Yea I use Reddit every now and then and I saw that but Reddit is a walled garden and websites and web blogs are part of the Open Web so it's not quite the same but your analogy is right.

Blogroll is the much closer analogy.

>No query planner whatsoever. In databases like XTDB, the order of :where clauses doesn't matter since the engine is able to optimize them. In Datomic, swapping two :where clauses can transform a 10ms query into a 10s query.

I actually agree completely with you — feel, frankly, like I retired at the right time in the arc of "programmer" as a career.

At the same time I suspect that those that came before us are happy to have also had a career where they also wrote the firmware, OS, boot-loader — feel our generation had to build software on top of shitty OS dylibs, etc.

Check those numbers. I looked at the original data, and it seems that in the report you linked, debt is defined as a credit card balance.

I don't know about others, but I always float thousands on my balance and pay it off by the end of the month; the payment is all automatic. Often, for large sums, I pay it off online right away when I get home.

In my opinion, this is not debt—as long as you have the money, don't overspend, and pay it off within the grace period of 30 days, as long you are using the credit card as an intermediary for convenience and as a service that gives you various protections. There is benefit to the customer.
I'm assuming they left the fediverse because it ended up not being a huge success, and not because they suddenly pivoted against decentralization.

To tack on what others said, the fee reduction is huge but that is what RedFin has been doing and while I believe it to be a better workfow as a buyer/seller, I do not believe they have been a massive disruption to the market.
LLMs do not have persistent memory. OpenAI provides a feature called "persistent memory" that uses user's interaction with LLMs to automatically generate LLMs context.

This is a feature of OpenAI, not LLMs, and it's nothing magic, it's just context that is passed to the LLM. It is under user's control, and behaves just like any other LLM input.

If you allow arbitrary third parties to manipulate your context then third parties will have just as much control over the LLM as you do. It's literally behaving as it is supposed to.

If you don't want arbitrary third parties to manipulate your LLM, don't let arbitrary third parties influence your LLM context.

if users don't understand the consequences of enabling random features perhaps they should not enable those features. AFAICT OpenAI has not silently enabled this feature without user's consent.

It has? I'm just quoting Wikipedia here: To date, no conclusive evidence of past or present life has been found on Mars.

Show HN: Launchgrid – Explore Today's Launches Across Product Hunt and Show HN
Hundreds of new tech ideas are launched every day. The best communities online for these launches are right here on Hacker News and of course Product Hunt. However, if you want to try and discover your next favorite product, often what you want to see are screenshots and some more detail about the product before drilling into it. So I created Launchgrid to give you that quick overview of each launch across Show HN and PH. This way you'll have a quicker and more pleasant experience discovering the new products of today!

The main features are:

- Aggregates today's launches for both Product Hunt and Hacker News

- The first screenshot from PH, and the open graph image from HN are shown for each launch

- If there's no OG image for an HN post, a screenshot of the website is shown

- Link to PH or HN from the launch card, but also a direct link to the product

- Ability to install as a progressive web app

Some ideas for the future of this project:

- Archive for the launches of previous days

- An RSS feed so you can consume the same content in your app of choice

- Introduce more sources. Are there other sources for new launches that you think I should include?

- What else?

Please take a moment to check it out and let me know what you think!
Thank you!

Physical man in the middle attack on re-manufactured HP ink cartridges [video]
I've done lot of volunteering programming with children and also have an 11 year old. Three obvious options: Unity, Scratch and Python with PyGame.

Unity sounds like the best fit to me - some code but a lot of interface. Code Club has a series of Unity projects which form a good getting started series: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/collections/unity As a Python programmer myself I found it fine helping my other son with those.

My 11 year old makes lots of stuff on Scratch by himself and has lots of fun. Scratch has pretty much become the default coding platforms for that under-12 age group. There are lots of resources and it's very easy to get making games, but it's limited in various ways and I have reservations about how great an introduction it is to programming beyond the real basics like variables and loops. If your child was seven or eight I would recommend Scratch, but feel like an 11 year old would probably be better off starting with something else.

Python is another option because you can help there and PyGame is the obvious library to use. It's quite a bit of work for somebody new to Python to make anything that feels like a game, although not impossible (I've been making a flag guessing game with my 11 year old in Python but using Tkinter instead) so more delayed gratification is definitely needed. You'd probably have to help a lot and there are a lot of concepts to learn - just becoming confident in how things like lists, dictionaries and objects work takes some time at that age. There are some books that lead you through making games with Python and PyGame though - Mission Python and Python Hunting spring to mind, with the caveat that I haven't worked through all of either of them. I think most 11 year olds would struggle to work through those books by themselves though, but if you skim through them and use them as a road map for making a game together, then they could be worth a go.
I have done this, it can work with some kids, still, its too much work.

At this age, I think it is more important to keep them motivated and find ways to use their creativity than to get them through the pains of debugging and learning too many technical concepts, even simple details like learning about image formats, how to reference them, case-sensitiveness are just obstacles against meeting their goals.
Eventually I got comfortable enough to just take that time that I needed and say, damn the consequences. "Sorry, boss, I was busy with family last night."

And as it turned out that was not the problem that I thought it would be.
Yes - if I understand you correctly :) Datomic writes opaque blobs of index data to existing storage, such as Postgres or dynamodb or a handful of others. But you can't query that data meaningfully directly, it's just a bunch of compressed datomic-specific index data in there, no domain structure or query power etc.
Sadly, they don't really reveal any useful results, not even in the actual paper:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266727742...

Apparently, "Business" is the category of what is being offered and it is the most important success factor (together with HSCS = social capital = creator popularity). But Figure 2 only lists 9 possible text keywords. And the publisher's page only says "Data will be made available on request."

Their boosted tree additionally reveals that projects from 2014 to 2016 were statistically more successful than average ... but that's not really actionable either. But that same table lists a high positive "Effect" for "journalism" on "Success", but journalism projects only have a 20% success rate with funding (and site-wide average is 40%).
Aiming higher than the desire for all people to live in harmony with each other, with the freedom to pursue their needs and interests at the top of Maslow's pyramid without fear? Aiming higher than desiring peace for all mankind, where no one wants for anything, and those that are still struggling regardless receive help and compassion from their fellow humans? That seems like a tall order.
I use searchGPT more than google but I use both much more rarely than before ChatGPT entered the scene, because the various LLMs cover a lot of basic knowledge and they have the ability to filter down recent preprints and papers to my needs.
> Cherry-picking a highly successful, well-known example doesn't prove a point.

There must be hundreds, if not thousands, of successful scientific discoveries that went into something as complicated as the moon landing, and if you still don't think that's convincing, just look at the world around you - which looks just radically different from the world of, say, just a couple hundred years ago.

This looks like a nice book. I took courses in graph theory and ramsey theory at university many years ago. Reading the first couple of pages of the first chapter, it's pitched at a good level for me to jump back into things.

Users might find this paragraph from the Preface helpful:

> This book is about graph coloring, one of the most popular and widely-studied areas of discrete mathematics. The intended reader is a graduate student or early career researcher, although it should be useful for readers who are both less and more experienced. The reader may find it useful to have taken a 1-semester course in graph theory, but this is not strictly necessary. My goal as the author is to help you understand, internalize, and add to (if you like)
central results in many areas of graph coloring.

The first chapter also states:

> In this book we focus on the existence of colorings, rather than on algorithms to produce them

Does anyone know of resources for learning or implementing algorithms for graph colouring?

Electric looks awesome, but their stern warning of “we are building this for ourselves, and if you get value that’s great” gave me pause.

If it reaches a point of being documented and intended for general public use, then I’ll definitely try a project with it.
My 9 y.o. has gotten a lot out of two platform game makers: Bloxels (https://www.bloxels.com), and the Jerry Lawson Google Doodle (https://doodles.google/doodle/gerald-jerry-lawsons-82nd-birt...). They’re both limited but a nice introduction to the creative elements of game design.
> so my insurance company would try negotiate the price down.

Do they have any incentives to do that though? If their profits are fixed at a specific % wouldn’t they be incentivized to spend as much as possible so that they could increase premiums (as long as all other companies play along)?
There is no conclusive evidence that life has existed on Mars. In fact Mars is one of the lesser candidates for life due to its weak atmosphere and lack of tectonic activity/magnetic field. (Though Mars was much more fertile directly after its formation, it seemed to have been a rather violent time for life to develop).

Finding life on Europa, or anywhere other than Earth, would be foundational. The most likely scenario is that it would be carbon-RNA based, which could imply a panspermia theory rooted in the early stages of the solar system’s formation.

The off chance that we find something non carbon, non RNA, or some combination thereof -based (non carbon RNA would be wild) would obviously have some pretty large implications as well.

Though unfortunately the most likely scenario is that we don’t find any life forms, as is the historical trend, and our search continues.
Thank you for your patient explanation! A very valuable perspective —- people are not willing to continuously pay for something static that doesn't get updated. Actually, I have plans to develop some features that require a server, but as you mentioned, perhaps I should put the blueprint in the README or on the homepage to make users feel it's worth continuously paying for.

Can I conduct a small survey? I previously considered offering a feature to store users' JSON in the cloud, but I didn't see the need since there's GitHub Gist, and you can always use that, so I didn't implement it. From your perspective, would you need such a feature?
That's what it says today. Had Wikipedia been around in the 1800s it would have said that canals on Mars indicated an agricultural civilization. The point is that society has already processed the concept of alien life. We know how people will react because we can look to how they reacted in the past when scientists told them about alien life.

Do American insurance companies have any incentives to minimize their spending?
I mean as long as the system is taking inputs it really doesn't matter when the screen shows them to you. Modern systems can still do what old systems used to do and you're apparently not doing stuff in a terminal right? In DOS you could start typing all of your commands while the operating system is starting and everything would be buffered including the enter presses.

Long and short of it I'm just saying don't worry about the screen responsiveness of eink and just enjoy writing.

At this point I’m pretty addicted to BEAM and the Elixir ecosystem though. (And LiveView!).
> I still think there’s elements of an amazing product here

Interesting framing. The people behind Clojure and Datomic aren't known for being amazing at scaling and shipping products (i.e. marketing and all that jazz).

This is also not me judging them for it, I haven't built and shipped a Datomic, much less marketed it.
> What about acknowledging the effects of improper land management (forestry, rivers, etc)?

Those are indeed a factor, and European nations as well as the EU have started programs to counter those 20th century artefacts (see "Renaturation"). But the amount of rainfall itself (measured) was extremely high, by any standard. The mediterranean sea was between 2 and 4 deg C warmer than usual, causing increased evaporation and in turn increased precipitation across Europe. (This has been widely reported)
I think the sentiment here is not fully objective, there are nice improvements in benchmarks (and even more so when accounting for the price): https://imgur.com/a/K3tVPEw

Also, this model shouldn't be compared to the CoT o1, I think. That is something different (also in price and speed).
Totally agree, climate change is highlighting the places we messed up but had enough stable weather patterns to hide it.

Lots of areas are getting absolutely flooded around Europe and it's basically because they drainer or changed the water courses, as well as making everything flat and smooth for (over)farming.

And then you get a week of rains and everything goes tits up.
The bank usually handles initiating reversals, not the payment processor. Though FedNow may not have the API to facilitate them easily, not sure on that.

> AI will accelerate, not minimize, inequality and thus injustice

Your argument here seems to rely on hand waving away a bunch of stuff through this statement:

> Yes, the U.S. had a middle class after the war, and yes, China has lifted rural people out of technical poverty. But those are the exceptions against the background of consolidation of wealth and power world wide.

What? You cannot truly believe that the average person has worse injustice or a worse life than the average person 1000 years ago.

And for me, the entire crux of your argument depends on believing that. So it just falls down.
"X% of the variability in flooding explained by climate change, regressions show" probably failed the A/B testing for engagement.
FTA: "Central Europe's devastating floods were made much worse by climate change"

There are always been floods. But now they get worse. How much worse ? I don't know.

And as another HNer said, land management has its part in this too...
I was hoping to find a voice like Microsoft's "Guy" (a name, not referring to the gender) or Google Assistant's "Pink". An unambiguously white, masculine, American "radio voice" or "audiobook narrator" voice.

ChatGPT describes this as "A rich, deep, and smooth tone that is pleasant to listen to for extended periods. This often comes from good control over pitch and timbre, creating a voice that resonates well."

If you watch youtube, voices in this theme are the Pirate Software guy, and the voice of The Infographics show.

There are similar voices for every gender, race, and nationality. As an American, Morgan Freeman comes to mind as a comfy black, masculine narrator voice.

All this is to lead up to my point that companies engage in a meticulous science when deciding who should voice roles, and especially when the product itself is literally just a synthetic voice and they near limitless capacity to shape it.

With that in mind, here are the voices that OpenAI wants us to hear:

Breeze: ambiguous gender, white, feminine

Juniper: female, black
Maple: female, white
Spruce: male, black, masculine
Arbor: male, Australian, masculine
Sol: female, white
Ember: male, black, less masculine
Cove: male, Sal Khan, less masculine
Vale: female, British

The only one that could be considered a narrator/radio voice is unambiguously black (great if that's your preference). It just seems weird that they would intentionally exclude a masculine white male, and that sucks because those are always my preferred voices when I'm looking for audiobooks or choosing a computer voice. It sucks in particular because OpenAI is not staffed by dumb people—this exclusion was intentional, and that's obnoxious.

My last note on the Advanced Voice feature is that it makes my phone HOT within a few seconds, which will limit it's usefulness on sunny days when I need hands-free use the most while the phone is mounted to my dash. This is when the device is already liable to overheat (display forced to dim, lagging due to shutting down CPU cores, and in the worst case the phone shutting off and refusing to work until it gets cooler).
I just used it as an example of some large service. The point is that I expect someone will take advantage.

It’s interesting to know that the limiting factor is bandwidth and not nginx/disk speed though. I’ll admit I don’t see 30Gbit of map tiles happening any time soon.
SIMM but also SA-CCR, VaR etc
If you are not the lazy one - what are those proper land managements? There were trees falling (not just in the cities) in Slovakia because it rained in one day like in a whole year.
I actually did invest in projects rather than papers and I definitely feel I paid the price. It's the main reason I opted for a postdoc rather than going straight on the academic market: the quality of my research was high, but the number of publications I have is too low to be competitive. At least that's what my PhD advisor said and I honestly agree, especially after speaking with people who just landed tenure-track jobs and more senior professors.
For most of my deployments, the performance impact of a reverse proxy is negligible, I have the configs pre-prepared and it allows me to add TLS termination, URL rewrites or other shenanigans without much effort in the future.
So for me, it's mostly a habit that has paid out so far.
