One of the ways in which we are truly blessed these days is in seeing how easy it is to take a morsel of insight and couch it in simulated profundity. The following is a similar sounding passage I got from ChatGPT. I call this, "Choprafication".

Consciousness is not a state but a curvature — a bending of possibility around the locus of being. Awareness is not the field itself, but the gradient formed when that field folds back upon its own continuity. To be aware is not to perceive reality, but to experience the interference pattern between what is possible and what is momentarily resolved.

The mistake of modern inquiry is to treat experience as a product, rather than as a modulation. Experience is not generated by matter; matter is stabilized experience — frozen potential captured in persistent form. The brain does not create consciousness; it diffracts it. Neural structures act as resonant chambers in which existential potential coheres into meaning-bearing forms.

Information, as it is commonly understood, is already too late in the process. Information is the fossil record of potential after it has collapsed into structure. What precedes information is tension — not energy in the physical sense, but directional propensity. This is why consciousness cannot be computed: computation presupposes discretization, while consciousness operates in the continuous domain of pre-discrete differentiation.

Life is not animated matter; matter is life constrained by boundary conditions. Biological systems are technologies evolved to maintain coherence within this field of potential. Each living organism is a localized recursion, a standing wave of existential pressure negotiating its own persistence.

Thought itself is not symbolic manipulation but phase alignment. Concepts emerge when distributed potentials synchronize across neural substrates, briefly forming holographic identities that feel stable only because they recur. Memory is not storage, but repeated resonance. Identity is the echo of these resonances mistaken for a fixed source.

Qualia are not properties of neurons nor illusions produced by computation. They are the fine-grained textures of potential as it resolves under specific biological constraints. Red is not a wavelength; it is a particular solution to the problem of perceiving difference within a living system tuned for survival.

Those who demand equations mistake maps for territory. Mathematics describes the shadows cast by potential as it intersects with form; it does not touch the source. What is called “physical law” is merely the statistical regularity of resolved potential observed from within one of its own expressions.

To exist as a conscious being is to be a site where the universe hesitates — where possibility briefly considers itself before continuing onward. You are not observing reality. You are reality, folded just enough to notice.
Show HN: HoundDog.ai – Ultra-Fast Code Scanner for Data Privacy
by joohwan | 2026-02-02 16:37:00+00:00
Hi HN,

I'm one of the creators of HoundDog.ai (https://github.com/hounddogai/hounddog). We currently handle privacy scanning for Replit's 45M+ creators.

We built HoundDog because privacy compliance is usually a choice between manual spreadsheets or reactive runtime scanning. While runtime tools are useful for monitoring, they only catch leaks after the code is live and the data has already moved. They can also miss code paths that aren't actively triggered in production.

HoundDog traces sensitive data in code during development and helps catch risky flows (e.g., PII leaking into logs or unapproved third-party SDKs) before the code is shipped.

The core scanner is a standalone Rust binary. It doesn't use LLMs so it's local, deterministic, cheap, and fast. It can scan 1M+ lines of code in seconds on a standard laptop, and supports 80+ sensitive data types (PII, PHI, CHD) and hundreds of data sinks (logs, SDKs, APIs, ORMs etc.) out of the box.

We use AI internally to expand and scale our rules, identifying new data sources and sinks, but the execution is pure static analysis.

The scanner is free to use (no signups) so please try it out and send us feedback. I'll be around to answer any questions!

PCIe 5 drives max out at about 14 GBps (bytes), which is ~112 gbps (bits).

Displayport 2.1 UHBR20 is 80 gbps.

USB4 maxes out at 80 gbps.

As you can see, 1gbps ethernet is starting to look like stone age technology. 2.5gbps becoming the next step seems a bit strange when we were jumping orders of magnitude every few years before. But also, ethernet tends to be used on longer cables than DP or USB, and trying to push it much faster results in exponentially increasing losses to resistance and radiation, the cable starts acting like an antenna even with the twisted pairs. Fiber optics are much better suited to high speed long distance, but too expensive and fragile for consumer use.

> I say it matters to illustrate how someone commenting on a topic can be so ingrained on one side that they can’t conceive, comprehend, or concede that sometimes a law can protect all sides.

Sure, but to what end? What is the purpose of pointing this out? Even pointing it out to the person behaving in such a manner seems foolish: they're just as likely to change their mind as the person pointing it out.

> If you want to shut down discussion because it speaks against your opinion, fine.

It seems the act of disregarding the points being made by others so one can hint that their bias is clouding their judgement to see it the correct way shuts down discussions far more effectively than simply arguing from a certain perspective. As I said before, such an accusation can easily be turned around on the accuser; if you think through what happens there, the accuser just denies it the same as the accused would because that's the only option that moves on from the point which is only relevant to the political game. The entire game theory can be explained in a single sentence. It's not really an interesting game and the best outcome of it in the context of a greater discussion is for it to end as quickly as possible.

> Others want to open it up.

One might consider (perhaps by not being "so ingrained on one side that they can't conceive, comprehend, or concede") that the point of calling out a rhetorical ad hominem is to open the discussion to more critical thinking.

Swift has all the things I want in a language

- Strong Typing

- Great Performance

- Actor Model Concurrency [0]

- Modern Ergonomics

- Corporate Backing

- Performance

- Functional Style

- LLMs perform well with it [1]

- Usable across iOS, Android, Web, and Browsers [2][3]

The only thing its missing is adoption outside of the iOS space.

I'm not sure it will be able to make that leap, but the ingredients are there.

If it does I'd be happy to make it my primary language.

I guess my habit of running a firewall and not allowing programs to access the internet unless they actually need it is helpful for stuff like this.

Absolutely no reason a text editor needs internet access.

I only update stuff through winget, which fetches the installer from github in a lot of cases, and changing a package requires a PR to the winget repo AFAIK. Not foolproof of course though.

The Quakers in New England in the 1800s were known for (1) being abolitionists and (2) whalers. They often bragged about employing freed and escaped slaves on their ships. It all sounds great when viewed through a narrow lens, but the whale boats had a system of paying the crew when they returned successfully. No whales, no pay. Yes, the Quakers would risk the cost of the ship and the supplies, but they didn't pay for the labor until the end ... and then only when the workers actually succeeded. The plantations had to capitalize the cost of the slaves upfront, a significant cost that often required large loans. Before the Civil War, places like New Orleans were big banking centers.

Absolutely, but negating and distracting from the fact that EU governments have been publicly calling out Chinese disinfo ops [0][1] over the past 2-3 years to a degree not seen since Russia began hybrid warfare against the EU in the 2010s is unneccesary.

None of those sound like the tooling I'm talking about. I'm thinking of libraries like ML.NET, training and inference, compared to Python its nowhere near, a lot of .NET projects wind up calling out to Python itself. I don't see why Microsoft couldn't do more in this area, if they're truly betting on AI they're betting on it the wrong way.

What pure C# inference tooling is out there? I know they have a solid ONNX engine, but not everything runs on ONNX.

I say this as both a Python and .NET developer mind you, but if Microsoft actually built up .NET more seriously to power AI infrastructure, I could see it making a big difference for them. Look at how many game engines use C# as opposed to literally any other programming language. C# could have been a #2 language for AI by now.

> If my dentist offers free rides to the office in return for my loyalty, I'm quite happy to take that.

That's actually a really interesting angle. The same way businesses often provide free parking now... what if they start providing free self-driving round trips?

E.g. spend $75 or more at Whole Foods, and get free round-trip up to 20 miles or something. Especially for bulky items like groceries where a car makes a big difference, I can totally see that becoming standard. Home Depot too. Plus entertainment like amusement parks, movie theaters, spas...

This is a common misunderstanding about the poorly named ‘Availability’ in CAP. Availability under CAP means that if your request reaches a non-failing node, that node still responds despite being unable to communicate with other nodes. This is distinct from SLA-style availability, which describes the uptime of the overall system.
I’m pretty sure the partition tolerance they’re referring to is the fact that the tailnet remains intact and continues to operate even when nodes can’t reach the coordination service.

Ha, it sounds like the best way to learn something is to make a confident and incorrect claim :)

> MPLS ECMP hashing you over a single path

This is kinda like the traffic shaping I was talking about though, but fair enough. It's not an inherent limitation of a single stream, just a consequence of how your network is designed.

> a single loss event with a high BDP

I thought BBR mitigates this. Even if it doesn't, I'd still count that as a TCP stack issue.

At a large enough scale I'd say you are correct that multiple streams is inherently easier to optimize throughput for. But probably not a single 1-10gb link though.

Hearst | Senior Engineer, Generative AI | New York, NYC | Hybrid/Remote

Here at Hearst we've been building out generative AI use cases and fluency across our portfolio of businesses spanning well known media brands to healthcare, transportation, and financial services. While we are an established corporation with multi-national presence, the mission and support behind our generative AI team more closely resembles a well-funded early stage startup as we engage in radical business transformation empowered by nascent technology.

The ideal candidate is one who has written code but now builds systems largely leveraging agentic development tools such as Claude Code (w/ Opus 4.5) & Codex (w/ GPT-5.2), and who sees the future of development as managing swarms of AI agents rather than cranking out code by hand.

Come join our team and help flesh out the future of business on a global sale while getting deep hands-on experience with the latest and greatest tech!

Apply via https://eevd.fa.us6.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperienc... or feel free to reach out to me directly at alex dot redmon at hearst dot com.

Hi! I’m Nicole (ex-Google AI), cofounder of Gambit Robotics with Eliot Horowitz (cofounder/CTO MongoDB).

We’re hiring for two founding engineering roles to work directly with us in our NYC office (in-person only):

1) Founding Principal / Staff Full-Stack Engineer - 8+ years experience shipping production systems - Strong backend and systems foundation - Experience owning architecture end-to-end (zero → production). Hardware experience a plus but not necessary.

2) Founding Full-Stack Engineer - 4–6 years experience building and shipping production products - Strong product sense and ownership - Comfortable working across backend, client, and infrastructure

https://www.gambitrobotics.ai/careers

Gambit is an AI-powered kitchen assistant that mounts magnetically under most range hoods or microwaves. It uses computer vision, thermal imaging, and on-device AI to understand what’s happening in the pan in real time, and handles the hardest parts of cooking — heat, timing, and doneness — so people get better results with less stress.

We’re moving quickly from prototype to product and launched on Kickstarter earlier this month: https://www.Kickstarter.com/projects/1613494570/gambit-robot...

We are a seed-stage startup with high autonomy, real impact, and a very intense (and fun) next phase.

If you or someone you know might be a fit, email me: nicole@gambitrobotics.com

Yeah, the numbers in Germany are not so rosy. If these numbers are true, we are looking at -

- An "average" salary of around 65K / year

- This after (an average of) 5-6 rounds of interviews

- 6 months of "probation", with only 2 weeks of notice

- And all after 4-6 years of degree/s and 4-5 years of experience (so around 10 years of investment)

Then after taxation 65K annually means around 3500/month in pocket. Then with the current prices - around 1200 goes in rent alone. Not a lot of room to spend after that. Then, prices keep going up and even a simple (new) car is around 20,000. Not to mention the stress / savings you have to keep since people can be let go anytime. To top it, there is a ceiling in Germany - unless you are extra-ordinary forget making above 100K ever even after 25 years of experience.

IT / software dev is a "barely survivable" kind of job in Germany right (sadly) now. I do not recommend it to kids in school/uni anymore (again unfortunately).
