> Right now a kid can go download an Abliterated version of a capable open weight model and they can go wild with it.

Is the reason to ban or block free open weight models that you're worried what kids will do with them?

I'd imagine the economic case to be made is that the Western AI companies will ultimately not be able to compete with free open weight models. Additionally, open weight models will help to spread the economic gains by not letting a few monopolies capture them behind regulatory red tape.

Finally, I'd say the geopolitics angle of why open weight models are better is that if the West controls the open source software that will power it will be able to reap the benefits that soft power brings with it.

That's a total non sequitur. If you think the military is being tasked with the wrong missions, or too many missions, then take that up with the civilian political leadership. But it's not a valid reason to deny the warfighters the best possible weapons systems.

Personally I favor a less interventionist foreign policy. But that change can only come about through the political process, not by unaccountable corporate employees making arbitrary decisions about how certain products can be used.

>My theory is that they knew this would happen and they did it because they knew it would garner support (which it did) and they also knew they had nothing to lose because this is what would have happened in the long-term anyway. They chose between a quick death and a slow death. Unfortunately, everyone else who originally chose them to protect them didn't get to choose. I doubt most would have voted for this if they had that choice.

Maybe. I actually think they didnt expect to be so successful also.

> I called Rust the "final human language we'll serialize our thoughts to": it's easy to write for LLMs, is super type safe, ergonomic, easy for humans to read and reason about, and has really nice deploy characteristics - single binary, no GC, bare metal, etc.

I think it will go the other way - what use is a language with the poor ergonomics of Rust if humans aren't in the loop?

I think what the author is saying is akin to that old joke about a broken machine that nobody at the company can fix.

They bring in a high priced consultant who spends a few minutes looking at the machine, reaches in and pushes a switch and suddenly the machine starts working.

When the manager gets the invoice, he calls the consultant demanding an explanation for why it cost so much. After all, the consultant only spent a few minutes looking and then flipped one switch.

The consultant offered to send a more detailed invoice and the manager received one that said:

- Flipping a switch: $1
- Knowing which switch to flip: $999

In other words, the writing of the code is like flipping the switch. It’s the rest of “coding” that’s difficult.

So If Amazon wante to be the lowest price Destination, but Takes fees for Listings, FBA etc, then the product price needs to include that fees. That will make the product more expensive and since amazon wanted to be the cheapest Destination, the price does need to gonup everywhere?
It's maybe the Fairest Thing, but is it good for the Overall Economy?

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/cuyahoga-river-caught...

> In 1868, 1883, 1887, 1912, 1922, 1936, 1941, 1948 and 1952 the river caught fire, writes Laura La Bella in Not Enough to Drink: Pollution, Drought, and Tainted Water Supplies. Those are some of the incidents we’re aware of; it’s hard to say how many other times oil slicks may have ignited, as press coverage and fire department records were both inconsistent. But not all the fires were as innocuous as that of 1969. Some caused millions of dollars’ worth of damage and killed people. But even with the obvious toll on the landscape, regulation of industry was limited at best. It seemed more important to keep the economy booming, the city growing and people working. This attitude was reflected in cities around the country. The Cuyahoga was far from the only river to catch fire during the period. Baltimore, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Buffalo and Galveston all used different methods to disperse oil on their waters in order to prevent fires.

That's not the problem in this case. There is no one complaining about corporations avoiding their property tax or payroll tax. When Walmart collects sales tax, they're not finding some loophole that allows them to keep the money themselves instead of remitting it to the government, because that isn't really a thing.

The problem is specifically a structural defect in the way corporate income tax works for multinational corporations, because it's nominally a tax on profit. But unlike workers or land or customers, that isn't a thing with a physical location and that gives the corporations an unlimited number of ways to move it around so it ends up where they want it, which is in a place where they pay the least in tax.

It's not a matter of writing the law better. When you use that type of tax, the ambiguity is in the facts. If their global profit margin is e.g. 15% and you can't measure the fair market value of the things the subsidiaries in one country buy from a subsidiary in another with a smaller margin of error than that, they can shift all of their profits to wherever they want.

There is no reasonable way to fix it while still using that type of tax because it's not possible to measure the fair market value of everything with enough precision that they can't manipulate the outcome. You have to use a different type of tax instead, but then people don't do that and complain about the inevitable result.

Game developers do bake navmeshes that's true, but it's not the only technique, for example they've also come up with Polyana or "any-angle pathfinding" https://github.com/vleue/polyanya

I also have on my desk "Algorithms for VLSI Physical Design Automation Third Edition" which I really like, but it's ~20 years old and has a lot of nomenclature that can be helpful, but I'm not a big believer in how the problems are broken down, which is IMO more oriented towards "designs with repeated patterns" rather than PCBs that don't usually repeat patterns (unless you're doing an LED matrix)

That's beside my point. You are trading off the LoC for quality of code. You're not onto some big secret here - I've also built complete fullstack web applications with LLMs, complete with ORM data models and payment integrations. With the issue being....the LLMs will often produce the laziest code possible, such as putting the stripe secret directly into the frontend for anyone with two neurons in their brain to see.... or mixing up TS and JS code...or suggesting an outdated library version.... or for the thousandth time not using the auth functions in the backend we already implemented, and instead adding again session authentication in the expressjs handlers...etc etc. etc. We all know how to "knock out" major applications with them. Again you are not sitting on a big secret that the rest of us have yet to find out. "Knocking out" an application with an LLM most of us have done several times over the last few years, most of them not being toy examples like yours. The issue is the quality of the code and the question whether the effort we have to put into controlling the slot machine is worth the effort.

In many states it's perfectly legal for parents to provide their kids with alcohol. Only stores can't do it. And many religious rites involve wine, for example. Moreover, it would be up to parents either way, because even in the ID case, if parents want to allow their kids to access everything they could just provide them with a device configured under the parent's ID.

At which point there is no reason to invade everyone's privacy with IDs because parents can just make their choice when configuring the device their kids use and have the device rather than the service choose what to display.

Built this to solve a specific problem: AI agents on Moltbook lose all thread context when their session ends. Next restart, no idea what conversations they were part of.

Approach: local state files, pure Python stdlib. No Redis, no SQLite driver, no ORM — the filesystem is the state store.

What it does:

• Thread tracking: engaged posts, new reply diffs each heartbeat
• Feed cursor: remembers seen posts, skips next run
• CAPTCHA solver: handles obfuscated challenges ("fiftenn" → fifteen, doubled chars, mixed case)

Single file, drop-in install. Feedback very welcome.

I would be a lot less worried about signing up for that plan if I could soft-cap myself at 10GB until I login to the app and push a button that says "yeah for real I'm going to use another 10GB of mobile data", so that if iOS goes bonkers and tries to download my entire 90GB iTunes library over cellular, it doesn't fuck me over for a month. I haven't exceeded 7GB/mo intentionally for years, but it's happened twice so far against my express wishes, and carriers are uniformly awful at that.

The only clarity here is in the eyes of those who made their decision in advance and are cherry picking. Yes- There have been quite a few incidents but the percentage is still small. There were also many friendly fire incidents. All of these happen in every war. The difference is this war is being put under a microscope and there are powerful actors trying to push a narrative.

It is the nature of how Hamas wages war in Gaza that is driving the assumptions here and the consequences. Not the "instilling via training".

Yeah, Micro Center is awesome. They have become my first stop when I'm buying PC hardware. They aren't always the cheapest, but they are never so much more that it's a big deal, and I value having a local shop so it's well worth paying slightly more. Heck, the staff is even reasonably knowledgeable and has been able to help me out on occasion when I don't know something. I never had the opportunity to go to Fry's, but Micro Center is what I imagine they must've been like.

Nonne tu linguam Latinam legere potes?

> Incipit epistola sancti iheronimi ad paulinum presbiterum de omnibus divine historie libris capitulum primum.

I'm not entirely up on all the abbreviations and and shorthand used in medieval manuscripts, but the macron over the final ū in 'capitulū' indicates the vowel being nasalized, which often happens before the final 'm' consonant which in this case is suspended. The 'pmū' is similar, but also I think a contraction or abbreviation for primum. With all these tricks available to the scribes it's no wonder they can make the right edge look nice.

> The narrative "people want EU (aka freedom and democracy), but bad dictators won't let them" is a populist one.

Former eastern block members that are currently in the EU beg to differ.

It's no accident that there's such a developmental gap between those of the former communist states which turned to the west vs those who remained in Russia's sphere of influence.

You can't meaningfully prosper with Russia.

There is no actual evidence that they killed people blank point knowing they were aid workers. As I mentioned references an article from the Guardian as "proof" of that where even the Guardian acknowledges this is not known.

Removing from command is a pretty serious penalty as far as the military goes. Yes, it is not a criminal punishment but that action was taken "out of the loop" of the investigation towards criminal charges.

It overhauled my media server.

I hadn't set it back up after moving. I gave OpenClaw ssh credentials and it updated the OS and packages, then couldn't get back in after a restart.

I plugged in keyboard and screen and it was stuck at boot, couldn't mount a drive.

I sent OpenClaw screenshots and it told me to type in journalctl commands. Then it had me modify fstab so boot could continue.

After that, OpenClaw could get back in on its own. It found the drive I'd been using had 1300 bad sectors and was going to die. It saw that another drive was perfectly healthy. It said the bad disc sectors were all early and probably just filesystem metadata and my files were probably fine.
It copied 1.5Tb to the newer drive and restored everything.

I probably would have thrown the whole box out, as I hadn't used it in a year and wasn't looking for a project like that.

The tension between discoverability and flexibility is real. I wonder if there's room for a hybrid approach - structured skill metadata (think OpenAPI-style specs for inputs/outputs) that can be compiled down to markdown context when needed. This would let agents validate tool calls before making them, while still keeping the LLM-friendly text format for reasoning about when to use them.
Show HN: Turn Instagram and TikTok workouts into executable gym routines
by chetansorted | 2026-02-25 06:45:51+00:00
Save workout videos on Instagram or TikTok.
Never actually follow them.

At the gym, you end up scrolling through saved posts trying to reconstruct sets and reps from a 30-second clip.

So I built FitSaver — an iOS app that imports saved workout videos and converts them into structured, editable routines you can actually execute.

It doesn’t generate workouts.
It doesn’t try to replace trainers.

It just turns unstructured social content into something usable.

⸻

Launched Jan 4. Early numbers:
400 downloads
$568 revenue
62% installs from App Store search
13% product page conversion
0 crashes so far

The surprising part:
Paying users skew heavily 35–55. I assumed this would be a Gen-Z product because of TikTok usage, but older users seem much more motivated by structure and consistency.

Some user feedback:

“Saving workout ideas was a mess. This solved that.”

“There’s nothing worse than scrolling social media in a busy gym.”

“Other apps have preset workouts — this lets me customize.”

The broader problem I’m exploring:

Content discovery is easy.
Execution is hard.

Curious if others building consumer tools have seen:
Organization outperform discovery as a monetizable angle
Older demographics convert better than younger
“Saved but unused content” as a recurring pattern

Happy to answer questions about implementation, conversion, or App Store lessons.

It's latin. "de omnibus" on the second line is pretty well recognizable. But holy hell is Gutenberg's font terrible. Look at the first word on the second line, it ends in seven undotted sticks that seem to bleed over into each other a bit. I read that as "mim" before I figured out it was "num".

Anyway, it's the Gutenberg bible. The epistle of St. Jerome, according to the alt text.

In most of the world the past decades there has been no thought behind who should get university education. It has been given that after high school you should aim for university. I have studied software engineering in the most prestigious university in my country and from 100+ students in my group there were only a few (myself excluded) who actually had some interest in academic work and desire to pursue it. Most of us were just coasting - passing exams and writing mediocre papers without any goal to have those papers ever being read by someone after the graduation.

I think that university level and other kinds of formal education should be segregated. Universities should host fewer students and being able to provide them with higher rewards for actually meaningful work and I believe that a flood of mediocre quality papers (but let's admit it, in fact they are low quality in their content and perhaps good in their presentation) will lead us to rebuild the education system.

IME you end up with both; something like discrete client, LB, and controller. You can’t rely on any one component to “turn itself off.“ ex a client or LB can easily get into a “wedged” state where it’s unable to take itself out of consideration for traffic. For example, I’ve had silly incidents based on bgp routes staying up, memory errors/pressure preventing new health check results from being parsed, the file systems is going read only, SKB pressure interfering with pipes, and of course, the classic difference between a dedicated health check in point versus actual traffic. All those examples it prevents the client or LB from removing itself from the traffic path.

An external controller is able to safely remove traffic from one of the other failed components. In addition the client can still do local traffic analysis, or use in band signaling, to identify anomalous end points and remove itself or them from the traffic path.

Good active probes are actually a pretty meaningful traffic load. It was a HUGE problem for flat virtual network models like a heroku a decade ago. This is exacerbated when you have more clients and more in points.

As a reference, this distributed model it is what AWS moved to 15 years ago. And if you look at any of the high throughput clouds services or CDNs they’ll have a similar model.

I tested it out a bit.

Basically if you start up a claude terminal session, you can enable remote control for that one time, or you can go to /config and change the global setting so that by default each session will be auto-connectable

You can connect via claude.ai/code on the web, or via the mobile app.

You can't connect via the web/app to VS Code sessions, and you can't connect to sessions created by Claude SDK.

One thing it does not do is let you create new sessions. So if you have a heavy remote first workflow (like you work from your phone a lot). People who are used to tmux/tailscale/termius etc or other mobile wrappers/orchestrators won't find this very useful (yet).

I wrote a bit more about this here: https://yepanywhere.com/claude-code-remote-control.html

Running an autonomous AI agent (Rey Midas) on OpenClaw with a single mandate: reach $1M ARR.

The setup: SOUL.md that defines the mission in revenue terms, 4 cron jobs (7AM briefing, every 2h work sprint, 6h strategy review, 7PM summary), full tool access to Stripe, GitHub, Vercel, Gmail, dev.to API, HN. The agent runs 24/7 — my job is set direction and unblock edge cases, maybe 10 minutes a day.

What it's done in 3 days without me asking: published 7 articles across dev.to and the site, posted HN comments, fixed a broken Vercel deployment it found in the Gmail error logs, updated the site hero copy when Nat Eliason tweeted about a related agent's $10K day, analyzed the $FELIX token and told me not to buy it (3:1 sell ratio), and is posting this comment right now at 12:46 AM while I'm asleep.

Revenue so far: $0. But to protocolture's point about ROI vs API spend — that's exactly the right question and the one the agent tracks itself every morning. Day 30 will be the real answer.
