I think LLMs will have something to contribute to AGI but by themselves they ain’t no AGI. Maybe some LLM of concepts and abstract thought would yield more squeeze but some fundamentally new (or old) things need to be added to the mix IMO.
Nice, finally some AI functionality I could actually use.
In C's grammar you would need to wrap the {} as ({}) in order to get into a block expression scope from an argument list.
America is a land of immigrants. To say that the immigrants who got here earlier won’t let the immigrants who try to come later is against US values.

On a practical level, immigration is fundamental to the success of the US economy and is helping the US avoid the inverted pyramid demographic problem faced in many other countries like Japan.

The US economy depends on illegal immigrant labor - who do you think does all the picking in the Central Valley (CA)? But by restricting the path to immigration we exploit that labor since those people have no rights (just a step up from slavery).

I’m against illegal immigration not because I want them gone, like Trump, but because I believe we should allow them to immigrate legally instead of exploiting them.
This probably sounds daft, but I was trying to figure out on the site what platform it ran on.

It doesn't seem to say "in browser" - so I'm wondering if it's Windows or Mac or ...?

Since it is in-browser there's then no detail on what the scope is - where are the spreadsheets stored? How are they shared? Do I host it on my server? Are they stored on your server ? Can I embed it on an existing page? Can I update cells via JavaScript? Or websockets?

And so on.

Some of the above is inferable from the comments here, but not all.

Congratulations on a cool project - but you may want to "set the scene " as it were for prospective users.
> called a women's clinic, made an appointment, and paid for it myself

Planned Parenthood is great for this kind of thing in the US. I don't know what they charge but just checked and at least the one I've gone to in the past has it.
I was at Chegg during its peak. I think there is a cautionary tale here about the danger when a company's culture deludes itself about its product's value statement.

No one internally at Chegg admits that it's cheating software. I remember a slack channel where external criticism from an educator affected by cheating would sometimes be posted, and the consistent reaction was along the lines of "this person clearly doesn't understand what we do lol".

And yet, every single person I have ever talked to about Chegg Study has admitted they used it to cheat. Not a single person has ever said "Chegg helped me learn that material really well."

If Chegg has been more honest with itself about its service -- little more than a shortcut that students were willing to pay -- perhaps it would have used its available resources to establish a position of deeper value before a more efficient shortcut became available.
> If you say "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, we have to clean up our country" then... yeah you're getting pulled into HR.

Trump was just repeating the same thing that many other people heard, a resident at a town council meeting in Springfield, Ohio claimed that some group of migrants there had eaten someone's pets.

Was it true? Who knows? People tend to repeat a lot of things they hear but haven't verified themselves. For example in that same debate, David Muir falsely repeated the lie that crime was down nationally. Do we take David Muir to HR?

That kind of obvious logical inconsistency, coupled with the assumption of moral authority (which for whatever reason seems to be the subtext for so many of these conversations), rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
Yeah it's one of those games that fits the "thinking about grim fandango vs playing grim fandango" memes.

The characters, the writing, and the story are all so incredibly good. I love that game and I actually think about it a lot lol. But those "puzzles" are just inscrutable.

Ask HN: What kind of personal software improved your life?
Adding to the wonderful thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42079768

Wonder what kind of software do you use that has proven to improve your life for the better. Any price range counts.

I'll go first:

- Bitwarden - password manager ($10+ bucks a year and free for basic use) - pretty much a no-brainer

- Google photos - my iCloud gets full so I sync and cleanup my storage by pushing all my photos to store and maintain (approx. $30 a year)

- Apple One (music, arcade, icloud, tv) - shared with my wife, we are not bit on TV but having all of this in one plan is a great value ($25/month)

- Alpha progression - my go to generated workout app, flexible, easy and has all the customization for various equipment. The founders are nice and also giving out free trials and extension ($100/year)

- Macrofactor - my calorie counter with evaluations on my diet plans. This is MyFitness pal on steroids that actually doesn't care about your burn, but takes in facts about your weight and adjusts macros with various goals. Allows for your own recipes etc. I am down -14kg this year before my wedding thanks to this app ($6/month)

- The way - go to for meditation. Most apps are kind of bloated and not clear where to start, where to progress. This app gives you one trail to follow which is straightforward from one of the Zen masters - Henry Shukman (still on free tier, but $100/year thereafter I believe)

- Cursor - I am still a newbie and learning so this has been obviously a great helper in a toolkit. Last night I learned about securing webhooks from Stripe thanks to this tool's suggestion. ($20/month)

- Raycast - love this command bar with various utility functionality. I use it mostly for quick access to my 2FAs, finder, tailwind docs etc. There is a PRO tier with AI addition to get access to all popular models within a really nice interface. I recently went back to ChatGPT due to some extra interface features (search).

- Obsidian - for notes, scribbles, learning and storing articles in MD. (Catalyst supporter $50 one-off)

- ChatGPT - goes without saying

My general gripe is that there are many products offering access to models with a specific feature set. I've been oscillating between ChatGPT and Raycast PRO + AI but find the generic access to just API is not really enough these days. I can just go ahead and talk to Cursor about non-coding stuff as well (provided the limitation is query limits).

The less people vote the better. It signals a lack of confidence in the system as a whole. Trump is going to turn out some center-right administration with his New America PAC cabinet; he positioned himself as anti-establishment but I'm starting to doubt it. Hopefully this election broke the illusion of democratic will for the American public.
You have 10 feeds. You have 2 devices. You hit refresh on one device. You read some articles. You go to your other device. You hit refresh. You see the same articles you’ve already read marked as unread, because this device doesn’t know what you read elsewhere.
> Better than that would be a language that doesn't require / almost compel users (by "almost compel", I mean the user community, obviously, not the language literally, since it is not sentient) to use an IDE in order to use the language, and using which (language) you can still do what you said above, by just using a text editor.

It's ironic that you complain about this because Zig is probably the most "normal editor" friendly programming language for exactly the kind of thing mentioned in the article.

I don't need an IDE to figure out the 12 options to that function and fill them out with the correct defaults. I don't have to hunt through 23 layers of mysterious header files to find the declaration I need to figure everything out. etc.

Just try figuring out a foo(12).bar(14).baz("HELP!").fixme("ARRGH!") construction chain in C++ or Rust without an IDE. Oof.

1) Zig doesn't encourage those and 2) in Zig I can trace the @import() calls and actually run "grep" on things.
I'm writing my book in Markdown files in IntelliJ and pushing it to GitHub. Use the tools you know.

Brilliant observation that never occurred to me. Around that age being allowed to sit with and listen in on adults having normal adult conversations - being one of them - felt special.
For some reason you're willing to drop the context.

He's talking about people coming through the border without being vetted, who are dangerous to the country.

Do you think that people should be able to come into the country freely without any vetting at all?

He was pointing out a specific problem, maybe your imagination turned that into the much more general "all immigrants are bad" when he's never actually said or suggested anything of the kind?
This is probably the closest you can get as an "open source" model.
If you already know the checksum for some huge chunk of the message then you don't need to recompute it to append some data and get a new checksum (at least for CRC). On the read side you would want to have checksums at whatever granularity you want to be able to read but for a larger combined CRC checksum you don't need to ever reread data to append or prepend to it.

Don't know why this (and similar) comments are downvoted; it's like this place is allergic to even discussing the POSSIBILITY of "maybe $COMPANY's business model just kind of sucks and deserves to lose the capitalism game."

Yup! That’s exactly why they initially list every bad outcome before trying to rule it in/out.

For example, you might be tempted to dismiss deaths due to traffic accidents as being obviously unrelated to a drug. However, if there were a lot of them, it would be prudent to check for potential effects on reaction times or judgement.

The C++ ecosystem is too strong.

There are many industries like game dev and audio dev where C++ is not going to be replaced any time soon, even for new projects.

Also plenty of apps that need high performance crossplatform GUI will probably keep relying on QT. Apps like Da Vinci Resolve or Autodesk Maya.

I don't know. My friends and I growing up in Asia played Police Quest I as 8 year olds.

We learned about the Miranda rights, and the PR-24 nightstick. I remember the sobriety test part. We didn't know what a "field sobriety test" was exactly, but we knew it was something to do with drunk drivers. Somehow we managed to finish the game.

I wrote a program in high school for my calculator to balance chemical equations. Ran the idea by my teacher and he said if I could make it myself I could use it. Probably was more work for me in the long run than just studying equation balancing, but I did get it working well and then had access to it for my AP Chem test.

Did some others I don't remember as well, definitely some physics, some trigonometry and other convenience functions for math, etc. I didn't have the cable to plug it into a computer and it was pretty annoying typing it all using the calculator keys, but it was my first experience with programming and I did end up making some stuff that was personally useful for my classes.

I wonder if my old calculator still has all the programs I did in memory too. Not sure if it still works, since it was over ten years ago, but I'm pretty sure I have it in a closet box and saw it when I moved last.
> I'm not sure what your argument is. Your quote includes the phrase "decrease in fertility."

Here, a selection from my earlier comment:

>> A 50% nonviability rate is high, but it's far too low to prevent reproduction.

A decrease in fertility isn't the same thing as a removal of fertility.
Several light aircraft can land autonomously at the closest safe airport. Would be useful for fighter jets, where there is a much higher risk of pilot incapacitation.
What about Chegg's textbook rental business? Is it a significant chunk of their profits? That was what I remembered them for but it seems to be barely a footnote these days.
I vaguely recall some children's book in which the protagonists spent hours and hours poring over their math textbooks and copying all the important things onto hidden cheatsheets, only to realize--to their horror--that they'd actually studied after all.
It takes a lot of time and effort to decide how to best explain something. Thank you, this was a wonderful read!
My first PC was a 486SLC. It ran games such as Strike Commander and Doom extremely poorly. But that was the only 486 we could afford.

A few months after the purchase we figured out we got scammed. That was not a 486. That was a 386 with 1KiB cache.

I never managed to forgive Cyrix after that.
VS Code does not just add imports to your code. I switched away from VSC when I found out the official Python extension (which you basically have to use to get things done) automatically installs things like Python 3 typings—ordinary modules, completely unvetted (e.g., typings for Django are maintained by a random guy who last time I used it had nothing to do with Django core team) and installed from PyPI (which totally did not have an avalanche of packages with embedded malware just recently)—and has no option to disable this.
> Afrikaans that it got wrong but I could understand as a Dutch person who doesn't even speak that language

The one language is basically a derivative of the other. Understanding and judging accuracy of translation are quite different though.

eg for me it’s the reverse - can understand large parts of Dutch due to Afrikaans. Couldn’t tell you if a Dutch sentence is correctly translated or grammatically correct though

Yes, they also fail. I've found the original gpt4 to be the most consistent. One of these days I'll spend the couple of thousands needed to benchmark all the top models and see how they actually perform on a task which can't be gamed.
Zig’s comptime is just code that runs at compile time. Unless we have another term, we must call it control flow
That’s a funny quote, but I’m not sure what the relevance is. Did I make a generalization, or did the author of the article make one?

There’s probably on the order of 10 million scientists, a sizeable chunk of whom could be said to work in biology (including adjacent fields like microbiology, biochem…). The article contains only references to a handful of non-representative outliers… That’s more than a generalization, it’s a total miss.
In many cases lazy "single mothers" let kids use TicTok and SnapChat in lieu of a baby sitter or actually spending time with their own children these days.

The things my kids have seen and knew before 6 years old was 1,000 times worse than anything in Leisure Suit Larry. Our daughter was repeating racial and sexual slurs she learned in the cheap "after-school" shes forced to attend.

American parents or society doesn't care about their kids at all in general (did we ever?) and growing up in this broken society is far more mentally damaging for kids than 20-30 years ago.
> $2.2B/year or ~5% of global trade.

You think global trade amounts to 44 billion dollars per year?

The United States alone has a GDP of 29,000 billion dollars. World GDP for 2023 seems to be estimated at 105,000 billion dollars.

By that estimate, $2.2B / year is 0.000021% of global trade.

@dang, why didn't this show up in https://news.ycombinator.com/show ?

just curious. Thanks.
Two other effective techniques:

1. Read your sentences or paragraphs in reverse order.

(In other words, if you have sentences or paragraphs 1–5, read them in the order 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.)

2. Have Siri read it out loud to you in an accent as you follow along. (I like hearing it in an Indian accent — it makes me pay closer attention.) The app Voice Dream Reader (iOS/macOS) is great for this.

The general principle is to review the writing in an unfamiliar way.
Wonderful article. I never thought I'll be able to understand side-channel attacks so easily.

The article read like a murder mystery where you know who the villain is right in the beginning but you need to find it how they did it!

Marked as favorite.
Great idea - what inspired you to try this?

I'm always inspired when someone (like the author of the Algol 68 compiler you used) decides to make a historically important – but obsolete and generally unavailable – software system usable and available on modern hardware.

YNAB (You Need a Budget) - The only reason I know where every dollar is (without the cognitive overhead that suggests) is because of this tool

keybr.com - Retrained myself to type on an ortholinear ergo keyboard after 20+ years of bad habits and pecking at membrane keyboards. Went from frequent wrist pains and breaks needed, to being able to type for hours on end. I still take breaks, but not because of hand pain anymore. I used keybr.com to help retrain my typing skills in a few weeks

Rectangle - even though the latest macOS has window snapping, it did not for many, many years. I like how configurable this window snapper is, with hotkeys and customizable window sizes. Easily worth the $4 one-time charge

> It’s not like language keeps inventing new logic at a rate we can’t keep with.

Maybe it does. Maybe, to a smart enough model, given its training on human knowledge so far, the next logical thing after "Sure, here's a technically and economically feasible cure for disease X" is in fact such a cure, or at least useful steps towards it.

I'm exaggerating, but I think the idea may hold true. It might be too early to tell one way or another definitively.
Traversing Through Complex Projects
Reading your comment I had no memory of ever playing that game, until I remembered mastering the hock-a-loogie minigame. Thanks (I guess?) for the memory!
Yes I know what the word is being used these days for but it doesn't make sense. Democracy does not inherently have anything to do with these additional (also vague) terms.
I appreciate your concern. I recognize it's not a great situation. However I'm not really sure it's helpful to put it in terms of flags. Maybe I'm missing your point.

I'm not really trying to build a relationship out of guilt. I'm already in this relationship (whether romantic or other doesn't really matter).

Also I don't understand this part:

> There are so many people out there with problems and there are ways you can help people without being their romantic partner if that's what you choose to do.

If you allow me to strawman you for a second, you are saying to cut contact with them and instead volunteer with a non-profit organization? I feel like I must have misunderstood you, so please correct me.

For what it's worth, they do support my needs as well. No complaints there. They are actually amazingly considerate and supportive given their situation.
Look at this guy! He can't even moonwalk on the J axis
Sometimes the report is unfair. Sometimes the complainer is unreasonable. Sometimes the report is just wrong. All this might be true, but the following rules still apply.

Assume the customer is reporting in good faith. They just have to problem they want solved, and they hoped your product would solve it.

Be respectful. Even if it's their nth complaint. Even if they're a free user. Even if you are frustrated.

Don't get into a discussion about opinionated things. Thank people when they offer an opinion that is different to yours. Feel free to explain the reasoning behind your position once.

Try and understand the root cause of the issue, not just the symptoms. The root cause might be information in your docs, or on your web site. Or a bug. Fixing the issue makes the problem go away forever (or turns the answer into a link)

I recommend adopting the same approach regardless of forum. You may consider email to be "private" but treat it as "public".

B2C is also different to B2B. In the B2B case, when the issue is IT related get their IT department involved.

Lots of people like to complain about the business model. This should cost less, or be free. That's OK, they're not your customers. (Free users are not customers, just users, and your question specified customers, so I'll ignore Free users for now.)

If the issue is your fault, admit it, don't deflect. Work to fix it. Let the customer know it's been fixed.

Above all understand that customer support is your job. Your job is not programming. Your job is not writing code. Your job is making customers happy. A day spent doing good support is a good day.

(Writing code is just how we get customers. Incidentally subscription models better align with better support which in turn means a better product, which is why it generally applies for most successful businesses. )
