I’m not sure if there was any edit or not, I certainly felt it actually happened, though I’ll admit there were a few discrepancies.

E.g. the picture of the burning house is a McMansion, but the author indicates they live in the Uk. The passport is clearly set on fire, etc. But I could justify these as ‘well, obviously there is nothing left, so the author just took a random picture of a burning passport’.
That just kicks the question down the road. It's not like patents don't share the exact same argument. There are US and German patents that only apply in their own countries. What difference does it make where the multinational that owns them receives mail.

Unless you think Intel will refuse to do business with a European company vs a US one.
Show HN: Interval, CLIs in browser with no front end code
Hey HN,

I'm Alex, founder of Interval [0]. We’re bringing internal tools written like CLIs to the browser to make them more powerful, through a Node.js SDK which attaches them to a hosted dashboard without any frontend code. Large companies have full teams that work on internal dashboards and tooling. Interval brings that infrastructure to anyone.

In our previous project we had ~65 CLI scripts for tasks like provisioning user accounts, moderating content, and migrating data. These were quick to write and powerful. They also turned into an ongoing timesuck. Non-technical coworkers needed to bother an engineer every time to run one. Some of them were powerful enough to be footguns, and because we had to rewrite validation every time, we were always a bit scared of them.

We wanted to bring the power and speed of cranking out CLI scripts into the world of modern software development: testable, easy to expose to colleagues via a URL, and works with Everything Else by default. That’s why we made Interval.

We built:

- A Node.js + TypeScript SDK – this embeds in your backend codebase and provides APIs for defining tools + collecting input + displaying output. These APIs are simple awaitable functions that return parsed, validated, and soundly-typed user input. You put your Interval actions in source control, test them, run CI/etc exactly like you do for all your other backend code.

- A hosted UI, which handles I/O for the scripts in a less brittle way than command line arguments do, while also taking care of auth, permissions, and audit logs.

This lets you take your CLI commands out of an engineer’s terminal and share them with the whole company. Give support the ability to ban spammers but not drop the prod DB. Require two people for sensitive actions. Echo commands to a Slack channel. It’s a powerful set of primitives out of the box and lets you do anything else you want in the code you’re already writing, without making you have to spin up a second company just to support your internal tools.

Under the hood, your CLIs and the hosted dashboard talk through a 2-way message passing system. We felt this approach was the best of both worlds:

- UIs are hosted by Interval: We build, host, and maintain the part most people don't care about for internal tools.

- Backends are self-hosted: We can't see your business logic, secrets, etc.

We're in public beta today. I hope you like it and I'm happy to answer any questions/feedback in the comments.

But who are the actors worse that the mafia that is already in control?

Institutions that are corrupt and serve themselves (not the public, despite their lipservice) need to go.

If you wait until the damaging effects of the collapse are already substantially affecting us, it is waaay too late by then.

For most of the time of the event, you won't see any ill effects of a piano falling out of a building above your head, but if you wait to act until it starts crushing your hat, you are waaayy too late.

There are literal armies of scientists observing and working on this problem, and mountains of data, but you seem to think that your willful ignorance by reductive 'reasoning' is more relevant. There's far too much information to even begin to list here, but I'll suggest you start with the Xerces society [1] if you want to become informed.

Thank you for this. It is a reminder for me to think more long term than just my short life so far.
My understanding is that theory has blasted way past observations and what we need now are more precise observations.

And developing the technology capable of making such precise observations has immense utility outside of the particular experiment that drives their invention. Even if superparters are useless, more powerful magnets are useful. Better sensors are useful. Better data processing technology is useful. And that stuff gets invented by the people probing to find superpartners.
I have no doubt we’d have gotten basically the same thing within five years from elsewhere if CERN didn’t exist.
Agreed. I could probably be fairly called an Apple critic on most things, but I don't think Lightning is a problem in need of solving. It was great all phones migrated to USB on the brick, but the other end of the cable is less important as long as there are such a small number.

Sure they can fabricate the chips, but a lot of the raw material needed will come from places like China.

It's back up. Close call, the world wouldn't have survived much longer without FB, I think...
His Nobel Prize was for his early quantum work (explaining the photoelectric effect). He was a major participant at the first Solvay conference. Bose-Einstein statistics didn't get that name just because someone though it looked cool.

He of course fully knew that the world is quantum, not classical. His beef with the mainstream QM past the mid to late '20s was with the Copenhagen interpretation. Einstein believed that a complete theory would have realism and so Copenhagen could not be the complete theory.
Thanks for the kind words -- it was incredibly fun to go through the design process of something like cash since we're all intimately familiar with the end product.

It was a pleasure to work with an actual banknote designer, Tom Badley, to accomplish this.
I understand your point of view here but I think I disagree.

If you restrict your view only to the particular targeted research in question you are missing much of the pie. Going to the Moon did not help the average person in their day to day lives on its own but numerous side technologies emerged as a result of the engineering and research efforts required to solve problems.

LHC and CERN as a whole have led to a number of technological improvements[1], even if the research goals themselves do not seem oriented towards anything an individual should care about today.

It is certainly possible that similarly funded fusion research or carbon sequestration research would yield similar technologies, it's not a given.

Hey @jqpac123. I'm the founder Yigit. Yes, it's a mockup site and is kind of the same with the temporary phone websites for now, but we're planning to shape according to the needs of interested people. Would you be interested in providing some feedback and receive a couple of months long free trial? If so, I can send you an invitation on Linkedin, my ID is aliyigittabel.

Mark Cuban is not solving ANYTHING. Can we please stop worshipping billionaires who got extremely lucky during market bubbles? I think Kim Kardashian has a better chance of fixing the drug prices.
(Disclosure: I invested in this company at YC back in 2018, when it was Osh’s Affordable Pharmaceuticals)

That article is a bit short on details. Some other recent articles I thought were more helpful included https://www.healio.com/news/rheumatology/20220428/mark-cuban... and https://www.drugtopics.com/view/the-good-the-bad-and-the-mis... . The second article is written more from the perspective of independent pharmacies.

The first article includes this snippet: "If there is reason for optimism, though, it lies with the medical background of Oshmyansky, the company’s co-founder and CEO, according to Gewanter.

'The radiologist Cuban is working with knows the business,' Gewanter said. 'Between the two of them, it is not difficult to imagine that they will figure out where the gaps are and how to exploit them. We can only hope that when they do, our patients will be the beneficiaries.' "

I think YC made a fantastic choice including Alex's company in YC, and it's been a pleasure seeing what Alex has done and is doing. I'll stop there for now.
I do like that idea, thank you.

Really appreciate the through review, this sheds a lot of light on things for me. Thanks a ton.
Oh please get your head out of sand. Just look at a teardown of their vehicle and compare it to their competitors. They are in a class of their own and they are constantly iterating and improving without slowing down so when their competitors eventually copy their designs, they are already onto the next thing. Yeah ok you don't typically see the engineering, you just drive the car. But as an engineer myself, it really lights up an area of my mind to see how well they challenge conventional norms about how a specific part or process is typically done in a car and then go and do a much better job of it. Plus the cross pollination between SpaceX and Tesla is introducing so many cool things that we would not typically see in the car industry.
You don't explain anywhere what you mean by "cut."

And what is a "sewer" in your world? (Edit: I think it's a typo for "server.")

This was reported before it was clear that cables were cut. As with many things symptoms appeared before the cause was understood and that knowledge filter through the NOCs of the world, let alone out to users.

Also, how is the headline not accurate? Did Google Cloud not in fact have major packet loss between multiple regions? How does "this service is down" count as marketing, isn't it giving people bad impressions?
The poor just aren't carrying their weight.

Diversify the gas and oil supplies after you lock in a consistent steady supply, not before lol. Now European industrial capacity will crater. They need energy to fuel their economy. No nation ever became strong or a world power by consuming less energy, or paying more than their peers.

And, just because they want to diversify, doesn't mean the present geological and economic reality allows for it. Utopian policy in place of realpolitik is foolish. Same with ESG and insane green anti hydrocarbon, anti-nuclear policies.
> It does stop innovation in things like lightning and MagSafe

I think avoiding "innovation" in the form of yet another connector is USB C's mission.

Apple just released a USB C to MagSafe cable, where is the problem?

Lightning isn't innovation it's pure vendor lock in complete with embedded cable chips to enforce it.

Any improperly designed device can damage other devices, suggesting it's somehow particular to USB C is specious.
You mean the ones on the packaging?
The taxes issue is why the EU added a bunch of VAT taxes. Intel pays less taxes (excluding VAT and property taxes) than the amount of this subsidy anyway.

I agree that China impacts its companies beyond its borders, but the US government does not. The US government has enough trouble regulating the US operations of US companies,

Unless you bribe someone. They seem to actually care about that.

This is antithetical to the whole idea of crypto.

I have to trust the bill is valid and that the person passing along the bill is honest. There is no central authority who will go after those that make counterfeit bills, like the FBI. There is no central bank that I can go to exchange the bill.

Those producing the bills seems like a power grab. If people were to trust in a central authority to produce the bills, then that company has a whole lot of power over a decentralized currency.
I tend to think recalls in general are bug in a democratic system. For candidates who have done something actually terrible (like breaking laws) there's impeachment or other kinds of dismissal. Otherwise, you wait until the end of the term and vote the bum out?
> This conflates the user concept of a buffer with the gap buffer implementation emacs happens to use.

I did not conflate these things at all. Gap buffers, etc. are irrelevant; a boring implementation detail. Unfortunately, _most_ editors leave it at that, or with a thin veneer on top of it, and call it a day. That's why I go to great pains to elucidate why "string-based" editing is a Bad Idea, and why Emacs _does not_ make it a first-class citizen in elisp. I dedicate the rest of the article explaining why Emacs does not operate on such a low level; that in Emacs, in fact, the buffer and elisp are twinned, and that almost all of Emacs operates on the level of a "buffer" as that concept exists in Emacs and Emacs lisp.
The cutting edge of software that mostly uses these advanced process node sizes is not horribly inefficient. The new applications enabled by, for example, GPU-accelerated ML are not the same as running 400 chrome tabs on an M1.

The hot paths in most important high-end computing are mostly quite efficient.
Improving the accessibility of online data visualizations for screen-readers
Right now, the raw material will come from China because that's where the resources are developed. But once a fab is in place, it makes sense to push more to develop local resources, or at least among more diverse allies.

It doesn't make sense to do that now, because you'd just be shipping local resources to a foreign fab, so that's still a bottleneck. But I think having a local fab is the tipping-point.
It's a move back down the supply chain. Fine, they haven't completely verticalized the entire supply chain. It's still a strategic move.
USB charging, yes, but USB-C is not used for that long. We might have USB-D in the future. I doubt that it's the end of technological development.
At a certain point we have to make choices about what gets funded. Even if you think much more money should be going into science, you still have to decide what takes priority, and you're going to eventually run into some limits. One can take the view (as many seem to) that if it's science it should be funded, but that's not useful for any discussion of resource allocation. If someone doesn't have a preference, then it makes sense for the people who do have preferences to decide.

Also keep in mind that some scientific endeavors can make other ones much more productive, so prioritizing things correctly can increase the overall output by a large amount (and neglecting to prioritize things correctly can significantly slow output).
Wow. These deals amaze me.

Imagine you got given subsidies to live somewhere. I'm not talking about your wages - I'm talking about something extra. Well that is a direct equivalent here.

How any governance structure can think this is ok boggles the mind.

I've been writing elixir, python, go, doing kubernetes stuff without any issues, it's fantastic (unless you're using VSCode). The only thing I'd change is to have a screen without a bezel. Oh and a good tiling wm for mac, but that's besides the point.
As joshstrange mentions above, iCloud password prompts don't support password managers, which is the main reason why I have a memorable one.

Password managers are more useful to me than a spreadsheet in iCloud. I don't see why having a memorable iCloud password implies I should get rid of a password manager.

Do you have a spreadsheet of passwords in a cloud account somewhere?
It's not, though.

> There are many known problems in physics right now. $100 billion could fund (quite literally) 100,000 smaller physics experiments.

$1M is a reasonable amount to build a prototype world wide web. There were 5,000 things like WWW we didn't do because we built LHC.

dammit to hell (in a disappointed but congratulatory voice), I'm building basically the exact same product as audioread.com right now. I thought it was a great idea and was shocked I couldn't find any implementations yet :-(

kudos to you on having a wonderful idea :-D Guess I'll move on to my next idea
Yes, and I was sarcastically replying to you in earnest ;-)

But I think you're making a slippery-slope argument. We're not actually talking about increasing the workweek, but whether to shorten it. In fact, there is simply no denying that there is a non-zero correlation between productivity and # hours worked, so finding the right balance is key.
Haha. It is.

But looking at the code made me think how we are capable of shipping software products that are hundred of thousand of lines of code and then we have people trying to break things some much and we end up in a spaghetti of microservices and their connections.
All key material for the note must be written to the note so that it is fully bearer (otherwise it's invalid and our app will reflect as such).

So, just like cash you can hand the note to someone and using the app they (1) can tap the note to see the public keys and verify it is loaded and (2) cut the note to claim (the fact that the note is cut is sent to us at which point we respond with a decryption key to unlock the second private key that lives on the note).

Can't tell if this is satire or not. Must be some kind of elaborate joke that I don't quite get. But in case it's serious:

Ordinary cash is very censorship resistant, that's why it's used by so many criminals. Ever watched Narcos?

> before you accept one of these things you should validate that it actually contains funds? > Yes; depending on who gives you the note you might trust that they have done this for you

So... much, much worse than actual cash, to the point of complete absurdity.
Well anyway Amazon will win because they have the full source-code and training set for the model (the result is sounding great btw)
There's nothing worse than this. I had to chase a bug fix (that required a two character string change in the code) for about 6 months as i got a mix of 'not my problem' and 'not a priority'. I could have made the change but, no, the team that owned the product had to do it. Try explaining that to the customer affected.
