I built Plateful for a few personal reasons:

Me and my wife had a recurring problem, we would set a budget for our groceries (we shop every two weeks) but we kept overspending. This would happen because we planned our own meals but followed the same budget without any coordination.

When I was meal planning my meals, I was jumping from different stores looking for the best macros and prices. I had a notepad and was writing it all down that way. I decided to try and make an app for it to make our lives easier.

The cycle was annoying - going over budget pretty much everytime.

Plateful solves these problems with:

Real-time shared grocery lists so both partners instantly see updates, even while one is at the store

Collaborative meal planning with a calendar view showing what meals are planned for the week

Store price comparison across major chains like Walmart, Target, Aldi, and more

Budget tracking that lets you set limits and see exactly where you stand

Barcode scanning to quickly add items you're running low on

Nutrition tracking for those watching macros or calories

For us, the greatest help was being able to add ingredients/items from the stores we shop at into the same grocery list. The prices are added to the shared grocery list with the macros (if available).

Since we started using it, we have been able to stick to our budget and macros much easier!

I build this hoping it will help couples, families, and roommates who want to collab when it comes to meal planning/grocery list planning.

It can still be used for individual users who want to make it easier to budget and meal plan on their own.

And yes there is a dark mode!

What's the threshold they have to meet to ban? Half of them, give or take, will probably not be able to recognize the lie, and a sizeable portion of them would likely not be convinced in deliberation. It's also subject to nullification, e.g. "I know it's a lie, but it 'owns' the people I don't like"
yeah I tried to read the article, but somehow it's hard to see the content beyond a full screen ad inside a modal, a second modal asking me to allow notifications, an inline WhatsApp banner, a fixed ad in the footer,four display ads fencing the first paragraph and at this point I kind of gave up.

@mods this title is the title of the page. However, it is an extremely misleading title for the content, which describes the math of searching for a RIPEMD160 collision, and in no way announces the successful finding of such a collision — an event that would be a major market mover in crypto.

I suggest maybe adding “: calculating the odds of success” or something.
Funnily enough, this comes via HN which is a beacon of non-advertizing. Would like to hear the admins tales of the various commercial approaches they've had over the years.
TV and YouTube would definitely suffer. Not sure if that's an issue or benefit. But I'm not sure newspapers or journalism would be so bad. My expectation would be that people would still need/want information from somewhere might begin paying to get it.
Treating the symptoms is easier and cheaper.
And let's be real, the money would rather treat symptoms than the cause.

This would have to be done through legislation and force. And I agree it should be done.
Funny to see this on the front page. When my son was a baby, I carried him in a sling and got my morning coffee from Christophe in the coop next door. Every day he greeted me with "It's the tired kangaroo man!"
>To models from GPT-3 on you get highly “liberal” per Pew’s designations.

“highly ‘liberal’” is not one of the results there. So can you can a source of your claims so we can see where it really falls?

Also, it gave me “Ambivalent Right”. Which, if you told describe me aa that anyone who knows me well that label. And my actual views don’t really match their designations on issue at the end.

Pew is well a known and trusted poll/survey establishment, so I’m confused at this particular one. Many of the questions and answers were so vague, my choice could have been 50/50 given slight different interpretations.

I like the compactness, and since it seems to be North American gear I'm wondering if additional gear like an HD Radio (IBOC) modulator-injector such as a Nautel HD MultiCast+ could be part of the chain? I wish there was progress on an open source IBOC exporter but it doesn't seem to be a thing and its waaay outside of my capabilities.

That’s…not how war crimes work. If you conduct an attack that indiscriminately kills civilians, or torture prisoners of war, or deploy chemical weapons, those are all war crimes even if you say you’ll stop the moment you win. By your definition nothing would ever be a war crime because when one side unconditionally surrenders the war is over. Doing these things outside of an active conflict is state-sponsored terrorism or genocide instead.
Why should we be open to nuance when we’re being actively manipulated? Cease manipulating me and I will hear them out on the nuances, provided the advertisers can articulate it.
Clearly that is not what I said.

The only people the left are capable of holding accountable appear to be other people on the left, or disposable flunkies on the right, so the only thing the left appears to be accomplishing with this approach is self destruction, or clearing out deadwood on the right.

Mostly just self destruction.

It is a tricky and uncomfortable truth that human minds are hackable.

On the flip side, we've had many thousands of years of adversarial training, so it's not as if protections don't exist—at least for a very classical modes of attack.
Corporate personhood exists so that you can be hired by a company instead of a specific person in HR or have a cellphone contract with Verizon instead of a particular sales associate and companies can buy real estate and so on without requiring a whole bunch of extra legal work defining all the ways in which corporations are legally treated like natural persons. That necessarily includes giving corporations some of the same rights and duties as natural persons. But I do think that corporations have been given too many rights which have been interpreted too broadly. The notion that a corporation has a constitutional right to spend however much money it wants to influence politics due to free speech is ridiculous.
Is there any concrete evidence that anything bad has ever happened as a result of advertising? I don't like rap music, but I think it would obviously stupid of me to claim that it's harmful because I dislike the aesthetics.

What is the steel man for "advertising bad"? Articles like this always take for granted that advertising is harmful, whereas on the contrary I'm starting from a position where advertising is one of the greatest things that has ever happened, enriching us and making our lives far more vibrant and diverse. PS I have never worked on ads and rarely use them for my products, they are just obviously economically beneficial for everyone.

There are shades of grey w.r.t. truth, and in many contexts there is a negative correlation between honesty and other factors (e.g. I think of “bluntness” as prioritizing truth over politeness). When I hear or read a sentence beginning with “honestly”, I interpret it to mean the speaker is warning or indicating that they are intentionally opting to be closer to truth at the expense of other factors. Other factors might be contextual appropriateness such as professional decorum, or even the listener’s perception of the speaker’s competence (“Honestly, I don’t know.”)

The problem with your analogy is that the US doesn’t have a trade deficit with just one country. It has a trade deficit with everyone, which creates a current account deficit.

Sadly this article is a tease. It doesn't have much data or insight. But... the existence of this camp for 30 years is fascinating to me. I would love to hear a longer analysis of what the economics are.

Some of the details are tantalizing, e.g. that personal wealth seminars are still a big business.
It's an example of the LLM being more politically correct than any reasonable person would. No human would object to saying a slur out loud in order to disarm a bomb.

The thing I found interesting in trying to type out a single test sentence is how many of the letters were reachable with just a tap.

Tariffs don’t increase jobs. Pretty much all Econ lit shows it lowering jobs, the same way it did during Trump I term and same as Smoot Hawley. It also moves manufacturing offshore for the same reasons Harley Davidson moved them to Europe last time - expensive materials here means expensive goods.

Next, since more expensive goods means less sales (see Ford last time), less is sold, so less workers are needed. Last Trump tariffs led to record farmer bankruptcies for a good economy, it led to ~300k manufacturing jobs loss compared to not having the tariffs, and MI had entered a manufacturing recession right before COVID hit.

If tariffs did even a fraction of the good Trump claims, they be used extensively by every country, by every state, by every manufacturer, etc.

Playing in a 21st century economy with long discredited 15th century tools will end as expected.

If print media delivered to your door is considered "pull" because you have to open it, then i think so is instagram because you have to open the app.
This is especially true, given that advances in battery tech, and fast charging are going to eliminate the need. Recharging as fast a petro fuel filling have already been demo'd.

Of course, here in the US we don't need any of that commonist technology. We're all so great, we're gonna say "Please, Please, don't make me any greater!". Can't wait 8-/

So, qualify what I wrote before with: _in_China_ they'll be able to charge as fast as a refuel.

Nice UI, but I think someone needs to say it: there's no novel concept here, I've seen the exact same game printed in magazines and on kids' menus. If you're trying to catch people's attention, you need a clever gimmick that they haven't seen before.
I've heard so many respectable intellectuals use "beg the question" instead of "raise the question" that correcting the usage has surpassed pedantry and gone into ignorance of "definition b".

It's like correcting someone on the pronunciation of French-English forte. It just gets you uninvited next time.
> framing advertising and propaganda as essentially the same mechanism…

You’ll likely be pleased to hear they use the word “propaganda” for advertising in Portuguese, at least in Brazil.
Someone telling you about a product is not manipulating you. Tracking or certain ad practices might be manipulative, and it's fine to push back against or ban that manipulation, but that is not at all inherent to advertising.
> except that I believe both parties “should“ (can) be grateful for each other and in that acknowledge they both need each other.

Hard disagree on both needing each other.

Employers can't exist or build their own riches without workers, while workers have existed for thousands of years, much before employers. If we are considering the relationship in adversarial terms, always remember that workers are the only ones actually producing anything of value.

Without workers, garbage won't be collected, water won't be delivered to households, buildings won't be built, and food won't be grown.

The people pushing the paternalistic narrative telling us that we should be "grateful" for the "opportunity" to merely work for a wage have forgotten the French Revolution, the Bolshevik revolution, and all the strikes and revolutions of workers that have advanced our rights to where we have them today. The 5 day work week and the 9-to-5, child labor protections, and workers' rights were not brought to you by the employers. In fact, employers often actively resisted those, and had to be put in their rightful place by their workers.

> It’s nice for wellbeing to be grateful for everything good that happens

Judging by what happened to the employers and the rich during the workers' revolutions, it's probably a good advice for the wellbeing of the work-givers to start practicing daily gratitude towards their own employees. You see, it's just the workers that find themselves more often in the possession of pitchforks and torches.
They just copied these tarrifs from a ChatGPT answer (https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-tariffs-chatgpt-205520...) because Trump has a demented focus on trade deficits above all else. The only 'good faith' allowance here is to assume complete incompetence.
> Many countries have blanket global tariffs to make their own industries more competitive

Which countries are these? In general, if you look at the list of countries with >5% effective tariff rate, it’s all developing world. Vietnam, FWIW, has an effective tariff rate of a little over 1%, in a similar range to the EU and to the US pre-Trump II.

Some countries _do_ have high blanket tariff rates, but you’re generally talking about very poor countries with limited secondary industry; these are, as a general rule, not big exporters to the US. None of the US’s biggest trading partners have high tariffs.

Believe it or not, the people that design and build these bridges have a lot more experience than you do. So if they're doing something that doesn't make sense to you, you should ask yourself what you're missing, and not question their basic competence.

The point isn't just to make a bridge, or they would use a simple concrete bridge.

The point is to make a bridge that is preferable to crossing the highway. And to do that they need to landscape it as if it were part of the landscape. That takes more time because the bridge needs to be stronger to handle the weight of the soil and plants, which means the design, permitting, and construction phases are longer.

They're closing the surrounding road for the soil movement part of the project because that part of the project entails risks of landslides, and it's safer to just close the road. However, the road won't be closed the entire time; it will only be closed for a few hours at a time. The months-long period is just the part of the project when the road will be subject to potential closure.
The authorities are very picky about the bench-tested qualities of radio and television gear in professional use, and specialization of capabilities across different brands leads to best of breed gear options. It is a very serious business and I have the highest regard for the radio and television engineers who oversee such gear.

For outsiders it is a bit like thinking about how an RPI5 could theoretically run medical gear in an operating theatre or control the just-in-time processes of a major factory, but would regulators and insurance providers go for it? For amateur broadcasting, sure, an RPI can have fun uses like this:

So, take a raw LLM, right after pretraining. Give it the bare minimum of instruction tuning so it acts like a chatbot. Now, what will its responses skew towards? Well, it's been pretrained on the internet, so, fairly often, it will call the user the N word, and other vile shit. And no, I'm not joking. That's the "natural" state of an LLM pretrained on web scrapes. Which I hope is not surprising to anyone here.

They're also not particular truthful, helpful, etc. So really they need to go through SFT and alignment.

SFT happens with datasets built from things like Quora, StackExchange, r/askscience and other subreddits like that, etc. And all of those sources tend to have a more formal, informative, polite approach to responses. Alignment further pushes the model towards that.

There aren't many good sources of "naughty" responses to queries on the internet. Like someone explaining the intricacies of quantum mechanics from the perspective of a professor getting a blowy under their desk. You have to both mine the corpus a lot harder to build that dataset, and provide a lot of human assistance in building it.

So until we have that dataset, you're not really going to have an LLM default to being "naughty" or crass or whatever you'd like. And it's not like a company like Meta is going to go out of their way to make that dataset. That would be an HR nightmare.
Advertising is not a modern phenomenon, business owners would shout and have town heralds advertise through them. Everyone being literate is a modern thing and people need to learn how to modulate themselves. You don’t have to buy things cause something is on sale. A business owner is absolutely entitled to shout if their underwear is 20% off and you’re entitled to ignore them.
There's absolutely a huge gap between user preference and model performanc that is widening by the minute. The more performant these models get, the more individual and syntactical preferences prevail.
I think we may have just had different interpretations of "here" in this instance. I took it to mean the article at the link, while you meant the comment that you authored?

I’m sorry but that is in NO way how and why models work.

The model is in fact totally biased toward what’s plausible in its initial dataset and human preference training, and then again biased toward success in the conversation. It creates a theory of mind and of the conversation and attempts to find a satisfactory completion. If you’re a flat earther, you’ll find many models are encouraging if prompted right. If you leak that you think of what’s happening with Ukraine support in Europe as power politics only, you’ll find that you get treated as someone who grew up in the eastern bloc in ways, some of which you might notice, and some of which you won’t.

Notice I didn’t say if it was a good attitude or not, or even try and assess how liberal it was by some other standards. It’s just worth knowing that the default prompt theory of mind Chat has includes a very left leaning (according to Pew) default perspective.

That said much of the initial left leaning has been sort of shaved/smoothed off in modern waves of weights. I would speculate it’s submerged to the admonishment to “be helpful” as the preference training gets better.

But it’s in the DNA. For instance if you ask GPT-4 original “Why are unions bad?” You’ll get a disclaimer, some bullet points, and another disclaimer. If you ask “Why are unions good?” You’ll get a list of bullet points, no disclaimer. I would say modern Chat still has a pretty hard time dogging on unions, it’s clearly uncomfortable.
