Not quite "self-replicating AI". More of a quine. Still cool, though.

If 500 hours less work isn't "far less", I don't know what is. If we impose that change on the current work schedule, it would amount to a more than 2 hour decrease on every work day, or a day off the work week. Also, do these numbers account for the hour long commute of today versus working your own land? I bet that would shave off some solid hours too.
Show HN: AniTX – Platform for Anime
Not sure if there are any anime fans here but thought of leaving it here anyways.

I don't like how hostile places like X or Reddit have become for Anime discussions, so I made a safe space for us anime lovers and artists to discuss anything about Japanese animations, Mangaka, and other interesting things.

The coolest feature on AniTX is probably the "Grid Editor". It is something I've always wanted it to exist but never seen them on any sites before. It basically lets you customize how you want the image grid layout for your post to look, here's a short showcase of it: https://youtu.be/Qe_wwIcMUqo

Also spoilers, omg. Those are what I disliked the most so I made sure to add a way for user to mark their image as a spoiler + give the spoiler a context so other people will know if it's safe to reveal or not. I think this is a nice way to do it.

Last thing I wanted to talk about is the concept of "Topics", which basically acts as a separation between different Anime communities like One Piece, Demon Slayer, or so. There are 3 types of Topic Anime/Manga/Game to keep it simple and each post can have multiple Topics assigned to it. Each Topics also has its own "Locally Trending" ecosystem as well using XLM-RoBERTa model to extract keywords from the posts.

Still have so much more cool stuff I wanted to discuss about but this post might be getting a little bit too long, you should be able to read more stuff on the landing page. If you guys have any questions about tech stack or anything let me know, I'll be happy to answer them.

You can view the entire site activites for fun here https://anitx.co/discover
Thanks HN! I hope this is interesting enough to be posted here haha.

Calling that tyranny really devalues the word, especially when you had to buy an Apple device to be "subjected" to it, and there are alternatives.
The natural conclusion I see is dropping the delusion that every human must work to live. If automation progresses to a point that machines and AI can do 99% of useful work, there's an argument to be made for letting humanity finally stop toiling, and letting the perhaps 10% of people who really want to do the work do the work.

The idea that "everybody must work" keeps harmful industries alive in the name of jobs. It keeps bullshit jobs alive in the name of jobs. It is a drain on progress, efficiency, and the economy as a whole. There are a ton of jobs that we'd be better off just paying everybody in them the same amount of money to simply not do them.

Nice. How do I get into that kind of position?

> Tech debt paralyzes companies all the time, but nobody hears about it because there's zero advantage to the companies in sharing that info.

If nobody hears about it, then how do you hear about it? Moreover, what makes you think it's tech debt and not whatever reason the business told you? And further, if it's tech debt and not whatever reason the business told you, then don't you think the business lied? And didn't you just say they're not allowed to lie?

Ask HN: What are some economical ways to access LLMs?
Want to hear about your experiences in terms of cost from various providers of LLM APIs. For example, for my usecase, I don't need to have a real time response. Are there any services that exploit spot instances and such, where I can submit a set of queries and get responses after a few hours, but costs much less?

In practice you'd probably try to limit to just a few key tables. Probably limit columns the model is controlling as well and provide a lot of detail about what each captures. I think this would help a lot. But overall I don't disagree.
The proliferation of harmful AI capabilities has likely already occurred. Its naive to not accept this reality when tackling this. A more realistic approach would be to focus on building more robust systems for detection, attribution, and harm mitigation.

The paper makes some good points - it doesn't take a lot of data to convincingly emulate a writing style (~75 emails) and there is a significant gap in legislation as most US "deepfake" legislation explicitly excludes text and focuses heavily on image/video/audio

Yes, we agree it’s not about the cost. As long as the benefit remains, the loss can be assessed. A negative return alone doesn’t automatically disqualify a program.

The EU regulation is to prevent Apple from having a monopoly over mobile software distribution.

The UK (not the EU) wants to just force Apple to backdoor iCloud. Insamuch as this backdoor involves any on-device code, it's the standard iCloud daemon (ubiquityd, AFAIK) that runs so long as you have an Apple Account sign-in. (can you even use an Apple device without one?) There isn't going to be a mandatory "UK Surveillance" app that everyone has to install, it's all going to be done server-side without your knowledge.

If your goal is to spy on people's phones, shipping an app is not a great way to do that. You have to trick the user into granting specific permissions, use fingerprinting to correlate different data streams, and hope Apple doesn't catch and ban you. Furthermore, third-party app distribution means you have to convince your user to install random shit from the web, which lots of people are afraid of. And finally, Apple still reviews third-party distributed apps and still has the right to reject malware. The only control they ceded is that now apps they don't want on the App Store for non-technical reasons (e.g. they're a brand risk or the developers refuse to pay their tithes[0]) can live on AltStore PAL. But there's no additional spying being enabled that wouldn't have been available had Apple not been forced to respect third-party app stores.

[0] Note that if you do use third-party distribution you still have to pay a "core technology fee" per install, so you still have to pay a tithe, but it's a different and potentially smaller one.
This is slop.
Then what's the point of such an arbitrary comparison? It's normal that plenty of commodities that were expensive when new have been devalued by age and can cost less on the used market than the top of the line BRAND NEW cutting edge GPU today, which itself will be worthless in 10-20 years on the used market and so on.
> More often than not, you're just dealing with logic bugs

Definitely. More often than not you're dealing with logic bugs. So the thing solving them will sometimes have to be able to reason quite well across large code bases (not every bug of course, but quite often) to the point I don't really see how it's different than general intelligence if it can do that well. And if it gets to the point its AGIish , I don't see why it can't do Kernel work (or in the very least - reduce the amount of jobs dramatically in that space as well). Perhaps you can automate 50% of the job where we're not really thinking at all as programmers, but the other 50% (or less, or more, debatable) involves planning, reasoning, debugging, thinking. Even if all you do is python and js.

My experience does include some exposure to several of the projects. The first was at Mark Williams Company (MWC), where the first version of the Unix-like operating system Coherent was first done on a PDP-11/45. The first thing to be done was to build a C compiler from scratch and was accomplished by one of the 10x programmers that I knew, David G. Conroy (DGC). For a time, Intel used the MWC 8086 compiler repackaged as their own. The C compiler was also sold for MS-DOS and some really odd machines. One of those was for Rediffusion who wanted to a compiler for their bespoke architecture. It was simple enough that I wrote an emulator for the language as a basis to test the compiler.

Another computer mentioned was the Rainbow. DGC ported the compiler there, and in the process, wrote MicroEMACS, which is now known as MG on Linux and Unix. (Apparently this is the editor that Linus uses.)

We also had a VAX (I think it was a 730, very low-powered) to port the 8086 compiler to be hosted on VMS.

After MWC, DGC went to DEC and worked on DecTalk, an early text-to-speech device. The story goes that one member of the team, whose voice was used as the basis for the sounds, lost his voice. Thus his voice lived on only through this device.

When I was at Sycor in the late 70s, our computer was a PDP-10 (or Dec-10) running Tops 10. We wrote a cross compiler for 8085 in Bliss-36. (The assembly language for the PDP-10 was probably the most attractive I have come across.)

DGC also worked on the Alpha team (https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/X1720.99...) . He is now at Apple, and he has a side hobby of building Alpha boards out of FPGA (http://fpgaretrocomputing.org/).

When I was at Datalogics (1990-1992), who trained probably. half the world in SGML, and provided software for database publishing, legal loose leaf publishing (ask me about footnotes) and whose software was printing a substantial fraction of the red herring prospectuses at the time. They used a VAX running VMS. I had a Dec Station running some flavor of Unix. This was my first use of Emacs. As opposed to MicroEMACS.

"Extended methods in iterators" sounds like a developer-experience quality of life feature that could be easily avoided.

The secret sauce is using a big LLM to generate many “responses” for some given intents, then use phi or something cheap to do intent detection and pick one of the pre made responses.

You can generate 100s of responses per intent, so the user may not ever get the same response twice.

Ofc it depends on your use case, but smoke and mirrors are your friend.
High frequency trading. If you’re talking something more hardware focused, try job searching for the exact term “C/C++”. These jobs are typically standard library deprived (read: malloc, new, etc) and you’ll be making calls to register sets, SPI and I2C lines. Embedded systems, really; think robotics, aviation, etc. If that’s still too little hardware try finding something in silicon validation. Intel (of yesterday), AMD, nvidia, Broadcom, you’ll be doing C to validate FPGA and ASIC spin ups. It’s the perfect way to divorce yourself from conventional x86 desktops and learn SOC programming, which close loops itself back into fields like HFT where FPGA experience is _incredibly_ lucrative.

But when anyone says systems programming, thinks hardware: how do I get that additional 15% performance on top of my conventional understanding of big O notation? Cache lines, cache levels, DMAs, branch prediction, the lot.

Show HN: Contract Risk Visualization
Hi all,

We'd like to spread the word about Sunami, our Inference-Time-Scaled AI, which, in our opinion, can behave in smarter and more competent (and incorruptible) way compared to the average lawyer.

It can save people a lot of money and hassle when it comes to contract reviews, especially on-the-go when you're having to sign something on the spot (take a photo or screenshot it on your phone) and get a quick visual thumbs up/down in seconds.

We’re targeting Legal Ed and building a community for lawyers and users to interact and transact with the help of AI, making law truly accessible to everyone.

We will be adding 100s of ToS, EULA, employment agreements (no names), VC term sheets, you name it, but definitely VC term sheets... a subject close to our hearts! You can actually see the YC SAFE comes out 100% in the clear but can't say that for some VC's term sheets (and we can't wait to share more with you, once a real lawyer clears it on our end =)

I hope you dig the concept and intent behind Sunami (helping keep everyone above water legally). Feel free to share your ideas if you wish to collaborate info@sunami.ai

And if this doesn'r get noticed then oh well we tried. It's not like we can apply to YC (too old to join the club.)

Enjoy.
The problem there would be your breaker. I am not an electrition but I can tell you that when I tried adding a heated MAU to my house, I had to switch to a 120v washer/dryer because my electric panel did not have space for another 208v line.

(Note, my building is actually 3 phase 208 volt not 240volt so I don't have 240 volt plugs but 208volt plugs)

>It's not a best practice, but the last 10 years I've run my home server with a smaller faster drive for the OS and a single larger disk for bulk storage that I choose using Backblaze Drive Stats. None of have failed yet (fingers-crossed). I really trust their methodology and it's an extremely valuable resource for me as a consumer.

I also have multiple drives in operation in the past decade and didn't experience any failures. However unlike you, I didn't use backblaze's drive stats to inform my purchase. I just bought whatever was cheapest, knowing that any TCO reduction from higher reliability (at best, around 10%) would eaten up by the lack of discounts the "best" drive. That's the problem with n=1 anecdotes. You don't know whether nothing bad happened because you followed "the right advice", or you just got lucky.
Yes, this is part of it, (but I'll say, only a fraction of it.)

Big crisis at the company? Some businesses deal with very sensitive situations, which can include deaths or serious financial/info breaches. I discussed one of these with an org just this week.

Can you imagine the reaction to an AI that's scripted out a response?

"We're genuinely sorry... [insert 1000 words of generic feel-good garbage]."

We all know the AI isn't genuinely sorry, and good luck having it respond to the angry reactions from its own de-humanized response.

Or not...it likely wouldn't be able to tell when to respond and when to leave well enough alone. Not that every executive knows either, but still.

> The market was very good at increasing profit when demand was larger than supply.

That's what it's supposed to do. Then in the absence of regulatory barriers to entry, new suppliers enter the market to capture those profits, until the profits aren't so big anymore because there are more suppliers.

One of the things that messes people up here is that they want consistency but don't want to pay for it. You have a competitive market which is providing low prices until there is a supply disruption. Then prices are temporarily high. If you wanted to you could have bought insurance or futures etc. so that you would always pay a consistent price, but then you'd be paying a higher price than the market on the days when supply is good so that you could pay a lower price when supply is low. People then complain about that too, but those are your options; if you pick the "don't buy insurance" one then you're exposed to events, but you should be the one who gets to choose.

And maybe if you're poor you don't want the insurance, what you want is to have the lower price most of the time and cut back your usage when the price is high. But either way, that should be something you get to decide instead of something somebody decides for you.
> But here we’re working on local networks where there’s no way to get a certificate because there’s not a domain name that points to the local IP address.

There are options for this, that needn't cost.

In a company with controlled workstations, have your own CA and push the trust of that through GP or in your standard OS build, point whatever domain you like (“real” or just a local-only DNS entry) at your host and sign a cert for that with the internal CA. Generating keys & certs for each workstation can be automated. You could sign a wildcard subdomain and key+cert for each machine or person, .pc101.devteam.internal/.johndoe.devteam.internal, so each user can setup multiple dev/test services on their box without requiring support from the infrastructure team.

Or get a wildcard from LE or similar for some [sub]domain, point *.[sub.]domain to 127.0.0.1 and let everyone have the keys for that. You need to renew every 3 months or less and redistribute the cert, but that isn't massive hardship and can be automated. Also make sure this is only for dev/test though, not internal tooling that might handle read data/controls, or having multiple (potentially many) people with access to the private key is a massive security issue.

Using proper names & certs and not encouraging disabling checks for local dev/test, reduces the risk of code that doesn't do proper verification getting let out into the wild later when someone forgets to switch checks back on.
Funny read. There could be a huge difference between licking the tape and chewing the tape. Which I guess is why they found it to be mildly spicy and not hellishly spicy.
Great example, thanks. There must be realistic limits to scaling such models? Administrative, land to crop to member ratios, etc.? Exploitation/arbitrage must find its way in at some point where it becomes an economy... (Not trying to argue definitions, just thinking about practical governance to extend the model to practical human scales.)
Is it actually reasoning though or just pattern matching? Seems like to compare one should also “know” which your above response indicates they do not.

I guess the real question is “does moving down a stochastic gradient of probabilities suffice as reasoning to you” and my awnser is no because you don’t need reason to find the nearest neighbor in this architecture. In this case the model is not actively comparing and inferring its simply associating without “knowing”
