It's not nice what I'm about to say, but maybe it would be better in the long run if the SLS blew on the launchpad. It's not manned, so it won't lead to loss of life. It would lead to program termination, which is a good outcome.
There are probably many simple yet effective applications of diffusion models such as this. Many SaaS businesses and startups waiting to happen.
Poorly worded bounty, IMO.

Yeah, the simplest possible circuitry for driving a flat panel TV from HDMI (except the HDCP block, which AFAIK can be placed inline before the display logic) would be to declare the 720i/p capability and then just... pump the data straight onto display interface with some buffers here and there meaning to drop the porches, driven all by HSync/VSync signal recovered from the HDMI clock. :V
LOL! More than a billion dollars to refill a rocket with fuel? You are bugging.
because in most cases you don't become financially independent by developing your own proprietary project.

The last *job* I had was over 20 years ago.

And I am not alone --- I know others who have done similar --- but not by way of open source.

including providing support.

True --- but the difference is, I can actually *pay* others to do most of this for me. My primary job is developing new software.
You're right, I do understand that if it takes days to dry, the dampness has a good chance of allowing mold to form, and that can be extremely harmful.

It's not particularly unrealistic.

Advertising is popular on the web for historical reasons. Content delivery advanced much faster than payment, so for ~20 years ads were the easiest way for many sites to pay the bills. Nobody was sure what else to do.

But that's no longer the case. Soft paywalls have been around for circa a decade, so selling subscriptions while letting your content self-market is viable. Content creators also have plenty of direct revenue options. Patreon is doing something like $2 billion/year in revenue for creators. Twitch became a huge platform without ads, just allowing direct cash transfers from fans to creators. And that's not even counting the ~$50 billion/year now spent on streaming and VOD in the US.

On the other side of it, per-ad revenue has been falling for decades. I helped start a content site and keep in touch with people in that area. The reason so many ad-supported sites look like absolute shit is that to make any money, you keep needing to up the amount of ads you run, making them more and more annoying to overcome learned ad blindness. So advertising is slowly strangling itself, leading to lots of people using ad-blockers, and counter-ad-blocker technology becoming widespread. What sane person would start an ad-funded content business today?

A world-wide web with little or no advertising is not only plausible, it looks like that's where we're headed.

It's not harder than it sounds! Pi-hole is the most popular one (could it be the most individually self-hosted FLOSS service if we don't count stuff like SSH?) but you have various options and it's not that tricky to roll your own based on dnsmasq or unbound. If you're on openwrt there are two options with Luci web-UI as well.
The previous posts were only about Google specifically, this includes all common trackers. It also suggests a live demonstration that I haven't seen in this context before. I wouldn't say it doesn't add anything substantial.
No I'm not equating the two. A current starship launch with all the testing and support systems is likely well above a billion dollars right now. Eventual launches will bring the price down, but as we haven't seen a full launch it's hard to tell.
Namecheap is good. They are my registrar, even though Amazon would be easier, because their support + personability makes me feel like I'm dealing with human beings.

Now now, we Slovenians change that depending on who’s asking. Also time period.

Wanna talk economic prosperity, work ethic, and things of such nature? We’re Central European, basically German. Wanna talk partying, good food, sense of humor, and having fun? Proudly Balkan. Unless you want healthy food, then we are definitely Mediterranean. Oh good pizza and pasta? Yeah we’re basically Italian.

Funfact: It is unknown quite how large the Slovenian diaspora is because many emigrants wrote down “Austrian” before WW1 to escape slavic stereotypes in their new home.
They also acquired the IP of Lord of the rings and The hobbit

I bought an HP Victus 16", AMD CPU, 32GB RAM

Ultimately the deciding factor was the price and the GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, it was on sale, and Linux drivers were available for all of the hardware.

The "Arab leaders told the Palestinians to flee" line is an old and tired piece of zionist propaganda, mostly used to "justify" the double standard of barring Palestinians whose grandparents were expelled (by claiming they left of their own flee will) from returning to Palestine, while extending the right of return to foreign Jews whose last ancestors who lived in the region most likely did so under the Roman empire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_1948_Palestinian...

I fail to see why anyone would need to encourage Palestinians to flee, when they were subject to ethnic cleansing such as at Deir Yassin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre

> egalitarian thought was introduced by Native Americans to Europe and that the Enlightenment was based on these borrowed ideas

Not exactly or rather that's not the conclusions I gathered. He points out that Native Americans were fully aware of the European way of life (not innocent & naïve as they were portrayed), and openly mocked it.

>And the book supposedly also portrays mammoth houses i.e. hides stretched over mammoth bones and tusks as an example of monumental public works.

There are actually numerous examples of complex "public" works (irrigation, light farming, monument building) cited to back up the claim that complex societies, or large works of civic architecture were possible without the modern structures of politics, and even royalty.

Much of the book is basically showing how human evolution was not a single inevitable line forward from hunting gathering > farming > complex civilization.

Too much to write here but I enjoyed it (just finished!)
I’m not surprised someone wrote this article, I’m just disappointed it managed to get upvoted so highly on HN. I will flag it.
The main problem is I don't have the ability to only pay for the content I consume.
"Europe"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't more than half of Europe fight, kill, and die to stop the dictator that was killing Jews? But you'd rather the whole continent feels guilty, instead of proud of their sacrifices?
They got their salary for their time. Is that unfair anyhow?
SLS was never needed for a moon program. I don't knew where people get this idea.

You can use commercial rockets to go to LEO and stage of from there. I don't know why this is hard to understand. NASA knew this in 2011.

> I don't think it's a good idea to entirely depend on SpaceX for heavy lift rockets or human rated space flight.

They wouldn't have to. You have Crew Dragon and Starliner, both have potentially multiple rockets they could go on.

> I also don't understand your point about Orion not being able to go to the moon.

The point is that the Orion Service Module developed by ESA is seriously under-powered and NASA has to design around those constraints (and btw its an additional cost of SLS/Orion as this is paid for by NASA not ESA).

Orion can't go into LLO and back.

Battery life for one [1]. Many compare the Dell XPS 13/15 to the MBA/MBP and the XPS has realistically less than half the battery life [2] (the 5.5-7 hours being listed as "feasible" there also requires turning down the display brightness a lot).

The 2011 Macbook Air was heads and shoulders above anything else at the time for that combination of size, cost, power and battery life. Literally nothing else could compete on all of these factors. I mean Linus Torvalds used one [3] (and still does [4]).

On a pure hardware front, the M1/M2 Macbooks are at a similar point where nothing else can compete with that combination of price, power, battery life and form factor, to the point where people will run Linux or Windows on them. You can say it's not for you. You can also say you don't like OSX. That's all fine.

But anti-tribalism is just another form of tribalism. Being irrationally anti-Mac is no better than being irrationally pro-Mac. I'd argue it's worse because the anti-Mac tribalists think they're better than the pro-Mac tribalists.

Guess I should move elsewhere. What is everyone using for domains and DNS these days?
I don't really care about their bottom line. They're the middle-men. Virtual landlords. They're there to squeeze the lemon.

Not to say that the service they provide isn't useful. It's obviously more economical to operate media platforms at scale, and obviously most content creators don't have the technical ability to do it themselves.

When you look at say, podcasts for instance, you have this giant shared wealth of free content and you can pick a number of creators to support depending on your budget. You usually get extra episodes or perks as an incentive for doing so. Imagine if, instead of paying YouTube X dollars or watching Y ads and letting them choose out how to spread that money around, you pay the people you actually watch and the platform vendors, who ought to be the least important and most replaceable factor in this transaction, gets the cut they actually deserve.

Before they were ruined by copyright trolls, streaming services like Netflix demonstrated that charging everyone a reasonable amount of money for access to the entire park was a viable business model.

Why would one care about reference equality of anything in Javascript? It's not like memory addresses are a concept on that language.
It is only a relatively small problem, because the guy at the helm appears to be not sufficiently successful with his approach. That said, he did have some notable wins ( Alibaba comes to mind ), so whether we discount is as luck or something else, the approach mirrors venture's unicorn search ( 19 will be busts, but one will be a massive payoff ).

Separately, just because Son is losing a lot does not mean that a better equipped investor won't try to do the same, but better. At that point, this strategy would absolutely be an impediment to regular consumer.
I tend to agree, but for a few years now, Firefox has become an ad delivery vehicle for Mozilla. While not as bad as anywhere else on the web, it seems that Mozilla is working hard to destroy their brand value by pushing notification ads for its VPN service to mobile Firefox users (which is a violation of the Google Play ToS), and by using the firefox-was-upgraded page for VPN spam.
Ask HN: How do you get feedback from potential customers of a startup idea?
I have an idea for a software application for the animation industry. However, I'm having trouble getting any feedback from people in the industry.

I've tried a bunch of different approaches. People will sometimes respond if I vaguely say "can I ask you a couple of questions?", but as soon as I mention new product idea, they stop responding.

Any tricks? What worked for you?
Move fast and break things aka... move fast and cash out before regulators catch you.
IMO you shouldn't be interpreting passwords at all, besides maybe enforcing a minimum length of 4-6 characters. Other than that you receive a string from the user and you just hash it as is.

KE isn't really relevant except in repeated braking.

It's air resistance scaling as F=kv^2 or P=kv^3 that does it. Doubling the effort drops time by just over 20% in the aero dominated regime. Perceived doubling of effort is more likely 30-50% more power which is 8-13% less time.

You're often faster saving those muscles for taking off from the lights or climbing the hill in a commute type situation than adding 2-7kph to the straight.
> Unfortunately NASA doesn't have the ability to even appear to fail explosively while SpaceX can afford to laugh about it.

It's the curse of waterfall budgeting. A democratic government with typical constraints wants to minimize spending and to have all spending fully accounted for in advance.

"I dunno, maybe it will blow up this time?" is not an acceptable line-item under either standard.

Therefore, budgets must plan for success and design failure out of the process. Minimizing risk maximizes process and cost, ironically sacrificing the very low-cost public policy goal at the feet of risk intolerance. Instead of fifty SLS launches, of which the first dozen or so might fail as learning experiences, we get five that all must go flawlessly.

True "risky" development is reserved for programs of true national urgency (e.g. the original defense focus of the space race) or for programs that can operate well outside the public's watchful eye.
Numbers aren’t as easy as one would think because of the size of integers and endianness. Also, some languages need to convert their dynamically sized integers to 32- or 64-bit C integers.

For arrays, multi-dimensional ones are tricky, as is returning them from calls.

And then, there’s structure, with C’s insistence that fields in a structure get stored in declaration order and structure padding.
Loss leaders are fine, but it should be illegal to run at a loss in order to drive out competition. (And, I believe, it already is.)
> but to me it seems like old fashioned unix stuff

It's exactly this for me. Unix has been around longer than I've been around and will outlive my career if not my life. Components have been successfully updated and replaced mostly without significant disruption. Unix is a model for producing and maintaining complicated systems.
Defending themselves from a genocide in Europe by ethnically cleansing Palestinians? You have a curious way of defining defense.
I can think of a few reasons to exclude a character:

- Requires quoting or escaping in the shell or some other programming environment

- Hard to type on mobile keyboard.

- Not in a given person's touch-typing repertoire.

The correct way to think about password security is as randomly generating a binary string of the desired security strength/length and then encoding it. If you generate 16 random bytes, that's 128 bits of security whether you encode it with hex, base32 or base64.

Required characters also do little to improve security, since there is usually only 1 of each kind of required character, and it's often at the beginning or end. They don't cause the user to select a random string from a meaningfully larger space.
I certainly hope I did not give the impression that I spent a great deal of time editing these files. My zshrc is three lines, the last of which was added in the 90s.
Concur. My 2020 ThinkPad Carbon X1 is so well designed and is of excellent build quality. In terms of laptops, I love it so much, even more than my 2011 MacBook Air. The keyboard is great, the screen is great, the Lenovo software is un-instrusive, the battery lasts quite a while, the charging port is durable, the body is durable, the dock drivers actually work, it feels nice to hold, … I could go on.

I’ve done quite a bit of developing and field-debugging with it. Haven’t had any complaints, beyond the unavoidable “My neck hurts.” and “Why is Windows choosing now to prompt me to use OneDrive, scan for viruses, update its search index, and install some mystery .NET runtime updates!? I only have 30% battery left!!”
My favorite experience was with the backspace character. One of our cli tools accidentally saved them in a password store. The user can show his password but the console interpreted the backspace and therefore everything looked normal. That discovery was truly funny. Null byte characters create a funny user experience too. A user has an issue with an input, then I go and fix the problem by typing the same thing again and it works. These can end up in passwords too.
idempotent is about the most useless word ever.

When all the words are sitting around at the end of the day, you got a few good ones making dinner, and maybe a clever contraction sitting on the couch, then you have little Idempotent, chewing on a fucking crayon in the corner with a finger in the light socket.
Randomness applies to everybody. "Unfair" is more often used to describe a situation where when those in category A do the same things as those in category B, but only those in one category get rewarded for it. But which category you're in to start with may well be down to random chance.

I think it will likely cost under $10 million.

Liar's Poker
Are welcomes a positive for some people? Or is this like starting Slack conversations with "Hey, how's it going?"

They can be positive for me -- if they provide helpful information, explain -- briefly and courteously -- the expected etiquette of the group and set the tone.

That's the key: the tone. Is this group aiming for broad appeal and trying to be welcoming or is it a clique? Forget, for a second, how the users of the forum/group behave -- are the moderators, the sysadmin messaging and the like conveying the tone that is desired for the group? If a "welcoming newbies" is desired, then a welcoming tone should be used throughout messaging.

Unfortunately, being "welcoming" doesn't usually push away the less friendly/welcoming users. Being unwelcoming will certainly attract them and almost every forum site falls victim to it. It usually presents itself the first time you attempt to post something with a full page list of "WE KILL USERS WHO DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:", many items in red, often with words that "outsiders" don't recognize so they can't be certain they're violating them. Most posts, then, are from insiders with many "pissing matches" (we get bored, I guess?). Outsiders get trampled on and people complain that "we need better forum software that solves trolls/jerks" :)

I find myself agreeing with you in the respect that "welcome messages" are at least pointless. Fix everything else that isn't user generated, replace moderators with people who have empathy for new users, if "noise" becomes an issue (as it would on larger sites), machine learning coupled with requiring moderation for "first posts"[0] goes a long way. Generally speaking, though, you can't fix dicks. Most of the dicks on the niche forum sites are also the most knowledgeable users and the reason the forum site is so popular ... smaller forums, they're the ones running things. :)

[0] I'm thinking of the bigger problems QA sites get into where new users post the same question, causing hundreds of identical answers because new users often don't figure out how to craft the perfect search query (depending on the kludgy-ness of the forum software) before they figure out the reply/post button and they're usually making that first post because they have a headache already.
Word is they will need to bring the rocket back to the VAB to fix the engine issue so we're now looking at an October launch date. (Might need to swap engines)
“Your opinions are no longer valid and will not be acknowledged. Please stop talking.”
I see I'm getting downvoted: why?

I'm a thoroughly average 33-year-old, for what it's worth :) I don't mean to imply that we shouldn't continue strive for growth and development as we age, but I certainly am not as mentally quick or energetic as I was ten years ago. There is very little chance I will suddenly transform into jwz or John Carmack or <insert name of legendary hacker here>.

On the bright side, I am a better communicator and strategic decision-maker, and am more satisfied with my life as it is.
This looks really cool, but how do I select which microphone it uses for filtering? If I choose "Noise Canceling source" as the input device like the guide suggests, is that source picking up noise from my laptop's internal microphone, my usb headset microphone, or my bluetooth headphones' microphone? I don't see an obvious way to control that.
That's not how a launch cost is calculated. The cost of the rocket's construction is included in every launch, hence the cost going down with subsequent launches. RND costs must also be included, as well as support system costs, staff costs, etc. Also, current starship designs require refurbishment between launches, as well as an expensive set of checks and tests on systems. 1 billion as the cost for the first fully test launch is not at all out of the ballpark.
