Tell HN: WhatsApp is infested with ads now
We all knew it was going to happen, and like a frog being boiled it has happen. My (Indian) number registered on WhatsApp gets dozens of ads every month via its business chats features. What's worse is that even if you block one source of ads, they'll return with what seems like a different number. I've clicked on "STOP" on many chat threads only for a new thread to come up some time later. WhatsApp seems to not care that this technically violates their business policies; I've also reported several of these threads to no effect.

While some of this may not be true for other regions, given the uptake it's seeing in India I wouldn't be surprised if it spread elsewhere too. The worst part is, for many of us, we have no choice but to deal with it :')
> societal expectations are against faith and trust in the other person

That implies a need for faith and trust in a person. Where does is that need come from? Committed romance.

If that isn't my goal, what do I have to fear?
I put in the task "floss"

It gave me 1 star.

I guess the task was too ambiguous and I might have flossed something else?

We are an early stage health tech company using AI to improve hospital revenue cycle (making healthcare costs lower and allowing doctors to focus on patient care). The team is small but high functioning (M.D. data scientist combos, former ASF board member, Google and Amazon engineers, etc.) and initially scaled the company to $1MM+ in contracted revenue without raising capital. We have been backed by top investors including Floodgate (Lyft, Twitch, Twitter), deployed successfully, 6X'ed in the past year, and we have runway through Dec 2025.

We think there's an opportunity to build 'AI first' workflows (e.g. exception-based workflows) are looking for *Frontend Engineers* that can help us reimagine hospital workflows.

We are a no B.S. organization. If interested email us at hiring at smarterdx dot com
I think that most people can't give it a dry run without that liquidation, though. Having a normal job gets in the way of that lifestyle and is virtually guaranteed to sour the experience.

Obvious not all of them like it, but I think even fewer would like it if they don't commit to it outright.

It's definitely not for me. I need a lot more stability than that.
Not a dyndns or router issue. My ISP blocks ports upstream, so there's no way to open a port on my home IP. I use the VPN to get an open port on a Mullvad IP and tunnel it to my web server.
Still, I was surprised when someone told me the rule was "at least two opponent players between you and the goal line" instead of only one. I had never thought of the keeper.

My first thought was actually the IUPAC's Orange Book (https://iupac.org/what-we-do/books/orangebook/). Then I realized this is a tech site, so maybe this was talking about the Orange Book of the CD specification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Books#Orange_Book_(199... ).

My conclusion from all of this: people need to stop naming books after rainbow colors.
People with kids, I'd guess. I bought a Quest 2 a couple years ago as a toy, as much for myself as for the kids, but they've dominated usage of it. Which is fine, because I didn't find anything that was a huge draw for me. But they fight over the damn thing every day, and use it almost as much as they use the Xbox.
Is it really positive in today's context though? When OP said only one spouse out of this whole group accepted these special friendships, I'm guessing that the time spent maintaining these kinds of friendships is getting in the way of marriages. If hardly any women will stay married to a guy with friendships like this, that's kind of a problem if he wants to be married.

No worries at all. For the teams which are happy on CSV/JSON, i'd admit that lance is not ideal alternative for them.

Yeah, we are building different indices into this columnar storage format, which is actually a happy side-effect of its good random-access performance. It does occur extra space for indices.

Thanks for your kind word too!
> > I don't understand why men have to think they've "discovered" something about lifelong bonds that is exclusive to just men's club

It's special because you risk your life together. You kill the enemy together while it's conspiring to kill you and your friends, but you manage to outsmart them and get to live.

Also Nature, when Nature comes at you and you find a way to dominate and resist the elements and ride it out, so that you make it home.

Men are not made to bob their heads in a club, they are made for "close call" type of scenarios and situations, if it doesn't come down to a close call with very high stakes on the line then it's kinda boring and pedestrian which is the prelude to depression and feelings of worthlessness
Yeah, that's a conundrum to be sure. It sort of feels logical that if you weren't successful at making friends during the prime years for that (youth, young adulthood) then there's not much reason to believe you'll have more success in the more difficult years.

For example, I sort of maintain 2 friend tiers. Tier 1 friends are the "friends for life" I've made along the way. We all maintain a chatter and we may not see each other frequently but we do when the opportunity arrises and we just pick it up, totally natural, etc. This group is pretty much immutable at this point besides the death of friends along the way to our own death.

Tier 2 friends are more like "friends of convenience". These types will drop in and out of your life for a variety of reasons. They're the kinds of people that are your wife's mom friends' husbands, work friends, neighbors, etc. You socialize on your better behavior and although you enjoy each others company, you're usually just meeting because of some convenience, like a BBQ or child's/their birthday, community event or w/e.

Because the truth is this - most guys, by the time they either have created a family or are looking to create one, aren't looking for new friends. I'm not interested in trying to build new, deep relationships with other guys at this point. I have the family I've built, my core friends that I have real bonds with, and my acquaintances that we enjoy each other's company and would attend each others's funeral, but wouldn't speak at it.

I think joining an organization is your best bet. Getting involved in something and becoming an active member in it. You need something that forms a common bond with other people looking for that sort of thing.
For what it’s worth America is one of the easiest if not the easiest place to be an immigrant, all things considered. You’ll find a community of your fellow countrymen already thriving, you have well established rights that are maintained by the rule of law, and so long as you try to fit in and work hard nobody will pay much mind. Many if not most digital nomads are Americans traveling from an open minded heterogeneous society to a more conservative and homogeneous one. No matter what you call it you’re leaving a society that is relatively pro immigration behind for a society that is very likely less inviting of foreigners!

I hope the recent wave of digital nomads makes the world a more open and inviting place but there will be growing pains. America has been the land of immigrants for centuries now and we still have blowback. Imagine going to some rural village or regional capital, making 10x more than all the locals while sitting at a hotel on your laptop, and expecting them to roll out the red carpet! Be respectful, be optimistic, and welcome to the life of an immigrant.
I do not buy this paper's conclusion.

First problem I see is that they use Road Fatalities as proxy metric for overall goodness.

If someone's driving drunk, and they run their truck into your living room at 2am - yeah maybe no one died, but a lot of damage and stress was caused. Not to mention just destruction in the form of minor accidents.

I simply cannot buy the conclusion - "Yeah it's a good thing we have a few drunk drivers". Call me anti science if you must

> I could do insane things with a hypothetical version of GPT 4 that’s private, effectively free, and a few orders of magnitude faster.

You are describing a privately hosted LLaMA, Falcon or Starcoder instance (albeit with lower quality than GPT4). You pay for the speed you want, though TBH they are already very fast on modest GPUs.
On the other hand, I think it's a great way to start a positive habit. Sure, maybe, one can fail on the first try but these offset the long run mindful activities to achieve more discipline.

I'm not an expert or anything at this but I have appreciated the Atomic Habits book where switching your brain's focus to trying something for 5 minutes eventually overcomes the barrier to not doing it.

You're right. 'America' as people talk about it often means coastal US metros... definitely nothing to do with 'flyover' areas smaller than Chicago.

I'm surprised by pockets of the city I grew up in when I walk a few blocks off the roads I've driven 100s of times. Latin/Somali/Vietnamese/you-name-it neighborhoods I had no idea existed. Sqaure-mile or two neighborhoods within a 1-200sqmi metro, not too surprising.
This is really interesting! I'm curious how much hosting a model on this platform would cost for a month?

Hey everyone! I am Shashank, a data, cloud and backend engineer with 8 years of experience. Currently, I specialize in building backend APIs, ETL pipelines, and developing security tools at an Ad Tech security company. At my previous company, I served as a founding engineer and data engineer. During my tenure, I designed and built the entire data infrastructure, payments platform, and most of the company's products. Throughout my 8-year career, I have gained extensive experience in delivering products from concept to launch, designing architecture, product & infrastructure planning, and managing small teams.

I have been working fully remotely for New York based companies since the past 4 years from India and Europe as a digital nomad. I am open to fully remote roles as well as onsite/hybrid if visa sponsorship is available.
I politely disagree. Both pieces of code have a teaching value, but different.

The iterative code is busy and long, but allows to track exactly how the pretty trivial calculation is happening, down to elementary(-ish) operations.

The comprehension-based code is more declarative; it succinctly shows what is happening, in almost plain English, without the minute details cluttering out the purpose of the code.

For anyone who is not a Python beginner, but is an ML beginner, the shorter version is much more approachable, as it puts the subject matter more front-and-center.

(Imagine that every matrix multiplication would be written using explicit loops, instead of one "multiply" operation. Would it clarify linear algebra for you, or the other way around?)

Quest 2 + virtual desktop to wirelessly stream from the PC is perfection.

Not being locked down by cables is basically a requirement to me now.. I was in from the very first DK1 but once I got a Quest2 the cable free reigns supreme, even though I'm giving up a little bit of tracking compromise (cameras on device vs the steam/vive room tracking).
It's important to have an experienced tripper with you so that when you have a solution, someone can write it down if you're unable to. Or a voice reorder, or some way of capturing your insight.

Has worked every time for me.
There's also the situation in American football where the team on defense purposely lets another team score a touchdown rather than stop them for a field goal, in order to have some time left to try to regain the lead. Also vice versa, where the player on offense will purposely fall before going into the end zone.

This one though is at least somewhat of a double-edged sword, as it's not a 100% given that the team's kicker will make a field goal (probably around 90-95% success rate.)
The AI revolution is about to take over your web browser
This generally looks pretty cool, but on my machine, the "pick any color you need" demo doesn't work. As I mouse over the image, it seems to be generating completely random colors for each pixel, with no correlation to the color that's actually there.
I know a few people who didn't really commit to it but, yeah, they didn't really last that long. And, especially as you get older, there are also just a lot of practical issues with not having a home base. And, if you do have a home base, then you need to worry about maintenance and checking in on that base.

My personal take is that I can easily see heading off to someplace for a month. Maybe two. But probably not much interest in more than that.
is this because the bottom team gets the first draft pick?
That's mostly how I interpreted it as well:

> "Customer support agents using an AI tool to guide their conversations saw a nearly 14 percent increase in [overall] productivity, with 35 percent improvements for the lowest skilled and least experienced workers, and zero or small negative effects on the most experienced/most able workers... [out of] 5,000 agents working for a Fortune 500 software company."

AI quality is somewhere in the middle between highly skilled and neophyte (at present anyway).
Not exactly going to disagree with you there. Just felt it was an important question to ask considering the rigidity of their comment.
Agreed. I'm surprised they release unpaid updates as opposed to paid DLCs. Wonder how they manage.
It's just a different language and a simple "property" layer over the existing data. No changes to the internals are necessary.

doesn't 'nomad' imply you're moving from place to place? remote workers can settle down and integrate into an area, but the digital nomads i know usually only stay as long as their tourist visa lasts - which isn't long at all.
I absolutely couldn't care any less about how many stars my repos have. The fewer, the better.

I basically write my code for my own consumption. Some of my projects are kinda weird[0], because they were designed to fill a specific need at the time.

The thing is that the vast majority people just don't care about the culture of harassment in the company. And honestly, I don't see why they should, as it does not affect them as consumers.

Making shit products is something that affects consumers, and they will complain about that.

I've never seen a curved rigid board and I'm having a hard time understanding how SMT would work. If you have examples I'd love to see them.

I've spent the last 15 years as a hardware design engineer in consumer electronics, 4 of those years were working on wrist worn wearables for one of the biggest players. Wearables utilize FPCs for curved sections. Sometimes sections the FPC will be stiffened with pieces of FR4 to support larger components, but the SoC, DDR, etc is always SMTd to flat rigid PCB. I've heard reports of rigid boards being bent if the stack up is only a few layers, but have never seen in a production product. Generally the traces and solder ball joints for the chips can't handle the strain.
It's interesting to see how some of the boundaries drawn by this end up lining up with historical territories. For instance, in this map much of the American southwest comes under Mexico, which it largely was a part of during the middle of the 19th century. Scotland and Wales also fall under Ireland, which also makes sense given their common Celtic ancestry. And Vatican City has much more territory in Italy, which it did throughout much of the last millennium as the Papal States.

Either that math is wrong, or we're eating different dinners.
Quickfit is mostly concentrated on their larger/higher end watches, like Fenix and up. Their lower end watches (like the Forerunner 265) still have a quick release spring bar.

In contrast, Casio G-Shocks, which are specifically built to be rugged/fashionable, don't have any kind of quick change mechanism. The strap is integrated into the case that further protects the watch.
Is it it even technically for the model to know it’s hallucinating?
Crashing the program during runtime and having to debug it then is still a worse experience than knowing before running it that it cannot crash (due to memory errors).

This certainty comes at a cost, either by negotiating with the Rust compiler or by putting up with a GC. But depending on your calculus, that cost might be worth paying.
Harsh, but fair :)
Reasonably modern C++ would allow you to define a Counter class, and to define maps and filters, if the stdlib versions don't work for you for whatever reason.

Fortran, on the other hand,...
AFAICT the idea is that you are not directly querying the tables as a graph, but you construct a graph "view" from the tables, and then query that graph using PCQ.

What makes Demeo great? I'm considering getting it.
One of the problems of digital nomads that come to my town is that they're introverted quiet people that would rather be on HN or reddit than be part of the community. Actually they'll never be part of the community as by definition they'll be off in a few months.
