I did 5/5, looking for quant jobs now

Curious, how fast the AI providers re-index a page after you make a change? Do you see the results in the next model update, or do they try to use more realtime data by making their agent fetching the website every time?

I love the art

Curious, what would be the goal for this?

Looks great! As a tenured Runescape player, I like the graphics.

“Flexible” would work if Amazon prioritized moving people around when the priorities change instead of laying off and rehiring.

You can easily call the typical Japanese life-long employees as “flexible” or “generalist” but not an employee of a company with median tenure rate of 1-2 years. That’s fungible.

You may have tried this already but often times systems require things to be sticky (ex: to increase caching efficiency) and that usually helps solving large problems since most solvers accept "hints" or "warm starts". CP-SAT does a great job accepting hints and cuts down the search time significantly if the hint is good.

and is admitting he didn't see the AI thing coming

You miss the point that this is not about AI in the first place

As long as HackerNews community keeps the quality of the conversation high (with or without AI), I don’t think many of us will question this too much

This was in fact flagged (though no indication on the title) yesterday, approximately 2 hours after it was on the second page.

It seems X's Grok became the first large LLM provider to weaken the content moderation rules. If people don't react enough, we will likely lose the first line of defense for keeping AI safe for anyone. Large providers need to act responsibly as the barrier of entry is practically 0.

Great list, thank you. The only thing to note is that whenever I imported a large list like this in the past, I always stopped checking my RSS reader after a while because the content wasn't interesting. I think finding RSS/adding it to a reader should happen organically over time.

Yes but the name “Air” claims lightweight, not thin

I would guess they do it because they want to minimize the chance that someone will install an unapproved app to someone’s phone and cause harm. I know it’s already pretty hard but Apple seems to be very particular when it comes to this.

It's not that they can't afford a $3 toothpaste, it is the environment they are in that makes it hard to prioritize things like this. It is the education and the overall life quality (or the lack there of) that causes this problem.

This seems to align with the article. The article states 3 to 5 percent decline after 2021. I see about the same in this graph.

All the countries above US have less than 1M population and generally poor countries. Saying that obesity is not related to the underlying social problems in the US showing this data is ridiculous.

Bloomberg may be the last company to be concerned about free information, thinking about their five digit annual fees for the terminal.

I think AWS showed us that it could work for enterprises too.

I just finished reading Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson’s book “Power and Progress” where they talk about how the leaders in the technology space is (unfortunately) able to set the direction of the technology according to their goals, not humanity’s goals. This is an excellent example of such power. NVIDIA wants to expand its business and pushes the industry to use more and more AI, which highly depends on their cards. Now all the VCs put billions of dollars towards this goal, thousands of Phds spend all their time, and companies change direction of business to catch the AI hype. Not necessarily because we decided this is the best for humanity, just because it’s the best for NVIDIA.

Pretty good idea, although Google does a better job for more traditional projects and bigger startups

People seem pissed in that Reddit thread, kind of shocking for them to take such a big risk and say “we don’t discriminate based on geopolitical issues”. Yandex is clearly not an independent startup in Russia.

I'm working on a new project and wanted to test the idea with a list on Black Friday deals. The purpose of the website is to create a community to create ranked lists. The problem today is that most of the "top 10 x" lists online are affiliate blogs which are ranking lists based on either their commissions or their personal preference. I think a crowd-sourced list website could create much better ranked lists in the long run. The main target is software engineers/tech people for now.

Feel free to sign up with 2 clicks and add any items to the lists! Feel free to comment on the idea and the missing features on the website.

I can't add a product, it asks me to add an icon despite the fact that I already uploaded one.

Why would you want to generate all the pixels using this model instead of generating all the art, physics, and objects in the world using a game engine? The engine does so much of the physics and keeps everything stable for very cheap.

I'm interested in this but I see long lasting issues and very few PRs (last one from August 3rd). Is it because things are stable now or the project is not getting traction?

Great book!

Great idea! I hope you can solve the problem that you are helping people solve.

"The Cobbler's children have no shoes"

This is actually not true nowadays. Streaming HQ video is pretty cheap (check out per GB pricing from Cloudfront or Fastly and divide that by 5-10 to get a realistic number)
