I don't think my response changes for a colony.

I'm not saying ants/ant colonies don't exhibit intelligent/sophisticated behavior, but we don't have evidence to suggest they understand the higher order consequences associated with where they build their colonies.

For similar reasons, we don't consider it murder when an apex predator kills a human, but we do when it's another human.

> Your hands work on instinct too

The operation of many (if not most) of the systems in our bodies is instinctual and a mystery to us from a 1st person perspective, e.g. we don't actively beat our hearts, digest our food, etc. But continuing the last point, if you used your hands to cause harm to another human, "my hands work on instinct" isn't a reasonable defense. We still have agency and the ability to choose how we use our hands, and we're (generally) aware of the consequences of the actions we facilitate with our hands, even if we aren't directly aware of how our hands function.
There could also be genetic crossover events with things like avian flu though presumably we would have already seen it if it were there and flu might not have really been common until cities etc. where we were already modern humans.
That doesn't seem very ergonomic - especially for the use cases we have in mind.

Yes. I like being able to evaluate my sources. For programming or other technical topics, I'll rather read the original documentation, or third-party information whose credibility I can have some idea about.

For other topics, exact pedantic correctness may not always be as important, but I definitely do want to be able to evaluate my sources nevertheless, for other obvious reasons.

Search is actually pretty much what I want: a condensed list of possible sources of information for whatever I'm looking for. I can then build my own understanding of the topic by checking the sources and judging their credibility. Search seems to have been getting worse lately, sadly, but it's still useful.

> I appreciate the clarification that this is not what you meant. It wasn't clear that the "real quest" had any connection to the side quest since they seem unrelated.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I know what I meant. I meant a gaming analogy (main quest/ side quest) not the Christianity metaphor. Just because you perceive as such doesn't mean I meant it as that.

> But I strongly believe that stabilizing the home base is a higher priority in the near term i.e. at a time when the planet is in a precarious place

Sure, just make sure you're not waiting for Godot (I meant the play, but pun is intended).

Earth is never a stable place. Ecosystems are a constant rise and collapse of dietary chains, continents aren't standing still, and cataclysms are a dime a dozen. Organisms causing mass extinctions are also nothing new under the Sun. Albeit, we do hold a speed run record I believe.
Of course. Like I said, The key word that I am objecting to is always.

Eh. Investors/advisors don't change that frequently. And often people will go "oh? Sequoia generally invests in good companies, the invest in X? They might be worth while to buy/work for".

Putting people on the website is, very variable. Do you update the website every week or two when someone comes or leaves? Well that's awkward if someone is fired.

You get to 100 people, then 200 people. Now what do you do? Remove everyone? Only put people on above a certain level? What do you do when someone asks you not to be listed. Or when John becomes Jane, but doesn't want to be super duper public about it?

Or, when your company gets media attention and now the moment you add/remove someone from the website you get news or social media posts about it?
I am not sure what you mean exactly.

GT works on all desktop OSes (and on Android). It works with Git for all sources. It can interoperate with the file system. It works with other runtimes like JS or Python. It works with the debugger adapter protocol to help accommodate other runtimes. It works with language servers, too. It even interoperates with an embedded webbrowser (through WebView on Mac and Windows) both ways.

That's not quite a lack of interoperability, or?
It's quite fun and interesting. Well done!
Backloggd is our main "competitor", and we know most people are already familiar with it. But going from their roadmap (https://backloggd.com/roadmap/), we already have:
- A mobile app
- Steam and PSN integration
- A recommendations system
- Social Page (?)
not sure what they building, but we're trying to keep most of our stuff shareable. For example, you can share a nice Letterboxxed-style image of your game reviews. We're also close to shipping something like this for recent played games, similar to what these third party tools do for LastFM.

We both use IGDB as source, so there's no difference in the actual catalogue of games.
Can this also be used in a non-cloud environment?
Or even say in promox based setup locally?

> Equity investments like this don't need to be repaid

You are saying equity is not bonds.

However investors expect to be repaid in the future with control and exhorbitant interest rates (based on risk). VC invests to make money, but that money comes from future equity rounds or IPO.

If you didn't take the VC money (and the business achieved the same growth without the money) then you'd expect you would have been better off by at least the amount invested (investors don't invest with the expectation of only getting their money back).

If the business doesn't succeed then you are on the hook to pay the debt from your equity via liquidation preferences.

VC payment is expectation statistics, but the investors know that game and invest to make money. That money comes from the current equity owners making less in the future.
I kind of want those, but remember how hard it is to untangle the loops, and I'm already over it.
Nope. Product documentation is published for an external audience. Feature requirements are never published for external audiences.

iTunes / Steam vs piracy is relevant here.

Most people want something that works well in the ways they care about.

People turned to piracy because it was a superior experience to the then-distribution-models.

Then, the majority of people didn't care that iTunes / Steam cost money and had DRM, because it provided a superior experience to piracy.

People want an outcome, easily, reliably: they don't care about the method of getting that outcome.
That's an interesting way of putting it! Thanks.

Ask HN: What Are Your Favourite Self-Hosted Tools in 2025?
>It might be that what you’re talking about is the balance of trade, which is related to, but not the same as currency exchange. But if that’s what you’re talking about, those are the words you should be using.

it's not that I am talking about balance of trade, it's that the orignal question was about balance of trade:

owebmaster 3 days ago on: Mercantilism https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43589882

>and what does Milton Friedman say about a country having enough money to import without export?

he didn't say "a person", he said "a country", that's balance of trade.

so I explained why, by looking at currency exchange, we see that a country cannot engage in perpetual importing without export

you say:

>The exporter will acquire dollars from a currency trader who will sell dollars to them in exchange for pesos at the current market rate plus some premium.

if a country contains no exporters, only importers, the market for dollars or pesos will continue to tilt more and more in one direction. You don't need to model a world market of currency trade to see this, imagine a market with no currency traders (a service industry) but instead a market where you have to do-it-yourself exchange of currency. you will see the same impossible situation of currency flow all in one direction that it essentially consists of printing money till it's worthless

we don't even need currency at all, I could base my argument on barter, but he said "a country having enough money" and money brings currency into the question.

As someone with decades of search engine experience, it's mainly knowing key words and exact phrases to use as well as excludes to filter out garbage. It's a bit hard to teach/explain in a single post, but if you search basted turkey and get results of "turkey baster", then quote the key phrase "basted turkey" -shopping -sale -price, try and remove results from shopping websites with excludes. Understand most search engines will drop most 1-3 letter words from your search. Like searching for 'fire in the house' will only look for results most relevant to the words fire and house, because 'in' and 'the' are just common everywhere. So if you want that exact phrase, then quote it. Searching used to be something you had to learn how to do.
It looks neat, but unlike the Hans Rosling example someone else mentioned, the animation adds no additional information. Showing just the last frame would get the same point across much quicker and more accessible. It's a form of chartjunk.

Very interesting read. Piques the question of what’s indigenous. In Australia the dingo was introduced by humans - but it’s been so long that there’s a blurred line on whether they’re a pest or not.

The sudden change described - too sudden for the ecosystem to absorb, so the old gets replaced instead - has echoes of disruption in tech.
More like as in the Golden Age of Google search, where the product optimized for returning the best, most relevant, most reputable results. As in, pre enshitification.
I would guess that's pretty doable for our mobile version, but I can't promise without doing some PoC fist

But it would probably to this:
- Scan the Barcode
- Fetch the product name from it and try finding a match in our database (ManticoreSearch does a good job in finding matches with similar names)

It all depends on if the product name would even be there at all, or if it can be retrieved easily
>but only marginally worse

My point is that I don't think OP is qualified to say whether or not USAID is putting a meaningful dent in the TB problem.

It's entirely possible that, for example, if you deploy resources amongst individuals that are known to travel, for example, you could significantly eliminate the probability of others being infected (including you and I in the developed world).
I feel like it has been years since search was useful for finding original documentation and sources. Around the time fuzzy responses were introduced and quote searching was removed.

The US market is like half of Nintendo's money.

Add to that, consumers were already price sensitive on Nintendo, they've never been a "good value" situation.

They already raised the price quite a lot for the Switch 2 (compared to the first console) and people were already complaining about the prices BEFORE you had to slap an extra $200 per console and $20 per game for a "Americans didn't pay attention to 6th grade" tax.

This is really going to hurt the console market, like, in general.

One of the hardest things to deal with is the accelerating loss of documentation of these old systems. Unless you are lucky, you end up spelunking around weird and not very safe looking URLs looking for redbooks or specs, or, like some medieval historian, trying to figure out what X said by reading some commentary or rebuttal produced decades later that mentions X.

Case in point: in the late 90s I was a user of a product called SNAP-IX, that aimed to convert between SNA/terminals and TCP/IP client server. It was produced by a small UK company, Data Connection, that then got swallowed up and repurposed and ultimately eaten up by some cloud company, and all the documentation, manuals, specs, and knowledge evaporated. Somebody somewhere might have a pdf library, but you'll never find it. They had kept that product going for 25 years. Pfft. Gone.
Since i don't have a Playstation console currently, can you tell me if disk games are also featured in your library? (E.g. other users may see them when they enter your profile)

~Meta: It may be easiest to read the 38 page PDF explaining what's special about this typeface. You can do this by clicking the eye glyph in the bottom-right corner of the screen, then "Get PDF". You can also read it online by clicking the book glyph in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Obviously.

That said-- I still don't get it. I think it's a font that shows pen strokes, allegedly to assist early readers and those with dyslexia. But it would really really help if they explained it in more plain language somewhere on the site, and leave the long form documents for enthusiasts.

At its current density, it reminds me of the infamous Pepsi Logo design document from 2008: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell...

I think we're making different assumptions around magnitude.

I'm assuming that taxes on advertising would be in line with or even a bit higher than most other taxes, like 20% or maybe even 50%.

You're talking about taxes maybe around 10,000% to multiply the price of Dove soap by 10x, if Dove currently spends 10% on marketing.

Yes, at that level of course advertising disappears and advertiser-supported businesses fold. But if that were the desired outcome, I don't think a government would bother with taxes. They'd just ban advertising.

But if we're talking about a tax like 40%, I don't think consumers would ever notice a difference in the amount of advertising. Products would just cost a little more and advertising rates would be a little less and ABC will just make slightly cheaper TV shows to offset it. You'd still have 8 minutes of commercials for every 22 minutes of content.

You seem to consider LLMs for their ability to generate code and consider it to be 10x an improvement over not using them.

Still, even assuming this is correct (which is not yet anywhere close to being certain), as long as there will be humans deciding what goes into production, decision making will be the bottleneck to address. If people rely on reading, it's too slow. Way too slow. If people only look at the system from outside, they will be making uninformed decisions.

Moldable Development offers a different option :)
Perplexity is nice indeed. I actually pointed my parents at this over the summer. They are Dutch and not really fluent in English. But you can talk to it in Dutch and it's really good. To my surprise, especially my father really seems to like it. He had a stroke a few years ago and he was never that tech savvy. But this works really well for him.

Google is trying to be too clever and failing at that at the same time. I use it for some searches when I roughly know what I'm looking at. The longer the query the more likely it is I'll be using perplexity.
How is the Apache project still alive? Who funds them?
Search engines have gotten worse but they are still much more helpful for finding certain resources compared to LLMs. I am fond of the search operators that still work like `filetype:pdf`, site:example.com`, `intitle:trailmix`.

If they get rid of those operators, then that would be really bad. But I have a feeling that’s what a lot of search engine people are itching to do.

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful question!

Back when I had a small YouTube channel and a Patreon, I actually had 5 or 6 people ask if they could donate in crypto — but I didn’t even have a wallet set up at the time. That really stuck with me. It made me realize there is a niche group of supporters who are deep into crypto and prefer using it over PayPal or Stripe, whether for privacy, convenience, or just because that’s where they keep their funds.

I’m not trying to replace platforms like Ko-fi or Patreon — they’re great. But I think there’s room for a crypto-native alternative that’s simple, creator-friendly, and doesn’t feel like a finance app. If you already have crypto-savvy followers (or are active in Web3 circles), that’s where this could really shine.
no, and there are two major features of using LLM instead of search engines.

1. No prompt about decline/accepting cookies every time I want to look something up.

2. No ads.

the results are mediocre the same way using google is.
