Well, today? No, they're not exceptionally democratic in comparison to other nations – or, at least, not to other Western nations.
Just switched my default to Kagi based on this comment and you're right. It honestly feels like old-school Google before all of the algo changes.
How do the nodules form? I'm not sure of the mechanism but I can speculate that it may be that they form as a result of biological action of microorganisms which take in seawater and secrete heavy metals. Colonies of these microorganisms could coalesce to the point where their presence is indicated by the presence of these nodules.

Perhaps using thin sections of the nodules will provide a clue about their origin and whether they are a biological type of sedimentary deposit or something that occurs due to chemical or electrochemical diagenesis of existing sediments or alteration of suspended particulates in the water column.

It's interesting that they are only found in areas where the seafloor is oxygenated according to the EOS article linked and quoted below.

>Nodule provinces are not typically found in low-oxygen areas, she said. “However, there could be microenvironments where oxygen is depleted and dark oxygen production enables certain microbes, protozoa, or fauna.”

If it is being produced down there, something is using it. Everything is part of a cycle and works in concert with all the other parts keep the wheels turning. If we remove enough parts the cycle ends.

I think we need to understand the role these nodules play in their environments before commercial interests start crowing the familiar "national security interests" argument to allow them to bypass any scrutiny.
I want people to use my data.

The US required that Canada buy the F-35 to be able to fit the communications equipment needed for NORAD.

I think the Eurofighter would have been a better fit for Canada. It is already built on multiple production lines, no problem adding another one in Canada for their aircraft.
At the moment precisely because Apple is protective of the user experience.
Finland can't afford that kind of thing. It's a bit unique because it has a large and well-trained army (by European standards) but a smallish defense budget.

The Finnish military basically runs on the collective trauma of the last Russian invasion. There's a general conscription for male citizens, and reserve forces receive regular refresh training to keep their skills active. But you can't transform that kind of spirit into fighter planes.
> This is something that feels like it should be true but it isn't. The Constitution applies to everyone with some very specific exceptions to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Some parts of the Constitution apply to everyone. For example, the Fifth and Sixth Amendments absolutely apply to all persons, but a while a foreigner accused of crimes in the U.S. has all the same rights to a fair trial, speedy trial, counsel, non-self-incrimination, confrontation, etc., they don't have a right not to be expelled from the country instead of having the trial.

> What is true is that there's a long standing sort of gentleman's agreement between the courts and the executive that basically grants the administration a large amount of discretion in handling immigration despite the Constitution.

Decisions of the court are not "gentlemen's agreements". They are binding precedent.

Generally between the courts' interpretation of Article II and various statutes the POTUS does have great latitude as to removal of foreigners but not as to trials of foreigners. (Nor do foreigners not have the right to life, liberty, and property. They can't be summarily executed, for example, nor can they summarily be imprisoned. And they have the right to liberty within the parameters of their visas. And generally they have the right to property within the jurisdiction of U.S. law.)
Those tragedies largely ended after 2011. One would assume things have changed since then.

Strongly isolated systems like Nix and Bazel are amazing for giving no-fuss local reproducibility.

Every CI "platform" is trying to seduce you into breaking things out into steps so that you can see their little visualizations of what's running in parallel or write special logic in groovy or JS to talk to an API and generate notifications or badges or whatever on the build page. All of that is cute, but it's ultimately the tail wagging the dog— the underlying build tool should be what is managing and ordering the build, not the GUI.

What I'd really like for next gen CI is a system that can get deep hooks into local-first tools. Don't make me define a bunch of "steps" for you to run, instead talk to my build tool and just display for me what the build tool is doing. Show me the order of things it built, show me the individual logs of everything it did.

Same thing with test runners. How are we still stuck in a world where the test runner has its own totally opaque parallelism regime and our only insight is whatever it chooses to dump into XML at the end, which will be probably be nothing if the test executable crashes? Why can't the test runner tell the CI system what all the processes are that it forked off and where each one's respective log file and exit status is expected to be?
You can make another step forward to reduce overheard and put all the shares of those owners into a holding company, vote for the managing person of it and you will pretty much get soviet union. The rest of the soviet union you will have to grow in process of such transformations to deal with marginal ill effects of it.
The issue is animal agriculture, not almonds.

For example cow milk uses more water in absolute terms, and more water per calorie, than almond milk.
There's a difference between spewing falsehoods for extended periods of time and then trying to excuse it with "I was joking/lying" (essentially Jones' position), and making caveats immediately before and after each falsehood to clarify the entire time that you're joking (stand-up comics' standard MO).

With the right caveats, e.g. a large disclaimer emitted before and after each response, ChatGPT should be able to get away with spewing complete BS. At that point, the onus is on anybody who trusts it.
Hi there - I work at Apollo and I'd be happy to help you migrate off our old CLI. That utility was sort of a hodgepodge of tools that we ended up either replatforming to our `rover` CLI or, in the case of code generation, recommending that folks use GraphQL Code Generator. It's a testament to that utility's sprawl that I can't guess your use case just by your name-drop of it. I realize the irony in my saying that since it sort of plays into this narrative, but FWIW all the functionality (and then some) of `apollo` is still actively maintained, just not in that particular codebase or form factor. Let me know if there's anything I can do to assist.

FWIW Apollo Client is actively maintained, has a lot of new features, and is preparing a v4 release (currently in Alpha). We'll be celebrating 10 years next year :)
Drones, artillery, and cruise missiles/air-to-surface missiles are the most effective weapons in the biggest modern non-insurgency war of the past decade (Ukraine).

Small arms (guns) and tanks are not.

A bike chain or your huffy is also not. Care to point to a source suggesting broken up bike chains have been a big part of the most recent, modern military war?
My only point was that Canada has more to lose than the US if we start taxing journeys through each others countries. A lot of commenters missed that.
Agree with you on the watch and AirPods. For other services no. They either do provide some API, like for payments, iCloud files or Auth, or can’t do so safely, AirDrop and iMessage. And for those alternatives do exist. Just not as system integrate.
> Aside from "try Inkscape", that sounds like a human problem not an LLM problem.

Absolutely do not "try Inkscape", unless you like your LLM choking on kilobytes of tokens it takes to describe the equivalent of "Alice -> Bob" in PlantUML. 'robjan is correct in comparing SVG to a compiled program binary, because that's what SVG effectively is.

Most SVG is made through graphics programs (or through conversion of other formats made in graphics programs), which add tons of low-level noise to the SVG structure (Inkscape, in particular). And $deity forbid you then minify / "clean up" the SVG for publication - this process strips what little semantic content is there (very little, like with every WYSIWYG tool), turning SVG into programming equivalent of assembly opcodes.

All this means: too many degrees of freedom in the format, and dearth of quality examples the model could be trained on. Like with assembly of a compiled binary, LLM can sort of reason about that, but it won't do a very good job at it, and it's a stupid idea in the first place.

> One might as well say MidJourney won't work because few ever make paintings using pixels.

One might say that if asking LLM to output a raster image (say, PPM/PBM format, which is made of tokenizer-friendly text!) - and predictably, LLM will suck at outputting such images, and suck even worse at understanding them.

One might not say that about Midjourney. Midjourney is not an LLM, it's (backed by) a diffusion model. Those are two entirely different beasts. LLM is a sequential next token predictor, a diffusion model is not; it does something more like global optimization across fixed-sized output, in many places simultaneously.

In fact, I bet a textual diffusion model (there are people working on diffusion-based language models) would work better for outputting SVG than LLMs do.
Not an influencer but: Casey Muratori is great.

He's actually the opposite of the "trendsetter" kind that is being criticized here, and is more of an educator with lots of experience in both education and business.
Yeah Zojirushi is absolutely the right answer so the contrarian take in this comment is actually not what I would want in search result.

There are other good rice cookers like Cuckoo, and cheaper options like Tiger or Tatung, or really budget options like Aroma, but you pretty much can’t go wrong with Zojirushi if you can afford it.

This is a case of HN cynicism and contrarianism working against oneself.
Show HN : 8fs.io A dead-simple, file sharing tool. Looking for feedback!
Hey All.

I recently built 8fs.io, a simple file-sharing tool.

No sign-ups, no tracking—just upload a file and share the link.

I’d love to get some feedback on usability, speed, and any features you think would make it better.

Also, do you see any potential use cases I might have overlooked?

Looking forward to your thoughts!
Here's a partial answer to my own question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43427525

> e.g. the audio-preview model when given instruction to speak "What is the capital of Italy" would often speak "Rome". This model should be much better in that regard

"Much better" doesn't sound like it can't happen at all though.

Yeah good luck with this one
Compared to most websites these days HN is about as lightweight as it gets. I would say if you are experiencing laggy page loads, the issue is most likely something else. (Maybe disable extensions and restart?)
I've been looking for this as well. I want a reliable image search tool. I tried a combination of perplexity web search tool use with the Anthropic conversations API but it's been lackluster.
> I understand the risk of falling on the deaf ears

Always good to cast yourself as unheard in your first sentence.

> where from comes the idea that communism is the opposite (or less of) capitalism

No one said they're opposite, but no one reasonably claims they're compatible. Communists, quite simply, want means of production to be collectively owned. There's a lot of debate among communists about what collective means, but no one reasonably claims that collective means "private ownership".
So pretty analogous to Tesla then
A few things but your concern is totally valid; we are in a bad place if he does not back down.

1. Executive power has limits. E.g. civil litigation and state law are largely outside his jurisdiction.

2. Agents of the government must follow the law, even if it contradicts an exective order. They open themselves to criminal liability if they don't.

3. Congress. Haha just kidding that's only in the timeline where Harambe is still alive.
> to stop AI crawlers

It'll do that too, but it's really more of a general-purpose anti-bot, right? A generic PoW-wall.
What kind of scaling do you have in mind there?

My naive analysis is: A high end Mac should be able to run each layer of an AI task about twice as fast because of the memory bandwidth. And the data going between layers is tiny enough to run over thunderbolt or even normal ethernet.

Is there an AI use case that prefers 250GB/s memory bandwidth plus 25GB/s interconnect over 500GB/s memory and 2GB/s interconnect? Are there other major use cases that prefer it?
It's more like a Tesla car
My hot water heats up in less than 2 hours and if I don’t fire it up at night I won’t have hot water in morning.

At this point getting some batteries would likely be cheaper than new boiler + plumber to install it.
I know it's not possible due to licensing bullshit but I'd pay a premium for TV/Movies that I owned (DRM free downloads). I have no issue paying for content, but it's a sad state of affairs that Plex is the best experience you can get for TV/Movies and a legal alternative does not exist.

I would guess a good number of plex setups cost more than "all streaming services" x "lifetime of plex server", I know some people where this is the case. They could have paid for every streaming service for over a decade for what they put into their Plex/media server.

There have been other cases of permanent residents, and even naturalized citizens losing their residency or citizenship. Ironically many of those cases are about actual Nazis.

Your link points to a much better, more interesting, article
It still means that only whoever has the private key corresponding to that certificate can intercept and decrypt the traffic, so a third-party like Starlink should not be able to.
It was Biden that damaged the democracy by allowing unchecked, unlimited immigration into the country, even going as far as to subsidize and pay for accommodations in luxury hotels in NYC. No country can stand on that kind of policy for long. No country in history ever has.
Supposedly the mafia blocked this for years.
I don't really disagree that there is a lot of churn in frontend, but a lot of that comes down to simply picking up too many dependencies, a problem that isn't really that hard to avoid by simply not doing that. I have indeed had large projects where the list of direct dependencies was about a dozen, because if you are more judicious about dependencies, it's not so bad.

Go is a great example. Once Go hit 1.0, it gained very strong compatibility guarantees. Go has two properties that make it much better in terms of ecosystem stability than JS was:

- The Go standard library. For a long time JS lacked very basic functionality in its standard library. Go has a very nice standard library that not only covers essential algorithms and data structures, but also standard I/O interfaces, implementations of popular protocols and file formats, and a full cryptography suite. 10 years ago, JavaScript lacked much of this, so you often had to "roll your own". Today JS has standard modules, WebCrypto, the File System API, IndexedDB, bigint, ES Maps and Sets, and more. The problem is much alleviated.

- Go has an ethos of minimal dependencies, a la the famous Go proverb, "A little copying is better than a little dependency." JavaScript had virtually the opposite attitude; they were pushing for making every small thing a module. This was a terrible idea, and it has led to the unfortunate reality that your dependency trees in Node.JS grow uncontrollably. This has been somewhat alleviated, though there are still many projects with out-of-control module trees.

Mind you also, that React prior to v15 was also considered pre-1.0; the last relatively big transition (to ES classes) happened in v13, which was actually v0.13 at the time.

But come on. The quote I took issue with was:

> Whatever framework you choose will be obsolete in 5 years.

This is an exaggeration. Undoutedly the JS ecosystem is not as stable as the Go one, but I don't think dropping all frameworks because the ecosystem moves kind of fast is the right answer. There's a measure in the middle.
You were paying for Kagi but not using it as the default?
Having nukes looks like such a great idea right now.

- Ukraine exchanged nukes for beautiful promises.

- North Korea which has comically bad diplomacy, but also nukes; rendering them un-invade-able.

- Even Canada faces threats to its sovereignty from its closest ally. Nukes would render this concern moot.
Oh, you will have election a-okay, it's not that modern dictatorships don't care to do the dance. The problem is the deep suspicion of who will win them forming 4 years in advance.
There will be other unintended outcomes from this. If the US can't be relied on as a military ally, then why should US clouds or the software it exports be trustworthy?

Couldn't the US government also kill all Windows workstations, iPhones or AWS servers? Of course they could.

Smaller companies or individuals may not care, but governments or bigger companies that are risk averse? Of course they'll care.
Which is why most people (at least in the United States) have fire insurance.

You are daft if you still think this is about government spending. Trump's newest target is the Institute of Museum and Library Services which is 0.0046% of government spending.
I accidentally realized I could do this with their official filesystem server and it works ok. Certainly haven't felt the need to use Claude code or cline since.
regarding STT we got also today 2 new models from Nvidia:

The feature I want is speaker differentiation - I want to feed in an audio file and get back a transcript with "Speaker 1: ..., Speaker 2: ..." indications.

That plus timestamps would be incredible.

The Google Gemini 2.0 models are showing some promise with this, I can't speak to their reliability just yet though.
Of course there's going to be an election in 2028. They have elections in Russia. That doesn't make Russia a democracy, though.
> If the model couldn't recognize certain tokens represent people then it wouldn't be generate fake stories about who those people are either.

That is simply not true at all. This is like saying that humans are incapable of (accidentally) lying because the result is incoherent. LLMs are just as capable of incoherency as the rest of us. (...well, maybe not, but they're certainly capable of incoherency.)
The other day, I needed to quickly whip up an internal dashboard with some dynamic logic. Being somewhat lazy, I just imported jQuery and some additional scripts for it, one of the small CSS-only libraries for basic styling, put all of the custom code in a single JS file and that's it.

No toolchains. No build process. No learning about any particular way of doing state managing or rendering or what have you. Just some files and some code.

It was delightfully simple. For bigger projects I do think that the likes of Vue strike a nice balance between features and usability, but I've also seen a lot of messing around with toolchains and package versions (or even stuff like needing to migrate away from AngularJS), sometimes it's nice to avoid all of that when you don't need that complexity.
It's weird to see React frequently treated in these kinds of discussions as the opposite of the good-old ways of doing things because React has great support for server-side rendering and form posts. Its server support was one of its major features that initially distinguished it from other front-end frameworks of the time and helped lead to its popularity.
I'd love to read that file. Of course, we're close (really close?) to being able to just ask an LLM to give us a personalized version of the script to do away with whatever set of flaws bother us the most.
FLUERS and GP's Common Voice dataset focus on read speech. I've observed models that perform well on these datasets be completely useless on other distributions, like whispered speech or shouted speech or conversational speech between humans who aren't talking to a computer.
I mean, bath salts are certainly illegal in most countries now, but when they were new, they really weren't. Since most laws back then were(and still are, in many places) largely just giant lists of chemicals, plants and fungi.

The not for human consumption stuff was just a facile attempt to avoid liability for any consequences.
Just by working in industry, union is forced upon you by law, and you have to pay their fees. The only way out, is to form your own union, with all paperwork. It really sucks for self employed folks.

The first statement is true in a few industries, but the second statements are false in any industry in which the first statement applies. If union membership is mandated, you don't get a choice in the union you join.

And for the last bit about self-employed folks: the only industries which mandate union membership in which it is also possible to be self-employed are the Hollywood guilds, which set compensation minimums. Hollywood union members are free to negotiate higher compensation, and many do.

The worst thing about all the anti-union FUD that gets spread on HN is that they assume that tech workers would be in the same kind of union as janitors, when the most similar structure would be the Hollywood guilds.
Could you provide a bit of technical information? The part about the abatement of hallucination would be especially of interest.

So have you assessed that llama3.2 (3B, I imagine - also 1B exists) is enough to answer properly to the sought level of accuracy?

Did you use nomic to create embeddings of the local body of knowledge?
It’s on the order of 10 million lines of code running some very specialized, very complex hardware. The reason everyone was buying them is because it’s even more expensive to develop that on your own but I’d be surprised if there isn’t a lot of reconsideration going on now.

As a simple question, some people say there isn’t a “kill switch” which I’d bet is true in the sense that there isn’t an admin panel somewhere you could just ground Finland with but … how could you be confident about anything in a codebase that large? That’s even before you consider whether, say, the chaotic DOGE cuts haven’t created an opening for Russia or China to find something exploitable even if the original designers didn’t intend it to be.
I see ChatGPT's bots pull down all of my Python wheels every couple of weeks.

Wheels that haven't changed in years, with a "Last-Modified" and "ETag" that haven't changed.

The only thing that makes sense to me is it's cheaper them to re-pull and re-analyze the data than to develop a cache.
