Make your local hospital -- be your primary hospital, this is ALSO you're insurer. They tell you what doctors to go to, etc...but they pay for things when you're traveling too...so its in other hospitals' best interest to have okay rates so they all pay about the same and not crazy.

The hospital benefits because: Nearly guaranteed and predictable MRR based on monthly premiums (income based maybe 4% or something)...a lot less billers all around, etc.
I mean, we can selectively quote from this but the intent of it is very straightforward - Show HN is not really for reading material.
It is not strange at all, a very big motivation of spending billions in AI research is basically to remove what is called "skill premium" from the labor market. That "skill premium" was usually how people got richer than their fathers.
SUBST makes use of NT Object Namespace Symbolic Links to register the drive letter. After running SUBST, you get an object named "M:" (or whatever your drive letter is") sitting in the "\??\" directory, its full path will be "\??\M:". It will be a symbolic link that points to something like "\??\C:\target_path".

You can either see this by using "NtQuerySymbolicLinkObject" on "\??\M:", or calling "QueryDosDeviceW" on "M:". On Windows NT, you will see the result as an NT-native path "\??\C:\target_path" rather than a Win32-style path "C:\target_path".

"\??\" is not some kind of special notation for paths or anything, it is a real NT object that exists. It holds your drive letters and other things.

On Windows 9x, you won't see an NT-native path from QueryDosDevice, you'll instead see a Win32-style path "C:\target_path".

Weirdly enough, Sysinternals Winobj is unable to find the symbolic link object at all, despite that it exists when you query it using NT API calls.

Fun fact about NT native paths, you can use them in Win32 if you prefix them with "\\?\GLOBALROOT". So "\??\C:\" becomes "\\?\GLOBALROOT\??\C:\". You can use it in any Win32 program that doesn't actively block that kind of path (such as the file explorer/open dialog)

It says it gets data from people's minds. How else is something like that supposed to work? But in fact it gets it from keyboard input or whatever, rather than what it claims.
> "I'm not sure Berkeley Function-Calling represents tasks that are easy for average humans. Maybe programmers could perform well on it."

Functions in this context are not programming function calls. In this context, function calls are a now-deprecated LLM API name for "parse input into this JSON template." No programmer experience needed. Entity extraction by another name, except, that'd be harder: here, you're told up front exactly the set of entities to identify. :)

> "Moravec's paradox isn't a benchmark per se."

Yup! It's a paradox :)

> "Of course it is much easier to design a test specifically to thwart LLMs now that we have them"

Yes.

Though, I'm concerned a simple yes might be insufficient for illumination here.

It is a tautology (it's easier to design a test that $X fails when you have access to $X), and it's unlikely you meant to just share a tautology.

A potential unstated-but-maybe-intended-communication is "it was hard to come up with ARC before LLMs existed" --- LLMs existed in 2019 :)

If they didn't, a hacky way to come up with a test that's hard for the top AIs at the time, BERT-era, would be to use one type of visual puzzle.

If, for conversations sake, we ignore that it is exactly one type of visual puzzle, and that it wasn't designed to be easy for humans, then we can engage with: "its the only one thats easy for humans, but hard for LLMs" --- this was demonstrated as untrue as well.

I don't think I have much to contribute past that, once we're at "It is a singular example of a benchmark thats easy for humans but nigh-impossible for llms, at least in 2019, and this required singular insight", there's just too much that's not even wrong, in the Pauli sense, and it's in a different universe from the original claims:

- "Congratulations to Francois Chollet on making the most interesting and challenging LLM benchmark so far."

- "A lot of people have criticized ARC as not being relevant or indicative of true reasoning...The fact that [o-series models show progress on ARC proves that what it measures really is relevant and important for reasoning."

- "...nobody could quantify exactly the ways the models were deficient..."

- "What we need right now are "easy" benchmarks that these models nevertheless fail."
I felt deeply vindicated by their assessment of these frameworks, in particular LangChain.

I've built and/or worked on a few different LLM-based workflows, and LangChain definitely makes things worse in my opinion.

What it boils down to is that we are still coming to understand the right patterns of development for how to develop agents and agentic workflows. LangChain made choices about how to abstract things that are not general or universal enough to be useful.
I've not yet tried out Proxmox. Can you define where the Proxmox logs go? If so one could mount tmpfs ramdisks at startup and point the logs there with an aggressive log rotation cron to keep the usage low. If this is just syslog one could mount /var/log as tmpfs accepting that logs go away if one reboots or send syslog elsewhere over the network to cheap storage.

# grep "/var/log" /etc/fstab
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,nosuid,nodev,noatime,size=1g 0 0

It's unfortunate that stty requires forking. Maybe the next project will be to use bash and rowhammer to call the necessary ioctls to do it without forking.
> Kind of like the "zygote" forking model (early in the main process lifetime, a zygote process gets forked off, and when the main process wants another worker it asks the zygote to fork one off) except that the "zygote" is more like an induced pluripotent stem cell, having been reverted from an adult state.

interestingly enough, i thought of the same concept, except i did not get to implement that (for a few reasons). is "zygote" a term you made up or is it an established pattern?
There are probably some interesting things going on with earthquakes that we don’t understand yet.

On the other hand, earthquakes are very notable events and probably cause all kinds of observational biases that make people interpret other phenomena as related. “Earthquake lights” might just be transformers shorting out, for example.
considering the fact that these systems, or their ancestors, will likely contribute to Nuclear Fusion research -- it's prob worth the tradeoff, provided progress continues to push price (and, therefore, energy usage) down.

If we feel like we've really "hit the ceiling" RE efficiency, then that's a different story, but I don't think anyone believes this at this time.
>Because they’re both between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

This explains exactly nothing to me. There are many cities between Toronto and Montreal (the two largest CMAs in Canada, and about 88% of that driving distance) and I can't imagine why anyone would regularly travel between those two, either. Nor can I imagine why someone would make regular trips between Belleville and Ottawa (very close to the Bakersfield-Merced distance, and two of the larger cities in between).

>If not trains between cities what do you consider public transit?

Subways, light rail, streetcars and buses, all operating within a city. And, yes, trains operating within a CMA. (GO Transit trains from Toronto can get you as far as Kitchener, but as far as I know it's a vastly less popular route than the main Lakeshore lines. From Hamilton to Oshawa is definitely not solid built-up area, but it's pretty dense.)

I can't understand why this would be non-obvious. Maybe there's a cultural difference. Are Americans really so dedicated to urban sprawl that residents of a metropolis with an 7- or even 8-digit population might still require regular intercity travel to go about their lives?

Show HN: Tads Basic Game Objects, Lightweight JavaScript Library
Tads Basic Game Objects, tabageos, is a JavaScript library for making games and applications. I've been working on it for the past 12 years in my spare time. Originally it was an AS3 library for Flex game making, starting in 2012 I ported it to JavaScript.
One method many may find useful even outside of a game setting is the tabageos.loadSpriteSheetAndStart method. With a little setup you can effectively keep an image from showing up in dev tools using that method. I use it to generally secure sprite sheets for games. One major game released with the library so far is called Idle City Sim 2051. The github has complete games that are open source and there are examples of using each class individually.

That's a pretty dark view of humanity and human intelligence. We're defined by the tasks we can do?

There are likely many efficiency gains that will be made before it's released, and after. Also they showed o3 mini to be better than o1 for less cost in multiple benchmarks, so there're already improvements there at a lower cost than what available.
> China, one is the most polluting non-western countries, is going to renewables and electric vehicles at a faster rate than some of the western countries.

Its not "going to renewables". It's building the fastest amount of renewable generation, but that's new capacity, not replacement. It's also building the most coal plants and nuclear plants and anything else. It's all new capacity.

Same with cars. Most EVs and most ICes.

China is growing, and is doing so in all directions.
I'd love Apple TV for android. Can we get that on the EUs docket?
I don't think it has the delta-v to go lower. Anything it loses to the solar wind on the flyby comes off the apoapsis, not the periapsis. Really messed up mission to Eeloo, returning the capture burn for Kerbin would have been around 2,000m/s and I only had half of that. After many reloads I managed to make it work: I put the encounter distance in the upper atmosphere and waited until the burn would complete a bit past periapsis to light the engine. The booster was destroyed by the heat just after the engine shut down, a good portion of my heat shield burned off but I came out of the encounter slowed just barely enough for capture. I turned around and waited. Every time around my apoapsis would drop, the periapsis stayed almost constant through many orbits. When my apoapsis was low enough I didn't expect to get another orbit I turned back around and went in.
How is Geekbench any good at comparing RISC-V to ARM? Geekbench isn't a native RISC-V application, let alone has the wherewithal to correctly report any basic information like frequency or core count. You haven't even prefaced these either, and drew conclusions from them.

Also, actually searching the chip in question is impossible.
Yep, fully agree.

Sorry, to be clear, I dont wan't Grayjay data in my user directory AT ALL. Portable is basically what I want, I'm just very untactfully dropping feedback about where the data is placed.

Even with the "Portable" file, it creates a directory `/home/bisby/Grayjay`. I don't want that. No app should ever put a file or directory directly in `/home/bisby` without me asking it to. The Linux standard for "where should an app put it's files" is defined the XDG spec that I had previously linked (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/).

The summary is that user specific data should live in $XDG_DATA_HOME and config should live in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (and various other things like $XDG_CACHE_HOME). If these values are unset, there are predefined places to put the files (eg, data in $HOME/.local/share or config in $HOME/.config, cache in $HOME/.cache).

This puts all the Grayjay data in places like /home/bisby/.config/Grayjay (instead of /home/bisby/Grayjay) which is nested away inside a hidden directory and structured in a consistent way.

This would be the equivalent of putting data in %AppData% in windows instead of cluttering someone's "My Documents" (or whatever the modern equivalent of that is).

Some of the Linux decisions feel a bit like linux is a complete afterthought, but included because Linux users tend to agree with the FUTO philosophies. That is a reasonable thing given the Linux market share, and for "Build Version: 2" that I'm seeing the app info, I'm grateful that linux is included this early. This looks like it can probably replace freetube for me. However, it would go a long way if things are done to make sure they are done the "right way" on Linux (ie, on packaging and on directory specs).

Thanks for the work you've done on freeing up the web.
Anthropic keeps advertising its MCP (Model Context Protocol), but to the extent it doesn't support other LLMs, e.g. GPT, it couldn't possibly gain adoption. I have yet to see any example of MCP that can be extended to use a random LLM.

Not a proxmox user but that's certainly where I'd go, if I was: write to memory via an fs abstraction, get data off into another place via network if you need it.

There's also the noatime flag, for unavoidable writes to local disk: avoid the update to dir stat() state if you can.
Important to remember the process of privitisation that occurred and the opportunities for profiteering that the new complexity allowed.

I'm assuming that the average Palestinian feels persecuted, and is willing to support Hamas as the only group they see actively trying to do something about that, even if they don't love Hamas's methods. This support would evaporate quickly if they felt they were being treated like human beings.

If I were Palestinian and terrified for my family, I could see actively donating to and supporting Hamas, while also absolutely hating them and their methods, and longing for some other option.

Who in the hell is paying for this ...
My memory is that before the lawsuit, Qualcomm were using both arguments, "we have the right to transfer the licence, and even if we didn't, we have our own license".

The first argument was always the weaker argument, the license explicitly banned licence transfers between companies without explicit prior permission. Qualcomm were arguing that the fact they already had a licence counted as prior permission.

But ARM bypassed that argument by just terminating the Nuvia licence, and by the time of the lawsuit qualcomm was down to the second argument. Which was good, it was the much stronger argument.

In order to replace actual humans doing their job I think LLMs are lacking in judgement, sense of time and agenticism.
I routinely walk considerably further than that for groceries, in less time. On a route including a steep hill.

If you read Kuhn's book, you'll see he uses quantum mechanics as one of his examples of a scientific revolution. I mean, you might think he's wrong, but that's stretching the definition of "Kuhnian Revolution" a bit. And sure, Newtonian mechanics might come out in the classical limit, but the probabilistic aspect of QM alone represents a completely different way of viewing the universe than the Newtonian model.

Show HN: Dynamic Pydantic – Create Pydantic Models Using AI
A couple of months ago, I was able to replicate expand.ai's (YC S24) auto schema generation tool [1] over a weekend.

I've turned it into an open-source tool [2], combining Instructor and Pydantic to dynamically create models in runtime.

If AI agents want to become truly autonomous, they will need to be able to generate and validate code, tools and databases on the go.

Please let me know what you think! Looking for feedback on expanding this for agent-to-agent creation.

What are yours?

What crime did Trump commit? Why should he be in jail or executed?

I'm not aware of a single crime that he's committed and been convicted for that wasn't politically motivated. Both charging and convicted by the jury for political reasons.

Luigi, it's obvious, he murdered someone.

So, no, I don't understand your point?
Right. I hope the example can be extended to include a sample api service - as understanding how to verify the jwt, check blacklisted tokens are essential to actually using this.

I'm worried junior devs might look at such examples and believe it is real code.

I don't believe in Neo-Nazi's but I do believe they have the right to march and publish books, websites, etc. That's called free speech. I believe someone should be able to not agree with trans, or gays, or anything else... and they should be allowed to have their opinions.

So here, I'm just against censorship. I understand it's a private website and they are free to enforce their moderation and rules as they see fit... I'm simply pointing out that once you start letting the mob decide who gets on, who gets off, who's allowed and who's not -- instead of rules that are enforced blindly and fairly, then it's only a matter of time until the enforcement is changed at the whims of whomever is in control or is popular.
