Show HN: Jarvis AI – Text, iMessage, and Email ChatGPT
We're back with another ShowHN!

When we launched, you could text Jarvis AI using regular SMS messages from your phone.

Since launching 3 weeks ago[1], we've introduced two new channels for using ChatGPT.

Now you can use ChatGPT over SMS text message, iMessage for Apple-enabled devices, and via Email.

It is super interesting to forward an email to Jarvis AI and see its thoughts on your email thread. It can help you brainstorm or it can suggest a reply to previous emails.

10 messages free forever, more volume is free over iMessage and Email for a limited time (until the HN hug of death!). You don't have to sign up or anything to try it. Just send a text to: +1 (855) 676-1two89.

Thanks for checking this out. Many exciting features are coming soon to make this more than just a different interface to ChatGPT. We want to make AI accessible to more people, over more channels, with more useful things for your day-to-day.

For medical professionals, we added the /diagnose command. Ask Jarvis "/diagnose 32 year old harsh cough" for example.

Soon, we are adding features like /invoice for generating invoices and /remember for notes and reminders.

My parents are in their 70s and have run Linux for the last 15 years. Supported by me, of course.

They don't know the difference.
One of the factors other replies haven't considered is that Norway routinely spends a lot on transport infrastructure, with cost-benefit just one of the factors. This project was relatively cheap compared to the constant building of tunnels for cars that happens across the country. A typical project costs many times more than this.

Per capita Norway is one of the highest spenders in the world, due to the size and low population density of the country. Even with all this spending, transport in some places, especially the north, is slow & inefficient. This has resulted in a high number of airports and Norwegians flying more than almost every other nationality.
That honestly sounds more enlightened by 1830s standards then almost anyone today by 2020s standards.
This explains things!

I switched from Apple Music to Spotify and have yet to figure out how to get it to play a playlist. So it’s either “tap on the screen while hurtling down the highway” or “awkwardly tell it to play each individual song after each one completes”.
> We are remarkably contradictory when expressing ourselves, generally speaking, often without realizing it because we'll change our thinking in the moment to fit the current narrative or circumstance. LLMs just put that on blast.

Exactly.

It seems to me that today's LLMs are on the level of human children. Children often say random bullshit. They try to figure out things, and succeed to some level, but fail spectacularly above that, regressing to whatever connection they can sense. It's only that human children most often learn to fear mistakes, so they stop expressing themselves so freely.

LLMs seem like human children, but without the fearing mistakes part - they just spew whatever comes to their mind, without filter (except those """ethical""" filters built in by OpenAI).
Sure thing, I'll add that tonight.

I was using factorio-init to start the process. That script makes it easy to send commands to the in-game console.

Same with the Mediterranean. I was puttering around Cinque Terre in a small motorboat at sunset some years back, and Homer’s epithet immediately came to mind.

There, the deep, dark sea contrasts even more starkly with the bright, crystal-clear waters along the shore. I suspect this was the distinction Homer was after, rather than trying to describe the specific hue for an audience that was likely closely familiar with the appearance of the sea to begin with.

And yet again I forgot it’s not the Chinese TLD.

By the way I have a quick expansion for most TLDs and for the Swiss .ch “cheese” sounds rather more apt and easier than the real one in my head :)
That matches with my experience too.

One particular problem with city motorists is mobile phone use, especially in traffic queues. People like to think that they can context switch between using their phone and paying attention to their vehicle surroundings, but I would disagree.

I'm sad about this, because I use Moonlight for the same purpose, and there doesn't seem to be any good reason for this? It's just removing a feature.

Economics depends on looking at large enough datasets that inconsistencies can be averaged it and glossed over. People generally following a pattern and precise consistency are very different
At the beginning of the chip shortage, Intel's CPU just weren't very good. AMD was beating them at performance and efficiency. Intel has caught up now, but their chips still use significantly more power than the current AMD chips.

Intel spent a lot of time and money developing their new Arc GPUs. They were delayed and they missed the crypto boom. Drivers and GPU performance were disappointing even after delaying the launch. This first generation of intel GPUs will be a huge loss for them.

Intel is less diversified today. They sold their LTE modem business to apple a few years ago. Intel exited the ARM chip business ~15 years ago, right before the smartphone took off.

Intel is now losing the server chip business. AMD is making competitive sever chips for a lower price. Larger companies are developing their own ARM-based server chips.

Intel is going to start using their foundries to manufacture chips for other customers. It remains to be seen if Intel can compete with TSMC.
I’ve been working on a crummier version. So crummy it will likely never make it to a v0.1… :)

Yeah, but human females can have more kids during that 15 year window, so that reduces the risk somewhat.

A software developer and football (soccer) fan who lives in an antipodean time zone, I enjoy watching games on demand the morning after they occur. Apart from watching the games of the team I support, I like to watch one or two of the most entertaining games in any given week, but score spoilers absolutely ruin the experience for me.

So, I created https://laterball.com: a web app the algorithmically determines the best games of the past 7 days without score spoilers, to let me (and you) know which games are worth spending time watching. There was also an associated twitter bot at https://twitter.com/laterball which occasionally tweets when there's been a high-quality game until the recent Twitter API changes.

Technical stuff: the back end is a Ktor server hosted on a linode instance which pulls statistics data from an API to determine the ratings. Factors used to determine ratings include goals (number, timing, swings in score, comebacks), xG, wins or draws against the odds, cards, and a few others.
Hahah yeah I said “Siri play classical music on Spotify” and siri said “I’m afraid I can’t do that” and then starting playing Sabaton (which is Power metal and the exact opposite of classical music).

Then Siri had the gall to claim NO MUSIC WAS PLAYING as this super loud music was assaulting our eardrums. My wife thought my exasperated struggles were the funniest thing, it felt like HAL-9000 with the “I’m sorry I can’t do that Dave” moment.
F*ck.

Im part of a subreddit right now that seems to be under siege by a heavy number of bots or human-bots. All I can tell is they post everyday on the same topic (politics) then they themselves cross post and post under their own thread with constant incendiary commentary. The big tell seems to be they post at least 75 comments a day and never appear to sleep. They only post about politics and only in this subreddit and always with the same bent.

How can I tell if these people are even real?

The screen will be terrible, the performance will be 1/3 of the M1 air, the battery life will be useless and the device itself will be heavy.

Bad deal overall. At that price I would prefer a Chromebook.
> Who would be leader of commonwealth?

Does it need one? For doing what exactly? And why is a hereditary position better for this than one elected by democratic means?

> Having a heredity apolitical monarch works really well in the context of a commonwealth of nation.

Why?

> , but I do think there is value in having an heredity head of state with very limited powers.

Such as? Because tons of countries in the world don't spend huge sums of money on such an institution, and don't seem to miss out on anything.
"Add two quinoa packs" is more cognitively loaded (particularly for non native eng speakers) than the act of tapping on + to increase by 1.

Similarly, for calendar you are missing the author's point - we are spatially trained - Ex. concept of memory palace [1]. Totally agree with author on "We know that our schedule is "full" because we see lots of space occupied by boxes."

You could definitely build a continuity checker with it, but that requires something on the far end to loop back the pins. The GPIO won't switch fast enough to act as a TDR though, that requires specific ASICs.
This is an illuminating point of view. Science is weak-link on its output, because of the downstream damage it can do. But article's claim still holds on the input side of science - sorting ideas for funding and perhaps publishing early results with a disclaimer. That's a strong-link problem, where you want to consider impact times reliability rather than just reliability alone.
That's raises the interesting question of whether everything that makes us human is learned behavior.

If it all really is nurture rather than nature we're much more fragile than people may realize and only ever one generation away from going ferral

This is really impressive. Very nice work
To be fair, C++ was never their primary focus. Everything from Borland was Pascal-oriented, even C++ Builder's GUI and components were Delphi-based. Quality of Builder vs. Delphi was worse, compiler performance too. Visual Studio 6 started beating Builder in every aspect except ease of GUI design.
One of the British national pastimes is to complain about the state of the railways and then to complain about infrastructure investments in the railways (whic, granted, often turn into an omnishamble).

My take-away from HS2 is that the UK is not able to build a relatively short high-speed railway. HS2 (so just London to Birmingham) is 134 miles/215 km long, that's nothing and yet...

I think the cause and effect was switched. 12V was used because of 12.6V is two batteries, LDO's are used nowadays because 6V, 12V was standard.
There's a Vue.js course on Udemy that a colleage suggested to me. The price when I'm not logged in to Udemy is ~$20. When I login it jumps up to close to $200. This was 2 to 4 weeks ago.

I asked them about this on Twitter but got no reply. I went back to the Udemy site and struggled to find a contact form or similar.

Shady. Very shady.

I frequent Slickdeals.net as well, and have seen similar complaints about other e-comm sites. Shockingly, Amazon has been mentioned.
Why bother when we can enjoy an OpenVMS descendent instead.
if you aren't smart enough to understand it doesn't mean it is "over-engineered over-abstracted"
The skepticism is strange to me because Siri is extremely well positioned. All Apple has to do is add a GPT-like backend, put Siri in everyone's iMessage, and boom ChatGPT is dead in the water.
Good attempt and a great idea, but I wasn't really offended. I even tried to help it with giving something about myself, but it felt more like I was having drinks with a friend and bantering.

An AI that would actually be capable of giving me actual shit that goes under my skin for the things I deserve shit for would be awesome.
This doesn’t make sense to me. If one clause says another clause can be removed, then doesn’t that create a contradiction where legally it’s unclear which of the two clauses “wins” the fight - the one adding additional restrictions or the one removing that clause?
Everything is always 90% off lol
A quote straight from my personal website:

> You shouldn’t get too hung up on the stack or tools. Choose something that’s handy, that lets you do your work, and get started. Getting started is crucial.

The answer to your question is a classic "it depends". I maintain my personal site to learn about web development and keep stuff documented that I might come back to. Your motivations, and accordingly the answer to this question, may vary.
Any alternative is kind of an FU to customers IMO, but I get it.

CCTVs for a long bridge/tunnel might be enough. As it would take quite a while to leave they do not seem like an ideal mugging place?
I understand companies want to make money but there’s got to be a way to make cloud services so cheap to operate that free tiers are possible. I’m thinking about how cheap IRC is to run, that companies don’t care.

Theoretically, there should be ways to design software that the marginal cost to support a user is incredibly small. The issue is that there’s no money in that so open source groups who pivot to companies move away from this model to make money. And of course, I’m not willing to do it. So I just sort of lament and am great full that gnu coreutils isn’t trying to sell me some 4 hour workweek inspired $8/month plan via a stupid blog post describing the millions in value created from running ls and cd.
I needed to build a Wordpress site for user docs for a company last year. Couldn’t find a good solution :(

I created a React based version of Wordpress for developers.

I turned it into an open source framework so that other people can use my work and build on top of it. It comes baked with Next.js, Tailwind, and a bunch more.

It’s currently a work in progress, but I’ve been receiving great feedback from the dev community.

If you need something fancy for an occasion and you know you are never gonna use it again then order it on Amazon, preserve the tags, after you done using it, re-attach the tags and return it at Khols within 30 days. No questions asked!
I think part of this might be Spotify’s fault. I moved from Apple Music to Spotify Premium and my biggest complaint (aside from literally one SPECIFIC song I really love not being on Spotify at all) is that there is no HomePod support (you have to airplay the music to the HomePod) and Siri support is shoddy.

If you can't afford $900 you shouldn't be buying a laptop unless you absolutely need it in short term to get out of your current situation. You are probably in a precarious state, not really a chooser at this time and all you can do is to sort by price and buy the cheapest.
Illegal in India maybe. In the US: "In the United States, Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission rules specifies that no license is needed if range of the transmitter does not exceed 200 feet (61 meters), although the Part 15 rules specify that the field strength should not exceed 250 µV/m (48db) at 3 meters"

I haven't found the exact law in India, but looks like maybe it's legal for personal usage of FM provided power of transmitter is under 500 mW?
One of my early professional 'whoops' was with Delphi. We delivered a client (server) application that was sent out on like 20 floppy disks. I misspelled Pharmaceutical, which was part of the company name, on the splash screen. We had a lot of 'junk' floppies floating around the office after that.

The way the web changed customer facing software was amazing at the time.

This is cool. I've seen a bunch of farms with solar panels on their barn roofs (which makes sense, they can be a pretty large area) but never over crops.

Solar panels over car parks are pretty great as well.

Cuboid: An application-centric, decentralised and distributed computing project
I've created a project that's been published for a while now and now starting to think about making it known to folks.
As the title reads, its name is Cuboid and is part of the Qadron org -- Ecsypno's < http://ecsypno.com > F/OSS branch.

In essence, the Cuboid Framework offers the possibility of easily creating decentralized and distributed applications in Ruby.
In hipper terms, you can very easily setup your own specialized Cloud or Cloud within a Cloud.

It's like a Ruby-on-Rails deal but for distributed and multi-faceted computing.
Its features have up until now been designed to cover my company's products' needs but I'd love to get everyone's take on it and build a community around it to drive it further.

The project goal is to make distributed computing fun and easy, it should feel like a usable toy.

Cheers!
You should look into https://small-tech.org/. I don't know if they're still active (I discovered them a few months ago, and they seemed active.) But they definitely have a similar point of view.
Personal experience suggests otherwise. It has been years I have used Flipkart or any other website to order online (or watched anybody I know do so). It is always Amazon. And online purchases are way up, even compared to a year ago.

Almost everybody with a TV I know has a Fire TV stick. Most of my friends have at least one Echo device. A couple have even gone all in and put an Echo in every room.

Prime video is extremely popular, they produce a lot of Indian content and license a lot of regional stuff too. They even telecast a live cricket series recently.

They've even raised prices for Prime subscription, which indicates that they're confident people will pay more for what they're offering. Hardly the signs of "scaling back".

Personally, I feel the article is not well informed. For example it makes the assertion that Amazon is lagging Flipkart. It is absolutely not. Flipkart is a joke. Flipkart sells a lot of exclusive mobile phones on razor thin margins (maybe even net loss), and since phones are relatively high value items the GMV turns out to be higher than Amazon's. Amazon doesn't offer deep discounts on phones, which is fine IMO. GMV is not everything.

Similarly, TFA references Amazon’s "shutdown of multiple services".

1. Amazon Distribution - this was a very small scale operation, maybe the pilot just didn't work out. This was operating in 3 districts in the country (we have 766 districts).

2. Food delivery - this is a tough nut to crack in India, and Amazon was incredibly late to the game. Even established players (Zomato, Swiggy) are always struggling. People simply aren't ready to pay a substantial portion of the bill for delivery in India. This may well turn out to be a wise decision in the long-term. There might be a long struggle and no big profits in this game.

3. Online learning platform - I have no idea why Amazon thought this was an appropriate market for them. They were very late in this too. The competition is cut-throat, and it is a really unique market. I don't think they would have been able to make a space for themselves here.

On the other hand, Amazon launched its second AWS region in India and pledged to invest $4.4 billion in its cloud operations in the country by 2030. Hardly a "scaling back".[1]

Secretlab appear to get up to this sort of funny business (certainly with their UK pricing). Since October 2022 I've been toying with the idea of buying one of their plain old weave chairs because I'm a big lad and they do XL chairs with sturdier seat pistons.

However I've noticed that ever since I started tracking their prices prior to October last year they've never not been on sale. I'm fairly certain this is in breach of the UK "Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008" and the rules surrounding:

"The law, as contained in the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, simply says that if a product is on sale or special offer, the retailer must show the original price and it must have been selling at that price for 'a meaningful period of time'."[0]

and:

"Simply offering a product for sale at a stated price is not necessarily enough to use it as a point of comparison. The ASA has upheld complaints about marketers who have claimed to have offered products for sale but were unable to demonstrate that anyone purchased them at that price.

In 2013 the ASA upheld a complaint about a promotion that offered a new toothbrush worth £169.99 in exchange for a customer’s old one. The advertiser stated that this price claim was based on the RRP. However the product was sold at only one retailer, and their price data showed that the brush had only been sold at the RRP of £169.99 for 12 weeks, and that in the other 32 weeks it had been sold for £84.99 or less. This demonstrated that the product was not generally sold at its RRP price and the ASA therefore concluded the claim "worth £169.99" was misleading (Colgate-Palmolive (UK) Ltd, 30 October 2013)."[1]
