Let me update your heuristics on this. Computer mice are practically obsolete. People use cell phones, not computers. No one needs a cli to run stable diffusion because a mobile web interface was released on day one. 6.6 billion people have a smartphone which is 83% of the world’s population (including the infants). This is about the same number of people who are literate.

4 out of 5 people globally would be able to submit a stable diffusion prompt and view a result. Most would have no idea what the hell was going on or even why it was interesting.
Ask HN: Personal Website Templates
I am sure just like myself there might be many regular readers here who'd wish to have their own website/blog.

LCDs and their ineptitude with non native resolutions deeply annoys me.

Sure, pixels in an LCD are fixed, but even resolutions that are multiples of 2 of their native resolution look like crap. 4K monitor? Surely it can handle 1080p, it's just dividing by 2; four physical pixels for one logical pixel, right? Nope! Looks like horseshit. Seemingly LCD monitors can't divide by 2.

CRTs can handle any resolution within their spec range, so I could render a game at a lower resolution to have more video processing power for other stuff. LCDs? Gotta render everything at native or it looks like horseshit.
I do wish display manufacturers used more display tech in parallel. I'd love the option to buy a modern CRT or a modern LCD or a modern OLED, etc. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, but it seems like on the market, CRT being fat outweighed all other concerns.

Pun intended.
I just ordered $100 TIPS from Treasury Direct... now, if I want to sell it before maturity, it says I need to transfer it to a bank or broker and have them sell? Have you done this? If so, does a bank/broker charge to do this? When it comes to taxes, does the Treasury now send something that shows the interest they have paid? 1099-Int or something? lol. Learning by doing :).
There’s a pretty decent set of info and links to personal profiles on their website. If that’s not enough for a founder to do due diligence, they probably aren’t cut out for VC fundraising.

And someone writing small checks like this is almost certainly not going to be on the board unless the founder is clueless.
This is basically Costco, although it would be even better if it was truly Costco. I mean, they do require your receipt, but they can often look it up for you and they usually take returns well past the warranty expiration due to their 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Agree completely. Joe Rogan gets attacked because he is successful ( large audience) and he doesnt constrain himself to the narrow railroad tracks of a particular ideology (which would be incredibly boring).
> I've been making a completely Midjourney-generated "interactive" film called SALT

I stumbled over Midjourney the other day through these music videos[1][2] generated by Midjourney from the songs lyrics, and I immediately thought we're not far away from this being viable for a cartoon-like film.

Interesting times ahead.

Reminds me of what Coast to Coast AM became under George Noory, too. Art Bell would occasionally offer some pushback or a sliver of skepticism towards his more out-there guests, but Noory typically let them barge ahead with their sales pitch unchallenged. (And the last few times I listened to it, it always was an explicit sales pitch of some sort.)
This is exactly Marx' thesis. He took capitalists on their word with respect to believing that competition will drive margins towards zero over time, and that as a consequence cutting labour is inherently a pre-requisite for surviving competition, and that as a result that capitalism will eventually, once it runs out of new markets to expand into, start experiencing crises of simultaneous overproduction and under-employment.

If he was right, it can be "patched" and made to work with a sufficient level of redistribution to avoid such crises, or left to fail catastrophically without.
Only relatively recently some smaller scale experiments in that direction were done in a few German cities, and service improvements were indeed found more effective in gaining additional passengers.

"Both have learned what is politically correct from society"

There's a huge distinction you're glossing over. Past generations thought that exclusionary language was just fine and that exclusionary behavior was also just fine. The Gen X and Y kids were raised being "told" that exclusionary behavior and language were not acceptable, but it was not a native part of their culture and had to be learned, accepted, adopted through effort. That's the era that coined the phrase "political correctness" mostly as a pejorative term for the efforts to change people's behavior. Adults who were set in their ways were reluctant, but kids heard it and absorbed it. The current generation are being raised to inherently believe that exclusionary language is unacceptable and are self-policing because it's the predominant ethos. It's no longer a lesson to learn, it's a cornerstone of our society to protect. Obviously this varies a lot region by region and even child by child, but it's seemingly past a tipping point.
You did this? Nice job!

> Please also check out Keysharp, a WIP fork of IronAHK, another complete rewrite of AutoHotkey in C# that tries to be compatible with multiple OSes and support modern, v2-like AHK syntax with much more features than this one.

Fascinating, lots to check out here. Thank you.

BTW this kind of work falls into poweruser tools IMO, which is an important area for cultivation of Linux Desktop focus. Traditionally in the Linux community this has been more of a distro-maintainer's support choice (offer poweruser tweaks and tools, or not) so it's always nice to see new distro-independent, non-dev-poweruser options coming into being.
This sounds like a great idea. If you can help simulate non-determinism and faults that will take it to the next level.
There's pros and cons.

On the con side:

- When people get something for free, they often don't value it as much and treat it worse. E.g. more pollution.

- public transportation being free also means that it will be used even in cases where it is both economically and ecologically a suboptimal solution. This is a problem because more usage means higher costs. E.g. someone now might take a bus instead of cycling.

- Less competition. This point is tricky, but essentially, other solutions such as private long-distance busses (which have a comparibly good ecological footprint) might go out of business. In general, market might develop suboptimal.

There are a lot of good points too, which makes it a difficult decision. But since you asked, those can be named as reasons I suppose.

This article is interesting as a lesson, and resonates with the ways I learned about computers and technology in a rural area.

But something else is happening now which is also interesting: rural broadband. As a result of actions taken by President Obama many years ago--according to my family at least--the area where I grew up will be getting broadband internet very soon.

This particular remote area will likely never get mapped on Google Street View, but people who live there will soon be able to watch netflix and do other things we often take for granted online.
Paul Graham does something similar. (He's blocked me and we've never interacted.) He said somewhere that he blocks people when he sees them behaving badly, or something like that, and that in the past when he has randomly stumbled across somebody he had previously blocked and taken a second look at their tweets he's felt only vindication.

Now, look, Graham blocked me on these grounds, so I'm not thrilled to say that I think he's completely right about this. I block people I haven't interacted with all the time. Not everybody on twitter is a good actor there, even if they're nice people in other contexts, and it makes life easier to kick some of those people to the curb before they're even aware you exist.

I probably said something tendentious or snarky or unfair or maybe even mean and I might have blocked somebody for the same thing, were the shoe on the other foot.
> You can also mark “ride or die” on items

Is that what the mark is called, "ride or die"? That would be very un-corpo-like, but I would welcome it.
> I think this is why he is so popular, 90% of the media is all saying the exact same message and if you deviate from it you get cancelled or your show/platform dropped. Americans are not dumb, they don't like being preached to and talked down to which is why Rogan's show and guests are so popular as many of them are saying things which are not heard on any of the other media outlets.

I'm really confused by this stance, because the top podcasts are never swarmed by one specific perspective. On my apple podcast the podcasts on "top episodes" lists for me both the nyt daily and ben shapiro in the same top 5. If I filter to news podcasts only, they're the top 2.
Yeah, the good thing about eBay's design is that their listings are (mostly) seller-centric rather than product-centric. There's no dice roll (or obfuscation) of where the product comes from when you order a product. The feedback rating that you see above the fold on the majority of listings is the seller's feedback.
I don't think it only benefits city-dwellers. Sure, on the countryside the service is much worse, but on the other hand, the money spent per person might even be higher in the countryside.

I think the best way to start a business generating electricity is to start a business making individual businesses, buildings, and homes more self-sufficient with their electricity needs based on their surroundings rather than thinking in terms of power plants. For example, if the building is near a river, using the river to spin a generator or using windmills in high wind areas, etc. There was actually a pretty cool example of this on the show Dirty Jobs. A guy harvested methane from his animal's poop to power parts of his farm.

To answer your questions.

1. Create your own vertical based on your surroundings. There are really only two ways we currently make electricity, spinning a turbine which then spins a generator, and photovoltaics.

A generator can be made from an electric motor. Figure out how to spin your generator and you are making electricity, or buy some solar panels.

2. Be familiar with Maxwell's equations (these equations explain how both generators and electric motors work), how to read and understand loss charts for wiring, College level circuits, and most importantly safety.

3. Learn basic electrical safety and high voltage electrical safety. High voltage safety is different because of the potential for arcing and it can "grab" you.
>> Be suspicious of roles that compensate you with status or non-financial rewards.

> This is the worst, to me. Purely financial motivation is one of the surest ways to be trapped in a role you hate. Make sure what you do offers you personal and social rewards that you value.

Money is fungible for a great many things in life- the risk you take working for other things (ideals, status, etc) is that, if you become disillusioned, you're left with nothing.

This has happened to friends of mine in social work. They believed they could make a difference, went through all the hoops, kept up with the continuing education and licensing requirements (not covered by the state, obviously) and after years completely disillusioned from the bureaucracy and human nature.
>Strike up a conversation with other people who lift weights.

This sounds/looks very interesting, but I am not sure what the use-case is, from what I can tell the quality is pretty low in the demo (and can't full-screen), isn't something like TeamViewer a lot more performant (being p2p)?
> it's orthogonal to relevance of content

I disagree. The way content is presented matters. Splitting an article into 4-6 pages and filling those pages with ads makes me not want to read that content. I'd much rather go somewhere that has the same text in a single page and only a few ads.
It is simply adding a tiny bit of blur to the entire image.
> They've almost all died out

I'm a member of a few active old-school forums. The reason they didn't grow like StackOverflow did is because you really need to spend a lot of time reading through garbage (small talk, etc) to get to the good stuff.

The answer to the question (as posed in the title), might be 3 pages away. With StackOverflow, the answer is almost always immediately under the question since it's been voted into that position.
Adding to this: depending on where you live, the rodent issue is made worse by the vipers they attract. I generally don't mind snakes, rat snakes are actually quite nice, but I think most people don't want to worry about a rattlesnake nipping their heel when they step out their front door. This is made worse by the selective pressure humans place on rattlesnakes to discourage rattling (those that rattle get noticed and killed.)

I think there are probably better ways to address this problem than mowing grass right up against your house though. Ringing your house with mulched gardens or even gravel patches (particularly french drains, in areas prone to flooding) is a good alternative, presuming you don't have a HOA forbidding it..
Professional marketing person here.

I think this is pretty neat! I would definitely consider chucking a few dollars into something like this. Especially since it has a nice, niche target audience.

My concerns:

- These are pretty spendy for CPM ads, and we almost never do CPM because of low historic RoI.

- We're not going to spend any money on any advertising unless we can approximate how much business it brings us. For digital, that means we need something like UTM. And if we are using UTM, we are basically getting the exact same information Google would be giving us. And we would still get complaints from developers. So not sure what tangible difference it would bring us.

- Developers (technical people) are a pretty lousy group to advertise to. They make the cheapest, whiniest customers (sorry!). But if I had a niche product, this could certainly be very appealing.

The wikipedia article you are referring to doesn't even mention rape of children.

She later admitted to making "“exaggerated” reports of sexual crimes by Russian soldiers in order to get Ukraine more weaponry.[24]"

Look, I don't have a problem with Rogan (I grew up watching NewsRadio and Fear Factor), but this isn't even the best interview with Zuckerberg. That would be when Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg interviewed him at the D Conference back in 2010 and he sweat through his hoodie. And no, they weren't even challenging him or pushing back on him super hard -- he was just that unable to answer basic questions about privacy.

Swisher has had him on her podcast multiple times since then and also had very good, very substantive interviews with him.

Side note: Zuck has clearly invested many, many, many hours in media training over the last decade or so and it has paid off. He's still far from a good speaker but he's so much better, it's honestly impressive.
Where Starlink is available that helps a lot too. My brother has it up on coastal Maine and I could definitely work up there now--as well as stream videos. That certainly wasn't possible on the old 1Mbps down (on a good day) ADSL that used to be there. AT&T cell is marginal at best too although Verizon is a little better.

> What's interesting about Rogan is you can often find theses talking head types getting easily flummoxed by normal questions that are outside of the ritualized interactions they're used to. Watch Rogan talk to Shapiro about his criticism of Colin Kaepernick, or him asking Bari Weiss why she calls Tulsi Gabbard an "Assad toady." He seems to like both of them (perhaps even to the poitn where both are friends), but his simple questions end up making both of them look completely foolish. And because he's genuinely curious and doing it in a non-aggressive manner, it doesn't get lost in the furor of a antagonistic debate format.
