Fun website, although it tries a bit too much to be... relatable? This leaves it being oddly generic, without purpose or reason. Be more expressive about who this website targets, currently it feels like a "Spotify Wrapped" for a service I never signed up for or interacted with.

Drive a story and tell me how you as the author feel, I care for your story and motivation to build this website - weave it into this work. Not to be overly rude, but it feels like you wanted another shiny thing in your portfolio instead of helping lonely people on Valentine's day.

Tell me 10 great things I could be doing with my time instead of being lonely and miserable. This website entertained me for 2 minutes, but what should I do with the other 23 hours and 58 minutes to escape the crushing loneliness?

I am sorry for writing this in a slightly excessive way, but as a user those might be my thoughts. What can I take with me from this experience essentially?

Also, I wouldn't ask for location without a good reason - as others have already mentioned it's better to put it behind Cloudflare as an example and use the country headers for basic regionalization.
> Yes, I'm sure if academia self-sabotaged by continuing to keep out women and minorities, Trump wouldn't be stomping all over it.

Honestly, Trump probably wouldn't be stomping on it if academia merely had been more accepting of conservatives and conservative viewpoints. In other words, include and represent the full range of Americans.

But it excluded them (and then to rub it in, people used that exclusion as proof that the excluded were intellectually inferior). It's predictable that would lead to a backlash when the tables were turned, and that's exactly what we got.

If you make someone your enemy, that tends to have the effect of making you their enemy.
Hey there, I'm the author of the post. I'm actually pretty sympathetic to your viewpoint, and I wanted to clarify my stance.

I actually spent years working at a "good bot" company (Plaid), which focused on making users' financial data portable. The main reason Plaid existed was that banks made it hard for users to permission their data to other apps -- typically not solely out of security concerns, but to also actively limit competition. So, I know how the "bot detection" argument can be weaponized in unideal ways.

That said, I think it’s reasonable for app developers to decide how their services are consumed (there are real cost drivers many have to think about) -- which includes the ability to have monitoring & guardrails in place for riskier traffic. If an app couldn't detect good bots, that app also can't do things like 1) support necessary revocation mechanisms for end users if they want to clawback agent permissions or 2) require human-in-the-loop authorization for sensitive actions. Main thing I care about is that AI agent use remains safe and aligned with user intent. For your example of an anonymous read-only site (e.g. blog), I'm less worried about that than an AI agent with read-write access on behalf of a real human's account.

My idealistic long-term view though is that supporting AI agent use cases will eventually become table stakes. Users will gravitate toward services that let them automate tedious tasks and integrate AI assistants into their workflows. Companies that resist this trend may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage. Ultimately, this has started to happen with banking & OAuth, though pretty slowly.

My favorite business course in undergrad was production operations management. Some time later I realized that in data engineering, critical path analysis is useful for optimizing directed acyclic graphs.

For example, it doesn't make sense to optimize the longest running task when it's not on the critical path. If you are optimizing for $, sure. But for time, there are better tasks to optimize.
A much better solution to the ABA problem is to use load-linked and store-conditional instructions [1] on platforms where they are available (ARM, RISC-V, etc.)

Unfortunately x86 is not one of them. That's when CMPXCHG16B on x86-64 comes in handy, as per the linked article. But if you're going to write library code in 2025, it should at least support x86 and ARM.

Which brings up a more interesting argument IMO: platform fragmentation. Rust has approximately 1.5 advantages over C/C++. To displace them in a reasonable time, it probably needed 4 or 5. Its most significant contribution for the foreseeable future is platform fragmentation.

These used used to apply, but you don’t even have to do this anymore.

We have a 'red lake' in Romania that is fairly recent (river dammed by an earthquake in 1838). It looks just muddy to me. It may have been red when it formed due to water with iron oxides or something.

I used to build microgrids and work closely with utilities - generation, transmission, and distribution. This was probably 15 years ago, but they talked about the 'solar death spiral' even back then.

In my opinion, a lot had to do with how they set retail rates. The retail electric companies set different rate categories and tiers. Most residential customers don't realize that they're often subsidizing commercial and industrial customers. So, of course there's going to be a death spiral when those residential customers decide to generate themselves.
Risks - you might be exposed to an idea that challenges you, you might be bored for stretches of time, you might think the relationship is stronger than it is for the other side and embarrass yourself, especially if you read romantic interest. You might have to alter your behavior in the name of social grace. You might lose that companion.

Benefits - IRL human companionship.

> In Preact, when a signal is passed down through a tree as props or context, we're only passing around references to the signal. The signal can be updated without re-rendering any components, since components see the signal and not its value. This lets us skip all of the expensive rendering work and jump immediately to any components in the tree that actually access the signal's .value property.

Tesseract wildly outperforms any VLM I've tried (as of November 2024) for clean scans of machine-printed text. True, this is the best case for Tesseract, but by "wildly outperforms" I mean: given a page that Tesseract had a few errors on, the VLM misread the text everywhere that Tesseract did, plus more.

On top of that, the linked article suggests that Gemini 2.0 can't give meaningful bounding boxes for the text it OCRs, which further limits the places in which it can be used.

I strongly suspect that traditional OCR systems will become obsolete, but we aren't there yet.

Show HN: OpenAI API Token Tracker – Stop Overpaying for Tokens
Hey HN,

I recently encountered an issue with OpenAI's API where my free credits were still available, but my credit card got charged multiple times. OpenAI support has been slow to respond, so I decided to build a simple CLI tool to track token usage and prevent unexpected charges.

Features:
- Command-line interface (CLI)
- Real-time token usage tracking
- Multi-language support (English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese)
- Transparent logging for cost management

Not a problem. I'm sure that being able to work well with new information is the next goal most researchers are working towards, so the entire post feels like a boomer complaining "computers are bad because they're big and bulky" thirty years ago, not being able to imagine the smartphone revolution.
The political aspect of these is what made them successful, not hard work. So they are evil.

It’s not creators’ fault the platform does this. YouTube just isn’t going away anytime soon, whether we like that or not, so it makes plenty of sense to spend a bit and give those creators a little bit more revenue from my view. It also feels maybe a bit more ethical that the revenue generated from my view comes from my pocket, rather than a scammer’s stolen funds. Or, well, just declaring for yourself that creators don’t need to be paid. (Yes, there are alternative ways of paying creators like Patreon that you should also consider using, but you also aren’t going to subscribe to the Patreon of every channel you watch.)

I think most apps should primarily start with just monitoring for agentic traffic so they can start to better understand the emergent behaviors they're performing (it might tell folks where they actually need real APIs for example), and then go from there
You have to understand the nature of politics.

The left-wing position is, climate change is a significant problem and we should impose taxes on fossil fuels and low-MPG cars, subsidize renewables, etc.

The right-wing position is, the claimed consequences can be mitigated with sea walls etc., the economic costs of the proposed taxes and subsidies are significant and will cause greater hardship than the original problem, in the cases where that isn't true the market will adopt the alternatives anyway because they're cheaper, the US would fail to solve the problem and only be put at a competitive disadvantage if the result is to export the emissions (along with the industry) to China et al, etc.

But politics is a tug of war, so both sides stake out a more extreme version of their position with the hope of negotiations ending somewhere that moves the midpoint in the direction of their preference. So then you have Republicans denying that it's even happening and Democrats proposing to ban all cars and discourage people from having children etc.

Which in turn makes admitting that it's even happening a left-wing position.
I think this is true because I myself said to myself: "it is useless for me to create a library or abstraction for the developers of my project, much better to use everything verbose using the most popular libraries on the web".
Until yesterday having an abstraction (or a better library/framework) could be very convenient to save time in writing a lot of code.
Today if the code is mostly generated there is no need to create an abstraction.
AI understands 1000 lines of code in python pandas much better than 10 lines of code using my library (which rationalises the use of pandas).

The result will not only be a disincentive to use new technologies, but a disincentive to build products with an efficient architecture in terms of lines of code, and in particular a disincentive to abstraction.

Maybe some product will become a hell with millions of lines of code that no one knows how to evolve and manage.
At some point it's better to rewrite.
I think this supports my point and the OP’s example. Video game makers have figured out how to segment their customers into two groups (former and latter in the OP’s example), and this only works because they’ve made their games extremely cheap or free.

A cheap/free game supercharges network effects to amass players, each of which incrementally adds value to every other player. Most players will never directly pay enough to offset their own cost to the game maker. However, they will create a real community that draws in a small number of whale players who will directly pay for themselves and indirectly pay for all of the free players.

Not so different from the two-sided markets on Facebook and Instagram.
> As an example, because I lean "right", I'm less likely to send my kids to an American indoctrination camp to get a degree. You could laugh and judge and claim disbelief, but this is very real and I'm serious. I've literally had smart, well thinking friends from school turn into zombies spouting left-wing talking points after moving to an American college. And not "smart" left-leaning talking points, they're arguably brain-washed and not even using their intelligence to reason their left-leaning views with me.

Another way of putting this would be “I’ve seen people go off and get exposed to new ideas, and when they came back they no longer agreed with me.” But that doesn’t mean we should block access to learning.

> strict ... rules do not cover Apple's own practice of combining user data across its ecosystem – from its App Store, Apple ID and connected devices – and using them for advertising purposes.

It is not obvious to me that Apple is doing this, at least in any meaningfully industrialized sense. The biggest third party advertising platform Apple runs is App Store ads, and I think it would be surprising indeed if Apple were using any data to influence these ads beyond "what have I downloaded from the App Store" (actually, they might not even use that, I seem to recall at some point they spoke on the extreme privacy of these ads. they might just be related search term ads).

The other major one is Apple News, which is such an underused, weird service that I can't bring myself to care about it.

There's a few other minor things that sometimes look like third party ads, like... the banners on Apple TV sometimes advertising an Apple TV+ show that might have been made by a non-Apple Studio? I've never gotten the sense that is personalized, at all, its always just some new show. Maybe there's some incentive payments on the backend of Apple Music that surface certain artists, like Spotify does? Grasping at straws.

First party advertising is a bit more prevalent, but I don't feel this is what the article is speaking on, because at the end of the day the ATT system is designed to stop the proliferation of personal data. For example, the ad in the Settings app to upsell customers on AppleCare+; the Fitness+ notifications some customers get; the Apple Store app recommending accessories for products it knows you own. I'm also not going to lose sleep over any of these things.

Weak argument. I don't see any evidence of Apple not holding themselves to an even higher standard than ATT and most other companies when it comes to security and privacy. The EU just hates American tech.

Jokes aside, I find it curious what does and doesn't gain traction in tech. The slowness of the IPv6 was already an embarrassment when I learned about it in university… 21 years ago, and therefore before the people currently learning about it in university had been conceived.

The way all of us seem to approach code, the certainty of what the best way to write it looks like, the degree to which a lone developer can still build fantastic products and keep up with an entire team… we're less like engineers, more like poets arguing over a preferred form and structure of the words, of which metaphors and simile work best — and all the while, the audience is asking us to rhyme "orange" or "purple"
