For what it's worth I actually like the Vatican's take on AI. I hope they keep this perspective and don't allow OpenAI/Anthropic to influence. I think you're right this is more of a publicity stunt on the tech side.

Their Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference was interesting for me. Worth reading their others!

I immediately thought this was an update by Deepset and their Haystack framework. https://haystack.deepset.ai/

Just FYI.

I've always been curious about creating a collective pool of money - from subscriptions for something like this. The user only pays if they break their focus. Could even redistribute the pot to those who last at the end of the month/week / whatever.

One of our clients is a procurement marketplace. One of the current struggles we face is getting vendors to upload catalog details for each product, which our marketplace needs to populate for a better shopping experience. Would your API assist us with filling in those gaps on products? (think common office products, industrial equipment etc). The caveat is that we can only show products from specific compliant vendors.

joloooo — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 17:27:07 +0000

Interesting article. I have always viewed Benzene as a bogeyman of sorts. My parents both interacted with it often throughout my life. My dad was a chemical engineer for an oil company, and he often spoke of spills and incidents. As a kid, I never understood what it was, but the tone and urgency were always something scary.

I also strongly suspect my mother's Benzene exposures (nurse cleaning lab slides with Benzene and no PPE) led to me battling Langerhans Histiocytosis throughout my childhood.

Regardless of dog ownership, it sounds a bit ego-centric to think that life is solely about leaving a legacy and assuming your kids are there solely to care for their parents in old age.

Tetris Effect is also a great example of this. Each movement and rotation of pieces impacts the score and each level has varied genres. One of my favorites is the New York City Jazz level.

Thanks for the recs,

Mindware by Andy Clark is also a great book on these topics.

I'm in the same boat as you around Sonos. Find any alternatives that you're considering that aren't HomePod?

I agree, I was primarily attracted to the modularity and magnetic features. Luckily, only $150 of 2019 money.

I bought a magnetic keyboard recommended on HN back in 2019. I was underwhelmed by it. Mostly because it was the Keystone and is still listed as "under production" on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lekashman/keystone-the-... . I still hold out on hope that one day, it will magically arrive.

I think there is a difference from people upset around over hyped LLMs and arguing about intelligence in "A.I.". Most of the "intelligence" arguments I've seen are fighting against putting too much stock in chatgpt and Sam's fever dreams.
