Incorrect points, there should be just first and the rest is just fluff.

Try taking a photo of somebody with your phone. Usage will definitely look like you are snapping a picture, nobody walks around with phones straight up. The result is, when you take pics with phone, most often its obvious. When you insult people by not asking, they see it and react negatively.

When you point to people with smart glasses, nobody knows do they and that seems to be the point. Or is it beeping and blinking some led to make everybody aware? I don't think so.

Also, we live in society where smart doorbell for which it shouldn't be technically possible to upload any pics to cloud due to not having subscription still did that, and from major manufacturer. Security is a moot point, quadruple that for facebook / meta who are consistent assholes regarding breaking security and privacy to scoop any possible data points for further advertising. The slaps on wrist they receive is just cost of doing business.

I was looking at the accounts that have starred the OpenClaw project. Many seem relatively old, but I couldn't find more than a handful that seemed to be publicly active in any sense (e.g. making PRs or commits). Same story with the forks. A metric shit-ton ton of forks, no branches or commits or any sign of activity on the forks.

Compared that to the people who have been starring my projects, and every single one of them had some sort of activity on record.

--edit--

Checked again now, seems more recent accounts have some activity. But still, lots of accounts like these

I know a guy who knows a guy who might need a day off haha

And they are gonna give a pizza party if I get them a day off. I am gonna share a slice with ya too.

Doing a github worldwide outage by magical quantum entanglement for a slice of pizza? I think I would take that deal! xD.

> No community I know.

Everybody in sales in every software company in the world would be part of that community, I think. Some of the devs, too. Software was always marketed (and discussed with normal people) as something that could automate error-prone tasks, thereby eliminating the inevitable mistakes humans make when performing those tasks. Would Excel be the cornerstone of so many businesses if it sometimes gave the wrong value as a sum of a column?

That marketing (and the fact that, indeed, Excel can sum anything users throw at it without making mistakes) worked; now we have 3 generations of users who believe that once a computer "gets it" (ie. the correct software is installed and properly configured), it will perform a task given to it correctly forever. The fact that it's almost true (true in the absence of bugs and no changes to the setup, no updates, etc.) doesn't help - that preceding parenthetical is hard to understand. It is often omitted when a developer talks to a non-developer.

We've always had software that wasn't as reliable as Excel - speech recognition and OCR come to mind. But in those cases, the errors are plainly visible - they cannot be "confidently wrong". Now we have LLMs that can be confidently wrong, and a vast number of users trained to think that software is either always right or, when it's wrong, it's immediately noticeable.

I don't think developers should bear the whole responsibility here - I think marketing had a much larger role in shaping users' minds. However, devs not clearly communicating the risks of bugs to users (for fear of scaring potential customers or out of laziness) over decades makes us partly responsible as well.

Comment is a bit of an aside, but it's a shame what happened to JSONFormatter.org. The UI was preferable to alternatives for me, it ranked highly in Google so I could just search "JSON formatter" and access it, etc.

Now the site freezes 50% of the time when loading it on my Mac and when it doesn't freeze, there's a 5 second period of waiting before I can paste any input. Not to mention ads taking up 40% of the screen. The classic tech cycle of life.

I have kids, and I know hundreds of parents across large portions of the country. None of them have these issues.

A person driving down a private road and threatening to call CPS because they can't see the parent is not rare?

And the parent poster didn't just say someone threatened to call the cops, they said that they would be jailed in two very specific circumstances where jailing him would have led to very negative consequences for the arresting parties in anything beyond the immediate term.

Many people are stupid, and do stupid things like calling the cops for no valid reason at all. Those people are annoying and can be ignored, and I would not be remotely surprised by any pseudo-anonymous person doing something stupid. What would surprise me is the cops actually responding to the call and making the decisions that the other poster claimed, with a few exceptions where I would be much less surprised.

Since he only responds to questions with tangential rants, we'll never know for sure what happened.

How often does anyone care about using data on a different system than it was created on?

These days, any C struct you built on amd64 will work identically on arm64. There really aren't any other architectures that matter.

And yes, managing concurrent access to shared resources requires care and cooperation. That has always been true, and has nothing specific to do with mmap.

This strike isn't even close to Hamas-levels of planning.

If anything Hamas got the US to make an unforced mistake in a game of checkers three moves out.

According to the IDF's analysis of captured Hamas documents, step 2 was:

"Get Israel to commit so many war crimes that we actually have the moral high ground. Then, regional partners will be forced to support us again, and our recruitment numbers go back up. Do everything we can to ensure the conflict expands across borders to secure future funding and alliances."

The crazy thing is the IDF knew this and published the report. Only after acknowledging that it was their only losing move did they start committing a bunch of war crimes!

Hamas' public support, funding and recruitment levels were rapidly approaching zero until the Palestinian genocide started. Now they're part of a regional conflict and arguably still hold the moral high ground, depending on how you tally things up. That was fantasy-land for them before the strikes.

It's almost like the IDF's funding is contingent on Hamas' continued existence, and, barring that, perpetual regional conflict.

It's too bad that civilians always lose in these conflicts, and right-wing criminals almost always win.

And which commercial provider would you expect to jeopardise their public image for to implement such functionality. Grok comes close I guess, but X have not come out of it looking great.

Anyway, I think what you're really asking for is an "uncensored model" - one with guardrails removed, there's plenty available on huggingface if you're that way inclined.

So... it helps you understand that's the main selling point of the monitors is the range of brightness? XDR stands for "Extreme Dynamic Range" - not sure how that's misleading or why sticking "LCD" into the title helps anyone figure out what the features of the panel are as most LCDs have awful range.

Using OLED directly in names works because OLED panels inherently have common features like blacks, contrast, and lack of blooming over other panel types. They can have other aspects added in (e.g. tandem OLED or the like) but by saying it's OLED you include these base things without needing a unique term.

Saying other panels are LCD tells you next to nothing as there are so many types which can be paired in so many ways which can all have completely different characteristics. It's not a conspiracy to hide the truth that people must only want OLED displays, it's an attempt to say something rather than nothing in the name of the monitor so you know what it actually is beyond "not an OLED".

If it were about trying to hide something the subhead wouldn't say mini-LED.

Thanks for clarifying! I guess the default for most users is going to be to use the router / auto switcher which is fine since most people won't change the default.

Just noting that I'm not against differentiation in products, but it gets very confusing for users when there's too many options (in the case of the consumer ChatGPT at least this is still more limited than in pre-GPT 5 days). The issue is that there's differentiation at what I pay monthly (free vs plus vs pro) and also at the model layer - which essentially becomes this matrix of different options / limits per model (and we're not even getting into capabilities).

For someone who uses codex as well, there are 5 models there when I use /model (on Plus plan, spark is only available for Pro plan users), limits also tied to my same consumer ChatGPT plan.

I imagine the model differentiation is only going to get worse as well since with more fine tuned use cases, there will be many different models (ie health care answers, etc.) - is it really on the user to figure out what to use? The only saving grace is that it's not as bad as Intel or AMD cpu naming schemes / cloud provider instance naming, but that's a very low bar.

> You do

I really want to say: "You are absolutely right"

But here is a problem I am facing personally (numbers are hypothetical).

I get a review request 10-15/day by 4 teammates, who are generating code by prompting, and I am doing same, so you can guess we might have ~20 PRs/day to review. now each PR is roughly updating 5-6 files and 10-15 lines in each.

So you can estimate that, I am looking at around 50-60 files, but I can't keep the context of the whole file because change I am looking is somewhere in the middle, 3 lines here, 5 lines there and another 4 lines at the end.

How am I supposed to review all these?

In the UK 80-90 was quite normal 25 years ago, and off peak you'd find the outside lane of the M40 doing over 90 a fair amount

It's not today as there's far more traffic. It's rare to have the opportunity outside of a few areas (south of Bristol on the M5, north of Kendal on the M6 etc). When I first learned to drive I'd do M62 to M5 in well under an hour, today it's about 20 minutes longer.

Funny, most of what you described sums up the Alpha architecture. 8KB pages + huge pages and, initially, only word-addressable memory, no byte access.

(Of course, it only took a few years for this to be rectified with the byte-word extension, which became required by ~all "real software" that supported Alpha)

It's also one of the only architectures Windows NT supported that didn't have 4KB pages, along with Itanium. I've wondered how (or if?) it handled programs that expect 4KB pages, especially in the x86 translation subsystem.

I was just under the impression that the cards with the best benefits were somewhat harder to get. I do understand that credit card companies make money on interest and late fees, so they should find consumers to be attractive so long as they ultimately pay the bill/interest.

I guess the question is whether they can distinguish between people who are going to carry a balance but ultimately pay and people who are a true default/bankruptcy risk.

True 100 %

A lot of strong engineers move into EM roles expecting deeper technical impact, but end up spending most of their time on coordination, hiring, performance reviews, and cross-team alignment. That’s valuable work — just very different from building systems.
More orgs should invest in strong IC tracks (Staff/Principal) so people can lead technically without managing people. Not everyone who’s good at engineering wants to optimize calendars and org charts.

This is something I appreciate about Apple/iOS (and by extent, macOS as well). They still provide a "neutral" calendar app & mail app (and even reminders can sync with other services). Apple offers email, but they don't really try to convince you to use it or force you into it (at least, they didn't used to). It's just "whatever service you use, we don't care but here's some nice native apps to use with those services"

Android OOTB, especially on Pixels, just sort of assumes you are using Google for everything. There's no "Calendar" there's only Google calendar, there's no Mail app there's only Gmail, etc.

iOS feels like an agnostic OS, however locked down, Android still feels purely like a Google product meant to push Google services.

I find that communicating with AIs is enhanced by using Mermaid diagrams, which the AIs love to write and can convey quite a lot of complexity in an easily consumable format. It's really helpful to have a nice diagram to study rather than a wall of text. (AIs really love you to give you a wall of text ;) )

Mermaid is useful because it's text that can be checked in and versioned as usual.

??? GPU vs CPU workloads are completely different. Comparing Panther Lake iGPU vs Ryzen iGPU is not going to tell you much about how high density server CPU performance will work out.

The Panther Lake vs Ryzen laptop performance comparisons show that Pather Lake does well, basically trading against top end Ryzen AI laptop chips in both absolute performance, and performance per watt.
by jfindley | 2026-03-03 20:48:55+00:00
Do note though that AIUI these are all E-cores, have poor single-threaded performance and won't support things like AVX512. That is going to skew your performance testing a lot. Some workloads will be fine, but for many users that are actually USING the hardware they buy this is likely to be a problem.

If that's you then the GraniteRapids AP platform that launched previously to this can hit similar numbers of threads (256 for the 6980P). There are a couple of caveats to this though - firstly that there are "only" 128 physical cores and if you're using VMs you probably don't want to share a physical core across VMs, secondly that it has a 500W TDP and retails north of $17000, if you can even find one for sale.

Overall once you're really comparing like to like, especially when you start trying to have 100+GbE networking and so on, it gets a lot harder to beat cloud providers - yes they have a nice fat markup but they're also paying a lot less for the hardware than you will be.

Most of the time when I see takes like this it's because the org has all these fast, modern CPUs for applications that get barely any real load, and the machines are mostly sitting idle on networks that can never handle 1/100th of the traffic the machine is capable of delivering. Solving that is largely a non-technical problem not a "cloud is bad" problem.

That is an unrealistic goal.

Likely the actual goal, as dictated by Israel and the Jewish Lobby in the US, is to destabilise Iran long term in a sort of Syria situation, so they cannot threaten Israeli hegemony in the region.

Remember even a non Islamic Iran is still a threat to Israeli power if it remains unified and intact.

The first gulf war was 1990. The US has been at war with various factions of the Middle East more or less continuously for thirty five years. The current president specifically campaigned on no new foreign wars and repeatedly tried to bully the Nobel committee into awarding him a peace prize before accepting a second hand one from another world leader and a sham one from FIFA of all things.

What makes anyone think that this latest attack is the "end game" vs just the latest expensive chapter?

I've embedded large JSON blobs in CSVs. The format is fine and quite robust, just never open it in Excel unless you are prepared for your data to be silently broken, but that's Excel being abhorrent, not CSV: Libreoffice and Google Sheets don't do that.

The JSON in CSVs does piss off the Jetbrains table viewer sometimes though, it will randomly decide to stop parsing a 50k line CSV at halfway through the JSON of line 300ish even though that JSON is no different from other JSON it parsed just fine.

But python reads and writes them fine, as does whatever SQL engine I'm touching, as does other tools.

The only way I can think of to do this completely anonymously (at least for the government and social media) is for you to buy a card in cash that has a little code on it. You'd need your ID to buy it, and you'd put your code into your operating system and things that demand age verification can ask the OS whether or not you're over 18. Alternatively, you can give the service your code to verify your age, but that would be less convenient and lead to a larger tracking footprint, so it likely wouldn't be used unless necessary
Show HN: Train a GPT from scratch in the browser – Karpathy's microGPT
by jayyvk | 2026-03-03 20:50:28+00:00
Faithful reimplementation of Karpathy's microGPT that runs entirely in a Web Worker. You pick a dataset (YC startups, baby names, dinosaurs, or upload your own), configure the architecture, and watch the loss curve drop in real-time as it trains. Then generate text from your model. Everything runs client-side - back propagation, attention, the whole training loop. The fun technical constraint was keeping the UI responsive while doing matrix math in JavaScript. Built it as a node-based editor so you can see the data flow from dataset → tokenizer → config → training → generation.

Something is seriously wrong with your machine or one of the persistent apps you are running.

Backup, reset to factory. Try using it, if it’s fixed, try restoring. If it’s not fixed it’s defective in some way.

If it’s broken only after you restore, manually import your data and install apps one at a time making sure nothing breaks before installing the next.
Ask HN: What prompt do you use to get Claude to consistently render LaTeX?
by TobyTheCamel | 2026-03-03 20:51:12+00:00
I currently have subscriptions to both Claude and ChatGPT. I generally prefer the former but find I can't fully commit to it for my maths-heavy workload as it often struggles to correctly render LaTeX.

An example of this failed rendering is here [1]. If I use Claude for all of my work, I come across issues like this or worse at least once a day. Instead, I find it easier just to ask any maths questions to ChatGPT which seems to have a much more robust system for outputting LaTeX.

I would love to merge my subscriptions though, so I'm here to ask whether anyone has a system prompt that has been effective in guiding Claude towards producing valid LaTeX. I've tried a few prompts myself but struggled to find anything that it consistently followed.

I agree, fire the CEO. But I have a slightly different take that doesn't involve AI. What if we indeed get rid of the entire C-suite?

Even better still: why are companies and orgs hierarchical? Why is there always a - for lack of a better word - dictator in charge? AI CEO is still an AI dictator.

We are permitted to vote, but democracy in everyday life, that's a bridge too far, chaos, riots in the streets, cats and dogs living together.

Maybe there are too many 'temporary embarrassed billionaires' here on HN, but you have more in common with the average bum in the street than any of 'that' class.

It's time that we as a people extend democracy towards the workplace and operate like a cooperation, working on the base of consensus. This is not a new idea, but it won't give you a chance to become a billionaire, and that's exactly the point.

Almost nobody thinks like that, what are we 5 year olds? Especially when most left leaning folks in western world has hard sympathies with hamas which are just left and right hand of the same regime (maybe not US left which is far from left elsewhere).

Did US population en masse lost sleep during past decades till now and some future due to sweatshops full of kids making their jeans or iphones or Christmas toys for their kids in highly undemocratic regimes?

Somewhat OT but it remains remarkable how the knee-jerk down-vote-button brigade feels the need to vote down a totally unrelated post on getting a refund for a Microsoft Home Server [1] and one on the relation between hardware + low-level systems software capabilities versus applications software just because I happened to voice an opinion outside of their desired narrative. Grow up, people. If your opinions are so weakly founded that you feel the need to 'punish' those who dare to voice dissent you should get some more soundly founded ones.
