I'll tell you what's right about Telegram: I don't know how they're the only independent app that seems to be able to produce such a well built UI/UX for a chat application in 2025.

I maintain that someone should fork their codebase and bolt on a different backend (Signal, Matrix, whatever). It's right there and it's very, very good.

(Yes, I know it's not as simple as "bolt on a different backend". You know what I mean.)
Eugenics!
I don't, and I don't think you should expect to, either. But I'd recommend doing open source work anyway — it's a fantastic way to stand out when applying for jobs, to meet other programmers who may be hiring, and to contribute back to the world!
I suspect the best way to forge an independent path in 2025 is to combine your work with social media. It seems like people with a dedicated audience can do whatever they please and live comfortably.
Exactly. We've now got help in the inner loop, authoring code. But the bottleneck just shifts. If you're using ai codegen to write production code, but then throwing it all over the wall at another engineer to review you're not getting the full productivity benefit. It's time to envision an ai first coding workflow that covers the whole development lifecycle.
I think there are ways a friend can be toxic without threatening death. This friend may encourage you to isolate from your jewish friends, or explicitly make your jewish friends feel unwelcome by saying slurs while in group settings. This friend is explicitly making you in the position where you have to isolate your own friend groups from each other to "keep the peace", i.e. you are forced to do the labor, instead of them, to handle the harm they are causing.

Like we all know a guy who we can't keep around because he keeps saying unhinged stuff, or creeps on any women, or whatever it is he does that ruins it for everyone else.

So I think it's more nuanced than just refusing to cut off heinous viewpoints. It's also how this person injects this view in your existing friend ecosystem.
The Black Dog have a lovely Patreon where they personally answer comments. Have you considered asking them?
2024Q1 was already a bad quarter to compare against. It was already %10 down compared to 2023.
This is such a meme on Hacker News. How much evidence is there really for this? There might be some, but saying its the primary reason CEOs hire consultants is an even stronger claim that needs justification.

This is an MTA map, not a general “transit” map. Having the AirTrain on it is a bit of a bonus, but probably reflects (a) it being the most common question MTA gets and (b) it being more integrated with the rest of the MTA system than PATH (use of metrocard, etc).
What makes you think capitalism is in "late-stage"? And what makes you think that free labor, voluntarily given, has anything to do with capitalism? And if it does, how could the astounding amount of value provided by the open source community be considered a failure?

Seems interesting, do you have any place to read more?

I took a look at DEAP, but it seems to be more tree-based, where as you seem to be talking about "linear program tapes" which I know nothing about.

Also, it seems like the examples I find online of genetic programming are mostly discrete optimization, sometimes policy. The only classification problem that DEAP gave as an example was spambase, which uses pre-computed features (word frequencies) as the dataset (rather than the raw emails).

Can you describe linear program tapes a bit? And give an example of a machine learning task more similar to where DNN are used that would be amenable to GP without feature engineering?
Do you have original and redesign mixed up on Brass? 1's ID is much higher than 2's, not sure if BGG does sequential IDs but I think I've noticed in the past that they seem to.

Either way, I'd never even consider buying 1 (the redesign?), it's nearly impossible to "read" that board, while 2 (the original?) looks immediately inviting, without being at-all ugly.
Model 3 sales are also down.
Seems interesting. I feel like cursor currently places too _much_ emphasis on AI tooling for how often I use it; and claude code, while nice; is vendor locked + has no UI. Seems like an interesting combo of the two.

Anyone have experience with it yet?
> People will frequently say that downvoting is not for disagreeing

Those people are wrong.
I mean, I don’t generally like to go over somebody’s posting history because it feels like stupid very-online silliness, but they brought it up.

I see some unflagged center-right political opinions sometimes. It is stuff that a mainstream democrat would probably disagree with but find, like, not odious or offensive. Therefore I think they are just getting flagged because any political opinions here have a chance of getting flagged. This is how the website is supposed to work, if we as a community decided that mainstream political opinions were ok, the site would become a place to argue about what exactly is considered mainstream.
Imagine doing something out of passion and goodwill.
I would say only Brian Eno can make one.

Maybe he made some other music thats continuation.
I believe in the future we will see a much more pronounced split between people who prefer reality to those who prefer un-reality.

Un-reality is the mediated, constructed "reality" that can be conjured up and perpetuated through mediums such as the Internet. It needs constant effort behind it to keep it going because it isn't tethered to actual experience. Un-reality is things like the hyper-partisan views on things that seem like they change on a whim, or extremist views on gender relations. It requires a tribalistic level of affiliation. It is something that has evolved to prize self-perpetuation (e.g. memes) over the views it claims to espouse. (This pattern of growth at all costs also occurs in other contexts, such as business.)

Reality, on the other hand, is the messy, boring, uncontrollable and unmediated thing we experience as humans. It is harder to transmit online because it isn't something that is easily swallowed, but it has a universal appeal to us as we recognize humanity in it. Reality has much bigger downs and ups than un-reality does, that's what makes us want to escape it sometimes. It also has really crappy truths and circumstances in it; there's no respawns or undo.

In some sense, this split already exists: fans of un-reality we often label as too online, implying that they prefer online life to actual life. I believe the biggest difference here lies in the preference for mediated vs unmediated interactions.
Chargebacks in particular are eaten by the merchant, not the credit card company, unless the merchant puts in the effort to show that the chargeback is incorrect or fraudulent.
Either work for a company who has an interest in the software, or do consulting where you help customers use/adapt the software in their specific context. Those are basically the options that actually work.

Unless you are famous, its unlikely you will get enough donations to be meaningful.
Automated deployments: how we made deploying often easy
Nice idea. Playback rate should be pretty easy to implement!

I've never done a Firefox extension before but I could definitely give it a go.
It is a tough environment for selling $70k+ trucks and SUVs like that. As nice as they are, vehicles like the EV9 and Lightning aren't much worse and are much cheaper.
I'm the founder and CEO of General Agents. Happy to answer questions!
Many projects go the VC route and pitch a business model built on the back of the open source stuff. Look at Astral, for example, where ruff and uv are 100% open source but they are VC backed. Admittedly not the dream scenario having to deal with finance people while working FOSS
Its really not that hard. I mean sure it takes some planning and avoiding excess fat=carbs but lots of the following will get you there easily -

Personally I think the collection used is pretty good, not perfect but not cherry picking. I find CC's explanation unsatisfactory and loose, mostly placing the blame on philosphers that predate the recent trend of less color by decades or millennia, and skipping over well known major events in the history of color fashion. But I do agree that ornamentation and color are less common today in architecture and product design than they were in prior decades, and than they were for much of history. Except perhaps for a narrow band of blue.

It's an alternate technique for raising taxes.

It incidentally also reduces the social impact of a small number of extremely wealthy people, thus helping democracy.

It's probably not legal without a Constitutional amendment, but one can dream.
I don't think that is true at all, especially if the "we" is the west. This strikes me as some sort of savior complex.

How has NATO delayed bloodshed in Ukraine between 1991 and 2022?
Is that prickly ash? Like a toothache tree with all the sharp spikes on the trunk?

It looks like sancho is the berry produced by the tree. The leaves look similar to our toothache tree or Hercules Club as some call it. I know that the bark here in NAmerica has been used as a local anesthetic for a long time. It produces a tingly, numbing sensation when it becomes wet. I have used the bark to numb gums or throat pain. I never tried the berries.

My tree here died in the last drought. It was a birdshit variety since it was growing along the fence. The seed was dropped by a bird as it rested on the fence and I got a tree as a result! Gotta wait for the next one I guess.
Passion and goodwill doesn't pay the rent.
This place would look like 4chan if it wasn't for the moderation.

Moderation absolutely drives the culture, by setting a tone that drives away certain users while attracting others.

In other words what ever issues a site has are inherently due to moderation whether it be a choice on the part the moderators or a lack of resources to moderate as they would like to.
This quarter should be fairly representative. February Model Y sales were down significantly for the reason you espouse. March Y sales are up substantially due to unfulfilled orders for February and enhanced demand due to the new model.

However, Model Y availability is now "next day", meaning that the March bump is over.
I totally disagree. "Shattering" one's identity (which is a completely fictional idea, only existing inside one's head) is essential for finding one's place in the universe.

Failure to adopt an accurate perspective of one's place in the universe is the greatest source of human anxiety.

Plus, if you can't discuss something like politics with people, are they really your friends at all? Not very good ones at least...
> Are you really astonished by this?

Yes, because it's literally not a thing that I see happen. It seems like a terribly intrusive question to ask, and I certainly wouldn't ever feel comfortable asking anyone.

> What your "social group" does is outside the norm.

Perhaps now, but myself and most of my social group are old enough that it absolutely was the norm when we were younger. I was unaware that this was a thing that had changed.

> They are using ignorance to maintain tribal unity

Certainly not, since most know each other's political stances through the ordinary course of interacting with each other over the years.

> My guess is that your actually not astonished at all.

You guess wrong, so your personal attack here is powerless.

> pretending you're unaware of how abnormally impartial your group is

I never claimed my social circle was impartial at all, let alone "abnormally impartial". You're reading things into my statements that aren't there.

She does not specifially address this scenario. I offered the link as a general dive into the evidence behind Dark Matter as it relates to lensing.

I regret that now.
Added to that, creatine could influence how close you feel to failure.
I'd like to see some data, for participants training until failure. That would still be somewhat subjective, but i'd argue, less so.
I'm not sure if this is really surprising to anyone... FB has a history of quietly, and sometimes loudly suppressing voices, content and views. For a long while it was conservatives, libertarians, etc. Now, it seems to be anyone expressing anything against the current establishment.
I had never heard of Unitree (Chinese robotics company) before today. A lot of their videos look like CGI but apparently the product is real.

What stuck with me the most browsing their website on the G1 model was seeing "Price from $16k"

Now I'm not sure if these are actually purchasable or what the value would be, but it's my first time seeing an actual normal-ish price attached to a humanoid robot that seems to be for sale.

With the rate of advancement we're seeing across the board, it honestly feels like people will have robot assistants at home much sooner than I thought.
Many years ago a roommate and I had an HPUX machine running IE on HPUX just so we could forward X session to our FreeBSD and Linux desktops and not have to use our Windows machine for anything other than PC games.
I would say as I've gotten older, I've actually tried to be a little more grounded in my beliefs. Our political world is so crazy, that I think sometimes, it can even be hard being committed to basic kindergarten morality. "Look at all these bad people doing bad things and being successful, maybe I should do bad things to be more successful" is a challenge to your viewpoints that is worth cutting off at the roots.
Your example of personal family photos is in no way comparable to storing terabytes of essentially unindexed data for which one has no detailed knowledge about, under the notion that the government is somehow lighting a match to everything, and they're going to save it.

The government doesn't delete anything. It might be moved or inaccessible to the public but that data is somewhere in perpetuity.

It's one of the most deranged larps I've ever seen, then they pat each other on the back on BlueSky, desperately wanting to be a part of something.

These people envision themselves as folk heroes when what they really need to do is go outside and touch grass.
Show HN: Screen.garden – multiplayer, sync, and web access for Obsidian
Hi HN! We built a SaaS platform to do what we've always wanted and have a Google Docs-like experience without leaving Obsidian. In the process we found a way to enable web access and get non-markdown file sync, too.

There's a one-week free trial if you're interested in trying it out, and I'm happy to answer questions about CRDTs, Elixir, or the other backing tech, too.
Libvips for the browser and Node.js, compiled to WebAssembly with Emscripten
Despite an upcharge, there was virtually no inventory and the regular priced versions won't launch until tomorrow (probably). Lots of people with orders weren't able to take delivery in March. Model Y was clearly supply constrained for the quarter.
I actually totally get this and think it's totally fair to be in a tribe (I say this in the piece), this is less about how people vote and more about how they discuss issues

Only time I have issue is when a view is presented as truth-seeking instead of tribal

But agreed, our political system is setup this way
By 2015 1 million people had fled the occupied territory and taken refuge in Russia.
We literally build modern models out of RLHF finetuning; the response styles that people like/engage with/approve the most are what the models generate.
Maybe only on surfaces. Lighting has become very colorful.

Look at modern Asian cities. Beijing is rather grey in daytime, but at night, there's colored lighting. Shenzhen, where LEDs are made, has reached insane levels of lighting effects at night. Not only do most of the skyscrapers have animated lighting effects, the effects are coordinated across the whole downtown area. Then there are frequent drone shows.

American cars are now coming stock with lighting effects previously seen on lowriders.
The effect is the same — the comment becomes unreadable.
OTOH, I am the kind of person who feels great joy in discovering that I have been wrong about something, I have learned something better, and I have deepened my understanding. It could be about anything. Challenging my viewpoints is very enjoyable.

It surprises me that most people don't seem to feel that way and I struggle to understand why. Apparently, people often feel angry and alienated by the truth. I think that never makes sense, but I've learned to accept that people simply feel threatened by the truth sometimes and I can't usually convince them otherwise.
Since you've continued to use HN primarily for political battle after we asked you to stop, I've banned the account.

The Memory Safety Continuum
> According to major auto paint suppliers, more than 80% of new cars are now grayscale. Black, white, gray, and silver dominate the roads. Reds, blues, and greens in auto production are increasingly rare.

This is biased data: when cars that are not white or black cost 1000 of euros more from the factory, and custom non-preselected colors even more, then people tend to but the cheap colors.
Especially when they are corporate lease cars and the corporation doesn’t care about the color.

If car companies want more color, do not charge for it.
Thanks, makes a lot more sense now, I guess if Vcc was lower the effect would be more pronounced if anything, never really considered this as an attack vector, but looking online now it seems to well established, I'm surprised Microchip engineers didn't pick it up.
I noticed that the author put their email address clearly at the very
top of the article. At least they eat their own dogfood.

However, the problem is the great many excellent online writers do
everything they can to make themselves hard to contact. Worst of all
are those professional writers who work for major publications. Their
interaction model is sniping from bushes on the hillside rather than
deigning to descend amongst the filthy masses and speak face to face
as a peer.

Congrats Tom. I wonder if a particular model could be used as a baseline for these values or if they are already doing that to check first level prior to a human in the loop? I myself have been using AI for this purpose and have found it getting pretty good. I know its not a replacement for thoughtful moderation however, a tailored model for HN would also promote the tradition of HN in terms of having it not just be about who is there and have it more trained on its best practices to promote consistency, possibly as an aid.
I get why people think this, but the comments of the protestors make it clear that this wouldn't help. They'd keep going for as long as he's a shareholder, as the intent is to personally hurt his financial returns.

Theoretically you could do this in Linux by calling /usr/bin/sl or whatever - but since various distros put binaries in different places, that would probably cause more problems than it could solve.
