It is a conversation that started with a simple post that was just pointing out that you had to download a new version the way Mozilla implemented the pinning.

I never said it was a good idea, I never made a political statement, I never said there wasn't a better way to do it with current PKI technology. I simply explained the way it had to be done the way Mozilla implemented it and I have to deal with rants talking about Hitler. And you call me unprofessional?

This conversation is over.

Social differences shouldn't make you question class consciousness. Quite the opposite is true, to be class conscious means to have recognized what economic class you are in regardless of any other features.

Hidden there is a good point though. Social differences can be leveraged as a means to deter class consciousness. Let's take the idea of the wage gap for example. Now both male and female workers can be underpaid. As a result, everyone is less likely to become class conscious and realize that, if they instead fight over a wage difference within their class.
In the "bad old days", tables were abused to build page layouts. There were all sorts of problems with this due to weird rendering rules within table cells and the table itself.
Some people piled onto the "omg tables are so bad" fever without properly acknowledging that they are still the best way to display tabular data - their original purpose.
Show HN: Grasp Code Functionality by Seeing Its AI-Discovered Feature Hierarchy
Hey HN,

I built ProductMap AI, a tool that automatically identifies features implemented in source code and organizes them in a visual hierarchy. The goal is to help developers quickly understand poorly documented codebases.

Link: https://product-map.ai/

I’d love feedback from the HN community! Let me know what you think. Would this be useful for you?

Then OpenAI doesn't need to be shut down or arrested, but its creation needs to serve a "jail time" where it is cut off from the world for some time like 30 days. Just like any of us would be. That's an incentive to change behavior.
Right, this thread is about which models are better than Gemma-3-27B.

I'm a fan of Mistral Small 3 personally but I've not spent enough time with it, Gemma and the new Mistral Small 3.1 to have an opinion of which of those is the "best" model.

The best indicator of model quality I can find right now is still https://lmarena.ai/?leaderboard=

Gemma 3 27B holds an impressive 8th place right now, second highest non-proprietary model after DeekSeek R1 (at 6th).

QwQ-32B is 12th. Weirdly I couldn't find either of the Mistral Small 3 models on there.
There are only a few popular, promoted alternatives to NextJS right now (that I know of): Remix and TanStack. That is, if you're fully React focused, ofc. I dont see promoting Remix as a red flag.
Reminds me of this comment I saw recently

> Are you advocating for everyone to create their own SaaS here or what?
End of the day, most engineers need to join employers. We can’t have 10M+ different SaaS out there and each engineer develops their own personal brand of it. That’s not how software scales.

Any link to where she lived in the US illegally? The only thing I see is

Presumably she wasn't in the US or she wouldn't have been trying to enter the US from Mexico.

Yes the Territorial Defence forces in Ukraine, an example of government backed reserves/semi-trained forces with equipment far beyond the oversimplification of "rifles".

Actual untrained civilian forces with nothing but rifles on their own made little impact to the speed of russian advances however, which after multiple defeats and setbacks led to the formation of that defence force.

Gaza is a whole can of worms in many ways, but its a shining example of a civilian group with access to arms being completely unable to stop a superior local force from driving over them multiple times when they have the desire and political backing.

Which is exactly the point. A bunch of untrained sport shooters and hunters with more guns than they can personally use at once and no supply lines for ammunition or anything else aren't going to stand for any length of time against an organized military, especially on the military's home soil.

More realistic scenarios in any case are full civil war and the military itself splitting and civilians join sides as reserve forces to back them. in which case civilians having blanket access to arms before hand doesn't have any significant bearing on.

All of this is hypothetical, and ultimately comes down to the argument for unrestricted access to guns being 'so we can stand up to a tyrannical government' falls short. You are welcome to disagree, and that's OK with me. My country is largely in line with my sentiment and sees gun ownership as a privilege not a right, one that comes with restrictions balancing the safety of our society. You do you, we will do us.

My experience with ChatGPT is really good. I find standard web searches very annoying now.
Right, but you know that’s not true.
I can only speak for myself, but I would absolutely rather work burned out in tech than work in the trades again.

Drywalling was absolutely destroying my body, mind, and will to live.

Mobility is also a factor - I’ve had high stress tech jobs, but always had the option to quit and do something else if I felt close to burnout. That mobility doesn’t exist in many other jobs.
While yes, I am attempting to collect ad revenue from users, and yes, I don't want somebody competing with me and cutting me out the loop, a large part of it is controlling my content. I'm not arguing whether the AI chatbot has the legal right to access the page, I'm not a legal scholar. What I'm saying is that the leading search engines also have the equal rights to access whatever content they want, and yet they all give webmasters the following tools:

- Ability to prevent their crawlers from accessing URLs via robots.txt

- Ability to prevent a page from being indexed on the internet (noindex tag)

- Ability to remove existing pages that you don't want indexed (webmaster tools)

- Ability to remove an entire domain from the search engine (webmaster tools)

It is really impolite for the AI chatbots to go around and flout all these existing conventions because they know that webmasters would restrict their access because it's much less beneficial than it is for existing search engines.

In the long run, all this is going to lead to is more anti-bot countermeasures, more content behind logins (which can have legally binding anti-AI access restrictions) and less new original content. The victim will be all humans who aren't using a chatbot to slightly benefit the ones who are.

And again, I'm not suggesting that AI chatbots should not be allowed to load webpages, just that webmasters should be able to opt out of it.
> High pay is usually a sign the job is compensating for being shitty in other ways.

Or that it requires a set of skills that not everybody has, or that there is a competitive market where employees can select jobs based on pay. Those are two other reasons.

Indeed, I have to question the premise that high pay and shitty jobs go together. I can think of plenty of shitty, low-paid jobs.
It only went to court because they had enough evidence to prove it is not malware. You have excluded all of the possible cases that used the malware defense and plea’d out or never went to trial.

Similarly, I think using the AI art excuse may be an uphill battle but not one that is impossible to defend
If you don't like Angus Reid (from last week), here are Ipsos from January and Leger from December.

https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/43-percent-canadians-would-vote-...

https://leger360.com/canada-51st-state/

Note that despite the headline, The Ipsos poll also says 80% polled would never vote for Canada to become part of the United States, while the Leger poll says 82% would not like Canada to become the 51st state. These are 3 of the standard pollsters that regularly get commissioned by TV and newspaper to do polls for them, and I have no reason to suspect that the polls are "cooked". 338 rates Angus Reid as B+, Ipsos as A, and Leger as A+.

I love this chat. This is exactly the kind of chat I’ve had with ChatGPT about things like Native American reservations, their history, etc.

Stuff like this is what I love most about these LLMs.

As someone who minored in astronomy and especially loved stuff about stellar life cycles, I didn’t see any red flags in what you were told.
After giving me continuous wrong answers ChatGPT decided it would try allow me to indulge it in a "learning opportunity" instead.

I completely understand your frustration, and I genuinely appreciate you pushing me to be more accurate. You clearly know your way around Rust, and I should have been more precise from the start.

If you’ve already figured out the best approach, I’d love to hear it! Otherwise, I’m happy to keep digging until we find the exact method that works for your case. Either way, I appreciate the learning opportunity.
English can be parsed multiple ways, and CSAM can just as validly refer to a depiction or topic or subject, like "flying alien dogs material" as some actual act. Unless there is some legal definition on the books that does explicitly make that distinction.
I'm sure they're working on it. This MCP stuff is early days. Even I am just finding out about it's integration into Blender and Unity in this thread.

Just guessing but maybe because they are not forcing kids into a religion but rather giving them the option to learn from it much like the bill that allows them to pray but does not require them to. I would guess that if a teacher required them to recite the commandments that would be crossing the line and will likely result in lawsuits should that come to pass. They could probably also put a copy of the Christian Bible, Quran and Torah on display in class or in the library.

$_ is the last argument. Here's a better example to illustrate

> echo 'Hello' 'world' 'my' 'name' 'is' 'godelski'
Hello world my name is godelski
> echo $_
godelski
> !:0 !:1 !:2 "I'm" "$_"
Hello world I'm godelski

The reference manual is here[0] and here's a more helpful list[1]

One of my favorites is

> git diff some/file/ugh/hierarchy.cpp
> git add $_
## Alternatively, but this is more cumbersome (but more flexible)

So what is happening with wget is

> wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.18/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.18.4-x86_64.tar.gz && tar -xvf $_
## Becomes
> wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.18/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.18.4-x86_64.tar.gz
> tar -xvf https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.18/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.18.4-x86_64.tar.gz

Which you are correct, doesn't work.

It should actually be something like this

> wget https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.18/releases/x86_64/alpine-minirootfs-3.18.4-x86_64.tar.gz -O alpine.tar.gz && tar xzf $_

This would work as the last parameter is correct. I also added `z` to the tar and removed `-` because it isn't needed. Note that `v` often makes untaring files MUCH slower

I get shorts in my feed and it’s all Front End developers. It’s all stupid JS behaviour and other inconsequential stuff.
I don't need my employer for that either, because they're competing for my labor in a market with many other employers. It would be extremely costly to replace me because of the critical role I have on a highly profitable product. If anything, I'm the one with leverage, which I use every year to request more pay, fancier titles, and larger responsibilities.

Realistically, if I were laid off today I'd likely land a better paying job than this one. I choose to stay because I like my boss, my work, and my coworkers.

If circumstances changed such that it made sense to lay me off then I should be laid off. Why should anyone be obligated to pay my salary if I'm not offering commensurate value?
Civil, mechanical, electrical, and most other engineering disciplines have an accreditation board. I don't think they are pushing a "flawed" ideology in those disciplines. At least I don't see civil engineers constantly questioning why they would do load modeling for a bridge, like SWE's constantly question the value of unit testing.

ElevenLabs is the only one offering speech to speech generation where the intonation, prosody, and timing is kept intact. This allows for one expressive voice actor to slip into many other voices.
An order of magnitude is nothing if you know anything about how astronomers do their calculations xD
Not sure about the details, but I suspect it's more a consequence of laws on telecommunication privacy from analog days being very generic than a specific intention to make ATC listening illegal. Opt-out vs. opt-in by frequency and/or purpose, essentially.

That said, it's supposedly still being very much enforced against e.g. planespotters at airshows in some places – no idea what the point of that is.

Pretty meh. Coral Dramatic is extremely robotic for example.
Something I've started to conceptualize is that being "galaxy brained" as described in this paragraph:

One of them is Peter Thiel, who has spoken about his evangelical leanings for more than a decade and who has lately shared his views on his faith with increasing frequency. “I believe in the resurrection of Christ,” he said in a 2020 talk. “The only good role model for us is Christ.” (In watching talk after talk of Thiel speaking about his faith, I found myself genuinely puzzled, not because Thiel lacks conviction but because his thoughts on the subject are so galaxy-brained that it seems like he’s playing a game of 3D chess that the rest of us are only catching up to: “When you don’t have a transcendent religious belief, you end up just looking around at other people. And that is the problem with our atheist liberal world. It is just the madness of crowds.”)

Is most often a way to spread propaganda, or believe whatever you want to. A great example of this is the "sin of empathy" talk that's been going around. There may be some sort of trolley problem sense that trying to help every ends up helping no one, but as soon as you try to like maximize that idea, the way long-termists talk about helping trillions of people in the future rather than millions of people now. You're just sort of intellectualizing your way into believing whatever you want to believe.

The basic explanation is probably the right explanation. Absent exigent circumstances, love your neighbor just means love your neighbor.
Any plans to offer speech to speech models which keep prosody, intonation, and timing intact? ElevenLabs is getting expensive for this.
+1 for Angular, upgrading has always been very easy and somewhere since V15 or so the build times have gotten insanely fast. Hot reloading a largeish cross-platform app with WASM takes less than 3 seconds. Deploys are also very simple.

Nice! It's like having a patient neighbor that knows a lot about some topic but, you know, don't bet your life on it being accurate haha.

It's the British spelling of "jail", as in "John Bunyan, a prominent Puritan preacher and author, spent 12 years in Bedford Gaol from 1660 to 1672." Pronounced jail, I believe.

True.

It is going to be more of an explosion than an implosion when the "AI" bubble (that big tech is desperately using a smokescreen to hide the fact that they have nothing interesting to offer these days) bursts.
This.

I have a pet project (let's call it home brew Plex) that I've started some 10 years ago and every 2 years I come back to it with the same experiment - let's see what do I have to change to be in line with the current javascript trends.

And every time it leads to a complete rewrite.

And I'm not talking about changing Angular to React -- I'm talking about fundamental shifts in paradigm, tooling that falls apart, and a brand new feature that everyone has to use this season.

The paradox is that I've started my career 25 years ago doing frontend - in flash, as JS was almost noexistent in it's current form back then - and still when I have to do small eyecandy or experiment I like to use plain old ES3/ES5 JS that I can author in a notepad and run directly in a browser without needing a tooling pipeline that would put a blush on most game developers.

I think it partially comes from the fact that JS as a modern, full fledged programming language came out of the blue, with sudden demise of flash, catching everyone by surprise.

I remember when companies started shifting to js and asking for senior frontend programmers back in the days. I was thinking to myself - hey, if you want someone with 5 yoe with JS in 2013 then most people in the market will be experts on jquery plugins, not serious programming.

And I think that's the reason why the community as a whole keeps reinventing the wheel and trying to prove themselves so hard.
all i know is that nextjs is the absolute worst

When used to compare costs, “equivalent” is used instead of “employee.”

“The cost of one full-time employee is equivalent to X CPUs.” —> “The full-time equivalent is X CPUs.”
Flip that argument around: if your company can’t offer a product without rejecting any responsibility for its reliability, is it really a good product?

That doesn’t mean that companies can’t use LLMs, it only means that they have to market them accurately and use them appropriately. The problem is that companies want to oversell their capabilities because most of the valuable applications need accuracy. Just as we don’t exempt restaurants from hygiene requirements because it’s burdensome, we shouldn’t let the get-rich-quick guys sell something they can’t actually deliver.
Wood isn’t used because it will last forever - brick and stone are better for those purposes. Wood is excellent, just not the best. It’s much more efficient though.

Parent's comment was the sarcastic observation that if employers ought to be able to verify workers' commutes, they could justifiably also want to monitor other aspects of workers' lives outside of work that have a significant impact on productivity.

The argument is valid whilst being entirely dystopian. There is a level of trust, or at least tolerance, between employer and employee that must be accommodated in society; otherwise there is no choice but brutally invasive surveillance of all workers.
In the same way that humans do too.

We can argue about the reasoning abilities of LLMs all day long, but their pure language faculty (which includes figuring out which words in a sentence probably reference a person, based on context and corpus probabilities) is hopefully generally accepted as being real at this point.

ULA is not a "incompetent monstrosity" (Boeing yes sadly). The company is making good progress with Vulcan and if they were given the funds/time to design a reusable rocket they're probably one of the few companies that has the talent/experience to pull it off. Tony Bruno is maybe the only CEO of a large space company that is a hardcore engineer and has a passion for space. Would have been cool to see BO/ULA get combined under Tony's leadership but wasn't meant to be.
