Different project — mnemon is a Python-based memory tool.
mnemo is a Rust binary with a knowledge graph layer and
REST API sidecar. Similar name, different approach.
On a purely language basis, I'd start with the things the BrighterScript [1] folks have done to clean up the warts and inconveniences of the language.
Personally I'd rather it not exist. Roku would be more pleasant to develop on had they chosen a more popular, existing language as the basis (e.g. Python). Then the task of developing for the platform ~mostly reduces from "learn a new language and a new framework" to just the latter.
I suppose it hasn't inhibited their success, of course.
On hackers news a technology focused platform where custom weird languages thrive. You're complaining about a company who the original developer made their own language.
Isn't this exactly how all of the other languages where created?
The "First they came for the Communists" logic still holds. When government able to open the flood gate, the mandatory ID check will be slowly and surely be everywhere.
If you don't use social media and AI platform. Fine. But what about app stores, what about any registries from docker, to npm, to apk and toward the end source code repositories like Github/Codeberg?
First they banned the children from smoking cigarettes, and I did not speak out, for I was not a cigarette. Then they came for the murderers and pedophiles, and I did not speak out, for I was not a murderer or pedophile. Then they came for the carjackers, and I did not speak out, for I was not a carjacker. Then they came for the people who said "Free Gaza!", and there was no one left to speak for me.
This is famously why ID checks at the liquor store led to the government eventually requiring a mandatory ID check anytime you walk the dog or go to the beach... except none of that happened.
I think you are overly optimistic and forget a few key facts here.
According to wiki, 8% of males and 0.5% of female suffer from colorblindness. That means for the rest of the people, the color is part of the information that our brain use subconsciously when we go and grab a bag of Calbee.
Will it affect the Japanese general public? Minor inconvenience for sure.
Will it affect sales? Probably for area popular by tourist? Maybe it move the needle by 1%?
But what's important that's below the fold is there could be other knock on effect as naphtha is used to make other product.
Yes for men mostly it’s red/green colorblindness. It’s one reason traffic lights have a uniform order and why you might get tested on which light means stop and not what color on a written test in the US.
It is fascinating that we still haven’t have a law that forbid the car company from automatically share the data.
The car owner is buying a car, using computer to handle complicate hardware I understand, but at what point it make sense to share the data automatically without consent?
In Honda vehicles, you can turn it off but then it will show a permanent warning on your dash saying your spying settings are off and keeps bugging you as if you’re out of fuel.
I haven’t kept up with it but at least at one point the regulations gave both the automotive manufacturer and national governments rights to the data. What those entities do with the data is up to them. A lot of this was done under the auspices of international treaties. When those regulations were written the sensing capability was much less invasive. This has been in the works internationally since the 1990s.
Most governments don’t collect this data because they lack the technical capacity to do so. The legal frameworks were put in place long before the infrastructure.
I think GDPR should already covers this. What I’m unsure about is whether accepting one of the items in the menu on purchase of the car then allows it again because of “giving consent”.
I would imagine not single everyone on HN have enough disposable income that allow us to subscribe Claude Max or other similar max plan of other models without thinking.
Some people mentioned open weight model, but there are two hurdles. One the current economic mean securing the best hardware is already stupidly expensive compare to a year or two ago. And the open weight model lack the magic that Claude/Gemini/OpenAI put in the proprietary one, meaning one will have to create their own agent that is clever enough to search the internet when it knows its training data is stale.

You don't need the Max plan with other models if you're not going completely crazy. Other providers have much more generous limits than Anthropic.
As a Hongkonger, native in Cantonese (zh-hk/yue) and fluent in English (en) and work in Singapore (en-sg & zh-sg), I have a even more mundane use case that Siri is not clever enough to support.
I want my location to be in Singapore (Singapore SIM/Card etc)
I want my UI to be in English.
I want my Siri speaks Cantonese to me.
For reason on Apple knows why, I have to use English (Singapore) as my UI and Siri language or Apple Intelligence will not turn on. As if the engineer who develop Siri/Apple Intelligence have never think about the needs of those who speaks more than one language.
Honestly, this is a complaint of mine with a lot of software. I'm Hungarian and live in Hungary. The amount I have to struggle to have British English language, American keyboard layout, and Hungarian time in Windows is insane.
It's not even really US-centric - it's that too many settings are controlled by one option "locale" and if you want a mixture that isn't represented, you're stuck, even in the USA. Example: ISO standard date 2026-05-14 with 24 hour clock, US digits 1,000,341.24, dollar signs, and English. Most systems won't let you get this, because they have one setting that controls all of it.
