FYI, this is the case with Denmark as well (as long as you permit Dane to be an ethnic group)
Radon mainly effects the lungs and requires continued exposure. I still personally would not expect a radon rich spring to be healthy, even with short term exposure. The effects of radon exposure over time on the lungs are well studied. Anecdotally, the primitive way to determine radon presence in a home without the use of sensors is to look at the number of scratches on a window. Radon causes them.
Apart from your new product, the old metriport app I found very intresting. If you ever considered to make it opensourced, I would be glad to contribute.

Show HN: I built a tool to find the best and cheapest LLM models for my projects
Hey HN,

I've been working on something cool that I wanted to share with you all. It's called Viewpoint, an analytics tool for LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic models, and Gemini.

The idea came from the constant flood of new LLM models and the need to figure out which ones work best for my projects without breaking the bank. With viewpoint, I can track token usage, costs, latency(WIP), and traffic over time, making it easier to compare different models and see which ones perform best and save money.

The tool works asynchronously, so it doesn't add any latency to your LLM requests, and you have full control over the data you share. Plus, I'm working on adding an alert feature to notify me when I hit a certain cost limit.

I’d love to know what you think! Could this be useful for your projects?

Check it out: https://viewpointhq.com

Thanks!
No one said it was identical (and OA is rebutting a strawman when they expostulate on how they trained on a real human voice actress, which is not what Johansson's statement accused them of to begin with).

The point is here is someone who 'actually listened to it' at the debut long ago, and immediately asked the OA people about it. I don't know what more you want for similarity. They launched several voices, without any of the mentions of Johansson or _Her_ that have been brought up here or the controversy, and back then and there, on the spot, people felt the need to ask about how one sounded 'somewhat similar' to Scarlett Johansson specifically.

i think your feedback is fair. if you're open to a few considerations:

- with monochrome pixels (ie no RGB subpixels), resolution is not really apples to apples.. things look a lot crisper subjectively than their objective resolution spec

i think a bunch of early customers have tweeted out their reactions to resolution/crispness. id encourage you to ask them for their feedback if you were still curious

not claiming its perfect, just that its not as bad as you think it is.

(PS we chose this resolution specifically cuz it results in a larger aperture ratio which enables a brighter screen.. we had other experiments at 220-240ppi, but we couldn't really tell a difference in resolution, and the brightness difference was palpable)

PPS on price - not much we can do here, extremely difficult to get even the price we did on low batch totally new custom displays.. we're proud of what we're able to do, but we understand there's a tesla roadster effect of sorts.. starts our expensive, and successive generations will ride the cost curve down tremendously

but cant get there without early supporters. so you choose anon! more economical samsung, or more pricey (but worth it?) indies like us!
Nuclear has a large heat source (or can make a large heat source instead of converting to electric first) to do a lot of things like this.

Oh man, it's so mean of China to get millions of Americans hooked on legal opioids and then just yank away the legal routes when it was finally impossible to ignore how hard Oxycontin had been pushed on average people and how destructive that was.

Oh wait, that's not what you are talking about.

The opioid epidemic would still be an epidemic without China. They are certainly doing their best to help it hurt, but we put ourselves into this mess.
Sure thing - thanks for the good thoughts!

We're still working on Mito - it's not a retired product by any means. Pyoneer is just another stab at the same problem for a different user group.

MMR-wise, we scaled to profitability. PMF-wise, we have not reached this. We have large customers who make up the bulk of our revenue who love the product, and use it quite effectively as the basis for their entire Python program, but, transparently, scaling is hard!

> Is it the trap of dogfooding (building the thing you wish you had) without sizing the market?

Very possibly. But I think this is a much bigger pain point at large orgs with legacy processes than you realize, though. Every large bank has an entire development teams that are tasked with transitioning legacy processes out of spreadsheets. We're aiming to improve the efficiency of these developers dramatically.

For some of the spreadsheets I've personally automated, I think this would take 300 hours of work and make it like 5...

Do you have citations for how Chinese solar panel production causes undo environmental damage?

My impression is that China subsidized their solar panel industry and gave that industry grants. Basically they did "Solyndra" a couple dozen times over and then found some winners. The US instead took the Solyndra example and divested. I don't think lax environmental laws was the difference, but instead government investment.

Seems like an overstatement to say “an entire cemetery”. Per the Wikipedia page, the cemetery is 120 acres with 200,000 grave sites, but only 78 of the graves are RAF students (which still is a terrible amount of people to lose in training, of all things).
No, they sub it for lime flux, which had the side effect of reactivating the cement (makes “clinker”), which can then be used again in new concrete.

> They will only get sued if her customers represent her voice as ScarJo's.

Horray! You agree with me that everyone in the situation is completely in the clear because she isn't saying that her voice is that, and she isn't going around repeating movie lines, or dressing up as her.

Also, here is an opinion from some who actually seems to know what they are talking about, and has legal experience:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40451286

"After all, you have to balance Scarlett's rights against the rights of someone who happens to have a voice that sounds like Scarlett's"

They straight up said this. So yes, according to someone who actually has legal experience, it is about her rights. Even if someone isn't directly being sued, according to them, who used to be a lawyer, this matters. And you, the not lawyer are not in agreement with an actual expert on the matter.

But whatever. I am more than happy to come back to you and your comments later, when either a lawsuit doesn't happen, or openAI wins. (They haven't even been sued yet!). That way I can have proof that you were wrong on this. I will let you know.
In MOBAs like Heroes of the Storm you can configure your hotkeys in 3 modes: on-press, on-release, and normal.

I use on-release with abilities that require careful targeting, which causes the press action to activate targeting with the ability firing on release. You can dismiss the ability by right-clicking too. This is usually more reliable than normal targeting since the game requires very quick interactions.
This reminds me of this article on a couple of people trying to make every "possible song" public domain.

We architected JACoB to make it relatively easy to add new frameworks. There are templates that dynamically build prompts based on the languages and tools defined in a jacob.config file that lives in your repo. Then you can just add new files with custom instructions for the new language. Here's the prompts folder with examples for the technologies we support today: https://github.com/jacob-ai-bot/jacob/tree/main/src/server/p...

I'm personally not a Rails dev so I haven't tried it, but my intuition is that Rails would actually be a good candidate to work well with JACoB due to the relatively standard conventions that most projects use.

That's my point though: these leaders aren't aliens beamed down to Earth from space. They are the kind of leader a society elects as a sort of Hail Mary last ditch self preservation effort (yes, elects, in that they actually have support and are not usurpers).

As for the second part, let me retell an anecdote. I was once at a party (in the US) with someone who participated in "helping" one of the post-Soviet republics with reforming their industry after perestroika. After too many drinks he began to brag about how "these corrupt businessmen thought they were hot sh... for grabbing all that stuff, little did they know they were just handing it to us". There were a ton of vultures feasting on the USSR's corpse. Now, the fact that it came to that in the first place is absolutely the Soviet leadership's fault.

And it is also ultimately the current Russian leadership's fault that Victoria Nuland even got around to handing out those cookies 10 years ago.

I'm a current owner of a Ratta Supernote A5X. I use the Supernote all the time. I previously had a Remarkable 2, but thankfully Remarkable added a subscription which made me look elsewhere and led me to the Supernote.

This seems right up my alley. Although, $800 seems steep.

The new Supernote A5X2 is due this year... at probably half the price? Granted it doesn't have the 60fps display, but it definitely has a bunch of other features. Is the 60fps worth $400 more?

This is the correct way to do science

A superb example of poor science in practice!!!!!!!!!

This study did not receive any funding. I wonder why?

Conclusions and Relevance:

MMWR publications pertaining to masks drew positive conclusions about mask effectiveness over 75% of the time despite only 30% testing masks and <15% having statistically significant results.

No studies were randomized, yet over half drew causal conclusions.

The level of evidence generated was low and the conclusions drawn were most often unsupported by the data. Our findings raise concern about the reliability of the journal for informing health policy.

So many people still wearing masks in their cars while driving alone.
Good news: you might not need to add a radon tank to the hot tub you already own. The control group for [2] was people who did not do any hot spring bathing at all during an average week, so their methodology does not explore the significance of the radon itself.

governments should have been falling over themselves to buy or otherwise subsidise expensive solar PV, because the more we bought, the faster the price would fall

That's quite a stretch, especially considering that there are plenty of examples where government subsidies and intervention distorts markets and makes them less efficient and more dysfunctional. I don't disagree with the general premise of the article: more could have been done to transition to renewable energy sooner. But it's really simplistic to say there was a clear, easy answer to this, and it simply involved more government spending on solar energy.

Yep - this is a one-way process! You can think of it like an eject from Excel, in the best case.

The devs we've worked with so far have the goal of replacing the Excel process - inheriting it from the team that runs it manually, and automating it fully in Python. From them on, changes to the process would run through a more traditional software-development lifecycle, as you would be editing code.

For these devs - this is a feature not a bug! In Excel, version control, testing, and review is pretty much non-existent...

The US must come to terms with ceding its monopoly on superpower status because other countries have caught up, but it also has correctable problems on multiple fronts due to:

- Lack of infrastructure investment

- Civic infighting

- Political divisions, distractions, and corruption

- Social regression

- Gender disparity in undergraduate education

- Declining standards of living
This type of tuning seems like a big step in the safety / censorship of how these models may work in the near future.
I had an e-scooter where a double click on the mode-select button would turn on the light and respond with a little beep. A single click would just switch the mode with no beep. To this day believe that the beep always came before the second click. I tried to trick it by clicking it once and only thinking about the second click — and the beep never came. But once I committed to the second click, I swear it would beep a fraction of a second earlier than that happened. Whatever it was that the button was connected to, it was insanely fast, just immediate. My brain had been so hardwired to expect every human-machine interface to have a delay, that the button responding immediately to the second click felt unnatural, broken, magical, and honestly kind of creepy.

What if I want this display tech but just as a monitor to use with my existing setup for doing engineering work? (E.g. emacs, tiling window manager, etc.)

The device as it's presented looks like a consumption device ("tablet" etc), but tech like this seems like it'd be most useful for a production device (general purpose computing device, programming/development tools).

I'd like the display, but uncoupled from the lifestyle assumptions that come with a consumer lifestyle tablet accessory...

Maybe we are splitting hairs over 'fitness'.

"We breed animals for attributes that we find appealing, and we could try do the same for humans. We could breed for height (easy), for intelligence (tricky), for disease resistance (hard). We could do so by various positive incentives or from horrifying negative reinforcement. But doing so does not increase the "quality of the stock"."

I was just implying, we can use these practices to change human attributes also, just like animals.

You are correct in overall fitness, example lot of dog breads or chickens that can't survive on their own. But have 'desired' attributes.

Whether they are improving 'fitness', that's for debate.

They would be improving their 'fitness' to survive under whatever pressure they were being put under to achieve some 'attribute', but that doesn't mean they would be more fit out in nature. But 'fitness' out in nature also changes with whatever environment the subject is placed in, example : desert versus jungle.
