Show HN: JetlagAway (Beat jet lag with personalized plans based on patterns)
Hi I am Semih,
I've always been a frequent traveler. I love exploring new places and meeting new people. But one of the things I hate most about traveling is jet lag.

I used to suffer from jet lag for days after flying. I would be exhausted and have trouble sleeping. I would also have difficulty concentrating and making decisions. This made it difficult to enjoy my travels and be productive at work.

A few years ago, I was on a business trip to Japan. I had a lot of important meetings and presentations scheduled, but I was struggling to stay awake and focused. I realized that I needed to find a way to beat jet lag.

I started researching jet lag and how to prevent it. I learned about the circadian rhythm and how it is affected by travel. I also learned about some of the different techniques that can be used to adjust to new time zones.

I decided to develop an app that would help people to beat jet lag. The app would use a personalized sleep schedule and other techniques to help users adjust to new time zones and fall asleep more easily.
No reliable way, short of entirely reverse-engineering the game.
I guess that 8/8 split PCIe could also be used for 100 Gbps networking? I suppose 100 Gbit card requires up to 200 Gbit bandwidth.
The whole "notification alert" format is a form of micro assault on your attention faculty if you think about it. Sometimes, that tiny bit is all that is needed to screw with the focus of whatever you're doing which in all likelihood is arguably more important than whatever that wretched notification is about.

But indeed, one can't blame just the technology here. It's always up to the individual to put it on silent or vibrate mode for those important focus periods. But having said that, you can't deny that technology which was once the slave of humanity is slowly starting to become the master. One bit at a time just like that frog sitting on the pot getting boiled.
Personal property is made from a bit of the earth - space dust that has aggregated by gravity.

Again there is no 'natural right' - just something most people agree makes sense.

The idea of rights was a tool to try to get wide agreement ( internationally ) on the basics that most people agree on whatever culture. It's a useful tool - but to imbue some sort of existence outside society is an attempt at a Jedi mind trick.
Maybe not in the general case for arbitrary abstracted datastructures, but I have done it in a basic test to see if it's viable for my use-case, which is why I made that claim at all.
What 4th? Is that some US thing?

In any case, I wasn't talking about
"let's search this person's car because the person belongs to a minority",

but rather "we control 10% of cars (randomized) passing through this intersection, because there's lots of crime in this area, and if the persons searched don't reflect the overall population mix, that's okay."
That angle is certainly more understandable - it sounds like you're almost treating them as a donation to the developers rather than purchases for your own benefit. Games like Deep Rock Galactic had something similar - the vast majority of the cosmetics (and all of the gameplay affecting items) were free - but there were a few "supporter" cosmetic packs you could buy.

Not that have experience, but I feel like that's just practice. Your subconscious needs to learn that it's not necessarily going to die when it does that, and your subconscious learns from experience, so if you did it 10 times and nothing went wrong, you'll be less scared.

Currently sitting on the Yokohama line to Hachioji, a little before Hashimoto station. Looking at the map the train had already reached Hashimoto. Seems like we're running 30 seconds or maybe 1 minute late.
Not sure if I agree here. Langchain's LLMChains while initially popular, is not what people have been using. With function calling and agent+tools, both langchain and chatgpt do quite a lot of the same things that semantic kernel does.

You've mentioned a few things that langchain doesn't offer and I'm not sure how true that is. Langchain has a typescript offering which is easier to interweave with traditional coding, and if you're even the tiniest bit serious about your ML system then you'll likely use python anyway.

Langchain is a bunch of thin abstractions that can quickly scale up with the pace of growth in the LLM world. All the features you mention are now mature features within langchain too.

I'm genuinely interested in semantic kernel, and langchain has obvious pitfalls. But I am yet to find another solution that moves as quickly, integrates broadly, has a large community and still ends up being an acceptable product from a quality standpoint.
I agree this looks like it will be of questionable use at scale. That said I don’t see a shared token schema ever achieving much. Those sorts of efforts usually flounder because there’s little incentive for adoption until a critical mass is achieved

One of the other nice features of Swiss rental law is "imputed rent", which is rent the government assumes you have collected even if the property is empty, and upon which you are taxed. Discourages keeping properties empty.
There are absolutely loads of us here in Scotland :)
It's more "minimalising UK postal addresses" IMO, but still good.

"No.10" I think would be a pretty good answer for shortest address most likely to arrive at a specific building. You might get away with "#10"?

Although, post for Number 10, Downing Street, might be actually processed elsewhere; so maybe it's a fail.
That 4-7 billion is the price Apple and Google negotiated. It doesn't say much about where a bidding war between Google and Microsoft would end up
You're spot on that there is still untapped potential with cloud development environments. Daytona.io was founded to build an enterprise-ready solution that addresses pain points like security, access controls, infrastructure flexibility (vendor agnostic), compliance, and customizability. Exciting times ahead!
> It'll be code writing code writing code that's completely beyond human comprehension.

If the AIs are that good you'll just be able to ask:

- "rewrite this from scratch in a nanosecond and make sure there's zero legacy cruft"

- "oh, and btw, you're so smart and intelligent and all, certainly you'll make sure what you write is easy to understand by humans"
To me, under this definitions LLMs are then clearly and obviously reasoning based on many conversations I've had.

E.g. the ability to solve a problem in code and then translate it to a new made up programming language described to it would easily qualify to me.

And this is a task a whole lot of humans would be unable to carry out.
Improv's model was poor though, it was based on cell positions and it was easy to double-count. Basically was bad at various semantic aspects. I worked on a small conpetitor back in the day and we competed on modelling, there were a number of others too.

I've also worked on Anaplan and and its modeling is also much better, so please don't lower it to any version of Improv! It isn't, or at least wasn't a little while back, good at cross-metric ("line item" to them") calculations and presentations, but still easier to get something complex correct.

The real mistake of Improv was that it wasn't 1-2-3 so Lotus didn't know how to narket it or sell it.
> In the US....

I'd argue that the democratic ties between the people and the actions of the government in the US are extremely fragile - money is more important than people now in the US electoral system.

Another American disease is to then extrapolate that malaise and assume the rest of the world is in a similar position.

The solution isn't to dissolve society - that removes the only mechanism ( government ) that the majority have to control the powerful, further entrenching the power of the rich.

The solution is to take money out of US politics and get it working again for the majority,
I know little about Julia. I do know that advocates for Lisp also make similar claims, so I don't see it as that exceptional.

Not surprisingly, Julia draws on Lisp's macro abilities to achieve similar goals. Julia is also influenced by Dylan, another ALGOL-like Lisp variant.

If Julia does do what you say you don't believe it can, how would you learn that you were wrong?
At least you have landlords... in my country people hoard real estate and leave the houses and apartments vacant. They simply count on value increase, hoping the prices will level up with prices in rich EU countries. As a result every flip increases the value at least 10%, and the only apartments available for rental are 20-30 sqmt burrows optimized for rent extraction.
1080 Snowboarding was a gem not matched for a long time. The reason it was so good was because the chief coder, Giles Goddard, was an avid snowboarder and intuitively understood what it should feel like. He modeled the friction of the board relative to the contact patch it makes with the snow. I don't think any other game tried to do this outside of racing sins for quite some time.
Price controls are great for incumbents, but suck for new-comers or even incumbents who want to move. Disabling price as the allocation mechanism does nothing to address the supply/demand problems, and necessitates alternative allocation rules (waiting lists, insider connections, fit/need-based, lotteries) which all have their own problems.

In the Netherlands the average waiting time for rent-controlled social houses in popular places like Amsterdam and Utrecht now exceed 10 years.
For a certain generation of Yugoslavs, it isn’t just the party that matters but the specific man who led it, Tito. Once he died, even though his party remained, things quickly went downhill for Yugoslavia.
> disproportionately

In proportion to what?
I oddly miss the 3D printing hype train. My favourite was the various plans to replace restaurants with 3D printed meals.

- Point out that most 3D printing is plastic? Recieve a derisive link to a journal article where some beleagured postdoc managed to push some protein paste through the extruder

- Point out that the 3D printer is orders of magnitude slower than the most geriatric fry cook? Get a five paragraph history of Moore's law. The fact that it no longer really applies to semicoductors doesn't matter, since we're making burritos!

- Point out that grinding an apple into paste and painstakingly reprinting it in an apple shape will always be more expensive than simply eating the apple? Hear a grand tale on the company becoming the sole global food preparation firm and thus having a monosopy on all farming products, enabling them to set their own price on their supplies.

I also will always hold a soft spot for the group promising a 3D printed dating site, but I'm pretty sure that one was a satire. Fill out a questionaire and get a perfect printed partner. Pages of blog posts describing their web stack (Rails and Mongo) in great detail, proving that they could scale to the billions of people who would be visitng their site. The actual technology that created custom sentient life was just "3D printing"
Indeed, I think the model that conflates the shell and the editor in the same user experience is really convenient, and I've sorely missed it ever since my Spectrum was "tidied away."

It is not meant to scale to large projects, of course, but it provides a distractions-free learning experience.
I asked them about this in their discord. they didnt give me straight-forward answers. that’s when I knew I was right from the start that this whole thing was a show
You're falling into the trap of rows and columns for visual layout vs tuples and fields for semantic layout. The axes of a multidimensional spreadsheet (there can be any number) are better thought of as primary key components and the cells of the sheet as non-key attribute values.
> every nefarious action that people in these comments suspect TikTok may do someday

We already didn't prepare for Russia invading Ukraine despite obvious signs, we didn't prepare for wide parts of Africa and the Middle East to break down into civil war or climate change-caused mass emigration, we didn't prepare for Iran/Hamas massacring entire kibbutzim in Israel, we didn't prepare for the scenario of a global pandemic (despite multiple scares/near-misses), we didn't prepare for all of the multiple crises currently ongoing in this world that currently impact our population.

We have to prepare for the possibility that China is going to be at war with us very, very soon and will do anything they can to disrupt our lives - including spreading propaganda. Or otherwise it will go down just as bad as all the crises I listed.
smartphone industry is just ~15 years old. We have personal PC since like ~40 years only. LLM as ChatGPT 3.5 is not even 1 year old since release. It took still a while before fridge got invented and got into mainstream.

200 years is a huge amount of time. The whole industrial revolution started around 200 years ago. 3d printing is still new by this standard. People overestimate impact of some technology in very short term and underestimate in medium or long term
> Charity should also hurt. A poor woman giving $50 she could have used to eat, that hurts. The Bill Gates Foundation giving away $10M is barely noticed. The value of money is nonlinear.

Your idea of charity appears to be about ensuring the charitable suffer, rather than about relieving suffering for recipients. That seems like exactly the opposite view than that which would make everyone better off: it discourages charitable giving, rather than encouraging it. Is that your aim?
Anything involving a Carnot cycle is a rather primitive usage of energy, so I'm not surprised that turbines are close to their peak efficiency since humans have been using them for at least a century now.

More modern forms of energy usage will skip the whole heat-cycle skip and just directly produce electricity from some other energy source. We're still in early stages of much of that; just look at how much PV (solar) efficiency has improved in the last few decades. And we've barely even looked at what we can do with nuclear power[1].

I've encountered this problem with PDFs in general, where the pages are images instead of text. I've learnt to search for the same book/document in epub/mobi format. If I don't find it after searching the web, I will still use the PDF version - either squinting my eyes to read the tiny text or change the orientation to landscape mode (so that the image is a little bit bigger). If none of this works / its too much hassle - I use laptop/phone to read the document
You could do that to some extent with today's LLMs. But it would be impractically slow and might alter page text slightly.
Even if the program was open source, you could still be wondering how much trust you can place on the source code [1]

Trying to google "Are documents where the confusion started" ends up with your comment, any sources to the timely documentary about women?
Most modern GCs trade off CPU usage and latency. Less latency means the CPU has to do more work on e.g. a separate thread to figure out what can be garbage collected. JDK 8 wouldn't have had the G1 collector (I think, or at least a really old version of that) and they would have probably been using one of the now deprecated garbage collectors that would be collecting less often but have a more open ended stop the world phase. It used to be that this would require careful tuning and could get out of hand and start taking seconds.

The new ZGC uses more CPU but it provides some hard guarantees that it won't block for more than a certain amount of milliseconds. And it supports much larger heap sizes. More CPU sounds worse than it is because you wouldn't want to run your application servers anywhere near 100% CPU typically anyway. So, there is a bit of wiggle room. Also, if your garbage collector is struggling, it's probably because you are nearly running out of memory. So, more memory is the solution in that case.
As with all these threads, don't forget that survivorship bias exists.

For everybody in that thread, 100 times the number of people exist that haven't done so well or good at all. Don't feel bad if you're not as successful. There's more to life than making 20k+ a month.
I guess that depends on your perspective! I'm celebrating it! :) Do you have instances in your life where you've failed?
An onion hoarder can only exist as a job in an onion shortage.
> When you train LLMs on the output of LLMs, it gets significantly worse.

That is also quite an assumption, it could be that training on the output of better LLMs also reduces this worsening of output. There might even be a tipping point where the LLMs get good enough that training on their output is better than training on the output of humans.
Ime ram is either bad or good. I’ve had ecc errors like this and I always ask the DC to replace the ram. After that, 0 errors forever. Same reason why I’m confident a 24 hour memcheck is sufficient for non ECC ram.
Getting people to pay income tax on income they don't earn might be a good solution to unemployment.
Not the ego as much as pure greed. There is a strong financial incentive to repackage a software every so often and sell it again for full price/sub to the same people who bought it before. For example full price single purchase apps on the mobile are going away slowly. Older purchases are silently deprecated or disabled or have ads injected, and instead new versions are promoted which are now not an update but a separate app with the same name and functions, you just need to pay for it again.

I'm thinking that the age of app compatibility will end in 10-20 years, and there won't be suh a thing as "old code" because it won't run at all on the new hardware or OS.
Also changing culture to discourage people from aggregating in hustle and bustle anthills.

Less green space isn't really what most cities need.

Epic! Some people, really...

> I don’t quite have the courage to physically short pins, nor the patience to slowly overclock my RAM, waiting multiple minutes for DDR5 link training each time

It's not clear to me: when is the DDR5 re-trained? I assembled my Ryzen 7000 desktop PC myself and I don't remember ever having to wait minutes for it to boot, not even the first time. It's a bit slower at boot I'd say than non-DDR5 PCs I had in the past but it's mere seconds, not minutes.

And last but not least: DDR5 specs for ECC vs non-ECC, which price difference and speed difference are to be expected?
Salt Lake City has this, I believe. If you're in the COLDS (never noticed this acronym before!) then you might well be working for the church, banking with the church, and renting from the church.

> You need to provide proof, not speculation.

There won't be proof of war until the war happens, but it makes sense to prepare for war. And there will be war, make no mistake on that - tensions in the entire APAC regions are growing every day.

Or to quote an old Latin proverb: si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war.

To be honest though, I am not sure if this a pain-point enough for me to pay for a service to convert it to text. In my mind, these are edge-cases.

The first stable version of OIDCC, an OpenID client implementation for the BEAM ecosystem has been released.
See my comment above on multidimensional axes for presentation vs primary key components of a relation.

More interestingly, SQL has a hard time with the contextual calculations (actuals come from this table and are aggregated, forecasts come from those 12 tables and are computed by the following formula series, now apply that logic across N variables for actual and forecast) and a really painful time defining computed rows (like fields in some rows being ratios of the same field in other rows).

That's what the modeling tools like Anaplan, Tidemark and some others excel at.
Do you happen to remember that book by Reynolds? I've read one of his in the past and remember that I greatly enjoyed it. It's been several years now, unfortunately, I should probably do a re-read.
intercept network traffic and inspect it.
then conduct experiments to validate your hypothesis.

if the program only doing it when requested by a remote source or some other more complex logic it's gonna be harder, you'll maybe need to reverse their communication protocol and inject network messages sent to the client to make it look like the server asked for that info. but if you reverse engineered the network protocol you don't need to listen to begin with.

so keep listen to the traffic for an extended period of time and look for suspicious activity.
Serendipity indeed. I'm glad to have helped! All the best!

Break-ins are also not a technological problem, but even a simple lock helps - a lock that can trivially be picked. Setting up the perimeter, a technological thing, sends the psychological message that there's a barrier, the insides are for people with access only. It doesn't prevent break-ins, but the frequency is reduced significantly.

Somebody else is already doing simple wheels and levels. A lot of people/groups, actually. These and others are doing legs. I don't know if anyone is looking at crawling and jumping, or screws or tracks. Or tentacles. I wouldn't be surprised.

In USSR and other Marxist-Leninist experiments arguably both the state and capitalism prevailed. The relation of workers to their workplaces didn't actually change - still taking orders, this time not from the owner of the workplace but from the state beaurocrat. So workers actually didn't have control over means of production, just this time the political class and the owner class got combined into one class - the class of state beaurocracy.
What is the physical explanation for this bias?
Being a landlord is not hoarding. Taking a risk on a buying a property, and maintaining it, is not hoarding. There are bad landlords and good landlords, and yes, with the levels of supply and demand how they are, it's easier to be a bad landlord. But the answer isn't "get rid of landlords". It's "vote out the people causing this situation."
