> But why would an article address _their_ specific usecase?

amelius, if anyone had specific requirements, it was you with your "systems for in-flight entertainment".

OP asked a very reasonable question for a very generic comparison to the 800-pound gorilla in the consumer CPU world in general, and ARM CPU world in particular.

If the article can reference AMD's Zen 5 cores and Intel's Lion/Sunny Cove, they could have made at least a brief reference to M-series CPUs. As a reader and potential buyer of any of them, I find it would have been a very useful comparison.

This is some of my favorite writing so I want to share. It’s filled with timeless wisdom. The heaviness of the moment of the US founding seems in similar weight to the AI revolution we’re experiencing right now.

You'll need much better high-speed cameras than on existing glasses, and a really good beam steering mechanism coupled with much better laser than Blu-ray diodes. It'll be heavier than most VR goggles and very finicky. I don't even know which ones of fixed camera with a dual polygonal or standard 2-axis galvos or prism based PTZ with the camera doing classical lock-on and trained laser shooting from the opposite side of the camera. It's a >$50k project at benchtop static PoC level.

Put aside everything unethical and unworkable about it. Probably cheaper to lobby for a think-about-kids camera ban for products weighing less than 250g or contains transparent window apparatus that may or may not be curved in diameters larger than 10mm for fire risks or something.

Sensors all over the tracks? There’s probably many different sensor strategies you could use to detect imperfections.

I know that modern roller coasters are outfitted with a bunch of stress, vibration, conductivity, etc sensors. There’s a theme park near me where huge fast roller coasters run all day every day all season. The speeds aren’t as high but I bet given the twists and turns the stresses and tolerances are worse.

I’ve been astonished at how bad the battery is in my base iPad I bought last year.

Granted I’m switching to it from an iPhone 17 pro max but still the thing goes from 100% to 80% overnight without being used and a 40 minute Zwift ride routinely drains 15-20%. Makes me much more reluctant to buy another as it has to be tethered to a charger.

Maybe it's just from an American perspective, but this is absolutely wild to me. Even just the concept of a government-mandated pre-approval body for advertisement seems like a completely pants-on-head concept [1].

I think the American First Amendment would obliterate this government body and probably the whole institution if it was ever tried.

Exactly! The situation happened, no going back, but they had a choice - to be transparent about it and I am sure people would be appreciative of it, maybe giving them net positive rather than negative, but the choice they have made is a complete opposite and a sign that no one should trust them.

If a commit's job is to capture state at a particular point in time, so that it can be reproduced and understood, then it _also_ needs to include the exact model used. This is only useful if you can ensure access to the previous versions of the model -- which is not something that providers are willing to do (in fact, they regularly "retire" old models). The only transparent way forward is to open source the models, along with their weights, and their training set (to verify that the weights match, and to retrain the model when new architectures and new hardware are released).

The fact that we do not insist upon this, would be similar to depending on a SaaS to compile and packages software, and being totally cool with it. Both LLMs and build systems, convert human-friendly notation into machine-friendly notation. We should hold the LLM companies to the same standards of transparency that we hold the people who make things like nix, clang, llvm, cmake, cargo, etc.

I don't think that's the primary reason there's momentum there. The reason is to avoid ARM licensing fees and IP usage restrictions.

I think you'll see ever more accelerating RISC-V adoption in China if the United States continues on its "cold war" style mentality about relations with them.

That said we're a long long way from Actually Existing RISC-V being at performance parity with ARM64, let alone x86.

What's the SOTA open source or weight available turn taking model these days? I tried pipecat/smart-turn-v3 and the results are not good. It only works well when you say a short sentence in a clear voice. Anything else will cause it to wait indefinitely.
Closed source API models are obviously a lot better but adds network latency and the cost adds up.

> ‘"off-topic" on those boards.’

True. Segregated in such a way that you can ignore it as you so choose by just not reading anything in that space.

At HN we have more interactive mechanisms, vote and flag.

On the one hand I appreciate the objections of people who wish political discourse was not present in this space.

And on the other hand, I like to see what percolates through this sieve.

Same with books, entertainments, specialties of engineering and science, and, sadly, the extreme actions of the present US government overturning the table and sending everyone running for cover.

Somewhat related:

A long time ago, I used "7+ Taskbar Tweaker" that added a lot of nice things to Windows 7, like reordering the tasks in the taskbar. Now I'm remembering that the best feature was to ungroup the windows of the same task, that was super nice to edit two documents in Word

It used a lot of magic, probably overwriting dll calls in the kernel of Windows. It looks like it only partially support Windows 11 https://ramensoftware.com/7-taskbar-tweaker

Because of 4000 word HN limit. I had written some more words, so I am going to be writing that as a comment. I hope the people don't mind. Please read this in continuation

"Although this idea might be naive but I haven't seen discussions about such things atleast on the public face on the internet but this idea did work the last time (for better or for worse)

the public has decided to show agency and decide not to use OpenAI period. And for a growth company like OpenAI, revenue loss is essentially the nail in its coffin. So people are realizing this and taking agency within this and their decisions matter.

But also OpenAI employees decision matters even more so. A 100 people not using OpenAI might not impact them but A 100 employees leaving OpenAI surely would. You guys have a factor of more magnitudes worth of say in all of this and have more power about all this situation.

And as the most famous quote that everyone grew up with, with great power comes great responsibility.

I hope that with this in mind, I hope that OpenAI employees can talk more about what's going on in their heads right now because we really need to have such a discussion and the best time is now.

Have a nice day to everyone reading this."
Show HN: Yaw – A terminal built around the Claude Code/Codex CLI workflow
by tkjef | 2026-03-03 12:46:53+00:00
I use Claude Code and Codex constantly, and my workflow was always the same: launch the agent, need a shell in the same directory, open a new tab, cd back.
Fifty times a day.

So I built auto-snap into Yaw — launch any AI coding CLI and it detects it and splits the pane automatically. Agent on the left, fresh shell in the same directory on the right. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Vibe CLI. You can install any of them through a built-in wizard.

Yaw is also a full terminal (tabs, split panes, broadcast, search, session restore, WebGL via xterm.js) with a built-in connection manager for SSH, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis — encrypted credentials, Tailscale auto-detection, remote Screen session management. And a chat panel that sends terminal output as context to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama, and six other providers.

Electron + xterm.js + React. v0.9.75, Windows and macOS.

Curious what other people's AI coding CLI setups look like — what's working, what's missing?

This is a neat little project. I published a post about a week ago on an easy way to make voxel meshes which may pair nicely: https://www.tyleo.com/blog/game-ready-voxel-meshes-with-low-...

Even if you don’t want to use the AI part of that guide, the Voxel Max tool I recommend is a standout voxel editor.

China also maintains a legacy line of trains, 绿皮火车, that drive at a slower speed and service smaller cities (btw they seem to have been upgraded a lot in the last 3 years, from hard wooden seats to cushioned seats and bed). The best thing (or the worst ;) is that you can smoke in the gangways, which just seems absolutely wild to me. But it was very welcomed during my 37 hour train ride.
Show HN: AISH – PTY-first shell wrapper that shows signal, not noise
by mrorigo | 2026-03-03 12:49:05+00:00
Built AISH to make terminal output more useful without changing how commands run. Your agent context will love it.

What it does:

- Runs commands in a real PTY (colors/progress still work)
- Logs full output for every run
- Shows short digest on success
- Shows relevant excerpt on failure (tool-aware detectors + generic fallback)
- Supports bash/zsh via ai wrapper and optional shims

Example:

- aish-run -- cargo test
- aish-run --last
- aish-run --open

Current detectors include pytest/jest/vitest/cargo/go/tsc/eslint/ruff/mypy/maven/gradle/dotnet/cmake/terraform/docker/kubectl.

Would love feedback on:

- detector quality / false positives
- shell UX defaults
- packaging/release experience

It's funny, but double tapping the power button to switch on the light is one of the things I miss the most when using GrapheneOS.

Most android phones I've had have had this feature, either double press or long press to get light.

GrapheneOS means you have to turn on the screen, pull down the quick access, and turn on that way. It's quick enough, but it means squinting at a bright screen in the middle of the night.

I am a ham radio operator and also a member of Radio Amateurs of Canada. As we all know, the weather can be a matter of life and death and it is important Canadians have access to the latest weather.

> been considering switching TO the mac

As a previous Mac(intosh) user of many years, before you switch back, I'd recommend trying Pop OS and its new COSMIC desktop env based on Wayland. It's still has some rough edges, not as polished as macOS was, but free from Apple's enshittification, and free in terms of open source. It's everything I wished Macintosh would have matured into, but that ship has sailed years ago.

Some people run NixOS with COSMIC DE, I'm considering that for my next machine. Also, Pop OS is based on Ubuntu, which you might also try. I've installed it for several non-technical friends and family, and they haven't had a single issue with it, migrating from Windows or Mac.

It does require really good maintenance-of-way work.

Having all trains inspect the track is feasible. The latest round of Shinkansen trains does that. They're moving away from running a Dr. Yellow track inspection train every 10 days.[1]

openclaw while cool just allowed a larger tranche of technophiles who didn't necessarily have all the skills/understanding or time to do a bunch of things that have been readily available for like over 1.5 years. There is value in that, but there is huge surge in the number of people who are even able to take advantage of the novelty. Reminds me of when hugging face came out with transformers and all of a sudden you no longer needed to wrestle with anaconda and order of installation for all the deps.

I’ve reviewed dozens of early-stage SaaS products over the last year.
The most common issue wasn’t design quality. It wasn’t performance. It wasn’t even lack of features.
It was structure.
Typical problems I kept seeing:
6–8 items in the main navigation with no hierarchy
Features scattered across unrelated sections
Upgrade pages buried 3 levels deep
Duplicate pages doing similar jobs
Onboarding flows disconnected from the core product
The result?
Users don’t explore. They don’t understand the product depth. They leave.
Before redesigning UI, I started mapping products as simple visual sitemaps — page by page, level by level.
That single exercise usually revealed:
Pages that shouldn’t exist
Missing conversion bridges
Overcomplicated user journeys
Broken logical grouping
But existing sitemap tools are mostly built for:
SEO crawling
XML exports
Enterprise documentation
Not for product thinking.
So I built a simple visual navigation/sitemap maker focused on product structure, not SEO.
You can:
Visually map every page and subpage
See hierarchy instantly
Detect over-nesting
Identify conversion dead-ends
Plan upgrade flow properly
Redesign structure before touching UI
What surprised me most:
Users are spending several minutes just reorganizing structure.
Not designing. Not styling. Just thinking clearly.
Because clarity is leverage.
When structure improves:
Copy improves
Onboarding improves
Feature discovery improves
Retention improves
I’m curious:
Do you map your entire product structure before building?
Or does navigation evolve organically as you ship?
Would love to hear how other builders approach this.

Apparently there’s a ton of this stuff and I don’t get it. It’s gross… not even just in some moral sense but ewwwwwww.

Of course I do kind of get it. Like all attention based media porn has to keep escalating. Politics did the same thing, which is why we went from debating free enterprise vs socialistic systems to outright Nazis advocating genocide debating tankies advocating the total destruction of the West. Gotta keep escalating to keep the amygdala engaged.

Morally speaking it’s treading extremely close to simulated rape porn since IRL such encounters are almost always child rape.

Not sure how well that works in China, but I like that when I travel I can have a similar schedule compared to home.

I wouldn't want to have to learn a different schedule such as getting up at midnight, having lunch at 04:00 then going to bed at 15:00. That would also make jet lag much worse because you wouldn't be able to rely on your watch to know what activity you're supposed to be doing at the time.

A double bunk bed is a significant piece of furniture, and maintaining it should be straightforward. Beyond the smooth paint finish that resists dust, the slatted bases play a critical role in hygiene. By allowing air to circulate under the mattress, you prevent the buildup of moisture that can lead to mould or dust mites. This is particularly important in the UK’s varied climate. A fresher mattress not only smells better but provides a healthier respiratory environment for children who may spend 8 to 10 hours a night in these beds.

A 450kph limit for the rolling stock is great, but how many lines are actually capable of these speeds? There's only a single line (Chengdu–Chongqing, currently under construction) which is designed for 350kph, with sections capable of 400kph. Aside from that, most lines are at 350kph - unless I'm missing something.

I have to admit, DOS memory management is very fascinating to me as a very amateur kernel investigator. I have a book called “DOS beyond 640k” which describes all sorts of extensions people back in the 80s invented to get as much free memory as possible. The contents of course are irrelevant nowadays, but it is still interesting to read as a tech book.

I've seen this a lot. Tech bros start a company that ultimately will want to be purchased by a government but they do not screen out employees that would be against this. Almost all tech out of silicon valley is started with the intent of being part of the military industrial complex. That's where most of the money is. Silicon Valley itself was started from WWII money. [1] When it comes time to complete a deal the employees rise up because the government or military wants to use their product.

These hacks will just duplicate code by not using builting Explorer/Shell32 libraries and the like. So in the end you are running two instances of different tools. Also they will be totally useless on updates.

Back in the day you could use nLite and the like to replace W98's shell with the Windows 95 one, but keeping the compatibility. On GNU/Linux and BSD, you could use FVWM instead of bloated environments, or Fluxbox, IceWM... and still run things fast.

With current Windows tons of components are interleaved.

Last week a couple of colleagues and I opened an old VGA CRT monitor to try to fix the broken front control buttons. One of my colleagues started his career as a TV repair technician, so he knows how to do it safely, but even then running a CRT without the case is scary as hell.

Anyway, the more I learn about CRTs, the more magical they seem to me. It's incredible what very smart engineers were able to accomplish decades ago with only analog technology!

I think this is exactly the kind of thing Trump is trying to slow walk us into while everyone is distracted by his war in Iran.

While I agree with the spirit of the thread and dearly love my mini, I think this reasoning doesn’t account for a substantial reduction in bezels: my iPhone 5S had more than a centimetre of black bars above and below its 4" display (altogether it was 5.4" in diagonal), I bet those phablets you mentioned had even bigger bezels and were closer to modern 8.5" phones.

This my fundamental problem with some of the propositions on this topic here.

I fundamentally disagree to only for one example in a thread here
have a copyright of 5 years for a Book Author. Many book authors could never finish their series without their first books becoming public domain or so.

On the other hand Everything created by corporations i.e. where a corporation not a single human holds a copyright can get fucked.

I get your point and it's certainly and interesting one. But my point was less "oh my, this is unbelievable" but more a question of how much impact it has on everyday life. Again (like in the other thread) quoting Wikipeda, I see ~10k in the Hopi Reservation and 165k in the Navajo Nation, that's not a lot of people.

But of course your point with Arizona stands and I'm wondering if people do mind. Glancing at the map, the only major city just at the border is Las Vegas and I don't assume a lot of cross-border commutes there.

Show HN: Vynix – Mobile app with 100 AI models for image/video/audio generation
by cosmicmeta | 2026-03-03 12:58:09+00:00
I built Vynix, a cross-platform mobile app (iOS/Android) that aggregates 100+ AI models into a single interface. Instead of switching between different AI apps, you get image generation, video creation, TTS, music generation, and LLM chat all in one place.
Tech stack: - Kotlin Multiplatform + Compose Multiplatform (shared UI across iOS & Android) - Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions) - Backend proxies to Replicate and fal.ai APIs - Credit-based system — no subscriptions required

The app adds new models within days of their public availability. Currently includes models for: - Text-to-image (multiple styles: photorealistic, anime, digital art) - Text-to-video and image-to-video - Text-to-speech (50+ voice options) - AI music generation - LLM chat (multi-modal)

Free to try — you get 40 credits on signup + daily free credits.
