I'm Adeel, a psychologist who has spent the past six months developing a tool that leverages AI to aid in mental health diagnostics, specifically for ADHD assessments. Our platform uses Llama3 LLM to generate detailed reports within defined boundaries, aiming to streamline the evaluation process.
If you or someone you know could benefit from this, I encourage you to try our assessment on our website. We're in the beta phase and keen on gathering feedback to refine our outcomes.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
It's only a couple of years ago that I learned that "robocalls", which I'd seen mentioned for, what, a decade or more?, are actually fully robotic and not just a telemarketing department using an autodialer for more or less cold calls.

That's how weird this phenomenon is to a european. To me it was a solid "WTF?" moment. Since then I've wondered why I've never heard about US:ians tracking down these operations and destroying them.

What makes you think this? The initial tradition of $FOO probably changed to $BAR two generations later, nevermind thousands of years.
Extracting all domains registered in a Cloudflare account
The strange thing is this can be used effectively. I don't know about full-screen like this, but we were visiting a client recently who used a certain project management software and when you closed an item out, the button changed to green and had this effect on it.

It was subtle, but noticeable enough that after the meeting another developer and I both said "that was a pretty neat effect". It conveyed the sense of "yay, progress!".

Just make it optional.
Oh boy. This is the beginning, not the end.
There is no strategic understanding by any party of this tool (or the Sudoku one): the human "creator" nor the AI agent. Human knowledge is not advanced at all. The LLM can't tell you _why_ it makes its choices - maybe it could pretend to, but the descriptions themselves would probably be hallucinatory.

It's "just a game" but obviously this also applies to AI decision making in much more consequential settings. We should not strive just to come up with "the right answer" but ask _why_ it is the right answer.
Ooh, that’s exciting news. I would love to use acidic, I’ve just been waiting for them to give me a reason.

It’s a long shot, but if GitHub/GitLab added render support for AsciiDoc my life would be complete.

Regardless, it’s impressive and awesome progress.
Firing traditional artillery makes you vulnerable to counter-battery radar. Since rockets, mortars, howitzers, etc all fire in a predictable ballistic trajectory, you have to quickly move or risk being shot at before your rounds even hit their target. An anti-personnel drone can move in any direction and can operate much lower to ground to avoid radar so no one will know exactly where it came from. You don't get as much of a bang but it's much more stealthy.
Honestly I thought they were trying to make a cute pun by calling finger joints 'digital'

Your interpretation is more likely, though. And explains why so many of the joints are weird and look like they'd leave gaps...
I remember this - moving to a 386 computer was fun as the speed depended on the clock speed so playable on an AT but not on a 386.

This was at work and I don't think we played this on the network even though we played Novell games - involving a maze to test the network - which was needed as cabling was temperamental.
You've forgotten blow past the previous state of the art in those contracts. That's part of why overruns happen is the goals tend to be ambitious.
Because our belief in it may influence our actions...

Free will is the experience of making a decision. If we define free will as the ability to make a decision independently of our current state (sensory input, memory, emotions), that's utterly asinine. Neither are you an unfeeling, unthinking slave to entropy, simply printing outputs. You are an introspective machine, which can ask itself why it made decisions and update its own internal state to make different decisions in the future. That's what "free will" is.
Frontline on both sides is saturated with electronic warfare system which are essentially microwaves with open doors. Both sides put them on trucks, armored vehicles, set up near trenches and even carry on their backpacks. There were absurd cases like this https://imgur.com/a/4LqgLED

Drones evolve under this pressure. Dynamic frequency changes, computer vision, maneuvering (like "go up when lost signal") and many more counter measures are adopted on both sides.
I see MTr/mm2 a lot, it feels like a better measure, and it feels like the time is ripe for marketing to make a jump. Bigger is better, "mega" is cool, the numbers are hundreds to thousands in the foreseeable future so no chance of confusion with nm. What's not to love? But hey, I don't make these decisions, and I see no indication that anyone in a position to make these decisions has actually made them. Shrug.
I'm not sure if this would be a solution for you, and I've never used it myself, but I found this interesting secrets management project a few years ago that I always find myself thinking "is that what I want?":

https://git.sr.ht/~egtann/shh

It looks unmaintained, unfortunately, and a link in the README to an article that gives some background is broken (but archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20201128160302/https://www.egt.r...)

Like I said, I haven't used it, I can't vouch for it, but it looked interesting for my own use, which is personal/small team, with an emphasis on simplicity.

Take that for what it's worth! :)
> It is an undeniable fact that today we have a far far greater amount of Scientific and Technological Knowledge

I don't dispute it. What I dispute is the implication I believe your proposing, which is "there is more knowledge, and therefore we need to read broadly and not focus as much on deep understanding". If that is not what you mean, please correct me since I don't see what other implication you mean.

> The utility of some knowledge may not be apparent at its inception but may turn out to be of utmost importance when other fields have also developed so everything can come together into a greater whole.

I don't disagree. But to apply this knowledge later you need to have remembered about it, and writing notes (which is where this discussion started) absolutely helps with this. I'm arguing for writing down the concepts that you found important or interesting at the time, not a synopsis of each subchapter.

> The justification has to do with getting exposed to a greater amount of concepts/ideas and not necessarily understanding/assimilating everything. Here reading widely does make a difference.

But reading widely only makes a difference to the degree that you do assimilate the content and that it changes you.

> Many a time in scientific research one does not even know the utility of something until sometime in the future when things align correctly.

Except we are not talking about doing scientific research (where I agree getting more knowledge is the whole point). We're talking about reading other people's work to get something out of it. And, especially, in this context there is a trade-off between "just in case" knowledge and "just in time" knowledge.
I think I've got possibly the opposite problem of most people. I quickly tire of music. I'm always building brand new playlists, adding 1000 amazing beautiful songs to it, and then getting so tired of it all I just slam skip through 70% of it. Eventually the playlist gets so bogged down I have to make a new one and start over again with all fresh music.

Each time I start over I say to myself "only the best ones get in this playlist" and sure enough I'll only add the very best, my favorite music. Songs that'll be stuck in my head for days. But alas, I fall back to earth and loathe the whole set of them and the cycle repeats.
When Kendrick released Section 80, I tweeted that Kdot will be one of the, if not the best rapper of his generation. Can’t believe it became true.

The attr() function is actually much more powerful in the spec (perhaps one of my favorite part of unimplemented CSS). According to the spec you can supply the type of the function and use it as value (not just content as of now):

<div data-background="lime">Red (but could be lime)</div>

div {
background: red;
}

div[data-background] {
background: attr(data-background color, red);
}

So according to the spec, you should be able to control the sizes, color, and even animation timings with (non-style) attributes.

In reality though, whenever I think I need this advanced attr() function, I usually just solve the issue using Custom Properties on the `style` attribute:

<div style="--background: lime">
For me, at least, the desire for new-to-me music isn't paired with a disdain for repetition or tradition. It's more like that I want to discover more traditions and connect with them, and to develop a better intuition for how the constituents of my musical universe are interconnected.

The traditional use of music you highlight really resonates with the way that I listen to music, incidentally. I joked recently with my roommate that for me, music is poetry with embellishments, while for him, it's drums with embellishments. Lyrical memorization has been a central part of how I've related to most of the music most important to me, too.

I suppose you're right, though. Most people engage relatively casually with music, and that's okay.

Perhaps. It might also collapse to basically an energy market if it were fully fungible.

Market design is really tough, but it might be something worth thinking about here.
Virtually every telephone device in use today, has the ability to change the phone ringtone, its volume, or mute it.

You're literally complaining about your own inability to manage the devices you own.

If there is any violence here, it's you. You with an active phone number, misconfigurating it, then blathering on about the results to others.
Don't let anyone say that the teachers aren't keeping up with technology. Certainly not the gym teachers.
This is also why industries like Bitcoin mining can be so corrosive. You can't stabilize the price of a commodity like energy if there's an entity that can generate nearly infinite demand.
I left before this was “acquired”. So I won’t know specifically for this product.

I do know that Anduril has done this for many of their products including the single rotor drone. Additionally it has all the hallmarks of industrial design. That shell looks way too over the top with those lines.

So I was exaggerating a bit. My mistake. I should say “very incredibly likely an industrial designer was involved to the point of obviousness due to my previous experience with the company”

Solving this using a LLM is novel and interesting, but I'd feel confident in claiming that writing an AI bot for STS using "classic" AI methods would be pretty easy, actually.

At some point I stopped playing it (after, well, 100s of hours), because somehow I felt that its only getting harder without me getting any reward outside of the raw challenge itself - which then feels just like working.

Is there anything I didn't really notice that feels rewarding on higher levels?
"Treadmill" is usually used pejoratively, e.g. hedonistic treadmill.
The big problem with the EU regulations is the lack of consequences when airlines don't follow them. They can just refuse or drag their feet and the worst thing that can happen is a court ordering them to follow the rules they should have followed in the first place. Some rules about treble compensation (or a big compensation if one wasn't due in the first place) if they haven't refunded/paid compensation within, say, 60 days from first contacted would probably help a lot with cutting through the bullshit.
I will admit I only played the computer game, but yes you could die one of several ways, in action, of old age or sometimes having risky surgery to fix an injury. Obviously games from the D&D lineage had similar, but were largely limited to just trying to get the biggest stats possible. The Elder Scrolls series let you choose a class based on a series of life experiences but that was optional and not quite as rich.

> Or, perhaps more realistically, there isn’t a logically correct answer. It’s all just dressed up unsubstantiated opinions on both sides.

I don’t agree with the framing of this. It may be true that there isn’t a knowable “correct” answer, but I think it’s problematic to summarize this as “both sides are just made of opinions”.

I think the pernicious issue is the form of argument present in the “this is all just moral panic” camp.

On the one side, we have deep concerns about the potential problems certain technology will usher in.

On the other side, dismissal of those concerns based on the claim that the present issues are directly analogous to situations of the past that turned out to be fine.

Even if it’s all just opinion, we have to judge those opinions on their merits, and the “it’s just a panic” crowd is on much shakier ground rhetorically.
Show HN: Hoop.dev, Golang server for a web database client
Hi HN,

I’m Andrios, founder and CEO of Hoopdev, and am excited to show you our web database client with a Go-based language server that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, we’re launching our Free plan and anyone can start using it. It works with any browser.

Desktop database clients have always felt clunky to me. After 10 years of programming, I still find myself struggling with basic tasks—like securely configuring access or just trying to pull data from a different device. Every time I'm away from my main setup, it feels like I'm locked out of my own data. These hurdles slow me down and remind me why we need to push for web-based solutions that are not just powerful, but also intuitive and accessible right from the browser.

At Hoopdev we are building a Clojurescript client and Golang server that keeps what’s best about database clients while modernizing the experience in the web. We’ve built

1) Schema navigation and autocompletion that works with any db 2) Grouped outputs: so you can easily copy, search, and share query outputs 3) AI-powered Data Masking and Community-sourced Workflows [0]: so you can build your own middlewares 4) The ability to share your outputs with teammates: no more pasting long unformatted SQL into Slack 5) Runbooks: save your team’s common queries into a Git repo so your teammates can run them form a web form.

We built a new type of language server that runs on Kubernetes, it is a lightweight Golang GRPC proxy that can scan and modify layer 7 packets in real-time (this is what enables real-time AI data masking). UI uses Clojurescript. You can self-host the full solution.

Our business model is to make the database client so useful for individuals and small teams that their companies will want to pay for the team and security features. We will never sell your data.

You will notice that a log-in is required and that we do collect usage data and crash reports. We do so because we’re spinning up backend resources for each user and also to keep improving the product. We’ll soon allow users to opt out of usage data. You can see our privacy policy here [1].

It is early, but we are confident that even today the experience is meaningfully better than in many desktop database clients. Please give it a shot at Hoop.dev and let us know how it goes.

Follow us on Twitter [2]. Let me know what you think! Ask me anything!

> 1. There is still a lot of criticism about SQL.

And rightly so, while you can write whole programs inside it, the debugger/tooling/syntax for most if not all implementations is some mix of inferior/more arcane/legitimately worse.

> 2. Users use higher level languages (e.g. "ORMs") [without involving SQL?]

In certain fields (web dev in particular) with "Enterprise" development mindsets, this is often true. ORMs make it eas(y|ier) to hide your SQL.

At least, until you screw something up and end up either rolling back (expensive) or writing various code snippets (often in SQL) to undo changes. So even in the most common case, no you end up writing SQL if you are doing anything non-trivial or making trivial mistakes.

As an aside, this more or less lines up with my experience, any time there's an additional target (SQL, Assembly, IL, make files from cmake, visual studio projects from random build system, autotools), usually the higher level tool doesn't save me from having to debug the lower level one. It usually just gets in my way and I curse the person who was "making my life easier".

Source code in a common language does an unusually good job at this, actually, its a miracle I don't usually need to bust out reversing tools or stare at processor assembly. But these are the popular, well-trodden-path tools, the fringe ones usually are not worth the trouble. ORMs are just barely worth it, IMO.

> 3. Its flaws don't impact all that many people.

Hard disagree - I posit most tools worth using are more complicated than the "easy" case, which is a dictionary - inputs and outputs. A "tool" usually has several dictionaries, or several relational tables. So after your third relation, it becomes very easy to miss-design queries (maybe the tooling has just got way better? But that's been my experience, at least).

And then, if its affecting most tools, its affecting those people who use those tools. So I'd argue the effect is actually very common, if only underappreciated ("I upgraded my PC to be 10x faster and things are fast now!" - used to be a common refrain, that's less true each year).

> 4. It is a shame [that SQL is mostly used as a compiler target] as it needn't be that way.

Agreed. Although normally in ORM situations, you'll find the complex/difficult queries hard coded (with parameters of course), so it is used (as not just a compiler target?).

> 5. A well designed relational calculus could avoid these abstractions that come with their own problems.

Maybe? Despite complaining, I'm not a database guru, however if you've been paying attention to AI at all, graph databases seem to appear to be superior, in function and form. Relational databases are good enough for many things, but I don't think they are the form most natural for data, just what we as humans like to see as reports.
I think when you play with veterans that do not care about their personal power, but about the story itself, traveler can be great fun.
> Darien was being investigated as of December in a theft investigation that had been initiated by Eiswert. Police say Darien had authorized a $1,916 payment to the school’s junior varsity basketball coach, who was also his roommate, under the pretense that he was an assistant girls soccer coach. He was not, school officials said. Eiswert determined that Darien had submitted the payment to the school payroll system, bypassing proper procedures. Darien had been notified of the investigation, police said.

> Police say the clip was received by three teachers the night before it went viral. The first was Darien; a third said she received the email and then got a call from Darien and teacher Shaena Ravenell telling her to check her email. Ravenell told police that she had forwarded the email to a student’s cell phone, “who she knew would rapidly spread the message around various social media outlets and throughout the school,” and also sent it to the media and the NAACP, police said.

So, in this case, clear motive, a prominent figure, and a suspicious chain of custody gave the cops a reason to dig in a bit, but not everyone's gonna be that dumb about it.

The swatters who do this to random people are gonna have a field day with this.
> > I just got into the habit of saying “yes” to pretty much anything.

> Isn't this also just a form of survivorship bias? You wouldn't be posting this from prison for example.

Note that "pretty much everything" is a proper subset of "everything" and could well be defined as "everything except the obviously stupid stuff that's highly likely to lead to bad outcomes", and this from a sample that's already biased in your favour -- e.g. the vast majority of places you can go in the universe would kill you instantly, but the vast majority of places someone might suggest going to, or offer to go to with you, won't.

If you filter out the "let's go see the Titanic in my home-made submarine" ideas, your odds are actually quite good.
Zed Decoded: Rope and SumTree
It's pretty cool how cheap and capable microcontroller dev boards are these days, I just have a stash of two-three dozen esp8266's, esp32s and rp2040s laying around, convenient to just be able to grab one whenever something I'm tinkering with could use some intelligence.
In this case, the Piet palette uses about 8 different colors and 3 different "steps" of luminance, so it seems hard to mess it up too much even if it's based more on a human understanding of colors then a mathematic one (orange -> orange, light blue -> light blue, dark blue -> dark blue, white -> white, etc).

It's also interesting to note that, for Piet, the colors themselves don't have any particular meaning, the instructions are encoded by the differentials between one color and the "next" color in the program direction, with blocks of continuous colors encoding noops. So moving from red to light red is a [0,-1] change, (no hue, 1 step lightness), and moving from blue to dark red is a change of [4,1] (4 steps of hue, 1 step of darkness). So the exact colors don't matter too much
The name Anduril means “Flame of the West”, which sounds cool as hell. But it feels a little icky to me given the ideological proclivities of Palmer Luckey and Thiel.
There's just a lot more variability due to the sheer number of "pieces" and the fact that you can combo moves... but maybe it's just a matter of scaling
Which ironically enough, probably makes you more qualified than most to write efficient SQL or even a SQL implementation.
Hmm, that's odd. Not sure exactly which approval you are referring to, but here is my experience:

The Spotify Web API actually required no approval, because it does not integrate with the user's account.

The current version of my app uses AppleScript, and was approved by the App Store within 24 hours. The next version will use Scripting Bridge, but I don't anticipate that will be an issue.

In the most technical sense, my app is not really an extension to the Spotify app, it is a standalone app that communicates with the Spotify app using Apple Events.

Hope this helps :-)
I don't think there is any reason to believe LLM is the best kind of AI to solve a game (unless the game is about natural languages).

AlphaGo Zero isn't LLM. The Dota bot that beat pro gamers is not LLM.
