iOS does not ship with a plain text editor as far as I know. I think it's _kind of_ there underneath when you open a plain text file directly, but it needs to be associated with the app that's accessing it.

As an aside, iAWriter is very good. I use that paired with Syncthing for cross-platform working.

I think this is probably not true.

This is a great point and you're probably right.

Really? What do you do nowadays?

(I glanced at your bio and website and you seem to be doing interesting things, I've also dabbled in Computational Geometry and 3d printing.)
You already answered your own question imo. The web is the best thing we have so far and nothing comes closer to the full package. It literally is write once and write everywhere.

All the other alternatives are young frameworks that have not been battle tested and have weird quirks once you want anything relatively complicated.
How hard can it be? It's only 30 papers.

Maybe someone should ask Chuck Norris how long it took him. Who wants to go first?
I assumed someone would retort with this angle, but I hoped people would interpret my comment charitably without me littering it with a dozen caveats.

Of course work isn't the only responsibility.

Of course some people have kids, pets, parents, medical conditions, etc.

It's one week away from work. It can still be done. You weren't going to be taking care of any other responsibilities during your normal 9-5 hours, so that should have no bearing on the week you take off; treat it as any other work week, except you're working for yourself.
This seems to be a tragic tale of an overworked and understaffed hospital with a terrible track record treating patients with delicate conditions pinning the blame on the young nurse who was just picking up more shifts so she could save for a house.

If you flip a coin a hundred times there’s going to be a run of seven heads somewhere in the list. It’ll look like a pattern but it’s not.
Flip it around and assume she had tried to orchestrate the deaths. There’s no coherent story about how she could, and more importantly why she would.

She happened to be present at a lot of deaths. But there were a lot of deaths to be present for and she was there more often because she took more shifts. I bet a statistical analysis of her increased likelihood of being present for a death is directly proportional to the number of extra shifts she took.
Yeah, I was trying to stay on topic but flagrant violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are really Lawrence Summers’s speciality.

I’m pretty embarrassed to have former colleagues who openly defend shit like this.
Sometimes you're just sketching in a notebook, or working on a shell script, a Makefile, something you don't do often enough to have the syntax and idiosyncrasies at the tip of your fingers. Sometimes you're doing something very mechanistic but not easy to automate, like converting some filtering logic from one DSL to another. Sometimes there's just a lot of typing required to do something conceptually very simple. I find Copilot very useful in these side quests, but when I'm working on the hard stuff, the core functionality, it often just outputs nonsense that takes more time to review/fix than it would take to just write it myself. So it takes some learning of when to use it and when to ignore it but I've come around to appreciate it at times.
Interesting, does your crawler check every link every hour, or does it go through them a batch at a time?
I don't think that's true, thinking back to university, if I 'locked myself in a hotel room' and did nothing but study a given topic, I reckon you could get a decent grasp of more than one lecture course.

Of course not being able to ask someone any questions would be disadvantage (but is that even a 'rule' of this scenario? Surely at least the internet is allowed, i.e. a person to ask who's available to anyone), and it would have been a lot easier while at university than with X years' rust on the background maths etc. - but still, seven full days is a lot of time if you choose to completely dedicate it to some particular thing, we just generally don't do that, so it doesn't sound it.
Shoddy contractors can then give you a shoddy service with a shoddy robot.

Quality contractors will still be around, but everyone will try and beat them down on price because they care about that more than quality. The good contractors won't be able to make any money because of this and will leave the trade....just like now, just like I did
Ask HN: Good examples of applications that just works
I'm just wondering, in this phase where AI is being applied to almost any software, where may I find some good examples of applications that just do their work? I'm talking about open source but also great paid products that are not "hyped".

What I'd like to have is a collection of application that may be useful for people lurking/visiting HN.

What I do not consider a good application:

- if you force your user through a subscription, without providing a good option (e.g. no only-saas-software), but if there's a self-hosted option/lifetime license you may still post.

- if you force AI or use the data for training LLM

- if you use dark patterns to force users to do an action
Theories that are worth investigating should be based on past evidence. They should be attempts to explain things we have observed. If they aren't they are wild speculation, and as I said, anti-science.
Next.js: Ever wrestle with multi-step forms?
I know I did. That's why I built this open-source project - FormulateFlow:
Just type how many pages you need and what information you want to capture and that's it!
90% of the boilerplate code is generated for you

https://www.veed.io/view/97572892-452b-44f6-a7d2-6bf743ae084...

Formulate will generate code with this tech stack:

Next.js 14

Tailwind CSS

Zod

React Hook Form

zustand

If that's not your usual tech stack, no worries! FormulateFlow might not be the perfect fit just yet. But hey, maybe it sparks some inspiration for your next project?

Feel free to check it out on GitHub and let me know what you think!

https://github.com/XamHans/formulateflow
I am pretty sure that I have implemented a lot of functions before that would be almost (or completely) identical (not including variable names, indentation, etc.) to that of someone else's work. The smaller the function, the more likely it seems to be true, and some programming languages encourage you to write concise functions.
You're saying that you love the integrity of the legal system being jeopardised and juries being interfered with?

I've noticed I'm fairly anti-American most of the time, but even I wouldn't have taken that away from this. Jesus.
The underlying assumption of e.g. food distribution are that a certain part of infrastructure remains intact. This assumption comes into greater question the more individual parts are dependant on large software installations.

E.g. some countries have an entire redundant telecommunications network for government functions precisely so that it can actually withstand such a scenario. The more enmeshed that infrastructure is into other systems the more likely it is that it too will fail.
> why would anyone spend the millions of dollars in engineering effort to move

Why would it take millions of dollars to move?
"A likely candidate for an orbital is waht's called an O'Neil Cylinder: 3-4 miles in diameter, 10-20 miles long, producing Earthlike gravity on the interior by spinning. Smaller than this and it needs to spin too fast. Larger than this and you need stronger materials to stop it ripping itself apart from centrifugal forces. Stainless steel is sufficiently strong to build an O'Neil Cylinder;"

It's unclear what exactly you mean by "too fast", but assuming you're referring to human tolerances: human tolerances from NASA + Soviet studies put unambiguous, continuous tolerance without needing medication or training or anything else at 2rpm, which equates to a diameter of 450m. That is a lot smaller than an O'Neill cylinder and a lot more feasible to build sometime soon. IMO the best option is to build a 100m diameter testbed now from Earth materials, as the successor to the ISS. Then take the lessons learned there and build a 450m diameter prototype, which we can use space materials for if space mining has developed enough. We could technically throw enough material into orbit for a 450m diameter cylinder but it would be a lot of material. Any of the larger sizes and we'd need real-deal asteroid mining to make that happen.

Basically, build a small testbed now to conduct actual experiments on human health at different gravity levels + RPMs, and also start trying to figure out asteroid mining. Build a bigger prototype habitat once we can get materials for it, either from massive launch cost reductions or asteroid mining. After that point we really do need asteroid mining.
Seemingly it's using a <canvas> to render everything just like Flutter on Web, which is known to have problems with accessibility and feel non-native.
Not wrong. Reread the post. I said "clearly protected by the first amendment". That doesn't mean that our government hasn't enacted laws which go against the constitution. They do this all the time, it just goes unchallenged in the higher courts. And even the higher courts can be compromised.

I'm speaking on legal consistency. I know people are sitting in jail for drawings, why do you think I'm making this case in the first place?
Why would you use the energy on a planet? Clearly you would use the energy in space, probably in some of the same satellites that are gathering energy
The first time someone is "overly optimistic with a timeline", you should forgive them.

The tenth time, you should have the good sense to realize that they're full of shit and either a habitual liar or utterly incompetent.
> First, the postmaster didn't know the content of those mails

Are you sure? Perlustration was common practice during WWI. These people developed sophisticated techniques to open letters and then seal them back up so that it appears completely unopened.
> If it's a person vs a corporation of significant size, then no, it's not safe to assume that people have free choice

We understand this as a market dynamic, surely? More companies are looking for capable AI people, than capable AI people exist (as in: on the entire planet). I don't see any magic trick a "corporation of significant size" can pull, to make the "free choice" aspect go away. But, of course, individual people can continue to CHOOSE certain corps, because they actually kind of like the outsized benefits that brings. Complaining about certain trade-offs afterwards is fairly disingenuous.

> That's also ignoring motivations apart from business ones, like them actually wanting to be at the leading edge of AI research or wanting to work with particular other individuals.

I don't understand what you are saying. Is the wish to work on leading AI research sensible, but offering the opportunity to work on leading AI research not a value proposition? How does that make sense?
Who said anything about profit? This is legacy building, a reason to have gotten all that money and power.
If this is a miscarriage of justice then it has to be one of worst cases ever.

I am not in the UK so I have not been privy to local news reports, thus my knowledge of this case comes only from this story in The New Yorker (which comes with biases, whatever they may be). Nevertheless, there are aspects† of this story that I find disturbing—uncertain statistics, differing medical opinions, uncertain medical diagnosis, Letby's demeanor and responses, and others. Also there have been too many cases in recent times where many have jumped to false conclusions without certain proof of guilt. Moreover, in such high profile cases modern news reporting often leads to sensational stories where any hint of bias can lead to a common group-think or belief that can be wrong.

Not only is terrible harm done to an innocent person found guilty of a crime they didn't commit—especially one of such magnitude—but also it harms and badly undermines the justice system. It's why I am one of those who unapologetically believes in the old saying 'that it's better to let a dozen guilty go free than to convict one innocent person'.

That this story has appeared as it has suggests others also have considerable misgivings about this case. In fairness to all and in the interests of justice one can only hope more definitive evidence comes to light that brings certainty one way or the other.

__

† I'm assuming basic facts of the case have been reported with reasonable accuracy, if not they'd be easily detected especially so when published by such a prestigious magazine.
Baloney. We can not build one that is of any use. That is the speculative part of it. Inherent in looking for it is that it's an extremely worthwhile, nearly inevitable, idea. We have zero evidence for that.
> Well, they'd actually be shares owned by a clearing house and promised to me but that's a very different rabbit hole.

You still own the shares, not the clearing house. They hold them on your behalf.
> 8 gigabit fiber ISP only gives me IPv4 connectivity.

Just like my ISP (but not 8 gbit!). Luckily, IPv6rs actually tunnels through IPv4 (or 6) and provides an IPv6 address. You don't need one to start!

I don't know the ins and outs for flannel, but maybe you could setup IPv4 internally and use IPv6 (and an IPv4 Reverse Proxy) for the public internet?

I agree, though, IPv6 on its own can be hard but thanks to WireGuard, tayga (NAT64), and nginx/caddy/etc. (reverse proxy), it's definitely quite usable!
First and foremost, fuck Github. It doesn't define who you are and what you are capable of. Don't buy into it.

For reference, my Github is set to private and has a single repository pointing people to my personal site. My personal site has 8 sentences on it. It says who I am and what I've built (software products). I don't blog. I don't share code.

What you need is to be able to demonstrate what you are capable of. If you have it in you, it's even better to demonstrate you are not another code monkey that is more interested in 1s and 0s than humans.

My suggestion (biased, from what I've done) is to build one or more products (ex: a SaaS product, etc).

In the best case your product brings in enough money you never need to work for someone else. In the worst case you demonstrate the ability to build a product geared towards regular human beings.
This is really good to know, thanks! Was this for every LLM or only Claude?
That sounds like a more plausible explanation.
We don’t know if the proof did exist. The complexity of the one we have is an indication that he did not tell the truth, whether that was a genuine mistake, a joke or something else. For sure it wasn’t the longest time gap between a problem statement and a solution.

Yes, rebuilding civilization from scratch would be a difficult task, taking centuries if not millennia, if no knowledge is preserved. However we do preserve it and do spend considerable effort, what cannot be said about our culture and individual experiences.
Hmm, extractnet seems somewhat promising:

But yes, jokes aside, hypotheses are also needed for science.
Well, by that metric we have 0.0000000001% of a Dyson sphere created.

It is incredibly hard to maintain an unused system. The Internet is the default mode of communications because it outperforms all other options on most metrics. Any backup would go nearly totally unused and therefore couldn't be effectively used during an outage.
I wouldn't strictly call it "work", but I do get the occasional form or two that I need to fill in or whatever. This doesn't happen nearly often enough for me to bother with MS Office, but it does happen sometimes.
It's not like English doesn't have compound words. It's generally "patient data" and not "patients' data" because the words form a compound noun in the same way that "patientendaten" in German and "patientendata" in Dutch form a compound noun.

What's more, English also does togetherwriting. Are "web site" and "website" counted as two words when doing an English word count? Or are words like "web site" simply not included (only "web" and "site" separately)?

(Fun fact: website is webseite in German, where "seite" actually means "page" and not site at all, so you're really saying webpage which, in turn, happens to also exist with a nearly interchangeable meaning in english. I wonder how many circles of meaning there are like that! ChatGPT wasn't able to come up with any, at least not without prompt tweaking or follow-ups)
Ask HN: How do you build a landing page?
Hi! I am proficient in web fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP server interaction etc), and can use this to build websites or web applications, but... Building a marketing-friendly landing page seems like something else entirely!

I notice that even non-technical people build landing pages much nicer than any I've built. Are there popular tools? What do you recommend? Do they lock you into an ecosystem? How do they tie in to the rest of your application and/or domain? Can you have one just generate the HTML, CSS, and JS required as static files? Thank you!

I'm talking something where a normal person would see and think "This looks very professional and I want this". Photos of attractive people, reviews, lists of companies that use your service, just enough animations etc.

For a sample of what I'm talking about, see any of the Show HN pages.
How Does ChatGPT Think?
Sometimes you have pretty much all the prerequisite knowledge but are still missing a crucial piece that would help you "piece it together" and make a significant advance.

Mostly rural southern Chile got fiber before the coaxial-dependent capital because of the same problem.
For those who don't know, "Jike" means "即刻" in Chinese pinyin, which literally means "right now".
It occurred to me once, years ago, that drug dealers could take credit card payments by setting up a porn site and accepting subscription payments through it. Then it occurred to me that a drug dealer probably already thought of that…
A lot of the content from the early days was on platforms which are long dead:

- Geocities

- University-provided FTP folder (deleted after you graduate)

- ISP-provided FTP folder (all those Earthlink, Juno, Comcast sites: probably deleted)
That's a great idea! I'd be totally up for prosecuting anyone running a Ethereum node used for laundering money too. At this point they really have no excuse; they know what they're doing is illegal, and are still continuing to execute the smart contracts.

> So why is the guy who quite brilliantly conceived and executed this idea being punished like this?

I mean, you say it yourself. They're the ones who actually executed on the idea. They didn't write a paper on this being theoretically possible. They wrote the code. They deployed the code. They marketed it. They continued operating the system for years, and profited monetarily from it.

That there are other people who are also culpable for other things related to the mixers doesn't remove the culpability of the original creators.

And again: if you implement a system that's doing something illegal, and by design you make it impossible to turn that system off, that's not a defense.
.NET MAUI supported platforms:

* Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher is required.

* iOS 11 or higher is required

* macOS 10.15 or higher, using Mac Catalyst

* Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809 or higher

While Linux isn't supported, that is also not a typically significant market for GUI apps.

MarkLLM: An Open-Source Toolkit for LLM Watermarking
I don’t remember what the fallacy is called, but there’s one, where folks take something that belongs to one instance, and apply it to another instance, where the veracity is tenuous.

An example is Marie Nyswander’s “broken brain” theory, that she invented, to push methadone. It’s never even come close to being proven, but sounds downright sensible; especially when someone wearing a lab coat spouts it. It’s the one, where they tell you that your brain is “broken,” because of drug use, and can no longer produce endorphins (or other brain chemicals -it can vary). There is a significant element of shame involved, telling the user that it’s “their fault” that their “brain is broken,” but they are in luck, because this pill will fix it.

It was pretty much B. S., anyway, even for opiate drug use, but I have also seen it applied to alcoholism, pot smoking, kleptomania, sexual compulsion, gambling, anorexia, cults, video games, violent behavior, and habitual criminal behavior.

It’s one of those theories that makes sense, if you don’t sweat the details, but has never actually been proven, by anyone reputable.

Lot of CBD snake oil uses similar stuff.

Like I said, the progression only actually seems to happen to a fairly small number of people. The crimes they commit, though, are pretty bad. A risk management approach needs to score both impact and probability. People tend to get caught up in only one axis; usually the one that supports their preconceptions.

I have an acquaintance that is a passionate pool safety advocate. That’s because she had a nephew die in a pool. If you talk to her, pool safety is the #1 national priority, and all other issues are secondary.
