As a Chinese living in China, you must know the layout of the city does provide logical sense. I've only been once, and I buy stuff from factories fairly often. When I went there I basically went to a mall district where all the furniture was sold, then I went to the tile district to review tiles, I went to several other "districts" that where nothing but that single item.

I went to the window factory, which was directly beside more window factories, and directly beside that was the place that extruded aluminum for use. The aluminum they used was produced a up the road in what they called the metal district.

You are even saying that "industrial clusters in China" so there is clearly some amount of planning involved. There is obviously benefits to having all of the aluminum factories beside a aluminum producer, and having the shipping/packaging warehouses by the docks, etc.

There is some amount of government work at play here, either on a small scale or a larger scale to provide a reason for places to all setup.

I've also seen things that just are not possible in North America. Asked for samples of aluminum extrusions and had the die made and extrusion done in a day. Locally it would take months before a sample is at my door.

I've sent designs for quotes and get quotes in hours, half the time factory in NA doesn't even reply. And even when it does it's more of a "go away" then anything else.

I've seen live video of robotic factories building entire cabinets for housing.

There is some amount of rose coloured glasses in this thread. But we cannot deny that China wants business and can get stuff done fast and efficiently. That cannot be said for modern day factories in US or Canada. The work ethic and desire for business are just completely different.

Sure, ebooks could be cheaper, but they’re still cheap as hell. $5-10 for what, ten hours of entertainment? A fraction of what you pay to dine out. I mean, you can be as cheap as you like, but this thread exists because you’re promoting your cheapness tactics for others to emulate, which, at scale, actively harms the very things you are enjoying. You can be cheap! It’s just parasitical, which is why I suggested it was a shameful thing to announce.

So basically you're blaming American workers for an attitude problem, when the real issue is, due to offshoring, the supply chain either doesn't exist here or isn't so centralized/expansive enough that someone has random relatives in related manufacturing businesses to send work to?

So basically, you're being unfair.

And, from personal experience, while it's not exactly the same, when I've worked with American tradesmen, they've always had someone they could refer me to for related work.

Note that the headline means it's the first time a C-17 airlifted a reactor. Of course we airlifted many reactors in other types of aircraft: a swimming pool reactor from ORNL to Geneva in 1955, a TRIGA to Geneva in 1958, the PM-1 military microreactor from Baltimore to Montana in 1961, a few TOPAZ-II space reactors in 1992.

> Okay, I think some significant self-reflection is in order here.

This feels hurtful even though its hard to disagree. Self-reflection is of course useful and I’ve done it for countless of hours and been in therapy for years.

Your boxes for transactional or non-transactional relationships are too simplistic. You maybe feel like you can compare me to someone you know and try to fit this example to your own experiences. All relationships have at least 1 person who is doing some effort to keep it going. Good ones have 2 persons.

Its of course too early to say if my methods will form long-lasting ones or not but it feels like theres a chance and so far so good. Please link me long-term studies which prove this wrong ;)

I wish you all the best and I hope you can self-reflect on your own assumptions too :)

Yep. Came to say the same thing. I'd only used Codex in VSCode and in the Codex app, and at least those have the same history, but my understanding is that the cloud and CLI versions have this hierarchy of 'visibility' [0]. Perhaps they'll need to change this design decision?

The ECREE idiom applies "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Can AI, which today cannot spell blueberry, replace humans? Obviously no. AI is a ridiculous toy, and limited tool. Fun to play with, useful in narrow circumstances. In application it deletes your entire inbox. Like an over engineered tool, it's also absurdly expensive, destined to be shelved next to the Juicero and the Presto Hotdogger.

I know someone that works in the central government of an EU country and have persuaded her to talk to the IT department in the ministry where she works to try to move away from Microsoft products. The short answer: "It's not possible for us to move away from Microsoft". And it's not that they don't want to, but they have extremely low IT resources + the employees are very reluctant to make any change. Sometimes they introduce a new program, or update an older one and there's massive whining in the entire ministry. These public employees should really try to adapt more and understand that digital environments have become crucial for independence, privacy and self-reliance.

You can always pick other components for those things. Many enterprises do this also because the included parts in M365 are usually pretty mediocre compared to AAA solutions that specialise in that part. For example dedicated MDMs are better than Intune. Dedicated IDPs are better than Entra AD. Dropbox is better than OneDrive, slack is way better than teams (to be fair, anything is better than teams :) )

The big benefit of the MS package is that you get it all for one price. And that it's integrated so you have less configuration. But they're not deal-breakers. That's why parties like Okta and MobileIron still exist. Airwatch was also really good but VMware screwed them up like they screw everything up.

But M365 is not the only game out there. Unless you're limiting yourself to wanting exactly what M365 is. Then it's only that yes.

> Is the Gaza War a genocide? Two key features of the mortality data are consistent with that charge: first, unusually high mortality among women and children; second, the sudden and dramatic fall in life expectancy.

To be fair, you'd also see this if your opponents were using human shields and hospitals for military operations, which Hamas has been documented as doing. This is not so clear cut.

Tangentially, have you got any idea what the equivalent "partial tokens revised" rate for humans is? I know I've consciously experienced backtracking and re-interpreting words before, and presumably it happens subconsciously all the time. But that means there's a bound on how low it's reasonable to expect that rate to be, and I don't have an intuition for what it is.

No. The tool uses total hardware resources, not currently available ones.

It displays current usage (via progress bars and "used" values), but the LLM model recommendations are based on raw hardware totals, not what's actually free after background processes.

This is a reasonable design choice for a "system specs" tool—it's showing what the machine has, not what it has available right now. But you're right that it could misleadingly suggest a 70B model fits on a 24GB GPU when other apps are already using 4GB.

> Basically as it gets colder water exchanges energy with the environment and gets colder.

> But once it reaches freezing temperature, it can no longer get colder and all the energy is used for the formation of crystals

Water at freezing temperature can get much colder without freezing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling:

“Water normally freezes at 273.15 K (0.0 °C; 32 °F), but it can be "supercooled" at standard pressure down to its crystal homogeneous nucleation at almost 224.8 K (−48.3 °C; −55.0 °F).”

I think a significant distinction between your approach and Claude’s approach is that your approach requires allowing your machine to accept inbound connections but Claude’s approach does not. Claude probably went with the latter to avoid a whole class of security issues and mitigate risk of users having their machines compromised. I’m not familiar with what the new vectors of attack are with Claude’s approach though.
Show HN: Seite static site generator with MCP server and Claude Code integration
by sanchezomar | 2026-02-25 13:50:50+00:00
I'm CTO at a startup, tired of maintaining five separate tools for our web presence while shipping software with Claude Code every day. So I built seite — a Rust SSG where the AI agent has a proper MCP interface to your site, not just file access.

seite mcp runs a Model Context Protocol server that exposes resources (docs, config, content, themes) and tools (build, create, search, apply theme) to any MCP-compatible agent. seite init also scaffolds a CLAUDE.md context file so the agent knows your schemas and conventions before it writes anything.

Everything else you'd expect: six bundled themes, collection presets for blog/docs/changelog/roadmap, one-command deploy to GitHub Pages/Cloudflare/Netlify, llms.txt and llms-full.txt on every build. Single binary, no runtime, sub-second builds. 331 tests.

MIT licensed, v0.1.6. Early but iterating fast — we're using it on our own startup's site so the feedback loop is tight.

I've been thinking of this too. I think Steam is, and I'll even throw in Mozilla, despite a few missteps. Gog seems okay, but that's much smaller. If we can expand to large tech organizations then Wikipedia has remained pretty consistent. Even Steam doesn't have a corporate structure in the traditional sense, and I couldn't think of a single publicly traded company I'd trust.

I think people forgot how bad it was. It was much more fragmented before but instead of services it was fragmented by time. Sure you have access to Seinfeld, but you can watch one or two Seinfelds a night at 8pm and 11pm.

I also remember base cable without any movies was around $60 or something and with some movie channels is >$100. And that's not inflation adjusted. You can easily get 3 or 4 of the top services for $100 today.

Finally claiming there are more ads on these services is a joke. There was ~20m for every 30m of programming, meaning 1/3 of the time you're watching commercials. And not just any commercials, the same commercials over and over. There was even a case of shows being sped up on cable to show more commercials.

I get it, everyone wants everything seamlessly and for next to nothing, but claiming that 90s cable was even comparable is absurd.

I think there's more to your sibling's taxes than property taxes. The data tell the opposite story - WI property taxes are higher than TX ones, at least if we look at the medians:

https://www.propertytax101.org/propertytaxbystate

As someone living in Fort Worth and making good money as a Staff SWE, I got a tax refund this year. It was due to paying interest on my house, but still.

I'd recommend asking your sibling see if they qualify for the homestead exemption, it's significant. You or they can check if they're using it and see their exact property taxes here:

Bubble doomerism is nothing novel. As is always the case, he's right vertically and wrong horizontally. Serious people in serious publications still speculated that the internet was a fad and would be over soon as late as 2008.

OpenAI will collapse, almost certainly. Anthropic might get by if they can make it to IPO before it all comes tumbling down. Google will buy up all the datacenters in a fire sale like they did with dark fiber after the .com bubble popped and continue building out stuff like NotebookLM.

Amazon and Microsoft will still be there selling server time to model providers and doing custom enterprise solutions like always. They already host the major proprietary models and sell API access.[0]

The top open models are already good enough. At this point prompting and coordination are the big bottlenecks. It would be nice if the bubble lasts long enough for open models to match at least the latest Opus.

His problem is the focus on the bubble and not on what usually happens after. People will bandy his pieces about insisting it's all short lived and they can just wait it out. Kimi K2.5, GLM 5, and MiniMax 2.5 aren't going away.

Look america's 1939+ expansion was subsided by the british empire trying to expand arms manufacture.

What america has been doing is subsiding engineering capacity in china. This was done because it created more profit for larger companies as they merged and eliminated costs. This higher profit drove a "roaring" economic expansion. But now china is capturing more of the value.

A solution is to use tax as a way to re-patriciate engineering capacity. This is kinda what trump is supposed to be doing, but carving out exceptions for friends, and using blunt instruments doesn't work all that well.

WOW I had been using the Codex app (Claude/Anthropic have a few annoying problems) and wishing there was something like this!

I often get ideas while I'm in bed or outside away from my computer, and was thinking that the ability to code on your computer from your phone, through AI, would be such a killer app.

My favorite use case would be asking the AI to review code and going over its findings/suggestions while I'm away from the computer or trying to fall asleep.

> But roughly 15% are plausible: “wooden chair,” “morning coffee.” That’s still 30 billion sensible pairs.

(1) Who counted those? Whence those numbers?

(2) The examples are normal two-word phrases with one word modifying the other, often categorised as an adjective. The examples are counter-examples to the very claim made in that article.

(3) Using Clause to brainstorm s.t. is a weird thing to say...

(4) I would say the use of 'lexicalized' is wrong or at least uncommon. It usually refers to specialised semantics of something that could be interpreted generically, too. Like 'sleeping bag'. Or indeed 'cold feet'. Lexicalisation may involve deleting spaces, like 'hotdog'. And I am pretty sure lexicalised phrasal words are usually intensionally listed in dictionaries. And so 'ice' is not lexicalised 'frozen water', but it is not overtly a phrase but is a separate atomic word.

=> I don't get the point.

This is an extremely clunky and buggy prerelease, so don't try to hot fix prod from the toilet without a different mobile frontend.

Right now:

- You can't interrupt Claude

- When you do the UI freezes

- It disconnects intermittently

- It disconnects if you switch to other parts of Claude

- It can get stuck in plan mode

- Introspection is poor

- You see XML in the output instead of things like buttons

- One session at a time

- Sessions at times don't load

- Everytime you navigate away from Code you need to wait for your session to reappear

I'm sure I'm missing a few things.

The .com purist advice is sound but you're not getting four-letter domain names that way, and in some ccTLD zones you can still.

I was price-gouged out of owning a single, rare .icu domain when renewal fee for it went from 20 usd to 220 usd overnight, just for this one domain... I'm pretty sure it's not Gandi, but the TLD opetator, because other .icu domains I've had were fine. I decided to eventually abandon them all anyway. Moved away from Gandi later when they started doing gouging of their own, too.

If they refuse to abide by the "foreign book" that govern the rules of conflict, then I'm not sure how they could legitimately use the foreign book's terms and call it a genocide. Those rules are what dictate how to classify a genocide.

The point is that high end and low end manufacturing are intimately related. You can’t outsource your low end manufacturing without your high end eventually collapsing.

The U.S. still manufactures high end products in some fields. But in many areas we have lost the high end as well as the low end. E.g. we can’t compete with the Chinese in electric cars.

Hot Take: the proactive action of the registrar here is probably more beneficial than the number of false positives captured. If the registrar is aware that Google is hot on blocking potentially harmful sites, it's right that they take action expeditiously.

The bigger problem is the unbanning - for which there should be a better system, probably that should take the form of the registrar having a short grace period to aid in the Google stuff (DNS verification etc.) with additional checks by the registrar to make sure it's not being used for spam/malicious content.

The other point being why was Google banning you so quickly? This is the opaque part. Was the site reported? Was there some URL hijinks? That's the thing you'll probably never find out.

> The domain ... has been suspended due to its blacklisting on Google Safe Browsing

Et voilà ... ! this is precisely the slippery slope I warned about a decade ago. The indirect censorship becomes direct censorship, defeating all the arguments about the morality of such a list. And:

> Not adding the domain to Google Search Console immediately. I don't need their analytics and wasn't really planning on having any content on the domain, so I thought, why bother? Big, big mistake.

Yet more monopolistic power to Google.

Hi HN - side project.

After reading about the ClawHavoc campaign and seeing how fast malicious
skills were spreading on ClawHub (1,100+ at last count), I figured it
would be useful to have something where people can actually practice
telling the difference between a legit skill and a bad one.

The game gives you realistic skill snippets. Some are safe, some are
modeled on real attack patterns - fake driver installs, hidden bash
execution, credential pass-through to the LLM context window. You
classify each one under time pressure and get feedback on what you
missed and why.

5 rounds, runs in the browser, no signup.

Happy to talk about the attack patterns or how I put the scenarios
together.

Oh man. The infinite loops of impossible verification by large companies that should know better are massive pain peeve of mine.

This goes right to the top for me, along the ubiquitous "please verify your account" emails with NO OPTION to click "that's NOT me, somebody misused my email". Either people who do this for a living have no clue how to do their job, or, depressingly more likely, their goals are just completely misaligned to mine as a consumer and it's all about "removing friction" (for them).

I don't believe that's true any longer. The U.S. moves over Greenland have a large part to play in this, but I think the sanctioning of the International Criminal Court is much more relevant.

Overnight ICC officials couldn't access email, documents etc, all because the U.S. government leaned on Microsoft. If they can do it to a United Nations court they can and will do it to anyone.

Spending money on a system you don't have any control over doesn't make sense. The public understand this.

There was an active shooter in our area a number of years ago and they locked the building down. No one was injured, it was a domestic dispute in a neighborhood a few blocks away. The police caught the guy.

In response to the need to "do something", my company put cameras in the hallway we share with other companies and gave the receptionist monitors for the cameras and a panic button that locks all the doors.

It's not a terrible thing, it's largely security theater though. Someone would have to be clearly brandishing a weapon and our receptionist would have to notice this out of all the people in the hall. It could happen, but it seems unlikely.

Hey HN, I built EventDock after losing ~$2.5k to missed Stripe webhooks during a deploy.
