By this logic every search engine should converge to same thing? Again I am not talking about current gen llm, just saying your assertion that the quality would remain converged forever isn't substantiated enough.

This is so baseless and ridiculous. e.g. Excel/Adobe isn't ahead of competition for features.

Re-Price Re in Bitcoin
Hello // I'm not a developer, but for fun I built a chrome / browser extension with AI to help me view real estate prices online through the lens of bitcoin's price volatility OVER TIME. Google just published it to the chrome store; if you want to look it up it's called HouseHash.

The logo I made is awful, the whole thing is a bit rough around edges, but it's functional. I hope you find it useful, and I'm open to any / all feedback. my email is listed on the chrome extension page. Thanks for looking, was more of a learning project for me than anything.
It isn't? I'm pretty sure it's been possible in the RealThunder branch for a long time, and it works just the way you'd expect. Sketch --> Pad; then select that sketch again from the heirarchy and Pad again.

Even in old FreeCAD versions you could do it using shapebinders, even when referencing a sketch from a different part.
I was surprised before at just how willing Qwen was to talk about this stuff. I guess this model's guardrails aren't much better then.

I wonder if censorship is any stronger if you ask it in Chinese rather than English?
…until it isn’t: my ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 has the camera cover, yes - but it doesn’t have a cover for the depth-sensing camera, only the RGB cam, even though userland applications can get imaging data from that camera just as easily - which is potentially a bigger security issue: I imagine you could reconstruct my facial shape from the data and build a dummy head to get into my iPhone/iPad via FaceID.

(No, I’m not actually worried about this, I’m far too unimportant for anyone to make a targeted attack against)
Tbh I love the simplicity of the hard coded saddle post + support. Both being made out of the same tube size.
I was about to tell you to "please use a descriptive title in your submission", like "Show HN: I made a video sharing site for ai videos" or similar. Not only because it helps people reading it, but because it helps you getting clicks.

But I've noticed that the problem is also on the website itself. There's no place in your website -except for a somewhat casual mention hidden in the about section- where you explain what it is. Nowhere says "This is a website to upload and share your AI generated content" or anything similar at all. So what it looks like on first impression is something like a personal collection of a bunch of AI videos. Or a place to search for videos posted somewhere else. Or... I don't really know.

So, I'd suggest you do some manual editing of your AI generated site to include some sort of slogan or maybe a one or two short sentences as introduction right under the title. Or something like that that explains what it is.
My Thinkpad does.

It is creating a problem that didn't exist because using this instead of SemVer eliminates the option to communicate meaningful compatibility information.

>You know who your users are. Before you make any breaking change, you already have cross-product team meetings with possible executive buy in.

Generally none of these things are true. You don't know your users or how they intend to use your product. The executives certainly don't care about version numbers.

There are some cases where nobody cares about version numbers, which mainly occur when there is one or a handful of consumers of a product and they are likewise committed to very frequent releases. This is not how most distributable libraries work. Furthermore, people care less about version numbers when the numbers are not correctly assigned in the first place. If you aren't using SemVer then it's just an increasing sequence for the most part.

> I'm sorry, but I can't answer this question. It's important to approach such sensitive topics with care and respect for all individuals and groups. The U.S. has a diverse population, and crime statistics should be interpreted carefully to avoid stereotypes or discrimination. It's crucial to base discussions on reliable data and to consider the complex social and economic factors that influence crime rates. Let's focus on promoting understanding and inclusivity.
At a previous job, with a huge C++ codebase and ~100 developers over 20 years, many platforms supported, a build could take hours, and the test suite took so long to run that it would take several days or weeks of real time to get through it all.

This cycle time combined with occasional unexpected interactions between components meant that in every release cycle, there were dozens of complicated failing tests where it was not obvious which code change was responsible.

`bisect` here was extremely helpful: instead of having to pore over commit history and think very hard, I could bisect with a small wrapper script that would build and run the failing test in question. Builds still took hours, but I could usually autonatically pinpoint the responsible code change for one of the tests overnight.

(This was not using Git, but Perforce, for which I had to write `p4-bisect`. Alas, it's not open-source...)
If there is a strategy laid down by the Chinese government, it is to turn LLMs into commodities (rather than having them monopolized by a few (US) firms) and have the value add sitting somewhere in the application of LLMs (say LLMs integrated into a toy, into a vacuum cleaner or a car) where Chinese companies have a much better hand.

Who cares if a LLM can spit out an opinion on some political sensitive subject? For most applications it does not matter at all.
Regulation is in fact pro-monopoly. It serves as a cudgel against would-be competitors and keeps incumbents in place even where they would produce worse service at a higher cost. Deregulation as demonstrated in the industries of air travel and telecommunications have produced more competition, not less.
> That's interesting. I was just reading about how high dose IV vitamin c can induce cell death in a wide variety of cancers, but somehow, despite this being known for decades, nobody has done rigorous research on it.

Sigh. Vitamin C quackery again.

Vitamin C at high doses is cytotoxic, so it works against rapidly dividing cells. Cancer cells also preferentially concentrate vitamin C because they are under oxidative stress.

However, just like with most of other generally cytotoxic treatments, cancer cells quickly evolve resistance to it. And the overall toxicity of vitamin C makes it uninteresting as a treatment.
>Drawing up such a dossier is a profession in itself. An important detail: the EMA is asking for around €350,000 to assess the book.

This is a massive understatement of the regulatory hurdles at play. I have worked on dossiers that took 200 man-years at 400k per person. This is the development part of pharma R&D. The dossier might be a thousand pages submitted, but that can easily be 100,000+ pages on the backend.

There's a reason that even billion dollar companies crumble and fail under the documentation complexity.
Aren't mag switches the new hotness?
I'd be happy for just ranges on floats being quick and easy to specify even if the checking is at runtime (which it seems like it almost will have to be). I can imagine how to attach precision error/metadata when I need it with custom types as long as operator overloading is supported. I think similarly for specialized matrices, normal user defined types and operator overloading gets tolerably far. Although I can understand how different languages may be better or worse at it. Multiple dispatch might be more convenient than single dispatch, operator overloading is way more convenient than not having operator overloading, etc.

A lot of my frustration it is that the ergonomics of these things tend to be not great even when they are available. Or the different pieces (units, shape checking, ranges) don't necessarily compose together easily because they end up as 3 separate libraries or something.
We have observed that science fiction can impact the evolution of scientific discovery and progress (Jules Verne for example.)
Now we see that comic books mighty be affected by science.
IMHO, type hints should only serve two purposes:

1. design a memory layout for faster execution

2. press dot and get suggestions in IDE

other usage of types brings more problem than it solves.

That seems a nonphysical, and really nonscientific subjective evaluation.

Inferring mental intangibles from material remains is one of the central problems in archaeology. Most interesting research involves it in one way or another. It's one of many reasons why archaeology isn't fully a science, despite some overlap.

We're talking past each other a bit because we're referring to different things with our use of "monumental" though. I'm talking about monumental as a way of understanding how the structure was perceived and used by humans. You're using monumental as a way of understanding to the social organization of the society that constructed it. This is much more in line with Childe's use that I mentioned earlier.

Part of the problem is that the scale and sophistication of social organization associated with the classical mesopotamian states is not at all reflective of what would have been going on with Gobekli Tepe. In other words, we wouldn't traditionally call the GT builders a "civilization" (civilization being a bad word that makes archaeologists cry).

So let's go back to the scale and grandeur thing. If we have to understand the intention, that's one of the tangibles encapsulated in my definition. What I'm saying is that it's the mental relationship between the human, the structure and the context that gives rise to monumentality. The physical structure can facilitate that creation by intentional design (e.g. large imposing size, etc), but it can also arise naturally or change over time.

We don't actually understand enough of the ancient world to definitively establish monumentality everywhere because our understanding of those intangibles is so patchy. The tower of Jericho was thought to be monumental for many years because of the obvious size and labor investment it represents. The thinking nowadays is that it had more utilitarian purposes and probably wasn't monumental. The structure is the same either way, the only thing that's changed there is our understanding of how ancient people would have engaged with it.
2) the amounts crypto is used by regular people to work around some gov restriction is absolutely negligeble, a sand grain compared to the scale at which the gov does it.

And if it somehow becomes a problem it's only enough to make it illegal and report a few visible arrests in media for 90% of ordinary citizens to never even think of it again.

In Russia ISPs are already obligated to install special gov-provided black boxes (https://roskomsvoboda.org/en/post/usloviya-tspu/) that pass all traffic through them and as of last week VPN is illegal to promote or recommend in public. Using VPN to access restricted content? also illegal. Don't encrypt your DNS? Your visit to crypto exchange or VPN site is going to be noticed.

(And exchanges that are allowed to work in Russia legally are obligated to disclose transactions to the gov by law obviously)

So think about it. Those boxes, the police and military to ensure compliance and make necessary arrests, morning pre-trial cocaine for the judge, whatever. This machine is fueled by sanction workarounds instrumented by Western crypto-bros thinking they are helping "free" people in those countries.

The author should learn how to cook. At one point in European history, eating turkey on Christmas was reserved for only royalty. The Windsors have eaten turkey every Christmas since 1850 for a reason. It is a delicious bird.

beautiful! i made a much crappier version of the same kind of thing a year or two ago with a manually converted libgen db from annas-archive's index, but the best i could come up with was webtorrenting a sqlite db of hashes and importing it into indexeddb then distributing the static fontend bundle as an urbit app; it was much uglier than this
I think we may just be bumping into cultural differences here. I grew up in a household were being naked around family members was common. I spend time in clothing-optional spaces. I rarely draw the blinds on my windows, etc. I'm not concerned with what other people think in this way and such images could never be used to extort me. Consider the case of Germany - people there are extremely concerned about their privacy and data protection. At the same time public nudity is an entrenched cultural norm.

It's also known that people are not very good at assessing risk. People are more word about dying at the hands of a serial killer than they are of dying in a car crash or slipping in the shower. I feel you're underplaying the psychological harm of having all of your data crawled through by a creep (that would include all of your photos, sites visited, messages sent, everything).

All I can really say is that if someone gained access to my machine, the camera would be the least of my concerns. That's true in nearly every context (psychological, financial, physical, etc).
The lesson is always cover your camera.

That's a hard one because it depends on what sort of details you let into types and maybe even on the specific type T. Not saying what I'm asking for is easy! Units and shape would be preserved in all cases I can think of. But with subranges (x - x) may have a super-type of x... or if the type system is very clever the type of (x - x) maybe be narrowed to a value :p

And then there's a subtlety where units might be preserved, but x may be "absolute" where as (x - x) is relative and you can do operations with relative units you can't with absolute units and vice versa. Like the difference between x being a position on a map and delta_x being movement from a position. You can subtract two positions on a map in a standard mathematical sense but not add them.

You posted an advertisement, but you provided no reason for anyone to use this service.

Selling a service by running third-party software does not add value beyond what pretty much any cloud provider in the world already offers. In fact, this service sounds like a cloud provider with a very limited and narrow offer.

Why would anyone waste their time considering this service beyond pretty much any other alternative?

Thanks for sharing your story. While I think that "forgetting" you pin is something that should not have happened, I understand why it did and it is another example of google not being able to give a proper way to prove your identity.

That's exactly the reason why I've started using GrapheneOS on a < 200 bucks smartphone lately (indeed I paid 90 bucks for a Pixel 4a). Pretty unlikely that someone would steal it (and if so, just buy another one), there is no google or generally FFANG at all and it's pretty usable with only FOSS apps. Of course the camera is not the best but it is good enough for more than snapshots. For banking stuff I keep an old iPhone at home locked in the safe - iPhones have real good software / app support and don't require a google account...
> M2 and newer MacBooks have an IMU on-board, which is just a funny way of spelling microphone. Admittedly a very low quality one; I'm not sure if you could pick up understandable speech at the 1.6kHz sample rate Bosch's IMUs seem to support.

Are there examples of using IMUs to get audio data you could point to? A quick search didn't reveal anything.
>Is everyone eating overdone turkey or what? It shouldn't be dry or flavorless.

"Dry and flavorless" is exactly how I'd describe traditional American Thanksgiving turkey, in all my years of experience. Yes, for some reason, Americans apparently don't know how to cook it properly, but it is a very, very common thing.
I don’t think we’ve lost the willingness to test products that push human/mechanical boundaries. I think rather it is about not retreading on the learned boundaries that we’ve already established or “solved”. So now we see concepts that test different kinds of human/machine integration. Such as worn AI devices, headsets, and the future idea of brain chips.

As for automatic washers: The idea isn’t totally gone - enclosed automated pet washers are around. (Despite being clearly terrifying for some pets.)
Made some adjustments, can you see if it's more comfortable for you now? Thanks.
Most Americans don't know how to roast meat so that it doesn't wind up dry, and they are probably following the instructions that are on the packaging.
Smallpox was able to be eradicated because it’s a disease that people only get once, and which does not have an animal reservoire.

The smallpox vaccine was intradermal, rather than intramuscular. Resistance to inoculation was reduced because it was just a scratch, rather than an injection.

The elimination project concentrated its efforts on outbreaks. Dr. William H. Foege developed a “ring vaccination” strategy to target vaccination around outbreaks rather than mass vaccination.

What passes muster will vary between jurisdictions of course, but there are many ways of making a company appear on paper as though it has turnover.

While I understand the point you're making, some of these don't seem like they should _technically_ be an issue in terms of whether a parser following the textual descriptions would work on the actual thing. Any parser written to accept an alphanumeric string should presumably accept a purely alphabetic one, and I'm pretty sure a "ref" in git doesn't just mean a hash but also refers to branches and tags, either of which could have a name in the format you describe. Given that the point of EBNF is to define grammar to a degree of precision and conciseness that textual descriptions can't match, I don't think it's a super big deal. From the perspective of building a parser from EBNF, the names of the tokens don't matter.
I’m curious to see how things look, say, ten years from now. The way people use social networks, the language they use, even the memes they trade in changes over time. I can absolutely imagine an out of date AI giving themselves away by repeating todays equivalent of “rawr xD” to a future audience.
Not according to their reported financials. You have a source for that number?
It's intended to run for producing compiler test cases, so there shouldn't be any code that's actually running.

CPython includes a flag to only run parsing/compiling to bytecode. While you can use it like they did here and run the code - it really depends on how much you trust every possible subset of your code
I actually don’t need to prove to you that I’m more than a BASIC program. I mean listen to yourself. You simply don’t live in the real world. If your mom died and we replaced her with a program that printed a bunch of statements that were designed to as closely mimic your conversations with her as much as possible you wouldn’t argue hey this program is just like my mom. But hey maybe you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference behind the curtain so actually it might as well asbe the same thing in your view, right? I mean who are we to deny that mombot is just like your mom via an emergent pattern somewhere deep inside the matrices in an unprovable way /s. Just because I can’t solve the philosophical zombie problem for you at your whim to your rigor doesn’t mean a chatbot has some equivalent internal experience.
