Let's be realistic EU would be dump to think that US under Trump will reliable continue to stay a alley of the EU (which doesn't mean they become a foe, either, reality is more complex then a dump black and white world few a lot of fictional stories love to have).

Meta, OpenAI and similar have made it through their action very clear that they:

- Want to abuse legislation to make sure no future competition can rise to rival them (When it comes to foundational models, close to all AI startups use fundational models from tech startups even if they speak of "having their own model" (which nearly always is just a minimal domain adaption of a foundation model from a US tech giant). OpenAI was very well open okay, or lets better say visible, about that

- Are not okay and will penalize any country with legislation which states you can't just train on copyrighted content without getting a license which allows training (i.e. it's not fair use, which it theoretically shouldn't be either in the US as it's in general trying to replace the people of which content they train on). E.g. various "open source" models from Meta aren't available in the EU and that was before export restrictions.

- Both have no access to influence US government decisions, so removing access from a Uni or even Country which tries to create their own foundation models. Which much less legal copyright issues. Is just kind of the natural consequence of giving tech giants which try to make sure they stay quasi monopolies to much governmental influence.

So I think if the US wouldn't be worried of EU then teaming up with China for ML compute ships the EU might already have been on the "reduced access" list. Or at least some key EU states which have understood how important it is to have a non US foundational model.

Through also to be fair Swiss "neutrality" is complex, and involves having decent political and trade relationships which any super power as far as relevant for them and viable (e.g. not really Russia anymore). Which includes China. This didn't prevent them to criticize China e.g. about Honkong but they are in discussions to improve trade agreements between them and China since last year (see Wikipedia).

So my guess is the main reason is to put pressure on Swiss wrt. future "improvements" of trade agreements with China.

But I think the points listed first still are something the EU has to highly worry about and they might have very well played a secondary role for this decision. You know like testing out the waters how exuding alleys from free chip access will be treated by other alleys.
Switzerland restricts access to its own allies of weapons that it sold to other countries because of internal concerns about how that could affect the country in the future. This seems to be at least partially similar to that.

At this point AI could absolutely be considered potentially threatening in the future.
Isn't this going to erode Nvidia's CUDA advantage? I thought that was way more important than their hardware.
Either way, he clearly has support among the population at large, and that is the problem.
I suspect HN would have been squarely in the “you’re taking Hitler too seriously, he doesn’t _mean_ any of that stuff” camp (this was a real and common sentiment in the early days, _even in Germany_).
In short DeepSeek R1 has nearly identical performance on benchmarks (AI tests with questions to determine their capabilities) as OpenAI o1 model, AND it's open source (only the weights), AND it's more efficient to run (I think more than 50% cheaper to run in terms of computation, which means you pay less server costs).

So it's just a much better option that is free and more efficient to run, and to add insult to injury it was apparently trained for much less than what OpenAI paid for o1. The cost of training is mostly irrelevant though because the model weights are available for free.
Mach is highly depended on altitude and atmospheric conditions. It is a ratio, not a speed.
Reform Achieved #1 on Product Hunt and 500 Sign-Ups in a Day
Hell yeah. The very first one was submitted by yours truly. I love this project and hope to work on similar ones in the near future.
According to the creator, $200/month will maintain operations. He doesn’t mention plans to monetize.
I think that Germany is much more of a bona fide ally of the US at this point than Switzerland.
I've been using purelymail for multiple domains (with low traffic granted) for about ten years. I've never experienced an outage so far. Support has never failed to respond in the under 5 times I needed it.
The main problem isn't actually context length most of the time. 128K is plenty for a lot of practical tasks. It's the generation length, both within turns and especially across turns. And nobody knows how to increase that significantly yet.
No. As the sibling comment points out, Chiang ignored the Japanese invasion until he was forced by his generals to take action. After that the much smaller Communist forces (diminished after multiple purges and military campaigns by Chiang's Nationalists) fought a guerilla war against Japan, which is the only thing they could do with the forces at their disposal. Meanwhile Chiang had a proper army, and as such fought proper battles against the Japanese.
Home Assistant and the Home Assistant Operating System have a log of bugs, regressions, shortcomings and usability problems. They have far too many problems for me to even track them or write all of them down. That's not related to your experience. There are other issues which stand out based on what you've written.

The so called issues you've encountered appear to be due to insufficient knowledge and experience. It might be a good idea to learn more to better understand what's going on. What you've done is similar to complaining about being last in a swimming competition without learning how to swim properly first and without proper practice for several years.
Even when preceded by "champagne", the word "socialist" shouldn't be allowed to appear in the same sentence as her name.
Yeah, seen the same with PC gaming. Minimum specs absolutely exploding for no real reason other than the fact most gamers were buying the latest top tier cards. Then the Steam Deck came out and devs are forced to consider the fact that a 2D pixel art game shouldn't be lagging out on a SoC capable of producing stunning 3D graphics in a properly optimized game.
I love this paradigm of reasoning by one model and actual work by another. This opens up avenues of specialization and then eventually smaller plays working on more niche things.
well I mean the US itself distanced itself from the west

depending on your definition of what "the west" means

or it doubled down on what "the west" means, if you take different and in which case the EU is slowly moving away from "the west"

either way using "the west" to lump together EU+US+Canada+Australia+... seems to be becoming increasingly meaningless
True, but one lawyer can do a huge amount of rubber stamping. That takes the price of billable hours to nearly zero.

Don’t get me started on replacing judges with AI agents. At the end of the day they’re just lawyers as well.
What does Taiwan have to do with this? Because it’s a US ally China could get GPUs through Taiwan if china invaded Taiwan?

Maybe old ones if this is what you are saying.
The machines are Dutch, but there's more to it than just the machines (or we'd have cutting edge fabs in Germany, France, US, China, South Korea, and all around).
They think Americans are a bunch of cry babies because they think they are poor when it is obvious that even the poorest among them are wealthier than the majority of the people outside America.
I hope it does not involve typing on a keyboard. Typing on a keyboard is so millennial, and holds back innovation, such as everybody solely using touchscreens in closed walled gardens. I hope the future is an llm that has access to all the context of our lives and then presents 4-5 such different keywords, and you just tap on the ones you want to use for the email. Once the llm is sufficiently trained, the last step can even be skipped and lead to the most seamless and obstruction-free email user experience possible.
Show HN: I made a feedback platform for developers to level up
Hey HN.

I spent over a year looking for a job as a developer. I sent hundreds of applications without success, not understanding what I was doing wrong...

So I built FeedbackDev—a platform where developers can share their CVs, projects, and portfolio websites to get constructive feedback from the community.

- Get feedback from experienced developers on your CV, portfolio, and projects.
- Give feedback to help others improve and grow.
- Ranking system to reward those who actively support the community.
- Leaderboard to highlight top contributors and make feedback more engaging.

> It's not useful if you have to specify a scaling factor before the application has started, when the application can move monitors.

Windows does this. Try to use in Windows 2 monitors with 2 different scalling factors. It is hit or miss. 100 and 150 works. 100 and 125 doesn't.
Those are just the direct dependencies as far as I can tell.

The frontend has its own dependencies.
pushd/popd are over 40 years old btw. Used to use them in the 90s. I decided invisible states requiring working memory create a cognitive split encouraging user error because you have to maintain the focus of the task and the invisible parts of the tool you're using to do the task.

Well ok, Jef Raskin decided that and I happen to agree with him.

My extension is "anything that requires traversing either taxonomies or invisible geometries is too much to ask." So for instance, tmux splits previous-pane and previous-window into two things so the "last thing I was looking at" now asks you to consider whether that was in a pane or a window[1] ... as if you had taken the time to diligently organize it (traversing taxonomy). Xorg's split of the clipboard into CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, SECONDARY, CUT_BUFFER0-9 and every program having a different opinion on how to copy and paste into them is another one. And then tools like tmux have their own and tools like vim and emacs have their own. So vim, inside of tmux, inside of ssh, inside of some terminal ... right. [2]

Similarly, the multi-dimensionality of many tiled window managers (where you have up, down, left, right, tab left, tab right, workspace (up/down/left/right) etc ...) is like navigating via hypercube.

It's way too complicated to keep a mental model of and leads to lots of errors. I still use one because there's no other reasonable way to leverage the multi-tasking abilities of modern machines but it leads a lot to be desired. My user error rate is probably over 80%.

I'm sure some geniuses can do it but most people cannot.

[1] I have a fix!

Add this to .tmux.conf

set -g focus-events on
bind-key l run-shell "$HOME/bin/tmux-last switch"
set-hook -g pane-focus-out "run-shell 'tmux set-option @out #{pane_id}"
set-hook -g pane-focus-in "run-shell '$HOME/bin/tmux-last in #{pane_id} #{@out}"

Where tmux-last is https://9ol.es/tmp/tmux-last

[2] If you are a traditionalist using xterm or some derivative, this block taken from my .Xresources should be enlightening

*VT100*translations: #override \n\
~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
Ctrl Shift <Key>V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
Ctrl <Key>V: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
~Shift <BtnUp> : select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
Shift <BtnUp> : select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\

It's still strait jacket drooling insanity, but at least it's a little less.

Probably the actual fix in X would be to somehow route all clipboards through DBus so then the user AND the application can have their own opinions and not have to have a bunch of accommodations for each other.
I read the articles you posted. I'm sorry, I don't find any of them convincing. They are anecdotes and wishful thinking. In particular 2 focus on people communicating with dead people they didn't know had died. I've had a lot of dreams about a relative dying and talking to them, as well as many many dreams talking to dead relatives. That's the problem with that kind of reporting: people constantly dream and so occasionally you'll get weird coincidences across a huge population.

Again, I can't discount that it could be true, but it's not proof. It's not controlled. Further, people rationalize and make things up, not on purpose, but ask any 2 people to recount the same event and get 2 completely different stories.

Actual proof would be like we placed a random word on a high shelf, nobody involved in the experiment could see the word, it was collected without viewing. The disembodied people could relay the word at some percentage. That experiment or similar has actually been tried, though I read it a long time ago and can't find the paper - it didn't work out.
IME the Swiss national football team has more Albanian and Serbian last names than Italian, and that's usually a pretty good proxy. They clearly managed to get residency. Easier for the kids of the foreign parents?

ZNS (Zoned Namespace) technology seems to offer significant benefits by reducing write amplification and improving hardware efficiency. It makes sense that manufacturers would push for ZNS adoption, as it can enhance performance without needing complex firmware. The potential for using lower-quality flash effectively is also intriguing. However, the market dynamics, like the value added by OEM stickers and the need for write-back capacitors, complicate things. Overall, ZNS appears to be a promising advancement for specific applications.
> for instance, if it was cheap enough, I would never have to use a keyboard again, which due to a disability I have, is becoming more difficult. That would help a lot of people almost certainly

I mean, sure, but it’s a disability aid which isn’t useful to the average person. I don’t think most people are saying that ‘AI’ is entirely useless, but you mostly are talking about niche uses like this, not the world-changing thing it is being sold as.
That looks like category theory rather than functional programming.
I think we can all agree the first to go should be the VCs.
Oh I did all kinds of dumb shit over the course of a 20 year career, make no mistake, and testing in prod is the least of my sins. That doesn't make it any less stupid, and in the case of testing payment gateways pointless. If you're in test mode you're going to rub up against the same endpoint you would in live. Either the card info you package and send validates or it doesn't. Using a test card doesn't alter your level of control over the situation in any way, it all goes down on your payment processor's servers. All testing card processing with a live card in prod is going to buy you is bullshit transaction data in your live datastore, and maybe a little less anxiety if it's your first time. OP is having a panic attack over card processor TOS though, so they're jammed either way.
Have you ever encountered any issues with VPNs? If so, what were they?
I've faced a few issues with VPNs, like slower internet speeds when connected, which can be frustrating during streaming or browsing. Sometimes, certain websites or services are still blocked even with a VPN active. Also, I’ve experienced occasional disconnects, and a few VPNs have had compatibility problems with my device or operating system. Then i visit https://www.vpnblade.net/ where i got many sugesstion and reviews regarding to VPNs. That's help me choose the right VPN that suits my needs
I love taking photos and realised I had this problem so I spent some effort setting up a server that delivers a random (biased in various ways), labelled photo from my (huge) collection on demand via http, with parameters for size etc, and then set up some rpi based photo frames (using old monitors) that show a random photo every 30s, and similar for desktop background on all the computers in the house. Now I feel like I'm familiar with all my photos. I also have a simple web-based UI that shows the history of the last few dozen photos fetched so if one catches my eye I can find it easily, and a way to tag photos to include them in the "random" rotation more frequently.
Tuya's entire business model is about getting their customers' data and getting them to pay for their services through vendor lock-in. They're not going to give up on all that juicy data collection and on the money they currently charge.
Check out ente.io, they offer both hosted and self-hosted.
> They get weird mainly when their training data is too sparse to find actual consensus, so instead tell you to stick cheese to your pizza with glue.

That's exactly not how that happened. That happened because Google's summaries are based on their search results and one of the search results contained that.
In rust land there is a Dioxus renderer for TUIs (https://docs.rs/dioxus-tui/latest/dioxus_tui/ but I believe it is no longer one of the supported renderers). In JS there is Ink (https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink).
I built a free site with AI tools for creators
Hey HN,

I built ToolsParaCreators, a free website with simple AI-powered tools to help creators and professionals optimize their online presence.

It includes:
• Bio generators for X (Twitter) & LinkedIn
• Headline creator for LinkedIn
• YouTube name generator to find the perfect channel name
• …more coming soon!

I made this as a quick side project in a few days. Many people starting on social media struggle with personal branding, so I wanted to build lightweight tools to make it easier.

Would love to hear your feedback—what other tools would be useful?
'Serious concerns' about DWP's use of AI to read correspondence from claimants
16 years old and there's still video tearing in the browsers. I try it with every Ubuntu LTS release, and then switch back to X in a few days. It solves problems I just don't have.
You… may misunderstand what the ‘rubber stamping’ is actually about. A lawyer signing off on something, at least theoretically, means that someone has read it, understood it, considering how it pertains to [whatever], and can stand over it. An LLM pretending to (the above) is not a reasonable substitute.
AI Pair Programming with Cline
I don't think there is any reason to believe this except that everyone seems to want it to be true.

An easy way to make it not be true would be to emphasize some sources in pretraining by putting them in the corpus multiple times.
The Influence of Milk Intake on the Lead Toxicity to the Nervous System (2004)
Just some added context: There's a non-scientific backed saying that to prevent harm from lead fumes from soldering electronics (pre RoHS standards adoption), that one should drink milk. This study seems to also go into the causation aspect with the interaction between Lead and Calcium.
> Take the best quality photos you can. Your grandchildren will appreciate it

Really resonates! Any photo taken could become a priceless window into the past for future generations
Maybe, but I think we're all subject to the temptation to make bad arguments to get one over on people we disagree with. I can respect some things about someone and not respect other things. I guess this comes from being low-key terrified I've been as bamboozled as conservatives have, and I hope if I started parroting various propaganda someone here would have respect enough to tell me respectfully. But, also I get the internet makes cynics of us all.
This TUI is really beautiful. Looking at those rounded corners I am wondering if it is using some specific font created just for TUI.
Futures drop as Chinese AI startup DeepSeek threatens Silicon Valley dominance
I clearly don't understand something about implications. Could you please elaborate or give a link to read about it? What is branch correctness? How could it be exploited? How does sanitization prevent it?

sqlx looks like a usual builder, I don't see nothing criminal about it.
Returns 504 Gateway Timeout. I guess either my rig bested the LLM or the service ran out of money.

Why is that the very least? If keeping a forum running a full time job?
For context, people were upset about using the official accounts to endorse a party wholesale, in direct violation of their charter.

A subset were also upset with the nature of the endorsement.

And then you could also discuss whether a CEO of a company has to consider what they say, regardless if they're using an official account or not. This is more of a gray area, and has people divided.

I'm personally of the opinion that, as a CEO, you're always representing your company when speaking to the public to some extent.

Corporations are the legal structure

Well well well, who'd have thought!

3 months ago on "Italy stiffens terms of digital services tax in 2025 budget":

> I thought this was what was being implemented to fix that -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_minimum_corporate_tax_r...

> You can sit around and wait for decades until this might get meaningfully implemented, loopholes get closed and enforcement is strict. Great step by Italy to refuse that and just implement a measure in the meantime. Can always be repealed if indeed things get fixed on a global level.

I self-host an instance of Lychee for all my family photos:
https://lycheeorg.dev/

There are things I really like, e.g. that you can restrict access per user.

But there's no comment/chat/discussion facility, so you cannot easily get feedback on your photos.

There's also NextCloud, but I think the solutions there are a bit more rudimentary. However, if you already use NextCloud (or a similar solution like a CMS for example), you could look for a plugin. https://nextcloud.com/
AWS autoscaling does not take your application logic into account, which means that aggresive downscaling will, at worst, lead your applications to fail.

I'll give a specific example with Apache Spark: AWS provides a managed cluster via EMR. You can configure your task nodes (i.e. instances that run the bulk of your submitted jobs to Spark) to be autoscaled. If these jobs fetch data from managed databases, you might have RDS configured with autoscaling read replicas to support higher volume queries.

What I've frequently see happening: tasks fail because the task node instances were downscaled at the end of the job, because they are no longer consuming enough resources to stay up, but the tasks themselves haven't finished. Or tasks failed because database connections were suddenly cut off, since RDS read replicas were no longer transmitting enough data to stay up.

The workaround is to have a fixed number of instances up, and pay the costs you were trying to avoid in the first place.

Or you could have an autoscaling mechanism that is aware of your application state, which is what k8s enables.
I sort of don’t hate this! Push these around a bit and that looks pretty usable to me.
A layoff fundamentally changed how I perceive work
