You’ve done the same thing you accuse them of doing. You also “somehow assumed the worst interpretation you could come up with, just so you could have an imaginary "win”.” They asked "Are you suggesting that genocide is morally righteous?" — it wasn’t a statement that I could read into. Unlike the combination of statements they replied too.

>There's people in the world who believe it's justified. (russia’s invasion and genocide in Ukraine)

>Even if somehow you could prove that stance as being morally incorrect …

Implies that proof is needed to call Ukrainian genocide morally incorrect. If that is not what you meant, then I would be curious to also know what was meant, not because Ukraine-Russia, my emotions don't have a dog in that fight and I won't be jumping into it--simply for better understanding of the phrasing/wording, not a big deal thou tbh.

I, personally, read their response as being confused to the implications and posing questions asking for clarification.

The ending part about being comfortable sharing that position, I would take as an emotional bit that should be discarded if following the rules of the site to participate in good faith (not assuming the worst) due to their stated closeness to the situation. (I also don’t agree with the wording of the sentence before the part you say is loaded, I think it was a poor choice of words; not to the point of using antagonism as a response though)

Maybe you have your own closeness to something that would make your sounding off on genocide more palpable (somehow)..but was not stated, so them asking for clarification was not at all assuming the worst. Maybe you also used a poor choice of words, but instead of saying so when someone questioned it you went into this “gotcha ‘win’” thing you accuse them of.

It. is. as. tiring. as. things. the. “left”. does. Both "sides" simply do it in their own ways.

Holy cannoli! Good shortcuts: thanks.
It’s just not that big of a mystery. It’s not an excuse; it’s just true. Also, they’re not especially selling reliability as much as they’re selling small geo-distributed deployments.
I get this but I think if people can give GitHub a pass for shitting the bed every two weeks maybe Fly should get a bit of goodwill here. I am not affiliated with Fly at all but I do think that people should temper their expectations when even mega corp can’t get it right

I guess the secret is to be the incumbent with no suitable replacement. Then you can be complete garbage in terms of reliability and everyone will just hand wave away your poor ops story
plagiarism - by definition - is copying someone else’s work.

the easier definition is “did YOU write this?” if answer is no - you plagiarised it and should be punished to the full extent.
Yeah. It's fairly likely the ads link to a URL with a recognizable pattern. Failing that, if an ad is reproducible we can iterate with a site owner to detect the DOM modification a few different ways.

Turn your selfies into professional profile pics with AI
Hey HN,

I’m a solo developer and recently launched aiselfi.es, a tool that turns your selfies into professional-looking photos in just a few clicks.

Here’s how it works: You upload a couple of selfies, and the AI (powered by the latest Flux model) generates a variety of profile pictures you can use for your social media accounts, dating apps, or even your professional LinkedIn profile.

The idea is to save you time and effort by using AI to make your photos look like they were taken by a pro.

I built this for two reasons:

- Save time on photo shoots or expensive professional photos – Now anyone can get high-quality profile pictures without needing fancy equipment or photographers.
- Personalized AI output – The AI understands different facial expressions and styles, creating a diverse set of images that represent who you are in different ways. Whether you want something more professional, casual, or even creative, you’ll have options to choose from.

I’d love feedback on how to improve the service or any features you’d want to see in the future. Let me know if you give it a try!

Cheers,
Jonathan
Ask HN: How are you using LLMs?
I like to ask every so often to see what new uses there are.

Here's what I do daily:

Writing Assistance: I use LLMs to help me write emails, reports, and even creative writing pieces. I give it an outline, and it helps me generate text. I edit the LLM output.

Coding Assistance: to help me write batch and PowerShell scripts.

Summarization: to summarize long articles or documents, saving me time.

Language Translation: I write in English, and it translates to Spanish.

Recipe Ideas: I use them to come up with recipe ideas based on the ingredients I have at home.

How do you use them?

This is the wrong side of the API to make C++20 dependently typed. Concepts let the compiler report errors at the instantiation site of a template, but they don't do anything to let the compiler report errors with the template definition itself (again before instantiation time).

To be clear this distinction is not unique to dependent types, either. Most languages with some form of generics or polymorphism check the definition of the generic function/type/etc against the constraints, so the compiler can report errors before it ever sees any instantiations. This just also happens to be a prerequisite to consider something "dependently typed."

If they were recording all the necessary information there in the first place, anyway. The level of detail to replay or audit is usually higher than whats needed for direct operation, especially if some things go out through remote systems/accounts and back.
I might be off here, but this seems like the right place to ask: don't most SQL replacements focus heavily on querying while largely overlooking insertion and updating?

I get why querying gets more attention, insertions are usually straightforward and don’t need much simplification. Updates, on the other hand, can be a bit trickier since they often involve modifying data derived from complex queries. These tools seem geared toward data analysis and not data generation, which is ok: is nice focusing on a single problem and solving it "right".

But! for projects where a single person handles data creation, analysis, and management, it feels cumbersome to use one set of tools for querying ("R" in CRUD) and another for creation, updates, and deletions ("C," "U," and "D"). I think a "SQL replacement" or approach covering all of CRUD could be interesting for projects of any scale. Something that I could pick instead of shopping for ORMs and/or lightweight query generators.

Bootcampers can absolutely learn the fundamentals.

I'd put that on the material being taught, how it's organized, and being presented.

Why? Teaching adults is very different than teaching children, and universities mostly teach how to teach children as a degree program.

In terms of teaching adults, there are ways that have existed for hundreds if not a few thousand years at least: apprenticeship, learning with and beside someone who knows how.

Pro-tip for all bootcampers: run thru something like javascript30.com first.
I went from company F to company V, used Toad at F all the time. I was told at V that Toad was not approved nor money for it. So I bought my own copy. Within 6 months all of the DBA team owned copies of Toad, a few months later V bought it for Developers and paid back all the DBA team for their copies.

Remember, constructive and destructive superposition of waves?

Setting up a tabletop optics experiments is mostly optimizing alignment between different components (lasers, lenses and optical detectors etc), so you get the maximum power or the right kind of superposition. Alignment is linear (get the right distance between two components) or rotational (right angle). So you can build these linear/rotational mounts that will move/rotate your components precisely based on computer commands.

You can probably buy off the shelf robotics components off Alibaba that are better and cheaper at the same time. But I think distributed manufacturing is way cooler.
I'd suggest reading 'Mandate for Leadership' (better known as 'Project 2025') to get an ida of the intended scope of executive branch power under the incoming administration - specifically chapter 2 by Russ Vought, who has just been nominated back to his old job overseeing the Office of Management & Budget.

Of course these aspirations will be challenged in court, but given recent jurisprudence I wouldn't bet on those challenges succeeding.

From a purely supply chain perspective, how should we be navigating this as a hardware startup?

I also read today that a NATO official "urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly."

How should we be thinking about the next 4 years? Sourcing from US suppliers exclusively?

We've been lucky I guess that up to this point we just had to think about the tech. But now the supply chain for our product is suddenly as complex a problem set...
It's not a compliance rule that requires different keypairs. It's just that GitHub doesn't support using the same keypair for different GitHub users.

If you have a GitHub Enterprise user for internal code development, that GitHub Enterprise user is restricted from interacting outside of the GitHub Enterprise/
If you also need to contribute to OSS projects as part of your job, you have to use a different GitHub user, and therefore a different keypair.
The tech is impressive and the pricing is attractive which is why we use them. I just wish there was less black magic.

I didn't say "it was sovereign" (all by itself). I referred to "its sovereignty", in terms of who it belonged to (both in 1991 and now). The two contexts are entirely different.

what it is, is an occupied territory of ukraine fully controlled by russia with russian military on it

And yet -- still entirely under Ukrainian sovereignty. It seems you're a bit unclear as to what the term means. It doesn't mean "military control".

Point mean: just because the Russian currently military sits on the Crimea, doesn't mean it's "part of Russia".

And no, it's not just a symbolic difference. It's a hugely, hugely important one.

my question was rhetorical.

Indeed, it looks like you're shooting into the wind here. I'll have to leave to explore these topics on your own.
Ironically with this and lambda you could make a serverless sqlite by mapping pages to objects, using http range reads to read the db and lambda to translate queries to the writes in the appropriate pages via cas. Prior to this it would require a server to handle concurrent writers, making the whole thing a nonstarter for “serverless”.

Too bad performance would be terrible without a caching layer (ebs).
S3 has supported SHA-256 as a checksum algo since 2022. You can calculate the hash locally and then specify that hash in the PutObject call. S3 will calculate the hash and compare it with the hash in the PutObject call and reject the Put if they differ. The hash and algo are then stored in the object's metadata. You simply also use the SHA-256 hash as the key for the object.

"Fixable" in computer hardware has for many years meant that the computer can be disassembled without having to melt glue and that memory, network card, and disk can be replaced without having to replace the motherboard.
GPU and CPU are a bit special. In desktop system I would argue that GPU and CPU must be replaceable separately from the motherboard. In space constrained systems like laptops I can see the need to solder those two to the motherboard so when while not ideal it is tolerable. But disk and memory must be replaceable on their own or the computer is simply not repairable.
Replacing a screen, hinges and alike should be possible but I can see that parts may not be as readily available.
I have replaced a screen on my HP Zbook and it was just a matter of popping off the bezel, removing 4 screws and unplugging the connector, then doing the same in reverse with the new screen - 15 min job. That is repairable.
Would be fascinated to see your data over a period of months.

Application up time is flakey, but what was worse were fly deploys failing for no clear reason. Sometimes layers would just hang and eventually fail for no particular reason; I'd run the same command an hour or two later without any changes and it would just work as expected.

I'd love to make a monitoring service to deploy a basic app (i.e. run the fly deploy command) every 5 minutes and see how often those deploys fail or hang. I'd guess ~5% inexplicably fail, which is frustrating unless you've got a lot of spare time.

That “infamous graph” is mostly pop nonsense. Simply google productivity graph versus income debunk economists.

The problem is bad Econ like that latch onto certain untrained brains like quack cures to an antivaxxer, because they reinforce unfounded beliefs (beliefs formed by eating too much of stuff like this).

The actual items under consideration are far less spectacular or supporting the dearth of conspiracies, so the truth doesn’t spread as fast. It’s not so shiny or conspiracy reinforcing.
The biggest difference is GitHub in your infrastructure is (nearly always) internal. Fly in your infrastructure is external. Users generally don't see when you have issues with GitHub, but they do generally see when you have issues with Fly.

That's the core difference.

> Also, if you'll remember through the partisan haze of polarized thinking, it used to be considered a good and reasonable thing to not want war or unmeasured foreign intervention, and it was a widely held belief by the progressive side of U.S politics. Now however, the Republicans get derided for holding more to that view, or just accused of automatically being friends of Putin, which, as the other comment states, is a gross bit of mendacity.

Trump's "bromance" with Putin during his last term, coupled with extensive evidence of corruption, makes it reasonable to question whether he might prioritize Putin's interests over U.S. strategic goals. Historically, ties to foreign powers would disqualify a candidate from public office, yet the Republican Party seems largely willing to overlook these concerns. Even Joseph McCarthy, notorious for his paranoia about foreign influence, would likely see Trump as a textbook case — and for once, he wouldn’t be wrong.

> I'd be willing to bet money, to anyone who offered, that during the Trump presidency, the U.S will emphatically not cease support to Ukraine, because, certain posturing and a small few fringe nuts aside, the Republicans do know that Russia is the real aggressor and has to be shown a strong hand for the sake of keeping American reliability credible on the world stage. Even Trump knows this perfectly well.

As for the claim that Trump understands the importance of standing firm against Russia: his past behavior doesn't inspire confidence. I'd estimate at least a 30% chance that, under another Trump presidency, the U.S. could abruptly cut off support for Ukraine. Why? Because decisions wouldn't hinge on strategic considerations — they’d depend on Trump’s whims. Possible scenarios include:

• He feels like it.

• Putin flatters or bribes him.

• Ukraine refuses to pay him off when asked.

This pattern of impulsiveness defined his previous term, so why assume it would be any different now?
