I had this experience while watching the last season of Black Mirror. I asked GPT for an episode and the outline came out much more interesting than anything on this season [0].

I may be in the minority here, or at least am willing to admit my preference, but I really don't care where my media comes from. I don't believe I have some special relationship with artists. I want people to have jobs and live a fulfilled life, but I don't feel any loyalty to something like listening to music made by humans or basing my consumer decisions based off things like royalty reimbursement rates. If I like it, and there's an incentive for its creation, I'm fine by that. People are still free to create art. I write pretty regularly but I don't expect to be able to do that for a profession, and that's fine.

Yes, it’s rent-seeking behavior. And when you retire, sometimes you draw pension and do nothing for the rest of your life, you use your past service as an asset for future gains.
Any benchmark vs just using Claude-Sonnet-3.5/3.7 to see if there's actual a performance gain rather than just a well defined PRD/prompt/context?
The announcement from the Tor project could be more explicit that the security issue only affects Windows, and thus there is no need to issue any update on other platforms.

Mozilla did it right: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2025-1...
>I want a tool, not a slave. I don't want it to be "smart", but an extension of my body.

Yup, that is exactly what AI autocomplete is. AI does the boring parts, you do the thinking.

>I haven't liked the current ML field since the beginning (early 2010s in my case) for this reason.

That is your problem. You are stuck in 2010s. But the last couple years have had giant enormous leaps.
That's great that someone out there is solving this stuff, but it begs the question why we're watching Claude fumbling around and not seeing this service in action?
Because you'll be replaced by those engineers in N months/years when they can outperform you because they are wizards with the new tools.

It's like failing to adopt compiled code and sticking to punch cards. Or like refusing to use open source libraries and writing everything yourself. Or deciding that using the internet isn't useful.

Yes, developing as a craft is probably more fulfilling. But if you want it to be a career you have to adapt. Do the crafting on your own time. Employers won't pay you for it.
There's something so quaint and comforting in revisiting the world of peak post-modernist "sarcastic irony" that infused everything in this era. It was just so damned sure of itself.

Community tracking shows 2600+ miles between critical disengagements in California, where the mapping is probably the best (if we're going to make a fair comparison to Waymo). Most recent firmware shows 98% of trips have no disengagement at all in California, too. If you made the operating zones extremely tight like Waymo, I'm sure it'd do even better.

Your link states this:

> In the most ambiguous situations ...[it] requests [to humans] to optimize the driving path. [Humans] can influence the Waymo's path, whether indirectly through indicating lane closures, explicitly requesting the AV use a particular lane, or, in the most complex scenarios, explicitly proposing a path for the vehicle to consider.

It's literally a human drawing a line on the map telling the car where to go, in the most manual of ways. It's not an xbox steering wheel and driving remotely, but it's absolutely the same concept with a different interface, including a remote brake button.
There are a handful of decent e-reader apps on iOS right now, and unfortunately a few of the best, like KyBook, are dead and no longer being maintained. Of the available options now, the best two IMO are either Apple's own Books app or Yomu EBook Reader. ReadEra is also pretty good.
But it isn't true that "cows are valued by the amount of milk they produce" any more than "men are valued by the amount of code they produce." It's a false statement and a category error.

In fact, many cows are not used for milk at all. Some breeds make for great dairy; some breeds make for great beef; but few are great for both... Dexter cattle maybe.

(Nobody's out here clamoring for Black Angus cheese and absolutely nobody likes Jersey steak. While a Jersey cow or Holstein cow may be valued in part by the milk they produce, a Japanese Shorthorn or Belgian Blue cow is valued by the muscle tissue she produces and the genes that cause her offspring to produce similar muscle tissue.)

Your comparison is a category error. The trait "is valued for milk production" does not pertain to the superclass of "cows" but only to the subclass of "milchers."

"Coder" : code :: "milcher" : milk.
I'd say that knowing and interacting with a lot of active developers probably counts. As far as I can tell, he has those connections.

Roscosmos is dead to international commercial partners, but are still putting a great deal into space. Third place behind SpaceX and China.
This is exactly correct
Despite it being cherrypicked, it is a valid case. Hence it would seem you're knowingly disagreeing with a fact because it doesn't fit your purpose, which is disingenuous.
A cynical but imo largely correct take on this phenomenon: "People prefer A.I. art because people prefer bad art" https://maxread.substack.com/p/people-prefer-ai-art-because-...

(TL;DR - AI art is by design an attempt to reach the lowest common denominator, which makes it easy to digest, and a lot of people like stuff that's easy to digest.)
Chat isn't suboptimal. I'd argue it is optimal.

What the author is actually saying is that an LLM app doesn't have the context necessary to help you because the things you need it to know are in other apps, your email, your notes, your photos, your videos, etc. This I agree with. But this has nothing to do with the chat interface.

There are two long-term solutions:

1. Windows/macOS/iOS/Android/Linux directly integrate an LLM that can control and see all your apps and data and can use the computer on your behalf

2. An LLM becomes the OS. It's the only app you ever use. It's your email app. It's your note taking app. It's your photos app. It becomes the OS.
But less poor than not having a job.
There is another one where they had to recall retirees to restart Stinger Missile production.

The F1 is particularly interesting, because if we'd undergone a program in 1985, we probably could have restarted production, maybe even 1995 - but every decade another n% of the engineering knowhow sluffed off into the permanent dirt nap until there wasnt enough left.

Another recent example was when Jay Leno had a new heat exchanger made for his Chrysler Turbine car, and they were able to call some retirees in to help make a new one.
The majority of the people who watched the film probably knew very little about Turing or his work. And now they have a horribly skewed view.
Yes but they needed to unmount the storage media from the phones OS to be able to present it to the computers OS as a USB Storage device. That works great when the storage is only used for media files and those functions are disabled when you plug the device into a computer.

People often lament about the early days of smart phones where you could put in a microSD card to expand storage and even move apps to it. But nobody remembers the details of how janky it really was. AOSP and Googles own Nexus phones never supported apps on microSD, it was added by other manufacturers and was not perfect, often apps crashed when running from microSD or ran slowly.

I'm not defending MTP either, it's a mess too and hasn't gotten any real multiplatform improvements since back when it was first being used for MP3 players.
And less so now, but also speedometers. As I was growing up in Australia, there was a legislated margin of error of 10% for speedo inaccuracy. And I want to say some time in the late 90s, early aughts, that margin was changed to 3km/h across the board. I don't know how that interacted with speed camera tolerances.
Having used the agentic Github Copilot in VSCode Insiders, it is hard to understand why this is necessary given how well that functions.
This could be straight out of Systemantics, written about systems in general by a physician.

One of the observations goes something like:

Systems grow to perpetuate themselves, not provide the service for which they were created.
> The whole point of stories written by people is that a _person_ wrote it, based on their actual human thoughts and experiences.

I thought the whole point of stories was that they were entertaining or had some pertinent message. Truth doesn't have to come from someone's thoughts or experiences. Would you reject a math proof if it was generated by an AI?

I imagine at the time of the printing press, someone argued "The whole point of stories is that a person wrote it"
Here are some images of my Nixdorf 820. I also included some pictures of text where this particular Nixdorf was used.

An AI that refactors with no human interaction sounds like an absolutely terrible idea. I don't want to be anywhere near a codebase where that's enabled
>> "At the very least, this research doesn’t appear to be a reliable indicator of people’s willingness to pay for human-created art."

It's no secret that what does well commercially and what represents good craft doesn't always have much connection. I'm pro-GenAI and still prefer art made by a person. With the aid of AI is fine, but that connection through the choices they make in creating a thing matters to me.

Looking at the actual paper, the story might have biased the results. Would the results be the same if the story wasn't about a story written with the help of AI?

It should be noted the actual study focus is different from how it's framed by the article: "AI Bias for Creative Writing: Subjective Assessment Versus Willingness to Pay"

It seems like the focus was on commercial writing, not writing overall.

Not rent-free. 30% in the App Store. And 100% in the PWA they don't let me ask users to install.
It needs some fully commented programs as examples.

Show HN: Summarize articles and discussions from your HN and Reddit feeds
Hey HN - I spent the last couple of months building a browser extension to make scrolling Reddit & Hacker News a bit more convenient.

I made LiteRead.ai, a Chrome & Firefox extension that summarizes individual posts, articles, and discussions on Reddit, Hacker News, and even YouTube videos.

The idea came from wanting a faster way to skim articles, YT videos, posts, and comments. LiteRead adds a simple "Summarize" button that gives you the key takeaways in various formats: brief, detailed, & notes.

It's free to signup and try, and has a pay-to-go pricing model if you decide it's useful for you.

This is my first launch, and I'd love feedback on how it could be improved. Some things I'm considering next:

- Supporting more sites/platforms

- Adding more customization for summary style & length

- Supporting more browsers

Check it out here: https://literead.ai

Thanks for giving it a look. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
But even in that article, it mentions that H100 are not in high demand anymore but the H20 is. Same message as this article.

Deepseek killed a lot of AI labs looking to train their own model. Thus, H100 is not in high demand. But inferencing Deepseek is in high demand and the H20 is better for that task apparently.
On another note, this rang true to me:

> Basically knowledge packs should be specified in each npm package.json or similar.

Our YAML-based file format for assistants (https://docs.continue.dev/reference) is hoping to do just this by allowing you "import knowledge packs".

Does it need to be decoupled from package.json, etc.? One of the most interesting reasons we decided not to go that route was it can be cumbersome for all of your many dependencies to taken into account at once. Another is the question of how the ecosystem will evolve. I definitely think that each package author should take the time to encode the rules and best practices of using their library, however it might be difficult for community to help out if this is gated by getting in a pull request.

At the same time, one of the soon-to-be-released features we are working on is the ability to auto-generate or suggest rules (based on package.json, etc.).
This question should be at the top. I know HN tries to stay agnostic in their report of news but they definitely fall on the wrong side of feature vs benefit (as do most open sources authors ) and plenty of folks will just pass up this article completely ignorant of the benefit.
My hypothesis is that about 300 people whose identities were formed by participating in the Slashdot / LWN / etc. communities c. 2000-2005 are active HN participants in 2025. They saw the dream of Linux beating Windows fail—and worse, they saw Macintosh become the high-status alternative to Windows. They saw the Olde Internet of hand-coded web sites be swamped by the arrival of humanity using smart phones, and they hate it. They are like 60 year old sports fans upset about the rise of analytics, or '70s rock fans bemoaning hiphop, or Socrates berating scribblers for displacing orators. Evidence: the 400-point popularity of dozens of recent stories on Firefox minutia—Firefox does not matter, nor does Brave (note: I worked for Mozilla for four years). The many, many stories about reviving the pre-smartphone Web. Probably other topic clusters I am forgetting—Web standards?
One thing I haven't seen talked about is that given the many similar events, why is nobody clamoring to improve government systems so that they are actually used by the people who won't actually go to prison for not using them?
All the study objectively shows is people prefer stories they believe are written by humans.

You might find a similar effect with attractive authors vs ugly authors. If you show people the photos they probably prefer stories they believe are written by attractive authors.

If we call that bias in the second case, why not call it bias in the first case?
Strangely enough my experiences are mostly from smaller companies that are not public traded in Germany - so very different from a typical US public company, my bosses might had sociopathic traits but I doubt that it's true for all of them - it's more the complete disregard for the product quality and disregard for investing in your employees and the inability to solve more complicated issues that is pervasive through all these gigs. I'm talking about terrible UI and software bugs. Not some small debatable things.

Maybe it's really about wrong incentives and lack of technical excellence.

Government money keeps coming in and making it broken and buggy actually assures ongoing contracts. Investment in skilled workers or solving technical issues is not paid for and everyone - company and customer are completely disconnected from the end user and feedback mechanisms are broken or manipulated.

It's maybe a mix of all the different answers my post got.
> The most upvoted comments in all of them is how sideloading and interoperability are worse than death

Not even remotely true.

Top voted comment is complaining about not being able to run Linux on the iPad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40207322

Top voted comment is wishing the US would do the same as the EU: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40773883
How does one of these points relate to the other in any capacity?
True! I didn't even remember that detail. To respond to that comment nearly a decade later, I might object that swapping a zero copy zero allocations iterator for something that does O(N^2) element copies and allocates N new lists for zero practical benefit cannot be beautiful on principle, regardless of how pretty it looks on the surface.

Beauty is when practicality and perception pull in parallel towards purpose. Sacrificing one for the other can have a certain aesthetic quality, but I would not call it beautiful.
In the Haudenosaunee system of governance, whenever they needed to make a consequential decision, the family-clan-appointed leaders would nominate some sub-group of the circle to represent the interests of the unborn 7 generations in the future. That's far enough into the future, ~100+ years, that the youngest person alive today to experience decision would certainly be deceased before the generation is born.

On a long enough time scale, short-term oriented systems naturally-select themselves out of existence. The U.S. Constitution didn't survive 7 generations. The Civil War was in 1865 (77 years, ~4 generations). Reconstruction Era made it maybe 60 years (3 generations), as far as the Great Depression / Dust Bowl.

The current post-war ordering of the interest of short-term capital above all else doesn't have a well-defined start date, but 1968 (MLK Jr, RFK, nomination of Humphrey) is a solid one. We're hardly 3 generations in, and it doesn't feel great.

Really, when you look at American history, the periods endowed with bouts of long-term thinking are really quite rare (1770-1810, 1880s-1900s, 1930s-1950s). Maybe we're due for another one.
> That's true but we have to ask do humans actually create engaging, new ideas

This is a red herring, and entirely irrelevant

The question of whether or not humans or AI "do" create new ideas is not relevant

The question is whether or not humans or AI can create new ideas

Humans quite obviously can, because humans did. Even if you see the same common themes for 10000 years, at some point those themes were created by humans. We must be capable of creating new ideas, even if we don't actually do it very much.

AI may not even be capable of creating new ideas. It probably isn't in its current state, and may not ever be

Why say "four out of five dentists" instead of "80% of dentists"?
Congrats on the release! I've been using Cursor but somewhat annoyed with the regular IDE affordances not working quite right (absence of pylance), and would love to go back to VSCode.

I'd love it if you lean into pooled model usage, rather than it being an addon. IMO it is the biggest win for Cursor usage - a reasonable num of LLM calls per month, so I never have to do token math or fiddle with api keys. Of course, it is available as a feature already (I'm gonna try Continue) but the difference in response time b/w Cursor and Github copilot (who don't seem to care) is drastic.
I think this is an interesting pivot, but Cursor's project level rules and custom modes will probably quickly evolve to cover all the aspects listed on your hub. (Maybe it already does)

This also allows developers to switch between projects quickly while simultaneously also switching the setup for the AI agent.
Up 3% so far today.
Densified wood in the form of deck boards is somewhat commercially available now. I recall walking on them at a maritime museum on the east coast somewhere.(Chesapeake Bay?) Very nice compared to traditional dock planks which tend to warp and cause constant tripping hazards. They also do not become slippery when wet like plastic deck boards.

https://us.kebony.com/modified-wood-technology/the-process/

You can also get densified wood used to make spacer blocks in electrical transformers. This stuff is strong enough to make bolts out of.

https://www.roechling.com/us/industrial/products/composites/...

Someone was selling a densified wood teak substitute for use on boat decks, but I can't find them on google today. The top teak substitute search results all seem to be made of plastic now.
Oracle extends the problem to the opposite end of microservices, by encouraging monolith DB consolidation, with unrelated monolith applications on the same db cluster for purely budgetary reasons.
Lying implies intent to deceive. An LLM has no intent.
I am leaning toward agreeing with your statements, but this is not good etiquette for HN.
- That SHA is just a proof marker so if it turns out we are correct we can prove we had it at that time

- Bismuth did indeed find the bug, our bug scanning feature in particular. Obviously we're going to sit on our hands until the maintainer gives the all clear but we'll write something up after this is all squared away

- https://www.bismuth.sh is our tool, we're still relatively new
It reminds me of a genre of videos that would have you believe something is completely spontaneous and natural, but is actually entirely staged. The thing is only interesting under the assumption that it wasn't staged so they trick you into thinking it isn't.

Then someone in the comments inevitably says it is fake and everyone says of course it is. It's a skit, but it is still funny.

Knowing it is written by a computer and not by a human lowers the value of it regardless of how difficult it is to distinguish in my opinion. Thoughts and expressions by fellow humans gives something value and being written by a computer takes away a lot if not all of the purpose behind art.
One of the persistent challenges I run into in this area, is that any sort of up front filtering/routing requires you to know in advanced which logs are going to be important when an issue happens. Which is sort of impossible. And nobody wants to be the guy that filtered out some logs because they looked useless and then only later on realize they would have been instrumental in getting back up and running quickly.
There always been an issue here with files reporting to be one thing but being another.

Trusting the file extension is amateur to say the least.

‘Magic strings’ in the header of the file is the usual way, but even then, you can’t really trust it.

What we really need is some way to guarantee that the contents are in a valid format as defined by the header, and haven’t been tampered with and signed as such, and embeds that in the file itself. Then I can take the contents of the file after the header, hash it and compare it with the embedded sig.

Back porting this to standard formats though would be a nightmare.
That one has cosmic significance (so I understand); that island is what choked off big bang nucleosynthesis from continuing beyond helium. The universe would be unrecognizable if there were a stable He-5 or Li-5.

There is already a mechanism for this that the government doesn’t even have to be directly involved in - insurance. At some point you become prohibitively expensive to insure.

However, the government still has to do its part and actually enforce insurance requirements.

My pet hypothesis is that there is a tipping point where the feedback loop between driver safety, ai advancements, and insurance costs will doom manually driven cars faster than most people think.
Interesting. It really seems like wherever the power goes, the corruption follows. The good news with privatization is that it doesn't attract the corrupt looters to government and you can trust them as a culture to be a watchdog for corruption.

When the government as a body is in control of everything, all the corrupt looters go there, but you can't have the private industry keep them in check unless you count on the pipeline of years in industry gaining financial freedom -> public service as a regulator.
