ah27182··on Reflections on Americans' Net Worth
This whole article is giving off "PragerU"

Is this chart based off personal or household net worth?

ah27182··on Organic Maps
This is a really interesting project and thanks for sharing these tech details! Are you guys working on an iOS app yet? Would love to give it a try.
ah27182··on Postgres data stored in Parquet on S3: LTAP architecture explained
But much of the layers behind this LTAP architecture are proprietary. The goal for databricks is for customer’s data to never leave their infra.
ah27182··on Digital Printing of Arabic: explaining the problem (2017)
What’s the point of insulting a script as “horrible looking”. What a silly comment, please grow up.
ah27182··on Gaussian Primes and Black Hole Calculations
There seems to be an interesting link between the Riemann-Zeta function (therefor prime distribution) and the energy levels in black hole singularities.
ah27182··on Exotic prime numbers could be hiding inside black holes
I’ll give this a go lol
ah27182··on PgDog is funded and coming to a database near you
Upfront modeling work is always worth it, but that only holds if you actually know your access patterns upfront. Most teams don’t, especially early on.
ah27182··on Exotic prime numbers could be hiding inside black holes
The article title seems a little too far-fetched but apparently there seems to be an interesting link between the Riemann-Zeta function (therefor prime distribution) and the energy levels in black hole singularities.
ah27182··on San Francisco, AI capital of the world, is an economic laggard
Tons of jobs? Do you mean in tech, or in general?
ah27182··on San Francisco, AI capital of the world, is an economic laggard
Interesting that SoCal becomes an option for these people. What’s the draw with that move?
ah27182··on Work after work: Notes from an unemployed new grad watching the job market break
Are you going to address what he said or just continue to spew blatantly racist ad hominems?
ah27182··on Show HN: Git Auto Commit (GAC) – LLM-powered Git commit command line tool
I've been using LMStudio to run a local LLM (Qwen3-4B) to generate commit messages using this command:

```

git diff --staged --diff-filter=ACMRTUXB | jq -Rs --arg prompt 'You are an assistant that writes concise, conventional commit messages. Always start with one of these verbs: feat, fix, chore, docs, style, refactor, test, perf. Write a short!! message describing the following diff:' '{model:"qwen/qwen3-4b-2507", input:($prompt + "\n\n" + .)}' | curl -s http://localhost:1234/v1/responses -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- | jq -r ".output[0].content[0].text"

```

ah27182··on DeepSeek OCR
Apple shortcuts allows you to use OCR on images you pass into it. Looking for “ Extract Text from Image”
ah27182··on Show HN: ClickStack – Open-source Datadog alternative by ClickHouse and HyperDX
Do i need to sign-in when using the docker container?
ah27182··on Show HN: App.build, an open-source AI agent that builds full-stack apps
Alright sounds good. Question, what LLM model does this use out of the box? Is it using the models provided by Github (after I give it access)?
ah27182··on Show HN: App.build, an open-source AI agent that builds full-stack apps
The CLI for this feels extremely buggy, Im attempting to build the application but the screen is flickering like crazy: https://streamable.com/d2jrvt
ah27182··on Run Database in GitHub Actions, Persisting Data to S3, and Access It Publicly
Yea, I’m not following why this approach is radically different from just doing that
ah27182··on QwQ: Alibaba's O1-like reasoning LLM
Anyone tried using this aider yet? I like how its reasoning, but it keeps messing up when it attempts to apply the commit it generates.
ah27182··on Show HN: FastGraphRAG – Better RAG using good old PageRank
So I went ahead and tried running the example script with "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" using the "meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct" and "text-embedding-nomic-embed-text-v1.5" models locally. How long should it take to extract the subgraphs with this kind of setup?
ah27182··on Bop Spotter
Love the setup. I’m sure one can make this using Apple shortcuts too since there’s a Shazam api offered in it.
ah27182··on Plain Text Accounting (PTA)
Use teller.io, it’s super easy to setup imo (compared to Plaid). I use it to sync my chase bank + credit card statements on a gsheet.
ah27182··on Google removed Organic Maps from the Play Store
Is OSM good at keeping up-to-date with commercial data? I always thought it wasn’t so good, but maybe I’m wrong
ah27182··on Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk
I’m firm on my claim that they were imperial wars, but we can lay that to the side.

> I’m not sure what else you’re suggesting such a power do? Let the oppositional force just take everything?

This is precisely my problem. If the US/West wants to maintain a moral high ground by claiming that their “freedom” and values are simply the best and everyone needs them, then why is there an incessant need to subjugate? There is no moral high ground with continuously destabilizing countries and making half the world’s life a living hell.

I’m happy to talk about the actual realities of geopolitics. Of course the US wants to maintain control, but that desire is a not a “moral” one.

ah27182··on Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk
So destabilizing and destroying a country for the sake of establishing liberal values is a morally righteous decision?
ah27182··on Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk
> people seem to talk about it as if the US was acting in a vacuum

The Cold War ended more than 30 years ago, yet the same “interventionism” continues? This is isn’t ancient history, we fought two whole imperial wars since the with the same exact thought process without the USSR even existing anymore.

I don’t deny that there was some kind of context to American imperialism and I have no interest in whitewashing what the Soviets were doing. But to say that these “interventions” were a purely defensive/reactionary measure against communism is silly, the US has a vested interest in protecting its hegemony control. It’s that simple.

ah27182··on Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk
The point the parent comment made still stands, why did the US fund so many coups/regime changes up until the modern day? Your answer as to why seems to be “communism is antidemocratic and authoritarian”.

If that’s the case, why were so many Western backed regimes also antidemocratic and authoritarian?

ah27182··on Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk
What an incredible mask-off moment. The war mongering coming from this man is insane, I still don’t get why these people even bother to say they “care about democracy” when it’s clearly a lie.

He says China is “lost” or whatever, simply because the West has been unable to control the country in the same way they have done with Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc.

I hate these people that justify barbarism and imperialism as a means to a “greater good.” It has “white man’s burden” written all over it.

ah27182··on Launch HN: Airhart Aeronautics (YC S22) – A modern personal airplane
Sounds awesome! Are you guys hiring at the moment?
ah27182··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
Thats actually a very valid point. The mistreatment of Mizrahi's by the Israeli government is well-documented, they deserve justice as well: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-mizrahi-jewish-refugee-pro...
ah27182··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
The cycle ends once there is true justice.

That is: human rights for all (Israelis and Palestinians) and reparations made to those who have been forcibly displaced and killed ever since this conflict began.
