> Paul Graham claimed that California cost itself by driving away Page, whereas I suggested that California wasn't actually losing much by doing so, since Page probably doesn't pay much in taxes now.

I think people are too caught up in the relative amounts here and are missing the forest for the trees. I am sure Page pays a lot in taxes. There is no doubt that he has significantly contributed to California’s economy both by his own efforts as an entrepreneur as well as his own participation in California’s economy. Every minute he lives and practically every dollar he spends inside California has a tax burden associated with it. He may not pay the same percentage of his overall wealth as others, but thats just how this all works. What matters is: Does he pay what he is legally obligated to pay and what his perception of California’s tax burden is versus other states.

It’s the downstream opportunity loss that someone like him can create for California if he leaves and then decides take investment elsewhere. This is not about the future taxes that Larry Page the individual or family won’t pay in California. It’s about those next 70k jobs that he likely wont create in California, but might create in Texas or Florida.

If you are California’s political leadership you better be concerned about why a Larry Page feels the need to leave and not have the “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out” attitude. The fastest way to hobble your state is to drive out the wealth inside it.

> If the government thinks the terms of Anthropic are unacceptable, they can just stop using them, right

That is what they are doing.

> why would you then [....] ban other companies from making business with Anthropic if they want to be a defense contractor

Because, if it shops with Anthropic code, the DoD becomes subject to the restrictions when they receive the contractor's product. Anthropic's limitation is on the use, not (just) on the product or distribution.

To stop using them requires making the suppliers still using them as well.
Show HN: Accept.md now supports SvelteKit – return Markdown from any page
by hval | 2026-02-28 00:32:54+00:00
A few days ago I shared accept.md, a small utility that lets a Next.js page return Markdown when the client sends:

Accept: text/markdown

Instead of HTML.

No one asked for SvelteKit support, still I shipped it.

It now works with:

* Next.js (App Router and Pages Router)
* SSG / SSR / ISR
* SvelteKit routes
* Vercel (no custom server required)

What it does:

If a client sends:

Accept: text/markdown

The exact same page returns clean Markdown.

If not, it behaves normally and renders HTML.

No duplicate routes.
No separate .md files.
No API layer.
No SEO changes.

Just proper HTTP content negotiation.

Why I built this:

LLMs prefer Markdown.
Internal tools prefer Markdown.
Scrapers prefer Markdown.
CLI workflows prefer Markdown.

But most sites only return HTML.

The usual solutions are:

* Maintain a parallel Markdown version
* Build a custom export route
* Create a docs API
* Spin up a custom server

That felt unnecessary.

Browsers already send Accept: text/html.
Agents can send Accept: text/markdown.

HTTP already solves this. Accept.md just makes it easy to use content negotiation inside modern frameworks without breaking static generation or edge deployments.

Design goals:

* Zero UI changes
* Zero runtime cost for normal visitors
* Works with static builds
* Cache-friendly
* Framework-native

It’s intentionally small. No heavy abstraction. Just a clean way to expose Markdown representations of existing pages.

Would love feedback — especially from people building AI-native apps, documentation systems, or content-heavy SaaS.

Curious whether Markdown negotiation becomes more common as agents become first-class web clients.

> what POSWID actually means

The phrase does not make more sense even if we go all the way back to Beers. I certainly don't feel alone in not understanding how he went from his (fair) observation that "[There's] no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do" to his more controversial conclusion: "The purpose of a system is what it does (aka POSIWID)".

Surely, there were many more sensible (but perhaps less quippy) stops between the two.

What about embedded RTOS, like WindRiver or Zephyr? What if I write a memory manager and flash storage file manager for a really barebones MCU like a PIC? It didn't even define what an operating system is. What constitutes an update? If a security patch to DOS 6 came out, would it suddenly be required to have this tech? Is z/OS going to have this tech?

Overall, I think don't think it's a bad idea for devices to be able to host an age verification system that offers requestable boolean proof of age, like if porn site demands over 18 to view, the user, regardless of age, is prompted and if they accept, it returns either a positive cryptographic claim or a cancel signal if not of age. If they don't accept the prompt, the same cancel signal goes back. The idea that this feature would need a mandate of law is dumb.

I think your opinion makes a lot of sense, although I believe the alternative I have in the game now also makes sense. It's all a matter of perspective.

Right now, I think that the way the game over is forced even with pending power-ups is a way to push the player to organize themselves better and compete with a more strategic approach.

In other words, the player has to decide between the dilemma of using the power-ups before feeling cornered or using them when they're in dire straits.

I play by using them a step before feeling cornered, and that way I avoid reaching game over with pending abilities. Either way, it's an interesting debate, and I really appreciate your point of view.

I'd assume it probably depends how large and varied your logs are?

But, my guess, I could see an algorithm like that being very fast. It's basically just doing a form of compression, so I'm thinking ballpark, like similar amount to just zipping the log

Can't be anything CLOSE to the compute cost of running any part of the file through an LLM haha

Bluster followed by a "we can't do it now but we will... soon". Whoever has the best model can do what they please you'll see. I work with these things daily as an engineer (been doing this shit for 25 years and wow it's like mana from heaven these days). Believe me no one is going to screw with themselves by not using the best one and right now Anthropic has it.

I have been awake too long so I am probably stupid.
Please have mercy.

I don't understand.
NASA says they goal of landing on the moon in 2028 is not realistic.

They are adding a launch in 2027 to do more testing.

Great.

It will be followed by one possibly two lunar landings in 2028.
Are the now 2028 landings primarily testing SpaceX integration?

The Artemis rockets are huge, and extremely expensive.
And the build time is considerable.

Now they are planning 3 rockets in two years,
each of which is not reusable?

Then they have to build those in parallel, which makes sense
but incorporating wha you learn in 2027, into rockets you have already
nearly finished seems an odd approach

This is mostly a case of them not really reporting it, MitID is down quite frequently (now once a month ish, but in the first few years every week or so), or at least partially down . They now finally have their own status page, previously you had to get your status from a provider when they noticed that logins began to fail ;)

They're very light on reporting issues, in this case Signaturgruppen a subsidiary of NETS, didn't even mark this as a full outage.

Oh yeah. I feel sooooo good dealing with Comcast. At this point in life, I spent more time on the phone with Comcast support than I ever spent time in various DMV offices.

Yeah. And once it becomes a monopoly (like Comcast), it can just keep raising prices.

WebAssembly is particularly attractive for agentic coding because prompting it to write Zig or C is no harder than prompting it to write JavaScript. So you can get the authoring speed of a scripting language via LLMs but the performance close to native via wasm.

This is the approach I’m using for my open source project qip that lets you pipeline wasm modules together to process text, images & data: https://github.com/royalicing/qip

qip modules follow a really simple contract: there’s some input provided to the WebAssembly module, and there’s some output it produces. They can’t access fs/net/time. You can pipe in from your other CLIs though, e.g. from curl.

I have example modules for markdown-to-html, bmp-to-ico (great for favicons), ical events, a basic svg rasterizer, and a static site builder. You compose them together and then can run them on the command line, in the browser, or in the provided dev server. Because the module contract is so simple they’ll work on native too.

No one cares if the Pentagon refuses to do business with Anthropic. But Hegseth has declared that effective immediately, no one else working with the DoD can either--which includes the companies hosting Anthropics models (Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet).

So it's six months to phase out use of Anthropic at the DoD, but the people hosting the models have to stop "immediately".

Which miiight impact the amount of inference the DoD would be able to get done in those six months.

It seems like some comments here are from merged threads AND front-dated?

Makes for very confusing reading when comments from "1 hour ago" are actually on preceding events from earlier, before TFA news (announcement of designation).

mods: Especially in sensitive and rapidly developing situations like this, please don't mess with timestamps of comments. It's effectively revisionism.

You could have HTTP API to GDB bridge and achieve same control with QEMU

Same for UART bridge - Have a look on STM32L403 implementation in QEMU which I believe does implement UART as well. And ADC and other peripherals.

And regarding autosnapshot, that's can be done via GDB as well - save RAM + registers and then load them back.

Google would send a header that it is appropriate for all ages (I'm not sure how the safe search toggle would interact with this, the idea is just a rough sketch after all).

When you click on a search result, you load a new page on a different website. The new page would once again come with a header indicating the content rating. This header would be attached to all pages by law. It would be sent every time you load any page.

Assuming that the actual problem here is the difficulty of implementing reliable content filtering (ala parental controls) then the minimally invasive solution is to institute an open standard that enables any piece of software to easily implement the desired functionality. You can then further pass legislation requiring (for example) that certain classes of website (ex social media) include an indication of this as part of the header.

Concretely, an example header might look like "X-Content-Filter: 13,social-media". If it were legally mandated that all websites send such it would become trivially easy to implement filtering on device since you could simply block any site that failed to send it.

> A lot easier to know things are working if ...

Which is followed by wanting an attested OS (to make sure the value is reliably reported), followed by a process for a third party to verify a government issued ID (since the user might have lied), followed by ...

It's entirely the wrong mentality. It isn't necessary for solving the actual problem, it mandates the leaking of personal data, and it opens an entire can of worms regarding verification of reported fact.

Ukrainian young (24 y.o.) man here. Living and working in police 30 kilometres away from the actual frontline.

No, thanks, we don't need those "fully automated kill bots". There's absolutely no guarantee that they wouldn't kill the operator (I mean, the one who directs them) or human ally.

We're pretty much fine with drone technology we have.

But for me personally, that's not the most important point. What is more important - and what almost no one in the Western countries seems to realise (no offence, but many of westerners seem to be kind of binary-minded: it's either 0xFFFFFF or 0x000000, no middle ground at all) - is that on the Russian side, soldiers are not "fully automated kill bots" either. Sure, there's a lot of... let's say - war criminals. Yes, for sure. But en masse they are the same young men that you can see on the Ukrainian side. Moreover, many people in Ukraine have relatives in Russia, and there already were the cases where two siblings were in different armies, literally fighting with each other. So in my opinion, "fully automated kill bots" are not an option here. At least unless you deploy them in Moscow and St. Peterburg to neutralize all of the Russian elites, military commandment and other decision-making persons of the current regime.
Shift from passive documentation to active enforcement
by iamalizaidi | 2026-02-28 00:35:16+00:00
Hey everyone,

If you work on a scaling codebase, you know the struggle of keeping architectural context alive. Senior engineers make important decisions about how the code should be structured, but new hires often don't know that context exists and end up accidentally breaking critical systems.

To fix this, I built Decision Guardian. It is an open-source tool (running as a GitHub Action or local CLI) that shifts teams from passive documentation to active enforcement.
What it exactly does: Instead of hoping developers read an external wiki, you document your architectural decisions in a simple Markdown file in your repository (e.g., .decispher/decisions.md). You map these decisions to specific files using glob patterns or advanced JSON rules (like regex or line-ranges).

When a developer opens a Pull Request that modifies those protected files, Decision Guardian automatically drops a structured comment directly into the code review, giving them the exact context and checklist they need before they merge.

Here is a real-world example of how it works:

Let's say your team has a strict rule about not breaking public API contracts.

The Setup: In your decisions.md file, you create a decision called DECISION-API-001: Public API Contract Protection and map it to the file pattern src/api/v1/*/*.ts.

The Trigger: A new developer submits a Pull Request that modifies src/api/v1/users.ts to change how a payload is formatted.

The Action: Decision Guardian instantly detects the match and posts a "Warning" comment on the PR stating: "Changes to v1 API routes affect external clients. Before merging: Update API documentation, notify integration partners, and consider a deprecation path".

Key Features:

You can categorize decisions by severity (Info, Warning, Critical).

If a developer violates a "Critical" decision, you can configure the tool to automatically fail the PR status check, preventing them from merging without approval.
It runs entirely locally or in your CI/CD pipeline, guaranteeing your source code never leaves your repository.
It essentially acts as an automated guardrail, telling your developers why a piece of code is sensitive the exact moment they try to change it.

You can check out the repo here:

I should add that using unsafe.Pointer I'm able to get a significant boost on little endian platforms, with no loss of safety (pointers are still bounds checked).

With this change, my ported driver would beat wazero on most benchmarks. I do need two 20 MiB blobs of slow to compile, unreadable, Go code in my repo, though.

I don't think I've seen much of what I'd call overt hostility. But there do seem to be a lot of firefox users commenting about not being able to use this. I don't think there'd be as many if the site wasn't saying that Firefox isn't supported because it doesn't support access to the local file system for uploads and downloads. But Firefox does indeed support that, just not via whatever API they're using.

I've had people tell me that nobody should use anything but GrapheneOS and stop supporting alternatives to throw all support into that because the others are "less secure", and now that GrapheneOS isn't for everyone and anyone -- the majority of people -- without a specific narrow selection of hardware should get lost.

We need the people who buy $100 phones to have the ability to put a better OS on them than the burning mudslide that comes with them, is all I'm saying.

Those, from what I understand, don’t hit the same and someone needs to be ready to quit to go on them, they help with withdrawal etc, definitely, but are not always successful as they don’t scratch the full itch. A bit like nicotine replacement therapy

But there’s a whole space of harm-reduction before then, which is where things like the Swiss program to provide heroin in controlled circumstances can fit in.

An opioid without respiratory depresses on problems could fit into that sort of thing pretty well.

It would help to have some direction of what to do on the landing page.

Editing to give more context:

I'm on an ultrawide and didn't see the help at the top right corner.

But, now I'm thinking: "OK, I typed something... what do I do with it?" Is the intent to copy/paste it somewhere? Take a screenshot? Does it convert to a less-savory format (e.g., latex)? Just looking for some directions.

By the way... congrats on shipping a project!

> apply the privacy and data protections afforded to children to all consumers and prohibits an online service, product, or feature from, among other things, using dark patterns to lead or encourage children to provide personal information beyond what is reasonably expected to provide that online service, product, or feature or to forego privacy protections

My question, is if "the children" are worth protecting, why not adults? I would like to opt into not having to deal with dark patterns. Why not a age independent system, which a user can opt into and which "children" are automatically optd into.

That doesn’t seem to match up with the original tweet though - it sounds a heck of a lot stronger:

> Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic

Emphasis mine.

And I’m looking at news organizations that presumably have staffs of legal analysts pouring over this stuff, and they also seem to be saying that it can’t be any commercial activity:

> The label means that no contractor or supplier that works with the military can do business with Anthropic.

It is a gift of six months of the service. And I don’t think being built using OSS matters here? For example, if AWS gave Linux maintainers free EC2 instances it wouldn’t feel off.

I think what you’re getting at involves more data that was scraped illegally. Like if Anthropic gave free Claude access to writers since it just lost a lawsuit related to copyrighted books, that would be kind of a slap in the face. But OSS software is not published with an expectation of payment.

The famous case of the cops arresting the nurse for not performing a blood draw without a warrant after a car accident is much the same:

The other driver in the car accident was a drunk off-duty cop who blew a red light and hit the patient (who later died).

Cops simultaneously scrambled to the hospital to get a blood draw there, while also delaying the draw on their buddy for hours.

Cop who performed the arrest was fired. And later sued the department for unfair dismissal, IIRC.

I agree some skepticism is warranted. However I think we need to avoid essentialist thinking about what effects AI usage will have on a person.

> that's definitely not the normal usage

The way I look at it, AI use -- proper AI use -- is something that needs to be taught / learned. It's not unlike other "computer literacy" skills. There are ways of using it more or less effectively to achieve your goals.

Yep, I had the same reaction. It was like. "Huh? What? Actual acknowledgement of contributions? Cannot compute." They even made the requirements just low enough for me to qualify. We'll see if I actually get the deal though but this could be the most generous thing that ever happened to me in the open source sphere. I have a tendency to fall through every possible crack so this is an actual shock to me.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely see the cynical side that Claude may potentially benefit from learning my high quality coding practices as a result of this... This is clearly also a way to source high quality training data. Maintainers of open source projects with 5K+ stars are among the most competent engineers you can find and they're not biased towards unnecessary complexity as most corporate folks are.

But still, I think this is nice in either case. These days, I appreciate people using even cold calculated logic as a motivation for doing the right thing. I'm tired of people being irrational and doing the wrong thing because the wrong thing sounds more marketable to investors.

Or you can write code which can directly run on x86, i.e. FreeRTOS does support that without issues. For peripherals drivers you will need to burn it on chip regardless because emulator rarely can emulate peripherals in some reasonable way.

So if you correctly abstract business logic from peripheral code, you can do most of your development without ever uploading to target.
