I wanna try and weight my reply right. I like a lot of your posts and learn from you not infrequently. I also respect the way you think. Sometimes though, you toss out a very Fox News talking point, which confuses me! Before Trump's reelection I was fine letting this kind of thing stand, I mean who has the energy. But it's clearly gone too far. Here's another great example: "the intelligence community [is] just trying to get us into war with Russia." I mean, what a fuckin bonkers claim with no evidence. What are you doing?
Interesting... We've had scanned check deposits at Chase (US) for at least 15 years, I think.

One datapoint: On /r/PersonalFinanceCanada a very common advice is to save money in WealthSimple or Questrade type of online financial institutions. And people seem to be very happy with doing this.

Any financial institution that makes the act of investing money simple and legible will win some market share. I have some savings accounts in RBC Canada, and the UX seems to be designed by monkeys throwing around crayons.
K8s really isn't about piling up abstractions. The orchestrator sits beside containers (which can be run on bare metal, btw) and handles tasks which already need to be done. Orchestration of any system is always necessary. You can do it with K8s (or a related platform), or you can can cobble together custom shell scripts, or even perform the tasks manually.

One of these gives you a way to democratize the knowledge and enable self-service across your workforce. The others result in tribal knowledge being split into silos all across an organization. If you're just running a couple of web servers and rarely have to make changes, maybe the manual way is OK for you. For organizations with many different systems that have complex interactions with each other, the time it takes to get a change through a system and the number of potential errors that manual tasks add are just infeasible.

Controllers are just one way to bring some level of sanity to all of the different tasks which might be required to maintain any given system. Maybe you don't need your own custom controllers, as there are a huge number which have already been created to solve the most common requirements. Knowing how to write them allows one to codify business rules, reduce human error, and get more certainty over the behavior of complex systems.

You’re assuming there is any coherent or consistent epistemological grounding for the average person’s beliefs

Its a fools errand - it’s an infinitely small set of people who can accurately describe their reasoning - even fewer have consistent reasoning - fewer still have coherence between beliefs

The ones that do we call either monks or crazy

I’d argue people aren’t even coherent enough to know how or what to appreciate

Some terms are going to need to exist to prevent that, so the investor shares will always be preferred. Beyond that there are in fact a lot of other terms that are in some deals but not others (2x preference, pro rata, etc..)

Encryption allows you to use a public resource (GMRS, for example) for exclusive private use. To have private use of a frequency, you gotta pay.
None of that lines up very well with the summary at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollea_v._Gawker, and they couldn't afford an appeal (as they'd have to put up a $50M bond to do so). All this after a Federal court supported their assertions of fair use and First Amendment protections; Hogan then took it to a Florida state court instead.
> Fiat is backed by tax base.

The general form of this is, it's backed by something that will accept it as payment. But then the same is true of non-fiat currencies.

The value of a currency is simply, what can you get when you spend it?
Were you around when Clippy was actually a thing? Everybody _hated_ it. It was a major embarrassment for Microsoft. Like, there’s a reason they discontinued it.

Now, everyone appears to also hate copilot, but if you’re in Microsoft’s shoes you don’t want to pre-doom it by associating it with the hated paperclip.
The bulk collection contains patterns.

How much iris variation (within that population) exists, are there any repeats (or repeats below threshold), is there any correlation between (say) iris pattern categories and facial pattern categories, etc.

Someone may think these are useful questions and this may be the first of many such data collection actions about the globe.
ACK is a compiler suite (perhaps analogous to gcc). Kevin Jordan maintains a fork of ACK that generates code for the Cray X-MP, a member of a family of famous vector supercomputers. As much of the original software for the Cray family has been lost, this ACK fork may be the only remaining way to program a Cray X-MP (running COS) in a high level language.

Resiliency at Scale: Managing Google's TPUv4 Machine Learning Supercomputer
There was a similar journey for our family after our parents passed and indeed, the photos with people doing ordinary things are the ones we share and enjoy. The Grand Canyon has a way of looking the same now as it did in 1955 and so those photos were discarded. Five boxes of photo albums were examined and the photos to keep were cut out and sent to be digitized organized by year and topic. I am glad someone wrote about their experience and the tips that come from having spent examining a life well photographed.
> What you're basically saying here is: you should just learn more and know more faster.

I didn't say anything about speed. I think you should take the time to deeply understand what you are working on.

> And what I'm saying is: that's exactly what LLM's are super useful for.

I disagree, LLMs aren't good teachers. You won't be able to spot subtle issues with their output if you're not already familiar with the topic.

> To answer your last question: about every 6 months or so. [...]

I don't see the big advantage of using an LLM there. It can't set up the environment for you.
yes! There's this measure of historical expertise that involves "eating the brains", so to speak, of the people living back then such that if you time traveled back to a bar or street in [insert period], you could carry on a conversation about events going on in that time :) I would love something that uses newspaper fragments, books, etc. to simulate this experience!

Given that HN is fundamentally a venture capital organization, I think it's typical that it emphasizes the latest hype cycle. That's were VC is active (for better or worse).

But HN has also evolved into a more general tech news aggregator. In this use case, the over emphasis of the latest "hotness" is annoying.

For myself, I'm not an LLM fanboy, and just skip those posts.

What I find most annoying at HN lately is the flagging of an increasing number of articles that someone somewhere doesn't agree with.

I would ask them to simply skip those post, like I do for LLM articles, and let people who are interested in discussing those topics have their discussion.

Shutting down other peoples conversations is a disturbing trend that I feel it is giving HN more of a one sided echo chamber feel.
Austin vacancy rate sitting at 6%. Getting below 3% is generally seen as impossible so 6 isnt that bad. Vast majority of vacancies are rehabs and people moving.

That's debatable. Russia has lost most of its good troops, much of its soviet guns and ammo and is now having to turn to N Korea of all places to bail it out. Plus ever more industrial stuff in Russia is blowing up from Ukrainian drones. In Syria and Afghanistan they looked like they were doing ok until they collapsed. I'm not sure when they last won a major war without US backing?
> is totally a China Gov't entity

Honestly, I don't know. I feel like if any better model came out from literally any AI lab in China, people would say literally exactly the same thing. Some Chinese companies are pouring billions in similar AI stuff as we're doing in the West. DeepSeek also creating problems for those companies as well. I would even go as far as saying, all those "illegal GPUs" are probably in hands of Tencent, Baidu, Huawei and other big boys, rather than DS team. But again, just conjectures here.
Maybe when it was trendy he heard some convincing arguments one way, and now that trends shifted, he was convinced to go to the other side.

Maybe he doesn't give a shit at all and is going with the flow.

None of this particulary feels like cowardice.

Honestly, y'all should stop caring what mark thinks and start caring about the average american. Trump isn't scary because a couple of billionaires are on his side. He's scary because a majority of americans are on his side.
He's setting up a case for shorting the stock, ie if the growth or margins drop a little from any of these (often well-funded) threats. The accuracy of the article is a function of the current valuation.
Just to share my experience: My brother and I recently digitized all our family photos. The process doesn't have to be so daunting. We found someone on facebook marketplace with a high quality scanner, and paid them to scan every photo and put it on a USB stick. I don't remember how much it cost but it was pennies per photo.

I think the question is, how does the 41st object to be discovered in 2018 get that name in 2025?

Clearly there's a missing link to this, as in some guy in a field "finds" an object, submits it, it gets added, it gets identified, it gets removed, and it's actual designation is then used in write-ups as if that name were the one in use before it was identified as not being an object discovered in 2025.

For accuracy, or should say 2025 CN2 (or whatever), aka 2018 CN41, was removed from the database.

Hey HN! I've been playing around with Apple's CoreML framework for some personal projects, and wanted to see how it might work in a CLI context. This is really just something fun I did over the weekend for sh*ts and giggles. I hope you enjoy!
> why such a rush?

OpenAI alone spent $20G plus some unknown value to make the first version of it we have now. They and all the others need to justify the investment.
This is cool. This is also massive. I wonder how much e.g. the arcade machine housing costs just in the filament used, and how many hours did it take to print.
Here's the full quote:

"She is a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

Trump has a (literal) record of advocating for and perpetrating violence against women and minorities. I don't know of any elected Dems who called it anti-woman (there's a trend of taking any Dem on X as representative, which isn't a good survey), but if they did that's the nicest thing you could say about it.

FWIW I agree the Cheney thing was boneheaded, and the defense of "she offered to campaign" is... prrrrrrretty wimpy. Some people argued you needed to shake people in the middle free, but no one in the middle likes Liz Cheney; she's mega conservative.
> On a practical note, when I release apps, I generally try to support as far back as possible (usually a couple of major releases). Supporting these can be challenging. I can only imagine what this was like.

This isn't to diminish OP's work, but I imagine it's quite a bit easier if you're only targeting an older platform.

Basically, just write the software as if it's the year your target platform was released. It shouldn't be more difficult than writing any software was back then. Heck, it may even be easier because you have access to more modern tools, like AI.
The only claymation that looks good is that of aardman animation. Everything else looks absolute garbage.
I had a similar question that I posed to an ally in senior leadership. The answer, obviously I guess, was metrics. Assuming your teams didn’t just FAFO through it, you could reconstruct what the expected outcomes were vs actuals. And follow that with sound recommendations about where it could be used along with some thoughts about the future state (when the tools are faster or cheaper or whatever).

Another commenter had a great note, that you should take this opportunity to advance your career, given you are in an excellent position to do so. It made me giggle, but then think that you really need to make sure your PoC was executed thoughtfully and seriously, that you understand what the SoTA is wrt using assistants and their various modalities (chat, agent, copilot etc) and despite your expertise it was a no go. Because if you don’t, somebody else who is taking it dead seriously is going to take that commenters advice and demonstrate the value that you didn’t, and this may reflect poorly on you. Execs are getting hype from their back channels or vendors like I have never seen in my career, and you are going to go against that. ($bigco perspective there)
On sway, if you use the proprietary Nvidia drivers, it is often necessary to disable hardware cursors. I wonder if there is something similar happening here. Maybe wayland gnome doesn't use hardware cursors?

> "The strength comes from the tightening/wedging effect when pulling the join apart. If the dovetail is tapered, the join can also tighten when it aligns too – this is highly desirable for gluing, as it means the glue will not be scraped away."

While true, dovetail and other traditional woodworking joints borrow their strength from using the wood grain to support the joint.

I don't know a lot about 3D printing but I'm guessing a lot of the assumptions about woodworking joints strength aren't applicable.
> Like if you have a friend who's very well-read and talkative but is also extremely confident and loves the sound of their own voice. You quickly learn to treat them as a source of probably-correct information, but only part of they way you learn any given topic.

I can't speak to everyone's experience - but whenever I'm having a conversation around relatively complex topics with MY friends - the deeper they dive, the more they're constantly referring back to their dive computer. They'll also try to make arguments that are principally anchored to the pegs that they're convinced will hold. I'm aware I'm mixing metaphors here but the point stands.

As far as "mixing information" - yes there are commonly known tricks to trying to get a more accurate answer:

- Query several LLMs

- Query the same LLM multiple times with different context histories

- Socratically force it to re-assess itself

- Provide RAG / documents / access to search engines

- Force quantitative tests in the form of virtualized envs though this is more for Compsci/Tech/Math

etc.

LLMs don't currently have a good sense of their boundaries - they can't provide realistic confidence scores and weight their outputs accordingly - the human equivalent of saying, "I only have a passing familiarity with the original greek of the Septuagint, but I think...."

It's a poor use of an LLM as a glorified fact checker - it's far better as a tool for free form exploration.

> Being good at mixing together information from a variety of sources - of different levels of accuracy - is key to learning anything well.

I have a pretty extensive background in teaching/education and I would heavily disagree with this assertion - at least when starting as a complete novice. The key to learning well is to establish a strong foundation by learning from the most accurate resources as possible. When you pick up a musical instrument, you don't want a teacher who's just one page ahead of you in the lesson book.
I have not used Office for years, but I still can't imagine using anything else to write a document if I ever need to.

Serious question: what is the last version of Office (or Office for Mac) that I can purchase that doesn't include AI features? Are there 202x versions still available that will never be updated with AI features?

It might be the last piece of Microsoft software I purchase for a good decade.
I missed the accusation of malignancy. Malignancy and cowardice will lead to the same outcome when courage is called for. And MZ is simply greedy and afraid of losing what he's got, which is four orders of magnitude (at least) more than basically everyone else involved.

I would be more inclined to travel overseas if travel times were shorter thus making me a more frequent customer and bringing the airlines more money.
I think you comically underestimate what Kubernetes provides.

Autoscaling groups give you instances, but Kubernetes automatically and transparently distributes all your running services, jobs, and other workloads across all those instances.

Pulling fraud with ACH is pretty rare. All the scammers trick people into sending them money, or take over account and send it, this is more common with phones and Zelle. The latter would be handled with current system. The former isn't handled with current system, and would be helped if there was way to reject transfers to help with return money scams.

There is danger that people will send money on bogus requests, but invoice fraud is already covered. Other countries have the same model of sharing account number widely and it works.
I work in IT support helping customers with this type of thing and this specific problem you just described still trips me up regularly.

And it's been like that at at least 3 or 4 companies I've worked at so it's not just this specific organisation.
> deregulation

No, hard disagree here - regulation is a big part of what killed supersonic flight the first time around.
I agree with most of that.

After doing some in-house scanning I sent a bunch of stuff out. At the time, there was a company in CA that put stuff on a pallet to India. A bit butt clenching but it was great and I wrote a review for CNET where I was in the Blog Network at the time. https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/reviewing-the-result...

Was probably more selective than you. And agree that a lot of the day-to-day stuff outside of the house in particular simply wasn't recorded. No photos of my mother's chemistry lab for example.

I've thrown a lot of stuff out but could probably get more scanned but not sure after looking at it if another pass is worthwhile.
In my experience, these AI models haven't been great with knowledge about one specific figure (like a President). I wonder if there's a movement to start introducing these AI models to books or e-books that aren't accessible online? I wish I could be able to discuss the less publicly known details of historical figures' lives or upbringings with AI, but it's clear that more niche information that you can only read about isn't available to it.
I haven't been this intrigued since I found out my 'hot sister' was adopted. Just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's interesting that every entry in your bullet list is a tech that I find to have had an overall negative impact on society.

Every one of those examples is a genereal tech that could be used for better or worse, but that have almost exclusively been used to more effectively exploit users.

As is always the case, what's good for the VC investor is not necessarily good for everyone...
I don't think that's really true. If you made a list of all the protests in the US that happened in the last, say, 70 years and threw a dart I think you'd almost certainly hit a protest that was mostly performative. Essentially people LARPing, to use the parent commenter's term.
I'm not an expert but my understanding is it takes multiple observations to pin down an orbit and be sure it isn't an existing object. Those observations can be very chance driven.

And, of course, you happen to be one of them no doubt :)

The classic internet philosopher’s lament: everyone else is irrational, inconsistent, and incapable of coherent thought—except, of course, the enlightened commentator making the claim. The irony is that this kind of sweeping generalization is itself an incoherent mess, built on vague cynicism rather than any serious engagement with human reasoning. If you actually believe that consistency and coherence are so rare, what exactly do you think you’re demonstrating here? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks less like deep insight and more like self-important nihilism masquerading as wisdom.
Don't most companies have a code of conduct or reputation brand protection policies? Anything that could cause "public backlash" would violate company policy. Not sure how it works for hiring, but it seems to hold up for firing. A company should have a right to protect their brand, within anti-discrimination bounds. Being arrested and having an arrest record, wrongly or not, is not the same as intrinsic human properties, such as being--for example--black and/or female etc.
Uh, no, I'm talking about companies finding arrest records on a cursory Google search and avoiding that candidate in favor of other options, not because they don't want the backlash but because why would they hire them when there are other options?
