We are hearing the term Metaverse more and more frequently, and it's frequently followed by discussions about how it will alter our lives. However, we frequently lack a clear understanding of how technology will accomplish this, and—perhaps more crucially for many of us—how it will alter the way we conduct business. The ability to shop in the metaverse will open up new avenues for e-commerce success. This essay aims to teach you how to monetize the metaverse so you can find your way there.

Another item in the list of “only exists because ZIRP”. My 2020 auto loan is nearly 0%. Today, the rates are 5-6% if you have good credit. That’s almost another 10-20k added on top considering the average auto loan length has gone to almost 70 months. Not a lot of people can afford that.

I have a sedan but also need to move things around. I bought a 1,700 lb trailer at harbor freight for around $500 and a tow hitch, and now I can do almost as much as someone with a pickup. Bonus, I get great gas mileage when not towing a load and auto parts on this vehicle are inexpensive.

I've moved my motorcycle, industrial embroidery machine, lumber, tools, etc. all very comfortably. It might be nice to have more payload, but right now I dont need it, and very few people do.
I don't even know why shell companies and companies with secret ownership are even allowed. Well, I mean we all know the real reason: because it benefits rich people and they make the rules. But, what would a politician disingenuously cite as the public interest aligned justification for having these entities? Are there legitimate non-nefarious uses?
>> An electric only latch would reduce parts count

I disagree. Dozens of parts are needed simply to bring an electric wire into a door. Every penetration needs grommets and strain relief. A flexible weatherproof system needs to get the wire from the door to the rest of the car. Relays. Fuses. It all adds up. I cannot believe that a manually-actuated lever would require any more parts.

I am old enough to remember the OPEC oil crisis of the 1970s when Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles getting 10-12 mpg were surprisingly, shockingly, suddenly unpopular when you could get a Toyota or a Honda that gave you 30+ mpg. In 1975, a new Cadillac El Dorado would cost >$10,000. A basic Corolla would run around $2,700.

I would say yes, but realistically all large enough companies purchase adequate insurance for known categories like property and casualty. So this particular claim probably isn't making waves, but there have been claims in the past. For example, when that dude shot up the AMC theater during the Dark Knight, literally every other theater chain bought as much terrorism insurance as the market would sell them. Ironically, because the risk was elevated after the event, price went way up and coverage offered went way down because underwriters saw it as a losing bet.

I suggest people to read through all the replies. The bug isn't really the interesting part.
"AI" is science fiction, it literally doesn't exist, and when I see this word in a headline without context I immediately flag it in my head as likely low quality and/or clickbait. Are the actors in this story even using machine learning to do this, or are they just using the well-worn playbook of pretending something is "algorithms" as a convenient cover up for human decision making? If the "gun detectors" in the New York subway are "AI", does that mean the TSA scanners at the airport are AI too?

The addition of "AGI" to clear up some confusion was welcome but I really think it's time to repo the word AI, because it's clearly being misused. Let's talk about machine learning if that's actually what they're doing here (I doubt it), otherwise we're just creating a framework where everything is fair game for HN because almost everything in the world today is "AI" and/or involves computers in some capacity.

I totally get that explaining "AI" vs "Machine Learning" to the rest of society is going to be like explaining the difference between free beer and free software and I've already given up, but I'd love for HN to be better than the Drudge Report and UK tabloids of the world on this one.
I'll re-post my comment here:

> We don’t get sentimental about the traffic cop obsolesced by the traffic light

But the traffic cop did something very mechanical meant to save lives and prevent accidents: pointing traffic batons this way and that. Of COURSE we're happy with this part of life being automated. The traffic cop didn't make art. But we also didn't like when the traffic cop made mistakes.

I know the violinist only moves their bow "this way and that" to make music, but they're making art.

OTOH, if my AI composes me a beautiful violin piece, and I'm moved by it, should I or the violinist be any angrier that it wasn't composed/performed by a human? Maybe not. But should all violinists get a royalty if an AI somewhere makes a piece of violin music because it was trained on all violin music? Maybe YES!?

It's hard to enforce this, which is why I'd like to see some of the profits and dividends from the AI companies go towards a basic universal income for all artists.
Saying its a dead end considering the alternative has no concept of animation or the ability for an artist to remix the asset? That just makes the comment seem naive.
This is a great topic. I think the source code should be opened up for us all, maybe it should be a warcrime in itself if we can’t see how the decision making is being done. Then it can not be an excuse, such as the AI “directed us to block all food to the population”.

Should this be open source? Could it work?

Because it's Israel. It's also why no western country has ever really officially condemned Israel no matter what they do. They are on "our side" so it's okay. And those civilians kind of deserved it anyways or something, and we can just trust every single word the IDF says and use them as an actual source to pretend the IDF isn't into mass civilian murder.

The only thing that made this time a bit different is the crazy, almost hard to believe, switch from the Ukrainian conflict and how it was seen and portrayed... To western countries staying completely silent when again, it's our side doing it. Well it wasn't hard to believe but it just made it a lot more blatant.

Israel doesn't really care though since israeli officers routinely go on public tirades that amount to mask-off allusions to genocide ("wipe Gaza" "level the city to the ground" "make it unliveable"), with again 0 consequences at all. Even Russia at least tries to not have Russian military officers just say the quiet part out loud.

That usage data isn’t really helpful since owners can use them exclusively for one or the other. Without changing those statistics, each owner still may need a truck if they are constantly doing another.

Show HN: Konfig – SDKs for APIs to write and maintain less API integration
Hi HN,

We are excited to share Konfig SDKs, a collection of SDKs for public APIs that help you write and maintain less API integration code. These SDKs provide convenient types and interfaces for making API calls so you never have to read the details of how to construct your HTTP requests or what data types to pass.

With SDKs you can:

- reduce lines of API integration code by ~25%

- instantiate ~30% less variables

- develop API integrations 2x faster

Here are some links to explore:

- A blog post explaining the details of why we and how we built it: https://konfigthis.com/blog/introducing-konfig-sdks/

- Directory of SDKs: https://konfigthis.com/sdk/category/all/

For context, we are developer experience enthusiasts and know the pain of searching for an up-to-date SDK for an API, only to find abandoned projects or poorly documented libraries. If you are lucky, some hero developer has published a high-quality SDK, only to eventually fall out-of-date over time, as unpaid work can only last so long.

To generate all the SDKs, we created the highest-quality collection of OpenAPI specifications (https://spec.openapis.org/oas/latest.html) on the internet: https://github.com/konfig-sdks/openapi-examples (it's open and MIT licensed). It contains metadata about the API provider, media assets, response time logs, and the specification itself.

Every specification is modified to ensure that we can create high-quality SDKs. For example, we use LLMs to generate method names for every operation so that the generated SDKs feel natural to use. We then continuously use this dataset to generate SDKs using a generator we have developed over the past 16 months.

I’m excited to know if you have any thoughts or feedback! We also created a Discord server you can join here: https://discord.gg/BAUS4Xtb.

B2 can be great but it is missing a lot of features when compared to other object stores so it isn't a good solution for every scenario.

As an example I investigated, to put a custom domain in front of a B2 bucket they suggest using Cloudflare and CNAME-ing a bucket subdomain (eg f000.backblazeb2.com) https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-deliver-public-...

Well if f000.backblazeb2.com is used for any other people's buckets too, which appears to be the case, I guess I am now able to serve other people's files from my domain? This seems terrible.
Nice to have though and probably saves my forehead a lot of facepalms.

Edit: I also like the lib*san way of showing the variables and where everything is and is written to when you do oob writes but that is a whole other way of getting to it.

Not Really. When GPT-3 was released, it would be well over a year before top competitors/research institutions with the compute hit >= GPT-3 levels.

When you're in uncharted territory, you hit the levels you know are possible first and then you try to scale up. You waste less money this way. And scaling is only getting more expensive.

Within the year, we can probably expect the release of Gemini 2, Claude 4, GPT-5 etc. If those are still small incremental improvements then we can talk about a slow down. Right now, it just seems par the course.
There isn’t really a “why”, other than the need to match observed reality.

We know from observations that light moves at a constant speed, even when the observer is moving near the speed of light, and we know that this observation is true regardless of your frame of reference.

In order for physics to remain consistent while accounting for the constant speed of light, other things need to flex between the two reference frames: namely, time (time dilation) and length (Lorentz contraction).
Also, that will greatly simplify the conversion process for me in the future.

Previously, when I've come across a US recipe requiring cups of butter, I've looked up the size of a US cup - which is given in fl.oz - converted that to ml, and then found a good estimate for the density of butter, and used that to convert to a weight in grams - which I can then measure easily.

If I'd known that "a cup of butter" was not really meant to be an actual "cup" measurement, and was actually shorthand (longhand?) for "0.5lb butter", that would have made conversion So. Much. Easier.

Seriously, wtf.

(I take it that other "cup" measurements are actually meant to be volume measurements, and I should measure cups of flour/sugar/etc... (and liquids, obviously) in volume-marked measuring containers?)
That's officially a classic car now, soon it may be worth quite a bit.

The same is true for many auto and home loans in the US. The point, I think, is that you have much less purchasing power now that rates have gone up than before.

Trucks are fantastic vehicles if you can afford them, but a 7% rate on a new $80k truck is beyond most people right now.
What would be even better is if their analysis worked. Wstringop-overflow and related features have been broken since GCC 10, for five years, and remain broken.

If one don't want to engage, the hide button isn't too far from the flag button. It's important that people have the option to speak freely and openly about this topic, since so many places shut down any conversation that shows sympathy for Palestinians and/or doesn't paint Israel as unequivocally morally good. This is one of the reasons Israel has been able to get away with this behavior for so long.

Considering what regularly doesn't get flagged on this site related to AI, conflict, etc., this topic seems to fit in.
Pickup bed sizes are egregiously small nowadays. Trailers are amazing if you have storage space for them. However, most non-pickups (SUV’s etc) max out at towing 1,500 lbs and most sedans rather less.

I know europeans get away with much higher towing ratings on their sedans than American equivalents. I never could figure out if this was conspiracy in underrating American sedans to force sales of pickups, slight engineering upgrades specific to EU markets, or the fact that you just drive slower in Europe so there’s less stress on components allowing greater trailer weight.
