How to break self-deprecating AI's use of web content crew?
GenAI is self-deprecating in that it undermines the creation of very web content it trains on by reducing traffic to content sources (reduced click throughs, ad revenue), this deincentivizing creation of new web content. Content creators have almost zero control over how AI accesses or uses their content. Many are reacting by blocking AI crawlers (whether that is effective or not is another question.)

The one off deals going on between AI companies and big content creators aren’t sustainable especially for small businesses.

I found this https://mutaible.com/ that hints are creating an alternative but seems non-trivial. Thoughts?
Also smoking was once both popular and everywhere. At least smokers enjoy it, I'm not sure anyone "enjoys" using git.
That's interesting, but aren't you concerned about using a proprietary service for this? I would hesitate to be at the mercy of a corporation for such a personal workflow.
I feel like one of the major benefits of using Scheme is how easy it is to interoperate with just about any environment. Want to embed Scheme in your C application? Take your pick from GNU Guile, Chibi, Gambit, or Chicken. How about the JVM? Kawa is solid, option. .NET? IronScheme has got you covered. Javascript? There is LIPS or BiwaScheme.
Ah, thank you! That makes sense.
> but sharing links to profiles and posts can be tedious

Not really?

> but you need to be on the server hosting your account to boost, favorite, or follow.

And if you click one of those it'll allow you to enter your home server and it'll redirect.

steps:

1. someone gives me a link

2. i click it (i can instantly view the profile/post)

3. i click favorite

4. i enter my home server

5. redirected to home server

With yours:

1. someone gives me a fedv.link

2. i click it

3. it brings me to a page that says continue or set preferred server

if i continue then it doesn't bring me to my home server, so

4. i click set preferred server

5. i need to enter my home server

6. i need to go back to step 2 because it doesn't redirect me, i just stay on that page.

I'm a US citizen, and I recognize my country has done some terrible things, but I shouldn't have to personally feel the consequences for those things.

At the same time, I wouldn't want random Russian citizens to have to feel the consequences for things their government has done.

Systemd runs things in cgroups by default, so installing the postgres package from your systemd distro's official repos and ensuring that is enabled and running will get you postgres in cgroups to start with. From there you can check the systemd.resource-control(5) man page for some potentially interesting tunables.

Almost all of that comes from iPhones/iPad/etc. services. Also IIRC 1/4 of their services revenue is just the $20 billion Google is paying them every year.

Alright, you might be right. However, while I'm not shocked but still more than mildly surprised that there are people who think that this might be possible.
Little Planets: With one click, create a free, zero-account social network

This inspired me to start building Little Planets. It's a way to spin up your own hyper-local, hyper-focused social network with a single click. No fuss, no accounts required from anyone. I'm super excited about it. Just launching the beta today.
Quiet-Star: Language Models Teach Themselves to Think Before Speaking
The demo's use of Stackblitz is actually really confusing here, because it makes it seem like their IDE is what's being demoed when it's not.

WebContainers is a (proprietary) library for anyone to use to build playgrounds that execute client and server code on the frontend alone. It sounds like it was extracted from Stackblitz's implementation for separate use.

WebContainers is not competing in that crowded field (though Stackblitz is) because as far as I know no one else offers a library to build your own. This is partly because it's a pretty niche offering—developers of server-side or full-stack frameworks are the most obvious target users.

If I were a junior in my first year of working, I would decline any remote offer.

In the first few years, I was enthusiastic about remote working. Now, I am envious of people who work in offices or have public-facing jobs because of the social interactions.

(UK here) Several native UK birds - e.g. Blue Tits - have blue elements but I don't think we have any wholly blue birds, so yes, an entirely blue bird to me immediately seems exotic, and definitely not a robin. Because we have juvenile Robins in our garden I am quite used to seeing Robins that don't have the classic red breast (they acquire this permanently in their first main moult) and I can now recognise Robins from their behaviours as well as their colouration.

I agree with you that Robin Hood would have 'woodsiness' colours but until I read your comment I wouldn't have thought of comparing Robin (the bird) with Robin Hood (medieval outlaw).

It's probably the software stack consuming more and more of the available hardware capacity. I seem to remember there's a "law", like software expands until it consumes all available capacity.. Ah here it is, Niklaus Wirth in "A Plea for Lean Software" (1995). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth's_law

> Wirth's law is an adage on computer performance which states that software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster.

You wouldn't want to use a single `margin: auto`, because that sets the top and bottom margins to `auto` as well. For example if the parent container is flex, you'd then end up with a container that is centered vertically as well, which is not what you wanted. What you're probably looking for is `margin: 0 auto`.

In no other industry a engineer would think like that...except in IT.

We definitely have too powerful and cheap Hardware, combined with lazy Wetware who just wants to "call it a day"....be proud of your work....or so they say.

I've been remote for about 12 years, but now after getting divorced and becoming an empty nester, hybrid seems like a much better idea for me. Too lonely when you are single to work from home all the time.

I also think it would probably be best for most people, not just for socialization, but because most jobs have some level of both collaborative and individualized work. Even though my job is mostly writing code, it is still beneficial to have sessions with peers to brainstorm, design, discuss, etc.

Why scale up when you can optimise? I'm probably going to be downvoted for this, but imo this is really the mindset that leads to bloated software.
True, you can easily hand tighten to 40 inch pounds.

After looking at some more evidence, I agree that it’s probably just a poorly designed receptacle, probably on par with a residential 5-15R which are made to a much lower standard than a comparable commercial 5-15R.

It looks like Leviton may have discontinued the receptacle that lots of people had melt on them so that probably is the case.

I work fully remote, so I get a lot of non-close-friend socialization and "shop talk" from local meetups. It's extracurricular (more work), but I find there are often more diverse topics and challenges to discuss outside of just 1 company. So I was recently at a meetup hosted by [pretty large US tech company] in [city pretty popular with tech workers] and some recruiters for the company were there.

They said they were having challenges recruiting tech workers after a mandatory, full, 5-day-per-week return-to-office. When I friendlily asked what sort of benefits they've seen so far from it, they each spoke about how they personally liked in-person collaboration, the sort of chance encounters you get around the water cooler, etc.

Not that there's acting wrong with that, it's just that I was expecting something along the lines of measurably better business outcomes, while it seemed they had internalized an RTO sales pitch to hiring prospects, which consisted of saying they liked it so much that they wanted it not only for themselves, but for others, too.

That strikes me as a common mandatory RTO reasoning from leadership (I doubt the individual recruiters had much say in the decision): Results? IDK, I just want the other people to be here because I want it.
Exactly. There is currently no meaningful penalty when a company fails to protect private data or violates its own privacy policies, so of course they continue to do these things because each either makes them more money or costs them less money.

Prison time being on the table for officers of the corporation is the only thing that will change this behavior.
Experience looks like intelligence to us because we didn’t see the hours our favorite instructors and mentors spent banging their heads against their own notebooks, haha.
Much as I appreciate not having to commute in 9-5 every day at this point (and am mostly retired anyway), I think I'd pretty much have hated just working from home fresh out of school.
Unix's standard error is definitely not the first invention of a sink for errors. According to Doug McIlroy, Unix got standard error in its 6th Edition, released in May 1975 (http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/reader.pdf). 5th Edition was released in June, 1974, so it's reasonable to suppose Unix's standard error was developed during that 11 month interval. By that time, Multics already had a dedicated error stream, called error_output (see https://multicians.org/mtbs/mtb763.html, dated October 1973).

All the same, I'd be willing to believe that Unix's standard error could have been an "independent rediscovery" of one feature made highly desirable by other features (redirection and pipes). It's not clear how much communication there was among distinct OS researcher groups back then, so even if other systems had an analogue, Bell Labs people might not have been aware of it.

WebRTC has congestion control and Simulcast/SVC, what is missing for adaptive bitrate switching. What is stalling recovery? I believe NACK/PLI handle this?

WebRTC doesn’t have a scaling problem. I think it was a software problem! Twitch, Tencent, Agora, Phenix all do 100k+ these days

I like WebRTC because of the open-ness of it. I also like that I only need one system for ingest and playback. I am HEAVILY biased though, way over invested in WebRTC :) I tend to care about greenfield/unique problems and not enough about scaling and making money
I think our whole paradigm of computing is unfit for the adversarial world of today. Our systems are like loaded guns where you need to hold 1000 safeties (some of them hidden) for it to (probably) not fire. It's absurd how hard it is to make anything.

How is it any more of a nothing-comment than yours? MSG is fine, but it definitely isn't what I would have imagined being the main ingredient.

Given that the input is "integers uniformly sampled from [0, 2³¹−1]" couldn't you use a LUT for the 99.99% case of just 10/9/8 digit numbers instead and have a cold branch the handle the very rare smaller numbers.

3D printing obviously wins for low barrier to entry, but I wonder if it wouldn't be faster and cheaper at scale to make some of those parts the "traditional" way with molds or such. Maybe worth a group buy?
First time I hear about HighLoad. Seems really interesting to me on the first glance. I personally find SIMD and ISA/μarch-specific optimizations more rewarding than pure algorithmic challenges (codeforces and such).

Though Haswell seems like a pretty obsolete platform to optimize for at this point. Even Skylake will be a decade old next year.
I also hate MW on sandwiches and whatnot because it's way too sweet. However, most coleslaw recipes add a ton of sugar anyway. So I don't think the end result is that far off.

The primary reason that I suspect he used MW is that it contains a yeast inhibitor (potassium sorbate), which seems to keep the yeast from turning the coleslaw into sauerkrautslaw. The Colonel probably didn't understand this, but knew the results were much better.

I've made coleslaw both ways (mayo and MW) and I do think the MW keeps the slaw crunchier.

Ask HN: App to Handle Prior Authorizations?
Prior authorizations to insurance companies for medical care are annoying.

The idea is to make a HIPAA-compliant tool to help doctors handle prior authorization submissions and denials from insurance companies. Basically this would be HIPAA-compliant GPT with customizations to draft requests and appeal letters, but it could also pull from recent research studies to build the case for certain authorizations, and track prior authorization submissions.

The value proposition is that it would reduce time doctors and staff spend on PA requests and increase approval rates.

What does HN think? Would this be worth building?

Show HN: I made a free game that teaches you SALES
The site's pretty basic: astro, tailwind, typescript, netlify.

Here's the bottom line up front:

It's really just a spreadsheet that I was using as a checklist.

… But I turned it into a little game with a cool retro vibe, because people told me the spreadsheet was so super useful for them to “learn sales.”

I was inspired because I had a screenshot I posted on slack that become SUPER popular even though the text was really small & blurry – people kept asking for better quality.

I couldn't find my original doc, so I used an AI tool to OCR the old image, transform to csv, then threw it on the web & everybody said it was like the best Sales Training ever — even for devs & designers!

Eventually I turned it into a modern spreadsheet & then into a game, to make it more interactive and fun.

#1 on Product Hunt today:
‣ https://producthunt.com/posts/sales-likelihood-calculator

“Sales Likelihood Calculator”

I think the moral of the story is:

① Look for what your users / audience actually want. They kept asking me for a better version of a blurry screen shot.

② Take it all the way and turn it into a product, even if the product is simple.

③ Make your first (or newest) product Free if you can. Just make a simple product before you leverage that into a larger paid product.

You'll grow your audience, position yourself as an expert, and learn a ton along the way.

Here are some famous HN articles about Sales:
