Ooh, I know this one! I worked on historical asteroid observations categorization and precovery for a few years.

The MPC has many observations of unidentified moving object candidates. These are called “tracklets” and come from pairs of observations of the same patch of the sky by the same observatory, separated (typically) by a few minutes.

The “isolated tracklet file”, or ITF, is a catalog of all of these unidentified moving objects.

When an identification is made and submitted to the MPC, the MPC back-projects the orbit and checks the ITF for any past observations which might have actually been of this newly identified object.

Then, the designation’s timestamp is of the first matching observation. So in this case the ITF had an observation from back in 2018.

Occasionally, two “objects” turn out to be the same actual physical object, but we learn late. In this case, the MPC does maintain a list of “aliases” of the object, so you might get that “aka” list. But that is not quite what happened here.
While true, I'm kinda wondering if that's even possible ...
This was my takeaway as well, the paper was so simple I was shocked by it. We’ve been doing RL on LLMs for awhile now and it’s more surprising this didn’t happen sooner
I think you misunderstood me. My point is not that the law should align perfectly with my morality, it’s that in a functional democracy, there will _always_ be parties that have a moral position that does not align with the law. I believe it should be legal for them to protest, but in many cases it is not (speaking globally, not just in the USA). So I think it is good for protesters to be able to protect themselves, because my aspiration is that anyone who disagrees with the state should be able to make their voice heard.

So yes, to answer your question, I think my political opponents should be able to protest. If the state doesn’t allow them to, I am fine with them using tools to protect themselves legally.

The line I draw this at is violence and looting from innocents.

It seems you phrased your response as a “gotcha” but I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make?
Show HN: Quickly submit links to HN from any app on your Android device
I enjoy submitting interesting articles to HN when I run across them; however, I've found the submission process to be a bit tedious at times. To combat that, I've been using a browser extension[0] that will quickly send the link and title to HN. Unfortunately, most Android browsers don't support extensions, so submitting links to HN has required me to copy-paste the URL, manually select the page title, and then paste that into HN as well.
To combat this, I've created a small tool that I call Send HN. It leverages the system share APIs so that you can click the share button in your browser, feed reader, social media app, or really anything, and have what you're looking at sent directly to HN. The app even queries the URL to extract and prefill the page title!

This app is a little different than most apps you've used. Since my goal was to make sharing links to HN as dead-easy as possible, there is literally no UI in the app. When you install it, it won't show up in your app drawer; you'll only see it as a share target. I may add a barebones UI in the future, but for now it has none.

Disclaimer: I actually know practically nothing about dedicated Android app development, so I used Llama 3.3 70B to write pretty much all the code. It's actually quite satisfying for a small project like this to use an LLM to write and refine the code.

The app is GPLv3 and available on GitHub: https://github.com/LorenDB/SendHN

It...depends.

If you're not technical, signal is hands down the best solution.

If you have a group that's going to something and you are willing to take some extra steps, something like matrix/briar/simplex/whatever setup with a self hosted instance provides you with the knowledge that all the infrastructure is under your control and that the feds just aren't going to have the time to sit down and figure out how this shit works.

The thing this thread is wildly missing the point on is unless you off a ceo or are a prolific organizer, the feds are systematic. They pick a set of techniques and technologies that cast the widest net possible with the money they have, then spend their time trying to nail people within that venn diagram. Yes, security through obscurity is not ideal in-and-of-itself, but combined with encryption and chaos, you can get much farther than using the same stuff everyone else has been using for a decade+. If you stay near the leading edge of tech the feds are a decade behind you, they still have years of threat briefing powerpoints to sit through before they can even think about implementing a countermeasure.

You could find 1000 CVEs in briar but if only a handful of of people at a demonstration are using it, the feds are still going to be sitting there beating their heads against signal because that's what they know how to do. If they ever find a single high severity CVE in signal, it's game over for everyone.
No. That’s not the full quote. The full quote was minutes long and rambling. But you removed this for instance that was near that quote “You know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, 'Oh, gee, let's send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy”.

Cheney comes from a family of chicken hawks and lots of people have had similar quotes about them.
> It is a reflection of what a plurality, often majority, of people want.

Maybe in countries with multiple parties, proportional representation (or the like), and mechanisms to encourage voting like a holiday for elections.

But, everywhere else? It's a crapshoot..low turnout also doesn't help.
> The irony is the USA - the bastion of independence and freedom - ended up fighting against this and slaughtering huge numbers of people who simply wanted to run their own affairs.

The US didn't fight against independence.

The French were long gone by 1956. Diem kicked them out of South Vietnam when he pushed Emperor Bao Di out. The French were quite salty about it, and actively worked to undermine what the US was doing thereafter.

The US has no interest in making South Vietnam a vassal state. It was nothing more than a bulwark against perceived communist expansion (incorrectly perceived). It devolved into a civil war between opposing Vietnamese parties, with superpowers backing each side.
On top of it being more resistant, we haven’t made very many new medicines to fight it in the last ~50 years.

Thanks! That's consistent with my impression.
Even you working through this makes clear how it is to draw this line though. One extreme is only making names public after a conviction. That line is at least clear, though it does have downsides. Another extreme is making names public as soon as a person has ant interaction with police, similarly that is at least a clear line but has obvious issues.

Lines like this can't be drawn easily. When in doubt inaction from the government should be the default. In this case that would mean the government not publicizing names at all, just process a case and move on.
Hopefully we can course correct before we have to relearn lessons from the 1800s.
Bang bang! He murdered math! [video]
Maybe you can link to whatever data you're looking at. The article says one new active case and that the overall number of cases, including latent, are trending down. This is still consistent with this being a bigger deal last year than this year. The KS health data still shows 1 active for this year.
The final score is kind of a die roll, but I appreciate having at least a common vocabulary to discuss these. It also means that a given vendor can’t completely downplay they score. “Sure, it’s network accessible without authentication using wget, but we consider that a low.”

Intel unveils conflict-free processors: will the industry follow suit? (2014)
Agree, but the other part of the advice I think is important and maybe even not fully explained in this blog post. Taking great photos is about using great light, this matters more than composition (you can crop in post) in my opinion. Rule of thirds is just a guideline, not a rule, if you’ve got great light and an interesting subject I couldn’t care less where those thirds lines sit. I mostly shoot on an old hassleblad with 6x6 square negatives and I often frame my shots with my subjects in the middle of the frame.

I have also done what the OP is describing, scanning all my family’s negatives. I wanted to devote the amount of time it takes me to scan and color correct a frame to a scant few of the images. My family liked to take “snaps” of places and vacations (think non-descript cornfields or national park visitor centers) and hostage photos of the kids clearly taken against our will.

I taught myself how to shoot on film to learn what I was doing, but going to the community darkrooom was the real education. I learned how good photographers used the light and saw the world by watching them develop and seeing the end product. Photography is just like any other endeavor, you get out of it what you put into it. For your kids and your kids kids, don’t just put into it some AI-computationally adjusted selfies and snaps of the tops of kids heads. Put some effort in, figure out what good light is, and take candid photos.
Purelymail has been great! I've used it for about a year, no issues, just works and extremely cheap.

Show HN: A simple and local project management tool made 100% by Claude
Hi HN, I'll do my best to share this since I've never shared anything before on HN.

tldr: I used LLMs to create a project management tool to fit my exact needs by word-vomiting what I wanted into ChatGPT 4o and telling it to format a prompt that I could enter into Cursor's Composer (Claude-3.5-sonnet).

The linked page is a demo, and I'll be running it locally to actually use it.

I'm a product researcher in the sports industry, and while I have a technical background in science, my programming skills are very minimal and I've mainly used these basic skills for things like data wrangling and visualization.

I've been looking for a project management tool that I can use personally and professionally (I don't like the one at work), but I wanted it to be minimal and free to use. After searching and testing various tools I decided, jokingly at first, to have an LLM build the entire thing for me...and it built exactly what I wanted (definitely needed a bit of back and forth to refine things).

This post isn't to highlight the project itself, but to highlight how much LLMs can impact individuals like myself with some technical background, but limited coding abilities. I've had a lot of success using LLMs at work to help me understand code, port things over from matlab to python, and build functional tools that optimize my team's workflow. I'm blown away with how much these tools have helped me in the last year with building simple tools and automating mundane tasks, and I thought it might be interesting to share this as an example of how they've helped.

They've fixed their CMD app. 5 years ago, to enlarge the window, you had to tweak how many rows/columns you want to show, tweak with those until you have the desired window size. Now you can just resize like you would on any other app
Doesn't matter the reason. The fact is, if they wanted trump, they would have voted for him.
They absolutely count. The fact that you don't think so, says more about you than about them.
The team that contained SARSv1? No one contained it successfully. In fact, there were many lab leaks of it. The outbreak itself was stopped by basic measures like masks and screening. But it also was far less infectious than SARSv2.

Blaming Trump for COVID-19 makes no sense for other reasons too. There are so many other people to blame first. Fauci for funding GoF research at WIV through EHA. The CCP for being secretive and denying there was an outbreak for a while and not allowing investigations in Wuhan for over a year. The WHO for repeating CCP propaganda like claiming there was no human to human transmission roughly fourth months after the first scientists fell ill at WIV. Do you remember Pelosi and democrats downplaying the pandemic and accusing those who wanted to close borders of racism? She apparently had no regrets about all that:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-no-regrets-initial-c...

With all of this how can blame be placed on Trump? If anything his Operation Warp Speed program bailed out the planet from pandemic (with great work from vaccine manufacturers of course).
Well, if he worked at AWS as either an SA or in the consulting department (ProServe), it’s easy enough to legitimately do work on the company time and have the code accessible to him
after he leaves.

For those departments, once you know the process, you can submit your code - that doesn’t contain customer information - to be approved to be released as open source on AWS Samples with an MIT license.

https://github.com/aws-samples

The approval process doesn’t go through your manager. There is an entirely separate team and the turn around for approval is usually less than a week.

I was able to have access to all of the frameworks and utilities I wrote from scratch for customers after I left by going through the process. It was all above board.
It seems to me they chose the highest-profile Republican who would serve the role.
whoa, didn't know this project, looks really incredible, will add to my others search engines and give a try, thanks for the devs/creators and hope for success to you all!
I'm reading the IRS website and it says:

https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc409

> When you sell a capital asset, the difference between the adjusted basis in the asset and the amount you realized from the sale is a capital gain or a capital loss.

Am I misinterpreting this?
I like this and have a similar frame of mind. I wish more languages would make their sum types true duals of their structs (with a single payload datum - instead we have tuple variants and structure variants and so-on complicating matters for at best a character of syntax (but careful design could eliminate even that).

The author may be interested in coeffects as the dual of effects. They are pretty much as stated: coeffects are the context environment the that program executes in. This link has some prototypes of languages that let you create coeffects in your code: https://tomasp.net/coeffects/

I was going to bring up covariance vs contravariance but the author mentions they were skipped for brevity.

Finally I really think simplifying to the point we ignore the idea of consumed-produced values is unfortunate. Consider how “inout” parameters aren’t too much different to a mutable reference (though the change in binding may be more explicit in a pure functional language). From the article it’s pretty clear why inout/reference parameters need to be invariant (both covariant and contravariant). And there is a whole lot that this kind of reasoning can bring to understanding Rust’s borrow checker and possibly how to create something simpler with the same strengths. But for that we’d need to model immutable references, unique mutable references and dare I say also volatile references (the environment IS volatile, whether it’s your physical peripherals or your application database, and IMO not having a language construct for that makes life harder than needs be).
Yep, but that won't work on Android, which is the whole point of my app.
So OpenAI doesn’t need to burn through a trillion dollars in the next 10 years after all?

Cool.
The analogy breaks down in that rate of infection of a disease is historical but very much informs ongoing public health measures that should be taken.
I recently wrote an essay about this search engine, and its ranking algorithms.

Initially Marginalia used an interesting variant of PageRank discussed in the original paper, called Personal Pagerank.[1] Currently pages are ranked with BM25.

I think Personalized PageRank is still used for a new feature of Marginalia which is ranking pages based on similarity. I think this is already integrated into the website but there used to only be this testing page:
https://explore2.marginalia.nu/

In any case I have a lot of respect for the creator. Marginalia has seen a lot of growth and it's been interesting reading the blogposts.[2]

I can also attest to horrific lagspikes on an Optimus laptop even if Intel is driving the desktop. Memory pressure is definitely the problem here. Lagspikes actually lessened when I switched to Wayland Gnome. I think they lessened further with PREEMPT_RT on kernel 6.12. Nvidia requires an environment variable to build on real time kernels but it plays surprisingly nice as of driver 570. But if you have this config, you need at least 11th gen Intel iGPU or AMD APU, because i915 does not build for real-time kernels. Only the Xe driver works and only if you force_probe the ID if it's Tiger Lake.

...Which I don't get because the Xe driver is said to explicitly support, at minimum, Tiger Lake. I played Minecraft on the iGPU with Xe and it was perfectly fine. It... drew 3D graphics at expected framerates.
IIUC, the parent [1] is talking about 2 scenarios going on

1. If you're planning to commit arson you want to have encrypted radios to not get caught.

2. If you're planning a peaceful protest at a location somebody might commit arson you want an encrypted radio so you don't get unfairly punished.

I don't think anybody is arguing that (1) is desirable. They're arguing that the people involved with (2) shouldn't be punished for (1)'s crimes.

Same here. It's wonderful. I moved over when Gandi started charging for its e-mail hosting.
> Two years ago, they were on top of the world, having just introduced ChatGPT, and struck a big deal with Microsoft. Nobody else had a model close to GPT-4 level; media coverage of OpenAI was endless; customer adoption was swift. They could charge more or less what they wanted, with the whole world curious and no other provider. Sam Altman was almost universally adored. People imagined nearly infinite revenue and enormous profits.

Part of me likes to think of this as cosmic karma. I know it's been hounded on a lot lately, but the irony is too rich, especially with how hostile they've been to "Open AI."
The U.S. government owning half a social media company. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

It already has de-facto control of two (redacted) social media sites and a media network.

I remember when we had three networks. Will we now have just one?
Come on now. That's a super clickbait title. The article actually says the race is at a dead heat and LLM training for the same competency is getting cheaper, not that it's "over".
Rereading that makes me shake my head. Things didn't get that bad overnight. The fact that so many UX crimes were allowed to fester is proof that Microsoft doesn't care about or understand UX.
How do I select duckduckgo after pressing enter, because DeepL appears before DuckDuckGo?
The only losers in this AI race are probably humanity and overvalued stock markets. Kind of hard to price in years of future value and then to see some unknown Chinese AIs catch the big boys with their pants down.

I really can't over emphasize the "humanity losing" point, though.
This is awesome! I recovered the only copy of COS (http://www.chrisfenton.com/cos-recovery/), but we never really had a way to use it.
In some of the other cases listed in the article such as 1966-084B (2020 SO) the position was unknown until they found it and as such no central database could have helped them, but it's unclear why Horizons would not help with the Roadster given they could query it with the observed position.
The author of the article is known to be consistently wrong about AI.
> Sam Altman was almost universally adored.

Ya, I'm going to need some sources for this bad boy lol
Luck is the intersection of preparation and opportunity. In this case lots of opportunity and zero preparation.
"zap" has never meant to remove anything, in general, where are you getting this?
Facing issues with using the platform , Here are the details I am trying build a financial analytics platform. The software is designed to process large datasets for risk assessment and our test scenario involved uploading a custom CSV file with over 10,000 rows of transactional data to evaluate how the system handled complex financial patterns. But as soon as we attempted to run a query on the same it crashed!
glad you are not my financial adviser :)
Weapons evolve, defenses evolve. There are ways of trivially defeating cell phone tracking, and there are ways of trivially defeating AI cameras (850 ways specifically). Some auth dipshit will probably come up with some other way of betraying the working class and the cycle will repeat itself.
Where did you get that this is "linux phone" project? Because if you spend enough time to read about it, you'll find that it's esp32 based running a RTOS and a custom app suite.

Really matters to read what you comment on...
I hit the paywall. But if this is about the same thing I’m thinking of, one reason to be careful about the work China’s CDC was doing (at times with visiting staff from the US) is they were one (among many) source of lab leaks of SARSv1:

It's kind of weird how AI isn't yet about robots or reasoning but merely the last phase in the evolution of search engines. An LLM is essentially an extremely user-friendly search engine without the commercial/product aspect. It's an ideal information engine.

It's understandable why LLMs pose a major threat to Google. Google search is essentially an information engine where the information is intermingled with junk commercial content.

These days I only use Google for cases where I want to go to a website I already know but I'm too lazy to type in the URL or use a bookmark. The utility it provides now is merely a convenience.
Both Alpha Fold and LLMs are built around transformers.
