Show HN: Awakari that filters the Internet for you
Happy New Year everyone.

Almost 2 years ago I started to implement my idea of a Pub/Sub search service for humans.

Define your interest query once and stay tuned, Awakari will notify you once a matching event occurs. Track brands, jobs, whatsoever.

Not enough sources? Add your own source like RSS feed, Telegram channel, web site. More integrations coming soon, e.g. ActivityPub/WhatsApp or ML stage to label incoming images/videos.

The service is free for use and doesn't store any user data.
Opto-isolators don't transmit power per se. Since they use a phototransistor, it's more like they allow power to flow through from one pin to another, not provide a voltage across the pins.

I recently ran a little shootout between Superset, Metabase, and Lightdash — all open source with hosted options. All have nontrivial weaknesses but I ended up picking Lightdash.

Superset the best of them at data visualization but I honestly found it almost useless for self-serve BI by business users if you have existing star schema. This issue on how to do joins in Superset (with stalebot making a mess XD) is everything difficult about Superset for BI in a nutshell. https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/8645

Metabase is pretty great and it's definitely the right choice for a startup looking to get low cost BI set up. It still has a very table centric view, but feels built for _BI_ rather than visualization alone.

Lightdash has significant warts (YAML, pivoting being done in the frontend, no symmetric aggregates) but the Looker inspiration is obvious and it makes it easy to present _groups of tables_ to business users ready to rock. I liked Looker before Google acquired it. My business users are comfortable with star and snowflake schemas (not that they know those words) and it was easy to drop Lightdash on top of our existing data warehouse.
this is the current setup we use in my team but I am trying to move away for this to something more systematic.
For how long before those old vehicles are not practical? You will end up spending more in $$$ (or time) in the bodyshop than the car is worth. You will be rebuilding engines and transmissions. Sure it is possible to keep old cars working as daily drivers, but it is more cost effective to replace them after a while with something newer - modern assembly lines are very cheap ways to build something. (or course a car only a few years old is cheaper year)
I took a real cold shower yesterday for the first time. Lasted about 35 seconds, but honestly felt great for a couple hours afterwards. Couldn't bring myself to do it again today :D
I suspect this is the case for a lot of the recent influx of "do this to live longer" posts on here.

What I Learned Joining a Climate Civil Resistance Organization for 18 Months
In 2015 I wrote a whole Contact Management app for a business that let their entire sales team of like 50 reps pick up phone calls from the browser or from their desk phone using Twilios SIP trunk service. It was pretty cool, it routed the calls to both our internal Asterisk server, and worked flawlessly with Twilios WebRTC libraries in the web app. It was really cool and surprisingly easy, also all of the call recordings instantly became available in the web app and they could initiate calls from their call calendar in the app.

I learned Pascal on my Atari ST as a 18yo. I had already done commercial games for years in assembly for the ZX Spectrum and had learned m68k, but writing GUI programs for the ST in assembly seemed very annoying. Purchasing the compiler, though... was not really what happened.
Blockchain doesn't solve this problem, it moves it to a different environment. Instead of paying your son to mow the lawn you've invented an army of tiny robots who trundle out and clip one individual blade of grass before reporting back home.
Yeah, the existing FPGA device subsystem has been pretty much worthless for upstream kernels for years now and the lack of a good userspace API is a big reason, so in practice everyone just bitbangs the bitstream over some QSPI interface and pulls the reset manually. Hopefully this can see the light of day at some point.

Decision driven from bad data is IMO worse than data-less decision.

Data grants authority to a decision that gut feel driven one doesn't. It is hard to argue against evidence as it should be, but that assume a certain level of quality in the evidence.

Second, if practice doesn't match the expected outcome, the first thing you will look at is what the team is doing wrong, not review the decision as not working.

That said, parent is far from unique in his skepticism, so I think the problem is more often reversed in the industry. Having some data, even flawed can help your company decide to try something new.
This is that, but for old style websites. Enjoy!

This should answer your question: https://openai.com/blog/introducing-gpts

We’re rolling out custom versions of ChatGPT that you can create for a specific purpose—called GPTs. GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others.

Starting today, you can create GPTs and share them publicly. Later this month, we’re launching the GPT Store, featuring creations by verified builders. Once in the store, GPTs become searchable and may climb the leaderboards. We will also spotlight the most useful and delightful GPTs we come across in categories like productivity, education, and “just for fun”. In the coming months, you’ll also be able to earn money based on how many people are using your GPT.

> what people often don’t realize is just how fast one can pick up atwc style, and how hard it is to ever go back :)

For my own amusement I tried this a couple months ago and I 100% agree. I found my code to be more engaging to develop and understand (function names encoded into 3 chars, structure names encoded into 4 chars, primitive types are a capital letter, etc).

It is like a game you play with your brain to recall how your code works. And, it reminded me about studying 6809 assembly in college, where it was easy to memorize every instruction mnemonic and what it meant.

I just don’t know if I would show it to someone at work, but for my own prototypes and experiments, I like it.
So just data, but with small sample value, biased (since humans are inherently biased) and non filtered by a scientific method. How is that better than proper research?

Of course personal experience is very valuable, precisely because it's a (limited form of) research.

See my above comment. There's a huge difference between having a collision somewhere in a pile of 2^64 hashes, and actually having the colliding hashes ready to present.
This battle has already been raging in the film industry for decades. Technically, an independent film is anything financed independently of the major film distributors. This includes some very expensive effects-driven movies like Luc Besson's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which makes this definition not particularly useful to the average moviegoer.

So instead most people stick to a more loosely defined colloquial definition, rooted more in a film's budget and artistic aspirations, that often includes "indie-like" films from notable indie filmmakers, but financed directly by one of the major studios.
I don't know. I could be wrong. I interacted with cks in live chat on a daily basis for nearly 25 years. Mostly not over his website.

cks also gave me some other amazing ideas, such as cross-grading my system from 32 bit Ubuntu to 64 bit. That was an ordeal and a half, but I'm proud to say that I finally achieved that goal without any reinstalls, rollbacks, or data loss.
You've flipped A and B.

Current employee cost may be higher than revenue scaling with employees.
I'm not so sanguine. I see it as you can be mostly wrong, mostly correct, or very close to correct, for the software that you write and the customers it serves at a given point in time . Any of those choices are fine, so long as you know what you are getting into.

So for example if you are writing a CLI utility for the European market, you could probably get away with doing very little, it would be an ugly experience for, say, German users, but it would be quick. You could go to the next level, eg, supporting umlauts and ß, and that would have a big payoff. You could probably stop there. But if you were writing a utility to do OCR on ancient texts, you'd have to go full-bore and support everything..and you'd still be wrong on occasion.

It's just a question of economic tradeoffs being explicitly judged and thought about, and not assumed away.
> I'm a cinema person, so, for me, 24 fps is the right framerate for everything.

I have found that I like TVs using interpolation to achieve a higher FPS: it makes old movies feel more alive.

Some people have reported they don't like the high framerate, as it make them feel they are watching a TV series.

Smooth scrolling on the VT100 was 6 lines per second, but on later terminals you could adjust the speed to a certain degree, as much as 18 lines per second on the level 5 terminals. It's possible you'd still hate it even at that speed, but I wouldn't right it off completely just because you disliked the VT100 implementation.
On the contrary, the oblivious "chaotic neutral" wizard is a modern invention that subverts the classic conception of what a wizard is, and that's why it's funny. Historically and in most modern media, wizards are strongly associated with either good or evil. Just look at the Arthurian legend, and at Star Wars. Back then, there were Merlin and Morgana, and now, there are Darth Vader and Obi-Wan. There is a "light side" and "dark side" of the magic system in Star Wars; the magic itself is divided into parts which are almost moral agents themselves.

It is technology, not magic, which doesn't care about good and evil. The gun and the hammer can be used for good and evil equally, but "force lightning" was always used by the bad guys.
> Indie is not an aesthetic

I suppose, but it rolls off the tongue way better than "not triple-A", which I think is in the ballpark of what most people are shooting for when they use "indie" to indicate an aesthetic or vibe.

The technical status of a game or developer as independent is very rarely relevant to me, except as a signal that they are more likely to produce games that exhibit the "indie" vibe.
So, ant.care is intentionally designed to be a slow moving experience, goal is to have it unfold over real-world months, but until I get sufficient environmental depth it's going to feel weird. I give the user the ability to control time in sandbox mode to provide a practical means of demoing.

The queen will give birth to worker ants every hour or so. Worker ants have a low chance of applying tunnel/nesting pheromones when they are surrounded by other ants. So, when your colony grows to a few worker ants then they'll start digging more tunnels and chambers to give themselves space. Food is taken from the surface and brought into the nest and has a higher probability of being dropped near other food which allows for food piles to form over time.

Ants go to sleep at night (not realistic, but I thought it was cute) and, if they're well fed, can regurgitate food to other hungry ants (like the queen, who can't move once giving birthing). They'll emote when these things occur.

And oops, yeah crater view shouldn't be live. I forgot I shipped an update live to debug iOS performance (works on iphones now without crashing!). The goal is to get a "top-down" view and to let ants leave the nest to forage for food, but have been struggling with architecture issues blocking me from it for a while.
If "type bugs are an obvious thing and happen all the time" and "static Typing reduces type related bugs" then it should be easy to demonstrate this empirically. However, "a review of all the available literature (up to 2014), show[s] that the solid research is inconclusive while the conclusive research had methodological issues."
A lot of the types of formal methods that Hillel Wayne (the author) writes about are the opposite of what you describe—you write a specification which is provably correct, and then it's up to you to translate that specification into code. The error-prone part is the translation more than the specification.

It amounts to the same thing: it takes a long time to develop, the specification can get out of sync with the code, and once out of sync you now have no provable characteristics of the new system.

Though this does make me wonder: If there exist some formal methods that can prove that code implements a standard, and others that can prove that the standard is correct, it seems like there ought to be something in the middle that can prove both.
Funding is a bit of a red herring since there are plenty of "indie" developers/studios producing games with funding of all kinds (kickstarter, presales, even VC, etc).

My opinion as someone actively working in the field is simple: an indie game is a game where the creator(s) of the game have full control over its vision.

Funding is adjacent in that those who've funded are the most likely ones to be able to exert control over the finished product, but funding is the enabler, not the result.

As soon as the creator(s) of the game start to sacrifice their vision of the game in favor of stakeholder demands, it very quickly falls out of that "indie" category for me.

FWIW, her career has not been ended, only her presidency at Harvard. She's still a tenured faculty member there, and there's a decent chance she'll end up as an administrator at a different institution someday.

I understand the desire to break down the differences between different types of plagiarism, but when we're talking about the president of a top institution, is it really too much to ask that the individual not have engaged in any of them, dozens of times?

That is, homosexual behavior is not hereditable if it is pure and lifelong. Those who engage in heterosexual behavior before discovering/deciding/whatever that they are not hetero have the chance of passing on their DNA.
Just not my experience I guess. No upsells, never a 30 minutes wait. I haven't owned a car in 15 years so renting is pretty normal for me and almost always effortless.

Maybe try someone other than Avis.
Yeah, I wouldn't really get one if I had to go >350 miles on anything but extraordinarily rare occasions. But I have owned cars that fit that usage model really well.

I used to have a "second" car that was used as a commuter. It would only very rarely go on trips, and even then only up to ~300 miles.

If it had been an EV, it would likely have been more like a primary car, but the gas car would have been the backup for long trips.

The flip side of this point is for non-trivial distances the people in the ICE vehicles with 400+ mile ranges mostly invariant to speed only now begin to realize how amazingly convenient it is to only have to stop for < 10 minutes every 5-6 hours or so.

Do people who think the only use of a vehicle is the home-work-supplies circuit? Don't you ever take a weekend off and go out of town? You really want to deal with the whole rental car scenario when you're supposed to be off? Or, oh well, I'm just gonna commit to spending a good chunk of my time on this vacation sitting around twiddling my thumbs at a charging station. I got an acquaintance who drove a decaying Tesla with <200 mile range from Atlanta to NYC and back and then bragged to me "it wasn't that bad". Yeah, I was polite.

Lotsa magical thinking going on here. And I haven't even pointed out that in vast swathes of the country the rental car option isn't even remotely convenient.

Years ago, Bell Labs once developed a fiber-optic telephone handset that obtained all its power over the fiber from the central office. A comment was that the audio wasn't that hard, but the bell was really tough.

Do you really think that the people who worked on this study didn't consider your knee-jerk level-1 confounding factor? Obviously they look socioeconomic status into account when they were studying all-cause mortality, what study wouldn't?
Can't remember who said it, I think probably Rami Ismall? But I can't find the source. Something like: "If there is another person, company or entity that while not actually working on the game, can significantly change the course of that work - that is not an indie game".

Basically, indies should be in control of their own destiny. This seems like a very reasonable definition to me.
I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. There's a large grey area in the formal methods space where general software engineering thrives (in my opinion). Especially the "lightweight formal method" variety. I doesn't go for complete proofs, but instead pursues a style of exhaustive (or something that approximates it) checking. Going down this route puts a very positive design pressure on your applications as well as your thinking in general.

The big pay off in formal methods is learning to think abstractly (imho). Even if you don't make a full blown model, sketching out the problem in something like TLA+ can be extremely valuable just by forcing you to think about the modeling independently of code. Even in the world of general software engineering, being able to reframe requirements as temporal invariants has felt something like a super power.

Not really, because I always maintain at least a few clients so I'm not too worried about losing one. Once you have a solid pipeline, losing a client becomes just part of the business, not the scary emotional experience of "getting fired".
