Prices for HP-48’s are through the roof these days. However HP-50’s are not loved currently despite being the same rpn/lisp/graphing calc software just with much faster processors - they are the much better buy right now and can be had under £50.

My 50g is one of the most convenient ways to check my arithmetic when it comes to dates and hours calculations.

I think overall though, these are a relic and the best way forward i’m aware of today are the “mathemtics notepad” type applications that reimagine what a calculator looks like on a desktop.

At the cli i get more mileage out of gnu units than i’d have thought…
I have trouble with the value proposition. If I understand correctly only the noise-cancelling toggle is a proprietary Bluetooth feature of the Bose? Since f.e. Toothfairy[1] also handles the connection of -all- BT devices for your mac (not only Bose headphones), shows battery info and is $ 5.99.

As parents, we do currently put limits (TV, phone games, etc) but I question the validity of the approach all the time. As a kid I had mostly no limits on anything... Could I have built better discipline with limits? Maybe... Or maybe I would just resent my parents more. It's hard for me to tell from my perspective.
> In July of 2019, Microsoft invested a billion dollars, which allowed OpenAI to create a supercomputer with two hundred and eighty-five thousand C.P.U. cores, ten thousand G.P.U.s, and four hundred gigabits per second of network connectivity per server.

> Gupta imagines the product turning into a resource that writers will pay fifteen to twenty dollars per month to use.

That seems like a great deal to sublet some portion of all those resources.
It's disingenuous to proclaim that this is the only meaning - every person and culture that uses rings in this way applies their own meaning to it.

That said, when I was deciding whether or not I, as a male, wanted a wedding ring, this was exactly the reason that convinced me. I got married much younger than average and liked the idea of being visible "'off the market' and belongs to someone else."
Thanks for reporting the bug. I was able to reproduce it, will be fixed with the next release (very soon).

Regarding the slogan or phrase; it's a start, I am getting a lot of feedback here and on other channels. Will come up with something better to get the message across. Also, the landing page will be redesigned to help understand the product better.
I don't think free/paid/donationware matters. There are plenty of both free and paid utilities around for working with AirPods, but they're not from "Appel".

Your comment proves the point on marketing; diamonds are not actually that rare, a lot of the scarcity is marketing plus control of supply by De Beers & others.

In fact, Diamonds are some of the most common gems in nature!

I’ve never heard of the federal government requiring flood insurance for your own property, house or otherwise. Is there a source where I can read about this?

All I can find is this:

https://www.floodsmart.gov/flood-insurance/requirements

>Homes and businesses in high-risk flood areas with government-backed mortgages are required to have flood insurance.

Which makes sense. I've never seen a government requirement for insurance for a loss only the asset's owner will incur.
It’s not just tricky and elusive, I think it’s literally unknowable -- not a well-defined question. Like asking about the simultaneity of disconnected events in special relativity.

The current narrative is more along the lines of, "How much work should your fiancee spend on declaring his commitment to you?" The societal answer is at least two months. Salary is the convenient measure for this. The ring is the communication medium.

Lugg (YC S15) Is Hiring Engineers (React, Rails, Remote)
Armchair strategizing on the topic I know nothing about (but it's fun to think about!):

Constraints:

- C removal requires lots of energy (can't avoid thermodynamics)

- electricity on that scale is either expensive, dirty, or both

Additional concerns:

- cheap/clean energy is intermittent (and still a small percentage)

- excessive electricity is as bad as not enough electricity

Solution:

- build lots of new (safe and cheaper) nuclear power plants

- hook them up to the grid and use them as peakers (!), and using them for C removal on off-times

This:

- provides cheap and clean (from the perspective of C footprint) energy

- solves the intermittency problem of wind/solar

- provides abundant energy for C removal

Assumption: that safe nuclear fission power plants (using Thorium, MSR, .. reactors) are feasible and can be built on the cheap (for some value of "cheap")
Ask HN: Resources on application data preloading and caching strategies?
Intuitively it seems to me that the major issue with perceived slowness of large business applications (such as CRM systems) is the absence of any pre-loading / caching of data for the user.

In my experience most users only work on a small subset of data and work on the same or similar records and processes every day, so I'd be interested to have the application learn what subset this is for a particular user or group of users and then do 'pre-emptive' loading to increase the responsiveness of the application and improve the user experience.

If I want to avoid re-inventing the wheel, what are some good resources that deal with strategies on how to achieve this? What are common pitfalls?
Another thing about new domains is that sometimes they can get caught up in spam filters.

I already suspected that reliably sending an email from an .xyz domain is very difficult, but I learned the hard way that that lots of enterprise filters also block emails that contain links to any domain ending with .xyz, so we had to use something less fancy, so a longer .com was it.
Probably because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_Design_Inc.
Also consider that tech addiction is currently quite normalized IMO.
You've forgotten the most common hardware security module, of which there are billions: the SIM. Good luck putting a keyboard on that.
My (now) wife picked out her engagement ring on Etsy. It's an antique ring with a sapphire gem. Of course that took away some of the surprise from the proposal, but we were of the opinion that the fact one wants to get married shouldn't be a surprise. And the time/place of the proposal can still be somewhat of a surprise, or at least special.
I was seeing that too. I switched to a different browser and it started showing the whole article. It was very confusing--I thought for a minute that the article just ended there as some sort of cruel joke about a person that doesn't give interviews.
> Your opinion on this matter is not particularly important

Feeling sorry for the people that go in a marriage with those kind of sentiments about their partner, or about relationships/marriage in general.
it was never technology, it was ideas and society (social norms). But tech makes it so much easier to over power evolutionary aspects that really shouldn't be overwhelmed. Porn. Guilt. Comparison. etc. Not an easy problem at all. But finding no link seems incredulous.
It's a resource curse.
> Mating discrimination was shown to be real.

Mating discrimination is real, but redefining "attractive" mates isn't just a single mutation that is implied in survivors like regular "survival of the fittest".

Redefining behavior of a specifies is a hell of a lot more complicated, especially if it's not just a simple matter of making presence of a certain smell a turn-off.

> Theorizing is great.

And all we can do for a few years until we get the most recent results, all we can do to interpret them, and all we can do to iterate on them.
Thank you. I am glad you like it. I will continue to develop it (do nodejs library, add more options etc.). what you said is not there at the moment. but I will add. Even you can do it and make pull request :)
Yes, although one isn’t necessarily causative of the other.
> In western culture

This phenomenon has to be more localized than Western culture (the worldwide diamond consumption hints at it being US-specific?) - I for example don't know anyone who even contemplated buying one for proposing. Granted, this is purely anectotal, but over extended family and workplace colleagues this includes a bunch of milieus.
I think about this but then I remember the massive amount of time I spent playing the original Nintendo and watching cable TV.

That basically changed when I got basic dial up and a computer which I spent a lot of time disassembling and rebuilding both at the hardware and software level.

So today my kids play roblox, minecraft and watch youtube. And they do this while facetiming their friends. My kids will build crazy boats and structures in both roblox and minecraft.

They have zero interest in regular tv as far as I can tell. They'd rather watch people play roblox/minecraft or mashups of the simpson's on youtube then tv.
I read the GP's comment as referring to 55+-year-old "older execs"—Boomers, basically—and late-20s to mid-40s "younger employees". Those are the ones with families.

I can see a certain subset of recent college grads and young techbro-types who would want to be in the office so they can hang out with each other, but it's definitely the boomer and older gen-X crowd who believe that it's only "real work" if it's done sitting in a cubicle where your boss can loom over your shoulder any time he wants.
Every Norwegian needs this illusion(Or livsløgn as Ibsen would have said) to sustain the idea of belonging to a nation that is up to something good.

Reality is that Norway is increasingly subsidizing it's oil industry in a way that is not sustainable - especially not economically.

Instead of investing in the future Norway is investing in old dying industries - our Corona package contains almost no investments in sustainable technologies even thought the economy is heading for a hard shock the next time the oil price takes a dive.

Reducing demand and reducing supply both help in getting the CO2 emissions down. A good start would be to just stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry.
Everyone who's ever wanted to play it already played it and probably on more platforms than one. Its value for the Epic store is mainly that of a trophy title.

Just as an anecdote, I do remember raging as a kid (5-6) when I was failing to build a Lego properly, and then being extremely quiet (concentrated) while playing Counter-Strike for (too many) hours as a teenager. But I get your point :)

I think it takes time and practice for people to acquire emotional stability. It can also be domain-specific. As in, you can have a lot of patience solving technical problems, but not a lot of patience dealing with people (or vice versa). Some of it perhaps is transferable, but I'm not sure to what extent.
Trees? am I not seeing the obvious here? A forest sounds nice. Also algae? Eats tons of carbon, generates most of our o2.
Someone should pay celebrities to wear specific jewelry with lab created stones to galas and awards ceremonies. Then resell the pieces, or even just the stones, at a premium since they were worn by <insert story here>.

Then folks would be buying something ethical and more glamorous. Maybe philanthropic donations could be associated to revitalize areas hurt by the diamond industry to further tell a story for the celebrities and consumers.

Why Physics Has Relevancy to Artificial Intelligence
To be honest, I wonder more how did anyone ever get this idea? Looking at whois records for my personal .org domains, some of them have been registered since 2003 (I also have a .net from 2002): I was a student back then!

I guess the fact that I was heavily involved in open source (where every single project used .org domain if available) never made me think they were in any more "reputable" than eg. .com.

So, how did anyone ever get the notion that they were restricted to non-profits? I know that "choosing your domain name" guides at the time mentioned how .org is a good candidate for non-profits, but how did that evolve into "only registered non-profits can get a .org domain"?

The waste fuel is a small component. The overall waste stream from a reactor of everything that's too contaminated to reuse normally is larger.

Ironically nuclear accidents are not too bad for the natural environment compared to, say, petrochemical accidents - it's humans they are really bad for with their array of bioaccumulative poisons.
(might not add much) But this has been my experience as well. People like to point out that CAD has better social support than US - fine, a paycut may balance out there. But that's nowwhere near the differential I get here in the UK _plus_ the social support here has been far superior to CAD.

I interview with CAD companies from time to time and make a point of stating salary/equity requirements on par with the leading global market. Once they match, I'll be back.
Does windows have super button to move and resize. Also im way more used to x style focus on hover. Windows is missing this.
I wonder how YouTube's power consumption in transcoding the most useless / harmful videos relates to Bitcoin's power consumption. Maybe even every video should be included in the calculation, since Bitcoin also has its positive aspects.

I've never heard about how much power YouTube's transcoding is consuming, but transcoding has always been one of those very CPU-intensive tasks (hence it was one of the first tasks to be moved over to the GPU).

Hello HN! We are Nishith and Deepa and we built Listener as an easy way to bookmark the important moments of your Zoom calls in real time and turn long recordings into short video clips.

Last year while working on another product, we were doing customer interviews on Zoom. We were recording all these meetings, but then what? It was simply too painful to go back and rewatch those one hour long recordings to get to that one point that we wanted to share or remember. That was the genesis of Listener.

We quickly built a proof-of-concept but it took a while to refine the flow and make it a seamless experience. Now you can easily integrate Zoom with Listener, host a Zoom meeting, record it and start live bookmarking on Listener in a small browser window alongside Zoom. Behind the scenes, Listener processes the live video stream coming from Zoom, transcribes it and creates 20s short clips around your bookmarks. Later on, editing these short clips is as easy as editing a word doc.

It’s currently on the web and the one constraint right now is that it works only with paid (pro/business/etc) Zoom accounts. This is because we are using Zoom’s live streaming feature to receive the video stream. We are working simultaneously on an electron based desktop app to support the free Zoom users who are recording meetings on their computer, but our desktop app is still quite raw. Let us know in the comments here if the support for the free Zoom account is important to you and we will prioritise it accordingly.

And if you are curious, the web app is built using the MERN stack plus GraphQL and Elasticsearch. Our transcript+video-editor is built with SlateJS. We are using Gatsby and Strapi for the marketing pages.

Listener is free for a month and we are personally onboarding new users. We'd love to get some feedback on whether you would find this useful or if there are any general comments or concerns.
A good reason for that is the changed shape and keyboard, which disfavors RPN and mimics contemporary casio calculators (even docs have strange preference for mentioning algebraic mode first).

The large enter of hp-48 and earlier RPN calculators makes way more sense, especially if you're going to do anything fast. TBQH, I'd love a hp-50g internals (or better) in hp-48gx case :)
No you don't.

They must pay $1.4K in electricity because the prices are fake.

Plus the cost of traditional power-generating capacity goes on top of this glutonous solar project.
For some reason accessibility is still considered an advanced skill. But then, for some reason, most developers still cannot manage HTML without monumental help even though the dynamic client-side web is 25 years old.
A distinct lack of comments and upvotes in that subreddit.
We just got out first “fake” diamond.
It is not perfect, it does have bubbles in it (s1), so the idea that lab grown diamonds are all flawless is just not true.
The price was what reeled us in. My wife in inherited two diamond earrings from her mother that were fairly large, also my wife has three piercings in each ear. Buying a property sized natural diamond was way, way, too expensive. We tried to look for a zirconia or crystal that would match the set, but nothing sparkles like a diamond; well the lab grown diamond just fist right into the set like a long lost sibling.
What made my wife finally be ok with the lab grown diamond, in her mind, was that the gems and the gold were not what made the jewelry valuable to her. They are valuable because they were her mother’s. When my son, or his kids, eventually get our jewelry I hope that the value is the same for them for their sentiment and not their spot price.
The lab grown diamond will be just as durable and beautiful as the natural ones. And, I would not be unhappy if the price of diamonds drops to be as cheap as a pebble.
In the old days buying a calculator with basic meant it went to IT departmemt abd it is me who has to handle the request. Found it funny to deal with hundreds of IBM PC purchase and this one Casio. Still remember how annoying the user is, why I have to see you, write justification and go through approval process for a bloody computer whilst my boss you help him to buy so many PC!

Never saw a lisp one though. Interesting where one can get one for old Tim sake.

Did you tell them you could build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem?
Sure, but random change is different from what we do. That's not random, it's deliberate and usually ends up in a disaster.

Natures status quo tends to be quite robust absent discontinuous changes. If one season there was a bit less rain, population sizes adjust and everything keeps working. A bit warmer, a bit windier, etc, continuous effects are dealt with in some robust manner.

Only when there are discontinuous changes then dramatic things happening. A meteor impact is such an event, some island gets reachable and suddenly flooded by some species, this kind of thing. But in nature such events are rare. Humans introduce such event all the time. Instead of an island getting reachable, we drive between them with boats or bring animals as pets or plant some nice flower from a different continent that gets invasive. Or modify genes or burn up millions of tons of coal.

We humans introduce those events at a massive scale, which is an entirely different quality than random changes in nature.
Again, you are presenting (In Canada AND Bright) as a rarity, something very unusual to see in reality. This is offensive to the many many bright people in this country and it does not match the reality.
This definitely seems the most feasible. Sure, plants aren't particularly efficient, but they're also self-reproducing and self-maintaining, which is a huge bonus.

One interesting approach with plants is to pyrolise them to make biochar - essentially turn them to charcoal. You get a bit of hydrocarbon gas out of them, which you can sell to pay the bills (this is the biggest problem with any carbon capture - there's basically no way to pay the bills), and then you bury the pure carbon that you're left with.

I did a bit of research on this a while back and wrote up the calculations here:https://concretecuts.xyz/articles/biochar

Essentially we'd need to devote quite large amounts of land towards this if we wanted to compensate for our current emissions - something like 66% of the world's forests would need to be periodically cut down, with around 1% cut down and pyrolised each year.

You could probably get some easy wins with existing wood and crop waste - by my estimate we could capture 3% of global emissions just by pyrolising Europe's existing biofuel feedstocks.

> Checking the result is good shouldn't be too hard - a simple spot check of a few frames should be sufficient, and it isn't like the uploader gets a massive advantage for uploading corrupt files.

Uploading corrupt files could allow the uploader to execute code on future client machines. You must check every frame and the full encoding of the video.
I can see this with Covid vaccines. It is already starting with insurance companies. Negative genetic values are always culled.
You can modify the question to be well-defined and not suffer those measurement problems, eg "the total number of videos uploaded before midnight UTC on 2021-04-29"
I agree with everything you've said here (especially "MegaMagicSync+"). But why is it such a mess? Was it added to the spec late? Or maybe because manufacturers implement it as an afterthought and don't bother testing it. They seem to get the regular part of HDMI mostly right. Although now that I say that I remember having problems with HDMI switches in the past...

It's probably too late for HDMI-CEC, there are too many crappy pieces of hardware out there. I'm just wondering what stops this from happening next time. It's a great system when it works and so much better than trying to reverse engineer other protocols. Just a shame that it's so bad it doesn't even get a mention in a post like this where it should have been the perfect solution.
