I think the investment race here is an "all-pay auction"*. Lots of investors have looked at the ultimate prize — basically winning something larger than the entire present world economy forever — and think "yes".

But even assuming that we're on the right path for that (which we may not be) and assuming that nothing intervenes to stop it (which it might), there may be only one winner, and that winner may not have even entered the game yet.

I wouldn't say that human intelligence is "the pinnacle" but I do think that more intelligence might not turn into the ability to solve harder problems.

For instance the problem with high energy physics is not that people don't have ideas but rather we have limited experimental and observational results that would let us tell one theory from another.

Similarly I don't think more intelligence would help in solving the Collatz conjecture.

The sad thing is linux, like MacOS, is often vastly superior for audio routing and latency.

Personally I gave up all my audio productions tools that don't support Linux, but since music/audio work is just a hobby for me that's easier to do. I do miss my old DAWs (Ableton/Reason), and I miss a lot of VST plugins.

Not everyone can just re-base their setup on linux (for me Renoise & VCV Rack), but I can get plenty of joy out of a complete lack of Windows, license management crapware, invasive rootkit level DRM, etc.

Side benefit: it pushes me to get some more external hardware, but I have to do investigations on how some companies do firmware updates which often require MacOS/Windows or Chrome Browser (fucking webmidi looking at you Novation)

My parents and grandparents were decidedly blue-collar and new middle class from the late 60's to mid 90's, and my grandfather, a mechanic, bought a new home on the Los Gatos border using the GI bill. It requires an income of about 600k USD to afford to buy housing where I grew up. I'm basically solid lower class in the southwest corner of the Texas Triangle now.

The main problems, as I see them, are the protectionist limitations on new supply, unfair importation of immense overseas' and out-of-state wealthy individuals' wealth causing gentrification, and the absurd inequality of wages into extreme power law distribution by the cheapening and decline of labor due to under-restrained capitalism.

It doesn't work like that. You need to actually use the model and then go to /activity to see the actual speed. I constantly get 150-200tps from the Big 3 while other providers barely hit 50tps even though they advertise much higher speeds. GLM 4.6 via Cerebras is the only one faster than the closed source models at over 600tps.

> you overestimate the importance of Apple to India. It is just a company

If New Delhi wants to smite Apple it obviously can. That isn’t the question. It’s if Apple can bargain for a better deal. I think the answer is yes.

The starting point would be finding the fault lines between the folks in India arguing for this policy and those who don’t care or are hostile to it.

> I'm a bit surprised that you think Google and the streaming services are helpless here

They own about 0 rights to the content they stream.

Netflix almost collapsed when major studios pulled their content to create competing platforms. That's why they spent to the tune of 8 billion dollars a year to produce their own content and flooded the service with mediocre movies and a bunch of Korean movies and series. Also that's why you can watch the content they have rights to in every country, download it etc.

That's the same reason why AppleTV is busy creating their own content etc.

If streaming platforms dare to go against rights holders, the lawsuits will hurt even Google.

As for AI: it doesn't hurt the rights holders yet. The moment it does, you'll see lawsuits.

Cool project, especially since I'd say the web is lacking a true 3d engine with an editor. I will say that looking through the editor very briefly it seems to have the basic there, with a few issues I ran into: 1. I couldn't figure out how to change the material for objects (have a different material for different objects) 2. Camera controls for the editor are a bit jank, in that holding right click and scrolling can't be the most optimal way for moving around 3. Also the animation track thing seems to be there for future animation but doesn't do anything right now 4. Finally, I couldn't figure out in a short time how to get shadows being received on objects, like i put an object over a plane and changed directional light angle and it wasn't receving shadows. Maybe this is a setting somewhere for it to receive shadows but I didn't see it.

Overall, great start though, and I'd like to see this build out one day

Yes and I'd argue that this is because they have not been elected on merit but because the people rejected the Tories. I believe that Corbyn got more votes than Starmer!

They have neither talents nor a plan. So far it seems that Starmer has picked policies to make him survive and he knows that this means placating power bases in the Labour party, not generally good policies for the country. Opinion polls are scathing.

I clicked through to the app's website, linked immediately in the writeup [1]. It slowed my browser (Firefox) to a crawl for 10 seconds but ultimately had no information whatsoever. Clicked the FAQ at the bottom, where the first question is "What is this?", which seems silly to have to address in a FAQ. But to answer you: It's a coding copilot app. No idea why you'd use your phone for this.

> DeepSeek-V3.2 introduces significant updates to its chat template compared to prior versions. The primary changes involve a revised format for tool calling and the introduction of a "thinking with tools" capability.

At first, I thought they had gone the route of implementing yet another chat format that can handle more dynamic conversations like that, instead of just using Harmony, but looking at the syntax, doesn't it look exactly like Harmony? That's a good thing, don't get me wrong, but why not mention straight up that they've implemented Harmony, so people can already understand up front that it's compatible with whatever parsing we're using for GPT-OSS?

Long ago I worked for a group that once in a long while would send someone onsite to fix some proprietary hardware. It was for a US military contractor, but the site was all US military. The process was to take your car key, ID, computer and spare hardware you were bringing in the rental car and follow the instructions to the location. Nothing else (yes you had clothes). You expected to leave with just your ID and key (taken at the gate) and anything else would likely be confiscated.

When you arrived everything was searched, you were blindfolded, driven and walked blindfolded until you were right in front of the rack of equipment to work on. Even a trip to the bathroom was accompanied by a soldier.

Laptop, hardware, all was left behind when you were done.

I remember thinking "pretty smart, that's pretty secure".

Now I don't think there's any other way than to keep personal mobile devices out of the loop.

And for people of high rank ... I gotta think their kids / family mobile devices are a target too, pickup something over dinner discussion maybe.

We've kinda bugged ourselves with these things.

Except she isn't stealing the state in any way, the state is more than willing to give her back.

If she's stealing someone, it's someone akin to her younger self whose work is taken away by the state to give her.

Had she become a burglar, stealing directly from the senior public servants[1] houses, then it would have been somehow consistent. But I'm pretty sure she would still have agreed that this was theft and immoral.

The reality is simple, at the end of her life, she simply couldn't afford to live in a way that matched her individualist ideology.

[1]: because even though Rand claims she hates the State, it's pretty clear from the writing that her main personal issues are the civil servants themselves.

The Toshiba (!?) laptops that got sold to one of my clients at nearly $1100/ea are pathetic. Basically the same kit you can get for $600-700 at Best Buy. The equivalent MacBook would have been miles better, in terms of build quality and specs. Although, I’m using a ThinkPad E16v2 right now that I am quite pleased with that was $899 with 32GB/1TB. There are reports Apple is getting ready to launch a less expensive MacBook soon. I think the <$1000 options for laptops is about to get rather interesting.

I’m still disappointed to see the days of easy RAM/storage upgrades have largely gone. I was initially suspicious of the reasons offered for why soldering memory directly to the motherboard is necessary, but with a few years of academic engineering experience (I don’t use much of my EE education in my day job), it’s not illogical—as frequency increases, the circuit’s sensitivity to parasitic inductance and capacitance also increases, and connectors/interfaces are a big source of parasitic effects and general nonlinearity. That said, my desktop has traditional DIMM slots, and it’s technically running faster DDR5 than any of my other devices with soldered DDR4 modules.

I charitably assume the difference is laptop’s need for greater efficiencies, but either way it would be nice if the manufacturers hadn’t instantly taken advantage of this new “necessity” to jack up prices on memory and storage quite so aggressively. It’s probably also worth noting that Apple was first to really do this widely, as far as I’m aware, with the M1 chipset. Also worth noting the M1 was groundbreaking, and it’s seemingly magical memory management made it so an Apple M device with ~60% of the memory of its x86 equivalent can perform just as well (if not better). I have an 8GB M1 Mac Mini that’s still quite functional for routine work. 16GB still provides great performance.

But then, my AMD desktop that cost ~$1200 a year ago (with a capable GPU) is sporting 48GB because I could pay a reasonable price for DIMMs that I can plug-in myself. Similar specs on a mass-market machine probably would have run that price up to near $2000.

In the original article, author never actually went into why they disliked their experience with Ruby. They listed some historical shortcomings which we can only presume they were experiencing on the code base they found themself working on. I think the best point out of that first article was don't pick Ruby as a development language in 2025, there are better options for any advantage you might think it will give you.

I think that should've been the main point to attack.

In the present article, the author went for pathos instead and in some ironic sense confirmed the previous article's notion that Ruby is powered by sentimentality.

Many people that adore Elixir also think Ruby is a no go, despite the latter being a strong influence. Arguments against Elixir tend to revolve around its lack of traction, not its lack of seriousness.

This myth needs to die. PE does not own that many homes. There was a small period in early COVID where interest rates were lower than cap rates. During this time PE, along with the investment market in general, invested in real estate including SFRs. That is no longer the case. It's a great boogeyman but trust me, having worked in the industry, institutional investors own less than 5% of SFRs.

Real estate investing in general went bananas during COVID (plenty of non-PE buyers as well) because it's one of the only ways the average citizen can access that amount of leverage.

Hiring: MouseMux | Remote (EU-friendly) | Part-time (8-16h/week) | Community + Outreach + Content

I’m the solo developer behind MouseMux (mousemux.com) - a Windows tool that enables multiple users / multiple cursors on one desktop (local + remote). It’s used in trading / multi-monitor setups, simulator & control-room (SCADA-ish) environments, classrooms, and other collaborative workflows. MouseMux is at a turning point: a wave of major new functionality is landing, especially around remote multi-user collaboration. The product is becoming significantly more capable, and I need someone who can translate that to the world - clearly and genuinely, in the niches where it shines. You’ll be the “spider in the web”:

* Talk to existing customers, capture use cases, keep relationships warm * Create simple content (short screen-recorded videos, posts, case snippets) * Find look-alike companies/institutions and do human, non-spammy outreach * Coordinate with relevant creators (YouTube/bloggers) for deep-dives * Occasionally post in relevant communities (Reddit/Discord/forums) transparently and helpfully No coding required, but you should be comfortable with technical users and Windows tooling. I’m optimizing for someone autonomous who can run with outreach + content.

Comp: contract, €60–€120/hour depending on fit, 8–16h/week. Start with a small paid test project. Bonus possible for meaningful outcomes (pilots/case studies/revenue growth).

Email: info@mousemux.com with (1) short intro, (2) 1–2 examples of content/outreach, (3) why MouseMux.

There surely are. The problem is that they are failing. While the practical nerds are coming up with some pretty good ideas.

And this was what philosophy was supposed to be for! Like, they've been arguing on their pins for centuries about the essence of consciousness and the uniqueness of the human condition and whatnot. AND HERE WE ARE AT THE DAWN OF NON-HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND THEY HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO SAY.

Basically at what point do we just pack it in and admit we all fucked up?

The steam engine is more than just boiling water. It is a thermodynamic cycle that exploits differences in the pressure curve in the expansion and contraction part of the cycle and the cooling of expanding gas to turn a temperature difference (the steam) into physical force (work).

To really understand WHY a steam engine works, you need to understand the behavior of ideal gasses (1787 - 1834) and entropy (1865). The ideal gas law is enough to perform calculations needed to design a steam engine, but it was seen at the time to be just as inscrutable. It was an empirical observation not derivable from physical principles. At least not until entropy was understood in 1865.

James Watt invented his steam engine in 1765, exactly a hundred years before the theory of statistical mechanics that was required to explain why it worked, and prior to all of the gas laws except Boyle’s.

I agree that is what he is doing, but I can also justify adding fentanyl to every drug sold in the world as "making it better" from a business perspective, because it is addictive. Anyone who ignores the moral or ethical angle on decisions, I cannot take seriously. It's like saying that Maximizing Shareholder Value is always the right thing to do. No, it isn't. So don't say stupid shit like that, be a human being and use your brain and capacity to look at things and analyze "is this good for human society?".
Ask HN: Why doesn't OpenAI open real-world AI theme parks?
by amichail | 2025-12-01 20:17:38+00:00
I think these could rival Universal Studios theme parks for example.

So imagine a full theme park built entirely around modern AI breakthroughs. Instead of passive rides, every attraction would be an interactive showcase where visitors play with AI in focused, creative ways.

* Language Hall: Guide branching stories with natural speech, debate playful AI characters, or describe a scene and watch it appear around you.

* Vision Zone: Try to “trick” or teach computer vision using props, walk through mystery rooms that change based on what the AI sees, or use live style-transform booths.

* Robotics Yard: Vibe-code robots by describing personalities or goals. Watch them choreograph, solve puzzles, or act out scenes based on simple prompts.

* Creativity Pavilion: Hum a tune and get a full song, pitch a game idea and get a tiny playable prototype, or co-write stories that appear visually in real time.

* Simulation Zone: Tweak rules in small virtual worlds and watch them evolve. Solve puzzles with an AI partner or experiment with social and economic simulations.

* Personalization House: Walk into rooms that adapt to your described mood or build animated avatars that match your personality.

A park like this would turn AI into an immersive medium and could compete with major theme parks by offering experiences you can’t get anywhere else.

Do you think OpenAI should open real-world AI theme parks like this?

>"if you can rent cheaply enough for 10-20 years the boomers will start dying in sufficient numbers that if there is somehow no reversion on home prices in the mean time there should be insufficient buyers at that point and prices will eventually fall"

But that "10-20 years" is your life, and there's no getting it back. Millennials (the largest generation in US history) have entered into our prime family starting age, and the fact that most are priced out of the housing market right now and stuck renting apartments is a complete tragedy. At a 90th percentile income, I can just barely be able to afford a home and provide for a family of 3-4 like our parents and grandparents did on a highschool education with no higher skills.

I agree completely re: mev-13 == optimal solution. But the word "pragmatic" hits me hard. Merv-13 when new/clean start out with pretty restrictive flow. They catch a lot of particles so restriction increases rapidly. At some point the CFM loss means the filter is much less optimal. All the studies I read used new filters, smoke-filled rooms, a day's treatment. It is obviously impractical and very, very expensive to replace a merv-13 filter every few days. There are no reusable merv-13 filters that I could find. If there is a study about merv-13 effectiveness over 30 days vs. merv-8 I would love to see it. I would love to use merv-13, but just cannot get my head around how it is a practical, affordable solution across years and years of use, and let's say a month between filter renewal. Let me know if you have good insights as I am pretty worn out researching this. Thx, RF

I was given a 2023 Dell XPS 13 for work. I was pretty stoked to go back to an XPS after using one in 2019 for work.

For some reason, the MOBO was dying slowly after a year. My other coworkers also reported similar problems.

Lenovo-wise:

My personal Thinkpad X1 Extreme was a champ for 7+ years, and a few P series I've used over the years since 2021 were also great.

At the end, I just built a desktop and use a Macbook Air. So far so good.

Constructive discussion on HN wont change anything either. Moreover, looking at the politics, claiming that constructive discussions is how things are achieved seems to simply not be true. It actually seems like cathartic complaining and making noise has massively better to achieve a change or being heard, practically.

> ’m simply saying the only thing you can control is you and so it’s up to you to master your habits and desires so that you can afford a future you want.

Nah, there is no possibility "future you want" in your advice. It is just about hiding the reality creating vague feeling that people can control things. Even if they cant.

What you are actually saying is that there is no hope for change. Everybody knows your advice wont lead to a change. Worst, if one believes to your advice, they will vote for politicians who created current situation. Because they are the ones constantly blaming individuals for result of policies they pushed for.
