This design appears to be 220VAC only. And I’m assuming all metric threads and other measurements, too.

I think I could live with all the other components being metric, if they just had a way to work with standard U.S./Imperial containers as well.

Oh, and they need a 120VAC design for the motor and all the electronics inside.

Or, a design that can handle both 120VAC and 240VAC, as well as both 50hz and 60hz.

I can only speak for the Cinnamon desktop environment on Linux Mint, but it’s very simple:

- Apps always launch on the monitor your mouse cursor is on

- Switching the focused window to the other monitor is Win+Shift+Arrow Keys

So if I clicked to open an app, it’s on the monitor I’m already looking at. If I used a keyboard shortcut, win+shift+arrow is super easy and simple.

The fact that it’s a stupid simple rule means I can get way better at just doing things by muscle memory… I don’t have to worry about being outsmarted by the window manager.

A pipeline that takes static meshes (no rigs, no annotations, no category priors) and generates plausible, physically-grounded 4D dynamics — deformations, contacts, multi-object interactions — by distilling motion from video diffusion models into an explicit hierarchical 4D representation.

This is true, but the tech world is very interconnected and broadly supports/enables human rights abuses and war crimes to agree that most industries are not.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft develop tech used in the genocide of Palestinians, this is basically an IBM and Nazi Germany situation. And many more directly support genocide and human rights abuses as well, while many others are happy to pay those companies millions of dollars for their services.

It would be absolutely lovely if Google asked users to opt-in rather than force a large file download on them.

I’m going to attribute this to stupidity instead of malice, but it’s pretty much the height of SV arrogance to assume that unannounced multi-GB files are okay for any purpose, let alone generative AI that the user hasn’t opted into.

Some people still have shitty internet and/or bandwidth caps.

Yes, there have been cases where this has happened (https://notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.ru-mitm/), but it's really now into the realm of

1) How to secure routing information (some says RPKI, some argues that's not enough)

2) Principal-Agent problem (jabber.ru's hijack relied on (presumably) Hetzner being forced to do it by German law agents based on the powers provided under the German Telecommunications Act)

ES should be thought of as a json key value store and search engine. The json key value store is fully consistent and supports read after write semantics, refresh is needed for search api. In some cases it does make sense to treat it as a database provided the key value store semantics is enough.

I used it about 7 years ago. Text search was not that heavily used, but we utilized the keyword filter heavily. It's like having a database where you can throw any query at it and it would return a response in reasonable time, because you are just creating an index on all fields.

Why? Just out of curiosity. Is it that you don’t need that much low end for the media you’re usually playing through your monitors or do the 8030Cs have enough low end to eliminate the need for a separate woofer?

I’ve been debating getting genelecs for a few years now but the price jump from something like JBLs or Yamahas is so huge that I can’t justify it. At least not on my current budget.

I had pentiums with voodoos back then, when Unreal came out it did not perform particularly well on that hardware compared to nvidia and didn't have the same graphics quality. Unreal with the nvidia TNT2/GeForce 256 marked the beginning of the end for the voodoo era, if memory serves.

3dfx hay day was really quite quake-centric, you'd be remiss to not use their hardware in a vintage quake pc build.

I had a Dell thunderbolt hub monitor (not sure if that was the exact name for it but functionally the same thing) in idk 2018? 1440p. Loved it. It played so well with my 2016 MBpro too. Even had HDD’s running through it. It worked fantastically from top to bottom.

For 2 years.

Obviously this is not the same product and it has been a long time. But man I hadn’t thought about that in years and now I’m all bitter about it again ha

This is exactly why I've become paranoid about what gets stored in cloud services, even ones I generally trust. The policy changes can happen overnight, and suddenly data you uploaded under one set of assumptions is now being used for something completely different.

To reduce this risk, either completely remove truly sensitive documents from cloud services or implement client-side encryption before uploading them anywhere. The key insight is that if the service can read your files to train models, you don't actually have privacy regardless of what the policy says today.

I'm building PrivaVault specifically because I got burned by a similar policy change last year. The approach is zero-knowledge encryption, where we literally can't read user documents even if we wanted to. Launching in 7 days if anyone wants to check it out, but honestly the broader principle applies: encrypt before it leaves your device, or don't be surprised when it ends up training someone's AI.

Flux2 Klein isn’t some generation leap or anything. It’s good, but let’s be honest, this is an ad.

What will be really interesting to me is the release of Z-image, if that goes the way it’s looking, it’ll be natural language SDXL 2.0, which seems to be what people really want.

Releasing the Turbo/Distilled/Finetune months ago was a genius move really. It hurt Flux and Qwen releases on a possible future implication alone.

If this was intentional, I can’t think of the last time I saw such shrewd marketing.

There is a big difference. Hundreds of Iranian police and military have been killed. Peaceful protest is a very different thing than armed riots. Even if you support the overthrow of the theocratic dictatorship in Iran, it's hard to say that they're any more brutal than any other country based on the facts, and they are considerably less brutal than the Israeli state.

I've gone the other direction - and after having struggled with other various monitors (the worst is easily the SAMSUNG 49" Odyssey Neo G9 G95NA - both cruddy capability (should have noted before buying it has no Power Delivery) as well as easily some of the blurriest text ever) - I've decided I will only ever buy Dell Monitors. Every one I've purchased (5 of them) in the last 15sh years has been a flawless performer - no hardware failures either.

Every monitor on every desk at work (around 3000 desks) is a Dell U3821DW - no broadscale systemic complaints that I've ever heard of.

I'm currently using my 4K 27" Dell P2715Q that I bought for $400 back in December 2017, and I've carried (physically) with me from office to office from Michigan to the Bay Area - thing runs for 10+ hours a day (minus weekend) for 8 years running. Eventually it's going to have to give in- and when it does - definitely going to buy another Dell (probably the U2725QE 27" 4K)

My commercial agents are just wrappers on top of GPT/Claude/Gemini so the standard deployment ways on Azure/AWS/GCP apply with integrations to whatever systems customers have like JIRA, Confluence etc. Some need to automate away some folks with repetitive work, some need to improve time to delivery with their people swamped by incoming work, hoping to accelerate cognitively-demanding tasks etc.

The criminal complaint is here, allegations begin on page 7: https://prod-i.a.dj.com/public/resources/documents/andrew-le...

The part Left seems to be responding to in his article is:

Thanks for chiming in! I remember now that you also said this on the LE community forum.

Right, that explains it. So the use would be for things other than websites or for websites that don't need to support Chrome (and also need clientAuth)?

I guess I find it hard to wrap my head around this because I don't have experience with any applications where this plus a publicly trusted certificate makes sense. But I suppose they must exist, otherwise there would've been an effort to vote it into the BRs.

If you or someone else here knows more about these use cases, then I'd like to hear about it to better understand this.
by Privavault | 2026-01-17 02:40:15+00:00
The zero-knowledge architecture is crucial for this use case. One thing I've been contemplating while building PrivaVault (launching next week) is the tension between E2EE and search/organization features. Users need to find their documents quickly, but you can't build server-side search if you can't read the content.

We ended up implementing client-side encrypted search indices that sync across devices—adds complexity but preserves the zero-knowledge guarantee. Curious how Agam Space handles this? The demo looks clean, but I couldn't tell if search works on encrypted content or just filenames.
by refulgentis | 2026-01-17 02:42:17+00:00
I’m a bit confused, both you and another commenter mention something called Z-Image, presumably another Flux model?

Your frame of it is speculative, i.e. it is forthcoming. Theirs is present tense. Could I trouble you to give us plebes some more context? :)

ex. Parsed as is, and avoiding the general confusion if you’re unfamiliar, it is unclear how one can observe “the way it is looking”, especially if turbo was released months ago and there is some other model that is unreleased. Chose to bother you because the others comment was less focused on lab on lab strategy.

If you don't like $TSLA being in your various index funds, isn't it relatively trivial to concoct a short position that offsets your net shares owned?

All the indexes publish what the index is comprised of, I bet if you told ${AI} all your positions it would go figure out what your net $TSLA position is.

I think $TSLA valuation is insane, but I've seen what happens to people who short it...

It is pure game theory. An aggressive person expects no bad outcomes from his passive victim. If they get a signal that their own outcome may be not that good, even marginally, this very often changes their behaviour.

That's why the advice to act submissively presented as "avoiding confrontation" is often the wrong advice.

You are not seeking confrontation, but you should signal that you are ready for confrontation. Stops aggressive behaviour very often.

Z-Image is another open-weight image-generation model by Alibaba [1]. Z-Image Turbo was released around the same time as (non-Klein) FLUX.2 and received generally warmer community response [2] since Z-image Turbo was faster, also high-quality, and reportedly better at generating NSFW material. The base (non-Turbo) version of Z-Image is not yet released.

I have the smallest of both: 8010As and a 7040A sub.

I'm sending almost nothing to the sub, and I'm guessing the 8030s would provide most of what I'm using the 7040 for without the inconvenience.

I'm in a small room and going for accuracy, so don't need much bass.

DuckDB is awesome.

If you want it's power as a query engine but like to write python instead of SQL, I highly recommend using it as a backend for the Ibis dataframe library

It let's you interchange pythonic dataframe syntax (like Pandas and Polars) with SQL that 'compile' down to SQL in DuckDB dialect

And you can use those queries interchangably in postgres, sqlite, polars, spark, etc

I’m happy that this shows that hard work, understanding your codebase, having performant software, having actually working software, rigorously measuring and proving proof of results still matters.

There’s a huge difference between using LLMs to offload any hard work and for LLMs to be of some assistance while you are in control and take ownership of the output.

Unfortunately, the general public probably didn’t try a git clone and cargo build, and took the article at face value.
by refulgentis | 2026-01-17 02:56:48+00:00
Ahh I see, and Klein is basically a response to Z-Image Turbo, i.e. another 4-8B sized model that fits comfortably on a consumer GPU.

It’ll be interesting to see how the NSFW catering plays out for the Chinese labs. I was joking a couple months ago to someone that Seedream 4’s talents at undressing was an attempt to sow discord and it was interesting it flew under the radar.

The modern alarmist environmentalist projections have even less plausible basis in any kind of science (compared to e.g. IPCC ones [1]) than the Population Bomb et al. Let's hope their moral panic doesn't inspire genocidal policies like Indian forced sterilizations and One Child policy.

We live in the age of unparalleled prosperity, as displayed in part on one of the first slides, human vs wild biomass. Just like with their forebears, framing it as a bad thing in the very beginning really betrays the fundamentally anti-human nature of the modern environmentalists.

"Corporate capitalism" is part of the package that delivered said prosperity; "social media", "surveillance" is just people making choices that old man yelling at cloud disagrees with - like, I am totally with him on privacy, but most people don't care about privacy, and unlike him I do not think I have the right to decide for them.

Just like Paul Ehrlich et al, these people are delusional and truly evil.

So to when Hildegard von Bingen was only one of many extremely powerful and influential abbesses that were polymaths and prolific artists and writers and educators of women?

I’ve never understood this mentality that people do read and watched handmaids tale and have done kind of weird obsession built on a literal fiction story, a made up story… especially since the reality is not only the polar opposite, but in no place in the planet has things ever been better for any people relative to all other places than in the very European societies that you types are so suicidally fixated on being destructive of.

The irony of the handmaids tale types from my experience is that they are, in their suicidally manic self-harming obsession, advocates for the spread of Islam in the very western countries that have provided all of humanity all of its freedoms and comforts, which would and seemingly will lead to an actual handmaids tale type scenario.

Have you ever heard of what the Ottoman Empire did? It makes the handmaids tale sound like a wholesome dynamic.

> All information should be free.

No, the loudness is a whole separate dimension. 99% of the time, there's no need to be loud in public. Not when you're talking on the phone (the microphones on a phone work great!), not when you're having a conversation with one or two other people close to you. Not when talking to Siri (etc). You can talk quietly in a place that isn't very loud, and in a place like an airport you can talk just loud enough to be clearly heard -- there's no need to shout or to project your voice.

There are exceptions to this -- of course nobody expects you to worry about your volume at a concert between sets, at a sporting event, etc. But people who speak very loudly everywhere are annoying to everyone around them.

on cursory google, https://github.com/NotMedic/NetNTLMtoSilverTicket/blob/maste... is 6 years old and was old news when it was committed, and https://crack.sh/netntlm/ has been around online for at least 10 and I think more like 15+ years.

The criminal complaint posted above alleges that he was not truthful, which presumably a 'reputable' activist short selling firm would be. The other difference I suppose would be buying positions with horizons longer than 1 week, so that you are exposed to the actual fundamental performance of the company instead of just the immediate reaction to your publicity.

Welcome to HN, thanks for sharing. That’s a very sad story, I hope you aren’t traumatized still.

A reasonable framework does exist. Since the claim is “we made a web browser from scratch” the framework is:

1. Does it actually f*** work?

2. Is it actually from scratch?

It fails on both counts. Further, even when compiled successfully, as others have pointed out, it takes more than a minute to load some pages which is a fail for #1.

They should have asked ChatGPT, which when asked about publishing blog posts about a current lawsuit you're involved in, suggests that this is usually a bad idea.

• Publishing blog posts is almost always a bad idea

- The upside is small; the downside can be enormous

- Silence is often a strategic asset

• Say nothing publicly beyond court filings

Pretty good advice!

I’ve been using a single 24 inch 1080p benq usb c monitor after realizing 4k 27 inch scaling is just terrible and 5k 27 inch is just too pricey. It’s a budget monitor but it’s surprising what 140$ can get you these days cause the quality of the panel is really good. It supports daisy chaining so I can add another monitor to my m1 air (which I can’t otherwise I think). If it was 4k 24 inch I’d buy two as I find that size kinda perfect.

Personally I’ve found that a single monitor is enough 90% of the time while coding. It’s when I need to do something nitty gritty that I need a second monitor.

That being said working with only a laptop is painful and extremely uncomfortable for the posture. I don’t think I can get anything real done without a monitor keyboard and mouse. Going down to an 11 inch iPad sounds impossible.
