If you're at a restaurant and either sitting at the bar or at a communal table, it can be pretty easy to strike up a conversation. I mean sure, not every new connection is going to end up being a lifelong friendship or your soulmate, but exchanging numbers (or more likely, Instagram handles) with people at coffee shops or casual eateries is pretty common.

If you're wondering how to start a conversation, a compliment goes a long way.
I think the better move for most of these folks is to wring as much cash as they can out of their current gig at Shopify and trade up to a new gig with a fresh stock grant at basically any other company. Joining G / Meta right now gives you incredible leverage if things bottom out any time soon.
BQ is saas proper vs redshift where you have to pick instance sizes etc. It’s amazing, true superpower stuff in how little you have to think about it to get loads out of it.
Some specifics sure. I'm looking more into general trends like when creating a Docker image it's a good idea to X, Y, Z and we use this tool to satisfy X.

Or Docker images have K, L problems that Podman doesn't have. However Podman has W issue so you have to decide which pain you want to live with.

That kind of stuff.
not weird at all. this is a huge reason for the rpi’s success

and look at the last 2 years of nvidia gpus. you mentally associate $1,000+ with any gpu. even 5+ year old models. they want to put an end to that, bad for the brand
If any company you depend on uses your phone number for 2FA, then SIMless is useful. A SIM can be removed and put into another phone to receive authentication txts.

Mostly relevant if your phone is lost or stolen, or perhaps even if criminals are directly threatening you. For example, I worry about bank accounts when I travel to some countries because criminals would be highly motivated to steal from me - the only thing protecting me is their ignorance. In some countries a few thousand dollars is a lot of motivation. Unfortunately my primary bank does not provide secure 2FA but only provides phone auth, and I am locked into my bank because of my mortgage (I have a mortgage, and conditions have changed which prevent me from getting a different mortgage from another bank). I could cancel revolving credit (the main financial risk) but that has other opportunity costs for me.

Also SIMless helps prevent unwanted telephone charges - important if roaming in other countries on account. Phone companies do not make it easy to limit your liability, so if you are unlucky you could end up owing many thousands.

Sorry, 5 comments in a few hours triggered HN's rate limiting, "sorry you are posting too fast", so I couldn't reply earlier. Not sure if you'll still see this but since I wrote it anyway:

>And of course non-Citizens presenting for entry at the border are subject to the coercion that refusal to comply will likely result in entry being refused. Noncitizens do actually still have human rights

Certainly, but this sub-thread is specifically about Americans, so that's what I was sticking to. That said yes, non-citizens do not have any right of entry. However, that is the norm worldwide not the exception. There is no universal "human right" to enter any country except as a refugee or someone seeking asylum per ratified treaties or domestic law. The basic idea of a "sovereign nation" is somewhat bound up with the capability of border control and distinguishing the nation from the world. There are lots and lots of very reasonable disagreements on what said controls should be, what exceptions, and so on. But "completely open borders" is a fairly niche position. This at least isn't merely a US thing, I would exercise some level of caution for international travel anywhere on the planet when it comes to personal property and devices, or even just my own liberty. Different countries can have radically different legal regimes. If any of us are traveling somewhere we don't have any inherent legal right to be, then naturally there is some leverage there in terms of what conditions might be set for our entry.

>This data collection is egregious even when applied to noncitizens.

I do agree (and I think it's generally agreed upon in civil liberties circles) that the global increase in data collection, storage, and processing capabilities is not merely "worrisome" but prone to abuse and in fact actively abused. It's a bad thing. I'd personally go farther in that I lean towards the idea that a lot of modern electronic devices should be considered almost as "exo cortexes", extensions of our minds that should have the same kind of protection as the contents of our minds (and that protection should be total). This is another area where tech has raced ahead of societal reckoning.

As far as individual reactions though I'd say the same thing as for business secrets or whatever else: the best thing to do is to just not have it on you, have no ability to get it either, have other humans who know your travel plans and can check on you, know what rights you do have, where to make complaints, and most of all have fallbacks if things don't work out. That alone is very empowering. If some data is vitally important and private to the level you describe, perhaps stick it onto an encrypted image on a USB stick and mail it separately or something along those lines. Or via private online transfer of which there are many, but something completely out of band from your own physical person.
What do you mean by "framed" them?
That’s a reasonable point, but I think it’s still overestimating the value of adding new nuclear power plants when you already have significant nuclear capacity.

It’s clear the average capacity factor falls when you add more nuclear power. In other words rather than looking at the average capacity factor as being X%, you need to consider how much the average capacity factor falls with each additional reactor and then calculate what the effective capacity factor of that reactor must have been to hit the new average.

To illiterate if 10GW averages to 80% and 11GW averages to 79% then the 11th GW must have effectively been 69%, because (80 * 10 + 69) / 11 = 79.
It was, but if you could start building a collection, it didn't take that much to basically have documentation for Everything. All the ROM routines, timings, pin diagrams, BASIC features, etc, etc. Maybe a dozen books, maybe even half that? I don't remember. But at some point you pretty much had everything you'd ever possibly want to know. That was really the last computer I ever had that feeling with. Everything since is just layers and layers of complexity that changes faster than you'll ever get a handle on it and truly understand the whole machine inside out.

Self check-out is an age test. If you have it and constantly whine about it, you're probably over at least 50. Most younger folks don't mind.

> this perspective comes with age

Absolutely. I regret how much of my teens and early 20s I missed out on because of caring what other people think. But I guess it's rather normal. I guess that also explains the whole 'old naked guy in the shower room' trope...the older you get, the less you care.

Regardless, I'm trying to instill this in my 10 year old's head, but it's probably fruitless. She asks 'dont you feel embarrassed' when I go out in public with a grease stain, or messed up hair, or my trusty crocs.

I love eating alone - it's a rare treat for me. My suggestion is to always sit at the bar if you can. I feel like many of the social norms at a table don't apply at the bar - I don't feel bad reading my kindle, drinking a glass of wine and enjoying my meal in solitude.

The bartenders don't care at all, and will happily leave you alone - and I don't feel guilty about occupying a table.

Are you considering using the esp-idf?
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf

I'm developing a product based on the esp32. Once I got my mind around the IDF, it handles a lot of the productization element.

Specifically it has a means for handling config at compile time, allowing for more flexibility without the need for a new version of the code per update.
Jensen Huang stated that Nvidia was going to make moves to move cards before the upcoming launch of the 40 series in August's earning call: " We implemented programs with our Gaming channel partners to adjust pricing in the channel and to price-position current high-end desktop GPUs as we prepare for a new architecture launch." <- https://www.yahoo.com/video/edited-transcript-nvda-oq-earnin...

Could this be a move in that direction? Will EVGA suddenly come back once they sell out? Is this planned? Consipiracy?
Name suggestions welcome!

I suck at naming - Peer Review was a working title intended to be somewhat tongue in cheek (similar to StackOverflow). But... because I suck at naming, it is, of course, a little on the nose. So far I haven't come up with anything better.
It may feel a bit weird the first few times, but eventually it feels very natural. Nobody cares. Same thing for traveling.

The only place where I don't like to go alone are bars. It's boring and it feels a bit lonely seeing people partying where you're on your own.
Perhaps you are right about power companies wanting to sell more power (although it seems like that is not the case for the marginal kWh given all that power companies do to incentive energy efficiency for their customers).

But even so, at least that power would go to something useful (keeping buildings comfortable, purifying water, who knows what) rather than being burned in the crypto-pit.
But this isn't true. Social media was pretty much a free for all (except for porn) until 2015ish and it was growing rapidly the whole time. The whole argument that this type of content will drive away users is completely contradicted by history.

The HFT systems I know about in Java are mostly not recognizable as Java to most Java programmers. They use static allocation of all data making sure that there is no risk of a GC interrupt and have a fixed set of threads that have assigned cores.

It is sometimes a reasonable way to build a system, but very seldom.

I have a lot of respect to EVGA for honoring GPU waitlists over the last few years.
> Would you prefer them outright telling you the bad news directly with a quick summary, maybe even in public?

The right way, in my opinion, is the same whether the news is good, bad, or neutral: say what the subject to be discussed is. It can and should be very brief and broad ("Re: X project progress" or "Re: your birthday" or whatever).

Certainly it shouldn't be in public. But the meeting request itself shouldn't be done publicly anyway, in my opinion, whether the meeting is good, bad, or indifferent. It should be in email, chat, or a meeting request in Outlook or similar.
Interesting. My impression has always been Facebook is somehow more riddled with scammers than CL despite the associated accounts. It seems like it has more to do with the transaction.

It is hard to scam someone with an in person exchange of cash for goods.

Annecdotally, many CL sellers have told me to just get the item from their yard and put the cash under their doormat

> Banks can substantiate, with voluminous data, that banking relationships are very sticky.

Indeed. I'd have changed my main bank years ago if not for the pain of changing over all my automated payments. I don't like them at all but they've not done anything bad enough to make it worth several hours of irritation, probably spread over multiple months, moving everything.
Maybe so, but I wonder how much of their PSU sales come from the excellent reputation of their GPUs.
They are distinct in Go. The standard library uses "HTTP keep-alive" to mark connections as idle based on most recent HTTP request, whereas TCP keep-alive checks only ACKs.
Of course. I grew up the son of two professional artists. While they are beautiful people, they are not particularly career minded/knowledgeable - so my direction in life has been dependent on my own designs and devotions.

I spent about five years working on feature films, commercials, music videos, etc. as a Local 600 Loader and Second Assistant Cameraman. I loved the work, but the travel and lifestyle wasn't a sustainable fit for a healthy life (for me).

Before film work, I studied comparative literature in a strong undergraduate program and made a shift into teaching high school English. I taught in rural, urban, and suburban school districts in the upper midwest until June of this year. The work was Good, and I was good at it. I didn't burn bridges or burn out; I just had a belly full and want to open a new door.

I know a handful of people that work in tech sales, PM, infrastructure that have been willing to talk about their work and employers (for which I am very grateful). An important part of these conversations has been noting which paths are inaccessible/poor fit/rough culture.

I'm in talks to accept a position at a small local tech consultancy in a role that is a mix between Customer Success/Training/Project Management - but it's more of an entry point and stepping stone than final target.

All that said - if anyone works in product management, experience strategy, or simply would be open for a chat, please send me an email. I would love to schedule a short phone call.
I never really thought about it much but I tend to only get counter service if I eat alone out of habit. Since I’m typically by myself for lunch when I’m working, I’m admittedly missing out on some good dining options.

Feels very much like one of those "how do you reason a person out of a belief that they hold without reason?" type things.

There's generally no objective reason for someone to have the aversion besides their own self-created mental barriers. In which case the solution quite practically is "get over yourself and try it". If the person's social anxiety is high enough that such advise is poor and inactionable they probably should be working with therapy and not writing general advise blogs.

Back to the primary subject though, it seems our author even recognizes this:

>But with practice, I’m starting to become more comfortable with dining alone and even enjoy it. It has its own charms, and I think everyone should do it once in a while.

So it does seem quite literally that simple. Even to our author.
> There seems to be not too much interest in or hype about WebTransport. FF and Safari don't support it yet. MDN does not contain a single mention of WebTransport.

Because it's not a standard. The status is "Editor's draft" which is barely above "A draft on a coffee-stained napkin"
> A habit of lying, for example, can contribute to depression and anxiety. Denial of truths that we'd rather not face can become expressed as obsessive-compulsive disorders. A hedonistic lifestyle can negatively impact cognition and lead to monomania.

I don't really know if any of these are true and I don't understand the correlation of these things. I don't know what correlates lying with depression and anxiety, partially because I know liars who aren't depressed or anxious, liars who are depressed or anxious, and don't know how their lying has a causal factor to anything. This also goes on for hedonistic lifestyles- I've seen depressed dropouts drowning in hedonism and I've seen ultra-wealthy hedonistic celebrities and I don't understand the correlation or causation you're trying to make.

Can you please clarify this point? I genuinely don't understand this because it doesn't match my model of reality, which doesn't show any apparent correlations of generic character flaws (such as lying a lot) with specific mood disorders (like generalized anxiety).
The reason for hype is attention economy and aggressive marketing.

Not always, until the quietness and boredom sets in. You can only play games/watch YT/reddit/HN for so long.

I love being alone in the forest, though. I seek solitude on back logging roads -- places where people don't normally hike because it isn't 'pretty'.

Being alone in that context is freeing.
The nVidia/Board-partners relationship seemed to go completely sideways around the launch of the 3xxx series. If you remember back to the launch, they just hurled chips at them with late notice (so some glitchy 3rd party boards shipped) and pricing they couldn't compete with nVidia's own boards on.

No idea when crypto took off and supply was constrained, who was taking the profits - but I'd guess nVidia. Now the partners are left holding huge numbers of boards as the prices crash.
My guess is to get allocation from nVidia they had to commit to volume and price, but retailers can just return un-sold stock as sale or return (or just demand to pay less, as they drop prices)

I can see why if you survived that, you might just want to step aside from the market - as next time it might take you down.
Especially if you're EVGA and prided yourself on premium products/support - and smell a race-to-the-bottom coming.

As majority of what you pay goes on the GPU itself (memory is at least a commodity) - there's probably not a lot of meat left for the partner that's taking the risks.

Does make you wonder what quality's going to be like on 4xxx.
Rules for thee but not for me
Cool, thanks for the info. It is very intriguing, and I admit that until this HN thread I didn't know about powershell, or appreciate this totally different model for how to connect programs together.

This is probably way off-topic now, and my question surely shows my ignorance, but do you know if there precedent for a program, once packaged to work within powershell (or maybe nushell), to use the associated input and output specification as the starting point for making a web interface to the same code (as bridged by a webserver)? Or have I just described .net ?
This is on the roadmap. The plan is to create a "Journal" entity on the site. Editors can create a Journal on the site and then create teams of reviewers which they tag with fields. Authors submitting papers can then submit those papers to community review, or one or more journals, or both. Reviews coming from journal's teams will be highlighted. At any point during the review process, once the journal's team is satisfied, they can mark the paper with their badge of approval. Papers can collect badges from multiple journals.

If the authors disagree with the journals team, or just get tired of waiting, they can still publish at any time just like with community review. For authors who choose both, the journal's team and community reviewers can interact with each other just as in normal community review.

I think it's a way to provide a stepping stone for people from the existing system towards full community review and would provide logistics to those organizing open journals with teams of high quality reviewers.

The plan is to implement it during the closed beta period. I would welcome feedback on this concept as well :)
