FIFA has been doing damage containment (everybody is but especially FIFA) ever since the November election.

When the World CUp was assigned to the US during Trump first term one of the implied things was that he'd be long gone in 2026

Nobody could have possibly predicted 12 years of Trumpism and pulling a Grover Clevalend by skipping a term and getting re-elected

Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg have invested in the mineral exploration company KoBold Metals in 2019, and the company began drilling in Greenland in August 2022.

Peter Thiel backed Praxis, a startup that envisions building a semi-autonomous, low-regulation "network city" in Greenland. The vision is led by Praxis co-founder Dryden Brown, who sees Greenland as an ideal testing ground for a future Mars colony. Praxis has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, however, the proposal faces significant opposition from unexpectedly Greenlandic and Danish politicians.

And then there's this:

I disagree. I really want a Lightning but live in a very rural place, weekend in an even more rural place, and need to pull a trailer pretty often.

I already have a plug-in hybrid that gets 40+ miles/charge and have opined all over the internet that the perfect car is one that gets 100+ miles/charge before firing any gas engine.

It sounds like the next Lightning will give me that though I don’t put much stock in their promises. Personally the Scout is too bougie but it does similarly.

Both extreme leftism and extreme rightism are composed of the same people - more focused on ideology rather than truth, and authoritarian control rather than voice of reason.

In the middle, there is an acceptable range of compromise. Social media is the new town square. People shouldn't be able to post stuff on there without recourse for lying and spreading misinformation, just like they shouldn't be able to do this in public. History shows that this leads to bad outcomes. Also, history also shows that we can't just have personal freedoms unrestricted.

And just because that "freedom" is being taken away, doesn't mean that the leftists are in charge.

> got confused by the AI sections...

You're not the only one... At some point last year, we discovered that CI/CD workflows and so-called "AI agent workflows" have a lot in common, and Dagger can in theory be used as an execution engine for both. We attempted to explain this - "great for CI/CD and for Agents!". But the feedback was mostly negative - it came across as confusing and lacking focus. So, we are rolling back this messaging and refocusing on CI/CD again. If you haven't checked our docs in the latest 12 hours, it's worth checking again: you'll see clear signs of this refocusing (although we are not done).

In doubt, I recommend joining our public discord server (https://discord.com/invite/dagger-io) it is basically a support group for CI/CD nerds who believe that a better way is possible, and want to discuss it with like-minded people.

Thanks for the kind words!

Software development compensation in the US id very much bi modal.

Most developers in the US work at banks, insurance companies, etc - “the enterprise” - in tier 2 cities. Those developers usually max out at around $160K-$175K or less and it hasn’t kept up with inflation. I did all of my “enterprise dev” up until 2020 in Atlanta. You can look at the compensation of well known Atlanta companies like Delta, Coke and Home Depot. You will see the same pattern in most other cities in the US outside of the west coast and NYC

Enterprise devs if they remain so will probably never crack $200K inflation adjusted. I don’t know any of my friends/former coworkers who are still software developers in their 40s who still live and work in Atlanta who are making over $160K. They are doing well enough though being married with two incomes.

The problem on that end is that it is easy enough to be a good enough generic CRUD LOB developer, it started being commoditized around 2015 and comp stagnated on the high end.

FWIW, I pivoted to cloud consulting specializing in app dev when a (full time with the standard 4 year comp structure) when a remote position at AWS ProServe fell into my lap (still work in consulting - not at AWS). We moved to state tax free Florida in 2022

On another note, it still doesn’t make sense to hire juniors. The difference in comp for a junior dev and senior dev on the enterprise /small SaaS startup side is at most 60K if you stay out of SFBay or NYC and set up shop in a second tier city. You probably won’t need the route. Look at the laughable comp being offered by most early YC startups. No statistically worthless illiquid equity in a private company is not what I consider “compensation”

Yes, obviously, but they don't make the chips, so can't you just source the exact same chip, make thing pin compatible and call it a day? Then you'd have a drop in replacement, any changes you make will cause disruption for people downstream.

"pwsh" is often used as the short-hand for modern cross-platform PowerShell to better differentiate it from the old Windows-only PowerShell.

I think pwsh is worth exploring. It is cross-platform. It is post-Python and the Python mantra that "~~code~~ scripts are read more often than they are written". It provides a lot of nice tools out of the box. It's built in an "object-oriented" way, resembling Python and owing much to C#. When done well the "object-oriented" way provides a number of benefits over "dumb text pipes" that shells like bash were built on. It is easy to extend with C# and a few other languages, should you need to extend it.

I would consider not dismissing it off hand without trying it just because Microsoft built it and/or that it was for a while Windows-only.

I would not say that Project Veritas acted illegally in this case, although I have absolutely no love for them and I think they have acted illegally and immorally in other cases. In the end the Justice Department did not bring charges.

You absolutely can't offer someone money to steal documents. That's clear. Even providing advice on acquiring documents is probably going to be unlawful. And if possession of the document itself is otherwise illegal (i.e., CSAM) there's no protection there.

It isn't necessarily illegal to offer money for a document, particularly if you don't have knowledge of how the document was acquired. I'm not familiar enough with this case to have a strong opinion other than knowing the DoJ elected not to bring charges.

And, yes, it was Trump's DoJ. In this case I'm unaware of any evidence that the decision was politically motived and I still have some confidence that whistleblowers would speak out, particularly given the recent wave of resignations due to directives in Minneapolis. I think people of good will could disagree with me there for sure.

Yeah, it's funny, I never went down the regex rabbit hole until this, but I was blown away by Hyperscan/Vectorscan. It truly changes the game. Traditional wisdom tells you regex is slow.

> I'm surprised it's only 40%.

Oh, it's worse. I'm being conservative in the post. That number represents "pure" waste without sampling. You can see how we classify it: https://docs.usetero.com/data-quality/logs/malformed-data. If you get comfortable with sampling the right way (entire transactions, not individual logs), that number gets a lot bigger. The beauty of categories is you can incrementally root out waste in a way you're comfortable with.

> compare logs from known good to known bad

I think you're describing anomaly detection. Diffing normal vs abnormal states to surface what's different. That's useful for incident investigation, but it's a different problem than waste identification. Waste isn't about good vs bad, it's about value: does this data help anyone debug anything, ever? A health check log isn't anomalous, it's just not worth keeping.

You're right that the dimensional analysis and pre-processing is where the real work is. That's exactly what Tero does. It compresses logs into semantic events, understands patterns, and maps meaning before any evaluation happens.

HTML (and XMLish syntax in general) is LISP syntax (not semantics) in disguise. A tag can be viewed as function application, with the attributes as named arguments and the elements as variadic arguments.

The example from the link's main page is equivalent to:

(button "Say something")
(on_click
(selection-insert-after
(div "Hello, World ")))

It did not contribute to a yes/no answer, which is good, because it is not answerable with "yes" or "no", and the article points that out and explains why. So I would disagree; it does contribute to answering the question, in the form of spelling out why it is unanswerable.

Compare:

"Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

"I do not beat my wife."

The response contributes to the answer, even if it brings you no closer to "yes" or "no".

Lifestyle sells.

I drive a wagon. Of course wagon owners talk about the utility. And yet, you can buy a wagon with a twin-turbo V8 engine. What's the "sportwagon" segment all about? Certainly not going to Home Depot to buy four toilets for the new house, it's about putting your $15,000 Cannondale Black Ink MTB on the roof and swanking up to the trailhead.

I think youtube has been a net good. The content today is far greater than the content in 2005 or 2008 mostly due to the financial incentives.

The barriers to advertising have been lowered and we've seen a ton of small business growth from social media platforms like instagram, tiktok. Sure there are some cringe trends but to me they pale in comparison to the millions of people that have been enabled to make a living doing what they genuinely love.

It's all true, but if you think organizing photo archives is easy, boy have I got news for you.

Metadata, versions, version groupings, projects, albums, there is lots of structure that most people don't realize exists.

Think every picture has an EXIF date and that's the date when it was taken? Think again. Scanning date is not the same as picture date.

Actually, even if you think of a date, you probably imagine the usual ISO8601 2026-01-14T17:37:46Z date — how about when we only know a year? This is something Aperture didn't do either, but when dealing with photo archives what you want is arbitrary precision date intervals. E.g. 1900-1902 for example.

Anyway. Just pointing out that even though "just files on disk" is the right approach, managing those files and their metadata is far from obvious.

Show HN: AlgoMommy – Organize video clips by talking while recording (macOS)
by diarmuid_glynn | 2026-01-14 18:23:45+00:00
If you record videos regularly and end up with a messy clips folder, I built a macOS app to help.

AlgoMommy organizes raw video files into an existing folder hierarchy based on short spoken instructions you say inside the recording (e.g. “Hey Cleo, this is wedding B-roll - tag it green” or “Hey Cleo, this is a New York sunrise”). After recording, drop the clips into AlgoMommy; it listens for the instructions you said during recording and copies the files to the appropriate sub-folder.

Download (DMG):

- https://download.algomommy.com/app/macos/public/AlgoMommy-1....

- 492 MB - most of this is WhisperKit, signed & notarized

- sha256: de354d073467aece719433f170f1886c5ab781835e4caccc4054827ee3320ee5

Demo video (48s):

- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucj-D9yOKBc

- Raw MP4: https://download.algomommy.com/public/AlgoMommy.mp4

Try it now:

1) Install the DMG and log in with this shared demo account:

user: hn@algomommy.com
pass: hnpass2026

2) Choose a target root folder (you currently need to pre-create your folder hierarchy).

3) Drag & drop a few videos and click "Organize videos"

Auth is required because the service uses paid LLM calls.

What leaves your machine / privacy:

- No raw video or audio is uploaded.

- Audio is extracted + transcribed locally.

- The only data sent is: (1) ~30s text transcription snippets for segments that appear to address “Cleo”, and (2) the list of relative destination folder paths under the root you selected (so the model can choose a folder).

- Those snippets are used to decide destination folder + tags/metadata.

Why “Cleo” (and why natural language):

- WhisperKit is accurate but slow, Apple's SpeechAnalyzer is fast but less accurate. AlgoMommy uses SpeechAnalyzer to quickly find "Cleo"-addressed segments, then re-transcribes just those ~30s chunks with WhisperKit for accuracy.

Safety:

- AlgoMommy only "copies" videos, it never "moves" / "overwrites" videos.

Inspiration:

- Initially this was a Python script for my partner, to solve this very issue. I subsequently decided to "productize" the solution as a macOS app.

I’m looking for feedback on:

1) Does this solve a significant problem for you?

2) Is the workflow clear and robust in real-world usage?

3) Today you must pre-create the folder hierarchy: is that acceptable, or should the app be able to create target folders in some cases? If folder creation is valuable, what rules would make it safe/predictable?

4) Any voice commands you’d want beyond “organize/tag this clip” (e.g. “start a new video file here”)?

Happy to answer questions and go deep on implementation details if anyone’s interested.

The Cybertruck isn't a "real" truck, but the vast majority of trucks never do real truck stuff anyway so that's not as big of a gotcha as people think. Hell, even F-150s and Dodge Rams and GMCs have stunted vestigial cargo beds now, they're more like minivan utes. How many trucks can you buy today that can fit a standard everyday 4x8 sheet and a load of 8' studs in the back and close the tailgate?

Following our #1 trending NeuTTS Air release in October, we’re pushing the limits of "small" even further. We’ve just released NeuTTS Nano, an ultra-lightweight speech foundation model under Apache 2.0.

The main idea: Frontier-quality text-to-speech with a tiny 120M active parameter footprint - 3x smaller than our previous model.

Why we built this: - Extreme Edge Deployment: At this size, real-time TTS is now viable on the most resource-constrained hardware, including older Raspberry Pis and mobile devices, without needing a local GPU; - Llama3 Architecture: Built off a Llama3-based LM + codec architecture, it maintains high-quality prosody and realism despite the 3x size reduction; - Privacy & Control: Full on-device inference means sensitive data never leaves the hardware, with zero API costs or rate limits; - Instant Cloning: Supports zero-shot voice cloning with as little as 3 seconds of audio.

Repo: https://github.com/neuphonic/neutts
HF: https://huggingface.co/neuphonic/neutts-nano

We’d love feedback from the HN community on performance benchmarks across different CPU architectures and edge devices.

Just before its release there was some press about a few high ups at Tesla who urged Elon to make a “traditional” looking pickup alongside the cyber truck in case it was a flip, but Elon shut them down hard.

I’d be really interested to know if they’re going to do that.

Were I to be supporting PP when Sanger was still alive, I would not have been enriching her, or enabling other things that she believed in (at least not to any extent that would trouble me). Mostly because PP has always been a not-for-profit organization.

Being a Starlink customer, to me, has a straight line connection to enabling that man to do all the things he does.

My experience in 2024 AI tools like copilot was if the code compiled first time it was an above average result and I’d need a lot of manual tweaking.

There were definitely languages where it worked better (JS), but if I told people here I had to spend a lot of time tweaking after it, at least half of them assumed I was being really anal about spacing or variable names, which was simply not the case.

It’s still the case for cheaper models (GPT-mini remains a waste of my timetime), but there’s mid level models like Minimax M2 that can produce working code and stuff like Sonnet can produce usable code.

I’m not sure the delta is enough for me that I’d pay for these tools on my own though…

> If the second amendment advocates cared as much about our protected rights as they claim, they’d be all over this.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Second Amendment, and all intersections with other civil rights are seen through our respective lenses.

There is a lot of attention being paid to this within that community, but it's largely supportive. Everything the left is upset about falls into two categories: it's either something with broad support (deportation of those not legally present) or there's more to the story that significantly changes the situation, at least from their perspective (Renee Good).

To be clear, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind or even state my own views with this comment; I'd just like the various sides to understand each other a bit better.

Willing to relocate: No
Technologies:Genetics (pro- and eu-karyotes), Biochemistry, Phage Display, Molecular diversity libraries, Recombinant antibodies, Immune-based techniques, Python/vibe coding, DNA/RNA manipulation, PCR-based techniques, Arrays, Proteomics, etc.
Résumé/CV: expert (>25 years) molecular bio researcher (PhD), with great hands-on wet-lab experience/capabilities, ample detailed knowledge of sophisticated and advanced molecular biology, immunology, and genetics techniques and excellent new experimental protocols development and implementation skills. Perhaps, one of most important highlights of my profile is that,

provided with proper tools for the job, I invariably found complete answers to the quest -large and small- I worked on (usually for cutting-edge labs and institutions, public or corporate).
At this time, actively seeking a decently-paid remote (because I am traveling often to Europe) position as employee, consultant or grant writer/collaborator, for any entity in the NYC area, preferably Queens, NY. Privates/investors are also welcome, i.e. to build a start-up. I have no specific preferences for the job, but any young project on, or any lab/company working on, lifespan elongation or immortality (physiological, not digital), or on limb and spinal cord regeneration, would more closely line-up with my personal scientific interests, goals and knowledge.

> “Wahhh I bought my car to make a statement and now it makes the wrong statement and I am self-conscious about it!!”

The correct interpretation for most people is "I bought my car because it was a good car and now for reasons beyond my control it may appear to be a political statement. Also sorry for giving that guy money, I didn't know he would spend it on Trump."

I understand you don't think it's a good car, which is fine, but most people who bought one did not agree with you.

Your comment is a little confusing because you obviously understand this concept, you bought a Prius because you thought it was a good car, not because of a political statement others may have projected onto your purchase. The same is true of most Tesla owners.

I will agree, that promoting a specific ideology will put one at odds. What if you learn about Ford's deleted documents? Home Depot's preferential treatment for some people over others? Does this change your position of the quality of their product? I personally can do business and work with people who are outspoken of their hate toward my belief. I am kept around because of my delivery, despite my religion, which I am thankful. I do not hide my faith within the company but I do not actively speak out because I am conducting professional work.

One of the problems described here seems to be that the people building the dashboards aren’t the ones adding the instrumentation. Admittedly I’ve only worked on one project that was all in on telemetry instead of using log analysis. And even that one had one foot in Splunk and one in Grafana, but I worked there long enough to see that we mostly only had telemetry for charts at least someone on call used regularly. I got most of them out of Splunk but that wasn’t that hard. We hadn’t bought enough horsepower from them that it didn’t jam up if too many people got involved in diagnosing production issues.

Occasionally I convinced them that certain charts were wrong and moved them to other stats to answer the same question, and some of those could go away.

I also wrote a little tool to extract all the stats from our group’s dashboard so we could compare used to generated and I cut I’d say about a third? Which is in line with his anecdote. I then gave it to OPs and announced it at my skip level’s staff meeting so other people could do the same.
