Case in point, going to a funeral the post code for the crematorium was for a 2km stretch of road, and going by foot I realised my folly and so had to run to make it time.
Here's my process http://theroadchoseme.com/how-i-self-published-a-professiona...
I've noticed the same issue in the UK. When searching online, I have to be much more specific, or the results are irrelevant. For instance, if I'm trying to find information about a well-known company, I can't just type its name. I need to include what the company does, or else the search results are useless. For example, when looking for a page on a top recruiting company, I have to add "recruiters" at the end of the search query, even though it's one of the biggest names in the industry.
Yeah. It's not just that as well. Last week I was out for a walk with some friends and one of them left her android phone somewhere. She does everything on her phone. Unfortunately she found out she can't log into her google account without an SMS and she can't move her number to another SIM because the account details and MFA are also on the lost phone. Various attempts to contact Google have resulted in being redirected to the community for help and that's it. Her whole digital life shelved.

Now I know this is partially end user incompetence but both platforms sold her the MFA option without a backup leaving her in the mire.

Having been burned with my gmail account being hosed a number of years ago I keep everything separated, portable and backed up offline these days as well.

Hi HN!

I recently discovered Perplexity.ai and I was amazed! I built a product this past weekend that I felt should just exist in the world.

With a knowledge engine such as Perplexity, a realtime fact checking platform is now feasible. DeepFact runs in the background as you speak and actively extracts claims and fact checks them.

The app is built using NextJS, Deepgram API(nova-2 model) for speech to text, and Perplexity API(llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-chat) for real-time fact checking.

It is completely free, just add your own API keys to give it a try. There's also a simulated demo using Elon-Trump's interview on X if you just want to see how it works.

Ideally this product would be used to fact check any conversation in realtime: public speeches/presentations, lectures, meetings, debates, podcasts. The use cases seem endless.

There are times where it fails and hallucinates source URLs or it cites itself. There is plenty of room to improve the fact-checking algs.

Please try it out and I would love to hear any feedback or comments on how this could be used and ways to improve it. Thanks!

Most of policing is scarecrow. Deterrence is the name of the game. One time my credit card number was stolen, and they purchased airline tickets for more than $1000. I reported it, but was told nothing would happen. They already have police at the airport, I can’t imagine how it could be easier to catch the thief, but no effort was even given.
No sympathy here. Ive been using AI for all sorts of tasks, but at the same time, going back and carefully reviewing the output or testing the code and making my own revisions. I think it's useful for giving it a request and doing something else while it creates a baseline. You still need to take that baseline and know what to do with it. Otherwise, blind leading the blind?

These large companies have to deal with large amounts of spam, scammers, and regulations. If you come close to resembling or running afoul of any them, It’s just easier to ban you rather than spend the time and money to see if you’re legit.

Until there’s legislation prohibiting this, it’s just going to continue and the broad brushes will likely broaden.

Ask HN: Would you use an AI-powered seeker-provider platform?
I'm considering building an app where users can post things they are looking for and things they are offering / selling to the world.
The app would then automatically match the people that need something (e.g. sublease in SF from dates X -> Y), with matching providers (e.g. I have a sublease in SF from X -> Y)

## Some potential use cases

Searcher

- Find subleases faster

- Find someone that can teach you something

- Find services and products you can use for your situation

- Look for jobs that fit your CV

Provider

- Sell your services to the people that need your solution the most

- Sell objects like FB Marketplace but automatically be matched to the best fitting buyer

- Hire faster

## User Flow:

1. User is looking for a sublease

2. User launches the app and tell the app that “I am looking for a sublease in SF from these dates. Looking for a place with no cats”

3. Once submitted, the app analyzes the query and uses AI to search through the list of posts on the platform - this happens every hour until a match is found. The result is the perfect sublease that matches the user’s needs

4. Two parties are connected via a chat interface

The use cases are very broad and assumes the network has been fully fired up.

## Questions for HN:

1. What would you post on this platform?

2. What would you offer as a service?

The challenge here is that the app’s usecase feels very braod. I took the example of subleasing but I could imagine sales and even founders coming on here to both offer and seek resources.
The 7600x used 28% more energy than the 5600x to get those big gains. That’s not a small amount - it kept me from upgrading my SFF. My guess is that if you power limited the 7600x, the generational gains would look more linear.

I'm pretty sure I'm fairly far from your target customer, given that I'm not building products, and right now my only usage of fly.io is to host a tiny app that expects to be used a few times per year by my spouse and me.

Having said that, the reason why I personally would be happier with the ability to set a hard cap is that if I'm going to put a project on fly.io, I'm spending my own personal money on it. If I'm spending my own personal money on it, I want a guarantee that it cannot possibly cost more than a given amount. When it's my own money on the line, I absolutely want the service to shut down rather than have even 0.01% chance of costing me a lot of money.

The moment I'm actually building something for a business, the moment it's company money instead of personal money, then priorities change and everything you're saying makes sense. But as long as I'm just a single developer playing with stuff and billing it to my personal credit card, I want that guarantee that I won't accidentally make myself go broke.

Is curl able to retry from the middle of a file? Beyond the sane defaults that's where wget has been nice for me; if the connection drops it can pick right back up where it left off.
A lot of people here are extrapolating from current tech, not realising that “quantity has a quality all of its own.”

For one, ubiquitous terabit Internet would completely eliminate the need for local compute and storage in most form factors.

About 60 Gbps is enough for 8K uncompressed video! You wouldn’t need a GPU or a PC to put it in. Just run everything in the cloud and access it like a virtual desktop. This is already commonplace in large enterprise.

One issue with such virtual desktops is latency. Their disks are expensive to move around to follow users so the virtual PC doesn’t move and mobile users have to access them from far away. With terabit Internet a 1TB operating system disk could be moved to a nearby point of presence in about ten seconds. Alternatively the OS could start booting instantly from the remote disk and stream the rest in the background later.

In other words, computing would be more like in Star Trek: there would just be this “ambient” compute you can interface with anywhere without thinking about data or device locality.
We are already there! Humans misrepresent data on purpose in the media all the time in order to create misinformation and sway opinions. If anything AI creates deniability, "Oh our so and so used gpt, woops!"...
> is the German postcode not used for transaction validation?

No. The only time I have ever been asked for a post code was when a petrol pump in the US demanded my zip code. I have no idea what it meant, I just put some random zip code for the general area I was in and it was accepted. I've never been asked for my post code in Europe; I can't speak for the whole of Europe though, just UK, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway.

Nope it's dirty wax.
I tried the quiz after reading the mailing list message and got three of them right. (I didn't study Greek long enough to get all the way through the verb paradigm and I haven't used it very regularly since then.) So yeah, I don't get the claim that nobody could play this quiz. I think I have friends who would get all of them right offhand. It's no more complicated than knowing the difference between "hablo", "hablaré", "hablé", "hablaba", "hablado", and "hablando" in Spanish, except that fewer people study ancient Greek than modern Spanish (and the older Indo-European languages do more stem-mutation between tenses, so it can be a bit more effort to memorize).

The worst part of this format is probably that if you did "quiz english greek" it wouldn't accept any form of accent or breathing marks, even though these are also standardized in beta code and some people would probably try to type them, like "e)luon" to show that there's no /h/ sound at the beginning of that word. And I don't think typing beta code in between dollar signs is a very common convention today, but the quiz would require it; you can't just type "luw", you have to type "$luw$".

> I had a similar situation with PayPal when I opened a business account for the first time. Minutes after opening the account I was perma-banned and I was told there was no appeal.

So... what did you do that got you banned?

I know it's popular to hate on PayPal, but they're not in the business of banning people, they're in the business of facilitating payments. Banning people for literally no reason doesn't serve that cause.

Almost every time, when you pull on threads from this sort of story, it unravels into high-risk accounts receiving unusual payments from unusual places all within a limited timeframe where PayPal (or any payments processor for the matter) doesn't have time to evaluate your legitimacy.

Your story might be the one out of a thousand that was on the wrong end of a rouge bot or something, but I have serious doubts.

PayPal processes billions of dollars of payments annually. They don't do that by banning everyone for no reason. Did you use a VPN to deceive them on your location? Did you try to open a business account in the US despite being a UK citizen? Something you did tripped their system into believing you are/were not legitimate, and it's likely you would have also been banned from other similar-tier payment processors, such as CyberSource, Authorize.net, etc.
Is it like the 32Sii where it has some weird approximator which sometimes gives you high or low estimates of correctness for the fractions? That really killed it for me back in the day.
With negative GABA receptor allosteric modulators there's the potential for excitotoxicity. GABA receptors are there to counteract excessive excitatory activity after all. Likely there's a small therapeutic dosage window.

Fast CAMs are (relatively) expensive, is the excuse I always hear.
Well either the typing glue or the library itself if it's written in TypeScript. My point was: the types are too damn complicated. Way too complicated for what they achieve. Almost always.
I started writing this comment by saying:

Exactly - the whole point of a cloud provider is scalability. If you're doing a personal hobby project, get off big scalable clouds and get yourself one (or multiple!) fixed-price VPS or dedicated servers.

But as I think of it, I think what people really want, for hobby projects, is not so much the scalability, but the managed offerings. They want zero-ops, zero-maintenance, zero-server-updates hosting, with a fixed price and hard limits. It won't be infinitely scalable, but it doesn't need to be - it's a hobby project.

They just don't wanna sysadmin a server of their own. Which is completely understandable.

There's room in the market for something like this.

Separating fully would be nice and the most safe. Intersections are probably a good balance of safe vs associated capital & maintenance costs. American "stroad" design definitely results in a lot of well-documented unsafety. This is because speed differences are a huge contributor of accidents and humans are basically stationary. That's why a separate bike lane is needed when bikes are going full speed and why many civilized countries have separate passing and flow of traffic lanes and why "driving too slow" is as much of a ticket as "driving too fast".

> After several stroads were replaced by more efficient roadways in Boston, vehicular fatalities fell from 21 in 2016 to 10 in 2018; simultaneously, pedestrian fatalities halved from 14 to 7.[41] This partial success motivated Bostonian locals to demand the complete elimination of the remaining stroads by implementing better road design.[41]

Agree. I wish OpenRouter did something like that so that we can have only 1 vendor and app can decide themself what AI API want to use. Then user don't need to have digital wallets topped up with money for 3+ different AI vendors. Basically you want to have something similar to crypto wallet that you can easily fill with money and authorize apps.
Then you wont make any money
They can bugger off. I had my dinner ruined by some Instagram celebrities earlier this year who were flying around with a DSLR filming some food and screaming a lot. The staff were visibly pissed off but too afraid to tell them to go away and stop annoying the customers in case it reflected badly on their restaurant. Everyone was held ransom.
Because that's where the users are.

F-Droid is a novelty for an extremely small niche of users. You can't reach most users, and you can't charge them money through the app store. You have to figure out payment processing and licensing yourself.

No, F-Droid will not replace google play for most users, nor developers who want to make money.
It’s just a randomwared bike at this point. Fucking useless
Unless someone explicitly told you that’s the reason for the original takedown, I’m deeply skeptical you’ve got it right. That’s especially true with the chorus of redditors saying they also use that function.

I realize you didn’t find anything else that looked like it crossed stuff up, but I’d bet money the bot was looking at something entirely different.

For one, looking at the API docs for SleepTimeout doesn’t suggest it changes the saved OS-level user settings. It’s just a screen keep-awake like many games use without permission. And for another, I’m pretty sure for minor stuff that can be easily remedied they don’t nuke your app listing to the ground so you can’t remedy it.

Even the bit where they nuked your entire account on reupload implies a pretty good chance that whatever was offending the scan was still in there. I doubt they insta-ban everyone who uploads a similar app again unless it somehow registers as evasion.

That bot was almost certainly identifying your app as a scam—or you as a scammer—for some other reason. It’s possibly not even one that would make sense to you. That’s the problem with bots. But I just really doubt it’s for the reason you’re guessing.

> I truly think the general public have not been adequately warned that they cannot trust the outputs of LLMs.

to the contrary, every company now advertises using "AI" (the latest handle for LLMs) to "solve X" with maybe some small print somewhere about the side effects, much like medication advertising

Did you see Google's ad during the Olympics? No mention of hallucinations that I recall (also probably the stupidest use case for LLMs they could have thought up; pretty shocking).
Consciousness the human introspective condition and consciousness awareness are two separate aspects of the same thing.

"Hidden consciousness" is something someone says, who has never been high.

You squares have to get out more.

I attest to you, you have much more consciousness than you are aware of, or even in control of (involuntary systems may be accessed through consciousness).

Your elementary consciousness will be the last of life to fleet from you when your time comes.

Your deeper consciousness safeguards your waking consciousness, so it is worth developing (do some meditation or something.) Science of the mind is in an infantile state.
I had this thought with a personal project but I got lost in a nightmare of configuration between typescript, node, the browser, my bundler etc.

Maybe it’s a better time with a framework like Next, which I assume comes with the client / server code sharing part preconfigured, bun looked promising as well to simplify the development setup. But I ended up switching to another language for my backend and I feel pretty good about it.
FYI there are two ways to keep the screen on at the native API level: a window flag (screen doesn't turn off while your window is active) or a WakeLock (screen doesn't turn off while your app is running, even in background). Neither of them affects any settings. Changing device settings actually requires a permission that you declare in the manifest that the user then has to manually grant.

I'm pretty sure the developer did absolutely nothing wrong. Google's AI is just full of shit like it's always been. This stuff happens all the time and the best way to resolve it is to know one of their developer relations people. Yes, they actually have employees whose only job is to talk to developers.
