That's a fair point. Do you have any thoughts on how long it'll take for a decline to qualify as long term?
> ... SHA-1 ... Collusions ... will be more and more affordable.

I can put your fears on that account to rest. At current trajectory, that's not gonna happen.

While a collision has been successfully produced, that's a very far milestone away from creating a specific collision with a payload you actually want to deliver with reasonable size so any sanity check such as a multi GB file size wouldnt "accidentally" detect it through timeouts in CI or similar.

This is so far beyond our current technological capabilities and Moore's law hasn't been active for over a decade now. Sure, we've had astounding success in the GPU space, but that's still not even remotely close to the previous trajectory while on Moore's Law.
You know the difference, and probably could articulate it if you thought about it. Why poison a good human interaction and drive someone away? You don't need to treat others like that.
What browser do you use?

Hm, you’re right. I’m thinking a nearby Raspberry Pi with a camera facing the box. It uses an LLM to identify the box contents and send update messages to Kasia each morning. I’m surprised they didn’t think of this already.
Satch playing Surfing with the Alien on a cheap strat (with a cheapo effect processor):

Audio's not ideal, but it's still him with his tone and recognizably so!

Sure Strats and, sayy, Les Pauls are noticeably different but you can still play heavy stuff on a strat with minimal adjustments (Yngwie Malmsteen for one).
In 1988 I was working on a Mac software package and I remember the thrill of his returned “Customer Registration” card arriving. We had a small display cabinet and it went in there (along with Stanley Kubrik’s and as few others)

The Radio Series was the best, followed by the scripts to the radio series (more random access!)

The TV series was actually pretty good too (like a Tom Baker Doctor Who (Adams was also a Who editor/writer during that time and had access to all manner of polyurethane monster kit!))

I also loved the Dirk Gently books but I always felt like they needed more of a denouement. Every passage before the end was like a hand carved chocolate frog, and the endings were said frog hitting a publisher at speed.

That’s all the more reason to go event driven right?

If the milk needed replenishing more often, maybe polling the shelf makes more sense - hey the rate of consumption is higher today, I’ll re-order early. That high throughput optimisation doesn’t really shake out if you’re always just waiting for the replenishment event to fire.

You need the band on your tracker to be very snug or this is likely to happen. You're actually seeing the tracker move, not the heart rate.

I've seen substantial mismatches between wrist and chest strap if my tracker had any ability to wiggle. With an infinitely adjustable metal band set so there's no slack but no pressure I see a good correspondence, although I haven't put it a test as hard as rowing (my activity of choice is hiking.) But my wife absolutely doesn't like such a band, wearing a soft, loose band and using her arms her "heart rate" has gone above 200.

I have also seen an environmental effect--these days I use the chest strap sensor because if my wrist is cold (conditions just below when I would add another layer) the wrist data can go totally bonkers.

I think it would be a useful feature. For the sake of being a fun project, I didn't use CLIP because I only wanted to use models that I trained myself on a single Mac. However, to make this more useful, text search would be quite helpful.

I kinda believe Chromium is already complete enough, and government can take over it, and keep in running in maintenance mode (security fixes through possible bounties) with minimum expenses, and it will be great product: reliable, performant, secure and without corp-crap-tech.

Give me an example of cron, which doesn't support user crontabs? Let me list three that support user crontabs: (a) cronie is controlled by /etc/cron.{allow, deny}; when the latter files are not present, every user can submit cron jobs to crond. (b) One can set up Anacron within the user's home directory[1]. (c) systemd timer is another kid on the block; any user can create a systemd.timer unit.

It's about 13 combined SAT points per IQ point.
On a single SAT score, the 400-600 range corresponds to an 85-115 IQ range. On the Math+Verbal combined score, the average is 1000 and +/- 200 points is roughly +/- 15 IQ points.

It can be relatively safe with proper handling. There are independent laboratories you can send this "product" to for analysis. Often people organize group buys with some random samples tested.

Decades ago my first real job was as an IBM engineer fixing computers at a heavily unionised timber mill.

One of their many rules was that nothing could be plugged into any electrical outlet on site unless the device had been inspected and signed off by a union electrician.

In a hurry to diagnose a problem with a printer I furtively plugged my non-approved oscilloscope in to a wall outlet. But then I inadvertently grounded a power line with the scope probe and caused a circuit breaker to trip somewhere on the main board. Shit!

A pompous electrician appeared and told me they would be shutting down the entire mill (10K+ workers) while the union decided how to punish me for my rule breaking.

It took much begging and pleading before he relented. My only leverage was that the printer was also used to print pay slips and he would not have got paid that week unless I fixed the printer.
I had checked there before, just checked again, and I still only see an option for a smallish bar with the two floating options. Where there exactly?
Fair enough, but I would view China's stability independently from the evaluation of the impact of a hypothetical US collapse.

1964 and The Beatles didn't just mark a change in music. It marked a change in entertainment in general. An episode of This American Life shows this beautifully: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/281/transcript, look for "Act One, Take My Break Please."

This tells the story of a vaudeville comedy act, a husband and wife team, booked on the Ed Sullivan show, on the day that The Beatles made their American debut. They were completely blindsided. They didn't have any comprehension of what was happening until they were in the middle of it. They didn't really get it until later. The story includes an encounter with John, surreal for the juxtaposition of the ordinariness of the interaction, and the symbolism -- these two completely different eras encountering one another without any awareness of what was represented.

To push the point too far maybe, what was changing was the very sound of life in the US. You hear these old timey comedians, and they have the rapid fire delivery, the tone of voice, the corny jokes, the style that characterized vaudeville and TV sitcoms. And then you have The Beatles, ushering in something brand new (to the vast majority of Americans). I think it's the same sort of difference you see in movies: Before the mid or late 60s you had this very stylized and artificial way of speaking, often with this weird and phony "mid-Atlantic" accent. And then you had much more realistic movies and ways of speaking, e.g. anything from that era with Jack Nicholson.

Yes, actually, that's my point. Escalation is inevitable should a real war start. And it will be the United States that will have to resort to nuclear weapons to avoid a defeat.
It will work, and you could probably even say thereafter that the US won the war.
But, it will be a pyrric victory.

Then don't drink milk. You have more important things to do.
The job of the person drinking the milk presumably has nothing to do with moving cards to people's desks. The job of the office manager is literally to keep the milk stocked. When keeping the milk stocked becomes a sidequest for every other employee (who have other jobs to do), what is the office manager actually doing? Bringing the card to the office manager's desk doesn't actually sound much harder than ordering more milk. Why don't we just have the card say, "If you see this card, order more milk" with instructions for how to do that?
There is no fuel. The power plants are also old and constantly breaking.

A question for the author or anyone else who has experience in similar solutions.

Is there any good solution for discovering new content? Much of the time, I want to stick to my subscriptions, but I do enjoy content surfaced by the algorithm at least once weekly, sometimes more often. My concern in taking my viewing off-platform is twofold: 1) going to YouTube will prompt me with all the stuff I've already watched off platform, and 2) any changes to my viewing habits won't be reflected in algorithmic suggestions.

Am I making any bad assumptions or missing anything that would be useful?

As an example, I usually get conference presentations surfaced for me, but I don't track conferences to know when I should go looking for presentations. YouTube is good at surfacing these for me.
A good idea bit the visualisation ist wrong. I.e. the preview image will not be shown correctly
Saying the statute of limitations had expired ignores New York’s well-established tolling rule, which pauses the clock when a defendant is out of state—something courts upheld in this case and hundreds of others. The idea that prosecutions are politically motivated based on the opinions of a few operatives doesn’t override the legal basis for the charges, which follow existing precedent on falsifying business records to cover up a crime. If anything, failing to prosecute someone due to their political status would be the real favoritism.
if you need more to believe he is a nazi, that is ok. Most of us have seen enough to get to that conclusion.

Show HN: Basic Memory – Build a knowledge graph from Claude conversations
Basic Memory is an open-source tool that enables Claude to build and navigate a persistent knowledge graph based on your conversations. It solves the problem of lost context in AI interactions by storing knowledge in standard Markdown files on your computer.

I built this because I found myself constantly repeating information to LLMs and wanted a system where my knowledge grew naturally through conversations while maintaining complete control over my data.

Demo video: https://basicmachines.co/images/Claude-Obsidian-Demo.mp4

Key features:

- Continue conversations exactly where you left off without repetition

- All knowledge stays in local Markdown files you can edit anytime

- Works with Claude Desktop via the Model Context Protocol

- Seamless integration with Obsidian for visualization and editing

- Fully open source (AGPL)

The system works by creating structure from simple markdown patterns:

- Observations with categories: `- [category] fact #tag`

- Relations between documents: `- relation_type [[WikiLink]]` or plain `[[Wikilinks]]`

- These patterns emerge naturally during conversations

When you chat with Claude, you can simply say "Let's continue our conversation about X" and it will build context from your knowledge base, without needing to upload files every time.

GitHub: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory

Docs: https://memory.basicmachines.co/

Website: https://basicmachines.co/

Requires Claude Desktop or other MCP host and Python 3.12+

I'd love feedback from the HN community, particularly from those interested in knowledge management or AI applications.

Malicous bots are a serious issue that trouble site operators. Trying to come up with solutions to such problems doesn't mean they don't care about the web. If it allows web sites to spend less time moderating and users to spend less time reading spam that would be a win win for both parties.

Plenty of African nations are building strong private sector players.

Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Senegal, and Ghana are all building competitive local financial markets and private sector players.

There are plenty of Sub-Saharan states are remain perpetually underdeveloped, but that's ignoring plenty of foundational work happening in plenty of other African states.

The main difference is administrative capacity - some states have relatively decent bureaucracies and administrative norms, others don't.

It's up to individual countries political and economic leadership to decide which track they want to take.

I'd much prefer to deal with Pu than ClF3. Reasonable care will keep you safe around the Pu, any little flaw that you have no idea exists can unleash the ClF3 demon.

But why stop at ClF3? FOOF seems an awful lot more dangerous, you can at least cage the ClF3 demon, nobody's crazy enough to even try with FOOF. FOOF will detonate if it gets too warm (and that's at cryogenic temperature.) It will detonate if it's disturbed. It will detonate if you look at it (photosensitive, not the actual looking.) It might detonate for no reason at all.

(different person) Just eyeballing the graph, If we can attribute the entire spike to a "pulling forward" effect, then I'm guessing it might end late 2026 or so (as a gradual slope over longer period, not a hard noticeable line). Then give it a few months for stabilization / to ignore random normal fluctuations that just happen to be at that time. So without more information, early 2027 we can call it a long-term trend for certain?

Extending it back to 1995 or so like the first comment suggested would give us a few more upsets in the market to see more easily if this effect actually exists in this data. That said, their source is https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IHLIDXUSTPSOFTDEVE so that data probably doesn't exist.
Not at all. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention but the process of decoupling the USA from China is well underway. A lot of manufacturing is moving to other countries like Vietnam and Mexico. Losing access to cheap Chinese imports would be painful but mainly just for consumers. We don't rely on them for strategically important stuff, especially not for military equipment.

If there is a conflict with China then I doubt that other NATO members will play much of a role since they have no critical national interests in the Indo-Pacific region. It will mainly just be the USA with perhaps some assistance from a loose coalition of Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam, Philippines, and/or India.

Another thing that bugs me: if you have a function argument then it is copied by value, right? But it is hard to tell if the whole value is copied or not.

- structures argument: the whole structure is copied (unless you passed a pointer to the struct)

- interface? depends if the implementation is structure or pointer.

- maps: it copies just a small internal struct that is pointing to the implementation of the map.

- arrays: depends if it is a slice then copy cost is small (again, similar to maps), however an array is fully copied.

... complicated.

"The check grounding API returns an overall support score of 0 to 1, which indicates how much the answer candidate agrees with the given facts. The response also includes citations to the facts supporting each claim in the answer candidate.

Perfect grounding requires that every claim in the answer candidate must be supported by one or more of the given facts. In other words, the claim is wholly entailed by the facts. If the claim is only partially entailed, it is not considered grounded."

There's an example input and grounded output scores that shows how the model splits into claims, decides if the claim needs grounding, and the resulting entailment score for that claim in: https://cloud.google.com/generative-ai-app-builder/docs/chec...
