Nice to see someone taking a swing at a C++ GUI framework. Implementing a real on is not for the weak. If it's really works, it'll be expensive to license.

I got hooked on Pink Floyd's "Momentary Lapse of Reason". Listened to it on a 10 hour drive back home from Houston in my custom VW beetle. It was custom because I "built" it out of several broken down beetles and so it was a tense drive home, checking my car's vitals every so often.

I have never forgotten that long intense drive home, in the summer, with no air conditioning, and playing Pink Floyd on full volume the whole way.

Because of this, "The Wall" has always been Floyd's second best album.

I love this idea, but wonder if it's really more of a missing feature of WhatsApp.

In functionality, kindof, but I'm not funded by China.

Hey HN,

I’m really excited to show off a project I’ve been tweaking and tuning for more than seven months.

One thing that drove me nuts about running LLMs locally was having to use terminals, install Python, and write code for the most basic things. I write software, but I don’t want to have to write it just to use a chatbot. So, I made Wingman with a friendly interface that lets you get started with zero coding or terminals required. It runs on MacOS and Windows, and even evaluates AI models up front to determine if they will run on your machine.

There’s other stuff it does, too, like let you save prompts, set system prompts per conversation, and change AI models mid-conversation. I added a way to sort models by popular or trending. It’s been pretty helpful to me for staying on top of all of the new models dropping.

But it still has a little way to go to be ready for really special things like planning and reasoning. So, I need to get some more feedback from people on different configurations. I’d love it if you checked it out, saw if it was useful, and maybe broke it so I could find fixes.

Thank!

It's all about getting paid by both sides in a dispute.

Who are we paying this money to? It is a massive transfer of wealth, but to whom, and what will all this money be spent on?

The coolest part of this whole discussion is that we can finally compare weed and alcohol.

Before the current weed era, weed was always compared favorably, by smokers, to alcohol with the adage: Weed is illegal, yet I've never seen a bar fight after everyone gets high.

Now we can do a real comparison of the effects of weed smoking on the general public, the same way we've done with drinking.

“Life-saving Drugs are too Inexpensive to Produce”

It’s a ridiculous headline, I know. But, that is the gist of this article. It just doesn’t say so. Pharmaceutical drugs, and the pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated. It is very expensive to comply with drug manufacturing and distribution regulations. Those regulatory expenses are so high that it is simply not profitable enough for any company to produce these cheap generic drugs at a sustainable profit. It doesn’t make sense for a pharmaceutical company to comply with all regulations and make a profit on inexpensive, generic drugs.

The real headline is “Generic Drugs are Over Regulated, Making Them too Expensive to Produce”

…says the atheist, by faith.

Besides, OpenAI dropped all pretense of being open and transparent as soon as they saw how popular their open and transparent technology had become.
