Here is the company list who received FDA Warning Letters with the Subject "False & Misleading Claims/Misbranded" related to their GLP-1s. Looks like they are all licensed 503b or 503a type compounding places. Will be interesting if they go after the sketchy Chinese peptide "research" sellers next.

I have the Lenovo X1 and I'm very happy with it, though obviously that's in a very different price category than the Yoga, Surface, or Macbook Neo.

On the other hand, more money doesn't always mean better computer. I had a Dell XPS 9570 at a previous gig that had a lot of issues: coil whine, bad camera placement, terrible thermals, etc.

And people weeded out by this kind of questions are probably rightfully so. I for one could not ever work with someone that says "my answer is correct, period.". Part of the answer and the discussions made by mature individuals must ask for feedback, incorporate it in your design, be open to compromises sometimes but also to die on a hill when it makes sense. And in an interview context, you ought to show the hiring manager all these faces.

Then, there are hiring managers that suck and you might be discarded because you didn't follow the script. Sure, but that's a bullet you dodged.

Fine-tuned Qwen models run surprisingly well on NVIDIA Jetson hardware. We've deployed several 7B variants for edge AI tasks where latency matters more than raw accuracy – think industrial inspection, retail analytics where you can't rely on cloud connectivity. The key is LoRA fine-tuning keeps the model small enough to fit in unified memory while still hitting production-grade inference speeds. Biggest surprise was power efficiency; a Jetson Orin can run continuous inference at under 15W while a cloud round-trip burns way more energy at scale.

We have a gatekeeper already in the funding source - they do the work of vetting researchers prior to funding the work.

Piggy back this system so that the funding source publishes the papers itself, and researchers can only publish their papers that are directly funded.

This system requires the cooperation of an organization to build the publishing infrastructure, but this could be a lowest capable bidder, and less drag on the system overall.

Regarding "why care." It's where a shockingly large portion of voters and adults get their "news."

• 43% of US 18-29 year olds regularly get news on TikTok

• Half of US adults get news on TikTok, 1 in 5 US "regularly" do so

• This is 2 points less than Twitter and two points more than Facebook

Yesterday I test ran Qwen3.5-35B-A3B on my MBP M3 Pro with 36GB via LM Studio and OpenCode. I didn’t have it write code but instead use Rodney (thanks for making it btw!) to take screenshots and write documentation using them. Overall I was pretty impressed at how well it handled the harness and completed the task locally. In the past I would’ve had Haiku do this, but I might switch to doing it locally from now on.
Show HN: I spent 1000 hours building my dream personal finance dashboard
by novaheic | 2026-03-04 16:50:10+00:00
Over the years, I've tried pretty much every personal finance tool out there. Loved some, hated others, but in the end, I always came back to using my trusty google sheet.

I needed something that combined YNAB's envelope budgeting with what a multi-asset portfolio tracker does. For me, your budget and your investments are linked. Obviously, never invest more than you can afford to lose - but how are you supposed to know how much that is for you without understanding your spending habits?

So I built Finzen

Finzen = budgeting + portfolio tracking + rich visual reports and stats

Currently in free open beta.

Built with vue, vite, tailwind, typescript

AES-256 encrypted data storage, EU servers, No Bank Sync

finzen.org
app.finzen.org
docs.finzen.org

I've been working on this since last July. Feels good to finally have something I can share! Feedback would be awesome. This is the first project I've ever actually finished!!!

We are talking about banking and pseudo-banking apps with the following typical features:

* A wallet for QR-code based payments backed by a national standard for their content and by the money in your bank account;

* A software implementation of an NFC-enabled credit or debit card, or sometimes with a magnetic strip emulation in addition to that;

* An interface to transfer money to other bank accounts in the same country or abroad, or to convert between local and foreign currency if you have a foreign currency bank account;

* A way to pay common utility bills - in some cases, by scanning the QR code on the bill;

* A way to manage banking and investment accounts - e.g., if you want an extra savings account in Japanese yen with a new debit card attached to it, tap a few times and it's there;

* A chat with bank representatives - for example, to provide supporting documents by photographing them, without ever visiting the bank;

* A second factor (as in 2FA) to approve money transfers initiated from the desktop web browser, meeting the bank standards where TOTP can't meet them (e.g., due to the legal requirement to say what transaction the code is for).

The real problem is that many banks are deprecating their browser-based interfaces and are turning app-only.

Do you not notice the circularity of your reasoning here?

Also I didn't say incompetent, I said "not very". More competent researchers make journal rep only a very small factor, and it is not via the "high rep = more trustworthy" direction (which is the bad heuristic), it is "pay-to-publish journals = not trustworthy" (better heuristic).

Once you have ruled out a publication being in a trash journal, reputation is only a very minor factor in consideration, and methodological and substantive issues are what matter.
by westurner | 2026-03-04 16:50:48+00:00
My mistake. That's actually a quote of myself, from an also tangential comment re:
"Transformer is a holographic associative memory" (2025) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43029899 .. https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-43029899

There's more to that argument though.

Is quantum logic more appropriate for universal function approximation than LLMs (self-attention,), which must not do better than next word prediction unless asked (due to copyright)?

If quantum probabilistic logic is appropriate for all physical things, then quantum probabilistic logic is probably better at simulating physical things.

If LLMs, like [classical Fourier] convolution, are an approximation and they don't do quantum logic, then they cannot be sufficient at simulating physical things.

But we won't know until we have enough coherent qubits and we determine how to quantum embed these wave states. (And I have some notes on this; involving stars in rectangular lattices and nitrogenated lignin and solitons.)

Or, it's possible to reason about what will be possible given sufficient QC to host an artificial neural network. How to quantum embed a trained LLM into qubit registers (or qubit storage) and use programmable/reconfigurable quantum circuits to lookup embeddings and do only feed-forward better than convolution?

But QFT and IQFT solve the discrete inverse logarithm problem.

There's probably a place for quantum statistical mechanics in LLMs. Probably also counterfactuals including Constructor Theory counterfactuals.

I recently launched with just the US HTS schedule. I've now added the full 2026 Canadian Customs Tariff — 22,461 records, all 23 preferential rate columns, nightly updates.
The Canada timing is not accidental. The US-Canada tariff situation means a lot of teams are suddenly building things that need both schedules simultaneously. The UST column (United States Tariff — the CUSMA/USMCA preferential rate for US-origin goods) is the one most people are asking about right now.
What the API does:

Full US HTS (32,295 records) and Canada CCT (22,461 records), normalized to a stable JSON schema
Nightly change detection — diff endpoint shows exactly what changed and when
Webhook push on change (Tier 3) so you don't poll
Pipeline safety: aborts if incoming record count drops below threshold, so a partial upstream response never overwrites live data
Single API key, same auth for both datasets

The problem I'm solving: USITC has a public API but the schema shifts without notice. The CBSA publishes the Canadian schedule as a zipped Access database. Neither gives you change history. Both require you to maintain your own pipeline.
Endpoints follow the same pattern for both datasets: GET /api/hts/{code} and GET /api/ca/{code}, same schema shape, same auth.
Pricing: $199/month (US only), $299/month (US + Canada), $399/month (US + Canada + webhooks). 30-day free trial, no credit card.
Docs: https://tradefacts.io/docs.html
Happy to get into the pipeline architecture, the CBSA Access database extraction, or the HTS schema inconsistencies that make this annoying to maintain yourself.

Can I doubt your claim? I have had such terrible luck with AI coding on <400B models. Not to mention, I imagine your codebase is tiny. Or you are working for some company that isnt keeping track of your productivity.

I am trying super hard to use cheap models, and outside SOTA models, they have been more trouble than they are worth.

Ironically, this article is "over simplifying" the problem.

In the FAANGs I've worked at, engineers who come from scrappy companies and implement hacks (Like the example of emailing spreadsheets around) undermine the business and will cost the productivity of thousands of people.

However, at the startups I've worked at, the folks from big companies that try to implement a super complex thing (e.g. exotic databases, overly ambitious infrastructure) The results are equally catastrophic for a company attempting to bootstrap when the complexity is so far removed from their core business.

What makes an experienced engineer is recognizing both states, understanding what works where and making the right trade-offs, usually from experience you can't fake your way through. I've seen a lot of projects that took 10-20 engineers 18 months to so we could sell something that landed a $100M contract with a customer. You see that enough times and you won't bias as hard against complexity. But of course it's situation dependent, like anything.

I guess if anything well employed people of this generation can teach their kids is that it’s not worth using your talents for companies or goals that are misaligned with your values. By the way, you have to teach the kid values too (it’s a packaged deal kind of thing).

Whoever has been working thus far have been … well, let’s just say the cohort thus fair has been willing to sacrifice integrity for a number of material reasons, unfortunately.

It's a reputation economy. Like review sites. They start off truthful, and then as time goes on incentives shift to bad actors to subvert it. Or they just sell out their reputation.

80% of the population does not and will never do that level of deep dive on apps

same discussion for any form of technology be it TVs or changing their car's oil

the deliberate app-store-ification of all things computer is also designed to keep people from asking those questions -- just download in and install, pleb.

it's why the Zoomers can't email attachments or change file types: all of the computers they grew up with were designed so they never had to understand what happens under the hood.

It's macOS. Yes, absolutely positively more than enough for web browsing plus a whole lot more, simultaneously.

If you do serious development, you might need to think about it.

I do serious development with local applications on my 16GB M2, and my current usage about 6GB. It goes higher when I run LLMs or VMs, and of course Xcode. Aside from iOS dev, I do not use an IDE.

There are not many Christian zionists in decision making positions in the US. You’ve named 1 person and how much power does Cruz actually have. The powerful are non Christian zionists. That much is blatantly obvious. Kushner, Witkoff, Lutnick, the entourage around Epstein, most of the cabinet of the current (non Christian president), most of the cabinet of the prior (catholic so non dispensationalist) former president. The media itself, which is used to manufacture consent is filled with, owned by and answers to non Christian zionists. Get a clue.

Got it.

Since I primarily used ChatGPT, I picked up a bunch of prompts from people sharing it in order to optimize for better results. I don't know if this is relevant anymore as I think they've fixed quite a bit and now you can customize tone and warmth directly.

My prompts were more on avoiding filler, be more direct etc, no emojis etc.

> This is an adult conversation, please think before you type absurdities like this.
If (A) there was enough enforcement to actually catch people that speed, and (B) the punishment was rehabilitative (you have to clean up the roadway you were endangering people's lives on and take a class to retest for your license) there would be far fewer speeders.

Red light cameras are illegal in my state, there isn’t enough money to vastly increase traffic enforcement. Penalties would have to be dialed up to 11 for people to modify their behavior, and I don’t seen that happening. Even if speeding tickets were $1,000 or 40 hours of community service, people would still speed.

It would be great if people would drive safely, but they don’t, so that’s why I think redesigning roads is the only real way to change driving behavior.

So is television. So are books. Vulnerable people shouldn't have unfettered access to things that can lead to dangerous feedback loops and losing their grasp on reality.

People who are vulnerable to this type of thing need caretakers, or to be institutionalized. These aren't just average, every day random people getting taken out by AIs, they have existing, extreme mental illness. They need to have their entire routine curated and managed, preventing them from interacting with things that can result in dangerous outcomes. Anything that can trigger obsessive behaviors, paranoid delusions, etc.

They're not just fragile, they're unable to effectively engage with reality on their own. Sometimes the right medication and behavioral training gets them to a point where they can have limited independence, but often times, they need a lifetime of supervision.

Telenovelas, brand names, celebrities, specific food items, a word - AI is just the latest thing in a world full of phenomena that can utterly consume their reality.

Gavalas seems to have had a psychotic break, was likely susceptible to schizophrenia, or had other conditions, and spiraled out. AI is just a convenient target for lawyers taking advantage of the grieving parents, who want an explanation for what happened that doesn't involve them not recognizing their son's mental breakdown and intervening, or to confront being powerless despite everything they did to intervene.

Sometimes bad things happen. To good people, too.

If he'd used Bic pens to write his plans for mass shootings, should Bic be held responsible? What if he used Microsoft Word to write his suicide note? If he googled things that in context, painted a picture of planning mass murder and suicide, should Google be held accountable for not notifying authorities? Why should the use of AI tools be any different?

Google should not be surveilling users and making judgments about legality or ethicality or morality. They shouldn't be intervening without specific warrants and legal oversight by proper authorities within the constraints of due process.

Google isn't responsible for this guy's death because he spiraled out while using Gemini. We don't want Google, or any other AI platform, to take that responsibility or to engage in the necessary invasive surveillance in order to accomplish that. That's absurd and far more evil than the tragedy of one man dying by suicide and using AI through the process.

You don't want Google or OpenAI making mental health diagnoses, judgments about your state of mind, character, or agency, and initiating actions with legal consequences. You don't want Claude or ChatGPT initiating a 5150, or triggering a welfare check, because they decided something is off about the way you're prompting, and they feel legally obligated to go that far because they want to avoid liability.

I hope this case gets tossed, but also that those parents find some sort of peace, it's a terrible situation all around.

A meta comment and really don't want to distract from the product but as a Spanish speaker, the word "libre" for open source projects really grids my gears. It's specially bad when used with "libre" before the subject (like LibreOffice or Libre Solar). It sounds a bit like Brad Pitt saying "bonjourno" in Inglourious Basterds.

Libre does mean free as in freedom, but it also means available and released from prison.

> I'm more inclined to believe that this case is getting amplified in MSM because it fits an agenda.

I mean tech in general has been negatively covered in the media since 2015 due to latent agendas of (a) supposed revenue loss due to existence of Google/FB etc and (b) to align neutral moderation stances towards a preferred viewpoint most suitable to the political party in question.

There is a solution, however, anyone hoping to roleplay with models submits an identity verification, an escrow amount, and a recorded statement acknowledging their risky use of the model. However, I assume the market for this is not insignificant, and therefore, companies hope to avoid putting in such requirements. OpenAI has been moving in that direction as seen during the 4o debacle.

Ah, look, another smug sneer that ignores the evidence I presented, and makes another circular argument (i.e. that because academics look at rep, this is justified, even though I provided evidence disputing this).

I know what journals are better / not. But reputation only is helpful in letting you ignore trash journals, once you are out of trash land, rep is just not a very meaningful factor, and you have to focus on methodology and substance.

You're out of date; Apple is soldering the memory to the CPU directly. I mean are you complaining that you can't swap your L2 cache or replace the math coprocessor? The history of computing is one of the CPU absorbing every single discrete component over time. Apple is at a point where the CPU has to absorb the RAM to maintain their performance lead. I'm happy I get a super fast computer.

But was it really, though?

Don't get me wrong - I've long shared your condemnations, even as an American! Although I wouldn't say it's "too cowardly" - rather we're quite disenfranchised and the cognitive dissonance tendency is for Americans to see the government as something apart from themselves. So it's more like that I can't practically do much about these criminals acting in my name.

But I mean, the global community gave a Nobel peace prize to Obama for not being Bush. I'd say the relationships got patched up pretty quickly there. Global domestic surveillance? So nice for the US to take the heat for FVEY et al.

If anything starting a war in Iran is back to business as usual, with seeming most country ('s leadership) giving a tacit green light.

The code review bottleneck is even worse on edge devices. We ship Jetson-based systems running local AI agents, and the 'cheap code' problem compounds when you factor in ARM-specific bugs and thermal constraints that don't show up in testing. Learned the hard way: test coverage on x86 means nothing when your agent hits OOM on a Xavier at 3AM because someone let the LLM generate unbounded batch sizes.

Argh gawd I hate this!

There are plenty of reasons that a department within a company will prefer spreadsheets. Software is not the answer to everything and also this is the same problem you get when Microsoft introduces those pesky 'Power App' developers etc or previously the Sharepoint 'web parts' etc....essentially someone who kind of feels they are the 'owner' of some information then decides to formalise the process in their own little way.

Now you have a person wasting a bit of time making their little tool but you've also got people complaining that someone's now essentially taken control of it etc. At a former employer our procurement team used spreadsheets to track basically everything but importantly everything on our PCBs - every single component and their suppliers and prices etc (various factories around China usually). This would have been a horrible thing to try and formalise in a web app just because of how often they were all changing their own conventions etc (often suppliers changing what information they gave to them, too). It would have been a wild goose chase to formalise it and more than the trouble it would be worth.
