The "OS" on the commercial TVs is more or less for digital signage purposes only. Samsung is kind of the defacto in the market, but I've worked with some new Panasonics that are just as nice.

As far as the OS: It doesn't have an 'app store' and essentially you can program it to check in to an RSS feed / FTP / etc.. to grab new content, schedule content, or use a USB to load up a scheduler (Think like restaurant menu that changes from breakfast to lunch at 10:30am).

Other nice features may include ability to daisy chain to make a video wall, fallback/failover if HDMI1 goes off, RS-232 control or command of other systems. Some models also are built for 24/7 duty cycle, though, if you go to a local sports-bar or the like they will buy consumer TVs that will look blotchy within a year or two because they aren't built to be on 20 hours a day.
All the incentives are to goose profits, not hide them. Higher profits mean a higher stock price, which is how executives make the bulk of their pay.
Yes, most projects are pure hype. The amount of AI peddling on Twitter and YouTube is unprecedented. I wish the community were a lot more humble in that regard. That being said, there are a lot of legit use cases and customers in need of solutions that cannot be done quickly via a few API calls to OpenAI and require a lot of customisations and hand-holding. AI is hyped a lot, but there are companies out there, and I like to consider us being one of them (bias, I know), that think about how to enable customers to solve/improve real problems with the help of AI instead of making a quick buck by peddling the latest doc-chat solutions.

From that perspective, AI is not the new crypto. If you ignore the noise and focus on the actual work, you will find a lot of good things about this field, and I might say even breakthrough advances, that help us reconsider what intelligent life really means.

Disclaimer: we are one of the first "chat to your docs" companies that came out as soon as ChatGPT was released when all we had at our disposal was text-davinci-003 and basic vector stores. Now, we do mostly other things.

Yeah, I've never tried to write a browser extension. I'd foul it up; but I'd be glad to help if anyone else wants to have a go. And it is needed now; there's no need to wait until this proposal goes through.

The other side of the coin is that you'd then get a community of root-block lists (and root-add lists), like AdBlock lists.
I'm getting the same, across all the services.
I'm not sure bizarre would be the way I'd describe it, but it is probably not identical to how the setup is everywhere else.

There are those that fit the professional association description, for instance the union of computer scientists which mandates a university degree in cs to become a member (this union does do collective bargaining with government and municipalities but not private enterprises), but then there are more broader unions for bigger sectors that do collective bargaining against the industrial collective (samtök atvinnulífsins).

So, I'm not sure what is with the downvotes for bbarn's comment. Its a point that isn't far off.
I’ve wondered how likely you’d be to face legal repercussions for going rogue and fixing old leaky wells. The main non-legal issue would be expertise and equipment. I’m thinking of organizations like wren.co that could do this.
The paved areas are plowed and the rest is just left there.

It's not like you have a lot of snow blowing in there in an urban environment anyway.

ChatGPT is my goto destination for tech questions now. It's (mostly) far more efficient than Google and I can actually have a (limited) conversation with it, rather than arguing with StackOverflow mods.

Similarly with IRC. ChatGPT responds, IRC is hit or miss.

It's an imperfect discussion, and can always lead to weird rabbit holes and dead ends, but it sure feels more efficient than the alternatives.
> all the exchanges

Not really. There are plenty of decentralized exchanges which are proven, reliable, auditable, generally used by many without issues.

see:
https://uniswap.org
https://curve.fi/
https://1inch.io

It's the centralized exchanges, which are more akin to traditional financial institutions whose records are not on a publicly visible blockchain but rather private databases or... apparently spreadsheets... which fall victim to the same issues we have seen in the past in the traditional financial world.

Love this.
You're exactly right. I used to be a production engineer for an O&G company and new wells were usually ready to begin producing oil before the gas pipeline company had finished construction of the pipeline or the compressor station to operate it.

Because of the time-value of money, they want to produce the oil ASAP so that they can reinvest the proceeds to drill new wells. This meant that we had to flare gas the maximum legal amount every day for months until the pipelines were completed. I had to keep track of how much we flared and tell them to shut the well in if we were getting close to the legal limit.

Oil companies will ALWAYS pollute the maximum amount they are allowed by regulations when that is the most profitable solution.
It won't matter for Millennials trying to buy their first homes.

I'm seeing single-family houses going for $310k that should be going for maybe 2/3rds of that on a good day. Typically they're flipped houses.

If you were to bring down the value of every single-family home in the US, that means accepting about 2/3rds the value of each of these mortgages, along with all of the securitized derivatives of them. That's a 2007-2009-level crash, which the banks just won't tolerate.

The far more likely play is that large regional, national, or international investors wait for the price to drop a little more and use what is basically an infinite pile of money to buy them up for speculation or rental stock, which will keep this problem going.
Socialist housing has schools and kindergardens on large plots of land, lots of kids playgrounds between houses, a small park here and there. "Microraion" planning deprioritizes public road so every apartment house is a part of a superblock a-la Barcelona.

The downside is often that places of commerce are lacking. They have to be built separately or have first floors repurposed for commerce. I've heard that capital city of Brasilia had this problem too.
It took a bit of digging, but the page 'Hip hop' was created in June 2001. 'Hip Hop (Music)' was mostly a retitle of that page in April 2003, and what was left eventually became 'Hip Hop (culture)' by way of 'Hip hop culture'. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hip_hop_culture&o...
No, the home screen displays ads in the hero unit for the currently selected app. By default the first app on the home screen is an Apple one, so going to the home screen displays ads on the home screen from the selected Apple app.

You can change the apps in the first row to prevent this, but by default the behavior is the same: home screen ads.

We're being asked about these regularly, but e.g. bluetooth certification is still too prohibitive to just do without a customer.

However, I'm also frustrated with "everything is customer funded", so we're looking at ways to make this things happen.

Ask HN: Self-host small business stack for a brewery?
I'm nearing completion of a historical renovation to get a nano-brewery off the ground, where I would like to host hacker-friendly events.

With both that in mind and personal preferences that reflect much of the caution found here on HN, I'd like to run as little customer data as possible through or to the major vendors' and marketing ecosystems.

Anyone here have suggestions for a maintainable, self-hostable stack to cover typical brick-and-mortar SMB needs? I am a fairly proficient python programmer who's got a number of professional ML and personal RPi projects under my belt. I am not afraid to code, edit YAMLS, or write scripts to modify config files or a database - but have also learned the value of not reinventing the wheel.

Here's some areas of interest:

-Web presence (wordpress? pythonic alternative?)
-Retail sales (just beer and schwag, no food)
-Online sales (Stripe alternatives if I DIY, self-hosted shopify?)
-Event calendaring & booking (we have a separate space on top of the taproom I'd like to host events in, like tech privacy talks!)
-Smart Home - IoT devices for locks, cameras, environmental monitoring. (Home Assistant, NodeRed, something else?)

It turns out if you want anything other than cash and old school CCTV, you immediately get into a vendor matrix I don't really want to opt myself and all my customers into. Most of us can't usually avoid credit cards, but beyond that, it would be nice to provide a modest refuge for my customers.

Genuine thanks for any thoughts, especially from other HNers with businesses in the physical world - levinb

> OpenAI cannot make every product and market them to every segment.

Even if OpenAI doesn't, if its a thin wrapper with no deep proprietary edge, someone else can; your offering is ripe for commodification, even if that doesn't come from OpenAI themselves.
The thing that's so upsetting to me is that since I started using and developing against Matrix.org in 2016, Synapse has always been positioned as a reference implementation, it has always been a wedge to get others to come play in your sandbox, a gift to the community to encourage growth, a positive-sum engine, even if companies like Discord or whoever are trying to use Synapse behind the scenes to implement Matrix.org interop. To enclose that now because your business model relied on the good graces of other corporations just causes those proprietary forkers to not trust neither Matrix nor Element.

y'all are trying to get this shit IETF standardized and cram Matrix interop through via DMA while tying down your reference implementation, think about how that looks. that code should be as permissive and easy to integrate with as possible! who wants to pay a protection racket to an organization who's proven itself this fickle?

sure sure, enclose dendrite and the Element product family, things you explicitly built for scaling the matrix.org server and "Element the product" but Synapse should always have been seen as a loss-leader, a hulking mass of Tornado code that says "here's how you could implement this standard and it works well enough for operators of small or medium sized communities but wouldn't it be nice if you did it this more sustainable/scalable way? give us a call"

It just shows to me a lack of creativity or courage and instead says "well we parted ways with our corporate sponsor a few years ago without enough of a business plan and now we're hungry"
When every LinkedIn thoughtfluencer is writing 3-page screeds about how they're thoughtfluencing through AI you really know you're firmly in step 2.

Likewise when breathless reporters keep asking non-AI companies what their AI strategy is, you know you're firmly in step 2. Remember when Walmart was expected to have a "metaverse strategy"?

Also worth noting that many (most?) technologies do not have a step 4 or 5. They're just permanently/indefinitely dead after the hype train goes off the rails (see: personal jetpacks)
Yea, that is a problem. In sweden it has kind of resulted in the govt pushing immigrants into welfare and different programs to make unions happy (even if of course it hurts workers in the long run that a huge part of the population doesnt work and just live on welfare).

Zero.

Jews were in Israel under: Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans and the British.

Look at the Al Aqsa mosque. See the giant thing underneath it?

Before 1948, they purchased land from Ottomans. After 1948 Arab states kept declaring war on Israel and losing, making Israel larger.

There should just be a pandemic or something that puts a lot of people out of work so that they have to sell at low prices so that large real estate companies can buy their houses and then rent them back to them. They can even have a reverse rental program that allows people to stay in their homes through the hard times and instead pay rent to the new owners.

You sound a lot like me.

I ran full nodes, wrote smart contracts, even had 200 GPUs mining ethereum at one point. I still have a bunch of wallets, exchange accounts, ENS names, you name it. Interesting, kind of fun, but then a big "Ok, now what?". Turns out not much other than writing some crypto thing to do another crypto thing that does another crypto thing.

Since getting generally disgusted with the sleaze I saw from the inside I haven't touched any of it in years.

How much difference has this made in my life? Zero (other than not being grossed out on a regular basis). How many times have I had to dust off a wallet or write a smart contract to do something I couldn't do better, faster, and cheaper elsewhere? Zero. How many times have I wanted to buy something and needed crypto? Zero. My experience is an anecdote for the entire space - a lot of time, money, and energy spent with no tangible value and nothing to show for it.

Ethereum is over eight years old, bitcoin nearly 15. ChatGPT has been out for less than a year and I use it on a daily basis to save time and come up with fairly novel things I'm not sure I could on my own. Of course the roots of ChatGPT go back quite far but then again so do merkle trees.

I wish I would have saved the time, money, and grey hairs on crypto for "AI" - I have way more fun with Llama, Whisper, and dozens of other models with immediate and real use cases on a daily basis.

Exactly. The argument comes down to "Yeah, but the exponential rise isn't quite as bad as before; therefore, the problem is going away!" No, it isn't. People are poorer, savings are being eroded, and basic life necessities are skyrocketing in price. Additionally, the government continues to deficit spend as if nothing is happening.

yes, this is what i understood too, the definition of the set states that every element is equivalent (not equal though) to the number itself modulo 1. so every element from Z is actually equivalent to 0. and, 2+2 = 4 = 0+0 = 5 = 0
I lived in a relatively old apartment block in Austria. Only time I heard my neighbours was when they did drilling. The sound outside echo'd a lot so I could hear things in the courtyard (3 floors down) and people in nearby blocks louder than my neighbours.

Don't worry, smartphones will begin to fill the gaps, we pay for them, but the Industry does whatever it wants with them. In about a year, we may well have to watch 2 ads before making phone calls with the way things are going, while we of course pay even higher fees for mobile service (of course).
The counter-take I've heard to that is "if bad guys in the US take 30 hostages in an office building, we don't bomb the building". Other than the overt anti-semites, I think everyone[0] agrees about the unacceptable nature of Oct. 7 and the hostage situation.

But the number of (alleged) Palestinian civilian casualties dwarfs those attacks. I've seen numerous videos of mangled Palestinian kids (visibly under 10) and bomb-massacred schools (jabalia iirc?).

[0] Well, non-skin-in-game people like us at least. I have seen a lot of "progressive/left wing" people actually sympathising with Hamas and saying the attacks were justified because "violence is the voice of the oppressed" but that's nonsense when you target civilians.
The cynicism is both appropriate and appreciated.

The housing market hasn’t meaningfully changed until I stop seeing every single story 1k sq-ft, 2-3 bedroom 1-2 bath house being listed for over half a goddamn million dollars in a 70k pop city.

I started waiting for the market to crash 10 years ago, and I’m likely going to keep waiting for at least as long, barring a catastrophic economy collapse, which would be even less desirable than the current situation.

It also doesn't convey that those people being used by Hamas as human shields, Hamas told Palestinians not to evacuate, Hamas shot people that did evacuate, and Hamas used IEDs on roads.

That said, it's reasonable to suggest Israel should have done a better job of protecting Palestinians from Hamas, as they are now doing:

Interesting. If I'm understanding the analogy to San Fran's past diversity, you mean like it used to be far more multicultural-but-overlapping and now it's a bit more homogeneous-techbro even though a lot of people from different backgrounds still live there?

If I've understood correctly... Yeah, I don't know if it's for good or ill but I think we see less of that kind of diversity as the enlargement of the Internet allows people to build virtual communities that are more like-minded and have less need to tolerate uncomfortable differences (in that you have the option of going somewhere else instead of "putting up with the asshole next door" because this is the only online space that caters to the thing you like).

On the other hand, I have no strategy to force people to coexist in the same virtual space when they don't want to, nor do I have concrete evidence that's even a desired outcome.
