Right, I seem to get the same result on things I post from my medium publication - which started after I posted some links to some time travel stories I wrote in a post about time travel which seemed to me to relate and which got a few upvotes.

After that if I posted a link to an article I wrote it got shadow blocked (at least for a bit) the thing is I only post things here that I think fit the site, which is about 10% of what I write, and I am a relatively prolific poster.

Looking at my current submissions - in the last 30 submissions one was to an article I wrote. Why? Because I thought it fit HN, just like all the other things I post I think fit HN.

Personally I think that's being a relatively well-behaved user of the site, but evidently not.

You could learn how to use Python. Just spend one of those 4 hours actually learning. Imagine just getting into a car and pressing controls until something happened. This wouldn't be allowed to happen in any other industry.
Does everything ever written need to be crafted by an artisan? And awful lot of useful stuff written “good enough” is good enough. Depth of knowledge or understanding is irrelevant to a lot of front end UI development where the key is the design itself and that the behavior of the design is accurate and reliable not that the engineer -really- understand at a core of their soul graphql and react with the passion of a Japanese craftsman when they’re building a user interface for the ML backend that internal users use for non critical tasks. There does exist a hierarchy of when depth matters and it’s not homogeneously “literally everything you do.”

> Note that french people saying "inshallah" say it as a joke (they use this word for fun effect),

To be fair that is how a lot of new vocabulary ends up in the standard lexicon.

Total tangent there's this thing in Japanese where a word ends up meaning one thing and also its opposite, due to being used ironically. Sometimes the original meaning is lost, sometimes it isn't. Like 貴様 (originally a honorific, now an insult) or 適当 meaning at the same time proper and sloppy.
I'm going to visit someone who is having it worse, in my opinion.

He's slowly deteriorating from Alzheimers. He won't acknowledge it and has become seriously grumpy. He used to know everyone in his town. He was a good guy. Now, everyone thinks he's an asshole. Everyone who didn't meet him before he started this decline has had a terrible time with him. He curses all the time.

Last week, he forgot to shut off the gas and was found unconscious by the fire department. Now, he will be in a care home against his wishes until the inevitable. This is not the first incident where police had to be phoned, either.

So he's gone from a week liked, active member of the community to being the grumpy old guy that the authorities have to be phoned about in just a couple of years.

I'm going to go see him for a final farewell later this month, I hope he recognises me.
In some sense, a robot fighting force will be a sort of Next Generation Neutron Bomb (TM). It will have the capability to enter the population center of a non-peer opponent and sever communications and secure key locations for immediate occupation by friendly force hoominz - but entirely without the muss & fuss of kinetic destruction or the toll in souls of massed gunfire.

Of course this kind of scenario was the fantasy outcome of the lightning win over and occupation of Iraq, with "thunder runs" and such, but in the longer term it didn't work out that way.

I like this take:

> Viewing these cases as potential criminal offences will do nothing for the health of women and their babies. There is a strong public interest in promoting the good health of pregnant women and babies, but, as longstanding government policy recognises, this interest is best served by treating addiction and substance abuse in pregnancy as a public health, not criminal issue.

Another aspect I'm almost sure affects babies is alcohol / drug use by either parent prior to conception. In the months prior if the father or mother consume drugs, you will have a negative impact on your child, and nobody gets prosecuted, because nobody can tell you're 10% dumber or 15% more anxious for your whole life due to it.
And yet...

I recall when young, people were commenting on how most media came from centralized locations. That with newspapers, and then radio, and now TV, pronunciation was moving towards being less regionalized, diverse, yet also that the choice of words to use, the synonyms to use, was changing.

I also recall the same being said for a variety of things, such as spell checkers, and grammar checkers used in wordprocessors. Some grammar was "OK", but other forms were being pushed by (most especially) earlier wordprocessors, with grammatically valid text being marked with that wavy underline.

Now we have AI.

My point?

Kids are going to be raised in a world with AI. If it spends a decade or more spewing blather such as this, an entire slew of people will grow up, from 10 to 20 years old, 15 to 25 years old, learning to cobble together sentences in this sort of way.

Not only will they read it, but "helpful" assistants will change their normal prose, into this gibberish.

So I'm sorry mkl, it sort of will be grammatical. And no, I'm not happy about it.
Show HN: Mp3Converter AI – Free, Accurate, Easy, and Fast
It all started one evening while I was preparing for a music editing project. I had several audio files in different formats that needed to be converted to MP3. The existing tools were either too slow, compromised on quality, or required complex steps. I realized there was a clear need for a faster, more efficient solution that anyone could use without hassle.

Understanding this need was straightforward. In our increasingly digital world, audio conversion is a common requirement, whether for professional use or personal enjoyment. People want a reliable, high-quality tool that simplifies this process, saving them time and effort.

Determined to create such a tool, I embarked on the journey of developing MP3Converter AI. The process was anything but smooth. Over the span of six months, I faced multiple challenges – from fine-tuning the AI algorithms to ensuring the user interface was intuitive. There were moments of frustration, but each setback was a learning opportunity that brought me closer to my goal.

Finally, MP3Converter AI was born. This tool leverages advanced AI technology to deliver fast, accurate, and high-quality audio conversions. It supports all major audio formats, ensuring seamless conversion to MP3 with just a few clicks. The AI algorithms ensure the original audio quality is preserved, providing crystal-clear sound in the output.

Key features of MP3Converter AI include:

Lightning-fast conversions that save you time.
High-precision AI algorithms that maintain audio quality.
User-friendly interface designed for both professionals and casual users.
Support for multiple audio formats, making it versatile and comprehensive.
Completely free to use, offering unparalleled value.
I invite you all to try out MP3Converter AI and share your feedback. Your insights are crucial for us to improve and provide an even better user experience. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
As far as OpenSSH is concerned, I believe the main problem is that there is no centralized revocation functionality. You have to distribute your revocation lists via an external mechanism and ensure that all your servers are up to date. There is no built-in mechanism like OCSP, or better yet, OCSP stapling in SSH. You could use Kerberos, but it's a royal pain to set up and OpenSSH is pretty much the defacto standard when it comes to SSH servers.

HN guidelines suggest to take each comment in good faith.

> building a new LLM architecture is as far from science than building a new bridge architecture is. That is, it might use some jargon and apply some concepts, but it is not scientific.

If you would like to make the case as to why, I'm all ears, but simply stating such without stating why is hardly a substantial argument.

> Talking about gaslighting is uncalled for.

You're right, gaslighting is a strong accusation. I should have just pointed out the gatekeeping and left it at that.

> Most scientific research is funded in the hope of seing applications. Return on investment is at best a secondary objective

Again, I should have proofread my comment better and used a positive form such as "much of" or "a lot of", instead of a comparative or superlative form. I didn't intend to make any claims as to the exact ratio of research funded with financial motivation.

> But then, so is your overly aggressive take. So can we please stop for a moment and have a constructive discussion instead of calling each other names?

That's where I disagree. I didn't call OP any names, I do not intentionally engage in ad hominem. Describing behavior is not calling someone names. I'm all for a constructive discussion, and I will consider your critique on my admittedly hastily written comment, but you also need to find it within yourself to take a more charitable and constructive approach, and to not make unsubstantiated claims.
The bearings on a front-loader live a hard life and eventually fail, often as a result of the seal failing. I will give a typical top-loader a longer projected life without significant mechanical maintenance. (I’ve changed two sets of bearings on my own front loaders and one for my in-laws. It’s doable DIY but takes several hours, making it expensive to have a tech come do it.)

It is a cliche, but: education. I think most people don’t even consider that there are ethical arguments to be had, and merely accept whatever is given to them.

That and easy off-ramps for alternatives. “X is bad, so use Y instead” is a powerful move, but it only works if Y is actually a viable alternative to X.
Oh man, sorry to hear about the dev burnout. But what do you expect? We made software worthless by giving away ready products for free. It’s not a library for other devs to use, so we can all „stand on the shoulder of giants”. Stuff like this should be paid from the start.

Only very slightly tangential, I remember when my son had his surgery and had to be in the hospital, they would have these dosing machines for the medicine and they would start throwing a warning sign 3 minutes before the syringe was empty, every 30 seconds and then a proper alarm when it was empty. Now, we were supposed to call a nurse to remove the syringe, and each nurse had their own preference on when to be called. Some said call us when the warning starts, some said call us a minute before and some said call us when the red alarm goes off. We found this strange until one of them explained it is simply related to the amount of chit chat they wanted to do with us, as the syringe always had to go out at the red alarm
If it is a flash type circuit, the capacitor will be connected directly across the xenon tube, and a separate trigger circuit will generate a much higher voltage to start the xenon conducting, and allow the capacitor to discharge it's energy and trigger the flash.

So, it might be the 350v capacitor has failed and is not storing enough charge to generate a meaningful flash, or the trigger circuit which is not generating the initial >5kV to get the xenon conducting.

Either way, i'd check the circuit before the xenon tube.
I wish I could pray and convince language author to please give us RAII in Zig. That is the only thing I want presently - I truly detest writing `defers` after my experience in Golang.

An old-time pond, from off whose shadowed depth

Is heard the splash where some lithe frog leaps in.

Then is heard a splash.

Plash of the water

When a frog jumps in.

Who sat by a pond on a log

And, to see what resulted,

In the pond catapulted

With a water-noise heard round the bog.

The guardian is spreading loony-leftist misinformation on a permanent basis, never mind the election. It’s like standing on shifting sands that one really does have to be a seriously critical thinker to see through. Reading it is a recipe for becoming mind-addled, probably more mind-addled than reading the Daily Mail which at least is obvious in its simple right-wing messaging. Plus, there’s a reason why The Guardian is free… (said as someone who reads it daily).

Pumped hydro can store more energy then any battery array. You can size a battery, or pumped hydro, to any power level you like, but batteries by their nature scale differently: the faceplate capacity of a battery multiplied by 4 is also pretty much the energy storage.

Whereas pumped hydro can store far more energy (limited by upper reservoir size) then any battery array, but you pay for it in the fact that if you have a 1 MW turbine system on it, and 100 MWh of storage, you still only have 1 MW of power capacity (and about 100 hours of storage).

The problem is 100 hours of storage isn't much use if your grid needs more then that right now and it also can usually only be "charged" at about half that rate, so that 100 hours takes 200 hours to accumulate and that number is fixed - there's no surge capability - but if you're dealing with solar panels putting out on average 30% of their faceplate power, but obviously peaking at 100% frequently, you need to be able to store the peak to store it at all.
Cheers and best of luck

>Were the 3dfx chips just openly documented enough

All chips have always been documented well enough, since that's the only way for the board partners and system integrators to know how to build cards with them and write drivers for them as was common back then, so everything had to be well documented, same how we have datasheets today with all the low level registers, and application notes with PCB and code samples.

The question is always how sticky the NDAs are for you to also get your hands on them, but since 3dfx went bust, the leaks are no longer a problem.

> If someone interned as a doctor's assistant at a medical center and then later started their own medical center. Can their previous employer sue them for that? It's nonsense.

As I said the legality of this is not so simple to answer, yes you can intern as a doctor at one place and then open a similar one, and if someone tries file a suit about this then I think it will be very hard to find a sympathetic judge to look into it, but once you bring IP into this it becomes a lot more complicated, calculus is also about ideas, yet it didn't stop Leibniz or Newton from making accusations of plagiarizing.

>If Replit can sue this guy, then Cloud9 can sue Replit, WebStorm can sue Cloud9, Microsoft can sue WebStorm, etc, etc... Who even invented the first IDE?

the difference here is that the guy worked/interned at replit, this what moves it for me from the founder being an asshole to a grey area where he sees someone had access to all resources at the company and now wants to use that knowledge(or at least having access to it) to create an alternative and he decides to go with a heavy handed approach before it becomes a big headache, was he nice in how he went about it? no
