Yeah-- in a professional workflow, at best, these tools are for getting ideas rather than creating output that will be used directly. Lots of folks use them for actual creation because they're just so enamored with the ability to create vaguely technically competent output from text, but they're all pretty much a bee-line to mediocre, and overcoming mediocrity is absolutely the most difficult part of working with AI output. The same is true with text, as you mentioned, and image generators. As Charles Eames said, "The details are not the details. They make the design." Well, these tools suck with details, and details convey character, perspective, message, meaning, etc. Surely the tooling will improve this in years to come, but it certainly hasn't yet.
It really depends on personal preferences. I find it best to hover the wrists while typing and rest while idle. In such case no palm rest paired with reasonably low profile works best.

I love this one. Simple and efficient. Thanks!
>unlike what's suggested (if not quite stated) in the film Lawrence of Arabia

The scene from the movie is based on this passage from chapter 20 of Seven Pillars, which suggests that while he was familiar with Arab clothing before the war, there was a period of time when he was in British army uniform during the Arab conflict, until he was asked by Feisal to change into Arab clothes:

"Suddenly Feisal asked me if I would wear Arab clothes like his own while in the camp. I should find it better for my own part, since it was a comfortable dress in which to live Arab-fashion as we must do. Besides, the tribesmen would then understand how to take me. The only wearers of khaki in their experience had been Turkish officers, before whom they took up an instinctive defence. If I wore Meccan clothes, they would behave to me as though I were really one of the leaders; and I might slip in and out of Feisal’s tent without making a sensation which he had to explain away each time to strangers. I agreed at once, very gladly; for army uniform was abominable when camel-riding or when sitting about on the ground; and the Arab things, which I had learned to manage before the war, were cleaner and more decent in the desert."

Also, the below quote is from the introduction, which I might add is perhaps the most beautiful introduction I've ever read. I sometimes go back just to read it:

"In my case, the effort for these years to live in the dress of Arabs, and to imitate their mental foundation, quitted me of my English self, and let me look at the West and its conventions with new eyes: they destroyed it all for me, At the same time I could not sincerely take on the Arab skin: it was an affectation only. Easily was a man made an infidel, but hardly might he be converted to another faith. I had dropped one form and not taken on the other, and was become like Mohammed’s coffin in our legend, with a resultant feeling of intense loneliness in life, and a contempt, not for other men, but for all they do."
Just had a family member die after many years of descent into dementia. Absolutely don't want that for myself and would love the ejector seat as an option. Unfortunately the US is on an intellectual backslide, so hopefully in a few decades when I may also be susceptible something has changed and I will be allowed to do what I want with my own body and life.
Fuck that guy too, nobody minds him going down if there's evidence. Do you think that fixes Trump's gross behavior and history?

I launched OneCV.ai back in November 2024, and at first, it felt like I was on to something. Early traction was solid—until everything went quiet. Radio silence. It’s that lonely phase every founder dreads: second-guessing your product, unsure if anyone cares.

Then, out of nowhere, I got an email from Sufiyan— who discovered my post on X. He didn’t just say “nice app”; he sent bullet points of detailed feedback. His biggest suggestion? Build an ATS resume scoring tool. We hacked together a prototype in a weekend, shipped it, and now it’s our most-used feature.

Sufiyan isn’t a VC or a “startup guru.” He’s someone who genuinely needed what we were building—and that’s the real kicker. Sometimes the best insights come from the folks in the trenches, not the mentors or investors. Startups are unpredictable, but if you keep sharing your work, you never know who might drop by with the feedback you didn’t even realize you needed.

Not really.

In the last couple of years the German automakers completely missed the trend towards EVs had only had a laughable product palette. This also causes them to close a lot of factories in Europe, and that is still happening right now.

But you have to keep in mind that the market for EVs is growing. So, once Tesla closes their factory, Volkswagen & Co will be more than happy to hire those workers.

And of course, with arson attacks on Tesla stuff becoming common over here, the factory might go up in flames soon, anyway.
> European courts could, Latin American as well, possibly Asian for the international markets

Musk is a de facto head of state (alongside Trump). All but the most independent courts would be under massive political pressure to yield to him. (At least so long as he’s in Trump’s good graces.)
Everyone is 'for peace' but none of them will say what they will give up for peace. Trump and the peace crowd need to be honest.
I would be more interested in matching up timing/latency, especially with the OBS processing in the middle.
Isn't Zelensky always ready to negotiate peace? The problem is that Russia isn't. Not without so many strings attached that Ukraine actually finds it more advantageous to continue fighting.

I once had a lead programmer (who was a great one) who insisted that a manager should not have access to the source code of our project. I have often worked with engineers who were nervous about who could check in code so I kind of understood. And this really was a great lead, technically strong and a good leader so I said, fine no code access for me.

It was a terrible mistake for me. So much of my value as a manager was being understand what the engineers were doing. I am not a great programmer but I can do it, and I could usually understand what an engineer was trying to do from looking at their check ins rather than listening to them in stand ups. I was just not that useful. There were times when the team was doing things that I knew I had seen done before with much better before with different methods, but just talking about it was relatively ineffectual.

Not ignorant at all! This is our favorite question.
MCP is taking a stateful approach, where every client maintains a 1:1 connection with a server. This means that for each user/client connected to your platform, you'd need a dedicated MCP server. We're used to writing software that interfaces with APIs, as stateless and deployment agnostic. agents.json keeps it that way.

For example, you can write an web-based chatbot that uses agents.json to interface with APIs. To do the same with MCP, you'd spin up a separate lambda MCP or process MCP server for each user.
If the hardware can't run at full power, cooling and power consumption are out of balance. What's the point of building such hardware?
Maps of Content: Effortless organization for notes (2023)
But surely this process you outline implies that the PFAS already there was deposited in the (distant) past and is no longer being deposited in any substantial quantity, otherwise the problem will just reoccur (build up over time)?

Meanwhile most indicators I've seen imply that PFAS contamination is -in some ways- getting worse, and is not only from historical sources.

Also, earthworms will mix up deeper and more shallow layers of earth and plant roots will extract PFAS from deeper layers and deposit them on or near the surface when the plants leaf matter dies off (in fact I know of several types of plants including hemp being successfully used for this exact purpose).

I'd love to find definitive proof that PFAS can be remediated on a hobby garden scale (in one's own backyard) but I'm skeptical of the success rate and longevity of the endeavor...
But that doesn't look like remission, you still need insulin...? Better control after long fast is expected (using insulin). Have you done c-peptide or antibody tests?

On Ukraine's terms, Russia just has to give up its dreams of conquering Ukraine.

On Russia's terms, Ukraine has to give up its existence as an independent country, half its people and most things of value within the country.

Either way, Russia won't get its non-US overseas frozen assets back.
For February probably not, they might have cared less about the "Heil Musk" stuff than we in Europe did. I guess for March Canada however might make it to the top 5...

Anecdote: This is also how you end up with the "Peter principle", unfortunately.
You are confused. Look at Taiwan's present, not its long gone past. As I mentioned in another thread, during my last trip to Taiwan, I revisited the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, which features a museum where Chiang Kai-shek's life and rule are documented. The errors and brutality of his rule in particular are well-documented and preserved, officially accessible to all citizens and visitors. This is a wonderful example of transparency. You won't find anything like this in mainland China.
Ask HN: FOSS Firebase/Supabase alternatives to try?
I'm building a project in Supabase right now and I'm strongly considering switching.

One big issue I ran into is they suggest using hCaptcha to prevent abuse of anonymous user sign ups. The problem here is there isn't really a clear way to integrate this with a game engine, for example if I want to develop a unity client for my game later, I'd have to open up a web view inside of unity or something. Ideally I would just like to enable hCaptcha when registering new users, but there's no way to configure this with Supabase.

Firebase apparently doesn't care, and while it's great, it's closed source which doesn't make too much sense for an open source game.

I need a FOSS solution if possible.
The nice!nano gets the job done but it's really expensive for what's ultimately just an nRF52 dev board in the ubiquitous Pro Micro form factor. They're $25 a pop and you need two for a split board, while you can get generic nRF52 Pro Micros on AliExpress for about $3.50 each.

It's the same story with RP2040 Pro Micros for wired QMK builds, there's a huge "keyboard tax" if you get the ones marketed for that purpose.

">60% of Americans own stock" does not tell the whole story.

First, how many Americans only own stock as part of their 401(k) or IRA and can't liquidate it without affecting their retirement?

Second, how many Americans own stock portfolios with sufficient value that they could liquidate them and purchase a house for cash, as the initial response implied? I guarantee you it's less than 60%.
Mozilla's move synergizes with the surveillance security state that the previous admins were trying to fortify here. I understand Mozilla Corporation has to sell out to continue receiving funding, I just choose not to participate. Everything dies.
Criticism:
- Non-standard layout
- Where's the arrow keys block? Insert/delete/home/end/pgup/pgdown block?
- Non-staggered keys makes it hard to type due to mistyping on the wrong row

Questions:
- Do you have nkey rollover?
- Would you accept "optional" wires? Note: gaming requires fast response times. Hell even programming/writing sucks when there's key lag.
Ah, yeah, I already wondered why these guys were suddenly back... The tell-tale sign here is admission scam emails from name-alike-domains for (mostly) Indian and (some) US colleges (with the payload being, mostly, crypto harvesters), but these are pretty noisy due to being pretty similar to earlier attempts...
Also, I'm just fundamentally skeptical you can do a good job of running a team, or hiring, when you don't know how to do the thing the team does. Software development skill requires active use/work to maintain it.
I have noticed this as well, and if you're interviewing at a startup, it's almost guaranteed to be a highly technical position. Either a hybrid EM/Tech Lead role or a hybrid EM/architect role.
The part of my brain that never stopped playing Tetris notices that if you had striped the color variations left to right instead of top to bottom you’d have a more uniform color variation. And if you’s put half the dark and half the light on each side then the gradient would look more purposeful.

But you also probably should have printed 2x as many keys and split them up for making two copies.
I've specifically said leaking memory? Then again, destructor that didn't run would be an application level error not "safety in rust" error.

- Competitive iOS Step-Tracking Game (~15K DAU)
- Developer Experience Platform
- Live Streaming Social Media App (~1K DAU)
- Backend Scaling & Cost Optimization
- User Growth & Retention Systems
I find the type system in Nim to be pretty poor. It's difficult to reason about what is on the stack vs heap by looking at the business logic and not the types themselves, and also hard to reason about when you do copies vs pointers, since everything is defined on the type itself. I find it to be a bad design decision, I wouldn't build anything large with it.
I don't understand the "give it [the task?] to someone who does" part. Obtaining a hobbyist composer who is available at short notice and obeys instructions for free is not usually an option. Maybe there's a website for this, but it would have to be humming with idle composers in order to offer quick and satisfactory results.

I think "stop not enjoying it" is a better line to take. Like with AI illustrations (where I'd much rather see a blog author's crappy biro drawings instead), terrible amateur efforts with some online 808 emulator or whatever would be more entertaining and interesting than AI output.
This does help, thank you.

I agree, there is a big mindset shift needed to make peace with our body not being entirely under our control. To me, that mindset change is a big part of what it feels like to not be young.

If think of a lifespan as an arc, it's something like:

1. In early childhood, you are gradually mastering the physicality of your body. Learning to control elimination, getting more coordinated, learning physical skills, etc. I think of it like learning to control a sailboat, harness the wind, operate the sails, etc.

2. When you hit young adulthood, you're at a sort of peak where your body can be an abstraction. You can do what you want in the world without having to worry too much about your body getting in the way. At this point, you are a skilled sailor on the open ocean.

3. Then as you get older and/or unlucky, things outside of your control happen to your body in ways that materially limit your own agency. You may want to do X, but your body means that's off the table. You can still do Y. Now you are navigating shoals. You can still control the sailboat, but there are rocks there and you must navigate around them whether you want to or not. Some places simply can't be reached anymore.

4. I'm not there yet, but assume that as we age, the number of rocks increases and we increasingly focus our attention on the sailing we've already done in the past and make peace with our limited journeys going forward.

That first time you crash into a rock and move from 2 to 3 is hard.
This is overly cynical. They sound like good kids. I don't know why it's so hard for people to imagine that not everyone's feed is smut. I've learned a ton from TikTok.
CCP/PRC =! "China". It's a dynasty of China, one of many. Americans aren't generally familiar with the concept of dynasties, but the Europeans would be. When I was in France some years ago, I was told that France went through 2 kingdom phases and 5 republics in it's history, with the current iteration being the 5th Republic of France. The 5th Republic never owned a colony in what's now the US, but some previous iteration of "France" did, until they sold it to the US in the famous "Louisiana purchase". Thus, it is correct to say that "France" used to owned parts of what's now the US. Likewise, it is correct to say that "China" used to own Taiwan", even though the PRC/CCP never did.

Most MSM stories on Taiwan take pains to point out the PRC/CCP have never controlled Taiwan. That is technically correct but intentionally misleading, counting on the (mostly American) readers to not understand the difference between a government/dynasty/regime of a country and the country itself, which has histories extending back beyond the founding of its current regime.

The current demand of China to Taiwan, is that Taiwan must continue to claim itself as a rival regime to the PRC vying to control, and represent, all of China. What will trigger war is formal Taiwan "independence", defined as Taiwan rescinding claims on PRC territories and declaring itself a sovereign country independent from not just the PRC, but the ROC (Republic of China) or any other concept of "China" altogether
If you as a manager have the time to do an in-depth code review like that... you're doing micromanagement and you're showing that you don't trust your subordinates. And clearly, you don't have anything more important to do.

Right. We've already negotiated peace in Ukraine, and the issue is that it is not respected by Ukraine's adversaries. "Strong leadership" means lasting peace.

Nobody is going to win a Nobel prize for being a puppet of the Russian Federation. With respect to the Budapest memorandum, this is organized harassment, not negotiations.

Was DOGE able to affect the Pentagon or three-lettered security agencies yet? I would assume anything defense-related is kept separate from civilian government structures and may not be as collapsible. Some may even have internal plans to defend against a take over from the top.
