Show HN: Type Korean iOS
I’ve been working on a couple of apps over the past few months, and I’d love to share them with you

Type Korean is all about helping people get used to typing on a Korean keyboard. When I first moved to South Korea in March last year. I ran into an issue with typing on the Korean keyboard, I was super slow, which can be annoying when trying to search for something in Korean.
This.

In many places of Europe, for example, the salary after taxes and mandatory employer contributions become between 30% and 40% of what the employer disburses. The employee is aware that his 20k raise will become more like 6k, and it's in many cases not worth the increase in responsibility, workload or inconvenience. So employee is more likely to seek fulfillment, economical or otherwise, by other means.

But this means that in a few years, people earning 80k per year will be working under the supervision of an AI earning 240k per year. In my sci-fi books, I was leaving that for the 2040s...
In my experience, that was destroyed under Bush Jr as Reagan-time shenanigans like buildup to Able Archer 83 just weren't widely known. The 1990s still had veneers of legitimate use of force, but the GWOT and especially Iraq quickly eroded that perception in public in my experience.

The new thing to me is the turn from "smiling psycho that will knife you in the back" into a form of unabashed revelry in dumb brute posturing

The general decline in paper copies of official documents is scary.

The recent Conservative UK government put in place the "hostile environment" policy (official name!) and expelled and denied rights to people who had lived here for years, and had the right to. People were asked for documents going back years.

If your government suddenly asked for your electronic payslips from a job 10 or 20 years ago, could you provide them? Does everyone print them out or store them in secure electronic storage?
Colors is not just a dialog! It's a standalone application opening in a new window which you can open just like all other applications on macOS and also remembers the last opened place.
AgentFence: The Open-Source Project Securing AI Agents
Professional management is a problem, but Roberts does not know why. Managers have to know more than the people they manage in order to inspect work product and enforce standards. Roberts does not want this. His approach is to substitute "merit" for seniority, but "merit" will be defined corruptly and standards will still not be enforced. His system will not earn anyone's respect or loyalty and its output will have no quality. No one will want to buy it, so close the borders so that they will have to buy it.

The QwQ one is a graft. (Whenever a new AI model is released, someone will register a related domain name, throw up a templated website and try to milk the hype.)

TypeThinkAI also looks like a graft, but at least they're honest about just being a wrapper around models produced by others?

I vouched for one of the AssistantEngine links because although the author did submit a bit too many links, the project might deserve a chance.

I also vouched for the arXiv paper.

hashnode.dev has been banned for a long time, probably because spammers use it a lot.
If your startup is selling to US government, sure, but otherwise I don't think there is much unreliability in selling SaaS, courses, or whatever gadget to US residents?
Any great power when they see a previously smaller player pull remotely even: "This is an attack! They're destabilizing the region!"
Yea kind of odd when the last post by which the submission about is from 2022 when it appears to be last active.

If there was some update, revelation, or even just being active.

I am seeing this person being referred as an "artist".

Thinking its a ploy for sales... they arent really selling anything i would consider valuable or sellable (eye of the beholder?).
They can allow you to 100% say whatever you want as long as the law allows them to host your speech. If they try to limit you beyond that, they are censoring you, which is what is occurring here.
It seems an advanced version of https://txt.fyi. The balance between simplicity and experience is great. I hope you can continue with the project
It doesn't really fix the underlying "didn't hire a qualified cryptographer" issue. By the time a third party scanning finds it in a released firmware millions of chips will already have been produced.

Plus it would only help with that one issue, not with the millions of other ways things can go wrong. Vendors publishing their security architecture so others can convince themselves that it is in fact secure would be better, it is how TLS or WPA get enough eyeballs.
I'll tell you who will be liable for AI's mistakes. The crickets. Yes, the crickets you hear every time this question is asked. We must punish the crickets severely and we will, trust me!
Need a predictive version of this that tags politicians in tweets expressing my stance on whatever is being debated, right before they use their phones on livestreams.
Very philosophical and completely empty. (Like almost everything in philosophy)
That's a good point, and I completely agree. It's not that I was seeking fame or attention, but rather I wanted to put out ideas and find like-minded people (in my case, saas founders/"indiehackers") to talk shop with. Even if it were just a couple people each time, that would be plenty, but I still felt that was beyond reach.

Even this HN reply thread alone is more engagement than I would normally get on social media ;). I'm not saying this to complain, I'm okay with it and it's just the nature of the internet with all its noise. But to get back on topic, I can totally see why people don't choose to maintain a blog as much anymore.
> there's no ads

This is a patently ignorant and ridiculous statement. They absolutely shove their own store garbage every release and upsell Nitro at every opportunity. Here's an article from last year about them explicitly introducing third party ads.

In the UK we regularly get small packages delivered by the postman which would otherwise need a trip by a delivery company.
Sounds to me like you're hanging out with the wrong people.
Can anyone with older Mac Studios/Minis comment - do you also notice a "throttling" of the hardware?

I'm not sure if this is me not maintaining it properly (e.g fans having dust block them) - but I've always got this sense that Apple throttles their older devices in some indirect ways. I experience it the most with iPhones - my old iPhone is pretty slow doing basic things despite nothing really changing on it (just the OS updating?)

So my only concern with this is - how many years until it's slow enough to annoy you into buying a new one?
Hardware-wise I have exactly zero complaints.

Software-wise it's much different to an expected behavior. For example, macOS won't let you in over SSH until you log in via Remote Desktop. You'll get "connection closed" immediately.

Or sometimes it will.

And that depends not on the count of connection attempts or anything you can do locally but rather on the boot process somehow. Sometimes it boots in a way that permits ssh, sometimes not. The same computer, the same OS.

Then after you login on screen sharing and log out, macOS will let you in over ssh. For a few days. And then again will force you to login via GUI. Or maybe not. I have no idea what makes it.

I have trouble reading macOS logs or understanding it. It spews a few log messages per second even idle. If you grep ssh these messages contain zero actionable data, like "unsuccessful attempt" or similar.

Another complaint is that launchd reports the same "I/O error" on absolutely all error situations, from syntax error in plist to corrupt binary. Makes development and debugging of launchagents very fun.
What a sad and anti-hacker mentality comment.
> They could have gone slower, and planned things out, but chose not to. And are doing exceptions based on who can talk to trump.

This administration is taking a gamble on a strategy of going as fast as they can to ram changes through before bureaucracy and red tape gets in the way.

I don't expect it to work, primarily because it hinges on a false hope that anyone can know exactly how such large changes will play out and avoid going down the wrong path.

It is an intentional strategy though, and to their credit its been made clear by countless administrations that meaningful change quite often gets roadblocked when you try to move slower and more carefully.
> What do people find upsetting about Discord?

These are the most common complaints I see from people

- They don't allow third party clients and some people have various complaints about theirs (e.g resource usage)

- Some people think discord is too popular, to the point some things that "don't belong there" have moved to discord. This is usually about being search indexable and requiring an account.

- Fear of monopolostic behaviour ( "enshittification" )

- Some people are mad that they killed public urls for files uploaded to discord. Mostly this is people running into links to images online and being unable to see them, usually not the uploaders

- Discord is centralized and you cannot host your own server

- The only client they allow you to use (See above) is propietary, and some people would rather run something open source

As for me personally, their search functionality drives me insane. I feel like the exact same query gets completely different results depending on the time of day and phase of the moon, making it super unreliable.
Yeah it exists. It's probably time-gated and karma-gated to avoid abuse.
I think there are flaws in this reasoning.

To reiterate my point from before incase there was misunderstanding:
Scale applies before computers. If it is matter of subjugation now it would also apply 200 years ago to designated bread makers in London, or to clerical errors involving iron shipments in the 1860s that resulted in ship crew deaths. Even if you see those as the same as now, the poster I was responding to seemed upset by the otherness of the machine made decision, the algorithmic identity, which is the topic of the post, hence me making a point of it.

Lets now consider your idea that scale makes things evil:

Would any level of scale of production or service beyond your nearest friends and family implicitly become evil? No service is 100% efficient. Mistakes resulting in a few cents increased costs on any mass produced goods result in millions of dollars of cost absorbed by consumers.
That isnt a statement of harm, it is just fact. But the alternative is no bread for most people. Its just a matter of practicality.

Is all bread that is not homemade evil to you?

Thirdly, companies often make corrections for minority error cases. This happens all the time in video games played by millions of people. They will patch out some bug that affected a small minority of players.

There is a limited amount of effort that can be put forth to solve problems. Ranking problems from largest to smallest is not an unreasonable policy. I just dont know what your criticisms would lead you to propose as practical alternatives. It seems pointless.
I still spend half the day at the library sometimes because I just love the library.

To say language models teach a person nothing is just completely absurd.

All learning materials really work in conjunction. The books I have read give me better questions to ask the models that lead to more books that lead to more questions.

Then layer on top of that the deep research models. It is just an incredible time for learning.
I believe that since these things have not ceased to exist once FB came up, we were never close.
Are you pretending that projecting power across the Atlantic was not something done by the US to protect its own interests? You think US kept bases in Europe out of goodness?

I am not sure if you are naive or just plain dumb.

To be frank, I love that the US decided to sacrifice its own power, forcing Europe to prop up its own defense industry instead of giving money to the US so it would strengthen itself first and foremost
And eventually, you end up with your own in-house Terraform.
>Then again, you did assume that this was done automatically.

If you see multiple [dead] stories that are minutes old by different users that have non-clickbait tech titles it is not unreasonable to think auto-moderation is a more likely explanation than someone manually killing every single post in near real-time by keeping a filter algorithm in their head and manually checking whether each expression in that algorithm is true or false.

>I don't find it hilarious.

If YC was asking for AI startup submissions but HN was auto-killing noobie AI submissions I would find that hilarious in a black comedy sense. Pity we don't share the same absurdist humor.
In the long term, most original physical media will degrade over a few decades. It's the ability to create new backups/copies and port media to new formats that beats everything.
Twitter threads are something that people have been doing since forever and it's crazy to me that the platform in all these years has not made it simpler to make them or easier to navigate them.

It's one of the few cases where a platform knows with absolute certainty that its userbase is expressing a certain behavior but they do nothing to encourage it.
I remember reading a similar story in Ireland on Reddit, where a guy started receiving newsletters and advertising texts that he only ate at once during the pandemic. Turns out the restaurant were using the contact details for Covid tracking for advertising purposes… diabolical stuff.

You are right, an object at supersonic speeds will create a sonic boom, but it can be mitigated by structuring the object in such a way that it shapes the sound wave(s) in such a way that they reduce the noise at ground level.

Lol! There are some parts that read like one:

In what way has the Belgian parlament participated in bringing about the surveillance ad-industry or the american tech oligarchy?

If anything European politicians have struggled against the surveillance monopolies and enforced more online privacy protection than any other leaders on the planet.
You can argue the effort hasn't been sufficiently successful and you're probably right about that.
Easy now, you're gambling with WW3!

Hell.. this escalated quickly..
On macOS probably I'd like chroot and pid/mount namespaces. I'd like to install OS and dependencies in a container and run my application from there so that it does not interfere with host OS. My app is GPU heavy and has lots of dependencies (OpenCV, LAPACK, armadillo, lots and lots) and I'd like to not pollute the host OS with it.

Also I want to run the latest OS with all security patches on the host while having a stable and known macOS version in a container given how developer-hostile Apple is.
> If your government suddenly asked for your electronic payslips from a job 10 or 20 years ago, could you provide them?

"electronic" isn't necessary for this question. Most people do not keep paper copies of their payslips going back 10 or 20 years either.
I think they might've meant "mean girls" energy... :)
> Though that ship has also sailed when it was decided that a model is “open source” ...

So we can't egg AMD just because they did something better in some cases and worse in others?

They released a model from end to end and shown that they can compete now. Who cares about the business applications. That can come later.

The other actors abuse the definition of Open Source, too. Not only in AI, even. So, we shall denounce others with the same force, but we don't, because of the broken window theorem.

AMD is already an underdog, so whatever they do has no merit, and worthy of booing. Do masses boo NVIDIA for their abuse of the ecosystem? Did Intel got the same treatment when they were choking everyone else unethically?

Of course not.. Because they are/were the incumbents. They had no broken windows.
I don’t advocate for using web target, Flutter is much nicer than whatever clusterfuck Apple and Google call native toolkits.

Fair enough. I suppose it is your decision to donate 1%.

But would you like your president to make that decision for you? Would it be okay with it you if they asked you to sacrifice like 60% of your pay towards this cause, that too indefinitely?
This predates Thiel. The wealthy elite want a return to the 19th century gilded age and spent the entire 20th century working at it. The Trump administration is the latest success in a continuous campaign of American internal self-destruction that dates back to the origins of modern "conservatism" with politicians like Goldwater and Nixon, with things really kicking off under Reagan.
Fun fact: this is quite likely illegal to do in the EU. If it should or should not be legal is a different question, but my understanding of present day law makes this not permissible.
Because they say so
I can reproduce this... but only to a limited extent.

If I search for "exposiciones" (Spanish, most common word for exhibitions) it will show mainly -but not exclusively- stuff in my city. But if I search for "exhibiciones" (Spanish, equally valid but not the most common word) almost no results will relate to my city. And if I search for "eventos" (Spanish, literally "events", wider meaning than exhibitions but also a more widely used term, I'd guess) none of it will relate to my city.

If I do the same searches directly on Bing, they are always related to my city.

So, my guess is Bing doesn't know about my location through DuckDuckGo, but DDG themselves may be processing Bing's results further depending on my search, which seems likely anyway.
I agree about the updates, but I'm in a shit ton of servers and performance is fine for me. Can you talk to the issues you've had a bit?
Geek cred
The problem is that with exception of single person projects it's not as simple as paying 99$.

Using individual developer account means exposing private information of one of the developers (which not everyone wants) and is a major buss factor.

Doing it properly with organization account means nontrivial amount of paper work to establish either a commercial company or an officially registered non profit. There are very few open source projects big enough for this.
As with all services, it comes down to "engagement".

If there's a single long post, people only argue under that post.

But if your long idea is split into 10-20 tweets, you can have a different argument under every tweet, and every tweet under that can again have another thread of arguments.

Resulting in: engagement.

Twitter is not, and has never been, a platform for discussion. It's either for shouting your stuff into the universe or arguing.
Tooling support is important to me - how well supported is it? Can I create a Firecracker VM the same way I create a QEMU one using virt-manager?
> If anyone with an account on any other gitlab instance could automatically do things on our gitlab instance

I think the idea is the exact opposite, no? People wouldn't be able to do anything on your forge. They would only initiate actions on their own server and then send you notifications of PR requests to the ActivityPub inbox of your repository, and spammers would have no incentive to do this because nothing would end up in public view.
For the first example, Microsoft might point a finger during a audit[1] but if the military had a license and just used a cracked version instead to bypass the activation prompt, I don't think they'd really make a fuss? If it turned out that they were only buying 50% of the licenses they should've been then sure, but if they were buying them and just not typing the license keys in, meh.

I seem to recall the network activation server for Windows let you activate unlimited clients on a key, although maybe I'm misremembering, or the person who configured it did something funny.

---

[1]: Does Microsoft even do first party license audits anymore? I'd imagine with so much of the licensing being a part of cloud spend that they don't care since you're already paying $20+ per month per head anyway for windows and office.
I'm trying to be flippant, but I'm genuinely curious. Have you read their license[1]? The terms are really broad and onerous even if one wants to use it for purely non-commercial, academic purposes.

>you cannot do so with steam, if they decide to remove that game

I am not aware of any case in which the game was removed from Steam and made unavailable to those who purchased it.

I have several games in my Steam library where they stopped offering for sale and I can still download and play.

I also have one game I can download but not play since the publisher took the backend servers offline. Steam is still hosting the installer.
"I mean if it wasn't the 21st century, they would be having a snooze or reading a newspaper or magazine probably"

Reading a newspaper in parliament? Have not seen that, it would clearly be seen as a sign of disrespect to the speaker, even more so than a mobile as it has a higher vissibility.

And dazing off was probably more productive and healthy, because I doubt, politicians are immune to addictive engagement feeds.
Meaning I don't think most of that smartphone use is actually productive.
> They’ll just fire the team responsible for maintaining the birds and then act surprised when they degrade.

AFAIK, the GPS system needs constant corrections, uploaded periodically from its ground base stations. Without these corrections, it will degrade very quickly (the satellites would still work fine, but their position estimate would no longer be good enough).
But I assume that is because of the people on that specific server, not because of the software? Or is there something about discord that enables it, that IRC etc. does not have?

I hang out with friends that predate discord, on discord and can't see it. Same with new servers.
While you're right that social media has well-designed UX/UI, it's optimized for engagement and addiction rather than well-being, much like smoking in the past, but targeting different organs.
