> Are you bragging that it did work for nearly 99% of your trip, and therefore the haters are out of sorts?

As someone who has trialed FSD, I'd say the haters are out of sorts.

There are situations it handles surprisingly well. I drove through some road construction and FSD gracefully handled following the traffic cones that guided cars outside the painted lines. I was able to have FSD drive me from right outside my house (It won't back out of the driveway yet) to a friend's house across town completely automated with zero intervention. 15 miles of both surface streets (Including neighborhood streets with no painted lines and curbs lined with cars) and busy highway.

But there are still some bone-headed things it does. When one lane turns into two, it still sometimes gets confused and tries to drive in the middle and then suddenly decides to take a specific lane and swerves into it. It is overly cautious at stop signs and will easily piss off anybody behind you.

I truly believe that Tesla will achieve actual FSD, but it just won't be on the timescale that Elon keeps saying. I also think that FSD will eventually be Level 5 capable, but they won't call it Level 5 and still expect drivers to pay attention so they can dodge legal liability.

I'm sorry for being ignorant but how does this work? Is there an LLM underneath? Does it use ChatGPT? If so, how do you maintain the privacy and how are you able to cover expenses? I'm just curious, it looks pretty great though.
Oh true, I didn't consider that. I guess parents have no agency over their children.

Competition Results: Binders to EGFR
Full disclosure: my employers competition, but I think the results are cool.

Added "results" to the title to be clearer that this is not ongoing, hope that level of editorializing is okay, I tried to match the "blandness" level.

I've been to restaurants that have pictures of every dish on the menu. Those menus end up being the size of large books, and in one case the menu was delivered in the form of a three ring binder with laminated pages to flip through.

Good menu layout and design costs money, laying out 30 or so pages with full pictures of every dish, and then printing a bunch of those up, is not reasonable.

Meanwhile online menus can be searched and filtered through.

That said I think that online menus are generally sub-par compared to paper, mostly because paper is better than a screen for most things, for people who don't know a given cuisine, pictures are essential.
Geez, as architecture these plans are absolutely horrible and produce unusable spaces. As an abstract math problem, it seems marginally useful, but I would not want to live in a place laid out by this algorithm.
People tend to overestimate what they can do in a day and underestimate what they can do in a few thousand days
I don't see how the current state of AI tech is not for the ultra-rich. It's hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investment from who? Corporations and those who own the most shares of those corporations(the rich).

Billionaires could make so much change happen but instead they are building bunkers and riding giant dicks into space while simultanously touting that they are looking out for humanity.
It's not at all about how much is being charged.

The difference with gas stations, and it can't be underestimated, is that I can typically stop at a minimum every 30 miles and refuel at a gas pump. It's almost guaranteed. Sure, driving through sparsely populated areas on a remote highway might be different, but every interstate highway is going to have reliable fueling infrastructure for ICE's. I don't have to worry if the pump is broken, I don't have to worry about waiting 45 minutes for a pump, and I certainly don't have to worry about if there will be a pump at all.

Those drones weren't developed because of the war. But the existence of those drones (among other newish technologies) might plausibly have something to do with Ukraine believing they can successfully resist.
Easier and better. I find new music I enjoy more readily than I ever did with radio + CDs, including obscure artists. As a bonus, it’s cheaper than buying albums where I may only like one or two songs, no ads, no physical storage space required, no CD swapping in the car, easy to create playlists at any time, including playlists defined based on metadata. The list goes on.

I’m using Apple Music, in my case.
Somehow I read through this without actually looking at the domain name of the page. I thought to my self "Wow, this person is living in a fantasy world." Then I saw the authors name. I think I'll stand by my initial impression.
Many of the urgent problems in US healthcare are man-made and economic/organizational, not scientific, in nature.

This is actually one of the areas where I'm pretty optimistic about LLMs (at least if used defensively against, not aggressively by, sprawling bureaucracies).

LLMs can be the email-to-dozens-of-hours-on-the-phone-for-personal-reasons adapter anyone other than billionaires and company execs could only dream of until now.
That’s a bit funny, Moores law itself is an example of an executive being loud and making a grand proclamation
Such a sensible syntax, right? The official ARM docs use it too. Not even sure who invented it, ARM or GAS. Anyway, that's another good reason to start with ARM.

There's also legacy ARMASM syntax that is barely worth mentioning.
Show HN: I made a small platform to collect feedback
Hello everyone!

My co-founder and I are developing a mid-sized travel platform. (By the way, we met on cofounder-matching, an excellent platform)

In the process of development, we decided to create a feature to collect customer reviews on the site. It's simple enough: You put a rating in stars and write a review.

It seemed incredible to me to launch this project separately from the main project because, in my experience of working in companies, it was often done again.

I started this project as a test run for Indie Making.

Right now, the functionality is pretty modest (as well as the cost); you put in a script, collect data, and analyze it.

If you have any ideas on how to improve the project, what to pay attention to, or what functionality is sorely lacking, I will be glad to listen and discuss them.

Thank you!
Ah interesting, I figured that a properly set and identified label element would suffice - I haven’t noticed our sniffer complaining yet we also strictly use the for attribute and don’t wrap controls that I’m aware of. Thanks for the insight!
Would it shatter your hypothesis to reframe the problem as extrusion limitations?
The X68k was an absolutely amazing line of machines. Beautiful industrial design in and out.

The FM Towns relied on Intel CPUs, but the rest of the hardware was designed more or less like any other Japanese system of the era with specialized graphics and sound hardware. I believe it also was capable of booting off of CDs and running the software directly without having to install anything to an internal hard drive.

The specifications of the graphics and sound hardware were bleeding edge for sprite-based hardware of the time and included some really incredible graphics modes that far exceeded normal VGA plus had some really arcade level sprite hardware which the IBM-PC graphics hardware never offered.

The audio hardware was likewise well in excess of contemporary PC soundcards. It also mirrored arcade level hardware in capability.

In some ways, the FM Towns was as much a general purpose Personal Arcade as it was a Computer.

I'm sure that impersonation of Taylor Swift really scared the represenatives. A billionaire trying to copy the likeness of another billionaire for votes. I'm sure even some hard staunched conservatives realize how badly that can end.
It was pretty common to distribute code as "listing" like this. Typically it came with a checksum for every line and a small program to compute and print that for your own program that you had typed over, which you could then use to fairly quickly(-ish) spot any typos.

All of this is how I learned to program by the way. Kids these days don't know how easy they have it.

Thanks for the kind words :)

>learning that this is a labor of love

I underestimated both the amount of labor and the amount of love that would be involved. There were more than a few "throw everything out and start over" events along the way to this milestone.

Clojure definitely had a huge impact on how I think about software. Similarly, Haskell and Idris have rearranged my brain. However, I still let Java be Java. The humble object is really tough to beat for managing many kinds of runtime concerns. The book advocates for strongly typed data and leveraging the type system as a tool for thinking.

>Java's recent innovations certainly make this a lot easier

Yeah, it's an exciting time! Java has evolved so much. Algebraic types, pattern matching, `with` expressions -- all kinds of goodies for dealing with data.
F1 Wing Trick That Helped Oscar Piastri Win the Azerbaijan GP
The scope of the average paywall is quite different, letting only some specific crawlers pass for indexing but not meaning to let anyone read who isn't subscribed. I can see the similarity you mean and it's an interesting case to compare with, but "everyone should pay, but we want to be findable" seems different to me from "only things that look like bots to us should pay". Perhaps also because the implementation of the former is easy (look up guidance for the search engines you want to be in; plain allowlist-based) and the latter is nigh impossible (needs heuristics and the bot operators can try to not match them but an average person can't do anything)
That's closer than I thought, to be honest.

Note also that the 4004 lacks a floating-point unit of any kind - not just a vector unit. I think people make 8-bit integer quantizations of LLMs, though, which would be the fastest versions to run on a 4004.
I believe there's a certain degree of "reputation management" happening with HN, and it seems unfair that we're not allowed to even talk about it.

That being said, I can understand why you don't want to see the comments degenerate into people accusing each other of being shills and bots.
My go to criteria for picking a restaurant is "do I not recognize the dishes they are serving?" As in, I prefer to go to places where I don't recognize anything on the menu.

I'll rotate through eating at a handful of restaurants until I've sampled everything on the menu, then I'll go look for a new batch of restaurants to try out.

In other words, my day to day is being in a restaurant with unfamiliar dishes!

That said I have no qualms ordering a dish and not having any idea what I'll be getting, but I know plenty of adventurous eaters who want to have at least a general idea of what they'll be getting and having a bunch of pictures available is easier than asking the waiter to describe every dish in a menu for a new cuisine.

(The one flaw with this plan is my rate of exploration is greater than the rate of new restaurants opening in my area, even living in a major west coast city, so I have to keep travelling farther and farther from home to find new places to eat! Also different cultural groups centralize in different places, which can lengthen the commute needed to find good food!)
I want to firmly state that this is (fucking badly) mis-stating my whole point.

> But in those cases your problem is the alternative. If you don't use Tor then you're trapped between the oppressive option of self-censorship or the even more dangerous option of not censoring yourself while also not using any privacy technology.

Don't use online communication. Period. Talk to people face to face.

> "Just build your own internet" is frequently not a realistic proposal.

Don't use online communication. Period. Talk to people face to face.

> Which does imply that the "singles you out" argument doesn't really apply to anyone who is in the US or any country with a non-authoritarian government.

Not my damn point. And you well know it, you just don't want to concede a breath of air to the idea that you might be wrong...

> Moreover, the more people use it the less using it singles anyone out, and the more people contribute to making it harder to detect etc. See also Hofstadter's theory of superrationality.

Fallacy is fallacy. Dreaming of a utopia does not make it so, and expecting the average person to take this stance just isn't a realistic expectation. Noble goal. Shit thing to risk your personal safety on.

---

And that's the point. I advocate for these tools, I use them I when I think they're appropriate. Failing to be able to consider a possible downside isn't a "good" thing. It doesn't make the argument for these tools stronger... it makes it hard to evaluate your risk, and personally - makes me think you're actively undermining real efforts for security.

So if your actual stance is "Use these tools even though I understand it compromises your personal safety - I don't care because blah blah blah"... then I don't have enough respect for you to continue the conversation. You are only acting for you, and that's shitty.
I used to port games to linux (from windows). There is just a huge amount of work porting each game, even if the tech used is somewhat cross platform to begin with. Game devs in general (and the people funding them) are just not interested in doing that work; they have more than enough work just getting the game to ship on their primary target platforms. And at least back in my day, native linux ports sold extremely poorly.

Aside from that there is a huge catalog of games using DX 9-12 and other windows-specific APIs that is just never going to get ported and that even valve would never be able to get source code for. Most of that source code is essentially unobtainable and in some cases has passed through multiple IP holders such that whoever owns it now (most likely a big company like EA or microsoft) doesn't even know what they have, let alone how to build it or even where the archives are.

An additional fact is that nowadays many older games have communities that have modded them unofficially by resorting to DLL injection and other hacks - these hacks can work under proton with the windows executable, but would fail on with a native linux binary. An example is oblivion script extender and its many cousins for that family of bethesda games. Many of the more advanced mods for those games require the capabilities of those low level hacks.
I am convinced that these many of these proclamations and scary AI videos are more of a marketing gimic for people to get excited and fund more AI.

AI is prohibitively expensive. LLMs can take millions to train, and for Chatgpt 4, I wouldn't be surprised if the figure was in .5b to 2b range for compute resources alone. ChatGPT struggles for profitability due to high ongoing requirements for GPUs.

LLMs were a huge breakthrough. Gaining more funding and making experimentation cheaper will make the next breakthrough come sooner. Profitability will also come sooner.

We just don't know the timelines we are considering about changing.
This is dated 1950, when the Manchester "Baby" was working, but the Mark I wasn't working yet. This was five years after Von Neumann's original draft of the EDVAC design. The EDVAC itself was delivered in 1949. Actual EDVAC report [2] (reset in Tex for readability) [3].

The EDVAC report is something everyone in computer science should read, if they haven't already.

The big problem in the early days was memory. Early memory systems were not only small, but were usually delay lines, where you have to wait for the slot you want to come around, like a disk. Not random access. Both the EDVAC and the MARK I had some true CRT-type random access memory, but not much of it. The Mark I had an index register, which was missing from the EDVAC. That was the last essential piece of CPU architecture needed to make programming reasonably sane. Otherwise you had to store into your program code to index.

Not sure if this is in the direction that you're going but try storia.ai
One thing I was thinking about was live translation. We gotta be near the stage where I can take earbuds with me to Spain and hear what the locals are saying in English? There's already apps that are pretty good at "talk to it and it hears the words, prints them, and prints the translation", so it would seem to be close?
Ah so this is the real reason verizon has been pushing people to upgrade and sending new boxes.
But they were all the same, so the box they chose didn't matter. The first is just as good as the last.

So the people who made the snap judgements were no better or worse off than those who slept on it. I would say this study says close to nothing.
Slant looked at Scott’s design and suggested some changes. You might find it interesting. https://youtu.be/b1RBo7f0Zb0
I am not sure if this fits your usecase - but why not just to use encrypted Notes on a Mac or iPhone (if you have an Apple device), and set a daily reminder? What does WhatsApp have that Notes doesn't?
This is the hardest I've ever been judged for a typo! haha.
Interesting observation. My experience with o1 has been much more mundane. Sometimes I get the response I wanted, sometime it hallucinates, often times it writes buggy code. I've been experiencing this since ChatGPT was first released.
That's very cool! I can imagine using it with an old iPhone as a permanent, cloud-connected alarm clock. Would save having to pop the phone in and out every time.

> put AI into the hands of as many people as possible

... by establishing regulatory moats to prevent competition and limit or outlaw actually-open AI?
Fair enough. I think the difference is that any issue that falls into the "save humanity" category, such as colonizing other planets, or saving the earth from global warming, do not feel urgent for me, because of my perspective. For the Earth to be uninhabitable due to global warming would mean that it could no longer serve its intended purpose, and thus God would wrap things up before that point in time. Now it's perfectly fair to ask "What if you're wrong?" I don't believe I am, but I am willing to do my best to take care of the Earth the best I can. It is after all God's beautiful creation, under our stewardship. But I have to balance that with many other things that may be more important. For example, having a strong economy with the help of fossil fuel, so that families can support having children, etc...
I'm no architect, but surely the precise details of the exterior walls are decided based on the floor plan, not the other way around? Seems odd to assume the walls are fixed before the floor plan has been determined.

Of course, the shape of the lot and other physical factors put general limitations on the bounds of the house, but filling the entire lot isn't usually the primary goal.

Maybe it's more useful for a renovation?
Too early and code quality isn't as good as you think.
It's a bummer that NetworkChuck makes use of very similarly-styled titles [0], so it feels like I have to take an extra step when recommending his content to friends/coworkers, but I think he's one of a select few creators who is still worth watching even if it's just for some surface-level introductions to new topics or fun simple projects.

Could you elaborate on why that works, or why it's necessary?
Congrats on your accomplishments!

I had two friends who both wrote separate books on JS. One early book on Angular and the other was about jQuery. Both had a hard time with the critical reviews they received on Amazon and it really dissuaded them from doing any more technical writing.

I love your approach and hope you keep writing and don't let the trolls get to you! Our industry needs more people who have this "soup to nuts" approach and take into account how nearly every language has changed dramatically over time.

Again, congrats and keep writing.
I've been to restaurants with home printed laminated menus. It cheapens the entire experience, to an incredible degree.

The inks fade very quickly, the lamination job feels like, well, a elementary school art project, and there is no way a nicer upscale establishment is doing this. (And with food prices being what they are, almost everyplace now days is a "nicer" place!)

Meanwhile there is a damn good reason that the fancy expensive cocktails at get their own full color advert at every table! Making food look good, with high quality design and printing, makes the food look more desirable.
Crypto bro sells AI; news at 11.
I'm not here to defend sama, but certain things cannot be proven until they arrive - they can only be extrapolated from existing observations and theoretical limits.

Imagine the Uranium Committee of early 40's, where Szilard and others were babbling about 10kg of some magical metal exploding briefly with the power of a sun, with the best evidence being some funky trail in an alcohol vapor chamber.

Maybe sama is right, maybe not, but the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

If I read TFA correctly it looks like they're doing codegen to IL (which is analogous to Java bytecode, but for .net), which would probably mean your rust code is subject to GC?

It seems like you would get rid of performance benefits of rust.

But .net can do unsafe pointer operations and it can pin objects to avoid GC (they call it "handles" iirc).
OK, so the defusedxml.lxml submodule is deprecated and one should use the other APIs from defusedxml instead. That does not mean that defusedxml in it's entirety would be useless.
Ejection mechanism on this seems much more sensible.
“If we don’t build enough infrastructure, AI will be a very limited resource that wars get fought over and that becomes mostly a tool for rich people.”

… This, and nothing about the democratizing effect of “open source AI” (Yes we still need to define what that is!).

I don’t want Sam as the thought leader of AI. I even prefer Zuck.

Are there any thought leaders that are really about democratization and local foss AI on open hardware? Or do they always follow (or step into the light) after the big moneymakers have had their moment? Who can we start watching? The Linus, the RMS, the Wozniak’s of AI. Who are they?
Hilariously (in the absurd way), this affects my girlfriend, who prefers and uses the Microsoft account feature AND onedrive exactly how Microsoft would hope she would, and STILL gets fucked by their stupidity.
