Nah, they do their little dirty tricks all the time.

For example they decide which hotels/restaurants to show in an area when you search. They won't show all of the nearby ones. They might show one that is 5km away and not one that is 100m away.

Once I was in a restaurant that was not in maps. I decided to add it to the map when I was home.

Turned out the place was in their database, but they just decided to NOT show it, even at maximum zoom level over it. But when I added it, they asked if it wasn't that other one that already existed.

Moral of the story: use openstreetmaps.
Right I’ve noticed that too. It’s like it takes a pause and reevals. Definitely feels like a cache or memoization of token paths. Interesting.

Every OSM-based mapping programming I’ve used handles it basically fine. Considering the amount of resources Google has, I find your claim pretty ridiculous. Google is actively choosing to hide street names and actively choosing not to provide an option to override that. This is quite clearly a business decision of some kind. They could certainly do this if they chose to.

This is such a case of a bad-comment that seems clever and insightful. It boils down to saying we don't need to debate or even consider the content of his arguments because we can assume he's only motivated by prestige and money (but without considering the second-order effects on his credibility and funding if he actually turns out to be proven substantially wrong in the future).

I don't know how right or wrong he is - none of us do. That's why it's all still being debated.

The one thing I know is that we can only truly understand a topic by fully understanding arguments for and against all the claims. I also know the pro-LLM set have way more money (double-digit billions as we saw just this week) and credibility to lose over this topic than Gary Marcus does.
Very roughly: where the future business is coming from, what the future capabilities should be, how a new organisation should look like, what change can actually be accomplished, how to manage that change, required skills & infrastructure, how to get them. Then there is a whole legal ans compliance arc somewhere.

Only when the change is small and local is it getting close to a math thing, but a large rollout of technology is a big thing already today.
Why if you look for "restaurants" it will show you a restaurant that is 5km away and not one that is 100m away (but is indeed in the db)?

I remember every technology they said was going to revolutionize the world. But the only revolution I have seen is in entertainment and warfare, and I guess turn by turn navigation. Everything else is the same as it has been for over half a century. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change what it is.
Here's the U.S. Naval Academy's guide to the rules of the road.[1] Section C has the lights. For most ships and boats, it's reasonably simple - red, green, and white visible in 120 degree arcs, with white visible from the rear, plus a high white masthead light for some vessels. The complicated cases mostly involve work boats doing something - fishing, cable-laying, towing, etc.- where there is a hazardous area around the vessel and movements are restricted.

So is our brain. “Model” by definition is an approximation of something else (or the thing we’re modeling… it’s a very overloaded term all right).

But if you think you can use this “realization” to dismiss AI or claim what it can or cannot do… you’re missing the forest for the trees.

That’s a lot of words to say something like “if an LLM asks you to execute some code it could be dangerous”.

Not all hypotheticals justify great efforts in prevention.

Unlike AGI, nuclear weapons are not hypothetical in their existence.

On Y2K you can certainly ask if the efforts put into prevention were disproportionate to the risks.
Ah, I see. By "sign-magnitude" I just meant that the sign and the magnitude are stored independently, and I think that's the usual usage of the term; I wouldn't expect "a sign-magnitude format" to mean one where you can use sign-magnitude integer comparison.

“Follow the money” is _not_ a cynical interpretation. I’d go so far as to say that ignoring the money is entirely naive.
This is a common thing to say for folks who are really good at low level C/C++. You guys know too much, seen horrors no one should have ever seen and came out alive on the other side.

The problem is, the things you needed to do to stay alive in this environment are antipatterns in Rust and you’ve learned the hard way Rust actively opposes being fed Rust antipatterns.

Self referential data structures are some of the hardest problems in CS to get right. There are patterns that work with Rust which replace pointers with eg generational indexes. You’ll find people do the same thing in C++ once they get burnt one time too many. I think you’d have a very different experience if you approached your system with an ECS framework, either off the shelf or roll your own.
Actually, due to parallel execution they are not running deterministically. Even if the temperature is zero some randomness is left in. You can run a model deterministically, but this is incredibly slow.

It's the reality of many families all over the world, so, yes, you can if you want to I think is what the article is suggesting.

I don't think the list is meant to be a "you must do these things" list, it's more to say "yes, you can absolutely do this if you want to, there is no cosmic force that stops you if _this is what you want_. I get your comment was incredulous towards an idea which isn't want you would want for yourself and your family, but my understanding is that the author's intent was to share their own realization that just because the things on their list are sometimes considered unusual or not normal doesn't mean you're forbidden from doing them. I think the author's point is more "you should not needlessly exclude valid options" as you're finding out what you really want to do in any element of life.

So your statement of incredulity is understood, sure -- you wouldn't want this right for yourself and your family at this time. The point is that if it is something you and your family wanted to do and could do, then the fact that it's not common for families to be nomadic shouldn't be a reason why you don't do it.
LVMH is very very far from being a monopoly. Luxottica is under investigation currently just like the tech giants are (and received already fines just like 2 years ago). De Beers was the target of antitrust multiple times, had to cancel a few deals and change some commercial practises because of it. Could have gone further IMO but at the same time the consequences on consumers are limited given how niche a market vs the tech sector.
You've missed the subtle point here.

Institutionally, this is not supportable because it's "only affecting 4% of users and that's not many". Close ticket, move on.

Only it's everyone named Dave. 100% of the people born to this earth with parents who named them Dave are, for absolutely no discernable reason, denied and oppressed.

I occasionally update the webview thing to hopefully not get hacked (doesn't matter much, samsung isn't diligent with the base system anyway).

We almost had it in OS/2, I guess many aren't aware that Smalltalk was kind of ".NET for OS/2" during its heyday.

Hence why it is a first party on SOM (OS/2 COM version), and SOM does support metaclasses.

But then OS/2 went as we all know, and with IBM's backing of Java, Visual Age products turned into Eclipse.

> UX consists of annoying forced zooming around during menu/UI navigation.

This is extremely irritating. The fact that turning your phone sideways and then back doesn’t take you back to your original position is just amateur hour. The fact that turning it sideways doesn’t keep the map centered is amateur hour.

Personally I’d like to see an option to just turn off auto zoom entirely except as a result of an explicit search. Google maps _always_ gets it wrong. I am zoomed in on an area and click that I want to start a walking trip and it zooms out and shows the whole city. I mean seriously is anyone an Google actually testing their product? I understand that it’s not actually a map app and instead an app meant for car navigation and advertisement of POI, but seriously just allow some options to override things like auto zoom or an option to actually display road names densely, and they’d have an actual map app again.

Show HN: MesoSim – DSL for Options Trading
Hello,

I quit my engineering job in 2021 to fully focus on trading.
After a year of limited success with stocks (algos floating around break-even) I started studying Options.

It turned out that selling options (risk premia harvesting) is a sound approach for income generation.
Back in the day there were no suitable automated backtesters to effectively study these trades, so I built one:
I infused JSON with Lua to create a Job Definition which models how Options Traders build, adjust and hedge their positions.

Fast forward to today, many retail traders and small hedge funds are using MesoSim on a daily basis.
They executed over 120k backtests with strategies frequently reaching (and exceeding) Sharpe Ratio of 3.
You can also try it after a free signup

I'm doing my best to provide educational material via blog posts on public income trades, such as:

- The weekend effect: https://blog.deltaray.io/the-weekend-effect

- Volatility Hedged Theta Engine: https://blog.deltaray.io/volatility-hedged-theta-engine

- NetZero Trade: https://blog.deltaray.io/netzero-trade

- and more under our strategy library: https://github.com/deltaray-io/strategy-library

As of today the live part is running as a private beta and targeting to fix the annoyances around these complex instruments.

Tech details:
The solution is created using C# with Blazor as I prefer not to touch JS or TS.
When I started I knew very little about C#, and nothing about blazor and dotnet (I'm a linux person).
I have no regret choosing these technologies.
During the process I also fell in love with Lua, a language I'll definitely use in the future.

Please check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for your kind feedback!
No meaning full gun deaths? Canada has around 300 per year and it’s slowly going up.

Adjusted for population, that would be around 4000 per year in the US. I’d say that’s a meaningful number even if the US reduced gun deaths to be on par with other developed countries.

That’s about the same number of people who die each year due to chronic kidney disease.
> even as an under level

> Had to take 2 years off for health issues

Either of these by themselves could explain your issues. Most employers don't hire people "under level" because that leads to the person being unhappy and quitting. Sometimes they also need a higher salary than the position offers.

Having a 2-year gap is a very big issue though. It's not fair, but it's a strong bias people have when hiring.
Because when someone makes it, the NSA comes knocking.
It's not complicated, it's right where it should be, it just has a label that somehow manages to be both highly correct in a technical sense and completely unintuitive to anyone who doesn't already know what it's called.
I used to pay for premium but I stopped just incase they thought ramming shorts and ‘people also watched” videos on me was the reason I was paying.
Same! I even have them framed behind my screen where I can peek from time to time. Even after so many years, I can't remember which ones are "justify" and which ones are "align", lol.
No, I did not. The fact that somebody somewhere wrote "You consent to ...." doesn't mean I actually consented.
It is just one person leaving Google, but still planning to work on flutter.
I am still salty that "Flutter" used to be the name of an software that let you control your media players using gestures captured via your webcam. Then Google acquired it[0], gutted the project and only kept the name. I guess it will be meeting the same end.

> CEO is making about as much as a principal Google engineer

From a company living from donations... It is illusion (probably a California thing), to think that you are going to compete salary wise with FAANG. The time will tell (well their complaining about money, is already hinting it)...
It might be relevant but I just don't have the patience for his laid back overly long presentation. Is anyone willing to summarize it?
I believe California was much less regulated as you go back in time. Once a hotspot has started it might persist even into conditions that would have choked it early on.
I have a hard time being happy about it. A lot of people - including me - find pride in solving problems, and selling this as a valuable skill. When it's no longer the case, when the only valuable skill becomes just being a presence in the physical world an act on it (but without the problem solving part), it will really feel like we are enslaved by the AIs.

In a sense, we kind of already are already, since out internet feed is (for most apps with recommendation algorithms) just spoonfed to us, rather than the product of our own search.

To be honest, I wish the progress will stop and that AGI won't happen. That possibility scares me.
Ask HN: All LOTR books narrated by Tolkien AI
There are a few great recordings of Tolkien - some interviews and clips of him reading passages from his books.

There are short clips of ai Tolkien reading his works, one was modelled on his interviewee tone which differs from his reading voice/cadence.

What would it take to get a voice model of JRR to narrate his works? Or is this dubious at best?

> For a rigid road bike aluminum can definitely be made stronger and lighter,

Absolutely. What I meant was that while an aluminum bike frame can be lighter than steel, it's not as much lighter than steel than you'd expect. Steel bike frames tend to be only ~15% heavier than aluminum, not 50%.

Personally I bought a steel road because the difference in weight vs the aluminum alternative was small enough that I decided to go with the bike that looked nicer, and would last longer. Besides, I could use to lose a lot more weight than any bike ever could...
