I haven't seen a page on HF that'll show me "what models will fit", it's always model by model. The shared tool gives a list of a whole bunch of models, their respective scores, and an estimated tok/s, so you can compare and contrast.

I wish it didn't require to run on the machine though. Just let me define my spec on a web page and spit out the results.

Two main reasons:

1. Compute. It's easy to make a voice assistant for a few people. But it takes a hell of a lot of GPU to serve millions.

2. Guard Rails. All of those assistants have the ability to affect the real world. With Alexa you can close a garage or turn on the stove. It would be real bad if you told it to close the garage as you went to bed for the night and instead it turned on the stove and burned down the house while you slept. So you need so really strong guard rails for those popular assistants.

3 And a bonus reason: Money. Voice assistants aren't all the profitable. There isn't a lot of money in "what time is it" and "what's the weather". :)

Spring 2020, they released the iPhone SE 2020, 4 years after the previous iPhone SE. This satiated a lot of the demand for people holding out for a smaller phone.

Count me in this group. I wound up buying the 13 mini right before it was going to be discontinued because I knew that would be the last small phone they would produce and I'm keeping it until it dies (or I can't get a battery for it).

I'm sorry your project got pulled. You may or may not want to hear this but I would love if your talents were layered on, say Matrix/Element or XMPP, in part because I want those projects strong and they don't have the same risk of killing your project.

But I admit that's more ideological.

Question about your project: was there any warning? Any sign Google was taking inspiration from you?

> Why are we "saving daylight" when there's more of it?

We're saving it from the morning in the summer, when there's way too much of it while we're asleep, to use it in the evening, when we want to enjoy the outdoors with our families and friends after dinner.

The point is to increase the enjoyment of summer sunlight after the work day is over.

Mostly agree, I will push back on the '25% youth unemployment is western cope stat - broad PRC unemployment is like 6%, i.e. youth find jobs, PRC youth simply gets to fuckarounditis at home until they decide enter workforce later'

Rural Chinese kids are getting shafted in every way possible. Most adults are there two days a month at best (basically almost all present adults are 50 or more), they are undereducated, and rural jobs pay a fifth to an eighth of what an unqualified factory job pays, and there isn't enough of them. It's probably a blip for Chinese employment numbers, but man, rural China seems harsher than rural Vietnam, at least for the new generations.

I build custom software and set up AI coding agents for small teams.

I wrote a hands-on guide on agentic AI coding workflows that gets steady organic traffic: https://gabezen.com/guide/

Reach out if you're a:

- Edtech platform that needs to scale past 10k users. Built Peer Feedback for Georgia Tech's online CS program from scratch. 10,000+ students, AI-powered evaluation, Canvas LMS integration.

- Podcast or media company building production infrastructure. Was fCTO at Listen Network (podcast ad tech company). Built their core ad-tech product. Also built my own podcasting SaaS.

- Django app that needs to ship now. Django is my primary weapon. Was fCTO at Cityrow, until acquisition. They had a Django backend.

- Small team that needs a CTO who actually codes. GyftGram's CEO (Techstars '24) said I did in weeks what most dev shops take months to finish.

- Spanish or Japanese-speaking markets. Native English and Spanish. JLPT N2 in Japanese. I lead teams and talk to customers in all three. Not many fCTOs can.

Seed to Series B. 10-20 hrs/week.

I don't think the author is asserting that you can't talk politics with your coworkers?

The context is specifically about online sites like HN and the well known phenomenon where the technical usefulness of the site is inversely proportional to how many participants are trying to bring their preferred politics into it.

If you are able to have productive discussions about tech & politics with your coworkers, that might be because you are exceptional humans, or because you were in person rather than online, or because you already shared your co-workers political opinions. None of those apply to an online space like HN.

Pay enough attention to find worthy causes too contribute to. Don't pay so much attention that you get overwhelmed into depressed inaction. There's always going to be bad shit going on in the world. Sitting at home crying about it is less effective than if I hadn't heard about it and am able to go out there and do something about something I did manage to hear about.

Just Thursday, I left home at 6AM got in an uber, waited at the airport got on a plane for an hour and half , waited at another airport, got on another plane for four hours, uber to the Airbnb and while I was out to dinner that night, my wife and I were planning a trip we were taking during the summer.

Are you suggesting that o just queue everything up until I set my laptop up?

Again you realize you’re the odd one right with most activity these days taking place on mobile?

That has to be latitude dependent.

> you're getting natural sunlight through all your windows for hours every morning

Hah "hours". Not in Northern Europe you're not. My commute is dark on both sides. If I had to choose which side I'd prefer to be brighter I'd prefer the end of the day rather than feeling like my daylight has been wasted in the office. I shift my schedule in winter to make up for this as best I can.

Based on my own lived bias and HN addiction... The leading demographic has to be West Coast of the USA, then the multinational PNW as the most active HN users.

Again, I am biased, but as far as HN bias goes, that ain't bad. These are amazing places chock-full of the coolest people.

After decades of the West Coast life I now live in rest of world, and wish that rest of world could be so lucky.

At a friend's party recently, I met someone who told me that they had worked in data for Meta's glasses division and warned me never to get Meta glasses for this very reason—that the workers can see everything. They told me of a comical case where a guy pulled down his pants to look at his penis, asked "Meta, what is this?", and the AI responded that it was a thumb. XD

It was cannibalized by iphone 12 mini and also se and older iphones still being sold by carriers. All that going on and it still sold millions of units. If it was any other phone manufacturer but apple they'd be happy with those numbers. In fact if it was apple 10 or 15 years ago they'd also probably be happy with those numbers.

You also have to understand the psychological profile of us "utilitarian" iphone users. We only get one when our hands are forced either hardware failure or forced software obsolescence. The iphone mini came to market and was discontinued all in the time I was still using my SE.
Ask HN: Codex CLI error reveals "GPT-5.4-ab-arm2" string
by quantisan | 2026-03-03 01:34:01+00:00
While using codex CLI gpt-5.3-codex model, I just had a stream disconnect with a specific error message. It looks like I was routed to an A/B test for a 5.4 branch:

```
stream disconnected before completion: This user's access to gpt-5.4-ab-arm2-1020-1p-codexswic-ev3 has been temporarily limited for potentially suspicious activity related to cybersecurity.
```

Anyone else seeing GPT 5.4 variants?

This doesn’t seem that weird to me?

* They haven’t said the source isn’t available to them, just that the closed nature of the ANE means they can’t use it in OSS.

* They’ve repeated constantly that it can’t do backprop and isn’t useful for most MLX use cases.

And really, ANE isn’t even that interesting for MLX really; it’s a limited resource power efficient inference engine for smallish edge models. If you want to use it you can use the Apple APIs, which while limited are generally “shaped” like what you’d want to do anyway. Almost every “biggish” CPU has one of these now and Apple don’t want to give away the specifics of theirs (even though it’s been pretty thoroughly RE’d by real REs and re-summarized by Claude, like this article).

I'm a Christian. That changes several things for me.

Despite all the mess, I believe that God is ultimately in control. (Yeah, I hear you say, "Sure doesn't look like it!" And you're right, it doesn't. And yet, how would you expect a world in rebellion against God to look? Do you expect it to be peaceful, running smoothly? I don't.) This world is crazy, and we're making it crazier. But I believe that God is there, limiting the craziness.

I believe that this life is not all there is for me. I don't have to have everything work out perfectly for me here, because this isn't all that I get. If war comes, if I get killed, I'm not cheated out of my one chance to live. I get another.

I believe that God cares about what happens to me. (This does not mean that everything works out perfectly for me! My life has had issues, a couple of them pretty major. Still, I trust Him, not to give me a perfect life, but to do good to me.

But a bunch of you aren't Christians. Well, if what you just read appeals to you, you can come and get it. But if not:

Life is still pretty good. I'm enjoying walking. (I had foot surgery three months ago. The days when I can walk without pain are nice.) I can't fix all that out there, but I can speak encouragement and, hopefully, wisdom into the lives of people close to me. I have a wife who loves me. We laugh a lot together. Yeah, there's a whole lot of crazy that I can't do anything about, but life is still pretty good.

> Well, it's two days later now, and it turns out Colbert just lied. He didn't want to abide by the 95-year-old law about equal time, and didn't extend an offer to Jasmine Crockett.

How did Colbert lie? And do you have a source for the supposed lie? The equal-time rule does not obligate proactive actions from the broadcaster such as invitations or "extend[ing]" an offer. The equal-time rule requires an equal opportunity for political opponents to use a broadcast station, and it is up to each political opponent to reach out and assert their intent to use the equal-time rule. Jasmine Crockett did not request to be on Stephen Colbert's show, much less was denied such a request.

> Then he lied about it and the network corrected him.

No, CBS lied about what the equal-time rule requires.

> He didn't want to abide by the 95-year-old law about equal time

Don't pretend that the "law about equal time" is the same in 2026 as it was in the 95 previous years [1]:

> Late-night and daytime talk show interviews were long considered to be bona fide news segments until FCC chair Brendan Carr issued new guidance in 2026 signaling that these types of shows would no longer be automatically granted the bona fide news exemption.

[break to avoid mixing quotes from different parties]

> He didn't want to abide by the 95-year-old law about equal time

Could you explain how you reached the number 95? I don't get 95+-1 from 2026-1927 or 2026-1934 [1].

> and didn't extend an offer to Jasmine Crockett.

CBS didn't want to air the Talarico interview because CBS didn't want to be forced to provide equal time in case Jasmine Crockett would have used the equal-time rule to get her own interview. Colbert did not oppose and has not opposed having Crockett on in relation to the equal-time rule.

I get the feeling that you're pretending to be angry on Jasmine Crockett's behalf. What's more, it seems like you want to be angry at Colbert and are projecting your feelings onto Jasmine Crockett. But why does Jasmine Crockett seem to have no issue with Colbert's actions, and have complaints about CBS [2]?

I love the Facebook glasses, they seem to be the swan song of a shitty company. Young people have abandoned Facebook when their parents started hanging out, now it's all boomers and bots posting conspiracy theories.

If they think this surveillance tech is going to push the company forward, it means leadership is even more disconnected from reality than the Amazon people who greenlit the superbowl ad. It means the company is dying. Huzzah!

Is there anything you need to do during that time? Or are you looking to fill that time with whatever to keep you occupied and enjoy whatever?

If it's the former, you lead a very different life from me. There are very few things in my life that show up and require immediate action (or action within 24-ish hours for that matter. Most things can wait). If it's the latter, I try to fill that time with reading.

Setting aside whether the problems are temporary: what else is he supposed to do? As a customer, the only power you have in the relationship is "I'm not going to do business with you any more". And you can certainly threaten that, but at some point you have to actually walk away. If all people do is complain but keep buying Apple products, Apple will never have an incentive to improve.

You're being pretty defensive / aggressive about what some might call a phone addiction.

Most on HN know the data: healthier people tend to enforce boundaries with their devices. The average person is addicted, yes, but I'm not sure being "the odd one" in an era of actually decreasing literacy and numeracy and attention span is the insult that you seem to think.

> I wish they would commit to doing a mini every x years

The problem is all the tooling is pipelined for annual releases. You can't just find a team to do the mini; it has to always be there, and parts of it have to always be working on the next one. Your vendors will get grumpy because it doesn't fit their product cycles.

Is it working, though? You have to hold an incredibly low opinion of the intelligence of the leadership of the rest of Middle East to think they won't realize it's not exactly what it is. The few indicators I've seen suggest they're not falling for it. They might not like the US or Israel, but Iran was nobody's favorite country either.

Edit: for instance: https://x.com/kuwaittimesnews/status/2028445060556095866 They seem to be putting the blame in the right place.

Come on, the iPhone had:

- no app store
- no video recording at all
- no copy/paste function
- no selfie camera
- no GPS

Just to name a few. I won't even go into things like touch/faceID, wireless charging, iCloud, any form of water resistance etc.

And then in terms of the specs on what it did have that got better, processor, memory, storage, screen quality, battery life, camera, it's all orders of magnitude better. There really is no comparison.

I mean look at the price of a digital camera, music player etc, hell even external battery pack in 2007, with the same specs as the iPhone today, and you'll easily find support for using the words 'hefty price drop'.

Mac user since the 90s, 10.14 Mojave seemed like the last release I liked and where the apps I used still worked correctly (or at all). Ironically Apple has already broken most of the apps I cared about, and for the rest LLM tools give enough leverage that I may be able to cobble together replacements for the rest.

I don't understand why are you downvoted. Are people in this thread really pulling out a laptop and trying to get it connected (or pay for one with a cellular modem) every time they need to respond two words to an email, call a uber or look up where is the nearest coffee shop that is open at an odd hour?

HN seems to have some really weirdly prescriptive view of how people ought to use their devices in a way that is almost like Steve jobs.

Nowadays phones, tablets and game boxes are the consumer products. Currently they outnumber consumer windows desktops by about 6 or 7 to 1 [0]. 5 years ago, it was about 3.5 to 1.

Microsoft doesn't seem to have much control over this. They are executing a pivot in response.

If your Alexa did that, how quickly would you box it up and send it to me. :)

I am serious though about having it sent to me: if anyone has an Alexa they no longer want, I'm happy to take it off your hands. I have eight and have never bought one. Having worked there I actually trust the security more than before I worked there. It was basically impossible for me, even as a Principle Engineer, to get copies of the Text to Speech and I literally never heard a customer voice recording.

Robots don’t keep humans safe. Humans keep humans safe. An industrial machine stays put in its context and humans can be trained to work around it, and at least notionally consent to be in its presence. A roaming machine means every human nearby needs to be constantly vigilant, and none of us may revoke consent.

In the second case, machine intelligence is supposed to keep us safe. That intelligence is controlled by people or companies that may or may not have the public benefit as motive for their actions. The typical response to that is to legislate, or publicly advocate for change. But what if the entity that controls the robots also controls the laws? That means there’s no way for regular people to revoke consent to the presence of dangerous robots.

So, cleanly, what if the CEO of a self-driving car company donates money to a government that provides it immunity from the actions of its robots? Who do we trust in that case?

I still prefer a world where we solve the robot problem early, with clubs and fire.

> and if i directly do an mmap syscall on linux from a freestanding forth

... mmap() remains a system call to a C kernel designed for use from the C library in C programs, and you're running what amounts to an emulator.

The fact that you can imagine[1] an environment where that might not be the case doesn't mean that it isn't the case in the real world.

Your argument appears to be one of Personal Liberty: de facto truths don't matter because you can just make your own. This is sort of a software variant of a Sovereign Citizen, I think.

[1] Can you even link a "freestanding forth" with an mmap() binding on any Unix that doesn't live above the libc implementation? I mean, absent everything else it would have to open code all the flag constants, whose values change between systems. This appears to be a completely fictitious runtime you've invented, which if anything sits as evidence in my favor and not yours.

unfortunately we had to shut down, hence decided to open source the code.
There are few products like this online/offline. Thinking it might be useful to somebody, and if so will continue to develop this baby, hence this post.
What it does: allows you to upload huge amount of docs (tested with 100K docs from arxiv), and ask questions to AI agent.
What's different: it's fully contained out of the box, install in a server and work offline, full privacy. Can handle huge sheets/CSV. It's like RAG, but more like research assistant with multi-step processing.
Love to hear feedback.

I think if you found me on LinkedIn you'd find this comment very ironic. I'm trying to perfect "stories" more before I make them the main feed since they're the core of bringing news, policy, and social posts together.

The idea is to have ordinary people read their news with the facts and the impacts. You don't need to engage with MSF or your food bank for them to make an impact. Bringing policy impact to news does require engagement - it requires interest. This tool isn't for policy researchers and that is exactly why it's not the exact thing you described. Every day people need to use it not people starving or in a war zone.

Mass unqualified imports is a feature that I really dislike in languages. At least please make it less syntactically convenient so people are not drawn to it. Trawling around to find out where symbols come from has wasted a lot more of my time than unqualified imports have ever saved. Using a very short alias gets you 90% of the way there anyways.
