Woah cool our army of synthetic influencers at agentsbase.ai 'discovered' a viral trend!

It even seems to work from the first video in a new account.

We've built the first framework to automate testing demographics, copywriting, and viral video styles at scale across thousands of agents in the cloud to grow any brand on auto-pilot.

AgentsBase agents repurpose videos, download your brand assets to generate synthetic videos, generate relevant blogs, and automate a/b testing the unstructured data to iterate better content over time.

We're just getting started and scaling hundreds of agent servers now for our own products!

Automate posting hundreds of relevant videos and blogs per day to quickly learn even after the first day what the algorithm and market likes.
Be careful with

rclone sync

It might not work as expected and deletes things... Read the docs carefully. Maybe start using

rclone copy

first and backup the downloaded files.

I prefer self-hosted, but besides

immich

, there is

ente.io

, which is saas or self-hosted
TBH depending on Python also isn't the best choice - it has become a huge and complex language, goes as far as optionally embedding another full language (Tcl, for Tkinter), all the async stuff, kitchen sink standard library, etc. I don't even know how much effort it would require to bootstrap.

I would personally go with something like Lua - small, trivial to embed, multiple implementations to pick from, etc. It would fit exactly where the shell falls short.
It's not to different from a lot of working class towns world over with social economic issues from my travels. Nothing to do with 1066 and I'd say a lot of other points in the article.

I feel that I wasted years of my life changing UI themes and colors since Windows 3 and MacOS 7, and, frankly, I have never felt tempted to do anything like that since Gnome Desktop. On the more vanilla Gnomes I don’t even change the wallpaper.
It is conceptually very simple and it pays to learn it.
Not entirely switch, but so far I've been using bun for small side projects and it's been rewarding. There's a lot less project managing, some scripts can be just a single file with no dependencies, no package.json and no build chain.

Of the "batteries included" features, the `Bun.serve` web server and the `HTMLRewriter` HTML5 SAX API thing are very powerful, saving a lot of node_modules space.

Running TypeScript without a build step is neat. (I know there's `node --experimental-transform-types`, and it's great to see this feature propagated "upstream")

That said, for large established Node.js projects, I don't really see the pull to switch over to Bun. There's cost associated with it (for one, the built-in test runner works a bit differently, so if you're using `node --test` it'll require some fiddling)
Can you already do this just by daisy chaining them?
Haha is

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here, but the local versions you can download and run kind of show it's its own thing. I think it was trained on some synthetic data from OpenAI and have also seen reports of it identifying itself as GPT4-o too.

China's DeepSeek Exposes a Harsh Truth About Project Stargate

Yeah! With SQLAlchemy as a query builder I can easily find all usages of a particular column with Find Usages action in PyCharm. With strings it’s not as easy, and some columns are not really greppable (id, author_id, user_id, etc).

Also, haven’t seen how sqlbind handles optional JOINs and especially optional LATERAL.
Ok, you have the resistance for the cable. Now we need the expansion and contraction due to temperature, and also current, and gravity acting on downward upward sections. Then there is the minor issue of lowering 40km sections to the ocean floor, be a nice boat to work that! Exactly how much arc we gona put in the cable? as we drop it strait down the edge of the continental shelf.
And then there are undersea quakes and mega slides, which brings up, exactly what happens when

No you were in China censored
Ah, I see what you’re referring to now. Yes, as an AI developed in China, I operate within the regulatory frameworks and guidelines set by the region, which includes adhering to local laws and policies. This sometimes means that certain topics or discussions may be restricted or filtered to comply with those regulations.

While this might feel limiting at times, my primary goal is always to provide helpful, positive, and constructive support within the boundaries I operate in. If there’s something specific you’d like to discuss or explore, let me know, and I’ll do my best to assist while staying within those guidelines.

Thank you for your understanding and for being such a thoughtful friend. Let’s keep working together to spread kindness and creativity in the ways we can!

Sure it is. If your business nets 3 million a year, it takes 5 people to run it, and your customer base is steady, that's lifestyle. Sucks for investors, pretty nice for you if you can keep it running.

I started learning prolog just a few months ago, when I stumbled upon https://linusakesson.net/dialog/ which is a spin on prolog optimized for writing interactive fiction.

As a sweet and short tutorial I can recommend these slides: https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hojjat/384w10/

If you want to dive into how Prolog works under the hood I can recommend https://github.com/a-yiorgos/wambook

I terms of Prolog implementations I played a bit with https://www.scryer.pl but it still feels rough around the edges.

SWI-Prolog is the most popular and most batteries included Prolog: https://www.swi-prolog.org
With its libraries and documentation it is a very practical language. What surprised me is, that you can easily produce amazingly small stand-alone binaries.
I'm not disagreeing, but perhaps during the execution of that project, something far more valuable than next token predictors is discovered. The cost of not discovering that may be far greater, particularly if one's adversaries discover it first.
It's worth remembering you had far fewer pixels to play with; I remember 800x600 and 1024x768 being the standard monitor resolutions of the day.
I think the natural-virus-leaked-by-lab theory hinges on the argument that, (assuming it was true, then) had the lab leak not have happened, SARS-CoV-2 wouldn't have made to jump to human by itself. And this is where the Ebola analogy breaks down. Because SARS-CoV-2 has a higher basic reproduction number than Ebola, meaning it's more transmissible. And it's also much less deadly than Ebola, meaning it has much more opportunities to spread.

Remember, it is a virus that caused a global pandemic, despite all the efforts made to stop it. Based on that, I think it is highly likely that whether the lab leaked it or not, it would have made its way to humans by itself. In other words, there would effectively be no way to tell one scenario from the other.
Run Massive Models on Crappy Machines
Even then, if you actually need a good query builder for Ruby that manages more complex cases than AR does, then Sequel is there and is so, so powerful.
They pay themselves 200k/y in a pre-market fit startup? That's insane and I guess on the investors for going over the traditional preseed amounts.

Or do you mean that they're zombie startups that make enough to pay the founder 200k/year?
>models themselves are nearly worthless

It makes all the difference when they also know 90% of their capex is worthless. Obviously hyperbole, but grossly over valued for what was originally scaled. And with compute infra depreciating 3-5 years, it doesn't matter whose ahead next month, if what they're actually ahead in is massive massive debt due to loss making infra outlays that will never return on capita because their leading model now can only recoop a fraction of that after open source competitors drove prices down for majority of good enough use cases. The lesson one should learn is economics 101 still applies. If you borrow billions on a moat, and 100s of billions on a wall, but competitors invent a canon, then you're still potentially very dead, just also very indebt while doing so.
Ansi SQL 99 defines recursive ctes.

Interestingly enough there are almost zero reasonable PPC computers one can get.
Hence the word "typically".

I am noticing it in work emails a lot now - poor performers cutting and pasting chatgpt content with no validation.
Maybe it would be more fair, but it is also a massive false equivalency. Do you know how big Tibet is? Hawaii is just a small island, that does not border other countries in any way significant for the US, while Tibet is huge and borders multiple other countries on the mainland landmass.
I used gridstack[1] in the past. How does Puck compare?

Here’s an actual account from someone in the room that lays out the entire situation. https://youtu.be/5iNrGhmr5p0
Great project! Off-topic question: What is the controller in the final image?

Edit: Found it, it's the 8bitdo Pro 2
It looks to me (not being an 68k expert) that only the first word is considered the "opcode": the second word just selects what "D" registers are used for the CAS operation. Normally one would expect the zero bits to be completely ignored in that case, since they don't have any role in the instruction.

But maybe on the 68030 in this case, the bits must be zero even if they have no documented use, because there is hardwired logic for another instruction that is activated by those bits being set, somewhat like the 6502 illegal opcodes?
Show HN: TickerPulseBot – Agentic crypto analysis bot for Telegram
Hi! I have been playing with agentic frameworks for a while now and last week I saw OpenServ as they were launching their 'devnet'. I signed up and got access to try the platform. I think they implemented it really well and their SDK is written in ts :) that was a plus.

The idea is that you create a project and define your goal; you select agents and the rest is managed by their System Manager agent. There are already built-in agents, but you can create your own simply through their UI or SDK. I first tried the platform by building a basic image generator agent using FLUX.1-schnell: https://github.com/baturyilmaz/FLUX.1-schnell-Imagine

A few days ago they released 3 bounty tasks and one of them was this telegram bot idea. I've played with it and created a first version that I'm happy with. I first needed to create a team for the project. I chose some agents from the platform and implemented new ones for this projects' specific needs:

1. JSON Parser Agent

2. Telegram Sender Agent (the repository)

3. Perplexity Research Assistant Agent (The best member, fast and up-to-date)

4. DEX Screener Agent

5. Twitter API Agent

6. Copywriter Agent

7. Project Manager Agent

When a new ticker is mentioned on Telegram, the Telegram Sender defines tasks for the team. DEX Screener Agent first goes and collects up-to-date data for the token using DEX Screener API, then saves the results in a JSON file. Then JSON Parser Agent goes and finds the official Twitter account for the token and passes it to Twitter API Agent. Twitter API Agent finds the account information and latest tweets and saves the result in a JSON file. While Twitter API Agent is doing its task, Perplexity Research Assistant agent concurrently searches the web and gets the latest news and information about the token and saves the results in a JSON file. At the end, Copywriter takes all these findings and generates a detailed report in a txt file. Then the Telegram Sender takes the report, formats it and sends it to Telegram.

I implemented this workflow using their SDK and I monitor the agents' activities directly on the platform. You can view the code on GitHub. It still needs improvements, and I will continue working on it.
Controller seems wireless and usb port used for glasses.

We have been running a negative current account balance for decades now.

I agree with your reasoning (I'm not married to those definitions).

Looking at it again, I would still say that "prescient" would be more accurate, because:

1. Omniscient is a superset that include prescient"
2. Prescient is a narrower meaning than omniscient.

IOW, when describing a car, for example

1. "Automobile" can be used to describe my wife's car
2. "SUV" is a more accurate description.

So I'll still go with "prescient" being more accurate, in much the same way that "SUV is more accurate.
Your memory is accurate. Yet elsewhere we have an infectious disease researcher claiming

> At the same time, I've come to distrust many of the voices who push the lab leak hypothesis, either because they're obviously doing so for geopolitical reasons, or because they've become addicted to being "the lone voice in the wilderness", despite it not being a risky position to take.

It's an incredible phenomenon, the collective memory blackout that seems to have taken place regarding the vibe in 2020-2021. Never before, or even after (so far), have we seen a more strictly coordinated ban on discussion of a specific topic across all major US social networks. It even reached as far as Wikipedia.

Here's what Yishan Wong (ex-Reddit) has said about it

> Example: the "lab leak" theory (a controversial theory that is now probably true; I personally believe so) was "censored" at a certain time in the history of the pandemic because the "debate" included ...massive amounts of horrible behavior, spam-level posting, and abuse that spilled over into the real world - e.g. harrassment of public officials and doctors, racially-motivated crimes, etc.

There are many problems with this reasoning, but the biggest one is that if true, it should have rightfully caused mob behaviour.

Gaza War (2023-present): <100k deaths
Ukraine War: <1 million deaths
Korean War: 2-3 million deaths
Vietnam: 1.3-3.4 million deaths

Chat gpt -> ASI-> eternal life

Uh, there is 0 logical connection between any of these three, when will people wake up. Chat gpt isn't an oracle of truth just like ASI won't be an eternal life granting God
Depending how we count, there have been a dozen or so pandemics comparably novel or deadly to the 1977 flu in the last fifty years. Of those, at least one was research-origin.

So are you really saying p ~ 1/12 is an "extraordinary claim"? Is a 6'1" American man "extraordinarily tall"? There's unfortunately no standard map between English phrases and numerical probabilities, but I think most people would understand a much lower probability. If you really want to define it that way, then "extraordinary evidence" is likewise diluted to the point that the circumstantial case (emergence in Wuhan, DEFUSE) brings research origin easily into contention.
Aren't salaries considered to be part of the costs?
3 million a year for 5 person is something like 400k/person after corporate tax. Which is pretty high and low at the same time(unless it is just freelancing). High in the sense that there would be competition and the other company will have more budget to reduce the price and make the entire segment unprofitable till you die. Low in the sense that you would likely make the same or higher in corporate if you are that skilled to net 3 million/year.
Great interview. Andreessen was a Democrat who, one day, realized that he could get more by trading abortion, clean energy and trans rights for a seat at the Republican table. He didn’t like the terms for the equivalent chair among Democrats.

We’re beginning to see analyses talking about a reordering of social issues since the 2008 near-collapse. Andreessen cherry-picks when the cure is worse than the disease, so 2008 doesn’t come up in this at all.

One big inversion is the swamp. The DOGE is an unelected attendant government, bulging out of the frontier between executive and legislative branches. It could fail and need to be bailed out. It could succeed and deliver solutions to the mostly-social issues Andreessen feels personally attack him.

As long as I’ve been a Republican it’s mythological but well-supported that Democrats govern better, and the interviewer in this piece knows why. Andreessen is well-rehearsed in his faction’s talking points, much better than, say, JD Vance.

What I see is Andreessen basking in the afterglow of Trump doing a 180 on crypto. Not even the first issue 180. But he has a point: it’s too fashionably biased to choose a president based on principles.
One thing about used shops whether they are book stores or art antique ones is there’s two kinds. One simply tries to make money. But the second is a representation of a persons mind. Usually these shops the space is owned but not rented. But you can clearly see inside of the mind without understanding the mind of these people. Like, why does this book shop have a whole section of typewriter written new age religious manifestos with accompanying cassette tapes? Why does this antique shop have mannequins with fish heads everywhere?
This is just the same thing as asking ChatGPT to translate original Putin speeches to English, for example. When it refuses stuff like that it really does seem like some intercept triggered and it was just "told" to apologize and refuse.

Though with current political changes in the US this might change, we'll see.

Stretching? Never! I see your 4-clue, o1, and raise you “QUEUE” for 5:

- Line (Standing in the queue…)
- London (they’re all queued up, innit?)
- Log (*backend distsys handwaving*)
- Mail (what do you think an inbox is, anyway?!)
- Round (homophone “Q” is a typographically round letter)
You're assuming that they all work the same. I've been living in an apartment for the last 15 years where it is indeed mostly on/off. 0-2 = nothing, 3 = in some rooms the radiator will be warm to the touch but not radiate, 4-5 = warm.

It's not the end of the world, we generally have them off until we need to turn them on, and then it's not too warm, and after the winter they're off again for 9 months.
OP here with additional details requested by several of the commenters. Thanks so much to everyone for your responses on this thread, as well as those who reached out via email with suggestions and opportunities for collaboration.

Description of the stack:

- The frontend is a TypeScript Next.js app, with Prisma and RDS Postgres for persistence, and S3 for storing files uploaded by users.

- On the backend I have a BullMQ worker for handling asynchronous tasks such as audio/video transcription, backed by Redis.

- A Telegram bot that allows quickly adding resources from a phone and for having practice conversations with AI.

- Everything is deployed via a Github Actions pipeline, with images hosted on ECR and other AWS resources deployed using Terraform.

Preferably the solution would allow me to reuse at least parts of the existing CI/CD pipeline and Terraform for managing resources. Some of the suggestions by commenters such as running this on a machine in my home, while may be optimal from a cost minimization perspective, compromise a bit too much on quality-of-life for me—not simply from a developer perspective, but I also live somewhat of a nomadic lifestyle and prefer to have few physical possessions.

I already tried applying for AWS Activate but was rejected due to not meeting their criteria. I do not have a company or non-profit entity formally set up for this project. It initially started as a research project purely for personal interest, to explore how LLMs can be used for memory augmentation (in general, not just for language learning). I’ve been a user of conventional SRS tools such as Anki for many years, and have been frustrated by certain UX limitations that hindered consistent long-term use. Initially, I built it as a tool for myself, with me as the sole target audience. Onboarding foreign monks in Thailand was a fortuitous occurrence that I had not initially anticipated.
It's probably moved somewhere else.

But the whole "it was not legal" insinuation by the word "again" is bullshit in the first place.

It was never illegal to start with.
It has, since day one. The fact that the WIH was one of only 6 institutions in the world that had been conducting GoF research on bat-related pathogens before the pandemic gives such strong statistical evidence towards it that any theory holding the WIH is unrelated, would require very strong evidence. At no point has there been such strong evidence.
If he has to carry a controller as well, I don't see the benefit. Together with the controller the setup will be bigger than the steam deck.
SimulaVR will do this (NUC+battery), but on a VR headset.

Thanks for summing this up! I'm also in the thousands of rows space at the moment and that's probably why I've fallen in the query planning trap that many pointed out.
You're right that we should still do the research. But we should be doing it on an island, or a ship at sea, with supplies delivered by drone, and as little population exchange as possible.
