It makes sense if you remember that Dang doesn't make the rules, and isn't in charge of the rules, and is hired to enforce the rules by YC who does control those rules. Discussing the rules is "noise" in that framing because it can never actually change the rules.

The part that I've always disliked is how Dang always just says "oh trust me, none of that happens here" as if that is a normal thing to insist, don't question the legitimacy of our system.

But it's not like I am ever going to get access to the kind of data to actually verify that claim. I don't exactly expect PG to give a random person like me DB access. I can't fault Dang for not wanting to give out tons of info either, as that aint their job.

HN gets millions of hits per day and is variously treated by outsiders as a special place of experts (it isn't), or internally by middle manager types who insist they are special while being unable to read at a high school level and are disconnected from reality but are still inexplicably in charge of decisions that affect the rest of us.

Are we really supposed to believe this place has never been attacked? Never been successfully attacked?

Frankly, many people do work at places where people are trying to look out for each other as humans and for a long, long time that was in fact the norm -- especially in white collar work.

Faceless, sterile companies with no investment in their employee's humanity were the domain of grim jobs in industrial manufacturing, resource extraction, and some agriculture.

It's true, but also troubling, that this dehumanizing view of labor has now also taken root in most of the largest white collar companies and among many of the smaller companies that compulsively emulate them, but we really don't help anybody by normalizing that without criticism because it's a very bad thing for society.

Basically: you're not wrong for what that kind of job is like today, and that's exactly what they're bringing attention to with that statement.

Mass drivers don't need to be a linear ramp, portions can be circular

It would work better for smaller, unmanned craft, especially when you consider g force limitations

NPP is only theoretical, and still has major problems such as finding a material that can withstand a nuclear detonation at point blank range. Mass drivers have been proven to work, albeit at a smaller scale

Recognize that holding is an action and a choice, too.

If you don’t have a coherent theory to {act}ively hold an asset, you probably shouldn’t be acting to hold it, and be acting to sell it.

This is equally true for TSLA and NVDA as it is for VOO and BRK.

Why? Because when prices are too low you need to be able to hold (and ideally buy) with conviction and when prices are too high you need to be able to sell with conviction, although the latter is less important if you have steady income.

If you don’t have a theory of value, you’ll be able to do neither effectively, and risk loss of principal and opportunity in a downturn.

I am curious if anyone has tracked the full scale of this admins events+inflammatory news bits and found questionable patterns like the Tylenol claims just before a large sale and then mostly nothing, or the tariff roller-coaster and insider trading allegations, or other sleigh-of-hand type patterns. Given the well-known "flood the zone" type strategy.

It's debatable whether it was first recorded in '63 or '64.

The genesis of Guaraldi's involvement was a 1963 documentary "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" which has nothing to do with the 1969 animated feature.

This was produced for TV but never aired, and recently surfaced on Youtube: https://youtu.be/UGAs5fZUvBM&t=425s

To complicate things further, Guaraldi released "Jazz Impressions of A Boy Named Charlie Brown" (once again, based on the 1963 documentary) but these recordings are not the same as the cues used in the documentary.

The problem is described in the first two sentences of the article:

> "The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court suddenly couldn't access his email. According to Microsoft, that's because of US sanctions against the court's employees."

Nothing you've listed relates to that.

If American services and platforms have become unreliable and untrustworthy because the American government is erratic, then it's only natural that European organisations will look for alternatives.

DirectX is a funny one to list because 90% of Windows games run on Linux. WINE and Proton solve that problem for you:

I'm sure your feedback is appreciated, but the tone of your reply is a skeptical engineer with arms crosses. This is a show HN post, and we should support the founder(s) if we think this is a good idea. Clearly a MVP product is not going to check all your boxes, but does it have the potential to be really useful?

I see this idea as a sort of AI ERC/DRC checker that offers some incredible opportunities. Even if it only catches one small, it could save thousand of dollars down the line.

It's another tool in the toolbox for hardware designers.

Yup. I nearly had this movie memorized when I was a child.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWXuDNmO7j8

Peter Weller, playing Buckaroo Banzai, is late for his military-particle-physics-interdimensional-jet-car test because he's helping Jeff Goldblum's character with neurosurgery. Later that day he will go play lead guitar in an ensemble.

Scriptwriting gurus advise that your protagonist should have flaws and character progression. The writers of this movie disagree.

This ignores the way it often works: Customer comes to NVDA with a problem and NVDA comes up with a solution. This solution now adds value for every customer.

In your example, if OpenAI makes a massive new find they aren't taking it to NVDA.

Nvidia has the advantage of a broad base of customers that gives it a lot of information on what needs work and it tries to quickly respond to those deficiencies.

> for example, by using its own mail server.

I was one of the people fighting for keeping Unix when the UU went to Exchange. It was a drama: instable af, the MS consultants could not keep it running even for 24 hours at a time while unix had 0 issues and kept chugging along (I don't remember what Unix: I think it was SunOS/Solaris). It was forced through at great cost and effort but of course sponsored by MS. It sucked for years to come.

I was at the UvA too when they moved to, equally instable MS stuff too: I worked behind some of the last Sun machines and got to take a palet of sparcstations, ultras and an e450 home when they got phased out (I still have them and they are still working, of course). Could have all been Linux now but MS was so aggressive and no one listened to profs or students, even in all tech deps who were all vehemently against the move.

I was going to write a snarky comment, but in the "if any of Qualcomm leadership is listening" I'm going ask a question:

Why is any of this needed when the kernel is full of platforms that are forward compatible with the Linux kernel and boot and generally operate on day one, without a huge pile of changes?

What does it benefit the user to have a huge pile of proprietary implementations of devices they frankly don't care about? Ex: just about anything related to power management? Why can't QC adhere to industry standards when they implement standard devices, ex: USB? Why can't these platforms adhere to industry standard firmware interfaces rather than custom mailbox interfaces?

I concluded that was not possible with this particular model last time I looked, though I should try again (sadly I didn't take notes). It may well have been that the required part was simply out of stock everywhere.

Or it might have been that the lovely, lovely human beings who installed this thing somehow screwed it up so that no extender would ever fit. They had a habit of doing that. Unfortunately, the best way to summarize the electrical in this new-construction house is that Mistakes Were Made™.

What SaaS stack? The backend and frontend are just doing their job, so they're about as heavy as they would be if it was, let's say, an electron app, and the only other services are minio (a glorified web server) and Postgres, which a "normal" app would probably replace with sqlite and save a hundred or two megabytes of RAM. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if using Postgres was more resource efficient than having your engineers come up with a custom ad-hoc datastore.

All in all, the overhead would probably be equal to two tabs in Chrome.

And calling it a "small graphics tool" is just nonsense. If you're doing UI/UX design, this is THE thing you spend your time in. It's like Premiere for a video editor or AutoCAD for an engineer. If it takes 30 seconds to load and eats half your system memory, who cares, it's what you bought the computer for.

Besides a specific subset of programmers that only use Vim or Emacs, every other professional is used to giving whatever tool they're using to do their job all the resources their computer has. You don't see video editors complaining Davinci Resolve runs a whole PostgreSQL instance in the background.

You are missing my point, maybe.

Plan9 had this by default in 1995, no third party tools required. You launch a program, it gets its own namespace, by default it is a child namespace of whatever namespace launched the program.

I should not have to read anything to have this. Operating systems should provide it by default. That is my point. We have settled for shitty operating systems because it’s easier (at first glance) to add stuff on top than it is to have an OS provide these things. It turns out this isn’t easier, and we’re just piling shit on top of shit because it seems like the easiest path forward.

Look how many lines of code are in Plan9 then look at how many lines of code are in Docker or Kubernetes. It is probably easier to write operating systems with features you desire than it is to write an application-level operating system like Kubernetes which provide those features on top of the operating system. And that is likely due to application-scope operating systems like Kubernetes needing to comply with the existing reality of the operating system they are running on, while an actual operating system which runs on hardware gets to define the reality that it provides to applications which run atop it.

This bubble phase will play out just as the previous have in tech: consolidation, most of the value creation will go to a small group of companies. Most will die, some will thrive.

Companies like Anthropic will not survive as an independent. They won't come close to having enough revenue & profit to sustain their operating costs (they're Lyft to Google or OpenAI's Uber, Anthropic will never reach the scale needed to roll over to significant profit generation). Its fair value is 1/10th or less what it's being valued at currently (yes because I say so). Anthropic's valuation will implode to reconcile that, as the market for AI does. Some larger company will scoop them up during the pain phase, once they get desperate enough to sell. When the implosion of the speculative hype is done, the real value creation will begin thereafter. Over the following two or three decades a radical amount of value will be generated by AI collectively, far beyond anything seen during this hype phase. A lot of lesser AI companies will follow the same path as Anthropic.

I'd wager in the reason it's downloaded if in fact it is, is that it's creepy, not "conservative." Views of sex that are retrograde and nostalgic, motivated by challenging depiction of sexuality, are the problem. As we've seen with some public figures, being closeted about gender preference, kink, etc. is the real problem, not whether young people are being choosier about sexual partners or are just less interested.
by apsurd | 2025-11-28 19:29:16+00:00
I enjoyed the linked post overall, but want to highlight one thing:

>The real insight: paying down your mortgage reduces your monthly burn, which reduces the chance you’ll need to sell stocks in a downturn. It’s not about math, it’s about resilience.

This seems more emotional than anything. The feeling of paying off a mortgage and being relieved of some monthly burden. But there will always be monthly burdens, that's life. Everyone needs monthly cashflow. So the insight of putting extra cashflow into a mortgage to offset the burden is just reversing the purpose of why you got the mortgage in the first place? What I mean is money has time value, a mortgage is paying for the time. So being in a hurry doesn't automatically insightfully make sense.

The post is all about resilience, I suppose my point is that there will always be a need for monthly costs, so trying to be free of the stress of a monthly cost -a time cost- is overly emotional in my view.

I agree, but I think something the hn crowd misses is that a huge chunk of young people are invested in something like your Reddit bubble, or at least that's true with the mostly trans/queer twentysomethings of Seattle that I hang out with.

It's hard to ignore the tread that the younger a group is, the more being too online is just the default. You can't opt-out of the reality distorting effects of algorithmic content consumption when it is replicated by everyone you meet at school. This problem is especially bad with sex and gender relationships because of how well those topics perform on social media.

Its a depressing time to be a kid, and even more so to be a teenager. I think nerds (like you), queer people (like me and the author), and other terminally online people are canaries in the coal mine for what will become the new normal.
Show HN: An infinite canvas notetaking app like OneNote with Markdown support
by dolphin137 | 2025-11-28 19:29:37+00:00
Hey HN, I'm Oskar.

I used OneNote extensively for university and found the infinite canvas quite useful, but I ran into limitations, mainly around structure, technical workflows, and embedding capabilities. I ended up building something that fits my needs more closely: Notanic, an infinite-canvas note-taking application with a focus on technical use cases.

Features:

- real-time multiuser editing - native Markdown blocks (including code blocks) - precise sketching and graphing tools with measurements - unlimited hierarchical page nesting - embeds for Desmos, CodePen, GitHub gist, etc. - local-only usage or optional cloud sync

It’s aimed at technical notes, architecture diagrams, math work, visual problem-solving, and mind-mapping.

Available for free on desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux, unlike Onenote :( ) and also as a web app with cloud sync.

Feedback is welcome. You can reach me at: krae0sk_765@outlook.de

Beginning with:

"Most of us have the distinct pleasure of going throughout our lives bereft of the physical presence of those who rule over us. Were we peasants instead of spreadsheet jockeys, warehouse workers, and baristas, we would toil in our fields in the shadow of some overbearing castle from which the lord or his steward would ride down on his thunderous charger demanding our fealty and our tithes."

This is gutturally revolting to me. The insinuation here is that the average person is a passenger in their own lives, without free will.

You don't come out of the womb and someone puts a stamp on your head saying "Barista! Paperboy! Grocery bagger!"

Barring considerable physical/mental disabilities, or personal choices like deciding to have kid(s) that you're financially responsible for at a young age with no money, I'd make the argument that most people can become millionaires.

Of course I do? Across all my utilitarian devices, e.g. phone, desktop, laptop, I already find updates to be a large net negative except for the vague and nebulus 'security'. If a car 'needs' updates then it isn't doing its job.

I can't imagine the expletives that'll come out of my mouth the day I'm running late for a meeting and my car won't start because its in the middle of an update.

In my app the best lexical search approaches completely broke my agent. For my rag system the llm would on average take 2.1 lexical searches to get the results it needed. Which wasn’t terrible but it meant sometimes it needed up to 5 searches to find it which blew up user latency. Now that I have a hybrid semantic search + lexical search it only requires 1.1 searches per result.

The GDP number is an example of "all models are wrong, some are useful". You'll inevitably oversimplify at least _something_ if you try to boil down the economy to a single number.

GDP is still useful. I don't think there are examples of countries that had drops in GDP without being in deep trouble. It exploits the fact that economies [almost] never change quickly, so when you're looking at just one country, the GDP is a reasonable indicator of the overall state.

Where the GDP sucks is when people try to compare the _rates_ of GDP growth between countries.

In your spreadsheet , you have to include what is expected appreciation on the house, what is the mortgage interest rate, how much longer you have on that mortgage, your personal opinion on how well QQQ is going to do, how much you’re gonna want cash - your emergency fund for a rainy day, should be some N months of living expenses. Mix that all up in the spreadsheet, and come up with whatever feels good to you. There is no right answer, and my time machine isn't any better than yours, or anyone else's.

It's Ireland. Europe generally has higher expectations of the behavior of companies. The 'unapologetic and robotic' style of communication is very American. It literally costs nothing to be a bit kinder. They spend a fortune building their image as a great place to work then nuke it when the going gets tough.

Not that anyone should believe all that 'we're a family' garbage anyway, for any company.

A lot of good contributors to Lobsters have been banned for poltical reasons. Lobsters (laudably) has a moderation log that shows the reasons for user bans among other moderator decisions, but typically when when a good contributor is banned for poltical reasons (as opposed to e.g. a spammer), the actual posts that made the moderators decide to ban have been removed and replaced with a moderator message pithily asserting that the post was offensive; so it's hard for someone to see exactly what the last straw posts were and decide how reasonable the moderator was being.

And the moderators and most of the remaining userbase of Lobsters are American political left-progressives, and this dramatically informs how they choose to moderate.

Hollywood has always sold out artistic integrity. That's not new. What's new is the massive size and profitability of the superhero and teen action/adventure genres. Hollywood has found a product segment that pays, and it doesn't happen to have any sex in it.

Some long-form big-budget TV series, such as "Game of Thrones", do, of course, have good sex scenes. It seems to be accepted in that format. Long-form TV doesn't work like Hollywood. Movies have directors, but series have showrunners. The US tradition is that showrunners are writers, not directors. That seems to have an effect on content.

If Cardinal Richelieu had today's tracking, he'd be on another level. As would the Soviet Union - imagine being able to crush opposition in the satellites without any violence. Heck, no need to imagine - Russia already does that today. Simply put, with today's social media tech, backed by today's code, there would be no Walesa, no Nagy, no Soviet dissolution, nothing.
