> It is slow and worse, not accurate at all, when you have any actual data (100+ items you’re actively working with), clunky interface, and is good if you’re a student taking notes and making forms, or doing something casual before you need something robust.

I wish I could convince the people I work with of the same thing. Though I don't really have a better alternative either.
> we're seeing a smarter form of disappearance, one where we know who took them, we know where they end up

Nobody is saying due process was followed. But do you really not see why the government saying “we have no record of this person and do not comment on matters of national security,” to the press and to the courts, would not be worse?

> didn't engage with the hypothetical and changed the situation

How did I change the situation?

> On this topic, I think reasonable people can disagree, which we clearly do

On Trump defying the courts, yes. On the definition of disappearance, I don’t think so.

> it feels like an evolution of KGB tactics that adds some documentation, but the outcome is precisely the same

You couldn’t sue to get your family—and information about them—out of the Gulag. Disappearance is where detention blurs into execution. We’re simply not there. Nobody is able to claim Garcia is on vacation, we have to confront the fact that he’s been extrajudicially detained.

Soooo you want freedom of speech but if you don't like what someone else is doing, you want to censor them?

And even the reps don't mind this?

How hypocratic do you have to be to want to get rid of the 'Wokeshit' which is freespeech while also advocating for free speech?

Btw. the real term for what type of speech radicals and nazis is abusive speech and yes there are good reasons why abusive speech should lead to consequences
I think a person who has liked every single piece of food (in edible condition, to use your phrase) they've ever put into their mouths is a pretty rare specimen.
Cool project, but I can't understand why they created their own protocol rather than just building this on ActivityPub
I don't understand this comment. Like yes, 3000 stars per second, cool fact. But why would that fact make sense in the article? The article was about being surprised by the name "SN 2021 afdx", which has nothing to do with star formation.

In my opinion the article was great and is also complete. More cool astronomy facts belong in some other article or format.
They're trying to build a moat by leaving out features that rely on other services. I wonder how that will work out for them.
Agree on both.
As things like the PIO on the rp line of micros gets more common, micros will have IO that can match FPGAs. For low end, micros are generally good enough or gain NPU compute cores. It’s the IO that differentiates FPGAs.
What would prevent Vietnam or Botswana do make political moves 20 years down the line? Surely it is not their economic reliance on you, as China clearly demonstrates.

I see exactly zero point in repeating the example of China again. Why would the outcome be different? Vietnam is another Communist pseudo-dictatorship. Why is this one so different that it won't support Russia?
yes I don't like security decisions forced upon me, that's reasonable. if I want a throwaway email, I don't need MFA because I don't care if the account is compromised. but I don't get to make that decision because Google decided for me that my account will have forced MFA
"If you're into it, you already pay through the nose for those"

I'd double-check that their claim doesn't apply to my usage and if I'm confident about that, I'd reply saying so and just carry on. There's no need to do more unless Figma (in this case) decides to press the issue.
It overproduces credentialed morons. Giving someone a degree doesn't confer talent. And when you insist on an ever increasing percentage of the population attend college, the result is exactly as you would expect.
Amending the Constitution to create a judicial law enforcement agency would not, in itself, be a Constitutional crisis. Or if you meant that such an agency could then cause one, yeah that could happen in theory, but so could the Executive causing a crisis because the courts don't have an enforcement arm. And to act like the President causing the crisis isn't the more likely scenario in 2025 would be stupifyingly ignorant.
Is this integrating with Notion-Workspaces and their abilities? Because this could be really useful, but except the editor, I don't see any mention of regular notion-features.
It tells you the entity which holds the key is the actual owner of myfavouriteshoes.com, and not just a random guy operating the free Wi-Fi hotspot at the coffee shop you're visiting. If you don't care about that then why even bother with encryption in the first place?
Great question!

We've heard from users who've tried both that our AI reviewer tends to catch more meaningful issues with less noise, that's really something you should try for yourself and find out! (The great thing is that it's really easy to start using)

Beyond the AI agent itself (which is somewhat similar to CodeRabbit), our biggest differentiation comes from the human review experience we've built. Our goal was to create a Linear-like review workflow designed to help human reviewers understand and merge code faster.
right now the right winger courts are appalled at what the right winger executive is doing, so I don't think it's the right time to be "both sides"ing this.
Is this tied to Gmail because Notion is hoping to be acquired by Google (Workspace)?

(Notion + Workspace would be an incredibly strong offering for startups ... if it was all integrated/owned by the same company)
Good interview, I don't remember seeing a president of the EU commission ever talking this much sense. The part on digital services is something I've brought up multiple times in the tariffs discussions as predictably, I haven't seen any US outlet point it out, even those extremely critical about the tariffs. Even on HN.

Of course, that she's saying the right things says nothing about whether she will actually enact them. The longer term response to the tariffs will reveal everything. If the EU simply lets the US get away with adding 10% and getting nothing in return - or even worse, if the EU gives up the DMA, GDPR or other things for appeasement purposes - then her words will be meaningless. If the 10% stays, a 10% DST is the minimum to respond with.
In some sense though- every 'problem' is emotional. As in, if your problem is someone not doing the dishes your problem is that you feel like you deserve a clean kitchen and what your roommate is doing isn't fair. There's logical steps inbetween but the start of it is a feeling of being hurt and bothered. Same with any other problem, if you are dispasionate enough things cease to be problems and just are.

So to me, I see validating emotions as another way of saying: 'we share the same goals, there is a problem and we agree on what it is, so we can work towards a solution together'
Americans need to take pay cuts so we can bring back high-paying manufacturing jobs!

/sarcasm, or summary of other discourse in this thread?
they're certainly working on it in this comments section
Genuinely curious about what the full script would look like in consideration of your feedback.
That should be an Access database.
It kicked off a feedback loop. The best scientists and engineers wanted to work on the projects that were 10 years ahead. As a result US companies were at the forefront of new technology and developments… attracting the next generation of the best scientists and engineers.

This was quite robust until <group that disagrees with my political opinions> screwed it up for ideological reasons (fortunately, I guess, I can say this in a non-partisan manner because everybody thinks the other side blew it. My side is correct, though, of course).
Is there an equivalent law for "every enterprise app eventually adds product management features"? Slack, Google Sheets and Miro are all guilty of this. I just want chat, pivot tables and diagrams but every update is like "we just added a Gantt Chart and Task Workflow templates guys!"
Show HN: Chonkie Cloud – No-nonsense chunking now on the the cloud
Hey HN,

We’re the developers of Chonkie, a powerful and easy-to-use chunking library. Last November, we introduced Chonkie OSS here on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42100819) and got some fantastic feedback. Today, we’re excited to share Chonkie Cloud, a fully hosted service for chunking, along with new tools to make building and debugging RAG systems easier than ever.

---

A quick recap for context:

We launched Chonkie as an open-source project late last year. A few weeks ago, we decided to go full-time on it. Unfortunately, this shift wasn’t as smooth as we had hoped. Due to some legal stuff, we had to rebuild the entire project from scratch in a new repo.

Restarting sucked but it gave us the chance to clean things up and build something faster, cleaner, and better. You can check out the new repo here: https://github.com/chonkie-inc/chonkie

---

What we're launching today:

- Chonkie Cloud – A fully hosted chunking service. Just send in your texts and get chunks back. It supports all our chunkers and comes with a playground to help visualize RAG. Try it out: https://chonkie.cloud (no credit card required)

- Chonkie Recipes – Predefined chunking configs to help you quickly get started. If you're not sure which settings to use, just find the closest match in our recipes. These work with the Recursive and Late chunkers. Available here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/chonkie-ai/recipes

- Chonkie Vizard – A tool to visualize chunking output during development. If you've ever debugged with print statements full of dashes and stars, this is for you.

Installation: pip install "chonkie[viz]"

Example usage (1) : viz.print(chunks) # Print in terminal

Example usage (2): viz.save("out.html", chunks) # Save for later

---

What's next:

- A code chunker

- File “chefs” to help clean and prepare data

- Integrations with vector DBs and data extraction tools

- Support for more languages (typescript is #1 on our list)

---

We’d love feedback on what we’re building. If you have feature requests or ideas, please open an issue on the repo (https://github.com/chonkie-inc/chonkie) or comment here.

Thank you!

Nixon and Reagan also tried to bring back manufacturing, we all know now that it didn't work. And I'm sure their plan wasn't as chaoticas Trump's, in case he has one.
Have you tried caddy? Each TLS protected site winds up being literally a couple lines in a config file. Renewals are automatic. Unless you have a network / DNS problem, it is set and forget. It is far simpler than dealing with manual cert renewals, downloading the certificates, restarting your web server (or forgetting to...)
Dunno why the internet enjoys dunking so much on a poor anonymous poster who guessed wrong about a product that would catch on, whether that's the iPod, the iPad, Dropbox, etc.

We don't seem to spend half as much energy taking major news outlets to task when they similarly guess wrong, unless we feel that somehow adding a question mark negates any responsibility (i.e. "The Ouya will revolutionize gaming" vs. "Will the Ouya revolutionize gaming?").
Just because it can't be done or doesn't happen on reddit doesn't mean that it can be done or happens elsewhere.
The problem can't always be resolved or even compromised on satisfactorily, however. So you have a game theoretic 2x2 matrix of options:

* Validate emotions + solve the problem: Most people consider this excellent service, and some people consider it at least adequate. Very few people will complain about this.

* Do not validate + solve the problem: Some consider this excellent, most consider this adequate, some consider this a slight even though the problem is solved.

* Validate + not solve: Most people will be annoyed, but at least be civil about it because you've been civil to them. A few will lash out, but they were going to anyway.

* Not validate + not solve: Virtually nobody likes this.

The game theoretic optimal solution for a service provider is to always validate, and hopefully solve the problem as well.

Give me examples of websites which doesn’t have any kind of member system in place.

Forums? Nope. Blogging platforms? Nope. News sites? Nope. Wordpresss powered personal page? Nope. Mailing lists with web based management? Nope. They all have members.

What doesn’t have members or users? Static webpages. How much of the web is a completely static web page? Negligible amount.

So most of the sites have much more to protect than meets the eye.

It is not propaganda that POTUS is blackmailing law firms that represent his opponents and universities he doesn't like, and "suggesting" a revocation of broadcast licenses due to unfavorable coverage.

It is not propaganda that he has signed executive orders directing the DOJ to investigate individuals who have made statements he doesn't like but were never suspected of any crime.

It is not propaganda that America is now illegally (according to court rulings) renditioning people from the US to incarceration facilities in another country with no conviction, no charges, and no sentence -- indeed, no due process at all -- and illegally (according to court rulings) circumventing habeas corpus, a principle of proto-democracy since the 12th century.

It is not propaganda that the administration is willfully ignoring rulings by SCOTUS.

These are the basic facts. It is also a fact that these, or similar, things have not happened in US history outside of some extreme events such as the Civil War or world wars.

Whether or not you integrate these extreme and highly unusual actions that go against basic tenets of democracy and reach a conclusion of "danger" or not is up to you, but if anyone does reach such a conclusion, it would clearly not be "just propaganda" or even "mostly just propaganda".
> Sorry, but I want all the visibility I can get.

I can understand that, but the various AI companies pounding sourcehut into the ground also results in zero visibility.
The charitable interpretation (see first comment) stands, though. It remains that the motivation on the internet, like the motivation in a comedy club, is not a reflection of the motivation found elsewhere. The venue is significant.
The term "food" is not defined in a universally agreed-upon way. A delicacy in some cultures is offal or garbage in another.

I can buy "I'll eat anything." If what you mean is "I like everything that someone somewhere will consider to be food," well, color me skeptical.
What would be those? Serious question, not picking a fight.
Sahil Lavingia founder of Gumroad is DOGE. Joe Gebbia co-founder of Airbnb is DOGE. Not sympathetic to, they are DOGE. Those are just the ones I know off the top of my head from listening to basic reporting. The All In podcast is super pro-Trump/DOGE, with Sacks being the Trump regime's crypto czar (bringing that cohort on board). Peter Thiel. Musk. That's a lot of pro-DOGE headspace in HN related circles. A lot of people that HN related circles look up to and aspire to emulate. A lot of people that HN circles network with/have perverse incentives to support.

That is not a loophole. Also prison labor tends to be "unskilled", so useless and even counterproductive in manufacturing roles the US would need if they were to compete with China.
This is amazing! But beware admin, it seems that the RAM can be hijacked and increased...
I'm not talking about billionairs or the ultra wealthy. I am talking about the 60-90% top earners category.

You can cut out the top 10% of earners in the country and it still wouldn't do much to change the situation for those in the <60% earning percentiles.

To put it short; the reason you cannot afford a home isn't because of Bezos, Musk, and Blakrock. It's because the other bidders have STEM masters degrees and dual income high paying jobs, and probably a few hints of financial literacy thrown in too.
All of these points are overstated or just flat out wrong. For example the price of cheap manufacturing labor in America isn't higher than it looks, it's much lower, because there are an extremely large number of NEET men.

The iphone, while impressive, is not the end all be all of American manufacturing. The major goal is to bring back tool makers and increase industrial density.

>Chinese manufacturing labor isn’t just cheaper. It’s better.

>In China, there are no people who are too fat to work.

This is obviously just dumb anti-american propaganda. Since this article isn't written in good faith it's not worth my time to debunk point by point.
What a sad day. It's the best page on the net by a wide margin. Hope they'll recover
They definitely have a PR issue then. Because of the handful of events, I've never been interested in hanging out there.

From some of the comments though, there might have been nice boards I would have enjoyed.

HN works for me though. (I can only spread myself so thin.)

I honestly thought Salesforce was leaning this direction with Quip and Slack. Granted, Quip was never a good product. So I guess that fumbled.
Great questions!

For applying code changes with one-click: we keep suggestions deliberately conservative (usually obvious one-line fixes like typos) precisely to minimize risks of breaking things. Of course, you should confirm suggestions first.

Regarding AI reviewers being "too nice" and missing obvious mistakes—yes, that's a common issue and not easy to solve! We've approached it partly via prompt-tuning, and partly by equipping the AI with additional tools to better spot genuine mistakes without nitpicking unnecessarily. Lastly, we've added functionality allowing human reviewers to give immediate feedback directly to the AI—so it can continuously learn to pay attention to what's important to your team.
happy user here—our team moved from coderabbit to mrge, and everyone seems to love how much more useful the AI comments are
The State of Authorization – 2025
I tried out an early version when I did some work at notion last year, just tried it again and it's honestly a lot better than I expected. The design is good as expected from a notion product, but it's actually lot snappier than I thought. Faster than the notion app lol. It's probably a consequence of not having too much legacy code, but still impressive nevertheless! Esp in a world of slow nextjs apps lol.
Vibe wise, it kinda feels kinda like superhuman but 0 instead of $30/mo lol.

Tbh, I can also kinda see the vision that notion is pitching to investors now - the entire productivity suite, but redesigned and enhanced with AI. I'm not a power user of email/calendar by any means, but find myself using their calendar and mail client. I have no doubt the next generation of Tiktok girlies will eat this up like crazy. I don't use much of their AI stuff, but can also see how business can really find it useful.

GJ Notion team!
Glad they're open-sourcing it, since "Accessibility" falls under the umbrella of the dreaded "DEI", which means we can expect to see any government-funding for it dry up.
Yeah, cultural difference.

Coming from Europe I think the sarcasm was pretty obvious. More like "duh".
Especially when those retuns usually go to landfill instead of being restocked
Even worse, it's a toy that people build elaborate things out of and then use them for business-critical functions. It's incredibly irritating to work with a Notion power user.

It must be great if you're a control freak, though. Get leadership to recognize your Notion doc as the source of truth, and then you get absolute control because nobody else wants to touch it.

The "de minimis" exemption, which previously allowed low-value packages (under $800) from China to enter the U.S. duty-free, is being phased out. This change, announced by the White House, will impact popular e-commerce platforms like Temu and Shein, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers. The de minimis exemption is being ended because it's being seen as a trade loophole that allows low-value goods to enter the country without paying import duties. The change is expected to take effect on May 2, with a new system in place to collect duties on small-value packages.

Well you have until May 2nd to order tarrif free fyi. Most people dont realuze this.
I'd argue that by solving their problem, you are agreeing with their feeling that whatever was happening was a problem worth fixing. So in essense, validating it.

I can't really think of what #2 would look like (solve but not validate)
