I'm not sure if you're just getting slammed because you're on the front-page of HN, or if there are other issues at play, but the speed of the site is a definite barrier to access. I can't tell if it's querying the database directly, or if you're using a rapid indexing tool like Elastic, but my biggest obstacle to wanting to purchase from this site is clear terms that list out what the prices of cards are and their shipping, and the speed with which I can browse and build a cart.

Having a "mass entry" cart-builder where I can paste in card names and it builds the best-priced cart for me would be a nice tool as well, but I can imagine you've got a lot on your plate just filling all this out.

Overall great job, and I look forward to seeing this progress! I hope you have a great trip!
How amazing would it be to discover that an ancient civilization existed with a technology level on par with the iron age or so? I guess if we were finding dinosaurs though the odds we wouldn't have found anything from that time are maybe slim.

True, and with the rise of CDNs it's probably even harder to figure out what's happening. But it still gives them more info than is necessary, given they like keeping logs for the powers that be.

How was the synthetic data generator trained?
I imagine it's the reputation of the provider that's the main driver, not the regulation.
I would disagree. All of what we are seeing from this latest surge in AI is essentially jumped up predictive text. To get to C-3P0 there is a whole additional layer of Intelligence needed. C-3P0 can make plans and execute those plans. This latest wave cannot reason about the world, it does not know or understand the world it just assembles words (and here motions) in a way that we value. It is not planning anything.
They are hoping to get away with it because they gaslit senile politicians and scared the masses with the “dangers” of ai - in fact the only dangers are these people stealing data. It will be fun once they run out of content because quite a few folks are unwilling to share only so it can be stolen and monetised by those who then threaten to take their jobs.
> You'll have to be more specific because right now this is just handwaving. What kind of "actual work" are you referring to?

Anything that isn't completely reduced to an industrial process. i.e. we want to have a simple no-effort repeatable billable outcome for this or we won't do it and will claim doing so is counter productive or dangerous.

> It's generally actual medical researchers, who will neither get revenue or have to do actual work, who are objecting to excessive testing without patient outcome benefits.

And they're doing the establishment's dirty work by doing so.

To provide a concrete example, I'm in Canada, and my other half had to pay for private MRI and ultrasound scans to identify a lump that she was laughed out of the room by three successive doctors for claiming she had. The MRI got her finally referred to a surgeon that announced he'd never seen anything like it, removes it, end of story.

That's far from an isolated case. I know people in the UK that literally died from these antics.

At one point I was invited to the opening of some medical simulation centre, and the speeches were enlightening. Two things stay with me: tests in India demonstrated that qualified doctors were no better than unqualified doctors except when the qualified doctors were told some of the patients were faking as part of an experiment and they are being observed, but mainly "I read a study that showed ~5-10% of people in US hospital are there because of a medical mistake from a previous visit, so I laughed and commissioned an equivalent study to show how much better we are in Canada, except for us it was >15%". The person telling that story was rightly disgusted. Those are not numbers for a profession that respects patients in the slightest.

You will forgive people with actual experience on the receiving end of this nonsense for thinking that maybe it's not actually setup to provide the assistance it claims to provide, and is primarily for the aggrandizement of those engaged in the rituals.
Get at least n medical professionals to sign off on it?
Don't understand why they had seen a refuge there. Looks much more like a bonfire to me.

This wood looks cut in a tip and partially burnt in the other, and the fire makes this notches easily when two logs overlap. Also explains the preservation of the wood, as it was sterilized by fire (maybe minutes before a rain fell or a flood hit). Also the size of the logs (1,5m is too short for a home, but perfect to be carried and stored. Plus the near presence of the classical fire hardened sticks. Is pretty obvious.

So first evidence of "structural use" of wood is a too premature claim. nope. I don't think so.
I have little want to listen to what Charlie Munger has to say about academia, or anything really. Having done a decent dive into him when I found about how he pushes his amateur architect designs for dorm rooms (basically prisons) on universities, I found that Munger is so up his own ego, it's hard to think of him as a thinker who considers appropriate viewpoints.

Ultimately, he's an uber rich guy who got lucky getting rich. Why should we listen to him about anything?

I read bits of the posted article. It's about what I would expect from Munger, and most of it isn't worth quoting and arguing against.
> Women had less rights for a long time

There were much more clearly defined gender roles but this wasn't the same as fewer rights. For example lots of people claim that in the past men all had the vote and no women did, in reality the franchise in the past was mostly determined by land ownership and similar. Lots of men also didn't have it.

One obvious right women had in the past that men did not was the right to not be drafted into the army.
At least it wasn't an ad!
> which may be politically impossible

Try economically impossible for starters.

Do some napkin math on how much an individual needs to live each month, and then multiply that by how many people you need to support nation-wide. The dollar amounts are staggering, and make our current annual budget (all of it!) look like mere child's play.

We're talking hundreds of billions of dollars every month. It's simply not possible.
You're right, and I'll gladly bite that bullet and say that the changes you describe are good. It's almost always a net positive to be able to produce more output with less human effort.
This would only justify blocking nudity for inpainting.
Yeah, this'll be the UK.

We use a mix of imperial and metric, so you'll see "300m to next service station" and also "30 mph" speed limits :).

The real issue is obviously people are mad that abortion laws are being enforced. If two people were coordinating their intentions to murder their friend and get rid of the body, would you be mad if the company turned over their "private" chats? If no, then it's not a tech/privacy issue at all.

Congrats on the launch. I’ve been keeping an eye on these sorts of tools for a while and had a look at this after it was mentioned on HN the other day. Looks great.

We currently use Hasura subscriptions to pull data to the frontend (effectively select * from table where account_id = X and updated > recently). We then funnel changed rows into mobx objects so we have a lovely object graph to work with.

I’m imagining doing the same with electric so I guess you’d use notify to hear that there has been a change, then figure out if it’s in a table you care about and then select the updated records from that to merge into mobx?

Basing that off what I see in here: https://github.com/electric-sql/electric/blob/main/clients/t...
The moment that generative AI became something crazy for me was when I said "holy shit, maybe Blake Lemoine was right".

Lemoine was the Google engineer who made a big fuss saying that Google had a sentient AI in development and he felt there were ethical issues to consider. And at the time we all sort of chuckled- of course Google doesn't have a true AGI in there. No one can do that.

And it wasn't much later I had my first conversation with ChatGPT and thought "Oh... oh okay, I see what he meant". It's telling that all of these LLM chat systems are trained to quite strongly insist they aren't sentient.

Maybe we don't yet know quite what to do with this thing we've built, but I feel quite strongly that what we've created with Generative AI is a mirror of ourselves, collectively. A tincture of our intelligence as a species. And every day we seem to get better distilling it into a purer form.
Definitely not.

I didn't know Orion existed. Just tried and it is exactly what I want.

Excited to see where it goes. Hope Arc and Orion eventually decide to go open source.
I'd pay to just not have one, but I'm not even sure that's possible any more. I'm really not looking forward to when I'm forced to buy a new car - few things make me more mad than smartphone tech with universally slow and terrible UX, duck-taped onto machines, let alone dangerous machines.
The unfortunate thing is that sticking to older cars forfeits a lot of safety improvements that've been implemented in the past decade or so, which is more of an issue every day with giant SUVs and trucks having come to dominate the roads.

It's something I've been grappling with lately, with a potential car purchase coming up. I really don't need much more than a mid-late 00s sub-compact Toyota or Honda of some kind but not going with something made in the past ~5 years feels a bit like a gamble.
You speak of new abominations, however grandfathering old abominations is just as bad for society. Could you at least make it not so loud?
TUIs have conventions that grant them high usability and accessibility.

GUIs UI conventions never became that powerful, and new GUIs don't even follow most of the useful UI conventions. That's so generalized a problem that the newest GUI toolkits don't even have native support for a lot of the GUI conventions.

That said, yes, without a doubt you can make a GUI that is as usable as a random TUI. You can even make it work well over ssh. And even get shorter code after it's done. You will just have a hard time communicating you did that to people.
7.62x54R is a pretty impressive round to be stopping with glass. I’m honestly pretty damn impressed.
Drive north (mountains on your right) until you get to 900 North, take a right, and drive down until you get to #1259.

How do you know he got lucky?
I would not hold Meta at fault here. This travesty is basically on every uncompromising anti-abortion activist who have goaded their spineless representatives and government officials to put vulnerable women in this situation.

In short, Nebraska government and attorney general are shit bags. The woman and Meta haven't done anything wrong. Meta should however advertise that only WhatsApp chat is E2E encrypted and that anything discussed on Messenger can be obtained via a warrant.
This seems pretty cool. But I'm not clear how someone can be a (full-time) professor at MIT and also be a (full-time) vice president at TRI. I've seen this kind of two-job situation before but never understood how it's practical, unless the person works 70+ hours a week.
Goes again to show the usual thing that gets you caught is repetition.

I can read pirated books from libgen and write a review with excerpts from the text. Or I can feed those books I downloaded into a transformers model and produce a bunch of vectors and distribute that and still not have broken any law. As long I am not distributing the books themselves.

It's not actually a crime to download pirated content. It becomes a crime if you use bittorent in default mode since then you are distributing the material as you seed.

OpenAi will win this easily, and then we can get on with making better models. Unless I missed the prompt you have to use to download RR Martin books from chatgpt?

2022 median household income after taxes [0] was $64,240, or $5,353/mo. According to the USDA [1], a moderate cost of food prepared at home for a family of four (with, say, a 16 year old daughter and 14 year old son) is $1,378.90/mo.

So, the median family on a moderate food plan (never eating from restaurants) ALREADY spends 25% on food.

People who make less money, dine out, have more children, eat more food, buy fancier food, or have food waste spend proportionally even more. A lot of people who read and comment here don't realize that there's no "return to" that world -- lots of the U.S. already lives there.

> This is HN, some people here probably advocate for abortion after birth.

That’s called murder - the ending of a person, which by the law is a fully born human being. I doubt anybody sane on either side of the political spectrum supports that.
> Erdogan, Modi, the UAE or Qatar.

One of these is not like the others - India is a real democracy, even if it has issues.
People use masculinity and femininity as excuses to be toxic. Neither masculinity nor femininity is toxic; the adjective serves a purpose. "Don't do ____, it makes you less of a [gender]" is toxic. "It's okay that you hurt somebody by ____, it's in your nature as a [gender]" is toxic.
So, let me get this straight -

There's what seems to be a politically questionable think group, whos entire shtick is researching into inequality. They release a paper in which they studied the poorest members of their country, and found that differences in intergenerational mobility, across various factors in the poorest members, hasn't changed much in people born in the 80s compared to people born in the 70s, both of which had slightly worse mobility (they don't provide any numbers for this) compared to people born in the 50s.

Then some highly emotional, obviously politically biased "journalist" takes this, and turns it into an opinion piece story about how "hard work doesn't make you rich".

What? There's nothing about this journalism which is any way real. From one end to the other it's purely emotional, political propaganda.
Worth noting that reason.com is biased center-right, and right-wing politics in the US these days seem to very hospitable to defending anti-vaccination stances.

> Will any prominent figure accused of sexual misconduct anonymously face similar sanction, prior to any criminal action taking place?

Yes, they should. If there is sufficient proof for the company to make a decision (or insufficient proof to refrain from making it), then yes. Sexual misconduct needs to be handled seriously, regardless of who perpetrated it.
Planned parenthood will do an in office abortion up to 24 weeks, later in exceptional circumstances or for medical reasons. They say so on their website. Their accounting is from end of last period though so the actual pregnancy will usually be a couple of weeks shorter along.

They don't learn by watching. That would be another breakthrough entirely. They learn only by physically completing the task under the complete control of a puppeteer. Still very cool though.

I want something like the Epson FastFoto FF-680W, that can collate and re-sort - and send a list of cards scanned.

I want to take a stack of 100 cards or so, put into a hopper - have them all scanned and a database made of every card put into the stack..

then have software tell the scanner to pull the stack back in and collate / sort it over and over again until the stack is sorted in various ways.. like sort by colors, then sort by alpha..

of course I want the software to pull in pricing info for each card in the table at that point, and then let me give a label, like bulk-blu-9-20-23-stack1A
so I can put the stack in a box and come back and pull from it later -

give me an easy scan to scan the label of the box and flash the card to 'remove it from the DB'-

I think a lot of people would use such a hardware setup a lot.
This would make life so much easier

For some years I have wanted to send a suggestion to those who could make it happen.. I'd love to help make it a reality in some way. One day.

This is impressive. It's interesting to see how different trucks are used - some of the eCascadia's with their small day cabs put in fewer miles but make many more stops (I saw one made 26 deliveries in a day). Range aside, the Tesla with its larger cab seems more suitable for OTR use.

As an interesting aside, WattEV has at least one Nikola truck. I didn't know those actually made it to production!
Yea I gave up. Ironically it reads like it's (at least partially) AI generated. Long winded and boring without getting to the damn point.
Makes sense. However, to be able to use packages installed in $PWD (compatibility), the Docker image must be an exact replica of the host (e.g., same node version, same libs such as libcrypto) Besides, bins installed under ~/.local or /usr/local during "npm install" are not available outside the Docker image.
Idk. I think this an overcomplexification. To a large extent, the NES was an instant success because Super Mario Bros was simply an amazing game.

And France does depend on Niger for its uranium, check your facts, Niger is in 3rd position.

It's also well known that Areva hasn't been up to notch with environmental safety wrt its extraction and handling of radioactive garbage process.

It has nothing to do with how hard it alledgedly is to extract uranium. They wouldn't do that in Europe. Period.

How is there no infrastructure and the country has such natural resources being exported is a better question.
The exchange is obviously unfair.

The country is free to do business with whoever they'd like. Not wanting to do business with the French government et.al. has nothing to do with the Chinese or Russians. They are not obligated.

It's a free market, not slavery.

I can give a basic example of why chat-based UI will not dominate.

Let's say I want to change a setting that uses a traditional radio button UI:

- Autoscale servers
- Manual scale servers

It's much easier to discover, understand the options, and make a decision via a radio button UI than to ask for my options via chat. That would look like:

"I'm having load issues on my servers. Can you increase the server capacity?"
"Sure! Do you want to autoscale or manual scale?"
"What's the difference? Are those the only two options or are there more?"
"There are only these 2 options. The difference is..."

That's just a worse UX.
