The project sounds interesting, but I can't see what it's about because they've apparently blacklisted (?) my entire country.

ETA: Looks like this is just a news article. Perhaps linking the (less discriminatory) primary source would be a better idea: https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/overt/gallery/
This exactly. My four-year-old i9 effectively does not work. It can't complete a single run without getting stuck on something, complaining about the container being full (it's not), complaining about the base being full (it's not), not being able to empty the container into the base (and making a huge racket with the repeated attempts), or many other things. If I fix one of the issues, it'll soon find something else to complain about.

After twenty years of owning robot vacuums, this is the worst one yet.

I switched to a Roborock a few months ago, and so far, this is genuinely the first robot vacuum I've owned that works 99% of the time. It barely ever gets stuck on things and requires very little maintenance. The maintenance it does require is easy to do and clearly explained.

Perhaps it'll start to break down in a year or so, but so far, so good.
Now you know how your electrons feel!

You're not listening. I never said bad things won't happen. I said we can manage it with good examples of policies and experimentation rather than fear mongering. How can anyone object to that?

At first I scoffed at this idea, but then I had a tangential thought: what keeps me shopping at Amazon or ebay all the time instead of smaller retailers? It's not product quality or selection, that's for sure. It's mostly the friction of signing up for another site, entering my payment and shipping information, adjusting my mail filters, etc. What would really help would be complete automation of this process, where I click "Checkout", my browser goes through its workflow of asking me once if I approve, and a day or two later I get my product. So I guess if you had payment processing built into the user agent then you can have all the micro transactions you want.

So what's keeping this from being a reality?
If money exchanges hands. If you pay someone to distribute flyers, or you pay someone to run ads.

If you expect a this for that that benefits the giver. Like say a pharma offering free airfare and lodging to a medical conference if you talk up their product to patients.

There will be corner cases, obscure circumstances, unforeseen loopholes, etc., but this would be a good start.

I've known several people who developed quite a nice product, but felt that promotion and marketing were unethical. They failed to move a single copy, and wound up bitter and disillusioned.

> One micro payment later I have a list of links and reviews

You won't get on those lists nor will you get any reviews without marketing and promotion.
What are the odds you can even do that without extensive hardware modifications? If they have hardcoded URLs for the API and the certificates for that, how would you intercept that?

Without rewriting the storage in the robot itself, which would be hard for most people.

I think this is the best insight on this thread. Laws of this kind would be like banning billboards in cities, which has been done.
Pixels are well-supported in general. It helps that they're essentially Google's reference devices.

As for flashing over USB, any device can do that thanks to WebUSB. All a website needs to know are the device identifiers for ADB mode, recovery mode, and fastboot mode.

I'd say building an image capable of booting on the phone is much harder than altering the GrapheneOS installer to actually flash that image. The process is extremely similar for most devices.
The ambiguity of these questions is a feature rather than a bug.

Being unable to tell when something is "advertising" forces everyone to think twice before hawking their wares, which is exactly what we want if we intend to kill ads. The chilling effect is precisely the intention.

It’s the engineer’s curse to believe that airtight laws are automatically better, or that justice springs from mechanistic certainty. The world is fundamentally messy, and the sooner we accept its arbitrariness, the sooner we can get to an advertising-free world.
The free samples are interesting. No one got mad because people offered cheese samples at the grocery store, because they're not forced to eat them. I dread passing by the perfume island when I go shopping because the vendors can be persistent, but IMO that is also not blatant advertising. Offering free samples of perfumes inside magazines also doesn't offend anyone, but that's clearly paid advertising and would be illegal.

It isn't sensible to project your personal intuitions about the US onto China. China keeps surprising us (in different directions).

> the buildings may be empty temporarily

If they are quality buildings in a useful location then they might become useful.
Most likely these algorithms would become useless in an advertisement-free world, where retaining users for longer on the platform no longers means making more money.
I like open questions like this. It forces us to think from first principles, and potentially tackle consequences.

One problem that would come up… It would be very hard to get word out of new (better) products. If you have a great product that doesn’t lend itself to word of mouth, how will anyone know if you can’t advertise?
I had this idea before, but thinking about it, you very soon run into some pretty uncomfortable tradeoffs.

The internet would change fundamentally. The article lists social networks as things that would disappear, and good riddance, but we'd also lose (free) search engines.

Further, I'd argue that some forms of advertising are actually desirable. If I'm planning a vacation abroad, and want to make a reservation at a hotel, I'd typically go to booking.com or one of it's competitors. Those sites are pretty much 100% advertising, but how else am I gonna find a hotel on the other side of the planet, in a country I've never been before?

You also run into some tricky hairsplitting questions. Where do you draw the line on advertising? Are webshops allowed to list 3rd party products? Or is that advertising? I don't want to outlaw online shopping entirely, it's extremely handy! What about search engine results from those webshops? Free search engines will disappear, but let's say I have a paid account and search for "buy dell laptop". Are the results advertising? How do you differentiate and define the cases legally?

I think it's a good idea, but it's gonna be quite tricky to implement well. And executing this idea poorly is potentially quite bad.

Getting it implemented at all is going to be hard: even well executed, this idea is going to have a huge impact on the economy, and people are not going to like that. This idea would be good for democracy, but ironically democracy is not good for this idea.

The value of my time dwarfs the cost of using an AI.

That said, you are underestimating AI costs if you think it works out to a fraction of a cent per hour.
In addition to sibling commenters mentioning incentive-side (eg. paid to promote) considerations, I also propose both an "immersion" and/or "consent" component.

When you are dining, and are suggested food pairings -- I'm there to eat, so suggesting something food related from the same establishment, that may enhance my meal experience, makes sense and generally does not feel unduly interruptive. In a way, I consent to being offered additional interesting and available food items at that time and place. I would not find it acceptable if the waiter brought out a catalog and tried to sell me shoes or insurance.

In a similar way, I don't mind (and often even enjoy or appreciate) movie trailers at the beginning of movies. I'm there to watch a movie, and in a fairly non-interruptive way (before the start of the movie) I am presented with some other movies coming out soon. Nice. I consent to seeing them at the start of a movie, and they are relevant to the subject matter. I would certainly be irritated if they were hoisted upon me in the middle of the movie, or if they were about new cars coming out soon.

I have also at times been actively searching for something I need or want to purchase, but am unsure what exactly I am looking for or what are the best options. At that time I would certainly be more open and interested in seeing advertisements regarding the types of items I am interested in. I would "consent" to seeing interest based advertisements.

Summary: I do not enjoy being interrupted with advertisements completely unrelated to whatever activity I am taking part in. I only want to see them when it is related to what I am doing, AND when I consent to seeing them.
I pay for search. What do you do?

They still haven't. I host a site from my Comcast connection just fine.
> If you pay sociologists and psychologists to design „most effective ad” for you...

It doesn't actually work like that. A/B tests learn the highest-yielding ad. Psychology isn't robust enough to actually predict these things.
Why do we only like our science fiction like editorial pieces these days? Still waiting for the think piece on flying cars that are coming in the next 3 years...
I would start with obvious things, like banning distracting blinking advertisement next to roads and go further from there.

Rule of thumb, all aggressive unwanted information.

Clear? For sure not, like you said. But I am considering (rather dreaming) moving to La Palma, a vulcano island that banned all light advertisement (they did so, because of the observatories on top, but they are cool).

Still, a city without aggressive lights would be nice. Some lights are probably unavaidable in big cities, but light that is purposeful distracting, should be just banned.

And online is kind of a different beast, as we voluntarily go to the sites offering us information (but thank god and gorhill for adblockers)
i haven't come across a single ad that would have helped me to discover things i didn't know existed. and i don't think i missed out on anything because of that.
Nobody is even going to know to put you on their list, unless you do marketing and promotion.

Fascinating glimpse into the potential of AI to enhance development velocity. While the current capabilities are impressive, I wonder about the scalability and generalizability to more complex projects. Definitely a space to watch - tools like this could be transformative for developer productivity if limitations can be overcome.
I hope you still get the point. It might have unforeseeable consequences and at some point we may end up trapped in a dilemma.

Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies. Same with Billy Madison and Austin Powers so that's what came to mind, they are classics.

I figured I had to put something in there so i wouldn't bore people to tears as it can get pretty dry pretty quickly talking about register allocation and low-level Linux kernel primitives.

Nonetheless, I hope you at least enjoyed it.
Wait why..? Most vacuums sold now make it easy to create no-go zones. The only thing I occasionally have to deal with is loose cables wreaking havoc
So we end up in a system in which those with money to litigate will do what they want? I'd rather have airtight laws instead.
Show HN: I made an AI Platform that gamifies applying to jobs
Hi there! I've created ApplyNinja, a platform that uses AI to help jobseekers apply to jobs faster and better.

What differentiates ApplyNinja from the other "auto-apply" platforms is the trained AI model behind it. It learns from your resume and the jobs you apply to, and it provides better and better results.

Currently, it serves as a helper for the entire application process:
- Track & Monitor job applications
- Generates Resume suggestions and highlights the parts that are not so good
- Auto-fixes and generates a new resume based on the suggestions
- Creates Cover Letters based on your resume and the job description
- Generates Company Insights, scraping user reviews from Glassdoor, Indeed etc.
- Generates Salary Insights so jobseekers have a negotiation leverage
- Generates Technical Interview Questions based on the Job Description

On top of all of this, it provides a gamified experience, because consistency is the key in applying to jobs.

Me and my friends are using it daily and manage to land approximately 5-10 interviews/month as Software Engineers.

I would really love any kind of feedback. Thank you very much!
looks like a leak to me.

That component doesn’t matter because advertising also makes it harder to find what you need, since everyone is doing it. If you didn’t know it previously existed, how do you even know if it will solve your problem like it says it does?
I think you're still missing the distinction between "all mosquitoes" and "harmful mosquitoes". I don't think anyone is serious about eliminating mosquitoes that don't feed on humans at all, for instance. What's being proposed is more analogous to aliens eliminating particular types of lettuce because they have a lethal allergy. We would in fact be fine in this scenario, precisely because there are still other kinds of lettuce and other leafy greens. We might not like it, but we would be fine. I get the impression that the kinds of animals that eat mosquitoes are less picky, more in the "if it fits in my face, om nom nom" end of the spectrum.

LLMs literally are just predicting tokens with a probabilistic model. They’re incredibly complicated and sophisticated models, but they still are just incredibly complicated and sophisticated models for predicting tokens. It’s maybe unexpected that such a thing can do summarization, but it demonstrably can.

Vermont bans billboards and it is amazing.
Exactly, we disagree and you are not alone in thinking this. You can use reason to do math, but your can't model reason with math.
I actually agree. Telling friends and family will get you more of a 'flash in the pan' response. They are not content creators or influencers. You need to do advertising to figure out if your product/business is even economically feasible.

For example, run an ad campaign on Google, figure out your CPC (cost per customer). See if that is even below your LTV (lifetime value per customer) plus operating expenses. And then tweak all the variables in your product and campaign to actually create some sort of sustainable business flywheel.

Having an amazing product and 'waiting' for your network to spread the word to all potential customers.. it's absurd to think that would work. It's hard enough even with big ad campaigns to reach potential customers.
This is a really interesting question.

Some thought experiments:

What do [search engines, social networks, newspapers] look like? I assume they'd all be paid and you'd get some free tastes and then decide which you'd pay for in the long term (à la kagi).

By removing the third party payer, the service provider has no incentive to do anything for them, whether aligned or not with the user. That is the big plus.

What about all the money that companies use to promote their products and services through advertisements and marketing? Some portion of that would probably go to making their products better. The rest... from their standpoint, how do they even get a potential customer to know they exist? That's tough.

I think the false dichotomy is really jarring. Setting up a straw-man population of "just DJs" that are yet capable of making sample-based music is fairly uninformed. And even "just DJs" picking the right tracks, cross fading at the right time, and potentially beat matching is still an artistic endeavor.
None of those things exempt something from speech protection in the US, as far as I'm aware. Different countries have different laws, but here you are legally allowed to say just about anything (including way worse stuff than any of the things you mentioned).

The reference to Formula 1 not leading to driving decline is somewhat paradoxical.

Formula 1 has a lot of rules regulating what can and can't be done to change the cars. They basically enforce the traditional driving model.

Given this, I almost think this is an example of the opposite of what the author intends it to be. The reason Formula 1 hasn't led to a reduction in driving skill is because they don't allow changes to be made to the driver interface to the car.

Great overview of CPU caching and its impact on Python performance. The benchmark really drives home the point. It would be interesting to see how other dynamic languages like JavaScript compare, and if JIT compilers are able to optimize away some of these caching inefficiencies.
That's why it's such a stupid idea. People who want a world without advertising should create a product that will genuinely improve people's lives and be forced to work as a salesman selling that product and experience the practicalities of doing so before drawing lines. I'm not for unsolicited phone calls about my car's warranty during dinner, but advertising is not this universal evil that some make it out to be.
Cool. Is there a downside?

Serious and genuine question, how? It seems that some of the layoffs in the administration might be illegal, however they still happened and there are no legal consequences yet. High ranked officials discussing national security matters on non approved platforms *is* illegal, yet nothing happened and I bet nothing will happen at all. Given this background, how will the Constitution prevent such a case?
I doubt that list is as long as the great minds that glommed onto a new tech that turned out to be a dud, but I could be wrong. It's an interesting question, but each tech needs to be evaluated separately.

This is inherently a subjective matter. It's not possible to be objectively incorrect on whether or not speech protection should be absolute.
I only heard the start of the story, never about the penalties. Good to know that there is (eventual) enforcement.
