Hello Daniel!

We've been working on a platform/tool for this since September. And it's live in Alpha right now, https://bedtimestory.ai

We are working on a lot of feature requests and improvements at the moment, and distribution. Text, Audio and Video being the primary use-cases.

Making stories 100% editable and upload your own images is also in the works.

We are working on "Magic Images" that will allow you to insert yourself or your kids into the stories as stylised characters in your style of choice https://twitter.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1603536335884750848

We are also working on Magic Talking Cards, Video audio of the story character telling the story from their perspective https://twitter.com/LinusEkenstam/status/1603276364550807552

In our library there are over 10.000 stories https://bedtimestory.ai/library

We are looking for people to keep giving us feedback and help us push the boundaries on whats possible.
ActiveX-based plug-ins for online banking weren’t exactly SK-specific in the 2000s. I’m surprised these (I mean the no longer ActiveX-based successors) are a still a thing, though.

It's called subjectivism for a reason.
A simple rule of thumb is that for samples with N < 100 be very skeptical for the results as those can be archived simply by randomness on top of small systematic errors. Proper statistics helps to rule out randomness, but not systematic errors. Which pretty much rules out most of the sport studies.
Well, they wouldn't claim to assemble it. It's clear to me these people using AI so heavily don't have an authorship role at all, but a publishing one.

GoTo has been bad for a while. I recently sent their team a support ticket for their GoToWebinar API (API response contained completely different/wrong data). They said it's not that much of a problem and said they weren't gonna fix anything. Hilariously bad.
So what you're saying is that we should tip no matter what?
> Thanks for the site: it's a good tool to demonstrate just how unfeasible energy storage really is.

Turns out even good tools can give bad results if intentionally used in bad faith.

If you include a small amount of dispatch to represent long distance transmission, biogas or hydro things change dramatically. Prices are for real finished projects, and are going down for wind, solar, and storage very rapidly.

10% Dispatch: https://model.energy/?results=99cee0624b3f3f84ed7fe4f03b968c...

5% Dispatch: https://model.energy/?results=50ab975942dbab37b25ef471759b4d...

2.5% Dispatch: https://model.energy/?results=524af6e91d482ff646b2a9fcbff5a1...

At 2.5% even using gas for dispatch would only add 10g of CO2 per kWh to the total. Well within the error margins of estimates from various low carbon sources and significantly less than taking a year longer to build out low carbon generation.

Restricting scope to subsets of the country:

PNW with no offshore wind because it has the worse renewable resources:

What Rust can teach you and Python can't:
- Memory management
- Some functional, type-driven programming concepts (Python has functional programming facilities but not as many as Rust, although Rust isn't the most advanced functional language out there, either)

For other concepts, like you said, Python helps you focus on the concepts themselves better

But you did. Constant lambasting, smearing of an establishment's enemies while not using the scepter of the same criteria against the own establishment makes 'others' evil and the establishment 'not so evil'.

Your repetition of that establishment's smears against its currently targeted enemies just propagates its propaganda.

Probably helps they are a big OS company but I think they went all out on security because of how severe softmodding scene was on the original Xbox. IIRC there wasn't useful softmods for GameCube or PS2 during the lifetime of the system whereas I knew several people with modded Xboxes with larger drives that they'd rip rentals onto.

Xbox 360 also had XNA, I think you needed a paid membership to actually boot a game on it though. And on the last few Nintendo consoles they've had BASIC programs available letting you write your own software. Obviously there's some limitations there but people have done some neat stuff and it's even possible to do 3D. The original Famicom also had BASIC available.
Per your first question - protecting sensitive information - we've got PII redaction and Blocklisting that cover a variety of potential cases of data leakage [0].

Regarding profiling - we're not actively a profiler, but we do offer a set of code-level metrics you can use to do performance analysis and detect bottlenecks [1].

Regarding adoption - we're doing OK:) I think this is a new approach, one that is quite different than what developers are used to. But it's also one of those things that - as you mentioned - make so much more sense than the alternatives, and with costs rising it's really even more evident than ever. If you're interested in the cost of logging specifically we've got it broken down in a study [2] we recently released.

Why would the company care if the investors sell? They’ll happily buy again when things are looking up.

Only when things are going so terrible that the board is trying to get you replaced is when it becomes important.

If the board aims to replace you because of a bad quarter in a bad economy… find a different company to be CEO of I guess.
Just like how I could read a bunch of kid's books and learn to write new ones that are "funny and artful and witty", I am quite confident AI could as well.
Under-powered also means that the minimum detectable effect is high (that's why it is harder to get a "significant" result).

Which means that it is more likely that if you will find an effect only if you are overestimating the real effect. The real effect might not even be detectable!

Why is it so easy for you to disregard any kind of power/leverage relationship about labour and employment? Reality isn't that simple nor that reductionist.
No I mean if you buy 100 macbooks some will be locked and essentially worthless.

In that case the value of the entire batch will be lower.

So yes it's a known issue. But for each individual MacBook, it's a potential issue.
> My impression was that you could expect extremely little OC to be stable even if you did it yourself.

Not my experience at all. I bought a Ryzen 3700X with 4x 16GB 2666MT/s Kingston ECC. Memory chips turned out to be Micron revision E, same as used in many popular Gaming XMP sticks.

I could run these at 3333MT/s and lower CL from 19 to 14. Thus, raw latency going from 19*2000/2666=14.2ns to 8.4ns. After recently buying a used Ryzen 5950X I can now push the memory to 3600CL14, or 7.77ns. At this point I'm at the limit of what I can cool without starting to hear my PC.

> What I could find was _very_ slow and something like twice the price.

And at this point I'm running my memory at the same speed as G.Skill Ripjaws V Black, which is the fastest gaming memory I could find available here, but the G.Skill is twice the cost. Though, I see that it's also available as 4600CL19, and I actually never tried decoupling the memory clock from the fabric clock after upgrading my CPU since I couldn't push 4 sticks fast enough on my 3700x that I'd make up for the decoupling. I should probably try it out. Suspect I won't hit 4600MT/s though, but I don't think I would be able to run the G.Skill att 4600CL19 with 4 sticks either.
Yeah I suspect the "Made by humans" stickers will be abused, just like how car manufacturers spend 20 minutes attaching the wing mirrors in the US and so it's "Made in the USA".

I guess the equivalent here would be generating a story with an LLM and then changing the wording a bit.
A lot of those Tesla charging sites are open to all EVs. All Tesla charging sites in the Netherlands, for example, are open to all brands.

Enter the trip you took in A Better Routeplanner (https://abetterrouteplanner.com) using the Hyundai Kona 64 kWh as your car. It will likely include Tesla charging sites in the route plan. Probably some of the same sites you used.

I tried planning a route from Amsterdam to Madrid with the Kona on A Better Routeplanner. I configured it to prefer Tesla chargers over other sites. All but one of the charging stops used Tesla for charging.
Yes, it's only convenient on Apple devices. But it's still doable if you don't access that much stuff on other devices, e.g. when I need to access something on my Windows computer (which basically exists to run Microsoft Flight Simulator), I just manually retype passwords from my iPad.
'A moonshot story': Q&A with CEO Astro Teller
I honestly don't want to be locked out of my passwords, just because Apple decides to block my account for "abuse", because I use iTunes Music Fitness Plus from wrong country or whatever.

There are all these "lol we blocked you for abuse, good luck doing anything :^) I guess complain on twitter lol" horror stories that I don't want to be locked down to one provider that does _everything_, the way Google or Apple does.

Even the fact that I have all e-mail at Google that can randomly ban me for "abuse" makes me scared, but I don't want to figure out how to move all my mail history to ProtonMail or AOL or whatever. I will need to have that as a risk.
It's a brief survey for https://www.usebeforesunset.com/. Spun out of https://brewww.com/ I think, or possibly a subteam within it. Adequately interesting question/answer set.

Quite a few people living in South Korea say exactly that: they keep an old laptop around only for online banking. And they try to avoid whatever else requires IPinside and similar applications.

This solves the issue at least partially on the individual level. But most people will in fact not do this.

> due to historical licensing and external dependencies (Java is the big one).

If this is a big reason, then a big reason is eliminated since Google has won the lawsuit against Oracle and have moved to OpenJDK so the licensing concerns are moot.
With respect, these examples seem to be summarising the plot of a story rather than actually telling a story.
The title should mention South Korea explicitely because without that we may believe that North Korea is included in the story.

Hey. I'm Adrian, author of Avo. Avo is similar to Refine but for Ruby on Rails.

It helps developers create CRUD-like applications such as internal tools, admin panels, Content Management Systems and user-facing apps.

<< Imagine, there are consequences if you lie to your employer and yourself about your actual worth, knowledge and work ethics! What a surprise!

Um. Last time I checked, Google interviews are not known for being easy to the point that just being interviewed says something about the candidate ( they either have an in with someone or have some level of expertise ) and bestows some credence for recruiters. If that is the case, was the person able to fool the entire sets of panels interviewing that person? If so, the failure may not be of the individual. The system that allowed the individual to pass is flawed.

<< Because we all know that bosses choose to be evil, they never make decisions based on.. let's see.. numbers.

Sure, but numbers don't suggest anything other than slower growth. Not a loss of revenue, but slower, than an activist investor wants, growth.

I personally call BS on the 'they base it on numbers you know'. Some do, but they are a minority. I won't subject you to details, but I can explicitly say that the extent to which data is used as a justification for an already made decision is disheartening. Sometimes even if you have all the info, data and numbers, it will not matter. The decision was made despite it.
If one takes enrollment in the Nazi party as contradictory to goodness (and I am happy to), then the first sentence is true to that extent. I have my doubts on the happy, secure, and gentlemanly ones, even among the committed, let alone the time-servers. And was Heidegger frustrated and humiliated in the early 1930s? It seems to me that there were quite a few von Thises and zu Thats with names in the Almanach de Gotha who signed up.

If she had wished to say "good people don't go Nazi", well and good. To say "nice people" is to bring the argument to the level of esthetics.

[..]The population of the world’s third-biggest economy has been in decline for several years, and suffered a record fall of 644,000 in 2020-21, according to government data. It is expected to plummet from its current 125 million to an estimated 88 million in 2065 – a 30% decline in 45 years.[..]

Population of Japan in 1800 was 30 million. Japan in 1950 was 90 million.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1066956/population-japan...

Meanwhile: [..]As of 2021, South Korea is the country with the world's lowest total fertility rate at 0.81. The TFR of the capital Seoul was 0.63 in 2021.[..]

The declining TFR is in countries with the highest population density. I am surprised that the brightest minds in the world are hand wringing over what is essentially an obvious mathematical certainty. It’s exponential growth. Across the world, population will peak and then plummet. As it should for the survival of the human species and the rest of the eco system.

Gut. I meant gut not guy.
This is one of those worldviews that seems to be common among US-Americans, but sounds totally bizarre from an outside perspective. You say "If you don't want to live in that world, start your own startup, hire people, and never fire them.", but why should that be my course of action instead of working collectively to make sure that companies' decisions are driven by all stakeholders--owners (shareholders), employees, customers, and regulators to the extent that the company's actions generate negative externalities. Why should that be my course of action instead of advocating for change, and expressing my displeasure and outrage when large companies act in ways that I would never accept from a human being with empathy? Yes it's my business, because I live in the world, in a society, and everyone who lives in a society is affected by everyone else.

I was really fascinated to learn that most North Americans never even encounter the concept of ordocapitalism/ordoliberalism in their basic economics courses. Somehow, a concept of capitalist economic organization that has been the recipe for success for the creation of most successful economic turnaround in modern times is just...ignored?
I quite like Microsoft/Azure from a development perspective. If you're running .NET, Application Insights alone is nearly enough to put it above the competition. I appreciate how it integrates with AZD/Teams and the platform as a whole felt much more cohesive than AWS.

The monthly $60-$100 developer credit was fantastic as well. It avoided the usual fighting for approval/budget to test things out.
Certainly there's a lower bound at which a business owner won't be able to staff their restaurant, but that lower bound isn't one penny less than the status quo. Rather, there's some shitty middle region, where employees are generally dissatisfied with their wages but not desperate enough to leave.

On an emotional level, I totally agree. But as a developer of creative tools, I've been trying to make sense of what's good and bad in this field. Arguably, all creative software is at least partially automating creativity (photoshop, ableton etc). But my conclusion so far is that the gross part is when the user inputs a vague request and a finished product comes out. Contrastingly, if the user can make continuous changes with realtime monitoring of their actions, then that is an instrument - mostly amplifying the creative impulses of its user (which is good).
Ask HN: Does anyone still get random emails sent to their Gmail
There was a time when I used to get some random guy’s Facebook friend updates sent to my gmail. His name was nothing like mine.

Similarly, I used to get people’s travel itineraries in my gmail.

It hasn’t happened in a while but that could be because any number of reasons.

1. Did this happen to you?

2. What could be the technical reason why an email addressed to someone else would end up in my inbox?

As others noted, the so-called "status" pages of big service providers don't serve to reflect reality but to shape it. For actual status you need to consult independent monitoring services.
The issue also is (for the banks depending on the application) that they can't trust aplication running on the user's computer. This begs for opensource implementation that returns plausible fake data. :)
Most of the IoT does not care about real time, maybe if you run on the audio controller - but there you have Zephyr now.
> Not sure if its an AMD thing but my friend booted his EPYC server with 256GB of DDR4 ECC RAM for half an hour.

That could be a memory training issue. Using 256GB listed as compatible with the Supermicro motherboard my EPYC server boots in a minute or so. If i configure my workstation memory with weird timings it can take a while for the motherboard to figure out the remaining Auto-timings, possibly adding 4-5 minutes to the boot procedure.

> Speed and work throughput is of utmost importance so ECC I'd say is okay to be sacrificed.

But you don't have to, see my other post in the thread regarding my workstation memory.

> I work for a University, I suspect that if you paid full price for these services it makes no economic sense, a $100 Azure credit that cost $100 is a bad deal

For Cloud to make economic sense, you need to treat it very differently from traditional infrastructure. For example, simply shutting down our Dev environment outside of business hours saves means we're not paying for the compute the majority of the time.
