> Us tech workers could be leveraging the privilege we have to get better conditions for everyone.

Yes.

A bit of context here: I am European and take for granted many things related to social safety (healthcare, benefits, parental leave, or various sorts) and equal opportunity (free education, public transportation, etc.). Many views of Bernie Sanders are mainstream by European standards (vide https://www.quora.com/How-far-to-the-left-is-Bernie-Sanders-...).

Yet, in Poland, there are various lower taxes for software engineers (and some other similar professionals). I don't consider it fair. Yes, many people feel that they work hard (and they do!) or that their friends earn even more.

But at the same time, it takes talking with anyone in education, retail, or care to see that what is considered unacceptable pay for any IT job is, for many, a dream salary. While inequality is not nearly as enormous as in the US, it is still.

So yes, if these are system changes that benefit all workers - wonderful!

> A perfect example is non-compete clauses.

Yes.

In Europe, you are often paid by the previous employer if you have such a clause. So, it only makes sense in a reasonable case where you could directly pass know-how on to the competitors. But not as a leash.
How to write a Presto SQL query to get X result given example Y database where I fill in Y as a csv describing the table with the columns my query needs and fill in X as a csv describing the results I'd like to get out.

It doesn't always work, but I have an easy, quick way to test it out. When it does work, I've often saved lots of time.
Once I started learning more about biology, I realized that everything is just so complex. The body repurposes chemicals a lot, so you have things like serotonin being a key neurotransmitter in the brain, but also in the gut. And you have enzymes that are coded in genes, but then there are also networks of genes that are up- or down- regulated by hundreds of other genes, and sometimes only in certain types of cells or certain physiological environments. And then of course there are epigenetic and immune-modulated effects at the genome, gene network, and individual gene levels. Not to even mention all the feedback mechanisms and meta-feedback mechanisms (the drive toward homeostasis is POWERFUL), and effects of countless chemicals in our environment.

There are certainly clear-cut cause-effect relationships in biological systems, but even they will have edge cases and random chance to muddle the picture.

I would posit that the human body is far more complex than even the largest codebase, not least because it was jury-rigged together with no architect or style guide.

Also, in general, the more common the exposure, the harder it is to find a link; try finding a control group of people who have never been exposed to PTFEs, or HSV, and who also aren’t like hunter gatherers.

Flash freezing may kill multicellular parasites, but I don't believe it will kill bacteria.
This would imply that no part of the Constitution applies at the border either, which is surely not the case.
There will also be Jevons Paradox happening: LLMs reduce the “cost” of writing code, so more code gets written.

I already find myself building prototypes that I never would have attempted previously; it’s just too easy to have the LLM whip one up. LLMs also make it easier to do “grunt work” coding of writing validation checking and unit tests on non-critical code where previously I wouldn’t have bothered.
How would apps grant access to all the phones data though? Sure, they could intercept Google or Facebook or Microsoft, but I don't see how theyd get full access to the phone without an OEM helping them.

Apps are sandboxed. I don't see how it's possible.
It depends how one measure it. If you look at the total output if GitHub in a year and try to poorly extrapolate how much code is written in a year - and then Anthropic measures how much code their system spewed out, then sure maybe they emit 90% of the estimated total amount of code. But most people wouldn't define it that way.
Show HN: Aihanced – Automated document and spreadsheet editing with AI
I'm happy to share the MVP of my project. Its purpose is to do predefined actions on documents and spreadsheets. I have not found the same tool so I decided to build one.
I've started many side-projects in my life and rarely made it to the public because there was always something to improve.
This time, I share real MVP without sign-ups, payments, and all the things you need only when you have real users.
I hope some of you find it useful! Enjoy
I’ve just released logfire-callback on PyPI, designed to facilitate monitoring of Hugging Face Transformer training loops using Pydantic Logfire

The callback will automatically log training start with configuration parameters, periodic metrics and training completion

Install the package using pip:

pip install logfire-callback

First, ensure you have a Logfire API token and set it as an environment variable:

export LOGFIRE_TOKEN=your_logfire_token

Then use the callback in your training code:

from transformers import Trainer, TrainingArguments
from logfire_callback import LogfireCallback

# Initialize your model, dataset, etc.

training_args = TrainingArguments(
output_dir="./results",
num_train_epochs=3,
# ... other training arguments
)

trainer = Trainer(
model=model,
args=training_args,
train_dataset=train_dataset,
callbacks=[LogfireCallback()] # Add the Logfire callback here
)

trainer.train()

From religious perspective, the prohibition was lifted by divine decree somewhere in the 1st century (since Peter, first-century Jew living in Judea, is mentioned). Reported in Acts 10:

... Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11 He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

13 Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”

14 “No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15 The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

They also were pioneers of modern industrial practices. They researched the best approaches to workforce scalability, settling on a model of many distributed offices spread around cheap peripheral suburbs - something that might sound banal today, but it in the 60s/70s, when even factories were supposed to be as close as possible to downtown, it was pretty bold.

IBM has many shortcomings but they did manage to survive and navigate a century of tumultuous technological changes. Very few companies have done that.
I've been using https://www.ntlite.com/ for a while now for various custom/integration needs at home. Well worth it.

It's also nifty when I need to slap hardware drivers into a Windows 11 ISO on the fly to bring up a new machine.
I would take a brand new phone, with crowned King Trump as a background, browser history full of Tucker Carlson, and Horst Wessel for a ringtone. Then I'd fly through customs.

In fact, I often cross borders into/out of totalitarian countries. I usually uninstall all messengers, Firefox, financial and security apps and use Shreddit to wipe the free space. Then I restore everything after crossing the border. My laptop has a large movie file which is really a VeraCrypt volume where all the programs and data sit.
Depends on where they work.
Socials for me are mostly reddit/lobster/hn, I use aliases there and use VPNs/Tors to login to different ones. I have insta/fb with lovely shot that cannot possibly get me screwed over. Although... I have glasses... If a mao/pol pot returns and I fake not having glasses, I'm done even that way :( It is not a great time to be paranoid, I agree.
Not that I am planning to travel to the US at any point but the first thing that came to my mind was: why not just sending the phone by parcel, fly without it and pick it up later on? Even tough I find it embarassing that such hacks are necessary in the first place.
Why do you say that? Because of the word "regime"? I mean, Trump’s early term is notable enough that it could be considered a rupture of the previous US regime. None of the usual checks and balances seem to apply anymore, and executive orders are apparently law now.

I kinda like the way Boost did error_code[1], which got incorporated into C++11[2].

Essentially you got a generic error_code struct which has two members, an int to hold a given error value or zero if there's no error, and a reference to an error category which helps interpret the error value.

Effectively the error category is an interface, so in C terms it would be a reference to an error_category struct filled with function pointers.

There's then some machinery which allows you to compare specific error codes to generic error conditions like "file not found", abstracting away the specifics of the error code.

It's not problem free[3], but I've used this pattern in languages like Pascal and felt it worked well for me.

My impression was that an agent would ask you to unlock your phone and then just randomly scroll through your messages etc until they get bored.
Agreed, but you’re your bunching a lot of people into the category of slacker that don’t belong there.

A new tool released that basically lets you design a GUI through guided voice prompts. The 50yr old school teacher can “vibe code” all she wants.

The real problem arises when someone makes false claims they’re a developer when they’re just managing AI generated code. Making it your primary interest and then cheating to make it seem true.
This is also something I've realized about LLM coding: I have learned wayyyy more about tech I wouldn't normally try just by vibe coding and explaining what I want to exist. In the last few months I've learned Cloudflare workers/queues/Puppeteer, heavy Postgres features like policies, triggers, functions, trigram search, migrations, and a ton about RLS.
I _could_ have learned this stuff on my own but the friction is just too high, but with LLM coding it just shows me a working solution and I can tweak and ask questions from there.
Hono is pretty great, too! It has exactly what I've always wanted in a backend JS framework which is a React/JSX-like way of writing UI components but without actually using the React renderer on the FE. Next.js and SSR obviously also offers this but I don't think Hono even uses that, it's just JSX.

"WITHOUT having to babysit it or give it any tips hints or corrections that a non-coder would have been unable to do"

I find that question impossible to answer, because my programming experience influences everything I use LLMs for. I can't turn that part of my brain off.

Getting AI to write code for you starts with understanding what's possible, and that's hugely informed by existing programming knowledge.

I won't ask an LLM to build me something unless I'm reasonably confident it will be able to do it - and that confidence comes from 25+ years of programming experience combined with 2+ years of intuition as to what LLMs themselves can handle.

They compare people that got the old vaccines in 2014-2017 with people that got the new vaccine in 2018-2020. Some strange parts:

They say they are analyzing 6 years, but for the second group the 6 years period has not ended. This makes the comparison difficult.

These periods includes the covid-19 epidemic in 2020, with lock downs, changes in death rates and new vaccines. This makes any comparison difficult.

The comparison in figure "1 e" have very different initial slopes. I'd expect dementia to be a slow accumulation of small problems in the brain, so I'd expect an initial equal slope and after some time a difference. They start the comparison after 3 month, but I expect a slower effect.

Figure "1 f" has the same initial slope difference, but there is also a strange slope change in d=1750 and the red line is more noisy probably due to the unfinished 6 years period).

lol "fortune" whatever you say. that's why you're desperately snooping my other comments including that lame "gotcha" to find some confirmation I'm lying?

It's absolutely the goal. There has been a push from places like weather.com to privatize much of NOAA for years.

Noaa's free information is really good so it makes the playing field a bit too level for private companies. They don't really offer a substantially better product than NOAA so it makes their product less valuable.

A few years ago we had a company reach out to us saying they could give us hyper-localized forecasts for our ultra endurance events. After our first event using them I checked their data against NOAA. Surprise, their data was far less accurate than weather.gov.

Every private weather service is using NOAA's dataset and then tweaking it or adding their own data. All of them.

Yeah I was a jr developer for a year before I became a PM. That's the definition of being "somewhat non-technical" as I put it.

you've been a developer for some decades which is why your reality is threatened that your craft is increasingly becoming irrelevant so you had to snoop my profile to find some confirmation that your reality doesn't get shattered

this is nothing new of course. obnoxious neckbeard engineers who don't understand where the world is going have existed since the unix debates on irc. you'll find plenty of people who agree with you on mastodon lol.
What I found the most funny is the official executable to be downloaded from the official website that is named:

ping_installer (1).exe

You clearly know that someone downloaded a file (having already a copy) and just uploaded that directly to the official website.
You can get away with that once, but the downside is you can't rent a car again (from that company, and possibly other companies if they share information about fraudsters with each other)
Sounds like Tim was the manager. What exactly was the paid for manager doing?
Thank you for hints but the answer is about the same as I can find online - it just works with existing tools like Claude app or Cursor or Cline, but I specifically want to understand the mechanisms used and how I can take advantage of MCP servers using _local_ llms.
> These are locations heading for 100% renewable supply in the very near future.

I don't have a gas powered generator attached to my house. Therefore, if I put a solar panel on my house, then my property would have a 100% renewable supply of electricity

Unfortunately that solar panel wouldn't meet my house's electricity demand, so I would have to import the difference from my local power company. But that doesn't change the fact that on my property the supply is 100% renewable

> Or exported .. SA actually exports a great deal of peak renewable energy, it over produces in the daylight and uses that to charge a battery farm or to feed to the neighbouring state.

Peak generation hours are almost never aligned with peak demand hours. Unless those battery farms are capable of meeting the supply during their peak demand (very unlikely, I don't think there is any country with this sort of battery capacity built), then they must be re-importing electricity from those same neighbors who are still burning fossil fuels (or have other more consistent power supply like nuclear or hydro)
6 months is way too infrequent. If last time you checked the state of AI was 6 months ago, you'd miss - among other things - NotebookLM's podcast generator, the rise of "reasoning models", Deepseek-R1 debacle, Claude 3.7 Sonnet and "deep research" - all of which are broadly useful to end-users.

This is a complicated topic, but it seems especially difficult because there are cases where something has been clearly falsified, and yet people persist in believing it, and and even worse, don't seem to adjust their approach to the source of the misinformation as a result.

This leads to three interpretations, all of which are fraught for different reasons: first, that the person is the victim of a con or brainwashing operation; second, that they are strongly motivated in their assertion of beliefs, such that the belief is not actually an assertion of truth, but what they want to be true; or third, that they do in fact have some cognitive deficit.

The last is problematic for the reasons you mention, but so are the other two. The first is problematic because it suggests some vulnerability of the person, even if it's one that everyone shares. Everyone can be conned, but victims often feel shame about it, simply about being a victim. This leads to problematic situations where you can be labeled as insensitive for even suggesting that people were conned, as if you're shaming the victims rather than the perpetrator. The last is problematic maybe for obvious reasons, that you are left in a catch 22 of either accepting disingenuous statements of belief that are really hiding bigotry or other problems, or attack the underlying motives and get accused of name calling.

I'm not saying there's no way out, but it's complicated and involves a lot of mass psychology.

I didn't see many papers on solving this problem.

I see non-stop response as a generalization problem because normally every training sample is not of infinite length.

Targeted supervised fine-tuning should work, as long as you have enough samples. However, supervised fine-tuning is not good for generalization.

I actually think the other photo you link does it make it clearer, in the opposite way.

That photo shows the top bright circle clearly partially obscured by another dark circle of the same size. The only explanation is it's a partial eclipse of the sun by the earth. Nothing else produces that shape. And indeed, other photos show a full eclipse and are labeled as such, so we know that the timing is right! The shape is clearly defined -- it's not bloom or lens flare. Which means that above the horizon we see both earth and sun. And in the hero image, we see the same thing, as you describe it "a little bit of flatness". But that shape can't be produced by blooming a crescent. It's answered by your linked photo -- it's the dark, black earth obscuring the edge of the sun.

Which leads to my original question -- what the heck is the brightness touching the horizon of the moon? It simply can't be the sun. Also, the way it dips below the horizon shows that if it is real, it actually has to be nearly entirely "bloom". But then the sun above should have way more bloom and it doesn't... which means it isn't a real object at all, not even a real reflection you'd see on the lunar surface.

So I did a little bit more digging and it turns out this is a common effect in camera lenses, duplicating the sun. It's not lens flare exactly, but it's the same idea. Examples here on earth:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/15dj3...

https://www.reddit.com/r/atoptics/comments/1cqk6dv/took_sunr...

https://www.metabunk.org/threads/explained-two-suns-sanibel-...

So this isn't sunset. The sun is above the horizon, and the bright "sun" touching the horizon is a reflection of the sun in the camera's optics. It doesn't exist in reality.
I love to think that it’s your shared love of Custard that’s kept you and your wife together all this time!

But in some shoebox in storage are some Kodak instant camera prints of me and my uni mates with Dave and Matt when they played at our campus in 98. Such a wonderful time to be young.

The problem is simply observational. We don't even have reliable DNA and RNA sequencing of our own bodies. And we cannot reliably observe things in a host without knowing, to some extent, what we're looking for first. Even that space is so large, it's very hard to ascertain accurately. Biology is always suffering for lack of clear observations.

Also, adding complexity is the difficulty or even literal impossibility of observing the direct interactions of elements of the system, which operate at a quantum scale, that you would disturb and do disturb when attempting to observe.
