Show HN: I built an AI tool for judging people. Useful if you are neurodivergent
I have always struggled with gauging and trusting people, especially the ones I newly meet. It's especially hard when I meet them at work. "Should I be funny or be careful with my jokes?" "Should I pass on this guy for the hiring manager?". So I created a tool where based on your everyday thoughts about this person, AI will rate this person's different skills and attributes (that you define).

Perfect neurodivergents like me!
Depends on the jurisdiction where you live.

In many European countries it is legal what you describe. In other European countries you don't even have to own the DVD-Blu-ray, as long as you store the "backup" on a storage medium that you bought in that country (there are pirate-taxes added to storage medium prices that are distributed to copyright holders, kind of legalizing movie and music piracy). One thing though: uploading is considered criminal even in these countries (e.g. the downloading part of torrent is OK, seeding even a byte is a big no-no)

How would “Send a heap of bullets fast” be less dangerous than “send less bullets”? When a bullet gets out of the gun it has a chance to hurt someone (including innocent people). A bullet that remains in the gun hurts no-one…
I hope that the #DeSci movement wlll help with this. ResearchHub is the closest so far in the soce to putting a financially sustainable crowdsourced research ecosystem together, but its early days.
You could do a custom WP plugin that provides a single page with everything they need. It doesn't have to be in the admin section, just a password-protected page. That way you stay with WP (which will likely be supported for many more years) and PHP (which will never, ever die) :)
worble literally did make that comparison. It is possible for comparisons to be made using other rhetorical devices than just saying "I am comparing a to b".
Fascism is a phase under capitalism where ideology breaks down and the people in power are split between going into hiding and panicked power grabs through any means available. Typically it involves ultra-nationalists taking formal political power and increasing the capitalist totalitarian impulse.

The state is much, much more "all-embracing" today than what Mussolini could ever have imagined, and has been for a long time, decades.

Musk wants a more total influence on the world, he doesn't want anyone to be able to say something negative about him, for example. He wants to eradicate large swathes of people, explicitly by making it impossible to talk about them and in practice it will likely boil down to the destruction of their bodies once that fails.

You're obviously sympathetic to this neo-fascist movement. Let's hope you'll manage to leave, because by now it looks like the resistance to it has to get violent.
> Modern cars are just smartphones on wheels at this point, and smartphones are just spying devices at this point.

Exactly. I saw a clip of an elon musk interview where he was asked if tesla would ever build a smartphone. I had to chuckle and think to myself, they already do. It just doesn't fit in your pocket, has wheels and actually tries to kill you physically.
$10M is actually pretty spot on for a net worth that would make me feel "rich".
People care about privacy. But in our current telling its a hard problem to understand and the costs are too high. The costs are not talking to friends, or not driving a car. So as a coping mechanism people will convince themselves they dont care for privacy.

The phenomena you're describing isn't about caring.

You're describing a "trade" in the same way mobsters and conmen do.
> can look like

Yeah, but it ain't. lol.
> Per mile basis is weird in a metro system because of distortions like how a mile in the centre is both slower and far more in demand than a mile at the edges.

What's the problem supposed to be? Passenger-miles automatically take that effect into account. They go down when speed goes down, and up when demand goes up.

> both slower and far more in demand

By the way, it sounds like you think this is something strange about a metro system, but higher demand means lower speed for every form of transportation.

> Basically, per passenger served.

This is a mistake; the guy who crosses the whole city has gotten more value out of the metro system than the guy who goes one stop.

This simplified ecommerce system is ideal for a shop with no variations. A simple shop with no cart and the complicated inventory and upselling/downwelling system.
I enjoyed the article. Never heard of him, despite being Polish. Somewhat reminds me art of Roman Opałka
You can take as many bytes from the output stream as you want, and they should all be indistinguishable from random to someone who can't guess the input. (Similar to how each of the bytes of a SHA-256 hash should appear independently random. I don't think that's a formal design goal in the SHA-2 spec, but in practice we'd be very surprised and worried if that property didn't hold.) But for example in the catastrophic case where someone found a collision in the default 256-bit BLAKE3 output, they would probably be able to construct colliding outputs of unlimited length with little additional effort.

I dunno about "most places". I definitely had to get a boating license, though for some reason the law had an exception for people born before 1978. A cursory search show most states have some sort of legislation regarding it. Many other countries have different legislation based on engine horsepower and age, but it's definitely regulated to some degree most places I've seen. I don't suppose you'd be able to paddle hard enough to cause serious damage
Why is it not a survival advantage? Probably because we didn't work 18 hour days, the extra wakeness would just be used for rest.

Night shifts that anyone can do are still needed if you need tribal watchers, and normal 8hr sleeping people can wake upnand fight when needed.

In terms of the gene, I am suprised how rare it is (90 families?) given I have met someone who needs only 4hr sleep.

Another point is less sleep doesn't mean you can do 2 more hours work a day. That is another vector: how much work per day (physical, mental) can be done.

I would not agree that it's the most plausible theory. It is a hypothesis but what this website is doing is selectively picking there observations to align with their already known conclusion. Because when you start digging into all of this stuff, even from these people, you start to get into very fringe theories beyond just a geopolymer limestone. They talk about melting granite and giant lenses and traveling the world and repeating this over and over. Some truly outlandish stuff.

The more outlandish your claims are the bigger the proof needs to be. The only evidence they provide is that geopolymers are a possibility but that has been a well-known thing for many decades. They are lacking a lot of evidence to show this is really how the pyramids and other ancient structures were made.
I love hardware mysteries.

I mostly drive old 90s enthusiast cars, and I have had my fair share of undocumented switches.

The most surprising to date was in a Nissan Silvia, from 1989. Sometimes it wouldn't crank off the key, given the solution chosen it must have been a wiring issue. Instead of fixing that wiring, the previous owner had directly wired power to the starter via a "missle switch" style switch, and instead of mounting it anywhere remotely useful, it was just spliced into the loom and sat on top of the rocker cover in the engine bay.

So if it wouldn't start, I had to leave the key at "on", hop out of the car, bump that switch and then it would start. Obviously standing in front of a manual car while starting it is the dumbest thing next to wiring your starter to a switch in the engine bay. Fortunately I never ran myself over.

Another one, I will keep short, a 97 Skyline would only light up ready to start 1/4 times. Seemingly randomly, on key bump. Turns out the flash memory for the fuel map had corrupted, and depending on the temperature and a bit of randomness from the sensors, it would only hit a corrupted cell occasionally. It got worse and worse as more of the table corrupted, until it would only start say 1/60 key bumps.

It was a dodgy power wire causing the corruption, and fixing that plus reflashing the tune fixed the issue.
Not sure why sol-ark is getting blamed.

People were buying Chinese inverters meant for the Chinese market off aliexpress on the gray market and shipping them to other countries. Deye decided to crack down on the behavior.

There’s nothing indicating this has anything to do with sol-Ark at this point other than them being the approved distributor of rebranded deye inverters in the US.
You have direct evidence above that the book cover is not a superficial thing. If you don't take this into account, then you're not a serious author.
Personal sad story, but hopefully relevant: during my recent PhD I worked on a problem where I used a Dirichlet Process in my solution. That paper has been bouncing around for the past few years getting rejected from every venue I have submitted it to. My interpretation is that most reviewers (there are exceptions - too few to impact the final voting) don't understand any non-DL theory anymore and are not willing to read up for the sake of a fair review. This is based on their comments, where we have been told that our solution is complex (maybe? - but no one suggests an alternative), exposition is not clear (we have rewritten the paper a few times - we rewrite it based on comments from venue i to submit to venue i+1 - its a wild goose chase), and in one case, someone said the paper is derivative because it uses Blackwell-MacQueen sampling; their evidence? - they skimmed through a paper we had cited that also used the sampling algorithm. This is like saying a paper is derivative because it uses SGD.

I am on the review panel of some conferences too and it is not uncommon to be assigned a paper outside of my comfort zone. That doesn't mean I cut and bail. You set aside time, read up on the area, ask authors questions, and judge accordingly. Unfortunately this doesn't happen most of the time - people seem to be in a rush to finish their review no matter the quality. At this point, we just mechanically keep resubmitting the paper every once a while.

Sorry, end of rant :)

For the afficionados, there's an excellent paper titled "The neurobiological basis of narcolepsy" published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience which examines the relationship between orexin and sleep as it relates to narcolepsy patients: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6492289/

In narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), patients have severely diminished orexin levels. This appears to cause them to inappropriately enter REM sleep.

OP notes that the mutation lowering the sleep requirement causes an increase in orexin. I wonder whether the increased orexin could be inhibiting REM and perhaps facilitating a more restful architecture of sleep. Alternatively, perhaps elevated orexin levels during the day cause wakefulness such that you just don't need as much sleep, regardless of how efficient the sleep is.

It would be interesting to compare sleep tracking data of people with and without this mutation to see if there are significant differences in time spent in different sleep stages.
I guess it depends why they are shooting. Is it to injure or kill as many people in an area, or shoot a particular individual at some considerable distance. I think the GP post is looking at from the perspective of the gun owner? Even from their perspective it may not make sense to modify the weapon. Obviously, not shooting at all and injuring anyone is the best, in general.
Cannot agree more! Mastering React is ridiculously hard for what it is. There are so many “buts,” “it depends,” and subtle differences to navigate, like useEffect vs. useLayoutEffect. But don't forget useEffect is an evil in the first place and so on, and so on.

It feels like a clever proof of concept with a leaky abstraction at its core, one that no amount of effort can truly fix, no matter how much they throw at it. They’re even building their own compiler. A compiler. For something that’s supposed to represent the V in MVC.

As a SPA framework, it’s questionable. But using React to build server-side apps? That’s beyond absurd for me, it’s like Electron for the backend, only worse. And yet, the industry loves to pretend otherwise, so here we are.
Have you considered open sourcing?
Well, it says they want a net worth of $10M, not to necessarily be in the top 1%. By the time they get there it won't be top 1% anymore
This is by far :point_up: the best idea. Everything else, will take you time to implement.
Honestly, not that expensive. Not sure what the problem is. It's like one first class flight from SFO to London. You know people buy those?

And what would I do with 4090? Buy a tower, insert it and SSH into it from my mac to run some model? And it still won't be enough to finetune it. Much more price efficient would be to just rent some 100s in the cloud for training.
They already are for any federal software that you use and are all but required by many regulating bodies in the private sector.
I'm sorry. It's cheaper than first class flight from SFO to London, say.
You and afh1 seem to be reading both the article and my comment as focused on whether it's appropriate to characterize a device that prevents a car from starting as a "kill switch".

I didn't say anything at all about that term in my comment, and while the article says it's hyperbolic, arguing about that term is clearly not the focus of the article.

Just going to quote the whole opener here - it's about the claim that the law enables cops to monitor you and shut down your car, which is clearly false.

[Headline] Posts distort infrastructure law’s rule on impaired driving technology

CLAIM: President Joe Biden signed a bill that will give law enforcement access to a “kill switch” that will be attached to ALL new cars in 2026.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. While the bipartisan infrastructure bill Biden signed last year requires advanced drunk and impaired driving technology to become standard equipment in new cars, experts say that technology doesn’t amount to a “kill switch,” and nothing in the bill gives law enforcement access to those systems.

THE FACTS: In November 2021, Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, ushering into law a $1 trillion bipartisan deal to maintain and upgrade the country’s roads, bridges, ports and more.

One provision in the legislation aims to prevent drunk driving deaths by requiring all new vehicles to soon include “advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology” as “standard equipment.”

However, in the months since the law passed, some social media users have misrepresented the provision online, falsely claiming it will give police access to data collected by the technology or allow the government to shut down cars remotely.

“Joe Biden signed a bill that would give law enforcement access to a ‘kill switch’ that will be attached to ALL new cars in 2026,” read several posts shared widely on Twitter and Facebook.
> I want to buy a version that cost 15% more to make. I don't want to buy a version that cost 3x as much to make (or is priced as if it does).

Well, it just doesn't work that way. Premium components that truly extend product life are multiplicatively more expensive than what you'll find in value engineered products, if not exponentially so. Furthermore, a product that is 15% more expensive than competitors won't sell 15% fewer units, it will sell significantly fewer units, and then your fixed costs will also be higher, on top of the higher BOM costs.

Quality products with measurably longer lifespans in pretty much any product category are significantly more expensive than lower quality equivalents. The entire global manufacturing industry isn't in on some conspiracy.

It depends if you mean the person being shot at or bystanders. I imagine in most scenarios where people are using switches they have little to no firearm training in general and especially not any with switches engaged (it's not like you can use them at the range.) Their shots are probably more dangerous for bystanders and less dangerous for the specific person being targeted when compared to someone shooting a standard pistol that has training or plenty of range time.
> `tail -f | grep` is like `vim | grep` or `rogue | grep`

I think this position is user-hostile.

`vim` and `rogue` are fully user-interactive programs. The same is not true of `tail -f`, which by default appears to users as a stream of lines.

I understand why, at a technical level, `tail -f | grep` doesn't work in the way that's expected here. But it should! At least, when invoked from a user-interactive shell session -- in that context, a "chunk of data" is clearly expected to be a newline-delimited line, not a buffer of some implicitly-defined size.

The only leg up ccp gave is providing the consumer market for solar, and just let all solar players brawl in the market. And the government standards kept going up to force manufacturers improve their products.

The extremely tough competition in Chinese market meant they worked extremely hard. First Solar would not have survived if they are in the same competition in China.

And did the Chinese stole IP from Americans that Americans don't even have? What does it take for people to understand Chinese people are people too, they are just like you, living and breathing human beings. No one is inferior, no one is dumber. People can be as just as capable.

I can also say industrial policy will fail. The primary reason Chinese companies, like solar and EVs, are where they are now is because extreme hard work and competition. The best thing happened to Chinese EV industry is inviting Tesla into the market, and everyone tried to create a more competitive product and leapfrog Tesla. Westerners say Chinese ppl don't like foreign companies and are nationalist is brainwashed by western media. Domestic brands are considered inferior, Tesla hold the prestige. But as companies are coming up with more leapfrogging products they are changing people's perceptions and mindshare. The biggest thing for domestic car companies they seem to successfully transformed Chinese people's perceptions of Chinese brands. People are no longer mindless envy international brands. If you seen how hard they worked, you will appreciate. They make Elon musk's hard work look easy. They won it fair and square. And they are not against just Tesla, in luxury segment, they are against BWM, Mercedes, Porsche. In mainstream, Ford, GM, Toyota. Decades of brand prestige and reputations.

and first solar is definitely being propped up by the US government. Longi's products can be more expensive than first solar's and there is still no reason to choose them. It just a better product
