we don’t actually think about aliens.

but if you want a list of hypothetical alternate origins, and don’t have access to the wealth of programming generated by Prometheus and made available on Discovery Networks, thanks to some of the minds of our time, this light summary might help…

* center of the earth is actually hollow, “aliens” are just inner earthlings
* one of the other planets or otherwise within the solar system isn’t so dead after all
* it’s just us - from the future
* it’s just us - from the past
* no space travel, no time travel, but parallel earths or dimensions or something
* they have always been here, we just are too dumb to see them
Yes! In the US particle physics community, they came up with a solution to this. Every ten years, the field as a whole gets together and sets an agenda for the field that self-prioritizes funding, before making a case to the national funding agencies and Congress. The idea is that if the high energy folks are computing with the neutrino folks, and things get nasty to the point where people on each side are saying stuff like "neutrinos suck, here's why you shouldn't fund them and fund us instead!"... All the suits are going to hear is "physics sucks here's a bunch of reasons we shouldn't fund them".

The process/report is called P5 (particle physics projects prioritization panel), and it's actually happening right now to form the coming decadal report.
I've seen so many people search for the best AI Copywriting tool, and while this can be the right way to go about it, it's not the best.

All I can recommend to you is to find the best AI Copywriting tool for individual use cases if you want to achieve the best results.

In this video, I'm comparing Surfer SEO AI, KoalaWriter and Frase.io on which AI Copywriting tool performs best in general and what their individual use cases are.
Show HN: CodeZen – A simple CLI tool to ask LLM questions about your codebase
Hello HN!

I regularly utilize LLMs for querying my codebases and have been seeking an efficient solution for that. Using ChatGPT can be quite tedious, requiring manual copying and pasting of file contents. Github Copilot Chat (beta) falls short when the queries need information from multiple files.

This is why I created a tiny CLI tool named CodeZen. It lets you ask a question and sends it to GPT with the entire codebase as context. For example, you can use `codezen "write me a readme.md file"` to create an entire readme file for your project.

It’s pretty bare-bones right now - only suitable for codebases small enough to fit in the LLM context. Yet, it's been quite handy for me, and I thought it might be beneficial for others too.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions

Maor.
That’s not even close to being the main problem in launching a Reddit competitor. Reddit moderators are unpaid. Content moderation not being automated is not a problem. People like to do it for free.

The problem is the user base. Biggest obstacle for any social media site is attaining critical mass. In order to do that, you need to be an order of magnitude better than your competitors on some metric which makes the users choose your platform over their entrenched one.
They are explicitly stated as being Portid spiders in the book.
haha, could be, after all our kids play with ants,

and the ants most probably think that we are highly advanced entities.

and it doesn't take the kids too much energy nor technological resources - for the human technological level - to play with ants, but ants probably would see the kid's resources as incredible advanced, well beyond its current technological capabilities.

So yeah it could be 5th dimensional kids playing with us (ants from their perspective).

You can always have a louder laughter...

Hey HN!

As a (paying) ChatGPT user I was surprised to find that there were no convenient way to add an LLM-powered chatbot (GPT or otherwise) to Slack (chat platform I use most often), so I wrote one.

Geppetto currently uses gpt-3.5-turbo model via OpenAI API and answers when you mention it (@geppetto) with a question. Each conversation thread is like a saved conversation within ChatGPT interface.

As a privacy-sensitive European, I tried to make this as least data-intrusive as possible: Gepetto stores nothing (I literally have no idea who uses it, I just get opaque IDs from Slack, and I only get your email if you subscribe, for payment/subscriptions purposes), and it only listens to conversations where it was explicitly mentioned (or DM'd).

I have a big todo list (more models, gpt4, multi-model features, plugins) but as a MVP, this has already been very useful to me (I built Geppetto using Geppetto to help me out with stuff like Slack integration, Next.js setup, etc), and I hope it'll be useful to others.
Would love to know how you look at tools list Materialize in comparison

Not a formal definition, but noise is simply the undesirable parts of the output of any information processing device, be it a sensor, an amplifier, or a transmission medium. But on Earth it's simply not practical as such. Gravitational waves observatories are used to detect events such as neutron star or black hole mergers that are otherwise unobservable, but they require an insane level of precision to be detected.
25 billion times per month. That's hardly very much used. It's an awkward UI at best. It's not profitable, and doesn't bring much to the table compared to other features. Even after 3 years, and opening the API to Siri for developers to use, it's still under-utilized.
That's a slightly more sophisticated take, compared to "ugh this person did something Very Bad (TM), let's disregard absolutely anything else that they did", isn't it?
people generally don't want to pay for anything, so it's difficult. though there are some success stories like Gitlab, most open source businesses end up changing their licensing to not be pure "open source", e.g. CockroachDB and MongoDB. Though at least in the former case they have a time provision that converts it back to AGPL IIRC.
That is not a technological problem, as what is one persons "hate speech" is another persons political speech, and no one can agree on where the line is

For me the line is no line... All Speech should be allowed, the problem with moderation is attempting to do it in the first place at the platform level

Give people their own personal controls to see or not see, to block, mute, or otherwise disassociate.

Anything beyond personal tools to control your own overton window will be a problem. Reddit is a prime example of this where by countless issues with power tripping mods who over censor communities exist.
I hear that :/ I just re-enabled a handful of unregistered ideas if you'd like to give it a try without signing up (refresh the app). It was getting hit so much that requiring registration was perhaps an easy way to reduce the API calls and simultaneously grow the user base, but I get that's not ideal for quickly trying it out on HN.
Christianity promoted this teaching: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus"

This was a radically different teaching from other world views at the time, paganism being the main one in question during Roman times.

Paganism may or may not have specifically promoted slavery, but it did not offer any teaching that there might be a fundamental problem with it.
1. This looks super cool

2. I admit to not understanding data lakes at all. I thought it was like a failure case for like, "we can't figure out how to get this data into a database", because isn't updating it a huge chore? You have to make sure that if you're updating you're not also generating new analytics, which it seems like you're always doing because it's very slow. Don't databases solve this pretty elegantly? Why are there all these tools for dealing with data in flat files?
My own experience indicates that people seeking those subs out also have a higher likelihood of being intentionally provocative, and the line between "provocative" and "troll" is very different for very different people.

Richard Dawkins on God, vaccines and his poetic spirit
The author credited is Josephine Quinn, a subscriber to intersectionality who wishes to provide an assumption for easy consumption that it wasn't just Africans and Aborigines who subscribed to barbarism (her assumption). Her assertion is that as the western world is based on the ancient Greek and Roman world (again her assumption) and that they were barbaric and that therefore we in the west are not better than them (again her assumption, not mine).
No, this is the same point I've been making since 2010. Having libertarian ideas like "code is law" and "money should be decentralized and permissionless" sound nice in theory, but in the real world they don't work very well.

You are seeing this now with the fact that we have not elected anti-regulation people over the past 13 years. And people have preferred to stay with more traditional financial products. So crypto isn't working out in the real world.
To quote from Carroll's "Symbolic Logic":

He will reply "Why, it's perfectly correct, of course! And if your precious Logic-book tells you it *isn't*, don't believe it! You don't mean to tell me those tourists *need* to run? If I were one of them, and knew the Premisses to be true, I should be *quite* clear that I *needn't* run — and I *should walk*!"

And you will reply "But suppose there was a mad bull behind you?"

And then your innocent friend will say "Hum! Ha! I must think that over a bit!"

You may then explain to him, as a convenient *test* of the soundness of a Syllogism, that, if circumstances can be invented which, without interfering with the truth of the Premisses, would make the Conclusion false, the Syllogism *must* be unsound.

The old classic saying is "Anyone that wants to be a politician is not someone you want as a politician"

Well that is true for reddit mods as well, people that like to moderate subreddits are drawn to the action because they like to have power over the others, this is generally not someone you want in charge of anything
open source doesn't necessarily mean you're giving it away for free. often the product is actually a service and having the source isn't necessarily useful to consume said service.

Tortured logic. "Pausing student loans" not only paused payments but also interest accrual for several years. While their nominal student debt is the same, any individual's increases in salary/wages over that time mean that their "real" debt is on average probably 6-15% lower than it was at the beginning of the pause.

Sure, they may have taken on other debt in the meantime but this article does nothing to disprove that debt would have been taken on anyways. It's not an article in good faith - they try to make it sound like the growth in debt was student-loan debt but it was other things. The article also uses a shotgun approach to list all the ways that pausing student loan debt could have 'made' people take on more debt than the would have otherwise -- but they never state what that new debt is or attempt to do any analysis of the driving factors that led to taking on that debt.

With the rise of "afterpay", "klarna", etc...it might mostly be 0% interest debt, which is even a potentially financially responsible choice. It also might not be, but this article does no investigation whatsoever. My real guess though is it's likely driven primarily by sharply rising vehicle prices. In no way would the student debt pause increase the need for a frugal, but very expensive, vehicle purchase in the past 2 years.

> It's tempting to jump on sales that are presented as steals. But when it comes to online shopping, you can't trust every sale price (or review, or seller) you see.

Surely this isn't limited to online shopping. In the days of yore, when I sold PCs at Circuit City, my store would put together package deals where you bought a PC, monitor, printer, etc. The prices for the package deals were the same as if you bought everything together, but we'd put it all on one tag, at a single price, and also show the total you could get in mail-in rebates from the whole package. Because it was advertised as a package, people assumed it was cheaper, oftentimes.

Software in general, open source or not, is not good business. If salaried job is not for you then consulting/freelance is pretty much the way to go for software engineers. Either way, you are selling your expertise and time instead of the end result.
I can appreciate this. I can also appreciate your decision to disagree. One could argue that there are improvements to be had in our emergency call centers but having lived in both urban and rural environments, I feel confident that emergency services know how to get around most traffic problems. (Sometimes they'll just invent a hole.)

I'm not, not going to enable my kid to get a hold of me in an emergency. There's just no chance of that. I don't trust that the schools have this under control and (anecdata time!) the teachers I know don't really feel it either. Show me progress on school safety. Prove we're doing more than just theater. Then we (the royal "we," not you and I) can have a healthy discussion about use of electronics in a school environment. I don't _want_ my kid to have a phone at school, I just don't _trust_ that we're doing everything we can to ensure physical safety.

Deepfake videos show real people engaged in fake sex.

Could deepfakes potentially hurt sextortion? If everything can be faked with anyone then even non-faked content could be declared fake. Might this be a relief for any of Epstein/Maxwells targets? "Wasn't me, must have been AI." Or is it not yet realistic enough?

I could see a risk to brands however. When kids start making realistic videos of themselves getting busy with Wonder Woman I assume their investors may see that as damaging and have no idea what they might do to mitigate it. That is unless we are still just replacing faces.

I think the (standing-)desktop setup with keyboard, mouse, and monitor(s) is already close to the ergonomic optimum for any kind of work that is heavily text based (from Excel sheets to technical and prose writing to coding to email and chat, and forums like here), despite the ergonomic shortcomings that remain. (The one exception being pure reading or markup tasks, where tablet-style devices are great.) Our bodies haven’t really evolved for written communication, but it’s nevertheless still the most effective in many ways, given how our hands and eyes work. I don’t think there is any dystopia in it. Rather, we should embrace it for the many purposes it is effective for, and work to improve it within its paradigm, rather than chasing a fantasy of replacing it with somehow more intuitive or natural means, which generally turn out to only be good for casual or low-text use.

Can't modern AI help with that? I'd guess GPT is pretty good at determining sentiment like racism.

Try it with ChatGpt, ask it determine if a sentence you give it is racist or not.

Of course, AI can't be the only moderator, but it may help to filter out most of the obvious cases.

While some reddit alternatives might qualify as "racist", they've done a very good job at not being "porn filled shit holes", unlike reddit. In fact, most of the porn spam on these websites are images or videos hotlinked from... reddit.
If you don't like the business model of subscription based software, and think there is a user segment that feels the same, and think you can build a product as installed software with a one time fee, build it.

Keep in mind your product may have a varied client install base of Windows 10, Windows 11, Mac OSes, possibly various flavors of Linux as well as mobile OSes as target platforms. I guess depending on your product, maybe you build and sell a self hosted server option? In that case you have to think of what server OSes people could be running and figure out a way to help those customers install, configure and patch the software you'll sell to them. Running things in the cloud and with containers is fairly common so you may want to look at creating container images customers could use and ways for them to keep their data when you roll out new versions.

You'd of course want some really good install documentation for people to start with first. Then you'd need to staff up support people to help customers with installs, patches, upgrades and security vulnerabilities in the stack.
