I thought they’d learned their lesson when they changed their strategy (er... business model) and went after the enterprise market.

But now ... this. I am clueless.

I thank you for your attention to this matter

Salut ! I wouldn't say the Americans are no longer our friends, but trust is definitely gone.

Let's focus on the subject and try to distinguish the technology and the frontier companies selling it. That's the key point in understanding the whole stance.

As I understand the article, its title should be: "A Severe Misalignment of AI Frontier Companies with Ethics."

> It's interesting to see so much hate towards creators who use AI to make almost any type of creative work. At least these are humans using it as "controllable tools". Nuclear-powered bicycles for the mind. As the degree of separation increases, things can get interesting.

Unrestricted models, running entirely locally and accessible to anyone: that’s what we should be taking as our baseline assumption. Everything else is just administrative distraction.

> Both OpenAI and Anthropic have recently flagged incidents in which agents powered by their models went rogue

I may be biased and somewhat off topic, but I see these incidents as some of the most significant of the past century. I genuinely don't understand why these companies aren't taking a smarter approach to them.

The latest analyses have been, at best, laughable: identify the vulnerability, patch it, and move on. Only to repeat the same cycle without considering that there may be something far more serious at play.

These are AI security experts, and this has been their way of "solving" these incidents. AI security experts ...

Moreover, when Challenger exploded, the government launched a series of investigations into the incident, bringing in experts from across the field. And now, what has the government done? Nothing. Literally nothing, as if everything was fine and all under control.

Seriously, I'm generally quite optimistic and I don't buy into this fatalistic narrative about our shared future. But I have to admit that sometimes I feel like I'm stranded on a planet of primates.

Sorry for this rather unproductive rant.

A simple video showcasing one fruit picture opened in Preview with the fly going for it would have been nice.

Yes, it spawned on HN a few months ago. The thing is it doesn't display the city transport (the official SBB map does).

You are right, the devs says that the vehicle positions are estimated from the official timetable and real-time GTFS-RT delay information, rather than from publicly available GPS coordinates.

btw while looking for th GTFS-RT info, I found this site, which is less minimal but has a 3D cockpit beta functionality...

Switzerland's real-time map of trains and public transport (zoom in on a city to view its public transport in real time). You can find boats too.

And if you check on/off the other options, you get way more informations.

As a future scenario where models become so efficient that _any_ model installed on _any_ computer could be considered "a national security risk"?

IDK, I don't live in the US, and I have no idea which "possible law" this website is referring to. In any case, it could be seen as a proactive effort to keep the gates open.

As a side note, I think this is a discussion every open-source supporter should have by actively considering the risks and what actions to take if such a hypothetical law were ever to pass.

Litotes maybe?

This was sarcasm, meaning exactly what you wrote.

I think this project could be a perfect (I may be biased and didn't dig) candidate for Haxe to JS dev : no framework (except a small node server?), strict typing, minimal dependencies (jszip and maybe fast-xml-parser). What could go wrong?

Great initiative ! So simple and yet it works (from those recipes listed I know, they are all working nicely).

+1.

On a side note (and maybe off topic), I am thinking about food pairing which is based on the idea that two ingredients sharing volatile aroma compounds or certain molecular families may have a potential sensory compatibility (broccolis and strawberries for example). I'd love to test those ingredients and find some unknown food pairings. But .. time is what it is (for now).

And then we were sending those "let me google it for you". I just wanted to find the site again and, surprise it has the GPT part now ^^ but on the joke side.

While Andy Yen supports specific Trump-aligned initiatives for precise goals, such as breaking up Big Tech monopolies (which, btw, Trump won't), this does not mean he will replicate the erratic nature and global loss of trust associated with Trump and his administration.

The Cloud Act is real and transcends any single company. This global erosion of trust highlights deeper concerns: specifically, that US practices have always been coercive. Now, the world is learning and taking action.

Pardon my lack of faith but ... this article is clueless. No information whatsoever. Except:

> The Journal report said the U.S. government, which became Intel's largest shareholder last year under a deal with its CEO Lip-Bu Tan, played a major role in bringing Apple to the negotiating table.

... smells what it smells.

Good old « release first, fix later »

Why "hard to bypass" would be a sufficient thing? It depends on the technology used to connect the two phones. Bypassing this process can range from "easy" to "quite complicated", but it remains possible. Once the security is compromised, the entire network loses its core value since a single interaction is enough to establish a permanent connection.

> Meanwhile my religious-FAANG friend has 4 kids, lives in a community where everyone knows each other, lives much closer to family (intentional choice) and just overall sees his life, both the ups and the downs, as part of something purposeful and meaningful.

I am a full atheist, living in Switzerland. The community is strong, the neighborhood too and the city is a charm (Geneva). 3 kids, coding and spending my time contemplating humans at their best: having fun and getting on a higher ground. I don't have an answer regarding the bigger picture but I will surely think about it and get back to you.

EDIT As I wrote in another comment: confronting the truth (whatever the spirituality behind) in itself doesn't make someone unhappy, it's the sense of losing one's footing that does. In many ways, America was built along those lines.

Must be some ironic comment that I didn't get, but a simple script (curl calling steam API and sending a notification if the price is set) + cron handle the job perfectly.

EDIT: Giving the keys to an agent for such a trivial work is ... I got your sarcasm I think ^^.

Tangent and admittedly off-topic but I've come to see LLM-assisted coding as a kind of teleportation.

With LLMs, you glimpse a distant mountain. In the next instant, you're standing on its summit. Blink, and you are halfway down a ridge you never climbed. A moment later, you're flung onto another peak with no trail behind you, no sense of direction, no memory of the ascent. The landscape keeps shifting beneath your feet, but you never quite see the panorama. Before you know it, you're back near the base, disoriented, as if the journey never happened. But confident, you say you were on the top of the mountain.

Manual coding feels entirely different. You spot the mountain, you study its slopes, trace a route, pack your gear. You begin the climb. Each step is earned steadily and deliberately. You feel the strain, adjust your path, learn the terrain. And when you finally reach the summit, the view unfolds with meaning. You know exactly where you are, because you've crossed every meter to get there. The satisfaction isn't just in arriving, nor in saying you were there: it is in having truly climbed.
