Yes, definitely less of a company that exists to maximize profit but more of a public service for the greater good. Platforming bad people isn’t ideal but in my opinion, it’s important and those groups should look pathetic in comparison to the majority. I’d imagine memberships in the thousands while more popular beliefs have hundreds of thousands.

At the end of the day, they are our fellow countrymen and we all need to know where we stand. If they were somehow the majority, that doesn’t reflect poorly on application but poorly on the society we live in. It’s like a mirror.

I also want to add that it exists to organize practical action. In these indexes, there would exist mechanisms to organize people politically in the real world with direction and funding. I think how there are so many local elections that go unopposed or have meager voting turnout. These elections could be displayed and individual indexes could actually crowdfund and run candidates on their behalf. People which might never vote in these elections all the sudden are realizing that 500 people in their small town believe the exact same thing as them (not just go blue or go red) and can actually !win! an election. Their candidate is now elected and a direct member of their index which they can talk to and have advocate for them.

The big idea is the bottom up approach could eventually lead to the platform getting senators or governors elected by users of the network if indexes become large enough and potentially threaten the traditional two party system when people realize they don’t stand alone in their distinct beliefs and can do something about it. Pretty cool and pretty powerful (:
I've seen several posts and projects like this. Is there a summary/comparison somewhere of the various ways of running local completion/copilot?
A is the most consistent (green), but you can see how over time the M settled into being red and almost never deviates from that now. Great post!
Progressive tax rates for companies!
Inspiring. Congrats!
Yes, many can answer the compsci and physics problems. The math problem is abstract and more difficult, but solving those 3 and 2 others seems nearly superhuman.
Compelling as a player or as a spectator?

As a player, it depends on how good the AI is at chess. If it’s better than me, I’ll have no idea what’s going on. If it’s worse than me, that’ll leave me feeling frustrated. If it’s as strong as me, what’s the point? So… it doesn’t sound compelling either way.
I can't seem to find a reference at the moment.

I think I saw a talk on this years ago. The idea is that the circuit complexity of adders is high because of carry cascade but since Gray codes only ever flip a single bit on increments, then a Gray code counter can be made very simple and have no glitch states. Might have showed up in the context of asynchronous VLSI designs.
I would assume most non-trans people aren't willing to date trans people, so there's probably a pretty glaring need for them to have their own spaces.

My huband is pretty tech illiterate. I set up a serv.arr ecosystem routed through a VPN and showed him how to add a search for a movie he wants.

Man, he has been sailing harder than I ever did in my youth. The majority of our torrent traffic is now his requests and not mine.

Sure he doesn't grok how it works other than some allusions to limewire, but that doesn't really matter.

If you have an experienced sailor behind you, piracy is now orders of magnitude easier than paying for seventeen streaming services. You don't have to know or care which service has your show this week, you punch in the name and some time later a file appears in jellyfin. He's even started loading up searches before the media is released. Servarr will catch it when it's uploaded and we'll get a pleasant surprise one day when it appears in jellyfin.

Servarr is a total game changer.
I always thought the reason Rekordbox became the standard was to get around the 4GB limitation of FAT32-formatted USBs.

What about using a weak AI to allow a more fair game between weak and strong human players?
I remember tools that worked with the Wikipedia dumps, in bzip2, and built indexes to allow decent random access. Once you know where the compressed blocks are, and which Wikipedia entries they contain, you could start from a given block, something like 900k, rather than start at the beginning of the file. Compressing roughly a megabyte at a time, rather than a page, is a pretty solid win for compressibility.
Interesting observation looking even a little bit beyond the superficial marketing copy. Peel back even one layer and find out there's only a single video, empty Youtube channel, 5000 subscribers (in India), and a product that seems like it never went anywhere. For all the stuff that gets crazy valuations, seems like there's so many of these that might be unicorns that end up falling through the cracks of investment.
Well, sincerely, my objective here is to spark thought provoking discussion, which should lead to personal cognitive improvements. But I must admit that it's kinda not my fault that the format I chose is really provocative.

edit: And doesn't that defeat the purpose of a nerd-rich forum like Hacker News? The stifling of creativity and abstract thoughts? I came here to socialize and find bright minds, no offense.
Not to mention the fact that the last place you want to add a bunch of mass is the front wheel of a bicycle.
50k is enough to comfortably live on for a year even in Germany, much more so in other countries. Allows you to completely change perspectives or to pivot your entire career.
Ben - so glad I stumbled on this article. Love this kind of graphical stuff (I'm a huge sucker for psychedelia) and I really enjoyed your videos on your channel. Thanks for sharing!
Please stop.

No, and no. I always log in with Bitwarden and news.ycombinator.com is the only entry that uses this email address.
It’s no good, get stuck in infinite loops and it couldn’t order me a chicken fried rice from Uber eats in 10 minutes so idk why they even released it. Dont they have 500B, why take my 200$ lol
Correct. It's a Fastmail masked email address.
Hard agree. This alone replaces GH Copilot/Cursor ($10+ a month)
I'm not worried about whose fault it is, I just need you to stop posting like this to Hacker News. As I said, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. And it's particularly dismaying to see in a thread such as this one.
What is the deal with this Twitter scam?
This is a fake account for Senator Cynthia Lummis

https://x.com/SenLcummis

It is a gold account tied to a company called "EdgeCortix"

EdgeCortix appears legit (linked in profile: https://www.linkedin.com/company/edgecortix/) , but there is a fake account also calling itself EdgeCortix that has added these fake accounts as affiliates:

https://x.com/edgecortixAI/affiliates

What happened here? Did someone try to register Twitter Gold on behalf of a fake EdgeCortix, or was EdgeCortix hacked?

Not a surprise Twitter Gold is being abused by scammers.
One of the main selling points of the app is that you can filter posts by distance, to facilitate people meeting and talking with their community.
"invited" :D
Beware if you have UK users, you should read the new law in the UK called the online safety act.

Your site has young trans people, sexual content, and would also be a target for grooming from chasers. The risks, for you, are very high.
I am a little disturbed by how many Mario games that is. Wow.
Hmmm. I can see how it would be more painful for them to fight, but most people were conned <$200, and it's rather self-sacrificing to fight for that. Plus, no-one wants a reputation as litigious, but starting a CAL is less conducive to creating that reputation.

I only submitted before Nov 1st, so I'm not sure to what extent I was personally conned.
5 mile range is pretty serious, it narrows someones locations down to a single town in the entire world. Just dont store it at all and you're all good.
You're right! I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out and I'm sure most readers didn't either.

Hopefully Byran doesn't mind that glitch in this otherwise rapturous and justly triumphant reception :)

I feel like this thread is helping HN to reorganize itself around its proper purpose.
Fascinating. We can only wonder what new stuff will be gleaned
unfortunately the entire global system is designed so that more has to be sold than last year. in the US as a publicly traded corporation you are legally liable to make more than the year before... we're lucky cars even last as long as they do now...
Congrats! Would be interesting to see the growth rate of the company.
I think the chat interface is bad, but for certain things it could honestly streamline a lot of mundane things as the poster you're replying two stated.

For example, McDonald's has heavily shifted away from cashiers taking orders and instead is using the kiosks to have customers order. The downside of this is 1) it's incredibly unsanitary and 2) customers are so goddamn slow at tapping on that god awful screen. An AI agent could actually take orders with surprisingly good accuracy.

Now, whether we want that in the world is a whole different debate.
I find some of her paintings to be loosely similar to some of Italian futurists or Italian avant garde painters, especially dudreville https://www.futurismo.org/leonardo-dudreville/ (I think it's in italian only)

Another in depth article in English about an exhibition and the origin and themes of futurism and Italian avant garde painters, although different from the themes of helene's paintings https://www.finestresullarte.info/en/ab-art-base/futurism-or...
I agree that many aspects of intelligence—and of the lack of intelligence—are not being measured by such benchmarks. One issue is they are only examining problems that have right answers.

One of the most powerful uses of LLMs for me, at least, is brainstorming: having them suggest possible avenues for me to pursue with specific projects I am working on. If I give Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini enough context about my problems, they usually come up with useful suggestions—sometimes amazingly well. Are they better at that than the smartest human? I don't know. How do you quantify the quality of an idea? But those ideas often seem really, really good to me.

Another difficult-to-measure capability is interaction. Back-and-forth conversations with models don't always go well, but when they work they frequently blow me away. But those successes are dependent partly on the model, partly on me, and partly on how the conversation happens to unfold. Again, that success or failure doesn't seem measurable with benchmarks that require objectively right answers.
I have a CVT in my 2017 H6 Outback and the traction control is very easy to turn off. Two buttons and both the traction and spin control is off and now it is just AWD with a limited slip differential in the back (feels pretty similar to my 2006 Outback H6 which had no electronic traction control). You can wheelspin all day if you want or feather the throttle or whatever - offroad driving has been amazing
Node does have the same thing, and you can access it with `--expose-internals` from `const { getStringWidth } = require("internal/util/inspect");`. They don't expose it for some reason.
Congratulations!

Just curious, usually being purchased by a Private Equity firm spells a death knell for the company. Of course at the right price it makes sense that you wanted to sell it away, but what are your thoughts about what will happen to the company now?
This is an interesting alternative to existing kits where you need to replace a wheel (hub-drive) or do surgery on your bottom bracket (typical mid-drive). It also appears to not need an external charger (the charge port appears to be a universal C14, the same as a computer) which is very convenient.

On the downsides, I have severe doubts over the battery cell quality at that price point, and it looks significantly heavier than other options from the metal case alone (I don't see actual specs for weight).

Love the demo video. The mud and fire scenes made me cringe, which I'm sure is exactly what they were going for (as the motor keeps spinning regardless of the foul treatment)!

I will keep my standard mid-drive conversion kit (I've used TSDZ2 and DM-02 in the past) but always love to see alternatives coming online for other segments of the market.
The producers got like a 100 million deal from Disney to start making shows for them, IIRC.
> This is what Siri was supposed to be one day when Steve Jobs introduced it on that stage but unfortunately that day never arrived.

The irony is, the reason neither Siri nor Alexa nor Google Assistant/Now/${whatever they call it these days} nor Cortana achieved this isn't the voice side of the equation. That one sucks too, when you realize that 20 years ago Microsoft Speech API could do better, fully locally, on cheap consumer hardware, but the real problem is the integration approach. Doing interop by agreements between vendors only ever led to commercial entities exposing minimal, trivial functionality of their services, which were activated by voice commands in the form of "{Brand Wake word}, {verb} {Brand 1} to {verb} {Brand 2}" etc.

This is not an ergonomic user interface, it's merely making people constantly read ads themselves. "Okay Google, play some Taylor Swift on Spotify" is literally three brand ads in eight words you just spoke out loud.

No, all the magical voice experience you describe is enabled[0] by having multimodal LLMs that can be sicced on any website and beat it into submission, whether the website vendor likes it or not. Hopefully they won't screw it up (again[1]) trying to commercialize it by offering third parties control over what LLMs can do. If, in this new reality, I have to utter the word "Spotify" to have my phone start playing music, this is going to be a double regression relative to MS Speech API in the mid 2000s.

[0] - Actually, it was possible ever since OpenAI added function calling, which was like over a good year ago - if you exposed stuff you care about as functions on your own. As it is, currently the smartphone voice assistant that's closest to Star Trek experience is actually free and easy to set up - it's Home Assistant with its mobile app (for the phone assistant side) and server-side integrations (mostly, but not limited to, IoT hardware).

[1] - Like OpenAI did with "GPTs". They've tried to package a system prompt and function call configuration into a digital product and build a marketplace around it. This delayed their release of the functionality to the official ChatGPT app/website for about half a year, leading to an absurd situation where, for those 6+ months, anyone with API access could use a much better implementation of "GPTs" via third-party frontends like TypingMind.
I buy lotto tickets because my friends do a pool. I'm not sure I'd be happy with the money, but I am very sure I'd be very unhappy if I was a schmuck who didn't put in a very small amount (to me) of money to be in the pool. I consider it insurance more than anything!
Well said. And then... even after all that, it's probably not legal, and no insurance company will insure the bike or you if you get into an accident.
I think PG was correct here about Oracle, as it leaves the door open to being a much bigger product rather than being too niche, which ironically sounds like the reason the company failed. You can imagine lots of situations in deployment where having a monitoring “source of judgement” about running systems could be developed. Not just security, but say performance, efficiency, cost.

It’s not explained in the essay why the author was so certain PG was wrong.

If PG hated “Reddit” and the mascot, I would say he was correct again. Reddit could have been a much bigger idea, but the branding excludes a lot of demographics and types of content. It helps to make Reddit what it is, but also what it is not. That can be helpful, but in the startup game you want to be biased towards generality: “Google”, “Apple” not “websearchengine” or “foundit” or “homecomputerco” or “appyphone.”

It’s a bit like being a good coder: you develop a sense of test for elegance, simplicity, leaving the door open to expansion… and it sounds like PG has (unsurprisingly) refined taste in naming.
Are you asking for proof of you being a shill right after you accused me of being a shill? Where was your proof?

That’s just the CDN’s convention, not a part of the language.

Though, I’m not surprised about plastic containing PFAS, I had higher expectations of the offerings provided by Apple.

Most consumers do not have the bandwidth to read papers, or skim through articles/news for every product they buy.
Therefore, they indirectly assume, when choosing an expensive option, there’s been some assurance put into the product.

As it looks like now, I would have been better off buying a watch band from AliExpress, rather than an expensive band from Apple/Nike..
Interesting, I did not know about this one!

It does sound a bit like the Cheval’s Ideal Palace, well worth a visit as well (and also in France like Guédelon, though not in the same area): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Cheval
Where exactly have I defended it? Can you cite the words please?
I can run 7B models with Q4 quantization on a 7000 series AMD APU without GPU acceleration quite acceptably fast. This is with DDR5600 RAM which is the current roadblock for performance.

Larger models work but slow down. I do have 64GB of RAM but I think 32 could work. 16GB is pushing is, but should be possible if you don't have anything else open.

Memory requirements depend on numerous factors. 2GB VRAM is not enough for most GenAI stuff today.
Another British morse code in music story: in the title theme of the 1980s sitcom "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em", the rhythm of the notes is a deliberate morse code which spells out the title of the show.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Mothers_Do_%27Ave_%27Em#T...

What the Wikipedia page doesn't mention this, but I read long ago that the composer of the tune received only a small one-time payment for it and no royalties, despite the popularity of the show.
> I'm within the 99.9999% of Americans who have nothing to hide

Let's not encourage the "nothing to hide" arguments here -- the reality is that almost everyone has plenty to hide.
Bravo, @paraschopra What an incredible journey. I remember when you launched. I hadn't realized it was 16 years ago!

I'll hit you up privately with an invite to tell your story on Startups for the Rest of Us. It's a fitting place for a bootstrapper like yourself.
I think there's always argument that you don't know what you don't know. How much thought do you put on writing code with out bugs. Bug could be caused by the business logic, the language internals, the runtime environment internal and variation. I think what people often ignore writing piece of software is an iterative process, you build, deploy and learn from the operation and you fix and repeat.

If you keep thinking of all possible issues that can happen that becomes a blackhole and you dont deliver anything.
> "Intelligence" itself is very ill-defined

While this is true, it is well agreed upon (by domain experts) that intelligence is distinct from knowledge recall. But that's what most of these tests... test.

If you look at IQ tests you'll see that they are attempts to test things that aren't knowledge based. You'll also notice that the main critiques of IQ tests are about how they often actually measure knowledge and that there's bias in natural knowledge acquisition. So even the disagreements about the definition of intelligence make clear that knowledge and intelligence are distinct. I feel that often people conflate "intelligence is ill-defined" with "intelligence has no definition." These two are not in opposition. Being ill-defined is more like "I know I left my phone in the house, but I'm not sure where." This is entirely different from "I lost my phone, it is somewhere in California" or "It is somewhere on Earth" and clearly different from "I lost my phone. I'm unsure if I had a phone. What even is a phone?"

Also curious what "50%" means in their specs; the top power for the motor is 250W and top speed of 25kph would take ~100W on flat ground, which would throw off your calculations considerably. (Not that I take issue with your calculations, they just haven't published enough data to know what you'd actually be getting.)
I personally thought it would have been a pretty decent storyline if executed properly. Daenerys' father was the mad king after all, so it was rather fitting.
Deno does this.

They ended up adding dependency files later on to make it possible to keep package versions in sync without changing every file on every version change.
Presented on a map with a time slider would be a nice way to explore.
Again, if you see a bug, fix it. If you are already in a section of code, read through all of it. And heck, if you are not running late on anything, feel free to start trying to re-architect parts that you think are off.

If I'm just caught by a strawman at the start of the essay, apologies on that. I legit don't know anyone that casually encourages bugs as long as you have features. Tolerances are a thing, but so is negligence.
For casual readers: Blanchard's theories are widely discredited and "Autogynephile" is considered an impolite term among trans people.
It's not a false dichotomy - the entire analogy to poison makes no sense, because US or China spying on people's activity on-line is currently a complete nothingburger. If anything, adtech is actually doing real harm to people this way, but that harm is still relatively small and indirect, which is why most people don't care.
How to build your own ZX80/ZX81 (2019)
A nearby VLF station was transmitting its 'GBR' callsign.
That practice is pretty widespread in Canada. Ever since metrification nobody is really sure whether the person they're talking to is more comfortable with miles or kilometres. So they just use time.
2G is pretty low and the sizes things you can get to run fast on that set up probably aren't particularly attractive. "moderate hardware" varies but you can grab a 12 GB RTX 3060 on ebay for ~$200. You can get a lot more RAM for $200 but it'll be so slow compare the the GPU I'm not sure I'd recommend it if you actually want to use things like this interactively.

If "moderate hardware" is your average office PC then it's unlikely to be very usable. Anyone with a gaming GPU from the last several years should be workable though.
I doubt that, was just curious how it might compare in the article.
