You definitely don’t need 160Mhz bandwidth. Based on other articles on the source blog, it’s something he had and the additional bandwidth let’s you track more spectrum at once.

I believe he wasn't being sarcastic, but instead was trying to illustrate what was meant when you wrote "not uncommon". The question of what "not uncommon" meant in this context was explicitly raised, and nikanj tried to clarify on your behalf.

I'm not sure how you got such a bad read from what he said.

So what you're saying really is that the 3700X had absolutely no issues whatsoever running that game. Yes it's nicer to play in 120fps, but it's not like you couldn't play the game because of the CPU. I know someone who had to upgrade from an older 4-core i7 to a modern CPU because Horizon 5 was actually stuttering. But the CPU "limiting" you when you're comfortably above 60fps, and you aren't playing competitive eSports, is not really a limit, just like how my car accelerating really poorly past 150mph is not really a limit in any real sense of the word.
The DA made the right call.
Boy, articles like this are why I don't use Substack. It's a completely incomprehensible rant that tries conflating embarrassment with sexual assault, racism and queerphobia. I'm never the kind of person to play the "gay card", but this has completely missed the point. Being told that you don't know what Pi means isn't paramount to dealing with any of the aforementioned situations. It just makes you look like even more of a stuck-up idiot who can't sympathize with other people's emotions.

Just be nice. It feels like such a simple ask these days, but for some reason people have to kick and scream the whole way down...

I sincerely hope that this will also happen to Yiddish theatre [1], I am not Jewish but I live in a city (Bucharest) with a strong Yiddish cultural presence in the past and all that looks like it happened in another era. I know that the Holocaust is obviously the most to blame for this, but I also think the state of Israel could (and probably should) have done more to preserve the Yiddish culture in modern times, it looks like they decided to throw it all under the rug and focus in reviving Hebrew.

The concept of 'sharpening the saw', which I (rightly or wrongly, but it works for me) take to mean taking time to stop and think alone about where I am with a [usually work-related] project/mission/goal, draw a line under progress to date, and think about where I'm going now and what's most effective at this stage given present circumstances. Related is the phrase "Plans are worthless, but planning is everything" (attributed to US General MacArthur). Take time to stop, recap, take stock, and plan your next moves. Refresh your thinking.

The other model/technique I've used successfully over the years (or, at least, I think it contributed to the successes, but it's difficult to say with certainty) is affirmations, as brought into common discourse probably most effectively and controversially by Scott Adams of Dilbert fame.

I hear you - the 90s were insane. In the space of six months I went from a factory worker (12 hour shifts, all night-shift, 7 days a week) to a computer lab assistant to a entry-level software developer.

First day on dev job, the owner displays a hodgepodge of Perl code that was originally an open-source thing called MRTG (before network admins heavily modified it), tasked me with porting it from Solaris to Windows NT and using MSVC 5.0 to build the CGI binaries.

Good times were had by all due to the boom money floating around everywhere[1].

I mean, that's your personal opinion on >60 FPS gaming, it's not universally shared. I for one enjoy even single player games at the highest FPS I can get, which is why I have a 1080p 240 hz monitor. If the parent likes their games higher than 60 FPS then to them their 3700x really was a limiter in their enjoyment, something which the 5900x would not be for them.

That stuff is all still there though.
Personally:

- Google Cloud Run (or anything that can run docker)

- SendGrid (but use SMTP only for easy migration)

- Google Workspace (Office/Notion are also cool but I just don't use them often)

- Mainly Go with Python for scripts

- PostgreSQL

- gRPC/Protocol Buffers for API servers

Where possible I try and take on as few dependencies on big cloud services, and always use standard gateways. It makes moving around much easier. Other stuff mentioned here is quite good, but I'll especially recommend https://IndieHackers.com

Energy probably = dopamine levels in this context. Also, what you describe exactly mirrors my experience.
Thinking about it, in the instance of important but esoteric metrics, do you think that the most frequent case has to do with the [expected] ability to impact or exploit it meaningfully? I don't do a lot of work with numbers, but it seems to me that in terms of affectation, those dumb statistics are the low hanging fruit with low investment cost in terms of manipulation, thus yielding "better" results and isolating them to the use case while alienating the complex metrics. It's a lot easier to take a metric that isn't contextually affected than the obverse, and up/downregulate it.

I think my example would be the quasi-metric of the single-sample workup you'd get at a hospital. You get a single datapoint. Compare that to a longer term study where samples are taken at 4 hour intervals. The latter brings up a lot of subsequent questions and has a lot of interconnections with the world at large and the individual's biological characteristics. E.g. getting caught by a train 2/5 days, boosting cortisol and norepinephrine, or low receptor affinity for X, thus producing the illusion of high X levels. As you modify you also complicate with an increasingly large list of rules. Or you just write a script for statins and pat Tom on the ass, noting next visit that serum cholesterol is down.
> I want to mostly focus on development and skip the marketing, pr and other related stuff, hence I am looking for tools to automate/delegate as much as possible.

You should really look at finding a cofounder with those skills then. Every situation is different so I won’t say it’s impossible but you’re going to find it exceedingly difficult in my experience to skip that stuff and build a successful business.

I searched for "BLM rioters attacking vehicle". The first result was an article about a driver being attacked and pulled from their vehicle. The protestors accused the driver of assaulting them before entering the vehicle. The second article was about protestors attacking a driver who attempted to drive through the crowd. All of the rest of the links in the rest of the page were about drivers running over protestors. Perhaps you could provide a link or two to back up your assertion.
Why not start now? Sure there's a lot to get done before landing, but rovers are really helpful once you have landed. Besides, SpaceX's lander certainly has enough room for a rover (mass budget less certain).
> web apps are an entirely different beast.

They are not. They are websites running inside a browser. So, they must respect the browser. If they pretend to be standalone and not care about the browser, it's their own fault, and not the browser's.

And yes. The browser cannot distinguish between your shitty "web app" and a regular site.
That's your ethical call to make, at the end of the day - but I think putting property above human life shows a distinct lack of empathy.
Something like a QX9770 + SLI 680s could use similar power to a 12900k + 4090, which is similar in market positioning as the "halo product" now vs 10 years ago. The difference now is as more and more people who grew up gaming are now in the employed professional category, there are more people looking at what would have been the ultimate top end setups back then.

I don't remember how much exactly they wanted or what was the service name that would resolve this freshly introduced annoyance. Some Apple stuff is more expensive where I live, than in the U.S. but it may have been $25 yearly not $20 monthly.

It pretty much looked like an extortion attempt: Apple blocked my access to owned, legal, lossless music files in their proprietary AIFF format and offered presumably the same music streamed from their servers for a fee.

IIRC this sharing functionality worked until Mojave and became problematic with the introduction of Catalina. It went from being an option in iTunes to being an option in the Sharing menu in System Preferences. It still used DAAP as an underneath technology but became problematic, with browsable but not playable library etc.

Before that, I had an IKE VPN set up from iPhone to home network which allowed accessing music residing on iMac's HDD while biking or hiking, on iPhone with much less storage than music library weight.

The last time the US confronted China in a war, The US was the most powerful military in the World and the Chinese were poorly-equipped infantry. The Chinese pushed the Americans back to the 38th Parallel.

Today, the US taking on China would be like the Japanese of 1942 taking on the US of 1942. The Japanese couldn't replace their losses of ships, planes, etc because they didn't have the manufacturing capacity of the US of 1942. China today is the US of 1942, the US today is the Japan of 1942.

Tesla has demonstrated that their batteries can be removed and replaced in a matter of a minute or two, given the right equipment.

Since the batteries cost an order of magnitude more than a catalytic converter, this could justify criminals developing more sophisticated equipment to pull it off.

Ask HN: How do I gauge the value of stock options that I have been offered?
Throwaway for obvious reason.

I've been working at the current startup for a little more than 4 years and was offered total around 400,000 options. It requires another 4 years to fully vest those 400k options.

We raised totally about $10M and have about 55M shares outstanding. Our current 409A value is $0.07. The company is going to raise series A in the next 15 months.

My cash comp is around $60k. I have another offer at $120k.

Should I stay at current company for options in the next 4 years or should I join the new one (pure cash, no options)?

What questions should I ask the founders to be able to gauge these?
> clothes washers are designed to fail after ~10 years (IIRC, manufacturers design a seal in the tub to slowly disintegrate via your laundry detergent.)

VW answer: this part is non serviceable, whole crankshaft needs to be replaced :D Why is it made out of putty while smaller sprocket (the one taking more force) is still 'working'? Why is it designed not to be replaceable? Good 'old timer/not by the book' mechanic is still able to replace it (heat whole crankshaft, use big hammer). 200K is usually first crankshaft turn/grind, engine block itself is good for >500K easily.
Maybe it's just me, but are all the assumptions made here true?

Does liking a video, watching a TikTok, reading a blog post, catching up with my Instagram feed, etc. really does anything to my dopamine levels?

Have any of these activities really been shown to be bad for my physical or mental well being?

Naively speaking, I personally don't like wasting my time with them, because they don't make me feel accomplished, and because there are other things I actually want to do and often don't do in favor of the ease of wasting time of my phone instead. But none of that implies those activities are bad for me.

People claim there's an addiction to these things, is that true? Is it really that you're addicted to them? Would you suffer real withdrawal were the internet to be out of order for a few weeks?
