Every computer on the Internet is not able to know my computer exists. My router allows established (i.e. originally outgoing) connections/flows and drops anything else without even an ICMP reply, same as ipv4. If I want to run a service though, then I just add a rule to allow traffic on that port to my computer's stable address.

ipv6 and global addressability allows p2p services to work, which is necessary to get away from centralized service providers like google/facebook/etc.
The point is the kotlin compiler not handling tail recursive calls of other functions. If it cannot handle it that is a build time error, not a runtime one. It shouldn’t even get to the jvm. Clojure is way more dynamic so such errors would be expected.

The whole thing is attempting to hack together something that superficially competes with c# but just doesn’t have the substance.

AI tool that scrapes social media and finds leads ready to buy your product
To set it up, just create a project and describe your product or service. And then it will start finding highly relevant tweets where you can recommend your product/service. It will try to find relevant tweets continuously so the list will keep on growing.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions on how can I improve it so it will provide more value. Thanks in advance!

Unless we change physics and make wireless charging anywhere nears as efficient as wired charging, I imagine we are going to have a way to charge with a wire for quite some time.

There are scenarios where those wireless inefficiencies add up, for example when charging off a battery bank whose “tank” you need to conserve… burning 40% of your capacity as heat is kind of crappy.

Right, because that solidifies their position in the market. That spend provides a more compelling product (more eyeballs, as has been said), which is in no way realistically matched by would-be competition. Clearly monopolistic behaviour.

Ask HN: How to manage a PhD project?
Hi HN,

I’ve just embarked on my PhD journey in biomedicine and am starting to feel the pressure of managing multiple projects simultaneously. I’m currently using Quarto for drafting manuscripts and managing analyses with Git, which has been great so far. However, I’m finding it increasingly challenging to stay organized with the sheer number of tasks on my plate: manuscripts, conference posters, lectures, peer reviews, grant applications, emails, emails, emails, and more.

I’m considering self-hosted project management solutions and would love to hear about your experiences. Ideally, I’m looking for tools that offer features such as:

- To-do lists
- Time tracking
- Storage for related text (emails, meeting notes) and files (manuscript versions, presentations, PDFs)

Do you have any recommendations or insights into (preferably opensource) software that has worked well for managing research projects or similar tasks?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Ask HN: How should I, an SRE, prepare to conquer AI?
I am 38, a Linux Admin and SRE. Have a nice job which allows me to keep learning new things. And in my job, over the past few months have been using AI to help me Code (write and parse) and learn complicated topics by making AI explain stuff in a very simplified manner.

I understand using to Code is one application and I am doing that. I also use AI in my linux-administration tasks. But like in Machine-Learning people learn math and python-coding, what should I learn for AI to always try to be ahead of the curve.

I know that I should learn how to make good prompts, which will be a never ending thing, but am Okay with that cause I myself like simplifying things. Should I learn lot of deep Math to go deep into LLMs? I am totally lost here. Should I be, and I donno whether I will be able to, read some particular AI-related code base, like for example, LangChain libraries?

Please help me out here.
Were you there? From the late 80s to mid-late 90s all my classrooms had Apple computers and Macs. Late 90s seemed to be the transition to "IBM compatible" PCs.
Thanks. I haven't found better information, I think it's likely all the best details would be buried in formal filings that are more effortful to dig up and dig through. I wouldn't expect detailed breakdowns though, Boring Company is private and isn't likely to want to reveal more of their private finances than contracting requires of them.

A problem, though, is that it is not binary. There is a whole spectrum of nonsense, and if you are not a specialist it is not obvious to figure out the accuracy of the reply. Sometimes by chance you end up asking for something the model knows about for some reason, but very often not. That is the wrong aspect of it. Students might rely on it in their 1st year because it worked a couple of times and then learn a lot of nonsense among the truthy facts LLMs tend to produce.

The main problem is not that they are wrong. It would be simpler if they were. But then, recommending students to use them as tutors is really not a good idea, unless what you want is overconfidently wrong students (I mean more than some of them already are). It’s not random doomsayers saying this; it’s university professors and researchers with advanced knowledge. Exactly the people that should be trusted for this kind of things, more than AI techbros.

> Not really. It would take immense effort to train bots to play “like humans” and not “as performantly” as humans which is very different.

There is precedent in Maia Chess, which does a good job of mimicking human chess players at various ELO ratings. Of course, it's a lot more difficult to extrapolate to games with significantly more state/movesets, but I imagine that this space will be further explored in the near future.

> And if you’re going to be optimizing game parameters that means you’re assuming that either the AI doesn’t change its behaviors even though the game is different or you’re assuming that humans will adapts in the same way the bots do.

This could be addressed by including the game parameters of interest (what map, what character, the weapon stats at time of gameplay, etc.) in the input to the training data.

> It also takes away a lot of the design thinking behind balance. You probably don’t want to nerf the AK. You probably want to buff counterplay options (guns are not a great example but still)

Tool-assisted QA is nothing new. Using AI is a newer iteration of the concept. You still have to interpret the results it gives and make decisions based on that. The design thinking isn't replaced, it's augmented with additional insights. Are those insights potentially inaccurate? Sure, but you can account for that with sanity checks/manual intervention/play testing.
Congrats on the launch, I think I'll try this out and consider it for self hosting.

If you want to connect with different segments, packaging this to make it available for things like yunohost (one click install) could be really valuable as more than a few ppl on tools like can have their own domains already setup.

If there's another company out there mutilating their workers via chemical burns to shuffle people 1.7 miles around a convention center [1], then I'll gladly bestow upon them the innovator award as well. Stating that constructing things is generally dangerous feels like something out of the PR department at the Boring Company.

Streaming is getting more expensive for consumers
Not in SF but I liked the topic because recently I started using LLM in a very interesting way and I would like to see if that's something others are doing too.

In place of adding packages to my projects, which I would probably not use the whole of it, I ask ChatGPT/Sonnet to generate a subset of that package that fits my needs and grow it from there.

In same way I've removed literally all packages in a web app I'm working besides tailwind which I'm also thinking about how to remove next.

The biggest upside of this strategy is that I understand everything that is going on in the code and another one is to avoid npm packages that is a big security risk.

Another benefit is package size, the app I'm working was getting to a final bundle of 400kb, which isn't too big but now it is 150kb with exactly the same features but without multiple frameworks and packages that I wasn't using 10% of it.
Most of the time we'd end up with a group of friends where we'd each buy a different book then share among each other. Not many were spending the whole amount every semester, especially past the first year when we didn't really know any better.

In depth investigation could better reward the original publication. If news site 'A' spends a year investigating a piece, five minutes after they publish, news site 'B' can summarize their findings.

Why subscribe to 'A' when 'B' is cheaper? It costs a lot less to summarize good journalism than it does to do good journalism.

With paper news, the news service that breaks the story gets a day of exclusivity. Perhaps half a day of exclusivity with evening editions.
And now I think about the story earlier this week where a judge put that student in the audience in a jail uniform and handcuffs because she fell asleep. It is all so gross.

Network installers are still used to this day on big network buildouts, simply because office IT departments aren't staffed for that kind of work regardless of how easy the software is.

But it's not like Schmidt had any strategy to bypass the network installers. He just decided to screw them hard so he could make a quarter look good, which lead inevitably to them deciding not to be Novell's low-paid salesforce anymore, which lead rapidly to the vastly premature collapse of the business.
>If you are young and you go work at Google, they will beat that fire out of you very quickly.

I don't agree, but there are challenges at Google that don't exist in other large companies.

Google's monorepo along with the 'bottom up' driven culture means that to enact any non trivial change, you need many sign-offs, which means an iron clad design doc, and either you have to be brave enough to make huge disparate changes across other teams codebasse, OR to wait multiple quarters to have respective teams execute.

Sometimes this is awesome, and it means you can do really complex things over the course of a year.

Often, it just means experimenting with non trivial changes takes 3x longer than it would at say Amazon or more silo'd companies.
> I don't grok why Tesla does it and I don't grok why BYD does it either.

It's plain to me how this can come into conflict with National Interest - no country wants cheap solar and EV at the cost of its own manufacturers going bankrupt (and losing the jobs that go with them going down the supply chain).

User data is valuable[1], storage is cheap, so keeping it has no downsides.

Show HN: Easily generate text and compute probabilities for any Hugging Face LLM
A python library and command line scripts to simplify working with language models.

In the course of studying EleutherAI's Language Model Evaluation Harness, we found ourselves wanting to be able to use their clean LM interface for our own projects, particularly with models from the Hugging Face model hub. Starting from the lm-evaluation-harness code, we built a standalone HFLM class that you can easily import into your Python projects to quickly generate text and compute log probabilities of arbitrary strings.

We also wrote two scripts to let you play with LMs from the command line: lmprob takes a model and a string and returns the log probability of the string according to the model, and lmgen takes a model and a string and generates some completion text. If you've ever wanted to write shell scripts that make decisions and take actions using an LLM, these scripts will help you do that.

You are correct about the ratios not mattering that way, but it is jarring for someone who knows about this stuff to see 4/3 (the fourth) instead of 3/2 and to see the positioning of the wolf being the I-V relationship in the scale. I would suggest that if you want to keep it, you should be explicit that the frequency relationship on this fifth is far off, and I would suggest drawing a circle of fifths (which will be a lot more clear after seeing a fifth in the harmonic series). Instinctively, that section feels very wrong despite being (mostly) right. I would personally suggest dropping it entirely - you don't need the history.

Edit: I was thinking about your existing diagram a bit more, and here is the rework I might suggest without doing anything too major:

Do an up-a-fifth-down-a-fourth path through the chart, and that is easier to rationalize and understand than "mostly 4/3 with 2/3 ratios interspersed when we need to drop an octave":

C * 3/2 -> G

G * 2/3 -> D

D * 3/2 -> A

A * 2/3 -> E

E * 3/2 -> B

B * 2/3 -> F#

There is only one break from the pattern right here with two descending perfect fourths in a row:

F# * 2/3 -> C#

C# * 3/2 -> G#

...

You can also restart from C going down to F and Bb once you reach F# and that gives you the typical Pythagorean tuning, but then you will have to explain why that happens to readers who are unfamiliar with tuning.
AT&T, Verizon Tell FCC to Reject SpaceX Plan for Cellular Starlink
One of my previous advisors, while working on a PhD in sociality in insects, had a lot of time to spend in a front lawn in New York City. Trained to observe he recorded hundreds of species, on that lawn. Another insect curator I worked with (also from Texas), collected in a nearby park throughout his lifetime (still is I'm sure). Collected well over 1000 species of beetles, alone. Both were highly, highly trained, in a way that is increasingly disappearing. There are many, many other stories like this. That training included as much how and where to look as it did technical assessment (e.g. what you needed to see to identify species). Because of a whole pile of factors, stubborn old-timers, new technologies, lack of foresight and vision, we're losing that expertise rapidly. By the time we need answers from the vast genetic experiments that come from the lab that is Earth's evolution, we'll not know where, or how to look for them.
For those that don't know, there's a double entendre on the story title.
