This extension is the only thing on my computer that is slow. I have an M1 Pro and an M1 Max laptop and the new visual refresh has made the extension very slow and a lot less usable.

The old one was instant on clicking the shield icon. The new one is slow and flashes a few times before showing me the UI.

Also, the entire field used to be selectable to fill fields. Now I have to aim at the tiny Fill icon and it's even harder to get to the time-based 2FA code.

I get why they've done it but I have never seen any software this slow in my life. Even just displaying the boxes seems like it needs a progress bar.
holy wow!!
I have a PhD from one of the best universities in the world in Machine Translation, I was training feed forward networks in 2014, built models in TensorFlow in 2016, founded a generative AI startup in 2019 and signed deals with huge consumer goods companies, debugged distributed training jobs on a cluster with thousands of A100s, and wrote PyTorch training pipelines for a financial ML trading signal that made money.

Yet, I am unqualified to join an AI startup because I’ve never made an API request to OpenAI
This brings back memories. We used this in my mechanical engineering mechanisms class. It was cool to have the (simplified!) symbolic formulas describing the movements we were designing.
no I think more engineers. especially those who can be a jack-of-all-trades. if a software project that takes normally 1 year of customer development can be done in 2 months, then that project is affordable to a wide array of business who would could never fund that kind of project before.
Can we get the benefits of transitive dependencies without undermining security?

> From what I've seen in r/TikTok (curiosity has kept me going back to seeing how users are reacting everyday) they really hate Meta. They're so upset, they don't trust that the current administration wont taint the algorithm of TikTok as well. It's really wild to see the varying views.

If these robots find a good target and make it habitable, then you would still need to send humans at some point, right? But then you sort of wasted all these thousands of years by doing robots first, you might as well send humans too.
Interesting, so they wouldn't want to disclose something that shows they've illegally (terms / copyright violations) scraped research databases for example.

Won't this eventually come up in legal discovery when someone sues one of these firms for copyright infringement? They'd have to share their data in the discovery process to show that they haven't infringed..
Antitrust enforcement, sure, it's a good thing. Pretending that Republicans are better than Democrats in that sense, is not that great. Especially after who attended the inauguration, it's very naive to hope that they will solve "Big Tech abuses" in any way.
I mean, if all major browsers do it roughly once then users will complain to the few broken websites. They won’t even think to blame the browser if every other site works fine and the broken site is broken on all browsers.

No. AI learns to predict reasons, and doing so as it predicts the answer improves its accuracy at predicting the answer.

In summary, even though they are called "reasoning" models, they are still based on prediction and pattern matching, not true logical reasoning. The improvement in accuracy is likely due to better leveraging of the model's statistical knowledge, rather than any deeper understanding of the problem's logic. And the reasons you see it output have nothing to do with the actual reasons it used to determine the answer.

In fact, R1.Zero hints that, it might be even better to let the AI follow a chain of thought that doesn't actually make logical sense or is understandable, and that doing so could even further improve its ability to accurately predict solutions to code, math and logic problems.
Massive media failure here, reporting the drone hysteria with a straight face. It was the clown scare all over again, but they either didn't recognize it or were unwilling to lose the clicks by saying so.
At the moment, QuickStack only supports containerized applications. You can either provide details about your Git repository (including a Dockerfile, which QuickStack will use to build the container image) or specify the name/URL of an already built container image from Docker Hub or a private registry. Here's a demo video on how deployments currently work using a git repo as source: https://youtu.be/koqGZ2ChHvw?t=183

I don’t know much about Nix yet, so I should go through the documentation first... Given QuickStack’s current setup with Kubernetes (using k3s), the platform is somewhat "tied" to containerized apps for now.
From the article:

I've been seeing some very promising results from DeepSeek R1 for code as well. Here's a recent transcript where I used it to rewrite the llm_groq.py plugin to imitate the cached model JSON pattern used by llm_mistral.py, resulting in this PR.

But the transcript mentioned was not with Deepseek R1 (not the original, and not even the 1.58 quantized version), but with a Llama model finetuned on R1 output: deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b

So perhaps it's doubly impressive?
As someone who has reported several (software) security vulnerabilities to Apple, I couldn’t care less. Some of the things I reported are trivial to fix, and dealing with their team has been a frustrating experience. They don’t deserve extensions, they need to get their shit together and stop releasing new crap every year. Clearly they can’t do it properly.
Also a YC company who's actively hiring. We had two new joiners start last year, we have another two lined up for March/April and we have one open position (with more to come later in the year if all goes well). I'm "in charge" of hiring at Devyve (YC S22), and by "in charge" I mean that I'm acting as the TA team because, you know, startup. I don't mean "in charge" as in I make all the decisions on who gets hired - we do that as a team.
> any modern language should support this

It seems that people who use Visual Studio Code expect LSP to exist for every language for some reason, then blame the language itself when it doesn't, as this commenter did. It's strange to me. It isn't that the language doesn't support VSCode, the problem is that VSCode doesn't support the language. VSCode is the bad thing, not the language.

> elite engineers will not want to work for you

Engineers who care more about the specific web technology being used rather than solving the problem don't sound like "elite" engineers.
this is a better world. we can work a few hours a week and play tennis, golf, and argue politics with our friends and family over some good cheese and wine while the bots do the deployments.
Make ur first API request to OpenAI today and who knows, rooting for ya!
This actually seems like it might fill a niche I've been noticing for almost a decade now:

I love going to bookstores to browse for new books, but I exclusively read electronically. Arguably, if the local bookstore is what ultimately introduces a new book to me that I end up buying, they do deserve a cut. It's kind of sad that nobody has cracked that yet.

German booksellers had a scheme that came somewhat close, as far as I understand, but unfortunately it only included large chains, not independent small stores.
This is wrong, though. Which parts of the world China does and does not claim is not a constant. I don't even know how you would go about answering something like this reliably in code. You'd want an Internet-accessible lookup endpoint containing whatever the latest known Chinese official policy is, but the URL for that might change just as the content might change. Does this model even do a web lookup before creating this "const" or does it just reflect the available training data at the time the current weights were encoded?
Ultimately all large companies become banks.

ClickHouse Cloud uses AWS Graviton to boost performance and efficiency
All other things being equal, sure. But I'm probably not paying thousands of dollars to save a few hours. Maybe if that amount of money is basically pocket lint, but that's a tiny percentage of the population.
I think that in some ways, certain parts of TikTok feel like the old YouTube. It's usually one person talking into a camera about a subject they know a lot about and it's usually straight to the point. Videos aren't as long as they're on YouTube but there's a lot of 3-5 min long content.
Not a YC startup, but jobs I've posted recently had over a thousand applicants in the first few weeks. I post multiple places, including HN. There's a huge culling process to find the 20-30 most applicable candidates, then to narrow down from there to the 1-2 that fit best.

The best way to stand out (for me) is a real application not written with AI. Everyone uses AI now and it all sounds the same. Express your honest enthusiasm for joining the company/mission in the cover letter (maybe 20% of applicants submit a cover letter, and a smaller fraction of that was written by real people, and smaller fraction of that gives authentic enthusiastic vibes). Use your real voice in your writing. I give the AI applicants a chance if their resume makes sense, but it's a minefield.
Quite the contrary, really. We've been seeing "success stories" with AI translating function calls for years now, it just doesn't get any attention or make any headlines because it's so simple. SIMD optimization is pretty much the lowest-hanging fruit of modern computation; a middle schooler could write working SIMD code if they understood the problem.

There's certainly a bit of irony in the PR, but the code itself is not complex enough to warrant any further hysteria. If you've written SIMD by hand you're probably well familiar with the fact that it's more drudgery than thought work.
Interesting. For me and I suspect many others, the relationship goes the other way. Time was of no importance when I was a child, but as an adult it is everything. I have finite time to spend with elderly parents, dying friends, and quickly growing children.

An hour I spend stuck in traffic we're at a airport is a conversation I'll never be able to have with a loved one when they're gone.
> If you need to hire a sizeable team quickly, I would reach for Node or PHP.

I always wonder about this. Surely the technology you pick influences the size of the team.

Yeah, that's a no then. I'm not buying something tied to "Adobe Digital Editions" DRM (and even less something even more proprietary I can't read on my ereader).

It's one of the worst pieces of software I've ever had the pleasure to suffer from, and I'll only tolerate it for library books, definitely not for something I "own".
What was it lacking?
Except you said it was worth caring about! I agree with what you wrote here, but I thought we were talking about this because you had concerns about OpenAI's disrespect for copyright.
>For optimal performance, we recommend the sum of VRAM + RAM to be at least 80GB+.

Oh nice! So I can try it in my local "low power/low cost" server at home.

My homesystem does run in a ryzen 5500 + 64gb RAM + 7x RTX 3060 12gb

So 64gb RAM plus 84gb VRAM

I dont want to brag around, but point to solutions for us tinkerers with a small budget and high energy costs.

such system can be build for around 1600 euro. The power consumption is around 520 watt.

I started with a AM4 Board (b450 Chipset) and one used RTX 3060 12gb which cost around 200 Euro used if you are patient.

There every additional GPU is connected with the pcie riser/extender to give the cards enough space.

After a while I had replaces the pcie cards with a single pcie x4 to 6x PCIe x1 extender.

It runs pretty nice. Awesome to learn and gain experience
This just sounds so Dystopian...
This is a bad faith comment - if you had all that in your resume, they wouldnt disqualify you for not ‘sending an api request’.
Ask HN: Is LinkedIn Job Search the worst? Partial outage?
I was deep in one of my semi-regular "Am I using the right tech stack?" career crises, so I decided to use LinkedIn to assess the market for different technologies, understand requirements, number of remote jobs, company profiles, and so on.

For context, I'm currently a mobile developer (Flutter, iOS, Android), but I decided to research other technologies (Rust, Java, DevOps, Vue, JS, etc).

The LinkedIn search is completely ducked. No matter what I searched for, I keep getting promoted results for my old stack (ALL mobile jobs). I searched for Rust jobs, I got iOS, Kotlin, and Flutter jobs. None of those were Rust, even if I opened the ad, I didn't find any mention for Rust. All promoted, no matter how many pages I keep checking.

We tried to search it from my sister's phone, searching for Rust, all she got as a result is different Sales positions (she works in sales).

It's been a while since I searched for other tech on LinkedIn and I don't remember LinkedIn being so bad, so I am wondering if they really got this bad, or they just had a bad deployment and messed up search.

Could be relevant, about 2 weeks ago, I let LinkedIn know I'm looking for jobs as I want to have a second gig, a side job.
To throw in a second viewpoint: 99% of the time I open the extension, it is to trigger auto-fill. I don't like having my credentials auto-fill on page load, I like to be the one to trigger it.

That being said, I also hated the change that hid the copy buttons, but they have a setting that brings them back.
The unspoken problem is that most people want way too much fucking money.

> programming languages will likely go away altogether

As we know them, certainly.

I haven't seen discussions about this (links welcome!), but I find it fascinating.

What would a PL look like, if it was not designed to be written by humans, but instead be some kind of intermediate format generated by an AI for humans to review?

It would need to be a kind of formal specification. There would be multiple levels of abstraction -- stakeholders and product management would have a high level lens, then you'd need technologists to verify the correctness of details. Parts could still be abstracted away like we do with libraries today.

It would be way too verbose as a development language, but clear and accessible enough that all of our arcane syntax knowledge would be obsolete.

This intermediate spec would be a living document, interactive and sensitive to modifications and aware of how they'd impact other parts of the spec.

When the modifications are settled, the spec would be reingested and the AI would produce "code", or more likely be compiled directly to executable blobs.

...

In the end, I still think this ends up with really smart "developers" who don't need to know a lick of code to produce a full product. PLs will be seen as the cute anachronisms of an immature industry. Future generations will laugh at the idea that anybody ever cared about tabs-v-spaces (fair enough!).
1. You can get all the models by buying Kagi subscription (excluding o1). Includes DeepSeek models. You can also feed the assistant with search data that you can filter.

2. If you have GitHub Copilot, you get o1 chat also there.

I haven't seen much value with OpenAI subscription for ages.
I've applied to a couple of these. If I remember correctly PostHog and Enveritas both posted here and for both I went past the initial screening step, but that's where it ended for me.

I also participated in the hiring side for the previous startup I worked at - SoftIron - and we did actually hire someone we found through a post I made here on the monthly Hiring thread. He was a good candidate, but eventually everyone got laid off anyway. I actually felt bad about that - I think we were only around a year after hiring him.

On that note, since I was participating in the hiring, I will say that we had a shocking amount of low effort and AI-written responses to the posting.
And if someone proposed to run a company for flying to the moon after every rocket engine manufacturer actively and overtly dropped them and they had no rocketry experience themselves, I would be equally skeptical.
I'm firmly Gen Z and love email. Messaging is great, but emails have a formality that is infuriating for casual conversation, but works really well for anything important or weighty.
And people in the right-wing media ecosystem RABIDLY sequester themselves away from any possible source of contrary information.

> Obviously, nobody steals things while the train is in motion.

Something interesting: I live near a train line where the doors are not automatic (they have to be opened manually on each stop), and there have been incidents where people get pickpocketed while the train is still in motion, and the thief jumps out right before the station, when the train has slowed down significantly but is still in motion. Many people have been hurt doing this.
this is unbelievably helpful, wow -- thank you!

curious: which part of the pipeline does the majority of 'business' value come from?
I feel like the odds are so long that a few orders of magnitude either way don't really change the argument that luck is a bigger factory than anything else.

Developing vs developing world is an interesting question. There are a lot of people in the developing world who outright stole $1B or more, and the process of development frequently makes billionaires. Chinese people I know who came to the US and had average results often regret coming because they know people back home who got really lucky and hit it big.
Their art team should definitely start integrating AI into some pieces. It seems like it's actually perfect for The Onion.

Imagen 3 has spectacular prompt adherence. Throw in a face swap and some Kling 1.6 videos sometimes. Seems like there is a huge amount of potential to enhance parody articles or videos.

Maybe the art team just sees it as an insult or something.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held in Canada, USA and Mexico. I do think spreading things out makes a lot of sense. Slightly less incentive for corruption, too.
Yes, enumerating all predicates in the system and meta-interpreting all control structures seems unrealistic to me. In the sense that no Prolog application developer (as opposed to a Prolog system implementor) would want to do it. Except maybe as an intellectual exercise.

Of course you wouldn't really need to enumerate all predicates in the definition of call/1. You could first run a whole-program abstract interpretation to identify just the ones that can actually be meta-called. Much more appealing :-)
Apple CPUs Affected by New Slap and Flop Side-Channel Attacks
Meta's algorithm on IG has gone so far down the toilet over the years. Before I deleted my account last year, I'd have to scroll through 5-7 sponsored posts before I'd actually see something from someone I actually follow. Nevermind the amount of regular old ads that were inserted into my feed.
I have zero compassion for prosecutors when the State lies.

The State has near-limitless resources, therefore they MUST be held to the highest of standards.

I'd even be in favor of censuring/firing the investigator involved who left information out of the warrant. Future defense attorneys will be able to bring this up on every affidavit or testimony he gives and some portion of cases will fall apart as a result of this.
Fits the theme of current LinkedIn talking a bunch of fluff but meanwhile not actually posting real jobs.
“there were 56 million people worldwide whose assets exceeded one million US dollars”

That doesn’t take starting your own business or even working for one of the top paying companies. If you bought a house ten years ago in an area with rapid price appreciation - congratulations you are now close to a million easily.

Now if you work for any of the tech companies that pay top of market for a few years and live below your means, reaching 1 million is even easier.
They "own" even 75% of profits until Microsoft has recouped its $13 billion investment. 49% comes after that.
But he's a Republican. Why would a Google search for "fash" clear that up?
Personal experience and also from many people I know around. Previously I would receive a request for an interview every two days or so. Lately, perhaps once a month, if at all. Foundational skills that I have were always scarce on the market so that makes me believe that the demand for them is now much much lower.

Another data point is that there's been ~10 companies that I have been following and all of them have been shut down in the past year or so.

And the general feeling you get from the number of HN posts from people complaining about not being able to find jobs. This certainly hasn't been like that before.
>On that note, since I was participating in the hiring, I will say that we had a shocking amount of low effort and AI-written responses to the posting.

Also put an entry up on the monthly hiring thread a few years ago. Even though we explicitly stated US-Based and authorized to work in the US, we did not get a single application from US-Based people. All Indian, Eastern European, and South American.
This (YC funded) startup is the same one that ran ads saying "stop hiring humans", "AI won't complain about work-life balance" etc. They're definitely trying to create controversy for attention.
A bit of a false dichotomy. But in my own experience, the search is not very semantic. Director of Engineering that builds bridges is pretty different from a Director of Engineering that builds APIs. My experience with LinkedIn job search often conflates such things.
Ask HN: Is AI assisted programming going to change productivity expectations?
So, many of us have been working with various IDE which has tightly integrated conversation and code generation features. With minimal prompting, one can extend existing programs to add intricate and complex functionality. It writes good code, and matches all the surrounding style etc.

Traditionally, programming (in a meta sense) is about this loop between thinking about what to code, and then writing that code. Sometimes you have to break the loop and go learn how to do something.

Very very generically speaking, your work-a-day software engineer might spend a morning like this:

A. Spend an hour reviewing requirements and decide what code to write, how it should be factored, etc.

B. Spend a few hours writing that code

Now, with good code generation from AI, step B might be cut down to 30 minutes for time to generate and then review the generated code.

I'm finding this experience to be very interesting.

Do you think this is going to be widespread enough that expectations around productivity are going to raise? Is it more likely that I have to deliver 4x more jira points or that I get 4x more free time each data in the office?
