This is one of those obvious ideas, that sounds good on a first glance, but where it's totally non obvious, if it's really profitable in practice.

The maximum power you can take from the grid depends on the max. power of your electrolysers.
But you only want to run the electrolysers, when they are profitable, that is when the electricity prices are low enough due to oversupply.
On the other hand the whole equipment is probably expensive to buy and keep running, so you want to run them as long and often as possible.
Additionally you may use energy storage to prolong the profitable time windows of your electrolysers.

That said, it would be really great, if hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons would be synthesised at scale. There are many pilot projects and I hope one finds the right tech and trade offs to make this profitable.
You're now assuming that I'm a bumbling idiot that thinks everyone before electricity were neanderthal cavemen. Although, I've met plenty of modern people that couldn't hold a flame to a caveman.

The fact that the ancients knew the coming of the seasons and developed their entire society based on what was visible in the heavens just shows how much they did pay attention to it.

There's a thing in story telling called hyperbole. It helps enhance the story by bending the truth just a bit to make the story more interesting and helps get a point across. It is especially useful in oral story telling.

But clearly, we're all bumbling idiots for not getting the minute details exactly right. Good to know. I'm glad you're so intelligent that you've set me straight

It seems like Americans have a knack for coming up with the most convoluted ways of accessing healthcare that are still expensive and inconvenient. Your idea still require paying out of pocket, requires taking unpaid time off work, flights, relying on the healthcare system of a foreign country and more.

That is the worst possible "healthcare" situation I can imagine.

Dozens of countries have shown you pay a lot less and get much better outcomes [1] when you just provide healthcare to everyone all the time, the same way high school, roads and street lights are provided.

Why wouldn't you want that? Why on earth would you think flying to some foreign country is a better solution?

Starlink has been deployed on JSX for almost a year now and I've taken quite a few flights on their Bay Area to LA and Vegas routes. Despite 20 people on the planes, no one has ever been on a video conference, though I could see it becoming an issue with a broader consumer base.
Show HN: I Built an AI Tool That Turns Your Resume into a Job Magnet in Seconds
Here’s what it does:

Customizes resumes in seconds based on job descriptions.
Optimizes for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to ensure resumes actually get seen.
Simplifies the entire application process, saving me hours of work.
Returns a pdf of the updated resume I made with latex and is keyword rich and no fluff.
Welcome to LLM-related threads on HN.
Well, did you check if the AI's claims were correct?

Does PR 1234 actually exist? Did it actually modify the retry logic? Does the token refresh logic actually share patterns with the notification service? Was the notification service added last month? Does it use websockets?
Desktop Brave does, too.
Also, many people don’t remember that those zeros in between numbers in IPs can be slashed, so pinging 127.1 works fine. This is also the reason why my home network is a 10.0.0.0/24—don’t need the bigger address space, but reaching devices at 10.1 sure is convenient!
Absolutely you are 100% correct.

Socialized healthcare is not perfect.

But it is much, much better that what the US has now. Every other developed country spends vastly less and gets much better health outcomes. [1]

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Adopt socialized healthcare now, even though it is imperfect, and then work on improving it as time goes on. That is the path to making stuff better.

I initially had something referencing light pollution, but felt it wasn't as relevant to the point and took it out. When talking to kids, giving them the whole nine yards at every opportunity is overwhelming. Giving them just enough to get the point across is much more effective. Explain once without over explaining, demonstrate, and then let them experience it. Never been a teacher, but it works as a coaching technique that translates well in other areas. Giving too much info that's not relevant verges on mansplaining IMO.

I've never felt that way with uBlock in Firefox for Android. Installed it years ago and don't even need to give it a second thought.
You can absolutely monetize works altered under fair use.
> If this was an evolution in the wild, then thousands, maybe millions, of "almost SARS CoV2" cases should surface after years of search

I question that assumption. Evolution happens in tiny bursts (founder organisms, population bottlenecks, etc) in between which are relatively long periods of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (i.e. periods where evolution is not happening). That's why when we look into the fossil record we're (typically) able classify our findings as one of several stable species, rather than some sort of smooth spectrum in which everything is equally represented a transitional state to something else.

There's a very strong sampling bias where you're much more likely to find an organism in equilibrium and not an individual that was part of whatever transition you're interested in. If this were not the case, the existence of evolution would've been a no-brainer rather than a discovery that biologists had to fight to establish.

In the last 4 years there have been 20 variants of concern, but currently there are only two (https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/variants-concern). So on average these populations only last something like six months before they're outcompeted by a new variant--and that's six months for populations in equilibrium. If you're looking to collect a sample in a non-equilibrium state, it seems likely to me that your window for doing so might only last a few weeks.

So they're looking for the missing link, and they haven't found it yet. But it's not clear how likely they are to ever find it, so the jump from "they haven't found it" to "it was never in nature" is not warranted.

One experiment that could be done, which I think would shed light on the situation, would be sample modern humans in an attempt to find the first variant (discovered in 2019). If we find it easily, maybe we should expect to find its ancestors relatively easily, supposing they're out there (never mind that animals are harder to work with than humans). Then again, it may be extinct, in which case we should probably not hold our breaths about finding its ancestor either.

But sequencing experiments cost on the order of $100-$1000 to do, so neither my proposed experiment nor the quest to find the reservoir species are likely to happen at a scale of

> thousands, maybe millions, of ... cases

Sure, you might get more than one virus per sample, but typically the way to sort that out is to align the reads (typically 100-200 nucleotides long) to a reference genome. It works well when your sample came from one individual with genetically identical cells. I'm not sure how quickly things get murky when you've got a pile of reads from a sample with hundreds or thousands of genetically dissimilar viral particles, plus whatever non-viral DNA ended up in the sample, but I'd be surprised if you could get more than 10 or 20 reliable alignments out of it. Eventually your error bars are going to get too big and you're not going to know which data goes which which sites. I haven't worked with an assay like that before but I'm positive that there are going to be limits to how much you can squeeze out of a single run.
The title is incorrect, and makes the mistake of applying a statistical result with each individual result.

The average improvements across miles driven by waymo are impressive, and definitely indicate that they are, on average, significantly safer than a human driven vehicle.

None of this means that there can't be a human driven vehicle that is safer than a waymo. Only that on average waymo is much safer.
"Making money" does not immediately invalidate fair use, but it does wave a big red flag in the courts' faces.

I re-discovered tempeh a week ago while trying a new recipe (tomato sauce pasta). Then read a bit about it and WOOOW!!!

- great protein source stuffed with fibers, minerals vitamins and probiotics. Your nutritionist and sport coach loves it.

- can be adapted to almost any "salty" recipe, like you’ll do with beaf minces. Sauces, woks, lasagna, soups, burger, pizza, sauerkraut, you name it. Even some desserts.

- intrinsically cheap, doesn’t need tarif or subsidies to make it affordable.

- only two steps from raw beans, you can make it at home if you wish: 1.cook 2.incubate.

- soy beans can be replaced by many others bean. Chickpea tempeh taste like banane popcorn.

That weird white brick can go from disgusting to delicious depending on how it was cooked. If you don’t like tempeh, it probably wasn’t cooked well.
Which makes my point.

LTX-Video: Realtime Video Latent Diffusion
It's not really a scold -- god knows I've wasted a lot of stuff for the sake of fun projects, this just happens to be past the threshold for me. Not entirely sure why. I think it might be because thermal paper feels kinda yucky: it has weird chemicals in it, it fades super quickly, and cannot be recycled. I would probably feel slightly better doing this on regular paper, although like somebody suggested I would maybe limit it to a Sunday thing.
Tons of the Hawaiian flights have it now too. It's such a game changer. Most people are on YouTube, it looks like -- no video calls I've seen.
I think I remember fged. Wire-frame transformations were popular at that time. There was also IPaint. Spectricon could paint in various graphic modes including 16 colors on the newer Icon computer. The flood fill's hand coded 80186 assembly was still slow due required calls to the Cemcorp graphics API.

Flew on Hawaiian last month which had starlink. During the announcements they asked everyone not to do voice or video calls, and said they would disable the internet if they saw people doing it. Will be interesting to see different airlines policies as broadband becomes available on flights
Breaking a problem down to the extent you are describing should only have to be done for fresh grads IMO. LLMs are indeed better at tasks broken down to this degree in my experience.

I'd expect more senior engineers to handle increasingly complex/ambiguous projects, while taking the business context into account as necessary.

The algorithms are automating the editorial control.

But even more so, since they can editorialize down to specific people, targeted influence. It is 1000X more potent than some joe blow newspaper editor.
Funny that they had to freeze the ground to dig it, as it is one of the hottest line in Paris (at least 20 years ago).
This is one of the terrifying, probably already happening threats presented by current LLMs.

Social engineering (and I include spearphishing) has always been powerful and hard to mitigate. Now it can be done automatically at low cost.
Hopefully Firefox will keep support for manifest 2 for the foreseeable future since they also have their own extension "store". In Chromes extension store new downloads of Ublock Origin have already been disabled and existing installations are slowly being disabled as they roll out the changes.

So I consider myself to be pretty aggressive compared to the normal user when it comes to adblocking. I use Pihole, pfsense (just some blocking IP lists), ublock origin + custom filters & lists, noscript, and also just have a firm household policy about unavoidable ads. (companies have a "1 strike you're out" policy in my household for anything egregious. Spotify earned a lifetime ban probably over a decade ago. It's likely the original offense has not been relevant for years, but I don't care. They're out of the running permanently.)

That said, there's a lot of time and energy keeping up with what works, and what does not in the ecosystem. From the pfsense (ie, IP blocking) side of things I'm wholly dependent on filter list authors -- and of course IP blocking ads is marginally effective at best. From the pihole side of things, you have similar problems: dependency on domain lists, and the ever-looming threat of server-side ads. The only reason pihole (or any DNS-based blocking in general) is not wholly useless is because it represents a minority of users. If the technique were even marginally popular, the industry would move on and render it almost totally useless. uBlock origin suffers similar problems, and of course Google has moved to neuter it via Manifest v3. They are also in something of a tug of way with Youtube, and I get the sense that if they really wanted to, they could easily circumvent the plugin. As could any other website. I'm not really worried about losing Youtube, mind you, but it feels pretty clearly that the door is closing on the ad-free internet. And worse, the time when the users on the internet had more power than corporations is dying with it.
I haven’t seen anything about this in a while. Do EU builds of Firefox actually exist yet? (Running on gecko)
If the study was done with target consent, it might be biased with inflated click-through rates due to the targets expecting benign well-targeted spear-phishing messages.

If it was done without target consent, it would certainly be unethical.

My daily supermarket uses these and I keep old receipts for personal finance evaluation, they definitely do not hold up as well as the website advertises. As soon as they get a few crinkles, they darken and get really hard to read.

To me, articles like this are not so interesting for the results. I'm not reading them to find out just exactly what the performance of AIs is, exactly. Obviously it's not useful for that, it's not systematic, anecdotal, unscientific...

I think LLMs today, for all their goods and bads, can do some useful work. The problem is that there is still mystery on how to use them effectively. I'm not talking about some pie in the sky singularity stuff, but just coming up with prompts to do basic, simple tasks effectively.

Articles like that are great for learning new prompting tricks and I'm glad the authors are choosing to share their knowledge. Yes, OP isn't saying the last word on prompting, and there's a million ways it could be better. But the article is still useful to an average person trying to learn how to use LLMs more productively.

>the "Senior vs Junior Developer" narrative

It sounds to me like just another case of "telling the AI to explicitly reason through its answer improves the quality of results". The "senior developer" here is better able to triage aspects of the codebase to identify the important ones (and to the "junior" everything seems equally important) and I would say has better reasoning ability.

Maybe it works because when you ask the LLM to code something, it's not really trying to "do a good job", besides whatever nebulous bias is instilled from alignment. It's just trying to act the part of a human who is solving the problem. If you tell it to act a more competent part, it does better - but it has to have some knowledge (aka training data) of what the more competent part looks like.
It is a major disruption for a couple years.

> Our entire world – the way we present information in scientific papers, the way we organize the workplace, website layouts, software design – is optimized to support human cognition. There will be some movement in the direction of making the world more accessible to AI. But the big leverage will be in making AI more able to interact with the world as it exists.

> We need to interpret LLM accomplishments to date in light of the fact that they have been laboring under a handicap. This helps explain the famously “jagged” nature of AI capabilities: it’s not surprising that LLMs struggle with tasks, such as ARC puzzles, that don’t fit well with a linear thought process. In any case, we will probably find ways of removing this handicap
This is not remotely accurate. Plenty of large tech companies still play in China. The difficulties are very high but if you are big enough the huge market size it’s still very profitable. I don’t think google/etc are in China for its slave labor.
+1, that's what switched.

I made a decade long transition from dropout waiter => startup founder => exit => Google thanks to getting to soak in all the tech stuff on Twitter, without having the formal education.

It's hard to say without being reductive, but TL;DR it's turned into a very know-nothing atmosphere, to the point it certainly swamps the prior positive effects.

Good example yesterday: OP is excited about Elon newly announcing a new interest in non-regretted user-seconds.

Elon's talked about it a bunch, so some people gently correct OP.

Some other people gently point out this...isn't something you can metric.

Everyone's being polite and pointing out indirectly the excitement is irrational: it's an old idea, and not an actual metric you can optimize for

OP half-rolls-back that its a new idea, but is still excited about the implications.

Someone tells him directly "non-user-regretted-seconds" isn't a metric, he doubles down and says its standard in industry.

I reply saying it's Elon-invented, not a good or bad thing, but certainly not a traditional metric.

OP replies saying that's not true, OP saw it in use at Google a decade ago.

It's a day later and it's completely unclear to me: A) if this is an actual phrase that was used prior to Elon B) if it is a phrase, how it could be a metric and C) if OP is right that it was in use before Elon, given our time at google overlapped by 7 years and I've never, ever, heard of anyone having a metric like that (could someone have used it as a term of art in a meeting? sure! but generic "amount of time people enjoy using our thing" isn't worth noting as a distinct term, unless you actually collect info on it)

The only way I can think of to even engage is to say pretty much the above, but it's too aggro and "cares too much" for the level of current discourse, especially since the premise is we should be excited Elon cares about this.

A more factual approach, like trying to find the first instance of "unregretted user-seconds" isn't convincing. I'm not sure how you'd prove the first use was after a certain date.

Even if I try searching for refs between 2000 and 2020 only, there's ~3 pages of obviously re-dated results, i.e. referring to Elon as Twitter owner with a date of "2013"

Then, just because it wasn't on the internet at a certain date, doesn't mean it wasn't in use regularly at Google before that date.

Then, the clunky pseudo-scientific phrasing makes it impossible to debunk there wasn't another form of "unregretted user-seconds" I should be checking.

There's only 8 pages of results for "unregretted user-seconds", all tied to Elon/Twitter, but that means nothing because again, clunky phrasing means maybe there's another form I should be checking, and maybe it was a phrase that had been locked inside companies until Elon used it publicly.

So what was the point of even reading, thinking, replying about this?

Nothing. Waste of time.
