I don't think the point for him was to simply find a way to control his mouse. He said at the end of the clip he specifically wanted to help out with Neuralink. He also said the surgery was easy and he was released a day later.

He appears to just think about where the mouse should go and then be able to click and click-and-hold. Seems like multiple inputs which an eye tracker wouldn't do. Unless maybe its just configured to click when the cursor pauses on a spot?

Also the user experience seems better than attaching electrodes to your head. It seems to just work wirelessly. It is always there and sometimes he has to recharge it.

Ask HN: Gmail Post Mortem Request
So I just got a weird email from postmortemrequests@google.com to my gmail account. Basically it says Google has received a request for the email content of my account. I have 3 weeks to respond to prevent this from happening. I can't believe this is even a thing. What if I didn't see this, or was on a multiweek backpacking trip (which I have done). Probably related, I renewed my domain name a couple of hours before.

Is this legit? It says it came from a google.com email, I'm pretty sure it's no longer possible to forge the sender of an email.

Humans have extremely acidic stomach acid (1.5 - 3.5 pH), close to that of vultures and dogs (1 - 2 pH).

Early humans and their predecessors, were very likely (at least partially) carrion feeders, and consumed raw meat for millions of years before they started cooking.
The article apparently mixes up psychological concepts such as giftedness and talent, and also seems to treat research results and (non-scientific) opinions equally. The source of exceptional ability is indeed one of the most contentious debates in psychology, education, biology, and other related disciplines. E.g. Gagné [1] uses the term "giftedness" to describe individuals who are endowed with natural potential to achieve that is distinctly above average for their age group in one or more aptitude domains. In this conception, aptitudes are natural abilities that have a genetic origin, and are no myth at all.

Nice to see a fellow randomizer, agree totally with the approach.

What reactions do the people around you have when they see you making decisions based on randomness? When I would whip out my random number generator app for picking my dinner off a menu, about half the time people would get incredulous or weirdly defensive. Curious if you have come across similar attitudes.
Just a tangential note, it is useful for programming in the sense you can use it as a faster google to lookup a snippet. By the same token, asking "what's the kelly criterion" is faster than googling (for a finance example).

But most programmers (other than sheer juniors) also don't spend most of their day doing "insert snippet here". ChatGPT isn't close to figuring out the proper solution to link up multiple disparate APIs, read through the docs to figure out why the system was written a particular way, spend hours chatting with various people, wade through the political mire, understand vague customer and business requirements, and then finally submit a PR that forms the first in a long series of fraught attempts to cobble together such a system.

Upon PR review, deliver correctly worded responses depending on the personalities of the people who are ripping your code to shreds for pedantic and often meaningless reasons (mostly to seem important), and notice when the feedback is actually legitimate and requirees changes, or signals a bigger issue with the entire project.

Do that in a loop, keeping the context of the progress over the last few months/years so that a steady stream of design documents, political agreements, assignments, knowledge transfer as employees change over, and system requirements evolve, and changes come together to form a project that adjusts subtly over time as the politics and business requirements change as well.

In the end, everyone's "day job" is full of nuance and subtlety, but GPT is really good for automating everyone else's jobs (like those lawyers, its just a bunch of text rules, right? Or doctors, its just looking up a matching list of symptoms I think...)

I agree that it is not a contract between equals, it is an action of law in government; like it or not it is the price of civilization. In the USA the basis of law has been worked out very well, in some cases. Of course there are abuses and no one is defending an abuse of the law. Humans are social and difficult. The answer lies in a system of review and an ability to change over time.

> A civilization that can unwrap protons and build machines that violate energy conservation inside of them wouldn't need to care about taking over other species as basically all the material and energy of any solar system, regardless of whether it had life in it or not,

it is not obvious that such tech automatically gives large scale terraforming capabilities. Also, I think one of the book premises is that trisolars are stagnant civilization, they achieved some advancements in some areas, but couldn't make breakthroughs in any others. They restarted evolving fast after learning from human civilization.

>In the end, the users will win from this crowding, I suppose.

I'm not so sure about that. A while ago I was really excited about Altium introducing CircuitStudio (the first iteration, I think they have a new product with the same name that's completely different). CircuitStudio was pitched as Altium-lite. I paid, I believe, $3000 for it (with some kind of maintenance license?) and absolutely loved it. A year or so later they reached out to me to let me know that they were changing their licensing costs to $900/year or something like that and that they wanted to reward me as an early adopter by giving me a lifetime license.

But... the product didn't, as far as I can tell, ever get enough traction to actually become a long-term-viable product. Eagle, at the time, was I think $1000 for a professional license (way before Autodesk bought Eagle). CircuitStudio was, to me, a dramatically better product than Eagle. But where I've ended up with this... I have a perpetual license for a product that stopped getting updates years ago. No one I work with has software that's compatible with it and they can't just buy a license. It's a total albatross that I keep around essentially so that I can open my old designs.

New designs? They're in KiCAD now. While I really don't love KiCAD, no one's going to pull the rug out from under me. I can share designs with clients & colleagues and they can open them and work with them. 10 years from now I'll be able to, worst case scenario, run Ubuntu 20.04 in a VM with KiCAD 7 and open the designs (that's assuming KiCAD 37 in 2034 doesn't still have backwards compatibility support :)).

Cloud-based ECAD scares me even more. A year or two ago I needed to debug an issue with a super old design for a client. The schematic and board layouts were done in Protel 99SE (Altium Designer before it became Altium). I installed it, opened the design no problem, and extracted the info I needed. Will JITX still be around in 25 years? If they go out of business... what happens to all of my designs? Exporting to PDF and Gerbers is an OK step but doesn't help me at all if I need to actually interact with the design.

A crowded market is great for downward pressure on price, but it's really not great for companies to survive long-term in a relatively small niche market.

Show HN: Inbox.Dog – email to LLM model prototype
Launched a bare-bones prototype, Inbox.Dog, aiming to rethink B2B email with a sprinkle of AI—think of it as email, but with an AI-powered twist for tasks we haven't fully imagined yet.

It's rough around the edges (it literally could not be a simpler prototype), but I'm curious about its potential to evolve email beyond its current state.

Keen to explore how AI could make email a more powerful tool?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or see you give it a whirl by emailing hello@inbox.dog

I'd look for a business in a trade that goes back to ancient times, is in demand today, and needs capital. Maybe something more institutional, like a academic institution? A hospital?

Also, I'd look in a country with both large securities markets and a long history (i.e., not the US). Maybe Japan, Italy, or France?

> I guess you want the regex engine

Ignoring compatibility concerns, I would want the regex engine to behave the same way RE2, Go's regexp package and Rust's regex engine behave. I remember specifically considering Cox's decision ~10 years ago when writing the initial implementation of the regex crate. I thought Perl's (and Python's) behavior on this point was whacky then and I still think it's whacky now. So I followed RE2's semantics.

The OP is right to be surprised by this. And folks will continue to be surprised by it for eternity because it's an extremely subtle corner case that doesn't have a consistent story explaining its behavior. (I know you have proffered one, but I don't find it consistent in the context of a general purpose regex engine that searches arbitrary strings and not just lines.)

Of course, compatibility is a trump card here. I've acknowledged that. Changing this behavior now would be too hard. The best you could probably do is some kind of migration, where you provide the more "sensible" behavior behind an opt-in flag. And then maybe Python 4 enables it by default. But it's a lot of churn, and while people will continue to be confounded by this so long as the behavior exists, it probably isn't a Huge & Common Deal In Practice. So it may not be worth fixing. But if you're starting from scratch? Yes, please don't implement $ this way. It should match the end of the string when 'm' is disabled and the end of any line (including end of string and possibly being Unicode aware, depending on how much you care about that) when 'm' is enabled.

The switch from plastic to "biodegradable" materials for food packaging will probably be shown to be a grave mistake in the future. Natural cardboard will quickly loose it's strength if exposed to hot oily food, so they are usually coated with materials to prevent that.

I also suspect PFAS or similar coatings are used on paper cups to aid separation when stacked.

A few years ago I visited a Burger King in Spain and the cups have a strange slimy feel, which felt similar to when you get PTFE spray on your hands (good as a lubricant where you don't want it to spread to nearby parts like oil).

I can't say whether your specific email is legit, but I do see chat forums online discussing being able to submit postmortem requests to Google (using that terminology).

Most candidates will not spend a whole weekend on any given application. How could they, when it sometimes takes hundreds of applications to get a job? Sometimes no compelling jobs are on the table, and other times they exceed the time you have available to interview.

As an interviewer/hiring manager, I think you should keep your examination light until you're serious about maybe hiring the person. It's less of a burden for everyone, including you. Most jobs aren't all that glamorous so stop expecting people to bend over backward to show stunning low levels of dignity and respect for their own time.

I like your perspective on tackling the biggest problem

I’d be happy to generate some additional perspectives on your tool if there’s a way I can try it without spending $10k or going back to college for an .edu email address XD

An underrated part of an autorouter is that you can enforce rules for DFM (and SI) automatically, so some of that tougher stuff is addressable with the right approach. Including a lot of compliance.

You must be referring to an autorouter tool I’ve never tried. (Maybe your own?) All the ones I’ve ever seen produce trace fanouts that look like regurgitated spaghetti.

"I should not be doing this" is a mentality a lot of EEs bring to layout.

Probably explains why so many EEs struggle to get their designs to pass radiated emissions compliance tests. Layout is still circuit design: you just don’t know any of the component values you’re dealing with. Gotta learn to make good choices once you understand how board parasitics work.

Unrelated - I’m pretty sure I spoke with you or one of your cofounders about your product in comments when you first launched. I asked you about emissions compliance and I think DDR trace matching and routing in a comment thread. Glad to see you got at least one of those problems licked.
