> blockchains and legal contracts get us aid transparency - if we can track the underlying physical assets say with 2D barcodes.

Have you heard of the oracle problem[1]? How are you planning to solve it for physical goods? A barcode is not the same as the stuff in the box and is trivially copied and transmitted using a smartphone without the goods going anywhere at all. And this is a much bigger issue to reliably delivering anything than which database organizations use to track the goods.

Yes.

Easier with Julia, though, because the ODE and PDE support is better and you have better / simpler notation. Performance will be better as well, but for simple problems you can't tell.

Show HN: moveme.tv - Find a movie to move you to a mood
Use emotive words or emojis to discover the perfect movie in under two minutes. Filter by rating, release date, what can be watched for free - or with your paid subscriptions.

---

It’s hard to find a good movie to watch. We were trying to understand, why?

Sure, there’s 18% more content now than there was three years ago. And more streaming services than ever. It’s overwhelming.

But the real issue is existing solutions don’t take our emotions into account. Emotions influence nearly every decision we make. What we want to watch is no exception: it changes based on our current mood.

But sometimes we don’t want to simply match our mood. We want to change it. And that’s the unique, transformative power movies have.

By tapping into our emotions, stimulating our senses, and creating a deep emotional bond with the characters and storylines, movies can significantly impact our moods.

Directors know this. That’s why every decision they make is intentional. The music, lighting, shot composition, editing speed, everything. They want to move the audience emotionally.

It’s why we rewatch movies - we know how they’re going to make us feel.

If watching movies is an emotional experience, shouldn’t discovering them be too?

We think so.

Except no one was doing it. So we decided to take a crack.

At moveme.tv you’re asked how you want to feel. You can select or input any emotive words or emojis.

Within seconds, our AI will suggest movies to take you on your desired emotional journey.

We’re excited that this approach might help people pop their filter bubble. To discover great classic, indie and foreign movies they’d normally never see.

Recommendations can be filtered based on ratings, release date, what can be watched for free, or what can be watched with any existing paid streaming subscription.

Some final quick points:

* moveme.tv is a free service, funded by an Innovate UK grant

* There’s no app to download and it works on any device

* You can add films to your watch or seen list

* In time, as you interact, the AI will learn what you love

* We’ve analyzed 676,906 films, on 516 streaming services across 118 countries

Our vision is to transform moods at the push of a button.

We're launching on Product Hunt today too. We see PH and HN as the first steps on our journey. Thanks for taking a look. I'd be grateful if you could share any feedback.

On behalf of the moveme.tv team, thanks.

"X years of professional experience" requirements can make it difficult to branch out of a stack/space, limiting the pool of opportunities.

A vast understatement, especially when applied to specific skills and used as hard cliffs.

As anyone with genuine experience knows: nothing could be a more useless metric of actual competence. The people who keep using this phrase (who, ironically, seem to be gainfully employed) need to have their keyboards (or these days, ChatGPT credentials) taken away.

Along with the CTOs who put them in their current "role".
But this isn’t happening because Facebook wants to extract a toll from someone.

Well, the issue is also because homelessness isn't caused because people don't have a home.

People could move to the midwest and live very cheaply if that were the issue.

The true cause of homelessness is mostly mental health issues, at least in these big cities.
How I DOSed This Newsletter
That's right. But the time, isopropyl alcohol was expensive and unavailable enough that people were getting into that business too. And the fastest movers, and most successful, would have been the hustlers.

Awhile back, I noticed that a local liquor distillery was also selling hand sanitizer. I didn't think about it at the time, but I guess that would probably have been a pretty reliable source.
For what it's worth, AMD is also incredibly proprietary. The drivers being open source really helps with compatibility and your kernel, but you're still interacting with a massive computer running it's own OS with its own trusted code solution. And that computer also has DMA to your computer.

I would consider their open efforts to be "not serious" for anyone but the consumer space - games, desktop users, maybe even professional text editors. If you're using the GPUs for "professional" applications in a one-off scenario, even AMD falls short.

I'm honestly not sure what the moral of this story is.
What's your point?

On Wednesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that would see automatic emergency braking become a standard feature on all new light passenger vehicles.
This is why you strive to identify the biases and move them from system 1 to system 2 thinking. AI will help humanity operate in a direct cognitive regime rather than sub-conscious one.
Hippo is faster than AITemplate, and supports more generative models. We haven't compared vs TVM, but for absolute token/s on M2 Max, Hippo is able to run decoding on LLAMA with datacenter level GPUs performance (with other SW).

NotImplementedException("reason") is my greatest ally when adventuring into the dark forest. I will sometimes build the entire prototype as a big NIE experience and then decide on which path(s) to implement.

My house, from the 1970s, has 100% aluminum wiring. I bought special connectors to connect copper wires to aluminum wires for extra safety when I put new outlets and switches in, as there is a fire concern when the connections are not done properly.
Exactly! And this applies not just to the writers, but any (and I mean Any) job out there - 10x-ing human output would just mean 10x more work could be done with the same amount if resources (including time and cynically, people), so a competitor won’t stay idle exploiting that. I like Parkinson’s law at play here.
Eating Disorder Helpline Chatbot Gives 'Harmful' Responses After Firing Staff
A behavior like "corrupts whatever is in memory at that location" when your code screws up a pointer is not exactly "well-defined", but it does disallow "pretends it could have corrupted RAM and does whatever it feels like instead".

To put that another way, you can treat certain behaviors as if they're opaque functions until after you're done optimizing. Similar to how you might handle volatile.

Some of these changes would be very easy. For example, instead of treating "dereference zero" as unreachable code, treat it the same as "dereference unknown location".

Show HN: Summer AI – An AI Powered Tour Guide
Hey HN,

About a year ago I left my job at Apple to work on an idea I felt was acutely needed; an app that would help you discover a bit about the things around you. The information we want is out there but finding it and relating it to the things you are looking at is not easy when out and about.

Summer AI (https://summer.ai/app) is an AI Guide that narrates the world around you. On a high level, we scrape the internet for information related to points of interest and events, then combine and filter it all down, using LLM's to summarize the final set and then use TTS to narrate it.

Under an earlier name of Wonderfy, we applied to YC a couple of times but didn't get in, although the feedback was amazingly helpful. So instead we've been bootsrapping this and consulting on the side. It's been an amazing journey bringing this to life. The improvements in LLM's definatly helped us along. We're definately standing on the shoulders of many giants so just wanted to also say thanks to everyone working on things that have enabled this.

Please try it out, have a listen, use the AR mode, and let me know if you have any feedback.

Also posting a Show HN has been on my bucket list so super thrilled to finally have something to put here!

Should We Pull Carbon Out of the Air with Trees, or Machines?
>To meet the world’s climate goals, we would need to pull anywhere from 440 billion to 1.1 trillion metric tons before the end of the century – more carbon than the U.S. has emitted in its entire history.
During peak pandemic when masks were required, I saw a lot of people wearing their masks below their noses. I assumed it was some sort of protest thing.

Now that masks are no longer required, I still see people doing that. So presumably they're just ignorant.
Admission was free to the cathedral itself, though you needed to pay to visit the roof.

Of course it was a draw to Paris in general. It's hard to measure its impact, since the cathedral fire coincides with COVID, but Paris tourism has nearly reached pre-pandemic levels and remains the most-visited city in the world.

I don't honestly believe it would be a net economic benefit to put a Starbucks there. But more to the point, the whole thing is there just because people like to look at it. That's all the "productivity" it needs.

> HIV positive people having sex

If you are under a treatment regime, and have an undetectable viral load it is basically impossible to spread HIV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undetectable_%3D_Untransmitt...

People who have consciously had sex while not undetectable, and without disclosing their HIV status to their partners have been prosecuted for it. And rightly so in my opinion.
You will be surprised.

It also says that it does protect you from other people's loads, albeit imperfectly.

However everyone is tired of masking now, and prefers to forget this.
It is. There are several issues already.

> You can't have a big ranch. That's silly.

You absolutely are allowed to do this! All you have to do is purchase the land from the people who own it.

> which is that large ranches in Wyoming are de facto illegal.

They aren't! Someone refusing to sell you something, is not the same as it being illegal.

Just like it isn't "defacto illegal" for you to purchase my house.

> your response does nothing to refute my point

it absolutely does, because it is not defacto illegal for you to buy my house, even if I refuse to sell it to you.

It is disingenuous to say that it is defacto illegal for you to buy my house, because I refuse to sell it to you.

> Two sillies don't make a sane, as it were

It is not silly for someone to refuse to sell you something.

The analogy would be like if you said "its silly for me to steal your home". And "it is also silly that it is defacto illegal for me to purchase your home".

It is not silly that you cannot buy my home, if I refuse to sell it to you. It is not defacto illegal for you to buy my home, because I refuse to sell it to you.
I don't understand how classes work in this tool.

It looks like you can only edit styles on individual elements.

I can see classes, but I don't see a way to change the class of an element, or to change the CSS properties of a class. I even tried applying different changes to the same class — larger font for one element, smaller font for another element with the same class — and CSS Pro is happy to give me contradicting CSS rules.

Example: https://imgur.com/a/qT1y95T

CSS with a separate rule for every element is unworkable. How is the exported CSS supposed to work?

And proper planning and motivation. My jurisdiction (Ontario and Canada) stockpiled 10s of millions of N95 masks after SARS1. Instead of cycling inventory, they let them expire, disposed them and never replaced them.

Then, get this, a few years later, they needed them!

Best part was I already worked at an organization that required mask fitting for all employees, but when the pandemic hit that this was in preparation for, everybody wanted them and there weren’t any available.
I'm not familiar with matlab or octave :) but I do know the discrete and continuous underlying mathematics involved here, and from the https://octave.org/ homepage, "the Octave syntax is largely compatible with Matlab", the answer is yes.

just to ELI5 for folks, the cool thing about analog computers (or digital approximations or simulations) is that since they are actually integrating (storing charge in a capacitor as the voltage varies) or actually differentiating (current through a capacitor varies with the voltage differential/rate of change) they can calculate what would be very complex to do on paper.

Or more plainly, if the rate that the water flows out of the drain of the bathtub depends on the water pressure above which depends on the depth of the water in the tub, you can study all the math involved (what you did in calculus) or you can just put water in the tub and set your stopwatch (analog computer); and electrons through or in a capacitor is just like water in a tub

this is basically all that's involved inside a music synthesizer. The complexity comes from stacking together a variety of different concepts once you understand that the concepts are stackable (like when they taught you about arithmetic being commutative, associative, distributive, reflexive, etc)
> is public education a psy-op?

I mean, in a way it is. Public education in america teaches narratives of colonialism and history that are generally pro-america. Even when they touch on things critically, there is a general slant towards mythologizing and deifying. I.e. "Thomas Jefferson was a great man and founding father of our great nation. Also he owned slaves, which was bad, but it was a different time." Attempts to push a little deeper in terms of criticism are usually met with an aggressive push back (e.g. the "critical race theory" hullabaloo).

> States don't license any doctor, they have to meet certain criteria

The state has definitely used it's powers, tho I'm not sure if doctor licensing has been specifically used, to marginalize people with beliefs considered radical. e.g. during https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

> are those state-level psy-ops?

The term psy-op is specifically about information control and messaging, etc. So I wouldn't apply to just anything that the state does to advance an ideology. But I think it applies well to arts, which is all about ideas. It doesn't apply as well as a description of the use of doctor licensing to further an ideology. For tech companies, it depends on what the tech company does, i.e. a bunch of the FUD around tiktok is about the information control it represents. I don't think psy-op is a good description of an education system with state-directed biases. Because that's more of a long-term state project, rather than a short-term targeted influencing. To me education's pro-state issues are much better described by words like "bias" or "propaganda" or "indoctrination".

Probably a longer answer than you were expecting, but I really do think cia-funding art + writing is pretty clearly a psy-op. That doesn't mean the artists they funded weren't real or good. It just means their level of success was partially the result of ideologically directed funding by the cia with the goal of influencing public opinion about communism/socialism.
How to Create an Infinite Memory LLM with Vector Databases?
By using a vector database, we can bypass the finite context limitation of current LLMs and give the model only the context relevant to the task in hand.
I'm just calling into doubt the assumption that the poster I replied to made: that openAI can't possibly be aligning with the goals of a conservative intelligence community if it has the outward appearance of promoting some kind of left wing political view. It's simply a bad assumption. That's not to say their goals are, as a matter of fact, aligned in some conspiracy, because I wouldn't know if they were.
> unfiltered nightmare of ActiveRecord

Huh, I've only heard good things about ActiveRecord. Care to elaborate?
If I recall correctly, this source was criticized because their measurement for being "out of state" was that you haven't been in CA for 2 years or so. So if someone had come in 2+ years ago for the CA homeless benefits then they would be considered not out of state.

EDIT: I might be thinking of a different study, because going to that link shows that 65% were in LA county for 20 years supposedly: https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=2059-2018-greater-los-ang...

I say supposedly because it doesn't mention how they got that information. If they used county records, it's a very different trust paradigm than if they just asked.
It wouldn’t be the end of the world to have a bundle of independent open source packages held together by shims and glue.

Can you explain more directly and with less sarcasm? My interpretation of what you're trying to say doesn't make sense so I might be misunderstanding because of how nuance sometimes gets lost in text communications.

If the US Military isn't trustworthy, shouldn't we be equally skeptical of the colonel's original claim and "journalists" who repeat whatever the air force tells them without any fact checking?

It doesn't make sense to me that we should take the word of one officer (filtered through a reporter) as gospel while saying the other can't be trusted.
What sort of effect does it have on sorting media? I assume you're sorting by title. I also assume it ends up sorting by artist quite well (though alphabetical would also do that) but that there might be some interesting groupings?

According to a separate article (https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7ezkm/eating-disorder-helpl...) the chatbot wasn't supposed to be ChatGPT-based and instead is a "rule-based, guided conversation". Whether that means it's a standard chatbot or an LLM is unclear.

- If the former, the problems speak to a systemic issue, where the management had a fundamental misunderstanding of what the helpline was actually doing. Instead they implemented a chatbot based on what they thought it did, which was wholly unhelpful

- If the latter, then the managers are idiots.
