I don't think the description on the page really captures how much of an improvement this is over traditional tic-tac-toe. It's not at all about the outcome being contrary to how perfect or poorly someone played, though I'm sure that adds some excitement too.

Deterministic tic-tac-toe is a very "degenerate" game, for lack of a better word, where the game readily falls into a state where one player is guaranteed to win absent a major blunder. There just isn't much space for actual decision making because most choices are just either obviously necessary or futile.

By making every square have different probabilities like you have, you've created a kind of "terrain" to the board that needs to be considered when making moves, which adds a whole new dimension. Because the layout is randomized, the utility of each square might get re-evaluated from game to game, which adds a whole new dimension to gameplay.

By the same token, a lot of sedentary people with no lifting experience might be intimidated by the idea of going to a gym, and the cost and even just the step of getting to a gym are additional barriers they have to overcome.

Getting started with a body weight routine or simple bands or kettle bell setup at home has huge advantages.

> It originally sold at auction for $2M, and I would imagine/hope they could have made multiples that through a standard release.

It is my experience that once folks achieve wealth thru copyright, they fixate on controlling their IP. Both money and control override nuance-based sense and social good but control will commonly trump money.

I don't know WTC and am not speaking to their specific motivations - beyond suggesting this copyright profile could be in play.
I feel that way about running - I really don't enjoy it at all, but I do it all the same, and there is obviously health benefit and satisfaction from having made yourself do this thing which is good for you (maybe esp. if you have a motivating goal such as weight loss).

I actually enjoy weights - nowadays I just use dumbbells + incline bench at home (basically too cheap to pay for gym membership), but I used to enjoy the satisfaction of progression going to the gym to extent that I used to weight train every day.

Is Elon Musk worth his £44B Tesla pay package?
Wholeheartedly agreed.

At various times in computing history, but not infrequently, a device was shipped with a programming environment.

IMHO, we should mandate a return to that by law.

(1) Any interface-capable device must afford its owner an ability to create new programs on it. (E.g. laptop, pad, smartphone)

(2) Any device sold must allow its owner an ability to load programs of their choice onto it.

(3) Any device sold may include security or restriction features, but must include a jailbreak capability that removes all such restrictions, if the user so chooses.

Teaching an entire generation that a computing device is a thing to be used (and hoping someone else has created and gotten approval for a program to do what you want) is a bad evolutionary path.

The point isn't that everyone will use on-device creative capabilities -- it's that anyone can.

And that their efforts can then be shared with others.
I remember Jeremy from fast ai was an advocate for notebook centric flows. But I have to respectfully disagree that he is a good authority on maintainable / scalable coding practices like this. And though I may be wrong, I feel like the fast ai lib itself is a not too useful wrapper around pytorch and people would be better served just learning pytorch itself. I say this as someone who watched a year of the fast ai videos, and got really excited about ai because of the fast ai course, which I am still grateful for. But this is my current take.
Don’t beat yourself up…you’re probably right. Joking aside, with Amazon, you just never know whether you are going to get a hardened forged steel item, or pot-metal. You can’t even count on that “stainless steel bowl” actually being stainless at all these days. That whole marketplace is a grand example of the exact problem with outsourcing. These days you can’t even rely on price or brand being an indicator of what you will receive (with the counterfeits and intentional overpricing of sub-par items).
The rumored 3 digit prices paid for nuclear contracts he shares, while a decent profit over the marginal running costs of an existing nuclear plant, do not cover even the low end of costs to build a brand new plant in the USA. Which, unlike his Australian audience, has an existing nuclear industry.

I wonder if he knows that and it's why he uses the price of building in China as a benchmark?

The latest Lazard gives $32 to run a nuclear plant, $190 average to build one, with a range of 144 to $222.
nope. nobody is worth that much compensation.
> I don't consider "inferior" to be "I don't have a Porsche and they do".

You keep fixating on luxury cars for some reason, I'm talking about fundamental rights recognized in the universal declaration of human rights. I couldn't care less about owning a Porsche or a Tesla.

I care about the health and education of my family and I don't want to live in a society where people die because of lack of treatments. You say "a $10m operation", I'm sorry to say that shows again you're out of touch. People die every day because they can't afford insulin, which costs about $3 per vial to produce.

Yup. That comic is from 2014!
We always hear about the benefits, but never the etiology. One theory suggested here is insulin sensitivity of muscle mass. Here is another. Leg muscles help to pump blood to your brain. You can actually die from being suspended vertically in a harness with blood pooling in the legs and nothing to push against. Either way, I’d suspect that strengthening the legs captures the bulk of the effect.
This is super neat, but it serves to remind me of the difficult (as in decision-making) position I'm in. I recently refreshed so have a few years to go until it's time again, but I would love to go RISC-V, but I want high performance that is going to last me several years.

For comparison sake, right now my desktop has an AMD 5950x 16-core (32v) in it, and my Framework 16 laptop has a Ryzen 7 7840HS (8-core (16v)). The reason this matters is that I expect to spend around $2k for a machine, but if I'm going to spend that kind of money, it's going to be my only workstation. I suspect it will take some time for RISC-V chips to get anywhere near competitive. But if I assume everybody is like me, that presents a real chicken-and-egg problem for high performance RISC-V laptops.
Weights and Biases and MLOps
I am currently working on an MVP for a MLOps platform much like weights and biases (wandb.ai). I would be very intereted to hear what peoples pain points are with wandb!

I will list mine:
- Limited collaboration, its hard to share graphs between team memebrs without sc and talking thru slack e.g, I want this to be more refined
- Reports, their reports UI is bad and difficult to use
- Speed, slow platform

Any painpoints with wandb / alternatives please let me know!
I really want to solve this problem and not build a SISP!
For me in the U.S., googling "A&E" gave A & E Network, a cable channel. I do not see "accident" on the first page of links.
You worded your comment much better than I did, and you touch on the key point in all of this which is the assumption that chatGPT etc will continue to get noticeably better at regular intervals. It’s entirely possible that openAI has reached a local maximum with the data, compute, and model structure they have available.

The data is tapped out for the most part. They already probably acquired 80% of the available text training data.

Compute is now heavily cost constrained. This is obvious because even GPTs responses have gotten worse over the last 6 months, especially with image generation tasks. Likely because they’re throttling compute.

Model structure: OpenAI has admitted that they cannot understand why chatGPT has generated a given output. If you can’t explain your model you can’t improve it either. And more compute won’t help you that much here if I had to guess.
Squats don't work your grip, and I'd say deadlifts work your back quite a bit more than squats.
Paragraph 3

> The thesis, developed five years ago, is to invest at the early stage in founders aiming to build capital-efficient profit-focused calm companies. Although this might sound like common sense, it was basically heresy among professional investors five years ago and still remains a deeply non-consensus approach to investing.

That explains what a calm company is?
> If he were from occupied Norway, he would never even have gotten the chance to start IKEA, people didn't buy from quislings

How about Knut Hamsun?
I suspect that this is a compute tradeoff they decided to make. Uses much less compute than SORA, so feasible to scale up for the public, but that much less coherent. If you look at OpenAI's technical report for SORA they show examples with "base compute" and "4x compute". This output looks like an estimated "2x" to me.

I wonder if they are really talking about the model size.
Ask HN: How do you know people will like your work?
I am a policy guy who was once an engineer. And thus whenever, I find data, I try to visualize it. Of course, I also want it to be acknowledged. But I have done at least two projects in recent years and realized that no one liked them. To that end, I will like your opinion, how do you think what you will do will garner interest?

This is different from building a library / api / start up. I am just trying to put up data to make an impact.

A project I thought was deeply interesting was how mean quant GRE scored changed over the years as compared to PISA scores. I thought this was interesting, but it was clearly not, across HN and other places I shared it: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNjhiYmZmODktM2VhZC00NDNkLWJmZGUtMzYyZWQ3YzdlMWIwIiwidCI6Ijg4OWYxNTI3LWQ4MzYtNGFhNy1iMzE4LTIzYWYwMTUxMGQxYiIsImMiOjl9&pageName=ReportSection

Most of these are legislative problems, in the sense that they intentionally exist. The legal climate of Germany makes startups nearly impossible, because the German government doesn't want risk takers to exist.

I would also add that I have seen a determined anti-education attitude, especially against STEM education. In stark distinction STEM careers are usually considered "lower class" than civil service careers. This is combined with a truly bizarre anti-education stance by education ministers, who see technology not as something which requires a more educated population, but rather means basic education is less important as "computers can do that".

I also completely disagree on work ethic. In my experience Germans want less hours and more work from home, but are willing to be extremely productive in that time frame.
It's purely about compute power[0]. The A17 Pro has 35 TOPS of Neural Engine performance, A16 Bionic has 17. A15 has 15.8.

The M-series have less performance, but I think they're compensated by being in iPads where they can use more power (battery) without impacting people's lives too much.

Those guys lift weights constantly. Nearly every variant of professional athlete does, maybe a few exceptions for fully endurance based sports.
The problem for me is that they took our design, styles, fonts, colors, gradients, and name for a very similar product and shipped it with quite an impressive team that is well-funded by A16z.

Their product is much slicker than what we are doing with Pollinations, of course. We are a few people working on it in our spare time.

It would have just been nice to get a kind of mention or have someone reach out. I'm all for getting inspired and copying.

The current state of the Pollinations site is very different. The Luma Labs page looks like what Pollinations had on its site about nine months ago when the Dream Machine was a more significant focus of ours.

I could get into the weeds and show side-by-side screenshots but it seems like the wrong direction to invest time. The person who did our design didn't think it was very funny.

In my opinion Gen AI startups should be extremely careful in crediting because the whole copyright thing is already such a hot potato with artists and designers.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. Unless Apple users want to swap a multi-gig 3B model onto their 256gb SSD and chew through it's lifetime TBW, we should be campaigning for enough RAM to do normal stuff. Our SSDs deserve a break.

Does the zed editor not have plugins?

I have been a vi/vim/neovim user for decades, and I actually use vscode more because of an excellent neovim plugin that does exactly what the author is eschewing: embedding neovim itself.

I have seen so many attempts at trying to include vi keybindings. Mostly, they fall short enough that the attempts are almost worthless. You have to get it mostly right or it fails to satisfy the very people you are trying to lure.

The Hypothetical Nuclear Strong Force Is Not What Holds a Nucleus Together
> AI is exponentially improving

The theoretical research may have improved exponentially. Implementations available for use seem to be on the decline – at best, stagnant. I find less and less utility as time goes on. Things LLMs shined at a couple of years ago now produce garbage. And for creative work, the output is much too formulaic, which was all well and good initially while still novel, but one has to keep pushing new boundaries and the current crop of tools really seems to struggle with that.
Knowledge of and use of AI tools in non-tech industries is still pretty low. I wouldn’t expect a publisher of encyclopedias to implement AI tools for years.
and affect our and our environment's health?

Zero concrete evidence. Lots of vague handwaving and paranoia.
When the topic under discussion is incredibly complex that even researchers in mentioned companies do not understand. This is like saying lets learn how combustion inside airplane engines work to get a better understanding of what LLMs can do.

Is it not better to focus your limited time on things that you can understand?
Can someone train an AI to perform all that?
Using LCOE to look at the price of renewables is quite funny. Also, this report for nuclear use as metric the most expensive reactor in US

> Also, nuclear gets subsidies. They are not on the hook for liability.
The International Renewable Energy Agency tracked some $634 billion in energy-sector subsidies in 2020, and found that around 70% were fossil fuel subsidies. About 20% went to renewable power generation, 6% to biofuels and just over 3% to nuclear.

Thats about more than 120 billions every year. 87 bilions only in EU.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02847-2#:~:text=A....

In EU its way more than 20% (in 2022 more than 50%), nuclear something like 1%.

> Thanks to this policy, should a catastrophic accident happen at one of the 54 nuclear plants operating in the United States, the nuclear industry would be liable for the first $16.1 billion in damages and taxpayers would be on the hook to cover the remainder. The Fukushima nuclear disaster has already been reported to exceed $90 billion. The full value of the Price-Anderson nuclear subsidy is difficult to estimate, but if nuclear operators had to carry the full cost of insurance against a nuclear accident, the plants would most likely become uneconomic to build: https://environmentamerica.org/updates/feds-extend-nuclear-p...

And? Dams have been shown to be much more dangerous than nuclear power, but I don't see any such thing existing. Don't associate political choices to technologies.

Either way, it's less than what renewables get every year, which says a lot about the public perception of the costs of nuclear and renewable.

As for the Fukushima "disaster," I do not minimize the costs, simply comparing the nuclear power of 60 years ago with the nuclear power in the article is intellectually dishonest. And I don't understand in which timeline it should be considered as a valid argument to be against modern and new nuclear technologies.
Deadlifts also prevent back injury when they are done properly.
Hi HN,

I'm currently creating a new app which allows people to host others in order to acquire karma, and also use said karma to stay places themselves.
As a programmer/traveller/digital nomad, I wanted somewhere where I can reliably find hosts to stay with, without having to pay Airbnb/hotel fees (which I have often found to be pretty eye-wateringly expensive).

In case you've heard of Couchsurfing (or any of its alternatives such as Trustroots/BeWelcome), I am also aiming to solve some pain points which I feel exist with those apps (mainly lack of hosts + unreliable hosts + safety concerns). Having been left in the lurch due to hosts cancelling last minute, I can safely say it's a right PITA to then have to find somewhere else!

It's due for release late summer (hence no Show HN post), and I'm looking for some travelling/remote working oriented people to test it out. You can submit your email on the linked page if you think this app might interest or help you - I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'd also be really interested to hear feedback on the idea, and am here to answer any questions.

Cheers!

Citation? In the mifepristone case just yesterday, SCOTUS reminded us of the need for "standing" — albeit while practically drawing a road map for other plaintiffs to try again.

Question: Under your reasoning, are Judge Kacsmaryk's nationwide injunctions, e.g., in the mifepristone case, similarly "stupid and arrogant," even though they're technically permissible under the All-Writs Act [which needs major revision IMHO]?
Why would it be most desirable for society if the only thing done with land was to maximize profit? Society also values museums, parks, etc. - but those are not a profit maximization things.

You keep bringing up price, but price and use of the land are not the same. A price (if transacted on) also only really speaks towards the parties involved, not society as a whole.

The mess we have today is not because we don't maximize profits from landownership enough.

Microsoft needs hardware for their “AI pc” too, this is nothing new and the only alternatives are server-side (which people will complain about even more) or extremely slow performance which will chew up battery (which, guess what, people complain about even more).

People are looking to find fault with apple and are going to construct a reason to be upset no matter what. It’s literally every single thread that mentions apple at all, just wildly unfair attacks and special-pleading and arguments from perfectionism that no other vendor is ever held to.

We really, really need to come to terms with these problems around apple discourse, it is so bad-faith and so noxious every single time. I don’t mean mod action but as long as people keep tolerating it and encouraging it and especially the whole “apple sheeple” “people who buy apple are doing it because they’re morons chasing blue bubbles” etc needs to not be on a site like this, and that is going to require people in the communities to stop tolerating it.
The problem really is the progressive tax system, which directly promotes low productivity, since working more usually means lower and lower wages.

I met many engineers who would be completely willing to work more hours, but it makes very little sense as you are working the additional hours for far lower wages.

The idea of banning lower work times is new to me, but seems in line with the German government approach to invent an anti-solution to the problem with severe potential downsides (e.g. for parents).
