Typically open banking refers to a Banks provisioning of Oauth style APIs that allow users to share banking permissions with third parties. So a third party provider (eg payment company, budgeting app etc) can grab your statement data and trigger payments on your behalf just like you would from your mobile banking app.

ACH & SEPA are payments rails, which facilitate the interbank transfer of money. So for example, the app you have given permissions to make transfers to will request a transfer through the open banking APIs to your bank, then the bank itself will use the payments rails to process the transfer.
ITs very much a Knowledge graph that builds upon itself as the affinities (node and relationship triples) pile up from user interactions, like for example. User: Sam and I are thinking of making our relationship official.... Affinities picked up:
Girlfriend---OFFFICIALY_DATING--->Sam.

Keywords are soo 2022, semantic similarity is still employed to find pre-existing nodes and their relationships (affinities), and if not, new affinities are made, expanding the user's personal KG.

Its fun to build and maybe something can come out of it. Thanks for the comment!
Show HN: I also made a three-body simulation
Somewhat inspired by a recent post here, I also made a three-body simulation on a whim, meaning to try out macroquad[0] (verdict: really nice!). Thanks to the engine I could trivially target wasm as well, so others can get mesmerized too.

I think that paper is pretty weak, but at least in terms of content it's still night and day compared with the nature of Tegmark's clout-chasing in his physics days. But it's pretty grim if that's the kind of paper that made him popular at NeurIPS.
Is there a name for the data format (".dat") oolite uses for its models? Is it specific to oolite, or is it a format used elsewhere as well? Apparently they convert them to/from wavefront OBJ files with some python scripts[1] to modify them, but looking at some of them, you kind of wonder why, since the formats seem pretty similar to one another. Oddly enough, I wrote a parser in C for oolite's .dat files for my own open source space game, though I never ended up using any of the oolite models. I think it's fairly common practice to upgrade all the models from the basic stuff that's in the github repo among the oolite community, or so I gather from perusing the lengthy screenshots thread[2]. Edit: it looks like maybe the forums moved sometime over the years and many screenshots were lost, but recent-ish (last ~10 years) entries have screenshots.

You don’t need a ton of options. You can’t live fifty different lives.

Aggressive FIRE makes a ton of sense for the few people that know early what they want out of life. If you want to spend your life surfing by all means, work the system to the hilt (leetcode, job hopping, etc.) and retire by 30.

But a lot of people that go down that road get to 30 and find that they have no clue what makes them happy to begin with. Fairy tales for upper middle class young adults notwithstanding, travel doesn’t magically impart this or any other wisdom either.

"I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent — their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy — they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent — he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."

Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord

This is an interesting quote from a WWII General. So "skilled pragmatists" seems to map to what Kurt terms as clever and lazy. But it also means that most people are lazy and stupid.

I have a Pixel 5a.

It has _comically_ slow switching times between dark-ish colors and blacks that's most obvious with dark blue-family colors.

If you have such a phone, go check out the "Gunnerkrigg Court" webcomic (<https://gunnerkrigg.com>), scroll down to the border between the comic and the blog part, and jostle the viewport up and down.

If you go check out today's episode (comic 2929), you get an especially long trail of slow-transitioning pixels in the art that is particularly noticeable in the bottom panels of the comic, itself. (Examine the black borders of the people's hair, as well as the black frame of the comic panels. If you're not noticing it, scroll at a rate of travel of roughly one-quarter of the screen's height per second.)

The reductio ad nausium of it is always fear versus measures. People who fear (fill in the blank reason) require outside parties to solve basic problems for them. This is the reason people use frameworks, because its this big thing somebody else wrote that does things you don't want to consider.

If, on the other hand, your primary consideration is to achieve some manner of a measure you won't care what tool you use, if any, because its all arbitrary. The deciding factor is not your self-interested level of comfort but a numeric quality compared to some other numeric quality.

This is why I abandoned my 15 year JavaScript career. Its full of cowardly people who cannot measure anything because, even when they are so capable, measuring things may reveal uncomfortable and highly contrary conclusions.

No it doesn't. It can't. Only people (or companies, which require people) can meaningfully "claim" things. LLMs are still not people, despite our persistent attempts to personify them.

This is merely a sexier headline than "Hallucination machine hallucinates." And even that word personifies a bit too much!
I'm referring to protecting content from ingestion for AI model training.
The problem with Reddit or social media in general is you cannot tell when a post will be AI in the near future. Hence the Elon panic, he knows it will be the death of it. I foresee power going back to traditional media from social network where info is heavily vetted before getting posted.

CNN now a days has better info than social media, which is way more likely to be fakes.

Reddit will also need a way to prevent bots as AI will find a way past checks. Likely they will charge if Twitter is successful in charging
NTSC is just one specific implementation of analog color video transmission, has nothing to do with CRT functionality outside of North America/Japan/a few other places and generally when speaking about CRT monitors for computers, arcades and the like they operate on discrete RGB signals with a wide variety of timing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Video_Timings, NTSC isn't a thing.

Furthermore, even when using NTSC video timings, the 3.58 MHz subcarrier is specific to transmission of composite video (carrying brightness and color combined in the same signal). A DVD player for instance with a component or SVideo output produces NTSC timing but there is no subcarrier because the color signal is discrete.

In these fast moving early times of LLMs, they can maintain this advantage with simple things like proprietary datasets and greater compute.

The difference in quality between the best model that can be made with such proprietary utilities and without is likely to decrease over time as open datasets of greater quality are published and the field matures.

The difference in quality and number of competitors ultimately pays the bills and the harsher the competition is, the less money there will be, for each individual company, to maintain their possibly dwindling proprietary edge.

The greater access to compute is an edge companies will likely hold for a while. It will be interesting to see how much open models will be able to catch up and how great of an edge proprietary models will maintain.
> or alternatively, a function executing on all inputs in parallel.

I like to explain non-determinism in terms of getting a hint, or having an (untrusted) cheatsheet in a test. Or always making lucky guesses (but you don't trust your guesses).

But as long as your parallel executions don't interact at all, the definitions are identical, I think.

Ask HN: I feel both valuable and worthless
Sorry if this is trite, but I'm looking for life advice. Right now, I'm not making much money, and that needs to change relatively soon.

For the past few years I've been applying to programming jobs, but I just can't get any interviews. I'm guessing this is because I don't have formal education nor do I have relevant work experience. If there was a cookie cutter for Joe Developer, I just don't fit.

My second thought was to start a company/side hustle of my own. Over the past year or two I've done a small amount of this and made a profit thus far, but I'm definitely more passionate about making things than sales or running a business. It doesn't help that all my interests are in bad markets, like games.

This leaves me with a very uncomfortable feeling, where I feel confident that I can create things, but nervous that the final result will earn nothing and be a huge waste of time. I feel like an obscure fine artist, who can paint a beautiful scene but will die in poverty because nobody cares about owning it. And I do love "painting", but I have bills to pay.

If I was sitting on a wad of cash, I'd probably feel better about this. But with my lack of funds, I don't know what to do. Companies don't want me, and the path to self employment feels like a risky grind. And yet, I still want to write code. Is there any advice for someone like me?
Probably. IMHO there is a lot of low-hanging fruit for startups in the field of symbolic AI applied to biology and medicine.

Bonus points if that is combined with modern differentiable methods and SAT/SMT, i.e. neurosymbolic AI.
Manufacturers quote those response times, but worst-case response times are often at least a full frame, and sometimes multiple frames.

Unlike with CRTs, response time is a factor of what color you're switching to and from, and their intensity, it's highly-variable, and it makes me so sad whenever an otherwise-lovely game happens to put colors together that very obviously smear on my monitors. (Also, see above for my report on the laughably bad color smearing on my Pixel 5a.)

RTNGS usually has more-detailed breakdowns of best and worst-case color transition times for the monitors they test, as well as over- and under-shoot reports... which is a phenomenon that's just as bad as slow transitions between colors.

Just so you know, I read through it.

> If the government asks Facebook to censor posts it is already censoring anyways, is that coercion?

That's an odd thing to say on a case where the government did absolutely coerce Facebook.

> The opposite of this is also a perverse incentive: anytime anyone says anything and they receive push back, they can simply claim a 1st amendment violation and ALWAYS win, as though nuance and context somehow don't matter.

Heh, no. The Supreme Court has already ruled on what speech is legal and illegal.

> What if the slight suppression of one persons' 1st amendment rights would alleviate the suppression of millions of other peoples' 1st amendment rights?

That what if doesn't matter in a case where the government suppressed the truth.

But anyway, that is a valid case, but you'll have to come up with a more specific example than that. The only case I can think of where that might happen is when a government official uses his First Amendment rights to shut down the speech of people, and then it is obvious that the government official is wrong.

> Just like if the propaganda machine feeds you that "this is about a pandemic where the government lied and censored people" then you don't have to actually read the minutes of specific court cases.

Again, I read it.

> These are being presented in the media that users' 1st Amendment rights on these platforms are being violated but what is really happening is there are interest groups in the government that are trying to force social media companies to host content the companies do not agree with. This is a 1st Amendment violation, namely, a violation of the freedom of the press. You are being convinced to participate in and argue for the thing that you are telling me you are the most worried about.

It is only a First Amendment violation if companies are people. IIRC, that's not a good thing.

So "being convinced to participate in and argue for the thing that you are telling me you are the most worried about"? Not at all. I want companies to lose their personhood. Especially these MASSIVE companies that basically control the digital town square.

And I own a company, by the way. Do not assume things about me.

Anyway, wouldn't these companies refusing to post content be the very example you gave earlier?

> What if the slight suppression of one persons' 1st amendment rights would alleviate the suppression of millions of other peoples' 1st amendment rights?

Isn't that the exact situation? The First Amendment rights of one person, a CEO, suppresses the First Amendment rights of millions. So yeah, I agree with you on the example, but it still means you're wrong about the cases.

Pilots have to sleep, eat and shit like the rest of us. Doing so in a flight suit stuck in a pilots seat isn't very practical for more than a day or so. A flying aircraft carrier would allow most of the pilots to a least take a shower and stretch there legs.
Quite the opposite. The only thing at “multi-generational highs” is non-white support for the supposedly “racist” GOP candidate: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/27/politics/minority-voters-bide.... (Obviously all these folks aren’t listening to enough NPR.)

Discrimination is at such historic lows that democrats have literally had to redefine terms like “racism” and “white supremacy.” In the 1990s that meant wearing a klan hood. Now it means opposing violent rioting. In terms of substantive policy, Donald Trump is literally to the left of where Bill Clinton was just a couple of decades ago. Possibly to the left of where Obama was when he was campaigning in 2008.

Because there is no meaningful opposition to legal equality, democrats have had to switch to policing thoughts and speech about race and gender and trying to socialize children into thinking about race and gender in certain ways. Look at how they react to Trump: they fixate on his lack of manners, not any particular policy. There’s no sweeping civil rights bill they support that he opposes. They don’t want to increase immigration, or give amnesty to illegal immigrants, or defund the police, or grant reparations, etc. (At least they won’t admit that publicly.) They simply don’t like how Trump talks about immigrants, crime, etc.
Yes! And that’s an oversight on my part — word embeddings are interesting but I usually deal with documents when doing nlp work and only deal with word embeddings when thinking about how to combine them into a document embedding.

Give it a shot! I’d grab a corpus like https://scikit-learn.org/stable/datasets/real_world.html#the... to play with and see what you get. It’s not going to be amazing, but it’s a great way to build some baseline intuition for nlp work with text that you can do on a laptop.

I left a comment elsewhere on this thread, but here's an interesting quote by General Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord, an anti-Nazi WWII general.

"I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage."

So according to him, most people seem to fall into the bucket of being lazy and stupid, which is closer to reality. "Skilled pragmatists" seem to map into what he terms "clever and lazy".

Austin's Statement on Bloomtech Settlement
This is all quite true, but a possibly faster way to prototype would be to use DRAIN algorithm (there are rust and python impls that are easy to use) to determine the "log template". Then push the log template when its first seen and nothing but values after that, into a programmatically generated table in a common columnar format like Parquet or Iceberg. Then you can point the myriad of data analysis tools like DuckDb, DataFusion, or the latest InfluxDb at it, you've got your SQL on logs implemented. It can feel a bit Rube-Goldbergish, and it's a bit tricky to navigate the space uninformed because it's early, but it can also handle all other data your company uses in one platform, no need to special case "applications" from the "data analysis"/historical/log side. One place to handle permissions. Then there are tools like Dagster for managing this humongous single database in a straightforward way rather than writing a web of applications that push and pull to it but without a complete picture being possible, or needing devs to remember their place in the system. Search up Uber CLP for prior art, or more generally the "modern data stack" (PRQL will be perfect for querying logs). But by piggybacking on big systems like this, you can take advantage of future advancements in state of the art, like BtrBlocks https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844.... Of course, if the savings/earnings are high enough, I guess you start on implementing this now.
