So we are surprised the first version of something presented as beta and early access is not production ready?

Chat as a summarizer and guide to search could genuinely be novel.

It is confusing though on how the results could be worse than search - maybe a different approach to AI will help get past the current challenges if any can't be worked around.

I'm a little rusty on the potential benefits of say reinforcement ai/learning vs the current approaches of GPT

YouTube revenue got a huge bump in 2021 which is when that wildly profitable estimate was given.

I don’t have specific estimates I can link to, but I’ve seen statements like this fairly regularly: There are more questions around YouTube’s profitability, but he said the general view was that it was “modestly profitable but not dramatically so.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/24/technology/youtube-financ...

Of course when Google actually disclosed what percentage of their revenue came from YouTube it was well below the 20% suggested in that piece.
Yes, but since in many locations in the world you won't find a power grid to tap into every hundred kilometers, that still means you'll effectively have a cable carrying both fiber and copper.
To me the article is just economics 101.

1) Supply is constrained (by the war and sanctions), demand is fixed to rising, so price goes up.

2) Price goes up, so there is more demand for alternatives, including dirty ones (coal) but also green ones (solar, wind, etc).

3) Increased investment in green energy sources will make them more competitive faster than expected and thus spur the transition.
> Specifically, a proprietary vendor can use and/or modify your GPL-licensed library on their server-side application and is not obligated under the terms of GPL to release any changes, so long as they never distribute the app.

Sure but if it doesn't make sense to use that service remotely, then just use the FOSS one instead. If the expected behavior is that the software you are writing will be running on a computer the user directly interacts with and can physically touch, it's probably fine to use the GPL.

Web services and web libraries are a whole different ball game but I'm not going to use a GUI, signals analysis/transform, data structures, CUDA, hardware interface, or other common local library if I have to call it over a network. Doubly so if I now have to fight with an RPC endpoint instead of a DSL or library in my native language.

And when I say GPL, there are a handful of different flavors. I generally think GPL+linker/classpath is a fine choice for most projects that are geared towards commercial use. I'd say LGPL is fine too and it is but there are some small differences between GPL+LE/CPE and LGPL. So for the sake of simplicity, "just default to GPL unless you have a good reason to increase or decrease the copyleft-ness".
Ask HN: Any Guidance Navigation and Controls (GNC) Engineers on Here?
I'm wondering how people like the field, pros/cons to software dev, and also maybe where you work, to try to compare some of the newer companies in the field to the more established ones.
Thanks for the reply, why do you say it seem like a natural ordering for a wire protocol?
Hey Dustin, could you share a few details of how you are funding your projects? I know that you have been working in hyperfiddle for a long while but not sure if you have any revenue from it yet.

Your projects are very “futuristic” and the kind of thing I imagine may be hard to get financial backing for, because of the novelty and other considerations… so makes me curious how you balance innovation with monetization in your work.

Thank you!
Exactly

> Cause academic families will not fear such a slap

It's also that, to an academic family, a high school counselor won't even register as a "person of authority". It's a pretty low skill position, and they will likely assume they have more knowledge than the counselor regarding college (which wouldn't be a bad assumption).

> Its also a thing, thats very common in european societys with rigid class structures, like Britain.

It's something that has been echoed to my by brits here in the Valley. They described coming to America as freeing, which confused me at first because I know the BBC and British medias generally aren't so positive on America. Guess the brain flow doesn't lie.

Ask HN: Can you use YC co-founder matching for a side project?
I am looking for a co-founder for my side project. I love my full-time job, and have no plans to go full-time on the side project.

Can I still use YC's co-founder matching platform in this scenario? Obviously, I would be explicit that this is a side-project and may remain that indefinitely.

Thanks
It's a good article (perhaps a little slow to get going), and an interesting topic.
I suppose today, with the surges of interest in ML-derived content, the concept of "color" of bits is more relevant than ever.

There's the quote "Machine learning is money laundering for bias" (consider, eg, that if you ask an image generator model to create a "woman," it will very likely be a white woman), and I suppose the same is true for copyright, and other things. Basically it adds a layer of plausible deniability, and some could argue changes the "color of the bits."

As the article discusses, the law often _does_ care about the color/provenance of bits, though CS people are more prone to take a "data is just data" approach.
I think the nuance that is lost is that the "better" is not uniform. The previous world worked better for some people, the current one works better for others. It is probably a net gain on the whole, but the dispersion of results might be stronger than the underlying trend.

Averages are what make comparisons hard - there is a lot of variation within the averages. Truckers in the U.S., for example, were way better off in 1970 than they are today (in relative terms). But an average factory worker in China was way worse off.
Yeah, and further confounding is the timelines for connection to trade for different cultures also vary significantly.

I would love to see a good visualization of the history of commodity trade.
> investment in green energy sources will make them more competitive faster than expected and thus spur the transition

The article is worth the read. Apparently "S&P Global, a data firm, thinks emissions from energy combustion will peak in 2027, at a level the world would still be producing in 2028 had the war not happened." This isn't theorized market activity, it's actual changes in generation capacity plans made over the last twelve months.
The Russian Invasion of Ukraine has been such an amazing tool for distinguishing actual anti-war people from anti-west ghouls. It's a completely indefensible war of aggression by an imperialistic power against it's former subject but since the imperialistic power is Russia suddenly all these "anti-war" activists think it's fine.

In other words, it's more profitable teaching people to become Amazon drop-shippers than it is to be one.
> Microsoft needs to get as good as Google from an advertisers perspective

Not really. Microsoft needs to take Google’s search users to kneecap Google’s revenue and weaken a major competitor. It doesn’t necessarily need to take the revenue to come out stronger - it just needs that revenue to leave the competitor.
My point was as much that showing it is a blocker on the receptors is not the same as showing it just "builds up" in your system. It isn't so implausible that I don't believe it, but a study would be good. Similarly, showing it moves to another part of your body does not imply that it is just "waiting its turn" for getting into the receptors later. Indeed, if they reach a steady state in the rest of your body, it seems to imply you are always binding less of it.

The link you gave showing it is increased in plasma levels feels good. I would still question whether or not it only gets consumed in the receptors, versus changing where it is stored in the body. (That is, does your body "burn" the same amount of the stuff regardless of whether it is in the receptors or not?)

That said, these questions are just asking how far we have come in understanding. And, really, my main point was to be fair to the question asked and see if there is evidence of the claim. And... quite frankly, there isn't. There were no studies linked showing that you will be tired later if you have coffee. None. To claim that what is there does that, is to hide behind sophistry of science to push claims that it isn't making.
This is a layoff, but it’s at least one that makes sense. Consolidating offices feels more reasonable to me than just slicing headcount randomly. I hope the severance package is good.
Some people are caffeine hyper-metabolizers. You may be one.

And no, the "standard" coffee dose is a single "double"/"cafe" cup (ie, 12oz or ~350ml total) of drip or immersion or pour-over (extraction methods vary caffeine extraction, see recent James Hoffman video on an example of how much). Drink this cup somewhere between an hour after waking up and 8 hours before going to bed.

Anything more does not increase the focusing effect of caffeine much, but does greatly increase the side effects in some individuals. Anything more than that can drive up tolerance.

3-5 cups a day (measured in single 6oz/~125ml cups) would be too high of a dose (even if taken along that prescribed timing window, not in one go), and would also be driving up tolerance; however, this approximates the standard western use of it, ie, is "normal/average".
I'll bet your vice principal could teach classes, and used to teach classes before being promoted. They may even do so occasionally, if a teacher is unexpectedly sick. My school's vice principal taught two class, so about 4 hours a week IIRC.

I'll also bet that's unlikely to be the case for the football coach.
Easy way to accelerate attrition (and thus, headcount reduction) without announcing layoffs.
You do realise that majority of azov are ethnic Russians who speak Russian ?
It's true. I think we collectively know this too, but trick ourselves into thinking we're not the ones eating the SAD. In reality, most of us are; it's sort of like we think we aren't the traffic. McDonalds doesn't serve billions because none of us eat there, and the grocery store doesn't have aisles of garbage because no one's eating it. I think we also have a tendency to under estimate just how frequent our indulgences are, even if we generally eat a bit better than the SAD. This is how we gradually become obese. It's definitely a weakness in the human psyche.

A major eye opener for me after the last couple of years has been how crazy our diets really tend to be and how easy it is to just stop it. Like, I used to battle internally about if I ate well enough that day to eat [insert garbage here]. Like that's ever a conversation worth having with yourself, or it would ever make sense to want the garbage in the first place. But I figured I was eating whole foods (usually, I guess, maybe?), eating meat from "good" and "ethical" sources, eating what I thought was a lot of vegetables.

And yet the science shows that people who eat like I did are dying earlier than they need to and suffering from diseases people didn't typically get up until recently. And I found myself gradually gaining weight despite not noticing a change in my caloric intake.

I'm not sure exactly what caused me to snap out of it (there were several factors), but in any case, I'm glad I did. And you're right – eating well is trivial if you're starting anywhere near the SAD. With a bit of motivation you can level up tremendously with minimal effort.
I think it is more accurate to include both.

I'm gonna be real with you: it was fun. I was never the best athlete or trombone player when I did marching band but myself and many other kids who honestly didn't have a future playing sports at a collegiate level had genuine fun playing and practicing.

And after school is literally the most convenient time to practice for everyone involved including coaches, parents, and students due to the peculiarities of American living. When I was in school around half of American school children played some kind of organized sport and most probably got the same night's sleep as the other half that didn't. At the collegiate level they do what you suggest and often have two practices a day in the morning and evening for the biggest sports.

Have the same experience:

- ms teams on my windows laptop turns it into a raging heater. While i dont even have my webcam on.

- ms teams is so multi-functional you can do anything with it. Office suite, create polls (that are very laggy). It is so bloated there’s clearly no straightforward UX flows. Buttons all over the place. Desktop UI feels terribly slow.

- typing in chat boxes is laggy as hell.

I’m not alone. My colleagues experience similar issues as me.
Despite the drubbing the Economist is taking in this thread (and I'm no fan myself) this article is pretty much innocent of this accusation. The article simply points to some modeling which indicates European/American subsidies for green energy and the increased friction in the global oil/gas markets created by the war in Ukraine have accelerated energy transitions in advanced economies.

It makes no conclusions about the future beyond these models and does not hand-wave away climate risk at all.
Library Genesis has an "Upload" button on the top bar, the common login and password for which can be found from simple a Google search. They might also run more organised scanning/sourcing operations on their forums.
Couldn't disagree more.

Porn might have issues like unrealistic portrayals of sex, but ultimately it's empowering for men. By helping guys to meet their sexual needs without depending on a relationship, this gives them greater freedom of choice. Without it, you would see a lot more guys staying in crappy relationships with people they don't like because they are dependent on them for sex.

Social media can make people depressed because they can more easily compare themselves with others. But ultimately, that's a good thing. When people advertise their success, it makes others more likely to emulate it. People see their friends making lots of money and traveling the world and it makes them feel bad, it makes them unhappy in the short term, but it also lets them know that they can do better and don't have to settle for what they have now.

You don’t have to screen shot anything to get text out of Apple News. You can use the high tech procedure of “selecting the text and copying and pasting”

There's https://www.hugsql.org/ for example. It takes maps for inserts and updates, and returns maps for selects. Other database access libraries over the years have typically shared that characteristic.

If you want to convert between maps that map directly to tables and some other structure, manipulating maps in Clojure is easy.

You're right, but I wouldn't really consider this sort of thing to be a "normal control". I get that you can implement it "only" with HTML+CSS+JS, which is probably better than as a canvas thing, but there's really no basic concept for such a thing without JS hacking, at least not as far as I could tell.

I’m fine with using Teams for the actual scheduled meeting video calls.

It isn’t amazing — but has been relatively reliable for me. The app takes up too much memory, but Slack video calls have had a lot of issues also (although Huddles has improved things a lot).

My contention with using teams would be for team text chat. No thank you, it is terrible. I’d rather use Slack or really any alternative.

When these forced teams migrations happen, what I’ve seen most people do is some core subset of the dev team has an unofficial Discord, free Slack, or Telegram channel that they use for chat instead.

I used to do stuff like this with a mouse with a lot of buttons. It feels kinda cool for a while.

Nowadays I'm using a tiling wm and I dont even use a mouse unless I'm playing a shooter. It's a game controller for me. Some graphical applications are built around a mouse unfortunately, so I use my touchpad (lately getting used to the nub on my thinkpad) when necessary, it's not for the most part. If you write code, or find you don't really use your PC for entertainment purposes all that often, besides playing a video in VLC or something, it's a superior experience and I recommend it. It makes the machine feel less like a kiosk and more like an extension of your mind, it's a dance you do from one context to another, tasks performed like the flow of water. There's a feel to getting things done that is a lot like parkour. Even unrelated programs compose from a UX perspective very well. Operating a computer with one finger and your wrist, mentally mapping tasks to the menus they're nested in will feel a lot more sluggish and cumbersome once you get used to the keyboard focused approach to interaction. It might feel like a steep learning curve, but so is a keyboard compared to Morse code, and you wouldn't dream of typing up anything in morse code once you have a keyboard in front of you.
"Honkler" is an out-and-out alt-right meme. Don't expect intellectual honesty.

> Thus, if you quit the caffeine intake suddenly after many days or weeks of regular intake, you get a crash of biblical proportions.

Anecdotally, I had the flu a week at a bit ago. When I'm ill I take my caffeine intake down to zero (so I'm not compromising my sleep). This time I stuck with it. Over the last 10-ish days I've had half a cup of caffeinated coffee. The rest has been decaf (which I believe typically has some trace amounts of caffeine).

I used to drink at least 2 cups, usually 3 per day, occasionally more. I've had no side effects from going to zero. Maybe I wasn't heavy enough of a coffee drinker? But I did expect to feel it while I detoxed. Guess not.

Then I don't think we disagree on anything. My only objection was to the use of the word "afraid", as if we're all either irrational or brainwashed and there aren't real practical issues with copyleft in certain situations.

In short, you're arguing against anti-copyleft FUD, and I'm arguing against anti-non-copyleft FUD. Both are important for a FUD-free discussion.
Personally I didn’t find your tone really warrants an apology, and anyway the search feature is pretty unobtrusive :)

"Struggle to survive" gives meaning to life though. And one of the best ways to form deep connections with people is shared hardship.

It's really hard to say what's "better" in any sort of objective and quantifiable way; but it seems to me that by making the basics of life very easy we've sort of lost something along the way.

After all, playing a game that's so easy that it doesn't provide any challenge isn't much fun either, right?

In my unasked-for opinion, he should absolutely give up on this project, and take a salaried job that'll let him support his family and not have to deal with the entitlement issues and lack of perspective the community evidently has.

Part of the joy of coffee is the ritual around its preparation. I imagine the same is true for matcha tea drinkers in Japan, which has quite a ritual.
I'm not talking necessarily about the wider economy, rather only "Companies that are capable of succeeding with remote workers" as I stated, regardless of the label you want to apply to them. But certainly tech/software companies primarily.

So let's constrain our point of contention simply to these companies. The larger players have an outsized position in hiring, and a few cities have an outsized position in being the location where these companies and employees operate and live, so the trends in these companies and these locations is meaningful.

Even if there's a hybrid strategy where more companies locate in midwest/lower costs areas and they have some remote workers, my claim is there will be less real estate footprint than before covid and more WFH employees. And that this combination, even if just marginal, will be a net benefit for these companies vs themselves before pandemic if they didn't have this strategy before and going forward vs those that don't do it/are intransigent on remote work.
