Funnily enough, tools are best monetised as SEO enhancers. His tool would have incredible page rank, and by linking to a "Made with love by congressblog.com" from that tool (and all the others he has made) and then populating congressblog.com with lots of content about like, congress, he could monetise THAT site with ads. He didn't have to ruin the calculator.

EDIT: an alternative monetisation source if the OP didn't want to create a bunch of content would be affiliate links.
It is absolutely mind boggling to find out what I heard is a bastardizion of a century old quote. Wow.
Not true. There are girls as young as twelve years old getting "gender affirming" double mastectomies because they want to be boys.
This is super fun! I'm no expert in games like this but I think everything is perfect. I wouldn't change anything. It all feels really intuitive fun and it's clear you've put a lot of thought into it.

I'd say the experience is already optimized :)

Can you tell a little bit about the creation process? Is it a team? What did you user to build this and create the textures and and characters?
Oh no! People will have to install a store from a developer they trust which contains products from that developer they trust in order to install those products from that developer they trust! How unsafe! This is absolutely removing options from the user!

Sheesh...
Nice work, one thing (which you'll see everywhere once you've fixed it yourself) though: in TeX you want to escape functions like cos, i.e. use "\cos" not "cos", which will get rendered as a product of 3 variables c, o and s.
I have to squint a little but I think I can see another problem here.
I’ve been trying to get all the LLMs to do the same thing with the same lack of success.

I keep thinking there could be a way to iteratively train an LLM with declarative prompts, but as the article points out, it’s the chicken and egg problem. The LLM can’t provide a response unless it already knows the answer.

However, I believe this barrier will eventually be overcome. Just not anytime soon.
How do companies provide counseling services without medical licensing?
As the title states, does anyone know how companies can provide counseling services strictly powered by HR-bots since individuals must be medical professionals to practice counseling? Take soniahealth.com for example. How do they do it?
If you are "offered" diversity training, you might not want to refuse.
It’s a joke in conservative circles that taxes should be due on “the first Monday in November.”
There's all sorts of things a neural net isn't doing without a body. Giving birth or free soloing El Capitan come to mind. It could approximate the functions for both in token-land, but who cares?

So to extrapolate, you're fine with your grandma being scammed by Apple so long as she can't (but actually can) be scammed in other ways?
TurboTax. It’s really that simple. They pay a very small amount in bribes (er lobbying), and they ruin what could be a very good thing for millions of Americans.
The government is our tool for regulating society when self regulation fails. It may be a blunt instrument and a last resort. Yet there is a place for it. We cannot entirely outsource all boundaries to individuals and private institutions.

I agree it would be ideal if the Internet could be as opt-in and benign as you suggest. Though I'm not even sure such an architecture is possible. How do you drive down the cost of listening and filtering to near zero whilst still allowing the desired signal?

And even if it were possible, consider that we do rely on governments to regulate the limited radio spectrum that we all have to share. Otherwise it wouldn't be an option to opt in to. The signal would be drown out by whomever has the strongest transmitters.

Nowadays it tends more to rough consensus by exhaustion. I've got drafts in late stage which have five years or more of arguing behind them.
What you're saying is heresy in a capitalist world.

It absolutely is the root of all problems, but people, consciously or not, will deny it and try to justify how it is necessary or how accumulated capital is not the issue.

Beware of that while reading the responses.

I don't think market cap is the right signal, but vertical integration. The worst monopolistic behaviour almost always involves one company controlling multiple parts of a supply chain. That's obviously why vertical integration is so popular!
Yeah, some maintenance projects have been much easier than others. Implicit knowledge that you have to “just” hunt down is generally the cause of difficulty and delay. It has little to do with “purity” and more to do with not wasting my time.
I got so fed up with this that I made a browser extension for it. It's in the Chrome Web Store and Firefox as well, but you'll have to build the xcode project in the Safari directory if that's your preferred browser.

I can understand that. Im not fast at reading at all. I’m thinking while I’m at work, if I’m trying to learn something new, we can’t really have our phones out but we can listen to music. Nothing wrong with music but sometimes I’d like to feel productive. That or when I’m driving somewhere.
Which is why responsible medical practitioners get a medical history, a list of medications, and monitor people closely instead of trusting a cop to diagnose someone with "excited delirium", an affliction very much not accepted by real doctors.

It's almost like having the rental market controlled by Airbnb instead of myriad local hotels is a bad thing

(Or to take another example of the operate-blatantly-illegally-until-you-bribe-your-way-to-legalization and loss-lead-til-monopoly industry, it's almost like having the taxi market controlled by Uber and Lyft instead of myriad local cab companies is a bad thing)

If you own property in your name you could look up your address. Some people do not directly own their house though.

MikroTik is actually mostly configured via a GUI. It's pretty rare to use CLI except to automate stuff.

However, there is only a limited "Quick Settings" option, which supports most basic configurations. For anything more advanced, you do actually have to set it up yourself.

However, the problem with recommending Ubiquiti in the context of an ISP, is that once you hit a wall with it, you are done. You cannot change things that are not supported to be changed, you cannot make it do something it was not "designed" to do.

On Ubiquiti, you can ssh into the VyOS-derived OS on the EdgeRouter (if talking about EdgeOS), but anything you do there cannot be accessed from the webui anymore, and changing anything in the webui will of course destroy what you changed manually over SSH.

At that point, you have an offbrand Linux router that is hindering you, and you either go with MikroTik or upgrade to Cisco equipment. But that Ubiquiti is going on a shelf.

In general, it's quite different running an ISP and running a homelab.

With MikroTik, you can make ANYTHING and everything. And there is no paywall for additional features like some vendors.

Finally, to underline my point, it is required to learn MikroTik's RouterOS before starting an ISP, if you don't want to end up with problems.
Sure, I get that it's a big company and that not everything it does involves selling people dangerous drugs that ruined their lives [1], while simultaneously consulting for the government regulators that regulated those drug companies [2], or aiding government corruption [3], or assisting dictators with their assassinations of pesky journalists [4]. But it's all the same company. I wouldn't want to work for big tech either, but to imply that McKinsey can be better than them in _any way_ is completely laughable.

For me, the same thing happens on Firefox 125.0.2 (64-bit).
People need to think about the special use case that is car rental. Having to figure out an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar city with tight time constraints like being on time for meetings or a flight, the car takes 30+ minutes to “fill up”, is a much bigger challenge than switching your 40 miles a day commute car to an EV, where you can work your way up to longer trips etc. I’m super excited for EVs in general, but rental? I want the simplest guaranteed to work appliance!
The Dreamcast did allow you to use a Windows CE-based SDK, but that was rare. Katana and Ninja were the native SDKs that you could use from SEGA, without touching Windows CE at all.
It sounds like it's related to https://save-nix-together.org/ (that being the most recent thing)?
Cause then everyone tells Google that their demographic is the one that shows ads that pay the best.

Though people are doing that with SEO anyway so it is a weird game.

I think maybe all ads would need to be the same value to fix a lot of the nonsense. But I don't know if that could ever work, especially with how seasonal ad revenue is.
Yes! Especially at work, we can’t have our phones out often but we can listen to music. It’d be nice to just listen. What do you use to convert them?
Show HN: Free create high-quality coloring sheets online no login In
When I have free time, I need to play with my children at home, especially when my children asked me to draw him a dinosaur. I was embarrassed because my poor drawing ability left me at a loss, so my original idea was born.

I hope to quickly generate black and white images that children can color, which can not only free their hands, but also allow children to quickly improve their painting and coloring abilities, and enhance their sense of accomplishment (because they will feel that they are themselves drawn).

Therefore, I launched an AI tool that can generate high-quality coloring materials, it is called ColorifyAI
, is currently completely free and can be used online without logging in. Its main functions are as follows:

● 1. Completely free, without any restrictions, you can use it online after opening it.

● 2. Vincentian picture: Enter the prompt word to generate a clear black and white artistic picture.

● 3. Free download, one-click download, print it out and color it for your children.

● 4. Animation generation, quickly generate various animation characters with one click.

● 5. The response is very fast and you can get the desired image instantly.

All of these are provided for free, you are welcome to experience it. This may not be a good idea, but it should not be buried because of it. I hope people who see this idea can give me more feedback, and I will decide whether to continue based on this. Update iteration.

Wish you well!
I want to try it now!
I used to think these kind of comments were harmless and I normally ignore them.

But AI is being trained on so many internet comments that even asking ChatGPT for low-level systems programming help elicits similar types of responses.

Frustrating.
In west europe PCs were riddled with crapware if you bought a prebuilt windows machine in the 90s and early 00s. Wipe and reinstall windows was first thing I would do with a new PC, it was a necessity.
I don't know about intervening 20 odd years, I used linux, but I recently installed win 11 home and had zero crapware. Windows ISO from microsoft, harder to install than garden variety linux (not hard, just more annoying and takes way longer), but no tiktok, roblox, disney etc.

Maybe it's an EU thing that stopped all the preloaded crap, no idea.

As far as I can tell YouTube has made an effort to detect uBlock, and show full ads.
Yes, at work you should have nothing to hide, specially if you're an employee cos the employer will surely let the bus drive over you and then drive in reverse just to be sure there's no risk of you being alive.
So... Meta might not choose to develop a messenger? Or maybe they would choose to use someone else's system (since again it's open and interoperable)? I'm sorry, where's the issue here?

Lol, the exact same thing happened to me. I was about to leave a very confused comment.
Option 3: just because it is perfectly legal does not mean it should be.

Of course in most cases like this it's actually been illegal for over a century.
Yes, but this is not “Evil Apple”, but the respective governments of those countries forcing Apple to take the action on penalty of being ejected from and country. This is abusive government, not abusive corporation (though it’s arguable that an appeasing company might as well be evil.)
And that's fine, not a chance I'd ever commit a crime for ANY employer. I've had to ask managers to sign off on shit I knew was unlawful before and I'd do it again in the blink of an eye.

No salary is worth the risk of going to jail. It's just another job.
> While microbes fed on carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen to produce edible protein may raise more than a few eyebrows among skeptical consumers,

carbon dixide and oxigen are cheap. Hydrogen is expensive. These kind of post always hide the cost.

Also, to "produce edible protein" you need nitrogen atoms that are not in carbon dioxide, hydrogen and oxygen. If you use nitrogen from the air that is cheap, the conversion is difficult and expensive. If you use another source like nitrates, amonia or urea, they are expensive.

Take all the article with a grain of salt.
I think it’d be more accurate to say “imprecise” rather than “arbitrary.” For example, the legal drinking age is set to 21 (or whatever) based on politicians’ estimation of when most people are mature enough to handle the consequences. It’s true that there is no way to exactly specify a perfect age limit, but that doesn’t mean the limit was set randomly without any reason or basis, i.e., arbitrarily. Sorry if I’m being too pedantic; it’s just one of those nights I suppose.
Thank you! I will try to watch it :)
> I've always considered experts to be people who can do things simultaneously better and worse than a beginner

I agree. This reminds me of the so-called school of kung fu called drunken master. There can be a can't-give-a-fuck about someone who is at the peak of their abilities.
Um, you're talking to yourself.
PWAs are crap, almost as bad as "native" applications that secretly bundle an entire browser.

> their aggressive approach to resolving border disputes

China hasn't fought a war in 40 years. In recent years, there have been some border skirmishes with India between unarmed soldiers (it's not even clear which side initiated them) and some naval confrontations about a few islands with no shots fired, but that's about it. Meanwhile, the US has been fighting wars all around the world.

The post exposure prophylactic treatment is actually only a single dose.

The 72 hours in the link is from time of removal. The 72 hours I reference is how long it typically takes for a tick to regurgitate into a host (it has to feed for some time before it regurgitates). The article referenced it as being engorged. The correct answer is in the middle. It takes 72 hours for the tick to regurgitate, but it could technically crawl off a dead host and on to you. But it's harder to identify if it's engorged. These facts led us to use the doxycycline while the lab confirmed if the tick was positive and how long it was feeding.
Share Google Maps with your friends better
Hi HN,

My wife and I are always sharing our Google Maps lists with our friends who are visiting or traveling to countries where we have been to. Whenever anyone asks for recommendations we spend so much time curating our recommendations to what we know their preferences are.

So I figured why not make it ultra simple to search, filter, and sort our already comprehensive list of restaurants, bars and coffee shops.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Evidence suggests otherwise. Of all demographics, game studios appear to be the most tolerant of buggy software. bladeblablabla

Just go look at CP2077 or BF2042 or Fallout 76 or ...

So many games out there that no one wanted to play until they finally actually made a game that was ready for release, a year or more after they released it.
They’re aware earlier in life than any prior generation ever that the economy of real stuff works on physical statistics and not the memes, contrived rhetoric of history propagated by word of mouth?

Since the 2000s the decline in religious convictions has removed an obligation to a shared “big picture” sense of agency. Cut us open, no words, just mush and goo being crackled at by field effects. Thousands of years of communal “buzz” in our biology, absence of old routines no longer exists for the younger generations whose parents bailed in the late 90s-00s

The only shared purpose is ameliorate each other’s economic anxiety by making sure there’s enough food and TP on shelves.

The dumb rhetorical games are pointless given modern science. Debate the minutiae all you want about what it means big picture but ground truth is enough food, shelter, and healthcare, social life, is all most people want

Keep in mind “disconnection” here means “from social routines of the recent past.” The recent past was disconnected from its recent past, and so on. We don’t speak Latin anymore. The 1900s only exist as a hallucination for the people who experienced it.
Uhh, no, the games we got 15 years ago and before were definitely just as fun.
> There are problems that are easy for human beings but hard for current LLMs (and maybe impossible for them; no one knows). Examples include playing Wordle and predicting cellular automata (including Turing-complete ones like Rule 110). We don't fully understand why current LLMs are bad at these tasks.

Wordle and cellular automata are very 2D, and LLMs are fundamentally 1D. You might think "but what about Chess!" - except Chess is encoded extremely often as a 1D stream of tokens to notate games, and bound to be highly represented in LLMs' training sets. Wordle and cellular automata are not often, if ever, encoded as 1D streams of tokens - it's not something an LLM would be experienced with even if they had a reasonable "understanding" of the concepts. Imagine being an OK chess player, being asked to play a game blindfolded dictating your moves purely via notation, and being told you suck.

> Providing an LLM with examples and step-by-step instructions in a prompt means the user is figuring out the "reasoning steps" and handing them to the LLM, instead of the LLM figuring them out by itself. We have "reasoning machines" that are intelligent but seem to be hitting fundamental limits we don't understand.

You have probably heard of this really popular game called Bridge before, right? You might even be able to remember tons of advice your Grandma gave you based on her experience playing it - except she never let you watch it directly. Is Grandma "figuring out the game" for you when she finally sits down and teaches you the rules?
looks really useful for me
Yes, but doesn't that run on a different layer than the CD drive firmware? I'm specifically referring to this quote:

> Microsoft may have reached some level of completion on that project and sold it to Sega for the Saturn's complicated storage controller, but it's also possible that the connection between the Saturn and MAW is mistaken and the software Microsoft delivered to Sega was a simple, from-scratch effort.

win32/win16 code has a very distinctive style, so I think if an emulator author dumped the firmware and even just looked at it with `strings` it would be pretty obvious whether or not the firmware is some kind of slimmed down version of proto-Windows. At least that's the next place I would look for answers.
Be creative.
I personally think that the idea of Flutter has a potential in itself (see React Native), but bundling it with Dart makes it a non-starter.
It also reduces the precision of numbers. Not sure what else.
Man, that thing keeps chugging! Great news for JAXA, I wonder what additional science they're getting out of it. I know that we would have used any extra time for further downlink. So much data, such little bandwidth!

> Conversely Adsense sells ads based on "targeted users". Which means your original site is pretty useless to Adsense.

But how is the updated site any better? It surely must be, since it made it past the review, right? The whole post just shows how ridiculous and flawed the review process is and what it leads to.
That's a great project. Have you documented anything. Sounds doable, but a leg up would be great.
Rail failed for transit because it's inflexible. Busses already get to be much more efficient than cars and much more flexible than trains. Rail is a fetish.
I wouldn't worry too much, diesel/fuel oil isn't like gasoline or other volatile flammable liquids that ignite easily from sparks. The burner 'gun' gets it to flame only by atomizing it with an intricate nozzle, lots of air, and 100 psi of pressure.
