> I think many actually would love to have their own website that they can curate themselves and have the features they specifically want, but aren't tech literate enough to do so, or haven't been taught that it is even an option.

From 2009 to 2012, Opera had this thing called Opera Unite... you would put content (websites, images, etc.) in there, and it would be served from your own personal computer, with the web server being embedded in the browser and no configuration needed.

It was incredibly easy to use even for the tech illiterate, but never got much adoption. I suppose it was either ahead of its time, or more likely perhaps the opposite, too late (this was during Facebook's heyday, and most people had already got used to sharing their content through social networks). But I like to think there's a timeline where it was a success and many regular people would have their own website using this type of technology.
The big problem here, as mentioned in the post, is that banks (esp smaller ones) frequently reject legitimate evidence - and stripe don't allow you to go to arbitration. So it's basically asking the banks if they'd like to admit wrongdoing.
For example, we've had a bunch of fraudulent transactions that had 3DS approval - meaning we are covered by liability shift. But certain banks don't care and issue fraud chargebacks anyway!
If stripe allowed you do go to arbitration or at least helped out in keeping the banks straight, this would go down better.
I think the stakes are higher, and the IndieWeb movement is about the future, and it's not just an aesthetic.

Allow me a metaphor. Many years ago humans wandered the Earth, hunted and gathered and lived where they wished. Then came along civilisation, and with it, a normalisation not just of trade, but of property. Some people realised that they could "own" the best land, and make people pay a "rent" to use it. And so was born, The Law. The Law was used for a long time in a way that meant people were born into a system where they just accepted there were Lords of the land and those who worked it for an existence. Eventually, people asked important questions, some set out for a New World, others in the Establishment sought to impose The Law in new lands, sometimes accepted, sometimes rejected. After a long, long time, we came to a place in society where we accepted personal property - particularly personal ownership of the land on which you lived - was a just, beneficial and suitable place for civilisation to settle.

Now, back to the web. Right now, we're in a phase of feudalistic control. In order to "feel informed", or to even be entertained, you are required to make sacrifices (your personal data), to a rich group of Lords who demand The Law bends to their will.

The IndieWeb is the web version of freeholding. It won't change the World, but without it, the World can't change.

As a society we have a choice: our future online presence entirely owned and shaped by a handful of "land owners", or we invest in making the New World and creating an online world that we want to see.

This isn't about aesthetics. It's about freedom, democracy, the law, your rights and those of future generations. There's a place for landlords in this World, but please don't try and consign the IndieWeb to a curious retro hobby clan: it has the potential to offer you and many others so, so much more than that.

TFA says that IndieWeb does not need to "take off". I agree. But it also doesn't need putting down or dismissing, and it can adapt to whatever future defining vibe of youth culture it needs to: it is a platform, not an art form. It is land on which to build coffee shops/libraries/museums/diaries, not those things itself.

If you compare with e.g. Deepseek and other hosters, you'll find that OpenAI is actually almost certainly charging very high margins (Deepseek has an 80% profit margin and they're 10x cheaper than openai).

The training/R&D might make OpenAI burn VC cash, but this isn't comparable with companies like WeWork whose products actively burn cash

I agree with the theory, but have zero facts to back them up.

I’d also argue that we shouldn’t call “I’ll give you $50 coke money if you off that guy” should be called “contract killing”.
New account, likely. It's been vouched for now presumably.
Basically every country in the world fingerprints travelers upon arrival. The EU will start doing it later this year.
You sound like we need to work out which technologies to allow or ban.

A true Indie web would just let technologies exist side by side, see which ones get implemented by popular clients or which clients become popular due to their implementation, and let it all exist organically.

That's how RSS happened in the first place.
It’s the Gaelic spelling of “jail”. It hasn’t been used in mainstream British English since the 60s, outside of specific place names. Everyone in England says “jail” or “prison” today. It might be a bit different in Ireland.
Org level dysfunction. It is likely an exec's pet project.

Kind of like how Meta keeps the disaster that is Horizon Worlds going, but much worse because Apple has a monopoly on AI integrations in iOS, and nobody else is allowed to compete with their terrible implementation.
JavaScript is perfectly capable to run on the backend. Many people/companies do it with great satisfaction.

Accurate word timestamps seems an overhead and required a post processing like forced alignment (speech technique that can automatically align audio files with transcripts)

Had a recent dive into a forced alignment, and discovered that most of new models dont operate on word boundaries, phoneme, etc but rather chunk audio with overlap and do word, context matching. Older HHM-style models have shorter strides (10ms vs 20ms).

Tried to search into Kaldi/Sherpa ecosystem, and found most info leads to nowhere or very small and inaccurate models.

Appreciate any tips on the subject
I agree with you. However, this is very different from “I would not travel to the US unless my life depends on it”
> steam engine enthusiasts in 2025 and 1825. One is about the future and the other is about the past

Well most of our power generation still comes from steam turbines, and boiling water is more of than than not still the most efficient approach for energy extraction, so it's as much the present and future as it is the past.
> Most people are happy to store all their data with big tech and get snoothly marketed content designed to extract as much value as possible from themselves for corporate benefit.

Is this even a thought on people's mind? I don't think it's a choice people are explicitly making in their mind, but it's more like water and electricity that just takes the path of least resistance. It happens to be that centralized services are easy to join and get started with, and non-centralized services were harder to join, case in point being Mastodon where you need to first chose what server you want to join, then you can join the network itself. Same goes for IRC, torrents and a bunch of other things, it tends to just be harder to get into less centralized things, for better and worse.

But I still have the belief that we can figure out the UX to making it easier. Bluesky/ATProto is a step in the right direction, although it isn't 100% self-hostable and decentralized today, the foundation is there and the UX seems simple enough that when people have the choice, both paths have about the same friction today.
Agrees with my own experience. I have a 4070 super which of course is nothing to brag about, but tps using quantized 27b model is miserable. I could go down to 12b or even smaller, but it would sacrifice in quality. Then I could upgrade my gears, but I realize that however much I spend, the experience is not going to be as smooth as off-the-shelf LLM products, and definitely not worth the cost.

Of course it is nice to have an LLM running locally where nobody gets to know your data. But I don't see a point in me spending thousands of $ to do that.

Why does almost every project written in rust have "written in rust" advertised in the title/description?
I don't see how the two projects are related, so there shouldn't be any confusion. The project you linked isn't even called chibi, it's called chibi-scheme. If you suggest that we should not use common words in our project names if those words have been used before, we would've run out of names long ago.
The links you shared in your original comment all pointed to "rejections", not "legal people being detained".

What has always been going on: people overstay their visa, depending on the scale and country, people get treated badly almost always in these cases.

What is happening now: people being critical of Trump are being rejected, legal visa holders are being detained because of the scale of the abuse.

These are clearly very different things and very much a fault of specifically Trump administration. Searching phones and messages to look for Trump critical messages .. unbelievable and totally new stuff is going on here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/19/trump-musk-f...
Have you ever been to Taiwan?

Can you really not separate coerced opinion from opinion?

"Do you want to claim independence [and potentially be killed or economically punished for doing so]?" "Do you prefer the status quo [knowing that any change will be punished harshly]"?

Seeing China fully colonize Hong Kong sent shivers through Taiwanese society. President Lai was largely considered a rejection of China.
Before you get too excited..

I'd say this was done mainly to help visualize the problems better, since this is a learning video. But often problems are converted into graphs because it is a well studied field and that way you can apply many theorems and traversal algorithms.
Like many other islands in the Pacific, Taiwan was mostly inhabited by Austronesian speakers until the arrival of European colonizers. In 1624, the Dutch East India company set up a colony on Taiwan (then called Formosa) as an outpost for trade with the Ming dynasty, encouraging Chinese workers to immigrate. At the time, the Ming were under pressure from the Jurchens (later Manchus), who ended up conquering China and establishing the Qing dynasty. In 1662, Ming remnants fleeing the mainland defeated the Dutch and conquered the island, subsequently being defeated and conquered in turn by the Qing in 1684. And in 1895 Taiwan was seized by Japan.

That's barely more than 200 years of being tied to the mainland, nowhere close to 5000.

If you go by duration of historical possession, Taiwan would have to be ruled by a minority aristocracy of indigenous peoples, about 3% of the population.
I hear you, but I don't think git alone (a single repository, at least) provides what is needed for the ideal workflow. Would you agree there are drawbacks to committing by default compared to a sandbox?

Version control in Plandex is like 4 commands. It’s objectively far simpler than using git directly, providing you the few operations you need without all the baggage. It wouldn't be a win for me to add new commands if only git was necessary, because then the user experience would be worse, but I truly think there's a lot of extra value for the developer in a sandbox layer with a very simple interface.

I should also mention that Plandex also integrates with the project's git repo just like aider does, so you can turn on auto-apply for effectively the same exact functionality if that's what you prefer. Just check out a new branch in git, start the Plandex REPL in a project directory with `plandex`, and run `\set-config auto-apply true`. But if you want additional safety, the sandbox is there for you to use.

Weird thing was that one time USA had Finnish-speaking customs officer at US-Mexico border. Reason was that Finnish Passport was printed or sold in Russia en mass.

Does this have logic to set packet rate-limits per-nameserver? Many name servers have per-IP rate limits. Most defaults are fairly high but I am curious if you mitigate this by ensuring no single name server gets more than user-definable packets per second.
You could make the exact same argument about his mention of SSRIs. "Oh, he just means all the people without depression, who are abusing SSRIs."

No, you're being intentionally disingenuous here. Obviously, he dislikes the fact that these drugs are being prescribed to patients, and he would prefer it if they were not. I'm sure he imagines that these "farms" would be a better treatment for depression than SSRIs are, and likewise for the other drugs and conditions.

I agree. The AppleScript/Apple Event Manager thing is an example of treating macOS like a second class citizen in the ongoing iOS-fication of the Apple Ecosystem. The point of macOS for me is that it's simple to use for most beginners but allows more advanced users to add complexity through tools like Apple Script and Automator and the underlying Unix base.

Like you say, an MCP server integrated with AppleScript/Apple Event Manager would instantly hook up any LLM with virtually all Mac apps. More Mac devs will then be incentivized to support these features. For people who find AppleScript un-intuitive, JavaScript is also supported. And in my view, this is a revolutionary way to use my computer - a very Star Trek way of using the computer.

They can’t test or prove the point they made in the paper.

The entire field is nearly impossible to distinguish from bullshit - fundamentally.
> is it just interest rates causing this?

Partly. It's mostly poor decision making. Those that thought it was a good idea to massively over hire during COVID (a likely temporary event) caused this. There was a surge in salaries across the board and huge confusion as teams tried to scale.

The hiring criteria dropped. A lot of people that otherwise wouldn't have made it got hired.

Many large companies today are still not yet down to below COVID levels in employees.

Ask HN: Should Python support native Design by Contract (class invariants)?
I recently proposed adding native support for Design by Contract to Python, starting with class invariants.

The idea: if a class defines an `__invariant__()` method, Python would automatically run it before and after every public method call. No decorators or metaclasses—just opt-in, self-verifying code.

Languages like Eiffel, D, and Ada support this natively. I tried implementing it as a C extension, but Python’s dynamic nature made that very difficult—so I brought the idea to the [official Python forum](https://discuss.python.org/t/design-by-contract-in-python-proposal-for-native-class-invariants/85434) to see if there’s broader interest.

Would love to hear what HN thinks—especially:
- Have you ever wished for this in Python?
- Would you use it if it were opt-in and debug-mode only?
- Is Python the right place for something like this?

If only that were true! XHTML is basically dead and HTML5 is the murderer. Something that leaves RSS/Atom intact.

> Atom is very easily desynchronized with the main content, whereas hentry is in sync by construction.

I know, and no need for XSLT magic to fix browsers having made RSS/Atom persona non grata. Still, "deprecating" RSS/Atom is completely wild, people should be happy to find blogs with usable feeds in the first place.

For me it runs at full speed in both stable and developer versions of Firefox (but even then, audio is bad at times). But still, I looked at performance out of curiosity.

After running it under FF's profiler for a moment, it looks like a sync executed after every opcode recalculates the framebuffer (`step_until_next_audio_buffer -> cpu::microops::read_byte_from_memory -> emulator::sync -> gpu::scanline::write_scanlines`) and uploads it to the canvas with `putImageData`, which takes ~35% of execution time. Sounds like that could be redundant work, since I'm pretty sure the canvas isn't actually redrawn until the wasm execution yields back to the browser.

EDIT: also, the emulator can't really be ran in debug mode, since 1. it blows the wasm stack (presumably when creating the huge `Emulator` struct, a not uncommon issue in Rust; I had to hack in bigger stack size with linker args), and 2. is panics on int overflows `apu::step`.
Why though? Seems way more complicated (swashplates!) for little benefit (a bit more compact?)
Does the de-drm still work? I've tried it through the PC client method and it didn't work.
That's why I haven't even bothered getting into the atrocity that is modern frontend. I still build stuff mostly like it's 2007. In my projects I don't even have much of a frontend — most of the functionality works without any JavaScript whatsoever — but the JS that I do have has to contain exactly zero third-party runtime dependencies. I'm okay with self-contained third-party scripts like Leaflet for when I need to display a map, and I'm okay with build tools like TypeScript and PostCSS. But that's it really. I'm not having any of that abstraction-over-single-platform nonsense.
Wouldn't that be fair use? In any cases, if someone do claim copyright on that article then the case will be closed.
Also (and I think more important, but I might be wrong), we don't perceive light intensity linear but logarithmic. A 50% duty cycle does appear brighter than half as bright. A 90% duty cycle might be only barely perceptible.
While the indieweb doesn't need to take off, I sure would love to see /some/ growth. The internet is a big place, so even a small but active percentage would offer sanctuary to folks wanting out of walled gardens, constant tracking, bloat, advertising...

It's torture even if applied to guilty people. But your point is valid, it's just "how to treat prisoners".
