> If companies can't use Open Source without the risk that the project could ban them from using it, even if the company adheres to the letter of the license (if not the spirit), then most companies won't use Open Source.

But access to wordpress.org's servers has nothing to do with Open Source. WP Engine is free to use and modify the WordPress code to their heart's content. They just don't get to use the wordpress.org servers for free anymore.
And humans spent even more effort to navigate themselves. As they were getting to the birds, as they were observing the birds and as they were getting back from the birds. Everyone who is not blindly thumbling or being pushed by winds or water does some sort of navigation. Even if just relative to their surroundings.

I would argue that observing birds by eyes does not really help you teach a slab of silicone to distinguish birds. But if you feel that it does, then surelly all the walking, riding, sailing around humans did should also be counted to the navigation task.

How much of this is simply a lack of healthcare availability in rural areas? We've been seeing reports for years of health clinics and hospitals closing in rural areas. Even emergency services are becoming problematic.

Consider that cardiovascular issues are one of the leading causes of death in the US. Time is of the essence. If your local hospital has been closed, your emergency services have been consolidated in your county, you're much more likely to be DOA than someone in the city.

Also, didn't the opioid crises primarily occurred in rural areas?

Reading and writing don't necessarily enforce higher conscious engagement than any other medium.

I grew up around the golden age of 'edutainment' produced by publishers such as Dorling Kindersley. They released books with full-colour illustrations, video cassettes, interactive computer software and games on specific topics that all complemented each other. What's particularly special about this is how the same information can be taught effectively to different children, each with their own unique characteristics. The curriculum is consistent even though the leaning style is allowed to vary. So yes, the struggles are important, but there's no reason to miss the opportunity to learn in another way while one overcomes these struggles.

That's the only time I even broke my script and said, "yes, and I've been here for 90 minutes, so where do I pick them up".

It is important to check checksums (and signatures, if there are any) of downloaded packages prior to installing them; especially when resuming interrupted downloads.

Pip has a hash-checking mode, but it only works if the hashes are listed in the requirements.txt file, and they're the hashes for the target platform. Pipfile.lock supports storeing hashes for multiple platforms, but requirements.txt does not.

If the package hashes are retrieved over the same channel as the package, they can be MITM'd too.

You can store PyPi package hashes in sigstore.

There should be a way for package uploaders to sign their package before uploading. (This is what .asc signatures on PyPi were for. But if they are retrieved over the same channel, cryptographic signatures can also be MITM'd).

IMHO (1) twine should prompt to sign the package (with a DID) before uploading the package to PyPi, and (2) after uploading packages, twine should download the package(s) it has uploaded to verify the signature.

It is hard to extend morality between species. The idea of parents sacrificing themselves for their children seems to resonate as highly moral, and is also a common pattern in biology.

But how it plays out, from humans where the male can provide more by continuing to live and "hunt/protect/teach"-- but at the risk that the "hunt/protect" might end his life, to spiders where (some species) the male gives his body to provide nutrition for the child,

Maybe it’s a hint that the tax rate for small and medium companies should be reduced (or other non tax laws modified based on company size), to copy the advantages of this nonprofit to profit conversion, while taxes for large companies should be increased. It would maybe help make competition more fair and make survival easier for startups.
Show HN: I Built a SaaS for Nutritionists to Create AI-Powered Diets in Minutes
Hi everyone! I'm Victor, and I created NutriMeals AI to help a friend who is a nutritionist. He was spending hours creating personalized diet plans for his patients, and I wanted to help him streamline that process. That’s how NutriMeals AI was born, and I thought it could also benefit other nutritionists.

NutriMeals AI lets nutritionists generate customized meal plans in minutes using AI. The system dynamically adjusts macronutrients based on each patient's needs. I used Next.js, Prisma, and integrated AI to make everything smooth and automatic. The AI even reads responses from questionnaires sent to patients to create accurate meal plans.

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement!
I imagine for tax reasons?

Why the h are they called "openAI" too? nothing is open for them but your own wallet.
I don't blame general leadership as much as I do the CDC. They took so long to say 'wear masks, they (may) help' rather than 'we have no (hard) evidence that masks reduce transmission'. Masks were all we had in the beginning besides curbing activities, which was a no-brainer when little was known about the virus.

Hi all, I’m a developer, and I created NutriMeals AI to solve a problem many nutritionists face: spending too much time creating personalized diet plans. The AI handles the heavy lifting and allows real-time adjustments. This started as a personal project for a friend and has evolved into a full SaaS product.

I’d appreciate any feedback from the community!

To whit: OpenAI was until quite recently investigating having TSMC build a dedicated semiconductor fab to produce OpenAI chips [1]:

(Translated from Chinese)
> According to industry insiders, OpenAI originally actively negotiated with TSMC to build a dedicated wafer factory. However, after evaluating the development benefits, it shelved the plan to build a dedicated wafer factory. Strategically, OpenAI sought cooperation with American companies such as Broadcom and Marvell for its own ASIC chips. Development, among which OpenAI is expected to become Broadcom's top four customers.

[1] https://money.udn.com/money/story/5612/8200070 (Chinese)

Even if OpenAI doesn't build its own fab -- a wise move, if you ask me -- the investment required to develop an ASIC on the very latest node is eye watering. Most people - even people in tech - just don't have a good understanding of how
"out there" semiconductor manufacturing has become. It's basically a dark art at this point.

For instance, TSMC themselves [2] don't even know at this point whether the A16 node chosen by OpenAI will require using the forthcoming High NA lithography machines from ASML. The High NA machines cost nearly twice as much as the already exceptional Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) machines do. At close to $400M each, this is simply eye watering.

I'm sure some gurus here on HN have a more up to date idea of the picture around A16, but the fundamental news is this: If OpenAI doesn't think scaling will be needed to get to AGI, then why would they be considering spending many billions on the latest semiconductor tech?

Looking forward to the official disclosure. We'll see if it's really a 9.9.
There are varying degrees to this but I'll focus on the early stage, low effort approaches I've found work.

For an easy, slightly hacky version I've used git-crypt (https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt) with tiny teams. You'll need to share the decryption key (e.g. via 1password shared vaults).

As your need for security grows (but you're still not working with a giant team) you're better off using non-committed .env files locally (with need-to-be-shared dev keys stored in shared vaults in 1password) and prod GCP/AWS secrets managers remotely.

Once you work with a bigger team you'll need to start minting API keys limited in scope to each individual, for them to work with locally. The prod keys will only live in the remote environment, managed by some kind of secret manager offered by the platform and will need to be rotated frequently.

What does that have to do with "copying binaries around"? If it isn't in the base OS image, then install yourself. Or not. And this has nothing to do with POSIX either. Because there is plenty in base OS images that aren't specified by POSIX.

I interact with multiple Unix systems daily too. Some of those systems have ripgrep and some don't. Unless I'm in a particular scenario where I think ripgrep would be useful, I just use grep instead. I don't really see the issue. For a short-lived machine, yeah, I don't bother with syncing dotfiles and all that other nonsense. I just use the bare OS environment and install stuff as needed. But I also have plenty of longer lived Unix machines (like the laptop I'm typing on) where it makes sense to set up a cozy dev environment optimized for my own patterns.

What's being discussed in this thread is not the personal failings of silicon valley darlings, but whether one of them just defrauded a few thousand people and embezzled a significant amount of capital. Citing his character flaws goes along with it though.

Are you seriously arguing that people should be exempt from law for "advancing humanity"?
Because I don't see any advancements whatsoever from all of the people mentioned. Altman and Musk would get a hardon for sure though, from being mentioned together with Jobs.

The Camry, Corolla, Accord and Civic are all selling in roughly the same numbers as they did before the SUV craze. Because they are honest, dependable vehicles. You get exactly what you paid for, and they don't cost a lot of money to keep on the road for a long time. None of them have attractive styling, and only the Civic has any real character to it.

According to the author's own words, Cadillac took a great chassis and saddled it with a truck-based engine, a truck-based transmission, and a bunch of technology that very few people actually use on a regular basis. No amount of beautiful styling (yes, it is an attractive design) will overcome these issues and lack of character, especially at the price they want to charge.

If you want fast, boring, and tons of tech you are going to buy an EV. ICE vehicles have to be some good combination of cost-effective, useful, fun.
I've been thinking about your comment that all criticism is negative and I'm not sure where to go with that in my mind. I think it very much depends on your definitions of "criticism" and "negative". For example, a movie critic could praise a movie, 100% score, no faults. That's still a criticism by many definitions.

But the interesting thing about this is "the eye of the beholder". I suppose to some folks, all criticism does seem to be negative... which is why code reviews can turn into nightmares... and helps explain why I recently received a very angry phone call from another engineer because of some changes that were made to "his code".

For the purposes of this discussion, the oddity seems to be the folks jumping to defend the software they had no part in creating. Why does the criticism result in negative feelings for them? I can understand the author taking issue with it, but someone else's criticism should not impact another's ability to utilize the software for whatever purposes.
This is an honest question, I'm not making a joke.

Probably why AI sludge is so well suited to this particular cultural moment.
I wish I didn't have to be so negative because these are cool, but it's Facebook. Surveillance and ad tech that cause brain rot are what they do for a living. At this point they could just sell versions of these products that aren't subsidized by evil, and they still choose not to do so. This means no matter how much they talk about the future of AI being open, no matter how nice their AR glasses are, I can't do business with them. Everything facebook does is burdened by being facebook and I for one am glad at least one demographic won't let them forget it.
Looks like the article points towards smoking and obesity mostly. Could be worse due to food deserts and lack of health care.
In principle , I am in favor of capital punishment, but the way we do it is a mechanism of injustice. I’m not sure there is a solution.

The problem is the way that the severity of the crime makes juries less reliable.

When there is particularly severe circumstances (like a particularly horrific homocide) the psychological penalty for -not- convicting is much higher, and the desire to feel certain that a perpetrator has been found is much higher than say, a case of property theft.

Combined with the death penalty, these biases add up to a murder machine rather than an instrument of justice.

Estimations based on actual exonerations place the false conviction rate in some states >1%. If 1% are exonerated (which requires extraordinary evidence, often obtained by happenstance in solving other crimes) it’s a pretty safe bet we may be looking at >10% false convictions.

Add to this the fact that even confessions are unreliable, something I have some personal anecdotal experience with.

When I was eleven, school officials accused me of doing something I absolutely did not do. (and in fact there was no evidence that the thing had actually even happened, it was later told to me by the person claiming the event that it was fabricated from whole cloth)

I became so convinced that I did in fact do it that I invented an entire scenario where I had some kind of psychological episode, explaining why I did not directly remember doing the thing, but I was 100 percent sure that I had actually done it.

I am not, and was not , a weak minded person. I did, however, at that time, trust in the idea of authority figures.

It is not hard to to imagine that an adult on the other side of the bell curve that was basically trusting in society might easily fall into the same trap of disbelief->rationalization in an effort to to conform their reality to the “objective truth”.

After this experience,I don’t place much weight in confessions, even less in plea bargains.
