> Pagers and phones are MY devices, and I get to decide how I will respond to them.

You are right. However, a ringing phone in the mid-to-late 20th century created a ton of tension and was a movie trope. People felt obligated to respond to what they assumed was a human being on the other end.

Obviously, this obligation to respond has been diluted with robodialers and mixed messaging methods.
My wife got a vegetarian recipe book from her family for her birthday from Amazon. It had multiple recipes with meat in... it had hundreds of reviews with an an average of 4+. Amazon is just full of garbage and fake reviews.

I now only buy books that seem reputable. To a lesser extent, pakt books are also not great. This time they aren't exactly AI generated, but they are very low quality content. So you can't even trust publishers.

The algorithm still uses all the weights, just not all the time - just skips the weights when they are not important given an input vector.

Also, approximation methods, as a field, are not new and they have shown their use.

Feedback for BearAuth, Discovery phase auth/identity SaaS
Hello! Looking for feedback on BearAuth.

TL;DR: BearAuth is an authentication and identity API with consultation services. It's designed to allow customers to build an own their own auth, while taking care of the parts that carry high risk or would be a heavy lift for a small engineering team.

I'm still in "discovery" phase, and I'm looking for feedback from anyone who is, or would in theory, be interested in using this service. Specifically, anyone who's used other auth/identity solutions (eg. Auth0) and found themselves investing more than they expected in integration and customization.

I've been using YT2009 since the release and I loved it since. More responsive than regular YouTube and IMO the 2009 layout looks better than the "modern" one. The best thing about this frontend is that you can watch YouTube on old computers again, proving that you don't need the crap on the "modern" YouTube site.
None of these require lots of money in many cases/places.

They mostly depend on some money and what you learned early in life ( not school related, but in how to connect with the right people even later in life)

- You can go bankrupt and start again without problems in my country.

- Education is good and cheap, the US is an exception in comparison to Europe

- Networking can be done at any age.

To become super rich though, you'll probably be better off in the US. Investors are easier with giving you a bunch of money and if you tried well, could give you another shot later on.

Most of all, I think, is you need exposure to how others did it to find your own "place".
Until you consider a CRT 1/4 the screen dimensions would have weighed the same and now you don't have to lug the equivalent of a large oven on to your desk :p.

I remember with my first multi-monitor setup the desk heavily bowed in the middle from all the weight. Now I have a 3x2 monitor setup, all larger than the largest of those, supported much more easily.

> I guess everyone has roommates

Yes, apparently 40% of single people have roommates in NYC

Keep in mind that having a "roommate" is common everywhere in the US- 50% of households are romantic partners, with most of those households having 2 incomes. You have to keep that in mind when looking at living expenses everywhere.
Graph databases win in flexibility and ease of writing the queries over graphs, honestly.

Of course the underlying storage can be (and often is) a bunch of specially prepared relational tables.

But the strength in graph databases comes from restating the problem in different way, with query languages targeting the specific problem space.

Similarly there are tasks where SQL will be plainly better.
Travertine is a pretty “famous” stone and was used extensively by the Romans to build some of their most famous structures (including the Coliseum). Since then architects have used it in many famous buildings (e.g. the Seagram building’s lobby).
Having a television or radio blasting propaganda into your living room is real. It's an actual physical thing, it's not a concept. So is the Facebook app, and the social dynamics that prevail on it. So are screens in general.

I'm sure that the optimal amount of all those things is non-zero, but it's possible that it's also not 'all day, every day.'

It's not unreasonable for schools to restrict this, just like it's not unreasonable for a school to restrict you from bringing a mariachi band with you to class.
That's still an issue with LCD as well though.

Ask HN: Are there AI prompt builder products?
What I'm looking for is a tool that will help you create a good prompt. I'd specifically like this for images so I'll use that as an example, but it can be used for text, video, and procedures.

For example, I will write a prompt in my own words, then it'll walk me through a few questions to make it better, such as image color (colored, vibrant, neon, black/white, etc), what style image do I want (photorealistic, anime, drawing, digital, 3d, etc), lighting (soft, natural, direct, dim, etc), and whatever other details that might be helpful such as photography style, clothing style, scenery, etc depending on previous answers. I envision each of these steps having an example image for each option to give you an idea of what that means (like what does soft vs natural vs direct lighting look like.)

If this doesn't exist, I do believe this is a very useful product worth building.
> the lighting, reflections, shadows, etc just seem 100% real to me. I feel it in my gut.

I’m the exact opposite. My gut says it’s rendered. The graininess, the odd chromatic aberrations, the shadows that are too clean, the “head” being way too physically clean (like if the modellers got sloppy with the thousands of pieces), something odd about the fps of the robot vs the fos of the background, and there’s something odd about the physics of how it gets up (yes, beyond it’s horror-movie sequence)

I like the direction, but it’s really annoying when the completions get mixed up with the actual, static autocompletions.

Like, typing the start of an attribute and having the autocomplete pick up the rest of it, only to be suddenly replaced with the wrong attribute name by the model. If you press tab at the wrong time you complete something utterly wrong.

The problem with LinkedIn is that it is just no longer clear what purpose it serves. Is it for the influencers who post garbage on it? Is it for a personal post?

My comment isn't complaining about a refutation without proof, but a refutation which claims something which if it were obvious would be shorter and simpler than the refutation.

An assertion without proof. You can deny it, but you can't respond with any essay about how the assertion is reprehensible.
You are pretending that you are welcoming any opinion, especially opinions that differ from your own. Yet, you were very quick to invent unfunded hypotheses to cast opinions different from yours as "not smart and therefore discardable".

Your "PR" hypothesis or "cater to delicate and low-IQ sensibilities" falls flat as the author has demonstrated before and after that he does not want to play in this PR game. It's exactly the point he is making in the first statements and the point he is making in his excuse: "I do think that provocative communication styles have a place". He also explains that he apologized 24h after having sent that message, when he had no idea that he will need one day some kind of PR considerations, and at a time when he was not even pressured to make any kind of apologies.

So, no, I call bullshit: he is giving the proof, himself, by explaining that, 24h after having said that, he properly realised his words went further than his thoughts. Without any need for PR, without even any pressure pushing him to do so. (and again, if it is a lie, it's a stupid one, as someone can check, and a totally useless one, because it does not need to invent that if he just want to do some PR clean-up)

The funny part is that I think the quote is indeed racist but the guy is not, he is just one of these edgelords who want to provoke to feel themselves smart (based on what he himself says when he explains that he is biased towards provocative ideas). But now you are yourself painting him as a smart guy for defending something that himself explained is in fact not smart and not his opinion at all. It feels like some silence would have improved the forum and also avoided some people to look pretty stupid ...
Well, I don't think the tough on crime rhetoric is totally unique to the US either. I hear them coming from other countries too. Eg. when I was paying attention to Javier Milei's presidential bid in Argentina, it's largely the same talking points about crime, could have been lifted word for word from American internet comments.

From what I understand I think northern europe in particular has more of an attitude geared toward prison being about reform of criminals, and less towards vindictive punishment.

PS: Kind of tangential, but since you did bring it up: I believe a lot of the stories about natives being cruel warriors and cannibals were invented or exaggerated by Spaniards.
Yeah, but think of all the profit the wealthiest people would have made till then. And then about the even more money they'll make when governments will have to use taxpayer money to fix the environment.

Are there any legit income-sharing schools of this type, tech or otherwise? Done fairly, it sounds like an interesting alternative to upfront tuition.

On the surface it doesn't seem like a bad model, but of course it could be twisted to evil ends. From the article:

> The loans carry substantial risk, as a single missed payment triggers a default and the remainder of the $30,000 “cap” becomes due immediately.

> Students were therefore deprived of rights they should have had when their “income share” loan was sold to an investor [without the required Holder Rule provisions transferring legal responsibilities to the new owners].
This is a bad analogy because the hardware in engines of today is actually not that different or hard to work on fundamentally, but manufacturers do intentionally lock down software to make diagnostics very tricky. They became more efficient and complex, but people still hack on even the most modern engines, usually by tossing the OEM software.

Aftermarket ECUs (even the open source ones like rusEFI and speeduino) show that you can actually do the stuff required to make modern engines go vroom, but manufacturers have no desire to make that process easy out of the box.

- a newspaper that got bought close to where he grew up. There are tons of variables to consider here. Perhaps read their interpretation and take it into consideration: https://www.parkrecord.com/opinion/tatiana-and-matthew-princ...

- he has a big place. As far as I can see, he worked for it. Nice

What I see from his company ( my so called bias):

- fair in the amount of possible, growing pains

- accurate quarterly reports ( low balling future revenue) with detailed info on delicate things and interesting perceptions ( eg. Marketing headcount replacement during mass layoffs in other companies) - new boss in the department too then

- good products that I want to use, interesting approaches ( eg. Egress costs vs. ml ingress). My employer uses them

- potential cloud competitor ( huge market)

Business wise. Sure, I'm biased because of my past analysis :)

I stumbled upon a thread debating whether SD3 will fully replace SD 1.5 and SDXL, or if it will still have trade-offs for different uses.

Context: Stability is cutting out thousands of artists for "safety" reason, which means billions of images won't make the cut. I wondered how much the model will be nerfed in terms of nudity, artist names, and the like, and whether these issues can be resolved with some fine-tuning.

Since I still don't have access to SD3, I'm compiling a list of all the Stable Diffusion 3 generations out there. I managed to scrape this info from Twitter using their premium API (which cost me a Benjamin!). I manually curated the images to ensure they are indeed SD3 generations and made it searchable.

In case someone finds it useful, it's available here https://sd3.art/

The way a sound evolves in time contains a lot of timbrical information.

Different harmonics have different ADSR curves (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release).

Above all, one cannot overstress the importance of the attack transient. There are famous experiments in psychoacoustics that show that, when deprived of their attack transient, the sounds of two different instruments may become hard to tell apart.

Personal anecdote: as a classic guitarist, it took me three years of experimentation to find the right way to cut my fingernails in order to have a better sound. The Electronic Engineer in me says that those were three years spent to look for how to improve 0.1 seconds of noise at the start of each of my notes.

> Why do you think software is bad than it used to be a decade ago?

I would push that back to a couple decades ago. My hypothesis is that it's the result of economics. Once developer time became more expensive than computer time, the economics was a powerful force toward optimizing to minimize the developer time required. All of our tooling changed to reflect that.

This came at a sacrifice of most other things. Our software became extremely bloated and inefficient. We take it as normal that shipping something incomplete and buggy is OK because "we can push out an update later". Major companies have even largely done away with critical QA efforts.

Also, the culture of the software world changed to one where too many people are in it to maximize their personal income rather than to make excellent software.

Overall software quality dropped and has stayed low as a result of these sorts of things.
It also feels similar to mixture of depths (https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.02258).
