I didn't understand your comment first, because I use a password manager which generates a unique and complicated password for each website I setup an account for. So I never reuse any password. So if one one those sites gets hacked and my password is potentially exposed, it doesn't matter, because I only use that password there.

I would recommend that. Bitwarden is a pretty good open-source password manager. You can install it as a plugin in your browser, so it can fill out your password for you so you don't have to manually copy and paste.

> Those who have paid even passing attention to modern productivity software will recognize the language and aim of Agenda, a project from more than 30 years ago, and therefore the broad endeavor of saving time, breaking silos, and endlessly iterating on what essentially amounts to the same few products, over and over, decade after decade.

Despite the posted title, this article is really about productivity apps and the people who use them. For each new app, they hope that this one will finally be the one that magically makes them "productive" where all the previous ones have failed. It then goes on to speculate on why they would do so and subsequently veers off into tangents on bullshit jobs, the role of middle managers in startups and (through a somewhat tortured metaphor of gaming as self-actualization) the role of leisure in the modern economy.

Fun article but not really about product hunt after the first few paragraphs.

Ask HN: I'm moving on from Micro. Does anyone want the domain micro.dev?
Hey all

The tldr. I spent 10 years working on an open source project called Micro. In that time I purchased the domain micro.dev. Rather than letting it expire I thought I'd see if there's anyone here who wants it? Or has some sort of relevant use for it.
agreed. that's err on my part to mention it like that. more evidence suggest that they were working on similar stuff but now the cat is out of the bag and open source got a win.

Sounds like performance is the biggest issue. I'm guessing the macros need to run after every keystroke. That creates big time constraint that while nice it's not really needed.

Due to AOT compilation, some form of (pre)compile time code generation is needed, but it doesn't need to be macros. It doesn't need to be instantaneous, but it also shouldn't take minutes.

Adding features directly into the language removes the need for some code generation.

Augmentations will already make code generation much nicer to use.

build_runner needs to become more integrated so that IDEs would read build_runner's config and run it automatically.

What good engineers do is click the "topological optimization" button on their physical simulator, and then they build the machine according to the plan the computer make.

Do you really think deep-seek can't use your COMSOL or Ansys multiphysics tool ?

> Eventually, however, HudZah wore Claude down. He filled his Project with the e-mail conversations he’d been having with fusor hobbyists, parts lists for things he’d bought off Amazon, spreadsheets, sections of books and diagrams. HudZah also changed his questions to Claude from general ones to more specific ones. This flood of information and better probing seemed to convince Claude that HudZah did know what he was doing, and the AI began to give him detailed guidance on how to build a nuclear fusor and how not to die while doing it.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.

For T1Ds, you pretty much constantly have to monitor your blood glucose level. I used to use a Pebble for this, now I use an Apple Watch. The Apple Watch backgrounds the monitoring all the damn time, so I have to click multiple buttons and wait to see my blood sugar, when the number is immediately available on my phone (the watch didn’t used to be this bad). The entire point of this hardware project is eliminating that latency.
Well yes, I did mention cost (of course only if we exclude most externalities) which was the primary longterm factor.

But the mass psychosis after Three Mile Island and then Chernobyl made nuclear expansion very expensive politically and financially (of course not saying that all of the additional safety regulations which inflated costs were not necessary). It would be rather silly to claim that it didn’t tip the scales at all.

The hope, then, was to quickly obtain an industrial breeder reactor in order to considerably reduce (or even suppress any) dependency towards uranium providers (there is no known similar trick for oil/methane).

Whilst this is true, the civil service has been alleged to leak/ brief against such orders, not to mention be obstructive about their implementation.

US companies will want to have consumers

Consumers who can pay. If Europe falls behind and does not have the capability to produce goods or services that are in demand in the US and China, the European consumers might want those US/China products and services, but they can't pay them.

Look at the German automotive industry. Once they produced something the world wanted. Will they still do that in the age of electric autonomy?

Except for ASML's technology, which competitive advantage does the European industry have to stay relevant in international trade?
Where Is SW Development Going? • Fowler, Cummins, Gee, Terhorst-North and Farley [video]
As someone who owns a Model 3, I hate how Musk constantly comes up when talking about the car (and never in a positive light). Frankly I find the brand so damaged now because of his behavior, that this will be my last Tesla. I don't want to be pushed into an "right wing" category simply because of a purchase decision I made 5 years ago.

Sure there are other factors, such as more competition, and overall a slowdown of adoption of EV cars, but I have am fairly certain that Musk is one of the big factors of this sales drop. Price/value wise I still find Teslas incredibly attractive. This would be an interesting topic for a big survey if my opinion is in any way representative.
> There is no test- they interview you and other people in your life to see if you have the symptoms or not.

This isn't universally true. Over here the evaluation lasts around 6 hours spread over 4 appointments with a specialist (a clinical psychologist) and consists of interviews, questionnaires, and a number of (stress) tests of your focus, impulsivity, and short term memory.

At this point, what I'm afraid is the justice system will be just an instrument in this all Us vs. Them debate, so their decisions will not be bound by law or legality.

Speculations aside, from what I understood, something like this shouldn't hold a drop of water under fair-use doctrine, because there's a disproportional damage, plus a huge monopolistic monetary gain because of what they did and how they did.

On the other hand, I don't believe that Deepseek used OpenAI (in any capacity or way or method) to develop their models, but again, it doesn't matter how they did it in this current conjecture.

What they successfully did was to upset a bunch of high level people, regardless of the technical things they achieved.

IMHO, AI war has similar dynamics to MAD. The best way is not to play, but we are past the Rubicon now. Future looks dirty.

This wasn't meant as a jab at Clojure (or Jank for that matter). That language and its ecosystem has heavily shaped and influenced me early on in my career to the point where I'm essentially writing Datascript in Rust (https://trible.space).

My point was that ownership has become a language feature that I expect, like lexical scope has become a language feature that most people expect.

It complements persistent immutable data-structures extremely well, especially in terms of performance via automatic transient-ication, and if you're operating in the native space I can't imagine that performance isn't on top of the list.

So in that sense, great language, please consider evolving beyond Clojure (archaic?) ownership model, because I'm pretty tired of Rusts bloated syntax and lovecraftian macro system.

Tesla is great in few areas but overall it’s such a crappy car so no wonder germans caught up to it, they do have a bit of an option with their own cars.
Well, I don't think there was any consensus. Atari played on this with the "ST" (for sixteen/thirty-two) product label. From the software side it was 32bit. The flat, huge (at that time) address space made things so much easier (compared to the awful segmentation of the Intel CPUs then). That the ALU was just 16bits meant that some operations took longer than one would have liked, but was otherwise of no concern. No "far pointers" or any such crutches.
Until you start working on a code base made for something local only and with domain specific words. So much joy trying to remember how some word was translated for your code when a user reports a bug or ask for some new feature.

Bonus point when the people who decided to use English words are also all proud of their "DDD" architecture.
Embeddings based RSS recommendation system
About a year ago I created rssfilter to help me out catching up with my RSS feeds.

I was getting too many new posts per day from HN and other sites and started not enjoying it as much. I wanted to have 50% of the posts but missing out as little as possible about the topics I'm most interested in.

After a year using it, I'm pretty satisfied about the results and other users are too.

How rssfilter works is by being a proxy to your existing RSS subscriptions. It replaces the article links to a redirect that stores what articles you open. This information is what's used for the recommendations.

The embeddings of your read articles title and description are clustered. And from then on, you will only get 50% of the articles from all feeds, mostly what's closest to your areas of interest but also some percentage of unfiltered posts to allow for discovery.

It can be self hosted and there is also a live version that I host. No registry, the user ID is just a random UUID.

You can also use the API (FastAPI btw) directly: https://rssfilter.sgn.space/api/docs

Let me know if you like it!
interestingly that hasn't been my experience. did you use their web interface or the API?

I'm not sure how... likely that is? Like, is the California electorate particularly enamoured of the LLM-flogging mega-corps, such that they would do their bidding in this way?

Like, if the reasoning is "we should recall them because they were mean to the lovely companies :(" then I'd expect the average person to say, broadly, "good" and vote against recall. 'AI' is not particularly popular with the public.

I know this is not getting much attention on HN as everyone seems to be focusing on DeepSeek. But I am surprised to learn Microsoft increased their revenue again.

I am somehow forever so lack of imagination and failed to see how on earth could M$ continue to grow. As if the market is infinitely big.

To put things in perspective, Microsoft Annual Revenue in 2024 is double of what they had in 2019.

I honestly think most people don't care. Especially to cause a 41% drop.. If someone calls me a nazi in the LIDL car park for driving a Tesla I'd honestly think it's because of my shiny bald head, not the car.
The scenario to which I was alluding assumed the latter (2) and, further, that OpenAI was unable to prevent that—either technically or legally (i.e. via IP protection).

More specifically, on the legal side I don't see how they can protect their output without stepping on their own argument for ingesting everyone else's. And, if that were to indeed prove impossible, then that would be the catastrophic scenario.

On your point (1), I don't think that's necessarily catastrophic. That's just good old-fashioned competition, and OpenAI would have to simply best them on R&D.

Yes, no one has money and electricity prices are too high. We all know of course what could fix the German energy crisis. The German party that Musk supports polls at 22% and wishes to reopen Nord Stream.

The rising popularity scares the established parties enough to suddenly support immigration controls. Also, suddenly Denmark gave a permit to Russia to seal Nord Stream 2 and possibly repair it. Naturally this is opposed by Poland, who wants to dismantle Nord Stream completely while keeping its own transit pipelines intact. The hypocrisy in the oil/gas business knows no bounds.

Sometimes different modes like that can be more hassle than they are worth, from the dev point of view. You can end up with many more paths to test in order to try make sure your product is bug free.

> It's quite common knowledge in the gamedev world (at least the part that writes C++ code, the other parts that uses C# or JS has roughly the same problem, just caused by unpredictable GC behaviour).

Isn't it pretty common in gamedev to use bump allocators in a pool purely because of this. Actually isn't that pretty common in a lot of performance critical code because it is significantly more efficient?

I feel like RAII doesn't cause this, RAII solves resource leaks but if you turn off you brain you are still going to have the same issue in C. I mean how common is it in C to have a END: or FREE: or CLEANUP: label with a goto in a code path. That also is an allocation and a free in a scope just like you would have in C++...
