What other large brand has a simpler lineup? Samsung released 22 phones just in 2024 with memorable names like C55 and M05.

Although I wouldn't mind if they got rid of one or two iPhone variants, or at least gave them more meaningful names. I have no idea what the difference between Plus, Pro and Max is. I only know that Pro doesn't mean pro, and that doesn't make it any easier.

Edit: also Steve Jobs was still alive when you could choose between four different iPod variants.
The developer in question makes a living selling Safari extensions, and the Vision Pro app they’re referring to is a version of what’s probably their most well-known. So we’re talking about an established developer with an established user base selling a version of an established app.

Your advice makes sense in general but doesn’t apply to this specific case.

I wasn't talking about whether it was true or false that I know I fathered Alston. I didn't say anything about knowing I fathered Alston at all. I was talking about whether it was true or false that I fathered Alston, which (I hope you'll agree) is not a question of my brain state; it's a question of Alston's genetic constitution, and my brain state is entirely irrelevant.

I think that, without using a definition of "knowing" that fits the description of definitions you are declaring useless, you won't be able to make any sense of either Gettier or TFA. So, however useful or useless you may find it in other contexts, in the context of trying to understand the debate, it's a very useful family of definitions of "knowing"; it's entirely necessary to your success in that endeavor.
I agree about the second thing and you're right - the post was intentionally a bit clickbaity to stir up discussion. That being said, we genuinely believe our domain had an effect on our reach - it's definitely worth considering the domain choice carefully before settling on one.

Thanks for the input - we're a bootstrapped very early stage startup so we do not have the option to go with an expensive .com domain - the .study is the one that made most sense as we are an education platform
Ironically Cloudflare blocks me from accessing the site.

"Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access **.com"

But ye. Cloudflare's grip on access to different hosts have long since turned into a problem. Especially since their visitor abuse filter seem implicitly racist in which parts of the world they throw into endless captcha loops. And, no, I am not trying to be hyperbolic here. It plainly is. You can relive the experience of being from the wrong part of the world by using some privacy preserving browser settings, too.
You're thinking grandiosely. It's pretty simple situation thats different from that one.

No one's trying to lay claim to if this individual product "becomes Dropbox", and you're not saying you can build it in a weekend, which is the comment you're referring to.

I think you may be swapping in a bailey of "oh we're arguing about whether this will be "successful"" because the motte of "what is this for, it can't work!?" was obviously stupid, as you've ceded.
Of course it is, but when has that stopped anyone in tech from attempting a monopoly anyways? The only thing they can sell is their access to resources and scale. Their LLM's are based on the same research papers as everyone else's. They have no innovations there at all.
Author here, and I also teach web dev, including CSS, at the University of Utah (including this semester). Newer parts of CSS, like flex-box layout are both simple and powerful. Just use those! I think it's important to start thinking about learning all of the Web Platform like you'd think about learning all of the Windows APIs or all of the Linux system calls or all of your favorite programming language's features. People rarely do! (I have 15 years of Python experience, and I do not understand metaclasses or async.) There are lots of weird obscure corners, but you don't need to know those to build websites.
Show HN: AI Imagery Meets Real Models for Powerful Campaigns
Blend AI efficiency with human authenticity. Our AI models leverage real professionals who can be hired for in-person campaigns, offering a unique edge over fully automated AI solutions.
I’m working on a problem in this space, and that’s the approach I’m taking.

More detailed explanation: I have to OCR dense, handwritten data using technical codes. Luckily, the form designers included intermediate steps. The intermediate fields are amenable to Textract, so I can use a multimodal model to OCR the full table and then error check.

Good points about hardware capability specs, but I meant to talk about a separate consideration.

I meant provenance as in geopolitical. Later in the comment alludes to this more, and one way it can be a showstopper.

Sorry I was being vague, but it's awkward to mention, and unfortunate that there is ever any potential conflict.
You're trolling and that's not cool
When I lived in Ontario 20 years ago, Ontarians were getting squeezed and complaining then to.

There used to be something like 3 MRI machines across the entire province. The province containing 1/3 of the country's entire population. Wait times for screening procedures could be months. My exe's entire family drove down to New York to get their dental care, paying out of pocket, when it mattered. (UB's College of Dentistry became the 7th best dental school in the nation & 11th in the world largely on the back of this trade)

It's better now, but not better _than what can be bought_ in the United States. Does the US need to improve? Certainly.
The problem, a bit more precisely, is that very small changes in the initial conditions can result in very large changes in result. So even if you have a perfect numerical simulation, if your inputs are even slightly off the simulation might eventually be worthless. Unless you're in one of these islands of stability, maybe, I'm fuzzier on that. (And I don't know a lot about numerical simulation techniques, but I think that sort of situation also makes a "perfect" simulation even harder than usual.)

Compare to two-body interactions, where there is a pretty small family of closed-form solutions to all the possible trajectories. You can just plug in a future time t and (in principle) get a mostly correct answer. In practice nothing is exactly two-body, the bodies aren't point masses, etc, but the small differences have proportionally small effects.
you don't need to worry, once I gave up on mental health, I've never been better. nothing really bothers me anymore.
This is true, but as I learnt [1] recently, adversarial attacks on LLMs can get incredibly sophisticated, so this is kinda apples and oranges ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get your point, but "So far, dark matter/dark energy are in remarkable alignment with observations." is not in accord for "whatever it is that causes... <our observations>". It would be a tautology at that level, equivalent to saying "our observations are in accord with our observations".

I think making sense of the Gettier debate does depend on using a definition of "know" that isn't just a question of what state the "knower's" brain is in. Gettier's point is not that truth isn't necessary; it's that, generally when people say "know", they are referring not only to brain states and truth, but also something else, specifically, some kind of causal connection between the two. I don't think you can construct a definition of "know" by which Gettier cases aren't "knowing" to which truth is irrelevant.
No, his quality of life and mental state is severely impacted for years if not decades at a time and he slowly, and very painfully, dies.

They are working on getting all the market share they get at all costs - it's not that different from Amazon and Google from 20 years ago. Will see how it will work out for them: 20 years ago there were a lot of losers and a very few big winners. Most likely history will repeat itself again, with or without OpenAI.

But now even regulators are working for them - the more regulations are there, the harder it will be for late comers to join.
Notably it also runs the reactors much harder, which has led to situations like France needing to shut all nuclear plants at once for maintenance.
Those are some interesting open questions about physics, but the happenstance limitations of modern computer hardware have no bearing on them.
Having been through more "classic" VC a couple of times and now PE as well I agree. PE is so much more nefarious and damaging. When you take 100+ M of VC gasoline and pour it on the fire everyone can see what's happening. PE funds want juicy annual returns of free cash and a multiplier sell out; it puts revenue pressure and forces cost control that destroys successful businesses in one funding cycle that might have been doing just find for decades. And nobody but the C-suite and investors gets rich.

AMD downplays risk of growing blast radius, licensing fees from manycore chips
But the argument I was replying to was saying that the main advantage of short expiration times is that it encourages companies to automate the process, which reduces the chance that the certificate is accidentally allowed to expire. This is not a security issue for anyone, least of all people using browsers.

Plus, this concept that short expiration times increase security is suspect at best. If the private key leaked, 45 days is far too long, you'd need to reduce this to hours to actually help as a revocation strategy. And even then, chances are that the new key will leak as well right away, as it's most likely that the key was stolen by some undetected malware. And if the key didn't leak, a two year old cert is just as secure as a two minute old one.
Interesting, I just checked on the most popular used car listing site for my region to check if things changed since the last time I was interested - at least in my region, electric cars deprecate massively more here even now.

You get a price drop of 60-70% within 40-60k km for electric vehicles, the ICEs usually only drop by ~50% by 80-100k km. That's less deprecation despite higher usage.

And these electric cars are mostly ~4 years old while the ICEs are 6+ years old.

At least in my region, ICEs resell way, way better

/Edit: the Mazda 2 costs 21k€ new, the byd dolphin 30k.

If you're buying a 4years old Mazda for 1/2 of the price of a new byd dolphin, you're actually paying 70% of the list price of the Mazda.
That's kinda proving how high ICEs are reselling vs the electric vehicles. The equivalent electric vehicle would've deprecated more
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm the co-founder alongside the OP.

We've performed some initial testing and captured the users feedback on both domains. After we switched the domain, without any other feature changes we've observed the website analytics and these are the reported numbers.

Even other popular options like .co, .net, .ai and so on are over tens of thousands of US dollars, so we had two options, either to change the name or to go with the .study TLD.
I've always assumed the Vision Pro was an experimental platform that is available publicly solely to enable developers to figure out what the heck can be done with a high-quality MR device.
The fuel is burned at the same rate using this method of modulating output. Thermal output from the reactor is the same. Electrical output is reduced because heat is deliberately wasted.
Not my area of expertise, but if theoretical turing-completeness requires potentially infinite storage, doesn't the possibility of file or network access neuter any argument that a finite address space renders C non-turing-complete?
> It is consequently a real personal tragedy for this guy that he has foolishly flushed his career and reputation at age 22. What a waste.

On the other hand, isn't 22 a couple years past the point were rapid improvement ends and you are on a long slow rise until peaking around your late 30s?

I could see someone looking at where they are at 22, realizing that it will another 15 years so to reach a point where they can make a good living from full time playing chess and that it is quite possible their peak will not be high enough for that, and so start planning to switch to a career outside of chess.

In that case maybe they decide to cheat to try to squeeze what they can out of chess before moving on.

The problem is, this is average. You _have_ to plan the grid for the worst case scenario. For Germany, the worst case is 1 month of straight Dunkelflaute. It's estimated to happen once in 100 years.

> Like today we will need peaking capacity in the future, likely either based on hydrogen, synfuels or biofuels.

It's not peaking capacity. It has to be more than 100% of the current capacity (once Germany switches to electricity instead of gas for heating). And it'll be mostly sitting idle.

> What we don't need is nuclear power plants which sit idle at all times unless there is a winter dunkeflaute across half of Europe.

I am not sure what US law on the matter is, but many countries have what are known as "bonded warehouses", which store uncleared goods within the destination country. Are you a customs expert? If so, please comment on whether the US has an equivalent.
I'm not sure what else you want beyond my answer, maybe proof that these big tech companies have indeed been hiring bright engineers, but maybe you or someone else can find it on the Internet. I'm gonna go ahead and agree with Dig1t on this.

Show HN: AI autopilot for launching email campaigns
Hey, everyone!

My previous generator for onboarding email sequences was used by many people.

So I decided to go a step further and developed an autopilot that not only generates emails, but also sends them to your recipients.
Ah, gotcha! Hahah, yeah, I'm sure this is exactly the use case folks were thinking of when dreaming of AI applications decades ago...
An Alternative to OpenAI Realtime API for Voice Capabilities
I didn’t have a clue. That wasn’t part of my skillset. All we needed was a headless browser that was automated. It was crawling a few million pages a day. I had a debug console where I could see cached pages, headers, cookies, etc.
A window of opportunity of 45 days is not significantly different from one of 90 or 365 days. If it's the only protection you have from a leaked private key, then a while lot of people are gonna get MITMed.

Ask HN: Colocate or Buy VPS/VDS?
I'm looking at purchasing a server with 512gb of ram and then colocating it but dont have any experience but the appeal is buying a lump sump initially to acquire the hardware specs I want and then colocating it at a fixed cost $50~100/month

If I were to buy the same spec it would cost $200~300/month forever

Does it make sense to buy my own server and colocate? What are the 1U rack fees now in 2024?

Are there any tips or gotchas for beginners like me?

When I shopped around for VPS/VDS I found that they were all sharing something between different clients whether its i/o or cores, which gave me an icky feeling as I need strong consistent throughput from cores for video stream mixing (im launching something similar to Twitch)
last time I shopped for a new dentist he looked at me like a shark sizing up his next meal. "How much can I take him for?" was painted clearly on his face - maybe that's why they keep the masks on?
Same. I used to run my own email servers and do all the per domain things. It was just way too exhausting. Switched to Gmail and haven't looked back. Don't even worry about email at all now. I just wish I had jumped on Gmail earlier to have a better username.
What’s interesting is how much it contrasts with TechCrunch’s story: ‘Most of Command AI’s 30-person, San Francisco-based team will be joining Amplitude. Command AI’s co-founder and CEO James Evans wouldn’t reveal the terms of the deal, but said candidly that an acquisition wasn’t something he’d been planning on.
“Our growth was great and we had plenty of runway,” Evans told TechCrunch. “We weren’t out shopping ourselves or anything. But when Amplitude reached out a little while ago — this summer — we got really excited about the combination and became convinced that we could grow faster and reach more users together.”’
I've tried the alternatives and even running my own models locally. There is just no other solution I could find that comes close to the general utility of ChatGPT for a broad range of use-cases. I hope someone disrupts them, but until then, ChatGPT is to LLMs what Gmail is to email for me. I love to hate them.
Specially relevant to all those folks that insist on "Coding C with a C++ compiler", instead of safer language constructs, and standard library alternatives provided by C++ during the last decades.
Practicality of reproducing training runs that cost tens of millions aside, it's hopeless. Determinism is hard enough with a single GPU, fixing a seed isn't going to be much help when training is distributed across hundreds of GPUs.
Honesty, that’s trivial to parse, even if you don’t want to use or don’t have regex available: In C, e.g., just treat the name as a string and walk backwards from the last character until you find a non-digit; adjust for indexing, and you now know where the protocol ends and port begins.
