Not really related to the above post, but one thing I am not seeing on an initial pass is the advancement of understanding of problems like riddled or wada basins.

Especially with time delays this and 3+ attractors this can be problematic.

A simple example:

https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1088857/v1

There are tools to try and detect these features that were found over the past few decades, and I know I wasted a few years on a project that superficially looked like a FP issue, but ended up being a mix of the wada property and/or porous sets.

The complications will describing these worse than traditional chaos indeterminate situations may make it inappropriate for you.

But it would be nice if visibility was increased. Funny enough most LLMs corpus is mostly fed from a LSAT question.

There has been a lot of movement here when you have n>=3 attractors/exits.

Not solutions unfortunately, but tools to help figure out when you hit it.

"GDP measures everything except that which is worthwhile"
I was talking to a sales person at Research in Motion back when Blackberry and mobile enterprise email were hot; asked him how things are. He replied it was like selling oxygen, he would walk in and take an order for how many they wanted. Every RIM salesperson looked like an amazing sales person based on sales metrics.

Also the inverse is true. A great sales team can disguise a mediocre product team.
Sorry I meant it costs the same as southern cali. Sure there are cheap pockets. If you don’t mind not having reliable electricity. Visit first. You’ll see. Also: do some research on what the us government takes from your retirement if you expatriate. Eye opening.
Information asymmetry has never played such a large role in income inequality as it does today.

I’m really hoping people are empowered to use these artificial intelligence systems to level the playing field. No idea what the likelihood of this is to happening though.
Awesome! Glad to see more exploration in this space. I too am exploring this, though i am perhaps making it yet even more complicated. I want to represent relationships between AST nodes in a visual way. Eg, i love Node editors in Blender and if it was given a good keyboard based UX i could imagine editing structural code in it.

I still imagine the code would be visually text, but i'm imagining that you'd be able to see a series of nodes in a code flow graph for your current editing context.

I figure AST editing (to some degree) is a generally good thing, but also representing code flow somehow is also a desired thing. It's what i do in my head, so can it be visualized in a beneficial way?

Difficult to say. Keyboard first will also be a challenge as i'll need to have a lot of intelligent alignment and visual compression.

Thanks for the post! Love to see work in this space.
The secret has always been frozen chopped spinach. Absurdly cheap, doesn't go bad, blends/melts away into EVERYTHING! (Pasta, soups, beans for tacos, whatever).

Your leap that lack of exposure, maybe even lack of capability, to writing high quality software precludes being aware of varying degrees of software quality is curious, and frankly unrealistic. In reality, Johnny Startup knows full well what tradeoffs he is making. Top quality software is not a priority concern of his, but he understands that it can be for other people. He is under no illusions that safety-critical software, for example, is written like a line-of-business MVP. And vice verse. Especially given the context of people participating in communities like HN where software quality is a regular topic. We are not talking about people living under rocks, as they say. It is effectively impossible for one to not have that awareness.
Ulster Bank notes are some of the few notes in the world that are portrait in orientation, probably doesnt help with the acceptance of them elsewhere in the UK
The comments here are depressing, especially coming from a forum that hypes unprofitable and niche companies competing against larger "profitable" and "popular" companies.

By the logic here us programmers should never work for startups and work only for the Big Tech companies because, frankly, they pay far far better and much more stable.

By the logic here you shouldn't found companies because it's too niche. You can "make more money" being a senior product manager for Big Tech.

By the logic here we all should move to New York and go into Finance because it pays more than Tech.

And to really hammer the point home, by the logic here nobody should play High School sports or on a A/AA Farm Teams, the very farms of mediocrity that, once in a while, produce genuine greatness that go on to the AAA circuit.

Be careful disparaging niches and unprofitability because that argument can and will be made against you too.
What Makes a Good Automated Test?
Milk cows are not generally used for meat. That is a different breed of cows. Milk cows almost never have male offspring - with AI we can control to ensure only female calf's are born (IIRC this is about 97% accurate so a few males are born). A few great milk producing mothers will be given sperm that is male only thus ensuring enough bulls to provide fathers and improving genetics for the next generations.
yeah big +1 to this. People are obsessed with automation, but doing a bit of manual work for stuff like budgeting and project management actually really helps cement it mentally I think (a bit like hand writing lecture notes, etc).

Spreadsheet + Pivot table is all you need in many cases.

It’s tautologically the case that these are new tools under constant improvement.

The fact that these tools have extremely weird and new to the world interfacial quirks is what the discussion is about…
I made no claims about other countries. I forwarded only the claim that the U.S. treats disability as a failing.

Let's start with various cognitive disabilities -- depression, for instance, is heavily stigmatized. Seeking medication and therapy, and especially talking about medication and therapy, is considered awkward and uncomfortable in most circles.

Or ADHD, which causes a whole range of executive functioning failures - inability to focus, manage schedules, etc. Yet we make access to diagnosis and medication very difficult, and workplaces often fail to accommodate people.

On the physical disability front, one of the easiest and fastest things we can do is add alt text to images, yet even "progressive" places struggle to do this. In fact, a coffee company just sued for the right to not have to provide an accessible website, trying to undermine the ADA's protections of digital spaces.

But don't take my words for it, there are many resources online that are worth reading:

Disability and access to health care: https://fisafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Access...

People with disabilities experience higher rates of exclusion: https://www.urban.org/research/publication/four-ten-adults-d...

By the same logic, because Bluesky has a child predator problem everyone on Bluesky is one.

But the example you gave doesn't counter my point of the worst facist/nazi being watered down to that it doesn't have any weight anymore, if anything it supports it.

Show HN: I Built a Web-Based Alternative to Screen Studio for Smooth Zooms
Hey, everyone!

I’ve been working on a web-based tool that I believe will be super helpful for anyone who needs smooth, dynamic zooms in their videos. You might have heard of Screen Studio, which allows you to add zoom effects, but I wanted to create something that’s easy to use, super fast, and works entirely in the browser, not just macOS.

So, I built Zoomify Studio, where you can simply record your screen or just upload your video, create stunning zoom transitions, and export your enhanced video, right from your Browser.

Key Features:
* 100% Browser-Based: No downloads or installs required. Just open your browser, upload your video, and start zooming.
* Smooth Zoom Transitions: Create cinematic zoom effects to highlight key points or focus on details in your videos.
* Highly Customizable: Control the zoom intensity, point in video and duration. Make your zooms as subtle or dramatic as you need.
* Video Cutting: Easily cut your video into sections, remove unwanted parts, and keep only the best content.

Who’s This For?
* Indie Hackers who want to create magnetic and engaging product demos that captivate their audience and highlight key features in their products.
* Content Creators looking for a fast and easy way to add professional-looking zoom effects and cut their videos.
* Educators and Trainers who need to zoom in on key points in instructional videos or presentations and trim the content for better focus.

I’ve designed Zoomify Studio to be as user-friendly as possible. It’s intuitive, with a simple interface, so you can start editing right away without a steep learning curve. You can preview your zoom effects and cuts in real-time and make adjustments until it’s just right.

Your feedback and suggestions are always appreciated, especially since I’m still working on some additional features and improvements.

>TBH, that's why I try Wayland for about 20 minutes every 3 months and bounce off

You lasted longer than me. I tried it once for 10 minutes and went back to X. I never looked back. I dread the day X is no longer supported. I think that will happen once Red Hat (IBM) and/or freedesktop.org forces Mozilla to support only Wayland.
You are correct. The reason is that neither has any compassion, to this very day.

OTOH, either system could be structured to be based upon compassion, if the people in charge made the choice to do so. Any human system could be altered to incorporate compassion into its motivations and mechanisms.

I'm a fan of fettered capitalism with socially-conscious citizens, but that requires the wealthy, middle class, and poor to be compassionate. What is important is to internalize the currently external costs corporations impose upon the environment and populace to make their profit.

For now, it's 'by the wealthy for the wealthy', no matter which system is dominant, no matter which religion is in power, no matter which ethnicity to ruling class represents. That is because compassion is sorely lacking in this world's peoples, especially its rulers.

The rest seems to be theorizing with no empirical evidence
Well - while Apple has made rough starts in the past (Maps on iOS devices comes to mind) - they do have a solid track record.

Having used "smart devices" since the Apple Newton 2.0 days, followed by Windows Mobile, a very brief Android excursion (Motorola Milestone - early enough Android that I was often frustrated trying to copy/paste text between apps), then another side-pivot into Windows Phone for awhile (mainly because the development was incredibly easy - and Microsoft gave me a free one), I have been in the iOS mobile phone ecosystem ever since the iPhone 6.

And - the software has gotten increasingly better over time - I wouldn't have (for me) alot of content/subscribers on TikTok, if iMovie on my phone did not exist - attempting to edit videos using OpenShot was taking forever (While I have Davinci Resolve installed, it seems "daunting" for someone who doesn't want to be a professional videographer/editor).

But then I tried iMovie "Magic Movie" on my phone and ... "it just works". Still not great for long-form YouTube style content, but for quick things, slice-of-life videos - it does the job rather well.

... I expect that Apple will improve these AI offerings dramatically over the next couple of years as people upgrade their devices.
What is up with all these sound generators recently?
That being said, nice sounds and nice layout
Um. I follow you but that's a pretty huge stretch, considering that nothing in the paper is inconsistent with the conventional reading (that the machine is to imitate a person). There are sentences that are consistent with other readings, but none that's inconsistent with the usual one.

I think we (tech workers) have seen this for a while. The tech bubble was real - surely we all noticed this at the time - and it stands to reason that a correction is well past due.

But now, there are anecdotes of other sectors being hit as well.

Note that all of this is "working as intended." The way the fed manages inflation generates unemployment to knock out high salary workers and keep wages down. The target unemployment rate is not zero.
> I don't get why Apple fans have this obsession with pretending Apple invents these things.

This is the famous "reality distortion field" you may have heard of. It's basically a form of tribalism taken to an absurd level.
Ok. Lowering a huge tower to the ground pretty silly. How about designing the array at the top as a platform that could be lowered. Too much extra weight/cost?

Oh, related in this space: https://mbuffett.com/posts/structured-editing-syntax/

I thought this blog post had an interesting idea too. Basically that a structural editor which truly knew the underlying AST could then alter the visual representation of the code entirely. Eg changing it to look like Python, or whatever insane thing.

Not advocating for that of course, but the idea that the editor could be effectively transpiling the code in real time is an interesting area to explore too. I imagine not for the purpose of "Write Python that becomes Rust" or w/e, but just in general customizing the experience. Perhaps reducing clutter, /shrug
Day 3: How to Implement Rate Limiting Without Any Third-Party Libraries
$400 a tonne CO2 tax ($4 on a gallon of gas) is enough to modify behavior and encourage real CCS. This could be rebated to consumers (everybody gets a $6500 check a year) to make it revenue neutral. Two problems:

(1) A legitimacy gap. People think taxation is on ratchet and wouldn't trust it to be revenue neutral and not a money grab.

(2) It's a global problem. If there is a carbon tax in the US and no carbon tax in China that's unfair for our manufacturers. People will complain about the fairness of any particular rebating scheme inside the US, but there will always be much worse complaints about a system which embraces all nations from Luxembourg to Burundi.
Paul meant his comment in the sense that that is a good way to START -- but then you have to figure out how to SCALE it.

I think what you'd find as you scaled it is that you'd turn into ConAgra.
Seems to be solved now!
Yes, I’m really worried about what exactly? The places where cash are feasible to be used - in person transactions - aren’t the places where I would worry about government funding out what I’m doing.

Yes I know about regressive states and tracking women who might be pregnant to “protect the unborn”.
Looks convenient! Do you plan to add binary?
Congress being unwilling to draft legislation does not transfer the job of drafting legistion to appointed officials in the executive branch.

Congress is the government for this purpose, and if you want the government to do something, then you need to target your concerns at your representatives in Congress, and not just make up novel methods for creating "laws" outside the actual lawmaking process.
Goodhart's law suggests that no fixed set of measures will suffice, but what about a dynamic or a set of complementary measures that periodically switch? Spend 3-6 months optimizing for X, then spend 3-6 months optimizing for some property complementary to X. Like having metrics that focus on new features, then bug fixes, then new features, etc. Or new features, bug fixes, refactoring/maintenance, new features, bug fixes, etc.

Selecting the set of good and complementary metrics requires careful thought and experimentation, but it might prevent gaming over the long term because the complementary measures of the second phase should make up for deficiencies in the primary measures in the first phase. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
That's pretty cool! I am impressed by the Frida tool, especially to read in the binary and dump it to disk by overwriting the native method.

The author only mentions APK for Android, but what about iOS IPA? Is there an alternative method for handling that archive?
I agree with the others, the signup made me bounce immediately.

Early on I heard the k8s controller ecosystem described as “a half dozen concurrent `while true` loops all fighting with each other.” Can’t say I disagree.
Whenever I have a chart in Grafana that isn't too dense, I almost always add a line for the 7d offset value. Super useful to tell what's normal and what isn't.
You're not old enough to be an easy and profitable mark. Telemarketers judge by the name in the phone book how old the person on the other end is. Why would they waste their time with you when they can scam thousands from elderly who are trained to worship any "authority" on the phone?
I mostly agree.

> an even number is equivalent to reapplying the ‘twice’ rule many times

I never heard that extension and in my opinion is a bad idea. One nice property of the Einstein summation notation is that you can reorder the tensors(with their index), and the result does no change. If you allow 4x repetitions this is not valid).

---

Also, a nice property of tensors written in paper is that you can write the index as subscripsts or superscripts to remember how they change when there is a base change. You can only colapse a subscripst with a superscript, so the result of the operation does not depend on the choice of the base. (It would be very nice that Python can remember and check this too to avoid silly error.)
That's true—the actual IME is much more flexible than this.

My point is more that this isn't really anything new. It's a fairly common way to Romanize Japanese in practice, even though it doesn't strictly follow Hepburn or Nihon-shiki. In fact, this style seems to be more widely used in the Western "fandom" world—on platforms like AniDB, Danbooru, and others—than the two "official" systems.
aren't they the same thing? YOu query your RAG database first and pass that info along with your prompt? At least that's how I saw it done on youtube.

I’d be interested to see stats on how many are Americans.

> a lot of the stuff he sold was not actually something we offered or necessarily knew how to do

This may not be the situation but I’m willing to bet he created an insane amount of chaos for everyone else by doing this. Existing projects constantly getting delayed or cancelled because he sold something that wasn’t planned for.

At my last job, we had a department who delegated all of their quarterly goals to the development team. They made us responsible for accomplishing their goals on top of everything else we were doing.

They delayed critical projects for years for marginal gains.
Microsoft Bing is trying to spoof Google UI when people search Google.com
I've been so picky over the years and tried so many different services, but I always ended up back in a spreadsheets. Infinite configurability, but more manual.

That said, I found a middle ground about six months ago. The spreadsheet tracks the budget, brokerage contributions, statistics, and savings (think monthly money being set aside for yearly payments and such), and then I use Monarch Money for tracking transactions.

Manually tracking my transactions in the spreadsheet was just so tedious and having Monarch handle that via Plaid and the three-ish other services that fill the same space has been nice.

One issue I have that isn't the fault of any app or service is that there are still plenty of banks that don't support OAuth for reading data. The big ones I use all support it no problem, but my primary, smaller (not tiny) bank and even Discover want you to use your _same_ username and password along with a checkbox in the settings to "allow third party access". They don't tell you what is limited via that third party access either, so I can't tell if it allows read-only when there's no MFA involved or what. In those cases, I still manually input transactions, but it's the vast minority of my transactions.

Monarch will give you notifications for transactions, overages on budgets, etc, but I bet any half decent service will do the same at this point.
I wish they'd sort out the rendering of road names (and this isn't specific to Apple, mind) - they're still seemingly stuck in the olden times rules for rendering street names ("only put a road name if the road is wide enough and only every N inches and starting at M inches from a junction") rather than "can we put a road name on this road that's visible on screen without it going over something else?" which would be 500% more useful.
