oh sure yeah, they're expensive (although used are getting cheaper!). I didn't read "holding out for a 400m range" as "holding out for a 400m range less than $X". But yes, all the long range EVs, rivian, lucid, are expensive today. I think it will take another year or two for more affordable long range options to come out in the rest of the world, and some unknown years after that for them to hit the US due to protectionism and tariffs.

All that said, the average new car price in the US topped $50k in 2025, which is pretty wild in of itself. These expensive EVs are actually cheaper than some of the optioned up trucks that sell in huge numbers. It all seems crazy over-extended debt to me but, is what it is.

I doubt we can solve this for other people. Each person must solve it for themselves, but for most people the solution will be joining a church and attending weekly. From there, get involved with a ministry, that will lead to appreciation dinners, which will lead to getting invited to the non-religous stuff the people are involved with.

The introductory paragraph in Simple English is: 'A diamond (from the ancient Greek αδάμας – adámas "unbreakable") is a re-arrangement of carbon atoms (those are called allotropes).' Seriously?

Compare with the Britannica one: 'diamond, a mineral composed of pure carbon. It is the hardest naturally occurring substance known; it is also the most popular gemstone. Because of their extreme hardness, diamonds have a number of important industrial applications.'

Britannica concisely summarizes the basic knowledge about diamonds in an easy-to-read short paragraph.

All of the replies so far are suggesting ideas for an individual but seem to be missing the real crux of the matter...

Yes, you'll be less lonely if you join a group, get out of your house, etc... But how do we actively incentivize that? Social media and whatnot have hundreds of thousands of people working around the clock to find ways to suck you in and monopolize your time.

While "everyone should recognize the problem and then take steps to solve it for themselves" is the obvious solution, it's also not practical to just have everyone collectively decide they need to get out more without SOME sort of fundamental change in our society/incentives/etc

To my view it looks more like an attempt to inflate a minor controversy by excessively documenting it. If this much effort were being put into writing about government policy I'd totally agree with you, but this level of detail is uncharacteristic even for Wikipedia.

> That being said, there should be absolutely no regard for "sensitivity" or the fact that Musk is a living person

Wikipedia always had particularly strong rules about how living persons are supposed to be covered. I wouldn't agree with making exceptions just because I dislike a powerful individual.

In terms of leaving the page up: I don't expect Wikipedia to be censored, but looking at this page the content unavoidably comes across as something that'd only merit a couple of lines on the main article. Instead you have a literal essay just to record "those aligned with the left believe that Musk made a Nazi salute, those aligned with the right say that he didn't".

1) This wasn't a poll of all Europeans, only of ten EU countries polled (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Denmark, Estonia, Portugal, Hungary and Bulgaria).

2) Participants weren't asked if we were any ally, they were asked if we were "an ally - that shares our interests and values". Shared values have little to do with what an "ally" means in the common parlance.

3) Excluding the full context could give you a false idea of how they view us. The full results:

16% - An ally—that shares our interests and values

51% - A necessary partner—with which we must strategically cooperate

13% - Don't know or refuse to answer

12% - A rival—with which we need to compete

8% - An adversary—with which we are in conflict

4) The idea that Europeans don't see us as allies is belied by their answer to the question "At the current time, would you support or oppose developing an alternative European nuclear deterrent that does not rely on the US". Only 16% strongly supported it. So they don't "see us as an ally", but they're happy to rely on us as their strategic bulwark? Hmm.

5) In my mind, the only question that actually matters on this survey, w/ regards to the opinions of our European friends, was this one: "If your country was forced to choose between being a part of an American or a Chinese bloc of countries, which would you prefer it to end up in?" Sadly, European responses to that question were not provided! If anyone delves into the underlying data, I'd love to know the results for this question.

For sure. I would have been in real trouble if covid had happened when I was 20. The few times I tried to work remotely it took a matter of just a few days to go stir crazy. The office was a good environment for me (it helped that it was legitimately a good environment with good coworkers, not everyone has that).

As a family man with a wife, two kids, two cats, and a dog ... working from home is no big deal for me now. I prefer it. I got lucky that we did not get forced into this until I was in a position to handle it well.

While studying a neuroscience-adjacent MSc at UCL in London during the mid-2010s, senior academics would regularly recommend Wikipedia as an excellent primer for neuroanatomy. They wouldn't do it for people on actual neuroscience courses, who needed to know things in more detail, but they were very complimentary about the accuracy of the information on there.

i wonder if a resurgence in social clubs like the Elks club/Moose lodge would ever catch on.

i don't know how big they ever were in the past, but it seemed like it was commonly represented in media in the 50s/60s (e.g., the flintstones had a parody of the lodge which would suggest that they were common enough that people were familiar)

I created a "mcp server" for sprites yesterday through this new ecosystem I am working on, you can clone the collection, and then just add this https://tpmjs.com/api/mcp/ajax/sprites/sse mcp sse url to claude desktop, or anything you want.

tpmjs is a registry of ai sdk npm packages (i created them for sprites), which you can add to personal collections, we automatically server your collections as mcp servers if you want.

Creating sprites in an example chat bot -> https://imgur.com/a/ETNxR1o

Creating sprites in claude desktop -> https://imgur.com/myC0U28

Listing out my sprites in claude desktop -> https://imgur.com/rgBU0jm

You can view the collection of tools here -> https://tpmjs.com/ajax/collections/sprites (fork it to use it yourself)

I'm looking into exe.dev and sprites.dev to build out extra features into tpmjs, agent sandboxes make a lot of sense.

I'd like to assert here that "community" can exist online as well. It's not just people staying indoors; it's about how they interact with what others write and whether they even care that another person wrote it. It's about things like coming to recognize usernames and build trust.

Of course, LLM generated content threatens that, so things have gotten worse.

I don’t think this is true. Palantir are fundamentally a consultancy with a graph database and a map. They sell expensive “forward deployed engineer” consulting services to integrate things with their graph database and map. As far as I know they still don’t broker or share data - the customer provides the data and they provide the database and visualization. Has that changed?
by lcnPylGDnU4H9OF | 2026-01-15 19:13:43+00:00
I see your perspective now. Of course, "peaceful protest" is not an oxymoron and my understanding of "peaceful" is accurate. Instead, you are trying to say that words mean all of their definitions every time they're used. That's obviously not true, just taking a casual glance at what an "auto-antonym" is.

You cannot select a specific meaning of a word which people don't intend to mean and say that, because their use is not accurate to your cherry-picked meaning, their use of the word must be wrong. What happened is that they simply had an intended meaning which you did not understand, in this case seemingly obstinately. If there is a meaning of "peaceful" which fits their intended meaning, that's the one they meant for a reader or listener to understand and the ones others have in mind are irrelevant. Put another way: you do not decide what my words mean any more than I decide what yours mean.

What you are suggesting has never been the bar people expect a "peaceful protest" to meet. It does not mean "without strife, turmoil, or disagreement", it means "without committing violence". That is not a logical oxymoron; the phrase can therefore only be oxymoronic to the staunchest of pedants who simply fail to understand how communication works.

He's a proponent, but that doesn't mean his analysis isn't useful. It's clear and mostly accurate and when he gets something wrong he makes it right. Does he do all that with rose tinted glasses, probably, but my experience reading him is that he's sharp, thoughtful, and entirely reasonable.

Dismissing the opportunity to learn because the person offering you knowledge is enthusiastic about his area of expertise is probably shortsighted.

great question

claude-mem uses a compaction approach. It records session activity, compresses it, and injects summaries into future sessions. Great for replaying what happened.

A-MEM builds a self-evolving knowledge graph. Memories aren’t compressed logs. They’re atomic insights that automatically link to related memories and update each other over time. Newer memories impact past memories.

For example: if Claude learns “auth uses JWT” in session 1, then learns “JWT tokens expire after 1 hour” in session 5, A-MEM links these memories and updates the context on both. The older memory now knows about expiration. With compaction, these stay as separate compressed logs that don’t talk to each other.

I don't know if that's totally fair to Chrome. The specification was undergoing a lot of changes at the time, and V8 decided to wait for the specification to stabilize; meanwhile, Anba kept working on the implementation for FireFox. Additionally, the version of Temporal that Deno exposed last year was the heavily out of date to the most recent specification and had a large portion of the specification that was not even implemented.

The criticism was that Google have a dominant position on search market, Google selected 1% of their users to run the experiment on, but without informing them. That is users didn’t know that their search results were manipulated and articles they would otherwise have found didn’t show up.

So the argument presented by Danish authorities and media companies were that information should flow freely in a democracy and by doing a huge experiment like this without informing users is against the rights of Danish citizens.

Not everyone has left the real world, only the people who got really sucked into the online/social media world. This can maybe seem like the whole world though, if you're in that bubble.

Bars are still packed on the weekends, people still gather at churches, or gyms, or bowling leagues, or book clubs, or any number of other "IRL" activities of all kinds that are going on. You do have to make the effort to go out and get involved though, nobody is going to come and rescue you.

That may be not that amazing for a shipwreck in the Øresund. According to Wikipedia, its maximum depth is 40m (130’) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Øresund), so chances are a lot of it is less deep. There also may be sampling bias, with shipwrecks in shallower water being more likely to be found, and, if the tides flow faster in deeper water, survivorship bias.

They put together a dashboard that presents probabilistic information. We already know from several facial recognition cases that some police have a hard time differentiating known facts from probabilistic guesses. We also know that many agents of the agency using this dashboard have relatively little training, and have demonstrated very loose understanding for of fundamental rights (47 days for new recruits currently).

I would be willing to lay a bet worth a significant portion of my net worth that this dashboard will end up being involved in multiple wrongful arrests of innocent people.

Anyone working on these products should ask themselves if they believe in what they build or if they are “just doing what they are told”. If the latter, consider the cohort of people who have previously used that justification.
Show HN: BlogHunter – Generate and host SEO blog posts with AI
by the_plug | 2026-01-15 19:15:34+00:00
Hi HN,

I'm the creator of BlogHunter. I built this because I have several side projects that needed SEO traffic, but I kept burning out trying to maintain active blogs for all of them. I wanted a "set it and forget it" solution that handled everything from generation to hosting.

What it is: BlogHunter is a platform where you input topics/keywords, and it generates full-length, formatted blog posts using LLMs at scale

It then hosts these blogs for you (no WordPress/Ghost required).

It's definitely not for "thought leadership" pieces that require deep personal insight, but for top-of-funnel SEO content and filling out topic clusters, it's been working really well for me.

Would love to hear your feedback on the generated content quality and the platform itself!

> 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.

This is the wrong model:

Sitting (alone) at home and working on program code or reading scientific textbooks does have a reward. Many things for which you go outside of the house or where you interact with other people have a much lower reward. So you rather loose a rather decent local optimum, and if you don't know very well where to look outside for something really good, you get much worse results than if you simply stayed at home and do there what you love.

You don't sound like an asshole because you aren't saying bad things about the people who have the least.

It's up to you, you can just, to yourself, write down the words you'll use to write down that you'll ignore them to become more comfortable with your boundaries.

Personally I don't think handing out cash is helpful so it's not about charity it's my advice to pre-plan how you'll respond to be more comfortable than you are in reaction to these situations.

I have 2 answers to this, depending on how you define "loneliness epidemic"

Genuine loneliness, like what you described, can only really be solved by touching grass. Figure out your hobbies, or find one if you don't have any.

My answer to what a lot of people call "the male loneliness epidemic" as a woman is to say it doesn't exist, you need to figure out how to be attractive. We aren't throwing ourselves on shitty men, and most of the men that complain are complaining because they feel entitled to us and thus put no effort into being attractive. The quickest way to be attractive is have empathy and not be a douche. Listen to peoples needs, and don't feel entitled to our attention

Yep, I met my wife at an office party - she didn't work for the company, just stopped by with someone who did

And not just the office friends that come from it -- I spent an hour a day on the bus, grabbed lunch around town, was downtown when work wrapped up and ended up at a nearby bar/restaurant, went to shows because I was downtown, etc.

Just being forced out of the house led to SO MUCH MORE.

Now I work from home and while we do travel a lot, we barely ever leave the house when we're home. We didn't make a single new friend for like 5 years (and we are a VERY social couple, generally the center of most of our friend groups). We've only just now started making new friends again now that our daughter is a toddler and getting us out of the house -- and it is incredibly refreshing

> My guess is a deal of some sort gets done.

What kind of deal do you imagine? The US already has full access to expand their military presense in Greenland. About the only thing they aren't allowed to do is place nuclear weapons there. Nobody is stopping American Companies from entering resource extraction there either.

> “it’s not ours to give but we will fight to not give it up” is a little odd.

There isn't a law which would allow Denmark to sell or give away Greenland, but of course we will come to the defense of a NATO member if they are attacked, we've done so before.

If Greenland decides to leave our Kingdom and enter a deal then they can do so.

> That is far more costly to Europe and NATO than to the US.

I'm not convinced. The EU doesn't want to play world police, so we need NATO for defense. We've been very reliant on US companies for this, but every European nation has been building up the EU defense industry and have been avoiding making US purchases for a year.

I don't think anyone in the EU ever wanted a bad relationship with USA. We owe USA a lot for it's role in the post WWII world and up until Trump, but it's not like we're destroying the friendship.

The 'both were just signed' argument fails to address the structural anomalies. If Microsoft signed both, why does the malware use RSA-2048 while the official binary uses RSA-4096?. Furthermore, the malware carries a compilation timestamp from the year 2097, an APT technique to evade security filters.
We aren't just seeing 'two signed files'; we are seeing a malicious binary (verified with sandbox escape and session theft) that shouldn't exist in Microsoft's signing pipeline, yet it carries a valid signature and was delivered via a zero-click attack from an official CDN. This points directly to a compromise of the trust infrastructure (Key compromise, CA breach, or verification bypass), not a routine signing event

* Gallup (not Gallop) has the English questions and responses in the PDF at the bottom of the page. They will also respond if you email them so you can check if wording changed significantly.

* Yes, I am pretty sure the Gallup thing is showing exactly what I think it does considering I said "81% are [somewhat] satisfied or very satisfied" and the Gallup survey shows that 81% are somewhat satisfied or very satisfied.

* The fact that the Hacker News community was enthusiastic about the thesis of a loneliness epidemic during a period when satisfaction was rising casts aspersions on "the fact that it is dropping is the important part". When satisfaction was rising, there were still posts on that where everyone was agreeing about how bad it was.

Most interesting pages are probably `music/` and `plog/`.

Optionally HTTPS, though some of the features don't work right due to links to files on personal servers that I haven't yet got around to the HTTPS rigamarole (they are running like 15-year-old Ubuntu and can't run Certbot; it's such a pain).

It's mentioned that changes in ambient temperature may be causal to this affect, citing the availability of heating.

I wonder if our bodies will become less able to heat and cool over time.

I'm in the Midwest US where outside temperatures swing incredibly through the year. Inside, people aren't very tolerant of different temperatures. Either the heater or AC is blasting.

When I've visited Korea, there was somewhat less extreme temperatures, but a lot more tolerance for it being a little cold or a little hot inside.

I’ve never worked at Palantir, but once you get past the noisy leadership’s villain virtue signaling, every report I’ve read about the platform itself gives me strong “typical enterprise vendor” vibes. A lackluster software offering that is overhyped to institutional purchasers, then shoved down frontline employees’ throats because the vendor is good at navigating the sales and compliance labyrinth to secure deals.

The goals and motivation for using these tools, and their broad allowance of access to what should be highly controlled data (or in some cases even not collected at all) is the problem. Don’t give Palantir the bad-boy street cred they crave, focus on the policy decisions that are leading to agencies wanting tools like this in the first place.

> 500MB is just not enough RAM for a good HA experience

Strong disagree: my experience has been great, my HA has been running on a Zero 2W for more than 2 years! I have several HACS plugins enabled - just not any if the video or AI stuff. The same Pi concurrently runs PiHole. For a while, it also acted as a git mirror via iSCSI-backed Gitea, but I had to migrate Gitea off of it since it was memory-hungry. You can do a lot with 500MB in headless mode.

Hey, I love you.

Since I was a small child, my grandfather used to beat me savagely and shake me and pin me to the ground, screaming that the devil was inside of me and that I would never be capable of loving or being loved. This was literally beaten into me. He'd beat me with the buckle end of the belt, like a whip, hitting my face, arms, whatever he could. He'd keep beating me until I couldn't cry anymore, telling me that men are not supposed to cry, and that it was his responsibility to teach me not to cry. I flashback at least once a day to it.

But, he was wrong. I love a lot. So much that sometimes it's unbearable. I cry all the time. Sometimes out of pure love for someone. And there are people who I think love me. Of course the doubt is permanently sewn in. But my heart goes out to you, seriously. I love you just for existing and being yourself, and I hope you're okay. We're not alone. Email's in my bio if you ever want to talk.

Store fp16 vector blobs in sqlite. Load the vectors after filter queries into memory and do a matvec multiplication for similarity scores (this part will be fast if the library (e.g. numpy/torch) uses multithreading/blas/GPU). I will migrate this to the very based https://github.com/sqliteai/sqlite-vector when it starts to become a bottleneck. In my case the filters by other features (e.g. date, location) just subset a lot. All this is behind some interface that will allow me to switch out the backend.

I know it might slow things down, but why not do this:

1. Categorize certain commands (like network/curl/db/sql) as `simulation_required`
2. Run a simulation of that command (without actual execution)
3. As part of the simulation run a red/blue team setup, where you have two Claude agents each either their red/blue persona and a set of skills
4. If step (3) does not pass, notify the user/initiator
