That's a tough situation.

If you can make room in your life, get a dog. They are emotionally infectious animals, and generally seem to have an endorphin firehose soaking their brains most of the time. Taking care of a dog, walking it (exercise is really important) and generally interacting with it can help amelerioate your grief. Your son might respond well to it also.

Kind of sounds stupid (I'm not a dog person) but I've seen it work and result in rewarding relationships (and, more grief when the animal dies, but that's an inevitable consequence of love).
Fargate is too slow without the container cache you can get with ec2
Didn't seem like there was much hope of that with the response I got anyway. I'm not here to take condescending comments with no substance (i.e. pointing out why it supposedly was nonsense), so I decided it was better to remove the comment and move on.
As a Technical Writer I love Scrivener. I can keep lots of notes and research and first drafts organized and linked before putting anything into the official system.
I think at the moment it's the opposite: It seems based on how many celebrities talk. When we watch them on TV, youtube, tiktok whatever they're not real people but just playing a role. It's not how they really are in their real life. The overacted enthusiasm is like a marketing tool.

As people tend to look up at celebrities and admire them they start associating this with good things and I think this is why they adopted such styles for chatbots.
Excited to try it out for future projects!

Admittedly, my eyes are on pricing here. Couldn’t find anything yet.

Congrats on the launch.
Because the "elite" that actually make US economic policy made a mint on it and could engage in their all time favorite activity in the world:

undercutting and destroying the financial viability of unions and labor

The rich don't actually care about how much money they have, they care about how much money they have relative to other people. Hollowing out the middle class meant while milking profits from cheap overseas near-slave labor? My god, so many billionaire boners.

Why do you think nothing tangible has been done about illegal immigration in, what, 40, 50 years now? Something that massively increases the number of desperate workers to undermine labor supply and union-based manual labor and trades?

As it stands now, this problem will self-correct because manufacturing WILL onshore. It has to. China is dropping the hammer on economic reforms and ratcheting up totalitarian control, to say nothing of demographic bombs, the real estate / regional debt crisis, and the inevitable sanctions from a Taiwan invasion.

Don't worry about the shipbuilding. China doesn't have carriers. They don't have a navy that can leave shore more than a hundred miles or so.

The fact is the US Navy can blockade China's food imports and petroleum (as in, fertilizer so ... most domestic food) shipments in Malaysia at will and ... China starves a couple months later.

The policy that needs to be pursued isn't one of China as a dangerous peer state. That has already passed. The policy is to deal with China as a dangerous collapsing state. It's kind of the same effect (manufactured goods being shut off, reestablishing more domestic production and manufacturing), just with or without overt warfare.

IMO this is an opportunity for greenfield modern manufacturing construction: lots of automation, lots of modern EV-based low cost low carbon transportation and infrastructure, building up the domestic energy industry around alternative energy on a fundamentally cheap basis never seen before.

One way to do this is to intelligently allow the best and brightest in China to immigrate. They'll certainly want to get out...

As for the article, it was a lot easier to crank out airplanes when they were basically automobiles with different body shapes. These weren't turbojets, they were ICE engine-powered prop planes. Yes that handwaves a massive amount of engineering and retooling, but it wasn't like ICE engine designers suddenly needed to learn how chip manufacturing worked.

Show HN: I Built a Xianxia Story Generator – Create Your Own Martial Arts Epics
As a longtime fan of Xianxia novels, I often found myself wanting more personalized stories within this captivating genre. The idea hit me while I was deep into one of my favorite Xianxia books, realizing there wasn’t a tool that allowed enthusiasts to generate their own tales. This realization sparked a journey that I am excited to share with you all.

It all began when I noticed a lack of tools for creating personalized Xianxia stories. As both a reader and aspiring writer, I saw the potential for a generator that could craft unique narratives filled with martial arts, immortality quests, and supernatural elements.

I understood this demand as a desire for deeper engagement with the Xianxia universe. Readers wanted more than just passive consumption; they wanted to actively create and explore new storylines within their beloved genre. This insight pushed me to start developing a solution.

## The Development Journey

Over the past several months, I dedicated countless hours to developing the Xianxia Story Generator. The journey was anything but smooth – from fine-tuning AI algorithms to ensuring the user interface was intuitive. There were numerous technical challenges and iterations, but the vision kept me motivated.

I’m excited to introduce the Xianxia Story Generator, now live [here](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-DxFzlZKza-xianxia-story-generator). Key features include:

- *Customized Story Creation*: Allows users to generate unique Xianxia stories with tailored characters and plots.
- *Immersive World-Building*: Creates detailed and captivating Xianxia universes.
- *User-Friendly Interface*: Designed for both novices and experienced writers.
- *Creative Inspiration*: Provides endless inspiration for new storylines and character arcs.

I invite you to try out the Xianxia Story Generator and share your thoughts. Your feedback is crucial for refining and improving the product. I’m eager to hear your suggestions and see how this tool can evolve to meet the community’s needs.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your insights!
That what succeeds in the market has between everything and zero correlation to it’s actual value. Sure, the market gets it right sometimes. Other times it’s as hilariously wrong as LLMs. Everybody remember Juicero? NFTs? How about Theranos? FTX? WeWork?

Tech is addicted to hype bubbles. Like any addiction it drives poor decisions.
Samsung makes terrible products anyway. Their phones are bloated with spyware to the gills, their customer service/repairs are poorly done (if at all), and their appliances are some of the least durables I know of. Their TVs are advertisers wet dreams, they are extremely intrusive.

Especially after the company a close friend used to work at was swallowed by Samsung, I’ve vowed to never ever buy anything Samsung ever again (ok except semi conductors if they’re part of another product but even then their after sales sucks for these parts). They have a terrible internal culture as well, where quality and security fight each other constantly for least priority. No thanks.
won't there be more noise while predicting just 20s in advance? The longer the duration, the less effects we will see of temporary events like network blips etc. no? sorry I'm new to software engineering and just trying to learn.
I must be living in a different world or using a different version of the model, but I seem to be getting garbage from OpenAI products, specifically ChatGPT 4o. The most recent example; I tried to recreate a similar scenario that Sal Khan did where he used photos/screenshare with ChatGPT to help his son learn geometry. I did the same thing with Chess.

I started with having it walk me through a few chess puzzles. It straight up couldn’t figure out the solutions and frequently referenced coordinates that were well outside the bounds of a chess board (Knight to Q8, for example).

At this point, it feels like I’m being gaslit by the community of AI obsessives who see LLMs as the second coming of Jesus. I get nothing but garbage from them. Sure, maybe it can occasionally write me a line of syntactically correct code but that’s it. It feels like this is being shoved down my throat and I’m criticized for ever expressing skepticism. I really don’t like how this discourse is progressing.
Yes, I think it all hinges on whether LLMs ultimately converge towards intelligently cutting through the blogspam dead Internet or diverge towards a Web where all content is fake and going online is mostly an exercise in feeling uncertainty and confusion. Is the course of artificial intelligence flattening out on a sigmoid or have we merely met a hiccough on the way to exploding nil cost super-intelligence?
It’s fundamentally same technology with same limitations. You can throw a lot of money at it to try to fix short comings, but they’ll be just bandaids.

LLMs are extremely amazing autocomplete mechanisms. But that’s all they are at the core - there’s no intelligence involved.
My favorite everyday product still is the iPod Nano 7G.

Although released in 2012, My use case is mainly to listen to audio books (m4b) and music. Of course there are smartphones these days that also could play them well, but in my opinion nothing comes even close to the user experience of this device:

- Size: This device is SMALL

- Durability: Still works fine after 10 years

- Battery life: Lasted for days with 220mah, after some years of course it decreases a bit

- Connectivity: Works fine with bluetooth

- Usability: Decent UI with remote support (4 different ones)[1], Sleep timer, etc.

- Versatile: Podcasts, Audiobooks, Music, Sports and even Video (kind of limited though)

Of course there are some drawbacks (no linux support, no wifi, hard to repair, proprietary connector, no FLAC, "unhackable" except [2]), but I'll take it together with the benefits.

I desperately tried to replace it with other (Android) devices, such as:

- Unihertz Jelly 2

- Fiio M6

- HiBy M300

but they are all to bulky, slow, miss important features or just feel bad to me.

Is there a list (blog, Twitter feed) of such stories of AI embarrassments? Might make a good teaching resource for explaining to a less technical audience why many of us still have to work hard to make AI work reliably for serious applications.

I could ask a search engine or an AI for a list, but, well, it'll probably make it up.
A calendar with good art or photography can be worth it as a wall decoration alone. I find them especially nice for the kitchen because it isn't the end of the world if a $20 calendar gets wet or dirty.

It was definitely a team effort.
I don't see where that quote says "they contacted SJ before they hired the actor that did the voice" or anything similar. Perhaps you need to taste it a bit more before you try again.

"Whether or not Altman wanted SJ's voice" and "whether or not they got someone else to do SJ's voice before asking SJ to do it" are two completely independent matters.
>The problem you're describing is only a problem with Act on Press, which is why it's normally Act on Release, so I don't understand how it's irrelevant to his point.

No, it is also a problem with act on release. How do you distinguish a drag and a click?
I've bought nothing but mid-range Nokias and Motorolas for the past 10 years or so and they've been great. Always stock or near stock android and security updates for 3+ years.

I have a habit of doing stupid things with my phones (mostly accidentally submerging them in seawater) and haven't attempted fixing them after that though.
Programing Best Practices in 2024
All the air defense and much of the artillery aid has been state of the art. Ukraine benefits from the massive surveillance and targeting capabilities from air and space - also state of the art. The long range missiles given have been current generation.

Not to mention that cutting-edge drone based warfare has quickly become Ukraine's most effective staple.

Sure, some of the tanks and IFVs are older, but overall it's not really fair to say Ukraine is mostly using old weapons or that it's fighting Russia alone. The total financial value of external aid to Ukraine per year has been rivaling Russia's total annual defense budget.
I was looking for the battery life to.

after a bit of digging through their page - 8000mAh battery giving "days" of charge.

So a long way from eink insanity, but a usable device in return. Im sure it will do well.

>> If a conflict with China ever comes to pass,

If a conflict with China comes to pass, it won't be on US or China soil. It'll be a proxy conflict somewhere else.

All the major conflicts since ww2 have been in proxy locations. Korea (US/China), Vietnam (US/Soviet Union), and so on.

"Occupying" a country is fruitless (see pretty much everyone in Afghanistan) and unpopular.

So I don't see Chinese bombers over Seattle or US bombers over Shanghai. In that sort if conflict both sides lose.

Taiwan is the obvious proxy in play. The South China Sea is the other. Both would give China significant geographical advantage. Taiwan is just important enough (making PCs) that the US may intervene. But will the US land troops in Taiwan to fight street battles? Probably not (imo).

Will Chinese troops parachute into LA or US troops parachute into Tibet? Not a chance.

With all this in mind, statistics and behaviors from ww1 and ww2 are somewhat irrelevant.

If there is a US China conflict though, it's more likely to be economic. Supply chains disrupted. Chips in short supply. In that sense domestic production of non-military items becomes paramount (to keep the population appeased.)
don't forget wind. there's lots of wind power and very low power consumption at night. it's probably more like 22 hours to 16
Indeed it was! Three day day-and-night march/exercise with hot temperatures even during the night due to midnight sun. We ended up getting resupplied with salt that we added to our canteens to avoid any more incidents. We were more used to arctic conditions and not fully prepared for something like that.
Samsung is shit. Banned in my household also.

I bought a Samsung DVD player in 2003. The day after the warranty expired, it booted to a garbage-filled, nonresponsive screen. Brick. I was foolish not to have forever written off Samsung right there and then. Eventually I learned my lesson, though.

One of the first things you learn in survival training is the difference between hunger and thirst.

Most of the time when your stomach starts to "grumble" you might be surprised how often it's thirst and not hunger.

Personally I wake up and I feel "starving", but the reality is that I'm just really thirsty because I haven't had any water for 6-8 hours.

You can go weeks without food, but typically can only last a day or two at a absolute maximum without water.
Everyone as well? Lower costs, better looking carbon footprint, longer lifecycles, better secondhand market, more efficient software (if you don’t assume everyone uses a new phone, you design your apps/web apps with a little more care towards performance and battery efficiency), more competition between manufacturers (because it’s not a given that you’ll sell new devices every 2–3 years)…
Am I the only one who prefers macports over homework? And Safari over Chrome? And the default terminal.
I got to try one of these a while back and I personally have to say it's a bit generous to call them e-paper. These are more like reflective LCDs you'd see in a GameBoy. You'll notice all marketing photos of it are in either direct sunlight or have the backlight on. I compared it to my reMarkable in an indoor setting and I would honestly prefer the reMarkable's low FPS over the Daylight's low reflectivity for reading books or taking notes.

Of course this all changes if you plan to watch videos or whatever on it - but for me personally the value proposition of an e-paper tablet is not about being able to consume that kind of stuff.

That is an incorrect comparison.

The key and important factor of computer hardware has little to do with weight.

Whereas, weight is an important factor for aircrafts. A plane produced today will have similar capabilities as a plane produced 30 years ago of the same weight.

That is absolutely not the case for computer hardware.
So it's basically just a "but US hypocrisy" argument that has you cheering for Russia's blatant aggression, then.
Overpriced? Interesting. I don't remember ever asking for anything else since the first time I bought it years ago. I still use it every day (macOS and iOS). I use Obsidian to manage the notes, but if I want to just write or pick one file to work on, I use iA Writer. I don't even have Obsidian on the phone; I open the file(s) from the Dropbox folder with iA Writer.

The people doing these things think they're the 'good guys making hard decisions for the greater good.' It's not done with animosity or antagonism. They deserve the most severe of consequences for their actions, but without understanding the motivation, perspective, and rationale for these things - we're doomed to repeat them in the future, and indeed it's entirely possible we are at this very moment.

This article has been hugged to death, but I assume they're referring to Operation LAC. [1] "We" weren't spraying these neighborhoods because they had black people, but because they had 'the projects' - poor urban housing buildings. These densely populated areas with large sprawling concrete prison-like apartment buildings, were extremely similar in design to the areas in the USSR we might attack with chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. And so we wanted to see how such an attack would play out.

It's the same thing with Tuskegee. The people involved likely envisioned themselves saving millions of lives, and gaining invaluable information that could be used to treat not only syphilis but any other sort of other diseases which might manifest similarly. The exact same logic people use today to experiment with gain of function with ever more dangerous diseases, even as diseases escape from labs at a frighteningly high rates. [2] So why only black people with Tuskegee? Because syphilis rates in black Americans were pushing near an order of magnitude higher than in other groups.

This 'greater good' rhetoric is rhetorically appealing, because it sounds reasonable. But the outcomes are scarcely desirable, because the ends people seek with their means very rarely ever comes to pass. But the horrible things they do in the interim trying to get there, all most certainly do happen. If somebody starts talking about the greater good, it should be a major red flag. One needs not justify good and just actions, and those are the sort we ought pursue.

I don't disagree. I saw it pushed by vendors at conference I attended recently ( regulatory compliance in that case ). Anyway, the presentation was pretty good, but the vendor knew that their target audience is on the conservative side when it comes to technology. The interesting part came up when they started moving into some details ( hallucinations and how to limit them ). They were selling 'AI job expert' ( compliance person focused on X ) that could be 'daisy chained' to limit it. I have to admit, it did not occur to me as an option and I feel like I should try it myself to see if it works as advertised.
