This seems to kind of work on mobile, except the right half of the game board is cut off, making it unfinishable despite playable.

Everything else works, but like 3-4 columns of tiles missing on the right and a purple book at the bottom which is visible in the screenshot.

So seems like just some fix needed to avoid that cut-off in the right an it should work properly on mobile.

I tried both chrome and firefox on android, with and without desktop mode, with and without horizontal orientation. Always exactly same cutoff problem. I have no idea what creates this problem so consistently in 2 different browsers in desktop mode.

I mean, DeepSeek is the same: it treats Chinese people like a single unit. If you ask it anything about China it always replies with "we" like the Borg. E.g. (note that I didn't even mention China):

In China, we have always adhered to a people-centered development philosophy, ensuring
that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the people enjoy a

Well yes, because prioritising personal health is expensive.

High quality, healthy food is much more expensive per calorie than hyperprocessed, high calorie/low micronutrient, carcinogenic food. Gym memberships are pretty expensive, even without any of the personal coach and flex location fluff. And for someone with a lower paying job, time is more scarce as well, in addition to the job itself likely being more harmful to health. And of course, health care is expensive, and even if you live somewhere with socialised medicine, access to specialists is a lot easier and more expedient if you can afford to pay extra.

It's not like poor people don't care about their health, they just have fewer options and less time to spend on it. I support anything that can bring more options to more people.
At the scale that the selloffs happened, that meant there were some shifts by institutional investors. These are the kinds of managers that would have technical people on retainer to consult (eg. Guidepoint).

> They are too busy deploying ruby apps and juggling jsons over https

Ruby is "legacy" as well nowadays. Most younger devs I meet tend to really only understand JS and Python, and that too while heavily relying on outside packages or dependencies.

Not a bad thing per say, but if a VC like me has deeper knowledge about OS internals or Mellanox tuning than some of the (American) MLEs in companies they've done due diligence on, something's very wrong with the talent pipeline.

Humans are generally not very good at properly evaluating things in general. They are exceptionally good at believing themselves to be very good at properly evaluating things though.

It is why empires collapse from miscalculations about war by their experts, it is the foundational mental model underlying communism that simply cannot work but keeps being attempted, and it is how countries can be destroyed in every which way while the experts maintain that everything is just fine.

Never underestimate the powers of the ego, the destroyer of worlds. I mean they don’t know what they are doing, but we have advanced technical knowledge and experience, so we should clearly be in charge of all things, including those beyond our narrow scope of advanced technical knowledge and experience.

The OpenAI vs. DeepSeek debate is fascinating... but I think people are oversimplifying both the challenges and the opportunities here.

First, OpenAI’s valuation is a bit wild—$157B on 13.5x forward revenue? That’s Meta/Facebook-level multiples at IPO, and OpenAI’s economics don’t scale the same way. Generative AI costs grow with usage, and compute isn’t getting cheaper fast enough to balance that out. Throw in the $6B+ infrastructure spend for 2025, and yeah, there’s a lot of financial risk. But that said... their growth is still insane. $300M monthly revenue by late 2023? That’s the kind of user adoption that others dream about, even if the profits aren’t there yet.

Now, the “no moat” argument... sure, DeepSeek showed us what’s possible on a budget, but let’s not pretend OpenAI is standing still. These open-source innovations (DeepSeek included) still build on years of foundational work by OpenAI, Google, and Meta. And while open models are narrowing the gap, it’s the ecosystem that wins long-term. Think Linux vs. proprietary Unix. OpenAI is like Microsoft here—if they play it right, they don’t need to have the best models; they need to be the default toolset for businesses and developers. (Also, let’s not forget how hard it is to maintain consistency and reliability at OpenAI’s scale—DeepSeek isn’t running 10M paying users yet.)

That said... I get the doubts. If your competitors can offer “good enough” models for free or dirt cheap, how do you justify charging $44/month (or whatever)? The killer app for AI might not even look like ChatGPT—Cursor, for example, has been far more useful for me at work. OpenAI needs to think beyond just being a platform or consumer product and figure out how to integrate AI into industry workflows in a way that really adds value. Otherwise, someone else will take that pie.

One thing OpenAI could do better? Focus on edge AI or lightweight models. DeepSeek already showed us that efficient, local models can challenge the hyperscaler approach. Why not explore something like “ChatGPT Lite” for mobile devices or edge environments? This could open new markets, especially in areas where high latency or data privacy is a concern.

Finally... the open-source thing. OpenAI’s “open” branding feels increasingly ironic, and it’s creating a trust gap. What if they flipped the script and started contributing more to the open-source ecosystem? It might look counterintuitive, but being seen as a collaborator could soften some of the backlash and even boost adoption indirectly.

OpenAI is still the frontrunner, but the path ahead isn’t clear-cut. They need to address their cost structure, competition from open models, and what comes after ChatGPT. If they don’t adapt quickly, they risk becoming Yahoo in a Google world. But if they pivot smartly—edge AI, better B2B integrations, maybe even some open-source goodwill—they still have the potential to lead this space.
I started at Tandem in 1981. It was a great company to work for.
CEO Jimmy Treybig came to new employee orientation and said,
"The goal of Tandem is to make a lot of money and have a good time."
Well wow. (Previous company would have seen good times as an error.)

There were a lot of good times: 4:30 on Fridays at Beer Bust,

OK I’ll give you that they were concerned enough to tick a box and cross their fingers and hope for the best.

Announced in December 2023: Beginning early next year, in preparation for the 2024 elections and out of an abundance of caution on such an important topic, we’ll restrict the types of election-related queries for which Bard and SGE will return responses.

I suppose it's notable that the election is over and Gemini still refuses to talk about the people involved. Also notable is we never did get an answer whether Kamala was telling the truth, tho all these chatbots besides Gemini make the confident assertion that she lied.
When I think of “leaders of the human status hierarchy”, I do not think of a man who spends his entire day online trolling people, regardless of whether he is worth billions or not. Similarly, I don’t picture a guy that wears lifts because he is ashamed of his height, or who paints his face orange, to be that “apex” either.

Answering your question: yes, the executive branch can change geographical names in the US. Obama did that too with Mt Mckinley. This power extends solely to the names as accepted by the United States. If Mexico wants to change the gulf's name to "Gulf of the Aztecs" or "Gulf of qetwyetwdhxysysheussg", it can do that too.

>Is it energy waste if it does something productive?

To the extent that it’s not a 100% efficient system, yes. A quick search says about 60%-80% of CPU energy is waste heat. On top of that, it’s usually required to be removed by air-conditioning, so there is considerable “waste” even if you value the end product.

A manufacturer doesn’t get to claim all their scrap isn’t really waste because the rest was used to build something meaningful. So tracking waste is still important.

Depends which industry. If you look at a lot of non-tech industry then they'll use a commercial DB with all those features in place already, rather than hacking up their own data layer. A few years ago I spent some time in the enterprise finance space, and learned some unfashionable tech you don't see talked about on Hacker News much. It left me with a new appreciation for what goes on there. A staggering amount of time spent in tech startups is spent on solving and resolving problems that you can buy off the shelf solutions for and have been able to for a long time.

After all, this talk is now 10 years old but appears to be describing features that have been around for much longer. Take your average bank - it will have a bunch of Oracle databases in it. Those already have every feature discussed in this thread and in the talk:

• Incremental materialized view maintenance (with automatic query rewrite to use it, so users don't have to know it exists).

• Exposing logical commit logs as an API, with tooling (e.g. GoldenGate, LogMiner, query change notifications).

• Time travelling SELECT (... AS OF).

• Lots of audit features.

• Integrated transactional and scalable MQ (no need for Kafka).

My experience was that faced with a data processing problem, enterprise devs will tend to just read the user guide for their corporation's database, or ask for advice from a graybeard who already did so. They go write some SQL or an Excel plugin or something old school, ship it, close the ticket, go home. Then a few years later you look at HN and find there's a whole startup trying to sell the same feature.

1. There's still other species where an "alpha" exists.

2. Even if there's no other species where an "alpha" exists, what forbids us from it being a human thing? No that I want to look up to a mere mortal "alpha" e.g. dictators. Only real alpha is Christ.

3. There's always an alpha in friend groups, I've seen it, should I pluck out my eyes as they're lying to me? Heck no. Doesn't mean the women in the friend group took turns doing you know what to his you know what. An alpha is simple a leader, online manosphere groups took it to the extreme of being "the guy that gets most girls" but in truth being known helps with that whole thing.

4. Even my previous 3 points didn't resonate with you, it's just an allegory, I don't know why this particular alpha thing has hit a nerve with some many people, that even whole ass articles have been written up against it, what is the problem with men aspiring to be better? An alpha shares his spoils anyways, in Lions in Hyenas in Coyotes, etc.
Show HN: LLMling-Agent (Yet another Agent framework)
Hello! I wanted to present my own new Agent framework!

It is a "big one". Theres too much to explain in a few words.

- The by a large distance most extensive possibilty to define Agents, Teams and their message connections via YAML.

- Ability to consruct Agent workflows by two different approaches, either by creating a hierarchy of Agents, parallel teams or sequential teams, or by "connecting" Agents and creating observable and even routing-capable Connection objects

- Support for both Pydantic-AI and LiteLLM as LLM backends

- MCP server support for agents

- Strong focus on pydantic-level Typing (Structured responses, generically typed communication objects)

- Nested Agent teams which can be used like "regular" agents since both teams and Agents share a same base interface.

- A CLI which allows to create Agent workflows using a slash-command-system

and MUCH MUCH more. its really to much to cover. It doesnt have that many integrations yet, but apart from it, this kicks AutoGens and CrewAIs a*. ;)

Are you claiming externalities are unimportant?
Did you mean consumers? If you're going to ftfy to someone you should use spell check.
What social cost? You should not be so invested in your job that getting layoffs would have any social costs. There might be economic costs, but there are many ways to handle that so they don't become social costs.
You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to read an article on a phone. It's 2025; mobile browsers have been mainstream since 2007.
I don't think the original post is advocating for just "throwing in the towel" here. Instead they're simply stating that working what you're specifically contracted for is a more reasonable and sustainable model than always going "above and beyond" for little to no gain to your work life and at great cost to your personal life.

Corporations by design don't "care" about you, they only care about maximizing profits and returns for their shareholders. Sure you can get "noticed" by higher ups, but those individuals have no obligations to you in the day to day operations unless you're getting cozy with the (increasingly externally conteacted) deciders/architects of the next upcoming re-org.

It's not explicitly stated in the article, but their call-out of the behavior of large companies speaks to the missing piece of the puzzle here: the "stage" of the company's lifecycle plays a crutial role in how much your "above and beyond" contributions matter. 10 person start-up? Matters significantly. 1000+ person org? Drop in the bucket.

The panic around deepseek is getting completely disconnected from reality.

Don’t get me wrong what DS did is great, but anyone thinking this reshape the fundamental trend of scaling laws and make compute irrelevant is dead wrong.
I’m sure OpenAI doesn’t really enjoy the PR right now, but guess what OpenAI/Google/Meta/Anthropic can do if you give them a recipe for 11x more efficient training ? They can scale it to their 100k GPUs clusters and still blow everything.
This will be textbook Jevons paradox.

Compute is still king and OpenAI has worked on their training platform longer than anyone.

Of course as soon as the next best model is released, we can train on its output and catch up at a fraction of the cost, and thus the infinite bunny hopping will continue.

But OpenAI is very much alive.
Exactly. The whole goal is to remove the "skill premium" from the labor markets, as far as I can tell.

So I would argue that this whole thing is a net negative. We are spending tons of energy for net negative gains.
