Putting "regime killing its own people" in quotes precludes you from any sort of moral judgement.

To quote Sahar Delijani: “Imagine what a dictator must do to its own people for them to greet missiles like salvation. Imagine the wound. Imagine the fury. Imagine the streets slick with blood.”"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they're aiming to serve the EU and UK (and Norway and Switzerland) markets only. Although, with that said, the page for the September 2026 phone says this (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-sept-26):

> LTE FDD: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28AB, 66

> LTE TDD: 34, 38, 39, 40, 41

> 5G NR: n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n26, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n77, n78

But I have no idea if that means it'll work for you in the US/elsewhere.

What does derivative mean here? Because IMO it means that the existing work was used as input. So if you used a LLM and it was trained on the existing work, that's a derivative work. If you rot13 encode something as input, so you can't personally read it, and then a device decides to rot13 on it again and output it, that's a derivative work.

I don't think fear or legal action makes it illegal.

If I know it is legal to make a turn at a red light. And I know a court will uphold that I was in the right but a police officer will fine me regardless and I would need to go to actually pursue some legal remedy I'm unlikely to do it regardless of whether it is legal because it is expensive, if not in money but time.

In the case of copyright lawsuits they are notoriously expensive and long so even if a court would eventually deem it fine, why take the chance.

Im curious as to the down votes on this. It's absolutely true, and when I was maintaining a job runner daemon that ran hundreds of thousands of who knows what Python tasks/jobs a day on some shared infra with arbitrary code for a certain megacorp from 2016-2020 or so, this was one of insidious and ugly failure modes to go debug and handle. The docs really make it sound like you can mix threading and multiprocessing but you can never really completely ensure that threading and then bare fork will ever be safe, period. It's really irritating that the docs would have you believe that this is OK or safe, but is in keeping with the Python philosophy of trying to hide the edge of the blade you're using until it's too late and you've cut the shit out of yourself.

There must be more to it. German automakers did belong to the top 10 (for some periods even top 5) R&D spenders world-wide. It seems they just did not spend it wisely. Similarly, the claim they "kept wages down" seems to require some nuance. VW workers are known to be very well paid.
From the outside it seems like these companies became large behemoths who were not able to spend their R&D money wisely and their outsized pay packages forcing them to offer their products at uncompetitive prices.

Yes, this can help a lot, but it definitely isn't perfect. Especially since CPython uses reference counting it is likely that many pages get modified relatively quickly as they are accessed. Many other GC strategies are also pretty hostile to CoW memory (for example mark bits, moving, ...) Additionally this doesn't help for lazy loaded data and caches in code and libraries.

Go does not use LLVM at all and never has. It uses its own compiler and its own (quirky) assembler. Of course, this does not matter to most people, but LLVM compilation can be both a blessing (good interop with C/FFI) and a curse (changes to LLVM internals causing issues for languages other than C/C++).

This is super cool! These are the Macbooks that the new Neo model reminds me of. Except now the author's machine is much more powerful and in a classic chassis :D

I liked the glowing Apple logo touch. Perhaps if author wants to enhance this part they could mask off the Apple shape so there's less light bleed. But looks cool as-is.

Private key material should not be kept in the clear anywhere, ideally.
This includes on your dev machine, serialised in a store, in the heap of your process, anywhere.
Of course, it depends on your threat environment, but the article did mention pci-dss.
If you put it in redis, then anyone that has access (internal baddies exist too!) can steal the key and sign something. Its hard to repudiate that.

Which to we ignore for coal? Cost to build a new plant? Cost to run? The decommissioning costs? (Yes we ignore the externalities, and no I don't think we should burn coal. My point is Nuclear has yet to pay its way anywhere in the world, without heavy heavy govt support - far exceeding that given to renewables)

Some figures on running costs:
Coal costs about £62 per MWh - (£31 for the coal and £31 for the CO2 premium we already charge the energy producers).

As a fossil fuel comparison, Gas costs about £114 per MWh.

Nuclear - Hinkley C will cost about £128 per MWh - but likely to be even higher when it comes online. And we will be on the hook for this price as long as it runs, no matter how cheap renewables are.

The article is poorly written. Blanchard was a chardet maintainer for years. Of course he had looked at it's code!

What he claimed, and what was interesting, was that Claude didn't look at the code, only the API and the test suite. The new implementation is all Claude. And the implementation is different enough to be considered original, completely different structure, design, and hey, a 48x improvement in performance! It's just API-compatible with the original. Which as per the Google Vs oracle 2021 decision is to be considered fair use.

The gzip compression of layers is actually optional in OCI images, but iirc not in legacy docker images. The two formats are not the same. On SSDs, the overhead for building an index for a tar is not that high, if we're primarily talking about large files (so the data/weights/cuda layers instead of system layers). The approach from the article is of course still faster, especially for running many minor variations of containers, though I am wondering how common it is for only some parts of weights changing? I would've assumed that most things you'll do with weights would change about 100% of them when viewed through 1M chunks. The lazy pulling probably has some rather dubious/interesting service latency implications.

The main annoyance imho with gzip here is that it was already slow when the format was new (unless you have Intel QAT and bothered to patch and recompile that into all the go binaries which handle these, which you do not).

The state religion in Kuwait is Sunni Islam. It's much more nuanced than "Muslim brethren", except perhaps less so when Israel is directly involved, as it is today.

It's also important to note that these are not democracies. The state frequently does things that people aren't entirely happy with, it's only when the people (or religious leaders!) become sufficiently unhappy that it becomes a problem.

I don't like that analogy. If I had to work with a Claude like junior I would ask for them to get removed from my team - inability to learn stuff, completely unexpected/unrelatable faliure modes and performance.

On the other hand Claudes tenacity, stamina and sustained speed is superhuman. The more capable models become the more valuable this is.

not as simple as just OCR and map though. Some letters want space above them some want to be placed lower.

take g and f and c for examples

g and f are about the same height but different ofsets, and c would look like a capital C if scaled to the same size as g and f. (we probably want to auto adjust scales to match more evenly unless the text is on a grid (in case removing the grid is the difficulty)

These are just the difficulty I found by trying to make a more automated input to fontforge.

People are saying this now because Benjamin Netanyahu has vocally and persistently been trying to get into a full scale war with Iran for 40 years. The Trump Administration is the first administration corrupt, gullible, dumb enough to agree and commit. All other U.S. Admins have primarily postured or done limited retaliation based engagements with Iran or engaged in soft power activities and got comprehensive deals.

Happy to answer questions. Quick note on methodology: the TFLOPS figure is effective (computed as if doing the full dense multiply) — ROLV doesn't violate hardware peak, it avoids work entirely via structured sparsity. Weights are pulled directly from HuggingFace, output verified with norm hashes and a canonical check. If you want to run a baseline on your own hardware, there's a validation kit at rolv.ai.

If the model wasn't trained on copyleft, if he didn't use a copyleft test suite and if he wasn't the maintainer for years. Clearly the intent here is copyright infringement.

If you have software your testsuite should be your testsuite, you do dev with a testsuite and then mit without releasing one. Depending on the test-suite it may break clean room rules, especially for ttd codebases.

To me, there is little difference between the stock market, prediction markets and horse betting. I just don't believe speculation is necessary to a healthy economy, and often ends up hurting millions accross the world in the "burst" phases of the cycle.

Also, I don't think we should model our economies and societies after actual jungles. Let's strive for a system where everyone gets enough instead of chasing perfect efficiency and leaving a large part vulnerable to be crushed by any moderately strong wind.

> This is the myth of central planning. Like, yes, if you could predict the future this would be better. But you're always going to be constrained by your leadership's assumptions about what the world will look like. It works–sometimes fabulously–until the context changes. A new technology. A new climate. A new idea. Then the system, overoptimised for the past, reveals itself as the brittle thing it always was.

I am not advocating for central planning or any form of communism. I'm just noticing that nowadays, it takes remarkably little for things to go horribly wrong, and we ought to address that somehow.

> if you're fighting someone and they stab you in the gut, then push you over and start stomping your face, are they distracting you from treating your stab wound?

Yes, they are? If they just stabbed you and then left you, then you could treat your wound. If they instead continue to attack you, it's quite literally because they felt it wasn't enough, and don't want to let you treat yourself.

Anyways, bit silly example, we're not talking about two humans in a violent knife fight, we're talking about a person and administration guilty of so many crimes that it's hard for people to keep track and even less do anything about it.

Color me surprised if the person who said "why are you still talking about Epstein? Stop doing that" might want to try to do distracting things to make people stop talking about Epstein.

You are rewriting history. Any time Jobs had to step aside from the CEO position, Cook took over immediately. He was Jobs' designated successor for a decade when he learned he was sick. They merely implemented the succession plan they already had.

When Cook took over, he was unequivocally the only choice. He steered the company in his own direction, with a focus on operational health to the detriment of other things. He kind of lost the plot somewhere in there and has been spinning his wheels for a while. That's not what I'm contesting. It's your idea that Jobs didn't want Cook. Jobs loved Cook.

Of course, the problem with this interpretation is that all modern LLMs are derivatives from huge amounts of text under completely different licenses, including "All rights reserved", and therefore can not be used for any purpose.

I'm not sure how you square the circle of "it's alright to use the LLM to write code, unless the code is a rewrite of an open source project to change its license".

> And here the question is: why would you want a single goal? Why 100% renewable?

Overlapping goals can coexist on varying time frames.

Setting aside nuclear (technically not "renewable", but also not carbon-based, and very energy dense) the goal is to stop releasing CO2 into the air from energy generation and return to pre-industrial levels.

This is because the surplus of CO2 generated so far has already caused clear and undeniable problems (not all of which are yet fully realized), and continued excess will only make things worse.

Glad you're already on AL2023 - that's exactly the right place to be for 1.35.
On the "deprecated for a while" point — fair, but there's a difference between "deprecated" and "kubelet refuses to start." Teams have been running AL2 through multiple K8s versions without incident. The silent November AMI cutoff combined with the 1.35 hard failure is a step change, not a continuation of the same slow deprecation curve. A lot of teams that were comfortable coasting until June 30 just had their timeline moved up without a notification.

Exactly this! Many times I read an article that someone says is "obviously AI" and lists several tell tale signs, but these are patterns I also follow in my own writing. I guess that makes me an LLM? These are patterns I was taught for years in school, both in high school and in college level technical writing classes. They may be tropes - or rather patterns - but that's because they were taught en masse to students across North America. Like you said, to really sound like an average person, the answer would be to write in an inconsistent, meandering way full of logical fallacies.

They should have collaborated with GrapheneOS like Motorola instead of starting from scratch with Linux and a proprietary user interface. As it stands, this phone will have worse security than a Pixel with Graphene or the upcoming Motorola phone.

It's not an improvement over common closed source Android varieties either, and will certainly have worse app compatibility than Android. Hardware switches are irrelevant if you can't trust the software.

> This behavior predates Trump. He's just an accelerationist of where this sort of behavior was always bound to go.

Idk if I agree with this. First off, your initial verbiage is distinctly Trumpian. Second, I think Trump, like Hitler, activates latent sentiments that are largely kept at bay with "normal" post-WWII world leader politics. I think it's anomalous and once we get out of it things will normalize.

But really, my main point was that the politics and the "whys" of these decisions (capture Maduro, bomb Iran) are outside the scope of the article. It assumes that the decisions have been made and is looking only at the operational outcomes.

It seems like a lot of the commenters are responding as if the article is making the point that "the US is like the Culture" but it's much more narrow and specific than that.

Battery storage that works at grid-scale is a fairly recent technological innovation. It's good that humanity figured out this technological innovation, and demand for better battery technology from the smartphone and electric car revolutions had a lot to do with it. But battery storage is still expensive and relatively-new physical infrastructure that takes time and expense to deploy at scale, and it's still in the process of happening now.

Modern languages are not safe enough nor are they very amenable to versioning, serialization, resumption, etc. It makes sense for modern durable execution engines to meet developers where they are (I wrote multiple of the SDKs at Temporal, including the Python one, this is just a fun toy side project), but a purpose-built language that has serialization, patching, wait conditions, kwargs everywhere, externalizing side effects, etc, etc, etc is a big win vs something like Python.

Admittedly the lang spec doesn't do a great job at the justification side, but the engine spec adjacent to it at https://github.com/cretz/duralade/blob/initial-runtime/docs/... that has sections showing CLI/API commands can help make it clearer where this runtime is unique.

tl;dr the Major Questions Doctrine is something SCOTUS has been using to decide of Congress has given wide latitude. For big questions, Congress needs to be explicit. They used this in the IEEPA and tariffs case to end the arbitrary levies. Tariffs were not mentioned and are a big issue. Similar story here with claiming broad interpretation on an important issue.

> As a technology, ICE is pretty much close to its peak. It's very hard to imagine significant improvements in ICE as far as efficiency, weight, and power output goes

What makes you say that? Jet engine manufacturers are constantly making improvements, and one of the biggest recent breakthroughs has been around using proprietary alloys in the construction of some parts to make them lighter and able to operate at hotter temperatures, thus increasing efficiency. I'm not working on any engines, but from a layman's perspective I don't see why there couldn't be material science improvements made to combustion engines.

The length of day increases by around 1.7 milliseconds per century long term (due to the moon’s gravity continuously slowing down Earth’s rotation), which without leaps seconds translates to around one total minute per century. Note that this is cumulative: next century you will need two leap minutes, and so on. Of course, there are significant shorter-term variations in Earth’s rotation due to other factors, so it isn’t quite that smooth in practice.

There was a resolution in 2022 to make a decision in or before 2035, to increase the allowable deviation from one second to a longer interval, like one minute. But that would become more frequent in the long run as well, and likely would still cause disruptions whenever it happens. Though on the other hand there would likely be a longer advance notice for it as well.

Jolla / Sailfish is a 13 year old project and through all this time they couldn't make a foothold, or even sustain some small motivated community around them. During this time:

- company folded and changed hand multiple times, including russian ownership

- the tablet scandal leaving users with lost funds

- closed source parts

- locked bootloader

- charging a $50 device reset fee

- not much change in Sailfish OS since ages

- buggy Android compatibility and near zero native devs, all jumped ship

At this point I think they are just one of the grifters preying on naive "EU first" supporters shoveling whatever they still have in a new casing.

I'd love the idea of a greenfield EU Linux mobile OS, but I don't think it should come from this company.

Hi!

If the first group doesn't pick up, it starts calling the second group, but first group continues to ring.

If the caller hangs up, all ringing is stopped.

The cool thing is if it encounters the native phone's voicemail, it hangs up and continues to ring so doesn't think it was a picked up call.

We do have our own voicemail that will eventually answer (user defined timing), which then transcribes and sends the voicemail+transcription to all the group members.

Show HN: Nikui – An LLM-Powered "Stench Guard" for Your CI/CD
by amirshk80 | 2026-03-09 17:34:39+00:00
I built Nikui because standard linters catch typos but miss architectural rot. It is a forensics tool inspired by Adam Tornhill's "Code as a Crime Scene."

The core idea is the Hotspot Score: Stench (LLM-detected debt) x Churn (Git commit frequency). A messy file that changes daily is a priority; a messy file untouched for years is ignored.

I feel like the licenses that suffer the most isn't the GPL, but the ones like SSPL. If your code can be re-implemented easily and legally by AWS using an LLM, why risk publishing it?

It does feel like open source is about to change. My hunch is that commercial open source (beyond the consultation model) risks disappearing. Though I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

At a certain point, I think we had reached a kind of equilibrium where some corporations were decent open source citizens. They understood that they could open source things like infrastructure or libraries and keep their 'crown jewels' closed. And while Stallman types might not have been happy with that, it seemed to work out for people.

Now they've just hoovered up all the free stuff into machines that can mix it up enough to spit it out in a way that doesn't even require attribution, and you have to pay to use their machine.

Appreciate the reality check. Mullvad has been a bill I don't think about twice when it comes around, and I cancelled streaming services years ago.

To your point though, as I'm running my plex server on an old ~midrange laptop, 4K is pretty rough for me to stream as well. I'm sure better hardware fixes this, but that's higher cost. YMMV based on what hardware you have on hand to repurpose
