Show HN: Adding support for sponsored products in Meilisearch
I am the creator of the Kleio Ad Server and a big fan of the Meilisearch search engine. They share the goal of being blazingly fast and accurate.

I have added native support for Meilisearch in Kleio. To use it, you let Kleio proxy your requests to Meilisearch and it then runs an ad auction on the results returned by Meilisearch.

I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts.

The docs linked to here also include a docker compose file you can use to quickly spin up an end-to-end demo.

If you'd like to learn more about the ad-server itself, then you can find it here too: https://kle.io

> Florida, third most populous state, actually has a DHSMV or FLHSMV depending on where you look... but their online services portal is branded MyDMV, even though there is no state agency or division called the DMV. See how this can be confusing?

The full name is "Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles" -- DHSMV and FLHSMV are two different ways of abbreviating that.

MyDMV is the name of the new web portal the state recently released, which I believe is a third-party application running on top of Salesforce. So that's just the name of the software, not of any official state agency. The previous web portal, which IIRC was a custom standalone application, had a different name.

And it's worth noting that they made a horrible botch job of data migration during the rollout of the new MyDMV portal, and huge numbers of users were left unable to authenticate -- when attempting to log in, they're told to visit their local driver's license office instead. Unfortunately, local driver's license offices are administered by the counties in Florida, and work directly with FLHSMV's underlying databases, so have no ability to correct access issues with the web portal. The whole thing is an absolute trainwreck.

Our company is working with a SEO firm we pay $11k/mo for (who I want to fire).

They sent us new copy for our core marketing pages last week, and many sections simply sound non-sensical. As in it just didn't make cohesive sense, and it was clear a human being didn't write (or even review) the content.

This is the problem with new AI "slop". In the past, blogspam / SEO spam was at least reviewed and written by a human. Now, we have content getting published straight out of the mouth of text generators.

The quality of long-form content from text generators is significantly worse than even mediocre $10/hr copywriters in many cases.

AIUI, resin 3d printers currently either use a UV laser and a set of galvos to steer it across the build plate, or a bright UV LED and an LCD to selectively admit and block light to various parts of the plate. The laser approach is higher performance but more fiddly and expensive, while the LCD approach is simpler to set up but has a shorter service life (due to UV degradation of the LCD) and produces lower light intensities at the build plate.

I have often wondered why nobody uses the DMD approach[1] common to digital laser projectors. This sounds something like that, albeit with the mirrors replaced with this LCD magic.

Your passwords haven't been bound to Safari for quite a while. You already had to use the Passwords app found in Settings. Both Safari and Keychain Access have controls to allow you to open the Passwords app (the Settings one) from within them, but it stands independently.

The new Passwords app seems to be the old Passwords app with some refinements, new features, and moving it out into a more familiar location rather than it being hidden away in Settings. You might say this is Passwords v2.

This is not true.

As per Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. - https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/13-354

> While it is certainly true that a central objective of for-profit corporations is to make money, modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not do so. For-profit corporations, with ownership approval, support a wide variety of charitable causes, and it is not at all uncommon for such corporations to further humanitarian and other altruistic objectives. Many examples come readily to mind. So long as its owners agree, a for-profit corporation may take costly pollution-control and energy-conservation measures that go beyond what the law requires. A for-profit corporation that operates facilities in other countries may exceed the requirements of local law regarding working conditions and benefits. If for-profit corporations may pursue such worthy objectives, there is no apparent reason why they may not further religious objectives as well.

Yes, the world has moved on. As I understand it, the primary market these days for what a decade back we'd call a "feature phone" is elders perhaps entering cognitive decline, or otherwise better served by a device not capable of the default levels of annoyance. (It makes sense! I've had a smartphone since 2012, and have spent every one of those dozen years getting more skillful at frustrating its software suppliers' desire to pester me. I'm quite good at that now, but God help me with whatever's novel twenty or thirty years hence...)

It would not surprise me to see this change over the next decade or so. On the one hand, 5G will probably remain the dominant radio scheme for at least that long, so that there'll be less pressure on device manufacturers for constant hardware changes to provide basic functionality. And on the other, the mounting backlash against the current iteration of the tech industry and specifically the harms it inflicts on children (1) may well develop into a movement toward ensuring connectivity while structurally limiting the sort of access required for algorithmic exploitation - which seems like very naturally opening a niche for the sort of device you prefer. Such a genre of phone may not partake of the sort of design language you might prefer, and it will of course be overpriced as any luxury good, but in functionality I suspect it'll come quite close to satisfaction.

$3000 for a 2000lb car is $1.50 per pound on average after manufacturing, retail. That's absurd. Raw aluminum is nearly that price.

The cost of raw materials alone for a typical US car are over $4000 before any labor has gone into it.

The only way you're gonna get a $3000 car is if everyone involved with the production from the mine to the dealership is working for pennies.
I have just one question: is this product meant for the "hobbyist" space only?
That ties to one of the standard axioms of the real numbers in classical mathematics.

There exists a set P which is closed under addition and multiplication, such that for every real number x, one of these three things is true: x is in P, -x is in P, x = 0.

P is, of course, the positive numbers. This axiom makes the reals into an ordered field. Add in completeness, and the reals are unique (up to choice of set theory).

Maybe they come in around the modified heliosphere termination shock, as the earth swings through it. The turbulence in the boundary layer manages to decelerate the ICM so that components of it can drift into the atmosphere on low energy trajectories. Fun right?

So to be clear if you were trying to reduce my anxiety here, that's not really what I'm feeling. I'm feeling wonder and creativity. I would prefer for you to brainstorm cute scientific mechanisms that might allow it to happen!

I'll just add a couple of details here since I have had this happen to me multiple times...

I'm an Australian citizen and this applies just as much to me as a foreigner (for whom although I disagree about, I could make a reasonable argument for this being valid). Police require a warrant and/or reasonable suspicion of having committed a specific crime to search any part of you or your belongings. Border Force do not require this.

When they ask for the code, they will either:

- just open your device and rifle through your photos and messages in front of you, asking questions like "got a lot of photos of x, what's that about?" or "who is y?", ask you questions like "what are you doing in Australia? Who are you seeing? What's your relationship to them?" et cetera (even to me, a citizen who spends majority of my time abroad).

- Take it into another room for 20mins or so and presumably take a dump of the whole thing for further analysis. I once asked "what is done with this data and how long is it stored" and they refused to answer the question.

One time after refusing to hand over the code (politely) I was treated pretty aggressively, had my whole body searched (not strip searched, groped well all over), all my luggage taken apart etc. I received a letter in the mail that I could go and collect my phone at the airport after around 3 weeks. It seems unlikely they have some tech which allows exfiltration of data from a locked iPhone(?) so I'm not sure what that's about. They claimed to me that they do indeed have this capability.

Since refusing to open the phone and letting them keep it I seem to be on some kind of list and have had a Border Force officer meet me at the baggage carousel a couple of times with the "please come with me sir" to my own private search area where a few of them are ready to search my luggage inside out. This seems to happen less recently since I have just given them the code. They have successfully made it inconvenient enough for me to comply.

One time years ago they did the same thing with my laptop. Since that incident they have only asked about my phone.

In 1982, Digital Research released CP/M-68K for the Motorola 68000. This was initially written in Pascal following DRI’s acquisition of the MicroSYSTEMS company in Solana Beach. This port was originally made for the Atari ST, but Atari chose to go a different way

Odd, I hadn't heard the Pascal bit before. And the C/assembly source for CP/M 68k is out there to see (e.g. https://github.com/dwildie/cpm-68k)

Further, while Atari did go a different direction, it wasn't that different. DR's "GEMDOS" is like a fusion of MS-DOS and CP/M 68k, designed to play the same role on the 68k that PC/MS-DOS did for GEM on the 8086. There's I think bits in there that came from the CP/M architecture and codebase (program loader, for one). GEMDOS not only ran on the ST but was built first on the Apple Lisa (and some Motorola VME machines too, I believe.)

That’s a pretty big over dramatization. You are assuming the company would not be able to operate and provide value to its investors without said deal.
Doug Hofstadter's concept of "heterarchy" is somewhat apropros here. A heterarchy matches TFA's concept of a "closure" (information about the micro doesn't really aid in predicting or understanding the macro), but adds in the ability for higher (more macro) levels to feedback to the lower (more micro) levels.

I don't know how much Hofstadter still invests in this idea, but at the time of GEB, he seemed pretty convinced it is/was a central part of how complex systems like minds/brains function.

What happens if AI slop learns that I like accurate content and it suddenly gets good?
Can confirm that the gif only has two flashes, although the second one appears to be two frames long.
Yeah, and most of the reason for that can basically be summed up as "it's what Google incentivises".

They look for detailed pages, so pages are bloated with irrelevant information. They look for pages people spend a lot of time on, so the same thing occurs. Plus, the hellscape that is modern advertising means that rushing content out quickly and cheaply is encouraged over anything else.

AI will probably accelerate the process even more, but it's already been a huge issue for years now.
It's not necessarily a feature that needs to be embedded in the protocol. There's lots of innovation clients (and servers) can do independently even with a shared protocol.

That said, I'm still curious if JMAP might ever get much traction outside of Fastmail and a few others. They make a good point that having an HTTP-capable and JSON speaking protocol opens up potential webmail client innovation in good ways. But I don't expect we'll see a much faster adoption curve than the currently slow trickle.
I think I'd prefer having new large-ish developments (20+ homes?) install a single house-sized building filled with batteries so individual homeowners don't have to sacrifice space or deal with maintenance, replacement, insurance, etc.
Also, to have a chance at what? Admission to the best colleges in the country? Highly exclusive jobs? It’s not clear what the poster is even talking about.
Yes, AI isn't entirely to blame for this - it's low quality, irrelevant and misleading content in general.

Also, we have to look at the incentives: advertisement. Somehow, this is acceptable to consumers, profitable for companies and profitable for publishers. How, is absolutely beyond me... and it won't change so long as Google has a majority in the "search"-space as they are directly profiting from this.
Slop has been around a while. I was researching a topic, and noticed that most of the top search results had the same misunderstanding of some of the definitions. The writers were clearly not familiar with the topic, and I'm sure they were just copying each other. All of the articles pre-dated GPT-3.5.

The kicker is that if you ask GPT-4 about it, it spits out the same incorrect information, meaning that GPT-4 was likely trained on this bad data. FWIW, GPT-4o gives a much more accurate response.
