Yes, the research is wrong. And in science, it's not taboo to call that out.

It's outdated, doesn't differentiate between people trying to incorporate it in their current workflow and the people who apply themselves to entirely new ones. It doesn't represent me in any way and I am releasing features to my platform daily now, instead of weekly. So I can wholeheartedly disagree with its conclusion.

The earth is either flat of it isn't. It's easy to proof it's not flat. It's not easy to conclude that the results of a study in a field that changes daily represents all people working in it, including the ones who did not participate.

It's a fine movie, agreed. The movie's focus isn't on revenge, but on the interaction between the protagonists. Anyways, the story outline heavily reminds me of the classic "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Dumas.

Disclaimer: I never read Stephen King's original short story, on which the movie is based, so I cannot say how this compares to Dumas' classic.

I also don't like having to think about it, and if it were free, I would not bother even though keeping up a decent local alternative is a good defensive move regardless.

But let's face it. For most people Opus comes at a significant financial cost per token if used more than very casual, so using it for rather trivial or iterative tasks that nevertheless consume a lot of those is something to avoid.
Show HN: HalalCodeCheck – Verify food ingredients offline
by pythonbase | 2026-02-08 09:47:46+00:00
Built this to solve a personal problem: spending minutes in grocery stores reading labels and googling E-codes. Uses client-side OCR to scan ingredient lists and matches against 450+ E-codes, works completely offline after initial
load.

E-codes can be verified by scanning or uploading product label and searching the e-codes database (voice or type).

Now looking for partnerships to extend the reach.

Appreciate the feedback.

The hidden fallacy in your comment is that there is such a thing as "news that is really relevant for you".

This isn't all that different than saying that it would be nice if someone else did your thinking for you -- which is a totally fine thing to want, but let's not get confused.

"News that is relevant for you" is a concept made up by advertising companies to legitimize them in having power over what you see. Because if they presented it plainly, you would be rightly alarmed.

>Different prompts might have different probabilities of successful generation, so refinement could be possible even for stochastic generation.

Yes, but that requires a formal specification of what counts as "success".

In my view, LLM based programming has to become more structured. There has to be a clear distinction between the human written specification and the LLM generated code.

If LLMs are a high level programming language, it has to be clear what the source code is and what the object code is.

Neuralink has various potentials. One of them is that it becomes obligatory or even mandatory... If you don't get it, you'll be accused of being a luddite. It will probably start as a medical tool and progress to there.

The problem is that you are giving away access to your mind, one of the last private spaces. That means your thoughts can be stolen (think AI scraping but worse), or advertising put in your dreams. Perhaps even used to reprogram your mind etc.
Ask HN: AI never gets flustered, will that make us better as people or worse?

No matter the demands you throw at it, the interleaving tasks - in my experience - it never stops to say - "hey, whoa there, just can you --- can you just WAIT a goddamn minute, puh-leaze!" or whatever. It just powers right on.

Also, if you lose your temper at it, it just powers right on, too.

I'm not sure yet whether this aspect of AI will be a good or a bad. Will it make us into intolerable colleagues and friends with unrealistic expectations? Or will it lead by example and show us a way to disengage from conflict and proceed without provocation?

Not sure “Digital Twin Universe” is required here. They seem rather to have rediscovered Simulators in Integration Tests from first principles? The DTU comes off as XML Databases or Information Superhighway.

Still… a really good application of agent hands-off replication.

Seems like creating a quality negative mould and then that single negative mould makes multiple positive objects en-masse.

> But that’s not what trumprx is aiming to solve for right?

Correct

> What the agreement does [...]

This is hypothetical and does not exist. It also is not going to happen, politically, because drug companies are currently expecting to charge US prices in the US, while charging lower, non-US prices outside the US.

> That is extremely effective

This is hypothetical—and, as I've said, the attempt that the Inflation Reduction Act made toward this was watered down by an executive order. To be fair, the negotiation mechanism is still in place, and its existence must be influencing drug pricing already.

I would argue that is still just symbols. A physical model requires a lot more. For example, the way babies and toddlers learn is heavy on interaction with objects and the world. We know those who have less of that kind of experience in early childhood will do less well later. We know that many of today's children, kept quiet and sedated with interactive screens, are at a disadvantage. What if you made this even more extreme, a brain without ability to interact with anything, trained entirely passively? Even our much more complex brains have trouble creating a good model in these cases.

You also need more than one simple brain structure simulation repeated a lot. Our brains have many different parts and structures, not just a single type.

However, just like our airplanes do not resemble bird flight as the early dreamers of human flight dreamed of, with flapping wings, I also do not see a need for our technology to fully reproduce the original.

We are better off following our own tech path and seeing where it will lead. It will be something else, and that's fine, because anyone can create a new human brain without education and tools, with just some sex, and let it self-assemble.

Biology is great and all but also pretty limited, extremely path-dependent. Just look at all the materials we already managed to create that nature would never make. Going off the already trodden bio-path should be good, we can create a lot of very different things. Those won't be brains like ours that "Feel" like ours, if that word will ever even apply. and that's fine and good. Our creations should explore entirely new paths.

There are possibilities of invasive species either way. Think of how Australia etc have struggled with various plants and animals that have taken over. We may find that some Earth life likes Mars too much and becomes an uncontrollable pest there (after some mutation), or that some microbe etc from Mars finds the Earth environment more hospitable and starts being invasive here. (Already predicted by HG Wells' "Red Weed".) That would not be unlikely as if Mars used to be more habitable then there could be life hibernating or waiting for a break, and Earth might offer it all the things it needs to reproduce quickly...

I think this opens a huge can of further questions: what is a Stephen King?
Is it a best selling author who's a house name, a very successful genre author, one who spans genres and is successful in all of them, one whose' books get regularly translated to TV, a very good craftman of books that people actually read...

My feeling is that there isn't and _won't be_ a new Stephen King that checks all the boxes, due to declining readership and reduced barriers to independent publishing.

Note that gambling is currently the only recognized non-substance-related addiction in the DSM-5. As a society we speak of things like 'tiktok addiction', 'gaming addiction', 'food addiction' and 'porn addiction' but none of these are real recognized disorders. That is not to say that certain behaviors cannot be maladaptive and hard to quit, but this is not enough to make something an addiction - we don't call hypochondria a 'cleaning addiction' even though it might look like one.

The first working transistors and engines were of the size which happened to be most convenient to work with. They could then be shrunk because fundamental physical limits to their size were far below human scale. Their inventors were neither constrained by nor interested in those fundamental physical limits. They were inventors, not scientists.

In contrast, a particle accelerator like the LHC is designed from the outset to explore physics at a given energy scale at the lowest possible cost. Shrink it any further and it will no longer work. Despite decades of attempts to come up with alternative designs, when time comes to draw up plans for a successor capable of pushing to even higher energy, it's just more of the same:

"Until prompt-to-binary is reliable enough that nobody reads the intermediate code, the analogy doesn't hold."

1. OK, let's 100 instances of prompt under the hood, 1-2 will hallucinate, 3-5 will produce something different from 90% of remaining
compile based on 90% of answers

2. computer memory os also not 100% reliable , but we live with it somehow without man-in-the-middle manually check layer?

The big part of Xcode is the integrated Interface Builder. With SwiftUI it might slowly become irrelevant, but as of now, there's still no replacement for Xcode's Interface Builder. JetBrains' AppCode is/was a decent replacement for the code editor, but you still had to switch to Xcode for the UI parts.

Unfortunately, I've encountered antisocial behaviour on many occasions on buses. Had one guy sit opposite me and proceed to insult me about my clothes. I went over to the driver to complain (I had said nothing and this point) and the driver threatened to throw me off. Also had people hit me on buses and trains. And witnessed someone sexually harassing another passenger — he stood rubbing his crotch in front of her and asked her to "finish me off".

Football fans are often bad. Especially on trains. I hate getting a train full of them.

While I'm sympathetic to this argument, I should point out patent expiration for medicine in the US is pretty inoffensive (relative to how bad it could be, like software patents), and we already have plenty of drugs for excreting excess. We get a big basket of drugs into public domain each year, and government would be wise to publicly celebrate this, I think; would help with the general sense of impending doom citizens feel.

Semaglutide molecule patent will expire in 2031 here (many caveats to this). For the most part, you can get most any pill ~15+ years old for ~nothing without insurance, but associated devices like auto-injectors can extend this due to goofy rules; I expect execs thoughtfully considered medical patent law when deciding to initially trial and release GLP-1s as an injection.

Takes time to bring up devices, LOS is a volunteer project, and manufacturers don’t send them devices like they used to. Finally, no matter what they rely on the manufacturers releasing kernel source for a release and some take months and ship squashed and/or incomplete source. Availability of bootloader unlocking is a factor but what I just said is the bigger reason for the delay.

In what sense? Not competitive for chat bot providers to use? Is that a metric that matters?

> when the more efficient 1.8nm or 1.5nm chips get released

What if they don't get released? You don't have a broad and competitive set of players providing products in this realm. How hard would it be to stop this?

> no one will give a shit about the obsolete stockpile.

You have lived your life with ready access to cutting edge resources. You ever wonder how long that trend could _possibly_ last?

I find the licence to be overpriced already (I have one). I also have a bus pass, and find the buses barely fit for purpose outside the cities. (I am currently waiting for a service just now, which is once an hour on a sunday during the day and less on the way back in the evening.)

The NHS may fund free eye tests but they do not fund free glasses. Or free licences.

As I have said elsewhere, I do not find British public transport safe or reliable. On another note, I have sensory issues, so listening to some t*sser going through five second TikTok videos, playing crap music or yapping very loudly on the phone is extremely unpleasant for me. They don't like it if you ask them to be quieter either.

You make it sound like NBC is some sort of obscure specialist service, but it turns out that they're actually a mainstream national broadcaster, available not just over the air but also on just about every satellite, cable, and streaming provider in the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC

Not only that, but they're the official Olympic broadcaster in the USA! Around 22m watched it on their broadcast services, and a further 3m on streaming.

In reality, an overwhelming majority of Americans watching the opening ceremony were doing so via NBC.

If you're practicing casual misanthropy I'm sure it looks very "dire" that no one is exercising the authority to artificially limit population growth.

To me it just looks like "we're screwing around and falling behind on the work of actually advancing the cause of humanity." I'm hoping that's what you meant but around here it would be unusual.

The OICW is starting to look like a great idea -- an idea before its time -- as airburst grenades with proximity sensors might be the best way for infantry to deal with drones. Shotguns are too limited, jamming and EW doesn't always work and many drones have fiber linkages anyway, etc.

The XM7 is soon going to be on the "failed" list, BTW. Initial feedback is that everybody hates it. Also the "penetrates Level IV body armor at 600 yards claim" is not only untrue, it can't possibly be true because it is physically impossible. If you consider the KE and momentum of 6.8x51mm at 600m, and consider the KE and momentum of 7.62x63mm +P at muzzle velocity, this should be trivially obvious. Tungsten and other new materials don't get around this energy gap -- and tungsten 7.62mm rounds are already known, and already fail against certain Level IV plates at muzzle velocity, to say nothing of 600 yards.

> Feels like picking a distro when going to Linux.

Yes, there are lots of options, a community member started compiling a list of open source launchers some time ago: https://launcher.jrpie.de/docs/alternatives/

The reason for µLauncher to exist is that I really like the approach of Finn's Launcher (gestures for the important stuff, search for everything else) - massive thanks to Finn! - and had been using it for years, but - after switching to GrapheneOS - I needed a launcher with support for private space. Launcher was unfortunately no longer actively maintained, so what started as a weekend project to implement some improvements ultimately lead to me becoming maintainer of a fork.

> The name of this one is a bit too clever

The name of the original app is simply "Launcher", hence the name of the repo - as I said, I didn't intend to maintain a fork when starting this.
Not being very creative (and unaware of uLauncher) I just called my fork µLauncher (I'm pronouncing it 'mu'-Launcher like the greek letter). On a German keyboard, µ is readily available and I had never imagined that this small fork would be used by anyone except a few friends...

And sooner or later it will happen, imho.
With probabalistic compiling.
And several "prompts/agents" under the hood. The majority of "replies" wins to compile.
Of course good context will contribute to better refined probability.

Ask yourself
"Computer memory and disk are also not 100% reliable , but we live with it somehow without man-in-the-middle manual check layer, yes?"
Answer about LLM will be the same, if good enough level of similarity/same asnwers is achieved.

I can't find it with a more specific search on SO, maybe it was deleted.

The question was like: I wrote "hello world" but I get some compile errors, followed by an image embed of a handwritten hello world program, followed by a compiler command where the input file had a .png extension and an error related to the compiler not being able to read PNG files, followed by quoting the part of the standard where it says the input file shall be readable text and this is obviously readable text because I can read it.

Do you accept that wholesale electricity prices in Australia can be wildly disconnected from residential retail prices?

Do you accept I am an Australian resident retail customer telling you I am not seeing any change in my $/kWh price, nor any offers from my any providers offering lower prices and higher solar input price than the plan I’m on now.

It doesn’t matter if wholesale prices are zero unless energy retailers are willing to compete to drive prices lower.

And they’re not. It’s a regulated market here in Australia.

The sattelite feed links below update every day or more often, and show varios views and visual data of what is happening in the North Atlantic.
I have watched for years, and the last few years are markedly different.The SST (sea surface temerature) charts are especialy interesting as these provide a real time visual representation of the amount of heat
in the system (earth surface), and watching things like major weather events like hurricanes or polar vortexes exhanging heat with the ocean is also interesting.
Depending on conditions things like the gulf stream itself can up in the visible light images from the GOES sattelite
and things like sea ice can be corelated in multiple sattelite feeds that show the direct conection between seaice, and ocean currents in real time, superimposed on past conditions.
My conclusions are, that there is more heat and less ice, and much more mixing of water bodys, where it looks like heat builds and builds untill some threshold is reached and then hot and cold currents interact suddenly and then reach a new equalibrium. By suddenly I mean in a ridiculously fast movement of bodys of water the size of continents....takes a few days.
Most of these feeds have been running in the same format for decades and I suppose I now have more than 1000 hr's observing, every morning with my coffee, my phone working as a 50 billion dollar front seat on
the planets reactions to our activities.
Very cool, and strange to watch as things start to look serious.
