I see a lot of people posting about a lot of Venezuelans being happy that Maduro is out, and many using that as providing moral justification for the action. But this seems murky to me. If say the majority of the US population would be happy if trump is gone, does that justify some other country coming in and kidnapping him (leave aside the ability and consequence of this)? It doesn't seem like it.

(Headway maintainer here)

Indeed there is currently no incremental update in Headway, and deployments are largely an exercise left to the reader.

For maps.earth (a Headway planet deployment), I typically rebuild the world, and then do a blue/green deployment.

I guess the one exception is for transit routing. We have individual transit zones small enough to fit into memory, which can be deployed incrementally. There’s nothing really built in about it - just another level of indirection via our “travelmux” service which redirects your routing queries to a different backend depending on mode and region.

Been playing with linux for 20y or so. Used it to program, mostly. Now after 15 days only of having Claude Code I'm flipping my setup to delete windows and have ubuntu as my main. I've never been so happy using a computer in my entire life: in this short time I already have dozens of customizations, custom scripts, opensource stuff personal custom forks, etc. Not to mention the fixes, oh so many fixes that could have taken DAYS of work from me and got solved by cc in minutes.

I even tried vibecoding my own custom text editor to use for todo and notes management, but that didn't go quite well lmao. (if anyone curious about my journey: after that I vibe-coded a Sublime Text 4 plugin that kinda worked, then I discovered Dynalist and it's more structured experience was a big hit. When I found out with Dynalist I didn't own my data, I tried other outliners (liked none), then I spent a couple of days trying to sort out some sort of scheme to use Obsidian similarly to Dynalist, didn't look too promising and also Obsidian is not open source, so now I'm finally trying Emacs (spacemacs) for the first time in my life for org-mode. Wish me luck!)

Why is plan (b) bad? From my perspective it is certainly how things ought to be. If my property is nationalized in another country by force, I am fully in favor of my country swinging its dick around to get it back.

And what is to say that plan (b) isn't taken into account when doing the risk assessment in plan (a)?

Penal Law Section 175.10
Falsifying business records in the first degree

A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof. Falsifying business records in the first degree is a class E felony.

Show HN: Chat with AI to create invoices instead of filling forms
by atmiya | 2026-01-03 20:35:32+00:00
Hey HN, I’m Atmiya.
I built Invoce.ai because invoicing always felt unnecessarily slow and bloated.

Most tools make you click through forms and settings just to send an invoice. With Invoce, you simply chat with AI, describe the work you did, and it creates a clean invoice instantly.

It’s early and intentionally simple. I’m curious how others here handle invoicing today and what feels most frustrating. Happy to answer questions and hear feedback.

To the commenter above: it seems like you are responding to something other than what I wrote. Perhaps my meaning didn't come across? I'll try again:

Assume one person builds model M which ignores geopolitics. For any such model, that model can be modified by including geopolitical information. Call that M'. I claim M' will do better than M. Do you agree? Disagree? Why?

Please take the context into account. I was responding to a comment that said:

>>> Having said that, international law is a myth.

This is why I said:

>> Arguments over definitions really bore me. To any reasonable person predicting the future, international law is an important factor. It cannot be simply waved off because it is flawed and unevenly enforced.

I am having a hard time understanding how you think I'm naive for saying the above. To me, it would be naive to ignore international law altogether.

May I ask if you've done geopolitical analysis at the international level? I have no idea -- you very well might have. By the same token, I may have as well. This isn't a who-has-the-bigger GPU question. I'm just trying to understand if you understand the game we're talking about.

If you want to build some models on this, let me know. We'll compare and see if including international agreements has predictive value relative to not. Are you game?

Its too late for that now. America has created a mess and will now be responsible for cleaning up that mess (or eschewing responsibility when things don't go as easily as Trump thinks they will, which is probably more likely). There is already a huge power vacuum that is going to be filled with chaos, it is too late to just bring Maduro back since the damage has already been done.

Hi HN,

I’ve been working on Sentra Care, an AI-powered health guidance tool designed around one idea: reducing panic caused by unstructured health information.

Instead of diagnosing conditions or recommending medication, Sentra focuses on:

explaining symptoms in a calm, non-alarmist way

highlighting medical red flags and urgency levels

helping users decide when professional care is appropriate

avoiding certainty and overconfidence by design

The motivation came from seeing how often symptom Googling leads to unnecessary anxiety. Clinicians think in terms of risk, context, and escalation — most online health content doesn’t.

From a technical perspective:

emphasis on guardrails and safety constraints

no diagnosis, no treatment advice

structured outputs (red flags, next steps, questions to ask a doctor)

optimized for clarity rather than completeness

This is still early-stage and very much a work in progress. I’m especially interested in feedback around:

UX clarity (is it calming or still overwhelming?)

safety boundaries

where AI guidance is helpful vs where it shouldn’t be used

Appreciate any constructive feedback.

— Luka

Erm… I don't understand what you are saying.

> Money is anonymous.

Unless you pay in cash (or some cryptocurrency that doesn't leave traces), money is not anonymous. Not sure what made you make that claim.

> Why would they have some kind of pipeline account that goes directly from the fees to political spend?

Is the pipeline account you mention here the delivery company's account?

> This is like claiming someone set up a special account where all their paychecks on rainy days get spent directly on weed. It makes zero sense.

Pretty sure that already happens, that's one of many ways to do tax evasion with offshore accounts.

Scammers have ruined the forex trading market, they have deceived many people with their fake promises on high returns. I learnt my lesson the hard way. if your money has been ripped-off by these scammers, you can report to a regulated crypto investigative unit who make use of software to get money back. They helped me recover my scammed funds back to me If you encounter with some issue make sure you contact (coinhackrecovery@gmail .com) they're recovery expert and very effective .

Tailscale uses wireguard.

What it provides is a opinionated configuration management - which is admittedly great which is why I use it as well, but it's nonsensical to say tailscale works in places where wireguard is blocked.

You're likely just noticing the preconfigured nat traversal which tailscale provides and never set one up yourself, as you'd need a static IP for that and it's unconfigured by default.

There are different categories of crimes and violations.

You can call it "The penal code", "Common law", or "Crimes" (as opposed to violations).

And in almost all countries in the world the list is the same and has been for hundreds of years: Murder, robbery, theft, rape, battery and so on.

Do you think people walking the streets of Washington DC are less safe because of crimes such as those Trump was convicted of? Or are their main concern murder, robbery, theft, rape, battery and such?

C17 didn't introduce any changes to the language. C23 mostly standardized existing compiler-specific goodies. None of this broke existing code. When I run `sudo dnf upgrade gcc` I can be 99.9% sure my old code still compiles.

Compare e. g. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102750/ (I'm not following Rust development closely, picked up the first one). Yes, developers do rely on non-guaranteed behavior, that's their nature. C would likely standardize old behavior. Basically all of the C standard is a promoted vendor-specific extension - for better or worse.

Here is another good one: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/type-inference-breakage-in...

> Why would you even care about connection from outside?

Because if those nice IoT devices were reachable from the internet they could be compromised easily due to their likely shitty firmware with backdoors and hardcoded passwords.

> Trusting on NAT alone is idiotic and foolish.

Sure, but that's a far cry from saying NAT provides no security.

Right now I am sure there are millions of posts about whatever happened in Venezeula last night. None of these people have any actual information, it doesn't have any value as "news" -- I'll get more out of reading about it in The Economist next week if not other papers. Sure it is a signification that other people are angry and I can't blame them for being angry but if I get angry it doesn't accomplish anything. It's like you're in an airplane at 40k feet that just sprung a leak and you need to put the oxygen mask on yourself before you can take care of the people around you.

I'm going to argue that those feelings of anger are self-destructive and don't lead to effective activism or positive change in the world. Emotions are contagious

People can post all the politics they like and some of it is going to get in my feed but there are a lot of people who post 20 angry things about Trump a day and nothing good is going to come out of following people like that. I am interested in activism on the issues of: (1) Gen Z's social disconnectedness, (2) an "othering" style of activism on the left that helps the right win, (3) subverting the "trauma theory" that encourages people to build identities around marginalization (e.g. "diss abled" people), (4) recognition of the common (5-10%) condition of schizotypy which is now misdiagnosed as ADHD, autism and other fashionable conditions, and (5) getting our economy and technology aligned with our environment.

Getting mad doesn't help with any of these.

This will be a U.S. centered response, because that’s where I live and work. We’ve tried hiring for local and remote roles. It’s a terrible experience all around, both on the hiring and being hired side of the equation.

The company I work for is a medium sized business, in residential and commercial construction. For example, a recent react native mobile dev position my company posted had about 300 applications in the first hour, with about 500 total in the first week on indeed. Of those applications, 90% didn’t have most of any of the requirements for the position. The job description says that we don’t sponsor H1B visa’s (because it’s stupidly expensive now). Of the 10% that somewhat met the minimum qualifications, all but 1 required sponsorship. This was listed as a hybrid role, only 20 people applied from the region where the office is.

We already know from previous roles that a huge percentage of people with resume’s that say they have the required skills, actually won’t come close to making it through the interview process.

While as a company we like AI/ML tools, and encourage our staff to learn them, and use them where appropriate, we want to invest in everyone’s skills with new tools. We try not to use AI where a human connection is important (hiring, sales, etc). We’ve had to resort to AI for dealing with the massive influx of low quality job applications and it sucks.

Basically anyone who goes above and beyond at this point automatically get’s at least an interview.

I do understand why so many people are just applying to every job that shows up, it makes sense. But it really does make the prospect of finding those few great people very difficult.

We aren’t a ruby/rails shop otherwise I’d reach out to OP.

This is naive. No other country would dare do this to the US because the US would simply rain literal hellfire upon them.

Your mistake is in equating the US to other countries. You cannot. It is a superpower.

When other countries act hostile to the US, it can simply ignore their sovereignty at a whim, and this is a huge benefit to living in US.

Is it unfair? Sure. Who cares?
by Novosell | 2026-01-03 20:39:40+00:00
I didn't say it was resolved, I said it's about a piece of software which is called "resolved" which is one of many programs belonging to "systemd". It's a program which handles DHCP and DNS I believe.

And systemd is part of some Linux distros, yes. But not all. And Linux, the kernel, is agnostic towards IPv4 vs. IPv6 as far as I know.

So saying "Linux prefers IPv4 DNS" and linking to a github issue about "resolved" doesn't make much sense.

Oh, I don't think the US should just topple all dictatorships!

If the US could press a button and have all dictatorships automatically become stable, liberal democracies, I'm pretty sure they would do that and we'd all be happy.

But the US cannot just topple the government of all dictatorships at once. If it tried that, it would just cause immense chaos, and all those countries would unite against the West.

The US has to ally with some dictatorships against other dictatorships, like it did with the USSR against the Nazis and how it does with Saudi Arabia against Iran.

Iran hates us since the Islamic Revolution (when we supported the Shah), and finances multiple terrorist groups such as Hesbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship, but at least it's not a revisionist state (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revisionist_state) and has a more peaceful objective towards its neighbors.

If the US refused to ally with dictatorships, the only country in the entire Middle East that it could ally with is Israel. It would have to fight all other countries at once.

Thanks! I've been looking into this a little recently, so thanks for the very timely article and advice.

Do you have any info on good ways to nail down personal sources of inflammation relevant to cardio health, or do you think that just general anti-inflammatory diet/habits is the best we can do right now? We were hunting down a source of mold in our house recently due to some blood markers recently, which got me thinking about inflammation sources and cardio health (we found a big patch of mold between our floors and removed it, blood markers immediately improved).

Aha! (https://www.aha.io) | Rails / React / Devops | REMOTE

Aha! is the #1 tool for product managers to plan strategy and roadmaps. We serve more than 700,000 users worldwide. We are looking for:

* Experienced Rails security engineer to work on the Aha! product. Our application is built in Ruby on Rails, with React on the frontend for rich client-side experiences.

Aha! is profitable, you can work from anywhere in North or South America, and we offer excellent benefits. We use our own product to manage our work (which is especially rewarding) and we deploy continuously.

Our entire team has always been 100% remote - in North American timezones so we can collaborate during the work day.

Yeah, that makes sense. I wonder if a more transactional model might work better.

Perhaps something like FedEx Office (formerly Kinkos). No membership. You go in and you pay to use equipment and resources. Of course, there would have to be levels of qualification someone would have to pass before being allowed to touch certain equipment. I suppose you could have classes (Solidworks, 3D printing, CNC machining, welding, etc.).

Writing that, at some level, it starts to feel complex. I say this in the context of my stated objective, which would be to stay busy at a low stress level after retirement. I am not sure that what I just described fits that model.

There's also a reality most don't want to think about. While, for the most part, dealing with the public is fun and interesting, there's always a very small percentage of people who behave badly. It's the old Tragedy of the Commons story. That's the part that none of us enjoy at all.

Let's pretend that the International Criminal Court were to apprehend Donald Trump and take him to the Hague for trial today over this event.

His claims to control the country and its resources would be inadmissible as charges, because they have not happened. They would be admissible to establish intent, but that would lead to lesser charges.

While I realize that the lower limit of a legal definition of the events of the last twenty-four hours is in the thoughts of very few, no overt actions of force have been taken as yet to obtain those goals.

That lower limit is extra-judicial kidnapping.

Elon is not Tesla.

I think his decisions have been helpful in the past, especially compared to half-hearted attempts at EVs by most of most other large manufacturers, but only time will tell if his current positions will pay off. At least the new compensation is performance based. If he can't deliver, he doesn't get paid.

V3/V4 have significantly improved in the past few months. I use one, the other, or both, daily, more V3 than V4. They are well ahead of where they were in 2023.

I'm sure Nvidia and others will eventually catch up, but they have to catch up in terms of auto manufacturing/use, inference/training/sensor hardware manufacturing/use, fleet training data, etc... simulataneously.

Xpeng driving autonomously is great, and shows they are catching up at least in a specific situation. They may be catching up in the aggregate, they may not be. I agree that a Chinese manufacturer has the best chance to catch up overall.

In general, I think it's about whether a distributed, lower-compute/sensor with higher-data/training approach like Tesla/etc have will beat a more singular, higher-compute/sensor with lower-data/training like Waymo/etc have.

Distributed has been able to offer better ADAS at a lower cost, but singular is winning at fully autonomous driving. If distributed can catch up in terms of autonomous diving while continuing to improve ADAS, distributed is done. I have a hunch that's a part of why there's so much demand for DRAM/etc...

"This gap closely resembles the broader gap between proprietary and open-weight models. This is unsurprising since nearly all leading Chinese models are open-weight, while frontier US models remain closed."

Open weights has nothing to do with why the U.S. is leading. That would imply the US is taking advantage to maintain their lead using at the very least, knowledge extracted from competitors open weights.

If you check a thread about GrapheneOS, almost everybody praise it, and many even state that everything works. If you look into it however, a ton of things simply don’t work, and they just don’t care. Heck, even in this thread there are people like that. They just flat out state, that “it works perfectly”, then a few sentence later “x, y, z don’t work”. So, how should I know that 25+ years of Linux knowledge, custom kernel and Linux building, and tinkering are less, than those people who are fine with their free drivers which don’t utilize half of their hardware’s features?

My only hold out until this year was my gaming PC. When Windows 10 became unsupported, so did Minecraft updates. I tried Windows 11 just enough to get MC installed, only to find out I must log into the Microsoft Store to get it to run at all. The launcher installed, the desired versions downloaded and installed, click play, Store login required. Bedrock and Java editions. Just because... why not, I guess?

I decided as long as Rocket League (Steam) runs fine, I'll stick with Linux. It did, without any tweaking (other than telling it to use Proton because, technically, it has native Linux support, just not online play), and it used to require a ton of weird tweaking.

Every game I cared about in my Steam library worked too, way more than when I tried in 2020, also without any tweaking. So did MC Java edition.

The machine has a RTX 3080, which I almost didn't buy, because I've had issue with Nvidia on Linux in the past, but haven't had to do a single tweak this time.
