As a Korean, it's wild to see what words that we got from the Japanese come from somewhere even further. I've always wondered some like

Jjokki - Jacket/vest

Ppang - Bread

dah-mah (I think?) - bulb/fuse

mang-toh - Coat/cloak

jjah-mong - pomelo like fruit
It's not the (whatever) source that's broken, it's the purely passive discovery process that one should be worried about.
One benefit software has over physical systems is that you can easily document it right inside the code with comments and types to make the intention clearer. This isn’t foolproof, especially in dynamic languages like Python, but helps a lot.

The analogy for the load bearing stud might be a hackathon project that never expected to see production. In reality, a lot of what we do is hack on something until it barely works, and move on to the next thing.
In authentication, we usually look for the following factors to verify the user identity `something I know, something I have, something I am.`
In passkey, theoretically, you verify all the factors at once. This user has the phone, and the biometrics said, `something I have.` The `something I know` was verified once to create a continuous of the other factors.
If you lose your phone, you need to find an alternative way to verify the other factors, which can be done by various methods that each authentication provider has.

I was in a similar boat, and I built a project called Endless Academy - https://www.endless.academy/ . It helped me both brush up on some new tools, and scratch an itch to build something.

To start, just using an LLM API (like Anthropic or OpenAI), and a light wrapper like microsoft guidance will be enough for the AI piece. If you want to get more complex, you can add in semantic search with an embedding model and a vector database. But don't do that off the bat.

For your use case, you won't need ML off the bat, either. When/if you do need ML models like classifiers, I'd use scikit-learn.

For the queries, I would skip pandas, and just use SQL. You can use an LLM to turn natural language into SQL queries, then just show the query results in an interface. The hardest part will actually be mapping the queries into the interface, and vice versa.

For my stack, I used FastAPI for the backend, and SvelteKit for the frontend. I highly recommend this stack for LLM applications - the async paradigm works well for streaming LLM outputs, and you get nice reactivity on the frontend.
Damn, Reddit really did come here.

Show HN: Mellow – Vertical spreadsheet-based ERPs
Hello HN!

I'm Tal Hoffman, a 26-year-old software engineer (you may have seen my previous post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34964197). I'm working on Mellow (https://www.playmellow.com), a vertically-integrated spreadsheet tailored for small businesses, with a primary focus on small retailers.

The challenge faced by small businesses is that they want automation but are reluctant to part with their spreadsheets, and so they're stuck between a rock and a hard place:
(1) Stick with spreadsheets and sacrifice automation (Cheap but labor-intensive, error-prone, and limited automation tools with limited vertical capabilities).
(2) Switch to a more robust system (Expensive, often inflexible, requires significant ramp-up time, and still requires complementary spreadsheets).

After engaging with numerous small retailers and agencies over the past year, I decided to take the plunge and develop a retailer-focused vertical spreadsheet web app. It currently integrates with Shopify and WooCommerce, and we have an alpha-level integration with eBay.

There's plenty of work ahead, particularly in terms of improving spreadsheet flexibility, developing templates, adding more integrations, and, most importantly, creating comprehensive documentation!

I would greatly appreciate any feedback from the HN community.

I love the download and install section's lack of assumptions that someone looking to install this specific package doesn't already have gcc/git/make avaialbe. "Hi, I'm a brand new *nix user on a fresh install of my distro, and I want to install a command to recreate the Sneakers decryption effect" says no one, ever. =)

So many packages make these kinds of assumptions. I tend to find that in those situations, the likelihood of some other salient bit of information gets left out as well. Also bonus for not being an npm install type of something.

You should be always skeptic but when someone write "Pure transparency — trust our code, not our words" in an EXTRA BIG font, you should be extra skeptic.
Personally, I think Microsoft would have the best chance at this. They've been trying forever to get Windows to fit into a smaller footprint and failed over and over (Windows 10X, S Mode...).

They've got the browser, they've got the Sync integration, they've even got some Android apps (or, well, the Amazon Appstore, but best attempt?) They've even got the Win32 support from a cloud environment (Windows 365 Cloud PC). They could just market it as "Edgebook" or "edgeOS" or "cloudOS" or "liteBook" or something similar... Just don't call it anything related to "Windows."

If they really gave it their full effort it could be interesting hardware. It would be the product of choice for IT departments to deploy in companies that use Azure AD; for employees that don't need more than a web browser, or only need a Win32 app that isn't Microsoft Office on a rare occasion. As for education, just "we're not Google" is a nice pitch in some areas.

I think one thing putting Microsoft off though is that launching a non-Windows-based desktop OS is daunting; and also, one of the dirty secrets about how Chromebooks manage to get so cheap is they use the cheapest ARM processors with ridiculous amounts of binary blobs patched in that will never go upstream, so kernel updates are almost nonexistent (thus why many Chromebooks, even the one I bought from Walmart for $110 last week, have a ~5 year end-of-life). For Microsoft, maintaining customized kernels for each device that will never see an update, for many years, and basing a device's lifespan based on that kernel is antithetical to the design of Windows. Microsoft wants to ship one Windows to everyone, with an objective End-Of-Life standard, and relatively high-quality drivers; not a device-specific Windows, with a device-specific EOL, with binary blob drivers that merely hit the level of "functional on this one weird kernel".

Were they? It says they had labels some distance down the pipe, but they weren't labeled at the point where the hoses connected where someone could actually read it.

> Every chemical can't have a different connecter.

Every chemical doesn't have to have a different connector. Maybe just ones that will cause a dangerous reaction if mixed.

> I count 5 - 7 connections, they can't all be behind a gate, so there is no hard rule.

Sure. Again, a good rule of thumb would be to separate the ones that could cause rapid death.

> They actually want a 'written' policy to stop people coming in.

So no fire code issue then.
Does it comply with US regulations for e-signatures? Otherwise, what's the point to have a signature that is not legally binding?

That is the whole point of signatures. Otherwise it is just an image editor.
In fairness, Meta has said the same thing re: WhatsApp, so while Apple deserves _some_ credit here for sticking to their principles, they're not exactly leading the pack. Which brings home the point that if _Meta_ isn't onboard with your privacy-obliterating proposal then you know you've really lost the plot...
If you are like many of the commenters on here who is using adblockers and abstains from social networks, this is precisely why you see shitty ads.

Also if you aren't buying anything by clicking them, advertisers are ignoring you because you aren't a valuable user to them.

You are most likely reaping what you sew. Which shows that the ad networks are actually working.

No it's not really hyperbolic. I wrote why the US is so committed to the region in my post above.

I'd also say characterizing things as "the US having a wall of ships on China's east coast" is itself a bit hyperbolic itself and taken without context quite meaningless.

One might wonder, well why does the US have aircraft carriers in the region?

Maybe it has something to do with things like China's continued threats of taking over Taiwan, or North Korea's launching of ICBMs into the Sea of Japan?

A related tool would be a cross-platform product the company I work for creates: i-net PDFC https://www.inetsoftware.de/products/pdf-content-comparer

PDFC compares not only graphical differences but also detects content, columns, etc. We originally created it for ourselves because we weren't happy with any of the PDF comparison tools that were out there.
It sounds like you believe in “overnight success” which only exists via lottery tickets (with similar odds).

I spent 10 years of weekend and evenings before my product sales could support me comfortably full time. That was a single project.

When you’re small/starting out, your only competitive advantage is persistence and patience.

If you somehow MUST be the next tech billionaire, move to Silicon Valley and try there. Or buy lottery tickets.

> They start writing tests because the teacher said they had to.

Wait what, where the fuck did this teacher just pop out from? I thought Bob and Alice wanted to work together on this as a learning opportunity?

Anyway they picked a dumb project. Next time just make it a CLI. Their fault here was thinking "I want to learn X, so I'll build a whole fucking SaaS where the tiniest possible component of that SaaS is X".

Anyway I'll admit that I didn't read beyond that.

Doesn't this fly in the face of most advice on hacker type forums which is if you want to learn something go build something that uses it?

Have the legal position of any other scotus-affirmed rights changed recently that would have people on their toes, do you think, maybe?

I've seen first hand police use the justification of stopping filming them to use violence on and arrest people filming them. For however long it takes to get this in front of the supreme court, assuming they choose to hear it, assuming they choose to endorse our rights, it will be used that way. They don't let you out of prison when the law used to justify your arrest is affirmed unconstitutional. It doesn't put your teeth back in your head or undo the TBI you got during the arrest.

The article's objective seems to be to prevent the spread of these laws. The spread of these laws is something you should be angry about, and understanding and applying that to the goal is not malicious.
I'd say it's more than wage. It's more about outsourcing manufacturing and other labors to Non US countries.

It's wage + education + a shift in mindset, which basically means you have to put a lot of elites into prison to achieve that.

You are going to touch the cake of a whole generation of aristocrats.
There's 2 pretty reasonable reasons for this:

1. MDN's quality is higher, and it's more comprehensive when it comes to new browser specifications, but it's much less comprehensive in general technology/programming topics (e.g. W3Schools covers PHP which many working with e.g. Wordpress will dabble in alongside their HTML/CSS/JS).

2. Tenure. MDN's is much much more recent - W3Schools has been around forever.

W3Schools is a somewhat dodgy website with questionable quality, but it's hard to argue they've had a net-negative impact on educating programmers. I certainly learned a large chunk of my knowledge from W3Schools in the days before MDN docs existed in their current form.

> How does Erlang serialize messages? It doesn't because it messages itself, so the message format is native to itself.

I don't get the difference you're drawing... the in-memory and on-the-wire representation of terms are different, so there's still serialization involved (term_to_binary/1). The format is documented and there are libraries for other languages.
Oh hai, I see you are building a bike shed. You might consider a curl call over to OpenAI for all the method/apparatus/etc patent-talk.
Their decision is schizophrenic: the JPEG XL format is a combination of two technologies: PIK (developed by Google) and FLIF (developed by Cloudinary) - one of them developed by Google. It is entirely sensible for them to reverse their decision, which came before Safari announced the format would be supported.

Adobe is already supporting the format, and many image editors / browsers are including it.

Finally, adding a WASM polyfil to your website would still yield many benefits, enough to outweigh not-100%-yet-support-by-browsers.

> That argument is much harder to assert with something like DocuSign because it is unlikely DocuSign would put their business on the line to fake someone's signature.

This seems like the claim that the USG will be unlikely to put it's Military on the line so they won't leak any tank designs on discord.

Happy to concede that the CEO of DocuSign wouldn't do this but surely some 15$/h employee doesn't have that same opinion.
Citation needed. Absence of a legal marriage does not preclude co-habitation and co-parenting. Especially for parents who may be doing something for the benefit of the children. Furthermore, if you created incentives to marry, you'd just be inundated with fake marriages done for financial benefit (a la citizenship marriages). Go google the phrase "medical divorce" as another data point. If you are worried the system is being gamed, adding more rules and loopholes is unlikely to solve anything. And you have to ask what outcome your are trying to incentive. This thread started talking about educational outcomes for kids. Marriage is not a particular useful end unto itself. I'd posit that just adopting universal healthcare would increase the marriage rate and do so by improving outcomes.

>infer that the model which has seen all of the data will be better than the model which has seen only some of the data.

It really depends upon the data. A smaller set of data that mostly consists of "truth" might be better than a larger dataset that also has many "lies".

Perhaps what you mean is that the model might be more representative, rather than _better_.
And then .DS_Store in MacOS was basically a bug, too. A lack of understanding coupled with a lack of design.
Here is one of many articles covering RFK's antivaccine conspiracy stance: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-robert-f-kenn...

I use that phrase because it is an accurate descriptor. He has literally published articles claiming a grand conspiracy to poison Americans, rejecting all data from repeated vaccine trials and studies by the international scientific community.

Vaccine trials use the real vaccine that would go to consumers, all of it. There is robust study of the whole package, not just the component that interacts with the immune system.

RFK is a bogus baseless conspiracy theorist, regardless of his current PR campaign.
I think Meta _needs_ WhatsApp to be their loss-leader (not really, but you know) when it comes to security. They always get to say "oh but WhatsApp is E2E!! We do care about security!"

When will VC companies stop conflating source available with open source? It's even worse than just being closed source as it's trying to pander to a group for money, and without any respect to the actual values of what they are saying.
If there were significant harms then they would arise is the rigorous trials done before a vaccine is released. This isn’t exactly an unstudied area and his extraordinary claims have no scientifically reviewed evidence. He’s just a guy saying things.

(co-founder of anytype) our main promises are privacy, end-to-end encryption, user controlled keys, self-hosting, p2p sync - all of which should add up to what we can user autonomy from the software provider which we believe to be important.
To prove these claims the best way is open the source code. As promises of encryption and ownership stay promises unless you can be sure of it. That was one main motivation and why we think it's worth highlighting.
