Such an HN response. This is a page announcing a partnership and that a fam created idea for a themed set has been accepted.
The set is not anywhere near finalized, and they don’t make any claims close to that. The original fan made set uses a very creative spinning light, and I’m sure that will be built on.
1. The legend uses different icons than the visualization
2. Why would you purposefully make every bubble empty? Change the scale to 1000 employees otherwise it’s deceptive. 10k employees is arbitrary.
1000 or 10k per stick figure is equally arbitrary.
What they actually need to do is scale the size of the stick people correctly.
For example, one meaningful measure might be to scale it so that one stick person fits inside a circle with area corresponding to the amount of money they have to earn in total for that number of people to cover all their living expenses and some amount of savings left over. I am sure some statistical bureau has some meaningful dollar amount of some sort that makes sense to use.
What is the age of the average Florida 2026 transplant? Couldn’t this just be near-retiree boomers moving to Florida, which doesn’t really indicate much?
What are these numbers compared to years prior? Do they fluctuate, or are they a continuous trend?
How much of the California and Texas numbers are caused by a small number of individuals (the Elon effect)?
Florida is a great state to declare bankruptcy in as they have a homestead exemption so they don't take your house. If you're a piece of shit that runs scammy businesses this a great place to move to.
Overall this isn't really a bad thing - if people want to vote with their feet then have at it. California continues to be a nice place to live and do business (non-competes) so I'm sure people will continue to live there. Everyone else can have Texas, Florida, and Tennessee and all of the, uh, benefits of living in those places and interacting with those state and local governments.
Just bout every state has a homestead exemption but IIRC Florida's is one of the few/only where it's unlimited on your primary residence so you "lock in" all your gainz by moving there before the "oops I'm bankrupt" drops.
LLMs work over a JSON API. You can read the JSON to see what's going on.
Using other people's harnesses I always got frustrated by not being able to see what the model sees. What are we actually sending it?
Context is pretty important when it comes to LLMs. Arguably, context is everything!
Usually the most straightforward way to see it, was to intercept the HTTP requests and dump them to a file.
This is usually trivial, just change the OPENAI_API_URL (or equivalent) to http://localhost:8080/ or whatever, which can be running a 20 line Python script, that just forwards the HTTP requests, and dumps them to a file.
It's pretty straightforward, although it really shouldn't be necessary in the first place.
The divergence is just the fee being placed into the margin you're paying regardless.
If you pay via a medium that does not return some of the margin to you in the form of rewards or a 'cash/debit' rebate, then functionally you're paying an invisible tax.
This means everyone should be using credit, ideally the highest reward options, which themselves have the highest processing fees, which result in higher prices all around. The creation of higher tiers of rewards and super-premium cards just repeats this cycle, whereby normal cardholders and cash/debit users are now subsidizing high-spend premium card users.
Further, large retailers negotiate significantly preferential rates and lower processing fees for their book of business. This means small and medium sized businesses pay significantly more per transaction for processing, meaning they're less competitive and less pricing pressure is placed on large retailers, which again raises prices for you.
There's also the card issuer side of things, but in short if you're not changing your credit cards regularly, companies will depreciate rewards and benefits over time in previous lines to move you into a higher margin segment of their portfolio.
In short, there's already a divergence, and you're already paying for it in multiple ways.
> In short, there's already a divergence, and you're already paying for it.
even with your optimal strategy, you're still paying for it: those points might as well be already spent at the network of vendors you've agreed to sell your purchase history to
There's some precedent on how do deal with this on this side of the pond. Require the list price to be achievable with some card at no extra fee (so no cheating with a high annual fee card or some exclusive condition for example) and have the merchant disclose which. Then the extra fee only appears with cards that charge more.
Or put another way: the list price must be reasonably achievable, but charging more for "extras" (eg. a more expensive card with benefits) is always permitted.
Once you've diverged from the listed price actually being the price you pay, I don't see much value in just keeping is vaguely close but still incorrect. I'd prefer either a completely itemized price or an all-inclusive price to a sort-of-inclusive price.
The best answer is probably a combination of the two: break out the bullshit costs the customer has to pay so that the consumer can see them, but still give them the upfront cost as early in the transaction as possible.
True, and I empathize, but... that difference is basically a spending tax that your card provider has chosen to impose on you. If it helps, instead of a per-transaction cost, consider it packaged together with your cashback, credit points, and the like.
Meanwhile in Australia, it’s illegal (misleading trading) to display a price lower than the customer pays, and has been for a long time. It’s fine; fees etc are disclosed up front.
Right or wrong, that was basically the norm in the US through the 80s and 90s. The item was listed at $10 and you paid $10 plus local sales tax on top. No CC fees. Sometimes you’d see cash discounts (Visa rules at the time prohibited the inverse).
Nah, 'cash price/credit price' was the norm through 1985 when CA passed it's anti-credit price legislation. Then all prices rose to meet the credit-price. Reversed in 2018 by a Federal Court.
That's exactly the problem: people don't want to know how much they're actually paying for banking services. They just want their credit card "rewards."
> What else does anyone (average consumer) use their TV for?
Xbox/Playstation and free over-the-air channels. Great for major & regional sporting events - free ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX - tends to have less of a delay as well (for me anyway)
Pretty sure consoles have all the streaming apps too
Isn't that what a streaming stick is for? Who needs those complex TV remotes anyway. I've been running on Roku remotes for years and haven't missed anything. Even TiVo remotes are too complex.
They shouldn't though honestly. TVs should go back to basically being dumb monitors and the smart features should just come with a box. They can even sell the box as a bundle
But surely you know the TV will have ads, and spyware and screenshots you every few seconds to send to manufactures, and in some cases even has microphones involved?
The apps built into the screen literally meet the definition of trojans which any casual search on most brands would tell you.
All avoidable by plugging in an $20 dedicated source device for streaming or whatever.
No? It's hardly written in the advertising copy for the TV, is it.
This is a technical website with technical users. You are failing to put yourself in the shoes of non-technical, ordinary users who just want to watch Netflix.
> All avoidable
If you know that you should avoid it but people don't.
A nutritionist, a dermatologist, a plumber could all say the same about many of the things we do or don't do day to day. There's only so many free "5 minutes" people have in a day.
Would anyone be able to describe the workflow set up? OP, how are you getting seemingly innocuous prompts to run for so long?
I’d like to improve my skills - I am surely in actual prompt kiddie territory.
But I’ve got a personal injury claim coming up that is very complex, with tons of docs, legal speak, laws, etc. I’m hoping to have a set up like OPs that can go deep for a long time. How do I set that up? (Currently looking at Claude projects for context file storage, and just asking gemini for now to convert pdfs to raw text, and summarize them)
I’ve also got a cheap scanner that throws errors no matter what os/hardware I use. Sounds like a fun thing to throw some time at.
You should be in your project description stating something like I know you are not a lawyer but use your best effort to help me find supporting legal information as by law I am allowed to represent myself.
I did this for a demand letter for a friend who was fired after reporting a sexual harassment claim in California - which is a legitimate duty to investigate.
I have compared Opus 5 High and Sol High for legal advice and I consider the advice infinitely better with Sol. Far fewer hallucinations (zero, in fact, with Sol and the right prompt). The suggested text and responses also felt much less like AI. The research was more accurate with Sol. It's positively German in its attention to detail and thirst for being technically correct. Which is exactly what you want in a legal case. Opus 5 High is more of an ideas guy and is much less concerned with the letter of the law.
Thank you for the suggestion! A lot of troubleshooting later but naps2 helped me confirm the correct error code. Turns out it’s a fatal hardware issue that was hidden through many usb connection error codes.
The set is not anywhere near finalized, and they don’t make any claims close to that. The original fan made set uses a very creative spinning light, and I’m sure that will be built on.
