thanks! it's impressive how people are so happy to stop thinking at "he already disavowed project 2025" even while he's implementing it.
Users care much more about convenience than security. If you made a phone that wiped itself after 3 incorrect pin attempts then you'd have a lot of very angry users wearing gloves. "It's for your own security!" wouldn't appease them.
because the guy spent more time shipping the product than iterating on the website that describes the product. (Deadly sin of every startup wannabe)
It's not like a static type system, and the compiler isn't doing any new reasoning about the code with the sanitizer enabled. It's all runtime checks.
The screen shows a no signal symbol. I seriously doubt that a cell protocol could lock with just an exposed coax. The truly paranoid could stuff a piece of foil in the coax connector to short it to ground.

I 100% don't doubt there's a layer of verification of content, maybe relationship with the platform, and etc.

It is though amusing that they're on a platform that given the idea we're working with here ... has I think measurably moved towards more of the less desirable content.

One of those things where the established system gets a pass but there's a delay in adopting anything new because of the same issues already present.
As far as I know the money doesn't go to professors but to ever increasing administration and shiny buildings.
Hi, Hope everything goes well.

We’re preparing to launch Lora on Product Hunt, and I’d greatly appreciate it if you could check out our teaser page and provide your feedback.

Quick overview of Lora:
- Lora is an on-device LLM with performance comparable to GPT-4o-mini.
- We provides Lora with SDK for app builders to integrate their app super easy.

App builders can solve this problem
- Turn API Cost to fixed cost
- privacy regulation like GDPR, CCPA
- provide AI app to no internet zone

- Here’s our teaser page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/lora-2

If you find our product interesting or valuable, we’d also be grateful for your support on Product Hunt. Every bit of encouragement helps us grow and reach more people.

We’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any questions you might have. Thank you so much for your time and support!
Who cares what political stunts the US is currently going through? Except for the ~4% of the world who happens to live there, the rest of us tend to choose tools based on either what others around us use, or what we've found to work best for us.

If that happens to be an editor from China instead of US, I don't know what difference that would make? Both governments in those countries are crazy about spying on both their own citizens and everyone else, and have their corporations under surveillance.

As long as the editor doesn't send opened files/files from my drive to some remote backend, I couldn't care less about the nationality of the developers.
Care to cite that precedent?
This is just the first day. From reading the article, seems like they went after the easier targets first.

Energy is scarce, at least compared to the amounts people want so that they can enjoy a high standard of living. Pretending otherwise does not change that. Hydrogen is a battery technology, only storing energy we get elsewhere.

Decoding Vector Search: The Secret Sauce Behind Smarter Data Retrieval
Last November I made a commitment to myself to avoid social media and the news and I've noticed a very positive impact on my outlook and demeanor. The only social media I've consumed since then has been HN, but even then I've found myself becoming more irritable as topics I'd rather not think about have started to come in.

In fact, dang asked me to reign it back just yesterday because that irritability has started to come through in my comments here. So, now I find myself in a position where I have to start cutting back on or removing HN as well, which honestly sucks, because I want to interact with people online in a meaningful way, but I'm also having a problem not engaging on divisive topics that I feel strongly about.

Somewhat related - I was just thinking this morning how I wish I could have a phone that only did calls, text, GPS, and music without any of the other distractions. I think I would be much happier if I had something like that.
This is only true if you have that kind of attitude.

As a bootcamp dev, with barely 3 yoe, I'm hitting around 10% response rate for recruiter screening (remote/hybrid positions). I put a boatload of hours honing and perfecting my resume + a few other strategies.

I think there's always a way to stand out as long as they don't follow advice/opinions from anonymous forums like HN or reddit. Lots of bad noise out on the internet.
Yes. This is the better solution.

Some expensive lenses like Zeiss, Varilux, and Hoya make you an extra pair when you by one. I tought that the extra pair must be equal the first one, but it isn't necessary. I could have asked for a general one and one with a greater area for medium distance.

That's a recipe for absolute boredom IMO. Likely end up zoning out, and there experience will only reinforce the feeling of helplessness.
This is the level of obsession I aspire to reach one day. I love it!

Pretty sure the hydrogen market shook out really hard when nothing significant came about the massive infusions of money during the zerp years.

Hydrogen is and will remain a relatively niche player given its use case (industrial) and complexity of managing. Wish it were different.
As illustrated in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42795679, the reason you think it's hyperbolic seems to be that you don't know what the word "hyperbolic" means.
To quibble a bit, I don’t think that magic leap one released as complete products.

Magic leap had like a 30 degree FOV and no software. It was a dev kit, literally. The consumer version was never released IIRC

Also, I don’t think you argued against the main thesis which is something like “startup land is too good at the first 80% of a product, but not the latter 20%”

That rings true for me. Our industry is not known for robustness and quality. There is robust and high quality software out there, but most of it is not.
For building software that is your basic web application/SaaS an important part of agile processes, including an MVP, is you build the minimum to get the product out there with lower priority features in a backlog. The idea behind vertical slices in traditional software development (not games) is you have a testable slice of software that can be shipped.

A major benefit of iterative development is you may have features sitting in a backlog that keep getting pushed aside for higher priority features that you aren't expending software development and testing resources on those features. Contrast that with a waterfall approach where an entire product is designed up front, requirements documented and then built. The product likely ends up with features that are not important and rarely used.

Iterative development, or agile, processes are not the best process for every project. You definitely want high risk projects like nuclear power plant control software to use a waterfall approach to ensure safety.
There's a case that "phonishness" has hobbled the industry and what we need is less phones. Insofar as parents buy a Switch for their kids, parents might rather give their kids a device which can't be used to watch TikTok videos and Instagram channels promoting eating disorders or to browse online pornography, for example. In terms of gaming, mobile games are the bulk of the industry in terms of revenue, but many of us feel that "gatcha" games are exploitative of users and a step backwards for the industry.

It also could limit their market. If the Switch 2 was a phone, a person who already has a phone might feel like they don't want to give up iOS for Android or the large investment they already have in a phone, switch carriers, etc. For that matter, carriers are going to want some input into any device you sell on their network which would mean fighting off efforts to install 10 bad Verizon-branded apps, wanting a cut of any games you sell, etc.

If it's an additive thing it is still fighting for space in your ADC [1] but it's not competing directly for your phone, the app store of which is a cesspool of exploitative mobile games.

The Playstation Vita had a cellular modem option which was little used. Plans for it were expensive and had low performance and low data caps. Most of us were pretty happy with WiFi, which is uncapped and lets you install games that are a few GB in size without excessive wait or worry.

My vocabulary hasn't got appropriate compliments - so I'd just say congratulations to the author, you've got serious talent, hard earned skills, and great mentors.

Just commenting so I can't come back later and claim I wasn't stealing lots of ideas from the author for my own project; the hinge problem, keycaps, the mainboard designed on KiCAD, are all interesting.
Even if you go to yandex.ru, you can find mac mini m4 for sale for same price at in the US. Export controls are pourous.
This is an interesting approach.

I like the idea of cataloging stuff that you find frustrating as a way to keep it in mind when prioritizing what you want to try to change. It’s easy to get caught up in a recency bias and forget about the other things that might have a bigger impact organizationally or at a micro level for your day to day work.

When starting a new job I add a header for it on my resume and start a new document for wins and things that went well - as a way to keep them in mind during review cycles and as a list of things that might fit under that new resume heading.
I find it is good for many things. A time-saver & productivity booster for domain that's already known aka problems that have already been solved.

For new stuff or stuff not in the public domain like that it is completely worthless. I also have to keep second guessing the results. Fortunate enough quality testing a bunch of code on a carousel to "good enough" status has never been easier.
> Startups burn through cash as they skyrocket in size and ambition, accumulating outrageous perks and office equipment along the way. Then they crash to Earth, with nothing but their private planes or massive 3D printers to pad the impact.

This does not sound healthy.

Almost sounds intentional by its common knowledge usual occurance. Taking the money of some clueless holder of money - optimistically calling themselves as investors, never as suckers for sure - and fraud away. Having a good life while doing it. Putting it proudly into the CV to repeat. Like if this is the original intent to begin with. To fail and skim the money while losing bad. Not really doing/attempting something beneficial and lasting in the end. That might sound scary - meaning they have to worry about being permanently successfull, balancing the sheet, react to adverse changing, for long, long, long. 'Starting up' (and fall) is easy, 'keep on going' is too hard?
Energy is not scarce. It’s our translation mechanisms and own ability that is scarce. Look up that sun has produced our entire planet for millions of years and continues to do so. It’s virtually infinite compared to our needs.

Then you notice all the other stars in the sky that are nuclear reactions going off.
The wall connector definitely isn't considered as interesting as the vehicle itself, although tangentially there's been more focus on chargers lately.
Yes. You can have reading lenses or lenses for medium distance. Measure the distance from your seat to the screen. Get a max, minimum and most common distance in your different seating positions.
Bullshit, not every founder or organization is morally bankrupt. Have a look at Lichess or the Blender Foundation. (Ethical) values are an essential aspect of any organization, and at least for me, these are shining beacons of humanity.
No, bureaucratic authoritarianism (our current system) does not encompass all authoritarianism. The flavor that has just been set into motion is autocratic authoritarianism, which is actually closer to what most people mean when they just say "authoritarianism" (hence this gutting of bureaucratic that would otherwise slow it down). That perspectives have been able to become so warped as to blissfully ignore the horrors of autocratic authoritarianism really just shows how out of touch voters have become.
The crime is increasing the risk to other people. Why does that not make it a crime in your opinion?

If I try to shoot someone but miss and they never even notice, is that fine because there’s no actual victim?

Edit:

To be more precise, the crime doesn’t even need you to increase the risk to anyone. Just thinking that you’ll increase the risk is already a crime, even if you’re wrong. If you buy a prop gun but think it’s real and try to shoot someone, that would still be attempted murder, even if it couldn’t even have worked. But you’re punished for trying to kill someone, it doesn’t matter wether you’re incompetent at it (well you get a bit less for the attempt compared to the actual successful act but it’s still a crime).

And another edit because coming up with weird hypotheticals is fun:

Imagine planting a bomb with a one hour timer on a marketplace and when it goes off, the marketplace was empty of people by chance.

Does that mean that the worst punishment you should expect should be for property damage because someone needs to clean up the ground? Obviously you committed a crime, even if there’s no specific victim this time.
Honestly I don't have any hope xd It was something that I created for me and then I thought that maybe some people could be also interested in the challenge.

I tried to put a small friction to avoid people spamming any kind of draw, but I'm not doing a content review or censoring anything xd It doesn't have a huge user base and probably it won't happen.

Thanks for your comment ! :)
Right. It's an industry term though and doesn't have anything to do with focal length.

NYC doesn't really have the ecosystem. You can definitely find used Aerons on facebook marketplace though.
How’s this any different from saying “2 monitors is a security issue, what if you’re typing a password but Discord on monitor 2 was in focus”?

Typically when I’m typing my password into an input on any platform, I’m looking at the password input, and if it loses focus, I’m going to notice.

On most OSs these days (including macOS), native password inputs are rendered by an elevated privilege secure process, and focus stealing behavior is disabled while the password input is on-screen.

> There's a lot worse danger there, like potentially agreeing to things you would never have agreed to.

If it doesn't have my hand-written signature then it's not an agreement.

I can't "agree" to something I haven't read, haven't been notified about, and haven't agreed to.

A robot clicking things does not mean I agreed to whatever it clicked it. It means that the the other end of the transaction can't tell the difference between me and a robot.
Is anyone aware of a list of affected models posted anywhere? All 2015+ models?

Obviously the ability to pull up account history, previous owners, etc. is applicable to anyone with a Subaru.

But I'm curious if location history shows up for people that have Subarus and never registered Starlink/never used the app. The author says:

>but it seemed that we had agreed to the STARLINK enrollment when we purchased it.

But it's not clear to me whether "it" refers to purchasing Starlink or purchasing the vehicle.

Splitting water molecules is too energy intensive generally, but that is not the problem this solves. The problem this solves is that splitting water molecules is a process as old as chemistry, for which there are no private excludable rights like patents, which means no incentive to create an initial investment with the expectation of future returns on a monopoly / market-leading position. If the hydrogen is in the ground, then somebody can own that ground. Without a huge, irrational investment in hydrogen, nobody has any incentive to build hydrogen infrastructure.

As for "applications" - basically the only application for hydrogen that has big engineering advantages with current tech is in longrange aviation, where it grants a bit more than double the range, and we're going to have to wait for China to launch a liquid hydrogen combustion scramjet bomber for anyone in the industry to actually care about that capacity enough to overcome the logistical hurdles of airports supplying a deep cryogenic gas and the innate conservatism of aerospace design. I believe we'll have standardized regional lithium ion aviation long before we build antipodal liquid hydrogen planes.
> It's not actually a 600B+ model. It's a mixture of experts.

Is this described in the paper or was this inferred from the model itself ?

Just curious, especially if the latter.
This feels desperate.

> 1. JSON-over-HTTP for over the web

So literally gRPC[1]? You make it sound like there is a difference. There isn't, really.

What gRPC tried to bring to the table was establishing conventions around the details neither HTTP or JSON define, where otherwise people just make things up haphazardly with no consistency from service to service.

What gRPC failed on in particular was in trying to establish those conventions on HTTP/2. It was designed beside HTTP/2 with a misguided sense of optimism that browsers would offer support for HTTP/2 once finalized. Of course, that never happened (we only got half-assed support), rendering those conventions effectively unusable there.

[1] I'll grant you that protobufs are more popular in that context, but it is payload agnostic. You can use JSON if you wish. gRPC doesn't care. That is outside of its concern.

All three of those are commendable open standards. All three are on life support.

Email is immensely concentrated amongst a literal handful of large players, and intercommunications between those are fraught. (My Protonmail messages to Mozilla Pocket's QA team are rejected by their Gmail service, and have been for years.) Spam, confidentiality, privacy, and trust of asserted identity are all overwhelming problems. I make all but no personal use of email and haven't for years, despite first using the medium in the 1980s.

RSS has been strongly deprecated by major players. Its one bright point are podcasts (based on RSS), though that is also increasingly centralised and commercialised. The number of pods which are ad-free has been ever-shrinking, and those ads are exceedingly poor. Major publishers managed to make their RSS feeds all but useless (teasers of stories, abysmal formatting, ads/nags). Small blogs are still a source, but they're hardly the vanguard they once were.

The Web's standards process has been utterly captured by Google on all three of the publisher, ad/tracking, and browser endpoints. Scrap it and start over is my general recommendation. Gemini (the protocol, not the AI engine) is an interesting but insufficient start. (I'd like to see more structured documents with notes/references at a minimum supported.)

So yes, open standards still "exist" for some value of existence. But they're far from healthy.
“Not a risk to our system”

I have no doubt that’s heavily lawyered and is justifiable. What is their “system”… Define it the way you want and the statement is true
I was lucky to have the DCM in my 2019 Outback (which is responsible for cellular communication and thus this whole STARLINK thing) replaced with a bypass box under the warranty program related to the end of 3G service. My car was trying to go online 30 times an hour or something like that, draining the battery enough that it needed to be replaced after just 4 years. They don't have enough new DCMs so they were willing to replace it with a bypass box instead, which seems even better to me.

So at least my Subaru cannot connect to the cloud anymore. I'm sure it still stores location and telemetry data for insurance fraud reasons though.
ah, so that's what they were scraping my git host for!
Purchasing the vehicle.
Yeah I mean I wasn't doing things like this. I was constantly frustrated because I didn't have any resources to achieve the things I wanted. Didn't even have a half decent computer. I had some janky celeron thing that barely functioned and I couldn't even buy books about subjects I wanted to learn. To think the things I could have done if I was a well off kid.

"weird sun twitter"?
It's more like if someone tried to delete/hack your account but you send a confirmation email to protect such a thing, and Microsoft clicked on the accept & delete account button in that email. So you deleted the user's account.

Do you know what users like less than inconvenient security? It's when "security" deletes all of their important data.

Again, still have to draw the line of what's acceptable somewhere. All I'm saying is you don't have to ruin your software because someone else is an idiot. Don't punish everyone because it makes the problem somebody else's to fix... That's what Microsoft is doing here, and it's obviously bad.
Wrong Starlink. Subaru's is cellular based, not space.
The same thing all car manufacturers are after... AI. And I'm not joking this time.

Cars have become a commodity, especially since China made their first vehicles that didn't get outright banned in Europe for being too unsafe to be roadworthy, and even some nominally "entry level" cars have more horsepower under the hood than a 1990s 7-series BMW (138 kW). Strict requirements on emissions, fuel consumption and crash safety have all but eliminated differences in optics (the amount of shapes is finite). So the only thing left to differentiate other than build quality (where China is rapidly catching up) is assistance systems... and there, AI is the hot craze, and AI only works when it has insane amounts of data to gobble up.
