I just discovered this post, and I'm really happy to see a lot of satisfied long time users as well as excited new users who recently discovered this.

I think the most common criticism is that the app is large and uses a lot of memory (compared to Notepad?:P) due to it being Electron based. Somewhat unpopular opinion, but here goes: Developing an app using Electron gives such tremendous benefits that it far outweighs any downsides. It lets you easily build a cross-OS app on a super optimised, stable and secure platform that's being battle tested by billions of people around the world every day (Chromium). It gives you all the features of the web, and it "just works" on almost any popular OS. The web has all the big tech pushing new features and improvements all the time and it maintains really good backwards compatibility. I don't think I ever had the LosslessCut app actually crash on me. CI, automatic building and releasing to all different kinds of channels is a breeze due to tools like `electron-builder`.

I think if you compare it to most other lossy video editors, you'll find that the CPU usage is much lower (especially per minute of produced video!), and the memory footprint is probably lower than many other popular video editors. Storage is cheap, and what is 500mb when working with 4K video anyways, so optimising for size is mostly a waste of time and doesn't really benefit 99% of users. Counter arguments are welcome :)

I see they've recently removed the dismiss button on homepage recommendations.
So I've turned off the recommendations. On the plus side, as I started closing tabs with determination, I counted over 9000 across two windows. Not bad, firefox.
Apparently no, because it can be made by the fusion process itself, via contact with lithium, and there's enough proven reserves of the latter to supply us for 100s of years.
My wild ass guesstimate before learning about the mobilecoin (the signal integrated crypto) apparent fraud would have been 1-2 billion lost, so I guess I should update that to 3 billion lost-- though there is probably reasonable odds on recovering the mobilecoin funds since there were probably only a few people who could have had access to enough mobilecoin to hit a billion worth even at $67/coin.

It's quite possible that I'm just being bubbled/hopeful. I don't personally know anyone who lost money in FTX even though I know a lot of cryptocurrency people and I thought it was obviously sketchy from when I first heard of it, so these are probably influencing my perspective on how big it actually was.

> If FTX was 10% of the market

I'm dubious about 10%. We know in hindsight that FTX was faking their size in multiple respects (including e.g. faking their valuation by MTMing illiquid coins that they created and never circulated) -- probably every claim we've seen about their size based on their own figures was just lies.
Neutrons aren't that hard to capture. They are certainly harder to capture than charged particles but there are plenty of materials that are dense enough to reliably capture neutrons. This is how heat is extracted from the reaction to use in a generator. The activation of the containment material is a problem but it's not even close to the level it is for fission reactors where you're forced to deal with spent fuel rods.

At the moment fusion is obviously not cheap but no one is planning on using the technology in its current form for actual power generation. The processes involved will all get more efficient and given the astronomical upper limits of energy output from fusion it doesn't take a big stretch of the imagination to think that it will eventually be preferable to solar and wind power. There's no guarantee that will happen but hopefully this breakthrough will trigger more investment and momentum to make it a reality. I also want to add that I'm very pro solar and wind, especially in the short term.
> The argument that engineers are incapable of designing and constructing sound solutions without software is unsound.

Name one modern feat of engineering which could be done without the aid of software.

Commercial airliner? Nope. Modern skyscraper? Nope. Modern CPU? Nope.

Modern bridge? Maybe; but without structural analysis and stress simulations, it's going to use more material and be rated lower.

I'm done arguiung. It's clear that there's always some meritless retort waiting.
I'm a novice when it comes to this, so apologies for the dumb question. Can you explain how you manage the taro plant? Like how can it grow in a pot completely submerged then be brought inside? Can taro be both grown partially submerged and out of water? Thanks for the info.
Come back when people start getting held at knifepoint so someone can get fix of TikTok.
Certainly. Air transportation just holds particular interest for me, given that the codes and abbreviations reflect historical physical constraints: so-and-so many columns, so-and-so many inches of printable space on a ticket, etc.

(This is also why I find US banking standards interesting[1].)

Huh. This is a thing I've seen at a few companies now and never seen reference to them coming out of Google. It makes sense, but it's also completely standalone - "go to the page."
I remember in the cold north east having winter days that would be swimsuit weather when I was a kid. My parents called it Indian summers.

I remember hurricanes, droughts, etc...

From what I've read, our overall incidents of severe weather haven't significantly increased. I've seen some studies that claim a decrease.

Fwiw, the average temperature in France hasn't changed much (if any) since 1959 [1]. The past few years have been a bit warmer, but there were some colder ones before that. Temps are pretty much flat for as long as the four operating weather stations have been measuring.

It's so strange to me the sort of personal attacks I get on HN. Just for offering a counterpoint perspective. Does it make you feel validated or something? I hope it does, and that by being your target I could make you feel better.

To be honest, streaming is fraught with content restrictions and copyrights. If it was similar to the PC gaming case, then we would be able to watch any show on any platform, minus a few exclusives. That would actually lead to innovation and is good for the end consumer. This is decidedly not the case any more after all the major content owners came out with their own streaming service, and locked others out.
Hi! My thoughts about the hobby plan is really just an entry level tier for those who are not ready yet to invest in the unlimited plans. If no one wants the plan, I can adjust or remove it, no harm in testing the waters.

The target audiences of Shipnix are freelancers, startups and agencies who wants to just spin up an IHP project for example and start creating value for their customers.

These audiences are less likely to adopt NixOS by tinkering with images and nixos-infect. The monthly price is less than what a software engineer costs for one hour.
Imagine doing code review for this change. How do you say “I think this is illegal” without getting fired? Not that I would work for FTX.
Rich people in rich countries are going to be fine. It's poor people in poor countries that area going to suffer.
Ask HN: What's the most sophisticated example of AI making and revising code?
I've seen plenty of simple examples of AI making code.

But how far can it really go towards writing sophisticated code?

What's examples/demos are there of people doing really sophisticated coding with AI?

Ask HN: Are you using Chat GPT-3 for work and how?
Dynamically typed and very flexible syntax with a lot of edge cases?

The language doesn't look bad in comparison to a lot of others, but the combination above is a nogo for me when it comes to any kind of production code.
Not everyone is that averse to needles. I am not a drug user but I don't mind needles, so I wouldn't care.
I'm sure some advertisers do that, although it seems unnecessary in this particular case—"my phone let me know my family member crashed" seems like the kind of story people would post about of their own volition. Unfortunately, you won't even have to wait that long, as there are over 17,000 crashes per day in the United States [0].

Woooooooo hoooooooo
Donald Knuth once said (or wrote) that sometimes it's very useful to dig deeply in a very narrow place if a subject is both broad and deep. He wrote a book on bible verses this way: (3:16, Bible texts illuminated). He also said he has a number he picked (I forget it, but somewhere between 50 and 100) and when evaluating a book, goes to that page and reads the whole page carefully. Being adolescent at heart, when I decided to emulate him, I picked 69 as my number of choice. I went and read page 69 of this book (number on the page, not the PDF page number). Section 3.3, making analogies to legislation and cooking. Fluff, not worth reading IMHO. Of course, prefer the opinion of anyone has read the whole thing to the one I'm expressing here.

Why go to Japan (in reality only Tokyo) where median software TC is around $60k [0] when you can go to Canada where median software TC is around $90k [1] and English speaking, let alone other English speaking and relatively easy to immigrate Western countries with large South Asian communities like the UK (95k) [2], Netherlands (87k) [3], Germany (77k) [4], Australia (100k) [5], Norway ($74k) [6], or Singapore (73k) [7].

It’s potentially a defense for the engineer though, if he had nothing to do with the advertising. Of course it’s all just idle speculation; the real interesting stuff will come out in the trial, years upon years from now.
How are you supposed to get enough insight from any working fund manager to determine whether something is a ponzi? It’s not like they give you access to the books.
It doesn't help that "global warming" gets renamed to "climate change". I see that NASA hasn't moved sea-level facilities, and private space companies are actively building at sea level. Then you have eg the BBC trying to make a gigantic fuss about the first hot day of summer - rightly mocked by all. The efforts to emphasise the narrative are blatantly... hot air.
Typically when women have kids they realize that raising their offspring is more important than maximizing their earnings. I’m sure many would prefer to quit altogether, but many still have to work to make ends meet. On the balance, men don’t care as much about raising kids and they also derive more self-worth from work.

We may be certain, anyway, that all the startups will spend all the money they get. There will be no power generated. The investors will not get any of their money back.

That would be fine, except some of the investors are pension funds.
This comment would seem completely absurd if I didn’t work in a massive corporation and see precisely what you mean every day. On the one hand, they’re ultimately just plain old full of shit, but there is definitely a subtle, structural dilution of language that goes on that serves to divorce cause and effect. But it’s not an Apple thing—most large corporations are like this, just not quite as zealous as Apple employees tend to be.
Wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected. If you think of the codes as meaningless IDs, there are no problems. The system is unambiguous which is the most important thing. MEL refers to one specific airport and you can know that for sure.

All the problems in the video come from trying to use the letters to guess the areas they refer to. They might be related but they might also not. And that’s fine. Your booking site will let you type the full area name anyway.
Honestly I think the best negative signal of a tech ceo/vc is the amount they post on Twitter.
This should apply to anyone. IMO engineers aren't special. As a human you should try not to fuck over other people.

OKRs should be used to craft major projects and initiatives. They shouldn’t be used for direct performance evaluation.

They are helpful because they align effort and energy, top to bottom, in the direction most relevant for the business.

It goes without saying that if the organizational OKRs are messed up, then it’s messed up all the way to the bottom.

"For example, ChatGPT could be used to help me quickly and easily generate reports or summaries of the latest research in the field of astrobiology, or to provide assistance with data analysis and interpretation. It could also be used to help me research and gather information about different astrobiological concepts and phenomena, or to provide assistance with other tasks that may be relevant to my work in astrobiology. Ultimately, the ways in which ChatGPT could be used in this context would depend on the specific needs and goals of the individual using it."
That such a small amount of matter could generate so much power is pretty remarkable. I might be way off base but from what I can find online it seems you'd need over 2000 times as much uranium?

I think there is more to Actors than just single-thread-access. Namely only the code of a given actor(-class) should be able to read and write the internal state of "instances" of that class. Why because then only the code-unit/module that defined the state variables can depends on their definition. A bit like "objects" internals can only be accessed by methods of its class.

You've gone off the rails because you can't respond to the fact that things like the distributed design are bigger and more complex and over engineered than necessary.

And you also can't respond to the fact that your claim the system as a whole is smaller or simpler is meaningless because you're comparing a toy to real systems.

You were also unable to furnish me with any examples of what it brought to systems design.

So, this is just a total desperate clutching at straws to try to claim it's not over-engineered for some weird reason. Whatever you call it does not change what it is! And that thing is an unremarkable and un-notable system that grew overly complicated features that were not necessary because the designers fixated on or misidentified certain features from their fist successful system, and failed to gain adoption or influence, in part because of these complexities causing incompatibility and lack of focus on more important areas. That is easily recognizable as second system syndrome by anybody, but you can call it something else if it pleases you.
Super well done! The transition between levels is beautiful.
I use them too. Great customer service with a real and competent person on the line right away. Decided to go with them after some searching. I was getting off Google and they had an actual office and pictures of the people who worked there on their website. Some of their marketing is a bit corny but have had great service over the past few years.
It's worth noting that betaveros won several previous Advents of Code without using Noulith. You can't attribute too much of this year's success to the language. Still, it's pretty cool, and I've really enjoyed reading his solutions. Noulith feels like walking through a syntactic candy store and eating whatever you want.
I don't understand what you mean by this.

[~] $ cat main.go

func main() {
x := []int{1, 2}
append(x, 3)
fmt.Println(x)
}
[~] $ go run main.go

./main.go:7:2: append(x, 3) (value of type []int) is not used

and if you assign the result of the append to something else, x is unchanged.
Their money is gone. Their reputation is tarnished among founders and LPs alike for the next 2-3 years. The partners/analysts who were in awe of SBF have become a laughing stock. I'd say VCs have greatly suffered. But then they will brush it under the carpet in the pretext of "that's the risk we are willing to take while chasing 1000x returns" and I guess that's fair. They voted with their money and reputation and lost both.
Just to pick an example like “PNW”, if you look at a city like, say, Portland, less than half (44%) of the residents are from Oregon at all.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/portland-or-popu...

If you look at where people migrate from,

https://depts.washington.edu/moving1/Oregon.shtml

California and Washington are the major sources (of course!) but (1) California is not PNW, and (2) places other than CA/WA contribute many more migrants.
If you model it as a lifetime annuity with inflation adjustment you are looking at more like 50k/year income at the outset were you to buy today.

My understanding is that annuities provide in general a worse return than the so called 4% rule on average.
Of course, that's the power of Postgres. You can join between columnar tables or between columnar and heap (row-based) tables. The performance of joins hasn't been a specific focus of our engineering work yet, but I made a little test of enriching an analytical query with user data here:

Great to know this is known. My recommendation still holds: publish results with GP3: whatever others do (potentially, wrong) shouldn't prevent you from doing it right.

As someone who works with many business, I can tell you that this is false. There are many more ways to market services than via Facebook and other related Meta properties.
Agreed, hence the importance of treating RSS as an implementation detail rather than a user-facing feature. I'd also love to see more reading apps experiment with algorithmic recommendation too; that's been one of my own focuses for a while.
> All coins have gone through a tumbler at some point. I don't see how that proves anything.

Even if that is the case, exchanges will still require your identity for AML regulations if you try to turn the tainted funds into fiat in [0] and [1], especially for large amounts.

Bitcoin is not anonymous and is completely traceable. The same is true for tumblers.

> This is just wrong

Your reply is not a refutation, but a denial without counter evidence.

Do we exempt the Portuguese, the Egyptians, the Mongols, the Japanese, and so forth? The belief that colonialism is a manifestation of white supremacy is historically uninformed. Did Native Americans suffer at the hands of the European expansion. Certainly, but recognize that the Spanish and the Portuguese both preceded the British. Were the Native Americans peaceful, pastoral peoples prior to the Europeans? Not a chance. History is replete with all nationalities and races subjugating and enslaving others. It is not a British thing or a white thing. That’s simply a modern argument to promote a political agenda.

It will happily fuse further. It just won't support the outside of a star against gravity, while doing it. So the star collapses, fuses lots more stuff even heavier than iron, and then explodes. Most of the iron and heavier stuff fuses into the core of a neutron star, the ultimate in energy-consuming fusion.
