Effective AI writing is not a single prompt. You're projecting a judgement based on a simplistic idea about AI writing, which throws away the incredible creative potential of the medium if used by an honest writer.

If my final piece is 800 words, that means I spent at least 10,000 words conversing with the AI. Setting out the basic ideas; asking the AI to criticize missing ideas; organizing the outline; AI drafting section by section with human feedback and questions; manually drafting sections and getting AI questions and feedback; throwing away the first draft and rewriting the second draft from a new outline; throwing away whole sections of that and rewriting. Only then do I do final proof reading.

If you're suspicious about the prompt I can send you the 10,000 word thread where I forged the work. You'll see that the 800 words is preferable. But you'll also see why I'm proud of that thread. And maybe you will want to learn how to do it yourself, and give credit to those who can do it.

The final result is always much more than the initial prompt because I poured my blood and sweat and tears into the criticism and rewriting. It's a process of focused knowledge synthesis and compression, rather than a mindless expansion of a simple seed prompt.

If you want to see the blood sweat and tears, let's have a conversation requiring real essays. Then let's exchange our AI composition threads and compare AI assisted writing styles!
Speaking of Blyton; an excerpt from Five Go Mad in Dorset

https://youtu.be/NhGlet1j8EA?t=73

highlights her use of golliwog .. although to be fair that's a Famous Five parody and her main use of the golliwog stereotype was in her Noddy book series (I got that part wrong in my comment above).

It all sheds some light on the whys and wherefors of the Mau Mau rebellion.
The vast majority of submitted stories on Israel (as a subset of politics in general) are off-topic for HN. They almost never gratify one's intellectual curiosity (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and almost always lead to massive flamewars and political tangents in the comments. I flag all politics stories - this one is no exception. I want to avoid HN turning into another Twitter or Reddit, thank you very much.
The one that interests me is inspired by the Blackhat movie.

The premise here is that the donor has an app on their phone. They load their data into the app.

Then they go to a mall, down town shopping district, someplace busy and they walk around.

When they got home they see a green dot showing the data has been transferred.

Somewhere hidden where they were walking is a BT receiver. The app and phone sniffed it out and sent the data as they walked by.

Once the data is loaded onto the drop, it’s exported out via a mesh of LORA radios.

I don’t know how to get BT radios to pair automatically without ever seeing each other, even between cooperating parties. Or maybe it could work with WiFi Direct. Not really familiar with that.
Weird indeed. It's sort of fun to see updates as you still get some random personal lashing out at one member in particular for a feud no one remembers but them, but either way it's like... why this mess we still can't have dhcpv6 on android for enterprise?
If you are a geneticist, you would know genetic correlates. The only causality of AD that I assert is with lifestyle factors and genetic factors, e.g. APOE4, that govern neuroinflammation, as is strongly established.
Yes so it would be more correct to say “net productivity gain”. At which point it’s not as obvious is it?
So when I see "...... in rust" I cringe. Who the hell cares what a mandelbrot generator was written in?

I'm a user/subscriber to Skylum for the past few years and it integrates well with macOS Photos. Both Affinity Photos and Pixelmator Pro also integrates with Photos.

I'm not a professional. DxO PhotoLab does looks good especially with their focus on RAW. I plan to start shooting mostly in RAW.

Do DxO plays well with macOS Photos and how does it compare to Skylum's (Neo)?

Some automakers do a better job than other for sure, but I heard that Tesla's basic autopilot is pretty good already.
Nutty, considering they have not one but two competitors (Intel and AMD) with strong competing products. The assumption that they’ll continue cranking out such margins in decades to come is comically wrong.
Yeah. I'm thinking the shared password falls into the category of being able to share a copy of a magazine in your office, either directly, handing someone an article to read, or indirectly, by putting the magazine in a communal table or rack so anyone in the office can read an article they're interested in.

Just because the article is digital shouldn't mean it's now suddenly for your eyes only, and everyone needs to buy their own.

The question the article didn't cover is how far that password sharing can go. Obviously publicly sharing the link and password to anyone on the web goes well beyond traditional sharing. Even making it available to everyone you know goes well beyond normal. The trick will be determining exactly how far the sharing is allowed to spread.
I've used Unix since 1978 and in my career have developed on and for Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac, though Unix/Linux is what I prefer because I think it's a better environment for programming. I recently bought a mid-range laptop which came with Windows 11 and I immediately installed Linux Mint as a dual-boot. I don't usually boot into Mint as I use Windows to play Steam games and I have another laptop where I work. I _do_ run Windows in airplane mode to inhibit all the automatic install/upgrade action that, in the past, destroyed my dual-boot setup. If that ever happens I just trash Windows and install Mint as a standalone.
Golf clap for that one
Almost no rain? Not sure what you're smoking, SF gets rain on 70+ days of the year, and it's concentrated in the winter so you have about three months where it's constantly raining. Sure, east coast cities get more rain in total but it's not binary. I also find SF has pretty poorly maintained roads with lots of potholes but YMMV.
Yeah that’s like saying a free market works great with perfect transparency. That’s true and also does not reflect reality of a non academic model
Really? I think we're already in the "two more weeks" zone with generative AI. Still waiting to see what concrete value it adds beyond blogspam. Where is the money going to come from?
It might be overvalued, but I am very glad I bought a few shares of Nvidia in March of last year. I'm wishing I bought more in hindsight, but a win is a win, and hey if they do that 10-to-1 split I'll have a lot of shares and I'll get to feel important.

Only because there isn’t clear regulation on what they can and cannot do so they tend to overreach

I mean, is banning property rental so absurd? Drastic sure, but what about apartments couldn't be filled either by co-ops or condos with some choice carveouts for short term rentals and the like.

"A month's rent less HOA fees may not translate to not less than 1/360th of an ownership share of the rented space" would be the 1 liner policy statement.
They never say what better would look like for any of the other languages. I imagine there are physical constraints to deal with, at least if discrete and binary buttons are involved. The article doesn't even say how others have adapted QWERTY for their uses. Perhaps accordion motions?

Unicast IPv6 addresses are required to have a 64 bit interface identifier and a 64 bit network identifier (e.g. /64), handing out subnets lower than /64 is not spec compliant.

Network operators can do crazy things, but if you color outside the lines things may break.
In my experience there are too many people that don't want to understand that.
In markets it helps greatly to have prices published publicly. Perhaps private rental transactions in apartment buildings should be required to be posted publicly?
How does one end up in this space of work?
Any reason why Nvidia doesn't expand into building their own data centers and cloud platform? Seems like the logical next step once you own the chips everyone wants, giving them more moat. Of course, that's not their core business and maybe not their expertise, but I'd expect they can acquire it.
Privacy is a major factor in apples ad campaigns. They do a pretty good job and offer pretty good strict options… compared to Microsoft or Google. (Hey, the bar is low!)

A lot of people care, enough that Apple thinks running major ad campaigns on the issue will move the needle

If you monitor the public for rent posts you could mine that data over time. Most units turn over every couple years it wouldn’t take long to get a complete picture. You just wouldn’t know the incremental adjustment though you might be able to buy that from a broker
Just tested the PDF export. The format isn't really optimal and wastes a lot of space IMO. It's serviceable I guess. I'd still send it to anyone that asks for a PDF if they need something that isn't a LinkedIn profile.

> Emacs is just too clunky in 2024

Believe me, you couldn't be more mistaken. Modern Emacs offers virtually unlimited ways to provide a smooth, graceful experience for so many tasks, sometimes in completely unexpected areas.

I just watched someone show me a way to integrate YouTube. It allows you to subscribe to channels and playlists, automatically fetch new videos, and watch them directly within Emacs. One feature that blew my mind is the ability to follow video transcriptions alongside the video, karaoke-style, providing an enhanced, distraction-free experience in a more interactive and engaging manner. You can not only search through the content of videos but also jump to any point. I have never seen a better way of consuming useful information from videos.
First of all, the Thread radio is off by default.

There's likely a feature in iPadOS 18 or macOS 15 that will take advantage of it. It's possible we could hear about it at next week's WWDC [1].

> Karla Helena-Bueno discovered a common hibernation factor when she accidentally left an Arctic bacterium on ice for too long.

I love how this story follows the magic pattern of so much of innovation and discovery - an accident. It's refreshingly human and not a mode of discovery that machine learning is going to completely take away from us.
Listening to bits of the keynotes and he likens the "NIMS" to be prepackaged software (ala Microsoft in the 90s) that can run on any PC. It sounds to me like he is striving to be a monopolist.
> You do not get rich from income.

You do not need to be rich.
I suppose we can probably end the bad faith argument here pretty readily.

Your claim is that there is at least one internet commentator who made a prediction in potentially bad faith, pearl clutching, where that prediction did not bear fruit. This is based on examples which you recollect.

Can you claim that this is a phenomenon that is a majority opinion, or even widespread? You would be doing so based on examples, which is cherry-picking. In addition, using human recollection only introduces confirmation-bias.

In contrast, an article that sites something like 20 different studies, which shows that indeed a number of negative outcomes did occur is a very different basis for making statements.

Rule of thumb, unless you have data - you don't know, and if you think you do, you're probably wrong. Therefore those that claim big things without giving data...
Might be right? He's obviously right.
They absolutely do run in the fog, I live in a particularly foggy part of the city and take them several times a week.

And SF absolutely does have lots of narrow streets. There are a lot of neighborhoods where the roads are only wide enough for one direction of traffic at a time due to parked cars. Either you or the oncoming car needs to pull to the side in front of a driveway to pass. Waymo handles these situations expertly.

Based on your other posts in here you seem to have some kind of axe to grind and are making stuff up. Go watch some Youtube videos.
Oops, you are right, it’s 720x400. I mixed it up with the MDA 9x14 80x25 text mode.
I'm asking because it might be evidence of pricing collusion.
This is awesome. I started working on something similar a few days ago, but I had already built the pipeline/workflow system. I like how you are using yaml for this...
I can’t find it now but there was some guy who asked for a discount every time he made a purchase for like a year. He said it worked way more often than you’d think and that you just have to get over the self-consciousness of asking.
This kind of fraud should carry a prison sentence.
> I don't understand - what do you suggest as an alternative to Gvisor?

Their performance documents you linked claim vs runc: 20-40x syscall overhead, half of redis' QPS, and a 20% increase in runtime in a sample tenserflow script. Also google "CloudRun slow" and "Digital Ocean Apps slow", both are Gvisor.

Literally anything else.
> It's long been noticed that every time AI researchers figure out how to do a thing, it goes from "this is impossible SciFi nonsense" to "that's not real AI".

I struggle to see how anything we have today is “AI”.

So you think we’ve done it?

We’ve solved the “AI” problem.

We can just stop working on it now?

> It's weird for me to actually encounter people doing this.

Rather than posturing, perhaps you could provide us with the definition of “AI” so we can all agree it’s here.

> art remains art even when the artist themselves becomes lost to time.

And if statements remain if statements. What’s your point?

> I wonder which other professions exhibit the same effect?

I disagree that there is any “effect” worth pondering, but here’s a biting quote that if written by a tech bro with unsubstantiated zeal for wasting planetary resources to engorge the wealth of unethical sociopaths it would have the word “goalposts” in it, and be the worse for it.

I'm in healthcare. I find the best problems that are worth solving are the ones that come directly from the patients themselves. Perhaps it's the same in other industries.
I'm not sure I would just take their word on it, though. They have a pretty strong incentive to claim that their service didn't cause any harm.
Maybe! I get quite a lot of Ubers here in Vancouver and they are almost exclusively Tesla. I don’t known if the “3d view” that is displayed on the screen in the dashboard is used by FSD or not; but if it is there is no way that could be safe for self driving cars. It’s so inaccurate!

I could be wrong about their progress though, always happy to be corrected.
Having lived in like 9 different places now, I completely keep flip flopping on them. It only takes one neighbor burning tires while doing burnouts, drag racing, and shooting rifles at all hours of the day to seek sane people to live around (true story). Or a lady who refuses to cut her yard, so you get mice and snakes everywhere in your yard. In the nonHOA places I lived, 3 were awful, and three were mostly fine.

On the other hand with HOA, having another entity to tell you what to do with your large purchase doesn't sit right with me. On paper they're not so bad. My experiences with them(three times) have been completely incident free, plus got access to a nice pool and garbage collection. But you'll read a lot of no doubt true horror stories that show how things can go awry.
Can we talk for a moment about the beef supply? Bird flu has now been found in both meat and dairy. The only guidance given so far by CDC is to cook meat to 160 deg. Well done. Let's put aside for a moment what that means about rare steaks...

What about the millions of workers who cook burgers and handle large amounts of raw meat on a daily basis, then rub their eyes or noses? These are probably thousands of daily opportunities for the virus to jump species and attack human lung cells.

Compared to the chances of infection followed by human-to-human mutation in a small rural community where someone is exposed to sick birds and becomes a dead-end case, we are entering territory where the odds of that deadly mutation are orders of magnitude higher, and compounding daily.

I said a month ago that June 15th will be day zero for this to enter public consciousness with a sustained human chain of transmission and high mortality. I'm still standing by that date give or take a week.
Every application I have tried has draggable widgets.
You're describing the fake breakup. Where you tell your girlfriend/boyfriend you want a break, then let them talk you back into the relationship. This is just a bad relationship move. Now they don't trust you and you have a needy or untrusting partner now.

I've had 50% pay raises that were nearly matched by the current employer. My last manager literally said the words, "What if we offered you a big bag of money to stay?". I left.

Now I work at a place where people stay literally until the die, 10, 15, 25 year tenures. My coworkers are mediocre. I'd say it's a mixture of laziness and sometimes maybe just incompetence.

It's a two fold problem. Employees that stay this long do not progress in their careers or learn new skills. I've learned next to nothing in my 5 years here. Employers that don't create churn in their workers create numerous problems. If we didn't hold a monopoly in our field, I'm sure we would have been bought out and had mass layoffs by now.
Was it as easily detectable in 2006?

Show HN: Built a free VS Code extension to help share code updates
Hi HN,

I built a free, and completely open source, visual studio code extension, which generates tweets based on commits you select.

While I was working on webtilities.com, an idea came to me: wouldn't it be cool that I could market this thing inside my editor. Ah, i'm truly lazy. Well, I spent a week building this thing that I bet no one will need because:

* "This wont work. My commit messages are terrible"
* "This is stupid, I can just use ChatGPT/Gemini/[Insert Chat Platform] directly"
* "This is stupid, I get BILLED for using openai tokens"
...

And the list goes on. But, I don't care. If you want to use it, use it. If you want more features, reach me on twitter: https://x.com/harveenatwal_
They are investing way more into their own work, is what I meant. Grinding Leetcode, searching for jobs, doing side projects, networking, etc. is a lot more exhausting than just putting in your 40 and punching out. All that on top of a normal 9 to 5 can easily put you at 55-60 hours per week.
Nope. The FBI was long integrated into twitter Trust and Safety. At that point, Twitter's speech decisions ceased being a private matter according to Supreme Court case Law.

Please. Give us all a break. There's nothing conspiratorial about noting that the Media favors the Democratic Party. You're gaslighting, and moreover your effort is pointless. Fully half of the electorate knows this to be true, and that isn't going to change in our lifetime. They know it to be true because it has had terrible consequences.

It was the Media that both lent the political cover required for the Russiagate fiasco to continue for four years, effectively hamstringing an entire administration in spite of it going nowhere.

In addition, the entire nation witnesses, over and over again, that the media incites riots or demands prosecution of riots at their singular Will. Against the Will of Police. Against the Will of local governments and citizens. The Media incited and covered for nine months of domestic terrorist riots prior to the 2020 election, leading to the murder of almost thirty people. Essentially directing and covering for brownshirt terrorists for nine months before an election. The entire nation was terrorized for that extended period. To cover it up, they then demanded the strictest prosecutions of mimic rioters that were misbehaving for three hours, or even just trespassing with what they thought was tacit permission. The difference between the 9 month and 3 hour rioters? Media narrative and demands.

You can test out your spine on this matter, however ridiculous, but don't think that you'll get away with such assertions in this conversation.
I think ML is likely to be material to us making many more such discoveries. So much of the current constraint is not in the knowledge to identify the interesting pattern, but the capacity to look for it at scale.
there are at least 20 companies, maybe 50, who have received founding rounds of $300M+ with the stated purpose of those funds to buy nvidia cards and run them in their own colo space. there’s even more established companies who can do this without funding rounds. as long as the cards are getting better every 2/3 years then if you want to be a player in this space you must buy a new $300M+ cluster every 3 years or get left behind.

there’s enough vc money to ensure some don’t get left behind. and there is one ai card company in the world

this only slows down when someone else can compete with nvidia and i don’t see any thing close
I do it very deliberately and I think it is good practice. It ads nuance and balance to Internet discussions which often tend to be very polarised with people shouting at each other. In my view Musk is a very flawed person but that doesn't justify spreading misinformation about SpaceX's very real and important accomplishments. Crazed evangelism over SpaceX also doesn't negate Musk's troubling history of public statements and actions.
This is a really important problem, and a lot of software attacks it. Pretty much every big HR/workforce management system includes options for it, e.g. https://www.workday.com/en-us/products/workforce-management/... and https://www.oracle.com/human-capital-management/workforce-ma..., plus a lot of dedicated providers.

As some other comment mentioned, these systems have been controversial, because some of them are used in ways that don't take into account normal human needs. E.g. some schedule back-to-back shifts, change with little notice, and can't take into account sorts of real life things (like child care) that a human manager might be able to.
> So to fix the problem isn't to regulate landlords (aka, attempting to legislate price controls), but to produce more supply.

It's both. Producing more supply works best when it isn't being sabotaged by landlords intentionally keeping units vacant.
