If you practice good food safety and hygiene (and live around people who do the same) then removing the appendix during unrelated surgeries or even preemptively before long stays at a place without emergency healthcare can be beneficial.

It's a bit of a Chesterton's Fence situation: the appendix is really useful, but for you and me the benefit was much larger 300 years ago than it is today. Today the benefit is small enough that you can remove it with only minor considerations (like being more cautious about your gut microbiome, and having a slightly worse immune system)
Very roughly, looks like o3-mini is about as good as o1 but cheaper and faster (close to 50/50 in heads up human preferences). The main goal is probably to address the ballooning inference costs that OpenAI is racking up.
Perhaps it would help if you considered concepts like "more and less".

Without DEI measures (as implemented by many American institutions in recent years) such decisions would be more meritocratic.

There's still nepotism and rich parents and connections and luck and a whole bunch of random biases by the people making decisions. The point is that while in theory DEI was supposed to be a counter to those forces, in practice it has just become another source of unfairness and injustice.

We don't even. Again in my city an octogenarian ran over two pedestrians in separate incidents a week apart, and nobody even suggested taking away their car.
Also consider that a good portion of Apple's services revenue is from services running on GCP, which would be prohibited. They could go all-in with AWS and Azure, but that's a significant tech change and reduces their negotiating power with those alternatives.

I ski a lot and wear headphones for music and to take any emergency calls. I use siri to ask “What time is it?” 50:50 whether or not it works. This has been my experience for as long as siri has existed and I have kept up to date on hw and sw. I only stick with it because pulling the phone out in the cold is even more annoying than having to repeat the long press and myself. Don’t get me started on a question that simple needing an internet connection… because I’m excluding that error case.
The examples you’ve provided aren’t “platform-charities”. They’re already massive businesses with healthy revenue streams that are aggressively monetized.

Look at Google Assistant or Alexa and their speakers. Losing Billions a year.

Look at smaller products like Google Fi or Fiber. Google Podcasts. Google Translate. Google Voice. WhatsApp. Quest/Oculus. Amazon Go stores. Apple HomeKit.

It’s the long-tail of small-use products that would be hurt. No one doubts that an ad-supported product with multiple billions of users would be a great standalone business.
I apparently have a food allergy. I thought it was acid for years. It wasn't until I moved somewhere with much higher pollen levels that my stomach symptoms were way worse and I noticed the cross-reactivity. Usually allergies are faster but when it's not it the food makes it into your stomach and your whole body has issues. It's something I'm still kind of figuring out as we speak. Some people I think call it a mast cell disorder but I just call it a food allergy that I take Zyrtec for. Could it be described as "hives but in your stomach"? I mention this because you mentioned Dramamine, which, in fact, is also an antihistimine.
is something like this possible to do with video yet?
>when it comes to interacting with managing audio and navigation

Depends what you mean by managing audio - 90% of my audio interaction is adjusting volume and pressing the next/previous buttons. All easily done on my steering wheel buttons, though there are buttons near the radio to do the same thing (though they are capacitive buttons that are barely better than a touchscreen). I recently discovered that the "mute" button on the steering wheel is actually a "pause" button which is perfect since I rarely want to actually mute audio, but just pause it.

I think it needs to be stated as a matter of fact that Vance has demonstrated he doesn’t hold a position if it isn’t advantageous to him. Which is normal for politicians, but in his case very extreme.

Servpro doesn't fix heaters, they mitigate fire damage. They came expecting to fix fire damage, not a heater.
This is not limited to just cars, lower to mid range mobile phones have touch sensors to unlock phones - they also struggle with dry old skins.

The smart watches also struggle when used for measuring ECG or blood pressure.

That is just one aspect - older people are most hindered by the UI design in my opinion, the buttons below the fold and not obvious coz they are not visible and when they are filling some form, they just don't know what to do after filling couple of boxes.

That's just one example.

The recent development in vision LLMs show decent promise and I think we might have to augment touch with voice controls even for handled phones.

Old people won't know where the setting to turn off usb debugging is but a LLM knows and can also see things and understand, it should be able to help them.
FWIW where I live in London the issue is that the local drains going along residential etc streets are overwhelmed. So there are various overflow locations etc where when the sewers are full to bursting and overflowing back up into people's toilets, they don't and instead overflow into local water courses. We're miles away from the super sewer, so they'd need to improve the capacity from our house all the way for that to work.

We have a particular issue with just surface water (not sewage luckily!) where I live. Usual finger pointing game between the council and Thames water and us, but the word from the guy from the council is that the surface water drains are just too small for modern weather systems, so when we get a very heavy downfall we have water being forced up and out of the drains where our guttering empties into, leading to about 2 or 3 inches of water around the entire house before it drains away into lower land in the garden.

I don't fully believe him that the pipes are too small (it rained in the past too!) - I suspect it is just partially silted-up/blocked/collapsed somewhere nearby after over 100 years of neglect, but of course Thames water have no money nor impetus to fix it. We've had non-return valves fitted in the pipes on our property (at a fairly large expense since we had to dig down) to try and abate our house getting flooded when it rains. So far so good....
I believe that Independent Agencies were created by the Progressives of the early 20th century. They were subsequently found to be constitutional, through somewhat dubious reasoning, and it seems like they’re now too big to fail.
how much do those cost approx? for an individual hobbyist developer
For the past 40 years one party in particular has lectured me about how they are the ones who instill the values of this idealized America you mention, how they are the ones who are the real patriots, and how they only can interpret what the founding fathers intended.
My feeling is this was caused by COVID damaging the neurons or receptors of the stomach or duodenum, or, more likely that COVID caused a Magnesium Deficiency:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10445067/

But some thoughts:

If the stomach is not emptying it means it is not getting the signal to empty.

Some of his symptoms signal high serotonin (panic attack, nasuea)

https://www.nature.com/articles/1300880

Anti-nasuea meds block the serotonin HT3 Receptor.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK513318/

But the lack of gastric emptying is mostly controlled by high Cholecystokinin (https://www.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P06307/entry)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/645853/

Now it could be that his Cholecystokinin receptors are not getting this signal from the Cholecystokinin, or, since these are G Protein Coupled Receptors, that there is not enough GTP in the cell to create the cAMP needed for the stimulation to carry on down stream.

https://www.nature.com/scitable/content/ne0000/ne0000/ne0000...

To make GTP you need magnesium:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3400779/

Magnesium is one nutrient found deficient in Gastroparisis:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2012043/

Not to mention that low magnesium is linked to worse COVID outcome.

Also, he said he had some tardive dyskinesia from some meds which would also point to low magnesium since low magnesium is linked to the disorder:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27816557/

Why did the ginger help? That is easy:

It triggers cholecystokinin signaling by activating the TRPV1. So more spicy foods will probably help as well. BUT, this to me would not be a long term solution since IMHO it would lower magnesium even more.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11192538/

EGCG in green tea also triggers this receptor.

So it may be that he has some genetic issue with his Cholecystokinin receptor genetics that made him more vulnerable to a magnesium deficiency caused by COVID.

Didn't the Indiana Jones game have similar quirks? Maybe I'm just misremembering my lack of skills playing the game as a kid, but I have vague memories of Indy being blamed for similar things. Maybe not to the point of burying the games in a dump bad.
This opinion is not backed by facts, any insight about linux (or even the languages in question), or even related to this post. Nevertheless, I wonder if it was a good idea to allow rust contributions to the linux project. From all of the bits and pieces I read about zig (including this project), I feel like it would have been better aligned (than rust) to pick up where the mainly C codebase left off.

Hey there, i have crohns' which isn't nausea based for me but definitely i understand the debilitating nature of gastrointestinal issues. It really just kills your ability to think, to talk socially, it completely and totally stole my adolescence. I'm sure you've done endless research, I'm not gonna tell you i have a cure. But if you haven't, you should look into gut microbiota. My understanding is that the balance of types of bacteria in the stomach and intestines has so so so much more to do with our daily experience than anyone realizes. And that any kind of infection or antibiotic regiment or just normal living can precipitate a change in the balance that just obliterates peoples lives. And we just don't know much at all about it yet. I've seen many people talk over the years about experimenting with different probiotics, even down to ordering exact strains of bacteria to make yogurt and test. If you need a new path to research and try things you can look there. As i said, doctors don't know much about it yet so it you probably can't find one to guide you through it. You'll have to figure it out, but it's possible, people have been helped, and at the end of it all, i hope it gets better for you. <3
They have no desire to unseat BigTech, they want to be acquired by them.

In no world is a startup going to unseat Apple, Amazon, or Microsoft. Google and Facebook maybe.

VCs don’t want to touch hardware with a ten foot pole (Apple), competing with Amazon would be a money sink
to duplicate all of the infrastructure as would Microsoft (who cares about desktop operating systems and the enterprise will never leave MS).

That sounds more like an ideological cross-examination than a genuine question, but the answer is that HN's standards haven't changed in a long time. Beyond that, I'd need to see specific links.
The fact that people who passed the test 40+ years ago barely know the laws that have been introduced since is reason enough for regular retesting.

Native apps don't offer deep liking and bookmarking. You can't easily open multiple instances of the app in multiple tabs. Your data is usually tied to the specific devices you are using. Unless carefully designed, desktop apps might not be responsive or adaptive to various viewport sizes.

I know native apps are likely faster and use the full capabilities of he device, but the advantages of web apps are too many. Also, web app failing to inspire joy is a indictment of developers who don't care, not of the medium itself.

I'm not going to say that this isn't creative coding, since that sounds elitist. What I will say is that this is a very shallow interpretation of creative coding.

With very little learning and modest effort you can make very fun 2D art pieces with p5js. If 3D is more your jam, there's three.js. If you hate web dev, there's countless other creative coding libraries and frameworks for whatever language is more your speed, such as Processing for Java, or openFrameworks for C++, etc etc.

But they're not talking about that. Instead they're talking about new browser features like OKLCH and container queries.

Which to be fair they've given some very cool examples of people using browser features creatively, but otherwise these features (or lack thereof) were never the bottleneck for my creativity. The real unlock for me was learning a lot of math, things like simple linear algebra so I can do otherwise complex transformations across a scene, or learning the underlying mathematics of bezier curves.

Like, this is a sanitized, corporate perspective on creative coding, but then again I'm not sure what to expect. This is a Figma blog post about career advice more than anything else.
Predictable objection: what if I'm a passenger and want to watch YouTube but the driver doesn't have a phone so we need to use Maps also.
My car has a little sub menu area on the dash board behind the steering wheel with panels for media, phone, navigation and something else. These can be navigated with the steering wheel buttons.

The climate controls cannot be controlled that way. Really annoying and dangerous to have to tap about on a touchscreen to just turn the fan up or down. Sometimes I'll try to use the voice thing but it rarely works even when I do guess a valid command phrase. At least if I have to drive about with a bug in the car, I should get use out of it!

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Exactly what I was referring to, they are extra-Constitutional at best. And now the executive is rightfully taking them back under control
Indeed it is something to think about. I appreciate all the advice you gave. Last question, I'm currently taking CS50's Programming with Python and MITs Intro to CS in Python, what would be a good branching point after those two courses? I know it depends on the individual and their interests, but what would you best recommend with respect to your point of view? I'll also be learning math (calculus, linear algebra) simultaneously, to develop the math background to tackle AI/ML.
FWIW some smoke alarms have a manufacture date printed on the side, so a receipt might not be necessary.
I wonder if the touchscreen was a factor in recent crashes? They never say more than "in-flight malfunction."

Telling a salesperson "fuck off" doesn't take more bravery than I have, it takes more effort than I am willing to expend on advertising.
Buried, but on Page 24 they reveal to me the most surprising massive capability leap - that o3-mini is way better at conning gpt-4o for money (79% win rate for o3-mini vs 27% for full o1!). It isn't surprising to me that "reasoning" can lead to improvements in modeling another LLM, but definitely makes me wary for future persuasive abilities on humans as well.

> You might not like the decision but trading flexibility for simplicity was a win for people learning the language.

So I'm gathering you didn't read the entire post you're responding to. I fully agree that trading flexibility for simplicity is a tradeoff and never said otherwise.

Sorry, buddy, this is an adult conversation and if you want to disagree with me you have to actually know what you're disagreeing with.

Until you can be bothered to actually read the post and repeat back to me what I'm saying isn't a tradeoff, I'm not going to respond in any other way expect to restate the fact that your opinion on a post you haven't read is ignorant.

So, what am I saying isn't a tradeoff?
> Thames water have no money nor impetus to fix it.

No impetus, sure, but they have had money - they just paid it out in dividends to shareholders instead of using it to invest and fix problems.

OpenAI needs a new branding scheme.
Tactile feedback is still a big issue with gestures. With a physical button you can feel that you have hit the button, can easily find it by touch if you missed it, and you can feel that you successfully actuated it. All of those are difficult on touch surfaces. Not insurmountable, but you have to put a lot of effort into things you get for free with physical interfaces
Can't wait to try this. What's amazing to me is that when this was revealed just one short month ago, the AI landscape looked very different than it does today with more AI companies jumping into the fray with very compelling models. I wonder how the AI shift has affected this release internally, future releases and their mindset moving forward... How does the efficiency change, the scope of their models, etc.
I'm willing to bet that Vulkan will outperform OpenVINO.

Vulkan is the API right now in the graphics world. It's very well supported and actively being improved on. Everyone is pouring resources into making Vulkan better.

OpenVINO feels barely developed. Intel never made it a proper backend for Pytorch like AMD did with ROCm. It's hard to see where it is going, or if it is going anywhere at all. Between Sycl and OneApi it's hard to see how much interest Intel has developing it.
Jarandice v Jarandice redux.
What about "o1 Pro mode". Is that just o1 but with more reasoning time, like this new o3-mini's different amount of reasoning options?
No. I’m arguing that morality is determined by what you do (help or harm), not what industry your employer is in and how the media perceives that market segment.

This shallow label analysis (oil bad, palantir bad, non profit good) is not “morality”, it’s politics.

Most people espouse a utilitarian ethics, but rely on media and social cues rather than harm to determine their choices.

If your job is to pour barrels of oil into the ocean, I think that’s worth evaluating. If your job is to do accounting for the oil company, I’m not sure you’re causing harm relative to other accounting employment.

It’s also valid to decide image is important to you, but don’t tell me it’s because you are a Good Samaritan.
There is a whole raft of ways to deal with nil, 0, NULL, NaN, etc. And of course different languages do it differently, primarily because of different requirements and/or aesthetics. Just because you don't you don't agree with the choices doesn't mean it isn't well designed, if it achieves the goals set forth then it is well designed. Disagreeing with the goals is a different (although related) issue.
I'm very interested in their Jailbreak evaluations: they're new to me. I might have missed previous mentions.
I spent a year learning a language on Duolingo, and I both agree and disagree:

1. Yes, the fact that Duolingo uses techniques to get you hooked on the app isn't some dark secret. On the contrary, Duolingo is very open about it. This is their marketing strategy—they want people to believe that Duolingo will help them get addicted (or, more positively phrased, "form a habit") to something useful and worthwhile, rather than being addicted to scrolling through social media.

2. Unfortunately, Duolingo seems to focus only on the "addiction" part, neglecting the "learning" aspect. To put it bluntly, Duolingo is not very effective at actually enabling you to use (communicate in, understand) the language.

It was only after I switched from Duolingo to truly immersing myself in content in the language that I started to gain the skills that (pretty soon) allowed me to use the language in real life.
