I can recommend Tin Can, which is somewhat similar to what you're talking about.

You maintain an evacuation pod for as long as you can to survive the small journey (I think it can take as much as 30 minutes?) between the ship you're escaping and safety.

It's not perfect but it might scratch your itch.
I guess I better stop using Bozos_Gismos
For years I thought that Doug McIlroy had a very odd name, until I watched some presentation on YouTube and first heard his name being pronounced – "ah, so that's an i and not a double L!"
> You're not doing it to survive.

If the currently-available treatments mean I'm going to die, "try something that might kill me or cure me" is absolutely a thing I would consider "to save my life".
eBay is hands down the best place to buy books.

They're not new, but that's a feature not a bug. The books are more affordable, you're consuming sustainably, and who really cares if a book has been read before?
Modern systems can automatically detect bad memories and map those hardware pages out. SSDs can do it at the firmware. ECC are also self correcting.

The "hack" wouldn't be necessary, or can be done natively in many modern systems.
At least as long as you manage to find an old, not-yet-mutilated version...
Wow, I fully expected that to destroy my browser history. Imagine my shock when I clicked back and ended up back on HN. Great work.
This stories are all made up. To make you stop using it and go to doctor often. How one could even rupture the ear drum with that? I mean, what do you want that deep there.
Any system that expects to be widely used must delegate trust to some singular and addressable authority, and that authority must be able to remove malicious users (and many other similar things). De-platforming is a feature, not a bug.
ChromeBooks are great for this since all they really need is a web browser.
How does this compare to Microsoft's and Apple's? Is there any other player in AR/VR/MR OS?
You can send an email to hello@swiftapplab.com.
Haha. You're also looking to make the leap from engineering to comedy?
what3words has a proprietary implementation and has sent fairly silly legal threats: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27020810

I'll happily boycott that for-profit company which is masquerading as a public utility, but charging money and going after anyone who reverse engineers what words are what locations.

This is exactly the sort of thing that shouldn't be a private company, just like Lat/Lon coordinates and street addresses are effectively public domain, any suitable replacement for lat/lon should also be public domain.
So you argument is that Elon Musk is unimportant? That statements made to investors is unimportant? That changes made about quality and spending and where money is being used is not important to investors for publically traded companies?

That's an odd stance to take.
This is a good suggestion. I don't know why but my mother is intent on destroying her laptop by visiting a lot of religious sites. They all seem to be infected with all kinds of malicious advertisements and bogus download buttons.

For the phone, she has an Android but I'm moving her to an iPhone at the first opportunity I get. I tried to talk her into a Macbook Air when she replaced the last laptop but since I wasn't there at the time they foisted another Windows machine on her.

Another source of problems is the endless email chains that her generation seem to love, they will forward all kinds of content that is all "hey this is funny watch this" sort of stuff, but turns out to be malicious in some way i.e. download this thing to watch the video, where the thing is some kind of hideous malware.

(please note: this is not an anti-religious post, but the malware makers seem to target those sites much more than anything else I have seen.)
I think so. "hold up on the second one" referes to bondage tape, and the formula is how to find it without actually saying what it is for.
Oh those poor drug lords.

I Nailed Sales: A Personal Journey
I'll let you in on a little secret: I don't have a Mensa-level brain. But what I lack in IQ, I make up for in hustle. As a seasoned sales pro, I've learned a thing or two about cracking the code to generating business. Instead of sticking to the same old cold emailing routine, I decided to shake things up. I rolled up my sleeves and built my own secret weapon: a killer Twitter tool.

Now, this isn't just any run-of-the-mill software. It's a game-changer. It helps me shoot off messages that feel like they were handcrafted for each person I reach out to. You see, I'm all about quality over quantity. I want to connect with the right people, not just blast out a bunch of generic pitches into the void.

But let's talk about why cold email is so last season. Have you ever opened your inbox to find it overflowing with spammy, impersonal messages? Yeah, me too. It's a nightmare. And don't get me started on those sneaky spam filters. They're like bouncers at a club, except they're tossing out your emails instead of letting you in.

That's where my trusty Twitter tool swoops in to save the day. With its fancy features, I can zero in on exactly who I want to talk to by bypassing mass messaging. No more generic pitches. Just real, genuine connections.

Now, let's talk tactics. My tool lets me precisely identify and reach my ideal customers based on demographics, interests, age, gender, language preferences and behaviors from their profile and tweets.

You might be wondering how I dodge the dreaded mass DM curse. It's simple: I tailor my messages to fit each person like a glove. I'm not just sending out cookie-cutter messages and hoping for the best. I'm taking the time to learn about my prospects and speak directly to what matters to them.

And let's not forget the power of personalization. It's like the secret sauce of sales. With my Twitter tool, I can sprinkle in little details that show I've done my homework. Maybe it's mentioning a recent blog post they wrote or referencing something from their twitter profile. It's all about making that connection feel real.

At the end of the day, it's all about connecting with the right people in the right way.

Lol I recognise the name from the famous pearls book but always thought his name was your incorrect version.
Yes "stolen" wife. Great for dresnok as his worst fear was broken homes (he came from one and experienced divorce) so the held against will was a huge selling point for him. From watching docs in his final days I sincerely believe the stolen wife who couldn't divorce was his biggest selling point in staying.
Yeah, ideally the dictionary first would undergo rather rigorous pruning based on things like phonetic similarity or how easily a typo might move between two valid words.

That scoring/clustering process makes for interesting problems in their own right, especially if one throws accents into the mix.
I really like the idea of feed/entry search but it seems to not return very relevant results... if I search for "software defined radio" with or without quotes I get lots of results that don't have those terms in them
Makefiles don't scale all that well as portability and platform-specific gotchas lead to software configuration management headaches.

Cmake is a step in the direction of creating a maintainable and simple portability layer. It can create Makefiles or use other build systems like Ninja (I prefer the compatible and faster samurai tool).

There is a tool called "just", but it doesn't know anything about caching dependency management, which is a step backwards and wastes resources unnecessarily. That is a case of erroneously eliminating essential features in the pursuit of solving other problems.

Tools like meson, conan, and bazel are sometimes overkill and tend to lack essential features (like creating static libraries).

KISS. Create simple, straightforward, and documented ways to build, install, uninstall, clean, and run tests.
Having seen it myself, the only people that are still talking about legal drugs this year, are people who haven’t been to Oregon.
My new 2023 Razr has cameras that barely protrude from the external screen. It's clearly doable, but perhaps more megapixels requires a physically larger camera module.
Okay, unless I'm missing something, Kelly Criterion puts it at 0%, which is about what I'd expect.

p = 0.5

q = 0.5

b = 1.0

0.5 - (0.5 / 1.0) = 0.0
It would be helpful to also add a screenshot for that font overview, because: https://imgur.com/a/h7Ks1Qj

And even on systems which do have these fonts, they may not always be exactly the same.
Let me disagree. This is HTML-first because you can always grab the compiled CSS and optionally, compiled JS and reference it in your plain HTML file via <link rel="" href=""> and it will work just fine.

The TypeScript and Tailwind insanities are just there for easier development and my convenience. ;)

Maybe soon, someone will publish the compiled CSS. IDK
I'm not sure what you're talking about. You can download .dmg files and install. You can also get a fair bit of software through Homebrew.

brew install git
brew install emacs --cask

Unless you have something else you're talking about. You'll get the "...are you sure?" prompt, but that doesn't prevent installation.
Ha, I made a boot-up sequence on my site in the mid-90s. Brings back the memories.
The actual complaint appears to mostly be about discrimination due to maternity leave. Everything else seems to be details of specific incidents. The story is poorly written (perhaps an AI summary of the report?), and the title has so little to do with the actual complaint — it’s simply clickbait.
one should make a free sleepy app for them, so they know where it's actually allowed to over night camping. Just like with the legalized weed in Germany. You can do it, but not here..here..there..here..there there.. actually saying: do it at home and not in public.
Yikes. Well, less of fan now!
A Chromebook a good option.

This does not explain a cat's ability to choose the thing to knock over that is most likely to annoy you and therefore most likely to get your attention.
> And people still want to take the heroin and not the methadone.

The difference is that AI will soon be able to produce something indistinguishable from the real thing.

Methadone is very distinguishable from heroin.

None of this data will be published for a phase 1 study, but each participating doctor should have a copy of the investigators brochure, which contains all the preclinical data and clinical data up to this point.

If you are taking a commercial medicine, the first place to check is the "prescribing information", which is publicly available and has all of the trial data, adverse events, efficacy, toxicology, interactions, ect. I highly recommend everyone read for any drug they take. They are usually clear and accessible, and where they are complex, that is a starting point for a informed conversation with your doctor.

It is essentially reading the user manual for the drug you are taking.
This has been a trend for at least 15 years.
> Web of trust protocols are a decades-long solved problem

Solved in a technical sense, maybe, but not in any meaningful sense. Statistically zero people use any web-of-trust based system for anything useful.

But we've already played this game, over the last couple of thousand years. That evolutionary process, however messy it may have been, has already produced a web of trust, to which we all delegate authority and responsibility. It's usually called "government".
Origin of the Term "Shell" (2000)
I think that a network of trust will be established where "real stuff" can be obtained, but I suspect that the average pedophile is like the average man in that authenticity doesn't really matter indeed.

Show HN: 3LC – Illuminate the ML Black Box
Hello HackerNews,

I am Paul, and I would like to get some feedback on the tool we are releasing as beta today.

3LC is an ML tool that gives detailed insights, real-time data-centric iterative workflows for training/finetuning, and data quality improvements for your Machine Learning datasets and models. 3LC serves as a visualizer, editor, and debugger, focusing on how models learn from the training data.

Key Features of 3LC:

• Detailed Data Analysis: 3LC enables users to dive into model performance beyond typical labeling errors. It offers the capability to analyze intricate false positives, track embedding-space dynamics, and perform interactive metrics analysis on a per-sample, per-epoch basis.

• Real-Time Visualization: Users can visualize every data point immediately after training in our Dashboard; create interactive 2D/3D plots, real-time filter outliers, and find correlations in the metrics recorded. All results are visualized and linked to the underlying original data.

• Interactive Data Editing: At its core, 3LC allows for on-the-fly modifications of training data. Users can, for example, adjust bounding boxes in image datasets or change sample weights based on their trajectories in embedding space, directly influencing subsequent training rounds.

• Seamless Integration: 3LC can integrate into existing PyTorch training scripts without significantly changing your established workflow. It operates within any system setup, be it locally on your laptop, on-prem HPC, or at your favorite cloud provider.

• Non-Intrusive Data Revisions: 3LC's data modifications are sparse and without duplicating or relocating data. No upload of data to a SaaS solution!

We have tried to make 3LC as minimally intrusive as possible – enabling full data-centric workflows wherever you run your training or finetuning.

Why This Matters:

We have designed 3LC to provide insights into the Machine Learning workflows not often visible in traditional setups. The aim is, of course, to help produce more accurate ML models, but we have also seen users able to reduce both their model and training dataset sizes while improving their accuracy.

This first release is aimed at the Computer Vision domain. However, we are hard at work on UI improvements and integrations to support LLM finetuning.

To integrate 3LC into your projects, you can start with a simple installation:

pip install 3lc

or visit

https://pypi.org/project/3lc

For further details and documentation, visit https://docs.3lc.ai

We welcome feedback from the HackerNews community to help us improve and develop 3LC further.

Thank you for your time!
Reminds me of Severance Wellness Sessions
Right, and while they're away, they take a photo of both sides of your card and then sell that to someone, who uses it for credit-card fraud.
My MIL has early dementia. We are trying to keep her living at home as long as possible but her mental decline has made it more and more difficult. Her behavior is getting more and more out of control. She has an iPhone she is attached to. She has YouTube on 24 hours a day. That and she uses FaceTime. Looking back, we should have gotten her an iPhone with a physical home button. Sometimes she forgets how to swipe away apps. In frustration she turns the phone off. Don’t get me started about all the scams. There is a not scammer she completely trusts and will argue non stop with my wife that my wife should listen to the scammer and sign over the house etc.
Not exactly the answer to OP, but when we had to decide what device to buy for my mom, we bought her an iPad. Best choice ever. Zero maintenance, it's fast, she can do whatever she needs and wants and it's light and easy to move. Drop some water on it? It's fine. Not even the cat can destroy it.
About 8 years ago. Doubt he would heard of both these gentlemen.
Certain rules do, though the exact analog rule of Conway's Game of Life is a bit boring as i recall. In general it was a lot easier to find interesting behavior in Brian's Brain rulesets.
Wanting to see celebrities or coworkers debased is common and perhaps authenticity matters there.

But it doesn't matter much in regular porn usage. I don't see why it would be different for a pedophile. Everything going in your mind still be the same in a pedophile's head, just remove 10 years to the people you imagine.
The compiler simply knows that the actual dynamic type is Animal because it is not a pointer. You need Animal* to trigger all the fun virtual dispatch stuff.
I would give my left nut for a Voyager operations + programming sim, complete with live patches and day plus communications round-trip time.
I guess it seems normal, just like in your country it probably seems "perfectly normal" to have people walking around with deadly weapons.

I think this might be where their big advantage would be. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are at capacity (and considered inefficient), and the Mexican container port of Manzanillo further down the coast is only medium-sized (1.4 million TEUs). If Mexico were to build dedicated freight corridors like India has, they could move an amazing amount of cargo into the central US.
If the AGPL will apply past a decade or two rather than the software falling into the public domain then it's too long.
That's only a dollar or two of difference per unit in costs to the publisher. The majority of their costs are exactly the same for ebooks and printed books.

No one ever notices the no garlic spray order. I eat dominos weekly and every time I move, it takes a few weeks for the new store to catch on that I order without garlic, and they always know me after that. Any Dominos ordered while out of town is 75% chance of being wrong. I've given up at this point. Papa Johns and gets it it perfect every time, and I can forgive Little Caesars.
Clarity is always better than saving keystrokes. Code is generally more read than written.

>The logic is sound

It's really, really not. You have come to the conclusion that grant deciders should deliberately choose worse applications based on a series of shaky assumptions, including that black applicants have had less support and resources, that this will cause them to produce conspicuously worse applications, and most glaringly of all, that this assumed effect dominates all other considerations!

I hope you're just trolling me and don't seriously believe this.
Following that thought through, won't that make "the real thing" that much easier to hide in a sea of indistinguishable, make it much harder to find and prosecute, ease the restrictions currently on those that want to act out IRL and swap their activities online?

The thrust of the article linked here is that:

the bigger risk is that “AI CSAM is going to bury the actual sexual abuse content,” diverting resources from actual children in need of rescue.
Their delivery is so good
From my point of view it's a theoretical gamble. Canada, the U.S.'s neighbor to the north, already abised their OFAC equivalent against people protesting the actions of their Federal Government. Whether you agreed with why the people were protesting, think about that really, really, hard*. Your access to every asset cut off for what amounts to a political issue. At no other time in history, has such an action been possible in so short a time. At no point in time has one sitting in a chair on the other side of the country can completely change your life situation with a tap of the enter key.

We only have these systems implemented currently in places like finance or immigration, or National Civil Service, but by and large, most people are relatively ignorant of the increasingly broad reach of these systems, while at the same time, these systems grow to become more and more attractive targets for both hostile subversion, or just those seeking a means to power.

Historically, we had in built safeties to these sorts of systems because they consisted largely of individual human beings. Each component weighing in in such a way where even the most extreme individual at the top setting off the action potential would on average be damped. Either by non-cooperation of constituent parts (conscientious objection), dropping of signal (not enough people or resources to execute).

With computerization, we're removing more and more of that damping; we're entering a phase of civilization where we're increasingly in danger of our technological capability outstripping our civilizational capability to introspect all the links in the chain for one, and to restore things. It ain't a case of "a man can't do much damage in 4 years" anymore.
Just for fun I installed ChromeOS Flex on an old Lenovo laptop. Installation was a breeze, and ChromeOS seems quite snappy. The number of possible settings are pretty minimal -- connecting to your local WiFi and logging into your Google account may be the only setup needed.

Also, ChromeOS doesn't come pre-loaded with tons of obnoxious crap-ware.
Mmh ok, sir. I already thought sales' personalization & tailored communication is the a in abcd.

Keep up the fantastic work sir. These are interesting ideas. I will make sure to understand then fully, sir.
No, but I worked on one of those too. I worked on J&Js ottava, its designed to compete with the one doing the grape surgury, Intuitive's Da Vinci. I've had the pleasure of using one (Da Vinci XI) to play around with, it's truly amazing.
Judging by the pictures at the end of the article, it looks like the VRM are under the board o_O
This could be fun to view on an Apple Vision Pro or other similar device.
They may or may not have bought it, but the calculations of "lost sales" assume that 100% of them would have bought it at full price, which is absurd. I'd wager it is closer to 10%.
