You sayin you were capable of ordering any product on earth from your couch and having it delivered within 2 days? Or building an interactive video (modern website) accessible anywhere on earth instantly (all used just to display people's resume and contact details lol)? Or navigate anywhere within minutes from the optimal pathway, without thinking about it? Or research and answer any question you have about anything in the world within a minute? Or hold daily conversations with all your friends in group chats despite vast geographical gaps? Or play games with them in - again - interactive cinematic masterpiece movies accessible anywhere on the planet?

So much time was saved you don't even realize it because most of the above was just practically impossible to do before - and frankly beyond the scope of what any human actually needs. But the scope crept anyway and now they're all normal parts of modern life taken for granted. As for where that time went - capabilities exploded, but any spare time also got eaten by tighter work hours from a more competitive market. That's capitalism for ya baybeeeee
it's loading cross-domain images and sometimes that doesn't work due to cors issues or something else. None of the articles are hosted on nreads - they are coming from nostr relays.
Why doesn’t every blogpost contain an example of a question you ask?

Magical thinking. They think that somehow making us all the bag holder of last resort will lead to ever increasing bitcon prices which will then be able to magically pay off the deficit.
>It looks like teachers are actually creating presentations in minutes

That's wonderful! I assume the presentation did not require more than 5mins to review, maybe it was only 2 slides :)
It's pretty obvious that it means gold has appreciated. In fact, it's up 37% this year. There is laziness here, but it's not the reporter's.

Lostmyspace.com: recovered music from the botched Myspace server migration
For anyone wondering what is happening on this website and why it's just another blog: It's not. nReads connects to relays (specified initially by me, but configurable by users). From there, it fetches long form events via json and renders them in the UI. This makes the content impossible to censor, and is the only time you truly own your presence and identity.

The profile comes from a cryptographic key pair (per nostr protocol).

All of this content can be fetched via any other platform-agnostic client that wishes to surface long form events.

Happy to answer any questions.
Not a visual model, but extremely excited to see how Qwen3 performs.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43455084 https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/36878

Qwen2.5-VL looks like an incredibly fantastically useful system, that I don't see any other publicly available models offering anything like. It makes me wonder if we really have tools capable of using it well, since imagery and video is so relatively uncommon. I wonder how we can better prompt & load multimedia data into context for these LLM.

I will now refer to this as the jschoe test in my writing and publications as well!

It's interesting to think that maybe one of the most realistic consequences of reaching artificial superintelligence will be when its answers start wildly diverging from human expectations and we think it's being "increasingly wrong".
> “Our algorithm right now is provably faster, in theory,” Ahmadi said. He’s hopeful, he added, that in 10 to 20 years, it will also be so in practice.

I don't see what a decade or two will add to this technique.

My understanding is that the proposed method is faster in the sense of sampling efficiency (of the cost function to construct the Taylor series), but not in the sense of FLOPS. The higher derivatives do not come for free.

It was never the interesting to see the mathematical maneuver to massage the Taylor series into a more digestible form and prove the error bounds.
> Its like vegans "quitting" meat. Not a cow was ever saved by this gesture

If adult men in the US eat something like 67 pounds of beef per year on the average, and cows average 430 pounds of meat, that's about 1 cow every 7 years. Of course there are likely other animals to account for.
> we call it a tantrum if you're small

I think we call it a tantrum when it’s harmless. As soon as it goes beyond that, either for adults or children, it’s not a tantrum any more.

Not sure that we have a word for it though, as neither of those is supposed to happen.
Yes, revalue gold. No, do not buy bitcoin with it.
In general any observations about how he was able to convince congress / government of the potential of a nuclear navy. He doesn't come across as a necessarily easy person to deal with in many contexts and it's always felt like there's a missing link in explaining his effectiveness at getting what he wanted. I mean he went from being someone the navy wanting gone to probably the most famous/influential naval figure in history and largely through maneuvering outside of the organization. But how?

I also would love if you find anything out about his interactions with Takis Veliotis in the 80s (who if you don't know about, feel free to message me or see my submission on).
Correlation vs. causation is addressed in the article:

Note that these studies aren’t suggesting that heavy ChatGPT usage directly causes loneliness. Rather, it suggests that lonely people are more likely to seek emotional bonds with bots — just as an earlier generation of research suggested that lonelier people spend more time on social media.

My heuristic for HN is that when commenters focus on the headline, they almost never have actually read the article they are commenting on ;)
I guess they don’t do ultras anymore, but where was the announcement for it? What other announcement was vaporware?

> And many apps that would benefit greatly from being resizable were non-resizeable instead, just because it was easier.

Maybe, but Delphi had anchor fields that you could use to make everything resize nicely.

The problem with that time period was that most applications were designed to not be resizeable, including most of the ones that came with Windows itself.

We still have that - some of the Windows programs right now can't be resized (Thinking specifically of dialogs and windows for device manager->driver details, or explorer->options).

This wasn't a Delphi problem at all; it was a Windows problem because that was the convention on Windows at the time.[1]

Consumer reports for me embodies the phenomenon where, whenever I have even cursory familiarity with the subject material, their reporting (ratings/reviews) become laughably inaccurate and misinformed from my perspective.
How it works:

SnipSnip connects to relays over the nostr protocol and fetches code snippet events via json.

The website is just an interface to surface these events and then layers some interactions like forking, starring etc.

This is a platform-agnostic event, meaning they can be accessed on web or mobile (apps). This makes it possible for anyone to build a similar app that can surface all of the same events.
Their valuation is not marked to market. We know their previous round valuation, but at this point it is speculative until they go through another round that will mark them again.

That being said, they have a user base and integrations. As long as they stay close or a bit ahead of the Chinese models they'll be fine. If the Chinese models significantly jumps ahead of them, well, then they are pretty much dead. Add open source to the mix and they become history.
This article isn’t compelling at all. Most standards aren’t even “open”, you need to pay thousands of dollars to access most of the ISO standards for instance. It also ignores that companies may be choosing standards as they know interoperability typically increases productivity and adoption, which can be profitable.

For example, you can be cynical and reason that Microsoft created the Language Server Protocol to keep people on VSCode as it expands the languages it can support, reducing people switching to other IDEs for a specific language. The fact that it helps other text editors is just a byproduct.
There is no need to belittle me while not providing a practical example where the average consumer can be harmed by this bug.
I don't think I would be awfully surprised anymore if they said they'll be buying $Trump coin or whatever it's called.

It's just at that level of ridiculousness already, on so many sides, that very little is still unexpected.
This is a bit of a tired subject, but I suggest you read the ruling. The reasons that it was struck down were director conflict of interests, lack of process, lack of reasonableness, and inaccurate disclosure. Each of which have extensive legal arguments that went into the conclusion.

I think that it's certainly arguable that shareholders did not have proper representation and their representatives were not looking to get shareholders the best value in the deal. That's the argument that speaks the most to me, although obviously the compromised board of Musk cronies is the big obvious one.

Coming out of a surgery once, the nurse asked me if I was in pain.

I said “No, I don’t think so. I feel like crying, though.”

“Well, that’s probably because you’re in pain.” At that point what I considered as pain hadn’t really manifest yet.
> Problem is, some of those people are racking up high interest debt to do things like feed their kids.

Yes that is a problem.

Lending them money at ruinous interest rates is a cruel solution.

Perhaps we could do something about poverty that exists amid such huge wealth.
Yeah a big motivation for us was avoiding the need to keep another system up to date. Gatehouse basically sits at the execute policy layer, and we let the application code decide how to unify the data (or not).

Oso local authorization looks like a fantastic solution.

I have read good things about Nvidia Shield support - it is still the best streaming device out there and gets bug fixes and feature enhancements even for way old builds.
I started reading the article, but I didn’t get far enough into it before bouncing due to this disclaimer being too far down.

It also seems like the disclaimer directly contradicts the title, so I don’t think we should blame readers for that.
Hard to take the article seriously without any recalculation of the compensation package value. What is it worth today? More? Less? How many options and what was the strike price?
Realistically, what should happen is reusable queries in the database with pre-cached plans as well as planner scripting and eliminating the index chooser for standard transactional queries. For real-time ad-hoc queries, the planners can be used, but for the ones happening 1000s of times a second... best to stick with a cached plan.
Where would you put Arcanum, then? It has a well-defined arc that you generally have to follow... but you can skip a whole lot of it if you just know where to go on the map.

I'm split on whether or not to read those posts. On one hand, now that I know his credentials, I know it won't be a complete waste of time -- but on the other, I fully expect his analysis to be chock full of infuriating "the way it was done was the only way it could have been done" assumptions that I would disagree with, discover that many before me had disagreed with, to no response because this isn't a dialogue.

EDIT: I read the post. I really shouldn't have. He's not just unimaginative in the industrial sense, he's spurred on by terrible objectives. I am going to save my sanity and bail on this before I get suckered into arguing with madness. Still, thanks for the link.
I think there is some danger of becoming a forever-child to this virtual parent, but overall it sounds positive.

I'm hesitant still with spilling any secrets into openAI's servers.
It's Yahoo Finance. Lazy reporting is expected.

It seems like the White House is planning on selling US gold holding above a specific dollar value. Since the price of gold in dollars is rising, mostly because the price of the dollar is falling, then they're probably planning on emptying a significant portion of the US gold reserve to allow every major Bitcoin holder to clear their positions.

You’d be surprised at the number of people who don’t. The rise in popularity of vibe coding won’t do our industry any favors.

I connected my TV to the internet when I set it up (also, turned off microphone ad tracking which is deep deep in settings), then connected it to an AppleTV and cut the internet to the TV at the router. I can switch it if I need to, but never have in the year since I purchased the TV.
That was likely just a generic wave at the general level of histronic hairshirt brigading on either side of the aisle that threads of political nature can attract.

Admittedly I have little talent for extracting wasps from stings in flight.
That's not a fair assessment though, as no one is buying anything like Trump coin with public assets. It isn't ever expected either.

Intuition comes from deep understanding, a set of learned heuristics. That implies experience that lets you skim and trust your quick judgment. And it informs the probability you assign to the correctness of your judgment.

As I understand it vibe coding and “vibe check” refer merely to “a looks good to me” feeling with no deep understanding, not knowing what you don’t know, which ignores security holes and edge cases.

If my kids “vibe code” a fort with cardboard boxes and blankets they have a different intuition about stability, security, longevity, and the purpose of a fort than I do.
For the record, well over 90% of Bitcoin holders already are in the clear. I would imagine the same is also true for gold.
There is an illusion, the illusion of money, which is the result of a combination of commodity fetishism and modern currency.

When you fall into this illusion, you can no longer tell the difference between money and commodities, between commodified money and monetized commodities, and between gold and Bitcoin.

I am sure that many people within the Fed and the Treasury are aware of this and capable of overcoming this illusion, but the question remains as to the extent to which such rationality can influence decision-maker

for now, i'll consider this is just a planned hype of bitcoin, they will not do it for real
Yet, they thought the 1 frame flash was insignificant enough to ship the game with it instead of spending time to workaround the bad division. But thank you for providing an example.
TSLA has a 136.58 (and increasing) P/E ratio because of Elon. It's a meme stock because of Elon. Some investors buy into Elon's promises.

TSLA will drop like a fly if Elon leaves.
Well. That's a pleasant surprise - Intel making the right move here! There was so much unforced error around avx512 strategy.

According to the steam hardware survey for Feb 2025, AVX512 support is already up to around ~16%. That may not sound like a lot, but considering that it's basically all coming from Zen4&5 based CPUs..

Once Intel's next design also supports it, it's probably worth targeting for consumers in relevant markets.
I think this is pretty much a “everyone can agree it’s idiotic” thing?

The only people that should be overjoyed are current holders of bitcoin.

Which I don’t doubt includes (somehow) a lot of the people active in the administration.
I don't think correlation vs causation is the right question. Loneliness was clearly rampant long before chatgpt showed up. The question is whether chatbots are capable of reducing people's loneliness. To me it feels self-evident that in the long run, they are far more likely to increase feelings of loneliness than reduce them.

For me, the only thing that can reduce loneliness is conversation with another conscious entity. Many, if not most, people are barely conscious so this is hard to find in the physical world. But I don't believe llms are conscious, so for me they are a complete dead end for reducing loneliness whatever other virtues the may have.

>The US is plenty collectivist. Patriots who put country first and would die for it? That's collectivism. Someone who puts their family ahead of themselves? Also collectivism.

Our discussion is on the topic of whether the US and Europe have common values. You can call this stuff "collectivism" if you want. But ironically I think it still indicates some deep US/Europe value differences.

No one in the US believes people should be obligated to serve in the military. It's considered an honor which receives societal support and recognition. This feels more like voluntary altruism. The US has a similar approach with charitable giving -- last I checked its charitable donations are among the highest in the world. In Europe, by contrast, things are organized along obligations. Europeans don't give to charity as much; rather, they're forced to pay taxes so the government can hand out money. And they take that same mentality to the transatlantic alliance, implying that the US should be obligated to defend them. It's quite jarring to me when here in the US we celebrate the voluntary sacrifices of our service members, whereas Europeans take our service members as a given, and complain when we discuss withdrawal. You should celebrate more when another country chooses to defend you, not less.
Mr. Trump's return into White House made news about America interesting again.

Exactly.

Many (if not most) human dynamics do not have a single direction of causality.

The whole premise of cognitive behavioral therapy is that human psychology can be described as nested feedback loops between behavior, emotion, and cognition.
Some absolutely deranged comments accusing the EFF of being in the pockets of big tech. There are hundreds of threads on EFF topics on HN, and pretty widely I think the EFF sees enormous support. And I have never seen such bald bold baseless negative accusations hurled about before! Some absolutely wild shit jumping out to try to slander the EFF this time, totally out of the blue!

They must really be touching a nerve. Some absolute slime-tastic behavior. Again, never backed up, never substantiated, just broad accusation with no evidence, totally out of the blue.

The EFF has said all sorts of anti big tech things. They've had some real energy & excitement for FTC anti Big Tech monopoly action. They'd had data portability / adversarial interoperability arguments. They've argued again and again and again, unflinchingly, for the user.

I absolutely cannot believe some of the replies & accusation I'm reading. There are thousands and thousands of comments on EFF matters, and we are seeing waves of absolute deranged insanity the likes of which we have never seen s before. Utterly unmoored positions, with no arguments, no support, just blandly writing off some of the best pro-digital-citizen pro rfc8890 people on the planet as being secretly not what they've seemed for decades. Shame on you, you who would unleash bedlam and madness against this planet!

Section 230 is absolutely required for user content to be hosted online. The Wolf of Wall Street, Starton Oakmont, sued Prodigy because they didn't like something that was posted. Prodigy lost, causing or vastly accelerating their downfall. Savvy senator & one of the only people in Congress who understands technology Ron Wyden got 230 added to the DMCA, a fallen awful terrible piece of legislation that's been chipped away at, rolled back, as the one amazing incredibly positive shift, that's on par with Al Gore's work to allow priviitzed use of the internet in allowing online space to become a thing. We would have so little without 230. Shame shame shame on the fools, morons, and know nothing's who would post comments saying it should be withdrawal or repealed; none of us would have a forum to talk about such a thing online, none of us would be commenting at all, without 230. You monsters.

I know it sounds like boasting, but I don’t. Customers find me. Referrals, word of mouth, reputation work best and the successful freelancers I know get their customers the same way. I also cultivate long-term relationships so I’m not spending a lot of non-billable time looking for customers.

For the last ten years I have worked through an agency that connects me with customers. That particular agency represents people who already have a customer base and reputation.
