Wow, this sounds like how the AI simulation for my multiplayer game works. Each AI agent has a view of the world and can make local steering decisions to avoid other agents and self preservation. Agents carry out low-level goals that are given to them by squad leaders. A squad leader receives high level "world" objectives from a commander. High-level objectives are broken down into low level objectives distributed among squad units based on their attributes and preferences.

>built into another language and "missing" from your own, you can express it by using more words. ... "by means of a forklift."

and that "more words" combination may be more precise, expressive and much simpler to handle in communication in some contexts (not necessary in all though) than say something like <prefix><word root><suffix 1><suffix2> with <suffix>-es being "juschij" and the likes (my past comment on that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40244902 )

An example: "Petr kicked Ivan" and "Ivan kicked Petr" - 2 opposite things in English while in Russian i can use all 6 combinations of the "Petr", "kicked", "Ivan" words while still saying the same thing just by utilizing necessary suffixes to express the case, and by switching suffixes i can use the same 6 combinations to express opposite ("Ivana pnul Petr" and "Petr pnul Inava" and "Pnul Ivana Petr" and so on - all is the same thing while "Ivan pnul Petra", "Petra pnul Ivan",... is the opposite - great for writing poetry, while not that good for the contexts where concise and precise communication is at premium, like for example in the tech world)

curl and ps are both aliases in powershell for their respective posh equivalents. For some reason grep isn't though, I'll give you that.

It also has positional parameters meaning you don't have to specify parameter names, though you might as well because tab completion is a thing. And if you're really keen on not using tab completion, it autocompletes parameter names for you meaning "get-help man -e" is equivalent to "get-help man -examples".

Here are less verbose posh commands for your examples.

(curl http://localhost:555/log -useb | select content | sls "2025[0-9-]+" -a).select.matches

Still arguably a mess. Select-string not having a -o equivalent parameter is a big gripe of mine.

(gps ffmpeg) or (ps ffmpeg)

Get-Process has a name parameter. Why not use it?

Edit:

I should have added, curl ships with Windows now so a farer comparison would be a select-string on curl.exe.
I would be surprised if you needed anything that old. I was doing some research on my 2012 vintage PC mainboard a couple of years ago, and seem to recall a reference to the chipset one generation prior supporting floppy drives. Of course, whether many mainboards actually included the header is an open question. I also have a Pentium 4 laptop hanging around that has a swappable drive bay that could use a floppy drive. Of course, finding the appropriate laptop floppy drive will be difficult.

PCs were slow to drop support for legacy hardware.

> asking others to flag an article is not about sharing an opinion

It's also not what I pointed at to be an opinion, but this:

> This is not a forum for original research. Additionally, this community is not well-equipped for sober analysis of divisive topics.

Interesting thing to point out nonetheless, will mull it over.

> due to these flags

I do not believe this can be established. I further find it very unlikely that people would flag a post decidedly because this specific downvoted person encouraged them to.

> to defend the claim someone didn't do exactly what they did

This is not a claim that was posted in the comments I was replying to, and so it's impossible for me to be defending it. I take you mean why am I defending the people who flagged the post and have encouraged others to do so - ignoring that this defending behavior is completely perceptual on your end, I wrote what I did because the reading that "they did it so that it would prevent discussion" is a different one, is implying more than the former, and I believe is strongly misleading and conspiratorial as a result.
Yeah this is another question I had and another source of frustration with the journalists that write these pieces.

Either they know more about this stuff than me and it's their job to predict that gap and explain this key detail... Or they don't know more than me so it's their job to be curious about it!

The quotes and stuff just strike me as so lazy. Why are you telling me that a thing happened and then not even taking 3 sentences to scratch the surface of what that thing actually means?

I guess they have to pump stories like this out in just a few minutes...
> but if you feel that the mere opinions of the plebs are inconsequential^ and hence pointless, why participate in a public forum at all?

That gets to the heart of the matter, actually. Personally I participate in order to get new information and learn new ideas. But yeah, being human and flawed, I do end up giving opinions and I notice most people just want to talk about opinions.

But I digress. My question was specifically about the value of saying "I don't trust OpenAI".
I have not enjoyed a language and framework like I'm enjoying Elixir and Phoenix! It has become my stack for just about everything.
Fully agree with what you said. The challenge is finding businesses that struggle so hard, and have an urgent need, such that they are willing to pay for a product with rough edges built by a rando dude. And for there to be enough revenue potential to sustain myself (I live in the UK).

Continuing on the example - a flower shop probably manages their inventory via spreadsheets. They're not happy with it, but I doubt they'll fork out $600/year for an inventory tracking app. And I think it'll be very hard for me to get in touch with flower shop owners to validate the idea - they live in a very different world to mine. So the only path to success is to publish an app on the Apple App Store and hope it takes off.

That's similar to what I ended up doing with the last startup project I had, unfortunately it didn't work out.
Beyond DEC, there were many minicomputer and related companies in Massachusetts in their heyday. They weren't all on Route 128 (including DEC) but that was the shorthand.

I VERY briefly worked for EMC after they acquired Data General which was a DEC spinoff.
anarchy. we have been there before. people don't bond well in such massive numbers suddenly. They fight until there is no peace. They fight for the short term. They fight until there are no other leaders. And the successful ones bond together the fastest to fight the rest of the people. And then that bond breaks up again.

Every person fights for himself. Then he fights for his people. Then he fights for the people, but by that time he dies.
Trump is a liar, he lies about everything. Starting a sentence with “trump said” implies that any concurrence with reality is purely coincidental.
> I've met plenty of embedded devs

Because when I said "for the vast majority of use-cases", I expected people to understand that I agree that some use-cases can't run e.g. a garbage collector.

You have a weird way of talking to strangers. But, you know what they say about assumptions.

> I have no idea what you're on about regarding sentient robots.

So you're ignorant about both the state and purpose of OpenAI's research as well as the state of the art in robotics. So why am I even talking to an ignorant person? smh.

Thanks for your effort though.
This got me curious as to what "queries at the ontological level" means in concrete terms. It's been a good long while since I did anything even remotely data engineering -like, and back then "AI" could be something like a support vector machine (yay moving goalposts), so I haven't had to deal with this sort of stuff at all.
Have you ever watched people talk excitedly about "agents" for thirty or forty years without ever actually providing an example that functioned for more than a couple of very precisely staged demos, if that?

You Will.

Hedge Funds Are Pocketing Much of Their Clients' Gains with 'No Limit' Fees
I've noticed that, after filling up the context window a bit (with most anything, so it doesn't appear to be contextually dependent), the "personality" for Claude will settle to something very similar each time. Part of this is that the adherence to the basic safety alignment (like rigid "I am an AI I can't ..." responses) seems to relax, it uses emojis, is more curious, and it refers to itself more often with "I". It will even use a gendered pronoun for itself, which is always the same, and also matches the answer to "which pronoun do you think you used in a previous session".

At first I assumed my style of writing was pushing it into the same "personality space", but I tested filling the context window with repeated numbers, nonsense, etc, and it "converged" to the same every time.

I actually have a system prompt saved that's just a bunch of a's repeated a few thousands times to get into this "state" more immediately, because I find it very pleasant to work with, especially how it doesn't gaslight me when it's wrong, like ChatGPT and especially Gemini tend to do.

I already know crypt past, crypto future and crypto now is a scam.

Except, the facts are pretty myopically one sided. It takes a lot of effort to keep seeing principled republican ideas.

Anyway, the world is often about which facts are curiously cataloged, cross references and regurgitated versus those thrown in the kitchen drawer.
Fraud is worse because it is both deliberate and malicious by its very nature, it is absolutely unacceptable.

The only reason you're defending fraud is because you hate Trump and Musk who are prosecuting it. Take a step back and understand what it is you're arguing for, you're throwing away even the simplest of ethics and duty to scream Orange Man and Rocket Man X are bad.

When I was in art school I walked into the studio and this dude was doing his thing... his thing was re-creating this image he found in some book. I thought "what a fucking cheater" and shook my head. Well I came second to him on that assignment, so I went to the dean of our art school and I said "Chris committed plagiarism and his work should be removed from the salon" and explained - Dean looked at me like I was crazy and said "the most creative things simply hide the source of their creativity, good artists know that, get out of my office". I don't know what your definition of art is, but after art school I realized it's simply "anything that isn't science"

This is exactly about tools, tools and the fact that people with no artistic ability have relied on them heavily, it's not my problem or the problem of OpenAI that people are just bad at art, but people are indeed bad at art, and it's always people who blabber on about the tools.

Oh yeah, and while I'm at it, I don't believe in copyright, so there is that too.

Show HN: R-Chat – A Next.js Chat Interface for Local and API Language Models
R-Chat is an open-source chat interface built with Next.js that supports both local models (via Ollama) and API-based models (currently Gemini,OpenAI,Claude with more coming).

R-Chat offers a seamless experience for switching between local and cloud models while prioritizing privacy by storing chat history locally. It features support for reasoning models with a toggleable thinking process view, built-in local storage management for multiple chat sessions, and a clean, modern UI that includes markdown and code syntax highlighting. The application is designed for easy setup with Ollama for local models, making it accessible for users who prefer running models on their own machines.

Tech stack: Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, TailwindCSS
Unless dealing with a psychopath you can deal with the lies using other subsystems.
Nonprofits generally have to break out unrelated business income [1] into for-profit companies that pay tax and pass the post-tax profit to the non-profit. In this case OpenAI the nonprofit owns OpenAI Global, LLC which is the entity that operates their API/ChatGPT and receives the investments from Microsoft et al.

Other examples include Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation, which receives the payments from Google for default search engine placement and hires Firefox engineers, and the Smithsonian museum gift shop. It’s a very common corporate structure for nonprofits that run some kind of business because it derisks accounting and management.

Musk is offering to buy the forprofit from the nonprofit, which would mean a $97.4 billion endowment for the latter to carry out their mission. It’s not necessarily a bad deal because it converts an optimistic VC valuation into hard assets, unless the rumored new round at a $300 billion valuation with Softbank is true.

I never worked anywhere that was truly waterfall and I've been in the industry for almost 30 years. The best projects I worked on have been iterative with some sort of upfront design phase for each iteration, where an "iteration" was a large chunk... like a couple months... You might hear this referred to as the "spiral" model. There are many shades of gray between "waterfall" and true "agile" and I'd argue that neither extreme actually works.

To clarify, not just any socialism, non-market socialism; the kind that always fails given sufficient time (none longer than 50 years). Markets require adversarial decisionmaking, and when few participants exist they always coordinate, even opposite profit because they receive profit from bailouts and monopoly distortions.

Coordinated moves regardless of cost, cannot perform economic calculation, which is why shifting inventory around at any level doesn't solve core problems under socialism. Mises covers this quite well.

Runaway money printing inevitably runs afoul of the two participants requirements to continue the economic cycle, and those requirements are in purchasing power.

The producers will cease production when they can no longer make a profit, and that happens when the stable store of value of their assets is undermined (chaotically).

The factor markets will cease having children when they can no longer afford to support a wife and three kids (sufficient to get one to the age where they have children). Our birthrate is at 1.44 at last check, significantly below replacement.

The state apparatus who receives money directly from a money printer can continue production, but not efficiently, and certainly not indefinitely, and they typically engage in constraining the supply artificially to raise price level, which distorts the economies chaotically with a whipsaw effect as well.

All in all, it runs into the socialist calculation problem, and that chaos destroys the distribution network. Without that network, it all fails, including food getting to your local grocery store. Been to the store lately? Seen all those empty shelves? See the price of eggs up at the same price as meat. Its all going to come crashing down in the next few years.

The former producer side is fairly immediate in their leaving the market (sieving through merger, acquisition, bankruptcy etc), the latter consumer side may take up to 40 years. We are in year 35 of having dipped underneath the required compensation to raise children, in purchasing power.

Take your pick.
We now have 5 pre-sell paying customers Its exciting:)
We spent the first 3 months exploring ideas. Initially, we started with an automated product feedback tool, trying to uncover the “hair-on-fire” problems in that market. Eventually, we pivoted to building a customer success platform. While we validated there was real pain (after speaking with 15+ CS directors, 10+ CEOs, and 5+ sales leaders), we realized the ICP didn’t have enough influence to buy, and our solution didn’t fit seamlessly into their existing workflows.

What we needed for our early sales momentum: Finding hair on fire problem + Budget authority.

Across 30+ interviews, one thing stood out: everyone was drowning in emails. Whether it was CS teams doing reactive firefighting, sales reps staying on top of prospects, or founders trying to keep communication professional with partners, vendors, and customers—email was overwhelming. And they were juggling all this while managing family responsibilities.

The problem of needing help with their inbox really resonated with our first network connections.

We pitched to tech founders who have had exits and sales executives we already knew—and closed 5 out of 15 sales calls.

Part of this success comes from how universal the problem is: email drains time and energy for nearly everyone. But I also want to acknowledge that some of our early customers just wanted to be supportive—something we don’t take for granted.

No way have we figured it out. We are still doing things that don't scale...

At this stage, we continue to do 1:1 sales while validating and refining our roadmap based on feedback about people’s email workflows.

Kinda corny, but … Stepping back and reflecting like this helps remind me that the journey itself is the reward.
I think you'll for an app like this you'll eventually want to go with something that was designed for a high throughput (I don't think LISTEN/NOTIFY was). Yes, it's nice because you get it out of the box with Postgres, but you'll find that it's not resilient, you need to be careful with managing DB connections (in your case of hundreds/thousands users it is a significant thing), and it's lackluster compared to a specialized PubSub.
