A few decades ago, full immobilization was the gold standard, now it turns out early movement is actually better. I wonder what other long-held recovery protocols will be overturned in the next 20 years. Interesting, but I haven't broken anything in my entire life so far...
I use my local router as a DNS cache/proxy for this exact reason, though i doubt 12ms (or 24ms) will mean much in the grand scheme of things compared to downloading a 25MB webpage which is mostly tracking code and ads.

Yes, if we were in the "good old days" of slim websites, 12ms may be noticable, but today, with webpages taking up lots and lots of storage that is served with every connetion, i seriously doubt you'll notice.

Besides that, every browser and modern operating system will cache DNS records for whatever the TTL from the upstream DNS is set to.
Not the person you're replying to, but my take on it is that the checks and balances -- embodied by the legislative and judicial branches -- are only effective if a) they take action against the executive branch, and b) the executive branch respects them.

Congress is sitting on its hands and seems to be enjoying the view so far, for the most part. Republicans in Congress seem to think it's fine that Trump is usurping power vested in the legislative branch. Or at the very least they're afraid to speak up; every time they do, Trump threatens to primary them during the next election cycle. (I'm honestly not sure which is worse.) Democrats are "waiting for the right pitch to swing at" (paraphrasing Jeffries), as if doing nothing is some sort of strategy. And it's not like they can do anything anyway; certainly they have the power to get proposed legislation passed/not passed if Johnson loses a few GOP votes, but they can't get new legislation on the floor (y'know, like something that says "get DOGE out of the government's computer systems, right now") without the permission of GOP-controlled committees and Mike Johnson.

The courts are doing some things so far, but by their very nature, they're slower to act. But even if they tell Trump he can't do something, Trump doesn't actually have to listen. The executive branch is responsible for the enforcement of laws... and court orders. Let's say a court orders Musk to stop doing something, and he ignores it. Let's then say the court finds Musk in contempt, and orders him jailed. Who is going to arrest him? Not Trump's US Marshals Service, not Trump's FBI, etc.
I'm running a global social experiment – let's see what happens
I’ve always been curious about how generosity and impulse work in the online world. So, I decided to launch a simple social experiment:

What happens if I give people the opportunity to send any amount of money to a stranger, with no reason, no charity, no rewards – just to see if they would?

There’s no goal, no campaign, no deadline – it’s purely a curiosity test. Some might send 1 cent, some might ignore it completely. If someone does send something, they can suggest a use for it, and I’ll document it anonymously.

I’m interested in human behavior, online generosity, and how people interact with randomness. This is less about money and more about psychology and social dynamics.

Would love to hear thoughts on this:

Have there been similar experiments in the past?
What do you think the outcome will be?
How would you design this differently?

This TCO is in how the CPython interpreter works, not in making Python itself tail recursive. Some of the C code in the interpreter has been reorganized to put some calls into tail position where the C compiler turns them into jumps. That avoids some call/return overhead and makes the interpreter run a little faster. It's still interpreting the same language with the same semantics.

Maybe most electable (though I'm not sure I buy that either), but certainly not best. The simple fact that she's now Trump's DNI makes it clear that she'd been playing for the other team even before her official party switch.

No need to introduce the concept of energy. It's a "natural" probability measure on any space where the outcomes have some weight. In particular, it's the measure that maximizes entropy while fixing the average weight. Of course it's contentious if this is really "natural," and what that even means. Some hardcore proponents like Jaynes argue along the lines of epistemic humility but for applications it really just boils down to it being a simple and effective choice.

But off-label use is legal, so it's ok to use a drug that's safe but not proven effective (to the FDA's high standards) for that ailment... but only if it's been proven effective for some other random ailment. That makes no sense.

Welcome to HN.

Your comment read to me like an attempt to energize and motivate. It didn't seem to have "substance". How does your comment help me improve my understanding of what compromises a good engineer? Instead it seems to suggest I shut down my mind, stop doing the work, and feel like I've already won before I've even started. Yet, improving as an engineer has come with a lot of work, challenging myself to get more specific, be concrete and appropriately detailed, as well as thinking through "but really... How would that work throughout the complete causal chain with no shortcuts?".

I won't claim there aren't downsides but there is a utility to the expectation.
Hopefully you find ways it can help you grow.
You’re missing my point entirely. VOCs and PM2.5 are bad for you no doubt, which means this study is showing that these non combustible scented candles are producing measurable levels of dangerous indoor air pollution — we’re all in agreement there. That’s not at all what I meant by common sense and my comment was in no way intended to be a defense of scented products.

But the headline says “Scented products cause indoor air pollution on par with car exhaust”. This is not supported by the study. PM2.5 and VOCs are not the only forms of indoor air pollution. Combustion produces other deleterious byproducts that negatively impact human health.

Run a car in your garage for a day and run scented candle and tell me which is worse for you. That is what I mean by common sense.
As someone who recently switched from a Pixel 5 to an iPhone 15 Pro (bought purely for the camera as I'm travelling around Japan at the moment), I hate it. I'm going straight back to Android when I get back to the UK.

I plugged it into my MBP expecting to be able to copy media over, but you can only copy it into the sandboxed filesystem of one app. So choose wisely.

Downloading media using Plex etc sucks. As soon as the phone locks or you move to another app, it stops. On Pixel, I could queue up a load of downloads or SMB transfers, lock my phone on the side and expect them to be complete when I come back.

As for a terminal or using it like a computer, fuhgeddaboutit.

If anything I've said is wrong, please correct me. I want to like this phone, the camera is out of this world.
Yes, I'm really impressed by the speed as well.

You guys are lucky to have biology on your side.

Statistically, Trump will be in charge for about 10 years max, before the Grimm Reaper creates a power vacuum. (I can't wait for his creative interpretation of the 22st.)

At this point, options will be open again.

May some real lawyers have a jab at this.

Good luck.

That's perfectly fine. If the Trump Administration wants to force-feed Gulf of America onto the US, let that show up within the US.

Masking looks interesting for sequences that can't be lossy. If an image squishes a pixel here or there, it won't be noticed, but if a sentence lacks room for "if", that sounds bad.

Does this force the model to encode a high-level answering strategy? (AFAIU, there's no reordering during sampling.) Or does it mean a masking model of a certain size is more prone to making things up that fit the blank space?
I want to make a very unfair joke at this point. I'm pretty sure we've all felt it about dogfooding, at one point or another. But in truth, it would be supposition.

> unless the dems get 2/3 the senate that will never happen.

If the Dems ever got more than 2/3 of the Senate, then precisely the number of Dems necessary to vote against their party would do so. The party would loudly bemoan the result, and then point out that the defectors had to be DINOs so that they could win their district.

In other words, that will never happen, and was never gonna happen; even if Dems could win a 70% majority without war breaking out over perceived election theft.

Personally, I can't have any faith in a party which armed and supported genocide to defend either democracy or checks and balances. They 'accidentally' dropped the ball many times on this exact issue [0] over the last four years, when heading all this off at the pass would have been far simpler.

money quote:

"if Microsoft’s claim stands, then topological qubits have finally reached some sort of parity with where more traditional qubits were 20-30 years ago. I.e., the non-topological approaches like superconducting, trapped-ion, and neutral-atom have an absolutely massive head start: there, Google, IBM, Quantinuum, QuEra, and other companies now routinely do experiments with dozens or even hundreds of entangled qubits, and thousands of two-qubit gates. Topological qubits can win if, and only if, they turn out to be so much more reliable that they leapfrog the earlier approaches—sort of like the transistor did to the vacuum tube and electromechanical relay. Whether that will happen is still an open question, to put it extremely mildly."
Well, it is true that civil servants have those protections to some extent. You ignore the benefits. Look up Tammany hall and patronage.
I acknowledged in my last comment that the cost doesn't have to be $100k but that it would still be very high if you opted for the workstation design. You're gonna need to add one more CPU to your design, add another 8 memory channels, beefier PSU, and a new motherboard that can accommodate this. So, 8k (memory) + 10k (cpus) + the rest. As I said, not less than $20k.
Cool product, I can imagine my engineers using it. Out of curiosity, how would you monitize that?
Chrome extension to save and organize AI conversations across multiple AI tools
The "something" needs to become more specific, far more specific. Do you have strong domain expertise in HR? If not, you could use your consulting client base as a starting point.

You mention you might use it internally for recruitment. That's a great starting point. Find one pain point (your itch) fix it with your tech. Then pick the next pain point, repeat.

In parallel your marketing effort should be identifying potential clients who are most likely to have the same pain points as you. Since you are dog-fooding your product, you can easily demonstrate how your product solves that particular problem. Again, repeat.
It’s called SaveAIChats, and it captures your prompts, responses, and entire AI chat history—across platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Deepseek and more—without the copy-paste hassle.

I kept noticing I’d have brilliant discussions with AI tools but lose track of them, or I’d want to share an AI-generated idea with someone but couldn’t easily find the exact conversation. It felt like I was constantly screenshotting or digging through chat logs. So I built this extension to:

Automatically save prompts & responses from various AI tools with a single click (no more manual copy-pasting).

Organize them into folders for easy retrieval—helpful for projects, research, and team collaboration.

Shareable links (public or private) let you show your AI chats to friends, colleagues, or clients.

Comment and version control inside the saved chats, so you can see how discussions evolve.

It works across multiple AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and more on the way) so you don’t have to juggle different methods for each tool.

I wanted something that integrates directly into my workflow—no extra windows, no extra steps. Just install, save, and keep all your AI insights in one place.

I’d love feedback from fellow AI enthusiasts: do you think something like this is helpful?

You can try it out here (currently supports Google Chrome only). Let me know your thoughts, and if you spot any bugs or have feature suggestions, I’m all ears!

Note: This extension relies on Chrome-based APIs, so it only works on Google Chrome at the moment.
I enjoy the quality of "it's too early to say" in Aaronson's writing. It won't stop share price movement or hopeless optimism amongst others.

I do wonder if he is running a simple 1st order differential on his own beliefs. He certainly has the chops here, and self introspection on the trajectory of highs and lows and the trends would interest me.
I think this is a good point. I'm not convinced that we can take all that much for granted during this presidential term. Trump is all about violating norms, and now he has Musk flipping votes in Congress by threatening to fund primary challengers.

But the cynic in my knows that a big chunk of a legislator's job is figuring out how to get re-elected next term. If (when) Trump does things unpopular with regular Republicans, and legislators are seen to be doing nothing to help their constituents, they'll start to worry they won't get re-elected.

It'll be the same thing that's happened with Democrats: Republican voter turnout will suffer because the candidates in front of them aren't doing anything useful for them.

A lot of the mobile networks use off the shelf hardware. That was one of the reasons Huawei was painful to remove from global phone networks. If they don't work, they will not work over multiple networks.

If there are reports of iPhones failing to work reliably from Kansas City to Kuala Lumpur then it would be unlikely to be the operators being blamed here.
But what if I bring my AI butt plug?
This is good to see. AI "safety" is a bit like internet "safety". Is it unfortunate what people can do with an unrestricted internet? Yeah, spam and private information and child porn and revenge porn and various other nasty things are out there. But it is broadly recognised that we should not try to solve this by censorship and control over technical methods and hardware resources, but by taking down the bad content we can, when it occurs.

Imagine if, to make a website, you had to fill out forms and submit them to the government for approval. Sorry, you can't have an unrestricted server connected to the internet, you can just make webpages using an approved website builder GUI using only those images that aren't filtered out by the host.

That is what the internet would be like if it were treated as the censors want to treat AI. No public training data sets. You can't run AI on your computer. You can't train your own models, or even finetune them. You can use the big censored models provided by the big companies that have the resources to get past regulatory approvals, or you can use the product of someone that has done this.

If the internet had been like this we'd be decades behind where we are today.
Having access to the data scares me less than the utter ineptitude demonstrated in presenting “findings”. Findings in quotes because if I used that level of analytical rigour I’d be instantly fired, probably out of a cannon into the sun.

True, but even in either party's most wildest predictions, a supermajority in the House or Senate is vanishingly unlikely.

I guess there's a chance Trump will do something so horribly unpopular that there will be extreme bipartisan support for limiting his power in some ways. But I'm not sure I'd rely on that either.

> If you really like eating chicken, you may end up finding it difficult to eat them again in the future after you develop a bond with them.

I used the believe the same, but as I found out on HN, there are a lot of people who won't bat an eye killing animals raised on their own land. Maybe they just never develop a bond with these animals.

But then the question should be is it just the "bond" which is holding someone back from killing animals? Why can't we just not kill without relying on bonds?
