That's a useful strawman for this issue, but you know as well as I do that none of those bogeymans were anywhere near as transformative as the smartphone. They were not networked, they were static, and they had limits (eg. TVs limited programming). They are incomparable to a never-ending firehose of stimulus, algorithmically engineered to be appealing to your personality and optimised for "engagement" (read: more screen time).
Love the movie, as cheesy as it might be, it is one of the most entertaining ones in whatever hacking happens to be as seen by Hollywood.
> then why bother taking away the coping mechanisms people have available?

Firstly, I use TikTok myself so this isn't coming from a place of "old man yells at clouds", but why does it have to be smartphones and addictive algorithms? There's a practically unlimited number of ways to cope, they can daydream about their interests, draw and sketch things, read, interact with others, at least that's what we used to do, but just about anything that doesn't involve algorithmic content is practically harmless in comparison.

When overused, streams of dopamine such as TikTok can completely drain your desire to do anything creative, productive, to learn things, to experiment, to be curious, to do anything that delivers less than immediate, consistent reward (even video games can be low-reward in comparison).

I've been on both sides of this. I've gone years without engaging with these algorithms at all while harnessing my creative energy, and I've gotten stuck in the depths of these algorithms for weeks at a time.

It's questionable whether they're going to be able to get out of it, much like kids who start doing drugs in their tween years. It may be a coping mechanism, but in kids and teenagers it's probably about as healthy as daily cannabis consumption.

You might enjoy https://easterneuropeanmovies.com/, https://sovietmoviesonline.com/ or https://asian-movies-online.com/. They have both movies that are popular hits and that have been important to the craft and history of the art. Subtitles are usually from open sub-style sources so not professional quality, but I find it sometimes help with learning the language when it's more literally translated than idiomatically.
I'm going to make a guess.

I suspect the question is, will the translation to English convey the regional dialectal nuances of the original Swedish?

Decades ago I read one of Douglas Hofstadter's writings about Gorbachev's accent. (As least, I think it was Hofstader. He wrote a lot about issues of what it means to translate.)

Gorbachev had a distinct southern Russian accent, which affected how Russians viewed him.

"Gorbachev’s southern speech is held against him." - https://time.com/archive/6732598/mikhail-gorbachev-3/

More strongly, one Redditor writes "Gorbachev couldn't fucking pronounce Azerbaijan for a living, he sounded like a self-important moralistic buffoon." - https://www.reddit.com/r/AskARussian/comments/tw3zlm/what_do...

However, Americans mostly heard Gorbachev through translation.

Should the translator use General American English? Or use a US Southern accent? Perhaps a Foghorn Leghorn accent?

When you watch a Russian movie in English, do you expect English with a Russian accent (often fake), like in The Hunt For Red October? Or do you expect to hear people talking with strong regional US accents, so characters from Saint Petersburg might have, I dunno, a Chicago accent?

We see this in Peter Jackson's movie interpretation of "The Lord of the Rings", where the actors used regional English accents to portray the social and economic standing of characters who spoke Westron.

Based on what I read about this AI-assisted translation, they are using the original actors but speaking English, which means the dialectal nuances will not be interpretable by non-Swedish viewers.
People are trying to use gen AI in more and more use-cases, it used to fall flat on its face at trivial stuff, now it got past trivial stuff but still scratching the boundaries of being useful. And that is not an attempt to make the gen AI tech look bad, it is really amazing what it can do - but it is far from delivering on hype - and that is why people are providing critical evaluations.

Lets not forget the OpenAI benchmarks saying 4.0 can do better at college exams and such than most students. Yet real world performance was laughable on real tasks.

Show HN: AI-Powered Document Parsing for SMEs
I made a tool called Parsie because I was tired of manually copying and pasting data from PDFs, invoices, and emails into spreadsheets. Running a small business means dealing with tons of vendor documents, and I just wanted an easy way to extract the important details without setting up complicated rules or templates.

Parsie is an AI-powered document parser that pulls structured data from files. No coding, no complex setup—just upload a document (and optionally describe what you need). It will integrate with Zapier, so you can automate workflows with thousands of other apps. Google Workspace integration is also coming soon!

I built this for small businesses and teams that don’t have time to deal with messy documents. Would love to hear what you think—feedback, feature requests, or just a “this sucks” is all welcome!

Try it out at parsie.pro (there’s a free trial). Happy to answer any questions!

Absolutely not going to happen with the opposition party existing simply to supply Israel with more weapons. Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking opposition leader, the other day openly stated "My job is to make sure the left supports Israel".

Why would that level of anti-democratic corruption have any interest in justice, when the very core of that party is based on maintaining racist injustice around the world?

The only thing we can hope for is that our system collapses and our economy weakens, while foreign economies grow.
Russian business is very complex. Just consider that due to sanctions many companies needed to quickly learn how to operate with cryptocurrencies, find new trade partners etc.

Or like building companies switched to Russian military contracts to build factories for drone, ammunition etc. to make weapons to kill Ukrainians.

If one has no moral compass, one can absolutely flourish as a businessman in Russia.

How do you explain syntactic islands, binding rules or any number of arcane linguistic rules that humans universally follow? Children can generalise outside of their training set in a way that LLMs simply cannot (e.g. Nicaraguan sign language or creolization)
The grass isn't always greener. I think the core underlying issue at all of this is social divides within countries. When groups of people become sufficiently antagonistic towards one another, it really enables widespread corruption because people will actively blind themselves (or handwave away) to the wrongs of "their side" and magnify the wrongs of "the other side" with no limits to the hyperbole.

And Europe is most certainly not an exception to this, especially in current times. For instance 65% of EU citizens do not believe that high level corruption is sufficiently pursued. [1] And basically every EU country (outside of Scandiland) has a majority to vast majority who believe that corruption is widespread in their country.

I find it incredibly amusing to see people in my generation complain about things like slang from the generation after us when it wasn't barely over a decade ago when I was having to answer to my uncle jokingly demanding to know why my generation was (according to an article he read) responsible for the demise of the can opener as a household applicance. In retrospect, maybe being out of touch with whatever people my age thought was cool as a kid was really good practice for me now that we're _all_ old and out of touch!
> Attention, lack of scruples and charisma, are prerequisites for ALL politicians.

Sure, to some extent. Trump is an extreme outlier though, at least on the first two. And my main point was mainly that he doesn’t have anything else.

Again, to some degree. Obama and Clinton especially were also shrewd politicians and had skills and strengths in addition to the attributes mentioned above.

The tool name is not relevant. It isn't the actual name, they use an obfuscated name. The fact that the model believes it is a tool is good evidence at first glance that it is a tool, because the tool calls are typically IN THE PROMPT.

You can literally look at the JavaScript on the web page to see this. You've overcorrected so far in the wrong direction that you think anything the model says must be false, rather than imagining a distribution and updating or seeking more evidence accordingly
It's an interesting question. If I were to speculate, I think the difference is the sheer volume of choices available now.

When I was a kid, the choices were very limited. There were only 3 TV networks, and TV shows were on a fixed schedule, so you couldn't watch whatever you liked whenever you liked. Often, there was absolutely nothing good on. Moreover, watching a TV show required at least some degree of attention span: 30 or 60 minutes on one TV show. You couldn't scroll through an endless stream of 30 or 60 second videos.

As for video games, we couldn't download them from the internet. We had a very limited number of physical game cartridges. So yes, you could spend hours playing a video game, but that again required a level of focus and attention, and you were stuck with the few games you had at home.

Given the limited number of choices available to kids at the time, it was much easier to get bored with those choices, as the article mentions: "the kids have no ability to be bored whatsoever".
To what end? To gain a casus belli for a terminal crackdown on the "woke" press?

For the non-native ESL speakers like me, a 'stoop' is apparently the steps or porch leading up to a building entrance. The lack of an actual stoop further added to my initial confusion with this new word.

Show HN: JetScript – A poetic scripting language for MVPs (built in 14 hours)
Hey HN

I built JetScript, a new minimal scripting language for building MVPs and web UIs – in just 14 hours.

It focuses on:

- Poetic, JSX-free syntax (inspired by natural language)
- No build, no config, just `jets run app.jet`
- State, UI, and routing — all in one expressive DSL
- A philosophy: write fast, burn faster (built for hackathons & idea iteration)

Here’s an example:

route "/" =>
state count = 0
view:
h1 "Count: #{count}"
button { onclick: inc(count) } "＋"

JetScript isn’t meant to scale. It’s meant to create — quickly.

Sure we can solve problems. In fact, the only problem - underfunded military. We already started across most Europe, to the tune of half a trillion of additional spending just now. Most of that money will come back to our economies, so expect EURO value to rise. Since russia has 0 motivation to stop its war and its goals are pretty clear, this will also increase in near future. It won't be immediate since we foolishly planned long term for peace, but give it a decade and ie Wehrmacht will be in completely different shape than now.

Also, its not just US throwing money into black pit of Europe - the money came back with interest in form of global power projection with additional half a billion people standing by you even in your most fucked up invasions like Iraq, thats over for good. We mistakenly bought tons of military hardware from US to the tune of hundreds of billions USD - thats over now too, and it doesn't matter who will be the next guy, the trust is broken for good (for what - some additional negotiation pressure on Ukraine to force them into some minerals deal? Bravo, this is how things are when you give too much power to a bipolar narcissistic person).

I am not holding my breath that US will fix half of the issues I've mentioned, although they are pressing issues now.

Also, every time I mention healthcare costs in US somebody comes and tells how its almost a fixed issue already. then I read how people give 20k or 40k for a birth, how open heart surgery costed them 60k on top of insurance, how some long term medicine is crushingly expensive. Compare it to here - 0, our 2 childbirths, wife was twice off work for 6 months, full salary kept coming. Even in most capitalistic country in Europe - Switzerland. Also I've had paragliding accident last year with both legs broken, been off work, on wheelchair, tons of MRIs, physiotherapies and so on. Cost - 0, also salary fully compensated by mandatory employer's insurance.

Where jdv comes from and his background is irrelevant, he is ass licking amoral pos and showed it to whole world live numerous times. If he represents half of US population, well then the division is just naturally following discord between our continents, cultures and philosophies.

You can see a lot of open mouth/tongue stuff being skipped. Dealing with the tongue and the inside of the mouth is a huge problem with this sort of visual dubbing. Using traditional techniques, you can model teeth and gums as rigid bodies, and faces as rubber sheets (to first approximation), but tongues, for which you typically have no visual reference in any given shot, are much more difficult to model, and continuously, subtly, on the move. "AI" is the general answer to this problem nowadays, but even ML-based systems struggle to deal with the tongue issue while trying to reconcile visual appearance with animation fidelity.

I believe we should have microtransactions to access resources. Pay a server a tiny amount and it'll return the content. This way if crawlers dominate traffic it just means they're paying a bunch for it

What do you make of the charts that show a marked increase is "Difficulty thinking or concentrating" and "Trouble learning new things"?
There's a spectrum of density, and perhaps the sweet spot for front-porch interactions is somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. I live in a neighborhood with ample front porches and sidewalks -- and I've heard it referred to both as a suburb (by dense city dwellers) and "the city" (by people who live further out from the dense urban core). But it's easy to imagine both a dense city neighborhood and a semi-rural far-flung suburb with no front porches and no culture of interacting with neighbors.

Even the definition of "outside the urban core" is hard to pin down; I'm pretty sure you could get disagreement on whether where I live is within the urban core or not.

Very nice! I also recommend the CS885 course from university of Waterloo which is all on YouTube. It covers Bayesian reinforcement learning which is missing from most courses (including this one).
One test I always do is ask for an absolutely minimal language interpreter with TCO.

This is part of the code output (after several interactions of it not returning actual code):

// Tail Call Optimization (very basic)
if(func->type == VAL_FUNCTION){
return apply(func, args, env); //no stack growth.
}
else{
return apply(func, args, env);
}

I'm not very impressed.

I pointed out that part of the code, and answered:

You've correctly pointed out that the TCO implementation in the provided C code snippet is essentially a no-op. The if and else blocks do the same thing: they both call apply(func, args, env). This means there's no actual tail call optimization happening; it's just a regular function call.

But then follows with even worst code. It does not even compile!
This is overly cynical. Models typically do know what tools they have access to because the tool descriptions are in the prompt. Asking a model which tools it has is a perfectly reasonable way of learning what is effectively the content of the prompt.

Of course the model may hallucinate, but in this case it takes a few clicks in the dev tools to verify that this is not the case.

How can you label as pointlessly negative something that, in your own words, is statistically real?

Reality is what removes the bias more than anecdote, and statistics is what tracks these facts.
