News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Sounds like software rendering.

Try activating webgl/webgpu (off by default on linux) in FF config (or use chromium).

It is somewhat relevant, but what matter most when discussing the current meaning - is the current meaning. Not what a word meant hundreds or thousands of years ago. Your comment above read to me as a final argument what the word means, because of it's roots. And this was probably what got you the downvotes.
"In general, everything that moves/activates the body in a non damaging way"

So sure, some injuries require not moving to heal. But at the cost of degradation of everything else. And also there activation of the tissue around to keep the blood and lymph flowing is beneficial or rather crucial.

Also since I like extreme sports, I kind of was made an expert in recovery by life.

Why would it be a Placebo? It physically stimulates the body, a placebo would be rather a sugar pill.

In general, everything that moves/activates the body in a non damaging way is good for recovery.

With a broken foot I would be rather worried that it stimulates too much. But bodies are not made to lie around.

Neither the US, nor EU nor russia is a monolithic block. So I try to avoid black and white framing in general. But especially the US warningbefore 2014, when at the same time with surplus fracking gas, not many considered serious. Besides, while everyone was buying from the Saudis and co. So why not russia?

Now at latest by 2014 that should have changed indeed. But even then different approaches would have been possible then cutting all ties and hope this will work out better.

It was also to me. I also prefer simple clear language, so much for my feedback. Can we now move on?
Yes and europe was warning the US not to engage with Iraq and now Iran in the way the US did.

Also we read the warning as "don't buy from them, rather buy from us".

And it was extensivly debated in general.

In hindsight everything is obvious, but it was a close call and there were many moments history could have taken a different route. Sanctions were painful for russia, but so was cutting ties of a lot of industry towards russia in east germany for instance. A bit more cooperation (and maybe less US started wars as a guidance) and all would be quite different.
Nurses don't really do diagnosis, but follow the ones doctors give. (Except for trivial things)

Otherwise I unfortunately know plenty of doctors that could easily be replaced by an LLM, but for now I prefer a diagnosis from a real doctor (who may use AI as a tool).

And this is the context where they said "no" to the government into pushing this further.

How does this help a evil plan?

Where are the Palantir autonomous weapons?
Palantir wants to have fully autonomous weapons, but I know no proof that they have and use them. Also there is likely a difference between what Palantir does now regarding mass surveillance - and what they want to do. Antrophic having objections here (that cost them a lot with the government ban, security risk declaration) does speak for them as "genuinly evil" which was the claim here.
No, but this does a bit:

"However, in a narrow set of cases, we believe AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values. .. Mass domestic surveillance. Fully autonomous weapons."

How many other companies said no to Trump in any way?

Can you share your reasoning about Antrophic being genuinely evil?

This was all fake then?

Pssst, Firefox and UBlock origin still solve that even for youtube.
Was not even talking about aggressive behavior, but complaining and annoyed looks. That is still (emotional) pressure.
Yes indeed. But stressed passengers tend to not think about that, so the pressure they put on the traindriver is real.

(have you ever been in a train on hold, unclear information about delay and seen the looks and talks of passengers towards the train driver walking outside who announced before he also does not know when the ride can go on? Like he is personally responsible for the delay and incompetent or straight evil)

"They need to keep trains on schedule, using a buggy system, with a manager looking over their shoulder."

Also lots of potentially angry passengers who want to get to their destination in time. Will miss important appointments, or even the last train connection for the day and be stranded if the train drivers decide to wait a little bit longer to be on the save side.

" I just hope it isn't Katniss Everdeen or Edward Cullen."

How about Harry Potter?

Well, all of those have in common that they are fantasy and not really connected to this reality, while Tom Sawyer was a fictional adventure in reality.

Re:We ran AI agent swarms in Minecraft and Mindustry on Thursday October 29, 2026 @09:29PM (#50298785)
Depends. If the models are smart enough to write enough solid helper scripts, so that the model only does the big picture thinking, not guiding every step .. then they will get powerful and capable quickly. I am also playing a bit with minecraft AI right now. Fun to experiment.

There have been quite a bit more at least in print, but maybe not so mainstream

This one is pretty famous I think and I enjoyed it a lot

Ask HN: Antrophic tightened usage limits?

I am on the Max plan and Antrophic seemed to have greatly tightened the limits since their IPO, I burned through 50% of my weekly limit in 2 moderate sessions. Is it just me, or do others experience this as well? A way to boost their numbers by nagging users into upgrading yet again?(I am considering it, but also exploring the other options. I heard googles AI became useful for coding?)

Re:Ask HN: Why Is Anthropic's Customer Support Bad? on Thursday October 29, 2026 @02:41PM (#50293895)
It is not just subagents. Antrophic just tightened the limits again heavily it seems. I just used 43 percent of my fable use in 2 sessions starting fresh today. Before their IPO I never hit any limits.

Am not happy and rather investigate now the alternatives than upgrading again.

There are limits in place and about to be tightened, but I assume the bigger worry are the european car manufacturers.

And personally I trust a Tesla as much as chinese car. But a VW one only slightly more.

"Lawns that require almost no maintenance using native plants have always been possible, but they don't reflect the class and status dynamics that neighborhoods want to show off."

In wild nature, there tend to be spikey things. I still run barefoot there. I don't care about status dynamics, but I do also like a soft grassy ground to jump and run around with my kids,

But I do let patches on the side grow complete, only mowing once a year - and especially before the fireflies come - I let the whole lawn grow extra high (with only some ways cut low) for the fireflies and insects. In spring the flowers are also nice. Still, some patches of nice lawn I always have and use with joy. It all is a compromise (still it greatly triggers me, if family members mow too early and too much).

Re:An examination of lost firefly species of the US and Canada on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @08:18AM (#50272413)
"Lawns aren’t native to your area."

Aside to what the other commentor has said, nature doea not mean static preservation, but it always changed all the time (and we are part of it).

"One almost forgets how easy it is to read a wall of text when it was written by a human. "

Erm, this really depends on the human I think.

Re:An examination of lost firefly species of the US and Canada on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @12:27AM (#50269342)
Well, what is natural and where is the line?

We domisticated grazing animals since a while in large numbers, the smaller ones do produce something like a lawn. And soft grass is just really nice to play around with the kids. So I also simply keep bushes and tree spots for the leaves and insects.

Slight OT Survival tip, if you are starving don't go for mushrooms in the first place (unless you really, really know) - even if you get the right one, they don't contain much energy for you to burn anyway. The larves you often found in them, probably contain more. So mushrooms are a nice addition (and in rare cases good medicine), but for survival you should focus on something else.

"nor asking themselves if there's prior art tackling the same problem"

Asking AI is asking for prior art to not invent the wheel yet again.
