I built it in 2008, and have rewritten it twice now since them. I have spent quite a bit of time adding new lists. It's definitely a labor of love and I do spend quite a bit of time on it.

I do use Gen AI now to generate genres, descriptions, and to grab other data. Previously years ago i would just scrape it or manually set it.

Amazon has a nice product API with up to date prices.

I am working on bookshop.org integration. I used to also do barnes & noble. The problem is neither of them have APIs to programmatically search for books, so i have to do complicated scraping. example: https://github.com/ssherman/bookshop-search

Just curious. They have Google listed as user. Why would a company like that be interested given that they’ve already any world class db in-house along with the expertise?
At least try to combine your replies into one next time?
This is a good analysis.

About #2 (disincentivize charter education): parents created charter schools because they disagreed on the choices that was made for them in public education. It is very hard to fight this, as 1- they see a huge difference in test results 2- they want to give their children the best chances in life.
Can you clarify what you mean by “leads” here - is this the sort of “we found fifty names and emails that might be interested”, or is it a landing page that collects a email and phone number for when someone enters them?

I am not trying to accuse you of something weird - it’s I hear a lot of lead generation as a basic business need and I never quite understood the real mechanisms - I only get the slightly passive landing site approach or cold calling

Bankruptcy is not a punishment, neither is having to pay damages.

His business wasn't about the exercise of first amendment rights, it was about selling supplements and whatnot.
As mentioned the bomb cyclone in PNW this year, but also the hurricane that started in the Pacific, whittled down to a trop depression in the gulf (crossing all that land inbetween!) and then spun up into a gnarly hurricane that made a beeline for florida (iirc?). I distinctly remember a lack of worry about that storm system until it started spinning and collecting more stuff a few days after it had left land in central america. None of the models that i know of correctly predicted that it would re-spin, and even the latest updated models with planes flying in the storm still couldn't nail the eyepath - it was essentially off by two whole cities up until it actually made landfall, and then they were a lot more accurate about the land track.

i'd never heard of a storm doing that, but i am not really that in to weather, so it's possible it's in the training data somewhere?
The Onion didn't have the cash. It was basically an IOU from one of the families, which is like saying "the very same guy going bankrupt is going to pay us money to buy this business from him" and that makes zero sense. There was also no transparency in the bidding. It should have been a simple auction, to get the maximum amount of money.
My grandfather had Alzheimer's. My grandmother dementia.

My grandfather would, not uncommonly, escape from his care home. He'd be found, miles away, trying to "walk back home" -- and, despite his deterioration, he knew the routes, he was walking the right city streets to get to the right country roads, etc... He wanted to "get home" and make sure his garden was being tended to. Sometimes he'd have shit himself, or pissed himself, but had been walking for hours regardless. That isn't a painless existence. Through what I know of his experience alone, I've understood this to be deeply traumatic.

And my grandmothers experience was something else entirely. I believe I've commented on it here before, but her experience was also uniquely horrific. Bed-ridden, gangrene, do-not-resuscitate orders that were not acknowledged... I am terrified of what they went through.

Personally, I feel that our notions of "pain" don't really get even approximately close to what these patients endure.
Don't be naive. Try to look at everything throught he lens that considers money is speech and corporations are people, and that the flow of wealth always, without exeception, flows from the poorest to the richest, and you will understand why it's a fallacy to think there is any good will involved, or that the ultra-wealthy are going to let you or I, the peasants, fuck up their plans.

I think you are very confused about consciousness, which is nothing more than what an algorithm feels like from the inside. There is nothing mysterious about it.

But we are now way off topic.
If they're using the same strategy they were a year or two ago when I first started hearing about Google AI making progress in this space then I think it's closer to the second thing.

IIRC, they had a model that was built to predict weather 15 minutes into the future and were just recursively running that to get days worth of predictions. If that's still the case then I would assume they have predictions for every 15 minutes. Back when I first read about that they were saying the accuracy started to drop off around the 7-10 day mark though, so not sure if they improved on that or changed their strategy though.

Yep, overall drop in US scores is 18 and whites dropped by 16, so really the majority of the drop is the fact that all students dropped.

I'm not arguing against bankruptcy. I'm saying that bankruptcy is a structured process that is supposed to generate monetary outcomes for everyone. Selling off assets in a non-competitive process is basically a criminal move, especially if you collude with one of the bidders who is also a creditor.

Bankruptcy itself aside, the judgement against Alex Jones here is huge. I haven't looked it up but I'm sure it broke records. The plaintiffs' initial demands of trillions of dollars were absolutely insane. They could have actually gotten more money with a lower judgement that allowed him to pay over time. But clearly restitution is not the objective.

What’s the point of quoting this?
I pay taxes so that education will be available for the kids growing up in my community. Part of that deal is establishing a set of standards which their education must meet and periodically checking to see whether those standards are being met. It's got flaws, but there is at least some oversight over what that money is being spent on--oversight which is directed by elected officials which I get to vote for. You know, taxation + representation... democracy and all that.

If an organization wants that tax money, it should have to do the work for the community that the tax exists to pay for. The most important part of that work is accepting students of all stripes. If a charter school is trying to set up some kind of exclusive k-12 ivy league then they're not doing the work and they therefore shouldn't be paid for it. And even if they aren't being exclusive, they still should only be paid if they submit to the same degree of oversight--something that charter schools don't do.

None of this has any bearing on where the taxpayers decide to send their kids--the tax obligation is not individually about each taxpayer's kids. That's called tuition, pay it separately if you want. Those of us without kids are on the hook for making the system work for everybody, those with kids should be too, regardless of where their kids go.

My wife built https://www.jummbo.ai but she doesn't have an HN account so I'll share for her.

Jummbo takes the "umm" out of prospecting in B2B sales.

It makes it really quick to find and prospect new customers, as it googles them, researches them, and writes custom emails and call scripts that are highly targeted to each of them.

The app is in the $hundreds per month, getting a lot of interest in a niche vertical which is quite promising so a lot of extra features will be added in the new year.

We're always up for feedback on how to make it better so if you set up a trial don't be shy with any suggestions you might have :)
You bring up a fair point. In my mind, Musk has taken so much control over X that it's more of a direct relationship than Tesla or SpaceX would be.

For this filing, IIRC It was reported that Musk instructed X to step in on Jone's request for help. That feels different to me than GM shutting down a project. It feels politically motivated by Musk's personal beliefs then a decision being made on the company's behalf for the benefit of the company.

But I do accept the criticism that it was X that filed, not Musk and I mis-spoke in my original comment

> Rich people aren't endless fountains of capital. They fund things that work, ie, things that sell, ie, things the public likes. Rich people who have some other investment strategy than this go broke.

Rich people fund a certain kind of thing, but that is a subset of the class of all things which could be built. Free universal healthcare is very popular in the US, but rich people aren't building it. They have perverse incentives to build a healthcare system which becomes a good long term investment while using government protection to exclude all competition.

There are things that can be build by collectives of regular people, like libraries, which are conceptually overlapping but also distinct concepts from "things rich people build to sell to regular people." Not all good things are products which are sold to us.

> The US consumer rules the world.

Yes to the detriment and suffering of a sizable portion of the world's population.

> And all this is just academic. Countless poor and middle class families buy cars every day because it's a way better option than living in an urban zone and taking a bus.

Yes, in a world where we vote with our dollars, a car and a bus are going to be the only options for poor and middle class families. But in Japan, China, Spain, France, and countless other places countless poor and middle class families ride bullet trains. How come we didn't vote with our dollars in to bullet trains in the USA?
I got a job working one on one with an autistic teenager. The first month I lived in the woods, but I did have a car to drive to work. A year later I returned to college and lived off student loans for some years. Academia didn't work out, but I made a number of connections with significant mathematicians. A large portion of mathematicians have little coding ability, so I help some amazing people out, learn lots of mathematics and have lots of fun. I just don't make any money, but I'm retired now so it is no longer an issue. I'm now a gentleman of leisure.

I have one of the main websites on tetration at http://tetration.org. Recently I worked on machine language comprehension of mathematics, https://fangornforest.org. I completed a four decade project working with Stephen Wolfram for Mathematica to support fractional iteration https://resources.wolframcloud.com/FunctionRepository/resour....

I now operate as a social activist helping people and non-profit organizations out.

What does it mean when it keeps saying: "making sure violence doesn't happen in the first place"

I mean, is it simply - stop mugging, instead go to CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid and steal from them to get your pocket change.

So expect the muggings and violent killings to continue when those stores are run out completely.

> The Onion didn't have the cash.

Correct, it was given up by the majority creditors in exchange for non-monetary considerations (specifically, the moral victory of having The Onion own Infowars).

> It was basically an IOU from one of the families

This is fine, people are allowed to act against their own financial interests. That's one thing that having ownership means is that you can ruin the thing you own for any or no reason. The court has zero reason to intervene if a majority creditor is giving up their own share of the proceeds for any or no reason.

> There was also no transparency in the bidding. It should have been a simple auction, to get the maximum amount of money.

This is a non-issue, the trustee was given wide latitude to dispose of the assets in any way he deems fit.
Sticking to a keto diet these days is extremely easy, so I’d suggest trying that first before heading to water fasting which requires relatively more care and preparedness.

Just FYI, this goes for all Android users. I believe iPhone has similar capabilities but I have never tried myself.

Your phone likely accepts a physical keyboard. I have a USB-C input, but can use a travel dongle (female USB-C device accepting USB-A) to attach.

I used this a few times to do some very light work when travelling. A good setup is picking up a cheap bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo and using the female input to get both. Many alternatives to this too, e.g. you can also attach a dock to your phone to get all devices your phone has the hardware to accept, and you'd be surprised what it does accept.
PowerSync (https://www.powersync.com/) is also a great alternative, and my preferred choice. SDK's available for React Native, Flutter, JS, Swift, Kotlin etc

I would say that it’s quite disturbing that anti-immigrant bigotry, draped in the most threadbare example of pseudo-intellectualism, is the most upvoted comment in this thread, but this unfortunately seems to be the order of the day. Perhaps as a corollary to this study, someone should do a statistical analysis of what has caused this decline in reasoning ability among tech workers.
I deserved the votes jo-jo-ing up and down, as I didn't manage to put my thoughts down as eloquently as you and it came out a bit harsh.

Probably because of my recent bad experience before summer. I was tech lead at a small 3 dev team (including me). Then we got an EM assigned working full time in the team. Somehow nothing changed, I still did all the technical leadership, contributed code and talked with the stakeholders. While he was just always "busy" going to some meeting, and never could contribute. But those meetings didn't exist before he joined, and no one really knew where his time went or what he did, even had PMs asking me. And upper management expected more output now that we were one engineer more, and I had to explain I hadn't seen him work in weeks.

Of course, this is a singular bad EM, but made me question the role even more. Not the first time I've seen EMs slowly fading, getting away with doing very little except busy work.

No, it's a process that takes also other interests into account.
To me it was eye opening on how skewed is the presentation of these quantum computing number factoring advances.

It is completely in line of the "The Case Against..."
Good points. I just wanted to draw attention to the idea that Turing Machine is just one way of doing "computing". Whatever is proven about Turing Machines is proven about Turing Machines, not about all mechanical devices, like quantum computers, and "light-computers", in general.

I'm wondering is there a universal definition of "computing"? Saying that "Conmputing is what Turing Machines do" somehow seems circular. :-)
I'm not convinced they don't. Ask them what they do when they read. That's all an inner monologue is.
Street car rails probably won't appear from nowhere, but if your tire falls into the gap for the rail, you're very likely to crash.

Seattle has a tiny amount of street car rail, but regularly pays out large damages to people injured by the rails.
I am Asian, born in the US, and it's definitely the wealth aspect. You can only end up here in the US legally as an immigrant from Asia if you've completed some type of advance degree (or are going to do that in the US) or are extremely wealthy.

So the cream of the crop of Asia is competing against everyone of the native born population and you then obviously get this kind of disparity here.

Asians love to talk about how we focus more on education, our culture is better, blah blah. But go back to India or China and you will find lots and lots of people who don't value education and don't have much care for discipline or culture or frankly any sort of society. There's a reason India has had a Trump-like leader for multiple years and it's not because of a focus on education.

The hardest part from my perspective is keeping focus on the fact that you need actual, live customers to keep everything going.

I don't know about others, but I find myself increasingly putting tech aside and riding the ass of the sales teams at smaller tech companies. It's really hard to keep going on a roadmap when you have nothing to validate it against.

As you grow a company, it is very easy to get drawn into the politics of org charts, teams and policies. You do need some of this, but if you are adding middle management layer at 12 employees you might be on a non-ideal path.

Everything always seemed to fall into place automatically when things were going well with the customer pipeline. Pressure from actual, paying customers is the magic trick for a healthy company. Without this, you will invent fake non-problems to solve. This is where virtually all of the drama and bad technology choices come from in my experience.
This makes sense for enterprise use cases, but then the soc manufacturer shouldn't be able to do this as well.. otherwise customers still need to trust the manufacturer.

So I was referring to the case where there exists an entity that has some equivalent of "private keys" that makes it possible to control the TEE/attestation..
"The 500 Year Delta" was about the convergence of technological and social change. That preceded Y2000.

Either things have changed further since Y2K, or we are still watching that play out. No doubt a major source of chaos is ad-driven (quantity of clicks/attention versus quality) media and their consequent, mostly unchecked, overrun by bots.

LLM's are a factor not in that work, and its effects are still playing out.

I believe that the very concept of meaning is being challenged by such "derivative" work. We used to write to create and convey meaning, not just to produce "a reasonable facsimile."

Change is accelerating, challenging our human reasoning and belief/value systems to cope.
From what I've seen, Tesla FSD would fail a driving test here in the EU within the 1st minute. Even the latest and greatest version behaves like a drunk teenager.
Large language models (LLMs) are restricted to reason in the “language space”, where they typically
express the reasoning process with a chain-of-thought (CoT) to solve a complex reasoning problem.
However, we argue that language space may not always be optimal for reasoning. For example, most
word tokens are primarily for textual coherence and not essential for reasoning, while some critical
tokens require complex planning and pose huge challenges to LLMs. To explore the potential of
LLM reasoning in an unrestricted latent space instead of using natural language, we introduce a new
paradigm Coconut (Chain of Continuous Thought). We utilize the last hidden state of the LLM
as a representation of the reasoning state (termed “continuous thought”). Rather than decoding this
into a word token, we feed it back to the LLM as the subsequent input embedding directly in the
continuous space...
