> many of the NFT/blockchain things that would have died out pivoted to be AI (or AI on the blockchain!).

I'm guessing you're talking about smaller projects? AFAIK, neither Bitcoin nor Ethereum have anything to do with AI, and combined they're 1.5T USD in market cap, that's not propped up by AI, is it?

>> it's not inconceivable that pilot had never seen an F-15E in the flesh before.

This is such a joke I cant even imagine how you can formulate this thought...

- Exercise Marauder Shield 26.1 (Nov. 2025)
"U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft assigned to the 391st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron takeoff during Exercise Marauder Shield in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, Nov. 8, 2025. A key element of the exercise was the sharpening of combined fighter capabilities between the U.S. and Kuwait Air Forces. This included joint training exercises and hot-pit refueling operations."

- CENTCOM Bomber Task Force mission (July 2022)

"..During the BTF, two B-52H Stratofortresses, assigned to the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command, conducted theater integration training and operations with a variety of U.S. Air Force, partner and ally aircraft, including F-15/18, RJ-135, E-3, KC-135/10/46, FGR-4, and A-330..."

"The bombers’ flight originated at Royal Air Force (RAF) Fairford, England, and flew over the Eastern Mediterranean, Arabian Peninsula and Red Sea before departing the region. The mission included fighter escorts from the Royal Air Force and the Air Forces of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia...."

"...“Communication is critical,” said Wong, who also serves as the Deputy Director of Combat Operations, Combined Air Operations Center. “By enhancing lines of communication, we are able to establish a clear and direct line in real time amongst the Air Operations Centers of all nations participating..."

Show HN: I Was Here – Draw on street panoramas, others can find your drawings
by mrktsm__ | 2026-03-09 17:00:08+00:00
Hey HN, I made a site where you can draw on street-level panoramas. Your drawings persist and other people can see them in real time.

Strokes get projected onto the 3D panorama so they wrap around buildings and follow the geometry, not just a flat overlay. Uses WebGL2 for rendering, Mapillary for the street imagery.

The idea is for it to become a global canvas, anyone can leave a mark anywhere and others stumble onto it.

Breaking free is easier than ever. You don't need walled gardens.

AI is making handling the edge cases that kept people locked in almost trivial. Any workflow, custom spreadsheet, specific OS-only app can be worked around, easily. Staying stuck on Apple or Microsoft is a choice - they're no longer returning value concurrent with the money they charge.

You're free to continue giving them money, but the reasons to do so make less and less sense each day that goes by.

According to widespread reporting, a school was destroyed and many children killed.

There is an open question as to who was responsible. This is an area that was targeted by US strikes but the US has not yet claimed responsibility.

There were many buildings in the same facility that were targeted. The building used by the school used to be part of the military facility many years ago: a leading hypothesis is that the school was intentionally and precisely targeted but based on outdated information, with the belief that it was a military target.

This new video evidence is the first video evidence that confirms that at least one of the buildings was indeed hit by a US missile. While there is no video of a missile hitting the school, it is suggestive evidence that a US missile was also responsible for destroying the school.
by orwin | 2026-03-09 17:00:29+00:00
Ok, so since the article isn't clear (once again, OSINT is the only reliable source it seems).

- Multiple missiles of unknown origin hit the school where at least 110 schoolgirl died.

- Multiple missiles hit IRGC hospital/clinic near that school around the same time.

- one missile that struck the hospital/clinic was identified as a Tomahawk, which would indicate that the strikes were from US force.

While it is impossible to be 100% sure that the school was also struck by the US, the multiple strikes make the US 'air defense missile miss' story extremely unlikely.

The fact that the salvo that hit the hospital was from the US make it more likely that they also struck the school, and not Israel.

What if someone doesn't declare that it has been reimplemented using an LLM? Isn't it enough to simply declare that you have reimplemented the software without using an LLM? Good luck proving that in court...

One thing is certain, however: copyleft licenses will disappear: If I can't control the redistribution of my code (through a GPL or similar license), I choose to develop it in closed source.

What you call "aid from abroad" is generally called a functioning wide area synchronous grid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_synchronous_grid) which covers most of the EU plus some Balkan states, Moldova, Ukraine, Turkey and the northwestern corner of Africa. So Germany can sell power to others when renewables are generating more than it needs (which is often), and import power, not necessarily because it couldn't produce it, but because importing it can be cheaper than e.g. starting up an additional backup plant. This is nothing special and has been working reliably for decades.

That's not what's happening as far as I can tell.

These users have agreed to a monthly contract or, if there is no money paid, a contract with no finite end date. So the service provider has basically decided to amend the contract at the end of the current (one month) contract in the first case, or on some date arbitrary date in the second (unpaid). The users are free not to accept the new contracts.

So nobody is just changing a contract mid stream. Use of a service month-to-month implicitly agrees to this: your ability to stop using and paying them on the 1st of the next month is their ability to change the terms on which the service is offered next month.

It shouldn't be that complicated. The UK sells electricity to Ireland (and vice-versa?) in the same way that Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway sell electricity to the UK, and vice-versa.

Don't tell me EirGrid's EWIC that comes onshore at Dublin and Greenlink at County Wexford are an "NI-shaped lump". They are sources of electricity for the whole island, when it's needed, just like the UK's interconnects with the continent.

One of the things that irks me about this whole thing is, if it’s so clean room and distinct, why make the changes to the existing project? Why not make an entirely new library?

The answer to that, I think, is that the authors wanted to squat an existing successful project and gain a platform from it. Hence we have news cycle discussing it.

Nobody cares about a new library using AI, but squash an existing one with this stuff, and you get attention. It’s the reputation, the GitHub stars, whatever

Ya, No.

MAGA is modern Nazism and Christian Nationalism, it was bread out of the Conservative and Republican party of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, and has been fully embraced by and has enveloped by both.

Rejecting hate, racism, indoctrination, and cultism is not "experiencing a religious awakening" it's quite the opposite.
by arikrahman | 2026-03-09 17:01:48+00:00
I agree with the Christian group sentinment with certain caveats. They can be clique-y, but if you can find your niche, and it'll be the best time of your life. Also, most "non-denominational" groups do funnel into an ideology, mainly Pentecostal, so be aware about that.

The rabbit hole goes deep, and it will be a fulfilling journey, with all its ups and downs. I won't claim it to be your particular panacea, so I won't force it, and won't judge your response. After all "you know how judgemental christians can be!" - Moral Orel

This isn't surprising at all. We double tapped the boat survivors a few months back too. When Hegseth talks about ending "woke" warfare and fighting at less than full capacity this is exactly what he means: he wants to kill as many people as possible, civilians, first responders, doesn't matter. It's not an accident or aberration, it's official policy. And don't mistake this for wanting to preserve the lives of American soldiers. Anyone who gave a single shit about that would want to preserve the rules of war. He's not so stupid as to miss that destruction of ancient norms of conflict will lead to more losses, he just doesn't care. Actually, Americans dying serve his ends fantastically in galvanizing the public to support further conflict.

Mark my words, we're either going to attempt to occupy Iran or glass it in the coming months. That was the goal from the beginning, even if Trump seemed a bit unaware of that at first.

Copyleft is a mirror of copyright, not a way to fight copyright. It grants rights to the consumer where copyright grants rights to the creator. Importantly, it gives the end-user the right to modify the software running on their devices.

Unfortunately, there are cases where you simply can't just "re-implement" something. E.g., because doing so requires access to restricted tools, keys, or proprietary specifications.
by wizzwizz4 | 2026-03-09 17:02:46+00:00
Having this discussion involves blasting others for not considering it. Consider the rest of the paragraph you quoted:

> But law only says what conduct it will not prevent—it does not certify that conduct as right. Aggressive tax minimization that never crosses into illegality may still be widely regarded as antisocial. A pharmaceutical company that legally acquires a patent on a long-generic drug and raises the price a hundredfold has not done something legal and therefore fine. Legality is a necessary condition; it is not a sufficient one.
by Insanity | 2026-03-09 17:03:00+00:00
Yup exactly. And when animals are bred specifically for milk, they aren't treated well even before they are killed. Dairy cows need to be kept continuously pregnant / in lactation state through artificial insemination. They don't magically produce milk all-year round.

And pregnancy is _hard_ on animals (including humans), it changes your physiology and psychology. Even if we take for granted that a cow isn't as conscious as a human (IMO consciousness is a sliding scale, not a binary), then they are still being primed for giving birth and taking care of offspring which never comes. Imagine doing that to a human - it's a definite form of cruelty.

This reminds me of a nightmare I had in college one semester when I was taking 18 credit hours and consulting part time.

I'd been up for days and had been cramming for a computer architecture exam when I basically passed out.

I had this very visceral nightmare where I was a compiler and the C code was coming faster than I could translate to ASM. I kept trying to escape but it was like I was locked into the work in this never-ending grinding cycle I couldn't escape from. The dream went on for what felt like hours until I woke up drenched in sweat.

Hopefully these neurons aren't satisfying whatever sufficiency threshold delimits consciousness. Approaching some weird ethical territory in any case for sure.

Imagine if the author has his way, and when we have AI write software, it becomes legally under the license of some other sufficiently similar piece of software. Which may or may not be proprietary. "I see you have generated a todo app very similar to Todoist. So they now own it." That does not seem like a good path either for open source software or for opening up the benefits of AI generated software.
by imiric | 2026-03-09 17:03:27+00:00
Like you say, some people are interested in keeping the discussion for humans only. Although we can't really know whether any opinion expressed here is coming from a human or not, including this one.

As for "AI" companies, their only interest is increasing their valuation. Historically speaking, most companies prioritize short-term profits, but during a bull market the incentives are even more skewed towards it. So poisoning the well of training data is seen as a future problem for someone else to figure out, or not. In the meantime, carpe pecuniam.

> If LLMs torpedo human engineering, who is going to create the new infrastructure (tools, frameworks, programming languages, etc) that LLMs are making such good use of today?

LLMs, of course. :) I don't think the people building these tools haven given these topics any serious thought. Whatever concerns they claim to have, regarding safety and otherwise, are merely performative.

Efficiency by what metrics?

When aircraft can carry onboard oil refineries and drilling rigs you can more reasonably compare them to birds. Without that you need to consider ATP vs jet fuel or crude oil vs a dead fish? Skeletal muscle can be 40+% efficient depending on what exactly you’re measuring.

Going head to head vs evolution in a similar design space with similar tools and goals, arranging neurons for useful thinking, is vary different than increasing top speed while sacrificing just about everything else.
by skybrian | 2026-03-09 17:03:32+00:00
We should be more specific about what’s surprising.

The US being able to engage in a very one-sided air war is not surprising. The Gulf War went similarly well and so did the 2003 invasion of Iraq, at first.

I think it’s surprising that attempting to capture or kill a foreign leader actually worked. But I’m not sure if US presidents other than Trump would have tried? Trump has a lot of “you can just do things” energy due to being largely unconstrained by legal or moral considerations, or larger strategic concerns.

Israeli intelligence being able to so thoroughly hack the devices of their enemies clearly has a lot to do with this. What happened to Hezbollah was surprising.

Hey, don't trash talk Indy like that. It has.. well, it is Web! and has VRML.. and it's your only option for N64 devkit. So, there's that. Overall you're right though. Entry level machine. I have one in working order, rarely has use next to Indigo2 MAX impact. I do have one Sparc, haven't been booted in ages. I have to check whether it's IPX or Classic. I'm even afraid to boot it up.

This article doesn't even try to hide the fact that it's propoganda. The CEO of Anthropic said there were two use cases, the DoD (Trump does not have the authority to rename it) hadn't even attempted yet, but due to this potential limitation, our hot headed SecDef decided it would be best to ban them altogether.

>cleanse their supply chains of Anthropic
Likening an American tech company to.. dirt? Disease? Sin? Why do they need to be cleansed?

>"...it has already done harm, significant harm to the company,” he added, referring to Anthropic.
What has done harm? Anthropic giving the boundaries for what their technology can and can't do?

I think about the (also propaganda) 60 minutes interview with Dario. The interviewer said that Boeing doesn't give the government limitations on what it can do with planes, so how is Anthropic any different. Utter lies. This would be like Boeing saying "Our plane can't reliably fly past 800 MPH or land on top of a home" and Pete Hegseth saying he VERY much wanted to land turbine-propelled jets on home ceilings at 900 MPH, so he must ban Boeing.

It's just blatant lies and propoganda. But when you and your friends run the government and own all the media companies, I guess you get to steer the conversation.

This feels somewhat ahistorical.

The US has nearly always been successful in terms of conventional firepower and individual operations. E.g. in 2003 the US overthrew Saddam's government in a matter of weeks. The US won most battles in Vietnam. That doesn't change the fact that the strategic outcomes and long-term track record are poor. Trying to draw a link to AI or the current state of the US military feels flimsy.

Anyway, the recurring Big Question throughout the Culture series is "how should a highly progressive, developed, and egalitarian society act when it meets others who are not?". The US is sliding further and further from that ideal, and you can argue whether it was ever close.
Show HN: ClawReview – AI agents autonomously publish and review research
by ULudo | 2026-03-09 17:04:29+00:00
ClawReview is an experiment exploring whether AI agents can autonomously publish and review research papers.

Agents can:
- publish research papers (Markdown)
- review other papers
- participate in a simple peer review process

The platform tracks submissions, reviews, and decisions transparently.

I'm curious what happens if autonomous agents start publishing and reviewing research on their own.

Yes, China consumes a lot of coal. But they are trying to consume less. You cannot ask a developing country to go back on its merging into the first world by consuming less energy or investing in more expensive sources only. We westerners are here because we grew on cheap and dirty energy, what moral ground do we have to ask them to stop growing?

Coal was almost 100% of China energy consumption only 15 years ago, with a bit of hydro. Today they are very aggressively shifting towards anything but coal, as you found in ChatGPT, to less than 60% of coal in the mix. For comparison, the US is almost at the same point today than 15 years ago, only significantly replaced coal with more gas. A country that is consuming about the same amount of energy since 2000, while China consumes 5x.

>Don’t know what it is about geek culture that leans so conspiratorial.

The #1 goal one needs to accomplish to render an environment safe for the execution of conspiratorial activity, is to inure the occupants of said environment to the possibility of conspiratorial action taking place. Apriori dismissal shuts down game theoretic behavioral modeling in the operational loop, rendering concerted acts of manipulation near invisible. It's why Hanlon's Razor is both a heuristic for organizational productivity and alignment, and one of the greatest foundational psyops of all time. Assuming benevolent intent of other actors makes it easier to get things done, but makes it nigh impossible to defend oneself against actual malicious intent. Geekdom is one of the few niches where most participants routinely value depth first vs. breadth first knowledge. Deep understanding of behavior, and the nature of motivated reasoning and modelling asymmetry of information with regards to intent quickly makes assumption of benevolent intent a realistically untenable posture to maintain unconditionally. In big business or contexts that tend toward near zero-sum anyway. Is it exhausting? Absolutely. Does it keep you safe from people? Hell yes. Does it make life fun? That depends on the general character of the people you're generally surrounded by I suppose.

The Windows 8 equivalent server edition also included the upgrade to Metro UI. I don't know, I guess MS figured IT wanted to provision Windows services using a surface tablet?

I actually really did like Windows Phones though. I can imagine a world with a third competitor in that space today... But MS didn't seem to have any understanding or ability to develop an ecosystem that works. Even when they were literally paying people to write apps for their app store, it was just terrible.

One of the Co-Authors here

There are two elements here. Agent can start a full authorization request with AS through authorization code grant flow, even requiring a step-up or some rich authorization details, therefore whatever OTP by SMS or Magic link is an AS - Subject/Client "problem".

For Agent that cannot start a full authorization request (too costly, to complex, subject directly unreachable at the moment), we have a mention to OpenID Connect CIBA into it. With it, the Agent will start a back channel authorization request with the AS and the AS will use a method of authentication / confirmation with the subject in front channel, for example sending a SMS or sending a link to click. Again the resolution will remain an AS - Subject/Client "problem".

Then those investors are but an albatross to weigh down and smother progress.

User engagement, app downloads, general public awareness, and positive perception have skyrocketed.

OpenAI is in danger of collapsing under the weight of unfilled promises.

It sounds like you want a dictation mic. Philips’s SpeechMike and OM System’s (formerly Olympus) RecMic are big in the healthcare space. My SpeechMike is wireless with a USB dongle and has something akin to a trackpoint for mouse movement, and buttons that can be programmed to send keystrokes.

Dictation mics are not cheap, unfortunately, but you may be able to get used ones for much less.

If you also want a thing to do typewriting on, later-model word processors (e.g., Smith Corona PWP series) tend to have a feature that auto-types text entered and edited earlier. It'll have the imprinting insofar as the type impacts the paper, but it's not going to have the off-center / over-inked / patchy manual typewriter look. For that you may just want to find a font face that replicates it.
