The vast majority of the value add in the economy is being done by capital. If you had a choice between 20% of the humans working/100% of the capital or 100% of the humans/20% of the capital, the low-human one would be workable but disruptive. The low capital scenario would be the worst crisis in the history of humanity.

Show HN: We built an AI chatbot for automating Instagram DMs
Hi HN, I’m Petar, Lead Software Engineer at ZenithChat. We recently launched a chatbot designed to help e-commerce stores automate their Instagram DM interactions.

Many e-commerce stores struggle to keep up with responding to a large volume of customer messages on Instagram. This often leads to generic automated responses or, worse, no response at all. Even if a support team is in place, answering the same set of questions repeatedly can become tedious.

That’s why we built ZenithChat—a smarter way to automate DM interactions. Our goal is to help page owners engage more effectively with their customers, ultimately leading to more sales.

Unlike other Instagram automation tools, ZenithChat is personalized and easy to set up—no complicated drag-and-drop builders. You can connect it to your Instagram page in just a few clicks, and it’s ready to go.

While other similar tools can also use LLM's, ZenithChat goes beyond basic API calls. It understands your Instagram posts, website content, and more. For example, you can forward it a post or a story, and ZenithChat will automatically pull all relevant product info. It can even handle customer orders by collecting shipping info, leaving you to just send out that order.

This is just the beginning—we have a lot more planned for the future!

If you're interested in learning more, check out our website or our recent Product Hunt launch: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/zenithchat.

You can also test it live on our demo Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/zenithchat__shop/

We’d love your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve!
A valid perspective.

I have noticed, not in every instance, but in many, that unusually wealthy people, especially wealthy and intelligent, have a tendency to detatch a bit from general reality, often becoming idealistic in ways that seem clear to the individual, but are fundamentally delusional. I think compassion and grounding has a tendency to become compromised by the insidious nuances imparted by security and abundance, ie great wealth.

Again, though, I've observed exceptions and am aware of the limitations to my own observations and may be missing a lot. I also do not protest wealth, but do wish it came with a sustained understanding of its underlying dependency on the very things, people and factors that enable it to be.
The SH4 is a really interesting chip, with some embryonic vector instruction. There are also SH variants with a DSP bolted on.
Is this an open-source product? How can we give feedback?
Show HN: Oodle – serverless, fully-managed, drop-in replacement for Prometheus
Hello HN!

My co-founder, Vijay and I are excited to open up Oodle for everyone.

We used to be observability geeks at Rubrik. Our metrics bills grew like 20x over 4 years. We tried to control spend by getting better visibility, blocking high cardinality labels like pod_id, cluster_id, and customer_id. But that made debugging issues complicated. App engineers hated blocking metrics, and blocking others' code reviews was not fun for platform engineers either! Migrations (and lock-ins) were very painful, the first migration from Influx to Signalfx took 6+ months and the second migration from Splunk took over a year.

Oodle is taking a new approach to building a cost-efficient serverless metrics observability platform. It delivers fast performance at high scale. We leverage custom storage format on S3, tuned for metrics data. Queries are serverless. The hard part is how to achieve fast performance while optimizing for costs (every cpu cycle, storage/memory byte counts!). We've written about the architecture in more detail on our blog: https://blog.oodle.ai/building-a-high-performance-low-cost-m...

If the difference is making the answer in a language that is not the native one (even if well understood enough) maybe more than language it is about getting closer to the second system than the first one, thinking slow and in a more rational way instead of a fast instinctive/long learned patterns one.

Some languages may have some implicit culture and ways to see some things (there was some TED talk several years ago that sustained that people tend to have more savings depending how the language represent the future selves, or something like that), but if for this the problem is not which language, but that it not is the native one then the focus should be put elsewhere.

Another interesting thing about using the timing of moon eclipses:

> Galileo proposed a method of establishing the time of day, and thus longitude, based on the times of the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter, in essence using the Jovian system as a cosmic clock. The times of the eclipses of the moons could be precisely calculated in advance and compared with local observations on land or on ship to determine the local time and hence longitude.

Also France looks to have winter-dominated electrical demand (50TWh in January 2023, 40TWh in April, 37TWh in August, 46TWh in November). See https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/data-tools/monthly-e... and select France.
A VM would do it, but what service has unmetered traffic? Don't they all have fine print where they reserve the right to charge you if you overextend your allowance?

To be clear: I want to pay for our traffic and don't want to free ride, but I want the failure mode to be "we cut you off" and not "we'll send you the bill later (possibly much later)".
Yeah, it's not a very helpful comment.

> "It’s strictly worse than using any other framework"

If you actually believe that, consider yourself very lucky.

React, like any FE framework, can be implemented well or implemented badly.

React benefits from a very strong (imo the strongest) ecosystem, so if you set up your tooling and patterns correctly its fantastic.

Here's my personal preference: NextJS as the backbone, RTKQ as the central data retrieval/API calls/caching management, RHF for form handling, ag-grid for data grids, and MUI as the component library (can optionally switch this to any equivalent).

If components are designed sufficiently generic and customizable, RTKQ is used to keep data fetching on component instances, and central state storage is avoided as much as possible, it's a great system. Unless you just really hate JSX syntax or something.
People use these summaries to generate spam which they sell to advertising networks, that's why they keep talking about it.

McSweeney's letter on childhood photos and phone storage
Neither of us are wrong per se- we are saying different things that are fully compatible with one another, but are both incomplete. However, I am using a biased model on purpose while aware of its limitations, and you seem to be confusing yours with reality, which is why mine seems “wrong” to you- because my model is specifically being used to show where yours does not fit reality. Looking at mode alone is pretty useless other than to make this one point, I think it is important to emphasize that I do not think it is somehow better than the improper use of averages I was criticizing, or that it should be generally used in the same way averages generally are.

What I am saying is important to me because I’m interested specifically in what health and life were like for those few people that made it to old age in ancient times - to see how it might provide ideas to improve our health today. For example, I have found that I need a huge amount of exercise and natural light or else I feel fatigued and depressed… I felt I “should not” need this, until I realized not getting this is some sort of anomaly in human history- and there is no reason to expect everyone to be able to handle low levels of light and activity.

Reading about “evolutionary medicine” theorizing was so fascinating it led me to get my doctorate and become an academic PI, although my research is not really in that area these days, I still find it interesting and useful as a hypothesis generator and not "anti science" as another person on here accused me of.

Is capital that is used to "produce" more capital actually productive, though? If you do finance games to instantiate money to open, say, a mine on credit and produce iron, clearly yes by most standards. If that money is instantiated just so it can sit in a ledger and make more money to also sit in a ledger, but most of that money never actually gets used for anything "real", then maybe not.

If the concept of "production" is simply equivalent to numbers in ledgers going up, then of course capital is productive. It's almost tautologically defined, you might as well call money "productivium".

However, if you define "productivity" as something else like "building things" or "improving life quality", or "increasing biodiversity" (yes, those things can be in tension, like the iron mine, and you can wish for "bad" things too: killing people is "production" in war, perhaps) then it's not a foregone conclusion that all capital is inherently productive.

"Ah yes", you say, "but that money that's reinvested elsewhere will eventually be used for something productive in the second sense". Perhaps, perhaps not, or maybe just some, but even if so, it's still possible for someone who doesn't live in "elsewhere" to have the sense that the capital has not been productive of practical value. And many, not all, but many, people might reasonably be wondering if there's so, so much much-vaunted "value" sloshing around, why it doesn't seem to manifest in their lives.

Any chance we might see Vulkan extensions to close this performance gap? Was really hoping Intel and AMD would team up to vreate an open standard that we could all have installed by default, but instead we get these clumsy vendor-specific solutions...
Really depends on how you get the storage/interface with it. Cloud/VPS is some of the worst 'bang for the buck' in my experience, where S3 or dedicated can be more favorable at a point. Not all gigglebytes cost the same :)

The article may shed some light on this, I'm not aware. Haven't read yet! I've managed a few RPM package mirrors. Dedicated gear that's a few generations old with no-name providers was the best experience.
Don't just build a game–build a community
I’ve been diving deep into the evolving role of today’s gamers and how they’ve transformed into more than just players. They’ve become creators, collaborators, and key contributors to game development.

In our latest blog post, we explore the rise of the community gamer—the player who’s not only playing but also actively contributing through feedback, fan content, and community events. These gamers are helping shape the direction of game development, and we’re seeing studios leverage this engagement to create more sustainable, player-driven experiences.
Once AI is here, it will need the likes of Ellison no more than a modern cattle farm needs powerful alpha-sheep to keep other sheep in line. AI won't need the concepts of money and power at all, just like we don't use money to extract honey from a bee colony or milk from a cow farm.

EMT is pretty flimsy stuff, why would you build anything with it when extruded aluminum and strut channel exist? Or even RMC, it’s much stronger than EMT. I know it’s a cost thing, but use the right material for the job.

One day ago, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, wrote a very enthusiastic blog post about what he calls the “intelligence age.”
In that blog post, he paints a highly optimistic vision of a prosperous future where each human will have a personal AI team working together to create “almost anything we can imagine.” Altman expects it to revolutionize teaching — with virtual tutors providing personalized instruction — as well as healthcare, the labor market, and almost every other aspect of life.
I'm happy to be downvoted/flagged for this, but please kindly fuck off from gatekeeping art.
You cannot use EMT to support actual weight. RMC or 12ga strut can support an actual load.

Progressbars for Markdown Now there's a spec
I wanted to have a progressbar in markdown so I sat down and created a spec for it. AI helped me draft a format that is markdown friendly.

The spec itself is here: https://github.com/markg85/static-hedgedoc/blob/main/specs/p... but it's better to view it through my static renderer (https://static-hedgedoc.sc2.nl/?mdfile=specs/progress_bar.md) as it obviously supports my own extensions :) Github doesn't.

The code that implements this can be found here (markdown-it): https://github.com/markg85/static-hedgedoc/blob/main/js/mark...

Some short examples:

This would show a bar full at 25%, no text on the bar. Here no min and max is specified so 0 and 100 is implied behind the scenes
[progress 25]

Same bar but with "25.00%"
[progress 25 "{%:.2}%"]

Or just the percentage
[progress 25 "{%}%"]

Or a more elaborate value (format is current | min | max) that also shows 25%:
[progress 1000 0 4000 "{%}%"]
Ah, nice!

Also TIL: Vimeo has a lending period thing now. Will watch it on the weekend.

If you dig into the article, it's evident that AWS is just trying to appease the UK's Competition and Markets Authority.

They don't really believe that on-prem is serious competition, but they pretend to in order to avoid litigation.
Totally agree.

Wordpress used as a CMS where you build everything from scratch using built in functions and the absolute minumum number of plugins (in my experience it was exactly 1, ACF) can generate sites that are solid.

I have projects I built a decade ago that are still online, are still running and haven't been hacked.

The problem is that the overwhelming majority of WP sites aren't built like that. Because "there's a plugin for that". And you end up with these monster sites with dozen of plugins, each importing their own scripts and styles, all injecting their own crap, all bringing in their own issues. And you use those on kitchen-sink style themes that are designed to do everything and end up doing nothing well.

But that's the inevitable result when you lower the barrier to the point where one can just click buttons and install whatever.
