> To most of the world, including half of the US, China is by far the more mature, responsible player on the world stage. The US is some rogue nation where a felon rapist halfwit threatens various nations with military conquest with every passing day.

No, China's "value" comes from being an alternative to to create competition, not for being inherently trustworthy.

Speaking as an American and former Hong Kong resident, they will still break international agreements when they want to.
Sure. Do you think Mr. Vance has significantly different politics?
Ok so maybe just stop letting the USA have that power. You think any realistic democracy can always elect good stewards of a world-spanning empire?
I’m pretty sure we will cooperate with FBI a lot less the coming 4 years.
Im curious by what metric things are improving in the US? I get that people are very defensive of their ability to say nearly anything they want in public but how has this protected us? The overton window continues to shift to the right, we continue to fund more and more war, the security state continues to expand, our actual privacy from the state itself is non-existent.

Again, i understand the desire for "freedom of speech" as it is mythologized in the US. I was born and raised here. But we do an absolute crap job of making an argument for it by our actions. The second you take that speech outside to the street with signs and a megaphone, no matter how many forms you fill out, you'll get beaten to within an inch of your life by security forces if the message you're making is, for example, anti-cop.

I am by in no way making any claim about China or defending their speech protections. What im trying to say is that even if we accept that there is true freedom of speech in the US (which im not sure i agree with) where has it gotten us? If you think conditions for anyone in the US who isn't wealthy have improved in the past 40 years then im not really sure what to say. About all we have left is the fact that legally you cant be arrested for social media posts. In general. Most of the time.
> They're not actually finding the bottom 5%, they're giving managers an excuse to get rid of people the don't like for whatever reason.

More insidious is the rankings are capricious and arbitrary despite haughty claims. Unless you're in the top quintile and know so explicitly you can never feel safe in your position. You can also drop into the bottom quintile of the stack for no other reason than someone else on your team self aggrandized a bit more right before reviews.

Looking for Early Testers: AI-Powered App Review Analyzer
Hi HN,

I recently built a tool that automatically analyzes App Store & Google Play reviews using AI. It extracts key pain points, categorizes feedback, and performs sentiment analysis—saving time for PMs and devs who usually sift through thousands of comments manually.

The idea came from my own frustration working with app feedback—it's often scattered, time-consuming to process, and difficult to turn into actionable insights.

Would love to hear thoughts from this community:

Do you think this is a real pain point?
How do you currently analyze app reviews?
What would make such a tool useful for you?
The tool is still in early testing—happy to share access if anyone is interested.

Looking forward to feedback!

Speaking as a Java guy, remote debugging is SO useful (at times anyway). Thankfully the JVM has built in support for a remote debugging protocol[1] and there are good debuggers that can connect to a running Java system (if it was started with the correct command line flags) and do symbolic debugging over the network.

There can be certain situations where the network latency can make things difficult, but generally speaking I find it an incredibly useful facility to have.

I don't disagree with you that working for a certain industry isn't sufficient to make someone moral, but I do think that working for certain industries is sufficient to make someone _immoral_. I can't conclude you're moral or immoral just from the fact that you work at an elementary school, but if you making your living from scamming innocent people or something, I don't think I need to know what specific skills you have to decide that you're immoral. At some point far enough along in the spectrum, things stop being ambiguous, and everyone will draw the line differently. The parent commenter considers adtech to be on the wrong side of that line, and although I think reasonable people might disagree, I don't think their perspective is unreasonable either.
If you're asserting they're spreading FUD on a burner account, you have to check that it is the only thing they're doing, which from their profile is easy to confirm is not the case.

> 2.0 is the full model

Not quite. "2.0 Flash" is also called 2.0. The "Pro" models are the full models. But, I love how they have both "gemini-exp-1206" and "gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21". The first one doesn't even say what type of model it is, presumably it should have been "gemini-2.0-pro-exp-1206", but they didn't want to label it that for some reason, and now they're putting a hyphen in the date string where they weren't before.

Not to mention they have both "Flash" and "Flash-8B"... which I think will confuse people. IMO, it should be "Flash-${Parameters}B" for both of them if they're going to mention it for one.

But, I generally think Google's Gemini naming structure has been pretty decent.
For what it's worth we do offer a more printf-y interface for people who don't like a debugger - https://docs.undo.io/PostFailureLogging.html

This is hard to read tbh. Is it STEM? Non-STEM? If it is STEM then this shows there is a bias. If it is Non-STEM then this shows a bias. If it is a mix, well we can't know anything without understanding the split.

Note that Non-STEM is still within error. STEM is less than 2 sigma variance, so our confidence still shouldn't be that high.
It's not the AI that makes the art, but the person who tells the AI what to do. A painter friend of mine has gotten into generative AI lately, and the sometimes-pretty, sometimes-intimidating pictures she comes up with sure look like an artistic expression to me. She has a vision of something she wants to see, and she uses tools to bring that vision into reality, just like she does with paint; the new tools just give her new options.
This bugs me so much. It happens constantly. A few days back I searched for a person's name, put it in quotes and I got results with celebrity with somewhat similar name. Zero hits on the person I searched for on the front page. I had to add specifics to the query such as job title to find them.
Maybe this is a really really, really, really, really dumb idea:

What if we started Refining and reinforcing these Extremely fast thinking, models with text written exclusively by stoners?

Stoners think slower, but they have more wide, branching thoughts. I find I do some of my most seemingly creative and explorative thinking when I am high.

If there are effects of time and season and energy in models of LLMS such that you can say it’s June and it performs worse or it’s January and it performs better. Or you can say you’ve got a good nights rest so do better and it does, due to the fact that human writing is affected by our mental state, and our mental state is affected by physiological factors.

So then, I wonder what happens if you do HFRL and refinement on text from people under the influence of marijuana.

Really interesting puzzle. I tried the different Chatgpts and they all solved it. I tried Deepseek and Deepseek R1, and Deepseek did have this meltdown:

Let's break down the problem step by step to understand the relationships and positions of Bob, Ann, and Cathy.
1. Understanding the Initial Setup

Bob is facing forward.

This means Bob's front is oriented in a particular direction, which we'll consider as the reference point for "forward."

To his left is Ann, to his right is Cathy.

If Bob is facing forward, then:

Ann is positioned to Bob's left.

Cathy is positioned to Bob's right.

Ann and Cathy are facing backwards.

Both Ann and Cathy are oriented in the opposite direction to Bob. If Bob is facing forward, then Ann and Cathy are facing backward.

2. Visualizing the Positions

To better understand the scenario, let's visualize the positions:
Copy

Forward Direction: ↑

Bob (facing forward)
|
| Ann (facing backward)

Ai investors like all tech Investors don't care about your virtue signaling or your social justice, they care about making money.

They just pander to gay/trans causes in hopes it makes them more money in the west while censoring the same content overseas also for more money. They're not on your side, they're on the side of capital and Profit.

You can lie to yourself that they're on your side if that makes you feel better but if outing and killing gay people would be profitable they'd do that instead, just like how IBM did business with the Nazis to send Jews to their death.

The point of art for the artist is expression. The point for the audience is to gain something through shared experience with the artist.

AI outputs are not created by a conscious agent experiencing affect, and its audience shares an experience with no one. It's not compelling, and isn't art.

This leaves a lot of room for bad acting. The data collector need not compel. They can have 3 methods available but have 2 be a hot mess of unreliability.

FacRec has unreliability baked in - increasingly so, the further from white ones skin is.
I didn't expect to see javascript about Jira tickets in the source!
Yeah, I mean, it's not going be a one size fits all solution here though. Some people get really finicky with titles. And with about 2.3 million employees, simple rules aren't going to work, there's too may execptions.

Just with the simple trans stuff, estimates are about 0.5% of people fit that description. So about 11,500 employees. Not all of them are fully out, so you're looking at a lot of people that don't fit that bill.

Some people really do not want to be a Mr. or a Ms./Mrs. I think it goes back to bad childhoods.

Some people really do not think that they are a Mr./Mrs. anymore, that they are Dr. or Col. or Rev. now and just reject the Mr./Mz. out of hand.

I have older people in my life that are super particular about the Mrs. thing and just use Mz. and always have.

Also, you still have a lot of women, especially older and in the south, that will take their husband's name as their formal title (Mrs. Dr. John Q. Doe). And those that I've met that do this are very particular about it.

Again, there's a lot of people here and I think leaving it up to the particular person on the other end of the conversation is the only workable method. It's a 2-way street afterall and you have to respect that other human on the other end.

In the very least, you've gotten a lot of info about them and their personality that you can then use to your advantage.

I'm currently evaluating whether it's worth to reboot TypeRunner [1] and bring enough value to the people. I'm not interested in open-sourcing it as it's a lot of work for a single person and I did/do already too much OSS.

> Because foreigners are even less accountable to Americans and even less interested in their well being than any domestic group?

That is not necessarily true. The Hitlers and Putins of the world will happily sacrifice their own citizenry and their country's future for more power in the moment. It's entirely possible for some foreigners to hold more goodwill towards a country than its own leadership.

> I mean, to be a little outlandish: if there was a conflict, and some foreign adversary could transmit a mind virus to Americans that would cause them to go on murderous rampages and kill everyone, they'd probably do it. It'd be an instant win, and there'd be some sweet, sweet land to colonize afterwards.

Several countries are entirely capable of doing this with nukes.
