Maybe game consoles will come down the road. But I'm doubtful. These consoles are ephemeral compared to the IOS platform and aren't thought of as used for general computing (even if the hardware can be used as such).

All the console manufacturers are also software developers, so I fear pushing too hard will simply mean the end of dedicated game consoles instead of the freedom of them
I don't think they're arguing in a good faith with you.

"“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
The way that it works is that if you want access to the benchmarks you need to provide your data.

But in general there is no way to verify whether the consulting company is lying or not. They have been caught pants down multiple times recently.
Even if the tariffs work as desired, they result in persistently higher prices. Unless you're expecting American laborers to work for less than literal Chinese robots, I guess.
Running a 2009 Mac Mini in a business setting. Connected to a barcode scanner within a local python development environment and communicates over a wired network. Runs 24/7 with barely an issue.
Not sure about that, although having those fixed short traces probably helps with speed, considering the stupid DDR5 negotiation on boot.

The real reason however is that going up SoC SKUs at apple gives you more memory channels. Those bandwidth increases you see in specs are because of that, not because the memory is soldered.
Just within the US you could ask why wealthy people aren't all moving to states without any income taxes more frequently. Plenty do move to certain low tax states but network effects, infrastructure, stability, well-understood regulations, etc., seem to often play a bigger role.
No worries. I think Make vs Ninja is a whole another discussion but how it relates to this project is that Ninja has less features than Make (e.g. no globs, etc) which makes it attractive as a simple build graph format.

Nix provides the toolchain and dependency management (like where boost is from), as well as ability to remotely execute it which makes it attractive to scale out large builds like a `-j 999`. Nix also lets you do things like patching boost and then recompiling both boost and the downstreams (incrementally and with early cut-off if using nix-ninja) all in one build graph.

All in all, probably not useful if you're not already needing features from Nix. But if you are, this should speed up your builds by a significant amount.
Unconvincing at best, but most likely not even true.
This comment doesn’t make sense… You can’t change your opinion into a fact just via reptition.
There are many HN users who are opposed to LLM.

Some of them are fundamentalists, and no amount of reason will reach them (read the comments on the Ghibli-style images to get a sample), others are opposed for very self-interested reasons: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his income depends on his not understanding it"

Yesterday, I vibe coded a DNS server in python from scratch in half a day (!) and it works extremely well after spending a few minutes on manually improving a specific edge case for reverse DNS using AAAA records: dig -x requests use the exploded form in the ip6.arpa, while I think it's better for the AAAA entries to keep using the compressed form, and I wanted to generate the reverse algorithmically from AAAA and A records.

Just ignore them, as your approach is sound: I have experience creating, curating and improving datasets with LLMs.

Like vibe coding, it works very well if you know what you are doing: here, you just have to use statistics to leverage the non deterministic aspects of AI in your favor.

Good luck with your app!
How is it protectionist if the European companies also pay it?

You are arguing about rules that apply to all companies competing in Europe and then extrapolating that to say that “American companies competing in Europe” are mistreated.
No, it's worse. Value-added resellers (VARs) and distributors will not pass on tariffs directly. Most retailers double wholesale prices from distributors.. the increases will be an effective price of ~100% once megacorps' pre-staged stocks are depleted. Prices on random things will then spike to where demand will fall through the floor on everything except where there is inelastic demand on essentials. Layoffs and stagflation are just the beginning. And it takes 2-3 years to setup new manufacturing lines and the vertical parts of the supply chain have major upstream unavailability problems without comparable or price-effective options compared to CN.
It’s a common architecture antipattern to try to run non-interactive tasks on the same resources as interactive ones.

Even if you avoid the initial problems by punching the CPU priority through the floor, someone will eventually introduce a bug/feature that increases IOPS or memory usage drastically, or finds some other way to accomplish priority inversion. You will think you can deploy this code any time you want and discover that you can’t.

And having survived the first and second crises, you will arrive at the final one: a low-priority process is not a no-priority process. People will expect it to be completed “on time”. And as the other processes saturate the available resources via either code bloat or right sizing, now your background task isn’t completing the way people have come to expect it to complete. It stops being able to be “free” by parasitism and has to have its own hardware.
Why would tricks be needed? What about consumer rights, or such?
> "OpenBrain (the leading US AI project) builds AI agents that are good enough to dramatically accelerate their research. The humans, who up until very recently had been the best AI researchers on the planet, sit back and watch the AIs do their jobs, making better and better AI systems."

I'm not sure what gives the authors the confidence to predict such statements. Wishful thinking? Worst-case paranoia? I agree that such an outcome is possible, but on 2--3 year timelines? This would imply that the approach everyone is taking right now is the right approach and that there are no hidden conceptual roadblocks to achieving AGI/superintelligence from DFS-ing down this path.

All of the predictions seem to ignore the possibility of such barriers, or at most acknowledge the possibility but wave it away by appealing to the army of AI researchers and industry funding being allocated to this problem. IMO it is the onus of the proposers of such timelines to argue why there are no such barriers and that we will see predictable scaling in the 2--3 year horizon.
Work, raise kids, vote to let women die rather than remove an already-dead fetus--yeah, sorry, people dying does kinda matter to me, actually, and I don't think that's crazy or can be dismissed as "tribalism".
I have a kind of strict separation between home and work and I have since I started working remotely.

When I’m “at work” in my home office. I’m not to be disturbed. When I’m “off work” my computer is shut down until the next day and I get on with the rest of my life - which doesn’t involve computers.

That sets strict expectations from everyone in my home.
> If I start to bring up deregulation of building housing, there will be a strong immediate backlash by certain factions on the left.

I do suspect that if you what the deregulation actually meant to both left and right people you'd find two (probably overlapping) camps aligned on NIMBY and Housing prices go up as your largest groups.

Structural and safety engineers regardless of political affiliation will tell you why deregulation of some standards is a bad idea.
Offhand, I'm unaware of where to even look to get an easy to digest version of 'where tax dollars go'. Would the GAO make such a report? Something for Congress otherwise? Would there be a classified and an public version?

Even better would be a tool that, E.G. with your IRS filing number, shows how much 'you' paid in, breaks down where that went, and shows how 'you' compare to other areas.

Such tools and reports would cost money, but making them is practically an audit anyway which is a good use of resources in a bureaucracy (part of the self-calibration system).
Hey, thanks for the tutorial, I’ve been running my company and paying VAT for only 20 years, so finally I'll know how it works! But, kidding aside, your breakdown is fine in theory, but it misses the real world sting for a US exporter selling to Europe. US goods start outside the VAT system, no offsets, just raw costs. When they hit Europe, the importer slaps VAT on top, jacking up the price before it even gets moving. Local producers? They’re already in the game, balancing input VAT with what they collect. So from the US point of view it is virtually indistinguishable from tariff, making US stuff pricier than the local competition.

Take two producers - one US, one local - selling their identical products at $100. US costs are $80, all out of pocket, no VAT relief, US producer's profit is $20 after the importer adds 20% VAT ($20) to reach $120.

The local guy’s $80 includes 20% VAT on inputs ($13.33 reclaimable), dropping his real cost to $66.67. He sells for $100, collects $20 VAT (total $120), then pays the government $6.67 ($20 collected minus $13.33 reclaimed). His profit’s $26.67 - still 33% more than US's $20, thanks to VAT offsets.

You have to agree that this is a very tangible advantage for local companies, no?
Look at what you wrote. Nothing you stated had any relevance to neoliberalism. I talked about neoliberalism eliminating poverty, and you brought up invasion.

Neoliberalism is what I say it is, not what YOU say it is.

Additionally, you have yet to answer why you believe poverty shouldn’t be eliminated.
Your other comment is too deep in the thread for me to reply, but just wanted to say I appreciate you checking out the project and commenting, and appreciate the many years of effort you've undertaken in this space. How OpenNutrition can work with OpenFoodFacts is something I have thought a lot about (I think MacroFactor set a great example) and it's certainly something I'll consider moving forward.
It's not a weird take if you reasonably assumed that OP meant: "they don't have the ability to afford the same value of products from the US." Which makes total sense because their income per capita is only a fraction of that of the US.
That’s not the point of this fork.

And “unclean fork” is such an unnecessary and unprofessional comment.

There’s an entire industry of stealth browser technologies out there that this falls under.
> If someone gets hired after cheating on an interview, they'll presumably not be as good as expected.

there are people that are entirely clueless and then there are people that are solid engineers who aren't willing to spend months prepping by leetcoding. there are plenty who can cheat, and still do fine day to day once hired.

either way, even if the people that cheated don't have enough skill to keep the job, they've already taken that job and pushed out someone else that's legitimate. then they have to pip them, fire them, and reopen that role. that's months wasted and the original qualified candidate is long gone.
Yeah, my theory on this has always been that a lot of programming efficiency gains have been the ability to unambiguously define behavior, which mostly comes from drastically restricting the possible states and inputs a program can achieve.

The states and inputs that lawyers have to deal with tend to much more vague and imprecise (which is expected if you're dealing with human behavior and not text or some other encodeable input) and so have to rely on inherently ambiguous phrases like "reasonable" and "without undue delay."
The average Joe with an io domain is probably a developer happier to code up a migration than be extorted so dearly.

Thank you, HN.
You’re talking about static typing, the opposite of which is dynamic typing. User hamstergene is talking about weak vs. strong typing, which is another thing entirely. Python has always been strongly typed, while JavaScript is weakly typed. Many early languages with dynamic types also experimented with weak typing, but this is now, as hamstergene points out, considered a bad idea, and virtually all modern languages, including Python, are strongly typed.
Scrolling through that landing page felt a lot smoother & snappier than I would've expected for a page looking like that.
For one thing, C3 thankfully understands that there are more mathemathical types people are interested in than just ints and reals, for example vectors: https://c3-lang.org/language-common/vectors/

Zig has SIMD vectors, but I frequently need 3D vectors, and refuse to use things like vec3_add(vec3_mul(a, 2), b) etc since I mainly develop 3D graphics software.
The list of dropped components is quite large. The cryptsetup, cryptenroll, unified kernel images, kernel signing and systemd-boot work nicely together.

I think Systemd has a view that those things should reliably work together. I do not fancy a revival of the past where the user has to cobble a mesh of hopefully compatible libraries to achieve the same, taking weeks to study the Arch manual and resolving tons of gotcha's, all to be broken by next week's update.

The integration of all this stuff is now actively under test and maintenance with systemd.

And yes, the mentioned services also have an impact on the scope of service managing. Because if you have a unit that depends on a disk that needs to be unencrypted, this has to be resolved somehow in the right time.

I personally have had no need for systemd-resolved, but I think for *desktop* the list of droppable components is not large.

So maybe we should first have a conversation about the *desktop* vs *container-os* purpose?
And the reason for this is he "forgot to drive after not driving for a few months". Which is weird because I haven't driven for years but I can still instantly do it when I need to, or instantly ride a bike after years of not cycling.
It's only inflation if you also double your earnings (tongue in cheek, this takes obviously place on a macro scale). This is about balancing costs. Globalization created environmental externalities that are not sustainable. While you enjoy the $30 pair of shoes, the people by the factories suffer.
Almost nobody importing goods is really checking the supply chains properly enough. We have pretty strict EPA laws here that are a tariff in their own way.
That doesn't solve the problem of TLS handshake fingerprinting, which is the whole point of this project.
Eventually you have to trust someone anyway.

If you don't trust Gmail, then you have to use Proton to host it, don't trust them then your on AWS, don't trust them you still need you ISP to play nice with a home server.

Unless you want to raise your own carrier pigeons...
At my company, we were just discussing how strange it was that MCP only worked locally. It'd be interesting to see this in action.

What do they expect to happen if the heavy tariffs either move the manufacturing of those products to the US or make the imports expensive enough that consumers switch to domestic manufacturers?

That tanks the revenue from the tariffs, which would make them an ineffective replacement for income tax.
If there was a real labor demand shortage wouldn't there be actual wage growth though ?
You should really read the "Why" section of the README before jumping to conclusions:

```
some web services use the TLS and HTTP handshakes to fingerprint which client is accessing them, and then present different content for different clients. These methods are known as TLS fingerprinting and HTTP/2 fingerprinting respectively. Their widespread use has led to the web becoming less open, less private and much more restrictive towards specific web clients

With the modified curl in this repository, the TLS and HTTP handshakes look exactly like those of a real browser.
```

For example, this will get you past Cloudflare's bot detection.
Thanks for the feedback! It is indeed a PoC that I'm hacking together after work.

I've been working hard to get the quality up. And now that I have some paid users for the large languages I can also auto-transcribe high quality channels. Main reason for the poor exercises (especially for German) was that I initially picked some poor channels and I was being cheap.

I've updated the german channel and that should hopefully result in a better experience.
Not sure I'm following. Isn't that supply and demand?
Letting billionaires hoard all the money has gotten us to where we are today. It seems worse than government mismanaging the budget.
Was that concern also there in the 50s and 60s when the wealthy was taxed at a substantial higher rate? I don't believe so.
It all seems to point at the failure of trickled down economics of Reagan.
The very idea of “least worst” is very subjective. In their eyes, if they disagree with you, it is who’s values should not be trusted.
I guess I can interpret the strongest form of your argument to suggest that resources and markets have a specific level of economically relevant supply at any specific time, which I suppose is an empirical claim that’s true. I feel like recent days’ trade policy earthquakes might operate along a similar line of reasoning: there’s only so much, “they’ve” been getting better off, which means they’ve been “taking” from the US, so the US is taking back.

In the same sense it’s true that there are only so many bushels of seed corn left after the winter. At the moment, we can squabble over how to divide the fixed supply. I could take all the corn, eat half, keep the rest for myself to plant this season. Or, if I’ve already got enough to plant all my land, and you’ve got more land and nothing else to do, I could invest some of my leftover corn with you and we can all have double the harvest in a few months… when the supply will have dramatically expanded, assuming I don’t treat it as a zero-sum game right now. Or I could focus on “winning” right now, and we’ll both be poorer after the harvest than we would have been otherwise.

While I agree that you could frame most any political issue in zero-sum terms, I feel like the blind spot is the same: it tallies the score based on assumptions fixed in time, and it takes a pessimistic view of cooperative potential, of humans’ power to influence the constraints themselves.
The README indicates that this fork is compiled with nss (from Firefox) and BoringSSL (from Chromium) to resist fingerprinting based on the TLS lib. CLI flags won't do that.
No one is suggesting only taxing billionaires to the tune of netting solely an additional $1B, that seems farcical.
I notice he seems to have a GPT-level understanding of issues, offering a thin justifications of his viewpoints, and then just completely ignoring any substantive discussions and instead only engaging in threads where he is "winning".

IIRC he is a lawyer, a field where strategically deploying intellectual dishonesty is particularly advantageous.
Phase out Facebook, Instagram and Xitter, 200% tax on Google ads, subsidize local cloud providers, phase out Amazon.

As somebody that occasionally studies pure math books those can be very, very light on regular English.
About every six to ten years I look in on the state of the art on making artificial human languages in which one cannot be misunderstood.

If we ever invent a human language where laws can be laid out in a manner that the meaning is clear, then we will have opened a door on programming languages that are correct. I don’t know that a programmer will invent this first. We might, but it won’t look that natural.
Sorry it is a bit hidden. You should press 'enter' on the keyboard.
VR experiment reveals how pain and fear weaken sense of body ownership
IMHO there's something to be said for innovative, paradigm-defining[1] thinkers being more likely to accept frameworks that we in hindsight recognize as definitively disproven. Not to say alchemy was exactly an open question in Newtonian Britain, ofc -- but certainly not as resoundingly disproven as it is post-Darwin & Lavoisier

It is fun! The person you're responding to isn't wrong; front end is a little horrifying. But it's kind of like a jungle in that the scary beasts, swamps, poisonous plants, and the harsh elements are accompanied by incredible opportunities to experiment, explore, discover, and appreciate beauty.

Backend presents some awesome opportunities too, but I absolutely love weird problems like the one you're solving here. It's in the realm of simultaneously necessary and totally unnecessary. This is where interesting stuff happens!
Love that the source is in Javascript, with type annotations. The compiled files in the /lib folder are also much smaller than I expected. I will likely be using this.
