I haven't seen any proof that it's a basic feature of bank accounts.

Some specific services (checkbooks, embossed and offline-chip cards, visa/mc acquiring) can require a credit-worthy account, but these services can be denied without denying the account itself.
You can't make a bank account where there is no possible chance a transaction can be reversed. That's what you're asking for.

(Crypto doesn't do this. You can be taken to court and they don't care that it's decentralized and immutable and all that. That's much of the point of his writing.)
All true in general, but allow me to add that there has been work on incorporating probabilistic / "soft" reasoning into the Semantic Web / RDF / OWL world. For some time now there has been PR-OWL (Probabilistic OWL)[1], and the recent work on RDF* (RDF-STAR)[2][3] emphasizes its application in terms of being able to - among other things - do stuff like adding weights (confidence scores, fuzzy probabilities, what-have-you) to RDF assertions. So the need to pursue these paths is understood, although I suppose one can argue that progress has been slow and painstaking.

this is perverse, you understand they make a point about how easy it would be to not buy the cereal and they're right, a child does just HAVE to eat what you give them.

That children are a part of the decision making process is the failure.

The advertising works on the child, and ultimately the child (and the advert...directly to some extent but largely through the child) induces the parent to obtain the product.

Yes. The lack of diffuse reflection from the pink train is the clearest giveaway, and AI videos in general have problems with getting shadows and radiosity right. There's also the existence of the real-world Hello Kitty Shinkansen and the APM Cat Bus in Japan that makes this image more plausible.
nice one, what differentiates it from many other tools like https://x.com/yapthread or https://x.com/SupermemoryAI is the scheduled delivery part. i wish to remain on the same track , add some one capabilities like RAG for QnA with the notes / bookmarks created and show maybe reference sources.
He's a kid from Bangladesh who is studying and isn't even in uni yet. He's mentioned on reddit that his parents are doing the classical asian parent thing of pushing him to become a doctor or engineer and right now he's busy studying for the medical entry exam. If he doesn't get through that he might consider a computer science thing. So basically the whole neovim plugin is a side quest at the moment.

Always boggles my mind how raw talent, dedication, and integrity can all come together and just by pure chance of life, you can just miss out on a world of opportunity where people with far less dedication end up with so much more. Hope that this little moment on the internet actually results in a bigger opportunity for him eventually.
So, we went from "just hand off movie script to automated director/DP/editor" we're now rapidly approaching:

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on lighting

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on props

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on clothing

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on camera position and movement

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on blocking

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on editing

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on music

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on sound effects

- you have to provide correct detailed instructions on...

- ...

- repeat that for literally every single scene in the movie (up to 200 in extreme cases)

There's a reason I provided a few links for you to look at. I highly recommend the talk by Annie Atkins. Watch it, then open any movie script, and try to find any of the things she is talking about there (you can find actual movie scripts here: https://imsdb.com)

Show HN: Built a macOS menubar app to track salary in real-time, now on the web
Had this idea with a friend while chatting about staying motivated during long workdays. We built a macOS app that tracks your salary in real time in your menubar. It’s been a fun way to stay motivated by seeing those dollars tick up throughout the day.

Recently, we decided to make a web version so it’s accessible on other platforms or for people who prefer a browser-based option.

The macOS app has a feature where you can set a milestone (e.g., $50 earned) and get a fun animation when you hit it. We didn’t bring that to the web version, just stuck to the title bar updating for simplicity.

If this makes you a tiny bit smile, we’d love to hear about it!

My position is that banks (which are not "private companies" as normally understood, but heavily regulated entities whose status already involves a complex bundle of special rights and special obligations) should be obliged to provide basic banking to any legally operating individual or business, just as they are already obliged to offer various services that they probably would not if they had a free choice.

If they are unable to figure out a way to provide basic banking without extending credit in the way patio11 describes then this will of course be extremely costly for them, but I suspect they would figure out a way to not have to extend credit rather quickly (hint: look at what banks in virtually any other country do) if they actually tried. If not - i.e. if the current price of banking is only sustainable when banks are permitted to arbitrarily refuse service - then I guess prices will have to rise to something similar to what they are in countries where banks already have those kind of service obligations. Again, that doesn't sound like such a terrible fate.

My interest is a little more like flipping that around the other way. Take output from the LLM, get it into structured assertion form, and then use those assertions as part of a query / inference process which pulls in other "known good" (or "ground truth" if you will) assertions from sources like DBPedia or Wikidata. The idea being to either verify the LLM output, or possibly to extend it using inferred conclusions.

I think the way I think about it is somewhat akin to what AWS are doing here, where they talk about using automated reasoning to reduce hallucinations from LLM's:

MOND is a theory that try to explain the 'dark matter problem' we have with our current theories. It is in that sense a dark matter theory, one that doesn't use matter as an explanation, like entropic gravity, negative mass or f(R) gravity.

And dark matter is an area of research and experiment in particle physics (at least it was 10 years ago)

I don't think it's a "basic" feature. I suspect it's one of those things that, like the ACH upgrade mentioned in the article, would be changed swiftly if the relevant parties were sufficiently motivated.
Whenever I want to put something down, I open the browser on my phone, type in the address bar, then hit <CR>. Later I synch them along with the other tabs when I have access to the desktop. This routine developed totally unintentionally and has been somehow more productive than all the fancy notetaking apps I'd used. Maybe it's something about the claustrophobically tiny input slot that makes me want to widen it as much as possible. Another bonus is that when I later get to format the long string of text that is synched (as you can see I don't believe in the paragraph when writing on my phone), I get loads of additional ideas.

Good for you for getting that, HackerNews. Except for me.

Why isn't the example like this, to show that the notation nests? Or else state clearly that it does not:

(define (same? a b)
#2dcond
╔═════════════╦══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╦═════════════╗
║ ║ (pair? a) ║ (number? a) ║
╠═════════════╬══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╬═════════════╣
║ ║ #2dcond ║ ║
║ ║ ╔════════════════════════╦════════════════════════╗ ║ ║
║ (pair? b) ║ ║ ║ (same (car a) (car b)) ║ ║ #f ║
║ ║ ╠════════════════════════╬════════════════════════╣ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ (same (cdr a) (cdr b)) ║ #t ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ╚════════════════════════╩════════════════════════╝ ║ ║
╠═════════════╬══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╬═════════════╣
║ (number? b) ║ #f ║ (= a b) ║
╚═════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╩═════════════╝)

Also, the empty cell in the upper left of #2dcond could be used for specifying the default value, overriding the #f default default.
Diffie Hellman to the best of my understanding also relies on the same hard problems that make the public key cryptography possible. If you trivialize factoring of big numbers, you break both RSA and the original DHE. Not sure how it will work for elliptic curves, but my instinct tells me that if you make the fundamental ECC problem easy, the exchange will also go down.

> It seems he wanted to be found.

I talked to someone personally who at some point had committed a series of crimes, and at some point they started doing things that were more and more likely to get them caught; they told me they thought to themselves, "What am I doing?" But they didn't stop, and eventually got caught.

In a different story, a few years ago I dropped my wallet on the sidewalk outside my house, and someone picked it up and tried to use one of the credit cards in it. Then they got in a fight which got them arrested; and the police found my wallet (with my ID and everything) in their possession. Why get in a fight that's going to get you arrested just at the moment when you have stolen property in your pocket?

My take is this: We present to others, and even ourselves, the illusion that there's just one unified "self"; but really inside there are a number of independent motivations within us. In both cases above, I think there was a part of those people who felt guilty and actually did want to be caught and punished.

It's possible there was something similar going on with the guy who shot the CEO: one part of him had managed to plan everything perfectly so that he could get away; but there was a saboteur. It couldn't ahead of time prevent him from doing the shooting, but it could afterwards prevent him from disposing of the evidence and ensure that he got caught.
Yes, for building interpreters and other random metaprogramming.

Pros: much easier/faster development than C/C++; the JIT is not only simple (you only have to annotate likely backedges) but handles AST walkers just as well or even better than bytecoded terps.

Cons: have to learn the restricted subset of python; debugging the C-compiled terp can be painful, although (a) one can always slowly run the uncompiled terp under standard python, and (b) it's never more painful than debugging a buggy scratch-built C terp would have been.

I would highly recommend it if you've already written languages with low level implementations; if you only know python it might be a challenge.

> They all differ pointwise by an infinitesmal! This flexibility is a feature, not a bug.

No, they do not differ by an infinitesimal. You picked an arbitrary infinite N and found the derivative to be N/4. What if you picked N^2? or 2^N? or some upper limit set whose existence is stronger than choice? You get a different derivative every time and they all differ by an infinity between them. Good luck explaining that to high school students.

Moreover, working with equivalence relations is never a feature of any theory. Having to prove independence from representative at every step is not a feature, as you clearly demonstrate by making the mistake above.

> I've done a course in analysis that covered distributions, but your reply made me chuckle. You've told me that distributions are just as simple and then proceeded to dump paragraphs of jargon at me. L^infinity? Dual space? Support? Penrose defined? Inner product via integrals?

All concepts that are simple to define and understand. Majority of physicists likely understand well. Those that don’t, could.

Paragraphs of jargon? i’ve rigorously proven and justified my further assertions, at a similar level to OP and above what i’ve seen in some physics lectures.

I deliberately decided to avoid defining the above “jargon” terms after considering doing that to avoid extending the already long comment. I decided this because they are simple and a curious mind could quickly understand them by browsing wikipedia.

You’re welcome to ignore them and to go and compute derivatives and integrals just as mechanistically as in NSA (and I repeat, we haven’t even mentioned integrals in NSA. Good luck defining what are measurable functions on the hyperreals to your hypothetical AP high school students).

And to boot we never have to deal with any quantities that are not real measurable numbers. Anything we care about we can compute, more easily (integrals? integrals??) this way.

That is not to say that this isn’t an interesting theory that should be studied - just that it is quite the opposite of a “simplified” approach to general functions

I have an older (first-generation) iPad dedicated to my kitchen, for recipes and viewing things while cooking.

It strikes me as the perfect place for it, these days.

I've considered, many times, what life would be like if the Kitchen iPad could connect to the fridge and the air fryer and coordinate my food intake planning and execution .. but I'm really, really not ready to let that level of control enter my life. Yet.

It's a completely different thing. IP owners want watermarks on their IP so they can prosecute people who use their IP without giving credit, nobody's forcing them to watermark it.

I honestly do not know what I was thinking when I decided to practice code on these devices, but that quickly ended.
