Part of the problem may be the US dollar being the reserve currency. This increases the value of the dollar relative to other currencies, and makes our cost of production higher. The dollar itself crowds out exports, similar how with Dutch disease fossil fuels crowd out other exports.

Economics is far from an exact science though, there's many other possible factors.
That effort is somewhere between stalled and dead. Matt Emerson was funded to work on it, but that funding fell through a few months ago. I made him an offer to resume the work but he hasn't accepted it and hasn't said why. So unless there is someone else out there who is capable of doing this, it's not looking good.
Curious, how did you get this contract?! I'd love a retro game dev gig like this. I have projects on RHDN on several different retro consoles and processors (6502 / Z80 / 65C816) and can work my way around WLA and the Mesen debugger with the best of 'em!

Also did you come up with a famicom audio expansion chip yourself? That's amazing!
> At 10:38 pm, SWAT entered the house and used a stun grenade to conceal their movements, but were driven back outside by gunshots (though criminalists would later establish that they were not fired upon). During the next 10.2 hours, a Lenco BearCat was driven through the front door, tear gas and 40 mm grenades were repeatedly launched inside, shots were fired upon the house, and explosives were detonated to destroy several exterior walls.

Whether or not police have any imperative to consider the impact of their actions, this situation was clear incompetence and reckless destruction. They're just as much doing their job by forcing drug tests on random people. The person may not have been on drugs, but all police would have to do is say they saw "erratic behavior".

> Like maybe the damages should come out of the department budget initially and then they could get a judge to decide how much of that was the suspect's fault and recover that amount from them, assuming they can pay?

This is just a different bad incentive; it incentivizes police to completely ignore situations or to find someone to hold accountable. Just extend the logic to the other expenses of an investigation- hourly pay, overtime, materials, forensics. Making a criminal pay for their own arrest is a terrible idea.

Police should pay for all the drug tests they demand, and for all the damages incurred in the process of investigating or arresting a suspect. Those things are not related to the crime itself, like a fine is. They are part of the cost of investigation and operation.
Issue I have with Cline that I don't run into with, say, Aider, is that I find Cline to be like 10x more expensive. The number of tokens it blows through is incredible. Is that just me?
If money is the representation of the cooperative effort that has come before you, then hoarding wealth is holding human cooperation hostage.

In order for an economy to function, currency needs to, you know, be current. If you lock up current in a capacitor, it’s only potential energy, and it can leach away to nothing. Kinetic energy is what makes things actually happen.

I do agree with you on the dangers of centralized planning. But it’s a necessary evil. Indeed, there could be no wealth to hoard without centralized authority, because it is that authority that gives wealth (in its modern form, fiat currency) its value. Unless you want to go back to warlords, rape, pillage, slavery? Surely the leopards would never eat my face?

At the very least, you need to pay the devil his due in terms of the military that maintain the reality of the nation’s existence and soft power, in order for that fiat currency, economy, and way of life to even function at all. Not to mention all the other agencies that afford our modern quality of life.

That’s not the same as a feudal lord extracting his tribute because we elect the leaders that serve us and place limits on their occupation in the seat of power, as much as it would seem that some people want to do away with that system.
You work on a team named after a meme.

Such rhyme. Much knowledge.
Wow.
It's important to point out, and this not an understatement, that they believe that democracy is a failed project. Democracy in their eyes is either a failed experiment or obsolete.

They share a belief that "change from within"[democracy] is impossible and that "exiting" is the only other option. This extends to governance models where people are encouraged to vote for their governance by packing up and moving (digitally and/or physically) rather than attempting change from within.
> Stalin, neglecting the relevant intelligence and then focusing on Moscow

The seventh panzer division was within 29 km of Moscow in November, I am not sure how much or how strategic diverting resources from Moscow's defense could help Leningrad.
With recent developments (last 10ish years) of electron, proton, wine and everything moving to the web I don't need windows anymore. Installed ubuntu on 5 year old thinkpad and it works like a charm, even JetBrains IDEs are available from the app store. I tried windows 11 on that laptop but it was sluggish.

Smart is not the same thing as qualified. None of these qualifications you've listed have anything to do with running a government agency.

People around here love to talk about the Dunning–Kruger effect, but seem to be of the mistaken belief that it is about smart vs dumb people rather than people with domain expertise vs people without.
> But the Soviets chose to abandon it.

They "chose" to abandon it? Weren't they forced to retreat by the german army who encircled it and chose to starve out the population rather than directly attack the city?

> The article mentions it below even:

That reads like ww2 german propaganda. What did you expect. People in moscow to starve also? "Lashings of caviar"? Give me a break.

Also, once the soviets repelled the german attack on moscow, didn't the soviets liberate leningrad? If the soviets were as cruel as you claim, why would they even bother? Not only that, it's known the soviets tried to get food into the city even before they liberated the city.

> Nor did the Soviets acknowledge the extent of the suffering.

Is this a joke? The soviets took every opportunity to paint the germans as barbaric. The starvation of leningrad isn't some secret nobody knew about.

The easiest way to tell if some historical anecdote is true or not is how cartoonish the caricature becomes. Both on the positive/heroic and negative/villain side of the history.
I call it 'structured prompting' [think pseudo-code]. It strikes a nice balance between human-readable logic and structured programming, allowing the LLM to focus on generating accurate code based on clear steps. It’s especially useful when you want to specify the what (the logic) without worrying too much about the how (syntax and language-specific details). If you can create an effective system that supports this kind of input, it would likely be a big step forward in making code generation more intuitive and efficient. Good old UML could also be used.

Example of a Structured Pseudo-Code Prompt:

Let’s say you want to generate code for a function that handles object detection:

'''Function: object_detection
Input: image
Output: list of detected objects

Steps:
1. Initialize model (load pretrained object detection model)

2. Preprocess the image (resize, normalize, etc.)

3. Run the image through the model

4. Extract bounding boxes and confidence scores from the model's output

5. Return objects with confidence greater than 0.5 as a list of tuples (object_name, bounding_box)

Language: Python'''
Yes, more like it.
Minimizing the suffering of Soviet people in the WWII is always wrong. Sure members ate better than, but they still suffered. Caviar is a local and canned food. The Soviet people saved the world from the Nazi horror, and we must forever grateful.

Yeah I don’t get the Greenland thing. I think it is all grandstanding.

But I appreciate dictator Trump. If they wanted to go to war with Denmark they would just crush them openly, rather than as they do today with countries who disagree with them, where we covertly undermine them to get what we want.

Though maybe I’m a bit of an enigma, I don’t think the US should’ve declared independence from Britain, and wish we still had a monarchy. Problem is kings need to be noble, which none of our politicians, including Trump, seem to be.

Oh well. Peace to you on the other side of the pond.
>Because the US can't "easily subsidize the shipbuilders, pay for training programs, and so on." It has an ideological dysfunction that prevents that. Even if you could manage to get a program like that passed, there's a large chance it'd get cut in 10 years by some libertarian to pay for yet another tax cut.

I need to weigh in on this, I think. I don't know of many libertarians that would refuse to make an exception for strategic industries... you can't buy your ammunition from the enemy, even if their price is half of the domestic cost. And you can't even really be sure who your enemies will be when you find yourself desperately needing it.

If there was ever any objection to these subsidies and programs, I suggest that we might look at the neocons and neoliberals instead of the libertarians.

>That's only because of how the Constitution apportions senators and the electoral college. Farmers are spread out in a way that gives them disproportionate political power.

Well, about that... I sort of think maybe our food supply is also one of those strategic industries. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
We can, though? A sugar tax.
This is called a cooperative, and it is completely legal. However, they tend not to be very successful in the marketplace, outside of a few outliers.

If you separate revenue and control (employees get to vote on decisions, but investors get the revenue), then employees will be incentivized to maintain the status quo instead making decisions to make the company successful. The employees have almost no incentive to make difficult decisions like cutting unsuccessful lines of business etc. I would be very uneasy about investing anyone's retirement savings into such an organization.

If you keep revenue and control combined (a simple share structure, where each share gets a piece of the revenue and a vote, and employees get shares when they join), then you have other paradoxes. To make this work, you need to prohibit employees from selling their shares to investors, otherwise you're back to a conventional corporation. You also need to take the shares away from employees when they leave the company, otherwise former employees become a de facto investor class that you wanted to avoid. As an employee, I would prefer to work at a company where my equity does not have these restrictions placed on it.

You may say "but if we all just tried a little harder to believe in a better world it could be possible". But it is possible now. Cooperatives work easily under existing corporate law, and are even incentivized in some places. They just aren't very successful for the reasons above. The only widespread form of cooperative is doctor's and lawyer's practices, which are legally required to be organized as cooperatives through a limited liability partnership structure.

To make cooperatives work in the broader marketplace, you'd have to force employees to accept restrictions on their equity or force savers to put their money into cooperatives managed by employees who are not incentivized to invest it well.
Yes, it is slower (but it has gotten better), but now that I have a tabbed explorer, it's really hard to go back to the single-window per dir version.

I'm sure there's a performant 3rd party extension that would fit the bill, but I'm too lazy atm.
We don't profit from fentanyl deaths.
It's wild to me that despite tremendous resources and 100+ years of time capitalism still kills millions of people a year with starvation and preventable diseases. But every right winger has a pet wikipedia page about a failed communist state with no critical examination of why they failed beyond "communism bad".

To clarify my stance I'm an anarchist and that page has a lot of good examples of successful worker owned collectives.
A bit of a strange list. I.e. I'm not sure that "The Hubble atlas of galaxies" by Allan Sandage is that influential really.
Also I went there to check if the Jaynes's Probability Theory book was there or not, but it is not.
I wonder what its install base will be like.

Tim Sweeney (of Epic/Unreal/Fortnite) is not a reliable narrator, but he's on record saying:

> Valve has done an amazing job there; I wish they would get to tens of millions of users, at which point it would actually make sense to support it.

Windows has never been my primary system, but there are times when I've had one because I wanted to do something (long ago 3D modeling, now PCVR) that wasn't supported on my main systems. If I could do that just as easily in e.g. SteamOS, Windows would once again exit my life.
> This is the core problem. You can’t build real software without being precise about what you want.

I've tested a few integrated AI dev tools and it works like a charm. I don't type all my instructions at once. I do it the same way as I do it with code. Iteratively:

1) Create a layout

2) Fill left side

3) Fill right side

4) Connect components

5) Populate with dummy data

> The first company to get this will own the next phase of AI development tools.

There's more than 25 working on this problem and they are already in production and some are really good.
The advantages of democracy are a peaceful transition of power and non-violent outlets for political action. That is to say, you don’t have to worry about a succession war when the king dies, and if people don’t like what the government is doing they tend to advocate and vote rather than try to overthrow it.

These advantages don’t really apply to companies. Your life isn’t tied to a company the way it is to your government, so if you don’t like how they chose the leader or what they’re doing, you can leave.
I'm surprised that the article (and comments) haven't mentioned Cursor.

Agreed that copy pasting context in and out of ChatGPT isn't the fastest workflow. But Cursor has been a major speed up in the way I write code. And it's primarily through a chat interface, but with a few QOL hacks that make it way faster:

1. Output gets applied to your file in a git-diff style. So you can approve/deny changes.

2. It (kinda) has context of your codebase so you don't have to specify as much. Though it works best when you explicitly tag files ("Use the utils from @src/utils/currency.ts")

3. Directly inserting terminal logs or type errors into the chat interface is incredibly convenient. Just hover over the error and click the "add to chat"
It shouldn't be their decision to make. If someone makes $5 a year and wants to let that accumulate with their distributor until they get $50 why should Spotify get to come in and say "sorry, we're taking your earnings and giving it to someone else"?
Imposing tariffs, further impoverishing the poor, in order to not show compassion for your own citizens? That doesn’t just sound backwards, it just is. The fentanyl crisis is just being used as an excuse to impose the tariffs. By now it’s well known that Trump desperately wants to proof his professor wrong and if the world has to burn, so be it.
One or two illegal measures would not be a coup, but if the president arrogates himself dictatorial powers, that is a coup. Trump is taking wide-ranging, illegal measures to fundamentally alter the nature of the American government. Constitutional rule very well could be coming to an end in the US.
Why are you intentionally misrepresenting what they said?
In Islam, jinns are described as being made of smokeless fire. They have societies, schools, marriages, etc. They can be good, bad, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, whatever. They're parallel to us, "physically" speaking. Of course they can be contacted as well, but don't try that at home.
I'm confused. The US also banned incandescent lamps?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent_ligh...

> A ban covering most general service incandescent lamps took effect in the United States in 2023

So you can't even buy them in the US anymore, either. And cheap LEDs are available everywhere, with many color temperatures to choose from.
That sounds like something that's also not that risky. Short lived, temporary access point with randomized BSSID/mac address should not be useful for long term tracking if done well.

History will record that HN decided to Flag every single story about it.
How do you plan to ensure the quality of content?
> A bit like when MS bought Skype and moved it from peer to peer voice to a central server based system with no monetary gain from doing that, someone obviously decided that needed to be done.

This one is less nefarious, IMHO. Sure, a central server makes it easier to snoop. But, it also meant you could reliably get messages sent while you were offline. Skype had been built around desktops with consistent connections, but needed to adapt to intermittent connectivity of laptops and barely any connectivity of iPhone. Older smart phones like s60, blackberry, and windows mobile could support always on background apps, but iPhone only has very limited background execution, and it was originally much more limited... now you can do a voip push and do some communications before you post a notification, but around the the time of the change, notifications had to be composed on a server and sent fully formed --- there was no way to run code on push.

And supernodes had already been centralized.
I suspect it has a lot more to do with the concentration of mobile devs and FOSS types here, along with people who really can't understand that not everyone wants their phone to be something other than "Working out of the box."

Show HN: Shell Sage – AI-Powered Terminal Assistant
Hey HN,
I built Shell Sage – an AI-powered CLI assistant that helps with:

Error diagnosis (explains terminal errors & suggests fixes)
Natural language to command translation
Safe execution workflows (confirm before running risky commands)
It supports local LLMs (Ollama) and multiple API providers.
It's still in the early stages, and I’d love feedback from CLI power users!

I suspect it has to do with mental models. For my model, at large, conversations are worthless. Anyone that tries to hold you to a conversation from weeks ago that didn't secure a stronger commitment is almost certainly flying loose and more than willing to selectively choose what they want to be committed to.

Does that mean I can't have some pleasure in conversing about things? Of course not. But, I also enjoy some pleasure there from the low stakes and value that a conversation has. It should be safe to be wrong. If you have a conversation spot where being wrong is not safe, then I question what is the advantage of that over trying to adopt a legalese framework for all of your communication?

I'm not arguing that what USA is doing is normal, either.
Sounds good to me too. Wasn't making a comparison between administrations, just pointing out that Trump, Musk, and co do not appear to be hiding any of their activities. The idea that releasing documents is a smokescreen makes no sense when this administration is constantly announcing everything they're working on.
There's an animation in Sea of Thieves when you're digging for treasure that kills me. It is this huge up and down swing of the camera.
> they'll make fewer assumptions and ask clarifying questions before going ahead and writing code.

Which model are you talking about here? Because with ChatGPT, I struggle with getting it to ask any clarifying questions before just dumping code filled with placeholders I don't want, even when I explicitly prompt it to ask for clarification.

> Fidelity uses those funds as marketing, and they make up for it with all the other services and funds they offer. It's intentional, and it's working.

> Vanguard is more and more becoming a group that just wants to run ETFs and if you want to use them, they're making it harder and harder. They recently dumped all their 401(k) and similar plans from being in-house to some other provider.

If this is true, then it must for individuals.. My company moved a little over a year ago TO vanguard for 401ks
It seems bad to fix a problem that can be addressed by self control. It's like making a bulky un-aerodynamic car go farther by adding a bigger engine/more fuel. But I understand too when you're 100s of lbs overweight it can seem impossible to change. I work out myself but my motivation is to get laid vs. actually embracing health I still binge eat for fun.

Preach!

I’ve been saying this since 2018
> Under the bloc’s approach, there are four broad risk levels: (1) Minimal risk (e.g., email spam filters) will face no regulatory oversight; (2) limited risk, which includes customer service chatbots, will have a light-touch regulatory oversight; (3) high risk — AI for healthcare recommendations is one example — will face heavy regulatory oversight; and (4) unacceptable risk applications — the focus of this month’s compliance requirements — will be prohibited entirely.

I think this is a massive oversight, for a few reasons:

1. Things will continue to be done, just elsewhere. The EU could find itself scrambling to catch-up (again) because of their own regulation.

2. Increased oversight is only part of the picture, the real challenge is that even with the oversight, proving that AI is acceptably safe, or that the risk is acceptable.

3. Some things are inherently not safe, e.g. war. I know many (almost all) military tech companies using AI, and the EU is about to become an impossible investment zone for these guys.

I think this will make investment into the EU tough, given tonnes of investment is now focused around AI. AI is and will likely remain the fuel to economic growth for quite some time, and the EU adding a time/money tax to the fuel.
