That is an even better link that I missed, thanks!

I do think that a lot of these sites date all the way back to 2013, to a blog post that was referenced in one of them: https://www.nohello.com/2013/01/please-dont-say-just-hello-i...

I guess it's actually very much like that xkcd about standards: https://xkcd.com/927/

Yeah - Directus certainly provides a lot of value out of the box. We're a bit more razor-focused on a code-first approach vs. Directus, as the content model is stored directly in the database rather than being defined in a version-controlled schema. And in Payload it's much easier to swap in your own React components / customize the admin UI. But we really respect the Directus team for sure!

Not really a copy. I'm sure you could cajole it into something very similar to the actual piece, but at that point it's more the model + the extensive prompt instead of the model itself.

I'd be tempted to nuance that:

In all cases I veer towards sharing explicit details. If users choose to not understand it fully that is fine. I don't like 'dumbing-down' or simplifying taking away explicit details with no easy way to get it in the same place as the 'simple' exposition.
I think my employers IT policies have a lot to do with it, but fans on my laptop do spin up in the middle of the night. It can be annoying.
I'm tired of people acting like it just came into being out of nowhere. I've known about the training of the model for months, and about the predecessor Latent-Diffusion for a long time.

I did not compare cloudflare to a private association of volunteers. I am suggesting they are comparable to a private for-profit firefighting company. Can you respond to this?

If KF farms hires a private for-profit firefighting company, and then political activists commit arson against KF, should the private for-profit firefighting company put out the fire? Or does your political ideology oblige firefighters to side with arsonists?

That UI is really fucking good imo, and good UX around this stuff is massively undervalued.

Hey HN!

I’m the main developer of bankrank.io, but I’m part of a passionate team of financial-techies. We were inspired by credit card churning, which is when people cycle through credit cards to optimize their rewards [0]. We wanted to apply a similar approach to checking and savings accounts so consumers could maximize their interest rates and minimize fees. There are approximately 10,000 banks and credit unions in the US that offer deposit accounts, and since banks can change rates and fees on a daily basis, there’s huge variance what constitutes the “best” account at any given time.

Additionally, we noticed that most existing financial blogs/tools don’t provide a wide view of the market. Sites like nerd wallet, bank rate, or businessweek cherry pick a list of products that partner with them to provide kickbacks, referrals, or pay for exclusivity, which is why you’ll often see “Advertiser disclosures” at the top of their articles [1, 2]. We wanted to build a tool that enables users to query as much data as possible, and make an informed decision without bias. We currently monitor hundreds of products, and we’re adding more to our catalogue each day. To that end, we don’t serve ads, monetize user data, or allow banks to pay for sponsorships or preferred placement. Instead, we plan on monetizing premium features which offer convenience to users, kind of like “managed deposit accounts as a service.”

We also exclude products and tiers which require activity such as setting up direct deposits and spending thresholds, or products that do not offer interest rates on account balances. Your money gets loaned out to other people who pay interest to the banks, and we think you deserve a portion of that without having to jump through hoops.

Along those lines, we show the minimum and maximum balance range that earns the listed APY for each account. If a product has multiple tiers, each gets listed separately. We also set the minimum balance to whatever is required to both earn the advertised interest rate and avoid monthly fees. We found that many banks allow you to open an account with lower balances, but will charge you a recurring fee until your balance reaches a threshold. We consider this a “dark pattern” in banking, so if the balance listed on our site is higher than the bank’s, it’s probably because the bank is charging hidden fees.

We’d love to get the community’s feedback on our proof-of-concept. There are 3 pages you can visit:

- bankrank.io, where you can see a demo gif and read about some features.

- bankrank.io/search, where you can search and compare products.

- bankrank.io/waitlist, where you can read more about the premium product we’re building, and signup to join the alpha version when it launches (u can also access it via the “coming soon!” tags on the landing page).

Do we consider stuff like DNS, BGP to be public service? I mean, Cloudflare can affect everyone who uses Internet.

The original point was autophagy reactivates mTOR. This isn’t a linear system. It could be that a 20-hour fast downregulates mTOR more than a 30-hour fast. (We know it works at 72 hours.)
I've been using the main fork. This even has GFPGAN built in! Looks very useful thanks.
No, I'm arguing that it's a good thing. There are some who argue that a language's tooling should be written in said language, but I argue that that's putting the cart before the horse, that the tooling should be fast and efficient first and extensible second, because there are many more who are tool users than tool creators, so we should optimize for the former. There is also no reason that someone who is so interested in tooling could not also learn the tool's language, like Rust, and contribute that way.
No, it appears the "technologists" here on HN (such as yourself) are now people who are techno-pessimists through and through, don't see the big deal in new breakthroughs, aren't excited about technology at all really, can't extrapolate a trend a few years into the future, and would rather quit their job and do wood working.

Is there another forum where all the hackers went, I think I want to go somewhere else.

Edit: I take the part about wood working, I think that's a reasonable response to the way today's tech jobs make us feel. I know many people who'd like to quit and just work on side-projects (or wood working), but they don't hate technology itself, that's the difference.
What a silly take.

Instagram was barely anything when Facebook acquired it - there was only an iOS app, barely 27m users and 0 revenue. It was a hugely controversial move to buy it for $1B and there were countless articles about how the acquisition made no sense and how Zuckerberg is making a huge mistake.

It's one of the greatest acquisitions of all time and a masterclass in strategy and execution.

you're forgetting the extra gas burnt as a result of that gas not being sold

so at least 2x as much carbon is being produced (and even worse if the flared gas is replaced by coal instead of more gas)
Thank you! Yep, the fact that we ate our own dogfood for over a year really helped us fill in the "nice to haves" all over the place.

How do you do your content nowadays? Git-based CMS? Markdown? Would love to know!
My understanding is that the gas China is reselling is not from Russia, or at least mostly, rather Middle East. Russian energy exports to China are small and without an obvious immediate way to increase it. It is also had that China has no use for si they are a beneficiary too.
Why would you do that? What an awful idea. People made those shows in the 4:3 format, you’d just be adding fluff. This is like adding more description to a book so it becomes an epic novel instead of a novella. I’d say keep to the creators intent…

> I would call it vigilantism which is a type of definitional terrorism.

Only if it's sufficiently political. Lots of DDoS is not. And that bar gets higher for an attack that's minimally violent.
What fiasco? Copilot is amazing. I can't imagine coding without it ever again. If you think it's just for sorting algorithms and schoolbook examples you clearly haven't realized the scope of it. It helps me a lot in the most unexpected situations and constantly still surprises me even though I've used it since day 1.
> If they were "relegated to the dustbin of history", so too would be CF's business model.

If DDoS didn't exist I'm sure CF would still thrive as a CDN and all the other services they provide (Argo, Workers, etc).

If anything, I'm sure CF would be more than happy to stop providing DDoS protection for free. They'd save a lot of money.
Grow or Die: A Framework for Turning Your Company Around Fast
Metaphor for what? Supporting harassment to the point of suicide? There's lots of harassment on almost every social media site so the question of what defines it 'going over the edge' so to speak is a very important one to me.
Better than political/web3/VC worship posts
A really key difference that I feel gets missed is the "who swung first" aspect.

A great deal of what gets called "cancel culture" is people reacting to someone behaving in a way that harms others, including but not limited to...

- Discrimination (gender, orientation, religion, race, whatever)
- Harassment
- Threats, ranging from the subtle to the overt
- Actual violence

Quite often, the targets of this behavior have done nothing beyond exist and be honest about who they are and how they see themselves. Their harassers swung first.

To take your porn example (I too am old enough to remember the 90s), the moral majority was swinging first. They were offended by porn, but no one was forcing them to consume it. No one was threatening or harassing them.

Maybe the right wing (which is where the moral majority centered as well) should consider why they keep swinging first instead of why sometimes people swing back.
Leave it to HN to prioritize this weird bastardized philosophical theory of free speech over actual people who have been harassed, doxxed, and driven to suicide. This isn’t even a case of “simple” hate speech which this community views as morally gray, it’s straight up harassment and violence.

It doesn’t help that the focus of these harassment campaigns are people that right wing tech types have little sympathy for, but this thread is one of the more ridiculous examples of how much “free speech” has become an infallible ideology that must be defended regardless of who it hurts, or kills in this case.
Nailed it.

Payload's config is straight up TypeScript. Import a React component, pass it to your config, and boom — it shows up in your admin UI.

Everything is written like that and this is certainly where we shine!
Those principles could lead to taking on some really awful clients, though. Think of e.g. companies like IBM that provided support to organizations engaged in genocide.
I agree it probably made sense for Snap, but it is still a shame when a product people liked gets shut down when in a different context, their traction would have been considered a success.
The parent may be non-profit, but OpenAI LP accepts investments and delivers returns to investors like any other regular company. The only difference is that they 'cap' the returns. However, the cap is negotiated with individuals investor and I haven't seen anything disclosing the cap except for the fact that in the opening round the cap was 100x the initial investment.

100x seems like a pretty generous cap to me.
This is not hyperbole.

a) A lot of gas is feedstock for chemical reactions generating products e.g. fertilizer. Russia is burning that gas and creating 100% pollution rather than useful products.

b) For all the Russian gas would have been burned in Europe, this effectively doubles the pollution because Europe has to replace the gas that Russia is flaring off from alternate sources.
Can you elaborate on “is in no way a typical hosted ASP.NET app”?

I get that the machinery under the hood is different (ie. Kestrel web server may not get used). However, we typically don’t care about those details. Our ASP.NET code runs in 3 separate places (containers, servers, Lambda) and the only difference between all 3 is a single entry point file.

Do you mean because Lambda is only serving one request at a time and has a more ephemeral host process lifetime?

This behavior pre-dates Chrome. I get "Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure" in Firefox today, and if I'm reading the patch correctly [1] this dates to when it gained localStorage support in 2006. Quickly looking I can't find when this was added to WebKit, though.

This is fast approaching the whole, "why is anyone morally required to do anything?" sort of existential discussion.

The US Government has laws in place like this because those were written as founding principles and interpreted in certain ways by our legal system over time. That's only it. But it's all calvinball in the end. Congress could strike the 1A from the constitution, or all our courts could start ruling against the 1A tomorrow. We're just making it up as we go. Now this would likely result in a mass uprising, but that's besides the point.

The only reason why this is a thing right now is because CloudFlare(a) is in a position to stop digital protection of Kiwi Farms (and thus force them to fully own the consequences of their speech), and (b) has explicitly chosen not to do anything about it, much to the chagrin of myself and a whole lot of other people. My belief, as is the belief of others, is that Kiwi Farms are violating their TOS and should be removed. That's it. CloudFlare, like Calvin when playing Calvinball, is deciding to make it up as they go, and we aren't happy about that.
> We'd all be happier if everyone was politically correct

Me 'being' politically correct doesn't mean me 'supporting' or 'enjoying' being politically correct. I don't, and 'being' politically correct makes me unhappy. I don't know how I can simplify further, but it does seem to be a semantic point.

I just don't want to live in a world where society is governed and censored by big corporations. Wanting them to do so to further my worldview invites others to further the worldview of people I oppose. Leave the governing to the government, especially when it comes to systems with very broad usages (social networks, internet infrastructure, etc.)
The Oxide Supply Chain
This branch of research and technology is going to have immense impact.

It is basically visualization of words and expressions, and I expect we will see it woven into many parts of our daily life in the near future.

It will not put artists out of business, although it may significantly impact stock photo services. Everywhere you look - any place that has a photo or illustration - may soon be using generated images. I even expect meta versions which can take large amounts of text (such as an entire paragraph or essay) and generate images which seem to fit the topic or feel.

This tech will give non-artists the ability to express and visualize ideas (for fun or profit), and it will be a boon to professional content creators who labor over image collection and selection.

Heck, at some point the images will be generated on the fly by our browsers for content or even ads.
OK, makes sense.

Using your preferred metric, we have about the same LFPR we had in 1980. It has gradually varied since then between about 81% and 85%.

> The shape is the same, with a peak at ~1999.

The trend is up since 2015, apart from the Covid dip.

Automation and AI have not had a dramatic effect yet on LFPR. Maybe there's a tipping point to come.
That would be an interesting experiment to try the exact same examples from the show.

I disagree but am open to being corrected. It's possible that for a TM named X there is a proof that it halts in ZFC+CH and there is a proof that it does not halt in ZFC+notCH. This would mean that X does not actually halt but that ZFC+CH contains a non-standard model of the integers [1] where BB(n) = some non-standard integer.

There is nothing inherently wrong with using criminals (or other unreliable sources) as sources, most journalists in the space do so.

The issue arises when you report on it without clearly disclaiming/disclosing that its a single, unreliable source and that you have been unable to externally verify the facts.

Mistakes happen, and that's fine. But in recent years Brian has been getting a bit slipshod in his verification and disclosure practices, most likely due to competition in the space and the need to publish fast.

Geez I hope that's not true. Cookies and localStorage serve a very different purpose. localStorage is exactly what it says: local storage. Cookies are sent to the server with every request and are quite wasteful in comparison.

I would expect my browser to be accurate of its labeling in the user settings.
