Show HN: I built an autopilot for the lunar lander game
I got pretty good at (and very addicted to) the lunar lander game from a few days ago...

so I decided to make an autopilot for the lander based on what I felt like was the best strategy! Now I can have perfect landings every time without lifting a finger :D

Writing the autopilot code was a lot more fun than I expected! It felt a bit like programming a robot.

I recognise the title, and remember the experience --- one of those sites where you know exactly what they're trying to sell.
I don't think the title is more editorialized. I agree with you that fluctuations in the stock market are not intrinsically interesting and we usually downweight such stories. Actually I temporarily replaced the other threads's title with this one ("Bank run at Silicon Valley Bank") but then reverted it to the original (of the TC article) because I just didn't know enough to tell which was the fairer description.

Re conflict of interest—there's no relationship here. I'm making the moderation decisions and only have the vaguest awareness of what SV Bank even is, and no reason to care one way or the other.

Edit: I've changed the title on the other one "Bank run on Silicon Valley Bank?" - note the question mark to indicate that we're not sure.

Edit 2: well, you guys were obviously right (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35104396) so I've belatedly taken the question mark off that title.
This title strikes me as incorrect. The user paid for the mailbox as part of the bundle they purchased with their domain name. It was not free.

I was at Google watching the tech all hands with my boss when they announced that "social multiplier" (bonuses tied to success of G+) was going to apply to everyone in the company.

I turned to my boss and said, shit, our bonuses are going to be fucked because G+ is going to flop.

My boss told me not to worry, since "they are never going to be able to admit that this was a failure".

Sure enough, management tried to bullshit everyone on how successful G+ was and we ended up getting a high multiplier for the "success".
I remember the video screenshotted in the article. The one with the Bob stick figures fighting Google+, the same pasted in YT comments with utf8-art tanks. Bad times.

But I don't see what G+ has to do with Bard (for those unfamiliar, their answer to ChatGPT). Really a stretch.
+1 Google Photos is very successful, the product spawned out of G+ auto syncing photos.
I went to high school with Dianna and was good friends with her older sis. They were both super genuine and truly wonderful people back then. I saw this on social media a few days ago from mutual friends, it's really sad to hear how much she's been impacted. Really heartening to see this community cares too. I've seen a lot of go-fund-me grift over the years and am usually an extremely skeptical person, but if Dianna's family is asking for support fwiw I believe that means they really do need it and likely don't have any other options.

None of them say what the product is, what it does, or how to use it — which are the kind of thing one might call guidance and instructions.

Ah yes, the solution is more restrictions on banks to hold exactly the types of assets that are underwater! No, sorry you are wrong. The financial crisis that just started this week is due to banks holding securities that they are required to hold by law - the law considers mortgages and government debt to be safe yet it is now proven (and anyone with basic finance knowledge knew ahead of time) to be extremely unsafe due to interest rate risks. Bailouts incoming!

> During a YC meetup I spoke with a fellow founder that told me how hard it was to pick the right external APIs to use within your own projects. I realized that most of what we build relies on public APIs from external vendors

I have a habit of sleeping under rocks but why do people do this? It seems incredibly brittle and strictly worse than leftpad-esque dependency hell – you can’t freeze or fork an API.

I can understand that for payments, maps or even email sending it’s more convenient, but that’s at least a bounded issue.

Are the apps we are building today gonna work in 3 years without meticulous maintenance? Are we doomed to suffer flaky experiences from compound latencies and rate limiting? And what’s the point of your 5 nines if you rely on third parties anyway?

It is actually important for a dedent function when the interpolands contain newlines. Consider this example:

function fmt(q, a) {
return dedent`\
Question: ${q}
Answer: ${a}
`;
}

Since `dedent` is basically syntactic sugar for developer convenience, we want this function to be equivalent to this:

function fmtDesugared(q, a) {
return `Question: ${q}\nAnswer: ${a}\n`;
}

Now consider this input:

console.log(fmt("a\nb", "c\nd"));
// should print:
Question: a
b
Answer: c
d

But if `dedent` only got to see the string after interpolation—like this—

function fmtWrong(q, a) {
return dedent(`\
Question: ${q}
Answer: ${a}
`);
}

then the input to `dedent` would be

Question: a
b
Answer: c
d

and so `dedent` would not strip any indentation. That is, `dedent` is meant to identify the maximal common leading indentation in the template as written by the developer, which should not depend on the values of the interpolands.

A stale GitHub issue on the dmnd/dedent repo has a real-world example where this matters and led to a subtle bug: https://github.com/dmnd/dedent/issues/22

Open Ran – Same as It Ever Was
5 years ago the developer experience working with the Adyen API was significantly worse than Stripe's. Also, the initial in-person EMV implementation, and how it integrated with online payments, was inferior when compared to Stripe in my opinion.

Our rates were also significantly better with Stripe in the US, though we were doing into the billions in annual transactions, which likely has a lot to do with it (we wouldn't have moved all of those billions to Adyen right away).

Which is all to say, much of what you say is true, but it's not like Adyen is a clear winner.

This activation function is meant to substitute non-linearities in the middle of the neural network (e.g. in the place of ReLU and similar). Since the output is unbounded, you wouldn't want to use it in place of the sigmoid function for binary cross entropy. Furthermore it operates on each output individually, making it a poor substitution for softmax prior to a cross entropy loss.

What’s hilarious about the G+ rollout (in a highly dark comedy way) is that G+ was probably a superior offering than the competition. If Google had given it time and opportunity to fail, it would have succeeded because they could then fix the minor issues people didn’t like.

Instead they forced it on everyone using any Google product, hurting the product itself, but also preventing the critical feedback loop that would have allowed G+ to improve, and become organically successful.

Thanks for sharing. From the article, even the worst of asp.net was often still outperforming Go and other major frameworks. And the versions explicitly pointed out as actually fairly realistic still placed in the 73-86 ranges. In addition, you could do the same exercise with gin, rails, etc and find a lot more variation (though rails and django do basically always suck in comparison)

It's interesting because even the maker of actix (Rust) was pretty explicit about their goal to optimize for these benchmarks. And it really worked to improve the perception of Rust for web dev applications.[0] The current leader is actually JUST which is a JavaScript based framework that's pretty much solely focused on these benchmarks.

I think the strategy for optimizing like this and sometimes even fudging numbers a bit is pretty standard for a new framework or platform trying to make a name for itself (ahembunahem).

Actix is new, JUST is more of an experiment, and tbh I've never even heard of drogon. But when it comes to frameworks like ASP.NET core, Laraval, Rails, Express, etc you can at least trust that they've been around for a long time and there are many proven examples of their application to both commercial and hobby projects. IMO the fact that ASP.NET has been around for so long yet can still top benchmarks like these is still a noteworthy feat. And its undeniable that Django, Rails, Laraval, etc are leagues behind in terms of performance

You're right, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good thing.

As a consumer (or a business client in the case of SVB), how does it benefit you that the bank doesn't simply hold your deposits in a figurative safe somewhere?

At a minimum, I wish I could say it benefits us by banking being free.

Lending could be opt-in. There could exist banks who charge a premium for simply being the custodian of your money. (These must already exist)

Fractional reserve makes money easily available to those seeking money they don't have, at the risk of depositors whose money they're putting on the line.

(For better or worse. I'm not for or against it. I'm certain there are massive benefits to the system. But the reality is the average depositor probably doesn't realize their bank deposits aren't actually theirs - and that's why we have the FDIC)
One snarky edgy tactic I read is for everything human written to include ethnic/racial slurs here and there. ChatGPT and its ilk would never include such words. See also software license schemes using similar verboten terms to ensure no corporation could use the code without explicity violating the license. Simply require [bad word] to be included and you successfully identify as not part of the risk averse hive mind. At least until something changes.

R2 would probably be significantly cheaper because they don't bill for bandwidth, but S3, GCP storage, and Azure storage would likely be in the same ballpark. Blob storage is a commodity service, so the major providers mostly match each other's prices and features.

If you are already using a particular cloud provider for the web application that will be accessing these documents, you should use their blob storage unless you have a compelling reason not to. Communication between a cloud provider's compute and storage services within the same region will have minimal latency.
Isn't that solved with supervised learning?

The way I see it is that internet content is used to bootstrap the models, then supervision is used to train the models without the risk of a feedback loop causing quality loss.

Well.. if we are doing ChatGPT anecdotes.. today I tried to "launch" the new version of https://aidev.codes. It integrates the ChatGPT API with Stability.ai (stable diffusion) for generating images and well as Eleven Labs text-to-speech and can create and immediately host an interactive web page on a custom subdomain.

I need marketing help. Or I should just stop trying. I don't see how people are able to get posts on the home page.. I could not get any attention or comments at all or any real user engagement today. I know this is a useful system or at least worth of a tiny amount of discussion. After working on it for months there is almost no reaction.

I don't think its the website. I think its just that I probably need to buy upvotes or something. But I don't have money for marketing. I'm very bitter.

What I keep telling myself is that marketing is going to be as hard as the programming. Which I have been doing the programming for months, so I will need to do the marketing for a long time also. But I am out of money.

If this doesn't get any traction (which it seems very close to zero) I will be desperate for any kind of contract within about a week. But I don't want to give up on the idea despite the apparent lack of interest. I think the biggest thing is that I only have 100 followers on Twitter or 600 followers on the other account and those people only care about one specific domain.

I also seem to have not been able to get a single upvote on reddit. And only one very short comment.

So I am suspecting that these sites are rigged. Or I should just give up on life? Not that I would actually consider that but that's the feedback that I seem to be getting repeatedly from the world.. that my efforts aren't even worth a short comment disparaging them.

Do you have an example of this as it is against ICANN's rules IIRC.

If there is of course a legitimate instance of reclassification into a premium domain after the fact, you have a big case on your hands.
I just want to point out that GPT isn't a great model for math, and for at least a year we've had better models

>Although LLMs can sometimes answer these types of question correctly, they more often get them wrong. In one early test of its reasoning abilities, ChatGPT scored just 26% when faced with a sample of questions from the ‘MATH’ data set of secondary-school-level mathematical problems.

>But back in June 2022, an LLM called Minerva, created by Google, had already defied these expectations — to some extent. Minerva scored 50% on questions in the MATH data set, a result that shocked some researchers in artificial intelligence (AI; see ‘Minerva’s mathematics test’).
> The hosting question has me a little confused I guess.

I'm not sure how much you've played with Node, Ruby, etc BE ecosystems but there are plenty of "just `git push` and watch you app automatically deploy" services out there that makes it really easy to get started playing around with the actual framework and not get bogged down in docker files or AWS configuration.. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'm also... busy. And I'd like to be able to try out a framework first before I decide if I wanna invest a lot of time working on a full-fledged project with it and these sorts of tools are perfect for that
