Thanks for the question. If our participant were to try and "think" something, it won't work. This is not a mind-reading device. Instead, he has to try and it say it for it to work.

The system maps a sequence of phonemes decoded from neural signals into words on a screen. The words are selected from a 125,000 word dictionary, and he can add custom words to the list.

So, to answer your question, if he were to add "OMG" and "STFU" to the dictionary, then he could say them (if he wanted to).

Really, it depends on the problem you're trying to solve. I was humorously illustrating a wide spectrum of requirements in terms of both authentication certainty and implementation friction. To determine what "good authentication" is, you must first determine if you're protecting a nuclear missile silo, a Chipotle bathroom, or something in between.

A 9 digit shared secret is probably not a good authentication factor for launching a nuclear missile. It's also not great for handing out loans. But it's also probably overkill for accessing a Chipotle bathroom.

And a slight nit: SSNs aren't public. They are, of course, frequently shared, and easily compromised. But they are literally private shared secrets.
I don't think it's really intentional. Most of the aviation industry would love to get rid of the burden that is leaded avgas. Not to mention the environmentalists, health departments etc.

The problem is just that the rules for larger aircraft apply to general aviation too. And the margins there aren't high enough to pay for all the certification. So we're stuck with 1950s tech which would never pass certification today but did at one time in history. It's weird how regulations supposedly intended to make things better are holding us back and stopping innovation to make things safer, more sustainable and efficient.
If someone hands me an iPhone or Mac and asks me to try to do things I feel frustration.

Just rambling here: the navigation paradigms, where the settings are, the animations, cursors, the way the mouse accelerates, the keyboard shortcuts, the icons on windows, maximizing windows, the dock, navigating with Finder creates invisible files directories, the "drag to install" nonsense is one of the dumbest UX paradigms ever (I'm not being facetious).

I hope my random ramblings about things I don't assuages your feeling that I'm being inconsiderate. I'm sure there are people who love everything above and who think its perfect.

Programmers always want to automate content creation. I get it as I’m a coder and it’s a fun problem space. Plus creating content is super time and skill intensive. It’s really hard to get right in my experience. Kind of like trying to automate writing a novel…

OK I read the article. I'm very skeptical of this approach. I doubt we can actually uncover fitness functions that reliably maps to "fun", and I believe it would require huge engineering effort to keep the game "simulable." Their examples aren't convincing. What would be convincing is a full, complex, and _fun_ game using these techniques.

Also the article seems like an ad for their AI solution.

> that speaks of a shitty company which will eventually be eaten by the market

Agreed! Although "eventually" takes a very long time, possibly decades. In the meantime there are a host of cheaper tactics for maintaining and draining market share: acquisitions, exploitative terms (like Amazon's "best buy" conditions), regulatory capture etc... .

The issue is that the current system of shareholder capitalism strongly encourages short-term gains in lieu of sustainability. It's very difficult to justify spending on ease of use when you already have the users and there are things you could do to milk them like making ads more subtle.

The Viral Paleontologist Who Unearths Pathogens' Deep Histories
I only every bought like 2 newspapers regularly, canard enchainé (1.20 euros/per week) and monde diplomatique (5.40/per month). That comes around to 52 * 1.8 + 12 * 5.4 = 158.4 euros per year. So for half the price I get two newspapers with potentially different view on events. 325 euros per year sounds overpriced to me given that I like to hear multiple opinions from different publications. 325 to get access to 3-4 publications that only publishes weekly sounds good.

You can also look at other french journals like mediapart who do investigative journalism. Even they only charge 120 a year (https://abo.mediapart.fr).

They went with the premise of "a little a day seems to help, what happens if we feed ridiculous quantities once". The sort of medical research that appeals to the engineer in me and something you can only really do with compounds that are already known to be unlikely to kill your patient if you exceed the usual dose. Also I strongly suspect they did this to students given the age range.

There's more literature out there than this. That paper's references are probably a reasonable start point. But as creatine is very cheap and has been widely consumed by athletes for ages now it's about as low risk a gamble as any out there.

Except in a subway systems, the cost of the stations dominates the cost of the tunnels. So a small saving on the tunnelling itself doesn't make much difference.

Check out the December 2018 forecast costs for Crossrail [1]. 3676 million for seven stations, plus "station tunnels east", the construction of the station tunnels at Liverpool Street and Moorgate. 1708 million for running tunnels. 439 million for portals and shafts. 956 for tracks and electrics.

I enjoyed exploring the weird argument: Based on some vague statements in unknown context related second hand by an advisor and reported through a NATO outlet, we sacrificed the lives of over half a million Ukrainians and over $200B of our taxes to ensure that both houses of the Russian parliament do not approve conquering another European country.

Never mind that RF already has a vast territory of land and resources with not enough people to populate and tap it. Never mind that such an invasion would invoke article four of NATO and lead to world war three and probably go thermonuclear. Never mind that if RF survived the war, they would not be able to hold onto a territory where the residents oppose the occupiers.

Other countries must see us as stupid, insane, or both.

There are so many good single player games these days though (not by Valve, sadly).

If you liked Portal, give the Talos Principle 1 and 2 a try.

If you like story driven shooters, try Horizons, Control, Atomic Heart, Titanfall, Doom Eternal, the System Shock remake, Metro, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Prey. There are more good ones from last decade too (FEAR, Rainbow Six, etc.). None of them are really Half Life replacements, but they're good.

Or if you don't mind open world, RDR2, Cyberpunk, etc.

Not to mention the dozens of amazing single player indie games (not shooters) that have sprung up on Steam over the past two decades.

Valve seems to have given up on single-player games, but their marketplace allowed the industry to really blossom into the huge thing it is today.
If I recall, it was mainly due to the market size, and to a lesser extent Apples xenophobic posturing toward 3rd party developer control.

Information appliances like Mac are a streamlined workflow for Desktop Publishing, but are not intended to be repurposed in an arbitrary manner.

For example, you would see a dozen choices for CAD or IDE solutions on PC, but there would only be 1 option that cost 1200% more on Mac (OS 7.5.3).

Eventually the MacOS application/compiler options users had would slowly diversify under OSX/intel-cpu, but the M1/M2 architecture shift would drop again to burn down any progress people made opening the platform. The easy to cross-port GNU applications still cling to the underbelly of modern posix based MacOS, but you can guarantee it is an uphill battle to get anything deployed outside the Apple App store ecosystem build tree.

Apples irrational need to monopolize their own ecosystem meant they always locked down their platform though obscurity and or DRM security. It is unfortunate Microsoft Windows 11 and Google Android still copied Apples worst design choices, as users had their control slowly stripped off hardware they purchased.

Thus, most modern computer user interface design is just a sales funnel for App stores, and gentle racketeering. =3

they've admitted to knowingly reporting impossible metrics, which is lying as far as i'm concerned.

these specific metrics were used to indicate to business accounts what kind of content was appreciated, and cited in executive keynotes, essentially demanding an internet-wide "pivot to video".

one lawsuit has already settled with a payout and it seems like a second one is ongoing.

i believe the intent was that video embeds are watched in the feed, whereas articles are more often links out.

it was incredibly destructive as nearly every news outfit cited this as the motivation for gutting their investigations and writing staff.

The main flu in circulation every year, H1N1, has likely a direct descendant of the Spanish Flu from the 1918 global pandemic.

In 2022, he published a complete genome of Spanish flu from a lung taken from a 17-year-old girl who died of pneumonia in 1918. From this genome, he learned that our seasonal H1N1 influenza virus is likely a direct descendant of that pandemic-causing pathogen.

The same scientist found measles from 1912, that it was substantially the same as measles 2024, that a measles 2024 vaccine worked against measles 2012 and that measles likely originated ~2500 years ago, at the same time as a surge in the development of urban areas of sufficient size to support the sustained spread of measles.

Oh interesting, I hadn’t thought about it, but why does it seem like poor naming? I believe “filter” is totally standard in signal processing and has been for a long time, and that term does make sense to me in this case because what we’re trying to do is low-pass filter the signal, really. The filtering is achieve through convolution, and to your point I think there might be cases in which referring to the filter function as a basis function occurs.

I would think that conceptually that a basis function is different form a filter function because a basis function is usually about transforming a point in one space to some different space, and basis functions come in a set that’s the size of the dimensionality of the target space. Filters, even if you can think of the function as a sort of basis, aren’t meant for changing spaces or encoding & decoding against a different basis than the signal. Filters transform the signal but keep it in the same space it started from, and the filter is singular and might lose data.

May be better if I just link to what others say about filters than me trying to blabber on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_(signal_processing)
> State funding has risks but may be the most effective option.

State funding doesn't solve the problem of getting good journalism. It just means journalism is biased in favor of the state, instead of biased in favor of whatever ideology the private owner has. If anything, bias in favor of the state is worse. Pravda and Isvestia in the Soviet Union were even less reliable than our mainstream media is now.

Show HN: I built an AI Bureaucratic Advisor for U.S.
Hi HN,

Over the past eight months, I've been working on an AI-powered bureaucratic advisor called "Clerkly" during my spare time. It's designed to help users navigate nearly all bureaucratic issues in the U.S., making it easier to deal with government processes. The aim is to make this technology accessible to a wide audience and empower citizens in their interactions with various government agencies.

What Can Clerkly Do?

Clerkly is knowledgeable about U.S. regulations, data from government websites, and much more. Whether you need help with tax accounting, understanding public benefits, or other bureaucratic hurdles, Clerkly aims to assist you.

Technical Details:

*How Does It Work?*
The service utilize forrest of agent LLMs, reranking models, and graph databases to offer solutions that are both affordable and user-friendly.

*Data Sources*
All data is open-source, primarily acquired through the U.S. Open Data initiative at data.gov.

I would love for you to check it out, give it a try, and share your feedback. Your insights will be invaluable in pushing this project forward and ensuring it meets the needs of everyday users dealing with bureaucratic challenges.

Thanks for your time and attention!
Doctors don't ask for your name and DoB to verify that your bits are in order. They do it to verify the identity of the patient.

Authentication is literally: any process used to verify the identity of someone. The definition holds no requirement for any level of certainty, or anything else for that matter.

Asking someone for their name and DoB is just weak authentication. The fact that is it not an adversarial scenario is why weak authentication works just fine for the use case.

This is an illustration why there is no such thing as a universally "good authentication" or "bad authentication". A good authentication design depends entirely on the specific problem being solved.

SQLite being released in the public domain has to be up there as one of the greatest gifts ever given to the global software development community. I'd love to know what led to the licensing decision. The wide-open rights to use it however you see fit have undoubtedly enabled countless applications to exist that otherwise would have been very, very difficult to create - especially mobile apps.

Whatever money Dr. Hipp makes from SQLite it is surely not enough relative to the value that it has provided to millions of people.
