Show HN: Full.cx – Transform Product Visions into Dev-Ready Requirements with AI
Hey HN!

I'm thrilled to present https://Full.CX, a platform dedicated to revolutionizing the ideation process in product development. My aim is to seamlessly transform product visions into structured, Jira-ready requirements with meaningful acceptance criteria.

I have created a structured environment to capture and nurture initial concepts. Full.CX guides you through refining visions into detailed requirements and clear acceptance criteria.

I have add an AI Co-pilot (powered by OpenAI GPT3 and GPT4) which can assist with the articulation of ideas, however you can use the platform without it.

I think it can really help from initial brainstorming to the creation of developer-ready tickets.

I'm eager to hear your feedback, suggestions, and how Full.CX could fit into your product development cycle.

Thanks for your time, and I look forward to your valuable insights!

There should be a big banner at the top of every page "Surgeon General's Warning: This app contains a gratuitous amount of dicks." From that point forward it would be caveat emptor.
I’ve recently gotten very into NTP with GPS and PPS as a fun personal project. Just a couple weeks ago I was reading about him on Wikipedia and I could relate to this quote (as no one else I’ve talked to about PPS has shown any interest):

> he enjoyed working on synchronized time because no one else was working on it, giving him his own "little fief"

Debian recently switched to NTPSec, and I was happy to see how familiar their website style was to the main NTP site. In the FAQ I found:

> [Q] Why do these web pages look so 1990s

> [A] Because that simple look is good for people with visual impairments, and as a tribute to Dr. David Mills, the original architect of NTP who is himself visually impaired. Dr. Mills has very particular ideas about Web visuals, and this site is carefully styled to resemble his NTP documentation pages.

I’ve never had an opportunity to meet him, but he has certainly made a positive impact on my life. Rest in peace Dr. Mills.
The real conspiracies are always in plain sight
> I'm sure people know the answers to this

I don't think they do. AFAIK most of your assertions above are unknowns.

My theory, at least re: psilocybin and the like, is that a parasitic fungus developed neurotransmitter agonists as a way of manipulating its host. The complete cocktail that was needed to make the target species behave in a way that completed the fungus' lifecycle may be lost to time, but certain components of it still exist in the gene pool.

And if you're going to have millions of spores (rather than the two or three offspring that, say, humans have) you can afford to set them up with a wider array of gene expression profiles. So you've got these fungi just trying stuff to see what works--now armed with neurotransmitter agonists as part of that "stuff".

Later on you've got other organisms eating those mushrooms and behaving strangely. If you're a fungal spore, and you're in an animal's digestive tract, "strangely" is probably how you want it to be behaving. You're going to end up in a different place or with different nutrients or in some other situation which is abnormal for your host--you end up with greater habitat diversity.

How specifically that host-behavior-strangeness would lead to a lifecycle that would reinforce the inclusion of psychedelics to the point where P. Cubensis is reliably psychedelic, rather than just the occasional mutant, I have no idea, but when you've got billions of years to play with, it's not hard to accept that some pretty weird animal-fungus interactions came up here and there.
It didn’t bother me one bit.

I used Obsidian app for my notes so I’ll just ignore the Journal app.
> we don't use that as an excuse for not having laws preventing children from buying alcohol.

Listen, social media is just disrupting society like Uber disrupted taxis and Door dash disrupted food delivery.

The downsides are always fine and ignorable because of the financials, and regulation is just an archaic attempt to hamper disruption

We should never disrupt the forward momentum of the disruption economy, whatever the harm. Business owners will make enough money that we can soothe all harms. Later. With initiatives.
Thanks for responding.

What are some examples of topics that you cut out from the high school math curricula? I have seen modern Algebra II courses remove conic sections in order to make more room for probability and statistics.
Hot air, like most discussion online, especially when children and sex are involved.
Back in 2016 I got rejected from Square. Admittedly I didn't do well on the interview and wasn't surprised.

The recruiter actually got on the phone with me, and pointed out the signals (from notes from the hiring manager) that I was lacking for them. And how I could improve if I wanted to interview with them again.

It all felt very respectful. Good for them for going above and beyond.

That said I don't expect any company to tell me anything beyond "No thanks" after a failed interview.
Another black ribbon day for HN. RIP Dr Mills. The internet wouldn’t be the same were it not for you.

16 colors, technically. But only four at a time, and three of those were selected from two preset palettes, both of which were hideous (one green/red/brown, one cyan/magenta/white).

> But most people would agree that recording everything on every street corner 24/7 is not acceptable in a free society.

Do we?

No, this is a serious question. London seems to have 20,873 CCTVs on its streets[1]. If people don't protest against 20k CCTVs, do you really believe they'll protest against
30k, 50k or 70k? 70k is when by average one street has one CCTV. It's still not one per corner, but practically it's more than enough to track everyone's path.

Slippery slope? Yes. Are we going to slide down? Probably.

> AFAIK there's no way to have the kernel notify you of when a different process starts listening on a port.

For startup, I’d argue the proper way is for the process to bind the socket before forking as a daemon.

With such a design, one can launch a list of dependent processes without worrying how long they each take to start up. No polling loops needed!

Of course, that requires some careful design — “fork and forget” is too appealing. The process would be responsible for creating its PID file after forking but the socket before…

Alternatively, an IPC notification could be used but would require some sort of standardization to be generally useful.
This comment makes me really sad; it's someone who wants to help but ends up hurting.
Then what would be the point of having it?
Cruise fails when there is any sort of traffic. You can never match the flow right.

Now with autopilot on newer cars as I understand it this is less of an issue but anything with standard cruise control is only gonna work on the interstate most of the time and often not well then.
Advancing classical computer power, of the kind found in GPUs and vectorization silicon, doesn't really do anything to threaten RSA-2048, which is (at least) what's deployed in all modern RSA applications. The thing that threatens RSA-2048 is likely to threaten all the rest of RSA; that might be quantum computing, or it might be mathematical advances, but either way there isn't so much an arms race of increasing RSA key sizes.
Did you guys look at boats/maritime as a potential market? Would sea winds make certain things easier? Harder?
I don't think the average office has ever been fun. If the average work someone did was fun then there wouldn't be a strong "slacker" culture. I think a lot of people romanticize "the good old days", like over technology, most things are worse than you remember them being, and you just remember the nicer aspects, unless it was genuinely awful and traumatic.

It's like early transistor amplifiers and radios, the first ones were shit. They sounded harsh and thrashy. They got better quickly, but they were expensive to buy and paled in comparison to their valve counterparts for a long while. Even my old man romanticized them until he encountered one in the present day and remembered how bad they really were. I think he just remembered enjoying good songs, thus the quality was secondary to the music itself.
And yet other areas let buildings be physically against each other if they're built not to spread fire. Just let everyone do that.
OP here, I was trying to say that these pages were behind an authwall and loading with userids from a specific user but without any of their cookies to support that auth.

This led us to believe this page was MitM rather than crawled directly (as they would not be able to impersonate the user)
Khan Academy worked for me and has a bunch of other fun classes too.
They said, it contain mercury. This is really bad, I think, will use some chemicals to bind it chemically into insoluble stuff and then just filter out.

Also it contain calcium, magnesium, these are typical for Earth, so will just use some water softeners.

With some luck, possible, to find on surface some minerals could be used to bind mercury and to soften water.
Well my style works for me, and your style seems like its working for you. Its quite possible we're managing completely different set of personalities. For many of the people I work with a job is just means to an end, and the concept of continuous improvement is alien to them.
Regardless of which side of the political aisle you’re one, this Court is going to get one of the thicker chapters in the history books with all the precedents they have, or expected to, overturn.

Roberts had a reputation of wanting his Court to maintain respect as a neutral party. I wish I could hear his private thoughts on the Court nowadays
> Us and plants aren't creating the same molecule because we share a common ancestor.

That is, in fact, exactly the reason.

You are of course correct that synthesis of many biological molecules has evolved countless times over the eons, but chirality of certain critical molecules, amino acids, ribosomes, all evolved exceedingly early. Once the cellular machinery is synthesizing these things, synthesis of similar molecules, one, two, three mutations away become likely across swaths of related organisms, however distant.

In short, we're all playing with the same lego bricks, and there are only so many different models possible to build with the set.
The author directly addresses your concern at the bottom of the post. There’s also a link to the context for why they had to do this and a reluctance for the authority.
I actually find the immediate feedback from khan academy exercises better than school actually. The feedback loop is much more tighter instead of waiting an entire week later for results and not really getting another go at it. I also tend to zone out or miss something in the lecture, and that missed thing is what builds the entire foundation for everything else and then the entire lecture is pointless. With video based lectures, I can pause, go back, play 2x speed, look at multiple well produced explanations, etc. Ultimately I don't find face to face all that valuable a various amount of subjects.
> or cure disease

My old office was in the same building as Chan-Zuckerberg HQ hq and all the scientists I worked with rolled their eyes at their completely over the top mission statement to "cure all disease within our lifetimes." Cure ALL disease? Really?? Maybe pick one and try hard to eradicate it. But *all* disease?! All of it? Geeze.

Also one of their top scientists exposed himself taking his junk out of his pants and tried to feel up my coworker at STEM restaurant in the middle of the restaurant during happy hour. So overall they seemed like poor decision making reckless arrogant clowns.
> When I offered to buy back shares from early investors

this is obviously a loss for the investor if they accepted. The time value of money is not zero. Unless you're willing to also pay the expected return from such an investment, you'll have just asked them to provide free capital for you with nothing given back.

Dude, they already have them in the UK. And Canada. Certain ideas and expressions of those ideas are outlawed based on how they spread: "misinformation" and "hate".

Misinformation (ie, not knowing what you're talking about, but speculating and trying on theories), or being in the unknown, is the foundation of frontier science, which is basically the invention of ignorance. So, you're no longer allowed to think, and if you can't think, you have to be told what the truth is...So...religion I guess?

Hate (ie, a wide spectrum of behaviors that is easy to allege but challenging to objectively verify and often deployed without nuance, self-awareness or impartiality) can just be subjective confirmation of existing biases. Hate could just be I don't like this person, then the accuser is like, "That's hate!", but then it's like, "Isn't it hate to accuse of that? Aren't people allowed their preferences?"

These dual problems of misinfo and hate (the new heresy and blasphemy, I suppose, administrative and legalistic tools which have been deployed in the past in the service of a ruling class to suppress or control a subjugated class), are exacerbated by the pseudo-collectivist elevation of one's "group identity" to a place of primacy, where the state seems to not only suggest that group identity is more important than individual identity, but it seeks to take responsibility for the interactions at group identity level, thereby amplifying the sense of victimhood, and lack of personal responsibility, that already underpins the psychological vulnerabilities that compels people into the larger cultural conflict traps already in play.

Anyway, that's my sort of literary theory, cultrual crit attempt to describe it, hahaha! :)
> I don't think they mean to say that pages behind authentication were successfully loaded without authenticating.

Hm, are you sure? From the article:

How lovely to read this the same day I read (on HN) that the UK government releases more photos of the Colossus.

Ventris’ faith in Etruscan was absurd, and I wish the apparently funny story event that disabused him had been related. The Etruscans lived on the western coast of Italy and while they had some colonies on islands further west never had a great extent of travel, much less to Knossos! It’s not even clear they would have existed from the late Stone Age! That’s a classic high school mistake.
Game has always been the same, provide value and you'll do well.
No amount of manifestos, bills of rights, public benefit designations, PR campaigns, taking VC funding, not taking VC funding, not selling out or whatever the hell else we want to talk about can make up for one simple fact – a company needs to bring in more money than it costs to run. Ello tried for 8+ years but could not manage to do that.

This post is focusing solely on the VC funding aspect and proclaiming it as the cause for failure but ignoring the fact that Ello was dead in the water regardless of it. The company had no users and no business model. Heck a reasonable amount of ethical advertising may actually have done some good for the community and helped the product survive.

When you want to encrypt asymmetrically with ECC, you do an ECDH operation with the public key of the entity you're sending to, and then include enough information in the file or message for the counterparty to complete the DH operation on their side to derive the message encryption key. This is generally the "right" way to encrypt with RSA as well (with RSA-KEM). Even old PKCS1v15 systems do "hybrid" encryption, with RSA used to establish a key and then AES to do the actual encrypting.
no conflation at all. read up on some of the trials for Google and Apple over the last couple years. The anti-trust trials aren't talking about a "super market", they're talking about a relevant market in anti-trust context.
In China we feel safer, strangely. Social media is very policed, reported message are auto scored and disappear quickly even if it does reduce offensive-yet-legal discussion (but is it that bad?). Social media companies are actually terrified of being in the news because they know actual consequences will hit them.

I know it s contencious to even defend this, and this message would be disappeared if HN had the same scoring system as Red (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu) in China, but you re right: it can be done, social media can actually be optimistic and positive. But do you want this?
>Making useful models is the goal.

Sure, training datasets for pythia is useful. The Pile was used in lots of models. However it's hardly relevant that pythia itself was trained on pile. They live separate lives.

Having just weights already allows making results that are incredibly useful(you don't need original dataset for flash attention, or tuning foundation model into the chat model).

Point is: Having both doesn't make released model more useful.

>Do you actually have any experience doing this? Have you ever fine tuned models or tried to change architecture or put a piece of one model into another?

Yes on both finetune and "changing" architecture: with adapters and similar approaches you don't need to retrain everything from scratch after modifying the guts of the original architecture up to your liking, you just need to not stir it up too much. Training on the task at hand is sufficient.

No, I haven't glued parts of existing models together(ensemble doesn't count)

You can have coasting and regen braking with traditional two pedal driving. With Toyota's hybrids, for example, using the brake pedal engages regen and only engages the brake once you need more braking force than the regen can provide.
You haven't been following Google's case closely enough.
I haven't heard anything about that - but, if you have disallowed it from accessing the internet, it can't update to remove any features.

Bacteriophage is the next frontier for medicine
Depends on the car, mine (Polestar 2) uses regen braking regardless of whether one-pedal driving is selected. The consensus seems to be that coasting is slightly more efficient but barely enough to make a difference.

My life would not be better if I stopped visiting HN.

my life would be better if I stopped visiting reddit, though. it's become way too much of a hive mind and anything contrary to the prevalent groupthink gets you buried or even suspended from the whole site. it seems like a bizarre social shift has occurred over the past few years, and perhaps I've gotten a bit older and wiser as well.

YouTube can at least be more productive and fun.

overall, less social media is good for me. I've even gone back to forums and IRC.
My EV has a “paddle” on the steering column that you can pull towards you to engage regenerative braking. I use the actual brake pedal maybe 20% of the time or if I need to do a quick stop to avoid hitting someone in front of me. I did like this sentence in the article: “Before stopping, take your foot off the gas and allow the vehicle to slow down naturally to a complete stop.” Off the gas?!

Did you know that removing the tag from a mattress is illegal too? according to the tag.
There's a great video from "Technology Connections" covering one-pedal driving here [1]. The gist of it is that one-pedal breaking doesn't have a great way to control the break lights, making it difficult for the cars behind you to recognize that you're slowing down, which can cause accidents.

Could be worse. Rather than a pod you could have a random hotel seating seat packed in like an industrial chicken coop back to back face to face side to side with people you don’t know that are randomly assigned to a seat for 10 hours a day.

I think you need to just ensure “best practices” are followed, and mitigate whatever harm comes.

For example: teachers should have background checks, schools should actively survey alumni, teachers should never be alone with students, etc.

That’s the best you can do.

Many psychoactive molecules are also structurally very similar to other hormones, and molecules produced for other aspects of biological function. Take a look at NN-DMT and Melatonin:

Just a slight mutation, or even biological synthesis under non-ideal conditions could easily result in synthesizing one or the other via the same pathway.
