I’m happy that this shows that hard work, understanding your codebase, having performant software, having actually working software, rigorously measuring and proving proof of results still matters.

There’s a huge difference between using LLMs to offload any hard work and for LLMs to be of some assistance while you are in control and take ownership of the output.

Unfortunately, the general public probably didn’t try a git clone and cargo build, and took the article at face value.


"Choosing" is doing a lot of work in that sentence

DuckDB is awesome.

If you want it's power as a query engine but like to write python instead of SQL, I highly recommend using it as a backend for the Ibis dataframe library

It let's you interchange pythonic dataframe syntax (like Pandas and Polars) with SQL that 'compile' down to SQL in DuckDB dialect

And you can use those queries interchangably in postgres, sqlite, polars, spark, etc

The worst kind

Any business that needs convincing to move on from anything labeled NTLM does not care what "nerds" have to say. They are either one of those "I'm not spending money on something that works" or stuck with such legacy technical debt that at this point, removing it from environment is too costly to even consider so executives kick it down the road.

Except that I think it's clear that the motive was getting the data not taking the site offline. The evidence for that is that it stopped on its own without them doing anything to mitigate it.

Also I don't know why you think this is sophisticated, it's probably 40 lines of Python code max.


Ok, I've toned that bit down for you.

A pump and dump has to be false, misleading or deceptive. This is not the case here.

Are the folks still using ES simply unaware of the performance advantages of ClickHouse, or is there some use case that ES covers that CH is still missing?

> "the way you describe a program _can_ be the program"

One follow-up thought I had was... It may actually be... more difficult(?) to go from a program to a great description


> balcony solar

That's swell if you have a balcony facing the sun and enough space for 4m2 of solar without blocking your neighbors' sun. In my unit for example, it's completely infeasible.


Z-Image is another open-weight image-generation model by Alibaba [1]. Z-Image Turbo was released around the same time as (non-Klein) FLUX.2 and received generally warmer community response [2] since Z-image Turbo was faster, also high-quality, and reportedly better at generating NSFW material. The full-size Z-Image is not yet released.

The HN guidelines include the term "curmudgeonly", which IMO is fair.

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

"Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative."

Serves a bit of a different purpose - but for working with git in the terminal I'm a big LazyGit fan - https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

I use it in neovim with https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim


It's a shame that this 6K tunderbolt hub monitor does not support the latest thunderbolt 5 standard. Otherwise you can connect and daisy chain two of these 6K displays together.

How do you fit 10 A4 pages into 4:3 aspect ratio. 10 is 2 by 5 or 5 by 2 or you want to fit 9 or 12.

My arithmetic nodule is having a konniption fit. Does not compute. If this is 16:9 and you mistook your aspect ratio I can breathe again. 1:√2 says "not 4:3 or 3:4"


"Politics is an art of distraction" (c)

All the fuss and constant bombardment of tweets is to distract from the Epstein files. And it works very well!


There seems to be grey deny button at top-right on first view but it disappears if you select the details. You need hide the details first if you want to click it.

You should do your own evals specific to your case. In my evals XML outperforms JSON on every model for out of distribution tasks (i.e. not for JSON that was in the data).

I use them both depending on which feels more natural for the task, often within the same project. The interop is easy and very high performance thanks to Apache Arrow: `df = duckdb.sql(sql).pl()` and `result = duckdb.sql("SELECT * FROM df")`.

I realize there's a lot out there on the subject, but do you have any specific reading recommendations summarizing the effect of the US dollar's reserve currency status on middle America? It's a history I've been interested in learning.

FYI: % (percent) literally means "out of a hundred".


It is pure game theory. An aggressive person expects no bad outcomes from his passive victim. If they get a signal that their own outcome may be not that good, even marginally, this very often changes their behaviour.

That's why the advice to act submissively presented as "avoiding confrontation" is often the wrong advice.

You are not seeking confrontation, but you should signal that you are ready for confrontation. Stops aggressive behaviour very often.


Pre-alignment-meeting alignment! A good thing to explicitly exclude.

Definitely need a healthy culture when asking for honesty and openness about what people think, including they see as unclear, unknown, inconsistent with others, and/or outside the existing box.


This is par for the course with this AI slop. Most of the big claims about LLM productivity have completely lacked any backing evidence. Big claims require big evidence, but all I've seen so far is loud assertions and pathetic results.

That GitHub repo could really use some pictures of the final product/project. :)

Hey HN!

My name is Omkar Kovvali and I've been wanting to share my CC sessions with friends / save + access them easily,so I decided to make an MCP server to do so!

/share -> Get a link /import -> resume a conversation in your Claude Code

All shared sessions are automatically sanitized, removing api keys, tokens, and secrets.

Give it a try following the Github README instructions - would love feedback!


Because they much rather have those small businesses use a Facebook page for that purpose, which is the status quo in the West.
