The cause doesn't really matter, you pay for priorized access to them (otherwise you can send your complaints to the customer service like a message in a bottle)

It works the same for most companies where their product is a foundation of your business.

Think Apple store for instance: you'll pay for premium support tickets to have expedited reviews of your apps, even if it's to work around a bug they just pushed in their new OS update.
Show HN: Rhyme or Reason – Open Ended Word Puzzle with LLM Judge
I finally built a little app around a word puzzle that my brother and I created a few years back.

You start with two random words and goal is to connect the two words with alternating RHYMES and "REASONS" (similar words). Here are two examples of valid solutions for starting words (peach, chair):

peach --(rhyme)--> teach --(reason)--> school --(rhyme)--> stool --(reason)--> chair

peach --(reason)--> pit --(rhyme)--> sit --(reason)--> chair

In the app, every placed word is judged by an LLM on whether it rhymes or is "commonly related". There are definitely bugs here in terms of different pronunciations and pop-culture references, so I'm excited to see what the edge cases are.

The selected two words reset daily and theres a lightweight sharing function to show your friends your solution. It's a surprisingly challenging game and there are virtually infinite solutions so I figure it'd be a fun thing to share with folks here!

Would love some feedback!
Did you check out the links? They don’t align well with what is claimed (especially the first link). Posts from throwaway accounts should generally be treated with skepticism.
IIRC how FiveM works now is that it pretends to be a "peer" when reusing the GTA Online protocols. Per area where players are, one player becomes the "owner" of that zone (responsible for traffic etc since there's no way for the server to know the map), it network backs to the "server peer" which in turn networks it to other players in the area. The server keeps a track of what player owns what in order to prevent cheats and sanitizes input from clients.

The server only tries to network a limited amount of players to the client (that are nearby) in order to bypass the GTA online protocol player limit. But ultimately this meant that a lot worked on FiveM compared to Alt:V (e.g. traffic, networked scenes, full character appearance etc).
The end of artisan frameworks - probably for the better.
Would you bet the republic on your understanding of QE? I sure hope not
> That's why fast chargers cost significantly more.

Utilities also charge higher per-kW rates due to the high demand to be able to charge each car at 250 or more kW.

Wasn't most of the censoring client-side anyway? Anyway, gow can you make a model truely "unbiased" and have it spit out a quality response?
I'm wondering the same thing.

Most of these workflows are just context management workflows and in Cursor it's so simple to manage the context.

For large files I just highlight the code and cmd+L. For short files, I just add them all by using /+downarrow

I constantly feed context like this and then usually come to a good solution for both legacy and greenfield features/products.

If I don't come to a good solution it's almost always because I didn't think through my prompt well enough and/or I didn't provide the correct context.
Well, not being a techie, for me there is: I can do what the AI said and make the conversion but there's no way I could ever follow the — to me inscrutable —recommendations here.
My ire for patent trolls is distinct.

The patent "business" is just garbage. A company full of lawyers collecting rents on mathematical algorithms does not "promote the progress of science and useful arts".

I think there is still a place for patents, but most of the time they seem to just stifle innovation and increase the cost of everything.
> But you're saying with a clean design & boron based neutron absorbing buffer layer, we could limit neutron activation of the surrounding rock?

Yes, but if the bomb is surrounded by a blanket of boron, it will absorb most of the fusion neutrons. Not _all_, but a significant part of them.

The budget is actually not unreasonable. Fusion warhead scaling is easy, especially if you are not worried about practicalities for combat applications. You just keep on adding bigger stages.

And a boron blanket is literally a boron blanket. You can't do any real engineering for it, it's going to become a highly ionized plasma within the first moments of the explosion, held together only by inertia.
It's likely the end of a lot of abstractions that made programming easier.

At some point, specialized code-gen transformer models should get really good at just spitting out the lowest level code required to perform the job.
Reminder on various DeepSeek problems:

1. DeepSeek is full of propaganda/censorship (https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/01/the-questions-the-chinese...)

2. They already had a serious security and privacy issue when they left their database wide open and leaked everyone’s chat history (https://www.wiz.io/blog/wiz-research-uncovers-exposed-deepse... )

3. Multiple teams of security researchers found code that links DeepSeek to the Chinese government through China Mobile, who is banned from operating in the US (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/researchers-link-deepseek...)

4. Other countries like South Korea are banning DeepSeek already over privacy concerns (https://mashable.com/article/south-korea-blocks-deepseek)

Trump needs to enforce PAFACA and ban TikTok, but also ban DeepSeek, which has the same exact issues since it is also effectively operated by a foreign adversary and poses various security threats.
Can you not find it? I can find basically any spending data I want at the tip of my fingers (well, less so now that it's unclear what's being paid) - anything specific that you feel is missing that you want to see?
Lots of leet scientists there, in all seriousness. CEA is my alma mater, though I worked on quantum computing, not fusion.
Well you can use an LLM similarly. Have it write docs for all your files including a summary for each function / class, ideally in order of dependency. Then use only the summaries in context. This should significantly lower your token count.

Haven't tried it personally but it should work
As placebos go, feeling toasty warm has to be way up there.
There is no danger of destroying the facility. The problem is keeping the plasma going. Even with self-sustaining fusion, the plasma doesn't have that much energy, it is really hot but low density.

The duration is because plasma is heated by rising current, and that hits limit after some period of time. With self-sustaining fusion, heating shouldn't be needed after the initial pulse.
People are going to read this because it's Bruce friggin' Schneier. But Bruce is best when he's discussing low-level details of some actual exploit. And usually even then, his coverage glosses over most technical details. He's the guy you go to when you hear about "spectre" or "meltdown" and want a quick three-paragraph summary of what the deal is.

This is different. This is a hand-wavy "maybe somehow possibly I guess someday" article, presumably his freelance writing fee is nice.

This is a trait you see in his other articles (the hand-waviness) but here it's all fluff and hand-waviness. Take, for example:

> By modifying core systems, the attackers have not only compromised current operations, but have also left behind vulnerabilities that could be exploited in future attacks

Logically, that should say "By modifying core system, the attackers could compromise current operations and/or leave behind vulnerabilities" (he's calling the DOGE government employees "attackers" because his politics allow him to look at the grey area from a highly-polarized angle, another mainstay of Bruce's reporting). But logic flew out the window, I guess. If you modify code, you introduce vulnerabilities. Always! 100% of the time! This guy spent too much time writing encryption code, methinks.
> like guarantees of correctness,

Yeah, no. I have to strongly disagree with this.

AWS's documentation about operating AWSs products and services I assume are correct and accurate.

If I follow their guides and end up breaking something because it turns out they forgot to tell me about something important, I would consider that a breach of warranty.

The only reason I can think of where documentation should be behind a pay/auth-wall is if it was generated specifically for your circumstances as part of some kind of solutions architecture or technical support process.
Looks like your blog crashed, I've been wanting to read it
It's good this was rolled back, but the fact this got to production in the first place is worrying; it's baffling that anyone at any stage thought this was even remotely acceptable.

I always defaulted to AWS but this has me reconsidering other options for the future.
When I see stories like this, doesn't it make it easier, not harder for the DOGE folks to do their thing?

I get the "resign in protest" angle but is it really helping any?
HP Acquires Humane's AI Software
That sounds similar to this in QC:

From "Reversible computing escapes the lab" (2025) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42660606#42705562 :

> FWIU from "Quantum knowledge cools computers", if the deleted data is still known, deleting bits can effectively thermally cool, bypassing the Landauer limit of electronic computers? Is that reversible or reversibly-knotted or?

> "The thermodynamic meaning of negative entropy" (2011) https://www.nature.com/articles/nature10123

Though also Landauer's limit presumably only applies to electrons; not photons or phonons or gravitational waves.
Yea, I'm not ragging on the parent for the choice they made. There's a lot of services it's just not worth the effort, and many people do find oauth2 to work just fine.
Does DeepSeek only share South Korean data?
Any other migraineurs share what I call "Silver Bullet Fatigue" at trying new treatments? I've been at this for six decades with no magic solution for my own migraine problems, and I've lost count of all the neurological investigations, meds, scans, treatments, and helpful or sometimes utterly silly suggestions that have come up short over the years. Some have come close but had undesireable side effects, others made me very ill in their own right. At this point I just don't have much desire to go through the treatment wringer again. Am I alone in this sort of fatigue?
Texas Attorney General launches investigation into DeepSeek
Some quotes from this article:

> “DeepSeek appears to be no more than a proxy for the CCP to undermine American AI dominance and steal the data of our citizens,” Paxton said in a statement, referencing the Chinese Communist Party. “That’s why I’m announcing a thorough investigation and calling on Google and Apple to cooperate immediately by providing all relevant documents related to the DeepSeek app.”

> Paxton also said he notified DeepSeek that its platform violates the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act.

> Following the release of the startup’s new AI model last month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) banned state officials from using it and other Chinese technology on government devices. Virginia and New York have followed suit with similar bans.
The primary reason I do most of my DIY home repair is because 9 times out of 10, I have been severely underwhelmed with the quality and workmanship of the "professionals" I have hired. Even armed with a written scope of work and diagrams, and assurances that they will do the work exactly how I'm asking, they still just do whatever they want and then hand me the bill.

Over the years, I have accumulated the tools (and importantly: knowledge!) to do almost any home repair or remodeling. The main things I won't touch are those that require extensive experience to get right (drywall mudding a whole room), those that require a whole team (replacing a roof), or those that require big expensive machines (a clogged sewer line with the clog halfway out to the road).
Yes that's silent migraine with aura, you experience the visual effects but not the headache. It's rare but happens for some people.

The representation is really good in my opinion! Gives me flashbacks.
When interviewing for past jobs this is all over the place.

* Some places are incredibly interested in my side projects. They want to know about the motivation, the solution, and more. These places are really interested in what interests the candidate, their initiative, and their capacity for independently solving real problems.

* Some places are mild concerned about side projects, because they want to determine the real level of actual experience and capabilities, but are otherwise interested in anything about the side projects.

* Most of the time they only want to know about work history. In these cases I really feel like they are looking for mindless automatons on conveyor belt to supplement their pool of low confidence beginners.

This experience from interviewing for JavaScript related jobs. I stopped doing that line of work more than a year ago. Now, in the real world, places are more interested in my prior leadership experiences. This mostly means all the overseas adventures I have gone on in the military and only mild interest in my side programming projects just enough to know that I am a self-starter.
Hah I used to work there as well. I pictured this whole story taking place in 55 Water St.
Let me put it another way; can you provide some examples of ideas, topics or opinions that I are likely to be censored if I posted them on X?
From the 5th paragraph of the article, Americans are complaining:

> Since then, multiple countries have warned that user data may not be properly protected, and in February a US cybersecurity company alleged potential data sharing between DeepSeek and ByteDance.
This is a "fun" idea, but I'm a bit troubled by the fact that you've chosen to release this right now.

Are you implying something? Not that subtle, truth be told. I'm not American, but hopefully there are someone here who knows the proper X-handle or other official authority to report this to.
> Legacy modern code

As opposed to Vintage Pioneer code?
you do the same thing with the llm, you have it describe the api of modules not related to your code and that in place of those segments of the code.
The naming might be somewhat politically coloured but post training with quality data is the best case for uncensoring models: abliteration usually causes substantial drop in performance.

Too bad the created dataset is not open source, as that would allow to verify the objectivity of answers to make sure it is not just a different flavour of propaganda.

That dataset is strategically useful for Perplexity as many more CCP-censored Chinese models are sure to be released.
Calculations are for calculators. I was good at math in school but now I struggle / take so much time doing receipt math and for what? What's the purpose of the time you spend doing it, when do you need to have your brain trained for this specific task?
Svelte supports TypeScript, but the project itself dropped it for JSDocs a year or so back.

Here's a discussion on it, with the first post from Rich Harris himself with some reasoning: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35891259
Well, now every comment mentioning waste is flagged. And this article is unflagged.

I guess it's the opposite opinions that are no longer welcome on HN?
> No, you don't need to be in direct contact with the NATing router.

Or control the internal network of my ISP.

> All you need to be able to do is send a packet that ends up at your router with the dest IP set to one of your LAN machines.

Which you can't do.

> if you're using a properly routed prefix then it can be done from anywhere.

If I had a publically routed /24, then I wouldn't be using NAT in the first place. Which is the case in point: NAT _is_ a firewall.

> Forwarding traffic from WAN to LAN isn't a misconfiguration

Sigh. I mean allowing the SYN packets to be forwarded from WAN to LAN.
Right, subsidies, tax breaks.

But a big problem, especially when it comes to competing with China, is that you need your supply chain to be local too. The main reason manufacturing is so affordable in China is not just labor costs, which are now lower in some other countries than China, but because you have the entire supply chain right at hand.
That won’t protect you from its propaganda/censorship. Some versions of DeepSeek’s models have bias built in - as in it’s not just implemented by their service/app. But offline does protect you from privacy/security issues.
Languages are about trade-offs.
Kinda cool how modern refrigeration is so good and cheap people can larp the old expensive in their time ways of refrigeration (having your drink cooled by lake ice that was cut and stored) as a novelty.
Depending on how you count it that could be a version originally released in 2018 i.e. the version they are aiming to support is 3.28 which you should be able to easily update to from 3.0 (which was released in 2018) since it's a minor update with no breaking changes
We have a 3 year old and came back to CDs for night time stories. I know now every company under the sun sells these special NFC equipped speakers where you buy little statuettes of your favourite characters, you put them on the speaker and it plays a story. But even ignoring the cost of the speaker, the figurines cost a fortune, like £15 each usually. You know what doesn't cost a fortune? An old Sony CD player and an album of 100CDs with Disney(and other stories) from eBay. And my son has as much fun picking the story to listen to with CDs as they always have a colourful label on them.
Who specifically? Could you name names? Or are you going to ask us to believe without evidence that the guy who got FIVE mega-Unicorns off the ground (3 of them "impossible") "understands nothing"?
Have you used MobX? It was there 10 years ago and still working. Svelte runes are basically the same with some perf wins but require compilation
We’ve had excellent experiences with AWS enterprise support over several instances. It’s not cheap (nor is AWS overall), but my experience is that the support is quite good rather than useless.

I have no doubt that others have had bad experiences, but that’s not been ours.

(I have no connection to Amazon, other than as a user of AWS and retail and holder of broad-based funds some of which hold Amazon.)
If Id had paid Microsoft to do the port, it would automatically be work-for-hire and the copyrights would belong to Id, unless the contract said otherwise.

But Microsoft essentially licensed the Doom source code and ported it themselves, it's not work-for-hire, so the copyright on any changes would default to Microsoft. Though, I'm really not sure if Microsoft paid anything for this licence, or if there even was a contract.
Chronic pain suffer here. All major joints , but specifically neck and back bother me most. Diet for me is key. I'm gluten free and low sugar at this point. I've also started to ween caffeine (sadly).
Right! I just looked at replacement plugs for the US, and they're all either compression fit or screw terminals! So, teeth plus a screwdriver (or maybe a butter knife) is all you need.
I always ask this regardless of whether or not they're senior level. I think the answer can give a real insight into what sorts of things gets the person excited. If they don't have any programming side projects, that's not a mark against them, but I will follow up with asking them what their hobbies are.
People don’t put up with Lisp syntax, we actively enjoy it. Some of us find it very pleasant to read.

Most folks probably had a fair amount of difficulty as children associating letter shapes with sounds, and then with words. Languages such as English have all sorts of historical cruft in their orthography, syntax and grammar, and yet we write poetry in it anyway.
'Triangle of death': will Italy tackle mafia's toxic waste dumping?
I liked svelte quite a bit, but I wouldn't recommend it for most projects.

Whatever version of svelte you use will be dead and abandoned soon, so if you have any hope for a long-lived project, you're jumping on the update treadmill, where the value proposition is 100% backwards...

If your project fails, then great, no problem!

If it succeeds you'll have to spend a proportion of your time upgrading.

Worst case scenario is your project succeeds and grows. The time you spend upgrading grows in proportion with how much you use it. And in complex projects you tend to get these spikes of exponential upgrade work, which outright blocks your progress.

No thanks.

(Of course, this isn't restricted to svelte. React and all the crap you have to use with it are even worse.)
The janitor did the best work they could... it was just too much for any one human.
Fair.

Heh, I remember being a distraction and being put in the back of the class. And when I finished tasks quicker than others, I couldn't be quiet. I was put in the hallway to do base 5 math in 3rd grade.
I use it like that all the time. There's so much information in the world which assumes you have a certain level of understanding already - you can decipher the jargon terms it uses, you can fill in the blanks when it doesn't provide enough detail.

I don't have 100% of the "common sense" knowledge about every field, but good LLMs probably have ~80% of that "common sense" baked in. Which makes them better at interpreting incomplete information than I am.

A couple of examples: a post on some investment forum mentions DCA. A cooking recipe tells me "boil the pasta until done".

I absolutely buy that feeding in a few photos of dusty half-complete manual pages found near my water heater would provide enough context for it to answer questions usefully.
I'd encourage you to read my reply to the sibling comment to yours.

In brief: depression is a feedback loop, because it interferes with your ability to take the actions you need to take to be less depressed. If you've been depressed for a while, that loop is probably pretty well-established. Antidepressants make the feedback weaker, and that lets you begin to work on breaking the loop.

Antidepressants don't solve your problems, and they don't make you unaware of them. They just make the problems easier to work on. They don't make you weak. They give you the ability to work on being stronger.
Fusion energy gain factor:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_energy_gain_factor :

> A fusion energy gain factor, usually expressed with the symbol Q, is the ratio of fusion power produced in a nuclear fusion reactor to the power required to maintain the plasma in steady state
Those 200 papers correspond to 4 papers per week, or more than 1 paper every other day for the whole year, weekends and holidays included. Coauthored with thousands of people they'd never published with before. It's a rather incredible rate.
> At the risk of coming off as a nay-sayer, let's say engineering hurtles related to fusion power generation is overcome. How is the presumably high upfront capital costs going to compare with the ROI?

Does money even matter once fusion is attainable?
I can only applause this change. Next time somebody blindly suggests AWS I can counter-argue by saying even their documentation costs money.

But I don't think sleazy is the right term for hitting yourself in confusion.

Maybe moronic fits better?
Thats weird, you can open an account with just a credit card and update tax id / business details later.

Was it because you were doing "AWS activate" or something? If that experience is much worse than their regular signup process that's both funny and sad :/

With AWS support what I do is enable "developer support" (~$30/month) when I need to ask them a bunch of stuff, then I cancel it for the other 11 months of the year when I don't need their help. It's a bit cheap and I'm sure my account rep would have words if I was a "real business" but in practice it works for me.
