There is one more aspect of Kagi assistant that I don't see discussed here. I'd love to support some "mass tipping jar" service and/or "self hosted agent" that would benefit site owners after my AI actions spammed them.

You can simply just pass it a direct link to some data, if you feel it's more appropriate. It works amazingly well in their multistep Ki model.

It's capable of creating code that does analysis I asked for with moderate amount of issues (mostly things like it used the wrong file extracted from .zip, but it's math/code is in general correct). Scraps url/downloads files/unarchives/analyses content/creates code to produce result I asked/runs that code.

This is the first time I really see AI helping me do tasks I would otherwise not attempt due to lack of experience or time.
I hire remote programmers in multiple countries. I absolutely know that they’re as good as we are.

I promise you that capitalists aren’t really concerned with time differences.
It's interesting how we always take pictures of the wrong things. The treasure of this collection is he took pictures of things that other photographers thought were uninteresting.

Like everyone takes pictures of Disneyland. But who takes random street scene photos?

Once around 1988 or so my dad and I just drove around running his video camera. It's interesting now as the there's been enormous change. I wish I'd done this in downtown Seattle, as it has all been redeveloped. The old Seattle is gone.
" (maybe)"
It’s usually more important for official documentation to be accurate, not for it to match appearance. Many people appear younger or older than they are, but it would be bizarre to put apparent age on a passport. The document is supposed to act as the ground truth. Passports don’t currently contain a gender marker, so maybe that could be campaigned for.
> big doubt on that and maybe that's a good thing? Let's be honest, right now most of the web is dominated by low effort spam.

I think that is funny considering it is likely going to have the exact opposite effect.

Low effort blog spam is cheap to make. And it is often part of content marketing strategies where brand visibility is all that matters, so not much harm if the viability is directly on your site or in an AI chatbit interface.

Quality content on the other hand is hard to make. And there are two groups of people who make such content:

1. individuals or small groups that like to share for the sake of sharing. They likely won’t care about the AI crawlers stealing their content, although I think there is a big overlap between people who still run blogs and those who dislike AI.

2. small organizations that are dedicated to one specific topic and are often largely ad financed. These organizations would likely stop to exist in such an AI search dominated world.

> Especially since website hosting is close to being free these days.

It is under specific circumstances. The problem is that those AI crawlers don’t check by once in a while like Google does but instead they hit the site very frequently. For a static site this won’t be much of an issue except for maybe bandwidth. For more complex sites like - say - the GitLab instances for OSS projects, reality paints a different picture

Games back then were a bit of a dark art...

I feel like I don't really encounter stories of heroics in making games work on their hardware anymore. Even at the end of PS1 with Final Fantasy their hand drawn backgrounds were too big to fit into VRAM iirc

Or in the PS2 era Jak and Daxter using the principle of hot reloading from lisp to figure out open worlds without loading screens
Disgusting asshole of a president.
This was my first thought.

My second thought is, UK infra is crumbling so bad, this is really most likely just business as usual...
> decoupled from the horrors of an unreliable network

There's no such thing as reliable network in the world. The world is network connected, there's almost no local-only systems anymore (for a long long time now).

Some engineers dream that there's some cases when network is reliable, like when a system fully lives in the same region and single AZ. But even then it's actually not reliable and can have some glitches quite frequently (like once per month or so, depending on some luck).

They wanted to drop support because they didn't have the hardware. Now that they have access to the hardware and not dropping support, I am not sure if it matters much.

The public doesn't have access to RISC-V hardware and it won't have access anytime soon.

The problem to be solved seems availability of the hardware, not support from a small Linux distribution. It's not like we can go to Hetzner and rent a RISC-V server or go to AWS and provision a RISC-V VM.

And the availability will only improve if there is enough demand from the market to build such hardware. The EU and China wanting to be less dependant on US tech might help here.

Of course, RISC-V hardware should be on par on perf/price with x86 and ARM to tempt someone to switch.
> websites and apps should be explicitly required to ask permission when they send your data somewhere to tell you where they send your data and who will get to see it, store it, and with what conditions

The first part is somewhat infeasible, because your IP is sent by just visiting the page in the first place. And I think the second part is what a privacy policy is.

It might be more helpful to make it mandatory to have your privacy policy be one page or less and in plain english, so people might read them for the services they use often.

> This is a _very_ low hanging fruit anyone with a couple of dgx h100 servers can solve in a month and is a real world problem that needs solving.

I am not convinced it is a low hanging fruit, it's something that is super easy for humans but not trivial for machines, but you are right that it is being neglected by many. I work for speechmatics.com and we spent a significant amoutn of effort over the years on it. We now believe we have the world's best real-time speaker diarization system, you should give it a try.
And no company pays them enough to even cover the living expenses.
Presumably efficient ICE and hybrids have cost even more, given the US's sluggishness in adopting EVs and it being based on fuel sales.
This is a fascinating read as someone who is currently working on migrating CI platforms. We deal with hundreds of internal repos where many CI platforms just don't scale well. We are probably going to choose Github Actions because it looks like the simplest, least-BS option. The problems the author mentions would be the least of our concerns.

Totally agree with other comments saying to keep as much logic out of CI config as possible. Many CI features are too convoluted for their own good. Keep it really simple. You can use any CI platform and have a shit time if you don't take the right approach.
Then there's a different tail chase that's on the opposite side of "innovation" - whether doing the obvious thing others are doing, but achieving wider reach because of more funding, counts as innovation, or just popularization?

(To me personally, it's popularization, but in startup economy, it's pretty much the definition of "innovation".)

At least they don’t issue you a visa and then arbitrarily detain you at the border.

That idea is idiotic, if not automated. People already shun everything attached with a workload inflicted by security or legal. It needs to be auto-negotiated thing, where if the negotiations do not work out, the service just does not work.

That way, it-administration in security environs can override the negotiation settings. At lot of things would cease to work in a lot of companies, instantly though.

You are right, they did. Let me rephrase it: The F-35 purchase is about having a multi role platform in the next 10 years to have nuclear and SEAD mission capability.
The search phones in Australia, they also absolutely do it in Europe. As in the U.S., not everyone is getting their devices searched. Travelers to Europe even get denied entry as well — but their home country’s foreign minister doesn’t typically get involved.

The UK will deny entry over social media posts.

Let’s just please be factual.

> Most HN commentators on China always devolve into the same argument about how China's government subsidizes EVs and stolen IP. Meanwhile, every advantage China has in engineering prowess, supply chain management, decades planning ahead, and ruthless competition are completely ignored.

Those statements are not exclusive--they can all be true.

At the same time, because HN IS better engaged with sort of thing, they can ALSO plainly see with their own two eyes when "The Party" yanks the chain on a Jack Ma or Naomi Wu. They are fully aware of incidents like Huawei stealing Cisco software to the point of duplicating bugs. They have worked with some brilliant Chinese engineers--but they have also seen how much many of those engineers wanted to get out from under that system. etc. etc.

I can have conflicted feelings that I would dearly love to see BYD completely splatter the arrogant, complacent, ossified US carmakers while not being happy that the result would irretrievably destroy large chunks of US industrial production and engineering and benefit a governmental regime that I very much distrust.

HN has its faults, but they are likely to be some of the best educated about China--both the good and bad points--from personal experience.
Yes, I know. I am only asking why we don't do it and why we didn't do it until now.
It’s funny how you have hard facts backed by citation, and the other poster has nothing but vibes and anecdotes. I don’t know if you convinced him, but you certainly make a compelling case for everyone else reading this exchange.
Generally, no, as a principle. You don’t want to learn things in chronological order, you want to learn them in intrinsic ness order, to the extent it is feasible. If you really want to learn computing, start from scratch. Go from logic gates to building logic boards to cpu architecture, assembly, and then programming. That will allow you to pick up arbitrary skills in a compounding way.
What makes it so that some people/cultures seem to value age over anything else? If their lives continue to be miserable, broken inside, violent temper thanks to being treated like a slave, a long life to me sounds more like a punishment than a goal.

It's basically a religious war. One side seems to think they need to "break people's spirit" by "work camps", the other side seems to believe in "healing from violence" by compassion. You're free to pick your side, but it's going to get harder to switch, and the other side will treat you as their enemy.

That value and cost-factory is likely a higher multiple when talking about infrastructure. If everyone had to pay for Windows (or a similar OS) instead of Linux and numerous other systems (PostgreSQL, OpenLDAP, Nginx, ...) our costs for hosting services would move up at least an order of magnitude.
The USA will go to war with China if the people want it or not. They will likely start a provoked or false flag proxy war with China where China takes all the blame and sanctions, then or before they destabilise the Middle East and resources going to China.

Normally their strategy would have worked out nicely but they failed miserably with the proxy war in Ukraine, mostly because of the 2016 presidential election of Trump instead Hillary which messed up the preparations and gave Putin time to figure out what was going on. That’s one reason why Trump got so much hate from within US.

The situation looks different today and there is a possibility that USA will lose their leading role in the world.
What are you even talking about?

robots.txt is not a security mechanism, and it doesn’t “control bots.” It’s a voluntary convention mainly followed by well behaved search engine crawlers like Google and ignored by everything else.

If you’re relying on robots.txt to prevent access from non human users, you’re fundamentally misunderstanding its purpose. It’s a polite request to crawlers, not an enforcement mechanism against any and all forms of automated access.

> tech workers are currently treated well

I’m sorry, but you must not be paying attention to the current climate. To name one example, Facebook just laid off many workers and explicitly labeled them “low performers”.

Tech companies have already been caught colluding to suppress wages. They are sending as many jobs as they can overseas, and bringing in even more h1b workers.

It is clear to anyone that’s paying attention that they are doing their best to damage our negotiating position so that they no longer have to treat us well (read: fairly)
Locally synced databases seem to be a new trend. Another example is Turso, which works by maintaining a sort of SQLite-DB-per-tenant architecture. Couple that with WASM and we’ve basically come full circle back to old school desktop apps (albeit with sync-on-load). Fat client thin client blah blah.
This is a prosecution from under the previous administration.
These people obviously know what government agencies can see and are capable of (both domestic and foreign). But they cannot fathom that the massive apparatus of surveillance and control would be directed towards themselves.

Apologists don’t consider this torture. This type of treatment of innocent prisoners has been common for decades in America.
> the bottleneck is imagination itself. It's incredible.

You don't understand what that means. That means your soul's worth is measured with more precision and accuracy. That conjoined to free market economy implicates that individuals and groups of people producing less can be more openly considered to be objectively less human.

I don't personally care, but that's not... It seem to me that vast majority of people around here already don't exactly like what the Internet had always rewarded, nor how fast it's evolving, nor where it's headed. I think that accelerating that only accelerates that, and I suspect it might not exactly be what you would reflect on positively later.

In the original post about dropping RISC-V support chimera Linux mentions that this existing hardware is too slow realistically use for build machines. They specifically mention the JH7110 which powers the framework board and the spacemit k1/m1 that powers the DC Roma laptop.

So yeah there is hardware available but expect raspberry pi 3 or lower levels of performance.
I really think you have got a point, I'd add however that reading is more cognitive effort than watching a video, at a basic level (that is, information in the text or video put aside).

Just see how hard it is to read more than a few paragraphs when tired before bed vs. how hard it is to watch something in the same state.

I think this gets added to the point you are making about reading skills declining.

That seems reasonable and pretty close to GDPR.
It's because you would need open source ICs for that, and that'd a whole complex multinational tool chain.

The modules you speak of exist, they're ICs. Most electronics now are just ICs and traces on a board. The real challenge is the IC tool chain is very complex and very not open.

It would do no good to have open source modules that are just traces and then a bunch of closed source ICs. This is what Sparkfun, adafruit, etc. do. It's great for engineers and hobbiests but it doesn't get to the root of the value you propose.

The real value is in the ICs, those are the magic modules you speak of that need to be open source.

Getting that to happen is a whole thing. Like getting ExxonMobil to share their oil rig designs.
