I mean, I get it. Priorities can also affect things. I'm in a similar situation at work where the manager is pushing to get a project out as fast as possible at the expense of testing and even basic planning. It's only serving to make things much worse because all of the short sighted decisions are causing all kinds of new problems that could have been avoided entirely

Sometimes it's easier to adopt better practices when moving to another team or project altogether
> If I substitute "AI" with "a system that Google's information", you get the same result. In fact, even if you were to have a human search the unverified sources you can have the same result.

Isn't Arm now venturing into the product, rather than just specification, market and so this acquisition could help Arm?
LLMs are already trained on a lot of dubious sources (for example Quora and Reddit) so it seems your theoretical concern is already controlled for to some extent.

You’re also giving far too much credit to how much a single piece of information can poison a model’s output.

To me, the more realistic concern would be deliberately shifting and censoring an LLMs output at training to adhere to an agenda be it political or vindictive (see DeepSeek.)
> You also can’t sue for defamation, since everything ChatGPT says is prefaced by this can be false. This would hold true for a person.

No? In many countries simply going 'it was a joke' or 'I was simply lying' isn't a defense for defamation. Even here in the US in particularly exceptional circumstances it's not a defense (see: Alex Jones).

The outcome is likely to be that companies are going to be held liable for what their models say. Much like how Air Canada was ordered to pay up after their chatbot lied.
Agree that this is a much better summary, and generally gets to the point much better with relatively clear summaries of the issues. Once you get down to the mid-section, the NYT notably has a somewhat clearer description of the initial issues with supernovas and using them as references. The Dark Energy article [1] and the "Light Curve" portion of the Type Ia Supernova article [2] on Wikipedia offer further reading.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Ia_supernova#Light_curve

- Human's believe that Type Ia supernovas are the best way of measuring distance, because of an implied standard brightness and light curve that helps to avoid issues with only measuring redshift.

- Human's initially believed supernovas were supposed to show reduced brightness, further away, with a predictable reduction based on distance.

- Observations showed that supernovas were actually dimmer than expected.

- Implies that the universe is actually expanding, because supernovas were receding faster than expected.

- New results appear to show that the acceleration is decreasing. "there is something pushing galaxies away from each other, but it is not constant. It is declining.” "gently lifting its foot off the pedal"
The part I thought was interesting was how Israel “secured rights to modify” their F35 deliveries. Like… what kind of airplane that costs 100s of millions requires additional contracts for “replace component” rights? How insane is this contract? Its so unreasonable to assume that the value of the fighter to the manifacturers is only in the maintenance. Its like the BMW heater subscription, only for national defence.
Because you're buying a plane and the phone is an analogy. Separately, both iPhone and Android have essentially their full functionality available without *paying* for a subscription.
Could not agree more. I wrote in detail about some of these issues last week https://paulstamatiou.com/browse-no-more
> If it's a 5 year old project, you probably shouldn't be building it with the current versions of tools.

Bold of you to assume I have worked in React for this long and somehow didn't know about this brittle solution to a problem which shouldn't have existed in the first place.

How does your solution handle packages that no longer exist? Let me guess, we back up the packages? Okay, so these packages don't run on new versions of relevant binaries--do we back up the binaries as well? How bad does it have to get before you admit it's a tire fire?
Show HN: Minimalytics – a standalone minimal analytics app built on SQLite
Hi everyone! I wanted to share my analytics app with you.

This project came from requirements to track certain very frequent events. I found that the cost to do it on a regular analytics product was much more than i was willing to pay. Secondly, I also wanted to use as few resources as possible. So I thought it may be a good idea to create something that may be useful for myself (and hopefully others).

I have been able to track a great number of events with this using ~20 MB of storage and memory which is incredible. I have been really impressed by golang as a language and as an ecosystem and would love to work more in this language going forward.

Some Highlights:
1. No dependencies
2. CLI based management
3. Web based UI (and the server to serve it) included in the program.
4. 20 MB install size.
5. 20 MB memory use while running.
6. Minimal storage requirements because it aggregates events.

This can be a great fit for anyone who wants to have a lightweight minimal analytics for internal events.

I am looking forward to your comments and feedback.
What infant fMRI is revealing about the developing mind
The PoC code should work. You just need to install Kass as a dependency. If you have done that, are there any other issues you are facing?

As far as risks are concerned: any app with the ability to get a send right to NetAuthAgent (pretty much any un-sandboxed app) can just silently as NetAuthAgent for any saved credentials for file drives (FTP, WebDAV, Samba, etc.), as well as chaining into a leak of all iCloud Contacts and Calendars (plus other stuff from iCloud). Sandboxing makes it difficult, but not impossible.

The risks are zero if you're up to date (and the patch was in October of last year, so you honestly should be up to date already). If you are not up to date for whatever reason and choose not to be, the risks are far more (unless you diligently check every single process that ever runs on your device).
The trouble is that excel really does have a disproportionate share of all the tiny applications that keep the world running, so it's very very hard to move.
> I've never looked in to why this is happens.

Toronto. Low bidder. We're sorry.
If its for training data, why are they straining FOSS so much? Is there thousands of actors repeatedly making training data all the time? I thought it was a sort of one-off thing w/ the big tech players.
They didn't pay Trump like the SV tech oligarchs.
Yeah, that's both odd and very unfortunate, it seems incredibly nondeterministic. Even running this with the same exact parameters over and over gives widely different results.
This is more or less my view. However, when I say the "humans are bad" group, I mean the people basing their decisions purely on emotion or virtue and who are usually incapable of coming up with such a nuanced view. The same goes for the other extreme.
AMD said in 2021 that they were ready to build ARM chips[1], but honestly, I don't see the market for it. AMD could put an ARM frontend on Ryzen (and various interviews said they've prototyped it), but I don't think it would make a significant difference in compute/watt or whatever other metric, and there's not much in the way of ARM only software that people want to run. Maybe macOS, but you can still run that on amd64 afaik.

amd64 is still the default platform for desktop and server software. You can have arguments about the ISA, but for the most part that doesn't actually matter; amd64 is good enough, upstart cpu makers choose ARM not because it's better than amd64, but because it's at least good enough and licenses are available.

Aren't CNY and CNH effectively two different currencies, despite having the same name and being somewhat linked?
I don't think it's a matter of reverse engineering. What I read indicated Israel paid the vendor for access to the source code, which makes a little more sense.

(the reason given was kind of interesting, involving a prediction that within a decade the stealth technology of fifth-gen fighters might very well be compromised by improved sensor and signal processing technology, and Israel wanted to stay on the pointy end of that)
The Commander of the Finnish Air Force gave an interview on the matter (Finland recently purchased 64 F-35As). He dismissed any concerns, of course – what else could he officially say?

> He expressed confidence that the United States and Lockheed Martin would ensure the operational capability of Finland’s F-35 fleet in all circumstances, given the decades-long partnership. He also noted that all modern weapons systems, including those used in Europe, contain software components primarily originating from the United States.

https://yle.fi/a/74-20150575
Especially when co-president Musk is tweeting that the F-35 is a dud and the US should leave NATO.

That's a double whammy for European countries who signed on to spend hundreds of billions on these planes in the belief that they're part of a NATO security umbrella. Now it seems like NATO will soon be in shambles and the planes might not even fly if that one drunk frat guy with Nazi tattoos running the Pentagon says so.

Finland bought F-35's recently, and the Finnish government is saying that nothing should change because America will hopefully be back to normal before the fighters are delivered. I don't think that kind of ostrich strategy is going to pay off.

Yes, immunity means there are zero downsides for him to try illegal things. That doesn't legalize illegal orders, it just means they all have to wait for their day in court.
> In order to deny that England, America, and France spearheaded the modern democratic system

That doesn't mean these governments make any political sense as a democracy today relative to the status quo. Hell, Britain is probably the only government on earth more dysfunctional than America's. At least France refreshed relatively recently; what the hell is Britain's excuse? Even North Korea and Eritrea seem to maintain more dignity internationally than any of the three of us and they barely even attempt to come across as "democratic".
>And that there is an "alternate path" for governance in North America is in fact I think the precise thing that actually enrages people like Trump.

Haven't heard anyone quite put it like this - thanks.

Trump is also such an egomaniac that he wants territorial expansion of the US to be part of his legacy. He admires conquerors and invaders.
Scientists have to publish a lot of papers (even useless ones) because that is how we have decided to rate them, for better or worse.

And yes, they all mostly need to fish for funding to keep their not-so-well paid jobs going.

They are hardly "ordained priests" though. I think you are trying to insult them, but not really sure what you even mean. They are pretty much by definition highly intelligent people who could earn a lot more by working for FAANG or hedge funds, but prefer to take lower paid work on the off chance they get to discover something interesting about the universe we live in. So not much like priests then.
Having a TOTP app request camera permission isn't nefarious. In fact, I'd 100% expect it. Most of the time people import a TOTP secret from a QR code.

Microsoft Authenticator can be configured by an admin to provide geo-blocking for attempts, so once again not just some arbitrary demand. It's a selling point of the product.

This is why Israelis wrote their own software for the F-35I

Defense vendors backdooring/degrading/IFF-ing their products when sold for export has been a thing for many decades. Heck the UK sold enigma machines to a bunch of countries after WW2, specifically because they could break its code.

This issue is why there is a French and UK and Swedish (and Russian) defense industry.

Israel heavily modifies all of their jets I think. Supposedly stuff like allowing the engines to run at a dangerous thrust level because of situations like “Get there now or you won’t have a home to land in”.
I push back on stuff like this so developers who feel the feet on their throat from this culture can have some confidence to nudge the boot off.

Prisma Summary: A VS Code Extension to Organize and Navigate Prisma Schema Files
Recently, I was talking with my colleagues about how sometimes it takes longer than it should to find a specific model in the schema.prisma.

With that in mind, I created Prisma Summary, a VS Code extension that organizes your schema.prisma and generates a summary to make navigation easier. :D

What it does:

Automatically sorts your schema.prisma file alphabetically.

Generates a summary of all models, enums, and other components for quick navigation.

Let me know what you think! Feedback and contributions are always welcome. :D
From a European perspective, the Panavia Tornado. Was heavily involved in that project from an avionics perspective. To this day I learned more on that than I did at any startup, tech company or bullshit merchant. It was engineering at its finest.
If you’re scraping the estate agents’ sites rather than striking licensing agreements, I can see how you might justify analysing the images to build a property profile but when you’re reproducing them on your site how do you get round the photographer’s copyright?
The purchase of the Saab Gripen by Brazil also included a technology transfer component so the planes can be serviced and kept in shape without being dependent on Sweden. The plane engine is American so apparently they are able to influence sales through this as well as the normal bully/soft power/shenanigans the US use.
Canada doesn't maintain a military for self defence. If it did we would have pursued nuclear weapon ambitions in the 1940s and focused overwhelming on terrestrial missile systems and attack submarines. Even the interception routine of playing the games with Russian bombers at the edge of airspace is just meaningless theatre -- not only would those bombers long have deployed cruise missiles in a real conflict, the vast majority of devastation would have come from ICBMs launched by ground and sea.

In reality our peacetime military has been a welfare project to assist the US in whatever (mis)adventures it gets in around the globe. Our choice of jets, guns, vehicles, and so on is predicated on "when the US drags us into some conflict or other, what equipment integrates with whatever their goals are". So when we signed up for the F-35, that was purchasing criteria.

The world is quite obviously changing. If Canada were seriously interested in true self defence against all realistic foes, it would be nuclear weapons and nuclear powered submarines...like the sort the US blocked us from being able to buy from the UK back in the 80s.
Hey HN! I’m Atul, and today I’m super excited to open-source Compose: a server-side SDK for building internal tools faster, without leaving your codebase.

I first showed Compose to HN about 6 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41722189).

Back then, I was really interested in the idea of Retool, but with code. Retool proved that you can save a bunch of time by giving people high-level primitives to build internal tools. What if there was something that gave you all the same primitives and conveniences of a hosted platform, but packaged inside an SDK that let you build in your own IDE and benefitted from the power of code.

Since then, I’ve talked to a lot of developers and developed Compose into a platform that actual startups are using!

Basically, Compose has two parts:

- Build internal tools in your backend using our SDKs for Python and TypeScript.

- Use/share those tools via your Compose web dashboard.

The Compose SDK includes primitives like tables, forms, charts, file uploads, and a bunch more to build useful tools in just a few lines of code. Since the SDK is installed into your backend, connecting these primitives to your own data and logic is as easy as importing functions and calling them within the Compose Apps that you define.

The Compose web dashboard renders UIs for your tools and enables you to share them with your entire team. It also includes audit logs, RBAC, and other useful features to manage your tools without any configuration on your end.

Under the hood, the web dashboard maintains a secure, proxied websocket connection to the Compose SDK to run the tools you build.

Here’s a super basic Node.js example that lets you turn a SQL query into a simple table dashboard (there’s also a python SDK).

import { Compose } from "@composehq/sdk";

import { database } from "../database";

const viewUsersApp = new Compose.App({
route: "view-users",
handler: async ({ page, ui }) => {
const users = await database.selectUsers() // query your database
page.add(() => ui.header(`Total: ${users.length} users`)
page.add(() => ui.table("users-table", users)); // display results in a table
}
})

Please let me know what you think!

Europe is already moving to de-risk itself from the US.

https://www.stimson.org/2024/eu-defense-this-time-might-be-d...

I can’t find the article I read earlier. But they are working toward outside alliances also for military manufacturing with Canada, the UK and Japan and are explicitly excluding any US components.
I mean I get it, the Cold War was between capitalism and communism if you ask US and we were sure which side won until the last November, but.

The core idea is just what the article is advertising -- the person to see most benefit of their work is the one doing the work. Having enough shares of the company you are working for and high enough taxes to pay for nuking american fascists if needed is a) good approximation of it b) isn't just the opposite of what most of the supposedly capitalistic countries are doing, but is also a very good approximation of what they are supposedly doing.

Cheaper to nullify meteorological services and browbeat media into silence and simply tell Americans everything is fine.

Personally I just want to text or talk to Siri or an LLM and have it do whatever I need. Have it interface with AI Agents of companies, businesses, friends or families AI Agents to get whatever I need done like the example on OpenAI.fm site here (rebook my flight). Once it's done it shows me the confirmation on my lock screen and I receive an email confirmation.
Primeagen and Theo is pure brain rot.
I suspect, like the UK, most regional defence agencies have thoroughly reverse engineered this stuff and are shifting to locally manufactured stuff.

I have hopes for BAE Tempest.

A Canadian supersonic interceptor you say?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_CF-105_Arrow
Is that the reason you're not open sourcing them? Wouldn't it still make sense to provide it for enthusiasts?
Which ‘serious supersonic threats’ to Canada is the F-35 incapable of intercepting?

The problem isn’t a lack of F-35 capabilities, the problem is that Canada doesn’t know what it wants. AFAIK Canada only has two fighter bases, and given the fact that the country is arguably the largest in the world, this means Canada is not serious about intercepting adversary aircraft. Canada also hasn’t had over 100 fighters in a long time, so it doesn’t have a significant deployable force. So what does Canada want?
I guess it could be fair, but those are unilateral. The official justifications such as considering sales tax, are bogus. The unofficial justification (or official depending on time of day..) is annexation. Surely, you see how this isn't perceived as fair from up North?
The US hasn't blocked other countries from transferring more old F-16s to Ukraine.

On or about 2025-03-07, the US apparently cut off intelligence support for the AN/ALQ-131 electronics countermeasures pods (jammers) carried on some F-16s. Those can still be used but will become less effective without constant software and configuration changes to adapt to changes in Russian radars. Some of that support might have at least partially resumed in recent days but the details haven't been publicly reported.

That's a good point, at least once a week someone decides that instead of reading the documentation and understanding the limitations of the technologies or frameworks they want to use...

They either just write a long blog post about how they can't screw in nails with a hammer.

TBH Lockmart F35 SaaS has been fucking over US DoD long before articles concerned over US fucking over foreign F35 operators. TLDR F35 operators beholden to uncle sam, but uncle sam has been beholden to lockmart fuckarounditis for the past 15 years. I think DoD would rather LM figure out ~2500 F35s the US plans to buy (75% of total) than a few 100 units by others.
The trade isn't necessarily perfectly balanced, is it? In negotiations you have more flexibility if you can increase the size of the pie. Things like transit tolls or cruise ship stops are examples of that.
To be fair, "30 years of experience" likely opens more doors than any particular skill listed on your CV - that doesn't reflect the way that a majority of junior/mid-level devs need to present their abilities, where pattern-matching is an unfortunate norm, particularly when there are orders of magnitude more applicants than open roles.
