Modern operating systems should include by default a very simple private/public key system to sign arbitrary files. I think it should not be very complicated? We badly need this in the age of AI.
You mean you haven't observed the same issues Boeing has yet.
Then you are only hearing whatever you want to hear, because I am not saying anything even remotely like that.

You may believe that society is broken in whatever way you chose but saying, "society is bad, and cults are bad, therefore society is a cult" is utterly broken logic.

My nuclear fire hot take is that the chat pattern is actively hampering AI tools because we have to square peg -> round hole things either into the chat UI (because that's what people expect), or that as developers you have to square peg -> round hole into the chat API patterns.

Last night I wrote an implementation of an AI paper and it was so much easier to just discard the automatic chat formatting and do it "by hand": https://github.com/Xe/structured-reasoning/blob/main/index.j...

I wonder if foundation models are an untapped goldmine in terms of the things they can do, but we can't surface them to developers because everyone's stuck in the chat pattern.
That’s a funny statement because the other side of the world from the US includes places like Ukraine and central Africa (which is currently gearing up for a Third Congo War).

Enjoy the Pax Americana while it lasts. You won’t like what comes next.
That's truly a shame. And I don't believe accessibility is the same as DEI.
Apple's attempt to intervene in the Google Search antitrust trial is denied
That pretty much sums up the objection from EFF: as written, it would ban both publishing research and reading research for pretty much all of AI.

It's unlikely that this will ever get out of committee, of course.
There's a fun thing Windows has started doing where if you sign in with your Microsoft account (instead of an increasingly hard to create local account), Bitlocker is silently set up on your behalf and you don't know until something changes with your system configuration
Good choice, one of my best investments ever. Get to 100 shares and sell some covered calls.
The Marines are working in close support drone for their amphibious ships. The proposals are the size of helicopters.

The problem is that can’t do short range from ships because it is too dangerous to get close to shore. Anti-ship missiles are common now, and guided artillery and glide bombs are possible.

Finally, drones haven’t been useful against ships in Red Sea, and some are good size. Speed matters for getting through defenses. The slow and small ones can be shot down by guns or rockets, the fast ones are anti-ship missiles.
install linux, get vmware pro for free and install win 11 in a VM. VMWare emulates TPM so it will run like a charm. Only thing you need is 8Gigs or so extra ram.
plus you have the benefits of running windows in a VM. No backup problems, snapshot funcionality, etc etc.
works absolute fine for me
You need to know your friends' addresses for mail. For both, you have to send out invites individually. People want to make a list of names and phone numbers and send out a blast. They then want a low-effort, centralized place to receive and manage RSVPs.
Do we get to deploy a litmus test now to discern between simple excitement or fetid fanboyism? Not to mention unpaid shilling which is just sad and utterly demoralising. I mean at least get paid (disc: I don't mean you directly and personally).
They were hosting a StackOverflow copy, which is OK because of Creative Commons. All my answers were still under my name as it should be.

The only difference to the original was my profile picture, which was an explicit porn image.

For several weeks everyone searching for my name or my StackOverflow answers saw that. I'm glad that I was not looking for a job at the time.

I exhausted all possibilities on all channels to rectify this situation short of using a lawyer.
I put a lot of effort into getting things in order and seriously considered going the legal route but ultimately decided against it mainly because courts are hit and miss here when it comes to reputation damage of regular individuals as opposed to companies or celebrities.

EDIT: I should have answered your question how this is Hetzner's fault more directly. The website they were hosting did not have the (in Germany) mandatory legal notice (Impressum) or any contact details. This shifts the responsibility to the provider (Providerhaftung). Also I would like to note that I did neither request them to give me their customer's details nor to shut down the site. All I wanted was them to work with their customer to have the offending image removed.

Also I am convinced the porn image was not malice but an accident. The scraper replaced all profile images with ones they probably scraped from a forum. I was just unlucky to get a very indecent one. Had Hetzner collaborated I'm pretty sure this could have been resolved in no time.
I agree, and I think this means there is a lot of space for trying new things. I think cursor was a small glimpse in trying to fix the split between purely GitHub copilot line revision (this interrupts my thoughts too much) and calling in for help via a chat window that you're copying and pasting from.

I think this post shows there could be a couple levels of indirection, some kind of combination of the "overarching design doc" that is injected into every prompt, and a more tactical level syntax/code/process that we have with something like a chat window that is code aware. I've definitely done some crazy stuff by just asking something really stupid like "Is there any way to speed this up?" and Claude giving me some esoteric pandas optimization that gave me a 100x speedup.

I think overall the tools have crazy variance in quality of output, but I think with some "multifacet prompting", ie, code styling, design doc, architect docs, constraints, etc you might end up with something that is much more useful.

That...is going to depend heavily on whether we are, collectively, somehow able to reduce the risk of fire there for future years.

If, in the long term, the probability of having your house in the LA hills burn down over a given 5-year span approaches 1, the desirability of homes there is not just going to be down over the short or medium term.

I worked on this project a bit! These are great questions.

Fine-tuning works very well for style (as opposed to factual knowledge), which is all we're trying to achieve here -- as another commenter put it, it's a "comedy bit" for a company Slack.

In fact, fine-tuning for style works well enough that we find it pretty easy to just re-train when new models come out. There's sometimes some YAML-fiddling required to get training frameworks to work with different model series (e.g. a DeepSeek series model vs a LLaMA series model), but it's not too onerous. IMO, the ideal ML pipeline looks less like the bespoke process common these days and more like a materialized view (shouts to pgML). That's easy to automate and so reduces the gap with prompting.

On the other hand, it seemed harder to craft a generic system prompt and a generic retrieval system that would work across organizations to define user communication style.

Anything that needs to be filtered for viewing again pretty much needs version control. Email largely fails at that, as hard as other correspondence systems. That said, we have common workflows that use email to build reviewed artifacts.

People love complaining about the email workflow of git, but it is demonstrably better than any chat program for what it is doing.
Microsoft has amazing resources[0] for gaming accessibility and also provide services for auditing accessibility during development. While I haven't been directly involved in a project using them I did take part of their report for one of the games developed at my previous job (Thunderful) and was really impressed by how thorough it was.

With all that said, I can't find anything there about motion sickness. I must just be missing it, right? Also, the only reference I find to VR are in relation to UI scale.

Launch HN: Pinch (YC W25) – Video conferencing with immersive translation
Hey HN! I'm Christian, and my co-founder Keyu and I are building Pinch (https://startpinch.com), a virtual conferencing platform with translation that mimics your voice and synchronizes your lips in real-time to make you sound and appear as a native speaker in over 15 languages.

Here's a demo: https://youtu.be/Cu7KlbZ3gjw, but you can also try it for free on our website.

Over the last three years, Keyu and I were working in a company where we had to lead engineering and research teams across the U.S., China, India, and Europe. We felt the language barrier actively limiting our team's potential in terms of collaboration + productivity. The existing tools we tried operated in low-bandwidth mediums (mostly text), which 1) means they are slower because they need to convert audio to text before translation, and 2) lose all information of how something was said.

At that point we knew there had to be a better way to connect across different languages and cultures, so we started building Pinch. Shortly after, we found out how challenging translation truly was. Balancing latency/accuracy for chunk-based audio translation, capturing inflection and tonality per statement, handling culturally specific phrasing, and making a seamless meeting experience are all unsolved problems we're taking on.

So far, we've seen some really interesting use-cases (many we hadn't considered!), from personal connections like a first conversation with foreign in-laws, to more business-oriented usage in sales and meeting foreign clients.

After a long experience building conversation AI video/audio, we're incredibly excited to see what these same technologies can unlock for human<>human communication.

You can try a demo or create a meeting for free: https://startpinch.com

All feedback is appreciated, and we'd love to know how we're doing on the overall meeting UX and translation accuracy for your language. Thanks all!

Good to know that I need to now assume performances are AI generated even if it's not obvious that they are!
This was not the case when I worked in the Federal government. There were different levels and kinds of clearances and while it was true that you could work with less sensitive stuff while the background check process worked its way through, you couldn't go into and view anything elevated w/o the right clearance, or even be in the room pretty much.

To me this argument makes no sense. Apple should never introduce any new features or services to their ecosystem because it might increase “social pressure” to get an iPhone?
It's an interesting reversal and highlights the power of competition - as a young part-time employee in college, my employer automatically contributed a few hundred dollars for me to a 403(b) type of retirement savings account. Fidelity was the custodian and after I left the job, it imposed a substantial monthly fee that eventually ate all of the money in the account, leaving me with zero. I always remember that episode when dealing with Fidelity.

> If the mortgage application evaluation system is deterministic so that the same input always produces the same output then it is easy to answer "Why was my application rejected?".

But banks, at least in my country (central EU), don't have to explain their reasons for rejecting a mortgage application. So why would their automated systems have to?
Thanks for sharing. Whether you know it or not, your story is an inspiration.

Exactly. HN and YC as a whole are all in on this administration and the coup. It's the reason why important pieces such as this are keep going to get buried and censored because they and most of the community at large can't handle the truth.

It's sad really.
I did some googling because I was bored and while you're technically correct you're deconstructing a complex topic down to the bare basics.

And it doesn't work unless you buy your bitcoin peer to peer, as any exchange will just leave a log relating your buying to your wallet, and liquidate it peer to peer as well. Any transactions with regulated institutions will doxx your wallet and then it's over, you can't use those funds anymore without being tracked (or at least trackable) by the feds.
Hell, even libertarians don't know what they believe.
They don't need to. Android users can do the most important thing advertised here (RSVP) without the app or an iPhone. Also, hopefully the EU has better things to do than constantly force Apple to support Android users (for free!) at the same level of quality as their own customers.
Maybe you're misunderstanding the point of research. Research groups set constraints not only for practical reasons, but so that the novelty in their papers isn't bogged down by edge cases. It seems absurd to just wholesale reject the usefulness of all research papers just on account of your own failure to properly make use of them.
It is to me too! I would never do that normally. It's just that it was THAT bad.

It took me MONTHS to figure out how to sell a particular fund to buy another one. Somehow every time I tried to do it, it failed. I kept coming back to it over and over and different things went wrong. It was also very difficult to figure out the status of an order.

It was literally that clunky, and I've been trading for decades. I run multiple businesses, I know how these things work, but their UI was awful.
+1 to being really really sceptical of anyone claiming to have a 10 year old system that supports it. Skylake is literally well known for not supporting TPM 2.0 and the i7-6700K is still considered reasonably high end by todays standards (tech hasn't moved fast in the past decade and the 14nm Skylakes aren't that far off the 14nm+++++ high end variants Intel sells today).

The first draft of TPM 2.0 was 2015. The finalized version was Nov 2019. Intel 8th gen and above do have the option to upgrade to TPM 2.0 via a firmware update but as you point out those CPUs are not 10 years old.

That's one of the problems with this TPM 2.0 requirement. Tech has not moved fast in the past decade and the requirement is asking people to throw away 10 year old systems that can still easily beat today's midrange lineup.

I think what OP may be experiencing is that Windows 11 does install on older TPM 1.x hardware. It just nags to upgrade the hardware to TPM 2.0.
If anyone's looking for an open source alternative (and maybe wants to contribute to it) we're working on it here! [1]

We actually started before this was announced, and initially it was developed for a somewhat different use case (more focusing on "recurring invites"), but since it was asked a few times, I think we can offer a good alternative with it. [2]

It was never about a perceived moral crusade against fentanyl and addiction at large. It's only ever been about throwing our weight around to disrupt alliances and institutions with the goal of destroying American soft power.
Discord and slack baffle me. I liked them specifically because they were more ephemeral than other options. Which, seems at odds with how people want them to be? Why?

>As I’ve said many times, you might disagree but it was intentional. The Xbox one was an 8x1. 75GHz CPU, and some of that was reserved for system use

I'm sorry, the Xbox One was a what CPU?

Doesn't matter, it's possible that loading in uncompressed audio takes more CPU and RAM resources than just decompressing good MP3 audio. Nobody else ships uncompressed audio, and Titanfall 2 did not release with uncompressed audio.

Mind you, this was like 30gb of uncompressed audio, including several different audio languages. No matter how you played the game, most of that 30gb was unused.

> I should just be able to hit a button or navigate through a couple menus.

The problem with this is that you need a gazillion of menus, dialogs and options to find that modal which does the thing _exactly_ what you want. Menus and likes are a means to an end, we don't really want them, but up until recently we couldn't live without them. With instruct based computing this is all changing.

I'll take responsibility for deciding what code to trust, though. Letting Apple decide what code I have permission to run is a non-starter.
Yeah, I think everyone knows this was preventable.

The idea that "people failed the Dems" causes me a lot of anger at this point, because the folks who had the power to prevent this preferred to slip ever rightward in their platform instead of recognizing any number of highly popular non-conservative positions.

People often say "elections have consequences" but they are rarely saying "the democrats need to take this as an objective lesson about how badly they failed to represent their constituencies".

Instead Democratic party apologists go into fantasies about Bernie Bros and Russian Interference, while they materially fail to do literally anything useful about the very real current issues.

The Democrats need to understand that the election was so close that they could have won if they hadn't worked against themselves at the party level at every turn- if they had a primary of any kind they might have won.

I absolutely don't agree that "voting blue" would have fixed this- I think this is the consequence of "voting blue" in 2020 and giving the DNC the idea that they can literally run a piece of toast and win against trump.
Has anyone invited an LLM inside their lisp process that can be accessed from the repl? Being able to empower an LLM to be able to affect the running lisp image (compile functions etc), and having changes reflected back to the source on disk would be interesting.
Everyone is going to make this about money or unions or etc, but my employer briefly worked with some ATC employee groups and I can tell you exactly why they are short staffed:

- The FAA has strict hiring requirements. You have to be mentally and physically capable, and by their own admission less than 10% of applicants are qualified for the job. https://www.faa.gov/air-traffic-controller-qualifications

- The training and onboarding process is incredibly long, and turnover is high

- The fundamentals and technology of the job have not changed in decades, despite air traffic exploding in recent years

- Most people are just not capable of the amount of stress and risk associated with the job

- Seriously, it's a really freaking stressful job

I would argue an ATC employee is worth every penny, but I also don't think there is a magical amount of money where you are going to suddenly double your pool of candidates willing to do this kind of work. These people are already very well compensated, and at a certain point you are just going to be cannibalizing other talent pools.

The real need is new and modern technology that automates much of the mistake-prone, human-centric tasks. But nobody wants to risk introducing changes to such a fragile system.

I didn't vote for Trump, but I am supportive of the rest of the world moving on from America. We can't regulate our own companies, we support genocidal states that ignore international law, and we elected a property mogul as president. America cannot be taken seriously as a nation anymore, and I think that's a good realization to make.

The next 4 years should represent a global divestment from America for software manufacturing and a collapse of the "educated" workforce that we foster. I expect SWE salaries to drop dramatically, luxury electronics prices to climb upwards and overall the state of FAANG will be even more shambolic than it is already.

True, Hitler mostly lost a war due to megalomania and spending 1/4th of naval budget on big destroyer instead of producing more ubots.
This makes perfect sense when you consider who is making the decisions. If you are trying to, say, replace an ad-buying team with an AI that supposedly does the job better, your goal has to be to sell it at a high enough level that the political pressure of having the old department employed doesn't tank everything regardless of results.

One can try to sell to a CEO than an IT department is a cost center, and they can bring in the same results for less. But to replace a CEO you need to sell to the board, and the board is typically full of CEOs. Even a far superior CEO that costs $1 a day is a hard sell when the CEO is your buddy, and you aren't going to be making a mint as a board member for getting rid of said buddy.
I'm curious if you find their new website interface more tractable--there's some inherent friction to the prompting in either case, but I'd like to know if the Discord chat interface can be overcome by using a different interface or if the issue is more intrinsic.
