When you look at native american bison hunting, it sometimes involved routing a herd to charge itself off a cliff vs actually making the kill by hand which carries a lot of risk.

If we take the logic of your final paragraph to its ultimate conclusion, it seems companies can avoid having friends and family speak up about the harassment if they just hire a hitman.
That is what happened to the local feed for the city I live in. Their mapping data was trash. I went through fixed the GPS, found the typical focalized center of frame, built a basic frontend, and then they shut it all down.

I found the dude that ran it and emailed back and forth with him for a few years. They made excuses about how it is an IT issue.
Balancing safety and innovation in human health is incredibly difficult.

This isn't a criticism of the FDA, but rather an observation of facts underscoring both the challenges and opportunities.

Some foods consumed safely by humans are toxic/harmful in mice, due to how mice react differently to key compounds.

Common examples:

1. Chocolate - theobromine

2. Coffee - caffeine

3. Chili peppers - capsaicin
Can exercise make you happy, not as an end result, but while doing it?
Exercise is movement for the sake of movement, because science says, movement in certain ways was healthy.

In other words: run to lose weight, because that's healthy. Lift weights to build muscle, because that's healthy. Move exactly along this line for this amount of repetitions to maximise the amount of muscle you build. Rest for exactly this amount of time. You have no reason to take the stairs other than it being healthy. And on it goes.

Fun is not part of this equation so far, only conscientiousness.
Ask HN: Anyone working on the intersection of AI x Gaming?
The field of AI x Gaming is quite interesting and i guess gaming is the next industry where we will see the AI boom. From Intelligent NPCs, infinite gameplay to games created using diffusion, as shown by genie2 and other models, are you guys working on any of this? and how do you envision the games next year or so?

> This is more a theoretical question of whether any law of physics makes this impossible (e.g. you can't create unpaired particles), or whether this is theoretically possible but it's difficult to get enough efficiency to make it net positive.

It's theoretically impossible, with the slight problem that there seems to be more matter than antimatter in the universe today and nobody really knows why.

Either the theory is wrong (and it being a conservation rule, then by Noether's theorem there's an equivalent symmetry* you'd have to violate if the conservation doesn't hold), or the initial value that's getting conserved wasn't ever zero.

* the wikipedia page says this is specific to continuous symmetry; but integers aren't continuous, so has this been generalised, or is it just assumed?
In the Forge of God universe there is a way to convert chunks of matter (like you and your spaceship) to antimatter, for instance it's a violation of the conservation rules that actually get conserved to turn hydrogen -> antihydrogen.
I like the brown instead of olive drab in the EGA palette, though imho they could have also made one of the two magentas orange instead: orange is missing and how many magentas does one really need?
Nit: ┐ isn't emoji. It's a box drawing character, and they've been around in one form or another since at least the 80s. The modern form has been part of Unicode from (nearly?) the beginning.

In any case, the character itself is unrelated to the bug. As someone pointed out in the bug thread, certain Cyrillic strings will also cause it.

You could even say that Hallmark is giving you a prompt.
You're using facts about the magnitude of the problem to justify inaction towards solving it. That just doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, the battles between him and others on the linux kernel mailing list were epic.
This division, using SRT loop with 2 bit output per iteration, perhaps would have already been microcoded - but using the lookup table as an accelerator. An alternative could use a simpler approach (e.g. 1-bit-iteration "non-restoring" division). Longer but still fitting into normal range.

But if they had understood possible aftermath of non-tested block they would have implemented two blocks, and switch to older one if misworking was detected.
I hate to reign on your parade but Canonical (Ubuntu) is doing the same thing as Microsoft just to a slightly lesser extent.

The same pretty much goes for any of its many derivatives. Redhat is no longer open. Arch and alpine based have hardware issues.

The choices you once had with Linux are far less today than they have been in the past. You almost need to know how to build a distro from scratch to get comparable features and privacy to yesteryear.
Ah, ok, that's a nasty bug/scenario. I long for the good old days one could just rsync the internal drive and bless it and you have a bootable clone, or make compressed disk image. Those were the days.

Getting everything to work reliably. This was my first time handling a software with so many moving parts. If I could get the search query to work, I would break the date range filter, if that worked, the document indexing flow would stutter, or I’d discover a new bug caused by an edge-case.

Since I built this application in an exploratory manner (branching out without a larger architectural design), it often became unwieldy for a solo hobbyist like myself.

Plus, I wasn’t able to really get going with user feedback. Reached out to family, friends and colleagues but faced the Windows roadblock and got demotivated. In the end, built it for myself and used it by myself. I am happy with that!
I'm deliberately blurring refusal with having an accurate picture of its own abilities and, past that, having an accurate picture of of what it can do given tools. Both are tested by

"Can you X?"

With refusal you find just how shallow it is because it really will answer all sorts of questions that are "helpful" in making a nuclear bomb but when you ask it directly it shuts up. In another sense nothing it does is "helpful" because it's not going to hunt down some people in central asia who have 50kg of U235 burning a hole in their pocket for you, which is what would actually "help".

I use tool using LLMs frequently, but I find they frequently need help using their tools, it is a lot of fun to talk to Windsurf about the struggles it has with its tools and it feels strangely satisfying to help it out.
Nice work. Thank you for commenting on HN!

Did you guys try using an RNN or some other kind of DNN to encode the patches?
I haven't implied that, and in fact am careful never to imply nor assume it. I'm making an empirical observation about the conditions under which this complaint comes up, and how similar they are.

> my position isn't that those people should be banned for their political views. They should be banned if and when their speech has negative real-world consequences.

That sounds fine in principle, but in practice it just shifts the language from 'what is the correct ideology' to 'what speech has negative consequences'. Since you can easily predict the latter from the former—that is, if you know what a person says about the first, it's easy to predict what they will say about the second—I don't see much difference there.

> But you would rather have liars spreading disinformation and bigots spreading hate

Same again here: your (or whoever's) definitions of 'disinformation' and 'hate' are functions of your/their ideological view, so this amounts to the complaint that the mods aren't following your/their ideology. It's just a more aggressive way of saying it.

One can be on board with the critique of naive neutrality which you refer to in your first sentence (and which, btw, is so often repeated that, if we're going to call things trite, we should include that one), without agreeing that a community like this must be run by mods who publicly consign themselves to a single ideological box and moderate based on the definitions it dictates. That may be what committed ideologues would like, but the majority of the community would not. It's also incompatible with the intellectual curiosity that the site is trying to organize around, so we don't have the option anyhow, if we want HN to exist for its intended purpose.

Yes, and they predate the internet.

They are essentially a public live traffic report so that the news agencies are not running helicopters amok to get the same footage; and many of the cameras are in tight locations where it would be hard to fly helicopters or drones without irritating neighbors or being a danger to public safety.

Show HN: I Made an Extension to Fix Missing Birthday Reminders in GoogleCalendar
Hello HN.
I've been frustrated by Google Calendar's handling of birthday reminders lately. It syncs birthdays from contacts but doesn't offer notifications like any other calendar, leaving many of us to miss important dates.

To solve this, I built a Chrome extension that syncs birthdays from your Google Contacts and adds customizable reminders.

Key features:
* Automatic sync with Google Contacts
* Creates a separate, manageable birthday calendar
* Option to manually update or export the birthday calendar

It's my first Chrome extension, built with JavaScript and Google Calendar API. I'd love to hear what you think.
Are rotary pumps that large? From what I can tell, they’re relatively small as long as we’re talking the ones sized for single group machines.
I'm curious if you're aware of some papers from around 2005 on using contextual entropy to do unsupervised word segmentation on Chinese, and other languages that don't use spaces for word boundaries.

https://aclanthology.org/Y03-1017/
https://aclanthology.org/I05-1009/
https://aclanthology.org/P06-2056/

Exactly the same approach of segmenting a word when the entropy goes up compared to the previous byte.
that's clearly not a bad thing. however encouraging people to run mutating, procedural code with explicit loops and aliasing maybe isn't the right path to get there. particularly if you just drag forward all the weird old baggage with libc and its horrible string conventions.

I think any programming environment that treats a gpu as a really slow serial cpu isn't really what you want(?)
TimeMachine is a pretty good second option. It's not bootable itself, but the recovery console on any mac can ingest a time machine backup and get you back up and running quite quickly. The benefit here is that it's free, trivial to setup, and very easy to keep running; Given an empty disk, plug it in, click one button, done.
It’s a PITA to extract a stateful react component to a standalone piece of code that can be inserted in a random place (in another page, served via API etc.). Not sure about Svelte, but achieving this in React was unexpectedly hard/impossible in our use case.
Interesting! I find I very often have to do this with humans. But yes, the repeat mistakes is a thing. This is where ensuring I output context along the way is helpful. Although it's maybe annoying to "re-refer" to the context, I find that it helps the AI make the same mistakes less often

Yeah, why not? The US already spends more tax dollars per person in healthcare. The excess gets funneled to the insurance companies. There's no reason why we can't implement universal healthcare without increasing taxes.
Ask HN: Any working Chrome extensions that delay loading of YouTube?
Recently I decided to limit the amount of time I waste on youtube, reddit, etc. but blocking it altogether is too restrictive (sometimes it's useful - for example for background music or some tutorials).

There are several chrome extensions that supposedly let you delay loading of choosen websites, but:
1. most of them have a google warning that they might be removed for "breaking the rules"
2. none of them work correctly. They don't block the first time you enter a website, and they don't block when you click links on the same domain. They work the best when you refresh, but even then - not always.

Similar extensions on firefox work perfectly. At this point I'm starting to get paranoid and think Google blocked this functionality on purpose (but then it wouldn't also be blocked for reddit and other websites so it's probably not on purpose).

List of extensions I've tried:
one sec
YouTube Detoxifier
Delayed Gratification
WaitBlock
probably something else I forgot about

On the off chance this is done on purpose I switched back to firefox cause if true it's outrageous.
MIT OCW has a free textbook "The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering: Mastering Complexity", which I usually point folks to on the subject of estimating physical systems. I think this is a real gem. Another work of the author is referenced at the bottom of the article. I'll also vouch for the referenced Guesstimation (though I hate the title).

Their first example is basically pretending basic promise concurrency on maps doesn't exist when it's been around before Promises were an official API (Search: bluebird promise map concurrency)

And the third examples are much easier to maintain with a simple function I drafted up for sake of argument `processArrayWithStages(array: T[],
limit: number,
stages: Array<(item: T) => Promise<T>>)`

In my experience, unless you're doing math in promises which I would recommend shifting to WASM, you're not going to feel the overhead of these intermediary arrays at scales that you shouldn't be in WASM already (meaning over several millions of entries).

The amazing people and teams working on V8 have done well to optimize these flows in the past four years because they are extremely common in popular applications. Strings aren't even copied in the sense you might think, you have a pointer to a chunk that can be extended and overwritten which incurs a penalty but saves tons of RAM.

I have explained how D-K's two resulting groups vary and why those differences are important for human spiritual development.

The fact that you think I should read about topics I already understand is just more arrogance from you, my friend.

You started calling me names and suggesting that I seek mental health help. Do you not find your behavior problematic? You should, and that's why I refer you to Occam's Razor. The term 'ignorance' is based upon one ignoring the truth. You and your friend have together questioned my mental health while I type rings around you, encircling you with unassailable logic based upon compassionate self-evolution of ourselves via learning how to make better decisions.

Your ego can't cope with the truth, because I'm trying to help you rid yourself of it. Read my explanation about the Golden State Killer, and know that I am not making sh_t up, and also know that your belief system has ZERO explanation for either that bastard's behaviors or your own stooping to call me names and question my mental health, all because you can't assail our explanations of the universe vis a vis our moral predicament.

At some point, Eugene Parker simply stopped arguing with the established astrophysics community and merely said, "We'll see who falls flat." And now the Parker Solar Probe is doing its thing out in space. There is no reason that the "Sufi Science of Human Self-Evolution" would face any less a challenge. In fact, such resistence is to be expected, because all our egos fight this path. I am not superior to anyone, I've simply been granted the grace to make a bit of progress on the path, and have learned from people far greater than myself.

Humility is the most important result of D-K, and neither of you two have a lick of it. That's why I keep bringing it up, friend. Few of Eugene Parker's contemporaries had any, either.

"they should not, under any circumstances, use a video or image as proof or assume its veracity"

This is just silly. Courts never assume the validity of evidence. It is actually assumed to be invalid unless it can be proved to have not been tampered with. Photos have been able to be edited for over 100 years but they are still used as evidence. The person who took the photo will sign an affidavit and or testify in court that it is real. And AI videos are going to be easily detectable for a long time.

> find the convention used in many countries of numbering building floors starting with zero to be more logical.

Ukrainian here. Multi-floor buildings always have at least one stair section to first floor due to need of thermal basement isolation. (I guess this is not pertaining to Western Europe due to more clement winters.) And, yep, it is called "first" floor. Using zero number is rare but possible (in this case it is called "tsokolny" floor) if a real "basement floor" is present, but in this case still 1-based numbering is preferred.
