you mention your child is making games with powerpoint. a lot of suggestions are for platforms that let your child dip their toes in coding. i'd like to go another direction: consider "tabletop simulator", a virtual board/card game platform.

in TTS, you can import assets easily (as cards or tokens or boards) and move them around in game with no effort. this is enough to play the game, but TTS won't enforce any rules. adding rules enforcement will require coding.

TTS will basically be powerpoint on steroids for your young game designer, allowing quick iteration and more interactive expression options without getting bogged down in encoding the logic of it all. it's less of an engineering gateway and more of a game design gateway.

Also, I'm pretty sure range requests are going to be difficult to cache. That implies going to origin every request which is bad.

> You are going with assumption that llms will remain same forever.

I definitely am not and that’s stated directly in my post. I specifically said “but no one doubts more will be possible”.

> There are attempts everywhere to make them smaller, efficient and more focused.

That doesn’t matter when the issue is inherit. An LLM, by definition, needs large amounts of data and acts on them probabilistically. If you change that, it’s no longer an LLM. Any system that requires predictability needs to be programmed with rules we can understand, test, and reproduce reliably. LLMs ain’t it, and won’t ever be. Something else by a different name, maybe.

> Would you have called « transferring mails online « in the 90s is hype-chasing because our postal system was working great? Probably not a great analogy but you get the point

I understand analogies are never perfect, but that’s a particularly bad one. At least stay within the same realm of physicality. You made a bad comparison then ascribed a bad argument to be against it. That’s a straw man. I don’t even believe our current digital system is “working great”, so the analogy fails on multiple levels.

There are bad programmers and bad technology everywhere, the world is barely held by proverbial spit and bubblegum. Yet that doesn’t mean any crap that’s invented afterwards, be it “web3” or LLMs are immediately the solution.

It is not there. I even searched to find who did design the C-15. I found no credited designer.

I don't know where the belief came from but my ID department had a pipeline into Henry Dreyfuss and Associates right until I graduated. I had a lot of close contact and maybe that is where I learned this fact. It's also possible that 3M has an internal design department therefore no credit is given. I have to point out that is just like 3M to dispose of mining waste a little at time in the form of tape dispensers. That is some real vertical integration.

Finally I'm surprised that the you believe the HDA is incapable of designing forms such as the C-15. They designed the "Princess"" phone and the round Honeywell thermostat.

3M was featured in "Search of Excellence" I think focusing on the the post-it note invention. They wanted a super strong glue and instead got a mild glue and turned it into the post-it note.

I will see what they say about the internal design department.

> a couple hundred people

That will only scratch the surface. There are way more videos to watch than that; and way more dangerous videos.

To put it in perspective: I pay $22 / month for a family plan. That pays for 0.5 / 4 hours of labor, depending on who/where you hire. We probably watch 40+ hours of Youtube a month.

In contrast, "in the olden days" when TV only had a few channels, you betcha someone was carefully choosing what went out over the airwaves.

So think more critically about numbers here: There's no way "a couple hundred people" can police Youtube. The economics don't make sense.
> So disabling tracking would only hit only those that ride on the advertising budgets of companies.

Reading this, it occurs to me that there's another group that would be hit: the tracking "industry" that has sprung up. They would become redundant. Perhaps that's why they're so vocal.
I suggest Unreal Engine, 11 years is old enough to follow tutorials on YouTube. I think I was at around this age when I played with Game Maker on Commodore 64.

There's not much coding required in UE, but there's some learning curve that's for sure. Having an instant feedback however is really good for learning.

I would also suggest https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/ which is a good for 2D RPG games, there are quite a few variants of they they released.
My honest answer from the "inside" is two things: 1) self-driving cars/trucks has dominated funding (now drones) for too long and 2) iRobot is barely getting by, spooking investors away from household robots.

10 years ago there were startup floor cleaners, warehouse robots, pool scrubbers, all making the news. Now people have tightened up their portfolios a little, I think, and those ideas get less funding behind DoD applications or self-driving stuff.
Hopefully there will be in future. But for now the docs do have fancy GIF illustrations of Phobos features used, which is the closest you can get.
That's not a like-for-like comparison, though. ~2TB local NVMe storage included here, 10 (70%) more CPU cores, and more than twice the RAM.
That's true: they do sponsor projects, as does cloudflare.

They could use you as a PoC/demo for their serverless stuff. Same with cloudflare.

I worked at a Canadian bank that operated like this. They had one "rock star" UI/UX developer that was deployed to build every new customer-facing initiative, but they moved them to the next project as soon as the current one made it to the testing phase.

The residual team was left to clean up their code and make it work, which often involved significant rework.

I raised my concerns with management that they were cheating their "rock star" dev out of valuable learning experiences and perpetuating the problem - the dev made the same errors on each new project. Not to mention, perpetuating their testing nightmares.
> Even the victim’s family believes life without parole is the appropriate sentence

That is odd, if there is no evidence that links him to the crime why not argue to let him go? Is that just from a desire to have someone punished, no matter who it is.
We could support any API. We’re focused on building data pipelines and tooling for LLM use cases.

Same here, except it just made me combative on HN.

I'm waiting for the day dang blocks my account for a violation AND deletes all my posts, because YC won't honor a CCPA request without proof of identity, and I'm a bit too close for comfort with the YC community so I do not want to furnish that to him or YC.

If there was a way to filter accounts created after 2021, or with a polarity score, I'd be happy staying on here, but at this point it's a form of social media addiction due to the dopamine rush of the occasionally level headed conversation and debate.
I've always wanted to try hueforge, how is it?

Although primarily I'd really like to be able to print full colour 3d busts, I understand that the point of hueforge is that it's 2d because it works like a picture box/shadow box with the layers.

Doing 3d is just a regular multi-colour print I suppose but the only annoying thing is that small regions of colour just require too much flushing. :/
I have memories of computer mediated social networks that extend back to about 1982 or so. For a long time, I got messages from friends I met there at this email address

> likely perform far better at serving static content and other cacheable requests.

But at the cost of having a separate build step that deploys your static assets somewhere. Jetty is actually pretty fast - I've built some fairly high-volume internal apps this way.

> Also allows you to run two binaries at once for a rolling update.

You don't necessarily need an extra reverse proxy layer for this, though I will concede in some environments it's probably the easiest way to achieve it.
No one needs 100,000 LOC for a blog. A while back I wrote a blog generator for myself that took one markdown file per post and a template and turned it into a directory of static HTML files. The whole thing is 46 lines of shell script. The only dependency is a markdown parser.
Post author and Wafris co-founder here. Conceptually "rate limiting to prevent abuse" (what we're doing here) and "rate limiting for API throttling" have different levels for tolerance.

With that in mind, it's setting higher levels of limiting and doing the math to push that out over many machines/instances/dynos. That helps for things like scraping prevention, etc.

For issues like credential stuffing attacks, you'd want a lower limit but also coupled with mitigations like IP bans, IP reputation, etc. to deal with underlying issue.
Ask not what the LLM can do for you. Ask what you can do in order to prompt the LLM better so it can finally produce the correct result. The more that happens, the more it can learn and we can all win.

Think of it like voluntarily contributing your improvements to an open source library that we can all use. Except where the library is actually closed source, and controlled by a for-profit corporation.

This is only the first stage: https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/ we need you to continue to prompt it.

Train the LLM by feeding it all your data. Allow it to get better. We all win from it. Maybe not today, but one day. It may take your job but it will free you up to do other things and you will thank your LLM overlords hehe

Why do people jump all the way to humanoid? That little box with an arm on it would not cost more than 10k, and I'd gladly take one for upstairs and one for downstairs WAY BEFORE I'd buy a 100kg walking steel frame to coexist with my toddlers.
Customizing Llama Models: self-help guides
Customizing Llama models is one, if not the single most valuable thing about Llama models (due to their open source nature).

What can Meta provide to help developers in taking full advantage of the models' customization potential?

I think the most useful answer for us at Meta to hear from the community is: how can we create self-help resources that the community can leverage to democratize access to model customization?
Pricing is surprising, typically Hetzner has extremely low prices, yet here there are 50%-70% more expensive then the competition, and you also pay a one time setup cost.
Even when it does, GPUs with more VRAM than a flagship gaming model have always and will always come at a massive price premium. That ceiling is currently 24GB, if you need more than that it's going to cost you.
Rarely read from someone so immune to constructive criticism, that is so full of himself, it is reason enough to avoid anything he touches.

It's difficult to see when the 80% will ever pay off. They're a year in and he's got 94% health - but with that limit in place that's an effective battery capacity of 73% (0.94*0.8). At the rate that the others' batteries are degrading it's going to be close to 2 years before they even hit 80% capacity let alone the 60-70% that would make the 80% limited battery have better total real battery time. And at that point what are we saying? You're trading a good chunk of your battery in the first two years of its life for a few percent more several years into owning the phone?

It seems difficult from these numbers to see when, if ever, this choice is going to pay off for the people who opt in.
Or perhaps it’s just not that good with other languages and accents.
Putting it like that, and I like putting it like that, sounds like LLMs are to Wikipedia what shoes are to people who want to go from A to B.

Show HN: Ameliorate – Analyze Debatable Problems
Hi HN, I'm building Ameliorate, a tool that helps you visualize all details and perspectives relevant to a problem.

I get frustrated when discussions about problems don't go anywhere. When problems are complex and people have different understandings, it gets really hard to effectively communicate about it all.

In order to reduce misunderstandings, I feel that it would be immensely helpful if

- discussion is contextualized within a visual breakdown of the problem,

- we're explicit about intuitions, reasoning, unknowns, and

- we can acknowledge nuanced details without stepping away from our main points.

I think doing these things in a manner that's organized, navigable, and maintainable is something that's more achievable with a specialized tool. I'm not aware of such a tool[1], so I started building Ameliorate.

I feel strongly that a tool like this, if done well, could really help with solving problems generally. I've been working on it full-time for a year and a half now, and I plan on spending at least the next year[2] continuing full-time.

There's a lot of refining to do, and I have a million ideas[3] for ways to improve the tool, but now that it's got a solid base of features, I'm focusing more on finding opportunities to share about the tool and help others benefit from using it for their own situations (and therefore to get more feedback for refining it further).

I'd love to hear any suggestions, questions, criticism, or feedback you have :)

Repo: https://github.com/amelioro/ameliorate

[1] Tools for argument (e.g. https://www.kialo.com/) handle reasoning very well, but don't contextualize them within the breakdown of a problem. Ibis diagram tools (e.g. https://debatemap.app/) do the same, and nicely allow contextualizing arguments to a problem (in the form of a question or position), but don't break down the problem. Free-form diagram tools (e.g. https://miro.com/) allow you to visualize the breakdown of a problem, but can't help much with organizing/navigating all the details because kinds of information aren't distinguished.

[2] If it takes off, I might look for ways to get funding, but I don't want to go any routes that impede accessibility or UX (maybe offering private hosting, consulting, workshops?)

I appreciate the author sharing technical details about how they build their blog. I do.

However I'd like ask the HN community here to share some examples of really simple blogs? Those that do not take building Rube Goldberg machines to publish the blogs. Perhaps those where the posts are just simple HTMLs. I'll take slapping a header and footer with some scripting or SSIs. But that's about it. Do you know any such simple examples of blogs? I think such blogs are under-appreciated and should be highlighted more often on HN.

And the results speak for themselves.
Keep in mind that Busicom was pretty much asking for a custom made controller in the beginning (more accurately, a set of chios), but Intel suggested a simpler solution. In the end, calculators ended up being sold in such large volumes that it ended up being cheaper to have an application specific controller. (That said, more sophisticated calculators still use microcontrollers.)
The new chat memory feature got enabled by default.
The problem with hetzner, or any point solution, is that at some point you will saturate your bandwidth - either on the network or storage side.

Maybe it's worth front-ending it with cloudflare free, just to see/measure cache hits/requests/bandwidth?
The prosecutor who wanted to pardon him was not the original prosecutor, but a recent progressive elected one. The original prosecutor still believes he is guilty. Furthermore it is highly suspect that he was caught selling the laptop stolen from her house and the story about how he came into it is implausible.

People who are willing to commit murder are often sociopaths and pathological liars. It isn’t surprising he would maintain his innocence for years.

That said we shouldn’t execute him, there’s enough doubt to make it possible he didn’t do it and executing an innocent man is horrendous. And IMO we should eliminate the death penalty anyway.

But regardless, I still find the weight of evidence much stronger in favor of guilt over innocence.

tl;dr:

Meta is ending its direct peering relationship with Deutsche Telekom due to the company's actions that undermine net neutrality and put the open internet at risk.

Deutsche Telekom is using its market power to potentially restrict its subscribers' access to internet services that do not pay the company additional fees, creating a de facto paywall.

Importantly: This is Facebook complaining, hoping to pressure Deutche Telekom through public humiliation. They have peering agreements elsewhere where strict access to Facebook without open Internet access is allowed. So if shutting down open Internet access benefits Facebook, they're happy.

Impending death based on what? There’s plenty of boutiques that cater to things above “the necessities”, like groceries or clothes. Why do we need mom and pop grocery? It’s not efficient. Take a look around at the amount of thrift or boutique clothings shops, they’re small but large in number and it’s not even including purely online boutique. People who cry about the death of the corner store have insane tunnel vision.

My daughter is 11 and has been making simple games on Scratch.

There's a lot of assets (images, characters, backgrounds) already in the system. The sending signals and receiving signals wasn't intuitive for her at first, but now she's getting it pretty well.

I don't think she could/would have figured it out on her own yet. Her older sister is 14 and spent a lot of time learning Scratch last year, so she was able to help her over the hurdles (like signaling). The 14 year old was able to learn it on her own, though I did teach her some concepts like loops and variables at the very start.
on a slightly different tack - games that are programming-like:

- Minecraft
- Human Resource Machine
- The Sequence (Android)
- Any complex management game

this is the self-destructive behaviour that's prevalent in the JS ecosystem.
