I recall a hotelier who advertised free WiFi at a time when everyone thought that monetizing WiFi was a hot new revenue stream.

"What," he was asked, "is the business model for free WiFi?"

"What," he retorted, "is the business model for free washrooms?"
An earlier story posted here, discussed the presence of water around a most distant supernova remnant. The gas surrounding the star had been fused by the shockwave into an expanding sphere of nearly uniform oxygen which then combined with the remaining hydrogen to produce an enormous volume of damp air.

Just a few molecules per cubic meter or less. Estimated at ten trillion times the entire volume of water on earth. Seemed like a lot at the time.

So that was early oxygen. But atypical.

I'm going to go out on a limb and also suggest that there's a lower barrier to entry with HTML. You get a lot "for free" and this means there's more to choose from.

Oh yeah this is very much the case. Every time I ask ChatGPT something simple (thinking it'd be a perfect fit for an LLM, not for a google search) and it starts searching, I already know the "answer" is going to be garbage.

If I substitute "AI" with "a system that Google's information", you get the same result. In fact, even if you were to have a human search the unverified sources you can have the same result. Even a physician could suggest a deadly drug combination. There are many, many other analogies.

The issue is not the upstream information source, but how a a downstream use case leverages it. Remember the lawyers who were sanctioned for using ChatGPT[0]?

Even the loan use cases you're describing already requires higher levels of transparency by law. For example, you can't use black boxes for credit applications: hence interpretable models are used to comply with regulations.

In short, the best way to protect against these errors is to make sure everyone knows to defend against it unless you're willing to throw out the technology entirely or demand the use of specific training sets.

Let's say you had a local model with the ability to do tool calls. You give that llm the ability to use a browser. The llm opens that browser, goes to Google or Bing, and does whatever searches it needs to do.

Why would that be an issue?

I have not seen what he actually said. However, the agency is quoted in the article saying it wasn't "political". I also saw in another article that it involved "terrorism". Since Trump has had two assassination attempts, they have heightened scrutiny. As long as you don't advocate for violence, I'm sure you're fine.

> All domestic producers which produce products that cost less than imported competitors

Who will afford to buy their expensive products? Cheap imports are what is making minimum wage-earners circumstances bearable. Full-on reshoring is untenable without reforging the entire economy for higher salaries at the bottom. The whole system has feedback loops (higher wages -> higher product prices) which will cause pain for a long, long time before things stabilize. I don't think Americans have the stomach for it now, moreso with the threadbare social safety nets being shredded. Any politician or political group pushing for this will not survive long enough to see it through. The task is impossible for leaders incapable of considering second order effects, and beyond.
If OpenAI wants to have access to the second largest consumer market then yes, they will have to comply, regardless of what people think about their investments.
Maybe! Still a great time though my attitude is pretty much "any time is a great time" for starting something.

Yeah, if you're writing user-facing apps, writing against Mach wouldn't be smart. But if you're a vulnerability researcher on the other hand... it's a neat trick and might just help you find a CVE! (even though most stuff has moved to XPC now and you could just used the public XPC API's there)
I worked on this once after an argument with my boyfriend.

The original argument was "the ones digit has permanent pattern in 2^n {2,4,8,6,2...}.

We made a system to generate digits for powers of two, although eventually we just made one that can take arbitrary bases, and found that you can decompose digit frequency and find a variety of NMR like resonances that vary based on where you terminate data collection.

It was really fun and this makes me want to get back into this so I could check the properties of those resonances across bases and stopping points for data collection.
How do you ensure what a dev builds and tags and pushes is coherent, meaning the tag matches the code commit it’s expected to?

AMD AI Max+ 395 systems should be around $2k with 128gb DDR5X, the Mac Studio maxed out is just north of $12k. So it's in the middle depending. This will also vary greatly in terms of usability for other things.

That said, a nice OEM option if you need something for AI workloads where the GPU market is completely soaked with scalpers. Been considering a drive to California just so I can get a GPU directly at MicroCenter instead of paying scalper overheads.
well just piping for hot water system is more expensive then PV panels.

But biggest expense is instalation costs(humans) so it depends how you calculate. But PV system can be used for hot water, tv, car, charging kids bikes, lawnmower etc. Solar thermal can be used only for hot water (or cooling if you use multistage heat pump but that is viable only in office buildings or hockey stadiums and such).
HN title says "... road access from USA to Alaska".

"Contiguous USA to Alaska" would be fine, but ~"USA to USA" is poorly-worded.

Not confusing, mind you. Just poorly-worded!

If you spend any time living in Hawaii or Alaska, and then move to the mainland, you will receive a shockingly high frequency of questions about what it's like to move to the US.

GP might have similar experiences.

For non-US readers, or for the geopolitically-unaware, Hawaii and Alaska became US territories in the late 1800s, but didn't become states until 1959.
These videos are edutainment at best, which is generally not a good way to learn something well enough to be able to actually work with it. A lot of them are pretty much straight up entertainment, where the entertainment value comes from drama and strong opinions. They're totally fine if you know that, but some of their audience does not know that.

I've been seeing more and more of a certain kind of person who are into these videos on some Discord servers, and it is clear that they are driven more by culture and style than by the goal of creating some thing, or having a strong understanding of how to make computers do certain things.

Pretty confident. Emission spectra are very specific. The relationship between specific emission lines are invariant to changes in wavelength (redshift/blueshift), and they're complicated enough that it's not too big a deal to weed out false positives.

I still think there is value in chats and retaining context. But there is also value in starting clean when necessary. Giving users control and teaching people how to use it is the way IMO.
Globalization and trickle down irrigation are... wait, that should have been economics... anyway, are the worst scams of the century. Sure, there were some benefits from globalization. But consumers lost sight on the notions of self-sufficiency and sovereignty, and played nicely into capitalism's 'extend, embrace, extinguish' philosophy. In my view, the net exports from the US to the rest of the world has been negative. Therefore, in due time, the rest of the western world, or wherever there prevails some notion of democracy, should strive to excise the US out in all shapes and forms--politically, culturally, technologically, and everythingally. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the next best time is now.

And, no: the irony of my writing this on a US-based platform is not lost on me!
It does work. As I said, I had to go through it with a family member a few months ago. It's hardly Apple's problem if a user forgets their password AND email address.

It is for all paid users, something OpenAI is slow on. I pay for both and I often forget to try OpenAI's new things because they roll out so slow. Sometimes it's same-day but they are all over the map in how long it takes to roll out.
The framework itself is super low overhead. You can deploy this anywhere, and if you deploy to inngest.com the P99 latency of starting agents is sub-50ms (and you can also realtime stream steps, tools, or model responses to the browser).

One of the main differences is the DX — _how_ you define the agentic worklflows is far cleaner, so it's both faster to build and fast in production.
We expected heavy elements from supernova. It’s surprising that there is 10x more heavy elements than expected. Were there more supernova? Bigger ones? Are we missing other pieces of the picture?

I like zed's approach, where the whole discussion is a plain text file you can edit as any text, which gives you the ability to change anything in the "discussion" regardless if it was generated by you or the llm. It makes stuff like that much simpler, ie you can correct simple stuff in the llm's response without unecessary back and forths, you can just cut parts out of the discussion to reduce context size or guide the discussion where you actually want removing distractions etc. I don't understand why the dominant approach is an actual, realistic chat interface where you can only add a new response, or in best case create "threads".
> And that's the ultimate fail of capitalist ethics - the notion that we must all work just so we can survive. Look at how many shitty and utterly useless jobs exist just so people can be employed on them to survive.

This isn't a consequence of capitalism. The notion of having to work to survive - assuming you aren't a fan of slavery - is baked into things at a much more fundamental level. And lots of people don't work, and are paid by a welfare state funded by capitalism-generated taxes.

> "Machines will do everything and we'll just reap the profits" is a vision that techno-millenialists are repeating since the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, but we haven't seen that happening anywhere.

They were wrong, but the work is still there to do. You haven't come up with the utopian plan you're comparing this to.

> For some strange reason, technological progress seem to be always accompanied with an increase on human labor.

No it doesn't. What happens is not enough people are needed to do a job any more, so they go find another job. No one's opening barista-staffed coffee shops on every corner in the time when 30% of the world was doing agricultural labour.

We don't have an absence of details. We have a lot of details about the current administration of the united states, what their goals are, who they perceive their enemies to be, and what tools they intend to use against them.
I don't really see how the Highway 17 situation is unique in the context of winter storms though. As per the comment above this, most transit of East and West goods occurs via other means, meaning the Highway 17 bottleneck is hardly some vital artery. A winter storm shutting down Highway 401 for example is much more economically chaotic, and has the practical impact of making travel through its corridor impractical (and in some circumstances just as impossible as if it were a single bottleneck). This scenario does periodically happen, and people manage just fine since the closures are expected to be short-lived.

So I don't buy the argument that Canada needs the US because of the threat of transit networks being completely cut off. I am much more amiable to the argument that reciprocal road tolls like this would be stupid because they'd increase the cost of goods for all of us (Canadians and Americans alike). As noted earlier, the fastest route between East and West is through the US due to geography. But or course things like this are stupid, and I doubt an argument as to why is required here. Maybe we should pull back and stop doing all this nonsense like arbitrary tariffs on close allied nations? Especially those who's explicit purpose as described by the elected head of state is to threaten the sovereignty of the other?

According to the Democracy Index (article about it here: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/democracy-index-dat...) there are about 25 "Full Democracies", 107 Non-authoritarian regimes, and 60 authoritarian regimes.

Fun fact: The US isn't counted as a "Full Democracy" by that index, so seems it's not as a great of an achievement as you seem to think. I'm looking forward to see how the ranking of the US changes in 2025, seems to be slipping downwards rather than upwards sadly.

You're the one who is confused. I know you're "america first", that was obvious.

You specifically said something which is false: "literally nobody has a problem with immigrants using legal methods".

This is false because your own statements in these very comments are continuing to demonstrate that you, personally, have a problem with immigrants using legal methods.

Why would you absolve POTUS when it's clear his administration's policies created the environment that enables CBP officers to take this liberty?

Additionally, the CBP spokesperson[1] defended the action, and despite reporters asking questions, the administration has done nothing to walk back the action or apologize. All signs point to the administration being very okay with stuff like this happening.

[1]: This might not be widely known, but one of the first actions that happens on inauguration day is the replacement of US government agency spokespersons with new political appointees. One of the powers of the executive branch is the bully pulpit and smart administrations seek to use it from day one.
One very important quote from the official announcement:

> For the first time, developers can “instruct” the model not just on what to say but how to say it—enabling more customized experiences for use cases ranging from customer service to creative storytelling.

The instructions are the "vibes" in this UI. But the announcement is wrong with the "for the first time" part: it was possible to steer the base GPT-4o model to create voices in a certain style using system prompt engineering (blogged about here: https://minimaxir.com/2024/10/speech-prompt-engineering/ ) out of concern that it could be used as a replacement for voice acting, however it was too expensive and adherence isn't great.

The schema of the vibes here implies that this new model is more receptive to nuance, which changes the calculus. The test cases from my post behave as expected, and the cost of gpt-4o-mini-tts audio output is $0.015 / minute (https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing ), which is about 1/20th of the cost of my initial experments and is now feasible to use to potentially replace common voice applications. This has implications, and I'll be testing more around more nuanced prompt engineering.
I hope you're right, but the thing I find most distressing about what's happening is how many people are in favor of it. Protests are for converting popular support into official actions. Trump won about half the votes. He didn't seize power in a coup or by holding the legislature at gunpoint. The people gave it to him. Some of those people may have changed their minds since then, but it doesn't seem like there are very many of them.

The real problem isn't Trump, it's the huge number of Americans who think what's happening is great. I don't know how you fix that.
The point seems to be making Social Security and other services painful to use, rather than eliminating them, which would take an act of congress.

The result is the de-facto crippling of the services and/or the privatization of them, per plan [0]. This is particularly harmful or fatal for the V.A., where lives could be lost through cutbacks in services. Loss of Social Security could be ruinous to many seniors.

Google search is crap. It seems to be a sentiment among many HNers, but is it really that bad? I mostly use it for programming, so documentation/forums and it works out greatly. For some queries it even returns personal blogs (which people seem to bash google for not happening). Of course there are some queries that return purely AI blogspam, but reformatting the query with a bit more thought usually solves it. I wonder if that is a US thing? Do search results differ greatly based on the region?
