skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Just last week I went over 8k lines of data, doing a forst applicability analysis, meaning which lines to be considered for further analysis. The information I needed to do so was hidden in manually created comments, because of course it is, I have never ever seen pre defined classifications used consistently by people. And those pre defined classes never cover whatever need one has years later anyway.

Thing is, when I started I didn't even know what to look for. I knew once I was done, so almost impossible to explain that to LLM before. Added benefit, I found a lot of other stuff in tue dataset that will be very useful in future. Had I used a LLM for that, I wouldn't know hald of what I know about that data I do now.

That's the risk I see with LLMs, already now my pet peeve are data scientist with no domain knowledge or understanding of the data they analyze, but at least they now the maths. If part ofbthat is outsourced to a blackbox AI that halluzonates half the time, I am afraid most of those analysises will be utterly useless, or worse, misleading in a very confident way...

TLDR: In my opinion LLMs take away the curious discovery when go over data or text or whatever. Which is lazy and prevents us from casually learning new things. And we cannot even be sure we can trust results. Oh, and we are moving to think more about the tool, LLMs and prompts, than we of doing the job. Again, lazy and superficial, and a dead sure way to get mediocre, at best, results.
There used to be more fasting and abstinence than Lent: "The word tempura comes from the Ember Days (quatuor tempora in Latin), the quarterly periods of fasting in Western Christian churches, where believers go meatless." (Wikipedia)

"The word ember originates from the Latin quatuor tempora (literally 'four times')." (Wikipedia)

Frankly, I don't think you understand Japanese morphology at all and are blowing a whole load of hot air.

The inflection of arigatashi -> arigatou is quite straightforward and any adjective in Japanese can undergo the same inflection:

- arigatashi -> arigatai: modernization

- arigatai -> arigataku: adverbalization

- arigataku -> arigatau -> arigatou: u-onbin

It would perhaps also help your case if you didn't misspell "arigatou" twice in your post, either.
One fairly common convention is to suffix with `_` to avoid shadowing, e.g. `input_`

There are some weaknesses with that theory:

The signal has been detected since at least 1988. An asteroid belt around a sun would be dynamic and continuously changing, making it unlikely for the same 20-minute repeating pattern to persist for decades.

The bursts vary in intensity and duration, and occasionally don't happen at all within a given window. This is not consistent with a simple periodicity expected from gaps in an asteroid belt.

The repetition period of 22 minutes is very slow for an asteroid belt around a sun. Typical asteroid belts have orbital periods measured in hours to days, not minutes.

For asteroids to completely block the emission from the sun during each 20-minute gap would require an extremely large number of asteroids, far more than seen in our own solar system's asteroid belt.

The semi-randomness of the signal is difficult to explain by gaps in an asteroid belt, which would be expected to produce much more regular periodicity.

The required size and stability of such an asteroid belt, persisting for decades around a sun, is not consistent with current astrophysical models of asteroid belt dynamics.

Here are some other theories that could potentially explain GPM J1839–10:

Precessing black hole - The repeating radio bursts could be caused by a precessing black hole accreting material. The precession period of around 22 minutes could explain the observed repeating pattern. However, such slow precession is not well understood for black holes.

Colliding neutron stars - GPM J1839–10 could be two neutron stars in a binary system that collide every 22 minutes, producing the radio bursts. However, the persistence of the signal for decades is difficult to explain in this scenario.

Magnetar with fluctuating magnetosphere - A magnetar, a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field, could have a magnetosphere that fluctuates on a timescale of around 22 minutes. This could cause repeated emitting and blocking of radio waves, producing the observed pattern. However, current magnetar models do not predict such slow fluctuations.

Interacting binary system - GPM J1839–10 could be two orbiting objects that interact every 22 minutes, disrupting material and producing the radio emission. Possibilities include a neutron star and black hole or two neutron stars. However, the required orbital period of around 22 minutes is extremely wide for a compact binary system.

Strange state of quantum chromodynamics - Some theorists have proposed exotic states of matter governed by quantum chromodynamics that could provide a source of persistent but fluctuating radio emission. However, such proposals are highly speculative at this point.
Wow - I was recently in Lisbon for the second time in two years, and I insisted my other half and I ordered these at a restaurant, as I had tried them on my first visit and they were delicious!

"Safe" in what sense? Is an LLM output which we recognize as racist or factually incorrect going to be directly responsible for the loss of life, serious injury or significant property damage?

Show HN: Am I balding AI ? Website that tells your norwood scale with AI
Hey guys,

The app detects how much you are balding using the norwood scale (0 is perfect hairline, 7 is fully bald).

It is trained on tens of thousands of images. It is not perfect but still quite good at detecting the norwood scale, I am planning to improve it little by little.

In the future, I will add detection of DUPA (people who are diffuse thinner) and hair diseases that can be detected with a video.

I've found my most interesting jobs on LI.

Sure, several of them, I could have found elsewhere, e.g. on a dedicated job board. But I wasn't at those other job boards, nor was the recruiter who brought them onto my radar.

If I had avoided LI, I would have missed out on some of my best gigs.

>That's the current state of affairs. Why do you think the technology will not improve beyond where it is now?

To replace a developer you would need a human level AI, that is impossible for now.

You can improve the tech to do simple jobs and help me like

- review this code I wrote for potential corner cases

- generate some unit tests for this functions

- find some code in this giant project that does X . I know I wrote it 3 years ago but I have no idea how I named the function or maybe it was a different project.

- rewrite this old IE6 JS/jQuery into modern JAvascript

But IMO a tool that can do this would use LLM but you need an actual
valid code checker/interpretor to do a production ready code. I can't trust an LLM to update a giant piece of code without chainging something, I prefer a tool like Intellj refactoring that actual understand code.
>Because this is what always happens when tools cause productivity gains. Budgets aren't infinite.

I think you'd actually struggle to find an example in history where productivity gains have resulted in prolonged, and industry-wide unemployment for those trained in that area.

I completely agree that technology can make individuals redundant, as in your flight crew example. And yet we are seeing a global shortage of airline pilots, how do you explain that? If technology makes people unemployed (across an economy, over the medium-long term), why aren't there piles of pilots working at McDonald's?

Is not that as technology improves, industries which were once small/unprofitable can balloon into hugely lucrative industries?
I realize maybe a minority of HN even remembers this, but at some point ~10 years ago, LinkedIn would agressively spam your contacts lists. If you logged in on your phone they would somehow get your phone contacts. When you signed up they had you log in with your email address, and then would try to get you to spam your entire contacts list there too.

I think web integrations have gotten locked down since then.. not for altruistic reasons, but because Google and Apple don't want to give Microsoft access to the data they have on you, so yeah, it's at least harder to accidentally give LinkedIn access to your contacts list now, but the damage has already been done for a lot of people
Indeed, requests to "show us the chip" remain unanswered

Ask HN: What's your criteria for choosing an Angel Investor?
One advise I have often heard people talk about is to be cautious of who you are raising money from. One of the criteria I am aware of is whether the angel is going to be reachable when you need help and someone who can help you network and actively help with introductions. There definitely must be more to know about it.

Do you have any experience raising an angel money or accelerator money? What did you look for? And what things did you take care of?

I am not sure if this should be a separate post but I also wanted to ask about any strategies. One I've heard is to start from the bottom of your list so that as you reach the top you are more prepared. And if you read any books to prepare yourself for fundraising.
It’s the advantage (like they said) that you don’t have to login into Salesforce. This tool slows them down, and via voice they don’t have to use the salesforce application directly.
Imagine you have awesome ideas and plans and have 8 hours a day. But if you can only be productive for ~6, you’re losing a ton of time just because the tool is bad designed/planed/slow/{insert more words here}.

If you want more about that, I would recommend reading the book. Quite interesting read :).

Take Down (the movie) was fantastic fiction, and even showed Mitnick as convicted before he even was.

> And I think it can work if you are trying to make money on services rather than devices used to provide them.

You sort of proving my point. If you open sourced firmware, apps, any service software, there is no reason why someone else couldn't run it without having to incur R&D and other costs and take your lunch.

Hardware is rather easy to clone, that's why many manufacturers don't care to submit their designs to Chinese companies. Often it more or less follows the datasheets. Firmware, however, is a completely different pair of shoes.
Yeah, I mixed up two unrelated things that I shouldn't have They don't recommend using English as a guide for vowels for that exact reason - it's one of the most nonsensical orthographies in that respect. But the website only says "like English" for consonants, where it kinda sorta works (although they forgot to say that "g" is always hard).
It might be time to start working on that fork.
Briefly, as the substance is discussed in my other reply:

> the big variation (e.g. R0 from 3.7–203.3 for measles, per my other comment here) is real

Morpheus: "What is real? How do you define, real?"

CIs that wide are just an obfuscated way of saying "we have no idea what's going on or what will happen". Anyone can make predictions that way. For example by the end my life my bank balance will be $4.7 million (CI $5.00-$50M). Those numbers aren't "real" in any meaningful sense. Anyone can express don't-know in sophisticated looking numerical form, and they wouldn't justify me claiming to be a financial expert on the back of them.

> any more than you could define the growth rate of a plant independent of weather and soil fertility.

You can define growth rate of a plant this way: define a standardized lab environment with regularized soil composition and artificial light/watering schedules. Then plant seeds and measure the dry weight at the end of a fixed time period. This will give you a number that's comparable across species. There are other definitions you could use because "growth rate" is slightly ambiguous in English (does a tree grow faster than a weed because the tree achieves bigger mass?), but that's the general idea.

What you shouldn't do is just grab datasets of wildly varying quality off the internet, fit an equation you just invented on the spot to that data, and announce you've discovered something real about the plants in the data. That would indeed yield a growth rate that doesn't tell you anything meaningful.
Tangential question: there is one reason to use NODELETE in the dlopen(3) man page:
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/dlopen.3.html

RTLD_NODELETE (since glibc 2.2)
Do not unload the shared object during dlclose().
Consequently, the object's static and global variables
are not reinitialized if the object is reloaded with
dlopen() at a later time.

Are there any other times when it's beneficial to use NODELETE?
Thank you for sharing, feedback like this is a great to see :)

It's because anyone can send email from any email address.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC prevent impersonation on the domain level, but not the account level. Basically, if you can send using you@domain.com, you can also send as someone_else@domain.com.

Now, of course your sending SMTP service _should_ prevent this by means of authentication, but the receiver can't rely on this.

Maybe we could obtain something like this with more than one object orbiting around, like on a ring. With enough objects in motion the blocking pattern can be obscured enough until a higher number of repetitions happens

Owl's brain uses Bayesian inference to find its prey
The article discusses how owls are able to hunt prey in complete darkness using their highly specialized auditory brains. The owl's brain performs advanced mathematical computations, including Bayesian inference, to locate the source of faint noises in three-dimensional space. This allows owls to precisely locate prey even through thick layers of snow, soil, or leaves. The article highlights the work of the late Masakazu (Mark) Konishi, who studied how owls can track and catch their prey using only sound. The asymmetrical arrangement of their ears helps owls compare sound information received from each ear and create a multidimensional map of auditory space, allowing them to "see" the world using their ears. The article also mentions a neuroscientist's discovery that space-specific neurons in an owl's auditory brain perform sophisticated mathematical computations, such as averaging and Bayesian inference, in the blink of an eye.

I think it's safe to assume that the Portuguese "pão" (bread) was pronounced much closer to "pan" around the time they made contact with Japan, and that's what stuck in Japan while the Portuguese pronunciation kept evolving. I find it strange otherwise that the Japanese word is closer in pronunciation to the Spanish "pan", or even the French "pain", than the modern day Portuguese word.
