Whichever model works better for your use. It's hard to know without testing it at the moment.

I've found Gemini to be better at some use-cases, and GPT-4 better at others for my specific taste and use-case. You can kind of go by the benchmark scores to have an idea if it's good at logic, creativity, etc.

Why doesn't HN allow to delete our posts?
I've noticed that HN is pretty much the odd and unique one out here. Almost every major social network I know let's you delete or edit even a five or ten year old post. But HN posts are like carved in the stone and Frozen in time?

Whatever maybe the motivations for it, it's a bit authoritarian in the sense that the user isn't in control of her own data. Pretty sure RMS wouldn't like it even though it checks most of the other GNU boxes I think!
I like Zulip. I'm only in one server, which is the community server for my favorite indie programming language. When we migrated to Zulip it didn't have syntax highlighting for our language. So we made PRs to Pygments and now a couple months later our language is supported in Zulip code blocks! I cannot imagine that happening so smoothly with Slack or Teams.

I think the organizational decision to make a "thread" mandatory for all messages is brilliant. It sounds like a small change, but that one difference makes it SO easy to get caught up on the "goings on" in a Zulip server. You can look at just an individual thread, or look at a full chronological stream of messages as they came in regardless of thread. But when you look at the chronological feed all messages are still tagged with their thread title, so it's not disorienting.
Ask HN: How to train a Generative AI model which converts texts to 3D meshes?
Hi, I am working on a generative game, in which the story is developed as the user goes, this will enable the user to create infinite story lines which can be played in an interactive world. But currently the problem is along with the stories we also need to show the graphics and the animations, which needs to be built at runtime for it to look really immersive.
Are there any models which can convert text to 3D meshes or objects and create some animations which are really at par. or if anyone is working on this project how are you doing it? we really need this model to make the thing we are making not look like shit. Thanks.
IS it cheaper? Better, maybe, depending on the restaurant. But I can’t see how it’s cheaper when you have to hire and insure drivers, manage shifts, deal with delivery areas, fuel costs, more accounting, etc etc.

Also I live in a pretty good sized city of about 350k in our metro area, and before these delivery services only the national pizza places delivered. When I moved here from a larger city I was shocked there wasn’t a single Chinese delivery place. So I’m thinking that the costs and management were just too high.

The right model might be the Waiter on the Way model, which hires regular drivers but can offer the service turnkey. But there needs to be more of those, and there doesn’t seem to be for some reason.
Would sending out an electron beam move the space station?
There are lots of subtle ways carriers can punish unlocked phones. I tried using an unlocked Samsung flagship with a Verizon MVNO and it never worked properly. They even told me that various features wouldn't work such as Wi-Fi calling. Had to go with the main carrier anyway, so I might as had a locked phone. If the FCC pursues this rule they need to cover all the loopholes and even then it will probably be years of malicious compliance like we're seeing from Apple in the EU app store ruling.
Just out of curiosity, what domain were you working in where "0.0" and "no opinion" were _always_ the same thing? The lack of optionals has infuriated me for years and I just can't form a mental model of how anybody ever found this acceptable to work with.
We definitely need a term, more accurate than source-available, that describes software whose usage and improvements can only orbit in non-commercial space.

How do you keep it from tumbling out of control or into the station every time it takes a hit? All that energy has to go somewhere if you catch it.
California was among the first to include driver's license numbers among personal information. The earliest I can find for my state is 2019. I'd not be surprised if some double standards continue to exist where the DMV itself is selling your personal information.

> 2. Driver's license number or California Identification Card number.

My suspicion is that the reason the battery is so abysmal is because you cannot turn off the backlight entirely. Indefencible design decision that just eats your battery.

No, these are prepaid phones. They're just betting on you staying with the prepaid carrier since they're locked.

Hot take: CarPlay is trash.

- If you don't have wireless CarPlay, you need to plug your phone in. CarPlay is super finicky about cables.

- If you do, you're at the mercy of the head unit not crapping out on you

- I've had CarPlay fail to update my GPS location multiple times, where unplugging and plugging back in is the only solution.

Go's GC wasn't really made with throughput maximization in mind. It's a language that doesn't scale that well to take advantage of beefy nodes and has weak compiler. I suppose the Google's vision for it is to "crank the replica count up". gRPC servers based on top of ASP.NET Core, Java Vert.X and Rust Thruster will provide you with much higher throughput on multi-core nodes.

So I don't get it why the bakeries didn't go for the "may contain" wording to start with. I guess one was the first to use "does contain" and then purposefully added sesame, everyone else thought that was particularly "clever" and copied it?
Story has two sides to it. On one, you have a faith-based private school built on a native reservation with the explicit purpose of being as bigoted as possible toward the people living there, which is horrible, but on par for the behavior of such organizations. On the other, you have natives who continue to send their children to that school despite generations of this pattern because of better educational outcomes than the U.S. federal public school.

There are a few possible calls to action here. You're not going to convince the ministry to change their outlook -- you might as well ask an alligator to stop eating meat. As a religious organization they are exempt from many laws that would get government or corporate groups in trouble, particularly if the families signed a paper to enroll their kids. It comes down to biting the bullet and playing along with the school's BS, or biting the other bullet and seeking alternative educational providers. It would be great if as a community they could find their own path to creating better public schools (having the freedom to build casinos provides a readily-available revenue stream, if you can solve the leadership corruption issue), but failing that, I guess the U.S. federal government could throw more money at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

I can emphasize with the kids because I grew up atheist in an overwhelmingly Mormon backwoods town, where I was the "devil worshiper" and treated like garbage for it. On the other hand, the families have alternatives available to them. If the alternatives suck, they should look into how to make them better.
In the summer of 2004 I was enjoying the mountainous view and ample sun of Kandahar, Afghanistan. It was there, eating one of my allotted MREs, that I noticed the MRE heater was printed in large letters "Do not expose to flame." Being a bored jarhead, I couldn't help but try and figure out why. Being able to rub a few brain cells together, I thought about how the heaters are activated by the addition of water. Since water is hydrogen and oxygen, I was willing to bet that those were some of the reaction products. I never bothered to look it up, but I did find that whatever was coming out with the steam was also quite flammable.

Once that was proven, I recalled that recently a contractor had dug a well near our work site. I ambled over and found a 3 foot long, ~3 inch diameter steel pipe that had a 90 degree elbow with a quick release cap.
All that was required after that was a touch hole, added with a drill, some MRE heaters, and projectiles.

Potatoes were not available there, but fruit like oranges and pears were. I started with an orange and just jammed it into the very end of the barrel, it was too big to go all the way in, and went for it. The distance was laughable, 1 or 2 feet, but the sound? Everyone came running out of the work center tents because they thought I had just loosed a round from my weapon.

After being called an idiot by the local Lieutenant, I switch to only pears, which were easy to jam in hard enough to cut the excess off.
At this point, I was lobbing pears across the perimeter road, into the scrub / minefield outside the wire. Never found a mine with it though.

All my fun ended one faithful day when I accidentally dropped a pear in front of a Romanian MP truck on patrol around the perimeter. The 50 cal on top turned to point at me, I dropped the pear cannon and walked away, never to return.
That seems to be the problem. New regulations [0] would require expensive measures to prevent cross-contamination if your label says that your product carries a risk of cross-contamination.

But it's not "contamination" if it's an ingredient, so if one thing in your factory has sesame in it, you're better off adding a tiny bit of sesame to everything else than you would be scouring the whole line between products.

Presumably the business folks have run the numbers, and you stand to lose less by losing the sesame-sensitive market than you would stand to gain by making everything verifiably sesame-free. For that matter, your sesame-sensitive folks probably are avoiding the product anyway if it "may contain traces," right?

At the energies needed to power a magnetic shield, and the precision needed to tag hipersonic debris with an electron beam, why not vaporize/deflect them with lasers instead?
I thought this was the right call. It reminded me a lot about the arbitration requirement that a lot of employers and companies force people into.

The SEC can bring an accusation against someone, no question, but then to require them to go through the internal administrative process without judicial recourse, just seemed wrong. It's unfair. In the same way that would be unfair to say that you can't sue your employer, you have to go through arbitration.

Both forced arbitration and federal in-house courts have the same goal: to stack the deck against the person at question.
I would love this. However I imagine what most people won't really think about is that if you buy a phone on say AT&t, and then you just decide to stop making payments they can just remotely brick it.

It's going to be really interesting to see how prepaid carriers cope with this. For example you can buy a fully . For example you can buy a fully . For example you can buy a phone much cheaper if it's locked to MetroPCS or another prepaid provider. Since technically you've bought the phone, them bricking it becomes a lot harder to justify.
I have some concerns about what our farmers are doing to our fruit and vegetables as well.
But now you know of the violation! Don't you want to remind Colin of the rule now? Or maybe the rule isn't actually that important, for the reasons in my last comment, and you were just looking for a reason to make your criticism of my six-year-old/8-year-old comment more authoritative?
How are 'hallucinations' a phenomenon? I have trouble with the term 'hallucination' and believe it sets the wrong narratuve. It suggests something negative or unexpected, which it absolutely is not. Language models aim at, as their name implies, modeling language. Not facts or anything alike. This is per design and you certainly don't have to be an AI researcher to grasp that.

That being said, people new to the field tend to believe that these models are fact machines. In fact, they are the complete opposite.
This is about sesame. Last year or so, the FDA changed the rules about sesame as an allergen. Some bakeries then decided to just slap "may contain traces of sesame" on everything so they didn't have to pay the cost of actually ensuring there's no cross-contamination.

This has significantly harmed consumers who are actually allergic to sesame. Now there's effectively no way to know if a baked product will actually contain sesame, so you either get to eat nothing or take the chance.

It was a clear and flagrant abuse of the "may contain traces" mechanism. The bakeries caused harm for consumers as a way to avoid the coats of doing business safely.
Do other countries get subsidised phones with a phone plan?
Also exists some chemistry, which make air conductive at much less voltage.

Also exists tricky schemes, where something very similar to AM radio transmitter, made air closer to ignition, and then need much less voltage to make plasma.
Collateral has two functions:

1. Incentivize the borrower to continue paying so as to not lose the collateral.

2. Allow the lender to recover some of the value of the loan.

A locked phone serves the first purpose because the lender can disable its primary function.
Exactly the kind of thing the FDA has a problem with:

> "Because it can be difficult and expensive to keep sesame in one part of a baking plant out of another, some companies began adding small amounts of sesame to products that didn't previously contain the ingredient to avoid liability and cost. FDA officials said that violated the spirit, but not the letter, of federal regulations."

It seems that they prefer the "may contain" wording:

> FDA officials acknowledged Tuesday that statements that a product “may contain” certain allergens “could be considered truthful and not misleading.”

As a consumer, I'd much rather know for sure if a food has something in it that could kill me in it. If companies really want add allergens to their products unnecessarily, disclose that unambiguously, and limit their pool of potential customers that seems better to me than companies just slapping on a label saying that the product might contain every possible deadly allergen and letting customers take their chances or avoid them entirely.
It's closer to:

FDA orders bakers to list allergens. There are stiff penalties if you are allergenic but don't list the allergen.

So? Bakers look at their production processes and determine there's a chance that enough allergens get into the product due to cross contamination to list it on the label, just in case.

FDA doesn't like it. They expect the bakers to fix their cross-contamination issues at great expense to themselves.

So? Bakers add allergens on purpose, so they can rightly claim it contains them. It's cheaper than setting up a clean room for every product line.

FDA doesn't like it.
Probably because of some idea of accountability. I'm sure they have everything linked with IP addresses, and if someone had that data, they could probably trace it back to an actual person.
All he has to do is show Spirit retaliated and Boeing is immediately implicated. "Because Mr. Cuevas served as a contractor for Spirit and subcontractor for Boeing and was directly employed by Strom, the Companies are liable for his retaliatory discharge under AIR21."

The complaint is against Boeing (they're literally listed under the "v" section) so its completely reasonable for somebody to report these documents as a complain by a new whistleblower against boeing.

Objectively, opioids are prescribed much less often outside the US.

Subjectively, I got four wisdom teeth extracted in two sessions of two extractions each. Both times I only needed generic acetaminophen to manage the pain.

Perhaps an US surgeon have insisted on doing it all in one session, in which case I would have found the pain and discomfort intolerable and opioids would have made more sense.

In any case, they should probably figure out why their patients are in more pain than the patients of foreign surgeons and fix that. It could be something silly like them being less gentle during surgery because they are used to their patients being on opioids.

You're right, that's a better example. But wouldn't you expect the mechanic to have a more discerning eye in that case as well? The more contextual knowledge you have, the better you should be able to tell legitimate claims from BS.
Just great, even more risk of debris.
As a staff engineer with team lead responsibilities I would love to be able to attain that kind of flow. Unfortunately, a lot of my job is liaising with product managers and making sure the team is focused on the right things or writing and reviewing documents.

This work needs to be done but it doesn’t leave me much time to get into coding things and thus I would score very low on that productivity measure because I’m hardly ever in the inner loop.

This seems overkill. We should want to encourage food manufacturers to list all possible contaminants.
> the hallucination phenomena

There isn't really such thing as a "hallucination" and honestly I think people should be using the word less. Whether an LLM tells you the sky is blue or the sky is purple, it's not doing anything different. It's just spitting out a sequence of characters it was trained be hopefully what a user wants. There is no definable failure state you can call a "hallucination," it's operating as correctly as any other output. But sometimes we can tell either immediately or through fact checking it spat out a string of text that claims something incorrect.

If you start asking an LLM for political takes, you'll get very different answers from humans about which ones are "hallucinations"
They are welcome to do so, but not on company time. We do not find those tools useful at all, because we are generally hired to write new stuff and ChatGPT or other tools are useless when there are no good examples to steal from (e.g. darker corners of AWS that people don't bother to offer solutions for) or when there is a known bug or there are only partial workarounds available for it.

For a $200 discount I had to deal with the RedPocket 1yr lock. Sort of worth it, but the "are you sure you really want to unlock" and "why do you want to unlock?" questions from the customer service were really annoying. If you pay the $, the phone should be yours.

Focal is a pomodoro web app. I know there's a lot of productivity apps already, but I'm releasing this since I figure someone might find it useful.

For CF DNS I find 1.0.0.1 generally to work better, too many systems in past used 1.1.1.1 as a magic value.
The problem is you need a lot of fuel and delta-v for that. IMO lasers is a much better solution.

High-power thermal laser ablates a key portion of the space-junk to slightly change its trajectory and preferably help deorbit it. All you need is energy since the reaction-mass comes from the space-junk itself.

Maybe you could combine the ideas and instead of ablating to deorbit, you modify the space-junk orbits to collide with a large aerogel satellite. You could potentially even boost it in the process.
In the end we the customers will foot the bill, no matter how the game is rigged.
