In terms of similarities, they are both attempts to improve "perceived page speed" that actually decrease page speed or encourgae practices that decrease page speed

For example, injecting ads and tracking into webpages via connections to third party servers. This is not a practice that increases page speed

If I am not mistaken, "web.dev" is operated by an ad services company

As a web user, not a "web developer", I use clients that do not "support" these "features". For me, YMMV, this makes information retrieval from the www much faster and more resource-efficient than if I tried to use clients that do, such as the so-called "modern" browser

There are also privacy and security impllications associated with choice of client, however these are not the primary reason I choose clients other than the so-called "modern" browser, i.e, clients that do not "support" preconnect or dns-prefetch

Are you serious right now? I don't mean this in an insulting way at all, but I can see why you're dealing with loneliness. Take some time to self reflect and figure out why you lashed out here(seriously, really think about it or show some friends this dialogue without context and ask what they think, in person). Like the commenter, I hope you find you find your community, but you are far from the path. Your attitude is fixable, nobody is playing down the problems here and instead people who were in your shoes empathetically showed you a way out, but you need some serious self reflection.

In case it's not clear, original replier's comment here is absolutely correct and it doesn't necessarily have to be in a religious pretext (re: the church article), that's just a palpable example for most people. Neighbors, community centers, hobbies, etc-- these all require work on everybody's end and you must commit to these relationships to create a semblance of something to revolve your life around in lieu of drowning in loneliness.

The word "can" in your sentence is making some bold assumptions about my vehicle budget. The R1T Dual with Max battery (the combo that gets an estimated 400+ mile range) is $95,000.

That would be about a $1,300/month loan for 6 years.

I would either need to add $30,000 annual pre-tax to my income or to pay off every debt other than my house to even begin to consider that as an option, and there are so many other things I could spend $1,300/month on.

I will keep an eye on the used market though. I'm sure some deals will come up eventually.

You're right that at the technical level, it's an unsecured API. But I'd argue the AI context matters for two reasons:

1. The capability itself: The "create data anywhere" permission wasn't a legacy API—it was added specifically to enable AI agent functionality (Now Assist). Traditional chatbots had scoped, rules-based actions. The shift to agentic AI introduced capabilities that the auth model wasn't designed to govern.

2. The pattern: This is going to happen repeatedly. Companies are bolting AI agents onto legacy systems without rethinking authorization. ServiceNow is just the first high-profile example. The same pattern exists in Copilot plugins, Claude Desktop MCP servers, LangChain deployments—anywhere AI agents get grafted onto existing infrastructure.

You could call it "an unsecured API" and be technically correct. But the reason it was unsecured is that AI agents break the assumptions traditional IAM was built on: human decision-making, predictable workflows, fixed permissions.

The fix isn't just "secure your APIs" (though yes, do that). It's recognizing that autonomous agents need different authorization primitives than human-operated systems.

In my city, an older guy organized an “urban hiking group” where he would plan walking routes through the city, usually stopping at a restaurant for brunch. It was very popular, but probably a lot of work. He was semi-retired, so he had the time to do it. He did research to have talking points on the history of some spots we passed, like a tour guide.

It was a great low key meet up. You didn’t have to make friends with the organizer. If you were walking with someone you didn’t really like in the group, it was easy to drift to talk to someone else.

This is computational research under the Ruliad formalism on the universal structure and constraints of computationally modelled Observers. This has been presented at Levin's platonic symposium, at the Active Inference Symposium and is published on the Wolfram Institute. A longer paper applying these ideas is in the other git repo (covers things like observer evolution, memetic evolution, telos (top down causation) and computational ethics and even theology! - video from presentation to wolfram institute and symposium in that repo)

I got told this is a great place to post if you want aggressive, hardcore feedback. I'm interested to know what active computer science / coders think of the category theoretic construction.

Microsoft is a modern IBM holocaust tabulation machine. Yes, many of the people who work for Microsoft should be prosecuted and put in prison for war crimes, with varying degrees of culpability. There are people in MS who knowing negotiated deals that aided and abetted war crimes, and those who wrote morally repugnant military surveillance software that was used to automate mass murder in the Gaza holocaust.

I am pro-immigration-control, in a pretty strong sense. Not "anti-immigration", since it's a valuable tool when controlled properly, but I believe we have not been properly controlling it, by a long shot. The consequences have been disastrous, so I sympathize with the desperation and anger born from that.

But no amount of sympathy can excuse the general behavior of ICE and the stain it leaves on the idea of the USA. In this case - I have watched all the same videos, and there is simply no way to view that murder as clearly self-defense without leaning on a pre-decided hatred of the victim as an "enemy".

Just as the left's ideas on immigration are clouded by anti-racism, the right's ideas on immigration are clouded by racism. What's best for a society lies somewhere in between, and at this point may require some tough enforcement, yes, but ICE is not enacting that - they are just enacting the hatred of the right, terrorizing America in an un-focused, illegal, immoral, unprofessional manner.

"Bothsidesism" is a lie that is used to avoid criticizing one side when the other side is also bad. Just because one side is awful does not grant the other side a free pass to be immune from criticism or to get their way on everything. The idea of "bothsidesism" forces a false dichotomy and then forces you to pick a side, when there are almost always more than two choices. It's what partisans use to beat down people who say "I pick 'None Of The Above,' because you both suck."

I can appreciate their troubles. How is someone supposed to pay for all the overhead that goes into research and writing these articles without a source of income. People also seem dead against subscriptions. The only way that seems to work is appealing to the LCD and raking in stream bucks but not all media/literature, especially the valuable kind, is conducive to that model.

This feels like a false flag being pressured by corporate interests.

Government agency focused on citizen privacy suddenly hit by a corruption probe with no accusations or specifics.

What would corruption even mean in this case? They're being bribed to…point out Grok's deepfake porn? Warning about the dangers of AI? Fine companies for harming or misleading users?

If so, let's get some more of that corruption!

My blog post is a more detailed expression of a sentence that starts with "my personal experience". I think that's fine.

And of course I read the article. That's why my sentence explicitly says "satisfied or very satisfied" whereas the text you quote only selects the "very satisfied". One can imagine that if I had only linked without reading I could not possibly have guessed 81% correctly either.

I'm not saying "just stop being depressed". I'm questioning that any significant portion of the population is depressed. I think that's valid.

For contrast, I had an Amiga with a 120MB Maxtor SCSI drive, and power-on to looking at the loaded Workbench GUI was about 6-7 seconds. The slowest part was waiting for the drive to spin up, which seems like an acceptable reason for a delay. Warm reboots were a few seconds faster.

So no, that's not anything inherent to SCSI. It could've been either the SCSI driver being slow to initialize, or the adapter being glacial, or the drive itself taking forever to come online.

My native language is Armenian which also has cases, no definite word order, and word endings, but no genders. I think cases are great. Latin sucks cause it has 3 genders and neuter has like 3 different forms, each changing the word endings. The system overall is great, its the inconsistency that makes it difficult. In english, you still have to denote the intent behind the decelerations somehow.

To everything else you said: I think language develops more naturally without such intent.
Show HN: I have build a free random code generator (250k codes/batch)
by tomge | 2026-01-15 18:48:37+00:00
I built a free online tool for generating large batches of unique random codes - up to 250,000 per generation (roughly 2.5M/hour).

It's designed for cases like:
- custom discount/voucher codes
- giveaway or lottery tickets
- product serial numbers printed on packaging
- one-time passwords or secure tokens
- bulk fake/test data
- random strings

You control:
- quantity (up to 250k per batch)
- length (up to 40 chars + optional prefix/suffix)
- exact character sets (letters, digits, symbols, Unicode/emojis)
- precise position rules (e.g. letters in positions 1-3, digits after)
- uniqueness (required or optional duplicates)

Three modes: basic (quick defaults), advanced (character sets + prefix/suffix), expert (per-position rules).

Export formats: CSV, XLS/XLSX, JSON, plain text.

Codes are generated on-the-fly and never stored on the server - files are deleted immediately after download. Configurations can be saved as shareable links.

No signup, no tracking, completely free.

(Note: this generates your own codes for use in your systems/promotions - it does not find or create codes for existing stores/services.)

The tool is a part of our upcoming code generation and management platform, which is currently in beta.

Feedback welcome.

There is a gap between thinking and action. I think the social media and gaming and online stimulions currently designed to bombard and drain your thinking brain, leaves nothing for the action you and your body needs to take. Your brain only has so much chemistry to trigger neural activation and we are blowing it on mental stress to the point where the body doesn’t have any more mental energy to tackle real world stress or handle real world emotions.

Try an A/B test. Do days with zero screen stimuli - no TV, no phones, no online interaction. Go into the world to a cafe, or a common area with people and do stuff. See how you feel and what you feel up to. Vacations might be good and relaxing because you disconnect. Maybe do it without paying for it.

Plenty of Minnesotans have come out to protest, just like in other cities where ICE is active. Many people outside the cities, even just in the suburbs, haven't seen any of it at all and it's just something that's happening on TV that doesn't really exist to them. I've never seen an ICE officer in my life, despite living in a area with many immigrants from the Middle East. Minneapolis might as well be Spain to most Americans.

Good grief. I'm here cautiously telling my workplace to buy a couple of dgx sparks for dev/prototyping and you have better hardware in hand than my entire org.

What kind of experiments are you doing? Did you try out exo with a dgx doing prefill and the mac doing decode?

I'm also totally interested in hearing what you have learned working with all this gear. Did you buy all this stuff out of pocket to work with?

It was custom SW created by construction company: things like quotations, warehouse management, controlling, some accounting integrations, time tracking and what not. At the end it was sold to about 60 other companies. It was about 30 years old when the development stopped: it was slowly being eaten by more modern software, but I am sure it is still used somewhere. I was single dev working on it since my day 1.

Good luck on your pepper search! Also you probably want to have a 1.75:1 water:rice ratio in the pot when you add it in and it’s important to cover the top for the rice to fluff up. You don’t want a tight seal just a plate loosely covering the top so some steam can escape. Finally for some real flavor in these dishes you might want to use bouillon instead of the broth and add a good amount of it or it’s going to be bland. You can also skip the salt once you do that.

Usually rice and bean type dishes always go with something on the side so you should probably have another protein/meat dish on the side to properly appreciate the dish. Maybe ladle some of the juices that come off the protein over the rice when you eat it.

That's why I prefaced it with "That said" as an acknowledgement of calling out a different tribe.

There's a nuance to this -- the current political environment is not normal and cannot be emphasized enough. The GOP is now a cult of personality and there is no allegiance to country by its members. Its all to one man, who many believe is wholly unqualified for the job.

Its a well-documented phenomenon that millions of people have joined this cult -- many coming from the other side of the aisle. There is no possible reasoning, dialog, or engagement that can make them reconsider.

I would be classified as a "Lefty" if evaluated on my values, but I actually believe in the value of old school conservatism as of "limited government", the value of families, and the ability to have their own personal relationship with God (I am an atheist but I get it).

One of the things that makes America great is the Constitution -- that we are ostensibly a nation governed by law. The current regime does not share those values and is actively hostile to all who do not worship or pay tribute to their leader.

I've been following US politics for half a century and what's happening now would have been unthinkable even 10 years ago.

The Cybertruck failed to sell because it is stupendously ugly. All other (technical) reasons are and were manufactured for political purposes. We're too itchy to stop picking at it, so we blame everything else we see and hear as an add-on reason, but really it was how it looked. Ford didn't cancel the electric pickup, they did even more research and decided the upcoming EREV F150 will eventually eat it's mother, so it is better to stop now.

The problem is that convenience trumps everything.

- It is convenient to use Facebook to chat with family
- It is convenient to use credit cards to pay the local shop
- It is convenient to use Netflix to watch movies
- It is convenient to pay a (lower) monthly fee than a (higher) purchase price for MS products
- It is convenient to have Apple / Google take care of email
- It is convenient to use Uber instead of a taxi

The golden cage of convenience is why nothing will change in the US -- we prize convenience above all else.

You actually bring up the biggest obstacle to my tentative idea for this Sunday, of holding up a sign that points to a time/place for a casual conversation with strangers. I thought this would be a good way to get very lonely passers-by out of their comfort zone and into a situation where they have a chance to make friends and bond, but the absolute diversity of interests is the main show stopper. My first thought was to essentially avoid sensitive topics on the poster, such as religion and politics, but it still leaves the huge diversity of potential common interests open. So I started doing some research on the most common hobbies that people have in cities and that can be talked about casually, in hopes of finding like 5 ot 6 to write on the sign to get people into the coffee shop.

People need to purposefully and intentionally do things. Sitting home on an app, watching TV is easy. There is no fear or rejection, there is no work to get out of the house, there is no risk. But there is also no reward.

My thoughts on this are you need to have multiple roots into your community. This is something that you go to often and talk to people, become a regular, say hi. Think back to how your parents or grandparents did it: They went to church/temple/synagogue, they went to PTA meetings, they talked to their neighbors, they were in clubs, they went to the same bar.

So I think doing things that get you out of the house, consistently the most important part:

1. People need to make a point to talk to their neighbors, invite them over for dinner or bbqs, make small talk. How towns are constructed now is a hindrance to this (unwalkable towns where all of the houses are big garages in the front and no porches).

2. Join a religious organization. Go to church, but also join the mens/womens group, join a bible studies class. Attend every week.

3. Join social clubs / ethnic organization. The polish or ukrainian clubs, knights of columbus, elks, freemasons. Go every week.

4. Join a club / league. Chess club, bowling league, softball league, golf league. Tech meetups, DnD Night etc. But you have to talk with people and try to elevate things to friendships.

5. Have lunch, happy hour, etc with coworkers.

Well, that is why I say One of the reasons, lol. US Automobile companies are actively lobbying the government to protect them from chinese emergence in America.

They're actively scamming americans by artificially limiting their choices, raising prices, and calling it freedom.

And yes, I think there should be some loopholes or programs to get small numbers of vehicles made by small companies, but I also know that insuring a car with such small numbers would likely be a nightmare for the owners.

Not really. I've been around a while. Git for about 15 years. Subversion before that. Perforce before that. rcs before that (back down to sun3 machines). Mostly Fossil now for personal things.

What I am saying is that people learn as much as they need to. They generally don't need to know any more git than is required to interact with github. If anything problematic comes up, they go in with a wrecking ball because they don't truly understand what they are doing. And git has a lot of wrecking balls available.

If you threw them at raw git and asked them to collaborate with someone they'd be up shit creek. They have no idea how SSH or email works for example.

It shows a recency bias, which is probably unavoidable. I'd hope that, as time passes, there are mechanisms to archive (not delete!) pages that seem unimportant. However, while this level of coverage may present a noise problem for average users, it will be a gift to future historians. How much material about the historical figures you mention was simply lost?

That being said, there should be absolutely no regard for "sensitivity" or the fact that Musk is a living person. He is a public figure wielding a ridiculous amount of resources to reshape the world as he sees fit. Regardless of his virtues or shortcomings, his power makes him somebody that should be watched closely. He helped shape the last U.S. election, played a key role in this presidency, and promises to continue his influence in the mid-terms. It matters if he's a Nazi.

Kudos to Wikipedia for leaving that page up.
Show HN: I built a self-hosted video search tool because Google's API was $$$
by iliashad | 2026-01-15 18:51:20+00:00
I've been working on a project to solve my problem of finding and searching across my videos (I do have a lot of videos). I decided to solve this issue. I looked at APIs that could help me transcribe and analyze video frames. (Google Video Intelligence was out of my budget and I had to upload videos to Google Cloud which I didn't wanna do).

I decided to build Edit Mind, which started as a simple CLI that would transcribe videos using OpenAI Whisper and search across them using text, nothing fancy.

Then I decided to add frame analysis. I built a Python script that would handle that, take the full video, divide it into smaller parts that would be 1 second to 2 seconds long, pass the frame to another system that would recognize faces, objects, text over image, etc.

After that, I decided to build an Electron desktop app that would manage the UI and have a search and chat feature.

Then, I was like let's open source it and share it with the community over Reddit. People loved it (https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1ogis3j/i_built...). Many of them requested Docker integration. I decided to focus on that instead, which was a great idea and suggestion. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrVaJ33qmtg&t=12s)

Now, we have 3 Docker containers: one responsible for the web UI, one for the background jobs , media stuff and local vector integration, one for the ML service (transcription and frame analysis) that will be a Python script communicating via WebSocket.

After posting over X and tagging Twelve Labs for inspiring me to add new features and UI enhancements to the project, I had the opportunity to present the project live at their webinar series (if you wanna check Edit Mind in a live demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_aesDa3sFw&t=1271s)

After getting the proof of concept with all the features that I was hoping to get from Edit Mind, it's time to focus on improving the code quality, refactoring, and implementing best practices. Remember that I'm working solo with the help of external contributors.

I would love to get your feedback about the project.
