> Why do you have a strongly held armchair belief?

What an interesting thing to say/ask.
I don't agree. "Capability" is a red herring. It's not about what we can do, it's about what we allow ourselves to do.
Can you say more? What are you doing specifically? I use AI for some things (mostly assisting with software development) and I have had a wildly different experience. I have used ChatGPT o1 and made some icons for internal apps so our employees can easily pick them from a list and the AI generated logos look just awful. I go with them because aesthetics don't matter for this use case they just need to be visually recognizable but it doesn't understand the concept of a logo it wouldn't even give me a white background let alone a transparent one.

I have had some success with some UI components but I usually need to massage them a bit and anything big or requiring a lot of changes it starts to trip over itself.
>"Imagine some theoretical technological advancement. Now take it out of context, put it in the worst possible circumstances, and imagine it appeared into a society like ours without any prior thought or discussion about the possible downsides of that technology."

So, exactly like the real world case with all modern tech advancements?

While it initially makes a reasonable proxy you end up polluting the measurements gradually by engineering for maximum screen time. The Artificialy created screentime is increasingly unrelated to satisfaction and ultimately not at all.

Take how Google sorts results by popularity while it is also the main source of "popularity".

The word means something different now.
Oh, I 100% agree with you. I love the stdlib and the language. Doing the few things I did in Crystal were so pleasant and a joy to work with. Maybe I'm too reliant on the crutches that I am uses to. It's not that I can't work without them, I just feel like why waste the time.

I will say, as a primarily Go dev, I have been really spoiled by the Go toolset and features.
What opposition? The recklessness of Trumps political agenda is benefitting the rich elite and despite appearances both parties leadership consist of those in the rich elite. America doesn’t have a party representing the workers because anyone getting any traction in politics almost immediately leaves the working class. That’s why the level of political opposition is currently at “let’s all wear matching ties to show our disapproval of this political development that will absolutely make us tons and tons of money but which we need to look like we oppose”
Datastar author here... AMA, but know that Datastar is pure yak shaving for me to do real work stuff so I have no golden calves, just approaches I've seen work at scale.
I read “mainstream” as one of those words like “modern,” to apply the media that was prevalent when the phrase was coined. Technically modern architecture, if we read the words literally and individually… well, I guess that would be tent-cities, that seems to mostly be what gets built nowadays.

Facebook, the tent-city of media, actually it would kinda work if only the platform wasn’t centrally controlled.
Product Managers that have nothing better to do than A/B testing.

And the curse of "AI" and extensive machine learning. As if machine learning can adequately represents a person's tastes and preferences.
>Which is a long way of saying the executive can blackhole anyone it wants

Do you have examples of the executive doing this to citizens or are you being hypothetical here?

Countries generally grant far fewer rights to non-citizens. Have you considered how allowing non-citizens to spread discontent within a country could be abused?
MCP Commander: Monitor, Debug, and Secure Your MCP Servers
I built MCP Commander to solve a small but growing problem I have: having to repeatedly configure new (and potentially untrustworthy) MCP servers across various tools and projects.

MCP Commander can manage your configuration files across any host application you have that follows the increasingly-standard MCP server configuration file format.

It sits between your MCP hosts and servers to provide visibility to MCP server traffic.

It lets you configure triggers on MCP server traffic, alarming you to things like tool poisoning attempts, authentication hijacking, stealth commands, data exfiltration attempts, etc.

It lets you easily run certain MCP servers inside of Docker. Configure with one click across all your host applications.

I'm hoping to find beta participants to provide feedback. HN participants will receive a free lifetime license in return.
Agreeing with all my siblings' comments, computers took cues from a lot of places and evolved to be general-purpose. Something similar happened on the GPU side, and at some point, the best parts of bespoke graphics hardware got generalized–plus 3D upended the whole space. By the PS3 era, there were multiple GPU vendors and multiple generations of APIs, so everything had settled down and standardized. The era of gaining a competitive advantage through clever hardware was over, and Sony, a hardware company, was still fighting the last war.

Classifying Ways of Thinking About Interpretability Research
Please name a metric or set of metrics? Because when we talk about metrics, these are measurable data points. Chrome has better Javascript performance, this is a measurable datapoint, and they definitely did technically win here. That was essentially the only metric that they won on.

If the metric is mindshare, end user engagement, or anything "feely", of course they were ahead... that's the end result of Marketing. That's what Marketing does. They had front-and-center advertising on the most visited website in the world, with branding from the (at the time) most valuable tech company in the world.

FWIW, these are moving targets, browser teams across the board are constantly working on engine-side performance to make up for the complete lack of care from front-end developers as the JS community continues to churn through hype cycles, so that we aren't destroying batteries on dominant web devices (mobile phones and laptops). Mozilla has been maintaining public repeatable benchmarks for a very long time and continues to do so, although there isn't enough data available to go back in time ~10 years: https://arewefastyet.com/
You forgot to quote (and maybe read?) this part of the parent comment:

"a game available for both Xbox and PS3."

The "both" part means they aren't talking about exclusives.
Don't smoke kids.
I have been playing this game and it is really a blast. The tutorial note cards strongly recommend using a pen+paper while playing and I can second that as pretty much required for some of the more "meta" puzzles.

Worth noting that I believe it is also on Gamepass and whatever Sony's version of Gamepass is called if you already had those services and wished to save a few bucks.
I think you might be misunderstanding op's comment. "Because the amoral drive for extreme wealth doesn't stop at a certain level of wealth" is a statement that I read on its face. One does not need to reach for "conspiracy" as a way to explain the behavior of people faced with an opportunity to acquire more money: just look at the 5-6 posts making the same point in this very sub-thread. Did you miss those or did you mean to post this reply somewhere else? Money is a huge motivator for many people.
The vetting on Windows is that basically any software that isn't signed by an EV certificate will show a scary SmartScreen warning on users' computers. Even if your users aren't deterred by the warning, you also have a significant chance of your executable getting mistakenly flagged by Windows Defender, and then you have to file a request for Microsoft to whitelist you.

The vetting on Mac is that any unsigned software will show a scary warning and make your users have to dig into the security options in Settings to get the software to open.

This isn't really proactive, but it means that if you ship malware, Microsoft/Apple can revoke your certificate.

If you're interested in something similar to this distribution model on Linux, I would check out Flatpak. It's similar to how distribution works on Windows/Mac with the added benefit that updates are handled centrally (so you don't need to write auto-update functionality into each program) and that all programs are manually vetted both before they go up on Flathub and when they change any permissions. It also doesn't cost any money to list software, unlike the "no scary warnings" distribution options for both Windows and Mac.
I'm in the habit of always opening a new chat because I change subjects quite often, and the LLM tends to randomly reference a previous question with more weight than it should.

Netflix and Spotify are designed this way because they're subscription services. They need to convince you they always have a lot of new stuff, all the time, so that you don't cancel your subscription.

They don't want you to think they're some static libraries of content. They make their websites like interactive billboards.
Is Spotify TikTok-ifying itself? I don't use either app. I wonder if songs will get shorter now that video content is getting preferably shorter.
I don't see that in practice. The headlines have historically been pretty blunt on a lot of wasteful spending. They openly discuss obvious waste in congress:

That's the nature of anything that does this kind of work. React, Svelte, Solid. Alpine has a CSP version but it does so little that I recommend you just accept being a Web1 MPA basic site.

I have ideas around ways around this but it's a per language template middleware.
The ICC has never issued any arrest warrants for our elected/appointed government officials if that's what you are asking.
I said neither that there are unambiguous interpretations (in fact I said the opposite, that all texts are intrinsically ambiguous but that does not make all interpretations equally sound)

Nor did I say "the court follows public opinion."

I said "courts will look to the public attitude to assess these arguments", which is true, and "SCOTUS decisions overwhelmingly align with cultural attitudes of their time" which is also true.

And yes, the Presidential immunity argument is exactly one such argument: the pro-dictator cultural movement in the US is significant and vocal, while the anti-dictator movement is full of equivocators like yourself who say, "well you know, the Constitution is a bit ambiguous on this point..."

So yes, actually, that decision is an excellent case in point, and a clear reason that SCOTUS should know the American public has no pseudo-intellectualized appetite for a third term.
What exactly do these two people do.

The marketing BS on their websites say alot of generic, motivational crack.

Could someone help me break down the real bread & butter of these firms and why people give them money?
A valid point! Clearly the correct solution would be for the kernel module to check if the filename contains the substring "32", and if so it should load it as a 32-bit binary.

I've been a perma-DST shill for decades and as soon as that becomes a possibility,

I hope that as RISC-V gains in support, there is a chance to experiment with a many-core version of it. Something like a hundred QERV cores on a chip. The lack of patents is a key enabler, and support for the ISA on more vanilla chips is the other enabler. This could happen.

The only pratical many-core I know of was the SPARC T-1000 series

Same, you control your signals and fragments. So you are responsible for proper escaping and thoughtful design.
It's also not helped that some of the early hip hop musicians have themselves become highly sought after session musicians and producers, that have in turn seeded certain sounds all over the musical map; several members of the Sugarhill rap label (most notably Keith leblanc and Doug Wimbish) have literally over 1000 credits, including NIN's debut, Public Enemy, P-Funk, and Jeff Beck, so much like how Jeff Porcaro of Toto created a certain drum sound endemic to the 80s, such patterns are going to be exacerbated by use of much of the same limited musician/production pool.

Hip hop is no more derivative than the blues or funk, but they are definitely more sample-friendly.
Not great but still better than defenestration I guess.
Not as much fun that way.

Dealing with NAT traversal especially with full-cone NATs is difficult and expensive - you have to maintain dedicated infrastructure of TURN servers for NAT and you have to proxy all your traffic through that, it's quite the overhead, especially since IPv4 addresses and bandwidth on AWS don't come cheap.
Signals have dependencies and subscribers. It's a value and publisher and subscriber if you want to be more correct.
Is this the first time a citizen has been required to accept an EULA to receive official government communications?

I have the feeling that the legality of this involves a bunch of concepts I don't know about.

E.g., what constitutes an official communication, and how accessible they're legally required to be.
Farmers don't work in perfect isolation and do have to interact with other economic sectors that keep to clock hours. However, I don't think the misalignment between civil time and solar time has ever been so severe (nor would it be under year-round DST) to pose a serious problem for them.
A friend got a routine physical and blood screening last week and to my surprise it included testing for lead acetate. I've never seen that before.
> is a disproportionate response

Sure, but when border agents are legally allowed to act as judges, juries and executioners on the spot, why is it surprising this happens?

They see hundreds or thousands of plane travelers pass by them per day maybe, they don't have time to assess each individual case by case. They're legally allowed to cut before measuring when they encounter someone who broke a law. They don't care that person didn't know the law.

This has nothing to do with the orange man, but with the powers border agents have at their discursion which inevitably results in both false positives and false negatives on a daily basis.
You have inspired me to do a quick Fisk-ing, in homage to rationality, remaining tethered to reality, and preferring some research before free-associating, if only to avoid information pollution.

(note: we can quickly discover footage from inside the Titanic that obviates all these points. Here, we endeavor to cover this from an angle of how you could detect the arguments presented were weak, without that knowledge)

* Difficult to navigate in a narrow underwater structure without crashing

Passenger ship? Too narrow for a drone?

* Signal penetration, or lack thereof, in an iron hull at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean

Wireless signals aren't used for companion submersibles.

* Extremely niche technology that would have few practical uses in other contexts since most of the seabed does not suffer from the same complexities as a shipwreck

The seabed does not have any tight spaces?

* Can't see for shit underwater in general

We are commenting on an article that reconstructed a massive ship as a 3D model via photographs underwater

* We already know whats down there and why it's down there, therefore unlikely to lead to significant new information

We are commenting on an article that reconstructed the ship from the exterior despite this same factor applying.

* This could actually be considered desecrating a mass grave under maritime law

Not even wrong. Just throwing stuff out there.
The airline ticketing industry is run by a massive pile of shared legacy code. (Except Southwest, which has a different pile of legacy code, as I understand it.) Changing it seems like a really big deal.

What I didn’t see in the article was anything about the motivation for this change. Why undertake such an expensive revision to boarding systems? Who is benefiting?
Show HN: Watch and organize multiple live video streams from multiple platforms
Hi HN!

This started as a weekend hack to tile a few YouTube streams on one screen. It’s since grown into a daily-use tool I now rely on. It’s called Panoptic, and it lets you watch and organize multiple live streams across platforms—side by side—in a single, shareable layout.

Panoptic features:

Drop video URLs from YouTube, Twitch, Kick, or TikTok into the page to instantly add them to the grid.

Save and organize collections of streams that you can reload or share via URL.

Import/export collections as JSON.

Browse “saved” and “featured” collections in a sidebar.

Fine-grained autoplay controls, reload buttons, and zero page refreshes.

Everything runs client-side—no backend, nothing stored remotely.

It’s built for big displays. The layout adapts to fit a lot of simultaneous streams, but it’s not practical on phones—so mobile access is intentionally disabled. This is very much a desktop-first tool.

I’ve found it useful for keeping tabs on things like:

financial market coverage from different channels

IRL streamers across different platforms

open camera feeds (space launches, beach cams, weather events)

or just background ambiance + Twitch coding streams :)

It’s still evolving, but I’d love feedback or ideas. I think of it as a minimal, cross-platform dashboard for live video—without needing a dozen tabs or browser extensions.

Try it: https://panoptic.live

Thanks!
Mike
As an amateur Linux user I've long thought of these .ko files and many other binaries as "magic", but no more! This article presents the concepts very naturally so it was easy to absorb.
Nice webpage/design, but what is the advantage over Openrouter that already has ~trillions tokens/month in traffic?
3 opinion pieces as evidence.

Not beating the allegations.

"You shouldn't trust the internationally-recognized and acclaimed and trusted Human Rights Watch, here are some opinions pieces that tell you the REAL truth!"
And you seem to be omitting that they won’t change given the demand won’t change.

In other words, people won’t just buy multiple iPhones just because it’s made locally.
Bias means you're more likely to amplify facts in your favor and discount those against you. I said nothing about reality. I 100% agree that the political left is far more detached from reality than the right, especially when it comes to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
I googled this and got a few different answers, but not this one. Is there a particular implementation you’re referring to?
> Israel Implemented More Measures to Prevent Civilian Casualties Than Any Other Nation in History

Well, they're not very good in preventing civilian casualties. I'm pretty sure they rank pretty fucking high on the list of causing civilian casualties, actually.

Most other nations don't need any such measures implemented since, you know, they don't commit genocide.

"You should be happy we didn't kill more people, because we could!" is not a particularly good argument for your cause.
Yep! ICE lets you try a bunch of different ports and protocols.

So you can have a remote peer and try to contact it via UDP/TCP/TLS. You can even attempt via multiple interfaces (Wifi and 5G).

You can then measure the packet loss/latency across these different paths and figure out which one is best.
Yes, but even in winter when we move back to standard time it's dark at 4 in the afternoon. I'd rather stay with DST year round.

A lot of jobs already offer time shifting where it's feasible. In many jobs it's not.
Likely yes, via TURN servers.
I'm not the person who responded, but I believe it came from a place of "what is art" (and you had used the word "artist").

My own position is that "art" can only be created by a human. AI can produce text, images, and sounds, and perhaps someday soon they can even create content that is practically indistinguishable from Picasso or Mozart, but they would still fail to be "art."

So sure, an AI can create assets to pad out commercials for trucks or sugary cereal, and they will more than suffice. Commercials and other similar content can be made more cheaply. Maybe that's good?

But I would never willingly spend my time or money engaging with AI "art." By that, I mean I would never attend a concert, watch a film, visit a museum, read a book, or even scroll through an Instagram profile if what I'm viewing is largely the output of AI. What would the point be?

I'll admit that there is some middle ground, where a large project may have some smaller pieces touched by AI (say, art assets in the background of a movie scene, or certain pieces of code in a video game). I personally err on the side of avoiding that when it is known, but I currently don't have as strong of an opinion on that.
I'll provide evidence, and you'll say "fake news". I know how this goes.

I don't think it's the first time. Ever since all these stupid idiotic SMS confirmations became a trend they've all effectively required you to accept a {Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile} EULA.
