I had hoped that this included a way to configure wireguard to get clients from some other place: It would be really nifty if you could configure it to read from LDAP or similar.

It's possible if we believe human nature to be sufficiently malleable. Why can't we all just get along. Perhaps the mountains that need to be moved for such a thing are as daunting as some of the physical laws we try to hurdle instead
"Everyone else is an extremist, but I'm totally sane and justified."

When you look at "Muslim Extremists" around the world, they are inspired by the same kind of events and influences that "Christian Americans" are. Zealot leaders lying to the people to further their own aims, and the people lapping it up because they see "evidence" of oppression from "the outsiders", are indoctrinated to hate "the outsiders", and have their own problems which they're easily led to blame "the outsiders" for. A minority of people fall for it, but enough to make a lot of noise, and it's just enough that the state can seize it as a "mandate from the people" to justify its actions, and everyone else just shrugs and lets it happen.

The more capable you are, the more experience and ability you will have with specialized skills which will result in people that don't have those capabilities to think that your skills are not transferable.

If you find a magic workaround to that, please let us know.
Tangential, but does anyone know of a video game that really gets sailing right? The best I knew of was Valheim, but it is not really great at all, I don’t think tacking works… at all?
You're not wrong, but all this amounts to wishing. At the end of the day, the majority only care about their utility bill. Telling them that X will cost more today but lower the bill for the next generation isn't enticing.

For that, you need forward-thinking politicians who can dance the subtle dance of planning for the future without making the current situation too onerous for the people. The recent election results in the USA is an example of getting that dance wrong.
As a non geologist, what's the significance of the gases starting to come from near-surface fluids rather than deep magma?
Naively, I would be more worried about the magma as that's what comes up in an eruption. But they seem to be worried that the gas source has changed to subsurface fluids?
Part of looking for solutions requires root cause analysis. Which can be "blameless" but there is at some point a need to figure out where the holes are in a system to be able to patch them. Otherwise people will never know if they're paying for a problem to occur (taxes) and then paying to help fix them too (donations + volunteering)!

I think what the original post was referring to was using their home (dynamic IP) network instead of a public VPS/dedicated server. That’s what I used to do — I’d use Cloudflare’s dynamic DNS to keep my home IP up to date and have a dedicated VM running at home that handles Wireguard connections.

Now, I have found it easier to manage devices using Tailscale. Also, Tailscale makes it very easy to manage some very dynamic routing (managing connections to external VPNs that mandate different non-wireguard clients).

Sadly, I’ve hit some issues with using tailscale’s DNS provider (my work configured Mac doesn’t like to have the DNS server changed), so I still have some work to do on that side.
Russian FSB/GRU were very unprofessional on English soil, that’s why they are trying to hire people with criminal backgrounds for many dirty tasks.
I’m also intrigued and waiting for op to elaborate.

Constant that I see:
There is power hierarchy(ies) at all times, even if individuals change (necessary for any kind of coordination).

Some related things:

- to get more power one has to actively pursue it.

- power must be used to preserve the power.

- ones power depends on the power of those below. In a sense, it is a global ponzi scheme.

Disclaimer time: don’t take it too literally. Power comes in many forms (e.g. force, money, formal control of some organization). Hierarchy is not necessarily strict, total or formal, a general, sponsor of the king or his blackmailer, all are near the top - they can do decisions that lonely rural pieful fisherman can not. Exceptions can exist, there probably was occurance when loneley rural fisherman was given an army to command, without any initiative by said fisherman.

These generalities do not mean that nothing changes, there are uncountable many variables. Just, no equality or fairness. There will be challangers, there will be winners and those who lost.
Come on, it's not that complicated. The judge determined that the student has copy/pasted the AI output and submitted that. That's not the same as using AI for research just like you use Google Search for research.

If we are ever in a situation where food security becomes a real issue in the EU - and that’s an almost unfathomably big if - then the first step would be to actually grow food for humans, instead of food for animals that are then exported to China as meat products.

Food security is simply not a relevant concern here.
Hybrids are great. If they had slightly larger battery range (50ish miles), I'd probably go that route myself. More people should probably be choosing them.

But I think that the situation you are posing: quasi regularly driving a trip that is >100 miles with no ability to charge at all is actually pretty uncommon. And even in your case, since you are driving that far (and visiting family), I assume you are staying overnight. You can get a portable lvl 2 charger for a couple hundred bucks that will plug into a dryer plug and charge your vehicle back to full overnight. (admittedly. this assumes the drive is in ideal conditions and you get the full 210 miles; given where you are going and the apparently lack of infrastructure, if this is mountainous at all, then yeah....very well might not make it)

To me, the issue that actually affects more people is that if you need a family sized vehicle, your options are A) pretty limited and B) almost all >$60,000. For a single person, or a childless couple, EVs are pretty accessible, for families, that's much less true.
> Also, he's not getting into Stanford with the B grade that the parents are suing for anyway. You can't even get into Stanford with all A's these days.

None of this is true.

Grades are just one part of the picture.

The folks who think a B is what kept them out of an elite school are just engaging in wishful thinking.

The number of people who get into elite schools like Harvard or Stanford with multiple Bs would surprise you.

Show HN: Create AI Agents with React
For the last couple of months, we've been exploring how to make agentic AI development more approachable for web developers.

Here's what we have, so far:

import { Agent } from "react-agents";
const NoteTaker = () => {
return (
<Agent>
<Prompt>
You are a note-taking assistant that helps organize and summarize information.
</Prompt>
<Memory type="vectorstore" />
</Agent>
)
}

It's somewhat inspired by [Priompt](https://github.com/anysphere/priompt): instead of rendering a user interface, our framework renders a prompt + action interface for AI agents.

The renderer is backed by a stateful agentic runtime loop, with a library of components you can import to add capabilities like TTS, database and social media integration. We want the experience to feel nice and webby like Vercel, but for AI agents.

For those interested in trying it out:

npm install usdk -g
usdk create

We're particularly curious about:
- Does this approach feel natural to React developers? Does it help you transition to agentic AI?
- DX roadblocks we should fix for our next release
- Integrations you'd like us to add (We already have Discord, X, and we're working on Twitter Spaces)
- Different environments this can integrate with (we've tested local, electron, browser, and server)

The source is open and we're actively working on improvements.

Cali: An AI agent for building React Native apps
Cali is an AI agent that helps you build React Native apps. It takes all the utilities and functions of a React Native CLI and exposes them as tools to an LLM.

Thanks to that, an LLM can help you with your React Native app development, without the need to remember commands, spending time troubleshooting errors, and in the future, much more.

Under the hood, it uses Vercel AI SDK and various utilities from React Native Community CLI.
I was talking about Mehmet Öz. I was pointing out that affiliation with a mainstream medical institution appears to be compatible with crackpot beliefs. I don't know anything or have an opinion about Makary but Öz is a crackpot. Crackpot is a slur and I am using it intentionally.
This makes me think I'm gonna start increasing non-perishable reserves for my family.
I can see what you mean by LLMs making the same mistakes. I had that experience with both GPT and Claude, as well.

However, I found that GPT was better able to correct its mistakes while Claude essentially just doubles down and keeps regurgitating permutations of the same mistakes.

I can't tell you how many times I have had Claude spit out something like, "Use the Foobar.ToString() method to convert the value to a string." To which I reply, something like, "Foobar does not have a method 'ToString()'."

Then Claude will say something like, "You are right to point out that Foobar does not have a .ToString method! Try Foobar.ConvertToString()"

At that point, my frustration levels start to rapidly increase. Have you had experiences like that with Claude or DeepSeek? The main difference with GPT is that GPT tends to find me the right answer after a bit of back-and-forth (or at least point me in a better direction).

Historically, Hotspot's escape analysis only resulted in avoided heap allocations (via scalar replacement) if all uses were inlined. I don't think this has changed.

100% agree. Plus it diverts school resources -- in other words, taxpayer money -- to fight the court case, meaning they have less to spend on educating children which is what taxpayer's are funding.

The parents should be on the hook for the school's legal fees.
> This approach to careers fails to take into account that we inherently change as people.

OP very much talks about this in the last few paragraphs, both in that you can't plan exactly and that you need to course correct as things change.

Also, just because it's okay or may happen that you change tracks within your career, it's still a good idea to optimize the track you are currently on and have an idea of where you want to be. Just coasting because you can't possibly plan your life seems like a strictly inferior option.
No affiliation with them but Tailscale is awesome.
Karl Rove's "Reality based community[1]" is still with us:

> The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

Assuming I understand correctly, this is basically the common issue of being unable to be objective when you’ve lived and breathed a subject matter for long enough. The answer is rigorous peer review, I think.
A bicycle is not suitable for the 100km trip to see my parents, and the only country that can operate trains at a satisfactory level is Japan (and maybe China, but I don't trust their data).

So no, its either this or a gas car. Both are real solutions that work, today. Changing society from the bottom up is not.
> For instance, one YouTuber showed that he could get the Thermonator robot dog from Throwflame, which is built on a Go2 platform and is equipped with a flamethrower, to shoot flames at him with a voice command.

What does this device exist for? And why does it need a LLM to function?
But stack allocated objects are not part of the heap and therefore not even part of Garbage Collection? And afaik stack allocation is already done for objects which don't escape a method.
Yes, China still uses a metric fuckton of a coal, but they are decarbonizing: every year, the % of energy generated by coal goes down 1%, and renewables go up 1%.

https://ember-energy.org/countries-and-regions/china/

Just to underline, this is not notional capacity (which inflates solar/wind), but actual power generation. This is all the more impressive because China's total consumption is simultaneously increasing rapidly.
I believe outsourcing can be a symptom of not innovating anymore.

Imagine having to contract out every prototype to a metal working shop — it slows down your ability to iterate because you can’t just go downstairs and try it.

But once you have a design set in stone, outsourcing is cheaper than doing it in-house. These companies specialize in producing parts with economies of scale.

But if you do it for too long, you kind of lose the ability to quickly iterate. Striking a balance is hard.
Sure, use AI for research, just like using the Internet for research.

But don't copy/paste AI generated content in the same way that you don't copy/paste a chapter from a book and pass it off as your own.
Perhaps an argument can be made for things like instrumentation and arrangement, which was often outsourced to students even by the great composers. Writing out the score for a full symphony orchestra is very tedious, and quite repetitive within the conventions of the late 1800s.

But that’s about all I can think of. Just the availability of copy-paste appreciates 90% of that, I would imagine.
Hey PopGreene, initially, `$child_pid` was set, but I refactored to use `$!` throughout instead. It must have been an oversight when I refactored `$child_pid` out, as the script still passes with the `$child_pid` not set. This is because running `wait` without an argument exits successfully. With `$child_pid` no longer set, it should be replaced with `$!`; otherwise, the script does not wait until the child process is terminated.

To clarify, the `wait` is there to avoid zombie processes, which is the script's intention; it should not be `$child_pid` but instead `$!`.

I've amended the post; thank you.
I think perhaps the PoW/PoS solution to byzantine generals (as used by Ethereum, for example) can and does solve the Zooko's triangle problem via things like ENS.

I don't anticipate that end users will be able to ingest or cope with the mental model involved with the correct usage of the system described in TFA.

The reason escape analysis is not "good enough" is why we have project Valhalla trying to bring Value Types into the JVM.

I don't have numbers at hand, but I remember the JDK Expert Group talking about this extensively in the past and why they deferred bringing Value Types for such a long time. They hoped complex enough EA can get rid of indirections and heap allocations but it just wasn't powerful enough, even with all advances throughout the years.

Because of animals we grow far more grain than we need, giving us a substantial amount of necessary slack. If there is a wide spread crop failure, the price of grain rises, causing ranchers to sell breeding stock they can no longer afford to feed. Then humans then eat the grain instead of the animals.
I think this is silly given how much Germany is actively helping a country where the PM of that country has an arrest warrant out for him through the ICC.

Germany is still facilitating an alleged genocide. The only thing that has changed is the profile of the victims. The situation now is even worse, given that practically everyone in the world knows what’s happening but life is going on as normal.
That's a relevant paper, but this is the one which "deepened" the mystery: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52362-x

It asserts:

> L-proteins need not emerge from a D-RNA World

So if more than one amino acid chirality could have emerged, why did we get the one we got and not several?

From the paper in the parent comment:

> Achiral linearly polarized light interacts with chiral objects and their enantiomers differently. An interesting example is a light-driven motor. Linearly polarized light can rotate a gammadion-shaped gold structure embedded in a silica block as a motor.

Imagine you were using some kind of optical tweezers to manipulate chiral molecules. I wonder if there's a reason that such a device would work better if you had a sample which had the same chirality. Suppose so...

If one of your samples made its way to Earth and replicated... Well that would be a reason for earth proteins to be biased in one direction, despite the laws of physics not prescribing such a bias.

It is outrageously expensive.

"Building 101km of cycleways across Christchurch to cost $301m", population 405000, So that is $750 per person, which is about 1% of median earnings for a year. That is paid for mostly by car owners (via petrol tax and car tax) and a bit by home owners.

And the new infrastructure is visibly under-utilised - at best a few % of traffic. You could force people to bike using laws and economics I guess... I would be interested to see a per-trip cost analysis for cyclists.

There is just no way to economically justify bikelanes everywhere - bikes are great for some trips and some demographics.

Can you point me to a report that has a cost/benefit analysis of adding bike lanes for a city? A city that isn't "ideal" for cyclists...
