> I stopped short of calling it bad faith, only saying that it "borders" on it.

I deny a difference in effect. And you said pretending. I know no relevant definitions of pretending and bad faith which pretending would include and bad faith would exclude.

> ignoring the circumstances entirely

No. They weighed some circumstances less and some circumstances more than you.

> It borders on bad faith in the same way that "the golden state killer is a killer, but so was Obama" (because he was the commander in chief of the US military) is bad faith.

Obama ordered people killed. Some people believed the commander in chief of the US military lacked legal authority to order some of those killings. Some people believed the commander in chief of the US military lacked moral authority to order some of those killings. Some people believed the commander in chief of the US military lacked moral authority to order any of those killings. All were good faith beliefs.

Clausewitz said war is the continuation of politics by other means. Obama's killings were a continuation of politics. The Golden State killer's were not.

It's clear that you have a hobby that you enjoy. I was always annoyed that I had to buy a new single, LP, or CD. It was one more thing that I had to keep organized. Cleaning LPs to remove dust before playing was irritating. And then having an album that you loved get worse and worse with each replay. Another personal quirk is that I don't like listening to music from my past. I want to constantly find new things to listen to across all genres. I love music. It plays a big role in my life, but I want to get the new.

Thats only a minor subset of our thoughts. If you were going hiking what kind of thoughts would you have? "There are trees there", "Its raining I should get cover", "I can hide in the bushes", "Im not sure if I cna climb over this or not". "There is x on the left and y on the right", "the wind went away" etc etc etc etc.

The origins of human language were no doubt communicating such simple thoughts and not about your deep inner psyche and the complexities of the 21st century.

There's actually quite a bit of evidence that all language, even complex words, are rooted in spatial relationships.

Call me boring, but for almost 20 years, my music library has been simply a NFS share on a generic PC host running Debian. I've never seen a need to complicate it further with iTunes-this and Jelly-that and Plex and radarr and sonarr and all the blah, blah, blah modern new software that keeps coming out to solve problems I don't seem to ever have.

It's true that care still needs to be taken. Many people in C are critical of strict aliasing (Linus as a major example) while not being too worried about the dangers when punning. Strict aliasing adds additional things you need to worry about on top of the representation issues. It's a worry you have in C (unless you use a flag and write non-standards conforming code) that you don't have in Rust.

Ok, so Brave Browser exists - if you download, you will see 0 ads on the internet, I've never really seen ads on the internet - even in the before brave times.

Fr tho, no ads - I'm not making money off them, I've got no invite code for you, I'm a human - I just don't get it. I've probably told 500 people about Brave, I don't know any that ever tried it.

I don't ever know what to say. You're not wrong, as long as you never try to do something else.

Anything and everything to distract from Epstein. It is getting more frantic and destructive as information not sealed in a vault by DOJ leaks out. A prince has already fallen. The blackmail empire was/is too big to hide from sight. AFAICT, no blackmail victims have been freed with Epstein's demise.

The distraction machine has no consistent underlying goal other than the distraction itself. It's Canada, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago. No SNAP, half a SNAP, destruction of the East Wing.

And the icing on the cake is this statement from 2018: [0]

> "Trump: We don't want to be the policemen of the world" BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18

> President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

> “We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

> “We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority ... "

I would love to use tmux. I have used yazi in the past and I really liked it but I was barely using it to its fullest potential.

I think I have "skill issue" regarding tmux and I used to use hyprland (recently went to niri) and I just always preferred opening up another terminal I used to use (which was foot back when I was using my own config and it was alacritty on cachy/ idk what was on omarchy for the time I was on omarchy but I don't like omarchy)

Is there actually a way to fix this skill issue, like I want something so simple in start that I just run it and forget and still get decent amount of benefits?

FWIW I tried replicating it and didn't get the same result. I end up with a failed conversion, exit code 69[0]. Same thing when I run with my installed version of ffmpeg.

But I think Google would still be concerned. Even if they're running ffmpeg in a sandbox you can escape sandboxes. The sandbox is a security layer, not what makes the thing safe. You should be using it as a layer of defense for unknown vulns, and try to resolve vulns. I mean Google is much more likely to have an attacker trying to chain a vuln with a sandbox escape than the average user.

Btw:

ffmpeg -codecs | cat | grep SANM 2&>/dev/null ffmpeg version n8.0 Copyright (c) 2000-2025 the FFmpeg developers ... ffmpeg flags ... D.V.L. sanm LucasArts SANM/SMUSH video

So my version does have that codec, as others are reporting.

That's one of Codex's few warts. At the same time, A strong self-estimation of one's abilities within context is ostensibly a feature and not a bug, and that the more self aware it is to the task, the better execution path it can create for that task. But practically, yes, I agree. It's very annoying. I run into the same issue.

Notable that on October 27th, the recent DJI drones became generally available in the US for the first time. Previously DJI just wasn't sending them here, but suddenly they have. Now instead of tarriffs being the maybe reason, it's the US forbidding this incredible consumer device. https://www.theverge.com/news/807292/djis-not-for-us-drones-...

Gusto bought Guideline, migrated Guideline customers who also use Gusto directly to Gusto, and everyone leftover from the acquisition is now being served by Guideline under the name Accrue401k. The Accrue401k (formerly Guideline) dashboard is exactly the same, just a different name. And former Guideline customers who use Gusto for payroll now use Gusto 401k.

That’s my understanding at least.

Gusto basically acquired their mutual customers, seemingly.

Interesting. Here's some UI feedback:

There seems to be a thermometer and a waveform display that are half synchronized; clicking in the thermometer moves the cursor in the waveform but clicking in the waveform doesn't adjust the thermometer. This was annoying and confusing.

Also, the thermometer has labels on both ends so it doesn't line up with the cursor in the waveform. Please move the labels to be above the thermometer so everything lines up.

Maybe it's just me but I would find it more intuitive if the current notes were in the middle of the window (rather than at the extreme left). For the most part, the keyboard will be lit up in the middle of the screen. don't make my eyes bounce around.

Yeah, disappearing songs (or content in general) is the part that I HATE about streaming. I'm happy to pay for the service, but unhappy to have content yanked at any moment. Especially with songs I used to love, it's like having part of my identity erased against my will.

If anyone has any tips on how to "back up" a Spotify account (and systematically detect yanked content) I would love to hear them.

come on, couldn't opt for gender neutral pronouns? Just had the help identify the person huh. Of those who were involved with treatment, i imagine an already small number, leaking gender and details of what was shared and the scope of their specific involment may cut it down to a very small number of plausible people, if not the exact person.

Nah, the main thing is that electric motors are already far better than they need to be -- even assuming the claims are all true, it would only make a small difference.

Shaving a couple percent off the total vehicle weight would still be a very good thing, but improving batter energy density by 10% or so would be a bigger deal for most EVs.

There might be some niche applications where the battery weight isn't the biggest issue -- like very short-range, light-weight vehicles that need to have enormous amounts of power for some reason.

I could see motors like this being used in power tools if they can be scaled down. A light-weight plug-in electric chainsaw would be pretty awesome.

Hey, fresh startup here. We use Gusto and selected Guideline out of the two options presented, mostly because we have a ton of things we're focused on. Always had a feeling it was a scam, but didn't have time to really dig into it (we're also pretty small at the moment)

What's the best way to transition to Fidelity / Vanguard? I assume Fidelity would be better for having a single entity to deal with rather than Fidelity for HSA and Vanguard for 401K?

In the UK a large-scale fire will often be attended by far more fire engines than the local water network can supply.

At the major Grenfell Tower fire, the water network could only supply ~4,320 litres per minute (1141 us gallons per minute) [1] despite firefighters asking the water suppliers to maximise the water supply.

And that fire was attended by seventy fire engines and two hundred and fifty firefighters, as they needed pretty much all the breathing apparatus in the city. So they had substantially more pump capacity than they had water available.

It doesn't particularly matter, but it looks to me as if there are a couple of errors in the fragment of transcript provided by the author.

It says "the regular exercise thereof" where the scan looks to me much more like "the regular course thereof".

And -- this one is smaller but gave me more trouble -- there's a misplaced comma: it should be after "thereof", not after "intercept". (The sentence structure is a bit weird even with the comma in the right place, but having it in the wrong place makes it even more confusing.)

I'm not quite old enough to have needed to use this while writing my own software. But I've come back to it repeatedly while learning enough about the operation of DOS PCs to try my hand at reverse-engineering some games. That was at least 10 years ago. (It became clear that I'd bitten off more than I could chew, so no full game RE, but I documented a couple more file formats, wrote some file viewers, and learned a lot).

Railway | Product Design, Customer Success Engineer, Product Eng (full stack)| REMOTE (Worldwide) | https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Railway?utm_source=DayMzWzJ0P

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

Three open roles (apply below!):

> I continue to pay for iTunes Match out of fear and lack of understanding of what would happen if I stopped.*

https://support.apple.com/en-us/118287, "Do you have an active subscription to Apple Music?"

"If you canceled your subscription to Apple Music or iTunes Match, your music library is removed on all of your devices except for the original computer where your music library is downloaded. Your iTunes purchases will remain in your Library on all devices. All music that you added or downloaded from the Apple Music catalog is removed. Any playlists added from the Apple Music catalog, created using music from the Apple Music catalog, or synced to a device using Sync Library are also removed."

So you cancel iTunes Match, your "cloud library" disappears. Meaning: Apple stops hosting your uploads and matches, but none of your local files are deleted.

If you ever want to turn it off, just make sure you've downloaded every song that shows as Matched or Uploaded so you’re not relying on Apple's copies. Then back them up somewhere outside your Apple Music or iTunes library folder to wherever you keep your full, DRM-free music collection.

Almost everyone I hear calling our AI hype machine a bubble aren't claiming AI is a short term fluke. They're saying the marketing doesn't match the reality. The companies don't have the revenue they need. The model performance is hitting the top of the S curve. Essentially, this is the first big wave - but it'll be a while before the sea level rises permanently.
Show HN:Cheaper Agentic API for Company Info from homepage (0.25$/call)
by sushanttripathy | 2025-11-04 00:41:24+00:00
We developed this solution after a B2B client ran into issues deploying production AI agents to speed up their customers’ onboarding.

Their UX: a customer enters their company homepage URL, and the agent autofills key fields (logo URL, case study URLs, etc.) to reduce manual form-filling and drop-offs.

The first version used ChatGPT and Claude in a relatively simple agent workflow. Once they started correcting frequent mistakes in critical fields (especially company logo URL and case study URLs), the system got more complex: • de novo crawling of the homepage URL • cross-checking every LLM response • multiple LLM calls per onboarding

Tokens per API call skyrocketed, pushing costs to about $0.80–$2.00 per call at ~1,000 queries/day, which wasn’t sustainable.

Our solution uses a combination of smaller language models running locally that consume outputs from pre-validated code snippets (for extracting URLs and other company details). A “reasoning” LLM selects which snippets to run at inference time based on the homepage content. This keeps most of the heavy lifting in deterministic code, with the LLM mainly orchestrating.

On a small initial test set of 30 URLs from the client, we returned accurate field values for 27/30. The workflow is noticeably faster end-to-end, and we charge a flat $0.25 per call (including crawling + extraction). The agentic workflow is exposed via a WebSocket interface (JSON in/out). You can see it in action here, along with a free tester API key in the notebook: Google Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AkLpL6IQoMDt6-aJwhT...

I’d love feedback, especially on: • obvious failure modes we’re not accounting for • fields you’d expect beyond those in the colab • whether per-call pricing vs. per-token pricing makes sense If you want to try this in your own onboarding stack or have ideas for features, you can reach us at contactus@skymel.com.

I recently had to select a 401(k) plan for our small startup. For a startup, the _employee_ fees was significantly better on Guideline (0.15 - 0.3%) than Fidelity (0.5% + $100 bookkeeping fee). The _employer_ fees were slightly more expensive with Guideline ($1,778 on Enterprise plan for Guideline vs $1,200 for Fidelity) but offered more features.

Important for founders in the US to know: you can put up to $70k annually into your 401k using profit sharing, which only some 401k plans offer. Your startup does not need to be making a profit to do 401k profit sharing. Employees may also be able to negotiate this!

> If you reduce the weight of a component, the battery can become (slightly) smaller

Suppose we have a motor that weighs half as much, but produces double the output power, but consumes 4x the input power (so, it is half as efficient).

How would that lead to a smaller battery?

Wouldn't we need the component to use less power if we wanted to shrink the battery, rather than just weigh less?

It would be great to see this for each culture around the world, identifying the named colours from their language / culture.

I saw a BBC? documentary about this years ago and it showed how some cultures had the ability to clearly identify different colours where I couldn't see any difference.

It turns out that knowing subtle differences in colours can have a strong impact on your daily life, so cultures pick unique parts of the colour spectrum to assign names to.

Those other places don’t have frequent posts and thoughts from some of the most influential, intelligent and frankly powerful people in US tech.

These are precisely the people who need to be talking about the fires, how to prevent them, put them out and make sure as hell they don’t spread to other countries.

But no, making money in the AI bubble is more important than preserving democracy here.

I know what you mean, it can seem like laziness, especially for those observers who grew up in an environment decades ago when it was more of a sure sign.

How old are you? I'm closer to 70 than 65 any more, but I do see some resemblance to the 1970's when so many young people had to face the fact that no matter how much they worked, they weren't going to get ahead.

This is when the American dream of owning a home was killed for me.

And millions of others for whom it never came back into reach.

I can't say it didn't bother me.

But if I did say it didn't bother me there would be those who believe that was why I went ahead and worked more hours than most. Plenty of overtime and 12-hour days, right alongside other employees who didn't want to work that much, but I always figured that was par for the course. I didn't let that bother me and I think it was more harmonious because people knew I was not trying to get ahead of them, only trying to regain what I would have had if the recession had not gotten so much worse.

It's nothing new at all. I knew earlier than most that I would never be able to afford to live in my own hometown as a breadwinner without some extraordinary windfall.

I wouldn't be surprised if ambition for other things in life besides "money that doesn't buy anything anymore" has "crept" into retail at the $40 level this quickly.

I wouldn't have expected it yet, but I take your expertise at face value.

Add it to the growing pile of negative economic datapoints :(
