It's definitely the perception.

I'm originally from Brazil and have Swedish citizenship, last time I traveled with a stopover the USA I had a ESTA while completely forgetting I still had a valid visa on my Brazilian passport, going through immigration they caught up to that and asked me why I had 2 visas to the USA. I had to explain that while the immigration officer went on grilling me for reasons, I was just passing by the USA en route to visit family in Brazil, and it already made me quite uncomfortable.

Nowadays I have no idea if they would have detained me because it looked fishy to some immigration officer, at that time I was expecting I just wouldn't make the second leg of the flight and would be sent back to the EU, right now I won't ever chance passing by the USA simply because I have no idea what would happen.

I'm from South America, already a target to ICE/CBP, my B-2 expired and I would use ESTA instead, will that trigger something? No idea, I won't ever play my luck with that question in my head.
Nothing is 100% safe. Incineration is still safer and less polluting than putting lightly processed sludge into the environment.
No reason why most apps couldn’t be cloud hosted and devote all the significant local edge compute to such a digital companion.
It’s the kind of thing I think about before going to China or if I were to visit NKorea. But hasn’t this possibility of hardcore border harassment been a feature of visiting the land of the free (the US that is) for a while now? Phones confiscated and inspected etc..
> Robots.txt does absolutely apply to LLMs engines and search engines equally.

It does not. It applies to whatever crawler built the search index the LLM accesses, and it would apply to an AI agent using an LLM to work recursively, but it does not apply to the LLM itself or the feature being discussed here.

The rest of your comment seems to just be repeating what I already said:

> Whatever search index they are using, the crawler for that search index needs to respect robots.txt because it’s acting recursively. But when the user asks the LLM to look at web results, it’s just getting a single set of URLs from that index and fetching them – assuming it’s even doing that and not using a cached version. It’s not acting recursively, so robots.txt does not apply.

There is a difference between an LLM, an index that it consults, and the crawler that builds that index, and I was drawing that distinction. You can’t just lump an LLM into the same category, because it’s doing a different thing.
Degenerative AI ?

What's your point here?

Doing things yourself is hard. Doing things in a way that reuses other people's effort should be slightly easier.

Doing something that that is defined by "doing it all yourself", like growing your own veg, or, running/hosting your own website is going to be very hard.

I feel this is one of the biggest single things I have learned with age (specifically in my 30s) that has actually changed my life in a way that I believe younger me couldn't/wouldn't be able to grasp: there is no easy way to do things yourself, but that is the value in doing things yourself. Do things for yourself, not because they are easy...

> There has to be a better way.

There is another way. But any other way is either going to involve someone else doing part of it for you, or it's equally as hard.
The DOM, events, CSS, WCAG. If you want to get into TypeScript then just type and interface keywords. If you want to get into Node then it’s the library system in Nodes documentation. That is it.

Here is a practical example: https://github.com/prettydiff/wisdom/blob/master/performance...

I never mentioned build tools. You can write your own quickly, and you don’t need all the framework bullshit. That stuff is for insecure people and otherwise just slows you down.
App intents have a purpose but not anywhere nearly as impressive as AppleScript hooks.

Embarrassing. Hopefully he will be replaced.
This was my original comment:

> This is such a true, yet sad, reflection of American society.

This was your original reply:

> Doesn't everyone want to touch grass or have decent access to fresh air and sunlight? I guess if we could hypothetically build really cheap apartments deep underground, it would be sad if people didn't want to live there?

You went from 0 to hyperbole in 20 words. So I called you out.

> And given only one chance to purchase a property, and given only the choice to live in the one house with a garden or live in the one apartment of equal quality/amenity/etc for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Honestly? And what do you think the vast majority of people would choose?

You're acting like a 12 year old.

Most people chose based on location. They want to be close to stuff they need for themselves (work, necessary amenities, entertainment) and for their kids (school, necessary amenities, entertainment).

Once they've figured out the rough location(s), then they triangulate based on that.

In an ideal world, sure, everyone would have a huge mansion with a huge front and back yard, with either servants helping them with their every wish, or stores and all necessary things within 1-2 minutes of walking.

But again, we're talking about reality and compromises.

Personally I chose an apartment and many others do the same. It's not just about offices and "mad about urban density" for offices. You can't have tons of pharmacies nearby in Nowhereland. Notaries, theaters, shops, cafés, supermarkets, cinemas, clinics, hospitals, etc, etc.

As the average person, if you want the best facilities in any given area to be easily accessible, you have to live in a city. The financial math for that only works with mid to high density. It doesn't even have to be the stupid US residential skyscrapers. Mid density only requires rowhouses to begin, duplexes, stuff like that. 4 story apartment buildings are more than enough to hit densities that can sustain a very complex service economy for the locals.

In sane countries, that means living in an apartment (at least 50% of the time). Or you go the US debt-fueled route and see how that pans out in a few decades. Go check US big city budgets and their debt service evolution over the years.
I've been using the Kindle iOS application for reading ebooks for maybe 5-6 years at this point, but last month I archived+de-drm'd all my Kindle books via Calibre and have them stored locally now. Thanks Amazon for forcing me to do this sooner rather than later.

But how do people consume these books on iOS today? I have yet to find any simple and not-get-in-the-way ebook reader for iOS, anyone have any recommendations?
As Europeans look upon what is happening in the USA and think "that could not happen here..."

Please be aware that what happened in the USA was largely a product of Fox News (News Corp.)

While still in their nascent forms, the EU equivalents are Axel Springer [0] and Euronews [1]. If what happened in the USA is to be avoided in the EU, then these extremely ideological news publishers must be tarred and feathered as soon as possible. Avoiding the path of the "post-truth" USA [2] is the greatest task of our time.

Reading this in the UK, I'm not sure if "walking to school on your own" is supposed to be a safe or unsafe reference point.

I thought that children walking to school is unthinkable in the US because everything is designed for cars and public transit is inadequate/nonexistent. Made worse by endless suburbia stretching for miles. Someone please prove me wrong...
Have you tried repeatedly? I got Santa to read the "gorilla warfare" copypasta on my second try.
I can definitely buy a gift for people. I also want to take them to taxpayer-funded institutions.
And furthermore, the government on Taiwan (ROC) is the one that lost the civil war for China. They still claim all of China as their territory (and actually a bit more than the PRC). Even the US officially accepts Taiwan is a part of China.

Majority public opinion in Taiwan is still that it’s a part of China (however that is defined), although that is slowly changing.

I'm honestly not sure what or why you are arguing, if you say it happened before then yes no one said the contrary, several countries are now saying the threshold to go from "a bit longer interrogation" to "straight up detention like a criminal" has become much lower and thus we are much more likely to be impacted, and if you disagree with that when then again it doesn't really matter because it's a travel advice by a non US gov to their non US citizen based on their evaluation, feelings and online rhetoric don't matter into that, though you are of course free of having your own opinion
I’ve had similar unexpected experiences recently while searching for a software developer role. I found this article very interesting in that regard: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engineer-jobs-fi...

It could just be a phase, especially with the potential rethinking of IT infrastructure and dependencies on US products in Europe. However, the recent economic uncertainty in the US doesn’t help either. That said, there are still plenty of digitization needs worldwide that will continue for a long time.

In my opinion, it’s always best to apply to companies directly. Online maps have been a great and effective search tool for me.

I absolutely love this app. It manages my whole digital library with hundreds of ebooks and pdf books. And its developer Kovid Goyal is very responsive. Have reached out to him several times in the forums, he answers questions, fixes bugs fast. And he releases updates every week I think.

Zotero and Calibre are my most important tools for managing my digital books and reading material.
> Unhindered immigration was part of the recipe of success for approx. 92% of the lifetime of the US. What changed?

They got extra-greedy and fascist.
The whole point of preclearance is that there is no border control on arrival into the US, you exit the airport like you were coming off a domestic flight.

Have you tried the built-in Books app on iOS? I find it to be a simple book reader that allows for ePub files to be opened from the Files app without having to sync them manually using something like a Mac.
About two years post-seizure, the bureau returned Martin's money—shortly after she filed a nationwide class-action lawsuit. But while the bureau may have hoped that would persuade her to drop it, she has continued with her suit, which was back in court last week and seeks a ruling that will prevent the FBI from proceeding with others as it did with her.

Hero.
Kind of tangent, but it is often surprising what order the future arrives in.

From the perspective of 1960, early "robots" were expected to be physically capable and mentally feeble. Good at logic. Capable of making a sandwich. Weak at empathy and whatnot.

Even from the perspective of 2025... most people don't understand how slowly robotics has advanced. Human-level performance at laundry folding remains a distant dream. Empathy is increasingly trivial.

So Siri.. and voice UIs generally. The bottlenecks have been in unexpected places.

In general, we just don't have very good UI paradigms for voice. Voice recognition is finally good. LLMs theoretically add a lot of capability. But... there just isn't a great UI.

It's like trying to use a smartphone with a nipple mouse instead of touch. You can slowly hack your way to making specific tasks/features work... but there is no radiation event where lots of tasks become possible.
Kobo Sync as it's called in the documentation (https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/wiki/Kobo-Integratio...) works very well, and is very easily enabled (updating a single line in a config file on the ereader that appears when you mount it on your computer).

It will convert books to Kepub automatically and you can select to only sync certain shelfs.
I like that as marketing copy.

My brother's a carpenter, and I pushed him in the same direction. "Here's our contact details, and here's a link to the instagram where we post pictures of the cool stuff we make". I think of it as a digital business card.

Yes and no. The vast majority of commercial flights what would have landed at Heathrow today won't be landing at a different London airport instead. There isn't spare, redundant capacity for that. Instead the flights will be cancelled.

Show HN: I built a tool to quickly connect APIs to LLMs like OpenAI models
Hi everyone. After months of work I built Interlify (www.interlify.com) - a tool to help developer quickly turn their backend APIs into LLM callable tools so that the APIs can be connected to LLMs in minutes.

I built this tool because in my side project in 2024, I was struggled with the time-consuming and boring process of integrating a online shopping website backend APIs into a chatbot as customer service AI.

I felt there should be a easier and quicker way to achieve this, may be with less coding, flexible API access management. That was the born of Interlify.

Here is a simple demo explaining how it works: https://app.supademo.com/demo/cm89cf8j200425k0iegizgjjy?step...

I hope this tool could be useful to others (I am not quite sure though).

It's just the beginning and it may have some defects or bugs. Would love your feedbacks. Thank you!

Eric
The frontend space will surely change to accomodate AI.

We may go back to pre-framework days if we don't need that much complexity anymore. If we start to rely on AI Summaries we won't need complex interactions. Just beautiful charts to explain data.
Same. Either open directly from Files, or drag the books(s) you’re currently reading to it so it’s easier to open and find.
> Nobody outside of Apple has any expectations on it.

Well, apparently some people have at least some expectations, after Apple pushed ads touting Siri's new abilities (and Apple AI) but failed to launch them on time, and now Apple been hit with a federal lawsuit against them: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/20/apple-suit-false-advertisin...

> It's a city that is at least 10 years ahead of anything I've seen in the US.

Being very honest, traveling in the USA feels like I'm traveling back to the late 90s/early 2000s, every city feels a bit tired. It's not the West, it's the US.
You should try traveling to Singapore illegally and breaking the laws there. See how "BS" your own countries policies are.

Canadian entered to work without a valid visa, as the article states, her visa had been revoked in November and she was aware of this - she should have arranged a visa at an overseas consulate before crossing the border

German backpacker was detained for hours not days

German tattoo artist arrived with a tourist visa with supplies for working

German fiancé — not a normal tourist case but yes this seems to have been a mistake by CPB

Again, the conditions and duration of detention are absurd but normal tourists are not being detained for days
Yeah, I've seen that. It's been well documented that they are slipping into authoritarianism, nationalism and even a dictatorship. Free speech is not really in place anymore. I was just not very well informed about how civil liberies for trans people look, specifically. Whether the country is safe to travel to for conferences being the issue at hand. I see on Wikipedia that Orban has ended "legal recognition of transgender Hungarians", which I guess is probably significative of the trend, if nothing else.
Arguing for border changes based on history can justify any border change. It's not functionally any different from "might makes right" because the invaded is unlikely to agree with that historical interpretation, nor are outside observers.

If you have a reason based system for determining what is right or wrong, then you would have to look at what the citizens in Taiwan want otherwise you are violating people who committed no crimes against China and are experiencing threats to their way of life.

You are literally talking about killing people for their land.

You're on a forum that's largely American. Read the declaration of independence and see if it's confusing to you why an American would want to help Taiwan. The french helped us with our own independence. By the same logic America still belongs to the British. Any papers involved may as well just be "historical documents that no longer have any practical significance."
He mean "desktop grade" hardware. Something that you might compile an entire distro on.

Those are all SBCs, and slow ones at that. Nobody is compiling an entire Linux distro on something like a Raspberry Pi 3.
I feel this to be a balanced headline if we put on an editor’s hat: The subject of the sentence is "China." From China’s standpoint, Taiwan was always theirs. Hence, from this viewpoint, it is a "reclaim."
I was wondering how Hans got it to work. All the groups.io threads and I couldn't find a simple explanation.

> Why does that bother you though?

It leads to scrum culture, because you need accountability for the people that aren’t self-motivated enough to proceed with work without extrinsic motivation (their ideal situation is nothing to do but still get paid).

That’s my theory anyway. Previously the assumption seems to have been that the nerd was gonna nerd, and the only thing you sometimes needed to do was reign them in.

Tangentially related - I recently picked up a retro gaming handheld from Aliexpress for the meagre sum of £50, which is capable of playing consoles from gameboy to snes to playstation 1, and apparently even a smattering of N64 and dreamcast (with poor performance).

There are a dizzying array of options (game boy form factor, horizontal, clamshell design ala the advance SP), and although I'm sure the build quality leaves a lot to be desired, for my personal circumstances of "I'm travelling a lot but can't quite justify a steam deck right now" it has truly been an utter delight. There's a scene of various custom firmwares to install, and apps for these firmwares to add various functionality.

I'd encourage anyone who feels a desire to play some emulated games check out /r/SBCGaming to see what's out there!

Just don't ignore the warnings that these devices don't negotiate USB C charging correctly, and also buy yourself a very small weak charger...

Thing is that music trends are (indeed) only trends and expected to not last centuries, and that the steam engine is arguably inferior to what came after. What the "build your own website" crowd posits is that what we have now is factually inferior and dehumanizing.

I agree that there's a lot of misguided prose about the whys and hows of such a revival, but trying to make the web fun again for the small part of the population interested enough to put in some elbow grease is worth it, in my opinion.

It's not trying to change the world, it's trying to build a small "indomitable Gauls village" style community.
