As a demo once, I trained an object detector on some vector art (high quality art, made by a UX designer) that looked like various components of burgers. I also printed the art and mounted it on magnets and used a magnetic dry board; you could put components of a burger on the board, and a real-time NN would classify the various components. I did it mainly as a joke when there was a cheeseburger emoji controversy (people prefer cheese above patty, btw).

But when I was watching I realized you could probably combine this with gesture and pose detection and build a little visual language for communicating with computers. It would be wasteful and probably not very efficient, but it was still curious how much object detection enabled building things in the real world and having it input to the computer easily.
Wonderful innovation to use handy buttons that invoke specific prompts, reducing user's cognitive load from an otherwise empty chat input box.

The graph reminds me of concept maps used in GOFAI knowledge representation and acquisition.

Obvious dimensions for improvement include sets of button-prompts specialized for various LLMs including open source ones. Plus the set of buttons could be dynamically configured per user per topic per graph using reinforcement learning or a recommendation engine technique.

I mean, talking about having you over a barrel. They know precisely that you will not stop, and find another mover. All they need to do is stretch wrap the bejeebus out of the bottom to protect those exposed pressed wood chips, but they don't want to have to do that, so they have you give them a waiver and move on to not caring

Thanks for the counterpoint and the exercise tip. I'll actually try it tomorrow, maybe mix it with my usual "idk what I'm supposed to do so maybe some burpees". But my experience so far was that nothing ever changed noticeably beyond the early days, in which the major change was just the ability to do 1.2-1.5x as much pushups/planks/burpees as the day before.

As for dieting, I had a limited success with it - managed to visibly drop weight in few months, though I regained it over the year after I dropped the diet regime. Problem is, the diet was moderately distracting on a daily basis. The bigger problem, however, is that the vastly reduced variety of meals I consumed made me dislike some of them, and make others feel bland - so at this point, I can't see myself going back on the same diet, simply because I'm repulsed by the idea of eating those same foods again.

And back to the big point - as far as I checked, neither my weight, nor diet, nor physical activity seem to have had any noticeable correlation with my sleep patterns, mood, energy levels or ability to focus. I've never felt any positive effect within days or weeks of improvement in physical activity or dieting - nothing above noise floor, and especially nothing I could clearly attribute to lifestyle change.

I'm working on a follow-up post specifically about NixOS on the Pi 4, but there are several gotchas to the process. The biggest issue I've run into is that the latest versions of the NixOS SD card images don't work on the Pi 4. You can boot to them, but when you run nixos-install, they fail with a message about hardware.raspberry-pi."4".fkms-3d.enable.

The link you shared declares itself to be out of date in several places, so it's not super helpful as a resource for newcomers.

> infrastructure would have been built, and the Taliban would have destroyed some or all of it on taking control

Why? Surely U.S military is better off in a zone where their own radios are working but others do not. So any infra that U.S military brings with them into a war zone would be available for themselves only. And likewise U.S military might even desire to sabotage infra for others in the area I would think.

So then it would make sense that 4G in general would be better after U.S troops left than prior.

But aside from that costs of 4G infra has surely been ever declining over time independently of war. So to roll out 4G will have become more and more feasible globally over time.

When the Iraq war was at its peak, iPhone did not even exist yet. And most people probably had phones that didn't even support 3G. They were still on GPRS and EDGE, if their phones even had anything beyond call and SMS capabilities at all. Man those were the bad days lol.
I thought I had read almost those exact words before. I've been known to repeat myself on here before.

In fact I've been so nuanced that I've had people use something I've said to disagree with me and then I've had to point out that the original thing is also by me.

I've been unable to determine whether I'm actually influential or am just unknowingly expressing part of a generalized changing sentiment. Confidence is the first trapping of fools.
I think this is phenomenal. I do not find the internet for Lemmy.ml accessible though yet -- for some reason whenever I visit the instance I signed up for it shows the same stories: https://sh.itjust.works. This CPP article has been there for days and it is a total red herring.
True, but if it was jump starting a service with 100 people, I’m sure Apollo would be huge in comparison. I get the idea.

But also I think people would want something like Lemmy or another federated service, which don’t really fit into Apollo that well. (Instances, federated login, etc) so I don’t really think it would’ve been feasible anyway.
Adding a layer on top would defeat the simplicity.

Show HN: Daily Reliever – An AI-Powered Daily Journal for Motivation
Hello HN,

I'm excited to share Daily Reliever (https://gen-gen.web.app/), an experimental web app that leverages AI to offer personalized motivation based on your daily experiences.

Simply input your day's events and receive motivational feedback instantly. Built using Flutter, this tool is for anyone needing a bit of positivity and motivation at day's end. Despite language and cultural barriers, I've worked to make it inclusive and intuitive with the help of AI.

Your feedback is invaluable as I continue refining it. Remember, it's a supplementary tool, not a replacement for professional help. Enjoy exploring!

Thank you!
can you elaborate on what you're saying? it sounds insightful, but also cryptic and indirect.

not flaming, just interested
Indeed, there are certainly more accidents than new drivers. Likewise, in the pacific northwest, first rain after summer is a perpetual learning experience. But you've got me curious: do drivers experience slippery conditions before they get their license or are they merely lectured about them?
It generally doesn't matter who you call. The call and rescue efforts will be directed through the designated control centre.

This kind of rescue redirect is especially common now with the advent of EPIRBs (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacons) which are registered to a particular country/authority, but work anywhere in the world. If your Lisbon-registered is activated far enough off the coast of Ecuador to be in the SF zone (and assuming the map is correct), the ARCC Lisboa will contact the SF MRCC and they'll co-ordinate the rescue effort.
Okay, so you're required to read some documentation ahead of time, that's where your problem lies.

What's a Terraform module? What is Terraform? What is a provider? Why don't I just build all my infrastructure with the AWS Console? Why is it it's own weird language? What is this state thingy that just ended up in my folder? Do i give it to the devs?

I think it's pretty much consensus that Terraform is great for provisioning anything with an API. Nix does the same for your packages, partitions, OS, containers, shells and many more things in the same functional manner.

In a company not everyone has to be a Nix wizard either, if a small team knows Nix they can build the Nix infra, then developers can reap the benefits of not having to mess with it at all.

Just because people are unable to comprehend the benefits doesn't mean they do not exist. And if you wanna reap great benefits you might need to spend an hour or two reading things.

Yes it's a novel way of doing things, but it's also one of the most actively developed projects with one of the highest amounts of contributors in the world.

> Fine, but what about auto envs and nix shell? I don't use these with make or cmake. I need to attach a debugger, where does it go? How do I set up my IDE that has no idea nix exists?

The people that know Nix well enough will assist the ones that doesn't know, if you enter a nix shell and start vscode from there it'll be aware of $PATH which Nix sets, meaning it'll find all your dependencies.
I don't really have a horse in this race; the insistence on GNU/Linux seems silly to me and misunderstands branding pretty severely. But to RMS's larger point, a kernel is not an operating system and the Linux userland exists because of the GNU project. This is less true in CURRENT_YEAR when plenty of Linux offerings are entirely GNU-free, but for most of the history of the Linux project, virtually all distributions used GNU libc, gcc, etc, etc, etc.

> Oddly, there were already provisions for these additional beams, leading me to believe the design was "simplified" on the way to manufacturing.

More likely is that an earlier version of the product did have those supporting beams. Not on the way to manufacturing, during manufacturing.

The typical IKEA experience is that the first 1-2 years of a product are built sturdier than later versions. They figure out ways to cut the cost of existing products. This hurts the consumer, because even if you hear "oh the Flybnort is very sturdy", that might no longer be true.

I’m not seeing a categorical difference between these two things, assuming the utility tariffs are subject to approval. The money they receive that is more than their expenses is their profit.

Over time, you tweak the rate increases to get the same outcome as “reasonable profit”
Then that sub should not have been designed. Because if they do surface they should be able to open the hatch.
Yeah, my mistake, the app is called "Shortcuts" now. I get confused because it was an app called Workflow that was acquired by Apple [0].

You can use the app itself to make some surprisingly powerful shortcuts, and then share them in some kind of text based serialized form (don't remember the details). I'm sure there are also ways to make them programmatically, but I doubt it would be necessary for this use case.

Seems like you basically want to extract the URL of the HN page, store it in a variable and then append that variable to the URL of your recommendation engine. There are probably more fancy variants of "extract text" that you could use, too - I'm not sure of the details.

I think that definitely language has shifted a bit, and terminology that used to mean "artist that is unable or does not want to get a publishing contract" now means "small limited resource artist". I mean for gods sake there are "indie" publishing companies now. Which I regard as this amazing contradiction in terminology.

But yes, my pedantic side insists that if a large well funded game(or movie or song) uses the same legal entity to fund the game as was used to build it. They are independent and may fairly use the term "indie". Steam is a weird kink in the rules, because they are technically publishing all these games. But I hand wave that away by claiming that they are a market not a publisher(the difference being that a publisher takes on risk by paying you before the work is done).
There are some problems.

1. Mostly separate address spaces requires changing the TLB on context switch (modern hw lets it be partial). You could use MPKs to share a single address space with fast protection switches.

2. Threads share the global heap, but your heavy threads would require explicitly defined shared writeable memory regions, so presumably each one has its own heap. That's a fair bit of overhead.

3. Failure isolation is more complicated than deciding what to kill.

The expand on the last point, Postgres doesn't isolate failures to a single process because they do share memory and might corrupt those shared memory regions. But even if you don't have shared memory failure recovery isn't always easy. Software has to be written specifically to plan for it. You can kill processes because everything in the OS is written around allowing for that possibility, for example, shells know what to do if a sub-process is killed unexpectedly. Killing a heavy thread (=process) is no good if the parent process is going to wait for a reply from it forever because it wasn't written to handle the process going away.

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

Which great games are pulling less than 1k steam sales? Or have just a handful of reviews? I've found some games I like with very low review count, but they're all clunky and whimsical, or extremely short, or can't be played without pestering the people you live with, or shoot themselves in the foot in other ways.

At some point the needle to hay ratio becomes untenable and searching the whole haystack is no longer possible for a single person. You can still randomly sample the stack, though, and rely on the opinions of others to find what you personally missed, and good games with mass appeal do tend to rise a little bit from random players stumbling across them; maybe not to blockbuster status or even profitability, but enough that a game with a marketing budget should get more than 21 Steam reviews if it's genuinely appealing. There's really not a lot of cream at the very bottom.

This is going to mislead many folks. Unless nuts are one of your favorite foods, they're not a "health" food by any means. They're far too calorie dense, even after this recalculation to make sense in a diet. Which means most of the population is well advised to steer clear of them (and other worse foods) in favor of high volume, higher protein foods, and higher fiber foods (all measured in a denominator of _per calorie_).

Sure if you love peanut butter and you want to fit it in to your calorie budget, and have the self control to not binge it, and are happy with the volume of food you get on a caloric deficit or maintenance, by all means. But for most (about 75%) of us we should be focusing on the food choices that make a deficit come naturally, because most of us have a few (or more) pounds to lose.

Now I'm sure some nay sayer will come back and be like "It's better than pizza, fries, and (american) chips" ... yeah thats true, but we shouldn't fool people into thinking they're making a choice they can live on long term with nuts.

For quite a few thousand dollars, I bought a preconstructed lacquer bedroom set from a pricey national furniture chain. The saleman said the bedroom set came with a 10 yr warranty. 4 years later, I moved to a new residence, right after which the bed frame developed a nasty squeak (you know when) that definately hadn't been operative before I moved.
I made a warranty claim to the national brand furniture company and was quickly educated as to the warranty fine-print terminating said warranty coverage at any address other than the one they delivered it to.

We've also inherited a few spare elements for BILLYs, I think some doors and shelves, never unpacked. I believe the previous owner gave up at the idea of attaching them to the assembled bookshelves, and never bothered to return them to the store.

> make it more possible for working class people to have a real shot at a stable life through diligent, hard, work

The problem with this is that, ultimately, if you view yourself as "working class", as opposed to being an entrepreneur, then your shot at a stable life through diligent, hard work is not dependent on the laws and the tax code, it's dependent on the overall business environment and what kinds of employers you can find. Which means, on luck.

If you are a lucky working class person, you will be able to find an employer who (a) recognizes your diligence and hard work, (b) is able to manage the business risks of the company so that they can afford to reward you accordingly, and (c) does in fact reward you as you deserve, i.e., is willing to share the benefits of the business with you even though you're not an owner, you're just an employee.

I'm not saying there are no such employers out there; but my description should make it evident that they will be rare. Far too rare for all diligent, hard-working working class people to benefit from them. The diligent, hard-working working class people who aren't lucky enough to find one of those employers will have to live with whatever they can get, which will range all the way from "okay but not great" down to "sweatshop".

The only way to escape this crapshoot is to be an entrepreneur--i.e., to own at least a piece of whatever business your livelihood depends on (and in practice it has to be a large enough piece that your voice will carry weight in business decisions). In other words, dealing with unavoidable business risks due to the fact that the world is always changing and businesses have to adjust, is something that, all things considered, you are better off not outsourcing to an employer.
