Apples and oranges?
gRPC might sometimes fit the bill for server-to-server use cases, but it's completely unsuitable for integration with SPAs; grpc-web was never well-supported, and is now dead. I don't understand the "want to vomit" perspective. That implies that adding protoc to your build toolchain and using an opaque binary format/protocol is somehow much more palatable than well-documented JSON / REST over HTTP. What am I missing?
Too many GitHub repositories can integrate GPT into smart speakers.
That's a lot of assumption about how one uses the end result, and doesn't say anything about the creation itself.

What if I guide the machine to create something new that I personally could never have on my own, yet never share it with anyone?

It's a prosthetic leg for my brain, whose expected function is both ego and creativity.

Show HN: ThinkR – G1 but in R with Ollama
Hi guys,

I have made a package which basically does the same thing that g-1 or multi-1 does, just not in python but in R. It creates chain of thoughts with the open-source model and gives you a final answer.

Best, O
Your landing page is doing the heavy lifting here. Nice design.

You should do side by side comparisons of output from GPT4o/Claude and your product to sell me on why I should care about the RAG you added and your tuned prompts.

If you're giving away inference you should probably tell people how you're intending to make money from them. Free services that use expensive APIs are a big red flag for me.
Why doesn't it mention the used Java version? And a few flame graphs would be interesting as well.
It's slightly misleading to round that off to "protesting Israel's actions in Gaza".

It's very misleading to round it off that way, and that's exactly why Israel crafted that retweet the way it did.

Even though the underlying tweet tells a different story, by truncating and framing the material in that way -- by juxtaposing the insipid "(a)-(b)-(c)" argument with a video of a perfectly nondescript protest scene -- it's very clear that the intent to convey a simple, visceral, 3-second emotional impression: "protesting Israel's actions in gaza == support for terrorists == terrorism".
I noticed:

1. Small read buffers. No reason to sequentially read and parse gigabytes only 4kb at a time.

2. parseDelimitedFrom created a new CodedInputStream on every message, which has its own internal buffer; that's why you don't see a buffered stream wrapper in the examples. Every iteration of the loop is allocating fresh 4kb byte[]s.

3. The nio protobuf code creates wrappers for the allocated ByteBuffer on every iteration of the loop.

But the real sin with the protobuf code is serializing the same city names over and over, reading parsing and hashing. Making a header with the city string mapped to an integer would dramatically shrink the file and speed up parsing. If that was done, your cost would essentially be the cost of decoding varints.
That‘s a microcontroller, like I suggested.

As a small data set, my mother and grandparents all smoked like there was no tomorrow and drank plenty, but never had any cancer issues. Though my mother and grandfather both had COPD, my mother in particular spent the last few years of her too-short life (late 60s) basically drowning because she couldn't expel the CO2.

Prepared and ultra-processed foods, gut feel, seem to be a huge problem in many ways. A buddy of mine, his girlfriend is a big health nut and her rule of thumb is: Don't eat anything that has more than 4 ingredients or comes in a bag, and that seems like a good idea to me.
I'm hungarian, but I used to live in Irvine in the 90s, specifically on Turtle Rock. I went to University High School. I think Irvine is a prototypical rich US residential town: very boring, lots of doctors/engineers/lawyers, 2-3 car garage standard houses (like in the Simpsons), never meet the neighbours, you need a car to get anywhere, etc.

Nothing wrong with that really, can be appealing for adults in their 40s (like me today) but as a teenager I was bored out of my socks. I would probably not move to a place like that, I'd want my kid to have more stimulation. But happy to read that Irvine is doing well, I still have a lot of friends there.

That might be true in the extreme ends, say for Ironman athletes, but a bit misleading as a summary since we already have lots of data that moderate exercise correllates with reduced risks of everything from getting a cold to heart disease. If we’re comparing to people who don’t exercise, the alternative should be moderate exercise, not high intensity training. Also a bored and over-reactive immune system can be a pretty bad thing.

That's a good suggestion, I hadn't considered that. I could charge a fixed fee for access to the relay server, and then if it weren't in the relay's cache it'd use your API key so you'd be dynamically billed without losing access to the cache. It'd be a fairly large change for a small audience though (how many people are willing to setup API keys etc?). You'd find that it'd be more expensive if you used it a lot and less expensive if you didn't - right now I'm giving people access to ~1.8x more credit than they're charged for (please don't abuse it! I'll notice with how few users I have, anyway).

Right now my focus is on why not a single user has converted from the demo, and yet I got four from posting it on producthunt without a demo. I think I might not make it clear enough when it's ended - it stops translating and tells you if you open the popup, but maybe people aren't noticing?
Looking at a photo of the screen[1], it is a simple LCD dot matrix. I also read elsewhere that the problem is that the backlight tends to fade. So it seems like you have many options:

* Find an equivalent LCD matrix. This is probably not that hard. This display seems like a generic part and LCD matrix displays haven't changed much over time.

* Fix the backlight. That would mean taking the display apart and probably resoldering some LEDs, assuming that it's the LEDs and not, say, a capacitor that is causing the brightness to diminish.

Going beyond these options, you'd be getting into decoding the commands to the LCD driver chip and displaying those somehow, which will be custom hardware development.

That option means "your nameservers are now ns1/ns2 on your domain but they still map to Cloudflare", not "you get to pick your own third-party nameservers".
Wow! It has come such a long way since its early, humble beginnings.

I saw the original lightning talk that introduced Hy to the world at Pycon those ages ago. Soon after I met Paul and started contributing to the early versions of Hy. I was responsible for the CL-style kwargs (you’re welcome), some minor innards, and a library or two.

Whimsy is useful, especially to keep enthusiasm up. It’s nice when hackers can be hackers and not every thing is business.

Ah ok, same as me. I gather data from other places with Seafile to a ToBackup older (with a subfolder per system) and this gets backed up together with the main server key data.
> the other thing it did is start to legitimize this. If it’s only the Unabomber doing something, it’s clearly indefensible but as states use it other people will start to justify it on those grounds.

This is the most worrying part: Do we really need to normalize the idea of governments sending little bombs out into the civilian population and detonating them, hoping that they actually hit their targets? This is not how legitimate warfighting is done.
yeah, i appreciate the move to html, http, and json. although http/2 and http/3 arguably aren't really http, and scraping data out of html is ridiculously time-wasting. the shift toward cloudflare and secret criteria for blocking users whose sessions act "atypical" are also huge problems, but that's sort of what you'd expect from using software running on remote servers you can't control

17bn is more or less NASA's budget if you suddenly want to discuss the European scientific budget with America as a baseline. It's also more than two times the budget of the ESA (European Space Agency)

17bn is casually the yearly R&D budget of the top 10 MedTech companies combined. MedTech is a field with immediate commercial and industry value in improving people's lives.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/329064/global-medtech-re...

This is a single scientific project with the possibility of finding nothing new within a field of science that currently lacks commercial or industrial value outside of curiosity. And we're building it on the promise that "we may find something new" while lacking any established theory that would benefit from the higher energy level.

This is NOT chump change, and Using the American defence budget as a comparison is tone-deaf.

What do users think about Reviewradar?

Reviewradar:

User feedback on ReviewRadar varies, with many appreciating its functionality while some indicate areas that could use improvement. Here’s a detailed breakdown of sentiments based on user reviews:

Positive Aspects:

User Experience: Many users noted that the interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. One user expressed that ReviewRadar is "the best source of software reviews," highlighting the visibility and transparency it provides.

Comprehensive Review Collection: Users value the centralized nature of reviews, stating it allows for easy tracking and management of their online reputation. One respondent emphasized, "I can point possible customers to ReviewRadar, and they know that I haven't falsified any reviews".

Support and Updates: Some users appreciated the support team, remarking that they were responsive and helpful during the onboarding process. There’s a notable emphasis on the quick resolution time for any issues.

Critical Feedback:

Integration Limitations: A recurring theme in feedback pertains to a need for better integration with other applications. For instance, users have mentioned, "It would be great to see Google My Business integration" as a valuable addition.

Clarity in Reviews: While many find the review process thorough, some users have pointed out that there were instances of what they perceived as biased or unreliable reviews. This is particularly concerning in a landscape where fake reviews can distort genuine customer experiences.

Feature Requests: Certain users expressed the desire for more customization options in dashboards and reporting features, indicating that the current setup could be streamlined to improve usability.

General Sentiment:

The overall impression of ReviewRadar is largely positive, with a community of users who find it helpful in gathering insights and managing their online reviews. However, users desire enhancements in integrations and feature sets to maximize its potential.

Conclusion:

In summary, if you’re contemplating using ReviewRadar, the platform seems to be effective for managing software reviews and tracking customer feedback. Yet, be aware of the requests for improvements in integration and functionality from existing users.

If you have any specific features or areas in mind that you'd like to explore further, let me know!
Business is trying to maximize money. It seems like quality has much less of an impact on sales than many of us would wish. I am not sure why it is like that, but as long as it is... it is a financially rational decision to throw unpolished products on the market as fast as possible.

It would be easy to blame the customers. But let's look in the mirror -- how do I make purchase decisions as a customer?

Actually, not a good example, because I usually don't buy software. OK, I buy Windows, but... I don't feel like I have a choice between more polished and less polished versions of Windows. Other than that, I use free software. When I use software at work, someone else made the decision and I had zero input. And that kind of software usually sucks (now I am thinking of Confluence, Jira, and other user-hostile monstrosities).

So I guess a part of the answer is that if you sell software to business, there is no need to make it nice, because the people who decide whether the company buys it are not the ones who will be stuck with using it.

Most countries don't actually have their intelligence services routinely carry out assassinations and when they do the point of having the intelligence service do it rather than the military is usually to keep a low profile.
Google already had an arms-length subsidiary (Charleston Road Registry) to take care of that requirement. The Google Domains shutdown came much later.
I think Peter put into the right environment and restraints could still be a great thing. I really dislike the cancelling that's in a lot of gaming discussions for any personality that doesn't tell people what they want to hear, or fucks up so they can be cast as a villain (OTOH, I think many gamers just like drama, they love a redemption story too).

To my mind games should encourage the interesting, fantastical and weird "What if you could..." elements, and that's what Molyneux/Bullfrog/Lionhead have introduced repeatedly over the years. Developers like him should be prolific and encouraged as I'd really hate to see the breadth of gaming reduced and more focus on safe derivatives of a few genres. I'd love to hear him shoot the breeze on games and what others have produced, but he could only ever do it under a false name as his own carries too much baggage.

A significant risk factor for some cancers is chronic inflammation. Physical activity can help with that directly, but also indirectly as it can help reduce weight (diet is more important there). Reducing/eliminating chronic inflammation is generally a good thing anyways for other health concerns besides just cancer.
Congrats on the release! Very impressive.
A service that manages data cannot fail on such things. Nextcloud could refuse this first sync and point to solutions but losing data just "because the manual says rsync" is not acceptable
The ‘compliance theater’ often is filled with things which seem inane to your product, but the requirements themselves are often broad so that they cover many different types of products. Sure, we could add further granularity, but there is usually a ton of pushback and many people need to come to some compromise on what is relevant.
If only there was an existing gui library as mature at Qt4 written in these languages, so they could fork it.
It seems like HN's community very much lacks humour, given the response to your comment.
The distinction between transfer and synchronization is right and important. But two problems remain.

The first is that the requirement for synchronization is an architecture smell, and a really bad one. It means that two or more actors have the same responsibilities. It creates incentives to overload types, and type overloading is the ultimate antipattern.

The second is that what is needed is state evolution, where each step of evolution grants access to a new role and revokes the access of a previous role.

Inheritance is the solution to both of these problems: each step inherits from the step before, and each new derived type is visible only to its own roles.

But while an object is in flight, it has only one (self-describing) type: the state is transferred, and the behavior is what is done to it by the recipient: tantamount to running the constructor of the derived type.
Yeah I just googled it when I posted that comment. How disappointingly stupid.
I think it’s from dysautonomia impairing the immune system. Pretty much anything that affects the autonomic nervous system, which is a huge number of very different things, can trigger dysautonomia. The rational for my reasoning is that the propensity for cancer appears to occur at roughly the same rate as the propensity for dysautonomia regardless of the cause of dysautonomia.

Covid and the Covid Vaccine are both triggers for dysautonomia, I presume because both use the spike protein. The vaccine triggered mine but I have a strong genetic propensity for it anyway with multiple inherited anxiety disorders.
The vaccine?
Too early for any of the official things to say. We’re still in the “9/10 doctors say smoking is good for your waistline” phase.

Why not just look at the source of that magical crate?
It’s almost certainly much too early to have any data on the relationship between the pandemic and cancer. Cancer causing factors may take decades to turn into detectable cancers, and even if the data were available, publishing them can take a couple of years on top.
It very well might be.
Unless it isn’t. Frankly we don’t know what the long term effects of vaping and marijuana usage are because we’ve not really dug into them.

The federal government doesn't place a VAT or a sales tax on things but you'll be hard-pressed to find a state that does not do that. So while saying that income tax may not be the correct thing to hit people with taxes that's not the only tax that we have that is burdening us. So there is already a consumption based tax placed upon everyone. If there's a way to avoid sales tax please let me know so I can do it.

What the article does just briefly brush over is that 20% of GDP is needed to pay for the welfare state. That's actually the fundamental problem that we have going on right now. This has not incentivized people to get better jobs it has not incentivized people to maintain family relationships the welfare state has utterly failed in every goal that it's stated it was going to do. The one thing that it has done is make a permanent generational underclass that can continue to be exploited and manipulated. There is literally no incentive from any government person to actually fix the problem because once they do that they no longer have a third of the population that they can willingly manipulate. So all we get is continual lip service and more subsidies to keep people in this position generationally.

Perhaps the problem is that there are few self-organizing teams in companies. Managers needs to justify their salaries.
> "...you are better off making your own models to do this"

I'm doubtful you meant what you wrote here. Using a readymade UI or API to perform an effectively magical task (for most of us) is an entirely different paradigm to "just train your own model."

In reality, for us non-ML model training mortals, we're actually probably better off hiring a human to do basic data entry.

Hello HN, I often see arguments about the agile process on here, most recently on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41612154

My question is this; what alternatives are there to agile? I know there is the waterfall method, but from what I understand we as an industry moved to agile because of the weakness of waterfall in the internet era. What other alternatives do you suggest? Where should we look for improvements?

>With Java, you have to go out of your way to maintain good cache locality because you give up control over memory layout for automatic memory management.

There is a shadowy cult in a hidden corner of the Java community, an heresy to many, only followed by a handful of obnoxious zealots inspired by the dark ages of Ada 83, C, or even assembly, who take pride in creating Java programs that only allocate a finite amount of objects regardless of how long you run them for, and to which the "new" keyword is a taboo which avoidable use is assimilated to blasphemy.
