I doubt that, when confronted with an image that you've learned to associate with a plethora of low-quality / low-effort productions, you'd search for the possible origin, in the first place.

(After all, it's yet another ephemeral image in "that AI style", with no apparent thought having gone into it, just some name dropping, at best. Or some generated, senseless story, you would be glad, the algorithm hadn't pointed your kids at. Why should you?)
Very cool!

What's meant by "it’s already too much to ask for a closed form for fibonacci numbers"? Binet's formula is usually called a closed form in my experience. Is "closed form" here supposed to mean "closed form we can evaluate without needing arbitrary-precision arithmetic"?
> For many, many websites this is going to be good enough.

It was largely a solved problem though. Companies did not seem to have an issue with using stock photos. My current company's website is full of them.

For business use cases, those galleries were already so extensive before AI image generation, that what you wanted was almost always there. They seemingly looked at people's search queries, and added images to match previously failed queries. Even things you wouldn't think would have a photo like "man in business suit jump kicking a guy while screaming", have plenty of results.
Show HN: Defense Jobs EU Job Board

> Why is Trump even attempting to reshore manufacturing?

He isn’t. The fact that he’s open to cutting deals undercuts the tariffs’ restoring effect.

Tariffs are a tax. The administration found a revenue toy and a bunch of people are playing it in different directions. There isn’t a coherent plan as much as a bunch of plans, some of which make sense, some of which don’t, but none of which make sense when stacked with the others.

I use search the same as I did before LLMs. I don't find ChatGPT to be useful for finding information. I do use Claude extensively for writing code and explaining errors via Github Copilot in VSCode, but I still primarily use Google.
By "imports of emissions" here, are we referring to the emissions involved in the creation of the imported goods? Or just what exactly?
I have Gemini results in my Google searches. They're "good enough" that I rarely venture to LLMs.

When I do, it's because either I can't think of good terms to use, and the LLM helps me figure out what I'm looking for, or I want to keep asking follow-up questions.

Even then, I probably use an LLM every other week at most.
They work pretty well for me.

Feedback needed to improve my Hideload software
Hi HN community,

I've recently developed Hideload, a desktop application to track document changes and manage document revisions. While I believe it addresses version control for business & office documents, I know there's always room for improvement, especially with insightful feedback.

If you have a moment to try it out and share your experiences, ideas, or suggestions, I'd be incredibly grateful.

Here’s the link: https://hideload.org

A few questions to guide your feedback (feel free to go beyond these!):

1. Does the application address your needs or expectations?
2. Were there any features that stood out or felt lacking?
3. Any suggestions for improving user experience or functionality?

Your input will directly shape the future of Hideload, and I’ll make sure to credit this community for its impact!

Thank you for your time and valuable insights!
Interesting, that still works? I first heard about that a decade ago.
You make a personal evaluation that differs from the market and you act on it. You need a model of the world and to believe it is more accurate than the average. A lot of people felt the market was overvalued and would correct during the Trump presidency.

Unfortunately, what I have found, is for every one person who has a legitimate track record of contributions and/or working/worked on projects beyond the basics, there are 100 people who simply do a bunch of cookie cutter projects to make their Github look good, but everything is shallow.

Ironically, those with the cookie cutter projects set themselves up to get weeded out easily, as there is a clear pattern of 'learning to pass the test' rather than learning to learn

Clojure: Realtime collaborative web apps without ClojureScript
Each example's endeavor is the production of culture. The least interesting use case for "AI".

Real wealth creation will come from other domains. These new tools (big data, ML, LLMs, etc) unlock the ability to tackle entirely new problems.

But as a fad, "AI" is pretty good for separating investors from their money.

We're launching a weekly series based on ForecastOS Hivemind — our platform that continuously scans and analyzes media sources to detect emerging global trends using AI.

Each week, we highlight the top 10 most noteworthy themes across geopolitics, tech, markets, and culture, complete with historical trendlines, mention data, and contextual transcripts.

This dataset is behind a paywall, but for the next several weeks, we’re making our weekly research public.

Top trends from March 30 to April 6 include:

Massive spike in tariff-related discourse

AI model releases and OpenAI updates

Elon Musk’s shifting political involvement

Deepening Israel-Gaza conflict

DOGE and federal budget cuts

You can read the first edition here: https://blog.forecastos.com/content/files/2025/04/Hivemind_n...

We’d love feedback, questions, or ideas on how to expand this.

Cheers!

The 360 had 24-bit addressing, for a maximum of 16 megabytes.

The 6502 in the Apple could address 64k of RAM. Any class of problem requiring more memory would need a real machine.

As far as a personal machine with comparable capability, RISC brought that to the market with the first MIPS R2000 in 1985.

I'd mostly agree, but with them specifically calling out "not anything formal" as part of the expectations for interview attire wouldn't be the time I'd want to be riding the line of "is this too close to formal". This isn't a job at a tailor or stylist. You're not being tested on your understanding of the roles of various garments in different levels of fashion over time.

Presumably OP had seen/visited an Apple Store before and knew what employees wore there, so it's not a mystery what the uniform is, and therefore what is probably meant by "don't wear anything formal". It's not some kind of gotcha.
I saw profiles across different searches which had no contact info listed, seems like it isn't really designed to be a hiring tool.

I'm very skeptical of the claim that you'll be able to identify people by "usefulness of code", whatever that means.
I’ve never given my kids melatonin, but I get it. A lot of parents have zero family support, especially among the professional class who moved across the country or world for jobs. I personally haven’t gotten more than 7 hours of sleep since my 2nd was born 3 years ago. He only sleeps about 8.5 hours at night, and there are always chores and house maintenance to do, which I can’t do while the kids are awake since they’re the source of the mess. I’ve literally paid a babysitter so I can mow my lawn and trim the trees, but often the babysitters cancel so I can’t plan on doing any task unless I take a vacation day from work.
Ah that's interesting. So it's like someone stealing from them, and them saying, ok bring part of it back and we'll retro-actively tell the police/customers that we gave your the money as payment for "testing our security".

I guess that could work if no customers are affected. If customers want to get their money and it's all there for everyone, it's all good. But if it isn't, it would be awkward to tell them "we don't have your money, we bought this expensive security audit for $10M and now you only get 20% of your deposit back".

Interestingly enough, they are sort of taking the side of the hacker then against the customer. Customers can go to the police and they'd laugh at them "you put your money in Abracadabra, and now you complain that, poof! your money is gone, as if by magic? Did we get that right?"

This is being done with data from people with previous convictions many of which will be on probation or in prison and support can be offered. The similar in intent (and equally controversial) anti terrorism “Prevent Strategy” may have had some success - although it’s hard to prove.
If Google provided an option to disable AI search results, I'd happily turn it off.

I'd also happily turn off several other search features, more directly tied to revenue, which is probably why they don't like adding options. I'm sure their AI will be selling products soon enough. Got to make those billions spent back somehow.
I find the regurgitated slop of ChatGPT to have an unsatisfactory signal to noise ratio + too much confident lies and so I prefer direct searches.

Which is kind of odd. 100% of the House is up for re-election; only 1/3 of the Senate is. I would expect the House to be fracturing more than the Senate.
> you posted [1] a sibling thread citing older numbers from the same source. Why did you do that?

I’m citing the poll the commenter I’m responding to originally cited. Given they trust that poll, it made sense to respond to it. I was also making a point about a dip in 2024; the newer poll doesn’t update those data.

Literally what I’ve been arguing [1].

Support for Israel is monotonically decreasing. When protests are covered, support for Palestine dips.

You can see in the code it persists the thinking history and branches until the MCP server is shut off.
My contention is that if you went back and did a sentiment analysis of the early to mid hype cycle conversations around the things in your list and compared them with the things in my list, there would be very little difference between the two sets of things. There was lots of hype and also lots of skepticism, for both sets of things.

My point is that hype vs. skepticism just isn't the useful metric.

I agree with you that this does not mean that it's impossible to identify which technologies have a "there" there, and which don't. I just don't think the level of hype is a very helpful input into the calculation.
I have had a number of occasions where I had a vague query that I was sure an LLM would handle better than a search engine, and yet I ended up failing to get a result with the LLM and Google came to my rescue (their search engine, not their AI!)
Isn’t saccharine toxic?
$15k for some clips of tom and jerry that almost look passable. What a deal.
I have reduced my traditional search engine use by, I'd guess, 90%.

Having said that, I use ChatGPT exactly like a search engine. If I want to find info I will explicitly enable the web search mode and usually just read the sources, not the actual summary provided by the LLM.

Why do this? I find if I don't quite know the exact term I am looking for I can describe my problem/situation and let ChatGPT make the relevant searches on my behalf (and presumably also do some kind of embedding lookup).

This is particularly useful in new domains, e.g. I've been helping my wife do some legal research and I can explain my layman's understanding of a situation and ask for legal references, and sure enough it will produce cases and/or gov.uk sources that I can check. She has been impressed enough to buy a subscription.

I have also noticed that my years (decades!) of search engine skills have atrophied quicker than expected. I find myself typing into Google as I would to ChatGPT, in a much more human way, then catch myself and realise I can actually write much more tersely (and use, e.g. site:).
Wearing jeans and a T-shirt doesn’t make anyone a slob. Also, there’s ways you can be a slob even in a suit.

I’d suggest you reacquaint yourself with the comment guidelines, as this just is a simple ad hominem attack on me, despite not even making any claims as to what I wear to work.
> If they say they don't remember, that's a red flag.

Is it? I can think of projects I've worked on that have come up with friends that I have no idea how they worked anymore, just barely if at all. If the project was within the last 2 years, then yeah, but if its 8 year old plus code, I don't expect anyone to remember. However, they could have looked at it when they sent it over and refresh their minds.
At 20% of the body's total energy budget, I think the null hypothesis should probably be that there has been significant evolutionary pressure on human brain energetic efficiency.
Sadly, I just accepted having worse productivity. I didn't really have a choice, their bugs were actively breaking my workflow, like causing builds to fail. It definitely made me more frustrated and less productive on a day-to-day basis.
I still use search engines. I do not like to be spoon fed. I want to learn from the real people. Not AI generated shit. ChatGPT or other LLMs are trained on old data, they do not contain newer information. Newer information and knowledge are produced by the real humans. LLMs are great for quick fact checking, but not for searching.
For example: What's the height of mount Everest? LLMs will most probably give right answer.

What are the specs for new Goolge Pixel 9a? LLM can't answer this may after a year they can.
Your last idea there seems like it’s totally missing the point of these oji-san cards. It’s about connecting people to each other and forming community, not about scarcity, value or any other economic term.
Sure, but t-shirt and jeans is also what everyone working at an Apple Store wears. It'd be one thing if they didn't say what to wear - then I'd totally understand going a bit above, but if they specifically put in "not formal", then it seems reasonable to assume they mean "match the uniform generally".

I think so. Seems also toxic to bacteria!
At the moment it seems like you can avoid AI search results by either including swear words, or by using 'minus' to exclude terms (e.g. append -elephant to your search query).

I'm not a researcher, so start with the default assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I had the same impression when studying those topics, asymptotic analysis is kind of broken.

For example, we assume that arbitrary arithmetic takes constant time. Good. Except that if you take that seriously, then P=PSPACE. So we might say that bit operations on fixed registers are constant time. But nobody does that because then arithmetic is O(lg n) and it's too much trouble to keep track of everything (and if you do, then hashtables aren't O(1) any longer!) If we are more sophisticated we might take a transidchotomous model, but that's really weird and we have results like sorting in less than n lg n time.
Not to mention that the mathematical foundations get a bit shaky with more than one variable.

I think the hard problem underneath is that it's hard to define a computational model that (a) can be reasoned about and isn't extremely weird, (b) has solid mathematical foundations, (c) is reasonably predictive of real world performance, and (d) is not linked to a specific architecture. Asymptotic analysis is kind of a compromise. It can be formulated in very elementary terms, it makes mathematical sense and if you plot the performance of a sorting algorithm on a chart it kind of looks like the graph of n log n if you squint a bit.

Knuth does something similar to what you're suggesting IIRC, albeit without the analytic combinatorics machinery. For some programs he derives a precise expression as a function of the size of input that describes how many operations of each kind the underlying machine will perform. In numerical analysis there is a similar concept, e.g. evaluating a polynomial with Horner has the same asymptotic complexity as the naive method, but we say it's better because it takes exactly the optimal amount of floating point operations (and, in practice, because it uses fused multiply-adds, but that's another story...)

A research program along those lines would be certainly fascinating, but the combination of "needs to be reasonably predictive" and "needs to be portable" is a tough nut to crack.

Sure. But that population estimate is only something like 25% higher than today's population; the per capita decline with improvements in technology could be much more dramatic than that. Plus, the remaining increase in population is likely to be biased towards poorer parts of the world where per capita consumption is already lower. Parts of the world that haven't had a fossil-fueled industrial revolution by now shouldn't ever be expected to - they'll be able to leap-frog over those technologies.
