Yes, but, as with collision avoidance systems... Years ago a VA thoracic surgeon was trying to find someone to build them a tool to listen in an OR for surgeon commands and team member acks, and if it saw a command without an ack, to nudge. Context is surgeons are both team managers and individual specialists, and when heads down as specialist, the managerial role gets load shed. So a dropped command may not be caught before bad things happen. The VA does OR pickup teams, so there isn't the polished but idiosyncratic load sharing of long-standing teams. And the acks are more formal. He was fine with a high false negative rate (catching anything is good), and a moderate false positive (nudges are low cost). That seems now plausible. Aside from tech maturity, the biggest challenge then envisioned was willingness to be recorded. Though perhaps the real fix is staffing the team management role, but that was above his pay grade.
I wouldn't buy from there again! I'm not sure what they did wrong (maybe they cheated by adding something to normal salt that later rotted?), but that's definitely not how it turns out at home. In most dishes you can't tell the difference between sea salt and table salt (assuming you've formed the same texture in both), and I use the ocean just because it's convenient.
The simple explanation is that glue logic and wide busses have mostly disappeared from contemporary electronics. Now you have a smattering of peripherals with point to point links leaving board space for fills that would have been pointless attempting with pervasive Manhattan routing on the outer layers.

Solid fills also had a propensity to warp boards, requiring hatched patterns to relieve the imbalance. That constrained their use to boards with sufficient free space to maintain connectivity of the fill areas. PCB manufacturing has improved enough to minimize this concern.

A big factor is that Trump actually got rid of the prioritization scheme in deportation courts that processes violent criminals (and similar) more quickly than people caught with a broken taillight.

He had the net effect of increasing the amount of time a dangerous immigrant would be inside the country while the system got clogged with all sorts of cases that the American public broadly agrees hardly matter.

It's like a cartoon version of a shitty manager.

"Self-custody [...] wallets are such a horrible idea..."

And yet, billions of people do this everyday with (non-crypto) wallets holding banknotes in their pants pockets. And for the most part, it's fine. A crypto wallet on your phone in your other pants pockets is similar. It's actually superior because at least you can make a backup to protect from loss/destruction.

Self-custody wallets are fine.
There's a whole fun additional layer of ethical replica hobbyists figuring out how to make replicas that are satisfyingly accurate to the original, but difficult for an unscrupulous third party to pass off as real.

One of my favorite examples is Gibson replica guitars with period-accurate serial numbers, but the serials are intentionally stamped during the wrong step in the painting & finishing process to signal that they weren't assembled at a Gibson factory.
Show HN: I made an AI agent that helps DevOps teams resolve incidents 60% faster
Hey HN,

We built PlatOps to help platform teams resolve production incidents faster using AI. Our AI agent either auto-resolves incidents using workflows learned from your past incidents or guides your on-call engineers through resolution steps.

A common problem we hear from SRE teams is that incident resolution is still largely manual and relies heavily on tribal knowledge. Engineers waste precious time gathering information from multiple sources during incidents, and learnings from past incidents often stay trapped in postmortem docs.

PlatOps solves this by:

1. Automatically gathering relevant information (logs, metrics, docs) when an incident occurs

2. Learning from your team's past incident resolutions to suggest or automate fixes

3. Providing AI-guided resolution steps when manual intervention is needed

Teams using PlatOps have seen:

- 60% reduction in Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR)

- Faster onboarding of new on-call engineers

- Better knowledge retention from past incidents

We're looking for feedback from the HN community, especially from folks who manage production systems. Would love to hear your thoughts on:

- Current pain points in incident management

- Features you'd like to see

- Integration suggestions

Try it out at https://docs.platops.ai
... or start with an open source DAW that already has all the rest, and add the placement flexibility you want ...

But I'm speaking out of self-interest here, and anyway for now your output is limited to binaural stereo which is not really a viable target for production workflows at this point.

I'm actually working on an open source digital card game with this in mind.

My favorite digital card games feel half way like scams in that if you really need a rare card for a deck, you can easily spend 50 or 60$ on packs and come up short. It's impossible to just pay 10$ and get the single card I need.

I don't think I'll be able to match the production values of MTG( the cards don't even have art, which is a both a stylistic choice and my own limitations), but I want something self hostable anyone can play.
Thank you! By flashing I really meant flashing + programming/debugging so I can see serial output. Can you do that OTA? Either way, I'll have to take a closer look.

The more important number is how many people attempted crossing, which jumped significantly during Biden. This probably has something to do with their phenomenally cratered economies during COVID, multiple destabilized governments in LatAm, and severe climate migration.

That's a big part of why the Biden administration (on day one) proposed a bill that created a large economic development grant for LatAm while also modernizing border security.

Database use can NOT be limited by policy. If the data is there, people with access to it WILL use it for whatever they want, even if that's simply because nobody told them what the restrictions are.

The best way to prevent misuse of data is not to have it. The second best way is to only allow access through technical means with proper access control at the query level and never access to the raw data.
I only took up to algebra and geometry in high school. My middle school kids already do trig and more advanced forms of algebra (differential equations, linear algebra, etc) that I never learned, so I make heavy use of Claude.ai to learn about and explain everything.

I try to grok what Claude explains, open Obsidian and then paraphrase it myself with the exact problem they're working on, along with 1-2 additional examples.

It helps that since graduating high school (long ago) I've developed an interest and enjoyment of math. I do some of their problems for fun.

When possible, I try to have them start by explaining what they know so far, and then we work together on filling those knowledge gaps and inaccuracies. It totally has to be a back and forth thing with me/AI or they won't grok it.
But like, the front page you and I each see on Hacker News is the same, the comments we see are the same, and everything is in the same order; if we talk to each other about trends in posts on Hacker News, we have some basis of shared reality.

Is this everyone? No. But "forcing one shared experience on everyone" is a straw man that wasn't being argued: the argument is about the other extreme, where every user has their own feed, and worlds splinter so hard that they are inherently irreconcilable with anyone else's.

Never going to argue against better pay, but-

I see it as like- if you were the owner of a company, you could decide for yourself what the $/abuse trade off is, and for each individual customer decide if it's worth it.

As a disempowered employee, you can only decide in aggregate if the total $ vs total abuse is worth it. So in order to keep getting paid at all, you Must put up with every interaction. Which leads to no alternative to the person being abused and no real consequences for the person being abusive, which is a shame. And it seems a lot easier to take abuse if you know you have the upper hand and have an out if you ever want it.
It seems unlikely the printer would choose 2024 if set incorrectly though.
I mean, this does still happen: there are many extremely major TV shows from the likes of Disney and Apple that are being released to streaming on a weekly schedule, and the world does in fact talk about them -- even on social media -- in lock step.
So, knowing nothing about Pokemon, it was lost on me if 2024 was legitimate or not (I suspected not, but it seems the article kind of assumes you know when the cards should have been made).

This article seems to give a clearer picture:

https://www.pokebeach.com/2025/01/millions-of-dollars-of-pro...

> Millions of Dollars of Prototype Pokemon Cards May Be Forgeries, Retired Creatures Employee Involved

> The authenticity of the Pokemon TCG’s famous “prototype cards” are now being called into question.

> Last year, hundreds of prototype Pokemon cards began to sell in collecting circles from the personal collection of Takumi Akabane, one of the original creators of the Pokemon TCG. He worked at Creatures until 2008. He recently attended events to sign some of the cards. Grading company CGC worked closely with Akabane to verify the cards’ authenticity.

> The prototype cards represent the earliest days of the TCG, produced in 1996 before Base Set released in Japan. They show the progression of Pokemon cards from their “proof of concept” stage where they used their Red & Green sprites to their beta designs that used their final artwork from Mitsuhiro Arita and Ken Sugimori.
Yeah I can't really imagine not using sleeves, any cards left unsleeved got worn out incredibly quickly.

This is what anti-monopoly regulation is for - we all just forgot during the recent period of lax enforcement.
Hack chat gpt
Chris isn't a bot. There's a subset of users who feel passionately about this kind of thing and he's one of them, and definitely well-intentioned.

Other people have been complaining too though, so I should look into it.

Edit: I looked into it and emailed Chris. I think the main thing is to stop posting links to past submissions that don't themselves have many comments. People click on those links with the expectation that there will be an interesting thread there, and when they don't find anything, they understandably get annoyed! Indeed the official definition of a dupe on HN is a story which has had significant attention within the last year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).
The article doesn't explain what playtest cards are nor what is being caught by their detective work.

It doesn't even mention the word counterfeit.

I can guess what's happening here, but I'd like to know more concrete info about the scale and impact of this, how much people were paying for these cards, etc.
In case anyone is interested, here is ChatGPT's rebuttal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qRIL_6X_Lctu1CWddC1yTKrq...
The idea is, suppose I did a trisect, splitting the range [start,end) into [start,A), [A,B), and [B,end). At each step, I test commits A and B in parallel. If both A and B are bad, I continue with [start,A). If A is good and B is bad, I continue with [A,B). If both A and B are good, I continue with [B,end).

This lets me rule out two thirds of the commits, in the same time that an ordinary bisect would have ruled out half. (I'm assuming that the tests don't benefit from having additional cores available.) In general, for an n-sect, you'd test n - 1 commits in parallel, and divide the number of remaining commits by n each time.
There are plenty of very rigorous definitions of what a soul is, though. Judging by your screen name I take you're already familiar with Aristotle, so what's your issue with his hierarchy of souls (vegetative, sensitive and rational)? Each one of those is as well defined as it can be within his logical system.
It's easy to get blocked on ActivityPub based networks like Mastodon or Pixelfed: if the instance admin doesn't like something you say, they can kick you out. Also if you run your own instance, it's quite possible that admins of other instances will block your instance, so their users (unknowingly) won't see your posts.

Another thing that literally happened to me was that the mastodon instance that I was on shut down and I found out after it happened and so I was not able to export any of my stuff.
My theory:

If you ever wondered why color printers with a separate black ink tank won't print a black and white document when it's low on color -- it's because they have to print the secret yellow dots for fingerprinting purposes and need the color ink to do so.
By far the biggest issue with the internet is the power it represents. And there is no avoiding that when it is by definition a way into the hearts and minds for every person connected to it on earth. It will always be ripe for advertising, for propaganda, for misinformation, because the incentives are just too damned great to not let it be. It was one thing when it was 25 years ago and internet users represented a small fraction of the worlds population compared to today. A fraction that might have gone unnoticed from a certain degree of mass advertising and propagandizing that always seeks to put itself where it can get in front of the most eyeballs, but that is no longer the case so long as so many people use the internet.

I'm not sure what the solution is beyond niche little forums (tribes) that somehow tip toe the line of having the website be supported at all and also not growing too big to be of much interest for advertising and other forms of propaganda. And even then, how do you discover these little tribes? All the discovery mechanisms for internet content today are centralized or gated away from the upstart individual. Search engines, social media, even advertising in the meatspace takes serious capital. People don't have their own sites with webrings linking to other sites anymore. They have social media profiles and even then most people just lurk after highschool and college vs use it to share actual content or ideas. Search engines favor directing you to mass media and social media results for queries rather than small sites and forums.

I feel like what is left of these niche interest and niche forums are doomed to die out in a few generations, since its so hard to actually come up into this world and find these refuges on the web unless you knew about them from years ago when the internet was smaller and signal to noise ratios were much higher. Kids today aren't even interested in using the web, let alone a desktop OS. At least there are still computer science college programs but who knows how long that will be the case everywhere in the chatGPT/cut everything era we find ourselves in.

No, you read a link that says people suing the FAA claim the FAA didn't hire qualified candidates on diversity.

Except that none of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit actually bothered to apply for jobs with the FAA (see this blog post from their own legal team crowing about winning a procedural matter over whether they had standing to sue given that they never applied for a job and thus were never actually rejected by the FAA https://mslegal.org/press-releases/mslf-prevails-over-faas-a... )...

What actually happened was that the FAA invalidated a bunch of AT-SAT[1] scores to align with its new diversity policy, and a bunch of people who barely passed the first time didn't want to re-take the test again and risk failing. So they did the American thing and sued instead.

The FAA has not rejected qualified candidates on the grounds of "diversity." And at any rate, the controller in the DC tower last night was hired during the Trump administration and the Blackhawk pilot that caused the crash wasn't the kind of candidate who would have been selected on DEI grounds...

[1] it's like the SAT, but for controller jobs instead of college admissions

I wonder how/if any of this can be applied to LLMs 'Semantic Space'. As you might know, Vector Databases are used a lot (especially with RAG - Retrieval Augmented Generation) mainly for Cosine Similarity, but there is a 'directionality' in Semantic Space, and so in some sense we can treat this space as if it's real geometry. I know a TON of research is done in this space, especially around what they call 'Mechanistic Interpretability' of LLMs.
