The external marketing site is probably the key, as well as making the items small enough that the profit margins don't get eaten by shipping and the cost of high quality wood.

I've started an Instagram account where I post some of my work, but I've found out that I'm really bad at social media for marketing purposes. I'm currently debating whether it's worth it to become better at marketing or SEO in order to promote my stuff, but even though it is a no-brainer from a business standpoint, it is the opposite of what I want to do.

I originally started this plan to have a workday where I don't look at the screen for 8 hours, and now I've gotten myself in a situation where I look at a screen in my free time to learn how to promote my business.

You're right, art just doesn't scale well. Maybe it's best if I continue to just do it for fun and gift it to friends and family. Not everything needs to be a business.
Tell that to the people developping the product. Nothing in the UI invites caution.
Don't they have live location information for all the vehicles around the airport?
There is also another aspect in addition to sister comment:
When interest rates are low, institutions with contractually agreed returns (pension funds and such) have to invest in riskier assets (stock, private equity, corporate bonds, riskier state bonds) to reach those targets.

When interest rates are where they should be they can just buy G8 government bonds. This leads to pretty big outflows from the stock and corporate bond markets.

Incidentally I think there is a huge blindspot (intentional or not) for the amount of economic pain this interest rate normalization will cause. After 10 years of negative real interest rates (central bank rate minus inflation) the economy and all its participants have become junkies. The withdrawal from the free money drug will be painful but neccesary.
How transparent is Scarf's product adoption metrics for OSS projects? https://about.scarf.sh/

I follow them on Twitter but haven't looked much into it other than reading their documentation, which makes me think that most of their telemetry is done at the point of the package distribution system: https://about.scarf.sh/package-sdks

Based on Google numbers:

There’s 16M flights per year, so saving 5 minutes each is 80M minutes, which corresponds to 160 years.

A plane crash will kill about 160 people; so if one happens every twenty years, then we’ll have saved lives if the average age is over 50 (within 20 years of natural death) and lost lives otherwise.

Personally, seems a bad gamble.
> Apple's behaviour is nothing short of monopolistic and there is no good defence of it imo.

What if we have a straightforward choice between an Apple monopoly and a Chrome monopoly?

I've seen major online shopping websites deploy code that meant firefox users couldn't add items to their shopping baskets, and then classify it as a low priority bug because there was a workaround - using chrome.
> Commercial pressures. Holding for Fedex would have added a few mins

They spent a minute extra before starting their takeoff roll; it wouldn't have hurt to wait an additional 5 minutes. Commercial flights build in a generous margin for ground ops these days. I doubt this was a factor in this specific case.

> maybe lost them their place in the queue, etc.

They were at the runway already, there's no way for them to have lost their place in the queue for that runway 18L [1].

That's okay, time for negotiations has long passed.
Your first step should probably be asking somebody in your management what the best process for this is because there's stuff you want to make sure you handle right to minimize your legal risks.

If it's like any other company, you'll probably schedule a meeting with them and some other manager, give them the bad news, make sure they know what paychecks and benefits they still have coming their way, and be a human and offer them some words of support and encouragement.

As far as your team, I think it's important to not say a bad word about the person let go.

> If high performance isn't one of your goals, then why are you writing C++ at all?

Because high performance isn't a synonym for corrupted data.

You're right, though. Those that care about high performance and correct data are better off with Fortran and Chapel.
Yes… funnily enough this will probably happen…

But while they are securing it, and making sure they have all the pieces and putting everything in a nice safe shipping container to send back to China… they’ll give it the full “Lunik” treatment and learn everything they can…

Oh and any on board data storage will have unfortunately not survived the crash or the time in salt water or both, probably mostly the salt water since that’s easier to convincingly make happen…

Oh and because the Chinese won’t trust that it wasn’t now a bugged Trojan horse, they will probably shred the whole thing the moment they get it back to avoid any possible counterespionage.

Spook shit… sometimes looks a surprisingly like a Scooby Do hallway chase sequence when you break it down to a play by play sequence.
Another possible explanation is that we are simply diagnosing these kind of mental health issues better – due to decrease in stigmatization and/or more attention to it – but that our treatment is worse than doing nothing, and is leading to higher rates of self-harm and suicide.

I have no idea if that's the case – and if it is a factor at all it probably doesn't account for all of it – but it seems something worth exploring. Certainly in my own teen years I benefited more from the occasional swift kick in the backside and being told to "man up" than treatment with school counsellors and such. Not that counsellors are bad, but sometimes you can take things "too serious" which can make matters worse, in spite of being well-intentioned.
Another option I forgot as it's so far away from my world; .NET, they have Xamarin and I think they just released .NET MAUI. That would be C# or F#.

It's not my jam, but it's def cross platform and used quite a bit afaik.
With regard to UBSAN, are the misses that you see examples of specific checkers failing to find the specific sort of UB that they are intended to detect? If so, do the majority of misses seem to come from a small subset of the checkers?
Ask HN: Anybody Want to Speak at Outland 2023?
Outland is a small tech conference for "outland-ish ideas" :)

We have a few more speaker slots available, and we're looking for arcane knowledge and unpopular opinions! We cover airfare, hotel, and transportation for our wonderful lecturers.

This year Outland is happening Aug 26 in Palm Springs, California. We expect many attendees to engage in local nightlife and pool parties over the weekend.

If you (or your company) is interested in speaking, please post your website/bio/idea below, or email me at taylor@outland.sh
Greenwald ain't left anymore. Hasn't been for a decade now.
Maybe from the perspective of webdevs, from what it represents for users, that's Chrome. A Chrome monopoly may seem desirable, because they're catering to webdevs, but there's nothing they'd like more than having webdevs help them lasso all the users they can surveil and expose to ads as possible.
Yeah I wouldn't say it's very close:

Tried it on last image I generated on:
https://blazordiffusion.com/artifacts/50/50418_studio-ghibli...

Original Prompt:

> Studio ghibli, rocket explosion, jungle, solar, green technology, optimist future

> 8k, Bokeh effect, Cinematic Lighting, Octane Render, Iridescence, Vibrant

> by Beeple, Asher Brown Durand, Dan Mumford, Greg Rutkowski, WLOP

Img2Prompt:

> a vehicle in the grass, colorful light dust, cinematic lighting, trending on artstation, ultra detailed, art by akihito yoshida

Looks like a decent image classifier, but not useful for extracting the original stable diffusion prompt.
Use Cases for Transparent Telemetry
Very cool! Very elegant, I like the style, and I like how intuitive it is to play, and yet gets tricky in some of the later levels are.

I'm currently on level 12 with perfect stars.

To me the order of the levels doesn't quite always increase, sometimes a later level is easier. This could just be whatever path I happen to see first, though. If you're collecting data, though, you may be able to use it to re-order your levels.

One small thing that could be nice: the sound of a "click" like a go piece when the pieces collide. A lot of go games have a pleasing click sound, and I think it would be good here. (If you wanted to be fancy it could even be a click when the pieces collide, and a hollow this when it hits the side of the board.)
A conversational interface does not have room for a page of ads. Google results are an entire page of ads for most keywords with commercial intent now. In a chat interface on mobile there is nowhere for them to go.

My opinion that conversational interfaces like ChatGPT will replace a list of links is speculative but not particularly controversial at this point.
They should, but Google's "solution" to the hijacking is the problem here. If you're going to hijack NXDOMAINs, you can just ignore requests to non-existent TLDs in your scheme and Chrome will be none the wiser.

Google manages entire TLDs, surely they can use their own DNS servers for this purpose.
This thread has a lot of language suggestions, but I think you need a fun problem to solve. Pick a toy app and work on it. Learn embedded programming with an Arduino. Write an iPhone app to track when you feed the dog. Make a karaoke app for Android. If you pick a project you'll enjoy, the language won't matter. Use whatever is best for the platform. The fun doesn't come with the language, it comes with seeing your project come to life, or others' reaction to the cool thing you made. Every language sucks and every language is the best depending on who you ask. Don't focus so deeply on that part. Solve cool and fun problems.

I've had a long time dream of getting a broken jukebox and gutting it for a Raspberry Pi, but keeping the external interface in tact. I know next to nothing about hardware engineering, and can't write more than ten lines of Python without needing to Google something, but I finally got a broken juke in need of fixing, a multimeter, and a hard drive full of music ready to go. The fun isn't the Python or learning GPIO, it's that eventually I will have a cool retro jukebox with hardware and software I wrote in my basement.
Is assembly harder to write than lua? How about lisp? I mean you must have some kind of rough ranking of language difficulty in your head. Sure, some of it will be cultural, in a world where middle schoolers are taught s expressions and reverse polish notation lisp might be a lot easier. There certainly is some subjectivity involved.

Still, I think it's reasonable to say that python is easier to write code for.
We have a 100% chance that people here and in other forums are using ChatGPT to build up accounts with karma that can then be used to push advertisements or influence.
But why does it work fine everywhere else ? It's not like we all follow the US model, yet our airports are fine and our airplanes dont crash over silly cost cuts.

There must be something the americans do wrong, somewhere, and optimisation cannot be an excuse for mediocrity. Do it fast and safe or do it slow and safe: the passengers can wait, or build their own planes and airports if they think they can do better.

Der Spiegel had an interesting piece on this where they investigated the various evidence, including previously classified documents: https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/nato-s-eastward-e...

Their conclusion is not really deferent to either side's argument. Russia had every reason to believe in what was repeatedly said and implied, while the US had a justification in going against previous promises as the geopolitical scene shifted quite dramatically from when those promises were made.

Beyond this I'd emphasize in that geopolitical relations it's not like there's any law that forces countries need to abide their promises, whether spoken or written. If somehow there were a secret agreement in which the US overtly and explicitly agreed to not expand eastward in conditions identical to what happened, so what? Call on the UN to pass a meaningless resolution which the US would just veto anyhow?

And so in international relations, the perceived trust of a nation is ultimately far more relevant than the formality of an agreement.
> you buy stuff, offer it for sale of Etsy, and claim all of the goods you purchased as businesses expenses for tax writeoff purposes.

That's not a loophole, that's just fraud that goes undetected because the taxman doesn't know or monitor Etsy. Amazon used to be the same, before someone knocked on their door. Businesses doing that are still guilty of tax fraud and will be convicted if/once authorities come around (since Etsy will be compelled to collaborate).
Is Rust that important that you have to place "built in Rust" in the title? Is this like a cult following that we only bet on traffic and interest coming from other evangelists where Rust is the only feature that matter?

4 months ago: " Meilisearch, open-source alternative to Algolia in Rust lands a $15M Series A"

It's not the first time I see, there are at least 2-3 daily submissions reaching the FP in this manner so I'm curious: "built in Rust" = marketing these days?
Why does it choke on img2img creations? This is just fascinating. It gives a plausible prompt to at least a handful of real non-AI photos from DSLRs and iphones alike.
I’ve been selling on Etsy for a few years and the problem has only been getting worse. Etsy the company seems to turn a blind eye to it since they are making money off of the cheap Alibaba junk as well.

That being said etsy is still the best game in town. People searching there are very ready to buy and if you are able to stand out from the crowd it’s possible to be successful.
I'm not sure we need a whole new programming paradigm and languages (with the hiccup that they'll require bindings to other FFI-libs that do not have as much guarantees). If you have a rich domain and want to benefit from performance boost using "fenced" mutations. Haskell has linear-types, software-transactional memory, and the ST monad. Which are three ways to constrain side-effects over references. If you need tight control of "the CPU as a state-machine", for instance, for IO-heavy services, then you have Rust, ADA and other C-targeting DSLs

Can you point to at least one historical analysis which identifies Russia as a colonial empire?

Seeing people draw this parallel was surprising to me, as I associate colonialism with the European conquerors of the world: Portugal, Spain, France, Great Britain, The Netherlands and Germany.

Indeed I’ve gotten this list from a GEO Magazine special issue dedicated to colonialism, showing on a map where each of those countries had their colonies between ~1400 and 1915. OTOH Belgium isn’t directly mentioned, so perhaps the list is not exhaustive.
I'm not sure what the current thought is, but I'm hopeful contracts makes it into C++, and over a the next years (and iterations of the language) we find ways to make C++ better by proving the whole program correct. This will need a lot of tool support, and changes in the way people write code. However mathematical proofs of the program are the only thing I have left to make my code more reliable: humans are not perfect and unit tests have limits (proofs have different limits).
It's unfortunate that this idea shares a name with the somewhat unrelated Data Oriented Programming (focused on performance and cache utilization).

That said, I very much believe in the value of values. Data should have no associated behavior or have a "place" in memory, the place and the behaviour are secondary. That's why, ironically, "Manager" objects are the best type of object you can have, contrary to OO best practice, because they don't own the data, they just provide a place and behaviour for a particular usage.

The idea of "everything is a hash-map" is also possible in statically typed languages to some extent using row-polymorphic structural types. OCaml and Elm or Koka are great examples.
I agree. This isn't as scary as people say. The threat is that Google does something evil and the web needs to adopt it. Thing is, Chromium is open source. Microsoft or anyone else can immediately fork it. Crisis averted.
Daniel a.k.a. dang may not see this comment. It would be best to email him. hn@ycombinator.com
Reads like a canned response. Words without meaning. Good batch, too.
Says who? The RFCs disagree: just look at all the resource record types. The DNS standards people have been saying for years that the DNS should also be a secure object storage system, because that's a capability DNSSEC brings. Unlike that purely hypothetical use case, this is real people using the DNS roots for an actually important day-to-day function. There's nothing dishonest about what Chrome is doing: it's sending unresolveable uncachable names specifically to avoid ISP DNS servers caching them and tricking users into believing that NXDOMAINs are clean.

This isn't Google using a competitor's resources. It's Google's users using core Internet infrastructure. It's core infra for a reason. We're not required to use it parsimoniously.

I have the impression that most of the concerned comments on this thread believe that Chrome's NXDOMAIN detection is somehow a burden on the Internet roots. It is not. It's prominent on a graph, and that's all. The Internet roots are, by necessity, designed to handle immense amounts of traffic.
This doesn't work for anything that doesn't use the upstream default stable diffusion checkpoint. I generate a lot of images with Pastel-mix, Anything, Waifu Diffusion and Counterfeit, and none of those are giving sensible results with this tool.

For context:
in USSR a person could not choose to move to live in another area, city or town. that was VERY difficult to do (was possible by marriage). Baltic countries and any close to border areas were especially controlled. But military, KGB and Communist party could appoint people to live in Baltic countries. those were "special" people - that proved their allegiance I can say. That is why they are a challenge to Estonia and other Baltic countries.

If you legalize a sizeable population loyal to another country, they can be manipulated to derail political processes in the host country via normal democratic procedures. Things like NATO or EU ascension become challenging. Estonia was right to nip this in the bud.
This is realpolitik, so there isn't any morality beyond expansion and acquisition. Can we stop pretending these are anything other than resource wars, combined with an excuse to throw money at the defence industries?

Russia looked at US actions in Iraq etc and apparently had an irrational attack of imperial atrocity envy, blended with greed over the mineral-rich areas of Eastern Ukraine.

Neither empire is wholesome and good, but the Russians are almost wholly crap at militarised colonialism, while the US is fairly competent at it.

However... Russia is much better at subversion and bribery. Given Jan 6 and the wholesale co-option of the far right of the Republican party - which is most of it - only someone very naive would believe that the US and NATO aren't in danger of being subverted from within. It almost happened in 2020 and it could still happen in 2024.

My suspicion is that Ukraine is part distraction, part attrition campaign against NATO, and part proxy war with China, with Russia as willing (because naively stupid) intermediary.

The real front is the internal politics of each NATO state.

Hungary is already lost, the UK is severely weakened by Brexit, Germany was compromised but is recovering, and the US has some very serious problems with infiltration and subversion.

Which are not being taken seriously enough.

How does Meilisearch compare to ElasticSearch from an operational point of view? I've experienced ElasticSearch to be quite painful to maintain, requiring lots of manual tweaking to balance shards and careful design of indices.

PATCO went on an illegal strike, continued the strike in contravention of court orders, and then remained on strike after a deadline from the president.

They could have returned prior to the final deadline, they could have had a sick-out, they could have worked to rule.

I’m sympathetic to labor demands, but if your oath of office makes it illegal to strike and you participate in a walkout, well, that’s on you.
