Sounds complicated. Why not just figure out which genomes are simply correlated with people who don't support you and then pay off a bunch of scientists to write a bunch of garbage so that the medical industry doesn't care for them properly.

You do that kind of stuff across enough axis and the people who ought to be leaving your supporters dangling from the overpass will be too marginalized and preoccupied to do much of anything.

You don't even need "high tech" to do this sort of stuff. Depostic regimes have been doing it for centuries.
You just proved my point, thanks. Citing two known sources of lies and lack of credibility.

On one hand, cool. On the other hand wow have they been leaving a lot of performance on the table.

How does the performance compare to NVidia now?

My mother has been thrilled ever since I gave her a set of matching units. Repairing it to keep things that way was far cheaper than replacing both of them, or even one of them.
Ask HN: Is there a better alternative to Google Maps Timeline?
I loved Google Maps Timeline, which kept track of every place I've been on a given day. I could look at a day and see my driving, walking, flights, look at a place and see when I last visited it.

Unfortunately they moved to an on-device storage for security reasons and it hangs every time I open it. I also just discovered that it might not have transferred my old data from my old phone since it was encrypted on device.

Is there a good alternative to this app?

I don't really mind being tracked like this. The cell phone companies and everyone else are doing it anyways so I might as well get use out of the data.
It can be quite the convenience to have a alert which follows your current notification preference settings (e.g. if you're sleeping you don't want to hear the dryer just finished but maybe your SO who is awake does) and can be a quite ding or vibration rather than a buzzer loud enough to be heard across the entire house.

That said I'd much rather it be a simple local HomeKit integration instead of cloud only custom app BS.
Short summary, this.
My guess is as a honeypot: see who would publish this alleged "leak" and give the administration justification to "open an investigation" on them.
Every company I've worked for still exists and many will clearly continue for many many years (some previous employers were Universities).

Some previous roles I was involved in solving "this could end the business" situations, so I do thank you for making me realise that I laid bricks (or more importantly; helped detect and repair serious foundation problems) for my employers.
While we're at it, it'd be great if we could avoid remuxing e.g. facetime audio, which is AAC, and notification sounds, into a single stream before sending it to bluetooth. Would be nice to avoid the latency and just shove the raw AAC from facetime into the headset, and when a notification ping arrives, send that as a separate audio stream with maybe a different codec

It's not "a societal problem" if I forget, for a week, that I've left out a yogurt on the counter, and it spreads mold.

It's not "a societal problem" if I fail to notice my body getting hungry for 6 hours as I try to work out a particularly enticing programming problem, and end up irritable and headachy.

It's not "a societal problem" if I blow up at a friend (or partner, or coworker, etc) because I have trouble regulating emotions, and trouble recognizing what's happening inside until it's too late.

There are certainly some symptoms of ADHD, and some ways that they manifest, that are, indeed, only a problem (or vastly exacerbated) by current societal expectations. But many of the symptoms just make life harder no matter what society is like.

ADHD is a disability, and should be treated as such.

Unfortunately, it's the kind of disability whose most common manifestations mostly make even very well-meaning people think that those who suffer from it are lazy, immature, or lacking in willpower.

Update: The title of the book should have been “Taking Charge of Adult ADHD.” It’s a great book; my psychiatrist recommended it, and I’m grateful for it. Full of actionable ideas and suggestions.
If it wasn't that, then what was it? This is the golden question that, apparently, hundreds of millions of Americans are unable to answer.
At some point, we have to look at this pragmatically. To me, it's not about FAANGs getting over on the every man, it's about making sure we maintain the opportunity of playing on the same field, with the same resources.
In most modern appliances, if the board is "broken", it's usually just one simple controller and a few resistors. Usually takes only a few minutes soldering.

But in your case it sounds like a replacement was long overdue anyway. Better be careful with appliances that use water.

I live in an apartment building with a shared laundry room (but everyone has their own washing machines) in the basement.

Last month a neighbor's old washing machine - with many pre-existing issues - broke down. The dampeners for the drum failed, and once it started spinning, it just "walked" away, ripping the tap out of the wall.

The water flooded the entire basement a foot deep, including the storage units and underground parking. Took a full day before you could set foot in it again, a whole month before everything was truly dry again, and I lost a lot of things (including lots of old tech).
I was referred to a school counselor in high school because I couldn't sit still, my behavior was inconsistent and I had a hard time focusing.

If that person had caught it, and referred me on to get an ADHD assessment, I would be miles better off.

Instead he gave me exactly the advice you just did, and it achieved nothing. Guy actually owned the whole food / wellness / woo store he referred me to which makes it worse.

Now I have my medication I look back on shit like this with absolute scorn. I know you probably intend the advice in good faith but its absolutely not a replacement for medicine.
I went to night school for a Masters in Information Science. It was 95% paid for by my company. I still kind of regret it. The people eho just worked extra hours got promoted much faster than the people who got a degree. It has never helped me. It was a waste of time and a waste of a few thousand dollars. Probably 75% of it was stuff I learned in undergrad or on the job anyways. I'm so disillusioned and feel like the world is so corrupt.

I recently applied for a demotion in my company and got turned down because I didn't match "the profile". The manager then told me the profile for the job, which was basically python, SQL, and Tablaeu. They then told me that other candidates had "real world experience like internships" (this is an entry level data analyst role). I told her examples of my on the job for each one of those, including my certification as a Tableau Data Analyst and building Tablaeu dashboards. I guess "the profile" also includes being young. I might have a disability, but I'm not stupid. I can see what's really going on. Fuck that shit.
The hard-to-swallow truth is that American models do the same thing regarding Israel/Palestine.
I think the goal you describe is categorically wrong. If what you say was the case - billionaires wouldn't exist.

Capitalism's primary focus is production. The more you produce, the more you are rewarded. Quantity has better profit margins than quality. So the winner is someone who can produce the most and reach the most customers.
Digital products happen to be the best for it. They are, relatively to other products, easy to scale, produce, and even easier to distribute. Quality needs to be just good enough to make a sale.
Me neither: MCP Servers are systems that provide context, tools, and prompts to AI clients. They can expose data sources like files, documents, databases, and APIs (https://mcp.so/)

... or a TailScale network. I've been leaving open-webui running on my laptop on my desk and then going out into the word and accessing it from my phone via TailScale, works great.
I feel your pain, my work is also using docker-compose.ymls for development. It works very well, except for the occasional misbehaviour on OSX because of that darn middleman VM.

Every once in a while I check up on podman compatibility... But by now I've made my peace with that and accepted that the rootless philosophy is just too different to ever be fully compatible.

This tool is still cool for prod though. I have a couple of hobby projects running on bare metal nodes under handcrafted systemd services (though currently in usermode containerd), I might just try migrating them... Whenever I find the time for that.
Well, no. One thing are language abstractions, another thing are algorithmic abstractions; language abstractions exist for human convenience, algorithmic abstractions are... Algorithms. Consider this: can you implement a hash table in your favourite language? If true,can you implement it in assembly for your favourite architecture? And if true, can you binary code it on a limited architecture?
If you stopped on the first yes, an LLM is aready more advanced.

Show HN: Making SDK/API docs usable in LLMs (zero setup for companies)
I'm building ChatVisible AI — a tool that makes dev-focused companies (offering SDKs/APIs) instantly LLM-ready.

It turns documentation into LLM-usable, up-to-date knowledge — so developers can use AI tools (like Cursor or Copilot) to build faster without hitting outdated or missing docs.

It’s LLM-agnostic, requires zero setup on the company’s side, and gives devs a much smoother experience when integrating third-party tools.

I’m still validating the idea — would love thoughts, feedback, or brutal honesty. Is this something you’d use or want to see adopted more widely?
I just recently started heavily using TickTick, and my first thought on seeing this was that it would be cool to be able to integrate this into it. Very cool to see someone has done it, thank you!

If I might ask, how was your experience working with the TickTick API? I've been waffling on whether my frustration with some of the pain points I have with it (e.g. no way to hide recurring daily tasks that you've already completed today but aren't actionable for tomorrow from cluttering the "tomorrow" heading in every smart list) justify building my own dashboards for it.

With the Estimator I asked...

How long to build a Space Shuttle? "5 to 10 years"

Tearing down the governance systems of the United States of America and replacing them with a dictatorship? "Several months to several years"
On the one hand, it's true that these things are very important. I (as another diagnosed with ADHD) definitely do worst when I don't get proper nutrients.

But it's very, very important to remember and understand that these things don't make it go away.

I'm not saying you're suggesting that doing these things will make ADHD go away—but your comment is ambiguous as to whether that's where you're going with it, and there's definitely a lot of people who don't really believe that ADHD is a "real" disorder, many of whom give advice just like yours and end with something like "...and if you do all of this right, you'll be perfectly normal!"

So I want to both heartily endorse your recommendations (both the general "eat well," and these specific items), and also caution strongly against expecting miracle results.
What's the persistence layer?
Setting aside the obvious shock of the actual subject, I'm going to try the herculean task of bringing this back to being a HN-related topic...

My guess is that there is someone named Jeffrey Goldberg in the NatSec team (or high up, it seems like a common combination of first and last name at least), and likely that they meant to add him, rather than the EDITOR IN CHIEF of the Atlantic of all people. Could this be a UI/UX thing with Signal? (not differentiating between two Jeffrey Goldbergs on your contact list?).
Many modern compilers already do this - they generate intermediate code, and then a specialized binary is generated. Why couldn't an LLM generate intermediate code directly?
> This idyllic view certainly leaves out the part where she has to take a pick and scrape dirt and feces out of those goats hooves and trim them on a regular basis to prevent foot-rot

I think a big part of this is the same thing behind the impulse to rewrite a hoary old software system from scratch: Our tendency to underestimate reality's true level of detail.
Another idea I had to play a role in solving that issue (not that I’ve really thought too deeply about it yet) is, similar to how the free version of Hinge works, greatly limiting the amount of likes you can send in a day. Perhaps with greater limit for women since all data shows that men need to send many times more likes for much fewer matches. However, there is no paid tier where you get more like or anything like that, obviously. Because then it would be just like every other app.

Is it possible to root out everyone who “isn’t serious”? Definitely not, but I think there’s a lot more that can be done when you remove a profit motive.
You can’t look at the language in isolation. Visual Basic was backed by the fantastic Visual Studio for development. That ecosystem was way more mature than Java ever got with Swing et al. IMO, if there’s one thing MS ever did right, it was how they nailed WYSIWYG GUI app development. Now they’re going backwards with the WinUI XAML crap.
Rust and JS threads are on topic for the site, most current events stuff is not.

is killing the possibility of a long-running, evolving discourse on important topics.

These topics have been the most discussed topics on HN the last couple of months by a massive margin. The quality of 'discourse' has been abysmal so we know empirically the 'evolution' theory/hope is misplaced.
I mean what's stopping anyone right now? All the tools are there and readily available, it's just that most people don't really want to go to jail for a long time.
What is the advantage of having the policy checking be an async function? From a brief look (framework itself and one of the examples provided in the examples directory) it seems that you’d typically be doing all I/O operations up front before invoking the policy checker, and that doing the policy check does not itself involve any I/O.

I only looked over the code quickly so I’m probably overlooking something.

It would be neat to get the motivation for each of the functions that are async being async instead of just “normal” functions.
You may not have found ways to make AI work for you in your workflows, but millions of others have. It's not perfect, but it's useful to everyone I know that has made a meaningful attempt to experiment, discarding the bad, and integrating the good.

> the leftmost bloc eschews identity politics because they are first and foremost anti-capitalist and believe that identity politics are a wedge issue designed to distract from class struggle

This is a very narrow slice of urban leftists. When it comes to electioneering, the messaging is almost always about identity politics and anti-corporatism more than class-struggle politics.

> they largely do not participate in federal electoral politics

Then it isn’t a bloc. Non-voter non-donors are politically irrelevant.
> what with science informing us that human life begins at conception

No. Science can't say when life begins any more then it can say how much sand is needed to make a heap. Because it's a question of how we choose to define things, not a question of objective fact.

(And fyi... since what makes humans special is our rather absurd level of ability to think and learn things, human life begins with the ability to form long-term memories. Which is well past the end of infancy. This may seen counterintuitive, but there's a sound scientific basis for it.)
Unsigned comparisons using signed types
That's sound advice, but to give a comparison: Roman Polanski didn't just post divisive tweets, he drugged and raped a 13 year old girl and has been a fugitive from justice for more than 40 years now. Surely that's worse? And yet, people still keep funding his film making, and his name is on all the films. Why is a rapist given full credit for his creative works, while an idiot with a twitter account stripped of his credit?

I don't understand what your criticism is here exactly. Of course Eli Lilly will release a press release if the results of a clinical trial are good but that doesn't make the underlying research (published in the Lancet [1]) suspect in any way. Clinical trials are overseen by the FDA and frequently conducted by third party research scientists without a financial stake in the long term success of the intervention being studied. In this case, it appears that the study authors were researchers at Velocity Clinical Research and they found significant body weight loss with side effects comparable with other GLP-1 agonists. Skepticism might be warranted, particularly until phase 3 trials are conducted, but mindless cynicism hardly seems warranted.

For others not as familiar, this is pointing out DeepSeek-v3/DeepSeek-R1 are natively FP8 so selecting "Q8_0" aligns with not selecting quantization for that model (though you'll need ~1 TB of memory to use these model unquantized at full context). Importantly, this does not apply to the "DeepSeek" distills of other models, which retain natively being the same as the base model they distill.

I expect more and more worthwhile models to natively have <16 bit weights as time goes on but for the moment it's pretty much "8 bit DeepSeek and some research/testing models of various parameter width".
Having spent my youth on a dryland wheat farm in Montana, I would just say no.

Why does everyone who sits behind a computer long to be out in the fields or workshops?

My flip answer to that is that they haven't spent their youth on a farm, worrying about a hailstorm that wipes out the entire wheat crop for the year, or you lose 25% of your cattle herd to a recently diagnosed virus diarrhea. My grandparents were homesteaders who at some point in their life lived in houses with dirt floors.

The fact of life was that due to technology, the productivity of the American farm increased by almost two orders of magnitude during my Grandfather's lifetime. This meant that a tractor that my dad purchased when I was about 3 for the equivalent of 1500 bushels of wheat cost about 9000 by the time I went to college.

Thus, the economics of a family farm, or sole dude wanting to get away from the computer and grow something is painful.

A couple of kids that do an excellent job of building a homestead are the couple behind the youtube channel Ambition Strikes. They call at an off-grid homestead, but through their unbounded energy and creativity have created their own substantial mini-grid. I have a lot of respect for them and what they have done.

The article notes It is difficult to think of any field more forcibly disentangled from any sort of understanding of the impact of your labor than the majority of positions in tech. This is discussed in some detail in the book "Stiffed" by Susan Faludi. She discusses the community nature of the naval shipyards, in which everyone apparently was connected meaningfully to their work and the workers around them. She contrasts that with the workers in aerospace whose work is so abstract that it was hard for a professional working there to describe to their kids what exactly they do all day.
Back when I was in school and choosing what university course to apply for, I was torn between computer science and law, both of which interested me a lot. One of the several factors that swayed my decision was that if I did law as a career I could still practise programming in my spare time, whereas if I did programming as a career, I was highly unlikely to practise law in my spare time. So (for that and other reasons) I went into law and became a lawyer.

Now, every now and again, when I am stuck working late on a deal and all I want to do is go home and hack on my latest project, I wonder if I made the right choice. But ultimately I know I wouldn't be so excited to fire up an IDE if I relied on it for my livelihood.

As for farming, I grew up in a rural area so never had any illusions about it. I do admire the resourcefulness and ingenuity of many farmers, but I know it's not for me. Most of the retirees I know like to do "a spot of gardening" in their retirement, and honestly I think the kind of micro-scale "farming" a lot of office workers dream of is not that distinguishable from gardening, so many of them will probably get their wish eventually.
