But you could trust certain websites being more accurate than others based on their brand, the author, the other content the site had published, who they are linking to and people linking to them etc.

LLMs remove that ability to be discerning about what to trust.
We're building this because the ability to make narrow, specific predictions can be narrowly and specifically useful. This works if you have a good understanding of both the tools and the domain you're looking to make predictions in.

Unfortunately, from an outsider perspective, this looks like being widely and generically useful. If you don't understand your tools, you're going to misuse them, and this hype cycle is the result.
Hi Bawolff! Yes that's a great combo. I guess File Tunnel provides a couple of things that makes the tunnel maintenance a bit easier.

1. It gracefully supports each side of the tunnel turning on and off.

2. It accepts any number of clients, and forwards them through the tunnel.

3. It recycles the shared file.
"copy" would also become ambiguous with coffee :)

For a while, about fifteen years ago they had a string of popular songs that were so formulaic in their songwriting that you can play them over top of each other (trimming off intro/outro) and it's the same song, here's the maskup "How you Remind Me, of Someday" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeqTvxXWwuY

So it's not that they're a bad band, or bad at writing songs, we just got tired of that one formula and they kept doing it as long as it made them money.
I used to do web dev during the tables-as-layout days. I don’t miss them a little bit. For one, Netscape wouldn’t render anything if the table tag wasn’t closed, and still nothing regardless until it did hit the end tag. And that’s to say nothing of the dodgy layout quirks they had. No thanks.
ice project, but in my experience HN is one of the sites that survives with less internet conection. A few years ago, I went on holidays and the internet was horrible, and only HN was usable.

Indeed! Now they can use chromium and get a big running start /s

I’m not sure what in the FOSS ecosystem will actually help them if they’re trying to take a fresh set of eyes on implementing a web browser.

This is really cool.

As a software guy, how can I learn more about making PCBs (other than the linked blog)?
Is there really that much overlap or are the budgets just so insanely high you end up with accidental overlap? Seat belts are a perfect example where the military and non military application was quite different on day one. But, military had the budget so John Stapp made the argument around how many pilots died driving in their civilian lives. Definitely a huge public benefit, but from what amounted to military funding of civilian research.

Packet switching saw first implementation outside the US including some key ideas like a router. We ended up with the ARPANET > Internet story everyone is familiar with more as an accident of history and a dash of propaganda rather than something that required US military participation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPL_network

Teflon is another one people bring up as coming from the military but was invented accidentally outside the military long before its use in the Manhattan Project.
Show HN: I built a recursive to-do list & calendar
I used Google Calendar for 6 years, but was frustrated by its design. A task must be >15 minutes, the todo-list is linear-only, the calendar always starts from Monday "jumps" to the next week etc.

So I built intentions.life, my dad & I used it for 6 months now :^)

Apart from lots of common-sense improvements, it has 4 unconventional features: branching to-dos, reusable tasks, uncertain goals, and timely photos.

All demos are on the home page, no need to log-in

It's still a limited version, but the quality is stable. Appreciate BRUTALLY HONEST feedback if you're willing to give it :^), the app has changed and will keep changing a lot.
You don't have to like it, and it doesn't have to rationalize with whatever your conception of how innovation works is. I don't like San Francisco either. My point is that you have to at least engage with the SFBA argument that YC is making.

I work for a large-ish all-remote YC company in which none of the founders live in the Bay Area (or in the same city, for that matter). People have some odd ideas of how YC actually works.

No. Just no. Literacy is incredibly difficult in a language that requires knowing 10,000 characters to learn it.
Clearly extending the point first made by lykahb above.

Perhaps you'd be better served by asking them what point they sought to make.
“Correctness” is a property of a proposition determined by an observer. Sometimes what is output by an LLM is correct, sometimes not. That an LLM is aware of the output or not means literally nothing.
Drafts Are Changing
It depends on who you mean.

Most normal people look at AI like ChatGPT as an amazing tool and have used it effectively as a replacement for Google, Grammarly etc. And for them it's fine because any mistakes are localised to them.

The problem are those building products on LLMs e.g. Legal, Customer Service who are knowingly misrepresenting the capabilities of what it can do to companies who don't know any better. And I would argue this is fraudulent and where we will see most of the problems.
The Mac-specific parts of Photon Transfer (the companion app) are really just the GUI stuff (AppKit) and the GPU shaders (Metal) for the image pipeline. In fact the "MDCUtil" tool should still work on Linux (I haven't tested it in a bit though), and that allows reading imagery from the camera along with lots of other fun debug stuff.

A big part of porting Photon Transfer to Linux would be converting the image pipeline from Metal to... Vulcan (?). The main chunks of that are FFCC illuminant estimation (for white balancing) and LMMSE debayering:

https://github.com/toasterllc/FFCC-Metal
https://github.com/toasterllc/LMMSE-Metal

The GUI stuff (list views, image grids, image zooming, oh my) would be a good chunk of work too.
I'd definitely like to have good performance even for large build graphs! I'm hoping the laziness exists "where it counts". To walk through an example, if you build your backend, and your backend calls the function `postgres()`, and that calls `openssl()`, and THAT calls `gcc()`, etc., etc., each function is basically building an object to represent its chunk of the build graph (each function returns a "recipe"). Nothing gets built until that object gets returned from the top-level function and the runtime does something with it

In other words, the eager part is basically constructing the build graph. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't that this would necessarily be slower than the lazy version. In practice the most complex build graph I've made is basically the full chain of Linux From Scratch builds (that's the basis for my toolchain currently), and I think that takes about 400-500ms to evaluate. It's about 160 build steps, so it's not _simple_ but I know build graphs can also get a lot more complex, so I'll just have to keep an eye on performance as I start to get into more and more complex builds

Maybe I'm missing something but intuitively I'd expect this approach to be fairly efficient-- as long as build scripts only call these functions when they're used as part of the build graph
Medicare covers the most expensive part of the population.

The US spends 2-3x what the rest of the OECD spends per-capita, with about the same outcomes. Our system is the least cost efficient system in the entire developed world. It’s hard to see how Medicare-for-all could manage to do worse.
> Sure but contracts which are take-it-or-leave-it and aren't negotiations with concessions on both sides can't really be said to be willing parties.

Why not? If I list my house for 80% or 90% of the realistic market value with a set of conditions that are “absolutely no negotiations; take it or leave it”, I’m a willing seller and the purchaser is a willing buyer, right?
It's not about thick skin here. With only a few thousand random people talking bad about you, there is a significant chance that you and your potential relationships will never see a single message from them. Getting into the millions is talking about thick skin, but thousands is just free money.

The original post didn't specify direct messages or other mechanisms that you would be notified about the messages. Just that people are talking about you on the internet.
> Surely there's some way of transcribing sounds in languages like Chinese for foreign languages.

Same as in all other languages, with an extra step: first, sounds from the source language that are missing from the target language are mapped onto their closest phonetic counterparts in the target language according to the phonetic rules of the target language.

The extra step: a Chinese character is assigned to each syllable to convey the «it sounds like this character» principle, multiple characters are pieced together and then there is a new borrowed word is born into existence. The assigned Chinese characters bear no relevance to their semantic or well established meaning.

For example, 保羅 is the Chinese for the English name of «Paul» which is pronounced as:

Mandarin: Bǎoluó

Cantonese: bou2 lo4

Hakka: Pó-lò

Hokkien: Pó-lô

Teochew: bao2 lo5

Neither 保 (to defend; to protect; to keep; to guarantee; to ensure etc) nor 羅 (to collect; to gather; to catch etc) have anything to do with the actual pronunciation of the word, nor with the meaning of each character, nor the original Latin meaning of Paulus («small», «humble», «least» or «little»).
Imagine a world where employees can’t take a better offer, but a business could have their employees invent the next Google search, and then immediately fire all the workers that made that happen and hire cheaper ones to operate it.

That world sucks.

> Makes me wonder what other poor decisions went into the design of this thing.

(Edit: I don't mean that sarcastically, I'm genuinely interested how others would make this thing.)
Consider that for the small convenience of using the same currency and health service of other countries those very fee times that you travel, your country has given up sovereignty. It seems like the capricious desires of cheap-flight digital nomads have been traded for something as fundamental as sovereignty.
> in the US you have access to unlimited treatment

This is a ludicrous claim.

I’m in favor of both.
All of which native speakers have no trouble distinguishing between in conversation when there are no Kanji anywhere. It's the same with homophones in any language, usually the context makes it clear because the alternatives don't fit.

The homophones in Japanese and Korean pretty much all come from the vocabulary they share with Chinese which makes up the bulk of the vocabulary for both those languages.

One doesn't use Kanji anymore, and no one seems to struggle to read it?

Japanese on the other hand I have seen even natives struggle to read. Heck even the existence of furigana in novels is an admission of this.
They're written the same, and have basically the same grammar. The characters have hugely different readings, but people can communicate easily in writing. You can call that different languages, but that's certainly a different kind of different than people would expect when you say different.

If there were a version of English where all of the letters designated completely different sounds, but was written exactly the same way, would it be a different language? Would people who said that they were dialects of the same language have to be saying this for political reasons?

edit: I mean, Chinese is how you would expect it to be. How would two people living extremely far apart in China even know how each other would pronounce a particular character? How would they have communicated those sounds 500 years ago? The wide variance in the pronunciation of words even in English is also due to our dogshit orthography (largely imposed by the French), which often fails to give a decent hint for how to say something. Chinese characters are symbols of concepts that usually have a hint of what it's meant to sound like in the northern dialect, 1500 years ago, by referring to another character that there's no reason one would know what it sounded like.
Unfortunately, I think this was totally inevitable, particularly now that there are powerful open models that can be fine-tuned Llama3. At this point, you can't stop it any more than you can stop piracy of books and movies. And I'm not even so sure that "access to their copyrighted works" was the primary reason for anyone being disrupted from AI.
Also from the article:

> Also, ML code tends to vastly more complex and less standardized than traditional statistical modeling.

I mean, hey, it's proof that the text isn't AI generated, since ChatGPT is better at English than that, but it makes it hard to read and I'm not going to buy their book if it's going to be full of errors like that.
Yeah, I actually physically rolled my eyes when I read the "exclusively for Mac" copy on the website. I get it if you want to build a cool photo transfer/view app as an add on to the experience, and want to do it native, and only have time to build for one platform. But calling that out in that way makes it sound like some sort of "feature", which is a huge turn-off, regardless of whether or not they're building exclusively for my platform of choice.

But the camera itself should support MTP, USB mass storage, or something of that nature, and should just work on any platform. If it doesn't, that's a pretty silly oversight.
Right - I think it's fair to expect somebody to come up with some kind of approach to solving this, even if they've never encountered the problem or drilled Leetcode before. At least to be able to conceptualize the problem and make a decent attempt.

I wouldn't expect more than brute force. But being able to reason about this, having some working familiarity with graphs etc, is not an unfair bar.
Is anyone else depressed by that statistic? Is tech now eclipsed for the foreseeable future by AI?
> It's "face east, then travel in a straight line," not "travel due East" (though I agree that the title itself is misleading).

It's a fun and interesting problem, but just to be the contrarian:

The solution didn't travel in a straight line any more than the alternate (incorrect solution), both resulted in arcs.

> If I think of the last thirty years of policy in most of Europe and the US I'm thinking of a strong trend of deregulation and giving more powers to markets

That's been the PR spin, but it's not actually true. It's a smoke screen to help governments avoid actual accountability.

For example, the crash of 2008 was blamed on too much market and not enough regulation, but in fact it was the opposite: regulatory thumbs on the scale, for example the US government wanting to encourage home ownership and skewing the mortage market and the money supply and requiring lenders to accept more default risk, and governments implicitly giving a "too big to fail" guarantee to large financial institutions and then being extremely arbitrary in when that implicit guarantee was broken. A true free market would never have produced such a thing.

> removing international trade barriers and so on.

Globalization of trade has been going on for much longer than the last 30 years. If anything, the last 30 years have seen more of things like trade wars (for example between the US and China) and other disruptions to smooth international trade.
Servo was picked up from hibernation by Igalia about a year ago. They have made very good progress so far, also with a small team.

The choice of c++ for Ladybird looks a bit odd, even from code reuse point of view since Firefox, Chrome and obviously Servo can share Rust code (WebKit will likely not?).
I wonder very much about that statement. So far it is not merging into one theory. Hence one may try to help the OP every physical system if zoom in will be better modelled asking the quantum …

But quantum field actually is a universe model like GR and hence you have this issue of sort of action in a distance by superimposition.

Hence zoom in is not helping.

Not that that doesn't make it worse, but also gathering the pricing data of an entire customer base of landlords and selling them analysis back is, on the face of it, just collusion as a service
Like clockwork, out come the "but humans" deflections. An LLM is not a human-like intelligence. This is patently obvious, such comparisons are nonsensical and just further the problem of people anthropomorphizing a tool and treating it like an oracle.
Show HN: I created a Chrome extension that block media giants in Google search
There has been many recent discoveries (including the leak) about how 16 media companies dominated Google Search results, abusing their status to rank very high on a bunch of garbage they put out.

And like that saying goes, I can't change the world, but I can change myself. I don't want to look at their bullshit anymore when I search for food recipes or product reviews. So this extension is my way of protesting.

I agree with the population part. But more nuance is that a huge part is the last few weeks of life because of cultural aspects regarding protecting life by all means necessary.

However, they’re a saying in healthcare that you can optimize for quality, access, or cost but you only get two.

The US system is largely focused on optimizing for quality and access (although I admit the latter isn’t necessarily done well and generally relies on reactive care). So to open up access further, you’d probably need to address the other two levers, and I’m not seeing anyone discuss that. There’s also the disproportionate amount of R&D done by the US which effectively subsidizes the rest of the world to help keep their costs down. All that to say, none of the simple solutions bandied about really talk about those effects, let alone how to manage them.
Revealed: Russian legal foundation linked to Kremlin activities in Europe
LSD was expected to be the holy grail of mental health treatment in the 40s and 50s before it was made illegal by the U.S. and the rest old the world following in the united states foot steps.

I’m very grateful that we are starting to see research really pick up steam and public companies like MindMed pushing for FDA approval with MM120.

It’s bittersweet though because it also is proof of how much progress we lost over those decades.

Not to discredit PTSD and Mental Health research, but just to expand on how much we don’t know about our mind and what these chemicals really are…

DMTx had its first round of clinical trials, where participants have extended experiences in DMT hyperspace and all share common hallucinations (i.e talking to other lifeforms).

What’s interesting is that these experiments are showing us how our brain models the world. Unlike freebase N,N-DMT which is a short lived rocky experince. These patient reported and the data showed that after the first few minutes on DMTx things started to normalize (the brain started modeling their world better)

One of Strassmans patients years ago said on DMT that these entities could share more with us if we learn to make extended contact.

Albert Hoffman the inventor of LSD also said he had contact with external entities on a trip (eyeball with wings) and said that it told him that they chose him to discover LSD for the sake of humanity.

The DMTx participants all reported that these entities knew about their life and their traumas and helped them process these all in different ways. They all reported that these were beings of a higher intelligence and felt that they were external.

Psychedelics are 100% challenging the gold standard. Whatever the that is lol.
Without Kanji, it severely degrades readability. One has to reconstruct the word from syllables, which introduces another layer of cognitive load.

In Korean, it works similarly as well though, most people nowadays are quite used to not incorporating Hanja in sentences over multiple decades, to the point where it would be impractical to mingle Hanja in Korean.
This looks really cool. I've made my living a photographer for over 30 years and I'm very tempted to purchase. This small form factor would be perfect for a project I'm doing documenting California condors rearing their young. Sadly, I would also need it to shoot video to be effective for my needs (and I'm sure this would kill the battery). Its one of these situations where I setup the camera system in November, and then can't touch it again till after the young have left the nesting site in Fall. Its been tough to come up with a solution that provides good image quality along with the unique demands of the project.

I wish you great success.

For those wondering why I can't use a GoPro for this project - I have several reasons. Power consumption is one. This is in a breeding facility, and although I can turn off the beep in GoPro menu settings, I've had the beep spontaneously reset after a power outage (which are frequent). Also - Gopros don't turn back on after losing power and must be manually powered back on - something I can't do when chicks and parents are present.
