I'm fully expecting this sort of thing to be mandatory for all vehicles at some point in the not too distant future. The tech has been there for years now, and I'm honestly surprised some politician hasn't honed in on it and started mandating it be used for law enforcement yet. We're barrelling toward a world where we are under constant surveilance, and tech can and will be used to ensure that laws are enforced proactively rather than reactively. I'm sure there will be pros and cons of that world, but having seen some of the absurd laws in place I suspect there will at minimum be some really painful years of evolution.

I'm sure mandating everyone have these things would go over like a lead balloon with the current culture, but that will change. They're following the classic playbook of starting with just a very small and unsympathetic minority (in this case reckless drivers). They can then slowly expand the covered group from there until it covers everyone. And of course law enforcement vehicles won't be speed limited, nor vehicles carrying important people. It wouldn't be safe to limit them.

I’m not sure the same happened with “delve.” I saw an analysis of paper abstracts showing a clear uptick of “delve” starting with the mass-adoption of ChatGPT. Maybe it suddenly became a trendy word — especially in paper abstracts — or maybe more paper abstracts were edited by ChatGPT.

Nice to see some experiments with languages. I really like the way it looks.

With all the AI focus on coding, it feels like we're going to end up sticking with a few languages because that's what it's good at or trained on.
It's stranger than that. The Linux terminal runs VGA adapters in an EGA mode that is rarely if ever used in DOS/WIndows systems. The mode provides up to 512 characters. One of the high-byte bits if each word is sacrificed to select from the first or second set of 256 characters; and another is sacrificed to specify underline on or off. That leaves 8 foreground and background colors, instead of the 16 foreground and background characters that you would get on a PC. Linux doesn't appear to have any concept of code-page. Which characters can be displayed on the terminal depends entirely on which EGA font is loaded. And that is determined (by default) by the currently configured locale, although the choice of font can be manually overridden. Having 512 characters to choose from allows the Linux VGA terminal to include a superset of characters that would be provided in a DOS/Windows codepage, while also guaranteeing at least the single-line line-drawing characters in CP437.There are, for example, fonts that allow display of glyphs in all Eastern European codepages, and fonts that provide a superset of European codepages and Cyrillic.

ncurses renders to an underlying framebuffer which contains 32-bit Unicode characters, plus attributes (FG/BG color pair, and 8 additional attributes like underline, bold, blink). I'm not sure which layer of crust this framebuffer belongs to -- something related to TERMINFO, I think. The intermediate framebuffer is then rendered to the actual VGA framebuffer in a separate pass, which maps 32-bit unicode characters onto glyph indexes in the currently-loaded VGA font.

There are some provisions for Asian character sets (Vietnamese, for example, is plausibly supported). I'm not sure if Chinese or Japanese VGA terminals were ever adequately supported in Linux.
Teleprompter!
Relying on (someone making) a test to ensure you use a variable is even worse than relying on a linter.
Of course they do mind, ask any dark skinned person with a university degree about their experiences.
Yes, that's a typo: the first two strands have hooks pointing up, the third to the left.

I forgot to mention that you can run the interpreter with -p to convert the program to pseudo-code. This makes it much easier to tweak the examples and experiment. I'll add that to the readme, along with more pseudo-code for the example programs.

And thanks so much!! Very excited to publish (Sept 2025).
More sophisticated clients require we use dashes correctly. I first encountered it pre-pandemic, so in professional contexts it's not a sure-fire signal of LLM use — Should you see em dashes correctly used in the Hacker News comments or Reddit, for that matter, then it's pretty reliable tell... Usually. ;)
It's the best way to interview candidates by far.

What would you prefer instead? X years in stech stack, keeping devs boxed in their role for their entire careers.
Yeah, but that there is such a distinction is a little sad. The use of companies for tax avoidance can also lead to some prejudice against small companies in general, which is unfair to those playing nice.
> Honestly I doubt there's any practical benefit as the chip would become quite a lot larger.

There will be at some point when area becomes too small to accommodate the heating and the added complexity becomes a way to shrink the entire chip to sizes that wouldn’t be possible otherwise.
It doesn't tell whether it's due to censorship or some other reason.
It is, of course, a very simple system if you never plan to render anything that isn't an ASCII character, or a value in US dollars. Things get complicated pretty quickly in DOS/Windows world once you wander outside the ASCII character set range. And there are strange and wonderful things in EGA and VGA hardware (standard, non-standard, and outright genius-level hackery) that are ridiculously complicated that are hardly ever used if you are fortunate enough to be an American who never uses anything but DOS.
Thanks! I’m not sure if there’s an official name for it — I originally saw the game a decade ago at my university and just recently decided to build my own take on it. It definitely has some Tower of Hanoi vibes. Let me know if you find an official name for it!
Eh, religions have to dispel a dozen graver epistemic threats than that before breakfast every morning. If and when evidence of extraterrestrial life is found, religious people will adapt their beliefs to accommodate it and retcon it, just like they always have.

It's what they've done, very successfully, ever since they had to stop burning heretics at the stake.
Yes it's a fair observation. In terms of use cases, we did focus exclusively on CI/CD, and only recently expanded our marketing to other use cases like AI agents. It's understandable that this expansion can be surprising, we're trying to explain it as clearly as possible, it's a work in progress.

I just wanted to clarify that in terms of product design and engineering, there is unwavering focus and continuity. Everything we build is carefully designed to fit with the rest. We are emphatically not throwing unrelated products at the wall to see what sticks.

For example, I saw your comment elsewhere about the LLM type not belonging in the core. That's a legitimate concern that we debated ourselves. In the end we think there is a good design reason to make it core; we may be wrong, but the point is that we take those kinds of design decisions seriously and we take all use cases into account when we make them.
This is the first thing I found searching for `vim` by date and finding something with enough upvotes to look like it made it to the homepage https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43168781

Compare that to this piece from DF that I submitted that didn't make it to the homepage https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42231308

The former is fine, but says nothing that hasn't been said about Vim a million times before, the latter is a detailed analysis of the way Apple functions from a small angle with huge implications (e.g., acquisitions like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro continue to be industry pillars).

I don't like disparaging anyone's work the first piece is fine, but this comparison easily illustrates which piece is being treated with the kids gloves, and which sends some folks fuming.

Look to be clear, I love Vim, it's the main app I use to do my work everyday, but it doesn't have the problem where you can't have a rational discussion about it like with Apple.

Hacker News used to the place where you'd have a discussion about whether Apple acquiring Pixelmator has a chance to make it a Photoshop competitor, now instead it's the place where programmer's try to tell photographers that Photoshop peaked in 2007 and that they should really try Krita (so no I don't think HN has "shifted for the better", I miss those conversations).
This is laughably wrong.

I can stop paying my electricity bill in november and our state's utility companies CANNOT cut me off until the spring, because without heat I would literally die in Maine. There are similar laws for gas utilities.

I can have a billion dollar bill with Verizon, but if I dial 911, they are legally obligated to connect me to emergency services.

Also, ask people who work for utility companies how well any of this works to actually compel payment from the kind of people who are good at abusing debt.

Answer: Fucking not at all. My brother worked for the cable company, rather limited regulation in terms of requiring the company to continue servicing someone who was delinquent. 95% of his job was still disconnects, often involving someone showing up to the door with their rifle to make a point.
Like I said, have fun with your algorithmically designed opinions. I'm going to stick with evidence based reporting and fact checking.
I've been Googling "em dash" and copypasting from the Google results for a solid 15 years now. Long before LLMs.
For those unfamiliar with getters:

While this is true, this is an amazingly silly omission.

Serbian and Croatian XKB keyboard layouts have had em- and en-dashes since early 2000s even if they were not standardized: AltGr (right Alt) + hyphen (to the left of right Shift) produces an em-dash, and press Shift on top, and you get an en-dash.

This is how long I've had them easily accessible on any keyboard (I even have them converted to MacOS keyboard layouts for use with Karabiner).

> I don't get it, are the corporations making a shit ton of money or is it cheaper for the school? If both of these things are true, then it's a win-win

It's a win for the corporation, but a loss for the children and the healthcare system. They're selling unhealthy food that causes diseases at a good profit margin.

> They would almost certainly accommodate very quickly, because you know, they're making a shit ton of money

No they wouldn't. They'd tell you apple slices will raise the price by 50 cents per student per day (or whatever) and then you're back to the school budget issue.

The US system has for decades managed agricultural subsidies to ensure massive amounts of corn and soybeans are grown and sold at low prices to food processors and as livestock feed. The outcome is that your high-fructose corn syrup drink, white bread bun made with high fructose corn syrup and hamburger from a cow that got 80% of its lifetime calories from corn is very cheap, but many fruits, vegetables and nuts are expensive. (With occasional carve-outs for things like almonds being cheaper than they should be due to water management in California, but that's a separate issue).

Who keeps the 1?

You write pages 1,003–4, instead of typing out 1,003–1,004 which is just unnecessary.

Works the same with two digits, or even three: pp. 1,899–902.

This is standard practice and arguably clearer.

I've only ever seen it done with page ranges, though. I'm not sure if it's done with year ranges? E.g. 1984–5? Or 1989–92? You work with page ranges constantly in academia, I just don't see year ranges much in any form.

Currently on mobile and going from memory, but I remember having to push out quick patches for something around 2020-ish or late 2010s? The tip of my tongue says it was a use-after-free vuln in a patch to openssl, but I can't remember with confidence. I'll see if I can find it once I get home.

Worth noting lest I give the wrong impression, I don't think security is a reason to avoid Debian. For me the hacked up kernels and old packages have been much more the pain points, though I mostly stopped doing that work a few years ago. As a regular user (unless you're compiling lots of software yourself) it's a non-issue

Pricing is ‘contact us’ and going to be region-dependent. I would expect to pay ca $ 10^4.5 for a panel that produces the ‘virtual sun’ effect. Same goes for competitors (I know of Coelux but maybe there are others. Not sure how quality/price compares). But maybe GP will reply to you.
I definitely appreciate seeing people take initiative within the open source community to keep maintenance alive for packages that are used by thousands of projects. Was any effort made to contact the original author ever? Seems very odd to see them drop off the face of the Earth like that with such a popular project.
The better question is just "are you actually just selecting for symptom occurrence by socioeconomic group?"

Like you could modify the question to ask "is the model better at diagnosing people who went to a certain school?" and simplistically the answer would likely seem to be yes.
Ah! © is on C (makes sense!)
Yes, and one of my points was: if metal becomes as important to musical history (over a similar time span) as classical romantic music or jazz it will get the same treatment.

I'm arguing that reasoning "classical music is important because it is written" is backwards. It is written and studied because people think it is important. The degree that the formalisms are applied is directly related to how important the elites in the academies think the music is. Please don't mistake that claim with me suggesting pop music or metal are in fact as important as classical or jazz. I'm just pointing out that nascent formalisms for those genres obviously exist.

But my main point is, just because classical music has been deemed important enough by the academy to write it down, study it and enforce its strict reproduction, that does not imply that it is easier for an AI to learn the genre or reproduce it effectively. I have no doubt that just like millions of humans, multi-modal AIs will be able to use the vast library of recorded music in all genres to easily reproduce those genres compositions perfectly well. There is no privilege to classical just because the historical context meant it was committed to paper rather than record.
MCP: The Differential for Modern APIs and Systems
The differential revolutionized transportation by solving a mechanical impedance mismatch. MCP is poised to do the same for software integration by solving the API impedance mismatch that has plagued systems for decades.

The future of integration isn't more rigid contracts – it's more flexible, intent-based communication between systems that can adapt as technology evolves.
> If you want to be official about things, use the en dash to replace a hyphen in compound adjectives when at least one of the elements is a two-word compound.

I've used FSD a lot. Supervising it is a skill that you actively develop and can get very good at. Some argue that if you have to supervise it, there's no point, but I disagree. I still use it for much of my daily commute even though I have to supervise it and occasionally intervene. It's still a significant net positive addition to the driving experience for me overall. I would legitimately consider using it a skill that improves with practice; there's a threshold of skill where it becomes a huge positive, but below that threshold it can be a negative.
Honestly this area is so interesting to me because of how incredibly strongly light (or lack thereof) affects in the winter. It also seems to affect me more strongly than most in regards to sleeping patterns. Too much blue light in the evening and bam, brain refuses to sleep until 2am or later.

So for me the biggest factor missing in these kinds of projects is a dynamic color temperature. While we get that from products similar to apples adaptive lighting, that’s missing in products like this. It seems we can only really have one or the other.

My dream is something like this build but with full adaptive and programmable color temperatures based on time and seasons.

Honestly I want to build something like this but my area of expertise is too far into the software domain, and not very far into the hardware or electrical engineering domain.

What they don't tell you about working for yourself is the fact you can be effectively on-call 24x7 every day. I am currently supporting four wineries that are processing thousands of tonnes of receivals 24x7. It happens for two months of the year and I am expected to be available from 06:00 to 22:00 during that time, there is no phoning in sick or having a lazy day, I work alone and only have one reputation. I don't want to be that contractor forever known for destroying a clients business.

You can only do this for so long though, when two or three problems come in simultaneously it can cause issues as you drop something halfway through when something more important comes in. I once executed an SQL update query without a where clause under this kind of pressure, and ended up working until the next morning to recover, only to start again at 6AM. I have even had land-line calls at 2AM to bypass my mobile restrictions. The rewards are great, but don't let anyone tell you it is always easy.

My current system is 16 years old now and I know all the ins and outs so it has been pretty easy to keep on top of things the last several years, however I am glad the replacement system is nearly written and it will be somebody else problem in 2026.
No? Sokoban involves a single agent pushing blocks around a grid. No block can ever move without being pushed, and nothing can ever cross anything else.

In this puzzle, the only way for anything to move is independently, and everything is free to cross anything else.

> a sibling with alpha-thalassemia

I have no clue what that is or why it shouldn't change the diagnosis, but it seems to be a genetic thing. Is the problem that this has nothing to do with the described symptoms? Because surely, a sibling having a genetic disease would be relevant if the disease could be a cause of the symptoms?
The key takeaway from the article is that the race etc. of the subjects wasn't disclosed to the AI, yet it was able to predict it to 80% while the human experts managed 50% suggesting that there was something else encoded in the imagery that the AI was picking up on.

We've had the opposite experience, especially with o3-mini using Deep Research for market research & topic deep-dive tasks.

Why the hate for leetcode testing?
It's the exact opposite of math.

Math postulates a bunch of axioms and then studies what follows from them.

Natural science observes the world and tries to retroactively discover what laws could describe what we're seeing.

In math, the laws come first, the behavior follows from the laws. The laws are the ground truth.

In science, nature is the ground truth. The laws have to follow nature and are adjusted upon a mismatch.

(If there is a mismatch in math then you've made a mistake.)
Deepseek is already using SSDs for their KV cache: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/3FS
Combining the various "tells" of an LLM (em dashes, delve, grammatical signs etc) with the context (Reddit comments vs professional setting), you could establish a rough probability it was AI generated. At this point, it's the best we can hope for.
As I mentioned above, I've had them easily accessible with a keyboard layout for >20 years on all the systems I've used — the only caveat that I find it really ugly with no spaces around em-dashes, which is usually recommended for English.
Yep, using the tool in secret broke the interview spirit for sure. And now it's just a way to promote his software, it seems.
Good call! The facing direction was meant to help, but I can see how the colors could still be tricky. I’ll look into making it clearer — appreciate the feedback!
Wow, this is being downvoted. (Please help me understand why as this comment is a summary of interactions that I have when folks ask me about my equipment.)
It would be really hard to get such good results on coding challenges without planning. This is indeed an odd hypothesis.
I have extremely high faith that the C compiler will produce very reliable x86 assembly code.

I am extremely pessimistic that LLMs will ever reach that level of reliability. Or even close. They are a great helper, but that's all they'll be.
