As an American with a foreign-spouse who went through the green card application long before Trump, these stories are heart-breaking but also what I expected. I guess these couples and lawyers were just counting on lax enforcement? But this was never allowed.

The article is very light on details, but implies all of these spouses travelled to the US on a visa waiver (or similar) and then applied for a green card. Entering the US on most visas includes the assertion that you have no intent to immigrate. If you happen to already be in the US when you fall in love, get married, and apply to stay, that's when you're allowed to overstay during your pending application.

As far as I can tell from the article, it appears all of these people committed immigration fraud by entering on non-immigrant visas with clear intent to immigrate. Given that they're almost certainly upstanding people who intended to do the right thing, I think they could safely be asked to leave and apply correctly without the forceful detention, but they are technically in the wrong. What they did is specifically something I knew not to do and went through great pains to avoid.

The immigration processes for legitimate foreign spouses are Kafkaesque and absolutely need to be overhauled. It shouldn't be easier to come in illegally than through legitimate marriage. But in the meantime, people also can't circumvent the existing laws and then act flabbergasted when called on it.

I really do feel terrible for these couples caught up in it, especially since it seems their lawyers misled them.

Yes. That upgrade narrative worked a for quite a long time as things were evolving, but these days we're at a hot garbage consumerism stage. And we know it.

Apple: Wow yet another new iPhone! How do we do it? Apple Intelligence!! Are you buying 2 or 3 today?!

Consumer: None for me, thanks.

This is one of the most painful things about the modern corporate web. Why does everything _have_ to get worse? Just why? Fucking up the basic functionality of your central app just cannot be a profit driven decision but it seems like literally every single giant corporation is constantly moving towards destroying their own systems. I just don't understand. Even windows is destroying itself. I simply cannot remember the last time i got an "update" for any single thing and it got better. Why is this happening?

> Good to see this being discussed. The tech still reflects the biases in its training data, and that’s a real issue for creative work. What would help is more concrete examples of failure cases and what actually works to reduce them in practice.

What bias in the training data do you have in mind? Think about the top labs - what biases do you imagine them having in a big enough way that in meaningfully tilts the models in a bad way?

And then bringing it to the user; do you want everyone to think the same way by flattening the range of thought that is permissible and that the AI system would engage with? That seems awfully oppressive.

> dmpwn

Kinda horrible to see that the 4chan bigots use the same strategy to try to discredit drew devault, and implying things of ownership through their own created fake accounts and smearing campaigns. Pretty much all allegations on that page are circumstantial evidence, especially the bot ownership parts that sircmpwn even took down while citing those bigots using it to scrape child porn.

And then the dude of dmpwn posting things on image boards with the tag dmpwn, and forgetting to remove that from screenshots? lol, really?

Having experienced the same kind of doxxing attempts by 4chan bigots, /pol/ and kiwifarms, I think I am qualified to comment on how they operate.

Maybe someone needs to summon the Antichrist a second time to thin out the herd, huh?

I think implying that the DRAM makers are nefarious is nuts. What would you do in their shoes?

You have to think about what’s happening in the context that its 2025. The US is different… there is no functional financial regulator. The CEO of OpenAI is trying to corner the market and be too big to fail. We’re seeing crazy stock swings with Oracle (whose CEO quit after the September stock event), AMD, Intel, etc. Much of the action is fueled by the circular relationships with OpenAI. Add the drama of malevolent players like Elon & POTUS.

If you’re the CEO of Micron, you’re in a tough spot. You have constrained capacity, delays in your new fab buildout that puts it out of play, and a market that is lucrative, but may be a massive Enron type event.

The people making the shovels need to hold tight. There’s no reason to collude. The smart move is to keep on trucking.

I agree, inertia (and comfort) is a big reason React continues to be used. I use React for personal projects too, partly because it’s what I use at work. When I first started as a developer, I tried to use the same stack for side projects to build my skills. Over time it’s become more of a “comfort stack” — and I’ve built a lot of reusable components around it.

Just `tcpdump -i awdl0` while Airdrop-ing to a Mac to observe it's still using AWDL. (unless the interface named awdl0 is actually using WiFi Aware...)

Another fun thing to do: `ping6 ff02::1%awdl0`. Pings all nearby Apple devices with AWDL active. Including things like your neighbor's phone that's not even on your local network. (but addresses rotate I believe so can't track persistently)

You can read the abstract and see that they absolutely went looking for a pattern. They found some mild correlation and then they went looking for a bigger pattern. They didn't look for the opposite they didn't look for the exceptions they didn't look for the outliers. They did not rigorously investigate correlation and causation.

You only need to look through lots of medical research that has shown all kinds of things that have been routinely debunked. Many of which were done by prominent people in their day. This is simply an excuse to find a medical reason for ideologies you disagree with. That always ends badly for everyone.

Thank you! I was struggling to articulate why AI generated PRs annoy me so much and this is exactly it.

Sometimes someone's wrong and it's clear it's not gonna be worth anyone's time to thoughtfully engage with that the user. I know the guidelines say to go with the strongest interpretation of a comment, but when the comment is if the level of "Wake up sheeple, 911 was an inside job!!1!" I'm sorry, but that gets a drive-by downvote from me.

While I personally find no objection to these spouses remaining here, I don't see what is really supposed to concern me from a legal perspective. There is no right to residency of migration in general. I do agree we ought to change the law to be make it easier for spouses of citizens, but if you overstay a visa you should expect detention.

However from a moral standpoint I find the infant child separation abhorrent and think that we should generally defer to American citizen spouses as a pretty good indicator that we should show some mercy in enforcement. Moreover, the law should be changed that foreign spouses without criminal records and not taking public benefit ought to be allowed to stay and work honestly. Make it easy.

Hey HN! I built an explorer for all NeurIPS 2025 Main Conference and workshop papers with reviews, scores, and code links.

But the unique feature: AI-generated "explainers" that break down complex papers with interactive visualizations. Example: https://neurips2025.pages.dev/explainers/linear_attention/

It explains why attention is hard to optimize, shows the math with interactive demos, and includes critical analysis of limitations.

The explainers are generated using Gemini3 to parse papers and create:

- Interactive visualizations

- Step-by-step mathematical walkthroughs

- Critical analysis sections

- "What would convince me?" sections

Tech stack: OpenReview API, Gemini API for explainer generation, static hosting on Cloudflare Pages for speed.

I'm planning to generate explainers for more papers based on what people find interesting, so any feedback would be amazing

Not only France. As was always predicted to happen, governments are finding the allure of classifying undesirable organisations as terrorists too hard to resist. The UK with Palestine Action, the USA with the Muslim Brotherhood [0].

We need to repeal the War Against Terror acts that allow this to happen.

I'm not a biochemist, so I can't say with any authority, but presumably its to do with the 3rd antagonist and its impact on glucagon. Most of what I have heard is through Reddit communities for the on-market drugs (1st and 2nd gen peptides). The anecdotes from Retatrutide sound like it has way less impact on appetite and for some people that's actually a downside even though the weight loss effects appears to be significantly more powerful.

Clearly you have absolutely no idea how these experiments are developed. Everything you're stating is from a folk science POV. These are all controlled. There's a base used to compare the experimental evidence with, and data is used to prove the correlations. We have 40 years of proof of this statement alone: "Substantial evidence indicates that damage to the PFC can modify individuals’ belief systems."

I'd get a degree in science instead of pretending to understand neuroscientific testing.

I know plenty of SaaS companies that are paying tens of thousands of dollars every month for LLM optimization & AI visibility. Lots of marketing agencies that have been working hard on delivering paid ads & search engine optimizing are floating in a river of cash now because all these companies are panicking. So, yeah, fully agree that if OpenAI rolls out a halfway decent advertising option, advertisers will throw money at them.

I don't have a problem with laws targeting age. We have them in the physical world too.

I will have a problem with how this will get implemented. If it isn't done at the OS layer (iOS, Windows, Android, ChromeOS, Linux, etc.), then it's going to help companies like Meta so much. Imagine a viral app social media app that wants to compete with Instagram having to pay for millions of age verification services pre-revenue.

Meta would love this law if identify isn't at the OS layer.

But to determine its merit a maintainer must first donate their time and read through the PR.

LLMs reduce the effort to create a plausible PR down to virtually zero. Requiring a human to write the code is a good indicator that A. the PR has at least some technical merit and B. the human cares enough about the code to bother writing a PR in the first place.

As the other said already if you have more RAM you can have more cache.

Honestly it's not that needed but if you would really use the 10Gbit+ networking then 1 second is ~125Mbytes. So depending on your usage you can never even more than 15% utilization or have it almost all if you constantly running something on it ie torrents or using it a SAN/NAS for VM on some other machine.

But for a rare occasional home usage nor 32Gb nor this monstrosity and complexity doesn't make sense - just buy some 1-2 bay Synology and forget about it.

> Result declares a type-level invariant — an assertion enforced by the compiler, not runtime — that the operation can fail.

“Can do X” is not an invariant. “Will never do X” (or “Will always do Y”) is an invariant. “Can do X” is the absence of the invariant “Will never do X”.

> Using `.unwrap()` is always an example of a failure to accurately model your invariants in the type system.

No, using .unwrap() provides a narrower invariant to subsequent code by choosing to crash the process via a panic if the Result contains an Error.

It may be a poor choice in some circumstances, and it may be a result of mistakenly believing that code returning the Result itself had failed to represent its invariants fully such that the .unwrap() would be a noop—but even there it respects and narrows the invariant declared, it doesn't ignore it—and, in any case, as it has well-defined behavior in either of the possible input cases, it is silly to describe using it as a failure accurately model invariants in the type system.

Bellard has trained various models, so it may not be the specific 169M parameter LLM, but his Transformer-based `nncp` is indeed #1 on the "Large Text Compression Benchmark" [1], which correctly accounts for both the total size of compressed enwik9 + decompresser size (zipped).

There is no unfair advantage here. This was also achieved in the 2019-2021 period; it feels safe to say that Bellard could have likely pushed the frontier far further with modern compute/techniques.

The particular example he used was poor. GPS coordinates along the way of a ride are meaningful for ridesharing, because you need to know the route the driver took along the entire route from start to end. You also need to know where the driver is prior to a ride being started because you need to match a driver to a passenger, and location matters a lot for that. You also probably want to know the route updates during a ride so that you can match the driver against more passengers mid-ride (either for carpooling, or for chained rides).

Ideally you'd use both the passenger and driver data to ensure the driver's client isn't misleading you, in case you're paying by time and distance, and also to ensure the passenger's safety (are they actually taking the passenger somewhere else?).

Local law may require you to have a particular granularity for time/distance calculations.

The article's point still generally stands, though. You need to decide for yourself what data you're sending, and the frequency of what you're sending, and you're using the raw data to do so. How you choose this should be based on business need, not directly from raw data being produced.

Microsoft has been making it harder to run their proprietary python plugin in vscodium, which I was relying on to provide hints from pyright. That's something I didn't want to deal with, so I just jumped ship.

There are some things I miss from codium, and I still capitulate back when editing files with nonstandard indentation because zed doesn't yet have autodetect for that, and also its git-staging / diff-view isn't as good yet, but aside from those it's a mostly alright experience.

None of this means that you have to be on a specific platform. GitHub as default/mandatory is a single point of failure for the entire tech industry.

For an example of another language that avoids being entirely coupled into Github, Go has it's real code hosting and CI interaction on a Gerrit instance, with some sync back and forth to GitHub for a few items.

The CI pain and operational blindness mentioned in the Zig post is entirely real.
by notepad0x90 | 2025-11-27 04:21:23+00:00
You're right, I've been hearing lots of good things about Zig and I wanted to check it out but I'm glad I saw this post. I want no part of this thing.

I've heard people call other people "monkeys" before in a work setting. it's never good. Fact is, you don't need to call anyone names or insult them.

The takeaway for me is that the Zig project is led by people who are extremely immature and toxic. I simply don't trust any decision these people make. If you can't bring yourself to respectfully disagree with other human beings, if you resort to calling names and insults targetted at developers because of bugs, then i don't trust you to not backdoor your own code, or do something harmful to those who rely on your work because of some drama, spat or activism.

Even if actual political activists did this it would be unacceptable. If you called Netanyahu a monkey because of his Gaza genocide, most people who are pro-palestine will try to cancel you! Not because they think highly of him, but because it hurts the cause more than it helps.

Andrew: It seems you don't respect your own self or your community enough to set an example of decorum and civility. You've made Zig a platform for your own personal shitposting. Please do better!

I don’t think there’s any strict reason they can’t from their contract. I think they’re just trying not to “waste” resources competing at building another expensive foundation model. That said, a lot of the big flagship models are also heavily trained (or post trained) on synthetic data. Microsoft has done a lot of application-specific fine tuning research.

This model in particular makes sense to be synthetic though. It’s explicitly trained to control a computer, and I doubt there’s a large enough amount of public training data on this use case.

I suspect that Chinese models are largely forced to open source as a trust building step because of general China-phobia in the west. There’s tons of stellar LLMs available from major US companies if you’re just using an API. It’s also a convenient marketing and differentiation opportunity. Some of the companies behind the bigger “agentic” models have started to offer a cheap subscription alternative to US companies. If they build up a big enough business I wouldn’t be surprised if they stop open sourcing right away.

> But after this websites seem to work better.

quite likely that the site has a mobile "mode" and a small-screen mode (for desktop), each made by different teams. some mobile mode website is fine, but others suck. Where as the small-screen mode for desktop tend to be made by the same team/person as the main site (it's a css media query after all) - so it's likely to be more coherent.

>Now try to follow your own sources, both links for that sentence call it a code editor with MS doing the correct reverence " happy with using a regular code editor like Sublime Text instead of a full IDE like Visual Studio."

People call applications apps, and before that they called applications programs. VSCode is called an IDE. My link calls it an IDE. Some people call it a code editor. Some people call emacs and vim IDEs. VSCode does everything an IDE does, including compiling, debugging, and profiling.

>So try to make an actual argument/use a proper source for one instead of treating wikis as the ultimate truth

Just because you don't like it being called an IDE doesn't mean it isn't an actual argument.

Regardless, you haven't and can't attack my central point. The only one I care about, in fact: that the user can feel the vast difference in quality of VSCode vs. Explorer, and can tell that it's made competently vs. incompetently.

I also said nothing about how long it takes to start up--you brought that up. I called it "polished, fast, intelligent UI, not buggy, [and it] consistently improves," all of which are true. All of which you've ignored.

>You're, you are responding to a point about very slow startup time

I'm responding to someone who doesn't understand my argument, and probably doesn't want to.

The price, power, and size. Make it cheap, low power, and small enough for mobile. One way to do this is inference in 4, 2, 1 bit. Also GPUs are parallel, most tasks can be split on several GPUs. Just by adding they you can scale up to infinity. In theory. So datacenters aren't going anywhere, they will still dominate.

Another way is CPU+ + fast memory, like Apple does. It's limited but power efficient.

Looks like with ecosystem development we need the whole spectrum from big models+tools running on datacenters to smaller running locally, to even smaller on mobile devices and robots.

Built a NAS last winter using the same case. Temps for HDDs used to be in mid-50s C with no fan and about 40 with the stock fan. The case-native backplane thingamajig does not provide any sort of pwm control if the fan is plugged in, so it's either full blast or nothing. I swapped the fan for a Thermalright TL-B12 and the HDDs are now happily chugging along at about 37 with the fan barely perceptible. Hddfancontrol ramps it up based on the output of smartctl.

Case can actually fit a low-profile discrete GPU, there's about half height worth of space.

So much vague outrage over nothing. That CI system created by so called monkeys is the one of the best free CI service in the world. Not everyone has the millions of dollars like Zig Foundation to create their own CI servers.

After that they appreciate GitHub Sponsors, but say it is now a complete liability just because a project leader left. What are the actual changes? Any new rule? But no, it is now a "liability" and we should accept it.

Honestly speaking I like how big projects are exploring new hosting options. But there is no need to attack other platforms like this to promote your new host.

> ... from a small prize from a Russian internet forum.

The Valdai forum[1] is not "a small internet forum" but the most prominent event run by the Russian government to bring Western politicians, scholars and other notable figures to Russia, treat them like royalty, surround them with agents of influence, and manipulate them into adopting Russian propaganda narratives, which they then repeat in their essays and articles once they return home.

No meaningful discussion takes place there. You can assume that all organizers and domestic attendees are acting under FSB instructions. It is solely an operation by the security services to manipulate Western visitors and turn them into useful idiots. Thus, at least in Eastern Europe, where these tricks are well understood, anyone attending such events is automatically considered suspicious: they must be either utterly clueless or working for Russia. Mearsheimer, somehow, has fallen even deeper and started accepting money.

And it shows. You can look up on YouTube his attempt to debate the Polish foreign minister, completely misrepresenting certain diplomatic events, unaware that Sikorski had been there in person, leading an official delegation. How anyone can take such a buffoon seriously remains a mystery to me. To Russians, he has been one of their best investments. Tens of millions of people have been exposed, through him, to the ideas instilled in him at places like Valdai, believing them to be high-quality expertise from a reputable scholar, when in reality they are nothing more than laundered propaganda.
