Nice UX.

News is good because it is inherently more interesting than any old video vs having to curate a bunch of interesting videos. It's also good that the videos loop—most tools that have tried to sync videos seem to never autoloop which means you have to keep manually playing it which is annoying.

Some improvements:

Increase the amount of exercise videos for the pro subscription—I only see three and only one new 2min video per day. The format is good enough to be a regular learning tool. I'd rather see a wall of pro-only videos when evaluating whether I went to subscribe. You want to give a sense of immediate value via backlog that the user will unlock since the impulse buy is that I get to immediately do a bunch of exercises because I loved the teaser exercise.

I think the ideal is that I like the demo lesson, I register, I click the exercises list to do another exercise, and I see a bunch of paywalled interesting videos that I'll be able to watch&learn, so I pay right there on the spot after clicking a video that I wanted to listen to.

Exercises:

- Alphabetize the word list so they are easier to find. Takes me forever to find words in this kind of setup, same on Duolingo.

- Allow text input even with the word list visible. The exercise customization option would then just be "Show word bank: boolean".

- Let us click words.
Nikola to generate a static site and blog that I never bother updating because Mastodon is easier, and some shell scripts. The script that publishes the site creates a git repo, adds the static files and the remote host, force-pushes to origin and then gets deleted. It's as elegant as it is useless.
Pure Storage FlashBlade//EXA Boosts AI Performance, Scalability
> I took that example from the current official Vue 3 docs:

Yes, that API also exists as compatibility with the Options API, but this is what you should use:

https://vuejs.org/guide/typescript/composition-api.html#typi...

> So 2 years into Vue 3. Has anything changed?

Yes, e.g. templates are type-checked now. If you have specific things that aren't supposed to work, please list them.

> The real dealbreaker is still the reactivity system which leads to spaghetti very quickly.

I've had much better experiences with Vue than with React in this regard.
Refact.ai Agent got ~93% on Aider Polyglot bench: 0 user inputs, 100% autonomous
Refact.ai Agent + Claude 3.7 Sonnet scored 92.9% (no Thinking) and 93.3% (with Thinking) on Polyglot Benchmark — fully autonomous!

Benchmark: Aider’s Polyglot (225 hardest coding exercises) across C++, Go, Java, JS, Python, and Rust.
Result: 20 points ahead of the current highest score on the leaderboard (72.9% by Aider with Gemini 2.5 Pro).

How? Refact.ai handles programming tasks end-to-end in your IDE — with high accuracy & without human input:

- Acts autonomously at every step.
- Takes iterative approach: Plans, executes, tests, self-corrects — all by itself until the task is fully solved.
- Deeply integrates with dev tool and environment, enabling Agent to act independently.
- Self-tests & revises steps mid-process, plus runs multiple checks if needed
- Solves tasks in ≤30 steps, optimizing token usage.

This is much closer to real-world software development and vibe coding: developers can delegate entire tasks to AI Agent while doing other work, then simply receive the final result.

Thinking vs. No-Thinking Mode
Thinking Mode improved accuracy by 0.4% but used 2x tokens.

Full-stack developer with 18+ years of experience building websites and applications across industries including media, finance, and e-commerce. I work across the full stack to create fast, accessible, and scalable solutions. Comfortable owning the entire development lifecycle—from architecture and infrastructure to UI/UX and performance optimization. Deep experience with custom CMS solutions, serverless architectures, and integrations with complex APIs.
With today's models that means it will pitch the upsell every three sentences. They're happy to comply.
Yes, because you're rebutting to a post about light(er) web components by saying that we're blowing it out of proportion since your specific case with very specific users can work with 2MB of Javascript. You gave no indication that you're aware of other use cases that will benefit from these smaller frameworks, and even though I am aware you can't put in one couple hundred words post everything about your knowledge you showed zero empathy towards web users that are different than yours. Apologies if that's not the case, I still feel like it's a discussion worth having. More so if you agree with my words.
I can try, but I'll need a pen.
How does NVIDIA manage this issue? I wonder whether they have a very different supply chain or just design software that puts less trust in the reliability of those advertised features.
It does. It also has a rare race condition you can occasionally notice, where the fake-timestamp of the parent comment is in the future of that of the child comments.
Why? Because maybe they don't like to be detained just for the fact they have texted someone on Whatsapp that they disapprove of the current US administration.
I'm surprised this is being downvoted. Don't waste hours of other people's time for your fun.

Imagine being one of the people who had to field all of those phone calls. Probably quite a few of those callers were quite angry. Imagine being subject to that anger because some moron in IT you never met thought it would be funny to play a prank that lands on your head.

Guitar tab is uniquely suited for exercises because it directly shows which string and fret to play, which is important since the same note can be played in multiple positions on the fretboard, unlike an instrument like the piano where std notation does show you exactly what to play. It also clearly communicates guitar-specific techniques (bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs) that are awkward to represent in traditional notation. For exercises specifically, tab shows you where your hand should be positioned on the neck, making it easier to develop proper technique and muscle memory.

BTW the original comment didn't make sense since the app does support tab, just wanted to make this point. Also not saying that learning std notation isn't valuable although many excellent players never learn it.

etc. I know these are anecdotal, but think how odd it is for there to be "how to disable" articles about any tech. I don't remember seeing similar articles about how to remove e.g. the search feature from apps. Some people are definitely against this tech.

I'm pretty sure Olivier Pomel rarely does podcasts, but this was a pretty good one.

Some of my thoughts:

- Customers "lie to themselves" saying they prefer noise to missed issues, when in practice 2 false alarms make them lose faith - and its implications of that to AI.

- The path to agentic adoption comes from finding narrow use-cases they can solve with high confidence, and bringing them to life.

- How foundation models can't understand time-series, and how DataDog's foundation model, Toto (get it?!) tackles it.

Ask HN: Why hasn't anyone fixed product search yet?
Every solution I've seen either:

1. Replicates Google's ad-driven model (but worse)

2. Claims 'AI' but acts as a black box

Yet we all waste hours daily on:

- Decoding fake reviews
- Reverse-engineering SEO-optimized 'best of' lists
- Cross-referencing Reddit threads from 2018

Serious question: What would it take to build a truly user-aligned product search engine?

Technical constraints? Business model dilemmas? Or is it just a hard problem nobody wants to solve right?
F# is a very well-polished functional language. Think of it to Haskell as C# is to Java. No worries about space leaks or purely-academic syntax or monads (though you can get those if you need them). All with tight integration into one of the biggest, well-established ecosystem (CLI). It's managed by smart people who know how to keep it from derailing as it grows.
So .. how's Nvidia dealing with this? Or do they benefit from motherboard manufacturers doing preferential integration testing?
You're probably correct, but I feel like I have to raise the issue of Zuckerberg spending a comparable amount on VR which was much more speculative.

Whatever education system you went through and came out saying shit like that is the real grift.

Think about it for a second. The USIP is a think tank. Think tanks don't accomplish things, that's not their purpose. Their stated mission is "education and training" ffs.

Next time at least read the opening paragraph of the wikipedia article of an org you call a "grift" on the public internet, you'll look a lot smarter that way.
We had the task of building a highly insulated small house.
Big enough to hold a hot cup of tea (and meassure how good it holds its temperature inside).

Our design was very, very good in that regard. (I used insulation building material from the house my family build at that time) But granted, it was not so pretty.

But that was not a stated goal. But when it came to grades, suddenly design and subjective aesthetics mattered and a pretty house, but useless in terms of insulation won. And we did not failed, but got kind of a bad result and I stopped believing in that teachers fairness.
Nue is a very cool project but if you want people to take the project seriously you should probably tone down your confrontational marketing :)

Also, I checked the demo and there's like 100kB of WASM code you're not taking into consideration in that React button comparison?

Anyway, congrats on the project. I'm really curious to see how the whole vision will turn out.
Medellin is Colombia, not Mexico.

Also, the Colombian Cartels are a different set of organizations that have different origins from the Mexican Cartels - the former being a side effect of the Colombian Civil War and the latter being a side effect of the 1990s Peso Crisis and the mass layoffs in the Mexican Army and Petrochemicals industry

Read or watch "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez. The fissures of the 1899-1903 Colombian Civil War (4-10% of Colombians died) were never resolved and it morphed into "La Violencia" which then morphed into the ongoing Colombian conflict.

You need money to buy weapons, so Colombian insurgent groups (right and left leaning) entered the drug trade to arm themselves - especially after the USSR reduced funding in the 70s-80s to concentrate on Afghanistan.

You see the same dynamics in Afghanistan, Syria, and Myanmar.
I truly do not understand how anyone can defend what happened here. This is wrong, plain and simple.

Somehow an anti-DEI push is "ridiculous", but the prior pro-DEI push isn't?

There are those who were successful without merit, achieved renown/success only because they were DEI tokens.

Therefore if they didn't deserve their 'achievements' by the merits in the first place, there's nothing wrong with taking their stories down once the political climates have changed (especially a climate that encourages truth and merits over the political advantage that got those DEI tokens in in the first place).

Elicit | San Francisco + remote (US timezones) | https://elicit.com/careers

Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help researchers figure out what’s true and make better decisions. We scaled to >$5MM annual revenue and 450k MAU fast. We're hiring for multiple roles and are primarily interested in people with early-stage company experience, who are comfortable in high-agency, fast-paced teams.

Reasons you might want to join Elicit:

1. We have been thinking about how to apply AI for high-stakes knowledge work since even before GPT-1. Elicit was spun-out from Ought (https://ought.org/) which was an applied research lab.

2. If you're concerned about the potential downsides and risks of super-powerful AI: so are we! Happy to explain more of this story on a call, or you can also check e.g. https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-06-process for a primer.

3. We like spending time with each other, and have get-togethers every 6 weeks, but we're flexible on location.

Reasons you might not want to join Elicit:

1. We've found a level of product market fit (as evidenced by metrics) but we've not proven everything out yet. If you want predictability, Elicit is not for you.

2. We aim to hire people who thrive in low-bureaucracy environments, and let them loose. If you need structure, lots of support, close mentorship, or tightly-defined work assignments, Elicit is not for you.

Look, this sounds like a frustrating nightmare, but the way it seems to us consumers is that AMD chose to rely on poorly implemented and supported technology, and Nvidia didn't. I can't blame AMD for the poor support by motherboards manufacturers but I can and will blame AMD for relying on it.
>Nobody was going to pay for that.

Japanese artists exist.
IMO talking about the “heaviness” of popular web frameworks is way too simplistic to be actually meaningful.

How light or heavy an app feels, in my experience, has very little to do with initial bundle size, and far more to do with how adeptly the developers have solved the distributed systems problems of their app.

Are images compressed and cached on a CDN? Is linked content pre-fetched? Does the app avoid unnecessary roundtrips to the server?

These are the questions that truly matter, IMHO. They’re also things that junior devs are likely to get wrong.

All that said, I agree that you tend to see far more sluggish websites written in React than in any other framework. But personally, I think that’s a consequence of React being popular, and attracting a larger proportion of devs who miss important details.

I share this opinion of Electron, BTW.
>This is a management and leadership problem.

It's easy (and mostly correct) to blame management for this, but it's such a foundational issue that even if everyone up to the CEO pivoted on every topic, it wouldn't change anything. They simply don't have the engineering talent to pull this off, because they somehow concluded that making stuff open source means someone else will magically do the work for you. Nvidia on the other hand has accrued top talent for more than a decade and carefully developed their ecosystem to reach this point. And there are only so many talented engineers on the planet. So even if AMD leadership wakes up tomorrow, they won't go anywhere for a looong time.
Yeah. Easier said than done, I know, but they need to not just catch up to nVidia but leapfrog them somehow.

I would have said that releasing cards with 32GB+ of onboard RAM, or better yet 128GB, would have gotten things moving. They'd be able to run/train models that nVidia's consumer cards couldn't.

But I think nVidia closed that gap with their "Project Digits" (or whatever the final name is) PCs.
> Google and Facebook would happily run every piece of user generated content through an LLM if they had enough GPUs. Same with Microsoft and every enterprise document.

.. But how much actual value derives from this?
I don't know about you, but even as a senior engineer, my employer hasn't given me the ability to spend money :-) It's not something employers normally do.

And as was pointed out, if you use something like MCP, you can control what it spends on. You can limit the amount, and limit to a whitelist. It may still occasionally buy the wrong thing, but the wrong thing will be something you preapproved.
The market can stay stupid for longer than we can stay liquid.
COD wasn't "testing various modes." It was a completely new requirement to replace Navy C-2s which were reaching end of life. It wasn't part of the original contract; it was a completely new "oh, we have this on the shelf and it's fit enough for purpose."
> he was angry, he marked it wrong.

That’s grounds for termination to me. Seriously. I would put this man out of a job and endanger the livelihood of him and his family for this kind of shit.
CrazyGames | https://about.crazygames.com/ | REMOTE (in Europe) | Full-time | Multiple roles

With recent technologies such as WebGPU and WebAssembly, the browser is quickly becoming a powerful gaming platform. High-quality 3D graphics and near-native level performance are becoming possible without the need for downloads, apps, or platform-specific development. Our browser games platform is already reaching more than 40 million people per month. We are self-funded, profitable, remote-first, and fast-growing.

We are currently looking for multiple people to bring our product, engineering, and marketing to the next level.

Please note that we're looking for people who can work on a European timezone and are ideally based in Europe (which includes the UK for those in doubt).

Yes, that's true, but I'd rather keep them as ePub so it will work well with other readers.
This is the first I heard of this?
LM studio has a fork button on every chat part. Sorry, can't think of a better word - you can fork on any human or ai part. You can also edit, but editing isn't, it essentially creates a copy of the context with the edit, and sends the whole thing to the AI. This can overflow your context window, so it isn't recommended. Forking of course does the same thing, but it is obvious that it is doing so, whereas people are surprised to learn editing sends everything.
I think of it as a necessary, not sufficient condition. Same as with the football analogy. Everton and Spurs were in the premier league when it started, but they're not considered the cream of the crop.

Checking the other side of this, what media properties did not exist in 1995 but are a world class now? Not too obvious to me.
