Quick question: Your site mentions using Claude 3.5-Sonnet for translating sentences. On average, how much inference cost does each user typically incur?

I love this idea, but it feels very anathema to the current K-10 education system at minimum, if not all the way to 12. The entire system is highly authoritative, e.g. "read this textbook and regurgitate the 'right' answer back to us." I'm not even saying that critically, I'm just pointing out what a radically different model it would be to start from an epistemological viewpoint.
Question is, can you have a super thin layer that gives you the reactivity we all crave and don’t want to reimplement in vanilla ourselves without using legacy tech React.

In a way, it’s depressing that the thing that holds developer minds hostage gets even more hold over devs, because the frickin AI knows it best.

Just a reminder: React was created as a not-a-framework-but-a-view-library but everybody writes React apps, not JS apps.
Good. For a couple of seconds, I feared something like "The next step of our wonderful journey...".
That may or may not be the case (see https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/) but the fact remains that jQuery is used on 75% of all public websites.

But that still doesn't disable it. I can type in "cos(23 deg) =" and it will autocomplete it, even though I have "Show inline predictive text" disabled. I can post a screencast if anyone would like.
Depends on who you're talking to.

There are many indigenous communities that now have water that are better off than before he was PM.

Speaking for myself I think things in 2019 were better than 2015. The pandemic and things after the pandemic (hi inflation and spiking interest rates) have not been quite so fun but these are global issues and people around the world have had a similar experience. Arguably there is more Trudeau could have done but some things are beyond his reach (eg. Bank of Canada sets interest rates).

If you're a person without an established home you own you probably feel things are disastrously worse than 2015 when you presumed that surely eventually you'd own one. If you already own a home you probably care quite a bit less.

Housing was deeply dysfunctionally broken in the major cities well before Trudeau became PM in 2015 and the lazy status quo approach of his government ensured that the contagion of housing shortage would spread Canada wide. It's mostly Provincial and Municipal governments that are at fault but plenty of fault for the feds too. Despite the fact that Fed housing policy right now is better than it's ever been the damage has been done.
To some extent this is how many models are being produced today.

Basically its just a synthetic loop of using a previously developed SOTA (was) model like GPT-4 to train your model.

This can produce models with seemingly similar performance at a smaller size, but to some extent, less bits will be less good.

This isn't an announcement of a project. This is more a statement of their philosophy and what they are doing. This is targeted towards people familiar with the project.
This is another place where I think technologists miss the forest for the trees. You're looking the outputs and results looking for a middle ground, but misunderstanding the problem of generative AI in art is the act of creation itself.

People don't generally take issue with tools that automate or make their jobs easier, even if it may reduce the value of the output. However if the tools limit what they can create themselves and make it difficult to fix or fine tune when something is not how they envision things in their mind before creating it, then they're not good tools. Even worse are the tools that take away their ability to create at all.

Really I think what technologists don't understand about art is that in engineering tools are a means to an end and only the outputs matter. If you can get a program to spit something out and say "look, isn't that good enough?" you have missed the entire point of art.

> Canada might not be a two-party system

I prefer the term: two-party state
> "The deep" are people with strong conceptual understanding of the problems to which they are applying AI and/or strong understanding of the AI itself. They will use AI to create things that didn't exist before. They will take seriously the risk management (although, they will still not be able to successfully predict all unintended consequences).

Why would these people not just skip the AI part entirely, then?
One of my big issues with J.T. is his massive waste of money on gun control. The vast majority of guns used in crimes in Canada are illegal guns from the US, with most being hand guns.

The Liberals under J.T. has proposed a ban on assault style weapons (not assault weapons, mind you which are already banned) that so far has cost over $70M without guns being collected. The estimate cost is over $800M to collect them.

The last time we had a gun control fantasy was also under the Liberals. They proposed a long gun registry that they estimated would cost $2M a year. By the time it was cancelled 20 years later, the total cost was over $2B.

Every study done on the topic of “people judging the stupidity of other people” always proves this comment incorrect.

With or without AI, we have always thought we are of wildly above average intelligence and that “all the other people are brain dead zombies.”

This is just a classic human bias since we don’t ever experience what goes on inside anyones head but ours.

Everything is going to be just fine.
Ok, I agree to be honest. I shouldn't have said peacefully, but rather without the emergency powers hammer.

In fact, the federal government tried appeasement whereas the provincial government was more brutal.
> since there's no authoritative, authenticated unique name system across indices

Domains provide a globally unique namespace and ownership can be verified automatically with domain validation. Bluesky did an ok job of it, but they didn't do anything to account for domain ownership changes and re-validation is non-existent, which is disappointing to see from the first big adopter since the oversight will eventually invite criticism.

I've wanted domain validated namespaces for 5+ years. Here's a comment I made about using domain validated namespaces in package managers a couple of years ago [1]:

---

I think one possible solution to that would be to assume namespaces can have their ownership changed and build something that works with that assumption.

Think along the lines of having 'pypi.org/example.com' be a redirect to an immutable organization; 'pypi.org/abcd1234'. If a new domain owner wants to take over the namespace they won't have access to the existing account and re-validating to take ownership would force them to use a different immutable organization; 'pypi.org/ef567890'.

If you have a package locking system (like NPM), it would lock to the immutable organization and any updates that resolve to a new organization could throw a warning and require explicit approval. If you think of it like an organization lock:

v1:

pypi.org/example.com --> pypi.org/abcd1234

v2:

pypi.org/example.com --> pypi.org/ef123456

If you go from v1 to v2 you know there was an ownership change or, at the very least, an event that you need to investigate.

Losing control of a domain would be recoverable because existing artifacts wouldn't be impacted and you could use the immutable organization to publish the change since that's technically the source of truth for the artifacts. Put another way, the immutable organization has a pointer back the current domain validated namespace:

v1:

pypi.org/abcd1234 --> example.com

v2:

pypi.org/abcd1234 --> example.net

If you go from v1 to v2 you know the owner of the artifacts you want has moved from the domain example.com to example.net. The package manager could give a warning about this and let an artifact consumer approve it, but it's less risky than the change above because the owner of 'abcd1234' hasn't changed and you're already trusting them.

Notice how the “modern” is almost always more verbose than JQuery.

JQuery might as well be a shorthand JS library.
In some (college) classes it does. Some classes are graded on a curve, which means the bottom scoring kids automatically fail, some percentage passes.

The problem with Trudeau's government is he didn't/doesn't consult with provinces very much. They continue to announce programs and initiatives that live in the territory of the provinces without provincial buy in.

If it was one or two provinces you would be correct, but when every province is facing the same issue(s), then the turd starts to stick to the feds... The immigration issue is a prime example, he announced higher than normal targets but didn't consult or work with the provinces about this, which caused many provinces to be taken by surprise and have their social systems overwhelmed by the influx of people. Many of these same systems where still recovering from covid... so yea recipe for disaster.
Neither Freeland nor Carney want to be the next Kim Campbell. The Liberals are going to lose the next election badly whether or not Trudeau is leading it. I'm sure that Trudeau made the decision to step down ~6 months ago and is now just playing with the timing to maximum effect. Stepping down now basically pushes the election three months further out than it would otherwise be due to a prorogation to pick a new leader. That gives Pollievre 3 more months worth of rope and Trump time to sabotage Pollievre.

Yeah... good and useful.
"Cognateful" isn't a word. Please don't make it one. I'm not even sure what it should mean.
Using ChatGPT like this is most likely a symptom, not the problem. An 11 year old is naturally a curious creature and if she's turned her brain off to the point of mindlessly solving her homework like this, there's something very wrong with her environment.
Some hilarious comments on the project page, but I'll repost my favorite

It was quite obvious I was speaking anecdotally.
So the threat of violence against a non violent protest resulted in the non violent protestors being labeled terrorist and justified all the action that followed?
I think the main practical benefit of cognateful sentences is that they can speed up the process of learning a new language
This makes me wonder how train countdown clocks are programmed, and if "1 minute away" means "60-120 seconds away" or "30-90 seconds away".
From your link:

On August 20, a district court issued an order stopping the FTC from enforcing the rule on September 4. The FTC has appealed that decision. The district court’s decision does not prevent the FTC from addressing noncompetes through case-by-case enforcement actions.

Yup. I’ve come across frauds in my work that my lawyers plead with me not to report. I didn’t listen to them once and learned my lesson.
Show HN: Website for sharing Tesla referral links
Hello HN,

in the last months I created a small website for sharing Tesla referral links.

I know that there are many places out there where this can already be done, like reddit, forums or X. But it always felt a little weird, I mean who would scroll down or go to the last page to use a link?

The website is simple, you can submit your own link or use a submitted link. The links are returned randomly.

There are some mechanisms in place to ensure that links are only submitted once and are valid links.

Technically it's a simple .NET Core Web API on a Linux VPS and a simple HTML file with a SSPA. The database is just an SQLite database with one column.

The website is simple, no ads, no cookies, no tracking - except the backend uses Azure Application Insights for request tracking (basic information like which endpoint was called or exceptions).

Since it's not monetized it should comply with the Tesla Referral ToS, although I might double check with a lawyer here.

In the end it's my first side project I kind of finished and got out of the door. Hopefully it provides some value.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Disclaimer: My link is of course the first one and only one, but I hope that more links will be added soon.
Hello, is there an email contact to reach out to?
Weird, I tried "1+1=" before and after and it disabled it for me.

[EDIT] A quirk: I do have to hit "done" on the window before it seems to apply the change, toggling doesn't do it until I hit "done" (I just tried again to double-check and noticed this)

[EDIT 2] Nb I don't not-believe you, we could be on different OS versions (I'm on 15.1) or something else could be causing the difference.
> No New Features as a Feature

No new features is such an underrated feature. It's funny sometimes when people see some Common Lisp or Clojure library with no commits in the last X period of time, and people immediately come to the conclusion that something must be wrong.

In the world of AI tooling, "completed" should have a huge advantage over libraries with lots of churn. Maybe a positive side-effect of new AI tooling is that there will be competitive pressure for libraries to reach a completed, no-new-features state.

Having just went through the process of buying a car, and the amount of work, research and effort needed on my part to ensure that I didn't pay through the nose on a car, this is, in my opinion, squarely in response to the car sales industry almost universally adopting predatory sales tactics.

If I could go into a dealership and trust that everyone in the building wasn't out to get me, and instead wanted to build a longterm relationship with me from sales to service, advertised the actual cost of the vehicle instead of a BS pre-fees, pre-additional markup price, then I wouldn't do that. Perhaps I'm not seeing the whole story, but as I understand it the dealerships changed their behavior first, and the customer _had_ to get more savvy as a result.

You put enough customer predatory sales practices everywhere, and you raise a generation who just doesn't trust sales staff. It doesn't have to be this way though.

I gotta be careful though, I'm dangerously close to getting on my soapbox about how difficult it is to be a sustainable lifestyle business in today's day, and how much I wish a return to that.
It is true that the proprietary player was discontinued years ago, but it is still usable, even on Linux. I installed it through the AUR package on Arch Linux, but it can also be installed on any distribution through the Flatpak package. From my experience though Ruffle has much better performance, so I use it whenever possible.
eval can be disabled at the CSP level, which is much better than at the source level (which can always be obfuscated, missed in a version update, etc)
The non-compete thing never went into effect. A court paused enforcement of the rule.
oo that's wrong. let me check that.

Is this a ChatGPT problem or a family system problem? My child is eight years old and writes significantly better than the writer. Her mom and I value education, reading and writing so we work with her throughout the school year.

If an older sibling writes that poorly, I feel there are other things going on than overreliance on technology. I hope she makes it through this because the world is becoming increasingly hostile to people with poor literacy.

I agree with you that Trump-supporters are both loyal and ruthless. And I think that's mostly a US-internal matter.
I agree with you that in 2024 the Democrats lost fair and square in the sense of not convincing people they were worth voting for.

However, Russia has continued to interfere in US elections including 2020 and 2024.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_20...

I'm not pretending foreign interference only happened in 2016, or only happened when Trump won -- foreign and especially Russian interference has been non-stop because we haven't done anything systematically to stop it. The claimed threat about TikTok is always some vague opportunity for "propaganda". But we can point to many specific cases of Russian interference and misinformation on US-based platforms. The TikTok ban is just not a serious attempt at addressing the "foreign propaganda" problem, and people that make non-specific allegations about propaganda on it without mentioning the very real issues on US-based platforms are being disingenuous.
Nice little post!

I think they provide a quite useful service.

As a seller, they can handle all the visits for you - no need to take calls from potential buyers, arrange times with them to show them the house, etc. This becomes almost indispensable if you live far away from the house you're selling.

As a buyer, they also provide convenience - sometimes I've seen 3 or 4 different apartments in two hours, which would almost certainly be impossible if I needed to contact and arrange time slots with 4 different sellers. They also filter properties with unrealistic prices - I have seen many owners who have massive bias, having grown in the house, etc., and will charge like 100K over reasonable prices. A good realtor would probably not even show you that home or warn you beforehand so you don't waste your time.

In my country, they also help with the bureaucracy associated with actually performing the purchase, which is far from trivial - although this can vary per country, I guess.
it's a good API! and consistent!
Very nice, using the goto trick to perform cleanups always felt dirty to me.

Because that’s a laughably false premise.
This tiktok ban has nothing to do with generic concerns about social media, such as privacy (which I emphatically agree with, FWIW.) It's entirely to do with Tiktok being controlled by a foreign adversary. Facebook has gross privacy issues (and should be regulated) but it's owned and controlled by an American so whatever other concerns we have about it, this tiktok ban isn't remotely intended to cover a company like Facebook.

This is not true in the slightest. Beyond the fact that the government went so far as to buy a pipeline to ensure added capacity for Alberta oil sands development, they've been enormously supportive of LNG development in BC, approving many projects and recently going so far as to give a $500M loan toward a project.

In the future we will maybe need a physical ID (or other sufficiently costly proof) to post a video or file a complaint or do stuff other than consume.

I don't know though, maybe that will prove to be too hard and the bot filled platforms will win. In which case maybe the only way to be safe from the bot armies is to hire a bigger bot army yourself. Fun!

I'm not sure how you could train theory of mind into the capabilities of just LLMs. It seems they would need something more complex than attention based completion/prediction to model it efficiently.

Edit: By more complex I mean more deliberate / directed. Predicting the next word(s) is a concrete goal -- "training" a theory of mind sounds like "training" sentience. Sure... But how?
