I know a couple of doctors and they both told me the same thing (this is likely dependent on exactly where you are): the amount of time they can spend with any given patient is less than 15 minutes. In practice, they have to "rob peter to pay paul" and try to minimize the amount of time they spend with patients who have lesser medical needs so they can spend more time with patients who have more complicated situations.

It's just so wild how great Duckduckgo is & how under-rated it is.

It's available in all major browsers (Here in zen browser, it doesn't even have a default browser but rather on the start page it asks between the three options, google duckduckgo and bing but yes if you press next it starts from google but zen can even start from ddg, its not such a big deal)

Duckduckgo is super amazing. I mean they are so amazing and their duck.ai or ai actually provides concise data instead of Google's AI

DDG is leaps ahead of Google in terms of everything. I found Kagi to be pleasant too but with PPP it might make sense in Europe and America but privacy isn't/ shouldn't be the only who only pays. So DDG is great for me personally and I can't recommend it enough for most cases.

Brave/Startpage is a second but DDG is so good :)

It just works


> the head of Communications immediately said he's going to start looking for alternatives.

He's gonna start looking for alternatives and then most likely find nothing that matches the featureset vs price of the current solution + the cost of switching, and the matter will quickly disappear.

Last time AWS or Cloudflare was down a lot of noise was made and a lot of people started looking for alternatives too - and everyone forgot about it a week later.

> Only for the company.

Yes, the point of business is to make profit, not to be a charity. Bending Spoons believes they can extract enough profit off Vimeo to justify the purchase price, either by reducing expenses, raising prices or both. This may still be palatable to the customers if they don't have any better option.


OK, AI could be used transparently to fill out forms and write down what the doctor talks to into a microphone, assist in the health staff with some tasks in the form of interchangeable tools. What we don't need is another layer of blackbox magic making everything even more murky.

I'm personally not very sensitive to refresh rates, I only really notice it in video games and it wasn't enough to keep me from replacing my 120hz primary monitor with the Studio Display. I was just curious about why you prefer higher refresh rate for programming, thanks for answering!

could you expand on this please? if I understood correctly then Deezer fails to match songs from a list of thousands? thanks

Everything posted is fan fiction and far from "fresh." Not to knock it, I am sure people like this but the video is firmly in the uncanny valley and has a cheap plastic feel to it.

axv-512 for zen4 also includes a bunch of instructions that weren't in 256, including enhanced masking, 16 bit floats, bit instructions, double-sized double-width register file

I'm just suggesting it has a positive impact in preventative care by giving people an outlet to discuss their symptoms and consider possibilities. Obviously the trade off might be more hypochrondriacs but its good for people who are the opposite.

Some of it is justifying for insurance. But some of it is so there’s a record to refer to later when you come back.

Debris moves in 3D. Debris moving up will continue moving up. There is no force acting on it to bring it back down. Your comment makes it sound like an explosion would only be in 2D along the same orbit as the original object.

Pretty ironic considering they bootstrapped the service with pirated music. But they've never actually cared about music — they started as an ad platform and music was the cheapest option for then to attract eyeballs.

No. It literally means the police have no obligation to help anyone.

The can (and do) stand around with theirs thumbs a up their asses while bad shit happens.

ToS are not enforceable if you don't use an official product feed from Amazon in this case. As shown by thousands of companies providing exactly this service for competitor analysis.

Is he feeling guilty for basically throwing global climate change out the window? The issue was singlehandedly swept under the rug by AI.

> Do illegals (and that is an honest question) benefit from constitutional rights?

Generally, yes. There are rights that are protected only for citizens (e.g., voting rights), but most Constitutional rights restrain what the government can do to people, an are not keyed to citizenship, or to residency status.

> And, lastly, where was the outrage here on HN when, in 2015, Obama awarded a Presidential Rank Award to Tom Homan (the same Tom Homan) for how he handled the millions (!) of deportations under Obama?

The deportations under Obama were manifestly handled differently than under Trump, so one could very consistently object to the latter and not object, or not object as strenuously, to the former.

> By now under Trump only 20% of the number of illegals that Obama deported have been deported.

The main objections have never been to the number of people lawfully subject to deportation who have been deported.


Great questions.

On scaling: appends don't create versions, only updates and deletes do. So for your 10k message conversations, uc.get() is O(n) reads. Standard database scaling. The versioning overhead only kicks in when you're actually mutating context, and even then we handle the optimization so you don't have to think about it.

On version history: each agent run doesn't create a version. Versions are created when you update or delete a message. So if your agent appends 1000 messages across 1000 runs, that's just 1000 appends. No version explosion.

Time travel (rewinding to a specific point) is also O(n). This was my personal main bottleneck when deploying B2C agents, so the API is heavily optimized for it.

For your 5 accounts x 5 conversations setup: you'd have 25 separate contexts. Each scales independently. Parse through them however you want, filter by metadata, retrieve by timestamp or index.


But the definition of what counts as "politics" is entirely arbitrary. A thread complaining about, say, homeless people in SF will remain just fine. We'd all be better off with meaningful guidelines.

We let the models handle it, we don't compact for them.

> Reading between the lines

Tbf, and in support of your broader point, there's no reading between the lines, because genuine intent is indistinguishable from deception with this kind of stuff, because the latter imitates the former. There's only expecting the worst, and only occasionally wrong.


> You cannot:

> Operate official, unofficial, private or any otherwise competing BitCraft servers

Doesn't this contradict the Apache license? Isn't this "source-available"?


All of this is a Trojan horse for mass identity verification and violation of privacy and anonymity

sure but this is part of preventative care. I'm one of those people who are happier to shrug off symptoms than go through the effort of seeking medical diagnosis and I doubt I'm alone in this.

Zorin OS asks whether you want a Windows-like or MacOS-like desktop during install.

My top recommendation for a Windows user though is Linux Mint. It's desktop is called Cinnamon and while it doesn't look exactly like any Windows desktop, it's familiar enough that people don't have trouble switching to it. Linux Mint seems to be the, "It Just Works", Linux distro these days.

Beyond that, if you don't mind installing themes, most Linux desktops can be themed to look like whatever version of Windows, MacOS, etc. that you want. Getting the feel can be more difficult. KDE Plasma is very customizable though if you are willing to spend the time.


Is crawling really solved?

Any naive crawler is going to run into the problem that servers can give different responses to different clients which means you can show the crawler something different to what you show real users. That turns crawling into an antagonistic problem where the crawler developers need to continually be on the lookout for new ways of servers doing malicious things that poison/mislead the index.

Otherwise you'll return junk spam results from spammers that lied to the crawler.

I've never done it so maybe it's easier than I imagine but I wouldn't be quick to assume that crawling is solved.


Except that the constitution is apparently used during training time, not inference. The system prompts of their own products are probably better suited as a reference for writing system prompts: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/release-notes/system-pro...

"Hey ChatGPT I want to build my own personal cloud storage computer, buy all the hardware for me then walk me through building and configuring it. My budget is $600, try to get the best deals and make sure that all the parts are compatible. I'm fine with used parts as long as they're a good deal and are in working order."

Very interesting, seems like a good framework to test and experiment with memory. I am curious why it wasn't able to solve it considering it is a well known game. Would be interesting if puzzle games like this could be generated so we know it's not already been trained on it.

> This rejects any fixed, universal moral standards

uh did you have a counter proposal? i have a feeling i'm going to prefer claude's approach...


Even if we ignore the siblings: but what is being selected for? Pure economic value, right? In other words, imagine two choices: a cheap meal that takes X time and Y money to prepare and eat, vs. a nutritious meal that takes X+n1 time and Y+n2 money to prepare and eat.

If the "fitness function" of the system is "produces more economic value" then it will select for (encourage) the first option because health and enjoyment of the consumer aren't being selected for. They are second-order effects at best, like pollution and other externalities.

I'm reminded of the RFK speech (the dead one, not the death-adjacent Jr.):

"Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile."
