the impression I got from the article is that it's a somewhat unsolved problem. the article mentions an "old friends" hypothesis that suggests that it's not exposure to dangerous pathogens that's important in childhood, but exposure to benevolent ones. but yeah, you're right, it's semantics really. kids have a different kind of strength. I would actually suggest it's quite analogous to brain development. kids are more adaptive and I'd argue creative, but adults are more experienced.

How does it get its input files? Where does it run? What's the output used for?
$3k is already close to the price of just a 5090, so if you can have a reasonably fast but way more (equivalent to) VRAM (128gb) machine sounds great for a hobbyist assuming you can easily run and train llama, Stable Diffusion and similar vram-hungry projects.
> The challenge is to think of another model for creating apps and content

The original content model was sustainable for centuries.

Customer pays per viewing, and experiences entertainment for an hour or so.

Then another model emerged after the printing press and record player.

Customer pays once and experiences the same thing as many times as they want.

Now we have a model where a customer pays constantly for no specific entertainment in particular and has no control over when they lose access to some entertainment.

Maybe we just go back to people paying for just what they want…

The issue is the addiction to growth and VC money tech has. We can’t have simple transactions in tech. It needs to be recurring or predatory.

If you read TFA then it's not possible you think it's only about "small government" (whether you agree or not). Small government is a cute euphemism for intentionally turning everything to shit, though, keep it up.
Under the shared responsibility model, such veto makes sense. Just because the end-user (the app has no way to determine if it was a thief or a spy or a monkey or the actual device owner) approves of an action doesn't mean the OS and the app have to grant authorization.

I can see how such a setup is hostile to power users, but then Android is used by 50% of all humanity, and your guess is as good as mine as to just how many want "sudo make me a sandwich" level of control.
Could this be related that the weak force only interacts with left-handed particles (and right-handed antiparticles)?
I would support this if it meant that Nvidia would improve their Linux drivers. As it stands, though, a device running SteamOS on Nvidia hardware sounds painful.

But wait - I can’t reference information shared by the White House because it’s all BS? Look, I’m not saying an executive order is a law, but it’s also not a sticky note. And let’s be honest, a ton of illegals have been coming to the U.S. Trump’s executive order didn’t come out of thin air.

I liked it in the Jurrasic park
I went to a Tesla protest. It was entirely peaceful. I personally don't fault someone for buying a Tesla, particularly before Elon went loony. My goal for the protest is to bring to attention the fact that the owner of that car company is party to the authoritarian takedown of my country, and that people should not support that company any more if they can avoid it.

I agree that vandalizing peoples' cars is illegal, I don't think it is practically useful, and golly gee, we still have a criminal justice system (for now) that can be used to punish those who commit acts of violence.
That's complicated, but not actually unexpected. The Constitution lays out the process and authority to check the President's power, and that process flows from Congress. SCOTUS essentially said "If Congress didn't even find a violation that moved them to invoke their maximum penalty of removal-from-office, why on Earth does anyone think we would impose the law to punish the President's official actions where Congress did not?" SCOTUS can restrain Presidential action (by saying, essentially, "that order is illegal" so nobody need comply) but they've never claimed to have the authority to punish the person in the office for doing the job as best he can. Granted, this was new territory because no previous administration had opened the question of such a sanction... But it's not surprising that SCOTUS responded "Jail the President for doing Presidential stuff? Hold on, let me check the Constitution... Nope, don't see it."
Everything turns clockwise from a specific perspective... that's what is interesting here, perspective and consistency.
rejecting an opinion doesn't mean you have to hold the opposite stance, just that their opinion should hold 0 weight.
That's expected, because they almost all have training cut-off dates from a year ago or longer.

The more interesting question is if feeding in carefully selected examples or documentation covering the new library versions helps them get it right. I find that to usually be the case.

I do too. I've been wondering if there's some short JavaScript I could add to retrieve text from local storage when loaded, and update local storage after every change. Not so it persists for months, but just so it survives a tab close or a browser restart.
It's really a demographic issue. I've found that in the US relatively few people use WA. Same for SEA. But in western Europe almost everything is done on WA.

From "neighborhoodwatch" via "the school information" to "colleagues". Hell, even governments and public transportation have "feel unsafe? message us on whatsapp 06..." In the Netherlands it's truly omnipresent, and without WA you will be left out socially.

I'm reluctant of WA, because I'm steering clear of Meta as much as possible, but I do use it to: keep in touch with at least 26 social groups - friends, family, colleagues, co-workers, business - keep in touch with my date/love, my mother, and father who lives across the world.

granted, there's a big move going towards signal lately - finally. But I'm not sure how big this really is, and how sticky it will prove. Nor if this is just my bubble or truly across the whole country.

Memory bandwidth is quite low for the price. $3,000 for 128GB @ 273GB/s.

You can buy a Mac Studio with an M4 Max for $3,500. 128GB unified memory @ 546 GB/s.

You're also getting a much faster CPU and more usable daily computer.

I suppose if you're a CUDA developer, this thing is probably better though I doubt you'd be training anything worthwhile on a computer this weak. Nvidia advertises the DGX Spark as a machine that mimics very large DGX clusters so the environment is the same. But in terms of hardware specs, it's very disappointing for $3,000.

DGX Station is another beast. It's Blackwell Ultra with 288GB HBM3e and 496GB LPDDR5X. I'm guessing $150k - $200k.
Possibly voice activation trying to interpret baby noises as commands? If so there should be a setting to disable it.

I guess depends on the task? I have very low expectations for Gemini, but I gave it a run with a signal processing easy problem and it did well. It took 30 seconds to reason through a problem that would have taken me between 5 to 10 minutes to reason. Gemini's reasoning was sound (but it took me a couple of minutes to decide that), and it also wrote the functions with the changes (which took me an extra minute to verify). It's not a definitive win in time, but at least there was an extra pair of "eyes"--or whatever that's called with a system like this one.

All in all, I think we humans are well on our way to become legal flesh[].

I propose that it should use a Baysian prior where the background knowledge is assumed to be an A.

While it may be true that most ToS are onerous, suppose we look at a ToS document as a collection of terms of service. It's only the terms of service that cause a removal of rights that would otherwise be assumed. The more terms there are, and the more onerous each one is, the more rights can be removed. But before there are any terms, no rights are removed, so that situation should be an A. Diminished from there, depending on how many terms there are, and each one's onerousness.
Sure. We have a situation where

1) the "West" is constantly at war with Islamists and their discontents in fights almost exclusively begun by them (I believe they are religion-motivated, based on my research, but that's another debate)

2) we have students on visas in the US who are supporting a widely acknowledged foreign terrorist organization, which goes against the letter of the law (which applies more to green-card holders than citizens)

3) people are assuming the worst about things they literally do not know about here

4) I am simply calling this out and getting downvoted as a result
Signal. But not because they cannot read this metadata (they can) but because they promise they don't.
I'm still iterating on a WCAG accessible palette creator for web design/UI:

https://www.inclusivecolors.com/

I use it myself for making branded palettes for projects because it gives you full control over the hue, saturation and lightness curves (instead of these being mostly autogenerated), and it helps you make tint/shades for multiple swatches at a time that go together (rather than a single swatch at a time).

Show HN: Synthetic dataset generator for NLP and tabular data
I built a tool to make synthetic datasets with an AI API. It’s Python-based with a GUI for columns and rows. It’s on GitHub: https://github.com/VoxDroid/Zylthra. Feedback’s okay if you have any.
There are already a ton of high-end gaming consoles you can buy today with nvidia chips. In fact, this is exactly what I did for my own AI machine (dual 3090s).
In complicated code I'm developing (Redis Vector Sets) I use both Claude 3.7 and Gemini 2.5 PRO to perform code reviews. Gemini 2.5 PRO can find things that are outside Claude abilities, even if Gemini, as a general purpose model, is worse. But It's inherently more powerful at reasoning on complicated code stuff, threading, logical errors, ...

You can do that as a moderator, but you still violate the principle of freedom of speech in that case. The is the prejorative of any group to do so.

I tend to prefer groups that understand the principle of free speech, but it isn't a hard requirement.

Culture formerly forced large commercial internet platforms to adhere to freedom of speech and we have lost that partially. And people are rightfully not too amused about that and it isn't necessarily team Trump they blame for that. That is the reality why he now can claim to defend freedom of speech, even if it isn't really true.

> It just protects you from government prosecution.

The first amendment of the US does, but the principle goes beyond that. It is a necessary requirement for independent research for example. There is no law for it and it still is essential.
`makeThingDoerForTest` is a standalone function (or static method) that never gets called in production code. I don't see why it needs to be in an entirely separate module. If you want, you could put it in a separate thing_test module, but then you'd have to expose a more powerful constructor for thing_test to access. I'd rather hide that inside the thing module, and I see no benefit to splitting this functionality across two modules just for the sake of not mixing my peas with my potatoes.
Well and you could of course server JMAP over something like Protobuf, JSON is used for ease of use but it's not like thats required feature.

The bigger benefit of JMAP is it's well designed for dealing with deltas and changes and syncing data requiring less roundtripping than IMAP.
It doesn't matter what the tool does, what matters is 1) whether it is ever exposed to untrusted input, 2) what permissions it has.

If you don't ever expose something to untrusted input, then you're probably fine. But be VERY careful, because you should defensively consider anything downloaded off the internet to be untrusted input.

As for permissions, if you run a tool inside of a sandbox inside of a virtual machine on an airgapped computer inside a Faraday cage six stories underground, then you're probably fine.
> Liberal democracies are build on the principle that no institution is beyond corruption.

It's an ontological issue, if everyone is potentially compromised, how do you know anything ? It's also leveraged by biased medias to discredit old institutions and suddenly no more counter powers..
Yeah, the headline is misleading for just that reason. But rotation in 3d does have an unambiguous orientation which we call right-handed or left-handed (the "right hand rule" if you're unfamiliar with this). I don't know which orientation our galaxy's rotation has, the article only says it's opposite the majority in this sample.
Fluid dynamics simulation with OpenCL, 100 hours is about 10-15 days of concerted effort. That's plenty time to get a grasp of the algebra behind it, get something simple running, port to OpenCL naively and start optimizing.

This just begs the question: Why was the basic Win98 question so ^%$#^% slow?
> your implementation defined behaviour could still be that your compiler is allowed to non-deterministically

No. Non-determinism is a key difference between undefined and implementation defined.

Remember back in school - a function is well defined if it has exactly one output for every input.

Let me turn this question around since we keep going in circles. If the standard said the words you just said instead of “undefined” how would that make C better? Is there some bad implication I am missing?
Send the whole repo to AI Studio using my vibe coded tool `llm_globber` and let Gemini chew on it. You can get this done in a few hours.
Back in the day when I worked at a WISP with 2.4Ghz mountain top antennas the one thing that would work when we were having massive icing issues was email. It was very impressive how it would get through even with massive packet loss and transfer rates measuring in bytes per second.
It very much depends on the specifics around use cases, parties, and jurisdictions. In plenty of them, you're allowed to record and keep track of conversations you're taking part in, as is the other party, but publishing those on the internet would he illegal.

Processing them (like compressing them to mp3 files or storing them in cloud storage) is probably legal in most cases.

The potential problem with LLMs is that they use your input to train themselves.

As of right now, the legal status of AI is very much up in the air. It's looking like AI training will be exempt from things like copyright laws (because how else would you train an LLM without performing the biggest book piracy operation in history?), and if that happens things like personal rights may also fall to the AI training overlords.

I personally don't think using this is illegal. I'm pretty sure 100% of LinkedIn messages are being passed through AI already, as are all WhatsApp business accounts and any similar service. I suppose we'll have to wait for someone to get caught using these tools and the problem making it to a high enough court to form jurisprudence.
The closest thing I remember (late 80s) was getting video games by copying the BASIC source code (typing it out by hand) from magazines from the library.
Show HN: AnuDB – An experimental C++ document store using RocksDB
I have been working in the database field for a significant amount of time; however, I never had the opportunity to work on the core of a database—until now. I am excited to introduce AnuDB, a document-oriented database built using RocksDB for persistence.

Given my background in embedded Linux platforms, I conceptualized running a database on embedded systems. While there are several databases available in the market, most high-quality solutions cater primarily to enterprise customers. Although some databases exist for embedded platforms, they come with various limitations. AnuDB aims to address this gap, specifically targeting the IoT domain, where frequent data streaming and storage are essential.

AnuDB leverages RocksDB’s LSM tree-based architecture as its storage engine, ensuring efficient handling of high-throughput workloads. The project includes JSON-based APIs for CRUD operations, with enforced indexing for document retrieval. The indexing mechanism is implemented using prefix extractors in RocksDB—further details can be found in the Collection class of AnuDB.

I invite you to explore the GitHub repository:https://github.com/hash-anu/AnuDB.
Your insights and feedback would be invaluable in refining and improving the project. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
That's a good question, what if it's 10 hours per year for 10 years?

In that case, I'd probably choose first-aid & the basics of emergency medicine via a couple of half-day or a full-day course per year.

Don't they? I've heard people talking about a third term since October all over the web but this HN thread is the first where I've seen actual ideas floated about how he could do it. The reason I come to /active to find these threads rather than just reading the AP report is because I respect my co-commentors here a great deal and know that they're the type of people to try to verbalise the technical issues at play. In short because this is the only place where these discussions can satisfy my intellectual curiosity rather than just blindly feeding into/denying there's any need for hysteria.
> WhatsApp was a gamechanger. You could send messages or pictures without having to think about the price of it (While being connected to a WLAN...)

Back, when data plans were around 1GB or less some network providers didn't charge you for using whatsapp on specific plans in Europe. There were also whatsapp branded sim cards, but I haven't seem them for a long time though.
ImageBaker: A tool to label, predict and labeled layered images
When clients want an anomaly detection system based on camera feed, we need to define some algorithms, and for it, we need a curated, labelled image dataset. However, without data of anomaly, we won't be able to detect them. After getting the requirements to develop an anomaly detection system without having a dataset for it, I often developed smaller chunks to make anomaly data. I finally made this image baker tool to handle that part. I think now I can use this tool for a longer time and am looking for people's feedback on it.
Jmap was developed by Fastmail, meanwhile all primary FLOSS mail servers do not support it and just new projects like Stalwart are starting to bring it up.
That really sucks :/
In mainstream compilers. Most of these options aren't available in compilers e.g. for safety critical code.
Yes, and AI is demonstrably less biased than Slate is. Your point? Are you arguing for bias?

The article was worded extremely slantingly. It was at least clear to me. In emotional contexts, it's best to stick to the least biased stories you can find.
I've been struggling to understand the hype as well.

I think the excitement is more around seeing how MCP is being embraced, and the impact it can have. Rather than me having to wire up a bunch of tools by hand, I can now point to some configuration files and MCP servers.

I think it's fair for people to be excited, but ultimately, yes, your prediction is correct, and it won't be as exciting after MCP becomes a standard. This is similar to any new technology. e.g. years ago, Go programs and literature were popular on this site, but not so much any more.
I think it's brilliant.

Only when the reveal is done and the action starts does it begin to fall apart as a lackluster story with subpar motivations and arcs.

Until that point it's a fantastic mindfuck.

If they'd simply left it as a drama with no action at all and focused more on character development, it could have been amazing.
Please read the context. let me quote myself

Even within the Netherlands there are pockets of Signal users, Telegram users, and in rare occasions even people using SMS or iMessage. Facebook Messenger also has a foothold in some circles.

That said, you'd be an outlier if you have a mobile phone but no WhatsApp. Everyone has WhatsApp, but fortunately not everyone is using it for everything. Unfortunately, that usually means using an even less secure and trustworthy messenger service.
As a software engineer, probably JavaScript, as I focus on back-end and don’t have many front-end skills aside from a good hand at design.

In general, though, since I believe I’ll lose my job to AI, I’d like to learn and become an electrician.

The success rate is also likely pretty high. You're not necessarily restricted to just the entropy of a single password, but depending on the attack vector it can be conditioned on also knowing the account owner's identity or username/email. Combine that property with the insane payoff of uncappable Azure access, and this starts to look more attractive.
> If you assume instead that the whole universe has angular momentum, well, where did that come from

Would that be same kind of question as “where did the Big Bang come from?”. That’s a lot of energy that came from somewhere as well seemingly for no good reason.

I also wondered immediately about dark matter; could it be that’s where the counter-balance of momentum went? Like most galaxies spin one way and most dark matter would then have to spin the opposite way.

I am not a physicist so this is all random guessing of course.
