Sigh. Anecdotally, more Europeans no longer want their governments to rely on software and data controlled by US companies, because they no longer trust the US to act as a reliable ally, defending the same values. Whether you agree or disag

In the past, a small number of European cities or municipalities have tried to move away from proprietary software, but those have been isolated cases, lacking broader support. This time, things look different. Anecdotally, more people in E

Even a dog can vibe-code! And the apps kinda, sorta work most of the time, like most apps vibe-coded by people! I'm reminded of the old cartoon: "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog."[a] Maybe the updated version

Yeah, crypto is a safer, more reliable alternative for many use cases, including those that are fundamentally honest. For instance, if you're an honest person trapped as a citizen in a despotic authoritarian state that doesn't res

It's also the #1 use case for $100 US dollar bills. Most US $100 bills, in fact, are not even in the US.[a][b] US $100 bills are the currency of choice for small-time crooks and evildoers around the world. They are also the currency of

Yeah, those 24K accounts are likely high-volume . 16M "exchanges" / 24K accounts = 667 "exchanges" per account. How many tokens per "exchange"? I imagine a lot, because these accounts were likely maxing o

Ah, I understand what you meant now. Without judging the artistic merit of these pieces, I submitted the OP only because the idea and process of "painting" on glass with a hammer struck me as cool and interesting (pun intended).

Hi, I submitted the OP because I found it cool and interesting , esp after seeing the clip of the artist creating a piece using only a hammer. My only motivation for submitting the OP was thinking that others here would find it cool and

Fantastic read. The OP does a great job of describing how gradual progress occurs in mathematics. Thank you for sharing this on HN. Deep down, I'm still hoping someone or something will find a beautiful proof that is more elegant than

Instead of managing code , you're now managing AI entities . Managing people has always been emotionally and psychologically exhausting. Managing AI entities can be even more taxing. They're not human beings.

The problem is even more fundamental: Today's models stop learning once they're deployed to production. There's pretraining, training, and finetuning, during which model parameters are updated. Then there's inference,
