Last time I used ChatGPT 'memory' feature it got full very quickly. It remembered my name, my dog's name and a couple tobacco casing recipes he came up with. OpenAI doesn't seem to be using embeddings and a vector database, just text snippets it injects in every conversation. Because RAG is too brittle ? The same problem arises when composing LLM calls. Efficient and robust workflows are those whose prompts and/or DAG were obtained via optimization techniques. Hence DSPy.

Consider the following use case: keeping a swimming pool water clean. I can have a long running conversation with a LLM to guide me in getting it right. However I can't have a LLM handle the problem autonomously. I'd like to have it notify me on its own "hey, it's been 2 days, any improvement? Do you mind sharing a few pictures of the pool as well as the ph/chlorine test results ?". Nothing mind-boggingly complex. Nothing that couldn't be achieved using current LLMs. But still something I'd have to implement myself and which turns out to be more complex to achieve than expected. This is the kind of improvement I'd like to see big AI companies going after rather than research-grade ultra smart AIs.

"Name one use of electric lighting that hasn't resulted in candle makers losing work?"

The framing of the question misses the point. With electric lighting we can now work longer into the night. Yes, less people use and make candles. However, the second order effects allow us to be more productive in areas we may not have previously considered.

New technologies open up new opportunities for productivity. The bank tellers displaced by ATM machines can create value elsewhere. Consumers save time by not waiting in a queue, allowing them to use their time more economically. Banks have lower overhead, allowing more customers to afford their services.
Also the location is only accessible to you, the owner of the device. Not Apple or "random other people's iPhones".

The engineering and thought that went into the whole thing to be useful but also privacy protecting is actually pretty impressive, and exactly the kind of thing we should be encouraging companies to do if we care about privacy. Especially since as you point out, you can still easily turn it off at any point if you want.

Re: Your Brains
That’s a fallacy. Human babies don’t grow up in isolation; if they do, it’s in contrived experiments, and drawing conclusions from that is about as helpful as watching birds in a cage.

Humans in their natural environment will interact with other humans socially, mirror their display of emotion, and have a desire for affection.
And "autonomous" is "having one's own laws".

I'll take a guess: you are raising kids in a small-to-medium, moderately-or-more affluent community -- or a similar enclave, or selective/private school, in a larger city.

I would further postulate that your parenthood community is more affluent than your childhood community.

My point being: the lifestyle you describe (and its offset from the median) has "always" (post-war at least) been common in "nice" places. But nice places are unusual.
Personally, I like that the internet is ephemeral. It matches real life in that way. I would rather see the internet as a means of connecting people over large distances (across space, Mars, etc), maintaining 20,000 copies of every irrelevant thing is just silly.

Pretty much. There's a lot of swingers these days, but no one with a triple digit IQ will raise their say "Hey I'm a swinger!" to their entire friend circle due to all the downsides that come along with it. People just do it quietly to avoid causing drama (from usually ugly people). I've always suspected the need for people to declare these types of alternate-sexuality lifestyles is more attention seeking and validation than actual organic expression of an identity. The loudest ones about these lifestyles are usually the most boner-killer types in terms of looks.

There may be some temporal confusion here. Gen-Z rates of homeownership has stalled out over the past year or so. Prices are no longer rising like they once were, with fears over impending decline, so the desire is not what it once was. It may be fair to say that the narrative has shifted to "too expensive", but as they loaded up early when prices were rising at unprecedented rates there is a big head start at play. They don't have to buy any more homes for a while to maintain the lead.

Maybe, but no doubt these "dumb" people can still get dressed in the morning, navigate a trip to the mall, do the dishes, etc, etc.

It's always been the case that the things that are easiest for humans are hardest for computers, and vice versa. Humans are good at general intelligence - tackling semi-novel problems all day long, while computers are good at narrow problems they can be trained on such as chess or math.

The majority of the benchmarks currently used to evaluate these AI models are narrow skills that the models have been trained to handle well. What'll be much more useful will be when they are capable of the generality of "dumb" tasks that a human can do.

Show HN: PennyMeal – AI-Powered Meal Planner with Real-Time Grocery Prices
Hey HN! I’ve been working on PennyMeal, an AI-driven meal planner that tackles two big hassles: sticking to specific nutrition goals (like hitting exact macros) and staying within a grocery budget—using real-time prices from nearby stores.

Why I Built It
I’m someone who geeks out over nutrition and saving money, but every time I tried to manually plan meals, I’d miss out on store discounts or forget to track certain macros. So I created PennyMeal to automate all that, and it’s grown into a pretty comprehensive tool.

Key Features
AI-Powered Meal Planning: Enter your daily protein, carb, and fat targets, and it suggests meals that fit those macros.
Real-Time Grocery Prices: Pulls pricing data from local stores (coverage can vary, still improving!) so you can see exactly how much each ingredient will cost.
Weekly Ads & Discounts: Tries to incorporate current deals and promotions when building your grocery list to keep you under budget.
Exact Grocery Items: Tells you precisely which products to buy based on your meal plan and where they’re cheapest.
Pantry Management: Keeps track of what you already have to avoid waste and double-buys.
How It Works
AI Engine: Looks at your macro constraints, budget, location-based prices, and weekly ads.
Recipe Matching: Each meal has a detailed nutritional breakdown—perfect for anyone who wants to keep tabs on everything from protein to fiber.
Stack: React/TypeScript on the front end, Node/Express on the back end, plus data from various store APIs and a discount aggregator.
You can browse and generate plans without an account (to make it easy to try). If you want to save plans or tweak them, a simple login is required.

Feedback Welcome!
I’d love to know:

Do you find the AI suggestions helpful for hitting specific macros?
Are the real-time prices/discounts accurate or missing anything in your area?
What else would you want from an AI meal planner?
I’m here to answer questions, so fire away. Thanks for checking out PennyMeal, and I hope it makes your meal planning less stressful—and a bit more wallet-friendly!
Looks like quite shoddy code though. Like, the procedure for running a shell command is pure side-effect procedural code, neither returning the exit code of the command nor its output. Like the incomplete stackoverflow answer it probably was trained from. It might do one job at a time, but once this stuff gets integrated into one coherent thing, one needs to rewrite lots of it, to actually be composable.

Though, of course one can argue, that lots of human written code is not much different from this.

I agree 100%. If you want to deliver valuable software you need short iterations because you need to validate assumptions. Anything you build more than the bare minimum is not included this feedback loop so your assumptions are not getting validated and you don't know if you're building the right stuff.

This is not easy though. You don't want to paint yourself into a corner because of earlier design decisions that turned out to be unexpectedly very costly. So you need to have some set of assumptions that you will not get a chance to validate soon. I guess experience helps here.
Id agree with you if there hasn’t been very deliberate work towards solving ARC for years, and if thr conceit of the benchmark wasn’t specifically based on a conception of human intuition being, put simply, learning and applying out of distribution rules on the fly. ARC wasn’t some arbitrary inverse set, it was designed to benchmark a fundamental capability of general intelligence

> Personally, I like that the internet is ephemeral.

It is not. It is only for us normal people. But the companies which log our lives in order to then capitalize on it, for them the internet is not ephemeral. They have copies of videos, pages, podcasts, whatever it is what can be found there.

Why would you want those companies to know more about yourself than you do?

Why are the moral panics always about the media diets of children? Let’s talk about old people for a minute.

1) They can be socially isolated in ways that few children are. An unsupervised septuagenarian can go literal days without speaking to another live human being.

2) They’re more technologically competent than we give them credit for, certainly enough to spend days doomscrolling their politically aligned newsfeeds of choice. The generation who thought their CD-ROM drives were cupholders passed quite some time ago.

3) They have an outsized influence on politics. Not only do they vote more than any other demographic in the US, they are the most likely to turn up and harangue your city council or school board meeting.

Of course, nothing new under the sun, their parents’ generation was mainlining cable news and AM talk radio 20-30 years ago.
My mail provider does some kind of periodic backup which they do out of their own goodness of heart even though they don’t have to (that what they say).

I save important official docs from my mail — I even sometimes export eml files to those archive/backup folders. So all those get backed up.

The emails themselves? Not really — even though the mail folder (Thunderbird’s; not Mail.app’s — can’t trust an Apple made utility app to be part of even a half hearted backup process) is actually part my backup routine as part of one of those 3 backup tools running on my system (and 2 sync tools). But I seriously doubt I am going to find an email from a backup snapshot ever. But if I must I have that.

But I would want to — have wanted to. Maybe a dedicated tool that downloads every single mail and keeps it synced with the server in an email file format that’s most efficient for backup and querying that backup later. Or maybe tweak around Thunderbird that makes that happen.

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention — I immediately delete those official mails (like statements, bills) immediately after saving those PDFs if I have to. I think I delete 99% of email I receive (okay maybe 80-90% - not sure; you get the idea). Only personal emails are what I never delete. So I never have too much email to begin with. I do the same with photos and videos and screenshots taken - if it can be detected, it will be deleted.
Even if one refuses to move on from software dev to something like AI deployer or AI validator or AI steerer, there might be a need.

If innovation ceases, then AI is king - push existing knowledge into your dataset, train, and exploit.

If innovation continues, there's always a gap. It takes time for a new thing to be made public "enough" for it to be ingested and synthesized. Who does this? Who finds the new knowledge?

Who creates the direction and asks the questions? Who determines what to build in the first place? Who synthesizes the daily experience of everyone around them to decide what tool needs to exist to make our lives easier? Maybe I'm grasping at straws here, but the world in which all scientific discovery, synthesis, direction and vision setting, etc, is determined by AI seems really far away when we talk about code generation and symbolic math manipulation.

These tools are self driving cars, and we're drivers of the software fleet. We need to embrace the fact that we might end up watching 10 cars self operate rather than driving one car, or maybe we're just setting destinations, but there simply isn't an absolutist zero sum game here unless all one thinks about is keeping the car on the road.

AND even if there were, repeating doom and feeling helpless is the last thing you want. Maybe it's not good truth that we can all adapt and should try, but it's certainly good policy.

I totally agree. Technical debt is a vague metaphor that is not very helpful. It doesn't accelerate discussions. It doesn't help us make better or quicker decisions. In fact the opposite is true, someone will say something about tech debt, everyone will agree (but everyone has their own interpretation so everyone actually thinks something different) and the topic is shoved under the carpet until it becomes relevant again.

I don't like metaphors in general, but this one tops the list.

that question only exists for certain types of accounts. On page 13, compare

>For each person ask:

>Amount in each type

Note the lack of "each" in the former.

Moreover, on the main page[1] it's explicitly stated that figures are per-family, not per account.

>For each variable and classification group, the charts show the percent of families in the group who have the item and the median and mean amounts of holdings for those who have any.

It's further stated that 98.6% of families have "transaction accounts", so the effect of excluding people without transaction accounts is minimal.

MatematicasVisuales – visual expositions of mathematical concepts
You might need to recall just how crazy it was e.g. literal shrines to boy bands were just normal. To cover every inch of your bedroom walls and ceiling with photos of a celebrity crush was not unheard of. At school, every conversation could be about these obsessions. Folders/files would be covered with pledges of devotion.

No comment on how it is today, but looking back it was terrifyingly nuts - full on religious fervour to the point of mental disorder. When bands broke or people married/died, there would be full on breakdowns and sympathy suicides.

The lack of information might have helped exacerbate the religious mystery and make more space for imagination, fantasy and faith.
NSO Group is unique in that they are entirely sheltered from (largely due) criticism by their government, creating an unaccountable and injust basis of relations between the United States and Israel that many readers are concerned by. There simply aren't any other comparably corrupt "cybersecurity" outfits in the world.

Kinda similar to how the IDF has never been charged with war crimes despite several of their service-members being recorded breaking the law in their Israeli fatigues. It's not that international law was never broken, it's that Israel considers themselves above the rule of law and international bases of morality. That type of behavior absolutely must be called out in it's lonesome, such that no nation ever repeats Israel's embarrassing mistake.
