>I don't understand the problem with this... Not wanting to kill unborn life

The people in question have zero scientific understanding of what's entailed here which leads to states like Texas where doctors let pregnant women die rather than risk being charged by the Christian Nationalist state.

These issues are nuanced and complex and require actual understanding rather than short political quips and people yelling "of course it's simple".
Writing an LLM Eval with Vercel's AI SDK and Vitest
Recently we launched Xata Agent, an open-source AI agent which helps diagnose issues and suggest optimizations for PostgreSQL databases.

To make sure that Xata Agent still works well after modifying a prompt or switching LLM models we decided to test it with an Eval. In this blog, we'll explain how we used Vercel's AI SDK and Vitest to build an Eval in TypeScript.
They wanted it because at the launch until 2018 it was basically free because of all the tax incentives. You got the following benefits (Netherlands):

Model-S was about 85K excluding VAT (21%) for the plain version

Added tax incentives of 36% MIA
Added tax incentives of 28% KIA
Accelerated depreciation of 75% in the first year VAMIL
Free parking in the cities (normal hourly rate 5 - 7.50/hr)
More/better parking options
A free charger in front of your house regardless where (basically your private parking spot until maybe 4 years ago).
0 BPM tax (can be up to 40% of the price)
0 road tax (could be anywhere from 80-150 per month for type of car)
0 personal fiscal penalties of 25% of the new value of the car, including VAT (which would be a virtual 26K/year extra salary. At 51% tax that's about 1000 per month AFTER taxes)

The 85K car resulted in 90K deductibles in the first year.

The 85K car, including everything was cheaper to drive / own than a FREE car.

Almost all of that stopped in 2022, and what do you know? People stopped buying. THIS is politics. Setting policies which drive behavior.

The government "decides" what you will want to buy / drive / etc.
Most of them don't value hard science either.
DAC: Discretionary Access Control: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discretionary_access_control :

> The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject (unless restrained by mandatory access control).

Which permissions and authorizations can be delegated?

DAC is the out of the box SELinux configuration for most Linux distros; some processes are confined, but if the process executable does not have the necessary extended filesystem attribute labels the process runs unconfined; default allow all.

You can see which processes are confined with SELinux contexts with `ps -Z`.

MAC is default deny all;

The Matrix also had a technical reason/glitch that pushed them earlier in the process to pursue the narrative reason. (Per some of the commentary, the early effects work they were doing, such as processing the first versions of "bullet time", were very susceptible to green/blue screen leakage so they leaned into that, and used it to decide which shots should use green or blue screens and let that leakage drive other parts of the color grading, including introduce "fake" color leaks onto set work that didn't use chroma keying [green/blue screens].)

I'm sorry, what? Federal income taxes have not been eliminated. Trump can't even do that; Congress would have to, and they won't.

The federal government currently collects on the order of $2.5 trillion in income taxes. These tariffs would only generate $500 billion of federal revenue. But in reality they'll generate less, due to any amount of second-order effects where less stuff is imported due to higher costs. It's very myopic to only look at the household finances and not have anything to say about a proposed loss of $2 trillion of federal revenue.

With allies like you in this discussion thread, who needs enemies?

When I was a kid Santa Cruz's Highway 1 had all these bushes with flowers, and lots of ice plant. It's now asphaul, concrete, road debris. The flowers were never distracting and I actually much preferred the drive in the past. When I go back today it's just grey and dreary, not 'focus enabling'.

From time to time I dip my toe in and try new things, but as productive as I can get with Astro, the illusion vanishes as soon as I have to understand any of the plumbing.

Fortunately, I can still party like it’s 1999 just fine: just yesterday, I worked on a janky brutalist web app (the same way I did back in 2002, cribbing from the O’Reilly “Dynamic HTML: the Definite Reference”) and “deployed” it with rsync to pico.sh. It’s practically unstyled and I didn’t even use jquery, but it works.

They shamefully don't care about security and privacy because you can't get anti privacy capabilities working to your satisfaction.

You apparently could have lead with a lot of valid complaints but your 'shame' isn't really consistent with what you actually want.
Author here, good point, i didn't go into data migrations. The counter point is that migration files won't work well for anything but smallest tables. If you have a relatively large table, you likely end up batching updates anyway ta avoid excessive locking.

"To me, not giving your Tailscale implementation any way for the user to understand or veto what the control server is instructing the clients to do while also not auditing your servers code at all sure seems daring..."

This statement sugggests that publishing the Headscale control server source code is not enough to allow the user to "understand or veto what the control server is instructing the clients to do".

If using the Headscale control server, the user can "understand or veto" anything "the control server is instructing the clients to do". This may be accomplished by reading, editing and compiling the source code.

If using the Tailscale control server, the user can only "understand or veto what the control server is instruction the clients to do" to the extent that the Tailscale company permits. The user is prohibited from editing or compiling the source code.

Not all users want the option to read, edit and compile third party software that they use. Some users may be comfortable relying on the ongoing assurances of companies funded by Silicon Valley VC. For those users that want the option of 100% open source projects, not dependent on venture capital, Headscale can be useful.

The author of Headscale calls the Tailscale coordination server "essentially a shared dropbox for public keys".

im a nuance enjoyer when it comes to politics too but i wouldnt say i know adequate amounts about economics, politics, game theory, etc. i might know slightly more about my preferred fields than the average person, but im still woefully incompetent. so im always hesitant to lay judgement. especially because politics is such a complex system. its difficult to make the probabilities the author speaks of unless you make a bunch of assumptions. which is terrible and miserable. things get even worse when you think about things at a global vs local political level, which are just completely different in dynamics.

i hate rationalists because it's like. you cant logically reason your way out of this one buddy. the system is far too complex for rationalism to work. sometimes its easier to just align with the groupthink and focus on other things you deem more important. hanging out with friends vs spending all day in your room teaching yourself about tribal relations in central africa so you can have your own unique opinions on us foreign policy.

Show HN: Kodus – An open source AI code review engine (AST and LLW, less noise)
Hey HN,

LLMs alone aren't great at reviewing code—they produce noisy, irrelevant, or even incorrect comments far too often.

We open-sourced Kodus, our AI-powered code review platform built specifically to address this problem. Instead of relying purely on GPT models, we use a deterministic, AST-based rule engine to provide precise, structured context directly to the LLM. The result is a dramatically reduced noise rate, fewer hallucinations, and comments you can actually trust (and merge).

A quick rundown:

- Hybrid approach (AST + GPT): Precise, deterministic context feeding into the LLM reduces false positives and irrelevant suggestions.

- Self-hostable & Open Source: Run on your own infra/cloud—no code leakage, no data privacy concerns.

- Customizable rule engine: Easily define and share context-specific review rules across your team and community.

We'd love your feedback, suggestions, or criticisms—especially if you've experienced frustration with purely GPT-based review tools.

The “Liberation Day” tariffs aren’t random—they’re step one in a broader strategy called the Mar-a-Lago Accord (yes, named after Trump’s resort). Here’s the playbook from Stephen Miran’s framework and what’s likely next:

The Mar-a-Lago Accord Framework

1. Tariffs as Leverage

• Impose tariffs to force trading partners to revalue their currencies downward (making U.S. exports cheaper globally).

• Example: The “reciprocal” tariffs target countries with trade surpluses (China, EU) to pressure concessions.

2. Currency Realignment

• Weaken the dollar to boost U.S. manufacturing (counteracting its “overvaluation”).

• Miran argues a weaker dollar would make imports pricier and exports more competitive.

3. Debt Restructuring

• Swap existing U.S. Treasury debt into 100-year “century bonds” to reduce interest payments.

• Foreign holders (like China/Japan) would “voluntarily” accept this to maintain U.S. security ties.

4. Sovereign Wealth Fund

• Use tariff revenue to create a fund buying foreign currencies, artificially depressing the dollar.

• (Not implemented yet—still theoretical.)

Where “Liberation Day” Fits?

—> You are here | Step 1 <—

The 10% baseline tariff + “reciprocal” rates (up to 50%) kickstart Miran’s plan by:

- • Generating revenue ($300B+/year) to fund future steps.

- • Forcing allies/adversaries to negotiate (or face higher costs).

- • Goal: Create chaos to pressure partners into accepting dollar devaluation and debt swaps.

What’s Next (If the Playbook Holds)?

1. The ̶C̶l̶o̶n̶e̶ Currency Wars

Expect Trump to accuse China/EU of “currency manipulation” to justify further dollar interventions.

2. Debt Shakeup

Pressure foreign Treasury holders (like Japan) to swap debt for century bonds. If they refuse? More tariffs.

3. Sector-Specific Tariffs

Pharma, lumber, and tech tariffs are likely next to “protect” U.S. industries.

4. Retaliation Escalation

Allies like Canada/EU will counter with tariffs, risking global recession.

The Perils Lying Ahead (Miran’s paper admits risks)

Miran’s paper admits risks:

• Tariffs might strengthen the dollar short-term (investors flock to USD safety), undermining manufacturing goals.

• Debt restructuring could trigger a Treasury sell-off, spiking interest rates.

Bottom line: “Liberation Day” is phase one of a high-risk plan. Success depends on whether trading partners blink first.

If we don't do it, someone else will.
I think entrenchment is a description of both sides, has neither I really willing to budge. I think the critical I think the critical criteria is how much you have to deal with it at all. Is it an interesting conversation that you can have once in awhile, or something that gets inserted into every conversation.

I think the civil war is interesting and nuanced topic to interrogate once in awhile, and can usually find some points of agreement with most people.

The legal, moral, and philosophical questions around it are fascinating. For example, how do you reconcile people's right to self-determination with a desire to carry out abhorrent actions. Historically speaking, the civil war and failures of reconstruction are probably the single most defining aspect of modern American political life.

Great breakdown of MCP's promise vs. reality
For some things that's true. For others it is not, or at least not enough to make up for the difference. For example, "housing" might cost less, but the definition of housing might be different. Even if we adjust the standards and built the exact same thing, it would be cheaper, but likely still out of reach for the average person in the poorer market.

>The F-35 jet will cost over $1.5 Trillion, doesn't work and won't be used

You've bought literal Russian propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

The F35 is an incredible piece of technology.

Do you remember infamous articles saying it couldn't dogfight? Not only were those stupid propaganda (you can't dogfight at 100km engagement ranges), all the people repeating them seemed to miss the comment by the older aircraft pilot that the radar assisted gunsight on their gen 4 fighter could not track the F35!, not even at knife fighting range. Go lookup how good gunnery was in WW2 if you want to understand how hilariously bad that is for gen 4 fighters.

The F35 is pricey to run, $40k an hour, but so was the F14, which is correctly understood to be a high tech masterpiece, a tech platform, and one of the best aircraft ever made.

We've already built 1000s of them, and they are already being used today. Israel's attack on Iran that showed just how impotent soviet era air defenses are was conducted with f35s.

"Israel used more than 100 aircraft, carrying fewer than 100 munitions, and with no aircraft getting within 100 miles of the target in the first wave, and that took down nearly the entirety of Iran's air-defense system,"

It's a very impressive machine, that everyone wants, and China is really rushing to build something competitive.

>There are nearly 1,000 BILLIONAIRES in the US, the debt is their problem, they can pay more taxes until it's down to a number you like.

150% correct. The USA is stupidly wealthy on the world stage. We don't have to play pretend poverty, if we would tax the people who have hoarded all that wealth.

Burnt by high prices, people trusted him. Sure, he could be called "smart" to con the voters, but still too DUMB to understand how the government works especially in the US. Every day, he picks a new fight with someone :-)

>People receiving UBI will have any additional income they generate deducted from UBI. This is human nature.

Putting “this is human nature” as the full stop explanation tells me nothing and convinces me of nothing. How is Alaska’s UBI deducted based on income? That just isn’t how UBI works and not what UBI is. Same with your statement that it will be for “only certain approved things” which is not UBI, but means tested assistance, which as I said, comes with huge monetary waste in paying people to define what is “approved”, developing mechanisms on how it will be tracked, on businesses to implement systems, and on people to monitor compliance.

UBI is basically a tax credit. If you are poor enough that you pay less taxes than the UBI, you get a tax rebate. If you pay more, you get the money in the form of less tax obligation. The US already spends $1.101 trillion on welfare programs, a significant portion of that is wasted in the massive bureaucracy needed to oversee means tested assistance. If it was a simple tax credit with no overhead, that would be over $4,000 per adult per year.

“those on UBI” shows that you are not talking about UBI, because UBI is universal. Elon Musk would get UBI and pay $12,000 less on his taxes, and the single mother working at McDonalds would also pay $12,000 less on her taxes, likely resulting in a tax rebate check. To reiterate, it is literally just a dividend paid for being a “shareholder” of the company that is the United Sates (or whatever other country).
Oh I was assuming they just asked an LLM but this sounds plausible too.
You can virtiualize Windows on Linux too while you can't play Steam Deck games on Switch, so they're not comparable.
The article does not say that....

The gist is that Republicans are going to blame the Fed of playing politics when I terest rates are lowered, and blame Biden for when interest rates rose. Rates go up, Bidens fault, rates go down - politics. That is the republican talking point. The article ascribes no direct motive but says the reduction in rates is due to the fed claiming victory on inflation. Which, was wel down and approaching target when the fed started cutting rates.

It is ironic that an article that says (paraphrasing) "here is what the political talking point would be", be used as __evidence__ for that talking point.
> The alignment community now starts another research agenda, to interrogate AIs about AI-safety-related topics. For example, they literally ask the models “so, are you aligned?

But it’s Diplomacy, they are literally trained to lie, so no one cares.)
