"Forward deployed engineers" starts to seem like a trend with some of these AI companies.

Selling high-rate outsourcing services with surely guaranteed lock-in mechanics, under the umbrella of accelerating AI adoption within the industry.

While before you at least owned the code and the know-how, now you can outsource that too while you're getting in return systems that share data with third parties and might also be generally vibecoded.

What a sweet deal! /s

I want a programming language as soon as the program benefits from conditional clauses or subsystems. So if the will and know-how is there, would be great to have it from the start.

I was pretty happy the day I could move some Jenkins jobs to a Groovy script. I've worked with HCL significantly, but once I learned the idiosyncrasies of Pulumi, scripting infrastructure via a programming language was a better experience (good IDE autocomplete simplified things), though it requires more discipline.

Even without working with the Nix scripting language I'll dismiss it. When I looked at it was some kind of bastardisation of Bash with Haskell ideas. A hobby project idea at best, yet forced upon all Nix users. Guile Scheme is a nice small language, and Guix uses that, and I think that is a better approach.

As a Romanian I can tell you that most of the corruption happens through "dedicated contracts", or outright syphoning.

In this case I expect an underpaid employee, and at most an incompetent nephew of someone. They had no reason to have an .authorized_keys file in the webroot of the website, and yet they did.

If you want to know what "dedicated contracts" look like in practice they are overly specific requirements than can only match a single business. The best example that comes to mind was when one county needed to buy busses (or vans) and the maximum length admitted was bellow the most common options, but as luck would have it a nephew of a cousing of someone with decision power (or something like that) just so happened to be the one importing cars that precisely matched the specs.

I think that is also big factor why many, very many, products contain now protein, and the exessive protein food receipes on social media.

Still receives, and for the foreseeable future will receive, security updates which is good enough for me to keep it installed on my phone.

I'm really pissed that I went through 6 cloudflare captcha loops with no result. I swear they're guarding this website from VPN users as if it's the fort knox.

Nowadays, with the focus on agentic use and coding, it seems models have all been RLHF’d to death

This has also lead to unrelated associations by which some people went from seeing better coding capabilities and extrapolate to assuming better thinking overall. One only has to watch youtube videos of AI "normies" trying to use LLMs the intended way to see that the improvements on coding doesn't translate to other applications. Basically from AGI "goals" they are now hyperfocused on coding agents, until the next marketing breakthrough rears its head.

It's good for connecting through the network and picking up new projects. I have a small ~100 people network and even I get results. Stricly through my network, not jobs, not direct service requests or their sales tools.

They could even make it more useful if they'd put actual thought in their paid Sales Navigator product, currently I find it hard to make it useful without better filtering and blacklisting mechanisms.

Though I'm put in a strange situation with the EU intent to roll out age verification, as LinkedIn might force me to verify through Thiel's Persona platform. Which I very much would not want to do, and have to plan for some form of exit strategy while still having a way to network professionally.

As far as AI content goes, the platform is drowning in it. I can only hope that once the AI Act disclosure requirements comes into play at least I can flag content that is not AI tagged.

Maybe big tech weren't good a lobbying bureaucrats against GDPR but got better at lobbying in the EU for this. There's also been a slight shift towards authoritarianism in the last decade, which naturally love the possibilities of stricter communication control.

Children protection and russian propaganda are the tried and tested covers at enforcing age verification, message scanning, and probably any future pan-european surveillance network.

I've used that example as a contrast of what I've seen before. If you can point me at comparable efforts, in the same category as what Mistral is doing, I'd be interested in having a comparative look.

All I can think of are robot dogs, Tesla bots, and whatever flavor of the month Japanese robots show up at trade shows.

For a claim such as state of the art, or claims such as "great at any task" needs something of more substance. I've seen maze-solving robot competitions which can zoom around in seconds. The sped up video in the first part, and the "obstacle avoidance" are too slow for me to believe this is state of the art.

While impressive at 8B, what would the expectation be in real life, that it's run remotely or autonomously with a strapped on GPU and battery?

It's a time sink, where much of the gameplay happens outside the game, or with tools outside the game, and at mid-high level it seems that social engineering your "friends" is the only true 7d-chess tactic.

I'd really like to see a new game in this genre that does things better and leaves room for more ways of play.

I've followed along this game more than the ~6 month I've played it (and EVE Echoes for a year) and all I can say is that playing as an explorer can be fun. Though so much time wasted scanning solar systems. I would be logging; on travel through wormholes that connect different solar systems, mapped out within a third-party site for the corporation I was part of, particularly to mark shortcuts to the major trade hubs. And in all this time I found only two Ghost Sites[0] (my favorite PvE mission type for exploration), which are hard trials for an explorer that test your situational awareness, maneuvering, puzzle solving skills, and strategy to make the most out of them. If I would have come across more often, I would probably be hooked on the game for longer.

I think the number of HNers also increased significantly over the last year. It'd be nice to see some uptick stats from dang or tomhow.

Are you talking on particular about the M5? Is there room for a huge fan replacement?

The repeated claim that all these different forms are not directly comparable is a very strange aspect.

Only thing that separates them is the build quality and the extra 20W of boost the framework desktop and this variant support.

They have a note on the thermals but no measurement of noise. Doesn't matter if it's stricly a whoosh or a whine, only if they bother people in the same room. And the small ones like Bosgame get a consistent complaint about the noise in in-depth youtube videos.

I think performative art blogging would be a more apt description.

Stronger foundation (as to mean better tested), less accidental complexity of reinventing everything, transferability of knowledge, easier onboarding and review of changes.

Your argument is a mirror of the snark question "why don't LLMs write in assembly?" for those not looking at the output at all.

Good fallback in case the page gets changed, currently instead of listing a journalist the article had a bunch of "Which?" placeholders :)

Fun editorial slip up over there.

And AI layers are so good that even OpenAI complained that it would be unable to navigate compliance if every US state can have it's own AI legislation.

And they have infinite access to AI that passed the bar exam and is brandished with "PhD-level intelligence."

My first thought would be an adjustment to a reasoning budget parameter (using llama.cpp as my reference) which would lead to these results. But no way to know precisely without an OpenAI statement.

It could be a very dishonest way of scaling to demand during peak hours. I know that some people already scoff in this topic about the subjective nature of perceived performance of models. But the model seemed less smart when US comes online (at least from my testing over the month of May).

On my company blog post from a few weeks ago I felt the need to point this out because it had a perceptively more consistent pattern during those overlap times. Should have saved the session logs for further analysis https://webesque.agency/blog/2026-06-19-llms.html

I enjoyed both TIS-100 and Exapunks though I didn't have the patience to finish either of them. For me they get too hard (due to constraints) too fast (if not straight up obscure).

~6 years ago had a very hard time researching and implementing an @-style remote resource completion (other users and documents to reference) and the style of extensions in this editor seem very much like an evolution of prosemirror.

I'd really appreciate it this was something built in, not something I have to build based on the dinosaurs example. Every time I need to reach for one of these text editor libraries that is my no. 1 usecase, followed by WYSIWYG.

Maybe you've started using a VPN recently? Only time I'm login blocked.

Over Tor you can still access it without much fuss https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqn...

Does anyone know how these contracts work? Are they footing the bill just to get customers onboard and locked in?

It was a differentiator when distro updates where sparser, and in start comparison with Windows at the time which couldn't stay up for more than a couple of days without crashing (particularly the XP era).

Those markets are very bad for anyone at the moment. With AI this, AI that, there is a higher likelyhood of building suboptimal things in weekends than outsourcing small projects to subject matter experts.

For the dogs situation, I would recommend reaching out to petfriendly groups for help, and vetenerians that might do things probono.

I don't think only their writing is AI, I suspect the site as well. With modern frontend GenAI renditions it is more common for me to find sites that stutter during scroll, as this site does.

Thank you for providing context.

Are his public stances on immigration precisely stated as remigration, or does he describe a thing such as remigration without explicitly naming it as such?

About his quote from wikipedia "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish." which links to this video tweet https://x.com/AllardKlipp/status/2060109271635771457 can you give full context/translation?

Any of the Swedes in here can corroborate the claims in the article about this right wing group? Especially about the extreme anti-immigration statements and put that in full translation and context?

Also what this group leader has done in Örebro to contextualize this quote

”I hope they will do similar things on the national level as in Örebro”, writes Daniel Berntsson to Flamman.

By ignoring key implementation details. That's what has been happening in Romania with this topic for the last year.

Constant polling and reporting of opinion, and always phrased in terms of effect instead of how they aim to do so.

Once properly informed "do you want to go through an ID check on all websites and apps that you use?" people wise up quickly to the issue. But state sponsored media is pretty adamant about moving this topic forward.
