I thought there were three DeepSeek items on the HN front page, but this turned out to be a fourth one, because it's the Qwen team saying they have a secret version of Qwen that's actually better than DeepSeek-V3.

I don't remember the last time 20% of the HN front page was about the same thing. Then again, nobody remembers the last time a company's market cap fell by 569 billion dollars like NVIDIA did yesterday.
So apparently the successor to the XB-1 test plane, Overture, is planned to be mainly a luxury airplane, similar to Concorde, just somewhat smaller.

I don't see a reason to be excited about this. Their CEO compared their test flight to the Falcon 1 rocket, the Falcon 9 precursor. But a better comparison would be Blue Origin's New Shepard, or Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipOne, because they also mainly offer luxury services. By contrast, the Falcon 9 rockets have real (non luxury) commercial and scientific value.
I can't let go of the suspicion that this could become some kind of military (drone or not) airframe.
Try a Cafe Instead of Standup
Gruntwork is and always has been a 100% remote company, and over the years we've learned a few lessons about running efficient engineering meetings. Some key ideas:

- Collect information in parallel
- Store topics in a permanent database to be revisited with timestamped updates
- Use synchronous time for high-bandwidth conversations, such as conflict resolution or information-gathering

We've modified stand-up so much that we use new name: Café

What do you think or your team's stand-ups? Would you try a Café?
Hey you did the thing lol https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42855416
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.

With that in mind, I would not be surprised if the top TikTok users will not take the free money. I mean its free money. If it actually works is another story though. Meta has been trying to force growth in new social media apps several times now, and its not really working, social media apps are basically generational.

I feel bad for them I grew up on the internet, in my day it was MySpace and a few other sites, I can only imagine the outrage I would have felt if they knocked off one of my social communities I frequented as a teen.
Will that work? Isn't memory treated in a unified way between processes, at some point?
"trivial" how do you figure? Remember these exploits bypass your own code's conditionals over a shockingly far duration. Unless you just mean for incredibly restrictive usages such as eBPF?

possible absent any performance concerns at all, yeah sure
Multithreading may be an obscure feature to you but runtime developers get requests for it all the time. SAB becoming widely available was definitely delayed.
No, but then again I didn't claim copyright law mattered to me at all, you did.
The isolated environment is required because most Linux systems also depend upon Python, and can have dependency conflicts if you install development dependencies that conflict with system dependencies.

> the open-domain Frame Problem is equivalent to the Halting Problem and is therefore undecidable.

Diaconescu's Theorem will help understand where Rice's theorm comes to play here.

Littlestone and Warmuth's work will explain where PAC Learning really depends on a many to one reduction that is similar to fixed points.

Viewing supervised learning as paramedic linear regression, this dependent on IID, and unsupervised learning as clustering thus dependent on AC will help with the above.

Both IID and AC imply PEM, is another lens.

Basically for problems like protein folding, which has rules that have the Markovian and Ergodic properties it will work reliably well for science.

The basic three properties of (confident, competent, and inevitable wrong) will always be with us.

Doesn't mean that we can't do useful things with them, but if you are waiting for the hallucinations problem to be 'solved' you will be waiting for a very long time.

What this new combo of elements does do is seriously help with being able to leverage base models to do very powerful things, while not waiting for some huge groups to train a general model that fits your needs.

This is a 'no effective procedure/algorithm exists' problem. Leveraging LLMs for frontier search will open up possible paths, but the limits of the tool will still be there.

Stable orbits of the planets is an example of another limit of math, but JPL still does a great job as an example.

Obviously someone may falsify this paper... but the safe bet is that it holds.

Heck Laplacian determism has been falsified, but as scientists are more interested in finding useful models that doesn't mean it isn't useful.

All models are wrong, some are useful is the TL;DR

I had a cheapy Samsung curved 27inch 1080p monitor that use to live in a tax office. It didn't work so it was given to me to see if I could fix it. I noticed I couldn't plug in an HDMI cable without the back of the monitor popping the cable out of it's socket. The only way to get the HDMI cable to plug in all the way was to angle the monitor down at the table. If I try to face it up, the bezel tents out and pushes the cable out of socket.

I put the monitor in a corner and left it for around a year. A year later I get another similar monitor with a broken OSD nipple like the one in this article. I noticed that it had no problem with cables being pushed out of socket. I looked at the back of the monitor and saw that there's a little screw just above the inputs on the back of the new monitor.

So I snag the screw from the new, broken monitor and try to screw it in to the old 'working' monitor in hopes that it would fix the shell, and it won't screw in. WTF right? Same monitor, same model.. No screw hole but there was a place for a screw, just no hole.
So I pull the bezel up enough to notice that there actually IS a threaded screw hole behind the shell, there's just no hole in the back for the screw to go in. So I break out a drill, make my own hole and the screw screws right in. Perfectly fixed.

First time I ever fixed a monitor with a drill.
Your reasoning still assumes that "AGI" can emerge from quadratic time brute force on some text and images scraped off the internet. Personally, I'm skeptical of that premise.
You can use the distilled version on Groq for free for the time being. Groq is amazing but frequently has capacity issues or other random bugs.

Perhaps you could set up Groq as your primary and then fail back to fireworks, etc by using litellm or another proxy.
Almost all major DAW software targets the desktop environment - A lot of them are cross platform (Ableton, FL Studio, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, Bitwig, etc.)

Linux is sort of left out in the cold unfortunately, except for reaper and bigwig, both of which are very solid choices.
My point was just anything he did with open source is orthogonal to charima, even if you also think he isn't charismatic; I havent gotten any charasmatic vibes off him though he does seem to have an intense stare at interviewers that doesnt really come off as charasmatic but maybe kind of Elizabeth Holmes-y and she obviously was very convincing to people and effective at manipulation. To me Holmes didn't seem charismatic either but there was definitely something that convinced other people.

Show HN: Poplar – Text, media, and live chat in a dynamic grid
Hi HN, Poplar is a social space inside of a dynamic grid on your phone. Users can post and share images, video, text posts, and even live chats.

Poplar’s interactive nature makes it a sort of “digital fidget toy”. You’re able to explore instantly loading content without ever leaving the grid and you can view a denser array of content per scroll.

In deciding to build Poplar as a progressive web app (PWA), the goal was to create a unique experience as could only be achieved on the web without any design constraints.

Best of all, you don’t need to download an app to try it. Although, if you prefer the feel of a native app, Poplar can be installed as any other PWA providing a full screen experience.

Ultimately, Poplar is meant to be fun and capture the vibe of the nascent internet while combining it with the capabilities of modern browsers and devices.

You can try Poplar on mobile at: https://pplr.app/ and we’d really appreciate your feedback. We hope you enjoy exploring and welcome back to the web!
Nvidia's Stock Crash Solves a Wall Street Puzzle
A bit once bitten twice shy for me on this one, cool though it may be.
It's a random guy. He's also not censored by OpenAI models:

> Who is David Mayer

![Quién es David Mayer de Rothschild, el millonario al que relacionan ...](https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.CCKTcyWe80YvrRbkkxY_AAHaK...)
The name "David Mayer" is associated with several individuals across various fields:

1. *David Mayer de Rothschild*: Born in 1978, he is a British environmentalist, adventurer, and member of the Rothschild family. He is known for his environmental advocacy and expeditions, including the "Plastiki" project, where he sailed across the Pacific Ocean on a boat made from recycled plastic bottles to raise awareness about plastic pollution. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mayer_de_Rothschild?utm_...))

2. *David M. Mayer*: A professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Michigan, specializing in behavioral ethics. ([scholar.google.com](https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=c2Zunb8AAAAJ...))

3. *David R. Mayer*: An American politician born in 1967, he has served as the mayor of Gloucester Township, New Jersey, and was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R._Mayer?utm_source=chat...))

4. *David Delaney Mayer*: Born in 1992, he is an American documentary filmmaker and social entrepreneur, known for projects like the PBS series "Food Town" and co-founding DreamxAmerica, an initiative supporting immigrant entrepreneurs. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Delaney_Mayer?utm_source...))

5. *David Mayer (Historian)*: An American-British theatre historian (1928–2023), he was an emeritus professor at the University of Manchester, recognized for his work on 19th-century drama and the Victorian stage. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mayer_%28historian%29?ut...))

6. *Akhmed Chatayev (Alias: David Mayer)*: A Chechen militant (1980–2017) who used the alias "David Mayer." This alias led to a case of mistaken identity affecting the historian David Mayer. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mayer_%28historian%29?ut...))

If you have a specific "David Mayer" in mind, please provide more context or details, and I can offer more targeted information.

Denmark announces $2B Arctic security plan
Wouldn't the AI track be more about the knowing the internals, being able to build models, ... So in your 1981 example that would be saying about half of the people are enrolling in computer hardware courses, whereas only a fraction of those are needed?

I would assume any other CS course teaches/is going to be teaching how to use AI to be an effective software developer.
It was not common for the low-end phones of the type used by Iraqi insurgents in 2003 to be equipped with Bluetooth.

Remember the "NSA can track phones when turned off" was from 2003.

Try to remember 2003, then adjust your memories to match the reality for an impoverished Iraqi.

My guess is that because they controlled the cellular network they pushed out an OTA firmware that made it so the phones didn't actually turn off but went into one of the ARM7TDMI's low power modes where it would wake up periodically and ping a tower before going back to sleep without turning on the screen. Those modes used so little power you wouldn't notice a difference in overall battery life.

This would be trivially detectable by any party with a $10 SDR dongle in 2025.
Email is the worst form of communication. Except, all others are even worse.
I'm surprised no one has pointed out this seems like a classic example of innovator's dilemma - in the day's of HD's it took years for new technology to come around and upset existing companies. In this information age, everything happens quicker - so a new company, did something the entrenched leader said couldn't be done/didn't explore because their path was "the right path forward" - it created a blind spot. It isn't an exact usage, but I think the concept applies.

I think there's a gap of problems between CRUD and novel. I imagine novel to be very difficult, unsolved problems that would take some of the best in the industry to figure out. CRUD problems are really basic reading/writing data to a database with occasional business logic.

But there's also bespoke problems. They aren't quite novel, yet are complicated and require a lot of inside knowledge on business edge cases that aren't possible to sum up in a word document. Having worked with a lot of companies, I can tell you most businesses literally cannot sum up their requirements, and I'm usually teaching them how their business works. These bespoke problems also have big implications on how the app is deployed and run, which is a whole different thing.

Then you have LLMs, which seem allergic to requirements. If you tell an LLM "make this app, but don't do these 4 things," it's very different from saying "don't do these 12 things." It's more likely to hallucinate, and when you tell it to please remember requirement #3, it forgets requirement #7.

Well, my job is doing things with lots of restraints. And until I can get AI to read those things without hallucinating, it won't be helpful to me.
There's been transparency sources on the executive and legislative branches since the birth of the internet. If you need a pretty website to know that shit, that's on you.
Stupid question, maybe, but IANAL: is this even legal? Isn't it illegal to pay others to bury your competitor?
Yep that's pretty much what I did, their calculation for the layers was slightly off though, I found I could offload an extra 1-2 layers to the GPUs
Well, I guess we will see what the discussion will be about in a couple months. You are right that 'AGI' is in the eye of the beholder so there really isn't a point in discussing it since there isn't an acceptable definition for this discussion. I personally care about actual built things and the things that will be built, and released, in the next few months will be in a category all their own. No matter what you call them, or don't call them, they will be extraordinary.
The idea of treating AI agents as a distinct persona, similar to users or developers, is spot on. We really have to think about how they experience our software, this is essential for building effective systems that actually work for both humans and agents.

That being said I think the emphasis on APIs might be wrong in the long term. I think having an intake agent sitting on a side channel apart from HTTP/HTML on your product waiting to interact with external agents might be a better analogy. Maybe using just a mix of free text and fixed schemas with access to the product tools, who knows. Really excited to see developments on this area.

I assume the question was about the questionable economics of running a super-sonic airplane profitably.

The Concorde was notorious for bleeding money.

Maybe the premium aspect will be enough, given that we have a bigger and bigger chasm between rich and poor, or maybe the economics of running it won't compete against sub-sonic, lower fuel consumption planes.
DeepSeek services down due to claimed malicious attack
Has there been articulation on what sort of attacks and by whom?
You've linked to this very post!
The problems described here seem like they could be solved by email clients, rather than abandoning the whole protocol.
It depends on your starting point. A baseline level of ML is needed. Otherwise ML platforms account for three basic functions: features/data, model training, and model hosting.

So do an end-to-end project where you:

- start from a CSV dataset, with the goal of predicting some output column. A classic example is predicting whether a household's income is >$50K or not from census information.

- transform/clean the data in a jupyter notebook and engineer features for input into a model. Export the features to disk into a format suitable for training.

- train a simple linear model using a chosen framework: a regressor if you're predicting a numerical field, a classifier if its categorical.

- iterate on model evaluation metrics through more feature engineering, scoring the model on unseen data to see its actual performance.

- export the model in such a way it can be loaded or hosted. The format largely depends on the framework.

- construct a docker container that exposes the model over HTTP and a handler for receiving prediction requests and transforming them for input into the model, and a client that sends requests to that model.

That'll basically get an entire end-to-end run the entire MLE lifecycle. Every other part of development is a series of concentric loop between these steps, scaled out to ridiculous scale in several dimensions: number of features, size of dataset, steps in a data/feature processing pipeline to generate training datasets, model architecture and hyperparameters, latency/availability requirements for model servers...

For bonus points:

- track metrics and artifacts using a local mlflow deployment.

- compare performance for different models.

- examine feature importance to remove unnecessary (or net-negative) features.

- use a NN model and train on GPU. Use profiling tools (depends on the framework) and Nvidia NSight to examine performance. Optimize.

- host a big model on GPU. Profile and optimize.

IMO: the biggest missing piece for ML systems/platform engineers is how to feed GPUs. If you can right-size workloads and feed a GPU with MLE workloads you'll get hired. MLE workloads vary wildly (ratio of data volume in vs. compute; size of model; balancing CPU compute for feature processing with GPU compute for model training). We're all working under massive GPU scarcity.

“Currently, all civil aircraft flights are prohibited from operating above Mach one speeds over land in the United States.” [1]

Mike Bannister’s excellent book Concorde talks at length about how “handsomely profitable” the BA service was (as opposed to the Air France one) from 1984 until the 2000 crash and subsequent grounding put them in to a spiral where keeping enough people certified was too expensive.

One part of this profitable change in 1984 was surveying their customers (who typically did not book their own tickets) to see what they thought the price was. About $5000 was the perception. It was actually $3000, so they quickly raised the price to the perceived one.

How many of them did that? Five out of a thousand?

Anecdotally, around two people in a hundred in my proximity are preppers as well, though obviously with smaller budgets.

It is just a specific fringe way of thinking.
Hilarious to see all the takedowns on these videos. Who the hell DMCA's a reposted advertisement? It's literally free advertising. The only reason they would take these down is because they were ashamed of them - and they probably should be.

I was actually thinking something more like a bytecode interpreter that runs one operation and then sleeps until the next full wall clock second, but yes, that's my point: If you don't care about performance, you can make process isolation safe very easily.

Wow republicans are now called fascist? Idk I always thought Schwarzenegger was such a nice example, wise, gentle, kind, funny and republican. Not loving the Trump, sure, but to say such a thing based on how someone votes, man you’re falling low.

Edit ok read the X post, man you guys are losing it if you call that fascist. So divided, you can be either black or white. I feel sorry for you.

Say one thing good about Trump and you’re a fascist, just pretend that all he does is bad. There is no more way of looking at it objectively. No wonder you are so divided over there. I really would stop watching the news. Half your country voted for him. What does it say about you that you view half your country as fascists?
