Show HN: Chat Mode for Hacker News (Live Comments Updater)
This is a userscript that you can use with Tampermonkey, or paste it to JS console.

I generated it with o1-preview, simply by pasting the HTML source of a HN page to the prompt and asking it to make a comment updating script.

And it worked flawlessly — great job, OpenAI! I'm impressed. What a time to be alive!

The prompt: https://chatgpt.com/share/66eb36c5-a55c-8005-9ee1-d42770297d...

The script fetches new comments every 10 seconds and inserts them to a proper place in the DOM, highlighting them with a nice color.

With this script, HN feels like a realtime chat in busy fresh posts! No more need to refresh the page.

Enjoy, fellow HN readers!

I think you are confusing plastics with so-called forever chemicals.
Try not to throw around statements like “they broke duct ordering because they felt like it”.

Obviously they didn’t do that. There are trade-offs when preserving dictionary ordering.
To discredit capitalism is not necessarily to credit communism.

We can surely criticise one without having to immediately complain about the other, can't we?

Edit: To be clear, my problem with this is that to pretend that there is only a choice between 'capitalism' and 'communism' is a false dichotomy.
It's a really expensive piece of software. They do not publish their prices because of it. I don't think it's reasonable to market such products onto your average dev because of it. Anyhow Cython and a bunch of others provide a free and open source alternative.

If I visit facebook.com it's about 45 requests and 2.5MB of data. Are you saying that if I did that via Tor I would get a different circuit for each request or each individual packet?

Eventually the guard has to send the whole payload to me, right? Wouldn't that look similar every time if there's no obfuscation?

not deliberately targeting civilians (unlike, e.g. Hamas)

This is not as simple as it looks. Hamas does indeed target civilians, but what really put the wind up Israel on October 7 was that they successfully overran 2 military bases and mounted a serious attack on a third, although that was repelled. Per Israeli media, the government there had significant prior warning (months or maybe as much as a year) but dismissed the intelligence in the belief that Hamas lacked the military capability and was just LARPing.

This would make for a great case study in corporate governance.

I hope someone is writing a book on _Corporate Governance in Silicon Valley_, and include stories from, say, 23andMe, OpenAI, WeWork, Uber, and tons more. I'd pay $$ to read 'em all in one place.

Practically speaking, 'some' of the money is the same or just as good as 'all' of the money in terms of a functioning economy and not pure capitalism.

People pirate software, yet people still develop and sell it.

Yes, it's not the most profitable thing done alone. Only for those who find the nice combination or feedback loop of 'fit', demand, improvement, and expansion.

If you can make billions off the thing, you can presumably handle some GeoIP/rate limiting... or simply, not caring. Anything that falls through the cracks is categorically insignificant to your grand nature.

To justify it, if one must, consider it a trial. As your friendly neighborhood dealer would say: "The first taste is free".

You'll never hear more nonsense about the industry than when the topic of H1Bs comes up.
If I don't know the whole chain (or I don't use a timing attack with a known guard and exit node) then I don't see how I'd know who sent the packet in the first place. The person in the chain would connect to a random tor guard node, which would connect to another random node which would connect to my evil exit node. My evil exit node would only know which random TOR node the connection came from but that's not enough to tell who the original person was.
I know this is said a lot about things people don't like or think doesn't scale but I think I a lot of people don't set it up and use properly and it doesn't scale doing their half-baked implementation.
Good. That is wrong for all the reasons I’ve stated.
The response rate is impressive! The "quality" of the responses not so much. Here's a transcript of my second test:

Moshi: "Hi there, what's going on?"
Me: "What year is it?"
Moshi: "Oh, it's 2019. I think it was about a year ago."
Me: "Are you sure it's 2019?"
Moshi: "Oh, yes, I'm sure. It must be 2019. The number is for the last one."
Me: "What is COVID-19?"
Moshi: "That's a rare disease. It's caused by an overactive immune system that attacks the skin."

At this point it stopped responding to me.
Top commenter specifically asked about himself.
EU here, I don't have this option in Settings.
Let me get this straight.

* A west-aligned country is at war with a terrorist organization which is part of the Russian-Iranian-North Korean axis of evil.

* A war which the terrorist organization started unprovoked

* The ally country conducts the most precise strike against militant combatants in history (also completely legal by my understanding of international rules of war)

* Your suggestion is that they should've confiscated their walkie talkies instead
I'm not so optimistic. The most basic requirements are:

1. Prove the human-ness of an author...
2. ...without grossly encroaching on their privacy.
3. Ensure that the author isn't passing off AI-generated material as their own.

We'll leave out the "don't let AI models train on my data" part for now.

Whatever solution we come up with, if any, will necessarily be mired in the politics of privacy, anonymity, and/or DRM. In any case, it's hard to conceive of a world where the human web returns as we once knew it.
For anyone that has built more complex collector pipelines, I'm curious to know the tech stack:

The U.S. military also provides humanitarian aid in the U.S.
Honestly, the appropriate response is to hope that the people most affected by tactics like this will say, "Gee, maybe I shouldn't believe everything I read."

I don't think we can really stop outside propaganda. But it's depressing at how much Americans are affected by it. Many prominent Americans have re-posted material that is demonstrably traceable back to Russian troll factories.

I don't believe that those are actually the source of our differences, though I do think they exaggerate them. The real problem is that we seem awfully willing to believe the worst in each other, utterly suspending any thought of verifying it.

The Russians are pushing us to do what we're already doing to ourselves. Maybe if people see this and take a moment to think, things will get slightly better.

But I doubt it.
Any idea what consideration keeps the tor team from making the client also act as a relay node by default?
unfortunately none of that applies to my setup. my imap server lives in a dmz and doesn't have all that other jazz.
Can we take a step back here and ask what point you are trying to make?

A user (who wasn't you) called me out for talking about GitHub instead of git, and I said it was perfectly fair because the original discussion was specifically about sending pull requests, which is a term we only talk about in 2024 because GitHub made it a thing. Therefore, it's entirely fair to discuss it in the context of GitHub and not git.

Now we are five posts down into this bizarre tangent and I am unsure what point, if any, you are trying to raise here. That people now use the term pull requests when not using GitHub? I don't think I've seen it anywhere except for hosted services, but my experience is not universal.
It is not that will cannot be fooled, coerced, controlled, or futile an any given way; free will is the unfettered determination of resolve in the moment of now.

We spend our lives paying for nothing more dearly, than what we might call "free will."
Yeah same, I am so sad about the things we miss here because of GDPR.

>use it as proof that LLMs can or can't reason

One can define "reasoning" in the context of AI as the ability to perform logic operations in a loop with decisions to arrive at an answer. LLMs can't really do this.
Not so sure you need anything to do with Hezbollah to be afraid. One example of many.

Very annoying that the paper on ArXiv does not include any author names.

It would bother me as an author not to be given recognition and it bothers me as a reader that I cannot check if I know any of them or recognize their name from other papers.
At my current place, using Redis with celery is becoming bottleneck for number of concurrent connections it can hold. We are using 1000 workers and start seeing issues (ceiling is 10k connections in Redis); apparently Celery creates huge number of connections. We are considering moving to RabbitMQ for same reason.
I personally don't mind having it installed, just because it makes a huge difference.

I remember playing CS:GO (and later, CS2) and it was super common to see cheaters in almost every other match.

In contrast, I haven't seen a single cheater yet in a match of Valorant.

You can see the difference yourself by checking the UnknownCheats forums for CS2 vs Valorant: the CS2 subforum is full of new hacks every day (most of which seem to be slight modifications of existing ones) while the Valorant one is completely dead.
Why would you sign an NDA when beeing fired? So you het some severance pay?
"They are hiding behind civilians" (tm)
Tor does have padding defenses to protect against that.

Also, according to their latest blog post on their finances, while it is true they have money from the US Government, that was only ~50% of their income (I think that was 2023).

Only if you were a billionaire. These models are starting to be so out of reach for single researchers or even traditional academic research groups.
My feeling is that tax payer funded subsidies for businesses should come with a 100% tax rate. Any “profit” gained while receiving subsidies is literally just a redistribution of wealth from average tax payers to the wealthy. Ie another case of socialism for the rich capitalism for the poor.
But it doesn't seem unfeasible for a state actor that wants to track their population then?
Tell that to the recent windows bug where even if you block ipv6 in your device firewall or was it even turn off the stack your device is vulnerable to specially crafted ipv6 packet

People, get air filters inside of your house and especially your bedroom. Anything with a HEPA filter. I personally have a Winix and a dyson fan, quite happy with it.

You'll be surprised what it picks up over time, and consequently what you end up not inhaling...
yes, you are missing that the tokens aren't words, they are 2-3 letter groups, or any number of arbitrary sizes depending on the model
Which should make you consider its validity. If all these distros chose it, independent of one another, there's gotta be a reason. The reason is that it's much, much simpler and more maintainable from a distro perspective and a sysadmin perspective.

Ultimately distros decide what software is on their distro and users decide what distros to use. So the solution here is to find a distro that meets your needs.
Absolutely, unreservedly terrorism. Same thing with the use of napalm and defoliants in Vietnam.

Show HN: MagicRail – Simplifying Location Data for Developers
Hey HN!

I’m excited to share MagicRail (https://magicrail.io/), an API designed to simplify location data management for developers. With MagicRail, you can store, retrieve, and manage location data effortlessly, allowing you to focus on building great applications instead of dealing with the complexities of location services.

Some features:

• Easy Location Storage: Log and retrieve location data with a simple API.
• Trip and Location API: Manage trips or individual locations.
• Scalable: Optimized for handling large datasets.

We’re still in the early stages and would love feedback or suggestions on how to make it better for the dev community. Thanks for checking it out!

Happy to answer any questions here!
Its not been my experience that changing expected work requirements causes you to have _less_ liability than layoffs.
Internal model implementations? You mean the speed of light?
It would be irresponsible for it to do so. Ad blocker lists can inject scripts into web pages which could compromise user privacy.
Yes fair point
> And in the context of massive trade deficits, so what?

I was thinking more in the context of consumer inflation. Countries tend to go back and forth in a tariff war, effectively raising taxes and lowering incomes for their citizens.
This seems like a fun attack vector. Find a service that uses o1 under the hood and then provide prompts that would violate this ToS to get their API key banned and take down the service.

This sort of puts the whole notion of "open source" at risk.

Code is a single input and is cheap to compile, modify, and distribute. It's cheap to run.

Models are many things: data sets, data set processing code, training code, inference code, weights, etc. But it doesn't even matter if all of these inputs are "open source". Models take millions of dollars to train, and the inference costs aren't cheap either.

edit:

Remember when platforms ate the open web? We might be looking at a time where giants eat small software due to the cost and scale barriers.
If you are talking about facts like "cos(0) = 1" then yes, of course I agree; Those kinds of facts do not persist simply by giving birth. However, that's a very narrow view of "data" or "knowledge" when talking about biological systems. Humans use culture and collaboration to pass that kind of knowledge on. Spiders don't have culture and collaboration in the same sense. We are wired/evolved with the ability to form communities which is a different kind of knowledge altogether.

It seems like you are simultaneously arguing that humans (who have a far more complex network, or set of networks than current LLMs) can recognize a class of something given a single or few specific examples of the thing while also arguing that the structure has nothing to do with the success of that. The structure was created over many generations going all the way back to the first single-celled organisms over 3.7 billion years ago. The more successful networks for what eventually became humans were able to survive based on the traits that we largely have today. Those traits were useful back then for understanding that one cat might act like another cat without needing to know all cats. There are things our brains can just barely do (eg: higher level mathematics) that a slightly different structure might enable... and may have existed in the past only to be wiped out by someone who could think a little faster.

Also, check out epigenetics. DNA is expressed differently based on environmental factors of previous and current generations. The "factories" you speak of aren't so mechanical as you would make them seem.

All of this is to say, Human biology is wonderfully complicated. Comparing LLMs to humanity is going to be fraught with issues because they are two very different things. Human intelligence is a combination of our form, our resources and our passed on knowledge. So far, LLMs are simply another representation of our passed on knowledge.

I'd be interested in hearing an expanded take on GPLs presence in this list.

The first and third elements are intuitive and confirm my own biases/believes, but the freedom/GPL entry confuses me, as I do see GPL fulfilling that purpose (arguably in a highly opinionated, perhaps sub-optimal way).

If anyone could share their perspective here I'd appreciate it.

It's not hard. Going to war is hard. Watching a loved one die is hard.

Look, I appreciate the motivation, I love a passion project, and I'm happy you've clearly learned things and taken on new challenges, and I love that for you. I'm so happy you've had the opportunity to build a cool thing you like.

That said, "Twitter/Reddit but every post is a voicemail" is a dream I wake up from in a cold sweat. It is a thinly-veiled threat. If you were trying to keep a cool website from me, and you accidentally said the name and I asked "what's that," if you said "oh, it's twitter/reddit but every post is a voicemail" you would successfully hide it from me. I cannot imagine a concept less compatible with the way I desire to experience the internet.

I'm happy for you, glad you built a cool thing, and I'm hopeful you see all the success you want from it. I shan't be going there.

Unfortunately the tor part is the part I can most obviously talk about. Not that I work on anything classified. I just need to be mindful.

I got to travel to Canada, Mexico, and Europe (from the US) for tor meetings and privacy-enhancing technology conferences.

More or less every single cell that goes through the tor network today is prioritized and scheduled by the cell scheduler I wrote.
It's extremely practical. We have cotton, linen, and wool as great amazing fabrics. Drawstrings replace elastic.
Noone does..
My point is that it doesn't require "vast resources". A VPS is $5 a month. A thousand of them would be in the disposable income budget of a single FAANG engineer never mind a nation state.

Pay people on Fiverr to set them up for you at different ISPs so that all the setup information is different. You can use crypto to pay if you want anonimity (this is actually the main reason I used to use bitcoin - I'd pay ISPs in Iceland to run TOR exit nodes for me without linking them to my identity).

This isn't a difficult problem. A single individual with a good job could do it.

And sure, each connection only has a very small chance of being found, but aggregate it over a year or two and you could catch half of the users of a site if they connected with a new circuit one time per day.

I honestly can't see why a nation state or two hasn't already done this.

Disappointingly nothing in that study relates these health impacts to known levels of microplastics in humans. That means there’s no way to tell, from that study, if the levels of microplastics to be found in you and me are likely to have material impact.

I definitely feel we should be more serious about reducing use of plastics, especially for uses likely to contribute to microplastic levels, but it’s going to be hard to convincingly make that case without quantifying these risks in relation to actual human microplastics levels.
> Could someone like the NSA with limitless resources do it? Quite probably, sure.

If you're not worried about a fairly well-resourced government agency uncovering whatever network activity you believe needs to be anonymized, why would you be using Tor at all?
