A big part of me wants to just quit and get a job where I can turn my brain off for 9 hours and then spend my free time dedicating my brain power to personal projects and actually build things. I've stopped all personal projects because after 9 hours at work, the last thing I want to do is sit in that chair for another second.

I, for one, wholeheartedly endorse this plan. I think it's a mistake to expect to derive significant joy / self-actualization / gratification / whatever from your "job". A "job" is just a means to pay the bills - put food on the table, buy gas, pay rent, pay electric bill, etc., to enable you to do the things that you actually enjoy doing. I mean, sure, if you happen to enjoy your job, then that's a nice bonus. My problem is with the idea that your job should the primary focus of your life.

Likewise, if by happenstance the "thing" you do outside of work happens to be very similar to what you do at the job (eg, "programming", just in a different domain) then so be it. That's fine. It's fine to say "I love coding for AI research I'm doing at home, but hate coding the same boring CRUD app at $BIGBANK for 9 hours a day." The big thing to watch for here is IP conflicts, especially if you intend to commercialize what you do at home (or think there's even a chance you might).

If anything, count yourself lucky for coming to this (apparently) fairly soon in your career. It took me a long time to figure that out.
Sure, but the animating story is then coming from a human being (the writer).

Still, I believe that there are dimensions of visual storytelling that go beyond translating someone else’s words into pixels.

The information content in hair distribution is substantial. The genetic program for facial hair must have dozens of bits. Like eyebrows are a pretty specific shape in a specific place.

Eyebrows may have a practical function (avoiding sweat dripping into the eyes) but I suspect the main evolutionary pressure is through mate selection. People with eyebrows halfway up their forehead or below their eyes were sufficiently unattractive that those combinations of genes didn't propagate.

Since hair for the whole body is presumably encoded by some very non-modular genes, hair distribution on parts that aren't important for function or appearance may just be side-effects of changes that affected parts that are important.

Our species lost most of its body hair fairly recently, so the evolution of hair patterns is relatively incomplete.
Where did you find your gigs?
Yeah, IMHO Walmart and Target both have pretty excellent curation. There is a high level of.. consistency to what you get for the price you pay.
It's on an uncapped mfn safe, so the amount of equity will be determined by your other investors.
When each of these first started doing third party marketplaces, it was a surprise. It's not like they announced to the world each time they dipped their toes into the market and each time they expanded it.

I'm not american, but I was very surprised that Walmart had gotten into that business. It would surprise me if similar retailers in my country started this too.

Even if you shop for brands on Amazon you have the risk of getting a counterfeit.

I was shopping for a particular weightlifting belt that is out of stock on the manufacturer's site. You can find them on Amazon but most likely they are not genuine.
I think that's a good way to put it, but there's still a problem.

The path of a digital artist is long and arduous. For a time on this path, the artist may be considered mediocre, or to put it better, they are an apprentice.

Just as in other physical trades, an apprentice who is mediocre at their craft can still practice aspects of that craft well enough to be useful and earn some money. It is also through practice that the apprentice improves their skills. In this way, the apprentice is financially supported and even incentivized to improve at their trade, until one day they become truly good at it.

So what things like DALL-E and Github Co-Pilot and your clip art package do is displace the apprentice. With no path of mediocrity for the apprentice to walk, to earn a stipend for training, how then can they receive the financial support necessary to train until they're a master? They would need to already be independently wealthy or receive financial assistance.

In order to train more master artists and programmers, we would need to provide them with financial support while they train without us receiving anything useful in return.
I am taken a little aback by the name. There is, of course, already the D programming language, which has even had a major version number of 2 for quite some time.

It also brings to mind the JavaScript library d3, which, while not strictly for making diagrams, can easily lend itself to the purpose.

Calling this thing "D2" seems potentially confusing.
Wrong. It flooded the network with vacationers who normally could not afford travelling at all, while workers had to resort to their cars again to reach their jobs in time.

Counting everyone who "would not have travelled by train", meaning "likely not at all" as saved emission is not very convincing.

Why do you think that? Did you lose any messages? 'cause I can scroll back months and still see all my messages there. Never noticed any loss.
I can't speak to the particular 34-key board in the OP, but I've been using a Colemak 60% (HHKB) at home and a full-size QWERTY at work for a few years (after using Colemak almost exclusively for a few years before that) and I can jump back and forth with no trouble at all. It was a little awkward at first, but that was when I was just learning Colemak and had never properly learned to ten-finger-touch-type QWERTY.
Now this makes me happy. In sense it shows problem with breathless commentary on how Amazon can just take over front end and whole supply chain back end under its control without any possible challenge.

I believe even without regulation (not that I disagree with regulating Amazon) once a critical mass of customer think its shady place to buy good quality stuff. It is downhill for Amazon from there.

The life cycle of an article now seems to be 1) legit author in legit place, possibly paywalled, 2) worse copies elsewhere, with or without sources

(I can't say how prevalent this pattern is, but you've seen it too, and if google has any nlp chops at all they are able to measure it in their index)

even bad content doesn't come out of nowhere. an indexing platform that tried to tease out the 'copy of a copy' structure of the web would have a much easier time filtering out the blurry copies.

not saying this is google's job, but they are the architects of the incentive structure here, and are in the best position to fix it if they wanted to

And even earlier than Photoshop or computers. The concern over this reminds me of the era shortly after the development of photography where it was discovered that doing things like multiple exposure allowed the creation of "trick" photographs where you could combine images to create pictures of giants towering over buildings or tiny people playing in teacups. Society managed not to be falsely convinced of the existence of such beings despite the worry that people wouldn't be able to tell fact from fiction in them.
We definitely get a lot more than that for US developers (pricing here: https://www.ethicalads.io/advertisers/#pricing). The CPM is averaged across all the traffic in the network, as most sites have traffic from eg. Poland, as well as the US, and the average ends up quite a bit lower.

We also want to underpromise and overdeliver, so we generally keep our published numbers on the conservative side.
Ask HN: When to release the first version of an iOS app?
I've been working on an iPhone app for the first time while taking some time off between jobs.

It works fairly well, with the occasional bug or two. While it's a simple app, there's definitely a niche market for it and I've seen some interest for it.

The base functionality works well almost all the time, performance is decent (use of SwiftUI notwithstanding).

I'm finally starting a new job soon and my original goal was to release a v1 at that point.

The problem is I'm not sure if I'm at the right stage with the app for it to be in a production-ready state.

It's missing one core feature, although it's not necessary for the main use of the app. There are a couple other bugs I wouldn't mind debugging.

I've had some friends test it out using TestFlight distributions, so I have had some feedback that way.

So my dilemma is: should I release it now and try to do iterative releases the first couple months, knowing it could be busy while I ramp-up to my new job, or just... wait a while longer, hope for some solid free after-hours time when I'll feel like hacking on my own project, and release a first version later at some point?

The one other side-note is it's too simple of an app for ads and I was initially thinking I'd charge a small amount for it. Maybe USD1.99 or similar. But I feel guilty publishing it for that price if I personally don't see it as "perfectly ready", so then I wonder if I should release it as a free app for now and then charge for it later once I have more bugfixes and a new feature or two.

Any advice would be appreciated! I'm not really looking specifically for advice on ads-based freeware / charging for the app / free other than how they are affected with the state of the app at this time.

Thanks.

> Having them right out in the open lets us know who they are and what they're up to.

It also lets them communicate far more easily, facilitate far more harm than they would otherwise be capable of, and recruit new racists as easily as sending a link. Breaking up communities like this is always a positive. It pops their bubble and forces many of them to see the wider world. The community will reform elsewhere, but it will be smaller, weaker, less capable of harm.

Also, racists and transphobes are not going to blindside you. They are very open about what they want and what they plan to do, and they want you to know about it. Consider that not everyone wants to know exactly who they're targeting today.
There is little doubt that Intel Raptor Lake will be better than AMD Raphael at single-threaded tasks, because both will have about the same clock frequency, but Raptor Lake will have a higher IPC.

There is also little doubt that AMD Raphael will be better than Intel Raptor Lake at multi-threaded tasks, even if they now have the same number of threads. The reason is that AMD is made with the much more efficient TSMC process and the consequence is that at equal power consumption the AMD CPUs will reach much higher clock frequencies.

This is the essential difference between single-threaded and multi-threaded tasks, during the former the performance is limited by the maximum turbo clock frequency, while during the latter the performance is limited by the clock frequency at a fixed power consumption, which depends more on the manufacturing process than on the microarchitecture of the CPU.
I feel it's the typical HN reaction to be negative about generated content. I enjoyed it. I think it could have used another pass on editing but I felt the idea was interesting and I wanted to hear it through.

I find myself increasingly frustrated by the low resolution of the images coming out of these systems. It all feels like a huge tease, blocking my brain from deciding whether I should be impressed or not. And at other times I find myself not really interested in looking closer at all and just keep on scrolling.

Micro actions for scrap time – 5 mins or less
I would like to use my scrap time more effectively, What are the actions you can do daily in 5 mins or less that has the potential to change your life. some of my examples (Review reading list, Review goals, send a response, read an article, find a key hire, understand something u do, Donte the 5 mins, ask a question, make a plan, connect with someone, etc... )
Th glucose monitor warns you to take Insulin but, The question for me is what action should be taken after high inflammation is detected? It seems like once an alert goes off, it's just a warning to go see a doctor.

The treatments for inflammation, and the indication of what specifically is causing it, seem to be rather limited to me beyond taking antibiotics or anti inflammatory meds.

Ibuprofen is fairly flawed as a regular treatment for many because of the ulcer risks...
I worked as a teenager for a farm that had been continuously operating since the Dutch colonial era.

There are few continuously operating entities that are 300+ years old in the US. That farm managed to operate for all of that time, but went dormant about 20 years ago. They board horses and lease the land for hay to pay the property taxes, and will probably sell it when the current family owner gets older.

It’s just not possible to compete against scaled agribusiness. To borrow another example in this thread, you can’t sell artichokes from your 500 acre farm when the competition plants 20 square miles of artichokes in a desert with government provided water.

Same with grain. We’re emptying an ancient aquifer in the Great Plains to grow wheat, corn and soy and have eliminated those crops everywhere else as a result. All good until the water runs out.

Yes and no.

We have a wide variety of media outlets to expose experience of different groups. That fulfils what you're looking for. You can find opinions of pretty much any group no matter what.

What your proposal would do, most groups wouldn't get a chance to translate their experiences. Biggest and/or loudest group would dominate the narrative. Everyone else would be tuned out to bigger or smaller degree.

Actually, we already had your solution. Back in TV-dominated era. Only vetted content would make it to the public. With marginal groups silenced. Well, those marginal groups just started tiny podcasts to tell their stories :)

What do you think would happen if you take those tiny podcasts and force them to act like big media of the old days? Can you silence some dude streaming from his kitchen?

Thanks for sharing ... his photography is surreal.
Agreed - the accusation of tribalism may be unfairly over-applied in many cases, like most political criticisms, but, also like many political criticisms, it is extrapolated from an opinion that is more reasonable (regardless of whether it is definitely true), which is that conservatives have, on par, too much party loyalty, and liberals have, on par, too little party loyalty.

>Van Gogh was influenced by myriad artists before him.

> The Impressionists were influenced by myriad artists before them.

Yes. That's why I'm saying, if you can train an AI exclusively on the stuff that could have influenced van Gogh, and coax it into reinventing van Gogh's work, then I'll believe you've developed an AI that's capable of something like the sort of innovation that van Gogh was.

I'm skeptical that what van Gogh produced can be reduced down to a function of the paintings that preceded him, in the way DALL-E is just a big function of all the images it's been trained on. Humans are "trained" on a lot more than images.

This is a good listen/read.
The Alphanumeric Serial Number is not a standard EDID field, but a custom extension of it.

MacOS definitely has a way to distinguish between monitors here, and in other cases too, but they would still have to go through every edge case and try to make sure they don't break previous working setups when including more data for the UUID.

Only a small percentage of the monitors implement those EDID extensions so it's hard to rely on them. At best you can use them as a fallback, but that needs field data which they might not have had when the M1 firmware was written.

The standard serial number field is 0 as you can see, so it's still a monitor bug. Incrementing an integer and compiling it into the firmware is not that hard.
it depends on how big you expect the endowment to be - aka how much capital is your nonprofit going to be working with

are you going to be the sole donor and board member, or are you going to be actually raising donations because thats a full time job

giving grants for coding is hard, it has to match your mission statement that got you the non-profit status to begin with, and the IRS is not enlightened on the concept of coding as a charitable class, but you can have other things like educational purposes, or "sustainability" and give grants to organizations that are ultimately doing coding.

grants and scholarships to individuals are much more complicated, but they can incorporate and nobody cares that the new company is just wrapped around an individual

also, all of this can be circumvented due to the fact that non-profits can invest. growing the endowment is simply asset management and there is no difference in investing in shares on the stock market and investing in shares of a private C-corp that was just formed that just your non-profit filled the seed and series a round for. non-profits can make wild profits, no different than Harvard's endowment growing indefinitely. there are also some cases where investments can count as the grant requirement (if your type of non-profit is one that has an annual grant requirement, via regulation)

yeah the regulations actually make the individual charity part of non-profits really hard and you can do lots of profit making activities! but you can try your goal
True. It’s also possible to go all “Captain Ahab” on a bug, and waste a huge amount of resources, trying to fix a minor problem, or refusing to use a perfectly acceptable workaround.
Wikipedia exists despite all the barriers to doing so, yet remains generally an accurate and useful source of information that Google ranks highly.

Hm, for me Signal does all I need: Chat, voice chat, video chat, group chat, sending text, pictures, videos, whatever. All of that of course encrypted and not financed by a Russian millionaire/billionaire.

> Signal still has message delivery issues (like long delays)…it’s 2022!!!

Haven't noticed those. How sure are you, that your contacts are actually looking at Signal messages (two filled cirles checkmarks) or have network to receive the messages (two unfilled circles checkmarks)?

> Signal keeps pestering me to allow notifications and to allow contacts access. I can only choose “Not Now”, since there is no option that says “No”. When I choose “Not Now”, it will say “we’ll remind you later” and pester me again. I don’t understand why anyone would assume that this app cares about privacy or about users’ time.

OK, that's really annoying then. I usually use Signal on my computer, from which it works very nicely and never asks me any of those things.

It was mainly moxie who was hell-bent against that though. I'm hoping they'll reverse their stance since he left. And on federation as well.

Moxie was against all these things because it would make new features more difficult to implement. But personally I care much more for an open infrastructure. Most of their new features weren't even useful.

I'm currently using a matrix bridge and I didn't get banned (officially that's a third party client too) so that's a good sign.
