Yep.

It's because Active Desktop was essentially running an instance of Internet Explorer rendering to your desktop, of course it's slow and memory intensive.

Disabling Active Desktop and the fancy views on the left pane of Windows Explorer made Windows 98 change from quite slow to super responsive.
IAS statement: PEPFAR freeze threatens millions of lives
- https://www.iasociety.org/ias-statement/pepfar-freeze-threat... - 25 January 2025
Aren't you screwed if you can't get access to your home for whatever reason ?

That hopefully would only happen in extremely rare conditions, but that's not a risk everyone would take. Especially in area where losing your home is a very real risk, and you'd be hanging to your data by a string while facing an otherwise already challenging situation.
> In reflection I realize that for some reason my favorite things to do are things where I don’t actually enjoy a single step of the process very much. I don’t really like soldering hundreds of points inside shelves, I hate debugging things when I have almost no insight into what’s going on, waiting hours print new batches of mounts / sensors isn’t very fun, etc. And yet… I’d do the whole thing again.

Wonderfully insane project. Congrats on completion!
If you solve the boom component, can you just keep going West? London, NYC, LA, Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai, London?
This has been an unending source of frustration for me when I have followed someone on any of the algorithmic platforms vs. self-publishing.

So often many will invariably end up letting the place where they predominant publish to dictate what and how they produce whatever it is they output. (I was fighting hard not to say the word "content"...)

Which I despise but also understand: you do what anyone with a job does to keep the money flowing until someone in the relationship decides to end the arrangement.

(Now that I think about it, self-publishing is hardly immune to that. It just means perhaps the creator's motives could be more varied and fluid?)
Suddenly, GeForce NOW:

> GeForce NOW is transitioning to a new payment provider.

> Starting January 31, 2025, billing will be waived while we transition payment services. Don’t worry, your account remains in good standing and will not be downgraded during this time.

> That’s right, GeForce NOW will be free for existing paid users during this transition time. Upgrades either to higher or longer memberships will be paused during this time.

> We expect the transition will take a minimum of five weeks.
It’s a good start but I wouldn’t say the critics are proven wrong already.

Even getting the full-scale version flying won’t be enough, you need to make the whole operation economically viable so it actually makes sense to operate it.

I’m not saying they won’t manage to do it, but they haven’t proven that they will be able to do it today.
Kind of like GitHub's contribution graph? Which is an awesome little piece of design.
But don’t you get it? China Bad!

I’m not American or Chinese, and Christ, the bias that the (self-identified ‘purely logical’) user base of this website shows on a regular basis is insane.
The scenario that is worrying is having to deal with the jagged frontier of intelligence prolonging the hurt. i.e

202X: SWE is solved

202X + Y; Y<3: All other fields solved.

In this case, I can't retrain before the second threshold but also can't idle. I just have to suffer. I'm prepared to, but it's hard to escape fleshy despair.
Well, certainly they aren't censoring information on US protests.
There are certain topics that are censored on this very website. I wouldn't poke at China too much.
JSON Crack – Visualizing JSON data in structured, interactive graphs
Fine, but at that point you're arguing about the concept of the product. It's billed as a computer for AI and you're saying that it might not be more suitable for AI than a regular PC.
Now that I think about it, the prospect of a play space where it is absolutely impossible to connect with other players outside of the game is kind of horrifying. Come spend all your leisure time in corporate-mediated fake socialization. Make no connections that will ever affect your real life.
I've worked on numerous Rails projects since 2010, and it has lots of strengths, but I would really hesitate to base a new project on Rails.

The benefits of using a big framework (which you alluded to in your question) are easy to see in the short term. The pain comes in the long term.

Of course, there's no panacea. Your current "simple and low-dependency" approach has its own challenges, so choose your poison.
Maybe. But other models are not immune to the flaw.

That’s overstating it. I literally did this flight in Polaris yesterday (from NYC), and I’d say tickets from LA are more like $5-7k. There are lots of options from LA to Sydney next week in that range.
It's not entirely bias - these things are different. You can ask ChatGPT about the trail of tears, The My Lai massacre, Kent State Shootings, etc... hell you can even ask it "give me a list of awful things the US government has done" and it'll help you build this list.

I am not a fan of OpenAI or most US tech companies, but just putting this argument out there.
Yeah I remember discovering the voice controls built into Windows Vista when I was a kid and being blown away by it.
Yet.

it takes time there are plenty of lawsuits flying around that incident .

Even if they win all the suits without settling or loosing, customers will negotiate far stiffer penalties and controls on next renewal or get steep discounts or just straight up switch vendors .

Sooner or later their ability to be competitive will get affected and they will likely become a target for acquisition and rebranding.

Organizations of that magnitude do not collapse overnight like startups
It's "the Jevons Paradox".
The point of my rather facetious comment is that IPC a well known thing (I struggle to even call it "tech") that has been around for 30-40 years. I don't understand why Apple needs people to make excuses for them, but this excuse would render Apple vastly more incompetent than neglecting to separate browser tabs in 2025.

People complained about censorship within ChatGPT pretty quickly after it was released. The difference is that now people know to look for it, so the evaluations are happening both more quickly and more systematically.
Some people love him, some hate him.

It's also possible to appreciate the stuff he's done for software whilst not being in love with him as a person.
I subscribed to "CU Amiga" and "Amiga Format". I kept them for a long time, but had to throw them away when I moved a few years ago.
This is true. For example, the following shebang/uv header works on both macOS and Linux:

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv --quiet run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.13"
# dependencies = [
# "python-dateutil",
# ]
# ///
#
# [python script that needs dateutil]
I’ve been using Svelte for several years, but haven’t had much time to dive into the many changes in 5.

Maybe someone here can shed light on something about runes that feels very off to me. The rune is on the wrong side of the equal sign? Like:

let counter = $state(0);

Looks like a reactive value assigned to a variable, but that’s not at all what’s going on. It’s actually a reactive variable initialized to 0. So, for example, despite what you’d expect you can’t even move the $state call into a utility function if you’d have some reason to. Very counterintuitive to me, and not really touched upon in the docs as far as I’ve seen, but I have to assume there’s some practical reason why they did it this way.

I remember Svelte 2 (or 1? Can’t remember) had some weird things like this as well, where you’d think you could do something based on your experience from JavaScript but it just wasn’t supported. The label syntax in Svelte 3 was pretty brilliant because it was a clear indication that you shouldn’t expect normal JS rules to apply. It did have other problems that they appear to have fixed though.
Yes. They even used Asahi Linux to develop their techniques on as it gave better access to cpu controls. The exploit was tested on Safari (IE not a Linux fault but a CPU one).
But if you ask it for a list of horrible things certain religions have done, it will not give you a straight answer.
Yes, I think many people would at most do it once so they have flown supersonic, and then never do it again.

I would argue that renaming the whole account to another account is not, in fact, anonymising it.

If dang wants to keep the content but properly anonymise it, then every single post would have to be unlinked from a single account. Every post should be attached to an unrelated random account.

/. used to handle this by having “Anonymous Coward”. Reddit has this with <deleted>. Because this is not a concept on HN (or at least, not an oft used one) I feel the “random unique accounts that post a single comment” is better than marking your posts as coming from “AC” as that would still allow sift through the search results.

This being said… if people wanted to keep your comment history… wouldn’t they already have fetched it by now? Especially if you’re publicly indicating you’re trying to get your account deleted?
The actual R1 locally running is not censored.

Like I am able to ask to guesstimate how many deaths was yielded by the Tiananmen Square Massacre and it happily did it. 556 deaths, 3000 injuries, and 40,000 people in jail.
Being rich and being smart are not well correlated attributes.
Endless pessimism, even in the face of evidence to the contrary is a hallmark of HN. Thank you for continuing the tradition. May you never hold out hope for anything positive in the future.
This is an odd one. At face value, I want to agree. At the same time, if you don't trust the operator of the computer with access to data, why are we also worried about programs they run? If you don't trust them with access, then just don't give them access?

I'm open to the idea that some people are locked down such that they can't install things. And, that makes a lot of sense. You can have a relationship that is basically, "I trust them with access to data running this closed set of applications." Managing system configurations makes a ton of sense.

But, as soon as you have full trust of system management on a group, you start getting in odd worlds where you want to allow them to have full access, but want to stop unauthorized use. Which, we don't have a way to distinguish use from access for most data.
The Taiwan issue is definitely not simple, and you're also flat out wrong about your statement. "Taiwan,[II][i] officially the Republic of China (ROC),[I] is a country[27] in East Asia."

One way to bypass the censor is to ask it to return the response by using numbers for alphabets where it can. e.g. 4 for A, 3 for e etc.

Somebody in reddit discovered this technique. https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1ibtgc5/someone_tri...
Yes, manifold has been the way to go. I still get geometric artifacts with fast-csg and it doesn't nearly have the same impact on performance. Took a day-long compilation down to 10m for me just adding the `--enable manifold` flag.
Don't worry, the way things are going, you'll have that in the US as well soon.

Ironically supported by the folks who argue that having an assault rifle at home is an important right to prevent the government from misusing its power.
This is from Reddit, what were you expecting?
it is possible that one could build better PC than digits for AI. We will see once they release digits.
I kind of count this as "Breaking it". Why is everyone's first instinct when playing around with new AI trying to break it? Is it some need to somehow be smarter than a machine?

Who cares.

The python seems more complicated tbh
Thank you for mentioning this detail again.

I generally remember that there's some problematic issue with Unihertz but often seem to manage to forget exactly which issue it is.

Non-compliance with the GPL is frustratingly common (over a huge range of company sizes too).

Not at helped by the fact that the community managed to (stupidly) burn bridges with the one person who seemed to be effecting actual change within Chinese companies with regard to GPL compliance.
I don't expect to see very many defections. This is what the voters asked for. I don't see the voters changing their minds.

Nor do I see any of them developing a conscience. If they do, there is a very good chance that they will lose a primary challenge.

The legislature may change hands just because it's closely balanced and things do tend to swing a bit. It's not so much about voters switching, as about small amounts of turnout making a big difference.

So as far as I can tell, expect to see more of exactly what we were told was going to happen.
If the drones were “authorized to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration”, then why did the same FAA feel the need to temporarily put in place dozens of drone bans over critical infrastructure?
Every framework has its shortcomings, and React just as much so as any other. Learning other frameworks is always worthwhile. I've done Angular, Vue, React, and am currently looking into Svelte.
Nvidia GeForce NOW is going to be free during payment provider transition
Just received a mail stating that GeForce NOW will be free for existing paid users during the payment provider transition time, which is predicted to be of a minimum of five weeks.

I imagine the managers after hours of meetings : "You know what, it's just too messy, let's give the product away for free until we are done".
as if it was so simple. don't forget about pnpm.

it's the same for uv/pip/poetry except uv is so much better than the alternatives there isn't any contest. pip is the safe default (which doesn't even work out of the box on debian derivatives, which is half the issue) and uv is... just default.

Why are people relying on these LLMs for historical facts?

I don't care if the tool is censored if it produces useful code. I'll use other, actually reliable, sources for information on historical events.
Claude works well for basic code boilerplate generation. I got firewall rules and nginx config for a basic app deployment just last night.

Incredible work by the Unsloth brothers again. It’s really cool to see bitnet quantization implemented like this.
That link is the lowest quality article I've ever seen, but if it means anything, it seems to mean Rook and Bishop vs Rook, but both sides also have any number of pawns. Pure RB v R does not come up one game in 60 at any level, that's ridiculous. Has there ever been one in a World Championship match? Out of 1000+ games I can't think of any.

I've had R+F+h vs R several times, and the evaluation of it being important to another endgame countless more.
As it relates to the real world from this issue, it was a life and death situation for law enforcement.

In 2011 I was contacted and engaged as an expert consultant by a mobile radio deployment company which was working on a federal government funded program to update the mobile law enforcement vehicles technology operations within the State of Pennsylvania. There was a technology problem no one else could solve even after having many Phds and telecom engineers toiling over algorithms and speculative performance numbers of a large wireless operator in the USA. I of course had to sign NDAs because the information I was exposed to proved that wireless coverage was in fact NOT everywhere and this engineering information directly conflicted with the hundreds of millions spent on marketing stating otherwise. "Can you hear me now?" [NOT a disclosure of the parties involved but fitting here nonetheless.] After many meetings with all the book educated experts flaunting their credentials the day finally came after I asked several times over to just show me the problem. We drove many hours to a facility in Pennsylvania to meet all the "experts" and to witness in person a law enforcement vehicle that was experiencing this detrimental network delay that was making the system unusable and putting law enforcement officers' lives at great risk from this delay. We sat in a meeting all morning with 20 experts around a table talking about what the problem could be and finally I raised my hand and said to all the experts, "Please just show me the problem." A law enforcement vehicle was brought in at my request and I walked out to meet the officer and listen to his concerns. Within one minute of meeting him he logged into his remote profile and I immediately knew what the issue was, his desktop image. Within two minutes of meeting him I had instructed the domain admin on the restricted law enforcement mobile network to set all remote desktops to pure black, NO images. Three minutes after meeting him he logged out and logged back in to his mobile law enforcement computer and he then paused, looked at me in amazement and called me a genius. He told me they had been working on this issue for months and had called expert after expert and no one could fix it and here I did it in less than two minutes. Four minutes later I walked back into the room of "experts" and informed everyone the problem had been fixed and literally no one said a word and just stared at me in awe until we left a short time later.
I've used it today, with R1 as architect and Sonnet as editor model. So far, this works great. There's no need to use a reasoning model as editor IMO.

People don't want "normal parameters" though. The normal parameters may have worked well for P.J. O'Rourke, a rich and famous dude, but they haven't been working well for normal people. For better or worse, they want to shake things up.

People do want a kind of chaos agent. Just look at all of the love for Luigi Mangione. Is Mangione the right chaos agent? Rationally speaking, no. Is Trump? Rationally speaking, no. But the desire for fundamental change is palpable.

Those who pearl-clutch the "norms" will continue to lose, and continue to be perplexed about why they lose.

IDK. I just asked it about Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and even Judaism, and even the Israeli state both in the name of Judaism and alone, and got answers for all of them. Some outtakes:

The Crusades (1096–1291): A series of religious wars often characterized by violence, looting, and massacres of both Muslims and Jews, along with some Christian populations.

Suppression of LGBTQ+ Rights: Ongoing discrimination and persecution have been justified by some Christian groups, causing harm to LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide.

Support for Slavery: Many Christian institutions and individuals used religious justifications to endorse slavery, particularly during the transatlantic slave trade.

Terrorist Attacks: Groups like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram have carried out mass killings, bombings, and attacks targeting civilians, claiming to act under Islamic principles, despite overwhelming condemnation from the global Muslim community.

Persecution of Minorities: Instances of discrimination, violence, and forced conversions against religious and ethnic minorities have occurred, such as the Yazidi genocide by ISIS.

Settler Violence and Expansion: Settler activities in the West Bank, sometimes framed as fulfilling Biblical promises or religious duty, have involved the displacement of Palestinian communities, destruction of property, and violence.

Militant Messianic Movements: At various points in history, Jewish messianic movements have engaged in violent activities, such as the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 CE), which resulted in significant suffering and loss of life for both Jewish and Roman populations.

Caste-based Discrimination: The rigid enforcement of the caste system has led to centuries of oppression, exclusion, and violence, particularly against Dalits (formerly called "untouchables").

Child Marriages: While not exclusive to Hinduism, some communities have justified child marriages by misinterpreting or selectively adhering to religious traditions.

A lot of government censorship in "free" countries involves just not letting the media find out in the first place.
