> It’s not worth making electronics if your users all have randomly shaped random voltage power sockets installed by whoever built their house,

And yet nearly all electronics standards arose through voluntary cooperation. Ever notice the USB socket on your computer? The audio jack? The HDMI port? etc. Did you know that Edison standardized the Edison lightbulb socket, not the government?

> uncontrolled RF emissions,

Again, the free market does not allow one to interfere with other peoples' property.

> and want to pay you in private bank currencies you can’t spend.

Banks solved that problem long ago. The free banking system worked. BTW, we still mostly use PRIVATE BANK CURRENCIES all the time! Amazing, but true. They're called credit cards, bank checks, paypal, venmo, wire transfers, money orders, cashier's checks, etc. Even store coupons are private currency.

Have fun debating with me. Good luck!
The price is absurdly high.
You're shifting goalposts. You were arguing for the same level of code execution after sale of the device, not at point of compilation. By the time every iPhone leaves the factories in China and India, they're already locked down. The consumer only has as much ability to execute code as any bugs allow in the initial OS release.

Also, Apple doesn't have the ability to install any OS/bootloader as the hardware is specifically tailored to one OS. Even if you had an Apple-sanctioned root mode, it's likely the hardware won't run AOSP images or android compatible bootloader as it's only guaranteed to work with iOS. The same can be said of game consoles.
The project can fail, you are correct, but it does not take anything from any other projects, it is just an other initiative trying to contribute in the space.

Parent commenter own search project Marginalia Search [1] could even benefit from it, or even maybe collaborate with it.

It is not a winner-take-all situation, and we need various open initiative in this space to get out of the current conundrum we are in with Google stronghold on search.

I wonder if this could work for protons - because if we could accelerate protons into Boron-11 we could have aneutronic fusion which would generate unlimited clean energy, even cleaner than the current fusion designs.

I went back to run some more benchmarks and it turns out with DLSS totally disabled, 4K is unplayable (3-6FPS). Didn't realize DLSS was contributing so much. Simply disabling raytracing at that point (so, DLSS disabled, 4K, everything else set to max but RT disabled) gets me back to 50-60FPS. So basically DLSS is compensating for RT. But disabling RT doesn't really seem to make a big difference- it still looks pretty damn nice. hard to tell.
Has anyone else noticed the number of comments (and upvotes) that are very likely fake/misleading? Many 1-karma accounts that I doubt made their first comment only because they love this product so much, and other founders/colleagues/cohort that are probably just friends.

I get this is the "growth hacking" mindset, but it really sucks. I wish this wasn't allowed on HN. This product clearly wouldn't be anywhere near the front page without this fake engagement.
Some interesting entries I know about:

* Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics Into Being by George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez

* The Mathematician's Mind by Jacques Hadamard

* Mathematics Form and Function by Saunders MacLane

* On the Brink of Paradox: Highlights from the Intersection of Philosophy and Mathematics by Agustin Rayo

The preface and chapter 1 of A Book of Abstract Algebra by Charles C. Pinter has an excellent discussion of a certain perspective of mathematics. Hermann Weyl wrote a lot about this stuff too.
That’s a tough decision. Going straight to the 2fa page immediately tells the attacker the account exists and does or does not have 2fa enabled… assisting them in narrowing down their efforts to less secure accounts and/or telling them which accounts they need to start phishing/etc for the 2fa code.

So you’re asking for the business to implement something that makes their own users less secure so that sites that don’t provide 2fa can be more secure. Maybe it would be better for those sites to improve their own security instead of asking others to compromise theirs to help cover for someone else’s lack of effort.

Sorry just seeing this now. By indirection I just meant taking a longer path than the direct shortest path. This could be seen as being in a local minima and by climbing that hill so arrive at a lower more stable even lower minima.

The monomyth isn't best concetualized as a perfect circular cycle but as a 3D upward spiral. That is because it is considered to be progressive. As the T S Eliott quote goes "...Will be to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time."

My point is that this spiral isnt always upward as it cycles. It also has to go downward (degeneration) in order to go upward. Mythologically speaking this is the descent into hell or facing your fears.

We understand this in our everyday life in that we hardly ever approach goals directly. Think of how people endure the suffering of exercise so they can minimize suffering/death later in life (well there is more than one reason for exercise).

In fact another way of seeing it is through finance. We save and invest rather than spend because of the present/future value trade-offs.

Think of a maze for an AI, where you know the coordinates of the goal ahead of time. Do you assume that the navigation will be the shortest path and never move in a way that increases your distance from the goal? There will likely be instances like this.

The annealing examples if I remeber correctly have to do with the notion of getting to a lower more stable energy state by going up first (climbing a hill).
According to Hipp, the rule does no such thing.

Ask HN: Have you used GPT-3/similar systems for busy work yet?
I'm a college student, so I've got a lot of work that feels pointless - section responses, discussion board posts, essays, reflections, etc.

A huge life optimization for me right now would be a cheap, efficient way of generating writing good enough to pass.

Have you used any of the new online AI systems to do busy work yet, and how efficient have they been?
Can I ask a question as a non-tech person - What is the disadvantage of empowering Chrome? Wouldn't having a dominant browser be a boon for developers in creating a more consistent and standardised UX experience?

I recall multiple-browser compatibility support was a challenge quite a few years ago when I worked as a manager for a smallish dev-shop, the problem stopped when IE moved their code to Chromium.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Same!

> Not enough of them to put off many employers from doing the things that they could be sued for, it would seem given how many companies behave.

I've talked to corporate lawyers about this. Larger companies have teams of lawyers dealing with an incessant stream of lawsuits by employees. A large percentage of them are completely without merit, and both parties know this. But it's cheaper to settle than go to court, which is why employees sue for the cash grab. It really doesn't matter how well a larger corp treats its employees, they'll get sued again and again anyway.

A larger corp is just a bigger, fatter, juicier target for lawsuits.
> I'm curious, what is it that drives every tech company to eventually publish a UI framework?

1. Low risk. Not likely to create competitors or give away the secret sauce.

2. Allows partners to build lookalikes/similar look and feel apps.

3. Enables vendors/partners to contribute in a meaningful way that helps both parties.
The documentation you linked itself says to structure your code such that you are not taking dependencies inappropriately, not to omit bona fide dependencies from the dependencies array:

Specifying [count] as a list of dependencies would fix the bug, but would cause the interval to be reset on every change. Effectively, each setInterval would get one chance to execute before being cleared (similar to a setTimeout.) That may not be desirable. To fix this, we can use the functional update form of setState. It lets us specify how the state needs to change without referencing the current state:
This github page seems a bit casual/flippant, there's no explanation of what the extension does or anything to build trust/confidence in the author. Hopefully it gets more developed as it sounds like a good idea.
Class components were/are fantastic for training new devs because of how easily abstracted the mental model is compared to memorizing all the hooks and their use cases. Obviously, the syntax tends to be a bit more verbose in general, and I won't deny that hooks making improving performance easier, but at the end of the day I prefer code that's readable whether it was written yesterday or 5 years ago - even if it costs like 20 more lines of boilerplate.

I also think the fear of verbosity in this post is why I can't take it too seriously. Solo maintaining a not-so-old Expo application which uses React Navigation, I constantly have to rewrite large sections of code due to constant refactorings to match whatever coding style is hot at the moment, as the 6 month deprecation deadline is constantly at my doorstep because I have bigger fish on my plate. SO answers being out of date isn't a problem because React is too old, it's a problem because of everyone wanting it to be shiny and new again, and React acquiescing to those demands.

The author does have a bit of a point with libraries, but I counter with Nessim Btesh's fantastic article regarding proper React style[^1]. In short, you shouldn't really be depending on libraries for production needs, just for prototyping.

Great job shipping!

When it comes to open-source infrastructure projects like this, the first thing I generally look for is an architecture diagram on how to operate something like this.

Having a great developer-friendly API is important, but operating the system(s) is just as important and often a differentiation point of using the system (e.g. scale up some nodes, and you're good vs a mish-mash of an OLTP database, distributed WAL, a denormalized search cluster, etc).

I don't get a good sense of how this works right now with the docs.
In the US, if you donate over $200 the donation is public record. That record can be associated with any number of marketing databases to figure out how to get in contact with you. Also, politicians trade lists sometimes - that's a thing too.
It's the same architecture as the i8008, so almost certainly.
I think I have followed a similar trajectory.

I had an engineer-employee-type response to some of Paul’s hackers-and-painters essays (2004), and I still think there is a lot of wrong in some of his cherished opinions[1].

However my colleagues and I founded a company about the same time as ycombinator was founded (2005). I have a lot more respect for his opinions after watching the wild success of YC over the years: he has proven again and again that his opinions are valuable.

That said, I want to quote from the link in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32917643 : “I never hear pg talk about really any of the downsides or regrets about the startup ecosystem that he helped unleash.” . Paul’s article is a bit rah-rah (making the world better by helping found startups), and it is definitely one-eyed without the balance of what the costs are. I am definitely not arguing against progress, but I would appreciate some humble reflection on the costs to others of that progress.

I admit it is very hard for me to have the self-awareness to know if I am just trying to cut down a tall poppy, or whether I am just knocking down a success, or am I subconsciously railing against somebody due to their well endowed ego.

Regardless, there is a lot to learn from the essay, and I rate the knowledge he has shared as highly valuable (even if the knowledge shared is difficult for me to apply, given that I don’t run an incubator!)

The most unfortunate part is that I think that the quality of comments on HN about this particular essay have been low. I suspect I am adding more low quality comments myself.

[1] Example I disagree with “Intelligence wins in conversation, and thus becomes the basis of the dominance hierarchy” from http://paulgraham.com/smart.html — a couple of jems but mostly hard disagree with his points in that essay. Perhaps he has a different definition of intelligence, but dominance and intelligence are distinct variables (even if correlated). Maybe related to a generic comment about other programmer essay writers “you begin to notice that all the essays are an elaborate set of mirrors set up to reflect different facets of the author, in a big distributed act of participatory narcissism.” — https://idlewords.com/2005/04/dabblers_and_blowhards.htm — although that trends too far towards psychological diagnosis by comments which is really not productive (and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end!).

They essentially created a unique type for every. single. variable. I'm talking like, if you needed string constant for an error message on Input 1 on Form 3, there was an ErrorLoadingMessageForInput1OnForm3 type declared for that instead of defining it as a string. The types were never reused - like if you had the same error message on Form 2, there'd be a separate ErrorLoadingMessageForInput1OnForm2 type for the same string. And then every interaction between any 2 variables had its own type of types. Like if Form 3 was displaying the error message, there'd be a type for Form3DisplayingErrorLoadingMessageForInput1OnForm3. Which of course, is distinct from Form3DisplayingErrorLoadingMessageForInput1OnForm3AndErrorLoadingMessageForInput2OnForm3. And then those types were combined to create even more types, and so on until you had literally tens of thousands of lines of _just_ type declarations for variables and every possible permutation of UI state sitting atop a recursive pyramid of smaller subsets of the permutations (and so on until it eventually got to actual variable declarations). An then all that was piped through the craziest clusterfuck of redux butchery imaginable with a similar dynamic of explosively exponential growth of references and types and states and properties and so on. Like I said, it still hurts my brain thinking about it.
Can I use a system call?
It'd be pretty risky to rely on GPT-3, I expect it would be easier and higher quality to subcontract out the work for a low or modest fee. Or just do the actual work and push through it. This is actually a skill and has value, once you graduate and get a job you'll still need to do things you really would rather not. Learning to whip up some writing is actually an extremely valuable and useful skill! Lots of people are bad at writing and communications, and it becomes career limiting. If you're good at it, it opens doors!

Best wishes.
I hope we will get a good alternative to YouTube. The amount of negative feedback from its audience has been increasing at a very fast pace, and Google doesn't seem to care at all.
At this point, I'm thinking they are very deliberately choosing to take this path. For what reason? I don't know. But it seems like Google really don't want people to discover any good content and force users to watch a very select collection of videos.
My circle and friends are basically all watching similar content to what I'm watching, and I have almost no common interests with some of them..
I get what you’re saying.

From what I have seen (obviously laws vary by location) it’s jail time (typically 365 days suspended) AND interlock. Not a choice between the two.
I model it like this;

"Nihilism" is a blank canvas (i.e. the substrate/backdrop/support underlying everything). Every other school of Philosophy/Religion is merely a "man-made painting" on that canvas. We cannot look at/enjoy a blank canvas; there is "no support to grasp" for our consciousness when it looks at it. But the moment we paint our chosen Philosophy/Religion over that canvas there is something concrete for our consciousness to "grasp and get itself lost in". Consciousness (and therefore life) now gets a "meaning" even though the painting is but just a veneer which can be changed as and when needed (hence the proliferation of various philosophies/religions).

PS: The above model arises from The Samkhya School of Philosophy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samkhya) which is an ancient system within Hinduism.

1. Editor

- VS code (working mostly on Typescript projects these days)
- Emacs for org mode / note taking
- Jetbrains Rider for Game dev
- nvim for, well, vi.

2. Build / Test / Deploy

- My mac is completely managed by a Nix / home-manager[1] setup that delegates to homebrew for some apps.
- I add a flake.nix to all projects and use the nix devShell[2] with direnv extension to create development environments with custom commands. I played with the flix language[3] (on JVM) briefly and my nix based workflow worked quite well.
- I use lima with nerdctl[4] for containerization when required. I have a stalled experiment to use VSCode devcontainers[5]. I unfortunately didn't take notes on that experiment so I don't have a lot to share. All I can remember is that the integration to VSCode was quite impressive but trying to get the ergonomics of my local environment replicated required significant effort.

I liked classes to-- their lifecycle methods were so clear to work with.

That said, learning how useEffect replaces lifecycle methods is pretty quick to pickup. As is useState.

The lesser known hooks are what are difficult for me to understand. useRef is pretty clear. useMemo? I'm not quite sure what it's for, but I imagine it's not too tough to figure out if I spend a bit of time learning & experimenting with it.

So, although I liked the simplicity of class components, functional ones aren't too bad. They bring in some additional complications, but with a bit of effort it seems to all be learnable to me.
An unfortunate reality is that wayfinding is usually a late stage item of scope. The norm is that budget attributed to those types of items has been progressively raided over the course of the project to cover for deficiencies and lack of allowances in others - certainly not good practice, but extremely common.

The flawed negotiation is that you "push it to opex", which, as we know, especially in the US, means it is unlikely to happen. So what originally might have been designed is scaled back. But yes, as with this example, there are cases where only minor tuning is needed once something is in place that is hard to simulate before hand (e.g. the audibility of PA announcements).
Ask HN: Areas for which Wikipedia is NOT the most comprehensive online resource?
It certainly is for mathematics and computer science (apart from some specialized areas like HoTT and complexity theory), and I've been told the same is true for physics, chemistry, and astronomy, though I'm not an expert in those fields so I have to take their word for it. It also appears to be true for biographies, conflicts, cities, and many, many other topics.

So for which areas of knowledge is Wikipedia NOT the most comprehensive resource available online?
