This paragraph is wild to me:

According to the newspaper, the jury determined the NCAA “unreasonably increased the risk of harm of head impacts to Robert Geathers over and above the risks inherent to playing football.” And it also determined the NCAA “voluntarily assumed duties to protect the health and safety of Robert Geathers” and that the NCAA “negligently breached their duties” to him.

The NCAA is obviously going to appeal this decision and the onus would be identifying how the NCAA "unreasonably increased the risk of harm of head impacts over and above the risks inherent to playing football" - which is a wild statement for the jury to make, and also that the NCAA "voluntarily assumed duties to protect the health and safety" of the plaintiff. How?

I'm not a fan of the NCAA by any means but these are wild claims for the jury to have made.

If you get a very serious and expensive problem, insurance may not help nearly as much as you'd think. My mother had great insurance, but when she got cancer, the insurance didn't stop her from getting absolutely destroyed by the medical bills (not to mention having to constantly fight with the insurance company while being extremely ill).

It drove her to bankruptcy anyway. In hindsight, she commented that had she known that the insurance wouldn't be all that helpful, she would have just saved up all the money she poured into premiums over the decades.

It is and many immigrant families frequent their origin countries for this purpose (my own as well as many others I know), but it’s hard for someone born and raised in the United States to conceptualize what this looks like in a country like Portugal, Armenia, Russia, Turkey, Korea, etc. There’s issues of trust, risk, learning new and unusual systems, travel discomfort, and the incumbent American system benefits from this. It’s a massive thing for someone in Nebraska to say “let me check treatment options for my chronic back pain in Seoul and run the numbers”.

There’s nothing, absolutely nothing that as an immigrant I loathe more in the United States than the healthcare system. It is disgusting. The mediocrity of the average doctor combined with how much they charge for that mediocrity blows my mind every time life forces me into their wretched cabinets.

> here's probably more effort at exposition in this blog post than in all of Math Academy's coverage (that's not a dunk on Math Academy).

haha definitely agree. a lot of these blog posts are great if you want to read about math. mathacademy is pretty much all the exposition chopped out and you spend 90% of your time doing math. I can see how some wouldn't like it but I think the problem solving aspect makes it was more useful for bruteforcing your way towards building intuition

Executive order 14221 (passed in 2021, [0]) was supposed to provide transparency about what the actual negotiated rates were. The idea was that it would be a lot harder for hospitals to engage in price discrimination when they had to publish what everyone was paying.

The actual effect has been... mixed. IIUC, the hospitals mostly haven't complied with the order, or they're maliciously complying while trying to keep their real rates secret.

The article mentions Vikunja as an alternative to Nextcloud Tasks, and I can give it a solid recommendation as well. I wanted a self-hosted task management app with some lightweight features for organizing tasks into projects, ideally with a kanban view, but without a full-blown PM feature set. I tried just about every task management app out there, and Vikunja was the only one that ticked all the boxes for me.

Some specific things I like about it:

* Basic todo app features are compatible with CalDAV clients like tasks.org * Several ways of organizing tasks: subtasks, tags, projects, subprojects, and custom filters * list, table, and kanban views * A reasonably clean and performant frontend that isn't cluttered with stuff I don't need (i.e., not Jira)

And some other things that weren't hard requirements, but have been useful for me:

* A REST API, which I use to export task summaries and comments to markdown files (to make them searchable along with my other plaintext notes) * A 3rd party CLI tool: https://gitlab.com/ce72/vja * OIDC integration (currently using it with Keycloak) * Easily deployable with docker compose

OK, but...

Let's suppose that a doctor's visit costs $200 for someone without insurance. And let's say that the two options are 1) insurance premiums are $1000/month, but it's only a $20 copay to visit the doctor, and 2) major-only insurance at $100/month. I can visit the doctor pretty regularly on that difference of $900/month.
Show HN: TabSmart: AI-powered Chrome extension that groups tabs by context
by sagaruprety | 2025-11-03 16:43:51+00:00
I built TabSmart because I was drowning in browser tabs and existing solutions weren't smart enough.

The problem: Most tab managers use simple heuristics—group by domain, or manual tagging. But when I'm researching software options, I'll have the vendor site, pricing articles from different blogs, reviews on Reddit, and demo videos on YouTube—all related but scattered across different domains.

TabSmart uses AI to actually understand what your tabs are about, not just where they're from. It analyzes page content (title + content extraction) and groups tabs that are semantically related, even if they're from completely different sites.

How it works: - Extracts content from open tabs (configurable token limits) - Sends to LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) with a prompt to find relationships - Returns structured groups based on semantic similarity - Creates Chrome tab groups automatically

Technical details: - Built as Chrome extension (manifest v3) - Supports BYOK (bring your own API key) or managed service - Customizable AI prompts for grouping logic - Auto-group feature for continuous organization - Privacy-focused: all processing happens server-side (or with your own key)

The interesting challenge was getting AI grouping to be both accurate and fast. Early versions would take forever with 50+ tabs. I optimized by batching tabs, using smarter content extraction, and caching.

You can try it here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tabsmart-ai-powered...

Built with vanilla JS, Supabase for auth/subscriptions, and Stripe for payments. Happy to answer questions about the implementation!
by jcranmer | 2025-11-03 16:43:53+00:00
The main question I have with all of these deals: how much of the deal is OpenAI actually required to buy, versus how much of it is an option for OpenAI to buy? Because if you tot up all of these numbers, it's something like 10× current annual revenue that OpenAI is signing deals for, and if OpenAI is actually committing to all of that spend... there is a serious cash crunch looming. But if OpenAI is merely optioning to spend up to that much, and only has to commit to a tenth of those numbers, well, that's not as threatening to OpenAI as a going concern.
Show HN: Chainkit - low level block explorer built for developers
by har777 | 2025-11-03 16:44:26+00:00
I started working on a block explorer for fun and thought this was a good v1 to release to the public.

ChainKit is more low-level than other explorers like Etherscan and displays chain data fully.

There are also some nice features like contract storage slot visualisation and contract call simulations. My blog post explains it better: https://harishaji.com/posts/introducing-chainkit/

> Socialist politics are extremely good at ensuring a high standard of living for the elite and shutting everyone else

European social democratic politics are usually characterized by the opposite outcome, where high taxes and redistribution means the top 10% is much closer to the average Joe than in ultra capitalist countries. Less inequality in general.

Is it possible to use Fil-C as a replacement for valgrind/address sanitizer/leak sanitizer? I.e. say I have a C program that does manual memory management already. Can I then compile it with Fil-C and have it panic/assert on heap use after free, uninitialized memory read (including stack), array out of bounds read, etc?

From a practical matter, most fish in the ocean feed on other marine life. herbivorous and omnivorous fish do exist but they are a bit more rare, and it is more common for smaller/juvenile fish. Also even among those that are primarily herbivorous, they usually go after eggs or very small fish which makes them omnivorous.

The most common fish that we eat are those that other fish also eat, like herring, and there aren't a good comparable land based animal in our current diet. It would be a bit like if a primary diet for humans would be wild rodents.

One reason could be that fish like herring schools, but wild rodents don't. It is easier to hunt large quantity of animals if they are located in the same location and bunched up.

Yeah make sense, but I don't have any buzzing goal right now, doolang is not any dsl, just to ensure high level syntax for developer writing backend servers apis. And not started as learning project. Will move forward as per feedback of community and requirement but not such specific target im aiming. so again simple concept is keep it simple to write with speed and security

A dramatic new scale for a hydro-thermal project.

Struck by how deeply humanity’s growing economic power has transformed the “power economy” and “resource economy” of nature. Even in places we don’t consider the natural environment anymore we keep finding new levers to pull, fulcrums of leverage.

If we did it slowly, impacted life would evolve to be very dependent on our changes. Which might be precarious. But in terms of displacement, in speed, pervasiveness and relentlessness, nature doesn’t have much hope to adapt in any stable deeply optimized way any more.

Of course, zooming out, we are still part of natural life. The flurry of artifacts are still driven by survival, resource terrain exploration, selection, propagation. But it is a very different phase that nature is moving into.

Presumably in X years, terrestrial engineered resource use will exceed evolved resource use, and as that goes off planet, never look back. Extra-Earth “Life” is going to change and keep spreading at higher scales, of speed and pervasiveness.

Will the large heavenly bodies, or myriads of small orbital bodies see the most activity next? Where will the subsequent waves gestate and spread from? And go? Africa’s days of vibrant genesis have come full term. Will Earth retain anything like the macro biosphere we still have? Remain a cradle, a bread basket, become a backwater or desert?

We are all experiencing the uncertainty of how much of our economy will go self-designed in 10 years or 20. In 100 years? One small lifetime for some, a giant leap for Terrans. All we know is we don’t know what the brave new world will look like at all. No pundit or futurist has a clue.

I have experienced a life in which on personal terms, five years regularly exceeded my ability to predict major changes in my life. That has been a stable personal interval of “singularity” for me. As I write this, I am unsure of my own life’s trajectory beyond even one year any more. And that relative temporal “stability” is shrinking.

Life doesn’t just adapt. It adapts to adapt faster. And now, adapts, to adapt faster, faster. That may be a better universal definition of intelligence than many that have been proposed.

The genomic, epigenetic biosphere, and even the glacially emergent geo/hydrosphere, are quickly morphing into the increasingly frenetic self-designed intellisphere, physically manifested with its own mechasphere. Actively or by the accident of proximity.

Whether by gathering and concentrating the heat from colder substrates, or by creating a local galaxy of tiny artificial stellar fires, the glowing engines of life are just hitting ignition. How far and fast this new explosion?
by geodel | 2025-11-03 16:45:36+00:00
True, besides actual software engineering is small part of overall IT/computer related work. There are far more analysts, managers(project, program, IT, agile etc), QA, operations and so on. So engineers who employers think are capable of leveraging AI and do 20 s/w engineer worth of work with 5 people will remain in demand for time being.

Even without outright layoffs one can see how fast leverage of average IT engineer is disappearing. After 20 years of experience my value or feedback matters less than when I was 4 years into paid job. And it has far less to with AI so far.

Most custom work of past is just a library, component or framework to use. And those are mandated to be used as it much easier to hire/replace teams to work on those.

Now It may be always be true to have reusable components created but growth of IT industry kept people employed in ever greater numbers. However now it seems to be reaching limit. Leaving aside highly visible layoffs by US tech giants, growth is fading in countries like India with huge IT offshoring workforce. There are millions upon millions jobless fresh graduates waiting to get jobs with some IT degree.

But is OpenAI building that compute or are they renting it?

OpenAI and Anthropic are signing large deals with Google and Amazon for compute resources, but ultimately it means that Google and Amazon will own a ton of compute. Is OpenAI paying Amazon's cap ex just so Amazon can invest and end up owning what OpenAI needs over the long term?

For those paying Google, are they giving Google the money Google needs to further invest in their TPUs giving them a huge advantage?

> In the last decade or so American grocery stores have dramatically improved their cheese selections. I don't know if it is 100 different cheeses, but it is pretty darn close. And unusual regional cheeses come in all the time.

Eh, I mean, sure, if you go to a Whole Foods or Trader Joe, you’ll find cheese that might rival a discount chain in France at premium prices. If you go to Safeway, Target or Walmart, the cheese will not be anywhere near what a French (or I assume, a Swiss) person would find acceptable.

That’s the case for many/most mechanical assemblies with wear parts.

I installed a new steering box in my Jeep a few years ago - or at least, I think that’s the name of the component, but it seems wrong to my ear. The part that converts rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear motion in the steering components for the front wheels.

Anyhow, it was very tight. Not only was there no play, but I could tell it was taxing my power steering system more than normal. It took about a year for that to level out, and another 2-3 years for it to feel “normal” again. Another ~5 years and it would have exhibited perceptible “play” in the steering.

Like most of us I think, I really, really wanted to like nextcloud. I put it on an admittedly somewhat slow dual Xeon server, gave it all 32 threads and many, many gigabytes of ram.

Even on a modern browser on a brand new leading-edge computer, it was completely unusably slow.

Horrendous optimization aside, NC is also chasing the current fad of stripping out useful features and replacing them with oceans of padding. The stock photos app doesn't even have the ability to sort by date!. That's been table stakes for a photo viewer since the 20th goddamn century.

When Windows Explorer offers a more performant and featureful experience, you've fucked up real bad.

I would feel incredibly bad and ashamed to publish software in the condition that NextCloud is in. It is IMO completely unacceptable.

> There are many things you can do with LLMs other than build systems.

Like what? The code-like output example clearly requires you to build a system before the LLM can evaluate your program. If I want an LLM to generate a bedtime story, I also need to build a system that defines that. Where do you find the escape?

Maybe you're thinking of AGI? While everyone has their own pet AGI definition, many see it as being the point where you no longer have to build the system and the machine can start to take on that role. But we don't have that yet, and isn't what we're talking about anyway.

I get what you're saying, but tire technology has improved traction so greatly in the last decade that we can definitely take the slight loss in maximum theoretical traction for the massive benefits in other areas. There is also the question of what "maximum traction" is... what scenario are we talking about? Straight line acceleration from a dig or skidpad turning at a high speed? If we're turning at all then the momentum (which increases w/ mass) of the vehicle is what pulls it off course and causes the tires to break traction.

I also drive a FWD (a quite spicy one) and I break traction all the time, not because of weight, but because of torque. You can modulate torque, not weight. The biggest traction increases that I made on my FWD were when I put on sticky summer tires, the second was subtly changing front control arm geometry and bushings, and the third was adding stiffer engine mounts.

Agreed on getting tossed around in a light car though, not much can be done about that... other than making the roads better and lowering the center of gravity.
