I enjoyed reading Toliken's fantasy LODR very much, but my attempts at reading Marx's fantasies felt like hammering a nail into my skull.

The attempts at implementing Marxism all ended in misery and famine. What more would anyone need to know about it?

BTW, a capitalist investing money also entails risk. How it works is the more risk, the more potential reward. Does Marx account for risk? I ask that because the Marxists I hear never mention the essential role risk plays, they usually just assume there is no risk.

Good feedback! We'll take a look.
I went to a book signing (Fall, or Dodge in Hell) and you could tell he was so worn out over discussing Snowcrash, and that was five years ago. Otherwise a very thoughtful Q&A session, though. A stark contrast from the Neil Gaiman thing I attended. I did find his vision of the internet being a dystopia of so much false information that people were hiring personal moderators to filter it very depressing and prescient. The book was a challenge, but by god I spent my money so I was finishing it. Felt like he had just discovered the book of Genesis and wanted a modern repeat of it. Always felt like you took a deep dive into Wikipedia when reading his books.
Are you planning to hire Product Managers?
>Singers who aren't good enough to make it on their own are never heard of or discussed.

Correct. I've definitely heard of AKB 48 and other idol groups; I have never heard anything concerning any specific member of one other than randomly showing up on a cheap variety show long after they retired ("graduated") from showbiz.

>Ground meat made from poor quality meat is poor quality ground meat

But it's generally preferable to the poor quality component meats, which was what I tried to allude to.

>people who could start a business on their own could start a business with the help and support of like-minded partners,

People with the chops to become founders on their own can also become co-founders joining with other similar people.

People without the chops can't become founders without joining others to become co-founders.

From my experience, I don't think any decent indicators on a website (robots.txt, humans.txt, security.txt, etc.) have worked so far. However, this is still a good initiative.

Here are a few things that I see;

- Please make a proper shareable logo — lightweight (SVG, PNG) with a transparent background. The "logo.png" in the Github repo is just a screenshot from somewhere. Drop the actual source file there so someone can help.

- Can we stick to plain text instead of Markdown? I know Markdown is already plain but is not plain enough.

- Personally, I feel there is too much complexity going on.
Not at all! I'd prefer that the power of the executive be stripped down to the point where neither party can accomplish any of their campaign promises without passing laws in Congress.

Both parties have pivoted their entire strategy towards making presidential campaign promises, delivering them as temporary administrative rules (i.e. this from the Democrats, immigration law from the Republicans), and then frantically rallying their base to defend those rules against the possibility that they get upended in the next presidential election. It's chaos.

Neuter the executive branch and the game is up: no promises get delivered on and therefore no world-ending stakes can be played up in the presidential election cycle. My hope would be that with the game ended Congress goes back to actually governing and compromising to deliver something tangible and durable to their bases.
Google AI summary: „parachute effectiveness"
I remember doing this in SimCity 4 a few years ago for a real small town of ~7000 and it actually worked remarkably well out of the box. Residential/Commercial/Industrial came out fairly balanced. The only thing I had to mod to make it really work were the catchment areas for schools etc, which are very small by default. I found a mod that made them 2-3 times bigger radius (but actual capacity stayed the same, and worked well enough).

There's something especially fun and interesting about replicating real places you know in games. That's something I don't think the people who freaked out about kids making their house or school in Doom or Quake ever really understood.
thank you, emailing!
Does the Basque region produce more engineers than other areas? I'm guessing their issue is more tied to the demographics of the area they are in and less of the compensation side of things. It's far harder to commit to a coop where your contribution is valued thousands of miles away and you don't have the immediate stake in things (e.g. your bar, bakery, barber, etc)

Equally, probably also not nice to have fuel or munitions ignite just when you start watching the big game.

I enjoyed your comprehensive write-up. I really like how you didn't get too lost in the details when the technical limitations cropped up and kept the focus on the interactivity and public awareness. Very fun project :)
At least with the open source models we do get something back..
Nobody denied the term is used in language models, I only pointed out that they use that term because of what it already means in the context of vector operations (long before OpenAI).

The wikipedia on deep learning transformers:

All transformers have the same primary components:

- Tokenizers, which convert text into tokens.

- Embedding layer, which converts tokens and positions of the tokens into vector representations.

- Transformer layers, which carry out repeated transformations on the vector representations, extracting more and more linguistic information. These consist of alternating attention and feedforward layers. There are two major types of transformer layers: encoder layers and decoder layers, with further variants.

- Un-embedding layer, which converts the final vector representations back to a probability distribution over the tokens.

Where does it say bigrams can't be used for next-token prediction? Or that you can't tag data? Note "...which converts tokens and positions of the tokens..."

> You're deliberately misusing terms, probably to draw attention to your project.

Haha well since I have like 30 followers and the npm is free/MIT whatever scheme you think I'm up to it's not working. Anyway a text autocomplete library is not exactly viral material. Jokes aside, no I am trying to use accurate terms that make sense for the project.

Could just make it anonymous - `export default () => {}` - and call the file `model.js`. What would you call it?

> Did they tag Polish parts of speech too? Or Ancient Greek?

Yes, all the foreign words with special characters were tokenized and trained on. An LLM doesn't "know any language". If it never trained on any Polish word sequences it would not be able to output very good Polish sequences anymore that it could output good JavaScript. It's not that has to train on Polish to translate Polish per se, but it does has to have the language coverage at the token level to be able to perform such vector transformations - which is probably most easily accomplished by training on Polish-specific data.

See https://huggingface.co/pranaydeeps/Ancient-Greek-BERT

> The model was initialised from AUEB NLP Group's Greek BERT and subsequently trained on monolingual data from the First1KGreek Project, Perseus Digital Library, PROIEL Treebank and Gorman's Treebank

Not yet! Feel free to follow on GitHub or even help out if you're really interested in it. Would be cool to have pixel prediction as snappy as text autocomplete.

you're still overestimating how much you know about the world, by a lot. in the spanish-speaking world, for example, anarcho-syndicalism is much better known than monty python (though, not among programmers, because they speak english and write python). and i'm guessing that monty python isn't that widely known among arabic speakers, russian speakers, and chinese speakers, while anarcho-syndicalism is a significant historical strain of socialism a significant number of them are acquainted with

making any statement about 99% of the people who have heard of anarcho-syndicalism represents a staggering degree of unconcern for veracity, given how hard it is to get a handle on that group

Boats typically don't scan local RF unless they need to for the simple reason that boats - especially LARGE boats - are absolutely godawful environments for wifi.

Metal panels between each deck and most of the walls, instruments and engines and microwave ovens running at all different times every shift generating RF noise... you almost need an extra repeater/access point for EVERY SINGLE ROOM and running on separate channels if you want it to be at all reliable.

Providing the infrastructure and reliability of the grid is very expensive, so there is a huge difference between the wholesale costs and retail rates for delivered electricity. From the latest Lazard report on levelized costs, they estimate utility solar has a cost range of about $29 - $92 per megawatt. Rooftop residential has a cost estimate of about $122 to $284. Both are subsidized, but money is limited and is fungible - a dollar spent subsidizing utility solar will go much further than a dollar spent subsidizing rooftop residential solar.

YC Applicant – Cream Formulators
Hey everybody - I am looking to improve Cream Formulators for the winter YC application.

Are there any enterprise grade, pre-coded platforms, for customer onboarding?

Customer onboarding has the following reqs:
1. Document upload
2. Price quote / RFQ
3. Feedback on quote / price adjustment / order execution

I think this could be fairly or mostly automated, but would like to have a well built, easy code base to start with.

BTW - our site is coded with webflow.

Thank you!

I often see offices get over-filled with staff and the A/C is not upgraded to match. E.g.: a shift from cubicles to hot-desking with an open floor plan can increase the density of people in the space substantially.
> For an individual, the answer there might be to limit the usage of the device to your "core" services, and rely on good password hygiene for everything else.

What's the advantage here over password + yubikey? Isn't password + yubikey always going to be at least as secure as password, even if the yubikey gets lost/stolen/compromised?
Obsidian is an extremely extensible and customizable software. Truthfully, there is no text editor as customizable as Emacs, but if you're looking for something other than that, Obsidian is pretty close to being "Emacs for Markdown". I use Emacs for coding but I'm not a fan of the orgmode so I use Obsidian for note taking, and writing things.

Hi Jeremy here. Nice to see this on HN.

To explain the reasoning for this proposal, by way of an example: I recently released FastHTML, a small library for creating hypermedia applications, and by far the most common concern I've received from potential users is that language models aren't able to help use it, since it was created after the knowledge cutoff of current models.

IDEs like Cursor let you add docs to the model context, which is a great solution to this issue -- except what docs should you add? The idea is that if you, as a site creator, want to make it easier for systems like Cursor to use your docs, then you can provide a small text file linking to the AI-friendly documentation you think is most likely to be helpful in the context window.

Of course, these systems already are perfectly capable of doing their own automated scraping, but the results aren't that great. They don't really know what's needed to be in context to get the key foundational information, and some of that information might be on external sites anyway. I've found I get dramatically better results by carefully curating the context for my prompts for each system I use, and it seems like a waste of time for everyone to redo the same work of this curation, rather than the site owner doing it once for every visitor that needs it. I've also found this very useful with Claude Projects.

llms.txt isn't really designed to help with scraping; it's designed to help end-users use the information on web sites with the help of AI, for web-site owners interested in doing that. It's orthogonal to robots.txt, which is used to let bots know what they may and may not access.

(If folks feel like this proposal is helpful, then it might be worth registering with /.well-known/. Since the RFC for that says "Applications that wish to mint new well-known URIs MUST register them", and I don't even know if people are interested in this, it felt a bit soon to be registering it now.)
How does one write something like a math textbook in Word, I'm curious how it's even possible. Do you handwrite every single formula in the point-and-click UI, wouldn't that be extremely time consuming and expensive?

I haven't yet seen an argument for non-competes that applied to non C-suites and wasn't already heavily covered by IP law. Is the problem at hand anything more than a cash grab from abusive employers?

Back to the chevron thing though, how many of you have ever gotten a parking ticket? Imagine two years after the fact some bureaucrat sent a letter informing you that because of your previous bad decisions you're unable to drive. Driving is a privilege, and the state will no longer grant that privilege to you.

Is that decision fair? You already went through the court system (or otherwise paid it off (implicitly, often explicitly, pleading guilty)), a judge took the time to judge your misdeeds, and you had some penalty applied, perhaps the max allowed by the law. Now though, some part of the executive branch wants to ignore any judicial action and assert their opinions.

Even before this ludicrous supreme court case, that was a thing that happened. A whole office in Minnesota is dedicated to extra-judicial traffic rulings above and beyond what the judge thought was reasonable.

I think it's wrong. Empower somebody like the FAA to make fast decisions when there are actually lives at stake, but everything else which could reasonably be judged one way or the other should go through somebody capable of judging it (maybe...a judge). Even FAA rulings probably ought to be vetted once they're less time sensitive.
Well, for one, it's a bit of a hassle. Constantly thinking of commit messages and stuff, but maybe I'm overly dramatic there. On top of that, it would be nice to at least navigate the contents read-only without Emacs. We use GitLab, it does render org files, but not even links to other files work.
Mondragon has lasted 68 years and I believe the USSR had lasted 69 years. Why do you think they will fail in the next year? Also given the speed of advancement has increased in the past 30+ years, it seems like they have kept pace a lot better than the USSR (or it's successor Russia)

Or have you worked there and this is first hand?
You think basic labor regulations is bloat and big brother? Can't tell if you are trolling or not haha.

The choice of the word “insanity” was originally yours.
I agree but I'd rather have either one than nothing.

I'd in general rather have agencies invent rules in ways that help Americans instead of judges inventing interpretations in ways that help corporations.

The courts should have the power to issue injunctions against an agency's policies but the judge shopping should not be allowed.

Slightly tangential, do you think Moonlight (with say Sunshine) is good enough for proper work? I've used a few "second screens" apps like spacedesk on my iPad but generally when the resolution is good enough for text, it's too laggy for scrolling (and vice-versa).

(For more details, I'm planning to stream from an old laptop after turning it into a hackintosh. I'm hoping staying on the home network's going to help with latency.)
Or we nuke the authority of the executive branch to write laws of any sort and force Congress to fix itself. Republicans play exactly the same "we can only get anything done through the presidency" game with their base and would be just as hampered at delivering anything useful if the executive were stripped of its accumulated powers.

The growing administrative state created Congressional deadlock, not the other way around—it changed the game and made the optimal move for either party be to hang everything on the presidency, killing compromise. The only path towards breaking the stalemate in Congress is eliminating the ability of either party to deliver anything through the side channels they found in the executive.
That statement doesn't really have a lot of credibility when "States' Rights" is what Republicans turn to only after they fail to legislate something at a federal level.

If you don’t want the government to prevent noncompetes, then they’re going to happen. Workers lack the collective bargaining abilities to force employers to do away with them.
I'll second the asciidoc approach. After my wife was killed by a Russian tank in Ukraine, I collected up everything she wrote (she wrote a LOT - I've collected 250,000 words so far) and needed to compile it into a book in a way that allowed easy edits and arrangements.

Asciidoctor was a godsend in this regard, able to output in PDF, EPUB, MS Word, whatever you want.

With Asciidoctor, ImageMagick, FFMpeg, LibreTranslate, and about 800 lines of Python code I'm now able to generate any part of the book draft in any language (this is mainly to build excerpts for publishers).
