> If you have a revolutionary intelligence product, why is it not working for me?

Is programming itself revolutionary? Yes. Does it work for most people? I don't even know how to parse that question, most people aren't programmers and need to spend a lot of effort to be able to harness a tool like programming. Especially in the early days of software dev, when programming was much harder.

Your position of "I'll only trust things I see with my own eyes" is not a very good one, IMO. I mean, for sure the internet is full of hype and tricksters, but your comment yesterday was on a Tweet by Steve Yegge, a famous and influential software developer and software blogger, who some of us have been reading for twenty years and has taught us tons.

He's not a trickster, not a fraud, and if he says "this technology is actually useful for me, in practice" then I believe he has definitely found an actual use of the technology. Whether I can find a similar use for that technology is a question - it's not always immediate. He might be working in a different field, with different constraints, etc. But most likely, he's just doing something he's learned how to do and I don't, meaning I want to learn it.
Exactly what I was thinking. With population not slowing down anytime soon, what are the next steps?
It sort of requires payment... I (am still) trying to sell a cycle on it...The leads I got didn't materialize (only three-four interested, apart from that two scammers). This is out of thousands of views, and good quality pictures and my cycle is in great shape for being about three years old with only minor paintwork scratches. FB was asking for money to boost the ad for it to even have a chance of being sold.

I got a better result on OLX, though it remains unsold.

> The alternative is the silly measures of "poverty" we use in the first world which are mathematically unachievable by design so they can always be used to justify measures politicians want to pass: "won't you think of the child poverty you heartless monster" etc.

No, I disagree. The alternative, as the original comment said, is to measure access to calories, nutrition, or other metrics like prevalence of starvation, access to shelter, access to sanitation, prevalence of certain health issues, etc.

Measuring poverty via the international poverty line has often been criticized [1][2][3].

Yeah my view is a little trite but... "we cleaned the air and closed the ozone hole and reduced our dependency on oil from a small number of OPEC countries all for nothing?".

I support the climate change mitigation and adaptation moves that would be nice anyway (many of the most important ones) and would prefer alternatives to things like turning all the arable land into pinus radiata plantations to generate ETS credits or voluntarily paying "climate fines" to shadowy international organisations if we don't hit certain "targets".
> In fact the whole British imperial project was largely glossed over. But lots of coverge of the Romans, Vikings, Normans, the black death and the two World Wars.

I feel that this is a major source of why Britain (and Europe to a larger extent) is unable to come to terms with reality on a majority of issues today - immigration, foreign policy, economic policy etc. They simply have not come to terms with the loss of their empires and the wealth they brought. So they choose to not teach it. This leads British institutions today to have a serious colonial hangover whether they know it or not. The operating paradigm is still an outdated one in many cases.

They teach students what they think made Britain great -- the Romans, the Norman invasion, the World Wars, Churchill etc. -- while actually glossing over what made them great: Empire. It really brings to mind a line from the Thor: Ragnarok movie - "Proud to have it; ashamed of how they got it". The British people today might not have an idea of their Empire but the effects still linger on in their former colonies.

I’ll monetize it right now, any c-level exec can get their promo right here, right now, at Meta:

- Sell an AI agent that sells and markets the item for the user on the marketplace, and manages the sale.

- Then have people sell their fucking houses on it.

- Tell Zuckerberg what you have achieved

- Have Zuckerberg express to Rogan on the show who will then express it to Elon on another show

- Watch Elon buy Zillow

- Live a life of riches, while Elon juggles Twitter, Zillow and the bankrupt car company.

There.
Yeah I'm using enough Mac-specific (Logic, Compressor, Sketch, ...) or otherwise proprietary software that it makes perfect sense. I'm lucky that this is already my platform of choice. And honestly it's been getting better (OrbStack!), and I don't even have to touch XCode too often :,)
What I preferred recently when buying a used car over Craigslist was that I was able to vet the seller more easily because this was their Facebook profile. Like many other people on the older side, their profile was completely public, and I was able to scroll through over a decade of pictures, education, family etc. This was a very useful check against scams and lies.
Objects regardless of what shape they take, are basically an evolution of modules that can be passed around as values, instead of having a single instance of them.

That is why they are here to stay, and even all mainstream FP and LP languages offer features that provide similar capabilities, even if they get other names for the same thing.

It is like saying an artifact is useless, only because it get named differently in English and Chinese.
Three significant figures for a somewhat rough measurement of poverty over a sample of a population as diverse as India should have one's BS alarms blaring.

These "LLMs cannot be AGI if they don't have a function to get today's date" remind me of laypeople reviewing phone cameras by seeing which camera's saturation they like more.

It's absurd, whether an LLM has access to a function isn't a property of the LLM itself, therefore it's irrelevant, but people use it because LLMs make them feel bad somehow and they'll clutch at any straw.

Uhh. What is all this for? My IP address can change. I just use a dynamic DNS client to update my DNS record using my registrar's API. It's been this way since, like, 2001? (Well, most registrars didn't have APIs back then, but there was dyndns).
This is a great reminder of a simple email trick! Using (EOM) in the subject line could save time, especially for teams dealing with tons of emails. But yeah, if people aren’t used to it, they might just get confused. Maybe it’s worth bringing back? Also, crazy to think 2005 was 20 years ago—time flies...
>The problem is that's basically not a thing for digital goods because dumping is selling below the marginal cost and the marginal cost for digital goods is zero.

Gmail is free, Docs is free, Maps is free, lots of google apps are free. This makes it very difficult few a new player to enter the market. This is predatory pricing.

I'm talking about English-natives, ESL, and Polish people, as my experience is limited to the languages I can read well enough to tell what's typo or careless writing (or autocorrect on the phone + not giving a frak).

Extrapolating from the Internet experience, however, I believe it's likely the whole world is plagued by gibberish. Stuff like, to use a recent real example, "hey i dont see your emails in orgs SENT AILFOX", which I was asked by the recipient to translate to real language, and which turned out to mean "Hey, so I am an impatient idiot and couldn't wait 15 seconds for our janky SaaS mail interface to load before shooting you a passive-aggressive message".

(Whenever I start thinking too many good thoughts about humanity and people in general, I get shown stuff like this to be reminded that niceness and good communication exist only in sci-fi shows.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "ghosting" in this context, but if you mean the situation where you ask more that one question in your message, and the recipient silently ignores all of them except the least important one, then yes, that's something I witnessed in both Polish and English from people from all around the world. I assume it generalizes too.

As for meandering sentences, that's a different subject to being careless and not giving a frak - but there's a reason summarization is one of the most popular uses of LLMs.
It's interesting that "external" entities like microbiota play a role in the host's lifelong development. But it's more interesting that this is interesting - life is emergent, whatever result we observe exists by accident and because it worked.

Our understanding of these phenomena rely on us building models and abstractions to assist in us managing the complexity of the minutiae. But as we've seen in this particular study, the minutiae matter and sometimes our own incomplete models can come to box our own thinking.

As the saying goes - all models are wrong, some are useful...
I like the new features you added. I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
You're in for a treat then. It's for a long ways to yet.
What's telling from their analytics is that this isn't just a knee-jerk reaction - the engagement metrics show people seriously evaluating options rather than panic-clicking (spending almost 3 minutes on the website).

I'm particularly curious which sectors are seeing the most interest - cloud services? Productivity tools? Communication platforms? That data could help prioritize where European companies should focus innovation efforts.
Ireland is full of resilient people who fought and bombed their way to their own freedom from the British. I think they will overtake the British economy before 2825
At least you are honest BTC is nothing more than gambling and used to upsell it to a greater fool. Meanwhile monero continues to be the actual P2P decentralised anonymous private currency btc pretends to be.

So i just need to jump through dozens of hoops that maybe kind of work or just use a superior currency that does it all much better provable by default for much higher threat model?
So where is the outrage and the protests?
Also the idea that people's votes don't count because they are in a "safe seat" is bananas. Of course it counts: they count it, and it goes towards the final result. It is like saying that the only purchase to really bankrupt you is the last one you made. No, of course not, it is the aggregate. The straw did not actually break the camel's back, and seven states do not decide the election. 271 electoral votes do! All 271+ of them.
Firefox translate uses an on device language model to do webpage translations.

A look at some of the creative ways companies try to dodge high tariffs
High speed trading in itself doesn't do any harm to individual investors, quite the contrary - spreads are much tighter, liquidity is there. I see it as not really harmful, but also not socially useful at all.

One could argue that the real harm it does, is that since trading is cheaper, it encourages gambling.
I personally don't care much about cosmetics. I mainly save articles for review and process tons of photos I take. I don't use a photos app because I don't want to lock my files in some database or a tree built on date. Holy WTF! Where are my photos? They used to be in a file system, and a separate branch for each camera.

I curse the Finder app hundreds of times a day. Three main gripes.

1. It never sizes windows right. Just fit all my damn columns so I don't have to horizontally scroll. A hack app called "cols" did this but stopped working. I am looking for the source.

2. When I drag a file over anything,the finder starts treating it as a drop event and puts up the beachball of death. Just wait until I get to where I'm going.

3. Search ALWAYS reverts from my working directory to the main disk. This is user-hostile.

These are not cutesy UI things. They have been aggravating for a very long time.

A Computer has always been a tool for me. A hammer or table saw that makes its own decisions is not a tool. It's outsourcing to an agent that writes its own spec's by mind reading. If I want a friend, I'll find a friend. And have a beer with them.

It’s a Golang project, one of the big selling points of Go is the ability to easily produce static binaries which are easily distributed. It’s trivial to setup basic GitHub actions and build and publish a release containing binaries for all platforms.
Does Russian count as ‘European’ alternative?

The Russian web shows an interesting alternate universe where western copyright is not a thing.

It’s already partially the case with a good fraction of servers in Ukraine gone.

It’s normal for detention in such scenarios to take months in both the US and Germany.

Since about 2001, it has been limited in the US to 180 days. In Germany, detention is reviewed every six months, and some people are granted exceptional leave to remain, but it is not capped.

Immigration offenses are much more severe than an administrative penalty for speeding. Largely, no one debates that.
I think this is mostly due to the more niche nature of the discussion. Many people play games, not too many people (or even devs) know about all the numerous Lisp-likes.

In relevant communities. I have seen A LOT of arguments in niche communities over what a Lisp should be like. It all started around the introduction of Scheme compilers. Some say a Lisp should have macros, others focus on lists/vectors/hashes, then there's dynamic execution vs compilation, let's not forget about dynamic vs lexical binding; and the big one - Lisp-1 or Lisp-2.

I work in a mid-tier tech company with 800 devs. Been here for years, know everyone. There are maybe 3 devs/admins who know what Racket is!
Oh, so that's where this came from.

From your link:

I learned it as a specific phrase from that show, and its use there is chills-inducing too.
On way to think about it, is that if Tesla crashes 90% from here, it would STILL be more valuable than GM or Ford.

Facebook's spin in the article was delusional as expected for a big tech business, but I'm surprised they let this little nugget of truth slip out, and somehow managed to not learn anything from the fact that a huge demographic engages _more_ with the part of the site that gets the least monetization focus.

Hi, I'm a senior Python developer with 10+ years of experience building and maintaining high-performance applications and APIs. Skilled in Python frameworks (Django, Flask, FastAPI), microservices architecture, and API integrations. Expertise in SQL and NoSQL databases, message queues, and cloud infrastructure. Proven ability to lead teams and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver scalable, robust solutions.
Some Swedish government agency websites and services do this, for the reason already mentioned, to avoid having to monitor the service or maintain it during out of business hours.

But this social media actually reminded me of old phone line BBS. I believe life was better when we had to wait for our enjoyment, and even stand in line for it.
Great idea, but it should be open 24/7 with eight 3-hour windows. One account can only use a single window during the 24-hour period. This will handle the timezone differences.
LLMs can interact with folks and respond to comments, which are the things on that list you should judge someone without a physical presence on.

This is just shifting your eggs from one basket into another. Yes, the current basket is on fire but we should assume any basket can be lit on fire just as easily.

I’d love to see somebody nail the UX of distributed compute in your home that you own. A box I can buy that is similar UX to managing a SaaS account after plugging it into my router, with automatic management, updates, encrypted backup across cloud providers, and an App Store for services I can install on this appliance that gives self-hosted apps a means to monetize. Then scale that foundation up to business needs and really profit.

These ideas have existed before but IMO nobody nailed the UX and most people didn’t believe we’d light our own basket on fire for fun back then, so the market wasn’t there.
What? Nobody is asking for the “downfall” of Russia. Just that Putin stops trying to rebuilt the USSR geographically and killing Ukrainians.

If war does break out and Russia or many countries including Russia is destroyed that’d be horrible.

There’s so much more to do in the world in 2025 so much more we could do as a species but as a species we seem hellbent on killing ourselves.
Isn't Discord a knock-off Slack but for gamers?

I'd definitely bucket Telegram and Discord together (one as IM, other as this... Slack-like thing, I really don't have a better name for this category) - in that both are ridiculously overstimulating, with stickers and animations, and shit constantly moving or notifying you or ... my brain can't handle prolonged exposure to either, it's just too much stimulation (and not of the useful kind).
Should I Build a SaaS or Focus on Getting a Dev Job?
I'm at a crossroads and could use some insights from the HN community.

I've been coding for a while and feel confident in my skills. Now, I’m debating between two paths:

Building a SaaS – I have a few ideas, and I love the idea of owning something long-term. But I know it can take a while to get traction, and there’s always a risk of failure.

Getting a Dev Job – A stable salary, experience, and networking opportunities seem valuable, especially if I want to level up my skills and save some money before going all-in on a startup.

For those who’ve been in a similar spot:

Did you regret going all-in on a SaaS too early?

Was working a dev job first helpful when you eventually started your own thing?

Any advice on balancing both at the same time?

Would love to hear your experiences.
I do not deny that the system need to change but I disagree with saying "we have no agency", I think that like everything in life it's a balance of the two and you definitively can, as an individual, decide to use less convenient options like waterfox or librewolf that respect your privacy and do not try to enforce propaganda (or ads) unto you.
And I think in this case, with one of the most powerful company in human history being the perpetrator, you can wait a long time for the system to change.
