Show HN: GP-HIIT: A simple, straightforward HIIT training app
During my summer holidays, a visit to the pharmacy and stepping up on the scale, prompted me to do something concrete to keep my health (specifically, my weight) in check.

As per my brother recommendation, I subscribed to https://www.freeletics.com/en/ and I can't recommend it enough.

However, as a small excuse to learn a bit of Angular and meshing it with some LLM prompt engineering, I made a very basic, straightforward HIIT app that anyone can use.

You can choose from three difficulty levels for your workouts which include a warm-up, a main workout session and a cooldown.

I've also added some possible meal plans/pairing of nutritional meals that are typically combined with working out to watch out for your weight.

This is _much_ simpler than the Freelectics workouts, it's not as personally tailored, but, it's free and it's for something that can potentially help people get in shape, so, I've decided to share it here. Feedback is welcome. :)
You're better off doing a private bug bounty through bug crowd or hackerone.

Pentests are point in time assessments. Usually with one to two testers, with limited scopes of expertise.

Bug bounties can bring in hundreds of testers with a wide breadth of expertise that continuously test.

> IPv4 has a fixed header size (period)

Unless I'm mistaken, I would not say it's fixed due to the rarely used IP options field that varies depending on the IHL field. It has a variable size within a range. There might be a way to get "jumbo addresses" but it would have to be terribly hacked onto the design of the header as it is, which is one reason for IPv6's existence.

Well, for starters Ontario’s provincial government (the Progressive Conservatives led by Doug Ford) just handed an estimated $8b in “free” value to developers that owned previously-non-developable protected land on Ontario’s Greenbelt. Conveniently, those developers themselves had direct influence over which parcels would be unlocked. Additionally, some of those same developers made personal appearances at a cash fundraising event for the Premier’s daughter’s wedding.

> The political staffer took the instructions from two developers in envelopes handed to him at a September, 2022 dinner hosted by BILD, the principal lobby group for the residential building industry.

This is not conjecture, but rather the determination of a newly released report from the province’s auditor general.[1]

This is also the same province that leased a major highway, the 150km-long 407, to a private corporation for 99 years for just $3b in 1999 (in a deal facilitated again by the Progressive Conservatives). It is estimated this highway is worth over $30 billion dollars today.[2]

Now, the Stellaris and Volkswagen deals are a federal/provincial partnership, but my goal here was to highlight that Ontario has a history of self-owns.

What do you mean by "many" black holes being "expected"? What's "many"?

You have to be specific, and to do that you model, and then validate through observation. The article states that more black holes are being observed than the models predict, which is their definition of "many".

They're a doublet, like "cease and desist." Separating the two makes about as much sense as paying someone an extra fee to "handle" the goods from the warehouse to the supermarket shelf.
Manager types want to manage other people. Manager types basically run the world. They don’t want to manage robots, they want to manage over people. The manager types will find ways to manage over people no matter what. It’s hardwired. Humans will always employ other humans because of this. Some people have told me they like to go out to eat primarily because they like to be waited on by human waitstaff. These people who need to have power over others are the people in charge; politicians, managers, rulers. For this reason it’s likely that ai will not replace human labor, merely reduce the cost and quality of life for workers.
I don't fully share GP's views, but this took me by surprise.

> > by the time you retire you will be dementia ridden

> Why?

Retirement age is usually set as the age where most people stop being useful to society as active workers. You'll see the argument in abundance in debates on raising the retirement age.

You personally might avoid dementia, and you might actually enjoy your retirement time a lot if you had a fortunate life, but by definition most people won't be in the same boat.
at this point I think your best bet is security through obscurity. with the state of generally available AI tools and processing power, is there any general format can't be solved?

surely the best option nowadays is to make your own or find an obscure one, and hope it's unusual enough that ready-made software doesn't exist that can easily solve it. then if and when it gets cracked to the degree it's impacting your content, move onto another one
“React is antiquated…”
“If you’re looking for a modern framework…”

I’ve also been hearing the same critique against Go basically since it came out. Meanwhile, the companies I’ve worked at continue to ship with these antiquated technologies and I’ve never once felt that those language or framework choices measurable slowed things down or otherwise hurt the team. Other factors (poor requirements, bad system design, bad management decisions) dominate the causes there. I’ve come around to the lackadaisical option that so long as the tech is compatible with the platform you target, and you can hire people to use it, it doesn’t much matter what is picked.
Probably noise.

As an apartment-dwelling European, maybe GP's point about density is based on the fact that having neighbors sucks big time. Sure, you can build apartment buildings that are well insulated, but most stock in my neck of the woods isn't built that way. You can hear your neighbor taking a piss at night. Of course, this doesn't help people making the median salary in the city actually afford those places.

So, given my environment, if I want peace and quiet without having to try out living in multiple apartments until I can find the rare one built with care, it's much easier to just go live in a detached house in the suburbs.

Also, despite dense public transport and "walkability", the traffic is still ridiculous so pollution is very high, too.
Hi,

Looks quite clean, congrats.

Two questions:
1. Starting from this, what would be the proper way to create embeddings for a complete document (i.e. a long paragraph)? My goal is to directly compare two PDFs according to their contents. It seems that `compute_similarity_between_strings` could be used, but then why is `get_all_embedding_vectors_for_document` useful for?
2. Using your API, does the inference run directly on the VPS? Does it need special kind of hardware (GPU, TPU or whatever)?

Sorry if my questions are dumb, but I really appreciate your project simplicity, and I want to know if it could suit my needs.

Thanks for sharing this piece of work.

Yeah, I imagine it would involve a lawsuit, so not trivial if the politician is willing to fight.

Though I'm not sure if most of the straw donors are 3rd parties, since the ones I knew about were officers of the company.

Either way, I feel that the moral action is clear, but some politicians want to still use the ill-gotten gains for their political purposes while claiming to act morally. An act which is unfortunately fooling some people.
Honestly, I had no idea that "monkey-patching" was a term, I thought it was something Op just made up :-).

I have just looked it up, and it indeed is a term [meaning something](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_patch). Even meta-magic seem to be a term, but less defined seems like.

I don't think we need AST for monkey-patching, but it can be argued that each program can be converted to an AST. Anyway, less important.

The "monkey-patching" seem to basically mean anything that changes the runtime somehow. The example in Python on Wikipedia article just changes the value of a global variable. In Lisp we have many, many tools which can change code at runtime, I would even argue that Lisp is all about flexibility and "monkey-patching" since we already write AST and have the entire symbol table and the compiler available to us at runtime. Functions are just objects like any others and we can install any object in the function slot of an symbol, we can wrap it in our own function and install that one, everything is a list and dynamic in some way, so we can add slots to classes and structs if we want etc.

For meta-magic I found [this one article](https://betterprogramming.pub/the-magic-of-metaprogramming-7...) and [this one](https://codeburst.io/laziness-i-meta-programming-34ef4abdafc...) that seems to use the term in a sense as what we normally do with macros in Lisp or with templates in C++. The other one is a bit lengthy and I really didn't have patience nor time to read it in full length, I have just skimmed through it.

As I conclude, the terms mean what I meant, but with code generation, I mean not just classical generate some code to a file from another file; I mean transform the code in some way, during either the runtime or compile time.

You make interesting assumption that centralization is more efficient then decentralisation but if that was the case then soviet style economy should be more efficient than capitalist market. In capitalism you effectively have a bunch of corporations with internal command economy that trade with each other. In Anarchism hypothetical companies are much smaller so you don't have in efficiencies stemming from these long chains of command with a lot of beaurocracy. Anarchism didn't have opportunity to create bigger project because the tendency is violently repressed by rulers of the current world. It actually eliminates the lot of losses of efficency of current society like economic rents which are proved to be negative to economy, just currently capitalism has relatively extremely strong violence potential and great propaganda machine. This obviously makes Anarchism a very hard and ambitious project but to me its clear that it would be more efficient in creating societies with higher standard of living than what we have currently.
Please consider that it can both have markets and currencies AND decentralised planning depending on what is better in specific situation.
Add this to your list of behaviours to check for in founders when joining your next startup and leave as soon as it makes financial sense to do so.

Your CEO’s primary job is to steer the ship and inspire employees.

They’re exhibiting personality traits that aren’t fixable in most people that I’ve seen this in over my career. They likely will never change and almost certainly not in the middle of this startup experience.

Yes you invested time in building this idea, and you can take everything you learned and your experience on with you in your career. If you vested some equity or wait till you do so then you can also benefit from it’s success. But from what you describe this CEO is likely one of the 90% of startups that fail so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Good luck, on to the next.
How to Disable IPv6 on Android
NOTE: I don't use CactusVPN nor do I know anyone who works there. I liked the simple clean look of the page and the clear instructions on how to disable IPv6.

Sadly, I tried disabling IPv6 about 2 or 3 years ago and while mostly things worked fine, there were glitches, I can't remember the specific failures but I've been thinking about trying it again.
His prospects of achieving even a fraction of his prior earnings in the future are exceedingly slim. Even under the assumption that he manages to avoid conviction on all counts, he will unquestionably be prohibited from assuming any director or officer role within a company ever again.

Should you hold the view that politicians are entirely self-serving and akin to human cockroaches, there's minimal justification for endorsing him or expending even an iota of political capital on him moving forward. Conversely, there's ample incentive to distance oneself from him at present while fervently attempting to retain possession of the funds he has already contributed.

Formerly an asset, he has now transformed into nothing more than a liability that can be side-stepped by just feigning ignorance and maintaining distance.
I can’t speak to the rest of the things some of you are talking about, but I can speak to this.

It really sucks realizing you’re at a 90% company instead of a 10% company. Statistically speaking you’ve not only worked for one of those, but you’ve worked for two or more in a row. Pain is information and sooner or later everyone tries to act on it. There may be nothing that can be done. Or maybe there’s another undiscovered strategy out there to make a YC for the 90%. Or even just the 25% would be huge news. People are going to search high and low for a way out. And some will continue even if someone proves mathematically that it’s impossible.

(You haven’t lived if someone hasn’t asked you to solve an uncomputsble problem, or offered to let you solve one NP-complete problem in lieu of an easier NP-complete problem).

The USA already modified their city design. The cities were much denser before cars were invented. Lots of stuff was bulldozed and converted to parking lots.

In many European cities you can see single family homes next to apartment buildings, offices and shopping malls and it works just fine.

I'm glad that we don't have the same zoning nonsense as in the USA.
A way to integrate digital conversations a la mind mapping[0] or a Zettelkasten[1] - allowing for branching, parallel conversations (that could be remerged later (eg like git's development branch concepts)), private conversations (which might be ephemeral (disappearing after X period of time (like Snapchat, Signal, Telegram, etc offer - or like unlogged IM clients, irc, etc)) chats)

Bring all your social media, messaging apps, and email into a single app

If you want to add someone to a conversation they were not previously in, you could have a set of approvals that need to be granted by X-many members of the chat group to allow/disallow certain content items to be visible

Being able to easily search across all those communication mediums would be a godsend - can't remember if you sent something to Bob via Messenger, Signal, or email? Open this tool, and they are all in one place

tl;dr managers are saying "If only I'd have had data showing that working from home was fine, I could've ignored it and ordered my employees back."
Ah, fair enough! Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Even in the case where you're getting some kind of behavior or reputation verdict from past behavior (and possibly across multiple surfaces), you probably want a progressive set of outcomes rather than just a binary allow or deny. Even if some requests are clearly best just blocked and others should obviously be allowed, there's always going to be a grey area where you're not sure. You need something to do with those requests. Making an arbitrary choice is one option, but pretty harsh on the legit users. A captcha in another.

Sometimes you have options for that gray area that are much better than captchas that you can do, e.g. request a phone number and do an SMS challenge. But that's both expensive and will lead to a massive dropoff for most sites as people won't be willing to give out their phone number to every site.

(Also, the act of solving the puzzle can give you additional signals of whether the request is from a bot or not. Signal collection is kind of the entire point of the slider captchas in the first place.)

There's a decent sized gap in this history, between transparencies or foils on top of an overhead projector and the modern era where laptops were connected to long-throw video projectors.

This middle period was filled by the creation of LCD panels that fit on top of an overhead projector and acted as a rudimentary video projector. The earliest ones were black and white and CGA only. I recall my dad using the early version of MS Paint to make images that he'd throw up on the screen with an Eastman Kodak LCD unit. Here's an example made by 3M:

Later on, IBM actually had a specific model of ThinkPad, the 755CDV, that had a detachable backlight panel on the display. You would strap the entire laptop to an overhead projector to do your presentation.

If there were no regulation at all, equilibriums would still exist. Yes, it might be melee than now, or could be less, but at the end of the day we are looking at scarce land and other resources, so there has to be some carry capacity for the land. It’s the same reason why San Francisco loses population sometime: it has too many people for the resources it provides, and costs rise, forcing people (or perhaps just encouraging them) to leave.

Yes, you can change the rules to get more people into a place, but you are just looking at a different equilibrium number to be reached. And then people like you will complain it is still too low, and nothing really changes.

Germany is just an example, the sentiments are common to many European countries pre-WWII.

The statement that "the rest of the people wanted absolutely nothing to do with it" is true in that most European countries never had majority support for revolutionary socialism. But in many countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) it was a substantial block, in many places on par with support for more moderate socialists/social democrats.

Revolutionary socialism is a highly fringe political viewpoint today, but it was much more popular in the inter-war years. It took a long time for people to learn of (and start to believe!) the atrocities that occurred in the revolution in Russia.
A little off topic but funny enough to mention. Here in France, Skyblog.com is closing its doors in the next days. It was a blog platform ran by the #1 hiphop radio. It's not related to hip hop at all, even the radio only play crappy mainstream rap since 30 years ago, but back in the days, it was an easy way for a lot of teens to have a voice on the Internet. It wasn't deep at all, often really dumb, and it was mocked even in 2000, but 20 years after remains the symbol of an era and there's still some nice joys that came out of it. It was worth archiving for all those reasons and we are glad INA (National Audiovisual Institute) saved all the content.
