TigerGraph just released a Community Edition that is now free for commercial use. It supports GSQL, openCypher, and GQL, along with vector+graph search. The license allows 16 cores, 200GB graph storage, and 100GB vector storage—making it a compelling alternative to Neo4j Community Edition, which lacks built-in vector support and has stricter licensing terms.

Given the rise of vector+graph search in AI/LLM applications, this release could be useful for those looking for an open, scalable solution. Would love to hear thoughts from the community!

I was an Amiga user from 1988 through 1994. AmigaOS was basically awful until 2.0 came out in 1990/1991. That was when they finally developed UI guidelines, got rid of the garish blue/orange yellow scheme, and made the platform much more stable. Sadly, it was too little, too late. You know what was also released in 1990? Windows 3.x.
I think it would be better to show all the prices converted to US$
On the technical side, Java and C# are OOP languages with nominal typing, compacting GCs (at least by default), objects are reference types, can't have a reference to a variable, strings are UTF-16, async is available via promises / tasks / futures, async scheduling is cooperative, and module boundaries are primarily type boundaries. Applications are typically shipped as platform-independent with a separate runtime. Interfaces are intrinsic to objects, from a runtime perspective. You can overload methods. Easy to dynamically load code at runtime.

Go has structural typing, non-compacting GCs, allows you to freely choose value / reference types, can make references to variables, strings are bytes or UTF-8, async is built-in to the runtime, async scheduling is preemptive, and module boundaries are defined by the package you’re in. Applications are typically shipped as native code with a linked-in runtime. Interfaces are extrinsic to objects, from a runtime perspective. You cannot overload functions. Hard to dynamically load code at runtime.

When I write it down like this, they don’t seem all that similar to me. They’re all… garbage collected and imperative? Memory safe (or mostly) by default? That doesn’t seem like a lot of commonalities.

“They are all used for backend programming” isn’t really that interesting because backend is where you can choose whatever language you want. Facebook has a ton of Hack backend, Jane Street has OCaML, etc.
Seriously, what a dumb title. Anybody who knows what gravity waves are is gonna read it and go “what?? no.”
I want to like this product but it’s far too limited for me.

I really wish someone would make something like this for my AC though because that’s the biggest energy draw by far (aside from the EV). A cost effective battery system for the AC system during peak use hours would be very interesting for me.
That's exactly what I keep saying - both governments use the same tools to control relatively gullible masses. For example, BJP won by a vast majority largely due to their IT cell[1], an army of people paid 1-10$ per day to berate or praise anyone, re-tweet/like/share to manipulate algorithms and make things go viral. This was a huge one-sided operation for the initial few years until the opposition finally caught up.

The party is headed by an alleged murderer (people died and cases against him conveniently disappeared as soon as the party came to power)[2][3]. He's the mastermind while Modi is just the face. Modi hasn't held a single unscripted press conference/interview in the last 10 years and can't handle questions that aren't pre-arranged.

Its not just related to India, Right wings across the globe have more or less figured this out.

I don't agree with most of what you've written, however, if the US has only mineral-profits interest in defending Ukraine from Russia, then there's only slightly above zero chance that the US will be rushing to defend Taiwan from China. What seems more likely is that the US will agree to let China take Taiwan in return for allowing the trade of TSMC chips to continue.

TSMC is the majoity (only?) value proposition the US has in Taiwan, and, from memory and a cursory Wikipeding, it seems that TSMC has been 'de-centralising' into Japan, the US, and Europe of late.
Wow, much better. Can see the display better as well (looks like an IBM 5153).

Turn Tabs to Their Side – These Weeks in Firefox: Issue 177
It’s 2025, not 1995, and it’s not like the people in charge of classified information handling at the national level haven’t heard of SPF or the concept of checking email headers – or simply picking up the phone and asking for confirmation for a huge amount of work which they’re personally liable for confirming is approved. There’s no way they haven’t had training on federal records laws which included the consequences of not following those rules.

If this was not an official instruction, the response to the press would be a simple “no, I did not authorize that”. That message isn’t ambiguous and it’s not the kind of thing you’d forget sending.

Physical infrastructure will keep improving but at some point one has to have a sense of proportion on what is realistically possible. My three visits to India in past 2-3 years has given me first hand experience on how stunningly crappy infrastructure and system managing that infrastructure is compared to first world.

To be fair though it may be better than lot of other poorer nations.
> A comparable all-in-one product to this pila battery would also be around $1000

That unit is more powerful, higher capacity, and has more solar features than the Pila product. The Pila is also $1300 after pre-orders are over.

I'd pick the Delta unit, personally. They go on sale and you can even grab them from local places like Costco with good return policies.
> and the misleading way it's being compared to a Powerwall, despite not being a comparable product

100% this. I had to read a whole wall of text to get to "it's a really fancy UPS". Definitely places that will be useful, but I think a lot of people here are far more excited by the possibilities of products like Powerwall which move us towards a greener future than by large, stylish batteries.
Except for RC4, which people were side-eyeing on Usenet in the 1990s, and key size progress, I think the cryptography primitives we were using 25 years ago have held up reasonably well. A lot of things that have been major issues since then are things that we know theoretically back in 2000, but just didn't know viscerally, because people hadn't written exploits. That's not the same thing as, like, Peter Schwabe's take on whether a particular key exchange or KEM is likely to survive until 2050.
CCP under Xi has reverted to form after some temporary loosening up, but it's still way less autocratic than it was during the Mao era.

Also, the CCP ultimately derives its legitimacy from materially improving the country for the Chinese people: back in the day fighting back against the Japanese and corrupt warlords, now economic progress. Both the Chinese people and the CCP know well what it means if they stop delivering and the "Mandate of Heaven" expires.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandate_of_Heaven

China's demographic decline will take decades and unless the CCP really fucks things up (eg. invading Taiwan and failing miserably at it), it's going to be a Japan/Korea-style slow-motion stagnation, not a dramatic implosion.

True or false?

Gorbachev called it a myth: https://x.com/splendid_pete/status/1650735533826375680

And it's obvious if you follow the historical context.

In 1990, Germany was still formally under Allied military occupation (since 1945). In the final 2+4 treaty, East Germany and West Germany - the "two" - negotiated with the four Allied powers (UK, France, USA, and USSR) to determine the terms of reunification. Their discussions centered on whether a unified Germany would be fully neutral, partially neutral, or entirely integrated into NATO. In the end, they agreed that reunified Germany could remain in NATO, provided that no foreign troops were stationed in East Germany until Soviet forces had fully withdrawn by the end of 1994.

That's it. There was never any discussion about the broader future of NATO because there was no reason to have one. Germany bordered the Warsaw Pact, and no-one on the Soviet side expected it to dissolve.

Alas we didn't make it work. I was ready to gloat over recovering your old account—probably got overconfident and jinxed it. Hopefully more information will resurface and we'll get it done another day.

If it actually has a good sinusoidal output, that's something, but yeah.
Don't worry, we wouldn't ban anyone (just) for this. I agree with you that it's a grey area and will take time to work out.
Wow! I've read all the essays and thought I knew all the startups ideas he had tried by now. This is a new one.
It’s not that off topic IMO, NIST (along with all the other federal agencies) is finalizing restructuring/reorganization plans this week in response to one of last month’s executive orders. It’s not clear when the extent of the cuts will be announced, or what the criteria will be for which programs are to be affected. Though in the Commerce secretary’s confirmation hearing there was mostly good will towards this kind of light touch non-regulatory standardization approach that NIST tries to take

I thought it was funny he spelled it out, D-O-S. Wasn't it more common to say "DOS" back then too? Maybe it was because it was an address.

By informal I do not mean opaque. What I mean is that anyone is welcome to ask questions about HN and we're happy to answer them.

What we don't do is try to answer all the questions in advance. That's for several reasons, the first of which is that it's impossible.
Looks pretty neat, but at 1.6KWh it's not enough for "any" outage, so it's not really comparable to a PowerWall, which has a capacity of 13.5KWh. That said, the price is also much lower. If I didn't already have a 2KWh battery and a 3KW inverter generator, I'd buy one.

100W is a _very_ small UPS, I don't see any on the first page of the amazon listings that are that small.
My opinion here is that the biggest liability for landlords is someone mounting panels on the outside of a balcony (since obviously they cant be mounted behind bars) improperly. With the risk of them falling normally or during wind / storms.

I've done this at past apts all the time, granted with an eco-flow battery not just plugging directly into my outlets haha.
Solar & wind are variable, we need more storage on the grid to charge when these sources are abundant and discharge when they aren’t. Pila offers the same greener future that Powerwall does & makes it so everyone (home owner, renter, condo, or apartment dweller) can be part of this greener future.
I kinda concur and i think there is also a business needs mismatch. OP's approach requires a very holistic and integrated view on things, a lot of experience and academic knowledge. It would probably be a better approach, but it requires upping the requirements who can be a SE and how its taught, software might not be a commodity in this world.

The beauty of today's "cloud native" approach is that everything is basically just a layer on top of another layer and you can be completely ignorant of everything below and make stuff that even if inefficient, works. We can churn out a lot of people and yes, they will make crap, but crap that satisfies the needs of the business and creates real or perceived value for it. Arguments can be made that long-term its a loss since the codebase will rot faster, but everybody responsible will be long gone and don't care, they don't have incentives for this.

A week ago I interviewed a guy who delivered multiple projects over his 10 year career in large companies and he had no idea what's multithreading or concurrency. The academic in me weeps, but the manager/engineer in me was impressed that you can be so completely ignorant of all lower layers, but still produce said value. Would it be possible in the noted holistic approach ?
I mean, US was the shining beacon of supposedly the best capitalistic policies are, but look at where it got us.

Meanwhile, China has been getting better and better, looking at US as an example, and correctly avoiding providing the "freedoms" given to us in US in avoiding the same fate.
Ac uses so much power it is impossiple to be affordable. it might be cost effective but the sticker shock will get you.

> Also, why does it say twitter.com and not x.com

HN's software rewrites URLs back to twitter.com for two reasons: (1) people still call it Twitter colloquially, which is the real measure of what a thing is called; and (2) anything else feels weird.
Exactly. I think Dijkstra was off on this one. Simplicity may be a prerequisite for a software engineer's sanity but there's no natural law that simple is reliable. If anything, nature trends towards highly interconnected, distributed systems with plenty of redundancy - just like the internet.
With the police visiting grannies based on their Facebook posts, I’d say the UK should be right there next to the US.

Why are they expected to be different on different planetary bodies without sharing of materials? Is the early solar nebula kind of like a reverse centrifuge with denser isotopes near the sun and lighter ones further away?
> Second even if you could push that many amps through the main breaker somehow to trip it you'd be feeding it through wires designed for 15-20 amp nominal loads which would cook them.

Well, you'd end up tripping the 15-20 amp breaker protecting those wires first.
An accountant plus Stripe Tax? Or just a CSV with tax rates imported into Stripe, if you don’t feel like paying additional % per transaction.

MoR are great if you want absolutely no liability whatsoever, but especially considering there is no way for other countries to check you’re paying the right amount, I think doing it yourself isn’t too risky. (Not doing it is also a possibility.)

Your question presupposes a claim that the selection process is compromised. I'm not saying it is. I just wonder how we know it's not.

In NIST's position one could analyze the submissions for vulnerabilities to closely held (non-public) attacks, then select submissions having those vulnerabilities.
I always disagree with this moving freely argument. Certainly some live where they do specifically for work, but some are also there to be close to family. They will not be interested in relocating to save a buck.
Not gonna happen. On the 1% chance we have a fair election next time around and Dems get elected, they will be too busy cleaning up the Republican mess, and nobody will notice. Just like what happened under Biden.

China ironically can end US by simply providing easy immigration for qualified tech workers.
As the other posts have said, this isn't the right algorithm. Onesweep and its kin are cool but intimidating. The magic is easier to understand if one looks into the core algorithm: radix sort.

A very readable explanation is here: https://gpuopen.com/download/publications/Introduction_to_GP...

It turns out that radix sort can be implemented in a way that is very straightforward to parallelize. It's a beautiful and elegant approach and worth knowing about!
1. Parallel radix sort (CPU or GPU) can also be pretty fast. For input distributions without too much pattern and keys that are not too large, radix sort is probably the fastest if you can use it.

2. For typical applications, memory transfer speed matters more than sorting performance on the GPU. If most of your work is done on the CPU, transfering the memory to the GPU may take more time than sorting the array. Not sure if unified memory (apple M series chips and AMD new APU) can remedy this though.
> any of my security friends if they wanted to spend time on … quantum

I commend your friends but many people in these HN threads seem to be ready to implement post-quantum encryption right now to protect against some future threats.

> you meant having the qbits to deploy such an attack, right

Yes - last time I checked it was like 3 stable qbits. It’s just so far off from being a reality i really can’t take that research seriously.
I feel like a lot of resources are wasted in this kind of research when we are still dealing with very basic problems that aren’t just as sexy to tackle.

Edit: heart disease is a real thing so your analogy is lacking - there have been 0 security risks because of quantum in the real world.
It’s more like “physicians concentrating on possible alien diseases from when we colonise the universe in the future while ignoring heart disease”

Entering an existing market with nothing new but a sleek, Apple-like UI that makes it eady for the average user has proven to be a business success again and again. And it's had detractors who turned out to be wrong ever since "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." If not before.
No, that's formal. Formal systems that purport to answer all questions in advance are a bureaucratic bane, and as long as I'm in charge of HN, we won't go there. I'm confident that the community feels the same way.

If there's any information that someone wants to find out about HN or HN moderation, all they need to do is ask us.

A very interesting tour is the small museums at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Heart Institute. They were literally making replacement parts on a sewing machine 60 years ago. (On the other hand, they let one of those surgeons practice too far long and he left a sponge in my grandfather during an angioplasty. He was ultimately reopened and cleaned out and died of something else a few years later)
I (reluctantly) acknowledge the practicality of this, but what happens when those economic and political elite are too extreme and are overthrown? Supporting those actors creates a permanent divide and causes further isolation. Consider the various examples of regime change and/or support for dictators/authoritarians enabled by the United States in South America and the Middle East - has that made any of those countries (the US included) better off because there was alignment with political and economic elites? It seems like you make more enemies in the long run with this approach.

Ask HN: Why does Instagram search suck so much? Do they care?
Why in tiktok i can search for a random memory vaguely about a meme and it brings it up. Yet instagram search fails to find even the most basic things.

It seems like tiktok when indexing does:

1. Description text

2. Audios

3. Comments synthesis

4. Visual recognition of the video elements

Does Meta not care? Do the engineers not care? Hope we can get some inside scoop here! :)
Didn't know about this -- that's cool. I'm excited to see where it goes in the future
Dude, you're leaving people guessing. That's no good. That is not nice "informality".
Not a database engine, but I'm processing distributed dataframes (~400TB). We're seeing a perf/price ratio around 3x~4x, though it's only a limited sample of workloads/datasets. (Note: we are not sorting, yet)

As far as I can tell, it's less so that the payoff is small, but that the payoff is small considering the maturity/scarcity of GPU programming, and availability of GPUs (esp. on-prem).

Look up most of those products and you can see that they aren’t meant to be used daily, kept charged at 100% etc.. This is a commercial energy product scaled down to a consumer level, not a camping battery with a shiny exterior.

Also their apps are bad and don’t offer anything of value.
