> > In my feeling truly innovative opportunities are still rather easy to find.

> Such as? Can you name a few?

Naming them would need long explanations (and a lot of my thoughts are still in an early phase), but I can give you a rough sketch of one possible way how one can find them (but note that there exists an insane amount of other possible ways to find great innovative opportunities):

Simply read sophisticated scientific literature about mathematics and related areas, in particular about insanely deep results that were (possibly) honored with high awards (which gives you a strong evidence that there is indeed something deep to find in these results). Then find cool, exciting applications of these results in an area of your choice.

Why does this simple approach work? Answer: the state of the art in mathematics is in many cases simply working with science-fiction technologies from, say, 50 years in the future already today.

Honestly, this way I find raw ideas for possibly cool, exciting opportunities basically every few days.
"Execute like a billionaire"
Are prints as clear and as fast printing everything as an image? Or are there some tradeoffs?
this is so cool, any chance you post a video?
you can write it as long as you want. Funk WAS a free market proponent and WAS nazi. That's a fact. If you cannot understand that, it's not my fault.

The rest of your "analysis" seems to be written by a 12 year old kid.

Pretending that when we bring the proof, with clear example, that free market proponent can be nazi, it means that we pretend that all policies from a specific nazi government were free market is just very very stupid.

As for the ridiculous rest, just look at Pinochet. He is NOT a nazi (not because he was pro-free-market, just in case you are too stupid to not notice), but he demonstrates that your logic of "if it's a free market, it's impossible to persecute the political opponent". The Pinochet regime was recognized as as-free-market-as-it-can-be by the ones of Thatcher, Friedman and the Chicago Boys, and at the same time, it was a bloodthirsty dictatorship that persecuted people who did not align with the party, organising murders and tortures, to the point of having a squad nick-named the "caravan of death". So, yeah, your argument is just uneducated.
> For an objective response, reading through opinionated articles and forming my opinion is an absolute waste of time

If the sources are all opinionated articles, per GP, that's what the LLM is going to base its "objective response" on. That's literally all it has as sensory input.
This is not how politics works. Politics is about spectacle, not facts. In order to turn people pro-trans the movement needs to come out emphatically against those two things. Make a spectacle out of it. “We’re just like you” consistently works
Users flagged it. We can only guess why users flag things, but in this case I'd guess (1) there have been major recent threads about this topic, including about this same order (before it was signed); and (2) these threads have been on the flamey/repetitive side.

K8s/k3s doesn’t solve my problem either, and I don’t want to manage that in my personal workflow. Coolify is pretty neat, and so is Kamal. My Python script that SSHs into a machine and runs a few Docker commands also works.

BrainsMingle: Omegle-Style Speed Networking, but Only for Your Organization
BrainsMingle is a professional Speed Networking Platform built for communities, accelerators, and organizations to help them connect their members and employees through 1-1 video calls, with no moderation efforts.

Recently, an accelerator used BrainsMingle to host a 90-minute networking session for 55 founders, resulting in 400+ new connections (8 new matches per person on average) - with zero moderation or logistics required. Partnerships were identified, and founders got to know each other while having fun and in a very short time.

you can immediately check it out on our website brainsmingle.com.

you can always have a free 15-minute networking event with 6 other participants. Each will meet another participant for a quick 5 minutes, then rotate to meet someone new. In total, you get to meet 3 other participants.

would love to know your thoughts
Ah cool, I never looked at the -m option. Thanks!
If you only moved every six or so years that’s not actually a terrible plan. Most of us keep out mattresses too long. I hesitate to think how old mine is.
This is really cool. Is this already in Excel?
Would be great if it was available in the UK too!
More to the point, if, like Robert Putnam, you believe that the nation is on the verge of a civic crisis because of the breakdown of local organizations

https://www.joinordiefilm.com/

the goal is to get people to join clubs, so you want some kind of service which has a specific mission and the minimal part is important. You want to put blinders on your users. You don't want them to get served irrelevant ads and notifications. I'd consider this site

https://fingerlakesrunners.org/

which is basically a calendar of events that they host; they have forums but people aren't chewing the fat, they're having discussions that are focused around the events that

https://forum.fingerlakesrunners.org/

You don't have the horrific moderation problems that come out of "is it fake or not?" or "is this socially acceptable or not?" because the real question is "is this relevant to the events we put on?" in which case the problem of "your free speech is (in my view) your obnoxious behavior" which gets worse the more purposeless a site is.
Unless you're on Android. Android doesn't give extensions access to sync. When I update ublock manually (usually to make things go away on my phone, hence the need) I have to manually export it.
When you work in production and have quotas to meet, you often ignore interesting side-effects. When I worked at google I worked at global cluster scale and frequently saw any number of events that in themselves would have been graduate-student-for-two-years projects that I had to force myself to ignore so I could get my main work (large scale protein design using 1-3 million cores in prod) to finish.

As a side note, always test any global-scale torrent system for package distribution carefully, as sometimes the code can have "accidentally n**2" network usage that only shows up when you have a worldwide grid of clusters.
So much discussion about the factuality problems, the much more hilarious thing is the entire premise, outsourced faith. There they go and make an entire religion about human communion, screw that automated apologetics is much more efficient. If the hallucinations are a problem, why not outsource the apologetics to a call center with fact checkers, religion-as-a-service.

Very fitting this comes out of American Protestantism, Weber proven right every day.
I would if I were you. Most startups that get funded by YC have applied more than once, so this is normal.

The main thing is to be able to demonstrate progress since the previous application, which it sounds like you can. Good luck!
But as someone who lived through the introduction of cloud computing, there were a lot of widely-held assumptions that didn't really play out. Heck, you see a lot of people here who are regularly up in arms about the assumption that of course cloud must be cheaper. Or look at The Big Switch by Nick Carr which recounts the narrative about how centralized power generation took the place of individual factories generating their own power--the irony being that solar in particular has decentralized power generation to a significant degree.
I was thinking less of energy efficiency and more of containment. Possibly damage reduction.

I mean that mui Board thing is pretty cool and novel, that would definitely distract me for a while.
Yeah I would assume that given how easy it is to start a new Amazon seller account and how impossible it is for some random seller in China to face legal repercussions from the US, the likelihood of finding an “_____-free” item to actually be made of whatever the cheapest and most readily available formulation is. (Including the _____), is pretty high.
What is "gender identity"? What is the evidence that "gender identity" exists, outside of my identity as a sexed being (ie the influence of hormones on my brain and psychological development, the knowledge of my own body)? If such a phenomena as "gender identity" exists outside of biological sex, why redefine words like "she" and "woman", which have always referred to biological sex, instead of coming up with new words to refer to gender identity?
A roman salute is the Nazi salute. Same thing.
Signal's default setup is more usability focused while supporting E2E, and less about tinfoil hat threat models about being present on a continent you're a citizen of.

The items you mentioned can essentially be configured, for those that want the insane level of privacy / security. Messages can be auto-deleted 30 seconds after being seen, a proxy can be configured to route all your traffic through it, and tons of other things can be done to customize it more to the user's liking.

I'd imagine they're caching it because of egress costs. File attachments, voice mail, video, etc. can all add up.
Design Patterns by Erich Gamma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns)
Rust is not a functional language
> not reliable (only works with low humidly)

That's merely an engineering issue. Keep spraying it with water or something. You do it right, and you might even get the familiar buzzing and shimmering of Star Trek force fields!

> prone to breakdowns

Ah yes, that's very much like Star Trek force fields.

> and might randomly kill people

That might be an issue for Starfleet. A real-world military today will definitely see this as a feature.

Ultimately, you're not wrong, but I would hope some military or other entity with deep budget would try building it anyway, simply because science isn't about "why?", it's about "why not?". I would also imagine, should this design work and became widely-known, some hacker would build and operate it just because.

Just anecdata but my sister was encouraged to change her gender by multiple different therapists. She later “outgrew” that for lack of a better term and has emphatically told me that listening to them was a mistake. Sometimes parents know best idk.
Woah can you tell us more about this? Seems like really cool tech
It's extremely outdated now because the developer has abandoned it. I have the vague impression it's lying about the chromium version it's based on as well, or something related to that.
I like your honesty! Best of luck in your launch!
I mean that when I went to college 15 years ago, they made you hand write your essays; I have bad hand writing + I am a lazy writer + I'm in school for computers == poor marks.

If I'd typed by essays, they would have been such academic works as to immediately grant me the degree. (Hyperbole for humor)
Diabetes is a complex and mentally demanding disease. It affects you in the short term and has a significant impact in the long term. Everything is in your hands, fully aware that every mistake has immediate consequences but, worse, accumulates over time.
That phrase (from this song) perfectly capture the mental state of my 20 years living with the disease. No tragedy (there are worse things), just deep awareness.

This has been happening for quite some time. For example, a popular news item that is critical of Musk is published by many news organisations across the web. The item will then be submitted to HN by various users, sourced from various news organisation websites. Sometimes _each and every submission_ reporting the same story gets flagged. It would be helpful to see which users are flagging these submissions.
Just keep in mind that Plato and (especially) Socrates made a living by going against commonly held wisdom at the time, so this probably wasn't an especially widely held belief in ancient greece.
We do it right now :D

Kinda? All local so very much personal, non-business use. I made Ollama talk in a specific persona styles with the idea of speaking like Spider Jerusalem, when I feel like retaining some level of privacy by avoiding phrases I would normally use. Uncensored llama just rewrites my post with a specific persona's 'voice'. Works amusingly well for that purpose.
Honestly, I have had very few issues with it. Generally for the big issues there compatibly layer packages available, e.g. you can install a musl-fts package since musl doesn't implement fts.

I think there is value in a cleaner, newer, more minimal c library. Pretty much everything just works, and for what doesn't I either compile statically in a devuan container or use a flatpak.

I have kids and I'm very active too. I'm not saying they're not active. I'm saying they're not diving. And if they do dive, once, wouldn't they be buying an Apple Watch Ultra for Christmas, that says that it can do your dive, but also be useful every single day of the year?

In terms of data, well, the number of kids per family is trending down, marriage is trending down, relationships are trending down... I don't need to measure anything, everyone's audience is becoming the No Kids audience.
Garmin, Polar, and Strava existed before Apple Health/Watch were released. They had to have a solution in a non-Apple world, and I doubt they'd abandon existing users once Apple appeared (and stuck around).

Oura's first Ring was released the same year as the Watch, so I don't think that Oura was given early access.
OpenAI is stereotypically (modern/contemporary) American. There's the glorification of the founder(s), the mediocre and overhyped product, the weird talks and keynotes given by the leader(s) that are both delusional and hype generating, the insane valuations, topped off with enough drama to keep the news cycle focused on them. The American dream, or something. It's bizarre and not seen that often outside of the US.

I don't see why it wouldn't be "American", and I think it goes without saying that it is.
> whenever, without exception, someone takes a swing at free markets it leads to people dying

Do Scandinavian socialist democracies not count as an exception?

On the flip side, I think you will equally find that whenever free market solutions are applied to public services - healthcare, water, electricity, police, etc - people also die in large numbers. And although wealthy people generated by the free markets are philantropic, it's not in proportion to the harm inflicted on people. Only thing is, we ignore those disasters because they are inconvenient for the narrative.

It seems to be obvious that certain things (like public utilities) should just be controlled directly by the government, without any free markets involved, as long as your objective function is to optimize the average life quality of your citizens.
Hebrews 5:12:
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the BASIC principles of God's word all over again.

My wife grew up in an extremely wealthy home yet also fights this tendency. She has to leave the room if I'm going to throw out food that has gone bad, because seeing someone throw food in the trash makes her feel physically ill.
How is Discord a key logger?
It always feels like the mods are against you and secretly on the side you don't like. The other side feels the same way when we make a call in your direction. This is a well-established pattern. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

In this case the call is clear because the inputs to the discussion are provocative, inflammatory, and intense; and there's almost no information. Discussion will break down along partisan lines. Nobody will come to any new conclusion or persuade anyone. They'll just say things they would have said before, only more strongly. That's the kind of dynamic we hope to avoid on HN.
I was about to say Musk doesn't have an actual role in government but I guess an executive order has made DOGE real, by renaming US Digital Service the US Doge Service.
How was this never mentioned in Unsong? Not a single time?
At the moment, domains related to Hyperion Entertainment appear to be experiencing backend issues, including https://amigaos.net and https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com .
Not sure on this one, there is certainly a perceptible uptick of flagging on HN the last couple of days

That you are linking to the site formerly known as Twitter could play into it, considering the stories primarily being flagged revolve around the overlord
Our homeless colony has 10x'ed in recent years and been moved away from a spot owned by the Norfolk Southern railroad to one owned by the city, immediately behind the Wal-Mart. The area is now saturated by untreated schizophrenics and security alone is a reason for reduced hours.
Do you find that it actually generates varied and diverse stories? Or does it just fall into the same 3 grooves?

Last week I tried to get an LLM (one of the recent Llama models running through Groq, it was 70B I believe) to produce randomly generated prompts in a variety of styles and it kept producing cyberpunk scifi stuff. When I told it to stop doing cyberpunk scifi stuff it went completely to wild west.
Oh ffs, is that what it is? Wow.
The irony is that, the iphone era was somehow everything I wanted to see. But indeed this unified (incredible) device, ends up being a sink in itself that sucks so much of your thoughts to provide very few on average (there's some fun stuff given by having a pocket computer to be fair).
Sounds like a lot more than I'd expect, especially considering ~50% of those 57000 doctorates probably don't even want to continue in academia. It's starting to look like the odds of landing a tenured position are quite good.
> Those kinds of destructive conversations then colour the other non-political discussions.

How so? I honestly don't see what mechanism could lead to that. Are you saying that people would remember user names they disagreed with on political topics they care deeply about, hold a grudge, and then that would "color" their reply to someone (who is their "political enemy") about code etc.? I mean, I get the idea that people might be petty and personal, but how would they express that in an non-political topic? What is this "coloring"? Can you give an example?

I do see the opposite being possible, easily: if people aren't allowed to discuss something like Elon's Hitler salute in a dedicated topic freely, then they'll probably use the opportunity to bring it up in other topics about something else Musk/SpaceX/Tesla did. I see this all the time, for every topic where I'm bothered that discussion is flagged, it's a.) still discussed by people arriving there via search, and b.) brought up in orders of magnitude more unrelated threads, usually garnering approval rather than downvotes. It's HackerNews after all, not StartTheWizardAndClickOKNews after all.
Re everything above the below, you are naming esoteric reasons for allowing unfettered access to physical memory. That's fine, but what percent of players of X game are going to have such a setup in their computer? Not enough that detecting that and preventing you from accessing a server would be a problem.

> And just to reiterate, it doesn't have to be anything exotic. The storage controller in a common machine is going to do DMA to arbitrary memory pages for swap.

I'd like a source for that if you have one. I'd be very surprised if modern IOMMU implementations with paging need arbitrary access. The CPU / OS could presumably modify the IOMMU entries prior to the DMA swap. The OS is still the one initiating a DMA transaction.
Llama 3.2 punches way above its weight. For general "language manipulation" tasks it's good enough - and it can be used on a CPU with acceptable speed.

It’s -15 C outside here and the snow is blowing sideways. NO ONE is going outside to grab lunch. They’re all ordering Uber Eats. If Uber Eats didn’t exist they’d be eating egg salad sandwiches for lunch, not ordering a pizza from a place that pays a full time driver.
Perhaps we're going technologically backwards.

Oral tradition compared to writing is clearly less accurate. Speakers can easily misremember details.

Going from writing/documentation/primary sources to AI to be seems like going back to oral tradition, where we must trust the "speaker" - in this case the AI, whether they're truthful with their interpretation of their sources.
