You can always just disable issues and all other feedback channels. I judge companies on the state of their open source libraries, but it really depends on how the company positions it. Facebook pushed for react to become the default framework, so they deserve the scrutiny when it doesn’t hold up. However, with a clear disclaimer like that? I think that people would have different expectations.
Show HN: Helix – India's AI and Neurotech Framework for Predictive Public Safety
I’ve been working on HELIX, a conceptual security framework that aims to tackle crime, terrorism, and exploitation using AI, behavioral analytics, DNA-Aadhaar fusion, and a forward-looking roadmap for non-invasive neural signal analysis.
Unlike traditional law enforcement models, HELIX is built around predictive intelligence—detecting high-risk behaviors and threats before they escalate. Core elements include:
• AI-driven behavioral tracking in geo-fenced zones
• DNA-Aadhaar ID fusion for high-precision identification
• ExposeHub, a citizen-facing app for real-time, verified reporting
• A proposed Neuro-ID Surveillance layer (aspirational, non-invasive) for long-term evolution
• A governance-first approach: ethics, "neural rights", and transparent oversight are baked in from the start
While still in conceptual stages, the proposal outlines legal frameworks, pilot deployment models, and ethical safeguards (e.g., anti-bias audits, no social scoring). We're aiming for a system that is both technologically ambitious and ethically grounded.
The full whitepaper is available: Desci Nodes with a novelty content score of 95%.
We’d love feedback from the HN community—especially around:
• Feasibility and limits of predictive neural tech
• How to responsibly fuse personal identifiers (like DNA + biometrics)
• Ways to prevent misuse or drift into authoritarian surveillance
Ask Me Anything — thoughts, concerns, critiques all welcome.
Yes, you reject the first offer and make a counter offer. That is how negotiating works. You ask for more than you expect to get to find out what the limit is that the other party will go up to. How else would you find the limit? You don't know what the other party is thinking or what all of their priorities are. You can't just magically intuit it a priori.
Doh! Ray! Me!
> If it's so easy, then why do people die from having lesions misdiagnosed as benign?

You're confusing False Negatives with True Negatives. For Non-Benign (Positive) vs. Benign (Negative) classification:

* True Positive Rate (TPR): non-benign classified as non-benign.

* False Positive Rate (FPR): benign misclassified as non-benign.

* True Negative Rate (TNR): benign classified as benign.

* False Negative Rate (FNR): non-benign misclassified as benign.

> It's quite easy to correctly classify 100% of benign cases as benign.

You can engineer a 100% TNR if you just classify everything as the "benign" negative class. The FNR is going to be 100% too, but that doesn't matter -- you correctly classified 100% of benign cases as benign.

> why do people die from having lesions misdiagnosed as benign?

Because the FNR is not 0%. FNR is important. You probably want a decent TPR in there as well. And FPR can be very important too, depending on how life-changing/painful/invasive the treatment for a positive case is!

One of the genuinely positive things about tools like Copilot and ChatGPT is that they empower people with minimal development experience to create their own programs. Little programs that do useful things - and that’s awesome. More power to the users.

I've changed my outlook on vibe coding after seeing the results of this wholesome vibe coding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pJUXocn7aE .

This guy didn't just make a small program, he made a product that is attuned to some very stringent requirements. If you gave this project to experienced software developers it would be heavy on process and light on impact, take forever to make, and stupid expensive.
Neither of these cases are more readable, if you want a readable swap can you get better than:

const [newA,newB]=swap(b,a);

It does look a lot like linq, and has the same hidden complexity problem of linq.. while C# went through extreme lengths to optimise the performance penalties down to almost negligible - JS isn't there yet (and may never be after requiring multiple engines to catch up). An individual function in a chain of drop/jump/take/filter/change(map)/cast steps cannot look ahead to future needs, nor re-order for better efficiency... a (good) software engineer can. In the same way there's good ways to write SQL (benefit from indexes and reduce the set quickly) and bad (cause full table scans).
it depends if you're using stdio or http. the former gets credentials from the environment and the latter oauth.
>Cancer incidence is flat to slightly decreased since then

This is a nonsensical point because it can trivially both be true that cancer rates fall overall while CT scans cause additional cases of cancer. The comparison has to be, and that's what the original paper did, how many additional cases of cancer do you get from radiation in particular, that is to say cancer incidence could obviously be even lower all other things being equal.
For a quick institution specific overview, see “with donor restrictions” on page 20-21 (pdf page 21-22) of their most recent annual report[0].

I’d imagine “maintain and invest the original contribution in perpetuity” covers majority of the restricted funds, with use-specific restrictions in a distant but comfortable second. Since it’s Harvard, they probably also have more funky restrictions than the average bear (gifts of stock in kind with restrictions on timing of sale, voting, etc.).

The social security "tax" should really be conceptualized as an investment, not a tax. The typical fast food worker has probably not passed the first bend point in the Social Security PIA formula, meaning that social security is giving them 90 cents on the dollar*. You, with your fancy tech job, are likely well past the second bend point: social security is only giving you 15 cents on the dollar* (and nothing, obviously, for earnings beyond the payroll tax ceiling).

It's a progressive system overall - but it wasn't designed for the purpose of wealth redistribution, hence the payroll tax ceiling.

* More precisely, their monthly benefit at full retirement age increases by 90 cents for each additional dollar of pre-retirement average monthly earnings, whereas yours only increases by 15 cents.
I felt similar reading that book. She seems very clear that she wants to develop paradigmatic physics, and wants Assembly Theory to be paradigmatic, but there's not a lot of meat on the bone.
That's what I ended up doing since I was using a CH32V305. It is amusing how many ways you can initialize the display into weird modes like "upside down" or "thinks there's 64 vertical pixels when there's only 32".

I wish they were available in slightly larger models-- even if it's only 128x64, there are plenty of spots where a 5-8cm display would be more legible than the 3cm or less ones that are common,
Further advancements in litigation will likely reveal additional information.
It is even shorter without boilerplates:

counter = struct.pack('>Q', counter)
mac = hmac.new(key, counter, digest).digest()
offset = mac[-1] & 0x0f
binary = struct.unpack('>L', mac[offset:offset+4])[0] & 0x7fffffff
return str(binary)[-digits:].zfill(digits)

def totp(key, time_step=30, digits=6, digest='sha1'):
return hotp(key, int(time.time() / time_step), digits, digest)

> Or there is a commercial logic that motivates sharing of information and intellectual property? What logic is that?

There absolutely is a sound commercial justification to share research: long-term growth through advancement of the field. (Deep learning would never have made the progress it has without open research!)

If this seems quaint, it’s because we’re too accustomed to short-term, transactional, Wall Street thinking.

Mistral is not SOTA.
I no longer have access to Lexus but try searching using 'moot transfer loss/lack of standing/jurisdiction correctional facility'. US Prisons have sections of facilities so bad for potential mental damage inmates can only remain in them for 3 months max but nothing is done to enforce that limit. If inmates file and start to have success they do finally get moved but they then lose standing regarding the conditions (while other inmates are then put in the freed up unfit cell). The feds move jurisdiction strategically, not so much they lose 'good faith' from the courts but more than is acceptable when they are using it specifically to undermine access to the courts/civil rights, prevent rulings on cells/wings ruled unfit for more than short term, etc.

And when transfered you get diesel therapy. Every new prison situation presents threat to life risks, so being introduced to potentially a dozen new situations (you get placed in a new prison situation each nights stopover) during transit is something US inmates try to minimize (unfortunately timed transfers (oops, BOP mistake, sorry, we didn't mean for you to miss meals, just a timing mistake) causing missing breakfast/dinner so you often get just a single bologna sandwiches/orange in a day, plus the whole pissing yourself, inability to wipe yourself because you are shackled, and you aren't getting unshackled to use the toilet on your 12 hour ride, etc, etc google Diesel Therapy).

I agree they may not and that’s very interesting. As an experienced developer myself I’m starting to think these tools are likely going to increase our market value not decrease it.
I've spent several decades writing software. Got laid off 1-2 times per decade.

I still tried doing a good job every day, and feel very good about that.

To me, being realistic about the risk of losing my job at any time means having enough money that I can be unemployed for 6-12 months.

The major way good programmers get jobs is by being recommended by people they've worked with at previous companies. That doesn't happen if you deliberately do as little good work as you can get away with.

My "shitty attitude" comment is maybe more a personal philosophy that something universal. But I do not want to spend each work day being bitter and resentful. You may intend to punish your shitty employer, but I think you're mostly poisoning your own mind.
A quick search tells me the median plumber salary is ~$60k. Your telling me your entire tax burden is ~1k? I find that hard to believe, and if true is pretty darn atypical. That's closer to what I was paying when I was making ~10/hr.
I'm a huge Dali fan and I hope to visit this museum some day. Dali fans call it the 'holy trinity, which includes the theatre museum, the Gala Dali Castle and Dali's house and studio. They are all near Barcelona.

In addition there is a huge Dali museum in St. Petersburg, Florida which I have visited a half dozen times. Quite an interesting story on how the museum landed in Florida. The collectors were a rich businessman and his wife from Cleveland, Ohio. He wanted to build it there but Cleveland told him they didn't want it. So he took out an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal and asked any city who wanted it to contact him. St. Petersburg won the competition. A few years ago they raised money to build a new museum so they could expand as the place is immensely popular.

Encryption (can work with sharing), signatures, fall back to CDN. Control is not an issue.

Torrents can't do the massive market of livestream, like sports or season finales or reality TV / news. This is the entire point of the question.

And everyone kicked off of YouTube or doesn't want to use big corporations on principal, like Hacker Cons or the open source community.
I'm okay with not having same day shipping if this means that companies don't have to treat their employees like dirt.

But, more importantly, a company that large is simply too much concentrated economic power (which then translates to political power). Even if it was all just robots, I'd still say no. Our political system is in shambles in large part because of these kinds of entities.
Aha I see source of the misunderstanding

the original paper's IER is absolutely meant to be compared across eras. (It tries to correct for the distortions of Gini I mentioned above)

Tiny bit of bad faith, IER for US is ~0.41(!), much less extractive than Han or Rome. IER is not covered by visualcapitalist.com which hints that they are not a totally good faith source as well..

Agreed. That's also the hardest part, and where most value is created.
Standard X-rays aren't as big a dose. Totaling up all the mammograms a woman would generally get and that should still be less than a single chest CT.
I'm afraid I'm only doing 2d ... Yes, GUI related LLM instructions have been exceptionally bad, with multiple prompts me saying "no there is no such thing"... But as I commented earlier, GPT has had it's moments.

I strongly recommend giving Gemini 2.5 Pro a shot. Personally I don't like their bloated UI, but you can set the temperature value, which is especially helpful when you are more certain what and how you want, then just lower that value. If you want to get some wilder ideas, turn it up. Also highly recommend reading the thought process it does! That was actually key in having very complex ideas working. Just spotting couple of lines there, that seem too vague or even just a little bit inaccurate ... then pasting them back, with your own comments, have helped me a ton.

Is there a specific part in which you struggle? And FWIW, I've been on a heavy learning spree for 2 weeks. I feel like I'm starting to see glimbses from the barrel's bottom ... it's not so deep, you just gotta hang in there and bombard different LLMs with different questions, different angles, stripping away most and trying the simplest variation, for both prompt and godot. Or sometimes by asking more general advice "what is current godot best practice in doing x".

And YouTube has also been helpful source, by listening how more experienced users make their stuff. You can mostly skim through the videos with doublespeed and just focus on how they are doing the basics. Best of luck!
Love that xkcd chart. One thing it doesn't show is that different particle species of radiation have different effects on our biology at different "potencies". Gamma rays released by an atomic weapon being worse than the x-rays utilized in CT scans. A rough guide to degree of risk per species has been given a value in the form of a quality factor (Q) or a modifying factor used to derive dose equivalent from absorbed dose for purposes of radiation protection. A scale where less dangerous alpha particles are given a value of 20 and gamma, x-ray and beta a value of 1.

Here's a relevant moment from the MIT OpenCourseware Nuclear Engineering lecture about ionizing radiation damaging DNA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfRpkTG7Iow&t=30m30s

I can't recommend that course enough if you're interested in radiation physics.
Kaiser Permanente, one of the institutes for this study, has a financial incentive to reduce CT scans.
Sounds like a technology worth investing in improving
I find it impossible to take a $5 product seriously. It’s either a complete toy or the company will disappear inside of a year, or both. That isn’t a sustainable business model.

This was/is a kidnapping. Not a deportation. We have processes for deportation.

Based on my reading of the XKCD on radiation[1], it would take about 250 mammograms to cause a noticeable increase in cancer risk. And you also have to remember that the whole point of getting the mammogram is to catch breast cancer early while it's still treatable, so unless you plan on living 250 years, I think catching the breast cancer is probably still worth it. Sure, overdiagnosis and overtreatment are issues, but I think that the current guidelines are 80-90% of the way to the ideal threshold. Maybe we should start screening 5 years earlier or 5 years later, and maybe in the future, we'll use more blood tests and less imaging, but for the most part, cancer screening seems to have been a net positive for societal health.

I hated Twitter before and after the acquisition, for a number of reasons. The last time I really liked Twitter was probably 2015. It's hard to qualify everything that was wrong with Twitter, but it'll probably be somewhat overshadowed by the Musk era because Musk is such a big dumbass. He also didn't really resolve a lot of Twitter's old issues with ideological bias, he just replaced it with less popular ideological bias. Twitter doesn't really feel like it is any less of a hellscape where people get banned for wrongthink, it just leans differently in high profile decisions...

I cannot speak for Intel, but Google has done very well by "growing an existing thing" in AdWords and YouTube. Both account for the lion's share of profits. They are absolute revenue giants. Many have tried, and failed to chip away at that lead, but Google has managed to adapt over and over again.
