Shein biggest thing is actually AI/ML. As far I remember, what they really invested is on the service per see. Shein gather data from consumers on internet, on what's the latest trends/art, and just create clothes. And they do this like, always.

There's no "Summer" or "Winter" season clothes. They just update them continually.

If only version control had been invented earlier.

Some of the in–progress versions of the stories are quite hilarious. In the earliest drafts of the story of Beren and Luthien, Beren sets off to cut a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth and is more or less immediately captured by one of Morgoth’s lieutenants, Tevildo. Who is a talking cat. With a whole castle full of talking cats that mostly laze about on the terraces but occasionally waylay passersby and make them serve as scullery maids. Christopher Tolkien calls him “the appalling Tevildo”.

By many changes small and great Tolkien went from Tevildo, Prince of Cats to Sauron, Lord of the Rings. If you ever write a book, keep that in mind when you hesitate to cut or rewrite what seems like your best ideas.

Happy to share a project I've been working for the last few months: A5, a global, equal-area, millimeter-accurate geospatial index. If you you've come across S2 or H3 in the past, it has much in common, except that it uses pentagons for the cell shapes, and the underlying platonic solid it is based on is a dodecahedron (rather than cube, or icosahedron as are commonly used).

There are a number of visual examples on the website to show how it works, along with example use cases.
Thank you for saving me money! I have been saving up for a little birthday gift for myself, which I was planning to get from Temu and the extra charge would make it way over my budget. Thanks again!

I've seen countless interviews of Trump supporters who believe that China is the one paying for it. Which I can completely understand because if it is a cost on them it would be typically be called a tax.

That said the overwhelmingly majority are shocked but believe it's all just a negotiating tactic:

Perhaps you could contribute a version in a language that uses more descriptive names, something like BitPacker.WriteInt64 for >Q if I'm guessing correctly what that means (I'd equally need to check the docs to know what format these letters represent, but I don't find it too confusing when you know it's simply some binary / byte array version of the same thing)
Answering my own question after some research. It looks like OpenAI decided not to introduce 4.1 in ChatGPT UI because 4.1 is not necessarily a better model than 4o because it is not multi modal.

Now you can imagine introducing a newer "type" of model like 4.1 that's better at following instructions and better at coding to bring a sort of overhead thats already too much with the given options.

OpenAI confirmed somewhere that they have already incorporated the enhancements made in 4.1 to 4o model in ChatGPT UI. I assume they would delegate to 4.1 model if the prompt doesn't require specific 4o capabilities.

Also one of the improvements made to 4.1 is following instructions. This type of thing is better suited for agentic use cases that are typically used in the form of an API.
but in the process all their customers will have been burned buying something from Temu and many will be wary of buying in the future even if the tariff situation improves etc?
Many sites hosted on Vercel, I suppose. If sites are hosted on nginx/varnish I’d be surprised if they didn’t do an order of magnitude more.
I doubt anyone is seriously arguing the tariffs as implemented are the solution.

On the other hand, if you're thinking all opposition to the tariffs need to agree then you're deluding yourself (not trying to be antagonistic here, but it's dangerous to be blind to alternatives.)

For instance, a smaller tariff on completed Luxury goods and a removal of the Temu exception could've easily been the play and potentially could've been done without much fanfare (by someone who wasn't Trump obviously)
Some people may feel that their economy was already destroyed when manufacturing was moved to China. Ever drive around Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, etc? So many dead towns, thanks to jobs moving elsewhere.

I think ending the pipeline of landfill fodder from Temu is a great thing. That kind of consumerism is like eating a diet of pure sugar. Feels good for a second, but bad for the consumer, environment and economy.
Yeah the outcomes here are insane -

Here in Australia I can order a $10 (AUD) item from aliexpress and get free shipping from China. But as a consumer or small busines, if I want to send anything bigger than a letter within Australia it's likely to cost me way more than $10 just for the postage.

It doesn't make sense and it must distort retail trade in China's favour. I'm honestly not surprised the US withdrew from that treaty, I think it needs reworking.

> That doesn't mean I have to like the technical characteristics.

I didn't say you have to like them. But if you claim they are insecure, I feel like it's my right to note that you may be wrong.

That is not exactly a counter-point in a discussion between a mobile app doing NFC and a mobile app using QR codes, is it?

> I'd be sceptical of anything like TWINT catching on in the UK, because NFC payments are already ubiquitous and also really easy to use.

That's another question. My original point was that non-US banks should not depend on Google Play Services or Apple Pay (which at least until very recently was the only way to pay with NFC on iPhones, wasn't it?).

Is there any political tool to prevent rampant rule breaking and making the disliked rulebreaker specially vulnerable? Rule breaking is common and apocrypal form of strike involve following the rules to the letter and paralyzing the business. The prevailing principle is "you cant defend yourself by pointing to other rulebreakers" while reality is "its legal if a hundred businessmen do it".
> Anyone can install robinhood on their phone and trade using their credit card.

Buying a few stocks on an app is not anywhere near the same thing as being an accredited investor. Access to the most lucrative investment opportunities are not available to the average person, and that's almost entirely due to rules intentionally created to block anyone but the already wealthy.
If the university was founded by the government, it should represent Americans. All of them. Half of Americans are conservative. Approx. half of academia should be conservative.

Do you feel guilty about using a compiler?

An assembler?

A chip die you didn't design and tape out yourself?

What about a library?

A framework?

An external service or product?

I've looked up opcodes on a little insert and hand entered the hex digits on a little hex keyboard.

I can't say I've ever felt guilty when using MS-Dos debug to "assemble" the opcodes instead. Or MASM or turbo assembler.

What you feel is what you feel. And that might not be rational, but if your feeling is valid about using LLMs, surely the same arguments should apply to using a framework or library?

Maybe you could try moving your focus from the code to the product. Even if you use tools to produce it - the product design and quality are still yours. You chose what tools to use and how to evaluate the product quality and design.
Very cool! What if you added a side-by-side of what the LLM predicted and the effect on key stocks in the hour or two after his tweet? Like the NVDA one, it would be interesting to see how it moved the stock.
By that definition, the entropy of a game of chess decreases with time because as the game moves on there are less possible legal states. Did I get that right?
I think we’re all aware of how layoffs in the US work because there’s so godawfully many of them (that get publicised on HN). It’s very clear to me that 3-6 months of severance is very much not the norm. Being walked out immediately by security very much is.
> It has relation to the physical world: it assigns probabilities to subword units of text.

How is that probability assignment linked to the physical world exactly? In the physical world the computer will produce a token. You rejected before that it was about predicting the token that would be produced.
So a phone can totally emulate a regular physical credit card, if it has the private key.

Behaving like a credit card does not mean that the credit card is clonable.
Americans definitely have more buying power than Europe. This doesn't look to be true.
USA is the worldwide exception when it comes to SW industry, not the rule.

The US tech industry is reaping the benefits of being the WW2 and cold war victor, the first to the punch in SW development and online capitalization, a homogenous single language market with the top economy in the world and owning the world reserve currency, meaning they can print and throw ungodly sums of money at any app that helps with mass data collection, data which is more valuable to advertisers because the US consumer has the highest purchasing power in the world by a long margin, and subject to less linguistical, financial and legal fragmentation and gov oversight than the EU.

It's a positive reinforcing feedback loop where more money helps creates even more money, like a snowball rolling downhill. It's not something Italy or any EU as a whole can replicate. We can replicate the same SW tech/concepts here, but not the scale and monetary effects that the same tech has in the hands of the US. US is basically playing the game with the infinite money glitch, and the crazy US salaries are a second order effect of that.
I am curious why the word "entropy" encompasses so many concepts? Wouldn't it have made sense to just give each concept a different word?
Have they tried making good original movies.
> The reality is AI will change how software is built

Yup, now instead of blindly using tab to autocomplete I have to check the "AI" is not fucking up before pressing the key.
There's an uncomfortable truth backing this, at least for me: revising the code of a LLM and changing my cursorrules is easier than fixing up a junior's code and teaching them _why_ I'd want to do something a particular way. After all, it's a tool, not a person, and you can be much rougher with your tools.
Be the change you seek.
In France, we ran an NGO whose music festival got a bit big… a million or two of beer sales. Tax office came in and put that part of the NGO under the business rules, ie we paid and received VAT, paid the corporate tax at the normal rate, etc. We ended up putting the entire charity under the business rule because it was more profitable (saving VAT on all providers, while our donations were exempt of VAT).

I’m surprised USA doesn’t have a rule that industrial/commercial sections of any org is liable to all corporate tax laws.
Still searching.
But they do have a time limit on leaving a review, as far as I can tell.
What's the difference between storing a random number and storing the OTP secret? It's all ones and zeroes in a database

If you store the OTP secret in an HSM, then you can do the same when generating a random number. I'm not aware of anyone actually doing that though (I surely won't have seen even 1% of what's out there, but as a security consultant I get around at least a little bit)
Fabrice is an amazing programmer, and does cool things. He is an inspiration to us all.

There's an Apple TV+ series called Extrapolations with a plot of a dystopian future heavily affected by climate change. One of the plotlines involve humans successfully developing the technology to communicate with humpback whales.

So, the story involves an animal DNA archivist interacting with what's presented as the last living humpback whale, focusing on its isolation etc. It turns out the research lab's goal is to trick the whale by faking mating signals, aiming to get it to reveal information about whale history and culture. It's essentially data mining the animal.

> Proper jeans aren't really washed more than once a month or at all.

I've had a lot of people say this to me. I've known their policy on washing jeans without them ever having to tell me, though.

People become noseblind to their own stench. Unfortunately, it's not easy to ignore the stench of someone else wearing pants with a month of sweat and fecal bacteria soaked into them. I know lots of people also only wash their coats once a year, and trust me, being more resistant to stinking isn't the same as being completely immune to stinking.

Wash your clothes. The idea of not washing them is a meme and it's incredible how many people have fallen for it lately.
Or people just become satisfied with lower quality. Hand-crafted chairs from a woodworker used to be the only way to get a chair. You'd get an amazing, life-long chair with no flaws. Now that chairs are cheaply made in factories, we can have multiple different chairs with many flaws. And just toss them out and go on to the next one when needed. But... those sturdy beautiful fine-wordworker-made chairs are still being built. They are just more rare, expensive, and special than ever before.

* It's certainly production-ready; the installed base for serious use (visiting at least weekly, deployed somewhere) is in the hundreds and we have users with ~1M events daily. Obviously, I'm using it myself in all my production projects.

* "feature complete" depends on your feature-set :-). It's very much focused on Error Tracking; APM is not on the roadmap. But within the feature-set of Error-Tracking, I'd like to think it's best-of-class.

* Comparison with GlitchTip: Bugsink is built from the ground up with self hosting in mind. You'll first notice the difference when going through the installation instructions (getting started is literally faster than signing up for a SaaS solution) but it also shows e.g. in the required maintenance.

* One-band: yes, but I've incorporated and I'm serious about it.
My favorite books about Isaac Newton, his life and his magnificent Principia
Some great recommendations and thoughts from Douglas W. MacDougal:

My father showed me a comet through his binoculars after dinner when I was six. I remember seeing that ghostly wisp from another time, suspended in space, hung among the stars. Years later, as a middle school student in Florida, our librarian displayed a copy of Newton’s Principia on a stand in the library. It was laid open to pages of intriguing, complex-looking geometrical drawings, including Newton’s dramatic illustration of a comet. I flipped through it every time I passed by, amazed to discover that things I saw in the sky could be known through the language of mathematics, a fact that still endlessly inspires me.
You might want to make the sample db read only.
Initially I was against it in your first paragraph but I started to agree. People do go out of their way to leave a bad review, the others are left enjoying the product (most of the time).

The only moral issue is perhaps that the method doesn't disclose what people are unhappy about to the public, who might be looking at the reviews. However, you're not preventing people from leaving a negative review with criticism, you're simply providing a way for feedback to be provided directly back to the developer which is good and there's no issue with that.
Please - anyone - announce a talk he is going to give. I would listen to him. I just heard Vint Cerf speak on martian probe networking.
The developer is not going to become obsolete.

However, LLMs might already be good enough to replace teams of 10 software developers with a domain expert and an expert developer armed with good LLMs.

That's enough for a fundamental, very violent change to the software industry.
Agree US market seems bloated, not only salaries but also positions, you can find "seniors" with 2 years of experience, maybe a side effect from the pandemic boom
Sonnet 3.7 non-reasoning is better on its own. In fact even Sonnet 3.5-v2 is, and that was released 6 months ago. Now to be fair, they're close enough that there will be usecases - especially non-coding - where 4.1 beats it consistently. Also, 4.1 is quite a lot cheaper and faster. Still, OpenAI is clearly behind.
> kills local businesses

The business-to-consumer businesses, which take the largest markup, employ the most people and pay the highest wages in the supply chain, have thrived under this system.

It's not the customers that demand products be made in China, it's these "local" businesses.
If people can be ranked differently as candidates by different universities and the people at them how can you ever be sure that a person who got the job because of DEI was the worse candidate?
Nope. Philip Mason debunked #TeamTrees as yet another, completely pointless MrBeast vibe cause.

I adapted code for Java back in the day from here: https://github.com/j256/two-factor-auth/blob/master/src/main...

A bit longer but most of it is just boilerplate Java stuff to deal with polymorphism and a base32 implementation. I recall, stripping most of that away in our internal adapted version of that.

Key points:

- generate a 16 character base32 secret and stuff it in a totp link. otpauth://totp/Alice:alice@example.com?secret=JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP&issuer=Alice

- stuff that in a QR code and show it to the user so they point their phone authenticator app at it to store the secret. We used a js library for this.

- store the secret with the user account in a secure way (we used aes encryption for this)

- when verifying, use the secret, a timestamp in seconds after the epoch divided by 30 (simple normalization step applied on the client as well) and use the user provided number to construct a sha1 hmac and grab the last digits and prepend with zeros. The calculated string should be the same as what the user typed from their token app as long as their clock is in sync.

- we actually implemented a grace period by calculating the before and after code as well so the user isn't screwed over if the number rotates while they were tapping out the code.

While relatively easy to implement, we ran into a lot of friction rolling this out to normal users. Basically non technical people find this stuff super confusing and we had to hand hold quite a few people through the process and we also had to deal with people that lost their secret, or kept on using the wrong code (for a different account). The UX of this stuff is just terrible. Be prepared to deal with a lot of support overhead if you choose to roll this out. A non trivial percentage of users will manage to lock themselves out of their accounts.
Great initiative.

My favorite reads on Systems Thinking
I love systems thinking because it explains so much about the world. In the 1960s, my father gave me all of the early systems thinking literature, and I have been on a mission to educate people about systems thinking ever since. I know it has helped me immeasurably.
Typewise (YC S22) Is Hiring an ML Engineer (Zurich, Switzerland)
This isn’t true, because the subsidized stuff from China drove medium-quality choices out of the market.

Try to buy some nicer jeans or T-shirts. The choices are stuff made as cheaply as possible, brand name stuff made as cheaply as possible but marked up like it isn’t, and actual quality clothes at 15x the price of the cheapest stuff. Most of the US clothing manufacturers have pivoted to the high-end just to survive or moved production overseas and are coasting along on their brand reputation.
