A good question would be whether sign language can exist at all without spoken language (and its related adaptations) having first existed within the species.
"By design" LLMs lack: initiative, emotion, creativity, curiosity, opinions, beliefs, self-reflection, or even logical reasoning. All they can do is predict the next token - which is still an extremely powerful building block on its own, but nothing like the above.
Ask HN: How has the image/reputation of YC changed in the last 1 year?
Overall do people have more or less respect for YC now vs last year?

What is causing the trend (if there is one)?

Is it censorship?
Exclusivity at YC?
And yet, compared to the time you're waiting for that mast head jpeg to load, plus an even bigger "react app bundle", also completely irrelevant.

HTTP/3 makes a meaningful difference for machines that need to work with HTTP endpoints, which is what Google needed it for: it will save them (and any other web based system similar to theirs) tons of time and bandwidth, which at their scale directly translates to dollars saved. But it makes no overall difference to individual humans who are loading a web page or web app.

There's a good argument to be made about wasting round trips and HTTP/3 adoption fixing that, but it's not grounded in the human experience, because the human experience isn't going to notice it and go "...did something change? everything feels so much faster now".

There used to be a ton of chip manufacturers. Now there's only one dominant player left: TSMC. Eventually, the winner outpaces everyone and the cost to compete is so astronomically high, only 1-2 will be left.

Not everyone can give away their models for free forever - especially when the cost to train a new model is exponentially more expensive.
It's OK in terms of voice recognition, as in, it almost always work. But integrating with an external LLM for more flexibility in voice commands has been a meh experience and doesn't work perfectly (to be fair, I'm using an external OpenAI compatible API, so it might be something to do with that).
If I had a dime for every comment I’ve deleted before posting or decided not to even write on the back of “better not shit where I eat”.
What I think is hard for a lot of tech people to understand is that people don't care about privacy in the abstract. "Your data is being read and stored" isn't interesting to most people unless they know what it's being used for. And, often, to the surprise of the kind of person reading this, they are totally fine with how their data is being used. They don't care that the government is listening in for anti-terror activities. They don't care that corporations are aggregating their data to sell ads. They don't think it's a big deal.

There are things they would care about, but they don't care about those things.

And they don't care about privacy in the abstract.
Well, we know that they could communicate (or be attractive enough) to interbreed with Homo sapiens — presumably they weren’t the genetically stronger species because their DNA is generally 1-3% represented in ours.

We don’t know, as you note. But the genetic evidence combined with tool use and their large Supra-orbital indices (fairly big brains, if shaped differently than ours) all would make that the preferred prior I’d say.

Until you can buy a TPU and stick it in your own server, Google may as well be just another commodotized provider on OpenRouter.
You cannot prove that an algorithm does what you want, unless your understanding of what you want is quite formal.
But you can prove that an algorithm makes sense and that it doesn't make specific classes of mistake: for example, a median filter has the property that all output pixel values are the value of some input pixel, ensuring that no out of range values are introduced.
In that case you need to provide an SLA for your speed claims. Otherwise the claims are basically moot.
Yeah, this is exactly my point. Despite provisioning (and paying for) io1 ssd’s it doesn’t matter because you’re still pulling through on demand over a network connection to access it.

It was faster to just not do any of this. At my current job we pay $200/mo for a single bare metal server, and our CI is about 50% quicker than it was for 20% of the price.

In 2025, it feels like we're 5 to 10 years past the time a consumer should default to assuming their cloud-connected device isn't extracting the maximum possible revenue from them.

The problem is that the situation where everyone rolls their own certificate stack is lunacy in this day and age. We need crypto everywhere, and it should be a lot easier to configure how you want: the kernel is a great place to surface the common interface for say "what certificates am I trusting today?"

The 10+ different ways you specify a custom CA is a problem I can't wait to see the back of.
There's a point of view that smart investors did, and dumb investors were left holding the bag.

If that's your belief, then thinking it's risky and you may lose your shirt requires believing that you may not be smart. Which is a tough thing to accept for a lot of people, especially ones who think investment success is all about smarts and not luck.
Every reasonable person agrees with me. It’s obvious. Would you ever write a unit test to assert true is true? Sometimes you can just look at the problem and the right answer is so clear that everyone knows it
I don't disagree that it's hard to predict. But the person I'm responding to says CUDA will be nullified by AGI, so therefore, you shouldn't invest in Nvidia.

By that logic, a lot of things will be un-investable and not just Nvidia.
FYI your pricing page has typos: "Experitaion Date" / "Experitaion Date"
There are two problems with this comparison. First, probabilistic prime generation has a mathematically proven lower bound that improves with iteration. There is no comparably robust tuning parameter with an LLM. You can use a different model, you can use a bigger variant of the same model, etc., but these all have empirically determined and contextually sensitive reliability levels that are not otherwise tunable. Second, the prime generation function will always give you an integer, and never an apple, or a bicycle, or a phantasm. LLMs regurgitate and hallucinate, which means that a simple error rate is not the only metric that matters. One must also consider how egregiously wrong and even nonsensical the errors can be.
Do you have a personal example that you can point to regarding modern physics?
Hmm...

I tried this out and have a couple of thoughts... the first is that the generated playlists contained very few songs or artists that I enjoy, and the second is that it appears to be tied in to just what's available on YouTube, but YouTube's music library isn't very comprehensive (which probably why it's been hard to get a list containing music I enjoy).

So this tool doesn't appear to be useful to me. If I were able to provide a list of music to choose from, that would likely make the tool more useful. Although I imagine there are practical difficulties that would prevent that from working, so perhaps a tool like this that would work well for people like me isn't possible.
The context of the thread is HTTP/3 servers; would it not make sense to take the comment in that context? Original article mentions that browsers (the client side) already supports HTTP/3 with the application server ecosystem being the missing piece.
Will be looking forward to that!

However, it feels a bit weird: at this level of performance going SaaS only kinda defeats the purpose, no?
I think the usual move is to buy some barely operating New Jersey deli chain or teabag factory that happens to be publicly listed, then rename it to:

I use the GitHub CoPilot constantly along with other LLM tools but I just haven’t found a use-case for this OS-level one. I saw someone on a screen share with a terminal copilot/LLM maybe that could be useful but I don’t think an overall GUI assistant really works (or is even needed?). So I wonder who even noticed this uninstall ;)

I wonder if they forked it to "experiment" with the workflow coinbase has and doesn't actually make any pull request toward them, perhaps to validate their hypothesis/attack. with that said, coinbase pulled the workflow that used tj-actions/changed-files immediately around this time so hopefully no harm was done

Granted, Readium LCP[0] may be one of the less odious DRM solutions out there for eBook contents, however it's still DRM. Handcuffs are still handcuffs regardless of how comfortably they fit.

DRM is in my view is too often used as a cudgel to mandate hardware and software level restrictions that take away the control of our own computing devices and environments. I personally hold that intellectual property isn't property, and is increasingly becoming a net negative to humanity as a whole. In the case of this article, there is an ominous threat of legal action against the disclosure of the author's work, potentially stifling the speech of a fellow hacker.

While I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of creatives, and their need to eat, I feel like the pendulum has swung so far to the interests of the copyright holders and away from the needs of the public that the bargain is no longer one I support.

Because of this stance, I find myself uncomfortably on the side of AI bros like Sam Altman who argue for the expansion of the fair use doctrine. I see AI as an accelerant in the erosion of IP's relevance and enforceability. With AI being able to crank out derivative works at scale, it blurs the lines between infringement and transformation. My hope is that the flood of such content makes enforcement impractical, and that it will further demonstrate that the IP emperor is naked.

Trump's legal interpretations are always about him, not any sensible analysis.

I'd like to see the system done away with. It doesn't make sense that buddies of the executive branch should be given special treatment... same goes for Trump & Co. It has gotten wild with preemptive pardons and so on. That's not equal protection under the law ...

If the system was really a system where they reviewed exceptional cases of non connected folks and issued pardons I'd be ok with it, but it's not.

Having said all that, this declaration seems to be the purview of the courts not the executive branch.
Is there firmware to turn the Bose Alexa into just a Bluetooth speaker? I see there is a bose-dfu utility on github, but its list of supported devices is short (because the person who made it didn’t have other devices).

As long as there's some envvars with the SHA, branch name, remote, etc, all that should be handleable by a wrapper (or git itself) being able to fall back on those in instances where it's invoked in a tarball of a repo rather than a real repo.

EDIT: Or alternatively (and probably better), the forges could include a dummy .git directory in the tarball that declares it an "archive"-type clone (vs shallow or full), and the git client would read that and offer the same unshallow/fetch/etc options that are available to a regular shallow clone.
Pardons have been an integral part of English Common Law for over 1,000 years. The Framers of the Constitution didn't invent the concept out of thin air; they drew on a long-standing tradition of clemency to ensure justice and mercy within the legal system.

You really think this would go unnoticed?

This entire debate came up in the context of them having to upload audio clips for server side processing.

So which is it? They’re uploading Audi clips? Or they’re converting everything to text?
To me your comment seems to be implying one of two things:
1) Black people are biologically hardwired to have a shorter life expectancy than white people
2) A shorter life expectancy among black people doesn't count -- it's only life expectancy among white people that matters

Could you clarify further if you meant one of these, or if you meant something else that I was not able to pick up on?
Full FSD would theoretically allow vehicle owners to rent out spare capacity with no hassle.

It would be nice to find such a thread. This is a pet peeve of mine.

It’s one thing if you have a PO Box, and it’s consistently used in your various documents and registrations. I get wanting a firewall to direct availability.

But if I can barely find evidence you exist other than your software, or if you operate a fairly large scale service and you haven’t filed a yearly required corporate report (a specific example I recently came across), then those are red flags to me. Not immediate showstoppers necessarily, but if you’re trying to get me to make a purchase, I probably won’t.

It’s fine if you have domain privacy turned on, but you’re selling me software or services you have got to offer some kind of evidence that you have some kind of business nexus someplace. In a business context, I’ve got to know that for avoiding sanctions violations at the least.
The complaints about Biden's cognitive abilities is so strange when it gets spammed, these folks must have never watched Trump's train of thought wander away in speeches before.
In no particular order:

Quality seems completely lost as a goal in any shop. See Demming and Peopleware.

In very general terms: "founder mode" is more often than not toxic because it is taken out of context and used to scapegoat being an asshole. Much like the Steve Jobs worshipping of yesteryear.

Lack of financial oversight by board/investors including founders putting up company money for personal investments including moving money into personal accounts to try and inflate their credit ratings.

Non-VC startup: lack of preparing for a future where income is reduced for a period of time and keeping some amount of business savings around

VC startup: lack of appropriate fund handling given the assumption that the money machine will always be there

Hurting all option holders by removing the ability to exercise early or ruining their exit with poor financial stewardship including down rounds or bridge rounds

Always time to fix it later vs taking the time to plan and execute correctly in the first place. This is a relative scale of time to market and risk to opportunity cost but with the exception of large events like tradeshows or such a few more weeks to get it right is better than hobbling along with literally millions of dollars of technical debt if success is found.

And re:tradeshows - demoware is the name of the game and sales needs to be onboard with eng that demoware is demoware and what to sell ahead of the product

Lack of clear execution plan as product market fit is found and everyone has been acting in "throw shit on the wall to see what sticks" mode

General lack of discipline to keep things orderly as work is done which is a failure to understand systems and second / third order effects. Speed is a lagging indicator not a leading one. Everyone wants more, faster but then fails to slow down to put process in place to facilitate moving faster.

Not growing teams appropriately. Lots of lack of empathy, poor hiring practices, abysmal firing practices. Lots of tolerance of "smart assholes" in small teams when leadership only cares about P/L and so the toxicity grows.

If it helps, I'm older than you and grew up on 8-bits and then progressed to the Amiga. I played games, but even as a kid, my real interest was always programming - I'd usually rather be coding something than playing a game (for me, that is far more mentally stimulating).

I do have very fond memories of certain 8-bit games, but apart from Elite and the Freescape games like Driller and Total Eclipse, they're mostly platformers. I liked some of the classics on the Amiga, e.g. Dynablasters, Monkey Island, etc, but again I far preferred platformers.

However, that was just for that period of time - when I went to uni, I got interested in "real computers" and especially distributed computing, and I missed out on a whole generation of games. Even now, I've still never played any of the Zelda games even though the top-down 2D games would have interested me when I was younger. Even more surprising to me is back in the late 90s, I thought I'd buy Myst on the PC because it seemed like I'd enjoy it because I liked Monkey Island on the Amiga. I never managed to play it for more than about half an hour, it just wasn't interesting to me at that point of time.

Ironically, professionally I'm actually a games developer even though I still don't play a lot of games any more. I'm in that industry because I love programming and experimenting with rendering techniques, and working in that discipline always keeps me on the cutting edge of the current technology. But modern games? Mostly meh, IMHO.

I still do play some modern games, but mostly if they're story based or appeal to my retro side. Things like the Drake and Last of Us series on PS3 that have a great story, or VVVVVV or Super Meat Boy which tap into the retro feelings even though they're much newer. But it's more about an original mechanic for me now - so things like Portal, and I even remember sinking over 80 hours into PixelJunk Eden (a really obscure PS3 game that barely anyone has heard of) which was maybe 10% of my total playtime on all the PS3 games I owned.

Anyway, I agree there might be a problem with your niece and nephew if they are just mindlessly doomscrolling and doing nothing else with their lives. But as long as they also have some hobbies they enjoy, it doesn't really matter if they intersect with yours. Maybe ask your grandparents what games they spent their childhoods playing and see if that's something you'd have wanted to do as a child... I'd guess it probably isn't, or else you wouldn't have spent all your times playing these games.
Same with my favorite local Thai place. I still order from there ~monthly as it's great; but I miss the lunch option.
What do you mean? IPv6 PI is common and easy to get; there's no big difference between IPv4 and IPv6 there.
Copypasting a comment into an LLM, and then copypasting its response back is not a useful contribution to a discussion, especially without even checking to be sure it got the answer right. If I wanted to know what an LLM had to say, I can go ask it myself; I'm on HN because I want to know what people have to say.

Technical Decision-Making and Alignment in a Remote Culture (2020)
This is hilariously ignorant, especially when it comes to France.

There are a ton of open source government projects from various agencies and contributing universities - from the government SSO (https://github.com/france-connect) to the Covid contact tracing and health pass management app (https://gitlab.inria.fr/stopcovid19) to the tax code to the unemployment app to a million other things (https://code.gouv.fr/sources/#/awesome). And all of them are good, usable, and (almost always) with permissive licenses.

Why hire an external vendor that has to add a profit margin, and lose the competency when that vendor changes for the next contract, or become a hostage to them? You literally can only lose.
Seems like they are targeting the side of the market where per user pricing doesn't work.
> but does the kernel then also do certificate validation for you

No, the asymmetric cryptography is all done in userspace. Then, post-handshake, symmetric cryptography (e.g., AES) is done in-kernel. This is the same way it works with TCP if you’re using kTLS.
