My grandparent used consider global bubbles as the norm, likely because his own parents never told him that local, company-limited bubble are actually the norm. Fortunately my own parents are more agreeable with how I manage my finances, and my whole family – including the 380-minutes old grand-grandparents – is still alive & well. We still see each other, despite the occasional confusion my use of the English plurals causes us (not to mention everyone's own ups & downs, and the weird reproductive mechanisms of our larger genus within the world).

I’m a Computer Science student at UBC with hands-on experience in full-stack development, web applications, and software engineering. Currently building accessible neurotechnology applications at UBC MINT and developing modern, user-friendly web platforms at the UBC Visual Cognition Lab. I'm actively seeking internship opportunities anytime, part-time or full-time, where I can contribute to impactful tech projects.
I wonder if it's correlated with cars.

We do know that walking rates, across the country, have fallen significantly. In 1969, approximately 50% of children walked or bicycled to school, with approximately 87% of children living within one mile of school walking or bicycling. Today, fewer than 15% of schoolchildren walk or bicycle to school. And we see this generally across the board, where for the most part driving to work alone dominates commute habits. If the only walking you do is from the door to the car, you are not getting much routine physical activity.

This would also actually well correlate with the rate of fast food consumption, since it's primarily car-centric, and is more car-centric than other types of eating out.

I also don't think it's really any sort of secret that fast food companies like return customers and engineer the types of food that become addictive. There is a book called the Dorito Effect which theorizes that not only has artificial food become more flavorful over time, but that our industrial scale food production has made the base products less flavorful in favor of prettier or hardier varietals.

For SpaceX, we can deduct the amount they saved which would have gone to NASA. For Tesla, we can look at foreign gov subsidies which went to foreign car companies like BYD, Toyota, etc... because it wouldn't make sense to target just Tesla... Given that governments of all nations play a key role in propping up their national auto companies.
What did he say about it after the fact?
Certainly dang believes Hacker News is a "swamp of amnesia".

dang is wrong.
In my country we used to use woolen matresses, which would be completely emptied and washed twice a year, and the wool would be dried in the sun for a good two days, then whipped with a long stick for couple hours, and then filled back in the washed cover again. Nowadays it's very rare unfortunately.
It was already stolen money. Stolen from the Russian people, by crooks who support a war criminal in his imperialist massacres (the people whose assets are being frozen weren't selected randomly). These oligarchs forfeited their wealth by supporting the aggressor and threatening the countries where they stashed their loot. There is a crystal-clear justification for locking these assets for the trillions Russia will have to pay in reparations.

That’s pretty weird but that’s also not what Elon did. I just re-watched his in case my memory was faulty, and no, it’s simply a Nazi salute, straight-up.
Check average life expectancies and come back to us with your findings.
No it's definitely wrong. TLS is not a presentation layer.

> QUIC is largely an optimization by collapsing many functions that OSI models as separate layers into one monolithic thing.

Yeah, or in other words, it doesn't follow the OSI model at all because the OSI model is a relic from the 70s that didn't catch on.
Yea. I used word "complete" because when your last and absolute pillar of justice is political you can't expect nothing else than them behaving like politicians.
bugger! More than two visitors to my web site and it falls apart, I might fork out the $10 for the better CPU and more memory option before I post something in future.
Mine was a really brief stay in there, but no, no TV pencil, books or anything except the austere space, a blanket and a couple very simple preheated meals a day.
Maybe if it’s a local Claude server?
100% agree with this, sometimes I feel I'm becoming too reliant on it - but I step back and see how much more ambitious of projects I take on, and finish quickly still, due to it.
How do you convert png to svg? Do the vectors make sense or are they illogical and therefore hard to work with?

I recently discovered that some of the Raspberry Pi models support the Linux Kernel's "Gadget Mode". This allows you to configure the Pi to appear as some type of device when plugged into a USB port, i.e. a Mass Storage/USB stick, Network Card, etc. Very nifty for turning a Pi Zero into various kinds of utilities.

When I realized this was possible, I wanted to set up a project that would allow me to use the Pi as a bridge from my document scanner (has the ability to scan to a USB port) to a SMB share on my network that acts as the ingest point to a Paperless-NGX instance.

Scanner -> USB "drive" > Some of my code running on the Pi > The SMB Share > Paperless.

I described my scenario in a reasonable degree of detail to Claude and asked it to write the code to glue all of this together. What it produced didn't work, but was close enough that I only needed to tweak a few things.

While none of this was particularly complex, it's a bit obscure, and would have easily taken a few days of tinkering the way I have for most of my life. Instead it took a few hours, and I finished a project.

I, too, have started to think differently about the projects I take on. Projects that were previously relegated to "I should do that some day when I actually have time to dive deeper" now feel a lot more realistic.

What will truly change the game for me is when it's reasonable to run GPT-4o level models locally.
Since no one has mentioned it yet, given the author felt like Japanese tea was providing a calming / anti-anxiety effect but with a much lower potential dose of Theanine....I wonder what would happen if he repeated the experiment with a sub-lingual dosing mechanism?

It seems like this would be closer to taking the tea in your mouth and savoring it over multiple sips across a few minutes, and could explain the smaller apparent dose having an effect (some of the Theanine goes straight into the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive tract).
I've seen it. So what. How will those drones get to the aircraft carrier? Their batteries only last a few minutes, and they barely move much faster than a carrier.
Yeah, so I'm a 'hacker' (MIT definition here). I've only taken a single class in javascript with Sun based workstations about 20 years ago now (god, I'm old). I hated it.

All my work now is in python and SQL now and though I've watched a lot of youtube videos and plunked at StackOverFlow for ~15 years, I've never had formal education in either language. Like, it takes me about as long to set up the libraries and dependancies in python as it does to write my code. My formal job titles have never had 'programmer' in them.

My code, as such, is just to get something done. Mostly this is hardware interfacing stuff, but a little software too. I've had my code get passed up the chain and incorporated into codebases, but that's only happened a handful of times. The vast majority of the code I write is never seen by others. My code hasn't had to be maintainable as I've never really had to maintain it for more than 5 years max. I've used git on projects before, but I don't really see the need these days. The largest program I've written is ~1M lines of code. Most code is about 100 lines long now. I almost always know what 'working' means, in that I know the output that I want to see (again, mostly working in hardware). I almost never run tests of the code.

I've had the same issues you have had with LLMs, where they get stuck and I have to try to restart the process. Usually this happens to me in about 20 back and forths. I'm mostly just pasting relevant code snippets and the errors back into the LLM for a while until things work for me. Again, I know what 'working' looks like from the start.

Typically, I'll start the session with an LLM by telling it the problem I have, what I want the code skeleton to look like, and then what I want the output to look like. Then it will give the psuedo code, then I walk it through each portion of the psuedo code. Then I get to errors and debugging. Usually about half of this is just libraries and versions in python. Then, I get to the errors of the code itself. I can typically find what line of code is causing the error just from the terminal outputs. I'll talk with the LLM about that line of code, trying to understand it from the error. Then, on to the next error. Repeat that process until I get the working output I desire. I'm never expecting the right code out of the first LLM interaction, but I am expecting (and seeing) that the time it takes to get to working code is faster.

The time it would usually take me to get through all this before LLMs was about 2 weeks of work (~80 hours) per project. Now it takes me about half a day (~4 hours), and it's getting faster.

I'm not in the camp of thinking that AI is going to take my job. I am in the camp of thinking that AI is going to finally let me burn down the list of things that we really need to do around here.

Thank you for the reply!

Honestly, after ~13y in this, I only know a handful of items from the famous latency table, notably those I've used a lot (mutexes cost 25ns, is only 1/4th of main memory reference tho, then disk seek is x100K of that). I'm "DevOps" (and titular variants thereof) in most of my resume.

That said, I'm not above your bar as each cloud provider have their own pricing model. I'm not even above your bar for AWS---which I've used the past six years---just for the sheer diversity of their offerings, not to mention regional variations. I know how EC2 servers are priced relative to each other but when we include ECS, DynamoDB, Lambda, etc., I'm gonna need a cheat sheet.
Anti-war can easily be maligned as pro-aggressor.
Which is why the federal reserve was ostensibly decoupled from politics and democratic election, and designed in secret on Jackyll island so the public would not poison it.

Unfortunately as you say if you try to time the market, or centrally plan interest, you generally get it wrong and end up even worse than a floating market.

It didn't take long before we saw the effects of the great depression.
If this looks like the "exact same thing" Elon Musk did, have your eyes checked. Seriously. I literally clicked the link, spent 5 seconds, and it's a totally different gesture...?
Show HN: The first legal AI API
Hey HN,
Over the past couple months, we, a team of Aussie legal and AI experts, have been working on building a new type of legal AI company — a company that, instead of trying to automate legal jobs, is trying to automate legal tasks.

We want to make lawyers’ lives easier, not replace them.

We’ve been laser-focused on building small and efficient yet still highly accurate, specialized models for some of the most time-consuming and mundane legal tasks lawyers have to perform. Stuff like running through a thousand contracts just to locate any clauses that would allow you to get out early.

We just finished training our first set of models, focused on document and clause classification, probably the most common problem we see come up. Our benchmarks show our models to be far more accurate and almost more efficient than their closest general-purpose competitors.

Today, we’re making those models publicly available via the Isaacus API, the world’s first legal AI API.

Our models don’t require any finetuning because they’re zero-shot classifiers — you give them a description of what you’re looking for (for example, “This is a confidentiality clause.”) and they pop out a classification score.

Because our models are so small, which they have to be to be able to process reams of legal data at scale, they can sometimes be a bit sensitive to prompts. To help with that, however, we’ve preoptimized an entire library of prompts, including what we call, universal templates, which let you plug in your own arbitrary descriptions of what you’ve looking for.

We’ve made our prompt library available via the Isaacus Query Language or IQL. Another world first — it’s a brand-new AI query language designed specifically for using AI models to analyze documents.

You can invoke query templates using the format “{IS <query_template_name>}”. You can also chain queries together using Boolean and mathematical operators, like so: “{This is a confidentiality clause.} AND {IS unilateral clause}”.

We think our API is pretty neat and we hope you will too.

This is just the beginning for us — over the course of this year, we’re planning on releasing text extraction and embedding models as well as a second generation of our Kanon legal foundational model.

Below are some links for your convenience.

No of course I don't. Russia will certainly try again. Ukraine is absolutely right to not want to do this! I'm just pointing out what Trump's motivation is.
Have they revoked it? I thought he’s just been arrested. That’s something various police forces within State absolutely can do with probably cause.
the tanks aren't empty when you land, since you always want to have reserve fuel (and pressure)
High volatility is the thing that should be most avoided as a reserve.
For sure. The 2024 Republican party is one built on Vibes; if you double-click on any of the specific issues, ask five questions about them, it turns out that really, that issue probably isn't all that material to Americans' lives, or isn't even real.

Example 1: We sent hundreds of billions to Ukraine, while North Carolina and Florida flooded and people lost their homes. This is a direct talking point Trump has used; maybe we should have spent that money on the homefront. Well: We spent billions on disaster relief for these affected areas, there were reports from Governors that they were getting everything they could meaningfully deploy, and moreover it doesn't seem likely to me that the money we spent on Ukraine came from some funding source that incurred that direct trade-off. The DoD isn't getting a budget increase equal to the amount spent. It was money already allocated.

Example 2: Illegal immigration is raising the crime rate. Well, its not an incorrect statement; Trump has literally deployed this "technically correct" argument that every illegal immigrant is committing a crime by entering the country illegally, and thus it raises the crime rate. Then, they talk more about the homicides and "eating the cats and dogs", and it should be obvious to anyone that: Everyone commits crime. Illegals are no different. Are they committing crime at a rate higher than citizens? I doubt it. Sure, slowing down the rate its happening has reasonably-majority agreement among Americans; but removing those already here instead of finding a path to getting them work authorization benefits no-one.

But remember: Republicans are a Vibes party, and there is something real to the Vibes they run on. These vibes should, in my view, be a mostly-bipartisan issue. Heck, its things I've seen leftists rightly complain about many times: American education sucks, American healthcare sucks, American health sucks, no one can afford a home, unemployment is growing, tons of jobs are getting shipped overseas, or supplanted by AI, what is going on?

The way I've seen it: The Republicans are a party that are quick to admit that there is a problem, but they have all the wrong solutions to it. The Democrats, on the other hand, won't admit there's a problem beyond abstract generalities in a campaign speech, and don't offer any solutions anyway.
Mark Carney to replace Trudeau as Canada's prime minister
The UK’s nukes are sourced from the US. If they want to be independent, they’ll have to develop their own.

For other countries, the problem remains that if the UK or France government turns far-right, the other countries may quickly be on their own again, just like what they now fear with the US.

An EU-level control over the nukes seems unlikely, as France (and even more the UK) want to retain their sovereignty over that.
What are edit maps?
Yes. LLMs are the perfect learning assistant.

You can now do literally anything. Literally.

Going to take a while for everyone to figure this out but they will given time.
> This just begs the next "why". Why are people eating more now?

Have you been in a US supermarket? It's absolutely nuts and I don't think many Americans realise it.

To be bombarded with monumentally huge portions of everything is just a recipe for...well....the situation the US is in. Theres not many other countries that have whole food groups focused on cramming in as much peanut butter, jelly, marshmallow, chocolate, or whatever other high fructose corn syrup crap is being used.

Massive slices of cake prepackaged and ready to eat? Yeah why not.
50 different coffee syrup flavors? Yeah go for it.
How about a lovely massive bottle of sugary drink to wash it down? Just one? No no have a crate of 20 of the things.

Just for a comparison, look up candy on the Walmart site. Now do it on Tesco UK. Next, try the bakery, or hell even the meat isle, somehow the exact same product ends up being significantly worse for you in the US.
OK so the Dems successfully brought GOP influence into the party and beat Donald Trump in 2024.

What's that... Oh they lost in normal Democratic strongholds?
There were US citizens and businesses in Ukraine last time. Russia will just go around them like they did then. Having some US businesses will provide zero protection.
So in your view, potential monopolistic price fixing is not a concern as long as the absolute per-unit numbers are relatively low?

By that logic, we’d probably still be paying double-digit cents per minute for long distance calls. (Less than a dollar - a small price to pay to talk to your loved ones across the country!)
Feels like nobody ran an integration test, and we're about to find out that 1st amendment violations are an emergent property of a complex system riddled with accountability sinks.
It's rather funny, but I wonder if you've ever been a Game Master? One of the most common problems running a game, is making the puzzles simple enough. You have to use kindergarten or back of the cereal box level puzzles or the players will fail.
I played with engineers, it's a game, and there is nothing riding on the outcome and we often failed stupid simple puzzles.
Interviews have a lot riding on them and yes stress is terrible. Stress eats working memory for breakfast, NASA learned that the hard way.
I think what they're doing is long overdue. The abuse and corruption already exposed proves it.
The net savings to taxpayers far outweighs any business losses from what I've gathered.
The topic was not determining which language has fewer defects. It was specifically about whether the error handling aspect is better.

I'm not claiming any benefit by the way of Go's error handling.
I've never even used Go. Just pointing out that measuring defects is not a good way to determine whether it is or isn't.
How is there not a slam dunk answer to whether this 50+ year old incredibly popular ingredient is ok for us or not?
Leetcode performance isn’t going to be representative of 3am incident response though. If that matters, you’re probably better off asking a classic “tell me about a time you responded to a page in the middle of the night” type question.
That’s just grift to transfer wealth from the taxpayer to the Don’s favoured henchmen.
>"At worst, straight to jail."

The "at worst" is worse: Two recent Boeing whistleblowers died in rather suspicious circumstances.
Was gonna say, they're so pro-Russian invasion, they "condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and demand immediate diplomacy and de-escalation to resolve this crisis"

There's been quite a lot done already through sanctions eg:

>Tankers carrying Russian oil stuck idling off Chinese coast after new U.S. sanctions https://meduza.io/en/news/2025/01/13/russian-oil-tankers-stu...

>UK sanctions 30 shadow tankers in largest clampdown on Russian oil trade https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/news-research...

I guess that may all go wrong if Trump drops all sanctions but at the moment it's making things difficult.
Aspartame does not increase insulin, unless I'm not updated on the current scientific consensus.

Also your idea is very american centric, diet sodas are mainstream around the world and most of those countries did not follow the us into the obesity epidemic.
go has go, and for ORM, it is better to go with sqlc.
There is a simple fact about all materials, that does leave the door open for something like what is bieng described, and it is this: all material in the universe can carry and hold a charge.As an added bonus, all material is also photo active.
Also, given that disposable paper batteries are already a thing, actualy shoves the door far enough over to warant a second look.
That just means you happen to be in the BS bubble, not that BS has growth potential outside that bubble. The top list shown on the site referred to here is a good example of what this bubble looks like and why BS is unlikely to grow much further. BS is Gab for 'progressives', a left-wing echo chamber. This does not mean that all content on the site is politically left-leaning but it does mean that anything which is in any way political ends up being such and that anyone who dares to voice dissent is treated like a dissident.
Yes, which is why they won't accept it, quite rightly!
