A lot of bad actors control most Crypto platforms. Some of them are even justly rotting in jail (until Trump pardons them), and a hell of a lot more of them deserve to be in jail, while most AI users aren't actively committing crimes, laundering and embezzling money, dodging taxes, pumping and dumping rug pulls and pyramid schemes, and committing fraud.

It's been such a relief since the Crypto scammers finally shut the fuck up with their incessant ShitCoin and NFT shilling and get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, so please don't any of you start up again, for the love of God.

AI is NOT like Crypto in any way shape or form, and this is an AI discussion, not a Crypto discussion. And I'm sick and tired of hearing from Crypto shills yapping HODL and FUD while I'm actually getting productive work done and making real money while creating tangible value and delivering useful products with AI, without even having to continuously recruit greater fools and rip off senior citizens and naive suckers of their life savings by incessantly shilling and pumping and dumping and pulling rugs out from under people.
The steering wheel in the case of overpopulation is gentrification. Turns out folks with all their basic needs met have way fewer children than folks who are barely scraping out an existence.
That would go under the corrupted people make it into the job and do corrupted things because of the power that job wields.

Also, if you re-read that quote, it states "showing up to help". If they shoot you in the face they didn't show up to help did they?

They exist. Book rebinders are a thing. I recall my school's library had a fair number of rebound books. There's probably one around you.
Same question. One thing I really dislike in Bubblewrap is that I must share the whole net user namespace even if all I want to do is use UNIX domain sockets.

Since I only see net options specifying ports, does this handle this use case?
I agree.

Perhaps people with early symptoms are not given the vacine because it's too expensive and not mandatory?

Perhaps people with the vaccine are younger becase it's a recent vaccine?

Perhaps people that has no money for the vaccina had no money for therapies to slow the sympthoms?

We just did a census in Romania :)

And we have too much bureaucracy. This article is more about countries where they aren’t all covered by a bureaucrat. I doubt that’s China.

thr vaccine study is a pretty clear (partial) causal link. there is a jump discontinuity in all causes dementia cases based on week of birth, where the jump occurs at the NHS policy cutoff week (if you are older than this week you are ineligible fof the vaccine).

It's likely partial because vaccines only confer resistance against one subset of virii and there may be nonviral Alzheimer's too. in any case causality is not really in question in that study
Fun stuff. Reminds me of writing code to restore a state snapshot for a sound module with its own processor. It had four byte-wide shared I/O registers in a row. After restoring almost all memory, I put a two-byte infinite-loop branch instruction in the last two bytes and had the sound CPU jump to it, loaded a 1- or 2- byte instruction in the first two bytes, then modified the branch offset to execute this instruction as part of the loop, let it run a few times, then modified the offset to just be a single-instruction loop. I did this multiple times to execute each instruction needed to finish loading memory, restore all registers, and finally jump to the execution address with everything restored.
Note2reel.com – Automate Short-Form Video Creation
I think the accepted truth that dating apps like Hinge are terrible for finding long-term partners ignores the fact that most people are not really trying to use them to find a long-term partner. They might say they wanted to find a long-term partner, but that doesn't correspond to their use of the app. They aren't using them in any kind of dedicated or organized way. They just load them up when they're bored and waste a bit of time aimlessly swiping, messaging the odd match and going on the occasional date.

It's a bit like if I say I want to write a novel, but all I do is sporadically open up Google Docs and write for 30 minutes before losing inspiration and doing something else. If I never write a book, is that Google Docs fault, or mine? Despite their flaws, I think modern dating apps actually provide a pretty good toolset for finding a long-term partner. But like any tool, your results will depend mostly on your skill and dedication in putting it to use.

The clickbait headline should be replaced by one that somewhere mentions the word "brucellosis", because that's what he had. We aren't talking about exotica like meningococcemia, ehrlichiosis, or meloidosis here.
I'd love to see a sound system a la Jack or even Pulseaudio compared to Android's native sound system, though do recognize that at least for phones there are challenges, as of course you need to kill other sounds to accept an incoming phone call. Routing multiple outputs would be handy -- perhaps to keep some background music on while working played through a Bluetooth speaker, but then maintaining the ability to take phone calls either on the phone, or perhaps a Bluetooth headset without interrupting that music stream. Just because most people don't want more than one application outputting audio at the same time doesn't mean we shouldn't have it as an option. And I'm sure some would also find utility in handling multiple inputs as well, without relying on a discrete hardware mixer.
there are multiple IEE-754 fps. 32, 64, and 80 in use.

so your claim is that rust compiler knows in advance which will be used by the target and adjusts its softfloat accordingly?

I'm not convinced. IIRC there are cases for SIMD where there is only a 2 ULP guarantee and some tryhard silicon gives you 1 ULP for the same opcode.

Show HN: NPM-Audit-to-Report
Intelligence is so vaguely defined and has so many dimensions that it is practically impossible to assess. The only approximation we have is the benchmarks we currently use. It is no surprise that model creators optimize their models for the best results in these benchmarks. Benchmarks have helped us drastically improve models, taking them from a mere gimmick to "write my PhD thesis." Currently, there is no other way to determine which model is better or to identify areas that need improvement.

That is to say, focusing on scores is a good thing. If we want our models to improve further, we simply need better benchmarks.
But surely that relies on a bunch of “UWP” and Windows 8 APIs? The screenshots I managed to find make it look very much like it relies on the Metro UWP garbage.

That is not how dna evidence works in my understanding. They would know if you are a partial match or a complete match.
I loved and really miss the cell. It did take quite a bit of work to shuffle things in and out of the SPUs correctly (so yeah, it took much longer to write code and greater care), but it really churned through data.

We had a generic job mechanism with the same restrictions on all platforms. This usually meant if it ran at all on Cell it would run great on PC because the data would generally be cache friendly. But it was tough getting the PowerPC to perform.

I understand why the PS4 was basically a PC after that - because it's easier. But I wish there was still SPUs off the side to take advantage of. Happy to have it off die like GPUs are.
This is indeed why Richard Stallman states that proprietary software is immoral.

Given I like to make money, I have to tactically disagree.

But we all know it's true.

According to that website, WebGPU is not supported by default on Linux (see 5 in Notes). As for Edge, WebGPU itself is supported, but getContext is only supported on Windows OS, Mac OS and Chrome OS only (see 1 in Notes).

WebGPU support on Linux seems to be limited compared to Windows and Mac.

Two years back I had a month stretch in stomach pains. The worst I ever had. I had this on and off for 2-4 years. Happened once a year and was gone. I went to multiple doctors and did bloodtests etc. I then had a Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy. They want some scared tissue in my duodenum. Reason was some bacteria or fungi which they where then able to test for. Wich is funny because they did all kinds of bloodtests before … Long story short, I received a special antibiotic and everything was fine. My theory was that I eat something problematic while being in Egypt around 2018.
Show HN: Vanilla Cookbook – a deceptively simple recipe manager
Vanilla Cookbook is a self hosted recipe manager built with Svelte(kit). It is designed with complexity under the hood, keeping the user experience as uncluttered, simply vanilla as possible.

A brief feature list:

- Recipe Scraping - via script with optional OpenAI API backup, old school bookmarklet
- Smart unit conversion, volumetric ingredient matching (cups to grams via an ingredient lookup table), temperature parsing in instructions
- Complex ingredient parsing for quantity, units, ranges, fractions, extras
- Multiple language support
- User management
- Data control: Paprika format import/export
- Shopping list
- Cooking logs
- Docker deployment
- PWA
- Local storage: images + SQLite

Constructive feedback, GitHub issues/contributions/stars(!) are all very welcome.
IAAL. If you’re in the US, you may have noticed the explosion in plaintiff attorney advertising over the last 15 years. Do you want to sue: the other driver, Monsanto, the Boy Scouts, 3M, the Catholic Church, Aesbestos manufacturers, etc. Notice that you never see ads for suing for police misconduct? It’s because it’s such an anomaly that it would be a waste of money.

It’s one of those things that’s upsetting, so our brains exaggerate the actual relevance.
HPLIP: I believe they are, yes. I could just as well have configured it that way in the VM, I agree. About the Alpine VM: absolutely correct, and as stated in the article I would probably benefit from having a much slimmer VM. This was initially just a test case (and benefitting from the one-click install via UTMs gallery), but because it 'just worked' I decided to for now leave it as is.
There are still many environments which don’t support WebGPU. I recommend watching demo video if WebGPU is not supported in your environment.

Are you talking about .17 HMR? That round does have a very flat trajectory, but it’s illegal to hunt deer in some states because it isn’t lethal and won’t penetrate vital organs (just like .22 rimfire.) .17 HMR is primarily used for shooting small game where precision and minimal damage are preferred.
You READ what it did and REVIEW every change and ASK it to explain and LEARN from it so you can do it yourself too: the OPPOSITE of "vibe coding", whose goal is to avoid learning and reading and reviewing and understanding at all costs, to live a careless effortless TLDR life of self imposed ignorance.

There's a responsible enlightened self enriching way to use AI tools, and there's "vibe coding".

The comparison goes something like this:

Twitter "ruined journalism" by giving lazy media companies a way to "track big stories" (i.e. a few thousand people comment about N and that's News, apparently.)

Facebook "ruined journalism" by virtue of users not bothering to read the news at all.

Both are horrible.

But, facts, "Journalism" was ruined by corporate interests decades ago.
Why would history bother to record the people who claimed an event could never happen and were right?
If the Tensor security chip works on the Google side the same as Apple there is dedicated hardware specific to detecting the trigger phrases. No sound is processed at a software level until that security chip requests further processing at which point it shows the fake LED. The LED itself is added to the graphics layer in a way that cannot be hidden or obscured.

It is always a question of trust, but after more than a decade of phones they are pretty determined to earn trust. I have not seen any trustworthy reports of a secret always on microphone. Just the occasional recording made after a misheard trigger word or button which is an issue being further secured year by year.

Alltheplaces plays dangerously loose with (also) using resources clearly marked as copyrighted and protected with an API-key. As it is that project can serve as inspiration, but it is incompatible with OpenStreetMap.
The takeaway is that most people don’t think this way. A large portion of online recommendations for auth in Nextjs recommends middlewares for it. Knowing this, you’d expect a faster response time from the people maintaining the framework and stand to lose the most.
> If, on the other hand, you want to buy a brand-new typewriter, that too remains possible. Many thousands are still manufactured every year. Todd Althoff is president of Royal, a US company that has been making typewriters since 1904. "We're going to continue," he insists. "Obviously [there is] not that much growth but it's sustainable and we keep the factory busy."

> The factory is in Indonesia, he explains, and is run by a team from Nakajima, a typewriter manufacturing firm from Japan. Every year, Royal still sells around 20,000 new electric typewriters and more than double that amount of mechanical typewriters. The latter have become desirable partly as decoration – a librarian might buy one for a display at the front of their library, for instance, suggests Althoff. The mechanical and electric models Royal sells cost between $300 (£238) and $400 (£317).

These might be it:

I’ve only used a mechanical typewriter when I was a kid and you don’t really see those nowadays, but there is certain charm to them.

Much like how I’d like to some day own one of those IBM Model M pattern keyboards (most likely one of the modern versions made by Unicomp).
this is probably because the thinking tokens have the opportunity to store higher level/summarized contextual reasoning (lookup table based associations) in those token's KV caches. so an "Ok so" in position X may contain summarization vibes that are distinct from that in position Y.

> a 9% increase in exploratory intent queries

Users struggle to find the right stuff or stuff that‘s so good they don‘t need do do more queries.

> a 30% rise in maximum query length per user, and a 10% increase in average query length

Users need to execute more complex queries to find what they are looking for.

> People tend to hoard information. They are scared sharing it will make them look silly, or lose the power they think it provides.

People tend to hoard information because they are incentivized to hoard information: it has a real benefit for individuals in many companies, particularly in terms of job security.

> The solution is to make communication legible: write it down and work in public.

This is not the solution. Removing the influencing forces that incentivize knowledge hoarding is the solution.
> ... but I don't actually know what system in the past decade (or more) wouldn't have bash.

There's some ambiguity about "have bash". If "having" bash means that (some version of) bash has been ported to the system, there are indeed very few. If "having" means that bash (supporting all options that you need) is available to the user, that could be a lot more. As others have noted, the BSDs, Android and many embedded Linux systems don't come with bash pre-installed, MacOS pre-installed bash is stuck at version 3.2 (which doesn't have associative arrays), and the user could be in an environment that does not allow them to install whatever they need.
There’s a great deal of value in the “fullstack meta-frameworks” model of things. For one, using the same language on the backend and frontend is underrated feature.

But Next.js is not the only option on the market, so I partially echo your sentiment, not around React SPA vs React fullstack, but around Next.js vs a half dozen better alternatives for the React ecosystem.
The Mystery of the Oldest Writing System Remained Unsolved Until 1856
This just proves my point, individual states are nowhere near powerful enough to demand those sorts of changes.

If this was a federal law (and one that the government actually cared about enforcing), it would be a different matter entirely. Case in point, all the crypto services that make themselves unavailable to AMericans, even if they have no direct links to the traditional financial system, much less American banks.
Interesting. Do you feel like creating an MCP for a niche devtool would lead you to use it or explore it more? Or is the wariness such that you wouldn't want to?
I suspect the first big impact of vibe coding will be in the smaller, open source utilities arena. Then as the tools get better, they will be increasingly adopted by more mainstream software creators.

Why can't you?

Just run the biggest model you can find out of swap and wait a long time for it to finish.

You'll obviously see more focus on smaller models, because most people aren't willing to wait weeks for their slop, and also don't have server GPU clusters to run huge models.

> So you’re saying you can automate the coding part by… writing the code (in an inferior language)

Not OP, but yes. But that means you don't need a dev, just someone who knows how to spec correctly in English/Jira, right? Is that likely a dev who moved on to PM? Very likely in 2025.

For better or worse, the future I imagine is a Jira plugin or MCP server that can read a project, the LLM IDE client then asks questions to fill in the blanks... and out comes the app.

For many years this will require a human in the loop. But will that human need to know the intricacies of the latest frontend framework? Less and less as time goes on.
