This is a Claude-coded website that invents metrics and data based on bald-faced lies, ex. the first example makes up that the search in Mail does not work 100% of the time and then calculates fantastical millions of hours wasted.

I can report it works fine, needed it to pull up 13 year old emails for me a couple months ago.

I absolutely abhor Apple’s software QC since 2010 but I don’t think a vibe-coded, vibes-based, fantasy, written by AI, with the sheen of numbers and reality is the way to do it, or a net-positive outlet for my frustration. At least on HN.

Faith and belief are the cornerstones of all evil:

• Belief asserts things as truth entirely without evidence. This lack of evidence is a feature, and not a flaw.

• Faith asserts things as truth despite copious evidence to the contrary. It calls to intentionally ignore any counter-evidence, in its entirety.

And it is through faith and belief that good-hearted people can be made to do things they would have never normally been willing to do.

“With or without evil, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil. But for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
- Steven Weinberg

Reading the bible never made me a hard atheist. UNDERSTANDING the bible did that. I have never seen such gratuitous hatred and pure evil as the god of the Abrahamic religions. May it stay dead.

Your intuition is flat out wrong. Building new nuclear takes too long. "Just fix the nuclear regulations" is a vibes-based statement. Even China, built 100x as much solar as nuclear in 2025. Wouldn't they "lower standards" to build more nuclear if it made any economic sense?

As for

> those panels themselves take energy and rare earth minerals to create

You've swallowed Big Oil propaganda and are choosing to parrot it without thinking. The actual truth?

"Every year, [ICE vehicles] consume over 17 times more tons of oil (2,150 million tons per year) than the amount of battery minerals we’d need to extract just once to run transportation forever. Even when including the weight of other raw materials in ore and brine, one-off mineral demand would still end up over 30% lighter than annual oil extraction for road transport. And unlike minerals, oil products are promptly burned in internal
combustion engines and must be replaced each year, forever

Admittedly this is about minerals for batteries. But solar panels are also recyclable.

it's really cool now using your technical skills and with the help of AI to build these project, i do it all the time but for a reason, it can be a good project to add to a resume or you need it to work the way you want it to be, or to cut costs in certain situations, i mainly do that to cut costs. but it's really not free, nothing is free, It may not have cost you anything in terms of money, but it definitely cost you ur time, which in my opinion is way more valuable than a $10 subscription.

I mentioned the estimated unregistered firearms, but they are just that, an estimate. I went looking for some references and found the following: household gun ownership is down over the last 50 years, hunting is down, gun ownership among men is down, gun ownership among women remains steady, gun ownership by race has not appreciably changed: https://vpc.org/studies/ownership.pdf Gun ownership declining would be consistent with increased gun control.

Yet gun deaths by suicide and murder per 100k people hasn't varied widely between 5 and 7 over the same period: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/05/what-the-...

> individuals are responsible, but that doesn't mean that the tool is not a significant factor.

Individuals are responsible. No buts. And there is no solving violence on any scale without understanding and addressing the reasons someone might commit it. This is a rabbit hole of difficult and uncomfortable truths we must address as a society.

(Disclaimer: I have little interest in US party politicking, so this is nothing do with my view of the Trump administration.)

The problem with a lot of these UN bodies such as the WHO, UNESCO etc is that they do not have proper external scrutiny, and instead have become overarching institutions which pass down diktats from on high. Because they are supernational/global, they are difficult to argue with or hold to account. Yet these bodies have ever more influence over our supposedly democratic institutions and are even attempting to override them in some cases.

I'm not. You literally can do this, provided there's no firewall. All you need to do is send the router a packet that's already addressed to a LAN machine, and in it goes. "NAT won't translate the packet" doesn't matter if the address is already set to an IP from the LAN.

Most consumer-level routers do have a firewall to prevent it from happening, and if they don't then people describe that router as being "grossly misconfigured" or as having a security vulnerability and similar things, so in practice it'll be blocked. But that's my point: they need the firewall to do the job precisely because NAT doesn't do it.

Well, on a related note: https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bont...

"Capital One marketed its 360 Savings accounts as “high interest” accounts with “one of the nation’s best savings rates”...However, while interest rates rose nationwide...Capital One kept the interest rates for its 360 Savings accounts artificially low...Instead, Capital One created “360 Performance Savings,” a nearly identical type of savings account that provided much higher interest rates than 360 Savings..."

“Capital One misled consumers through false marketing and a lack of transparency regarding its savings account system, cheating consumers nationwide. Given an opportunity to make loyal customers whole, Capital One sank their teeth in even more, attempting to underpay people it harmed and continue its deceptive practices"

At the end of the day, Hollywood is a business unfortunately and his last two films did poorly

Last Night In Soho was a absolute cinematic treat but had mixed reviews. I was fortunate to see it a week before release in 35mm in NYC and it was truly a special moment. But lets be real, even with films being graded on a curve due to the pandemic, the movie still did poorly.

Ok fresh start a few years later with The Running Man. This time he got big money, three time more than Baby Driver. (34mil vs 110mil) and the result? Baby Driver brought in ~227 mil and Running Man? Just ~69 mil.

Maybe he is better off producing smaller budget films and while I want nothing but success for him since he's my all time favorite director: Hollywood is a business. They will not look kindly on someone that keeps losing money.

For the love of all that is holy and all that isn't, do not get your legal advice from ChatGPT. Reposting that advice as though it was your own writing, such that unattentive readers might not recognise that the legal advice was coming from ChatGPT and might mistake it as coming from someone who has any idea what they're talking about, is even worse.

>also plagiarism

To me, this is a reminder of how much of a specific minority this forum is.

Nobody I know in real life, personally or at work, has expressed this belief.

I have literally only ever encountered this anti-AI extremism (extremism in the non-pejorative sense) in places like reddit and here.

Clearly, the authors in NeurIPS don't agree that using an LLM to help write is "plagiarism", and I would trust their opinions far more than some random redditor.

Trying to type this comment on an iPhone and that very last issue, text selection, is so so real. It’s probably the single biggest thing I hate about this phone that makes me consider switching back to Android (I was on Android for 12 years before trying out an iPhone for 3 years atm, and in general, on average, I can’t tell the difference… they both have strengths and flaws. Text selection is a pretty massive flaw on iPhone.)

Whether true or not, it is almost entirely Greenpeace, and your local Greens party, who are to blame for us being in this mess.

Without them raising panic about nuclear we could all be paying something closer to $40 - $80 a month for all the electricity we could reasonably consume, much like mobile phone plans / prepaid service.

That would still leave transport and agriculture emissions to deal with, but they’d be easier to solve if we had virtually unlimited process heat to generate hydrogen > synth fuels.

No, the protection is that when you pay with a credit card, no money has left any of your accounts, and you have plenty of time to dispute the charge before it does.

With a debit card, your money is out of your account, immediately, and you have to fight to get it back. For some banks, for some accounts, this isn't a big deal, and you might have it back in a few hours. But for others it might take weeks, and in the meantime you've failed to pay your rent or mortgage.

This seems solvable today if you treat it as an architecture problem rather than relying on the model's weights. I'm using LangGraph to force function calls to Crossref or OpenAlex for a similar workflow. As long as you keep the flow rigid and only use the LLM for orchestration and formatting, the hallucinations pretty much disappear.

> I have no reason to believe it is a lie, and it sounds plausible

Except for all of the responses from people saying it doesn't sound plausible for the project in question, and for the acute lack of real evidence or even details to accompany the allegation.

Additionally, I think "last resort" is way too high a bar. It's totally reasonable for an open source project to have a zero-tolerance policy for AI-generated spam patches or bug reports, and to respond with public shaming after the first offense. Nobody should be expected to make any allowance for such egregious behavior.

A user who is genuine but simply doesn't know how to usefully communicate about their problem doesn't deserve that treatment and should simply be ignored if the devs don't have time to engage in the interrogation necessary to extract a useful bug report. But if the user decides to try to use an LLM to compensate for a lack of content in their bug report, that user would be earning a negative response by making a bad decision. (If you're going to use an LLM, ask it how to write a bug report, rather than asking it to make up a bug report for you.)

This has literally already happened under the first Trump term, and was rolled back under Biden, by Democrats.

So, like, what exactly is the point of making up reasons to hate Democrats. Obviously it's all the rage on the left (as on the right) to do so, but fabrications from the left are no better than fabrications from the right.

It feels like Apple lacks the institutional vocabulary to even think about fixing old bugs. The way the releases are structured, there’s a “zero bugs” day where all bugs are ceremonially kicked out of the current release, and the level of quality is deemed to be “what we’re shipping with”. On that day, it’s not like the bugs are fixed, they’re just bulk-modified to target “future os release” and that’s that.

Then the planning is made for next years release and they plan for X features, which require Y time and Z engineers, and some mild hand-waving later a schedule is made, and gee would you look at that, there’s no time anywhere for fixing existing bugs. But that’s ok because big rewrite of subsystem is gonna ship next release and it’ll probably make all the bugs invalid, right? Right? Well, it certainly won’t have more bugs, right? Right? Oops…

I stumbled on the lock page myself when I was experimenting with writing a sqlite vfs. It's been years since I abandoned the project so I don't recall much including why I was using the sqlitePager but I do recall the lockpage being one of the first things I found where I needed to skip sending page 262145 w/ 4096 byte pages to the pager when attempting to write the metadata for a 1TB database.

I'm surprised they didn't have any extreme tests with a lot of data that would've found this earlier. Though achieving the reliability and test coverage of sqlite is a tough task. Does make the beta label very appropriate.

I wouldn’t call the A1 build plate small, more like average/typical sized.

And in that sense it means that almost every design made by someone else you find will fit your machine. I rarely if ever find something on Printables or Makerworld that requires a larger machine than the A1.

Then you’ve got the A1 mini being ao popular that many times people will make variants just for the small plate on that machine.

I don't comment very often on political posts and this is borderline off topic but if Trump had handled the pandemic by following the science we were putting to work and championed doing the best we could for saving lives he would have won his second term.

Instead we have been sold to someone(s) that only want to see us divided internally and externally expanding our isolationist stances.

It just feels like everything is taking polarization to the extreme.

I feel really terrible imagining what my daughter will inherit from all of this.

I built a simple job recommendation engine in Python using a content-based scoring approach (keyword overlap across title, description, and skills).

It includes:

A local Tkinter + ttkbootstrap GUI

Simple ranking logic (no ML, no embeddings)

Pagination, clickable job links, and company logos

Mock job data (easy to replace with real APIs)

The goal was to explore how far you can get with straightforward heuristics and a clean UI before reaching for heavier ML solutions. Feedback and suggestions welcome.

China is likely to use its influence to push "TCM" further into the narrative. Not that the US national health agenda is exemplary in its use of evidence and scientific knowledge at the moment either.

Sad all round.

(Edit - downvoters, do you not agree that this is likely, or do you think that it's OK?

If the former, it's been done before so it seems very likely to me. If the latter then I have to say I agree with this take in scientific american - "To include TCM in the ICD is an egregious lapse in evidence-based thinking and practice."

You could turn NAT off completely and still no-one on the Internet could reach your 192.168.0.7. There's no security perimeter coming from NAT here.

> And the NAT router won't send a packet that arrives with its public IP as dstIP to any machine behind it

Yes, of course. The problem is when a packet arrives with the IP of a LAN machine.

One of the worst parts of the Trump presidencies has been the absolute non-stop onslaught of bad news. Every single day. Day after day. Absolute terrible news.

The bar is so low, but god I cannot wait until we have another president that I don't think about more than a few times a year.

If we just didn't have a president at all for a term it would be an improvement.

I own an Android phone. The first time I tried to send a text from my wife's iPhone, I sent the wrong text 3 times in a row because autocorrect was convinced that it knew the word I wanted and I swear that the word was corrected only after I had committed to pressing the send button. At the time the autocorrect on Android was very mild; it's gotten more aggressive since, but still nothing like Apple's

You really don't want to learn the specifics about the feet of clay your authors have, but you do kinda need to. Knut Hanson was a quisling supporting Fascist. Doris Lessing was very unkind to people in her circle. Ted Hughes wasn't exactly great but Sylvia Plaths circle of friends did a number on him. Truman Capote was not capable of keeping confidences. Hunter Thompson was an erratic violent drunk.

I guess we can say the tale of Atwood's failure is to some extent handmade.

> Except they are (unlike a chatbot, a calculator is perfectly deterministic)

LLM's are supposed to be stochastic. That is not a bug, I can see why you find that disappointing but it's just the reality of the tool.

However, as I mentioned elsewhere calculators also have bugs and those bugs make their way into scientific research all the time. Floating point errors are particularly common, as are order of operations problems because physical devices get it wrong frequently and are hard to patch. Worse, they are not SUPPOSED TO BE stochastic so when they fail nobody notices until it's far too late. [0 - PDF]

Further, spreadsheets are no better, for example a scan of ~3,600 genomics papers found that about 1 in 5 had gene‑name errors (e.g., SEPT2 → “2‑Sep”) because that's how Excel likes to format things.[1] Again, this is much worse than a stochastic machine doing it's stochastic job... because it's not SUPPOSED to be random, it's just broken and on a truly massive scale.

That's true, I remembered that after I posted, but at the same time, I suspect that a lot of this round will be more permanent. At least in the former case, the US did not exit the institution (1 year notice required). In this case, there will be more than 1 year between presidential administrations. If Trump doesn't pay up our outstanding fees, it is possible a Democratic administration will use that to say we never really exited, but if it is formally done, I feel rather skeptical they will rejoin.

There is strong continuity on foreign policy between administrations.

You have to put this in context that Trump is also creating what appears to be an alternative venue to the UN with the "Board of Peace" which was originally a colonial authority to impose our will on Gaza, but its charter doesn't mention Gaza at all and talks about international conflict in general.

When I was a CEO (technical founder) I had to learn very quickly that my key job was selling.

While fundraising is also a form of selling, I am specifically using it to mean actually making deals with customers as lead BD as this person described.

After 5 years there is no amount of incentives that would make me do sales. The entire job is manipulating people to work against their own best interest.

People who are sales people for a lifetime will tell you all of this bullshit about how it’s relationship based and it’s really just talking about the customer about their problem and how their problem fits in to your solution or if it doesn’t in the best case then you don’t engage with them and you find a better target submarket etc…

Probably the best sales guy I’ve ever met became a “good friend” of mine when I was CTO for a massive government weapon system.

I went out on his boat he met my kids we met each others families. He went out on his own and found a giant CRT monitor for me, so that I could start ranking up in Tetris after I made an offhand comment about it. He even called me up personally when he left that company because he was moving to a new company and just wanted to touch base and etc. and continue our relationship.

The moment he did not need my business there was nothing to be said.

That is the Peak of salesmanship and if that’s the Peak I don’t want anything to do with it.

So while I understand this person’s story, as an extremely technical person who had to do sales for years, I found absolutely nothing rewarding beneficial or good about it.

I would feel better about being a sex worker, escort or prostitute, because at least there’s no ambiguity as to what’s going to happen.

In a transactional business (You give me money I give you product/service) the majority of the time you’re trying to figure out how you’re getting fucked over, or how you’re gonna get fucked over, or how can fuck over someone and your job is to manage these fake, corporate “relationships” that are trying to constantly reevaluate and renegotiate things.

So my only advice as a technical person is “Don’t join a company before product market fit, and stay as far away as you can from business processes as possible until you don’t have to work for a business ever again”

Something like this:

Character Name: Marcus Cole
Voice Profile: A bright, agile male voice with a natural upward lift, delivering lines at a brisk, energetic pace. Pitch leans high with spark, volume projects clearly—near-shouting at peaks—to convey urgency and excitement. Speech flows seamlessly, fluently, each word sharply defined, riding a current of dynamic rhythm.
Background: Longtime broadcast booth announcer for national television, specializing in live interstitials and public engagement spots. His voice bridges segments, rallies action, and keeps momentum alive—from voter drives to entertainment news.
Presence: Late 50s, neatly groomed, dressed in a crisp shirt under studio lights. Moves with practiced ease, eyes locked on the script, energy coiled and ready.
Personality: Energetic, precise, inherently engaging. He doesn’t just read—he propels. Behind the speed is intent: to inform fast, to move people to act. Whether it’s “text VOTE to 5703” or a star-studded tease, he makes it feel immediate, vital.
