Those statements as described earlier were made in bad faith:

> 1) "Since when do we consider it OK for the government to intervene between the parents and their children and telling them whats good and whats not? They know best."

A public school intervenes between the parent and their children to tell the student what is good work and what is not. Parents do not always know best. (Yes, there are policies which let the parent appeal, but the parent does not have final authority.)

Child protective services can take children away from parents who are egregiously poor parents.

I don't see this as a good faith argument.

> 2) "Whoever does not want to use electronics at school grounds are free to do so who are we to constrain them? Also, forbidding things never works let them learn."

If we believe in educating citizens then we set rules to help educate citizens. There is a long history of prohibiting certain electronics at school. At https://archive.org/details/makingvaluejudgm0000elde/page/38... we can read that over 50 years ago some schools prohibited transistor radios.

If the claim is in good faith then it's also saying that laws and rules forbidding smoking in school must be repealed. I certainly want to keep them in place, so I don't see this as a good faith argument.

> 3) "I think you are underestimating children; if they see that what they are doing with electronics affects them in any way, they will stop using them. Lets give them some credit and let them make their mistakes."

Which is an argument that if the child wants to play video games all day and is getting Ds or worse in every class, than teachers should like the child continue to make that mistakes. I don't see this as a good faith argument.

Marathon and ultra are different paradigms, for ultra all you need to do is get a heart rate monitor and try running at zone 2 as long as you can, the most difficult part is probably refueling, eating enough calories while preventing stomach cramps. Marathoners chase speed cos 42km/26miles is not that much if you are acclimated, which leads to a lot more interval/tempo/threshold training.

In the spring I get nettles and wild garlic and a bit later elderflower. Summer is berries (including elderberries), plums, wild cherries (not as good as they sound). Fall is wild mushrooms and sloe and monkey butt fruit and persimmons, apple, pear, etc. Winter is drinking elderflower vodka and sloe gin and eating frozen and dried stuff from the rest of the year. I'm sure I'm forgetting things.

I think this is a little silly and stretching the language a bit.

I agree entirely with what you're saying about being able to reframe a mood. I feel relatively in control of my emotions, and am normally the person to try bring a positive spin on a bad situation.

However, the happiness I get from reframing something is exactly that. It's "happiness", relative to the immediate recent sadness.

If you accept that there's any nuance or scale to happiness, then I think it's incorrect to say that happiness relative to reframing something bad is equivalent to "genuine happiness" of e.g. the success of a loved one, or a major life celebration.

Let's take a look at how we blew $4T in 4 months and then went to shutdown showdown for a month, but the tariff slush fund for the children.

How many people did the government kill without due process while the government was out of money?

If I can't stop you from killing without due process using my money, should I give you more money?

What sort of assistance from wealthy people does the government need? Are religious and nonreligious NGOs better able to assist the poor without causing harm without due process?

I started programming professionally at 16. I ran my first mile at 46. I'm 62 now and have run quite a bit. There's a very good (IMO) podcast that is mostly interviews of runners over 60[0]. At least one of his early interviews was with a woman who also finishes Ironmans. Disclosure, I'll be interviewed a week from today, although I don't know when it'll be published.

Where do you draw the line though?, from a centre left perspective someone who is center right is going to align more closely with a fascist than you are, it's applying a slippery slope argument to centrist politics, you can't just lump them together and write them off because they are a little right of you.

You can legitmately call out those people for the views they hold, you don't need call them something they aren't.

It would be as stupid as calling me a Stalinist because I'm slightly left of centre, it ends the debate because why would you debate someone you called a Stalinist.

I don't have to like DHH or his views but he's not a fascist.

That seems a bit excessive, especially since the water compartment should typically only come into contact with water.

The most critical part is the part you put the coffee in, which you can just put in the dishwasher every so often. Soaking the top compartment might make sense, you could use a dishwasher but I'd worry about the rubber seal.

The problem is, that library usually does not provide good enough boundaries. C library can just shit over your process memory. Java library can cause all the hell over your objects with reflection, can just call System.exit(LOL). Minimal boundary to keep demons at bay is process boundary and you need some way for processes to talk to each other. If you're separating components into processes, it's very natural to put them to different machines, so you need your IPC to be network calls. One more step and you're implementing REST, because infra people love HTTP.

Sorry, but that's super weak logic. That's like saying the KKK are perpetrating a genocide against blacks in the US right now. Or Hamas is perpetrating a genocide against the jews in Israel right now. At some point of failure to execute a plan, it no longer becomes a genocide.

There must be a difference between "genocide" and "attempted genocide" at the very least.

I was wondering the same thing. My mom was once assaulted by an anti-protestor and our newspaper published an article about it (slow news day maybe?). The article mentioned that she was a grandmother of 20. I thought it was a sort of strange and insignificant thing to mention an article about an assault.

I think in the context of an athletic accomplishment, being a grandmother does have some small significance because raising children does often hamper one's ability to stay fit during that period of their life. Her personal fitness during her 30s probably contributed to her success in her 80s.

Yes, but ...

Depending upon the size and dynamics of the team/organization the probability can be very low. You have to be ready to face Objections, Conflict, Suspicion, Politicking and really really want to do it.

Start with setting up a one-on-one with the CTO or VPoEng privately, have your points clear before going in, anticipate their pov and make it very very clear that you are being open and honest. You have to really focus on communicating persuasively with emotion; which people do naturally when they really believe in what they are doing.

I am super happy with Valetudo.

Since the robots got cameras and microphones, it's a no-go for me to have it in my home connected to some cloud.

It's little bit challenging to orient oneself in the project (tip: read a couple of the last release notes), but once you do, it's great.

I bought a new robot vacuum that was specifically recommended by the Valetudo project (Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Heat). The rooting was straightforward and non-destructive. The robot works great.

And the usage is much better even for non-developer people (i.e. my wife), as the UI is simple, not constantly changing under your hands, no ads, no upseling. It's a tool as it should be.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not a native speaker but neither do I use any of those tools to write my comments here.

The community I have the privilege to be involved with in Kenya is facing many challenges when it comes to propagating access to solar energy, and one relatively small thing that can be done would be to service the lead-acid batteries most commonly used there: the environment is quite hostile to them as I understand it, and lead-acid is "the affordable chemistry" of choice. The problem is that there is a lack of knowledge and toxic waste (sulphuric acid, lead) handling capability. Otherwise topping up old batteries as a service is absolutely an achievable goal, much needed, and there is money to be made.

Copyleft licenses are made to support freedom for everyone and particularly end-users. They only limit freedom of developers / maintainers to exploit the code and users.

> Does GPL help the linux kernel get investment from it's corporate users?

GPL has helped "linux kernel the project" greatly, but companies invest in it out of their self-interest. They want to benefit from upstream improvements and playing nicely by upstreaming changes is just much cheaper than maintaining own kernel fork.

On other side you have companies like Sony that used BSD OS code for their game consoles for decades and contributed shit.

So... Two unrelated things.

I’m not sure you understand the correct nature of American history. Yes, Germanic people created America from start to finish. But no, Chinese railway workers or even other Europeans like the Spaniards and some wayward Slavs, and definitely not “migrants from every corner of the earth” are the basis of the creation of the USA.

That is a propaganda psyop that was the wedge that Americans were not in any way equipped to see or defend against because they thought they were untouchable in “fortress America” protected by seas and weak neighbors. For context, for the first 200 years of America’s existence until 1975, America was basically a purely Germanic European civilization and even nation, depending on your definition. For context; the Anglo Saxons, the Dutch, the Germans, i.e., the founders of America; are all Germanic people. Although they played a rather secondary role, even the French, i.e., the Franks (I don’t want to hear it, French people! Yes, you’re special and unique flowers.) are also a Germanic people, even though that gets a bit more complicated the more special you get.

There are literally not even any Africans that made it to the Americas on their own volition to this day. Not one. There are no founding stock Hindi speakers. There are not even Spanish founders of America since Germanic culture did not and clearly still does not mesh well with whatever we want to call the culture of the group called Hispanics in America; and I personally appreciate Spanish and Hispanic culture and countries on an individual level.

It was no Semitic philosophy that could have even produced the Constitution. It was neither Hindu or any other reincarnation based mindset that restrained government power through the Constitution … how would it when you believe you just reincarnate and this is not a one-shot? It cannot … thus, it, among all the other cultures, did not. It all, solely and only came out of European cultures; people who respected the Greeks and Romans for their accomplishments, and didn’t instead try to destroy them and erase and replace their culture and knowledge and history as is being done now all throughout the “west”.

What happens when you’ve strangled the single most effective and productive engine of civilization in human history, Europe? I sure don’t know exactly because it’s never been done in 3000+ years of civilization, but someone’s going to find out, even if it happens after I’ve gone and we haven’t just let narcissistic psychopaths snuff out life on this planet and possibly even in the whole universe.

> Requiring technical evidence such as screencasts showing reproducibility, integration or unit tests demonstrating the fault, or complete reproduction steps with logs and source code makes it much harder to submit slop.

If this isn't already a requirement, I'm not sure I understand what even non-AI-generated reports look like. Isn't the bare-minimum of CVE reporting a minimally reproducible example? Like, even if you find some function, that for example doesn't do bounds-checking on some array, you can trivially write some unit testing code that's able to break it.

Yeah, that's a common myth. How much would you have to be paid to work 8 to 12-hour days bent over in the sun, with minimal water, and with exposure to pesticides and herbicides? Spotty bathroom access and few breaks?

A common theme found in various sources about using American labor in the fields is that American laborers are too slow, damage too much produce, and don't show up after a couple days. Another common theme is that immigrant labor works hard and uses their resources to ensure their children don't do the same work.

I say this with the utmost respect, but: are you guys serious?

It was YOU, iagooar, who posted a "Show HN" here with a link to the following URL: https://github.com/matisojka/qqqa

This is a public web site hosted on Github, and it belongs to the Github user matisojka, whose public Github profile is at https://github.com/matisojka, containing, in public, the full name "[name-redacted]" — put there by no other than yourself!

You came here to promote your tool, asking for feedback ("Curious if the HN crowd finds it useful"), so YOU expect me to download and run YOUR software on MY system, and therefore trusting your software to not wreck havoc on my personal computer system.

And then flip out if I dare to do a quick, superficial cross-check on whose software I'm installing? Using only public information that you yourself put onto the Internet on public pages yourself?

Are you seriously suggesting that I broke into private web sites or computer systems in order to illegally retrieve information that was not meant for public eyes? Like, seriously?

"go through my private profiles" -> can you point at a SINGLE private profile that I went through? Just ONE?

You asked for feedback. Your literally wrote "AMA" — "Ask me anything".

And all I did was just that: asking you to understand that if you want this project to gain traction, that the nature of the way it is currently distributed, and the way that the Apple ecosystem treats it, might be a roadblock for this.

A roadblock for a project that I love and want to see succeed.

There is an argument I rarely ever see in discussions like this, which is about reducing the need for working memory in humans. I'm just in the mid thirties, but my ability to keep things in working memory is vastly reduced compared to my twenties. Might just be me who's not cut out for programming or system architecturing, but in my experience what is hard for me is often what is hard for others, they just either don't think about it or ignore it and push through keeping hidden costs alive.

My argument is this; even if the system itself becomes more complex, it might be worth it to make it better partitioned for human reasoning. I tend to quickly get overwhelmed and my memory is getting worse by the minute. It's a blessing for me with smaller services that I can reason about, predict consequences from, deeply understand. I can ignore everything else. When I have to deal with the infrastructure, I can focus on that alone. We also have better and more declarative tools for handling infrastructure compared to code. It's a blessing when 18 services doesn't use the same database and it's a blessing when 17 services isn't colocated in the same repository having dependencies that most people don't even identify as dependencies. Think law of leaky abstractions.

I've had a concept 2 rowing machine for almost 20 years, so I (automatically) have a detailed record of every workout for two decades. N=1, but for me at least, I have clear evidence that the same level of effort does not produce the same result as you get older. onsistent effort does produce results at any age (that I've reached at least).

Where I live in Canada we have a humid continental climate. Climate change is a fact; and lets even say worst case scenario happens. We become a humid subtropical climate. Northern Canada is subarctic and they will become humid continental.

I look at these 'climates changing" and see absolutely no problem at all. Looks like an improvement to me. How can we go about speeding up this process?

I know a couple of intimidatingly intelligent people who are burdened with serious depression.

The one who talks about it thinks it’s because of their intellect, that they can see more than most people; that they have some special insight.

I’ve asked them to explain this special insight that other people “don’t get” and my thoughts on it are:

It’s not the insight that causes the problem. It’s accepting what they see. The kind of intellect they are using is great for discovering things but to accept what you discover is a different skill, which doesn’t seem to come along with a high IQ.

I don’t believe being intelligent makes you less happy. I believe a very well developed IQ-type intelligence coupled with an underdeveloped EQ-type intelligence is a recipe for unhappiness.

It really shouldn't. Getting the secrets in place should be done by otherwise unrelated tooling. Your apps or services should rely on the secrets being in place at start time. Often it is a matter of rendering a file at deployment time and the jobs of putting the secrets there is the job of the CI, and CI invoked tools, not the job of the service itself.

We at Lexsi Labs are pleased to share TabTune, an open-source framework for working with tabular foundation models (TFMs) !

TabTune was developed to simplify the complexity inherent in modern TFMs by providing a unified TabularPipeline interface for data preprocessing, model adaptation and evaluation. With a single API, practitioners can seamlessly switch between zero‑shot inference, supervised fine‑tuning, meta-learning fine-tuning and parameter‑efficient tuning (LoRA), while leveraging automated handling of missing values, scaling and categorical encoding. Several use cases illustrate the flexibility of TabTune:

- Rapid prototyping: Zero‑shot inference allows you to obtain baseline predictions on new tabular datasets without training, making quick proof‑of‑concepts straightforward.

- Fine‑tuning: Full fine‑tuning and memory‑efficient LoRA adapters enable you to tailor models like TabPFN, Orion-MSP, Orion-BiX and more to your classification tasks, balancing performance and compute.

- Meta learning: TabTune includes meta‑learning routines for in‑context learning models, allowing fast adaptation to numerous small tasks or datasets.

- Responsible AI: Built‑in diagnostics assess calibration (ECE, MCE, Brier score) and fairness (statistical parity, equalised odds) to help you evaluate trustworthiness beyond raw accuracy.

- Extensibility: The modular design makes it straightforward to integrate custom models or preprocessing components, so researchers and developers can experiment with new architectures.

TabTune represents an exciting step toward standardizing workflows for TFMs. We invite interested professionals to explore the codebase, provide feedback and consider contributing. Your insights can help refine the toolkit and accelerate progress in this emerging area of structured data learning.

Battery power for an oven like this is not necessarily cost-prohibitive; if you want cost effectiveness and long lifetime, LiFePo cells can be had for ~$60/kwh, which would be under <$200 for an ImpulseLabs sized oven.

Absolutely agree on resistive heating for cost effectiveness: Some cheap cells, resistive heating and minimal power electronics would probably be the way to go for the African market.

I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find a well-articulated example of a proper response. It isn't just a few words that needed changing, the original response by Mozilla mas missing the whole point that you bring up in your example: a 20y veteran volunteer is leaving. Within a small community, the action of a single veteran/leader leaving this way will certainly have an effect on the rest of the volunteers, even more so when you consider the cultural aspects of this specific community.

Reading through Sutskever's deposition is a great example of where the approach to AI mentioned in this post, is failing. The way the world is setup means you need politicians who are hungry for power and willing to do the not so human thing.

Asking for consent to train content, make sure sure AI is "green".. these of idealogical fancies that don't match up to the real world and the winners the folks walking straight over these.

In both cases a smarter model should be help to help offset the greenhouse gas effects and then some when used to discover new materials etc. Hallucinations can be managed, detected and corrected in most cases when doing research and in many cases are just treated as failed attempts as it is easier and cheaper to just ask the model to try again.

The only idea worth chasing here is a community driven and open source approach.

We have this in may formats... my fave is Ben Goertzel's OpenCog .. but there is more. I think Emad Mustaq is doing something similar with decentralised compute/AI.

Again - all bleeding edge is for profit.. not even OpenAI's idealogical foundation was able to be saved from being turned in to a for profit gig.

Just about everyone has already written one of these. Mine are called "ask" and "please". My "ask" has a memory though, since I often needed to ask followup questions:

I have a local version of ask that works with ollama: https://github.com/pmarreck/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/ask_loc...

And here is "please" as in "please rename blahblahblah in this directory to blahblah": https://github.com/pmarreck/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/please
