Two pronged answer to change in taste.

First off as we age our taste sensitivity changes to things like bitterness. Repeated exposure to a certain food we start to pick up subtle smells and flavours, tune in to what is good and what might be too green or undercooked etc, so in a sense it's changed.

Secondly is what food and drink manufacturers are doing. Sure with a time span of decades some artificial flavours and additives have been dropped in various processed foods and drinks, or some food producers aiming to be more natural but equally not so nice ingredients they have been added in. However there's also year to year changes, with many food brands tinkering ... sometimes I'd guess as a result to squeeze the most profit out, but there's the problem of being stuck with sub standard ingredients in the first place or unavailability of high quality grain, and doing their best to compensate or hide that shortcoming. One of my peeves is how the onion, garlic, olive oil, annatto [e160b] cartel have seemingly got the upper hand in processed food condiments. For instance, I used to have a quick goto snack, a cup-a-soup. In my parts of the world some geniuses decided to bulk it up with onion powder maybe to cut the need for other ingredients, it sort of tastes the same ... not that I but any these days, I don't even like being around myself when on my own, let alone in company.

Salesforce buying Slack made absolutely no sense, but I find the comparison to Teams strange. IME orgs use Teams when they're already in the Microsoft ecosystem since there isn't a great argument for purchasing Slack when you already have Teams included in the package you are paying for. If I'm in the market for a Slack-like product I don't look at Teams unless I'm already paying Microsoft.

The real threat to Slack is less from Microsoft and more from Google if they ever launch a Slack-competitor inside of Google Workspaces. I know for my organization even if there wasn't feature parity, we would probably switch just for ease of billing and access control.
Tinkerers can fine tune a model though. Unfortunately most fine tuning seems to be outmatched at the next iteration of the model.
The base of the log is usually 32 or similar, so it's practically always bounded by... 6. (That's for a billion keys, for example.)
That Ferrari belongs to Cameron's father so Ferris really has no say in what Cameron does to it and it does not mean anything to Ferris.

From the previous scenes we know exactly what that Ferrari is and represents from Cameron himself so I think Ferris is just telling Sloane that this is Cameron's call and not for them to interfere, and perhaps that Cameron actually needs to do it as a catharsis.
You’ll just have to get over it and do the best you can. HN cannot keep giving posts like this soft advice, especially when so many of you are no where in the realm of teenage years anymore. Even if you were in your early 20s, I’d advise you to not sit around and analyze “the feels”. Everyone’s gotta grow up at some point.

Do your best to be a bit more resolute. Everyone is anxious in life about something.

I can tell you for a fact there is someone your age or younger with a family and mortgage and a career change to think about. There’s probably someone your exact age whose entire career got derailed for any number of factors, wondering if they’ll get another go at it. But here you are wondering if your brain will stop working in a few years, or if you will ever get to write a movie.

You can write your movie right now. It’ll suck, but so what? Write another one. You’ll bomb all your upcoming interviews. Go to more.

The current electricity price shock in Europe will (hopefully) force people to think about their energy usage profile a bit more.

Yes it's true that 1:1 replacing the current power generation capacity with solar and wind is going to be really difficult.

BUT if we combine that with small-scale production (local solar/wind) and storage (small batteries in buildings) controlled by a smart grid, with the addition of automatically moving consumption to cheaper hours it's perfectly doable.

You don't NEED to run your dish/clothes washer and dryer the second you come home from work. You can fill them and time them to start so that they run during the night and are ready in the morning, for example. You get cheap electricity and the grid likes it when it gets use on quieter hours too.
I actually agree with this criticism, and it's the best criticism of Tailwind I've seen so far.

I still love using it, and will continue to do so. This isn't enough to stop me from using it. Normally I try to avoid this, and abstract the repeated bundle of tailwind classes in a component instead (it can be a container component or just some useful utility component to avoid having to repeat the same group of classes too much). This can have its own drawbacks, because having too many custom components that you need to remember to use in given situations (which is effectively how most design-systems would work anyway) makes the codebase less approachable.

And even still, we'll end up using the above trick (referencing a group of classes bundled into a property of an object somewhere else) from time to time, as well as the obvious option of just repeating classes as necessary. Referencing classes from an imported object is annoying too, because it breaks intellisense.

I'm honestly not sure what a better solution is though, because Tailwind has really sped things up for me compared to CSS/Sass/Chakra/Material.
Human back online in three seconds is really not much different from instantaneous. Certainly not reasonable to read a book with both hands on the book and not on the steering wheel.
Definitely solid advice.

It may sound simple, but walking daily, drinking water, and sleeping well (and not too late on either side) are fundamental wellbeing factors.

With these three, cognitive ability is maintained (and improved). Also, if you consume sweetened or carbonated drinks, it’s best to reduce your intake (and perhaps quit altogether). This holds true for coffee and alcohol as well.

Two side notes on helpful factors I’ve discovered:

When walking, it helps to not have headphones on (either music or audiobooks) - allow the mind to decompress.

Similarly, if possible, walk in a park, or any area with clean (-er) air and lots of green. This one depends on your location, of course, and you can substitute green with blue if you’re seaside.
Watch lots and lots of YouTube video essays. Soon you too can find meaning in small director decisions.

Be warned, it is a super power those watching movies with you may regret.
My take on this is that (good) content is one of the bigger problems still, particularly also who exactly the original training data belongs to (or where it comes from). There's a certain risk (we'll see with Github CoPilot soon) it will slow down for a bit until the licensing issues are all sorted out. This can only be solved (for now) by bringing in public funding/data, which universities have always been a very good proxy for. Which also means it (usually) should be open access to the public, to some extent (and useful for the garage folks to catch up a bit). But, once we're past that, it'll be all about that giant body of pre-trained data, securely kept within the next Facebook or Microsoft, amounting to literal data gold (just much higher value at a lot less weight).
Small sample but the ones I've used have become crap post Sales force acquisition, Heroku and Tableau
I've use React Router 6 in combination with @tanstack/react-query 4 in a ±2 month old project without issue. I did notice that React Router 6 annoyingly by default returned to an object notation for its routes instead of elements, but with `createRoutesFromElements` the option is still there. I find the object notation less readable and it doesn't follow the React paradigm.

One thing that I imagine would cause issues (or make react-query at least partially redundant) is the `loader` prop that React Router now has that allows is to do data fetching and posting in the router. I didn't try that due to time constraints.

The biggest pain for me in Javascript is tool configuration, it's something that I'm just not good at and configuring Prettier, eslint, testing library (with mocks), tsc, … and all the rules that inevitably start crashing with each other is hell. That's why for the longest time I kept using CRA which had all these things preconfigured with sane defaults. But CRA development is moving at a crawl and with the lack of SSR NextJS makes much more sense so I'm focussing on that now.

- AutoSleep (iOS + watchOS) [0]

I bought it when my Apple watch didn't yet have a sleep tracker and have used it for the last 2 years. Good one! Has helped me understand what works for me and what doesn't. I use the iOS app for analysis.

A sample of my findings :

1. I sleep very well when I have done some hatha yoga exercises + eating early

2. I sleep pretty well when I eat early and eat mostly salads

3. Beer ruins my sleep (no surprise, really!)

4. Cheesy/foods heavy in spices make my sleep bad and my energy levels in the morning low

What I read is she would have much less pressure if she didn't take VC money.
That's why evolving new company and retiring old company is important. Japan is bad for this.
Didn't downvote you either, but humans aren't saplings that can be uprooted and planted elsewhere without issues. I've moved countries thrice and I would not recommend that to the general public, especially if they have support from family and friends.
> exorbitant electricity prices,

Yeah, no. There is no state in India that has exorbitant electricity prices for domestic consumers. Virtually every state discom sets the base tarrif below cost. People steal electricity because they can, not because they can't afford it.
Model size does not necessarily correlates to quality of results.

The author compared it to Chakra UI (in the last code sample; misspelled Charkra).

He recommends ThemeUI, Rebass, Stitches and Radix for a design systems, specifically. A recent and very powerful alternative is Tamagui which takes inspiration from all of those.

Ask HN: Fundraising Advice for Bootstrapped Founder
Hi HN,

I'm the solo founder of a startup in the recruiting space, doing about $.5MM ARR and wondering whether I should raise a seed round.

Context: I've built everything up myself until now (~2.5 years since I started), the company is profitable, growing, and recently hired someone to help me with customer support. I have plenty of ideas and a solid roadmap for the future of the company, but I now feel as though I personally just don't have enough time/resources to take the company to the next level at a good enough speed if I keep doing it the way I've been doing it until now.

I know I could keep going bootstrapping and grow slower as I've done until now but am also a bit paranoid that someone in my space would raise the money I've been afraid to raise until now (seeing new players pop up), take my opportunity and obliterate me out of existence: it seems to me like the best way to secure my future and my company's future at this point could be to become the (fictional) competitor I'm so afraid of.

I've never raised any money but I think given the company profile & markets, I could raise 2-5MM for less than 20% of my company and this would give me some security at a decent price (help with hiring and growing). At the same time, I'm still a little unclear what the expectations of a VC firm would be for a company like mine and whether that would be aligned with me: I'm not looking for a lifestyle business and would prefer to go faster, but I also don't want to put on golden handcuffs.

I would particularly appreciate any feedback from founders of both funded and bootstrapped companies (or ideally founders with experience in both) with pros/cons for each route.

Thanks!
I live in the southern hemisphere, and I've travelled a bit. The sunlight where I live is of a hard, stark, dazzling kind. A brilliant white that reflects off surfaces with increased intensity. It reminds me of the photos of spacewalking astronauts doing repairs, their suits ablaze and every surface overexposed.

I find sunglasses a must-have in these conditions.

Sitting in the sunlight on an even mildly sunny day is scary. If you're paying attention, after only five minutes you'll notice a burning sensation on your exposed limbs. And that is actually what is happening - you're being fried by the Sun's rays.
That also ties better into the main theme of the book, which heavily emphasises human connection, which is what Cameron and his father lack. The eventual complete destruction of the car (and part of the garage) would spur Cameron into an actual conversation with his father and Cameron's emotions regarding the lack of interest in him.
Revolutionizing the Future of Cybersecurity with Quantum-Proof Encryption
In today's digital age, protecting sensitive data has become a top priority for organizations and individuals alike. However, as quantum computing technology advances, traditional encryption methods such as RSA and AES are becoming increasingly vulnerable to hacking. This is where quantum-proof encryption, also known as post-quantum encryption, comes in.

Quantum-proof encryption utilizes advanced algorithms that are resistant to attacks from quantum computers, providing an unprecedented level of security for your data. This includes methods like Lattice-based encryption and Code-based encryption that use complex mathematical properties to encrypt data.

Don't let your organization fall victim to a cyber attack. By implementing quantum-proof encryption, you can have peace of mind knowing that your data is secure and protected against even the most advanced forms of hacking. With its ability to safeguard sensitive information and pave the way for a safer digital future, quantum-proof encryption is truly the future of data security.

By making your message more professional and engaging, it will encourage readers to take action and consider using this technology for their organization security. Also it highlights the importance of the technology and how it's a step ahead from the current encryption methods.
Why is this getting downvoted? Did I miss something? I only found those 6 errors (each occurs in two tests, so 3 types)
In general I'd recommend using the built-in FileResponse class instead of rolling your own.
Apart from the social media and streaming stuff:

- Spectroid: A spectrum analyzer to help me identify "that annoying sound I hear" or "what's wrong with the sound in this place?" I'm not good at ignoring sound, but it helps me when I understand something about it, like "oh, that's a 10 khz harmonic" still annoying but slightly less.

- DiggieDog: Gopher client, extremely fast, good for when I'm somewhere with REAL bad Internet.

RPKI ROA is trivially by-passable with a path modification attack. It only helps stopping hijackings of really well connected networks. And sadly it’s still not required.

> and ASPA is coming

Yeah, but it’s not here and requires verification at each AS append, which means we’re a good 5 years before it’s really enforceable on arbitrary prefixes across transit networks.
“chock” full (IQ 150)
I guess this speaks to the way that people like binary thinking.

so "ML is cool!" -> "AI will take over all the jobs"

"Quantum computing is cool" -> "Quantum computers will replace all other computers"

In most of these cases these new tools will take over some amount of whatever came before, but it's rarely as simple as completer replacement.

Nice article, btw.
So, Argon2 is great and everything, and in an economic security model it certainly is more secure than PBKDF2, given what we currently know about costs of operations. However, it doesn't really fundamentally change the argument of the article. Although the model is more complicated for Argon2, you'd still have to crank the parameters up to fairly insane levels to get the kind of security guarantees that are expected by modern cryptography. IMO, if you want secure long-term encryption then the only reliable choice is to use a high-entropy password/phrase/key in the first place. And if you do that, then the password on its own is resistant to brute force and so you don't need PBKDF2 or Argon2.

(There is some "sweet spot" of hard-ish passwords of say 80 bits of entropy, where PBKDF2 or Argon2 would push it over into cryptographically-secure territory. But such a password is already extremely hard to remember, which means you are probably writing it down or storing it in a password manager already. So you may as well just make it longer).
How often do you actually use voice query ? The only thing I use Siri is switching music when I'm driving and even that is like 80/20 to understand me correctly.

What's the use case anyway ? Fact checking someone in a conversation ? Doesn't sound like something I'd pay for.
Quite correct- though the UK Met Office has a specific non-commercial API in DataPoint which is pretty good.
That's good advice but will have to say that it is unfortunately out of your control. It has a lot to do with genetics than people want to admit.

I have health and mental conditions that interfere with my mental abilities and makes career progression difficult and it's all due to being born with those.

So yeah do eat healthy and exercise but also be realistic. Some people have it easy and take it for granted, other don't, such is life.
I am thinking of Nietzsche's thoughts on Christianity being built on slave morality.
I said "I feel like"... that's just how reading the article made me feel

I think if it was really intent on providing a clear argument, the author would have gone to a little more trouble to show their work and taken us all on the journey

As they didn't, I'm not convinced, and the fact that it's made its way to the top of HN suggests there's just a bunch of anti-TW up-voters ready to jump as soon as there's a whiff of some apparently-new reason not to use it

Kinda disappointed this article got shared again tbh

According to this, those 40 recruiters grew Zapier from 550 to 800 in 2022. So they added 250 staff with about 40 recruiters, or 6.25 new hires per recruiter.

A big part of AI is weaponising our biases, it's not the first time, won't be the last.

Feed it shit and it'll give you shit, too bad the training set (internet) is already and open air dump.

We'll be in a very bad downward spiral really soon when AI trains on AI generated content
I highly doubt this in practice on a large scale. Outside of the common phenomena of "most large NNs are under trained" and "less better data is sometimes better than more worse data", there are no other obvious mechanisms to explain why a smaller model with same or similar architecture would be better than a larger one.

I claim instead that we are still hardly scratching the surface with how we evaluate NLP systems. Also, some fields have straight up trash evaluation schemes. Summarization and ROGUE scores are totally BS and I find the claim that they even correlate with high quality summaries suspect. I say this with publications in the that subfield, so I have personal experience with just how crummy many summarizes are.
DARPANET was no more complex than large multi organizational projects like LLVM or Linux.

It wasn’t a giant coordinated thing that needed decades of patience. It was the epitome of an iterative project that involved stitching university systems together as the opportunity arose.
I think this is quite true, and I've noticed that my son can remember virtually every pokemon card and football player he's interested in whereas I've started to have to write things down. His world is quite small and now with the Internet etc our focus is very wide. It takes serious discipline to focus on something low level exclusively and not be subject to outside interference.

So it is only usable in congested Autobahn traffic to begin with - it's the minimum speed you're allowed to drive on a clear road.

Or getting frustrated about a movie breaking (or lacking) consistency in the underlying mechanics of the world its drawing.

I'm constantly in this situation, starting to laugh about something that is building up below the surface of a scene, just to frame something (entirely else) that is then presented directly to the viewer in that scene. While people sitting next to me look bewildered at my face and back at the screen...
