thank you! i didn't know clisp had a jit compiler, and i certainly should have thought of abcl, and also you mentioned them in your other comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38933091

how much of a performance boost does abcl get from the hotspot jit compared to, say, interpreted clisp
Torrent sounds like a good idea in this situation.
>I understand the hesitancy around natural drugs

FTFY. The amount of psychoactive pharmaceutical drugs cooked up by big companies is immense. It seems to be a slow process for natural substances, because there's no money in that and it can't really be patented to maximize profits.
For discussion purposed just a few historical fiat currencies, since your confidence in USD seems a bit overblown, especially for a currency whose issuer is now spending more on interest payments than their military, an indicator of possible future instability as a store of value.

1. German Weimar Republic (Germany) - The German Mark, introduced in 1924 after World War I, was originally intended to replace the hyperinflated German Papiermark. However, the Great Depression and military reparations led to massive deficit spending, resulting in hyperinflation starting around 1921. By 1923, one US dollar equaled approximately 4.2 trillion Reichsmarks.

2. French Revolutionary Franc (France) - After the French Revolution in the late 18th century, France's new revolutionary government issued the assignats, which were paper money used as part of a monetary reform program. Initially, these notes held value due to their being backed by goods such as grain; however, excessive printing eventually led to severe hyperinflation between 1796 and 1797, where prices rose exponentially.

3. Hungarian Pengő (Hungary) - Introduced in 1946, the Hungarian pengő suffered from rampant inflation due to economic mismanagement and Marshall Plan aid exchange rates. Between 1945 and 1946, the exchange rate for one US dollar was set at HUF 52, but due to various factors, including nationalization, hyperinflation reached an estimated 44 quadrillions to the US dollar by 1946.

4. Zimbabwean Dollar (Zimbabwe) - Succeeding the British colonial Rhodesian dollar, Zimbabwe adopted its own fiat currency, the Zimbabwean dollar, upon independence in 1980. Hyperinflation began in the mid-1970s, and by November 2004, it had become virtually worthless, forcing the country to abandon it.

5. Mexican Peso (Mexico) - Following the Mexican-American war, Mexico faced significant debt. To finance the national debt, a silver peso coin was minted. Despite its initial value, hyperinflation struck, and by the late 19th century, the Mexican peso became almost worthless. Numerous attempts at currency stabilization failed until the introduction of the "El Banco" gold standard in 1914.
A good example of something I was doing today. Taking some text and formatting it as a markdown table with proper spacing. Copilot made it super to highlight the line, type out what I wanted, then kept moving on. Manually it was lots of adding spaces, deleting spaces, and adding |s.
The human brain is trained on copyright material. The human brain can also be monetized. And the human brain is not open source. I don't see why artificial brains should be treated differently.
How do you verify that the explanation is 100% correct? For all I know answers are 100% hallucinated, with most parts coinciding with reality but some not. A non expert (me) cannot tell which parts happen to be the accurate ones.

I use phind which summarizes an answer and provides references for each statement. Much better.
Would love to know which soaps are good and which are bad, and also why hot temperatures help - I would have assumed that high temperatures stress the components more than low temperatures.
PTSD is generally indicated for people experiencing situations that involve say trauma rather than distressing. However, enough exposure to distressing might be considered trauma.

Anyway, this is all arse backwards: You start off with a diagnosis of PTSD based on symptoms and try to work out causation, through diagnosis. You don't start off with: "I worked on a helpdesk for attorneys and therefore I have PTSD".
Majority of TikTok's user base watches what TikTok decides to show them, which TikTok can optimize to lower their content creator payouts (and further optimized by only showing content that have been properly primed in the CDN). TikTok's monetization is also pretty nebulous and also terrible; Youtube's "bad" monetization rate is like $4 CPM, TikTok's is allegedly $0.001.

People choose what they want to watch on Twitch, which they have to pay as a portion of subscription costs to the channel.

I saw footage from a drone's body heat cam approaching a Russian trench. One of these blurry red shapes put a gun to his head and beat the drone to what was inevitable. They hear it coming and know it's over.

Another piece of footage was even worse. A kamikaze drone isolated a soldier and was intentionally taunting the soldier by flying at it, pulling back, flying at it again. Like a wasp. The ending is predictable.

All of this supplemented by a cheerful "blooper" tune. And the replies show gamer-like excitement.
Same with Edison and "his" lightbulb, he wasn't actually the first to invent it. He wasn't even the first in his company, that would have been Joseph Swan - as determined by the courts at the time. Swan held the patent and Edison lost the case. Afterwards the two merged their businesses into the 'Edison & Swan United Electric Light Company'.

With most great inventions, there usually isn't a single person who came up with them. It's a long process from the first idea to building a working prototype. Lilienthal was definitely one of those great pioneers and it's sad his name isn't as well remembered as that of the Wrights. He was the first in history that we have evidence for to ever fly a glider. The Wright "plane" wasn't anything other than a glider, although they arguably did improve on the concept. Still, it's sad how in the memory of the general public, most of the time there's only a single name for big inventions and it's even the wrong one most of the time.
Wonder if a Twitch + OnlyFans merger would work.
Building your own engine is fine advice for someone with experience throughout the whole stack, but for most people who just "want to make a game" it's just going to get them stuck in the weeds of intractable problems once they get past the "fun parts" and things get complicated and out of their depth.
Is there a button? I recently became affiliate but haven’t seen one, there is just controls for setting the intervals and the amount of time, with more perks as you increase the timeslots.
Human brains aren't birthed by companies who enslave them for exclusive use by their clientele. LLMs and human minds are not comparable.
oh also i think qemu was supporting unaligned fetches (trapping on them on intel would be very expensive and not useful for running working programs), so i didn't notice that data in my data segment had gotten misaligned until i got a bus error on an actual arm. i don't think i saw an actual failure from the cache flushing thing
Yep, definitely easier said than done
Show HN: Peer-to-peer mini r/place with Proof of Work
Hi HN,

This is a site where users can submit content and the shortest SHA256 value of nonce+content among them will make the site display the content. Very basic, without a blockchain. It's a static site with WebRTC and peer-to-peer.

Why? I wanted r/place (Reddit canvas where users collaborate on a pixel grid), but with proof of work. This is my progress so far. It's a WebRTC app with peer to peer connectivity that forwards the best hashed values to other users, which verify them, display them and pass them on.

There are many many improvements to be done (especially I should probably use something like libp2p-gossipsub, otherwise scale is probably an issue) and more ideas to be implemented, and I'm sure there are bugs. But I didn't find any similar projects yet (except blockchains of course).

Hope you like it!

a) you don't waste money on the licensing in the first place

b) you find the hosting where you can just pay for bandwidth

c) the bandwidth is actually cheap, until you hit petabytes of traffic or dozens gb/s of BW

d) you don't scale for millions, you scale for hundreds, maybe thousands

EDIT:

e) most users of such sites aren't demanding for quality nor service, therefore you can compress a lot more and if you overloaded they would come to other sites (which could be operated by the same people just serving from the other place)

I did a very quick trial of this with a post I did in English. I don't speak Spanish so am not the best judge for sure but when I translated it to Spanish then back to English it was nearly flawless. Much better, in this same manner, than Google Translate.
I could never 'get' twitter/X, how do I see the 'conversation'?

I thought about it briefly before about this issue I posted. If you target Chromium, Firefox, Safari you hit close to 95% of the web traffic. It is one of the "pros" of a oligopoly in the browser space. I would reckon most websites would be okay with this reach. Just a guess.

Assistants are cool, but I want better tools. Give me a timeline with all my emails, chats, documents, and pictures shown together. Full text search on my entire browsing history. Exporting my Booking.com search results as a spreadsheet. Controlling my phone from my desktop, and vice versa.

As a bonus, those capabilities don't require uploading your data to the cloud or risking LLM hallucinations.
> And fear about the potential AI has to make everybody lazy, no longer willing to do things as hard as learning a new language.

GPT-4 is also an invaluable help in learning a new language. You can use it as a tutor, explore topics you don't understand well enough, ask it to write texts tailored exactly for your level and vocabulary.
Indie is not the opposite of AAA. Those are semantically distinct
> I mean at the very least they should hand controls to the streamer to run an ad: right now it’s the algorithm that does it.

They do: as a streamer, you've got a button to trigger an ad break at any time. But the streamers rarely push it, for the reasons already mentioned. Video ads pay so little that it's not worth it to streamers to annoy their audience that way, when direct monetization methods which depend on happy viewers (subscriptions, shout-outs, merch) are much more profitable to them.

There's a real problem of incentive misalignment between the streamers and the platform re: monetizing the stream by sticking ads in it, and I don't think it can be resolved; hence the layoffs.

It's insane to me much how much better GPT-4 is than Papago at Korean, and Papago was the gold standard for Korean translation for quite some time. It also performs much better than DeepL in Korean.
Margin.

If they save time and provide convenience or reassurance, then they'll provide value for some people.

It remains to be seen what the demand will look like, especially given the heavily regulated market.

edit: the "Fit out & finishes" drop down really brings the costs up. I'm not so sure about this product after all.
I pay more for MS business basic with Win365, and nothing for an E3 developer account. My Amazon Prime is nearing that much.

If I had a self driving car I would pay that much for it to go get fueled and washed while I'm asleep.

I would pay that much for a digital avatar that I could spend the rest of my life training so there would be a virtual me after I'm gone. But only if I could be sure it would not spend an eternity getting tortured, which I doubt I could be.

Maybe free Udemy everything, but I'm sure I would never use it to its potential.

The common thread I see is I would pay to TAKE AWAY something I do now, not for YET SOMETHING ELSE I have to do now.

YMMV.
Pretty skeptical about AI-driven development, but otherwise pretty excited. Languages like Python, Go and dotnet continue improving, getting faster, simpler, and safer. Web stuff perhaps is getting overtly complicated in dependency management, but also has exciting developments like bun, next, and million.

Also maybe hoping for a mild bounce back in the job market.
Why would they publicly announce that?
I do not follow what you do with the bare repos. Is it just a local backup? A staging repo for tricky operations?

the argument is really "do you know how much it'd cost to actually properly monitor the information the use?"

It's true but still breaking the law.
I very much appreciate that the authors not only published their code (https://github.com/llm-random/llm-random) but included the dataset they used (available on Huggingface - https://huggingface.co/datasets/c4) as well as the training process and hyperparameters they used so others can replicate and build on their work. The only thing really missing is the weights which would be nice to have on huggingface as well.
What if they had had a different investor?
Exactly, and they also provide the network stuff over and above an already complex local lcd/button/touchscreen UI.

They should just provide a local API, conforming to a standard, and then 3rd party remote control software could drive it. The physical UI on the machine itself is then just and on/off start/stop button.
.9 * x = 0.5

x ln 0.9 = ln 0.5

x = ln 0.5 / ln 0.9

x = 6.5788

So decreasing runtime by 10% 6.5788 times results in the code running in half the original time.
I picked one. Did you read it, or did you just read the factcheck.org link?

I'm not an expert in this, but I don't think you'd be using similar hardware for video encoding and AI. Encoding uses a lot of compute, but it doesn't use much memory, whereas deep learning models (especially LLMs) use gobs of memory for both training and inference.

If I had to guess, I'd speculate they're doing encoding on their Graviton ARM CPUs: https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/infrastructu...
> Perhaps you need to reconsider why you are unable to accept this.

This is not acceptable rhetoric for HN.
Artillery and MLRS is being used for that purpose in places where Ukrainian cities are within range. But that does not apply to most of the country.

Given that Russia has openly talked about targeting civilian infrastructure to "freeze them out" (and then tried to pull that off last winter), I think you should be rather careful with your assertions about others' echo chambers...
Early on, in the browser wars of the 90s, this WAS what they tried. Netscape and Sun worked together to bring Java to the browser, leading to infamous "applets" that would take forever to load and have terrible UX, etc., but that ran in the browser in Java.

Then they decided to create Javascript to give the browser itself a scripting language, then Microsoft copied them with JScript and VBScript, then Macromedia (later Adobe) made Shockwave and Flash, then Microsoft made ActiveX and later Silverlight... but plain old Javascript remained the lowest common denominator that ran everywhere and eventually overtook all the other attempts.

Then when half the users moved to Android and iOS instead of web browsers, well, they each have their own native stacks that completely bypass the Web. And these days there are wannabe-native-for-web-devs like React Native, so even less of a reason to add another language to the Web proper, I guess.

Genuinely unsure what would be taking that much data though but honestly my first guess is a bug of some kind. Kind of wondering if the App has some sort of issue reporting page on it, might be worth sending in something about it. Might not get a response, it but could get some gears turning on their end behind the scenes.

A 1x6 which is probably thicker is usually around $4-5 a 3/4 plywood at 4x8 is $51 ish, so 8*1x6 ($4.5 at 8ft length) = $36, and $51 for plywood. So no, plywood is not cheaper at apples to apples comparison. If you chop the thickness down you can get it to be comparable or cheaper. But plywood is stronger then a bunch of 1x6.

The majority of Twitch's costs are going to be revenue to AWS; I wonder if they are still unprofitable if you include the AWS earnings on those services. Or in other words, if AWS hosts Twitch at cost, is it profitable then? If so, or if it's even close, the business would still have value to them. Maybe this layoff is intended to get there.

May 27/28:

> The SEC adopted the rule to shorten the settlement cycle to T+1, effective May 28, 2024, for all U.S. securities transactions that settle through DTC. Canada has adopted a parallel rule covering their markets, however, given the three-day Memorial Day holiday in the United States, Canadian securities will begin trading using a T+1 settlement date on May 27th, one day before U.S. securities. What impact will this have on the post-trade processing of securities transitions?
I wasn't suggesting they could pay to someone else. They could pay to their own address at no more risk than paying the genesis block address.

The risk to them comes when they try to spend the funds later. They'd always have the option of dumping them on something unconnected to them for bragging rights with relatively low marginal risk.
Sometimes bandwidth too if they have clever peer-to-peer setups.
All of these are enshittified in my opinion: google, facebook, twitter, reddit, insomnia(kong being the company), companies that make printers, dropbox, postman, unity, microsoft(windows in particular), medium.

Imagine it as a soft reset for your brain, it's the best way I can describe it.
Ibogaine technically is not a psychedelic but an '"oneirogen", which means "dream inducing". The trip comes in stages, but at the peak, some enter a state where deep lucid dreams can be acheived by merely closing one's eyes and out of it just by opening one's eyes if it gets too intense; with common trip reports of people physically coexisting with their deceased family and literal demons, as was my case.
There's also the notion that it aids in unlocking memories. In my experience, it did though they appeared to be inconsequential ones from my toddler years.
The morning following the experience, I bit into an apple, and it tasted as if it were the first apple I'd tasted in my life: my senses appeared to have undergone a literal reset. This might explain why many people turn to it as a means of overcoming opioid dependence.
It is a deep deep rabbit-hole and I can't do it justice here, there's a whole religion based on it in Gabon Africa.
If you know enough about Musk, doing thoughtless, stupid, risky stuff that backfires is his play. Or not even a play, a default state of mind. He enjoys all this drama.

We all believe we're punishing him by massively dunking on him, but we effectively reward him. The media too loves Musk, in the same way that they love Trump.
I work at a large Canadian law firm helping founders and it's great how much inbound we have for people looking at entheogen-based therapy startups.
