The changes are overstated and it really changes very little for GrapheneOS. See https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/21315-explanation-of-recent....

Android already published the full source code for Stable releases but barely anything for Beta releases. They didn't publish anything for upcoming releases with support for new devices. AOSP main branch received most changes through the Stable releases being merged into it. Most components were developed internally. Certain components were developed publicly in AOSP so they had to repeatedly merge back and forth between the internal and public main branches.

GrapheneOS would benefit from having early access to the monthly, quarterly and yearly releases as Android OEM partners do. The only benefit of having access to the main development branch would be the ability to backport more fixes than they do along with doing it earlier. We occasionally backported fixes from AOSP main for the few components developed publicly through it, which is what's going to be mostly going away. It was a big help to us as access to the upcoming quarterly and yearly releases would be. Monthly updates are too small for it to really matter but it'd still help.

Also worth noting the monthly security patch backports (Android Security Bulletins) are a separate thing from the new OS release each month. Those are backports of many of the High and Critical severity patches to older Android versions, often a month or two after they were released in the actual OS releases each month which are the monthly, quarterly and yearly releases (it's one of the 3 each month, with 3 quarterly releases and 1 yearly release per year although Android 16 is coming earlier this year instead of a 3rd quarterly release).
Wi-Fi geolocation has been around for a while now and is very accurate too, so if TV/receiver manufacturers choose to reveal your location to advertisers (whether out of their own greed or because it's required to receive ATSC 3.0 DRM keys), they can already do so without any problem.

As a Christian leaning person (agnostic, not the most popular position but it is mine for better or worse) This sort of worries me. I wish every one the best but it sounds like a way to gain worshipful followers.

I'm with GP on this one. I am also on a phone without 3.5 mm jack and have wireless headphones because of that. It sucks. With wired (3.5) headphones thing just worked. With wireless, I have to think about headphones' battery level. I can charge from an independent source, but that is a problem when I'm moving (but yes, powerbank would work). I can also use wired headphones through USB-C, but this is a problem in a different setting - the phone better be full or I won't be able to charge it at the same time because the port is used.

I'm sure there are valid technical reasons for removing the 3.5 jack, and I have adapted my headphones to the new situation, but man do I hate it.
The changes are overstated in the media and has little impact on it. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43674145. We would benefit a lot from early access to quarterly and yearly releases but that hasn't ever been public and the AOSP main branch only provided the most recent changes for a few components, and not any of the ones we actually need most.
You only talk about why it can't be done :D.

Modern apps could show the current stock of stations.

Batteries could be modularized. So X car might need 4 pieces. Y car needs only 3 etc.

Bring in standards about car battery spacing etc.

If the station runs out of batteries, just use the backup option, meaning, charge the battery in the car.

Anything else needs addressing? :D

Missels are expensive. Jammers can be farther away than a cheap drone can reach.

Jammers often move. Your missle often cannot manovure well enough to hit. jammers often turn off - if you missle is detected they turn the jammer off and move it. They are often running more than one jammer so getting one to turn off isn't going to matter.

Good GUI apps have shittons of keyboard shortcuts to achieve the same result. The ideal is that the qualified operator keeps their hands on the keyboard for anything that isn't an actual pointing operation. For example, in a video editing app, you can rough-cut with a handful of keys[0] for setting in and out points, jogging through the source material, and inserting into the current active timeline. The keyboard isn't a mere text input device, it's a large-ish macro pad with a huge number of redefineable keys, and it will always be faster to press a button with a known location versus opening a menu and clicking an option by name.

Related: I really liked Blender's text-searchable menus and I wish every GUI app had searchable menus. It's faster than hunting through a static hierarchy. In fact, one of the few criticisms I have of the 4.x era Blender UI is just that it's mildly harder to invoke search.

How do these tariffs help the vast majority of Americans? Maybe in a half a decade-decade time they can get a job in some factory as a tech??? Except there's so much uncertainty and so much tariffs even on raw material that it doesn't even make sense from that perspective.

Raising prices on everything is not going to help the majority of Americans. Taxing the rich might have but half the rationale for these tariffs is tax cuts for the rich.

There is no plan or logic to this.

"the sea drone threat is enormous - but those aren't civilian assets"

Absolutely. Ukraine was able to push Russian surface fleet into Russian ports using sea drones. If Taiwan builds a fleet thereof, the Chinese blockade fleet will face Armageddon.

I saw an interview with a former naval radar guy, who claimed that the natural state of the sea produces so many small false blips that a smartly built sea drone of certain size is basically impossible to distinguish from those.
The title is editorialized: this has nothing to do with NPU (it does not appear in the PDF), which is the term of art for the version of these cores that are sold in laptops.
Great question — we're still in the pre-MVP phase, but client interoperability is a key part of our architecture.

KAELIT includes a compatibility ECC layer designed specifically to support existing Ethereum wallet infrastructure (like MetaMask) with minimal friction. In practice, the idea is that users can connect via standard RPC by setting the appropriate networkID, just as they would for an Ethereum testnet or L2.

Under the hood, KAELIT uses a hybrid cryptographic design: post-quantum signatures (e.g., Dilithium) are primary, but ECDSA remains fully supported for compatibility. This ensures existing wallet libraries, signing tools, and dApp frameworks can interact with our chain during the transition phase.

Regarding smart contract compatibility: our VM is not EVM, but the API design is meant to be semantically close. We're aiming for Solidity-like interoperability via WASM (Ink! / CosmWasm compatible), so existing contracts would need light adaptation, but core logic and interfaces can be reused.

We're releasing more details on our architecture soon — your interest means a lot!
Yeah, the film could have had more content about the real/artificial animals though it did feature a bit with the snake scales and the owl.

Also agree about meeting the other agency though I can imagine that would have complicated the plot a bit (disclaimer - I haven't read Androids for many years and can't remember the details of that scene).

I just think that Mercerism was a superb concept - a participatory religion. I suppose it wouldn't have really driven the story forwards in the film whereas almost every scene in the film was doing that.

Incidentally, here's PKD's short story about Mercerism: https://sickmyduck.narod.ru/pkd092-0.html
But the original terminal was also already using a side channel. You used them to connect to a remote piece of hardware and weren’t running anything locally. In that sense ssh itself is also a side channel.

I also don’t know why you consider manipulating the system clipboard a side channel. The terminal emulator provides a way of manipulating the clipboard but that is just convenience.

Any program can access the clipboard and a TUI program can do this as well. I have a grepalike that inserts a search match into the clipboard for convience. Somewhat ironically most of the time that match gets pasted back into the terminal.

I would actually like to have a network wide clipboard system. There are solution for that but I haven’t yet found any that isn’t too unwieldy.
Much of the stdlib is written in C.

What happens when you use @compile on a function that calls into stdlib directly or indirectly? How do you deal with existing extensions, GIL etc?

If you accept that 100% of legal python is not accepted, you have to write down exactly what is accepted.

Example: https://github.com/py2many/py2many/blob/main/doc/langspec.md
well, make the car companies adhere to the new standards. make the batteries standardised.

the batteries could be replaced at the station, or whoever uses your battery, that individual pays you for using it... and the station only gets a cut.

everything is solvable.
Feels like a way to live with a bad decision rather than getting rid of it.
That is a good point. Repeatedly waiting for compile of build steps is a productivity killer and I think especially relevant for RAD.

I played with Lazarus recently and the whole process of creating a simple GUI was so painless.
Show HN: Navigator Mode (Like Claude Code) for Aider
Hullo folks!

Over the last two days, I've built out support for autonomy in Aider (a lot like Claude Code) that hybridizes with the rest of the app.

It's just implemented as a mode, so you can start Aider with `--navigator` or `/navigator` and ask it to do things.

It's fully able to...

- test out all of its tools, reverting its edits after it makes each one (https://asciinema.org/a/eqnvZ57O7nVWkpc15NYO1tMHx)

- rename just the relevant parts and publish itself to PyPI (
https://asciinema.org/a/9JtT7DKIRrtpylhUts0lr3EfY)

- ship new tools and features in itself

- work in long form akin to Claude Code, in all the ways that that tool does (though I haven't added MCP yet, though someone else has a PR out for that: https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider/pull/3672)

I love Claude Code but I really wanted something like this to be open source and tinker-able -- and because Aider is so wonderfully built, I felt that it's nicest to have this functionality in a tool that has had lots of other thought put into it already. Huge thanks to Paul Gauthier (HN user anotherpaulg) for Aider.

Because Aider's already an amazing platform even without the autonomy, it's very easy to interleave the rest of Aider's functionality with navigator mode. That means... web UI, watch mode (just leave a `# make this darker ai!` comment and Aider will do it) voice input, `/ask`, `/code` and `/architect`.

It works well with a variety of models, but I've found Gemini 2.5 Pro to be the strongest that I've tried, followed by 3.7 Sonnet. Fair warning, akin to Claude Code it can be expensive to run. I'm working on various ways of cutting that down at the moment.

Still lots to improve, but I'm using this all day every day at the moment, so I'll continue to update. :)

I never self-post, so this is an oddity for me, but folks have been asking after things like this, so I figured a quick post made sense.

---

So that people can try it out, I had it upload itself to PyPI as `navigator-mode`, until (and if!) the PR is accepted. Still use the `aider --navigator` command to run it!

After that I was paranoid, so I ran another session where I asked it, "We published this to PyPI. Can you check the distribution of navigator-mode and check that we didn't leak any secrets?"

It dutifully checked `pyproject.toml`, then went after `MANIFEST.in`, scanned a bunch of files and was able to confirm that (hopefully!) I didn't.
Apparently there are two options: An existing Internet connection, or actually receivers transmitting back to the broadcast tower – which sounds crazy, but the specification [1] says it can work over up to 100 kilometers with line-of-sight...?

Then again, thanks to modern modulation techniques, digital steering etc., battery-powered smartphones can talk to satellites 36 thousand kilometers away these days as well, so maybe this is just a thing now? The spec also does mention receive repeaters for complicated non-line-of-sight propagation scenarios.

Isn't the point of a title to get someone to read the book (and not be disappointed by it's contents)?

I get you don't want to name a crime novel like a self help book but the title of the book is really just going to get me to pick it up off the shelf and read the back, not assume the narrative style and complete plot of the book.

Book titles are click bait and always have been.
bwahahaha, nobody cares about why it can't be done. make it possible. china been using replacable battery bikes for a decade. and they also using it for cars.
"More importantly, neither side realised the impact that drones would have."

The Ukrainians absolutely realized that, and I saw a lot of reports about Ukrainian drone operators in 2022 already. It was just after the Nagorno-Karabakh war, where Turkish-made drones were a significant factor in Azeri victory.

There was something else at play. The supply chain had to be built up, plus the Russians were/are quite strong at radioelectronic warfare. Overcoming Russian jamming was a serious uphill battle.

True, but everything should be done in moderation. We could definitely do without ESG mandates and such, and even the European Commission has publicly recognized the need to debloat the European Union a bit.
I'm very hopeful about this game, but afraid it might be closer to rougueLITE than roguelike.

I played two days yesterday, and it started to dawn on me that there must be resource accumulation day to day. Some items cost 10's of coins (as much as 80), while in one day I was only seeing just a few. And really only one easy puzzle so far involving a couple of colored boxes.

So is the puzzle to just keep playing through, accumulating resources to buy what you need until you make it all the way? Or does the true puzzle reveal itself to you as you play through a few times? Maybe the things you buy/activate are one-time unlocks that give access to new parts of the puzzle, without making the puzzle itself easier?

Anyway, I love puzzle games such as Myst, and I'm a new fan of rougelikes (but not roguelites) - so I really want this game to work out.

I registered the trademark through USPTO, you can verify it there. There is some AI involved right now, but not for anything content related.
The article is interesting, but I think it conflates two things:

"Things that never happened in the real world, and have been either created synthetically or with visual trickery"

- Man jumping into the void.

- Stalin's edited photos (Stalin didn't walk without Yezov at his side).

- North Korea's photoshopped/cloned hovercraft.

- The Cottingley Fairies, Loch Ness monster, "saucer" UFOs: visual trickery or props employed to simulate the existence of beings or vehicles that don't exist in the real world.

- Pope with jacket is of course completely faked with AI.

And

"Things that happened, but are staged or misrepresent reality/mislead the viewer".

Examples:

- The UK soldiers abusing a prisoner. The claim was probably false (in the sense in this particlar photo these weren't British soldiers) but it's true they were soldiers from some country abusing a prisoner. To my knowledge no-one claimed the photo was staged, just that it was misrepresenting the situation.

- Capa's Falling Soldier photo. This actually happened, it's just that it's likely staged.

They are not the same thing, and require different levels of skill!

AI facilitates creating anything, especially completely synthetic and fake. You don't even need to go to the location to take a photo and edit it.
> Graphene is not for everyday casual users.

GrapheneOS is intended for everyone.

> It really only works well if you don't rely on any apps that depend on Google play, like steam or discord.

Steam, Discord and the vast majority of Android apps work perfectly on GrapheneOS. Sandboxed Google Play is a robust feature which works very well. If you're choosing to completely avoid using Google Play, that's your choice. Steam and Discord both still likely work without it, but without push notifications since they have no alternative to FCM as certain other apps do.

> If you're on AT&T, you don't get caller ID or voicemail.

You do get caller ID and voicemail on AT&T. Visual voicemail doesn't work with AT&T with the built-in Dialer app because it uses a protocol not supported by AOSP. It does work with Google Dialer based on user feedback on our forum.

> This is an OS for people who care more about privacy and security than having an everyday usable phone. It is very much not for normal people.

GrapheneOS is very usable as an every day usage phone for regular people. Nearly every Android app can be used on it. It sounds like you were choosing to use it without sandboxed Google Play, which is a choice to have a more limited app and service ecosystem. That's not the same as a choice to use GrapheneOS. It can be used like a regular Android phone with 1 profile containing sandboxed Google Play, or people can use sandboxed Google Play in a specific profile with most of their apps in another profile. Using it without sandboxed Google Play in a secondary profile is something many GrapheneOS users do successfully but it's in no way required or expected. We wouldn't have made that huge feature if we didn't want it to be used by a lot of people.

> can't remember the details of that scene

Deckard gets arrested by a different police agency - they think they're the only ones, just like Deckard's agency. He gets accused of being an android with implanted memories.

They administer Voigt-Kampf tests to each other and while everyone ends up as human, the scene serves to make who's human and who isn't even more of a question.

What really ticks me off about all movies made from Dick's writings is that they cut off most of the ambiguity.

I shudder to think what they'd make of Ubik or A Maze of Death...

What I'm saying that writers were clearly forbidden by the communist powers to look towards west. Those were cancelled subjects, and cancel would be the least punishment there available. That's why everything that was written against the censorship bureau, would be covered by an allegory blanket, and writers were often asked to remove parts of they could be deciphered by the censor officials. Of course later on the iron hand of authorities was loosening and more and more forbidden words were tolerated, up to the 1989 Round Table event when Poland was freed (not before strong military repression happening in 1981)
