>But you trust scanlation groups? Neither will give you perfect, professional-level translations.

I often prefer fan level over professional level because they are targeting different audience. As far as quality goes, there is a range and sometimes I skip something because the quality is too low, but I see plenty that does a good enough job.

Part of it is that there is no such thing as a perfect translation because there isn't an exact equivalent in another language. For someone with no knowledge of the original culture or language, there is some translations that will probably work best, but the more one knows about the language and culture, even a small amount picked up just from consuming other items, the the more likely a different translation works better. For a definite concrete example, how should one handle honorifics like chan, san, and kun.

Thank you! That's the brutal honesty I was looking for. Truth be told, a lot of time was put in the design itself, weird to hear that the web design of the isitcap app seems AI generated. It was all done by hand. Took a lot of time as well:) As for the processing of as many questions as possible, it's quite the opposite. They are set to noindex from the getgo, especially to avoid useless spamming. But anywho, thank you for your feedback!
Ammonia is not some obscure chemical until now neglected by science and industry, the problem of producing ammonia has already received the attention of several generations of the greatest minds humanity has. Adding yet more commercial demand for what is already very much in demand isn't going to help in any meaningful way. It's just going to drive up the price of fertilizer, and therefore the price of food.

As for doing it with electricity; that will never be more cost effective than doing it with natural gas. If you want to reduce carbon emissions, turn your attention to other industries. Fucking with the global food supply is the last thing anybody should be doing.
>obvious implication from the inode structure

I don't quite follow. In fact, at least on Linux, opening a FIFO with O_RDWR (which POSIX leaves undefined) will not block so it can work. IMO blocking for opening as writable can be justified, but I don't see why opening for readonly has to. I'm sure there is some justification for it like SIGFPE or distinguishing empty data from no data, but the result still seems fishy.

The usual promotion channels. Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, a thread or two on reddit, some facebook advertising. nothing seems to help it take off. Maybe the advertising is too soft?
there's also a significant amount of automation in place these days to sass you in the right direction, i.e.

* focusing on resources and operations on resources

* using consistent and expected naming schemes, pluralization, etc.

it also helps that the sdks and clis are very raw wrappers around this, such that if you know what it looks like in the sdk then it will look similar in the cli.
Get concerned when you see a real product in the market that has a sustainable business model.

The man behind the curtain here has an army of engineers, unlimited cloud nodes and basically has harvested all the data currently available in the world.

It doesn't get any better than this right now.

What's next? They'll ping you later on Linked-in with this awesome idea that you need to make sure runs in a $1 USD microcontroller with a rechargeable battery that is supposed to last at least all day.

The actual scary stuff is the dilution of expertise, we contributed for a long time to share our knowledge for internet points (stack overflow, open source projects, etc), and it has been harvested by the AIs already, anyone that pays access to these services for tens of dollars a month can bootstrap really quickly and do what it might had needed years of expertise before.

It will dilute little by little our current service value, but you know what, it has always been like this forever, it is just faster.

In the meantime, learn to automate the automator, that's the way to get ahead.
Is there a guide for how to use uv if you're a JS dev coming from pnpm?

I just want to create a monorepo with python that's purely for making libraries (no server / apps).

And is it normal to have a venv for each library package you're building in a uv monorepo?

Show HN: Brollly – Generate color palettes and font pairs with one keystroke
I built Brollly (https://brollly.com) to solve a common problem I faced as a developer: creating decent-looking web projects without spending hours on design decisions.

What it does:
- Generates harmonious color combinations (brand, secondary, accent)
- Suggests font pairings (headings and body text)
- Shows everything in your actual content's context
- One keystroke (Space bar) to generate new combinations

Technical details:
- Color combinations based on color theory algorithms
- Standard export options (JSON, SVG)
- Works with 100+ Google Fonts and web safe fonts
- Lock/unlock mechanism to preserve choices you like while exploring others

The key differentiator is seeing how everything works together in your actual context, letting you go from blank canvas to professional design in minutes instead of hours.

It is work in progress, but I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on the generation algorithm and UX.

Well, we run a public cloud, and before I joined up I spent the preceding 5 years at a consulting firm that ran the security teams of B2B companies that touched PII, including some in ludicrously sensitive problem domains (retail mortgage financing!) and I stand by what I wrote.

Further: while checklisting tools may only cost a couple thousand dollars, the actual process of getting a SOC2 attestation isn't the real expense. I could get OWASP WebGoat a SOC2 attestation if I wanted to (a ham sandwich would be even easier). The actual expense in SOC2 is the engineering work you do in support of it. Those checklist tools are fine if you know exactly what you're doing and don't let them add any engineering work, but what I've seen happen repeatedly is a SOC2 checklist from a tool leading a team into building a pasteurized process cheese food security practice, with IDS and WAF and server agents and code scanners and Nessus scans, at great expense.
Why do you assume it's for free? The compensation of a software engineer varies widely. The same experience can get you anywhere from $100k to $1+m.

Perpetually doing less in fear of not getting paid enough for doing more is how you get paid a pittance while complaining about it constantly. Doing more and then finding a way to get paid more is how you get paid more and be happy.
I too hate noise. That said, if you've ever spent some time far from human cities, you will notice there's plenty of noise out there, especially at night. There's probably some sort of evolutionary explanation about white noise vs startling noise etc. etc. but the main point is that it's noisy out there! In a very different way than city noise.
> Checking the correctness of proofs is a much easier problem than coming up with the proof in the first place.

Just so this isn't misunderstood, not so much cutting-edge math is presently possible to code in lean. The famous exceptions (such as the results by Clausen-Scholze and Gowers-Green-Manners-Tao) have special characteristics which make them much more ground-level and easier to code in lean.

What's true is that it's very easy to check if a lean-coded proof is correct. But it's hard and time-consuming to formulate most math as lean code. It's something many AI research groups are working on.
Show HN: Prompt2Query – Convert natural language to SQL with AI
I made a small project that helps translate plain English questions into SQL queries. It's nothing revolutionary, but it might be useful for teams where non-technical folks need to query databases without bothering developers each time.
Prompt2Query uses LLMs to do the translation. It's still early days, and there are definitely limitations, but I've found it helpful in my own work. The accuracy isn't perfect, especially for complex queries, but it handles common cases reasonably well.
Currently supports:

Basic SQL dialects (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
Simple API for integration
Schema validation to catch obvious errors

This is my first proper open-source project, so I'm sure there are many improvements to be made. I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or contributions from the community.
I'd agree if you replace "knowledge" with "judgement". It seems to me that mere knowledge will become embedded in our environment.
Show HN: Vibe Coding Idea Generator
Since Vibe Coding is officially a thing now (because the internet said so) I decided to do my part and empower fellow vibecoders by creating a Vibe Coding Idea Generator.

Because let’s be real, half of us are just sitting here, hoping an idea magically appears while we scroll X or BSKY.

This generator ensures you’ll never have to wonder "what should I build?" again. Instead, it serves you only the vibiest project ideas that you can use for real.

After all at the end of the day, vibe coding isn’t about finishing projects: It’s about feeling like you might start one.

No overthinking. No hesitation. Just vibes.

Not without redesign. I am telling you that whatever key exchange you run, it will result in key material that is accessible by the telco and therefore by your adversary (e.g., PRC). This is true even if you deployed authenticated Diffie-Hellman between endpoints. You might be able to do secure VoIP on top of that, but you cannot use existing telco infrastructure for your calls without expecting the tower to be able to decrypt the call. The ability of the telco to decrypt the call is the very basis of CALEA and LI, or lawful interception modules, and the reason why Salt Typhoon works.
Ammonia is in peepee, not poopoo. Maybe you are thinking methane, which is present in farts.
Go get trained on modern CPR. The current training is "call for help, get an AED from the environment if you can, the call center might tell you where to get it from, do CPR until the AED arrives, and then follow the AEDs spoken instructions."

If the AED detects it cannot be useful for shocking, it will at least tell you and give you a rhythm to keep doing CPR. So as a casual first aid provider, it doesn't matter to you what the AED can and can't do. Get it, get it hooked up, and let it help you.

"Tariff" is probably not quite the right mechanism because there's no importer to really pay at the time the good is imported.

But the government in Canada passed a federal sales tax holiday that applied to a very arbitrary selection of products for a couple months here.

It was kind of a nightmare for small businesses, but I expect a similar legal framework would work for software. If you sell software, you're now obligated to remit 25% of the sales revenue to the gov unless the software is on a list of "Canadian software" as determined by some team of bureaucrats.

Doesn't matter if he's committed crimes or violated conditions of his green card. He is still entitled to due process. Just because a person commits crimes does not mean the government gets to commit crimes.

Just because this guy is a lying bigot, doesn't set aside due process.

The consistent theme is weakness. The school coddled Hamasniks on campus through illegal intimidation, harassment, blocking the free movement of people. And now the school coddles and rolls over to the authoritarianism and threats of the Trump regime.

Hopefully you see the obvious trap, having target Mahmoud Khalil as a case for chipping away at the foundation of due process, not merely the perimeter?

The ADL is defending his arrest and deportation. It's obscene.

Trump said vandalism of Telsas will be labeled as terrorism. Who will stop those arrests and eventual deportations? Where would they go? South American countries were lining up to be paid to take U.S. deportees. U.S. citizens absolutely can be made to disappear unless we all understand the law is paramount. Due process can never be set aside.
I can understand your sentiment, but to be fair, he wasn't talking about write-offs, at least how I read it. He was talking about tax revenue generated by the production and sale of those "pollutants." Revenue generation via people paying taxes on things is kind of the opposite of write-offs.
Parkinson's Law contains a nice (tongue in cheek) summary of the influence of the Chinese system on the British Civil Service:

> The Chinese system was studied by Europeans between
1815 and i830 and adopted by the English East India
Company in 1832. The effectiveness of this method was
investigated by a committee in 1854, with Macaulay as
chairman. The result was that the system of competitive
examination was introduced into the British Civil Service
in 1855. An essential feature of the Chinese examinations
had been their literary character. The test was in a knowledge of the classics, in an ability to write elegantly (both
prose and verse) and in the stamina necessary to complete
the course. All these features were faithfully incorporated in
the Trevelyan-Northcote Report, and thereafter in the
system it did so much to create. It was assumed that classical
learning and literary ability would fit any candidate for
any administrative post. It was assumed (no doubt rightly)
that a scientific education would fit a candidate for nothing
- except, possibly, science. It was known, finally, that
it is virtually impossible to find an order of merit among
people who have been examined in different subjects.
Since it is impracticable to decide whether one man is better in geology than another man in physics, it is at least
convenient to be able to rule them both out as useless.
When all candidates alike have to write Greek or Latin
verse, it is relatively easy to decide which verse is the best.
Men thus selected on their classical performance were then
sent forth to govern India. Those with lower marks were
retained to govern England. Those with still lower marks
were rejected altogether or sent to the colonies. While it
would be totally wrong to describe this system as a failure,
no one could claim for it the success that had attended the
systems hitherto in use. There was no guarantee, to begin
with, that the man with the highest marks might not tum
out to be off his head; as was sometimes found to be the
case. Then again the writing of Greek verse might prove to
be the sole accomplishment that some candidates had or
would ever have. On occasion, a successful applicant may
even have been impersonated at the examination by some-
one else, subsequently proving unable to write Greek verse
when the occasion arose. Selection by competitive examination was never therefore more than a moderate success.
Good point, I guess they probably did mean scour the country for suppliers, rather than ball machines! Even in context you could read it both ways:

> First, they had to scour the country to acquire the 250,000 bouncy balls needed to create the critical mass. “They bought every bouncy ball west of the Mississippi,” said Ranahan. “There was not a single bouncy ball in any machine in America for a couple months. I felt so bad for the poor children,” said Fuglsig.

About Me: I'm a full stack developer, leaning towards the front end, with 3+ years of web dev experience. Along with the technologies listed above, I'm currently learning Three.js. I also have some game dev experience in Unity and Unreal Engine. I'm actively seeking full-time or part-time opportunities, plus I have experience in both established companies and early-stage startups. Even if it's for an early stage startup I'm flexible with discussing a reasonable salary.
If this makes it easier and faster to sort garbage, we could probably improve the efficiency of recycling 100x. I know there are some places that do that already, but there are so many menial tasks that could be done by robots to improve the world.
The reality is that resources are constrained and there is definitely conflict between different goals - if you invest in one thing you can’t invest as much in another.
For me it looks like the investment in QC is way bigger than its real life impact - which is 0. Sure it can be a niche field for some more esoteric research - but it shouldn’t be the no1 topic for security researchers.
But I get that QC brings in the grant money so naturally research gravitates toward it.
Not a constructive comment, but I'm gonna say it anyway: this conversation is perfectly frustrating to watch. Thank you both.
SBA Announces Made in America Manufacturing Initiative
In-person voting requirements are typically enforceable if the place is real and legally and practically accessible. IANAL though.
How does this differ from the US or western Europe?
For non-substitutable goods that makes sense, but if a company is choosing where to establish new manufacturing, you've now heavily incentivized them to manufacture in the US rather than the EU, as that way they get no tariffs in either direction.

The Raspberry Pi Pico also has Bluetooth and WiFi.
The issue doesn't appear to be storage, but transmission. Hydrogen can leak through metal and lead to it becoming brittle, so you can't use conventional natural gas pipelines to transport it.
Very happy to see someone else thought of this too.

I see the endgame as one in which services just expose documentation to their APIs and the AI figures out, based on your request, what to call and how to present the results to you based on pre-set preferences.

The responsibility of discoverability also would shift from the UI/UX person to the AI.

The potential obstacle here is that a lot of companies make their money from the UI/UX used to deliver their service on top of the service itself e.g by adding dark patterns, visual cues, collecting usage pattern data and showing you ads.
