Headline here is misleading: it's not a Boston Dynamics' robot dog. It's made by Petoi, and called Bittle.

— I own one, after backing the kickstarter for it.

It's a cool introduction to microcontrollers, programming and such. Although it's more at the animatronics end of the scale than full-blown robotics, due to the usefulness and quantity of the sensors on it. It's quite versatile though, for what it is: has a few expansion parts (sensors, alternate controller board, etc) available from the same company, and can kinda connect to any stuff one might connect to a hobbyist microcontroller.

The code for it is actively developed on Github (OpenCat).
Note that if this project succeeds, then dinosaurs are not far behind.

For example, we have dinosaur bones, but very little actual dodo fossils (apparently only one foot and one piece of jaw [1]). The way this project is described, they will not need DNA of the dodo itself, only of its closest living relative (Nicobar pigeon) and closest extinct relative where we have DNA (Rodrigues solitaire). The genome of the dodo will be recreated by interpolation.

Could that work for dinosaurs? Why not? There are lots of living relatives (all the birds, including the famous Cassowary, which some call a "living dinosaur"). We can do lots of genome interpolation, and we can identify the genes related to various morphological features. Not different at all from what they plan to do with the dodo.

Would we ever get actual dinosaur DNA? Never say never. But even if we don't, it's quite likely we'll be able to deextinct the dinosaurs, if we can deextinct the Dodo.

The part about compute cost ruining the economics of AI companies is somewhat hilarious and eye rolling to me for the following simple reason: users have computers right in front of them.

Some models are small enough to run locally. For the rest is it conceivable to ask the customer to contribute cycles? Especially for anything cheap or free?

There might be major technical challenges here but that’s not my point. My point is that I get the distinct impression this has barely occurred to most of these people as a possibility to even explore.

Are we so far into peak SaaS now that the industry has forgotten about local compute the same way we forgot about data centers during peak PC?
Well by all accounts (of people that seem competent on the internet...) the source is just fine as it's own beacon. Even detectable by a low flying helicopter with the right equipment.
"Counterculture" is a very US- and Anglo-centric term to begin with. It implies that there is a "mainstream" culture to be opposed. In this view there are nerds with eyeglasses and specific interests and normies with a better chance of reproduction. The mainstream culture is the post-WW2 consumer culture that grew around commercial TV shows, blockbuster movies and advertising and household consumption through items like washing machines and vacuum cleaners.

Today, YouTube and TikTok are channels which multiply and amplify this kind of culture worldwide.
I understand what you’re saying, but if you could load Python into your brain, I suspect the laws would quickly change to reflect that new reality.

The biological/evolutionary limits of humans are core assumptions of current laws, and I’d argue that the operating environment has changed enough to make those assumptions outdated.

> Memorising a picture using a fleshy model is fine

I imagine the fleshy model is fine not because it’s fleshy, but because it’s the model that people were targeting when writing current laws.

Even if no memorization occurred, there are still big questions about why such a model should be treated like anything other than just another computer program from a legal perspective.
As an engineer who has worked as the hiring manager and directly looked through hundreds of resumes, I can say that with FAANG your resume probably would get pulled out of the stack. But maybe not. I found that, for better or worse, the only resume's that definitely got a look (and if they were above the bar, an interview) were ones that had a personal referral attached to them. It pulls it out of the stack. Frankly, I don't really apply for jobs without having a referral, I think it's often a waste of time. There's no guarantee your resume will make it out of a sea of others that look just like it otherwise.

Second, as other people have mentioned, sometimes FAANG can scare companies away. They see your resume and think "gosh, he's expensive, there's no way he'll sign at the rates we're offering". This happened to my father - MBA, 30 years of experience, he found that companies didn't want to hire him because he would "be too expensive" or "was more experienced" than they wanted.

Combination of those two factors could be it.

Before anyone like me gets excited about this, know that they are as loud as a jet engine.

Good in some situations, inappropriate in an office environment, wear hearing protection.
just my 2 cents, I also have had 5 jobs around the same amount of time, non-FAANG but a diff industry. For me personally, 3 of those jobs were 2-3 years, and the other 2 were short stints at place that were a bad fit. I still get interviews and callbacks and general interest. I only know of one place that was not interested due to the short tenure at some places. It probably also helps that I moved cities to explain some of these hops. Basically I don't think this is such a hard and fast rule that short tenure == no callbacks.

While personally, the experience lived up to some of the hype, social media claims of it implementing entire front ends turned out to be fake. Clearly, this models performs well on in-sample tasks, and is far off on anything else.

That wasn't my experience. ChatGPT dealt with everything I threw at it, except when it refused to, and even then I could get round it by telling it to pretend etc. Every wild example that I saw on twitter I was able to reproduce
Hi foks Louis & Ben here.

We just wanted to share Embedbase. Embedbase is an open-source api to easily create, store, and rerieve embeddings.

It started out as an internal api for an Obsidian plugin we developed called [AVA](https://github.com/louis030195/obsidian-ava). We use it in AVA to find similar notes ([see small demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25003283/213157399...)), but you can potentially use it to do anything that openai embeddings can do.

Right now it's really quite barebones and basically just abstracts the openai embeddings api & pinecone, but we're planning on making it easy to work with whatever database or auth mechanism.

You can have a look at the github repo here:
[https://github.com/another-ai/embedbase](https://github.com/...

Or can sign up for the upcoming hosted version:
[https://yep.so/p/embedase](https://yep.so/p/embedase)
As long as these AI models are unable to transparently explain themselves then all of this is essentially a vacuum of hype to those who don't understand that such black box models are essentially 'throw more money and data on it' for the gamble on accuracy and the risk of overfitting and wasting money.

No different to the majority of proof-of-waste cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Similar sources like the ones who advocated that covid affected mostly the elderly so 'it was okay'. ~200 years of capitalism fostered institutions that propagate its interests. 'The literature' that opposed lockdowns came from mainly Angloamerica. Not even France, Germany or Greece. Not China. Not Korea. Not India.

And with Angloamerica, we mean the US and the UK, really. The others arent even second bananas in the affair. These two countries where deregulated capitalism rides on the stock market, any disruption to the economy is less desirable than the lives of people. Worse, this mentality is normalized. Only in such an environment prominent figures could come up saying 'Covid affects the elderly so its ok'. In any other country on the planet someone saying this would be socially and politically castrated. Not in the US or the UK.

Quarantines were and are always worth it during epidemics and pandemics. Asia had been using them for decades to combat many lesser epidemics until covid. This 'quarantines are not worth it' is a nonsense that has originated from the financial establishment in the Anglosphere only because it was detrimental to stock prices. For no other reason. From the same place comes 'masks dont work' and 'covid is just a flu'.

One must remember that even 'neutral' science has problems with funding bias in an ideal setting...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funding_bias

...whereas private think tanks in Anglosphere literally produce whatever 'research' to support whatever view you want for the right price. Really, at this point the Anglosphere and its institutions cannot be taken as references for anything with their ultra sold-out, principle-free state...

In terms of information history, we're still in the newborn stage. We don't even have a single generation that has been born and died with access to instant worldwide communication - that will happen when I and my cohort die. I was one of the first kids to be able to independently access information without my local community adults gatekeeping it. It's one of those little things that becomes a big thing in hindsight, like being able to read the Bible in the vernacular. Gen Z (and maaaybe some Millennials like myself but that's questionable) are the first generation to grow up with geographically-independent hobbies and subcultures. Even the old stodgy or corporatized Internet has this property.
> The deal does mention "opportunities for the Finnish defense industry related to the direct manufacture and maintenance of the F-35..." which I'm not sure exactly what it is.

The article has: The principle is simple: Finland is to be able to keep the aircraft up in the air even if the borders are shut. To ensure that Finland will have an indigenous maintenance and repair capability for over 100 components (including parts of the fuselage and engine), which is based on the items covered by the industrial cooperation agreement. There will also be significant stockpiles of components that aren’t on the list of items which Finland can repair and overhaul organically (often parts with very long mean time between failures, and for which it aren’t economical to build up an independent repair capability). Notable is also that the Finnish organic repair capability is not just for domestic use, but is also part of the GSS (the global support solution) meaning that they will be used to maintain parts for the global spares pool.
Removing duplicates and very near duplicates ought to be one of the first things done to any training dataset...

Do we have an idea of what the costs to run ChatGPT might be? Are we costing OpenAI $5 everytime we ask it to generate python in the style of Donald Trump?
I guess I’m just trying to be a little generous. They probably know it’s a risk and either rationalize it away with something along the lines of “well, it’s such a tiny minuscule piece from so many different people that it’s not really stealing“ or just pretend they don’t know. At this point the ignorance does seem willful.

Either way, I’m more just curious what other people have to say on the matter as I am not as knowledgeable of subject. I am on the creator side and it’s all bad news over here.
Almost all larger documentation tends to be very separated from the code it's describing, e.g. conceptual docs that cover the whole thing.

And fairly often that's significantly more useful information, or in a much more useful format, than the documentation of X on its own.
>The fee gets taken regardless.

The fee gets paid back in full to you by Stripe if you win the dispute.
That's right. Stripe is charged regardless of the dispute outcome (the networks don't refund the fee). So our focus is twofold: prevent disputes from happening in the first place and help users manage them if/when they occur.
Should we save that person that we have in front? After all, thousands are dying every hour around the world. Distribution matters, you can't be everywhere.

It is a good proof of concept, but that won't change that we are in the sixth big mass extinction in the history of the planet, and that we are the main drivers of it. And that, after we finish even with ourselves no one will be left to de-extinct us.

Show HN: Contactless Testdrive Plaform
Hello,

while selling a car, I had to make a lot of time to schedule all the test drives for people interested in my offering.

This is not easy with a full time job!

So I heard that in Singapore, Hyundai made a trial platform that allows users to test drive vehicles in a contactless manner, including keyless entry via web API and more.

Since I could not find a replica of such a service in my country, I set out to do my own version and hence my platform twinzok.com was born.

It allows people to list their vehicle and offer test drives and viewings at any time. Only people that have a verified license can drive. Just like online rental services. This solves my time problem as I do not have to be present during the viewings and drives anymore.

Right now the service is a in trial phase but the main components are working.

I wanted to know what you think of this idea and whether you see any use in it.

Thank you for your attention!

It would be more cost effective for people around Manhattan to build up to 5 floors, and then extend the subway out to them. (assuming reasonable costs - NYC subways cost 7-10 times what they should to build). This would extend the built up area of NYC by quite a lot.

Now that Hong Kong is reunified with the mainline (since 1997 IIRC) they have been building out to the mainland. Of course when your city is land constrained there is no choice but to build up.
1% is enormous for this. I think the cost of a SWIFT transfer is maybe $3 to them, regardless of amount. If you're doing $100k/month of USD sales and payout once a week, it is a huge markup.

They are clearly losing money on their (really expensive) forex fees so are trying to recoup this by this payment.

There is no intrinsic reason I see why the fees are so high for this.

Edit to add: they actually use ACH for US bank USD payouts, so even less cost than SWIFT.

Your resume tells a story. What story does yours tell? If you haven't stayed very long at jobs, red flag. If you have done a lot of different things that don't relate to the job you're applying for, yellow flag. FAANG salary? Red flag. Mid-20s? Yellow flag (sorry, ageism is real: if they're looking for senior/leadership/etc that's unlikely to be found in someone in their 20s). Pay for a professional resume review and fix any problems they find, whether you agree or not. Keeping multiple resumes is best practice, and always write a good cover letter.

Focus on your professional network. Most of your jobs should be coming from referrals from coworkers, not cold-calls on a jobs board. This is the only way to continuously get hired regardless of the job market, and is very important as you get older (again: ageism is real).

Personal projects count for a lot for a software developer. Make sure you have at least a couple small projects that you maintain regularly. Contributing to open source is nice, but unless you're a major contributor, it isn't a big factor the way owning a project is. Make it really shiny: good docs, clean code, linting, testing, CI/CD. Using the latest tech is encouraging.

You're applying during a time when hundreds of thousands have been layed off at the beginning of an economic recession. It's gonna be hard for anyone but the most qualified candidates to land a job now. Just look for the jobs you're a shoe-in for, get employed, wait for a better role.

Several US states are trying to make it illegal to be trans or even dress in a gender nonconfirming way. Queerness still carries a certain amount of real, physical risk; Norway Pride 2022 was cancelled because somebody shot up a gay bar and murdered two people.
This is no longer true if you want to talk to 5 different processors, or want to swap one out for another easily.
Yes, that's basically exactly what happened. I'm not digging up the previous piece I read (sorry), so I may be slightly misstating this, but basically the capsule was inside a sensor which was inside a wooden box bolted to the bed of the truck. On the 1600km of rough roads, the sensor vibrated to pieces, the capsule fell out, one of the bolts holding the box down also vibrated free, and the capsule fell down through the bolt hole. Pretty crazy.
I am not arguing that it won't be successful, just that I don't like it at its current stage of progress. Actually most of the music that people hear our days is nothing special either (either quite dumb or just a rinse-repeat of some older successful musical forms).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the spec already allows for this.
I think some of the really challenging aspects of this piece is there's a lot of comparisons that really hinge on details that are both fixable (ie, not baked into the F-35 vs Rafale airframe selection per-se), or are details that -really- the greater community couldn't possibility -really- have insight into.

Examples:

* When discussing situational awareness, the article grants similar raw data gathering capabilities to both platforms, but then grants the overall win to Rafale because of better data presentation, claiming that the F-35 just dumps piles of raw numerical data at the pilot. Now, given the age of this article, I can connect to problems that Lockheed Martin had in delivering working sensor fusion software around that timeframe. To be fair to the article, that was actually a problem. But as a software problem, it's much more fixable. I can't find any recent discussion on broken sensor fusion or F-35 information overload.

* I automatically red flag high precision/confidence discussion about RCS, radar set and IR search/track performance. Like... it's for sure some of the most sensitive parts of fighter platform performance. I would take the entire section with a grain of salt as well.

* The entire engagement scenario chosen heavily boils down to missile choice/availability. There's no argument that AIM-120D has significant limitations in range compared to some of its peers, but this is also a solvable problem (AIM-260 in development). Weapons availability/compatibility is definitely a valid consideration when choosing between platforms, but should be weighed appropriately.

* The engagement scenario is also a bit weird. It doesn't consider for example a pair of Rafales vs pair of F-35 (which would be much more likely scenario... wingmen exist for a reason). It removes AWACS (while AWACS is obviously very vulnerable, it's unclear to me that they would be fully neutralized in a peer conflict). It doesn't consider that data-links might actually be hard to jam. Because it doesn't consider cooperation, it doesn't consider that perhaps F-35s could work together, with one using its radar and feeding it's data to the other. Basically, the engagement scenario removes the F-35's greatest structural advantage (it's radar stealth). Now, I think it's completely fair to consider that scenario, but to be honest you'd need to consider it against other engagement scenarios and then weigh the relatively likelihood/importance of the different scenarios.
