I love this. Short, to the point, and insightful. I’m one of those ‘big picture’ type of thinkers. It’s really important to me to just not know the how behind something, but also the why and how it relates to the larger context. I encourage our developers to make liberal use of the Description field in Jira stories and tasks and provide an overview of why we are doing something and how it relates to the bigger picture. Some of them don’t like it I guess, but some are really digging it. I’m happy to provide the big picture behind the project and they are happy with added independence understanding the big picture gives them.

One of the first computer fair I went when I was about 12 I saw a guy demonstrating a software called Sued (Deus (God) backwards). The guy would ask the computer questions about the person he was showing the software to; questions like: what is the color of the hair on the girl next to me? And the computer would answer. Amazing! Later on I figured that while you type the answer the computer would show the beginning of a generic question, character by character. Even more amazing!
Show HN: I built a tool that helps you with your productivity using AI
Hey HN.
A few months ago, I noticed that I had trouble with choosing the productive thing, over the pleasurable short thing.

So I built Daily Spiral, a simple tool that lets you log your completed activities (both positive and negative) and then scores your productivity on a scale from -10 to 10, based on the impact of each task.

I noticed that by forcing myself to type the unproductive activities and get rewarded for the positive ones, I felt really well and motivated.

It uses the Openai API with chatGPT to judge your tasks and reward you with points.

It depends on your device. If your device doesn't support the Nebula app, you need the Beam.
Hey, I’m Borys, and I’ve been learning how to build SaaS products for the last 6 months. Today, I’m excited to launch my first product - Daily Spiral.

At first, I never planned to release this simple product, but after putting a lot of time and effort into it, I think that it can help a lot of people and I can gain some experience.

I'm a 17 yo coder and I always loved creating. I bounced from making video games, automatizations, and simple websites, to creating SaaS products. I'm hoping to code mobile apps and more in the future.

Thanks for your support!

What the US is doing to Cuba is nothing sort of criminal. It's been 60 years since the bay of Pigs and Cuban Crisis, it's time to end the embargo.

One thing that I was hopeful in the Biden v. Trump 2024 was that whoever won wouldn't have felt the need to win Florida anymore in their lifetime and so they could have gone for the legacy of ending the embargo on Cuba during their Presidency.

Instead now with Harris of course she's gonna need Florida twice
I don't think I visualize anything when programming. It's more like I'm assembling a factory, conveyor belts, cogs, switches and stuff. I just know where everything is.

I'm still not sure if I have aphantasia or not. I can't "see" things/scene/items in my minds eye. What does it mean to "see" thing in your mind? I'd say for me it's much more like imagining smells, texture and taste.

How strong is this "seeing" part. Can people actually close their eyes and all but SEE whatever item/scenery they want?!

Why would we assume that the health of a country is mainly determined by its healthcare system?

I think the big drivers of worse American health outcomes are things like obesity, car-based lifestyles, and long working hours, all of which have nothing to do with our healthcare system.

The healthiest countries succeed by rarely needing their healthcare system because people behave in healthy ways. Needing the system a lot means you've already failed.

There are situations where packet loss can be an issue.

In the configurations I have implemented, LAN packet loss is rare. Operations are idempotent and thus can be repeated.

Everybody has their preferences. Personally, I avoid having too many layers and too many intervening abstractions. In my designs, keeping it lean maximizes throughput and simplicity means that I can debug it without tearing out too many hairs. In many projects that I have worked on we spent more time debugging third party modules than the stuff that we designed and implemented.

hetzner cpx11 in Ashburn - 150 ms latencies to Europe are totally fine for this use case. with 15k groups and 162k expenses (guesstimating 30k users, email logs per-expense, etc.) , you're not even pushing 2 gigabytes of disk space (conservatively), nor are you doing anything computationally expensive or stressful for the DB under normal load. With decent app & db design, like proper indexing, 2 vCPUs and 2gb RAM is more than enough.

IPv6 is the answer, yet no one is implementing it on scale. Damn.
Pretty simple really. Port numbers are effectively topic identifiers. The packet payload contains the data. Both producers and consumers run on a fire and forget basis. i.e. avoid any RPC patterns.

Obviously, my designs are for systems that work well with those principles. It is by far not a generalized architecture. I still use MQTT, TCP, WebSockets, IPC, UDS etc where they provide essential and critical capabilities.

My philosophy is simple. Use the simplest, easiest tool that gets the job done without needless complexity or difficulties. If you are having too many problems, then revise the design.
Two hose is better but not perfect. The problem is the compressor body is still inside and shedding some of it's heat inside the cooling area. If your need is temporary, the inefficiency is acceptable - otherwise go with a mini split.

Thanks for reading! We'll definitely include our Sonnet results in the next revision. It's worth pointing out that we're comparing accuracy on text responses and not log probability based scoring, which I think is the number you're referring to (based on Section E of this paper https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/de8ba9b01c9ab7cbabf5c33b80b7bb...). But if I'm mistaken and you have a direct pointer, that'd be super helpful! In general, we've been basing our comparisons against the models in the Open Medical LLM leaderboard here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/openlifescienceai/open_medical...

Also definitely a good idea on the ablation study. We had some results internally based on a production-tuned version of our model that includes a much higher weighting of records-data. It's an imperfect ablation, but it supports the story -- so I think it's there, but you're right that it would be more complete to develop and include the data directly.

You're quite right, actually "privatization" would be a wrong term here, but I feel like my point still stands.

I am completely supportive of the release of the cultural heritage digitisations into the public domain, and I think mandating a release under the non-commercial license would be a good solution. Equally, I think it should be possible to license these for commercial use, at a reasonable price.

What I was trying to say with my "privatization" bit, is that the author did not intend to buy the scans from the museum, but definitely intends to monetize them, and sell the derived work, without commitment to put that work into the public domain. For me this very obvious profit motive seems incompatible with the image of the defender of the public rights that the author tries to cultivate.

And once again, I think we have to take into account that forcing the public institutions to give away their 3D scans, without cutting them in at least a little bit, will simply put a stop to the scanning campaigns.

I visualize way more things when daydreaming about machine learning theory than I do code. Possibly the main time I visualize code has to do with data structures. What I do notice, though, is that once I’ve iterated for too long on spaghetti code and it’s way past the point of comfortable familiarity, it does feel more explicitly like a “/not/ being able to see through the fog any more” feeling.
I don't think lifestyle explains our problem with infant mortality rates. That's something where you, first thing in life, depend on the health care system before you even have a lifestyle.

In addition, yes, I think we can blame obesity on (the lack of) healthcare. If people routinely met with a physician and got advice, they might be able to turn things around before merely being overweight becomes obesity.

We're effectively in a shortage situation, and by design. If you don't get preventative care, that's considered a good thing by the healthcare system because they would honestly collapse if everyone got the recommended doctor visits. So we have people not getting preventative treatment and dying of preventable causes at depressingly high rates. This is generally considered fine, because the health care system is bursting at the seams with more money than it can count, so it's considered successful.
You insist that we should all agree on something but you don't specify what.
Sure. You're wrong: a good hypothesis is trivial to come by. It's hard to prove one. You're confusing the latter step for the former, in the sense that you're defining "good" as "likely to be proven". And there's the rub.

Literally nobody in science needs a computer model to generate a question for them. Everybody wants the computer to do the part where it tells them the hypothesis that is most worth investing their effort in figuring out, but it cannot actually do that.

Or at least, nothing about this paper suggests otherwise. You have no idea how many computer-generated ideas they churned through before this one. If I ask AlphaFold to fold/dock me a protein, it will happily do so, and return me a structure. Is it right enough that I should run off and spend the next N years of my life validating it? Mu.

Wanted to thank you again. I am currently working on an improved version providing more context. Your sentence "Part of the deep satisfaction in solving ..." made it into the prompt's rule-set. At this very moment I am only using the dataset of r/dota2 to make the testing easier and I look at the very first result with the new prompt:

Generated words and clues:

heroes: Characters with unique abilities in Dota 2, tasked with defeating the enemy's Ancient.

ragers: Players who overly react to in-game frustrations, often ruining the fun for everyone.

rage: A common emotion experienced by players sometimes leading to poor decision-making.

tachyons: Hypothetical particles that travel faster than light, having no place in an Ancient's mechanics.

healing: Essential support function often provided by certain heroes like Treant Protector.

burn: Refers to a mechanism used to deplete an opponent's mana, crucial in trilane strategies.

matters: In Dota 2, every decision, including hero picks, can significantly change the outcome.

fault: What a player will often blame when losing, rather than acknowledging their own mistakes.

support: Role in Dota 2 focused on helping the team, often with abilities to aid and sustain.

team: Group of players working together to win, where synergy and composition are key to victory.

Note that the Words themselves were not picked by OpenAI but rather a per-selection from the BERT Embeddings ML Algorithm but this time with more than just a word as context.

This is definitely going in the right direction. It's only sample size of 1 but i had to share it with you!

I'm not sure the infant mortality has much of an impact on longevity, and while there may be things the US could do about obesity within the healthcare system, I doubt that the reason for the US-world gap is that the rest of the world does these things and the US doesn't.

You can name things that are bad about US healthcare and could be improved but that's a different topic than why Americans are in relatively poor health compared to other developed countries.

I bet using bamboo for power generation might be more clean that coal, especially if we turn the bamboo into coke first.

Granted I doubt you could "farm" bamboo like trees or other plant. Given how fast section species of bamboo can grow, which is a big benefit in this hypothetical, you would probably need a ton of water and no matter how nutrient rich the soil is you'd probably deplete the soil after a few harvests.

Shame considering how fast growing and dense bamboo is.

You can plug them directly into your laptop (as long as it supports DP Alt mode, which I understand is common - my Thinkpad does). But, the virtual monitor will be in a fixed position relative to your head. Which is really not comfortable. In order to get the virtual screen to stay fixed in space while you move your head, you need the Beam.

I use the Xreal Air 1 with the Beam on my Thinkpad X1 and it's great. I really recommend it for flights. I don't understand why it hasn't gotten more popular. I can use my laptop comfortably for many hours, which makes long flights a lot more tolerable.

I only use them for laptop productivity. Not sure about VR stuff.

>the ONLY thing these LLMs know how to do is predict the probability that their next word

This is super incorrect. The base model is trained to predict the distribution of next words (which obviously necessitates a ton of understanding about the language)

Then there's the RLHF step, which teaches the model about what humans want to see

But o1 (which is one of these LLMs) is trained entirely differently to do reinforcement learning on problem solving (we think), so it's a pretty different paradigm. I could see o1 planning very well

I used to live in France. We had no A/C, enough climate consciousness not install it, though our east-facing windows were bringing important heat at sunrise.

We saved a few degrees in this way.

> [highly trained musicians in orchestras spend all their time playing pieces they didn't write]

That's an interesting point, but if you got into programming via working on your own projects, the musical analogy is "I loved play jazz saxophone with my cool cats, but every paid gig I get just wants me to play note-for-note Duke Ellington transcriptions." The essence of jazz is improv, but playing classical music is more about playing/experiencing beautiful music which I am probably lack the capacity to write myself. (Not saying classical is better than jazz or vice-versa, you just go into them for very different reasons.)

But the analogy is kind of interesting, since there might be jobs for which the outcome (e.g. beautiful music) is so compelling that I will happily take their directions. I got in software to do jazz, and would be willing to do pre-scripted beauty, but unfortunately, most software jobs are not either of those.
