Kozel – Software for Cryptocurrencies
I recently came across a Telegram channel (https://t.me/hidden_coding) with a lot of different software for Telegram coin farming apps. I saw that there were a lot of people using them and a generally active community, which made me trust them. I decided to explore their TG channel in more detail and came across their other software and found a lot of interesting things there.

For example, Kozel software is a software that allows you to automate a lot of monotonous operations with a nice and clear interface. For example, I have a farm of Solana wallets (150+) where recently there was airdrop of Pengu token, with the help of this software I sent drops from all wallets to OKX exchange to different addresses, which is very important not to be a sybil! Fast and convenient. By the way, you can see their documentation here - https://github.com/dry-com/kozel.

What else I have managed to use:
1. Creating a large number of wallets in various networks.
2. Connecting API exchanges for deposit/withdrawal of cryptocurrencies to a large number of wallets.
3. Transferring tokens from wallet to wallet(s) and back.
4. Using personal RPC, connection of notifications in Telegram after each action (for example, you are withdrawing a token from the exchange and set a random delay after each withdrawal and you need to know whether the token was withdrawn or the exchange API rejected the withdrawal - sometimes it happens).
5. Swaps on popular DEXs.
6. You can bridge tokens from one network to another using their app.

I'm sure I haven't described everything as I haven't fully mastered the app yet.

Next, I plan to import my EVM wallets..... oh, yes! I forgot to mention about importing and exporting wallets - if you, like me, still have a farm of EVM wallets on which you make activities for drops (e.g. in Base network), you can easily import wallets into the application and make tasks to warm up wallets, as I plan to do now.

This is a beta version of the app, I talked to the developers and they said that they have been working on the app for half a year and they are not going to stop. According to them they use the app every day and in the future they plan to develop a whole ecosystem around Kozel. To be more precise, they have already started, there are two other software of their production, which they use together in Kozel. If anyone is interested, you can find out which software they are talking about. I'm thinking of following their example and doing the same.

All in all, a very useful software for crypto enthusiasts who want to save their time and automate everything they used to do by hand. I will write here about useful things for crypto!
Beautiful language - feels like Rust with sparkle of OCaml with TypeScript ease of use.

It's by Hongbo Zhang of Bloomberg's BuckleScript fame (used by Reason/ReScript) – he knows what he's doing together with the team it seems.

Thank you for opening first core libraries and recently compiler itself.

I'm voting with two hands for this initiative to create open and sustainable ecosystem around language.
I'm both hopeful and skeptical about that kind of thing.

On one hand I think one of the smartest things you can do is look at things from the widest perspective in time and space (I told somebody once that "I'd like to be somebody that someone from 3000 years ago could understand")

On the other hand many of those programs are pushed by people who are closed minded.

When it comes to philosophy the likes of Plato, Aristotle and Socrates can still come across as really fresh. As much as you might hear about Euclid's Elements if you self-study math, I think Elements is a complete waste of time in 2024.

I made a journey from being an anime fan to a sinophile and lately I've been meditating on how the Asian collection at my Uni is one of the largest in the US but is dwarfed by the National Library of China. Important works are not in translation or the translations are poor. Books on Chinese mythology in English don't even agree on who the important figures are, it's like you get one book on the Greek myths that never mentions Hercules and another that mentions Apollo.

The more I learn about the sinosphere the more I realize just how ignorant I am. Western "Great Books" are great don't get me wrong but they only tell you part of the story.
GoLang assembly boggles my mind - I understand why it's there, but having looked at it few times makes me wonder if it could've been prevented somehow (I guess not, cryptographic primitives would be way too slow, redirecting them through some kind of ffi would require a shared lib, yada yada yada)...
TB rates plunge when families living in poverty get a monthly cash payout
When I was deciding whenever to keep the kid or not when my girlfriend got pregnant I realized that all the things I couldn't do with kid I wasn't doing anyway, because I wasn't motivated and focused, and ironically, later when I got a kid I did lots of those things after all. Having someone who depends on you makes you focus on what matters. I mean you can always be a lying ass but if you're even remotely honest and have a bit of shame, starting a family is amazing accountability method.
It's a volunteer organization. They all have the exact same problem because they don't actively select their members.
The traffic would obviously be encrypted. Obviously.
Finding inputs where deep learning models fail
Hi there! Last month at NeurIPS (an ML conference), I read an interesting paper "Human Expertise in Algorithmic Prediction" that describes a framework for determining where ML models are outperformed by human experts. I found the authors' work to be very interesting. Below, I explore their framework further and extend it to multiclass classification. My results are pretty surprising, showing that a group of modern model architectures have trouble with dogs and cats in CIFAR-10.

> "Workers are being paid prisoner wages - outrage!"

As I understand it, in a number of US states workers are being paid prisoner wages.

However regular workers aren't locked up in a prison and don't have to eat prison food. On the down side, they might have to pay for their own health insurance.
They are paid. In money saved by not hiring childcare or a housekeeper. What is generally required here is honest recognition which we have a problem quantifying if not financially, thus this concept exists.

Now if women were paid fairly in the workforce, there would be no reason to do housework. They would be able to afford to hire out the housework.
My conjecture is that you still haven't proven that it didn't get the answer "right"

I have opened the question of why you thought jenever was not jenever, and your non-responsiveness I think compels the fact that AI was more correct in your contrived instance.
> The general idea seems to be that it is more beneficial to a society if criminals are given a viable avenue to lead non-criminal lives again, with the alternative being people going "ah fuck it, I guess I'm a criminal now".

It really boggles my mind that so many people have difficulties understanding this concept, and prefer it when the general public wants blood. Peed in public? Capital punishment it is.

This is mostly a proof of concept that this is possible at all, and as LLMs get smarter it’ll be interesting to see if the quality automatically improves. For now, the tool is really only useful for very specific or personal questions that wouldn’t already exist on YouTube.
The law doesn't say that at all. They're not allowed to perform law enforcement _functions_. There's nothing that prevents them from /training/ to do so.
The DiskOnChip was a somewhat popular solution (think of thinclients), often running stripped down versions of Linux in the early 00s.

It's easy to forget how far north Europe is! The daytime vs nighttime hours is so much more extreme there. The Netherlands is on the same latitude as Newfoundland in Canada.

Idk which was worse in my experience, the one with basic nonsense or the one who prescribed me SSRIs after a short talk. I quit by myself after a couple of months and will never touch this crap or walk into his office again.
A Timeline of Suspected Baltic Sea Sabotage Incidents
Why is that useful? To me it sounds like society’s law followers would be taking risk to the benefit of the criminal. I think certain crimes that are petty - like traffic violations or whatever - sure reintegration makes sense. But burglaries, robberies, assault, murder, etc - I think keeping them jailed is probably best for everyone.
Tell this to the people who bought Fisker cars. Designs that require systems to stay online are likely to end in obsolescence while the can opener I bought in 1993 still works great.
What Lois Lowry Remembers
Some of the Tandy 1000 computers (such as the HX) had MS-DOS 2.11 in ROM. So it's not unheard of for an IBM-Compatible PC to have an operating system in ROM.

Also the "Macintosh Classic" had System 6.0.3 in ROM as well, but you had to use a keyboard shortcut to boot from there. It did not run normally.
> You'd prefer to be one with none of the resources?

Look at actual societal collapses. The starting position of the resources within the map is almost irrelevant.
Everything you listed as options to do are also available now, yet people still choose to stay home and look at their devices. Pedantry for pedantry sake is just boring

They don't have to actively cultivate it but they should remove the walls between it. There's a lot of red tape/administrative confusion at most schools if you want to do anything interdisciplinary, especially if you want to cross more than two disciplines. Institutions should be more like buffets for the polymath. If I want to interlink say landscape architecture, sculpture, acoustics, materials science and biology I shouldn't need more than one signoff much less the 5 it would probably take to do work in something like that at most universities.
The Lib Dems are not considered left-wing. Growing parts of the UK left do not consider Labour left-wing any more, for that matter.

The Evaporative Cooling Effect in Social Networks (2010)
You mean the 701? 207g isn't a model of eeepc.
Good points. And as you note, the punishment is (or should be) being deprived of one's freedom, not being mistreated in prison.

It occurs to me that prisoners are usually exempt from child support payments (for example), but it might be better if they could actually contribute.
> suspect you're classifying the Trump assassins as right-wing nutjobs

No. Of course we've had left-wing terrorism. It's just not been as prevalent, organised or present as the right-wing form. (And I'm aware of zero currently-operating left-wing militias anyone considers a threat in America.)
You must have low standards then. This is something that anyone can do. It's like making a hammer from scratch with iron you dug up from an old mine. I mean how innovative is that really?
Nice, but I don't want pictures in signature. Can I turn them off? Thanks!
Execs go through the promo process too. And also, some execs will sign off on projects that they know are bad but will make for good promo material for them and their reports.
Few weeks ago I saw this project on GitHub, and on Christmas received from them presents as tester role.

Yes, the application can be functional, there are interesting features with withdrawal and customizable playground. well, and it is clear that there is still room for development there
I submitted this because it finally framed why the first startup I joined where we went full in on microservices with no thought about how they’d communicate and how it’d be orchestrated failed. And it had to be rewritten and the solution was a monolith.

No, execs do not sign off on every feature. Even at medium size (2000+ employees say) there is far more output being produced than could possibly be signed off by an exec team.
- Wake up around 10am, quick breakfast that wife prepared.
- Play with the kiddo and help wife around the house.
- Leave for work anywhere between 1 and 4 pm.
- 15-30min commute, audio book or just thinking time since I'm driving, pickup lunch for the day if wife didn't pack anything.
- Office, work on administrative tasks before 9-5
- 6pm get online and join the daily with remote team
- 2 am finish work, make last tea for the day, clean the office, work on side project
- 3:40am drive home
- 4am go to bed
So in other words, whether or not you call it misleading, Labour has a massive problem, as replacing the historically unpopular Corbyn only caused Labour to increase 1.6 percentage point over the historically bad 2019 election.

No UK PM in modern times have had as little electoral support.
> I hate the journalists pretending that ML is regurgitating facts instead of just random tokens.

They aren't claiming that what the AI said was fact. It seems your hate comes from lack of understanding.

I don't want to stoke panic about violence, but the fact is anything that you do that's prepper-adjacent is something you should do anyway:

1. prep your residence in can't you can't leave for days on end - something you should do to prepare for h5n1.

2. stock a bug out bag: most of you are in range of wild fires. So you need to do it.

The Edge of Sentience: Risk and Precaution in Humans, Other Animals, and AI
Web workers are great for local compute and isolation. Unfortunately it's a hassle managing sane pooling because different platforms have different worker limits.

On the other hand, the isolation guarantees are strong. There aren't really any footguns. Messaging is straightforward, works with a lot of data types and supports channels for inter-worker communication.
Rant about finishing personal engineering projects [video]
I worked with the author at Corona Renderer; guy's a genius, no sweat.
There's a difference between "Create polymaths from scratch" or "Create a polymath degree" (oxymoron, honestly) and just "Let's have a learning environment that allows it".
Have you tried Ghidra yet? If you still have your debug symbols, then it can do a really good job.
The best way to save the planet would be to engineer a virus that kills people effectively and doesn't jump into other species. Any rules or regulations will be fought by oligarchs (who due to campaign finance have complete control of the US government) and chipped away until they get the coal burning 24 hour free labor environment of the Victorian era again.
Lots of crap too as well as stuff that is hard to characterize.

I like this guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Badiou

who basically plays the same game as Derrida. Except Derrida plays it very sloppily even if you might blame yourself for not understanding it because he is analyzing a difficult text in German in French and now you're reading a bad translation in English.

Badiou on the other hand will mash up Marxism with difficult problems in math such as the Continuum Hypothesis. Unlike Derrida there's no doubt that he really understands the math and he did the hard work with the precision of continental analytic philosophy. He irritates many of the people who are irritated by Derrida for the same reasons except at the level of details Badiou is impeccable which would all the more infuriating if somebody tries to engage with it in order to refute it.

(Funny I found Badiou's concept of singulation to be very relevant to ontology in computing, particularly the distinction between individuals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(programming_language)) and categories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language) in Wikipedia, particularly given that something can be an individual and a category at the same time... Which twists systems like OWL into knots.)
Prepare everything you need for the next day. Have clear actionable steps. What can't be finished in the work session gets discarded and broken down into simpler things for next work session. In few weeks you will get _very_ good at preparing and breaking down tasks. Always leave work in a ready to work on state, don't leave hairy tricky problems behind.

I leave my pc on in the office, with ide and terminal and everything open 24/7 .
Productivity in knowledge work is not difficult to measure, just very laborious. A few aspects need to be untangled to do it, though.

Goodhart's law [1] is an adage often stated as, "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". It is named after British economist Charles Goodhart, who is credited with expressing the core idea of the adage in a 1975 article on monetary policy in the United Kingdom: Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes.

Having bots have their own profiles authentically engaged as themselves would have been pretty interesting (and I suspect successful).

Quality over quantity perhaps? Can't see why you'd want _more_ than about 3-5 sources returned each time. Anything more is information overload and defeats the purpose of being able to vet the claims in a timely manner.

Show HN: DebateAI – Practice Debating Against an AI Opponent
I built DebateAI, an interactive platform where you can practice and improve your debating skills by engaging in real-time debates with an AI opponent.

Key Features:
- Real-time AI responses that challenge your arguments (powered by a fine-tuned GPT-based
model)
- Voice input support for natural conversation flow across devices
- Structured debate format with timed turns
- Topic selection with AI taking opposing stances
- Performance tracking and personalized feedback
- Google/Email authentication
- Why I Built This:

While there are many platforms for learning public speaking or writing, I found very few options for practicing debate skills in a low-pressure, interactive environment. DebateAI fills that gap, offering immediate feedback and challenges to enhance argumentation and critical thinking.

Tech Stack:
- React frontend with Tailwind CSS
- Real-time speech recognition
- RESTful API integration
- JWT authentication
- Responsive design

Try it out: https://debateaif.onrender.com/

I'd love your feedback on:
1. The debate experience and quality of AI responses
2. Voice input functionality
3. Additional features you'd like to see
4. Performance and UX improvements

This is my first major project combining AI with educational tools. It was inspired by my own journey to improve debate skills. Looking forward to your thoughts!
most of the problems in ones life have external causes

Most mental issues have internal or behavioral causes. Therapy addresses your ideas about the real world, not the real world itself. For example, it can enable a choice never seen as possible before, and while the real world stays the same, your position in it may change to something unthinkable before.
Only if you - unlike most people in the UK - consider the Lib Dems, who have governed in coalition with the Tories - as a left-wing party. Something most of the UK left, and quite a lot of Lib Dems would find mutually offensive.
