We have Zuckerberg's emails. No need to claim anything. He said it out loud:

“There are network effects around social products and a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it’s difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different.”

“One way of looking at this is that what we’re really buying is time. Even if some new competitors springs up, buying Instagram, Path, Foursquare, etc now will give us a year or more to integrate their dynamics before anyone can get close to their scale again. Within that time, if we incorporate the social mechanics they were using, those new products won’t get much traction since we’ll already have their mechanics deployed at scale.”

Forty-five minutes later:

“I didn’t mean to imply that we’d be buying them to prevent them from competing with us in any way,”
It would be, but you could still store an expiration time, and limit the number of attempts to use the code. Considering you're probably sending it to the user insecurely anyway (via email or text message), that's probably safe enough.
Sometimes, good things are worth the wait. The two times that you accepted roles other than Google, did they turn out better than waiting for Google?

I am surprised that you accept. I would never waste my time. If these companies refuse to provide reasonable interview feedback, why would you provide it to them?

I have done a 3000 mile tour (Great Divide). The scariest parts were a highway section in southern colorado, and after I finished and was just biking around in El Paso, both because of cars.

It wasn't the bears or lightning or anything else, honest to god I experienced all that stuff and the scariest stuff was still people in cars.

Classic No-True-Scotsman here: "Oh, well, sure, they were prosecuted in contravention of my point above. But that means they wanted to prosecute them."

(It's also tautological: I mean, of course they wanted to prosecute them. They were criminals and prosecutors prosecute criminals, definitionally!)

(And also also, it's an Occam's violation: the simpler explanation is that they were just treated like criminals and not that they were double-negative enforcement actions by a corrupt regime.)
Ah, Windows OEM nonsense...

I've used Linux exclusively for 15 years so probably why my experience is so positive. Both Intel and AMD are pretty much flawless on Linux, drivers for both are in the kernel nowadays, AMD just wins slightly with their iGPUs.
Yeah this is how I interpret it. Type text into the chatbot, copy and paste the outputted code. If it fails to compile, paste the error message and get the resulting code. Similar if it fails at runtime. Supply the LLM with additional code files where necessary but don't really look at the code, just copy and paste in, copy and paste out.

I'm a couple of pages from finishing The Two Towers and feel like Frodo and Sam's journey there is an especially good example of the spaces between. They pass through a broad variety of landscapes and you get a great sense of the transitions from craggy rocks down gullies to marshes. Or from badlands to Ithilien.
It doesn't, I was expressing my personal opinion on what kind of license I'd choose.

However, that was a bit of a non sequitur to end the comment on, my apologies.
The problem with your questions (if the one above is an example) is that you're asking what can be seen as an insulting question that doesn't really add any nuance or analysis itself.

You could have asked the question while highlighting points in the governments letter that you thought were valid policy goals that you wanted more discussion about. You could have asked if they'd read the government letter and pointed out that the government telling the university that it both had to consider who it hired with regard to political and ethnic and to make personnel changes to demonstrate they didn't consider political and ethnic considerations going forward was particularly ridiculous.

You may still get downvoted for emotional(which you shouldn't) or other reasons but it would be less likely to be the case as it showed you made some effort (which can indicate good faith) and more importantly you're comment might inform someone reading the comments more about the topic as well.

Gee if only there was a middle ground between these two extremes and the market somehow sought to achieve that state. Perhaps some simple market regulations might achieve this? And some enforcement of those regulations fairly and reasonably? Maybe a specific agency tasked with this?
> Nearly every movie released by a major studio in the past year based on an original script or a little-known book has been a box-office disappointment. Before this weekend’s flops were Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Mickey 17” and “The Alto Knights,” Paramount’s “Novocaine,” Apple’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” Amazon’s “Red One,” and the independently financed “Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1” and “Megalopolis.”

These were all bad movies (Below 7 on IMDB), including "Drop". Most had a redeeming feature though.

The problem is multiverse that's bad still does OK, "Snow White" hopefully will make a loss but it's still pulled in $181 million so far.

2024 Box Office, hard to find an independent movie too low - https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/2024/

"Juror #2" is probably the worst as a solid movie for the genre and probably Clint Eastwood's last. It was mistreated by Warner Bros.
It's not implausible that we'll wind up with something like the extremely long-lasting market for COBOL developers. A niche skill that's absolutely essential in a few places, and which can command high salaries as a result... for a few people. Only so many huge legacy banking systems, after all.

The problem, as with COBOL, would be the loss of the existing pipeline that created new competent high-level developers.
You're not missing anything. A generation of programmers has been raised to believe platforms like Vercel / Next.js are not only normal, but ideal.

Right I looked it up. They bought Instagram in 2012 and tried to buy Snapchat a year later.

Since it didn't happen it's pretty moot to the discussion. M&As with massive market consolidation like that get challenged all the time in courts so it's hard to say what would have happened then.

FTC investigated the Instagram purchase in 2012 and chose not to interfere.

So failed acquisition doesn't make buying Instagram inherently an anticompetitive move, just maybe can be spun as their strategy at the time, but a decade later the market still has plenty of players so it will be a tough case to make. Although even a failed case gives the government leverage over Meta with threats of future ones so they might not care.
They oughta call it YOLO coding, in that case, though I suppose that slang is over a decade out of fashion.

There is literally no market for FPGA as coprocessor/accelerator and there never was (that was some kind of pipe/hype dream before GPGPU took off). Where there is a market for them (prototyping ASICs, automotive, whatever, network switches, etc) there is no replacement but there is also no growth.
Hi,

> Also, the author struggled to check their implementation. One can easily compare an implementation of many websites by grabbing the QR codes they use for login and importing into your favorite authenticator app and also decoding the QR code to get the secret.

Can you clarify this? It's been some time since I have written the code, AFAIK it was working fine. Did you see any discrepencies when you tested the implementation against a real authenticator app?
Copy paste? Use something like desktop commander and just let it edit the files for you directly. It'll even run commands to test it out. Or go further and use Cline/RooCode and if you're building a webapp it'll load your page in a small browser, screenshot the contents, and send that to the model. The copy-paste stuff is beginner mode.
This made me remember Fleet[0], which I used in the past on CoreOS. It was a very good abstraction for my simple cluster. It felt as robust as a managed cloud service. It's a shame it didn't catch on (and also what happened to CoreOS).

‘Vibe coding’ isn’t software engineering.

It throws away decades of software engineering principles in favour of unchecked AI output by clicking “accept all” on the output.

You would certainly NOT use ‘vibe coded’ slopware that powers key control systems in critical infrastructure such as energy, banking, hospitals and communications systems.

The ones pushing “vibe coding” are the same ones who are all invested in the AI companies that power it (and will never disclose that).

An incident involving using ‘vibe coded’ slopware is just waiting to happen.
Obtuse and missing the point on purpose.

For a docker-compose replacement you should probably look at the 'podman kube' support. That supports a subset of the kubernetes API that roughly matches the docker-compose features.

Then for deployment to a Kubernetes cluster you can reuse your podman kube yaml.

For deployment to a single machine where the full Kubernetes is overkill, you can use the podman quadlet support. Quadlets support a "[Kube]" section where you can point to the yaml file, so you don't have to write all your port and volume etc mappings again in a slightly different syntax.
I wish I had an AMD card. Instead our work laptops are X1 extremes with discrete nvidia cards and they are absolutely infuriating. The external outputs are all routed through the nvidia card, so one frequently ends up with the fan blowing on full blast when plugged into a monitor. Moreover, when unplugging the laptop often fails to shutdown the discrete graphics card so suddenly the battery is empty (because the discrete card uses twice the power). The Intel card on the other hand seems to prevent S3 sleep when on battery, i.e. the laptop starts sleeping and immediately wakes up again (I chased it down to the Intel driver but couldn't get further).

And I'm not even talking about the hassle of the nvidia drivers on Linux (which admittedly has become quite a bit better).

All that just for some negligible graphics power that I'm never using on the laptop.
Tubeless can be a pain but it is exceedingly good at dealing with the small annoying punctures. Pretty typical to not notice a puncture at all before it seals. Caveats: for some reason pinch flats in the sidewall seal poorly, and the sealant must be kept somewhat fresh.

The one time I had it fail me entirely, it was in New Mexico where the goathead thorns are relentless. I had about a dozen thorns in each tire, and my half dried up sealant was no longer up to the task. Still hard to imagine going back to tubes, even though I carry lightweight TPU tubes as backups.
I'm in the job search right now but I wrote my own little tool to scrape linkedIn.

It's a simple automation which searches through 10 pages of job postings and stores the results in a log file.

This alone is helpful because it helps me avoid getting distracted by all the non-job related aspects of linkedIn; click-bait headlines, cringe posters etc.

In addition it also filters out jobs that it has seen before. I found that the exact same job can be posted again with a different ID so I use a hash of the job description as the ID.

I also have filters for certain words like "7+" which I assume means 7+ years of experience which I don't have. It's not perfect but it works well enough. I hate reading a job posting which looks decent only to find hidden near the end that they want someone with over a decade of experience.

After a few days of using this tool consistently, I'll reach a saturation point which means that after going through the first 10 pages it will not find any new job.

That's not a bad thing. That's actually the goal. It means that when an actual new job is posted, my tool will help me see it through all the clutter.

The saturation point gives me a goal to reach every day. Instead of some arbitrary goal like sending out 10 applications or spending 1 hour every day, my goal is always to keep going until I reach the saturation point. This encourages me to be consistent and gives me a reasonable stopping point.
It's not so much that it seems quaint, it's that we are accustomed to short-term, transactional, Wall Street thinking from companies like Google.

For very good reason, because that's exactly how they behave in all other areas. The question remains, why do they appear altruistic when it comes to sharing papers?

I find it hard to believe that it's actual altruism. It's far more likely that it's transactional behavior that just appears altruistic from the outside.
> I'm not even sure what "outdated certificate data" could be...

Agree.

> According to the article:

Thanks, I did read that, it's not quite what I meant though. Suppose a security engineer at your company proposes that users should change their passwords every 49 days to "minimise prolonged exposure from compromised credentials" and encourage the uptake of password managers and passkeys.

How to respond to that? It seems a noble endeavour. To prioritise, you would want to know (at least):

a) What are the benefits - not mom & apple pie and the virtues of purity but as brass tacks - e.g: how many account compromises do you believe would be prevented by this change and what is the annual cost of those? How is that trending?

b) What are the cons? What's going to be the impact of this change on our customers? How will this affect our support costs? User retention?

I think I would have a harder time trying to justify the cert lifetime proposal than the "ridiculously frequent password changes" proposal. Sure, it's more hygenic but I can't easily point to any major compromises in the past 5 years that would have been prevented by shorter certificate lifetimes. Whereas I could at least handwave in the direction of users who got "password stuffed" to justify ridiculously frequent password changes.

The analogy breaks down in a bad way when it comes to evaluating the cons. The groups proposing to decrease cert lifetimes bear nearly none of the costs of the proposal, for them it is externalised. They also have little to no interest in use cases that don't involve "big cloud" because those don't make them any money.

This is literally the sort of empowerment that can be truly awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!
I love this so much. It's hacky, janky, and absolutely phenomenal and life changing. This is like perfectly in the spirit of the hacker ethos. This dude scraped together pieces around him and made a useful product that solves the problems he wants to solve, the way he wants to solve them.

The code is probably garbage. You can tell the UI is weird and jumpy. He's using timed delays to manipulate the browser with keyboard keys. The whole thing would be absolutely shredded here. But it's beautiful. It's crafted for function over form with duct tape and bubble gum but it's the difference between his brother being locked helplessly alone in his body, or being able to express himself and have some level of autonomy. It's just awesome.

LLMs rule for this kind of stuff. Solve your problems and move on. The code is not so precious. You'll learn many things along the way and will be able to iterate quickly with a tireless and semi competent but world knowledgeable assistant.
Yep just do it.

He is just one person. He happens to be the most famous scientist working on this field at the moment it became a gold rush, but it's work built on the shoulders of those who came before, whose discoveries are just as important.
Thank you for the response here. Not being able to upgrade the machine without completely re-indexing has actually become a huge issue for me. My use case is that I need to upgrade the machine to perform a big indexing operation that happens all at once and then after that reduce the machine resources. Typesense has future plans to persist the index to disk but it's not on the road map yet. And with the indexing improvements, Meilisearch may be a viable option for my use case now. I'll be checking this out!

MCP Server Wrapper for Lisp and Lisp-Like Systems
Hi, this ["Lisply MCP"](https://github.com/gornskew/lisply-mcp) project started out as a "quick hack" to get Claude Desktop driving my [Common Lisp based backend](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/gendl/gendl), and ended up as a generic Node.js wrapper meant to work with pretty much [any language backend which can support "eval" and http](https://github.com/gornskew/lisply-mcp/blob/master/BACKEND-R...) . By default, it comes configured to work with an existing reference-implementation backend [CL-based container image](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/gendl/gendl/-/tree/master/gwl...) which it will pull and run on-demand. An [Emacs Lisp backend](https://github.com/gornskew/skewed-emacs/blob/master/dot-fil...) is in progress.
Procedural Foliage Rendering with L-Systems and Geometry Instancing
Yeah, the most important part of that video is where he says: "it works well enough". I think there's lots of room for this kind of bespoke software that's fundamentally unmaintainable -- and not something anyone could reasonably afford to make with professionals -- but good enough for purpose. This seems like a great, life-changing example, but it's still subject to the same thing the article is talking about.

I've had some free time recently so I've been trying to use the various AI tools to do a greenfield project with Rails. I know the stack intimately, so it's been a useful exercise as a check against hype. While I can occasionally trust the tooling to make big changes, most of the time I find that even the small changes are wrong in some important, fundamental way that requires re-writing everything at a later time. Asking the models to fix whatever is broken usually results in an endless cycle of (very junior-like!) random changes, and eventually I just have to go in and figure out the fundamental restructure that fixes the issue.

Would this be good enough for someone writing a one-time-use, bespoke piece of software? Maybe. Would they be able to maintain this code, without having a truly senior-level ability to work with the code itself? No [1].

I'm less fearful of LLM taking experienced programmers' jobs [2], because I fundamentally think this kind of stuff plays in the same end of the market as knockoff designer goods, Ikea furniture, and the like. It makes custom software available to an entire customer segment that couldn't have afforded it before, but nobody is going to confuse it with a product made by a team of skilled professionals [3,4].

[1] But to a really inexperienced developer, it looks the same.

[2] I am more fearful of clueless business types, who think this technology obviates the need for programmers.

[3] ...but will unskilled professionals be under pressure? Maybe!

[4] ...and what about skilled people, using the same tools? My current hypothesis is they're beneficial, but ask me again in six months.

I don't think your complaint/experience actually lines up with the numbers here.

In the Post-Series A numbers, the lowest numbers are in the ~0.5% range. This is at most 2 figures off what the founders could get together. In a world where founders together got 9 figures, a senior engineer would get 7 figures, not 5 figures like in your situation.
Show HN: Real-time AI analysis of Trump's posts on financial markets within 30s
Hey HN, I built TrumpPosted to track the potential financial market impact of Donald Trump's social media posts in near real-time.

It works by:
Scraping his posts almost immediately.

Sending the post content + metadata to an AI (Llama 3.3 70b via Groq) for analysis against specific financial subjects (stocks, bonds, crypto, or user-defined like 'Tesla stock').

The AI generates a headline, market sentiment score (0-100), summary, attitude analysis, and detailed commentary.

Subscribers get email alerts within ~30 seconds containing this analysis tailored to their chosen subject.

All analyses are viewable on the site and browseable via a dynamic archive.

Built with Next.js, MongoDB, Groq API (Batch + Single), Apify, and Mailgun.

It's purely an informational tool (NOT financial advice – see the disclaimer!) meant to highlight potential volatility triggers and provide AI-driven perspectives.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Thanks - Jay Qin

realistically speaking, it is likely not possible to deliver envelop from China at 75c cost, its likely someone else is paying for your 75c envelops (like taxpayers through subsidies).
They don't care about taxes - they are happy to implement regressive taxes that disproportionately burden the middle class and poor, such as sales taxes, Social Security, etc. They just don't want to pay taxes themselves.
I don't blame them for it, but I find it amusing how they present this as some wonderful new technology as opposed to simply that they're playing catch up with the other cloud providers offerings
