I had this insight that I thought was evident. "AGI is an interface problem". It made sense in the context. But when I decided to write about it, my initial idea and example were pretty weak. The more I wrote the more I found counterpoints. In fact, writing forced me to think through those arguments and see if the idea can still stand.

Many times, my ideas fade into darkness after a good writing session. But that's how you form a strong opinion.
Curious as whether writing your journals (work or home) electronically vs paper/pen makes a difference. Interested in your thoughts.

Serious question: Would it not be possible to build an adblocker that is not browser based but installable?
The browsers control what they allow to be loaded (extensions, add-ons). They are forever changing internally. If the blocking was outside the browser, they could do nothing about it. Yes, a type of proxy perhaps, whereby the stream was filtered. Could a type of uBO or similar be created that has lists to filter all traffic through the program?
Show HN: A directory of work-friendly cafes powered by Google Reviews analysis
I built awifi.place to solve the problem of finding cafes where working is actually allowed. Instead of manual curation, it uses Google Reviews analysis to identify suitable places.

How it works:
- Analyzes Google Reviews for keywords like "work-friendly" and "wifi"

- Automatically excludes cafes where reviews mention working is not allowed

- Extracts and displays relevant review quotes about wifi quality and working conditions

- Cafe owners can opt-out anytime (ethical consideration)

Technical stack:

- Next.js 15 with TypeScript

- Supabase for database

- Google Maps Location API for address/hours and outscraper for reviews

- OpenAI for generating descriptions

- AI-generated city illustrations (using recraft-ai/recraft-v3)

Currently covering multiple cities worldwide, but I am looking for feedback on the approach and suggestions for additional features before I continue with the next city as its quite pricey to retrieve the reviews.
Unfortunately they're the ones fucking around and we're the ones who get to find out.
You could argue that’s the trauma expressing itself through derivative real experiences into the future.

Looks like, this is just early prototype of already known things for Amazon, nothing much interesting. Or one could consider it as Amazon officially enter Quantum race.

But for MS their chip is Proof of Concept, which is implemented first time, and idea is very promising.

- MS idea was not taken seriously, so when they deliver working prototype, this made some shake.
Grooveshark had no ads and a much larger library in the early days. Also, you could upload your own tracks into the public listing. Iirc it was quite easy to embed a track or playlist as a widget into your personal website which was very cool in the era of non-walled-garden-internet. But it wasn't advertised as much as Spotify, not as many people used it, and the founders were the subject of tragic circumstances.
Right, that's similar to the radio example I gave (multiple vendors so that there was no single point of failure, it mitigated risk and, in theory, reduces cost by introducing competition). What I meant by aircraft though was that for a specific aircraft, it'll be run by a specific contractor for all or nearly all its subcomponents. Though there could be exceptions. See the way that heavies (cargo, AWACS, and the like) are given multiple missions and some of the mission specific components may be separate programs rather than executed by the prime for the aircraft. But you won't have the government contract for the engine and the airframe separately.

Though you also have that done for aircraft. The F-35 was selected among several aircraft that were being developed by various contractors as the one to move forward as the JSF. This is where the lifecycle of a program comes into play. In the R&D stages you'll see multiple options quite commonly because they want to compete different vendors. Eventually it whittles down to one for things like aircraft to move forward. Though, using the JSF as an example, maybe they should select multiple. LM were the geniuses that thought you could increase software productivity by hiring more programmers and having them work in shifts.

> In a narrower sense, the term refers only to those independent agencies that, while considered part of the executive branch, have regulatory or rulemaking authority and are insulated from presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited.

Congress must confirm candidate appointees to independent agencies, otherwise they are not independent of the Executive.

Can the President terminate Congressionally-approved nominations without regard for their service? They can.

Is the President totally immune? They are not.

> The FDA approved the first generic auto-injector in 2018.

Sure, but the length of the time it took, plus the lack of any pressure on the price of name-brand EpiPens, is a huge problem, in my view. The legal barriers to market entry should be exclusively technical (i.e. can you prove that your process meets consequential technical standards), and right now they're quite removed from that.

What are the potential macroeconomic impacts of like increased financial scams. I assume maybe like most things, is that it can be good short term but bad long term? Like it depends how enmeshed things get and if we end up in a similar situation to 2008?

> Apps tell Safari in advance what kinds of content to block. Because Safari doesn’t have to consult with the app during loading, and because Xcode compiles content blockers into bytecode, this model runs efficiently. Additionally, content blockers have no knowledge of users’ history or the websites they visit.

This is the same change that ManifestV3 brings - ad blockers can no longer run code to determine if they get to block content or not, they have to supply lists that the browser applies.

If you're getting good results that just means you're using good lists.

Show HN: Create a web accessible URL for your CV or resume
Hey HN! We built a quick way to normalize CVs and resumes. Specifically, we built a simple 2-page app at https://cv.studio/ where you can choose a pdf, doc or docx file, and CV Studio will extract the relevant professional metadata out of it and give you a web-shareable URL of that CV.

There are a couple other features (e.g. being able to add information that is missing in the CV) but we’re hoping this makes it easier for people to share CVs of applicants during the hiring process.

We’d love any feedback or questions you might have.

All platforms; we already cache and serve locally using SQLite (see https://www.notion.com/blog/how-we-sped-up-notion-in-the-bro...) but the cache is built as an optimization -- loads look like `isFastDevice ? (await loadLocal(request) ?? await loadRemote(request)) : (race(loadLocal(request), loadRemote(request))`

We're working on redesigning the data architecture to be more truly "local first" where every read should come from local, and falling back to the server is a rare exception. We want this to look like `await loadLocal(request) ?? await sync({ priority: request }).then(() => loadLocal(request))`

(Note: for features like content that make sense offline. Some features, like user invitation and management, only make sense online)

I'm going to try this out later! Hopefully it works with a Unix iSCSI daemon.

I have been doing this with a lot of my machines at home, and it's been awesome. Swapping what OS boots on what machine is as simple as symlinking a MAC address to a directory on my TFTP server.

I wrote up some notes for doing this on Unix systems: https://ahepp.dev/2024/08/05/linux-without-hdds.html

Looking at it again now, it seems as though these instructions assume the system is being booted in a VM. It's not substantially more difficult to boot on real hardware, as long as you add the relevant network drivers to your initramfs and handle changes to any interface names.

The ubo extension does work in orion, but I remember having to go somewhere deep into settings to make it actually be enabled. I don't remember exactly how I did it but eventually after a few restarts of the browser I got it working.

I did compare against other adblock systems on ios and found it to be the best option, as other adblocks either gave broken webpages or just didn't work at all.

DNS ad blockers like Pi Hole and AdGuardHome have been around forever. However, in non-free browsers like Edge and Chrome, they can (and do) play all kinds of tricks such as hardcoding DNS servers, cert pinning, fixed DOH routes, etc. which means it's only a matter of time until those stop working as well.
I've been doing this since 02001, except without the week numbers. I switched from CVS to Git around 02009.

It's not foolproof. On one occasion I typed in the month wrong, though in the right place in the file. When I noticed that the line was out of order, I moved it to where the date said it should be. Arriving a month late, I discovered that the studio space I'd paid for no longer existed.
Look at the comments down below that post. All unmoderated trash and spam. There's nobody in the driver's seat at Microsoft, is there?

I've made 7 figures trading Tesla stock. Currently I don't own any.
My comments above are based on precedence when sites like Facebook added these clauses and people got all panicked thinking the company was going to start selling their content (rather than selling their souls /s). The mundane truth was that they needed the wording to make sure they were legally given the right to publish the content onto the web in the way they did. So people were assuming nefarious reasons when they were just legally protecting themselves.

Now, it does seem strange that Mozilla have suddenly added this when they haven't had it previously. Personally, I deem it highly unlikely that they are planning on monetizing our content in some way; whilst they have made some strange decisions sometimes I don't think they are completely stupid. Mozilla is in a precarious position right now, they are only managing to scape by on user trust and if that disappears they are finished. I'd like to think they are not foolish enough to do something that would catastrophically erode that trust, and selling user data to advertisers would kill them.

Having thought about it a bit more now, I have to wonder if they have dreamt up some other mad scheme, like Mozilla Cloud Storage, or something that would require such wording in the terms. Hopefully, it's just a wording update to protect themselves. I guess we will find out in due course.

> What other space apart from 3 dimensional space exists? And what does that even mean?

Aside from the one and two-dimensional spaces mentioned in a sibling comment (ℝ¹ and ℝ²), there's also spaces with more interesting geometry.

For example, S² is the two-sphere, more conventionally known as "the surface of a ball." On the sphere, the equivalent of straight lines are the great circles. S¹ would be the one-sphere (the circumference of a circle), and S³ would be an interesting, periodic three-dimensional space – kind of like what our universe would be if it were closed rather than (probably) open.

I'd be surprised if it was not increasing, BTW, given the increasingly volatile climate we find ourselves in.
Areas with dense populations will be financially incentivized to generate their own storm warnings, and we'll save money on sparsely populated areas, so probably rather than spending money equally on tornadoes and hurricanes, we'll see more money spent on hurricanes and less money spent on tornadoes.

US domestic TB funding by CDC, through state and local programs, have not been cut.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is still funded by the US congressional appropriations through State department ($6B for 2023-2025) but future funding is in review.

USAID funding for the Global Drug Facility was cut. GDF is a treatment coordinator which helps deliver drugs and treatments to areas in need. GDF is managed by the Stop TB Partnership (a UN OPS program) and has largely been a success so it's not going away as it's funded by multiple nations and private organizations.

State Department could include GDF in the existing emergency humanitarian waiver.

Yes, both parties were disingenuous, one more egregiously so, but I care about results not messaging. Dems seem to think every problem is purely a messaging/PR problem.

Could that maybe be because Nvidia now has almost an order of magnitude more customers? I think they closed 2024 with 90% market share.

I'm still surprised by how much inertia there is for Ghostery.

People should have stopped using that extension nearly a decade ago after being sold to an advertising company.

Or after they went closed-source.

Or after they were caught selling user info about blocked ads back to the advertisers so they could figure out how to avoid being blocked.

Or after they started showing their own advertisements to users.
My hot take is that the 9070 XT at $600 will do OK as long as they can ship at MSRP and nvidia can't, but would have been more impressive at $500 or even $550.

The 9070 non-XT seems DOA at $550.

The most I've ever spent on a GPU is about $300 and I don't really see that changing any time soon. (And that was for a 70-class card, so...)
I think the difference between deepseek and OpenAI/Anthropic is one of the difference between practitioners and academics. Ofcourse there is world class talent at OpenAI.

I don't know that I agree I guess? I think when they say they have the right to "make copies of, retain, transmit, reformat, display, and distribute via communication tools Your Content on the Services" - that basically describes sharing your content? They copy your content, they transmit it to their service, they retain the copy, they reformat it for another context, they display & distribute it - all on "the Services."

Like what in there is "more" than you need to share an item? I certainly see how they could add more text restricting the nature of the license to be in line with user intent - but that feels like it goes against that it's "implied." Which is it? Is it obvious what rights Microsoft needs to share content or should they go into more excruciating legal detail?
