Minerals (as the term is used in nutrition, not in mining) are chemical elements, not "compounds". They are part of the constituents that can be synthesised into compounds. Usually our bodies obtain them in some form of organic or inorganic salts, which are compounds, so we obtain them as parts of compounds. To synthesise compounds that contain iodine, you need iodine in some form. As we are not talking about nuclear reactions through which elements are synthesised through other elements, there is no way humans, animals or plants synthesise any minerals like iodine, we all obtain them from some source. The original sentence is weird, because it talks as if iodine can be synthesised somehow chemically but just our bodies are unable to.
Much more fair to gamers and graphics artists than allowing scalpers or AI startups to buy them all, that's for sure.

For audio based detection, I would start with collecting a large corpus of normal shows vs ad segment audio dataset. I assume the amplitude (volume changes) and frequency distribution would be unique enough to distinguish between them.

Train a model using their Mel Spectrogram and deploy on-device.

Microphone -> ADC -> Preprocessing -> Spectrogram Generation -> Inference -> Mute/Unmute

Would be an interesting project.
This has to be “AI in the workplace” going awry. There’s no way an actual human thought they were adding value to a business or protecting business interests by going after this person. It’d be insane.

I was thinking of record stores as well. I spent so much of my life in those. Now on the rare occasion when I go into one, I have the uncanny sense of being back in the distant past, or back in a dream I had mostly woken up from.

>over statement of reality.

You don't have to enjoy the game, that's totally fine. But my comment is pretty reality-based.

The game completely bombed on launch and was dragged through the mud (mostly deservedly) in every review. Now has very positive reviews on Steam, people still talk about it, and people still buy it a decade later. It's sold enough copies to support the staff at Hello Games for that time.

If that isn't turning a shitty launch into a success, I have no idea what is.
"Opengrep"? But `grep` is already free...
Yes, well the narrative that rocked the stock market is different. Its looking at what DeepSeek did and assuming they may have competitive advantage in this space and could outperform OpenAI at their own game.

If the narrative is actually that DeepSeek can only reach whatever heights OpenAI has already gotten to with some new tricks, then markets will probably refocus on OpenAI's innovations and price things accordingly, even if the initial cost is huge. It also means OpenAI probably needs a better moat to protect its interests.

I'm not sure where the reality is exactly, but market reactions so far have basically followed that initial narrative and now the rebuttal.
Biggest difference is climate. Truckee's average highs never dip below 40F. Jackson has 2 months average highs below freezing -- that means a LOT more residual ice and snow.
Show HN: I made a price aggregator to find the best PC parts deals across eBay
Started PC flipping as a hobby (buying used parts, building PCs, and selling them for a small profit). Found that focusing on used parts on eBay gives the best margins - like finding a GPU 20% below market, pairing it with other deals, and selling the complete build locally.

I discovered that eBay marketplaces (.com, .de, .co.uk etc.) often have different prices for the same items! Or just completely different items.

So I built an eBay price scanner for PC components. It scans listings across different Ebay markets, calculates median prices, and flags anything selling below market (including shipping costs to your location). It basically finds the best deal that is specific to your location.

It currently tracks GPUs, CPUs, RAM and motherboards across 6 eBay markets, updating every 8 hours.

Been using it myself for and it actually works!

Let me know, what you think. Would love to hear your feedback on making it more useful.
Good to know some things never change. I used to work on z/OS and it was 50/50 if IBM would release a new major Java version the same year as Oracle.
I think you made a typo. Your source says it's 70-80%.

Where are the "dubious" claims? No one's saying he's an alien or playing 4-D chess.

He's one of the most public figures in the world right now, with hours of video "evidence" widely and easily available. Asking someone to prove he did an obvious thing in public is demanding unpaid labor.

This is not the same as expecting someone to back up a claim of a homeopathic treatment for brain cancer.
Why would that be a reason to ban iodized salt?
Point is that not all lines are equal. The 30% that the tool didn't make are the hard stuff. Not just in line count. Once an approach or an architecture or a design are clear then implementing is merely manual labor. Progress is not linear.

You shouldn't judge your sw eng employees by lines of code either. Those that think the hard stuff often don't have that many lines of code checked in. But it's those people that are the key to your success.
I disagree.

I am not bitter, but Sean Murray after launch was sitting in interviews, claiming that the game had multiplayer (and a lot of other stuff), knowing fully well that those were lies.

On top of many, many lies that happened before launch. These are not "rookie mistakes". This is a person that is clearly fine with lying to players in order to hype up the game. He should never be trusted again.

Yes, it's exemplary that they fixed the game, and added all those features, but Sean Murray remains an untrustworthy individual. I would never hire, do business with, or believe him. I will stay away from anything this guy does in the future.
This was both a new topic to me and a remarkably succinct (and well-cited) comment. Did you happen to do this research independently or do you reference a more comprehensive source?
And how is that different than what is happening now?

At this point, the only thing that keeps me using ChatGPT is o1 w/ RAG. The usage limits on o1 are prohibitively tight for regular use, so I have to budget usage to tasks that would benefit there. I also have significant misgivings about their policies around output, which also limit what I can use it for.

For local tasks, the deepseek-r1:14b and deepseek-r1:32b distillations immediately replace most of that usage (prior local models were okay, but not consistently good enough). Once there's a "just works" setup for RAG on par with installing ollama (which I doubt is far of), I don't see much reason to continue paying for my subscription.

Sadly, like many others in this thread, I expect under the current administration to see self-hamstringing protectionism further degrade the US's likelihood of remaining a global powerhouse in this space. Betting the farm on the biggest first-mover who can't even keep up with competition, has weak to non-existent network effects (I can choose a different model or service with a dropdown, they're more or less fungible), has no technological moat and spent over a year pushing apocalyptic scenarios to drum up support for a regulatory moat...

...well it just doesn't seem like a great idea to me.
The opposite, is claiming that OpenAI could have now built better performing, cheaper to run model (when compared to what they published) training it at 1% cost on output of their previous models. ... But they chose not to do it.
Why stop there.... Deep seek is actually an alien intelligence sent via sophons to destroy all of particle physics!
It's crazy- I feel like outside of videogames, and sometimes programming languages, almost every single "update" makes things worse.

They shuffle the UI around, or put in more ads, or recently- add some new AI feature. Genuinely can't remember the last OS or App update I've been happy about.

Makes me sad to think of all the developers working long hours just to make their users upset.

"Not doing consumer harm" is carrying a lot of weight there.

Either way what you describe is perfectly achievable for the workers, but at some point management needs to own up to their failures and getting rewarded because the board is also made up of executives at other big tech companies is a perverse incentive to never actually improve.
Demand for developer-focused material*
I think we agree - my response was narrowed to respond to "NVDA is going to soar". The whole segment looks overvalued and the implication (at least to me) seems to be that AI will capture 10-20% of GDP in profits (not even revenue) starting soon for 10-ish years.

I don't have the numbers, but I wonder how "internet company" (very loosely) profits compare to GDP - I could imagine the AI ecosystem reaching similar profits eventually.

Btw, imo their P/E is mostly this good because they're currently selling hardware at margins better than many software companies, I doub that this will/can last. For example, when FB/MS each are spending $50B+/a on GPUs, can they justify say $100M/a on a crack software dev team to make their stack work on other GPUs (ie replace the oft-argued CUDA moat within a year or two)?
Sure, but I'm not interested in innocence. They can be as innocent or guilty as they want. But it means they didn't, via engineering wherewithal, reproduce the OpenAI capabilities from scratch. And originally that was supposed to be one of the stunning and impressive (if true) implications of the whole Deepseek news cycle.
Thanks for sharing, that's a cool idea. Will have to wrap my head around it a bit more but got me thinking about how to strip vdom.
I feel same way. Played on Game Pass, not sure I would have valued it if I paid for it. It is very grating that you see same set piece, be it pirates or ruins again and again. I have seen this one before. Oh and to get best output I should just save scum...

And then randomness leads to issues like finding very nice looking end game planet. To make your own base. And even there the option to place it so that certain things refresh.... So game world is not even consistent...
I still dont see an advantage of using GET with an body.
I've implemented those components from scratch in C++ to provide single-sign-on authentication across a variety of distributed sensitive applications, without using any libraries, so I'd say I'm fairly familiar with how they actually work.

JWT is by far the most important building block here, and while it's not part of OAuth, realistically it's how anyone sane would use OAuth.
need to cook food for dog due to medical reasons, and one of ingredients is iodized salt. so i had a quick look at this topic. so, as far as i remember:

- different brands have different amount of iodine

- iodine dissipates from opened salt container, with speed of dissipation been dependant on temperature and humidity

- if you cook with iodized salt, most of it iodine disappears (depends on brand. some retain more )
And just a note, Intel is losing money and still as of the third quarter of last year paying a dividend while complaining about cash flow
Perhaps, after decades of application bugs caused by developers not properly accounting for taskbar position and size, random ordinary users being distressed by accident'ly moving or resizing the taskbar and unable to get it back (leaving aside savvy users), Microsoft have given up? I seem to recall various articles on this over the years, including on Raymond Chen's "The Old New Thing".

Mild example:

Yup, military fighters.
If you're reversing this: I was curious if Google determines if your device is "affected" using the phone's serial, or the battery's serial. I've seen reports that people who replace the battery manually outside of the program still experience diminished performance. But of course that could just be because they replaced their defective battery with another defective battery.
they have used Samsung before...maybe with middling results but if push came to shove, Samsung's fabs have been the backup I think.
I wonder if the waymo solution is very vehicle specific or if it could be easily applied to say, a 10~12 person van that could accommodate a wheelchair? It would be interesting to design a transit system around 4~5 times as many vehicles with higher interval or more responsive pathing with something like pick up kiosks.
Realism is easily mistaken for bitterness and cynicism.

The TL;DR of the article is about not doing more than you are paid to do. Not going above and beyond, and that's a reasonable approach to take in today's environment.

Companies have been exploiting these type of people for decades, and its gotten worse in recent years so much so that people have died working for some black companies.

At the end of the day, there is no amount of pay you can receive that is worth your sanity or your life.

just because you found those mechanics to be not to your liking doesn't make them invalid. A whole lot of shallow gameplay can easily add up to a game that is fun, because it is full of small activities that are each fun for a little while. If that wasn't true, Mario Party would be no fun

"shallow" is also /definitely/ your opinion here. it's okay to not like things, but that doesn't make them objectively bad. it's just not to your taste.

I've played NMS on and off since launch and it's a totally different game now in MY humble opinion
It could be that finding oneself at fault for life choices but being without enough motivating energy to make better choices is an even worse personal outcome than blaming others, and deciding to externalize blame is a defense mechanism against crippling stress/shame that such people have developed consciously or not. It may be far from helpful but it prevents people from feeling trapped if they give themselves something to crusade against.

I think people that are quick to blame external factors would be more visible towards others than people who do choose to blame themselves, but even in the case where the latter feel trapped with learned helplessness and unable to act. There isn't much to say to the latter except "it's hard, but you should do the work." Which I would believe they've heard thousands of times already, so it only makes them feel worse. Such dialogue by its nature doesn't make for "engaging content," so to speak. Whereas a lot of (bullshit or not) arguments arise with the former that serve as a more effective distraction.

Yeah, I think NVDA could fall another 20% and its stock price would still imply "massively profitable company primed for continued explosive growth." Its previous valuation was a premium even above that story.

I hate ADS tech in cities so much. The pedestrian/pet detection is god awful. Doesn’t matter if you cross at designated crosswalks or just crossing the street. Many close calls.

Cruise _was_ the king in this aspect and avoided them completely but Waymo is getting up there.

Side note: GOOG and other tech conglomerates are clearly monopolizing the tech industry - from ADS to AI/AGI/LLM. It’s no wonder these companies have kissed the ring of current administration to get the green light on acquisitions needed to setup monopolies and effectively become a monopsony (particularly in labor to keep wages down).
Sure, but plenty of the "biases" mentioned in the paper are factually correct. Ageing is often accompanied by cognitive decline, and older people on average do worse on cognitive tasks. Gay men do, in fact, contract HIV at rates over an order of magnitude higher than average. These are not biases, these are facts.

My career path was pretty much set in stone when I was introduced to an Amiga2000 with a Video Toaster. I watched so many different pieces of equipment get replaced by that one card inside this computer. The replaced equipment dollar value dwarfed the price of the Amiga + Toaster setup. Eventually, we upgraded the CPU from the stock 68010 to a 68040 with another expansion card which was an incredible difference.

This happened the summer between my junior and senior year in high school, and I spent every day that summer learning everything about what I could do with that Toaster. By the time I graduated, I was a pretty decent technical director being able to handle the lower 3rds, camera switching, and running tape playback (and rarely used those skills later).

The Amiga will always hold a special place for me. Any post like this will also keep me from doing work for longer time than it takes to read as I always go down a bit of nostalgia rabbit hole after reading.
I was wondering if this might be the case, similar to how Bing’s initial training included Google’s search results [1]. I’d be curious to see more details of OpenAI’s evidence.

It is, of course, quite ironic for OpenAI to indiscriminately scrape the entire web and then complain about being scraped themselves.

The most interesting challenge was filtering legitimate PC part listings. eBay search isn't perfect - searching for "RTX 4090" returns lots of irrelevant items like brackets, broken cards, or water cooling kits.

I solved this using custom ML classifiers for each component type (GPU/CPU/RAM/Motherboard). Each classifier is trained on labeled eBay listings to identify legitimate parts.

This automated filtering is crucial since the scanner processes thousands of listings daily across different eBay markets and languages.

One other issue, is bypassing the eBay API limitations, since I query for thousands of items I need to somehow optimize it. So far, I'm caching useful information like Shipping, but eventually if I want to add more items and/or marketplaces, I will need to either implement a key rotation or ask ebay to extend their API limits.

Currently, I scan for around 10k eBay listings along with their shipping info.
Isn't it more impressive given that training on model output usually leads to worse model?

If they actually figured out how to use output of existing models to build model that outperforms them then it's something that brings us closer to singularity than every other development so far.
Seeing as much of a virtual planet as possible costs $60 and it uses the same energy that isn't being used because the other thing costs thousands of dollars.

No, they aren't (other than whisper).

Their "papers" are closer to marketing materials. Very intentionally leaving out tons of technical information.

On launch it would crash every ten minutes. Last time I played you could go weeks without a glitch.

I mean, if openAI claims they can train on the world’s novels and blogs with “no harm done” (i.e: no copyright infringement and no royalties due), then it directly follows that we can train both our robots and our selves on the output of openAI’s models in kind.

Right?

People keep saying that. I ended up biting the bullet after the latest "game changing" update.

It's barely a game at all. It's still a walking simulator. The environment is great, and there is some variety. But there is no objective or opposition, not even a story (a little robot tells you to do stuff). It's a sandbox, an engine one could build a game in (and they might someday?)

They added some construction stuff, so the game will say "go and build a house" and you do that. Or "go build a blueprint machine" and now you have more blueprints. But what is any of it for? You can just sit in your cockpit.

It all seems so pointless. Like they have seen other survival games and copied some mechanics over without understanding what makes a survival game. It is a really puzzling experience, I can't understand what they were thinking.
It sounds like panix already did.
Sure, call it that then. Cut the open source bollocks.
