Viruses are just sequences of RNA/DNA and we are already showing that transformers have extreme proficiency in sequence modeling.

In 10 years we have gone from AlexNet to GPT2 to GPT o1. If future capabilities make it so any semi-state actor with a lab can build a deadly virus (and this is only one of MANY possible and easily plausible scenarios) then we have already likely equaled potential destruction of the atomic age. And that’s just the stuff I can anticipate.

How are you measuring the confidence of the answers? This is one of the biggest challenges I've seen with AI, it provides wrong answers to hard questions, which wastes the user's time.
One of the first things I read on the site was about the "church tax"[0]. Very interesting.

Show HN: PurePlates – A Recipe Scraping iOS App
Hey Everyone!

This is my first post on Hacker News, and I wanted to share my project with you! From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a chef, but life took me down the path of software engineering instead. Nevertheless, my passion for creating delicious meals has always remained close to my heart. This journey led me to seek out recipes to enhance my cooking skills, but I often found myself frustrated by the websites I encountered—ads everywhere, walls of text, and recipes that were difficult to follow.

That’s where PurePlates comes in. PurePlates allows users to share a recipe through their mobile browser or simply copy and paste the URL directly into the app. In an instant, you receive a scraped recipe that includes instructions, ingredients, and any available nutrition information. You can easily start cooking and follow along step by step, making the process much more enjoyable. Plus, if you find a recipe you love, you can add it to your favorites for quick access later!

As this is just an MVP, there’s still plenty of room for improvement, and I’m actively working on enhancing the extraction rate for recipes.

Thanks for reading, and keep hacking!

Unless I am looking for something very specific from a specific country, I found I have to avoid online recipes now.

I rarely have good results and it feels like they were done once and then "we make this recipe all the time" or some crap like that.

I even went on a buying spree for cookbooks and it seems like much of what comes out today is just crap. Either the recipes are clearly untested or they are some gimmick like "5 recipe meals" that for some reason just decides that 1 or 2 ingredients are not counted towards that 5.

Honesly the best purchase I have made in a long time was finally just getting Julia Child's books. They may not be flashy with a ton of pictures, and you can for sure get a bit of information overload going through them.

But every time I have made something from that book it either came out perfect or I made a clear mistake like burning something or something like that, that a cookbook won't fix.
And just like real debt, some tech debt has higher compounding effects than others. (Consider this fix cost and impact in the author's framework.)

Since RT sacrifices throughput for latency you would likely se a drop in FPS, which inturn would also reduce the input processing frequency. sched_ext is much more interesting in that regard as IIRC lavd[1] is for example designed to (ab)use the frequent repetitive access/processing patterns of game engines

It seems to be missing the most common type of debt I've seen:

Founder's debt.

This was debt that was created by the founders to get the fast, good value tech out the door. Low hanging fruit that ends up being the foundation of the whole shebang.

The founding documents of many countries fall into this category lol (but not USA! USA! USA!)

Macgyver debt and foundational debt come closest, but neither quite outline this phenomenon.
Even without this pattern, I find it's already more often I have to ping authors about new files they forgot to commit than junk files bing committed... It's also much easier and quicker to spot something not belonging as opposed to something missing.

Not against the reverse ignore per se and you do you, just saying I'm not sure it will actually bring relief in the end now that you have to educate all the clueless authors on !-patterns in .gitignore whenever they repaint the lines instead (:

Oh you don’t have to be sorry, I genuinely liked your solution. I haven’t tried lua, looks much simpler than what I got with Automator for example!

"While you're required to provide the source code to those who pay you to use the software, you don't have to provide it to those who haven't paid."

The issue is that you give away your source code to your clients and competitors, who can then save money by not paying you.

If you don't give them source code, whether by distributing binaries or access to a server which holds the code, you can recoup the investment by ensuring clients only get the benefit of your software when they pay.

It's a similar dilemma in the pharma industry, yes you can free the patents and publish the synthesis method, but who is gonna pay the researchers?

Finally Chrome is more of a byproduct of google's efforts to scrape the internet, turns out that in order to figure out what a website is showing a user you need to pretty much develop a full fledged browser. The goal of google was never to develop a browser.

I live in Idaho currently, but have lived in many different regions in the US at various points in the past (though, not California). It does seem particularly strong in California and increasingly in western Oregon, western Washington, southern Nevada, and northern Utah (which, probably not coincidentally, have been top destinations for people moving out of California over the last 10 to 20 years).

Out of curoisity, how long ago did you move to California from the UK? And is the "like" commonly used in the UK?
They currently lists Fox News as (US) "Right" as far as I can tell: https://ground.news/interest/fox-news_a44aba

>Here's my opinion: English is the result of a simplification of grammar caused by Old Norse and Old English crashing into each other with the same words but different grammar; then the French forced French usage in commerce, so most people started using a ton of French words with this English grammar. That last part sounds exactly like a creole.

Grandparent's point is that you're stretching the meaning of the term to a level of generality that applies to everything, therefore meaning nothing in particular.

Your point applies to French just as much as English: Gaulic Celtic speakers poorly adopt Latin after getting bull rushed by Romans, then mix in Frankish terms when the Romans' former allies take over; or how about Sicilian: a mash-up of Latin, Greek, Germanic, Arabic conquerors.

You have to go pretty far to find a language which isn't a fusion of other languages that results from different peoples entering into extended contact.

'Creole' is a word that only appears with its current meaning and history in the last 100 or so years, grandparent is simply preserving that particularity. Nothing more.

No one in 1200s Europe thought English or Sicilian were languages not worth engaging with as actual languages owing to modern racial connotations.
>I feel sure Ontario does not have nuclear weapons ambitions.

Canada actually used to be a nuclear power until 1984. Since then it has signed up to the NPT and disavowing weapons but maintaining a nuclear industry that would let it spin up a nuclear weapons program in a hurry should it deem it necessary (i.e. if the American nuclear umbrella faltered).

There are several countries around the world that follow a similar policy - Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Iran. There's value to belonging to the NPT but there's also value to being able to get a nuke in months if an existential crisis presented itself (as it has for Iran).

>Do you have any examples of this at commercial scale (hundreds of MW) and their costings?

Thanks for the kind comment!

Yeah, browser APIs have become a lot better. Between bugs, different behaviour from one browser to another & unusual limitations, there's still a bunch of ways that they're not "all the way there" yet, but I expect that it will continue to improve.

Unfortunately the biggest limitation right now is that only desktop browsers are capable of this. Browser vendors seem to have held back the APIs from mobile versions of each browser. I think they're just being cautious about rolling out something that could be bad for users, though. Hopefully mobile browsers will catch up once the vendors are confident that users can be adequately informed about what's happening on their device.

tl;dr we define a JSON schema with a few semantic labels that represent a gradient in confidence. On our end we prompt it with certain examples and guidance for when to use each label. This is generally a better approach than e.g. asking an LLM to give a numeric score.

We also have trained embedding-based classifiers as non-LLM heuristics.

"Also what do you have to say to the open-source projects that take a "dual licensing" approach, like how Google profits from creating their own proprietary browser Chrome that has more features than the open-source Chromium?"

Critically, Google doesn't sell or charge for Chrome access.

Their monetization model is making software free (as in beer) in exchange for advertising. Again, that funky word free.

Regarding imitating that model, you and me are not google, and will more likely fail than not if we were to pursue that model.

what do you think will happen faster? some "social" agreement that technology CANNOT be used to its full extent (ie. I can't use my tech to its fullest extend, like augmenting my own personal recording keeping) or just society to learn how to behave in this new environment - where anyone anywhere can be recording?

Remember when cameras started appearing on phones and supposedly phones had to make noises when photos were taken, or when special phone models were made WITHOUT cameras? what happened to those conservative restrictions?

Obviously, some personal responsibility on how this personally recorded data is handled, stored and shared must be upheld but I'm skeptical of attempts at banning these new capabilities - specially, as you say, organizations have long been able to do this, just not individuals (not easily at least)
Damn, yeah, we added the ability for the AI to set filters based on the input over the weekend and it has definitely slowed things down. We've got a rust script thats going out today to speed things up and add more functionality (like giving you the count of parts that each value in a filter is associated with), that should speed things up pretty dramatically....

Thanks for the try though, we'll definitely be improving this dramatically over the next few weeks!
Yes, and those are really cool and I want some.

We might be able to somehow collect heat (with superconductors? I don't know) and beam it into space, but that still doesn't solve the problem.

Please watch the Bartlett lecture, please?
The NIST site has a few, but basically it's useful any time you need to randomly select things and prove your selection is really random. The idea is you commit to using a specific future beacon value in a particular way to do your random selection, so you can't game either your random value or the process to get the selection results you want.

One example the paper gives is auditing an election by looking at a random sample of polling sites. Before the election, the government commits to using a specified algorithm to select polling sites to audit, with the random input coming from the first beacon value on the day after the election. This verifies prior to the election that the auditing will be random without revealing what polling sites will be audited (in fact there is no way for anyone to know that prior to the beacon value being published). The government can also use multiple independent beacons. Assuming not all the parties are colluding, this does a pretty good job demonstrating the auditing is random.
>maybe WIFI waves too

Certified nutcase comment lmao, WIFI waves do not do anything are you gonna buy some shugnite rocks too like the two timer, also smoke smell, move then or move out of city. Im mentally ill too but its mild autism, adhd (takes me all day to watch a 2h movie I pause adn pause and pauise and pause and pause and pause) and depression (I recently cleaned my fridge from 4 year old rotting food) but astleast I sleep inside.
I was wondering the same. Also curious about those battery stats:

> Battery currently at 80% (a decrease of 6% in the last 4 hours).

That's gotta be an OLED screen at lowest brightness or, even more likely, a fully black overlay app since the mic is constantly active and either locally processing it into Shazam and streaming fingerprints or (less cpu, more network) streaming it to a server which then does the processing and queries Shazam. As a comparison, my work phone is off+idle basically the whole time and takes twice as long to charge at a higher wattage as my personal phone (i.e.: large battery by my standards), and that uses nearly a percent per hour while the screen is off with maybe 20 messages and one email coming in across 4 hours.

I'm amazed by the idea, that no rate limit has kicked in on Shazam, that they didn't connect it to a power source, and that the battery is lasting so long!

Edit: missed that it is being powered by a solar panel
Well, I've never pretended I don't also join these discussions to learn. Thanks for helping that happen!

Bad enough to have been made to learn a lot of things most people never get close to knowing. Explaining some of that knowledge so those people don't need to go through it to get the benefit isn't actually harder, but it can feel that way. It isn't really a case of not being fairly met in the middle, but it can feel that way easily too.

One other note: I've intentionally not used the language of privilege, and I did not call you stupid. If you're anything I'm not in this connection, it's fortunate, and that's not blameworthy nor something I would ever hope to see change.

Indeed the entire point of trying to talk about it at all lies in the hope of making it possible to understand some things about what going through hell can do to a person, without needing to find out firsthand.

Prose seems like an easier medium than the less overt and direct forms of art where such matters are more often openly discussed. I begin to imagine I haven't simplified the task as much as I thought, though, by this assumption.

On that basis I can also recommend Strange New Worlds s2e9 "Under the Cloak of War," which is the most nuanced and honest discussion of the experience of past trauma I think I've ever seen on TV. That it looks up front like a war story is a metaphor that pays off in the last act with a pane of frosted glass. Read it knowing that, and maybe I don't need to say anything else at all.

Haha, that's one of my long-term ~plans~ dreams. :)

NASA and the rest of the space industry have done a fantastic job with the Bundle Protocol (BP) and other related tech[1], but I think they will need something like Awala running on top of BP as we start to send humans further and further into space.

With Awala running on top of the Interplanetary Internet, astronauts could use regular Awala apps, with no need to built custom integrations with things like social networks (once those too are supported on Awala).

I did a 24-hour running race a couple of months ago. Didn't hit my goal, but still came back with 50 miles under my belt.

To me, the bliss is the moment I forget I've been running for five minutes, or 15, or an hour. I can't meditate. Sitting still and breathing, it's never worked for me. I collapse in on myself. But when out running, or even just walking if it's a longer distance, I hit a point where I disconnect. My body is doing... something, and meanwhile I'm off diving deep into ideas or worlds or scenarios or who-knows-what-else.
That's not what I'm suggesting. I mean this as an automated process.
Yeah actually the same thing happened with the Macron email leak - not a shred of evidence has been produced that any of the emails are forgeries. It is just a common disinformation technique to say “there are fake emails among these” and then refuse to clarify.

I don't think the main issue here is that a YC company acted with questionable ethics. As you say, people are people and that can happen with even the strictest due diligence.

The problem for YC's prestige stems from funding a company with an unoriginal idea and not even the beginnings of a prototype. I'm aware that YC funds founders more than it funds specific ideas or projects. Nonetheless, you'd expect an impressive group of founders to do more than just fork an existing open source project.

In short, cases like this show that YC is getting (non-illegally) scammed by some of its applicants. That makes YC look foolish.
'umms' and 'errs' are so good.
Like so. Using the Schrodinger formulation it is invalid to talk about two particles having separate wavefunctions like ψ(x₁) and ψ(x₂) but rather you have a single wavefunction written ψ(x₁,x₂) and in the case of Fermions you have ψ(x₁,x₂) = -ψ(x₂,x₁) and for Bosons you have ψ(x₁,x₂) = ψ(x₂,x₁).

People get confused about EPR because they think the world is ψ(x₁) and ψ(x₂) when it is really ψ(x₁,x₂).
