I purposely spend a lot of time ensuring that an appliance (such as dishwasher, fridge, oven etc) has no connectivity before I purchase. Even if it misses out on some of the “better features”.

Surely when all appliances go down this route it will not last long, purely down to the amount of breaches that will inevitably occur. Not to mention the backlash.
> wear another portable digital distraction source on my wrist

Oh but why? Everyone around me had an apple watch, I was the odd one out. And I said to my self "no more!!!"

I bought a second-hand apple watch, I deleted all the garbage from it, I got a comfortable bracelet for it. Then I disabled Wifi/Bluetooth/Data. I got an Android phone, so connectivity is limited/shit anyway, but if you kill background processing, alerts, all transmissions, then the battery lasts forever!!!! (36hours tops). Now I am a cool moron like every other moron around me!

The only sound I kept is the 'chimes' (so if I am 'available') I drop and do 10 push-ups. That's the ONLY useful thing about this watch.
I read "bedrock" as 'necessary to all other security'. But arguing about word choice isn't useful; the question is what indolering actually meant.
After he left office in 2021, it was found that Trump kept boxes and boxes of top secret files at his residence, including in the bathroom among other places. Somehow this is not an issue for the GOP.
San Diego County was D+17 at the presidential level in 2024, not exactly right-leaning in national terms. It's slightly right of California (D+20) as a whole, I suppose.
It's interesting that the article notes an idealization of the yeoman farmer in the American urbanite's psyche.

I spend a fair amount of time reading Bret Devereaux's acoup.blog, and one thing I learned from there was the idealization of the small, independent farmer by Rome's literary elite (who themselves were wealthy urbanites).

History repeats itself, it would seem :)

Show HN: A recommendation system to explore the non-commercial web
Hey HN, thank you for being a part of the internet we love. We’re Arnav, Mo, Jeremy and we’re building an “Internet For-You page” that recommends blogs and essays based on your interests. Try it here [https://www.browserbuddy.com/]! Here’s a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1bdfJwV0c

We love to discover and learn from personal blogs, essays, and articles on the internet. But despite exciting advancements in language modeling, it’s felt harder to discover interesting links from real people.

We believe there is untapped potential to use these language models as “curators” rather than “creators”. To explore this, we’re building a recommendation system that curates content for you based on the links you visit from our site. You can also prompt it with things like “serendipity in art” or “I want to learn more about the intersection of painting and programming”.

Under the hood, we’ve trained a decoder model (llama) to understand how people recommend sites through hyperlinks and used it to embed ~40 million sites. These embeddings are served in a custom database we’re building to run fast on commodity hardware, work well with both vector and structured data, and serve more expressive representations of the sites (multi-vector, multimodal, etc).

We’ve had a blast using it internally, and early users have mentioned it reminds them of Stumbleupon.

We still have a long way to go and would love to hear your feedback! There are no sign-up barriers to get started.
> Probably the best strategy for the democrats is to let Trump make more mistakes until even his base questions his presidency.

Also known as "strategy of Paul von Hindenburg".
I like to think of it as a contest of one-upmanship.

Eventually the US did something the Soviets could not in the most difficult category of space exploration, which is manned spaceflight. If they'd gotten their manned lunar program done, they would have kept the Space Race going, and the US would have had to find another first. But they didn't.
> He had a further fall from grace in that the public didn't like his stated values on social media,

That's a pretty disingenuous take. Here are some examples of his social media:

"If you're against the concept of #HeterosexualPrideDay, you're a complete fucking cunt and deserve to be shot" [0]

He believed in PizzaGate[1][2].

He's tweeted in support of QAnon [3].

There's an easy way to avoid a fall from grace: Don't turn into a right-wing nutjob. Just stay out of politics and social commentary in general.

Any security risks running these Chinese LLMs on my local computer?
You're assuming this leads...somewhere. Currently, AI is not all that useful. And progress seems to be slowing, not accelerating.
I believe that is a picture the FBI took when they raided Mar-a-Lago and found the top secret documents that Trump took when he left office after his first term.
Not really; it was a gimmick. They used standard forecast post-processing techniques to bias correct global/regional weather models. There is virtually no evidence they actually used device data in this process.
It's not that hard. So if you want to ask questions or work with a Stephen King book, you have to rent it during your LLM session. OpenAi would make a small fee, the author would get the majority, and the user gets value. You don't have to be a billion-dollar company to set up a monetization structure like that. Startups could do this if they negotiate with authors.

For general questions, you can use the free wiki that's ingested into the LLM or pay a fee for general content like current events.

You keep the LLM free in the third-world out of necessity. OpenAI, in the first world, cannot ask to be treated as if it were a third-world company because we are too rich to be that ridiculous.
This model is available for MLX now, in various different sizes.

I ran https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct... using uv (so no need to install libraries first) and https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm like this:

uv run --with 'numpy<2' --with mlx-vlm \
python -m mlx_vlm.generate \
--model mlx-community/Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct-4bit \
--max-tokens 1000 \
--temperature 0.0 \
--prompt "Describe this image." \
--image Mpaboundrycdfw-1.png

That downloaded an ~18GB model and gave me a VERY impressive result, shown at the bottom here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/24/qwen25-vl-32b/
This is bad news for entire genres of books, TV shows and movies that are based on the supreme competence, sophistication and wealth of the Pentagon, NSA and CIA.

Turns out US military strategy is the same as me and my mates setting up a bar date.

It's a disturbing leak in itself but i take issue with the journalist obsessing over the tool of choice whilst ignoring the actual strategizing.

The casual way in which a mass murder is planned. The emphasis on "messaging" and how to spin this on Biden and Europe. The teenage-like emojis to celebrate acts of war.

This administration looks bad from the outside but through this leak we can see that their shocking press moments are still the polished and spun versions of a reality that is far more sick.
Or a requirement that the devices don't need the cloud. It's a dishwasher. Why does it need to be online, other than to provide data for advertising and training models? You can live without being notified your dishes are done.

Most people will charge at home [1] or at an employer parking lot, trivial to fully charge in ~4-5 hours at an EV charging station providing ~11kw (48A). Fast DC charging is primarily for long distance travel [2]. BYD is demonstrating ~250 miles of range charged in 5 minutes [3]. We are still somewhat early in an accelerating tech adoption curve, but we will get there shortly simply because of the force and momentum behind it. Batteries and power control technology are the future of light automotive.

The situation was way more complex than that - we were on borrowed time anyway, and this was our attempt to pivot away from a single on-prem private cloud group into the team overseeing both the enterprise pipeline and multi-cloud work. It would’ve freed us from busywork babysitting other teams’ own stuff while we were gradually chipped away via a war of attrition so we could actually build useful stuff to justify our long term existence and make us indispensable, a strategy that had buy-in at the time.

Ah well. At least seeing me get RIFed hopefully sent up signal flares with the rest of the team to GTFO while they can, and I had a lot of good accomplishments towards the end in particular. Take the good where I can find it, I suppose.

Congratuations on your big change, and on your courage. Security can help people, of course; it just depends on who you work for?
If the goal is to truly change societal worldview and not just rack up "winning" dunks on an acceptable target that doesn't matter.

Human beings don't tend to enjoy being insulted and ostracized. Telling someone to "put up with our abuse or you're one of the bad guys" is going to make you seem unhinged and unreasonable to anyone you are trying to win over. Saying "well, we bullied them into the arms of the opposition, so they've proved our point and we can retroactively justify all the hate we gave and will continue to give them" isn't a very strong argument to bring them over to your side either. People deal with perceived threats by banding together with others they feel have their back. The left gave up an appreciable chunk of the American voting base which is fine if they really don't want to pander to them, but complaining that a voting group is acting in their perceived best interests when their two options are between a group that's verbally and culturally hostile towards them and makes no indication that they aren't going to do anything but get MORE hostile towards them (just look at some of the vitriol posted in this thread) and a group that embraces them with open arms and puts on a reasonable facade is silly. What else do people really expect?
> On the commercial side, understanding how many aircraft landed in a city on a specific day can help predict economic trends

lol, as if you'd use satellite imagery for that and not just (freely) available data on airplane movement.

wow, there were a hundred small airplanes in Las Vegas, there must have been an event there, who knew. Everyone knew and it's easily available information.

That would only be relevant to commercial-based optical spectrum providers. Gov mils have SAR (Synthetic-aperture radar) capabilities that would render that moot.
Of course, if you have more satellites or faster imaging speeds you can use higher resolution images.
I feel Jeff should have bit the bullet and just returned it. I know it's a waste of time, but these products have to be rejected at retail. Retailers will eventually get tired of the extra support burden and demand manufacturers drop stuff like this.

I have weird or controversial reactions to most medications, especially psychiatric and drugs. I have no clue why. I have MS, I have brain lesions, they might play a part.

- For example nothing happened from 190 x 1 mg alprazolam + 0.5 L whiskey.

- None of the psychiatric medications worked for me (tried almost all there is, it took a long time). No pros, nor cons.

- Opiates do not cause euphoria, nor sedation for me. Without tolerance.

- The list goes on...

I have never figured out why medications affect me extremely differently from other people.

I took 5 x 50 mg DPH, nothing happened, then the next day I took it again, and I got anticholinergic toxicity. Perhaps it accumulated in this case, but yeah, it was one of the worst experiences I have had (delirium with dysphoric hallucinations, cognitive decline, memory issues). Took me months to recover. I have had auditory hallucinations for a couple of days, too.

What cholinergics and anticholinergics have you tried and what were your experiences?
Do people who wear an Apple Watch think they are cool? I think that is maybe in the eye of the beholder, but if it makes you feel like a cool idiot that’s nice, but I don’t know anyone who got an Apple watch because it’s cool. If you want to be cool you’d have a proper watch that every single other person doesn’t have…

For example I got mine because it has a sim in it which means I can leave my phone at home and walk my dogs and dictate voice memos or make calls while I am out.

But if it makes you feel cool that’s great!

This submission made me chuckle. My last dishwasher purchase was a Bosch based upon Consumer Reports endless praise for the brand. Bought specifically the model they recommended, a big motivator being their "predicted reliability". It was not an expensive model, but it was more expensive than alternatives.

Worst dishwasher I've ever owned. The control panel literally cracked in half in completely ordinary, if not even careful use. Everything about it seem designed to use the cheapest, smallest amount of material.

It was actually the motivator for cancelling my Consumer Reports subscription. It really made me wonder what their incentives really are.

Not sure what you are saying (or just ranting?) - MBP speaker are the opposite as in the rest of non-apple Laptops have way better sounding speakers? That is definetely not my experience at all.

If they are all rubish together, well, they are laptop speakers - and as such you have to treat them. Still there is nothing preventing some set of laptop speakers being objectively better than others.

I don't quite understand your point. It's not about bending spoons, but about the arrogance of certainty.

And why not be your own boss? It might take some work to get there, but I think the most important requirement for being your own boss is the drive and adaptability to overcome all the challenges.
It's not at all comparable. ADS-B is opt-in: you place an ADS-B out transmitter in your plane and turn it on to transmit your position [1]. You're perfectly free to turn your ADS-B off if you like. It's not even required for most of the US, so some planes may not have it installed (ADS-B out is only required within 30 nautical miles of a Class B airport [big airport], inside Class C airspace [medium-size airport], or in Class A airspace [18,000 ft above sea level]).

Military aircraft don't use ADS-B out a lot of the time. Spy planes are obviously not going to transmit their locations. A civilian plane with an electrical failure might stop transmitting ADS-B out. Being able to identify planes via satellite is a whole separate capability.

[1] In all the planes I've flown, ADS-B is configured to transmit whenever the master electrical switch is turned on, but it can be configured to be turned on and off at will. See this video on a mid-air collision involving an eccentric character who liked to fly with ADS-B out turned off: https://youtu.be/G5y3JiOEnVs?si=rs5gNMurZ9ssUloS. If I recall correctly, he had his ADS-B wired to his nav lights so he could turn it on and off at will.
picoruby is a lot of fun. It's a reimplementation of mruby/c which is even smaller. You might be interested in my friend and creator HASUMI Hitoshi's presentation. He shows off his Ruby REPL that runs on the Raspberry Pi pico.
Recently he ported picoruby to other microcontrollers.

While I'm sure the charge-at-home number isn't insignificant... I wonder what it really is.

In other words, the percentage of Californian cars that have their own garages/carports. (As opposed to street parking or a spot with no power.)

> after flooding had taken out the regional gas supply

I personally had the reverse recently: Places without power for 5 days, and long lines of stricken EVs at rare working charging stations.

Perhaps that's an argument for ensuring any home emergency generator one gets can charge an EV, not just keep the contents of a refrigerator safe.
I’m sure how they swarm digital content is well-understood (internal to these companies, at least). They’re interested in the why, though. Being able to make viral content on demand would be incredibly valuable.
Of course if you are really interested you can just buy a box of green-bar paper. It's still in mass-production. E.g. Staples carries it https://www.staples.com/Staples-Green-Bar-Computer-Paper-14-...

> Anyone professing to be a Christian should be in favor of those with plenty providing for those in need.

That isn't what you originally claimed and is not what I'm taking issue with. What you said was: "Anyone who takes that message and instead lobbies to destroy healthcare and welfare and to push hate and attack anyone who doesn't agree with them [...] is not a Christian regardless of how they spend their Sundays."

What you're saying is that anyone who does not support the welfare state as an apparatus is not a Christian, and I am contesting that, because there have been plenty of moral theories developed by Christians who opposed state welfare. Consider that the device you are using to post is likely worth more than the majority of the world's population earns in a year. Does it stand to reason that I could justifiably take it away from you and give it to someone who needed it more? What if we formed a committee you had no part in and voted on it being the right thing to do?

> Ignoring the theological debate on if "Jesus is God", Jesus' statements and commandments came later and supersede anything which came before.

Denying the divinity of Jesus undermines the entire belief system. It seems to me that you can't reconcile the treatment of Job with your reading of the New Testament, so you've decided to disregard the story entirely. There is some basis to this (e.g. the mixed fabrics issue you addressed in another comment), but it isn't as simple as saying "We can disregard everything prior to the New Testament."

> We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.

Young translates that line as authority, not "right." In the KJV (which is the version I originally read), it is translated as "power." That is, because the author has come to minister to the church, he has the authority to ask for bread without having to work for it, but he does not, because he does not want to burden those around him: "8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:"

The passage continues after this line: "10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. [...] 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread."
