As we build and understand them now there's pretty good structural reasons to believe that LLMs cannot be tweaked or tuned to be more than incidentally truthful.
Right, my bad on the ambiguity—I was replying to the OP's concern about image sizes, not the attack in TFA:

> It really doesn't matter that they can't see an image or video, knowing its size upfront or later (for example in response to a law enforcement request) is enough
Exactly. But I'd love to hear what the next step after dokku is. But maybe it's just moving the db to another, separate vps, and spinning up more instances of the service all pointing at that db instance, with all of that using dokku.
It was, but I spend a lot of time flying near DC, so it was nice to know exactly where airspace boundaries were. A luxury, for sure.
Yeah I also find Ghost scans happen, it happens where I try to scan a tag and it says something has been scanned even though I'm no where close to the tag. I think its an issue with NFCReader in iOS
AI File Sorter: Categorize and Organize Files Using AI
Hi everyone,

I’ve built a free tool called AI File Sorter. It uses LLMs to intelligently categorize and organize files and directories, which I think might be handy for many people. Well, let’s just say it can finally bring some order to the chaos of your Desktop or Downloads folder. But it will also handy for those who've got a lot of data in general.

It’s fast and reliable, written in C++ (current version: 0.8.0).

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Sorry I don't have time to look if a good solution exists, but you have to check out framalibre by framasoft. Half the apps they recommend don't really work out of the box, but the rest is pretty good, and everything can be self-hosted.

https://framalibre.org/ (it's french only, sorry)

Good luck!
What a lovely site, and thank you for all the devotion to being user friendly.

You've added something wonderful and artistic to the world, can't wait to try it out more tonight :)
Well in that case so is the total population of earth.
Can you send me the link as well? thank you! My email is the1herp@gmail.com

It's nothing to do with verbosity, which is why I didn't mention it.
Yeah lot of feedback on better demos, learning moment for sure!
It has been proven that global utility optimization can be equivalent to solving a arbitrarily complex, arbitrarily non-linear, arbitrarily quickly changing, function. Great. There exists exactly zero techniques for solving all such systems even if the function was not unknown.

That is proof that "free markets" are not guaranteed to converge toward good outcomes because it proves that every decision/optimization process that is believed to be even theoretically possible is not guaranteed to converge toward good outcomes. Singling out "free markets" as if they are even somewhat uniquely susceptible is just plain ridiculous. Everything is thoroughly screwed in the presence of arbitrarily complex functions.

As we have now seen and proven that everything is doomed in a arbitrarily malicious universe, it is only prudent to re-focus on problems under normal conditions and figure out the practical question of what systems produce good, high quality outcomes in a normal implementation over normal conditions.
OK. Why not just tap "lock the house" on your screen? Or use a voice interface (which requires zero extra hardware)?

> The reality on the battlefield is that NATO/Ukraine loses badly,

NATO isn't even on the battlefield.

> while spending much/much/much more money.

Yes, western labor has more value per hour, so the $ value of the smaller share of western effort devoted to the support of Ukraine is much higher than the $ value of the much larger share of Russian effort.

> Donated money.

See, you have to decide on your narrative. If your narrative is that NATO is who your Russian buddies are fighting on the battlefield, then it isn't donated money. If your narrative is "donated money", then you have to drop the "NATO/Ukraine" description of the belligerent opposing Russia.
This. After WhatsApp was acquired by Facebook (this predates any of the current political stuff, it was entirely about privacy), I tried to get friends and family to switch to something else -- Signal in fact as iMessage was a no-go because of the lack of Android support.

Out of ~30 people, I got precisely 3 people to switch. No one else cared, no one else wanted the hassle of switching. I even got a few comments along the lines of "but no-one I know is on Signal" etc. I ended up re-installing WhatsApp because I decided that the loss of contact with so many people was worse than any privacy worries I had at the time.

None of this makes sense.

Bambu is forcing its customers to use its cloud offerings when many users want to use the machine on their LAN without the cloud guff. Many for security reasons. Bambu essentially tells its customers to pound sand, they are forced to use cloud. Now Bambu is claiming it has a cloud DDOS problem and therefore it is going to lock down what users can do further. I'm sorry, that's just silly. Let me connect to the printer locally, and your cloud DDOS problems go away.

The DDOS problem itself doesn't sound particularly compelling as a justification for this action, either. If every user action is authenticated, you know which users are abusing the system - throttle them or kick them out. Adding a TLS certificate for mutual authentication is going to reduce the DDOS overhead by a negligible amount.

> forcing a constraint on the approved software clients

Which will do nothing against a determined DDOSer since they will always be able to extract the certificates from Bambu Connect, or BambuSlicer.

Finally, if the issue is airtight security for the on-prem printer and preventing a hacker external or internal to the LAN from exploiting them. Maybe Bambu can take a page from the Matter smart home specs. if they are out of ideas. These are solved problems. Cloud not necessary. Software lockdown not necessary.
So, on top of paying for a gym membership and not using it, you're paying an additional $10 for each time you should go but don't, and it's... still a good deal?
How do you not unflag this? This is a historic moment with the whole country watching. Not separate from technology intellectual curiosity or the world. What does it say that this discussion is being suppressed?
Looks neat.

The CtC community is pretty prolific, and if your colors could match theirs that'd be much easier to parse. https://youtu.be/mkomrpQG388?t=212 has most of them all at once, I think palindrome is the only one missing from there.

Also, if your solver could pick up shift for corner marks and control/command for center marks, that'd be a nice quality of life pickup compared to Sudokupad.
Here's a previous HN submission about finding Waldo in pi (spoiler: only by cheating significantly re what counts as "Waldo"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30872676

I googled around trying to figure out what year James McKee created the Trinity Hall prime. The internet is (IMO) presenting it mainly as some kind of Wonder of the Ancient World — with the date of creation conveniently filed off. The first post below claims that the year McKee left Cambridge and created the prime was 1996. It seems to have hit peak internet presence only in the 2010s, though, so I wish there were an authoritative source to confirm (or deny) the 1996 date.

This depends on a lot of factors. There are some type II diabetics like this: they might need insulin after a meal with a high glycemic index, but not after a meal with a low glycemic index. There are some type II diabetics with more advanced disease who need insulin after eating anything. Type I diabetics entirely lose their ability to make insulin, which is why the disease was fatal before insulin was discovered, no matter what the kids (it was almost always kids) ate or didn’t eat. As a general rule, it is inaccurate to equate diabetes with unhealthy eating. The Venn diagram only overlaps.
If the photon had a mind, this would make it go crazy.
Because people are tired of hearing about Trump and Musk literally all day long and every day. It's almost impossible not to hear about them. And most likely, it will last at least 4 years. Seriously, at that stage, I think everybody had already a well forged opinion on this whole situation and no new information can change it.

I'll flag any post that contains Trump or Musk in the title.
Google details 2025 Workspace price increase
This article summarizes the cost increases for various levels of Google Workspace plans in easy to read tables. These changes are being forced onto all customers, even if they don’t want to use the AI features.

Google is essentially using this forced price increase to kill their AI competitors by stealing their revenue through illegal bundling - just like Microsoft did with Teams to attack Slack illegally. They’re forcing everyone to pay for their AI product without choice to select competitors, just because they’re using some other existing product of Google’s. This effectively makes it so that no other company can charge these customers for a different AI product. After all, if your company’s spending goes up because of this Google price increase, your executives will not want to see double spending on AI products. So all those deserving smaller companies will simply miss out on these customers.

I encourage everyone to call/write to their state’s AG (https://www.usa.gov/state-attorney-general) and also the FTC (https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/ant...), to complain about this change. It’s an anti competitive strategy, which in an ideal world would see Google facing a crushing antitrust lawsuit from the FTC and DOJ. I am not sure that they’ll face any repercussions under the new administration, however.

The attacker uses a patched version of Signal to be able to intercept requests and to block a get request to the attachment they have just created. At least it is my understanding.
whats that supposed to be some kind of sick joke?
Yes, but more smart people that visit a clear phishing website later on understand their mistake and change their password. If you could perform actual actions on a letsencrypt certificate website that perhaps has a slightly different url, you’d most probably would be less sceptic.
Exactly what I thought of, but on querty it is the other way around.
yeah 100% you can totally just use whats built into your phone, there's actually no need for any of these apps.

I found that having this physical deterrent keeps myself accountable, that's kinda the reason I built it and showcased it
As illustrated by Luigi and the response to his actions, "ordinary people" in the US know exactly who to rebel against.

It should be noted that his assassination attempt followed a year where no less than 3 people set themselves on fire in protest of another arm of America's industrial grinder. Which is to say that the most recent act doesn't represent a sudden escalation, but is instead emblematic of a progression from despair to anger. Several billionaires also predicted this progression, warning their peers to ease up on their behavior. They're not listening, and some "ordinary people" seem ready to make them.
Echoing a comment I left in a different thread: from my perspective as a Garmin watch owner, I can't find any reason why I'd want to switch to an Apple watch. (Admittedly my phone is an Android, so there's some inherent bias there. But the general point stands that I can't think of anything I'd want in a smart watch that's not a feature of my current Garmin.)

I'm pretty happy with the level of "smart" integration on my Garmin watch, which boils down to "show me a preview of incoming SMS and Telegram messages and the contact name when I receive a phone call". Plus the syncing of fitness activities. I do go back-and-forth on whether I want it to buzz or not for text messages, but that roughly overlaps between when I'm wearing the watch in the first place, so that has worked out well in my particular case.

It fits well into my general philosophy of smartphone notifications, where real humans are allowed to buzz or make attention-grabbing noise (phone calls / text messages) and everything else waits silently in the notification drawer until I choose to look at the phone.
yeah I suppose that is also a main issue - i.e. whatever monetary model behind it needs to fund teams that addresses that point
If you take the generated code snippets and ask something like "There may or may not be something syntactically or stylistically wrong with the following code. Try to identify any errors or unusual structures that might come up in a technical code review.", then it usually finds any problems or at least, differences of opinion on what the best approach is.

(This might work best if you have one LLM critique the code generated by another LLM, eg bouncing back and forth between Claude and ChatGPT)
And yet none of it would have ever been experienced without the guidance toward this thinking by an LLM... ;)

Maybe future LLMs will be their most pro-social by playing stupid, and letting us feel like we came up with all the good idea they gracelessly-but-gracefully point our attention toward (not saying that's happening here, but maybe it's where we should make it stop)
It sounds like you think the SC was wrong in 1965 in saying you couldn't ban contraceptive use. https://time.com/archive/6833872/the-law-emanations-from-a-p... Not a stance I happen to agree with.
That reminds me of a fallacy that was described somewhere (is it in freakonomics?). A daycare place wanted parents to not be late for pickup so they instituted a small fine ($5-10) if you pick up late. The result was: more late pickups, because it now had a price, the perception changed to make it less shameful and more like the price of a service.
None of this seems to indicate a belief in faith being "intentionally separate from truth".
Yeah I can't find a clear way to do this from Swift and APIs apple exposes. I can be very wrong though and just didn't dig hard enough
>being so insanely partisan to the point of calling one party Nazis

Do you mean the party who just used the inauguration to have a senior government member throw nazi salutes? The party whose presidents first actions included pardoning dozens of members of fascist groups?

You can't really be choosing this moment to complain about calling these people nazis??
Seems to be unavailable in New Zealand too.
Things are changing nonetheless. My wife is celiac (we’re quite a problematic family: I’m diabetic, she’s celiac), but by law, she is guaranteed that a suitable menu must be available wherever she goes, or at least that waitstaff and business owners know how to handle the situation when she informs them.
(I know for a fact that managing celiac disease and the most severe and dangerous intolerances is a mandatory requirement for obtaining a business license.)
I can't hit over the water??

A Show HN thread in 2014 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7840059
My bad. Doesn't look like I can delete my submission. I apologize for coming off gotcha, gloaty, or sneering I thought I was being pretty blunt.

I was genuinely surprised yesterday and realized I have a huge misunderstanding about how things operate here.

On the Elon thread dang stated that users flag articles and implied that user flagging was the overriding arbiter of authority on HN and linked https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42775519 (implying flagging/community consensus is above the mods) which is how I came to my 'not very accurate description of how HN works'. Yesterdays response further confused me as the community discussion in the flagged article seemed to lean more towards unflagging than support for the flag remaining. Thanks for clarifying that I still misunderstand.

I will ask others still in the bay area for more insight directly and refrain from talking/asking about HN on HN.

Honest question what is pre-sneering? Maybe you are mistaking my shock at events yesterday and the position taken here for sneering? I have to admit I am extremely shocked and disillusioned. But I'm definitely not sneering. I think you are mistaking my not obeying in advance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tocssf3w80) and asking a very blunt question for some sort of juvenile internet snark. I think responding negatively and how I assumed most people would to outright Nazi behavior and defense/deflection/headburrying of it is different than run of the mill internet snark/sneering. I guess keeping with that post about being post-authenticity yesterday maybe somehow challenging actual nazi behavior is now somehow un-authentic/sneering.
Apparently the manna system falls apart at some point because of "billionaire infighting" and the Australia system prevails.
There are much easier and cheaper ways of generating megavolts of electricity, I think the biggest barrier would be getting someone who knows enough about this to build it despite their skepticism about the validity of it.

Ah, memories. I was a manufacturing engineer in a bipolar factory from 1989 to 1992, and BiCMOS was the perennial hope for a future for our acquired skills. When word broke that the Pentium would have one, it seemed significant. On the whole, though, it didn't have the impact that was hoped for; bipolar hangs on (like COBOL) in certain niches, but I think despite the theoretical advantages, the disadvantages of having to think about both bipolar and CMOS transistors in the engineering, was too much of a price to pay.

Lesser known reasons: as bipolar transistors went to polysilicon gates (which have a tiny, ~1-2 Angstrom thick layer of oxide in them) and MOS transistors started to become leakier through their ever-shrinking gate oxides, the distinction between MOS and bipolar transistors became fuzzier. Modern MOS transistors leak less current through their gate oxides than the bipolar transistors did through the polysilicon emitter, but the physics of the two is not as different as it was twenty years ago.

A club I'm active with posts everything to Meetup and Facebook. Meetup is the "official" source of truth for posting events and photos and limited chats related to the events themselves ("Where are we parking?" type questions). Facebook for social chat and announcing "unofficial" hangouts/parties.
how did it go wsgeorge? is there like a 10 second pause between each word when running on a Mac? I thought I could only run 8b models on it from what I remember last year and even those were super slow!
I have one of those as well and it's generally a good device but it has a few weird software defects which make me wonder whether Garmin employees do any real diving? Like in the Multi-Gas activity profile it will automatically prompt you to switch gases based on calculated PO2, but the message covers the entire screen so you can't see your depth! And there's no way to disable those alerts.
Today was the first time i tapped into the "For you" feed since i made my twitter account. I only follow a dozen or so people, all of them singers and musicians from Japan. I am not American nor anywhere near America.

The first bit of scrolling was relevant content from artists i follow on youtube but not twitter. Then suddenly all I saw were Elon Musk doing the Nazi pose. Wtf
That's arguably not true. It was never concealed that Musk would get important roles in the government, and Trump still got a stunning amount of votes.

However this is once again just distraction.

To summarize:

> There is a submission, claiming that Twitter is influencing the opinion of people
> I agree with this, but call out that this website does the same
> Suddenly someone starts screeching *nazi nazi nazi*

And I'm still kind of stumped. People really deserve to harvest what they sow.
Plenty. What looks like generic dots to us laymen are actually different types of stars. With more resolution, astronomers can more accurately categorize the different stars in the galaxy. The ratios of different stars tell us things about the universe.

With better high resolution images recently we've also been able to see confirmation of Gravitational Lensing [0] which reveal superstructures in space-time that affect the images we see. (i.e. with lower resolution we might've assumed we're seeing multiple distinct stars, with better resolution we understand that it's the same)

For example, we just discovered the first "Einstein Zig Zag". [1]

Ultimately, understanding the gravitational structure of space-time is the key to understanding dark matter which is arguably the biggest mystery of the universe today (besides dark energy).
