I like your idea, though I'm probably biased because I learned computers and computer programming starting with zero experience, zero knowledge and nothing but a 4K, sub-1 Mhz Radio Shack Color Computer. Unfortunately, in 1980 there were virtually no real instructional materials available on microcomputers. Learning consisted mostly of just trying things, typing in listings from low-budget hobbyist 'zines and comparing notes at user's group meetings.

One great advantage to your approach is that emulators are free and some of them, like MAME, have extremely powerful debugging and exploration tools built right in. Plus there's extensive developer documentation, SDKs and instructional materials available for many of the most popular platforms along with lots of commented code disassemblies. Having an actual course structured around curated sets of these materials would be pretty amazing.
I think they're claiming that the popular vote has no real relationship to political legitimacy in the US, which is true, because the electoral college/FPTP system is explicitly designed to render the popular vote essentially meaningless through layers of abstraction and gatekeeping. It's only really useful for propaganda, and not even that useful - Republicans claimed a sweeping mandate from the masses even in 2016 when millions more people voted for Hillary Clinton.
Aider, with o1 or R1 as the architect and Claude 3.5 as the implementer, is so much better than anything you can accomplish with a single model. It's pretty amazing. Aider is at least one order of magnitude more effective for me than using the chat interface in Cursor. (I still use Cursor for quick edits and tab completions, to be clear).
TIL, thanks! The corresponding query parameter seems to be "tbs=li:1", if anybody wants to make this the default.

We know that he takes breaks and plays video games and such things. He is not working all his waking hours. So bragging about sleeping at the office is just plain silly. He clearly has both the time and money available to get an apartment or a hotel.
Billions of dollars are being spent on very useful AI.

You just notice the shitty ones, but people on HN thinks that's the norm for some reason.
The summaries come with sources
It is still curious though as far as what is actually being automated?

I find huge value in these models as an augmentation of my intelligence and as a kind of cybernetic partner.

I can't think of anything that can actually be automated though in terms of white collar jobs.

The white collar model test case I have in mind is a bank analyst under a bank operations manger. I have done both in the past but there is something really lacking with the idea of the operations manager replacing the analyst with a reasoning model even though DeepSeek annihilates every bank analyst reasoning I ever worked with right now.

If you can't even arbitrage the average bank analyst there might be these really non-intuitive no AI arbitrage conditions with white color work.
I mean the obvious solution is to just manufacture more problems.

I wish I could be certain that we're not doing that already.

How would $800M in deductions cover $2.3B income to the tune of a 0% tax rate? Wouldn't they still be on the hook to pay taxes on $1.5B or is it not that simple?

EDIT: Oh, apparently tax credits aren't pre-tax. So if their tax liabilities on $2.3B were $300M then they'd owe $0.
YR24 is estimated to be less than a third the size of Apophis. Side note, we’re only about 4 years away from that asteroid coming within 32,000 km of the planet, closer than the orbiting height of geosynchronous satellites.

If YR24 were to hit the planet, the article puts the impact energy on par with a 10 MT nuclear bomb, or similar to the Tunguska event:

“Everything within three or four kilometers would be incinerated,” Tonry says. “Everything out to maybe 10 kilometers is smashed. […] There would be a huge fireball that would start fires out to 15 kilometers, something like that. It would kill a lot of people if they haven’t moved out of the way.”

So, not nothing, but also not an existential threat even for most individual nation states, and also a 98% chance of being entirely uneventful.

It's certainly a way to cut costs. It's also, for a few conveniently handled bar-coded items, generally faster and more convenient than waiting in line behind a person with a shopping cart full of items. (Yes, there are express lanes but they're often not that express.)
Very little literature is written by academics. People who want to write new literature can just go ahead and do it.

In a world of limited time and resources we always make judgements about which academic fields of study are worthwhile. At some level it's a zero-sum game: time spent on comparative literature is time not spent on philosophy or history or creative writing. So, given that we have to prioritize which people to pay and which courses to require, how should we make those decisions?
Not news that globalists are dismantling the few roadblocks left so they can turn it into an empire. People have been calling this day for decades, while state-run media, a tyrant's best friend, labelled it fringe.

You won't have any enforceable rights, and will be no better than a slave by the time they are done. Shock doctrine is all about creating the disasters surreptitiously, then claiming to have a solution, which isn't a solution but just another mile down the road towards the inevitable goal.

> I have a pet hypothesis that a non-trivial chunk of the "problems" discovered with medical testing are not actually problems but just expressions of the surprisingly wide variation in how humans work. Maybe this was just a thing that happened and not a condition that auto-resolved?

The reason this is a real condition is that it can cause extreme pain and nausea. Food sticking around in your body much longer than it should can cause it to begin fermenting, creating gas and other unhappy products, making you extremely uncomfortable and unhappy.

It is a rare side effect of GLP-1 meds as well, and happened to me, I’m pretty sure (the symptoms fit, and it subsided 3 months later when I lowered the dose).

To say it was debilitating would be the understatement of the year. I sat on the couch for 3 months, physically lacking the energy to do anything, and unable to intake the fuel (food) to fix that very problem due to pain and nausea. A miserable cycle.
Political legitimacy exists.

Overstating one’s narrow win as a giant mandate does too.
And people have the right to criticize private platforms for doing that. It's all free speech.
I'm not sure it's the de facto right thing to do. Recall that the USA didn't tax income until 1913, relying primarily on tariffs and excise taxes to fund the federal government. And yet, the country was doing just fine before that—expanding its infrastructure, winning wars, and growing its economy.

The introduction of income tax fundamentally changed the size and scope of government. With the current size of federal spending, much of it driven by entitlement programs, defense, and interest on debt, there is plenty of room to trim the fat. Bureaucracy, inefficiencies, and bloated administrative costs are all ripe for re-evaluation and the axe.
We've been building smart glasses tech for a long time. 6 years ago, we realized it was super hard to make apps for smart glasses due to lack of software ecosystem.

Since then, we've seen lightweight, all day glasses hardware arrive. We've seen incredible AI arrive.

But our problem from day 1 is still here. It's hard to build apps.

We took what we learned from 6 years of open source smart glasses development to build AugmentOS - an operating system for smart glasses.

AugmentOS brings a suite of apps to users' smart glasses, and provides an SDK to enable developers to build apps for smart glasses.
Context is king, the opening paragraph of your essay fails to account for context. Depending on the context there is nothing wrong with sha1 and depending on the context there can be lots of things wrong with it. I think that's important to note when people talking about some of these algorithms.

For example no one complains about the CRC16 and CRC32 that is literally used every moment of every single day and every system. Both of which, with modern network speeds and modern disc sizes regularly produce unintended collisions. We have certain overlays that help protect against this but they are not always commonplace. Having sha1 replace these would provide orders of magnitude in protection but we wave our hands at it and don't tell people that they're doing something wrong.

You see there is a key difference between a cryptographic use of an algorithm and a non-cryptographic use of an algorithm. This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine because there are those who read this kind of thing without context and declare SHA1 evil and bad for all uses or MD5 evil and bad for all uses when in reality the context of the use case matters. Which is the reason why CRC 32 is alive to this day and allowing your hard drive to silently corrupt data, and CRC 16 is allowing silent corruption of your ethernet frames, because it's not cryptographic use and it's still good enough for what it's doing.
Apparently executive orders are enough? Or not, you can say anything in an executive order and if people fall in line it works.
It is not, people asked the model to output everything with underscore and it did bypass censorship

I have never seen hypocrits admitting they are hypocrits.
For example for debugging gui apps. Let's say we have function `on_event(event_type)` and you want to examine execution if `event_type == mouse_up`.

In reality conditional breakpoint is the same as simple, but simple require support from code:

```
void on_event(event_type type)
{
if (type == mouse_up)
{
// set breakpoint here
}
}
```

Also useful to break depending on call stack[0]

I mean, the website is pretty honest about its stance when it claims to be about "the history of political struggle", there is also a pop up that states that "journalism is a tool in the anti-fascist toolbox"

I completely sympathize with the desire for nuance, the problem is, there's an inherent tension between reporting facts and providing a nuanced view and galvanizing people into action. I think this venue is clearly trying to do the latter. This is not meant to convince anyone that this is a problem, it's meant to fuel the fire of people who do think it's a problem. Authors have different rhetorical aims whenever they write. You can challenge their use of the word journalism as a descriptor on these grounds, but it's not as though they presented any falsehoods. They are clearly writing to an audience. And, honestly, when problems really are as blatantly severe and bordering on catastrophe as they are today, there's really very little value in trying to convince stodgy people who still refuse to acknowledge a problem.

I may be the only one, but I was under the impression this whole time that all EV tax credits were for consumers who buy EVs, not companies who sell them.
The only thing getting pegged in stable coins are the idiots left holding the bag.
Interesting take.

The government hasn't put out numbers how many job losses are tied directly to energy prices - but there's hundreds of articles like: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/feb/24/basf-cut-jo...

Also, immigrants are unemployed at a higher rate than non-immigrants (7% higher for recent immigrants: https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2016/wp1606.pdf).

I imagine this has little impact on the non-immigrant population - but it is a contributor to why total unemployment is rising (the headline).
> a corporation cannot pay taxes any more than a table can

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Seriously, they're two entirely different classes of things. One is an inert physical object, the other is a legal instrument that can collect and retain money, and shelter its shareholders and employees from legal and financial outcomes.

If I asked the average person on the street, which of these two things do you think would be more likely to pay taxes, they would look at me like an idiot.
Create a system in which politicians have to suck up to rich people to win elections.

Wonder why you get oligarchy as a result.

If anything it's a miracle it's only becoming explicit now. The whole system was held by spit and glue.

In many countries parties are funded from taxes (proportionally to the results of the last elections). People/corporations paying politicians is illegal. Politicians don't have to compete for billioners' money - they just compete for votes.

It's pretty obvious it's a better system. It wastes less money too (there's a cap to the marketing arms race).
people who "don't already buy into the premise" make up such a tiny portion of the audience, that it just isn't worth writing for them. Companies paying their fair share of taxes is wildly popular, and I don't think it's worth getting bogged down writing for this vanishingly small population.
By raising taxes, such as tariffs.
What is legality when the rule of law no longer applies and becomes only a rule by law.

An imperfect system was corrupted, and no one did a thing to stop it (in aggregate). Mind you this didn't start with trump. It's been a long-running plan by Fabian's dating back to the 1900s.

Everyone just thought it was some fringe conspiracy theory because that's how the media portrayed it. Even the Kennedy Assassination was insufficient to wake people up to the corruption.

Now that its actually happening, and most of the smart people have been removed, discredited, or destroyed. What hope do the masses actually have?
Emerging AI Agent Architecture for Fintech with DeepSeek Foundation Models
Folks, we're defining a new AI Agent architecture for Fintech to support different foundation models.

Fintech AI Agents can now perform cascaded tasks using multiple underlying foundation models.
Delivering the best in performance, agentic actions, and execution costs.
A few highlights:

https://useorin.com/blog/ai-agent-architecture-for-fintech-with-different-foundation-models

▶ We’ve added Deepseek R1 as one of the foundational models for Orin AI agents.
We're seeing pretty solid initial results for logical reasoning when tested on a few B2C fintech scenarios.

▶ Many Fintech Users have been asking about Claude.
As it excels in security and stepwise actions — both critical for fintech use cases.
So, we’ve included support for Claude Sonnet 3.5 for Agentic actions.

▶ We support three modes of customer support engagement:
1/ User chat – Embedded on customer portals and help center sites. Answers product questions and resolving Tier-0 issues

2/ Email queries – Parses email threads to understand customer problems, looks up different sources, reasons out a solution, and drafts responses. Used by human agents to reply to customers efficiently.

3/ Ticket forms – Assists human agents by analyzing support tickets, using macros, knowledge bases, and past history. Suggest responses for customer reps handling the issue.

Top customer cases:

Payment apps –
Handling a variety of user inquiries on rates, payment methods, transaction times, and currency exchange.
Wealth mgmt & Tax accounting –
Managing queries about IRS forms, tax limits, 401(k), and IRA options.

An example AI Agent looks like this inside the customer portal.
A Single Tax regime aka the Land Value Tax would make these articles a thing of the past.

We could solve the deficit, pay down our debts and many people would pay less in taxes, if we eliminated all taxes and replaced them with a Land Value Tax.
These topics always remind me of this Dave Chappelle skit.

The system IS rigged, and everyone knows it.

When this administration says "DEI", then mean "anyone who isn't a cishet white male".
I’m not sure, but I thought their business model involved applying machine learning on user answers, like their translations of excerpts of written text / handwriting samples.
I'm surprised the Democrats are silent. They've been derided as Vichy Democrats. I know all their protesting will mostly be useless, because the GOP apparatchik and judiciary can just bulldoze over them, but geezus fucking Christ Dems, you're politicians, it's pratically your job to make a lot of noise and hot air even though you might not get anywhere! The opposite will be considered surrender by your electorate, and you expect to win votes by projecting "We're the people that surrendered, vote for us!"?
> Actually kWh price is around 30 cents [1], which is similar to e.g. California

California isn't the world's factory - precisely because it has bad energy policy (if you want cheap energy - i.e. you're a factory).
Yup, Linux is nowhere the Unix successor we deserved. I have started multiple systems projects in Linux and gave always given up due to how shoddy the foundations are. It seems like the kernel just copies whatever cool feature they find in Solaris, BSD, Plan 9 or even NT without paying any attention to their composability, while the user space people are just a clique trying to force their way on everyone (why is the loader part of libc again?).
Show HN: Word Dynasty
Word Dynasty is like Bejeweled, but for letters.

• It draws lines for each word, and lists them at the bottom of the page.

• Click any two tiles in sequence to swap the letters.

• I suppose the goal is to find as many words as possible, or one word per line.

Known issues:

• The grid sometimes looks wider than the page on mobile.

• It needs a Readme and icon.

• Overlapping lines just look like one long line.

• Sometimes the lines get drawn wrong and they get offset left by a few pixels. Not sure why.

• It doesn't handle diagonals yet, just horizontal and vertical.
Not all seconds make great seconds either.
It is all the genius really of Duchamp's Fountain from 1917.

At this point the conversation is just boring.
> In the US the amount of energy used to create an inflation adjusted dollar of GDP has been declining since 1949.

That does more to cast doubt on the GDP than anything else; a lot of the commonly used metrics are flawed. One of the interesting things about the Trump campaign(s) is his message is typically that the economy is bad and it seems a lot of people have on-the-ground experiences that match that.

Since GDP dissociated from energy use in the 70s, I tend to side with the people who think the metrics are flawed. If GDP isn't a proxy for energy it isn't obvious what it is measuring or why anyone should care about that - for all that people do for reasons that are hard to unravel. There is a such a thing as intangible wealth but on aggregate it still pales compared to the tangible sort that requires energy.

> Just moving from coal and gas plants ...

One of the reasons I link the OurWorldInData series is they include fudge factors to try and account for that. If you look at the graph you can see it uses something they call the substitution method.

I get the vague feeling this has been pointed out to you before but maybe not.

Trump to 'absolutely' impose tariffs on European Union
I normally use aider by just typing in what I want and it magically does it. How do I use o1 or R1 to play the role of the "architect"?
Am I the only one who thinks that R1 is awful at creative writing? I've seen a lot of very credulous posts on twitter that are super excited about excerpts written by DeepSeek that I think are absolutely absymal. Am I alone in this? Maybe people have very different tastes than I do?

(I have no formal training in creative writing, though I do read a lot of literature. Not claiming my tastes are superior - genuinely curious if other people disagree).
> Oh, apparently tax credits aren't pre-tax.

Yes, tax credits reduce the tax bill, not the taxable income.
What do you expect to come from full o3 in terms of automating software engineering?
8 year olds can watch TikTok videos for hours
That's a great example actually. What search terms led you there? Is there a category for nonsmartphone there? What does someone with limited knowledge of available options do there?
I haven't tried aider in quite a while, what does it mean to use one model as an architect and another as the implementer?
I see no evidence they are down. I can get to every .gov I can think of to spot check. They’re removing parts of many.
Maybe they assume tax rates will be better for them in 2026. Under that assumption, deprecating things now to shift the tax burden to the future is kind of avoiding tax (or more accurately: the 2024 tax rates).

Given the level of corruption in the US government in general and the role of Musk in the current administration in particular that doesn't seem unlikely to me
The ironic thing is that if he had just focused on cost cutting and hadn’t gotten involved in posting various Political Hot Takes, Twitter would probably be doing extremely well now. They could have had both labor cost savings and without hemorrhaging all their advertisers.
How do I avoid the angst about this stuff as a student in computer science? I love this field but frankly I've been at a loss since the rapid development of these models.

I wonder if the flagging/flame war detector is too aggressive for stories like this that blend the worlds of tech and politics. From my bystander PoV, it seems like the majority of interesting news stories like this one get flagged and killed despite a somewhat normal discussion in the comments. I know people want to pretend that politics don't belong on their tech/startup forum, but that's just ignoring the reality of how intertwined the two are at this point.
