I don't see anything in Polymarket's marketing material that suggests it be used for hedging.

They describe it as "profit from your knowledge by betting on future events across various topics" on their own website.

Betfair Exchange can be used to make predictions, too. They call it "implied probability" and it's always been a feature of their product.

My concern is the use of terminology to describe a gambling product as something else entirely.

Is it a prediction market than can be used to gamble?

Or is it a gambling exchange that can be used to make predictions?

ScholarlyArticle: "γ-Ray Driven Aqueous-Phase Methane Conversions into Complex Molecules up to Glycine" (2024) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.202413296 :

> Abstract: γ-Ray is capable of driving an aqueous-phase CH4+H2O+O2 conversion selectively into CH3COOH via ⋅CH3 and ⋅OH radical intermediates, and driving an aqueous-phase CH3COOH+NH3 conversion into NH2CH2COOH via ⋅CH2COOH and ⋅NH2 radical intermediates. Such γ-ray driven aqueous-phase methane conversions probably play an important role in the formation network of complex organic molecules in the universe, and provides a strategy to convert abundant CH4 into value-added products at mild conditions.

> Europeans with adult stable jobs fly Ryanair and Easyjet because this is the best that they can afford on European salaries.

Not really. The difference isn't even that big compared to legacy European airlines these days. Ryanair doesn't do bottom barrel (eg €5) pricing anymore and the legacy airlines also charge for extras now like checked luggage and sometimes even carry on.

I just fly Ryanair when it's convenient due to time and routes. I honestly don't care which airline I'm on. In fact I like Ryanair because I can just buy the foods and comforts I want like priority boarding instead of having to get some pompous frequent flyer card from the legacy airlines.
In my experience 4o is really good at ignoring user-provided corrections and insanely regurgitating the same code (and/or the same problems) over and over again.

That's a bit outdated. NYC and the entire state of California have banned landlords from requiring both last months rent in addition to a security deposit, and the security deposit can be no more than 1 months rent.

I imagine some other cities have done the same.

Where I live, in a desirable Manhattan neighborhood with an old building stock, you can find a decent 1-bedroom for around $3500/mo and move in for a total of $7k. If you hunt for a deal and can make a few sacrifices, you can bring that down to $6k.
I think the author’s tone in the article causes more damage to the cause than good.

Even if you are right, you don’t ever win the hearts and minds of anyone when your argument comes off as entitled or deserving.

The mockery that OP refers to is the direct result of the tone that the author uses. Mocking the other side is how you get mockery back. Then you have to write an article about being mocked.
As someone who hasn't really used either, what's pytorch doing that's so much better?

For Amazon, the apparently have really good tooling to examine what people, at least coders, are doing.

This is from presumably an Amazon employee :

"Amazon has these numbers easily accessible as reports on their code systems runnable at any manager level, and many other ways to inspect what the team is doing and the risks you might have. I find them useful.
Bus factor is one way to think of it. Another is it lets you spot silos, or engineers who aren't working with others, or places where you can't as easily move engineers around (so you can fix that).

Some developers fear fungability, they think that that one system only they know is job security. I see it the other way, I see that as a technical risk, but also a thing that might be keeping a great engineer from working on more important projects. Or the way to work on something else when you get fed up with that one system you hate."

Ask HN: Anybody used Retool for production, user-facing app?
Bootstrapped founder here.

I'm planning to build a SaaS product loosely in the B2B logistics space - it needs to be relatively low cost to build/maintain, look slick and be extensible.

It would be customer facing, meaning each customer would need a login/account (or perhaps many, if a whole team is using our product).

I've looked at Retool and it looks quite epic but it looks like it's designed primarily for internal apps.

Has anybody used, or attempted to use Retool for a production, user-facing app?

Would really appreciate advice, war stories or recommendations.
> Maybe he figured out a model that beats ARC-AGI by 85%?

People have, I think.

One of the published approaches (BARC) uses GPT-4o to generate a lot more training data.

The approach is scaling really well so far [1], and whether you expect linear scaling or exponential one [2], the 85% threshold can be reached, using the "transduction" model alone, after generating under 2 million tasks ($20K in OpenAI credits).

Perhaps for 2025, the organizers will redesign ARC-AGI to be more resistant to this sort of approach, somehow.

[1] https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/arc-prize-2024/discussio...

[2] If you are "throwing darts at a board", you get exponential scaling (the probability of not hitting bullseye at least once reduces exponentially with the number of throws). If you deliberately design your synthetic dataset to be non-redundant, you might get something akin to linear scaling (until you hit perfect accuracy, of course).
Well... kind of.

The music industry in general has a long history of being fractionalized by country and region. The laws and regulations, especially around music publishing, are literally different in almost every country around the globe, with specific PROs and CMOs collecting publishing and performance royalties country by country. You can imagine the inefficiency that creates.

That, combined with a history of distribution through physical, not digital media, creates a system that ends up being a massive web of regional licensing deals, collection webs, and opaque royalty flows that have held over to this day.

It's not a great system.

Multi-backend Keras was great the first time around and it might be a more widely used API today if the TF team hadn't pulled that support and folded Keras into TF. I'm sure they had their reasons but I suspect that decision directly increased the adoption of PyTorch.
"But there is something to be said about atrophy. If you don't use it, you lose it. I wonder if my coding skill will deteriorate in the years to come..."

"You don't want to over-rely on AI because a certain degree of "productive struggle" is essential for learning something deeply."

These two ideas are closely related and really just different aspects of the same basic frailty of the human intellect. Understanding that I think can really inform you about how you might use these tools in work (or life) and where the lines need to be drawn for your own personal circumstance.

I can't say I disagree with anything you said and think you've made an insightful observation.

I'm pondering the down votes. My current theory is they are over this:

> The M4 blows everything away, but isn't a general purpose machine.

Perhaps that upset Apple fans.

My definition of "general purpose machine" is one that I can realistically write software for. I written operating systems (with a custom network and GUI stack) in the past. Doing that requires hardware that isn't locked down, and somewhat less obviously is well documented. As in "Intel Architecture Manual" style documented, or failing that at least open source drivers like the Linux i915 driver. Apple doesn't come close to meeting that criteria.

That's a shame, because their consumer hardware is stellar. If it was open, I would chose it over anything else.
These imputed opinions tend to do a better job than traditional news. On election night, polymarket was ahead of the news channels every step of the way.

Edit: to be clear, I’m referring to polymarket essentially “calling” each swing state well before the networks did. I’m not just referring to the overall outcome.
Is your X feed an unfiltered firehose of utter garbage? Mine isn't. That really only speaks to the fact that the algorithm finds that you are more likely to engage with garbage.
Someone still needs to write drivers, just like the Asahi Linux project.

Personally I don't even start a 'ride' in Zwift for my Z2 rides for this very reason. I stare at the title screen and use my phone (connected via BT from an adjacent room so as not to be tempted to use it) to load the smart trainer. Finally I use fans, but as exhaust to create negative pressure that pulls as much O2 out of the room as possible.

Next week plan is to start riding without bibs or a saddle so as to maximize the anguish.
> I find it frustrating to have to rely on a variety of tools to achieve collaboration: Chat, video chat, digital whiteboard, code sharing. There is so much friction, at least in my workplace, to switch between those tools or to combine them.

Sure, but for many people, in office work still requires all of those things anyway. Many of us don't just work with only with teams or people within the single physical location we currently reside in.

I'm remote now, but i've spent a career on/off remote because my job has always been to work with with global teams and individuals, including customers. I don't know where these people are outside of geographic areas, i've never asked and they've never asked me.

> I'm dreaming of a place where people have to work from the office again. So I can have a Kanban board with paper cards on a board again, for everyone to see, touch, and write on.

I don't see how the two are related. Unless you are in charge I suppose. In most of my physical jobs i've been required to operate with a digital kanban. How I then handle my own breakdown beyond that is on me but doesnt involve others. I don't get to magically just have a physical kanban because that's what I personally want.
When RTO becomes mandatory, working from home also necessarily becomes more difficult in its own right. The lower the percentage of employee hours worked at home, the worse the company is at working with employees who work from home, regardless of their reason.

Not only is applying for an exemption getting harder, being successful even once you have it is going to become darn near impossible.

I think it's safe to say Amazon is openly creating a work environment hostile to people who have disabilities that prevent them from working in an office. If you're one of those, make your plans to get out, and go somewhere that realizes they're lucky to have you. This is only going to get worse, not better.
> Compare your ideas against history’s greatest thinkers

What made these people great thinkers is their minds rather than their writing styles. I'm not sure that chatbots get smarter when you tell them to impersonate someone smart, because in humans, this usually has the reverse effect.

> AI excels at automating tedious, time-consuming tasks like formatting citations

Programs like LaTeX also excel at this kind of work and will probably be more reliable in the long run.
If there is a better predictor than what is implied by the market then someone could make money on it. Hence the odds tend to be pretty accurate (with enough volume) because obvious edges like that tend to go to zero. A good example of that was the last election where people with access to private polls betted heavily and shifted the market one way.
As I mentioned in a sibling comment, your feed is only toxic insofar you are likely to engage with it. I have never seen a single post on my feed of the vein you are describing.

By the way, there is equally ridiculous garbage on the left, if you go looking for it. You are doing the same thing that every partisan media outlet does, the oldest trick in the book: arguing against a strawman. Just because there is some leftist out there who wants to subsidize transgender operations for illegal immigrants or who wants to cancel anyone who assumes your gender, should I generalize that opinion to you and every left-leaning person on HN?

I don't like it either (wish we could discuss them). But it's a special, deliberate perk of YC job posts. From the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html):

-----------------

Can I post a job ad?

[...]

Another kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down and fall steadily. Only one is on the front page at a time. The rest are listed at jobs.

-----------------

What's the relationship between YC and HN?

Y Combinator owns and funds HN. The HN team is editorially independent.

HN gives three features to YC: job ads (see above) and startup launches get placed on the front page, and YC founder names are displayed to other YC alumni in orange.

The math isn't this simple, because immigrants are willing to work jobs domestic people won't, and they're willing to do it for a low wage. Sometimes, even a wage below the federal minimum.

But even past that, what I'm saying isn't "demonstrably false". I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.

Suppose I work for a contractor, and it typically takes a crew of 20 to build a house. I'm being incredibly generous to your argument here, because in the neighborhoods I've seen it's done with 5 people. But suppose 20.

I would only need to be involved in 21 jobs across my career to produce more than I've used. Really, it's even less than that, because homes house multiple people.

To me, that not only seems achievable, that seems obvious.

This is a misunderstanding of the US housing crisis. The problem with housing in the US is that it's an investment, so there's a real cost to Americans when it comes to building affordable housing. That's why nobody would do it - it's bad for the people with capital, and the people with capital matter more. The people with hypothetical future capital don't matter much.

This kind of alert has been raising since long time ago, not present issue. But had not been resolved yet and will not get it. As you know open source programmers do not aim to money and get honor, they, indeed me as well, do it because it is fun. The matter of burning out is not our problem. You can join to every OSS project if you hate to quit developping or fade outing it. This is OSS.
They're curves (one-dimensional), not surfaces. An example of an elliptic curve is y^2 = x^3 + 1. The polynomial P(x,y) = x^3 + 1 - y^2 has degree 3. A surface is a 2 dimensional geometric shape.
It was like this for fireworks in the past too. Used to go to Pennsylvania where it used to be illegal for PA residents to purchase them, they'd check your drivers license when you came in to validate it was from elsewhere and issue a 24hr transport permit to get it out of the state. Naturally the fireworks shops were mostly near state borders.
And, putting it that way, a legal duty not to follow an order that is unethical.

My point is that us Software Engineers have the same duty, in my opinion. If some pointy-haired boss tells us to build something that will cause misery for our users, I think we have an ethical duty to refuse to do it.
When these sorts of things get in the cross-hairs of the government, it's often not so much "laws against" but rather the lack of laws / regulation. We have seen this with Poker, Crypto, Crypto Exchanges, the lost goes on. If you're operating at the edge, you probably need to be working closely with someone to make damn sure the laws are covering your ass. Or that the laws can be created / changed for the new industry. If you're not big enough to do this, then danger ahead.
I'd be very interested to see how they came up with that estimation.

Oh. Huh. Yeah, this is how my internal monologue works. Thoughts can appear in bold font, italics, sizes and colors, etc. I hear my thoughts at the same time; the two blend together as if they're one modality. This has an interesting effect when I'm processing symbols ("'$#{} etc), which have their own monosyllabic "tokens" in my head which don't necessarily sound different from one another at the audio level (they're like little grunts), but are distinct on some level of processing. Helps me read and write code quickly. There's also a sense of motion and direction attached - a semicolon in a sentence can feel like the stream of "ticker tape" is taking a 90° turn and continuing on in that new direction, for example.

I am reminded of the EU push against DRM encumbered music nearly two decades ago.

> Much of the concern over DRM systems has arisen in European countries. Perhaps those unhappy with the current situation should redirect their energies towards persuading the music companies to sell their music DRM-free. For Europeans, two and a half of the big four music companies are located right in their backyard. The largest, Universal, is 100% owned by Vivendi, a French company. EMI is a British company, and Sony BMG is 50% owned by Bertelsmann, a German company. Convincing them to license their music to Apple and others DRM-free will create a truly interoperable music marketplace. Apple will embrace this wholeheartedly.
