- Figma -> Penpot

I'd have to know a bit more about you mean by "various cloud services", but if you just mean "applications we run ourselves", it sounds more like a small consultancy project than a packaged product that can be offered.

A credit card gives you ~30 days interest free credit before they charge you, Klarna not even two weeks.
Its interest free, but the payments are less flexible and if you miss one then the fines are very high.
Out of interest, why not just PXE boot prebuilt images (buildroot/etc) that run from memory as your OS? That would save you the hassle of maintaining a stateful server, installing an OS, ensuring configuration is up to date, etc.

Hey HN! I’m pumped to share Aiko, my Japanese tutor AI—learning Japanese should feel like chatting with a friend. Check it out at https://japanesecomplete.com/aiko.html —no signup needed for the demo!

Aiko uses xAI’s Grok (latest model) to craft natural Japanese replies and AWS Polly (Mizuki voice) to speak them. Pick a topic like "Greetings" or "Ordering Food," hit "Click to Record," and talk to her in Japanese—she listens via Web Speech API, responds, and plays it back. It’s real-time, with a mic level visualizer and auto-scrolling chat, all in client-side JS (React + Tailwind).

This ties into my Japanese Complete project (data-driven, 90% real-world Japanese coverage). Sold a $450 lifetime plan this morning, so I figured it’s HN time. Next up: server-side polish, auth, and more topics. Would love your take—especially on UX or scaling ideas!
You apparently have never been in the situation of making a trivial change to production code and then have thousands of tests fail because of overuse of mocks.
Yeah, they do it all the time.

You framed this as a loss of confidence in the techniques that prove the absence of various flaws. This bug should not undermine such confidence as the bug was always in the place (the spec) that would allow such bugs.

If insurance companies use this information to inform coverage decisions, then it's a moot point right? Just because you and I (who am also in this field) understand the limitations of the models and the data, does not mean that powerful entities will not use it to do stupid things.
Isn't the original inclusion of the auto keyword more in line with what you expect from design by committee? Including a keyword which serves no purpose other than theretical completeness?
I have no idea why you think NASA would have gotten to the moon starting in the 70's. Every single dollar was being spent flying the Shuttle and setting up the ISS during the 80s-2010's.
Of course, it's kind of the point of having borders and control, if they let anyone in without verifying, it's not even worth having a border.

Going from France to UK is like that, and before Shenzen, it was like that from EU country to EU country. When I was young, we had to wait for 2 hours with my parents while they checked everything was in order for a Spain border crossing (we were in a big RV so it makes sense).

People on HN have very soft views of the world, being too idealistic libertarian or some sort of socialist derived ideology.
Most people may not be criminal but you have to process everyone crossing the border as if because otherwise it's pointless and you will never catch the criminals...
Nano-loaning is getting out of hand.

If you default on the 4 free interest payments, Klarna or underwriter will impose a 28.99% APR…

I really hope the cap of interest rates at the federal level gets some momentum. These types of companies need to die off.
Ok, 130 million books against $100M training costs. You charge an (unrealistic) 100% tax for the book usage. Each author will get less than a dollar. What is the point other than enriching publishing companies?

Indeed. People forget that one of the purposes of democracy simply to keep rulers honest and allow for the replacement of components that aren’t working. Which isn’t to say that ruling factions don’t spend a lot of time in democracies trying to neutralise this.

They have to retain data about the person who requested the deletion which seems eminently reasonable. In the future if you sue them because you can't access your account that you paid for, they have a record that you requested said account's deletion.

Similarly they obviously can't withdraw your data from the anonymized research projects they pursued.

Typically, Lisp is quite flexible, via macros and reader macros, but the smallest core is still fixed in function (the part that implements special forms, order of evaluation, etc., basically eval and apply). This makes even that core replaceable on a form by form basis. Interesting from a theoretical perspective but not very useful in practice, and performance killing as the author points out.

I made Giulia, an expert CV writer for tailored and enhanced Job Application
Hey HN community, I'm Nino, Giulia's builder!

I'm super excited to finally launch Giulia! For the past few weeks, I've been heads down building an assistant that can help people make the perfect CV for specific job applications, tailored for the requirements and that can highlight the right experience - no more generic or standard CVs!

The Problem

Applying for Jobs is stressful. Competition is tougher day after day and recruiters receive tons of random applications for each Job Posting they are pushing out. ATS systems screen automatically CV, and 82% of them are not optimized for it. In addition to this, we job applicant tailor their CV for each specific Job posting they are applying for.

I worked really closely with Talent Acquisition managers and Career Coaches experts, and this is one of the 3 main points they suggest to candidates:
- "Read the JD before applying"
- " Highlight concrete facts"
- "Tailor your CV for each JD".

What is Giulia

Giulia is a personal AI assistant that helps Candidates craft the perfect CV for each JD they are applying for.

- Current CV, Job Post Analysis and Job Matching
Giulia analyze your current experience and the Job Posting you are applying for and show if there's a match.
She highlights your strengths, weaknesses, and how well you match the positon, suggesting areas of improvement for the specific role.

- Clarity Improvements and Experience Enhancements.
Instead of a standardized CV, Giulia asks you questions to show recruiters how your experience aligns with their needs, deep-diving into all the relevant experience and projects that can help you to stand up among other candidates.

- Tailored "About Me" Section.
Giulia will write for you a tailored About Me that you can then use as CV introduction or on specific questions that the recruiter could ask. A perfect 150 word resumé that shows how well you are suited for the position, without sounding salesy.

- Your final Enhanced CV
Giulia will pack together all the information recovered during the process and will write for you the perfect CV for the specific position you are applying for - in a .txt format easily editable and that you can use quickly in your favorite visual editor.

How to get started

Sign up for free at Giuliacv.com and test how it works. Then if you like, you can simply buy credits, depending on your needs.

Here is a discount code for the Lovable Fam: LOVE35 for a 35% discount on our credit bundles!

We are working already on adding new features, but I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions!

Special thanks (and much kudos) - A huuuuuuuuuge shout-out to our (real) Giulia, an amazing TA expert who is helping on crafting the brain of Giulia !
This is equivalent to something like cuDNN, a CUDA library.

> Due to the number of working people shrinking relative to the number of retirees, there's a fundamental conflict of interest between the older generation, and the young generation facing greater and greater financial burden to support them.

The older generation's burden on the younger generation has always existed. It was paid by labor, usually uncompensated by women of earlier generations. Now, the burden is paid by money from tax revenue and/or personal savings.

We need to expand the financial base for many social services, including elder care. It is long past time that we tax wealth, as the wealthy extract their money from our pockets through various rent-seeking schemes.

The idea you are specifying is called Muntzing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntzing - named after a CEO who supposedly made the poorest TVs on the market, but also the cheapest. Which left him with lots of money to spend on marketing those poor-quality TVs to people who they would not work for, who had to pay for their own return shipping.
That chap is a marketing genius. Articles ostensibly about him are effectively a promotional tour for his new game (available in all good stores prices $xx.xx)

I got a similar vibe from RobinHood adding sports prediction markets.
AFAIK klarna gets a cut of the payment (similar to interchange fees for credit card payments), so merchants in effect end up subsidizing the interest-free option. It's not any different than credit cards, which you don't pay any interest on if you pay on time.
No we wouldn't, I worked on routers in 1997: the differences with IPv6 made our job much easier. The hard parts about IPv6 are changing the number of bits makes everything incompatible. That means all software and books needs to be rewritten to work with the new protocol and there is no way around that.

Of course you probably never worked with source routing in IPv4 - I spent a lot of time testing it because marketing couldn't prove none of our customers used it. Even then nearly all routers shipped configured to drop any packet with source address routing, but to comply with the rfcs we had to make it work.
No. The other reasons have failed.

Those other reasons will only muddy the waters.

I've seen the opposite with Python where there's so much junk in a single file it's also impossible to navigate.
Have you read the fine print on their website? It’s literally just a credit card/payday loan. The rates if you miss a payment go as high as 33% APR

https://www.klarna.com

Edit: since it might vary by location, here’s what footnote 6 says for me, in part:

> A $1,000 purchase might cost $181.04 per month over 6 months at 28.99% APR.* *Rate ranges from 7.99%-33.99% APR based on creditworthiness and subject to credit approval…

Yes. I'm not an expert in compilers, but how is the first c compiler also written in C? How did they compile the compiler?
man that's the engine of modern day slavery or commonly referred to by the players of the game as the trap :)
>A financially-secure person can put it on their credit card, and pay no interest because they always pay their full statement balance.

klarna offers a 4 equal interest free payments option. How that any different from a credit card?
Then maybe you should tell us the best use cases.

What problems do you solve with your product?
IDK, contrary to popular belief we don't all work for lockheed martin so i really couldn't care less about the military-industrial complex losing business. I really don't see that as a bad thing; it's pretty obvious at this point that a significant amount of US sabre-rattling is a result of the incestuous relationship between politicians, high-ranking military officers and defense contractors. I suppose this could have down-stream effects for commodities like steel and that's unfortunate but there's no way the military-industrial-complex could possibly be reduced without that happening.

But more to the point, you seem to be under the impression that Americans benefit on a personal level from our country's global empire. We really don't. Like I said above, there are a lot of fat-cats making big money grifitng off government contracts, often with overt conflicts-of-interest involving their connections in the government. Some of that money goes to their employees and ultimately into local economies but largely it's just a circuitous way to enrich assholes.

If you ever visit America, try driving about 150 miles or so out of whatever major metropolis you're staying at and take a look at how depressing this country really is. These people don't look like they're living in the epicenter of the world's most powerful and influential empire. It does not matter to them if Europe buys up the new f-47 or whatever. They could care less if the EU becomes a major military superpower in its own right. That's why when you look at these election maps, it comes down to urban areas backing the democrats and rural areas backing the trumpublicans with surprising uniformity.
Fair enough. I find it to be lonely and without adaptive management it can be alienating from your peers.

It depends what you mean by simple. C still is simple, but it doesn't include a lot of features that other languages do, and to implement them in C is not simple.

C is simple for some use cases, and not for others.
Both types are forms of bankruptcy in much of the world, exactly like the US. It usually isn't differentiated which because many companies that go down the restructuring route end up at the insolvency end when debtors aren't onboard with their plans.
I think that the sort of people who would snatch up a DNA database to put people on a list would be willing to accept some collateral damage.
The business model is essentially the same as credit cards, but with "fees" instead of interest payments. That is to say, Klarna takes a commission from merchants and the rest of their income is from people who didn't pay on time.
The US is said to have a submarine that can cut into undersea cables and install a tap which is no small feet because there is a dangerous high voltage cable to power undersea signal repeaters in them.
The article says "...we can obtain a near real-time image of the server screen". Implying that what they have is an image file, not text. Getting keywords out of an image file would normally take an OCR step. A single API call to Claude does the trick without the extra tooling.

You can't refer to this collection via a slice (std::span / &[T]), so it's not what I meant when I said "contiguous hole-free storage".

Anyone here doing rhythm work without sequencers?

I've been noodling with a side project for a couple years trying to figure out how to replicate folk drumming patterns by adding LFOs together and doing beats at the zero crossing.

How much do you think the US is spending on NATO?

> ...because, its obviously not any better than the 'tool use' API that everyone was already using. It can't be. It doesn't do anything differently.

Instead of you writing tool use code (which requires you to know how to write code, and to put in the effort), you spin up a server that provides that tool use code for the LLM.

As an example, you could hook up an "email" MCP that connects to your email provider and provides a "get_unread" tool and a "send_email" tool, and then go nuts having a chat with your LLM saying "hey let's work through our unread emails, bring up the first and then come up with a draft response for it, for me to review before sending". Hook it up with the "linear" MCP, and tell the LLM to also raise tickets with all the relevant details in your project management tool.

Of course you could write those tools yourself, and control all of the prompting, etc, but the point of MCP is so you don't have to write anything.

That's the ELI5, I think. "pre-built tools for the tool use API".
Not really, assuming a legit lender that isn't screwing you in the fine print somewhere.

But buying pizza (or almost anything, really) on credit is a bad idea regardless of the lender, unless you have credit that's zero interest if paid off every month, and you're disciplined enough to do that.

Most people posting on HN probably fall into that category. I wonder what percentage of people using DoorDash every day for lunch are that way.
