It's good students are getting easy access to research papers but government funds going to these nasty opportunistic publishers is sending a very bad message. Deals like this only encourage these publishers that they have support and that they are in a 'legitimate' business.

We ought to be treating this mob like we do with cigarette manufacturers—barely on the side of 'legitimate' and that they're only still there because of historical circumstance.

The money the Indian Government has invested would have been better off spent ensuring that evey paper published in India would be published through its own scientific press. To achieve that it could make publishing in journals published by scumbag publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, etc. unlawful.

Strongly disagree. IME the biggest factor determining how big your project can get before it turns into a mess is your choice of language/framework.

Your whole comment frames MAID as something the gov't does to patients, not something patients choose as a better option than spending 6-12 months in agony with only one possible outcome.

MAID isn't a cost cutting measure. The cost of palliative care for the terminally ill is trivial.

It's not a loud issue in Canada because we've had decades of grappling with this (there's nothing sudden about it: google "Robert Latimer") and come to a humane solution: the near-term terminally ill can choose MAID, and a small number of long-term terminally ill can also choose it.

Without MAID, you'd have the same number of deaths, they'd just be medicated into insensibility for the last few months instead of making a conscious choice about it.

There's a legitimate fear in Canada about the misuse or abuse of MAID, especially amongst the disabled community (again, google "Robert Latimer"). But we've found zero evidence since its introduction of its abuse, of its application as a cost-cutting measure, of it being forced on people.

You shouldn't take the fact that something is working as designed, as sinister.

I've felt since I was young that I'd like to choose when and how I will die. I'm perfectly comfortable with the thought. I'm in my 30s and have a lovely life and family. I'm in no rush to end things. But when I'm old and the scales tip, I'd like to be the one to decide that it's time. I might not ever get there, but I want the option.
Huh. It says the literal opposite:

"Some of the conclusions aren’t surprising. The “most attractive” women receive five times as many messages as the average female does, with 2/3 of all male messages going to the top 1/3 of women. And women tend to favor the most attractive men, though the ratio is less extreme."
My guess is that is what those Fund Managers wants. They only invested in Intel for its dividends.
Fifteen years ago, flying into Vancouver, a local told me charities would give homeless people one-way bus tickets there from colder regions of Canada to prevent winter deaths. No return tickets in spring. Calls into question what we consider "charitable" when the solution is just moving vulnerable people elsewhere.

Worrying parallel: will euthanasia become another "solution" for those who can't afford proper care and treatment? Moving homeless people to warmer cities and offering euthanasia to those who can't afford treatment both avoid fixing the underlying problems.
I spend many hours per week on HN, for many years, and haven't seen even one instance of what you mention.
I've found that trying to describe the strategies in a few words usually gets the other person to think "oh, it can't be that simple" and then not actually try it.

Just like, trying to describe the lifestyle changes that got you in shape (which are always going to be the same 4-5 basic things), is less helpful than telling someone "go to the same coach/book I went to, and give it a try".

But in a nutshell, the book teaches a few simple principles of why kids wake up/cry and how what we (as parents) typically do to console the child actually sends the message that "sleeping in this bed is not safe".

Once you get that, it gives you a 4-day (and 4-nights) routine to follow to get the baby/toddler/infant/child to re-learn that this is a safe place, your parents are around, you can go back to sleep. Doing the full 4 days is a two-person job (my wife and I rented a room at the hotel next door and took turns with one of us sleeping there while the other was with our daughter at home).

We followed everything to the letter ; the first couple of days is timed very precisely and you take notes in a journal as you go, which is how I can tell you that we were already tearing up when our daughter slept in 3-hour chunks the 2nd night, did an almost 8-hour streak on night 3 and pulled a full 11-hour night on night 4.

I'll tell you, the least important part of the whole thing is a short lullaby we came up with as we were going to the 4 days, and I still sing that to my daughter 6 years later as I leave her for the night, as this has become a bit of a talisman for me :-) Definitely not needed anymore but I'll probably sing her this song until she leaves for college or tells me to shut up!
Sometimes the realtime clocks were based on watch movements, ok, I only know of one instance, but it is fascinating. these movements were purpose built as a low power embedded device that does one thing well, drive a seven segment display to show the time. so they had to jump through some wild hoops to get it to play with the rest of the system.

> It always has been, and gen-AI just reveals it.

Yeah, and it doesn't even change it - it just makes it more appealing for news to run with a story. Of course, the focus is on AI/authenticity angle; I'd thought they'd give some space for the plight of brand agency marketers (and cheap labor they subcontract to) being pushed out of their jobs by LLMs, but I guess that would require first explaining to people that it was those marketers who people were having their "relationships" with all along. But that's just too sad and complex to report on; it's more of an op ed stuff anyway.
Hi! It's Exactly like that. Also i don't think this is similar with Raycast. It maybe has similarity in term of shortcut and multiple files opener but i don't think Reycast can handle AutoHotkey task such as auto clicker and screen clicker. Also, KeyTik can assign key on specific device using PID & VID or handle, so i think this is also the difference. I am not very familiar wit Reycast so i can be wrong and it looks like Reycast also want to launch on windows.

Fairly sure the signal to noise level isn't acceptable, unless you are willing to have electrodes permanently implanted in your skull. External BCI is a very basic at the present time.
It's only inevitable if people agree that this is the case.

I think a bunch of people around here used it for tutoring and yoga classes and such. It was meant to be a Patreon. But after a while, they stopped because everyone assumed it was "tutoring" and "yoga classes".

Brand management people, who normally handled this, cost money. Self-service brand management with LLMs costs less money. Building this in as first-party product commoditizes this, costing the vlogger even less, while YouTube gets to keep them in-house and focused on the platform, instead of external services that may be cross-platform.
At this point, I just assume anyone cold emailing me is seeking to extract information around my employer’s technical environment for malicious reasons. The questions they keep asking seem to indicate as much.
The major cost drivers of Canada's single payer health care system are big-ticket tests and interventions: MRIs, surgery, etc. Palliative care is comparatively cheap, especially since it's often done at home with a visiting nurse coming by to inject morphine. There's no significant savings to be found by killing the terminally ill more quickly.

MAID is always a choice by a patient, not an option chosen by the health care system. And according to reports, in 96% of cases it's a really obvious choice: I'm going to die within a year anyway, in great, degenerative agony. I'd rather go of my own choosing while I still can choose, in a relatively painless way.

In the days before global data plans, there was an amazing offline travel companion app called Triposo that was well before its time. One of its best features was to guide you toward nearby places of interest. I remember in ~2012 visiting Paris and being led to a historic but dilapidated building that used to be a notable school, near to where I was staying but not along the walk to the metro station so I never would have seen it otherwise.

It was really one of the most unforgettable travel tech experiences. I was still free to explore at my whim, but it gave some context to what was around me. It wasn't just the over-trafficked tourist highlights, but the whole city. ExploreHere seems like it could have a similar impact.

The Triposo team briefly made a cute app called Walter that was basically a minimalist indication of nearby POIs using the device compass for orientation: https://web.archive.org/web/20170607100433/https://www.tripo...

Ask HN: Why is everything an AI now?
Over the past few years, it feels like every product or service is "powered by AI." From apps that organize your groceries to toothbrushes that analyze your brushing habits, AI seems to be the go-to label for anything remotely techy.

But here's the thing, most of these problems have already been solved (or could be solved) by much simpler programs.

Do we really need AI to suggest what’s next in our to-do list? Often, it’s just a rules-based system or a straightforward algorithm in disguise, but marketing it as AI sounds fancier.

Sure, AI is transformative in industries like healthcare, climate modeling, and finance, but slapping "AI" onto basic solutions feels like a shortcut to attention or consumer intrigue. The line between innovation and overhype is getting blurry.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Are we devaluing AI by overusing it for trivial problems, or is this just part of its integration into mainstream tech?
Why are you jumping to criticize the "government incentives" when the incentives from privatized [0] "insurance" and self pay are much worse?

Privatized "insurance": Here is a list of ten specialists for your newly emerging condition who may or may not still be practicing. When you call each one on the telephone, make sure to double check that they actually take our "plan" regardless of them being on the list we gave you. If you do manage to find one taking new patients, their next appointment will be 6 months out after the two weeks it takes for us to write you a "referral". Or we can call someone who can stop your pain and they will be there tomorrow at 8AM sharp.

Self pay: You can give up your home equity to spend the next several months laying around in agony, or you can pass that money to your (grand)children to make their lives better.

Listerine. When it was marketed as a floor cleaner solution, people didn't care. Then the manufacturer invented the "disease" called "halitosis", and boom, the boring floor cleaner is now a cool, popular mouthwash.
LLM's do "understand" how they're built though, and can plausibly set up a system which will aim to train up a new LLM with the original directive in place. To think of them as human is a mistake but so to is thinking of them as dumb.
Yeah, I think it's fair to be cautious about the topic and keep a close eye on the employment of the MAID process. It's definitely one of those things that warrants a lot of oversight IMO, lest the line between mercy and manslaughter be crossed by too much "suggestion" or "help". Not that I am especially well-versed on the subject - just my overall feeling on it.
What I would do is I would simply open a new company every time the old company is shut down.

Adjusting for equivalent level of activity, people carrying around a lot of extra weight tend to have commensurately more muscle from carrying that extra weight around (try wearing a 40kg weight vest day and night for a few weeks - you too will have to put on muscle just to get through the day).

As Joel Spolsky put it: ”the cost of software is the cost of its coupling”.

More specifically the cost of making changes when “if I change this thing I have to change that thing”. But if there’s no attention paid to coupling, then it’s not just the two things you gave to change, but “if I change this thing I have to change those 40 things”.

So I will second this post, but with a caveat: 'fun' is extremely relative. I was obese, 34 BMI, and did this.

My first fast, the hunger 'spikes' were extremely painful. If 'broken leg' is a 10, the pain would be was a 6 to 9. Intermittently. Around every two hours, for a dozen minutes, from the end of the first day until the end of the second.

I was prepared. A doctor was consulted before, my sister was around, I took the week off, and yes, I entered ketosis 2 days before the fast. Still, it was very difficult.

It did help a ton though, because like my parent say, once you've gone hungry once and managed it fine ( day 3-4-5 were 'normal' to me), your body learn to accept hunger.

I now leave every meal hungry, and it's fine. I went from 34 BMI to 28 in less than two years, without changing anything other than the quantities I ate. The 28 to 25 took 5 years and physical exercise.
When other diceases became endemic though, we went back to normal. Especially since we have already had been over-extending and taking useless procautions and cultivated an unscientific hysteria during their pandemic phase.

That doesn't mean nobody will ever die from it anymore. People die from pnemonia and even common cold too, everyday even.
Adverse selection goes both ways. If PFOF leads to adverse selection against your flow then it's not win-win.

> will euthanasia become another "solution" for those who can't afford proper care and treatment?

This is all but guaranteed to happen to some extent; after all, criminals exist who killed people, so a legalised form of that will be used at least once in the history of Canada. I guess the question is more: will this become more normal than would've been preferable, but in 20 years will just be one of those facts of life? Possibly? Certainly that possibility was the main objection to MAID.
