Yup things look bleak but its not a static world. For everything that happens there is a reaction. It builds with time. But to find the right reaction also takes time. This is the Explore part in the Tradeoff. AI will be applied there not just on the Exploit front.

What you are alluding too is Media/Social Medias current architecture and how it captures and steals peoples attention. Totally on the Exploit end of the tradeoff. And its easy stuff to do. Doesnt take time.

If you read the news after the fall of France to the nazis (within a month), what do you think the opinion of people was?
People were thinking about peace negotiations with Hitler and that the Germans couldnt be beaten. It took a whole lot of Time to realize things could tilt in a different direction.
That's simply not likely. 75 million voters went for Trump in 2020. That's almost half the voters. It's unlikely that there's 75 million voters out there that are not Democrats or Trump supporters. If that is the case, Bidens support should either have been higher or there should have been at least that many blank ballots, or alternatively, Bidens 80 million votes is half Democrats and half anti Trump Republicans, in which case, the Democratic party, which historically is the larger party, is all but dead
Well maybe not impossible. Boeing designed extending landing gear for the 737 Max 10 (although it was mainly done to allow for stretching the fuselage). That didn't require any major breakthroughs and presumably could have been brought forward to the Max 8 in order to allow lower engine placement, although it would have delayed development.
This works great, thank you.

F*ck it, I'm not gonna sugar coat it.

I was supposed to be working on a project called Tagbox... but it feels like it's never gonna see the light of day. I hope I'm wrong though, I still want this to succeed, for once in my life, I want to actually succeed on at least one thing. I want to contribute some good thing to the society.

First, what is it? It's a bookmarking app alternative to Pocket or Raindrop.io. Yeah, you can already tell it's not the most original idea. What makes it different, though, it's supposed to be self-hostable and additionally it's easy to deploy as it's only single binary file with no other runtime dependency--the database uses SQLite, which you can include it as a library in Rust.

What problems I'm facing while developing this? Honestly? I don't know, but I can't finish the last 10% progress of the app. It's funny--I first wrote it in Go, and it almost reached MVP. But, instead, I decided to just rewrite in Rust. Well, at least I got to learn new language while building this app, two birds one stone, or in Bahasa Indonesia, swimming while drinking water.

But now, I just can't force myself to continue. And I don't know why. Maybe perfectionism? It definitely doesn't have to do with skill though.

There are also another thing I'm working on: recovering from depression. One year ago, out of nowhere, I lost all my motivation doing anything--including university. I lost all my friends. Since then, I'm at the lowest point of my life. I visited psychiatrist multiple times. I don't know if it was effective, but recently I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

The Tagbox Project is also one of the efforts for me to recover from depression. The depression phase made me realize that I _want my works to have a positive effect on the world, even for just a little bit_. I don't want my skill to be used for evil companies that throws away moral and ethics. Specifically AI stuff, but that's OOT of this thread.

Here are the links if you're interested,

fairly clear what they can and can't do

It’s not at all clear what the next gen models will do (e.g. gpt5). Might be enough to trigger mass unemployment. Or not.
If we're interpreting what I wrote charitably, it's implicit that "obvious" facts will extremely rarely have hedging language, so the anti-hedging conversation can focus elsewhere.

I _knew_ somebody was going to nitpick that phrase and rejected the urge to write a few extra paragraphs in the format of a HN comment expressing the idea more completely...

If we want to look at it a bit less charitably though, even things that are true "as far as anyone has been able to prove" are usually not perceived to be true for a significant fraction of the human race, so in interactions with randos (like this current thread) it's still reasonable to assume that we're talking about opinions rather than facts. Even when talking about "facts" (as you partially defined them), the core idea still holds -- your _opinion_ (maybe a very well validated opinion) is that those facts are true, and hedging language is discourteous to the reader.
I would have failed the test. It frightens me that an 8th grader would be better educated than me today.

What are you thinking? It's the business that matters, not the technical details. The program runs as long as it runs. What do you care how it runs. Expand the business first, and when you're making money, hire a programmer who can work out the technical details.

Show HN: The Designer Directory – Top Design Talent for Startups
Hello HN!

Investing in craft and building a brand is key to hiring talent and showing customers that you care.

Early-stage startups often struggle to hire top design talent for contract or full-time work. After working/consulting several startups, I've created a directory of designers I personally vouch for. professionals who value craft and have helped startups grow.
GenX here. 70% was minimum acceptable grade when I was in US public school and when I was in College. You could technically pass a class in public school with 60% (D-). However you needed a C GPA to graduate high school in my day.

In college anything below a C put you on academic probation. In graduate school anything lower than a B put you on academic probation.
I do think one of the major weaknesses of “smart people” is they tend to think of intelligence as the key aspect of basically everything. Reality is though we have plenty of intelligence already. We know how to solve most of our problems. The challenges are much more social and our will as a society to make things happen.
About me (the maker): Over the last few years, I have had the opportunity to work with and get to know the best designers in the world. This was because I was trained by one of them and it set the bar high - for craft and problem solving.

After working at a VC firm, an early stage startup and big tech - I realized that teams often never realize what value can come out of hiring a really good founding designer. I want to help with that.

I have spent endless hours curating this list and will continue to do so. With the full directory access, you will also have the opportunity to meet with me for 30 mins to consult on anything/jam on stuff together.

There is no evidence I am aware of that Captagon is actually being sold as anything but fenethylline.

Bekenstein-Hawking radiation is unproven hypothesis based on Bekenstein‘s idea that black hole should have entropy and non-zero temperature. It does not follow from General Relativity equations. One can argue just as well that black holes have zero temperature and do not evaporate.
I'd say the daily "visual clutter" of living in Chinese cities is on par or more than other cities, like Tokyo.

In Shenzhen for example, it's not uncommon to see police wearing flashing sirens on their shoulders as part of their uniform. Motorcyclists share the same road as pedestrians, and with so many delivery app drivers you're always on the lookout to avoid being hit.

On SZ and Beijing metro trains, video ads are projected inside tunnels, matching the speed of the carriage - example: https://youtu.be/sp7KDNKpVhY

Personally I've seen much more advertising on Chinese shopping apps like Taobao, compared to say Amazon. Cluttercore advertising seems to be a deeply rooted culture there.
That's the theory, but in practice that's not how it works.

Firstly, of course, most customers don't have any programming skills at all, so the point is moot. But let's limit ourselves to customers that do have IT departments.

It's worth noting that IT departments are already busy. Deploying resources because you found a bug in PostgreSQL is unlikely.

But ok, you found a bug. And we happen to have a highly paid C programmer on staff. Let's ask him to take a look.

He's not familiar with PostgreSQL architecture- do it'll take a few days to download the source, make a build, hope the build is close to our version, and deploy to production. (This has already cost the business more than a enterprise support contract from Postgres but whatever...)

He then spends a month working through various subsystems to determine the exact flow that leads to your bug. (I'm gonna ignore all the cases where the "bug" isn't a bug.) He makes a tweak, merges it into the current build, and deploys.

He even submits the PR which may or may not be accepted. Until it is he's regularly pulled from his task to update the PostgreSQL source and rebuild.

Everyone else plagues him either PostgreSQL questions twice a week now. His manager gives him a 'poor' rating at the next review because the thing he was actually hired to do is not getting done.

Unless the company is selling to other PostgreSQL developers, there's no "free publicity". That's not how publicity works.

So yes, your scenario is possible, but its simply not how things happen. You complain to the IT department - they add PostgreSQL enterprise support to the next budget. They're not looking to take on extra load unnecessarily.

Yes, the major contributers to big OSS projects are tech companies contributing full time programmers. And that's a good thing. But customers do not have the time or resources (or inclination) to go down this road.

Frankly, it's too hard (in most cases) to just build the software, much less understand the code to make changes.

What is "Decline I" a typo of? I interpret is as a request to decline (that is, give the inflected forms of) the pronoun "I".

I built CryptoGain, an (currently) android app for cryptocurrency market tracking and analysis. Started it after getting frustrated with the limitations other apps put on technical analysis features behind premium tiers.

It offers:

- comprehensive technical analysis tools without artificial limits or cost

- customizable price alerts

- portfolio and watchlist management

- live market data across major exchanges

- available in 15+ languages

Currently serving a few thousand users and actively iterating based on feedback. The focus has been on making advanced trading tools accessible while maintaining a clean, intuitive interface.

Store link if anyone wants to check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptogain...

Would love feedback from the HN community, especially around what technical analysis features you find essential but are often paywalled in other apps.
> While it might be easy to romanticize the rigor of early 20th-century education based on this exam, it's important to recognize that the educational system of 1912 served a very different purpose compared to today’s system. The 1912 exam prioritized foundational, concrete knowledge, preparing students for the immediate demands of adult life in a largely localized, labor-intensive world. In contrast, the 2024 education system aims to equip students with the skills needed for a global, ever-changing job market, emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, and technological literacy.

I'd much prefer my children to have concrete knowledge and prepared for the world. Frankly, they'll be plenty prepared for the job market. Many of the folks I work are barely able to function outside of their role at work -- order all their food, can't change a tire, outsource all knowledge, etc. They're probably like the aristocrats in the 17th - 19th centuries, where they know only what they need, servants take care of the rest.
Genuinely curious since I’d only heard of the “51% attack” — what happens around 20%?
10% of primary school students went on to high school?

10% of high school aged people attended a high school?

90% of students enrolled in high school never bothered to attend or "worked from home"?

“Decline I” is an instruction for the student to provide the first person pronoun in all cases: I (nominative), me (accusative/dative/ablative), my (genitive), mine (genitive substantive). (I have borrowed the case names from Latin, with which I am more familiar. I think the English cases are nominative, objective, possessive.)

I believe the misspellings in the spelling section are intentional so that the student will identify them—I am guessing that’s the point.
I’d go further and say nobody should be subjected to this stuff. Engagement is a euphemism for addiction. Self improving addiction machines are a horrible idea. They’re actively bad for people and society for a laundry list of reasons.

Anyone who works on this stuff should be ashamed of yourselves. You’re modern day cigarette companies.
Eh, I’m not talking about people’s opinions.

I’m talking about evolutionary functions, and how much more likely it is to prefer something that has fun and just looks like it’s doing something, instead of actually doing something.

Aka manipulation vs actual hard work.

Do you have any concrete proposals, besides ‘it will get better’?

Actual competency is hard. Faking it is usually way easier.

It’s the same reason the ‘grey goo’ scenarios were actually pipe dreams too. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo]

That shit would be really hard, thermodynamically, not to mention technically.

We’re already living in the best ‘grey goo’ scenario evolution has come up with, and I’m not particularly worried.
Skip a few generations and the machine will build itself. There’s no need for it to take lasers exploding tin to generate ultra Violet to etch patterns to make intelligence, humans don’t grow brains that way or spend billions on fabs and power plants to produce children.

That prop plane isn't doing SEA->CHI in 4 hours. It probably isn't doing it all in a single hop.
Literally the same:

A type is a theorem and its implementation a proof, if you believe that Curry-Howard stuff.

We “prove” (implement) advanced “theorems” (types) using already “proven” (implemented) bodies of work rather than return to “axioms” (machine code).
"Kalsomining" is the -ing form of "kalsomine", ie. whitewash.

"Decline I" is a request to decline the pronoun "I".
This is really interesting because it's a very Western point of view.

SE Asian countries are big on social hierarchy and social cohesion. In the West, we view this as these countries repressing their citizens, because that would have to be the situation for a Western country to behave like this. It's not so clear-cut there. SE Asia has a very strong, very ancient culture that is different to Western culture. We don't get to just say "you should do things our way".

One major difference is their attitude to authority: in the West if you disagree with your boss you are expected to say so, possibly in private. In SE Asia that would be unbelievably rude and disrespectful, even in private. This attitude flows out to government and leadership; criticising a leader is incredibly rude. They prioritise everyone getting along rather than The Truth [0].

SE Asia has no "free speech" media any more [1], partly for this reason. Their culture just doesn't prioritise this as value. I would expect their Wikipedia entries to reflect this, too.

[0] and given the shitshow of Western democracies lately, I'm not convinced our priorities are working so much better.

[1] you can argue this, it depends on your definition of any of the words in this sentence. But we can agree that the vast majority of media in SE Asia is directly controlled by government one way or another, and the remainder is indirectly controlled.

waydroid requires a kernel module or a kernel with support built in like zen https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Waydroid#Kernel_Modules

From a quick look at the gitlab I don't see any mention of similar requirements. If that's the case, it would be easier to run. Also bonus if gpu support is better than "NVIDIA GPUs do not work currently"
But waydroid is just an android system in a window. That's really not as useful as it could be, especially with a mouse and keyboard.
What do you feel is an appropriate and ethical way to surface content?

How would you go about writing the recommendation algorithm?
Most "side projects" have no users, other than maybe their creator, and therefore provide zero value to society. Furthermore, there's no intrinsic value in "contributing to society" — a term that is completely arbitrary, anyway. If the idea that you can improve society with your projects provides you joy, more power to you, but that's all it should boil down to: doing what you enjoy the most.

That seems pretty straightforward. Why would any Supreme Court ignore that?

It's also easy to get around. Eventually there will be a Congress that consents.
Grindset self-promo tactics being pervasively, overly represented in the content submissions and discussions here are the number one reason I take very long breaks from the site.

More genuine conversations are intensely welcome, so if that takes overt guard rails, so be it. If the only enthusiasm someone really wants to share is about their capitalist endeavors, count me out.
But I thought the experience with waydroid is running an android system in a window? You can run android applications directly in Linux as their own "native" window using waydroid?
"eneeavor" is I think the only misspelling in the spelling section, so I don't think it is intentional. Perhaps the test was read aloud.
