How do you intend to handle uninvested cash? The big non-Vanguard players (Schwab, Fidelity) make up for their low nominal fund fees via Net Interest Margin on uninvested cash. Do you intend to offer market-rate interest on cash (e.g. $VMFXX), or take a significant cut there?
https://achromatic.dev - Next.js SaaS starter kit that is not crap. That's it in a nutshell haha

It become the #3 selling one (after Shipfast and Makerkit) in under 3 month.

I know the website itself is not the most descriptive, but I do prio feature and customer requests over website/marketing. Soon the starter kit will also have multi-organization support :)

2025 is gonna be interesting since I plan to add multiple boilerplates to the same package deal. Realized I'm not a business that needs to be greedy and grow, just helping others is enough.

I am not sure you want to include international markets (if not the technology) but it seems like Baidu in China is nearly at par with Waymo:

Ad hominems aside, it's easy to cheerlead Waymo since they stand alone as the nation's only commercial robotaxi service. They're expanding, their track record is exceptional, and having used them a handful of times they definitely leave an impression.
And if that doesn't come up, mention that your favorite movie is My Cousin Vinny.
I’ve build a similar setup recently. My partner even got excited thinking I’d finally start growing only to be disappointed when I explained what I was doing.
“But that's minor!”: minor maybe, but that’s an issue. Yes, both the central and corner symbols (“pips”, as they are called) are almost the same size.

It’s even worse with the court cards (aka “picture cards”: jack, queen, king). Out of laziness and for space-saving, they all share the same design: their suit symbol, in big, in the center (and the two corner pips). Not easy to distinguish between them easily/quickly, especially if your sight isn’t good.

I should do something about all that, one of these days. Thank you for your feedback!

I could see why'd you say that, but I think it's a case of hate the game, not the player. We have crafted a society that has a dearth of compassion and companionship, that's the unfortunate reality.

There are lots of sad, lonely guys out there and that's not GaryNumanVevo's fault, he's just catering to them.

Most of the debate over interpretations boils down to the mind projection fallacy. For each of us one interpretation is so clearly easier to think about, and everyone else must be bonkers for thinking otherwise. In reality one makes sense to me, the other makes sense to you. That’s fine.

True, but even that's just at the surface level. When you dig into the architecture / planning / business strategy that happens in Detroit, it's even worse than what the UI suggests.

"Creative destruction" is coming for them real soon.
You're ignoring a litany of intentional efforts by powerful people to keep the system as broken as possible so that they can take advantage of it. Things didn't just get this bad on their own; this is the result of decades of strategizing, billions of dollars in lobbying, and intentional efforts to profit off of the sickness and death of others. It's not like there's a lack of responsibility to go around.

> We could all end this right now by just destroying AI, if only we were more logical and united like the Amish.

End what, though? My big problem with these grand proclaimations is that AI hasn't done jack shit. It hasn't displaced workers, it hasn't created sources of accountability when things go wrong, and it hasn't created real value. The assumption that a glorified autocorrect can replace all thought work is stupid from the start, and it's not getting any more credible as time goes by.

The real triumph of AI was it's marketing; Sam Altman and friends really made everyone believe AI was a world changing technology just because he gave the world free AI. It's like the Library of Babel as applied to real life - what kind of demented moron would spend their lives hitting "Retry" on ChatGPT when they could use their brain and just solve the problem?
If ChatGPT increasingly gets better at coding, why don't they deliver official plugins for the main IDEs in the way Github Copilot does?

Is this because Github mostly uses OpenAI models under the hood anyway?
Probably because they are too polite to call you ginger.

> How does AI attend meetings, ask questions of local officials or bodies, provide in-person reports and original fact based copy?

Streams? The AI summaries of YT videos are already pretty good. And asking questions is probably easy enough as well, assuming the meeting is using a platform that allows for questions to be asked. Text-to-speech can be used on platforms like Zoom or even a simple phone call.
TLH is sort of a synthetic loss. You just sell and buy essentially equivalent funds to realize an unrealized but existing loss, lowering your cost basis. The amount of stock you own doesn't change at the TLH event. You get a (small) deduction against your taxable income at the cost of more capital gains in the (maybe distant, lower tax bracket) future.
In this case it's the specific irony of not being able to afford healthcare unless separated from society.
Thanks for the links to the data. I wanted to see if they broke it out by state, but I don't think they did.

I did notice many of the top countries have this fun footnote, "National Defined Population covers less than 90 percent of National Target Population (but at least 74 percent)". Which probably translates to they didn't measure the worst performing kids which likely gooses the numbers pretty decently...

The U.S. has this one, "Met guidelines for sample participation rates only after replacement schools were included." Which means some schools declined to participate so they had to ask others.
Why would any game publisher relinquish the insanely high profit margin DLC/skins they sell to an outside third party? It makes zero sense, they can just use a SQL database and keep all of the profits.

In short, publishers aren’t going to give the crazy margins they make on digital in-game items to a third party NFT blockchain, they’d be insane to do so.

> Your tone is horrid.

> I am having a discussion with GP, and while GP and I may disagree, we are still maintaining a civil tone with each other.

> This has been a common behavior of yours. If there was block functionality or reporting functionality on HN, I would have done it in a heartbeat.

> As I have told you before, stop replying to me. We do not agree and we have had heated conversations at multiple occasions.

Your original post pre-edit had self-censored profanity. Your desire to not receive replies from a specific user seems entirely hostile to the HN guidelines and its assumption of continually exercising good faith, especially if you feel that replies to you lack it. If you have a problem with a user, notify HN mods directly. I don't see how you expect others to keep track of when you decree that they aren't worthy of your replies, or why you would subject the rest of HN to the degradation of public debate that such a block feature would result in on HN, but respectful replies should be the norm and the goal all the same in either case.

If you don't want to engage someone in conversation or debate, then don't reply to them. To seek to preemptively forestall debate before it even begins via blocking a two-way dialogue is contrary to entering into such debate by making your own first post to begin with. If the only winning move is not to play, why insist on having the first and/or last move/word?
I have a preschooler, it's been observed by the local preschools that kids need OT and other interventions at substantially higher rates in the covid cohort than in the non-covid cohort. We are likely to see an ongoing wave of kids experiencing some disruption due to the covid period.
Who gets to pick and choose the kids' specialization ?

I don't agree with the premise (that early specialization is good), but setting that aside deciding what a 4th grader should focus on for the rest of their life feels like an impossible task.

You can't account for whether they'll like the more advanced subjects (i.e. they like 4th grade literature class but will bail at languistic analysis) and have no idea how they'll change even 3 years later as they hit puberty.

And this ‘mass shooting’ list also includes injuries NOT caused by shooting. What’s the point of that?

“ A man was killed and three women were injured when they fired upon in a vehicle on eastbound Roosevelt Road near Cicero Avenue in Cicero. The victims fled north onto Cicero Avenue into Chicago where they crashed, leading to three others being injured in the crash.[16]”

^ Who would call this a mass shooting?
I don't really get what you're saying.

The US is a large place, and the fact that great highschools exist doesn't tell us anything about the distribution of highschool quality, except for that one fact.
I'm impressed with Devin's capabilities. Its good at building standard web applications and implementing common patterns. I is particularly effective for enterprises needing basic web pages or solutions that follow established development patterns.

While Devin handles routine development tasks well, it still requires oversight and guidance when dealing with complex integrations or custom business logic. It was helpful in reducing the time spent on boilerplate code and basic setup tasks.
Visualizing the nth derivative using an osculating curve
I think the opposite is true. There is large gap between educational outcomes of white and black Americans even if you match them on SES, and every successive GWAS increases the amount of variance in outcomes explained by variants, despite the input data only allowing for extremely crude metrics like years of completed education instead of actual test scores.
I think a lot of racists (or race realists, depending on your perspective) are today a lot more concerned about the influx of southern natives than about the blacks. The black proportion of the population has been steady for a long, long time. The disparities there are a big issue, and people on all sides are concerned about it for different reasons, but I wouldn’t be surprised if GP is actually referencing immigrants in this case.
Bizarrely, Germans call themselves Deutsche and the Dutch call themselves all sorts of crazy things. Swiss, Spanish, oh the whole of Europe.

Non-fungible tokens are not even necessarily digital. They are merely tokens[0] that are not fungible[1], as the name suggests. Digital non-fungible tokens are stored in a digital database, of which blockchain is one kind.

> Who else is even close to being able to provide it?

Baidu/Apollo, maybe. There are deployed robo-taxis in China. Reviews of driving quality indicate "meh", they are sometimes directly teleoperated to get out of problems, and difficult intersections have fixed cameras the cars can see through.
There isn't one, because there is no blockchain. You already know that so why comment this?
100% that.

> Large media companies have swooped in and gobbled up pretty much every major newspaper, local tv news, and local radio news.

I think the main issue is related to the funding of those projects. As a non-American but former resident of San Francisco, I would like to see more things like [1] (regardless of the political side) for local politics.

It's a pity that the national news is pushed so hard that local councils and mayors can do almost everything without any pushback, even being the kind of politics that has a direct and immediate effect on most normal people.

Yeah the robotaxi is a pipe dream grift. Humans are gross and nasty, I think some of these people need to do a ride along in a cab sometime in the winter in a busy poorly marked city on a Friday or Saturday night. Pray tell how the robot kicks passengers out or navigates the inevitable unexpected weather/human activity.
> Not sure why you jumped there.

No jump.

Your original claim: "Submit a whole script the way a writer delivers a movie to a director. The (automated) director/DP/editor could maintain internal visual coherence, while the script drives the story coherence."

Two comments later it's this: "We can already get detailed style guidance into picture generation. Declaring you want Picasso cubist, Warner brothers cartoon, or hyper realistic works today. So does lighting instructions, color palettes, on and on."

I just re-wrote this with respect to movies.

> I was thinking more like ‘make it look like Bladerunner if Kurosawa directed it, with a score like Zimmer.’

Because, as we all know, every single movie by Kurosawa is the same, as is every single score by Hans Zimmer, so it's ridiculously easy to recreate any movie in that style, with that music.

> You’re really failing to let go of the idea that you need to prescribe every little thing. Like Midjourney today, you’ll be able to give general guidance.

Yes, and Midjounrey today really sucks at:

- being consistent

- creating proper consistent details

A general prompt will give you a general result that is usually very far from what you actually have in mind.

And yes, you will have to prescribe a lot of small things if you want your movie to be consistent. And for your movie to make any sense.

Again, tell me how exactly your amazing magical AI director will know which wardrobe to chose, which camera angles to setup, which typography to use, which sound effects to make just from the script you hand in?

you can start ,with a very simple scene I referenced in my original reply: two people talking at the table in Whiplash.

> But paint by numbers stuff like many movies already are? A Hallmark Channel weepy? I bet we will.

Even those movies have more details and more care than you can get out of AIs (now, or in foreseeable future)
I don't know what to tell you, you seem to be taking a black-or-white approach here of extremes. Like anything that isn't limited to exactly one way of expressing it is a slippery slope to YAML. It's not.

JSON5 is literally exactly JavaScript notation, which tons of people are familiar with. On the other hand, I don't know any programming languages that use strings without quotes or delimiters. (And of course, their existing in YAML is widely recognized as a major source of confusion.)

And in your example, there isn't parsing ambiguity but there would be change ambiguity when you alter abc (without quotes) to 123, because it changes its type.

I'm not aware of any change-ambiguity situations in JavaScript/JSON5 like that? In Python 5 and 5. are different types, but not in JavaScript or JSON.
I just ordered by first 3D printer, I'm not normally sensitive to air quality issues, but my partner is, so I spent some time doing some research on the issue.

It's amazing how many people believe "if you can't smell it, there's no problem" and quite incorrectly assume that things like PLA won't hurt them. Surely minimal exposure is fine, but 3d printers run over many hour periods and those VOCs can build up.

I decided to be safe and bought a basic fabric enclosure with an exhaust fan that vents to the outdoors. It's probably not perfect, but maintaining negative pressure inside the enclosure should remove most particulates. I wouldnt handle bromine in it.

I'm worried about all the folks running print farms in their house with minimal ventilation.
A more plausible interpretation is that the education system is failing immigrant families currently. This has the benefit of both matching the evidence and not having racist implications.

Building https://canine.sh, which is a platform to make any Kubernetes cluster as easy to use as Heroku for deploying web apps, cron jobs, etc.

The >$500 is basically by offering it for free to everyone and having support to 3 small corporate customers.

I found this is a really great way to get feedback and bootstrap the roadmap of a project. Little usability / quality of life features, that I never would've worked on myself, turned out to be sizable pain points for others.

And since they're paying at least something for it, the few beta customers are a lot more committed to making the thing work.

Thanksgiving last year, after GPT-4 was released, I realized large language models were finally good enough to bring my idea to life: an AI book generator. Over the holiday weekend, I built the prototype for https://instabooks.ai, to allow anyone to instantly generate 200+ page books on any topic. I sell them in pdf, epub and print form and they take about 30 minutes to complete.

Since launch, over 10,000 books have been generated on topics ranging from niche hobbies to advanced research. The system runs almost entirely on its own, requiring only occasional updates and customer support. The best part of it: as new LLM models come out, the books get better written as well, so each year it improves without much effort on my end.
I appreciate the feedback. To be honest, fixing code that doesn't work from an LLM is usually pretty easy. I'm not interested in adopting many SRE skills or CI/CD techniques since a lot of that is not a differentiated skill for product managers. I imagine that a lot of service operations tasks will be be supported by automated tools so it becomes less valuable over time anyway.
