The price point of Kagi is anywhere from $120/yr to $240/yr, based on their current FAQ.

Let's say they manage to take just 1% of Google's daily search traffic, which based on a quick Google search (hah) would be about 35 MILLION search queries. If we do a very very rough ballpark estimate of 50 queries per user, per day, it would be about 700,000 unique users... or between 84,000,000 and 168,000,000 USD/year gross revenue.

Now, do I think it's reasonable to expect them to take 1% of Google's search traffic anytime soon? Probably not. I do however think that the sheer size of this market means there is a LOT of missed opportunity by the incumbents in the market that can be leveraged to create niche products that perform successfully by any other market's standards.

So, even if the HN bubble is small there are other bubbles out there. A LOT of other bubbles out there.
Looking at your third link about diagnosis in adults (which I think is most relevant to the discussion here), it provides a good overview of why overdiagnosis would be bad and how to potentially avoid it, but it doesn't actually try to answer the question Is Adult Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Being Overdiagnosed? I think it's fair to use this paper as evidence that some psychiatrists are concerned that overdiagnosis may be happening, but not as evidence that it actually is happening.
This is wonderful, and I also wonder how it compares cost-wise to maintaining AEDs in a distributed fashion. I know where my nearest defib is, and I know roughly how much it cost to install (Chf 2000) and maintain (Chf 200 / yr). What I don't know is how many fixed points like that could be replaced by one drone, even if it cost a lot more.

Also, most places in my village, it would be a 5 minute trip from my house to a patient. If I was dispatched towards a patient, would the AED arrive on their driveway before/with me?

So many questions.
It's crazy how much I enjoy simple software. No crazy complicated APIs and complex installs. Just give me a binary I can call with a command line interface. I can play with it interactivity and easily automated whenever needed.

The only way I know of to send >$1m+ is wire transfers and they don’t work on weekends or to send to many countries, and they can take a day or more to clear.

Also, you the recipient needs to have a bank account and it needs to be in a jurisdiction that’s friendly with the US.
My guess is that a lot of casual programmers are like inventors. Not for everyone. To invent material devices means finding or making a lot of unusual physical parts. A computer language already has the parts. Like music, cars, math, painting, a working program either scratches the itch or it doesn't. Be careful of a program you could keep improving forever. Danger, Will Robinson!!
Seriously impressive! Great performance, too, from what I can see, and no `console.log` spam :)
Ironically, the cosplay space has this covered. They have portable battery powered air conditioners connected to astronaut-style onesies-with-coolant-pipes.

Unfortunately they're still manually assembled, so not quite readily available yet.

I read that the first time as "no data is shared with verifiers", rather than "no data is shared with Equifax", but on a closer reading I believe you're correct: the data stays with QuickBooks until Equifax receives a request and they forward that request to QuickBooks. So they're not shipping data to Equifax en masse.

That somewhat mitigates the concerns of data being lost in another Equifax data breach assuming that Equifax only fulfills requests from verifiers that have received my express consent, and assuming that consent doesn't become mandatory for employment (which is the subject of the larger discussion on this thread).

Right, which would indicate that they have more or less given up on appealing to ruby devs specifically. I work at a ruby only shop and we are the same way. I would say only about 30% of the candidates I interview have any ruby experience and of those, maybe 50% have recent experience.

We would prefer to hire talented ruby devs, but they just aren't there.

"Woke" is a word, which describes/refers to a concept. The use of the word may be culturally and temporally specific (and that usage, like all use of language, may change over time), but the concept is one found in many different cultures and communities across time and space - put simply and broadly, the notion that one needs to "wake up" or "awaken" to what is actually happening. There are ways of describing this in many different languages. So while the current use of the word "woke" within the US may indeed be traced back to the African American community, the concept/idea has a much longer and broader history than that.
I'm not finding an excuse. I'm just accepting that my lifestyle is a huge source of carbon emissions. I'm also accepting that the last time the earth was more-or-less carbon neutral was prior to the industrial revolution. No one is clamoring for a return to that type of lifestyle, especially because doing so would require a massive decrease in the population. You can rattle your saber about Bitcoin all you want, but it's not going to change reality: there is no way to sustain this many humans with our quality of life and be carbon neutral, let alone negative.
I wasn't aware of this and I'm glad to see they're doing it. But my guess is this is a relatively recent offering in response to the AWS version and the issues I was mentioning.

In Minneapolis, they have skyways between large buildings so you're not exposed to the elements in the winter when moving between buildings. I imagine we’ll see similar in hotter climates (underground where the geography supports it, aboveground where not), with folks avoiding the outdoors for significant part of each year.

TLDR It's an urban planning story.

How to Write a Personal Letter, According to a Hallmark Card Writer
It's because the code isn't mature or seems to be maintained anymore (last commit is april of 2019, pile of issues built up, etc.)

So it wouldn't be wise to rely on that from a business standpoint.
It was not entirely unable to recover from bus faults. It was unable to restart the instruction executing at the time correctly.

So it was unusable for more complex setups without hacks like ch_123 mentions Apollo and others used where you'd have two CPU's and let one of them pause while the second handled paging. But if you were content with killing the offending process, you could do that with "just" a single 68000 CPU and a simple MMU.

(on a side note, Apollo's OS was fascinating for the era [1]: "Certain efficiencies were gained by careful design; for example, the memory page size, network packet, and disk sector were all 1K byte in size. With this arrangement, a page fault could take place across the network as well as on the individual computer and Aegis file system was a single system of memory mapped files across the entire network. The namespace of the network was self discovering as new nodes (workstations) were added.")

About $20,000. Most coins have been mined, and I think it's approaching an equilibrium. The hype will die down, and it'll stabilize somewhere around there.

I think it'll jump back up to $50k or maybe even above $100k on the next halving, but then on the halving after that settle down to $20k.
Credit is a tool - one that is needed to keep economic systems working correctly. Depressions don't occur when financial systems pull back - Depressions occur when access to financial capital via credit dries up.

That said, as a tool, it is often mis-used (virtually anything that starts with a credit card is in this category).
I've noticed that some sites deliberately do this or have lousy code that fails to properly acknowledge captcha completions.

Take archive.is/archive.fo/archive.today, for example. If you're using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) or iCloud Private Relay, and you visit https://archive.is/, you'll get what looks like a Cloudflare screening page. It's not, though: that page is part of archive.is and is served to Cloudflare DNS users (which includes iCloud Private Relay users)--the use of reCAPTCHA in place of hCaptcha is a giveaway. You can complete the captcha as many times as you like, but you'll never get in.

And how many times have we completed a captcha on a form only to have it throw another captcha in our face without so much as an error message? Sometimes it's just lousy code.
The foreign policy choices of liberal democracies tend to be far more stable, consensus-driven and cooperation-oriented actually. This is what the whole notion of a "liberal international order" ultimately boils down to. And it was hardly a failure - even the most recent and salient seeming "successes" of various more-or-less authoritarian polities are ultimately reliant on the "liberal" order working as well as it does.

The western front was more or less a sideshow. All of the big battles were in the East. The Soviets kept bottled up a German force fully half as big as were fielded on the whole western front, in a little peninsula of Latvia ("Courland Pocket"), for almost a year.

But the naval war in the Atlantic mattered. And, US supplies (particularly SPAM, and trucks, tires, and fuel) delivered through Iran were helpful late in the war.

But aside from naval work that denied Germany South American resources, the Soviets could have done the whole job on their own, and would have overrun all of Europe. In particular, there is no evidence that British and US area bombing achieved anything, although point attacks on rail locomotives did.
Got it - so the magic here isn't merely to evaluate querysets ahead of time (which can still return objects with unfetched relations that'll cause a query at runtime if accessed) but to also rely on the third-party package to explicitly disallow that.

Damage to the climate is highly exaggerated. People waste insane amounts of energy washing their clothes every day, keeping their tropical homes at 60 degrees, commuting hours each day, maintaining incredibly polluting industry such as the military, etc.

We are talking about a small small fraction of the worlds energy use. Its virtue signaling by wealthy 1st world people who simply dont get it.

Besides that I disagree with that "easily converting to fiat" is a disqualifier, read on: Assuming that you as recipient don't mind centralized finance and are just interested in getting out fiat: Open account at e.g. Coinbase. Send in crypto. Convert to fiat (e.g. USD). Wire everything to your account. Report the amount you cashed out as if you had received the corresponding amount in fiat directly.

This can be done later, or ahead of time.

Alternatively, if you really want the full legacy finance experience a la paypal, you can set up an account that auto-converts it to e.g. USD and sends it straight to your account. For you as a recipient, this is pretty much the same experience you would get from say a normal cc provider. IMO it's preferable that individuals control their own keys but to each their own.

Yes, this setup doesn't give you as a recipients all the benefits of the crypto-economy - except that you can now receive funds from it, and provide those benefits to your donors.
This sounds nothing like my experience living in Austin 2009-2017. In fact, this is unrecognizable.

Weird. This is sort of unbelievable. I think I know many Hispanics who lived in ATX during 2001, but they’ve never mentioned their car being firebombed.
Yeah, they were military helicopters:

Thanks for your kind words. About the trackpad I didn't manage to implement the pitch to zoom which is desperately missing.

1. That's a good point, I didn't implement this shortcut. In my head, I assumed it wouldn't be useful because the editor only let you do vertical lines, horizontal lines and circle quarter. So making a straight line is pretty easy. If it was pure freeform like on Illustrator, it would be vital.
2. Maybe it's related to the editor only letting you do vertical/horizontal/circle quarter, right?
> The idea being that while liberalism does a decent job of ensuring that the government doesn't oppress you, it does nothing to ensure that other people don't oppress you.

The government does this by... oppressing you, by limiting your choices and your freedom. Nature itself is oppressive. We are all born naked and hungry and at the mercy of others. This does not constitute oppression by other people, and no amount of governance can change this. All government can do is provide due process to resolve the inevitable conflicts. What is should not do it paternalistically dictate how people should interact peacefully.
Ahha! Hidden In plain sight! Good catch
That looks pretty easy for machines. I wouldn’t be surprised if CLIP could solve that out of the box. (Then again, I guess the same applies to “select all the traffic lights”)
Ask HN: Could Omicron boosters create an overfitting problem?
In ML there is a term: overfitting ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting )

There is currently a lot of booster talk and it seems it protects ~ 10 weeks.

I'm fully vaccinated ( Pfizer), if I plan to have the booster now then it's reasonable to assume I will get one again after 2-3 months.

In that scenario:

- Vaccine ( = 2 x )

- Booster 1 ( January)

- Booster 2 ( March)

Then in March, the Omicron booster will be ready so it's reasonable to assume I'll receive one again in June. If Omicron protects ~3 months against reinfection and the peak of infection is end of January in Europe.

In the scenario that there becomes a Omicron variant that is more infective and more dangerous, it's not unlikely that it will spread around March-April pretty fast. Before the next booster in June.

Could the human body have an overfitting problem because I was vaccinated too much against the previous variant ( that protects against Omicron, so is used against Omicron too)? This is in the scenario that I haven't received a Omicron booster and there is no "new variant booster" available.

Or is this not how the body works?

I'm curious about any related resources or research based opinion to this hypothesis ( it is a hypothesis, there are many variables that could change it and that's not what i want to discuss/find answers to. ).

Note: I'm just wondering how the human body works in this scenario and I don't know where i can ask my question. HN is a diversified crowd with people more knowledgeable about this.

> We wouldn't never had the desktop development experience that keeps the Amiga nostalgy alive if that had been the case.

I know the Amiga GUI was way better than X, but that the development experience would be better is not a given. Unixes were always light-years ahead of anything else in development and automation tools. That, combined with a good set of APIs for all the custom hardware, would be extremely compelling.

What would be much harder to do is direct hardware access. For that, you'd need to be running in runlevel 1 (which would make sense for a stand-alone computer).
Snap is a weird bit of tech, Canonical are pushing it, but it's hard to find people recommending it online, they'll typically say, "here's the Flatpak".

I actually grabbed GIMP last night using Flatpak, and a few weeks ago downloaded Tenacity the same way.

I'm still unsure what the reason is to use one over the other, but Snapcraft is definitely losing the war of minds online, as far as I see.
Nice one! Pretty hilarious but a little bit unusable on iPad.
In heavily vectorized applications you still get a sizable speed up over AVX2, e.g. in tasks like video encoding. In mixed/real-time applications this issue could be solved by dedicating/pinning a thread with the AVX-512 payload to a core, automatically or manually. Not sure if such policies have been implemented in practice.
To clarify, I'm coming at BPM strictly from a perspective of segueing from one danceable tune to another. If you go directly from a 140 BPM song to "Easy On Me", you are guaranteed to clear the dance floor, except for maybe a few slow-dancing couples.
> Crypto's only true benefit is the lack of minimum investment quantities. I can more easily store for 100 years $100m of cash today than I can $100.

Hey thanks for the suggestion! That's also another benefit of crypto, you can store for 100 years $100 just as easily as you can $100m. Let's see you try to do that with teak farms.

I would also love to hear how 60 and 99 year leases from banks are a simpler alternative to trading wealth. Seems awfully complicated to me. To be honest, if I wanted to send someone some crypto, I could do it in less than an hour whenever I want.

The use case I have seen for this is not salary negotiation - in fact, that is illegal in a non-zero number of states - but rather employment validation for home mortgages and marketing purposes.

Not saying it's better - but it's probably not being used the way it seems many pre-suppose here.

I use a lambda stack for a side project of mine and I just deploy to my "dev" stage to test anything. I hate the turn around time so much but the last time I attempted to use serverless offline I ran into tons of little issues and the inability to talk to some services without jumping through hoops. I don't mean to say this is the current state of things and when I pick back up this project in the next month or so I plan on retrying to use the offline workflow since I hate long "write code"->"see code working" turnarounds, it just kills my productivity. I'm happy to use and pay for my dev Aurora/S3/DynamoDB/etc instances/services, I just hate waiting for code to deploy to test a single change.

Cloudflare has been doing some really cool and interesting things lately and fully-local development (with 1st party support) is very attractive.
It wont go away, it will become a protocol only incharge of high value security. All the daily micro transactions will take place in a second layer or in another crypto which can swap back and forth seamlessly.
>If COVID has taught us anything there's a lot of capacity to ignore diffuse death

How has COVID taught us that? Is it because the response wasn't as perfect as we would have liked? I really don't think I've seen a lot of ignorance about diffuse death from COVID; quite the opposite actually.
I agree, but that's not the whole story. A/B testing isn't just for identifying the best option, it's for figuring out how much opportunity there is in a particular facet of your business. If you try a few reasonable designs, and some designs have much better performance than others, then it makes sense to continue investing time to further improve. You can take what you've learned and try to come up with even better designs.

On the other hand, if the variants mostly perform the same, why spend more time on it? Go focus elsewhere.

It certainly is a logical possibility that the next design you try will be much more impactful, but after trying several variants unsuccessfully your time is probably better spent elsewhere.
This is incredibly cool.

The stated purpose from the site is to be able to match songs on a playlist, so like keep a consistent bpm across an entire playlist. If that was your goal, you'd presumably want the dotted-quarter bpm for 6/8 instead of the eighth. For a listener, the feel of the song is going to be based on when the kicks and snares come, not how things are divided up within those beats. That's what I was trying to get at, but man it's hard to put a description of time signature into plain text.
I agree with you, though most of those handles do in some way relate to the person and are typically not 'fantasy style'.

I didn't mean to suggest 'register hi-kagi-ceo-here'. Maybe 'The Vlad' would work.
Maybe the next big step is creating AI-driven cargo ships that can independently get stuck in the Suez canal.

On a more serious note, I can't shake the impression that would be a logical next step for all long and medium distance freight, be it road, water, air or space. Whether it's a good or mature idea is anyone's guess.
CLAs are the reason for the harsh language. There's no reason to make contributors create and link a half-dozen accounts and read seven hundred pages of legalese to contribute to your project. It's a real barrier to contributions (see: the linked article), not to mention the time projects waste setting up these broken automated CLA systems, just to justify some lawyer getting a paycheck.
