I got an email about this last week:

> In exactly one week on August 15th at 10:59am PT, we will be revealing our 100x programming platform. Because our platform is so big in scope and its capabilities sound so unbelievable, we will also be releasing something else that proves what it can do.

> This platform is the biggest paradigm shift in software engineering in at least 30 years. You can expect lots of blog posts from us moving forward exploring the platform, how to make use of it, and how it's implemented.

Been only a couple minutes since then. I hope we'll hear something soon.

EDIT: timezones are hard. :facepalm:
The safety problems of C/C++ come from the old features, such as null-terminated strings, arrays without size information, and pointer arithmetic. Until there is a will to kill those off, there will not be much forward progress in safety.
The distinction isn't as clear as the headline suggests. Willpower itself is also biologic, in many senses. Including the sense that it has a large genetic component contributing to it. [1]

The proper way to legitimize a vice is with heavy regulation. Half the screen should be a scrolling red banner stating that you could ruin your life with gambling. Random chance games should show the result a split second after the decision, with zero fanfare (to avoid fake near misses).

Same goes for smoking and drinking. Provide the product in a plain container plastered with warning labels.
The basic idea to optimize the algorithm (which I got from this [1] SO answer) is to recognize that you only ever update the numerator and denominator of either bound in a linear fashion. So rather than potentially repeatedly update a given bound, you alternate between the two, and use algebra to determine the multiple by which the bound should be updated.

Regarding the intersection of fractions and music, "just intonation" is the term you want to research.

Hard to imagine a submission fitting HN guidelines coming from there.
Cause spammers would buy a new domain and do the same thing again, as opposed to plausible denyability.
Agreed. And the more experience I get the more I realize the root of this problem is non-technical leadership surrounding themselves with yes-men. I have had so many non-technical leaders fail to understand the true technical complexities of whatever new feature they’re asking for. To many it’s just a few figma slides, how hard could that be to code up?

Just absolute failure to comprehend what they’re asking.
In my experience, increasing cost or delay even a little bit cuts out a disproportionate amount of bad stuff.

I once had the domain 'moronsinahurry' registered, though not with this group in mind...
I’d love to see some examples of how the token-in-context embeddings stack up against sentence-level. What new use-cases are unlocked?

Perhaps semantic search with word-highlighting?

Any advantage to using the full context window to maximize context around the embedded token?
Bro you seem personally attacked. Do you feel personally attacked by an open discussion of the realities of race and racism in the 20th century?

Not over the long run. The house always wins.
Imagine if we had "food insurance". Your grocery store is "in network", but the butcher sends you a bill because he is out-of-network. No prices on anything, because your insurance carrier has "negotiated" a price for you, which you only find out after the fact.
You can get the same experience (but across all apps) using Adguard, which acts as a fake VPN and MITM certificate. No more ads in any app, while still keeping your Chrome synced tabs and logins and such between devices.
Yes, good point. I am making more videos with it. The issue is, I need to meet the factory MOQ since I'm custom making this and the molding costs are quite high. The other pee bottles on the market are cheap and ugly. PeeSport will be the only one that actually looks good and is high quality.

Exactly, the carabiner lets you attach it to your backpack.
Thanks for sharing! I disagree with them saying most people have viewed fanatics taking over as a positive thing... On r/baseballcards Fanatics is not trusted or viewed well.

We do like a few of the changes they're making such as selling more stuff online so the average person can buy on release day rather than having to pay double to scalpers. But overall, fanatics is not viewed positively by anyone I know. Especially those who have been unfortunate enough to buy their sports merch as it's not done well.
they can do that without the list. as soon as you see your post doesn't get traction, make a new domain, or have multiple in the first place.

Do you have get-out-of-jail or N-strikes-and-you're-out policies? What if someone's legitimate website gets caught in this?
I've also long wondered about user specific shadow bans. Can you please shed light on this?
code is such a weird thing. Its business logic, its infrastructure, its short stories, its documentation. I also think of it like investments and debts

its so many things and so complicated.

Yes, it produces the same values for set compare: https://www.featurebase.com/blog/tanimoto-similarity-in-feat...
And we are all better off for it.

I don’t know how many times I have to beat this drum but good communities that people want to spend time in are heavily moderated.

Free speech bros (who don’t actually really believe in it) have yet to create an attractive platform that doesn’t have moderation.

Moderation is key and what some people consider “heavy handed moderation” makes for a nice place to hang out. Without it HN would languish as people with interesting things to add are driven off by the people who think they have a right to say whatever they want anywhere they want to say it.

Ah, you're a tricky client! The article has a graph of sunspot numbers, not irradiance! So nothing contradicts anything, but that's not really important!

We also have graphs of sun activity vs temperature!

But wait! There's more!

Here is a graph of sunspot numbers since 1880:

https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/couldnt-sun...

It doesn't feature the global temperature, so it's not perfect, we're sorry! We're very sorry! But it's clearly constant and doesn't exhibit the hockey stick shape of global temperature.

While true, the complexity of each organelle in the brain is still much higher than that of the typical organ elsewhere in the body. That and there is a high degree of connectivity and feedback between components where the API is completely and totally undocumented. It's not that you don't know what the known API calls do, you don't have any clue on how many API calls there even are. Accidently emulating one of these calls when attempting to trigger a different behavior can lead to wildly unexpected outcomes.
I think the concern is that LLMs approximate that enough for decision makers to replace jobs. What critics see is a world where consumers and lower skilled workers get shafted in order for... what exactly?

Humans aren't horses, because horses don't participate in the wider economy, but it seems increasingly swaths of people are being laid to pasture, so to speak, effectively becoming horses.
All paywalled sites should be added to this.
I think it's a good thing that gambling has been legalized and brought out the shadows.

From time to time, I try to look up the impact of the newly legalized gambling in the US. I can never find any good comparison about addiction, people who got into trouble because gambling is so easy now, etc. I still know people who put in bets with "their guy", and I also know people who were otherwise OK who now all of a sudden have an addiction because gambling is basically frictionless. Overall, it's a big question mark for me as to if this is a good thing or not.

A sibling commenter mentioned smoking ads. Even with cigarettes, you had to physically go to a store and physically pull out your payment method to buy them. With new online gambling, gambling is as frictionless as posting a tweet for anyone of age. Advertising is a big part of this yes, and like you allude to, the types of impulsive bets that are presented is even more ridiculous.
Does this have something to do with the article? It reads like a random "mining is racist" rant which has set off some fighting.
If you have a name, go to the post office and tell them your story. They may help you, especially if the name is also a PO Box user, as it is a violation of postal law to open misdelivered mail, let alone cash a check fraudulently.

They may also be inclined to help you to help dodge responsibility for misdirected mail.
Not really. I also keep showdead on. The only quality comments there are occasional glimmers of brilliance from single-issue ranters who are otherwise excruciatingly tiresome in their monotonous pursuits.

That is really surprising... only 67k?

We usually ban 800k domains and 220k IPs on average, just to keep a small site tolerable. =)
Medical Billing is ripe for disruption, but of note, I don't know of any startup that has made significant inroads into this market. Anyone know why its so tough to break?
Or imagine you had Car Insurance butting in everything including an Oil change and dictating which shop you can use for the oil change. I bet it won't be a $20-$30 oil change anymore and your premiums will be much higher than it already is.

Btw, don't give the Food industry these ideas :). It would suck if we now have "Food Insurance"

Indirectly, by changing the license for the SDK.
Oh absolutely. I love that my E-bike's battery is just an off the shelf BMC and a bunch of standard lithium cells in a plastic box. That's what they should all be.
The fact that many domains are banned should be more obvious. I would even say much of the list should be publicized, since I can't imagine it revealing sources and methods of blocking.

I agree with the stance that this is necessary though, to filter out spam and low effort/misinfo/blatantly scumbag sites from cluttering the front page.
I totally agree. I do not think pleading with Hashicorp to reconsider will result in changing back the license

Doing the Fork and showing it IS sustainable and has broad community support can encourage Hashicorp to make concessions.

After taking this unilateral hostile step I do not think Hashicorp deserves the community trust and what industry needs is "Foundation Governed" Terraform like solution, whatever name this solution will have.

You can see example in Confluenct which builds proprietary solutions around Kafka, where Kafka itself is Apache project.
Wow, I guess I really needed the sarcasm tag there. It appears some folks didn't get that this wasn't aspirational.

JavaScript and Asynchronous Functions
"A Promise is a proxy for a value that is not necessarily known when the promise is created. It allows us to associate handlers with an asynchronous action’s eventual success value or failure reason. Here, in the first part of the code, the Promise allows us to actually make a promise that after a second (after the fetch function is fully completed), we can resolve the “html” variable, which allows us to return the variable inside of the Promise to the executor function on the second part."
It seems bizarre that gambling is a growing industry. I guess rich people with boring lives are at a point where they'll do anything for a short thrill.

There's lots of rich and famous young adults in the YouTube space that regularly go gambling, and it's honestly one of their most shameful habits. Especially if it influences a bunch of young people to also get into gambling.

There's also a giant new streaming platform, Kick, which is entirely backed by rich gambling sites and they're not afraid to bankroll big streamers to join their site.
This solves a really tricky Terraform problem I have at the moment about wanting to create Dev environments quickly but not wanting to recreate DNS, VNets and other core functions for every user. Will definitely be having a play with it.
Because it invites people to game the system. There are plenty of free lists and they overlap significantly. I'm pretty sure their intersection is also very similar to the core of the HN list.
Show HN: Dashi – Business OS in Minutes
## What is Dashi?
Dashi helps businesses create complex internal tools, with the equivalent simplicity of composing a regular word document.

## Motivations
We were in search of an internal tool builder to efficiently handle our customer's data. Unfortunately, we found ourselves messing with SQL in order to achieve the desired outcomes.

It was disheartening to invest a significant amount of time into crafting a solution that didn't directly drive value for our clients.

In reality, our primary concern was obtaining the final results, rather than delving into the intricacies of SQL programming. We believed that this sentiment would resonate with numerous individuals, including developers.

In the year 2023, the process of generating dashboards and internal tools should be as intuitive as composing word documents. This very notion is the driving force behind the development of Dashi.

## What about existing tools
1. Retool and equivalents
All existing internal tool builders, like retool requires their users to know how to use SQL to build handle more complex data. This is simply not acceptable for time-constrained teams.

2. Notion and equivalents
Actually, what we needed was a simple to use interface like notion, but unfortunately, syncing a postgresql database to notion was not trivial and required third party services.

If that's the case, then I'll be done using the web entirely.
The amount of academic publications outside of English native language countries have long surpassed the amount of publications in US+UK

No wonder, these tools just gather word statistics from some large online publications repository.
This wasn’t tested and wasn’t purported to test countering either addiction or acute overdose. This is a study showing the method of action. In mice (and humans, D2 receptor agonists are not new drugs), we have a method of countering the psychosis effect of meth. This has some value in ER and rehab settings where it is currently for healthcare provider safety; there is no evidence that it does anything else.
EDIT: no longer Flagged by me.

Flagged because this is just going to devolve into arguing. I doubt there's going to be much insightful conversation happening in this thread.

HN works because of the good decisions made. I wish people would stop try to destroy that.
Dang right, we should.
the only thing that bothers me about hn is that it doesn't let you delete posts so it gets annoying having to rotate accounts as you slowly dox yourself by revealing more and more info

for a social website where so many users are privacy advocates this is surprising to me

yes you can email dang or whatever but that is like having to phone up to cancel an online subscription, dark pattern friction bs
As someone who has also had it on for ~10 years, couple exceptions I'd add:

- New accounts (or long-dormant accounts that suddenly post). I presume there's some kind of filter they're tripping. I try to "vouch" these every time I see them, if they're contributing.

- Good comment, but when I click into their history, they have enough rightfully-flagged-to-dead comments, that it makes sense.

Very occasionally (like <1 in 1000) I'll come across a comment that is dead, and their history makes it look like they've been making good comments without realizing they're dead. I also click vouch on these.
Lessons learned on the Lisa were applied to the Mac for less money to sell to more people. I suspect the same thing will happen with their VR/AR/XR headset.
Chomsky once described Kibbutz, paraphrasing, as something like the nearest approximation in the real world of an ideal society.
Your point is a very important one. Do we check the interactions of a tentative drug molecule against every single molecular target in the body, and do we track what happens as a result of all those interactions? It’s quite common that a group of ”usual suspects” on the researchers’ radar get checked for — but by necessity, a lot of ground goes uninvestigated.

> Consider valproic acid: For many decades, its only use was in laboratories as a "metabolically inert" solvent for organic compounds

Speaking of ”inert” solvents:

> Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the most common organic solvent used in biochemical and cellular assays during drug discovery programs.
> Despite its wide use, the effect of DMSO on several enzyme classes, which are crucial targets of the new therapeutic agents, are still unexplored.
> 1-4% (v/v) DMSO, the commonly used experimental concentrations, showed ∼37-80% inhibition of human acetylcholine-degrading enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (AChE)

(DMSO: A Mixed-Competitive Inhibitor of Human Acetylcholinesterase. ACS Chem Neurosci. 2017 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29017007/)

Oops! How many investigations on specific drugs were in fact showing mostly the results of what happens when interfering with one of the most ubiquitous-yet-underappreciated signalling systems, the cholinergic system?

I’m hoping widespread & systematic application of modern methods like in-silico molecular docking studies will lead to much fewer such oversights.
I don't mind HN being moderated by a BDFL. It's why I prefer this place compared to the alternatives.

Some points...

There are three different tile sets: hex, square, and triangle. There are also infinite versions of each. Hex are the easiest, triangles are the hardest. Infinite repeating planes make some things much more complicated.

You start out with simple constant based rules.

5
┌──────┐
│ 4 │
│ ┌───┼──┐
│ │ 2 │ │
└──┼───┘ │
│ 2│
└──────┘3

The 5 region and the 3 region can't be resolved directly, but you can say:

* the 4 cells within the 5 region must either be a 3 region or a 4 region
* the 2 cells in both regions must either be a 1 region or a 2 region
* the 2 cells in the 3 region must either be a 1 region or a 2 region

So you would create those as rules.

Later, you get to use variables (they get tricky to think about)

X+
┌──────┐
│ 0 │
│ ┌───┼──┐
│ │ ? │ │
└──┼───┘ │
│ ?│ +1
└──────┘X

A region with X+ (e.g. 3+ which says that this region has 3 or more mines) that overlaps a region that has one more than the number of mines in the X+ (e.g. if the X+ was 3+ then the second region would be 4) and there is no part of the X+ region that does not overlap the X +1 region... and I don't care about the actual values designated by the '?'

The intersection of the two regions is either X or X+1 (3 or 4).

But that rule can be applied for a 1+ and 2 region, or a 2+ and 3... and so on.

And then you get more variables that you can use.

+Y
X
┌──────┐
│ ? │
│ ┌───┼──┐
│ │ ? │ │
└──┼───┘ │
│ 0│
└──────┘X

The X+Y region that does not overlap the X region has Y mines in it. So a region of 8 that overlaps a region of 5 (and all the 5 is in the 8) has 3 mines in the non-overlapping area.
I’d imagine if Reddit were to do it we’d be up in our arms.
I prefer Show Dead as well, but it's definitely not the case that the commenters there are insightful. Every once in a blue moon I see a dead comment that is a shame is dead, but it is very very rare.
So, is there an algorithm to be features in the front page? —other than upvotes. If a site can be banned, can another one be promoted?
The very first thing in the article is a description of the exploitation of native populations in uranium mining. It couldn't be more on topic.
I don’t know any codebase that’s enabled these kinds of transforms because the compiler doesn’t know if a type’s properties will be introspected or iterated, so the transform is likely to break at runtime
Anyone moderately surprised by this is either a) naive or b) a spammer (or could be both as well) or a troll maybe

And of course never had to moderate/care for abuse for anything more than a personal blog (and I mean, even then)

Yes I'm sure HN is worse off for not allowing half-brained spam sites or some random dude's opinion piece with 3 readers that permanently live in a basement or something
After getting my second co-authored paper published during my time as an undergrad in relatively high-impact journals, I started getting spammed with requests to review shady COVID-19 related manuscripts by no-name journals.

The amount of damage caused by shitty articles and shitty journals out there is terrifying to think about.
That isn’t exclusive to capitalistic policies.
Vendors have been pushing hard for trade-in value when new phones are purchased to keep perfectly fine phones out of the ecosystem.
And the ur-example is baseball cards. My dad's childhood collection was worth something like $40K in the 90s. He literally bought about 800 of them over 3-4 years in the mid-late 50s, then not only lost interest in them but in baseball completely, and the cards sat in the same clean, dry, temperature-controlled basement for 40 years until they became lottery tickets.

What everyone needs to do is to take that hobby when you bought a lot of rare, fragile stuff, and publish a high-priced coffee table book about it. Some rich bore will use that book and his money to simulate a personality, and other jealous idiots will try to imitate him, bidding up the prices.

I genuinely wish Xitter were added to this list since they started playing games with login walls.

It’s annoying when an interesting headline comes up but the URL points to twitter.com, so it’s not worth clicking on to discover whether the site will let me read today.

There’s Nitter but it seems to be a whack-a-mole target that only sometimes works.
> Because it invites people to game the system.

Please elaborate, how would they game the list?

They can already see if a submission is throttled/flagged/etc.
In this specific case above they work the same,
useCallback memoizes the instance of a function passed.
useMemo memoizes the execution of the function it is passed.
but both have valid separate uses.
