ada1981··on Show HN: An API for human-powered browser tasks
And you gaurentee security ie, sending you payment info?

I’d love to try this out as a tool in an intelligent agent flow, and give it the ability to just hire a human and see how it utilizes this.

ada1981··on You can now buy eggs from in-ovo sexed hens
The lives of the hens is also horrific and painful and as soon as they drop in production they are killed.

Just go vegan.

ada1981··on Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis
Seems to be in remission now?

Have you seen function health? It’s now a unicorn.

As far as I can tell, they did a wholesale deal with quest diagnostics, and run your results through ChatGPT and give you supplement / diet recs via a pretty web portal 2x a year for $499.

Claim is it’s 100 biomarkers and would cost avg person $15k retail.

I’m a member and love it.

ada1981··on Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis
as far as tumors go, that one has become fairly benign in the last century.
ada1981··on Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis
I wonder how much of that is directly tied to corn subsidies.
ada1981··on Cancer DNA is detectable in blood years before diagnosis
It could motivate to shift to plant based diet; start meditating; stop drinking; begin regular 5-7 day fasts; etc.

So far no one has taken me up on them.

ada1981··on How to not pay your taxes legally, apparently
I understand you're frustrated, but I think we're talking past each other. You're right that I should clarify my position. When I distinguish between governance and nation-states, I mean that organizing society and providing services doesn't require the specific form of centralized, territorial monopoly on violence that modern states represent.

There are examples throughout history of societies organizing through voluntary associations, mutual aid networks, and decentralized coordination - from indigenous governance systems to modern examples like how communities self-organize after disasters.

You asked me to show how government as a concept is inherently problematic. My point is simpler: the current US system simultaneously funds genuine public goods AND actively harmful policies (military interventions, mass incarceration, etc.). The "all or nothing" framing - that we must accept the whole package or have chaos - seems like a false choice.

My examples of Native Americans and Palestinians weren't cherry-picking bad outcomes - they illustrate systematic patterns of how states expand and maintain power. These aren't unfortunate side effects but core features of how territorial states operate.

I'm genuinely curious about your view: do you think there are any legitimate limits to what a government can do in the name of providing stability and services? Or is any critique of fundamental structures just "extraordinary claims"?

ada1981··on How to not pay your taxes legally, apparently
Whose definition then? Feel Free to show your work so to speak.

All I’ve gathered is you like governments and believe they are inherently good.

I’ve seen little evidence for that throughout history.

Ask the native Americans or Palestinians.

Governance differs from Nation States.

ada1981··on How to not pay your taxes legally, apparently
How do you determine the purpose? Through observed actions or simply your definition?

I've had the opposite experience.
ada1981··on Data on AI-related Show HN posts
Yes. Have been studying this for over 20+ years, and the speed at which things are developing is wild.

We are on the cusp of AGI, the largest development of our species in our history… makes sense this would be increasing in discussion.
ada1981··on U.S. Insurers Are Refusing to Cover Climate Change Risk Zones
It’s almost like the science is real?!

If you deny climate change, you should start an insurance company and make a killing.

Sometimes mob bosses pull up with trucks of stolen goods and hand them out to people too. Doesn’t mean you support the mob.
ada1981··on How to not pay your taxes legally, apparently
Paying any tax supports genocide and other US colonization projects, so not paying is the moral path.
ada1981··on OpenAI charges by the minute, so speed up your audio
We didn’t think to publish it; it actually seemed so obvious I assumed it was a widely known thing.

We were developing an AI that processes someone’s Instagram profile (reels, comments, etc.) and provided insights and realized we could 2x the audio to cut time and costs.

ada1981··on OpenAI charges by the minute, so speed up your audio
Oh I wasn’t trying to take credit for it, we just discovered we could do this last month and assumed it was widely known and implemented it.

I could find a screen shot of our internal texts I suppose, but we didn’t publish anything on it.

ada1981··on US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders
This from actual authors of the study on what they found:

“The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”

ada1981··on US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders
There is some compelling research from Princeton that for 90%+ of the American voting population, there opinions have zero impact on federal policy. It's all lobby driven money.

“The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”

And they actively vote against the will of their constituents 35% of the time. http://promarket.org/2017/06/16/study-politicians-vote-will-...

Curious if this is helpful.

I had Claude rewrite the documentation for silenceremove based on your feedback.

ada1981··on OpenAI Charges by the Minute, So Make the Minutes Shorter
We discovered this last month.

There is also prob a way to send a smaller sampler of audio at diff speeds and compare them to get a speed optimization with no quality loss unique for each clip.

ada1981··on Show HN: EchoStream – A Local AI Agent That Lives on Your iPhone
Thanks!

I’m trying to create something that will run online when connected, run local when offline, and dynamically download relevant files to prepare for offline use.

ada1981··on Show HN: EchoStream – A Local AI Agent That Lives on Your iPhone
Do you have any insight / resources into developing a local AI?

I have a novel use case as a wilderness first responder and am looking for a pathway.

ada1981··on Maximizing Battery Storage Profits via High-Frequency Intraday Trading
If anyone is interested in Batteries, I highly recommend following NAATBATT.org on LinkedIn and joining their newsletter.

Obama set this org up as a senator to help bring lithium ion batteries supply chain to the US and it since evolved into the trade association for all things batteries.

ada1981··on Toxic Origins, Toxic Decisions: Biases in CEO Selection
I initially misread this to say that CEOs born in super fund sites had some sort of genetic change that caused them to be riskier due to environmental toxins.
ada1981··on Show HN: PostLayer – Social media scheduling for startups (postlayer.co)
Does it create posts or remix content for other platforms?

How does it compare to Blaze.ai?

We are an agency so can we group different accounts? Ie run multiple clients on it?
