I agree that the post is simplistic. A charitable interpretation might be that it's a naive version of the approach advocated by some existential philosophers where you consider that everything that happens to you is "your fault", so you're constantly figuring out ways to make your situation better rather than just giving up, or thinking of ways in which you could have made a situation in the past better so the next time it happens you make a better fist of it. The difficulty is not to think any less of yourself if you fail despite continuing to try. I think the thing that's lacking in this post is that clearly people do care, and if you recognise that you can ask for their help. Even if you approach things as if everything is "your fault", doesn't mean that you can't collaborate with other people to improve your situation.

Ask HN: Is API-first chatbot constructor usefull to anyone
Hey, HN. I have a question for you.

We use our own bot constructor for years. It allowed us to build numerical chatbots and chatbot-based products, mostly for HR.

It's quite simple, has almost none visual interface and has full REST API to create, consume and connect chatbots.

It's not an NLP or AI-based in any way, good old Finite-State-Machine in XML form, with keywords support (with some additional NLP processing like stemming and so on), regex and etc, so you can build entire chatbot by building XML in pure code. You can plug any NLP engine, like MS QnA or Dialogflow if you wish though.

It also provides wide abilities for integration like POST and GET requests, Azure Functions integration, some limited memory, user profiles and string parsing capabilities.

Some messaging capabilities like Push and Broadcast available as well.

I wonder is it worth to make it available to the public? Any thoughts on this?
The 4x spend on research per capita seems to be true. I looked into that before and found that the absolute spend is about $59 billion in the US and probably about $30 billion in the EU [0,1]. With the US population at 327 million and the EU population at 514 million the 1:4 factor seems about right.

But there is another factor which IMO is important: The domestic spend on pharmaceuticals. The US healthcare system seems to be more pharmaceutical friendly. Yearly US spend on pharmaceuticals alone is about $330 billion [2], while yearly EU spend on "medical goods", which I assume to include pharmaceuticals, seems to be only €120 billion [3].

So pharmaceutical spend per capita is also about 1:4 when compared to the EU, not just R&D.

As production usually follows consumption (which is why e.g. every US and EU car producer has domestic factories in China), one could also argue that the high US health care costs are the reason why so many US pharma companies exist.

> If you add multi-threading and multi-core, there is lock contention for every single memory access to update the related counter.

You only have to update the counter when creating (or destroying) new "owning" references that might outlive any other reference to the object. This is a rare operation, and doing it potentially from multiple threads in a way that requires atomic update is even rarer.

> Additionally, if there is a big data structure in use, reaching zero will trigger a cascade deletion events reaching stop-the-world like effect.

This is a side effect of deterministic disposal, of course. And it only happens when freeing up large object subgraphs, not just any and all "large data structures".

Yes, C++ implements reference counting in a non-ideal way. Swift is also quite bad. But one can do better.

Yes, it certainly has some outstanding attributes (e.g. color composition), but it is far from perfect. Small voting buttons and long lines are just the two things that immediately come to my mind.
there should be a tipping point where ray-tracing is more efficient than rasterization

In a previous life I worked for a company that was developing real-time ray tracing products. The founders had this magical algorithm but the catch was that dedicated ray tracing hardware was almost never successful because by the time the dedicated hardware made it to market general purpose processors had caught up.

However, what it seemed like to me was that the founders had developed a blazing fast algorithm that cut a ton of corners. Each time they'd fix an edge case the product got slower. Regardless they were moderately successful and might still be around.

And then there was the time I accidentally nuked all of our internal infrastructure in the middle of a product release demo.

Possibly, depending on your use-case.

I have a VPN, which is there to tie everything onto one network, regardless of what "real" network its attached to.

This means that if I'm out and about I can still push and pull to my local gitserver, or access the home control systems.

I have it on my phone as well, so I can control localnetwork things even if I'm on 4G

But unless you have machines running on different networks, or you want to access internal things from outside your home, running a VPN may be mostly pointless(save for the fun learning).

Nah, that's unfair. It's great for both YC and HN that the HN community gets a reflection of itself like this. I suggested to Victor that he make this post. He originally emailed us to say thanks, but I told him it was all of HN he should thank, and that the community might appreciate his story.

I had offers from both Carleton and Waterloo. I don't regret choosing Carleton.

I watched many friends go to Waterloo and burn out from the intense academic workload. My degree has gotten me into all the same doors, but I was able to take more electives, go on an exchange, just generally enjoy my time more.
We've been using Firebase and one of the issues we had is that methods become "cold": if it's not used for a few minutes, the latency of the next call is unpredictable and could be in tens of seconds. The way Cloud Run is described ('Only pay when your code is running') suggests that it may suffer from it too. Does anyone know if it actually has the problem?

This thread exceeded expectations, and reminds me of a thought I've often had: could we find some way to help HN users meet and support each other in the real world, to make more real connections? Hiring is an important special case of that, but not the whole story. It's also cool when people find friends, kindred spirits, collaborators, investors, and so on. Lots of this goes on and always has, but I wonder if we could catalyze more of it, without getting too formal or nannyistic. I think a lot of creative potential could be activated if more HN users connected with each other. Also, more interesting feedback loops happen when the loop passes between online and offline (as in the OP's case), so it would make HN better too.

I have to give credit to Apple for taking power away from the telcos. They wanted to nickel and dime you for every app and feature. Getting even a dumb feature phone out the door required months of certification and the OS might get an update once in the device lifetime if at all.

Sometimes it takes an 800 lb gorilla (with fresh iPod $$$$$) to take on the other 800 lb gorillas, even if it mostly meant we spent the first 8 years or so paying ridiculous 2-year contracts for "subsidized" $700 phones.
Credit isn’t really what makes a bank. In fact many non banks provide credit (amex isn’t a bank I think). Taking deposits is the key thing. And I understand most fintech use an actual 3rd part bank if they take deposits. And without taking deposits, it is hard to provide cheap long term credit.

I mostly agree with you. As an independent professional, I hate complete ecosystem platforms also. We need composable systems. Not more locked down.

Mendix (https://www.mendix.com) does a lot of that well but as you pointed out it's proprietary.

If we look at history, successful predecessors like C, Java and Python (sorted by difficulty) are all open standards.

I think the next low/no code platform to open their specifications wins the race.

Disclaimer: I've worked for Mendix.

I can't say I understand the continued interest in RPI emulation. A few years back it might have made sense, but small board options are much more varied now.

The Nvidia Jetson Nano seems like a no brainer in the emulation space. It's 90$ with 4GB RAM (vs 70$ for a 4GB Pi4). For that extra Jackson, one gets actual GPU cores with compute support baked in(not to mention mature graphics drivers).

And its not like there is much of a trade-off for those CUDA cores. The Nano is also roughly the same size as a Pi, has that 40 pin header (it even throws in actual PCIe lanes)

I realize emulation is often CPU bound, but having a decent GPU on tap can't hurt.

I don't do small boards, so maybe I am missing something?
For privacy conscious users who have blocked third party cookies for years, this may make evading tracking ever more complicated.

My guess is we will need custom GreaseMonkey scripts that prevent parameters from being appended to URLs so when you click on a link to another site it will not pass tracking information. Generally whenever a tracking network changes these parameters the Greasemonkey scripts will have to be updated whereas in the past you could just block the third party cookies and avoid a lot of the tracking.

As far as I know, Common Clause can be attached to any open-source projects. The main purpose is to prevent cloud providers monetizing from the project without contributing back.

Despite the explanatory comment that was added below the line on the article, this doesn't really seem to be a good use for Blockchain per se.

1/ as long as the translation of the physical asset to a digital asset is vulnerable to attack, blockchain doesn't really add anything above a centralised database. The only time this is not true is if the underlying asset is itself cryptographic in nature.

2/ You could easily scan a QR code which looks the shoe up with Nike, and shows you the provenance. Blockchain doesn't add anything here, and it doesn't prevent you from owning the underlying asset (unless there's some weird licencing contract when you buy a pair of shoes, which I doubt).

This is a fun article, and I’m still reading it, but my immediate thoughts are that

1) self-serve is a relatively new thing enabled by tech.

2) even in 2020 there are still clusters of people who aren’t great at using computers, smart-phones, and apps and prefer doing things in person or on the phone; yeah, you have some older people in there, but there are young people who still do things the old way, because they never had an interest in technology or just don’t know about other options.

3) Health-care and banking aren’t the only industries that don’t have slick self-service portals like Stripe. I’d argue the opposite; only companies built after the advent of recent web tech usually offer that, many of them, in fact, are tech companies.

Think about United Health, this company employs some 300,000 persons. CEOs at both United and Aetna are paid around $20M annual comp. Why does an insurance company need 300k employees? Google itself apparently has around 100k - and they do much more than just pushing paper. Why are these guys paid so much? To resist change perhaps, embrace too big to fail culture, and keep their 300,000 employees employed?

If private industry can seem this wasteful and inefficient, I don’t even want to know about the dark corners of government where people are paid to sit at desks and make photocopies on 30 year old Xerox machines everyday.

In CoreWars, which used assembly-like language to create programs fighting each other, one of the most powerful strategies was to inject a SPL instruction (basically fork) into an enemy program, preferably jumping to the SPL instruction itself. As a result, the enemy program would quickly be split into 64 processes (usual maximum number), so the actual logic would be running at 1/64 speed, bogged down by the dummy processes.

> That's the tricky part especially with sex, you want someone who is good at it, but that typically comes with experience.

My experience is different. Not very extensive, so I don't want to generalize it... but what I've learned is, that experimentation (i.e. systemic approach to exploration) trumps experience. It's true what they say, "every woman is different" (well, maybe not every, but there's a surprising (to me) amount of variance) so what works for one doesn't (necessarily) work for another. I don't think that experience (as in each additional partner) has really given me anything except maybe confidence.

Interestingly I have seen a source of arbitrage in the music/pro audio gear space. If I (in US) go to Thomann music (Germany) many non US origin goods are between 50-80% of the US MAP. Part of this seems to be exchange rate related but it also looks like a company like Thomann has more leverage on price. Even paying the flat 30 Euro shipping and 5-10 dollar foreign currency fee I save about 20-40%. That part infuriates me to the point Im tempted to start an import business.
