> I don't think you can have a "free and global market" when countries participate in large-scale state industrial policy.

All industrialized countries participate in large-scale state industrial policy. It's a pre-condition of industrialization. A nation cannot industrialize without large scale state policy. And once industrialized, all nations maintain large-scale state industrial policy. Are you saying there never has or can be a "free and global" market? Or just when china does it?

> You may think of it analogously to Free Speech.

It's nothing like free speech as free speech is a constitutional right granted within a nation.

> The reality is that if you allow convincing enough liars, your society starts to falter.

That's rich coming from someone peddling zeihan. I've always wondered what kind of morons actually believe his nonsense. Now I know.

I think this is a misinterpretation of the document. The claim is:

> 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged with or convicted of crimes in the U.S.

I believe the claim here is that 70% of the people ICE arrests have been charged with or convicted of crimes other than being present in the USA illegally. I don't think this is at all meant to imply that 30% of arrests are of people who are present in the USA legally. I think it's just sloppy writing.

Exactly my thoughts. The only incompatibility with Bun is the unavailability of the `using` keyword:

> If you are using Bun (which doesn't natively support using and uses a transpiler which is incompatible with this library)...

I skimmed the issues but I couldn't find any issues on Bun regarding this except for: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/discussions/4325

When I bought my XPS 15 in 2023, I got the "extended care" package (name may differ). Last year I had an issue with the graphics card no longer being detected, and they sent someone over to replace the mobo two days later. Support was very good.

No power issues and such either, but I don't run Windows on it. Only problem I notice is audible whine coming from the speakers when charging and doing GPU work, like scrolling.

Not great, not terrible?

This feels very much like "United Stats vs Paramount Pictures: The Sequel"[1].

Vertical integration was the key problem back then. Major studios owned major cinema chains. They made it hard for independent cinemas to show the films people wanted, and they made it very hard for independent filmmakers to get their films shown anywhere. It was highly anti-competitive.

I wouldn't expect the U.S. government to step in this time around though. It's very clear that competition and benefiting consumers are no longer priorities.

Show HN: Radioactive Pooping Knights
by patrickdavey | 2025-12-06 02:43:42+00:00
I've been having fun building out a really simple chess learning app for my daughter (7). It started with just "maze like" puzzles [1] and I've added a few more.

This "radioactive pooping knights" idea came from an Irish primary school chess website [2]. Really simple idea, two knights moving around the board leaving poo behind... Don't be the one forced to step on it.

* best played with sound on.

*highly subjective, may not be better for you to play with sound at all ;)

p.s. Any "buy me a coffee" goes to my daughter. Annoyingly they only pay out once you get above $10 USD and I think it's currently sitting at 9.85 or something!

That's great to hear your son is starting at such a young age! From my personal experience I would recommend focusing more on the concepts (which Python helps with as the syntax is easy to navigate!). Project-based coding is my ideal way of learning as you build things you are truly proud of. I remember when I was young and made my very first Python turtle drawings. Once he turns 13, I highly recommend him join the Hack Club community. Hack Club is our parent organization and its dedicated mission is to help teenagers interested in coding. I believe I wouldn't be where I am today without it. It truly helped me become a better programmer and Hack Club even offers free prizes that help you learn even more such as a Raspberry Pi for those who submit their incredible projects :) Hope that helps! Always down to help if you have anymore questions

I've been finding the increase in PR review volume extremely exhausting, partly because it's just way more code than typical, partly because it's just extremely mind-numbing work, but also because it's emphasizing how it wasn't necessarily the physical act of typing the (most) code that was expensive mentally, but rather that it was internalizing the parts of the system to a sufficient degree that I know why the code should have changed. With 5 different (large) PRs in 5 different subsystems, potentially each day, I'm now re-hydrating my own mental context more often, but not in a way that actually helps me become sufficiently intimately familiar with those systems, because that did come manually writing the code. My connection with the logic feels more superficial than ever, like I'm kicking more and more details out of my brain simply because of the volume of either more shallow tasks, or one-off specific tasks in an area I haven't seen that I don't end up sitting with for long enough

The examples shown in the links are not filters for aesthetics. These are clearly experiments in data compression

These people are having a moral crusade against an unannounced Google data compression test thinking Google is using AI to "enhance their videos". (Did they ever stop to ask themselves why or to what end?)

This level of AI paranoia is getting annoying. This is clearly just Google trying to save money. Not undermine reality or whatever vague Orwellian thing they're being accused of.

As meaning more than "having an audience in mind"?

Off the cuff-

"Don't get high on bullshit supply"

"Have a therapist handy when writing (copy)"

"Be kind to therapist, learn from TikTok, chunk your (ad-)ideas"

I'm gonna pay more attention to the idea that the _idea economy_ also runs on envy :)

Emo-integrity is not easy but it's _always_ easier with a society (sorry Buddhists/social liberals!)

The virus lies dormant in spinal and cranial ganglia for decades. If it reactivates, the immune system suppresses it, in the meantime. Past age 50-60, immunity wanes and these reactivations cannot be suppressed which allows the virus to travel back to the corresponding skin region as the spine segment to cause shingles. Presumably, after this the virus can also cross the blood brain barrier to cause neurodegeneration.

The public voted for Republicans in their highest-ever numbers in 2020 when the party did everything possible to denigrate public health efforts and scientific research at a time when hundreds of thousands were dying of Covid, with no Mexican wall or Obamacare repeal promises met.

There is no scenario where the American vote for a party will fall below 48%, and elections will continue to be decided by how 3-4 states vote.

It doesn't really matter, because the first question is: can the government suspend the contract (injunction?) while this is sorted out.

There's also the question of if OpenAI operated In good Faith (from a search: "Another sign of bad faith is withholding crucial information..."), and- of course- the South Korean government can step in as well. In fact- as a worldwide issue- any sufficiently large State(or group of States) can take issue with it.

OpenAI will have issues if they find themselves unable to buy power equipment (Schnider, Eaton). Or, perhaps anybody associated with OpenAI management or funding is arrested the second they step foot in Europe. This is already a nightmare of an International Incident.

Sure, but that's not YouTube. That's Instagram. He says so at 1:30.

YouTube is not applying any "face filters" or anything of the sort. They did however experiment with AI upscaling the entire image which is giving the classic "bad upscale" smeary look.

Like I said, I think that's still bad and they should have never done it without the clear explicit consent of the creator. But that is, IMO, very different and considerably less bad than changing someone's face specifically.
by data-ottawa | 2025-12-06 02:47:45+00:00
It's very hard to tell in that instagram video, it would be a lot clearer if someone overlaid the original unaltered video and the one viewers on YouTube are seeing.

That would presumably be an easy smoking gun for some content creator to produce.

There are heavy alterations in that link, but having not seen the original, and in this format it's not clear to me how they compare.

Tbh not at all, the process is tedious but pretty straightforward if you understand the requirements. Apple is did throw at me a huge checklist to finish which did take a while to complete, but after you successfully build the feature and submit test case videos to them its only a matter of time until you receive access to it. For Tap to Pay on iPhone, its very easy to achieve development status if you're just curious about the technology and its applications. Its more the production entitlement in which you must complete the specifications I mentioned before.

His followers also added screenshots of youtube shorts doing it. He says he reached out to both platforms and says he will be reporting back with an update from their customer service and is doing some compare an contrast testing for his audience.

I don't know if it would work, but, I imagined a Youtube like inteface to blogs. The front page would be algorithmically selected blog posts. You could "Subscribe" and like you can with channels on Youtube. You could mark a post as "read", "not interested", "never recommend this channel" etc....

Note: I specifically mean a grid of thumbnails to posts when I say "youtube like".

What better way to hurt the designated enemy and make others bare the cost?

Trump's America First in practice relies on a near-sided and overly simplistic understanding of the world (Win-lose, whatever is benefitting others must be a hinderance to the USA). Hence fighting the tariff wars against allies (Canada, Eu). Hence destroying Nato' credibility that was carefully built for 70 years. Hence ceasing to be Ukraine's ally (but continuing to be a trade partner, that sells weapons as long as Europe is paying). Hence helping Putin. Hence instigating problems with Taiwan if that means that TSMC will move some manufacturing to the USA.

It's a really miopic view, but at least on their part the behavior is intentional (consequences, on the other hand, are surprise for them).

> Here's some other creators also talking about it happening in youtube shorts (...)

If you open the context of the comment, they are specifically talking about the bad, entire-image upscaling that gives the entire picture the oily smeary look. NOT face filters.

EDIT : same thing with the two other links you edited into your comment while I was typing my reply.

Again, I'm not defending YouTube for this. But I also don't think they should be accused of doing something they're not doing. Face filters without consent are a far, far worse offense than bad upscaling.

I would like to urge you to be more cautious, and to actually read what you brandish as proof.

You need a minimal base OS to have the flexibility to build your own stuff on top of it, and you don't want to be at the behest of another corporation. That rules out Fedora, Suse, and Ubuntu. You also need it to be popular and have good hardware support. So the only two realistic options are Arch and Debian.

My guess is that Arch is easier to build on top of because they have a stronger culture of leaving packages as unmodified as possible relative to their upstream sources, whereas Debian maintainers seem to have the opposite culture. A Debian system has a lot of Debian-isms in it overall, whereas the Arch-isms tend to be more like generic sensible defaults rather than OS idosyncrasies.

When it’s not about the content returned from an online service but instead the actual automation performed by the application, doing something instead of saying something, it becomes exponentially more challenging to replicate via LLM over a weekend. That’s the distinction I think you are looking for.

For example a self hosted application that provides real time service monitoring with performance metrics and can proxy that information between other data systems versus some full stack app that provides service information from the cloud.

On the other side of the coin I do write my own apps to avoid reliance on media streaming subscriptions.

> if he didn't do better, it's because the organisation didn't let him.

The last few sentences to me read like he knows for sure that the organisation is actively working against what he sees as his important goals. Carefully worded (and likely personal lawyer approved) to avoid burning the bridges as he mic-drops and deftly avoids having the door hit him in the arse as he struts out.

My home lab has grown over the years, now consisting of a physical Proxmox cluster, and a handful of servers (RaspPi and micro hosts). A couple years back I got tired of failures related to host-level Docker issues, so I got a NAS and started using NAS storage for everything I could.

I also re-investigated containerization - weighing Docker Swarm vs K3s - and settled on Docker Swarm.

I’ve hated it ever since. Swarm is a PITA to use and has all kinds of failure modes that are different than regular old Docker Compose.

I’ve considered migrating again - either to Kubernetes, or just back to plain Docker - but haven’t done it. Maybe I should look at Uncloud?

I mean maybe. We often have weekly customer meetings. One of my programs has 2 customers, we meet with both weekly. So do I put idk 200+ customer meetings? That seems like a weird metric because it's like "compiled code 400 times." I've seen resumes that have the same vibe. We did not hire them. Sometimes it's very telling what people think are accomplishments.

The incentive suggested in the article is to block other competitors from scaling training, which is immensely RAM hungry. Amongst other things. Even Nvidia could feel the pressure, since their GPUs need RAM. It could be a good bargaining chip for them, who knows.

I'm not saying it's true, but it is suspicious at the very least. The RAM is unusable as it stands, it's just raw wafer, they'd need a semiconductor fab + PCB assembly to turn them into usable RAM modules. Why does OpenAI want to become a RAM manufacturer, but of only the process post-wafer.

> For me the purpose of RSS is to get the newest headlines, choose the interesting articles and skip the rest.

That's the only way I ever conceived of it.

What the author describes is unappealing to me. I choose my RSS feeds deliberately. I sort them into five categories, only two of which are must-view. Around half the articles from those two will be worth reading and I want to know that I didn't miss anything from either one. The rest is there for when I have extra time to kill while standing in line at the store, waiting for an elevator, etc.

If everything is random, I'll never know if I missed the one article that would have been the most important to me.
by NathanielK | 2025-12-06 03:04:39+00:00
The real disappointment is none of the sources are linked in the text. Instead, it's just random underlined words, the classic chatgpt over formatting with lots of extra underlining and bolding. I appreciate that a 10-15 minute long article summarizes a 25 minute video, but it's hard to hide the real author.

Quite lazily done and just not pleasant to read.

AI models are a form of compression.

Neural compression wouldn't be like HVEC, operating on frames and pixels. Rather, these techniques can encode entire features and optical flow, which can explain the larger discrepancies. Larger fingers, slightly misplaced items, etc.

Neural compression techniques reshape the image itself.

If you've ever input an image into `gpt-image-1` and asked it to output it again, you'll notice that it's 95% similar, but entire features might move around or average out with the concept of what those items are.

Immich started the same time and with the same backstory/reasoning to my (failed) project.

I love the immich success story but it seems like it's missing a crucial use case in my view: I don't actually want a majority of the photos on my phone. I want something like a shared album that me and my wife both have access to, and so we can share photos specifically to that album (quickly and without hassle), so we can do it in the moment and both have access.

I would probably estimate 90% Of my photos are junk, But I want to isolate and share the 10% that are really special.

My app failed, but I'm thinking about reviving it as an alternative front-end to immich, to build upon that.. But I feel like I'm the only one who wants this. Everyone else seems fine with bulk photo backup for everything.

Overhead of small volume manufacturing. If they make all those variations and intend to continue existing as a company that makes money selling things, it would have to be at a price where no one's going to buy one. But if I start an Etsy store selling one-offs at $399 each, people can grumble about my price, but it's not on Framework.

> It would require half of one distribution center of a major retailer.

That also meets the specifications of a clean room, and is actively maintained as one?

If OpenAI bought 40% of the annual capacity of finished memory, with the goal of using it in their server farms ASAP, that's one thing.

But unfinished wafers that still need to be protected to finish the manufacturing process, that OpenAI itself does not have any capability to do?

That to me looks like a preemptive strike against competitors, which also affects any other industry that requires RAM, in an attempt to develop a monopolistic position.

I can't see how this isn't a massive national security issue for any country that needs devices requiring RAM for new systems and maintenance of existing ones (pretty much all of them...) to manage critical infrastructure, national defence, public and social services, and so on.

YouTube should keep their grubby hands off. And give that capability to us instead. I want the power to do personal AI edits built in. Give me a prompt line under each video. Like "replace English with Gaelic", "replace dad jokes with lorem ipsum", "make the narrator's face 25% more symmetrical", "replace the puppy with a xenomorph", "change the setting to Monument Valley", etc.

Probably compression followed by regeneration during decompression. There's a brilliant technique called "Seam Carving" [1] invented two decades ago that enables content aware resizing of photos and can be sequentially applied to frames in a video stream. It's used everywhere nowadays. It wouldn't surprise me that arbitrary enlargements are artifacts produced by such techniques.

Netflix should buy a theme park and make a rival to Disneyland. Call it Westworld... put a Westworld area, Harry Potter area (make the Hogwarts train like the monorail), Dune area, Lord of the Rings areas (Shire, Rivendell, Gondor, Mordor), DC comics area (Gotham, Metropolis), Game of Thrones areas, etc. So many other properties from Cartoon Network to add for kids. So many other areas to expand on with the IP from WB if Netflix wants to.

I belonged to the generation that graduated into the rising dotcom boom. Around that time, lots of universities taught C++ as the first serious language. (Some still started with Pascal.)

The main thing a lot of had going for us was 5-10 years of experience with Basic, Pascal and other languages before anyone tried to teach us C++. Those who came in truly unprepared often struggled quite badly.

I adore Immich. I set it up a while ago, and I'm finally looking at my photos again. I was previously using Nextcloud for photos, but it was such a slog to find anything that I never took or looked at photos.

Immich put the joy back in photography for me, it's so easy to find anything, even with just searching with natural language.

You don’t generate based on the message contents, rather you use the incoming idempotent id.

Customer A can buy N units of product X as many times as they want.

Each unique purchase you process will have its own globally unique id.

Each duplicated source event you process (due to “at least once” guarantees) will generate the same unique id across the other duplicates - without needing to coordinate between consumers.
Show HN: A small reasoning engine that learns rewrite rules from two examples
by heavymemory | 2025-12-06 03:12:07+00:00
I have been experimenting with structural reasoning and built a small engine that learns rewrite rules from only two examples. You provide a pair of before and after expressions and it works out the transformation and applies it to new inputs. There is no LLM, no regex and no hard coded logic.

The demo includes:

TEACH (learn a rule from two examples)

COMPOSE (several learned rules used together) TRANSFER (a rule learned in algebra also works in logic and sets)

SIMPLIFY (multi step deterministic rewriting with a visible trace)

CODEMOD (teaching a codemod from two examples)

It runs on a CPU and produces a reasoning trace for every step. I would be interested to know what people think or where it breaks.

Demo: https://re.heavyweather.io
