It appears as though you've misunderstood some things.

Disaster relief and SSP are two separate appropriations by Congress. They are not "financed by FEMA", they're budgets directed by Congress and signed into law by the President.

The federal government has (in one form or another) been reimbursing state and local governments (and NGOs) for housing migrants released from federal custody since President Trump signed the "Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act, 2019". This did not deprive FEMA of disaster relief funds.

Secondly, SSP replaced EFSP-H. You appear to have added the budget of SSP for FY24 and EFSP-H for FY23 together to conclude "a billion per year" but that's rounding up by several hundred million dollars.

To put this in perspective, the House budget plan released yesterday expects to increase the DHS budget by 90 billion dollars of taxpayer money next year.

Thirdly, the $750 is not "for losing their homes". It's literal emergency money. It's the first thing you get when applying for FEMA assistance, not the entirety of assistance you can receive, which for housing alone is upwards of $30,000.

I don't think that "rant" indicates in anyway that he wouldn't want to be paid for his work(even by a corporation). In fact he directly calls it a luxury. He is simply pointing out that people put up with different things based on whether they get paid for it or not. And that given that the current workflow of the kernel may work for people whose job it is to interact with it, but not necessarily for people who aren't being paid.
Elon Musk needs it most of all, he’s the most insecure human in existence.
What people really want is a firewall, and since NAT acts as a firewall, they confuse it with that.

My university has a public IP for every computer, but you could still only connect to the servers, not random computers, from the outside. Because they had a firewall.
Interesting. But Chesterton's Fence assumes we can always find out why something was put there, but often we can't, which makes adding barriers easier than removing them—leading to a buildup of unnecessary rules over time?

It's not surprising that google has such a huge mote with their highly illegal and unethical activity of scanning and digitizing billions of pages of copyrighted work to train their models. Oh wait, google books search was fair use. I got it confused with LLMs.
I think a lot of these kinds of studies are not really about objectively studying a phenomenon but trying to prove a predetermined point. The study is designed and adjusted until it proves what it should prove. Then it's wrapped in a nice news headline which goes away with all the details and subtleties and used for political or economic gain. Reproducing the results is not interesting and not funded. Other studies are then using these results as sources to stack the house of cards even higher. I think this does a lot of harm to science as a whole because a lot of people disregard all scientific results as a result.

Show HN: Bring LLMs to Any macOS App with a Simple Shortcut (and Your Voice)
Hey HN, I built Promptly, a macOS app that lets you use any LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, OLLama) anywhere with a simple hotkey. Highlight text, press a shortcut, and edit or generate content instantly—either by typing or using voice input.

There's also a shortcut to jump straight into voice mode and it'll auto-detect when you're finished to execute the task.

I made this because I found myself constantly switching between apps and sites to use AI to edit tweets, start documents off, and reword slack messages and wanted something native, fast, and frictionless.

There’s no cloud processing—just direct API calls with your own keys (or no keys, just Ollama models).

I’d love feedback—what do you think? Would this fit into your workflow? Anything missing that would make it more useful?
No, that's only about the leverage - a perfect instrument to create even more pressure. Everything else I call a BS, sorry. Aren't founders already taking a huge leap by admitting themselves to work probably as much as ~10x more, with of course reciprocal amount of stress, and then you say it's reasonable that founders wouldn't be motivated enough unless they did all of that but for under the market rate? They left their job, they have the idea, they have the people, they have the drive ... and they want to execute it. I just hope not all investments work this way - this would be really sad.
> In EU to get ANY money out of pension, you have to work like 30 years at the very same country (not EU).

Quite far from the truth.

https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/retire-abroad/sta...

Eligibility periods

In some EU countries, you must have worked for a minimum period of time to be entitled to a pension.

In such cases, the pension authority has to take into account all the periods you've worked in other EU countries, as if you'd been working in that country all along, to assess whether you're entitled to a pension (principle of aggregation of periods).

How your pension is calculated

Pension authorities in each EU country you've worked in will look at the contributions you've paid into their system, how much you've paid in other countries, and for how long you've worked in different countries.

> What's the secret stopping Microsoft from going the Apple route, other than maybe backwards compatibility?

Better monitors (what they call Retina). Older pre-Retina screens render them faithfully, which means that the text is (a bit) blurry. This is the poison that needs to be chosen (there is no way around this), Microsoft prioritized legibility while Apple prioritized faithfulness.

In reality the system is already breaking down bc so few people pay into the pension system for so many old pensioners.

> I guess my question is, why is Go compelling as a source language for WASM?

I'm using WASM as a proper plugin architecture for some of my go applications. I provide an interface that allows external developers to create plugins (in whatever language supports WASM as a bonus). Then my application can then use these plugins to execute some extra functionality. It slows the application startup a little but runs pretty fast when in use, but I don't have plugins in any hot paths (yet).
There seems to be some mixup with cached images.

Locale I'm using as a shorthand for "the bundle of variables that your service or business needs to tweak between customers in different markets". It may determine things like currency, date/time or currency formatting, or relevant regulatory framework. My argument is that language should always be sett-able independently of the other variables locale controls.

For an example of a site that almost gets it right, see https://www.finnair.com/ . You are first prompted to set location, and then language. I say "almost" because although they will allow you to select English in any market, they won't allow you to select any offered language in any market.

In comparison, https://www.flysas.com/ you get one dropdown which sets market, currency, and language in one go.
Yes, well, the article describes the Navy moving Olsen from Great Lakes Naval Training Station to Chicago. Great Lakes Naval Training Station is and, as far as I know, always has been in Chicago. The non-computer stuff maybe didn't get the same level of care.
Ta. I learned about it from my favourite HN comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40856578) and have spent the last 6 months wondering why people don't bring it up more. It may just be a model but it has much explanatory power for why there seem to be so many "stupid" people around. I don't really have the word to describe them; people who are technically reasonable but not convinced by arguments or evidence.

You can do this with wasmtime using either a deadline trap or a concept called "fuel" which is basically a measure of "consumed CPU time" roughly speaking. I have used wasm for a very similar thing (user writing code for robots in a multiplayer video game) and it works very well. I am confident they can't mess with the server and I can prevent them from running long running processes.
And that's why most of these endeavors are doomed to fail. Every time they enshittify one service there's a new one with attractive UX that VC's essentially pay you to use instead. And so the previous investment would be lost if they couldn't dump it on naive stock traders by going public before the cat is out of the bag.

Well technically there are different trading hours, calendars and sessions for each market / segment of NYSE. In practice though I don't think you will find many companies listed on multiple subsegments of NYSE in 2025.

Roughly speaking, you will find the prestigious / big market cap / rich companies listed on NYSE main market, ETFs on NYSE Arca, small caps on NYSE American (ex Amex), and very small caps on NYSE National.

The listing requirements and prices, as well as fee structure also differ for each market. National has a fee structure to incentive adding liquidity for instance.

If the asynchronicity bothers you, imagine that you can also trade e.g. HSBC secondary listing on NYSE NY market hours + the ADR of HSBC HK on NYSE NY hours + HSBC primary listing on LSE on London hours + HSBC HKSE on HK hours for a lot of fun.

True in the general sense, but don't do this for IoT devices. Always remember that the S in IoT stands for Security
Same here, I basically turned off all the auto-complete things everywhere in all the tools I am using, can't stand it. And just before reading your comment, I had a google doc I edited in the other tab and thought, how annoying are these auto suggestions actually. Not helping at all, instead a distraction (to me).

For AI coding I'm using Aider as a docker container in the terminal in the IDE and I love it. I can write what I want how I feel the prompt to be necessary and then (and only then) it makes the changes or runs whatever I requested. The IDE runs uninterrupted and without any "smart suggestions". A tool for every job. Sometimes I do a lot in aider, sometimes I don't open it at all, but its all separated where what happens when.

But yeah, anyways, while not as strongly feeling as you (probably) towards auto suggesting mid way through my sentence, I at least feel they are more distraction than help to me.

This is such a bizarre comment through and through.
Thanks for the correction, posting too early in the morning. :)
Id say collapse of societal functions in general is what you should worry about (be it pandemics, climate change or rampant egomaniac billionares). Giving it a "government bad" spin at least still implies some form of order, thus is not the worst case and so imo misses your point of "more dangerous things than the flu".

Btw, that erosion of trust in societies, combined with cluelessness and learned helplessness facing known, serious yet solvable issues (like pandemics) esp. in democracies worries me the most.
Ask HN: Are most AI agents worthless?
I would like to know the HN opinion on AI agents. I'm learning about the subject but so far it seems that most AI agents that are posted on HN, if not useless, hardly worth to pay and are just a sloppy wrapper of a LLM du jour. What's your take on this?
> I think it does occur to people, but that's a choice for nepo babies and aspiring monks.

This is my experience. Or in another way of saying it: either they persue the money, or they have already the money, or yes, want to be "monks" but that must be like 0.01%. Most of the people I know come from rich families, or want to be the next rich familiy.

Sandboxed is better than unsandboxed, but don't mistake it for being secure. A sandboxed JSON parser can still lie to you about what's been parsed. It can exfiltrate data by copying secrets to other JSON fields that your application makes publicly visible, e.g. your config file may have DB access secret and also a name to use in From in emails. It can mess with your API calls, and make some /change-password call use attacker's password, etc.
More like "we buried treasure, please don't dig".
I am not having a good time, that's true. This is with systems you do not need and not working for you. You can lay down to it, but could also fight it, go around it, not just give up and do what a random self promoted something tries to dictate. True, it is not good now or just yet, and about the amazingness, well, I believe the jury is still out on that.... let's say there are moments when it is.

Disruption can f off! I am not a slave to lay down to self serving ideas forced. If ideas not serving humanity and demand change for the sake of it, those are bad ideas then! Down with technological authoritarianism! I am for liberal things mainly anyway.

About cars: don't use it inside hight rise buildings if you live in one, or dense cute cities because you will have more problem than help. One can walk, cycle or mass transit, occasional renting, in a big part of life. Cars have their places, not something to wrap humanity around. Thos are just box like objects with four wheels for f's sake! For humans, and not the other way around.

All depends on circumstances in the end, naturally.

> to assess whether you're entitled to a pension

But that is what I am talking about! Maybe you get something, maybe not! And nobody knows if Norway will be in EU in 30 years from now!

This is not a stake where you get 10% share of your pension, for working there 3 years (10% of 30 years), but very vague promise.

> all the periods you've worked in other EU countries

What if I worked OUTSIDE of EU? I worked 15 years in Norway, than moved back to US.... Now I am freeloader and get NOTHING!!!
Agents are a tool and must be treated as such. Is the tool worthless? Depends on its application. There seems to be lots of confusion around this topic by people not experienced with data and analytics.
Not GP but it depends what you mean by accuracy. If you want inference like the 'coconut milk' described then obviously an LLM. If you want accurate as-written transcription, then I don't know the state of the art, but it'll be something purpose built for CV & handwriting recognition.

It'll also depend if you care about tabular data, whether a 'minor' numerical error (like 0 & 8 mismatched sometimes) is significantly worse than a 'typo' as it were in recognising a word, etc.
It is an interesting question with an interesting, long and complicated answer that can't really be done justice in a HN post. It'd probably be worth looking up some psychology papers if you're really interested in the topic.

But for a basic theory sketch: Humans are social creatures designed to form herds around a leader/small number of leaders (see, for example, cults as an example of this dynamic). The typical human is expecting to do what they are told by a leader and constantly playing status games to figure out who that leader is right now and whether they, the human figuring, qualify as one.

This means that the average punter is totally unequipped to evaluate not just capitalism but any ideology! The only skills they have are maybe how to play status games and maybe a few economically valuable technical abilities. This results in bizarre situations where you have roving hordes of people who swear by ideologies but have no idea about them (find me a Marxist who has read Marx - they exist but there aren't as many of them as the name suggests). There aren't enough people who can break out of that dynamic to set up forums that exclude it though.

The natural social response to all this is you have people floating around who challenge every ideology and the masses generally expect them to be heard because that is one of the rules for status games. But at the end of the day it is normal for the challengers to then be ignored because capitalism offers huge rewards to the people at the top of the food chain so it is a pretty stable system. Not perfect, but what is.
> permanently broke the "network of hosts" into asymmetric one of servers and clients.

That was inevitable and can't reasonably be blamed on NAT. As but a few examples. ISPs arbitrarily break things unless you pay them extra. Stateful firewalls are a good thing. Even on my local LAN I can't reliably SSH into my laptop because it's on WiFi and does funky power saving stuff with the chipset I guess. My phone is far worse than my laptop in that regard.

Setting up a reliable and widely reachable server requires deliberate effort regardless of the existence of NAT.
So if I made a pop song with was entirely copied from existing songs - but ensured that each fragment was relatively short ( but long enough to be recognisable ), then I'd be ok?

ie the way to avoid copyright is to double down on the copying?

I can see how, for a human, you could argue that there is creativity in splicing those bits together into a good whole - however if that process is automated - is it still creative - or just automated theft?
Yeah had the same thought actually
The question of whether X can cause Y remains open and requires further research. The article highlights the importance of thoroughly checking sources and methodology to draw clear conclusions. This is an important step towards a deeper understanding of such relationships.
I don’t know who is using mill but I’d guess Scala people and Scala frequently implies Spark which in turn implies PySpark. For instance I could see it being useful for a team building a source connector which will be Scala-centric but need some PySpark additions as well. Even without Spark, Scala is frequently used for data centric applications and those kinds of teams would naturally be working with python as well.
Very few, if any, inventions appear in a void, completely independent of prior inventions.

Most inventions, no matter how original and non-obvious they are claimed to be, appear at a closer analysis to be only modifications and combinations of prior inventions, where what is new is always much less than what is old.

The Phoenician alphabet with 22 letters was just a simplification of an older North-Semitic alphabet with 27 letters.

Both the North-Semitic alphabet with 27 letters (the oldest alphabet from which our alphabetic order A, B, C, D ..., comes) and the South-Semitic alphabet with 29 letters (and a different alphabetic order) come from an older Semitic alphabet, which had been derived from a simplification of the Egyptian consonantic writing system.

The Egyptian writing system has been derived from some older pictographic proto-writing system, a transition that might have been inspired by exposure to the Sumerian writing system, which had similarly been derived from an older proto-writing system used for accounting.

The proto-writing systems, i.e. sets of symbols designating various things, like icons or emojis, could have appeared only after people had discovered how to draw using pigments or how to sculpt or carve hard substrates.

And so on, every invention is based on even earlier inventions, and it is seldom possible to say that one step has been the most important. Normally all the chain of inventions is important and every step has been indispensable.

Even if my background is different, I did not have debt, and would not directly have incurred in debt by doing a PhD, there was no way I could justify it. At some point I would have to start earning serious money for me and my family. No way I could delay all 5 years, to have a title that would help me in no measurable amount to earn more money later. The ROI of a PhD (if you see merely as a financial decision) makes just no sense.
