Putting asphalt below a jungle gym is hilariously inept, so don't do that, but... if nobody's crying, it implies nobody's pushing themselves past their comfort zone and learning that success is possible.

Where I'm going is that a child developed with every safety net deployed becomes a fearful, anxious teen / adult, which, in turn is the foundation of a timid, fear-based society.

Modern playgrounds of sufficient size will have some room for growth ("this area is for children under 5, this area is for...") but... I actually wonder... how much more popular would playgrounds be if there were adult playgrounds mixed in with kiddy ones? Like a set of monkey bars that're 12 feet up and assume you have a 5ft reach, etc. where it normalizes play for adults... thus we adults demonstrate skill, and reasonable risk-taking to our children while having a great time and exercising too.
"Modern suspend" is a specific technical term for the suspend system from Intel and MS that's supposed to supersede S3 suspend. It's supposed to let the OS do stuff like poll emails and download software updates while in the suspend state. Modern suspend typically has the problem you describe with both Windows and Linux since its teething problems have continued for a long time.
So far nobody seems to be willing to give up luxuries like fresh fruit and vegetables in winter though.

>1. Chrome beat Firefox in the stability/security area. Its usage of multiple processes, sandboxing, etc is excellent, while Firefox failed to adapt. Servo seems to have an excellent potential for coming up on top there, being both more secure, and having higher performance.

They did adapt, and the HN types got mad at them for breaking the old-style extensions, which were effectively incompatible with multiple processes, sandboxing, performance, etc. And were totally incompatible with Servo at a fundamental level.

>2. There are actually markets interested in security. Think say, banking, military, industry, IOT.

Those industries are infamous for doing things like having applications that only support IE9 in Windows XP. Security may matter to them in theory but in practice it is clearly far lower on the priority list than stability and supporting one golden path. Getting them to adopt something novel and experimental for use cases they want to be thoroughly boring and unchanging for 15 years is never ever going to happen.

As someone that compiled and ran Servo and submitted a couple of patches, it had a long way to go (years of development) before it would have been production ready in its entirety.
> Imagine it in conjunction with the Facebook/Rayban glasses with integrated cameras and headphones. Now you can walk around an event and hear "this is John Doe, he's a VP at X Corp..." or you look at a product and hear "you can get this for 30% less at this store"...

It's a tough spot since you need S0ix (modern suspend) for Windows 11 to work but you need S3 for Intel ME to be turned off so you would have to pick one or the other.
I think especially when the first "governments" arose, but also now, the difference between "thieves" who visit you repeatedly and "rulers" can be pretty fuzzy, and is mostly a matter of perspective. But if some guys with weapons who are already in your extended community (perhaps your second cousins or something) run a protection racket and take 20% of your crop every year, but ostensibly protect you from roving/unknown guys with weapons who want to show up and take 80% of your crop periodically, then the presence of "thieves" justify the existence of "rulers" even if they're doing the same basic thing at different scales.

> So, we're back to someone withholding value that they could be providing to society.

The point OP is making is that value to society and money are only loosely correlated. Sometimes it correlates well but often not so well. That’s because there’s externalities in any marketplace that aren’t captured by the marketplace itself.

So in the presented hypothetical case, the externality of “provide life saving treatment” is not captured in the costs side of the drug company’s balance sheet, so treating 75% fewer people for 10x more per unit cost makes the company look even more financially positive even though the change is a societal negative. And this externality shift in the balance sheet need not be a conscious “evil” decision. It could simply be market dynamics and competition playing out with the players not even realizing that they’re just making money from an externality and not providing any benefit.

Your argument that it’s the legal system is flawed on several counts:

1. The US (and many places) have regulatory capture so the legislation preventing future competitors is written by today’s competitors. So while it’s the law on one hand, it’s the current set of players that’s the real problem.

2. There’s no collective buying power in places where this is a problem (eg you don’t see the cost of penicillin being an issue in countries where single payer healthcare is a thing). We’re starting to see this with insulin where non profits and California are getting into the game, but it takes a while to ramp up production so even if the price does come back down, the companies involved have managed to make a lot of money in the short term at the cost of lives and financial health of many households.

Calling up Dang actually points out the one major weakness of this site from the outside. I don't know what his succession plan looks like, but if he gets hit by a bus, this site could change dramatically (for the worse) and almost immediately.

When one person is your linchpin, you have one major, and guaranteed source of failures unless you take steps to mitigate. So it would be interesting to know what kind of succession plan there is, I guess.
> Regular drivers aren't collectively paying for the damages of drunk drivers.

Not, primarily, via payment to the state for using the road, true.

They do, however, pay for liability of general road rules violations, instead, through mandatory insurance, also a general legal requirement for using public roads, though you can opt out from the risk pooling nature of insurance in most (all?) states by assuring (via a personal liability bond) that you will pay for the damages you cause up to the threshold amount of required coverage.

Public road use simply isn't something that is cost free with the idea that “well, a bunch of people will be damaged, but there is no need to assure that those damages are reasonably covered because other people will benefit”, it has lots of costs associated with use, and a number of them (both the licensing regime and the insurance regime) are about limiting harms even at the expense of potential beneficial use and assuring compensation is available for those that are harmed. Yes, its an elaborate and different regime than paying to the supplier who pays for damages, but a regime exists, so its hardly an example of how no such regime is necessary for a service that has benefits for most users and acute harms for some.
The most important thing about writing code is that you write it idiomatically for the language it is in. With Python, idiomatic code is known as Pythonic.

def rename_user(user_id: str, name: str) -> User | Exception:
# Consume the function
user = get_user(user_id)
if isinstance(user, Exception):
return user
user.name = name
return user

This is not Pythonic. Don't do it. Like it or not, Python uses exceptions. How do I know that some other code that get_user calls isn't going to raise an exception? What if the program receives an interrupt signal during the get_user call? When I'm writing Python code, I have to think about exception handling, and now when I use this library, I have to add a bunch of isinstance calls too?

Perspective: I've written primarily in Python for over 20 years, as well as coded extensively in many other languages (C, Objective-C, JavaScript, Java, Bash) and have familiarity with a bunch more (Go, Ruby, Gradle, TCL, Lua, Kotlin, C++).

In practice, exception handling, declared exceptions or not, just isn't that big of a problem. When I'm writing code, I have to reason about it, and exceptions and return/error values are just one aspect of that reasoning.
I doubt this will really go anywhere. At the end of the day, it's actually in the EU's interest to make it easy and desirable for US megacorps to set themselves up there. €13B is nothing in the grand scheme of trade. That's why the EU are saying "should", not "must". It suits them to palm the heat off on a small country there, so most people can be sort of indignant about it but still feel like it's a foreign country's problem.

One assumes there are people that turned it down. I'm more interested in a story about them than a story about the ones that took the money. Especially since it sounds like it was simply free money. Though equally I'd be super interested in a story about those that did and still failed. I assume PT will "drop you" if you cease to be value accretive.

Equally, I'd love to see a story about those that were offered YC and turned it down. This should happen, I assume more often since YC are taking 7% of your business while PT appears to be offering a triple gift (cash, status and time).

There is a huge difference between those that make it without YC/PT and those that were offered the help and said, "Non".
They usually block via DNS, so it's pretty easy to circumvent by using alternative DNS servers such as 1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9, or Tor (which you sometimes need for books that have been DMCA'd)

> I find Lisp much nicer to represent music than SAL

Lisp and Scheme are indeed very flexible to represent about anything, but on a very fundamental and general purpose level; of course you can do some kind of "DSL" with macros, but it's still "Lispy". SAL has less degrees of freedom and helps users not to get lost or bogged down, but it's still a general purpose programming language, not a specification system covering the essence of musical structures and processes.

> My PhD is interdisciplinary, so it is not a pure research CS..

Here in Switzerland "interdisciplinary" means that the research topics concern more than one research area, not that it's not pure research. Usually the PhD students are more challenged than with a "traditional" PhD, because there are more professors involved, each with his own research focus, that is most important to him (so it happens that the student does actually work for more than one PhD).

Concerning Scheme, depending on how big the "composition" is and whether it does sound generation and has to be controlled in real-time, a traditional byte-code interpreter will likely get to its limits, even on present HW.
I'm sure you could, but another USB-C port is certainly more expensive than a barrel plug. How significantly this affects the BOM I can't say, but due to the complexity of USB-C I assume it's not totally negligible.

If you want the port to handle PD, various (display) alt modes, high speed data transfer, maybe even TB, you may need a few additional controllers. OTOH having multiple USB-C ports with varying capabilities can be quite confusing.

Show HN: I built a tool to identify viral AI products
Hey HN community!

I'm excited to share my side project, aisites.top, a curated list showcasing the top traffic AI websites based on their monthly visits.

As someone passionate about AI, I always found it challenging to identify which AI products and websites were gaining traction.

That's why I created aisites.top. It's a resource for enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and researchers alike to explore and discover the most visited AI websites. Whether you're looking for inspiration, market research, or just curious about what's viral in the AI world, aisites.top offers a snapshot of where the action is.

The platform is straightforward: it ranks AI websites by their monthly visit counts, providing a dynamic and monthly updated leaderboard of AI online presence.

I'd love for you to check it out and share your thoughts. Feedback is much appreciated as I look to improve and expand the site.

Looking forward to your feedback and discussions!

Why would anybody use this over the assembler shipped with their compiler?

This might make sense if your project is written entirely in assembly, but does anybody even do that nowadays? For projects that are mostly in C/C++ with bits of assembly here and there, it's yet one more dependency your users have to install.

No they're not. The mere possibility of boatloads of money changes people, the act of having money changes people. Having billions of it changes people. People aren't similar when it comes down to money, because everyone's money situation is different.
the author wanted it to be position-independent (PIC), so it works no matter what address the .text segment is loaded to and run.

> But in the end, convincing people to just not buy stuff would be the best thing to do. Companies that are trying to play both sides are suspect to me.

I sort of agreed with you, but only up to your conclusion. Imo, this kind of all or nothing outlook tends to let the dogmatic be the enemy of the pragmatic. I find it unrealistic and impractical. I also disagree with the notion that there might be a "side" that has some kind of monopoly on being genuine, because it claims some sort of purity of ideals. That's not the color of reality and you'll have to kill a lot of people to create that utopia, either before or after. Mobile phones are here to stay. If out of two companies, one spends its resources trying to convince people to stop using them, while the other just acknowledges the need and settles for nudging the culture toward repair rather than replace, I think the latter is the one being "real".

As for the company's financial and social incentives, I don't know Fairphone enough to know if what you implied would be true about them. I'd say that a company can aim for profitability and self-sustainability, and still hit all their other targets, including the environmental ones. Generally, it's when you aim for growth at all cost (e.g. you took some vc money) that all other objectives take a backseat or go the way of the door.
I have work colleagues who all buy one big bag of almond/brazil/cashews and some other nuts, each and share them with each other (they call themselves the 'Nuts share Nuts' group). Daily consuming a small amount for the nutritional intake. The paper says 200 microgams intake over 42 months led to these benefits which is about 2 brazil nuts of selenium a day. I'm going to sign up for the 'Nuts share Nuts' group.

This is a pet peeve of mine when people talk about the advantages of fusion, if you did all of the US power budget with DT fusion that would generate very close to 10 million moles of helium, or 4E7 grams of helium, or 2E8 liters at stp. This is a big number! but it's 2E5 cubic meters and annual US consumption of helium is 40E6 cubic meters, less than 1% of consumption.
I despise giving an endorsement to anything Dolan is associated with and can profit from as he is an awful and genuinely petty human, but the Sphere is a technology worth seeing.

I wasn't super impressed with the sphere's screen when I went in there with the thing turned off and saw the very steep stairs to the seats. It initially looked like a bigger movie screen.

But once it's on, with the right shot, it completely envelops your field of view and is quite mesmerizing. I'd love to see some action movies specifically shot for that screen. The way that it wraps around you and can potentially show you a full field of view in front of you and to the sides would be quite exciting for a chase or combat sequence for a movie.
> lots of good reasons to use rolling readout sensors

Like what? Just curious, but the only reason I know of is that they're cheaper, or you already have them.
This is a big problem with independent LLM testing. You need to make sure your test set isn't included in the training set which isn't easy with closed source models.

This makes me think of how hardware manufacturers optimize for benchmarks. Closed source LLMs can intentionally include likely test data in their training set to artificially inflate results. I'm not saying they are intentionally doing that now, but they could.
>They certainly aren't detecting mine, or are for some reason choosing not to show me the message.

If they can't detect your blocking then you would fall under case #1 above. If they can detect it but choose to allow it for whatever reason then it's not part of this discussion.

>In order for their customers to have any confidence that they are getting better value from allowing blocking, as the previous assertion, YouTube would have to convincingly prove that they can detect a large majority of blocking and therefore account for it in how they charge for impressions.

No, my assertion was that a site that doesn't forbid ad blockers should have a better conversion ratio than one that does, all else being equal, not a better ratio than another arbitrary one. Under the assumption that total_impressions = non_blocking_users * k:

total_impressions / non_blocking_users > total_impressions / (non_blocking_users + blocking_users)

This is true regardless of how large blocking_users is, both in absolute terms and compared to non_blocking users. Whether you can accurately measure blocking_users also doesn't matter.
I'm offering what worked for me. There's other stuff out there that might work, but I haven't tried. For example, I've heard folks talk about paxlovid working to alleviate symptoms, or using standard courses of antivirals, and so on. I'm here sharing my own experience.

If I've dismissed anyone, I sincerely apologize. That was not my intent.

When I say "it sucks, but you can make it through" my desire is to offer hope to a group of people - that I'm a part of - that often lacks hope given the severity of their symptoms.

As for efficacy, I'd invite you to look into mitochondrial dysfunction and how long covid is related. I'll note that a carb heavy diet is one of the ways to reboot energy production on the body, which can be potent for reducing fatigue.

I didn't spend much time looking, but your benchmark prompting inspired me to search your repo for "aider". The results were 3 PRs where aider was mentioned in the conversations [0].

The "code map" PR in particular mentions being "inspired by aider", links to aider and seems to include a bunch of code from aider's old ctags based "repo map" implementation. This isn't an insignificant component of an AI coding tool.

Aider is open source and I try and share my learnings as I'm building it. So it's great when other projects get inspiration from aider! But it is polite to provide attribution for such inspiration, especially if you crib from code with an attribution license.
