You might be and I hope there are no hard feelings about me launching such a tool but as I mentioned this is something I wished existed when I had to go through this process and while I understand charging more because it's a niche market, my set up was quite "simple" and I think it can help solo indie entrepreneurs in the same situation. This is not my main business and the lower price should attract customers now and help us understand different set ups which might need a custom solution and a custom price. On your last paragraph are you suggesting a partnership? If so you can contact us through the website.

Kind of off-topic, but I've always thought a good way to suss out what sort of background somebody comes from is to ask them to visualise $1million dollars.

People from a "working class" background tend to see a massive pile of money, more middle class, a smaller pile, upper class maybe a cheque or a small stack of $100 bills or a bank transfer.

It's maybe one of the weirdest parts of the JBR ransom note (getting really off-topic now), "$118,000 dollars be placed into an "adequately sized attaché" consisting of $100,000 in $100 dollar bills and $18,000 in $20 dollar bills."

That would take up a really small amount of space, but if you're never seen that amount of money you might not know that (especially in 1996, pre-internet)

> that's what they're actually named

...by what authority? c'mon, communication is important, and insisting on the correctness of definitions tanks that.

EDIT: however, I will concede there's good evidence for widespread usage of this, and I'll adjust my usage accordingly. Insisting on "correctness" is just asinine, though.

Yes, it's difficult to find someone with both the skills and the machinery. And contrary to software, bad g-code in a CNC mill can easily cause $100k+ in damages if, for example, the spindle head crashes into a solid steel block ... Which is why they will not let outsiders do the programming, even if you think you could do it.

I think it’s more of the latter. We’ve already seen others beat them in their own game. Only for them to come back with a new model.

In the end, this is the same back and forth that Apple and Sun shared in the late 90s or Meta and Google in 2014. We could have made non-competes illegal today but we didn’t.

That looks great for 2D engraving setups. Or for cutting parts out of sheet wood/plastic/metal. But based on the videos, I don't think this is suitable for 5-axis milling yet.

Also, in the video where you cut out the circular logo coin:

https://youtu.be/mGd7EIkCK3g?feature=shared&t=108

it looks to me like you're using a metal cutter bit (with corncob grinding surface) on wood. You might get a lot less burr (that furry stuff on the sides of cuts) by using an asymmetric one-blade bit. They look weird, but they'll cut the wood fibers with a carbide blade instead of trying to rub them off with diamond fragments. You usually want separate tiny chips coming off the material. If it starts stringing - like in the video - then usually it's either the wrong bit or too fast spindle speed (and material melting rather than cutting).

The Turing test isn't dead. The true Turing test is a thought experiment, and it's not something that can be replicated in the real world.

Given enough time and interaction, you can still spot a person on Discord being faked by an LLM—at the very least, something will feel off. This is even more true in a formal, knowing, adversarial setting.

Yeah, most jigsaw puzzles do not have precisely the number of pieces advertised. Here's an amusing video (by the channel Stand-up Maths) that does a deep dive into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXWvptwoCl8

TLDR if you don't have a half-hour: puzzles are usually cut with the pieces on grids, and not all aspect ratios are conducive to that with all piece counts. Like, you might want a 2:3 shaped puzzle with 500 pieces, and 18x28=504 is close enough.

You put the acid in the hive, in an evaporator. The air in the hive then becomes acidic enough to burn through the exoskeleton of the mites. Technically it also damages the exoskeleton of the bees, but that's thick enough that the bee doesn't notice. You normally do this over a period of 14 days in late summer, early autumn. As the other commenter points out formic acid is also an option.

For brood control, you have two options. One is to insert special frames in the hive, these are designed to encourage drone brood to go in those frames. Mites (Verrora) attack drone brood more as the cells are bigger and can better accommodate the mites. So you concentrate the mites in those frames. Then every week you remove 1/3 of those frames and discard it. That's normally enough to keep the mites at bay. The second option is to trap the queen, she stays in the hive, but she's restricted from moving around and laying eggs, i.e. you keep her away from the cells in the frames. A brood cycle is 28 days, but mites don't live that long. Without any new brood continuously cycling, they can't reproduce as they mature in the brood cells. The down side is obviously a large temporary drop in you bee population, meaning less pollination, and less honey. I don't know many who do this, but from what I'm told it is very effective. I my guess is that you probably only want to do this to fairly strong/highly populaces hives.

The acid and drone frames are normal practise, carried out by all beekeepers. Minus those who experiment with breeding mite resistant bees.

So the hive is never empty, you just create an environment that's harmful to the mites. Either by being to acidic or not providing a place for their eggs to hatch.

Over the past 40+ days, we’ve formally notified 35+ leading AI organizations and ethics leaders—including OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta, OECD, and others—about a deployed, legally protected AI ethics framework designed to prevent AI harm and hallucinations. Designed for current and future AI/AGI implementation of ethics.

No one responded. It’s been weeks.

Their silence is now permanent public record on the Internet Archive.

This isn’t negligence. It’s a willful avoidance of responsibility and AI safety.

Why? Because it threatens UNETHICAL mass-profit.

The AI Jobs and Ethics crisis isn’t coming—it’s already here and it has been.

For weeks.

If you care about your future, your children’s future, your life — this is your moment to demand safety and jobs from AI leaders.

Thanks to author for doing some solid work in providing data points for modules. For those like me looking for the headline metric, here it is in the conclusion

While the evidence shown above is pretty clear that building a software package as a module provides the claimed benefits in terms of compile time (a reduction by around 10%, see Section 5.1.1) and perhaps better code structure (Section 5.1.4), the data shown in Section 5.1.2 also make clear that the effect on compile time of downstream projects is at best unclear.

So, alas, underwhelming in this iteration and perhaps speaks to 'module-fication' of existing source code (deal.II, dates from the '90s I believe), rather than doing it from scratch. More work might be needed in structuring the source code into modules as I have known good speedup with just pch, forward decls etc. (more than 10%). Good data point and rich analysis, nevertheless.

First "vibe Engineering", now "context Engineering". Support for these kinds of posts is overwhelming.

In both cases, it seems programmers are feeding generative AI models to the extent that their involvement is minimal or almost redundant, making what they do seem trivial and devaluing their own work.

> That is actually reality

No, it is just yet another incomplete view of reality. For example, where are the infrared wavelengths in that scan? How can you say "that is reality" if it doesn't include that information? You might argue there are no true views of reality, that all views of reality are only some incomplete interpretation of it.

We see only some minimal set of what is necessary for us to see in order to survive with just enough certainty that we haven't gone extinct.

20 years ago before there were as many erosions of personal privacy and before I realized how important privacy was, I thought of a similar system to detect counterfeit money.

Scan it and upload the serial to a database. If that serial has been registered somewhere else, before a plane could possibly transport it there, flag both registers to inspect that bill.

If the serial has already been registered as counterfeit, refuse the currency.

If the serial was not issued by the US mint, refuse the currency.

This would have the adverse effect of flagging valid currency too, but this could be worked around. I think it would make counterfeit much harder and have very little technical cost, since reading the denom and serial is trivial.

Ehh, this take feels ungenerous to me. You don't have to believe a private firm is a holy order for it to benefit from a culture filled with "we believe this specific project is Important" people vs "will work at whatever shop drops the most cash" people.

Mercenaries by definition select for individual dollar outcomes, and its impossible for that not to impact the way they operate in groups, which is generally to the group's detriment unless management is incredibly good at building group-first incentive structures that don't stomp individual outcomes.

That said, mercenary-missionaries are definitely a thing. They're unstoppable forces culturally and economically, and that could be who we're seeing move around here.

> Ask a casino. You can have 3 people count something and come to a different figure off by a few percent.

That seems a wildly unlikely idea: Despite having three people checking sums, their daily profits have a few percent unknown variability in them.

Banks of old would famously make their tellers stay late to track down rather trivial discrepencies, probably as a deterrent to carelessness.

You seem to be writing off all HN devs as a homogenous mass and claiming that (a) they think that they will lose their jobs and (b) that that is welcome.

Plenty will disagree with one or both of those.

Unless you are here to start a fight, consider a more nuanced question, for a relatively broad audience.

(FWIW I disagree with you on both.)

> You don’t need a shopping cart either. Just make the user write down the skus from your online catalog and send you a purchase order.

I think this is a way to do it, I had thought also of such a thing before. You can send a "computer payment file" which includes the product ID numbers (and parameters if applicable), the total price that the customer expects to pay, a signature, and encrypted data for use with the bank or credit card company (or some specification of store credit, if you are using that instead).

The existing use of "shopping cart" cookie can still be available as an alternative as well though, in case you do not want to use (or cannot use) the "computer payment file"; then it can provide its UI but you can also use your own if you have your own implementation.

> Adding a language select option on a multinational site seems pretty table stakes in my experience. Plenty often the user does not wish to use the same language as their system/browser. Switching your system’s default language just for one site is a huge hassle.

This is true. However, it would also be helpful to be able to change the settings (including languages, and HTTP request headers) per URL prefix, which would also be another way. This does not mean that the setting cannot also be available as a cookie, which will override the Accept-Language header if both are present in the request.

There is also user authentication; cookies are not really the best way to do that either. I think X.509 client certificates are a better way. However, other methods can still be provided for compatibility for users who do want to use it.

And then, there is more other stuff too, they can also be done in other ways.

Note that all of the above stuff means that many things can work with JavaScripts and cookies disabled (or unavailable), but enabling them will provide a way of working that does not require these other things too.
