"Don't look at your Kubernetes configuration, trust our AI to do it well" sounds like a psyop straight out of GCP or AWS to charge you four times what they need to before telling you "no, you absolutely need that $500 charge for your 1RPS static website, yes yes absolutely."
How often do collisions with pedestrians occur at 50 km/h? If the pedestrian doesn't literally jump in front of the car from an somewhere he's visually obscured, there's usually time to stomp on the brakes. I've done it multiple times with cyclists riding in the wrong direction on the bicycle lane, over crosswalks where they should be dismounting, or just plain "jaycycling".

We clearly have different views on what's quiet and what's not. If I'm on my terrace I can hear cars when they drive past, but not inside my home and it being a 30 zone it doesn't bother me. Were you forced to live next to seven lanes of traffic, where I assume the limit is much higher than 30-50 km/h?

I don't have much to say about tire particles and whatnot. Are you just as much against microplastics in food and cosmetics?

If you've never gotten a license, it surprises me you're so against something you've never tried. I tried cycling for about a year and a half. I learned I don't like sweating profusely in summer, getting rained on in spring or fall, or riding on snow in winter. I can drive to work and drop my child off at kindergarten in 15 minutes, with a bicycle and a trailer it would take me more than 45 if the weather is good. I don't need to hurry home after grocery shopping and I only need to shop once every week or two, as opposed to two to three times a week if I'm limited to what I can fit into a backpack, and I don't need to drink tap water since I can fit a few crates of mineral water in my trunk. The risk of getting my car stolen is lower than my bicycle getting stolen, which has happened in the past. You're absolutely right, it's not rocket science. Foe me the choice is clear.

I still don't know what you mean by trips per hour.

Preaching "racism and xenophobia bad" and then proudly talking about how much you hate everyone of a specific nationality is unfortunately par for the course for modern armchair political activists like Linus. If they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

I want to say I hope he steps down at some point and lets someone more sane manage the project because his tantrums are clearly starting to have serious negative effects on it, but I know better than to not assume whoever would replace him would be even worse.
IPv6 is actually working right now for many so I wouldn't call it a failure. Use of IPv6 has been increasing over time and who really cares how fast that is happening? Some ISPs, nodes or networks may never use it - but that's OK; really as long as major cell phone networks are using it, it's not going away.

Windows XP is another example of something that lingered far longer than it should have. It's not a failure just because everyone didn't immediately start using it.
> the Ming policy was never 100% effective and mostly just resulted in a lot of smuggling and piracy

I don't think this can really be a complete description of the situation. You can't stop smuggling as a phenomenon, because you can't oversee everything that happens everywhere. So, as much as you might wish it would, the law doesn't really apply to random smugglers.

But by the time you're one of the 100 richest men in China, the law certainly does apply to you. A ban on trade that's "less than 100% effective" is more than enough to stop someone from doing so much trade that they become personally more powerful than the court, as long as "less than 100%" still means "more than 0%".
In what way is that a compliance reason? On what earth are you putting pressure by removing kudos from a list?

That's pretty happy path for one, and for two, how exactly are you doing it? Not by holding down a red button on your phone and talking into it, that's for sure.

For three, add one more subtle requirement to the task, and now you're reading awk manpages and trial-and-erroring perl oneliners.

Chronocentrism
Technically trait objects aren't entirely a thing at all. They're a concept that only makes sense in the concept of a pointer (references are safe pointers, `Box`es are smart pointers). You can refer to something as a trait object but the trait of the object is a property of the pointer and not the object. So if you have some struct that implements a trait you can cast a pointer to that struct to a pointer to a trait object, but that struct never stops being the struct, a trait object is just a different way of referring to the struct.
I take tools like these as an inspiration. All of us have at least some trivial tasks that can be automated. In the past, automating them might have been a hassle, but with LLMs, that’s no longer the case. I, for one, have a “scripts” folder with dozens of one-off mini-apps to handle specific tasks, and this folder keeps growing every day.

I cannot control how much data I consume. Especially now with more and more websites being so big. And no, not every device supports uBlock Origin. Pi-Hole / Adguard only does so much these days.

iOS / Mac updates are humongous. 100+MB per webview-wrapper app. And they aren't sharable. iOS 18.1 today was 8GB. How many Apple devices do you have?

Every website these days starts to automatically play videos, with no way of disabling that (looking at you Fandom, and until recently, Ars Technica).

All video is consumed in a streaming manner. At least when you watched a movie over cable it didn't consume bandwidth. But when you watch the same movie on YouTube TV it is counting towards your 'limits'.

And you cannot set proper limits, as they calculate your usage once per day. Go over, $10 per 50GB on Cox. And your limit is 1280GB, even on their 2Gbit connection.

So unlike with your car where you have a pretty decent view on when it's empty, and you can fill up at almost the same price as the previous tank, here you're screwed twice, once because you can't measure, and second, because the price is outrageous.

For a 2Gbit connection, you can actually go through your limit in ...

2Gbit = 250MB / sec.
1280GB = 1310720MB.
1310720 / 250 = 5242.88 seconds, or 1 hour, 27 minutes and 22.88 seconds.

Insane. We need more competition.
The Russian government could compel pretty much anyone in Russia to do anything with minimal actual cost to it.

Governments in US and other democratic states would be risking a lot more if if other government agencies, courts, media etc. figure that out. Therefore as long as they are somewhat rational they are less likely to engage in something like that.
> It's trivial to install these and is safer across the board for everyone, cops included.

I dont know about that. My block in NYC in a school zone had a lot of people speeding along so the city installed a speed camera. It didn't seem to do much because people instantly learned it was there, slowed down, then gas it hard the next block. And that is the story with every speed camera: people learn where they are, do the brake pedal dance, then gas it.

I honestly believe they do close to nothing except make the contractors wealthy. As for the camera on my block: the city got smart and took it down less than two years after it went up. In its place they installed all-way stop signs on two consecutive corners. A low tech solution involving a few sheet metal signs bolted to a metal pole. They work better but there are still jackasses who gas it after the second sign. Jerks going to be jerks.
I don't mean that capitalism only produces wins, I mean that companies are incentivised to produce things that consumers will want (the "win-win" the GP mentioned).
I think reading is necessary but insufficient for wisdom.

Reading lets you acquire the experiences that you personally cannot live out in your own life. It does provide leverage in that way.

However syntopical reading isn’t sufficient to produce good work. Mortimer Adler himself tried doing it (I believe the Syntopicon was a product of syntopical reading) but those works never did well and were soon forgotten.

Books encode canonical knowledge and this works in established domains but in a domains without much existing knowledge, taking action in perturbing the world actually produces more useful knowledge.

This is why in these spaces it’s important to test ideas in reality and learn from them, rather than only constructing mental models. (We should strive to do both instead of the just latter)

Action often produces more information than reading alone. Having ideas is often the easy part — executing on them is the hard part. If Mortimer Adler actually had some gauge on the market before pursuing the very ambitious multi year effort of producing the Synopticon, he might have produced something noteworthy (which he did with the much smaller experiment “How to read a book.”

To me, wisdom isn’t about thinking rightly (which is what rationalists hold) but about being able to make good decisions with good judgment.
All this because the new fry guy doesn't wash his hands.

Legalese is about specificity.
How does being less precise assist understanding with specificity?

I cannot, in a contract, just refer to a street address. For reasons of specificity, I must state where the survey marker corner is located -exactly- and then detail how many feet from that in a direction, etc. These long descriptions ensure that there are no misunderstandings later.

The verbiage of these contracts have grown more specific through use. People, or companies, wiggle out of things and new contract language is invented to prevent such wiggle-room in the future.

How would one go about accomplishing a 'dumbing down' of a contract, without losing the anti-wiggle specificity?

Also, I really like that word. Say it with me, please: 'specificity.' Neat.
How much of the supercharger growth was stuff that was already in progress or done prior to the layoffs? How big would the growth have been without the layoffs? They did hire some amount of the team back.

Also Tesla is way behind on V4 (high voltage) superchargers. There are only dispensers installed. Zero actual V4 charging cabinets. Which means Cybertruck owners still can't get full speed at Tesla superchargers. If things continue as they are Tesla will let their monopoly on reliable high speed charging slip through their fingers.

Lastly, Musk was very clear there is no next gen affordable car coming other than robotaxi.
That explains why they have been unable to implement CSV export of transactions all these years.
I could see this being extremely valuable to law enforcement if they're planning on making an arrest. They're a lot more likely to not get shot by the suspect if they know they're asleep. It's also the sort of thing that's not germane to making their case against the suspect--it's tactically relevant but strategically irrelevant. So we need something more than the 4th amendment here? That's actually a question I'm not a lawyer and don't know what this actually implies. Naively, it seems to me that if information is inadmissible in making their case, law enforcement should have no access to it and, probably, neither should anyone else.
> My problem is with people who want it both ways.

Why? Why would you dislike a solution which neatly solves a false dilemma?

You may subjectively believe that sarcasm is over-used (and in fact I personally agree with you), but why are you put-out that people who like it have found a way to encode the non-verbal cues of speech into text to increase fidelity in communication?

EDIT: the problem _specifically_ with sarcasm and clarity is that it appears to say the opposite of what it actually says. You say in an earlier comment that "Sometimes people make a joke that not everyone is going to get. That’s fine." - but that is in fact _not_ fine when the possible outcome is someone believing that you hold a view entirely opposed to what you actually do. I hope I don't need to paint you a picture.
I have no idea if you're correct about this or not. With 8 billion people in the world, and a significant number of those people working as "intelligent agents," how would you perceive the difference?
I think hand writing is still very important, but for entirely personal (and maybe selfish) reasons. One of the biggest motivators for me to learn new language scripts has been the joy in producing letters in a foreign script using my own hand. Handwriting has a deep link within the mind to a number of important language areas, and is probably wired through completely different pathways than keyboard typing. Not to say one is better than the other, ultimately it’s all about communication. But just like some people prefer to draw by hand, I still prefer taking notes and writing my thoughts down by hand first.
> innocent citizens

Do you not think that at least 50% of all people in Russia would vote for Putin or his affiliates (even if the elections weren't falsified)? Therefore most people in Russia are certainly not innocent.
I think we have different definitions of meaningful code, most of these are pulling in an NPM package which practically completes the given task by itself. For example the "YAML to JSON converter" uses js-yaml... which parses YAML and outputs a Javascript object that can be trivially serialized to JSON. The core of that "project" is literally two lines of code after importing that library.

const jsonObj = jsyaml.load(yamlText);
const jsonText = JSON.stringify(jsonObj, null, 2);

Don't get me wrong, if you want to convert YAML to JSON then using a battle tested library is the way to do it, but Claude doesn't deserve a round of applause for stating the blaringly obvious.
> I dont see how it is different than the city buying concrete from a religious vendor.

It is not expected that the religious vendor will try to teach religion to every person who uses the structure built by the concrete the government pays for in your example.

Cubicles were invented in the 1960s to provide a superior and more private alternative to open plan (bullpen) offices of the 1950s [1].

The silly part of all this is the people arguing for open plan offices in the present/recent past as a “superior” and more humanizing and collaborative environment when cubicles were literally invented as a more humane option.

So it's 2024, and the plan is that we're going to wait another few years for BSP to be finished before vscode support is anything more than a toy?

If their goal is adoption, that is just _awful_ pathfinding. Probably harkens the beginning of a death spiral for the project, if I'm to make a prediction.

Show HN: Karl – A virtual friend you can text
Hi HN! We're excited to introduce "Karl" – a virtual friend you can text to share what's on your mind.

We created Karl because we found it incredibly helpful to have a sounding board and someone I could talk to anytime, day or night.

Karl isn't meant to replace real friendships but rather to act as a mediator and an additional point of contact. He remembers important details you share and can connect the dots between past events and current decisions.

Anyone can message Karl by texting +1 (844) 619-7958
. There’s no separate app or website – just text to start a conversation. The first ten messages are free, after which Karl charges 10 per month to continue (and to help cover Karl's dining habits).

On the backend, we primarily use 4o (OpenAI) to handle message flow and identify important memories. All the code for LLM calls, context management, and tool use is custom-built, as we found frameworks like Langchain to be too much overhead.

Moving forward, we plan to run a fine-tuned 4o-mini model and experiment with other providers. Texting is powered by Twilio (and FYI – getting a non-sandbox phone number is quite a process), and we use Postgres (via Supabase) to store conversations and context. The entire service runs on Render.

We’re also working on new features like proactive check-ins and smarter memory handling.

Karl is currently in early alpha. We'd love feedback from the HN community at hello@heykarl.xyz. Please say hi, and we hope you have some great conversations!
You don't need any CO2. Oxygen bottle, co2 scrubber, pure oxygen purge prior to diving... and you've got yourself a rebreather.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather
The "AI" is still just as much hit-or-miss with code as it is writing a paragraph about anything. It doesn't really know what it's doing, it's guessing an output that will make the user happy. I wouldn't trust it with anything important, life life support systems or airplanes, etc. but I'm sure with the race to the bottom that we're in, we'll get to that point someday soon.
This isn't about Go. This is about a language construct (&& and ||) that I would argue is terrible and should never be used. Its mainly just sugar, and in my experience code heavy on these is harder to read and write. Couple that with truthiness and it's even worse.
I found this humorous, the article literally says this:

"Answer: We go through every place that 4-byte IPv4 addresses appear, and allow 16-byte IPv6 addresses in the same place."

As though this is any easier than just introducing IPv6 as a new, parallel protocol that does not have to interoperate (because IPv4 still works). I'm sure he can update his software and systems but what about the thousands of other programs and billions of other machines.
There’s so many sub varieties of the standards. You’re making a gross oversimplification that they’re “the same”. Compare intel vs Qualcomm modems that were released on iPhones. They were “the same” standard but the Qualcomm modems were notably faster in testing. Maybe they’re all at parity these days, but it’s pretty hard to do a fair comparison.
Musk did announce there's no such thing coming. Only robotaxi.
What evidence would you like?

You're posting on a thread that hyperlinks to a list of code and Claude Artifacts for pet-projects that can make thousands a month with some low-effort PPC and an AdWords embed, and some mid-size projects that can be anything from grounds to a promotion at a programming role - to the MVP for a PMF-stage startup.

What, specifically, would pivot your pre-conceived notions?
Plugins encode their state as a combination of automation parameter values managed by the DAW and opaque binary blobs for everything else.

In the general case of professional-grade use, you can't assume that two versions of the same plugin will handle any of those in compatible ways. In some cases they might, but there's nothing that guarantees it and many known cases where it doesn't hold.

And speaking to your broader point of "there has to be a way to translate between the two" -- this is likely true in a formal sense, but not a practical one. If it was 2030 and your job was to revive some dead AAX plugin and open its projects in some new one that you were writing for AUv4, you could do a whole bunch of bespoke debugging and forensics to make it happen. But there's no solution for the general case, as applies to a converter like this.
Training a million models per day to save customers of sizes from DDoS attacks
YAML to JSON literally has `script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-yaml/4.1.0/js-yaml...`. I don't see how went anywhere judging from examples.
What I would expect is a lot of "non-idiomatic" Go code from LLMs (but eventually functional code iff the LLM is driven by a competent developer), as it appears scripting languages like Python, SQL, Shell, etc are their forte.

My experience with Python and Cursor could've been better though. For example when making ORM classes (boilerplate code by definition) for sqlalchemy, the assistant proposed a change that included a new instantiation of a declarative base, practically dividing the metadata in two and therefore causing dependency problems between tables/classes. I had to stop for at least 20 minutes to find out where the problem was as the (one n a half LoC) change was hidden in one of the files. Those are the kind of weird bugs I've seen LLMs commit in non-trivial applications, stupid 'n small but hard to find.

But what do I know really. I consider myself a skeptic, but LLMs continue to surprise me everyday.
