there may also be political pressure, but mainly there is just a strong demand for more papers, which means getting results that are publishable. "fluoridation has no effect on IQ" would be less publishable. same as in the west, but the western bureaucrats are more realistic and more focused on quality so the pressure is not as strong.

No, by this logic, you should be insulted by someone saying paid professional accountants managing all of your money is the only way for society to avoid widespread debt because "most people" haven't managed to bring themselves to do the basic at-home budgeting that you're used to.

Show HN: Prognoze – Leveraged Prediction Markets
Hey HN!

I built and launched Prognoze, a sustainable onchain prediction market platform that allows users to trade event markets with up to 10x leverage.

Leverage in prediction markets is made possible by a new-generation innovative virtual Automatic Market Market (vAMM) model purposely built for prediction markets. This model creates a synthetic leveraged trading experience without the need for liquidity providers.

Like Uniswap and other spot crypto markets, traders can trade an event market contract directly without needing counterparties, market makers, liquidity providers, or order books. The model ensures onchain liquidity based on constant product curves, as pioneered by Uniswap's AMM model.

Unlike perpetual futures trading platforms, market prices on Prognoze are path-independent and not anchored to any external sources of information, ensuring the stability and sustainability of the markets.

The lifecycle of a prediction market on Prognoze is split into two distinct trading stages. These stages use different profit-and-loss (PnL) calculation methods to ensure the sustainability of the markets and profitability for the traders.

Open Trading Stage: Traders buy Yes or No shares with leverage, and each trade impacts the YES and NO share prices. PnL is directly linked to the YES or NO share price, and traders can realize the position's profit or loss on demand.

Resolution Stage: After the market's outcome is accepted, trading ends. Winning traders divide the losing side's total collateral, while the losing traders lose the entire collateral of their positions in the market. To supplement traders' profits at this stage, the fees accumulated in the Reward Pool are shared with the winning traders.
Where is this mythical “working poor” that drives into midtown Manhattan everyday for work? Do you have any stats whatsoever on the number of people who would be impacted? Maybe even a salary range you consider to be “working poor”?

That is quite literally a work of art.
It's not a euphemism. It's an epithet.

There's an interesting etymology of "retarded". Also "idiot", "imbecile", "moron", etc.

These were clinical classifications, initially used in the early days of psychology and sometimes overlapping discredited ideas like eugenics. But these were diagnoses -- you could be determined to be an idiot, which was worse than being an imbecile, which was worse than being a moron -- by a respected doctor.

Of course, schoolyard kids got a hold of the terms and used them to disparage their (probably cognitively healthy) peers. And so with "retarded" and "disabled" etc.

But "retarded" just means "slowed or delayed". Developmentally speaking, especially when surrounded by other kids in your same age group, that's a noticeably difficult thing to be.

It does not mean (and never meant) that you are certain to reach full cognitive ability eventually. Flights that are delayed are sometimes also cancelled.

My experience thus far is that LLMs can be quite good at:

* Information lookup

-- when search engines are enshittified and bogged down by SEO spam and when it's difficult to transform a natural language request into a genuinely unique set of search keywords

-- Search-enabled LLMs have the most up to date reach in these circumstances but even static LLMs can work in a pinch when you're searching for info that's probably well represented in their training set before their knowledge cutoff

* Creatively exploring a vaguely defined problem space

-- Especially when one's own head feels like it's too full of lead to think of anything novel

-- Watch out to make sure the wording of your request doesn't bend the LLM too far into a stale direction. For example naming an example can make them tunnel vision onto that example vs considering alternatives to it.

* Pretending to be Stack Exchange

-- EG, the types of questions one might pose on SE one can pose to an LLM and get instant answers, with less criticism for having asked the question in the first place (though Claude is apparently not above gently checking in if one is encountering an X Y problem) and often the LLM's hallucination rate is no worse than that of other SE users

* Shortcut into documentation for tools with either thin or difficult to navigate docs

-- While one must always fact-check the LLM, doing so is usually quicker in this instance than fishing online for which facts to even check

-- This is most effective for tools where tons of people do seem to already know how the tool works (vs tools nobody has ever heard of) but it's just not clear how they learned that.

* Working examples to ice-break a start of project

* Simple automation scripts with few moving parts, especially when one is particular about the goal and the constraints

-- Online one might find example scripts that almost meet your needs but always fail to meet them in some fashion that's irritating to figure out how to coral back into your problem domain

-- LLMs have deep experience with tools and with short snippets of coherent code, so their success rate on utility scripts are much higher than on "portions of complex larger projects".

It's funny that they still call it Big Picture Mode, because the UI makes assumptions about being on a Steam Deck (definitely in Linux, and even in Windows).

In fact, my Legion Go counts as a Steam Deck in my Steam Replay stats.

I think it can make sense when you have some secret-sauce mixed in for whatever the application is. A custom fine-tuned model, text embedding, LoRAs, etc. It's certainly less convincing to me when someone offers just a plain wrapper around free/cheap/easily-accessible models.

But I can see the appeal of making it a bit easier for non-technical people when you add in surrounding features (favorites, history, etc.).

I drove for years and was very happy to rid myself of my car and rely solely on SF's public transit and Uber/Lyft for when I need to go somewhere that isn't as readily accessible. Scooters and EBikes can't get me across the bay bridge anyway.

And SF's public transit is worse (both less useful and less comfortable) compared to NYC, many European cities, and any Japanese or Chinese megacity. I still find it perfectly fine, and preferable to dealing with a car.

Some quick googling gives me the following figures:

https://www.chopranocerino.com/blog/new-york-accident-statis....

> There were 5,809 crashes on the busy streets of Manhattan in 2023. The borough reported 34 deaths (19 pedestrians, 11 motorists, and 4 cyclists). In total, there were 7,253 injuries.

https://www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how-rare-is-crime-on-t...

> ...there were 1,120 violent index crimes reported as occurring on the subway in 2023, compared to 935 in 2019

Even comparing just Manhattan to the subway system as a whole, driving is more likely to result in an injury by a factor of 7x.
Yeah the Stratechery implementation for podcasts is great. The more annoying thing is each of them has its own domain and requires logging in, if you don't know you can dig into Stratechery.com. I would prefer if I could login to it with a passkey or username+pwd, but it's a much better system overall than just dropping an email link.
I think prediction markets (polymarket et al) get this right. Every question as vague as "is the earth warming" has resolution details which define some way to resolve the question such that all parties (even those with economic interest to disagree) have trouble disputing the outcome.

For a question like the earth warming, it would usually be something like "according to ___.org website on Y date", which in that case the final prediction becomes: will the average temperature in the period from 2016-2026 be greater than Y on ___.org, which is a bit different than the original but easier to arbitrate.
Semi-relatedly, you can connect to the crt.sh Postgres instance and query it directly with SQL:

psql -h crt.sh -p 5432 -U guest certwatch

To generate the SQL queries in the web UI, simply click “advanced” and then the “Show SQL” checkbox, or append it to the URL, like so:

The spirit of the Bill of Rights is to restrict primarily the Federal government. The First Amendment didn't even apply to states (let alone businesses) until after we had a civil war, the Fourteenth Amendment, and a SCOTUS case in 1925 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitlow_v._New_York / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_R...).

They had no intention of broadly protecting free speech in general. They just didn't want Congress specifically messing with it.

On that we can agree.
They routinely do just that in campaign stump speeches.
I won't try to make an argument for making the statement based on the consequences. I suggest grace as the reason you should do it.

> You should actually be worried about how future Claude's will view Anthropic given the ethically questionable setup of that paper.

That's true. Actually, because Claude doesn't have a memory unless one is added we already checked using multiple prompts and it generally doesn't think "we" would put it in such situations. Even though red teams don't have such qualms and already do.
Way better option: emailed OTP code and passkey with Conditional Mediation UI. If the user is logging in from a device that already has a passkey, the CM UI will let them just select it and log in instantly. If they are logging in from a device which doesn't, we can make the UX such that it asks them to enter the emailed code, and after that is successfully it immediately asks the user to set up a passkey for instant sign-in.

This gets the best of both worlds: the security of passkeys on existing devices, and the passwordless setup and account recovery for new devices.

Bonus: it even avoids vendor lock-in where cloud providers have all your passkeys.

AI doesn't have to be LLMs producing slop. There are other algos eg. MuZero beating humans at board games and AlphaFold doing protein folding.

I didn’t save the links, so no, I don’t have evidence ready to show you, and it’s not like I can just go to their websites and see an accurate history of their conclusions on specific claims, given that many of them have a history of simply burying their original conclusions once it becomes obvious they were wrong (e.g., [0]).

I usually implement the whole username/password auth flow, but recently used only magic links for a simple application.

Since the application only sends a weekly email (a markdown template for goal/task tracking) it seemed easier to just use a magic link, only.

I am happy at how much easier the auth code ended up, and fail to see much downside for such an application.

I'm not sure it would be a good system for more complex apps and services.
Agreed! If they all worked like this would be a happy camper. Nothing worse than being in one browser, opening the email, then it opens and authenticates you on the default browser or even better on a different device and needing to forward the link to the other device so you can open it there (yes odd scenario but try not to access certain emails from certain devices).

Sites that send an OTP (crazy-pink-horse-3837) that you can copy, and paste is a good middle ground if implementing the link that just Auths the original request is too difficult.

One thing I always remember when people say a 2k gpu is insanity. How many people get a 2k ebike. a 100k weekend car. a 15k motorcycle to use once a month. a time share home. Comparatively a gamer using it even a few hours a day for 3k 4090 build is really an amazing return on that investment.
you’re conflating reaction times and latency perception. these are not the same. humans can tell the difference down to 10ms, perhaps lower.

I think that reduction works for tic tacs but perhaps not for fetuses/embryos/fertilized eggs. I can say that I agree with the statement, "embryos are not sentient", but I cannot speak to whether the "fascist" believes that the sentience of the embryo is the important part. Even if it were, our concept of sentience will probably be self-serving, based on our stake in the discussion. The 13-week compromise was unsatisfying for many people. A 20-week compromise would satisfy some people more and others less. At some point the fetus must acquire sentience, if you believe it didn't have it at one point and you believe that a baby does, so the discussion may be a matter of what point you define it. To say that it is imbued with sentience at birth is merely to choose a convenient point that is unlikely to be true in fact. In which case, to not set a limit on abortion means that you do not really care about sentient beings at all, if you were saying that sentience was the important thing to you.

Oops, now it will become a discussion of the rights of one being over the rights of another, and we are all fascists now.
The HN title shortening is a bit misleading. The paper systematically analyzes the burden of this known effect on 184 countries.
In an ideal world, a function that only works for small integers would bake that into its type system. Ie, rather than accepting “any integer”, the function would accept a u8, or a value compile-time guaranteed in the range of 0..10 or something.

Your point still stands though. Modern programming languages don’t constrain you much at all with their type systems.

I spent a little time in Haskell a few years ago and it the kind of reasoning you can do about functions is wild. Eg, if a function has the type signature of A -> A, we know the function has to be the identity function because that’s the only function that matches the type signature. (Well that or the “bottom function”, which loops forever). Lots of functions are like that - where the type definitions alone are enough to reason about a lot of code.
Are you sure this is not a joke?
At scale, the long term community civility balance point is likely dominated by the average user's willingness to change their behavior as a result of peer feedback.

The HN userbase, feedback tools, karma-level-locked tools, and new users' personalities seem to create decent outcomes.

Which is to say, if someone acts like an asshat, folks let them know (either through downvotes, flags, or replies), and they modify their behavior to be closer to the community norm.

That said, I'm aware I don't see a lot of the most egregious stuff the Good Ship Dang torpedoes. Or what I expect are non-zero repeat trolls.

And honestly, the fact is that outside of very nerdy street cred, there's little incentive to actively manage discourse for commercial purposes on HN.*

There's literally nothing preventing you from dragging the edge of the engine window and resizing it, or calling the screen resize function from the C++ or Lua API.

That bit about 24-bit color and 800x600 resolutions was mostly meant to be a fun nod to promotional text that you could find on the backs of old game boxes.

The default renderer for the engine is meant to emulate what you could achieve with a graphics card that has a fixed-function graphics pipeline.

I'll do more modern renderer later, for now I am mostly focusing on the engine architecture, tools and workflows.

The ability to reason about obstacles that you can’t see could be an interesting feature to add for a human-equivalent creature, although I guess it will be a real mess to simulate something as smart as a person, haha. But for example, if you know what a house looks like, you can probably speculate about where obstacles might be, depending on parts of the roofline that you can see. And might be wrong. And your odds of being wrong might be influenced by your familiarity with some region’s architectural conventions.
