I mean it's pretty clear from the video that she and her wife were quite mad. They had been following ICE to multiple locations that day in an attempt to disrupt them and were blocking the roadway on purpose. Just because somebody says they aren't mad doesn't mean its true...

The person saying "Drive, baby drive" was her wife, not an agent.

She was clearly told 4 times to get out of the car in the seconds leading up to her pressing the accelerator. Can you please timestamp where some other agent told her to leave?

It is fundamentally and provably different than search because it captures things on two dimensions that can be used combinatorially to infer desired behavior for unobserved examples.

1. Conceptual Distillation - Proven by research work that we can find weights that capture/influence outputs that align with higher level concepts.

2. Conceptual Relations - The internal relationships capture how these concepts are related to each other.

This is how the model can perform acts and infer information way outside of it's training data. Because if the details map to concepts then the conceptual relations can be used to infer desirable output.

Neat! I have experimented with various ways to convert Go structs to/from TypeScript interfaces.

- https://quicktype.io/

- https://github.com/danielgtaylor/huma then OpenAPI -> TS

- https://github.com/gzuidhof/tygo

- https://github.com/coder/guts

guts also does some AST stuff.

It seems like this project could help with this and then some.

Wales is touchy about it because Sanger tried to impose his vision on the project and, when he couldn't, he quit before most of the actual work happened; then he started a competing project (which was predictably a total failure), and spent a ton of effort trash talking Wikipedia ("broken beyond repair") and trying to undermine it. Simultaneously, Sanger has been promoting himself as "cofounder of Wikipedia" for two decades, and interviewer after interviewer asks the same lazy questions about the subject, without ever adding any new insight.

(You can see that Sanger's ghost is chasing Wikipedia even into this discussion.)

It's beating a dead horse, and entirely off the topic of what the interview was supposed to be about. Answering the question correctly takes a lot of time and finesse, which is wasted on the interviewer and most of the audience.

Wales clearly screwed up in that interview, but it's not hard to see where he's coming from, psychologically.

Let me spell it out for you:

- Are zoning laws affecting only immigrant born population from buying, or simply everyone moving to SF for work?
- If the locals are preventing the foreigners to buy housing via zoning laws, then how did those immigrants manage to buy housing like you said?
- And once immigrants become citizens and homeowners, are you saying they don't vote for the same zoning laws that protect their housing investment just like the natives?

That's where your contradictions are, and this is my last response you get on this discussion, since it's clearly not going anywhere.

"Manipulated" has strong negative connotations, but it could just mean that the results are chosen and controlled by the search engine. In which case, it's a meaningless statement. The entire purpose of any search engine is to choose results for queries.

Or it can mean the results were altered from some ideal baseline algorithm that we consider unmanipulated. The only obvious candidate for this baseline would be the search engine's regular algorithm. But if you're saying that's not the baseline, then it's unclear what you consider to be the true baseline and therefore unclear what "manipulated" means.

I agree that countries may consider search engines, social media, or anything else that can affect flow of information to be a national security threat.

There is also the thought of too many people to help. Like right now there are thousands/millions of people starving is it my fault? Should I empty all of what I have to help them because I'm guilty if I don't. That's what I'm wrestling with granted what we're talking about is not the same thing. Handing somebody $5 and moving on is not that but yeah idk. I guess as a person that keeps giving shit out eg. $100K to my own family, it gets old.

But I will go out there, I'll see what happens. I need to face my fears.

> Not surprising! Are we setting aside how deceitful his answer his? Claiming all credit for a collaborative accomplishment -- which he does by adopting the "founder" title -- would rightfully provoke "poking" by interviewers.

I went down the rabbit hole on this a while back and came away with the impression that it's complicated. And whether or not Wales is being deceitful hinges on pedantic arguments and mincing of words. Should Wales be referred to as "a founder", "co-founder", or "one of the founders"? It's not as if he's titling himself "sole founder". And Sanger is still list on his Wiki page and the Wikipedia pages as a Founder.

It should also be noted that Sanger was hired by Wales to manage Nupedia, and that Wikipedia was created as a side-project of Nupedia for the purpose to generating content for Nupedia. Does the fact that Sanger was an employee of Wales, and that Wikipedia only exists because Sanger was tasked with generating content for Nupedia impact his status as a founder? Would Sanger or Wales have gone on to create a wiki without the other?

Can Steve Jobs claim to be the creator of the iPhone since he was CEO at the time it was created at Apple?

At the end of the day Sanger was present at the ground breaking of Wikipedia but was laid off and stopped participating in the project entirely after a year. He didn't spend 25 years fostering and growing the foundation. He did however try to sabotage or subvert the project 5 years later when it was clear that it was a success. Interestingly he tried to fork it to a project that had strong editorial oversight from experts like Nupedia which flies in the face of the ethos of Wikipedia.

It's not that hard. I can prove I'm not here illegally in under 30 seconds. I have my passport digital ID and my state driver's license (Real ID) in my Apple Wallet. I also have my passport and Real ID in my house. I know my Social Security number by heart.

The last thing I worry about at night is my accidental deportation.

Due process is being abused as a process and term, to pretend we have to tie up the courts for years with some sort of nonsense debate between the government and lawyers about someone's legal status. It's just to stop American law and order from being enforced. People aren't putting up with this whole situation anymore and ultimately we're in control.

> What if all they need is one single person to say hi?

Then say 'hi'. By definition they're not going to seek you out nor are they going to be findable so you're only option is to say hi to everyone and hope one sticks.

edit: heh i hope you're not talking about me, i walk to the grocery store regularly by myself. It's how a take a break from work and get some exercise. i'm fine :)

>> Linux won't stop you if you try to use a command that deletes every file on your PC ("sudo rm -rf /").

> It will definitely stop you from running that command

You're protected against removing / but your can still run `rm -rf /` and even as a user that'll do a lot of damage.

I think for the average person this would be synonymous to "every file on your PC". It is all the files that they care about. It deletes everything they have permission for. Everything they* own. For the average user `rm -rf /` is no different than `sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /`

That said, some* systems have some protections. It is common to see the following aliases in the default .bashrc (check your /etc/skel/.bashrc) but also we have to ask the question "is this a bad thing?" I'm not so sure the answer is as clear as people like to suggest it is. But you're asking your computer to do something and either it is going to do that thing or it is going to refuse. I'm personally on the side that a computer refusing to do what you ask it to do is a worse thing, but I can also understand why people want to add in precautions to protect users. Sudo is even one of those!

I'd also suggest adding the following to your ~/.bashrc and would encourage distro makes to put this in /etc/skel/.bashrc

alias rm='rm -I' # Ask for confirmation if deleting more than 3 files
#alias rm='rm -i' # Ask for confirmation if deleting files
alias cp='cp -i' # Ask for confirmation if overwriting files
alias mv='mv -i' # Ask for confirmation if overwriting files

This can help reduce mistakes. It has saved me on multiple occasions and I've been using linux for over a decade. And honestly, I am deeply frustrated every time I have to touch a Windows machine. I have terrible experiences and it has never "Just worked". With my last work laptop with windows (2024) I learned that Windows Hello (login with fingerprint) likes to break Outlook. The fact that this was a known issue to my IT team kinda highlights how disorganized Microsoft is. FWIW I do also use a Macbook Air as a daily driver but to be frank, for any work it is an overpriced SSH machine. I haven't tried a linux netbook in a few years but that would be ideal if it can actually have long battery life. Biggest help is that Microsoft is inadvertently being less hostile to linux users by making everything cloud based. I hate cloud apps but at least I don't have to have their shitty software on my computer to read a Word document (and because people can't just normalize sending PDFs)

"Make any money" is not clear enough. Providers of input and purchasers of output have each become monopolies and have squeezed the profit out of smaller providers. They borrow to survive, government pays those that loaned the money, then the cycle continues. Farmer suicide has become a very popular way out of the cycle, which is one indicator that the money isn't really there any more.

Ideological wars are everywhere, especially if you are willing to make them up.

Any collaborative effort will involve politics, and by politics I mean the actual definition. Per Wikipedia:

> set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources.

It's important to recognize this, because the option is becoming an hermit or just accepting fully what others decide for you.

This would be my recommendation as well. I use one for a 4k video card to go to external monitor. This specific card had people chatting on forums that it didn't work on M-series chips. I'm still on the last Mactel MBP, so it worked fine for me.

In the past, I've run other expanders specifically for SCSI devices mainly JBOD RAID enclosures. ATTO was the brand that we relied on. Couldn't remember the specific HBA though. Too many everything since now and then

Could they have contacted Apple before accusing them of blocking chunked uploads? Also yes. I haven't posted this in other sites besides HN. I see no reason not to draw attention to this. Are my points false?

I'm not sure how they are doing upload retries now, but they used to do while (1) {} with no backoff, esentially wasting bandwidth, and possibly causing hundred-dollar bills. I don't recall them warning people of this. Shouldn't they take some responsibility?

Because your code in isolation has almost zero value. Only working, integrated, shippable code is of monetary value, and that's not something you'll get from an AI prompt, nor from Stack Overflow.

Programming isn't the mystery we devs like to pretend it is, and that wall is coming down quickly with AI coding agents. Everyone has access to the same languages and tools as you do, so your work and mine aren't special because of the words we typed into the files. It's special because it meets the needs of a user, as a finished product they're willing to pay you for.

Unfortunately while proselytizing about nuance, the side with the power and the guns is working overtime to make it so there is only one valid set of beliefs, and those beliefs are “American”. This is no longer a symmetric conflict of ideologies, I’m not sure what it’s going to take for people to realize this. A tidal wave of blue in the midterms I think is the only hope a lot of us have left. Maybe if that doesn’t come to fruition, either legitimately or illegitimately, despondent Russian literature will start to resonate much more strongly for us.

That specific IP is detected as anycast by bgp[dot]tools , which is likely as it is announced from AS13335, so backbone routers will choose the best route back to the multiple places it is announced from. If you traceroute such an IP from multiple geographic locations, you'll probably notice that the RTT is implausibly low from all locations (assuming a unicast announcement) - which is the benefit to anycast.

The analogy is that AI is suppose to be able to do _What humans do_ but better.

But you also want AI to be more secure. To make it more secure, you'll have to prevent the user from doing things _they already do_.

Which is impossible. The current LLM AI/Agent race is a non-deterministic GIGO and will never be secure because it's fundamentally about mimicing humans who are absolutely not secure.

$36/mo for 2/4/50 VPS without public IP... Ok, I get the idea that the service is for non-regular use, but I think even $0.005 per hour ($3.6/mo) of suspended state is too expensive. The same config in Hetzner is just $4.09/mo for 24/7 working VPS with public IPv4 address

I think certain populations have this effect, yes. As an example, teen suicides have genuinely risen in the US in the post-smartphone/post-social-media era. So I think the evidence (suicides are not subject to measurement error as much) is pretty strong that certain populations (all teenagers, for instance) are encountering unhappiness to a great degree.

But TikTok is renowned for having an algorithmically tailored feed that is specifically engagement maximizing. While there are some selection effects in the people one encounters in normal life, surely one must concede that an algorithmically tailored feed maximizing engagement cannot possibly be anything but highly selected.

Job's thermonuclear threats were about Android & Google, not Samsung because Schmidt was on Apple's board during the development of Android.

> "I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this."

The falling out with Samsung was related, but more about the physical look of the phone

I live in probably the most walkable city in the world, but there are millions of lonely people here as well. From any of my observations, I can’t pinpoint to one single problem.

It might be a composite effect of different things contributing to the easiness of being alone. Cultural skill that overtime gets eroded, and as less time people spend among others, it becomes even harder to go back.

Are you using Cloudflare in front of your site? If so, the IP you’re seeing is Cloudflare’s and not the bot’s IP. You’d need to log and check the headers that Cloudflare sends you, i.e. x-forwarded-for and cf-connecting-ip.

As to how one IP can originating from multiple locations: anycast.

As someone who was waving a "fuck ice" flag on a street corner in rural Colorado yesterday as part of our weekly protest of their facility, anecdotally I'd say about 60% of the 100 or so cars I watched looked away, with about 30% showing some active support and the other 10% or so showing active opposition.

I don't think that folks are braodly supportive of ICE here, though I think that a) the folks who do support it are loud and b) most of the folks who don't support it have fairly reformist politics and are opposed, for instance, to us protesting while open-carrying.

For the record, I am highly worried that open-carrying by the counter-ICE folks at these events will be the next escalation- I carry a stop-the-bleed kit (and did some formal training). We are more worried about getting shot by counter protestors at this point.

The US is structured to promote loneliness.

If you want to fix it:

- More free public spaces (parks with benches, squares)

- More free public events and activities (free concerts, art installations, plays)

- Greater physical proximity (it's hard to make eye contact if everyone drives)

- Wealth distribution (create a society where one's value is not based on their net worth)

- Encourage days off for community service

In other words, provide socially-funded incentives for people to be close to one another physically and remove income as a measure of value.

Same experience here! As an analogy, consider the model knows both about arabic or roman number representations. But in alternate universe, it has been trained so much on roman numbers ("Bad Code") that it won't give you the arabic ones ("Good Code") unless you prompt it directly, even when they are clearly superior.

I also believe that overall repository code quality is important for AI agents - the more "beautiful" it is, the more the agent can mimic the "beauty".

The problem is there is a certain segment of the population suffer from (or have been fed) false dichotomy that either we have open borders and are overrun with criminal immigrants taking all our jobs, or we need a surveillance state that hires masked “Brownshirt” thugs to brutalize its civilian population and who can operate with impunity and immunity. Since people are afraid of the former they try to justify the latter.

There are better tools for software developers now than in e.g. 1996, so the pace of writing software has indeed increased, but certainly there has not been any 100x speed up.

At best there may have been a doubling of the speed, though something like +50% is much more likely.

Between e.g. 1980 and 1995 the speed of writing documentation has increased much faster than the speed of writing programs has ever increased, due to the generalization of the use of word processors on personal computers, instead of using typewriting machines.

Many software projects might be completed today much faster than in the past only when they do not start from zero, but they are able to reuse various libraries or program components from past projects, so the part that is actually written now is very small. Using an AI coding assistant does exactly the same thing, except that it automates the search through past programs and it also circumvents the copyright barriers that would prevent the reuse of programs in many cases.

To be blunt: what you said was completely out of line. You were mad that he wasn't responding to your other comment (why wasn't it in the OP if you wanted people to read that stuff before responding?). You then got mad that his comment was voted higher than yours (again, putting all that in the OP would've fixed that, not to mention complaining about vote counts is straight up childish).

Just take the L man. You lashed out for no good reason, the person you responded had a hell of a lot more grace and tact than you showed this entire exchange, just learn from it and move on.

'Making friends' doesn't occur by just being in proximity to people.

Quite likely at the end of the night they'll return to their lives and you won't be invited to interact with them again until the next meeting. That's if you're not excluded from existing club cliques - I've gone to many different meetings and come away at the end feeling more alone.

Of course money is not the only thing that motivates people. But there's a lot of empirical evidence that it matters. A lot, unfortunately. And I say unfortunately as I would rather have it matter less. But me whishing it doesn't change the data.

UBI is a high concept pitch, that is memorable and catchy, but AFAIK it's not well supported either by psychological models or by empirical economics data. It gives some social safety net. Problem is that it gives a rather weak safety net. We can actually do better.

Can I ask you why exactly does it need to be UBI? If another system (more complex, with less sexy pitch) could provide a bigger safety net and have a more positive economic impact, wouldn't you rather choose that?
Show HN: TeletextSignals – Local RAG over 25 Years of Swiss Teletext News
by folli | 2026-01-15 20:51:24+00:00
I built TeletextSignals, a local RAG + LLM experiment over ~25 years of Swiss teletext news in German-language.

Teletext is a TV broadcast system that delivers highly concise, space-constrained news texts. That conciseness turns out to be a real advantage for semantic search and retrieval: dense information, little fluff, and consistent structure over decades.

The project runs fully offline and uses embeddings + Postgres/pgvector to explore, search, and query teletext news from the last 25 years with modern LLM techniques.

You’re missing the point. The villainy and noise is the superpower of the company.

Operating Palantir in the way ICE is illegal, full stop. Just the IRS integration alone makes most users in a position where they are committing felonies.

Basically, there is little difference between what they do and what Enron did. It’s all based on criminality, and instead of strippers and cocaine, they signal with weird faux Orthodox Christianity and crazy behavior. The “orthodox” selection is deliberate as it feels exotic but is not catholic, so the modern evangelical types somehow are ok with it.

Just to chip in:

going to small protests has done a lot of good for my ability to regulate. Being involved with a cadre of street medics has made me feel a little less crazy.

It's nice to get off line and into the streets- the reasons are terrifying but it feels better to be with my friends in the road than to be at home fretting about stuff and writing dumb HN responses :D
