I've been disconnected from them for a long time (necessary as they routinely tried to grift me). However, from my recollection, there was a whole scheme they used that started with getting "hurt" in a commercial space. They would then sue the business while simultaneously getting a crooked doctor to sign off on some new disability they "got" from the incident.

They could have actually sustained a decent lifestyle had they not routinely decided to drop large chunks of the settlement money at Vegas.

If the Wireguard server is run on VPS, the encryption is not end to end from the client in public internet to your home.

It’s encrypted from client to VPS, then from VPS to home. The VPS sees the traffic inside of tunnel. That’s the first problem.
Okay, that's true, I agree - marketing is the main driver of sales. But it should be more than just "being European". At least it should not cost significantly more than comparable imported equivalents.
Bear in mind that the person you're applying to is also not paid by the population. They said "former politician".
This isn’t fair to say.

Any platform that’s popular will have its share of undesirable users, out of the company’s control.

Discord has very good moderation in contrast to other platforms (Constant banwaves on illegal/shady servers, terminating accounts frequently, etc)
I've only ever lived in Switzerland and none of the other European countries. But I remember visiting France and Germany...things are so cheap there compared to Swiss! You could eat out and not pay 100CHF per person. I do have friends in other parts of Europe (e.g. NL, DE, DK, FR) and while they like our salaries, they don't really like our costs.

> If we could get that under control, there would be no competition economically.

I don't think America would be the same if it did, and I don't think Europeans are pining for "American success" even if you discount our broken healthcare system.

Of course ancient telephone wiring can carry 1 Gbps. The real question you always, always, always, need to be asking yourself is:

Over what distance?

Make that distance short enough, as has happened with FTTN, or FTTC deployments in a whole heap of places, you're basically building a network that's, and I'll keep this very brief, subpar.

Since you mentioned a UK context there, Openreach rolled out an upgrade that kept the last mile of copper but now just about a decade later they're rolling out Full fibre. Whatever argument copper had, it went out the window near enough a decade ago.

Another good example would be contracts of any kind. Imagine photographing a contract (like a car loan) and on the spot getting an AI to read it, understand it, forecast scenarious, highlight red flags, and do some comparison shopping for you.
Not our intention at all. Let me know what gave you that impression? We generally see the incentives of the owners we work with as very aligned with providing the best quality of care to their patients, and see our software as accelerating delivery of that care
Then I think you misunderstand. The ML system would know when you want things digested to you or not. Right now companies are assuming this and forcing LLM interaction. But when properly done, the system would know based on your behavior or explicit prompts what you want and provide the service. If you're staring at a paragraph intently and confused, it might start highlighting common phrases or parts of the text/picture that might be hard to grasp and based on your reaction to that, it might start describing things via audio,tool tips,side pane,etc.. In other words, if you don't like how and when you're interacting with the LLM ecosystem, then that is an immature and failing ecosystem, in my vision this would be a largely solved problems, like how we interact with keyboards,mouse and touchscreens today.
> Its also much harder to test for in standardized tests.

You could test it using interactive proof verifiers. This would also make it a lot easier to teach, since proof verifiers can handle even very complex mathematical proof via the repeated application of a mere handful of rules. (The rules are also surprisingly similar to the familiar "plug and chug" workflow of school-level math, only with different underlying objects - lemmas and theorems as opposed to variables and expressions.)
I agree but in your attempts to find nuance, you are missing the forest for the trees. Poverty doesn't mean you are lazy and unwilling to work and rich doesn't mean you are a genius leader who everyone should look to emulate but it is those two beliefs that underpin most of the political problems in America.

Someone years ago “foisted” Trac on us. This is before CI/CD had reached the status of a default behavior.

I thought it was going to be a shitshow but it turned out to hit the Pareto Front for project management, especially if you were doing Kanban. It’s one of the first tools that auto-linked between wiki, tickets, commits and commit messages. You could put ticket numbers and Wikiwords into your commit messages and it just worked.

I’m trying to design a Trac but with CI now, but I’m working on a personal time management app instead, because I don’t build panipticons, so those features need to live where management cannot see.
> Do you plan to enslave the people who would provide this education? Do you not subscribe to the saying "You get what you pay for?". Public education through High School (in the US) has been free for many generations.

Do you believe that the people who provide public education through High School are enslaved? If yes, how? If not, why do you assume providing free public college education requires enslavement?

> Public education through High School (in the US) has been free for many generations. Ever wonder what would happen if you make the next 4 years "free"?

No need to wonder. Tuition for bachelor's degrees is free in multiple countries, for instance Germany, Finland, Sweden, Scotland and Norway. What happened there?
Do you have any other logic puzzles you could use to see if the performance generalises?
I don't think I should be paying for others to study simply because they prefer a different modality of learning, especially when it has been found that learning modality selection has nearly zero impact on actual learning outcomes.

Now, if this was structured as a negative tax system, where eg everyone after graduating high school starts with -$10k in taxable income for a handful of years, perhaps that could avoid punishing those that choose to self-study.
Yup definitely, and this is exactly why I built my startup. I've heard this a bunch across startups & large enterprises that we work with. 100% automation is an impossible target, because even humans are not 100% perfect. So how we can expect LLMs to be?

But that doesn't mean you have to abandon the effort. You can still definitely achieve production-grade accuracy! It just requires having the right tooling in place, which reduces the upfront tuning cost. We typically see folks get there on the order of days or 1-2 weeks (it doesn't necessarily need to take months).
Those four parts sound like one unified, cognitive algorithm -- having an ontology of the problem by breaking it into subgoals; checking your work properly; thinking backwards to debug a mistake and retrying; and thinking ahead and reasoning backward from the end result. It's all just one algorithm for solving hard problems. A skill that can be practiced, and then it builds on itself.
I still use SCSS just for the comment syntax. It cost me nothing to use in Svelte.

Being able to easily do multi-line and nested comments when working on a design saves a non-zero amount of time and brain cycles.

HTML and CSS comments are the absolute worst.
One of the most fun experiences I have ever had in a car was traveling from Tokyo to the Friday night Daikoku car meetup in a GT-R Skyline. It was legit like being in a scene from Fast and the Furious, multiple GT-Rs cruising through traffic, girlfriends hanging out the windows filming with phones. Fire shooting out of exhaust pipes, it was unforgettable.
Indeed, you are right. The title is clickbait. I'll edit.
On https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms..., they give an example of an overly broad definition of "selling" from California:

> "selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available,
transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic
or other means, a consumer’s personal information by [a] business to another
business or a third party” in exchange for “monetary” or “other valuable
consideration."

I read that definition, and think to myself... "transferring" ... yeah, a web browser definitely has to transfer data ... "to a third party" ... yeah, web browsers have to send that data to web servers owned by other people. Silly California! That's not selling!

Oh wait, there's more. ... "in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration". ... oh. Yeah. I would call that selling too. How is that a broad definition? Rather than broad, I would call it comprehensive.

So Mozilla has had to stop saying they are not selling your data because... they are actually selling your data. Or else they have plans to do so.

A DCT is superior in almost every situation except for when you just want to push a clutch in yourself. For a car that is primarily a toy, “fun” is a good enough reason to not consider a DCT.

Mistral is Europe based where invoices are more or less sent digitally in like 95% of all the cases anyway. Some are even digital invoices, which will at some point in the eu be mandatory. For orders there are proposals for that, too. And basically invoice data extraction is a different beast.
They said "former politician", though. Also, this is a form of surveillance - I think most people on HN would be against that as well.

Show HN: Mac App to understand PRs better for doing better Code Review
Been working on a desktop app for Mac that helps developers comprehend a PR better with high-level walkthrough.(https://updates.priyank.ch/projects/2025/03/05/prototype-cod...)

I find that context switching between PRs is hard due to the mental model I must develop for each PR. I usually find it helpful when the author sits with me and does a high-level walkthrough.

With the tool, you can load a specific diff or a diff against the main branch, and then the tool will generate a PR walkthrough.

Currently, the tool does the following:
- walks through key areas of a PR with a high-level explanation. Opens code and overlays sticky-note-style annotations.
- explains the code architecture with a structured mermaid diagram
- highlights areas the reviewer should look at closely

Looking for critical feedback. Thanks for trying it out!

Cheers, - Priyank & Arthur

Is it hard? What's the difficulty with just having assessments be done in a controlled invigilated exam room?

I don't quite understand why higher education is acting like this is an impossible problem to solve when high schools manage to stop 13 year olds using phones and calculators just fine by virtue of having teachers watch them as they write their answers.
IMO, you should have different channels of communication: A wiki which has commonly requested information; A manual for references; A bug tracker for issues. I strongly believe that IM should be reserved for active contributors. Forums should mainly be user to user help and support.

I know my example is very contrived, I wasn’t trying very hard, just went with the first thing that came to mind.

> LLMs are much more versatile and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. Yet, at the same time, their capabilities are ill defined.

That’s my point, I want to skip to the part where we know what LLMs are good for, what they are bad for, and just consider them another tool at our disposal. We’re still in the phase of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, and it is exhausting more often than not.
I'm not sure it is. It looks pretty reasonable. I'm not sure about what your whole outrage is. You are a paying customer, so they have to send you an email before they do the public announcement?

Excellent and accurate q. You sound like the first person I've talked to who might appreciate full exposition here, apologies if this is too much info. TL;DR is you're def not missing anything, and we're just beginning to turn a corner and see some rays of light of hope, where it's a genuine substitute for remote models in consumer applications.

#1) I put a lot of effort into this and, quite frankly, it paid off absolutely 0 until recently.

#2) The "this" in "I put a lot of effort into this", means, I left Google 1.5 years ago and have been quietly building an app that is LLM-agnostic in service of coalescing a lot of nextgen thinking re: computing I saw that's A) now possible due to LLMs B) was shitcanned in 2020, because Android won politically, because all that next-gen thinking seemed impossible given it required a step change in AI capabilities.

This app is Telosnex (telosnex.com).

I have a couple stringent requirements I enforce on myself, it has to run on every platform, and it has to support local LLMs just as well as paid ones.

I see that as essential for avoiding continued algorithmic capture of the means of info distribution, and believe on a long enough timeline, all the rushed hacking people have done to llama.cpp to get model after model supported will give away to UX improvements.

You are completely, utterly, correct to note that the local models on device are, in my words, useless toys, at best. In practice, they kill your battery and barely work.

However, things did pay off recently. How?

#1) llama.cpp landed a significant opus of a PR by @ochafik that normalized tool handling across models, as well as implemented what the models need individually for formatting

#2) Phi-4 mini came out. Long story, but tl;dr: till now there's been various gaping flaws with each Phi release. This one looked absent of any issues. So I hack support for its tool vagaries on top of what @ochafik landed, and all of a sudden I'm seeing the first local model sub-Mixtral 8x7B that's reliably handling RAG flows (i.e. generate search query, then, accept 2K tokens of parsed web pages and answer a q following directions I give you) and tool calls (i.e. generate search query, or file operations like here: https://x.com/jpohhhh/status/1897717300330926109)
Revealing my ignorance here, but was (is?) there a telephone equivalent of anycast such that, say, the 1-800-... Or 1-900... numbers would be routed differently based on location? My basic knowledge of phone systems suggests it would at least be possible.
Founder of ilert.com here.

For months, we’ve heard from customers jumping ship to ilert, citing Opsgenie’s stagnation as Atlassian folded its features into Jira Service Management (JSM). JSM’s a beefy ITSM platform - great if you need the extras, overkill if you just want real-time incident response.

Now there’s Compass: a dev-centric service catalog with basic alerting, on-call, and real-time notifications. Replacement or sidekick? Compass is a standalone Opsgenie successor for devs, yet it complements JSM’s broader IT support scope. Together, they tag-team the incident game, but neither fully mirrors Opsgenie’s features.

ilert’s the alternative: a German-built incident response tool covering alerting, on-call, status pages, and call routing—tightly focused.

Thoughts? Any existing customers following one of the migration paths suggested by Atlassian?
I'm experiencing the same. Maybe the sentence "Mistral OCR capabilities are free to try on le Chat." was a hallucination.

Dollar signs go before the number, not after it like units. It needs to be 1000 pages/$1 to make sense, whereas 10km and 10h and 10/h all make sense so 10km/h does. I imagine you would be confused by km/h 10 but not $10.

I'm not American, but curious how many people use FB marketplace there? It's a joke here, people still prefer to use the local equivalent of Craigslist. There's plenty of other startups that are more useful. Our housing WhatsApp has a marketplace channel too which works very well; often it's just easier to buy something from someone right behind the house.

Generally, most pro-social-security people say that all of those are not necessary, not just some.

However, take a look at your first item. How are these immigrants going to pay into social-security exactly, when there isn't a large jobs base to be had? Part of the de-industrialization that the United States underwent was predicated on the notion that if our population was going to shrink anyway, we didn't need that. Now with all those jobs gone and famously "never coming back", bringing in more immigrants to short up a defunct pyramid scheme seems sort of silly.

And as for your second item, where you say "just pay more in" doesn't much jibe with "means tested distribution" where if the government deems you too rich to need it, you don't get it. It really is just welfare at that point, and not a mandatory retirement program we'll all enrolled in. No one has time for that nonsense. Do you have any faith that when the next Trump is in office (which surely will be the case in a few decades, if not much sooner), that you will make the cut for "means tested distributions"? How is that any different than just cutting social security from everyone, if it were to become policy?
Businesses at scale use EDI to handle purchase orders and invoices, no OCR needed.
You are, who you work for.
Break a leg and Good luck!
That's a great upper-bound estimator ;)

But kidding aside - I'm not sure people want this being supported by web standards. We could be a huge step closer to that future had we decided to actually take RDF/Dublin Core/Microdata seriously. (LLMs perform a lot better with well-annotated data)

The unanimous verdict across web publishers was "looks like a lot of work, let's not". That is, ultimately, why we need to jump through all the OCR hoops. Not only did the world not annotate the data, it then proceeded to remove as many traces of machine readability as possible.

So, the likely gating factor is probably not Apple & Safari & "HTML6" (shudder!)

If I venture my best bet what's preventing polished integration: It's really hard to do via foundational models only, and the number of people who want to have deep & well-informed conversations via a polished app enough that they're willing to pay for an app that does that is low enough that it's not the hot VC space. (Yet?)

Crystal ball: Some OSS project will probably get within spitting distance of something really useful, but also probably flub the UX. Somebody else will take up these ideas while it's hot and polish it in a startup. So, 18-36 months for an integrated experience from here?
Good point. Another hypothesis is that individual advertisers aren't using that data.

Back in the day, I had a front-row-seat to this process and I observed how often advertisers simply misconfigure a campaign and under-target it. If you don't set a targeting preference for a given indicator, the default can be to target everyone regardless of what that indicator says about them.

It might be the case that advertisers are saying they want to target you anyway (or failing to say one way or the other) even though they should have enough signal to know it's a wasted impression.
