Show HN: From Chaos – A Chrome extension that turns any webpage into JSON
Hey HN! I wanted to share a chrome extension I built for myself called From Chaos.

It's an extension that takes the content of the page and organizes it into structured data. For instance, taking all the restaurants on a "top 10" article and just returning their names.

It requires an OpenAI API key that you can set in your settings, and lets you get data back as JSON, YAML, CSV, or plain text.

I built it to help in my data-gathering efforts, but wanted to share in case it's useful to someone else as well! It doesn't always return perfect data, but it does save me quite a bit of time.

Escape velocity is dependant on temperature, so Earth gravity can't retain He at Earths temperature - A colder Earth perhaps could.

> whether a smartphone is even necessary at this age

When I was 11, I spent large amounts of time playing with my peers, unsupervised, around my neighbourhood.

In 2023, this is an impossible dream. Even in parts of the world where you wouldn't be arrested for child abandonment if you let a child that age roam unsupervised, general consensus is that it is simply not safe for a child to exist outside the home, school or a paid-for-by-the-hour supervised activity space without their guardian in the picture.

As a society, we've taken away all opportunity for unstructured, unprompted socialisation in the real world. Kids must either learn to socialise online or not at all, since this is all we have left them.
Again, I think you're having trouble reading. From your link:

> The median length of follow up for efficacy for participants in the study was 9 weeks post Dose 2. There were 11 COVID‑19 cases in the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine group and 185 cases in the placebo group, with a vaccine efficacy of 94.1% (95% confidence interval of 89.3% to 96.8%).

> Cases of COVID‑19, starting 14 days after Dose 2, were defined as symptomatic COVID‑19 requiring positive RT-PCR result and at least two systemic symptoms or one respiratory symptom.

A SARS-CoV-2 infection and a COVID-19 case aren't the same thing, for the same reason a HIV infection is not the same as having AIDS. The 94.1% number comes from counts of actual sickness, despite your assertions to the contrary.

Either way, regardless of whether it's easier - the software world is driven by the power of plain text. Text is king. Text lets you diff, lets you git, lets you pull-request, lets you grep, etc.

Look at the popularity of Markdown, a syntax that is just "simple html but it's easy to read in plain-text form". Or YAML, which is just "JSON and XML that doesn't make your eyes bleed, but has the worst type-inference ideas ever".

Yes, GUI tools can help. Doing image-links in Markdown is a PITA. Ditto good-looking tables. But still, the idea of "human-friendly-text-first" formats is valid.

Doing the same for UML just makes sense to me.

Now obviously there are implementation details I disagree with, both in the format and the renderer. But the idea is sound.

I will never not be amazed that we can read the atmospheric spectra of exoplanets.
I saw the graph. It's probably crap, given that there is 5% death rate at 0km/h but let's take it at face value and let's say we implement 30km/h limit. Then there will inevitably be people claiming "death rate can be reduced by another 40% if we were just responsible enough to reduce the limit even further, to 10km/h". That's not hyperbole, that's exactly the way events unfolded near the end of the covid epidemic. Under the "every life is important" slogan, there was massive strain imposed on everyone, just to have a tiny % of old people die next year instead of this one.

Of course there should be 10 or 20km/h limits on certain streets, no one is arguing about that. We're talking about city-wide limits. Here, if I was driving at 30km/h on a main city road, I'd be lynched and rightfully so.
Polarized-but-balanced is at least as misguided as separate-but-equal.

I feel like you're applying programmer brain to statements that aren't actually commitments but north stars pointing us in the direction of how we should try and do better. Or phrased differently, "We might be the greatest country on earth, but an even greater country would ___"

And in this case to me the blank is "take on the world's tired huddled masses and set them up to be just as self-sufficient and successful as their native born." And I think that's pretty actionable, just about anyone could probably think of more than a few things that would push us closer to this.
If you say so. Statistics, media, real world conversations, and often lived experience all say otherwise.

I'm guessing you're not an American by this comment, at least from the US

>Do not be so stupid to think that
>A place should only belong to those who are born there

Does not imply unchecked migration since the entire social fabric of the United States is a based upon people moving here from somewhere else. Currently around 14% of US citizens are foreign born. Claiming they don't belong here would be considered an extreme view even among fairly right-wing Americans. Implying that only people born here belong here is, in fact, a absolutely 0 immigration view, that would essentially destroy the United States since our population growth is almost entirely from immigration.

Likewise:

>It is not okay to say
>Build a wall to keep them out

US immigration has not resorted to wall building as a form of immigration control for all but the most recent years. Again, nobody I know who is opposed to wall building supports "unchecked migration".
>>which is the most effective way to avoid mixing different kinds spaghetti ingredients together

I don't know if you've ever had spaghetti, because the ingredients _are_ meant to be mixed together. Maybe you were looking for another analogy?
The motor doesn't have to disengage; when unpowered it turns into a freewheel. The onewheel is perfectly capable of coasting, that's not what causes the crash.

It's the stance of the rider (leaning forward) combined with the sudden lack of acceleration from the motor which disrupts the equilibrium of forces and causes the ensemble to tip forward -- then it all comes to an abrupt stop because the leading edge digs into the ground.
How many people actually remember their wedding poses? I remember being bustled off to the side by the photographer to take our post-vows shots, but the actual poses? No way.

So if you had taken a few of the low quality smartphone pictures that guests took (had smart phones been as ubiquitous when I was married) and a beautiful background of our wedding location, and asked the AI to create some gorgeous portraits of us, with just the right "golden hour" light and the right look of love in our eyes, would the final portraits tucked away in our album be any different? Would they even be better?

It reminds me of the crowds of people in front of the Mona Lisa with their cameras out, so they can own their own, personal, blurry picture of the world's most photographed piece of art, instead of buying the perfectly-lit postcard in the gift shop. What's actually different about that much-ridiculed desire, vs. wanting to have the "authentic" photographs that that the photographer actually took (and then photoshopped, etc.).
Such a shame this isn't ARM, and they stuck with Intel. The battery life vs performance is just too good.

Basically distraction cycles in human nature are, imho, focused on as a natural byproduct of capitalism’s desire to keep workers from realizing they are distracted and therefore from realizing they are exploited.
In most US states the penalties for refusing are just as bad or worse. License suspension, fine, jail time, and revocation of any professional license you hold. Especially CDL, of course. And anyone looking at your record is just going to assume you were operating under the influence and tried to lie your way out of it, selfishly and without any remorse. In the long run, just taking the penalty and taking steps to avoid repeating your mistake is a much better look.
Yes, the production capacities do exist now. mRNA vaccines have proven relatively safe and effective. That should motivate pharma companies to invest in them.
Not many people want to fly Doha to Melbourne to Adelaide with a six hour layover when a direct flight from Doha to Adelaide is available.
You could also add time of use pricing to encourage use during peak renewable generation.
The wording in the article suggests that they're now selling tickets

>I mean, they weren’t even selling tickets [to Adelaide] for the first few weeks. They were taking the p** out of the industry and the laws.”

which implies after the "first few weeks" they were selling tickets

But then competitors would say that they would've paid a higher fee, in order to take those slots.

So in the end, there would be some bidding, and the cost of those slots would increase to their actual value, which removes the worth of those slots.

It "solves" the problem, but the airline who currently own the slot do not like this solution.
Roughly 7-8 years ago I was going to be traveling and didn't have a suitable machine to take with me so I went online and found an Acer CB3 for $100 new– I think the retail then was double that, maybe a little more. I bought two, one for myself and one for my mom who was struggling with her aging MacBook both in operation and physical heft. I immediately dropped crouton onto mine and made it my Linux daily driver for the next year.

It ran xfce, emacs, and firefox like butter, silently, and never got warmer than a good lap friend. Battery life for (literally) days. It looked good too, with a very simple white case and sturdy black keycaps. The trackpad even was fine. When my work started to involve heavy graphics and multimedia again my daily use dropped, mostly replaced by a newer Mac, and was eventually relegated to closet storage not to be charged or even turned on for at least two years.

Now it's 2023, my mom stopped using hers maybe two years ago in favor of a new and even more portable iPad. I have a daughter who is 3 approaching 4. She's interested in computers, tries to touch type on my desk computer, and is no longer a walking hazard to all non-stationary objects. I dug the old Chromebook out of the closet, plugged it in, and the damn thing works. Once the OS connected to the internet it was kind enough to inform me that its version of ChromeOS was EOL and and that there were no newer supported versions for my hardware. But it works. Even browsing the web normally has no issues beyond the occasional spruce goose'd site which could probably bring down the heftiest workstation anyway. It hasn't been locked out of any usage that I can tell but hopefully soon I'll be able to sit down and see to removing ChromeOS entirely for a fresh linux install.

There isn't much of a point to all that I've typed out besides some personal nostalgia. I tend to agree with all the comments which come up about Google's worsening business practices in general, surveillance-enabling behaviour, lack of product support, etc. While they seem to still be investing in it, I hope this product space doesn't eventually die in Google's hands. It's disappointing to me that there are not multiple vendors trying to offer something similar: a streamlined linux desktop experience on decent hardware that isn't fussy and is cheap.
I have one too and while it's great to just OK for the use cases I purchased it for but I can't feel but disappointed in myself for the price. For me it was similarly intentional to get avoid a media consumption device and encourage reading.

For anyone whose considering a the highlight is the pen: it works great so I am writing notes on call and then sync them to my phone easily, I read articles/pdf textbook chapters and annotate,and sketch with a android app. Other tablets have nice pens but it works well here.

The downside: smaller text in periodicals like Boston globe, retrogamer, or guardian weekly through pressreader is on the edge of readability without zooming in. Regal/ultra settings don't do anything in the app.

The screen itself is limited: without forcing a refresh any images are quite artefacted. If you have it on ultra/regal mode the automatic regular refresh is jarring.

I suspect the next generation of this tech or 2" bigger screen will solve the issue but this ain't it for ~$1000 cdn all in.

Any suggestions for software? Eink bro is a better eink browser than the ones you mention. Press reader, sketchbook, read by qxmd I find work great.
I’ll say something unpopular, but the best VPP alternative out there is the transmission system operator (doing its job well).

The circled digits as code points are very nice to have precisely because they are available in applications that don't support them otherwise... which is actually most of the software I can think of (Notepad, Apple Notes, chat applications, most websites, etc).
+1 for Miniminuteman! His shorts debunking flat-earther types is also incredibly entertaining.
The Chick-Fil-A locations I remember from two decades ago or more were in shopping malls where there was definitely lots of dead time during the week, and therefore one would think they would need to be open on Sundays to make up for it. So, I’m surprised by the high-volume concept you link to (though WFLA’s anti-GDPR policy prevents me from viewing it), though I have of course heard that shopping malls are less prominent a feature of the American retail landscape these days.

But Tegnell is the architect and main proponent of the historical revisionism that I'm talking about. He is the man at the center of the controversial policies.

Even while they were being enacted, Sweden was fed a narrative of exceptionalism by Tegnell and the mainstream media, who never mentioned the comparative liberality of the other Nordic states' policies, and maintained the fiction that we were still following the most liberal strategy (even to this day).

Tegnell is massively popular in Sweden. In fact, as deaths accumulated and it looked more and more like he was following a disastrous path, his popularity increased exponentially.

Criticism or even mildly questioning Tegnell was (and for a large part, still is) totally off-limits: there is absolutely no way I'd mention my doubts about him or his policies to my fellow Swedish colleagues or friends.

edit: Incidentally, for those who can read Swedish (or use Google Translate), this series of contemporary articles is a really great overview of the events in Sweden seen from a skeptical perspective:

EV charging and distribution is a big issue for the grid, because it does require a lot of investment in heavier infrastructure, literally more wires so that you can get enough power to charge your car. Grid operators are grumpy about needing to make this investment.

Networking all of the chargers / vehicles into a VPP, means you can actually defer some of that investment (don't have all the vehicles charge at the same time or at full speed if the local distribution is congested), or provide a valuable service to the grid in the form of demand response (Hey grid operator, this fleet of cars always charges between 5:30pm and 7pm. How much would you pay for 50 Megawatts of lower consumption?). So basically it makes it cheaper to charge that fleet of EVs from the grid infrastructure and operation perspective if you charge them smarter and make the whole system smarter.

The VPP operators use this as an additional revenue service for the actual asset. The grid is overall cheaper, and the VPP operator and asset owner get a cut of those savings.
Anytime tonsky's site gets posted here, I'm reminded by how awful it is, which is ironic given his UI/UX background. The site's lightmode is a blinding saturated yellow, and if you switch into darkmode, it's an even less readable "cute" flashlight js trick. I don't know why he thought this was a good idea. Thank god for Firefox reader mode.

The properties of the permutation are dependent upon the encryption key, so a client being able to select malicious inputs to get long cycles implies either that the client knows the AES key, or that the client has broken AES.

In any case, as I mentioned in a sibling comment, with 3 AES encryptions one can construct a 122-bit balanced Feistel cipher with a constant amount of work.
What distributed databases shard on the low bits? How do they do something like a range query?

The closest I’ve ever heard of is sharding based on a hash (e.g. CockroachDB can do this on request[1]) but most distributed databases with strong consistency (Spanner descendants in particular) default to “doing it wrong”.

Haven't seen the details, but I wonder what's the main difference between this OME-Zarr format and DICOM WSI, that's mostly aimed at the same type of images.

Thinking out loud, this looks like the consolidation of several formats and projects. Bioformats, OME, Zarr...

Back in the day I had the feeling that the OME/Bioformats people were more centered on research, and the DICOM crowd were mostly from the clinical side.
I don't think those are conditions required to reproduce whatever this is.

I have used btrfs on Fedora for 5 years, with transparent compression enabled and have not once had any kind of data loss.

I also use it on servers used in production in RAID 1 (on ones that don't run VMs or Databases) and again, have not had any data loss or filesystem issues.

BTRFS has so much faith that Facebook use it on their server farms. I wouldn't use bcachefs in any kind of critical deployment because it hasn't gone through decades of testing that ext4, xfs and btrfs have gone through.
We do not need to look further than excess mortality during the period.

It's three years later now and the numbers are in. There is plenty of high quality data from all Western countries.

However data driven policy decisions should be much more fine grained than that. We should instead identify specific situations where different type of lockdowns would make sense.

But the data is clear. Prolonged periods looks bad, at closing schools were clearly the wrong decision on every time scale.
