AcademigGPT: A Suite of Free AI-Powered Tools for Academic Writing
Hey! I've been working on a project called AcademigGPT, a suit of AI-powered tools to help academics and researchers with their writing. Just upload your unfinished research paper and the AI can generate sections like abstracts or conclusions for you. No account required.

You can further improve the results with chat.

I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a try and let me know what you think! Feedback is much much appreciated.
TV ads (almost) never interrupted the flow of the show you were watching, because the show was specifically designed around the ad breaks. Radio ads always came between songs.

YouTube is now just sticking ads in any old where in videos. The middle of a song. The middle of a sentence. It's revolting, and in many cases it ruins the content you're actually trying to watch.
Kiss your free returns goodbye
I think a smart TV home screen showing you things you might consider watching on services you probably already subscribe to is in bounds. A bit like calling menu items at a restaurant advertising.
You can start by utilizing the "noprocrast" (no procastination) flags and timeout delays (maxvisit and minaway) in your HN user profile settings and build a routine around that ;)

I love the therm "hallucination", marketing geniuses at their best. Calling algorithmic junk which is a clear error by this "term" creates a positive image and enables more incorrectness from a technology which must serve humans.

So buckle up, the world of marketing and speculation will come to the ground with a big economic bang. Like it or not.
If you mean "subsidized" because the airlines don't have to pay the kind of taxes on jet fuel that users of road (or rail) vehicles have to pay on gas, or that they only have to pay airport taxes, but can use the airways free of charge, then yes. But no-frills airlines like Ryanair are not in the charity business, so you can bet that their price calculation is economically sound on the whole.
> unminified refers to a program doing that

I personally also use 'unminified' to refer to a horrible person that doesn't care about anyone else maintaining their code doing the same thing, like they're
manually minifying their code to obscure it from their colleagues and future selves.

I wanted to make that definition more popular as there is no reason to write unsearchable code that requires someone else to maintain a mental map of meaningless names to their actual meanings while reading code.

A lot of people (you're one, nothing personal, but I explained this already in a parent comment) don't realize I'm deliberately calling attention to bad behavior and just think I'm confused though. I'll swap to ungolfed.
I remember MUCH, much better things that I once had written, not just read.
Ask HN: Trademark Now or Later?
All I could find was the same question on Ask HN from 2009 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=494831). Have times changed? When do you trademark: when starting out or once you start having customers?

And how well does it do them? Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the time being all you know about its ability to replace that other MS tool is a "yes, yes it can" by a MS dev? Don't you want to withhold judgement until after you've spent some time actually using ChatGPT to do OCR?
It will rob people going through the motions and cheating from actually learning. The people who most benefit from education have never been the people just going through the motions and have at least some intrinsic motivation to actually learn.
Since it's evolving to keep up with the best (at least newest) practices but most of that complexity is shoved into SvelteKit the fullstack framework. But Svelte itself, which is only just a transpiler targeting html+js+css offers guarantees that simple things will remain simple. Then it's up to you to buy in the complexity in order to solve complex problems.
I am struggling to build a web app right with Svelte (and using SvelteKit with no SSR - SPA mode, I just want to benefit from the builtin client side routing) but the reason I am struggling is not because of svelte is because there are so many things and corner case to learn/know about :
js, ts, docker, bundlers/minifier/build system, deployment, servers, http, cors, UI toolkits, css, tailwind, backend, databases, data modeling/validation/orms, Oauth and probably even more. It' overwhelming.
Yes, that makes sense. But then you still have the same issue with the rest of the text on the site (and it's a text heavy site).

There are ways of handling state - which have been in use for decades! and in applications with a lot of UI state with dozens of forms (screens) etc. How many of them had these convoluted ideas of state vs stateless widgets, watch, notifiers etc? Consider examples like Visual Basic, Delphi etc..

The GUI components would be aware when their state changed and would update its own display. But now you can't do that anymore - either you redraw the whole screen or not at all.

You could receive/send data asynchronously if needed in a separate thread and update the main thread which managed the GUI etc. None of this required jumping through hoops like we are doing now.

Example: This is how data could be fetched asynchronously and the UI updated on termination of the call in Delphi:

procedure TMainForm.ButtonClick(Sender: TObject);

begin

RESTRequest.ExecuteAsync(

procedure

begin

Memo.Lines.Add(RESTResponse.Content);

end,

True, True,

procedure(Error: TObject)

begin

Memo.Lines.Add(Exception(Error).Message);

end;

end;

Note: even with all of the Pascal ceremony of begin/end etc, this code is more succinct and far cleaner and much easier to debug than the state/stateless nonsense that is spread out all over a Flutter codebase.

And yes, I do remember that Visual C++ had a bit of a convoluted state management logic for MFC.

Why not? It is not obvious to me why a seamless transition is impossible?

Isn't the whole point of TCP that individual packets can take different paths over different networks and when they reach the destination they can be sequenced? Why should changing the network disrupt the individual packets from traveling independently?

It is so sad to see many people defending laws against fake speech. Do you all really want a "Ministry of Truth". Do you want the Government to decide what is true unilaterally, and block everything else as "illicit misinformation". How is this different from the USSR? By this logic the Stasi was just punishing people who spread "disinformation".

How do you contest an election in such an environment, if criticising government policy means "spreading disinformation". Telegram opposed a bill and they were forced to share the below message to their users:

"By determination of the STF, the company Telegram communicates: The previous message from Telegram characterized FLAGRANT and ILLEGAL DISINFORMATION offensive to the National Congress, the Judiciary, the Rule of Law and the Brazilian Democracy, because it fraudulently distorted the discussion and debates on the regulation of social network providers and private messaging services (Bill 2630), in an attempt to induce and instigate users to coerce parliamentarians"

Statamic, Kirby, Craft are all commercial products and not free licensed (as in freedom). Twill is only one that's Apache License 2.0. I agree this is both blessing and curse and for products like this is much safer to get the commercial product that has safer future. But for example if you wanted to start small CRUD SAAS based around CMS it would be feasible to do only with Twill.

I don't think it's a good idea to have your product and your presentation website in one app so for me it's not a feature. They should really be separate concerns.

I haven't used Statamic 4 yet but last time i've used it they didn't seem to use much from the Laravel. It basically publishes routes to Laravel from their own system and that's it. It even recommended it's own templating language Antlers. It just feels they want to really ride the Laravel wagon while still being just separate system. Thats OK but Twill for example really depends on Laravel and feels more deeply integrated with it.

Craft is good simply because it leverages database powers well and it's super mature. Things like relations and search are a lot harder in flat-file systems. Twill does this OK. Flat-file systems generally have ways to use database but it's more work. I would pick Craft for sites where having DB is more advantageous than flat-file.

Kirby is kinda it's own thing. It's oldest and mature, simple, steady but modern. It tries to have as little abstraction as possible. Opposite philosophy to all Laravel magic. It's kinda edgy and zen because of that. The advantage of less code and dependencies - it's super fast and easy to read source code. Not that it would matter in a CMS.
Kirby embraces flat-file as kind of nosql database. For example every page has unique identifier that is indexed an can be referenced anywhere. I don't know about CMS that does that out of the box. And Kirby admin interface is also pretty different because it has no preset ways. When you install it it's empty - you have to completely define it. This can be huge advantage or more work for developer depending on what you do. It's more like build your own CMS package than CMS.

Statamic has inspired lots of their features/implementation on Kirby and for years played catch up. Nowdays they are all very feature rich so it's more matter of taste (and price). Statamic has one really nice advantage and that's GUI blueprint builder. If you hate writing YAML to define admin area (which both Kirby and Statamic need) with Statamic you don't have to.

Sure I know the back story of the Brandon joke, I just don't see how that's any different from the tiny hands back story. Both started out from one otherwise unimportant interaction that happened to become popular and taken out of context.

I don't disagree that the tiny hands joke is old at this point, but really what is the difference when they both have some origin story and become a political meme aimed at a particular politician?

Doesn't matter. Legislative business. Most people would get a question from a Representative or Senator and Make Time because one of the best ways to ensure your life is made miserable in the future is to give Congress a reason to scrutinize you.

It is the Federal Congress. Ya know, those people who regulate Interstate Commerce? The ones who can make and unmake entire Executive Agencies give the political wherewithal?

Frankly, seeing Congress start getting off it's laurels and starting to do it's job is kinda refreshing.

your comment is still a gross misrepresentation of the economist 'voice'.
I've been a semi-regular reader for at least 20 years, for instance, and have never seen or heard reference to Bjorn Lomborg.

For example, I just logged in and searched for him - there are 5 articles he appears in since 2001.

I struggle to find any sort of COVID skepticism or 'behind the science' viewpoint with their reporting, frankly I don't think this is true unless you can point to an example of it, and as a Doctor I am acutely sensitive to bad reporting on this.

I don't particularly understand the economist hate that periodically appears here, except to acknowledge that there are different viewpoints, and unless you're radically one way or the other as it pertains to the US culture war which threatens every day to engulf normal discourse everywhere - a society in a phase change either to something greater or to a race to the bottom.
That's not necessary; listening on the wildcard IPv6 address without the "IPv6 only" flag enabled on the socket is enough. A IPv4 connection arriving at it is mapped to a special IPv6 address, so the code doesn't have to care about IPv4.

Unless you were using Windows, where IIRC the IPv4 and IPv6 stacks were separate, and a single socket couldn't be used to listen to both at the same time. (This might already have been fixed in more recent Windows releases.)
Seems to me like it's the listening bots that are the problem, rather than the AI-generated music? And presumably, fraudulent listening bots were a problem well before now. I suppose there's a case for removal if the only listeners were bots...

I agree “it doesn’t have threads” is a bullshit reason. Especially since it took JS's threadlessness to make evented (aka async, aka promise-based, aka callback-based, aka eventloop-based) mainstream, and for good reasons! It allows many to maximize the compute resources better than possible with the threaded approach.

There are good reasons to avoid/switch-away-from PHP... Like weak compile time quality guarantees, messy std lib, low quality of available libraries, many security issues; all WHILE great alternatives exist for free! (e.g. Kotlin, Rust, C#, Java)

It's true. People can memorize 100'000s of words of text and this ability was common place among learned people. The pali canon is an example. I found myself remembering huge amounts, having just read a text, with no intentional effort to recall after a month in a forest monastery and in the 4 months I was there but afterwards when exposed to the internet and sensory stuff again found my ability to recall texts had gone.

"What is the cause of people forgetting texts they had learned before?" I can't remember the precise answer but that was one such line in the texts.

An optimal filesystem... for what?

There is no single filesystem which is optimized for everything, so you need to specify things like

cross-platform transportability, network transparency, hardware interfaces, hardware capability, reliability requirements, cost-effectiveness, required features, expected workload, licensing

and what the track record is in the real world.
The area would be an even bigger number. Wonder if marketers determined the concept of area was too complicated compared to the concept of a linear diagonal measurement.

Or a 2 digit number is easier to remember and digest than 3 or 4 digits, and 1 digit is too small, such as measuring in squared feet or meters.
I don't know if I'd say its universally lip service. Perhaps that's true in some areas of tech, but in my corner of the world building an ISP, practically all of network hardware OEMs I'm exposed to (mostly cisco, but also some juniper, arista, and zyxel) use the OSI model predominantly in their product descriptions and documentation.

I am curious if wood-burning technology would be a suitable solution for rural settings where lower population density means particulates and smog are a lesser concern. Pellet stoves for heating, wood-gas for long-ranged vehicles. But while trees are a renewable fuel, they still mean converting carbon from a sequestered place (a tree) into being released into the air.

I'm only halfway through this collection of essays. I wasn't aware of the continuity of the "networking" history from telegraph to telephone to internetworking.

I wonder if this would have happened without the intervention of federal regulators. Maybe federal regulation helped the process, maybe it impeded it.

Also, the articles make a lot of the role of individual technicians, advocates and entrepreneurs. I wonder whether the process would have developed in much the same way if those individuals hadn't existed. I.e., was the process driven by historical forces, or by "great men"?
Cloning can also mean simple duplication. I think calling it a RW snapshot is clearer because a snapshot generally doesn't mean simple duplication.
