Which were intentionally hunted to near-extinction and the carcasses wasted as a method of suppressing Native Americans.

Compare to whitetail deer: most hunters are interested in big trophy bucks and only bother to shoot does because they're part of a game management system. Killing does is for population management, and a lot of hunters aren't doing it just for food, though the does have milder flavored meat. They don't want to kill one, drag it out of the woods, take it to a processor, pay for processing, and then go back and pick it up a few days later just for the meat. Hungry people, OTOH, might not care so much where they get meat if it's free or very low cost to them.

One problem that can occur - and why these programs can be challenging to run - is that there is no control over the time between killing the animal and having it given to the processor. In colder climates, this is not a big issue as many will field-dress the animal to reduce weight and allow it to cool naturally. In warmer climates, it might be well above freezing even during winter hunting seasons. Killing the animal, dragging the carcass to a point where it can be field-dressed, and transporting it to the processor could take hours, increasing the risk of contamination.
This is for startups who are looking for that one in a hundred person hungry for their solution. Enterprises who have already scaled use an entirely different cook book to get the attention of a VP like yourself. A well-targeted and personalized email has a much better response rate for enterprises with a proven solution and well known brand.
It's different if you hit the animal vs just coming across the carcass. That detail is, probably conveniently, left out of most tales of roadkill stories.
I think the goals of the users would reflect in the design mutations of the LLM. If many people use an LLM do to X, then it will become better at doing X through evolution (see image gen AI). Mutations will of course occur via unexpected outputs that are attractive to the users.
Fentanyl, to me as a paramedic, has a great use case - it's extremely effective for a generally short time, when administered IV.

Understandable. For context, the GPT in the name comes from an earlier version of this project (https://github.com/gd3kr/blendergpt) which actually used GPT-4 to write python scripts that Blender would then execute. This would allow GPT-4 to program operations like instantiating primitives with the Blender Python API given only a text prompt (ex. "create 50 cubes")

The new version of BlenderGPT (lets call this v2) doesn't use an any autoregressive token prediction for the actual mesh generation part, so I understand why it sounds dishonest. I really just chose to stick with the name because artists really didn't seem to care about how the meshes are generated, and the term GPT became closely associated with AI.

As for the technical stuff, I've been working on BlenderGPT v2 for the past several months, and until a week ago, i had been using a custom pipeline I built borrowing and re-implementing bits of Unique3D (https://wukailu.github.io/Unique3D/) and combining it with optimized models (flow matching diffusion models etc) for intermediate steps (text to image generation). My optimizations reduced inference time from >2 minutes to only about 20 seconds. This is the model used in this demo i shared: https://x.com/gd3kr/status/1853645054721606100

And then Microsoft released Trellis (https://github.com/microsoft/TRELLIS), and it seemed to leapfrog my model's capabilities on most things. Integrating it into the pipeline wasn't too hard and so I went forward with it.

All of this is just to say that there really was a lot of effort put into the core pipeline, and the landing page was mostly an afterthought. Actively working on a more comprehensive one that covers all the points I talked about.
This is a really hostile comment. Sorry that your upset, but you don't need to take it out on me.

The purpose of my comment was to refute your claim that arbitrary password resets is the "recommended practice for every IT department for pretty much all corps".

Because it's not true.

>Great there's at least 3 companies that do not have this policy.

Between me and my colleagues we consult at dozens to hundreds of corporations per year. "At least 3" is pretty disingenuous.

It seems like Team Ding's strategy was to survive until tie breaks, where he would have been the favorite. Given Ding's form, they probably didn't believe he could reliably win games in classical versus an in-form Gukesh.

As such, Ding went for draws in multiple games with clearly superior positions that someone like e.g. Magnus Carlsen would have played out and won. I'm sure they regret that strategy now.
I do understand and agree about the spaces over tabs but why furry as well?
I'm also puzzled by many of the comments that are (for HN standards) exceptionally angry and dismissive.

Yeah, apparently the data is incomplete and there are some errors/disputes. But that will always be the case when processing huge amounts of data in a way that's never done before. I'd hope we could provide more helpful feedback (what _exactly_ is incorrect and what is the source of the correct information).

Edit: upon closer inspection I found many of the comments originating from the same users, so maybe it's just a very passionate topic for a small but vocal group.
It wouldn’t be as bad if it was that simple :)

If handling a signal was equivalent to handling concurrency then it wouldn’t be as much of a problem.

IIRC a signal can take over execution of a running thread, so it will completely invalidate any critical sections etc. You cannot access any shared resource easily, cannot allocate memory and a lot more restrictions of this form.

It's only got 7 dBm / 5 mW worth of TX power. You'll still need a dedicated power amplifier or multiple - not sure, antenna/PA isn't my specialty - if you wish to communicate with anything more than a few feet away from you.

Also, its frequency range officially begins at 325 MHz. That's usable enough for the 70cm ham radio range, but practically useless for anything on the longer bands without a hack [1] that will only give you the 2m and 4m bands.

On the other hand... you don't want to go below the 2m range on a handheld anyway, antenna length can be a real pain.

ETA: WiMo sells a transverter but it'll cost you about the same amount of money that you'd have to shell out for the Pluto... and still only 50 mW of TX power. Given that our club station has a PA stage that can blast out the full allowed 750W on 160m, that's quite a difference...

The Torrent uTP protocol (UDP) has hole-punching.

(I'm not OP - I'm on the Charybdis.)

I prefer a trackball because I can momentum-flick my cursor from one side of my 4k screen (at 100% zoom) to another side monitor pretty easily... as long as I keep the ball bearings clean. I've been thinking about using a metal trackball for more momentum, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I have a "sniper" key I use to decrease sensitivity for more precision cursoring... but rarely use it (maybe once a month?). I do not have thumb fatigue.
I had a neighbor whose dogs had cornered an opossum in the back yard. The small town police officer that responded decided that since no animal control could respond, he would take care of it. He fired from < 10' away 3 times to put this small animal down. It was then that I became aware of just how untrained with weapons cops really are.
I think one very common situation you are missing in "Things that can go wrong" is repeating events:

If an event repeats every Sunday at 8pm, people expect that to stay at 8pm local time. Which means you need to know the original timezone the event was created in and make sure the interval is counted in local time, respecting DST. A `timestamptz` field is not enough for that, you need the additional `timezone` storage.

Another thing that I think is useful to mention is the new extensions to ISO8601 time formatting that allow you to include the actual time zone specifier, which is now finally being standardized:

https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/strings.html

> Because of this format's long-term industry adoption, it was chosen for use in ECMAScript Temporal for both input and output.

> Although neither ISO-8601 nor RFC 3339 specifications currently use this syntax, it's on a standards track led by the IETF SEDATE working group which includes ECMAScript Temporal champions as well as other industry participants.

It is very important to use a high quality time library that forces you to think about these things.

>Adaptive socialisation happens through conversation

It's kinda tricky to start conversations with strangers in a world where everyone out in public has their Airpods in, in an effort to tune out everyone and everything around them, or in cultures where talking with strangers if frowned upon.

For example, I'm trying to make new friends now in my 30's in a foreign country where everyone has their friends/cliques since childhood, and it's basically playing the game on ultra nightmare difficulty.

I can see why a lot of people just give up and hermit themselves into their introvert hobbies and resort to para-social relationships with people online, as forced socialization consumes a lot of time and effort with next to no returns.
Not surprising that wired has this story.

I have a feeling that in order to deflect interest from the initial issue (health care), mainstream media will turn to its favourite topic, guns in America. Mainstream media is incapable of offering a real critique of Luigi M's actions, and of course they are part of the power structure so they must instill a bit of fear and distance the public from the very real actions that have occurred.

The key word is "Help". Are donated calories good for needy families? Almost surely yes. Are deer (and other wildlife) essentially zero maintenance? Also yes. And will people _pay_ to hunt them, then donate the food for free? I do!

There's no downside here - so yes, I believe it can 'help'.

700kc/lb is probably right, but I got ~50 lbs off my last deer ~= 35,000. Still order of magnitude, you're right.

However, there's no need to just hunt where you live. I travel to two different remote parts of my state where deer problems are worst - again, at my own expense because I enjoy it. That "Free transportation of calories" shouldn't be ignored either.

Show HN: Machine learning based PCB routing [video]
Hey everyone, super excited to share with you what me and my friends have been working on with our startup.

Auto Routers for PCB boards have been around since the 60s but you have probably never use one...that’s because they aren’t that good. They produce results that are hard for humans to reasons about and reviewing/debugging them takes longer than doing it yourself.

We have a machine learning model thats trained to produce human like designs that are easy to comprehend.

That’s a first baby step towards automating the full process. Check out this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlNsPRh_x-w

It’s in closed beta but we are slowly opening up now and happy to give everyone on HN early access...just fill this form: https://forms.gle/nsZciSbTTRK81PaM8
Question: how do you think the US government post-9/11 would respond if they actually didn't know who belonged to these drones and they were less than an hour from Washington DC (given a flight speed of 200mph https://en.defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/325_kmh_while_ukra...)? Would they pussyfoot around for a week, then blow smoke up our asses about it or would they immediately eliminate the threat and then blow smoke up our asses about it? I think that someone somewhere knows what's happening and won't tell us but has enough authority to stand down an armed response, which to me sounds like DHS or DoD.
Show HN: TTS Accents – 1000 voice combinations
Most TTS models today have a fixed set of voices that are tied to a fixed set of languages.

We built a trained TTS model with the concept of accents like we have in real life. You can have a Chinese person speaking English or a German person speaking French. Hints of their accents from their original language can be heard when they speak another language.

We took this idea and the understanding of how one-shot voice cloning works and trained a model on 100+ voices & languages, giving you 1000+ unique voice combinations.

One interesting use case is customer support to have a voice sound similar to where the person is calling from, making them feel more at home!

It's still pretty new, and there's more to come, but we do have users using it in production, open to any feedback and ideas :)

Show HN: Credit reports about German companies
Hello,

In addition to my studies in computer science, I have been working on a side project. I obtain data from the Unternehmensregister, a register where every German limited company is required to publish their financial statements. These statements are published as HTML files and are completely unstructured. While financial statements often look similar, companies are not required to follow a specific structure, which often leads to inconsistently formatted statements.

The use of the Unternehmensregister is completely free, so you can check out some examples.

I wrote code that converts the unstructured financial statements into structured data using the ChatGPT API. This works well. Of course, there are some problems that have not yet been solved, but data extraction works well for the majority of companies.

I than coded a Random Forest algorithm to estimate the probability of default for a company based on its financial statement from the Unternehmensregister. I built a website to present the structured data along with the scores. Essentially, I create a credit reports for companies.

Currently, there are four companies in Germany that also create credit reports (Schufa, Creditreform, Crif, and Creditsafe). Other companies resell the data from these four providers. I provide the same services as these companies, but without including personal information such as directors or investors. The market for this service is quite large; for example, Creditreform sold over 26 million credit reports about companies in 2020.

My probability of default prediction performs quite well, achieving an AUC score of 0.87 on my test data. An AUC of 0.87 means that there is an 87% chance that the model ranks a randomly selected company that defaults higher than a randomly selected company that does not default. Additionally, there are many more companies to crawl for my database.

Currently, I am focusing on companies that are required to publish their profit and loss statements. For testing purposes, there are currently 2,000 companies available on my website.

At the moment, the website is only available in German, but you can use Google Translate, which works ok for my website.

Thank you very much for your feedback!
