I don't have to imagine it at least on the internet - I've been blocking all ads on all my devices very successfully since 1999. In fact now I can't stand having to look at or use anyone else's computer or smartphone (usually when they ask for free tech support).
I filter both, plus any other political talk. I want to look at retro games, some tech and art and that's it. For some people everything has to be political, and anyone who doesn't want to read the angry rants is an an echo chamber, but so be it. Personally, I find my cake to be very tasty.

How can you build something in Jai before you have access to Jai?

I heard he only gives access to people who more out less guarantee they will use it relatively heavily, but how can I know of I will before I can scarily try it?

Basically I heard he only gives access if he thinks you will use it — not just so you can try it. That might work fine for people with enough time on their hands that they can say “I’ll do this full project in it, regardless of how it goes”, but I prefer to be able to tinker first to see if I find it suitable. For example, I’ve had projects where I though “ok I’m going to do this in Rust|Zig” and after trying for a few days realising that it’s not the route I want to take.

In any case, anyone can just download C3 and try it. You can’t just download Jai to try it. So my statement is still true.
> Other than that it is very hard to tax profits generated in another country.

But it's easy to tax personal wealth. It's new and different to tax wealth instead of income but it's not totally unreasonable IMO.

EDIT: also, the highest income tax rate in the US has dropped significantly since the 1950s. Maybe that was what made America great then?
Was interested to find that the Claudes did the most betraying, and were betrayed very little; somewhat surprising given its boy-scout exterior.

(Then again, apparently the president of the local Diplomacy Society attends my church; I discovered this when another friend whom I'd invited saw him, and quipped that he was surprised he hadn't been struck by lightning at the door.)

DeepSeek and Gemini 2.5 had both a low betrayer and betrayed rate.

o3-mini and DeepSeek had the highest number of first-place finishes, but were only in the upper quartile in the TrueSkill leaderboard; presumably because they played more risky strategies, that would either lead ot complete winning or early drop-out?

Also interesting that o1 was only way to sway the final jury a bit more than 50% of the time, while o3-mini managed 63% of the time.

Anyway, really cool stuff!
> They won’t discuss their Raw format in detail

Can you share the reason for that?

It seems to me that long ago, camera companies thought they would charge money for their proprietary conversion software. It has been obvious for nearly as long that nobody is going to pay for it, and delayed compatibility with the software people actually want to use will only slow down sales of new models.

With that reasoning long-dead, is there some other competitive advantage they perceive to keeping details of the raw format secret?
I found it incredibly frustrating at first, so much so that a Loupedeck became a wise and necessary investment to keep the anticipation of editing burden from beginning to depress my interest in photography.

I still have the Loupedeck, on one of the shelves behind my desk. I think I might have used it twice last year.
You'd be surprised how little impact getting rid of all social media, including Twitter, really has on your life.

Oh yes, before we've designated all the messy parts of running a society to the machines, like, you know, art.

Yeah this really exposes how empty and vapid the praise and criticism you see of stuff here is. Of course there are some people here who are well known to be substantial in their experience, but sooo many people clearly are not. The vast majority are just superficial and you can and should ignore them.
Startups aim to grow quickly.

Every single definition highlights that difference versus traditional small businesses. Trying to re-brand small businesses into "startups" for the cool name factor just seems silly to me. If you're making a sustainable small business then call it that. Don't call it a startup. You'll get more customers that way as well and more relevant business contacts.

People care about startups because of the high growth rate. Renaming a small business to a startup achieves as much as slapping a porsche logo onto a honda civic. The civic is a solid car but you won't make people'd heads turn with that logo on it or not.
> By Bluesky being put away as a platform for 'lefties' on X and users on Bluesky saying "Go to your fascist platform X" to other users it essentially participates in dividing people. At least, on the political parts of the platform.

What's wrong with that? I mean, yes, lefties can be pretty scathing against their own - particularly the questions of Israel/Palestine and Ukraine/Russia come to my mind as major dividers.

But even then: the death threats, "I wish you'd get raped by the n----s you invited to Germany, then you see the results of the great replacement yourself" and similarly inclined comments on Twitter are all but completely absent on Bluesky, and instead of feeding even the most obvious trolls, the general policy is to block them and move on - which is why the far-right is complaining so often about Bluesky being a "librul echo chamber". They just can't fathom that people might not be interested in interacting with them.
Every interaction you have with a social network nudges you into one mode of interacting or other.

The biggest deviation from the norm with Twitter is the ideas of quote-tweeting and subtweeting, making a new post rather than replying to something you disagree with in the comments. The automatic signal boost this achieves incentivizes it strongly, and when the larger account is the quote-tweeting account, they are inclined to hear reply comments almost exclusively from people who support their critique. The structural decision to make this form of interaction easy and productive leads to very Twitter-specific sort of toxic groupthink.

"You, a Twitter nobody, just disagreed with someone on their misinterpretation of a well-documented point of history. In response, they made a new post to their 700k followers calling you a chickenshit know-nothing. Your followers heard nothing. 300 of their followers have piled on to elaborate on your faults."

This used to be limited to the sort of instant cancellation associated with "Central Park Karen," who IIRC went viral just after boarding a flight and was fired before she landed.
The bigger problem is that people from societies with FPTP voting systems often tend to think binary. The world is more multi-faceted than that, it's not always two sides to a coin, good vs bad, left vs. right, etc.
A lot of humans are similarly good at some stuff and bad at other things.

Looking up the math ability of the average American this is given as an example for the median (from https://www.wyliecomm.com/2021/11/whats-the-latest-u-s-numer...):

>Review a motor vehicle logbook with columns for dates of trip, odometer readings and distance traveled; then calculate trip expenses at 35 cents a mile plus $40 a day.

Which is ok but easier than golf balls in a 747 and hugely easier than USAMO.

Another question you could try from the easy math end is: Someone calculated the tariff rate for a country as (trade deficit)/(total imports from the country). Explain why this is wrong.
For short identifiers, I think you missed an important detail.

> Also related: (in particular local) identifiers and names should be short.

The general idea is that the more distant the identifier is, the more descriptive is should be. Because you don't have as much context, and it is also a hint: if you see a long, descriptive name, it is more likely to be global.

And descriptive doesn't mean long. You still need to try making your descriptive names as short as possible. For example "timeSinceMidnightInSeconds" can be shortened to "secondsSinceMidnight" without loss of information: seconds are a unit of time, no need to repeat it.
If by "nontoxic", one means a social media where people complain about the other side, then sure, I guess bluesky is on a great quest.

I don't have a dog in US politics fight, but from my experience on BlueSky, it has become a social network for people who disagree with the current US politics, and most of the content there is debunking/criticizing the other side. Whether you think it's nontoxic is up to you, but history has shown that creating isolated echo-chambers is generally a bad idea.
social media is not toxic. humans are toxic. the only social media that is not toxic is google+ because there are no humans there.

> Nontoxic social media isn’t possible.

I agree, but you can't ignore politics because in the end your definition of Toxicity is probably a direct reflection of your political positions.

And if current platform are so toxic I believe it's mainly by choice, be it an ideological or economical one.

It's also like 4 digital dials. And you can leave most to Auto until you realize each specific dial enables something you desire. Sony tried "non-scary automagic" approach, and have instantly gone back to dials.

There's also Sigma BF if that's what you want; Sigma actually do pretty good job from perspective of minimalistic, idealistic, on-point, field usable UI, though the return of that effort just isn't worthwhile. I have the OG DP1, it feels natural as IntelliMouse PS/2. I've tried dp2 Quattro once and it felt natural as any serious right-handed trackballs. They scratch so many of camera nerds' itching points.

Most people just buys an A7M4 and an 24-70 Zeiss. And then they stupidly leave it all to auto and never touches the dials. And it puts smiles on people's faces 80% of times. And that's okay. No?
AI writing tools are flattening tone of voice – here's a repeatable demo
I ran an experiment comparing outputs from simple text prompts vs. structured JSON prompts in a CMS-like context.

The structured version was consistently duller and less expressive, even when asked to be poetic or emotional.

Curious to hear what others working on AI, NLP, UX, and CMS tooling think.
Regardless of your allegiances, if you are all of the same homogenious opinion, how would you even recognize extremism or "toxicity" in your own echo chambers?
Websites usually give some value in exchange for displaying ads, but I’ve always thought that ads that offer no reciprocal value should at least be taxed for public benefit. Like billboards should help pay for the roads they’re on since they’re taking your attention (and arguably putting you in danger as a result) while giving nothing in return.

This is a paper by INSAIT researchers - a very young institute which hired most of its PHD staff only in the last 2 years, basically onboarding anyone who wanted to be part of it. They were waiving their BG-GPT on national TV in the country as a major breakthrough, while it was basically was a Mistral fine-tuned model, that was eventually never released to the public, nor the training set.

Not sure whether their (INSAIT's) agenda is purely scientific, as there's a lot of PR on linkedin by these guys, literally celebrating every PHD they get, which is at minimum very weird. I'd take anything they release with a grain of sand if not caution.
Indeed. And congrats on your daughter's craftiness and how it intersects with math.

Our daughter is not so much into the pure math side but loves to do amigurumi, which is really applied 3D modelling. A craft show she wants to do later in the year doesn't allow the use of other people's models, so she is having to design her own. It's so very impressive, and she gets so much joy from seeing kids really, really want her work, as they do. It's math, modelling, color matching design, and understanding the kinds of threads all rolled up into one, so to speak :-)

There's a difference between being toxic and not allowing politics. Political discussions aren't inherently toxic, they're just easier to slip into toxicity.

Look at HN. There's political conversation here occasionally, but it's not generally toxic.

All it takes is clear, consistent, and constant moderation.
Sure, I was just elaborating on why "fully assembled" does not mean "finished product" to most people.
> Why Germans put up with snail-speed internet

Because telecom companies have a revolving door in the German government.

Competition is almost inexistant, market is segmented, politicians are cheap, prices are high. Business as usual.
As far as I know you can deliberately choose who you follow (like on Twitter) and which algorithm you use to compose your feed (unlike Twitter). It gives me more power to decide what is important to me and what isn't. How is that not an improvement?

Make a sign up opt-in database where you put your demographic information and a unique disposable identifier per potential customer.

Allow browser plugins that collect allowed data and send it to this database for advertisers to use for targeting. Let local code determine what I send, not an external entity.

Give the web an advertising standard that only shows approved data when you choose to link your unique ID with your current ID. Make this link severable.

Hell, you’d have people signing up for the advertising and targeting if we knew it wasn’t going to be abused and effectively the only digital advertising legally permitted. The problem with the current system is consent.
> The benefit of having only one implementation of a protocol is that the protocol can evolve much faster.

Or you design the protocol to allow non-standard extensions, like with SSH, so you can have foo@example.com implemented by one product (and others can look for it if useful), and bar@example.org by another product. And if enough folks file the feature(s) useful they can be standardize with tweaks that fixed issues that were found though operational experience.

Lots of IETF standards have a "x-" prefix mentioned for private / proprietary extensions.
> The question is: how much can you take in? As much as I despise the owner, it's X all day.

The problem with X is, the mirror is artificially dented by a ton of people paying for the privilege of getting their replies prioritised. That in turn drowns out the voice of those not willing to pay Musk for the privilege.
The blowhards drive engagement. . . Social media platforms have every incentive to keep them around.

Show HN: I created a no-code mobile onboarding builder
Onboarding flows are a huge part of an app’s conversion rate, but I’ve always been annoyed by how much work it takes to create, iterate, and test them properly.

So I built Onboardzy.

It’s a drag-and-drop onboarding builder that plugs into your iOS app with just a couple lines of code.

You can then push updates or test different flows in real time, no need to recompile or wait for App Store review.

It's perfect if you want to experiment or improve onboarding without the usual overhead.

Would love your feedback. If you want to try it, It’s free
I just turn off the politics on BlueSky by not following rabid politics-posters. Even the retro-computing enthusiast I follow can have a bad day and repost something political and I'm okay with a little bit of that.

(I had to unfollow Mark Hamill though because of the politics firehose. And I generally agree with him politically ... I just don't need it on BlueSky all the time.)

They will be inherently toxic when the politics are inherently toxic.

You can be banned from /r/Conservative permanently for showing the slightest deviation from the current propaganda line, but there are such a ready supply of new people that the algorithm attracts who naturally are opposed to the political platform that many bans are handed out per discussion.
No, it requires a shift in thinking. There are no guarantees with information one reads as it is.

I find Bluesky better but I've had to be pretty aggressive about blocking centre-left types. I don't even disagree with most of what they're complaining about, after being away from twitter for years that whole style of discourse is just extremely unpalatable.

Def get the impression they're driving people away who were enjoying bluesky previously, there's just so much of them on the feeds atm.

They have an actually working version of that too, I think it’s one of the defaults.
An echo chamber, also known as "a community" or "having friends," is basically how most human interaction worked before the Web popularized constant, context-collapsed arguing with various types of reactionaries, conspiracy theorists, bio-essentialists, "race realists," "climate skeptics," etc., about which "evidence" sounds or feels the most correct (rather than what evidence is actually provably correct).
This is indeed obvious for weeks, no questions here. However, the even more accelerated developments in the last 2 weeks, as well as what happened in France with the Ministry of Education opting for a Microsoft solution, even if there are so many good French options out there (Suite Hexagonne to name at least one), made it even more obvious and stringent.
None, however the fearless concurrency sales pitch usually leaves that scenario as footnote.
Yes. This is as bad or worse than Clinton's email servers. It deserves to be talked about at least as long and investigated at least as thoroughly. Which in the case of Clinton involved bringing it up for nearly a decade, an FBI investigation, an Inspector General's report on the FBI's and DOJ's handling of the case and a three year State Department investigation. It's only fair to apply the same standard here

"game changing" isn't exactly the sentiment there the last couple months.
Movement doesn't make sense when we can't predict or explain it. Based on our understanding of gravity as confirmed by observations of our solar system we expect to see galaxies do X but instead they do Y, and then we collectively fail to identify a simple explanation like bad math or a bad assumption.

In one sense this is a vindication of our application of the scientific method and the way we make theories: a bad theory wouldn't be able to be checked, whereas a good theory can make precise enough claims that when a limitation is found (such as when our predictions about reality do not match our observations) that the results of the check are clear.
This is too dismissive, and there are a zillion articles of human learning.

Show HN: OTPDock – API inbox for testing email OTP flows in end-to-end tests
Hey HN,

I built OTPDock to make testing email OTP flows less painful.

I was tired of hacking together Gmail or digging through inboxes just to grab a code during E2E tests. This tool gives you a test inbox and a simple API to fetch the OTP — that’s it.

How it works:
- You send an email to anything@your-subdomain.otpdock.com
- We parse it, extract the OTP, and make it available via API
- You grab the code in your test and move on

Took about 10 days from idea to working beta. Still super early, but free tier is live if you want to play with it.

Would love any feedback, ideas, or critiques.

Thanks!
