Fasting is great because you live off of your muscles. Keep at it and you will loose so much muscle, you will develop an eating disorder. The stomach and intestines are muscles too.

My understanding is that if you are healthy and you fast, it's great. If you are actually ill and fast it's still great but it only hides your illness and you are on a very bad path (eating disorder)

In January 2024 there was a similar post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38985152 ) wherein the author selected dual NVidia 4060 Ti's for an at-home-LLM-with-voice-control -- because they were the cheapest cost per GB of well-supported VRAM at the time.

(They probably still are, or at least pretty close to it.)

That informed my decision shortly after, when I built something similar - that video card model was widely panned by gamers (or more accurately, gamer 'influencers'), but it was an excellent choice if you wanted 16GB of VRAM with relatively low power draw (150W peak).

TFA doesn't say where they are, or what currency they're using (which implies the hubris of a North American) - at which point that pricing for a second hand, smaller-capacity, higher-power-drawing 4070 just seems weird.

Appreciate the 'on a budget' aspect, it just seems like an objectively worse path, as upgrades are going to require replacement, rather than augment.

As per other comments here, 32 / 12 is going to be really limiting. Yes - lower parameter / smaller-quant models are becoming more capable, but at the same time we're seeing increasing interest in larger context for these at home use cases, and that chews up memory real fast.

I used to run a restaurant and it made me completely flip on how I feel about returns (or sending back food). I used to be the same - oh, it's good enough, oh, I don't want to be a bother, etc.

Especially if it's a small business, I can practically guarantee the business owner is hoping beyond hope that if there's an issue, you feel willing and able to mention it and get a return. You bringing it up makes the business owner aware there's an issue, and at that point they can do everything in their power to make it right with you, because chances are they're kept up at night worrying about all the ways to make their customers satisfied. If someone sent back food at the shop, my first though was "oh my god thank you for mentioning there was an issue." The potential loss of money, the extra time and trouble, all of it is pennies compared to the stress you feel when you wake up at 2am and realize holy fuck you forgot to add the extra bacon that one customer ordered. I imagine it's similar if you find out, idk, after shipping out 50 units of something, that the way you're boxing it is causing units to show up just a little bit banged up or whatever. Much better to know right away and make it right with people!

So, I'm not sure if this is you, but if you're being held back by some sense of not wanting to cause trouble, trust me, you're doing the business owner a huge favor letting them know.

Another point: the SCIM schema can be confusing. The RFCs make it seem like you can define your schema however you like, and it provides a default schema with which it bases examples in other parts of the RFC.

In reality, most systems expect you to have the full default schema present without modifications and might complain when items are missing. Do you provide scim support without passwords (only SSO)? Okta will send a password anyway (random and unused). Does your application not differentiate between username and email? IdPs will complain if they can't set them separately. Do you not store the user's `costCenter`? IdPs will get mad and keep trying to set it because it never sticks.

Some of the time, you'll have to store SCIM attributes on your user objects which have no effect on your system at all.

The other side is making custom schema items. SCIM has you present these in the `/Schema` endpoints. But, no system (that I know of) actually looks at your schema to autopopulate items for mapping. Entra and Okta are great at letting your provide mapping from an IdP user to a SCIM user, and then you map SCIM users back to your app's users. But you typically have to follow app documentation to map things properly if it's not using the default schema entirely.

>No, it doesn't.

Lmao, so you either collect less money, or you collect enough money to pay for your new dividend + other government services. you cant have it both ways.

You must account for the cost of the random new UBI you addressed to cover your other arguments.

>You have to sit on a lot of valuable land to have a high LVT bill. Those are rich people.

This is one of my favourite parts of LVT, the magically tiny tax.

If you take <national budget> and apply it proportionally across land as it is valued, the most <national budget> is extracted from inner city residential and commercial land. This is literally the stated intention.

You have stopped caring about a persons income, and started caring only about the value of the land beneath their house. By design and intention.

That value will rise and fall based on subjective third party determinations. By design and intention.

Its highly likely that people will end up with a significantly increased tax bill, especially if they had low/no income previously. Again this is stated intention, its just the flip side of encouraging more efficient use, is discouraging people from living within their means on a block of land they own that's near things property evaluators value.

Rich people with high incomes and expensive property wont give a shit. People who fall outside of your hypothetical, plenty of whom exist lots of them former income tax payers, will be significantly worse off.

>By itself, acquiring all the land will be fiscally neutral

Land value as it stands is fucked in large part because the government holds so much of it. The solution is to release more land, not lock more of it up in state ownership.

>I know, it's a bit confusing: we are charging a specific rate on the price of the land, but what we are actually interested in is the proportion of land rent we are capturing.

You need to solve for the entire budget, not a number you made up.

The market cap of the US housing market is 50 trillion. That includes developments on the land, and it excludes all the commercial and agricultural land. Lets assume it averages out to 60 trillion.

US government spent 6.8 trillion last year.

You aren't going to be able to tax rents 10%, you will need to tax value 10% to reach that number.

If someone lives in a caravan sitting on a 200k valued piece of land that they own outright (hoping to develop one day), making minimum wage, and they get a tax bill for 20k, or even 10 or 5k their life just ended. If you want them to borrow with no income to offset their tax, they wont get that loan.

I dont understand how you dont understand the actual cost of an LVT or how it is likely to affect people.

This is me. I use Safari’s Reading Mode for almost everything, and for sites like Medium and similar platforms, it is enabled by default. There is something pleasant and calming about a consistent reading experience when consuming text content. Plus, Reading Mode supports basic customisations and follows the Light/Dark theme system, which some websites struggle with. It is not perfect, but it is familiar and easy to use. Recently, the Safari team improved it with an automatic Table of Contents, it preserves font, zoom, and theme selections across devices (works well for both macOS and iOS). The sepia theme is good enough to please my eyes. This is a fair assumption.

I also have problems with faces, if they've changed slightly or I see them in unfamiliar places. I don't have aphantasia, or problems recalling my past - quite the opposite, I have strong visual memories from before I was three.

On the other hand I'm extremely good at recognizing people from their gait. I can see someone in the far distance and know who they are, even if we haven't met in years. For some reason I also recognize people from how they place their shoes.. as when I walked in somewhere and saw a pair of shoes and immediately knew that it was one of my cousins I hadn't seen in ten years.

Hi HN – I’m Shubham (ex-Shopify, IIT Guwahati). My co-founder and I are building FilFlo, the “Shopify of fulfilment” for India’s exploding D2C market.

What we’ve done so far:

* Live product & revenue – 5 paying brands (Sleepy Owl Coffee, Anveshan, PTAL, etc.) generating *₹8 L MRR (~$10 k).

* Team – 3 full-time engineers, me on sales & GTM, Navdeep on post-sales / customer success.

* Stack – React + Node, Mongo, Docker, Fly.io. Early AI features via GPT-4o for real-time ops insights.

* Problem – Brands juggle spreadsheets, ERPs and WhatsApp threads to keep inventory, warehouses and finance in sync. FilFlo gives them one pane of glass and (soon) autonomous agents that flag issues and take action.

---

Why we need you

We’re ready to ship our "first deep AI workflows" (stock-out prediction, auto-PO, self-healing dispatch). To make this sing we need a founding Product Manager (option to join as third co-founder) who can:

1. Own product strategy, roadmap and UX end-to-end.

2. Translate messy ops problems into lovable software that our dev team can build fast.

3. Drive AI feature discovery (LLM-powered agents, rules engines, feedback loops).

4. Talk to customers daily and ruthlessly prioritize what moves their KPIs.

5. Set up product analytics / instrumentation so we measure what matters.

---

You might be a fit if

* 2-5 yrs shipping B2B SaaS / platform products (bonus: supply-chain, fintech, infra, or applied AI).

* Comfortable thinking in APIs, data models and simple UI copy.

* Zero fear of hopping on a truck dock or warehouse floor to see problems first-hand.

* Can write crisply (PRDs, release notes) and think strategically (market, pricing, positioning).

* Located in (or willing to relocate to) Delhi NCR / Gurugram. Remote within ±5 hrs IST possible for the right person.

---

What we offer

* Meaningful equity – this is an early seat.

* Salary to clear your living costs (we’re revenue-funded; fundraising now).

* A greenfield to build India’s first AI-native fulfilment OS.

* Customers who already love us and push new feature requests weekly.

* Access to our network of 200+ D2C operators and investors (YC app in flight).

---

Sound interesting? Shoot a quick intro + something you’ve shipped to shubham@filflo.in with subject “HN PM – <your name>”. Happy to share product demo links, metrics and roadmap in return.

– Shubham

I haven't been able to find any of the supporting documents, but the court order makes it seem like OpenAI has been unhelpful in producing any alternative during the conversation.

For example, the judge seems to have asked if it would be possible to segregate data that the users wanted deleted from other data, but OpenAI has failed to answer. Not just denied the request, but simply ignored it.

I think it's quite likely that OpenAI has taken the PR route instead of seriously engaging with any way to constructively honor the request for retention of data.

To be honest, these "Bin Stores" are really a bit strange, like treasure hunting, but also like endless consumption. I went there once last weekend, and curiosity drove me in. To be honest, the feeling of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the hope of finding good things is really exciting, like a modern version of "scavenger". I found an almost new coffee grinder for only 5 yuan (the original price may be 50), but I also saw a lot of plastic garbage, which looked like rummaging through a garbage dump. Interestingly, some stores seem to deliberately mix some valuable things into the boxes. For example, I found a brand new mobile phone case in the pile of cables that time. It is probably this mentality of "maybe I will find treasure next time" that makes people go back again and again.

> It is definitely the responsibility of anyone suing someone who trained a model on copyrighted data to prove that it isn't fair use, they have to show how it violated law, and while it's in the best interest of those organizations to make things easier for the court by showing why it is fair use, they are technically innocent until proven guilty.

No, fair use is an affirmative defense for conduct that would otherwise be infringing. The onus is on the defendant to show that their use was fair.

Hi HN,

I built a simple but powerful command-line tool called Token Visualizer that helps you analyze the tokenization of your prompts across multiple LLM models — GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Claude, LLaMA, and more.

It breaks down token counts line-by-line, shows token efficiency (chars per token), highlights expensive prompt parts, and even suggests simple text compression tips to reduce your API usage costs.

The tool supports both the official OpenAI tokenizer (via tiktoken) and HuggingFace transformers tokenizers, and falls back gracefully to simple word splitting if those aren’t installed.

Why this matters: Prompt token counts directly impact your API cost, latency, and model input limits.

Understanding how your prompt breaks down into tokens helps you optimize it for cost and performance.

It’s great for prompt engineers, developers, and AI researchers who want a transparent way to audit their prompt usage.

Features: Multi-model tokenizer support with fallback

Line-level token analysis with color-coded cost heatmap

Token efficiency metrics

Token-by-token breakdown for smaller inputs

Suggestions for reducing token usage and verbose phrasing

Simple CLI interface, easy to integrate into your workflow

Try it out: Run it interactively or pass a text file. It’s lightweight, no heavy dependencies unless you want richer tokenization support.

Would love to hear feedback on use cases, feature ideas, or integration suggestions. Also open to collaboration to turn this into a web-based tool or VSCode extension.

If it helps you feel better, the "tragedy of the commons" isn't a natural law, it's a highly debated topic that was somewhat re-invented by an economist and then coined in the modern era by an ecologist discussing the pamphlet by the economist, in which it's argued that unfettered access to "the commons" will lead to the common being destroyed.

What's missing from the regular usage of the term is the fact the pamphlet was written immediately the enclosure movement had subdivided the literal Commons - common land - that had functioned perfectly fine for centuries without over exploitation... until the enclosure movement subdivided them and landowners began over-exploiting them.

The lesson isn't that people can't be entrusted with unfettered access to common goods, it's that giving decision making power over the distribution of a common good to an owner (capitalist) will result in over-exploitation. In the case of returns, the price of the good has way more to do with the seller just getting the price up as high as they can get it and still profit, and far less to do with labor costs, manufacturing costs, shipping costs etc. A simple question: if they could sell it for more and make more money, why wouldn't they? If they could sell it for less and make less money, why would they? Hence why the cost of goods stayed up after the chip crisis despite the chip crisis ending.

In the context of TFA, are you sure it's not GP who's arguing for sport? Maybe this clarifies the issue: one way to reword the root (critical) comment is "of course there is a cost, since entropy is always exacting a price". There's constant upkeep necessary for any trait if it is to be preserved. It points out a glaring blind-spot in the article.

By default, the app uses different servers (rendezvous and transit) than the default ones used by most (all?) other wormhole clients.

But that's a one-time settings change:

https://github.com/LeastAuthority/destiny/issues/259#issueco...

Go to the 'Help' menu and change the two server addresses:

Mailbox: ws://relay.magic-wormhole.io:4000/v1

Transit Relay: tcp://transit.magic-wormhole.io:4001

(Note, that really is ws and NOT wss.)

> Let me see if I follow: once the snake population has the warning coloration, and predators know not to eat them, then individual snakes being successful at eating poisonous newts is unrelated to the snakes living long enough to pass their genes (i. e. being successful in terms of natural selection). So a snake which has the right colors will be successful, regardless of its diet.

Sort of. Whether the snake is poisonous is unrelated to its success, because it dies upon being eaten whether there are consequences to its predator or not. (The article takes some pains to show that this is untrue of the newts, but not the snakes.)

However,

> the snakes living long enough to pass their genes (i. e. being successful in terms of natural selection)

This does not reflect a good understanding. Success means having more children, not having any children.

Something I wish SCIM did better was break apart group memberships from the user resource. In the realm of SCIM's schema with the ability to have write-only, read/write, and read-only properties it makes a ton of sense to have a user's group memberships read-only and available to look at easily. But sometimes populating the list of groups a member is in can be taxing depending on your user/group db (or SaaS) solution. Especially because this data is not paginated.

SCIM allows clients to ignore the group membership lists via `?excludeAttributes=groups` (or members on the group resource). But not all clients send that by default. Entra does well to only ask for a list of groups or members on resources when it's really needed in my experience.

Some enterprise customers use SCIM with tons of users. Querying for the users themselves is simple because querying users is paginated and you can constrain the results. But returning a single group with 10,000 users in a single response can be a lot. It only really contains the user's identifier and optionally their display name, but if you have to pull this data from a paginated API it'll take a while to respond. Or it could still be taxing on some databases.

It'd be nice to query `/Users/:id/groups` or `/Groups/:id/members in a paginated fashion similar to `/Users`.

Yes, it is what happens. The PRC refusing to buy trash did completely overhaul the market but Vietnam and India pick up the slack https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jun/17/recycled-pla... (that article is from before the PRC stopped buying garbage but it mentions those industries)

It's also important to remember that trash isn't just from your hands to the India landfill, there's also industrial waste from the factories that make all our products that gets dumped somewhere cheap near the factory. Even if we shipped no trash to India, our consumption results in garbage dumped there because our products are made there, or near there.

Distillation, when done improperly, can result in very toxic substances. It requires care and craft and since alcohol is not only a drug but a transformed product (like LSD or meth), it is perfectly fine that some state-level supervision apply: anything ranging from plain interdiction to controlled production. Note that the level of control usually depends on potential health issues and culture, it is not usually strictly bound to the product itself, since we can observe variations from region to region.

It seems like the power source required for a portable laser system makes it very cumbersome. Why not just use a fleet of very low cost anti-drone drones? They can be "AI-powered" to seek out enemy drones and try to damage them or throw a net on them.

I do think we will see more and more laser systems installed on large naval vessels as an alternative to close-in weapon system (CIWS), which, in practice, has not been very effective against missile attacks.

Google indexes your website for free, and it will pay you to put ads in it.

That's also what all social media do , they put ads on your thoughts. They dont even need to index your thoughts because you submit them directly. It has nothing to do with being free, it's about incentives. Users are so foolish , they give everything for free, unlike webmasters.

I feel like a lot of responses here are lecturing about aphantasia rather than SDAM. I learned of SDAM from this article, but it resonates with my own experiences.

I would describe this in terms of telling stories from childhood. Many people I know can spin a narrative around significant events from their childhood, as if they're living it again as they tell it. This is something media has taught me is the normal way of experiencing a memory. But for me, it's just a list of facts. I can tell you various bits about the time I got punched in the face as a child (second grade, his name, my telling him to "make me" before he did it, every teacher not believing I could have been partially at fault), but those are simply fact lookups in list form. Part of that is aphantasia sure, but the other part is the lack of an emotional memory. I don't remember how any of that made me feel, I can just assume based on context. If I felt anything other than what would have made the most sense in context, it's logged as a fact about the incident.

Sadly, that means I have very little actual memory of my childhood. It's mostly a list of incidents and some data points about the incidents. I don't have emotional core memories of my grandparents, just some events associated with them that I know happened, but can't relive.

So I'm on the other end of the number line from the SDAM folks and I'm kind of mind blown that people don't remember when they trip, I remember at least 6 instances off the top of my head. Ditto feet touching each other - which shoes I was wearing, what the weather was like, where I was at. The bus question I would have to dig a little but I'm sure it happened at least once.

How do they reasonable work around that though? If they want the ability to move away from JSON, you have to know that it is JSON before trying to parse it. And then you need to know how much data to read. So I can see why they put those 2 tidbits of info above data block.

Maybe they could have said too bad, JSON for life, we'll never change it. OK. But then you still need the length or a delimiter for the "end of json".
Homeless but self taught full stack developer
by crlapples | 2025-06-06 05:37:15+00:00
Hi, I'm currently homeless but I know how to create fully loaded full stack websites. I cant remember everything off the top of my head, but I can remember most of it. I started coding in 2011 until 2012 with mostly HTML, CSS and javascript. then I just started again in 2024 until now with react, next.js, typescript, tailwind, Shopify and wordpress. I'm here because its free to post and I'm wondering if there's someone out there who is willing to hire someone like me. Thoughts are appreciated.
