NNs don't benefit from economies of scale. Or rather specifically about how a majority of low utilization users can subsidize high utilization users. In NN world every new free tier user adds the same additional performance demand as the previous free users, every free user query needs to utilize a lot of compute.

So for example, there is a ratio of 10% paid users and 90% free users (just random numbers, not real). If they want more revenue they want to add more paid users, for example double them. But this means that free users needs to double too. And every real free user requires a lot of compute for his queries. Nothing to be cached, because all are different. No way to meaningfully offer "limited" features because the main feature is the LLM, maybe it is previous gen and a little bit cheaper to run, but not much. They can't offer too old software, because competitors will offer better quality and win.

So there is no realistic way to bring costs down. Analysts forecast they actually need to increase prices a lot to meet OAI targets, or it needs to have a financial intravenous line constantly, like the 500B$ announced by Trump.
This isn't serious, right? I'm rooting for Anthropic and really enjoy 3.5 Sonnet, but as a consumer product OpenAI has opened up quite a gap. And that's without o3-mini, which might debut next week.

That said it was interesting to hear Anthropic's CEO describe themselves as an enterprise company that happened to have a consumer product. I think it was with WSJ/Joanna Stern — he mentioned they really focus first on their enterprise roadmap and fit consumer in when they can. Seems to explain my Claude is so far behind on features like web search and voice mode.
How are the pedals not moving with the chain?

Not even this would be incredibly dangerous (pants caught on the chain? the motor won’t be stopping at all), but it would make it an illegal e-bike in much of the world since it doesn’t qualify as pedal assist, it’s now a flimsy motorcycle.
So much this!

Though were I currently live, this means looking out onto the neighbours fence. Hoping to move soon to get a betting working space.
I was just looking for something like this, is this similar to RunwayML and their editor?

I’m in the US so I would start with immediately ending all funding, military and political support for Israel. They’ve been able to be belligerent because we empowered that. Then I would sanction US companies that operate in Israel until apartheid is fully ended and a singular democratic state exists and the right of return is honored with reparations. I think we’d either see Israel play ball or collapse ala Rhodesia. Focusing on putting economic pressure on Israel seems like the most peaceful solution but I wouldn’t deny Palestinians a military option if that was all they had.
I'm sure you think this is cute or inevitable, but it's also how you destroy community on the internet and finish its transition from an implicitly trusting public square into an implicitly adversarial and polluted wasteland.

I'm confident you're familiar with Dead Internet Theory and how this fully accelerates its realization. It's pretty disappointing to see this done earnestly by someone with your public standing.

Really cool writeup and I have to say that your little animated logo at the footer looks incredibly good. On the homepage your new-old buttons for social media are also incredible. Thanks for all of your work keeping that style alive.
So I'll caveat this by saying we were a couple of Australians living in the UK and one of the big differences we noticed between Australia and the UK is just how damn clearly delineated the seasons are in the UK. In Australia they all kind of smudge into one another while in the UK it's really very clearly 4 very distinct phases of the year.

One of the byproducts of this is that we found UK winter in London to be pretty damn hard to get through. London is an incredible city and there's a lot to love about it, but the winters are honestly a fucking slog. We discovered that UK winters are way more tolerable if you have the opportunity to get out into the countryside with proper gear and just enjoy the natural beauty as much as possible. It a cliche, but there is something delightful about a big walk in the cold that ends at a country pub with a good meal and a roaring fire.

Bristol in particular is a beautiful city for a number of reasons.

Decent sized - so there's always something to do and jobs and conveniences are available (at least pre-Brexit)

Amazing music pedigree - still good for live music and some incredible bands came out of Bristol and surrounding areas.

University town - so good nightlife and fun things to do.

The river Avon - it's a river town which allows for lovely walks and natural beauty

Decent hospitality - Coffee in the UK is often seen as a fucking crime scene by Australians but there are decent independent cafes here and there in the city

Engineering history - The man with the best name in the world Isambard Kingdom Brunel was an incredible engineer from Bristol who left his mark in a number of ways (not least the extraordinary Bristol suspension bridge which we lived almost directly under)

It's just really beautiful - things like the pastel painted houses along the hills of the city make it incredibly picturesque
70 is still more than 40 more deaths for blacks. 100% of 1 is just one where 10% of 1 million is 100,000. So would 100,000 deaths be better because it's a lower percentage? What connection does civilian on civilian homicide rate have to police on civilian fatality rate anyway?
If you turn on "show dead", there's an unusually large and alarming number of dead replies on this ranging from fairly banal flame baiting to outright bigotry and slurs. That alone probably shows the value in having these kinds of dedicated niche community sites.
when i was visiting vienna there were 3 meetups every week. after covid! so i believe they recovered pretty well. it would be sad if they are the exception and i hope others will get back to their previous level of activity too.
I agree, but there was no mention on how these platforms pay people if they have a lot of engagement. Initially it was more predatory, but now X, FB, YT, they pay those who are generating the content, and it's a viable small business, if I'm not mistaken.

So it has evolved to be both a social media platform and a business platform, which seems more/less balanced. That said, it's the media part of if that is becoming old and boring. Looking at posts, commenting on threads, watching stupid short videos that have no point, etc. (and in this regard I think YouTube is safe and is the most stable). This is why Zuck was betting on VR, but it is definitely premature and badly executed. If VR actually becomes lightweight glasses, then this is definitely the future.

I think there could be a paradigm shift before VR, maybe something powered by AI. I can see social media becoming an AI assistant that you talk to and then use it to connect with others. However I don't see any signs of anyone pushing in this direction. It seems they will run the current status quo into the ground as the article points out.
Scammers use Venmo to 'deceive and defraud customers' on flights
Yes, I feel the same way. Anything less than having the compiler/interpreter automatically resolve `import <URL>` is idiotic and a massive waste of everyone's time.

"Modules" are a stupid over-engineered concept that is significantly worse in every way to includes that can be qualified/namespaced.

The fact that so many programmers defend this pointless nonsense is one of the many reasons I can't take this industry seriously anymore. "Engineers" overcomplicate loading a text file.
Still waiting for the Feynman Lectures on Mario Physics to drop :-).

I thought this was a great way to practice data analysis, I wonder if you could correlate it with registered trademarks from Nintendo. Specifically do they always trademark the whole name? Or are there specific 'Mario' trademarks in the specific color scheme.

The other thing that I pondered was if this was a scheme to detect/delay counterfeiters of Mario game cartridges. Back in the day there were a lot of dodgy game carts on the "used" market. Coming out with a different color ordering would force the counterfeiters to take some time to change their artwork before shipping their goods.
I would think the pedals would stay in the same position because of the back ratcheting. Think of when you're going down a hill and you hold your pedals still while accelerating down. I'm no bike expert though, I may be wrong haha.
The new idea is to push out shit when baking and incrementally improve as many users test for free.

Or maybe not new. I remember Power BI was barely useable back in 2018 as the editor lacks a lot of things.
I know someone who paid off their credit card debt with an inheritance of roughly that size. It completely changed their outlook on life. Before every month was a struggle to just stay on top of the credit cards. Now they are debt-free and are actually able to save a bit of money every month. And for example able to go eat out without struggle.

Mind you by hn standards this is on a miniscule income. Still, many people are struggling hard and a windfall like this can make a huge difference in quality of life.

I've found very niche groups in Reddit to be huge sources of information, not even interrogating LLMs can possibly provide as much value. Though you will keep fighting Reddit's recommendations all day, every day.

Curious, does a proxy also tend to encrypt the data streamed between it and the end user like a VPN service would?

That is, does the ISP have access to the information that's being accessed via the proxy?

It was my understanding that proxies tending to mask where a request came from but does nothing significant with the data between it and the requester.

Ask HN: who are the great new writers about programming and startups?
I just sent two co-workers a link to 2006 article from Joel on Software (this one: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/06/16/my-first-billg-review/ ) to explain a management style we were observing. Then I thought, I don't know who to follow for great writing about programming and startups anymore! PG, and patio11, and Joel are all great, but they are all... old (with apologies to Patrick, who I think is by far the youngest on this list).

If you appreciate great writing, and you like reading about the business of software and programming, who are you reading these days?

(Note I said READING so, while I love podcasts and Youtube, I'm looking especially for written work work.)
On the plus side, people who understand money, from where it comes and where it went are on the working group.

The Experimental archaeology wikipedia article also has a quite exhaustive list on other sites and representation of the topic in popular culture:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_archaeology#Examp...
That does happen. Still there is a reason many avoid it. Probably every significant project has places where they do that. Still if it isn't in main it is always a little "magic" and that means hard to understand how the program works. (or worse randomly doesn't work because something is used before it is initialized)
The article wrap up with this salient point:

- int new_value = *(int *)oidp->oid_arg1;
+ int new_value = *(uint16_t *)oidp->oid_arg1;

Why not just have `uint16_t new_value = ...`?

Ahh, because `new_value` is being given to `sysctl_handle_int(..., &new_value, ...);` which of course expects an `int`. So then it begs the question: if the value is really a `uint16_t`, then why is it being handled through a plain `int`? It smells like there could easily be tons of other memory-safety and/or type confusion problems endemic to the sysctl API.

Bcachefs is experimental, and last I heard, the authors hope to be able to declare it not experimental in ~6 months. To me, that's 'try on a cache server/build server' territory, not on anything where you even think about backing it up.

Kent Overstreet does have a problem working with people; I can well believe that interactions around bugs were painful. He likely he should try to hire someone else to deal with users and distributions and use his limited patience to deal with the kernel maintainers. But it sounds like the OP was a bit naive about what it means to run an experimental FS.
I suspect a lot more people got to use Beebs than Spectrums, because of shared hardware in schools...

But the Speccy outsold the Beeb by a large margin, I believe. Narrowly outsold by the C64 and that shifted 17 million units.

Unfortunately I think it's more a function of forum size than topic. I say 'unfortunately' because there's a nasty feedback loop of site-being-good -> site-getting-bigger -> site-attracting-badness -> site-getting-worse.

Sometimes I describe this as "there's a cap on how good HN can ever get", but HN is just a placeholder there for any forum of comparable size.

Different goals. If your goal is pursuing hobbies or a certain lifestyle, work is a means to achieve that. Getting money just lets you skip the work part.

Their goal is creating a successful business. Having money and leaving the business means now they have no goal.

Because we have intellectual artefacts from that time that show us. Artefacts that underlay much of modern society, and that in many respects still hold up, even though we've built upon them for 20 generations.
Yeah I didn't mean to talk that down, it's just the most no-brainer thing to do. As in, it's so obviously a good idea that any good portfolio will have a chunk devoted to that.

Desegregation literally required armed troops escorting black students into white schools.

And there are no limits on the methods of direct action, certainly none dictated by the oppressors. If you believe otherwise, I will remind you of the pride Americans take in the violent revolution that founded their nation, and why the Second Amendment exists.

You cannot found a nation on the premise that political violence is necessary for a free state and then claim that there are limits to what those seeking freedom can do to achieve it. These are the rules to America's game.
It's what individual people want to do. The diversity statement says "no, that's not what we want as a company."

Feedback AI Agent to Tell You Your Purpose in Life
Hey everyone, please be kind.

I’ve been thinking about how so many people are unsure of what they want to do with their lives. What if there was a tool that could help you discover your purpose and guide you on what you should be doing, so you’re not just wasting time?

I’d love to hear your thoughts—would you use a tool like that if it existed? Any feedback would be really appreciated!
Is it even exploitable in the real world?

Correct me if I'm wrong but you get 2 bytes of kernel data (potentially blank padding) and the same two bytes each time?
what if the project is all i have? no family or friends etc
His side is that basically it doesn't make sense to package the tools for an experimental FS in an OS that's going to get very far behind, as debian stable will do, since the tools have to iterate rapidly to fix problems with releases of the FS. Debian-stable had an old set of some rust libraries and the packager relaxed the dependency constraints in order to package it, which doesn't make a lot of sense on something you are hoping to fix your filesystem.

Basically it shouldn't be packaged for LTS-class OS releases until it's not experimental.
Show HN: SaasKit – A Next.js SaaS Boilerplate with AI, shadcn/UI and stripe
