So that is maybe different. I think the "60%" we're talking about above, to me, is people doing useless work, or work whose only use is internal "political".
It was first 50% of the 7500 initial and then another 50% of the remaining. Then add all this Code Review nonsense and you can make the argument that at least 80% of the original are gone. I wonder how many he has brought in though. There is too much muddying of the waters to get a realistic estimate of people joining Twitter because they want to be part of Musk's "vision". It could be anything from hundreds of people joining to just 1 (George Hotz lol).

A very important nuance for everyone following this.

SBF keeps saying there was a liquidity crisis at FTX, which is 100% not true. A liquidity crisis implies that he took deposits, flipped them into good, but illiquid investments, and ran into trouble because people asked for more cash than FTX had on hand.

FTX actually had a solvency crisis, where he took deposits, put them in completely inappropriate investments (many of which are now worthless, all of which were speculative nonsense) and is now revealed to have done that.

He's using the concepts of "bank runs" and "liquidity crises" because that's sort of an "aww shucks, got caught in an unfortunate circumstance" situation when what he actually did was one of the stupidest and most malicious things anyone in "finance" has ever done.
Thank you so much PaulBGD! It means a lot that you have been consistently happy with Pion.

We got super lucky that a company heavily depended on SCTP in the early days. One of their devs (enobufs) did an amazing job with it.
Incompetence is a defense against fraud, so if you reconsider his actions through the lens of an attempt to bolster an incompetence-based defense, would it look any different to what he's done?

I'm not sure many languages support the introduction of types such as:

* An integer that is sum of two primes.

* A string that is created between the hours of 2 pm - 4 pm on a Tuesday.

* A dictionary who's fields comprise a valid tax return.

What do you mean by future proving? If the new version of the code doesn't ship by 2 pm today, the company goes bankrupt and there is no future for the code.

> The idea that a "bank run" caused this is just silly. FTX is not a bank.

Are you familiar with the adage: The easiest way to rob a bank is to own one?

Here is the thing, FTX may not ave been a registered bank, but it definitely functioned as a fractional reserve bank: and in the end that is what matters most! SBF is so screwed, and a part of me makes me think he wanted to implode all along: despite being born on 3rd base he is still an immense failure, furthermore his perverted notions of effective altruism were revealed to be just another misguided cult like any other used by your run of the mill conman to maximize is ROI from the woke-mob gatekeepers in SV.

SBF is bankrupt in every sense of te word, financially as well as morally. What I can’t tell if it's affluenza or suicidal ideation/depression making him do these interviews.

That's getting harder as software continues to get better at bypassing network-level snooping or content blocks (which are often done by entities like malicious Wi-Fi operators or the user's ISP, neither of which have any business deciding what content the user is allowed to see).
Is it at all possible that SBF is "merely" inept (yet still culpable)? Or is there any way to know whether SBF knew what he was doing was making FTX insolvent?
I think the crux there is that there isn't the potential mutual attraction.

For me, it would be much harder to develop feelings if I knew that there couldn't be attraction.

For a straight man it is probably just as easy being friends with a gay woman as it is a straight man, because in both cases there won't be mutual attraction. Conversely as a gay male it would be easy being friends with straight women or straight men -- I think that's where you see the stereotype of gay men with many friends who are straight women.
Even with a pure coal fired grid, an EV only produces as much carbon as an ICEV getting 40mpg. Most grids are much cleaner and there are only a couple of such fully coal powered grids in the US. In the last few years, the percent of coal use in the US electric grid has fallen from about 40% to 18% and it is predicted to continue falling.

Take a look at this map showing the carbon output of an EV in various districts measured in equivalent MPG.

Ask HN: When do you think we will be able to hand pick produce online?
If you've bought produce through Instacart, Uber Eats, etc you've probably experienced getting a vegetable that was far from what you wanted. An onion that wasn't the right size, romaine that was already chopped, or worst case something very close to expiration.

Do you think we'll reach a point where EVERY tomato has a panoramic photo? You can order that one specifically.

If we do, it will be long after regular supermarkets, Amazon like distribution centers.

The thing is, it's such a small trivial problem, we won't see it for a long time.
Oh, sweet summer child. If only those ‘shoulds’ would reliably be ‘will’s, the world would be a much better place.
Your post mentions how you are surprised you can skate by at work without facing huge consequences for your actions. Most everyone is like you. We are self-centered and worried about our own security, over-analyzing our own problems and barely being aware of others. I don't know if this is a new problem or one as old as humanity.

The Jan 6 riots are possible because again, the Capitol Police weren't ready to lay their careers and lives on the line "cracking skulls" to defend an old building.

"Best Viewed with a Budgie" ???
I think quite the opposite.

Over time the companies that force in-person work will find it much more difficult to hire and retain talent vs those that optimize for a remote first workforce.

I mean the efficiency gain in broadening hiring pool, not having to do relo packages, smaller office footprint, cost of commuting, lower comp/higher QoL are just far too great.

Nobody wants to be trapped in the bay area and forced to pay $2m for a house an hour away from their office. They largely did it begrudgingly (myself included)
This is extremely misleading. In the US, the ATF has stated in past rulings that electronically-fired semi-auto weapons are functionally equivalent to full auto weapons in the case where there is not manual user input per shot. (If there is manual user input per shot, it's not clear from any existing rulings and should be treated as an open question that may get you sent to prison).

Now, the ATF just makes up new rulings all the time and they aren't laws, so "legal" is always a touch fuzzy where the ATF is concerned, but you're probably going to prison for a very, very long time on a weapons charge if you make a remote-activated, electronically-fired semi auto like we're talking about here - the same way you would be if you try to make your own full auto. The exception would be the case where you are legally allowed to manufacture fully automatic weapons because you have an SOT license from the ATF. In the case of the video made in the past few months where some YouTubers mounted a rifle on a Boston Dynamics Spot, one of the YouTubers in question specifically does have an SOT, meaning they can do things that would get normal people sent to prison over an NFA violation.

At the very least, before you do something that destroys your life, call up the ATF and ask them whether what you are about to do is a dangerously bad idea legally.
>The easier and safer we make it for law enforcement to use lethal force, the more lethal force they will use.

I think the parent post made a compelling counterclaim. The biggest driver of lethal force is to increase office safety.

If someone pulls a gun or looks like they are, the safest solution for the officer is to shoot. Remove the officer risk and there is no reason to use lethal force.

The more officers are at risk, the more they will use lethal force.

I am a maintainer at WasmEdge. :) The name “edge” signifies that it is lightweight. We think it is a lightweight and secure alternative to Linux containers.

The application use cases include containerization on edge devices, serverless functions on edge cloud, embedded functions for databases or SaaS, stream functions for data pipelines, or even smart contracts for blockchains.

All of the above are “edge” use cases in the sense that they are typically outside of mega data centers. :)
Tell HN: I just reached 10 paying customers after 2 weeks of the public launch
I am Koushik, founder of Supademo, and this is the story of how I got my first 10 paid customers.

Firstly, Wow, the feeling is memorable. I know it's a small win, but it feels like a big one in my heart

A little backstory.

I launched the beta version of Supademo(a tool to create interactive product demos in minutes) on Oct 8th.

Link to the product: https://supademo.com

After running the beta for 5 Weeks+, I officially made the public launch 2 weeks back.

Some stats so far:
•340 signups
•250+ user demos
•10 Paid customers

So how did I get here?

I tried different strategies to get the initial word out and find the beta users. (mainly in the first 2 weeks)

These worked great for me:
•Hackernews(70 upvotes)
•Reddit: r/SideProject (70 upvotes)
•Word of mouth
•Cold DMs and emails to experienced Indiehackers for feedback. (%15 effect )

Fortunately, so many users found the product helpful. So, I started getting tons of feedback. I took calls with some of them, and some sent me feedback through emails and DMs.

I am so grateful to everyone who took the time to try the product and give feedback and suggestions.

So I quickly aggregated the feedback in one place and rolled out the most requested features one by one. I shared product updates through email every week with the users.

The users who saw me implementing their feedback trusted me and became my first paid customers.

Lesson learned:
As Indiehackers, we know how precious is our time and resources. So when you are starting, instead of finding ways to get more users, find the right ones, listen to them, and optimize the product accordingly.

I know this is just the start, but I am excited about the upcoming journey. Much more things to learn!

If you want to connect and chat more, ping me on Twitter(@koushikmarka). My DMs are always open.

A classic book about how to design a microprogrammed CPU was "Mick & Brick", which was published by AMD in 1980 and now it is freely available at bitsavers:

http://www.bitsavers.org/components/amd/bitslice/Mick_Bit-Sl...

This book explains how to design miroprogrammed CPUs with the AMD 2900 series integrated circuits, which was the most popular method for designing PDP-11 clones around 1980, before the monolithic microprocessors from Intel and Motorola became powerful enough to replace the minicomputers.

Even if the bit-slice circuits like the AMD 2900 series have been obsolete for many decades, understanding how a CPU could be designed with them can enable anyone to make now a similar CPU design, but implemented in an FPGA.

The datasheets of the 2900 series, which can be useful for extra details, can be found in the same AMD directory at bitsavers.org.

However, "Mick & Brick" is not for complete beginners. It presupposes familiarity with logical circuit design at the gate level.

I imagine a death march to be something worse than that. In this case everyone shared the goal, it wasn't a made-up deadline forced on underlings by a clueless management. This management knew they could do it, and the team knew they could do it and had done it before. That's what they were there for; the thing they hoped to be able to do.

When I think of a death march, I think of an engineering task (usually a software program) with a known-impossible deadline, where the team pushes back on the deadline and is ignored. Necessary tools not provided, work hours monitored, rather than progress, etc.

I see it a bit as a REST thing: /v2/some/endpoint implies that v2 "owns" "some/endpoint". What state does "v2" represent? Does it own every "some", just "some/endpoint"? What is that hierarchical relationship really?

It's a general problem I see with any REST API that tries to version that way. Version isn't a strict hierarchical "owns" relationship and embedding it early in the URL sort of violates REST principles in what the folder path of a URL is meant to imply. (Admittedly, that's a bit of a more strict interpretation than most people pragmatically follow when building REST APIs, but it is an interesting and useful strict interpretation so worth bringing up and examining.)

If you are versioning individual endpoints it might make sense to use URLs like: some/endpoint/v1 and some/endpoint/v2

That makes it more clear that "some/endpoint" "owns" that relationship and kind of/sort of what "exactly" is being versioned. If you must put a version number in the URL.

That said, REST has always been about content negotiation as a long held tenet, and that has always been about using the right Headers (since the earliest HTTP 1.x apps), and I've always felt like complaints that you can't send the right version Header reflects primarily on bad tools that don't understand HTTP (and REST) as well as they should. Sending Headers is an important part of HTTP. I don't think it should be harder to send the right Headers than to embed things that would be Headers into the URL. Though that's just my somewhat strong opinion on the subject.

I had very few issues with just creating one scss file for every component module, ie ProfileCard.tsx and ProfileCard.scss, with sub components like ProfileCardimage being a nested selector in the scss tile. I don’t think you really need complicated design systems or atomic utilities anymore, just a bunch of variables for spacing, fonts, colors, etc. For any given component I knew exactly where to look for its styles, and it is all there. If the scss files becomes unwieldy as requirements change, it’s easy to just re-write it.

OP is maybe talking about a plastic tote, but what really matters is how many times you can reuse it. I don't know about cardboard, but iirc for the plastic vs. canvas bag comparison I believe the break-even is on the order of 20 uses to 1. i.e. if you can use the canvas bag 20 times more than the plastic bag before discarding it, the canvas bag is less resource intensive.

I miss these earlier days when the internet was just being born. What a mess we have on our hands now.
Thanks. I've commented on this elsewhere, but I think there's probably a mismatch in my thinking on the granularity of naming. I don't literally name every single element I'm styling. I agree that would lead to some very contrived names. I've understood semantic naming to apply to what, for lack of a better term, I'd call a component and then use ancestry rules to style within that "component". If you need to customize it, you can use the cascading part of CSS or use a pre-processor like SCSS to mix in and override things. I've found that leads to easily identifiable rules.

Of course, the trade-off is if you completely change the structure of that "component" you'll need to update any ancestry rules. But on the naming front, I'd need to come up with an identifier or logical class name to find the element in JS anyway, absent something like React that sort of controls the world.
