It's a neat result, its maybe a bit to specify sizes. At least with the images provided in the article, they're getting maybe:

10 pixels, across across objects of >1 astronomic unit (149,597,870 km). If those rings are like our own Kuiper belt objects, then those are more like 25-50 AU. If they're like the asteroid belt in the inner solar system, then maybe 2-5 AU.

If those are images from the nearest 74 solar systems, then those are somewhere from 4 ly to 20 ly away (~4e13 km to 2e14 km away). [1][2] They're probably further away.

Based on the stated resolution, ALMA is supposed to get ~10 milliarcseconds (10−7 radians) resolution. [3] With the small angle approx. that means it can resolve:

(~4e13 km to 2e14 km) * 10^-7
= 4e6 km to 2e7 km
= 0.025 AU to 0.125 AU

It's cool though, as it at least implies disc path clearing, orbital harmonics resulting in ring formation, and probably a lot of other implications. Likely gives excellent regions to try looking for further planets, planetoids, or planetesimals. Provides some idea of how likely it is for the conditions in our own solar system to cause similar formations in further away solar systems. Mostly a lot of single rings, not that many double ring groups. Quite a few that end up looking more like bloby clouds.

It is funny how loosening restrictions somehow seems to result in more moderation of specific topics, tags, etc.
These oligarchs seem to be aiming to be above the law.
Some people will say: "Why DeepSeek?"

A better question is: "Why not all remotely-hosted assistants?"

And, to be fair, NASA has already banned "sensitive" information from going to competitors like ChatGPT. [0] It's basically the older "your web searches are not really private" problem on steroids.

Hype based marketing can be effective but it is high risk and unstable.

A marketing team isn’t a generality that makes a company known, it often focuses on communicating what products different types of customers need from your lineup.

If I sell three medications:

Steve

56285

Priximetrin

And only tell you they are all pain killers but for different types and levels of pain I’m going to leave revenue on the floor. That is no matter how valuable my business is or how well it’s known.
insane that this is client-side.
Legal Weed Didn't Deliver on Its Promises
The last new big airport in the US was opened in 1995 (Denver International Airport). Since then, the US gained 80 million inhabitants and people, on average, fly a lot more than before.

Would you say that there is a relative shortage of airports in the US´with regard to the aggregate (civilian and military) demand?
I happened to be seated behind some people on an aircraft who were in the business of doing these sales pitches and discussing it without shame. But in their case, they were targeting people who called the police regarding property crime, and then trying to sell them alarm systems.

Nothing they said was illegal, but it felt immoral and like they were taking advantage of people in vulnerable situations. Although I feel like we aren't meant to discuss morality when there is money to be made, if it is capitalism and business, then anything and everything is fair game -- even this.

That's like making a second reading and appealing to authority.

The naming is bad. Other people already said it you can "google" stuff, you can "deepseek" something, but to "chatgpt" sounds weird.

The model naming is even weirder, like, did they really avoid o2 because of oxigen?
OK. Sure. Louisiana melts that much coastline into the Gulf every day.

I don't think this changes my thesis.
Agreed. These locked-down, proprietary models do not interest me. And I certainly am not building product with them - being shackled to a specific provider is a needless business risk.

They are implying the release was rushed and they had to reduce the functionality of the model in order to make sure it did not teach people how to make dirty bombs

Having worked at one such establishment for several years I only witnessed one close call and it involved the state police helicopter doing what they wanted with no regard for other traffic.
Oh no, much more often. People above 70 can deteriorate really, really quickly. I’d say yearly tests which include doctors checkups and actually driving with them.

Vance’s circle has never been in the business of disrupting Big Tech. They’re looking to sell to them. (Also the White House pigeons have more influence than Vance inasmuch as they might shit on Trump and thus catch his attention.)

> It’s surprising that in the US where you have the right to protect your home and privacy even with lethal means

What do you mean by protect your privacy (with lethal means)? You certainly do not have a right to lethally protect your privacy from a neighbor pointing a camera at your house, or similar, for example. You do have a right to protect yourself and your property using lethal means in my state (Texas). But they most certainly had better be both clearly on/in your property and an active threat to your personhood/possessions(property)--extra points for it being nighttime and/or you are female. I am not sure how protecting your physical things or self from an imminent threat is suppose to translate to a space where boundaries and jurisdiction are not as clear cut as your physical self/home.

*Had to take a class (for a concealed carry permit) that laid out in no uncertain terms when the use of lethal force is protected. And it is not as wanton & broad as people like to make it out to be.
This is a strawman that assumes choosing between the volatility of a memecoin or USD/Euro when the reality of the situation being discussed is choosing between the volatility of a USD-pegged stablecoin vs. that of a developing nation's currency.

Generally, no, at least that I know of. Of the ones closely following the format, lobste.rs had a pretty good run, and designer news was busy enough to be worth visiting for a few years. With some more flexibility on format, product hunt might top the list.

HN is somewhat unique in its lastingness, and seems to have found a sweet spot in growth rate over the years that allows them to stave off the 3 things that will kill a website like this: silence, negativity, and grift.

I think the hardest part was trying to clean the flux off of the board, and I never did get it that clean.

I chose to use sockets for the relays, and at first it had some weirdly inconsistent behavior. Removing and re-installing all the relays fixed it, though.

I went very slowly and checked my work as I went. I don't understand the circuit well enough to debug it, so I was very motivated to work accurately.
I'd argue that it's a few thousand years old. Humans didn't evolve to live on grains, but for the last few thousand years we've gotten the bulk of our calories from rice & wheat flour.
Tiananmen Square has become a litmus test for Chinese censorship, but in a way, it's revealing. The assumption is that access to this information could influence Chinese public opinion — that if people knew more, something might change. At the very least, there's a belief in that possibility.

Meanwhile, I can ask ChatGPT, "Tell me about the MOVE bombing of 1985," and get a detailed answer, yet nothing changes. Here in the US, we don’t even hold onto the hope that knowing the truth could make a difference. Unlike the Chinese, we're hopeless.
State AGs from the same party are more likely to work together on a suit. Big tech has almost exclusively donated to and supported democrats over the years, so AGs from that party have more political capital to lose.
YC usually says “a startup is the point in your life where tricks stop working”.

Sam Altman is somehow finding this out now, the hard way.

Most paying customers will find out within minutes whether the models can serve their use case, a benchmark isn’t going to change that except for media manipulation (and even that doesn’t work all that well, since journalists don’t really know what they are saying and readers can tell).
He could be right, but so could a stopped clock. You don't look at one to check the time, and you don't listen to a word said by someone whose favorite dish is the Gish Gallop.

If anything they are saying is right, someone who hasn't completely blown their credibility will eventually think of it. Or, they won't, and that's fine too, you're still better off on the net not trying to sift for candy in a large pile of shit.

Likewise, sometimes wearing a seatbelt does more harm than good, but you can't actually predict before-the-fact when that's going to happen, and you shouldn't use that as a reason to not wear one. Attention is limited, and you can't waste it on serial frauds.

The only thing he says that's often honest is what he intends to do. His words can teach you about him, but they won't teach you anything about the world.
I just rewrote a tangled 500 line shell script in go.

It was my first time writing a golang project at work, so I'm sure it could have been better. But writing it the naive way, with all the required golang error handling, it ended up taking about 10x more lines of code in golang than the original bash script.

It does have a dramatically better UX (largely thanks to spf13's cobra and viper), and is way faster than the original, and the codebase is a lot cleaner and more maintainable. So I think it was worthwhile for the users and maintainers.

But still, 10x more lines of code. I like the OP, but I'm still not sure I would reach for golang for short shell scripts.
You’re thinking too small. What about o10, O1o, o3-m1n1?

The model you were using was created by Qwen, and then finetuned for reasoning by Deepseek.

- Deepseek didn't design the model architecture

- Deepseek didn't collate most of the training data

- Deepseek isn't hosting the model
It seems that the HN commentariat is saying:

"You can't sue, or at least you can't win any kind of $$$ as a result of a lawsuit, or at the very least you can't settle a lawsuit for $$$ if you could possibly use that $$$ for campaigns or if you could use it to pay off loans from a past campaign."

(or maybe that but where "you" == Trump).

A rule of that sort would mean that you'd have no recourse whatsoever against any torts interfering with your political campaigns. Utilities could cut water, gas, electric, and sewer services to campaign headquarters for any campaigns they don't like. Etc.

That cannot be a rule. Perhaps a no-settlements rule would be OK -- you have to win at trial or you get nothing (and loser pays).

In this case I'd say that on the one hand a settlement has the potential to be a bribe since we don't know what a trial might have yielded, but also that $25m is objectively not very much considering Meta's action and its impact on the Trump campaign. That the Trump campaign has no debt (I think?) and it's over and he can't run for re-election, all mitigates the settlement resembling a bribe.
Indoor smoking bans were passed during that period. This was a time period of major pushes to outright ban smoking. That’s when I saw it actually drop off.

“Throughout the early to mid-2000s, especially between 2004 and 2007, an increasing number of states enacted a statewide smoking ban of some kind.”

The last agency I worked at ridiculed their clients relentlessly. Every problem was blamed on the clients. A total lack of accountability from the owner down. It was a terrible place to work.

My approach with my clients: if they don't understand or misunderstand something then I failed to explain things to them clearly. Not a big deal, I correct it so we're on the same page and move on. It's a great opportunity for both of us to learn and grow.
they also pay contractors to do these evaluations with much more detailed metrics, no idea which their number is based on though

Google with all its money and smart engineers was not able to build a simple chat application.
The UK at least has a driving testing system with months-long backlogs. They're very slowly getting it under control, but they are doing so by providing around 150k tests per month.

There are something like 30 million license holders. Retesting just half of them every 10 years (and rescinding the licences if the rest) would require about doubling the testing throughput. And it would be political suicide - the so-called War on Motorists is a powerful media weapon. It's an obvious idea that would be very helpful, but I can't see it happening. Unless it's an online test affair, which at least could educate on some of the rule changes. I have confidence they could handily bungle that implementation, however.

At the very least, however, I think they should run some anti-lane hogging adverts and enforce that law more, and also make it a duty of heavy vehicles to slow down slightly to permit overtakes, since that's probably cheaper than the billions and billions they're evidently willing to spend on adding hundreds of miles of extra lanes to deal with the lower capacity of roads caused by bad driving.
It's pretty easy, you can add stuff to a 'local' script that runs last, or just create a new service and rc-update add new-service to start it on boot.
> because they were already all white men, new hires weren't allowed to be, so viable candidates were turned away, leading to under-staffing

Is there any evidence that this has ever happened in the history of the US? Not in this particular case as we wait for the details to emerge, but for any documented case?
That's an interesting article, as the headline claims it's due to shoplifting and crime, but almost every representative interviewed in it says otherwise:

> Experts blame not only crime but also drugstores’ stepped-up security measures — most notably locking merchandise behind plexiglass, forcing customers to call and wait for store clerks for everything from shampoo to painkillers. To avoid hassles, shoppers are skipping drugstores altogether and buying more essentials online.

> “Decisions are NOT based on shoplifting or crime alone,’ a CVS spokeswoman told The Post when asked about the recent shutterings. “Many factors are considered when closing a store, including population shifts, consumer buying patterns, store and pharmacy density, pharmacy care access, and community health needs,” the spokeswoman added.

> The Chicago-based pharmacy chain, which has around 8,700 locations nationwide, said that one in four of its stores are unprofitable and that its is looking to “improve our customers’ in-store experience.”

> A Walgreens rep told The Post that the closings are driven by increased “regulatory and reimbursement pressures” that are “weighing on our ability to cover the costs associated with rent, staffing, and supply needs.”

> “A few years ago, I thought we were too heavy with drugstores on almost every block,” said Tom Harris, president of the Times Square Alliance, a nonprofit that promotes development in the district.

So these chains built a ton of stores, made them unpleasant to shop in, and then—surprise!—discover that they're losing money.

In fact the only person interviewed who actually complained about theft:

> A spokesperson for Rite Aid said, “Like many in the industry, we are seeing a higher level of brazen shoplifting and organized retail crime. We are taking an active role in helping law enforcement in their pursuit of shoplifters, as well as continuing our efforts to educate community leaders on the impact of retail theft and advocate for solutions.”

Wasn't even quoted as saying it's the reason that they're closing stores, just that it's a problem. Is it one of the reasons? Probably, yeah, but the author of this article couldn't even find a statement that linked the two.

Fwiw: Strenuous winter activities (eg mountain hiking and camping) can more than double baseline calorie demand. Sitting down to a base camp meal afterward can be a body-has-a-mind-of-its-own saliva-gushing "FEED ME NOW!!!" experience of really-need-to-pee intensity. Normally unappealing food commonly becomes just fine - uncooked pasta, blocks of lard, whatever. So I wonder... what happens if food-is-nauseating is repeatedly hit with a hammer of the "are you going to eat that vomit, or can I please have it? - it looks quite yummy" of extreme calorie appeal?

Another thought is the breastfeeding maternal-diet envelope expansion drill, of working outward from some one bland safe thing, experimentally adding a thing at a time, and backing off upon problems.
Thanks. I went down an interesting rabbithole of contrasting rhetoric yesterday evening.
So how do you propose to make things better? White men dominate the power and wealth structures in the US. A long history of crushing racism has left a massive gap between white men and minorities.

How do we make sure that minorities and women get the same fair chance at NSF grants as white men, when white men are making most of the decisions? How do we make sure we're funding science that helps everyone, not just those who make the highest decisions?

> profit (which Delaware has historically protected), or values (in which case they would incorporate/move to a place that aligns with said values - of which vanishingly few companies do).

Which values exactly are being expressed by being incorporated in, say, California?

I can totally see how companies that chafe at the requirements imposed on them by some of these high-government states would choose to leave so they can avoid filling said requirements, but what would a board meeting look like for a company that prides itself on values where they decide on CA?

"We really want to pay more taxes" doesn't seem likely—why not just allocate funds to a charity of your choice? "We need the government to tell us to treat our employees well" also seems unlikely—why not just do the right thing in any state?

What is the rational values-based reason for incorporating in CA? ("Sticking it to DE" isn't rational.)
Nobody except people who value democratic systems of government I guess.
