And that's totally fine what Lovable is doing. Tailwind offers an MIT-licensed library that anyone is free to use without paying for it. Tailwind's paid offering is optional, and many businesses won't need it. Just as non-paying users of OSS are not entitled to anything from the maintainers, maintainers are not entitled to revenue from users who are complying with the license terms of their free offering.

As an open source developer myself, it concerns me that so much of what we do us under- and un-funded, but that's the licensing model Tailwind chose. If you want something different, then release it under the AGPL (or something else that businesses aren't comfortable using, or cannot use), and charge for commercial licensing for any use of your product. Yes, you'll have fewer users, but that may be the trade off you need to make in order to build a sustainable business.
Show HN: Graph:Easy ported to TypeScript with GPT-5.2
by AntiRush | 2026-01-08 02:21:22+00:00
Over Christmas, I read a blog post here about attempting to port Graph::Easy (a very cool Perl module) to TypeScript using LLMs:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46318080

The author didn’t get the results they wanted, but I was nerd-sniped into giving it a try with some different tools.

The link is a web page where you can enter Graph::Easy graph descriptions to generate graphs in the various supported formats. It runs both the TypeScript and the Perl versions and compares the results.

The code is available: https://github.com/fairfieldt/graph-easy-ts/

I also wrote a longer post about the process: https://tomisin.space/projects/graph-easy-ts/

Holy shit why didn't they play the middle video they legit murdered that girl and when they saw what happend they ran away. The gull, they are legit law enforcement running away from the problem they just created every dude back off instead of trying to help that lady after what happened.

Edit: Context here because they are literally doing a pincer move on this lady's car all wearing masks and with at least 1 gun drawn. All issuing different commends backup, get out, this is way hiring amateurs off the street to play cop is a bad idea. Trained people don't esclate this way

Edit2: She definite hits the cop before he shots but where is that 5'th video of the lady right up in the pincer cop's face. She's video taping him

I would prefer they require face scanning vs. locking everything up. The police in my city don’t arrest people for shoplifting, or a range of petty crimes for that matter. If you don’t like face scanning no one makes you shop there.

When crime is unpunished and the police won’t do anything and the politicians don’t care, then businesses either have to adapt with new models or close

> It sounds like he is calling on the National Guard to protect against ICE? Is this the first time a state has done this? I personally think it’s the right move but this is a serious matter to have one law enforcement agency called out to protect against another law enforcement agency. If true, this is a very big deal.

It’s to motivate peace and riot control due to the situation.

If he had some “knucklehead” notion to pit The NG against ICE, the federal government would simply federalize the NG and remove it from state control. I think he’s a goof, but he’s smarter than that, plus as a former NG, he knows how the NG command structure works.

> Firstly, paying is not at all the correct incentive for the desired outcome. When the incentive is payment, people will optimize for maximum payout not for the quality goals of the system.

1. I would expect any paid arrangement to include a quality-control mechanism. With the possible exception of if it was designed from scratch by complete ignoramuses.

2. Do you have a proposal for a better incentive?

Such competent participants flock to these terror organisations only after it has proven itself a viable career path. Compare the chaos and mayhem of the brownshirts in Germany before the war, vs the Gestapo later. Very chaotic evil vs lawful evil.

At this point in time, it's not apparent if the current regime will prevail. Thus, it's time for brownshirt tactics. When Presidential/King/Dictatorial power is fully consolidated, States' Rights are just a memory, and all nonloyal judges are fired, it's time for the disciplined Career Bureaucrats to join ICE.

The incentives are wrong. Any good policy for bad incentives is temporary and incidental

This policy selectively emphasizes the most difficult to import foods so it also plays into isolationist nativist policies.

If you think meat lobbying groups just wanted a new triangle and this isn't going to extend to water, land, energy, and environmental policies along with farm subsidies and even merger&acquisition and liability policies, sorry ...

This thing is for them, their profitability and their investors. They didn't lobby on behalf of your personal health...

I fell victim to a scam, losing thousands of dollars and being unable to withdraw my funds. They kept asking for additional taxes when I tried to request a payout, and despite involving the police, I faced many obstacles. Fortunately, I reported my case to the Cybercrime Unit through their website ( Cybertecx net ) and their investigator traced and recovered my stolen funds without any upfront fees.

I think it would help, but we could still be better.

As an America living in southeast with ~40 years of life to plan for, I face the similar issue of: which country can I feel can be a 'safe' home for me to live in?

If Vietnam had a f1 -> h1b system (and no country caps), I would still not feel safe to call Vietnam my home.

- The h1b is a lottery. I could work my butt off and still just be unlucky.

- H1b is tied to employment. If I lost my job due to economic situations, poor politics, or personal health issues, I have 60d to find a new job or buy airplane tickets to leave.

I've been thinking, Java doesn't have many supply chain issues, their model is based of namespacing with the DNS system. If I want a library from vendor.com, the library to import is somewhere under com.vendor.*

Simple enough, things like npm and pip reinvent a naming authority, have no cost associated (so it's weak to sybil attacks), all for not much, what do you get in exchange? You create equality by letting everyone contribute their wonderful packages, even those that don't have 15$/yr? I'm sorry was the previous leading internet mechanism not good and decentralized enough for you?

Java's package naming system is great in design, the biggest vuln in dependencies that I can think of on java was not a supply chain specific vuln, but rather a general weakness of a library (log4j). But maybe someone with more java experience can point to some disadvantage of the java system that explains why we are not all copying that

I mean that assumes that you can’t assign the highest price to non-facially recognized people.

Part of the dynamic pricing is that you don’t need to have specific individual targets to do cluster based pricing

So if I am running the dynamic price tuning, then I’ll just jack up prices if faces are obfuscated.

You have to understand the moment you walk into any private establishment that’s a business, you are quite literally walking into a Skinner box at this point.

> Switch to stores with stronger privacy policies: Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Food Bazaar have not announced biometric scanning.

Local member owned food co-ops would be a good alternative if there's one near you.

They don't have to be fancy and expensive. My local co-op strives to offer affordable options on most staples and bulk foods, and frequently undercuts the chains (including Wegmans) on produce, especially local produce when they can source it.

Do they have 20 types of chips and 300 cereals? No, but I can shop in a 20-30 minutes instead of the hour minimum Wegmans demands.

> everyone has moved on to using shadcn's system for components

I played around with shadcn for a new project a year or so ago, decided I really didn't like their fundamental approach of copying code (that now I have to maintain) into my code base. So I ended up using something else (DaisyUI), which has been reasonably nice so far.

I'm just one person (and one not super plugged into the frontend scene), but "everyone" feels like a gross overestimation. I would guess it's not even a majority.

Fair question.

The GitHub Pages article is intentionally minimal, but it’s not meant to be a generic LLM dump.
The examples come from real issues I’ve hit while working with Kubernetes manifests and CI pipelines —
especially duplicate keys, implicit type coercion, and indentation edge cases that silently break JSON conversion.

I’m actively expanding it with:
- concrete Kubernetes + API payload examples
- cases where YAML parses but produces invalid JSON
- notes on tooling differences (yq, js-yaml, browser-based parsers)

The online converter exists mainly as a reference implementation that runs fully client-side and exposes these edge cases clearly:
https://jsonviewertool.com/yaml-to-json

Happy to improve the guide based on feedback — appreciate the pushback.

Again, worrying about the long term value is an entirely different problem from worrying about your assets temporarily shrinking 10%. I was talking about the former. SVB, an example of the latter, does not affect my argument. And again, SVB could have used shorter term bonds to avoid that problem.

> I'd be very happy to have you as my investor in some long term bonds---with terrible below-market-but-barely-positive interest rates.

Very funny. Look, that's one feature of Treasury bonds, not the only feature. They get pretty good yields compared to gold in the long term, and you can trust them a lot.

See my OP.

In short, the appalling treatment of renters in Australia is due to the chronic undersupply of housing; if landlords had to compete for tenants it would not be possible to mistreat them in the way many currently do.

There is also scope for better regulation of tenancies and indeed the Victorian government has passed some reforms in this area.

I was raised on the internet and spent so much time playing MUDs which then got me to want to create my own and learn to code. I played Abandoned Reality http://abandoned.org/ and it was such an amazing experience learning to write and play pretend. My wife and I met playing Abandoned Reality and turned out only lived 45 minutes away from each other.

I hope a few people try it out and get hooked because of your post.

We have in other domains, there's a reason whistleblower protections and rewards exist.

There needs to be protections and incentives for, for example, low level employees to report their employers when they're privy to them breaking the law.

I'd argue recording people to the point of virtual stalking, selling data, building dossiers, etc is a violation of basic trust and the foundation of a low trust society.

What does it say about the current administration that appointed a science-denying halfwit to run HHS and knowingly kill children with his anti-vaxx bullsh*t?

And 52 GOP coward senators that approved the idiot. The only stand out was Mitch McConnell because he was almost paralyzed by polio as a child and knows first hand the damage RFK is doing.

I'm amazed the new guidelines don't recommend a daily portion of roadkill, preferably raw.

Thanks! Good to know I’m not missing something here. And yeah, it’s always just seemed to me better to frame it as: let’s find a mathematical structure to relate every embedding vector in a sequence to every other vector, and let’s throw in a bunch of linear projections so that there are lots of parameters to learn during training to make the relationship structure model things from language, concepts, code, whatever.

I’ll have to read up on merged attention, I haven’t got that far yet!
by rambojohnson | 2026-01-08 02:31:10+00:00
you’re treating narrative completeness as a prerequisite for legitimacy. that makes any systemic issue unfalsifiable unless someone can account for every market, municipality, and incentive simultaneously.

this is an impossible burden of proof. requiring a perfectly schematic, end-to-end causal story before acknowledging harm is a convenient way to dismiss any structural concern.

pointing out that housing markets are complex doesn’t invalidate localized, repeatable effects or concentrated power. that just raises the bar of explanation until lived outcomes are dismissed as “just-so stories”, which matches the tone of your condescension.

Too many calories is the basic explanation for why American's health sucks. Calories available per person has gone up ~32% since the 1960s (we obviously can't measure calories consumed per person, but supply and demand would dictate these excess calories are going somewhere). It is not clear to me that meat specifically is a problem so much as excess consumption leading to obesity, which then causes chronic health problems downstream.

Though of course "meat" is too vague a category to be helpful. Obviously there's a link between beef and heart disease and colorectal cancer. There seems to be no health problems associated with consuming chicken or seafood.

The text definitely the "jump from dramatic crescendo to dramatic crescendo" quality of certain LLM texts. If you read closely, it also has adjective choice that's more for dramatic than appropriate to the circumstances involves (a quality of LLM texts it also helpfully explains).

I don't know if this proves it's an LLM text or whether that style is simply spilling out everywhere.

I think Java’s DNS namespacing is, at best, only a weak benefit to the supply chain security posture of Java packaging as a whole. I think it’s more that Java is (1) a batteries-included language, (2) lacks the same pervasive open source packaging culture that Python, Rust, JS, etc. have, (3) is much more conservative around dependency updates as a community, and (4) lacks a (well-known?) build time code execution vector similar to JS’s install scripts or Python’s setup.py.

(Most of these are good things, to be clear!)

I made one a 68010 emulator in C in 1994.

For the opcode dispatch, I made a file which consisted of regex and name pairs. The regexes matched strings of 0s and 1s: the bit patterns of the opcode space. The names mapped these to C functions. A script processed the file, generating the dispatch switch.

I seem to remember that on a 66 MHz 486 DX2 box running Linux, the thing was emulating about half a million instructions per second.

Code: totally lost to the sands of time.

>Criminality is a breach of trust.

I dare you to explain how without using a) an example where in the absence of law trust would not also be breached b) claiming the tipster's trust is breached because they inherit that breach through the N levels of government above them until you get to a level that both the narc and the IRS inherit from c) making some assertion that would create either insanity or hilarity if used to reason about other mundane illegality (e.g bringing some personal weed through a non legal state).

Also the cash under the table workforce is alive and well wheras the mail order drugs industry goes through great pains to structure itself and engage in opsec such that trust is not needed. That would seem to indicated that tax evasion is not inherently a breach of trust.

I mean, if it meant the infrastructure operated under a franchising model with distributed admin like McD, it would look quite different!

There is more than one way to interpret the term "trusted". The average dev will probably take away different implications than someone with your expertise and context.

I don't believe this double meaning is an unfortunate coincidence but a clever marketing move.

In the same category: "Trusted Computing", "Zero trust" and "Passkeys are phishing-resistant"

The immigration laws of this country still require, on the paper that most of trusted until not so long ago, due process, which ICE are flagrantly violating, to include "arresting"(kidnapping) people following the written law to gain citizenship and cancelling the programs that people have been living under for decades that granted them legal non-citizenship status.

You can call that "enforcing the law" once you admit that the "law" is, at this point, the whim of a despot and his cronies

I don’t think it’s fundamentally a bad thing. It has its place. But it’s an industry that’s easily exploited - I rented over a dozen places and like 80% would try to do things that the tenant handbook would not allow. I sued one of them, and settled out of court for another. And surprise surprise a lot of them don’t want to rent in areas that are pro-tenant rights.

That’s kind of how allergies are discovered though. Doctors will tell you to go on a restrictive food diet and tell you to binary search for it if it doesn’t cause anaphylaxis. Based on my experience with allergies if it’s not anaphylaxis then allergies aren’t considered super important to resolve by doctors. Finally the immune system is complicated and your daughter may have an unusual reaction which may not be IGe mediated. In other words it could be a reaction to a foreign protein and not an anti-body histamine spike in which case: yes it’s extremely unpleasant and feels like an allergy, but because it doesn’t lead to anaphylaxis it’s not a medical concern.

There are only two places I still routinely wear a mask (n95) these days: Airplanes from waiting at the gate until about 10 minutes after takeoff when the air handling system has had time to clear things out (and the same after landing), and hospital/doctors visits. It's such a high ROI.

We used to observe that our kid(s) got sick every time we flew over the winter break to visit family. We no longer have this problem. (we do still have kids.) Not getting sick turns out to be really quite nice. :-) Hanging out in the pediatrician's office surrounded by snotty, coughing children who are not mine...
