For some parts of the landscape like mobile app development, yes. Its hard to say if they are doing it with hidden intention, or if they sincerely believe enforcing their "best practices" on everyone yields greater good. Probably a bit of both.

The part where you build a demo/prototype showcasing if an idea works, I believe it should be much easier than before as long as you postpone understanding/deciphering the implementation. In those major ecosystems there are huge collections of single-purpose libraries doing a subset of what you want to do, all you need might just be a reasonable amount of python to string them together.

However, ensuring the correctness and actually deploying them for planet-scale mandates following a reasonable subset of "best practices" which is very overwhelming, but doable. People doesn't usually build planet-scale product 10-20 years ago.
Honestly, very cool good for you.

Side note, I'd discourage leaning on your age/precociousness when doing stuff like this. It's a strategy with a limited shelf life, and sooner or later your work will have to stand on its own merit anyway.
Yeah usually they want you to build one house on one plot. Not build a compound. If you want to build 5 houses, you subdivide.
Maybe you could add a little detail about what you have planned. It seams a little optimistic that some apps will solve many healthcare problems.

I would like to see some more work along the lines of independent patient advocacy. It is tough, as a lay person, to know what treatments are available and effective (and other pros and cons). Also, navigating insurance, medicare, and other general healthcare related bureaucracy. Also, someone to answer simple health related questions would be nice.
> I've thought it should be simple to plug multiple computers together to multiple their power.

It is simple - it's so simple it became a meme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_cluster - almost every Slashdot comments-thread in the early-to-mid-2000s would reference it somehow.

But distributed-computing isn't popular because it just isn't particularly useful for the things people want to do with their computers: combining all of my own computers together isn't going to make watching YouTube any better, not even make my games run faster.
Seconded, I've tried posting videos here before. His explanation of the great pyramid being a public/private devotion place, not a secret grave, makes the most sense to me. It would be like Lenin's Mausoleum. Everyone knows where its at, who is there, and you can go see him and leave offerings.

Previous tombs were robbed and looted because the king was buried and forgotten and no one cared anymore. Probably helped their followers maintain power after their death too.

(purposefully not using any names, I am skeptical on the official story of who built what for who)
Yes, keep plugging on that one. Verification statements should be in the same language as the program, and be syntax and type checked on every compile.
Not in comments. That keeps them consistent with the code.
Sprint was cooked for one specific reason: parent company QWEST refused to do the prism-split of fiber cables into secret NSA colocation rooms like AT&T did.
As one commenter mentioned it comes down to having suitable information exchange between the parties. Some VC said no to most big successes in SV at some point.

I recommend watching a pitch competition with lesser known VCs and companies like Pitchforce. You realize how difficult it is to understand what people are building and why it could be big. Most VCs will not be users of the product or experts in the vertical and will use other signals, however imperfect or limited as is the case here.

I think they just want to have your captured on their platform . If you get all of your answers then why pick a competitor?
The problem is that there is finite spectrum available. The upfront cost of building a national cellular network are also astronomical, regardless of regulatory hurdles.

The FCC was created to manage the scarcity inherent to the radio spectrum. It's not an area where regular free market economics apply. GP's proposal would actually make it easier for startups to horn in on the territory of the big established players, since the underlying infrastructure would effectively be socialized.
Oh please, they’ve landed a few nice things but larger items like generators are likely not coming soon.

Just look at the async roadmap for example, how many years has it been and how much progress has been made?

As someone who is firmly in the Rust community it’s annoying how everyone seems to know this but you can’t fucking talk about it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen passive aggressive comments like “this would be much easier if we had variadics… maybe someday”
Very cool. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I dont think this is accurate.

>Minimally, should have the following features: variables, looping (think: for/while loops), conditional branching (think: if/else statements) and some form of recursion (think: functions). Why? These are what make a programming language Turing-complete.
I am so tired of noise and air pollution having 0 enforcement in cities, but if a car is parked for 15m too long in a metered spot they are ready like hawks to swoop down and dispense a $60 ticket.

I was eating lunch at a restaurant few weeks ago and a parking enforcer was ticketing a car right next to us. A few feet past the car three dudes on motorcycles were revving their engines and blasting music at the stop light. No one could talk and the air smelled for a couple minutes after they left. It just seemed so wrong who was getting punished and what cities prioritize in that instance.

I'm not sure why people think it's impossible just because they were large and heavy, we see all sorts of other prehistoric things requiring similar effort and modern scientists have replicated the steps necessary. You can move a lot of weight if you have thousands of people involved doing the work.
Corvée labor systems are unbelievable to you? Especially in an environment where (because of the annual Nile floods) the homelands of people are uninhabitable for a few months each year?

> Virtually no other ancient culture and its world-level marvels can make that claim

That is a bold claim. My recollection of lots of historical instances of slavery is that slaves tended to be used in jobs that no one wanted to do, such as mining. Monumental buildings tend to involve a lot of skilled artisanal crafts--stonemasons are not something you'd be likely to trust to slave labor. There are also monuments that are constructed by cultures not known to have practiced slavery, such as Stonehenge or Norte Chico.
> The flavor of AACS used by UHD Blu-ray further attacks users' freedom (and possibly privacy) by forcing them to connect to a company server to download the decryption keys.

I myself only have BD players for regular discs (which I never connected online), but a few times I was really thinking about getting a UHD player for a couple of my favorite movies... but if they must be online, I will just try to survive on the 4k rips that fall off of the 4k-video-transporting-truck...

> and OpenAI for search primarily

How is this in practice? Normal GPT is entirely untrustworthy for a lot of it's information. How can you trust it's "search" results/summaries?

I've said it before, but it's like watching the news about a topic you know a lot about and realizing how wrong they are... yet you continue to believe the same people regarding subjects you know nothing about. GPT feeds you BS, and you have to be knowledgeable about the subject to detect it... yet we blindly trust it's output on subjects we know little about. That's... dangerous.
Meh. Go with Consumer Cellular or other discount MVNO. Plenty of competition at that strata.
Huh, does it work inline in Vim with Coc?
It looks really fun and remarkably polished! It's hard to stress just how exciting it is to see a commercial video game being developed as FOSS like this. If enough of the back-end code to run a private server could be made available as open source (for FOSS-y LAN/WAN parties) that would be wonderful.
You do realize that if someone can avoid the tax by renting it out then they'll just rent it out to a friend for a nominal amount to avoid the tax?
> This an undersupply problem.

Every time I go looking for statistics to back this argument, I come away underwhelmed. In most cases I see little change in the ratio of dwellings to households over the past few decades.

Take a look at the first figure (HM1.1.1) in the following document - particularly those for the US, Canada, Australia, and NZ (all countries with prominent housing issues).

https://www.oecd.org/els/family/HM1-1-Housing-stock-and-cons...

On the other hand, I think there is a strong argument to be made for increasing underutilisation of housing (more second homes, short term rentals, etc).
For whether age should be mentioned: Does there need to be a guideline? There are plenty of things that have no specific guideline, things which are fine to do or not do.

For whether there should be comments about age being mentioned: existing guidelines already denounce low value commenting especially at the root level.

It's pinned on the hospital because there was a CPS consultant on the hospital's payroll that was seemingly allowed access to the children/records as a CPS consultant by using their hospital employee role.

Basically, hospital employees have reasonable access to patients/records as part of their care but CPS needs to go through a process for the same access. This particular employee wore both hats to obtain alleged illegal access to the children/records.

Well if you want to call me stupid that is fine, we can have that conversation, but I'm not so it won't be very interested. Bringing me back to my original question, a question that was actually interesting.
What are you trying to build?

You can look for a technical cofounder through y Combinator’s cofounder matching platform.

Learning how to code might not be the best use of your time if you want to build useful products.
Hey HN,

I’m Fran, and I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on. It’s an AI tool that generates personalized travel plans tailored to your preferences in just seconds.

I built this app because I love traveling, but I always spend so much time researching and finding nice hotels.

I was surprised how well this tool works, finding the best hotels, restaurants, and day-to-day planning in just a few seconds.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Thanks,
Fran
I don't rely on GPT output as canonical, I only use it to help surface big rocks I can refine with other engines and find primary sources. It's fancy autocomplete after all, but PageRank was just weighting links in a link web as well.
The term for this kind of thing is DMA cheat. It's been around for a while now.
> On top of that comes often quite substantial requirements to buy into the fund for at least senior staff

This is a clearly beneficial requirement, but your point is fair about it leading to 'on-paper' comp looking high. But I'd even go so far as to say that the majority of comp for senior people should be contingent (not sure if that's typical).
Maybe it could work if you're a registered XSX manufacturer, you get a cut of game sales. Since it'd probably be a digital only system, it's possible to administer in a way that the 3DO couldn't. AFAIK, Valve didn't do this for Steam Machines.
Current day operating systems assume a cache-coherent system. Without that assumption, you're basically just looking at a bunch of networked computers. This is done because you get much, much more performance out of systems like that (see e.g. https://blog.acolyer.org/2015/06/05/scalability-but-at-what-... )

Ahh yeah - so I've found prototypal inheritance (or what Hofstadter calls The Prototype Principle) is a useful way to think about what's going on with in-context learning and few shot prompting and ways to take it further.

If you provide a "prototype" to a model, you can operate on that prototype and create new instances or variations of it. This is useful for working with code by defining an abstraction or a class, and then having the LLM work with and modify it, generating new code that fits or inherits conceptually from that original prototype.
Maybe, but I doubt that as technology seems needs a lot of specialists. You don't have time to focus on one small area in depth if you also need to farm/hunt/gather. We need generations for someone to come up with the idea of writing, make it better, educate kids in it... And of course before the printing press books took a lot of time and so even if you created something passing it to someone else is hard.

Primitive people were not stupid, they just needed a lot of time to figure out things that we now think are obvious.

AllTrails is a great site for someone starting out! Its map is handy for finding trails and trailheads near you, and you can filter for the type of hikes you're looking for. I tend to prefer higher destinations in alpine-y areas above treeline, and this is my usual method for finding hikes:

- Load up CalTopo (a phenomenal mapping website)

- Head to a wilderness area I know I want to visit

- Find trails that look like fun destinations, see if I can connect those trails to other trails (I prefer hiking in loops, rather than out-and-backs)

- Head to hiking forums to scour trip reports for information about the trails/route I'm looking at to make sure my idea works

I live in the PNW, so I'm frequently on the NWHikers and OregonHikers forums, both equally amazing resources for on and off-trail research. Definitely see if you can find a forum-based community for your region, they've been a consistently positive experience for me compared to, say, a FB hiking group for the region.
I'm not advocating for any given alternative model really. I primarily want to call out that we're not really sure what we mean when we say "black hole" and there is good reason to be at least a little skeptical-- especially of models invoking a singularity. The vast majority of people take it as a given that black holes as depicted by popular sci-fi films/TV exist in nature and we're far from being sure of that.

Yes, but not dramatically simpler.

None of these conversions were absolute. Moreover, you missed a rather important one: the Hellenic/Greek era of the Ptolemaic dynasty, from which we get the still-spoken Coptic language, which was formed from a mix of Ancient Greek and the indigenous Demotic Egyptian language.

Language is not race, but it is strongly intertwined with ethnicity and culture in most parts of the world.

I'm pretty sure you lose a lot of tax advantages on rental properties (mortgage interest deduction, depreciation etc.) if you don't rent them at market rate.

If they rent it for a nominal amount, they're effectively losing money on the property and gambling on appreciation. If someone wants to do that, good luck to them.

> There is more money in AGI than LLMs.

I'd argue there's no money in AGI. Such a technology actually being available would be such a seismic shift in society that it breaks every commonly accepted economic norm we have today.

Real AGI means ALL knowledge workers are effectively out of a job. And AGI + advanced robotics means everyone is out of a job. Once no one has jobs, money loses all purpose.

Whatever company invented AGI, if it ever happens, may rule the world but it won't be with money.
Yeah, like the other commenter mentioned, I could have run another experiment applying chain of thought specifically to the image interpretation. Just to force gpt to confirm its information extraction from the image. However, even after trying that approach, it got only 2/3 tries correct. Still superior is text only modality + chain of thought.
> what is with the obsession that ancient egyptians were incapable of building these monuments?

It's part of the broader new age movement. It coincided with the rise of commodification of the identity, individualism of the 80s and 90s, and the self-care movement. People express beliefs in a higher power as a way of dealing with many things, and many new age people look either to the stars or into "other dimensions" (whatever that means) for these higher powers.

I'd also like to point out that although you could view this as being cynical about the capacity of humanity, you could also view this as hope that someone will save us from ourselves. You can also see this in political belief with eg posadism (where dolphins/aliens elevate us after we destroy ourselves with nuclear warfare and recuperate by turning to communism, which to be fair is also basically the plot of star trek) or the belief that a free market expresses superhuman collective rationalism that will save us from individual failings.
Well, thanks for clarifying at least.

If things do come to that -- it definitely won't be an inevitability, but a conscious choice on the part of those responsible.

I agree. I think the Affordable Care Act mostly just redefined "health care" as "health insurance". Now if you have health insurance you, by definition, have health care. It has helped millions get health insurance (and done some good) but done little to improve the actual care.

Regarding consent, I wonder about the ethics in general of "studying" ancient Egypt. It's almost like an arbitrary line in the sand that once it's old enough, it's okay to unearth the dead and study their lives. But clearly we would unanimously reject the idea of people digging up our grandparents to study them. Probably the same for 19th century decedents. Probably the same for the bodies of those in the Renaissance period. But somewhere between that and ancient Egypt (and surrounding areas) we deem it okay to pilfer their memorials.

You can get away with a lot of things even inside of a tyranny, if you are good at selling to your superiors. So in your example, a dev who wants to improve user experience might have to couch it in terms of how users are likely to come back more often an click on more ads, and if they do this well, they will often be allowed to do the improvements they want.
