I was one of their first Enterprise customers way back in 2017’ish-give-or-take.

The brilliance of the system he built was that it allowed for real time collaboration. Which was god send from the Sketch -> Zeplin -> Invision -> Avocode (version management) ‘stack’ that lost Enterprise design orgs were using.

Which was already a large leap from what Adobe was expecting us to do with Photoshop/Illustrator (after they depreciated Fireworks).

Figma made handoff much easier. Made version control dead simple. Made my life as a UX leader much much better. I remembered talking to a few now-Gigantic companies back then and we all plotted the move together

It wasn’t lost on us that Sketch is/was much much smoother with its usage of Mac OS’s native shape rendering. It’s just that the benefits far outweighed the small drop in snappiness.

And for anyone who’s going to say “Sketch was Mac only that’s why it failed!” I assure you that had nothing to do with it. For the same reasons an entire generation of UX/UI designers stopped using Axure. But we would need to start talking about Invision 7 and Invision Studio if you wanted to get into the nitty gritty.

> That's a good spin but coming from someone who has an anonymous profile how do we know it's true (this is a general thing on HN people say things but you don't know how legit what they say is or if they are who they say they are).

Not only that, but how can we know if his interpretation or "feelings" about these discussions are accurate? How do we know he isn't looking through rose-tinted glasses like the Neumann believers at WeWork? OP isn't showing the missing discussion, only his interpretation/feelings about it. How can we know if his view of reality is accurate and unbiased? Without seeing the full discussion and judging for ourselves, we can't.

I had already downloaded a previous version of this app, so I was happy to see that it was already on my phone. With Octal having an issue recently, it's nice to try out this alternative.

We're very fortunate that so many hackers are intrinsically motivated to make excellent (even free) apps for this purpose, since we like hanging out here!

Don't forget the incredible lock in Figma has in the design space.

Figma just has to jack up the price in order to appease Wall Street quarterly.

Business wise it's got a great margin, but the avaricious nature of Wall St. will force them to enshittify the entire product, the engineering doesn't matter unless Wall St. is satisfied.

Yes.

It will also create jobs.

> unless AI evolves to the point that it even thinks of this and announces this to all other AI entities and they also implement it properly

Also yes.

People think that technology is some sort of binary less jobs/more jobs thing.

Technology eliminates some jobs and creates others.

Can you provide any specific situation where the following does not hold?

Especially if I add the constraint that rows have to be unique?

Relations=Tables Rows=Tuples Columns=Attributes

I think we may be from different schools of set theory, where I am from the more abstract direction, where set membership, inclusion and equality are separate concepts and don't need to be decided on to define a relation.

Not that my view is better just different.

I just happened to come through the {{foo},{foo}}=={{foo}} school.

Not OP of course, but I think there's a clear way forward.

An LLM accessibility browser is a bot, so bot detection sounds like the wrong approach to me. What's more important than bot detection is "actual real user" detection, of which bot detection is only part.

If the control software runs on a user's local device, things like TPMs can offer a device-bound signature for remote attestation. Virtual TPMs don't have root certificates signed by TPM/CPU makers, so they're not useful for building trust. A CPU shared between hundreds of other VMs somewhere in a cloud will not be providing unique TPM verification so AI scrapers will have to switch their scraping to having botnets do the work rather than just using them as proxies, and even then they can't get away with hacked routers (that lack TPMs).

There's a huge downside to this, of course, and that's basically handing control over who gets to use the internet to a few TPM companies that can lock you out whenever they please. If there's any way to tie this remote attestation system to you as a person, this puts tremendous power in the hands of the US government (see what happened to the ICC judge investigating the genocide over in Gaza) as they can force American companies to banish you.

I don't think the internet should develop in this direction, but with CAPTCHA failing to block bots and with AI scrapers ruining the internet, I don't see things going any other way.

Now that Cloudflare is putting a monetary value to bypassing its blocks for shitty AI scrapers, you can bet that there will be an industry of underpaid IT workers figuring out how to bypass CF's bot detection for a competitive market rate.

in sourcecode this snipped looked interesting https://github.com/YouG-o/YouTube_No_Translation/blob/91061a...

// Prevent translation on all levels [element, attributedString, snippetAttributedString].forEach(el => { if (el) { el.setAttribute('translate', 'no');

sadly magic translate="no" attribute does nothing on its own :( Probably related to standard https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/... so obviously Google doesnt honor it.

following

el.style.setProperty('translate', 'no', 'important');

is kinda funny too, CSS translate is about positioning not language :) and since 'no' is not a valid value this instruction is ignored anyways.

As a thought exercise, OpenAI can partner to apply the technology to:

- online gambling

- kids gambling

- algorithmic advertising

Are these any better ? All of these are of course money wells and a logical move for a for-profit IMHO.

And they can of course also integrate into a Meta competitor's algorithmic feeds as well, putting them at the same level as Meta in that regard.

All in all, I'm not seeing them having any moral high ground, even purely hypotheticaly.

We're just starting, and the second step is a review via a scheduled call or a form to understand the use case. If our automation can solve it easily, the $299 or $499 is enough for now and we can always increase the price later. If the automation cannot handle it, at least we understand a different problem and can offer a tailored solution for a tailored price, so it works as a lead generation and to make the tool more robust. It might be the wrong target but few months ago I was probably considered one of these customers that you don't want to deal with.

The app's premium unlock appears to be a $6 one-time purchase. Given that it's not a consequential life decision, the way a subscription can sometimes be, I would rather normalize paying for software that is well-made and lovingly maintained instead of having everything be free but it falls into disrepair after some big Apple update because it's too hard to justify working on it anymore.

I have a harder time with software that I have to sign up for a "trial" of a $20 monthly subscription before I can really experience what it's like to use it. With this app, you can see exactly how it works during the daytime at least, and what settings you'd be able to use once you pay, and no trial hanging over your head.

> I hope everyone here gets to have the experience of seeing HN discuss something that you're an expert in. It's eye-opening to see how confidently wrong most poasters are.

Some topics (and some areas where one could be an expert in) are much more prone to this phenomenon than others.

Just to give a specific example that suddenly comes to my mind: Grothendieck-style Algebraic Geometry is rather not prone to people confidently posting wrong stuff about on HN.

Generally (to abstract from this example [pun intended]): I guess topics that

- take an enormous amount of time to learn,

- where "confidently bullshitting" will not work because you have to learn some "language" of the topic very deeply

- where even a person with some intermediate knowledge of the topic can immediately detect whether you use the "'grammar' of the 'technical language'" very wrongly

are much more rarely prone to this phenomenon. It is no coincidence that in the last two points I make comparisons to (natural) languages: it is not easy to bullshit in a live interview that you know some natural language well if the counterpart has at least some basic knowledge of this natural language.

I think the costs of serving digital content are so low that you don’t need to rely on oversubscription. The user can stream 24/7 and you would still make money (assuming you got the working IP payment model like YouTube does that divide up individual user revenue proportional to that user’s watch time - I think Spotify has a problem here). The only “anti abuse” you need is to enforce that the user only streams one thing at a time.

The problem with the credit system is that the user won’t like that they have to pay extra for the good stuff, the feeling of watching worse stuff to save money etc.

Given the marginal cost of distributing the good stuff is the same as the bad stuff, why make the customer feel bad about watching by adding an incremental cost? Just let it rip. If you have a lot of good stuff, customers will be willing to pay more for the bundle. Once they’re in the bundle, let them watch exactly what they want.

It has obvious pros, but since you asked about the cons —- anonymity brings the worst out of people; TC chasing leads to a reductionist view of people’s values and skills.

For example unlike HN you don’t often do technical discussions on blind, by design. So it is a “meta”-level strategy discussion of the job, then it skews politics, gossips, stock price etc..

This is compounded by it being social media, where negativity can be amplified 5-10x.

I have a bottle of degreaser and used it on the derailleur. I was planning to replace the chain (stretched), cassette (broken teeth) and maybe front sprockets (worn) but they are riveted to the crank arms so maybe not those. Bottom bracket is a Shimano sealed cartridge bearing one so that can stay (previous owner upgrade I guess; it has v-brakes instead of the original cantilever). Undecided about using a new chain and cassette with worn front sprockets or temporizing by cleaning the old cassette and chain.

Apart from that, tyres are too worn, front wheel rims are so pitted I couldn't smooth them with sandpaper and they don't brake well, bar grips are worn and torn, plastic pedals worn smooth - lots of replacements. And changing the handlebars for the fun of it. Lots of paint chips and dings on the fame being filled with car touchup paint which looks awful close up - but I had it and the colour match is close, so it's cheap and tidier. https://spray.bike/ is tempting ... but not this bike.

Inspirations: https://www.youtube.com/@bkefrmr - Bike Farmer, who is trying to be the 'Bob Ross' of tidying up 90s steel bikes and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4n2S7-SC4Q - Spindatt "So I restored the original paint on my vintage MTB" and his followup vid on the process.

Wifi 6E is only usable now because the band is under-utilized. Once hardware proliferates it will be just as unusable as the existing bands.

It's the same thing with the existing DFS bands - I've never found any equipment in my area that will utilize it and stay on it. So when I switch my access point to it, it's great. Until it auto switches back to avoid interference. If there was actually equipment that was able to stay on it I think it'd be equally useless.

Biases inserted into the prompts are a very crude way to bias an LLM, and indeed don't work well. They result in very visible deviations like when Grok decided inject "white genocide" into all sorts of unrelated topics.

The real danger of model biasing though is in the training stages - by being selective in the source material you train against. With carefully constructed training data I am certain you could even bias an LLM to actively steer conversations away from topics you want to avoid.

For those asking how this is different from a simple text based memory archive, I think that is answered here:

--- Unlike most memory systems—which act like basic sticky notes, only showing what’s true right now. C.O.R.E is built as a dynamic, living temporal knowledge graph:

Every fact is a first-class “Statement” with full history, not just a static edge between entities. Each statement includes what was said, who said it, when it happened, and why it matters. You get full transparency: you can always trace the source, see what changed, and explore why the system “believes” something. ---

This is a strangely defensive comment for a post that, at least on the surface, doesn't seem to say anything particularly damning. The fact that you're rushing to defend your CEO sort of proves the point being made, clearly you have to make people believe they're a part of something bigger, not just pay them a lot.

The only obvious critique is that clearly Sam Altman doesn't believe this himself. He is legendarily mercenary and self serving in his actions to the point where, at least for me, it's impressive. He also has, demonstrably here, created a culture where his employees do believe they are part of a more important mission and that clearly is different than just paying them a lot (which of course, he also does).

I do think some skepticism should be had around that view the employees have, but I also suspect that was the case for actual missionaries (who of course always served someone else's interests, even if they personally thought they were doing divine work).

> Capitalists don't like markets, or at least not the markets that we're told capitalism will bring about.

The "markets" most people learn about are artificial Econ 101 constructions. They're pedagogical tools for explaining elasticity and competition under the assumption that all widgets are equally and infinitely fungible. An assumption which ignores marginal value, individual preferences, innovation and other things that make real markets.

> What capitalist wants that for himself? He wants decreased competitions and sky high prices for himself, and increased competition and lower prices for his competitors and suppliers.

The capitalist wants to be left to trade as he sees fit without state intervention.

It really is mind-blowing!

The CMS I'm building is for creative imaging—I want to model some specific subtractive processes from the physical world digitally. In the process, I had to come up with a way to convert RGB to spectral power, and was surprised to find that while there's a Spectral -> XYZ function (CMF), there's no industry standard inverse (XYZ -> Spectral). So I came up with a function which allows you to specify three RGB peaks, along with their widths, and it solves for the correct peak levels to reproduce an XYZ equivalent to the input color. This is my idea of fun! haha

Hard disagree. I don’t have “years of cooking” experience to draw from necessarily. If I’m looking up a recipe it’s because I’m out of my comfort zone, and if the LLM version of the recipe says to add 1/2 cup of paprika I’m not gonna intuitively know that the right amount was actually 1 teaspoon. Well, at least until I eat the dish and realize it’s total garbage.

Also like, forget amounts, cook times are super important and not always intuitive. If you screw them up you have to throw out all your work and order take out.

Which is what I used to do and the problems were Signal keeps two copies of the file by default and puts them on your device memory. So your device ends up having 3 copies of the same data, on the same device.

This is rather impractical if you have a lot of content in Signal, which I do because my family use it extensively to send photos and videos (which is the sort of thing you generally really want to backup).
