More or less this, with some able to produce a few community nuggets, but it will take another vendor (and IBM tried at some point) to push Swift into actuality as a true cross platform language.

In another world, maybe instead of Java / Kotlin Google would have pivoted onto Swift as a language for mobile, closing the gap between the platforms a bit.

I don't think people are saying it's just the tariffs. It's the tariffs, it's the numerous threats to annex Canada, and it's the fact that the US has made it clear that if you're a non-citizen that you can be detained and held in prison for weeks with no due process before being deported. I think you'd have to be a bit nuts to visit the US now if you didn't have specific obligations or if you had other options.

That's basically the response to deepseek? Aside from a few people pearl clutching about "chinese propaganda" or whatever, most people praised its efficiency and performance on benchmarks. Credit where credit is due. Also note that China is an authoritarian regime where there's no separation between the state and private enterprise. Every company of non-negligible size has a CCP committee inside of it.

It's hard to argue that systemd isn't a part of modern Linux robustness! It's not the only way it could have been done, but the more declarative model is absolutely better than shell script exit codes. Daemons don't have to worry about double-fork. User-level services are incredibly valuable.

If the protest is ineffective then the protest is ineffective. I don't care how hard you tried, I care how effective you were. Pragmatically, if the protest doesn't change anything, it's not any better than sitting at home. If that protest leads to bigger protests that ultimately change something, then that matters.

Yes, everything has to start somewhere. But that doesn't mean every start is meaningful if it goes nowhere.
I forgot all about the solar roof thing.

In concept seems like a really interesting idea. I guess it never ended up working out.
> I just need to verify whichever part I need to use for something else. I can run the code it produces to see if it works. I can look up the reference to see if it exists. I can Google the particular fact to see if it's real. It's really very little effort. And the verification is orders of magnitude easier and faster than coming up with the information in the first place. Which is what makes LLM's so incredibly helpful.

Well put.

Especially this:

You can get it to generate tests (and easy ways for you to verify correctness).

Trump pardoned Trevor Milton today, who scammed investors out of millions doing things like his now infamous "rolling a truck down a hill to make it looks functional" demo.

Milton donated $1.8M to Trump, and Miltons lawyer's sister is Pam Bondi, the Attorney General.

This is nakedly corrupt and a strong signal that you can get away with all manner of financial fuckery if you are on Trumps "good list".
That would be amazing. I'm not sure how that would be possible though. Soda lime glass, our most commonly used glass, has a melting point that begins at 700C (~1300F) and doesn't become very workable until much higher temperatures than that! This is far too hot to be anywhere near most ordinary kinds of paper.

Other glasses have much higher melting points than that, with fused silica melting at 2200C!
Show HN: An Almost Free, Open Source TURN Server
Hi HN,

I have been messing around with WebRTC for a few years now but when it comes to the TURN server I never quite got to my gold standard of free, self-hosted and open source. I decided to give it a go using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's free tier, meaning that my total spend got down to domain name hosting. I know plenty of people have been burnt by Oracle in the past, but I have had servers running on the free tier for 5 years now without so much as a hiccup. Regardless, the concepts will be the same using any cloud based server.

This is the first time I've written up an end-to-end technical how-to like this and the audience I am writing for is really myself - I know just enough about networks and web dev and Linux, etc to get all this running and there are plenty of snippets out there on the web that tell you how to do one thing or another, but nowhere that puts it all together in one place so if I'm explaining what is obvious to you, my apologies - like I say, I'm writing to myself here.

I don't know that this even is a Show HN - @dang, if it isn't, please feel free to recategorise/edit the title.

@Everybody else, I am happy to answer questions if I can but please bear in mind that I am not claiming to be an expert on any of the tech gathered together to make this work.

I don't think the PSX has enough ram to allow large open world and near instant movement from one open world to another. Yes there were things like streaming in textures like Spyro did but if you watch footage of Zelda 64 in the big open worlds I just can't see it being done that way on the PSX. Even spyro had long load times between worlds. There was a lot of innovation on the PSX in terms of genres but little to no major open world games.

Every democratic country deserves the government they get.
This doesn’t seem like a branding related deal, it seems like wanting to further marry their operations for strategic reasons.
I don't believe it has to be said: It's not about product, it's about manipulating the balance sheet.
The auto tariffs are a present for Elon. Teslas are the most American of American cars, and while they do still use foreign parts they use the least out of everyone.

On top of that, in the EV category, Tesla is pretty much the only one made in the US.
I don't understand the relation with TSLA.
"This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress"

You get to pick winners AND be protected by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act from liability for anything said on the platform.

Stockholder privacy is protected by law; they could be Russian, Saudi, Chinese, North Korean crypto-currency hackers; CIA; friends of friends, mom and pop, whomever.

X algorithms and work practices are protected by trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, and binding arbitration.

Even superpower-nation security services are deeply dependent on the willing participation of the telecommunications industry. They would be blind to a unwilling provider, particularly one with their own worldwide network.

Don't blame Elon Musk. We built this system. "If you build it, they will come."

(Edit: I acknowledge the downvote and normally delete if/since judged not helpful. But I would appreciate it if the flaws were pointed out explicitly: a category mistake in ascribing personal responsibility for collective effects? assuming the worst, or fear-mongering? just hyperventilating? I honestly don't want to waste anyone's time. I thought pointing out that legal protections necessary for companies could be so abused would stimulate the policy-minded.)
> signal of support for voting

It sucks but in 2-party system one have only 2 choices.
None of this is really related to TSLA.
It should be noted that the other xAI shareholders are/were supportive of the X takeover and all. So although I personally don’t like Elon, this doesn’t seem like self dealing as many here claim. Solar City worked out well even though it too seemed like self dealing.

There are actually bad things to hate him for but acquisitions fraud is probably not on the table.
It's more the latter, particularly when Rust is used in libraries (eg. FastAPI) as opposed to tools, as it's destroying portability. For example I use flet[0] in some of my projects, and I have to be increasingly careful about the other dependencies as there is no support for the Rust toolchain within Dart/Flutter, and even if there was it still sounds like it'd be a nightmare to maintain. Same applies to any other platforms/apps out there that support running Python for flexibility, and handling another language is just way out of scope (and I'm pretty sure there are quite a few). A key part of Python's existence is as glue between disparate system parts, and rustification is reducing it's usefulness for an increasing number of niche cases where it once excelled.

xAI was seperated from X in what sense? xAI employees were X employees [1]. X reportedly had a stake in xAI, although The Verge says that hasn't materialized yet [0]. xAI's primary UI was X.

Okay, I know Tesla's extremely high P/E ratio is because it's worth is not just tied to cars, and so xAI priced at $20B more than Anthropic does not necessarily mean xAI's AI products are that much better than Anthropic's (e.g. presumably xAI's worth is tied to synergies with Tesla FSD, Optimus, and maybe even Neurolink)...but what products does xAI actually offer, other than Grok being an add-on for premium X subscriptions?

Not only does the Grok API not have access to Grok 3, which was released more than a month ago, it doesn't even have it's own SDK? [0]

> Some of Grok users might have migrated from other LLM providers. xAI API is designed to be compatible with both OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs, except certain capabilities not offered by respective SDK. If you can use either SDKs, we recommend using OpenAI SDK for better stability.

(every code example has a call for `from openai import OpenAI`)

How would using Grok be viable for any enterprise? And if Grok's API is designed to be drop-in replacement for OpenAI's, how are they not able to just use Grok to whip up their own SDK variant based on OpenAI's open-sourced SDK [1] and API spec?

Various ways in various companies, but in my last few companies pretty much always “CI runs tests and builds/uploads a Docker image, CD deploys it onto a K8s cluster somewhere.”

In the case of my major current personal project, I do it with a GitHub Actions workflow: https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline/blob/main/.github/workf...

A deploy looks like this: https://github.com/JonLatane/jonline/actions/runs/1346474905...

Here, I do a canary deploy to a dev server (jonline.io), then cut a GitHub release and deploy to production servers (bullcity.social, oakcity.social). (All really live on the same single-box dinky K8s cluster.)

I have little patience for worthless studies that serve no purpose beyond a means of coping with time and effort sunk into a worthless humanities degree.
Who also talks like Sam Altman that the human race will need to all be on welfare (Universal Basic Income) because of AI.

I don't understand it all ...cut people's jobs who make multitudes of billions less (cut 25k probationary employees like ripping off a band-aid), want people to work like the Chinese do (day and night) so we are the leader in AI (?) and after AI starts replacing jobs we all need to be on a welfare system. Isn't a welfare system the biggest waste to the Republican party (independent here)?

Does he even know his end game with all this or he's just having fun be the most powerful person?
If you've never heard of Ditto before, they're one of the leaders in cross platform small-scale mesh networking.

Agreed. I’ll take a fictional overseer vs an actual one any day of the week.
How is that legal? Could he also decide to sell a Bic pen he personally owns to XAI for 100 billion dollars? What's the line? Do you need to be able to convince a judge you truly believe it's worth that?
If you view Trump as your enemy, understanding him matters if you intend to fight him.

To be clear, I'm not saying Trump is a Russian asset. I was just changing the perspective because I think it's interesting all the things he's doing make perfect sense for helping Russia. In which case he'd be effective instead of incompetent.
Musk threw in xAI ownership to sell those bonds, which themselves have an 11% rate. Musk basically backstopped the bonds by giving a heads up of this.

No, that was absolute fantasy numbers, and in no universe did it verify any value of Twitter.

Musk really, really knows how to play people. He deserves that credit.

And I mean, bond discounts or not have nothing to do with the value of a company. The discount on a bond is based upon the likelihood they'll ever be paid off, and after it was clear that Musk would save the failure of X by using one of his other companies and AI hype to do so (as others have said, just like SolarCity), the bond lost its discount. X's value could be $1, but if the bonds are going to be repaid they'll sell at no discount.
To add to this: the most recent "96.2% literacy" estimate is based on a 2017 survey (not the 2011 census) where they interviewed a little over 2500 households in Kerala, though there are 7.7 million households there. I'm not a statistician, but this feels like too small of a sample size to make a definitive estimation.

In addition, other states got very close to that literacy rate, but are probably managed quite differently to Kerala. Worth considering if people want to try to replicate Kerala's efforts without considering the wider context

> I believe Han excels in the latter and is bringing more and more thinkers from different fields to think about the fundamental problems of society, people with technical and scientific backgrounds that would otherwise not join the debate and help design a better society.

He had one hit book fifteen years ago and now exists primarily as a meme. One doesn’t really see people deeply engaging with his arguments; they tend to agree that whatever the object of the new book is “a problem” and fill in the details with their own ideology.

Or maybe I’m wrong! I’d be interested in a link to someone actually taking him seriously, whether within or without philosophy.

It would be nice to have some cash flow positive investment income. The mortgage payment is low compared to the rent it would bring in.

I'll probably end up selling it. Then it will get torn down and replaced with 4-6 units at US $800k+ each. It's hard to walk away from $4.8 million in development potential. I would be lucky to clear $900k selling it.

That's a sad commentary on today's DJs then.

Not really, you just have a lot more information and tools at your disposal. It's going to be a better performance. In no other area of endeavor is anyone expected to limit themselves to decades-old technology, that would just be madness.

but that does not diminish the vinyl as a controller being superior to a tiny plastic spin wheel on a digital controller.

How is it superior? We've just covered so many ways it's inferior. I have a number of friends that are really into vinyl, I've never really "gotten" it, there's no argument other than this kind of nostalgic fetish (which I'm not saying is for nothing, but I usually just want to use whatever technology I can to create the best experience for the listener).

On the latest TSLA event, Elon said Dojo was 5% of their training compute (the rest being nvidia). Although he hoped future dojo versions would improve.
It's this maybe merely a financial move that makes sense in the world of ultra-rich people and banks?

I read somewhere that he used his tesla assets as a security to get a loan to buy X and this provides some buffer or sticks it to someone else in case tesla goes down?

> When you are a too large a corporate, you basically have no oversight over how much you can optimize in exchange for ill social effects

It's actually easier to have meaningful oversight over a single larger firm than a bunch of local stores. The thing is that what people often refer to as "ill social effects" of large businesses are not proven to any meaningful extent. At least the gain in efficiency is quite real and can be readily ascertained.
They’re really not. Instability is bad for growth. You make more money with hands in a thousand pots not one hand in a big one.
