One of the things I'm greatly waiting for is January 2025, when the election is over and the president is sworn in (hopefully she is) and I don't have to see the blatant stupid double standard in the press regarding the two sides. The MAGA crew spews a steady stream of insults and credible threats to the point that everyday people are actually harassed on the street and in their home. When Biden says something that's arguably family friendly, everyone picks up their magnifying glass and starts splitting hairs over an apostrophe. Give me a break.
Yeah, like why would anyone want to revive toxic potatoes.
Mergiraf – a merge driver for Git that can solve a wide range of merge conflicts
This scam is actually pretty old- as in private patients get that all the time. My mum had her perfectly healthy teeth all drilled and filled in switzerland, as a private patient, when she was barely out of her teens.
I think it's likely everyone is overindexing on this, in every direction. The modal reason any startup applies to YC is to line up fundraising. Investors are obsessed with AI right now. Yes, they shouldn't be. At the same time: the CS techniques underneath "AI" are the most important thing to happen to CS in decades; it would be a little weird not to somehow intersect "AI", if only because you're working with embeddings or high-dimensional data somewhere; it would be like building an application purposefully without topological sort, or without trees. And if you're doing anything like that, it would be pretty dumb not to play up the "AI" angle in this market.

I'm sure a lot of it is pure slop, just a bunch of prompts and a CRUD app. But I wouldn't be so quick to assume that anybody talking about "AI" is just a bunch of prompts.
There's a 20x spread in Speedometer results on OpenBenchmarking, just including modern Intel Core CPUs, so yeah I would not be surprised if an M4 outran a 68030 by anywhere from 50x to 1000x
Thanks, I don't know anything about Axios and was unaware they have their own website. Should have said "the article".
No, it's real, it's just three or four generations back in time. Fire was essential. Without fire the potatoes wouldn't cook.
So you can just replace underperforming/flailing companies and still call it an average?
Harvard architecture computers use that same cycle. The difference between Harvard and von Neumann architecture is how memory is organized and used.
>turns out machines than can perform microfluidic chemistry aren’t mass produced and take time to make.

Can you provide a link to more information about this? I was under the (probably mistaken) assumption that microfluidics were using semiconductor-based lithography processes, and we've figured out how to scale the heck out of that.
> It's hard to argue a causative effect between one week of bad sleep and death potentially 10+ years out.

Statistically—absolutely, I agree with you, but controls and sample sizes can always be improved.

Narratively—it's also not difficult to see: "gunk builds up in brain; gunk requires regular removal; sleep removes gunk; stable sleep removes gunk better than unstable sleep"

It's difficult to blame people for emotionally attaching more to the latter than the former.
Not only that, I also know there have been changes/proposed changes to make it harder to submit possible amendments or to allow the legislature to override amendments that people vote for.

All to prevent people from getting their say. Because it’s the “wrong” say.
I agree, although he missed one of the puns. In that day, even young children were taught latin. The speech with "O Mouse" comes from the lesson on conjugation which often used "am" (love): amo, amus, amat, amamus, amatis, amant.
Having taken latin I recognized the joke. I always wished I could've written him about it.
I wish some of the sleeping/eating studies covered the options "sleep when I'm tired" and "eat when I'm hungry."

When remote work is an option, it'd be nice to know the health opportunity cost of RTO. Sadly the cohort is too hard to study outside of nursing home residents.
Noteworthy that this wasn't a bug, but a "feature":

In the full text, they did not appear to study the false positive and false negative rates. Their references to "sensitivity" were referring to the fact that they could detect even very small concentrations of the biomarker.

This is reasonable for this kind of study. I would expect a false negative / false positive rates in a study on the commercial device.
Filemaker might as well have been bought when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. It's such an acquisition from another era that it's a fully owned-subsidiary of Apple inc. that is completely separate from the rest of the company. Do you know how many other subsidiaries Apple has?
Yeah, seriously: I thought Rivian was going to be a more-reasonable rival to Tesla, but apparently they're going down the same tunnel to automation insanity, and just haven't made it stick yet.

Here is the paper

FYI we’ve probably crossed paths :)
No. I think we're past the point of it being hipsterism to suggest that AI techniques are "hype". Not every startup exploiting it is bona fide, but what's happening here is for real.
Correct, tortious interference has criteria, and making competing employment offers doesn’t necessarily or automatically meet those criteria, but it could if there are other factors involved. Again, it depends on the situation.

You’ve asked two different questions. One about legality and the other about public perception. There are lots of things that are legal and still considered unethical. And there are lots of things that might or might not be legal, that businesses avoid simply because there’s legal risk, and/or avoid because there’s risk of negative perception.

If everyone involved in a startup agreed to be individually hired, and divest interest in the startup, and there was mutual understanding on all sides, then there may be reasonable chances of success and no lawsuits. I think that probably has happened before. If not everyone agreed to it, and a company tried to acquihire all the individuals of a company forcefully without agreement by the investors and founders, there’s a high likelihood (risk) of legal conflict, and the likelihood will increase under US law if the acquiring company would start to look anything like a monopoly on the market in question after the unofficial “merger”, right?
its most likely export only and covertly endorsed by the state as a "payback for opium" (it's a big argument apologists make)
Show HN: Turn Any Image into an AI-Powered Conversation
I have been working on this Chrome browser extension called roleplayr.ai. It lets you have a conversation with any image you encounter online. Simply click on an image, start a conversation, and let AI bring it to life with unique responses based on its context.

I love the idea of turning visuals into interactive experiences. Imagine chatting with the Mona Lisa about Renaissance fashion or asking a historical figure about their life. Memes become punchlines waiting to happen. Roleplayr.ai turns visuals into engaging, AI-driven dialogues.

I believe this is a new way to explore the web. I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think.
Yeah. If you solve accessibility you generally solve SEO as a byproduct. Mainly because accessible sites are easy for machines to parse.
Is it fair to assume that Nvidia actually has some legs to stand on even after this AI pop and as possible real competitors come to market? Are there real competitors to Nvidia?
Do any index funds track it?
So it is kind of geared towards wealthy people?

In the sense that everybody with an established career in this field is "wealthy" relative to most other working people in the economy, yes.
Well this is a watershed moment.
I think you'd need industrial quantities for a recipe like this. Maybe you can infuse some animal fat (or vegetable oil) with the cannabis rosin, though, and roast the potatoes in it.
Maybe, maybe not - but are they on more solid footing than Intel? Undoubtedly.
It seems easier to see: "some people have lots of difficulties in their lives that makes them have an irregular sleep schedule; some people have lots of difficulties in their lives that makes them die early"
OH MY GOD !

I would bet a million bucks that Jobs put that price in because he basically said well if they buy the Linux version we're down one Mac sale from them so charge them our profit margin on a Mac Pro.
Huge news, congratulations!

I was building something similar back during COVID, as LTSE's Runway stopped being improve, Summit (usesummit.com) pivoted to being a no-code tool and Obvious (YC S21 perhaps?) shut down.

Instead of building it myself, I found and have been using Causal actively since April 2021 and advocating for it ever since, using it heavily for my latest three ventures and just last month for personal use. It's so far one of my favorite products to use, on level with Linear in terms of quality!

I'm not a commercial user and might never be, but it has been invaluable for me in my commercial and personal uses for budgeting and forecasting.

Hope you can fit in great at Lucanet, and try your best to keep the free model available!
It's not that these are must-haves: it's that it removes any such anxiety about these to begin with. I can take the laptop with me wherever I'm going, and not have to worry about charging it, or that the heat will make it unbearable to use on my lap, or that the fan will be noticeable. It means I can work at a cafe, in a car, on a bus, on a train, on a flight without power, and not have to worry.

And these things compound, as the other poster mentioned: 24 hours of light use means longer heavy use, which actually does matter to me. I often move around while using the MacBook because it's good to change up my (physical) perspective - and it means I can do that without the charger while hammering every core with rustc.

Once you see that better things are possible, it's very hard to go back to the comparatively terrible performance-per-watt and heat generation of equally powerful x86 laptops.
AMD, Groq in the future, TMSC?

Edit: I will add Apple.
This is more like a holy fuck moment.

Will nVidia turn around and buy Intel, in spite, after Intel did not renew its nForce chipset license?
Congratulations on the merger. This is not a percentage-based commissary in the marketplace of ideas. Hope to see further uses of the "multidimensional spreadsheet." It sticks out at you in every axis.
Anything on DIY piezoelectric actuators?
Haven’t used this library, but the answer is the same as it is for real React apps. How does this application perform if I have a scrollable view with 50,000 items in it and I press the down arrow? This kind of thing is why React can be the cause of bad performance.
I know someone who was in a recent batch.

He said that 95% of the batch are between 20 and 30, mostly AI and mostly US.

There are exceptions to the rule but let's not pretend there isn't a YC thesis.
Show your work.

Most people who say things like this tend to deeply misunderstand TDP and end up making really weird comparisons. Like high wattage desktop towers compared to fan-less MacBook Airs.

The process lead Apple tends to enjoy no doubt plays a huge role in their success. But you could also turn around and say that’s the only reason AMD has gained so much ground against Intel. Spoiler: it’s not. Process node and design work together for the results you see. People tend to get very stingy with credit for this though if there’s an Apple logo involved.
And the bandwidth. A M4 Ultra would be a nice upgrade for large LLM inference on a budget.
Context and purpose matters.

People use "fuck" or "fucking" to add emphasis to something even though some people might find the word impolite and a pearl-clutching conservative might take offense.

But "Let's Go Brandon" is intended to offend, and "China Virus" is racist. "DEI" is now being used as an insult to imply that someone is unqualified for their job and often blatantly ignores a massive list of qualifications. A woman or racial minority can't make mistakes on the job now, because people will crawl out of the shadows to scream "DEI hire! DEI hire!"

To put it bluntly, using those phrases in those ways kind of makes you a piece of garbage, and moderators are well within their right to take out the trash.

Maybe try to be a better person and you won't have to worry about getting downvoted and banned.
No, it doesn't work like that.

The rubber composition, and tread patterning, on snow tires are categorically different from summer tires and adjusting pressure and whatever "handling characteristics" are won't give you the same level of control in snow.

Plus the tires wear down entirely eventually.

For the 12v battery, theoretically an EV could pulse-recondition an underperforming 12v battery, though I doubt any currently do.

There's a big difference between someone thinking software can solve everything, and pointing out that software has already solved some things, and the opportunity exists for it to solve more.
You either didn't read your own link, or didn't understand it - NP++ uses a DLL that could be separately backdoored; the backdoored version wasn't shipping with NP++ installations.

You could in theory do something similar with literally any Windows application that links a DLL (i.e. virtually all of them).
With only a 29kwh battery? I'm expecting a much larger battery in Ford's BEV compact pickup.
Turps is toxic if ingested, and it’s not clear if the rosin byproduct of turps production still contains some amount of turps.

I loathe the smell of turps, I wouldn’t eat anything that had any chance of coming into contact with it.
I think a decent number on here.

No worries .. the National Review were decent enough to indicate their source and even went the extra yards to include a link (although subtle).

That is sadly becoming less common.

The trick with reading news these days is to train yourself to look to source references, they're often present, increasingly (and annoying!!) not, finding them can be like looking for bent grass and broken twigs when game hunting.
They never say that.

They say: Tesla shares up as revealations surface that the wind is blowing east.
> but the ones that succeed can win really big

May. Not can.

There is no evidence yet that AI is anything other than a feature.
On the flip side, Vision Pro has no apps and it may not be the biggest reason for its failure, but it’s a contributor that I don’t see changing.

Apple’s main source of innovation is applying mafia tactics to software distribution.

Yeah, I can definitely see this being an issue going forward for quite some time. The existence of non-Apple ARM devices should hopefully lead to general interest in addressing these issues, but there's so much hardware and software out there, and only so many devs with the time, interest and access to fix them.

On the other hand, I suspect people will start making choices for their hardware/software that maximise compatibility, as they already do for Linux x86. ("Don't buy NVIDIA if you want functioning Wayland", etc.) It'll be tough, but things will hopefully get better over time.
It doesn't have to be 100% libre. This is about booting any OS you want in the first place.

If you take some random windows laptop off the shelf, it will boot linux (and continue to do so in the future) because they have to support UEFI. If you take a "linux" friendly vendor off the shelf, you may even have coreboot or something on-board.

But with this apple situation there is no guarantee the next generation of hardware won't lock you out, or they might push out an OTA firmware update that locks you out. It's like porting linux to the playstation or something.
Apple Weather reliability is an absolute mess since the Dark Sky integration.

It's constantly saying it's not going to rain for hours, then I look out my window and it's raining at this very moment.

They would be better to dump any prediction model they use and just show the raw data sources as it would be more accurate.
I did my own RPS game, and to be honest absolutely struggled to make it remotely interesting. This is even if you have bots that replicate psychological ploys.

It seems the interest in the game itself is like the old poker maxim “play the man, not the cards”. Unless you have a relationship outside of the game with your opponent it is just a bit too abstract.

Great work! Makes me wonder how we will experience books (and knowledge in general) in the future. It's obvious that the static/linear representation of knowledge + the information overload we are all immersed into needs to evolve.
Is the motivation behind this known?
False dichotomy. You know very well there is a spectrum on which Apple resides on nearly the opposite side of pine phone.
“Ideally, you would want to interact with your car through voice."

Perhaps this is true for things like turning the air conditioning up and down on boring drives where you fantasize about being Jean-Luc Picard*. I am much less convinced of this for anything where reaction time matters.

Every electronic musician I know prefers hardware control surfaces to virtualized ones. Draw your own conclusions.

* I think one of the major things Star Trek gets wrong is the representation of HCI. It looks good on screen and makes storytelling easier but creates other problems. Indeed, there are episodes where the computer goes down and highly skilled starship crew are faced with blank screens and must resort o crawling around in utility ducts and hitting things with electronic spanners.
Yeah, but that Rosetta was usually delivering "i guess it works?" results. It was so slow.
