Narcissism is a spectrum; everybody's a little narcissistic, and it changes over time. All kids are VERY narcissistic early on, most grow out of it as they experience unconditional love from their parents and are allowed to be their authentic selves in various social contexts.

For various reasons - some kids don't. Bullying can certainly contribute.

So they develop maladaptive strategies (which can look like the first few "stages" in this article) and have to undo the damage later in life (which can look like the later "stages" from the article) to have a chance to experience real human connection.

I think the article can be very beneficial for people who struggle with this, even if it doesn't explicitly mention what the technical name of the struggle is (and BTW it does not have to be NPD - there might be other reasons for people to have similar problems). Maybe even BECAUSE it doesn't mention narcissism (cause narcissism is currently villified on the social media as "they are actual demons that cannot be saved" - so people are very wary of identifying with it, which makes it less likely they will work on themselves).

BTW I'm very disappointed in the current fad on social media of villifying one mental health issue after another only to then come to realize "oh wait, they're actually people not monsters". I've seen it with BPD, now it's the NPD turn. It's usually done for ugly reasons, too (somebody hurt by a person with $mental_health_problem search for validation, so influencers jump in with feel-good validation that portrays the other side as demons).

Well you can get closer with custom build tools and tools to gut features. Ms is acutely aware of these third party efforts and they are working diligently to stop them from working in each release. They are not interested in making a prosumer release, but harvesting the customer. One of you is the matrix and the other is the human battery. I leave it to the reader to determine where they fall in those categories.

I spent the last year working 8–12 hour days (Over 2,080 hours) on these System Instructions that turn LLMs into the rigorous, paranoid senior engineers we developers need. Turns out we needed the The Scientific Method for LLMs! Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Llama 3.1, local models.

What's inside? Here's a peek: Tired of your AI marrying the first POSSIBLE hypothesis and fixating on it? This Protocol forces the LLM slow down, contemplate all possible hypotheses, stress test them, then formulate a plan for the most likely solution. Tired of debugging

A secret agent running in the background, with my data stolen from the foreground? How queer! I see the battlegrounds shift from large networks to the personal computer, where malware, hand in hand with AI will steal the virtual crown jewels day after day, slurping and leaking PII data non stop.

AI will be baked in so deep into the Windows eco- and subsystem, that it's a wet dream come true for hackers and nation state adversaries. It's a huge win for everyone selling hacking and security, virtual cops and robbers, black hats and white hats: only the end users and already piss poor facilities will suffer, but they're just collateral damage in a war of numbers and terabytes of leaks.

It probably also depends on where you are and how deep you need to drill. It seems to be working out for Munich in Germany, there are a couple of city districts (including mine) that are heated by geothermal, and they invested in this since the early 2000s. Can't really find an english page for the whole project though: https://www.swm.de/unternehmen/geothermie

Ah, the “guns kill people” argument that’s only uttered in the country that’s consistently ranked in the top 3 countries with the most gun related deaths.

You would have a point if your vision for a self regulating society included easily accessible mental healthcare, a great education system and economic safety nets.

But the “guns kill people” crowd generally rather sees the world burn.

It definitely doesn’t help sleep quality, but it could plausibly help with creativity in people who have the capacity to have good creative ideas. This is because it seems to produce a feeling that all (or at least more) of one’s ideas are good.

If someone has a problem with idea development because they decide early that the idea isn’t worth exploring, perhaps due to low self confidence in ideation etc, then simply producing the feeling of it being a good idea could help them go further than they would otherwise with it. Of course it also makes dumb ideas feel like good ideas too, so for someone who doesn’t have the capacity to have good creative ideas or who doesn’t have this problem in the first place, it probably won’t help.

Founder of TOMMY here. I'm glad you like the ESPHome support. It was one of the most requested features before implementation.

Regarding the lifetime license for Discord members, that's primarily to ensure that beta testers aren't being "used" for testing and then asked to pay. A lot of my users had stories about that with previous companies, and I wanted to give a promise that wasn't going to be the case here. And building a community where people help each other with device placement, hardware suggestions, etc. is a nice addition.

Anyway, I think this project is really cool, francescopace. Many have asked for TOMMY to be open-sourced, so that's definitely something you're going to have success with. I wish you all the best!

- Mike

Yep also a grok 3 supporter. I actually liked GPT-4 Turbo and Claude 3, and have found each successive update substantially more useless. Grok 3 came out and it was a bit of that original magic... but seems to have went the way of the other models.

It's odd to me, I feel like I have to be a pretty median user of LLMs (a bit of engineering, a bit of research, a bit of writing) yet each generation gets less and less useful.

I think they all focus way too much on finding a 'right' answer. I like LLMs for their ability to replicate divergent thinking. If I want a 'right' answer, I'm not going to even have an LLM in my toolbox :/

I admittedly never finished Tunic, but that does not seem to fit the refined metroidbrania criteria? While there are shortcuts that can be had with fore-knowledge, the game has quite a bit of traditional metroidvania in that you need utility item X to advance past y. While there are rules and systems to be discovered from the manual, the game is still a version of get the dynamite, to unlock the boomerang, to get the wand, to unlock the final door.

Outer Wilds is a much stronger fit for the category where the entire world is accessible from the start.

The Outsider by Colin Wilson validated a lot of the doubts I’ve had my entire life and showed me a courageous way forward embracing my nature.

This is a recommendation that applies to very few people but the misfits, the philosophers, the hermits, the compulsive thinkers. Those that feel they are meant to peer behind the veil of the world rather than dance to its tune.

I’m letting Claude Code review the code as part of a gitlab CI job. It adds inline comments (using curl and the http API, nightmare to get right as glab does not support this)

CC can also read the inline comments and creates fixes. Now thinking of adding an extra CI job that will address the review comments in a separate MR.

This is not good.

> We’ll compromise on almost everything else, but our one red line is this: Whatever we agree on, there has to be a future for Rebble in there.

I can see through to the good intentions, but this mindset has a very dangerous sandbagging risk to the other party.

Could you imagine a company forcing you to exclusively use them and only them as a vendor for the foreseeable future? Not just for a single contract, but for many contracts beyond it? Or one especially long contract?

That’s just not fair.

There are some other red flags here too. I am not convinced they have the ability to license a database they themselves scraped, nor if there’s any obligation to merge the particular code changes if any back upstream.

By far the most important advice in here — which isn’t given explicitly — is set yourself up to meet a lot of new people, because that’s how you learn. I worked in a pub a few nights a week, then I worked in a coaching org, then a bunch of new companies, then met lots of new people via the digital nomad community. You’ll get a little better with a bit of time, and with each new human.

Also stay the fuck off IRC.

> He had no way of continuing to support his customers without money.

I don't see how you could possibly know this. Personally, I highly doubt that there was no other possible exit that didn't do a better job of taking care of his customers and supported the community. HE could have open sourced stuff, made sure the app store was backed up, etc.

> the firmware is still open source

Oh, I guess since one thing nobody is complaining about is true, then all their other comlaints are moot.

The value here isn't in the source code, certaibly not in the additions made by a 5 man company. The value is the community that has kept itself alive while maintaining and creating the resources that are giving Core Devices any chance of success.

Nothing was stolen, but a lot of good will was lost.

Edit: I see you've substantially edited your comment without any note yet again.

Social media established a hustle culture in young men, cost of living forces people to work without taking vacation. The modern trend is 72 hour weeks in Silicon Valley corporations. Houses are speculation objects rather than affordable homes for families. In this society you have to teach children early on about how money works and how to keep jobs or you'll find them in a vicious cycle of trying to afford life. Giving up simply is not an option for many people anymore.

"OT" = Original Trilogy

Trying to find some context/background to understand the significance:

> As some of you may be aware, a few months ago it was leaked that Disney were restoring the theatrical cuts of the OT. Basically, a malfunctioning automatic upload script resulted in clips of an official restoration of the theatrical OT being publicly uploaded to YouTube. To my knowledge, the clips were meant to be saved to an unlisted playlist as a fallback for their internal file sharing system, but an error in the script made it so the videos were posted to a publicly viewable playlist which meant anyone could view/download them.

My friend sent me a copy of the leaks back in July, which consisted of some clips from all 3 films as well as internal documents. The clips blow the 4K UHD/Disney + version out of the water in terms of both detail and color. If you compare these screenshots to a project like 4K77 or Despecialized you can see that the YouTube clips have fine detail simply not available to fan projects, and that's with YouTube compression. The cropping and damage is also different, which shows these are not just doctored images from pre-existing fan projects, and are taken from higher quality sources.

I suppose that's true, in much the same way that chemotherapy treats the symptom of cells spontaneously deciding to replicate in your body. That does not mean we judge people battling a cancer diagnosis and tell them to pursue non-medicated approaches because it's "just treating symptoms".

If you encounter a bit of bitterness from the ADHD community online, let me provide some perspective: I have been called lazy my entire life, I have wondered why everybody could just do stuff and apply themselves. Why couldn't I just clean my house, do my homework, keep on top of chores, or even find the energy to play games after a day of work? I only found out as an adult I have a disability which makes all of that an uphill battle for me, INCLUDING finding the motivation for the fun stuff. There is an easy fix for this, some meds that take care of SOME of the problem. They don't fix it in much the same way that a wheelchair doesn't fix the legs of a crippled person, but it sure is like playing life on easy mode if you're used to dragging yourself around by your arms. And now I'm stuck explaining this to people who have done the barest minimum of research and who say 'oh it only is treating symptoms'. They have the audacity of calling me lazy (again!) for not training my arms more to overcome my disability that way. And my response is simple: You can take my metaphorical wheelchair over my dead body, and if you were in my position you would feel exactly the same way.

This analysis is based entirely on verifiable regulatory, financial and operational sources published between 2023–2025. It outlines where the gaming industry is structurally heading in 2026 according to evidence already enforced, disclosed or deployed — without forecasts or forward-looking assumptions.

Sources include: • Brazil Law 14,790/2023 (Ministry of Finance / SPA) • EU Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065) • Enforcement actions from NJDGE, NGCB and PGCB (2024–2025) • PitchBook funding datasets (2024–2025) • SEC 10-K / 10-Q filings from DraftKings, Caesars, MGM and Flutter • Reuters and Bloomberg reporting on M&A in identity, payments and fraud-tech

Across the evidence, three structural forces are already reshaping the industry: cross-border regulation, institutional capital reallocation and operational AI (risk engines, automated KYC/AML, behavioral analytics).

No predictions are included — only developments documented in public regulation, financial disclosures and infrastructure deployments.

Open to feedback from people working in fintech, policy, identity systems, AML/KYC and applied AI.

It's absolutely worth looking at how effective the charities you donate to really are. Some charities spend a lot of money on fundraising to raise more funds and then reward their management for raising to much funds with only a small amount being spent on actual help. Others are primarily known for their help.

Especially rich people's vanity foundations are mostly a channel for dodging taxes and channeling corruption.

I donate to a lot of different organisations, and I do check which do the most good. Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders are very effective and always worthy of your donation, for example. Others are more a matter of opinion. Greenpeace has long been the only NGO that can really take on giant corporations, but they've also made some missteps over the years. Some are focused on helping specific people, like specific orphans in poor countries. Does that address the general poverty and injustice in those countries? Maybe not, but it does make a real difference for somebody.

And if you only look at the numbers, it's easy to overlook the individuals. The homeless person on the street. Why are they homeless, when we are rich? What are we doing about that?

But ultimately, any charity that's actually done, is going to be more effective than holding off because you're not sure how optimal this is. By all means optimise how you spend it, but don't let doubts hold you back from doing good.
Show HN: Hirelens – AI Resume Analyzer for International Job Seekers
by hl_maker | 2025-11-18 07:07:11+00:00
Built https://hirelens.co — a simple resume analyzer for non-native English speakers. It gives an ATS-style match score, finds missing keywords, and suggests more natural, professional English. No sign-up, no storage.

Would love for folks to try it out and give feedback.

That would create an excessive amount of bridges in my case. Also this is another trivial suggestion that anyone can find with a quick search or asking an LLM. Not helpful.

I'm not sure why people are replying to my comment with solutioning and trivial suggestions. All I did was encourage the thread OP to publish their notes. FWIW I've already been through a lot of options for solving my issue, and I've settled on one for now.

There's always going to be excess supply at night, because demand is lower. At the moment the difference is large because battery capacity is low, but even as more batteries come online, it will stay lower because battery capacity will respond to the differential (since that's where the profit is). What's interesting is domestic battery installation is so cheap that you can capture almost all the benefits as a private buyer.

FWIW Good Energy are outside the price cap on their standard tariff as well. You don't have to do that many miles for the EV tariff to pay off without any additional storage.

Languages that compile to C (e.g. Nim) are great on older systems. If a system has a working C compiler (or cross-compiler), there’s a good chance that it’ll just work.

I’ve myself compiled Nim on Windows 7, Windows XP, and Haiku, and have run simple Nim programs on the C64 and GameBoy Advance.

I read the whole post and all the links.

Rebble's work is, as far as I can tell, entirely open source. The contents of the database are not, but those contents are predominantly a curation of other people's work, most of which is open source, along with some stats.

I'm having a hard time buying into this argument that any theft is actually occurring. Rebble can keep on doing their thing if they want. Core is free to use their open source (and relicense! but obviously they can't retroactively relicense the prior work, nor can they change the license in Rebble's repos).

To be perfectly honest this reads to me like the pot calling the kettle black.

The fact that any of this even exists -- Rebble, Core, the firmware OSS, the Pebble name again -- feels miraculous. More litigious lawyers could have squashed these things at numerous points.

I feel sorry for the Rebble folks that they feel they're getting the short end of all of this. But that's the beauty of it all, of Open Source.

I do hope that Core and Rebble can find a way to be more harmonious moving forward. And I hope everything continues to be Open Source.

I opened my outlook android app today to find they'd replaced the archive button in the bottom toolbar with a "Summary by Copilot" one. It wasn't enough that the only colourful button is the Copilot one on the right.

Thankfully they still let you reorder the buttons, so I moved archive back and hid that unwanted summary in the overflow menu.
by eurg | 2025-11-18 07:09:39+00:00
Unfortunate. I'll wait some days for the response, but it better be a good one.

This behavior from Core may be par for the course, but I can already buy watches from companies that have values only for marketing. It's a small niche, and being nice would not cost much.

And they already died once, without having a proper off-ramp for their users - for now I don't trust them to exist in another two years. (I'm not really sure they even are in this for the long term - talk is cheap.)

> C++ makes breaking changes all the time,

Please don't spread misinformation. Breaking changes are actually almost inexistent with C++. The last one was with the COW std::string and std::list ~15 years ago with the big and major switch from C++03 to C++11. And heck, even then GCC wouldn't let your code break because it supported dual ABIs - you could mix C++03 and C++11 code and link them together.

So C++ actually tries really hard _not_ to break your code, and that is the philosophy behind a language adhering to something that is called backwards-compatibility, you know? Something many, such as Google, were opposing to and left the committee/language for that reason. I thank the C++ language for that.

Introducing new features or new keywords or making stricter implementation of existing ones, such as narrowing integral conversions, is not a breaking change.

Incredible feat of miniaturization. I have no idea how you get a Bluetooth transmitter down to that SWaP factor, and I'm not exactly a n00b at either RF or EE stuff in general.

Almost worth $200 to order one of the BlūMorpho trackers and take it apart to see how they did it.

There are some "leaks" here and there ("forgotten" strings in AI Studio) and A/B-testing with nano-banana-2/nano-banana-pro so it will definitely come very soon.

A commitment to making things available to all, means making them available to those seeking to make profit from your work without giving you any influence.

Rebble was built on borrowed work of others combined with their own and should be willing to pay that forward for anyone else that wants to try out alternative visions for the Pebble ecosystem.

Open source solutions are unkillable so long as a community exists, unlike proprietary solutions. No proprietary solutions by Core Devices are a threat to Rebble.

They should negotiate a big donation for Rebble and shake hands.

Ah, I was perhaps a bit unclear – I didn't mean to comment on whether certain languages made the list or not, I enjoyed the thorough walkthrough of languages being used for configuration.

I was more commenting on comments such as this one under Pkl:

> This is not a markup language. This is a full-blown programming language.

And under Nickel:

> Nice programming language. Not a markup language.

It's like he's saying "we should use markup languages for configuration, not programming languages", which I don't think he means.

Hi HN,

I built Orchestro CLI to solve a problem I kept running into: testing CLI and TUI applications is painful. Existing tools like Expect are arcane, and Playwright doesn't handle terminal applications. Orchestro brings modern testing to the command line with: • YAML-based test scenarios (no scripting required) • Parallel execution with 5.25x speedup • Intelligent test generation from source code (AST analysis) • Snapshot testing for terminal output • REST + GraphQL API for integration • JUnit XML reports for CI/CD Example test: ```yaml name: Test Git Workflow steps: - send: "git status" expect: "On branch" - send: "git log --oneline" expect_regex: "^[a-f0-9]{7}" The intelligence system is particularly interesting – it can analyze your Python CLI source code and auto-generate test scenarios based on command structure, arguments, and help text. We're seeing real-world usage in CI/CD pipelines, and the parallel execution has cut test times from 10 minutes to under 2 minutes for a 50-test suite. Open source (MIT), installable via pip, production-ready with 63% test coverage. Would love feedback from the HN community!
