Dunno what you would call it, but the idea is this:

* Hire a bunch of people with psychological background, who then spend 3-4 years going around colleges and companies across the world, interviewing the outliers of society (i.e career criminals, smart people that have made contributions to technology or science, serial killers, hermits, brilliant mathematicians, neurodivergent people, charismatic leaders, and so on). Would also need a good dataset of "normal" people in society.

* Figure out how to encode all the data in deterministic ways. The domain of that data should be able do sufficiently encompass a persons life on Earth with a good degree of accuracy. This is the hard part, but the domain is finite, so its just busy work.

* Train a neural network to predict a multi-dimentional impact on society.

* Reverse the neural network.

* Short term, build a dating app for immediate monetization.

* Long term, refine the data set, build out a test that people can take that lets you determine their "eventual aptitude" for technology - i.e doesn't have to be up front knowledge or skill, just the ability to be trained to be a great problem solver. Now you can simply find people to hire across the world, spin off a department, get those people trained up on modern tech, and point them at a problem.
Does your brain completely stop doing anything between verbal statements (output)? An LLM does stop doing stuff between requests to generate a string of language tokens (their entire purpose). When not actually generating tokens, an LLM doesn't sit there and think things like "Was what I just said correct?" or "Hmm. That was an interesting discussion. I think I'll go research more on the topic". Nope. It just sits there idle, waiting for another request to generate text. Does your brain ever sit 100% completely idle?
LOL, I liked to describe Montreal as 'France done the American way' when I was there once for a week couple years ago.
I do dev work on mostly node/web projects that use npm. Pretty much everything I do involves docker. I typically write a docker file that copies package.json/package-lock.json into the image, then run npm install. That way the rebuild cycle is fast if the package.json file doesn't change and the node_modules are inside the container. Then I bind-mount all the src files that I'm working on so that live reload will work.
I always assumed Microsoft did not condone Wine or other re-implementations of their APIs (like ReactOS), but that they were protected by DMCA reverse engineering provisions and anyway too insignificant to send the legal team after.

Wikipedia says,

> Until 2020, Microsoft had not made any public statements about Wine. ... On 16 February 2005, Ivan Leo Puoti discovered that Microsoft had started checking the Windows Registry for the Wine configuration key and would block the Windows Update for any component. As Puoti noted: "It's also the first time Microsoft acknowledges the existence of Wine."

> In January 2020, Microsoft cited Wine as a positive consequence of being able to reimplement APIs, in its amicus curiae brief for Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc.
I think good, true, but rare information would also fit that definition so it'd be a shame if it discovered something that could save humanity but then discounted it as probably not accurate.
Autoimmune responses are well known with some vaccines and some conditions, such as GBS. Most real experts know that vaccines carry all sorts of risks. It's the general public that is mostly unaware and would find this sort of thing surprising. It's the whole "safe" vs "generally safe" thing.
All omnivores are vicious. It's kind of an evolutionary necessity.

Same going to a coffee shop is now a luxury reserved only for vacations, or if I want to meet someone outside home.

Starbucks has become my goto, because of their app, ubiquity, and consistency. Coffee culture, similar to wine culture is blown out of proportion. I drink an Americano and Starbucks is just fine.

What? We did "trickle-down" economics before. Surprisingly enough, it didn't work. At all.

Also, back in the 1950s/60s, we thoroughly soaked the rich and got to go to the moon[0]. Then the 1970s came around and the new gen of wealthies were all "yeah nah, that sucked, let's do something about it!"[1]

ChatGPT struggles mightily with the simple task of ordering the presidents by the year they were born. It got the order wrong, the years wrong and there were duplicates.

I had to explicitly tell it to verify its sources on the web and use Python

https://chatgpt.com/share/27ffea74-b3c0-478e-a6f4-3aca9e3e64...

Then I just changed the initial prompt

https://chatgpt.com/share/5f44924f-4b2c-4d26-92e2-cf3b398cf2...

“ Create a list of presidents with the first column being the year they were born and the second their name. Order the list by the first column.

Use Python and verify the ages on the web”

If you have working telex, fax isn't an upgrade.
My experience reflects this, generally speaking.

I've found that GPT-4o is better than Sonnet 3.5 at writing in certain languages like rust, but maybe that's just because I'm better at prompting openai models.

Latest example I recently ran was a rust task that went 20 loops without getting a successful compile in sonnet 3.5, but compiled and was correct with gpt-4o on the second loop.
My big complaint with claude is that it burns up all its credits as fast as possible and then gives up; We'll get about half way through a problem and claude will be trying to rewrite its not very good code for the 8th time without being asked and next thing I know I'm being told I have 3 messages left.

Pretty much insta cancelled my subscription. If I was throwing a few hundred API calls at it, every min, ok, sure, do what you gotta do, but the fact that I can burn out the AI credits just by typing a few questions over the course of half a morning is just sad.
Much like the LLMs, in a few years their capabilities will be much improved and you won't have to.
Apparently this is the smoking gun and Trump is going to become dictator for life? Is this where we are in the debate? You might as well be talking about what kind of ice-cream he likes then.
> That’s a sign of a problem imho.

Shoehorning? Definitely bad.

"There's a new technology out there that makes new things possible, let's explore whether it makes sense to integrate it into what we're doing?" - not only is that the correct attitude, in the long run it's the only attitude that keeps companies alive assuming they have exposure to tech.

See the internet/web revolution, the mobile revolution, etc.

I'm confused about some of the implications regarding crowd infections.

Certainly for some of these -- say, Chicken Pox -- we know that early and controlled exposure is preferable to a first case later in life. And that the cycle of herd immunity in survivors leads to endemicity and less deadly strains.

It seems like both things can be true: it's best not to get infections at all, but if you live in a world where you will get infected, doing so early and outside a correlated epidemic can be advantageous. And, while our immune system evolved for a different social density, it still plays a critical role in mitigating the long-term collective impact of crowd infections.

Actually when acting as an agent of the government he does NOT have the right to try to influence people to deprive Americans of their rights.

Oh wow! Sorry about that. Empty aisles, i.e. a true shortage, only happens due to an artificially low price -- do you know what is holding the price down in this case? Perhaps price gouging laws? Or (misguided) big chain stores' policies against big price increases?

I recommend little mom-and-pop stores. Typically they feel free to quietly charge a market-clearing price.
Not biome, but it is pretty trivial to track:

- Brushing pressure

- How long you brush

- When you brush

- Where you brush (tracking orientation and motion)

With that, you might see some trend of "you brush your left-back-bottom teeth a little harder than the rest, and you're not quite getting your front middle teeth very well".

Now, if that data is actually useful logged and analyzed is another question.

I've got a toothbrush that theoretically has bluetooth connectivity support. I've never used it. But I do like there's a colorful ring that lights up to show the brushing pressure and I do like the 30 second timer feature to help ensure I brush each area of my mouth about the same amount of time. Neither require bluetooth and an app though.
Why not first person? I assumed the system prompt was like internal monologue.

The first step is just to build enough renewables and enough battery to last one average day. That gets you to 95% of reducing CO2. Then you can think about if it even makes sense to replace those cloudy yet/windless days.

We just need to spend on the most economic places to save CO2.
There's a poor man's Ozempic: metformin. It causes weight loss, and they seem to have figured out why. It stimulates the production of the signaling molecule "Lac-Phe" (N-lactoyl phenylalanine), which is normally produced in cells after high intensity exercise, and reduces appetite.

Metformin is a small, simple molecule that has long fallen out of patent, and is available very cheaply.

If your own nervous habits lead you to checking work emails outside of work, it sounds like you were preoccupied with thoughts about work regardless of whether or not you received an email. No, the correct solution if you can't ignore a notification is to either block notifications from work apps entirely, or to create a notification schedule that blocks work apps outside of given hours. That schedule should be made during work hours, of course.
>Most real experts know that vaccines carry all sorts of risks

And that's why all the real experts made sure to properly communicate the risks vs benefits of the Covid vaccine in an age, sex, and dose-stratified fashion, right? Oh wait...
People got generous during COVID and businesses are trying to take advantage of that and extend it to beyond COVID.

During COVID I would tip my normal sitdown restaurant amount for takeout. But not anymore.
The extra code might there to determine your spending habits across other apps and your bank balance and then to determine where you're located so that it can provide information on regional affluence so they can price toothpaste & brushes higher in strategic regions...

That's just an example guess, but the bloat is there for a purpose... I'm pretty sure the app gets updated on intervals too, just like so many others under the guise of "security or functional updates".

We're in an era where data is weaponized for profit maximization... The most simple and seemingly benign data sets when combined strategically can work against consumers deeply.

We need app audit boards now, maybe even on a government level, and specific detail of everything apps do to be displayed in app stores. There should be serious consequences if apps are found to do things that are not detailed in their release/update descriptions. This collected data can persist forever, and be used in some of the most destructive ways.

Device/OS makers also need to do better at preventing/partitioning non-essential apps from collecting data they don't need access to...

Likely reasons why this isn't already in place is because most don't know how it happens, and many others are invested in these companies, so they turn a blind eye on regulation of them.
>NASA is a political jobs program

This is the truth, and while you could frame it as a negative, I see it as a huge positive.

Because NASA has been subsidizing space for decades the US has a tremendous among of trained workers for aero-space. It was exactly that workforce that venture-capital based space industry was able to source talent from. I doubt spaceX would have been possible without NASA dumping billions into boondoggles. Now it is self-reinforcing. NASA trained talent for/funds industry, industry now trains talent for/supplies NASA. Space economy the easy way, just costs a few hundred billion bootstrap it.

I did this. I spent 10 minutes diffing, only a few things weren't listed. One was just full of cursing and not a useful piece of discussion. Another was a comment claiming that Trans was a concept made up 2 years ago.

So far seems working as intended.

What might be more useful is to get your nerd hat on and run a few diffs through sentiment analysis and post that as a topic. I'd definitely read a ML / Sentiment Analysis / Bias analysis type document, would be a great topic.
Eh, I dunno.

Websites have definitely gotten over-complicated and quite annoying. But this retro “look like a terminal” style seems like the wrong direction.

I like fixed width fonts in a terminal where it is very likely that I’ll have to interact with columns of text as a thing.

For reading, I mean, LaTeX was invented a million years ago, and can produce nicely formatted text. That should be the target IMO. If you want to copy something retro, copy an old magazine, they were nicely designed.

But I mean, I’ll take this over a program trying to run in my browser, lol.
As far as I can tell from the article, the primary coolant loop extends to the surface, and that's a key aspect of the proposal. Obviously not everything is very far down. The idea certainly is cute, but potential failure modes look more like What If? scenarios than anything else.
I only have the app installed so I can check my battery percentage.
The app can tell you which teeth are correctly cleaned (i.e. you spend enough time on it) and which teeth you forgot or went too fast.

Personally I just used it once and ended up removing it, but I can see some people using it to ensure their brushing is efficient.

Anyway, it's completely optional, you can just use the brush ignoring the existence of the app.

I think the Canadian living in the US that you responded to was close to the mark. Most Americans have little contact with Canadians and many think of Canada abstractly, but not very accurately, as a European-like country located above the US. Beyond this abstract idea, most Americans don't have any reason to think about Canada on a regular basis.

Also, Canadians may not think of themselves as Americans, but young Anglo-Canadians are products of American culture. I roomed in college with one for a year and nothing was distinctly non-American about him besides the accent.
> By failing to pass any meaningful data privacy protections, Congress has allowed tech companies to profit from endangering abuse survivors for over 25 years. This must end.

Here, in America? Where we profit off the business of data extraction, push the limitation of liability further than ever before, and rely on informal solicitation to defend national security?

Yeah, it must end. I've penciled it in next to pigs flying and the first delivery of icewater to hell on my calendar for never.
As Arthur Schopenhauer said: “Buying books would be a good thing if you could also buy the time to read them” People think that everything can be solved by an app, “if you can’t do it without it probly won’t with it either”
> If you have a hundred adapters, and a thousand customers, your development costs per customer should be lower than DIY could reach

Hmm I don't think so because I think software complexity isn't linear. Meaning going from 1 unit of complexity to 2 is probably much, much easier than going from 99 to 100.
>We can see that not all obstacles make you stronger. Destroy the cartilage in your knee, and it may never fully recover, since cartilage doesn’t grow back. //

I'm not a medic but I recall this being disproven or shown to be at least partially a myth a few years ago - https://physicians.dukehealth.org/articles/humans-have-salam... from 2020, for example. Researchers showed that ankle cartilage is younger than knee- and younger still than hip cartilage. Indicating that it grows back in ankles relatively quickly.

As the article says, analogies can mislead us, but this didn't inspire confidence.

I could probably dismiss it if the article weren't about being scientifically precise and dispelling myths relating to human biology.

Good piece, but the title is misleading too as the conclusion appears to be "it's complicated; yes and no".

>if you've been a stable nation for century+

Quebec has tried to separate twice in the past 50 years, and comes within a Brexit's margin of actually getting it done (and if it wasn't for Montreal, they'd already be gone).

The seed of that separation was, naturally, caused by a military conflict between what would become Western Canada and what used to be Upper Canada.

Canada isn't actually as stable a country as Ottawa might have you believe.
Pidgin (and its OTR plugin) used to be the most popular client for OTR (Off-The-Record, an encryption protocol) messaging. That was my experience about 10 years ago and back then I think the plugins were known to be a weak point in its security.
Tracking the temperature and time of cooking is only one part about grilling meats. There's still cutting the meat, ingredients in the rub, applying the rub, the cooldown, the final slicing, and so much more. Why bother having an app-connected remote thermometer if it can't do all of these things?

I don't care for an app-connected toothbrush personally. But suggesting that just because it can't keep track of your diet overall means it can't possibly give any insights in health is overly reductive. A workout tracker app can't keep track of your food intake, but that doesn't mean it can't help the user be healthier.
Because humanity has to keep itself busy with trivial things or civilization will implode from sheer boredom.
Ask HN: What's the best Services web you have seen?
Hi, I am looking for inspiration on websites that offer services, mainly web design/web dev.

Is it the content?
The design?
The clear resources?
No need for a new one; the two they built for the Apollo program still work just fine.

Note that the crawler-transporter doesn't hang around at the pad during the launch - after setting the mobile launcher down at the pad, it drives away back towards the VAB until it's needed next.

During the Apollo era, it also transported the Mobile Service Structure - a tower with work platforms that allowed access to much of the spacecraft on top of the rocket.
It seems like the link we got (https://www.mono-project.com) might be the URL for the announcement - that's to say, this is the last update on that website, and will stay there indefinitely.

I didn't say huge corporations. Small companies are not somehow immune.

Higher tips for workers absolutely makes its way to shareholders or owners, just not directly. They don't need to pay workers as much, and they will see lower staff turnover.
The ship has long sailed. EU decided that our laws will be applied maximally - to all EU citizens regardless of their location and for everyone within our territorial control.

And if other countries like USA have conflicting laws like Patriot Act then companies can be even forced to divest from EU or split their businesses so that USA branch can not enforce USA spy laws in EU. Google Privacy Shield.
It's probably because all kinds of movies set in American cities are filmed in Vancouver.
In my experience the actual time is usually vastly underestimated. You might take 20 minutes if you've just setup an equivalent project, but otherwise you're gonna take a lot longer to get everything wired up, including https certs.
And you're likely only thinking of deploying already existing images right now, so you'll have to add another hour or so to configure a ci/CD pipeline, a container registry, permissions etc. unless you're fine doing deploys/builds manually.
Unless you configure a cronjob to poll for changes via git, but now you're still gonna have to ssh in to check if everything worked with the build/deploy.

Tools like Coolify streamline this process and give you a preconfigured template to get everything wired up from a git repository push event to a deployment on a docker-swarm cluster, with a shiny UI to configure env variables and check the terminal output of the container etc

I'm not sure what you'd consider magic here though, it's mostly just quality of life templates and a coherent UI so you don't have to execute various commands via ssh
I've recently noticed that I've completely stopped fixing typos in my prompts.
