Yeah I can see all of it, but the problem with me is that I bet I would have watched it a few seconds and clicked off out of boredom, never suspecting they were AI. I really want to claim I would have figured it out instantly, but I can't. If I were a regular consumer I think I'd notice.

They mention right up front they're "powered by AI" but to me that implies they had help with article writing. I would not immediately assume from that statement that the actual newsreaders themselves were AI.

Show HN: 10k porkbun auction domains analyzed by AI for your next big idea
Hi guys,

I just published a list with 10k domains from Porkbun auction list domains, and got them analyzed with AI to generate tags and a recommendation on what to do with it.

Made it available on a spreadsheet for only 9.99 to get access to it: https://dub.sh/pb-auction-data

If I see there is demand for it, will make an actual product out of it, with better table and filters, so that the list is always updated and maybe add email notifications when a domain of your interest is listed.
$25/month is “basically free”?
Correct, the car can function without the infotainment system but you lose conveniences like climate control, the backup camera, and sometimes even audio, which is weird because you get no feedback from the turn signals. It’s not great but not an immediately pulling over kinda thing.

I would like to think that the heat of public perception is increasing but I'm not sure that's true. Seems like civil asset forfieture was a much more hot button issue 2-4yr ago and has kind of waned since. Maybe, hopefully, you're right.
What brand/model do you have?
For those that have to bounce between Mac and Linux for work/personal reasons, I cannot recommend Kitty terminal enough.

The main thing that's a big of a pain is you'll probably want to set up a scrollback pager (I use neovim as mine but vim works too) so you easily search the terminal output and copy/paste from it.

I use

# https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719#issuecomment-...

scrollback_pager nvim -u ~/.config/kitty/kitty-scrollback-pager.vimrc -c "silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer -"

and the scrollback pager vimrc:

```
set nonumber nolist showtabline=0 foldcolumn=0"
set clipboard+=unnamedplus
autocmd TermOpen * normal G
map # ^
map q :qa!<CR>
"silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer -

Agile is like communism. Lots of people like to hang external ideas to it. Some valid, some not.

Points, t-shirt sizes, figmas, etc... these are _tools_ and _processes_. Why the hell are you complaining about it when it says very clearly that you should focus on people and interactions?
I happen to believe you get "quality software" by giving devs "ownership" of a piece of the software.

And by ownership I mean they come back to it on every revision of the software. They add the new features, they fix its bugs ... they can burn it to the ground if they like for reasons of technical debt (or because they feel like it).

"But what if that engineer leaves and no one else understands the code?" I hear you ask.

So what. We're smart. Put someone smart on it and they'll have it figured out soon enough. Chesterton’s Fence be damned, if the new dev wants to burn it down, let them.

You have to accept some risk in this field. But also you have to allow other's the responsibility. And in my experience, they'll rise to the occasion.

The groups I was in that claimed to be Agile rotated devs around the project like, um, cogs.
A sort of joke is that many anime episodes are a 30 minute ad for the soundtrack CD. If you look at the anime by itself the numbers very clearly make no sense, but shows are financed by integrated production companies that make their money on side merchandise.
Western config takes like 2 seconds. And out of the box it's pretty, easy to use and fast.

Also let's be real. All the default terminals are great and fast enough for typical use cases, the only ones that really care about GPU accelerated terminals are the ones that use editors in the terminal, so they're going to be customizing everything anyway.

People think they want to use the Minority Report computer interface because it looks cool and advanced but they don't put the least amount of thought into it and realize it's terribly impractical. Our arms would get tired very quickly. A mouse resting on a table isn't further from ideal just because it was invented earlier.

Fooling people with the promises of AI is pretty simple. People are easy to fool. They like shiny objects.
> you were definitely under-served by your school

Sure. It’s why the G&T programmes helped. By the eighth grade the writing assignments were there. But at the elementary level, a lot of work is put into ensuring reading comprehension. If you have that the lessons are terrible.
I like it too, but was always a problem for me:

Customer is often too busy with his own work to collaborate meaningfully.
Yes they absolutely do. If you think otherwise you are mistaken - the HN commentariat is not representative.
The AI characters? Nothing about them feels right. The audio looks out of sync with the fake lip flaps. The dude's arm gestures are horrendous. It's AI/cgi, yet the fake background looks like a bad chromakey. You already pointed out some of the audio/voice issues.

I'm not familiar with the culture.

Nothing in the challenge says anything about doing universal compression. In fact the key point I'm trying to make is that you _don't_ have to make a universal compressor or break entropy to win, instead just find some scheme that makes 2% of random files shorter than the original, even if it makes 98% of files much much longer. The overall entropy is increased. I wouldn't use this for anything else. But it does beat the challenge as stated.

I'd agree that Patrick didn't follow the "spirit" of the challenge or do anything interesting with compression. But in doing this I think he made a good point, which is roughly that you need to be very careful and explicit when posing challenges like this or people are going to use your sloppy wording against you.

My team spends half an hour per week on standups and about 2 hours every 3 weeks pointing stories. Any interaction beyond that is on an as-needed basis and mostly I'm just trusted to figure out what needs doing and do it. Agile is like communism - problematic, but mostly maligned by people who don't understand it using examples that are either made up whole-cloth or cherry-picked and then badly distorted in the retelling.
I helped setup the computers at JavaNet here in Northampton, MA; I believe that was in 1995. At that time they were also a local dial-up provider, their cafe definitely a coffee shop and was also quite cozy.

This page (https://reasonml.github.io/docs/en/module) is useful to see how a FP language can do what he wants. Because we have functors, which are functions from a group of modules/classes to another module/class, we can have Composition, Inheritance(single/multiple), Mixins etc.

When Terry moved out of his family home and into a smaller apartment, he became uncomfortable with keeping a large amount of cash. Last summer, when his daughter Rebecca was home for a family event, Terry asked her to take the money and open a new joint bank account that he could use to pay for dental work and to fix his truck, among other needs..."
I would argue that often the car or other hardware being delayed is not an option and so you get rushed software anyway, that has to be dealer serviced. We’ve seen that a lot in cars now that they’ve started having non-trivial amounts of software that is expected to multi-task. I don’t even know how many networks your typical EV has, it’s usually at least 4 or 5.
They want to believe it is human; however when the robots get good enough... That's further away though maybe.
great comment - today we don't provide the humans, i think there's two angles here

- providing the humans can be super valuable, especially for low-context tasks like basic labeling

- depending on the task, using internal SMEs might yield better results (e.g. tuning/phrasing a drafted sales email)

Terminals don't take much effort to maintain compared to a browser. But most browsers rely on the ad revenue. The business models of the old Opera or Arc feel fresh.
Definitely a problem that everyone needs to solve.

I wonder if you can achieve this workflow by just using prompt and the new Model Context Protocol connected to email / slack.

https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-context-protocol
There is a language spec, but the browsers implement that standard at different rates. I know up until recently negative look-behind didn't work in Safari but did work in Chrome, and RegEx is clearly a language feature rather than an API.
The C stands for Consistency.
Ironically “Holistic Development” reads like it’s just the agile manifesto rephrased to remove any mention of the customer.
How does it compare with the built-in human-in-the-loop feature from langgraph? Or CrewAI allows humaninput as well right?
Oh, well if Agile is just a vibe then count me in.
You've just read how Russia literally sabotaged European energy security and you compared this to... some European countries taking a suboptimal decision?

And Europe is not a single country. My country still happily digs out and burns tons of coal (annoying our neighbors in the process). I hope you're proud of us.
I was a teenager in the early 90s. Yes, there were some great times like LAN parties with full PCs and a house full of your friends. The hacking culture was fun, because it was so new and not so commercialized yet.

However, you would probably be bored after an hour or two with the limitations on everything.
How to Catch S3 Misconfigurations with Automated AI Code Reviews
Consider that many people today, who live better than the kings of centuries past, are depressed. One could conclude that happiness is a state of improvement over past experiences, not necessarily an absolute scale. If this is true (and I personally believe that it is), then evil is in fact a necessary baseline against which happiness can be improved upon.
Fair enough.

The original reaction for that pathology is "The Mythical Man-Month", it's what started everything. From my point of view, we're still man-monthin'.

The Agile folks just translated a personal reflection from Fred Brooks into a culture (then some companies made it into a cult).

Anyway. In your opinion, what the pathologies for _this_ time would be?
Do "books in the home" improve academic achievement?

The industry structure of LLM makers
It's not solved. I know many on this website have probably changed technology they used and used to learning but that's not the case for vast majority of people. They just want a job, pushing the buttons/emails, collecting a paycheck and doing not work thing.

As non FAANG person, the number of developers I've met who continue to greenfield in Java 8 and .Net Framework is mind blowing and any attempt to make them learn something new falls on deaf ears.
My guess is that the law enforcement hackers are professionals and use social engineering to encourage adoption of compromised apps.

Because social engineering is the foundation of hacking. Not technology.
Well, yes, but - it clearly doesn't work well to only come up with a good idea like that. After initial momentum, people often took it elsewhere, or abandoned.

Which tells you a lot about people out there. Maybe one can't force a shiny cool shoe on a feet incapable of using it well, even if it would be great in many aspects. Maybe we need something that is easier adaptable by real people making up real teams and organizations out there, not just cool books and trainings.
I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to make a lot of developers lives a lot more miserable.
I would. Not because it's something pleasant.

There is a huge difference between no value and default value. I had plenty cases where I needed to distinguish them because absent value is a violation of a contract. Defaults are not a solution.

And more. Defaults bring their own problem. Chosen values are neutral only for some operations. The most simplest case - int default value is 0, but it kinda "works" only for sums. With nulls you'll get an error in production. With defaults discovery of the error is postponed even more. It's literally the same as making up values ignoring clients will (and this decision even not ours but designers of the lang).

Defaults are implicit. It's simplifies mistakes due to human factor.
Yes, absolutely. I personally use Wezterm. I also use the VS Code built-in terminal pretty heavily. Do I use it out of some ideological hard line against applications that require a login or cost money? No. Would I be open to a terminal application that made my life easier in some ways? Sure. I'm not sure they'll get my money, but it's pretty easy to imagine there would be a market for it.
Ah, thanks. Exposing my non-academic reading comprehension ;)

Looking interesting, will definitely give it a go.

Btw, there is inconsistency between pricing page and pricing on docs.

Pricing page for developers is $59
Pricing in docs for developers is $99
We took our startup through Techstars in 2016. The next year they took a very similar company that ended up getting more funding and attention. We didn't understand it at first, but looking back it was definitely because they were the better team.

In the end, both teams failed to scale so it ended up being the wrong platform at the wrong time, but if one of them could have taken off then the bet they made would have paid off.
I don't know what subculture of developers they're targeting, but I'm definitely not part of it. They should have known that a login on startup is completely unacceptable and detestable to an important segment of developers. Not less how they launched without Linux support.

They have signalled to me, loud and clear, that their product is not for people like me, and I will never try it. Doesn't matter that they've removed the requirement, we've all seen what type of product this is.
Pee is largely recycled right now on the ISS. It's mostly water.

And nitrogen is good for growing plants - the cellulose of their structure is the ideal insoluble fibre for us. Though, cows turn it into usable sugars.
your terminal should not have RPC . I've been going the other direction, even replacing BASH with DASH , it's 90% smaller
Terrific, thank you.

Going through your posts I see quite a few terms to google and learn about. I appreciate your advice, and for kickstarting a health improvement in my life that I've been meaning to do for years.
I think it would be better to require a meaningful percentage (say 1%) of compression rather than an exact count of bytes. Especially while people can ask for arbitrarily large files.
> The cobalamin molecules are quite large and don’t penetrate the sublingual mucosa very well.

Absolute nonsense.

Did you even bother to look for one paper on the subject?
Here are a few:

Microsoft has been net negative to the ecosystem as well.
Frankly, I grew up in the last years of the cold war and remember the collapse of the Soviet Union and the eventual coup attempts vividly.

It was ingrained in my memory that there is a large chance of nuclear warfare in mainland Europe. But I witnessed how Europe fairly quickly tbh dismantled its self defence capabilities by incompetent leadership.

At the same time, Russia has attacked multiple of its neighbours over the years, and the USA has started multiple fraudulent wars to sustain its hegemony.

I guess I’m jaded?
I think every good experience I've had as part of a team, was because the business people, the designers, and the engineers were all respectful of each other, and had no power over one another. So I totally agree! Nothing stops that.

People always imagine every team has to be some little internal war, and I think the whole methodology-mill industry is built around that belief. People CAN'T compromise or work together, or at least we can't bet on that, so here's some process. That rubs me the wrong way. It's pretty patronizing, you're right that it's like treating engineers like children.

> Similar for sales or marketing. They can come to the engineers, asking them: "We would like to sell feature XYZ. Are we ready for that?" then the engineers might say: "Nope, ask again next year.",

This is a totally respectful conversation with understanding on both sides. I might want to just make sure that the engineer in this scenario would be open to:

Marketer: "Feature XYZ is going to make a massive impact if we could get it with some clients this year before competitor X. Even feature XY without Z would beat their offering. What do you think?"

Engineer: "Ah yeah, I can see how that would be a really good advantage to have. I think XY might still be a bit hard to hit for EoY with the quality requirements we have, do you know precisely what they're planning?"

Marketer: "They are really only shipping feature X for the first month I think. No screenshots of Y in their announcement. Being the first mover would be good, even without Y."

Engineer: "We can make X happen, easy."

That conversation is also very respectful and everyone is adding valuable knowledge. It feels more realistic to me as well. Sometimes "no" isn't a great answer when "could we try for something at least?" means we could solve a lot of problems/make a lot of money. That's sort of my ideal way of working now. I'll hold everyone to the expectation that they're good at what they do, and they respect that I'm good at what I do.
Pretty fun but progress doesn't seem to save on mobile. Can you make this a PWA with a manifest so it can be added to iOS home screen properly please?
great question - yeah i was actually heavily inspired by people trying to figure that stuff out on reddit back in july, and realizing that mapping that human input across slack, email, sms was never going to be a core focus for those agent frameworks
Given that the war on drugs was such a massive failure (and seems to fail harder each year), I consider their continued existence to facilitate parallel reconstruction and bypass what protections we have from our government.
Even though I’m subscribed to the RSS feed for Rob’s site (Rob Griffiths, of macosxhints.com), I managed to miss this. Great tip for the unmitigated disaster that is AppleScript (I know people manage to do really incredible things with AppleScript, but I’ve always found it extremely difficult to discover the correct syntax whenever I delve into it (I’ve probably churned out three or four successful scripts using the language and I’ve probably attempted a couple dozen).
Why are you replying to my comment with this? It has no relevance to anything I wrote.

But since you did, I’d suggest you consider not only the value system of the victims but also that of the perpetrators and the system itself.

And also consider the history.

And consider the financial differences that often exist.

Consider the communities and their plights.

Consider destruction of cultures.

Consider the dietary and health issues that are faced.

Consider the overwhelming economic and media environments that 7 years olds grow up within and how that environment is often more impactful than parents could ever hope to be.

And, if we want to focus on biology, consider the role that vision, in particular color of skin, plays in our emotions, decision and behavior. Consider how we use color of skin to read health and emotions and intentions and how it might be harder to read those when the skin is imbued with unfamiliar tones and how on a population level, such misreads can build into mistrust and conflict.
If that were true they wouldn't have made a desperate move like this.
Isn't it just a matter of time until AI gets trained to generate attention-grabbing videos? Also, "the first three seconds" isn't exactly the case anymore. There's a push for algorithm to favour videos that are longer than 1+ minutes. Which, to my understanding, is TikTok's way of fighting for YouTube's userbase.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this is that some mid-tier dictatorships could replace a lot of their newscasters with this approach. Can always guarantee they’ll say what they need to say, and a lack of emotion is a plus maybe? Except with the dear leader passes then you bring out a real person for the emotions.
This is somewhat ironic, considering the first point. If the process is not intelligible to most humans, maybe we should focus on refining/clarifying the process a bit?
Even then, there are a bunch of fancy terminals with those kinda features, like iterm and wezterm
Sure, if you like being constantly fatigued and stupid and have a constantly decaying body, you can strip all carbs from your diet. I'm not sure you can survive this; is there any evidence to the contrary?

Ketogenic diet doesn't mean stripping all carbs from your diet (which is, again, effectively impossible). It just means burning fat. It's also wildly unhealthy if you don't have fat to burn. Only obese people should engage in that sort of diet.
But there is more: IBM basically stole the entire CP/M software ecosystem by using the 8088: assembly language CP/M programs could be more or less just recompiled for MS-DOS.
