Thanks for the this.
The Tories in the UK messed up processes around immigration in a similar way.

Break the process and it looks like you have a bigger problem, so it's a political win - if you don't care about actually doing the thing you say you care about.
Here's how Canadian tech salaries compare to the U.S.
People way underestimate their exposure to this kind of thing. It’s always those undeserving people who will suffer, while I’ll be just fine. Turns out it doesn’t work that way. Hoping for a system collapse is hoping for personal disaster.
Your stereotypes belie a lack of familiarity with researchers. Here [1] are the demographics of PhD researchers.

White individuals are significantly under represented (and even more so in STEM) though it's not for any nefarious reason. Science has traditionally been merit > all. And lots of highly skilled individuals from China, India, and so on are pursuing education and work in the US, which makes the competition for these spots very different than a random sampling of Americans.

From the article:

>> For academic scientists, the list of banned activities could include efforts to increase diversity in the scientific workforce, collaborations with foreign scientists, and research on more environmentally friendly technologies.

These are not the "vast amounts of pseudo-science" that your comment refers to.

I have nothing against the ideas suggested in the 2020 blog post that you cite... it's just that is not what is happening because of the executive order.

The executive orders do not address bad science.

So overall, I agree with most ideas in your comment but I do not think it is relevant to the current situation. The administration is not trying to fix bad science.
> Resolved is useful if you frequently change networks (e.g. a laptop)

I can see the case. I use it myself on a laptop. And by "use" I mean that I just gave up looking into Linux desktop networking like a decade ago. It works, fine.

> I believe that part of the problem is that it is written in C, which is an absolutely terrible language for reasoning in. Writing it in Lisp would have been smart. Writing it in Go nowadays would probably be okay. But C is just an unmitigated disaster.

... this is ... incredibly wrong. Hardest disagree on all points here.
How does crypto eventually die?

Do people en masse suddenly decide they will never buy or sell crypto, because the price has gotten so high any % gains are going to be way smaller than other investments so what’s the point?

Will birth rates fall so much that the population of naive young people, who are the main buyers of crypto, won’t be enough to sustain the whole scheme?
Were you required to buy into it? Prove your “loyalty”? What do you mean?
All I can picture right now is a Ferengi.
I trained myself to wiggle one ear as a kid and it's exactly like this. The muscle is much stronger in that ear and there's a weird reflex that when something startles me from behind, the same muscle that makes the ear wiggle triggers. It happens in the untrained ear as well.

Weird phenomenon.
can someone please give a quick summary of the criticism towards ollama?

as far as my intel goes it's a mozilla project shouldered mostly by one 10x programmer. i found ollama through hn and last time i didn't notice any lack of trust or suspected sketchiness ... so what changed?

The modern sovereign credit monetary system and the rise of financial innovation products have led most people into the illusion that "commodities are money." However, the truth is quite the opposite.

A very simple perspective: Bitcoin prices are highly correlated with the stock market.

However, this does not mean that cryptos are not worth investing in. It just means they are not inherently more magical than other virtual financial products—at least for now.
the overton window has a new view. According to the old direction, these subjects are 'not to be discussed in professional society', i.e. they are to be decided by government and are considered intellectually dirty. Under the new rules, anything goes and needs to be publicly debated in order to remove the previous biases.

Curious to see whether HN is also following suit in changing its window, like every other online medium seems to be doing.
I initially tried to use Meson for a small emscripten project targeting WASM, but it seemed stuck on the idea that I was cross-compiling (technically true), and this seemed to make everything more complicated. With CMake I was able to hack together a working build configuration without too much trouble. I just had to tell it that I wanted to use emscripten as the compiler.
But crypto has no fundamentals. Its price is determined entirely by speculation."

I am not sure. Bitcoin mining has costs. So you can assign a price to this.

Gold mining has costs. Gold has some applications in industry and health, but mostly it is used as a "storage" of wealth and for jewelry.
In 1635 they said it was crazy for tulip bulbs to be selling for 5 florins. They peaked at 5500.
It's funny to see the Vatican reusing the Feuerbach thesis about humanity creating the idea of God and then becoming slaves of that idea to talk about AI, as they are the gatekeepers of the original Artificial Idea called God :)

But also in this text we can feel the idea of the human soul and free-will crumbling, that also are the core of secular humanism.

Marxist analysis is also challenged, as we can speculate that AI would make the organic composition of capital to go to the roof... but you can really talk about OCC in regards of singularity AIs resembling more the Aladdin lamp or the Green Lantern ring than a highly automated factory, without even mentioning the possibility of an agency on their own?
DeepClaude – Free API that wraps DeepSeek R1 and Claude sonnet into one
I think you are confusing pricing and valuation.

Anything can be priced and the price can be modeled.

Crypto valuation is what doesn't make sense because it is not a cash producing asset.

I don't know though if the price of crypto is more ridiculous than the price of an original Francis Bacon painting or a PSA 10 Michael Jordan rookie card.

The main issue for me with crypto is we haven't had a recession that was more than a blip since the bitcoin white paper. The price of Francis Bacon and Michael Jordan have been through some tough economic times. We will see how crypto does. Not something I want to find out with my own money.
That's definitely true regarding your last point. Maybe I need to contribute significantly to some OSS projects or have a really nice side project or portfolio of side projects to level the playing field?
>prevent the hiring of individuals based on their race, sex, or religion, and prevent the hiring of individuals

Did you know the EO that was rescinded had similar verbiage too?[1]

You are technically right.

My view is that there is an attitude/approach spillover from systemd crowd into other teams. Switching port 22 from sshd to systemd was not something that any sane person could come up with. It's a stream of incredibly hostile decisions from systemd upstream that allowed that kind of thinking.
Was disappointed that he only brought a modified oil filled watch to 5km underwater. Would have been interesting if he’d have strapped a stock watch next to it so we could see when it would break.
> The attempt at the "GNU OS" failed because the Hurd was never really usable.

Pre-systemd you could get Debian with Hurd and it was fine. There was never much reason to use it - hardware support was worse than Linux and there was no real killer feature in practice - but it worked.
Air traffic controllers are staffed at 65% across the US. Budget cuts and turnover are cited. Meanwhile the FAA is being rattled to its core by the Orange One.
ramalama still needs users to be able to install docker first, no? That’s a barrier to entry for many users esp. Windows where I have had my struggles running Docker not to mention a massive resource hog.
Database design fundamentally trades off the speed of acknowledging writes with durability/availability (these are the same thing at scale) guarantees. If you need to guarantee that a change has been replicated globally then you cannot acknowledge the write as quickly as if you have a single control server with no need for persistence.

"Scalable"? Needs more context please. Scalable how? And what are you willing to compromise on for that scale?
.. but it's weird how someone who only joined HN 45 minutes ago could come to such a conclusion!
It's running on lobste.rs code as far as I've seen.
I think it was already obvious that your comment was all based on irony, and adding an irony notice that only mention further its irony doesn’t add any information. I would even say that wouldn’t be for meta-auto-derision, adding so much hints about irony included, this might have ruined the whole irony through a pale copy of comics of repetition.

and yet, because social networks degrade in quality over time (popularity brings about the riff raff), it's essential to start net social networks to maintain quality discourse.
What makes you say Midjourney is the biggest one? How would you know?
The PR has been legitimately out-of-date and unmergeable for many months. It was forward-ported a few weeks ago, and is now still awaiting formal review and merging. (To be sure, Vulkan support in Ollama will likely stay experimental for some time even if the existing PR is merged, and many setups will need manual adjustment of the number of GPU layers and such. It's far from 100% foolproof even in the best-case scenario!)

For that matter, some people are still having issues building and running it, as seen from the latest comments on the linked GitHub page. It's not clear that it's even in a fully reviewable state just yet.

Stocks and crypto are fundamentally different.

Stocks give you a legal right to the assets and future profits of a company - a legal right enforced by the government (i.e. men with guns).

Crypto gives you no such right. In crypto you just hope someone else will pay more for it later. In that sense crypto is similar to baseball cards, and slightly similar to gold (gold has some industrial “actual” uses, but its high price is really driven by cultural perception of value.)
Oh wow it's real

That’s circular. Those use cases only work if it has value. If they’re the only reason it has value in the first place then it’s a house of cards.
Stealth hyperinflation is an oxymoron: if you have hyperinflation, everybody knows about it due to prices changing every single day.

Show HN: Weekly Podcast on CVEs
Hello HN,

Keeping up with security vulnerabilities each week can be overwhelming. To make it easier, we’ve created The Exploit Podcast—an automated weekly podcast covering CVEs and security news.

You can listen on:

Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-exploit-podcast-cv...

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6d4yfU1geTLIKtaY7lQJvm?si=YCrh...

We have tried to make it automated so that the creation of podcast is not a burden to us. To help in this, we built CVEingest[1], a tool that:

1. Crawls GitHub Advisory and CVE.org, along with referenced sources.

2. Fetches code diffs (if patch is present)

3. Generates a SSML script where host and guest are talking which can be used to create audio.

4. Creates an audio podcast via Microsoft Speech (or lets you download CVE data in JSON).

This podcast will help you stay ahead of emerging threats.

Science around human body movements is in its infancy. Motion capture can't differentiable various muscle group activations, resulting in the same motion pattern.
Electric activity sensors are not sensitive enough to capture individual muscle movements.
And there are not enough interesting subjects (top athletes, performers etc) available to scientists to improve models and methods.
This is an interesting question.

I've seen it implemented in a couple of ways. One of the simplest is stronger blinding of applications so you aren't biased by irrelevant personal information.

For example this has been pretty effective in astronomy (proposals to get time on competitive instruments) where applications with female names were less likely to be approved. Simply removing the name was enough to improve the situation.

The fallacy is that people think DEI encourages preferential or token "diversity hires". When implemented correctly, it should mean that successful applications (for jobs, grants, whatever) go to the most qualified or deserving candidate using unbiased/impersonal metrics. That may mean encouraging minority groups to apply, but at the time of review, you should have no idea who the applicant is.

How is the design of the APIs? How stable are they?

> Most software is insufficiently complex to adequately represent reality.

That may be so; what I'm claiming is that most of the complexity in software as it currently exists is accidental.
I used to think the problem of governance by EO was getting worse too but the stats tell a different story:

> bytestreams are less debuggable

Text streams are considered "better", because the standard UNIX userland (unlike e.g. DOS) provided excellent tools for dealing with text streams: grep, sed, awk, find, tr, etc and of course the shell itself.

But once you get your hands on excellent tools (like jq) for dealing with other kinds of data (like JSON), it turns out everything is even more powerful - you can now work with JSON as easily as with text, it just plugs into the existing ecosystem. But even though JSON has a human-readable text representation, it is no longer just text - it is dynamically-structured, but strongly-typed data. A JSON array is a JSON array, you can't just awk it.

There are byte stream formats (e.g. msgpack) that have feature parity with JSON. jq can't accept msgpack-encoded byte streams, but suppose a hypothetical tool, msgpack2json, is widely available - just plug it into jq. You're still working on the same level of abstraction (shell pipes), but easily dealing with complex byte streams.

And of course, what we understand as "text" in the modern era, are UTF8-encoded byte streams. If your "text" kit deals with ASCII rather than Unicode runes, it's that much less powerful, and likely full of painful edge cases that you now have to debug. (Note that UTF is a 1992 thing, it's been invented when UNIX was 20-something yro, and it's been around for 30+ years.)

Debuggability of anything is entirely up to your toolkit, the quality and comprehensiveness of that toolkit is what decides the battle.
this is the fundamental of gold price going up(relatively, dollar price going down)

the difference is, central banks are buying golds, but not bitcoins
Interestingly this is the problem we initially tried to solve. We build a Kubernetes Operator (back in the day in Kotlin) that does the full life cycle management of these kind of apps. Including management of CRs for database upgrades etc.

This project still runs at customers in production, but ultimately - as you pointed out - individual configurations became to big of a problem as it was not feasible to build a new operator versions for configuration deviations. It was a a fun project though: https://github.com/glasskube/operator
> The key factor that distinguishes gold from Bitcoin is that it is used and reserved by sovereign nations.

The US government holds ~200,000 bitcoins. Market value: $20,981,980,000

The US government holds 261,498,926 troy oz of gold. Market value: $11,041,059,957

So the US already has more 'value' in bitcoin than gold.
This is not quite correct. Ollama must assess the state of Vulkan support and amount of available memory, then pick the fraction of the model to be hosted on GPU. This is not totally foolproof and will likely always need manual adjustment in some cases.

It may be easy to get mad as the Republicans for this, but there’s a clear bipartisan precedent here. Remember DACA? Might have been a good policy if Congress had enacted it. Bad precedent as an executive action though, because it establishes that the president’s ability to make immigration policy is effectively unlimited. Today’s ICE raids are made possible by DACA.

Mind Hacks Hackathon
Understanding and predicting human behaviour is a crucial yet unsolved scientific challenge. Because human behaviour shapes our world, the lack of tools to accurately predict it creates uncertainty and hinders progress in areas such as expanding opportunity, driving economic growth, and addressing global challenges like trafficking and climate change.

Join us for Mind Hacks, Electric Twin’s Hackathon which will challenge participants to apply machine learning to real-world problems by focusing on one of four missions: trafficking, food waste, education or housing crisis.

I've been stuck down the Casio modding rabbit hole as of late. I knew filling the watch with oil ('hydro-mod') lead to a crisper display with better viewing angles and increased water resistance, but to see a watch with minor splash resistance operate as such depths is insane.

Worth mentioning some drawbacks before you get your precision screwdrivers out. Doing it will make your watch get stupidly hot in the sun, the process can be messy, and sometimes certain mechanisms/features can break as a result of it. Best to check what others have done before you.
~360GB/s memory bandwidth on the 3060, versus ~1008GB/s on the 3090 Ti probably accounts for that.

Given that, I'd expect a single 3060 (if a large enough one existed) to run at about 16 tok/s so 20 tok/s on two isn't bad not being NVLinked.
