Is there an online tracker of the various AGI / Super intelligence predictions?
I can't keep track of the fun bets every AI leader makes. If we have a tracker for Elon's jet, somebody down the depth of the Internet must have done something similar for the top 10-20 AI figures. Perplexity can give me a solid point in time, but I'd love to see how/if bets are shifting.
A good rule of thumb for me is to never listen people who profit from war when they tell you we need to prepare for war.
All kinds of borders changed after WW2, such as Yugoslavia, Soviet Union breaking up, Palestine, Sudan, Germany, Eritrea, Hawaii became a state, Tuva became part of Soviet Union. Hindu Raj broke up into multiple countries.

Rails Async Queries by Example
Drive manufacturers often publish the AFR. From there you can do the math to figure out what sort of redundancy you need. Rule of thumb is that the AFR should be in the 1-2% range. I haven't looked at BB's data, but I'm sure it supports this.

Note, disk failure rates and raid or similar solutions should be used when establishing an availability target, not for protecting against data loss. If data loss is a concern, the approach should be to use back ups.
I don't know what tech stack you used, but very well done! :) especially considering the time I suppose you had to built such app.

I would make the bars that represent the months clearer by labeling the months (I just tried the demo).

I'm not sure what do you need in order to just ask for people its bank statements (even if it's not stored). I would check into that.
I think people need more actionable advice (less generic, less "you need to improve on this) than just seeing the same tips over and over again, but this might be hard to implement depending on what we are talking about.

There are some good cheap recipes on the internet, but they might be hard to find sometimes, for instance (despite the promise of making good and affordable recipes is very easy to find, that's other thing).
In some countries, it might be hard to know who is really offering some of the cheapest services like insurance, for instance, because this is also kinda hard to simulate for some situations.
In other situations, I also don't see how a notification that "you should spend less on parties" really goes beneath the surface of any problem whatsoever. Imagine you are dealing with an alcoholic. That not only doesn't work, but its also probably just annoying.

Tracking tools are cool because people need to track expenses anyway, and it's much easier to do it digitally, than to do it with a pen and paper (even if there are a ton of apps out there, with the right marketing and a little bit of luck, you can have some market share and that's great).
AI generated advices... Each case is a case. Each person is a person. It's a ton of work, and it needs to be done carefully. If you are aware of all of this, and want to test in some situations, I will say go for it. If you want something very superficial and generic like some popular magazines and websites do nowadays, I would not invest much time on it.
The other day I was riffing on ideas on what if Browsers had a third Storage called `roamingStorage`. Keep it the simple, stupid key/value store interface of localStorage and sessionStorage, but allow it to roam between your devices (like classic Windows %RoamingAppData% on a network/domain configured for it). It doesn't even "need" a full sync engine like CRDTs at the browser level, if it did something as simple and dumb as basic MVCC "last write wins, but you can pull previous versions" you can easily build CRDT library support on top of it.

The hardest trick to that would be securing it, in particular how you define an application boundary so that the same application has the same roamingStorage but bad actor applications can't spoof your app and exfiltrate data from it. My riffing hasn't found an easy/simple/dumb solution for that (if you want offline apps you maybe can't just rely on website URL as localStorage mostly does today, and that's maybe before you get into confusion about multiple users in the same browser instance using the app), but I assume it's a solvable problem if there was interest in it at the browser level.

I have heard about those devices yes. For people who can't afford help at home they're obviously way better than DIY. If you can, they're inferior. A washer/dryer won't fold your laundry and put it away, nor separate it and scrub out stains. A vacuum cleaner, even a robot vac, won't dust the shelves or clean the baseboards or remove cobwebs from the corners of the ceiling. You have to empty the dust receptacle without getting it all over your clothes. A dishwasher still has to be loaded and unloaded, stuck on foods have to be scrubbed off first. There's no robot for cleaning toilets or bathtubs or showers or refrigerators, or for changing bed linens. And so on.

The thing that gets me is application launchers, I'm fine with any clever and obscure name you pick for something that's intended to be behind the scenes as presumably there's going to be a certain amount of promotion or awareness inside whatever domain is involved. However if a launcher (or a repository/app store as an earlier step) just gives the clever name with no context to what it does rather than "CleverName - media tag information editor".

It can go too far the other direction too, for example the generic names like Files, Phone, etc either preloaded on the device by the manufacturer (eg Samsung) or by Google, or some third party.

Show HN: Game Bub – open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld
Hey HN,

Over the past ~1.5 years, I built an open-source FPGA retro emulation handheld that can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges. To my knowledge, there isn't an existing open-source FPGA emulator that can play physical cartridges like this.

One of my main goals was to do all of the pieces myself, and be able to understand every component of it, so I designed my own PCB, wrote the firmware, wrote a Game Boy and Game Boy Advance emulator for the FPGA (using the Chisel HDL), and designed a 3D-printed case.

I detailed the design and development process in the linked post. It's quite long, but there are a lot of pictures and videos.

Code and design files available on GitHub: https://github.com/elipsitz/gamebub, and an overview of the architecture: https://github.com/elipsitz/gamebub/blob/handheld/docs/archi...

Exactly, we paid for our house, the sidewalk in front of it, and the street beyond that sidewalk! And our enjoyment will be ruined by... seeing people on our street who don't live here!

That's the part I don't understand at all, and I've had people try to explain it to me in person. The anger, anxiety, and affrontedness of seeing somebody parked at the curb in front of one's house... the neighborhood ruined... I can see it in their eyes and hear it in their voice, but can you explain it? For context, people frequently park on our street because of the proximity of a couple of commercial streets a few minutes' walk away, and we get completely parked up for events at a church down the block. The worst thing that has ever happened as a result is that our dogs have woken us up barking at someone retrieving their car. I blame that on our dogs, but I guess I could blame the people instead?
Loss of what of could have been can be just as painful as loss of what was. I hear you. Your feelings are valid. Wishing you best and sending love.
Humans will always have a hand in the design because they need to explain the real-world constraints to the AI. Sure, the code it produces may be complex, but if the AI is really as smart as you're claiming it will eventually be, then it will also have the ability to explain how the code works in plain English (or your human language of choice). Even today, LLMs are remarkably good at summarizing what code does.

Philosophical question: how is LLM-produced code that nobody has ever understood any different from human-written legacy code that nobody alive today understands?

Right, that was my point. There were rewards, but they were not a financial rewards. My gut would be that the things that have resulted from NASA and similar government spending far outpace even the wealthiest man in the world's personal value. But it is easier to count dollar values attached to individuals.

And now we run the risk of regulatory capture by someone just clawing all of the things they want into a pile they personally control in what looks an awful lot like the corruption that they are yelling about.
You don't get it. Prices are going up because developers are building apartments that no one lives in. They just write it off. Or something. Supply and demand be damned.

I worked at a MySQL shop in the 5.x days. We'd regularly run overnight "alter table" commands that would take forever... some tables had 100's of millions of rows. We'd have to pause any of the writers (batch jobs, etc.) We had a sharded system, across about a half dozen DB servers, and large migrations would need to be done in phases. Painful.

The traumas absolutely come up. That's kind of the point. They take you where you need to go even if you don't want to go there. I had a lot of rage and anger and deep embarrassments and now it feels like that's been scraped out of me, like a boil that needed to be lanced.

It's not for everyone to enjoy but I think it's for everyone, once or twice.

IntelliJ is very programmable, but it can be a bit intimidating because out of the box it assumes that you want to program it by creating plugins. That's very different to the elisp REPL driven approach. LivePlugin bridges the gap by letting you control the IDE from a repl-like console, building up scriptlets that use the same plugin APIs. There are examples for how to do things like add menu items, explore the semantic PSI trees, trigger refactorings or do whatever else you want to do.

> It's far too late to sequester all the information related to AI like what was done with uranium enrichment.

I think this presumes that Sam Altman is correct to claim that they can scale their way to, in the practical sense of the word, AGI.

If he is right about that, you are right that it's too late to hide it; if he's wrong, I think the AI architecture and/or training methods we have yet to invent are in the set of things we could usefully sequester.

> The equipment needed to train AI is cheap and ubiquitous.

Again, possibly:

If we were already close even before DeepSeek's models, yes, the hardware is too cheap and too ubiquitous.

If we're still not close even despite DeepSeek's cost reductions, then the hardware isn't cheap enough — and Yudkowsky's call for a global treaty on maximum size of data centre to be enforced by cruise missiles when governments can't or won't use police action, still makes sense.
An IDE's literal whole selling point is supposedly being a packaged product that you can just pick up and run with, at the price of not being particularly good at any of the things it does (and usually being pretty expensive).

If you still need to customize everything then, well, what did you actually gain over assembling your environment by yourself from actually competent pieces?

Hadn't seen the video, thanks -- that system is the one Microsoft was prototyping tho, and and my impression from seeing Palmer Lucky on CNBC is that they're tossing the existing hardware and going with Oculus. They don't have AR goggles that projects onto a visor like hololens, they went with full camera passthrough like Apple Vision. Terrible choice for mission critical IMO, at least if Hololens crashes you are left with a transparent piece of plastic.

Of course with 22B they can design new hardware from the ground up, maybe (how much did Magic Leap light on fire?)

I agree, but to 100x less of a degree than learning French, or becoming very good at chess.

One thing we need to pay attention to is the degree to which this chemical, and this class of chemicals, have been romanticized by the culture. Especially because these drugs make you more suggestible, expectations picked up from social lore can dominate one's subjective experience, and the memory of it.

It isn't hard to make a datastructure that indexes into itself. BDDs, for example, are often coded in this way. I did an admittedly poor job of one at https://taeric.github.io/trading-with-bdds.html, but I think it is enough to see the idea well enough.
I've been convinced for a long time that much of this is a jobs program for staff ui/ux developers.

Add Water – Keep Firefox in Fashion
Hello HN!

I discovered a cool app and wanted to share it with the community! For those of you using Firefox GNOME theme[0] (or those wanting to try it out :wink:), Add Water makes the whole process of installing and tweaking it much easier.

Here are some of its features:
- Installs the theme with one click. Updates are automatic
- Tweak theme styles (light/dark mode, accent colors, customize the position of some UI elements and more)
- (not exactly a feature, but it also supports Firefox variants like Librewolf and Floorp)

> Maybe, but I'm not bullish on cryptology having a solution to this problem. Every consumer device that's interesting enough to be worth hacking gets hacked within a few years. Even if nobody ever steals the key there will inevitably be side-channel attacks to feed external pictures into the camera that it thinks are coming from its own sensors.

Or the front-door analog route, point a real camera at a screen showing fake images.

That said, lots of people are incompetent at forging, about knowing what "tells" each process of fakery has and how to overcome them, so I think this will still broadly work.

That's underestimating the impact this can have. An AI which reaches human performance and speed on 250 watt hardware, at current global average electricity prices, costs about the same to run as a human costs just to feed.

By coincidence, the global electricity supply is currently about 250 watts/capita.
