I wonder if there are plans to licence the content for AI training

Seems like a good start. Then ban this as an asset class for scale investors so they have to release existing inventory.

ITS A TRAP! If your app is successful their infrastructure will see all the traffic, your responses and will be able to mimic what you do and kick the husk of your app in the weeds. (Unless your function comes from some massive unique dataset they can’t by access to.)

Does not work so great on mobile. Site content just scales down to a small unreadable text.

Most of your uses will visit on mobile

I’ve seen airline training videos about in flight battery fires. But I’ve never considered the risk of ear buds catching on fire. Normally, you should feel them heating up before they catch but they might just blow, that would be very sore. Also if you’re sleeping with buds in you could end up with a fire before you woke up.

From the privacy page of the app developer

“ In addition, according to relevant laws, regulations and national standards, we may share, transfer, and publicly disclose personal information without your prior authorization and consent in the following situations:

Those directly related to national security and national defense security; Directly related to public safety, public health, and major public interests; Those directly related to criminal investigation, prosecution, trial and execution of judgments; In order to protect the life and property of the personal information subject or other individuals, but it is difficult to obtain the consent of the individual; Personal information subjects disclose personal information to the public on their own; Collect personal information from legally publicly disclosed information, such as legal news reports, government information disclosure and other channels.”

Under Chinese law everything is national security if the state asks for it.

The last sentence looks like they give themselves permission to collect as much information about there users as possible

In any case I can’t see any way they are compliant with GDPR.

New comment by asimpleusecase in "Harvard says it's been giving too many A grades to students"

asimpleusecase — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 06:27:36 +0000

The issue that many schools face is that companies complain the grads - even with PhDs - are not able to do anything useful in the workplace. When my wife did her PhD more than 10 years ago (in the UK) she was required to take a stack of ungraded workshops under the label “professionalizing the PhD” it was totally annoying waste of time for her. The stuff was “basics of Excel”, “Research poster making”, “ intro to Adobe suite”, etc this was done because the university had received feedback that PhD grads could literally do nothing useful when hired.

From the article. “About 60% of the grades handed out in classes for the university’s undergraduate program are A’s, up from 40% a decade ago and less than a quarter 20 years ago, according to a report released Monday by Harvard’s Office of Undergraduate Education”

Harvard is currently under a lot of pressure from donors , courts ( loss of case on admissions), and political pressure from US administration.

Awarding 60% A’s does not help them make the case that they know what they are doing and should just be allowed to carry on.

Kinda interesting- of course until it hacked. But honestly it does not look like something I would want to carry around.

That was a very interesting discussion. I had seen last week a magnet fail to stick to a stainless camping cup and was puzzled. I have worked in metal forming in the past but did not do a lot with stainless. So really interesting

I see a lot of comments here about using some browser that will allow ME to see sites I want to see, but I did not see a lot about how do I protect my site or sites of clients from being subjected to this. Is there anything proactive that can be done? A set of checks almost like regression testing? I understand it can be a bit like virus builders using anti virus to test their next virus. But is there a set of best practices that could give you higher probability of not being blocked?

I could see gov imaging satellites with a direct encrypted laser communications to GPU’s in orbit being attractive. Images processing, movement pattern analysis, multi spectral, and as they mentioned radar.

I have found that Claude is not keeping some of my chats in the chat list and when I search I get bits of my conversation but not all of it. I found this solution to this problem. What have you found that works well?

Ask HN: What is the best way to preserve, and continue to use chats in Claude?

asimpleusecase — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 11:14:21 +0000

I use Claude Ai frequently, the other day I was working on a project and got interrupted and came back to that chat a few days later, only to find it was not in my chat list. I did a search and Claude seemed to find part of the chat but not all of it. Then I realized how naive I have been in my usage. The chat history looked like it was keeping all these threads for me to reference and continue to work with - I was treating it like browser tabs in a way. But now I see many of my chats do not appear in the chat list and some are only partly recovered by search or at times even search does not find them. I have now looked around and find all kinds of ways to save the chats locally or on online services. I would like two core features 1) a record of all my chats saved so I can review them and search them. 2) there are many chats I would like to “park” and continue the conversation later, maybe that would be saving a conversation and using that as a prompt to carry on later?

How do you manage this? I’m finding that I am using Claude like a scratch pad for ideas, but it is like doing so with disappearing ink.

Ballistic food , not so great. Years ago we went to an ice hockey game with our children.subway sandwich was there with their sandwich gun. They can shoot 6 inch sandwiches into the crowd. They got carried away and some sandwiches hit the ceiling of the arena, some disassembled on route to the crowd but most made to happy sports fans. My oldest son was quite young still and he was so distraught/ disgusted by the bits of sandwich flying around he has never entered a subway sandwich shop since then.

How long before we see these attached to bombs dropped by drones? It would reduce time over target and likely increase accuracy.
