It is, as far as being a math problem, somewhat boring. The numbers themselves are equivalent to a random number. There is certainly no significance to the numbers themselves, especially as this is all in the decimal representation, which is very 'us' specific.

It does represent something 'interesting' that is easy to observe and wonder about, and for the non-math person it leads to slightly better understanding of 'normal' numbers, of the difference in representation ( these answers are base specific), and a very small amount of simple computer science.

The notion of world record is of course tongue in cheek. No one really needs to know these numbers, nor will they rememeber them! But at least there is an entry in OEIS!

Ask HN: Isn't all SaaS just wrappers?
I'm not sure if I can think of any SAAS product that isn't another wrapper or abstraction around code, database, another service etc... I just don't understand why people seem so upset about these new companies being GPT wrappers.

SAAS brings the cool things people build in our insular computing community to the general user in an intuitive way, and that's celebrated. Not sure why these "GPT Wrapper" companies are getting so much hate.

Really depends on the item/product, but for example I only purchase uniterruptable power supplies from CostCo, because if it breaks I can get a new one immediately without shipping fees.

For hard drives, I usually wait for OfficeMax sales/coupons, and then stock up.

Sometimes I have to drive to Atlanta (about three hours, round trip) but there are some incredible electronic parts stores in huge cities.

Regardless of what/where I purchase, I always open items inside the store (before leaving, near the customer service desk) because I have literally had "new" items contain hazmat returns (e.g. a "new" septic pump, a la feces).
Remember that bullshit demo video where it drops the guy off in front of the office and parks itself? I don't understand how Elon isn't behind bars by now. How many staged demo videos have we seen? How many promises? These silly investor presentations where he makes wild claims? Robotaxis? The Cybertruck being built for Mars? It's one lie after another.

The amounts by which he's inflated the company's value and his own net worth with his lies and scams dwarfs Bernie Madoff. He's lied to squeeze short sellers who are onto his bullshit. He ran that Dogecoin pump and dump. The scale and audacity of his schemes are truly epic.

This seems like a legit way to do it. When I use ChatGPT, I treat it kind of like the Enterprise Computer. It's capable of providing information, interpreting data, conjecture, and suggestions using context.

The weakest use of AI is definitely treating it like a lossy database of everything it's learned.

"Explicit" is to be understood as asking for STARTTLS on OSI Level 7 instead of Level 4. If the client cannot establish an encrypted connection, the attempt is aborted in the first place. Of course, there is the hazard as in HTTPS that an MITM attacker might somehow cause a downgrade to the unencrypted protocol variant.

A lot of B2C market has been tapped and the faucets are relatively low right now.
While B2B startups are able to raise rounds, usually because they either require talent or resources or they need time for research for innovation.

While B2C is an already defined segment hence pretty much any one can enter but surviving long enough and providing support and updates for relatively new technologies, is difficult.

Hence it is like air and water both on two different levels. Either they drown or they fly. BTW Cursory raised $8M https://www.cursor.com/blog/series-a

I'll echo this sentiment. LLMs have made it so easy to create bash scripts to make things easier, write code in languages I don't write in, or even just for writing up the README.md just based on the code I've written.

I just finished my initial prototype for a Raspberry Pi Zero W based audio recorder. These are all the things it does:
- It has a single button connected to GPIO that starts/stops recording
- An LED indicator connected to GPIO
- Queries the available recording devices, choosing the external USB audio interface if available and setting the appropriate bit-depth
- Launches ALSA's `arecord` in a subprocess to handle the actual recording (<5% CPU on a Pi Zero W when recording 48k @ 32bit)
- The script is setup as a system service
- Nginx is running to serve up the WAV files using a web UI
- There is a simple service to start/stop recording and get status via an API the web UI can use

It is all in Python, which I don't really write, but is the default for these kind of Pi projects. 100% of the code, service definitions, Nginx config, README.md, etc were written by LLMs, mostly Claude.

hand creating these seems like a mistake, i.e, like you said hard to maintain. In my opinion every database should generate (or have a tool) to generate diagrams automatically.

I feel it's mainly envy. Building SaaS is relatively easier than a database company, and in many cases SaaS earns more than many others.

Andrew is a web server to help you write a web page like you're back in the 90s. It consumes and renders web pages from the file system, no databases involved. This is the basic design restriction that informs feature decisions. You get started by writing an "index.html" file and then running Andrew from that directory.

It helps with some chores that show up with filesystem based sites, like allowing you to embed a {{ go template }} that'll be replaced with an automatically generated table of contents, automatically rendering a sitemap.xml and a few other things.

It can load a private key and cert for SSL traffic, so it's just a little lightweight tool that does one thing reasonably decently.

I'm just reading the activitypub RFC so I can add support for federated identity. I'm pretty excited.

Residency is pretty much for sale in the UAE. However it is virtually impossible to be naturalized in the UAE through the official route. Most of the country is foreign born and there are lots of benefits to being a citizen so this deliberate. It requires something like 30 years of uninterrupted residency. Most people who get it are basically granted citizenship by a king. That’s why when you look at the list of Emiratis on Wikipedia the ones who aren’t Arab are almost entirely elite athletes and businessmen with political connections. It’s interesting that France and the UAE granted him citizenship and hacked his phone together.
‘Cause they suck. They are like NFTs or furry art. Either one of those things could be good but people who are in the culture refuse to see that there is good art and bad art because they have the ideology hat a certain attribute means “it is all good.”
Another thing are gutters that require constant maintenance, and fail anyway. With good eaves and correct drainage around the house you can build without gutters like they did for centuries, and eliminate this finicky maintenance problem.
Neither direction works. More directly (since I was working it out as I typed above):

A NonEmptyList promises that its .Head method will always produce a value. An inherited List can not maintain that property, it must add either an error return or a possible exception (which is the same thing from this point of view), and so violates the LSP.

A List promises that if it has an element, you can remove it and have another List, whether by mutation or returning a new List. A NonEmptyList breaks that promise. If that sounds like a "so what", bear in mind that "removing an element" includes things like a "Filter" method, or a "split" method, or any of several other such methods beyond just iteration that a List is likely to have that a NonEmptyList is going to need a different type signature and/or exception profile to implement properly.

You could define a bare-bones superclass for both of them that allows indexing, iteration, appending, and a length method, without much else, and that does work. However, if you start trying to get very granular with that, across more data structures, you'll start to need multiple inheritance and that becomes a mess really quickly. There's a reason that, for instance, the C++ STL does not go the "inheritance hierarchy" route for this stuff.

Like I said, inheritance done properly is really restrictive. We often do a lot of sweeping under the rug without even realizing it, and that "works" but it still eats away at the architecture, all the more so if the people involved don't even realize what they are doing.
> That said, in an idealized, socialist country, people can choose whether they work or stay home raising a family, and nobody has to work to make ends meet.

The idea that socialism or whatever government system would mean that nobody has to do any work is only appealing to downwardly-mobile elite children, which America has a lot of, and who mainly like to live in Brooklyn, start political podcasts and do drugs.

People really actually have to grow food and clean the bathroom - the point of economic systems is to get them to do it, not to get them to not do it.

> Tesla's FSD has killed people [1]

I looked at the very first one on the list and it says someone drunk in a non-Tesla hit a Tesla and resulted in a death of the Tesla driver.

> According to the Albuquerque Police Department, on July 1, Sandoval-Martinez was driving drunk, speeding, and without a license when he ran a red light and hit Tiger Gutierrez’s Tesla, as well as a Toyota Corolla.

Not sure why the website is putting that under a Tesla death, probably to inflate counts since there aren't many Tesla deaths due to them being very safe cars.

Why are you attributing and referencing these incidents as FSD killing people?
Short answer is "yes".

I've had my house for 25 years now. There are a lot of inexpensive details in it found nowhere else that have paid off handsomely.

For example, the washer and water heater are in the basement. The concrete floor under them is slightly sloped, leading to a drain. I've had multiple failures with washing machine hoses and leaks, and leaking hot water heaters. They resulted in zero damage, unlike in other places I lived.

Another one is Seattle homes always have wooden decks. The decks rot after a while, sometimes killing people when they collapse. The rot comes from being endlessly damp, and the local ants nesting in them. The last such deck I had I sawed off of the house, and it collapsed into a pile of sawdust. I was horrified.

So my current house has a concrete deck. Yay, no problems at all!

Here's another goodie. Never, ever, ever have the driveway slope towards your garage. Your garage will inevitably flood. A gutter in front of the door won't help, as it will clog with leaves, sticks, ice, and slush, and your garage will flood.

Also have the garage floor slope ever so slightly towards the door. The only way you can tell mine is sloped is its a lot harder to push the car into the garage than push it out. The slope helps if a car has a major malfunction, and you don't want oil/gas/antifreeze soaking into the walls.

What was weird is the architect and the general contractor were completely uninterested in these things.
Show HN: Markdown to Spreadsheet Converter
I built this tool to solve a personal pain point when working with AI-generated data. Often, when requesting structured data from AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude, I'd receive Markdown tables instead of spreadsheet-compatible formats.
Key features:

Converts Markdown tables to spreadsheet-compatible format
No signup required, works in-browser
Option to copy converted data or download as .tsv
Designed for quick, hassle-free conversions

I'm open to feedback and suggestions for improvements. What features would make this tool more useful for you?

Addendum: I just ran some scripts to see what attackers are trying. They probe various funny user names but there doesn't appear to be any system behind it. They are all short names. The vast majority of them are nothing but lower case letters. A few have underscores and digits, as well as dashes and periods. Some are digits only. A few are using glyph characters:

!
!!!
?
#$

I suspect that the user IDs being tried are all targeting known passwords that have been obtained before. I.e. they are probing "where else on the planet has the same user ID used that same password".

The valid users they are trying are:

Given the history of how we consume stuff like forever chemicals, BPA, roundup pesticides, carcinogenic makeup, and the negligence involved in the Ohio chemical spill and perhaps Boeing, you are very trusting.

It's evident that some of those trusting people are willing to make or save a buck while putting you at risk.

At the end of it, people should probably make their own assessment as to whether they should put themselves at risk. And I don't mind drying a handful of dishes if the alternative is to lace them all with surfactant.

I do believe that ChatGPT as a programmer productivity tool is its most valuable value proposition to date. In addition to generating code, it makes it much easier for me to chase down obscure error messages and potential root causes and workarounds. It's definitely not perfect. But, as part of the Interact->Generate->Verify cycle that modern AI has transformed other disciplines (eg. materials science, protein folding, mathematics, and more), it serves as a valuable component of each of these.
