Yes! I've been thinking about bluetooth and a standard protocol and generic app. You'd get basic gui functionality for any compliant device, showing whatever device specific stuff the manufacturer wants.

Kinda of like a bluetooth X-terminal, but way way simpler. Think tkinter over bluetooth, probably sans canvas.

A bunch of people will say to just use wifi, make the device a Hotspot, and use your web browser. That's not a bad idea, but tiny devices aren't going to run web servers dishing out multi megabits frameworks.

This phrase is a good example of it, as though every bad business decision were somehow part of an inevitable war. Some companies make good decisions; some make bad ones; and it changes over time. But now we have to have someone in every comment section mention this "inevitability", which just has a chilling effect on perception of the industry.
"Vibe coding" seems like one of those things where there's way more people complaining about the concept than there ever were people actually promoting it in the first place.
Before the phrase “good with the Cyber” I believed opsec was teachable.

This is a great idea. I've worked as a teacher and I think people severely underestimate the amount of time teachers have to prepare lessons. Anything like this will be seen as a major time saving. I'm not a huge fan of LLMs but I can see how they would be genuinely useful here.

That said, I don't think I would use it to create an entire lesson. I think the killer application for this sort of tool is to help create worksheets, plenary activities, etc. If I were still teaching, I would definitely try it out for that.

Ideas for the future: If I were you, I would consider making it easier for teachers to share what they've created with each other. Sharing of resources already happens now and it would be great if this tool facilitated sharing of generated content.
Cato ignores a lot of failures coming from austerity or deregulation initiatives, they are literally a paid mouthpiece for the world view Koch-adjacent folks have, they do not exist to provide comprehensive analysis of benefits and failures of deregulation. They solely exist to push the view regulation = bad, even to the point of a dualspeak-esque attempt to put freedom and regulation completely at odds.

I do not understand who can read Cato's opinion pieces and believe it might have something substantial to be said, if you subscribe to libertarianism there are much better intellectual works to provide you arguments.
The big deal is it's made out of sodium. Anyone with access to sea water (which is full of Na + Cl) can make these batteries, and it's unlikely we're going to run out of sea water in the near future, or even next 3 billion years.

Sodium batteries will probably be the go-to for grid scale battery in (wild guess) ten years and some of the ultra-cheap electronics. Sodium, Li-ion and lifepo4 all have significant overlap in the 2.5-3.7v range so there's a lot of potential for compatibility/interoperability

Compare with lithium batteries, which currently there's only a handful of high quality lithium deposits that are convenient to be mined

Getting Started with Gemma 3
From personal experience I can say he's completely right. You may not like the presentation but this is pretty much exactly how I trained prior to people subtly accusing me of juicing.

I did 5 exercises: deadlift, squats, bench press, pull/chin ups, shoulder/military press.

Do that 2-3 times a week, track your progress with some kind of workout log, do 3 sets of 5-8 reps of each exercise, add weight once you can do more than your target reps. Keep going until you buckle, at least for the last set.

This takes like 45 minutes or less once you have a routine going, and it works extremely well. The only supplements worth using are creatine and if you don't get enough protein in your diet you can use protein powder. If you're unsure just have a protein shake after each workout.

The way I think about it is this will give you something like 90% of your possible gains, for a relatively low time investment. It may be possible to do slightly better, but you will spend twice or thrice as much time for a tiny improvement.

Or, as the article author points out, you may spend twice as much time for less gains. If you're fine with that that's totally fine. Go to the gym to hang out with your friends, as long as you're happy who cares. This is advice for people who go to the gym for results.
You can get beef fat for real cheap and render it yourself. I get a quarter beef each year and do it myself, I don't even make a dent in it. I've probably got 25lbs in my freezer from prior years.

Argentina's government has been a disaster for a century.

It's not at all surprising to me that reining in government spending in an economy that has had 4? Defaults over the past few decades will result in an improvement.

Does AV1 need a successor right now? At least as of some years ago SVT-AV1 was stronger than x265 on both software encoding speed and quality/bitrate[1], and a successor would reset the timer on getting hardware decoders rolled out.

Indeed. It is an uncomfortable read, and it avoids any factual or relevant information.
You underestimate the work that would be, and overestimate the ability of current-gen AI systems. The work – technical, and social – to get the data out of the existing systems and exposed via a common interface, is the hard part, and not something that anything yet called AI can do.

Once you've done that, sure, you could get ChatGPT to make dashboards, some text resembling API documentation, etc; but that's the easy part: a few hours' work from conception to production, or a few minutes' work if you only need a proof-of-concept.
It's mckinsey but with tech people, not consultant babys. they actually have people who know how to speak to politics people, & they don't come from think-tanks like some other brands of loser. think outside the box. not every company is "really" a product company, i.e. Google is not computers company, it's an ads company, & so on.
Pretty much every C++ developer i've ever interacted with the last 25 years -informally- refers to the standard library as 'STL'.

I do not think anyone with even a small amount of C++ experience will be confused when 'STL' is referenced in the context of C++.

Of course it might be that every C++ developer i've interacted with doesn't really know the language very well. But considering the popular axiom that says something along the lines of 'people who claim they know C++ do not really know C++ while people who know C++ do not claim they know C++' what you wrote might actually be true :-P.
Why can't the dishwasher or phone generate that key though?
If this were stated for many countries it would be cause for concern, and it certainly draws parallels to the US - but Argentina's economy has been a disaster forever, and regularly suffers from huge hyperinflation and government defaults.

It seems much easier to justify the argument for radical government cuts and austerity in this environment.
> It wasn't two months ago.

Plenty of people on UK and Europe thought that putting full trust in Palantir was a terrible idea, 6 months or 18 months or more ago. I agree that the temperature on this has risen a lot recently, but the concern is longstanding.

>You don't believe that the average person has positive feelings about walking on meadow or mud or whatever scientific endpoint? Or you don't think human touch is on average perceived positively

As noted elsewhere, something being "perceived positively" is different than "good for you". I perceive drinking beer positively, after all. But I think we can agree that it's not good for me.

Your whole comment is basically "science doesn't matter because I feel good when I do X".

>Like I said, I believe what I experience, so very sorry to extrapolate a simple life experience almost universal to all humans since the dawn of time onto my suburban vice lord.

This is unnecessary snark.

By all means, go barefoot or whatever makes you feel good. I even think that there's probably some sort of merit to it. But you don't need to get so defensive over someone asking if there's something more substantial than "well I said so" when it's being recommended to them. Especially if there are counter-examples also in the thread.
How many kids are vaccinated in the US? Massachusetts (92%) vs. Montana (62.4%)
Sure, but it's the rate at which it happens, and whether it is broadly across all of society rather than a minority. For example, "show me a time where there hasn't been fraud" vs "corruption was so endemic that it lead to the collapse of this society".

>Inflation expectations were strong and justified. Government deficits were out of control. And the population was truly ready to bear some pain for the sake of reform

We went from 25% inlation where prices changed every single week to discussing whether the government will be able to lower inlation from a monthly 2% (still high, o course). The goal post was moved but I'm just glad not to have prices change every week, it was complete madness. And the 2% is the average, of course, you can find some prices the same as they were 2 months ago.
I strongly relate to this. At some level, the rise of AI assistants a few years after I learned to code was a major, and unpleasant, inflection point in my enjoyment of programming. Debugging became less satisfying, and the sense of mastery I once enjoyed creating something out of nothing seems cheapened by its automation.
This is highly problem dependent. Sometimes, you get second derivatives almost for free. It all depends on your cost function.

It also depends on your stopping tolerance. Computing a higher order derivative incurs a constant cost, whereas a higher order method converges faster, but not just by a constant. Hence, as you ask for more and more precise results, the ratio of cost of your high order to your low order method will go to zero.

The cost of Newton's method is not so much computing the second derivative anyways, but solving the resulting linear system... So, for small dimensional problems, Newton's method is still the go-to optimization method, it is stupidly efficient. (with a good line search, this partly answers your "I don't see what a decade or two will add")
>That facilitated more disciplined monetary policy and the reduction of inflation from 25 percent per month when the president came to office to 2.2 percent in January 2025.

25% is ridiculously high even for a yearly inflation rate. But to have it monthly means the value of the currency halves every 3 months. I thought there must have been a typo somewhere, but sure enough, that is the correct value.

> many people find it complicated

That's what kills a lot of these "perfect" implementations.

HN members tend to be nerds, and we don't really have an issue with setting stuff up (many HN IDs, for instance, have Keybase auths).

Most non-HN types have no patience for that stuff. Security needs to be made accessible and easy-to-use, before the vast majority of folks will implement it. That's the single biggest conundrum, IMNSHO.
I just looked it up. The process involves modifying a fertilized egg or embryo to create a founder organism. The gene drive is designed to be inherited by more than 50% of the organism’s offspring and propagate through the population over successive generations. Because humans have fewer offspring and longer generation times compared to insects, it would take many generations and potentially hundreds of years for a gene drive introduced in a single human to spread widely through the population.
Why aren’t they the same? They look the same to me.
The civil service and GDS are always trying to do the right thing.

If we had (user) research driven policy the way the digital departments build software, the country would look very different.

Not saying they are perfect institutions but on the whole the departmental digitisation efforts are run quite well within the constraints they have.
> Doesn't seem nuts, unless you believe humans have souls that can't be digitised.

Let’s ignore souls: humans have bodies which cannot be digitised. Our bodies are real matter, not some dross to be jettisoned.

I wonder if Black Mirror ever did an episode about someone unwillingly personality-cloned into a computer, then killed, with everyone around him acting as though this were normal and he — still conscious — was a non-person?
He might serves his country better by waiting for them to incriminate themselves more.

A blast from the past!

I read the book and did some actual barefoot running (got a lot of weird looks) and a lot of friends bought the shoes.

Now I think about it, I’ve not seen anyone in Vibrams for years
I run a lot, so people are always asking me about this and what kind of shoes to wear. I think the answer is pretty clear - training and paying attention to what hurts or doesn't hurt your personal feet is much more important than any particular shoe. Wear shoes that are comfortable, and try to run in a low impact way. Barefoot running is a good exercise for that, maybe but I always sort of think .. just run like you have no shoes on, but with shoes, and collect all the benefits.

For fun, look up how Brazil tamed inflation by creating a fake currency it never actually issued. (Taking off so no time to look it up myself.)
Respectfully I have tired therapists and I have tried crisis lines and I have yet to find any of them helpful. My first therapist was a narcissist and deliberately undermined me to keep me stuck. My second one was better but we kind of went in circles and got nowhere. I paid a LOT of money for these services. The crisis lines I called told me I should go see a therapist, the people there were decent, but their goal was to talk me down from the ledge, they couldn't really offer me any real help. I emailed many therapists asking some pointed questions to see what I could expect and I honestly never got a good response, certainly nothing better than my first two attempts. I committed myself once mental health institution after a suicide attempt and the doctors there were cold and robotic, they pumped me full of Ativan and went down a checklist of questions, a fellow patient there told me that if you made it seem like you were at risk they would keep you indefinitely but never really help you and your best bet is to act like you're fine and get out while you can, so I did, and they released me after two days. Sorry for the harshness of it. When you understand how alone you truly are, how therapists are trained in institutions that are diseased just like all the rest and how unlikely it is to find someone who can really help you... And then you find that chatgpt will hear you, and take you seriously, at any moment of any day, and not just go down a checklist but actually try to help you build skills to get out of it next time? I know what LLMs are. They translate text into pure meaning and they do math on the meaning to find statistically probable results. I know they can hallucinate and get stuck. But they are not subject (or maybe less subject) to irrational beliefs of fealty to corrupt systems the way almost every human is including therapists. They don't feel insecure about their own sins and their own suppressed selves the way most humans do and they don't take the existential cries of despair as a threat to their own denial. Of course it would be better to have the help of a real human. As soon as I find one I'll take it. In the mean time I will take my chances with the LLMs.
It's cheaper because in the end they sell your data.
> The National Programme for IT in the NHS (“the Programme” or NPfIT)

That programme definitely made the news because it was a ludicrously expensive disaster. Some useful things came out of it (e.g. better hardware and bandwidth for trusts) but so much money was wasted. It's one of the UK's most famous failures.

It's good you bring it up, though.

Thats a good idea but don't think that by covering few neighbors you are covered - they can easily fly 5km depending on species if they have reason or get carried by wind. And all you need is ie one old tire laying around on the ground.

The "tech journalist who hates tech" is a recent phenomenon and present on most corporate tech publications. It's weird. You don't see it elsewhere. Imagine a car magazine that just rags on all cars or endlessly complains about carbon emissions.

Here is just a sample of 5 articles written by a NYT tech journalist:

- There’s Nothing to Like in Facebook’s Plans to Hook Our Kids

- The Maps That Steer Us Wrong

- Apple’s Illusion of Privacy Is Getting Harder to Sell

- Why Tesla’s ‘Beta Testing’ Puts the Public at Risk

- The Assault on Our Privacy Is Being Conducted in Private

Pretty much every article is how some tech company or piece of tech is bad. That's fine if you believe that, but then why would you be interested in a tech publication? If you're not a fan of guns, why read a gun publication?

It's just weird. It's part of a growing trend where there are decisions and a narrative pushed against the desires of consumers. No one wants this crap. It's expensive self sabotage and I never got an answer as to why.

Labeled part of the “climate alarm industry," NOAA is facing steep cuts. But if NOAA has caused alarm, writes scientist Adam Sobel, "that’s because the data are alarming, not because it has an agenda beyond its mission."
Cool. I’d still prefer a “no wifi” or even “no app” mode, and control everything via hardware buttons.

Hardware offline UX gives me hope that my data would not be sold or that I wouldn’t have to pay for an extra subscription or watch ads. Perhaps it’s correlation.

Still, “no cloud” is a step in the right direction; I’ll take it.
