Ask HN: Trying to find a short scifi story posted here
Hello HN. A long time ago I found a link to a short scifi story that made it to the homepage of HN, but I lost the link. I really liked it and want to re-read; this is the plot of the story:

> Humans discovered through space observation that they are actually a simulation inside some other civilization. The catch is that because we run on their computers, our time goes way faster than theirs. And then (I think) we use this advantage to try and escape the simulation.

Any ideas?
Consider rereading what I wrote. I'm not arguing against progress, and even directly mentioned progress is probably what we should be doing here, I'm just explaining part of why sometimes progress in cases like this feel like a mixed bag and to some people there is a very palpable sense of "disappointment" or "loss" to be felt here. That disappointment/loss isn't a reason to avoid progress, an argument against progress, but it is something to reflect upon as a culture because it tells us something about what we value and who we were.
Oh yeah that's a very common thing for bootstrappers specifically, the obsession over product sometimes to the detriment of everything that surrounds it.

Good luck, I hope your startup exceeds your expectations!

Don't you mean not enough billionaires? It seems like they are the only ones that can circumvent the political roadblocks to deliver things like cost plus drugs. There aren't that many of them nor are they involved in a lot of the industries plagued with these issues.

Most issue are from regulator capture from honestly not even that rich of people.
Maybe HN spoiled me, but the information density is way too low. By default I see 6 headlines, zoomed out to 50% I see 9 headlines. Compared with HN where I can see ~23 stories with the default zoom level.

You could probably re-evaluate if the article images are adding actual value to the listing. And if they don't, maybe it makes more sense to have it in a list format.

I guess what I really want after-all is a website like HN (like, identical) but catered to the AI community instead of general hackers community.

In this case they trained a model from scratch, which means they built their own LLM, which is what's called a transformer, on their own financial data. How transformers work in detail is a little bit more involved.

That's not the same as indexing which is a way to tune an existing model for a particular context.
My issue with mpge is twofold.

1. The amount of energy in a gallon of fuel is not constant. Where I live you can buy E85 (24kWh/gal) E15 (31kWh) E10 (32kWh) E0 (34kWh) biodiesel (37kWh) or petroleum diesel (38kWh). These numbers shift a few percent depending on temperature, altitude blend, brand, and season (summer vs winter blend)

2. The fraction is upside down! This is no big deal if you can flip it in your head to get fuel consumption, but many people cannot do this. The difference in fuel consumption between 13mpg and 15mpg is twice as large as the difference between 40mpg and 50mpg. It's just not intuitive.

> Nuclear still costs them more than solar and wind

...if you ignore storage.

Solar and wind will continue to be the most expensive, difficult to scale method until the issue of energy storage is resolved.

Batteries are getting cheaper, but they're not being produced on the scale necessary to supplant base load power. Until then, you need to calculate the full cost of base load into the cost of solar and wind if you want to consider them a substitute, rather than a compliment.

Hello! I'm a full-stack software engineer currently working in a remote-first SaaS startup.

I'm most familiar with Typescript, Ruby, and React but am eager to learn new things. Prefer the back-end and am interested in roles where I could explore DevOps or data engineering.

I also built Aria: an open-source, stand-alone canary deployment tool (Typescript, AWS, Svelte, Docker, Prometheus, Go).

Surely this must at the very least be illegal advertising or something like that. He literally owns one the largest ad platform in the world and sells ads to other people. He then uses his ownership to put an ad for a currency he has stakes in. He doesn’t just put this ad somewhere where other ads goes, but in a very prominent location, visible to all users, even those with ad-blockers, other customers don’t have the option of buying an ad placement like this.

Getting ChatGPT (or any good-enough LLM) to generate/manipulate/edit/find discrepancies with PDFs would be great too. Probably best done with a plugin so it can execute code though. Dumping the PDF to HTML, telling ChatGPT to edit the HTML, then converting it back to a PDF is probably a non-starter although that does work on a basic level.

Anything ChatGPT<->PDF is probably a good business idea IMO. That stuff comes down to developers so often that it's almost a career specialization and PDF code can be unfun and tedious to write and maintain.

> Half the posts in this thread bring back the old SlashDot adage: The plural of anecdote is not data.

I find the application of this logic to be entirely one-sided. Positive anecdotes are data, negative anecdotes are wives tales.

Simplifying medical information into data points is a dangerous practice which by now should be revealing itself as entirely fraudulent. Anecdotes provide context which doctors and science love to dismiss. I'll take a handful of anecdotes and appreciate all the context they provide, meanwhile the context-free "science" will go back and forth never getting anywhere nearer to better health outcomes.

> another fun fact, according to Twitter rumors GPT-5 is already training on 25,000 A100s w/8 GPUs each, so 4.8m GPU/hours per day.

If true that is incredible. From what I understand there isn’t a function that relates the increase of training time/effort to performance. For example, twice the training doesn’t mean twice the performance. It could mean no increase or 1000x increase, no one really knows. Does anyone have any idea what to expect in terms of capabilities when this training is finished?
Isn’t their pricing pretty unfriendly? I was looking at the Thelio, which starts at $1000 and then any upgrade costs about sticker price. (e.g. upgrading to the i5-13600K, which retails for $320, costs $315.)

It basically seemed to translate to a $1k markup for assembling the PC (and the case, I guess).
> Some people are so in touch with themselves they can tell they are getting sick before they have any measurable symptoms. Other people go months or years without knowing something is seriously wrong.

And many people derive imagined diagnoses from their anxieties, then come up with confident narratives based on "researching" online. Most of us are terrible at self-diagnosis, doubly at determining the causality to wherever they've arrived. There's a reason the double blind standard was a critical innovation.
I cannot believe it was actually a lighter; I blew up a fair number of lighters during my pyromaniac youth and never witnessed anything remotely like the explosion in this video. You get a pop and a flash - it's not especially dangerous. This looks like it had to have been a much larger mass of fuel inside a pressurized container.
APIs aren't a step forward, they're a step back. They're a terrible abstraction. Their interfaces are versioned and often not backwards compatible, data exchange is often poorly documented using no common conventions, the underlying HTTP interfaces vary greatly, there's no universal way to read the docs, and there is no single standard or convention for them.

Compare to Unix. Single way to run something, one simple return status, one basic input stream, two basic output streams, standard key=value pairs that can be inherited and passed on, generic arguments, there's usually a man page that fully explains how to use it, and they can be infinitely chained.

APIs require way too much "integration" and provide too little utility, and zero composeability. They're extra work with less usefulness. But, hey, "it's the web", and we're all too chickenshit to buck any trend that starts. We're slaves to whatever shitty paradigm takes over on "the web".

The web killed computer science innovation. We're just slowly and poorly rebuilding an operating system on top of a browser. But with more complexity and less utility.
I used to be a fan of Postman (in the early beginnings of the tool), but as it added features I didn't use and became slower and slower, I got tired of it.

Eventually, I figured I should try something true and tested, so I went for cURL. It takes a bit of practice and memory to learn how to do even the basics, but once it's there, it's a rock solid tool, with support for almost everything you could think of.

OK, fine. Do you have a working example of this? e.g. he's a contract, and please find me the unfavorable and / or non-standard terms. People have tried this before with no success, and it would be great if someone finally made some headway here. Even more points if the GPT things find onerous terms, but says, "hey don't worry about this non-compete bit, it's not enforceable."
Meh, I find it hard to differentiate this from just laziness. Im sure almost everyone has shit they dont want to do because they don't want to do it.

My thing is mostly that there is SO MUCH i want to do. I need to read this book, I need to practice this guitar, I need to respond to this email, I need to schedule an appointment.

Its not a matter of singular things that cause me issues, I just want to do so many things that I just kinda shut off.
> Can't say is a so-called white lie....

White lies are still lies.

>... its why the more diplomatic cannot confirm or deny is preferred.

This is an appealing story, but neither of us has a way of knowing the comprehensive truth of why our various public officials lie, in fact. A substantial amount of propaganda has been written that seems to have rendered us unable to realize this, but it is objectively true, for what should be obvious reasons.

> OP refers to lying as saying A while its nowhere near the truth. For example, all that RU propaganda is an entire different league.

A substantial proportion of our communication is also in the forms of misinformative memes and catchphrases like "an entire different league". This can (or is almost guaranteed to) cause 3rd party readers to form incorrect beliefs about the relative quality and magnitude of American vs Russian propaganda. The fact of the matter is: not any one single person on the planet possesses this knowledge. So what do we do instead: we literally make things up. It is like we exist within a stage play, created by and starring us, where we write the script as we go along, but pretend that we are doing something else.

> UA have a nice way of summarizing: its complicated. Also a white lie.

It isn't complicated? What is "it" in this case?

>Both are show stoppers, they don't encourage further dialog.

Which I believe is the point of a lot of the popular memes that can now be seen in the wild: stop people from thinking, and cause them to form a confident, incorrect belief prematurely - basically, make the public hallucinate a virtual reality that has been designed for them.

The degree to which this "conspiracy theory" (gasp!) is true vs all of this being simple emergence, I can only speculate. But regardless, the problem is there, it can be understood, and it is physically possible to improve upon it, just as the enlightenment, the scientific method, etc demonstrated that it is possible for humanity to gain substantial control over the physical realm, if one can manage to find a way to try.

Pardon the vitriol, but this never-ending and never talked about situation really bugs me.
> and are actively hiring!

Wow just two weeks after laying off 15% of your staff!? [0] Those bodies are still warm.

Having worked for a similar company eager to hire after layoffs I wouldn't be surprised if you're hiring for roles of many people you just let go, people who haven't even gotten over the shock of layoffs to start applying for new positions yet.

Kind of undermines your leadership's claims of:

> "This is the first time in Course Hero’s 17 years that we have done a layoff of this size, and it’s not a decision we made lightly ... It follows careful deliberation with the leadership team about the moment we’re in."

I get that sometimes layoffs are a hard choice, but I think it's important for the HN community to realize what kind of company you are representing. I've got skills you could use, and am interested in a new role, but find this type of hiring practice repulsive and certainly would hope that there are consequences for so quickly reneging on such "deliberation".

This was such an exciting age, where cameras were hopefully embracing a General Purpose Computing vibe, excited to become powerful flexible API platforms open to all kinds of use.

Modern cameras have some APIs but they are very limited. Sony for example eventually built a neat Android compatibility shim that devices like the A7 ii (2014) could use to run Android apps on the camera's base OS. Latter they evolved a "Remote Camera API" with good wireless control, but which seemingly offers no on-camera programmability: a sharp turn. In early 2020, they announced a new updated Remote Camera API, which doesn't even support wireless connectivity to the camera. https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/sdk/en/index.html

There's such a story of the aughts that is untold, of how opening the floodgates to creativity & possibility was the believed path. Your platform won by enabling more developers than any other platform. Today, we're in such a darker sadder world, where platforms are all entrapment & enshittification, enshittification all the way down, where possibilities close & doors slam shut. The NX cameras were a brilliant hopeful exciting camera, but everyone wanted hockeystick growth & massive success, and I think we radically underrated how long it really took ecosystems to develop. NX disappeared almost as fast it came. But what a promising promising device series, especially the latter appearing Linux/Tizen devices. With NX300, it was Linux to the core, great extensibility (if not well exposed).
Lots of questions about whether the container tie-downs can withstand that type of load, and apparently they can, but I'm curious what you'll do about the fact that you're relying on 3rd party containers underneath you being in spec. Do you have a mitigation plan for damaged container connections below you in the stack? This seems like a variable that could be outside your control.
I find it convenient mainly because I have kids. You can do quite a lot of heavy lifting in those first few quiet hours before they wake up.

Whether you can or should do it depends heavily on your particular circumstances, of course. But when I started doing it, I wondered why more people weren’t talking about it. Personally, I find it fantastic.
My feeling is that would need to get rid of the Jones Act. The protection of shipbuilding and shipping industry have captured both of them and turned them into shadows. Without protection, they would have to compete. They might be destroyed or might survive, but better than limbo.

For example, there is market for shipping containers along the West Coast. Most of the inter-US shipping goes by rail but sea would make sense for some of it. Small container ships would be perfect and locally built would make sense.
From this, most people conclude that financial managers cannot outperform the market. Which is obviously false since there are a bunch of managers that have consistently beat the market for many decades.

The actual conclusion is that most financial managers are fakes, and laypersons cannot tell the legit from the fakes.

True. It is a little vague. I will update what I mean a bit my link. Preferably I would like to talk to potential cofounders first.

Not/non tech doesn't mean devoid of technical knowledge. With other people I have already built something using one of technical methods that might be used in new app. None of the technology is 100% unique and has been used in other apps. But the creators of those other apps focused on the tech instead of using it to create a useful experience that isn't already available.
Anecdotally, from experience in fencing, no. My coach was like one of the US Olympic coaches, and he told us shouting or making noise doesn't help at all (in that way)

(He also told us to not shout after the action stopped, as is common in a lot of fencing, but that didn't always work out so well)

Screaming does help with:

* Raw power (which is largely not a factor for fencing or aikido). Weight lifting, tennis, javelin throwing, etc. Shouting during the action gets really common.

* Coordinating with other people (not a thing for one on one, but team fights, yea. E.g. if you've ever watched player comms for high level eSports, it can get really spammy when coordinating attacks on a specific target)

* Mental intimidation. Either of the other competitor, or, as it looks like in fencing, the ref lol
cholesterol values are read as corrolated to deseases we want to prevent, but not as a issue themselves.

https://www.cdc.gov/cholesterol/index.htm

> Too much cholesterol puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death in the United States.

For instance if you have high cholesterol but clinically no artery or cardiac issues, lowering your cholesterol will essentially do nothing for you. Some doctors will follow the manuals and still have you lower your levels "just in case" (they'll want to lower a potential risk), but we're the entering the fuzzy part that has no consensus.

PS: what values are high is also actively debated, and ethnicity and other factors will affect what is "normal". That's another aspect where it's a lot more touchy/feely than a "your arteries are clogged" diagnostic.
i agree. LLMs are not built for structured reasoning or even citations.
