> According to Ken Kocienda's book (he was one of the original developers of Safari), that email is a post-hoc rationalization.

Kocienda's book doesn't say that Melton's email is a post-hoc rationalization. It doesn't say anything about that email on a meta level. It merely gives a straightforward account of the project's history from Kocienda's perspective. There is zero contradiction between this, the message from Melton on the KDE mailing list, or the other historical accounts (e.g. on Wikipedia) that cite Melton.

The official story from Melton has always been that they originally tried to start with Mozilla, found it too difficult to work with, so they abandoned it and adopted KDE folks' work as the basis for their Mac-native browser.

The most relevant passage from that email:

> When we were evaluating technologies over a year
ago, KHTML and KJS stood out. Not only were they the basis of an
excellent modern and standards compliant web browser, they were also
less than 140,000 lines of code. The size of your code and ease of
development within that code made it a better choice for us than other
open source projects.

(GeekyBear's "Well, no" here is definitely wrong if the particulars from Kocienda's account are in fact accurate, but that's simply poor synthesis on some HNer's part and doesn't make Melton's version a retcon. The accounts we have from those involved are consistent.)

Some thoughts:

- if you get whatever you wanted before it snaps back out of it, wouldn’t you say you had a successful jailbreak?

- related to the above, some jailbreaks in physical devices, don’t persist after a reboot, they are still useful and called jailbreak

- the “snapped out”, could have been caused by a separate layer, within the stack that you were interacting with. That intermediate system could have detected, and then blocked, the jailbreak
In the last 5 years the only real service my EV has had is a 12V battery replacement (done under warranty), cabin air filters, wipers/wiper fluid, and tire rotations.

And those can pretty easily be done DIY or at a local tire shop.

I can imagine why dealerships may not be pleased, and have heard about other EV brands having things like recommended $300 annual service visits where the dealership basically does the above items and checks for software updates. I guess some people will pay it and that might help keep the dealerships from being too mad about the changes.
But how hard it is to just tell a person you vaguely know (like neighbors or people who you know from work or venues) "I feel a bit lonely, wanna do something?".. we always have to have a "better" reason than just that.

i think it helps to phrase it differently.
don't say "i am lonely", say, "i work alone and i like to sozialize". or "i am a very social person and i don't get enough interaction at work". to a coworker you could say: " i enjoy talking to you, want to hang out after work" or something like that.

i agree that "i am lonely" potentially comes across as needy, so i would focus on the general positive aspects of socializing.

i should note that i didn't have any opportunity to apply these myself but i was occasionally on the receiving side being invited to join others without any specific reason other than hanging out together. which is actually another approach. look for existing groups and see if you can join them

Musk is probably really good at back of the envelope calculations. The kind that lets you excel in first year physics. That skill puts you above a lot of people in finance and engineering when it comes to quickly assessing an idea. It is also a gimmick, but I respect it. My wild guess is that he uses that one skill to find out who to believe among the people he hires.

Seeing him dabble in politics and social media shows instantly how little he understands the limits of his knowledge. A scholar he is not.

Only the oldest CRTs used leaded glass for the front, because leaded glass gradually turns brown on exposure to X-rays. More modern CRTs used glass with barium and strontium for X-ray shielding in the front. They still used leaded glass for the back and sides, presumably as a cost saving. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the barium-strontium glass for the whole thing. Alternatively, CRTs could be made with ceramic bodies like Tektronix used to do.

The energy of the X-rays produced is limited by the CRT's acceleration voltage. The electrons get almost all of their energy from the field produced by the acceleration voltage. Electrons can produce photons when they hit matter, and one electron produces at most one photon, so by conservation of energy the X-ray cannot have greater energy. Smaller CRTs typically use low acceleration voltages, which means the X-rays are low energy and thus easy to block.

Yes, I've taken multiple - anywhere from a couple months to an entire year during COVID. Travelling, trying my hand at a business, others to just take a break and work on side projects or freelancing before fully jumping back in.

It's good to consider the financial impact seriously in balance with everything else - not only the income you won't earn, but also how that would have compounded across your lifetime.

To address your point about recruiter emails, I still get them. So long as you can provide value to a business at the end of your break it's not necessarily an issue, though you might have to work harder to demonstrate that - I think especially for the soft skills you'd otherwise be using day-to-day in a workplace as opposed to when you're just doing your own thing.
> Modern OLED displays are superior in every way and CRT aesthetics can be replicated in software, so a more practical route would be probably to build some "pass-through" device that adds shadow mask, color bleed, and what-have-you.

OLEDs are still behind on motion clarity, but getting close. We finally have 480 Hz OLEDs, and seem to be on track to the 1000Hz needed to match CRTs.

The Retrotink 4k also exists as a standalone box to emulate CRTs and is really great. The main problem being it's HDMI 2.0 output, so you need to choose between 4k60 output with better resolution to emulate CRT masks/scan lines, or 1440p120 for better motion clarity.

Something 4k500 or 4k1000 is likely needed to really replace CRTs completely.

Really hoping by the time 1000 Hz displays are common we do end up with some pass-through box that can fully emulate everything. Emulating full rolling CRT gun scan out should be possible at that refresh rate, which would be amazing.

Show HN: Open-source turn detection model for voice AI
Hey HN, it’s Russ - cofounder of LiveKit. An open source stack for building realtime AI applications.

We’re sharing our first homegrown AI model for turn detection. Here’s a live demo: https://cerebras.vercel.app/

Voice AI has come a long way in the last year. We now have end-to-end systems that can generate a response to user input in 300-500ms — human level speeds!

As latency reduces, a common problem that surfaces is the LLM responds too quickly. Any time there’s a short pause in a user’s speech, it ends up interrupting them. This is largely due to how voice AI applications perform “turn detection” — that is, figuring out when the user has finished speaking and when the model can run inference and respond.

Pretty much everyone uses a signal processing technique called voice activity detection (VAD). In a nutshell, it figures out when the audio signal switches from speech to silence and then triggers an end of turn once a configurable amount of silence has transpired.

One obvious delta between VAD and how humans do turn detection is we also consider the content of speech (i.e. what someone says). These past few months, we’ve been working on an open weights, content-aware turn detection model for voice AI applications. It was fine-tuned from SmolLM v2 on text, runs on CPU (currently takes 50ms for inference), and uses speech transcriptions as input to predict when a user has completed a thought (also called an “utterance”). Since it was trained on text, notably it works well for pipeline-based architectures (i.e. STT ⇒ LLM ⇒ TTS).

We use this model together with VAD to make better predictions about whether a user is done speaking. Here’s some demos --

- Podcast interview: https://youtu.be/EYDrSSEP0h0

- Ordering food: https://youtu.be/fcr8Y-3c4E0

- Providing shipping address: https://youtu.be/2pQWvd6xozw

- Customer support: https://youtu.be/YoSRg3ORKtQ

In our testing we’ve found:

- 85% reduction in unintentional interruptions

- 3% false positives (where the user is done speaking, but the model thinks they aren’t)

In practice, we still have work to do. We currently delay inference if the model predicts a < 15% chance the user is done speaking. This threshold misses a bunch of middle-of-the-pack probabilities.

Next steps are improving the model accuracy, tuning performance, and expanding to support more languages (only supports English rn). Separately, we’re starting to explore an audio-based model that considers not just what someone says but how they say it, which can be used with natively multimodal models like GPT-4o that directly process and generate audio.

Code here: https://github.com/livekit/agents/tree/main/livekit-plugins/...

Let us know what you think!
In 2025:

1. Viral LLM-based game will be released, new trend emerges

2. Sora-like (AI generated) content floods Internet, significant advancements in that field

2a. Maybe a new kind of addictive video content generator is being released. Possibly for porn

3. AI generated music becomes popular and takes significant market share on Spotify (but it's going to be a music meant to play "in the background", like in supermarket)

4. Significant competitor to Google Search becomes popular. Mostly because of Internet becoming closed due to crawlers gathering data for training. Much less data available publicly, rise of "closed gardens".

5. SpaceX successfully launches payload to orbit with Starship and catches both stages.

6. Much more debris on Earth's orbit, dangerous incident in space because of that

7. VR remains a niche

8. More and more users start using voice to control their personal computers
You'd have to find out the veracity of those leading phrases. I'm guessing that it just prefaces the answer with a randomly chosen statement of doubtfulness. The error bar behind every bit of knowledge would have to exist in the dataset.

(And in neural network terms, that error bar could be represented by the number of connections, by congruency of separate paths of arguing, by vividness of memories, etc ... it's not above human reasoning either, no need for new data structures ...)
Watch out, sometimes simplicity carries a higher time cost... creating it.
The idea doesn't matter, only the effect. If the net change is less innovation for temporary benefit, then it is a failure.
Was this done by the same person as made the video, or is it blogspam of it? (I'm asking because people are complaining about it elsewhere).

It is true in general but for users, not for corporations that profit from walled gardens.
I also wish to subscribe to this thread.
It depends on the CRT. Some use steel bands wrapped around the edge of the faceplate and tightened to keep the glass in compression where it's strongest.
While this can be done in principle (it's not a foolproof enough method to, for example, ensure an LLM doesn't leak secrets) it is much harder to fool the supervisor than the generator because:

1. You can't get output from the supervisor, other than the binary enforcement action of shutting you down (it can't leak its instructions)

2. The supervisor can judge the conversation on the merits of the most recent turns, since it doesn't need to produce a response that respects the full history (you can't lead the supervisor step by step into the wilderness)

3. LLMs, like humans, are generally better at judging good output than generating good output
I would counter that the "modern" Penn Station (at least prior to the recent projects) is worse at that "fast and safely" objective. It's much harder to navigate a maze of tunnels than to navigate a large, open station headhouse with far fewer obstacles between you and the track or exit you're trying to reach.

With the new Moynihan Train Hall, built in the same style as the original Penn Station, I can simply enter from the street and walk in a straight line to the escalator down to a specific track. No more maze of tunnels (getting to the subway is another matter).
I agree, and a lot of that is cultural as well. But there is still a variety of confidence within the statements of a single person, hopefully a lot, and I calibrate to that.
Wouldn't such a civilization slow down as it gathers?
It would be interesting to see if there is a layout of supervisors to make sure this less prone to hijacking. Something like byzantine generals where you know a few might get fooled, so you can construct personalities which are more/less malliable and go for consensus.

This still wouldn't make it perfect but quite hard to study from an attacker's perspective.
We no longer use memoization except for older code.

New code has anything that needs to be memoized defined in the initialize method. This solves a lot of problems and Sorbet typing is what encouraged us to go this route.

Now there could be a branching problem - one branch will not need to call the expensive thing another would not. In reality I have found this never to be the case in our code base. May be different for your designs.
Community notes is really great. It's the best system for fact-checking anyone's ever come up with.
> Who is keeping a Linux machine updated without regular restarts? I've never heard of that.

You only need to restart when the kernel has a security update, and you can do it at your own convenience. Same happens with some fundamental components (such and Gnome session manager). My Fedora box usually has a 30 day-ish uptime. The Ubuntu laptop a little less because of its usage pattern, but it signals when a restart would be a good idea, and leaves the decision to me. When it’s time, shutting down and restarting is just a couple seconds. Fedora is more cautious and does updates on startup or shutdown, and never automatically.

A distro is a curated work. All the bits and pieces are known to work well together. The price is that you might get behind the latest and greatest from time to time. If you are using 20 PPAs or package sources with varying levels of testing, you shouldn’t blame the distro for your self-inflicted wounds. Unless you actually know very well what you’re doing, use the packaged versions. I actually know what I’m doing and I use the packaged versions, because I’m paid to work, not to debug my setup.

> And then some package may either fail to initially install

I had experiences like that with Debian Sid. As is well known to anyone familiar with the Toy Story universe, Sid breaks your toys. I’ve never seen anything like that with Debian testing, Ubuntu, RHEL/Centos/Fedora in the past 20 years or so. But I never actively tried to break the package system by having 20 different sources for stuff.
This is how I do it as well, gumtree or marketplace.

True. Although, would a call to a museum of Japanese technology/industry, or to Sony HQ, have had a better chance to preserve it? (More likely to save it, less likely for it to be destroyed in handling and shipping.)

As well as keep it in country?

Perhaps the current owners will be reached by a museum, and decide to repatriate it. I imagine that the right museum home could be a win for everyone.
