As I see it, the spreading at the deep ocean rifts brings fresh magma to or close to the surface and water under very high pressure penetrates extracts minerals. The spreading zone is where these black smokers = minerals dissolved under high temperature/pressure exiting this hydrothermal fluid at which point some minerals can not stay dissolved = black/dark particles that resemble smoke in the water. There are many minerals that stay dissolved in a mixture of oxidation states that are very nutritious to certain bacteria = a bacterial mat which supports a variety of worms/crabs/fish on an ecological chain. The minerals stop flowing 10-50 km?? from the spread and the smokers gradually cease us the minerals stop. The life exists as a variable band away from the spreading zone and after some distance it reverts to a dead zone with little life or smokers. These mineral nodules are formed close to the rift and no more minerals flow after 50-100Km - I expect the zone varies.
If they mapped the zones are gathered nodules outside this 50-100 Km zone - could they gather minerals while not hurting any life forms - bacteria/worms/fish? This spreading has been ongoing for millions of years = stay 500-1000Km away and gather minerals as well as hurt no life. I have seen videos of the plumes from the nodule gathering tests and they make a plume of fine sediments, but they could gather nodules with a screen and filter out the fine stuff and allow metals to be collected with little or zero harm to deep life as long as they stayed far from the vents. Of course = deeper sediments = more filtering needed. It seems to me way to do it is possible.
MCPs aren't specific to Cursor. Rather, they enable any IDE to become a Cursor competitor.

Example: JetBrains released an MCP server plugin for their IDEs recently and it enables Claude Desktop to seamlessly use the IDE for reading and writing files and even compiling or running tests against it.

And that's just one example; there are MCP servers for anything from VSCode to Emacs already. That means almost anyone can now use LLMs to generate code in their IDE of choice, just as they would do with Cursor.

In fact, MCPs are posing a threat to many startups, especially the "wrapper" ones.

Dairy is just one of the few things that were carved out in 88, and agreed to multiple times by both countries because it was important here.

In the meantime, the US has total dominance over our economy and food supply, and ownership of most of our large companies, resources, products. (As a lot of us are finding out now as we try to boycott...)

So, what exactly is the problem? A few small bits of our economy that the US doesn't have total and complete control over and now they just need to go for the jugular?

It's not being ganged up on or flagged. It did run into a few software penalties. Mostly that's because this general topic (His You-Know-Whoness) is the most repetitive/indignant one that HN has experienced in recent months. We're trying to avoid that, not because of the specific topic, but because those qualities (repetition and indignation) are the opposite of what the site is for, and destroy what it is for.

It's not as if HN has been lacking for major, massive threads about it, so I'm disinclined to switch the software off on this one.
A live image is an operating system image which you can boot from and use vs. an install disk which can only install, but there's no usable environment available).

A reproducable build means you can get the same source code and compile it, and it will be identical to the published image. This is important because otherwise you don't know if the published image actually used some other source code. If it used some other source code, the published image might have a backdoor, or something that you can't find by reading the source code.

Subtitles and dubs already solve the practical problem of making content produced in one language accessible in another, and in a non-destructive manner.

This AI lipsyncing nonsense is more like the rash of colorized black and white movies that came out in the '80s, or the modern day scourge of 4:3 shows getting pan-and-scanned to 16:9. The "problems" these solve are viewers being closed-minded about watching movies and shows that don't have color or "look old". The final product is generally going to be inferior to the original.
Musk is complicated. I recognise he has done interesting things, my personal feelings to not detract from that.

As for price, LIDAR has been built into high-end smartphones since at least the iPhone 12 Pro — 4.5 years ago. When LIDAR was new it made sense to avoid it, but I don't think that argument has been viable for a while now.

>If your job told you that you had to pay 10k to study French poetry for 6 months without pay, would you happy for the opportunity to a more well rounded thinker?

That's unrealistic.

1. That's just one subject.
2. Semesters and/or quarters are not 6 months.
3. Most colleges don't charge $10K for one subject for 6 months.

Having said all that, yes there were some annoying class requirements that I didn't particularly care for, but I still learned something from it. If nothing else, it allowed me to have more conversations with a broader array of people. Make no mistake, being an educated conversationalist impresses people. Being able to intelligently converse with more people because of a broader knowledge base has significant social and economic value. Imagine if you met your perfect mate by being able to talk about French poetry. Imagine your perfect company has a hiring manager who also loves French poetry. We are ultimately social creatures.

It is worth a fair bit. If you control the mirroring you can ensure the malware is flagged but not deleted, so forensics can assess how much damage has been done or would have been done, for instance.
As much as I - a Pixel 7 (GrapheneOS) user - would hate that, doing so would essentially put Android on equal footing as iOS and would give me a serious reason to consider switching to an iPhone. Apple's hardware is just so much sleeker, faster, and better than Google's mediocre Pixel line.

> Fans are really best only while you are feeling the breeze directly

Indeed! I use them thusly.

This is kinda the genius of those Japanese fan-jackets. It's essentially a fan connected to a flexible person-shaped "shroud" (AKA a jacket) which makes sure all the airflow is actually directed over a person's skin.

I was gonna invent something to solve exactly that problem you raise, only to realize Japanese inventors beat me to it. :-)

P.S. The biggest noticeable effect of having the fan on during the day was to accelerate heat transfer through the hot gable ceiling to the indoor air. Predictably, forced fluid movement accelerates heat transfer, so the "heat battery" of stored up nighttime coldness would rapidly deplete in only an hour or so. During cloudy weather this effect was a lot less, because the ceiling wasn't baking hot.
At least at my company, I think someone at least has to approve/verify the scan results. Of course it's still a risk, but so are external emails, vendor files, and everything else.
In my unqualified opinion, LLMs would do better at niche languages or even specific versions of mainstream languages, as well as niche frameworks, if they were better at consultig the documentation for the language or framework, for example, the user could give the LLM a link to the docs or an offline copy, and the LLM would prioritise the docs over the pretrained code. Currently this is not feasible because 1. limited context is shared with the actual code, 2. RAG is one-way injection i to the LLM, the LLM usually wouldn't "ask for a specific docs page" even if they probably should.

Instead of focusing too much on the analogy aspect (which, to be fair, was a very small part of the article), I tried to include lots of project examples so people could get a better idea of what MCP is, and how you can actually use it.

Appreciate the feedback!
> This diagram demonstrates how to get a trusted binary without reproducible builds.

Ages ago our device firmware release processes caught the early stage of a malware infection because the hash of one of our intermediate code generators (win32 exe) changed between two adjacent releases without any commits that should've impacted that tool.

Turns out they had hooked something into windows to monitor for exe accesses and were accidentally patching out codegen.

Eventually you just top trusting anything and live in the woods I guess.

We chose to go native with Rust instead of just using the screen-sharing provided from Webkit for a few reasons:

But you know what suburbs typically do have? Pleasant areas to walk in.

I walk my dog and meet neighbors who are sitting outside their houses. I also sit outside my house and meet neighbors who are out walking their dogs or just out for a stroll.

When I've spent time in big cities I simply don't see this, because there aren't good places to walk dogs and it's generally unpleasant to just be out in the street for the sake of it.

The idea that all suburbs are isolated nightmarish hellscapes of pavement and car accidents is some combination of a myth spread by city dwellers and a minority experience in a few types of McMansion housing developments.

> Perfect beings making imperfect choices isn't a contradiction, it's the very essence of free will.

Either perfect beings, including God, are capable of imperfect actions/decisions on some random whim, or they are not.

If they are, then the definition of perfection is meaningless.

If they are not, then God's creations were imperfect, which suggests that God also is imperfect.

> I’ll also go ahead and acknowledge that just because a being that exists outside of space and time knows something will happen, doesn’t CAUSE it to happen.

You're implying that an entity that has perfect foresight of the consequences of its actions is not responsible for those consequences.

I disagree.

> God valued authentic relationship over robotic obedience.

Robotic obedience is the only theoretical option for a relationship with a timeless entity who created the universe.

If God knows the outcomes of all universal starting conditions, then no outcome is less pre-determined than any other outcome.

I interpret the question as asking if I believe Linus has a track record of provoking escalating style behavior, if that's incorrect then ignore the following to re-ask and maybe I'll read it correctly the second time it's phrased :).

I'd disagree with that as his track record, though you won't find me claiming he is the perfect/ideal/flawless role model in that regard either. In my opinion, overall, he has reasonable and professional track record across the board these last few years (anything prior to that doesn't set the track record in my book). Especially if you read his emails regularly, not just the most popular ones about the most charged discussions he's asked to enter into. If you'd asked me the same question 10 years ago I'd've given a very different answer.

The point is not the individual tools, which at this point are just wrappers around the major LLMs. The point is the snake oil salesmen of major LLM companies have been telling us for several years now that it is "just about to happen". A new technology revolution. A new post-scarcity world if you will. A tremendous increase in technological output, unleashed creativity etc. Altman routinely blabs about achieving AGI. Meanwhile hallucination of the models is a known feature, unfortunately it's not a bug we can fix. The hallucinations will never go away, because the LLM models are advanced text generators (quoting Charles Petzold) producing text based on essentially probability that one token should follow the next one. That means mate, you can be a superstar at the "advanced" skill of "prompting" (i.e. typing in conversational english language sentences), the crappy tool will still produce output that does not make sense, for example type out code with non-existing framework methods etc. Why? Because with every prompt, you retrain and re-tune the model a little bit. They don't even hold the authority of a dusty old encyclopedia. You use several tools simultaneously, why? Because you cannot really rely on any of them. So you try to get a mean minimum out of several. But a mean minimum of a sum of crap, will still end up crap. If any of the the 3-4 major LLM engines had any competitive advantages, they would have literally obliterated the competition by now. Why is that not happening? Where is the LLM equivalent of nascent Google obliterating Altavista and Excite or an equivalent of Windows 95 taking the PC, React taking over the web frontend etc? And by the way, you know that there was another famous guy at Apple, right?
LLMs are like an unlimited, poorly written encyclopedia. Often inaccurate or not entirely helpful, but will get you enough of an idea to find better sources. Sort of solving the "I don't know what I don't know" gap.

I am not sure of the context of the passage, but I would guess that Fitzgerald was aware of the massive slaughter on the Eastern Front but felt that the cultural moment in Western Europe/America that lead up to the fighting on the Western Front meant that it was a different kind of folly than in the east. I don’t think he is commenting on which military was more effective.

Typing isn't optional in JSON, every value has a concrete type, always.
It matters to Apple, and those on WG21 that work on Apple platforms.

Ultimetely that is how ISO driven languages work, features get decided by those willing to join the process, and vote on what features become part of the next language standard.

Show HN: Craft Perfect Social Media Ads in Minutes
Can you point me to a language with any significant number of users that does NOT have a JSON library?

I went looking at some of the more niche languages like Prolog, COBOL, RPG, APL, Eiffel, Maple, MATLAB, tcl, and a few others. All of these and more had JSON libraries (most had one baked into the standard library).

The exceptions I found (though I didn't look too far) were: Bash (use jq with it), J (an APL variant), Scratch (not exposed to users, but scratch code itself is encoded in JSON), and Forth (I could find implementations, but it's very hard to pin down forth dialects).
Honestly I’m now even more confused
Android has been bad-faith open source for as long as I can remember.
Android is look-but-dont-touch source.
Its massive codebase that requires immense resources to build is not open for negotiation, its existence is to serve Google's whims.

Android was already a platform on life support. Google has wielded its authority to dictate how apps should behave such that even 3rd party stores do not stray far from Google's rules. Users of android phones have little hope to run a program from 5 years ago, or to roll back a bad update in an era full of bad updates.

Sure, I get it. But in Canada:

All federally managed things & services, including travel on airlines, airporst etc, fully bilingual. All packaging of goods, across the whole country. Access to legal services, no matter where, bilingual. Highway signs, etc. The list goes on.

Here in Ontario, at least, right to full public school education in French, in the French system, if you come from a Francophone family.

The idea being that even in areas of the country that are not Quebecois or predominantly Francophone there are rights granted because of the French being part of the founding of the nation.
