Basically a lower-than-expected response to reward anticipation and a higher-than-expected response upon reward delivery.

“Sane scraper” doesn’t have a definition or anyone to enforce it. Similarly, APIs aren’t magic - if you make things publicly available, people will harvest it whether that’s with a 90s-style bot making individual requests or a headless browser which runs the JavaScript you use to make API calls.

The other thing to think about is the lack of enforcement: you can’t complain to the bot police when some dude in China decides to harvest your data, and if you try blocking by user-agent or IP you’ll play whack-a-mole trying to stay ahead of the bot operators who will spoof the former and churn the latter. After developing an appreciation for why security people talk about validating correctness rather than trying to enumerate badness, you’ll end up with a combination of rate-limiting and broader blocking for the same reasons. Yes, it’s no fun but the problem isn’t the sites but the people abusing the free services we’ve been given.

GuitarSkillz: Interactive Fretboard Trainer for Guitar Players of All Levels
I've built GuitarSkillz (https://guitarskillz.com), an online tool to help guitar players improve their skills through interactive fretboard visualization and practice.
Key features:

Position Trainer: Learn accurate finger placement and develop muscle memory
Chord Scheme Training: Input custom chord progressions and see them on a digital fretboard
Adjustable parameters: BPM, interval, fretboard length
Left-handed option available

It's designed for both beginners and advanced players looking to enhance their fretboard mastery. I'd appreciate any feedback from the HN community, especially from fellow musicians or those interested in music education tech.
Would you like me to elaborate on any part of this submission or suggest alternative approaches?
Consider Hoop (https://hoop.dev) as an open source alternative. It's designed to be lightweight and developer-friendly.

Key features that are free/open source:
1. SSH, K8s, database access
2. RBAC and just-in-time access
3. Session recording
4. IdP integration

We monetize on advanced layer 7 features like AI data masking and firewall rules. But the core access management stuff stays free. Repo is public if you want to check it out:https://github.com/hoophq/hoop

Good luck finding a solution that fits your needs.

> Changing the probability by even 0.01 percent can vastly shift the results.

No, not generally. Since it's a quadratic function we're optimising, it's surprisingly flat at the top. Sure, there are some bets where the edge is tiny and 0.01 percent is a large proportion of that, but that doesn't invalidate the Kelly criterion – by what other criterion would you determine the appropriate bet size?

> is more a rule of thumb that says roughly if you have x $ and probability p, in a perfect world you should only bet y amount.

It applies far more broadly than to binary bets. It tells you how to allocate your spending optimally across any number of opportunities, based on joint probability of outcomes.

Both of your misconceptions are common, and they are addressed in the article linked in the submission: https://entropicthoughts.com/the-misunderstood-kelly-criteri...
It took me 40 years to realize that this is a really bad idea. Each project or hobby takes time. Each new skill takes a lot of time and focus to master.

Half-finished projects clutter your space and your mind. The biggest satisfaction is what I get from a project that is done-done. Not finishing anything will rob the satisfaction of a project.

Doing some Marie Kondo (deciding which things bring joy and getting rid of the rest) for your hobbies has been immensely liberating. Saying no to myself and not starting something new leaves space in my mind to enjoy other things much more.

So I would say, be picky about which hobby to take on and once you do it, be ready to invest some serious time into it. The joy you get out of a nice coffee table you built yourself from scratch is immeasurably greater than some tools, lumber and dust blocking your garage for years.

They ignore request cache control headers, I believe unconditionally so you’d have to disable caching for the endpoints which clients are allowed to request uncached.
C++ 26 will (almost certainly, it's in the draft) add Erroneous Behaviour.

EB is well defined but definitely wrong, so it's a way for the standard to say:

Do not allow this to happen, but if you do, the consequence is definitely that.

The specific EB in the C++ 26 draft is the value of default uninitialized primitives. So e.g. int k; std::cout << k << "\n";

In C++ 23 and previous versions that's Undefined Behaviour, maybe it prints the lyrics to the National Anthem of the country where the compiler ran? Maybe it deletes all your files. But in C++ 26 the Erroneous Behaviour is that there's some integer value k, which your compiler vendor knew (and might tell you or even let you change it) and it prints that value, but you're naughty because this is definitively an error when it happens.

It’s not clear this is true because reported numbers don’t disaggregate paid subscription revenue (certainly massively GP positive) vs free usage (certainly negative) vs API revenue (probably GP negative).

Most of their revenue is the subscription stuff, which makes it highly likely they lose money per token on the api (not surprising as they are are in price war with Google et al)

If you have an enterprise ChatGPT sub you have to consume around 5mln tokens a month to match the cost of using the api on GPT4o. At 100 words per minute that’s 35 days on continuous typing which shows how ridiculous the costs of api vs subscription are.

> Cost tends to go down with time as compute becomes cheaper.

This is generally true but seems to be, if anything, inverted for AI. These models cost billions to train in compute, and OpenAI thus far has needed to put out a brand new one roughly annually in order to stay relevant. This would be akin to Apple putting out a new iPhone that costed billions to engineer year over year, but was giving the things away for free on the corner and only asking for money for the versions with more storage and what have you.

The vast majority of AI adjacent companies too are just repackaging OpenAI's LLMs, the exceptions being ones like Meta, which certainly has a more solid basis what with being tied to an incredibly profitable product in Facebook, but also... it's Meta and I'm sure as shit not using their AI for anything, because it's Meta.

I did some back of napkin math in a comment a ways back and landed on that in order to break even merely on training costs, not including the rest of the expenditure of the company, they would need to charge all of their current subscribers $150 per month, up from... I think the most expensive right now is about $20? So nearly an 8 fold price increase, with no attrition, to again break even. And I'm guessing all these investors they've had are not interested in a 0 sum.
Still amazed that video is so "cheap" on tokens despite being way more bytes than text

Kaspersky could very well be their big creditor, if it really made up such a huge percentage of their sales.

Assume, for illustration purposes, that they had a monthly revenue of $10M, of which $7M was Kaspersky sales.

15 days after their last month with Kaspersky, they need to pay Kaspersky $7M (minus fees), as well as $3M (minus fees) to their other merchants. But now they're only making $3M a month. Whatever payment schedule they can get Kaspersky to agree to, they still don't have enough money left to pay their other merchants.

Of course every company should save up for a rainy day, especially if they are exposed to this kind of risk. Unfortunately, many companies don't, either out of incompetence or out of malice -- which tend to become indistinguishable at these scales.

> We already have some of this sort, those that cannot write a loop in their primary coding language without stackoverflow, or those that need an IDE to fill in correct function usage.

I think that's the wrong dichotomy: LLMs are fine at turning man pages into working code. In huge codebases, LLMs do indeed lose track and make stuff up… but that's also where IDEs giving correct function usage is really useful for humans.

The way I think we're going to change, is that "LGTM" will no longer be sufficient depth of code review: LLMs can attend to more than we can, but they can't attend as well as we can.

And, of course, we will be getting a lot of LLM-generated code, and having to make sure that it really does what we want, without surprise side-effects.

Mediating Interactions Between AI and APIs
From that link to an article abstract:

---

Conclusions:

Although use of hospitalized control subjects excludes individuals with less severe disease, leading to selection bias, the study results suggest that caution should be exercised when prescribing high doses of amphetamines, with regular screening for symptoms of psychosis or mania.

---

Just because you "know 3 people who got psychosis" is not evidence and not a reason to go around spreading nonsense and random links to article abstracts.

The abstract you linked does, however, state that there seems to be a dose-response relationship to psychosis risk. That's part of the whole "prescribed and taken appropriately" thing and regular screening for symptoms of psychosis or mania.

If you or someone you know has a concern about a prescription they take, talk to a f'ing doctor and don't make decisions based on something you found on the Internet.
Only counting marriages that I have very close understanding of: Between my wife's immediate family and mine I've had personal insight into 11 different marriages, a mix of both types. Still a small sample size relative to the population as a whole, but not nothing.

I'm Australian and have been to exactly 1 open casket.

Soap box while I'm here: bodies do NOT need to be embalmed to have a viewing or open casket. If a funeral home is saying it's 'policy' to embalm for a viewing it is 99.9% of the time an internal/company policy and NOT a matter of law. Bodies kept cool without embalming are not stinky, discoloured, or dangerous, or any of the other reasons a funeral home will try to push for embalming. Yes there are exceptions, but they are few and they should all be explained to you in detail and you still have a choice! Prep methods for viewing (to keep eyes and mouth closed) can be done without embalming. You can take the body to a different funeral home at any point, so if you do end up at one refusing a viewing unless they're embalmed you really can go elsewhere. You also don't need a funeral home to have a viewing; you can do it at home as was custom (for ...millenia, I assume) until recently.

Numerical Precision Affects Mathematical Reasoning Capabilities of LLMs
Not sure if you're aware but it's not that uncommon for people to be interviewed when someone else already has the job, or they don't actually end up hiring. Maybe someone internal got the role and they still interviewed to meet HR requirements. So even if you did "the best interview ever" you're not guaranteed to get the job.

I remember going for an interview in London at the start of my career and all the candidates were in a room together beforehand talking and doing some group exercises. One of the candidates parents was best friends with the interviewer and knew several of the team and they weren't too shy about talking about it. It was pretty obvious she'd be the one getting the job!
Why open source should be the path forward in payments?

I think OP is onto a good analogy but it feels somewhat strangely mapped. To me, life should be JavaScript. (And conversely, JavaScript is life?). Most things don’t have life.

To me state management and aria style accessibility, keyboard events, are the things that are easiest to get wrong and where a library makes the most sense. Things like ESC closes a dialog, activating a popover automatically deactivates the current one, and of course taking care of teardown of event handlers..

Traditionally, UI component libraries have come with too much batteries included, like styles that are always inconsistent. Any customization is either cowboy (—-popover—inner-border-color) or unsupported because of fixed markup (eg title can only be plaintext, can’t use flex layouts, etc). I ended up hating them with a passion, because they lure you in with candy but bite you with treats afterwards.
The informal culture described in the article is massively underrated, or at least, the opposite is overrated.

I'm from the (highly formal, rules-based) UK, but have lived most of my adult life in places with strong informal cultures. I find home incredibly rigid, inflexible and stifled compared to a lot of other places I've lived. So much "computer says no" and "not worth my job" in every interaction, incredible precision and planning required for the most basic things.

I'd stress this isn't necessarily just a government thing, there's a culture of unhelpfulness, restrictions imposed by insurance policies, a lack of communal responsibility, rent-seeking behaviors in privatised public space.

Not saying the opposite is necessarily better, but there are different modes of being outside our Western norms. When you get your head around the way things work, things can often be a hell of a lot easier day to day.

Fair point about StrongDM and Teleport pricing. Actually, even their enterprise features are free in Hoop. We took a different approach - core PAM stuff is all free and open source.
