When it is so well known, at some point it isn’t a “trick” anymore, right?

It isn’t as if retailers can fight reality.

Or that they can “come clean” by putting fine print under prices explaining why they are ending prices in 9. Which would create a major distraction messing with any sale.

It is just real-world reliable wackiness that both sellers and purchasers should be aware of.

There is no purely objective way to relate to selling and purchasing prices. Short of very simple scenarios where a spreadsheet actually captured all the real criteria.

Many products make people happier if the price is higher. Is that happiness bump a fraud, or the point?

On firefox the take screenshots button may not work as intended. You should have confirmation tab and then your screenshot should appear in the original tab.

If its not working you can still make a screenshots as usual and use the app to generate a image with your screenshot on a beautiful background.

A guardrail on mass deployment that is not linked to specific model size or aspects of model performance that are difficult to quantify.
Archived version: https://archive.is/wbwC2
The compiler cannot change the length field's size if a reference to the array (or a struct where it's contained) is ever passed to an unknown function, as that function has to be able to read the length from memory based just on the spelled-out type.

Not a problem when passing the array by value (i.e. two registers of the data pointer and length), but then any packing automatically does not apply anyway.

Show HN: AI sticker generator for your loved memories
Hello HN,

In last 3 months I have been working on a web app where you can create AI stickers for yourself or your business.

I have a lovely cat and I wanted to create stickers of her but couldn't find a good solution to do it. I've been working on generative AI and I thought - why I don't create an app for it, a lot of people have pets or memories that they might want a sticker of it.

For this reason I have built StickerAIArt. At the moment, you can generate stickers with simple prompts, with reference image of your pet & something you like or with a style of a image. Then if you want you can upscale and remove background to have it ready for physical print with high quality. Also you can automatically receive stickers as WhatsApp message to show your friends.

I hope you will find it useful and it can help you to create stickers that you love.

Would love to hear your feedback & thoughts

All current "guardrails" are silly censorship / political correctness stuff, or for business appropriateness. They are also trivially circumvented. There is no "threat" from the un-shielded capability of current or foreseeable ML models.

Regulations will go something like this: 1) anything that can be harmful, say targeting of a population, isn't allowed to be owned or be accessed-available for the individual, 2) except for government and state-funded [bad] actors who have a "legal" monopoly of violence - those governments who use that usually captured/corrupted and of authoritarian-tyrannical nature.
I know your reply will be something along the lines of "shouldn't need to do this" but if you're constantly annoyed by the animations there's a terminal command to change the setting so they run very fast or not at all. I have a script to run after a fresh install of macos that speeds up the animations, fixes keyboard repeat, and a bunch of other tweaks to make it more to my liking.

To me, both spoken/written natural languages and programming languages feel a little bit like math. :-) (no joke!)

RAGoon: Improve Large Language Models retrieval using dynamic web-search
RAGoon is a Python library that aims to improve the performance of language models by providing contextually relevant information through retrieval-based querying, web scraping, and data augmentation techniques. It offers an integration of various APIs, enabling users to retrieve information from the web, enrich it with domain-specific knowledge, and feed it to language models for more informed responses.

RAGoon's core functionality revolves around the concept of few-shot learning, where language models are provided with a small set of high-quality examples to enhance their understanding and generate more accurate outputs. By curating and retrieving relevant data from the web, RAGoon equips language models with the necessary context and knowledge to tackle complex queries and generate insightful responses.

Link to the GitHub : https://github.com/louisbrulenaudet/ragoon

Here's an example of how to use RAGoon:

from groq import Groq
# from openai import OpenAI
from ragoon import RAGoon

# Initialize RAGoon instance
ragoon = RAGoon(
google_api_key="your_google_api_key",
google_cx="your_google_cx",
completion_client=Groq(api_key="your_groq_api_key")
)

# Search and get results
query = "I want to do a left join in python polars"
results = ragoon.search(
query=query,
completion_model="Llama3-70b-8192",
max_tokens=512,
temperature=1,
)

# Print results
print(results)

For the record, can you confirm that the telementry does not contain any sort of installation or system ID and the telemetry endpoint never at any point records the IP address?

A large part of this is HDR that “just works”, versus the broken mess in every other scenario.

A case in point: Lightroom on iOS can process an RAW photo with HDR grading and even export it in any of three HDR formats… none of which can be opened on iOS.

My Nikon camera can take HEIF photos like an iPhone (with HDR), and transfer it to my iPhone with an app, but the files are non-standard in a way that the iPhone can’t actually be used to share them with anyone, making this a frustrating non-feature.

It’s just incredible how broken HDR still is in 2024.

PS: Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, a professional HDR colorist application added native HDR output just last week! My previous iPhone had this for nearly a decade now.
+1. Especially since you drew the comparison yourself to the Pebble watch. Shelling out that much money on a product that might fail is a draw back. Tinkering on this infinitely knowing I could load whatever software is attractive.

No it isn't. Most programmers just don't have the experience, and don't much care to get it. I've long thought 10x programmers were a myth, until I saw how much faster some of our developers are compared to others. It's pretty close to 10x, some people will do something in a week, someone else in half a day.

The person who did it in a week wrote a thousand lines of terrible code, the second person replaced it with fifty lines.
Matcha has a good example of what this UX can look like. For example, I recently used it to swap sDAI on Ethereum for USDC on Arbitrum (a layer 2). It's wrapped in a single transaction that does the swap + the bridge with the best exchange rate (after taking fees into account).

Taking it a step further, in the future I imagine we will see wallets that abstract the concept of chains away, and automatically move the asset to the chain with the platform you are trying to interact with as part of the interaction transaction.

While I don't have any links handy, my understanding from doing some digging into this a few months ago is that currently off-shore wind is awesome and has about a 40% capacity factor. On-shore not so much.

As far as the battery capacity and pricing goes, that math was done using the Wikipedia pricing for Tesla Megapacks quite recently.

The vast majority of sources I've found for trying to actually compare prices typically involves levelized-cost-of-energy (LCOE), which as far as I can tell completely ignores the intermittency problem; that's where I did a dive into the battery storage prices and found them eye-wateringly bad.

I'm strongly not opposed to wind and solar; I'm just strongly suspicious of anyone who suggests that, in my climate and geography, we're capable of replacing all of our electricity generation and heating (currently natgas) with solar and wind without some form of baseload long-term backup. I prefer that baseload backup to be nuclear and not coal or natural gas, as is the current status quo here.

I did just do a relative cursory search to try to find some current numbers but the majority of articles had theses like "wind is struggling due to inflation and interest rates but is going to bounce back this year!" so that's... not super useful.
> We work so hard to regulate our fisheries yet do so little to properly protect the resources they extract from a holistic perspective.

Our fish industry is really well connected politically and the large players exactly know how to play the fiddle, and any attempt to hold the foreign ones accountable with actually working and appropriate measures (it's highly likely that it will take live ammunition or an intentional collision, at least in legally "open" seas) would likely result in WW3.

I’ve worked with (as in, directly on their team) some of Apple’s QA when I was an intern. They were quite bright and dedicated people. It’s just that their job truly sucks and the rest of the company doesn’t value them. When I was there their daily task was to run the same runbook of basic actions from 8 AM to the afternoon. It used to be to the end of the day, actually, until someone wrote up a Python script for them to save several hours on some of the checks. I had a chat with the actual engineers writing the code they were testing, vaguely pointing towards “hey I heard about CI and automated tests, wouldn’t this make things a lot better?” and he just point-blank rejected it. QA was there to test the code he wrote. There was zero self-reflection on how he could improve or that this process sucked. My impression is that a lot of Apple has a similar mindset which they are slowly working to change.
Pfff... The Lisp syntax is one of the simplest, comprehensible, readable, no-BS sugar things. People with shallow experience often say it looks weird, but with some hands-on experience, you soon appreciate its elegance and power. The consistent, minimalist syntax becomes second nature and reveals its true beauty and functionality.

You can easily read Lisp code off your phone screen - it wraps around, but retains the structure. Try that trick with pretty much any non-lispy language - even "the most elegant Python" fails there, face flat.

EDN & Transit is far better than JSON - EDN is more flexible and expressive than JSON, making it a superior choice for data serialization. It's also more than two times smaller and cleaner, commas are completely optional.

Hiccup is better than JSX & HTML - far more easier, cleaner, shorter and nicer to work with.

similarly,

s-expressions are better that XML & Yaml;

CL's PLISTs and ALISTs & Clojure maps are better than Dicts/Hashes in other languages.

Basically, you can leverage the expressiveness and simplicity of Lisp-like syntax to offer structured, readable, and powerful data representations. Add to that the ability to evaluate any given form on the fly through a connected REPL, basically "trying things while you read them," and that changes everything you thought you knew about the readability of code.

Those who call Lisp "non-readable" I suppose, in fact, never tried to actually read it. Of course, if you never learn a language, it would remain incomprehensible.

Author here. Yes, the search bar is nice already, and the performance is good enough for most use cases. Fun fact, javadoc's search is O(n), Docland uses binary search so it's O(log2n). That's why the search bar in the official java.base documentation is noticeably laggy.

The real benefit of customizing search is custom ranking and filtering logic. Docland sorts the search results by relevance (matching prefix length and casing) and dedupes overloads. In my (possibly biased) opinion it's easier to use.

No, I get that. I was referring to the syntax. Syntax matters.

Zig is hands-down a better language than C, and (I'll take your word that) it fills the same niche as C, but it is still a different language with its own idioms and lore and conventions. It is not C-with-tweaks. It cannot be compiled by an extant C compiler. Code written under my proposal would be legal C code under the current standard (but not the other way around).

[EDIT] Actually, that turns out not to be true. You'd need to change the behavior of SIZEOF or provide some other way of getting the size of dynamically allocated arrays at run time, since this information would now be maintained by the compiler.
> Python doesn't do runtime type checking

I don't know what you're defining "runtime type checking" as, but it absolutely does. You can't stuff a bool into an int, you can't stuff any arbitrary byte into a str. For the most part, it's strongly typed, but str falls down by allowing non-Unicode values into its set of values.

> If this is a non-theoretical problem at your end, a stricter language might well be called for.

… Python is plenty well suited to the task, if not for bugs in the implementations of its types.

There is, it's called a judge. When they explain to him that AIs are by definition neutral and objective and are let off. I'm sure the regulations will just serve to formalize this process, by Congressionally defining AIs that satisfy some checklist of lobbied for conditions as objective and neutral. After a few years, the collective liability from taking back this declaration will keep Congress from ever reverting it.

They've been into defining things lately. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_pi_bill just came too early.
