Show HN: I created a checkbox Conway's Game of Life. For some reason
Things like this for those who don't know how it's done, who isn't familiar with the particular algorithm - explained briefly in the view - surely look like a kind of magic :) .

Well done!
I don't think we know enough about how computation relates to proof fidning to be able to say. While (sufficiently well specified) proof verification is pretty clearly a computation, creating a new proof is less clear. Given that the space of possible proofs is infinite, I don't think a brute force approach is possible even for a nondeterministic algorithm, so I don't think that, even if P=NP were the truth we would have a clear reason to expect to find a proof of this.
First time I've heard the No True Rich Man argument. I will have to keep that one in the back pocket. Truly an innovative way to spin luxury spending as a virtue.
I took the poster to mean people in general, as in those who think of AI as defined by Hollywood, not the people who actually work in AI.
One step closer to Seaquest DSV.
No. This is entirely irrelevant to the problem of P vs NP.

The differential in the US has more to do with immigration patterns, and I think that will continue for awhile. Most immigration to the US is family reunification, with H1B being second. Lots of relatively higher class Indians and Pakistanis came here as doctors and engineers. Meanwhile lots of Bangladeshis came here as cab drivers and hospitality workers. I suspect that will be self-perpetuating for awhile.
I’m extremely interested as well but the article talks about so much other stuff than the headline. In decades of whale communication research no one has thought to play whale sounds at whales to see what happened, or is this just the first time one has responded? What does “matching intervals” mean? He matched their greeting, I’m meant to assume, which I guess could qualify as “conversation” but the researchers still don’t really know what information was exchanged, right?
Yes and in Europe nobody cares about money or profit. That's why there is constant derailment there too. Ohhh wait.

There are a huge amount of accidents that have to do with bad infrastructure maintenance and bad signaling.

> if you operate the trains that way.

Yes, if you have badly maintained infrastructure and you run badly maintained trains on it, its gone cause issue.
I've completed both nand2tetris and Turing Complete. A note about differences:

- TC only goes up to the level of writing programs in assembly, while nand2tetris has you build layers of abstraction on top of that so you can program in a Java-like language. In fact, TC doesn't give you "assembly code" at all, you just implement binary instructions, and they leave it to you to decide your own mnemonics for each byte of the 4-byte instructions (on the second computer you implement).

- TC lets you make more of the decisions yourself regarding architecture, like how to address memory.

One thing I didn't like about TC is that, when doing the projects to build the (second) computer, it doesn't regression test. When you implement new opcodes, you can be credited for completing the level, even though you broke the previous ones you implemented, and you might not realize it until several projects later, when your computer doesn't work.
What sort of community?
Never owned a "server" per say, but I used to build and sell computers in highschool, right out of my locker or the back of my rusted-out Chevy. Also bought and resold air guns and pellets out of my locker too, I was cyberpunk before I knew what that was.

It took me a long time to get internet access because my dad spent a lot of time on the phone, and I could only dialup at really short intervals which were better for BBSing. I was in university before I really had a chance to internet.
People seem to think that’s an excessive valuation. I’m tempted to disagree—not that it’s high (it’s stratospheric) but that it makes sense.

1. People seem to think they don’t have a moat: They likely have more talent than anyone else in the industry. Any one joining also expect that being an alumni is almost a guarantee to start another company with a billion-valuation series A; that might hurt retention, but not attraction. They have more data because they got it before everyone closed the hatches in reaction to their product; they now have the most varied interactions with users, collecting more; their partnership with Microsoft, which owns GitHub, gives them access to all the code. It’s the first company that could stick it to Google on its own turf and stay credibly in the lead for a year after that. There’s a high chance they will be replaced, but they do have more of a moat than anyone.

2. The quality of the product: it is essentially plug-and-play for most use cases, and after a year of recurrent innovations, I suspect they have a lot more coming.

3. Business model: so far, it’s $20/m/p. paid for and adopted by millions overnight. Anyone using it says it’s worth ten to a hundred times more. They are selling compute at scale, and the comparison is with human white-collar labor.

There’s a lot to be said about the expectations at that price: they’d have to grow fifty-fold and then some to justify it. Still, it’s not entirely unthinkable, not the way over-priced flexible real-estate or over-complicated juicing pouches have been.
I'm of the opinion there aren't a lot of good alternative ideas circulating. There's been some work in a design pattern libraries but it's hard to design new features from the outside, and I don't think until very recently people saw starting a rival social network as a good business move, since social networks are defined by their network effect moat. Twitter's meltdown has created some opportunity but it remains to be seen if the attack of the clones is just a fracturing versus a cambrian event.
I have all my important documents in a folder called "Documentation". OneDrive decided to sync these to OneDrive. I took my laptop out, no wifi. Oh look, all the documents are fucking gone! No problem, I'll uninstall OneDrive. Oh great. They're permanently gone. Fucking terrible product. Don't produce products that are worse than not having the product in the first place!
Terrible article.

The crucial info that's missing from the article is that they used AI to translate whale language to human, and then from human to whale again.

So there was, in fact, a conversation, mediated by AI; a lot like using Google Translate to talk to a whale.

Wait for a better article on it.
I stopped counting at 50. My number is "significantly more than 50". I asked ChatGPT; it didn't know. Too many for ChatGPT to count.

(My mom has a Brady Bunch family that combined two large Irish Catholic households; I count 13 on my dad's (Slovak) side).
I don't know if I totally agree with this. Maybe it's not nearly as bad as how the article frames it but just doing a Google image search of "landfills of old PCs" returns some pretty convincing images.
You do. I promise. Think how radically different different situations can make you feel, especially long-term situations. Then quit your job. What’s the worst that could come from taking a child’s advice on the internet?!
Via heavy use of the ”Hide|Show Less|Not Interested” button I’ve managed to get youtube recommendations surprisingly relevant, and a big surprise was facebook reels, which started as complete junk, and is now an astonishing mix of science (startalk, Tom Scott, Physics Girl, colour theory) and nature videos. It’s arguably the most relevant “tv” I’ve ever seen. I suspect curation on Twitter is solvable, but neither Twitter nor its clones have successfully done it yet.
Home invasion specifically means while someone is home, otherwise, it's just a burglary. I should know. I was home. So what ever the rest of your lengthy retort says, I'll never know because it's clearly started from an ill informed position and would be a waste of anyone's time
It’s probably my paranoia but I assume something will go wrong with the network at the conference where I’m presenting. I usually have multiple types of backups.
Thank you, I was really hoping this was the case, this is a pet topic of interest of mine.
This post reminds me about a similar but different K8s Turned-Out-To-Be-DNS problem we had recently. We published a write-up about it but never got around to submitting it here before now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38740112
> Why should efficient lending decisions somehow be uniquely hard to make in a large corporation with many local branch offices?

Easy. When you only exist in for example Manhattan, you don't have to deal with divergence laws against Calif, because you just not in Calif.

But when you have branches in NY and in Calif, laws just prohibited you to make different decisions for NY and Calif - all MUST be SAME.
My wife got scammed. They opened a bank account in her name tied to her email address. She contacted that bank right away. For 2 months she received messages about other people transferring money into this account. These were other people getting scammed. The wheels turn too slowly.
> don't really get why it should matter where they came from.

Evaluating the reliability and veracity or mendacity of a source is an important first step in assessing the importance of any accusation or claim. That's basic due diligence.
This method will work but will require a large grid and consequently be quite slow. And order of magnitude or two faster than this is possible if you are clever.
GPUs can't scale single user performance beyond a certain limit. You can throw 100s of GPUs at it but the latency will never be as good.
This is cool, it kind of reminds me of stashpad.com too.

Thanks, impressive full-stack work.
I'm sure this was named long before Musk decided to set 44B and change on fire but at first I confused it with Twitter's own LLM thing.
A pet whale topic?
Beautiful comment, I really enjoyed reading it!
Clickjacking is where you perform a click on some element, but actually the click event is caught by a different element, typically laid transparently above the thing you think you're clicking on. The click can be detected by the attacker, despite you not getting the event, by making your visible underlying layer have focus and look for the onblur event to fire.

What OP found is cool. I've also used RTL characters to make screensaver files (so just normal executables with a different extension in Windows) that looked like Word documents, I forgot why, maybe to prank a friend or teacher or so. OP has gone one step further and found a way to alter the displaying on another system. I'm not sure what this is called, though it's not clickjacking (the Wikipedia page OP links to in the article lede confirms that) because the user doesn't mistake which element they're clicking on, they mistake where a link will lead. I've also never seen a clickjacking being abused in practice, but what OP found I can imagine will be abused!

Honestly I've long given up on users being able to tell which domain they'll end up on when clicking a link. A majority doesn't understand the concept anyway, and the remainder can't tell. Those who think they can tell (such as yours truly) end up getting frustrated when all links go to sendgrid.tld/j3ovi3bfogobbledypoop93jnri2o. We're training people to click random tracking obfuscated fishy looking garbage every day and nobody bats an eye at it
Ask HN: Most unique usages of LLMs/Generative AI you've seen?
Everyone's been trying to sell shovels and build a platform. Most of the diggers have been Big Tech companies with existing platforms slapping on tools/chat-bots/autocompletes.

What's the most interesting usage you've seen?

Mine is using it to auto-transcribe doctor visits with patients to automate generating patient notes. When it works, it saves doctors a lot of paperwork.
To be clear, I'm not even complaining about it being React Native. For sure you can do better with React.

I believe the new Discord client is RN and works fine for me.
Google's own benchmarking shows that Gemini Pro is just slightly better than GPT 3.5 and Gemini Ultra is comparable to GPT 4 (see their technical paper).

Microsoft just paid $76M for a Wisconsin pumpkin farm
Yeah and I'm sure they are paying for all the police, firefighter, cleanup and all the other issues caused. And they don't have to really pay for delay on Amtrak lines either.

They are systematically devaluing vital infrastructure to increase short term profit and have done the bare minimum of investment. Systematically devaluing vital infrastructure in the country.

For the US not to treat the railroads as a strategic infrastructure is borderline insane.
the article reads like a press release talking about how innovative and exciting their product is for dozens of paragraphs, but never actually giving details about what the product is
Lately a lot of these seem to be actually generated with LLMs. You can usually tell from the high school essay structure, often ending with a paragraph along the lines of "in conclusion there are many benefits but also many drawbacks".
My ISP, in New Hampshire, Fidium, does not list IPv6 anywhere on their website. I asked the tech installing it. He told me no one uses it.

So, he cleared that up I guess.
How would you detect and track somebody with a faraday bag?
we're in a golden era of home servers really. You can pick up affordable refurbed servers like this, or just run a mini PC. The amount of performance per dollar and per watt is incredible.

I encourage everyone to run their own services. Some stuff I've run
* Social Media automation with Puppetter
* Smokeping network monitoring
* Flan for network security scanning
* PiHOle / AdGuard DNS Home blockers

Get a Pi, a NUC or Beelink Mini PC for ~ $50-$150 and you can run a dozen VMs or docker images.
They're trying to build a regulatory moat. On the off chance they can scare enough people in Congress, open-source models will get restricted and everyone will have to pay money to the big companies to make use of AI.
Which was one step derived from the dolphin in Johnny Mneumonic!
Do you work there? Just curious
That was not the current WebGPU. It was essentially a different API proposed by Apple at the start of the standardization process. The final standard has little in common.
I wouldn't say they're the first to get most CSS features. Usually just things that are more visual, like color spaces and theming. They still drag their feet on a lot of features, but they are getting better.
Being able to view individual posts, even if there is no public feed, is really important if people are going to post things that may get picked up by other media channels.

As someone who doesn’t use Twitter, my biggest gripe with Twitter right now is that 70% of the time I will click a link or search result to see a single post and I’m greeted with a giant X telling me to login or sign up. I simply leave, and think Twitter is a worse as worse site every time I run into that. It’s a move that reeks of desperation and makes me not want to sign up. I should feel compelled to make an account if I want to follow someone or post something, not just to read a single post. I’m not sure how they expect to grow when they hide what’s inside and word of mouth is largely negative. Walled gardens have their place, but it’s not the “town square” Elon has been taking about. In the town square I can walk through and overhear conversations without identifying myself or joining in.
Bluesky has a 300 character limit, Mastodon has 500, non-Mastodon ActivityPub servers have a configurable limit. Mastodon can render markdown, has subject lines which are commonly used as content warning tags, can translate posts. It supports custom emoji and non-Mastodon ActivityPub servers support custom emoji reactions. Bluesky has more discovery features like community-curated lists and algorithmic suggestions of who to follow.
Out of sheer curiosity, why did you make an account for this thread?
Bangladeshi John von Neumann is probably going to be discriminated against by DEI policies because Asians are overrepresented is most tech companies. When I attended a career fair at Dropbox, Asian male applicants were marked with "ND" on their resumes. I later found out this stood for "negative diversity". Asian males are even worse than white males in the DEI policies used by most of the companies I've worked at.

The thing that most people don't like to talk about is, at many tech companies Black, Latin, and white people are underrepresented in tech roles. The only race that is overrepresented is Asians. And if the goal is equity, you can connect the dots.
Americans are not healthier; they are more obese and are losing life expectancy.
ZX Spectrum BASIC. Numbers could only be 8 digits, needed more for a Spacemaster RPG ship designer program I wrote for my friends. Came up with storing values as strings and splitting/manipulating them as numbers when required. About fifteen years old. Probably the smartest thing I have ever written, grin.
This is why p2p will always be superior to federation. I don't want others making decisions for me.

I'm okay with consuming an upstream block/filter list, but I ultimately want executive control over it.
I'd definitely believe $1T based on the hype. It depends on how far out the Trough of Disillusionment is though.
> designing new feature ideas for twitter and twitter-like products

Which is not the same as "innovating with UX" in any way that is incompatible with the status quo.

Going by your blog post, do you agree that it is not something that (by itself) a feature so innovative that would make people drop twitter to favor a new social network that implemented it?
> my wife with iphone pops up browser, I pop up mine with firefox and ublock origin. Internet is utterly useless and horrible place on her phone, while completely fine on mine (plus I get youtube ads blocking as a bonus)

I recently set up NextDNS on my iPhone and browsing the web has become much more usable (previously, I would get webpage crashes!). Something to look into in addition to or instead of Wipr.
Now we need to expand on what “stress” can cover, for the very diverse set of humans on this planet (it’s a long list - even just being too warm or cold for too long!).

Also, I mentioned pretty specifically why it’s pretty difficult, even in retrospective studies, to link the symptom with the Active status in blood work - were you uncompelled by this, disagree for some reason?
The “last two” it’s referring to are AT&T and Discovery. I’m not sure why the headline calls out just those two; it’s not like the merger with AOL wasn’t disastrous as well.
FWIW, this side of Bluesky definitely exists but if you're diligent about curating your follows and avoiding certain custom feeds this type of content is pretty easy to avoid. There is no blackbox algorithm blasting rage bait onto your timeline.

Depending on how you build your social graph, your experience can run the gamut of anything from peak political Twitter to peak pedantic Mastodon. It's up to you.
I don't believe it much matters. The death stats on oxycodone are staggering. I'm sure the street drugs are much more dangerous dose-for-dose, but given free access to oxycodone, you're just as likely to die, perhaps on a marginally longer schedule (there are survivor high-functioning maintenance addicts on both natural and synthetic/street opioids, obviously). Remember as well that a great many street fentanyl deaths were pts started on regulated, labeled opioids who spun off into addiction; they transitioned to fentanyl because it was easier to get, not because it was stronger.
I’ve found ddg is much better than google, but switched to kagi, which is better still.

For queries that fail on kagi, I check ddg and google, but it never helps.

Kagi’s FastGPT works well on queries where the search engines fail, but is worse at search on average.
interestingly, it puts us in a room adjacent to that of a famous thought experiment from philosophy, John Searle's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room
> None of these have actually been used for grid storage.

So what? As is clearly implicit to the meanest intellect in my comment above these are alternatives that are being built right now after having already passed pilot testing and now being scaled up for grid storage.

> A very realistic outlook for wind and solar is that we

overproduce during daytime here in Australia, have sufficient wind through much of the night to tick over, and use the excess to produce green hydrogen, ammonia, methonal, etc to buffer nighttime demand and for use in mining, transport and agriculture.
That took way too long, but I already consider Bluesky dead, they had the chance but the stupid "invite-only" system killed it (in my opinion) and then when invites actually started getting sent out I just didn't bother anymore and went back to Twitter
Indeed.
We seem to assume semiconductors and computers are unlimited.
It is just not practical to use your dog, a raven, or yourself as a Turing complete machine.
You can't run Google on your Dog or yourself.

Hence, keeping "unused" electronics around might be wise, given the so called "unpredictable future" and supply chain interruptions.

Arguably, old and slow tech is still better than having nothing, as you do not have to do these boring computations by hand.
It is time for us to mature past primitive ideas like “anything you post on the internet can be used by anyone for anything so be careful what you post!”

People should be free to post knowing that anyone who abuses their content will be suitably punished.
Very few opioids kill by underdose.
Sure, there are even more caveats.

I should note though that big-O is not technically an upper bound on program execution time (worse case scenario), you can use big-O to refer to the best case scenario or the average case. Big-O is a notation for fhe upper bound of a function in general (e.g. f(x) = x^2 + 70x + 9 is in O(x^2)).

I think it's reasonable in this kind of case to assume we are speaking about the average-case complexity, though it's true that many think of worse case, taking the upper bound of the upper bound of the number of execution steps.
