E911 (location information sharing) also doesn't work consistently.

The advantages of coming in an ambulance are traffic priority, priority attention in the ER, and medical triaging and coordination. The disadvantages in the US can be extremely expensive to some people if they don't have the correct insurance and inconsistent timeliness.

The advantage of coming in a private vehicle are speed (usually), but at the disadvantage of having to get past ER gatekeepers and lack of information and preparedness. It is probably wise if possible to have a third person in the vehicle call the ER at the destination hospital to let them know what generally should be expected.

Another issue is that it's inherently risky to live more than 30 minutes driving distance from a major city hospital. To do so basically necessitates a life flight which is extremely expensive and not necessarily quick either.

The for-profit, gotcha capitalism monopolization of hospitals and medical services by private equity also results in worse, deadlier patient outcomes, hospital closures, and more expenses. Medicare for all (m4a) isn't a fix because of the Medicare Advantage scam, the medigap scam, the part D scam, and the lack of long-term care, skilled nursing, dental, vision/glasses, mental healthcare, and hearing aid coverage that doesn't provide true comprehensive single-payer healthcare at a sane cost per patient and with better outcomes.

Trust me, I've tried. No success yet.

Not a PC gaming expert though and I don't have infinite resources to spend on figuring out how many millimeters of space each specific case has and how long a GPU is =)

But I've seen enough horror stories where someone bought a GPU or a heatsink that was like 5mm too big and didn't fit in the case without a hammer.

There are none. I bought, some years ago an HP laptop from HP on Amazon. Keyboard had a key (keypad right) that will come out when you press it. I tried to make a negative review on Amazon but Amazon wouldn't let me publish it because "guidelines". I think it contained the word "broken".

Since then, I only buy cheap crap (smartphone cases) from Amazon or things which are not available in other stores, as few as I can.

> certain commitments they need to make depending on when the source code is released

…or when OS updates are released, see Annex II B 1.2 (6) (c) and (d) ("Smartphones" > "Design for reliability" > "Operating system updates")

So given that the updates were already released months ago, the release of the source code is irrelevant.

Something I've never understood about DRM is, if the content is ultimately played on my device, what stops me from reverse engineering their code to make an alternative client or downloader? Is it just making it harder to do so? Or is there a theoretical limit to reverse engineering that I'm not getting? Do they have hardware decryption keys in every monitor, inside the LCD controller chip?

Cat 5e is rated for 2.5 Gbps at the full 100 m. Practically, I've not gotten any frame errors on a 30 m Cat 5e link up for 100 days @ 10 Gbps - but 2.5G is where the cheap consumer products are anyways.

Wi-Fi for gaming is usually plenty fine though, especially if you're not in a very dense area.

Sometimes, they return.

Recently, I read a post by an online musician friend that someone made a tip of 5 rubles with a banknote in Armenia - too low a sum to bother exchanging it in a foreign country. I was perplexed [1] because I don't recall ever [2] seeing such banknote - the lowest I remember seeing was 10 - and found that yes, it was introduced in 1998, discontinued and withdrawn from circulation in 2001 due to inflation and apparently reintroduced (maybe briefly?) in December 2022/January 2023.

I don't know why.

Hey csomar. If you switch over to discord I can work through it with you there.

> I understand you are trying to make a simple one click/command solution but some setups are more complicated than the standard yarn dev nextjs app.

I agree our docs are totally lacking on the more advanced dns setups! I'm so sorry.

> Maybe you should explain a bit what the server does and what it needs to connect to? why does it need some kind of a "proxy"?

If you don't do the manual installation where you point to the web-socket server in your <head>, it will inject that tag into your <head> tag. The web socket it how the chrome extension communicates with your file system.

You don't need the proxy for most things. It's fine to continue to just use codeinput.com as long as you have a way of making the websocket url discoverable to the extension.

The only other use case for the proxy is if you are on a page that has over 10k react fibers and are not using vite. This comes up a lot in things like CRMs or Next projects with a lot of 3rd party dependencies. In that case we have to find and replace a part of the react source that limits the number of React Fibers with source maps from 10k to 1m.

I tried to give a system design overview here but I will be the first to admit that it's pretty lacking https://jsxtool.com/docs/dev-server/system-design

> He did heil a couple of times.

Also a democratic senator, Cary Booker, did the same salute recently [0]. But when a Democrat does it nobody really cares. Or rather people seem to understand that it's also just a natural wave towards a public that, in a certain snapshot could be interpreted as a nazi salute.

> And created mechahitler.

Just like Google Gemini was too woke before, and generated images of people with about +50% colored, even if it was asked to draw German soldiers in the second world war.

And both companies have apologised and corrected the issues. And many AI companies have their controversies.

It is indeed concerning, but I basically would never trust any propietary LLM, because you never know how it's trained. But I don't boycott any particular one because of their bias, but rather combine and compare them. Then you can see which ones filter what kind of information.

> And lied about "white genocide" in South africa.

What do you mean exactly with "lied"? I agree that probably the word genocide is exaggerated. But I think there is certainly nasty stuff going on against white people in South Africa. Not to say that it doesn't happen the other way around either, but then again you should be fair and have both sides have a voice.

> And called a white supremacist talking point "the actual truth"

I dived into this story at the time. And what I found, was that this one "truth" tweet was a response to a response from someone in a discussion about a certain Jewish organization (ADL). Elon was criticizing this organization for pusing an anti-white racism message. Basically because they were saying that Elon taking over Twitter would make it more antisemetic. So they were just blaming each other and it classicly escalated with a Elon tweet that he did later regret. But yeah, I again don't think this is necessarily suggests that he supports racist ideologies. Rather that he opposes it. But standing up against white-racism is often seen as being a white supremacist and antisemitic.

Just FYI: macOS has been a BSD-derived operating system from the beginning, using stuff from FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD on a Mach kernel. It’s a certified UNIX™ operating system.

And because GPLv3 is incompatible with how Apple operates, they ship versions of pre-GPLv3 software like Bash 3.2.

Apple now ships openrsync [1] as a replacement for rsync due to licensing issues.

Show HN: AI Bubble Monitor
by itsnotmyai | 2025-11-13 08:41:16+00:00
The AI Bubble Monitor is an analytical tool designed to track and visualize indicators of potential market bubbles in AI-related sectors. It aggregates multiple data sources and metrics to produce a composite "AI Bubble Score" that ranges from 0 to 100. The tool breaks down the overall score into five sub-indices: Valuation, Capital Flows, Adoption vs Fundamentals, Sentiment & Hype, and Systemic Risk. Each sub-index provides insight into different aspects of market behavior and potential overvaluation.

Not quite: you can use it for games rendering, but with a Wifi adapter you more importantly want to use it for the video signal, and only transfer highres in the area you're looking at. A 4k game (2048*2048*2 screens) is 25gbit uncompressed at 100fps, which would stress even Wifi-7. With foveated rendering you can probably get that down to 8gbit easy.

Jesus, since when Fortnite and BF6 became gaming benchmark nowadays?

In order to 'win' a console generation there needs to be support for the games people want to play. Capitalism is a literal popularity contest, and any console that doesn't have Fortnite, COD, FIFA, etc won't win, regardless of what you or I might think of the games.

The reason why Steam can't win a console generation is simply because Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have enough sway over publishers (especially ones they own) than they stop popular games being available on a rival platform. They market it as 'exclusives' but really it's just anti-consumer.

> This is always what efficiency leads to, higher resource consumption.

That's not the same thing. If you make batteries more efficient then people build more devices that run on batteries and then you need more batteries than ever. But you also get a bunch of new devices you didn't used to have.

When computers get more efficient, miserly corporations cut staff or hire less competent programmers and force their customers to waste the efficiency gains on that, because they don't have enough competition or the customers are locked in by a network effect. The difference is whether you actually get something for it instead of having it taken from you so somebody else can cheap out.

>Remember that a therapist is really a friend you are paying for.

That's an awful, and awfully wrong definition that's also harmful.

It's also disrespectful and demeaning to both the professionals and people seeking help. You don't need to get a degree in friendship to be someone's friend. And having friends doesn't replace a therapist.

Please avoid saying things like that.

> From the very first announcement of this, Google has hinted that they were doing this under pressure from the governments in a few countries. (I don't remember the URL of the first announcement, but https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-... is from 2025-August-25 and mentions “These requirements go into effect in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand”.)

In ye goode olde times, the US would have threatened invasion and that would have been the end of it.

Half /s, because it actually used to be the case that the US government exercised its massive influence (and not just militarily) onto other countries for the benefit of its corporations and/or its citizens... these days, the geopolitical influence of the US has been reduced to shreds and the executive's priorities aren't set by doing what's (being perceived as being) right but by whomever pays the biggest bribes.

AR is a gimmick. VR has real games people spend many hours in. People don't want to see their boring surroundings unless it's to find the couch or a bag of chips.

The real reason the Frame is monochrome AR is because the cameras are also used for IR tracking which is better in monochrome. You can use the Frame in the dark or a dimly lit room - Quest 3 you can't. For real VR users the trade off is worth it.

Pathetic.

All this “engineering” from Meta and algorithm acrobatics with hundreds of optimization puzzles and they accept a solution that performs completely far worse in both runtime and space complexity.

Whoever believes that this is the acceptable solution from a trillion dollar company would have failed their own interview.

No company would accept a huge regression like that and push it to billions of users but Meta.

Total amateurs.

I want to be able to install apps from alternative app stores like F-Droid and receive automatic updates, without requiring Google's authorization for app publication.

Manually installing an app via adb must, of course, be permitted. But that is not sufficient.

> Keeping users safe on Android is our top priority.

Google's mandatory verification is not about security, but about control (they want to forbid apps like ReVanced that could reduce their advertising revenue).

When SimpleMobileTools was sold to a shady company (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38505229), the new owner was able to push any user-hostile changes they wanted to all users who had installed the original app through Google Play (that's the very reason why the initial app could be sold in the first place, to exploit a large, preexisting user base that had the initial version installed).

That was not the case on F-Droid, which blocked the new user-hostile version and recommended the open source fork (Fossify Apps). (see also this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45410805)

The problem is for now more of principle. Any DRM means you depend on Valve/Steam to continue to legally play your purchased games. If Valve has a change of heart, or of leadership, or hits a financial rough patch they can easily become a rent seeking gatekeeper. That non-intrusive DRM is the thin line between perpetually accepting Valve's conditions or playing illegally. This isn't a Valve specific problem but they get a free pass today because of all the good things they've done and the good will they're continuously showing. If this ever runs out a lot of people will be very disappointed.

I'm not judging them "by comparison" because it's hard to look bad next to Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. Just looking objectively at the situation, even if Valve was alone on the market.

It seems like a roundabout way to reduce the impact of a symptom of a self inflicted problem.

It's clearly not a solution, and it seems like it's a suggestion that can only come from a place of "but we've always done it this way" without experiencing a world without the problem.

Even if 5s and 10s are the only ones mixed together, I still have to look for a number. In every other currency you just… immediately take the right one.

That's not even taking into account that wallets are getting smaller and smaller as people need to bring them less. So adding dividers would be like acquiring George Costanza's wallet.

Hell, if they're different size you can even feel the value of a loose note in your pocket.

It's not "sideloading". It is "installing". Just installing the software you want, on the device you own. I am not "sideloading" applications on Windows, either. I download and install them. And before the internet, you got your software on CDs or floppies and ... installed them. This is nothing new. The term "sideloading" somehow implies you are circumventing or side stepping some mechanisms or protections in a non-sanctioned / nefarious manner. I am not. I just install software on my phone.

Raid shadow legends is also estimated to make around $1B/year, and there are many such mobile games.

Roblox made $3.6B in 2024. Fornite makes $3-5B/year for the past ~decade.

Genshin Impact is estimated to make ~$10B this year.

Every time I read an LLM's response state something like "I'm sorry for X", "I'm happy for Y" reminds me of the demons in Frieren, where they lacked any sense of emotion but they emulated it in order to get humans respond in a specific way. It's all a ploy to make people feel like they talk to a person that doesn't exist.

And yeah, I'm aware enough what an LLM is and I can shrug it off, but how many laypeople hear "AI", read almost human-like replies and subconsciously interpret it as talking to a person?

After reading your comment, I am a bit concerned. I get allergies really quickly, and it is difficult to gauge, at least for 2-3 days, which one it is— the allergy or a full-blown cold/infection— and sometimes it results in proper coughing, et cetera. I think I will talk to my doctor and ask whether there are any boosters needed for me in my late 30s, for which I might have been vaccinated as a child.

I believe the standard way is to downgrade the sampling density outside the area you're looking, see https://docs.vulkan.org/samples/latest/samples/extensions/fr... . Optimally you could attach multiple buffers with different resolutions covering different parts of clipspace, saving vram bandwidth. Sadly this is not supported currently to my knowledge, so you have to write to a single giant buffer with lower sample resolution outside the detail area, and then just downsample it for the coarse layer.

Others having different ideas and opinions doesn't mean that those ideas and opinions are correct, or that they are beneficial. They might be detrimental to the FOSS movement or to society in general.

So "to each their own" only goes so far.

One can very well accept that other devs/teams have different ideas and opinions && that they can (by law) have such ideas and opinions, but also think that they have them for the wrong reasons, and that they shouldn't have them, and that we'd all be better off if they didn't.

Except that (I believe) "just a PC" was a bit offputting for a lot of people - when you buy a PC you can't just turn it on and play video games, especially not after Microsoft's shenanigans.

I'm honestly surprised nobody else tried a "boot to game library" PC, but then, you also need the name and reputation for it. Microsoft could've done it, but they chose to make a console. Which is mostly a PC, but you need xbox games, a separate ecosystem.

> They clearly addressed this option in the post, under sufficient social engineering pressure these settings will easily be circumvented. You'd need at least a 24h timeout or similar to mitigate the social pressure.

"Under sufficient social engineering pressure" is the thing that proves too much. A 24h timeout can't withstand that either. Nor can the ability for the user to use their phone to send money, or access their car or home, or read their private documents, or post to their social media account. What if someone convinces them to do any of those things? The only way to stop it is for the phone to never let them do it.

By the time you're done the phone is a brick that can't do anything useful. At some point you have to admit that adults are responsible for the choices they make.
