Last week AllMind AI V2 had its first public showcase as we presented to over 200+ different executives and VCs across Canada.

We also showed our RHO model, which was able to predict the largest move in US Stock History: the Nvidia fall on the 27th of January 2025. This model has the capability of predicting stock movements with up to 92% accuracy. For the past few months we have been working on AllMind AI V2, and it's finally ready. We started running private betas for AllMind AI earlier this month and have already onboarded ~20 portfolio managers, with our largest client to date being a Portfolio Manager managing over 10 billion in AUM. 1000 LLM tools for finance can be found with a simple Google search. AllMind AI is different because we have built technology which actually works and doesn't rely on a RAG architecture along with GPT-4o, which can be built in a lunch break. This is something real which is helping people today, we are not a gimmicky chatbot, we are the tool which helps predict tomorrow's financial markets today.

We will be releasing the public version of AllMind AI V2 for everyone VERY SOON! Here is a sneak peak of what we have.

If you are excited to try AllMind AI you can email anwaarmalik@allmindinvestments.com

youre missing the forest for the trees. the library this demo is using for audio encoding (ggwave) was not made by the creators of this demo. speed (or lack thereof) aside, having a direct audio<->text encoding is much more computationally efficient than speech<->text generation.

on the subject of the encoding efficiency, the ggwave depo mentions the use of reed-solomon error correction to make transmission more reliable. im struggling to find any info on error correction used by bell 103 or other modems, but if they aren't as robust that could partially explain the discrepancy you're describing
this feature is one where ChatGPT will actually do a Bing search (sometimes rewriting your search query), and then show you a summary of the content of the links.

so "hallucinations" are more rare, although the model may be very gullible with respect to the content of the search results, which is similar.
I’m not sure everybody can agree that improving efficiency is necessarily a good thing at all points on the curve, nor even that simple output metrics can fully capture it. Laundry workers at Disney memorably referred to the “efficiency” leaderboard management forced on them—to improve “efficiency” through public humiliation—as the “electronic whip.”

Thanks for digging this up, that kerrisk pdf is great.
yeah I predict that we are headed in four years for a hell of a pendulum swing and the republicans need to remember that any norm they violate, any law they break, all of the insane legal theories of a unbound executive they get passed by their pet supreme court justices will be used as precedent by their opposite to the fullest when that pendulum swing back to the left.

You didn't like the parentheses and prefix operator syntax?

Syntax-wise, you could use Racket (or another Scheme, with a little more difficulty) to make a very thin layer over normal Scheme, and package it into a program called `calc`, like this:

user@computer:~$ calc

> 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/8
$1 = 3/4
>

Or do you want a bigger library of off-the-shelf numeric tools, like Python, Julia, or R?
Hyperspace uses built in APFS features, it just applies them to existing files.

You only get CoW on APFS if you copy a file with certain APIs or tools.

If you have a program that does it manually, you copied a duplicate to somewhere on your desk from some other source, or your files already existed on the file system when you converted to APFS because you’ve been carrying them for a long time then you’d have duplicates.

APFS doesn’t look for duplicates at any point. It just keeps track of those that it knows are duplicates because of copy operations.

OpenAI: Deep Research System Card
I really don't want to sound flamewar-y, but how is WebAssmebly's security model well-designed compared to a pure Java implementation of a brainfuck interpreter? Similarly, java byte code is 100% safe if you just don't plug in filesystem/OS capabilities.

It's trivial to be secure when you are completely sealed off from everything. The "art of the deal" is making it safe while having many capabilities. If you add WASI to the picture it doesn't look all that safe, but I might just not be too knowledgeable about it.
Dang this was depressing and appropriate to read on HN I guess.

In unrelated I saw a license plate with just “YC” today.

I thought the article was gonna be the following joke:

It’s a guys first night in jail. At 9pm one of the other inmates yells “51!” And all the other inmates laugh and laugh. A moment later another inmate yells “29!” And all the other inmates laugh and laugh.
The new inmate asks the cellmate - what’s going on with the numbers?
The other inmate replies, “we’ve all been in here so long we assigned jokes to a number and just say them instead. Why don’t you give it a try?”

So the new inmates yells - “14!”. And it’s silent
The new inmate asked the cellmate, “what happened, what did I do wrong?”

And the cellmate said, “you didn’t tell it right..”
So you are saying I should instead happily give him my money even though I deeply disagree with what he's doing? Let's take your argument ad absurdum: you'd happily give money to a mass murder as long as he was making a product you like?

In 2014 John Regehr and colleagues suggested what he called Friendly C[0], in an attempt to salvage C from UB. About bit more than a year later, he concluded that the project wasn't really feasible because people couldn't agree on the details of what Friendly C should be.[1]

In the second post, there's an interesting comment towards the end:

> Luckily there’s an easy away forward, which is to skip the step where we try to get consensus. Rather, an influential group such as the Android team could create a friendly C dialect and use it to build the C code (or at least the security-sensitive C code) in their project. My guess is that if they did a good job choosing the dialect, others would start to use it, and at some point it becomes important enough that the broader compiler community can start to help figure out how to better optimize Friendly C without breaking its guarantees, and maybe eventually the thing even gets standardized. There’s precedent for organizations providing friendly semantics; Microsoft, for example, provides stronger-than-specified semantics for volatile variables by default on platforms other than ARM.

I would argue that this has happened, but not quite in the way he expected. Google (and others) has chosen a way forward, but rather than somehow fixing C they have chosen Rust. And from what I see happening in the tech space, I think that trend is going to continue: love it or hate it, the future is most likely going to be Rust encroaching on C, with C increasinly being relegated to the "legacy" status like COBOL and Fortran. In the words of Ambassador Kosh: "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

> Domestication is an evolutionary strategy that has ensured that many species will exist for as long as humans will.

I agree. Outcomes always matter. Not exclusively but they're up there.

> Dogs as an entire species would not exist at all without humans. If dogs hadn't co-evolved with humans, we'd only have wolves.

True. And I appreciate the existence of dogs. I also appreciate what they gave up to be. One notion doesn't quash the other. The two viewpoints coexist and make the relationship complex.

I should clarify that my perspective doesn't demand that something must happen or that some thing must not be. At most, it suggests 1) that we value the independence of animals - to our benefit as well - and 2) it's okay to morn a little for what dogs gave up to be dogs. The worst you'll get from #2 is finding more reasons to treat dogs well.
Treaties specifically have to be approved by Congress and have approximately the same force of law and durability as the Constitution. Lately we mostly do "executive agreements" instead, which do not require Congressional approval and can pretty much be ignored on a whim by the next president. We could go back to treaties but considering Congress has given up so much of their responsibility to executive agencies because they can't even pass laws, it seems unlikely.
I dunno if there were that many successful private forums; locking off access to unregistered users back then was a really good way of ensuring no new users finding the place back then. Very very possible I just wasn't aware of private forums enough though.
Beyond that though, information was still neatly catalogued into small focused threads whereas Discord's biggest issue is that stuff just vanishes in a gigantic chain of messages.

Was a bit late for IRC's heyday but am I right in thinking it wasn't guaranteed that all users would have access to the chat history? That would create an impetus to log the information elsewhere.

Private trackers such as what.cd tended to attract people with strong archivist streaks which I think largely resolved the issue there. Oink could go down and you'd know that a huge chunk of its catalogue would appear on Waffles within a few months.
In aMErica, we elected a reality TV star / conman twice, after he led a violent mod to attack the capital when he lost and couldn't handle reality. Everything is performative at this point. We need class warfare not culture wars

I got this working with my LLM tool (new plugin version: llm-anthropic 0.14) and figured out a bunch of things about the model in the process. My detailed notes are here: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/25/llm-anthropic-014/

One of the most exciting new capabilities is that this model has a 120,000 token output limit - up from just 8,000 for the previous Claude 3.5 Sonnet model and way higher than any other model in the space.

It seems to be able to use that output limit effectively. Here's my longest result so far, though it did take 27 minutes to finish! https://gist.github.com/simonw/854474b050b630144beebf06ec4a2...

I assume it’s because it’s from John Siracusa, a long-time Mac enthusiast, blogger, and podcaster. If you listen to him on ATP, it’s hard not to like him, and anything he does is bound to get more than the usual upvotes on HN.
I would even argue that large scale JS web apps were plain impossible without Google Closure (the compiler they used to compile both Java and JS to JS, and to add types to JS) at the time.
I just received the "postponement" aka cancellation notice for the NMBH study section.

A whole round of funding opportunities sunk for no damn reason.
Most basic blunders maybe? In a normal game a piece will be attacked and defended by multiple other pieces, with various values, sometimes with some dependencies between them, and I would consider messing this part a relatively trivial blunder as well.
WASI does open up some holes you should be considerate of. But it's still much safer than other implementations. We don't allow you direct access to the FS we use jimfs: https://github.com/google/jimfs

I typically recommend people don't allow wasm plugins to talk to the filesystem though, unless they really need to read some things from disk like a python interpreter. You don't usually need to.
A more diplomatic and uncontroversial way to put it is that the event horizon is the only thing we have any evidence for.
That'll be a little bit unfair
>I think everybody can agree that improving efficiency is a good thing, and tools to track/improve it are a net benefit

Well in a void, yes, but in reality, no: You pay prices to acquire things. Occasionally we increase efficiency with no downsides aside from investment cost or complexity, but much more commonly at least part of the price paid is increased pressure on those at the bottom (lower wages, unemployment, time, stress, dignity, etc etc).
Again this microbenchark is useless. Don't pick databases this way. This is not the kind of operation you should be worrying about optimizing, it's not usually the bottleneck or what is slow.

It’s like when people think anyone reading in the park is pretentious and showing off - nooo, it’s just media. I like slow burns of stories, and was riveted by War and Peace just as much as the show Midnight Mass.

But on the other hand I get it, school taught me to hate reading, and it wasn’t until my late 20s that I realized that you could enjoy novels.

I’ll still never enjoy Joyce Ulysses because there’s too much context you need to know, but I get why people who do have all that context love it on a visceral level.
The world is tired of influencers fucking with things.
I use it to get the keywords and ideas, then use the normal search engine to get the facts. Still, even in this limited capacity I find the LLMs very useful.
Imagine if they had read something like Out of the Crisis by W. Edwards Deming.

Instead of creating a digital whip for shallow (or even outright harmful) managers, they could have developed a QA tool grounded in real, deep thinking—one that respects proven principles of manufacturing.

There’s still time to course-correct, and embracing some of the foundational literature on the topic could make the difference.

In theory, the work I do sits in that valley of death between where the government funds uncertain things at a $1e5-$5e6 level and where private capital funds things with more certainty at the $1e7-$5e7 level. It’s easy to burn a lot of labor and equipment on dead ends before you know something will scale.

They had long discussions about the pricing on the podcast the author is a part of (atp.fm). It went through a few iterations of one time purchase, fee for each time you free up space and a subscription. There will always be people unhappy about either choice.

I love the concept. I wouldn't prefer to play chess this way, but I've had a lot of practice, I find it visually a little distracting but I started getting used to it.

I had a situation where my queen was being attacked by a bishop, and the board showed a "safe" space to move my queen, but that queen would have still been attacked by the bishop along that diagonal. Not sure how you solve that, maybe when clicking on a piece, recalculate the board as if the piece is no longer there?

Wonder if simple fork, skewer, or attack counting threats could also be highlighted in some way. I suppose at a certain point it's just too visually busy and the tactics get way deeper than the surface level notions and end up being a distraction, but could be fun exploring an opening or previous game and seeing the "obvious" threats you might not have seen when playing

The 4% rule was proposed by Bill Bengen in the context of a 30-year retirement. Others have studied it in other contexts (including an infinite horizon) but 30 years is where the "safe withdrawal rate" literature started.
I never said smart people are writing code with their full intellect.

They are likely writing code with a fraction of their intellect and that code is still too complicated for normal people to comprehend.
Ok, so tea leaves can absorb some dissolved metals.

What could be better than that?

How about a drip coffee maker? A drip coffee maker creates little steam explosions to push water vapor to the top of the unit where it condenses and "drips" down over the coffee.

Since steam is being produced, in essence, distilled water is being used which if I understand the physics correctly, should be relatively free of metals.

I don't think either of them supports APFS deduplication though?
This is the same conversation we have when we add any specialized data store. Shortly after MongoDB, Cassandra, Couchbase, Elasticsearch, and Solr, critics asked couldn’t we just contort RDBMS to handle documents for flexible queries or searches. The history tells a different story. The scaling properties and feature expectations of the specialized stores culminating in tens of billions of market cap, and much more in terms of infrastructure spend.

Could the incumbents simply tack on vector features? Sure, that’s the JSONB story of Postgres. It’s the regex story of all RDBMS offerings after Oracle’s acquisition of Endeca suggested a real commercial opportunity for search-specific databases.

Vector-first storage engines have a place in the market as much as the tack on solutions do. PGVector will be good enough for most users, and Weaviate (or Milvus) will be better suited for the most ambitious, or those seeking the best dev ex.
Yeah they learn. But the tendency is still there. They make an attempt to dumb down their code but often they prioritize speed and what works.
