How is this any worse than where the US is now, getting the Musk/Zuckerberg/Bezos/Trump approved answers,
if any answer can be gotten at all,
after the current occupant of the oval office has silenced all federal agencies.
The orbits of planets in our solar system are quasi-circular, with only Mercury (e=0.20) and Mars (e=0.09) being more elliptical. Every other planetary orbit in our solar system has e<0.05, even 0.00x for Venus or Neptune.

They're not perfect circles but close enough for all practical purposes.
I want to second this.

I don't mind the general visual update. But the change to the copy buttons was a step backwards.

To the bitwarden folks... if I'm opening up the extension 99% of the time it's one of these use cases:

1. I'm creating a login for a new site

2. I'm on a site that doesn't support autofill, and I'm manually copying user/pass/code

3. I'm filling credit card info, and want to select a specific card

Both #2 and #3 got worse with this change. Put the damn copy buttons in the huge amount of whitespace you have for the entry. Don't hide them in an overflow. Put each of the user/pass/2fa buttons in a fixed space, and don't move them.
Really awesome work! Do anyone know what's the tool/terminal configuration he's using on the video demo to embed CPU/GPU usage on the terminal in that way ? Much appreciated :)
Is it? it is just a gate
So it genuinely does not matter to you how completely irrelevant US copyright law is to China, when using a Chinese LLM?

That’s such a weirdly specific application of a moral principle, it’s hard to believe.
Any person who has the ability to break down a problem to the point that code can be written to solve it, and the ability to work with an LLM system to get that work done, and the ability to evaluate if the resulting code solves the problem.

That's a mixture of software developer, program manager, product manager and QA engineer.

I think that's what software developer roles will look like in the future: a slightly different mix of skills, but still very much a skilled specialist.
Do any of those zones actually have life?

The two examples you gave... Include liquid water.

As far as I know there is no life native to the coldest parts of the earth that have no liquid water.

It is entirely possible there is some other form of life that does not require liquid water, but we have yet to discover it.
I'm not much of a math aficionado, but I tip my hat to the creator of Desmos. Has been around and free for quite awhile now.

Hey HN!! I'd love some feedback on this tool.

I built NimbleAI as a way to compare how different AI models work.

Currently it supports all of the usual suspects: o1, Gpt-4o, Claude 3.5, Llama 3.2 and Gemini 1.5. I also added support for Deepseek V3 recently (their R1 model seems down right now so it is not enabled).

The ultimate goal is to build agents that can leverage the best AI model for the job to complete more complex tasks, but to start I built a foundation for experimenting with multiple models.

You can also make chats or chat groups (comparisons) public. Here is an interesting one comparing Gpt-4o with Claude Sonnet 3.5:

Thanks for checking it out!
I hate the cumbersomeness of 2FA and am prepared to and take full responsibility for the consequences of not using it.

This is not a good change for me. This annoys me. I will not be using or considering Bitwarden going forward.
It sounds like the Log Sequence Number in Postgres is what you are looking for. If you subscribe to a Postgres publication via logical replication, each commit will be emitted with a monotonically increasing LSN.
Be careful about using newer clients with an outdated version of the vaultwarden server.

I lost a couple days of new accounts/passwords because this[1] probably happened.

Seems like the exact opposite. The very example you are replying to is the mechanistic translation of one low level language to another, maybe one of the most boring tasks imaginable.
You seem to be deliberately trying to pervert the definition of habitable zone.

Just because there are regions on a planet in the habitable zone that contains ice does not mean it is not in the habitable zone. If it were further out beyond the habitable zone, there would be no liquid water at the surface.

To quote my friend Andy Dufresne, "How can you be so obtuse?...Is it deliberate?"
This needs to be top level since a lot of people aren't even looking at where it happened.

The neighborhood it occurred in is 95% black. This isn't racial profiling.

Is the existence of such a neighborhood awful and downstream of prior generations of racial issues? Sure is.

Don't invent things out of thin air to match your priors, that doesn't help your cause at all.
> a very important distinction.

A distinction without a difference.

As used by the Musk/Zuck/Bezos crowd, "aligned" is a weasel word for "parroting the TESCREAL world view"
Yeah, it's going to suck for junior developers for a while.

The ones who are self-starters will do fine - they'll figure out how to accelerate their way up the learning curve using these new tools.

People who prefer classroom-learning / guided education are going to be at a disadvantage for a few years while the education space retools for this new world.
While I dont know your scenario as an avid user of both gpt and claude, I would recommend move away from Google style search queries, and begin conversing. The more you give the LLM the more you'll get close to what you want.

Why does it seem like one of these stories pops up yet again every few years?
It is crazy that error handling is one of the most important things, yet even modern languages suck at it.

In my opinion everything should return type like MayFail<T>, Result<T>
this is not one of those scenarios. The answer is clearly not obvious.
Oh good, so it's not just me that happened to!
I vote no on this proposal.

Go error handling should remain simple, like the language.

These are all tools, just pick the one you like and stop trying to make them like others.
> You seem to be deliberately trying to pervert the definition of habitable zone.

No, I'm saying an Earth-life centric metric is a bit of an odd choice when evaluating extrasolar planets.

It's like an African elephant declaring Norway uninhabitable.
The big fear shouldn't be on loss of jobs, it should be the inevitable attack on wages. Wage will track inversely to proximity as a commodity status.

Even the discussion around AI partially replacing coders is a direction towards commoditization.
Again, because for some reason people keep forgetting - Russia stopped deliveries of gas to Germany BEFORE THE PIPE RUPTURED. When they tried to use the sanctions and broken turbine as excuse - sanctions were circumvented by Germany. Russia still refused to take the turbine back and gas still wasn't flowing.

The timeline is somehow always misrepresented.

> On 16 June 2022, European benchmark natural gas prices increased by around 30% after Gazprom reduced Nord Stream 1's gas supply to Germany to 40% of the pipeline's capacity. Russia warned that usage of the pipeline could be completely suspended because of problems with the repairment.[54]

> On 11 July 2022, Nord Stream 1 was turned off for scheduled annual maintenance, but remained off after the usual repair period.[55] The Siemens pipeline turbine was repaired in Canada. Due to sanctions, Canada could not deliver the turbine back to Russia after repair works and instead sent it to Germany, despite the call of Volodymyr Zelenskiy to maintain the sanctions.[56]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%932023_Russia%E2%80...

Russia even demanded papers for how the sanctions were circumvented and tried to use that as an excuse not to get the turbine back.

> Chinese government backed conspiracy

Do you understand how ginormous China is and how ridiculous this kind of made up boogeyman statement sounds?
Say they, hypothetically, the police just looked at every drivers license photo of people living in a 1 mile radius. And they find the suspect, and go to a judge saying a combination of appearance, perpetrator in suspects driveway, and criminal history gives probable cause for a search. I don’t think that’s any different.

If they came to the judge and said “an informant said we’ll find the gun here” and the informant was actually Clearview, thats obviously a problem.
Perhaps crickets because nobody wants to wake the beast (market sell-off). But I believe it's a tempest in a teapot. Technology is changing so rapidly now (almost vertical rate of change) that by this time next year this "revelation" is likely to be moot. Just stick to what you trust in your work, and keep moving forward. The problems will be figured out and fixed by the market very quickly--or else.
This is pretty far from a no-brainer to me. The FAQ even has the reason why: "what if I store my email password in bitwarden?"

One of the main reasons to use bitwarden is as a synchronized backup when the system autofill fails, which tends to happen in the same situations this 2fa check will trigger (new devices).

It adds a potential failure mode without meaningfully benefitting my personal security model.

My mini storage place issued me a code that was just the number of my box and the year I was born. Knowing this, I could probably brute force someone else’s code in 30 seconds.
Thats how the database works internally, thats not how the interface to the database works.

Infomaniak inaugurates a datacenter recovering 100% of its energy to heat homes
What makes this data center so unique? 100% of the electricity is repurposed to heat 6,000 homes. Zero water, zero additional air conditioning needed for cooling. Built underground in a residential area. No impact on the landscape. Fully documented in Open Source (https://d4project.org/). This is a major innovation that should inspire the cloud industry and policy makers to raise construction standards.
Yeah it's interesting because on the one hand you're adding one more step to login. You're adding friction. On the other hand, it's pretty obviously a good security practice.

I wonder what the product and stakeholders discussed. Were there metrics on how many users they might lose with this?
I assume spies in a warzone are often captured/killed without court-admissible evidence. The existence of facial recognition SW probably doesn't change that.
> That's why I'm not worried. There is already SO MUCH more demand for code than we're able to keep up with. Show me a company that doesn't have a backlog a mile long where most of the internal conversations are about how to prioritize what to build next.

And yet many companies aren't hiring developers right now - folks in the C suite are thinking AI is going to be eliminating their need to hire engineers. Also "demand" doesn't necessarily mean that there's money available to develop this code. And remember that when code is created it needs to be maintained and there are costs for doing that as well.

Web version of ecl when compiler is invoked at runtime, uses one-pass bytecodes compiler, so things tend to lack optimization unless compiled beforehand.
Are they though? Are they the ones you want to run "almost always"?

Some of the distilled models we're seeing are very good.
Agreed, though to your point I think we'll end up seeing more induced demand long-term

- This will enable more software to be built and maintained by same or fewer people (initially). Things that we wouldn't previously bother to do are now possible.

- More software means more problems (not just LLM-generated bugs which can be handled by test suites and canary deploys, but overall features and domains of what software does)

- This means skilled SWEs will still be in demand, but we need to figure out how to leverage them better.

- Many codebases will be managed almost entirely by agents, effectively turning it into the new "build target". This means we need to build more tooling to manage these agents and keep them aligned on the goal, which will be a related but new discipline.

SWEs would need to evolve skillsets but wasn't that always the deal?
Yeah I've been using Go for years at multiple companies and I agree. Using multiple lines of code for something that's so common just isn't an efficient use of screen space to me and at a certain point all those lines hurt readability of code.
I read that Meta is tasking all engineers with figuring out how they got owned by deepseek. Couldn't they just have asked an llm instead? After their claim of replacing all of us...

I'm not too worried. If anything we're the last generation that knows how to debug and work through issues.
Nice, def will check this out!
(insert president name here, as it's not limited to any single person) Derangement Syndrome is definitely problematic.
Probably worth noting that using another PIN like that to enter a storage facility is almost certainly a breach of terms of use. Such that, if you did anything in there that is not ok with everyone, they have easy legal recourse against you.
> Transformer encoders are not really popular anymore

references, please
Yes, and again, that doesn't make it wrong or irrelevant. Believe it or not, the popular wisdom can still be correct!
> The two examples you gave... Include liquid water.

This specific planet spends half its orbit in said zone. Here on Earth, we have creatures like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudskipper that can survive severe dry spells, and fish that can happily freeze sold in ice for months.

Europa spends zero time in our solar system's "habitable zone", but because of its conditions, may still possess large amounts of liquid water. It's a perfect example of why the "zone" may be overly narrowly defined, even for Earth-like water-dependent life.

> It is entirely possible there is some other form of life that does not require liquid water, but we have yet to discover it.

And we certainly won't if we only look in Earth-defined "habitable" zones.
I have MLCCHAT on my old Note 9 phone. It is actually still a great phone, but has 5GB RAM. Running an on device model is the first and only use case the RAM actually matters.

And it has a headphone jack, OK? I just hate Bluetooth earbuds. And yeah, it isna problem, but I digress.

When I run a 2.5B model, I get respectable output. Takes a minute or two to process the context, then output begins at somewhere on the order of 4 to 10 tokens per sec.

So, I just make a query and give it a few and I have my response.

Here is how I see it:

That little model, which is Gemma 2.2b sorry, knows a lot of stuff. It has knowledge I don't and it gives it to me in a reasonable, though predictable way. Answers are always of a certain teacher reminding student how it all goes way.

I don't care. Better is nice, but if I were stuck somewhere with no network, being able to query that model is amazing!

First aid, how to make fires, materials and uses. Fixing stuff, theories of operation, what things mean and more are in that thing ready for me to take advantage of.

I consider what I have fast. And it will get one or two orders faster over the next few years too.

I did it on a lark (ask the model what that means) and was surprised to see I gained a nice tool.
The problem is the AI boosters think that people who don't work shouldn't eat. How do you reply to that? People like having food on their table.
I see. You use "money" in a kind of a metaphysical 'total value' sense. That's fine, but very confusing when talking about "money creation", because that term typically means the particular mechanism by which units of a particular currency come into existence. In particular, M2 money growth, and where that line comes from.

You're right when you say that it's all debt all the way down, but you're very much wrong if you really believe that new fiat units appear in the system just because you took a loan at a non-bank entity.

EDIT: To illustrate my point a bit.

Let's assume that there are no fractional reserve banks, and only cash exists as a form of money. Only government issues cash, in total 10k USD have been issued, and the next issuance will be in 2 years.

Let's say you need 10 USD, and I have a 10 USD banknote. The banknote is debt money in the sense that it's a direct liability on the central bank balance sheet. For me it's a 10 USD worth asset.

Now we sign an agreement that you're going to pay back 11 USD in a year. I give you my banknote. Now I have exchanged one asset (a 10 USD bank note) for another asset (your promise to pay back 11 USD in a year). Depending on your character, history, and point in time between now and in a year my new asset is worth between 0 - 11 USD.

Let's assume you have stellar character, and are a well respected member of the community who always pays their bills. It's likely my new asset is now worth 10.5 USD, and someone would be willing to buy your debt from me.

By issuing a loan to you, we haven't created additional 50 cents in the system. The system only has 10k in it, and the next issuance is in 2 years. Anyone who would be willing to buy your debt from me would need to already have 10.5 USD.

Now the government decides that fractional reserve banking is pretty nifty, and is made legal. The fractional reserve requirement is set at 10%.

A neobank that has 3 USD cash (central bank liability) in their vaults approaches me and buys your debt from me by opening a 10.5 USD deposit in my name. Now the bank has a liability of 10.5 USD (my deposit), a 3 USD asset (cash), and an asset worth approximately 10.5 USD (your debt).

Congratulations, we have now all together created 7.5 USD of additional money in the system. The theoretical M2 money maximum in our system is now 100k USD. How much is actually in circulation depends on how much debt people are taking on. At the moment we're the only ones having done this, so amount of M2 money in the system is 10 007.5 USD.
Temporary body paint would be acceptable, and necessary for athlete identification in larger events like triathlon and marathon.
Alright, if this is more palatable - let's just say market caps will decline because of small code updates made anywhere in the world.

The point still is: Software/engineering is no longer the moat creator.
You have missed the point of the long CV. It is not that the recipient has to read everything. As mentioned, the first couple of pages is the resume. However the details are there to provide more info. as needed. Contrary to what you think i have had very good response to such a layout. Often times they see a company/project/technology there (even if old) which rings a bell with them and which they are then eager to discuss. That is the point; Give them all the info. in which you are strong so that they can make a better informed decision. The same is what i look for when i am the interviewer; a few bullet points on a 2-page resume which basically tell me nothing is useless.

Incidentally, Jeff Bezos does something similar with his 6-page memo (plus annexes) for meetings; Same idea different domain; More details help better decision-making.

"Gut Feel" is absolutely needed to give your input on Team Fit, Conflict Management and similar other intangible Human factors. Some companies are doing Myers-Briggs etc. but i give them lower weightage (because they can be gamed by practice) over subjective feelings.

A report on a interviewee should include objective assessments (knowledge, experience etc. and your inferences based on them) and subjective assessments (temperament, maturity etc.)
Most definitely, it is the fastest path to an MVP for a proof of concept.

Show HN: Which TLDs are recognized in Apple Messages
Like many people, i have a bad habit of looking for domains for side projects that never quite get off the ground. One annoyance is knowing which domains will be treated properly in the Apple Messages app. Aka they are tappable hyperlinks.

So i found a list of ~1600 TLDs online, pre-pended `example` to each of them -> example.com, example.ai, etc. Then i manually checked which were expanded in the Apple Messages app.

No one seems to have actually tested a bunch of domains in the Apple Messages app; that's the main contribution here.

Figured others could use this list for themselves. So it's available in a searchable table at https://recognized.link. The tool was even useful for choosing the TLD for the site itself.

Open to feature requests. Obvious ones:

- Android (https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/241293/wheres-th...)

- per-TLD links out to domain registrars (e.g. Namecheap)

- download as CSV

Hopefully this saves some folks a few minutes :)
color, fill, texture, shape - that gets you up to 7
I continue to suspect that the hiring problems are mainly due to massive over-hiring during Covid, followed by layoffs that flooded the market with skilled developers looking for work.

I'd love to see numbers around the "execs don't think they need engineers because of AI" factor. I've heard a few anecdotal examples of that but it's hard to tell if it's a real trend or just something that catches headlines.
