That's not an implementation. That's a request to sites that you visit to comply willingly. An implementation would be defensive.

It's what you would do if you had the crazy idea that a browser should be a client for the user, and only a client for the user. It should do nothing that a user wouldn't want done. The measure of a client's functionality is indistinguishable from the ability of the user to make it conform to the their desires.

The project was fine. Good product. Clear brief. Reasonable timeline. They paid on time. Nobody yelled at me. I delivered everything they asked for, and they were happy with it.

And I was fucking miserable.

Four stakeholders. That’s all it took.

But here’s what nobody tells you: this is why your product looks like everyone else’s.

Right, I knew of those studies at the time. I also should add that I don't expect this has no impact on rates. My question is why I wouldn't expect the removal of trans fats to be more impactful?

It would be one thing if there was no known link between the two. But it was literally a time when people were not being paranoid when they cautioned to avoid a single ingredient on foods that you buy. They were terrible for you and there is a reason they were eradicated from all food by 2015.

FFS/FFS2 has been reliable for me, but unfortunately don’t have reliable power. It does frequently require fsck -y on boot. It’s not the most pleasant with my headless units requiring a serial cable.

My solution has been a huge UPS so they never turn off. Softupdates prevented this issue for over a decade (?), so hoping we get HAMMER2 or something down the road.

I’ve been running OpenBSD continuously since 3.4, and no other OS beats it in simplicity IMO. The upgrades have ticked along quickly and flawlessly year over year. I wish more systems would take a page out of that book and implement something like sysupgrade.

Is POE really relevant in the consumer space? All of my laptops get power and wired data through their USB C port. Does it make more sense to just send data over USB C?

For example, my Chromecast gets power and wired ethernet through its USB C port. (I have an official Chromecast power brick that I plug an ethernet port into.)

It's a one-man Search engine developed and hosted in the EU.

If you read his about page, it is basically an anti-centralization anti-ad anti-spyware attempt at websearch. It is also "The project is independent in that it has no loans, no investors looking for a payday, no strings attached anywhere to pressure it into doing anything than providing as much and as good internet search as it is capable of."

Not much to a developer. To a novice (potentially very young) user there's confusion why there are 3 versions for e.g. Windows, which to pick from and why, how to set the compiler/linker flags for the build tuple, and then confusion about how to make it work on the alternative targets for their friends (e.g. the web target or the Linux ARM Pi target for class) and why that has to be different steps. None of that is particularly complicated once you go through it all, but it is a bit of a barrier to the "see something on the screen" magic happening to drive interest. Instead, raylib is just a header file include, like a text based "hello world", regardless of platform - even if you don't want to use the pre-made bundle.

Or, more simply, it makes the process "easy as a scripting language" rather than "pretty easy".

I remember when USB first came out and there was a ton of novelty in powering all sorts of random stuff out of your computer’s USB port like fans and mug warmers. This has me wondering what sort of whacky stuff I could do with a PoE extractor/splitter. An ethernet desk lamp would be fun. I have 24 PoE ports on my switch and I’m only using three of them for PoE. Time to get creative.

> The problem here is not the law, but malicious compliance by websites that don't want to give up tracking.

If that was the case, then why does the site from the EU first off track... and secondly why does it use a cookie banner rather than some other solution that would not be malicious compliance with the law?

If there was a solution to having cookies and some other way of informing visitors of it, shouldn't that be demonstrated on the official EU government explaining GDPR?

https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/dealing-with-customers...

Can a company go wrong implementing the same approach as https://european-union.europa.eu/index_en uses? Why is that considered malicious compliance with the law?

The closest thing to a "secret trick" on guitar IMHO is to learn (1) the diatonic intervals(!), and (2) the fretboard, i.e. how these intervals happen to interact with the guitar tuning you're currently using. Start by singing ut, re, mi, fa, sol, la (solmization) and find the notes on the fretboard as you do so.

(You may notice that we don't use ti or altered solfège syllables: that's because it's convenient to keep mi-fa as the only marker for a half-step and use an exceptional hexachord mutation whenever we need to reach other notes. (For example, the full major scale is sung ut, re, mi, fa, sol, re, mi, fa and descends fa, mi, re, sol, fa, mi, re, ut. Note how the half-steps are consistently mi-fa and fa-mi. Centering the system on that one feature agrees with the guitar's nature as a relative instrument; unlike on the keyboard, we need not think by reference to a single diatonic scale and its 'sharp' and 'flat' notes.)

The system also extends cleanly to other intervals; for example, the minor third is just re-fa or mi-sol, the major third is ut-mi or fa-la, etc. Very easy.

I haven't read through the entire thing yet, but the long abstract combined with the way the acronym BDH is introduced (What does the B stand for?) along with the very "flowery" name (When neither "dragon" nor "hatchling" appears again past page 2) is rather offputting

- It seems strange to make use of the term "scale-free" and then defer a definition until half way through the paper (in fact, the term is mentioned 3 times after, and 14 times before said definition)

- This might just be CS people doing CS things, but the notation in the paper is awful: Claims/Observations end with a QED-symbol (for example on pages 29 and 30) but without a proof

- They make strong claims about performance and scaling ("It exhibits Transformer-like scaling laws") but the only (i think?) benchmark is a translation task comparison with <1B models, ,which is ~2 orders of magnitude smaller than sota

[Not a specialist, just a keen armchair fan of this sort of work]

> In addition to being a graph model, BDH admits a GPU-friendly formulation.

I remember about two years ago people spotting that if you just moved a lot of weights through a sigmoid and reduced floats down to -1, 0 or 1, we barely lost any performance from a lot of LLM models, but suddenly opened up the ability to use multi-core CPUs which are obviously a lot cheaper and more power efficient. And yet, nothing seems to have moved forward there yet.

I'd love to see new approaches that explicitly don't "admit a GPU-friendly formulation", but still move the SOTA forward. Has anyone seen anything even getting close, anywhere?

> It exhibits Transformer-like scaling laws: empirically BDH rivals GPT2 performance on language and translation tasks, at the same number of parameters (10M to 1B), for the same training data.

That is disappointing. It needs to do better, in some dimension, to get investment, and I do think alternative approaches are needed now.

From the paper though there are some encouraging side benefits to this approach:

> [...] a desirable form of locality: important data is located just next to the sites at which it is being processed. This minimizes communication, and eliminates the most painful of all bottlenecks for reasoning models during inference: memory-to-core bandwidth.

> Faster model iteration. During training and inference alike, BDH-GPU provides insight into parameter and state spaces of the model which allows for easy and direct evaluation of model health and performance [...]

> Direct explainability of model state. Elements of state of BDH-GPU are directly localized at neuron pairs, allowing for a micro-interpretation of the hidden state of the model. [...]

> New opportunities for ‘model surgery’. The BDH-GPU architecture is, in principle, amenable to direct composability of model weights in a way resemblant of composability of programs [...]

These, to my pretty "lay" eyes look like attractive features to have. The question I have is whether the existing transformer based approach is now "too big to fail" in the eyes of people who make the investment calls, and whether this will get the work it needs to get it from GPT2 performance to GPT5+.

If anyone is wondering, the Dockerfile for this repo (thanks for sharing!) basically just copies the binary in, it is a 19 line dockerfile.

I see both sides of the argument here, the people maintaining minio should not have to push docker images for free, it is work to maintain and test, especially across all the host platforms. And, this work isn't that complicated if you want to do it yourself.

As an EE, once upon a time had a rep pitch PoE lighting fixtures. Cool idea, like allowing each individual fixture to be addressable/ controllable on a BAS, but they just had too many gotchas like coupling lighting (and by extension life-safety systems) to the server/network, additional voltage drop considerations, etc. Otherwise and for network gear, I really like PoE!

I think it's becoming increasingly true for many people - as a Canadian, I've often seen such sentiments expressed ever since the tariffs and Trump's annexation threats. I've also seen a lot of support for a general economic rapprochement with China, at the expense of our relationship with the US (which seems crazy and shortsighted to me). Even for those who won't go that far, I think there's a general feeling that our formally positive relationship with America is tarnished, and can longer be taken for granted in the future.
Show HN: Drowning in emails? So I made an AI to give me the gist in one line
by amilasokn | 2025-10-22 13:52:55+00:00
I run multiple projects and D2C brands, which means I manage 6 different Gmail accounts and easily get 100+ emails a day - team updates, invoices, customer queries, newsletters, OTPs… everything mixed together.

After missing a few important emails that actually cost me money, I realized the problem wasn’t the number of emails, it was how hard it was to make sense of them.

So I built Supamail, an AI-powered inbox that helps you read less and understand more.

Here’s what it does: - Emails in last 24 hrs shrink into clear summaries, smart categories, and easy replies so you never feel overloaded again. - Groups multiple emails from the same sender into one smart thread - Categorizes emails automatically into Important, Transactional, and Promotional - Lets you mute categories you don’t care about (like promotions) - Sends you timed daily digests of important mails, if you prefer summaries over constant notifications

And because email privacy is non-negotiable, Supamail is CASA Tier-2 certified — meaning all processing happens securely with complete data isolation. The app never stores or reads your emails.

Currently, it supports Gmail on iOS, with Android and other providers coming soon. It’s $4.99/month after a 7-day free trial.

I don't understand how somebody can speak of the West having "foundational human rights and democracy" non-ironically now a days. We are literally providing the weapons to carry out an actual genocide in Gaza. And 'democracy' doesn't elevate Trump vs Biden as the two most liked candidates in the country. It's just a system with intentionally massive barriers to entry played by political elites and the occasional outsider billionaire, exactly the same in systems of minority rule.

The past ~10 years have been a serious masks off moment. I long for who we were in the past, but I sometimes wonder if we ever were that, or if it was just a more well maintained facade. But this current nonsense? Yeah, I'm not particularly upset about giving another bloc having their time in the limelight, because at this point somebody calling what we've become to be grounded on 'foundational human rights and democracy' is plainly nauseating.

How is a multiple square-kilometer radiator not just an inevitable Kessler syndrome disaster?

Edit: Some back of the envelope calculation suggests that the total cross-sectional area of all man-made orbiting satellites is around 55000 m^2. Just one 4km x 4km = 1600000m^2 starcloud would represent an increase by a factor of about 300. That's insane.

I've been using Walker now for a few weeks on a laptop running Arch Linux with Niri.

I've used launchers on Windows (main computer for now) and macOS (work machine) and I have to say, Walker is really top tier. It blends into your environment and provides easy access to a number of useful things.

It does so many things right and it's a relatively new project so I'm sure there's more to come.

I'm not the author, just a happy user.

a cursory sniff test of the abstract reveals greater-than-trace presence of bullshit

I would trust this paper far more if it didn’t trip my “crank” radar so aggressively

Red flags from me:

- “Biologically-inspired,” claiming that this method works just like the brain and therefore should inherit the brain’s capabilities

- Calling their method “B. Dragon Hatchling” without explaining why, or what the B stands for, and not mentioning this again past page 2

- Saying all activations are “sparse and positive”? I get why being sparse could be desirable, but why is all positive desirable?

These are stylistic critiques and not substantive. All of these things could be “stressed grad student under intense pressure to get a tech report out the door” syndrome. But a simpler explanation is that this paper just lacks insight

This is one of the first papers in the neuromorphic vein that I think may hold up. It would be amazing if it did too due to the following properties:

-Linear (transformer) complexity at training time

-Linear scaling with number of tokens

-Online learning(!!!)

The main point that made me cautiously optimistic:

-Empirical results on par with GPT-2

I think this is one of those ideas that needs to be tested with scaled up experiments sooner rather than later, but someone with budget needs to commit. Would love to see HuggingFace do a collab and throw a bit of $$$ at it with a hardware sponsor like Nvidia.

Monkey patching an object attribute, such as a method or a function of a module, may affect 3rd party libraries code that use said object.

This solution is interesting, as it provides the patched code as if it were a new package, indendant of the existing one you have installed, like vendoring, but without the burden of it.

In case you want to be the only one seing your patch, this is great. It also makes the whole maintenance easier, as you don't have to wonder if you patch it at the right time or in the right way. MK can fail in many subtle edge cases.

Inheritance, particularly, is a great Mk pitfall I expect this method to transparently work with.

Show HN: UI Bakery AI Agent – build secure internal tools by chatting
by vlugovsky | 2025-10-22 13:54:44+00:00
Hello HN community,

Many of you have probably used drag-and-drop builders to create internal tools or dashboards. They’re great for quick prototypes - but as projects grow, the same problems always appear:

1) Performance issues. D&D builders add a lot of runtime overhead. Once you add more screens, logic, or connected data sources, things start to lag - and you have little control over optimization. 2) Limited flexibility. You’re restricted to the vendor’s components and configuration options. Anything custom usually turns into a hack. 3) Design overhead. You still spend a lot of time manually picking components, arranging layouts, and tweaking spacing before even connecting data - and the final result often looks… meh. 4) Maintenance pain. Opening an old project (or one handed off to a new teammate) often means digging around to find where things live. There’s no simple way to reason about structure or reuse.

At UI Bakery, we kept asking ourselves how to fix these issues without losing the speed of a low code builder.

First, we built an AI assistant trained on our docs. Then, about 1.5 years ago, we launched the AI App Generator, which could generate UI Bakery apps from text prompts. That helped, but under the hood it was still drag-and-drop - with all its inherent limits.

That’s when we decided to rethink the foundation entirely. “What’s the most flexible, customizable project model possible?” The answer: code.

So we rebuilt our approach and are now launching UI Bakery AI App Agent - a new way to build secure internal software by chatting.

Key features:

- Data connectors: Connect to SQL, NoSQL, REST APIs, and third-party services. - Speed: Start from a plain-text prompt - AI generates a fully functional app in minutes. - Code ownership: Access and edit the generated React code directly. - Security: RBAC, SSO, SOC 2 compliance, audit logs, and deployment either in our cloud or fully on-prem. - Customization: Use any React component you find online or build your own - it’s all just code.

Who is it for?

- Founders/CTOs automating internal processes. - Developers tired of rebuilding CRUD/admin UIs from scratch. - Enterprise teams needing internal tools with advanced security (on-prem, SSO, RBAC).

We see UI Bakery as the next evolution beyond drag-and-drop builders — from "fast but limited" to "fast, customizable, and secure."

We’d love to hear what the HN crowd thinks: If you’ve used drag-and-drop builders, what’s been your biggest pain scaling or maintaining them? Would you trust AI to generate internal tools that you can later expand like a normal codebase?

In theory you could build UML 2 and the extensions to UML 2 pretty cleanly based on the Meta Object Facility except when you look at MOF it has some UML 1 concepts in it which are not quite the same so the resulting system would have both the UML 1 and UML 2 concepts of "Class" in it.

If you dealt with all that you could possibly bootstrap an implementation of UML 2 on a simple core, but I think the UML vendors who backed the specification went out of their way to make this difficult because the last thing they'd want is for there to be a simple implementation of it.

My wife had a Toyota at one point which developed an interesting fault - all of the internal electrics would cut out at random times.

Turns out the cause was a leaking sunroof!

Water got in through the sunroof and the genius design had some kind of electric junction box (or fuses or something) at the lowest point of the passengers footwell. So water got in, flowed to where all the electrics were and things stopped working.

Fortunately it doesn't rain that often here in Scotland so it wasn't a big problem ;-)

In countless ways, there's endless wars among admins.

An example though is that several historically relevant facts are edited out to favor some narrative.

E.g. Crimea, the Ukrainian autonomous republic that seceded/was annexed by Russia, tried to split 3 times from Ukraine, once even during the Soviet Union, but those events have been edited out on multiple pages to favor some western-centric narratives.

I think both sides of this argument are correct:

1. MinIO is a business and they don't owe anything to anyone for free. 2. People using the OSS version also are free to express their dissatisfaction.

This is not contract law though. This is about using OSS as a marketing gimmick to get mindshare, penetrate the market and then do a bait and switch.

From one hand, it is within their right to do whatever they want as marketing. From the other hand, we as the community should be more aware of OSS as marketing vs OSS as we would like to see it.

There is a damage to the community however: this erodes trust in OSS companies, so just like "content marketing" or "influencers" or any other type of marketing, after a while it loses its effectiveness, to the detriment of real "content", real "influence" and real "OSS".

> If you can't enforce the law, then it is a bad law.

It isn't that this can't be enforced, it just lagged because of the size and changes that this law brought.

> Also, this is a problem that naturally solves itself over time, so no law was ever needed.

How does it solve itself?

> The UX of the web degraded for everyone after GDPR was passed and that I think everyone can agree on.

Due to website operators doing illegal things.

Why would people care about something they don't know about?
