Hi HN! I'm an Cole Murray at Platen.ai, and we're lowering the cost of content creation for startups and small businesses*

Platen.ai is an content marketing platform that uses generative AI to help startups create content in-house. We offer search-assisted blog article generation, linkedin post generation, and seo topical maps. It's built with two key technologies, you may find interesting:

1. Retrieval-Augmented Generation:
Our platform utilizes retrieval-augmented generation, allowing it to pull contextual information and stylistic elements from a vast database to ensure every piece of content is not only relevant but rich in context.

2. Feedback Ranking Model:
We have a feedback ranking model that learns and adapts based on user interactions and feedback, continually improving the content's relevance and quality over time.

Features that make Platen.ai unique:

- Seamless CMS Integrations: Our software integrates directly with platforms like WordPress, enabling users to publish directly from the AI editor to the live site with a simple click.

- Customizable Style Guides: Users can tailor style guides, which our AI adheres to, ensuring consistency in voice and style across all outputs.

- Real-Time Co-Writing Assistance: It offers real-time suggestions, rephrasing options, and grammatical corrections, proving invaluable for writers at all levels.

We designed Platen.ai to be more than just a writing tool—it's a system that adapts, learns, to help users meet their content creation goals.

Here's a quick demo for those interested: [Platen.ai Demo](https://platen.ai/)

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, feedback, or even cool projects you think could benefit from our technology. Let's discuss!

Fired up my Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) - cubase 13) - and the on-screen keyboard is

I'm not sure if it is [has become] an industry standard within other DAW's, but ctrl+k has brought that up for me for oooooh, years.

I use it when i get bored of regular synth-midi input and the occasional, inevitable 'mistake', often takes me in new directions.

It is kinda hard to grasp but an llm does not 'think'. It basically predicts the next letter in a sentence and it's quite efficient at it.

Let me rephrase. Any exponential with a defined beginning and end point - ie any that we are considering over a particular time series - will have a region at which it appears to rapidly increase, before which it appeared relatively flat. For technological progress of humanity up to present day, that region was around the IR.

OK thank you for elaborating. I tend to assume that such laws - "let's listen in on everything you do" - need firm and solid justification. Coming up with a simple counter-example on first try signals to me the problem has not been handled effectively (understatement of the year). I'm not talking about having the perfect solution, just.. something that does not immediately fall down on first try within a few minutes.

This world confused me sometimes.

Why bother when you can just have real estate instead?

I'm likely missing something here, but to me this minimises the problem to just a reduction in the number of properties you can move into (assuming some are lost and some of the others sold).

I'm always surprise by this kind of article or comments of people who don't know anything of how LLMs work or what they can do. The problem is that it requires, as it is the case for most tools, some learning curve. Prompting is not always straightforward, and after using these models for a while, you start discerning what should be prompted and what won't work.
The best example I have is a documentation that I wrote in Word that I wanted to translate in Mardown on a GitHub site (see https://github.com/naver/tamgu/tree/master/documentations). I split my document into 50 chapters of raw text (360 pages) and I asked chatGPT to add Mardown tags to each of the chapters. Not only did it work very well, but I also asked the same system to automatically translate in French, Spanish, Greek and Korean each of these chapters, keeping the Markdown intact. It took me a day to come up with 360 pages translated into these languages with GitHub ready documents. So the electric consumption was certainly high for this task, but you have to compare it to do the same task by hand over maybe a few weeks of continuous work.
Wow, I felt that.

Thank you for that! Not that I was questioning my skill beforehand, now I have to reconsider all my life choices. :)
> Most people don't do anything worth privacy protecting.

Absolutely, its very rare for people to have things Like passwords, bank accounts, confidential documents, secrets, fears, weaknesses.

And as we know, everyone applies good infosec practices, none of us have a txt file sitting in a folder with all our passwords.

So on average, there isnt a growing collection of confidential data that our models are getting trained on.

Matter of fact, if everyone who reads this were to randomly start loudly talking about “EAR-WAX REMOVAL” or “LOW LIBIDO”, in close proximity to a friend’s phone or Smart TV, theres no impact. They dont end up seeing some interesting and potentially embarrassing ads.

It’s not like we live in a world where bad actors exist, maybe in some distant country, who try and take resources away.

EDIT: I came back to edit this because I felt I was perhaps too snarky and as a result having fun at expense to your argument.

For what you said - it should be understood that it is easy to end up in a situation where privacy or PII is converted into a “problem” which has to be minimized.

This is a position that then leads to many other far too complex failure states.

Our future selves are better served by thinking of data we generate, as default private, and that all private data is “heavy”
If you make it financially risky to own a rental property you're also making it more risky and thus less profitable to buy and rent out apartments. This hurts both renters and the potential landlords. It would be much better to just increase property taxes.. Speaking as a Dane, this kind kind of economically illiterate leftist lawlessness is an important reason why Spain is poorer both poorer and has a worse welfare state than Denmark.
You are in IT earning only 20K EUR per year? That is unbelievable! Why is the housing crisis happening? What changed? Did you have a population boom?

> Not to mention all the "expats" and "digital nomads" that are willing to pay whatever the landlord says because they really really want to live here without thinking about the consequences, but that's another story.

Hmmm. Do you have any stats on this matter? It seems easy to lash out against this group because they are outsiders. The "expats" will pay tax, and plenty of it, because they are higher income. "Digital nomads" are another issue -- I am not a big fan because they usually pay no income, nor residence, tax.
I just rember back when my internet was 512 kbps down and iTunes would have a minor bugfix update over >100 MB which would take over an hour.

This is completely true, so if you work as a real estate investor, you need to check your knowledge and start studying or stop lying.

If you try to squat (okupar) the house where someone lives, you'll be evicted just when the police arrives to your house. And you'll get a criminal sanction (allanamiento de morada). The problem comes when your third house is occupied by someone, since this is not where you live, then you'll have a real problem since they can say they are living there right now, and that's when the time dilatation comes.

This "problem" is just for people with a lot of houses, rentist, that are part of the problem. Or the banks and vulture funds, who had most of the houses and flats in spain.

And the squatting problem in spain is ridiculous small. THe percentage over the poblation is ridiculous. This that, in this article, don't mention at all.
> We thought the internet would widen our scope. It narrowed it.

> What the Internet promised - the great "conversation of mankind" - never emerged. Instead we got cat memes and social control media that forced people into ever smaller parochial silos.

The internet economy enabled browsing on a global scale and, because no kind of agency could keep up with its development speed, pushed everything into an "on demand" culture - what evolved with it is the higher responsibility for consumers. I feel the state of economy before the internet was on a scale of "everything is possible" (in the western hemisphere at least), only to discover years later that "our greed has consequences we just couldn't see before". Our cognitive load feels higher than ever to just cover the basics of survival and not get screwed over, or screw someone else over, constantly.

> This is why they should teach history, geography and other cultures in schools.

I think system thinking should become a thing in schools early on too. Every defined system is a mere conceptual view with artificial boundaries - a system without boundaries isn't a system, but a universe. It's good to enable new resources to think about new systems, or rethink existing systems, but we also should discuss the boundaries required for its concept to make any sense. I feel that this understanding gets sometimes lost, and its naivety gets regretfully relabeled as "innovation".

Ah. I can understand the argument the streamers should be handled like all broadcasters currently are.

Certainly if we assume the system under question was deigned with heightened security in mind, we will determine ourselves to be in a more secure system.

But go on, use a 52 bit password – see what I care. But don't come crying to me when an institution with the smallest amount of funding was able to crack your vault.
A type system that doesn't do anything? It has that, it's called comments.
Before you try to tell me that it's somehow different, consider that the main thing a type system has to be for consistency is accurate. If they types aren't checked by a compiler or interpreter, then someone can change the way the variable is assigned or what the function will work with, and the annotation will just be wrong.
The battlefield will always be where the people are until all industrial capacity is fully automated (if ever). Why would a robot army that finds itself at a disadvantage ever attack a superior army out in a field somewhere far from strategic targets? They will focus their attacks on logistics, manufacturing, C&C, and any civilian population that can actually influence enemy politics.

It’d be nice if all wars were basically a simulated conflict with robots fighting each other far from any humans but the defector that turns their robots on human populations will always have an advantage in actually winning wars.

Ask HN: What programming project pushed you further?
I’ve been having a blast of a month with programming, trying to build a visual SQL query builder in React.

It’s worked my programming muscles quite some, more than typical business asks.

This is due to the fact that the main data structure holding the resulting SQL Query is a recursive data structure - so most of my functions for manipulating that structure are recursive. Recursion is fun is fun is fun is fun!

Furthermore, query fields can have an infinite amount of chained functions that act on the field, and order of operation matters - so for the first time in my career I’ve had to implement a singly linked list to house these functions.

And then to manage the state, there is a top level query state managed by a reducer and dispatch, and as you drill down into the query (individual rules, fields) they have their own reducers that have an enhanced dispatch method that kicks actions up the chain to the top level query state.

Seriously I wish my job was always this fun. I highly recommend to intermediate devs to try build a query builder.
Like in the OpenGL days, Vulkan keeps playing catch up with the games consoles, and DirectX APIs, and it is already a extension mess just like OpenGL, an achievment in a quarter of OpenGL's lifetime.
uhm, yes seriously if you are not from the US that is actually kinda sorta what it looks like. You functionally have nothing in the US in relevant politics that is looking left of center to most people from say western europe and the "rival" 24 hour news networks reflect that.

I am well aware that that is not what I looks like to people from the US.

Autonomous robotic surgery, even for relatively simple and usually routine procedures, is way off. Robots are currently in use in numerous surgeries as highly precise and repeatable assistants / instruments, but the state of the art on robot safety doesn’t come close to the point of even allowing minimal autonomy, and these devices are all carefully and precisely controlled by direct human operators. Human bodies are just not that consistent or predictable an operating (excuse pun) environment to allow much else without significant development from today’s state of the art.

On the level of spinal surgery, I’d doubt it, unless we’re talking nanoscale machines capable of manipulating tissues as small as single synaptic junctions at the terminal ends of axons and dendrites. Maybe if we developed some chemical or other material that allowed direct neuron regrowth and reattachment and all you needed was precise alignment of the spinal cord itself then there’d be some positioning limit that robots could reach that humans couldn’t, but it’s all very much in the realm of science fiction at the moment.
Super interesting! I've been wanting to use Google calendar to also track daily habits and they time they take but it's super clunky for that with too much manual effort.

We invented technology and methods to make things that are meant to be difficult, easy (like food, transportation, mating, surviving). So now we have to invent more technology and methods to find an equilibrium for the system that we broke and barely understand, so we continue to break it and abstract away the instability, understanding it less and less. I mean, what is the purpose of the stock market? housing/mortgage market? An upvote? The cookie banner and ad tracking industry?

To be very honest I'm tempted to downvote this , not because I would disagree if this was the topic at hand, but because it seems like a deranged rant that's very loosely related to the comment it's replying.
When designing anything like a language or library you always create the use cases first and then work backwards. Any game engine not created side by side with a game will be crap. Any 'cool feature' programming language without a decently sized codebase so serve as a beacon to guide you will expose all the flaws in the language that the creators never anticipated because they never created anything sufficiently complex.

Unless you are dogfooding whatever you create, it will be crap and you are better off not creating in the first place, don't waste everyone's time with stuff you yourself couldn't be bothered to actually use.
I second both statements. I used Pixelmator Pro on a Mac for maybe a decade (before it became Pro), and it’s very good. I would highly recommend it to anyone on a Mac. Long ago they had 50% discount, I don’t know whether they still do discounts these days. It’s a one-time payment, so even without a discount they worth what they ask. If you work with the app all day long, every day, it’s such a pleasure after the ugly Photoshop. Pixelmator allowed me to forget Photoshop for good. And even allowed me to move to Linux, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40572874

Pixelmator Pro doesn’t work on Linux (it’s macOS exclusive, afaik), but it allowed me to stop being dependent on Photoshop and look for other alternatives. Krita is quite good on Linux. I cannot compare them as I’m not an artist myself, but for my use case Krita is good enough. Since it’s FOSS you can start with that easily.
See also the CH32V003 [0] (more expensive variants also available), a neat, cheap and standalone RISC-V with plenty of modern & flexible peripherals, good package options, single wire debug and an open toolchain [1] for ~20c per.

Mitxela has a great article on them [2] and I totally agree they have a lot of the same joy & simplicity of the ATTiny - but with the added bonus of lots of interesting DMA controller misuse!

The peripherals have a very STM feel (in a good way) which perhaps isn't surprising given WCH's history.

> You can provide better protection for both sides by requiring written and recorded contracts for real property use/rental, just as we do for real property sales today.

In england there is the "Assured shorthold tenancy agreement" which basically provides a set of rights to tenants and landlords. On the one hand its great as it sets out a clear set of expectations for tenants (24 hours notice of landlord visiting, cant be evicted without notice, deposits must be in third party)

However there is still no fault evictions, which means you can be kicked out for no reason with only 1 months notice.

For the landlord it allows them to reclaim the property at the end of the contract.

However its still the most vulnerable that get evicted.
Can the owner hire thugs to show up with baseball bats? I would do that, or do it myself with a ski mask.
It's astonishing how few technical details are provided in this article (like the nature of the vulnerability, whether it affects RISC-V's design in general or only a specific implementation, and whether it is readily fixable).

I tried to find more details and found that slashdot user st0nerhat had found a more technical summary in Chinese, which you can see translated here:

I have some background is combinatorial optimization. I did consider writing some software in this area or something similar, like school time table planning. But I think the problem is that each business will have different constraints (have to have at least 1 first aider on a shift, Alice doesn't get on with Bob, you can't work 2 saturday in a row, shifts change every 2 weeks, you have to have at least 12 hours between shifts etc). Anything flexible enough to be used by a sizeable percentage of organizations will be too complex for them to use.
Only if we don't care about those using devices where OpenGL ES is still more stable, with less buggy drivers.

If you only care about latest Android versions, and Samsung and Google phones, sure go Vulkan.
This is not true. Your first and second house are protected by the law. If someone enters in your first or second house when you are outside, they will get expelled in the same moment the police arrives, and they will face criminal consecuences.

The problem comes when you have 200 houses and somebody squats one of those where you don't live and you don't use. A problem for the banks, vulture funds and big renters. And to be honest, I cannot care less..
Those are examples of layoffs in general, but the objectionable thing about OPs scenario is a layoff followed by an increase in the CEO or executive pay of around the same amount of value as was cut. I would expect CEO pay increases to cost less much less than a large layoff like these.
It's the same in France so I wouldn't even be surprised.

You can't even cut electricity/heat as it is seen inhumane and in theory you have to renovate/fix the house every time something dangerous needs to be fixed because it's illegal to provide unsafe housing.
