I'm traveling to Europe right now and had to install WhatsApp, and this absolutely infuriated me. You cannot start new chats with anyone (on Android at least) unless you grant it the contacts permission. I'm sure other things are limited too, like you say.

Workarounds include having the other person message you first, or manually typing wa.me/+number into your browser.

YouTubers have no idea how much money they are losing due to last click attribution. They're mad that it could be a lot but in reality it is more likely very little.

MegaLag posted a VPN example, which was an edge case, but it was enough to spark outrage. Ironically, there are many YouTubers who have only Amazon affiliate links which Honey never touches.

Many YouTubers that Honey sponsored also didn't have conflicting affiliate links at the time of promotion.

Also, if you work with affiliate links, you should probably know how they work. IMO it'd be condescending if Honey tried to explain to every YouTuber how last click attribution worked.
If you want to define having a larger expenditure than contributing to the budget[1] as parasitic relation, then no, you'll have to own that to yourself.

The point is as Poland gets developed enough to be a net contributer will Poland be a country that has smart financial policies that can continue to outpace the rest.

For instance Estonia is way ahead of the EU members in how digitalized their country is, which has made it an attractive startup hub, due to the efficiency the digitalization has brought.

I tried koreader on a kobo. I wouldn't call it trivially easy when I installed it last year, and I promptly uninstalled it and removed all the hacks so I could get back to a sane installation of the Kobo OS again.

I think maybe for a kindle it might be worth it, but the reality is for Kobo, it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

I found my time better spent setting up a calibre-web in a docker container and then having my kobo sync to that. And that was awesome.
> the minor scale doesn't count because C major = A minor if you start on A, fair enough, forget that one.

It might actually count since the harmonic minor exists. But this is just stressing the point that all of those "separate" scales might perhaps be best introduced as simple variations of the usual diatonic scale. Then sure, you might want to practice them a little bit, but at least you should have "learned" them in that you are not wondering what you're supposed to play.
I see the ".fr" in your profile; but, in the United States, that activity would almost certainly be a conversation with HR.

If you really, really wanted help with a translation project and you didn't want to pay, professional translators (which you should do since translation-by-meaning requires fluency or beyond in both languages), then there are more polite ways of asking this information than cold-calling every person with a "regional" sounding name and saying "hey, you know [presumed mother tongue]?"
I disagree it's as obvious as you think. He could run for VP and then act as de-facto President. It says that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" - in that case, he would have been _elected_ Vice President, not President.

And as as far as the 12th Amendment goes, "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

The 22nd amendment doesn't explicitly say he cannot serve as President, it just says "no person shall be _elected_ to the office of President".

Yes, the spirit of the constitution clearly prevents a 3rd term, but it could be possible to employ a very literal interpretation that allows the above.

Some of the all time great bluesmen had fat sausage fingers so there's a bit more to it I suspect. After the same 40 years I got irritated one day and searched YouTube for "how do I play a C chord without muting strings" and found that my finger and wrist position was all wrong. Also spent a bunch of time watching Frampton, studying where his fingers go and what they look like.

> That is a problem, yet the law must still be enforced.

Tellingly, you’re phrasing that in the passive voice, as if “the law” is “enforced” by higher beings sitting outside the political process. It is not. The enforcement of criminal laws is a political act, performed by political actors. And it is an inherently discretionary political act. Prosecutors actually have no obligation to enforce the law in every circumstance.

> There is no perfect solution but that isn't an argument for lawlessness, especially for powerful political leaders.

It’s not an argument for lawlessness, but rather an argument for viewing the political act of law enforcement as being secondary to the ultimate political act of electing leadership in any scenario where those two things could be seen as being in conflict.

Put differently, you have to see prosecution and elections as political acts that both seek to vindicate the will of the people. After all, criminal prosecutions are brought on behalf of the People to vindicate the public interest in law and order, not private rights. So it’s perfectly legitimate to ask whether, under particular circumstances, it’s more important to enforce some criminal law—especially one unrelated to elections—or whether it’s more important to ensure the public can choose its leaders through elections.
I think what we’ll come to widely realize is that syncing state between two minds (in your example, the travel agent’s mind and your mind; more widely, AI agents and their user’s minds) is extremely expensive and slow and it’s gonna be very hard to make these systems good enough to overcome the super low latency of keeping a task contained to a single mind, your own, and just doing most stuff yourself. The CPU/GPU dichotomy as a lens for viewing the world is widely applicable, IME.
If I may ask - how are humans in general different? Very few of us invent new ideas of significance - correct?
Netflix is what you put on while you are doing other things. That’s not a criticism, really, that’s their product focus

https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/netflix-backlash-casual-vi...

I had been a Netflix subscriber since the days of DVDs by mail and finally cancelled last month. It’s not worth +$20/mo for casual viewing. And they have a bad track record of cancelling shows I actually liked and promoting hallmark quality programs instead.

I don’t think much needs to be said about movie theaters. When most shows are remakes, sequels, superhero movies or other franchises, it’s all so tired.

So sure, movie theaters might be dead, but they share a grave with Netflix.
I’ve been theory crafting around video games for children on the opposing premise. I think fundamentally the divide is on the quality of content — most games have some value to extract, but many are designed to be played inefficiently, and require far more time investment than value extracted.

Eg Minecraft, Roblox, CoD, Fortnite, Dota/LoL, the various mobile games clearly have some kind of value (mechanical skill, hand-eye coordination, creative modes, 3D space navigation / translation / rotation, numeric optimization, social interaction, etc), but they’re also designed as massive timesinks mostly through creative mode or multiplayer.

Games like paper Mario, pikmin, star control 2, katamari damacy, lego titles, however are all children-playable but far more time efficient and importantly time-bounded for play. Even within timesink games there are higher quality options — you definitely get more, and faster, out of satisfactory / factorio than modded Minecraft. If you can push kids towards the higher quality, lower timesink games, I think it’s worth. Fail to do so and it’s definitely not.

The same applies to TV, movies, books, etc. Any medium of entertainment have horrendous timesinks to avoid, and if you can do so, avoiding the medium altogether is definitely a missed opportunity. Screens are only notable in that the degenerate cases are far more degenerate than anything that came before it
So deserved.
I installed on a brand new kindle and didn't notice any difference.
Oversaturation of unoriginal movies and sequels coupled with insanely overpriced tickets and concessions. A huge shock.

It costs us (family of 4) nearly $100 to go the movies. And that’s not even counting a meal (only snacks)

Or, we can spend $20 buying the movie (or $4 renting it), watch it on 4K OLED on our couches, pause whenever we want, etc, and have a nice dinner for less.
You're wrong. It's explicitly against the rules, as Kasey said.

Presumably the air force decided to blame and subsequently fire Del Pizzo because that would make for better PR. This makes me wonder why they didn't give Del Pizzo some money and an NDA.

Seems unrelated to my point. A visa is a privilege that can be revoked for bad or antisocial behavior. It would be very problematic if that were not the case.
I mean I still love going to the theatre for a nice big screen movie. I have a great IMAX theatre nearby, and a lot of local cinemas. There are showings of older films — Lord of the Rings last year, Interstellar in IMAX, etc. People show up for these. “Movie theaters are dead” is definitely a big exaggeration.

But yeah, I’m not gonna pay to watch the average mediocre new movie at the questionable regal/AMC and pay like $40 for refreshments. But I’ll totally go out to see any movie (new or old) which are great experiences and benefit from a huge screen and fantastic audio system.

Theaters have over-indexed on quantity over quality. There are loads of locations with poor projection quality and shitty sound, dozens of screens, and lots of crap movies coming out. Why would people show up for that when they can stream something better at home on a potentially nicer TV?

So yeah, the industry will change a lot, but it probably won’t die.

I could imagine a vision-enabled transformer model being useful to create a customizable “reading mode”, that adjusts page layout based on things like user prefs, monitor/window size, ad recognition, visual detail of images, information density of the text, etc.

Maybe in an alternate universe where every user-agent enabled browser had this type of thing enabled by default, most companies would skip site design all together and just publish raw ad copy, info, and images.
It’s effectively illegal based on how they call shooting fouls and ban hand-checking.

Where do you get maglevs ant low speed are less efficient? They are frictionless. Of course, I don’t even care if they are. You know what they’re more efficient than? Cars!

Building medium-speed and high-speed maglevs are part of the solution to getting people out of cars.

They are building them in China. Let’s see how far they get.

China built almost 30,000 miles of HSR before the US finished any.

Maybe maglevs will turn out to be one of those things that just doesn’t work in America but works everywhere else.
I was put on it in 2015 after an acquaintance of mine that was previously on the list recommended me… I only heard from Forbes a few days before the list came out, they asked me for a photo and asked if I approved the 2 sentence blurb they prepared, and that was it. For years afterwards they would try to get me to come to their events, but I never had any interest, and I assume that was how they made money… but I never paid anything to be on the list or had real interest in being on it, and I don’t think it led to anything other than my technically illiterate parents thinking that it was impressive.

I think there are plenty of movies that aren't remake-of-a-copy-of-a-sequel out there. I recall I liked Didi.

I also think a lot of people have a better experience at the movies. The movie gets watched straight through. It isn't abandoned, stopped to get snacks, or text, or take a phone call. If someone keeps falling asleep, you don't rewind 10 times. If the movie starts out too slow or subtle, you keep going instead of scrolling to find another movie. etc.
If you like chat interfaces, you might like this open-source tool I built, which is basically a chat UI but it saves you the hassle of copying and pasting files https://github.com/dyad-sh/dyad

Basically it's running a chat UI locally on a Git repo and you can reference files like "#foo.py" and then if you want to edit a file, you hit "Apply code" for a markdown code block and then it shows you a code diff so you can review the changes before actually updating the files. I've found this makes it much easier to curb stray edits and keep the LLM edits focused on what you actually care about.
No its not, its a bet on AI replacing workers. Almost all the value isn't going to be from users paying $20 or even $200 per month, but companies paying millions to billions of dollars for the api.
That does not seem to account for all their revenue, it does not say what percentage of all revenue comes from tax money.
Yeah there’s a pretty clear distinction between the NBA (and even college somewhat) from before Steph Curry and after. It’s been as revolutionary as the addition of the line in the first place and the shot clock.
I think research shows that this is the opposite. People reserve going to the movie theater for big expensive releases. They get "plot line" shows and movies for a low fee on Netflix or free on some streaming service.
We also recently went to the Interstellar at the local IMAX. Was dead silent in the audience, even through the credits.

Also watched Nosferatu at ghe IMAX during its opening weekend. Was concerned when I saw the many groups of teenagers clearly going out on a "fright night". But I had no reason to fear, could hear a pin drop during the silent scenes.

So while I highly appreciate that audiences here are well-behaved, I'm not sure that alone is the cause. Because I do feel like the rooms are less filled here too.
People really like their early return statements however.
Special effects when done right make the movie a lot more watchable. There is a decade-old movie (besides many others), Oblivion, which I can re-watch repeatedly. The effects there seem to have been done with the right purpose and meaning. Of course, there are a lot more but this is the one I remember from my recent re-watch.

In a sea of wellness apps, Breathwrk cuts through because it’s immediate. You don’t need an hour of meditation or a yoga mat. You open it, breathe, and feel better. That’s the kind of simplicity that wins.
That is search. Like Google, you need to verify accuracy of what you get told. An LLM that talks then quotes only government docs would be best so you can quickly check. Any conclusions the LLM makes about tax are suspect.

It depends on what exactly your program does and equally important, where it is deployed and used. Security is a matter of degree based on context i.e. there are levels of Security. It is not a all or nothing proposition.

If your program is going to be used for some non-critical work internally you don't have to bother much about attack surface/vectors etc. Just use some standard "healthy" compiler options and you are good.

If you would like to know more on this subject, i recommend reading the classic The Art of Software Security Assessment: Identifying and Preventing Software Vulnerabilities by Mark Dowd et al.

> If I may ask - how are humans in general different? Very few of us invent new ideas of significance - correct?

Firstly, "very few" still means "a large number of" considering how many of us there are.

Compared to "zero" for LLMs, that's a pretty significant difference.

Secondly, humans have a much larger context window, and it is not clear how LLMs in their current incarnation can catch up.

Thirdly, maybe more of us invent new ideas of significance that the world will just never know. How will you be able to tell if some plumber deep in West Africa comes up with a better way to seal pipes at joins? From what I've seen of people, this sort of "do trivial thing in a new way" happens all the time.
Brilliant! Literally my first thought when I saw the original submission was “I wish there was a banjo version”!

Definitely will be using your app.
When Data/File based workflows started in movies (around 2004), 2-3 copies was the standard from the get go and ideally this was with MD5 checksums (currently xxhash is more common because it's alot faster). LTO backups are also generally part of the copy chains as the 3rd or 4th copy. Before that, duplication with tape was while recording wasn't as common, but it was more common to duplicate after recording. Although you'd have some amount of generation loss depending on the format, not so with recording to multiple decks with the same source video. With film it obviously wasn't possible but original negative (o-neg) was much more cautiously handled. You'd have copies made going to an interpositive for editing and dailies process. Those wouldn't an identical quality so to get a negative copy, you'd be 2 generations of loss. By the time you're seeing a print in a theater, it would be 3 generations. (one->IP->IN->print)
Show HN: Nameflip.io – Domain Marketplace
Hey HN,

I’ve been building NameFlip.io — a clean, no-fluff domain marketplace designed for people who want to list, price, and promote domains without needing GoDaddy, Afternic, or ugly parked pages.

- Built-in offer system (users can submit offers directly on public portfolio pages)
- Auto-post to Bluesky/X when a new domain is listed
- Simple UX — register, list, share
- Custom profile pages via nameflip.io/@username

Example: nameflip.io/@drellybochelly

I'm planning Stripe + Escrow integrations, charts for trending domains, and possibly AI name suggestions in the near future.

Would love your thoughts, questions, or ideas!
Absolutely love KOReader. I use it on my Kindle 3 and have moved my parents and brother over to using it on their Kindles as well. You can even install it on relatively new models thanks to the recent WinterBreak gaolbreak.

There was some discussion about it on HN not long ago:

I found KOReader's Android app a tad buggy, but the experience is wonderful on Kindles. If you've got an old Kindle kicking around, I also wrote up a little thing about bringing them up to speed which mentions KOReader:

These articles (both positive and negative) are probably popular because it's impossible really to get a rich understanding of what LLMs can do.

So readers want someone to tell them some easy answer.

I have as much as experience using these chatbots as anyone, and I still wouldn't claim to know what they are useless at and what they are great at.

One moment, an LLM will struggle to write a simple state machine. The next, it will write a web app that physically models a snare drum.

Considering the popularity of research papers trying to suss out how these chatbots work, nobody - nobody in 2025, at least - should claim to understand them well.
I said this in the late 90's with divx rips and turning off cable tv then for a cable modem and usenet. It took a while for the world to catch up.

> Why would people ask you how ChatGPT is powering the NPC?

Because they think LLM and ChatGPT are synonymous.
As it was explained to me in law school, yeah, that's basically how oil rights work.
LLMs as a natural language interface is fine.

What I’m saying is that if there was a standard protocol for making travel plans over the internet, we wouldn’t need an AI agent to book a trip.

We could just create great user experiences that expose those APIs like we do for pretty much everything on the web.
I've run numerous interactive text adventures through ChatGPT as well, and while it's great at coming up with scenarios and taking the story in surprising directions, it sucks at maintaining a coherent narrative. The stories are fraught with continuity errors. What time of day it is seems to be decided at random, and it frequently forgets things I did or items picked up previously that are important. It also needs to be constantly reminded of rules that I gave it in the initial prompt. Basically, stuff that the article refers to as "maintaining state."

I've become wary of trusting it with any task that takes more than 5-10 prompts to achieve. The more I need to prompt it, the more frequently it hallucinates.
