For anyone interested in the therapeutic (or otherwise) use of ketamine, I strongly recommend the autobiography of John Lilly, the neuroscientist who developed the sensory deprivation tank. His discussion of ketamine-aided spiritual entity discovery and dolphin communication are enlightening.

This is exactly how we built viaForensics in 2009. For the first five years, we performed mobile forensic investigations and gave trainings based on the Android and iOS forensic books we wrote. We were able to self fund software development for the first five years. When we moved from forensics to mobile app security, we required more capital to build our automated software which led to our Series A.

Having an established business with customers in revenue, obviously significantly helps in the fundraising process and evaluation. The other huge advantage is you can benefit significantly from the Qualified Small Business Stock statute which provide an exemption/shield on federal taxes when you sell that is the _greater of_ either $10m or 10x times your valuation at the time of funding.

Lots of interesting things Apple could do with their resources.

A modern version of the Xserve RAID for high speed flash storage could be very interesting.

The Mac Mini could be used as small blades.

or they could do something really wild, like take the Oxide rack scale approach and make something big for DCs.

But they might also want to get a piece of the prosumer homelab market that Ubiquiti is in?
I think this is understood, and the app is partly satirical.
I got some answers that weren't specifically about my questions in some instances. As someone who's just trying out the free demo, it's not a big deal, but maybe you can provide a way to flag answers for to redeem their credits? It would probably increase retention and help people chase down bugs.
It's only the best answer if the other party is bothering to seek the best answer in real time, and in ways that you can't predict. If your opponent is governed by some algorithm, which is the case for torrent clients, you may need to depart from tit for tat in order to break them out of a needlessly adversarial mode. Or, if you're feeling like the bad guy today, you might need to depart from tit for tat to put them in an irrationally cooperative mode.
The biggest scam in AI is Salesforce. They’re going to take some crappy model that they made or simply switch to a better open source model. Then they’re going to make a large deal with a cloud provider to spin up all these models for all their customers and then re-sell it as AI to their customers for 100x what OpenAI gets per month. And the quality will be lower.
Show HN: XCEO – the CEO who works for you
I wanted to share XCEO, a CRM for solopreneurs.

https://github.com/kevingduck/xceo

Getting your idea off the ground is hard. XCEO helps by providing guidance, suggesting tasks, and helping you with specific steps to building momentum and reaching your business goals.

Think of it as The CRM for Solopreneurs ... Who Also Need Some Help

Keep track of your business with an AI that acts like a CEO - giving you guidance and direction while you stay in control.

▶ Try Live Demo https://xceo.replit.app

What it does

Think of this as having an AI CEO advisor that's available 24/7. While you and your team handle the actual work, the AI CEO helps by:

Making suggestions on business decisions

Creating and assigning tasks to your team

Keeping track of everything happening in your business

Guiding you through tough choices

Spotting problems before they get big

You're always in charge - the AI CEO is there to advise and help organize, not to take over (or fire you). You and your team make the final calls on everything.
this already exists in the form of medical facilities for inmates with mental and physical limitations.
The other answers are correct about only needing a single peer among any pair of peers to be addressable.

However there is a built-in hole punching mechanism in BitTorrent where peers ask for a third peer to assist in hole punching.

It's implemented in my client. It was very painful to implement. I think someone privately funded the feature which was very nice.
I don't think that's accurate. It was adding Rust DMA code that was to be shared between Rust drivers that was the spark. The C code was unchanged AFAIK.
That's one of it's best features!

But it runs on other things—Microsoft's CLR, Dart's runtime, JavaScript's runtime, Erlang's runtime, and with Jank, on top of LLVM.
Apple went bankrupt under Jobs and Wozniak and was saved by hyper optimizing foreign supply chain company Microsoft only to rise 10 years later by focusing on hyper optimizing foreign supply.
It's sad, people are already recklessly rearranging business logic via AI in key medical software systems due to global outsourcing linguistic reasons.

I am not gonna downvote you but you will need to find your manners. People around and most certainly your colleagues will be grateful for that. Perhaps also learn to deal with the arguments and different opinions without coloring them "plain wrong" in advance. Give people around you the benefit of a doubt.

> Also in this case I admit I failed to have a theory on why your number is so off because giving out prefill numbers and claiming it's decode isn't in my book.

Maybe it's because it is not off? It's not terribly difficult to sum up all the matmul calculcations and number of bytes one needs to load and store per each layer in self-attention. My number could be off for a bit but it is certainly not terribly off.
Yes they were. They were also extended for multiple years under Biden. The no fly list for no jab under Biden, discharging military who refused the shot, Biden.
It’s scary, but I think most people react rather positively once they understand that you aren’t trying to force them into something, but rather are trying to see if it’s possible to create a positive - sum result for both parties.

Make a bunch of neural nets to recognise every concept, the same way you would make them to recognise numbers or letters in handwiting recognition. Glue them together with more neural nets. Put another on the end to turn concepts back into words.

I wrote a simple scraper for a 'steam game semantic search' app I built a while ago.

It definitely won't fetch all the data that this person does though. It only fetches the current list of games on Steam, their store page information and some reviews for the game.

The code quality probably isn't amazing, but it might give you an idea of how to get started with your own scraper.

LLMs at this point are just a great replacement for Stack Overflow. If what you're doing has been heavily documented and you just need a primer or some skeletal sample code, the LLMs are great.

don’t disagree at all but what is a sensible policy you would implement regarding IRS audits?
I am a free trader in principle. However you have a country (China) with an authoritarian government that makes favored industries subsidized.

Of course the standard economic argument is that China using its GDP to make goods cheaper for our own citizens to purchase is better for us - they are subsidizing our economy. However it ignores the strategic disadvantage by our country losing its manufacturing capabilities.

The graphs may show economic advantage. It’s hard to quantify the long term strategic and militaristic disadvantage to not being able to make anything yourself if a world war occurs.
Yes, but it takes strong leadership. Service and Product companies have important structural differences in many areas, including finance, culture, technology infrastructure, and project management. I’ve seen many companies start on one side, try to add the other, and fail hard.
Neat idea. Would like to be able to type normally - clicking each letter is fairly annoying.
There's only a handful of actually complete ones. A few it's surprising they even work, they're crazy complicated, and weird, but once they're stable they need very little maintenance. They're all also written in very different styles due to a mix of C/C++ and very high concurrency.
Codegen bugs are not particularly rare either; but you usually run into them if doing "weird stuff" (which hits an edge case somewhere within the compiler).
And the first instinct of most C++ programmers when seeing weird compiler behavior is to assume their weird code somehow triggered undefined behavior, so they refactor their program until it's less weird. But then it usually also no longer hits the edge case in the compiler's logic, so the program starts working correctly. Most developers then don't spend additional hours/days to investigate whether it was truly undefined behavior or if they hit a compiler bug.
And one could peruse that under any administration. The challenge for an honest DOGE is that they must do better than 100% of past Federal efficiency policy, which is maybe a hundred incremental changes[0]. If they cause _any_ problems that those fixed, then they’re at best not up to the job and maybe even deserving cynicism.

As a longtime Vim user, I’ve got to say, the "completion-preview-mode" caught my eye. It’s pretty cool how Emacs is tossing in this slick, built-in predictive typing thing—kinda like Company or Corfu, but using its own minibuffer magic. Honestly, it’s a chill move that keeps things smooth without overcomplicating the vibe. Emacs just keeps doing its thing, polishing the edges while staying true to its hardcore, customizable soul—gotta respect that, even if I’m still Team Vim.
I spent more time yesterday trying to get "AI" to output runnable code, and retyping, than if I had just buckled down and done it myself.

But I don't think you can blame users if they're given an immature tool, when it really is on companies to give us a product that is obvious to use correctly.

Its not an exact analogy, but I always like to think of how doors are designed - if you have to put a sign on it, its a bad design. A well designed door requires zero thought, and as such, if "AI" usage is not obvious to 99% of the population, its probably a bad design.
It's reasonable, but calling it 'middle ground' where it's purely common sense is very generous.

I've often found that travel sites like TripAdvisor focus heavily on tourist info while lacking deeper historical context. Google Maps doesn’t fill that gap either.

You’re describing exactly what happened during both the Industrial Revolution and the advent of computer automation.

Prior to computerization and databases, millions of people were required for filing, typing, and physically transporting messages and information. All of those jobs, entire fields of work were deleted by computerization.
That's not quite true though. Java tracks types in the signatures of the functions, defprotocol does not. If I make a protocol and then pass a wrong type as a parameter to it then I'll get a runtime error. It's not going to tell me that I passed in a wrong type at compile time.

I find using defprotocol in Clojure tends to be an antipattern because it just makes code harder to read by introducing indirection. The libraries using defprotocol use it to solve a specific problem of creating a contract for how the API looks.
Sure, so it's always going to be annecdotal. That doesn't mean the benefits don't exist, just means they can't be objectively measured. Just like we can't objectively measure the output of a single knowlege worker, especially output on a single day

I had a super seeder implementation that seeded over 400k torrents simultaneously using some fancy callbacks at certain points in the protocol.

I think that's not viable. To make that work you'd have to keep up with the kernel for years, probably more than a decade, to reach some kind of critical mass and become influential enough to be capable of separating from it and driving decisions that run counter to it. That's not even to mention the loss it would be to have these capable teams (rust proponents for the kernel and extremely experienced maintainers and contributors who want nothing to do with it) working in parallel at best and in partial opposition at worst, when they could work together.
Thanks for taking the time to explain your process. I'm just starting out, and so far I was planning to:

- Radar: just cool categorized articles, libraries, apps, etc. that I found during the week and organized in weekly drops.

- Guides: In my mind, those were closer to TIL than real guides, though I couldn't figure out how to name them. I love TIL for that.

- Playground: Forcing myself to share prototypes, snippets, etc.

I also have tons of LLM chats that could become content. Instead of trying to rewrite them, I will just share them as they are (while being transparent).

The main idea, as you said, is to find a modality that works well for me and force myself to write more.

You’re cheating yourself in that case. Or to put it another way, if you really don’t want to comply you can just delete the app.
No, that's not how Linux started. No fork from Unix, if that's the comparison you were making. Linux started as a completely independent project, a multi-tasking kernel printing AAA...BBB, and, as it progressed, working towards being basically Unix compatible. But it was not a fork from anything.
The only person they're cheating is themselves. Any systems designed to help you curb phone addictions only work if you do the legwork and are in the mindset of wanting to improve. The systems are only guardrails to lean on when you're tired. If you decide to vault the rails, that's not sustainable in any way.

Reading this, I couldn't help but think that I am the failed version of this guy. My life mirrors his, except mine is shittier in every way. I did not go to any fancy universities. My math career went nowhere. My deep learning career isn't going anywhere, probably. My h-index isn't even a quarter of his. My only gf left me after a week. My childhood was riddled with family illness. My mother died too soon. And I even look like an uglier version of him.

And I have been managing depression since 16 (I'm in my early 30s). But, I have always questioned whether I really have depression or whether I am justifiably upset at how shit my life is. I cannot imagine being him and being depressed. But I understand that some people have everything, except happiness and peace of mind. It's so confusing.

Thankfully, I don't mess with drugs.

> The researchers found that the number of code blocks with 5 or more duplicated lines increased by 8 times during 2024.

Counterpoint: devs would have written duplicate-functionality code anyways, but it wouldn't have shown up as an exact match in years prior.

LLMs seem to bring a kind of consistency in variable naming, comments, structure, etc. that people (and teams of people) don't usually have.

> The researchers also noted a 39.9 percent decrease in the number of moved lines.

The chart shows moved lines dropping dramatically since 2021, and "churn" increasing dramatically by the same amount. Neither of these seem remotely plausible and date to well before LLM's, and rather suggest some kind of measurement artifact. That something is causing moved code to be increasingly classified as "churn", probably because something about it isn't an exact precise match. But if you consider churn to be refactoring (which is very plausible) then refactoring is actually increasing, totally opposite of the article's conclusion.
