Honey was replacing their affliate links with it's own. So these tech tubers were only really upset that Honey was stealing from /them/, they don't give a fuck about their viewers.

Anyone who flogs ball shavers, ass wipes or fuckin microwave dinners don't give a shit about their viewers, and only care about their bottom lines and will shill whatever they can for the right price.
No - all the projects I'm working on at the moment benefit from high code quality and maintainability. Either I'm being paid for them and want to deliver a good product, or if I'm giving them away I want them to be useful to other people long term and not a black mark on my github.

However, I've tried it a few times after getting stuck on a bug or approach to implementing a new feature. In all cases it was much faster than me at completely failing to solve the problem. (models: QWQ, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 3.7) For now I still find LLMs more useful as a sub-line autocomplete.

One vibe-y thing I have found to be handy is translating between languages. I had a project that needed some functions moved from Python to C and JS and Sonnet did a pretty good job of that. They only needed a few manual tweaks to iron out floating point issues.
I just don't think a word predictor is the future of AI.

It seems like a sloppy way to simulate intelligence.
Perfect! Thank you! I’ll check the GitHub in a while.
Correct, this is for specific user/group.

Restricting use to "specific application for any user" sounds pretty dodgy, security-wise. Linux makes no guarantees that processes are protected from executing user, so it is entirely possible your process has the right name, but runs different code. LD_PRELOAD and ptrace immediately come to mind, but I am sure there are other methods too.

That's why Android makes a unique UID per app - this turns insecure "restrict by process name" problem into well-supported "restrict by UID/GID".

(And if there no need for security boundary, and you only want convenience check to avoid non-malicious mistakes? Then just hardcode magic string in your app and check it as a part of protocol.)
I agree on the "knowledge stability" front. I feel like I have to relearn Linux server networking config every three years because I switched distro or a distro switched their network management middleware.

But.

Having tried to move a machine from rhel 5 to rhel 7, where 12 people had used the server over the past 8 years for any scripting/log analysis/automation, for hosting a bespoke python web request site and a team-specific dokuwiki... The idea of having all that in source control and CICD is alluring.
In which world do you get 614GiB/s memory bandwidth with an Epyc?

I think the best you can dream of is 480.0 GB/s, so 447 GiB/s.
There are already other teams using these bats, and it seems like they will spread pretty quickly: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6243085/2025/03/31/mlb-torp...

I don't know why anyone would be upset about this, but baseball fans tend to be curmudgeons.
Kagi seems like a cool company - I'm not a customer yet. I'd like there to be technology companies I can trust - perhaps like Kagi.

I have been really happy with NextDNS though. My kids, not so much. But hey ... that's parenting.
If you find yourself in Louisville, Kentucky, you can see how they make bats at the factory. At least 20 years ago, it was already pretty automated. They put the blanks on a copy lathe and turn out bats from a template.

Sanding and finishing are subsequent steps.
You can get exactly the same "benefits" without the side effects by simply making signed overflow unspecified rather than undefined. There are better alternatives of course, but this is the one that has essentially no tradeoffs.

I don't consider destroying code semantics if you hit it a good thing, especially when there's no reliable and automatic way to observe it.
Backing the local team always makes the most sense. In NYC you can choose Mets or Yankees (though where you live in the city affects even that). Choosing a team from some other city means you see your team play much less often and only after much effort. Worse there are less people to talk about the game as nobody has seen your team play and you didn't see their team plan. (except when your team plans the local team)

Even if it is mold, just remove it off the surface. It doesn't penetrate far on hard cheeses like Gouda.

Also the reason why I don't buy pre-grated cheese, it doesn't age well. It also tends to be lower quality to begin with.

Maybe I'm weird, but hobbies just feel like work anyways, except maybe reading. Learning Japanese just doesn't have the same feedback loop as grinding Dota or something... Alas, how would I tackle this issue with a kid? Maybe just throw a bunch of activities at him and see what sticks as a hobby?
When coupled with smaller parameters sizes, it enables BYOD, different cost scaling, and local inference.
But why target a market that doesn't want you? Do you really think a burger place can some how override a person's morals to not eat meet? I realize were stretching the analogy here, but what is the point? Maybe if you already saturated the existing market and trying to grow. But then why saddle that market with the wants/needs of the polar opposite?
Why even claim last click attribution while the user is literally on the site?
Is "fake" really the right word here if people get the flavor, nutrition, and texture they want? I don't really give a damn if they figured out a way to bypass aging to achieve this.
Given that they come in good faith (trolling is already excepted), I would ask. Burger toppings are predominately plant-based, so perfectly in their wheelhouse. In fact, I'd expect better suggestions from them than the average burger eater.
To be honest? The majority of discount culture is a disgusting trap where retailers inflate default MSRPs and manipulate price histories so they can put big percent signs on the products to bring them down to normal and FOMO/gouge anyone with time constraints.

T-shirts and vacuums aren't perishable. Make everything cheaper all the time, adjust the cost to reflect actual supply/demand, and stop the wiggling banners and big signs and calculations every time I want to buy anything.

It's like an app for finding out the minimum you have to tip for a waitress to be able to survive. Maybe that's not the solution.

But I'm also just a grouch these days...
My favorite thread here. In essence making the case for baseball in that you don’t have to pay attention and it’s even better when you can’t see it, only hear about it. But it’s all true. Having a game on the radio outside with a group of friends having a good time not really paying it too much mind and then everyone alert during a moment of built up tension and release is what summers are all about.
I don't believe OpenAI provides on-premise serving.

Can you say more about the impact of private ownership? I don’t watch sports at all, so this is news to me — what are the negative effects? Is it just you get teams with massive funding and others with none?

> Just assume a technocracy on Mars. Doesn't have to be the US constitution or anything that guides them.

Why would assuming anything about the government make the planet more habitable?

And even if it did, why not a technocracy on the Moon, or on an O'Neill cylinder?
Ask HN: What's the best way to get started with LLM-assisted programing?
Currently, I use Perplexity or ChatGPT via the web prompt for small coding tasks, but sometimes I'll use Ollama. Stuff like writing a shell script perform some task, or maybe a small Python function. I'd like to get to the next level, but I don't know where to start.

What are some good places to get started? What are the tools you use to get work done?

Some background: I mainly do data engineering using Python and Snowflake + MySQL. I use Pycharm as my dev environment, but I'd be open to changing that if there's a better option.
In case you weren't dissuaded by the article, here's the synthesis procedure that it starts off by referencing: https://sci-hub.st/https://doi.org/10.1016/S0022-1139(00)803...
> his business MO is heavily reliant on government contracts and special treatment

He sells rockets to the government at 10% of what it would cost the government to buy them elsewhere. It's clearly Musk helping the government. Besides, Musk did not get subsidies for SpaceX nor special treatment.

> Are you claiming that subsidies don't get factored into a business plan?

No, I claimed that Musk had no control over the EV subsidy, which was given to buyers of electric cars from any company.

> acknowledge his success is tightly coupled to governmental help

Making a better, cheaper rocket is helping the government save tens of billions of dollars.

> contradictory to free-market ideals

The government keeps taking our economy farther and farther from the free market. Government taxes, subsidizes, and regulates. It isn't really possible to run a free market business in the US.

I know it's cool these days to dump on Musk and denigrate his achievements with "you didn't build that" (as if anyone else could have done it), but history will show him to be the greatest entrepreneuer the world has ever seen.

The government has subsidized other companies. None of them succeeded like Musk did. Not remotely. The idea that the government created Musk is just nonsense.
Are you expecting a company to manage it completely without human intervention, yourself without verifying the results?

If so, you then got to expect what Kagi decides what is bad and what is good and accept that's it.

It could be bias it could be not. I like to think they know but I personally would never put all my eggs in one basket.
They live each life separately, though, with no memories of their other lives. Joe from Idaho isn't suffering in the moment because of the experiences of some poor sap halfway across the world, even if they're both part of a greater continuum. The character will only regain memory of all the events when they "hatch" & become a god, at which point (being divinely capable of remembering billions of lifetimes) they will presumably have the mental fortitude to deal with that trauma.
And I'm saying that's a somewhat ridiculous premise, because a simple systemd configuration will "just work" 99% of the time. That complexity is not something the generic case needs to care about.
Nil dereferencing in those languages doesn’t make them unsafe. It throws an exception or panics. And Java has some none-nil annotation, IIRC.

Still, none of this is relevant to existing software written in C. This is not about a rewrite.

And if it were, rust doesn’t offer perfect safety, as many tasks almost demand unsafe code. Whereas that doesn’t happen in Go, Scala, etc. Every situation requires its own approach.

Dumber question: would a galaxy that appears to spin clockwise appear to spin counter-clockwise when viewed from the other side? Does this imply that the real question is why galaxies' relative orientations seem to favor more spinning in one direction than the other?
I'm on a road trip across Utah and Colorado right now and I've been experimenting with both Gemini and OpenAI Deep Research for this kind of thing with surprisingly decent results. Here's one transcript from this morning: https://chatgpt.com/share/67e9f968-4e88-8006-b672-13381d5e95...
I've been building workflows with "AI" capability inserted where appropriate since 2016. Mostly customer service chatbots.

99.9% of real world enterprise AI use cases today are for workflows not agents.

However, "agents" are being pushed because the industry needs a next big thing to keep the investment funding flowing in.

The problem is that even the best reasoning models available today don't have the actual reasoning and planning capability needed to build truly autonomous agents. They might in a year. Or they might not.
Totally agree with author here. Also, reliability is pretty hard to achieve when the underlying models are all mountains of probability that no one yet understands how they do what they exactly do and how to precisely fix a problem without affecting other parts.

I don't know the legal details here but I think you can do whatever you want as long as you're not violating any patents (good luck). Also, Intel claims a copyright on the mnemonics for 8080 and 8086 assembly language. Microcode is also protected by copyright.
>Are you expecting a company to manage it completely without human intervention, yourself without verifying the results?

What?

Parent commenter asked if it was guaranteed to block the bad stuff. I answered no. That's the entire conversation summarized.

Then you came in, said I was wrong, and then answered the question with "no", just like I did.

I didn't say anything about my expectations, or what I would do, or how I do it.
It also didn't worsen things... There is no clear relationship between the passing of the law and any trend.
The biggest thing to keep in mind when it comes is recognizing when YAGNI (you aren't gonna need it) applies.

In this case, you're building what amounts to a proof of concept or a minimum viable product. Your constraints are mainly time and reliability, ie: it has to work and it has to be delivered by a certain time, so I'd argue the biggest factor in stack selection is your familiarity with the stack in question.

Besides that though, language will have almost no effective impact on your real world performance, which will be dominated by network latency.

You can test this for yourself to confirm: Write a script which sends random strings to a backend which simply writes the string to a database. Have the script print a timestamp before and after calling the API. Likewise have the backend print timestamps before and after each db call. Start the backend up on a small cloud VM, the database on another, and run your script from a laptop on Starbucks WiFi.

I can tell you right now that the laptop to backend latency will be around 50ms, while the backend to db latency will be around 5ms. Could you reduce that 5ms by a factor of 10 with the right language and db choice? Absolutely, but it won't make a difference to the end user.

The website codeberg.org is technically similar to GitHub in that they host your code. The repo for OrganicMaps on codeberg.org is here:

https://codeberg.org/organicmaps/organicmaps

However, as you can see, this is only a mirror of the official, original repository, which is hosted here:

https://git.omaps.dev/organicmaps/organicmaps

And while this is using ForgeJo - the software Codeberg develops - it is hosted by OrganicMaps themselves. Thereby, it is very unlikely that somebody else takes this down for whatever reason.
Immigrants are a net positive contributor to the welfare and pension system in the EU, they are statistically very likely to be the literal hand that feeds you when you will be old and in need of care.

I never said rich people are bad and evil, just that they should pay their fair share. For their own good too, to live in a more harmonious society, but maybe this is better.
Feels like in my youth the biggest risk was stumbling on some freaky gore/porn that scarred you, but somehow that doesn't seem as bad as the risk of getting hooked on dopamine-optimized brainrot, alt-right propaganda, or micro transaction focused games.
Epic is my wife's favorite, for sure. Both of the switch-overs she was involved in were to Epic. They also cost more than the others.

One thing I have learned in my two decades of SWE'ing is how vitally important active competition is. One of the major competitors voluntarily taking themselves out of the competition so it can be sucked dry of value always seems to be good news for the market share, dominance, and profitability of the #1 in the market, and bad news for everyone's customers.
If their plan is to sabotage things, then no their opinions should not count.
I think curation is the key. I sort of trust Disney to curate content for my kids. I definitely do not trust Youtube to do it.

I don't want my kids to be able to "discover" content. Why is that always the feature? Rhetorical question....I know the answer, engagement and stickiness. I just don't like the answer.

.so/.dylib/.dll's typically get linked at load time, right? Like we aren't all manually loading dylibs in our source code. I guess I'm surprised on a platform as locked down as ios that they even allow you to link anything at run time.

chatgpt gives me this snippet but I have no way of knowing if this is roughly how it would look.

Class SBApplication = objc_getClass("SBApplication");

SEL launchSel = sel_registerName("launch");

id app = [SBApplication getAppWithBundleID:@"com.example.app"];

objc_msgSend(app, launchSel);
It is often presented this way because models generally mix up the observable universe and the universe. One key notion is that we are at the center of the universe. Not the Milky Way, not the Sun, Earth is. Yet we know that Earth isn't at the center, so what is that? Because it is defined as our ability to travel from where we are at. Each of us could be considered at the center of our own observable universes, but this is a distinction we don't make because they overlap so closely that we don't have tools with the precision to tell them apart. I would guess that even aliens on the other side of Milky Way have an observable universe that overlaps so closely with our that they are equal to whatever level of precisions our tools allow for. Once you get to someone in a different galaxy, especially one that is moving away from us and not closer, then they have a different observable universe.

But then, what is the universe? One way to think of it is to imagine that every galaxy has at least one intelligent species with their own observable universe. The universe is the sum of all observable universes. The very nature of how to sum them together, what it means to combine multiple sets of thing which include items that don't exist relative to other items in the set, is a question we can't really answer yet. Because of this, even a question like the size of the universe is unknown, and even the question of if more of the universe exists outside of the observable universe isn't simple to answer and gets into the nature of what it means to exist. If someone exists in the universe, but not in the observable universe, it becomes an instance of Russell's Teapot.
With the caveat that the ways it's "worse" can easily be irrelevant compared to the convenience.

For instance, I buy way more shredded cheese than blocks. It removes an annoying step that creates a dirty utensil that isn't trivial to clean (grater). If I'm making 3 quesadillas a day for picky children to eat at different snack or mealtimes, I don't want to own 3 shredders, nor to have to carefully scrub the cheese off it 3x per day.

I haven't noticed any important difference in the cheese besides saving me like 15 minutes a day of fussing with cheese graters.
Yeah I find it a bit startling going from rust (where const is the default) to basically any other language. Sometimes I look at typescript function definitions and I’m like - uuuuhhh does this function mutate that parameter? Does it keep a reference to it? If the object I’m passing is mutated after I call this function, will something break? It’s impossible to tell from a function signature, even with all of typescript’s type safety. That gives me the willies. - and for good reason, it’s tripped me up lots of times.

Even the JS standard library struggles with this. You just have to remember that .sort() modifies the array in place (and returns it), but .slice() does a shallow clone of the array. (Not a deep clone - that would be different again!)
My original comment said:

> connectome — neural structure — in small animals, there's even a possibility we may expand this to human brains (though we don't know how long this will take us to do!)

I don't know how to phrase it as any less "inevitable" without saying it's "impossible".

That said, a restore from backup may be easier than understanding/accurately simulating at exactly the correct depth to do whatever the important thing turns out to be and not waste effort on unnecessary things*: we've known for a long time that it's possible to encourage neurons to grow in certain ways with electrical stimulation. At some point in the research process, I expect someone to try to use this to replicate an existing pattern (probably in something simple like a fruit fly) — if that organism seems to remember things that only the original had learned, that would be interesting.

I expect that people will do the same test with the digital version of the connectome and eventually get it to also remember something from the original living brain, and that people will even then continue argue that the the digital version is still missing something. And that this argument will continue even if the simulation is scaled up to a human.

And even if we can not simply store the copy but allow it to develop in the simulation (human brains do change over time), I expect these arguments to continue even if that digital human connectome simulation learns something, then is downloaded into an organic brain in the fashion I have described, and the new living human brain discusses things that only the simulation had experienced.

Right now, on the topic of personhood, we don't even know the right questions.

* in one extreme, a computer can simulate any physical process. Right now, it looks like quantum mechanics is sufficient for all chemistry, and hence all biology, and hence brains. But it may be wildly excessive to simulate all the way down to that level — we don't know, we have much to learn. On the other, neural nets in AI are widely recognised to be toy models, and lots of people assume they're too simple to explain biological cognition — again, we don't know, we have much to learn.
