That's incorrect, at least for some countries in Europe, including Italy (which you mention below).

You can have your in-house billing system (but all the other eu crappy regulations apply, eg. GDPR, VATMOSS), what I think you are referring to is becoming a money transmitter, which requires a special license.
Interestingly it wouldn’t need satellite imagery. It could be taking and stitching its own image as it flies, then use that imagery to navigate by.

Thanks, I'll check out Hetzner. I'd been happy with NearlyFreeSpeech [0] until this project, who also don't charge for bandwidth, but for this project the audio files were orders of magnitude slower downloading from them than from S3 or Cloudflare. Maybe they throttle media downloads or something.

It does exist with some tricks using two-way mirror. Maybe using a transparent screen can give better illusion? Idk.

Smart mirrors are a super DIY gadget to do at home. I never done one because I would not use it, but it's a good way to refurbish a laptop display.

At this point OpenAI should definitely think of some sort of partership with AWS and GCP. Otherwise they will be just one of the few models
Fine by me. They have to get money somehow so this is expected, and in return we get top notch models to use for free. I don't mind it.

HN Community - Could AI generated agendas be the answer we’ve all been looking for? How do you currently address bad meetings?

Let me explain..

I created this interactive website version for anyone to test this question by making it super easy to use generative AI to prepare a great agenda. Btw, this can also be used directly through a super simple extension inside of your calendar so you can actually create/update meetings with these agendas.

In a previous HN post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39177059), I outlined that I thought the actual reason that bad meetings exist is because few people take the time to prepare useful and effective agendas. It’s easy to not do this because of a lack of experience and time.

Meeting companies that provide AI transcripts and summaries are pointless because, well, garbage-in, garbage-out. Why would you view a meeting recording or transcript if the meeting never should have happened in the first place? They’re just band-aids.

The most effective meeting agendas have:

> A clear title
> A single, well-defined objective (“what’s the meeting about?”)
> Relevant talking points that lead up to reaching the defined objective

This allows you to invite the correct people who can address the specific talking points and keep the meeting flow on track.

Start with agendas and only then should you use tools like AI recordings, transcripts, and summaries.

I’d love for you to try it and give feedback on if you think this can end bad meetings!

Show HN: UnWebhook – A tool for working with webhooks in teams and staging
I needed to tool that would let me analyze webhook messages, and forward them to my machine, or replay them over and over again.

I also needed a way to have a "fallback" delivery of webhooks.
If a webhook call comes in and im offline, it sends it to the team shared staging environment. If I'm online working in the staging db, it comes to my machine so I can process it.

Some tools work great for analysis but I couldnt find anything for the forwarding/replaying

this was a "functional" project created over a weekend. available to play with online, and easy to deploy yourself.

give it a try next time you're working with stripe webhooks

Job titles across companies are definitely nonsense but I suspect this has always been the case with all titles, since forever. For example, a senior at one company might be mid-level at another. I've had conversations with a friend who'd interviewed someone who was CTO at a company but never touched a budget, something that a mid-level manager would be expected to do at their own company!
This isn't true. Your own billing system is fine. It's only if you're handling money for third parties - billing for goods or services that you didn't sell - that it becomes a problem. Every single B2B business does not have to be its own "payments processor".

Investigating details that are not “all that important” is I would argue what makes Moby Dick a masterpiece. Many are bored to death by whaling details and look to “improve” Melville’s work by cutting that out and keeping only the “plot”. However, buried within all the whaling details is the narrator looking deeply into all things, trying to find the purpose and point of it all, to see if he can ascertain some truth. He’ll offer some conclusions one chapter, only to contradict them the next. What is truth? What’s the point of this all? This tool, this skill, this ship, this life, this world? Melville doesn’t offer any explicit answers, which is another reason it is a brilliant novel as it forces the reader to come to their own conclusions. And, in the end, even with some conclusions formed we witness the mini-apocalypse at the end of the novel in which our narrator is saved by mere chance (or is it), by the mortifications of a “alien” friend. Our narrator investigates everything deeply, only to find he goes on by the grace of others. And of course, all this is not even to mention we simultaneously having Ahab trying to pierce the very veil of God as a subplot…a true work of genius!

The part where doctors were prescribing Purdue's pills by the dozens, creating a huge potential market for the black market to flood with opioids when these people eventually run out of pills.

Without that the fentanyl market in the USA would be much more constrained since there wouldn't be a big incentive to push it as there wouldn't be so many opioid addicts in the country

The rest is just a consequence of it, Mexican cartels being fed Chinese fentanyl, etc.

It'd be good if the USA started to learn to point fingers in the right direction sometimes, it was the lax enforcement of rules when a pharma company went way overboard to increase shareholder value that created this mess, trying to blame that on Mexico or China is absurd.

As usual with the USA it's a self-made/self-inflicted systemic issue caused by greed, money over people should be America's motto.

> Edit to reply:

> That was shut down by the FDA when one of the dead children was still a toddler.

> You’re talking about a problem over a decade old, while ignoring the actual problem, because far from “pointing the finger in the right direction”, you’re distracting from it with your historical grievance.

Edit because you deleted the reply:

No, it wasn't shut down by the FDA, pill mills were still an issue barely 5 years ago.

Do you think this kind of issue goes away quickly? A big cohort (relatively speaking) of American society got addicted to Oxy, Percocet, etc., a lot of those ended up buying street drugs to fuel this addiction after doctors stopped prescribing them, the lack of empathy to take care of those people meant that overnight a lot of them had an addiction while having no access to the "safer" products to fuel it.

Your society has created a massive problem that will take probably a generation to fix, while your worldview is to go against the by-products of this fuck up. If people in your country were the main focus you'd have by now a federal system to take care of this addiction, to create paths for recovery, instead there's no political or societal will to actually fix the problem, just to have another knee-jerk reaction to the 2nd and 3rd order effects created by it.

It's a lack of understanding systems, while your society doesn't understand that systems need holistic and pragmatic approaches to solve complex issues you will keep repeating this idiocy, over and over again.

Just look at the vitriol you spout, it's a completely ignorant view of a complex problem but here we are, having to discuss why shoving more money into policing and border control won't pragmatically solve this issue. You just lack empathy and pragmatism, as a society. You are too ideological in stupid ways, one of them is exactly this revanchism and undirected righteousness, you blame the addicts (and the poor, the homeless, etc.) for their issues instead of trying to solve the foundational issues causing these problems.

It's simply myopic and ignorant.
We are seeing this now in the large in the tech sector with the AI explosion.
I agree, and if you could magically go back during the industrial revolution and show everyone what would happen to the world, I doubt there would be a difference.

The increase in the then-current living conditions increased so much that not doing it wouldn't make sense to them.

Same as if our future selves came from 128 years from the future and told us to all stop doing something, it would be near impossible.
Especially as the model weights are literally a huge opaque binary blob. Much more opaque than even assembly code. There is plenty of precedent for what "open source" means, and these aren't it.

Edit: not that I mind all that much what they're actually doing, it's just the misuse of the word that bristles.
I got my first home computer in 1978 (a NASCOM-1 Z80 kit) and remember that used Teletypes (basically a printer with a keyboard) were still available back then, and more affordable than video terminals such as the VT52. The famous VT100 terminal only came out in 1978 and cost $1500 or so, so wasn't the sort of thing you would use with a $200 home computer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletype_Model_33

I was recently thinking of playing with a VT102/220 emulator on a Raspberry Pi as an external 120 col display for a BBC micro. Cheap to do today, but not exactly retro-computing since it would have been prohibitive back in the day.

How would this interfere with the primary eSIM already on my device?

Is it easy to swap back and forth between eSIMs?
I think that's country specific. For example, for Denmark its £4.70 for 5GB [1]. Thats probably cheaper than buying a local sim and worth it for the convenience especially as I tend to use far less than that and only need 1GB as I'll just go for a few days. Then I may as well pay for the £1.10, 1GB option.

Pretty much, though AWS doesn't use direct sales to bring in lower revenue tier customers whereas VMWare did.
I guess the great thing about putting the problems off into the future is that I/we'll be dead by then (though I suppose it depends on how fast moving the whole thing is). What confuses me about that whole thing is that most people seem to want to have children and want a better future for them.

Title inflation is real, and can be a way for companies to effectively offer more future compensation.
So your claim is that the same type of binary computers that were running Windows 95, and now more powerful computers that can run Far Cry 6 with a better video card, are basically identical to human brains, given enough CPU power and data. If only they could experience the word and feel somehow. Right?

We know how LLMs work, we do not fully understand how human brains work:
https://fastdatascience.com/how-similar-are-neural-networks-...

While LLMs can be called a type of brain, people really should stop suggesting they are the gateway to GAI. An LLM will NOT go sentient if you cross some imaginary critical point of data. Then what? We give my Intel PC a passport? Even those working in the field will tell you that GIA needs a completely different foundation.

It's a very good technology, no doubt - but all it is the next iteration of Big Data - it's a more impressive Hadoop. Stop with the hype.

I would say the opposite. Homebrew isn't a broadly well-respected project from a purely engineering perspective (i.e. by anyone who's engaged with it in earnest) - it gets contributions because it has user-capture / network effect, but there's a lot of contributors would would prefer to be publishing packages on a more nicely stewarded platform.

Indeed. You have a) an outbreak of a novel virus in b) a city where "gain of function" research is being carried out with that very same family of viruses in c) a country that (to put it mildly) is not exactly famed for its high levels of quality control.

Does that mean that it definitely was a lab leak? No.

Does it mean that even suggesting that it might've been a lab leak is some kind of "truther" bullshit? Also no.

If I find zebra dung in my garden in Northern Minnesota, and Bob's Zebra Farm is just down the road, it is in no sense a "conspiracy theory" to suggest that one of Bob's zebras might have escaped, and making that suggestion does not make you a "truther" (God, I hate that word... it's just ad hominem nonsense).

Now, maybe someone else in the neighborhood has a zebra, or maybe a traveling circus passed through and one of their zebras escaped, or maybe there's yet another explanation.

But, you know, I'm still going to count Bob as a prime suspect, no matter how much Bob and Bob's buddies try to make me look ridiculous for even making the suggestion.

No, what roenxi, and now you are arguing, quite literally, that somehow cookie cutter designs for infrastructure are impossible because somehow laws are so extremely different and impossible to go around for every single one of the infastructure projects that for every single one you will need a bespoke design because environmental protection or something.

Which is absolutely blatantly false.

BTW, as far as environment protection goes, there's a sibling comment addressing the same: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39511375

Infrastructure always relies on cookie-cutter designs and/or modular designs, and there's nothing special about the US in this regard except its insistence that it is somehow excluded from common sense.

In 1991 Germany closed a finished but not operational power plant in Kalkar[0]. Nowadays it's a theme park built by Dutch entrepreneur Hennie van der Most, who is famous for these kinds of projects. I've visited the plant as a kid with my dad and uncles when it was open for public but barely any work had been done on the demolition or transforming into a theme park. For me it was the most awesome theme park I ever visited. You could go into the control room and press all the (buttons), look inside the reactor, see all the technology that went inside this plant, peruse the entire complex and visit almost every building as almost nothing was off limits except for what was used by the park staff for office/storage. I still regret not having a camera at that time to capture everything I saw. Nowadays it's 'just' a theme park with an all-in formula.

I personally didn't realize how fast other models would catch up to OpenAI.

There is a whole set of models now (and some like Meta are purposely trying to undermine OpenAI competitive advantage via open source models) and they are relatively interchangeable with nearly no lock-in.

OpenAI's main advantage is being first to market and having the strongest model (GPT 4), and maybe they can continue to run ahead faster than everyone else, but pure technical leadership is hard to maintain, especially with so many competitors entering.
“it's impossible to develop when you can only build 200 times per month”
