A truly innovative group they are
I don't know if there is any way to protect against bots these days (other than something Worldcoin-like), which is a pity as I think HN is now overrun with them trying to inject anger and negativity into its Western-leaning audience's thoughts.
I have not used either, so I cannot answer that.
Nah, I don't think the bollards are considered signaling - it appears like they are often accompanied by light signals.
Prices going up is a clear market signal of desirability.
I agree. But: I wonder how long ago his fascination with all things Nazi started and the whole 'X' thing goes back a long, long time. So this may not be a recent thing at all.
> Then there was another Civ where boats were not needed any more

6 & 7 (and maybe 5, I don't recall) don't require transports for land units because they now have the ability to "embark" with appropriate technology (In 7, this is from the beginning, but only on navigable rivers and coast), but boats are very much still important (well, on most map types.)

Can someone explain how this affects the orders that have come from various Federal agencies? My understanding is their position is that compliance is a violation of Federal law
The awe is really just technofetishism.

To be in awe of software instructure but not espouse the same feelings about say, biology, is sad.

> Which is exactly the system 99% of companies follow, just more formally stated

Not just formally, but in a legally binding manner, including if the patent is acquired by another company (eg during a company purchase). Even if the original filer has the best intentions, companies change ownership or change legal strategy or go out of business. Patent trolls buy up those patents from closed companies. Legally licensing your patents for defensive-only purposes means they can't ever be used by any of those bad actors.

If the intent of these patents is truly only for defense, then why isn't it common to use a license like this? They lose nothing by it.

> Yet you berated the poor guy from Pebble for even obtaining the patent he did??

Yes. It is IMO unethical to create software patents that aren't covered by such a legally-binding license.
I had no idea this was part of a triptych! A quick google search tells me there is also "Unix Feuds" and "Unix Views".

Any idea where I can find them?

EDIT: For those interested, this is what they look like together. Unable to find high-resolution scans of all three though :(
I just disagree with the "little less" statement. Your experience of dependence maybe colors your language, I would use different but not less, as my psychedelics experiences have taught me so much about myself I don't feel diminished in any way after having them.
Scaling Tach to Large Codebases
Last time I tried it (quite long ago), I recall having some audio issues. Maybe I should try again... that was back when my old audio interface (that only ever worked on XP, since they never released production-grade drivers for Win7) finally died.
In my experience, LLMs are a lot better than my backend engineers who don't even try but not that much better than someone who's skimmed the docs.

Typically they suggest 1) adding indexes and 2) refactoring the query. If you only provide the query then the model isn't aware of what indexes already exist. LLMs make assumptions about your data model that often don't hold (i.e. 3NF). Sometimes you have to give the LLM the latest docs because it's unaware of performance improvements and features for newer versions.

In my view, it's better to look at the query plan and think yourself about how to improve the query but I also recognize that most people writing queries aren't going to do that.

There are other tools (RIP OtterTune) that can tune database parameters. Not something I really see any generative model helping with.
Correct you only own your house, not the street. If you want to own the street too, a gated community is where you want to live.
This is cool! We do something similar in Devbox where we pre-evaluate store paths from the Nix repository, and then fetch the packages directly from the official Nix cache. This greatly reduces the evaluation time.

Here's a blog post we wrote on the topic:

Perhaps I phrased it poorly but I was trying to separate out GPU workloads for AI and gaming. The apple ecosystem is very poor for gaming overall, but in their ML and LLM related abilities they have very good performance at a fraction of the power draw of a modern nvidia card.

So the point being, nvidia is optimizing for gamers who are willing to throw top dollar at the best gear, regardless of power draw. But it’s a choice, and other manufacturers can make different tradeoffs.
DB is quite nice. Don't know if it still supports it but back in 2017-2019 it was possible to use terminal commands to control playback, similar to what one might use a more complex tool like mpd for, which I wrapped in Picolisp to be able to easily change the music without leaving the REPL and then hooked it up to a socket for remote control over the LAN.
Before this is flagged, I'd appreciate an explanation for why it is a good idea to let these people starve to death.
Forwards Are All You Need (In Option Pricing)
I feel like I "earned" the right to use big ugly IDE after learning the underlying complexity the hard way, but that's only for one language.

Jumping into a new language with JetBrains is the difference between me spending 2 hours figuring out a codebase and submitting a PR, and me spending 2 hours fucking around trying to fix things.
My feeling on Musk is kinda like... there's this rock star I liked and damn the man could play, but then he ended a concert by stumbling onto stage covered in vomit, misses half his shows now with a syringe hanging out of his arm, and got arrested for domestic violence against his wife.

It's sad, but damn the man could play... once... I guess I can listen to the old albums.

It's like that.

Unfortunately rock stars on the spiral don't generally destroy democracy.
I do argue that. In probability theory you can't assume independence of two random variables unless it's a part of the problem statement because this assumption changes everything. Where I got my degree this would be considered an error and an incorrect solution to the problem.

It's not different from how in middle school you can incorrectly assume that "x is positive" when solving x^2=4 in R. An answer "x=2" is mathematically incorrect.
> Is it objectively more fun?

Fun is subjective, nothing is objectively (more, less, or unmodified) fun.

Thanks for posting this, interesting to see the process at a large AI company.
Performance is one problem, concurrency is another (you'll need another locking and logging system to make it concurrent-safe and atomic), it can also be unwieldy to move around, and it will be broken by dropbox-like apps that will mark individual files as conflicted (rather than your whole database).
Indeed. Thanks for making the world a better place, YC.
I just tested and private use characters render as boxes for me (󰀀), the point here was to encode them in a way that they are hidden and treated as "part of" another character when copy/pasting.
That seems pretty dramatic. How exactly has his net worth increased by that much?
Show HN: Limit Phone – Block feeds, allow posts
I've been building Limit Phone. It uses MDM to manage your own Android device and block apps and websites at lower level than most other blockers.

It comes with a custom build of firefox so you can allowlist wildcards e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=* so you're not blocked from individual youtube videos which are much less harmful than the algorithmic feeds.

Me and a few friends are using it and it's surprisingly robust since it gets in your way a lot less (you can also set it up so you can temporarily bypass stuff after a delay)

It's still pretty new, it hit beta a couple of months ago! I'm working on making it more customizable and making the install process easier.
rustup still is outside of repos even if the download method isn't silly and insecure. For some random applications that's fine, but for a compiler and toolchain? No. If I wanted a rolling distro I'd use a rolling distro. Rust culture only being compatible with rolling is not a good thing for many use cases.

>Which languages do you use?

c, c++, perl, bash. A program written in perl+inline c today will compile and run on system perl+gcc from 2005. And a perl+inline c program written in 2005 will compile and run just fine on system perl+distro today. And pure Perl is completely time/version portable from the late 90s to now and back. No need for containerization or application specific installs of a language at all. System perl just works everywhere, every time.

There are versions of c++xx isms and non-c89/etc isms in some programs written in these languages. But at least these only happen a couple times a decade and because of the wide popularity and dev culture their use is much more delayed after introduction than in rust or python.
> I am becoming more and more convinced that hard drive reliability is linked to the batch more than to the individual drive models themselves.

Worked in a component test role for many years. It's all of the above. We definitely saw significant differences in AFR across various models, even within the same product line, which were not specific to a batch. Sometimes simply having more or less platters can be enough to skew the failure rate. We didn't do in depth forensics models with higher AFRs as we'd just disqualify them and move on, but I always assumed it probably had something to do with electrical, mechanical (vibration/harmonics) or thermal differences.
We replaced those servants with machines. A vacuum cleaner, washer/dryer, various kitchen appliances, etc all save huge amounts of time. There was a BBC show called "1900 House" which just shows how much labor went into maintaining a large home.
Wikipedia's active english data is only 24gb compressed. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20250201/

They store revisions in compressed storage mostly read only for archival.
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MariaDB#External_storage

They have the layout and backup plans of their servers available.

They've got an efficient layout, and they use caching, and it is by nature very read intensive.

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MariaDB#/media/File:Wiki...

Archival read only servers don't have to worry about any of the maintenance mentioned. Use chatgpt or something to play your devil's advocate, because what you're saying is magical and non existent is quite common.
While it's true most people can't fly around the world to shop, e-commerce brings the shops of the world right to their door.

And sure, middle class westerners don't have a lot of servants that physically work in their house, but that's a very narrow view that misses the point.

The service industry is huge, things like child care and public/private schools (replacing nannies and tutors), restaurants and takeout (replacing chefs/kitchen staff), grocery store (replacing having your own farm and farm laborers), automated home appliances(replacing maids), running water and electricity (replacing servants), computers (replacing secretaries and assistants), Uber and self-driving or even just a drive-it-yourself car (replacing chauffeurs) and of course toilets are a big one...

Many of the ultra rich can indeed afford a roster of servants, to man their yacht, for example, but many of them still prefer not to do so and even do their own cooking and laundry for the priceless benefit of not having to deal with people other than their family in the intimate personal spaces of their home.

Privacy is a luxury not to be underestimated, and illustrated by the fact that your dishwasher and lawnmower will never fall in love and run away together with half your silverware.
Just tears.
I agree with you, but just to play devils advocate: use the property you are permitted to use and build parking on your own property. If you can't fit a garage or parking space on your land, you didn't think through the purchase for your needs.
I've never come across a leader with a strong corporate vision. Can you think of any relatively unknown companies that have become successful, and would you be willing to share their story?
From the first picture in the gallery:

> Club 33 is the name of a number of private dining clubs located within Disney Parks. The first opened inside Disneyland in 1967, and was modeled after sponsor lounges at the 1964 New York World's Fair. At the time it opened, Club 33 was the only location within Disneyland that offered alcoholic beverages.

> The initial cost of membership at Disneyland and Walt Disney World was previously reported to be $35,000, followed by an annual due of $15,000–16,000.[8] In 2012, the reported cost of membership increased to $50,000 initiation fee and $15,000 annually for individuals, more for corporations.[9][10]

Interesting, I would never have guessed that Disneyland had a luxury club hidden inside.

I wonder what the members are like, and how they may have evolved over the years. "Ordinary" (if extremely wealthy) visitors, who are accustomed to fine dining and don't want to lower their standards even during a family trip? Or is it an entirely separate crowd, that travels to Disneyland specifically to have dinner and smoke Cubans there?
Why a nation state? My hypothetical is a phishing ring that sends an official-looking phishing email to 1000 non-public email accounts that typically only get emails from Youtube.

The exploit can be valued at: number of emails * probability that you'll phish them into letting you in * value of posting a "Free Robux" scam on a channel with 100M subscribers.

Greenland's genetic architecture shaped by demography, structure and selection
Very cool. Coincidentally I just made a basic calculator with stored variables (https://calc.li/) with this philosophy in mind, though I didn't know there was a bigger movement around the idea! Mostly, I didn't want to bother with a backend or even cookies, so I just store everything in localStorage (which is criminally under-used IMHO).
I've been thinking recently this is where the EU should start. I don't know if it could be achieved with some top-down initiative, but it would definitely need investment to become one day competitive against the US providers.

I agree with this article. I just want to add one thing: the author mentions companies in general, CEOs and the media as culprits. I'd like to add the people working at those companies.

Few of those might be actively looking at graphs and deciding to make the product worse for the sake of short-term revenue increase. Yet every act of enshittification takes people to make it happen. Those who "just work here", who may be slightly uneasy with adding another popup or displaying more ads but still do it, actively contribute to the problem. That's a decision they make. Even if those employees feel they are doing this only to keep a roof over their children's head or something along those lines, it's worth pointing out there's a choice being made.

This is especially worth mentioning as I think there are rarely actual evil masterminds — most enshittification is a result of tens, hundreds, thousands of people incentivized to repeatedly do things that are just a little bad.

Not sure I agree here completely. On its own perhaps not, but if AI is able to deliver nonsensical design decisions at a faster rate than a human, you can iterate to a final better design faster.
for a Mr. Beast video, maybe that's true, but for a specific audience like "Developer Conference Talk" probably a decent proxy
AI has yet to demonstrate that it can do anything different from what a group of people could sit down and do. Sure, the AI may be able to do it faster, but there hasn't yet been anything demonstrated that exceeds what humans can do.

If it would be illegal for a group of people to do something, it is also going to be illegal for an AI do so.

Why is that so surprising?

Don’t worry. I found a bug in one of their repos, fixed it, documented it, and submitted a PR—four months later, it’s still not merged.

People love to believe that Company A has top-tier engineers while Company B doesn’t based on mostly nonsense interview practices. The best ideas come from deeply thinking through a problem from the customer’s perspective for days and days not from rushed coding interviews.
A Compelling Case for Using Bluespec SystemVerilog in Academia
Back of the envelope calculations from the abstract: An 8-bit tiny pointer would be sufficient to reference an array of size 2^2^2^3 ≈ 1e77 (≈atoms in the visible universe) with fullness 31/32 ≈ 97%. Or size 65536 and fullness 63/64. For 16-bit tiny pointers, there's no point in going bigger than the universe; fullness goes to 99.98%. Like you, I'd love to see such an example worked out.
Ask HN: How tired are you of subscription services?
I'm thinking if shipping some little web music games. If I were ever to monetize it, should I go with free to play and one-time purchases or should I try to pursue some subscription model?

At this point I personally feel tired of everybody wanting some number of bucks per month, though I get that it aligns business costs with customer payments. How do you feel about this issue and what would you do in the case of this project?
Yes, at the end of the day, there's nothing you can't do in git that you can do in jj. This is easy to demonstrate, since jj has a git backend. There are minor things about that that do show some things, like for example, change IDs are totally local, and not shared, since git doesn't have the notion of a change ID, but that's not what we're talking about really.

At the end of the day, every DVCS is ultimately "here is a repository that is a bunch of snapshots of your working directory and a graph of those snapshots" plus tools to work with the graph, including tools to speak to other repositories.

From any given snapshot A -> B, both git and jj can get you there. The question is, which tools are more effective for getting the work done that you want to do?
Appreciate the post and the discussion around it. As a car enthusiast, I enjoyed reading the specific implementations out in the wild today.

What stood out in the article was the attention paid to designing intuitive haptics. What our bodies expect in feedback when we turn a weighted dial. Doing it in software allows controlling multiple things, but I would still prefer a dumb dial per function, placed in close proximity to where the function acts. Seat controls near seats, climate controls near vents. Personalization stuffed into the screen and menus and profiles.

I did not think I would like auto climate controls until I lived with one. Even then, I would fiddle with it because I didn’t like the sudden high initial fan speed until I got used to it.
> desecration of memorial sites in Latvia

Oh, you mean the monument to nazi collaborators?

All of this happened after the EU started sending weapons to Ukraine for the purpose of killing Russians, sanctioning Russia heavily, freezed $300 billions in assets, not to mention the destruction of northstream 2. Reciprocal hostility is perfectly normal.

None of these actions is severe enough that we can't establish friendly relations again, to our mutual benefit.

> Greenland belongs to Denmark, and just today, Danish intelligence (FE) issued a new threat assessment[7]:

DUH. They're facing the collective military industry and intelligence of NATO in Ukraine, there have been multiple threats from France and UK of sending their troops in Ukraine, prominent EU officials have been publicly talking about balkanizing Russia and you expect Russia to not prepare to face those threats? They'd be stupid not do it.

This is ridiculous. It's like poking a bees nests and then complaining about their aggressiveness when they react. How about you stop poking first?
It won’t be under Elevens control, part of the deal I believe. They’re allowed to remain opensource. Not folded into ElevenLabs.

As for contribution model, it’s still something I’m trying to figure out. For the moment, it was just trying to get a self host build ready and working.

But I have admin rights to the repo, and am not working for ElevenLabs, nor officially Omnivore. I was just a contributor before.
This isn't to say that the situation at Reagan wasn't stupid and a disaster waiting to happen but military pilots need to be reasonably be expected to operate in far more chaotic and busy airspace if the need arises so it makes sense that the .mil thinks nothing of routinely tossing them into very busy airspace.
Oh how I wish I could turn off the anti-glare function of my side mirrors (Audi). For the rear mirror I don't mind it, but it completely fucks my side vision in the dark. Brightness of lights is totally a valid way to guesstimate distance, and if everything is just a dark reflection I totally have no sense of depth anymore.
If the ends don’t justify the means, what else would?
This all sounds like warmed-over hippie-lore. I would have loved for my first time to take LSD to have been in a completely safe, clean environment filled with treats, doctors, and other people who were attending to me. The worst parts of the first experience for most people are fear of police, fear that one is having a medical problem, and fear that one is being a problem for the people they're with. This experience has precisely none of that.

It's good that they got data from first time users. It would be even better to get data from people who hadn't been set up with psychedelic culture expectations, but that jury pool is hopelessly tainted.

> I think multiple rapid use unnecessarily increases the low-ish risk of psychosis.

I don't think there's any good evidence that LSD affects the rate of psychosis, just the entirely expected outcome that people who have psychosis may be triggered to express that psychosis by LSD use, combined with the statistical fact that people try psychedelics at the same period of life as schizophrenics start showing their first symptoms (late teens to early 30s.)
Yes! Seen it on several bridges.
What about centaurs? One theory about the centaur myth is that it originated from the confused perceptions of a culture that had never seen men on horseback being suddenly invaded by steppe nomads.
