Another industry term for this is defined in the Domain Driven Design world as a domain's "ubiquitous language"[0]:

These aspects of domain-driven design aim to foster a common language shared by domain experts, users, and developers—the ubiquitous language. The ubiquitous language is used in the domain model and for describing system requirements.

these are all surprisingly specific questions that can actually be answered!

1. It's dynamic 2. It's compiled 3. Elixir script is just a file with Elixir code that compiles and runs right away 4. I've been writing Elixir for 7 years and barely know any Erlang. I even submitted bugs to OTP team with reproductions in Elixir, they're chill. 5. Preemptive scheduler, immutable data

Since I have only used Gemini Pro 2.5 (free) and Claude on the web (free) and I am thinking of subbing to one service or two, are you saying that:

- Gemini Pro 2.5 is better at feeding it more code and ask it to do a task (or more than one)? - ...but that GPT Codex and Claude Code are better at iterating on a project? - ...or something else?

I am looking to gauge my options. Will be grateful for your shared experience.

IP over thunderbolt is definitely a thing, don't know whether IP over USB is also a thing. USB4x2 or TB5 can do 80Gib/s symmetrical or 120+40 asymmetrical (and boy is this a poster child for the asymmetrical setup). The Mac definitely supports that fine, so, as long as the Spark plays nice, USB is actually a legitimately decent choice.

<video> tag is probably the biggest change, but I still remember YT used SWF/FLV before then (and likely could still do today).

However, it's clear that the devs are mainly composed of trendchasing sheeple who have drunk the Goog-Aid and are addicted to newness and reinventing wheels to make them square... because they have to justify their existence.

> that laws are going to have to catch up to reality

Reality is moving away from states, and is now moving faster than legacy "laws" can ever hope to catch up.

That's a big part of what's fueling the wave of abandonment of DRM. I mostly play bluegrass - and given the lineal connection between traditional music and internet freedom, it probably comes as no surprise - but every serious bluegrass album is DRM-free now. Every grammy winner in the bluegrass and americana categories since at least 2020 has been DRM-free.

This is all, of course very fuzzy, but "I will spend 30 dollars on food tonight" can turn into "I call the restaurant and order 30 dollars of takeout" vs "I use door dash to get 30 dollars of food from that restaurant", and in the latter the restaurant sees less sales. But if I'm already like "I will have food from this place I like" and it's not on doordash or w/e, I might still be motivated enough to head over there!

There's a lot of dynamic variables here (including of course the "the person doesn't order from the restaurant"), but the few times I've used those delivery apps I end up ordering very little food for a lot of money.

I try to just do takeout instead.

I read The Starship and the Canoe after it was mentioned in a reply to me [1], what a great book.

The theoretical physicist father, Freeman Dyson, champion of Orion, pretty much said that the idea was crazy and he wouldn't have pursued it further by the 70s IIRC. Of course, other scientists' options may have differed.

Yes, most likely the restaurant employees. That's probably why they are starting with orders that are fulfilled by DoorDash employees.

From the article

> The service will begin with deliveries from DashMart, DoorDash’s owned and operated convenience, grocery, and retail store that also powers DashMart Fulfillment Services, with plans to expand over time.

I have also struggled to find real world examples for these approaches.

Following a BDD approach with a coding CLI works a lot better, as it documents the features as code rather than verbose markdown files no one will read.

Having a checklist for an AI to follow makes sense, but that's why agents.md exists. Once the coding patterns and NFRs are documented in it, the agent follows them as well as they would follow a separate markdown spec.

Thanks for putting this together. This IMO is 1000x better than any other AI challenges to date. ARC-AGI is bullshit and has nothing to do with reality.

I’ll likely use some of your tests for our robotics (not just humanoid) testing in the future at least as some baselines.

Also I really liked you dressing up as a robot - that’s very fun and really reflects the point of robotics: replace human action for all tasks.

My suggestion: Identify a collapsed person in the home and render first aid (I need this because I have epilepsy and live alone)

Bronze: ID collapse and call emergency services

Silver: Bronze tasks + manipulate person into appropriate recovery position

Gold: Communicate details to emergency personnel and playback previous hours of interactions

"I'm sure it will be done " - alganet

I must have misinterpreted this.

I really don't want to argue around defending 2027. It is a speculative view. They say so themselves. But speculation on the future has been a valuable tool in the past. So not dismissing out of hand. These were researchers with some respectable credentials. Not simply fan fiction like Shades of Gray or something.

As to news. There was an article, it matched a point in 2027, i made the connection. How is pointing out a similar connection or idea, invalid? 'fitting speculation into news' . Like no connections can ever be made?

Legal Notices and IP Bans resulting from Salad selling my bandwidth to a VPN
by DanielChen7 | 2025-10-17 01:56:47+00:00
I turned on Salad’s Bandwidth Sharing and a few weeks later started getting legal notices addressed to my home IP from Sony and Amazon. Around the same time, multiple services started blocking my IP outright.

What I saw while Salad was running:

- Large volumes of outbound requests to Sony, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and other major domains.

- Traffic patterns that looked like scripted logins or scraping rather than normal browsing.

- Blocks and captchas escalating into permanent bans on several platforms

Notes:

- No local VPN active

- Issue stops when I stop Salad

- I was logging all the requests coming through while I had no other browsers or applications passing network traffic.

- Aren’t VPN companies all boasting about NO LOG POLICIES? I didn’t sign any agreements with your clients and I’m clearly logging the network requests. So much for that policy I suppose.

- Is Salad responsible for doing a KYC on customers that are using GPU’s and Network Bandwidth? How do you manage that with millions of VPN clients you have no communication with?

I understand Bandwidth Sharing routes third-party traffic, but the way it’s being used here is creating real risk for the end user whose IP is exposed.

Questions for anyone that follows this Salad product or maybe any Salad supporters here:

Is this expected behaviour for Bandwidth Sharing?

Is there any filtering to prevent abusive or credential-stuffing-like traffic?

Any reliable way to repair IP reputation after this happens? If the official guidance is “disable Bandwidth Sharing,” that’s a bit harsh as most users may not even fully understand the repercussions until it’s too late. As a company wouldn’t it be more responsible to only sell bandwidth and GPU to companies where you actually know the end company/user? I may be missing something but from what I understood companies doing this are responsible for doing a KYC on the end user. How are you doing a KYC on the end user of the VPN service routing traffic through users like me? Who’s accountable for the legal fees, service fees and more that are being imposed in the US and other countries by many isps for abuse related matters?

Happy to share scrubbed logs if it helps. Looking for concrete steps to avoid repeats or to remediate the bans. This is important for all users like myself to consider.

> Okay, but, that was like 15 years ago, on some shitty first-run computers that no one bought.

I wouldn't call the first Microsoft Surface, Surface 2, Dell XPS 10, and Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 products that no one bought.

> I've never met a single person that owned, or has ever used, a Windows RT device.

I have and I also regrettably bought one myself.

> Dwelling on the past isn't going to move us forward.

The past dictates the future, and history repeats itself. Microsoft made their intentions known, it would be foolish to pretend they haven't. They continue to make their intentions known today with the Pluton cryptographic co-processor, that paired with a TPM, can enforce remote attestation by design. That is literally the intent of the Pluton chip: ensuring platform integrity and securely attesting to 3rd parties that your system is Blessed/trusted.

> Anyone pushing the "Secure Boot and TPM are evil" trope in 2025 is objectively a fool and should be ignored

Anyone tearing down this strawman is tilting at windmills for some reason.

> Most don't even realize what a TPM does, they think it's some secret chip inserted by glowies into their computers to prevent them from running free software.

I wouldn't project ignorance on those you don't actually know. You can understand what a TPM does, understand how it can be abused today and acknowledge how it was abused in the past.

While it's a tragedy that's happened to you the FBI posts yearly crime statistics. The numbers are verifiably true. Violent crime is at it's lowest point in decades. Even war zones like Memphis are on downtrend (though still terrible relative to other places in the US). The news absolutely lies to keep people afraid because fear sells.

Think about how afraid people were of kidnappings in the 90s, or drugs in halloween candy, etc. All overplayed, and in the case of halloween candy, a complete fabrication.

It's gotten much worse with social media. Whereas you'd normally only get your hit of "the world is on fire" once or twice a day at your favorite news station now you can get it 24/7/365.

Fortunately the solution is easy, cloudbusters:

Basically a metal rod/pipe with a good earth ground pointed at the sky. How conductive are trees? Maybe trees already act as cloudbusters, so we should plant more trees! Someone should apply for an NIH grant to try this. Don't know if I'm being sarcastic, it might actually have health benefits, there doesn't seem to have been much independent research.

Realistically, you're probably going to want to let the user choose the colors used for their parenthesis, and once you have that set up it's pretty easy to include one or more colorblind-friendly color schemes.

Panic's "Nova" does this. It lets you pick your palette for the parenthesis from about 30 choices. It also adds vertical lines along the left edge to show indentation level and lets you choose from the same palettes. There's three at the bottom of both palette lists designed for protanopia/deuteranopia/tritanopia.

I didn’t say that rails doesn’t use websockets. What i meant is that liveview comes with websockets fully integrated into the framework. This doesn’t mean rails can’t use websockets, but liveview has implemented it more seamlessly at the core. I’ve also mentioned that rails and laravel are both great frameworks, but after using phoenix, i felt that liveview offered advantages in terms of performance and implementation. I’ve worked with all three frameworks and chose the one that worked best for my project. Have you had a chance to try phoenix? If not, do try it out then you’ll get what I meant.

I'll be straight up and tell you we have no real idea... We don't entirely know what this is. Our theory of dark matter started as "We are missing a large amount of matter in order for galaxy's to form as they do". To "We can detect this matter in rings around galaxy's that bend light, and is acted on by gravity but nothing else." and now. "We can find these pre-"historic" clumps of dark matter before they are decreted into discs".

None of this tells us what this "matter" actually is.

When I was first introduced to BASIC in elementary school, I was spending a lazy afternoon reading in the built-in QBasic docs (being able to hit F1 and get immediate help is still one of the coolest things ever IMHO) about the SOUND keyword, which let you set a frequency and duration.

I remember irritating the hell out of my parents (and our dog) with it until one day, by accident, I noticed they couldn’t hear the tone anymore. The frequency was somewhere in the range of 15-20 kHz IIRC.

So I wrote a “PASSWORD.BAS” source that would play that high pitched sound in short, one-tick intervals continuously while polling the keyboard for input but then stop after a random amount of time. To authenticate, the user had to hit the spacebar within a one second window of the sound’s termination. Hitting the spacebar too early would also result in access denied. Fun times!

It's possible to focus on more than one thing at a time as a society, and we do.

But the medical regulatory establishment of the US being taken over by anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists is worth at least a single article, I think, and it does directly and obviously harm society. Funding for research, education, trust in and access to vaccines are all going to be negatively affected, the destruction of medical infrastructure and knowledge will have long-term consequences beyond a single administration.

> HN is the only place I can read comments that are genuinely disagreeable.

Only true if your general argument is still in line with the HN zeitgeist. You are allowed to disagree so long as you dont disagree on core topics. HN has the same problem reddit does in that a voting system in general necessarily introduces censorship and lack of diversity of discussion. While people here don't karma farm (or karma guard) as aggressively it takes almost nothing to end up shadowbanned/instant-flagged/etc for having a disagreeable standpoint.

In other words, as long as you aren't right of center you can disagree all you want. Even a trivially libertarian viewpoint is met with significant ire.

Voting systems in general are a massive problem in social media. They don't stop the truly bad actors but they drive away the exact thing that prevents you from being caught in an echo chamber (of which HN is an example of).

I think you need a Zettelkasten, but its data collection from all your sources may be challenging if not an overkill... However, a Zettelkasten stores metadata, which can include tags, subject headings, and unique identifiers that help link and organize notes. This metadata enhances the ability to retrieve and connect related information within the system; not sure how to do so externally.

The key is to store both data and metadata... OpenMetadata may be what you need: https://open-metadata.org/ but I couldn't spot wiki, chat, github nor JIRA connectors :shrug:

Good luck, keep us posted.

The numbers on that site aren't quite right. For the Pixel 8a, May 14th, 2031 is 2036 days from now which is ~5.58 years rather than 5 years. They're using the 1st of the month instead of the launch day and for some reason the number of months is also sometimes dropped. In practice, a Pixel being launched in May will mean it's going to get a final update in May and the first missed update will be June rather than May. That means their end dates are 1 month early in practice. Not clear why the number of months gets dropped for some of the values they show such as the Pixel 8a.

It’s plainly against the rules of the site to post political stories, other than a few exceptions:

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon… If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I flag most politics, too (not the legitimately interesting think pieces… I’m talking about the day-to-day DC noise).

I don’t want this place to turn into the front page of Reddit or Facebook - outrage bait news stories and sensational half-truth political headlines to generate engagement. This is a unique space, as the article mentions, and I think it’s so interesting to engage with people here. I want to hang onto that.

Over time, if we’re not careful, this could end up being overrun by: “You won’t believe what Chuck Schumer Tweeted about TRUMP’s latest executive order!!”

Unless you have spaghetti code or have built an abstraction tower, a variable is probably scoped/namespaced neatly. Often, it's just a quick grep to find it. In Emacs, if a variable is only used within a file, you can just `M-x occur` and do the editing there. Where those tools fail, is when you have ecosystems that tries to be clever (JavaScript with its transpilers, Java with its annotations)

> The reason why the number of FHA loans going to non-permanent residents has dropped in recent months, according to Thomas, is mostly that they are not buying anymore.

What? No, the reason why the number of FHA loans going to non-permanent residents has dropped is that they are not eligible for them. It literally says so at the beginning of the article.

I feel your pain, As an author even I detest DRM and the lack of ability to move between ecosystems, best way is to start out on the right foot and ensure you get all your books, DRM free, and download them locally.

There are also plenty of good free books from indie authors like me (www.rodyne.com) that don't make it to Amazon. I also normally check out smashwords (www.smashwords.com) for their free books or sales, and download about 30 books - about 5 are usually worth keeping, which is about in line with Kindle books I pay for. Also worth signing up for your local library for the best-sellers, they often have partnerships to allow you to loan ebooks.

It wasn’t so much about the tempo of web standards; it was rather that W3C cared about the consensus of a far wider variety of entities, and browsers got fed up with being told what they should and shouldn’t do by people that were nothing to do with browsers—people that had interests in HTML, sure, but who were trying to pull it in directions that none of the browsers were interested in. And so, W3C having failed as a venue for browser HTML standardisation, they took it over.

To parody the situation: a consortium of bridge engineers is discussing building standards, but somehow they’ve been lumped together with every girl named Bridget and every young boy making toy bridges with blocks, and they all have voting rights, and the girls are insisting that bridges must sparkle, and the boys think every bridge should be able to support helicopters and diggers.

When the term first came about, it was mainly used to contrast with what was around earlier.

"Earlier" could be anything from Usenet to forums etc that were based around topics. Your view of content was based around the topics you selected. You followed topics.

A social network was where you connected with other people, and your view of content was based around who those people were and their activity. You followed people not topics.

That's definition I'm sticking to, and why I don't regard reddit or HN as a social network. Although on HN doesn't really have topic following functionality, you just select topics on the fly.

Please convince the Australian government of this. Currently they are trying to "ban" social media for under 16s.

https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/soci...

"Services including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X and YouTube meet many of the conditions the legislation uses to define an ‘age-restricted social media platform’.

[snip...blah blah]

Over the coming weeks, eSafety will have more to say about the platforms it considers must comply with the minimum age obligations."

So they are going to start with the big obvious ones and then keep trying to follow the trail of where teens flee to online.

'Tis a silly thing.
