An AI mindmap. It would also act like an AI trainer at the same time, because people would follow the paths that lead them to the answers and detail they were looking for. But at the same time, what you get on your screen when you give your prompt is based on what paths it calculates you might want to follow, based on other people who follow similar or crossing paths.

I think this tool would grow the technology quite quickly.

There is a non-AI site out there that does this with music genres, to introduce people to songs within their tastes, using how other people have connected them to these other songs. I'm thinking of it as an AI reward system that way.

In some ways, it's a very democratic model, because it grows by either consensus, or commonalities where consensus can be another choice or option on the mindmap.
> Not true. The period of greatest scientific advancement in human history ( mid-19th to the mid-20th century ) had no lingua franca. Actually, the end of french as a 'lingua franca' in europe in the first half of 1800s can partly be credited with the burgeoning of science ( and other academic fields ) in britain, germany, russia, etc. Just like the ending of latin as 'lingua franca' (beginning of the 'vulgar' period ) led to the burgeoning of religion, philosophy, literature, etc throughout europe.

Huh?!? That's totally false.

The lingua franca changed from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century. Depending on the field of science it was either French or German and transitioned to English.

For physics it was German moving into English over that 100 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_important_publications...

In math French was a bit more of a player. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_important_publications... Hilbert for example published in German until the ascendancy of English. Turing's famous work is in German.

No one serious was publishing in Russian, Italian, etc. There was a clear lingua franca.
Another good reason to avoid that platform like the plague.

It's really disappointing that they made this forum thread private, apparently in response to this HN thread blowing up. This is the first negative HN thread I've seen about them, it's not even really that bad because this kind of downtime is expected, and they can't get to every forum post, and their response that someone posted here is totally reasonable in my opinion.

So why is the link to the thread 404ing and why does this post have to link to google webcache of it? I've grown to like fly.io and use them for my side projects now, and this just isn't sometime they would do. Going through some minor cognitive dissonance right now :/
Yes, a great profile.

I recognised many patterns described by Rick Rubin in his book The Creative Act: A Way Of Being. There are Seeds, often lying dormant, Experimentation, selective exposure to others, change of context, and even the precise Impro prompt "Yes, and..."

I highly recommend TCA, and not just for artists. The clue is in the subtitle. Change his term "the work" to become "your life" and you have a good recipe for a rich mindful journey through the world.

I really don't understand this American attitude where everything someone does always has to be a revelation like never seen before. Oppenheimer was clearly an extremely capable physicist, and to portray him as "no Einstein" is just lazy, dishonest, and plainly ignorant.

There was a similar thread were people were talking about Alan Turings running times, and concluding that they are worthless compared to modern-day Olympic athletes. I mean, if that's really the thing you want to point out about Alan Turing, to me that just demonstrates that you have some issues.
I recommend Midnight Lizard as a backup for difficult sites. It's a little heavier/slower, but sometimes works on pages where Dark Reader doesn't. You can configure Midnight Lizard not to apply to all sites by default, then selectively turn it on where Dark Reader fails.

The thing is, running a good SaaS service requires quite a bit of staff and hard operational skills and a lot of manpower. You know, the kinda stuff people always call useless, zero-value add, blockers and entirely to automate.

Sure, we have most of the day-to-day grunt work for our applications automated. But good operations is just more. It's more about maintaining control over your infrastructure at one hand, and making sure your customers feel informed and safe about their data and systems. This is hard and takes lots of experience to do well, as well as manpower.

And yes, that's entirely a soft skill. You end up with questions such as: Should we elevate this issue to an outage on the status page? To a degree you'd be scaring other customers. "Oh no, yellow status page. Something terrible must happen!". At the same time you're communicating to the affected customers just how serious you're taking their issues. "It's a thing on the status page after an initial misjudgement - sorry for that." We have many discussions ilke that during degradations and outages.

In this case, the digitized font is taken not from the metal types themselves, but from specimens printed on paper. The paper was less uniform and smooth than modern paper, and there was a noticable amount of ink bleed. Since OP is interested in the "character" given to the letterforms by this era of printing technology, it makes sense to suggest some way of simulating this uneven bleed and spread.
Same is happening here in Finland now in full force. It’s scary and fascinating to watch, I hope it gets studied a bit deeper so we know what makes people act like that.
Contrary to the sibling comment I think it’s the salt. There was also the guy who ate the ramen in styrofoam bowl for years and had a lump of styrofoam in his stomach.

Personally I just buy dry ramen noodles and make my own sauce or use curry, give a bit more control over salt etc

Home automation stuff particularly seems... problematic for the current market.

Houses and stuff installed in them regularly out-live these product lines, and many of them are proprietary and only work with their brand, possibly that one product line. If you're willing to consider them disposable and are alright with that, that might be reasonable and they do some neat stuff, but they're certainly not systems that last :\
B2 used to only have its own slightly different B2 API, but now has compact with the s3 api.

Weird, I visualised those properties they listed, and more. color of jacket (only visualised top-half), color of glove (glove was not a requirement, but I visualised that for some reason), gender of person, length of hair, hair color, indoors, poor lighting, position of light source, quite a lot in the time it took to read to the next sentence.
I do not believe that anyone can argue that 4-space indented code is not easier to read than 2-space indented code, when that is the only difference in formatting between them.

On the other hand, when the style rules also impose a very short maximum code line length, e.g. of 80 characters, then I agree that in such cases 2-space indenting is a superior choice, because the slight decrease in readability is compensated by a greater increase in readability due to a much less frequent need to break long lines.

When I write for myself, I prefer 4-space indenting, but together with a greater maximum line length.
What are the other good reasons? All my experiences with Discourse have been great.

My thinking was the same for years, but then I learned about Home Assistant. It's a wonderful open source package that integrates with everything. And there's a lot of options for local wired or wireless transports that keeps smart home usable without third party servers or even an internet connection.

In my setup I have some Wi-Fi connected outlets running Tasmota and some light bulbs and thermostats on Zigbee.
No, because GPT-4 has finite memory, its context length, and its random number generator for output selection is probably pseudo-random with finite memory.

If the random number generator is pseudo-random, this makes GPT-4 a deterministic finite-state machine, and the output sequence does not necessarily contain all possible subsequences no matter how many times the monkey types a new random key. Put differently, some output subsequences may be inaccessible no matter which keys are input. Same if the random number generator is truly random but its value cannot select among all possible output tokens, only a subset provided by the GPT at each step.
The first post of the linked forum thread says he was locked out of all his devices after a delivery driver misheard his automated doorbell response as saying something "inappropriate" and reported it to Amazon, who suspended his account for a week.

How far do I need to read into the thread to find the alternate story you're describing?
Alexa, Siri, and Google are mostly just voice assistant front ends. I use Lutron for shades and lights, and have connected all front ends to them. Alexa is pretty much useless so I’m not sure about it’s reliability (well, I can turn off my Samsung TV), Siri works well but often has unexplained outages where it just doesn’t work for days at a time, and Google is pretty reliable as well as useful (and also drives my nest/google security cameras).

I also have specific apps on my phone (eg Lutron, Yale, Samsung) that bypass voice assistant front ends. But the reason I use voice assistants at all is that I can control all my shades at once to raise and lower them (as well as turn all the living room lights on), basically bulk convenience.
Yes, India is all about Maggi noodles. I will never forget being at the top of the Khardung La pass, at the time believed to be the world’s highest motorable pass at 5396m, and seeing a large information board in honour of Julius Michael Johannes Maggi, a Swiss food scientist who developed instant soups in the late 1800’s. Maggi instant noodles are at every roadside stall in the Indian Himalayas.

None of the intrinsic aspects of crypto matter if its in a centralized exchange. In the cases of a centralized exchange BTC may as well equal fiat, for it has all of the downsides of fiat alongside the risk of an exit scam/mass theft, and with none of the insurances one may have with a fiat institution.

So, unfortunately, for these “crypto” maximalists, the crypto aspect of their digital currency is just some fun trivia and not something they even bother to leverage.
There's a lot of technology product that should never have been produced. Try watching a video on YouTube reviewing random crap from Wish. You'd be in awe of the amount of absolute garbage that's produced. Most of it doesn't even work, so why bother making it and just jump to straight up robbing people.

Much of the current IOT and smart home products are only slight better. Much of it will be useless once the manufacturer decides that they don't actually want to support a 10 year old device. Maybe they are bought out, go bankrupt, change business or the stockholders demand higher returns and they bump your subscription 10x.

It somewhat impressive that we've managed to build business that are completely blind to the fact that a five year update cycle actually isn't that impressive, or that killing of services and products will generate excessive amounts of waste. It probably to complex to regulate correctly, but really it should be a rules that you place documentation and perhaps code in escrow when you release an IOT device, once you no longer wish to support that device, the code and documentation should be released.

I'm torn between this being fraudulent and being totally fair if his employers have no clue.

I guess I'm old school? I built my reputation, network and career based on doing actual work and getting shit done. And that happens to be the harder but more lucrative, guilt-free and rewarding path than this.

Personally, as someone who employs people, I don't like it because I don't feel mid to senior people should have to be babysat and have someone watching their every move to ensure they are actually working. Find shit to do and add value, ask your team if they need help. Certainly he can add value for more than just the shit that is directly assigned to him.

It's a really bad look, especially for IT which got ravaged by the cloud over the years.

That being said, it's a strong financial move for him at 48 yrs old for his family. If I was in that career spot and financial position as him at that age, I may consider it too.

Thanks for your feedback!

Let me clarify a few things. It may seem counterintuitive, but we don't need your credit card information to process a payment. You'll be redirected to your bank's app to complete the payment, which is more secure than simply inputting your credit card details. This might seem counterintuitive at first because anyone with your card details could make a payment. However, with 'pay by bank,' you'll be asked to authenticate the transaction using FaceID or whatever method you use with your banking app.

From the merchant's perspective, statistically, you're more protected from credit risk because an ACH transfer is more likely to go through than a card payment.

As for market positioning, we ideally want to partner with businesses that operate in a B2B model. We only facilitate payments from end users to merchants - it's a one-way flow. But to be honest, we're still figuring it out!

That category was added after one of our support folks replied, likely for tracking. I don't know why it's private. They may not even know this category is private. Hiding negative shit wasn't a deliberate decision... we're aware of google cache and we don't need to give HN another reason to dunk on us.
The article is only presenting that:

2. nano/microplastics come from microwaving containers

Regardless of whether you agree with the conclusion _you_ are drawing from reading the article, the article is saying those things.

> Yet when I asked her about Ukraine, she repeated all the standard Russian government propaganda about an alleged NATO threat and stated that she was "neutral" on whether Russia should invade Ukraine.

For a recent emigre from a regime like Russia or Cuba, the mindset often is "things are real bad in the homeland in matters that I can see with my own eyes, but on what I can not see, I tend to believe the official narrative, because it's the only one I had access to." It can take years for a person to do all the necessary reading and research to adjust their worldview.

"Hell, T-Mobile just started requiring you not use a credit card to get their $5/mo autopay discount."

Yes. Visited a T-Mobile store to set that up. Brought in a voided check. Said "Set up an ACH transfer, please." "What's an ACH transfer?" Took about half an hour, two rejects from the T-Mobile payment system with both me and the clerk checking the numbers, and a conversation with Bank of America customer support ("We didn't reject that, we won't see it until the daily batch.") Too many people are going to be paying T-Mobile a $60/year "convenience fee".

(Worse, BofA is apparently still charging for outgoing ACH transfers. And they're not on FedNow.)
