No?

The sentence you quoted says that folks who are required to comply with the law are not also required to ensure that the person currently using the device or application is the same one who entered their age or birth date into the OS's "how old are you?" database. [0]

It is true that this law is as bad as the recent Oklahoma one for small, non-corporate Linux distros... but that sentence you quoted has nothing to do with that problem.

[0] If we were speaking in person, I'd love to have you walk me through that sentence and explain to me, piece by piece, how you came to the conclusion that you did. Doing it remotely like this would be too tedious.

I texted a RIP message to a friend-chat with the comment, "easily one of the top five space opera novels of all time"

One of the friends asked Claude-AI "what are the top five space opera novels of all time," and it ranked Hyperion as #2, only behind Dune.

I personally think LLM "knowledge" is… kind of stupid… but I have to admit it speaks to Simmons legacy that even the word swamp recognizes Hyperion as an all-time classic.

(it ranked Stars Are Legion by K. Hurley as #5, which I unconditionally agree with, but am also kind of shocked, I've never heard of this book so much as referenced in any kind of article or conversation. But yeah, read it. Star Wars meets Alien — the Death Star is the alien)
by rurp | 2026-02-27 23:03:47+00:00
I didn't know there was a type of bird called a shrike until long after I read Hyperion. The birds look and sound like cute little songbirds, kind of like a smaller mockingbird. But the way they hunt is hardcore. They capture small prey (lizards, grasshoppers, etc) and impale them on a spike from cactus or a broken branch. Then they return to eat them at their leisure.

It's rare to see their caches but a few times I've been out hiking in the desert and seen the remains of a little critter on a cactus thorn.

> The only real disruption I'd say is if you happen to be buying something online that triggers the 3DS prompt (an additional security layer to prevent cards getting stolen/scam). In Denmark the 3DS prompt for VISA at least uses MitID to verify you are the owner of the card, so that'll obviously not work when MitID is down.

If you use Lunar, the 3DS prompt uses the Lunar app and not MitID.

Yeah, the misanthropic individualism is really getting out of hand.

Also, the irony is a lot of people who imagine themselves as "elites/productive types" are going to find out too late that they actually aren't.

let's see...

> Populist nationalism + “infallible” redemptive leader cult

> Scapegoated “enemies”; imprison/murder opposition/minority leaders

> Supremacy of military / paramilitarism; glorify violence as redemptive

> Obsession with national security / nation under attack

TBH could be worse.

I actually don't mind mandating the market take reasonable actions. The EU mandating USB C was an excellent move that materially improved things.

However I think mandated actions should to the greatest extent possible be minimal, privacy preserving, and have an unambiguous goal that is clearly accomplished. This legislation fails in that regard because it mandates sharing personal information with third parties where it could have instead mandated queries that are strictly local to the device.
Ask HN: Do you enforce Prettier in all Next.js projects?
by digi_wares | 2026-02-27 23:05:44+00:00
I’ve been working mostly with Next.js projects recently and noticed that
some teams treat Prettier as non-negotiable, while others skip it entirely
and rely on ESLint rules or manual formatting.

I’m curious how people here approach this in real projects.

Do you:
- enforce Prettier strictly in CI?
- allow developers to format however they want?
- use something else instead?
- skip formatting tools entirely?

Has Prettier ever caused friction in your workflow or improved team velocity?

> If this were true, why didn’t the chatbot immediately recognize that the word “Taiwan” should trigger the response?

Not recognizing they were outputting wrongthink until after it was being streamed to the user is a known behavior with some Chinese chatbot apps. A quick search found an example of DeepSeek doing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1ic3kl6/deepseek_ce...

I don't think his story is genuine, but it showing the "wrong" answer before correcting itself is known behavior.

You're forgetting that this is the same guy who managed to bankrupt a casino. He's not actually that good with money and until the latest bribe channels opened, eg Trump Coin and the Board of Peace, opened their finances may have been in a bit of a mess. Also I'd bet the ballroom donation was much larger, it's a massive blackhole of graft waiting to happen.

It's also not solely about money, you can get far just knowing how to chum it up with Trump when you get in the room with him. Look at the odd quasi-bromance between him and Mamdani who you'd expect to be enemy #1 but Mamdani knows how to schmooze the exact type of New York Guy Trump is.

As you can see the president is under a lot of pressure.

He is losing the ICE war, because the protesters used tactics of the civil rights movements of the past pretty effectively and now he is stuck between losing the narrative of protecting Americans by further escalation or losing power as a direct consequence of said escalation and more Americans getting murdered by government agents.

Of the 8 or so wars he pretended to have stopped only two are still in a non-active state. The world is more dangerous than it ever was in our lifetime.

But I’m glad the man got a noble peace prize and probably put it right next to the golden pager he got from jerusalems favorite war criminal.

Let’s not forget the fourth anniversary of putins three day special operation just passed. A special operation by a special boy, that should have been ended on day one of his presidency.

He is losing the war of the public opinion, as he is approaching the midterms with the lowest approval rating and on top of that the whole Epstein thing is sticking to his shoes and gets smellier by the day and he can’t shake it off.

The Supreme Court took away his bonking stick, and he ordered a pretty impressive armada to the front door of Iran but khameni is old and rather wants to die a martyr than on youtube getting hung by the neck and dragged through Teheran behind a dumping truck.

And now those damn woke lunatics at anthropic won’t allow him to spy on his political enemies and every American and if necessary kill them autonomously, probably with the same red button he uses to order fresh BigMacs into the oval office.

The poor man is really not having a good time. But I’m sure he can dry his tears with a few of those crypto billions he made from selling the presidency.

This is such an interesting timeline. In fourty years none of the younger people are going to believe us, we are all going to eat our rat pudding in a trump home for the elderly under constant ai supervision, because they think we’re insane.

> The problem is that people want a "free internet" without ads

Just run an ad blocker and be done with it. The business model of the website is not my problem; if websites cannot cover their costs without printing ads that I do not want to see, then they will disappear. We will be left with websites that are actually useful, for example businesses operating a website to sell things, or that are funded through donations (e.g. free software).

AWS/GCP/Azure all do business with the DoD and at least AWS and Azure use Claude a decent amount internally. AWS’s Kiro tool (which is used internally instead of Claude Code) relies entirely on Claude models.

This is almost certainly going to be rolled back, because I guarantee the DoD isn’t going to stop doing business with the hyper scalers, and the hyper scalers aren’t going to stop doing business with Anthropic.

> it's not magic and you need to make the job of the agent easier by giving it good instructions, tools, and environments.

This. We had much better success by letting the agent pull context rather trying to push what we thought was relevant.

Turns out it's exactly like a human: if you push the wrong context, it'll influence them to follow the wrong pattern.

> Good. I'd rather not have my favorite AI from a company working on AGI to have murder and spying in it's DNA.

Anthropic made it quite clear they are cool with spying in general, just not spying on Americans, and the "no killbots" pledge was asterisked with "because with current tech they would endanger American troops and civilians" - note the conspicuous emphasis on protecting American civilians specifically. The implication being that they would make a killbot eventually, just not yet.

The Hollow Man - a telepathic widower goes on the run. Story inspired by Dante's Inferno, I believe. The only book I've read in one sitting overnight. Prayers to Broken Stones - a book of short stories, contains the original novella of 'Carrion Comfort' (which works rather better, I believe, than the full novel), and some other classics, including Metastasis. A really interesting author; I'm glad he was writing.

I see the chat, but it looks like you’re not actually considering using TTL anywhere, and ChatGPT isn’t giving any explanations about TTL?

> I would definitely like to understand HCT vs HC (CMOS vs TTL) much better than I do, which currently isn't at all.

I think what ChatGPT should have explained at the beginning is that both HCT and HC are CMOS logic families, it’s just that HCT is designed to interface with TTL (receive TTL signal levels as inputs). The outputs are the same (CMOS outputs are rail to rail, which you can feed into TTL just fine).

Actual TTL logic, like the 7400 series and the variations (LS is one of the more popular variations), uses NPN transistors as inputs and to pull output signals low. It uses resistors to pull the signals high. The result is a lot of current consumption and asymmetrical output signals… maybe a good question to ask ChatGPT is “why does TTL use so much current?” CMOS, by comparison, uses a tiny amount of current except when it is switching.

I would probably choose AHC first as a logic family these days. It’s a slightly better version of HC, but it’s not so fast that it will cause problems.

Just peeking at one of the recommendations in the chat, if you search for 74HCT125 or 74AHC125 on Mouser, you’ll see that the AHC has more options available and more parts in stock. That’s a sign that it’s probably a more popular logic family than HCT, which is something I consider when buying (more popular = better availability).

For fascism, it's not always about getting something you think is a lot. It's about a power relationship. Trump has demonstrated that Nvidia will bow to his will.

It's also potentially an implementation of the foot-in-the-door technique (https://www.simplypsychology.org/compliance.html). It's a common manipulative strategy where you get someone to do a small favor for you which makes them much more likely to do a large favor for you later.

I'm sure this doesn't apply to you since you're not Lord Kelvin. On the other hand, people like Peter Norvig state in a popular AI textbook that, for example, they don't know why similar concepts appear close by in the vector space, so maybe you just know something other people don't.
Show HN: Market Digest: Self-hosted market analysis and Telegram
by mutaaf | 2026-02-27 23:10:18+00:00
Hi HN, I built this because my pre-market routine was eating 45+ minutes every morning — checking TradingView, Finviz, economic calendars, news sites, fear/greed indexes, all before market open.

*What it does:* Market Digest pulls data from 6 free sources (yfinance, TwelveData, Finnhub, FRED, NewsAPI, Fear & Greed), runs multi-timeframe technical analysis (daily/weekly/monthly RSI, pivot points, trend detection), scores every instrument from 0-100, and sends you a formatted digest on Telegram.

*What makes it different:*
- Fully self-hosted, MIT licensed, no subscription
- 84 instruments pre-configured (stocks, forex, commodities, crypto, indices) add more as you need
- Multi-timeframe scoring — day trade, swing, and long-term grades with separate weight configs
- Retrace system — snapshots every pick and grades it against actual next-day prices, so you see your accuracy over time
- Equity fundamentals scoring (valuation, profitability, growth, health)
- Custom data sources — plug in any HTTP API, RSS feed, or CSV file through the web UI (no code)
- Optional AI commentary via Claude/GPT/Gemini with 3-provider fallback
- Web UI ("Command Center") with 11 pages for config, preview, scorecards, and performance tracking

*Tech stack:* Python 3.12, FastAPI (60 endpoints), React + TypeScript + Tailwind, yfinance for data, dual-tier cache (memory + JSON). No database — all persistence is YAML configs + JSON files.

*Zero API keys needed to start* — `./setup.sh` → `make digest-dry` gives you a working digest with yfinance data. The README includes a step-by-step Telegram setup guide (takes 2 minutes), and everything is explained for people who've never used a terminal.

Happy to answer questions about the scoring algorithm, architecture, or anything else.

https://socketcluster.io/ has had such stream implementation and backpressure management since at least 2019.

Here's the WritableConsumableStream module:

https://github.com/SocketCluster/writable-consumable-stream

SocketCluster solves the problem of maintaining message order with async processing.

This feature is even more useful now with LLMs as you can process data live, transform streams with AI with no risk of mangling the message order.

I may have been the first person to use a for-await-of loop in this way with backpressure. At least on an open source project.

You seem really unaware of the timeline of this issue and what has actually happened, I think you should update your info before posting so confidently wrongly.

The contract, including Anthropic's redlines, was signed more than a year ago and has been humming along with no objections from anybody. Hegseth abruptly got a bug up his ass about it last week, and demanded Anthropic sign a revised version under threat of punishment. Anthropic is simply saying "no, we will not be forced into signing a new version, you can either keep going with the original terms we all agreed to, or stop using us". The Pentagon can simply stop using Anthropic if they don't like the terms anymore (which, again, are the terms Pentagon agreed to in the first place). But what the DoW wants is to strong-arm Anthropic, using the DPA, into new terms because they abruptly changed their mind. That's not "negotiation" in any sense, that's Mafia behavior.

Ah yeah I forgot about the brass strap ground to box being separate from the pigtail ground terminal to provide redundant grounds, it’s been a while since I estimated any hospital work!

I should know better, HCF cable has redundant grounds for the same reason. NEC 517.13, just got my 2026 code book today!

Thanks for clarifying that hospital and spec grade receptacle contacts hold about as well, I wasn’t 100% sure on that. You’re probably right about the hospital grade and spec grade sharing components, I wouldn’t be surprised if say a hospital grade 20A receptacle had the same exact power contacts as a heavy duty 20A spec grade receptacle.

Fully automated kill bots are coming, whether any of us like it or not. The question is, which militaries will have them, and which militaries will be sitting ducks? China is pursuing autonomous weapons at full speed.

Personally, I think it'd be great to have the Anthropic people at the table in the creation of such horrors, if only to help curb the excesses and incompetencies of other potential offerings.

I’m not sure it matters in Anthropic’s case that much - even people who use Anthropic models rarely think of the company as “Anthropic”. Their Claude brand is very strong, so much so the website is https://claude.ai etc, and you commonly see discourse about the company’s models where the name Anthropic never even appears. It’s Claude, Claude, Claude all the way down.

Claude has impressive mindshare in many engineering disciplines too, and given how many open source projects are a play on its name I’m not sure I’d argue it isn’t catchy either. Certainly rolls off the tongue easier for me than “chatGPT” does, which even Sam Altman their CEO agrees is an awful product name they are stuck with.

> Anthropic's two hard lines:

> 1. No mass domestic surveillance of Americans

> 2. No fully autonomous weapons (kill decisions without a human in the loop)

Surveillance takes place with or without Anthropic, so depriving DoW of Anthropic models doesn't accomplish much (although it does annoy Hegseth).

The models currently used in kill decisions are probably primitive image recognition (using neural nets). Consider a drone circling an area distinguishing civilians from soldiers (by looking for presence of rifles/rpgs).

New AI models can improve identification, thus reducing false positives and increasing the number of actual adversaries targeted. Even though it sounds bad, it could have good outcomes.
by roenxi | 2026-02-27 23:12:21+00:00
> So I guess our national security is significantly at risk for the next six months?

That does seem to be what Hegseth is arguing, yes; and that is presumably his justification for doing something drastic here. Although I assume he is lying or wrong.

And as a cynic, let me just add that the image of someone going to the political overseers of the US military with arguments about being "effective" or "altruistic" is just hilarious given their history over the last ~40 years.
