You’re right, the analogy makes no sense. And what’s more, Dario didn’t make the analogy. This blogger took a partial quote out of context and constructed a blog post around it.

If you listen to the interview, Dario is talking about the Trump trade deal with Nvidia being allowed to sell H200 chips to China, but the USA gets some taxes. He thinks it’s a bad deal for long term national security. He likens it to “selling NK nuclear weapons and bragging that the casings are made by Boeing”.

It’s not about AI/nukes being equivalents- it’s about making a bad deal with a rival, giving them something they want / reducing your superiority, just so you can brag about having made a deal.

In my tests, Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is better, there is no comparison. Better tool calling and reasoning than Qwen3-Coder-Next for Html/Js coding tasks of medium size. Beware the quants and llama.cpp settings, they matter a lot and you have to try out a bunch of different quants to find one with acceptable settings, depending on your hardware.

This post strikes me as immature. Ask an older person like your grandfather what they think about “self help”. And ask like you believe they are wiser than you, not some doddering fool from “another time”. Look, we’re all slaves to our childhood learnings. But you can change and learn to think in a new way—in a way that’s you. Just be you.

I think fine-tuning still matters for production problems where you need deterministic, auditable behavior or to reliably reduce hallucinations that clever prompting alone cannot eliminate. In my experience the best pragmatic approach is parameter efficient tuning, for example LoRA or QLoRA with bitsandbytes for 4-bit training to keep costs down, paired with a RAG layer over a FAISS vector DB so you do not stuff the model context and blow your token budget. I've found that managing a few tuned adapters and a small ops pipeline is a simpler, cheaper long term tradeoff than endless prompt gymnastics, and it saves you from praying to the prompt gods every time requirements creep.

Sigh, for the umpteenth time this week. The very next sentence after the one you quoted:

By agreeing to these Terms, Customer represents and warrants to Zed that: (a) Customer is at least 18 years old

"these Terms" are the terms you need to agree to in order to download the editor. You can't agree to them if you're under 18.
Show HN: Khaga – AI Infrastructure Diagnosis for AWS, GCP, Azure and Kubernetes
by Gowrishankarhq | 2026-03-05 08:05:36+00:00
I built this after getting frustrated with jumping between CloudWatch, kubectl, and 4 other tools every time something broke in prod.
You point it at your AWS, GCP, Azure, or Kubernetes setup and it gives you a root cause analysis in plain English — severity, evidence, and fix commands. Also does Terraform plan review, Dockerfile analysis, CI/CD log parsing, and SOC2/ISO27001 compliance estimates.
Free to try, no credit card. Would love harsh feedback from people who actually manage infrastructure.

No it doesn't. You can see it https://www.services-rte.com/en/view-data-published-by-rte/g...

French nuclear is more flexible than coal by design and as flexible as many older gas plants with ALFC system. They can reach up to 0.5%/second modulation (proved by Philipsburg) if the situation requires but it's rarely the case if you have a fleet. It's still not as fast as BWR's that can reach 1%/second but german coal is the slowest load follower and still meets min requirements imposed by the grid.

"When a cold spell hits France exports turn to imports." - was true in the past, a bit, but afaik this and last winter France was net exporting a ton. And with FLA3 reaching full capacity this year it'll be even less of a problem. It's not like they have a problem now, they are the largest net exporter on the continent and it's unlikely to change soon.

"Now EDF is crying about renewables lowering nuclear earning potential and increasing maintenance costs." - yes, because ren generation is acting like a parasitic source without proper BESS deployments - they eat into firm power profits without providing firm power benefits.

"Why should a company or person with solar and storage buy grid based nuclear power? They don’t." - because in many places of the world solar+bess are not sufficient. It's also the reason why Microsoft signed a contract for TMI way above market prices instead of building a fully offgrid ren solution

EDF is selling power to neighbors and makes money from it. It also is modulating it's npp a lot, which will maybe change when AC's will be more widely deployed and EV's will expand. It also is trying to schedule most maintenance works in summer, during lowest demand periods

Yeah, those are the ones that keep us up at night. Deterministic checks catch the obvious regressions. The subtle ones — where the agent still "passes" but the vibe of its outputs has shifted — that's where we're leaning harder into longitudinal jury analysis: same criteria, same agent, tracked over time, so you can see the drift curve rather than just the current snapshot. Early days but it's the right shape of solution.

Posts made are like the letters page in my view, but even if you don't believe that should be controlled, when it comes to the adverts these publish surely it has to be the latter.

Personally I argue they are more like a newspaper as they are providing a platform. Your ISP is more like a phone company or postal service as they just transport packets from one person to another.

Cloudflare and similar are more arguable, but to my mind if you host a computer you are responsible for the contents stored on that computer.

This is solving a real pain point. I manage .cursorrules files across 16+ framework configurations and keeping them consistent is a headache — especially when different tools want slightly different formats.

How does LynxPrompt handle the format translation between tools? For example, .cursorrules is free-form markdown but Claude's CLAUDE.md has its own conventions.

For anyone looking for starter templates to use with a system like this, I have a collection of framework-specific rule files at https://github.com/survivorforge/cursor-rules and a free generator tool at https://survivorforge.surge.sh/cursorrules-generator.html
by SurvivorForge | 2026-03-05 08:07:04+00:00
This is a great idea — debugging why Cursor silently ignores rules is one of the most frustrating parts of the workflow. YAML frontmatter issues and glob pattern mismatches are the usual culprits in my experience.

One complementary approach I've found helpful: starting from well-tested rule templates rather than writing from scratch. I maintain a collection of .cursorrules files for 16+ frameworks (React, Go, Rust, Python, FastAPI, etc.) and built a free interactive generator at https://survivorforge.surge.sh/cursorrules-generator.html that lets you pick your stack and outputs a tested .cursorrules file.

Would be interesting to see if cursor-doctor could also suggest fixes for the issues it detects, not just flag them. That would make it a complete solution.

Or I can just not do stupid shit and listen to hifi headphones released in the past 2-3 years, many of which have a 3.5mm jack (and adapters for larger, if plugging into dac/pre-amps).

Which you said aren't being made anymore. Which is factually untrue. The best bit is, they're still being made! And there's plenty of people who are still buying them!

Why? Because a $170 pair of closed-backs sounds infinitely better than the $550 Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra nonsense.

FiiO FT1 32Ω being a prime example, if you are looking for closed back suggestions :^)

Interesting... AsmJit is pretty fast for compilation, but about 3x than sljit. The only way I can see how to make it fast enough, in theory (i.e. without slowing down point-lookup queries and such) would be to fuse planning with code generation - i.e. a single pass plan builder + compiler essentially. Not sure if Umbra tries to do that, and AsmJit is not the best choice for it anyway, but with sljit it could be on par with interpreter even for fastest queries I believe. Pretty hard (likely impossible) to implement though, planning is inherently a non-linear process...

That's interesting. I knew foldables have been selling well, and I assumed they were basically the promise that tablets were trying to sell but as you said- usable this time. I've never heard anyone's actual story laid out like this before though.

Now I'm having second thoughts on what I'll do myself because I would have never guessed a foldable would be ideal as you described.

I've been trying to avoid building an $8,000 tech stack of redundant devices that I don't need. Which is what Apple is all about, and then some. It's not the initial investment that bothers me, it's calculating replacement costs over time. It's pretty quickly that you have half a new vehicle in redundant electronics. It leaves you asking: why?

So while I appreciate the longevity and durability of my iPhone 12 mini, along with seamless Airdrop and the Airtag network being as handy as it gets, I'm thinking about going back to Android for docking support. This is a feature I don't think Apple will ever add until the end of time, so I may as well bite the bullet now and get another OS switch over with.

I'm not entirely convinced I would love a foldable like you do, but I am rethinking that now. I've been on the idea that Microsoft's partnership with Samsung for Phone Link features will make my life delightful at my desktop battlestation, and DeX with a lapdock will cover any mobile needs. A lapdock really does create an alternative to the battery life offered by the M-series Macbooks, while leaving me with only two devices to maintain and replace with my desktop and phone.

It's amazing with the flexibility and options offered in the Android space, whether it be my proposal or your foldable experience, how they don't have more marketshare. I think the issue is marketing, people need to be shown what they can do with a product and Apple makes Continuity and closed ecosystem features seem like a value add. When it's kind of a lure to an iCloud subscription and $8,000 personal tech stack.

Generating a good cli isn't all that hard for agentic coding tools. When you do it manually it's highly repetitive work. But all you are doing is low level plumbing. Given some parsed arguments, call a function, return the result (with some formatting, prettying, etc.). In the end it's just a facade for an API, library, or whatever else you want to have a cli for. Easy to write. Easy to test. But manually going through your API resource by resource, parameter by parameter, etc. takes a long time. An LLM just blazes through that in a few minutes. Generate some tests, tweak as needed, and you are good to go.

I did a few CLIs with codex in the last few weeks. I do simple ops with this stuff. I've had a few use cases for new features where previously I would have had to build some kind of quick and dirty admin UI just to use and test a new API feature before being able to integrate it into our product. With a generated cli, I can just play with it from the command line. Or make codex do that for me.

A good cli with a modern command line argument parser, well documented options, bash/zsh auto complete, pretty colors, etc. is generally nice to have. I mapped resources to commands and sub commands, made it add parameters with sensible defaults or optional ones. Then I got lazy and just asked it what else it thought it was missing, it made some suggestions and I gave it the thumbs up and it all got added. I even generated a simple interactive TUI at some point. Because why not? I also made it generate a md skill file explaining how to use the cli that you can just drop in your skills directory.

Yeah, here's some examples of all these fascists doing exactly that:

Soviet Union - The show trials of the 1930s were conducted with full legal apparatus: confessions, judges, verdicts. Stalin's purges operated through legally constituted troikas. Entirely "lawful" by Soviet law.

East Germany (DDR) - The Stasi's surveillance and harassment programmes were codified in law. When the wall fell, many Stasi officers genuinely argued their conduct was legal under GDR statute: a defence that West German courts largely rejected.

Castro's Cuba - Mass executions after the revolution were conducted by legally constituted revolutionary tribunals. Castro explicitly defended this on legality grounds when challenged by foreign press in 1959.

Chavez/Maduro's Venezuela - Suppression of opposition media, jailing of political opponents was consistently defended as operating within Venezuelan law, which was progressively rewritten to make it so. Classic self-referential legality.

Mao's Cultural Revolution - The revolutionary committees had legal standing. Persecution of intellectuals and landlords proceeded through formal (if kangaroo) legal processes.

How do those companies make money? Qwen, GLM, Kimi, etc all released for free. I have no experience in the field, but from reading HN alone my impression was training is exceptionally costly and inference can be barely made profitable. How/why do they fund ongoing development of those models? I'd understand if they release some of their less capable models for street cred, but they release all their work for free.

They did send out a follow-up email about this earlier this week:

---

Our email yesterday was imprecise relative to our actual new Terms. To be specific:

- You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service (Zed’s AI-enabled software-as-a-service offering, including features like account creation/sign in, Zed Free and Zed Pro, and collaboration). See https://zed.dev/terms#21-eligibility. We set the threshold at 18 due to children's data privacy obligations under COPPA, equivalent international frameworks, and an increasing number of state and regional laws that extend protections to anyone under 18. Those regulations require parental consent verification, age-gated data handling, and separate retention policies for minors. Building and maintaining that infrastructure is a real cost for a small team, and getting it wrong carries regulatory risk. Setting the line at 18 lets us maintain a single privacy framework for all account holders without carve-outs.

- Zed's Software (open source code editing software) is governed by our open source licenses. In cases where the open source license can govern, it will over the Terms. See https://zed.dev/terms#24-restrictions.

If you have questions, reply to this email or reach us at legal@zed.dev.

absurd yes but same principle. companies have to be subject to government especially in technologies that enable or manage violence. this is because the role of the government is to collectively manage and allocate violence in the manner the people desire

This works a lot better in JavaScript, which is exactly this model - a single threaded executor with async await. The problem you talk about is solved with function colouring. Async functions are marked as such. In general, sync functions can’t call async functions. (Well, you can invoke them. You just can’t run them to completion before returning).

For all the complaints about function colouring, I’m glad JavaScript has them. A sync function becoming an async function is a breaking API change. This is much better than the situation in Python, where yield points are invisible.

> but Android mobile devices far outsell Apple devices and always have

"far outsell" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

The iPhone has a market share of 60% in the US [1]. The leading Android manufacturer Samsung has a market share of 22% in the US.

These numbers are from last year; the iPhone sold like hotcakes in the European 5, the US (of course), Australia, Mainland China and Japan [2].

BTW, the European 5 consists of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK.

Apple by itself globally makes up about 43% of the revenue in the smartphone market [3].

Yes, devices running the Android operating system sell a lot of units; the majority of them are no-frills devices from manufacturers most people have never heard of. Which is fine—having a phone is better than not having one.

But don’t act like Android is some kind of juggernaut; these five markets represent 2.24 billion people and 60% of the world's GDP. Android isn’t the bestselling phone in any of these countries.

"France's nuclear operators have been claiming this for years. But recently started claiming that wind and solar are bad because they force nuclear to flex which is too expensive." - one doesnt disprove the other.

French nuclear is extremely flexible https://www.services-rte.com/en/view-data-published-by-rte/g... but it doesn't mean it's free. Solar and wind without proper bess to support them are creating problems for other generators, acting as grid parasites without offering proper firm generation

All of those alternatives fail at debugging, because to this day browser teams don't consider 2D and 3D debugging tools something worthwhile having on developer tooling.

So in some cases you need a native build to try to replicate browser issues, and then being able to plug into RenderDoc, Instruments, PIX,....

Flash had the tools.

XML as a document markup language was neat imvho.

Like, I remember working with DocBook XML[0] and it was fine. And the idea of being able to use different namespaces in a document (think MathML and SVG in XHTML) was neat too.

The problems arose from the fact that it was adopted for everything where it largely didn't make much sense. So people came to hate it because e.g. "a functional language to transform XML into other formats" is neat, but "a functional language written in XML tags" is a terrible idea"[1].

Likewise, "define a configuration in XML" seems a good idea, but "a build system based on XML plus interpolation you're supposed to edit by hand" is not great[2].

So people threw away all of the baby XML with the bathwater, only to keep reinventing the same things over and over, e.g. SOAP+WSDL became a hodgepodge of badly documented REST APIs, swagger yaml definitions and json schemas, plus the actual ad-hoc encoding.

And I mean, it's not like SOAP+WSDL actually worked well either, it was always unreliable. And even the "mix up namespaces" idea didn't work out, cause clients never really parsed more than one thing at a time, so it was pointless (with notable small exceptions). XML-RPC[3] did work, but you still needed to have the application model somewhere else anyway.

Still, JSON has seen just as much abuse as a "serialization" format which ended up abused as configuration, schema definitions, rules language... It's the circle of life.

When I worked for an Australian telco (not Vodafone), some developers on another team had used a very conspicuous mobile phone number in their integration tests, which actually connected to a real SMS service somewhere else in the company. No idea why they would do this. It turned out that this number belonged to a real person, who got absolutely buried in test SMS messages, when the integration tests ran as part of a CI/CD pipeline. The owner raised a complaint to the ombudsman, which led to all kinds of trouble for the developers.

1) He did not win primaries, in significant part also because DNC was heavily against him. The level playing field thing.

2) If he won the primaries, there is still no guarantee that that would have amounted to anything.

First, he might not have won the elections (mainstream media and the whole ruling elites were heavily against him). And even if he won, he might not have been able to do much against the permanent state.

I still think the main cause of Trump's wins is the deep disillusionment of the democratic voters by Obama's failure (inability/unwillingness) to impact a meaningful change.

Claude will load the name and description of each enabled skill into context at startup[0]; the LLM needs to know what it can invoke, after all. It's negligible for a few skills, but a hundred skills will likely have some impact, e.g. deemphasizing other skills by adding noise.

Good eve or good day!

tl;dr

App that only lets red light through the monitor. On Mac, has no CPU impact as it runs through display controller. Slightly different mechanisms on win/linux.

Free to install and test it out if you like it. Nothing remote in it including no telemetry. No accounts needed, totally free.

Tell me what you think (especially if it's late for you).
