Author is right in their dismissive attitude of Pyodide, but their WASM-ward gaze is probably misplaced, too. Once you're talking about acceptability in terms of being "Python-like enough", you should really be considering a Python-like syntax for JS, which would suffice for a bunch of Python programmers (in particular those who only picked it up as a result of ill-considered advocacy by Python proponents who told them that e.g. Python is how science gets done).
But think of it this way, anybody who specifically wants this chip (Ryzen strix halo) now has a way to buy it in a somewhat modular platform.
This should be clear from my post, but you are preaching to the choir. In my opinion, if someone wants to gut their business, that is their choice. If someone doesn't like the options, they should start a competitor.

basing a system on the idea that consumers shouldn't have to shop or businesses can never fail leads to all sorts perverse outcomes.
In my case very "not useful". Background, I am writing a Substack where I write "deep research" articles on autonomous agent tech and explored several of these tools to understand the risks to my workflow, but none of them can replace my as of now.
> I'm really not seeing the harm in these shitty little vignettes

Pompei and the Black Death aren't historical events that continue to evoke grievances today.

But creating an AI generated recreation of the Nakba or Nanjing Massacre can evoke extreme reactions to this day, and actually instigate diplomatic fallout and even violence in the modern world.

If you keep percolating and percolating such content, then it can complete shift narratives.

Technology is inherently neutral - it's us humans who use technology for good and for bad - but moderation has simply not kept up the rate of change.

> it's more concerning that TikTok's algorithms are able to get people to give their attention to such poor quality content

People will continue watching what they want, and recommender algorithms will continue to recommend them as such.

If recommender algorithms are not regulated, then this is the status quo that arises.

On that front, statist countries like Singapore have better managed these problems, but they also pair it with permissive national security legislation.
The problem is in economics and scale. Hollywood productions were pretty expensive, hence, there were few of them – and they could be tracked as known narratives. ("Ah, well, this is Ben Hur. We know this.") Gen-AI content is incredibly cheap and thus potentially ubiquitous, and has a real potential to become normalized in common imagination.

"I Claudius" is perhaps my favorite series of all time, produced by the BBC during its golden age. You might argue the core was not historicity, but then again it'd seem odd to hold the BBC to a lesser standard than a TikTok video for historical recreations. But it's extremely informative in many ways and also extremely misleading to plainly false in others. It's simply the nature of historical recreation.

It did things such as rather dramatically change the widely recorded historical personality/interests/etc of Claudius, presumably to make him a more likeable 'protagonist'. And they weren't pilloried for it whatsoever but rather drowned, in praise and awards.
Compared to the most popular alternative (mac mini / mac studio), it's still way more inline with the framework mission.

You can still buy the motherboard version and use your own case and PSU. That's better than not just the macs, but also many other mini PCs.

And considering the chip, it's still the most modular way to buy a Ryzen 395 for the foreseeable future.

An interesting read, thanks for this.
I’m excited about the space and intend to keep an eye on you guys. I actually gave the opened source version of browser-use a try last week and ran into two problems:

The first, it refused to correctly load the browser tab and would get stuck in a loop trying. I was able to manually override this behavior for the purpose of prototyping.

The second, it hallucinated form input values. I provided it strict instructions on how to fill out a form and when it didn’t know what to do with an address field, it just wrote 123 Main St instead of not being able to complete the form.

The thing I really want and haven’t found in any of the browser agents I’ve tried, is a feedback loop. I don’t personally know what the final format looks like. But I want to know that what I expected to happen inside the browser, actually happened, and I want it to be verifiable. Otherwise I feel like I'm sending request into a black hole.
I'm from Romania, and IMO the comparisons with the US make no sense, as the actual comparison should be what happened to the countries in the Warsaw Pact before and after USSR's collapse.

Well, those that entered the EU are now far better off by all the metrics that count, and you can take your pick from GDP, income or life expectancy. This didn't happen for all the countries under USSR, depending on whether they stayed within Russia's influence. Obviously, when you have Russia invading a country or threatening to invade, that country won't do well. But even in countries left out of the EU, such as the Republic of Moldova, you can see progress and a strong opposition to regional Russian influence. And Russia does what Russia always did. But it's pretty telling that Eastern European countries like Poland or Romania now have a higher GDP per capita than Russia, lower poverty and higher quality of life included.

In defense of the US, I will say that the Marshall Plan has rebuilt Western Europe after WW2, while USSR's response, the Molotov Plan, was designed for extracting resources. And that Pax Americana did the West, at least, a lot of good is an understatement. ALAS, it appears that world is ending, helped in no small part by the changing views of western citizens, “informed” by the Internet, and guess what will happen next.

Anyway, it's baffling to me to see such a changing tide in opinions on HN, now that the US administration has changed. I mean, I've seen stupid opinions denying reality on HN before, but now it's on a whole new level. I get it, we had cancel culture and all that, but such opinions don't change overnight, so I'm amazed at how many uneducated cowards the world has, even on HN.
Agreed, it all depends on the use case. If you are trying to hit an evading target, you have to be faster. If you are trying to deny the ship from a destination, you don't.
I dunno. I asked for the Pantone of neon brown on transparent aluminum and they stopped returning my calls.
You can't argue with laws of physics at some point. Every nanometer counts at those frequencies. You can't put your RAM too far at some point in which a physical socket will be a deal breaker.

Also, Framework doesn't need to make something for you to "build a PC". PCs are extremely modular already. They are solving a different problem here.
Fear of Chernobyl catastrophe was the major reason to demand free speech. Free speech made it clear that USSR is far behind western countries, it opposes. Which created demand to catchup with West or/and to dismantle inefficient soviet regime (AKA «Go West»[1] or «Light from the West»).

No it’s not. A blockchain is a Merkle tree whose canonical “master branch” is agreed upon by everyone and difficult or impossible to change (e.g. due to PoW or a similar mechanism).

A git repository is just a Merkle tree.
Yes, that's why the biggest spender always wins elections. And why heavily marketed movies never flop.

But the way these discussions always seem to go, is that anyone who provides counterexamples is immediately told they're imagining things and/or gets insulted for being unable to see what's really going on.
It's been a while since I read his writing, but I skimmed and didn't see anything that sounded unlike him. He writes with a very neutral tone.

It did make me wonder though how effectively you could lean on AI to flesh out a list of questions, but I think in this case he has the expertise to write each response quickly and he'd be conscious that this is overall a piece of content doing properly.
>This is so unbelievably lazy.

>You even say this in reference to the Eagles, which are a migratory species whose range crosses hemispheres, as if the contiguous United States is some small aside on that path.

And yet, according to Wikipedia...

>In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extirpation in the contiguous United States, but measures such as banning the practice of hunting bald eagles and banning the use of the harmful pesticide DDT slowed the decline of their population. Populations have since recovered, and the species' status was upgraded from "endangered" to "threatened" in 1995 and removed from the list altogether in 2007.

The irony of calling someone "unbelievably lazy" without maybe checking to see if there was some accuracy to what they were saying is... lol.

I guess we're generally in agreement on the facts, just looking at this from different sides.

You're mostly commenting on the negative effect that DoH has over a private network administrator's legitimate need to control DNS resolution in their own private network.

I was discussing how DoH has positive effects on a network user trying to evade illegitimate control over their DNS resolution on the Internet, such as legally enforced DNS-based censorship of certain sites. Several countries have legally mandated ISPs log and prevent resolution of, say, thepiratebay.com; and some include a requirement to prevent attempts at circumvention of these bans, such as DoT traffic (they might also ban DoH traffic to well known resolvers, which is where own proxies come in).

Regardless, I think we can both agree that DoH was not created to work around ossification, the way QUIC was built on top of UDP instead of being a separate transport.

> I don't care that an eavesdropper can observe discrete TCP/853 traffic because it's encrypted.

Also, this is another level of miscommunication. I agree you don't need DoH to protect from eavesdropping, DoT works just as well. DoH protects from ISPs dropping easily-identifiable DoT packets to force a downgrade to regular plaintext DNS.
AFAIK you would need 4 CAMM modules for that kind of bandwidth, good luck stuffing that onto a board at all, let alone for a reasonable price
We're all food motivated to some extent.

Food motivated is usually the degree to which a dog responds to food in conjunction with other stimulus. When food is used for training as opposed to their normal meals.

Some dogs when training don't respond to food as much as other dogs.
I have no specialized knowledge (just a ZFS user for over a decade). I suspect the reason is that in addition to files, ZFS will also allow you to create volumes. These volumes act like block devices, so if you want to dedup them, you need to do it at the block level.
That seems a pretty standard aftermath to any revolution, with few exceptions. No matter how well intentioned the revolutionaries are, it is the most ruthless who end up seizing power.

This is the old "the United States is horrible and has done terrible thing, so let's for a country that ... has done even worse and is completely unrepentant about it". Like, wut?
I think this should be the default:

Forces pushes are dangerous enough as it is, so I'm mystified on why git doesn't insist you know the state of upstream before running it.

Yeah, there are only a few pockets of grizzlies left in the lower 48, and one of them connects to their larger territory in Canada. They used to roam throughout Washington's Cascades but are completely gone, so much so that there are efforts to reintroduce them in the NCNP soon.

> but it's hard to see any way that could be productively addressed

It sounds to me there are things digicert could have done better, without violating the court order:

- they could have revoked all the other certs that weren't protected by the TRO. They did not.

- they could have contested the TRO sooner. But they didn't.

- Possibly, they could have given customers more warning, since they didn't notify customers until much of the 24 hours was gone

That said, IMO I don't what they did is necessarily irredeemable. But they need to come up with, and execute on, a plan to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. And threatening legal action is really not a good way to re-establish trust.
> The emulator in this context is the BEAM VM that is running the whole application (including the supervisors)

You are correct - one could still architect is such that the genserver hosting the NIF(s) run in a separate process/VM/computer in the same cluster since message passing is network-transparent, though inter-host messages have higher latencies.
It would be nice if they revisited it in light of AI captioning services.
It’s unbelievably lazy to trivialize biodiversity loss given the fact that we’re in the midst of the Anthropocene Extinction.

Again, Eagles are a migratory species, that they subsisted by eating garbage in small town Alaska having been hunted and DDT’d to extinction in the lower 48 isn’t the feather in your cap you think it is. The point is that we killed all of the eagles in the lower 48 - a huge swath of territory.

A few months after the book launch, some marketing manager at Barnes and Noble decided to do a 50% off any book promo, not thinking too hard about it and it instantly spread through all the foodie forums.

Later on, they did the same promo but Modernist Cuisine was prominently listed as a book the promo didn’t apply to.

Anyway, that, my friends, is the story of how I made $313 impulse purchase.
I'm not sure the lower and lower precision optimization is a good idea long term. It indicates that models are really sparse and that may be true right now but I think that is likely just because we have some bad ideas about how to train them and not because they really should be that sparse.
Logic can seem very consistent in a vacuum but again, because you can't find a single statistic to support your claims about piracy (while I already cited some evidence for my side), you cling to what you think is true, not what is empirically studied to be true. Your bloviating in as many paragraphs doesn't really mean anything, so unless you can cite something meaningful, I'm done with this nearly two week old conversation.

Many past technologies have defied “it’s flattening out” predictions. Look at Personal computing, the internet, and smartphone technology.

I think of it as the return to 10 blue links. It searches the web, finds stuff and summarizes it so I can decide which links to click. I ignore the narrative it constructs because it’s probably wrong. Which I forgive because it’s the hazmat suit for the internet I’ve always dreamed of.

It gets in the trenches, braves the cookie popups, email signups, inline ads and overly clever web design so I don’t have to. That’s enough to forgive its attempts to create research narratives. But, I hope we can figure out a way to train a heaping spoonful of humility into future models.
Show HN: AI That Reads Docs and Drafts Customer Support Emails
I built an AI tool to help with customer support emails. Instead of searching through documents or relying on canned templates, it reads your uploaded docs and drafts contextual replies.

The idea is to speed things up while keeping responses accurate. AI suggests replies, but you stay in control before sending.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

Should AI handle more of this autonomously, or always require human review?
Have you seen AI email assistants that actually work well?

How do you scale customer support without losing quality?

Curious to hear what the HN community thinks!
It really depends on a lot of factors, including time and place. The lot of a "medieval peasant" was not the same across time (1000+ years) and place (all of Europe) and varied a ton. Your link is a response to an article by an economist that notes periods of high wages in the fourteenth century in England, that's it. There were certainly times when peasants had much less labor to perform on their lord's lands, or might have been free peasants and have none, or lived in an area with no demesne-like system, etc.

Which just makes the whole thing of looking at the life of peasants and talking about how much free time they had compared to us all the sillier. The point about what else you need to do to live (cook, mend clothes, etc.) is important, but makes it even more difficult to compare to our modern lives, even variation aside.

The article makes it clear that they're inherently "scrappy and opportunistic". You can change the items to match any time period - what about snatching food from a settler's hand, or sneaking a bite of rotten meat a native might have lying around? That's fundamentally the same thing as grabbing food out of a dumpster.

For as much shit as I talk about the state of this country, I'm struggling to use what is, ostensibly, just a bird eating food out of a dumpster as some kind of example of our decline.
Is that not one of the main benefits that AI is supposed to bring though, and the way that that word is used in that context? Taking things that were previously the domain of experts who actually knew what they were doing and allowing the entire general public full ability to participate?
Some new laptops cannot actually fully suspend to ram. It sounds crazy but I had this issue even after installing Linux on a laptop. It’s a hardware limitation. You can thank Microsoft for trying to make sure they can sneak in OS updates when you think your laptop is asleep.
Generally agree with you but I'm not going to clutter my project's .gitignore with stuff that's in the responsibility of the user to keep in their own ignore list like .DS_Store.

Editor is generally one per project which checked in config (.vscode) and if you want to use vim, have your own rules for ~ which you likely have anyway.
Also, both are not exclusive: .env can be checked in and in .gitignore
I built this because I saw how much time support teams spend searching for answers and writing replies. Instead of using rigid templates, this AI suggests responses based on uploaded documents.

Do you think AI should handle replies on its own, or should there always be human review?
