I recently read an article (linked from HN) detailing someone's experience trying to get their site to carry Google Ads, and basically being instructed to turn it into a content farm, turning that person's nice site with organic content into garbage.

Google will only target content farms (for removal from its search, or ranking downgrade) that don't carry Google ads.

Show HN: Can't Grok This Paper? AI can now generate explainer videos(and slides)
Anyone else ever get lost in a research paper, rereading the same paragraph five times? Just me? Lately, I've been diving into AI papers...and boy, sometimes they're quite dense. So, I started tinkering with this tool that would take a research paper (or any PDF, really) and try to make it more digestible. The idea was to automatically summarize the main points, maybe even generate some slides for presentations, taking both the text and visual content. It's been surprisingly helpful! I've used it to generate videos explaining AI papers, detailed project reports, and even articles filled with technical jargon. I'm curious, are there other ways you think this could be useful? Maybe for internal company policy document summaries or even turning book chapters into quick video recaps? If you're interested in checking it out, I built a simple web app named BrainyDocuments. Feedback and ideas are very welcome!
That's not what the 4% rule means. The 4% rule (modified to 3% by OP) is what you can withdraw without running out of principle. Maintaining the level of principle is a different thing entirely.

Average nominal should be ignored anyway. It's never been a practical number for the individual investor to rely on. Mistakes, allocation models, people having less to invest when times are bad (and market is low), etc.
They are also probably trying to reproduce Ancient Greek pronunciation, which treats diphthongs differently. I believe in Ancient Greek the sounds were pronounced closer to how they are spelled, and the collapse into diphthongs happened later (nt -> d, mp -> b, ai -> e, etc.).

No, that’s fraud. This is a way to use bankruptcy to pay out claims versus reduce them—the parent company guarantees the subsidiary’s liabilities.

Does anyone care what goes on in the mind of a person making a healthcare LLM product? I think we all know what they’re thinking: ride the hype train; get paid.

IMO, unless you have really serious reasons, it would be silly to turn "a decade of hard work" into two decades of hard work. With an even lower chance of your new language getting traction.

Nothing prevents you from launching a working language first and then replacing the backend later. That's what Zig folks are working on at the moment. And nightly Rust recently got experimental support for Cranelift backend.

Compiler frontends don't start out self-hosted either, anyway. Because it's literally impossible. The first implementation has to use something else that already exists

I read this DMCA notice, and it's... completely reasonable. Emulators are legal. Distributing copyrighted crypto keys is not.

If Yuzu devs want their emulator to stay up, they shouldn't include those crypto keys. All they have to do is provide a user interface for users themselves to provide these keys.

I must have a different idea of what "fundamentals" are, because map being implemented as a binary tree isn't a fundamental, but simply an implementation detail.

When I think of the fundamentals, I think of the lower-level stuff like pointers, memory management (malloc/free/new/delete), and avoiding buffer overflows.
Wow. Thank you for dropping this note.
Oh it just so happens to be his portfolio.
At some point in my lifetime, the mindset switched from "I'm investing because I want to see long-term, steady growth and get regular dividends" to "I want to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible and damn the consequences to others".

The short-sightedness and greed is destroying so much.
I think there are some intentional reasons it sounds that way, but I think there are also some incidental reasons: The reverb in that venue is crazy - it really jumps out at me how much it sort of resolves to a tone of its own, which has to sometimes be dissonant with what’s being by played / sung. So what you’re hearing isn’t always in tune. Additionally, this is an expressive performance, so between the echo and the interpretative approach to the meter, what you’re hearing isn’t always in time either.
Those talk that about "disinformation" do so to assume some moral high-ground. The reasonable ones assume all the information out there is hostile and seeks to influence them. Because that's precisely how human interaction works. It's for the individual to discern the quality of information.

The patronizing attitude towards philosophy of epistemology is truly baffling. As if one is able to make such vast statements.
Where I grew up, crayfish are freshwater mudbugs; those would be rock lobsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4QSYx4wVQg .

Also where I grew up, we had a "baseball analogy" for dating, in which running the bases proceeds more or less as follows:

1st base - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_kTor63Ihw

2nd base - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHOo_b6Gn4c

3rd base - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rB0pHI9fU

home run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1niTEkP-6eo

So I would say (referring to the diving video!) that fingers in wet crevices and feeling around would be 3rd while sticking spears in and suddenly releasing tension would defo be a home run.

In countries that don't really have baseball as a sport that anyone plays, does the same pattern apply? Are there different analogies, perhaps involving "silly mid ons" or "brexit tackles"?
It's not easy but you can find similar (even arguably better) climate in Europe (Cyprus, Canary Islands, Malta) at a much cheaper COL, with lower crime rate, healthier food - and even less taxes with the right choices.

I am now a good bit past this age, but I think 33 is a good enough age for almost anything, assuming that we are talking about the exceptional individuals who could get nominated at this age in the first place.

I have seen some studies floating around that the most successful age to start a business is 45, so maybe that's closer to ideal, but in any case you will never convince me that the best age is in your late 70s.
This comment of yours is weird to me because you’ve taken a very politically slanted perspective.

Seems more likely that you haven’t considered that you are less likely the notice the disinformation that you agree with.

I’m saying this as someone who cannot possibly be construed as “far right” at all. I just think you should consider your own perspective a bit more before you claim that “everyone is the problem, but of course when we do it it’s a Russian operation” should set of alarm bells.
How does it work? Reach out to media and technology platforms to silence competing narratives.
Even if what you claim is correct (which I doubt and you aren't going to offer any evidence), it is irrelevant since you are working in the US and they are not. Moreover, their claim was about "expressing opinions on non work related subjective political topics" while yours is about what constitutes harassment. And this is perhaps what they experienced too. They are told that when someone says "hi" they should reply with "hi", but on the Internet this is blown way out of proportions to be about how every job they ever been at tried to stifle political speech.
>Things typically become labeled "medicine" when they've been work and have been tested

Eh, sometimes. But often things labeled "medicine" are things that companies can get FDA approval for, patent, manufacture, ensure shelf stability, label with a brand, and sell to customers at a high margin. There are lots of plants that are proven to work but aren't sold to customers because they can't meet some of those criteria. They aren't necessarily worse, just can't be be sold at scale profitably.
Even easier: just don't include the keys. The algorithms are likely fine to include.
A company owning real estate, paying 8% dividends with a 65% payout ratio isn't going to have its dividends disappear overnight.

I can buy O (Realty Income) right now and lock in a ~6% yield. They didn't cut their dividend even during the GFC. And I think O is one of the poorer options of REITs to choose from right now.

What do you mean?

This entire thread is about retirement, where fixed income becomes important. If you're 75 do you want to wait 10 years for the market to recover to resume selling your principle?

Well before GenAI, CStross has blogged about the value-add of editors being quite large.

I suspect he probably can't give a complete answer to the relative expense of human editors for human vs. AI writing given that he's said that the merest hint of GenAI in his profession would be a reputational death sentence.

Tell HN: On the Metaphysics of Retrocausality
Retrocausality has a human dimension which I term moral non-commutativity, meaning that the order in which we make moral operations does matter. In discussions with professionals in psychology I have been told that they do sometimes have patients which do not seem to observe the difference between "my children starve, therefore I steal" and "I steal, and my children also starve." Taken to an extreme this psychological interaction of time-travel morality seems to have an effect on the integrity of the observer, meaning that a retrocausal Consequentialist observer is not the same as a classical Deontologist causal observer. This does feel like something with deep implications for what kind of human does the surviving.

Thank you for reading.

Fall prevention to start. This is relatively benign and a good place for health staff to gain comfort around the technology.

Many nurses already have an internal sense when a model might be “off” for a patient, so it’s easier to know when it’s predicting accurately or not.

People think you can legislate things into existance. Rent to high? Just make high rent illegal and problem solved!

Reading it here looks like a joke, but there are huge swaths of people continually prodding legislators to pass laws exactly as knee-jerkishly naive as this.
Step 3.5 Doctor rewrites analysis to go with whatever the AI spits out because:

* Too busy (assumptions were made that patient load could increase with ML support)

* Too scared of being sued even if the doctor disagrees

* Too scared of being fired because the doctor keeps overriding the "cost effective" ML verdicts

We've seen this play out over and over in the medical field. I've watched my Primary Care physician go from angst over patient outcomes to angst over statistical outcomes for his department. It took 15 years, but the system got him.
Out here, they’re all being bought up by VCA.

My vet is absolutely considering selling his practice. We (selfishly, not seriously) suggested selling his practice and then opening a new one closer to where we live. (We moved out of the area several years ago, but continue to drag the cats in to see him.)

We said it in gest but he said he was already giving it serious consideration. When he bought his practice from the previous vet, the original owner did exactly that —- opening a new practice elsewhere.
Sigh. The philosophy of science is a well-established field. This isn't a controversial or fringe thing. To know this requires a few minutes of reading on Wikipedia.

No one thinks that Hubbard is a philosopher of science, probably not even Scientologists. (Because it's a different thing entirely.)

How can you be the author of a series on science and not be the slightest bit familiar with the field? And you want people to take your ideas seriously?

I'll say it again for the third time: this isn't a serious discussion.

> I struggle to find what could be so sensitive that an assassination is ever an option.

When Putin's regime punishes a critic or dissident, it is not done to stop this particular critic disclosing something sensitive. It is done as a warning to future critics. If you think this principle is never applied by western agencies, look at what happened to Julian Assange - after being prosecuted for 12 years the dude has lost it and Ecuador has kicked him out for smearing faeces on embassy walls.

Additionally, western corporations were, multiple times, accused of being involved in assassinations of union leaders in developing countries.

And they used to do it in the USA, in 1920's.

> Desktop GPUs only got instruction-level preemption not that long ago

And even then it's often limited to already scheduled shaders in the queue - things like the register files being statically allocated at task schedule time means you can't just "add" a task, and removing a task is expensive as you need to suspend everything, store off the (often pretty large) register state and any used shader local data (or similar), stop that task and deallocate the shared resources. It's avoided for good reason, and even if it's supported likely a rather untested buggy path.

If you run an infinite loop on even the latest Nvidia GPU (with enough instances to saturate the hardware) you can still get "hangs", as it ends up blocking things like composition until the driver kills the task. It's still nowhere near the experience CPU task preemption gives you.
Panpsychism is as necessary to explain consciousness. Why can't it (and qualia) just be emergent behaviors?

I don't believe that's a fair assessment. You made an assertion, I provided data based on the domestic birth rate and the immigration rate. If there is another component that would lead to population growth, please share, but those are the two levers that lead to a population growth outcome.

There absolutely has been a surge in immigration (asylum seekers/economic migrants) recently [1] [2] [3], this is a fact, and the current administration is aware enough to be contemplating taking action to stem it [4]. Your source cites this, snippet below this paragraph.

"Recent increases in encounters of asylum seekers and other migrants at U.S. borders reflect a number of factors, including worsening political and economic conditions in origin countries; the uneven repercussions of the pandemic; the war in Ukraine; and the perception that U.S. policy has become more welcoming."

We can haggle over what words (immigration) mean, but the numbers are straightforward, are they not?

> Better theories in what sense?

> However, some people tend to misinterpret it (possibly due to a suppressed religious impulse finding its way) as revealing objective truth through its models

But science does reveal objective truth, in the sense that it reveals truths (or at least very good approximations to truths) that are independent of what anyone's opinions are. What it does not do is reveal metaphysical truth, but that's not the same thing. But even then, it does put constraints on what metaphysical truth could be. For example, unless quantum mechanics is wrong (which is extremely unlikely) then it is not possible for metaphysical truth to be classical.

For, many, many, many reasons. That would be two huge programs. First you would have to rebuilt the very expensive, very costume Apollo stuff again. And then you have to do a very expensive modernization.

Things are simply not done now, as they are done in the 60s. The manufacturing methods are completely different. The supply chains are complete different. The organization of NASA is completely different. The politics of Congress is different. Society is completely different.

The Apollo hardware was a product of its time and its context. You couldn't build it exactly as they did even if you tried.

Why would you rebuild an analog computer from the 60s when you can get 100x more computation power in a 1 cent microchip? Or better solar panels? Or better communication.

And once you are making fundamental changes anyway, why be linked to choices from the 1960s still? Just because Apollo was successful doesn't mean it was a 100% flawless and perfect program.

There are some parts of Apollo tech that are reused in various ways, and lots of data from Apollo is used. But more then that doesn't make a lot of sense. The Orion Heat-Shield is pretty much like the Apollo Heat-Shield. But even in that simple case, they had to do a lot of work to replicated that. So the idea that 'make it like Apollo' was a great money-safer is simply wrong. The opposite is true, looking backward towards Shuttle and Apollo is holding the space program back.

But Apollo was also a different goal and a different architecture. Artemis wants to have people one the moon for weeks. Apollo did only a few days. The capsule is far bigger. The lander can land far more weight, in case of Starship, about 100t. They are planning a rover that people can live in for 30 days.

There are exceptions. For example, the F-1 engine was considered for modernization multiple times. When NASA built the SLS, a F-1 based Saturn V like rocket was considered. And in fact, such a rocket did actually score better then the Shuttle based pre-SLS when they did the evaluation around 2011.

However it was not picked because of various political power plays from different people, both inside NASA and inside congress. The Shuttle is what dominated NASA for 30 years, and Shuttle interest matter, Apollo interest don't. That's why SLS looks like the Shuttle.

But even that is wrong as it would have been even cheaper to make this properly competitive, like they did with COTS. So SpaceX, ULA and other could have build what they needed. This was actually considered but was politically not viable at that time.

By now you can use the Raptor engine, its just leagues better then even a modernized F-1. So whats the point?

Orion was built for the early 2000 Bush moon mission and has survived because of politics. Nobody sane would build it that way again. But its not politically possible to kill it. So for 20 years it has stuck around in search of a mission. Its design really constrains the architecture you have to use.

Yeah, that's nonsense, the moralizing is entirley yours. Some information is obviously from a single source with an obvious agenda devoid of normal logic that ignores all evidence. I give the characteristics that identify it.

Of course some people will evaluate all information with critical thinking but they are not the majority, and most can be influenced merely by repetition or the illusion of consensus or something near it.
