Turned off "Discover" on my Android phone. Was weird first. I felt like I might miss out on something, some important bit of information. "Sometimes it does show me interested things" I thought. And, true, sometimes I get shown a scientific article that would missed otherwise.

But just like when I deleted my Facebook and Twitter accounts years back, I did not miss any important event.

In my opinion Firefox is better in all the ways except speed - Chrome still feels faster on old computers. And I prefer the browser market to still have some technical diversity no matter who actually runs it.
I had a Look Magazine cover from the early 1950s .. It showed oil barrels full of radioactive waste, with a guy moving one on a handcart, with heavy gloves on! The point of the photo was "radioactive material must be handled very carefully" .. the guy had thick gloves .. for a fifty gallon drum of radioactive waste, among many of them.. Things change
I found that AI might help with analysis, but the generation part severely lacks and overall results in just too much effort to clean up and check the code afterwards then just writing it yourself.

At least for mid- to high- complex projects.

Vibe coding might be fun but ultimately results in unmaintainable code.
Lenin wrote, like, 20 billion books and articles about his ideology. And no, you generally doesn't need 20 billion books and articles to get into power and then keep it.

Compare him with Stalin, who even read with difficulty, or with Putin, who wrote one and a half articles on history.
Ok how do you "intervene" with muscle? Do you surgically transplant it?

It's a thing that exists. Genetic differences are not interventions. Those are also simply things that exist.

An intervention is a change in treatment or behavior that induces a change with effects we want.

Differences between individuals are not interventions.

The intervention of interest is building muscle through strength training.
The general population figures out all kinds of complex things and loves it when tech provides solutions to those complexities. Commercials suck and Tivo flew off the shelves in part because of 30 second skip. Half of browser users have an ad blocker. No one was handed these by their Big Tech overlords, they sought them out and used them to fix their "feeds". Give people some credit that if we make good tools available, they'll avail themselves of those. The active audience of this website is probably capable of building some of those. So, get to it instead of lamenting the fall.
The sentence I quoted is not presented as an opinion of the artist, or even of the article author; it is presented as an incontrovertible fact. As an opinion of the artist, it would have had at best a very slight relevance. However, presented as pure fact, it is irrelevant at best and seems suspicious.
> We cannot allow a nuclear war to happen, even if it means letting Putin have Ukraine.

As soon as you decide this, and let others know you have, you have lost everything. Because if that logic applies to Ukraine it applies equally to Poland, to Alaska, France, to Washington, D.C., to your hometown. You've committed to surrender everything to any power that has the potential to escalate to nuclear war.

(It's even worse if you don't believe this -- or if you think you do but would think differently if the thing to surrender was closer to home -- and let people think you do, because that makes it almost inevitable that things will escalate beyond your trigger point, resulting in nuclear war.)

This seems cool and all but it's fairly trivial to docker compose whatever stuffs/apps you want and install caddy as the reverse proxy on the host (I normally don't do caddy in a container but it might be better to)

You have to setup docker compose files with airo it looks like in any case, so this just simplifies the caddy part? But caddy is so simple to begin with I'm not sure the point..
Show HN: Kapital – A Tool for Talking with IFRS Financial Reports (PDFs/Scans)
The Kapital Assistant is our hackathon-winning project that we decided to continue.

If you are financial analyst or a private investor, you probably know that sometimes you have to make those reports on how a company is doing at the moment. And of course you have to go through extensive financial data ensuring that no critical details are overlooked. And those financial data sets are stored in PDF files that are digital born or sometimes even scanned. This process is very essential but is also incredibly time consuming And that's exactly where the Kapital Assistant comes in.

So basically we are enabling people to talk to the financial information stored in unstructured PDFs.

Try this out: https://kapital-assistant.vercel.app/
Sure but people decide Mozilla is not meeting their standards and then switch to.... Chrome. (Or a browser based on chromium which is just a filtered version of Chrome).
I understand. In that scenario, why can't users just use these other query engines directly instead of the extension. You're heavily relying on DuckDB within your extension but may not be able to unleash its full power since you're embedding it within Postgres and operating within the constraints of the Postgres extension framework and interface.
Is it going to support manifest v2 after it is phased out by Google or whoever is going to own Chrome?

Unfortunately, MAD likely requires that you can't let Putin have Ukraine. And if MAD fails, well then we're all screwed anyway.
There’s no such thing as an obvious error in most fields. What would the AI say to someone who claimed the earth orbited the sun 1000 years ago? I don’t know how it could ever know the truth unless it starts collecting its own information. It could be useful for a field that operates from first principles like math but more likely is that it just blocks everyone from publishing things that go against the orthodoxy.
Browse individual subreddits, in this way you avoid most of 'the algorithm'.
I think the opposite, just like we used to tell people to "go read a book", now we'll tell people to "spend some time with an AI" to get cultured. The more AI time the better for your education.

No PWA support out of the box last time I looked. And Firefox (understandably but annoyingly) doesn't support some of the non-standardised Chrome APIs such as the File System Access API.
Advantage where ? Chinese tech companies are not competing outside China with one notable exception of TikTok (1) .

Global tech companies do not compete in China, the market is brutal for non Chinese companies with level of espionage, theft, sabotage that is allowed.

It is really small world for big tech, the same 5-10 companies dominate most of the world in most frequently used consumer products, and using that dominance to crowd out competitors in every new product category

>by Alec's excellent video which I recommend everyone watch.

I get what your advice is about but to add some nuance which didn't cover... you should consider that I learned of Alec's Technology Connections channel 9 years ago because the Youtube algorithm suggested it to me.

Why did Youtube do that? It was because I had watched Ben's Applied Science excellent video showing vinyl grooves under an electron microscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuCdsyCWmt8

So the first Alec video I got exposed to was his related topic on vinyl records (click "Oldest" to see them) : https://www.youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections/videos

I'd argue that the Youtube algorithm is very good at finding adjacent videos of interest especially in educational topics and DIY repair tutorials.

You're suggesting people go to Youtube subscriptions feeds but people have a list of favorites in their subscriptions often because of the algorithm. There's a bit of chicken-vs-egg situation going on there.

What a good algorithm does is help users with the Explore-vs-Exploit tradeoff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration%E2%80%93exploitati...

- Explore --> Youtube algorithm sidebar recommendations of related videos.

- Exploit --> add a worthy creator to subscription feed and get alerted to new releases from that person

The "explore" part is helped by algorithms because they can suggest videos you would have never thought of because you don't know the keywords or jargon to type into a Youtube search box to get to it directly. "You don't know what you don't know."

But don't use the algorithm for politics or click on anything that has a thumbnail with the shocked Pikachu face. That just starts a feedback loop of crap.

Arguably, the algorithms could put one into a non-productive engagement loop never to escape. Personally, I don't think it's a big risk for educational/DIY topics because your brain gets saturated with "too much information" and hits a stopping point where you don't want to learn any more.

So... Algorithms can be bad ... but you can also make them work for you.
Ban visitors?
I’ve turned off all my social media feeds and use Tapestry now which presents posts from some of them in pure chronological order. This include this site, Bluesky, RSS feeds, YouTube and more. I am enjoying it a lot.

I no longer see Facebook, Instagram or X and I’m okay with that.
Another perspective is Google is stifling American innovation by its megalithic presence in markets. Suppressing local growth in exchange for short term profitability.

Separately, why is having tech giants a pure advantage? These companies got big by innovating, but the innovation slows down when they are big. Sounds to me that we should be regularly clearing old growth to let new ideas break through
This is so funny.

So chromium came from WebKit, which in turn came from KHTML which was ... a KDE web engine :D
They traded user experience for developer egos. Ego is the equivalent of wealth in the OSS world, just as it is in academia. KDE 4 developers had some grand ideas to push on the world, such as the semantic web, regardless of whether or not their users cared for them.
That sounds an entirely implausible explanation. If it was just the wrong file, it would have had the original author's name on it. Which it didn't.
Is there a chance the constitution will be changed after all this so the president can't pardon people?
How does HN fit into that? I’m not trying to be cheeky, I’m genuinely interested, HN is technically an infinite website (though you do have to click “More”) yet you’re here.

Do you use the noprocrast settings? Does HN just fit differently into your brain? Something else?
The issues that I have with Redis are not at all its API (which is elegant and brilliant) or even its serialized, single-core, single-threaded design, but its operational hazards.

As a cache or ephemeral store like a throttling/rate limiting, lookup tables, or perhaps even sessions store, it's great; but it's impossible to rely on the persistence options (RDB, AOF) for production data stores.

You usually only see this tendency with junior devs, though. It might be a case where "when all you have is a hammer, all you see are nails", or when someone discovers Redis (or during the MongoDB hype cycle ten years ago), which seems like it's in perfect alignment with their language datatypes, but perhaps this is mostly because junior devs don't have as many production-ready databases (from SQL like Postgresql, CockroachDB, Yugabyte to New/NoSQL like ScyllaDB, YDB, Aerospike) to fall back on.

Redis shines as a cache for small data values (probably switch to memcache for larger values, which is simpler key-value but generally 3 to 10 times faster for that more narrow use case, although keep an eye on memory fragmentation and slab allocation)

Just think carefully before storing long-term data in it. Maybe don't store your billing database in it :)
It's somewhat ironic that the author advocates for keeping it simple and using pgvector but then buries a ton of complexity with an API server, auth server, Cloudflare workers, and durable objects. Especially given

> Supabase easily the most expensive part of my stack (at $200/month, if we ran in it XL, i.e. the lowest tier with 4-core CPU)

That could get you a pretty decent VPS and allow you to coassemble everything with less complexity. This is exemplified in some of the gotchas, like

> Cloudflare Workers demand an entirely different pattern, even compared to other serverless runtimes like Lambda

If I'm hacking something together, learning an entirely different pattern for some third-party service is the last thing I want to do.

All that being said though, maybe all it would've done is prolong the inevitable death due to the product gap the author concludes with.
>Your contention is that only billionaires can get contraband in prison?

That's a whole new sentence.

There's no logical progression from:

"Billionaires like him should serve the same time in the same manner as any other citizen."

to

"only billionaires can get contraband in prison"

Rethink the modalities in the two comments and try again.
Yeah playing the whole corporate game really corrupted Mozilla. When you join them you start to think like them. And then it's game over.

It was US tax issues that forced them to go corporate but as a result of the Google deal. So they tricked them into going corporate.
How Knowledge Work Will Evolve in the AI Era
Not just across concurrent processes, but also serial ones. Externalizing a cache into something like Redis lets you bounce your process with no reload time. You can get around it for some things like web sessions with a signed cookie, but that opens up expiration and invalidation issue.

But that doesn’t work for caching non trivial calculations or intermediate state. There’s a sweet spot for transitory persistence.
The 2% figure isn't a study of the fraud rate, it's just a survey asking academics if they've committed fraud themselves. Ask them to estimate how many other academics commit fraud and they say more like 10%-15%.

> That is in direct contradiction to your previous sentence. No, losing the higher absolute amount of body fat is better. While being sustainable healthy.

This isn't in any way a contradiction if you're mathematically literate. If the highest rate of weight loss is some rate R, and losing weight without preserving muscle has you losing 0.5R muscle and 0.5R fat, losing R fat and 0 muscle is literally going to lose you more fat at the same rate. This is middle school math, and is literally what anyone who knows what they're talking about suggests, and is validated in the research.

> You may be on the wrong forums then. Most forums don't think all your days should be leg days.

Oh good more shit you've made up. No where did I suggest this. If you're going to engage in bad faith, go away.

Any well-rounded strength program will preserve muscle mass in a cut. You only need to work every muscle twice per week. No leg emphasis needed.

I highly recommend reading Marshal McLuhan's book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man from which that phrase originates (and not just a Wikipedia summary, different medium after all!)
That's true for some kinds of research but a lot of academic output isn't as firm as "X creates Y".

Replicability is overrated anyway. Loads of bad papers will replicate just fine if you try. They're still making false claims.

Ask HN: Is SWSX Dead?
I had no idea it started yesterday, and I'm in Texas. It seems like the days of launching at SXSW are long gone, but is there any relevance left for the tech community?
Ah, yes, that's a good argument for property definition. I agree that it seems excessive to use armed force to enforce this, I was more questioning how to differentiate the two situations in law so cops don't have to exercise that judgement.
The general problem is that honest politicians are uncommon. If you have to choose between corrupt politician who is going to do X and corrupt politician who is going to do Y then you're going to choose on the basis of X and Y rather than corruption because "honest politician" isn't on the ballot.

Go ahead and change that if you can figure out how.
There's no reason not to think that within their current model architecture they accidentally discovered lucky configuration which helps them achieve better results than competitors. While companies still need tens of thousands of GPUs to train the models, we no longer need that for inference; with DeepSeek you can infer efficiently at a fairly modest price with comparable quality. As the model training is understood better, we might hit the ceiling where additional thousands of GPU-hours won't give any noticeable quality benefit and good results from training can be achieved even without investing hundreds of millions into hardware.
> For the same price as 'out of state' tuition at UC Berkeley, you could hire a $100/hour tutor for 1:1 sessions, 8 hours a week.

Out-of-state fees raise tuition from $17K to $51K, but $17K is still a lot of money (and overall costs add up to about $51K a year even for in-state students.)

Besides expensive $100/hour tutors - Berkeley could (as many schools do) hire cheap undergrads from the previous cohort.

It also seems to me that the basic idea of mastery could be implemented with self-paced learning and individualized assessment, which could potentially be batched based on milestones.
The safety and needs of a prisoner are not the only concerns. The safety and needs of the victims and public are also a concern. Moreover, if there was a breach of security (which is at least close to the definition of what happened), temporarily securing the prisoner in a separate location to assess what happened and how it happened doesn’t immediately strike me as unreasonable.

I would prefer, of course, that it wasn’t solitary.
I used to do this too - it used to be that after you passed the first couple of pages of results from the major/mainstream sites the rest would be minor personal websites, forums, and similar. Find one good article on one of them and it was often worth adding to your bookmarks or RSS collection to ensure you saw the writer's later additions.
You don’t need legal solutions for something that technology can fix. Agents can gather, filter, rank, and display information in a way that works for you. Gatekeepers control both the information and the interface, but agents take that control back—especially local agents, which offer privacy and freedom from restrictive oversight. LLMs can adapt endlessly in how they present information. There’s no need to disconnect entirely or remain at the mercy of tech companies. I suspect advertising is headed for a rough patch soon, as agents will slice through spam and ads.
The suit started under the last Trump administration.
There’s an API and even third party buttons.

I don’t think there’s any other modern car getting so much scrutiny. Ironically it is making it so much better than competitors they basically have no chance to catch up.
No. Not in a society that values the rule of law. I keep seeing amoral "do whatever you can get away with" sociopathy masquerading as "realism" in our discussions of politics. I wish it would stop.
Over time I’ve come to see LISP less as the natural collapse of artificial boundaries but the artificial collapse of natural ones. Where and how data is stored is a real concern, but where and how the program is stored isn’t. Security boundaries around data and executable code are of paramount importance. Data storage concerns don’t benefit from being mixed with programming language concerns but from computer and storage architecture concerns (eg column stores).

In toy programs, such as this one, those concerns can all be discarded, so LISP is a good fit. But in serious systems it’s soon discovered that what is offered is in fact “simplistic made easy”. That’s not to say that traditional systems don’t suffer from all the ills Hickey diagnoses in them, but that we differ on what the cure is.
Is this what you're talking about?: https://usetapestry.com/

It is unlikely that any amendment to the Constitution that would pass (or even a new order of government instituted without amending the Constitution, e.g., by autocoup or violent revolution) would eliminate the pardon power, though it is somewhat more plausible that it might be made either subject to some kind of after-issue review or made non-unilateral, either generally or in particular circumstances.

redis is needed to share data with other microservices, that are possibly written in different language.

polyglot teams when you have big data pipeline running in java, but need to share data with node/python written services.

if you dont have multiple isolated micro services, then redis is not needed
