the fact that they work "sometimes" and "with the correct hardware/os" means you should avoid them, sorry

yet another reasonably good idea which was killed by the chicken-and-egg scenario between creators and supporters - even if Apple does a complete 180 and goes 100% pro-PWA, there will still be plenty of people out there with hardware which doesn't gel with PWA

forget it and move on - it was a good idea which needed 100% uptake to be a reliable avenue to follow, and it never got there, and won't because of greedy people who have their own agendas

PS: i'm old and grumpy and simply tired of fighting with people to focus on quality and reliability rather than profit - so now I just nod along

Actually, I’d like to be able to do simple things like legally use the toilet that matches the gender I’ve lived in (and had full surgery for) for 12+ years when I’m in Red States.

Is that really so much to ask for?

(Given the downvotes I’m getting I’m going to assume it is apparently too much to ask for. Either that or people do not believe me when I state that this is indeed an issue in several red States, such as Florida for example which prohibits trans people from using bathrooms in government buildings if their gender doesn’t match their birth certificate)

This is an overly generous interpretation vs plain ‘ol self dealing, using OpenAI’s current financial potential to fund his highly speculative venture.
Here's an even simpler explanation: The planet is dying and the leading candidate on the right is publicly whoring it out to the highest bidder. The people on the left aren't much better because most of US politics is under the thumb of the worst market forces.

> it'll be people from the Southwest and California mass-migrating after they run out of water.

I've always assumed that the cost to build desalination plants along the coast would be peanuts compared to the costs of letting our water supplies dry up and force a mass migration of tens of millions of people. It won't exactly be cheap, but a lot cheaper than the alternative.
When AMD can run 95% of games as good as any NVIDIA card and you factor in that most games have virtually no ray tracing support or any other fancy feature that NVIDIA offers, coupled with the known low performance/cost gains in their own graphics family, and their lack of ability to support demand despite being a trillion dollar company, I'd say that there isn't much of a leg to stand on.

Ask HN: I build a web app to host several links with a description, but pricing
Greetings,

I build a project that hosts your internet links but with a description, so each link has its own description for better guiding my audience and I've got a decent initial response from it.

However, I also love the current pricing structure as is at the moment because first, its in favour of the people using it, and second, this is a project that just was meant to help anyone in their initial struggling phase and that's why no enforced paywall.

The launch has gone good but from your experience, do you think this is a viable option of pricing?

What do you think?

I mean it is complex. You have genes like ADCYAP1R1 that are part of the turn on stress -> turn off stress loop. Variants in it lead to higher stress, but lower cortisol so so higher neurogenesis. So the group with the variants associated with PTSD (such as https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs2267735 C;C) may be smarter, but have a lower bar for developing PTSD.

"I had a childhood health complication that was somewhat similar to this, therefore I am very well suited to comment on something that affected a relative that is not in my immediate family."

I have a son who is on the spectrum, he is often assumed to be neuro-typical by people he doesn't spend a lot of time with. He is "high functioning", but is still vastly different to his peers with issues that I don't think anyone would categorise as "severe", but the impact on him emotionally and our family unit as a whole is severe and pervasive.

To be clear, I am not offended or upset, I just feel that you need to be made aware that you are deeply ignorant on a topic that is only a blip in your world.

I use Twitter/X a lot. I also bookmark a lot of Tweets that I find interesting or funny. However, I find Twitter's native bookmark feature to be very frustrating.

I sort of assume any classical musician I’ve ever heard of would be regarded by somebody like Adorno as popular tripe.

I dunno. I don’t like either of those artists, Swift or Minaj, but I’m sure they’ve brought a lot of joy into people’s lives. By what metric can we call them not good? Happiness provided? They score quite well. Some kind of complexity? Sure, not great… but if we pick that metric the high scores list will presumably be dominated by nonsense jazz inspired electronics artists with super fast drum machines, or something like that.
Insurance companies are already pricing climate disasters in their models and warning of significant costs from mitigating the damage. Markets probably are too short-sighted for that.

Also, actuaries are modeling costs of for example hurricanes, which is "easy" to fit to climate framework. But to see how the climate problems reflect to, say, Nvidia stock price is much harder.

I doubt there’ll ever be a time within the next 15-20 years at least where we’ll see a point of diminishing returns of increasing the model size. The reason is that we are still just scratching the surface on the input size to the model, 128K tokens of text is nothing compared to few frames of a single-stream HD video.
You're making a lot of assumptions without looking into anything. So for instance the ambient radiation on Mars is comparable to Ramsar, Iran. [1] It's the most naturally radioactive colonized location on Earth, yet people have been living there for generations with no concerning side effects whatsoever, and a number of seemingly positive effects. The bigger threat is actually quite similar to the issue with space - it's the intermittent major space weather events sending short extremely high intension bursts of radiation at you. Fortunately these can be detected and dealt with as necessary.

And the Mars program is not being publicly funded in any way, shape, or fashion. If it was - we would have likely colonized Mars decades ago. Werner von Braun - the man responsible for the success of the Apollo program already had workably viable plans drawn up for Mars before we even set foot on the Moon. The government's decision to defacto cancel the space program is what led to his very premature retirement. But I do think rapidly aiming for the basics of self sustainability will be important nonetheless. Fortunately Mars is almost set up like a video game in that most of everything we need to survive is somewhat serendipitously present.

---

As for what people want to do. It's funny, because I feel the exact opposite. I simply cannot understand people who have no desire to adventurize, explore, and see all that this universe has to offer in what little time we have on this Earth. It's probably why I'm an American yet find myself living half way around the world. And I would be the first to sign up for a mission to Mars as well. It'd certainly be a rather difficult life, but what more could be more desirable than spending the rest of your years laying the foundation for our children and our childrens' children, so that one day people coming to Mars would simply be just a holiday. And perhaps they then will then be the ones laying the foundation on Europa, or perhaps destinations that we can't even realistically imagine today.

It's certainly the same mindset people leaving the luxuries of the Old World had when setting out for the New World. The Old World was richly developed and full of culture, life, and civilization. Going to the New World entailed a voyage, as long as 4 months, and one which was quite frequently deadly. All to get to a completely undeveloped chunk of land full of oft unfriendly natives, new diseases, and all sorts of great ways to die in the middle of nowhere. And that's if you survived the voyage across to begin with, which many didn't. In many ways, we have it easier.

Output has been scarce for NVIDIA gpu's for quite some time. Often not even being able to support the demand for their cards. NVIDIA is a trillion dollar company right now. There should be no reason why they are restricting access to their reference cards and not able to support demand.

You are also not counting handheld use such as the Steamdeck. There is a reason Steamdeck doesn't use NVIDIA graphics.

Seeing the previous posts featuring this new company [1] there is a real market demand for phones and or tablets with color or BW E-ink displays.

I guess the combination of a more quiet or relaxing screen that you can view outside and a longer lasting battery is a real banger.

I didn’t order their tablet because I’m addicted to Apple’s ecosystem, but an iPad with an E—ink display would be an instant buy for me.

the tricky thing is distinguishing that which is being moved by the wave from the wave itself

if the wave is the energy moving, the energy is being moved by the wave, but then what's the wave? clearly not energy

if the wave is moving the energy around, the channel (or medium) is the wave!
Yes. The solution is to hoover up all the queries people are currently putting to ChatGPT, save how people have "prompt engineer"ed the solution (ie., answered the question themselves); and then hope that you can just feed this back to people without them noticing.

The only open question is whether people have common-enough queries for this charade to work out. It seems there's quite a lot at least. But this number will decrease over time for various reasons. So it's a game of building a system that can be retrained on the answers people are giving it fast enough that people don't notice where the answers are coming from.
Yep yep I know, but I was trying to suggest something diffusion-like occurring with a language model through a totally separate mechanism that does not rely on the denoising process (at least not literally).
According to this (highly interesting) paper I just read, it seems that the operating sounds of wind turbines come from the gearbox, which makes more sense to me because the blades of offshore turbines are turning very slowly. Also according to the same paper, the operating noises of offshore wind farms are probably not significant.

Well, faces and hands are still considered important. There’s a saying that if you get the face and hands right, you can get away with anything.

Also common advice for artists is to group the middle and ring fingers together. It just looks better and they kind of tend to do so naturally anyway.
Former pro DJ here. This is a big step in the right direction, but twitch probably won't be the beneficiary.

Music is sold and consumed in single-song increments, and that's silly. That's what the industry wants, not all consumers. It's like if you could only eat one kind of food ingredient at a time. There are absolutely amazing artists taking these ingredients and, like a chef, chopping and mixing them together in wildly creative ways. However, accessing this entertainment is very challenging because there is no legitimate online business model for it. This leaves DJ's with a big incentive to only perform their best material live where they can monetize it. Once there is an online business model where they can get paid decently for this material, music consumption will change dramatically in this catagory.

Imagine being able to tune into or stream different Vegas club mixes for your party at home, or at a bar, or at the gym? Imagine a netflix of all the best DJ sets of all time?

Twitch is doing some of the "icebreaking" here, but music streaming is a huge business, and Spotify/apple, and all the others will follow, and there will likely be one or more services that specialize in this.
I honestly got bored with Rogue One. All standard plot points, nothing new, plus you know how it ends. I fell asleep midway through. Once you know the ending, the plot needs to have some twists and turns to stay relevant and interesting. One rogue scientist having the detailed design for the entire Death Star is a ludicrous premise. That thing's as big as a planet. Heck, no single scientist could tell you the detailed architecture for CERN or even the ISS for that matter, and those are significantly smaller in scale.
My complaint is that it isn’t even fast.

I had a Burger King gift card in my wallet when I arrived at the PATH terminal at the World Trace Center and after I walked out of the Oculus I saw a CHOPT salad restaurant across the street and a BK across the corner. BK was crowded inside and was emitting greasy fumes I could smell outside.

My calculation was that it could take most of 30 minutes to wait in line and get my food at the BK, at the CHOPT I punched my order into a tablet and had it in 3 minutes.

I worked at BK in the late 1980s and there they would try to have burgers ready in the steam tray and on the heat chute before you ordered them so you really could get it fast. Fast food restaurants don’t seem to do this anymore.
The Zionist idea was to create a state where Jews could make their own destiny, which in part is to have a place where every jew can come with the rising antisemitism and pogroms as they could no loner be a people without a state. The Holocaust was one of the catalyst that a safe place for jews must be established i.e. no one will protect us but us. A prime example is the expulsion of Jews ,pogroms being a 2nd class citizen in Arab countries.

It's not surprising at all, should the Jews in the west just go about their lives with classic Christen, revived Marxism and newly imported Islamic antisemitism? These western government do nothing to counter it beside saying they condemn that, which means nothing.

Continued Invasions of neighboring countries?? Your bias is showing, every action of Israel is in response to aggression and terrorism by Israel's neighbors. Don't want to get invaded and bombed to hell? Shouldn't have fired thousands of missiles, rape, behead, mutilate, kidnap, harbor terrorists, dung terror tunnels, blocked trade blew up buses, restaurants and coffee shops. These "neighbors" of Israel always like to cry that Israel is the aggressor but it's always reflection.
Housing is expensive because:
1. Progressive governments making incredibly difficult and expensive to build houses, apartments, etc.
- E. g. I'm trying to build a house since SEVEN YEARS ago. Do you know what's the financial cost of having the land sitting there for 7 years? Who do you think is going to pay for that? Not me: it will be whoever buys that house.
- E. g. the 2023 Housing Law making mandatory to offer 40% of the housing a lower prices. Since construction costs are fixed and very well-known by now, who do you think is going to subsidize that 40%? Correct: the other 60%.

2. Rental prices are up, and will be even higher, because landlords have no protection against quatters and default tenants. I have suffered the problem myself: I put out for rent the apartment were I used to live until a few years ago and the tenants only paid for the first month. Then it took me 18 months to kick them out. That apartment will not for rent until the law changes. There's MILLIONS of apartments in Spain like that. Protecting the landlords (eg kicking squatters and defaulters in 2 weeks instead of 2 years) would make one million apartments available immediately, bringing prices down.
The early research in neural networks was hampered by proofs that perceptrons could never solve certain functions, like XOR. DNNs could have been developed much sooner otherwise. I view these proof papers with some skepticism, since they can be unnecessarily dismissive of good ideas.

"ASLR is a significant barrier to attacks."

that is a position statement, not a fact.

i don't care for, as is a very common theme here on HN, techbro-splaining that "it's a settled/widely known/etc. fact" when it is an opinion.

actually, that's really all the author pointed out - didn't say it wasn't valuable, just said it could be debated. thus goading, of course, a snarky response (including a "random" quote from an unnamed book) about what ASLR does and therefore there can be no debate.

i might agree with you, i might not agree you. but presenting facts, opinions, and arguments to support to reject a position sounds like a debate to me.

what i will also say is that any universally qualified statement about the value of a security hardening feature, risk of a vulnerability, etc. is always wrong until the threat model and all other engineering factors are properly weighed. what is "significant" to situation A may be "security theater" in situation B.
