My guess (judging from similar historical events) would be that it's a combination of:

* New administration means people (including border guards) are now feeling emboldened to act in a certain way. This means people that already had that leaning, will be unabashed in their action, and middle-manager level will be less strict on stopping these behavior since it might backfire on them.

* Now suddenly the topic is interesting to the vast cohort of the population. Which means that in the media boardroom, where they decide what to cover, put out, etc, they take that in to account and report & investigate more of it. Sometimes, things that was already endemic but unnoticed get a huge bump in coverage and create a perception that it's top-down, while in reality there have always been the issue, but now it's more blatant.

Days after the Brexit vote, people went out of their way to vandalize non British business establishment. One Polish boutique was trashed and people now felt it was "ok" to leave graffiti in the form of "get out you're not welcome here". Those sentiment was always there and if you go to any immigrant community in any country and ask locals they usually have stories about it, but with the brexit vote many felt that was justified and did it in excess, which lead to media coverage. Did leave campaign say any of that, or instructed people to do anything similar? No. But part of the follower of that campaign already had the leaning to it, and it wasn't until the comparison to Kristallnacht started to pop up until the parties took a firm stance to it.

Probably same thing happening here. So the thing to watch out for is probably what would be the official reaction to it. a silent nod might just mean this is the new norm.

I don't think your analogy works for the tailwind situation, and there is no whole idea to give up on anyway. People will still be researching this hyper-complicated matrix multiplication thing, i.e. LLM, for a very long time.

Personally, the tailwind example is an argument against one specific use case: LLM-assisted/driven coding, which I also believe is the best shot of LLM being actually productive in a non-academic setting.

If I have a super-nice RL-ed (or even RLHF-ed) coding model & weights that's working for me (in whatever sense the word "working" means), and changing some function names will actually f* it up badly, then it is very not good. I hope I will never ever have to work with "programmer" that is super-reluctant to reorganize the code just to protect their pet LLM.

Show HN: I built an app to help me stop quitting on runs by rewarding me plants
I am a long-distance runner and wanted to keep myself motivated throughout the training, so I thought of building an app that rewards me with plants and trees in my virtual garden.

> For example, in Judaism, the prohibition of pork consumption [1] is completely unrelated to health risks. Alternatively, are Christians immune to Brucellosis?

Possibly at much lower risk. It appears that this particular dangerous form of brucellosis is not even distributed across regions and this case seems to related to feral rather than farmed pork.

The Greeks in the eastern Mediterranean at the time did eat pork, presumably without a high disease risk, so I would guess the risk was lower in the populations and places from which non-Jewish early Christians came.

If you did it well, and of course are willing to lie when asked if you'd done such a thing (major red flag for the CBP flunkies) you'd probably be okay, but with an obvious caveat: entering the country with a phone and other electronics normally stuffed with personal information but in your case curiously empty would probably cause you to get flagged for special attention much more than if your device content looked normally cluttered.

Wow why would they give GrapheneOS such a marketing boost?

It was never safe to travel to the US with your phone since the Patriot Act was in action, since they made it possible to search all your electronics and decide to refuse you entry for any reason.

It's safer to come with a phone that's completely empty of private information, and re-image it remotely once reaching your destination.

BEVs are better than combustion: The 2025 BMW i4 xDrive40 review
No, but while the situation in the US is (relative to our own history and the Constitution) very bad, in this particular instance there is nothing particularly special. It's equally "unsafe" to travel to any country on the planet "with your phone" where that means "your phone as you would go about your day-to-day life with". In many cases far more so since you could face far worse then deportation, but if nothing else every country gets to keep non-citizens out at will and even citizens can still potentially have stuff confiscated for long periods with irksome requirements to get it back, even if they themselves cannot be barred from return under any circumstances.

Of course, traveling is also a higher risk time anyway in terms of having your phone stolen or lost. So it's definitely not a bad idea regardless to consider workarounds. Used phones drop in value very fast for example while still being extremely powerful and useful given how the pace of improvements in smartphones has leveled off heavily in the last 5 years. Like an iPhone 12 or 13 Pro are still fully supported, likely will be for another 2-4 years, and still solid devices. Both can be readily found at this point for $250-400, something like 1/3 the price of a current gen. Depreciation in price is very fast vs depreciation in relative performance or features. So simply flat out having a phone for travel and not putting anything on it sensitive is an option, and then if something happens it can be abandoned with less concern.

Alternatively in some cases one could erase their main phone, set it up for travel, and then restore via VPN after crossing borders. This is more trouble then ideally it should be, and depends on either having a high bandwidth connection at your destination or some other workaround (mailing yourself a hard drive for example), but can let you stick to one main device.

But I'm glad it's getting more attention even from those who typically haven't thought about it. I hope it spurs demand for better technology answers as well. The more convenient privacy and security are the more adoption and the better for all of us.

Did you consider Pkl instead of Yaml to write your GitHub actions?

You're right, this may be overkill. OTOH, casting between integer types in C can (unfortunately) feel like clicking away confirmation dialog boxes -- something too readily done without full understanding ("Oh, it's always just 1 or 0, of course it will fit in the target type [so no need to think further]").

While it's annoying boilerplate for the Foo component to have to write, I don't think clients of Foo see much additional complexity. They can still write "return FOO_SUCCESS;", etc.
You don't need a dumb phone, the only important thing regarldess if it is a dumb or smartphone is it has to have been reset, without any google/apple/social account. You may just put the number of your parents and significant other if you are fairly sure they are not partaking in any activity (even associative) related to human rights, journalism, environmentalism, science, aren't working for a company that is currently in trial or whose headquarters are in a country with sanctions or tariffs and/or aren't public persons. But you should really know the number of your close relatives from memory anyway, it isn't that hard.

You can access some data remotely afterwards but I wouldn't restore it and make sure it doesn't stay cached on my devices. Better to connect to a remote desktop with credentials you know from memory. What you could do is find some recommendations for a good lawyer in the area you plan to go beforehands and have his number stored somewhere.
I can kinda see it doing 90% of the code by volume, but it would be the easy 90%. And the remaining 10% will need to be done by someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

Well there’s your problem: no one can make money off of it, unless they develop a new delivery mechanism, etc.

Patents encourage developing new medicines, but not developing new knowledge about (never mind use of) old medicine.

The solution (in the US) is obvious: federal funding of research that stands to help lots of people but not make lots of money. Since most of these patients (in the US) are going to be on Medicare, there could be huge potential cost savings to the taxpayer: memory care is EXPENSIVE, so even the paltry amount covered by Medicare racks up (and the opportunity costs of people paying for private memory care is enormous).

But instead of increasing funding for this kind of life- AND MONEY-saving research, this administration is freezing and slashing research funding, and specifically targeting Columbia for political/Trump’s-petty-grudge reasons.
Thank you, Warren.
HSV1 is estimated to affect more than 80% of the population, but less than 80% have dementia. This seems to imply there are other factors at play. Maybe it requires other factors like genetics or immune issues for it to progress.
Why ask? An example was pointed out in this thread you started:

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/what-you-think-about-i...

There are probably more spiders configured to do this.

> (BTW, just marking something as copyrighted does not make it copyrighted)

For OpenStreetMap, it means that at the very least the Licensing Working Group should have a look. When you combine a copyright claim with directly using a third-party API with an API-key without clearance from the owner, doubly so. This was already pointed out to you in that thread.

Currently, only spiders which directly use the websites and domains of the shop chain (or its owner) are cleared for use.

Take heed of what Andy Townsend from OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group wrote:

> OSM has traditionally avoided situations where it could be legally challenged by people with more money to pay lawyers than we have, even if, in a fair and balanced process OSM might actually be in the right; for the simple reason being that any legal cost could far outweigh other costs of runnng the project.

I don't believe anyone will actually use AI this way long-term

Besides which, this doesn't actually sound faster than just writing the code yourself
That is different things though -- you can replace functions with AI tech without needing AI to write all the code and that is happening in a big way right now -- Krishna was talking about reducing customer facing roles by around 30% over 5 years in that earlier statement

As of right now the code assistants mostly just make existing coders more productive -- predicting 20 or 30% of new code in near term will be generated is not unreasonable -- 90% is a stretch as has been discussed here many times

You're right about "living in the “overselling all up in your ears” epoch", but a good first defense against "being sold pffts as badabooms" is to blanket distrust all the marketing copy and whatever the salespeople say, and rely on your own understanding or experience. You may lose out on becoming an early adopter of some good things, but you'll also be spared wasting money on most garbage.

With that in mind, I still don't get the dismissal. LLMs are broadly accessible - ever since the first ChatGPT, anyone could easily get access to a SOTA LLM and evaluate it for free; even the limited number of requests on free tiers were then, and now are, sufficient to throw your own personal and professional problems at models and see how they do. Everyone can see for themselves this is not hot air - this is an unexpected technological breakthrough that's already overturning way people approach work, research and living, and it's not slowing down.

I'd say: ignore what the companies are selling you - especially those who are just building products on top of LLMs and promising pie in the sky. At this point in time, they aren't doing anything you couldn't do for yourself with ChatGPT or Claude access[0]. We are also beginning to map out the possibilities - two years since the field exploded is very little time. So in short, anything a business does, you could hack yourself - and any speculative idea for AI applications you can imagine, there's likely some research team working on it too. The field is moving both absurdly fast and absurdly slow[1]. So your own personal experience over applying LLMs to your own problems, and watching people around you do the same, is really all you need to tell whether LLMs are hot air or not.

My own perspective from doing that: it's not hot air. The layer of hype is thin, and in some areas the hype is downplaying the impact.

--

[0] - Yes, obviously a bunch of full-time professionals are doing much more work than you or me over couple evenings of playing with ChatGPT. But they're building a marketable product, and 99% of work that goes into that is something you do not need to do, if you just want to replicate the core functionality for yourself.

[1] - I mean, Anthropic just published a report on how exposing "thinking" capability to the model in form of a tool call leads to improvement of performance. On the one hand, kudos to them for testing this properly and publishing. On the other hand, that this was something to do was stupidly obvious ever since 1) OpenAI introduced function calling and 2) people figured out "Let's think step by step" improves model performance - which was back in 2022[2]. It's as clear example as ever that both hype and productization lag behind what anyone paying attention can do themselves at home.
