Hi Rosa, I just visited your site and I must say, it is amazing. However, I noticed some things that can be improved. First, it is not so responsive on mobile: the logo looks awkwardly positioned and the images showing specialized professionals clusters together and also the texts become really long in mobile view while there is space on the page.

Similar view on tablet mode...The responsiveness.

Licensing, and QNX missed a consumer launch window by around 17 years.

Some businesses stick with markets they know, as non-retail customer revenue is less volatile. If you enter the consumer markets, there are always 30k irrational competitors (likely with 1000X the capital) that will go bankrupt trying to undercut the market.

It is a decision all CEO must make eventually. Best of luck =3

> Ukraine uses American intel for targeting

They have been cut off already. But if you think that Ukraine was flying blind until now if not for US targeting, I don't know what to tell you.

> Which isn't really an EU project - it's a Leonardo SA - Mitsubishi project as Leonardo is dual British-Italian

No, Leonardo is Italian with significant presence in the UK. But in any case the British component is provided by BAE Systems (which also heavily participate in F-35). And yes, it's not an EU project, it's a project in which European countries and companies are taking part. Does that change anything?

> Which isn't really an EU project - it's a Leonardo SA - Mitsubishi project as Leonardo is dual British-Italian. And that's my point

> No EU joint defense project succeeds because inevitably individual states in the EU protect their champions

Do I need to list the big successes again? This is categorically not true.

> How? Belgium has vetoed expropriating Russian assets [0] because the ECB rejected providing a backstop. And Hungary has vetoed the utilization of Eurobonds [1]

Belgium can be convinced potentially, and with any luck Orban would be heading to prison next year, so Hungary wouldn't be vetoing Eurobonds.

> The Chinese gave the exact same ultimatum as the US to European leadership, and so are the Indians as part of the FTA negotiation.

What ultimatum? To drop DSA? Source?

> They absolutely are in R&D and IP, but their production will not scale out until 2029-35, at which point it would be too late.

Production of what? This is so industry and company specific that I struggle taking you seriously just throwing random years like that for everything. And in any case one the major weapon of the war is drones, for which manufacturing is mostly local in Ukraine. There are a million other things that go into a war machine, but pretending that the second US cuts supplies Ukraine has to surrender is disingenuous.

This is early days, too. We're probably going to get better at this across more domains.

Local AI will eventually be booming. It'll be more configurable, adaptable, hackable. "Free". And private.

Crude APIs can only get you so far.

I'm in favor of intelligent models like Nano Banana over ComfyUI messes (the future is the model, not the node graph).

I still think we need the ability to inject control layers and have full access to the model, because we lose too much utility by not having it.

I think we'll eventually get Nano Banana Pro smarts slimmed down and running on a local machine.

The US economy is basically one big pyramid scheme that has been divided amongst several cartels. If you try to exit or interrupt the momentum, they get very mad and pull the levers on the various influence channels they also own (industry, media, government, etc.). Individual consumers are then frightened, overwhelmed, or priced out of change, assuming they’re even aware of it.

As an aside, when I was a kid, people had the idea that it was unsafe to operate a garage door opener outside of visual range, since the operator had a responsibility to make sure it was safe. It's interesting how that idea vanished and now it is just about monetizing convenience.

The same way we can glue a tilt-sensor to a garage door to integrate with a random home alarm or automation system, isn't the end game here to just glue on a little networked actuator that presses the wall-mounted door button inside the garage?

> It's extremely uncommon for the court to issue an opinion with such large repercussions.

Like Dobbs (Abortion), Bruen (Guns), Students for Fair Admissions (Affirmative Action), Loper Bright, Destruction of the voting rights act, Trump is king, etc

This supreme court issues at least one opinion with massive repercussions each term, every term. I simply don't know how you are under the impression that they care about repercussions in the slightest. They don't much care for rationale explanation or precedent either.

> Belgium can be convinced potentially

They cannot. The Belgian government has categorically rejected expropriation 3 days ago because the ECB rejected providing any funding, and Euroclear has announced it will fight the EU in Belgian court if any steps are taken to do so [2] with Belgian govenenent backing [4], so those funds would anyhow be frozen for years.

You aren't even reading any of my citations.

> Orban would be heading to prison next year, so Hungary wouldn't be vetoing Eurobonds

We still have Slovakia [3].

> What ultimatum? To drop DSA? Source

Over other regulations like CBAM [0]. The same way the US is playing hard ball over the DSA, China+India are playing hard ball over CBAM.

> Leonardo is Italian with significant presence in the UK

Yep, and as a result needs to continue to follow UK specific regulations and export controls [1], but being a single overarching conglomerate makes it significantly easier to manage the GCAP project, versus FCAS which became a Renault-Airbus spat which turned into a France-Germany spat.

> but pretending that the second US cuts supplies Ukraine has to surrender is disingenuous.

EU leadership has admitted this fact [5] and even best case projections [6] show it is a Herculean task in the next 1 year.

They're doing something with neural compression, not classical techniques.

Let's say you have this (modified from `git rebase --help`):

``` A---B---C main \ D---E---F feature1 \ \---G---H feature2 \ \---I---J feature3 ```

(sorry about the formatting here. I guess you'll have to copy & paste it to read it)

What I'm saying is that if I want to fix something in D, I do `jj new D` to create a new commit on top of D. Then I make the fix, run tests, etc., and then I run `jj squash` to amend the changes into D. The descendant commits (E through J) then get automatically rebased and the feature bookmarks/branches get updated.

I didn't follow what you about it other changes needed for updating the ancestor. Can you explain in the context of this example?

Sure, I'ld rather be doomscrolling on tiktok than being stuck for 4 years in trenches in France during WW1, we are talking about larger trend across time though.

> I just don't trust any measure that's over 20 years old.

Then take psychological measures that are 20 years old or less, they all go in the same direction.

Or if you don't trust psychology, take suicide rate, pretty hard to miscount, and is not subject to much change in how people self-report whether or not they killed themselves.

You seem to be conflating how you think people ought to feel given their privileged conditions versus how they actually happen to feel.

I'm glad I asked the question, and I thank you for responding, but come on, don't you think it's not just a stretch but just flat out false to go from Homeland Security's quote of "Despite FALSE claims by sanctuary politicians and the media, 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens who have been charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S." to "ICE cannot legally arrest people who are citizens for no reason, and yet they have done exactly that 30% of the time by their own admission." Like it's hard for me to even imply good faith if that's the stretch you made.

As the other commenter wrote, ICE is saying that 70% of arrests have a criminal conviction, implying something other than just being in the country illegally. First, many illegal aliens (e.g. those who overstay their visas) have not committed any criminal offense - overstaying a visa is a civil charge.

Yes, I do admit there is wiggle room for ICE to make it sound like all the people they are arresting are rapists and murderers (crossing the border illegally is itself a criminal offense), and as you point out, the Cato institute and many others have pointed out that high percentages of those deported don't have other criminal convictions. And given how much wide reporting there's been about how the administration is dissatisfied with the pace of deportations, it's clear there is pressure and incentive for ICE to deport as many people as possible.

So you can make all those valid arguments. Falsely stating (i.e. "making up" or "lying") that 30% of ICE arrests are citizens with no convictions doesn't help your point.

To provide some opinionated context for this unhinged rant:

The community developing nix had a falling out with a couple highly unsavory groups that basically consisted of the Palmer Lucky Slaughter Bot Co. and a couple guys who keep trying to monetize the project in extremely sleazy ways. This wasn't some sort of Stalinistic purge, it was people rejecting having their name attached to actual murder and sleazy profiteering.

> What is the dreaded UB? I think the best way to understand it is to remember that, for any running program, there are FATES WORSE THAN DEATH.

I love this. I'm gonna steal this :)

> I’m not the first person to pick on this particular Github comment, but it perfectly illustrates the conceptual density of Rust:

The overall point here is fair, but I think it's important to clarify that (iiuc) this comment is talking about a "soundness hole". Soundness holes are cases where there's a bug in the compiler or in a library that allows someone to commit UB without writing `unsafe`. Given the goals of Rust, it doesn't matter how ungodly complicated and contrived the example is. If it produces UB without `unsafe`, then it's a bug that needs to be fixed. In practice, that means a lot of issue threads about soundness involve mind-numbing code samples that mash different features together in unintuitive ways.

But that's a good thing! No one's saying you'll ever need to look at code like this in the wild. They're saying that no matter how hard you (or your coworkers or your dependencies) try, Rust should never fail to protect memory safety in safe code.

Assuming that it's "so unlikely because Carol" seems to be the mistake.

No matter what name is picked for a fictional protagonist, some people will match it. If it's a real name, then people have it, pretty much by definition.

But, this doesn't really reflect one way or the other on this story being true or not. The mistake is in thinking that it does.

Agree with this. I'm a software engineer that has mostly not had to manage memory for most of my career.

I asked Opus how hard it would be to port the script extender for Baldurs Gate 3 from Windows to the native Linux Build. It outlined that it would be very difficult for someone without reverse engineering experience, and correctly pointed out they are using different compilers, so it's not a simple mapping exercise. It's recommendation was not to try unless I was a Ghrida master and had lots of time in my hands.

The offer makes sense if you don’t treat as a straightforward attempt to buy WBD. The proposal itself creates advantages long before the deal closes.

What matters:

- Strategic signaling: Submitting a bid instantly places Netflix in the same acquisition arena as Amazon and Apple. In other words, it’s good PR.

- Access to real diligence: A signed agreement gives Netflix a look inside WBD’s business. Even if everything falls apart, the information has value.

- Pressure on competitors: The bid forces others to act or sit still. Netflix gets to watch how serious each player is.

- Reverse fee as escape valve: A large break fee functions like insurance. If regulators turn the deal into a grind, Netflix can pay the fee and walk away without carrying the wreckage.

- Positioning for the aftermath: If the process damages WBD’s stock and the deal collapses, Netflix has a cleaner path to revisit individual assets later.

- Regulatory posturing: Even if the deal never closes, the offer forces agencies to treat Netflix as a potential consolidator. By proposing to buy all of WBD, Netflix shifts the Overton window by anchoring the conversation at “full acquisition.” Whatever pushback Netflix gets now becomes the map for every deal it tries later.

All of this happens before a single regulator approves anything.

The reverse fee is the cost of the offer, which is roughly 1 percent of Netflix’s market cap.

In practice, that’s the price of buying information at scale, along with the PR and regulatory positioning that come bundled with the offer.

I don't think you can know what unwrap does and assume it is safe. Plus warnings about unwrap are very common in the Rust community, I even remember articles saying to never use it.

I have always been critical of the Rust hype but unwrap is completely fine. Is an escape hatch has legitimate uses. Some code is fine to just fail.

It is easy to spot during code review. I have never programmed Rust professional and even I would have asked about the unwrap in the cloudfare code if I had reviewed that. You can even enforce to not use unwrap at all through automatic tooling.

No, ads are not the same thing as free speech at all. "Free speech" is the right to say anything to anyone *who is willing to listen*. You don't have a right to come into my home and tell me your ideas about immigration policy - though you do have a right to talk about immigration policy in other places!

The government has to guarantee that there are places for people to say things. But the government does not have to guarantee that there are places for people to say things *in my own home*. And similarly, I think most public spaces should be free from ads and other 'attention pollution'. If a company wants to write about their own product, that's fine, but they must do so in a place where other people are free to seek them out, as opposed to doing so in a way that forces the writing upon others without consent.
Show HN: SideSpark – A Local, Private AI Note Taker for macOS

Hey HN, I built SideSpark because I was frustrated with cloud note-taking tools and their subscription creep.

Oh that's one of the best news in the smartphone world in a long time.

It's impossible to escape the Apple/Google duopoly but at least GrapheneOS makes the most out of Android regarding privacy.

I still wish we could get some kind of low resource, stable and mature Android clone instead of Google needlessly increasing complexity but this will over time break app compatibility (Google will make sure of it)

Edit: I do think Pixel devices used to be one of the best but still I'd like to choose my hardware and software separately interoperating via standards

Suppose the guy behind this website keeps a log of the requests, even accidentally, and eventually gets bought out by Flock themselves (websites critical of companies selling out is unfortunately common). Now Flock has a list of plates of people alert to flock and this gets added to your Palintir threat matrix, so the next time a cop pulls you over for some minor infraction his computer can prime him to be jumpy and trigger happy by labelling you as a potential dissident.

But look at figure 8. At 40%, volumetric efficiency is at its peak. It's very important to note that these results are neither monotonic nor linear, so while the public only has access to E85 and E10/E15 (at least where I've been), those are almost ends of extremes and a middle ground can synergize. Yes some metrics always get worse the more ethanol you use, but hopefully you looked at the paper and saw that isn't nearly the full story.
by photochemsyn | 2025-12-06 17:51:49+00:00
I generally agree, but as a caveat sometimes it's cheaper, more robust and more efficient to build an integrated system without having to worry about interoperability. BYD's electric vehicle chasis for example, seems to greatly cut manufacturing costs, even if it makes swap-in repairs harder down the road.

But, I'd guess this accounts for a relatively small fraction of corporate decision on lock-in strategies for rent extraction - advanced users should be able to treat their cell phones OS like laptops, with the same basic concepts, eg just lock down the firmware for the radio output, to keep the carriers happy, and open everything else, maybe with a warranty void if you swap out your OS. Laws are needed for that, certainly.

The only thing proprietary in the early PC architecture was the BIOS. Everything else was pre-existing architecture from third parties, there was nothing to keep a lid on.

Since a PC was a big box of parts anyone could manufacture one. A modern phone is much more complicated.

As to why there aren’t a plethora: the market doesn’t demand it that much. The people doing it aren’t wildly successful. Perhaps that’s changing (I hope so) but I know very few people outside this community who have ever thought “I wish I could have a third party version of Android”.

The company making a device that is licensed by the FCC has to do everything that they can to mitigate the risk of an unlicensed broadcast on their devices.

https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/rfdevice

> INTENTIONAL RADIATORS (Part 15, Subparts C through F and H)

> An intentional radiator (defined in Section 15.3 (o)) is a device that intentionally generates and emits radio frequency energy by radiation or induction that may be operated without an individual license.

> Examples include: wireless garage door openers, wireless microphones, RF universal remote control devices, cordless telephones, wireless alarm systems, Wi-Fi transmitters, and Bluetooth radio devices.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A...

Other countries have similar regulations.

PCs don't have that restriction.

You might be able to get to the point where you have a broadcast license and can get approved to transmit in the cellphone radio spectrum and get FCC approval for doing so with your device... but if you were to distribute it and someone else was easily able to modify it who wasn't licensed and made it into a jammer you would also be liable.

The scale that the cellphone companies work at such liability is not something that they are comfortable with. So the devices they sell are locked down as hard as they can to make it clear that if someone was to modify a device they were selling it wasn't something that they intended or made easy.

> But Trump and Vance have completely changed how Europeans see the US. Now everyone knows that they're no longer a partner. There is no going back on this.

Exactly. Europeans believe we are not partners any more and that we never will be. There’s really no reason for us to send anything to Ukraine. When we were partners it made sense but as you point out, Europeans don’t believe that’s the case. So I think it’s time to move on and stop trying to force an alliance that doesn’t want to be together.

We should disband NATO and adjust to the new world order where Europe and the US are not allies, just participants in a multipolar world. If Europeans want to fight Europeans, we should let them work it out.

It’s not our business and they don’t want us in it. The allies we pick should be ones who want to be allied with us. America lost four hundred thousand men for your last internal conflict. We requested and got a token few thousand men over all the times we needed you. The debt will remain unpaid. And that’s okay.

You don’t want us and we don’t want you. It’s time to get a divorce.
Show HN: Manifesto – An AI-Native UI Framework Intent-to-State, Not Text-to-App
by eggplantiny | 2025-12-06 17:54:35+00:00
Hi HN,

I'm the creator of Manifesto AI.

I've noticed that while LLMs are getting smarter, their ability to interact with complex Web UIs is still fragile. Agents usually have to "guess" DOM selectors or rely on vision, which leads to hallucinations and broken workflows.

I realized that for AI to be useful in SaaS/B2B software, we don't need "Generative UI" (Text-to-App); we need a deterministic "State Layer" that agents can understand and control directly.

So I built Manifesto. It's a schema-first UI engine where:

1. You define the form/UI as a JSON Schema.

2. The engine renders it (React/Vue).

3. Crucially, it exports a "Semantic Snapshot" to the AI Agent.

Instead of parsing pixels, the Agent receives a clean JSON state (values, validation rules, available actions) and dispatches "Intents" (e.g., `setValue`, `submit`) to the engine.

Disclaimer: I built the core engine and this demo in just 4 days. It is currently in a very early Alpha (v0.1) stage.

I’m sharing this early because I want to validate if this "Intent-to-State" architecture makes sense to other developers.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the approach. Roast my code or the concept!

Demo: https://playground.manifesto-ai.dev

Repo: https://github.com/manifesto-ai/core
