FWIW I think I just listed a set of circumstances that happen every time there is a drop in housing prices historically, at least going back to the 90's savings and loan crisis. I'll tell you when people found Bay Area houses more affordable? 2009-2012. And during that time the unemployment rate was at roughly 10 or 12% (had to look it up just now but knew it was around there). Housing prices during that same time? Dropped as low as 40-50% in some parts of the Bay (best case they were down 20%+). 10x stock needed? No. A job? Yes. You can repeat the exercise for the start of Covid, but the timeline for the drop in prices, and the % drop, was muted in comparison to the housing crisis. Same for S&L crisis. Dotcom bust too, though, again, housing prices didn't crater like the housing crisis.
Show HN: PublishRelay – Sync WordPress posts to Medium with canonical links
by StealthyStart | 2025-12-01 21:04:07+00:00
Hi HN, I built this because I kept manually copying blog posts from WordPress into Medium and kept worrying about duplicate content and broken formatting.

PublishRelay.com connects to a WordPress site and a Medium account, then syncs new posts automatically using Medium’s official API. It sets the canonical URL back to the original WordPress post and preserves basic formatting like headings, images, lists, and code blocks.

You can try it by:

Connecting a WordPress site (plugin)

Authorizing a Medium account

Creating a test post in WordPress and watching it sync

There is a free tier to try the app, no credit card needed.

Happy to answer: • How the canonical handling works in practice • API limits and failure modes • What breaks with complex WordPress themes • Whether this actually helps or hurts SEO in real-world use

This is a small side project that grew out of our own content workflow.
Ask HN: Does cross-posting to Medium still help, or does it just dilute SEO now?
by StealthyStart | 2025-12-01 21:04:39+00:00
I’m building a small tool that syncs WordPress posts to Medium using canonical URLs to preserve SEO. Before I go further, I’d love perspectives from people who actively publish:

• Is Medium still worth distributing to in 2025? • Have canonical links actually protected your SEO in practice? • Do you cross-post manually, with scripts, or not at all?

I’m trying to avoid building something people used to want but no longer do.

Oh wow, someone made a call.

Original full title of TFA:

> Trump says he’ll release MRI results but doesn’t know what part of his body was scanned

New title at AP News is:

> Doctor says Trump had preventative screening MRI on heart, abdomen with ‘perfectly normal’ results

We live in a complete joke, like a Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" style joke.

Apple has built an entire alternative iMessage+iCloud setup in China to comply with government regulation. They also bowed to the UK's demands to disable E2EE backups.

They'll probably try to make the app as non-shitty as they possibly can, and will probably leverage all kinds of geographical restrictions and whatnot to isolate the impact of these changes, but when threatened with a large market share hit, Apple will comply.

It is a similar example. Just like you and I have different options about whether Walmart is a net benefit or net detriment to society, people have starkly different opinions as to whether LLMs are a net benefit or net detriment to society.

People who believe it's a net detriment don't want to be a part of enabling that, even at cost to themselves, while those who think it's a net benefit or at least neutral, don't have a problem with it.

Aka Republicans being pissy about the ACA (despite having come up with no feasible alternative plan at the time and unanimously voting against it even after it incorporated Republican characteristics) and choosing to try to intentionally financially torpedo it so they could campaign on its failure.

I'm pretty centrist, but the sheer evil of fucking over a country's access to health services for political points is appalling.

Especially since, you know, coming up with an alternative plan was eminently doable -- just not a priority for Republican leadership (then or "we have an idea of a plan" now).

Because I don't think there is a max price. Like of course there is in practice case by case because individuals don't have infinite money but nobody wants to be told "sorry, we can treat your condition but we're not going to because you're not valuable enough to society to get it." The episode Critical Care in Voyager muses on what such a system looks like formalized and it's awful.

And I think what makes it so that we're resistant to caps is because it's not just rare diseases you could write off as unlikely to ever get that are ruinously expensive and it's likely that in everyone's social sphere they know multiple people personally who've had "blown out their out of pocket max by factors of 5-10x" medical issues. It's a this really can happen to you thing.

So I think if your goal is to reduce healthcare costs on a nation scale your only option is make it so your people develop health problems less and tackle the smaller but much much much more frequent expenses. Things like ending the caps on the number of doctors, giving nurse practitioners full prescribing rights, moving more medications OTC, ending drug patent loopholes or for critical medications or "buying out" the patient so it can be immediately be made generic, adding more restrictions to testing so doctors have to actually think before ordering every test under the sun because it's not their money, massively reducing the regulations on medical devices, I could go on forever.

Stupid unnecessary expense times your population is way more money than the treatment for some rare disease.

coding was never supposed to be fun, it was supposed to be instrumental

you interface with a machine to get the machine to do what you, a human, want it to do relevant to your human purposes

but out of necessity - turns out we need to control a lot of machines - we made the act ergonomic

this fit the aesthetic of some people. All to do with them and little to do with the act. Akin to alchemists or other purveyors of exotic knowledge, the relevance of their skill always had a countdown on it

all that's left is to circle back. Coding is instrumental. Now our alchemy is one more level abstracted from the artifice of the machine. Good. It's closer to people now - like management, now. That's bad for the current generation of alchemist but good for the world

earnest RIP. On the upside, there's always a next generation

...to stick to the 1/3 rule.

When did that become the rule? Why, back in my day, 25% was the max amount recommended to spend on housing. Though that was also back when no one would even think of taking out a 72 month car loan. Maybe one of those new 60 month loans, if you just don't have the money, otherwise stick to 36 months.

And like you, I just don't get it. 1/3 on the house, whatever percentage comes out for the $40K car @ 72 months (granted, one doesn't need to buy new), where's this money coming from? We live in Redmond (WA), and I'm at a loss as to how there are so many newer Teslas parked in >$1MM houses. C'mon, there's only so many of those $500K total comp jobs to go around.

I have no real knowledge of React from the developer side, but as an ordinary user who occasionally pokes around in dev tools to assign blame, React clearly is failing at Simplicity.

There are so many React websites where I see weird update bugs (e.g. updates for some parts of the page delayed by 3 seconds [not blocking render, the rest of the page is updating], or total wipe of something instead of incremental upgrades - weren't these the very problems React was supposed to solve?).

Mere excessive bloatedness I don't blame React for; all sorts of web dev fails at that.

===

The main question I have for Remix is: does the explicit `.update` trigger immediately, or does it wait so it can coalesce multiple updates?

Good point, I was assuming the GP was running local for some reason. Hard to argue when it's the official providers who are being compared.

I ran the 1.58-bit Unsloth quant locally at the time it came out, and even at such low precision, it was super rare for it to get something wrong that o1 and GPT4 got right. I have never actually used a hosted version of the full DS.

I run a bunch of smaller models on a 12gb vram 3060 and it's quite good. For larger open models ill use open router. I'm looking into on- demand instances with cloud/vps providers, but haven't explored the space too much.

I feel like private cloud instances that run on demand is still in the spirit of consumer hobbyist. It's not as good as having it all local, but the bootstrapping cost plus electricity to run seems prohibitive.

I'm really interested to see if there's a space for consumer TPUs that satisfy usecases like this.

You're clutching this complaint about editorialization like a soccer player faking an injury but facts don't care about your feelings: Trump's speech wasn't just incendiary as fuck (I've listened to it in whole), it did incite a violent mob that broke into the capitol and chanted "Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!" as they carried a hastily constructed noose and gallows around capitol hill.

Meanwhile, there is no factual basis for Trump's claims at all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-election_lawsuits_related...

Your team had 60 chances to make factual arguments of any length using any evidence and witnesses and they failed every one of significance, even in front of Trump's DOJ and judges appointed by Trump!

What's the evidence that he wasn't just wrong but intentionally wrong? Oh, only a hundred things: we have Steve Bannon saying he planned to declare victory regardless of the outcome because there was no reason not to do it, we have the emails where John Eastman set up the fake elector plan and complained when Mike Pence wouldn't help with it, we have the fake certifications signed by the fake electors, we have the emails from Ken Chesborough setting up the signings, hell, Mike Pence went on Fox and said Trump ordered him to overturn the election results. We have Trump standing by as his mob ransacked the capitol for hours while he hoped Pence would change his mind before at long last giving up and calling them off.

The contents of that speech are one of the most documented false arguments in history and it should be a huge reality check for you that you're ignoring this to pearl clutch about something that, at worst, would have been a million times less consequential. But it won't be, because you're a partisan hack and we both know it.

Strangely, the only difference on the flags is that AF (auxiliary carry) is undefined for `xor eax, eax` but guaranteed to be zeroed for `sub eax, eax`. I don't know what that means in practice, though I'm guessing that at the very least the hardware would not treat it as a dependency on the previous value.

> For example, a Linux distro running on WSL can (and will) use GPU partitioning (aka PCI/GPU passthrough) and a special implementation of DirectX

That is still just a normal VM, but it's nice that it's automated.

> enabling the installed video card to accelerate graphics within X and/or Wayland.

nit: X and/or Wayland is not involved in application rendering at all - its applications themselves that use the GPU and its acceleration directly.

Wayland and/or X is only involved when the apps are all done rendering[0], and the display servers own rendering is the comparatively simple task of stitching windows together[1], and sometimes not even that.

0: You can send buffers early over Wayland if you also send a sync fence, but this is just forwarded as a render dependency that the GPU scheduler will patiently wait for.

1: well also dealing with stuff like color transforms which can be complex to understand, but are computationally cheap and for fullscreen content possibly entirely free.

Yeah, this is pretty clear. The community for any competitive game if you are a member of the top 100 players is always amazing. These players play the most, they end of seeing each other over and over, and you build up a rapport with the other players and can start to play against specific peoples play-styles.

However, for the vast vast majority of the player-base who is top 50% in skill, the fat normal distribution nearly guarantees that most of the people they play against will never be seen again. And therefore there is no harm for them not to be toxic to them, so most people only ever experience toxicity in online competitive games.

Server browser games solve this because players end up with "home" servers where they come back to over and over, and over time build communities who do the same. This was taken away from the players when we moved to matchmaking, and many in the player-base have a bias against matchmaking because of it.

But this is in no way required, and merely a result of gaming companies to do any work on this front. It would be extremely easy for these games to add an arbitrary community tag to the matchmaker that would attempt to put people in games with players that they have not previously reported. The matchmaker might take a little bit more time, but since these players are in the fat normal distribution, their average matchmaking times will still be incredibly low.

Love these slides, hard agree on _all_ points. But, be absolutely certain on the culture before you start declining meetings, even if for valid reasons like outlined in this presentation. Declining meetings can be seen as a negative, "not a team player", thing... and, I really have to be certain on my leadership, the company, and the context before I push back on someone wanting my time. Even if their request for my time was arbitrary, or useless.

Sorry, but that doesn't seem "ridiculously sensitive" to me at all. Imagine if you went to Amazon.com and there was a button you could press to get it to pseudo-psychoanalyze you based on your purchases. People would rightly hate that! People probably ought to be sensitive to megacorps using buckets of algorithms to psychoanalyze them.

For the live activities, we used expo-apple-targets. That helps bootstrap it, link assets, etc. The UI itself is SwiftUI. The hard part here was actually the server-driven events for the activities during the stream. Live activities can be annoying to work with using APNs.

Are these what backdoors are? It's an app. It can be uninstalled, right? Are there physical backdoors like American agency NSA tried to install? Or like the Chinese phones that many suspect?

Show HN: ICT – New Information Model for Matter Time Consciousness (Experiment)
by DmitriiBaturoIC | 2025-12-01 21:11:51+00:00
TL;DR: ICT (Information–Consciousness–Time) treats matter as fixed information, consciousness as the rate of informational change, and time as the structuring of this change. The model unexpectedly drew interest from researchers in information physics (feedback below) and includes three concrete falsifiable experiments.

1. Core Idea

Three base relations:

1. Matter = fixed information M = I_fixed

2. Consciousness = rate of informational change C ∝ dI/dT

3. Reality = interaction of stable and flowing information R = f(I_fixed, dI/dT)

This connects to Landauer’s limit, free-energy principle, Bekenstein bounds, and integrated-information concepts, but treats information itself as the fundamental physical substrate.

2. Time as informational process

In ICT, time is:

> “The transition of potential information into structured experience.”

This links phenomenological time, physical time, and informational/computational time. Consciousness “shapes” this transition → generating an effective local arrow of time.

3. Experimental roadmap (falsifiable)

1. C ∝ dI/dT — Neuroenergetic test of consciousness speed Multilevel oddball / sequence-learning tasks with controlled entropy and update rate. EEG/MEG + metabolic markers test whether higher dI/dT increases energetic cost and large-scale neural integration.

2. R = f(I) — “Structure without energy” Equal energy input, but different informational structure (compressible vs pseudorandom) in sensory/light patterns. If informational form matters, outcomes (neural/behavioral/physico-chemical) should differ despite equal power.

3. M = I_fixed — Energetic price of information fixation Write/erase cycles across substrates (DRAM/Flash, memristors/PCM, spintronic media, possibly neural cultures) to estimate energy-per-bit thresholds at which information becomes “stable,” probing matter-as-stabilized-information.

4. Independent feedback

A researcher specializing in information physics & the nature of time (background: MSU’s “Institute for Time Nature Explorations,” EE, systemic research) reviewed ICT on Academia.edu.

Key excerpts:

“The author proposes a highly interesting approach to the relationship between matter, consciousness and information, incorporating the complex concept of time.”

“‘Matter as fixed information’ opens a path toward an information physics of consciousness.”

“The experimental framework is clear and promising.”

— Irina L. Zerchaninova, researcher in information physics & time studies

5. Why I’m posting on Hacker News

ICT sits at the intersection of physics, computation, philosophy of mind, information theory, and AGI. I’m looking for technical critique.

> It doesn’t matter what the app does today it can be made to do anything they want after the fact.

This is an extremely important point of universal application that can't be emphasized too much.

Even if one agrees with a current politician's position, once the precedent is set, there's nothing stopping an administration down the line extending the reach of an already installed and by then socially accepted mechanism.

Someone called this the "totalitarian tip toe"; that guy (who shall rename unnamed) was "a bit weird", but his concept stands anyway imo.

This article makes no sense. Just don't use AI and code by hand if that makes you happy.

When I want to stimulate my brain coding, I do things like AOC or Euler, and when I want to test out a quick prototype app I have AI do all the grunt work of setting it up and getting it to a point to see if I even think it's a good idea or not.
