> Why would I care if it's deemed left, center or right by some commitee.

>> Because at the day information can be political.

Umm. Yes. Which is precisely what placing it left / center / right amplifies.

> the information that's there in most sources

>> While I don't use ground news myself, aggregators and classifiers like them can show you when and where stories are being published in very lopsided manners. When a story is only really being published by one side you can use that as another bit of information.

Sure, it's another bit of information. I think more important are the facts. Did this actually happen? If so, what happened? The tl;dr of what happened should give me a pretty good idea, without having to become a reporter myself, especially if covered by both sides.

I think this is more of an issue of an union, than the 'argument to moderation' or 'false balance' might appeal to. If I'm left, and report or something and you don't. That's probably high noise. If you're right and report to something I don't. That's probably high noise. If we both report on something, and we report differently on 80% but we have the same 20%. I'd say that 20% is high signal.

What if we cut out the left / center / right ideas and just take as many sources as we can? Then extract what's common between them. Wouldn't that have some sort of higher signal to noise ratio than any single viewpoint?

Of course, I'm willing to accept I'm wrong. From my personal experience so far, I'm much less inclined to extremes than I was since starting to use this system.
I used to do that except it was to play Runescape lol. The local library got some really nice Pentium 4 computers too.
Baseball being the only 'pro' sport I'll go and watch...

I think it's an interesting mixup.

From a marketing standpoint;

- If certain batters have their 'ridge' in a specific spot/range, it adds marketability. e.x. 'This is the bat ????[0] uses'.

- OTOH the first danger with this is that most folks don't have the same stature/etc as the hitter in question, so it doesn't mean much.

- Lots of fan dollars to be made here though.

From a Game Standpoint:

- It vaguely detracts from accessibility; if this goes full, that means that 'pros' get a sort of custom bat that other leagues don't get, and from my view that impacts how folks are viewed.

- It's also a challenge of 'doing well with a good standard' vs 'doing well with a custom thing that happens to fit regs'. I suppose examples of other sports having similar (where a 'custom' item per player that fits regs, is legal for the sport and provides clear benefit) would make me feel a little better about this, maybe.

The Weird/offball:

- Saw a youtube video recently claiming some countries/municipalites have specific laws about not being allowed to carry a bat unless there was a glove and/or ball also involved in the process, would these also fall into it? (I said it was weird/offball, no I don't live in such a region [1], just morbid curiosity.)

[0] - It's been a minute since I've looked at Tigers stats who the hell are these folks and no wonder my family doesn't talk about baseball anymore

[1] - Per [0] I can at best tell funny stories about DPD and potato launchers I designed and had to explain to the police and non-authorized users and how same precinct gave specific advice as to "if we had to use a firearm in a home invasion, here is how we treat as self defense".
Sounds like more of an issue for the consumer than the retailer? Suppose the best coupon for a retailer is 20% off, and Honey shows that to its users. Retailers want to stem that loss, so they bribe/pay Honey, maybe 5%, to post a 10% coupon in its place. That way the store loses 15% rather than 20%. That might be bad for the consumer, if they thought they were guaranteed the "best" deal, but I'm not sure how the store has any standing to sue. If so, that would put forums like slickdeals at risk.
So this perspective boils down to "entrepreneurs are evil"? An interesting take to put on a site dedicated to funding entrepreneurs.
Do you actually agree with the fine?

Truthfully have been a little skeptical of how many workloads will actually need “agents” vs doing something totally deterministic with a little LLM augmentation. Seems like I’m not the only one that thinks the latter works a lot of the time!
A potential customer could leave the site, spend time searching for a coupon code, not find anything and give up, and then not return to the site to complete the purchase. Honey could keep users on the site moving through the order flow even if it didn't find anything.
France has, apparently, 290 deployed nukes, mostly on SLBMs. Probably enough to give Moscow _some_ pause.

>So a 10% hit to your income for at least 20 years isn't significant?

It's not a 10% hit to your income. It's 10% of your income over 1.5x the poverty limit. And it's capped at whatever the payments would be under a 10 year repayment plan.

And it's not at least 20 years, it's at most 20 years. If you make more $80k or so you'll pay less under the standard 10 year plan, so you'll pay that. Which for $40k in deb is something like $450 a month (about 6.75% of your income).

>So... your suggestion is to live just above poverty so you won't have to pay student loans?

That's clearly what I said...of course it's not. The point is that worst case scenario you make under 1.5x the poverty limit you make nothing. If you make a little more than that you pay a 10% tax on the money over that (up to about $60k then it goes down).

>Sure, there exists ways to go about getting a degree which doesn't _have_ to have a massive financial burden for decades, but what percentage of degree holders (Or, those who have student loans) took this path? Is this a pragmatically fair expectation for 17/18 year olds to make?

In 2020 around 6% of students took out private student loans. And private student loans represent only around 7% of all student loan debt, so most of them don't have a massive financial burden because they qualify for income based repayment.

>How do you resolve the "while the total average balance (including private loan debt) may be as high as $41,618"[0]

The vast majority of that is federal, which qualifies for IBR, so isn't a massive burden. Don't take out private loans unless you're going to an Ivy League school, or med school.
NGL that sounds like a fun concept...

Sidekick: In-Network Assistance for Secure End-to-End Transport Protocols
Yes, this is a central issue in sync. For most applications, sync engines just aren't useful without some solution. Of course you need to validate inputs, support fine-grained permissions, etc., as developers have done with web apps for eons.

In Replicache, we addressed this by making your application server responsible for writes:

https://doc.replicache.dev/concepts/how-it-works

By doing this, your server can implement any validation it wants. It can also interact with external systems, do notifications, etc. Anything you can do with a traditional API.

In our new sync engine, Zero (https://zerosync.dev), we're adding this same ability soon (like this week) under the name custom mutators:

https://bugs.rocicorp.dev/issue/3045

This has been a hard project, but is really critical to use sync engines for anything serious.
all state is immutable :) a change creates new state - which is immutable
It sounds like you agree with me that the posted tool would not be legal to use in Germany then? Or am I misreading this comment?

Your initial „name one“ comment sounded like you didn’t believe there would be a jurisdiction where it is illegal.
...and more importantly, could we then leverage LLMs to fill in the blanks of ancient history?
Given that the original exposé was meant to be a three-part series, I'm almost certain this is not all that Honey does.

The remaining parts have never been released. In January, MegaLag tweeted to explain what's been going on: https://x.com/MegaLagOfficial/status/1884576211554201671
Oh I see. I guess it depends on how big one chunk is then. I'd still vote for paid training if you get big chunks. If only smaller chunks are available, hmmm, it's difficult to say. Maybe prepare for a certificate?
AttentionRAG: Attention-Guided Context Pruning in Retrieval-Augmented Generation
One thing I am having a hard time wrap my head around is that in its current form AI might not replace developers or say sales callers completely but what about 3-4 years from now? Does AI continue to get exponentially better or will we hit some kind of tech ceiling due to inherent limitations of LLMs?
:) no its not.

The US Supreme Court and Congress decided to allow Donald Trump to run in 2024, choosing not to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against him. As you can see today, this resulted in Donald Trump not being empowered.

So something that I wrote about in a recent blog post[1], we don't increase the amount of TIME in deep sleep. We increase the restorative function (synchronous firing of neurons) without altering sleep time.

Boy do I have news for you
Apple's health app is extremely careful not to say what is 'good' or 'bad' about the metrics it monitors, I find. The sleep tracking really just gives you a breakdown of sleep stages and length of sleep, rather than a sleep score that the o ther apps give you. I believe that is what Karpathy is comparing, not the telemetry itself, rather the measured sleep quality mapped to his perceived sleep quality, which Apple doesn't really give you.
I'm highly confident we never reach 10 billion. There's a somewhat (small, but realistic) chance we never reach 9 billion. This is even without anything quite so dramatic as a dinosaur-killer meteor. And it's not even slightly good.
I'm curious about answer to this too. I don't use it, but offhand mentioned it to my dad and it took him 30min of scouring before he purchased a subscription. (to my big surprise)

I hope it's just an "good" product that will (like every SaaS) be plagued by enshittification 5 years down the line.

Either case, it's hopefully a silver lining to my dads "don't trust MSM" tendencies. (fortunately he's too academic to go full conspiracy crazy but you never know)
The catch is that the premise of the service is faulty.

Their segmentation of news organizations according to bias, can be obviously be biased itself. That's not a problem necessarily, but the service promotes itself as neutral while it's VC funded. You are part of a demographic that will be propagandized in the future to recoup costs.

I mean, realistically, it took about 16 years for Twitter to become unbearable, and that was due to a particularly incompetent billionaire driving it into the ground. If Bluesky lasts 16 years, I’ll take that, and then move onto the next thing.

Yes, which is why I believe the entire effort to be pretty silly.
Thats just a distinction between the Observable Universe and the Universe. The observable universe should be labeled "Our" Observable Universe as what is observable depends on where you are. Imagine a sphere growing outward at the speed of light, this is what is observable this region is aka the Hubble Volume. Right beyond the edge there just hasn't been enough time for the light to reach our location. No woowoo required.

There are ongoing debates whether the actual Entire Universe is infinite or not.
I had a look, and it seemed to be just their content? I thought the GP meant an app with a range of content.
You can test it on Debian experimental, or use a Debian container:

$ podman run debian:experimental /bin/bash -c 'apt install --update -t experimental -y curl && curl --version'

I think you misunderstand the feature.

Ground news tells you the bias of publications that have published the news item not the slant of the news item itself. It lets you see how much news gets completely ignored by the right and left (the right is way worse) when it isn't favorable to their cause. It's also really interesting to sample both sides and see how wildly the facts get slanted as you get further from center.

The publishers are biased, not the news item.
We don't use fabric electrodes, we've developed our own conductive silicone. The other thing to learn from Muse S is that mastoid (over ear) electrodes are nearly impossible. We have comb electrodes similar to dreem.

Though, I don't think corrosion is the issue with Muse S, the electrodes tear as I understand it. Either way, they are not robust enough.
Let's be real, LTT didn't want to bite the hand that feeds him. What future sponsor would sign up if they knew LTT might make an expose about them in future for clicks.

Even something basic like exposing how much these sponsors pay out in commission instead of towards the quality of their products would be hugely negative publicity.
Why is it a bad thing if they now like each other better (not sure if there is real evidence for it but assume it is true for argument's sake)? If American policy is what keeps them apart, which I strongly doubt, then it is a good thing that we butt out and let them integrate as much as they want.
If I ask you general trivia spanning the world's knowledge and history, I guarantee an LLM will beat you. You can test it yourself.
This is exactly the dumb question I came here to ask. So now I wait with you for a less dumb person to reply.

What's wrong with VPNs? Seems like the tamest thing to sell in terms of ethical impact. any security middleman can be skewed negatively if you phrase it as "they get to peek at everything". That's what a security app needs to properly protect you, and why these apps live and die on credibility (see: Crowdstrike).

Fortunately none of the youtubers I watched ever went full dark horse and pawned off gambling and scams, though. Closest to a scam was probably those "become a lord" sites that let you "buy a small plot of land in Ireland" or something and a tree gets planted. When the reality is you don't actually own the land through technicalities and it's questionable if the tree is even planted.

We'll be competitive to the high end of other wearable devices (think Oura/Whoop). We aim to make the starting price affordable by offering a subscription plan, though we are also considering a "full fare" for people who hate subscriptions, but that would be considerably more up front.
Another comment mentions MinecraftForFree.com...

In middle school, in an attempt to get around the school firewall, I copied the HTML code from that website to my own to play Minecraft at school. Since my domain wasn't on the blocklist, it worked! But when my friends started using it to play, even after they hadn't bought the game, I resolved to add a login wall.

I built a backend proxy in PHP that would POST their credentials to the Minecraft API to make sure they had purchased the game. I still think it's funny to think I had no ethical qualms about circumventing the school firewall, but piracy was where I drew the line.
Seems like it’s roughly what it is about. Apple has a mandatory consent, but won’t adapt it so that third party apps can integrate their own tracking consent into it. As a result third party apps are treated differently than first party because they have one fewer consent screen. That advantages entrenched incumbents with big, locked-in user bases and disadvantages new entrants. Since Apple owns the platform, it’s anticompetitive to pass regulations (which is what Apple is doing here) that discriminate against other participants in a way that acts as a competitive advantage.
Aider is worth a look.

The current rate limits for Gemini 2.5 Pro make it hard to run something like Claude Code with it, since that tool is very API chatty.
Shops could also pay Honey to use a lower % off code instead of them finding ones and giving that, so maybe there's a 10% code out there but Honey only gives users a 2% one because they got paid by the shop, and tells the user they tried their best. It's a scam in all directions.
Id hope they will also start to target machines with 128gb of unified ram now that we seem to have at least 3 options on that front.
Let’s also not forget that a pitch machine will deliver consistent throws where a player won’t. It’s 10x harder to hit a real moving 90mph fastball than a straight dinner plate, if you can even manage the plate.

The bat will add probably 0.2-0.5% longer bombs statistically but it’s still a skill of the player at bat that makes the difference.
nooooo! use AI and make native swift and native kotlin. The mobile experience will be 100x better. And for a social media app it's ALL about mobile.

I'm curious if the register you see near the microcode ROM is potentially hooked up to MSRs -- it could potentially be a read or write buffer.

Did you paste it into the chat or did you use it with a coding agent like Cline?

I am majorly impressed with the combination VSCode + Cline + Gemini

Today I had it duplicate an esp32 proram from UDP communication to TCP.

It first copied the file ( funnily enough by writing it again instead of just straight cp )
Then it started to just change all the headers and declarations
Then in a third step it changed one bigger function
And in the last step it changed some smaller functions

And it reasoned exactly that way "Let's start with this first ... Let's now do this .... " until is was done
A significant number of users will spend more if they think they're getting a deal. Without a deal, even a fake one, users will go somewhere else or spend less. Or, if they think they're saving 15% on one thing, they'll justify spending 40% more, to get more out of that 15% discount.

This is what happened when Ron Johnson tried to rebrand JC Penny. JC Penny customers were used to "deals" through coupons. He changed the pricing so the prices were lower, across everything, all the time. The classic JC Penny customer hated this. They ultimately pay the same amount, it would be less work for them, but it wasn't a "deal".

Amazon plays on this too with the crossed out inflated "typical price", and then showing the actual price you'll pay. No one ever pays that crossed out price; it can say anything, but lets them put "-40%" so people get excited and buy.

It's all very manipulative. Honey was just another form of the same concept.
Managed hosting will secure the server, but you are still responsible for securing anything public-facing that you put on that server.

If your application stack is compromised, and used to host phishing sites, the hosting provider should send you related abuse complaints and work with you to secure it.

Now, this is just a theory on my part, based only on what you've said, but is there any chance that your (probably hacked) server was used to spear-phish the hosting company itself? If so, it could explain their reaction.
Spring training at bats aren’t equivalent—hitters and pitchers aren’t approaching an at bat as they do in the regular season. But it’s no matter as we’re going to need to see a lot more plate appearances before the stats would be reliable indicators. Fangraphs[0] has a good guide to sample size. Slugging, for example, isn’t stable until 320 at bats. We’ll check back in mid July or so.

Also, we haven’t given pitchers a chance to adapt. Perhaps pitching outside (now a thinner part of the bat) will take the force out of the hit leading to softer contact.

Most people use Cursor. Aider and Cline are other options. All of these work with all of the popular LLM APIs. Even among people using Claude, I would bet more of them are using Claude through Cursor than through Claude code.
I think I understand this feature pretty well. What I'm arguing for is taking the common information between all news sources (without having to place them in left / right / center) is much higher signal to noise.

Honestly your paranthesis that "the right is way worse" is already too political for my taste. It makes me feel dumb for even writing this reply. Alas, these are my thoughts. News should be news. What happened and when. Not some attack vector against a group of people or another.
I'm sorry to tell you this but an eight year old isn't reading the bible because they had a philosophical meaning crisis and their journey into secular philosophy was unsatisfying, they read the bible because the minecraft influencer told them so, because they would do literally anything the influencer told them, hence the name, and probably why you should keep eight year olds away from them.
