> Reddit changed the way people interacted online and how online content was aggregated, people often append “reddit” to their google results to get higher quality content.

This was not a good thing, and not intentional but a consequence of the SEO-driven commercialization of the web, walled gardens and such. Reddit didn't set out to 'change how online content is aggregated'. It's not necessarily higher quality content than before either, just the largest human place left.

Not being in the US, can someone explain to me what did Doordash change about delivery? I all see is these crazy chats with drivers when food goes missing.
I don't see why on-device inference is the future. For consumers, only a small set of use cases cannot tolerate the increased latency. Corporate customers will be satisfied if the model can be hosted within their borders. Pooling compute is less wasteful overall as a collective strategy.

This argument can really only meet its tipping point when massive models no longer offer a gotta-have-it difference vs smaller models.
Regular cars were carefully designed to fold like an accordion in case of impact, so people will be safe

Now add to the equation a big flammable battery below the people in the areas designed to fold and you will have a lot of scorching fun if the car that you drive eventually hit something.

Do we really need to explain why this is a recipe for trouble?.
Scare quotes on people? I know I’m a bit sensitive to dehumanization, but really?
Sure you can make it a full hybrid but then you’re like 80% of the way there to a battery vehicle anyway.

But then you don't need to build dozens of charging ports at post offices that may or may not have the electrical infrastructure to charge a fleet of mail trucks every night
Russia also was a complete mess at this time. Its serfdom and class system were oppressive as hell.

To give you one idea: soldiers could never be out of uniform. Officers could strike soldier at any time and routinely did. Soldiers were paid roughly 50 kopeks a month while officers go 50-1000 rubles (100k = 1r).

Europe was also 60 years into the emergence of Communism at this point because there was very little upward mobility from general populace to the higher classes. Sounds more like author bias and wishful thinking but I will add this book to my list to see if I am wrong.
I don't understand the idea that they have no moat. Their moat is not technological. It's sociological. Most AI through APIs uses their models. Most consumer use of AI involves their models, or ChatGPT directly. They're clearly not in the "train your own model on your data in your environment" game, as that's a market for someone else. But make no mistake, they have a moat and it is strong.
> Yes, technically, but in how they're used - no. They're a dynamic type.

No, they're really not. Are you talking about Archetypes or something else? Because an Entity is just a ID + a generation, that's it. Nothing more and nothing less. You don't define them as more/less, nor do you use them are more/less either.

> Yes, this is dynamic typing. Or, at least, one way to look at it - and what allows games to be iterated on quick.

I guess a `Vec<u8>` is also then dynamic typing in your mind as you can add/remove elements to the vector? Doesn't really compute for me personally, but whatever floats your boat.
I don’t have letters on any of my keys and switch between keyboard layouts frequently. I never look at my keyboard, am I still vulnerable?
Careers are still longer than 30 years. How many people do you think are retiring at 48 or 51 years old these days? It’s a small minority. Most people work through 65: a career of about 45 years or more.
Nice, I think? Sounds like a good place to take up the flag and represent over in ATL.

I mean, it depends. It's mostly dangerous to kids, because it's detrimental to brain development. Not exactly vitamins for anyone though.

Also something to remember about ingestion is that, lead only forms salts in acidic environments, and, your stomach is quite acidic, which is why it's such a problem. Combine that with lead accumulating in your body and, well, it's best to avoid it, and it's simple enough to avoid it.

I don't know that we have evidence that survival instinct goes away after reproduction. It's still valuable to our species to survive after reproduction in order to protect and nurture offspring, for example.

There's no evolutionary reason that survival instinct would turn off after a certain age.
And people forget that this behavior of systemd devs is present in lots of other core projects of the Linux ecosystem.

Unfortunately this makes modern Linux not reliable.

It literally forced a bunch of peoples into a single entity run by a family (aka monarchy). It predates the nation state, it was blown up by the very desire of the peoples within it to get out.

Vienna was the center of this entity, not a part of "Austria". Stefan Zweig, being Jewish, also wasn't connected to the native Austrian population - just like most the persons mentioned in the article. Vienna was an unaligned entity, what New York became later.

The backlash against this amalgam fueled WW1 and WW2. It's still reverberating, as can be seen in various European issues today. Bolshevism and its reaction, fascism, geared up to eradicate the old Christian/Aristocratic structures across Europe. The Habsburg emperor wasn't just leading Austria/Hungary, but also the Holy Roman Empire (of German Nation). Christian god-given authority, verbatim.

Can you point me to both of:

You seem surprised, but any sort of live production requires this. Check out SonoBus, it achieves adequately low end-to-end latency even with network delays in the mix.
> Does anyone know where one might go to buy the retired vehicles?

My son had looked into this and it looks like you can't.

Some of it is due to the LLV being manufactured with exemptions from certain US car standards. Some of it is due to a obligation (with Grumman IIRC) that the LLV be destroyed after retirement.

We settled for a 31k mi 1992 Buick with the same Iron Duke engine.
Doubt it, besides there aren't a lot of reasons for us all to not just casually choose death had it been for humans' innate fear of death, which I think is kind of good thing.
if you take into account the millions of dollars OpenAI is shovelling into the furnace for each query, yes.
It was purely to create a runtime infrastructure I could later build on and expand on the various scans performed on the results presented by NMAP.

I think this comment generalizes too much. I do not think Europeans are all the same on this (and probably Asians too).

As an example I have the impression that what you wrote is true for Dutch people (I don't know if it's true but I've heard/read they are more on the side of making elderly people comfortable in their last moments rather than trying to treat them with expensive procedures).

While here in Greece we do try to prolong the life of even the most hopeless situations (that might be changing). It's not rare to have our elderly parents/grandparents bedridden at home for years.

Of course I might be generalizing also.
I’d say depends. If the model iterates 100x I’d just say give me the output.

Same with problem solving in my brain: Sure, sometimes it helps to think out loud. But taking a break and let my unconcious do the work is helpful as well. For complex problems that’s actually nice.

I think eventually we don’t care as long as it works or we can easily debug it.
Curious how this compares to something like a Metcal MX-500. Got one from work for free a long time ago, and while its old, it works great. I only checked just now and it's rated at 40W but that's always been plenty for what I do, including big ground planes. It's insanely responsive because of the whole curie effect thing, and with the tip saver stand, it cools off instantly when I put it down. The tips are stupid expensive though.

They are probably not putting one of the most expensive and unrepairable components in the bumper. The bumpers look ugly because they aren't integrated into the car body/metawork, and can be more easily replaced.

I do wonder if bumpers that low will have mismatch problems with higher modern cars (aka SUVs and trucks), whose bumpers may go right over the mail trucks' bumpers and cause major damage.
Why is it the only people who say this at all are people saying it sarcastically or quoting fictional strawmen (and can never seem to provide evidence of it being said in earnest)?

I tested o1-preview on some coding stuff I've been using gpt-4o for. I am not impressed. The new, more intentional chain of thought logic is apparently not something it can meaningfully apply to a non-trivial codebase.

Sadly I think this OpenAI announcement is hot air. I am now (unfortunately) much less enthusiastic about upcoming OpenAI announcements. This is the first one that has been extremely underwhelming (though the big announcement about structured responses (months after it had already been supported nearly identically via JSONSchema) was in hindsight also hot air.

I think OpenAI is making the same mistake Google made with the search interface. Rather than considering it a command line to be mastered, Google optimized to generate better results for someone who had no mastery of how to type a search phrase.

Similarly, OpenAI is optimizing for someone who doesn't know how to interact with a context-limited LLM. Sure it helps the low end, but based on my initial testing this is not going to be helpful to anyone who had already come to understand how to create good prompts.

What is needed is the ability for the LLM to create a useful, ongoing meta-context for the conversation so that it doesn't make stupid mistakes and omissions. I was really hoping OpenAI would have something like this ready for use.
The one caused by Uber required three different safety systems to fail (the AI system, the safety driver, and the base car's radar), and it looked bad for them because the radar had been explicitly disabled and the driver wasn't paying attention or being tracked.

I think the real issue was that Uber's self driving was not a good business for them and was just to impress investors, so they wanted to get rid of it anyway.

(Also, the real problem is that American roads are designed for speed, which means they're designed to kill people.)

Show HN: I built a web app to help identify songs stuck in your head
Hey HN,

I recently built a web app called Hummify. It allows you to hum, sing or upload a snippet of a song you can't remember, and the community helps you identify it. It's a simple, user-oriented solution for those times when you have a tune in your head but don't know what it's called.

Features:

-Record or upload audio directly from your browser
-Community-based song identification
-Stylish audio player with waveform visualization

Built with React, Firebase and Web Audio API.

I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions!
Your 'pen has `td { position: relative; }` so the link's pseudo-element is not actually covering the row, the row only gets the visual styling that makes it appear clickable.

If you remove the positioning from the `td` and add `tr { position: relative; }` then you'll find you can activate the link by clicking anywhere in the row but you can't select the text in the row (because the link's pseudo-element is "covering" it). However, if you start a text selection outside the table, you can select the whole table (or the first however many rows you want).

This post includes some JavaScript as a progressive enhancement that tries to differentiate text selection from clicks.

Show HN: Backmesh, Firebase for AI Apps
Hello HN! Fernando from Backmesh. I got tired of having to spin up a backend to use the OpenAI or Anthropic API and figure out authentication, usage and error analytics per user in my web or mobile apps so I created Backmesh, the Firebase for AI Apps. It lets you safely call any LLM API from your app without a backend with usage analytics and rate limits per user.
Even if Kamala wins (praise be to god that she does), those people aren't just going to go away until social media does. Social media is the cause of a lot of the conspiracy theory mania.

So yeah, better to never release the model...even though Elon would in a second if he had it.
I don't really have a comparative opinion about that. What I mean is that I've seen countless examples of US patients and docs willing to go to extremes of treatment that would be considered unreasonable elsewhere. But I was just a bloke in one big university hospital, so YMMV I guess. Still, the culture gap was pretty surprising.
Some of the nostalgia for A-H empire is driven by the hindsight of "what happened after 1914". Which tends to give you rosy glasses.

The Austrian part (Cisleithania) was okayish place to live, relatively industrially developed (less than Prussia or England), but it had a massive problem with political dysfunction. The Babel of nations was unable to agree on pretty basic things, resulting in paralysis of local and central parliaments and frequent governmental crises. There also was visible, very nasty anti-Semitic resentment. Hitler learnt to hate the Jews from certain Georg Schönerer [0], a rabid Austrian Jew-hater who came up with the idea of a "Final Solution".

The Hungarian part was outright backward and oppressive towards non-Hungarians, who constituted at least half of its population.

Yes they can be tough to monetise, but I also think they are an underserved niche.

Think about it - most extensions are crap, they look crap, and they are buggy. So if you can build something halfway decent you’re already in the top 10% of extension developers

I use free and open source software when I can. I use and contribute to open street maps. I use proton mail's open source software and have purchased a plan with SMTP included.

I still gotta use WhatsApp though. In my country, to not have WhatsApp is to be ostracized. And there is no such thing as an open source WhatsApp client. They ban your number if you try. It's in the terms of service.

I can't build a free software app to interface with my bank's systems either. I actually tried asking my banks about this once... How naive I was.
Partly, I think that the culture is more affected by the lack of history than most people realize. If you've lived in Europe, and I'm sure elsewhere, you understand your mortality implicitly from the centuries-old buildings and streets. At least that's what I got out of it.

I guess it's not so obvious if GP is the top comment. It seems broader messaging around anti-aging needs to be even better (nothing against the paper). Sometimes I like the jargon of negligible senescence and longevity escape velocity, because I don't think it's possible to know the meaning of those phrases and also think the goal is eking out as much substandard life as possible, so if you can't have a two-way conversation at least you can put in a semantic roadblock that invites a curious reader to look up the meaning and then not have the GP's question.

> Rust is starting to show some warts (despite still being a massive improvement over C from a safety perspective)

The way it seems to me is that actually Rust aims to be an improvement over C++ rather than C. (And Zig aims to be an improvement over C rather than C++.)

The major downsides of both will be the same as their reference point: Rust will eventually be too complicated for anyone to understand while still not being really safe (and the complexity then comes back to bite you one more time). Zig will be easy to understand and use but too unsafe to use for important applications (at least once people start really caring about software in important applications).

Both of these will be fairly niche because compiling to a single binary just isn't as important, as elegant as it might be.

It still has issues with crossing service boundaries, working in systems, stuff like that. That stuff will get better but the amount of context you need to load to get good results with a decently sized system will still be prohibitive. The software engineer skillset is being devalued but architecture and systems thinking is still going to be valuable for quite some time.

As they should be. Most of my family are mail carriers and as a kid I rode with them a few times for the day. Electric Vehicles would have been perfect for this work, but DeJoy probably was lobbied (in Europe that is called bribed) and bowed to the fossil fuel industry.
