I made an LLM web-form filler. Granted I may not be super smart, but I fail to see the issue.

It's not like the LLM itself is filling the form, all it does is tell my app what should go where and the app only fills elements that the user can see (nothing outside the frame / off screen).

You could tell the LLM all kinds of malicious things, but it can't really do much by itself? Especially if it's running offline.

Now if the user falls for a phishing site and has the LLM fill the form there, sure, that's not good, but the user would've filled the form out without the LLM app as well?

Maybe I'm missing something. would be happy to learn.

On top of that the one I worked with who was good at this also took on small cases because otherwise he'd regularly have nothing to do.

Show HN: Built a Tool to Eliminate Stripe's Invoicing Fee – PayVoice
Hi all! I created PayVoice to help businesses avoid Stripe's 0.4% invoicing fee while simplifying the invoicing process. Many businesses are spending extra money on Stripe invoices and dealing with manual work. I wanted to provide a more cost-effective and automated solution.

With PayVoice, customers can generate, edit, and download invoices themselves—saving time and reducing customer support demands. What makes PayVoice stand out is our competitive pricing and the ability to automate invoicing using API.

Here are some of the key features:

1-minute no-code setup
Self-serve invoicing to reduce support
No more 0.4% Stripe invoicing fee
Automate invoicing with API support
More affordable compared to other tools
PayVoice securely connects to Stripe using Restricted API keys, ensuring your data is protected while streamlining invoicing.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any suggestions on how to make PayVoice even better!

Thank you!

According to ChatGPT, there's GForth, SwiftForth, Forth-83, eForth and picoForth, but I cannot really tell how true it is. I use my own implementation, which I wish to publish someday but that's extra work for me to "anonymize" it.
Probably the closest to it among ChatGPT's suggestion is eForth, but it's unfortunate IMHO they use C++.

I would argue that our true cruelty of killing other beings is that we specifically farm them in horrible conditions just to be our food. If all meat was hunted from nature, I would have no issues with it.
I have a Volt and love it - it's the perfect car for someone like me with a 30 mi round trip commute. Partner recently got the plugin hybrid version of the BMW X5 (gets about 50 miles on electric), and so far we love that car, too.

For Factorio 2.0, there's a lot of graphics that have gotten higher resolution upgrades. Earendel has blogged about working on this. (The Space Exploration mod author, who also works for Wube).

Whether or not you describe it as "rights", the concept of animal cruelty has been around for centuries. Probably millennia. And the great majority of people seem comfortable with shades-of-gray classifications of animals for that purpose. If some kid is capturing squirrels and torturing them, he's "obviously" a psychopathic sicko. Vs. if Ed's Exterminators is fleabombing some cat lady's house - nobody's getting worked up about Evil Ed "gassing" the poor, innocent fleas.
I would be all for more severe laws on abuse and living conditions for animals without it getting into the specifics of "intelligence" or "rights".
Something akin to the golden rule.

Let's be honest, these laws won't apply to the average person. It'll apply to where it really matters:

Poach an elephant in Africa and come home? Now you're going to court for murder.

Keep a Monkey inside your house? Looks like you're going to court for kidnapping.

Keep a dog outside chained to a fence and barely feed it? Looks like you're going to court for abuse (more severe than what we do now).

We can make provisions for things. Animals eat animals that's the reality of our world. But make cows sit in their own shit for years and eat food that's non nutritional for them? Now you're going to jail for mass incarceration of living things.

It's wildly accepted bees are quite intelligent. Let's treat the company who made insecticides that killed all the bees with genocide. Once that legal president is set, let's do the same for people who continue to use insecticides.
Not all mathematical objects have correspondents in the natural world.

0 it's a mathematical convention. We can't have 0 apples in a basket. We either have some apples or we don't have any.

If 0 is weird, negative numbers are also weird. Infinity is weird. Spaces with more than three dimensions are weird.

Complex numbers are weird from an algebraic perspective but not that weird from a geometric perspective.

Empty set is weird.

Everything that's abstract is weird.

For my mind abstract algebra is more weird than calculus and mathematical analysis so that's why I enjoy calculus and mathematical analysis more.

But being weird and abstract can also be useful.
The new Sonnet 3.5 refused to decode it which is somehow simultaneously encouraging and disappointing; surely it’s just a guardrail implemented via the original system prompt which suggests, to me, that it would be (trivial?) to jailbreak.
Hypothetically given I don't know the nature of the sites with the forms you're filling and can only infer the rough edges of the app itself from that description:

I have seen a few months ago some study, but I do not remember a link, whose results were that for elevated blood pressure an excess intake of sodium was much less important than an insufficient intake of potassium, correlated to the sodium intake.

EDIT:
I see that one of your links has the same topic with the more recent study that I had seen, i.e. the at least equal importance of the potassium intake.

File name doesn’t necessarily include the whole path. The last 16 characters of CHANGELOG.md is the full file name.

If we interpret it that way, that also explains why the filepathwalk solution solves the problem.

But if it’s really based on the last 16 characters of just the file name, not the whole path, then it feels like this problem should be a lot more common. At least in monorepos.

Well, because being more productive makes more money, of course. Even if I only capture a small portion of the overall value of it.

Scratch that - I'm using "money" as a proxy for "value". Let's talk value directly. All things being equal, if I can enjoy Activity A totally in isolation, and Activity B equally much, but B leaves something behind which other people can use and get their own value out of, then B is clearly a better or more noble use of my time. Being productive just makes you a better person on net.

Now... I do not choose the "max productivity" strat with each and every second of my being, far from it. I'll probably buy and play Factorio sometime in the next few months, and it will be Steam game #3 added to my library after FTL and Slay the Spire. But I'm not going to sit here and pretend it is somehow better for the world outside of myself to play Factorio rather than e.g. improve the FOSS software I maintain that helps people learn Finnish. Let alone something like contribute to the Linux kernel. This is a philosophical non-question to me.

> Fundamentally, LLMs are gullible.

I'd say that the fundamental problem is mixing command & data channels. If you remember the early days of dial-up, you could disconnect anyone from the internet by sending them a ping with a ATH0 command as payload. That got eventually solved, but it was fun for a while.

We need LLMs to be "gullible" as you say, and follow commands. We don't need them to follow commands from data. ATM most implementations use the same channel (i.e. text) for both. Once that is solved, these kinds of problems will go away. It's unclear now how this will be solved, tho...
Thanks for that. Took a look at it, and... it doesn't handle 3.1 documents correctly. One of the major defects in the OpenAPI document spec pre-3.1 is that you can't put descriptions on any usage of a model in your API. I mean... WTF?

So if you had a data structure called User, and you used it to represent users in different roles in your API somehow, you can't annotate the instances of User in your document to say what kind of user you're talking about. You can annotate the elements inside the User model (like strings, numbers, or whatever) but not usages of the model itself. Before version 3.1, this blunder rendered OpenAPI half-useless for one of its core purposes: documenting your API.

API-Fiddle acts as though that's still true. There is no Description button anywhere in your schema alongside any use of a model.
Because academic code is horrendous.

I once worked in an IT department of a genetics laboratory, which consistently publishes high impact papers in journals like Science and Nature.

While I was there I got to see some of the R/Python/Java code that had been created for all kinds of studies that had taken place there. It was some of the worst code I have ever seen.

But I do agree, the complete methodology including the code should be shared.
> Maybe this is less of a thing on the coasts, but where I live people have families, friends, churches, bars, clubs, and many other outlets that are designed for this kind of personal reflection and mourning. We don't expect our workplace to provide it for us because we don't live at work. We go into work to earn money to provide means for us to live our lives outside of work. To the extent that we want our coworkers to be involved in those spaces, we invite them to be.

Yet corporations are eager to show allyship and support to the cause of the moment whenever it provides benefits in term of image and recognition.
That's a bold statement considering it is utterly incorrect.

Why? Intel, AMD and Google never made anything useful with OpenCL.

That is OpenCL 3.0 is OpenCL 1.0 without the OpenCL 2.x stuff that no one ever adopted.
And the outcomes are frequently undemocratic. Only in America is it fair for the smaller number to be bigger than the bigger number, which just so happens to conveniently benefit the minority, who then twist themselves into knots to "well, akshually" us all to death.
> Human society is predicated on humans being special.

So far, so good.

> Any truly objective observer will say humans are no different from other animals on Earth

And...we hard exit stage left. It's sad when presumably good intentions, like the ethical treatment of animals and cultivating some well needed humility as a species, leads to such an unfounded point of view.

From a purely biological perspective, I could see that argument. But until animals start hunting, experimenting on, cultivating, and eating humans, en masse, creating symphonies or buildings that will last centuries, and start sending themselves to space, I'll continue to believe the difference between humans and animals is a qualitative and not just a quantitative difference. I don't think a truly objective observe could see it any other way.

Another elephant in the room is that many of the popular open source projects are funded by big tech.

Hard to be an alternative when you serve the same master.
It's not that simple, people systematically create groups with laws, and those groups (governments) defend laws with violence, so as long as something is law, things don't need to be strong to be protected. "The iron law of nature" defends grandmas, because groups (governments) don't like grandmas being attacked, and defend grandmas with violence. One could do the same with elephants, no problem.
Sadly, I'm in Germany. Which is a third world country when it comes to decent connectivity. They are rolling out some fiber now in Berlin. Finally. But very slowly and not to my building any time soon. Most of the country is limited to DSL speeds. Mobile coverage is getting better but still non existent outside of cities. Germany has borders with nine countries. Each of those have better connectivity than Germany.

I'm from the Netherlands where over 90% of households now have fiber connections, for example. Here in Berlin it's very hard to get that. They are starting to roll it out in some areas but it's taking very long and each building has to then get connected, which is up to the building owners.
I'd like to also add that you have the option to have SMS/MMS automatically forwarded to an email or phone number. You could potentially have all SMS/MMS forwarded to a shared email you have with your spouse. This will ensure you can receive and view the MMS's while still responding to/receiving texts or sending MMS via SIP.
I don't know how tech savvy you are, but they also have the ability to set up webhooks or callbacks. They also support SMPP
The granularity of the performance timers were too specific, allowing the number of cores to be deduced by the amount of time it took to do certain math functions.

Those certain math functions happen to be floating point operations that are ordered in a way to maximize the inaccuracy property off floating point types.

These inaccuracies are very correlatable.
> I think what this really suggests is that the transformer and power supply are providing multiple voltages. The +9V rail is broken, but the other rail (maybe +5V) for the LED display is fine.

There's a reference design in the LM8560N IC PDF that suggests that the additional secondary winding is only used to drive the display, and all other electronics is powered off the main rail.

The 10V cap is kaput and it can't filter the input power, 9V just acts as a filter (even a discharged one). The OP should replace the cap with a 16V one, because a 10V cap on a 9V rail just isn't right..
Wouldn't SQUEAL be an even smoother interpretation of SQL?
I found this interesting note in the article:

> HEIC and AVIF can handle larger [than 35MP, 8MP respectively] images but not directly in a single code stream. You must decompose the image into a grid of independently encoded tiles, which could cause discontinuities at the grid boundaries. [demo image follows].

The newest Fujifilm X cameras have HEIC support but also added 40MP sensors--does this mean they are having to split their HEIC outputs into two encoding grids?

It seems like the iPhone avoided this, as 48MP output is only available as a "ProRAW" i.e. RAW+JPEG, which previously used regular JPEG and now JPEG-XL, but never HEIC.

That's a strange objection, because Haskell supports state, of course. In fact I'd say it's the best language for supporting state, because it makes it explicit.

The safest way to browse the web in any browser is by disabling JavaScript or using a NoScript extension.

A lot of the web works surprisingly well still, and you can turn on just what you need when you need it, placing your most visited sites on an allow list, but still denying a lot of third party things on those sites.

The internet is a joy with js disabled virtually everywhere. And all the canvas fingerprinting, webrtc leak, font fingerprinting, super cookies, etc... are all defeated by simply not running JavaScript

Grading rights in this way could also have consequences for humans. If rights are to be assigned based on intelligence/sociability/capability then it opens the door to considering whether some humans might not qualify.
It's hard to generate tests for typical C# code. Or for any context where you have external dependencies.

If you have injected services in your current service, the LLM doesn't know anything about those so it makes poor guesses. You have to bring those in context, so they can be mocked properly.

You end up spending a lot of time guiding the LLM, so it's not measurably faster than writing test by hand.

I want my prompt to be: "write unit tests for XYZ method" without having to accurately describe it the prompt what the method does, how it does it and why it does it. Writing too many details in the prompt takes the same time as writing the code myself.

Github Copilot should be better since it's supposed to have access to you entire code base. But somehow it doesn't look at dependencies and it just uses the knowledge of the codebase for stylistic purposes.

It's probably my fault, there are for sure better ways to use LLMs for code, but I am probably not the only one who struggles.
