I think you’re misattributing society’s preferences to something different (GDPR). People who were born around 1995 basically lived through haydays of Facebook, peak days of Twitter and etc. Frankly, it was a great experience. Those people grew up, and didn’t need to maintain phpbb, deal with extremely turf-protecting admins, and just got used to frictionless online communities.

I think, you should blame the continuously shortening attention spans of an average person. Nobody wants to wait for anything anymore, and current services (YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) are much better at giving dopamine hits, than dealing with small forums.

Saying this as a person who used to live in niche online communities, but I’m still on the younger side of things, so felt the shift in society in person as my friends got exposed to the larger internet.
Parallel texts work quite well without having read it before too if you keep the original next to you. I lifted by German up a whole grade my last year, largely by reading Goethe's Faust in parallel with a translation.

Having an easy version is a big boon, though, and I think LLMs now provide an amazing opportunity to create custom proper parallel texts (showing both) where you could adjust the difficulty level of the translation to suit your current skill level.
I've never heard the verb shivered used in that sort of context! I doubt anyone has deployed the phrase "shiver me timbers" outside of Holywood or perhaps Moby Dick.

A large wooden sailing vessel does make some odd noises in a big sea. When it crests a wave and the bow (pointy end) smacks down and the next 20+' wave looks rather large and you wish you were a better person ....

I could go on but you don't need lightning to shiver your timbers 8)
Yes. That's OP is true. Let me add some more things which are not used anywhere on the world.

- Bosch Automotive: Probably powers at least half of the cars one way or other in the US.

- Chrysler's MultiJet Diesel, actually invented twice by Fiat, and led to Fiat's absorption of Chrysler since they have failed their "usage" obligations.

- Siemens' industrial automation, probably powers half of the world's advanced PLC requirements.

- ASML: Building the machines almost everyone uses to create the ICs you're using to read this very comment.

- NXP Semiconductor: A spin-off of Philips of Netherlands.

- Wera: Purveyor of premium hand tools. Not made for heavy abuse, but used by companies like Apple (a small startup in US which has more money than a couple countries combined) in their factories and service centers as official tools supplier (Plus Japanese Camera Manufacturers Group use them to make JIS approved screwdrivers).

- Rolls Royce Aerospace: They just make puny airplane engines which most of the world uses.

- Airbus: Makes planes which doesn't have doors which disassemble mid-flight.

Dunno. This is what I came up in five minutes. They're irrelevant, indeed.
They lost me a year ago for forever. The OS is just too hostile, annoying and pushy. What was the last drop is Edge and that awful Home Page plus the news/widget things. I would not mind any of them but enabling by default is just not right.
It is incredible that how smoother the macOS experience is using a Macbook Pro M2 - it is not perfect at all, every OS have it's own annoyances but the OS is not working against me any more
That's pretty cool! I'll add Rootly to my list of options for our vendor evaluation.
The title is intellectually dishonest. Eutelsat is not in any way a rival to Starlink. They are not at all playing in the same league.

Starlink has over 7000 satellites. Eutelsat has several hundred they got from their purchase of OneWeb and isn't increasing them by much.

The reason why Eutelsat stock is increasing is because investors think that Europe is going to go nuts with "buy European" in the military space which would allow them to sell their services at inflated pricing as it's no longer a fair market between OneWeb and Starlink.

Ask HN: Cursor vs. Windsurf?
Do you use an AI IDE? Which one and why?

There’s a bunch of them at this point and it’s kinda hard to figure out one over another. Cursor and Windsurf seem like the leading players - curious what people like about one vs the other.
It took some engineering effort but from now on we're getting there through soft-skills.

I’m a happy Cursor user. Main reason is it just works great and was the first one I tried.
Yann LeCun's prediction was empirically refuted. He says that the longer LLMs run, the less accurate they get. OpenAI showed the opposite is true.
The point is that if you input, say, 00001, then you will have tested both 0000 and 0001.
Interesting! What results did you get with that?

Also, do you think this is what O3 is doing?

That tree format (using parentheses) is also known as Newick format >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newick_format

But you can also simply store the tree structure as a single array of ints (or longs) ... each node in the tree corresponds to a unique index position, and the value at that position is the index position of the node's parent (or it's own position if it's a top level node) ... good stuff.
Cost is very much relevant since money doesn't fall from the sky. Someone is still paying for it.

@lm28469 I'll edit and answer for you here instead of an additional reply: Falling from the ECB's printers is not free money from "the sky", it's money created by additional inflation, which is a tax on all of us, especially on the poor, which in turn leads to a lower standard of living, desperation and votes towards political extremism. How can people be this economically illiterate is beyond me. You can't complain people are voting right when you're making them poorer through your economic policies. For every action there is a reaction.
Yes but if you have the skills to do something like that, then you're probably aware that this is a new solution to a problem.
>It depends on what you buy but in general, the manufacturer's website will often cost more than Amazon. E.g. In the USA, Apple Watch 46mm GPS+Cellular is currently $429 on amazon.com but $529 on apple.com

This pretty much, I do not buy from Amazon because of the experience but because of price. Like you said very often Amazon is significantly cheaper than local stores here in Europe, like I was buying woodworking tools and I could get same tool, same manufacturer warranty for 20 percent less. Apple devices cost even more than official Apple store in my country because Apple does have a first party store, meanwhile Amazon has below MSRP prices always. The only downside is that they dont have customization options.
So Amazon Prime never really made sense here as it really didn't do anything for shipping, but you could watch the Fallout show. Amazon it self, the e-commerce site, is sadly determined to destroy itself.

Stuff isn't cheaper on Amazon, shipping is expensive as hell, delivery times is in weeks, not day, and the risk of getting scammed is up with about something like 800%. Much easier to just order from a local store, pay a little extra for the item, but less for shipping, and be sure that you get what you order.

Also Amazon search has been broke for a decade.
Diffusion LLMs are still residual networks. You can Google that, but it means that they don't generate the whole text at once. Every layer generates corrections to be made to the whole text at once.

Think of it like writing a text by forcing your teacher to write for you by entering in the assignment 100 times. You begin by generating completely inaccurate text, almost random, that leans perhaps a little bit towards the answer. Then you systematically begin to correct small parts of the text. The teacher that sees the text, and uses red the red pen to correct a bunch of things. Then the corrected text is copied onto a fresh page, and resubmitted to the teacher. And again. And again. And again. And again. 50 times. 100 times. That's how diffusion models work.

Technically, it adds your corrections to the text, but that's mathematical addition, not adding at the end. Also technically every layer is a teacher that's slightly different from the previous one. And and and ... but this is the basic principle. The big advantage is that this makes neural networks slowly lean towards the answer. First they decide to have 3 sections, one about X, Y and one about Z, then they decide on what sentences to put, then they start thinking about individual words, then they start worrying about things like grammar, and finally about spelling and pronouns and ...

So to answer your question: diffusion networks can at any time decide to send out a correction that effectively erases the text (in several ways). So they can always start over by just correcting everything all at once back to randomness.
> Makes you really wonder what's going on with their QA.

You are their QA!
If the code is either 0000 or 0001, then entering 00001 will open the door, as you just need the four digits in order.

That shows how you can do a shorter sequence by using overlaps.

Show HN: ConsultantBrain – AI assistant for management consulting workflows
Hi HN! As a consultant who faced friction in doing research and decks, I've built ConsultantBrain, a GenAI tool designed to automate repetitive consulting tasks (storylining, writing, design, etc.) to save management consultants valuable time. Was hugely inspired by CaseText for this.

Would love your honest feedback on the landing page, clarity of the value proposition, and if you're in consulting, whether this addresses real pain points you face. Thanks all :)

How we are different from AI wrappers, please challenge:
- Workflow
- Embedded in PPT
- Target 20% of tasks that take 80% of time
- Data
- Trained on firm / project-specific data
- Adaptable project-specific memory

If you go offline for a week, you can't receive transactions for a week.

Connect to a node that processes a million dollars worth of transactions per day, without securing the channel on the other side and congratulations you've invented a bank (albeit fractional reserve spending is more difficult).

Not that that's a terrible thing, I mean it's better than most banks: I've used it before as a means to transfer money from exchange to exchange: it's competitive and has low fees compared to SWIFT. But the problem is that if people rely on some centralized payment processor you will eventually get vendor lock-in.

You have that now with Coinbase commerce: before it was the case that they would just give you an address and you could pay with LTC or whatever, now they want you to download an app and link it with their system. That's the direction all this LN stuff is generally going.
I have been buying direct from manufacturers for a few years now.

Sure I don’t get it in 1 day. The common carriers are a hit or miss (FedEx straight up doesn’t deliver on weekends).

Sure, I may pay more. I’ll tank the cost if it’s a quality item.

Sure, shipping isn’t “free” and return shipping may have a cost. But as I have learned, free shipping and returns is usually built into the cost when most people may not use it.
They did... by voting... and are mostly happy with the new trajectory. Perhaps your perception is being manipulated into thinking there's something wrong with this new direction.

I'm disappointed, but not surprised. Seeing the American culture from Europe, it's obvious to me that "American freedom" is a meme. Not saying that Europe is perfect, but I'm happy to live on this side of the pond.
Yea, at enormous cost, and very slowly. Europe was also totally without any launch capacity for quite a while since Ariane 6 didn't work out great.
From my experience, it depends. Some European brands and some US brands build goods which you can leave for future generations.

US brands are more visible since they have not been affected by WWII too much, and Europeans had to rebuild things, but there are brands and tools which I enjoy using, and some of these tools are pass-downs.
Nitrogen is important, but you're misunderstanding the table you link to: unless you're composting saw dust, paper or pure bark, you're not going to need to add nitrogen to have a well-functioning compost.

> Don't pee on your plants. It can chemically burn some of them. Not to mention peeing on your lettuce is just gross.

Come on, I'm obviously not advising peeing on the leaves directly, but you shouldn't water the leaves directly either.

> My compost is for dealing with kitchen waste: veggie and fruit scraps, coffee grounds etc. It it so nitrogen rich that I need to add leaves to it regularly to keep the C/N ratio where it needs to be or it goes "sour".

And this is exactly why I say people obsess with C/N ratio too much when 90% of the issues people face is caused by a poor water/Oxygen ratio instead, compost “going sour” is almost always due lack of oxygen (which is very common when you put stuff that's very moist and you don't shuffle your compost often enough). Adding leaves is indeed a good solution to this problem, but as it's not carbon-related it can be solved by other means (just by oxygenating the compost).
Since there are _literally_ people who use, and have been using for a while, the word without the same exact meaning as we both agree on... well.

Having said that, I will join you in this fight.

Anyone has a copy of the video of the Amazon tech interview?

I dropped Amazon a long time ago when:
1) free two-day delivery no longer came in two days
2) I ended up with two counterfeit Vince shirts. They were honestly well-made but the fabric and some stitching was wrong.
3) when there was an eclipse (not the most recent one but the one where Trump was watching it without protection) some people were blinded by using counterfeit eye protection bought from Amazon

It’s safer to buy direct than going through Amazon.

shivered, ppl. a.

(ˈʃɪvəd)

[f. shiver v.1 + -ed1.]

Broken, shattered.

1542 Wyatt Poems, ‘The furious gun’, The furyous gonne‥cracketh in sonder: and in the ayer doeth rore the shevered peces.

1621 G. Sandys Ovid's Met. v. (1626) 90 And through his flesh the shiuered bones arise.

1764 Gray Welsh Fragm., Conan 8 As the thunder's fiery stroke, Glancing on the shiver'd oak.

1815 Scott Ld. of Isles iii. xii, Where Coolin stoops him to the west, They saw upon his shiver'd crest The sun's arising gleam.

1897 F. Thompson New Poems 221 Like shivered moonlight on long waters.

The 1621 quote is pretty gory and visceral, someone injured so badly their bones are internally shattered into shards and knives, now sticking out through the flesh.
I tried to figure out if the translation is correct (the concept of a "studio apartment" in English is not easy to express in Swedish, and "ateljé" is certainly not it).

I even found this [1] comment on Reddit, detailing the exact same concern. Perhaps worth looking into?

Keep in mind that state of the art term-rewriting systems perform very well on symbolic integration, e.g.: https://rulebasedintegration.org/
This is more in line with building a REPL for your own language.

Lisp environments are just that; environments. That is to say that there is a runtime that holds your code in memory, which then enables a REPL to replace parts of the code in memory while the program is running.

This implies an interpreted language (that might or might not also be compiled further at runtime), which Rust is not. It also heavily implies a garbage collector, which Rust doesn't have. Lastly, type guarantees in these languages tend to be less strong as the system almost by definition is already very dynamic.
Depending on the web server's configuration, you very much _can_ find the domain which is configured on an IP address, by attempting to connect to that IP address via HTTPS and seeing what certificate gets served. Here's an example:

https://138.68.161.203/

> Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for 138.68.161.203. The certificate is only valid for the following names: exhaust.lewiscollard.com, www.exhaust.lewiscollard.com
WSL is really great, and I loved the fact Microsoft moved towards being more developer friendly and bringing all great tools and utilities to the Modern Windows (10 and above).

But..... the predatory nature of Windows and the half-ass revisions done to the UI elements, with decades-old applications with the legacy UI that can still be accessed directly, makes Windows a mess. To add to this, The hold that Microsoft has on Windows is so nasty that it keeps overriding settings like default browsers and applications, to favor Microsoft-built apps like Edge, along with the heavy telemetry just leads this platform to be a mess.
It is not a clean system at all, and even sometimes pales in comparison to Linux Desktop, let alone OSX.

Unpopular opinion: How else should Ukraine pay for the military assistance it's receiving? That's not cheap. The US, NATO and EU taxpayers don't owe Ukraine anything for free since there's no contractual obligation to do so. Money doesn't just rain from the sky, the US and EU taxpayer are ultimately bankrolling this.

Sharing profits from your natural resources in exchange for military resources seems like a great deal to me. Nothing in life is ever free, someone is always paying for it, usually through taxes. If you think this logic is flawed, argument me why.

there is a presumption on your part, that control of the net, is absolute
revolutions of the past,have all included some control of the press
and we can see, everywhere, the frantic efforts to
control the net, and digital currency
the old axiom of "control the press and the mint, and they can have the rest" is now bieng put to the test, internaly and externaly.
the truth bieng that the level of control now possible, real realy realy, is cramping everybodys
style, and so the forms of protest and revolution
are evolving, and matching the wierdness, insanity for insanity, there IS absolute control , but there is no sure way to describe what exactly is bieng controlled, no revolutionary symbols,check
no calls to kill the leaders,check billions of worky workers, worky working, check, trillions of hours spent grinding out an entirely new and evolving memetic language of comunication in a vast never ending seathing quest for some meaning,
