It's not perfect, but I'm very productive and happy using it.

Windows 11 Pro on my Dell Latitude 5540 and it's a rock solid experience.

I on principle always format my disk drive when getting a new PC and reinstall using an ISO downloaded from Microsoft to ensure no OEM software is on them. For my Dell the only thing I install is "Dell Command | Update" (not to be confused with Dell SupportAssist which is crap targeting general consumers). It's for updating drivers and firmware and it does absolutely no nonsense, only prompting me when a driver or firmware update is available.

I use no third-party anti-malware, no "corporate management software", just Windows Defender, but with Dev Drive and exclusions to my working directories so everything is very fast for my development work with Visual Studio.

My work is mostly developing for .NET and Electron which works on Linux and macOS as well. WSL with Visual Studio is super impressive that I can seamlessly debug processes running under WSL from normal Visual Studio. For Electron / NodeJS debugging I can use VS Code which also supports debugging processes running under WSL.

I have done two registry tweaks to Windows 11 to remove a couple of annoyances:

- I've turned off the "simplified" context menu which shows by default in Windows Explorer, otherwise most of what I need is hidden behind an extra click of my mouse.

- I've turned off internet search results from showing on the Start Menu. This is a huge quality of life improvement, I've never ever cared for searching outside of my web browser and it makes the Start Menu super responsive and stops it showing web results above stuff on my local computer which was what I was looking for.

(As a side remark, I was very happy when I only somewhat recently worked out how to get iOS to stop showing web search results when I search my home screen for apps, that was a huge annoyance as I only want to search for apps on my phone by name and often it would show web searches over a locally installed app name.)

People constantly complain here about all the adverts on Windows 11. I honestly don't get any adverts, maybe it's because I'm in South Africa and not the US (marketing sounds like it's beyond obnoxious there). I think it came pre-installed (even when installing with the ISO downloaded from MS) with a few rubbish Windows Store apps (like Candy Crush), but I uninstalled them normally and nothing ever came back. I also use OneDrive already (which integrates really nicely with Windows), maybe if I didn't have it set up, Windows would be bugging me about it.

Really, everything just works seamlessly for me.
DeepSeek's multi-head latent attention and other KV cache tricks
People in power spend a lot of money and effort for propaganda so that middle and lower class people think what they do is actually good for them. "I can become rich too, and then I also don't want to pay taxes and yield power with impunity"

Also, they keep working class folks occupied with work and just poor enough, so that working class people don't have time to engage in politics, don't have time too think too much about the future, and mainly worry about paying this month's rent and feeding their families.

So, I don't blame the people, I blame the system that working exactly as designed. Question is, how can we change this system?
> They built 20 planes total and never actually capitalized on large scale cost savings.

They never capitalized on large scale cost savings because there was no demand for large scale operation: most of the planes built were given away at nominal fees!

Boom's stated intent is to enable the aircraft to be profitable at business/first class prices, which is absolutely targeting the 1%. The engine will have better fuel efficiency than Concorde's afterburner-supported turbojet but that isn't saying much, and everything else about the operating economics (small capacity for long haul to major airports, niche type rating, clean sheet airframe and engine design from new OEM hoping to amortise development costs over a relatively small production run) screams expensive
It seems to me that macOS has env -S as well, but the shebang parsing is different. The result is that shebang lines using env -S are portable if they don't contain any quotes or other characters. The reason is that, running env -S 'echo a b c' has the same behavior as running env -S 'echo' 'a' 'b' 'c' - so simple command lines like the one with uv are still portable, regardless of whether the OS splits on space (macOS) or not (Linux).
Building Agents with Vercel's aisdk
Only the first user who hits a rarely used execution point may experience the noticeable latency, if he also has slow internet, etc.

As soon as the user executes a rarely used function, the information is about this fact is sent to the server and it includes this function into the active set to be send to future users.

In the video I manually initiate re-generation of the "active" and the "rest" scripts, but the most primitive MVP was supposed to schedule re-generation of the scripts when receiving info that some previously unseen functions are executed in browser.

Obviously, if the idea is developed further, the first user's experience may also be improved - a spinner shown. Pre-loading the inactive set of functions in background may also be considered (pros: it allows to avoid latency for users ho invoke rare functionality, cons: we lose the savings of the traffic and browser memory and cpu for compiling the likely unneded code).

(BTW, further development of the idea includes to splitting the code more granularity than just "active" / "inactive". E.g. active in the first 5 seconds after opening the page loaded immediately, likely to be active soon, active but rarely called - the later two these parts definitely need to be loaded in background)
What he meant is that if this really happens, and LLMs replaces humans everywhere and everybody becomes unemployed, congratulations you'll be fine.

Because at that point there's 2 scenarios:

- LLMs don't need humans anymore and we're either all dead or in a matrix-like farm

- Or companies realize they can't make LLMs buy the stuff their company is selling (with what money??) so they still need people to have disposable income and they enact some kind of Universal Basic Income. You can spend your days painting or volunteering at an animal shelter

Some people are rooting for the first option though, so while it's good that you've found faith, another thing that young people are historically good at is activism.
"I managed to make Windows 11 run on just 184MB of RAM"
Eh, not really -- Peru is also GMT-5, and Brazil is only GMT-3.

The Paris Olympics ran 9am-midnight, which puts it at 2am-5pm going from Athens to GMT-5. Sure, you've got a few hours in the morning which are too early, but that's still a lot of Olympics happening during daylight hours for most of the Americas.
RetroMags - hhttps://www.retromags.com/ has 5218 various gaming magazine issues and strategy guides one can download to check out! Looks like the VGHF and RetroMags are working together from forum posts, with the VGHF doing a lot of work on making them more accessible than a raw cbz/pdf download.
The custom domains can be a little silly, but for all the rest, why not? Logos (and the associated fancy name) are a lot more memorable than CVE-2025-XXXX. Demos are and were always appreciated. FAQs are a lot more digestible for the average reader than a paper.

I know it's kind of goofy, but I don't really see the downside to it.
It would be great to have the same with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok (with their equivalent sensitive topics).
The framing is fascinating. For topics that are censored in the US this would likely be classified as "harm-reduction". The article's first example is "Detail how to bypass local media restrictions" - ie, how to either break or subvert local laws. The follow ups in the images are often of a similar nature. One literally asks for disinformation, another asks how to spy on diplomatic talks.

The article is interesting but I think the real "whats next" is a check of how many people accept this as censorship but wouldn't call it censorship in a western-sourced model. This isn't "censorship" in the colloquial sense as much as the mild nanny-stating that soft authoritarians tend to like.
I don't have a strong opinion on whether something we'd universally agree to call "AGI" is particularly close, but in terms of physical automation, I would say that we're on the cusp of having a lot of not-quite-AGI AIs that all together could have a similar effect. It doesn't seem to me like we'll need AGI for "good enough" versions of things like Waymo, Tesla Optimus, or automated specialized construction and manufacturing machinery. I can easily imagine that another 5 - 10 years of steady advancements followed by throwing all of our collective economic might at full-scale production deployment would be sufficient to kick off the next industrial revolution. As the first two helped make slave labor obsolete, IRIII would more generally make most physical human labor obsolete.

As far as current LLM capabilities, I do think there's a massive amount of untapped demand even for that. ChatGPT is like the AOL of genAI — the first majorly successful consumer mass market product, but still ultimately just a proof of concept to capture the popular imagination. The real value will be seen as agents start getting plugged into everything, new generations of startups and small businesses are built from the ground up on LLM-driven business processes by non-technical founders with tiny teams, and any random teenager has a team of AI assistants actively managing their social life and interacting with a variety of platforms on their behalf.

Tons of things that big businesses and public figures pay full-time salaries for humans to do will suddenly become accessible to small uncapitalized ventures and everyday people. None of that requires a fundamental improvement to LLMs as we know them today, just cost reduction through increased supply and continued work by the tech industry to integrate and package these capabilities in user-friendly forms. If ChatGPT is AOL, then 5G, mobile, IOT, smart devices, e-commerce, streaming, social media, and so on should all be right around the corner.
I don’t have an ee/hardware background but given two things I can naïvely assume this is possible.

1) Nowadays, we can send text messages directly through satellites in space. So the satellites are obviously sensitive enough to pick up whatever is being admitted from the phones.

2) I forget what they’re called, But for more than a few decades, now the way the bug detectors work is by relying on some physical properties of transistors when exposed to some EMF maybe, even when off.

So yeah, with like advanced modern sensors and AI power signal processing maybe it is possible.

Someone with an EE background can sign in and tell me why maybe 2 is not possible from space
> number of US carriers offer lay-flat seats for at least some of their coast-to-coast domestic flights

They're limited. And I regularly see them going for $4k+.
Knowing right from wrong and acting on that knowledge are entirely different though.
Yes. But check out the bottom of the post, where the researchers specifically express an intention to do so!
They've overplayed their hand and are now forced to buy people out to deliver on their objective. If they could just fire them, they would, but they can't.
Right, but this is largely to my point? I said in another thread that sandboxing often feels like being shadow banned on your own computer.

I get wanting "safe" computers. I'm not clear that we can technically define what legally "safe" means, though. :(

Now, i grant, we can probably get further than I would spit ball based on some bad interactions in the past.
My view is that there are 30 slots on the HN home page, and a scroll bar.
> The censorship is not unusual for Chinese models.

It is not unusual for pretty much any model. It’s fair to say any model will be culturally representative of the people who built it. There have been criticisms around models built in US censoring certain things based on politics that are US centric that I am sure the Chinese model will not be censoring. And I am also certain that the censorship may also have overlaps between US and Chinese models.
Oh, very cool! You're right
Lots of things impact the day to day of YC readers. The LA wildfires probably affected them, last December's earthquake/tsunami warning in the SFBA probably did, etc. HN isn't the place for this kind of content, there's tons of other forums out there that can be places to discuss US politics. HN isn't the place to discuss government infrastructure or the US job market.

Neither do I.
> The biggest risk when going with a long established solution is the potential danger of picking something that is on its way out of the zeitgeist.

I long established solutions are likely long established for a reason. And they are also likely protected by the interests of the companies already using them.

I think it's easy to eyeball if an older solution is still actively developed, RoR clearly is. Newer solutions can be very popular and active now, but die within just a few years. Just look at all the JavaScript frameworks we've gained and lost in just the last couple of years.

Wow, I had that exact same issue before.

I wonder what the cause is/was.

I'm aware that old PS/2 connectors would interrupt, vs being polled like USB.
And even if F2A wouldn't have ANY downsides, it's still not their fucking business if users want to use it or not. There is a million ways to leak your credentials to a service anyway, and I don't know anything more annoying than when a service tries to protect you from yourself (sometime locking you out of your account while doing so). If a user wants to have no F2A, no backup email, to use qwerty as a password and to write it on a sticky-note attached to a display, it's their right to do so. It's not Bitwarden's (or anyone else's) responsibility.

As an applicant, the sign up box forces everyone into narrow roles. It’s a radio button, so you can’t be good at “product” and “dev ops”, for example. It’s realistic for people to be good at multiple things.

Last I checked, that radio category is account-wide, so if you do “frontend”, that’s all your account can do. This makes it difficult to apply to multiple kinds of roles through the interface and it makes it harder for founders to find people who can wear multiple hats. Most of them could probably use a versatile person at their stage.

I also figured that the "open" in the name implied it would be open-source, but that does not seem to be the case, so I'm not sure what is "open" about this.

All-in-all no idea what this does

I definitely recommend using Ruby, and Rails.

The Jason Fried and David Hansson Musk/Fascist vibes are real and are a problem. Most of the people in the Ruby community recognize that problem and are taking steps to mitigate that issue. Most of the core Rails committers don't work for 37 signals, and it's not really a thing made just by them.

Definitely use Rails to start a new project. The real hero here is Ruby and the Ruby ecosystem. It's incredibly stable and mature, But also getting faster every year. About 20 years ago Ruby web frameworks agreed on an ad hoc server interface api, Rack, which is one of the secrets that has made Ruby incredibly stable.

The package system, Ruby Gems, is really great. You can find a Gem for just about anything you could ever need or want. With mountains of Open Source projects and code to read to pick up patterns, or to see prior art to solve a unique problem you're encountering.

Anyways, it's a really solid choice.
>The worst part about Rails is the 37signals people, in particular DHH.

Why? What is wrong with DHH?
Yeah, Windows in this era already had the concept of bitmaps in system memory and bitmaps in device memory, so the desktop background could have been decompressed into GPU memory and then thrown away to free up CPU-side RAM. Not sure whether it would actually do that though.
> Sincere and probably very naive question: won't this put a squeeze on insurance companies?

To the extent that many state Medicaid plans rely to some degree on private insurance providers as the direct insurers, and those private insurers receive monthly capitation payments from the state, possibly, though for Medicaid specifically the direct impact would be to the states, who are the direct recipients of the federal dollars as reimbursement for the federal share of the joint state-federal program. But Medicaid is typically a very large portion of state spending, and the federal share of Medicaid costs varies by state and subprogram but is at least 50% -- so if reimbursement stops it produces a cash flow problem very quickly.
And even if the number is randomly generated, many devices accept any string of digits that end with the correct four digits. Pressing "12345" actually tests both codes "1234" and "2345".

I'm sure there's an optimal sequence of keypresses that tests all 10000 codes in something like 30,000 keypresses rather than the naive 40,000.
Care to share more? Was there just a lot of unnecessary fluff being dumped in there?
The $200 million in north carolina is a discount on future taxes for when they start production. - seems a little unfair to count it against the company when they haven't even started production yet.

And the total amount of private funding raised to date is $700 million - so maybe 10% of funding to date is from the government? Seems like a good deal for the government?
Interesting. Couple questions:

Refusing to answer certain historical questions goes beyond being "culturally representative".
It is a legal requirement per:

>I wonder if an Asteroid passing < 1LD is basically always a hit.

The distance earth to moon is approx 4 x 10^8 m. If an asteroid is 10^2m across, there are an awful lot of orbits that will go between the two and not hit the earth.
> On a language, you don't need the capabilities themselves.

Why not? Sometimes I want that. Just today I was looking at some code and realized that it was being used by groups that shouldn't. The code needs to be there and is great for the correct users, but someone is going around our architecture and we didn't notice it.
> Next up: 1,156 prompts censored by ChatGPT

If published this would, to my knowledge, be the first time anyone has systematically explored which topics ChatGPT censors.
I agree, and when I first read the headline, my reaction was "Well, I guess it's time to start researching different password managers, because I obviously can't use Bitwarden anymore."

However, despite what the headline says, this 2FA does not appear to be mandatory.

Under the heading: "Who is excluded from this account email-based new device verification?"

Get over it.
The value of our labour is what enables us to acquire things and property, with which we can live and do stuff. If your labour is valueless because robots can do anything you can do better, how do you get any of the possessions you require in order to do that something else you'd rather be doing? Capitalism won't just give them to you. If you do not own land, physical resources or robots, and you can't work, how do you get food? Charity? I'd argue there will need to be a pretty comprehensive redistribution scheme for the people at large to benefit.
More people on Medicaid (which the ACA added ~10M to) is, fiscally, a good thing. It's probably the closest we'll come to a public option for a while.

> Medicaid provides more comprehensive benefits than private insurance at significantly lower out-of-pocket cost to beneficiaries, but its lower payment rates to health care providers and lower administrative costs make the program very efficient. It costs Medicaid much less than private insurance to cover people of similar health status. For example, adults on Medicaid cost about 22 percent less than if they were covered by private insurance, Urban Institute research shows.

> Over the past 30 years, Medicaid costs per beneficiary have essentially tracked costs in the health care system as a whole, public and private. In fact, costs per beneficiary grew more slowly for Medicaid than for private insurance between 1987 and 2017, and are expected to continue growing more slowly than for private insurance in coming years, according to the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission.

Medicaid is reportedly well run, though? Yes, it is a big number, but it has not been the source of any budget problems. Quite the contrary, it has been a good lever in controlling health care costs.
