Show HN: I built Game Deal Genie – A ChatGPT plugin in JavaScript to find sales
Plugin documentation was in Python, so I built a JavaScript version and open-sourced it for those interested.

Prompt examples you can ask Game Deal Genie

"What are the current PC game deals?"

"Can you show me the deals for games on Steam?"

"What are the deals for games with a Metacritic rating above 80?"

"Can you find deals for games that are currently on sale?"

"Show me the deals for games with a price less than $20."

"What are the deals for AAA games?"

"Show me the deals for games with a Steam review rating above 90."

"What are the deals for the game with the Steam App ID 730?"

"Can you find deals for games with the title 'Cyberpunk'?"

"What are the current deals sorted by 'Deal Rating'?"
Yeah, you can implement them like you could in anything - it varies per language but the lack of true higher order functions (anything except K) and lazy evaluation (all) means that there's not really an 'elegant' way for anything more than 1 term deep.

That's not to say that the 'combinators' in array languages are bad, they're very useful and a nice form of function composition that I wish most other languages had, but they're not really a true combinator in the lambda calculus sense. You can't pass the array language 'combinators' to other combinators.

I'd argue that regardless of WFH versus office, managers can't force folks to work. It's just that in the office they can pretend that they're forcing them to work, even when X employee is simply sitting in a chair.

It basically ends up just punishing the employees who do work, and the slackers still slack.

COVID is probably just a short term anomaly and not a major cause of death going forward. COVID was probably also a cause of death that decreased some of the other death causes.
This is nice. But fine-tuning a small model to match a big model and then using the large model to compare the results is troublesome. The same underlying data going round and round ought to result in something like overfitting. Does that happen?

It's also not clear such models are even possible.

Every time I see "alignment" and that whole jazz coming up, I can't but wonder if that discussion isn't getting much more attention than needed. Especially since there are very real, very proven, very immediate problems that AI technology poses, that actually need solving right now.

But of course, discussing things like the economic fallout of job displacements doesn't have the same scifi-cool vibe to it than worrying about the Matrix coming to turn humanity into paperclips ;-)
LXD is a faster tool that offers various configurations, such as allowing an app to run as root even when you're not, and mounting host directories inside containers like Docker/Podman. LXD is also unprivileged by default and uses the same Linux kernel features as other tools. We have different tools available for end users, and I prefer running Docker inside LXD for development purposes because it keeps my $HOME clean. Additionally, tasks like Nvidia GPU (such as ffmpeg, or AI) can also be run inside LXD, providing extra security on my dev box while keeping $HOME clean where you may need to use the `curl ... | sudo bash` syntax when downloading random stuff from the Internet.
We share advices on many fields all the time. Legal advices are no exception.

Especially when it's this simple, "water is wet", "prefer postgresql over mongodb", "no you can't legally copy content without being authorised by the authors, even if translated".
QBASIC was good to start but you couldn't grow with it. And then the step going to another language is still high. You had lot of fun learning QBASIC, then you hit a wall. Imagine if QBASIC had a CONS datatype. The beginner programmers would have been able to gently learn about a lot of data structures, while QBASIC would have still been QBASIC, only much more powerful.

With 2,356 MW of installed capacity as of year-end 2022, this puts Indonesia in second place in the world after the United States in utilizing geothermal power,

By 2025, Indonesia aims to produce more than 9,000 MW of geothermal power, becoming the world's leading geothermal energy producer. This would account for 5% of Indonesia's total energy needs.

That cannot explain why Americans are more obese than say Europeans as Europeans also have quit smoking in a similar amount as in the US.
I guess it's similar to what you mentioned with bark, the more training and custom adaptation that can be done, the less metallic it will sound. I tested with random voices until i got one that was similar, the existing Bella voice is almost as your sample but has very little metallic s-s.
No you can't, specially in game consoles or embedded deployments, that although migh have x86 CPUs, the motherboard design is incompatible with a standard PC expectations.
I guess I agree with the premise, but not the deciders.

As far as I'm concerned, probably 80 to 90% of advertising is for things that make the world worse.

I don't know if it was futuristic, but Hong Kong and Tokyo in the 90s definitely fueled a lot of techno-optimism in other countries. Seeing all the cool new devices (VCDs, CDs, game systems, early mobile phones and email, recording devices, bullet trains, anime, etc.) come out and be adopted made it feel like really cool things were to come and bring exciting societal changes. A lot of people have strong nostalgia with that imagined future, but after the 2010 decade of smart phones and startups I think things look less exciting.

Indeed. Gyms and community and sports centres etc have also been decimated by local authority cuts over the years.
Making them compulsory would be good, but replacing the "intro" courses with a paradigm-survey course would probably be too much for students to handle.

Students would also likely not be technically mature enough to be able to appreciate these early in their journey. I certainly didnt when I worked through SICP in my late freshman/early sophomore year, eventually I ended up forgetting everything about it.

I like the PLAI lectures as the prof (Shriram) was able to relate the concepts to those in the industry and various languages like haskell, as well as made it practical by discussing program design -- perhaps HtDP was also a prerequisite?
I’ve got an old iPod laying around and was thinking about doing the same - just don’t know how feasible it’d be. Love it when people repurpose old hardware.
Noone uses youtube because "it's better"(in what way even?). Everyone uses youtube because it's pretty much the only place for pre-filmed video content these days. If all content creators I watch moved to other sites, I would watch them there. I don't 'watch youtube', I watch people/channels that I follow. They've built a monopoly and now they're abusing it. I would gladly pay some low yearly subscription for Youtube without ads, but their current price is borderline insane, especially since most people won't use most of the features offered, all we want is an ad-free experience, I couldn't care less for Youtube Music. Until then, I will continue watching it via 3rd party sideloaded apps on my TV and with uBlock in web browser. Stop white-knighting corporations worth billions of dollars, they don't care for you as much as you care for them.

And I just got a good result off of gpt 3.5 and 4.

3.5 turbo:

The code snippet seems to be correct and there are no obvious bugs. It initializes an array of queue positions, and then creates pairs of adjacent positions using a for loop and slice method. The resulting pairs are pushed into a 2D array. However, it is worth noting that the last pair may only contain one element if the length of the array is odd.

4:

The given TypeScript code snippet seems to be correct and has no syntax errors. It initializes an array queuePositions with three elements (1, 2, and 3) and an empty array pairs. The for loop iterates through queuePositions with a step of 2, slices the array from the current index to the next index, and pushes the sliced subarray into the pairs array. After running the code, the pairs array will be [[1, 2], [3]].

However, it's important to note that the last element of queuePositions will be in an array by itself in pairs array since the loop has a step of 2. If this is the intended behavior, then the code is correct. If you want all elements in pairs to have the same length, you may need to handle the case where the length of queuePositions is odd.

Maybe the tool proposed by the OP just improves the probability of getting a good result. Which is quite good IMHO.

I feel this, as I get to make decisions on my own at home. In the office I need to discuss and explain all the options, only to have my manager make the same decision I would come to.
That was speculation. This happened today.

Discussion from a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35378683
What reality do you think I'm averting my eyes from?
I made more points than just an appeal to tradition. Let me reiterate:

You already get compensated by having both a higher paid job and living in a bigger property in a cheaper yet desirable neighbourhood. And more to the point, your employer didn’t choose where you live, you chose that yourself.

If you were commuting to different site(s) than the one listed as your “base” location then it would be a different story. But most businesses already compensate you for that. They just don’t pay for you travelling between home and your base location because that was the expectation you agreed to when you took the job.
There's nothing wrong with counterfactuals in general, but you have to do it correctly. Doing it wrong leads to a strawman and that has very little value indeed.
Wow fuck the bloggers who played along with this.

I get daily requests to put up free articles on my site and I tell these folks that I pre-screen all links, no matter what. Crypto and/or gambling? Always a hard no.
>I'm curious, how did you generate the David Attenborough voice? The repo says:

Check back later in the week, I'll have a bit more on that later after I catch up on actual work and can write a bit.
I'd agree with the notion suggested in the article it may not even be about getting mothers to gamble as much as it is an attempt at blackhat SEO. Recruiting a few new gamblers is small potatoes compared to redirecting a large amount of web traffic for gambling-related keywords on Google.

Several gambling firms are aggressively throwing money at the problem of trying to manipulate PageRank-like algorithms. I've seen examples of them sponsoring open source projects, ostensibly in order to purchase a link from a high ranking website.

Makes sense though when basically your entire budget goes to marketing.
We have low cost gyms in the UK circa £20 a month which seems like a fairly good deal to me. What does it cost where you are?

Also my local gym is very popular with the 50+ crowd. There seems to be a large social aspect to it for them. Don’t knock it!
Also, $100 million have gone into an "Endowment" that has never to this day, in nearly a decade of existence, published audited accounts. Report in Wikipedia's community newspaper:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2...

Promises have been made for years that the Endowment, held by the Tides Foundation, would "soon" be registered as a separate 501c3 nonprofit org and start filing public accounts ... still hasn't happened.
Good retrospective on the inflection point for this cohort of digital media in the generally excellent Odd Lots podcast recently (Search “End of an Era for Digital Media).

Their conclusion on Vice was that it was never in the same league as BuzzFeed or similar in terms of traffic, but had one of the most pure and influential brands in the space.
3 days in the office is fine for me. Though I work sometimes with hardware. Big corp I work for asked to be in the office 4 days and the managers asked in private to be whole week here and they might spare us from next wave of layoffs. Logical solution is job search. I feel very bad for my new subordinate. One year ago I promised him nice salary, good home office rules (he’s doing remote master degree) and rather boring tasks. Salary was reduced half year ago and now full back to the office. Poor guy…
> Aside from that, very weird name. Kind of annoying actually and sort of ruins the whole thing anyway.

Can you elaborate on this? This seems like a very extreme reaction.

The website shows

> vore (noun combining form)
> ˌvō(ə)r, ˌvȯ(ə)r, ˌvōə, ˌvȯ(ə)
> : one that eats (something specified)

which seems like something appropriate for an RSS reader if I connect enough nodes of ideas.

I wonder how Distrobox compares to nix shell.

If I understand correctly, Distrobox makes it convenient to launch (and destroy) lightweight VMs on demand, while nix shell makes it convenient to drop into a shell with some package installed. The documentation around nix has unfortunately been unapproachable in my experience.

Of course, Flatpaks+Podman will be a learning curve, but I'm eager to try Silverblue+Distrobox on one of my computers.
I think an earlier version of the essay focused much more on hosting.

It should be noted that when you run your own data center that means that money that would have gone to AWS as a "hosting cost" now gets spread around to other sections. Its cheaper overall but shows up in different sections.

There are things i disagree with about how wmf spends its money, but just saying it spends too much money without breaking it down is meaningless. As an absolute number it is way lower than comparable websites. Maybe its spent on wrong things, but to be convincing you need to actual talk about how its wrong. Saying zOMG WMF pays about 1% of what equivalent companies pay in salaries,is not convincing that they are overspending.
And the people ranting about graphics forget that X is a lot more than that.
> Do you think the carriers of MAOA-2R want to experience uncontrolled violent aggression? Do you think we should at least offer them a choice? Do you think parents who can afford it will waver when given the choice to offer impulsiveness- and intelligence-enhancing gene therapies to their children? Do you think it fair for those options to be available only to the wealthy?

Do you think people with a high propensity for violence (men) should be given gene therapies by their parents to reduce the production of the aggression-causing hormone testosterone?
think of WFH more like a defacto relationship.
You're trying to justify your own article. I don't think many people believe you just need "a little luck" to win $1000 at any casino game while betting just $10 per hand -- most recognize that it's close to impossible when betting that small, because it requires 100 more wins than losses. Perhaps you did not -- that's on you.
Science is all about forming hypotheses and testing them.

With Vue and Pinia, one doesn't even have to bother with patterns. Frankly, I think Redux does more harm than good. Their borderline incomprehensible documentation is a testament to that.
As it says in the linked article, it’s a global epidemic.

If you are an adult of typical sexual activity, it is likely you have already had sex with someone infected with herpes.

That doesn’t mean you have contracted it — carriers aren’t always shedding the virus.

I’m not sure I see any correlation between a country being conservative and an absence of sexually transmitted infection; the 10 countries where HIV is most prevalent are all (as far as I’m aware) relatively conservative.

Furthermore, here are some statistics from Wikipedia on HSV which may be referring to some of these conservative countries you’re referring to:

> Turkey— High levels of HSV-1 (97%) and HSV-2 (42%) were found amongst pregnant women in the city of Erzurum in Eastern Anatolia Region, Turkey. In Istanbul however, lower HSV-2 seroprevalence was observed; HSV-2 antibodies were found in 4.8% of sexually active adults, while HSV-1 antibodies were found in 85.3%. Only 5% of pregnant women were infected with HSV-2, and 98% were infected with HSV-1. Prevalence of these viruses was higher in sex workers of Istanbul, reaching levels of 99% and 60% for HSV-1 and HSV-2 prevalence respectively.

> Jordan— The prevalence of HSV-2 in Jordan is 52.8% for men and 41.5% for women.

> Israel— HSV-1 seroprevalence is 59.8% in the population of Israel and increases with age in both genders but the adolescent seroprevalence has been declining as in most industrialized nations. An estimated 9.2% of Israeli adults are infected with HSV-2. Infection of either HSV-1 or HSV-2 is higher in females; HSV-2 seroprevalence reaches 20.5% in females in their 40s. These values are similar to levels in HSV infection in Europe.

> Antibodies for HSV-1 or HSV-2 are also more likely to be found individuals born outside of Israel, and individuals residing in Jerusalem and Southern Israel; people of Jewish origin living in Israel are less likely to possess antibodies against herpes. Among pregnant women in Israel a small scale cross sectional study found the prevalence of HSV-2 infection was 13.3% and that of HSV-1 was 94.9%. The HSV-2 infection rate was 3-fold higher among immigrants from the former Soviet Union (27.5%) than among Israeli-born Jewish and Arab women (9%). Approximately 78% of HSV-2 infections in Israel are asymptomatic. HSV-1 causes 66.3% of genital herpes in the Tel Aviv area.

> Syria— Genital herpes infection from HSV-2 is predicted to be low in Syria although HSV-1 levels are high. HSV-1 infections is common (95%) among healthy Syrians over the age of 30, while HSV-2 prevalence is low in healthy individuals (0.15%), and persons infected with other sexually transmitted diseases (9.5%). High risk groups for acquiring HSV-2 in Syria, include prostitutes and bar girls; they have 34% and 20% seroprevalence respectively.
If you think management jobs are "bullshit jobs", then I envy you: You must be working with remarkably well organised coworkers.

My experience is that when managers stop doing their jobs, people start working on whatever is the most fun, stop doing boring stuff like testing if their code actually works if you leave the happy path, and ignore customer bug reports because they are too hard to reproduce right now. Then they present their super awesome new software architecture that they spent a month working on that doesn't solve any problems except implement the devs vision of a framework for inverse dependency injection or whatever they read a blog about last week.
Apple already failed twice on the server market, A/UX and Xserve, and decided it wasn't for them.

They would have to offer a top option with macOS to make it relevant, as they certainly aren't going to be offering their hardware to run GNU/Linux on top of it.

It happened once, with MkLinux, and that is also something that management won't be keen in repeating.
> You say this like norms are not meant to be challenged.

You’re free to challenge the norms. I just don’t agree with the arguments made on this occasion and had listed other reasons why beyond just social norms. Ie you’re already being compensated by choosing to live in a bigger yet cheaper property then you’d have afforded if you wanted to live closer to work.

Ultimately there is always going to be a trade off but that’s your choice not your employers.
Thanks for sharing these links. I just watched one of them and it is some great reporting.

Problem with vice is that they have been mixing serious reporting with trash, jackass plain nonsense. I remember this going on since the first time i encountered the print magazine. It seems as they are just aiming for the crass, no matter if there was substance of not and it ruined them in the end- rightfully so.
Definitely neat for a small personal or community site where you don't expect any kind of public traffic.

Not so useful for something that might end up on HN and go down.

Could also put a CDN infront to lighten the load on the upstream but guess what, now you're not just hosting on your phone anymore and might as well use other cloud services where often you can host more for free than a phone can handle
Well I'm not going to submit it to HN. I have no reason to expect the developers of OpenNLP to read HN. Overall I'm not going to promote a fork I have no desire or intention of maintaining. That would just be misleading people.

I don't want to be an OpenNLP developer.
The proper use of the Latin alphabet, or any other alphabet, should be top priority. Phonetic spelling: if you see it, you can pronounce it; if you hear it, you can write it.

Spelling bees have no sense in a rational language.
Why would I, it's online, I know where to find it... until it's gone from there. Also, that would meen I'd have to archive it before I actually needed it archived. And archiving would have to be done manually. And after it's gone, and the only proof of it existing is a text somewhere else saying that the solution to my problem is here -> LINK and the link is that, the data is gone. Not even on archive.org.

Have we really come to a phase of internet use, where everytime you see something, you have to manually save it, and on every post (even here or on reddit, facebook r wherever) a link is not good enough, but you have to copy-paste the whole block of text just to make it a bit future-proof?

Yes, just pointing out the increased danger from kerosene because not a lot of people know the differences between kerosene and diesel (which can often be substituted)
For what? To run GNU/Linux instead of macOS, keep wishing for it.

If it is to have Xserve again, no one cares about it other than companies on the Apple ecosystem, not worth the trouble, they already have Xcode Cloud for that.
Yeah either they do that or they'll burn a lot of good will
Our libraries are more or less homeless shelters now. Good for the homeless, but not so great for getting a book or using it as a third space.
