It might kick out 2 or 3 "good idea" trades a year that you could milk, but the real value in this data is getting it quickly into the hands of people who manage sector portfolios.

Say for example a filing happens that a company will be impacted by trade sanctions. You could short the stock as a naive investor and maybe make a few bucks. Someone with sector knowledge will rebalance their portfolio knowing that customer demand for widgets will shift to sprockets which in turn require doodads. AI isn't there yet because it requires a lot of non-public knowledge to really make money off of.

I don't really shoot film for the away-from-the-computer experience. Nobody is going to come over to my apartment to view my photos, and I'm not going to carry them around to show people.

The main reason I shoot film is for higher resolution than digital. I can easily get 100 megapixels from my 4x5 negatives. I have a nice shot of the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn, and you can zoom in on the TIFF and read the road signs on the FDR across the river. I think that's neat. That's what I'm out for.

The value is in scaling this beyond what any individual could do. Yes, the data is public, but building reliable tooling around it, continuously validating the analysis, and expanding coverage across all filings creates far more interesting opportunities than solo trading.

We've already seen how just having basic sentiment and risk analysis has helped our users catch significant changes they would have missed - like subtle shifts in supply chain disclosures that preceded market moves. As we add features like more filing types, earnings call transcripts, and cross-company competitive insights, the system becomes more valuable for everyone.

The best trade isn't always the obvious one.
There is a Markdown spec: https://commonmark.org

I'd agree with you, except if my brain was scanned and uploaded to the cloud, I'd still exist in my original brain. There can't be two originals of something so the cloud version would be a copy of me, since the original me would still be alive, able to talk to the copy of me living in the cloud.
Improving capabilities of AI isn't at odds with expecting an "AI Winter" - just the current drive is more hype than sustainable, provable progress.

We've been through multiple AI Winters, as a new technique is developed, it does increase the capabilities. Just not as much as the hype suggested.

There are all kinds of stories we can come up with to get countries out of economic trouble that's basically fictional to begin with, as long as enough other states agree to believe the new stories. The actual value held by a country is the people, natural resources, and real capital. The money part's just for book-keeping, in the end.
Wasn’t The Prestige about this idea, too?
It's priced in. I guarantee every major hedge fund had a prototype running within hours of GPT API being made public, and they're probably running it on real money right now.
I think that's the wrong perspective on it. People want to compare how an AI does at one thing to how the best people in the world do at that thing.

What you really want to do is compare how good the AI is at that thing compared to the _average person_ at that thing, and I would guess that generative AI outclasses the average human at almost every task that it's even moderately competent at.

People like to point out how it can't pass the bar exam or answer simple math questions or whatever, and how that _proves_ that it's not intelligent or can't use reasoning when _most people_ would also fail at the same tasks.

Almost all the Gen AI models already have super human competency if you judge it across _everything it can do_.
Show HN: Relocate.me – Your Relocation Companion
Hi HN community,

It’s Andrew, the founder of Relocate.me here.

I've already submitted Relocate.me job board 4 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26360779) and got some good feedback from the community.

However, due to massive layoffs, a reduced number of tech hires, and less VC investment in the space, we had crazy turbulence and had to pivot our project.

A job board for developers, it has evolved into the ultimate platform for anyone looking to relocate—whether for work, to start a business, to reunite with family, or more.

Imagine a platform that offers:

- Salary data by country
- Tax guides and up-to-date income tax calculators
- Cost of living and healthcare overviews
- Visa options for workers, digital nomads, and entrepreneurs
- An international job board featuring relocation and remote opportunities
- Curated lists of companies that hire internationally
- A directory of relocation services and companies for a smoother move
- Guides for international job searches and global hiring
- A blog with expat stories, immigration updates, and other useful tips

Starting in January 2025, we’ll host webinars with relocation experts on various topics, mainly visas. Topics include Portugal’s visa options, moving to Canada with a U.S. contract, Germany’s job seeker visa, etc.

Very soon, we'll also offer services through our trusted global partners, including:
- Tax consulting
- Visa assistance
- Residence by investment and international housing searches
- Opening a business abroad
- Adaptation services to help you settle into a new country

For employers and government organizations, we’ll continue offering job posting services to connect them with thousands of global job seekers.

As always, any feedback from the Hacker News community will be greatly appreciated and I hope to see some of you among our users.

On the topic of making a bit more revenue, one of the interesting things about the Museum of Flight is that you can rent its grand gallery/main hall for high budget private events with catering. It's not cheap, but if you're having some kind of grand corporate party or high-budget wedding or something, it's a very unique facility. Their catering contractors can set up tables and chairs all around the empty walking space in the main hall.

The whole point of having a regulatory agency is that you hire full-time experts in the field and rely on them to build a coherent and stable system of rules and enforcement. As one of the regulated parties, this gives you some solid ground to stand on.

If this can all be second-guessed in court, then it becomes more of a crap shoot based on a series of judges’ rapport with the selected experts du jour, who are selected primarily based on the suitability of their opinion, rather than their expertise.

Video ram is still slow if you're accessing it from the CPU! Doing software 3D didn't really let you make use of whatever (limited) acceleration video adapters had at the time, which were mostly aimed at accelerated lines and moving rectangles around (you know, things that are useful if you're Windows). That meant the CPU was having to calculate everything and then push pixels over the bus.

This was why people were willing to use things like the VESA Local Bus, basically an extension of the 486 bus usually used to drive a graphics card and starting at a heady 100MB/sec. Terrible idea (it got faster as your CPU bus got faster, and if your card couldn't deal with that you'd have to underclock your CPU), but until graphics hardware started offering operations that matches what game developers wanted, the number of pixels you could push over that bus per second was genuinely a limiting factor.

PII in the general public's definition is a name, address etc. The confusion in these discussions comes from European regulations defining browsing behaviour as personal data, which makes GDPR applicable to it. Even if that browsing behaviour data is in layman's terms anonymous "and thus not PII" it is considered personal data under EU rules.
Raku is Perl on steroids "basically". It is still pretty slow the last I read something on it. I always enjoyed Perl even as a beginner.
I wouldn't be so quick to put "easy" and "C++" in the same sentence... Also, C and C++ language tools suck, when it comes to making a language compared to anything in Lisp family, for example, or any language that has Lisp-like macros. C wasn't chosen for it's ability to make other languages. It was an easy target. The benefits are the simpler and more malleable runtime that can be made to do all sorts of weird things where C++ would be much harder to deal with.

In other words, if you don't want the language runtime, if you don't want C++ templates, smart pointers, classes, lambdas, exceptions etc. But, you want to be able to manage memory for eg. realtime kind of system... simply removing all the unwanted stuff from C++ is harder than it is with C.

And, if you did want some / all of those features of C++, there are saner languages to have that (and you'd pay for it by having to drag in their runtime and conventions). Before Rust was a thing, I've seen people choose D instead, for example, as a kind of middle ground between the asceticism of C and unnecessary excess of C++.
I don’t really listen to radio while traveling so I’ll take your word for it. In Minnesota we gave The Current, part of MPR family of stations which is pretty good from what I hear (about its status nationally, though always some one will say it “used to be better”). And yeah, that’s ONE station.

Probably another part of it for me is that most of drives are probably considered short, the longest trip is usually 20-30 minutes depending on traffic and that’s only a few times a month.

If I was doing hour long commutes, it’d be podcasts all day.
Lets see how quickly that changes if intel releases cards with massive amounts of ram for a fraction of the cost.

I live in Washington and bats occasionally wander into our cabin. As others have pointed out, there is a difference between pre-exposure (Vaccination) and post-exposure protocols.

The rabies vaccine is given pre-exposure and can be obtained at travel clinics. It's generally only given to people travelling to high-incidence areas or sometimes to those working with wild animals. I believe this is because it's only effective for a year or two. Although, there was one documented non-fatal incidence of human rabies in an individual who had been vaccinated years prior if memory serves.

The rabies post-exposure protocol is much less pleasant. It includes Immunoglobulin against the virus as soon as possible post-exposure. This needs multiple injections just to make up the volume. It's much more expensive and a little unusual, so ER visit. A child-sized dose was 4 simultaneous injections into buttocks and arms. It's followed by vaccination+booster at travel clinic, a couple of weeks apart.

If you are able to preserve the bat without touching it, local authorities can examine it. They will need to decapitate it and examine the brain tissue, so the brain needs to be intact and not frozen to get good tissue. ie. Don't put it in the freezer.

Having said that, bats are super-adorable and I've been able to move them with heavy gloves by placing a tupperware over them, sealing with a piece of paper, and relocating them outside before anybody gets close to them. We just had one borderline experience (no confirmed contact) where we felt it was better to be safe than sorry. Post-exposure protocol is criticial if there was contact with the bat because the stakes are so high.

How sure are you about (1)?

Is there no chance that “thinking” (or your term “grasping”) is not simply an emergent property of certain matter+states? A computer with a machine learning process seems to be able to “grasp” what it is to be tree (as opposed to a cat or a crosswalk).

You seem to be engaging in difficult philosophical concepts and jumping over important steps (like rigorous definitions or showing why something “must be”).
> your consciousness shuts down.

Consciousness not a single isolated process and describing a lull in activity as "shutting down" is incorrect.

> So, each morning is a copy of you wakes up?

Obviously not. Many of these processes also happen in reverse when you are awake. So when I go to sleep I'm tired and in a different mood. When did that "copy" get made exactly?

> Or do you draw a line in the sand and say that is different.

You can easily ask "how much of my conscious state is controlled by my body's chemical state?" If that's a non trivial amount then simply copying and hoisting my memories into a different body is clearly going to have a non trivial impact. To the extent that it's easy to say "that would not be /me/."
It's possible you're underestimating the open source community.

If there's a competing platform that hobbyists can tinker with, the ecosystem can improve quite rapidly, especially when the competing platform is completely closed and hobbyists basically are locked out and have no alternative.
There are so many ifs and buts in this idea of resurrecting the brain that it's laughable, yet "brilliant scientists" make press with it. What about the completely unknown mind-body problem that scientism pretends doesn't really exist but each one of us knows is very real? What if you wake up 500 years later but plugged into a matrix? Who guarantees cryo-maintenance of the frozen brain?
Like I mentioned down below, used to work with the space agency back in the day, and by extension, Boeing. Even late 2000's, early 2010's, Boeing was a dumpster fire. Visited their local offices and the place looked like a hoarder hole. Boxes thrown everywhere, haphazard cabinets just left places, roaming meetings in sparse rooms. Seemed like homeless were camping there rather than a functional company.

The meetings with them felt that way too. Watch the same slides for months and wonder how nobody was moving anywhere with anything actually involving choices. "So, we've got these three alternatives for SLS, and like 10 other nice-to-have engineer pipe dreams." "Right, you'll choose the obvious low cost choice A. Why are we having this meeting again?" Many months later, after endless dithering, surprise, obvious choice using almost no hardware changes is chosen. All engineer nice-to-have pipe dreams are thrown away. There was much rejoicing at the money successfully squandered.

> In Retcon, if a commit move results in a conflict, that doesn't matter; you can keep making changes to your history anyway, and then resolve any remaining conflicts when you're ready.

I didn't realize Retcon could do this from the website, nice!

I wonder how similar your approach is to [jj's approach to conflicts]; whether you reinvented the same way of modelling conflicts in the repo or use a different one. (See also the link to the technical docs from that page)

[jj's approach to conflicts]: https://martinvonz.github.io/jj/latest/conflicts/

[borrowed this idea]: https://blog.gitbutler.com/fearless-rebasing/

So, there are several tools exploring these ideas, but there are interesting differences in (for example) how close to Git each of these approaches stays.

Consciousness has, I'm told, 40 identifiable meanings. Makes it hard to get to grips with it.

For example, I sometimes have direct awareness of the nature of my consciousness changing with tiredness. Sometimes that has been what I can only describe as if my homunculus has switched to autopilot and is now just watching a cinema of my senses.

But that's probably a terrible description if you've never experienced that yourself.
You are charging way too much and offering too little. $29/month to track 15 companies, $89 to track 50, and "Contact sales" for unlimited. The "AI Analysis" you have is too brief and doesn't tell me anything useful as an investor.

Compare this to what https://quartr.com/products/quartr-core is offering for $20/month.

I know how difficult it is to build a tool like this and you've done a decent job. Just doesn't make sense to me to price it like this.

Fair question... with Chevron, the experts in the executive were just presumed to be acting in good faith, particularly in the face of vague legislation.

The bar to overturning those executive rules is now potentially much lower.

Take the ATF's bump stock ban (overturned prior to Chevron being killed, IIRC)...
- Congress has effectively banned machine guns (for normal people to own)
- ATF decides bump stocks make machine guns
- Bump stock owner sues ATF, claiming they overreached
- Courts initially upheld ATF rule (deferring to ATF experts)
- Appeals courts overturned lower court ruling, claiming bump stocks don't meet the definition spelled out by Congress.

As much as I hate it, the appeals court is technically correct. The law passed by Congress was narrowly tailored and bump stocks don't meet that rule.

So, this was a case where Chevron was actually "worse" than "no-Chevron".

But, it's easy enough to imagine the reverse. Congress says "hey EPA, make the air clean!" with little or no guidance on the mechanism they want followed. EPA does its best, but now gets sued by any big industry that wants to pollute. With Chevron in place, implementing that vague law is still possible. Without it, EPA does it's best and often ends up losing to the other side's experts (and very likely the various districts decide differently, leading to inconsistent application of the law across the country, until/unless SCOTUS takes a case).

The simple answer is to require Congress to write detailed laws. But, that's not really possible (given the scope of the government). And exacerbated by the dysfunctional state of affairs we've seen in Congress these last few decades.
