"After the creation of the class StUser, it is highly recommended that you perform automatic creation of instance variable accessors. One possible way to do this in Squeak is to use the context menu on a class among the entry more.... There, you can find create inst var accessors. Select this command to have all accessors created."

They could have revoked the certificates of companies not listed in the TRO. Instead revocations for _all_ customers were delayed by 3 days over the time limit [1].

Additionally, it seems more prudent to me that they should drop Allegius as a customer than make the guy resign. The current situation seems like if an issue occurs again then DigiCert will not revoke the certs according to the timeline they committed to (24h).

Yes and the app wasn't even that great in the beginning, trying to put you into a "flow" where you have to pick a recipe, pick the width of your food, pick doneness from pictures, etc... and at least back then, you couldn't adjust much afterwards, you were set in what it decided for you (and I disagreed with the durations).

There was also no manual mode where you could just say, I want 54°, beep me in 45mins but keep that temperature afterwards. It was just needless friction if you had the modicum of experience. And that's without the e-waste question if they didn't get bought out. I think they had committed to opening their app if they went under at the time (I could be completely misremembering that), but such commitments don't mean much.

I think seeing them pushing the control freak all the damn time was also the tip of the iceberg that got me to cancel my pass. Setting the "temperature" with a sensor below the glass seems completely futile to me as a concept on top of it. I just don't see a practical application for it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Doesn't look like they sell it here in France, it's really a baffling, absolutely overpriced product.
This shouldn’t be possible.. Typescript devs have lost their collective minds and I’m totally here for it.

Edit : TS not front end
yes we need to play Apple's iPad from machine press ad in reverse
Saw that this morning as well, it's awesome. I do think long term especially for grid applications stellarators could be great... note that their design is ~2.7GW I believe. We're talking gigantic traditional power plant size, which the world needs, but the first generation of these facilities will cost multi billions of dollars. Also with the stellarator, doing non planar HTS coils and the associated manufacturing challenge is a very very hard problem.
> Why would I want Alexa+ if I have ChatGPT?

Presumably, because you already own/use an Alexa.

> Why isn't Alexa+ already a part of the Amazon Echo?

Because it isn't out yet?
Nice. I had looked at the older editions of this book but don't recall that it covered GPU ISA (i may be wrong here since i have not really put in the time to study GPUs) ?

Amazon search brought up the following two interesting books, perhaps somebody who has browsed/read them can chime in;

1) Advanced GPU Assembly Programming: A Technical Reference for NVIDIA and AMD Architectures by Gareth Thomas.

2) Numerical Computations with GPUs edited by Volodymyr Kindratenko.
> She can also help you search, find or buy virtually any item online, and make useful suggestions based on your interests.

The Alexa team have been struggling to make this a reality since day one according to some contacts I had there, it was always the intent. Little did they know that they had merely invented an elaborate egg timer, and I'm not sure how you'd pivot that into a profitable product.
This isn’t what they are selling.

They are selling “Alexa play all the songs Taylor made after her breakup with xxx”
True, but also the work can be reduced significantly with better tooling, which is still being developed but has improved markedly over the past decade. Eg SMT solvers that can output proofs, or tactics in Coq or Lean.

I'm hoping that this will be a big application of AI actually. If an AI can be built do to this simple but very tedious work, and your verification tool is capable of catching any errors it makes, then you've covered up a major flaw of formal verification (its tediousness) and of AI (its tendency to output bullshit).
Code vs. data.

The code needed create, train, and perform inference on a Transformer is quite short. How short depends on how you count the `import` statements in https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/model.py and https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/src/sample.py etc.

Spreadsheets performing linear regression etc., — Do they learn? Sure!

If you accept that Transformers adapt and learn then you must accept that a spreadsheet also does, because someone implemented GPT-2 in Excel: https://github.com/ianand/spreadsheets-are-all-you-need

Do polymorphic computer viruses adapt? Border Gateway Protocol? Exponential backoff? Autocomplete? And that's aside from any algorithmic search results or "social" feeds, which are nothing but that.
And HHMI makes lease payments, etc, on facilities for researchers at partner institutions that cover a lot of what would be incorporated in indirect costs.

They also cover expenses of people, not specific projects, so the broader grant means that there's less of a need for common overhead across projects.
No need to edit, no harm or fault. Title limits are hard, you do the best you can within the guidelines.

yes currently it is not a fully sql database (have to add query support)
My fav part of code is the data retrieval code because had some issues there & got to know lot about it

Learnt about B+ Trees, transactions, managing concurrent reads & data presistence
I wonder how this plays out in the future in the US as differences in tax collected versus returned tax dollars continue.
I think most probably it's best to keep this title the same as the link, and let the video be the top-level discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43184291).

I'm sorry! The thread-merging thing still has this win/lose dynamic. It's on the list to implement some karma-sharing mechanism one of these days...
You've encountered a paradox here, please wait while i try to solve it.

In the meantime, please turn off all your devices.

So you guys are basically part of the MAGA military complex? Why do you need YC?

Is funding your moonshot concept a way for YC to signal something politically?

> Alexa+ costs $19.99 per month, but all Amazon Prime members will get it for free.

> We will prioritize Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21 device owners in the early access period. If you don’t have one of those devices, and want to be among the first to experience Alexa+, you can buy one now.

Thank you for nothing, then?

I have to assume that this then has no text based interaction mode, or what is the reason for not launching chat.amazon.com which could be used in a browser?

--

Mea Culpa: I missed the part "Customers will also be able to access Alexa+ in a new mobile app (available in the Apple App Store and Google Play store) and a new browser-based experience at Alexa.com."
AFAIK Tesla is already an energy tech company, some of their energy solutions happen to have wheels and some autonomy. We still think of Tesla as a car company because that is how they make money and also how most people experience Tesla given that they see them on the road. This is similar to Alphabet and Google Search situationship.

Show HN: Yaak – An open source, Git-friendly desktop API client
Hi HN! I'm Greg and I've been working on Yaak for just over a year. I usually describe it as a Postman alternative since most developers are familiar with that, but it's targeted more toward users that just want an API client (no mocking, testing, spec design, etc).

Having also created Insomnia for a similar purpose, I never thought I'd build another API client again. But, after selling Insomnia in 2019 and watching it expand into the broader feature set of Postman, I was left wanting a simpler tool again. Yaak was my answer to that.

It's hard to describe how it's better than the 100 other API clients, since its main benefit is design, but there are a few stand-out features:

- Optionally sync data to a local directory as plain-text, for use with Git/etc
- Build and install plugins for authentication, template functions, or generic actions
- Support for REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, server sent events, and gRPC

Yaak requires a license for commercial use but this only applies when using the prebuilt binaries. If building from source, a license is not required.

It's available for Mac, Windows, and Linux and the source is at https://github.com/mountain-loop/yaak

I'd love to hear you think!
Is this not the same thing as IIT?
fft is unitary so it has really good numerical stability

Try to fit that in a context window! Absolutely amazing.
Sounds like they just want you to get a prime subscription
3kW output? I think you mean 5MW output... large electric locomotives are in 2.5 to 3.5MW continuos power. Some diesel-electric huge ones are even larger, like 5MW.
If an LLM-based voice assistant/hardware combination works as well as ChatGPT-for-voice works today, I don't think it's a stretch to say that nearly everyone in the coming years will use/have one (the software of course will be portable to whatever device you're using--house, phone, car, etc. But the hardware portion I do believe will be critical because most of the time using it will be at home in a room and in that scenario sound quality will actually be key).

That said, if nearly everyone will find utility in an assistant, obviously the biggest issue with using one of these, as this Amazon announcement illustrates, is whether you really can trust the company with such a thing when you would be having entire conversations about everything from your interests to something as sensitive as your emotional state (anyone simulated a therapy session with ChatGPT? It arguably is already a decent therapist!).

One of two things will happen, though. People will be dumb enough to "upload" their deepest darkest secrets to megacorp x (thousands of HN users cackle in the distance as if that's not happening today) or a completely privacy-safe option will be available and will win because they're able to effectively communicate that they are in fact private. It's one thing for Google or FB to build a picture of who you are, what you think, etc. through browsing activity/purchases/etc. It's entirely something else for you to literally tell them every last thing about you so that they can hear, in your own words, how you think about "everything."
Because it takes so much work.

Good software, even with bugs, released today, can be used today. Perfect software, released two years from now, cannot be used today, or next week, or next year. "Good now" beats "perfect later", at least now, but often it beats it later too.

While someone is working on "provably perfect", someone who isn't using that approach has released four versions that were not perfect, but were good enough to be useful. That person took the market, and when the provably perfect version finally comes out, nobody cares, because they're used to how the other one works, and it has more features. And if the "provably perfect" person wants to implement those features, they have to change the program, which means they have to re-do the proof...
So if the user submitted a question not already generated, would that be like a cache miss and it would instead fall back to a real time query?
A good channel overall. Some things are better, some other worse but for instance, his explanation of the Bayes theorem is on par with the one from 3blue1brown
This argument is highly strained. Yes, it is nice of people to support the OSS projects they use.

But you’re essentially claiming that no one can offer any kind of managed platform built on open source tools without contributing to them. No one should profit off of, say, Linux, by selling you access to a Linux VM. No one should profit off of git by providing a managed git repository. No one should profit off of react by using it for their money-making website.

That would be absurd. WP Engine is by no means close to the equivalent of an AWS in the WordPress world. There are thousands of WP hosts, few of which actively contribute much back to WP. But that’s frankly just how OSS works, and everyone knows that’s the case. No one is starting OSS projects expecting ever user to contribute back.

And by the way, I’m a developer who contributed to WordPress quite a bit. Automattic is not being “left out to dry” by companies selling WordPress hosting without contributing back. In fact, it (used to be) one of the most valuable companies in the space, precisely because it has influence over 40% of websites in a way WP Engine doesn’t.

All Matt did was poison the ecosystem with a rug pull. The best you can do as an OSS leader is encourage other companies to contribute with things like Five for the Future. Beyond that, you don’t have recourse.

WP Engine would only be a truly toxic player if they had high or undue expectations from the OSS project in the form of large numbers of bug reports, feature requests, or complaints. As a WordPress contributor, I never saw that to be the case. All they did was sell web hosting the same way thousands of other companies do in the ecosystem.
I forgot about "Zalgo". You can definitely get more than 4 billion glyphs, indeed a great deal more, by stacking on modifiers.

I can see an argument that that's not really a "valid" use case that we need to worry about too much, though. Emoticons are well on their way to having more possible fully legal, fully intended outputs that go beyond what 32 bits could specify.
the person you're replying to is absolutely unhinged, sadly

With fusion, there is no Uranium or Plutonium or highly radioactive materials. The main concern is Tritium which is a categorically reduced concern from enriched Uranium (but still needs to be secured and accounted for).
Very cool, I just learned about these recently. I wonder, at what point does something become not eligible to be an island? Like, that biggest island looks like almost half of North America. Doesn't that make the other half an even bigger island?
Not only is the museum itself awesome (and free), they are also responsible for almost every US warplane on display around the world. You can download a spreadsheet from their website showing where planes are on "loan".
Something popular in my area, especially in the somatics community, are grief ceremonies ala https://www.earthdance.net/event/grieving-ourselves-whole-ex... although there are several variations. If that feels too new age-y or its not offered near where you live, it may be worth looking for grief groups/bereavement support, either through your preferred religious institution or through the local medical community (they're often supported by your local hospital)
I don’t think I could say anything that hasn’t already been written about the causes of this problem. But, I’m glad we have some tools that make things more pleasant while we work it out. Also existence of said tools could provide an incentive to go back to that world. If a website is awful, people will browse it with bots and reader modes, a good incentive for people to make their websites not suck.
Nothing to do with the hot news of the moment. It's just YC doing what it always does.

I think there is probably some kind of headline bleedover effect where, because of repetition, we start seeing these things everywhere, like the afterimage of a bright light.
It's debatable if even bonobos chose to be bonobos.

I wouldn't want to make out with my neighbors to solve conflicts anyway.
> If parking somewhere requires an app, or eating at a restaurant requires a QR code, I'm just going to go somewhere else.

I always hated this kind of technology use. I love technology when it is used to do things that were not possible before or hard to accomplish. I hate QR codes, but even they can be handy at times (without the QR code I would have never encountered the DB ICE Portal for example).

The examples you brought up are small but ubiquitous enough to be extremely annoying. Instead of getting a few printed menus on the table, everybody on the table spends 10 minutes being glued to their phones, zooming and scrolling around to make sense of the offer and select something. Instead of just being able to pull a parking ticket at a meter I have to figure out which of the damn apps I have to use to pay for my parking. And with scammers almost always being smarter then the service providers, I now also have to make sure that I don't fall for "Quishing" scams [1] (honestly no clue if that is as thing elsewhere)

Good advice.

My current research workflow is:

* Add sources to NotebookLM

* Create a report outline with NotebookLM

* Get Perplexity and/or Chatgpt to give feedback on report outline, amend as required.

* Get NotebookLM and Perplexity to each write their own versions of the report one section at a time.

* Get Perplexity to critique each version and merge the best bits from each.

* Get Chatgpt to periodically provide feedback on the growing document.

* All the while acting myself as the chief critic and editor.

This is not a very efficient workflow but I'm getting good results. The trick to use different LLMs together works well. I find Perplexity to be the best at writing engaging text with nice formatting, although I haven't tried Claude yet.

By choosing the NotebookLM sources carefully you start off with a good focus, it kind of anchors the project.
yes man it is currently a sql db, have to work on adding query language
thanks for checking it out
I understand, but it's the wrong question IMO. It was dramatically under-priced before, and less so now.
I guess another question --

Maybe I don't understand how the DNC works, but who are these people specifically? I don't think Obama wants this. Neither Kamala nor Tim Walz ran on this. Mark Cuban doesn't, nor do I think any of the silicon valley Democrat Billionaires. Maybe Nancy Pelosi does? I don't really I guess know who the shadow super-progressive woke figures are, nor how to get rid of them.

Like it's weird that a lot of the public leadership seems to get it, but that there's this perception that the "DNC" or "Democrats" don't.
> ...visit a friend in Washington DC ... an apartment complex could never be occupied by an Orthodox Jew like me (since I cannot use my phone on Shabbat and the holidays), because at every turn the most essential tasks are accomplished with a smartphone.

IANAL, but that sounds like some sort of lawsuit and/or PR disaster just waiting to happen.
Diagnosis in Engineering Strategy
The underlying technology does not exist in a production form, to the extent that it's not clear which basic reactor design option is going to be the future. So we can't know what the maintenance burden from a fisson rector is, much less one mounted on a train. Don't plan on tearing down those overhead cables just yet.
It's funny that you mention eggs because there's actually been a recent paper regarding sous vide, soft-boiling, and achieving the "ideal" egg texture through a novel boiling process (novel to me, anyway) which they've opted to call "periodic cooking": https://www.nature.com/articles/s44172-024-00334-w

There's a lot of cool diagrams which I'd encourage skimming that link for, but here's the basic rundown: the goal of the described process is to achieve a creamy yolk like what would be produced via sous vide whilst eliminating the unpleasant jammy eggwhite texture characteristic of that process. The recipe involves 30 minutes of carefully transferring an egg back and forth between two vessels repeatedly: one boiling, one room-temperature. You do that 16 times in exact two-minute intervals in order to achieve the "perfect" egg -- very simple and convenient for the modern home-cook in a hurry!

Anyway... you can watch this guy on youtube make it so that you may eat some other, more sufferable meal more vicariously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahGGanfPDJw
That’s been their game plan all along. I think Ring pro was free for Prime members. Now, we need to pay a subscription.

A WASM runtime in TypeScript types is impressive in its own right, but I think I can dimly see how it could work with a lot of effort. https://github.com/MichiganTypeScript/typescript-types-only-...

What I don't understand is how this thing does keyboard input.

At 3:42, the video simply says, "And, yes, there's a way to do keyboard input," without elaborating on how. What sorcery is that? There must be something outside the type system translating keyboard input into TypeScript types…??

It Was the Programming Language of the Future – Why Is Nobody Using It? [video]
Our company of >100 people is all remote and all our internal comms are through Slack.

The silence is deafening, surprisingly so, when Slack goes down like this. It happens so rarely (to the Slack team's credit), but when it does, it feels just like when the power unexpectedly goes out.

We totally forget how much we rely on it until it disappears.
Whether or not the choices are good ones depends on what factors matter to you. Even then, not all choices made are the best ones to achieve the ends of the designers and users, but in a product like this, they were made.

One way art can be bad is by refusing (or being unable to) make choices. Whether that's from lack of perception, skill, or interest. Of course you can subvert this by refusing to make choices, but that in itself is its own choice - it has intent.

I think the HN crowd often make an assumption that they have all the information necessary to judge something. It doesn't have an SD card slot! Is it possible that Sigma saw how their customers use these cameras and figured that they could significantly simplify the enclosure design and packaging by omitting an SD card facility? I don't know! But I think that this is interesting, and makes me think of the 20-somethings I see toting MLCs in the city, for whom I get the sense that a camera is a lifestyle component, not a professional one. Maybe they don't need to shoot >200GB a day? What's it like to have technology as a fashion statement? Being utility-minded engineer, what am I missing about people's relationships to objects?
Excellent initiative. From the 1st reading, it does seem "within the realms of current technology". All the best.

I have a small question. Which CAD / 3D / Physics software is used for such design and simulations ?
