TL;DR: Tintin in the Land of the Public Domain.

I had forgotten Pebble used Tintin-themed code names (which I assume was the inspiration for the Snowy assistant app's name?)...

Tangentially & coincidentally related: the Tintin & Snowy[0] characters entered the/a Public Domain[1] at the beginning of this year!

Which means your lawyer might advise that you might now actually be able to use an actual original Snowy illustration[2] for the app logo...

I mention this primarily because I am currently (in theory) developing a Tintin-themed game for an annual Public Domain game jam[3]. In reality, I've spent more time trying to locate scans of Tintin-related documents/illustrations[4] that actually fall under the constraints necessary for even US Public Domain[5].

[0] Milou.

[1] Well, actually[1a], maybe only in the US for 2025? And 2034 in Berne-associated countries? And 2054 in Belgium? Or any year if you're an AI, seemingly? Okay, perhaps it's better to not use an original illustration. Such are the joys of actually trying to interact with the Public Domain in good faith[1b].

[1a] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_in_the_Land_of_the_Sovi...

[1b] It just now occurs to me to wonder whether or not Milou can actually be referred to as "Snowy" given Tintin wasn't translated into English until the 1950s (late 1950s for the use of the name "Snowy" rather "Milou") (and as late as 1989 for the first title "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets"), given translations are AIUI new works?

(After all, "entering the Public Domain" is not of much value if the related material isn't accessible or the status is unclear. (Which is why recent trends in FLOSS project copyright year ranges statements bug me...))

Nothing is really completely harmless if you think about it - but I agree that weed is more dangerous than it’s made out to be often.
I think the same applies to every socially accepted drug, such as coffee, alcohol, ibuprofen etc
Hey, thanks for your comments!

Exporting discussions is a really good idea, thanks, will definitely look into that.
I think newer systems are better since they support desktop-like deeper sleep states, as well. Maybe you can further optimize with a high hysteresis on-demand scheduler and core-pinning long running daemons to a single socket to keep the other one sleeping for most of the time.

We do the exact opposite since we're going "full throttle all day, every day", so I can't give you numbers on that front.

I can't speak for Japan, but around here most "no smoking" landlords permit vaping.

> people aren't idiots and they tend to resent individuals, groups and institutions that make their daily behavior unlawful with the stroke of a pen

Yes, but when the people affected become a sufficiently small minority those people have a smaller and smaller impact on local and regional elections. The culture in much of the world has shifted so firmly against smoking that politicians in these places have probably rightly calculated that the irritation from the few holdouts who still feel entitled to smoke in public is massively overpowered by the gratitude they'll get from the people who are tired of dodging tobacco smoke on the streets.
that is correct, until someone using it into production gets burnt.

Parallel construction is the term for using a covert, inadmissible method to get your suspect, then using that illicit information to build a legitimate case that you can present in court.

So much nostalgia for my Pebble. Got it right as I was seriously getting into programming. I still remember how magical it felt writing the C code to build my first watch face and how proud I was to show people. Amazing news <3

At least in the UK creationism is a rarity. The huge difference between good and bad schools exists though.

My kids were home educated up to 16 and then went to a sixth form college (school for 16 to 18 year olds) that is pretty good and well funded with some really good teachers (the physics teachers are outstanding - one that taught by older daughter now works for CERN, the head of department has a PhD, and they are all passionate about the subject). its not immune from league table pressure, the curse of education in the UK.

It is if you're using market movements as evidence of anything factual. If markets aren't rational, you can't use them that way.
This doesn't account for the server they are hosted in, their CPU loads, losses in the PSU, which will inflate those numbers higher.
Then there is the cooling, which needs to remove every watt consumed by the GPU/servers, as its all outputs as heat (multiplied by the PSU losses).
Things are amplified further by the inefficiencies of the cooling process, including cooling the HVAC hot side (and the water consumption of the cooling towers), and building insulation.

Then the article only accounts for Midjourney, which is only one of the operators in this space. All the major tech companies have huge fleets of server working on this.
Yeah, "nothing is really completely harmless" is used to justify all kinds of harm. Nothing is completely harmless, but some things are more harmful than others, and at least with adolescents weed isn't even in the same ballpark as coffee or ibuprofen.

Show HN: Learn from case studies 10x easier (if it breaks, just refresh)
The tool helps you compare different voices by the topics on the same topic(s) efficiently.

I use it to study how different companies approach problems like hiring, product strategy, org design etc. But as of now I'm not sure what are the user segments I should directly talk to.

Backstory of the idea first (why), followed by how to use it.

Backstory:
I am a reader of Lenny's Newsletter, and I was reading the "How {company} builds product" series. But reading alone is not enough, the ideas are easy to read and easy to forget.

Learning these things for me, means comparing how different companies make decisions under the same topic, like hiring, building culture, org structure, etc. I want to compare their answer to the solution, and their reasoning if possible. So I have to deconstruct each article into different single theme chunk, and then sort it by themes (hiring, product strategy,..), then I ask questions about each theme ("what worked for ..., why?") to get useful results ("YC mentality + senior talent"), and then finally, I get to "organize" the information to better build my understanding on the topic.

Real learning comes from 'reading' and 'organizing', the rests (deconstructing, sorting, finding themes) are steps that prepare the information that's helping you to 'organize'. And I think the value of this tool (Reconstruct) is to help you skip the manual preparing part (it takes a shit ton of time and energy).

How to use it:
(if it breaks, just hit refresh)
1. Upload some documents of the same topic, ideally newsletter, high quality articles, podcast transcripts etc. Personally I also think this works well with YC startup library too. This only accepts .txt and .md now
2. Click 'deconstruct' to break it down into multiple chunks. It should take less than 10 seconds.
3. Click 'identify themes' to learn which topic that chunk is talking about. It's good when you can find repeated themes (colors) in the articles. This should take around 30 seconds, depending on how many chunks there are.
4. Click 'sort' to view the chunks by their theme
5. Select some cards you are interested in, and click 'Extract by'. Enter what you want to extract from the cards, and you will get the results next to it.
6. To understand the results better, you can go through step 5 multiple times, until you get all the useful information you want. You can then switch mode to connect mode (cmd +2) and connect the cards together to form a learning.

How freaking bold this mofo is! I stopped using GitSht because after being bought by MS it went downhill progressively rendering every crucial feature unusable! Like on purpose, simplest things like buttons and menus went more and more broken. Month by month SOMETHING new went wrong. How f* sinister can devs be to enjoy torturing users so much? Oh, right: this is a corporate policy.

Eventually people will sell their stock to invest in some business that is actually growing or giving proportional dividends.

Of course, that "eventually" there is holding a way too much load. And it's very likely this won't happen in a time the US government is printing lots of money and distributing it to rich investors. But that second one has to stop eventually too.

My big current conspiracy theory is that this negative sentiment toward Nvidia from Deepseek's release is spread by people who actually want to buy more stock at a cheaper price. Like, if you know anything about the topic, it's wild to assume that this will drive demand for GPUs anywhere but up. If Nvidia came out with a Jetson like product that can run the full 670B R1, they could make infinite money. And in the datacenter section, companies will stumble over each other to get the necessary hardware (which corresponds to a dozen H100s or so right now). Especially once HF comes out with their uncensored reproduction. There's so much opportunity to turn more compute into more money because of this, almost every company could theoretically benefit.
Thanks for the great feedback and totally get where you're coming from!

Pricing is definitely not set in stone and will likely be adapted based on the feedback. My starting point is all the freelance platforms out there that take up to 20% in some cases. So I thought 1% is a good start, especially considering the fact that even payment processing fees are usually higher. But you're making a great point, it shouldn't feel like you're paying too much, so capping the fee is a good idea :)
I find that putting together a presentation is a good way to think about a topic more deeply.

I'm sure you know this given the ;-) but in case someone takes it the wrong way, although I speak at events even now that I'm not being paid a salary because I feel like it, very few things irk me more as analyst/consultant than someone who asks me to do something free "for the exposure."
It can't get sillier than this. All that DeepSeek did were showing that NVIDIA products hold more value than believed, and that US dominance more illusory than thought. It has zero negative bearing on eventual path to AGI.

And that's somehow supposed to be end of NVIDIA? Hello?

Great question! My focus was on creating a clean, minimalist app with notifications and cross-platform sync, all while ensuring it works without requiring an account.

In the future, I plan to add features like:

> vaping (public health win!)

I don't think it's that clear. If smokers simply replaced their smoking with vaping maybe it would be a win, but I've noticed that the behavior when it comes to vaping is wildly different: smokers tend to vape more than they would smoke because of how little friction there is in comparison (you don't even a lighter, you can often stay indoors and it will smell less so others won't complain as much).

I even know of someone who vapes while lying in bed, and I can't imagine they would smoke a cigarette there.
Too bad for you, if the majority of them will vote someone not to your liking.
I wouldn't exactly call it "normal", but that's partially because a lot of C# developers still don't know about the relatively new generic maths feature. Those who are familiar regularly "abuse" the system in a similar way because that's one of the major benefits of it. We don't necessarily reimplement basic arithmetic using the type system, but we regularly hoist generic constants into static properties in order to convince the compiler to behave the way we expect. For example: T.PopCount(value: T.AllBitsSet) is a safe and generic way to express the size of a binary integer as a constant.
The solution is to grow our way out of it — make more energy, make cleaner energy, develop new technologies — rather than browbeat people into submission with moral arguments because you don't like how they've chosen to deploy their resources.

Twice last year, I went into a coffee shop in Osaka to kill some time and the shop turned out to allow smoking, so I left. I was surprised both times, as that hasn’t happened to me in Yokohama (where I live) or Tokyo for a long time.

One of the shops [1] was in Taisho Ward, and the other [2] was in the basement of one of the Osaka Eki-mae buildings—both places with a working-class, nontrendy atmosphere.

Is anyone canceling their orders? Has anyone announced that the efficiency savings from Deepseek's innovations mean we will have superhuman AGI by the end of the year using existing hardware? Or that existing hardware fully covers all of the expected training demand for the next year?

Or will all of the efficiency savings get immediately absorbed by the demand for better performance and feed the demand for inference?
Really appreciate your feedback. Simplicity and ease of use were top priorities—glad you noticed!

Ok, that's cool. So because you were unable to find a needle in this case, your conclusion is that it's impossible that other people to use LLMs for this, and LLMs truly are just glorified Wikipedia/Google?

> Hi small comment, please remember in china many things are sponsored by or subsidized by the government. "We[china] can do it for less.." , "it's cheaper in china.." only means the government gave us a pile of cash and help to get here .

And that's a really important strategic advantage China has versus America, which has such an insane fixation on pure(ish) free markets and free trade that it gives away its advantages in strategic industry after strategic industry.

Some people falsely infer from the experience with the Soviet Union that freer markets always win geopolitical competition, but that's false.
Thank you, and I’m glad you appreciate it!
But I just find it baffling how acceptable it is to see someone publicly smoking weed at 7am on a weekday. What does this guy's day look like? How can he function high all day?

Chemicals affect people differently. There are some high energy, high anxiety people who can be very productive on all kinds of substances that would make me useless all day.

That said, there are also a ton of stoners just doing nothing all day. I get it though, when I was a teenager working at bestbuy I got high just to make it through the day. Now that I have to think at work it is unimaginable.

It really is strange how having a beer with breakfast is somehow worse societally than smoking a joint. I think we’re going to see pushback against cannabis abuse in the next few decades. Hopefully after it’s fully legal.
Thanks! I aimed for a clean design, and I’m happy to hear that resonated with you.
Maybe I'm jaded, but it seems so much about the tech industry is just about getting around labour laws and making people work for orders of magnitudes less than their real worth (^).
