The studies linking loneliness (as in aloneness) with blood pressure need to be corroborated with more systematic studies. There is certainly a bias to consider socializing as something pleasant but often it is not. For people who are OK being alone, it's actually mostly other people that are the stressors, not alone-ness

OpenAI closing down and artificially limiting the platform is a perfect opportunity for other projects/companies to fill in the gap. It may not happen immediately (it is a hard problem after all), but just like with Dall-E there will be real (and actually "open") GPT-3.5/ChatGPT alternatives soon enough.
What if people are the real “Artificial” intelligence?

Think about it… we don’t know our maker. We don’t know our purpose. We don’t know what happens when we die.
Other than the basic stock (chicken/mushroom) for ingredients for cooking, I don't see the value. A can redesign might catch the eye, but won't change the prices.

I think the only campbells soup I buy is bean and bacon and tomato. There are more variety and flavors from other brands, bigger cans, same price.
From the article "Pearson Airport's AI system is used during airport security to detect dangerous or prohibited items."

Uh, ok, I thought all airports have already been doing this for decades? One time I got pulled aside because the scanner thought my chocolate bar was a bomb.
If it becomes as difficult as finding any other security bug OpenAI will have solved the jailbreaking problem for practical purposes.
Their point is that you can't choose the cognitively simpler choice because of real world design constraints, such as not consuming all available RAM — i.e., because of essential complexity.
Hey! What's wrong with csv files?!
Ask HN: Is anyone working on LLMs that generate fonts?
This seems like a natural use-case for LLMs, but I couldn't find any research or proof-of-concepts. Is anyone working on this?
Part of the articles point is that for furniture getting plastic in the right shape would be hard. Sure you can use a 3D printer but furniture is massive. You can make a mold… but with what?

If null references are a mistake, isn't initializing an array index variable to -1 a mistake too?
I'd like to see a GPT tool that had ingested the manpages and documentation for all the tools I use, answer my questions based on that. I will type in the commands myself. Bonus points if it included links to the docs so I can double-check.
> Findings

> Our diffusion imaging analyses revealed aberrant fractional anisotropy of the thalamus. Diffusion markers correlated with fatigue severity, such as physical fatigue, fatigue-related impairment in everyday life (Bell score) and daytime sleepiness. Moreover, we observed shape deformations and decreased volumes of the left thalamus, putamen, and pallidum. These overlapped with the more extensive subcortical changes in MS and were associated with impaired short-term memory. While fatigue severity was not related to COVID-19 disease courses (6/47 hospitalised, 2/47 with ICU treatment), post-acute sleep quality and depressiveness emerged as associated factors and were accompanied by increased levels of anxiety and daytime sleepiness.

> Interpretation

> Characteristic structural imaging changes of the thalamus and basal ganglia underlie the persistent fatigue experienced by patients with post-COVID syndrome. Evidence for pathological changes to these subcortical motor and cognitive hubs provides a key to the understanding of post-COVID fatigue and related neuropsychiatric complications.
> All input can be framed as being an event.

Sure, it could be, but is it useful to do that? If I stand up and shout "The price of a Banana is $4 per bushel!", you could record my voice and upload it as a raw wave file. That's the rawest "input event" you can come up with. Or you could write down "some random dude said that bananas cost $4 around 4:30 pm and I'm not sure whether I believe him or not". That's not the "raw input", it's been transcribed and modified and annotated. Yet it's almost certainly more useful to your system, and it's kinda like event sourcing. Kinda.

The problem with worrying about whether something is "input" or "output" or "internal" is that you can just move the dotted line anywhere around your system to change those. If you break a monolith into independent reusable building blocks, those building blocks are going to have a completely different idea of what counts as input and output. But who cares? You're not changing any fundamental truth about how the domain works. Your domain model should really be independent of worrying about what's "input" and "output". Those lines move all the time. Instead think about what operations make sense to do with your data, and then think about the mathematical properties of those operations.

> But "an element's mass was modified" is not an event ... it doesn't describe someone or something giving input to our system.

Sure it does. Someone gave you the input that a particular element has a particular mass. How is that not input? How else did you get that data?

> The algebraic view on things you take seems to be treating the system at a different level than what I think about as event sourcing.

This is my exact point. You should think about event sourcing this way, because that's the only reason it's useful: it's accidentally a source of important "domain algebra" that you otherwise might miss. But there's lots of other important "domain algebra" that you are still missing, and they don't necessarily look like event sourcing.

> An event is "User U clicked a button in the web console to Sell share S at time T".

But surely that's not what you're storing in your system! That would be an extreme coupling between the concept of "selling shares" and "clicking a button". Those are completely unrelated ideas! Why would you want to tightly couple them!? If that's what you think event sourcing is, sorry to be blunt, but you have very badly misunderstood it.
I’m speculating about how this works, but it probably doesn’t make sense for general-purpose email.

For emails between members of one workspace/domain, you can conceptually perform key exchange to implement client-side encryption. You also don’t have spam concerns within members of a workspace.

There’s no general way to do key exchange between different email domains, and you do have spam concerns (which to address requires scanning the content).

There’s no protocol for doing such things over different email domains in a way that’s compatible and interoperable across software stacks. This technology is proprietary, and would make spam challenging to deal with (which again is not a problem within one workspace).

It’s also not clear to me whether this is really client-side encryption, so much as encryption at a layer higher than the email stack. (It’s pretty hard to do client-side encryption in the browser, in a way that matches user expectations. How do you store/retrieve the encryption key?)
If you think this is great and/or immediately thought of using a trie to reduce storage costs, then let me introduce you to https://blog.burntsushi.net/transducers/ which pushes storage reuse over the edge to almost competing with compression like gzip while still allowing you to consider edit distance while finding possible alternatives.

typeaheads/autocomplete and spellchecking both need this so worth a read.
I have already designed a prototype and I really like it! Well done.
Then have fun running GNU stuff on ChromeOS, specially the devices that don't support the GNU/Linux sandox (crostini).

Maybe take advantage of WASM for it.

And even if Crostini is available, the usual stuff

https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439

-- Cameras aren't yet supported.

-- Android devices are supported over USB, but other devices aren't yet supported.

-- Android Emulators aren't yet supported.

-- Hardware acceleration isn't yet supported, including GPU and video decode.

-- ChromeVox is supported for the default Terminal app, but not yet for other Linux apps.
that's the intended behavior.

this somewhat mirrors what happens with a std::vector when you call resize() except of course c doesn't have default ctors. the point of resize is to make exactly "size" elements of the dynamic array addressable.
> The US is a country of immigrants who for the most part came here because they valued the individual over the community.

Not enirely true, many immigrants came for better or better perceived economic opportunities and many continue to have strong but closed communities. Their children, the second generation immigrants allign themselves closer with US culture and values leaving behind communities for more individual values.
Yeah, while both genders can certainly experience and have loneliness, it's massively more an endemic issue in males.

I think the mobile phone (original, not just smart phone) killed it to some extent as you would arrange things on the phone and not pop in.
Don't store the encrypted passwords locally. Have them on a server that deliver them only against a valid otp/push notification confirmation on your phone/yubikey tap etc.
You understand that if i lend you $100 to buy a car, you pay off 50%, i can sell the car for $70, i would have to give you $20 (you only owe me $50). There are strict rules what you can do state by state, but generally you can't repossess something worth more than the outstanding balance and keep the rest as a profit

For example here's NY state

If you've already paid more than 60 percent of the amount you owe when the car is repossessed, the creditor must auction it within 90 days. During this time, you can still get your car back, says the New York City Bar Legal Referral Service. You have up until the car is actually sold or leased to settle with the lender. You might have to pay the past due amounts, but often you'll be asked to pay the entire loan balance.

After the auction, the creditor can apply the proceeds toward fees and expenses relating to the repossession and the unpaid balance on the loan. The lender must give you a completed an Affirmation of Repossession and Bill of Sale. After all expenses are paid, you're entitled to the balance of the proceeds.

A bunch of announcements including:

- Phone Link for iOS (iMessage on Windows)
- Windows Studio Effects (some sort of webcam AI effect thing for auto-framing / eye contact)
- Teams more tightly integrated (and maybe renamed to "Chat", or just branded as such)
- More widgets (I hope these are still removable via `winget uninstall "Windows web experience Pack"`)
- Screen recording in Snipping Tool (that's actually pretty cool, I was using the Xbox Game Bar for doing screen recording)
- Tabs in Notepad
- AI for local search (files in the start menu - not clear on what this is exactly)

I have traveled quite a bit and found that even within the U.S., food safety regulations are very variable. Some counties and states take food safety very seriously. Some do not.
I am going to look at this, and if it is cool I may even bring it to the attention of the capricious gods capable of buying software at my company, but seeing Excel and Data Science in the same sentence, while individually concerning, fills me with a deep sense of foreboding.
Yes, but it doesn't mean you have to actually have built anything or even be able to build anything. The filing of the patent application is considered a constructive reduction to practice:

> Reduction to practice may be an actual reduction or a constructive reduction to practice which occurs when a patent application on the claimed invention is filed. The filing of a patent application serves as conception and constructive reduction to practice of the subject matter described in the application. Thus the inventor need not provide evidence of either conception or actual reduction to practice when relying on the content of the patent application.

Another different failure point. I once broke my android phone and bought and set up a new one - only to find I can no longer access my Gmail account that I used before with my Google authenticator, so I am locked out forever from that account. I had a backup but was not able to find it. Despite knowing hundreds of contact emails (all backed up in thunderbird), account history, password history, etc - for years I have not been able to get back in.
I've been on the BB ecosystem and usually was between the major carriers. If I recall correctly, some carriers charged a small $10 premium for the Blackberry Data plan versus the normal data plan -- for others it was the same.

BBM if you recall was the cool, exclusive phone (think early Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton), but then iPhone came along and had cool apps. They were Blackberry exclusive until they started losing share to Android and iPhone. By the time it was too late, you could use BBM on iPhone and Android.

To me, iMessage is the same, (maybe even less than BBM was more like a chatroom too) but has reigned supreme for longer.
Thats just idiomatic C. Set the "pointer to end" to be equal to the "pointer to start".
perhaps this approach can lead to better training of foundational models?..
There should be an email option at the bottom too! And thank you for the high praise!
I did this. It's a fun niche to exist in! For folks like me who want to enjoy tinkering but also love writing, I think it's an underappreciated space. So many engineers lean as far as possible into the deeply technical bits that focusing on the "soft" bits like writing and communication is a nice way to stand out.
likely much less wind too, which would have the same effect
This is like talking about "de"Platforming... why doesn't anyone talk about how these people GOT their platform and why people kept giving them a platform? Capitalism.

"re"Possess? How about talking about Possessing in the first place?

Why do we have so much "garbage" parked on our streets, namely cars that are owned but not used?

Just like the American Dream of owning a home (and working 30 years to pay the money you rented to do that), or De Beers diamonds, or College, or whatever, there is a concerted effort to make you crave that thing and make that big-ticket purchase. Mainly to give into all the social pressure mechanisms.

The car manufacturer industry relies on this kind of stuff -- to sell more cars. And sometimes they dial it to an 11:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNzXze5Yza8

And the fossil fuel industry had relied for decades on colluding with them to make sure cars are locked into one type of fuel (fossil fuels). All your other appliances have long ago been able to take electricity -- so they can be powered by hydro, geothermal, solar, wind, nuclear fission, and even fusion as soon as it's enabled. But not cars, no.

And government of course worked hand-in-hand with industry to subsidize fossil fuels and delay electric cars and battery tech: https://vimeo.com/547118547

The only people that this article would alarm are those who believe they want to own a self-driving car. Most people would just time-share them, and self-driving cars would be operated by Uber (another hyper-capitalist company that currently takes 50% of all drivers' wages, but soon the robots will replace them so it won't be an issue).

And we would finally have less parked cars on the streets, open more lanes, and the cities can become more beautiful.
Not that anxious at the moment. Could be a problem in future. There are also about 13000 nuclear warheads, climate is changing in a dangerous way, etc. etc.

It could be the case that only AI might be able to survive on our planet in a century or so.
I agree with you there are many simulations/alternate reality scenarios but I wanted to focus on the current version we are in right now :)
Would be nice if it automatically uses degrees Celcius instead of Fahrenheit if the location is Europe. Also for visibility and wind speed, km instead of mi.
> the Church teaches that offering some form of material support to the Church is obligatory for all Catholic adults who are able to do so, it doesn’t specify what percent of one’s income should be given

I wasn't raised Catholic so can't speak to their practices, but this also seems to agree that it is suggested to devote some percentage of your income and it's kinda required if you're able to

I think it should be more like - "Church service - $10 or free if you can't afford it", having it be tied to a percentage of the person's income is what makes it more of a pyramid scheme thing, and also seems to imply that the person owes their success to the church. I know a lot of people may believe that but it seems dangerous to encourage organizations to tell their members that they owe their success to the organization
> and will eventually include [...] the LSP

The even larger news is buried right there. TS desperately needs an LSP that is up to the task of inference, tools like tRPC are completely reliant on TS inference and its performance is currently awful.
Similarly to the iPhone (and Android) dethroning Blackberry, will there be a new "iPhone" -- and will we finally see iMessage on Windows/Android by then?

We're looking for the "Goldilocks Zone" of privacy. We want:

* Enough privacy that activists don't wind up facing death squads
* Not so much privacy that drug cartels wind up running the country.

The problem is that cryptography is all or nothing: for a given observer, the transaction is either private or it isn't.

I'm fascinated by models like differential privacy. Maybe there are ways of making systems which snare large scale abuses but provably leave the minnows free.
You are a person of iron discipline, and I respect it. This was almost done at my current workplace, but the spreadsheets were not adequately formatted/enforced early on, and there wasn't political will to insist users re-do work if a newer version had been produced, so it fell to the engineers.

I give you, and only you, a pass to use these in the future.
Not just cryptographic. I wonder if a malicious image could exceed FCC limits or even cause the link to fail.
Moved to the US many years ago after living in Asia and in Europe and I've struggled the most here in making friends and meeting new people.
I thought it was me and even moved to a bigger city in the US and still find it hard to make meaningful connection with anyone.
Like others mentioned maybe it's the American capitalism, or internet. I think also maybe cars (greater distance, individual travel, road rage, etc.) influence in how we feel lonely but still surrounded by people.

Time to buy Lada stupid LADA.
I must plead before HN that I actually didn't post this myself because I wasn't making a serious case, and was mostly just having a bit of fun. I don't want business users to feel bad about their spreadsheet use because it does empower them, but they certainly drive me crazy at times. However, for some actual points, discussing spreadsheets specifically and ignoring SharePoint etc:

- As another pointed out, the sheets tend to have no constraints on what users enter

- Users will tend to begin performing ad-hoc queries inside the spreadsheet, making reading it a nightmare later on
- If you look away from three seconds, the data will be pivoted into a format that makes it super hard to move to a database later on

- People will start to keep multiple versions of the sheet around like 'analysis', 'analysis_final', and 'analysis_FINAL', scatter them around a network drive, and trust God to sort them out later

- Probably a million more things that I can't think up ad hoc

At work, I do relentlessly advocate for us not to use spreadsheets, though I certainly don't threaten people in this way. And that's because we have the resources to do things better, and instead of empowering people the right way, we get them to do everything in Excel instead of leveraging the real power of the appropriate technology. There's probably an extensive place for Excel, when wielded responsibly or in contexts where there's no way at all that you can afford the staff to manage a more robust solution.

And, most importantly, I was hoping the judge would be lenient if my lawyer could reasonably argue that I warned the victims.
My aspiration as a programmer and security engineer is to one day be regarded as "just weird in a cool way".

Until that day comes, I keep working at it.
Thanks for the detailed comment!

Certainly there are languages more closely related to English, like Dutch or Swedish / Norwegian, that stand sort of midway between English and (High) German. But if we take older languages, like classic Latin, or those with many archaic features, like Lithuanian, the distance from English syntax and grammar becomes pretty large.

I suspect that languages tend to simplify in grammar in areas where several different languages have to coexist: say, England had Germanic, Celtic, and French languages interacting for quite some time, with some Latin thrown in by the church.

I suspect that Mandarin Chinese also resulted from many languages on a pretty large territory interacting a lot, shaving grammatical complexity bit by bit.
IMO, this is the hardest part of maintaining a web scraper. We had ~100 scripts to scrape ~1000 clients' sites and it was, at minimum, 50 hours a week to keep up with changes.

The second hardest part was 30% of our clients all used the same hosting provider, which would start to fail at 10-20 req/s. We had to throttle the sites by IP, cluster-wide.
For me, it was the history data. I could check if it snowed in the last couple days in a new location and whether it melted yet. With most weather apps, the furthest back I can see is midnight, which does not even answer the question of whether there are going to be puddles/snow/slush/ice on the ground that formed since the time I went to sleep.
That looks great! How much was the e-ink screen itself?
Total hype.
It's not clear that the US is actually further in the future in this sense than Western/Northern Europe. Demographically speaking, we are behind them and headed in their direction, so it could well be the case that we will follow suit in de-prioritizing economic growth relative to quality of life and social cohesion. If you look at the political leanings of the younger vs. older generations, it seems reasonably likely.

Japan is also a complex case. While there are the well-known issues with loneliness, suicide, overwork, etc., it also beats the US in most quality of life metrics. It has very high social trust, low inequality, very low crime, affordable housing, universal healthcare, and so on.
I actually wrote a little disclaimer at the bottom, because this is largely true (I have some quibbles, but I'm 90% in agreement), then decided that backing down at the end of what is obviously meant to be a funny piece was terrible.
