Be careful you don’t mistake that for web standards compatibility.

There are many tests in there for non-standard Blink-only APIs that Google implemented unilaterally, which both Mozilla and Apple rejected on security and privacy grounds.

For instance WebUSB accounts for 845 tests, and WebNFC accounts for 173 tests. Neither of these are web standards, they are Blink-only Google APIs.
The "didn't actually care" was because, in light of all the memeing and facts, not to mention Trump's history with tariffs, they still voted for him. That would indicate to me that people don't invest much time in their voting choices and don't actually care. I personally think it was a nice talking point that converted some on the fence, but overall was just a vessel to further right wing/Christian fascism.

> a lot has changed on the Supreme Court since Nixon

Both legislation and Supreme Court precedent say that the President cannot impound funds. You seem to be arguing that it's OK for him to impound funds because the Supreme Court decision was fifty years ago and they might rule differently today.

Couldn't that argument be used to justify breaking any law? I think Trump must follow the law. Do you agree that Trump must follow the law even if the Supreme Court hasn't specifically reaffirmed that particular law recently?

(I'd feel differently if Trump illegally impounded some trivial amount of money just to get a case before the Supreme Court; but that's not what he's doing here.)
In many cases maximizing profits increases supply through efficiency, especially in the case of things like food. Increased supply is usually considered a safer place than a lower supply if it's vital.

Every step you take that makes food more expensive, some use cases of food are no longer possible (say, free eggs in all elementary schools or something).

How many of these uses are we ok eliminating so the wealthier population has a more consistent/resilient supply?
I think you're missing the point: H100 isn't going to remain useful for a long time, would you consider Tesla or Pascal graphic cards a collateral? That's what those H100 will look like in just a few years.
I mean on the one hand I agree, none of these use cases seem legitimate, and most give off very totalitarian vibes.

However for those that might not be purely 1984 inspired, I do think that we need to have legislation that is capable of making the distinction between :
- algorithms that can be reasoned about and analysed
- "AI" systems that resist such analysis

The main issue is around responsability.
Who would be held responsible for illegal (discriminatory) biases in an AI systems ?
How would regulators even detect, specify and quantify those biases ?

In non-AI systems, we can analyse the algorithm and evaluate if the biases are due to errors (negligence) or are by design (malice / large scale criminality)
I see someone in this conversation has never heard of interest.

The insurance analogy doesn't work - programming skills exist on a spectrum of daily relevance. Insurance becomes relevant in rare emergencies. Programming skills are becoming less relevant in day-to-day.

What I pointed out in my post is a trend I notice where an LLM can do more and more of a developer's work. Nowhere did I claim LLMs can replace human developers today, but when a technology consistently reduces the need for manual programming while improving its capabilities, the trajectory is clear. You can disagree with the timeline, but the transformation is already underway.

I posted on HN precisely because I wanted rigorous technical discussion, not validation.
Yeah, I filtered it mandatorily about AI or computer science

Random tidbit, I made this anemometer thing it collects data every second I think I'm at 20 million rows now since it's been running for years, what do I do with this data? nothing

It's not even calibrated to speed or anything I just have an ADC connected to a DC motor and logging the values/mapped to milliwatts via resistor value

I also had a solar cell but the coolest thing with that is seeing that bell curve or solar maximum

On the topic of personal software, I keep making note taking apps. I've made chrome extensions, mobile apps, Android widget, desktop app, etc... with multiple databases, end of the day it's just grabbing text, though recently I did go advanced and add in drag-drop image to base64 support (lazy) at some point I'm trying to unify all this data into one place with a sync mechanism
Hear, hear!

There has to be a better way about it. As I see it, to be productive, AI agents have to be able to talk about politics, because at the end of the day politics are everywhere. So following up on what they do already, they'll have to define a model's political stance (whatever it is), and to have it hold its ground, voicing an opinion or abstaining from voicing an opinion, but continuing the conversation, as a person would (at least as those of us who don't rage-quit a conversation when they hear something slightly controversial).
Half of my team's work right now is changing our abstractions because a couple clients want something slightly different, without breaking existing clients. The other half of my team's work is KLO forced on us by our dependencies needing to change their own abstractions.

It absolutely depends on the language and how heavily it encourages immutability. For example, Rust and Elixor allow shadowing.

An awkward middle ground for me is Kotlin. It allows shadowing, but warns, so it might as well not be allowed. So you end up using lots of scoping tricks to avoid either making everything mutable, or having dozens of nearly-identical variables.
I don't think you need to speculate too hard. On CNBC they are not tracking revenue, profits or technical breakthroughs, but how much the big companies are spending (on gpus). That's the metric!

It's also not true. You can keep US eggs out of the fridge with zero problems, and they do not "transpire" in a month, that's simply not true. I keep my US eggs for months at a time, out of the fridge, with zero problems.

The whole washing thing causing problems, that multiple people have replied is a myth. They spray the eggs with mineral oil afterward which works just as well. There's nothing magical about the natural coating, it's just oil.
Why Insist on a Word
I agree it's ridiculous that the mention of a politician triggers the block so feels overly tightened (which is the story of existencer for Gemini), but the alternative is that the model will have the politics of it's creators/trainers. Is that preferable to you? (I suppose that depends on how well your politics align with Silicon Valley)
> And this just really has been accelerating, I guess, in the last few years because of our political polarization and other world events.

Feels like the causality might be the other way around.
> I have always gotten better results by charting out flow diagrams and whiteboarding process changes than just "diving in and changing stuff".

In terms of a broad population, I am not sure there is a meaningful difference, though. You can iterate on your ideas on the whiteboard or you can iterate on your ideas in code, but the intent is the same. Either way you are going to throw it all away once you have settled on what should be the final iteration anyhow.

It just comes down to where you are most comfortable expressing your ideas. Some like the visuals of a diagram, others are more comfortable thinking in code, some prefer to write it out in plain English, and I'm sure others carry out the process in other ways. But at the end of the day it is all the same.

I would more likely say that the qualities that make one popular or wanting to deal with the bullshit of managing Americans disputes are in opposition to the qualities that make one qualified. See: almost every politician that’s not a Democrat. Incompetence is staggeringly bipartisan.
They're saying it might work for you, but isn't generally applicable (because most people aren't going to develop this intuition, presumably).

Not sure I agree with that. I would say there are classes of problems where LLMs will generally help and a brief training course (1 week, say) would vastly improve the average (non-LLM-trained) engineer's ability to use it productively.
I think it’s helpful to distinguish between botched DEI efforts and the broader intent behind DEI. Just because certain organizations implement it clumsily or rely on simplistic quota-filling doesn’t mean the entire idea is inherently flawed—any more than a poorly executed “merit-based” system would mean all attempts at measuring merit are invalid. If anything’s really losing credibility right now, it’s the myth of a pure American meritocracy.

At its best, DEI is about recognizing that systemic barriers exist and trying to widen the funnel so more people get a fair shot. That doesn’t have to conflict with a desire for genuinely skilled employees. Of course, there are ham-fisted applications out there (as with any policy), but that doesn’t negate the underlying principles, which aren’t just about numbers—they’re about improving access and opportunity for everyone.

But don't words have a fixed size embedding? Causal models create a sequence of attended word embeddings. It's only about 300 dimensions per one word, so it seems counterintuitive you can compress an entire reasoning chain into such a small vector.
It feels like we're back in 1900 when anyone's clever idea (and implementation) can give huge performance improvements, such as Ford's assembly line and Taylor's scientific management of optimizing shovel sizes for coal.

US eggs last exactly the same amount of time, and they do not actually require refrigeration, it's basically a custom at this point that customers expect.
I am in NJ and shelves are not empty here but the prices are off the charts. In December I bought eggs in Stop and Shop for $3.19 for a dozen of large brown eggs. Yesterday I bought the same eggs for $9.75 each.
You are asking a question that doesn’t make sense. It seems like to you it does, and to others it sounds like “what does the color blue taste like?” People do stuff for fun. It doesn’t have to be useful. Or it can be useful to them because it isn’t the existing thing. xv6 is great, this is different. It makes different choices and studying the differences can be a good thing. Comparing two different pieces of software written in the same language is sometimes exactly what you want.

The logic of “something similar already exists so don’t bother” is reductive. I am sure 99% of hobbyist software is useless to anyone but the person who wrote it. It still helps people learn and become professionals.

Remember a few weeks ago there was a post here by a high school student detailing building a laptop from scratch. Was that wasted effort because you can just buy a laptop? Was Linux wasted effort? Why does this project offend you so much that you keep commenting on it in such a negative way?
I’ve got a flock, not counting infrastructure my costs are tied directly to feed. I source local non-gmo and herbicide free grains. My cost is about $3/doz. It’s unusual to be so close to a farm that produces the variety of grain at that level of quality.

A local farm that produces on a large scale and sources grain from the same farm charges $8/doz. Seems totally fair, if not a little too cheap.
We are definetely not emailing you, it could be the service we use to crowdsource translations (localazy). I suggest removing the account from there or check their settings? (as we do not have control over these emails)
Vimeo has tried to prioritize indie feature discovery from what I can tell. Not sure what its ownership or business is. Also not sure how it compares to (in music) soundcloud's or bandcamp's approaches.
There aren't many mono-cultures as strong as silicon valley politics. Where this intersects with my beliefs I love it, but where it doesn't it is maddening. I suspect that's how most people feel.

But anyway, when one is rarely or never challenged on their beliefs, they become rusty. Do you trust them to do a good job training their own views into the model, let alone training in the views of someone on the opposite side of the spectrum?
Try out the new models at https://aistudio.google.com.

It's a great way to experiment with all the Gemini models that are also available via the API.

If you haven't yet, try also Live mode at https://aistudio.google.com/live.

You can have a live conversation with Gemini and have the model see the world via your phone camera (or see your desktop via screenshare on the web), and talk about it. It's quite a cool experience! It made me feel the joy of programming and using computers that I had had so many times before.
Are eggs regularly transported long distances in the USA? I don't think I've seen eggs from outside Denmark for sale in Denmark, though many other things (cheese, meat) are.

If people in Minnesota (same population) aren't regularly buying eggs from out of state, then the comparison with Denmark holds.
My local sellers are $4/doz for the good ones, $5/18 from another seller whose eggs taste 'off' so I quit buying them. I think $4/doz for quality eggs is worth it.

This is also hopefully a catalyst to get people to petition their city for backyard chicken rights. Raising chickens is relatively easy and can be rewarding. Even if you don't want to personally, support the right of those around you to, please.

Actually the inconvenient truth is that it's not.

Free range birds are able to interact and spread the disease more easily than the caged birds which can be quarantined. At least in my location all the cage free inventory is totally wiped out.

Paper retracted after author told journal study was 'not performed'
The local farms here at least are being really cautious about testing and isolation. Many of them sell their eggs to the local grocery stores, so they are bound to the same standards as other eggs.

I don’t see what benefit they would gain by not testing, anyway: if their flock is infected and a significant portion of the birds die, they are going to lose revenue the same way a massive egg producer would. If anything, I’d imagine them to want to be more cautious, since they have fewer eggs in their basket as it were (fewer total chickens).
Thank you for the kind words.

I just remember feeling like I had been punched in the gut after some of these conversations. It was like history had come alive right before my eyes.

I remember having a few sleepless nights just processing the things I had been told.

I remember almost throwing up once (the night after the story about the trains). I just couldn’t believe the level of depravity was so easily able to exist with basically no questions asked.

I remember my naive younger self thinking about what I would have done had I been in their shoes. It didn’t take me long to realize that I probably wouldn’t have done much differently, mainly because their range of options were so limited (or at least perceived to be so, with detention, death, or “disappearing”being the consequence if you were wrong).

I also remember them talking about neighbors snitching on each other (probably to the gestapo, but it could have been another entity). Some neighbors with petty intentions would make up false claims about neighbors they didn’t like. This forced everyone to be on “perfect behavior”, and it sowed a lot of distrust in normally tight-knit communities. There was one story about a tattle-tale who had a come-uppance, but I can’t remember any of the details. I think that was the first time the word Schadenfreude came alive to me… it existed in that story on multiple levels.

I think "deciding whether to emotionally respond" to something... isn't emotion?

Emotion is something you feel, not something you decide to allow yourself to feel.

Like, if I hear about someone being raped or murdered, how am I not going to have an emotional reaction of sadness or anger to that? And ultimately what use was that emotion? I cannot prevent the event happening, it has already happened, I am just a voyeur to someone else's tragedy.

Most of the news is like that. It's events that have already happened, that I can do nothing about but I'm vaguely meant to be up to date with because.... reasons? Some vague concept that everyone is meant to have an inch deep understanding of current events so they've got something to gossip about?

I truly don't see the point or the benefit.
Those are all great policies. And yes credits to buyers is pretty stupid.

With a grain of salt - any hiring lawsuit by its nature is going to be a discrimination case.

The fact that everyone is really quick to just throw around DEI = discrimination is kind of my point. Even the text of the Brigida lawsuit clearly points out that nobody would have a problem with the FAA increasing minority representation in other ways.

This is further complicated by the fact that not all RDBMS engines are created equally.

LLMs present themselves in a favorable light when taking personality tests
I tried to solve this problem by making AI rank the stories by significance and rewriting the news titles in a boring, factual style.

I think it worked quite well, there's only about 10 headlines a day (out of 15k+) that get a significance rating higher than of 5.5 out of 10.

It also helps avoiding the overfocus on western issues and actually learn what's happening around the world.
