Lawyers and people with lots of money figured out how to make even bigger piles of money for lawyers and people with lots of money from people who could make things like art, music, and literature.

They occasionally allowed the people who actually make things to become wealthy in order to incentivize other people who make things to continue making things, but mostly it's just the people with lots of money (and the lawyers) who make most of the money.

Studios and publishers and platforms somehow convinced everyone that the "service" and "marketing" they provided was worth a vast majority of the revenue creative works created.

This system should be burned to the ground and reset, and any indirect parties should be legally limited to at most 15% of the total revenues generated by a creative work. We're about to see Hollywood quality AI video - the cost of movie studios, music, literature, and images is nominal. There are already creative AI series and ongoing works that beat 90's level visual effects and storyboarding being created and delivered via various platforms for free (although the exposure gets them ad revenue.)

We better figure this stuff out, fast, or it's just going to be endless rentseeking by rich people and drama from luddites.
Interesting - did you set up your own pipeline from the DS to each platform? How did you manage parity and consistency over time?
Protests need to be 3x bigger because the revolution isn't being televised. 5M people and the corporate-owned media carries water for the establishment by downplaying them as "thousands".
Embedded compiler vendors and UNIXes want a possibly slightly patched C or C++ compiler, maybe with an extra back-end bolted on. I'm talking about use-cases like Rust and Zig and Swift, projects which want a solid optimizing back-end but their own front-end and tooling.
Yes, local maxima. You cannot reward a political party when they skip the democratic process and appoint a candidate. If they repeat it again, hopefully they keep losing until they learn their lesson and we get a better set of people who can run the country well.
Look at it this way: the United States is such a gigantic territory with a broad spectrum of different peoples and cultures.

It’s like asking if Africans are welcome, or are Asians welcome?

I think any tourism or hospitality industry will welcome anybody who is polite, courteous and spends money. That’s the bottom line, literally. Bonus: most Americans understand English and spend $USD!

Anyone who will check into a hotel, spend money on taxis, dining, and entertainment, doesn’t get into illegal shit, and purchases souvenirs? That’s a welcome tourist.

Of course, that’s assuming that Americans travel for conventional tourism. If you’re going to travel for a protest, or to smuggle drugs, or to advance some political agenda, then that’s not really tourism. Or if you’re a member of a women’s basketball team and you’re casually smuggling marijuana... all bets are off.

It makes me happy to hear this about the “No AI” badges you’ve encountered.

> It’s fraud, there’s no other area where we’re alright with passing off something generated as hand made.

This is something that bugs me as well. One of the signals that’s very useful when hiring is to read a person’s blog, GitHub etc. I’d want to know that what I’m reading was actually written by them, especially for roles that require writing in some form.
He doesn't mention how he calibrates the camera extrinsics or intrinsics. This isn't new, it's basic structure from motion. He is going to be amazed when he "discovers" photogrammetry and bundle adjustment next.

I checked out the code and there is no consideration for camera parameters it seems. It's a neat demo but impractical given the need for precise camera calibration over distance. Long baseline stereo has problems unless you can figure out how to keep the cameras aligned within fractions of a mm over great distances.
Great article, that gets the critique exactly right. The most frustrating part of Bazel is how shoddy the workmanship is. For example, Bazel throws away your analysis cache when you change flags that have nothing to do with what's being built or how, like flags that change what tests are run.

If course the biggest issue is that tiny operations take more time than necessary. For example, at $PreviousJob we wrote custom CLI tools and put them in our monorepo, but since you need Bazel to run them, running a basic tool took 9-12 seconds. So this revelation from the article was totally unsurprising:

> This rewrite was carefully crafted to optimize memory layouts, avoiding unnecessary pointer chasing (which was impossible to avoid in Java). The results of this experiment proved that Blaze could be made to analyze large portions of Google’s build graph in just a fraction of the time, without any sort of analysis caching or significant startup penalties.

Yeah, with attentive engineering it's not surprising that you can get massive speedups.

Finally, Bazel is ok at building multiple languages, but awful at getting them to depend on each other. I don't know what's going on here, but whatever magic makes it possible for any language to depend on C and C++ was not extended to other possible dependencies. So now you get to fight or rewrite all the rules, which is another bag of worms.

Show HN: AiText - OSS AI browser extension to do anything with selected text
This is what I've done for years: doing app development using the .test TLD, and .internal for, well, internal services that are more like "production IT".

I've had nothing but trouble with .local and .localhost. Specifically, .local is intended for other purposes (multicast DNS) and .localhost has a nasty habit of turning into just "localhost" and in some cases, resolvers don't like to allow that to point to anything other than 127.0.0.1.

More recently, I've stuck to following the advice of RFC 6762 and use an actual registered TLD for internal use, and then sub-domain from there. I don't use my "production" TLD, but some other, unrelated TLD. For example, if my company is named FOO and our corporate homepage is at foo.com, I'll have a separate TLD like bar.com that I'll use for app development (and sub-domain as dev.bar.com, qa.bar.com, and maybe otherqa.bar.com as needed for different environments). That helps avoid any weirdness around .localhost, works well in larger dev/qa environments that aren't running on 127.0.0.1, and allows me to do things like have an internal CA for TLS instead of using self-signed certs with all of their UX warts.

For "local network" stuff, I stick to ".internal" because that's now what IANA recommends. But I would distinguish between how I use ".internal" to mean "things on my local network" from "this is where my team deploys our QA environment", because we likely aren't on the same network as where that QA environment is located and my ".internal" might overlap with your ".internal", but the QA environment is shared.
yes, that was one of the externally shared narratives. The other part is that google didn't want to be beholden to nvidia GPUs, since they have an associated profit margin that is higher than TPUs, as well as resource constraints (total amount of GPUs shipping at any given time).

Another part that was left out was that Google did not make truly high speed (low-latency) networking and so many of their CPU jobs had to be engineered around slow networks to maintain high utilization and training speed. Google basically ended up internally relearning the lessons that HPC and supercomputing communities had already established over decades.
I wrote a super basic DNS server in go (mostly fun and go practice) which allows you to specify hosts and ips in a json config file. This eliminates the need for editing your /etc/hosts file. If it matches a host in the json config file it returns that ip, else uses Cloudflare public DNS resolver as a fallback. Please; easy on my go code :-). I am a total beginner with go.

The biggest problem with everything NotBazel in this space is IDE support. JetBrains have already moved their build for IntelliJ to it, and are aggressively adding native first party support.
I Wrote an Introduction to an AI
That rule misses important cases:

• Adding a file. It hasn't been read before, so no tasks in your graph know about it. If you can intercept and record what file patterns a build tool is looking for it helps, but you can't easily know that because programs often do matching against directory contents themselves, not in a way you can intercept.

• File changes that yield no-op changes, e.g. editing a comment in a core utility shouldn't recompile the entire project. More subtly, editing method bodies in a Java program doesn't require the users to be recompiled, but editing class definitions or exposed method prototypes does.

• "Building" test cases.

• You don't want to repeat work that has been done before, so you want to cache it (e.g. switching branches back and forth shouldn't rebuild everything).
This behavior can be replicated with any class that has two special methods:
__neg__ that returns -1 and __sub__ that accepts ints and returns 1-other.

For example if you make this class:

class _:
def __neg__(self):
return -1
def __sub__(self, other):
return 1-other

You get similar behavior:

>>> --_()
1
>>> _()--_()

Photon-based chips vs electron-based chips? It's interesting that photons and electrons are closely related: two neutral photons can become an electron-positron pair and vice versa.

The paper mentions that their photonic chip is less precise than an electronic one, but this looks like an advantage for AI. In fact, the stubborn precision of electron-based processors that erase the quantum nature of electrons is what I think is preventing the creation of real AI. In other words, if a microprocessor is effectively a deterministic complex mechanism, it won't become AI no matter what, but if the quantum nature is let loose, at least slightly, interesting things will start to happen.

I don't know what your question means.

OP said "why should I be bothered to read what nobody could be bothered to write," which I think is silly, because I enjoy all kinds of things that nobody bothered to create. Things that exist naturally, randomly, or arise through rules or physical laws. Waves on the beach, a fractal, a game of sudoku, a campfire at night.

Until recently, humans were the only source of writing. If you wanted to read something, it had to be something written by a human. Now you can read things that weren't written by a human, just like you can watch or smell or feel things not created by humans. I think that's neat. I don't think it devalues writing, at least not inherently.
>If we free up everyone to do anything

Not anything, but something useful. And in exchange for that useful they'll get resources (which will become more abundant).
> Only time will tell if this tech is deflationary or inflationary though.

Or both. That would be my bet. The industry in general will see a decline. The massive growth in developer numbers will place enormous supply-side pressure. But certain experts who remain supply constrained along with increasing demand for those special services amid the explosion of new software being written will make a killing.
>Care to explain how Kristallnacht is in any way different from an intifada

Calls for a "global intifada" are simply calls to oppose the existence of the state of Israel as a settler colony in the land formerly known as Palestine. That's it. It is an immoral country, built by settlers as an ethnostate, and its existence is a moral stain on the world. Has literally nothing to do with "Jews" (I feel the same way about the Muslims in Nagorno-Karabakh right now) and everything to do with a bunch of jack boot fascists who ethnically cleansed an area and continue to oppress the remainder of the people there at gunpoint in massive concentration camps.

Calling for an intifada (which just means "resistance") against that is no difference than calling for the end of Rhodesia. This is a nation that made a man into a celebrity for raping prisoners.
Some of them were (kapos) and helped found Israel. They watched and learned a lot.

From what I've found, being overweight negatively affects sleep. As far as I can tell, the extra weight simply makes it hard to breathe at night, leading to apnea. This can then cause depression and anxiety, depression because you wake up tired and feeling awful every single day and anxiety because you may wake up with night terrors after suffocating in your sleep.

At least it's easy to get a home sleep apnea test and an APAP/CPAP these days.

Industrial CT would probably be pretty effective at giving a density distribution and identifying voids, but that may be overkill - a couple planes of X-ray imaging may be sufficient.

Ultrasound would also be a solid bet, but it depends how many points you need to sample if it would be time efficient.
In the 2020s I have used BUCK, BUCK2, and Blaze every working day. I don’t feel like getting in to details but I’ll just say that BUCK2 is the best of the 3 and I’m delighted it’s open source.

I don’t have experience with Bazel as it exists externally but I expect the internal Blaze has advanced far beyond it by now as the entire Google engineering world depends on it.

Hey HN,

We’re building Leadbeam- an AI-powered field sales platform that helps reps generate leads, plan efficient days, log CRM data and complete next steps in seconds.

The Problem:

Field reps still rely on Google Maps, notes apps, and CRMs built for inside sales.

As a result:

- Hours are wasted on admin tasks and driving from location to location. On average, reps spend less than 28% of their time actually selling.

- Over 90% of field activity goes unlogged, leading to low conversion rates, and making it impossible to accurately transfer pipelines when a rep leaves the company or transfers territories.

- Sales leaders lack visibility into what’s actually happening in the field, making it hard to coach, forecast, or plan territory coverage effectively

What Leadbeam Does:

- Update CRM data in seconds using voice, image, and location intelligence.

- Help prioritize prospects given the reps location and likelihood to close.

- Generate intelligent follow-ups based on past interactions so no follow up falls through the cracks.

- Sales leaders get visibility into real-time rep activity, performance, and territory coverage.
LeadMaps:

Our LeadMaps feature is currently in beta. It helps reps:

- Find the hottest leads in their given territory.

- Optimize routes to maximize daily visits, save time and fuel

- Company enrichment to improve conversion rates.

Results:

- CRM data increased by 6x (some teams 10x)

- Reps saved 5+ hours/week

- Conversion rates increased by 33%

We’re looking for feedback from field sales teams and Sales/RevOps leaders.

If you’re interested in a demo, you can request one through our website:

Ultrasound seems to be viable

> A study on structural quality control of Swiss‐type cheese with ultrasound is presented. We used a longitudinal mode pulse‐echo setup using 1–2MHz ultrasonic frequencies to detect cheese‐eyes and ripening induced cracks. Results show that the ultrasonic method posses good potential to monitor the cheese structure during the ripening process. Preliminary results indicate that maturation stage could be monitored with ultrasonic velocity measurements.

Show HN: Pw-punch – sub-2KB JWT/password crypto – Edge-native, 0 deps
I needed a lightweight crypto lib for JWTs and password hashing that works without Node.
So I built `pw-punch`, a 4KB WebCrypto-only toolkit — no deps, no config.

It works great on Cloudflare / Deno / Bun.
Would love to hear what you think.

I've been working on a tiny crypto utility that requires *no dependencies*, *no Node.js*, and works purely on the WebCrypto API — ideal for edge runtimes like *Cloudflare Workers*, *Deno*, *Vercel*, or *Bun*.

Features:
- Password hashing using PBKDF2 + random salt
- JWT-style token signing (HMAC-SHA256 / SHA512)
- Token verification with claim checks (exp, iat, nbf, iss, sub, aud)
- `kid` support (key rotation)
- ~4KB gzipped, 0 config, 0 install

I built it because I needed something that just works on the edge with *zero install bloat*.
Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback.
Maybe, and the promise of AI nowadays seems to be "we'll automate art and science and creativity so you have more time to do low-value manufacturing".
My wife uses this solution. When I am at work and someone wants to know if I can do a team dinner, I have to call her if she's at home, or tell them I'll get back to them. I never know if I'm free and finding out is inefficient at best.

Unsurprising from a qualitative, anecdotal perspective: heavy delta 9 THC users seem to develop "tweaker" psychological and personality changes. Just a little seems to result in chiller people. Moderation in all things except moderation. is often a fail-safe strategy.
