In tech (and here on HN) we embrace the mythos of the founder, and everyone is 100% comfortable with a founder having 80x more equity than the first engineer (who writes the very first prototype) and 800x more equity than the 10th engineer, and we cheer them when they ("one of us") becomes a multi-billionaire... while at the same time, we're aghast at the immense wealth inequality everywhere else ("that greedy wall street!") and we're offended by Marc Andreessen wanting to protect his personal riches.
In fact, light is electromagnetic so it's very similar to semiconductors in this regard.

You can use analog electronics to achieve a similar scrambler off volumetric CCD or CMOS sensors...
Arguably it's been less cynical over time. HN memes existed for a reason around 2013.
At least it’s not Japan where at least 80% of cars are white or maybe silver.

With regard to house colors… muted is good. There is less reaction to the colors you cannot avoid seeing. I’ve had relatives with big bright colors… it’s kitsch. It’s good for five minutes, after that you want some neutral colors to rest your eyes.

I've used F# in a professional job and its fine - on very large scale apps for large corps. There's features in it that I feel make certain apps much easier to write that have no equivalent in C# or C# is just starting to get them. Its also easier to teach IMO than C# since code typically uses less concepts.

The usual features (e.g TP's) that are used to sell the language though I feel are oversold and tbh not the main reason F# users like the language - in fact I think TP's need an overhaul and are a distraction. Inlining code for math (which is just getting an equivalent like feature in the next C#), unions/records together, functions and type inference, leaning to compile time vs runtime dispatch in code style, etc I feel are where its strengths are at. More than features I've found for large scale projects its just easier to spot bad code in F#, less bugs have made it ot Production when .NET teams have tried it, and less of it makes it to code reviews.

I've found F# tooling at least for VS Code more stable than the C# equivalent. But that's not saying much - most languages plugins for VS Code don't feel that stable to me if not JS (e.g. the Java one used to crash on me all the time). In VS Studio, Rider, etc are options.

Documentation should be improved sure especially for people getting into it; but it is the smaller language and documentation goes out of date quickly. This obviously penalises the new starter without a mentor/senior dev to teach them in the job/elsewhere.
There are designs that allow that. With liquid salts in which the fuel is in the reactor is said to self-regulate with minimal problems, the problem with this is the trash. Recent studies say that they generate more nuclear waste than "normal" reactors.
The reason we mostly have water based Reactors is that an army general responsible for nuclear reactors in submarines was also part of the comitee for the civilian usage of nuclear energy and they had water based reactors because the scientists thought the marine would know water.
In cities like Atherton and Woodside if you earn $150k you're the person a few steps down and just a low income computer guy! Consider that next time you write that sort of comment - there's always a bigger fish.

each material has natural frequencies at which they oscillate. if you produce that frequency you can get the material to shake until it breaks.

in this case the sound included a frequency that affected the laptops harddisks which are obviously sensitive to shaking

There are some sensible regulations wrt placing wind turbines. For example you don't want the blades' shade to hit homes for more than a couple of minutes and you want sufficient distance to buildings so that the blades can fall off without hitting any. These regulations however are not strong enough for NIMBYs who don't want to even see any turbines.
Only 57 fatalities, but how many injuries? Including severe and debilitating injuries, which can have gigantic economic consequences - not only direct (healthcare + disability care), but also indirect (one of the 2 parents needing to quit the workforce to take care of a disabled child for instance).

Not regulating something is not the same thing as murder. We could do all kinds of regulation that would save lives but not doing those things doesn't mean we should think about it as murder.
We're at the beginning of a rapidly evolving situation where out of the blue it is now possible to direct an AI to produce imagery that is interesting using just language. From there to moving animations is a relatively small step and already being worked on. From there to photo realistic scenes directed by just words not that big of a leap either and also something that is being worked on. Are there constraints, glitches, and limitations. Of course. Has that ever stopped artists producing interesting art? Of course not. People have been telling stories via art ever since people figured out that they could scratch things into rock, clay, and whatever.

Perhaps the depressing thing for some artists is that they need to adapt to this and up their game. We've seen the same with photography. Every idiot can now have a decent phone camera and there are plenty of people on Instagram doing not so interesting things with those. Does that invalidate what really good photographers do? No. But it does make their work less special when an AI guided camera in the hands of an absolute amateur can produce photos that are decent. And now with this, you could produce realistic looking photos of things that don't exist by simply asking for them in the right way.

More content means the quality standards are raised. There are not a lot of artists left that make a living scratching things in rocks. But there are more artists than ever. The only real limitation is their imagination.
Take a look at our (Australian) anti-spam rules and how they were exploited by Clive Palmer, Craig Kelly and the United Australia Party to spam a huge percentage of Australian mobile numbers, for months[1].

Because the messages were from a political party, they were exempt from anti-spam rules, and despite the protests from people sick of getting the messages - there was no requirement for any ability to unsubscribe.

In many ways, sites/tools like sourceforge and github made it much easier to publish and obtain open source software, leading to much more software being created and shared. I'm suggesting that "too much content" isn't a problem, and leads to good things.
The Banqiao dam suffered from major flaws then from decades of a fair amount of diverse very adverse conditions and absence of proper maintenance... and it kept up. Then it took a typhoon to finally destroy it. The grotesquely bad handling continued during the crisis which followed.

A few hours of improper use were sufficient to trigger a disaster at the Chernobyl's reactor, then the authorities' reaction (evacuation, liquidators...), albeit imperfect, was way better than at Banqiao.
And it's pretty much good enough; 90% of carbon emissions are from fossil fuels, 90% of that is petroleum products. If we could get half of our gasoline to come from Prometheus in the next ten years, that would be the EU emissions goal. Done. That's it.
I found their dissimilar wording peculiar the 8k gets the qualifier “permanent” but the 57 deaths do not. Glad to hear they would have been temporary deaths, perhaps similar to witches turning people in newts.

I get they are talking about in particular year and perhaps want to emphasize the births aren’t simply delayed but the way it’s phrased is off putting
I don't agree with this argument.

Yes, because of safety mandates the price of a new car has gone up. I bought a brand new base model Toyota for $11k in 2001, and the cheapest brand new cars now are closer to $20k.

BUT, cars now also last far, far longer. There is still a massive market for cars under $10k that will run for many 10s of thousands, if not 100 thousand more miles with minimal maintenance.

20 years ago cars wouldn't start. Or, you'd need to know just how to turn the key or finesse the clutch. None of that is a thing any more.

Yes, safety makes cars more expensive. It definitely saves lives. But, I'd need evidence that there are not cars available for the poor. It's only NEW cars that are unavailable, but you can find plenty of cars with backup cameras and a lot of life left in them for cheap in the used car market.
I guess it depends who your adversary is. If it's the Turkish government, then you are probably safe to trust a foreign mainstream VPN. If you're trying to avoid scrutiny by a five-eyes western government, you need to be somewhat more careful.
Greys are more modern palettes. It wasn’t very popular prior to the late ‘90s to early 2000s and beyond. Much inspired by movies with “architecture” as central accent.
Why not use systemd user units [0]? You can drop service files under `~/.config/systemd/user/` and enable them to be launched at login with `systemctl --user enable foo`. This is how the Crankshaft plugin loader autostarts itself on the Steam Deck [1]. It's published as a Flatpak [2] which you can install and update from SteamOS's built-in Discover software manager - on first run, the Flatpak drops the service file and enables it.

I'm positive this is what happened. My anecodotal evidence: the touchscreen-while-moving functionality was removed when my 2016 got a software update. One day I could just touch the giant map to enlarge it, the next I had to twiddle the knob a precise number of notches and watch the screen to make sure I highlighted it correctly.

It could be worse: Lexus infotainment screens of certain years would refuse to display the radio's RDS song info when you pressed the "Message" button (which enlarges the window to see it) while you were moving. Meanwhile, the RDS data happily continued to scroll by, one word every 3 seconds, in the tiny marquee at the top.

I think GM has two weak spots:

First, they have poor to negative brand equity for some customers.

My family always had Japanese and Korean cars, so when I think of GM, I think of the ugly Cavaliers that so many of my classmates got as first cars in high school, and their long string of equally mediocre descendants. How do you beak that impression? Hyundai did it by giving out enough warranty that people didn't need to trust that the cars were built to last.

For EVs, I could almost see a case for a new psuedo-independent brand like Saturn. You don't need to remind people of those rusting old Chevys, but maybe there's a vague reminder that the endeavour is backed by Daddy GM's finances and infrastructure, so it's a less risky choice than buying a Lucid or Rivian and hoping the firm's still there in five years. Reinventing Hummer is an interesting take on it, but it's hardly selling to the people thinking "I can get the Prius, the Niro, or spend a little more and go full-electric and get even BETTER TCO on my grocery-getter." It's a shame they spun off Electro-Motive-- the branding would have been perfect.

Second, being a large player limits their ability to milk the growth narrative. Tesla can be overpriced (and as someone with WAY too much tied up in $TSLA, it freaks me out), but people can keep treating it like they're buying into the "future #1 brand" rather than the "already #1 brand with only downwards to possibly go"

This is the most interesting part of this story! Everybody going on about how Marc is a hypocrite, but to me it smells of a house divided, since we don't know for certain who penned the letter, or whether Marc himself even ever saw it. To disavow it publicly though would be a personal betrayal of his wife. What I wouldn't give to be a fly on that wall.
Oh hey, that's me! :wave:

I definitely agree useEffect is awfully cryptic and easy to get wrong, and I'm happy to be corrected... but I'm not sure how I'm wrong about it running on every render when there's no 2nd argument?

I kinda wish they'd made it easier to do the common operations like onMount and onUnmount by providing some simplified wrappers around useEffect (with less power comes less responsibility... or something). Of course we can make custom hooks for those, but having the well-trodden paths be paved is always nice.
For whatever it's worth we paid $175,000 when we started the company, but we now pay (everyone) $185,657. Of the three founders, two had kids -- and many of our employees have young families or others that they provide for. In terms of the original question, I think it's (very) fair to ask your co-founders about the salary they deem appropriate for themselves. Some follow up questions might be around the salaries that you intend to pay employees; if it's any lower than old €150K (that is, if they want to pay themselves more than they pay your future employees), that is a huge, huge red flag. Another may be: do we (as a company) hold financial prudence as a value? If expenses are high (kids, mortgage, etc.), there may be some good reasons for this -- but based on the way you are phrasing your question, I suspect that there is a deeper fracture in underlying values that you want to understand before you make long-term commitments to one another. Finally, if I may offer one additional piece of advice: if you are going to take more salary, consider putting founders on a longer term vest (e.g., 6 or 8 years instead of 4). If your co-founders balk at this, there is again an indicator that something deeper is amiss...

I've always been of the opinion that automobile manufacturers have no business writing software. They just don't have the capability (currently) to do a good job.

What they should have done is deliver kick-ass hardware in-tandem with CarPlay and Android Auto, and make THAT software first-class citizens.

Every manufacturer is investing as little as they can on in-house (or off-shore) software teams to write crappy UIs on pretty crappy hardware, and meanwhile we're sitting in our cars with computers in our pockets with enough calculating power to send a rocket to the moon.

Music can be performed. Or rather, performing music is way less boring for an observer than performing painting or sculpture. Of course, speedpainting exists, but performative art is more resistant to being obsoleted by technology.
The cost is still dominated by zoning/nimbyism. Yes it's a cut, but when the land alone costs more than any possible house built on it, and and non-single-family-residences are harshly restricted, well, guess what there's more demand than there is supply, and no way to increase the supply, so the prices go up.

Way up.
It was more than 10x slower than Vespa, Weaviate, or Qdrant before. Maybe they are finally getting close.
> What are the right reasons? Most people work for money.

The right reasons for co-founding are to grow equity in the short to medium term. Obviously. To some degree you must be aware of this, and your confusion that there is such thing as "too much" for a co-founder comes across as disingenuous. These are the right reasons in the sense that align the co-founders interests with the investors. Contrast this with a co-founder who co-founds so he can draw as much investment money as possible for his salary.
You're not wrong. My language here was hyperbolic.
To add: it’s hard to imagine but 2001 was over 20 years ago. Inflation is something you must consider, and wow, $11k in 2001 is $18,400 in 2022. Even if you exclude our recent inflation crisis, in 2021 it’s still $16,800.
This reminds me of the "If it saves just one life" fallacy...

Even the most ardent believer of this fallacy will often break when confronted with real costs to their own life.

For example:

Cruel Capitalist: If lowering the highway speed limit to 40 miles per hour (64km/hr) would save 20,000 lives per year on US roads, should we do it?

Bleeding Heart: It would be inconvenient, but yes, it would save lives!

Cruel Capitalist: And if lowering the highway speed limit to 20 miles per hour (32km/hr) would save 40,000 lives per year?

Bleeding Heart: You know, maybe some people just aren't meant to live that long. Isn't the planet getting overpopulated anyway?

It is really easy to move a car seat from the parent's car to your car. They aren't welded in or anything. After 4 years old they only need a booster seat, which is even easier.
>So the elite can shave precious hours off of commute times?

If the planes will be "nearly empty of passengers" and only carry "elites" then the impact on global fossil fuel usage will be insignificant. Like the Concorde.

The problem would be if they are somehow not cost prohibitive and millions of middle class people are able and willing to pay extra to go faster than subsonic planes.

Does that sound likely?
On the topic of publishing, these two papers from the Milvus community may be of interest to some folks.

SIGMOD'21 - https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/csjgwang/pubs/SIGMOD21_Milvu... This paper talks about the vector database vertical (compute core and user-facing API)

VLDB'22 - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.13843.pdf This paper discusses the development of a cloud-native vector database.

Reading through them should help folks understand where the novelty and difficulty in developing an full-fledged vector database comes from.

Disclaimer: I'm a member of the Milvus community.
I'm not really. The vast majority of infrastructure degradation is because of trucks which weigh 100 times as much as cars. Their weight will be decreasing by a much smaller factor.
Look at the new Discord app. It's significantly slower than previously ever since the switch to react native, and has significantly more hangups.

React native works maybe fine if your target device is the highest end iPhone, but if your users are on Android One devices, it's not going to work nearly as well.

That's aside from the layouting being obviously off compared to the native layout engines.
I'm in CA, and I know that in my city (Mountain View), the permit costs on new construction, single family home, exceed $100k and in multi-apartment complexes, it's still near $80k per unit. That's permits alone, and a big chunk is the park impact fee.

Solar is mandated on roofs, and you still need a permit for it, neat, eh?

Oddly enough I was just talking to some friends about my plan for the Steam Deck and my confusion on its update process - since the source code showed both partition image updates and pacman updates.

My day 1 goal is to get the system working with tailscale and games over NFS. Second is getting that managed by home-manager as a OK workaround for the A/B update system.

The long term project is to get the stock OS recreated in NixOS. Testing the system using a newer kernel for better Btrfs and Zen performance and faster gamescope (Wayland micron compositor) updates seems like a really interesting project.
