wow
I have been using mermaid with gpt... describing the diagram I want and getting the syntax, then copy pasting it into the repl. I also wanted to investigate using marp for quickly coding up power point slides. But I regularly ran into issues with customising styles and documentation around html so I gave up on that
Supply side economics also known to economists as economics. But yes, this whole movement is basically just democrats who are also interested in economics.
> he last thing society needs is more stuff

The only people who say this are incredibly privileged trust fund leftists. Everyone else knows that more stuff=better life all else equal. Maybe someday that'll change but for now most people are still resource constrained. How did this become a popular take among the dem thought makers?
I don’t discuss politics with anyone anymore. Just wish I had made that decision 30 years ago…
I definitely struggle with this, and I feel like option 2 is the way to go, but just thinking about doing that is daunting, and seems like there is little hope that you can bring about any change.
I guess one thing we all can do is strive to be better to each other in our relationships, and make the world better in just small way.
Strong disagree here... While there are definitely those that will bury some opinions with downvotes, there are others that will upvote. Conservative, Libertarian, Progressive, Liberal and even outright Communist views get expressed in varying comments and that's just political leanings.

I only really recognize this because I'll be actively reading/replying sometimes and see comments go +/- 2-3 up or down votes back and forth on the same comment. While you may be at say -2, that's just the aggregate. I sometimes wish I could see the total up/down votes just out of curiosity.
In my experience the (now ancient) Sequences are not of much use in learning how to change your mind. With only a cursory background in psychology, his advice tends to consist of generic platitudes. Not much practical application.

I’d recommend a short course in mindfulness instead, at whatever point in the spectrum between science and mysticism you’re comfortable with.
I think you meant "DOES not know how to competently keep a grip on power would do"

(or maybe this is what you mean?)

Democrats were successfully tarred as being behind the Tiktok ban. Even though it was a pretty bipartisan ban, Trump came out loudly as opposing it and said "vote for me, I'll save Tiktok" and then he narrowly scraped by on election day. His razor thin victory is arguably because of that play.
I don't discuss friends with politicians either
> On the face of it, HN should be terrible. It's a forum owned an investment firm as promotion for their business.

I think it's at least as plausible that this is part of the magic that makes it good. HN is sufficiently "on the margin" that they don't have to do things like placate advertisers with their moderation policies. The mods like dang, tomhow and pg mostly care about HN as users rather than owners.

> It would be a good thing for the world if HN was spun out as a non-profit and maintained long-term.

That sounds good in theory... in practice it might be the beginning of the end. Once there's a non-profit behind it the non-profit has a mission of its own. Although I'm actually not sure of the legal status of HN right now, maybe it's already something like that.
Online or in person?
Hi, I'm excited. I'm really wondering if you'll do such an excellent job like dang is doing. This is a really special community, and now it's in your hands as well.
I don't think it's a coincidence, but it also doesn't necessarily undermine their utility. In fact, I think a lot of images that are also used in a mocking context get there because they wind up being overused and over applied, in part because they're actually really good.

Another example of an illustration I like that is somewhat derided is the classic equity vs equality cartoon with the boxes[1]. I say this in spite of the fact that I generally find myself identifying more with equality as a baseline, and the simple reason is it's a good illustration of the potential pitfalls of overindexing on equality.

IMO It's all in how you use them. It's hard to avoid that useful metaphors/analogies often become overused and cliche.

I'm 52. For me, there was a time when it was considered impolite to talk about sex, religion and politics. Then it became super fun when done with open/questioning/rational/critical minds, and a lot of progress in my own thinking was achieved from the usually non-threatening but lively debates and fights among friends and family for ideas. Then it shifted in the last ten or fifteen years. When social media started having friends of friends, the tribalism kicked in. It was explained very well in a talk between Maria Ressa and Jon Stewart. She is brilliant, and well worth listening to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsHoX9ZpA_M
Well, that is good, at least. It sounds like those are Located between your legs? Could you actually do a 0/0 (not that it would be advisable) but -could- you even make a call safety at decision height with those? Even if you wouldn’t, would you feel like you -could-?

I’d bet if there was an iPad with foreflight synthetic vision running in plain sight looking forward, that aircraft would still be flying. Bailing out is a matter of pilot confidence in the aircraft being flyable.

Still, if he did have an operational horizon, HSI, turn and bank, altimeter, VSI, and turbine temp /RPM that he had presumably been trained to fly the aircraft with, I’m probably going to have to come down on the side of “he abandoned a presumably airworthy aircraft.” I mean, in that case, he had a (huge,catastrophically) failed system and he failed to use the backup for that system.

I still think the app would be a hit among F35 pilots, even if only for ironic reasons and superstition lol. Probably some national security concerns there though, if you handled any location data at all. I mean, can fighter pilots even carry smartphones? Dr. Evil wants to know.
But I guess for prioritizing the happiness of the friend group, some amount of ignorance is needed if someone in the group is ultimately going to model the world on "they kill and deport or they don't" given enough information to make that declaration, and eventually a person on the other side is encountered?

I understand that some things can be more important than just having fun though, down to personal values.

"To be ignorant" sounds like a moral failing on its face, but I feel it is increasingly becoming required in some circumstances with the explosive amount of information available to subscribe to nowadays.
Long Gold, short USD, short Treasury.

That's not a great advertising slogan, unless the goal is to drive people who still possess their wits off their platform if they can still be deprogrammed before its too late.
Side note: the parent's entire argument boils down to this:

"Look at how hurt the teacher would be by being fired, you are a bad person for suggesting that.

Setting aside the Ad-Hominems¹ like "Are you better than the teacher"?,
this is a textbook example of the logical fallacy known as Appeal to Emotion².

Which is delightfully ironic given the numerous people accusing you of being overly emotional in the point you're making that a teacher who willfully breached trust and abused their authority over children shouldn't have such authority.

This says much more about the people criticizing you than they realize.

For situations where you have no control over the NAT then this is indeed the case.

Though, 9front lets you run your own NAT giving you an Internet facing 9 machine you can serve a TLS tunnel from directly. So the server side is solved making the client side NAT a non issue.

Mermaid is fantastic as a portable I/O format for LLM context. I spent some time discussing entity relationships with an LLM recently, and had it produce a Mermaid diagram to wrap up the conversation.

Once you have the diagram code, you can use that as an artifact for new LLM chats related to databases, APIs, etc.

I'm not sure what the history of mermaidchart.com specifically is, but I'm guessing it's new since the ER diagram docs are marked as "coming soon":

> having the opinion

What I see a lot of is this:

User posts "$opinion $generalization $snark $dismissal $adhominem".

User gets down voted or flagged. User complains that downvotes are for expressing $opinion and that $opinion is not allowed on this site!

But we can all see the other things in their post that probably brought on most of the downvotes.
I agree that there is no likelihood that coffee snobs are gonna jump to yaupon tea. I mentioned this really just to point out that there is a native plant here in North America that produces caffeine so if one day we wake up and supplies of the real beans are short or interrupted for long periods we will have something totally free to brew up for a caffeine hit. If you're out camping in an area where yaupon grows wild you can always grab a few leaves, wash them and dry them until they're brown, crush them and boil some tea water. No need for a late night cup of coffee that could keep you too wired to rest when you can enjoy a simple cup of yaupon tea that won't leave you wired.

I drink a lot of coffee too. I enjoy the flavor and hanging around without a cup of coffee feels strange. Sometimes I just add some boiling water to the dust in the coffee cup, stir it up and see what happens. I've certainly had worse at more gas stations than I care to remember.
I'll provide an opposing viewpoint. In the last 10 years, I've lost friendships and family because people in my life have voted for candidates that stripped rights away from women, minorities, etc.

Having a vast difference between opinions is fine, but some of their decisions are fundamentally against my core beliefs and have done literal harm to many people I know.

For that reason, terminating family and friendships has been absolutely worth it for me.

Until we can live in a world where fundamental rights are protected and respected, we have no common ground, and it's pointless to tiptoe around these insanely harmful beliefs while maintaining a facade of friendship.
>These devices are flashed in factories in China and receive firmware updates over the air from China

The updates often come from US based FTP servers.

>Have you missed out on this new "AI" thing everyone is talking about?

Still need an intelligence officer to act on the data -- takes time.
I just try and imagine people having this debate in 1932 Germany.
That's interesting, how do you manage the color palette? Are all the colors bright or are just using one or two bright pieces as accents?
A lot of it boils down on dang being oversubscribed. And having some automations to help him
How do you avoid the pain of someone expressing a particularly hurtful political opinion (i.e. entire class of ppl should die) if you don't filter relationships by political beliefs?

I generally keep people's political opinions at arms length, as some relationships are worth the pain or lack of depth. But it has caused unforseen pain at times, and hurts when relations from different spheres interact negatively.
Can't wait to absolutely demolish your gma in p2p
He died, I'm fine with making an exception for it.
A polite well worded post that disagrees with the mainstream will indeed still exist, but it will be moderated to unreadably transparent and hidden by default. It’s not a great experience.

Meanwhile personal attacks and hyperbole regarding Elon Musk and Trump have become very common on HN.
Deep Learning for Cybersecurity: Can AI Outsmart Evolving Malware Threats?
The rate at which cyber crime has been on going and lots of damages worth trillions (projected to around $10.5 trillion as of 2025 ) is alarming. Since the old modern way of detecting this malware have failed us, making artificial intelligence look like a hanky-panky, it calls for concern to know how well does AI enhance malware detection. In this article, I will dive in to know better by exploring the potential power of AI in cyber security using my own research on deep learning-based malware detection as a case study.

Limits of Traditional Cybersecurity

There is indeed a pace where this traditional Cybersecurity could go. It relied so much on signature based detection and not just that these threats where definitely identified using predefined patterns in general which it is good for already known malware but it can’t handle the new threat. The cyber criminals upgraded using polymorphic malicious softwares to trespass which destroys hinders detection. At this point, there is need for AI and machine learning .

The transformation of malware detection using AI.

AI-powered Cybersecurity tools have lots of contribution to malware detection. It makes use of deep learning, behavior analysis etc just to detect threats before it spreads which signature-based systems can’t. AI can spot on zero-day threats, analyze large amounts of data and reduce false positive precisely. One good example that one could use is AI-driven fraud detection in the banking industry where transaction patents are been analyze by deep models .

My Research on AI for Malware Detection as case study.

As part of my Master’s thesis , I developed and tested a deep learning mode for malware detection and classification( “Malware Detection and Classification Using Different Neural Networks “). It benchmarked multiple AI models with an achievement accuracy of 93.94% which significantly outperformed traditional detection methods or techniques.

I found out that CNNs, RNNs and ANNs did outperform heuristic methods, machine learning enhances real-time cybersecurity defenses, AI models did adapt more better to the malware threats emerging.

The research has been presented in ProQuest digital data base , Mbaa international conference, etc making them accessible to scholars and professionals of cybersecurity worldwide.

Challenges and the Future of AI in Cybersecurity .

It’s good we also look at the challenges of AI-driven Cybersecurity. As it has advantages so it does have disadvantages.

Hackers can still look for a way to manipulate AI modes to bypass security.
Another thing to consider is cost. Maintaining a tight security might require more cost because deep learning models needs substantial resources.
The issue of privacy: Users privacy might be exposed using AI models trained on personal data.
In conclusion, AI is indeed shaping cybersecurity providing more adaptive and faster threat detection. My research pinpointed the potentially of using deep learning in enhancing malware detect accuracy. As threat stems to I create so does AI remain the best deal for cybersecurity.

What do you think on AI-driven Cybersecurity? We could discuss in the comment section!
Politics is more regional than any other single factor. Like religion.

You're highly unlikely to grow up Protestant in Israel just like you're highly unlikely to going to grow up with liberal views in Tennessee.

Second to geography is demographic. You're unlikely to support DEI if you're surrounded by 90% white people all the time, and you're unlikely to decry globalism after you've been exposed to large cities and dense population centers for a long time.
Further, I mute and unfollow aggressively any family or friends that just constantly post political news/rants etc from Facebook and other social media platforms.
I thought that way too (even having gone to tiling windows managers), but gnome is fine and way usable than macOS. The few applications where I use the menu still have it, and so far I’m only using one extension (for clipboard managememt).
In a way, iirc, it really is. It's as much a "I disagree" as it is "I don't like this". That said, I would like to see more people actually respond in addition to a downvote.

I don't think that's generally a function of the moderators though.
> Do you somehow think that less Ukrainians would die without our support?

1000% yes. Without our support the war would have been over, even with Russian incompetence, in a few weeks.

Best estimates place the number of dead in the 100's of thousands, that would have been in the thousands.
For the sake of exactitude, this was England - Argentine in Saint-Étienne (not Lyon, but Carlos managed both sites as they're not very far away), on June 30th 1998. As these were highly respected teams and a very disputed game (actually the score at the end of extra time was 2 - 2) the stakes were very high as there were literally billions of people watching the game live. Pressure was really strong... Fortunately I was used to and comfortable working in live broadcast conditions myself; Carlos not so much :)
Looks much better. The current map is a nightmare for readability, especially when you're squinting from a distance trying to read it inside a subway vehicle without encroaching on the personal space of someone sitting below it. For actual locations in relation to other points of interest, consult a general-purpose map, there are more options for that than there are readable and up-to-date alternative renderings of public transit network maps.
You leave the iron powder in the packets. No need to disperse it, and certainly not in the air.
yeah it's just a great image for making a bet that might fail imo (the miner one)

this reply nails it imo, some images just boil things down perfectly
It may be called the "brown era", but it had more to do with desaturated, monochrome palettes in general (to this article's point) and muddy textures.
Sample size of two, but when I went to Costa Rica and then China, I did not get the sense that color was going out of fashion in either place. Indeed it seemed jarring how cOLorFuL everything was. But after a week I got used to it.
Ambiguity is a feature for propaganda. If people project random hopes
and fears onto buzzwords that gets them talking and serves sales
well. In an imaginary world where people were highly educated and
journalists honest and specific, new advances would be taken-up
quickly by a small group of beneficiaries and everyone else would move
on. The idea of software "agents" is of course nothing new. "Buzz" -
AKA "the warm thrill of confusion and space-cadet glow" appeals
primarily to the idea that "this changes everything!". The smoke and
mirrors machine never sleeps.
Vomit inducing.

We don't know now what to curate for the future. We should preserve as much of everything we can - we don't know what will be important in 50, or 500 years.

Case in point: retrocomputing is my hobby. I buy, restore, preserve, and use old computers. Most of them are home computers, because business computers go directly from the office to the recycling facility or the landfill. Unless someone deliberately preserved, say, a Burroughs B-25 desktop, or the similar from Data General, they are gone.
Eurorack modular synthesis: Expert Sleepers Disting NT Gets C++ Support
Of interest to those of you who are in the intersection set of modular synth nerds and programmers....

I've been eyeing the new Disting NT since it was released. A move towards greater openness is another point in it's favor, though the idea of writing C++ in my "music time" is admittedly not the first thing that comes to mind when I want to do something creative.
Name-calling by commentators dehumanised the debates. I still don't understand why it is considered OK.

"They do it" should not be enough of a reason, but it affects youtube income for individuals, so let the market work, I guess?
/sarcasm
I disagree strongly with this. This is how we get into the state of political divisiveness that we are currently in. Discussing politics has always been a verboten topic with many families and friends, and now we are here where we think not talking about it is healthy.

Not discussing politics with friends is really indicative of the friendships you have. This is really an article about someone who has failed to discuss politics with "friends." As someone who routinely talks politics with friends (and we do NOT all agree with each other), it's a healthy experience. One where you can get a better understanding of people and their beliefs.

Stay in your bubble. But let's not pretend it's healthy or good.
My experience is that HN's Overton window is probably on average 15-20% larger than most forums. That's not uniform across all topics though. So if you skew toward a particular set of topics it may feel like a typical forum, or even in some ways more constrained.
And those who think they know history are condemned to repeat that phrase.

/s I agree with the proverb, just being cheeky
I do worry about seeing more of these posts, as a way of SV people - who bare a substantial burden of guilt for enabling the collective mess we’re in because the ad-tech/algorithm dollars were nice - collectively distancing themselves from facing said guilt.

No idea is this particular person is especially part of the problem, I’m just talking about general vibes.
It is a shame that people will downvote a thing that is expressing an honest opinion.

I can't really relate to the mindset of people who use downvoting as a 'I disagree' button.

I don't think this extends to the way that HN is moderated or run. It is worth looking at dang's posts every now and again to take in the job that he does and how patient he can be, even with antagonism aimed directly at HN or himself personally.

From time to time I also have a look at the histories of some of those antagonistic people. Frequently there are signs that their behaviour was not always like this. Recent posts might be outright abusive and sound like the postings of angry teenagers. A few years earlier they might have been posting reasonable discussions on their thesis topic or tutorials on some useful subjects. Keeping that in mind helps you realise that these are real people and there may be other things going on in their life.

I think there are some good things to learn from people who work with addicts. You can simultaneously challenge bad behaviour and be compassionate to the person who committed it. Similarly, this is why I'm not a fan of cancelling people or holding them forever accountable for past bad behaviour. If they recognise that their behaviour was bad and are endeavouring to not be that way again, I don't think permanent ostracism benefits anyone. If anything it restricts people to a community that amplifies their negative behaviour.
By interacting with the positive aspects of the person and ignoring or disengaging from the political opinions I don't like. If they want to kill jews or whatever, they have the right to that opinion, doesn't bother me so long as I'm not obliged to partake. I might engage the view but if neither of us are benefitting from the conversation there is no point in continuing down that particular path.
Nice. Does this do more than the "Show Video Controls by Default" extension? https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/show-video-controls...
> hope you are not comparing those things - one trying to overthrow democracy and killed people, the other vandalism that damages cars

One can compare things without equating them. In this case, yes, I am comparing them. (In the end, both have—to date—been nothing more than destruction of property and trespassing. Getting killed being an idiot isn’t the same as killing people.)
