+1. More transparency around usage limit would be very helpful. Message based seems arbitrary if different messages are different lengths. Maybe token based with a bar that tracks how much you’ve used. It would go down with use and up with time and capacity and you’d be able to track and pace usage better than a warning you’re on last ten. Or just let us pay more for more usage! Switch to API!

There's practically no way to know someone is going to mess up your address. You can't be liable for that.

If you're living at a place (or spend a lot of time there) you'd have seen the workers working at your place. Catching them mid job and letting them know right away wouldn't result in unjust enrichment. Letting someone build a whole house on your property while you knew about it would be unjust enrichment.
There seems to be a mistake in the article, if you click on the linked article [0], it states the home was listed for $499,000. She bought the land for $22,500 and they claimed that they paid $300,000 for construction.

Wait, the lawyer said they were misdemeanors when they were really felonies? I would think even in that case the judge would be very clear someone was pleading guilty to a felony.

> Therefore some think it exceeded the NSA's authority, which is nil in Germany.

This is very false though. NSA absolutely has at least SOME authority to spy on Germany. Not just by American law but also Germany has provided the NSA with office space for up to 1,800 NSA employees to work in the town of Bad Aibling. Over the past two decades, the BND has helped the NSA spy on a variety of European targets, including German ones.

https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/the-german-bnd-...

> not following a countries law on their soil does not make it fair game, it makes it an illegal act.

This makes no sense. That would mean any country, including Russia and North Korea, could make the NSA’s routine, intended activites “illegal” simply by passing a law saying “its illegal to spy on us”. What then? Every form of spying by any country is suddenly illegal?

There was a recent case in the US where:

2. The defence attorney found out about it, and challenged the judge about it.

3. The judge demanded to know how the defence attorney found out.

4. When the defence attorney refused to say, the judge ordered the attorney to be jailed for contempt of court.

> It was a sad reminder that the justice system is still very much imperfect, and the outcome of many cases depends heavily on whether you have money to pay attorneys

I’m not sure that’s true. Prosecutors also throw far more resources into cases with expensive private attorneys.

I saw the end results of the process from the appellate side (where the facts are fully developed), and I know lots of public defenders. I think what you’re overlooking is that 99% of those people are facially guilty. The police and prosecutors are lazy, they don’t want to prosecute marginal cases that don’t have rock solid evidence. My wife defended a murder case where they had almost continuous CCTV video of the defendant shooting the victim and driving home to his house. Just one camera angle after the other. And that was a sufficiently exciting case to warrant her big firm getting involved pro bono.

I also see all these ACLU and Innocence Project mailings. Rarely do you see someone who isn’t guilty. Usually the case is about some legal technicality, or some principle such as whether teenagers should be prosecuted as adults or whether gang members involved in a fatal robbery should all be tried for murder when only one pulled the trigger.

So what you’re seeing is the system doing the best it can with this huge volume of obviously guilty people. The public defenders I know are all on the lookout for the rare defendant who might be innocent.
Per your morality perhaps. But morality is just an opinion, and one that can't be justified otherwise.

I should not be coerced not to enter a piece of land just because somebody made a contract with somebody who killed or evicted by force the people (and other animals) who previously inhabited the land. That would be immoral, right?
I'm pretty sure judges can reasonably find the difference between willfulness and accident (as the article states, multiple people who had no reason to help the builder missed the error) and decide accordingly.
I would disagree with the leech characterization. In an interview I watched, she talked about how she chose the property based on astrological alignment and her feelings when she was on this plot. She may be irrational but I think that's a perfectly valid reason to want to keep your own plot of land.
They forgot to mention the final speedup:

>The initial version of Sheets Wasm showed calculation performance roughly two times slower than JavaScript.

>[...]

>Implementing speculative inlining and devirtualization—two very common optimizations—sped up calculation time by roughly 40% in Chrome.

So the only numbers we get are 2x slowdown and the 1.4x speedup, which makes it sound like it's still slower. I'm sure thats probably not the case but it is a strange way to write an article advertising wasm.

Also, I'm a bit confused about which language this was actually written in before the wasm switch. Was it always written in Java and transpiled to JS? It doesn't seem that way from the article:

>Removing JavaScript-specific coding patterns.

>they had a core data structure in Sheets which was blurring the lines between arrays and maps. This is efficient in JavaScript

which doesn't make sense if they were writing it in Java and transpiling to JS.

Was it transpiled to JS only once in 2013 and then developed in JS from there? In which case why go back to Java?

Well, there is being an asshole when immediately being understood is critical/important (i.e., we're cooking here, skip the niceties--I think this actually increases trust and honest communication) and then there is being an asshole because you're a cranky old fart who doesn't know any other way to communicate and/or enjoys exploiting others by making them uncomfortable.

For what it's worth there seems to be a massive fuck up in the linked article. If you look at the original story, it lists the house as $500,000 and not $5 million. The land itself was bought for $22k in 2018
I imagine some of the people involved would indeed prefer a trial before all the evidence has been unearthed, even though that worked out so badly for their victims.

Yeah agree. The objective was more to make a physics toy that would run on single core on a phone than something for actual scientific or industrial use. I could add additional iterations or do pressure projection but then there would be complaints about it being slow & choppy.

There are also some large density ratios between the materials which further increased the difficulty, and would also increase the number of pressure projection iterations on a grid. I tried to simulate buoyancy without cheating (e.g. giving different materials different acceleration to gravity)

This article’s details are good, but I found the argumentative route misleading: the specific example they chose wouldn’t have been improved by bid-design, since the whole problem with NYC’s gas and steam networks is that they’re (1) undocumented, (2) critical infrastructure that can’t be disrupted, and (3) regularly responsible for mass casualty events when the city doesn’t gingerly fix them via independent projects. (1), importantly, means that the city doesn’t even know who else to bring to the table until they break ground and see what’s below the streets.

The area they chose to highlight typifies this: that part of the East Side uses the steam network for hospital disinfection, and had a massive, deadly, costly stream explosion within living memory[1].

The city absolutely does need better contracting processes. But the parks, MTA, public housing, schools, etc. are all better examples than the one they chose.

The UK legal system (in all its nations) is very much a broken and unfair one where power alone decides your guilt through abuse of procedure.

These were private companies doing the work. The article argues that the problem was that the private company who is doing the construction is on a cost-plus contract and is different from the private company who designed the project, so the construction company has no ownership of the problems and no incentive to get it done.

As far as private infrastructure, I don't see how that would make much of a difference here, other than that a private company would probably have a harder time with permits to dig up the street on and off for 8 years.

which leads to another problem, if we can't supply them, we need to reinvent our court system to become more realistic for people to defend their own case without having to worry about the nitpicks of "oh you didn't just say that did you now you're in more trouble you should have had a lawyer"

laws aren't difficult to read nor understand, its however very tedious to make sure you're not missing something important from some chapter of a book you were unaware of. understanding the history of how cases TEND to be prosecuted and dealt with is another whole cultural side of things that are just not obvious to the layman. and this kind of information can and should be more accessible to people currently being processed through the system

Show HN: Create autonomous bounties and prize contests
Hey folks,

I built Credos.ai, a tool that lets you create autonomous or semi-autonomous bounties and contests for almost anything through the power of generative AI.

If you've ever tried to run a contest or bounty, you know how much manual work goes into it. From collecting all the submissions to checking them for eligibility, then judging the eligible entries to select a winner, and finally contacting the winner to get their payment information before sending the payment over.

We're building a platform that automates 99% of this. Just create your bounty/contest, tell us the eligibility criteria, decide if you want the AI to operate completely autonomously or require your input for winner selection, and then deposit the cash prize. You can sit back and relax while the AI does all the manual work of vetting the eligible entries. Eventually, we want the AI to also rank them based on your criteria.

The cool thing about autonomous bounties is that they enable a whole new level of low-trust competitive scenarios since the money is deposited and will be paid out if the eligibility is met, without human intervention and bias. I'm excited to see more competitive contests between people on opposite sides!

https://www.credos.ai
And that's why I hate the "they're paid more because they have more responsibility" when responsibility is just a farce.

Get everyone from the bottom to the top (who were responsible for their people) and dish out prison sentence. Just add from bottom to top: someone hid some data? 2 years. Their manager? How many people under them got sentenced? 4 then that's 8 years for mister "I got responsibilities". Go up the chain to the top decider.
That's just another example why we can't remain urbanized in the modern era. In the past there was no choice, now we can choose and meanwhile tech evolution have pushed the needs of so much infra that being dense instead of costing LESS than being spread it cost more.

Nowadays a MODERN a big apartments complex cost more than an equivalent of single families homes per unit (HVAC, seismic, fire-safety, ... costs) and while single family homes can evolve (a single owner, a single family to relocate for rebuilding when (not if) needed, a bit of ground to actually work around without creating traffic nightmares and so on) big condos, towers etc practically can't.

It's time to recalculate the narrative "being dense cost less". The reality is that cost much more and can only substantially evolve being totally rebuild, so practically can't substantially evolve. Big dense cities are needed only for finance capitalism, but we can't sustain them, nor humanly, nor technically nor environmentally.
Hi Vessenes

From Cerebrium here. Really appreciate the feedback - glad you had a good experience!

This application is easy to extend/implement meaning you can edit it to however you like:
- Swap in different LLM's, STT and TTS models
- Change prompts as well as implement RAG etc

In partnership with Daily, we really wanted to focus on the engineer here. So make it extremely flexible for them to edit the application to suit their use case/preference while at the same time take away the mundane infrastructure setup.

You can read more about how to extend it here: https://docs.cerebrium.ai/v4/examples/realtime-voice-agents
