not really. Go has no concept of truthy:

and I fully support that decision. If you want to use a boolean, you need to be explicit about it.
Slightly contrary opinion.

I've had an M1 Air for over a year and use it for development. It's the quietest and fastest machine I've had (and I've had i7s and Ryzen 7 Pros). I never need to worry about the battery life as it goes on and on. Despite only having 8GB I've never hit memory issues even doing C# development on it. Oh, and it never even gets warm.

And yet I've decided to sell it, and am now using a second-hand HP ProBook with an i5 processor. Slower, hotter, and only half a dozen hours of battery life.

But it's a trade-off for what I value the most, and for me that's one thing for two reasons: the keyboard.

Firstly, even on this ProBook the keyboard has better feel and a much better layout. Whilst the M1 Air keyboard beats the last few years of Intel machines it is a poor second on the keyboard to a fair number of otherwise average alternatives. Even such basics as having Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys and a hash symbol, and keys that actually travel.

And secondly how keyboard-friendly the OS is. Whilst this may seem controversial, in my admittedly personal opinion with decades of experience using both platforms macOS is not a patch on Windows 11 (or 10) when it comes to keyboard use. The macOS UI feels like a toy and requires constant use of the mouse/touchpad.

So yeah. Great machine. Far superior hardware in the main. Just for me the keyboard hardware and the keyboard usage is a Windows win (and Mint as it happens) and on balance that's important enough (again for me) to switch back.

YMMV of course.

Edit to add: Great performance. Great for development (other than the keyboard). Docker is usable. And the 8GB M1 seems to behave as I'd expect a 16GB Windows laptop to, so Apple have some very good memory management/paging.

Chrome is not to be trusted; this I agree with. Chromium forks on the other hand, like brave or vivaldi, have none of these problems. The former has already committed to not implementing this garbage restriction on blockers. Chromium's engine is solid from a technical standpoint and doesn't have any inherent privacy issues aside from being owned by Google engineers.

If it sounds like I'm holding Firefox to a higher standard, I am. Their own positioning in their own marketing is based on a moral stance on privacy and "empowering the user". They have demonstrated that this stance is held out of marketing convenience rather than sincerity.

Chrome is the devil you know, you know it is made by an ad company, is filled with tracking, and will always act to support that. Firefox is… Not who they make themselves out to be. That's almost worse in a way.
Yep, it's been a game changer and I happily spent the money.

it should have asked you about that broadcasting. i am very sensitive about that so i am careful not to allow it.

deltachat is pretty mature for the features that it has. one nice one is that the autocrypt feature works with some regular email clients, so you can exchange encrypted deltachat messages with people who don't have a deltachat client.

it handles groups, image sharing, and integrates videochat with a configurable url (so you can use any video chat that can be opened through a webbrowser)
Apologies for the delay. There were a lot of questions so wanted to answer all of them in one shot.

>Why do you test for hsCRP and not CRP?
What exactly can I learn from my hsCRP values? What can I learn from hsCRP that I can't learn from CRP?

hsCRP stands for high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, while CRP stands for C-Reactive Protein. Both tests measure the same protein, but hsCRP tests are more sensitive to lower inflammation levels and can therefore let you measure these lower levels.

See the 'Defining hs-CRP' section in this link for additional details: https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/the-application-of-high...

>hsCRP is a very sensitive marker. If I'd exercise the day before the test and my values would be elevated? What would I learn from my result in this case?

Experts recommend avoiding testing when you might be experiencing an acute (short term) elevation in hsCRP. Some instances that cause short term elevation include bacterial or viral infections and strenuous exercise (like running a marathon). These cause short term elevations in hsCRP because acute inflammation (short term spikes in inflammation) can help the body clear pathogens and heal tissues.
Here is some related scientific literature you may enjoy: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S073510970...

>Will your provide explanations of what influences my individual hsCRP levels and what specific interventions I should take in case they are elevated?

Yes, we focus on lifestyle interventions that help lower inflammation levels. You can find more info here: https://www.begolden.online/post/lifestyle-interventions-ass...

We plan to continue to build on this list

>What is your process if you detect abnormally high hsCRP values? How do you alert your customers of their possibly lethal condition?

The lab results should indicate if your levels are above normal. If you have any questions regarding your health, we encourage you to always seek the advice of your physician or another licensed health care provider

>How does your service provide value to me as a customer apart from me not needing to go to a lab/doctor to get tested?

We provide you the information to take action once you receive your lab results

>Anyways, I don't see much value in getting just hsCRP tested standalone without any other meaningful context. What about my iron levels? Vitamins? Lipid profile? IgG, IgA? HBa1c. On and on it goes. There is a reason that medical doctors collect a host of lab data to make informed decisions about their patients health and which possible interventions induce postive change without interdicting harmful side effects.

We plan to expand our list of biomarkers in the future, as we learn more about our customers
It's not just Graham; it's current site moderation policy, and the rationale has been explained repeatedly (to wit: we don't want meta-discussions about the validity of votes, which are boring and outcompete substantive conversations, since everyone can come up with an opinion about a vote on the fly).
Yeah oddly enough buying from Aliexpress gets you better support (and sometimes newer revisions) of products than the middlemen! A lot of the aliexpress sellers are also willing to do custom orders if you ask nicely.

This is a case of the middlemen removing value instead of adding it.
Water provides the 'energy' that drives many storms. As a bubble (or parcel) or air rises, it cools. Eventually it gets cold enough to condense water (some of which forms rain). This heats the parcel of air, making it less dense than it was and so more buoyant - so it rises faster and invigorates the cloud/storm.

If you have more water around, this process is stronger (as you have more available water to condense and energise the storm), eventually producing more rain.

This is the reason why you see the biggest thunderstorms in the tropics, where it is warm and moist.
that's quite a screed you wrote there. you must feel very strongly about it. amazon has made the choice to exclude ISIS flags, and exact copies of nazi flags, so it's curious why one is allowed and not the other.

your position seems to be from the free-market/libertarian angle that people can print and publish anything they want, sure, okay, whatever... the logical conclusion of this in the free market is that amazon as a private entity is also able to pick and choose what products they choose to sell and associate with their brand name.

People have been solving this by using up-scaling AIs to increase the resolution of their images.

That's actually built in to some of these systems - Google Imagen for example generates a 64x64 image and then up-scales it to 1024x1024: https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/how-imagen-actually-works/
That depends on what the item is. Chinese goods that are sold on the shelves of western retailers have passed some scrutiny by buyers of those respective retailers, and, a retailer in your country will be held to account for any legal requirements of selling said products.

Things that are drop shipped haven't passed any third party scrutiny and nobody involved in the sales process is held to your local legal requirements. They can ship you an unsafe product that may burn your house down or poison your children, and your local legal processes have no power to make you whole again, nor any affect to discourage sellers from cutting those corners for profit.

NPR is a federation of smaller public radio stations. The quality of content under the NPR banner is a broad spectrum: they have good stories and they have some that are crap - biased editorials costumed as objective journalism.

NPR stories on average tend to be higher quality than corporate media news, but I think 'accepted paragon' is quite superlative, out of touch, and lacking imagination.

I would say the law around first sale doctrine has not caught up yet more than it actively disagrees.

> It doesn’t fall under first sale doctrine if you stream a transcoded copy of the DVD you bought. This is why the laws around digital distribution and copyright aren’t exactly the same as the laws around physical distribution and copyright.

I don't think transcoding should matter, at least if it's done on the fly, but also it's entirely doable to throw raw DVD bits over the wire. And neither one should count as a copy any more than shining light onto a book makes "copies".
Wow.... not just any ol' analog computer.... but a computer based off hydraulics!

> We want it to be open source because open source is the only source of services you can run at home or on premises at a small business for a reasonable cost

Many, many HN users want open source primarily for ideological reasons. A closed-source solution (or even a source-available one) is unacceptable for that reason alone, and not related to cost or practicality.
Extinction, no. Gamma ray bursts last for anything from a few seconds to a couple minutes or so. This means that it would only saturate one side of the world with its own direct ionizing radiation. This would severely harm or kill most plants on that side along with many other thin-skinned organisms, but it wouldn't outright kill larger animals and large plants and it wouldn't directly do anything to lifeforms on the opposite side of the planet.

The ozone layer would then of course shrink worldwide, yes, and this would collapse a large part of photosynthesis, causing a probable food chain collapse, but we're impressively adaptable and at the very least, millions of human beings would stay alive sustaining themselves with food grown or raised under adaptive conditions. The rest of nature would also adapt based on what survives, as it always has with previous cataclysms. This would probably help us too.

In other words, humanity would suffer terribly and billions would probably die, especially since this kind of event would be so sudden and unstoppable, but we wouldn't all die and the many survivors would repopulate as the ozone layer regrows too (which would happen over a few decades since it regenerates itself from solar radiation). But yes, bad. There is a theory that a gamma ray burst caused the Permian-Triassic event, the Great Dying, and 95% of life on Earth was extinguished during that time, though much of it was much less adapted to unexpected radiation than many lifeforms on Earth are now, so things could be less severe next time.
The two are quite different when you look at the cost/benefit ratio.
FTC sues data broker Kochava for sale of people’s sensitive location data
Yeah, and to be fair, the reason people think of BASIC as an "interpreted language" is that it's been a victim of its own success. Of course, there's no such thing as an interpreted language, because it's implementations that are compiled or interpreted rather than languages themselves, but the fact that in the 80s, almost every popular home computer would boot to a BASIC interpreter prompt (Macintosh being the primary exception) is what created that idea in peoples' minds.

The unfortunate thing about BASIC is that although there are many and various implementations running on every common computer system and OS, there's almost no portability between implementations. And, in order to do anything beyond a simple, text-based interface, you're going to end up way in the weeds of implementation-specific functionality.

Apologies if this comes off as harsh, but I'd recommend doing your own research on fundraising and common terms rather than trusting potential investors to educate you.

hmm -- I tried converting to float16 just using a naive model.half() call and saw some quality degradation in my images compared to just autocasting parts of the model to float16 while leaving others at float32. Curious if anyone else has had the same experience.
I never could reconcile the "variable geometry pixels" with my meagre understanding that they all had a matrix / mesh / mask at front, I think for separating individual colour pixels... Didn't they?

I'd bet it's a case of sending in batch requests. The office coming up with fake identities sends them all it to the passport office at once and then the passport office proceeds to use their normal processes to issue passports and that processes generates sequential numbers in this case because they are processed one after another. Obviously easy to fix, but also seems pretty easy to happen without anyone realizing

It's interesting how anything related to the gaming space is still impenetrable by the usual SV tech giants.

I mean, its not hard to imagine where this goes next: video (and eventually 3d/VR scenes). Say 60fps -> 2394 frames/60fps = 40 seconds. That's equivalent to driving your car at (3600 seconds per hour / 40 seconds / km) == 90 km/hr. Yes, your GPU is older, but there will also be pressure to increase the resolution and fidelity of the generated content to match.
Turkish case system is more complex than that actually: it has 7 morpho-syntactic (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative-directive, locative, ablative, instrumental) cases along with 11 derivational cases (commitative, associative, semblative-equative, privative, possesive, familial, diminutive, modal, temporal, benefactive, modal-final).

Ok, zero, one, two, or any number of parents. That's even easier.
I don't that "searches it's database for matches" description is a great metaphor for how this really works.

As Andy points out in this article, the model itself is a 4.2GB file. That's way, way too small to work as a "database" of examples it can stitch together.

I think of it instead as an enormous mass of loosley assembled impressions of concepts - everything from a low-level primitive like a triangle to a Star Destroyer. You can use text prompts to combine those primitives - so you could get it to generate something just from dots and lines and shapes, or you could mix in extremely detailed concepts like the Seattle skyline - or anything in between.
Very high level explanation of a SAFE is that it converts on the valuation of your next funding round. Uncapped means that if you raise at a $200m valuation in one year, the SAFE will convert to equity at 250k/200m or 0.125% of the company.

What I saying is the answer to "How do you become financially independent by developing your own proprietary software project?" is "Short answer --- in most cases you don't."

Therefore, your earlier comment was incomplete, as your short answer was also true for non-open source.

I 100% agree with you that open source software development is not a good way to maximize profit. I do not recommend it as a way to develop products. I recommend it mostly for 1) people with external funding, as with research grant funding, or 2) for projects funded by in-house cost reduction (your "open source devalues the work of software development", but with the qualifier that all reusable software projects devalue the work of software development, not just open source ones.)

Which is why in my comment I pointed out one of the (many) factors which make open source software projects harder to monetize that proprietary - the difficulty of adjusting price to reflect market segmentation.

I believe that bringing up structural examples like this are more relevant than pointing to, say, D. Richard Hipp as an example of someone making a good living primarily developing open source projects, or your personal anecdotes of how you and (a handful of?) some people you know profited well from proprietary software projects.
That's not all, they say they can get the model down to around 100MB.

yeah, that's one of the things that would annoy me about him and part of peoples issues with him. Most of the time things are reasonable and cool on the podcast. Guys hanging out, shooting the shit, talking about their job/book/interests. But occasionally he'd have a guest who was pretty out there, and Rogan would just be like "wow cool!" to whatever alternate reality thing they were talking about.

The other thing that bugged me about him is he pretty much has a playlist of topics he hits on most episodes. Hunting, Jiu Jitsu, DMT, etc. It's pretty interesting the first few times but after a while it's gets a little old. I still have a generally favorable view of Rogan but I haven't listened to an episode in years. I think the controversy around him is probably a bit overblown though.

I have a plasma TV that I use for gaming (Panasonic Viera). It's a great display with none of the contrast or ghosting disadvantages of an LCD, but it's heavy, delicate, and most importantly, it puts out a ton of heat. A plasma TV is basically a grid of tiny neon lights.

Like any active display (CRT, plasma, or OLED) it can suffer from burn-in, but I haven't found that to be a problem for my usage.

Castle Rock v Gonzales is probably one of the worst. After a woman with a protective order against her abusive husband was ignored by the police after he abducted their children sued the police department, Scalia basically ruled that police have no duty to do anything to help anyone. Even in a case where you have a court protective order that says the police "shall arrest" someone who violates the order.

The woman reported her children kidnapped and showed the order to the police and they refused to do anything and said she should just wait and he would probably come back.

The man showed up at the police station a day later with her 3 children, dead.

So now we have the precedent that even in the most extreme and obvious cases, police have absolutely no duty to uphold their oath.

Thanks Scalia.
