> Nowadays, in addition to the traditional VC route, there's also the indie hackers movement. Those founders typically aren't friends with old money, so they will bring a different perspective on financial risks.

When I first started hanging around HN (around 2011 or so), the general vibe seemed much more like indie-hacker types to me, lots of anger at VCs and the hockey stick growth required.

Honestly though, the following decade was a massive tech bull market which presumably pulled lots of HN denizens in (including me). Maybe we're getting back to that a little bit with tech layoffs and potential opportunities in other industries.

"On the fence" is too strong a phrase for this situation, I think. They don't consume apologetics to push themselves back in, but rather to keep themselves completely immersed in the religion.
> We stand now at the edge of a new epoch, reading now being replaced by AI retrieval.

Utilizing a lively oral trad. at the same time as written is superior to relying on either alone. And it's the same with our current AI tools. Using them as a substitute for developing oral/written skills is a major step back. Especially right now when those AI tools aren't very refined.

Nearly every college student I've talked to in the past year is using chatgpt as a substitute for oral/written work where possible. And worse, as a substitute for oral/written skills that they have still not developed.

Latency: maybe a year or two for the first batch of college grads who chatgpt'd their way through most of their classes, another four for med school/law school. It's going to be a slow-motion version of that video-game period in the 80s after pitfall when the market was flooded with cheap crap. Except that instead of unlicensed Atari cartridges, it's professionals.

they may be highly profitable in aviation and marine and they may develop there first. is that what you mean by core?

because revenue-wise the core was automotive in the beginning and now is outdoors and fitness.

Good question, let's try to answer it. Suppose OP believes they have a serviceable replacement in place. What arguments could they use to convince their communities to switch to it? Here's some ideas:

- No ads.

- Free, even for business-use.

- No algorithm interfering with visibility.

- It's usable by community members who do not have a Facebook account, for whatever reason.

- Allows for more free-form content.

- More choices for content delivery format & notifications (say, email, text message, newsletter links).

Maybe you can come up with some. What would you find to be a convincing argument to switch to a community-owned organization platform instead of Facebook?

I can't. There's basically no theory behind the "Laffer curve." IIRC, it relies on two assumptions. Assumption #1: If the income tax rate is 0%, the government will collect zero income taxes. This assumption is basically a tautology. No one can disagree with it. Assumption #2: If the income tax rate is the maximum possible, 100%, the Laffer curve assumes the government will collect zero income taxes, because taxpayers will find ways to avoid paying all income taxes. This second assumption is questionable, because taxpayers might successfully avoid paying only some taxes. Even if you agree with both assumptions, there's no agreement as to what tax rate would maximize government tax collections.

I really think the ability to ask questions entirely free from all judgment is an under-emphasized aspect of the power of these tools. Yes, some people are intellectually secure enough to ask the "dumb" questions of other humans, but most people are not, especially to an audience of strangers. I don't think I ever once asked a question on Stack Overflow, because it was easy to see how the question I worried might be dumb might be treated by the community there. But I ask all sorts of dumb questions of these models, with nary a concern about being judged. I love that aspect of it.

Ummm... and Apple Watches are the epitome of high fashion? I don't think this is a strong argument when directly comparing these two things. Fwiw, I have met quite a few watch enthusiasts who wear a mechanical watch on one wrist and an Apple Watch on the other. This seems natural, honestly, since the primary function of an Apple Watch is definitely not to tell time.

"To put a bullshit machine on the internet, in the name of Christ, is reckless. It's almost certain that it will make stuff up at some point. This is bad enough in itself, if we care about truth, but it will also have many negative consequences. For example, Muslims will spot the fabrications, even if there are only one or two, and use it to discredit your work."

What a weird jab at "Muslims". I don't think this person is fit to do apologetics, since they are unaware of the rather harsh challenges to christian theology put forward by e.g. modern physics, capitalism and thinkers like Marx, Nietzsche and Freud, which are much more serious than nitpicking "discredit" put forward by some equally naive dawa enthusiast.

The AGI LLM religion itself is a much more credible threat to whatever flavour of protestant baptism.

* Look into Diaspora. (https://diasporafoundation.org/). Upside: It's basically a self-hosted facebook. Really cool project. Downside: Unlike facebook, there's no fake/pushed content so it tended to feel stale.

* Look into hosting a forum (e.g. phpBB). Forums are excellent because they don't lose old information like facebook does. When someone says "Hey what's the policy on dogs?" three years later I can search "dogs" and find the answer. Downside: They're not pretty, not full of pictures and no infinite scrollingz. sadge alfababies. Kidding aside, if you do try a forum, be sure to not offer a bunch of niche subtopics. The more subtopics the more stale the forum feels overall. Just stick to one main topic until someone asks for a second.

* IRC chat. I hosted an IRC group for several years at work and it worked great. We only killed it when we decided to move to an enterprise communication app.

Yeah, I think that's part of the reason both the Apple Watch and Garmin's can thrive: because they have their own market.

I recently renewed my Garmin watch and I did the same: disable all the phone related features.

And one of the Reddit comments quoted in the article says the same:

> Apple Watch is a Smartwatch with fitness features, Garmin is a Fitness watch (with admittedly lacking) smartwatch features.

People still buy Garmin watches instead of Apple Watch because they don't want the "smart" stuff, they want the fitness stuff first.

And yeah, the battery life is also a big factor!
This theory is not scientific (food is not energy, the body is not a machine, measurements are not precise etc.) so there is nothing rationale you can say that will convince people who believe in it to switch to something else
Nearly half a trillion dollars of net worth must make him feel untouchable. The SEC can’t touch him when he says “funding secured” (it wasn’t). Nor can they do anything to him when he secretly bought Twitter shares.

Because he’s so engrained with the government he’s untouchable. SpaceX is doing stuff NASA only dreams of. Nobody built out starlink to the volume that he did and so now he can play king maker in war zones like Ukraine.

He’s got huge conflicts of interest with China.

The man is basically an asset of foreign governments and is here sweing the seeds of hate on his mega platform.

This is starting to remind me of the discourse around the made up mathmatics in Isaac Asimov's Foundation called psychohistory. People are starting to have near religious like beliefs for and against large language models because of its very difficult to comprehend nature.

It is not artificial intelligence and it is not generating truth or any such human concept. It is still just math.
The most recent versions of macOS and iPhone OS have me seriously considering a Linux desktop for the first time. That is almost completely due to the fact that Apple Intelligence is so bad and I’m forced to disable it across every single app. This is not the type of stuff Steve Jobs would’ve shipped.

It reminds me of the early days of Uber - the value add over taxis wasn’t in the ride itself*, it was the app and the fact that a car would actually show up. I suspect DoorDash et al are similar - the value add is the restaurant selection and the app ordering, not the actual delivery.

(* yes, yes, I too have stories about taxis. I now have stories about Uber drivers, too.)
Needs a "(2012)" in the title.

I remember liking this a lot when the design was first released, especially with the chaos of what would become known as the "Frutiger Aero" aesthetic period. It demonstrated just how fragmented Microsoft's brand had become, and how little visual consistency across their products and UI there was.

But looking again a decade later, I do not believe the "slate" would've stood the test of time. It's hard to make timeless brands, and often brands just make large shifts counter to the current direction, people follow suit, and it becomes outdated quickly. I'm not sure what Microsoft is doing now is much better than where we were 10 years ago, but I do think the simple four squares "Windows" adaption is a nice place to end up.
>> Modern Garmin GPSs can get traffic data -- Counter Point: It requires a cellphone and it is not going to be as good as google maps

They make versions that get the traffic data over FM radio, you don't need a phone with those. For example https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/1240929.

Extremely sensationalist. A cell tower might have a range of a few miles, max. This is giving ranges of 250+mi.
With the newer Apple Watches you can just use fast charging. I basically just charge it when I shower and do my night time hygiene routine and it’s ready to go back on my wrist to track my sleep and act as a silent vibration alarm in the morning so that I don’t wake my wife up early. The only time I run into battery life issues is when I go on a weekend camping trip.
Layman question here since this isn't my field: how do you achieve success on closed-system tasks without supervision? Surely at some point along the way, the system must understand whether their answers and reasoning are correct.

So Instagram definitely created two segregated lists of hashtags based on politics, and intentionally implemented SOMETHING in the algorithm differently between the two, messed up and revealed that they are trying to do SOMETHING differently between the two. Now that the tags are 'restored' the question is what is Insta actually trying to accomplish behind the scenes?

You gave a big wall of text. You made statements that can't really be defended. If you'd been talking just about wings, you could have made that clear (and not in one possible reading of a sentence that follows an absolutist one).

The thing I felt like responding to, you were like "noooo, i didn't mean that at all.

> > > > > Yet powered flight has nothing to do with space travel, no connection at all.

Pretty absolute statement.

> > > > > Gliding in the air via low/high pressure doesn't mean you'll get near space, ever, with that tech.

Then, I guess you're saying this sentence is trying to restrict it to "airfoils aren't enough to go to space", and not talk about how powered flight lead directly to space travel... Through direct evolution of propulsion (turbo-machinery), control, construction techniques, analysis methods, and yes, airfoils.

I guess we can stay here debating the semantics of what you originally said if you really want to keep talking. But since you're walking away from what I saw as your original point, I'm not sure what you see as productive to say.

So the problem here is an LLM hallucinating... about a completely made-up, delusional story that people happen to take really personally.

As I said I understand public statements by organizations because Musk has now real power but there is no reason for ordinary people to give him benefit of doubt. Especially when he supports European anti-Semitic politicians.

For someone who still lives in Europe, whose big part of family perished in 40s, this is pretty big deal.

Late to reply, but yeah no one is eager to do it. Unfortunately being good at security means being really good at work that is boring, tedious, and not glamorous, which also measures poorly into OKRs and other facets of shipping culture. Unless the team has really strong leadership that can get the security engineer ladders divested from the SWE/SRE ladders.

In religious communities we would call such an attitude scrupulosity. It refers to a sort of religious OCD, a paralyzing fixation on the rules and a demand for unrealistic standards of perfection.

According to Christian teaching, such an attitude comes from a lack of faith. A lack of belief that God is ultimately in control, and an understanding that for all the imperfections and flaws that we as humans inevitably bring to the table, god can still work through those imperfections.
Verifying LoRA fine-tuning updates for large language models without exposing sensitive parameters has been a longstanding challenge in AI development. Traditional methods are slow, inefficient, and risky for protecting proprietary data.

Enter ZKLoRA, a zero-knowledge proof protocol that enables secure and efficient verification of LoRA updates. By compiling LoRA-augmented layers into cryptographic circuits, ZKLoRA ensures compatibility between private LoRA modules and base models in just 1–2 seconds per module—even for multi-billion parameter LLMs like GPT2 and LLaMA.

Key Features:

Privacy-Preserving: Keeps proprietary LoRA weights private during verification.
Efficiency: Scales with minimal overhead, even for decentralized workflows.
Open Source: Explore and implement the protocol in your projects.
Benchmarks show impressive scalability, making this a potential game-changer for secure collaboration in AI pipelines, particularly for decentralized and open-source ecosystems.

The open-source repo is live, and we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Given you're surfing this forum, you probably work in tech and have expendable income, most people don't. Also there are many ways you could (and maybe already are) spend money to reduce CO2 impact. Electric car, buying solar, etc.
Fwiw, I felt the same way about the Connect app changes last year, but that went away after a couple months once they released an update that lets you customize your main screen view.
