Yes I do have plans for data preprocessing using DuckDB WebAssembly (I have upcoming features secion in this blog: https://kengoa.github.io/software/2024/11/03/small-software....) but this will require SQL which some of the target audience might not be familiar with. I'm thinking of something like visual query builder from metabase.

> With the UI I want to be able to toggle between different strategies quickly - strip characters from a column to treat it as numeric, if less than 2% or 5% of values have a character, fill na with mean, interpret dates in different formats - drop if the date doesn't parse

Those are really good examples and I can make those predefined preproccesing techniques available as toggles in the dataset tab. Thanks for the feedback!
So... A news outlet.
It really depends. For Finland lunch is unpaid unless you are forced to eat at premises. But then you usually have 2 refreshment breaks (10-15min) which are paid...
> does anyone do laundry more often than once a week?

Once you have a nonzero amount of kids, laundry becomes a continuous process will no defined start and end.

> Much more useful if it can do cooking since that's something you do at least once every day.

Thing is, cooking is something a lot of people find deeply rewarding and humanizing (I don't, but I realize I'm an outlier here). Meanwhile, I challenge you to find anyone who thinks doing laundry is a worthwhile use of their limited time on Earth.
So is the age of raising at a 5B valuation on a few month old ai startup with a silly name, that has nothing built, not even a product demo, but just founder name recognition, ending? How much longer before the AI gold rush is over, or even a pop happens, I wonder.
True, and thanks for acknowledging it. I admit I am really tired of cookie-cutter advice lately and sometimes get triggered and call it out in less than a productive tone. Thanks for not reacting to it. :)
I really wouldn't go for a reboot. SG: Origins was kinda bad even. There's a bunch of lore they could build on top of that people love and new viewers could learn to love. They could find all new cast and everything, like Atlantis was for a while and do cameos.

The issue will likely be that the streaming format does not encourage character building the way it was. They'd likely make a really long movie split into seven parts. Which is not Stargate, with it's weekly monsters, overarching plotlines and occasional gags.
I'm very glad to hear this as this is exactly the target audience and the use case I initially thought of! I hope your students find it useful.
Similar but not quite the same is "forward auth" which is supported in Caddy, Nginx and Traefik Proxy and others as well.

With "forward auth", when the server receives a request it first sends the key information about the request to a separate HTTP server - if the response is a 200 then the proxy server continues processing the request, any other response rejects the request.

You can do all sorts of authorization and authentication and some validation (the request body is not typically sent to the forward auth server).

I wrote Checkpoint401 which is a forward auth server desgined specifically for doing the job of handling forward auth requests from proxy servers. Its written in TypeScript/Deno - all you do is write short authorization functions. https://github.com/crowdwave/checkpoint401

One of the good things about forward auth is that it is not a proxy so it is not sitting as a barrier in between client and server shoveling data back and forth - forward auth focuses only on examining the inbound request - this makes things more simple.

Forward auth does not have all the validation and filtering which Dracan seems to have but they solve some similar problems.
Selective Exposure, Selective Perception and Selective Retention Theories
I think I understand the cult part of Excel. And to be honest, Excel is a fantastic tool. I don't think IronCalc can ever replace Excel (a boy can dream though!). But many companies need a spreadsheet of sorts they can embed in their product. Allow me a bit of humour:

> Any sufficiently complicated startup or young company contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of 10% of Excel.

Maybe we can use IronCalc for those cases?
Remember though that AI is a winner takes all space. It will probably be won by a company with lots of cash behind it (like this one which has support from many companies, including OpenAI).
Pokemon TCG Pocket Hub – Open-Source Multilingual Card Game Resource Platform
Hi HN,
I've built an platform for Pokemon TCG Pocket that combines a card simulator with comprehensive game resources in 8 languages. The project uses Next.js 14 with App Router and Server Components for optimal performance.

Key features:
- Interactive card simulator with authentic pack opening mechanics
- Complete card database with detailed information and high-res images
- Meta deck analysis and strategy guides (SS to C tier rankings)
- Full multilingual support (EN, FR, DE, IT, ES, PT, Traditional Chinese, Cantonese)
- Daily updates for meta analysis and card releases

Tech stack:
- Next.js 14 (App Router)
- Server Components
- MDX for content
- i18n implementation
- Responsive design

The platform aims to solve the fragmentation problem in the Pokemon TCG community by providing a unified, multilingual resource hub. All content is regularly updated and maintained across all supported languages.

Live demo: https://pokemontcgpocket.app/

Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for improvement!
Sounds like you are reimplementing Wingman Jr; there are some technical reasons why there is not yet a chrome port -- idk if they are still relevant.

https://github.com/wingman-jr-addon/wingman_jr/issues/2
I do not understand HN's obsession with Markdown. It's fundamentally a poorly specified, ambiguous, very limited format. And no, formalizing a single parsing algorithm for such a format doesn't solve the issues apart from different rendering in different viewer applications.
And I can’t zoom on my phone??
How much of the timing on samples is down to lab availability, though? E.g. my gp wants samples in by 1pm because otherwise they'll got to the lab the following day. If the lab would still process things that came in at the end of the day, I could very much see larger doctors offices sending off samples more than once a day, with the last one coming in after the end of their clinics.

I could see demand spreading out more - though I agree it might be closer to 2 than 4 - if the availability of human labor wasn't an issue.
I think it's their way of telling you to use their app.
Yes, I think universe is one of the most innovative sci-fi ever written in terms of using plausible science to form a plot.

I also appreciated they went into a lot of effort to explain, technically, how each plot element worked. For example they explained the science behind the gates in great detail, the shields, the air system, the stones, the vastness of space between the galaxies, etc.. don’t need to go into more detail it’s kind of spoilers.

By doing it that way they made sure that all the plot twists were simple and obvious in hindsight but difficult to predict beforehand, which was very satisfying.
I'll write some JMeter test (or even simpler way) to check how efficient it is. And return with this information.
> had to rely on tools like Google Sheets or Colab + Pandas for quick cleaning and wrangling before exploring different visualizations.

Yes I had the same experience for analytics work some years ago. As others have pointed out, Visprex only works in a happy path where data is a clean CSV file so will definitely need to work on data cleaning. I have a DuckDB integration planned but not sure if this is easy enough for the target audience. Will try to add some predefinied functionalities, thanks for the feedback!
Day of the Tentacle is also very American, in both style and content. I'm glad I didn't play it as a child because I wouldn't have understood or appreciated it, even though I knew it existed and I played Maniac Mansion. Day of the Tentacle was completely different than what I imagined and much better.
As someone who uses source separation twice a week for mixing purposes the number of other instruments that can produce sounds of "vocal" quality is high. These models all stop functiining well when you have bands where the instruments don't sound typical and aren't played and/or mixed in a way that achieves maximum separation between them — e.g. an electrical guitar with a distorted harmonic hitting the same note as your singer while the drummer plays only shrieking noises on their cymbals and the bass player simulates a punching kick drum on their instrument.

In these situations (experimental music) source separation will produce completely unpredictable results, thst may or may not be useful for musical rebalancing.
If you're offended by the idea of a computer generating output from input you should reconsider that attitude. That's what they're for. This use of AI would be similar to a (poor quality) compiler, but for documentation.
I think decomposition is the word, source separation in this case (misleadingly) referes to the fact that the decomposed notes can be separated into different sources.
At the moment they are a full production ready product, we only have an MVP.

If and when we reach version 1.0 we might be comparable. And you might want to use one or the other. It its difficult to say who the two product will compare in a year from now but probably IronCalc will be lighter, easier to integrate, faster in computations but not so feature full.
Valuable counter-point, thanks. Still their problem though, and they should make it a bit more transparent: "It would cost us extra to implement this, are you OK with a final offer that's yours minus $3k to offset our costs?".
Show HN: Curlent – AI system to do in-depth company research in minutes
Hi HN, I found many people takes so much time to collect and analyze company information for their stock investments. So I try to build AI system to do stock selection and stock research to help them save their time. I try to make Curlent give the most valuable analytics and easiest to consume information by user.

I'm appreciate to share Curlent to you all and waiting for valuable feedback from you.
Because the Linux kernel is incredibly complicated and shouldn't be trusted as a strong security boundary. A simple hypervisor likes has far fewer vulnerabilities so is an easier to trust boundary. They are in very different security tiers.

I would summarize as containers are good for mostly trusted isolation (teams within a company, purchased software) VMs are good for general untrusted software (different tenants in a cloud provider) and separate physical hardware is for scenarios where attacks are likely (military, known malicious code). Of course use cases are very fuzzy, but I wouldn't run fully untrusted code in the same kernel as anything of value.
The irony of you posting this from X, that has been transformed in the last few months on a Right Wing platform, where Trump opposing views, have been shadow banned is funny. Shadow banned by the new Russian style Oligarch of the US.

Not if put into an eccentric orbit designed to have it hover in place. A tundra orbit could keep it in the way for many hours each day. Three sats could probably manage 24/7 coverage.
Why would you think a laundry robot is something people who can't afford comfortable apartment with their own washing machine might use?

I think this might be eventually integrated with washing machine so that you buy one device where you put your dirty clothes in and take out clean and folded. It's not like the traditional washing machine is the expensive part that needs to be kept separate and in current form.
Yes. Anything that shares a kernel is a very weak security boundary as the kernel is complex and vulnerabilities are regularly discovered.

You can almost certainly obtain it privately and still pay far less for healthcare than the Americans, given under the US system they pay more in taxes towards healthcare per capita than most of the rest of the world - including many European countries - and still need private insurance.

In most of Europe you can also still get increased private cover on top of the public cover if you choose and still end up paying a fraction of what the average American pays - you're just always guaranteed a baseline cover.

Is this not what's referred to as an open-data (& open-source) solution?
FOSS is more anarchistic than democratic, I think. Sure, there exist democratic organizations like the Debian Organization, but if you don't agree with their decisions not much binds you to them (that's how projects like Devuan can exist). The same applies to projects with BDFLs as well (altho I do disagree with that form of governance for a project).
If you become truly an expert at something that has sufficient depth, or is sufficiently obscure, or is sufficiently underestimated, I think you will see, that not every aspect has been covered. Sometimes books also convey a personal opinion of the author of how to approach things. Or they are autobiographies. So many reason to write a book. Or some other textform.
A few people were doing Advent of Code at work and I guess I wanted the bragging rights of doing it in the most obscure language possible.

I think if I did something like this again I would do it with an old Advent of Code to remove the competitive pressure. It was fun to start with but it ended up stressing me out quite a bit towards the end (which is not ideal over the Christmas vacation).
It's a matter of cost-effectiveness and slowly increasing evidence.

Probably not economically feasible but I don't think technically impossible given analytics from devices.

And concidering cell signal is likely covered down there and the locations of cell towers are almost certainly mapped they could use some sort of triangulation to generate a pretty reasonable map even without having ever been there.

As I said, I doubt they would put the money into it... Would be a really fun project to build out if you had access to the data though... Maybe don't want to do it because it would make it more common knowledge about how easy it is to track device location even without GPS...

I don't think you would need physical beacons, cell towers or fixed wifi APs[1] will likely be good enough and using some statistics would make removing cases where an AP moved/get renamed / goes down temporarily.

There are actually a number of more-or-less node/graph-based image editors:

# chaiNNer

Fully node-based image processing.

https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

# vkdt

Node-based raw and video editor. Sort of the evolution of darktable, by the original developer.

https://jo.dreggn.org/vkdt/readme.html

# darktable

The graph is strictly linear (single input, single output), but you can change the order of the processing and insert new nodes as you want.

Pretty sure there are some others, but those are the three I can remember right now.

> Rule 4: Start with a learner persona

> Rule 5: Differentiate yourself

Rule 4 should be Rule 1. Comms Rules 101, effectively "read the room." Who is receiving your msg? How do craft your msg for them? Because as the saying goes "It's not what you say, it's what they hear."

In this case, are there ppl who would be interested in my book? Am I willing and able to write that book in the way they need to get what they expect from it?

As for differentiation, focus on Rule 1 (aka the current Rule 4). Write a damn good technical book and *that* will differentiate you. Along the same lines, a crap book will differentiate you are well.

Good comms are simple, clean and direct. If you want to be creative, write poety or fiction.
Thanks for sharing this project, it indeed shares much similarity with what i want to do with it, so i'll have a look. But it should be possible to achieve the same thing on chrome - but it might not be a straight port (my chrome extension can work at hiding images based on the classification i get from the tensorflow mobilenet, but the accuracy is so poor currently it's not worth using)

I work in game dev in Unity and oh boy are they all backwards.

Some years ago they bought the best font rendering tool that a guy had written and incorporated it natively. Of course after that all work on it pretty much stopped and it killed the competitive font rendering market.

The other day I wanted to try and make an app that looks as if its using a native console font and I had to fiddle for 2+ hours to just get it to about 90% of the way there.

My guess is that there are just far fewer of them in North America, both in absolute and relative terms, so they're mostly discussed only on a very high level.

I do also maintain the chance that they just managed to integrate better by luck, so it's mostly their historical tropes that remain. No clue.

There is definitely a prevalent romanticization of other cultures in NA that I feel is a lot less significant elsewhere, so I do see you point too though.

Unless you’re the Supreme Court ruling on a fictitious gay website customer that is.

https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-gay-rights-lgbtq-we...

> About a month after the conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom filed the case in Colorado federal court in 2016, lawyers for the state said it should be dismissed partly because Smith hadn’t been harmed by the state’s anti-discrimination law. Smith — who did not plan to start creating wedding websites until her case was resolved — would first have to get a request from a gay couple and refuse, triggering a possible complaint against her, the state argued.

> Smith’s lawyers maintained that she didn’t have to be punished for violating the law before challenging it. In a February 2017 filing, they revealed that though she did not need a request to pursue the case, she had, in fact, received one. An appendix to the filing included a website request form submitted by Stewart on Sept. 21, 2016, a few days after the lawsuit was filed. It also included a Feb. 1, 2017, affidavit from Smith stating that Stewart’s request had been received.
Keep in mind that this article was originally written in Chinese and published on WeChat, where it presumably proved sufficiently popular that OP decided to translate it into English. So the author isn't just not trolling you, he isn't even writing to you.

All the object-level descriptions of other countries are unlikely to provide you with fresh insight if you're already familiar with them, but you can still learn something from the meta-level implication that this kind of content resonates with a Chinese audience.

I don't actually know much about Russia or its masculine energy, but I can speak to the author's observation that "on weekdays, the streets of Berlin were nearly empty, with few people and few cars," which he interprets as a sign of economic depression. Presumably, in his mind the capital of a major economy should also be an economic center, highly dense, full of people and cars, just like Beijing.

But Berlin violates all these assumptions and would look basically the same during a boom. It's a political center, but economically speaking just an average German city; the population is below the WWII peak, so density is low; public transport is popular and car ownership the lowest in Germany. Berlin definitely isn't Beijing.

(On the meta-meta level, this is also what it looks like when an article about China reaches a large audience on the English-speaking internet. All the actually accurate analysis just isn't entertaining enough to get widely read.)
