> The simplest of course being a basic rolling code, where a counter is transmitted along with the command and this has to increment compared to the last press.

These attacks typically rely on jamming the receiver in the car (eg. with a tone at a frequency between the two frequencies used by the FSK of the key), whilst capturing the signal sent by the remote.

Then the attacker replays the signal to the car at a later date.

Since the car has never seen this signal, it defeats any rolling code mechanism. Without both sides having a clock, there is no defence.
I just visited Japan and found the language situation around tourists was frankly perplexing.

With some tourists, English was a lingua franca. I ran across some Chinese tourists asking some non-English speaking white tourists (French maybe?) a question in English and not being able to communicate.

With others, Japanese was the interchange language of choice, such as with some Taiwanese tourists.

For native Japanese people speaking English, it was invariably a huge relief for them to fall back to speaking in Japanese with me. Even those with excellent English pronunciation were like this too.

Only once did I feel weird speaking Japanese, with a hotel receptionist who turned out to be Korean.
QNX is now free for anything non-commercial, plus there's an RPi image
Hiya folks!

I'm John from the Developer Relations team at QNX. I'm a loooong time lurker of this forum and excited to make my first post.

I just wanted to let you know that we've kicked off a new program to start opening the doors to QNX like things used to be. Many of you probably used or tinkered with (the very open) QNX back in the day. You can now easily get a free non-commercial license to use the newest QNX. We've also just released some sample apps and a ready-to-go QNX 8.0 quick start target image for Raspberry Pi. So you can get QNX and the development tools for free now to learn, experiment, and build.

It's been a long time in the making, so I'm really excited to get to post about this first phase of the QNX Everywhere initiative. My team and management have open ears, so please share feedback about what more we can do to open things up, be more transparent, and get you what you need to create an awesome embedded QNX project.

Cheers!
I always thought that pattern matching would be an excellent feature for other programming languages, but it seems that it hasn't become popular. Many strategies available to Prolog could become possible just by the addition of this feature. One possible implementation of the idea occurs with C++ templates specialized with numerical parameters. It also seems that Mathematica provides pattern matching, but I don't use that language.

As a seed-stage VC who has had the chance to interact with a number of Japanese entrepreneurs spinning businesses out of research at Harvard or MIT, I haven't found the conversations more superficial than with American entrepreneurs.

Maybe there's large sums of money at stake, polite and superficial conversation is a way of mitigating risk? I won't pretend to know the answer, but as a deep technologist I find the fundraising conversations with entrepreneurs deeply dissatisfying on average. And as a multi-time entrepreneur myself, I have definitely felt the same way sitting on the other side of the table.

If you work for a hyper-scale tech company that only cares about money money money, then yeah -- nobody's getting promoted for improving core functionality.

But I've worked at several companies where that sort of thing is not only rewarded, but celebrated. One was a factory. Another was healthcare. Tech is the aberation, but on HN we pretend that it's normal and good.

The majority of Americans are overweight, as far as the science shows artificial sweeteners are the best choice for them vs full calorie.

If you look up the evidence for the downsides of artificial sweeteners anything that finds one is generally an observational study. So for example, the claim that they cause obesity is backed by the observation that obese people consume it in greater amounts than people who are not obese. That's like standing in front of a hospital and noticing everyone with a broken leg is on crutches and coming to the conclusion that crutches are the problem. Double blinded, placebo controlled studies don't find this effect. The best evidence we have indicates they are safer than the obesity that full calorie sweeteners cause in most people.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!

Slugs are chosen using AI, but it doesn't work too well, as you mentioned. I will work on iterating the prompt to try and get better results.

A 'remove' option would be a good addition. It would directly remove the element, and not track it as a 'disliked' story.

Since this whole thing is automated, and there's no curation involved beyond embeddings and HN points, it's hard to display it like a traditional newspaper, with proper vertical alignment (since images and blurbs are manually entered to fill the content there).

I think grouping the newspaper into categories is a great idea. I don't think it works with the daily frontpage, since there isn't enough content (just 30 stories on the front page), but it would work quite well in a monthly version. Your categories are very helpful and I will email you about them.

>Just having AI in your product description makes people hate your product

They compare "AI" to "New Technology", and there was a mild preference for the phrase "New Technology". Casting that as "hating" it is a bit of a misrepresentation. Further "AI" as a general term is mysterious and unknown. One of their examples was an "AI-Powered TV"...like, what does that even mean? Or an "AI-powered financial service". They sound terrible.

>As soon as AI is added to anything people immediately start googling how to disable it

Okay? Some people dislike almost everything new or different. Most people don't. If every major company is busy trying to get in front of AI, maybe it isn't quite the big "makes everyone hate it!" thing you imagine it is, no?

We love the pg_moooncake extension (and pg_duckdb used under the hood). Although our approaches are slightly different. Long-term, we want to allow anyone to use BemiDB by using native Postgres logical replication without installing any extensions (many Postgres hosting providers impose their restrictions, upgrading versions might be challenging, OLAP queries may affect OLTP performance if within the same database, etc.)

I know AI is the buzzword du jour, but this is really ML, and really just advanced cybernetic control systems. Deep learning systems have a high enough degree of variety necessary to control short time step nonlinear systems like the plasma in a tokamak.
True, but 'church' is a mosaic of many different types of church. There are churches that are dropping fast, especially liberal ones. There are also a lot of large churches growing at 10%+ annually. I have friends that go to one that is up 50%+ in less than a year and might hit 100%.
It depends...

PDF Chat with Source Highlights
Hey everyone! We just launched an open-source project called Denser Chat. This tool not only provides accurate answers from the chatbot but also highlights the specific passages used to generate each response, adding a layer of transparency to every interaction.

Key Features:
* Extract text and tables straight from PDFs
* Build customized chatbots easily with Denser Retriever
* Chat in a Streamlit app with real-time source highlighting for every response

We hope this can be a valuable addition to your AI development toolkit!
Come on, you know what definition of 'cool' I meant.

When a culture ridicules something it's not the person facing ridicule's fault for doing it less. Not a good faith take at all, and I doubt you would apply that take to other situations. Especially when we are discussing why people stopped doing something.

Having been a young white male ridiculed/joked about, I believe it's rooted in the actual countless jokes/ridicule/and mocking, not some weird white guilt. Again I don't think you would make this argument apologizing for ridicule in other situations. Young people have shown they don't care about arbitrary racial lines people like you want to emplace when it comes to the music, so why dancing?

The only place I was accepted and encourage was at Salsa clubs. I think in huge part because it didn't have the American cultural stigma of 'white boys can't dance', it just had 'let's all friggin dance'.

> We’re supposed to take seriously these people saying that democracy is at risk if we don’t vote, but they’re so apathetic about who wins that they’ll help any Democrat become president who pays them? Mind-boggling. “Blue no matter who,” truly.)

Much of it, of course, is just plain snobbery.

But some of it is that it's often not well used. As you say, it's easy and cheap. But often, it comes at a considerable upcharge, building on the halo glow of the price of truffles.

And part of it is that it stops being interesting when it's everywhere. Many "foodies" seek novelty -- in ingredients, in preparation, in presentation, etc. At one time truffle oil was itself a novelty, but now it's extremely common, and still presented as if it were a culinary achievement.

Truffle oil is hard to combine well with other flavors. It tends to get added to relatively straightforward dishes, literally meat-and-potatoes. So it's an interesting flavor by itself, but you rapidly run the gamut of its uses.

I expect to see it diminish on menus as some other flavor fad takes over. That's great -- it'll still find uses, but not so much that everything tastes the same.
I'm glad you couldn't tell! It's basically tongue in cheek, as the question is silly to begin with.

And of course eggs predate chicken, eggs are seriously old

Back to the tongue in cheek: there is something easily tautological that chickens come from eggs. At some point a non-chicken laid an egg, and the first chicken was born from it. This is true regardless of which mutation one decides is "the" mutation that makes for the "first" chicken.

QED it's the egg

>If AI is so powerful why don’t we see a massive productivity spike around the globe?

We overestimate the short term effects and underestimate the long term effects (Amara's law). We're currently in the trough of disillusionment where people are running around saying that AI failed, was overblown, etc, while people like me are working with corporations to completely change how they operate, to an outrageous efficiency boost. Our world is going to look very different in a decade.

>It may be convenient but more than once just replaced the time I needed to write my code by time fine tuning the prompt because the AI didn’t quite got what I wanted

Most software developers spend very little of their time actually "coding", and most of their time investigating, understanding, comparing, and so on. I have never used AI for "production" code -- I never copy/paste something into my code -- but dozens of times a day I do use it to get rough outlines, investigate libraries and their use, and most importantly to get heuristics on paths to take in the code I do write. It has proven absolutely invaluable to me and I can't imagine not having it as an accelerator now.

We need to be careful here. Because we still want people to sell off potentially productive land. Lets say I buy two lots along a highway with growing traffic because I believe in the next 5-10 years it will be a good spot for a gas station/convenience store.

So now 5 years later the highway is developing and I build out my location. I decide I want to sell the other lot since I'm not going to build on it.

Now, I don't need to sell it. I could hold on to it, it's not that expensive to own. It would be a great spot for a fast food joint or what not. But I don't want to sell it to someone who immediately develops it as a gas station.

The public would benefit from developing the land - new services and more tax revenue. So it's in the public's interest for the owner to sell.

So you want to allow some amount of anti-competitive restrictions. I get not wanting permanent non-removable restriction.
Bill Clinton got elected as president with 43% of the vote. The US system with more than two parties would have the exact same issues.

Here's an election in the SDP split largely from Labour; the result was ultimately the Conservatives gaining 10% more seats when their vote share went down https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_United_Kingdom_general_el...

Both of the last two elections were heavily impacted by Nigel Farage's parties in different ways; gaining very few seats but acting massively to the detriment of Labour in 2019 and even more to the Conservatives in 2024
I split my ballot in a blue state (WA). Voted Harris for president, but mostly R for the other state and local elections. As a result, none of my picks actually won in the last election.

I think there are a lot of voters like me: we only dislike Trump because he is crazy and could lead the economy/world into disaster, we aren't really liberals or progressives per say, we just don't want to be poor.

The sad part is that with Trump being president, far right and left wingers are going to be even more embolden in local and state elections (like in 2016-2020): anyone with moderate opinions is simply going to be called a Trumper (if in a blue area) or a communist (if in a red area) and is going to get trounced solidly. Elections are simply going to be really polarized for the next 4 years, and moderates on both sides are going to lose out.
