I'm actually not sure about that (never thought about it, good question!).

I suppose you could embed it on a page (https://support.airtable.com/docs/creating-airtable-base-sha...) or use a third-party "portal" builder like Pory, Noloco, Softr, Bubble, etc. (can't recommend any, never used any of those, sorry).

Airtable also provides JSON outputs if you want to hook it up to a custom web app: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction (FYI, GSheets does this too https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/cjn-google-sheets-as-json-...)

If I were doing this myself, I'd probably just put the data in any spreadsheet or DB I like (including Airtable), get the JSON out, and then use something like MUI Datagrid to render it into a nice and simple frontend that I fully control: https://mui.com/x/react-data-grid/

But yeah, gsheets might be simpler then if there's an SEO benefit :)
At no point were we the people consulted about whether or not we agree to this violation of our constitutional rights which we thought were inalienable.
I read this, and I'm shocked at the number of people who seem to make it through life with no adverse experiences. And I also note how by almost every measure, there is a similar ratio of people with adverse experiences who are found at every level. Life is hard. I used to think that it's hard for a majority of people. But this article has convinced me that quite a lot of people have relatively easy lives, which, as someone who had my fair share of adverse experiences, I think is wonderful.
If a book is popular, then you don't really have a problem with it being a fake or garbage right?

The problem with amazon books is all the garbage books, but if you know you want "the wheel of time" then it's pretty easy to track that down on amazon or elsewhere.

The only problem popularity presents is if it's somewhat underground. Then you might not stumble on it. Otherwise, just perusing the library should give you a lot of books which are reputable.
While it sounds like there are problems, and they should be investigated, taking the word of a one (or even a few) whistleblower on something like this should be taken with skepticism. Everything involving airplanes extremely complex, and most people work on very specific parts. Most engineers work on very specific parts of it (like any field).

It's like a doctor coming out and saying "this drug, procedure, etc is completely worthless!". It takes more than a few single individuals to assess the problems or efficacy of things.

We should push for the government to investigate, but journalism pieces like this just erode trust when their headline is a single person is saying the equivalent of "SHUT IT ALL DOWN, TRUST ME". We have no idea what his role, skill set, or knowledge of all this is.
This implies that the pre-AI internet wasn't already overrun with SEO optimized junk. Much of the internet is not worth preserving.
Yes, I agree.

The article doesn't say that, though.

"Doing four sets didn’t produce notably bigger strength gains than one set" - direct quote.

Which is, frankly, complete bollocks. Maybe it can produce CNS gains sufficient to lift the maximum your muscles are capable of (basically newbie gains), but no serious competition lifter is going into the gym, doing one set of squats, one of bench, one of deads, and then going home.
Using "before:2023" in your Google query helps. For now.

There are some obvious problems with it, but I think I'd still like to see what that would look like.
Founders, Forget Warm Intros – This Method Is Better
> billionaires have benefited massively from the Trump tax cuts, with the U.S.’s 806 billionaires’ collective wealth hitting an all-time high this month of $5.8 trillion. This is double the amount of wealth they controlled in 2017, the year the bill was passed

The S&P 500 was at 2300 at the start of 2017, and 4800 at the start of 2024. If billionaires' wealth doubled, it was mostly due to equities (and other assets like real estate) doubling, not due to tax cuts, as this passage implies.
Sure it is. If a country can’t find and enforce a law or extradite someone for doing such a thing, order the carrier of the extortion messages to block the entire country or charge the message carrier itself, especially if minors are involved.

Like if Facebook is being a safe haven for Nigerian extortionists, either they block Nigeria or Australia blocks Facebook.
I know of an airport, a bunch of hunting and fishing lodges, teams of housekeepers, etc. that basically allowed the executives of a fortune 500 company to live a pretty amazing life as if they owned an estate without actually paying for any of it.

As soon as marginal tax rates came down, these things got eliminated -- it was far more efficient to just pay people.

Likewise, smart people tend to marry other smart people. If one does well, the other got taxed at 90%. Guess what actually happened? She didn't work. Huge huge loss for the economy.

Anonymity is impossible with _any_ dataset.

If you have more than three pieces of information about a person you can unmask them quite easily with nothing more than a google search.

With the current generation of AI I'm sure you can unmask people en-mass.

If only we'd used encryption. Oh well.
Discord is public at which component?
Life seems to be a crapshoot for most people. Most people seem to be born into families not adequately equipped to raise children, and the ones that succeed and survive seem to do so despite what they missed out on, developing elaborate coping strategies that survive on into adulthood, which ironically, can lead to more underserved children.

Few seem fortunate enough to find a time to "pause" in their lives, examine what deep seeded issues they have developed from the process of surviving childhood, and finding and embarking on a path to a more balanced and mature, "adult" life.

But hey, it might be a sampling bias. I also imagine there is a silent majority of well adjusted people that don't show up on the internet or the news, projecting themselves all over everyone and everything within their reach.
I don't know, I don't want want to be too political here. But there were people saying out loud that it would be better to have no police at all a few years back. Not sure how common this position is nowadays. But that shows that it is easily possible for people to come to unrealistic conclusions if they don't have a real dialog.
Current LLMs are trained on reddit posts. The disaster already happened.
Yeah, remember that time they had 120,000 defective suspensions that routinely collapsed causing the wheels to fall off and also result in total loss of control at highway speeds [1]. But at least they covered it up for multiple years so they did not have to issue a recall.

Just cover up safety defects and avoid issuing recalls until NHTSA is about to file a case to force you to and you too can minimize the impact of safety defects on your bottom line.

The biggest issue is how Amazon fails to police its genre categorisations.

The advice from the guys making garbage books, which they quite obviously put into practice, is to apply for genres with low book counts to more easily get a best seller badge for that category. Which makes Amazon a war to get miscategorised.
I can't think of a single one where Firefox and uBO cause issues.

> Here's another video from googling "turret toss fpv"

there is one case of "disabled" tank there at the end, others cases got footage cut and its not clear what happened after explosion, but looks like drone hit into open hatch in that case as very visible on video. This is another weakness in this approach: RPG-7 may not cut it against modern tank, you need some more modern, powerful and probably heavy warhead to penetrate reactive armor + regular armor.

> They always look like something manufactured in a basement. Which they are.

They were building own large drones from scratch from the beginning of the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R18_(drone) so I think discussion should be if "A largish 7" drone"(from your other comment) is widely available on civil market, which can carry 1kg payload with solid range(5-10 miles?). If such drones are available (I am not expert in this), then I assume civilians can build weaponized platform base on them. But looks like Ukrainians were forced to build their own thing.

Yes, it's reasonably fast even at very long lengths, but the main problem is the very long lengths. Code based and not hash based though.

Edit: not very fast to generate a key though. It's mostly used for non-ephemeral stuff.
This is really cool!

If you could put a WPM counter on there, this would be a great way to test your typing speed and learn some new words.

Nice job. :)
Probably pretty well, IIUC they're "just" dropping from 6% to 4% for in many cases just opening a door. Hell, Ticketmaster is probably happy that Realtors can still maintain their listing monopoly.

I'm not going to claim Ticketmaster is charging a "honest" amount but I will claim it should be called a "fee" and not a "tax".
> The topic is about spending resources in an attempt to achieve a goal.

I don't think that's the topic at all.

I grew up in a high-ACE environment. Money was mostly not the problem, and to the extent that it was, relatively small amounts were what made the difference.

If anything, tackling these problems would result in massive savings. One of the core points of this is that Alex's childhood resulted in life-long impairments: lower education, lower economic productivity, higher personal and societal costs. That costs us both directly (lower output, lower taxes) and indirectly.

So the question I'd like everybody to sit with: If it would be cheaper long-term, why aren't we already solving these problems? Who benefits, and how, if we keep creating Alexes?
>Huge loss for the economy

That’s fine. It’s okay for humans to choose to live their one and only life in a way that doesn’t directly benefit “the economy.”
River 0.3.0, Waylock 1.0.0, Status Update
They embed biases from the training data, which is taken from the internet at large. The models themselves aren't inherently biased. They're just trying to generate the next token or scene. And these models aren't from the 50s, or made by researchers in the 1950s. The models have guardrails added to try and prevent bias (and other deemed harmful content) being generated.
it would make me very happy if someday someone does a really comprehensive study of the places where specific techniques cannot be accomplished without a C/C++ style pre-processor. SV is very similar to C, but actually even less powerful. step #2, find a way to build a better macro/meta-coding system within the syntax of the language to eliminate the need for a textual pre-processor.

in SV, generate constructs are exactly this concept and have reduced the need for macros significantly, but we still can't quite get rid of them. but at least for me they are pretty rare.
Theoretically static languages don't solve this problem, but in practice, programmers writing packages in a static language don't gratuitously break their API every release or so. Which seems far too common in Python-land.

Thanks for this. Instead of a definition it’d be fun to type out an example sentence so you can learn the surrounding words. That … and highlight the place you are typing in the source language so you can immerse yourself in both languages.

OpenJS: "XZ Utils Cyberattack Likely Not an Isolated Incident"
This is quite a lazy article.

Not only has TC itself reported the FBI recommending ad blockers, which is at least linked at the bottom in a throwaway spot. But CISA recommends it. The CIA and the NSA recommend it. Congress recommends it. The whole of the Intelligence Community does already implement ad blocking.

You believe yourself to have a proper understanding of what's what with the United States? If so, I'd be quite interested in hearing how you went about acquiring an accurate model.
If you were a direct employee of the government, went out and spoke publicly about your organization, in your official capacity, using confidential internal information when told you needed approval before hand, would you expect it to go differently?
You could actually dial the top marginal tax rate pretty high if you create more brackets.

Ask HN: Turn newsletters into podcasts and shorter podcasts?
Context:

I personally have way too many newsletters and they are scattered in my inboxes. For most of them, I would prefer to listen while I commute. With tools like 11labs, it's now easy to produce audio from newsletters.

Similarly, the total length of my podcasts grow beyond what I can realistically catch up with, and I would appreciate snippets of interesting and relevant content.

Questions for HN community:

1. Am I alone in this?
2. If you consume podcasts, how intentional is it for you? (put a random show on while driving vs browsing show notes to find the most interesting ones)
3. thoughts on making this a product (5 - 10 min of audio content distributed by both subscription & recommendation)
Thanks :-)
I agree. I find it hilarious when Americans complain about America. Most have no clue how good they have it.
I'm an extreme materialist, I don't believe in gods or spirits or anything of the sort. I don't even believe in the magic some people call "free will".

I first tried LSD about 10 years ago and have taken various forms of psychedelics once or twice a year since. Some of them were, without a doubt, the most profound experiences of my life. You're right about the vague transcendentalist nonsense. The problem is there are no words to describe it adequately.

Despite only having pleasant experiences myself, I would never encourage any friend or stranger to try them. That is something only they can decide with their own research and risk appetite. There are absolutely serious potential consequences.

I think the worst consequence for me is that I have started to like weird music like psytrance even when sober.

Interesting concept. However, the input matching seems a bit strict, it doesn't work even if there's just a missing space.
>Democracy is not only about the will of majority, it's about protecting the rights of minorities, too.

No, it's not. It's about the majority getting its way; that's the whole point of the majority vote winning the election.

Better-designed democratic systems attempt to share power with minority groups to mitigate this problem, but it's always a problem. I don't think there's any way to have a truly democratic system where the rights of a minority group are respected and protected when a large majority actually hates them and/or wants to exploit them. There's a reason the most harmonious democratic societies are always ones that don't have much contention between different groups, or very little diversity to begin with.
To be honest I don’t know too much about the biomedical side, I’m probably jumping to conclusions on what the materials research directions are there - originally I was just going to joke about how you might hope it doesn’t hit its melting temperature if it’s used in a medical implant as it starts to melt around 1600 C

Some things seem inevitable. I've really run myself through the wringer trying to figure out "what could I have done to achieve a better outcome for everyone involved."

I guess success and failure are both group efforts.
I think a lot of people have been abusing chargebacks (e.g. "I didn't like the item, so I chargedback rather than returning it") and they clamped down on it, and it affects us normal people moreso.
Perhaps that value is an integer representation of a categorical value, like wealth percentile or tax bracket?
For larger servers (> 100), this seems to be the case since people are less familiar with each other and voice is more personal than text.

Smaller servers, however, seems to be predominantly chat IME.
It's a decent skeleton for a server side client. You might consider showing how a token refresh might work.

There is often a need for public client side implementations as well. Are you planning on making one there? It's mostly the same idea but you do the redirects yourself with CSRF and PKCE.
I thought it was just me. I put them on every now and then while driving, go “wtf?!”, and switch to listening to audiobooks or music again.

I love Libby. But buying from Amazon isn’t that hard. Check the sample first, look at the publisher. Worst comes to worst, Amazon refunds you if you return an eBook. I don’t know if there is any time limit, but I have returned several books within the first day or two for full credit.
When do the greater communities need to pay their dues?

Schools cost money to run but taxpayers balk and cry over every cent increase. There are crumbling schools with toxic air and water that lack adequate HVAC paying their teachers unlivable salaries. This is the result of neglect to preserve and invest which is a condemnation of those who allowed such neglect on their watch when they should have championed such plights before they reached these new heights.

Teachers can literally be miracle workers but that makes no difference if the communities their students return to undervalue education or lack the resources to foster healthy environments to grow and learn in. Broken communities create broken school districts.

This goes back to the point I make in another comment on this page. We must invest in underperforming communities to bring them up to the average if we want to see improvements. This necessarily requires such difficult conversations like the poor Hispanic or black majority cities getting some of the education tax from rich white suburbs or something to the same effect.

Yes.

You have things quite backwards, the stereotype of USSR and it's successor is large amounts of vodka and mindlessly wrestling bears. The USA added an amendment to their constitution banning the sale of alcohol and took a while to get repealed.
