From hanging out on [new] and seeing what gets flagged and what doesn't.

Flagging is just a 100x powerful downvote button that is getting abused by folks that want to change the narrative. I don't know what the karma value is for flagging, but it should be raised and flags should come out of a leaky bucket.

> I'd like to see your concrete evidence for that claim.

Please with the language.
The entire FOSS creed is just giving people permission to create things without the fear of someone coming along and stealing all of their work/art for profit.

Sure, people can come along and make money off of it, but they can't steal it. It's unstealable. Therefore, you're free to create.
Only if you think forums, 4chan or whatnot from ye olden days are also "social media". HN has no friends feature, no curated algorithm, no way to discover creators...
The charitable version of this is that to reconcile all the holes, we in fact need radically new and different mathematical underpinnings that aren't currently on the horizon. I don't know how that could be true; certainly any new foundation would have to reduce to something very like the current theories under already-studied conditions. If it is, though, we might be on a really big local maximum, and the path off of it might look really weird and nonsensical for a long time (which is why I can't quite bring myself to fully dismiss Stephen Wolfram, for instance :D).

Wow! You ended up building a not-so-small piece of today's internet. Congrats.

Edit: one question I have for you: besides the "sliding door" moment of dropping the lawyer career and choosing another one, what convinced you to abandon a law career entirely? Most other lawyers would have sticked there.
Your beef isn’t with landlords, it’s with the single-family homeowners in your area who use every available legal and extralegal angle to block any new construction, because “it would change the neighborhood character”. They fuck you over and get to absolve themselves of blame and guilt by talking about evil developers and landlords as a smokescreen to keep you from seeing that they are the problem.
It's not the LLM but the current generation of coding tools that need to be adjusted/tweaked to deal with em, yes.
idk to me bottom 20% is a household thing more so than geographic if you live in Ghana or Nigeria but grew up driving a Maybach or BMW that would't apply if you grew up homeless in the US it would

perhaps ancedotal but the bottom 20% more or less stay the same across generations no matter how welcoming an organization is or no matter if an individual is bright or
has a good idea
Obviously you can't keep that margin forever, but the counter argument would be that NVDA could just sell more chips if they had to accept smaller margins. You could see them making more affordable graphics cards, put more emphasis on AI at the edges, like in mobile devices or computers. And also everybody thinks about robotics as these fancy bipeds. What about sticking visual recognition in a garage door or kitchen appliances. There will be lots of applications if the chips were cheap.

The stock is overpriced but I think the company will be OK.
The Truth About Tuna
Cool! Let us know how it goes would love to see you in the contributors :)
The magic number isn't about recognizing specific versions. That's just an added benefit if you choose to add that to the magic number.

It is to solve the problem of how to build a file manager that can efficiently recognize all the file types in a large folder without relying on file name extensions.

If you don't include a magic number a file manager would need to attempt to parse the file format before it can determine which file type it is.
Apart from keeping your code tidy and succinct, there's also third party extensions like https://scratchaddons.com/addons/ which can make writing code much more enjoyable - notably the `middle-click-popup`, `folders`, and `editor-devtools`. There's also an entire Debugger addon, which lets you log stuff, set breakpoints, see running threads.. Scratch Addons is awesome.
What value do you provide then?

If you can outsource all of the effort to other businesses, but you still make a profit, then you're essentially just a tax on top of the service.
Same here, I was ready to replace 8-10 echo with them in a heartbeat if it was even close to the Echo but it's not quite there yet. I hope v2 is good enough as I'd love to remove the echo's but they are too convenient currently.
There's more shadiness behind Tesla's autopilot/FSD history...

- Actually, blatantly faking videos of Tesla FSD.

- Elon claiming unsupervised NY to LA would be possible by end of 2016 (almost 10 years ago).

- Elon claiming all cars sold today (years ago) have required hardware to become robotaxis.

- Tesla salesmen of the past telling customers their cars were investments because they would become robotaxis that would make money.

Theranos lasted 15 years, so I'm surprised $TSLA is being called this early.

As someone who personally knows people in the industry, I'm pretty confident in saying that TSLA will never actually deliver any type of robust, safe autonomous driving system. The organization itself is just not capable of it anymore.

All that are left are people trying to game metrics and not get fired, that type of culture just can't produce it.
It's a higher quality article than half the submissions to NeuroIPS and the rest of the AI/ML conferences, because it has potential to remain relevant next year, and because of its high didactic content.
I wouldn't classify it as a "hot take".

I encounter this every time there is an Apple hardware release and I try to buy on the phone, and pay with Apple Pay.

They’ll have lost shipping and billing address and I have to laboriously type it in again before I can pay for it.

Sometimes I will have purchased from them, the very prior week, sending to the same address they now lost.

How a trillion dollar company cannot figure out the most basic functionality of an online shop I don’t know.
I think there are backup systems. I sometimes walk by the Cloudflare SF offices on weekends and it looks like the lava lamps are off.
I was in my late-20s when the bubble burst. There was a palpable sense of "the sky is falling". A lot of not-so-technical people quit (or were let go from) tech jobs to become real estate agents.

One person that really helped me through all the doom-and-gloom was Phillip Kaplan, a.k.a. Pud. Seriously. He ran a site called "Fucked Company", which poked fun at the stupidity of big dotcom companies with questionable business models. The site was funny and all, but what really helped me was how Pud ran a successful web site that made money, by himself, with no Super Bowl ads or anything else. It reinforced to me that a successful business could be run on the web/internet, despite what all the doom-and-gloomers were saying. I knew the web wasn't dead thanks, in part, to Pud and "Fucked Company".
>Isn't the ability to deal with broken pipes literally part of your job as a landlord? It's like buying a restaurant when you don't like to cook and don't like to process orders - why would you do that?

Because you want to make money. You hire someone to do that shit for you, and you sit back and cash checks.

Most people who own restaurants don't like to cook or process orders, either.
I think I'd always call an ambulance if it is what I perceive as a life threatening situation. Actually I did it once. You can't give CPR to your kids while driving. I also think calling the other parent would be way below in term of priority than making sure my kid stays alive so I think I would call only when ER specialists or at least paramedics have taken charge of them and that may be some hospital clerk doing it for me if I have to be available to give information about medical history.

If you look at ebay, there are hundreds of people selling libreoffice downloads. They probably only sell a few of them, but still, it's money for nothing as long as your advertisements can get people to give you cash, and it's not illegal even if it is dubiously moral.

At the same time, some people are putting the files on flash drives or CD-Roms and mailing them, and that at least is a service attached to the product and adds value.
> For what it's worth uv is fully compatible with pip

Depends what you mean by "fully": https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/compatibility/

There's a number of places pip and uv diverge:

* uv makes some design choices that aren't always strictly compatible with the spec

* uv correctly implements the spec and it turns out pip, or the underlying library, didn't (I have worked on fixing a couple of these on the pip side)

* uv doesn't support legacy features still in pip

* Tool specific features or exact output diverge

This is not a criticism, but I've seen some users get irate with uv because they were under the impression that it was making much stronger compatibility guarantees.
"Whereever they see them" implies to me that it's not a systematic solution that is ever able to scale unless they scale their "leadership" the same way.
Absolutely, that's important too, thanks.
Show HN: I built this app to (try to) organize long Hacker News discussions
I love reading HN discussions, to the point that i usually don't even read the original article (shame on me), but i've always felt like i was missing a lot when discussions reach 100+ comments.

At some point, with hundreds of comments, it starts to get a bit messy, it's difficult to keep up with everything being commented and i fell like i'm probably missing a lot.
So i built this app to get a more structured view of the discussion.
This article doesn't do justice to the book when calling it "plenty fluff". A bulleted list is abridging beyond the point of usefulness. Just read the original instead of what this person distilled for themselves.
I like this approach.

But can you safely do this with multi room devices?
The lcpdedrm script is, if I remember correctly, only suitable for Profile 1.0, which has since been replaced with the newer 2.0 version.
I really don't understand the anti-landlord sentiment. Folks seem to get this idea that your average landlord has no costs, takes on no risk, and just sails away with the rent they collect every month and spend it on a lavish vacation.

Newsflash but buying property introduces significant costs, complexity and risk. By renting you simply choose to pay a monthly fee to a business that will provide you that same property but will take on all that risk instead of you.
There's not a high chance that this piece of history will be lost "forever", it will just remain as a HN comment.

I wonder what would be the best way to harvest these and add them to, say, a wikipedia page. I'm pretty sure it's something that you could decently do with an LLM.
They are not designed to cause hearing damage and the link I posted saying as much is a from a physicians org for human rights.

This is interesting because I remember interviewing a UX manager candidate at Google around 2019 who was coming from the Alexa team at Amazon, and his feedback even then was that Alexa was never going to be profitable and that he -- and many others -- were trying to get out while the getting was good. It, just like Google Assistant, is just suffering a very slow death.
On the contrary, I LOVE using esp-idf via vscode in my hobby project. I was a lifelong Arduino IDE person but I find it clunky after this.
The argument is that pre-caulk, the aestetics of a building came in pert due to design requirements. Those designs requirements disappeared post-caulk, as you can just fill gaps between any 2 panes with caulk. And with all things, we seem to regress to the lowest common denominator.
> She is often wrong, both in magnitude and direction.

Since even the one of the authors of the paper agree with her I'd say she's probably not wrong this time.
> because the idea that one can make revolutionary discoveries that contradicts the status quo as an outsider is an inherently attractive idea

This might be satisfying if you have a grievance with the "institution" but to OP's point its also interesting because we often limit our areas of exploration to what is conventionally accepted. If you are ignorant of convention you are more likely to retread ground, but less likely to be bounded by it. As you say, conventional wisdom is conventional because its pretty dang good, so this doesn't often pay off.

>Population is still rising to fast.

Says who? Malthusianism was canceled decades ago. Housing might be scarce, but that's due to political factors, not some sort of resource limitation. There's plenty of land to build with in the US.
24/7 lighting of prisoners so they can't sleep is torture, unless it's the American police and they need to keep the lights on for 'safety'.

Electro shock torture is illegal... unless it's the cops using a taser to get a desired behavior/compliance.

Police use > legally defined torture/war crimes.
LLMs are interest case, but they are nearly flat. Neural system of mammals is structured, as I understand, neocortex consists of about 100 millions structures each ~ 100x400 neurons, something like this. Anyway, just from calculation of human thinking delay appear human NN is just about 500 layers.

Second difference, natural I are feed-forward network, not back propagated as typical AI NN, because natural use some chemical method to "calculate" parameters.

I think, with right structure and some FF method, GAI is already technically achieved.

PS FF NN already exist, but problem that it now using classical method of differential equations which is prohibiting real use, because too much computation need.
Choosing Optimism about iOS 19
An example, which is interesting, in which "deep" networks are necessary, is discussed in this fascinating and popular recent paper on RNNs [1]. Despite the fact that the minGRU and minLSTM models they propose don't explicitly model ordered state dependency, they can learn them as long as they are deep enough (deep >= 3):

> Instead of explicitly modelling dependencies on previous states to capture long-range dependencies, these kinds of recurrent models can learn them by stacking multiple layers.

This is far less of a problem than it would be in a C-like language, though.

You can implement that linked list just once, audit the unsafe parts extensively, provide a fully safe API to clients, and then just use that safe API in many different places. You don't need thousands of project-specific linked list reimplementations.
If it silently crashed and started to output a static number, would this affect any systems negatively?
(OP here) I discussed how the DRM works in an earlier blog post - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/03/some-thoughts-on-lcp-ebook-...

Essentially, the key for decrypting the files is made up of the book owner's passphrase and the super-secret key embedded in the closed-source binary.

I wasn't able to reverse engineer the binary or extract that key.
Check out the link I posted. It’s from a physicians group focused on human rights.

If you're out in public and using public websites to organize protests, it's a given that data will be mined about that.

The trick is to make it unattractive for those doing the enforcing to act upon their analysis of that data.
The framework already exists, it says to return the product and ask for a refund.

You can claim detrimental reliance though, but it's a stretch and bad faith imo. Try your luck with a judge and attorney fees
110% this. Resist the urge to make changes until everything is moved over. Any system 'enhancements' may also be viewed as bugs/defects, and reduces trust, requiring lengthier validation.
Chasing followers makes crypto traders perform worse on social investment sites
Data centers are filled with loud fans that scream 24/7. I would think plugging in a microphone to servers and using that to seed entropy would be a more scalable and portable solution than cameras looking at lava lamps or water in the office miles away.

There has to be some code that already does that.
I just tried this, thinking that I was "holding it wrong" and no - it still doesn't work. It says it doesn't know where I live.

Implib.so: POSIX equivalent of Windows DLL import libraries
As much as I'd like to agree, nationwide the prices of housing has skyrocketed. In the last 5 years, there's been a 50% increase in home prices where now $450,000 is the median home price.

Can it be that the issue you're describing explains what's happening in every single state? Has development stalled all across the USA (and abroad) simply due to regulation?
Not sure what you mean, but nobody I know of referred to the 4ft long servers as pizza boxes. Because the name sort of implied it was something small enough to throw on a desk and stack stuff on.
You read the article, listened to the stories, and looked at the pictures, right? This is obviously the only source of income for many of those people. They're economically trapped and you're just happy to sell them e-bikes and pretend that it materially improved their conditions.

Oh, but it's greenwashing nonsense, so everyone turns off their critical reasoning skills, and pretends it's a secret virtue that they do so. This place has moved so far away from the hacker ethic that it blows my mind. What a pointless set of discussions and a false social pressure to never think beyond the guidelines set out in the article. Oh and you've got a side wide hall monitor to yell at you if you ever do.

Blech.
And then, 20 years later, I meet a kid on the local playground who claims to be the son of one of the Cloudflare co-founders or CTO. I was thinking, wait, isn't JGC in Britain, not Boise? Even though the kid was visibly disappointed that I'm bearish on nVidia and LLMs, he strained my understanding of how puts work in stock trading. So that amusing conversation, sporadically interrupted by loading and unloading my toddler from the swingset, encouraged me to get more familiar with the broader investment market, beyond the simple kid invest products I've been working on the past four years. So thanks for that proverbial push on the swings, Cloudflare kid!

You are describing "validation": the process of verifying that your spec really says what you mean.
And many companies like to have a portfolio of both, or an offer at least from the closest competitor. Tim at Apple for example played this game for decades to make sure he always received competitive prices for parts. They tried to pull it off with modems and it backfired badly. So they built their own. But if QC was to play really nice with companies like Apple and Samsung etc, they could actually maintain their moat. But then good management is another important requirement which is a problem here.

> Abstract conceptual thinking cannot be separated from our language ability

1. Clearly false (what words do you use when you plan to throw a ball to a target?)

2. There is no reason to believe other animals are incapable of abstract thinking (although we can clearly see they are far less intelligent)

3. I don't know what your long screed about bigotry and religion has to do with language ability

Just imagine how slow university-level maths would be if you had to do all the thinking in words in your head.

Sorry if I sound rude, but this is such a common misconception people believe in, and it's so blatantly not true so I'm baffled people keep on claiming it is 'scientific' to believe that language is identical to intelligence. No wonder some people insist LLMs are just weeks away from becoming AGIs.
