Thank you for the feedback dalke!

Yes, I store those pre-computed values as a header in front of the standard RDKit binary molecule, not the SMILES string.

I first convert the SMILES string to a RDKit molecule. Then I get those values (number of atoms, number of rings, etc.) from the RDKit molecule object. Then I serialize those values as a header in front of the rest of the binary molecule object.
Like so: Pre-computed values header (20 bytes) + binary RDKit molecule object (n bytes)

I wanted to store the binary molecule object in my database so that other functionality like substructure searches, or converting to a different molecule format could use that molecule object, like the RDKit Postgres extension `mol` type.
But, a separate, dedicated column containing a hash just for exact searches might be even faster with duckdb's string capabilities.

Although a SMILES string may be 60 bytes on average, the binary molecule from RDkit may be bigger. I took a look at chembl, and although it may contain some strange structures, I found that the minimum byte length of a pickled/binary molecule via the RDKit Postgres extension is 65 bytes, with the max being 15,762 bytes [1].
But, I did not calculate the average size of the binary molecule, and your comment helped me to realize that. I should take a look at that. If the average is much bigger, 20 bytes is, perhaps, not too much more overhead.

I am assuming that getting these header/prefix values (number of atoms, rings, etc) from the RDKit molecule is not too expensive. Since the more expensive part of parsing the input (SMILES) and converting it to the RDKit molecule is being done anyways (in order to get the molecule object), I'm assuming I can get those header values without much additional computational cost.

I use it as a timer and to control a couple smart lights. About 1 in 5 times I use it as a basic utility, it attempts to sell me something. I have nearly stopped using it altogether as a result of this unwanted behavior.

As an added annoyance, I moved states and it reports the weather in my previous location, despite repeated attempts to update my home location through the app. So I don’t even ask it the weather any more.

At one point it was the cheapest whole-home, multi-speaker audio setup on the market. But I use spotify as the music source.

None of these things generate revenue for Amazon, and their feeble attempts to do so run counter to the actual utility of the device.
> I don't think we know the growth curve until we see gpt5.

I'm prepared to be wrong, but I think that the fact that we still haven't seen GPT-5 or even had a proper teaser for it 16 months after GPT-4 is evidence that the growth curve is slowing. The teasers that the media assumed were for GPT-5 seem to have actually been for GPT-4o [0]:

> Lex Fridman(01:06:13) So when is GPT-5 coming out again?

> Sam Altman(01:06:15) I don’t know. That’s the honest answer.

> Lex Fridman(01:06:18) Oh, that’s the honest answer. Blink twice if it’s this year.

> Sam Altman(01:06:30) We will release an amazing new model this year. I don’t know what we’ll call it.

> Lex Fridman(01:06:36) So that goes to the question of, what’s the way we release this thing?

> Sam Altman(01:06:41) We’ll release in the coming months many different things. I think that’d be very cool. I think before we talk about a GPT-5-like model called that, or not called that, or a little bit worse or a little bit better than what you’d expect from a GPT-5, I think we have a lot of other important things to release first.

Note that last response. That's not the sound of a CEO who has an amazing v5 of their product lined up, that's the sound of a CEO who's trying to figure out how to brand the model that they're working on that will be cheaper but not substantially better.

Credit cards often have extended warranties in the US. Once two of our Android phones failed due to a defect a few months after warranty expired. I called up the credit card company and they returned the full amount for both phones with minimal fuss.

The % cash back we accumulate to buy fun stuff for the family. Like a new laptop or video game system.

Also we pay off our credit cards monthly so there is no debt buildup but the activity helps maintain a good credit score. Some people fall into the mindset that a credit card is an extra source of money.
That's the good faith interpretation.

Then you look at soviet loses vs everyone's else :)

if you want healthier juice....buy a juicer and make it yourself. You're never going to get healthy options from a wholesaler who buys from massive brands that are not known for healthy options. Long term, making it yourself is cheaper too.

Most of the time in the juice space, anything that is designed to be shelf-stable in a warehouse is not. at. all. healthy. It's packed with preservatives and other stabilizers that are not good for you to consume. Or it has been pasteurized, which kills the vast majority of the nutrients in the liquid itself.

I will say as a caveat, that the Kirkland Signature Organic Coconut Water is quite good.

I use mine to start music. I have different commands for music when I work, when I cook, when I’m getting ready for a run. About 4-5 commands in total.

Sometimes I have to change the “whole house”
Command because it doesn’t like where the word ‘group’ was. Sometimes it wants it first, other times.. after.

I use commands like “music time”. I have for years. And sometimes it won’t understand my command request. I have to say it 5 times and then it works. I’ve looked for words it’s likely to understand better than others. I also have “sleep time”. Usually, when I’ve said it enough times for Alexa to understand, I’m no longer calm enough for sleep.

I also can’t believe you can ask it to start an album and go to the second song. Seems like a basic request.

This is a much clearer argument to me. Theorem provers can be used to ensure certain constraints are met for all possible inputs. It doesn't matter to a theorem prover if 1/0=0, 1/0=infinity, or 1+1=3 so long as you can show the system stays within its constraints. It's not a question of math, it's about what you can prove the machine will do.

I believe most of us doing systems programming and building control systems use IEEE 754, so it's surprising to see a conflicting suggestion. I'd say the biggest thing is that programmers need to be aware of how 1/0 is handled, as 0, infinity, or an exception can all cause undesired results.
Sounds to me like they work out to be the same in this respect, only differing in perception. Both are solving problems with approximately similar levels of caching ideas and techniques and experience, while developing proficiency with similar quantities of tools. They're both generally making their money solving problems with all of that, only occasionally getting a chance to express themselves in some unusual artistic way that most likely won't be a viable income stream until they've really made a name for themselves; save for the rare circumstance they are Aphex Twin

This might be a stupid question, but by "content-addressable" do you mean that namespaces are eliminated? This thing where you store each individual version of a function indexed by hash, that's content addressability?
I can see this argument making a bit of sense, but if they documented this 3 years after the issue was reported, they don't have a way to demonstrate that they truly already knew.

At the end it boils down to: is Github being honest and fair in answering the bug bounty reports?

If you think it is, cool.

If you don't, maybe it's not worth playing ball with Github's bug bounty process
Hopefully I didn't seem too pedantic. I don't think C# having it first necessarily diminishes your point about the use of async and await in JS.

Async and await were nice additions in C# to make working with tasks more convenient, but there were other ways to manage async tasks without ending up with a tower of callbacks. The situation was messier in JS.
Sounds inefficient. It’s like predicting the boiling point of a kettle by measuring the speed of individual molecules of water.

Why can't your car go backwards as fast as forwards? Etc. It sucks that everyone gets exposed to the relatively low level implementation with LLM (almost the raw model), but that's the reality today.
Why is that so simple? I've had online bank accounts, calendars and emails for many years now, but I still can't do a "text search" across all of them. Isn't the LLM the easy part? How do you link and connect all the different systems you interact with?

>nation-states like China

Is there a reason these articles like to say "nation-state" rather than "countries"? I think the question of whether China is a nation-state is not entirely settled (the state is broader than the nation in its case), but also it seems odd to exclude countries like Belgium that are not nation-states from these kinds of statements.
My point was that the person fooled by https://foo.zip/ would have been also fooled by https://foo.com/bar.zip, so the existence .zip wouldn’t change much.

But now I’ve understood that the auto-linkification of a simple non-link mention like update.zip can be indeed dangerous.
Here in the US with Amazon it will usually give you a price per quantity, though that can vary between "each", "oz", etc... The real issue being complained about is that there may be 10 listings in Amazon for "Tide Pods", so if you say to Alexa "Order Tide Pods" you aren't sure what you'll get, what quantity, or what price.

Amazon REALLY needs to do some product normalization.

It is true that if you go into a grocery store, you're literally presented with a whole aisle of detergent, and even if you are as the section for "Tide Pods" there may be quite a few options (larger/smaller, "stain blaster", "fresh", whatever), you very quickly get a pretty good view of what the options are and their differences, plus prices and things like "on sale" cards.

The shopping experience is absolutely inferior with Amazon for things for which there are many alike products.

One could even imagine some sort of mega page for "slim network cables" where you'd select the standard and color and length and be presented with a few options. They try this with things like screws, though I can't believe they have one option for star drive 5/8" wood screws...

Show HN: Hooper – AI-driven stats and highlights for basketball play
Hey everyone, OP here. Wanted to share a bit more about Hooper — I started building it with a good friend of mine six months ago. We play a lot of pickup together and were arguing about who has a better jump shot and ended up hacking together an app to settle it

The way Hooper works is you can record yourself using the app and ideally a tripod (optional). The app will track everyone, whether its a solo practice, a 3v3, or a 5v5. We think there’s a lot of stuff out there for basketball drills but what we really wanted Hooper to be for is actual game play. That means, it can do things like track multiple players, sync two half court recordings, and differentiate 2s vs 3s.

Once you finish recording, it’ll process for a bit and then ask you to tag yourself (and optionally other players). Then it spits back out a few things: you can watch the full footage as well as a clipped version that's only the interesting plays; you can see highlights and offensive box stats for every player.

When you sign up, you get a Hooper profile that tracks your overall stats across the sessions. You can also do things like build a mixtape from your highlights for insta. You can friend other players on Hooper to see their profile & comment on their games (also add us “grub” and “kangexpress”!)

We’ve been in a closed beta for about 3 months now, fixing bugs and getting things to work with a set of early adopters. We are now starting our open beta ! If anyone here wants to try it out, you can just download the app on https://www.hooper.gg/?utm_campaign=h1. We are early in our journey, and lots of improvements to be made in the next few months, but we would love your feedback and ideas!
> I don't think the "model collapse" problem is particularly important these days. The people training models seem to have that well under control.

And you base this on what? Vibes?
I mean at its core operating a bank account, an email and a calendar is just running operations on a browser.

LLM's can do that (ex: https://www.skyvern.com or https://www.gumloop.com).

edit: Though more generally, I can see a future where all these operations are essentially different functions in a function calling system.
It depends on the company but 90% of companies are this way. Which is what the parent comment was saying, it's overall shifting towards that. Which I have seen as well.
There is no open source LLM. What even is that? LLMs don’t have source, they have training data and they sure as hell aren’t giving that away for free. Even if they did you’d need to remortgage to rent the GPUs.

Please realize, for this to be true, there must be another incentive. I.e., Alexa devices are government-subsidized spyware.

What are the advantages for Amazon?

- Mic-popping, Camera-popping, mobile phone backdoor access, network sniffing, device activity monitoring across all wifi/bluetooth connected networks.

- Sidewalk (remember this? Amazon "borrows" your wifi, for free...)

Unplug Alexa devices. Remove the Alexa app from your phone, and factory reset. Otherwise you remain complicit in Amazon surveillance of you and everyone that interacts with you.
No large company running a bug bounty cares one iota about stiffing you on a bounty payment. The teams running this programs are internally incentivized to maximize payouts; the payouts are evidence that the system is working. If you're denied a payment --- for a large company, at least --- there's something else going on.

The thing to keep in mind is that large-scale bug bounty programs make their own incentive weather. People game the hell out of them. If you ack and fix sev:info bugs, people submit lots more sev:info bugs, and now your security program has been reoriented around the dumbest bugs --- the opposite of what you want a bounty program to do.

While I appreciate your presumptuous concern, I must disabuse you of the notion that I require fictitious accounts to court controversy. My singular, longstanding Hacker News account suffices admirably for that purpose. As for engaging in dialogue, I find your fixation on transgender politics and trichological tribulations(hair loss) rather limiting. Perhaps these intersecting preoccupations stem from a deeper struggle with accepting certain incontrovertible truths?
The current hype cycle is about artificially inflating the value of Nvidia stock by creating do-nothing "products" and "customers". It would be more efficient to have the public pay for GPUs directly.
I can only theorize, but my guess is that a human signs up, then allows the bot to post. I get this quite often from clients where they have an online form with a reCAPTCHA, and they are getting regular spam. I have to explain that some bots are able to figure out the reCAPTCHA, as well as let them know that sometimes real humans are just paid to fill out forms and bot detection isn't going to help in those cases. This is especially true with services like Fiverr.

Some moaners believe the "climate crisis" is another scheme by the elite to get "us" to pay more, e.g. in the form of CO2 compensation, fuel tax while EVs get subsidies, "forcing" "us" to buy EVs that are another platform to control and spy on "us".

They are insufferable, to be honest.
>Does acting this way catch people who are trying to deceive them?

The retired cops who will charge your department $100k for "training" will absolutely tell you they are teaching you how to detect liars.

Actual studies have shown their techniques (things like microexpressions etc) are not only ineffective, but make you WORSE THAN RANDOM CHANCE at detecting lies. A person who has received no "training" in these stupid systems are better at detecting lies.

But cops love other cops and former cops, and have a shitload of money in their budget for stupid nonsense training like "Killology", and apparently have absurd and unscientific worldviews that they refuse to escape. So they keep booking the retired cop who tells them "that hoodlum who you feel is sketchy is definitely sketchy so trust your instinct" and do not book the scientist who tells them "actually everything you know is mostly wrong, and you shouldn't ever trust your gut".
I believe that shadow-banning is unethical. It goes against a fundamental human right to "be seen and heard" and should never be done.

The biggest problem we’re tackling is that the majority of stories don’t get told. Let’s take comics for example. As a creator, you either have to: have significant money, a specialized skillset (e.g. writing, illustrating), time + energy, or connections. Usually all four.

Lumi unlocks all of these. Now, everyone has access and opportunity to tell their stories.

Beyond this, creators finally have a one-stop shop to publish and monetize without sacrificing major creative control and rev-share.

Every medium to large company I have worked for I moved all the domains to MarkMonitor due to their good support and what services they offer. I do not know if they are still good, but all the companies I moved to them are still using them.

One big perk in my eyes is they are specific to businesses and there are counter-signed legal agreements, contracts in place. As such, far less likely to pull a stunt like another registrar recently that put a domain on hold [1] for one abuse complaint. They would instead reach out to the multiple business leaders listed as business contacts and sort things out like professionals. They also have a legal presence in every country where it is required to get the ccTLD of that country. I never had a bad interaction with them and they were always reachable and knowledgeable.

I have had good luck thus far with eNom for my hobby domains and Porkbun for my meme domains.

I'm not trying to be obtuse, but literally don't understand how someone would get from "space ex" to "space sex" unless they are intentionally trying to stretch/double the consonant.

To be clear, I'm willing to agree that it's a funny mispronunciation, but am unwilling to accept that this particular naming was an intentional juvenile joke by Musk. It's widely known he's a fan of the letter X, and I believe that fully explains "SpaceX".

I wouldn't call the parent comment you're responding to an "interrogation" and I'm sorry you perceived it that way. You make a pretty extraordinary claim that local disk is better than a remote repository for storing/updating code for personal work - with no evidence to support this claim - so a followup question seems reasonable.

as far as "git is distributed" I don't know if that's the case if you keep it purely local, but hey, you seem to have it all figured out so good job.
