ok does it mean an end to email? it's nearly free to send emails to anyone. for comparison, it's much more expensive to send linkedin messages or create ads on social networks. did anyone attempt to create a paid email service (pay to send)?
I think you messed up your "A reminds me of B" structure, or at least I don't get what you are saying, and why.

Anyways. LLM is a program created by supercomputers to be deceptive.

Also it took away the aspect of life that people around the world could cold email each other if their hobbies align.

And in general, now the percentage of potential bad actors went from near 0 to near 100.

And for why? .. ..
Vim9script is already compiled (which is why it’s much faster), so there’s no need to go via Lua if you’re on ”normal” Vim :)
.. I still think the world should just put a cap on chip power. Stop producing new chips, and make it illegal to own powerful chips. I think it is

a) doable
b) the right solution.

(And eventually start producing very weak chips, that can run your business and accounting on a TUI.)
A turing machine rule can only:

- set the current cell’s value

- move by one cell

- switch to the next rule (or halt)

(A TM rule has one sub-rule for each valid value / symbol)

Turing machines are characterised by the number of values (or symbols) and the number of rules (or states) (and technically the number of directions but TMs are generally one-dimensional). The Busy Beaver game fixes the number of symbols to 2, and only varies the number of states e.g. BB(3) is played on 3-states 2-symbols turing machines.

Thus the number of possible rules in BB(n) (n-states 2 symbols turing machine) is necessarily limited, to (4n + 4)^2n.
I work in Arizona, and some of our software calls APIs on a server hosted in California. The California server expects timestamps in requests to be in Pacific time, with no timezone in the timestamp, and expects them to conform to daylight savings rules.

This gets very hard to reason about because Arizona doesn't _do_ daylight savings. Like, what happens when we request 24 hours of data from them, on the day daylight savings time flips over? Do we want midnight-to-midnight data, or do we actually want 24 hours of data, which might wind up timestamped differently since there's a duplicate 2AM one day and a missing 2AM another day.

A few years ago we had a contractor write some extremely messy code to handle cases like that, and soon it's going to be my job to try and refactor it into something readable.
First major improvement to the bound since 1940. Many other things can now be improved as a result, that depended on the earlier bound.
Imagine what a Dyson sphere is going to do to the lunar orbit around Earth.
It would be best to also change the text then, not just the link. The text could read "Install the app and play now" when the link is changed to point to the play store.
> VC pouring money in LLM infra is legitimately crazy to me.

VC business model is throwing money at the wall and seeing what sticks. They love congratulating themselves on how smart they are but at the end of the day their overall returns trail S&P 500. They are salespeople and their job is to sell themselves to private capital on how smart and connected they are.
I don't think the fee is a problem unless the 'top scientists' are actually juniors grinding mundane lab tasks.

The real issue is the symbolism where people don't feel welcome I guess.
I'd agree it's odd - it wasn't called Australia until (well) after the Europeans arrived.

But it does make sense. In the place we now call Australia, they were here First. We could even use First Nations as the Canadians do; there were things we would (now, belatedly, apologetically) recognise as nations here before we butchered them all and made a mess of their civilisation.

Sidenote to your sidenote: I like the thing that we're doing now of calling Perth by it's Noongar name: Boorloo. More of this, please, Australia.
As a German who lived a prolonged time abroad, I might have a perspective. I wasn't actually aware that I would be forced to use Fritz products here, but they certainly seem omnipresent. My 7530AX performs actually flawless, no complaints there. I wished it would offer more functionality, e.g. NFS, ability to force some clients to use either 2.4 or 5GHz (to circumvent a current bug in the Nokia G20) or make it easier to upload Linux on them, but I wouldn't call it a bad product. I'd rather give it 4 out of 5 stars. I liked my Linksys WRT54GL, but that was very dated (too slow to exploit the 50Mbps connection to the Internet and no 5GHz) when I finally left it behind during the last move. The Dlink product (713p?) I used (much) earlier was poor, with buggy firmware not supported or maintained by the manufacturer after sale.

Dropping Internet connections which are fixed by a restart sounds to me like a marginal connection (the restart forces a re-learn of DSL parameters). The Fritz box should be able to diagnose that.

In my humble opinion, a chat interface (API or not) does not a product make. Not to mention that Llama is free and competitive with both (same with Mistral, heck the 7B model works great on my RTX 3080). If you started a company that blew up because you made a badass product (and let's say you used ChatGPT under the hood), you would just eventually train and deploy your own model because an LLM is not a product.
Perhaps this will finally usher in the era of actually decoupling what is said from who said it (post post colonialism?)
The last time I genuinely discovered a product on PH was 2018 (Coda). I subscribed for a while, but didn't see much since then. I think this is the common experience. Since then, lots of top stuff have been waitlist because people are using product hunt launches to validate demand now.

PH is basically a social media for selling stuff. It's a community for selling stuff. It's for the people who want to say, "hey vote for me on product hunt, I need your support!" It's something like LinkedIn. More effective than using X or getting on a podcast. There's probably better ways to market, but it works for people who aren't good at marketing.

I think the Golden Kitty awards has some value, though. Could probably end up like the GRAMMYs for product or something.
Sorry but as a layman high-school educated guy, GP's explanation was a lot easier to follow with it having a "natural" real-life example
> It's really not a big deal.

Unless, of course, you are a satellite.
I used to be a fan of the Sublime tools. But the complete lack of updates over a reasonable timescale have led me to move on to more supported platforms. I like the concept of a small team of developers providing a good tool. But the reality often means that you don't see any worthwhile upgrades. And I realize I'm commenting on HN, a place where the majority of people seem to have abandoned the hacker spirit and leaned more into curmudgeon aesthetics instead. The general sentiment here seems to be far more of don't try to innovate. Just do what we expect you to in the way we expect you to which matches how we would have built this tool 20 years ago.

> Cloud? Why? You can literally do anything on a VPS with Postgres!

> AI? Not on my watch! I can't imagine a tool that does more than VIM two decades ago!

> Javascript?! What a shit language. Everything should be written in Java or C++.
It's all fun and games until HR use AI to write your annual performance review in which it is suggested that you got fired for sexual misconduct (this hallucinated from other guy's HR files), won a sales bonus for selling AI to your company (it was the other way round and it's the sales guy who got it), and are due to enter retirement (you are 29, but most of the company is over 50, so the probabilistic model prefers that passage of text).

"Some voting" is not good enough. "Signing some treaties" is also not good enough.

The only way people are going to respect some arrangement is if they believe it's good for them. Russians now believe "some voting" they had forced on them was catastrophic and "some treaties" are fundamentally unfair to them.

The geopolitics of Crimea are questionable. Black Sea Fleet turned out to be glass cannon of questionable utility. It's mostly about popular wishes and not about pragmatics. Before 2014, Putin was swimming in cash yet his approval ratings were Bidenesque.
I have been building [GabrielAI](https://getgabrielai.com) also for address the too much spam in Gmail use case.

Specifically smart filter to remove SPAM in a smarter way.

Most people get a lot of spam from sales agents, SEO services, start-up accelerator, etc...

With GabrielAI you can say stuff like:

"If the email is from a SEO agency or it is trying to sell me SEO service"

Then move it to SPAM.

Similarly for all other type of spam or emails.

You can also move stuff to different labels in Gmail to organise your inbox.
Sometimes I have wondered is there proper write up of how messy intragalactic or intergalactic communications and time keeping would be. With or without FTL communication... Relativistic effects could actually be significant. Not to mention different rotation rates, day lengths, month lengths and so on...

Leap seconds are comparatively simple problem...
I just tried to get a time in the TAI timezone via my programming language and it doesn't exist. Not a very useful timezone.
I won't add to the AI debate already well expressed by other commenters but one thing i don't understand is why the author has posted the name of the "spammed" product and a direct link to their blog: consider how much did he helped them having new traffic and potential customers
I enjoyed that video, thanks for sharing!
For me these concept seem intuitively linked, simply because derivation measures the rate of change, and that compounding definition aims to find the compounding function with constant growth. The factorial definition only seems to make for an easier proof of the derivation of e^x.
I checked it a couple days ago, it was working fine. It wasn't working tonight but suddenly is now.
I like cloud, AI, and Javascript - and I’m not ashamed!

Farage can only theoretically be elected; in practice, he's never even won his own seat, and his party has had a high of one (out of 650) constituencies, but even that was as a result of someone defecting from a different party.

I'm not even sure if he made a difference about Brexit vs. Johnson.
This proposition still fits inside a "line goes up" vision, and it can't go up forever.

More nuclear doesn't come without additional risk nor cost, nor waste. I don't claim to have a solution, but it feels like jumping into a volcano to escape from the bear. There sure must be some way to deal with the bear instead.
Not if they're trying to sell me something...
I think Kling's response to the PR is unprofessional. However, there is no reason to start spamming the issue, after three years. Is that the drama?

My conclusion is to continue avoiding sites like X and the so-called "Fediverse".
Agreed. Even if right now this seems like stuff companies want to throw money at for novelty/FOMO related reasons, I think eventually reality ought to catch up.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think the most efficient companies of the future will tackle the ironies of automation effectively: Carefully designing semi automation that keeps humans in the loop in a way that maximises their value - as opposed to just being bored rubber stamping the automation without really paying attention.
What happens when Americans kill civilians in other countries in millions?

What about the time Amiricans topple governments?

What about unnecessarily starting an war with ukrine as proxy?

News shifts the viewpoint.
HN calls that whataboutism.

Americans murdered natives, destroyed world peace and talks about "west".
For Google's use case the sun is always shining somewhere. It might not be practical or realistic yet, but if they really wanted to they could.
IT outsourcing is integrating multiple ways into businesses through which they can digitally transform themselves. Now, the question could be what are these ways? See, when we discuss IT outsourcing, it comes out as an umbrella term, which means it is not only restricted to web development, any specific software development, or any technology-specific services rather it consists of all the services that can provide a competitive edge to business in this fast-paced world. IT outsourcing is a strategic practice that helps businesses achieve smooth growth in their work.
It means the "cooky" ideas of OPML/RSS two-way communication channels may have to be revisited. The problem is the humans, though. Even the most private communication channels will be breached by the one idiot who uses AI to "fix grammar". AI peddlers managed to inject themselves into the conversations we are having. It's really not good for the humanity as a whole.
> If someone manages to generate a letter that I actually find useful and interesting

But that's inconsistent with the example you put forward. For the email to be interesting a human would need to research and approach every prospect independently, how many emails a day they can do? 5, 10, 20, 100?

It's simply not possible for a human to generate 100,000 personalized email by hand. That's the difference.
What was bugging you about the UI?

> Hey Raymond,

Thank you so much for your kind words about my post on revamping my homelab! It’s always a pleasure to hear from someone who appreciates the journey of continuous improvement. Your message truly brightened my day.

Indeed, using Deno Fresh for my blog has been an exciting adventure. The process of managing updates and deployments, while sometimes challenging, has been incredibly rewarding. It’s like tending to a garden, where each update is a new seed planted, and every deployment is a blossom of progress. The satisfaction of seeing everything come together is unparalleled.

Your introduction of Wisp has certainly piqued my interest. A CMS that simplifies content management sounds like a dream come true, especially for someone like me who is always looking for ways to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. The name “Wisp” itself evokes a sense of lightness and ease, which is exactly what one hopes for in a content management system.

I would love to learn more about Wisp and how it could potentially fit into my workflow. The idea of having a tool that can make content management more intuitive and less time-consuming is very appealing. Could you share more details about its features and how it stands out from other CMS options? I’m particularly interested in how it handles updates and deployments, as these are crucial aspects for me.

Thank you again for reaching out and for thinking of me. I’m looking forward to hearing more about Wisp and exploring the possibilities it offers. Let’s continue this conversation and see where it leads!

Best regards, Tim
That’s not accurate. If your email is on your website, of course they can email you. If what you said was true in absolute terms, communication would be impossible.
Once you start adding Google, you'll inevitably be forced to support apple sign in and all the others.

In my past job, we couldn't be bothered with all these big tech politics, so we actually disabled all the third party signups. We would require phone numbers because our value proposition was validating that users were real and easier to ban. Apple was not happy with this and their Apple sign ups allowed more anonymity, just a pain overall. We couldn't enable the others on Android either, because they'd be able to sign up with FB on a Samsung then can't do it on an iPhone, and that was just messy.
What do you like better about lazygit than Sublime Merge?
It's both, but bug makes more sense.
Why does the author claim that Adept was acquired by Amazon? The linked article says they hired away the CEO and key staff.
if there's no climate, there's no climate problems.

Maybe AI is already sentient, and instead of nuking the world they just trick people to think they are not sentient, so people train more neural networks and destroy the planet themselves ;D.

On a more serious note:
"propel climate solutions" is a weird take for me regarding AI considering the resources used.

I'm not sure though: Do you think google search and all the infrastructure/servers required for it, will use more power etc. than an AI, including its training/retraining periodically and infra needed to host it as a service for people?

I'd be interested to see for example if there is any improvement at all, if you would 'swap google search for chatgpt' - i know this is not realistic or even its purpose, but it's what a lot of laymen will interpret the GPT stuf as i guess.

Would we use less energy etc. if we'd switch the legacy stuff like google search to more modern AI based apporaches?

Now in the time of transition, we're screwed and power consumption would in my mind logically double or more, as we need to run these things side-by-side to develop AI to make it useful.
So you expect (and trust) the journal to do all the typesetting for you?

At some point, someone has to convert your Markdown to LaTeX and properly typeset it.

Beyond that, how do you handle equations? I assume you embed LaTeX in your Markdown for that. How do you handle references? Do you use a BibTeX extension for Markdown?

In the end, I doubt that your setup is much simpler than just loading the LaTeX template for whatever journal you're submitting to, and adding your content.

Lol, yeah, the main deterrent/obstacle to indie game dev has little to do with actual development, and machine generated content is actively making that worse.

Actually this is kinda a great idea. Honeypot the bots by engaging them with other bots. Would love to deploy this on telemarketers / spam calls.
Define ‘impact’. Does ‘impact’ here mean ‘tickles the fancy of a 2024-era VC’? If so, you may be right. If used in its common meaning, absolutely not; most of this stuff is ~useless.
What is a reasonable timescale? They last released an update for Sublime Merge in April. What features are you missing that they haven't added? What bugs are present that need to be fixed?
It already takes longer to build new nuclear starting now than build enough renewable + batteries + transmission starting now. So good news! We don't have to "get there soon", we are there already! We have everything we need except the political will to take resources away from fossil fuels and invest them towards a clean energy future.

Nuclear will continue to be built and it should but it is not the thing we need to focus heavily on.
> not sure how state tax levels relate to this discussion

Expenditure is a good proxy for government size. Point is, when you look at what Texas does versus how it’s portrayed, this action is very much in sticking with their principles.
That can't be it: You had a lot to eat.
Same. I’ve been using it a while and I enjoy it a lot. I have to admit that I haven’t purchased it yet because $100 is hard to justify with so many perfectly good free alternatives, but if it was cheaper I definitely would.
I've worked with hortonworks, cloudera, and databricks. It's no surprise at all that databricks is killing the competition. Those other companies products were embarrassingly terrible. Not stable, slow, and worst of all, I had instances of wrong results. The software just wasn't good.

Databricks is different, it's fast, it's robust, I trust the results. They just built a good quality product.
can't really credit archaeo-guesswork that ignores the significant factor of their far superior intelligence compared to pet dogs.
Isn't this pretty much one of the proposed new concepts for online dating? ;-)
Are you aiming for 100% compatibility with modern web standards or are you aiming for some sensible subset of it?

It seems to me that a large volume of code in Blink deals with obscure features with relatively niche use cases (such as WebRTC, WebUSB,WebGL, WebAudio and so on and so forth), which would mean a large amount of programmer effort for very little user-facing gain.

Additionally, in these areas, web standards tend to say 'whatever Chrome does', with FF often lifting large parts of Chrome code to support these features. Even if the above wasn't true, in practicality it is, since all clients are tested against Chrome, you'd need to follow all its quirks to have your browser be compatible.

Are you planning to do a clean room implementation of these features as well?
there is a lot of consumer surplus, but it’s very unclear if any one of these companies will be able to capture it. Especially if mostly good enough commodity LLMs like Llama 70b are in the mix.

Where is the differentiation?
I will never forget the Ghost of Kiev nonsense.

As an American, I wish we’d stay out of the Ukraine war. The Ukrainians have actual Nazis. And no, that isn’t “propaganda.” The Russians were wrong to invade but the Ukrainians aren’t any more righteous.

But it isn’t my problem — tens of billions of American tax dollars are going to Ukraine with no accountability. In the U.S., open borders policies have led to the rape and murder of a 12 year old girl in Houston, along with many other high profile violent murders by illegal aliens who should have been blocked from entry and deported.

Trump wanted $5 billion for a border wall — Democrats said “we can’t afford that” — and then promptly send $100 billion to Ukraine when Biden’s elected.

I am not arguing for a border wall, but it’s curious how “we can’t afford it” but found plenty of billions to support a country with whom Biden has a financial history.
The profound quickness with which the left wing in the U.S. started displaying Ukrainian flags and hashtags ought to be studied. The Ukraine propaganda machine took American money and spends it to convince Americans to give more money. Astounding how clever that was.

Ukraine can’t win this war and I’m tired of paying for it. If they want to keep fighting, then they can keep funding it.
Oh nice, super helpful. For me being able to filter by countries that are part of the VAT OSS scheme, since many of us running SME’s submit the tax manually, and it’s helpful to have a SSOT for the VAT OSS rates.
