Small doses. Never enough to disassociate. Only lots of LSD and 4-HO-DET ever did that to me.

The most striking memory with DMT was at night seeing a moonlight cloud full of skulls staring back down at me. I frequently saw skulls in any texture.

It was very long ago. Unfortunately the dealer was raided.

It left a noticable residue in the simplistic vape we had and a few subsequent uses still carried traces of it.

Sure, most of us stay in system 1 (heuristic) most of the time.

But I think it's wrong to assume most people are incapable of serious, thorough thinking. Parents around the world correctly dose medication for their kids all the time, and they mostly do this completely fine.

The key is that people are clever when they both can and want to, and some communication regarding drugs is not well-designed to alert them to want at the right time.

They said the same thing at Toyota when the unintended accel problem was in the news, but never found a real world example. There are a lot more old Toyotas still on the road than Airbuses in the air, so distance to the sun makes all the difference here? I wonder if they only see issues when flying near the north pole?

If possible for exact this plane, could make software update just as routine procedure.

But as I hear, air transporters could buy planes in different configurations, so for example, Emirates airlines, or Lufthansa always buy planes with all features included, but small Asian airlines could buy limited configuration (even without some safety indicators).

So for Emirates or Lufthansa, will need one empty flight to home airport, but for small airline will need to flight to some large maintenance base (or to factory base) and wait in queue there (you could find in internet images of Boeing factory base with lot of grounded 737-MAXes few years ago).

So for Emirates or Lufthansa will be minimal impact to flights (just like replacement of bus), but for small airlines things could be much worse.

> This is why Meta and Google went all in on AI.

Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon, among others, would have zero issues in ensuring that OpenAI does not grab a market they own; it shouldn't be that hard to bring OpenAI into a position where they cannot recoup their investments, hence going bankrupt.

The big players then would also have the benefit of having those very bright minds being on the market for them to grab. And it's not like OpenAI owns much relevant hardware.

Let's see where we are in 3-4 years.

> Gemini is a competitor, yes. But most people still go to Google at this point, even if there are a ton of competitors.

Yeah, that's my point. If Google is good enough I don't think people are going to want to do those extra steps, just as in your google maps example. There might be better services out there, but google maps are just too convenient.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think all of these are solved problems.

LGPL should only pose a problem if you explicitly want your program to be used with non-free software. And then only if said non-free software doesn't give you a way to rebuild it yourself, should you want to modify the LGPL program. (So not a problem for open-core or public-source projects, either.)

If, for some reason, you insist on allowing static linking for all the projects, I think the MPL allows this. (People often seem to think of the LGPL, but it's not the only weak-copyleft licence around.)

Otherwise, when releasing your project under GPLv3+, you don't have to put blind faith into the FSF; you can designate a proxy which will decide whether the new version should be allowed for your project or not. This proxy can be yourself, or it can be a different organisation you choose to trust. Plus, I'm pretty sure the GPL allows you to make linking exceptions of your liking.

Sam is a habitual liar so I wouldn’t take anything he says seriously.

LLMs are a commodity, once they put in ads people will increasingly move to the other options. It works for Google because they have a moat, OpenAI does not.

There’s a reason they didn’t do this earlier. It’s going to piss people off and they’ll lose a lot of users.
by wayeq | 2025-11-29 15:46:33+00:00
> So they’ll need to tread very, very carefully to introduce it without alienating customers.

I'm certain the ads will be introduced in an easily identifiable and ignorable way. People will acclimate, user behavior will be analyzed, and over time the dial will ever so slowly be turned up to optimize for draining as much attention and money from the consumer as possible.

Respirators can't do anything about volatile components that have low boiling points: sulfur and nitrogen oxides, hundreds of often carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons released by burning any organic matter. If you wear a good FFP3 respirator in heavily polluted air, it's very noticeable that it doesn't filter out everything — the smell gets through. And it's a specific smell, reminds me of walking through charred ruins of a building that has burned down 5-10 years ago and never rebuilt.

I feel like this is an inside view from the BPO community and the only part of AI they see is the part that affects BPO. But for most businesses AI strategy is not about AI for internal use but AI to either improve customer funnels or launch new products. Most of the companies I've talked to in the past year wanted a strategy for customer facing AI not internal AI.

Rhapsody DR2 is not a solution for classic Mac OS on x86. Lunduke writes:

"Unfortunately [the Blue Box] was only available on PowerPC versions of Rhapsody"

Another option is Advanced Mac Substitute. It doesn't run everything, but what it does run it runs really well. One of my goals is that you can use a 68K Mac application (e.g. MacPaint) as part of your personal computing workflow, if you wish.

>> I take this as an oblique critique of TFA's choice of license. What's it to you? Why must we all use the GPL always in order to satisfy busybodies?

Thank you for reading it correctly. I originally had a </sarcasm> to make sure nobody thought I liked the license choice. What's it to me? Well someone posted it to HN here so we could comment on it, so I did.

I think the MIT license has its place, but IMHO it does not belong on an OS like that. Reason is indicated in my original comment.

I think there is one counter argument, LLMs are speeding up everything, including the speed of learning, which also implies that companies that might have bad processes would learn and move to good processes as well on the way.

Example, one of many things, in our SDLC process, now we have test cases and documentation which never existed before (coming from a startup).

And that's fine, this site has rules and the mods follow those rules. I am free to say things but I am not guaranteed a platform to say them on. My usage of the term is just as inaccurate as your usage of "freedom of association." The difference is that I am aware of that and was seeing if you'd bite which you did. Accuracy clearly only matters to you as a way to discredit others but not as a pillar of your own arguments.

every single platform since the 1990's has introduced ads. My kids find it totally normal to have them. Believe me, if you train (!) people to accept ads, they will soon think it's normal.

And besides, if ChatGPT goes with ads, Google will follow directly. So the users won't have the choice anymore.

But ok, if I have to pay for a service without ads, then let it be. Paying for a service is normal too.

In some cases, it is exactly the case of multiple independent actuators, such that the "voting" is effectively performed by the physical mechanism of the control surface.

In other cases all of the subsystems implement the comparison logic and "vote themselves out" if their outputs diverge from the others. A lot of aircraft control systems are structured more as primary/secondary/backup where there is a defined order of reversion in case of disagreement, rather than voting between equals.

But, more generally, it is very hard to eliminate all possible single points of failure in complex control systems, and there are many cases of previously unknown failure points appearing years or decades into service. Any sort of multi-drop shared data bus is very vulnerable to common failures, and this is a big part of the switch to ethernet-derived switched avionics systems (e.g. Afdx) from older multi-drop serial busses.

oh, it's illegal where I live. But some people pretty clearly ignore that. Enforcement doesn't seem to be a thing. I think this is one of those laws that falls into the category of things that we just have to rely on people's good will to carry out. Like small-time littering and not cleaning up after your dog, some people just don't seem to care.

FWIW, I think - based on not feeling my throat close up most of the time - that the number of people who do this is small.

Honestly, I don't know if throwing people at a problem is the way to go. Doubly so given that a good chunk of the projects lately for me deal with third party vendors and those are so .. embedded that even getting basic requirements, documentation is an uphill battle ( which -- to me -- seems insane ). I have zero pull so I do what I can, notate the insanity for cya and move on.

I do agree on execs congratulating themselves afterwards though. It was obscene last year. This year it was mildly muted.

The current dynamic IS based on the new gestapo thinking they're "rising up and overthrowing a violent government", due to a propaganda bubble thirty years in the making. Where do you think "ICE" is getting all of these new recruits from? The red state militias that have been seething about the slow creep of bureaucratic authoritarianism, now deputized and told they get to use their weapons to attack the other tribe. Which is also why said militias are silent now that it's actually time to defend our country from fascists - they are the fascists. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

Thanks for the interest! I needed more control over the echo cancel stage than existing bindings gave me and also I had quite the trouble compiling them for different platforms, so I ended up re-implementing the aec3 logic directly. The reason to why rust specifically, is that I quite like it (easy cross compilation as well).

This was built for essentially a VOIP (adjacent) project that overlays an transcription model to listen to your mic + audio from your computer and provide transcripts.

I don't think this makes a lot of sense because, if the password is quick and easy to type, it can probably be cracked by any such device in the time it takes for a single keystroke. A long and complex password might hold up okay, but for it to actually be secure, you would have to type in the whole password on a phone keyboard every single time you opened the app, which sounds like a terrible experience.

I think, if you were actually willing to do that, it would probably be about as convenient and at least as effective to leave the device powered off and rely on the device full disk encryption and hardware security to protect the data at rest, only powering it on occasionally to check or send messages, then immediately powering back off.

I agree that there is no right to arbitrarily block traffic for prayer. But this does not require a ban on public prayer, it requires a law saying that one must allow traffic to flow (which I suspect already exists), and a clarification that prayer is not an exception. Prayer need not be specifically targeted more than board games, or bike protests, or just parking in the middle of the street.

I tried Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Amazon was confusing, not intuitive and because of hidden dashboards i had a running service that cost me money that i did not know about.

Microsoft Azure was also very confusing and I don't think I was even able to use it because I had no clue how.

Google had the best dashboard and I never had issue with anything, despite it lacking in offering(back then).

In the end, I ditched all cloud providers and went to standard VPS providers because cloud is good to get you going when you might need elasticity for unknown growth. Buts after that, it makes no financial sense and is a huge vendor lock-in trap.

PS and no, companies that provide VPS hosting are not "cloud".

I've been hoping to see something like this, as finding or rediscovering images that I've archived has been a painful process for some years now.

Still, I've come to the conclusion that search alone - especially LLM-based search - isn't enough for these applications, because of its volatility. Human spatial localization relies on object permanence, so there needs to be some amount of durability baked into at least some of the functions of any application that involves us storing and retrieving desired objects and data.

I don't know precisely what that looks like, but I do know that, for example, whenever YouTube refreshes a recommended video list, I miss the days when those lists were largely fixed for days or weeks.

>My try has been to expose multiple (if not all) attributes for a resource directly to user and then letting user recursively refine query to get to desired result.

I do really like this part, though. I'd rather photos get tagged with as many (possibly erroneous) attributes as possible, and let me carve out what I'm really looking for, rather than missing the one I wanted because the system mistook a seesaw for a teeter-totter or something.

How many medium size migrations have you done? Its never that easy even if you are just hosting a bunch of VMs. Let alone if you are using any cloud specific services.

I have been involved in a few on the periphery working in cloud consulting (first at AWS itself and now an outside company). I actively avoid the “lift and shifts”. I come in for the “modernize” portion.

I experience(d) the same level of magic when I throw keywords into google and get relevant results back. LLMs are just an extension of this kind of magic.

Their efficacy opens up a lot more possibility, but given they’re not AGI (without getting into a definitions debate) a lot of the magic is gone. Nothing fundamentally changed. I still use them a lot and they’re great, but it’s not a new paradigm (which I would then call magic).

I think the key point here too is LLMs demo like magic. You see the happy path and you think we have AGI. You show me of 10 years ago the happy path and I’d be floored until I talked to me of now and got the whole story.

How so? It’s a safety measure at least as much as a security one.

It’s essentially a very intentional trade-off between groupthink and the wisdom of crowds, but it lands on a very different point on that scale than most other systems.

Arguably the track record of Airbus’s fly-by-wire does them some justice for that decision.

- More junk whizzing around Earth.

- Inaccessibility for maintenance.

- Power costs.

- Susceptibility to solar storms and cosmic rays.

Online ads simply do not have anywhere NEAR even value for OpenAi. And with each passing day, they become more and more worthless.

You're missing the forest here. Yes, Netflix has ads, but to do so they had to bring down the value of ALL ADVERTISING. The more ads consumers see, the less valuable each individual ad is. Because consumers are tired, and they only have so much money.

As of currently stands, online ads are very close to worthless. Again - nobody is going to tell you that, because they're trying to sell you ad space! But it's true. Just look at how the people around you behave.

Let's say I have a religion that, as part of practicing it, restricts my diet.

If I try to make you - a non-practitioner - eat that diet, then your reply makes sense. It's a personal matter; I don't get to force it on you or anyone else.

But if you try to remove the option of me being able to get food that fits my diet out in public? Don't try to justify that by saying "religion is a personal matter". That's an absurd rationale.

Well, that’s a pretty powerful capability.

I recently did a pilot project where we reduced the time for a high friction IT Request process from 4 day fulfillment to about 6 business hours. By “handing text and unstructured data”, the process was able to determine user intent, identify key areas of ambiguity that would delay the request, and eliminate the ambiguity based on data we have (90%) or by asking a yes/no question to someone.

All using GCP tools integrating with a service platform, our ERP and other data sources. Total time ~3 weeks, although we cheated because we understood both the problem and process.

So you think I should e-mail somebody out of the blue, bothering them personally, to complain about their personal web site? Do you think that most people would react well if they recieved such a message?

HN is a quote well-known community. It is very common that people read the discussion on HN when their project or themselves are featured. And if they are that interested in what others think, they would then likely see comments such as mine. And if they are not the type to want to read comments, they won’t see my comment and therefore not be bothered by it.

I am baffled when trying to imagine why you think this is “mean-spirited”. On the contrary, this is the most respectful way to offer a minor suggestion that I can think of.

> Also 20 billions of revenues, not profits, is orders of magnitude too low compared to their expenses.

Nah, it's just one order of magnitude...

Also, they expect revenue to grow exponentially so it's 20 billions annualized by the end of the year. Last time I saw somebody talk about it, it was about half of it, and trending down.

Anyway, if they manage to take ~20% of the ads revenue from Google, they will be able to cover ongoing depreciation! That's the amount of money they need.

AppImages are supposed to be able to handle all of that and I have used a number of them that do. In the case of Tauri though it seems nobody on the framework team knows Linux well enough to fix the build process to not constantly break as libraries update on the GitHub Ubuntu VMs or to make all the required dynamically linked libraries get included in the AppImage. And finally most of the downstream app developers have never written an app for Linux and chose the framework expecting it to solve the problems it clearly isn't.

Can verify some/most games using Easy Anti Cheat and all games using VAC run on Linux, using Proton.

But games using the likes of Vanguard (Riot), Javelin (EA) and Ricochet (Activision) which really mess around with your system on kernel level? Forget about it.

And maybe, just maybe, that's even good. These things are nasty and invasive, and due to how they are designed could be even used for exploits and gain low level access to your system.

Completely agree with you, I've traveled with my bike to many cities in Europe, the Netherlands in general has a fantastic bike infrastructure, not even sure why it's called "Copenhagenize" since I go to Copenhagen quite often and compared to Dutch's bike infrastructure it's still not on par to it. It's definitely great but the Dutch have it ahead.

You’re getting paid to make this call. If you think the business is going to judge you you’ve got a massive misunderstanding of what you’re paid for - or work in a role where what you do doesn’t really matter. Which leads me to my second point:

Many jobs are fake and the business output of them does not matter. You don’t get useful signals here and LLMs will be a paradigm shift to people with these jobs, because you can automate these jobs (because what they produce doesn’t matter).

I've done something similar in a React project I'm working on to avoid dealing with the insanity that is react-router.

Call me naïve, but routing in a single page application is just not that hard of a problem. At the core it's about having a piece of state¹ (your active route) which determines which part of the app you want to render–something you can do with a switch statement². On top of that, you want to synchronize that state to the page URL³.

Doing it yourself requires more boilerplate code, no question about it. But it's not that much code tbh (not very complex either), and you get back control over that important piece of state, which otherwise remains opaque and difficult to work with–i.e., its "shape" is pre-determined by the routing library you use. For example, react-router doesn't support parallel routes.
