Try cold calling or knocking on doors. There's nothing else like it. Not sure any other experience can teach you as much. Doubtful that any courses or eBooks can provide the same fundamentals.

There's no substitute for being able to look the customer in the eye and observe the cues provided. You know instantly when something isn't working. When you go back to the keyboard you'll be able to understand customers more intuitively.

Analytics, multivariate testing and technical approaches make more sense once you grasp the basic premises. I'd describe in-person sales as an intangible. Maybe you can divine some of those cues from statistics after testing, but that doesn't give you the same intuition to craft a pitch to test.

What's wrong with paracetamol? It's a liver toxin. Why's that bad?

Teenage girls.

People who live with teensge girls should treat paracetamol like firearms.

OR

Just regulate that, whatever? 100mg of n-acetyl-cystiene be in each tablet, thereby rendering the overdose potential significantly reduced.
Yes, my point exactly.

Disk encryption wasn't even part of the default install flow before. You had to go out of your way to find documentation, understand how to run it, find some more documentation, get "RTFM" replies on their IRC channel.

Doesn't seem very secure by default to me.

> People tend to compare these frameworks on things that don't matter - often it's performance.

Performance people get offended when they hear things like that. I imagine what they will tell a person who says something like this is to:

- Look at the traces. Real metrics, on real devices that users have, not the one that developer has.

- Consider either large contentful paint (will likely be subpar with client-side rendering) or first input delay (will likely be subpar with server-side rendering). Consider, too, the new interaction-to-next-paint metric (rumoured to be bad with all js-heavy sites)

If these metrics look good, then great; carry on doing what you are doing. If they don't look so good, then, they would say, reflect on whether what you are building is losing the business money by driving users away.
A man can dream!
If you were given the task "mimic the sound of Japanese as best you can", at first, you would just learn the basic phonology and just try and mimic the general sounds of the language. You would get good at that, and eventually you would be perfectly mimicking the pronunciation of Japanese phonemes. At some point, it would become worth your time to actually learn how different sounds are put together, e.g. Japanese can't have an S sound followed by a T sound. After that, you may start to learn how the different syllables interact. And at some point, you would learn how words are put together to form sentences.

At a certain point, there really is no difference between "being really good at mimicking the sound of Japanese" and actually knowing it, because in order to mimic it to a high level you will have to actually know it. "Mimic the sound of Japanese" is the equivalent task here to "predict the next token in this text".
that example is a local disaster, not an apocalypse.

but yes, there most certainly were people predicting it and they probably didn't get a chance to enjoy being right.
Thing is, they say “Read the FAQ” - and if you actually do read and follow the FAQ then you can do what you want 99% of the time.

For example, couldn’t access the internet using WiFi and wired Ethernet at the same time - spent hours fiddling about, trying to make both adapters ‘egress’ - couldn’t do it. Then … remembered the FAQ:

Networking -> Wireless -> Trunking a Wireless Adapter

- there it was.

Here's a couple of my most fun ones.

1. Mac build crashes with "illegal instruction" due to AVX512 instruction that the Mac CPU doesn't support. Problem is though that the AVX512 code is in its own file, and this particular function is only called if AVX512 is supported by the CPU. So this code should never even run, and in fact it doesn't, so what gives?

Turns out that the AVX file is compiled with -mavx512f (sensible enough), and that this file includes a header that defines:

const float SQUARE_ROOT_OF_2 = (float)sqrt(2.0f);

Turns out that GCC compiles this to code including AVX512 instructions, which get executed completely bypassing the "if AVX512 is supported" check.

Fix: Change the constant to a numeric value.

2. Code crashes oddly on shutdown. Debugging shows destructors run twice.

Turns out the project is split into a large number of libraries one of which is 'shared', and includes very general purpose stuff like logging. 'shared' then gets linked into other libraries, which get linked into the resulting binary.

When linking statically this has the fun result that libfoo links to libshared, libbar links to libshared, and then libfoo and libbar make up the binary. Now there are two copies of libshared that end up in the binary, and this results in static variables being constructed and destructed twice.
Post-Ballmer Microsoft is not so bad.
It does work through the problem, both with the logic, and with the number puzzle, providing all the intermediate steps necessary to solve it.

The problem here is that all the intermediate steps have serious mistakes in them. It's like asking a Markov chain to do algebra. There's numbers, and letters, and equals signs, and its all just word soup.

> Every dollar spent on nuclear, or every dollar spent on gratuitous nuclear regulation? Renewables kill many more people and render far more land uninhabitable per kWh generated; if we normalized our safety requirements then we'd turn off more coal more quickly by going to nuclear.

Ehh what. None of this is true.

> Germany switched their policy away from nuclear and the result is they've spent more money (just look at the cost of the required grid upgrades alone from their renewable programme) and generated more CO2 (with coal plants being kept open past planned shutdowns, and in some cases even restarted).

The great thing is that we are in 2023 and not 15 years ago. Germany spearheaded the renewable transition with the subsidies and huge buildout they enabled. Today we can utilize the fruits of that.

We make choices based on the options today, not past results.

> There's plenty of space for renewables in the mix, but opposing nuclear doesn't mean more money gets spent on renewables and certainly doesn't mean more emission reduction; quite the opposite.

Then the money gets spent on other economic activity, rather than siphoning state subsidies to a pet nuclear project.

Remember that OpenBSD is mainly a research OS, and a great on in my opinion.
What artists? They will just move to physical art pieces and charge more for that once commissioned to do that. This only affects digital artists; not those who do physical art, sculptures and hard back paintings.

HN only tells me that almost none of you have even visited a modern art museum.
Software but a nice bug: A really long time ago I worked at a company creating a nice portal application in ASP.NET (version 1.1) for a client. Was cool to build. Client did not follow our guide on how to install the application. We tolled them it should run on a separate machine and they just crammed it together with 7 other web applications. Since the portal had a login feature where people could change their resume with was quite sensitive. At the certain time we got a call that people saw each others resume. We used most desktops in our office to simulate the issue and wrote scripts to simulate different users. it took weeks to finally reproduce it.
As it turned out it was not our problem but a bug in ASP.NET... we had lots of calls with multiple offices of Microsoft. At some point we heard nothing back from them. We wrote our own state manager to avoid the issue but that also did not solve it.
A few months later .NET 2.0 came out. One of the item in the release notes was that a fix was made that when too many requests on a ASP.NET server (IIS) would make the http.dll (not sure on the name) serve a cached version of the previous request..
We lost the account and a 100K of work that was never paid and we almost wend to court on this one...
"Performance" matters a lot less than many other things like collaborating with other people, or getting the DOM manipulation right.
> How green is all that construction? How expensive is it to build all those green buildings?

Wildly indeterminate on both questions because at that scale it is primarily a function of government rules and interventions rather than personal actions — just consider how much money people actually had when half the city was built.

But that also goes both ways, because a single building doesn't need to care about most of the infrastructure — sure, the site needs to have utility connections and a road, but you personally neither need to nor care to make the decisions about the capacity of the nearby sewage farm/high voltage power lines, or if there are enough schools/hospital beds/police stations, or if the Autobahn and Eisenbahn have enough capacity to supply the supermarkets.

I know it can be done cheap because of how little money there was when most of it was first put together, and that other much poorer nations also do many of these things.

But exactly how cheap? Exactly how green? I don't know if your investigation was professional or personal, but either way I suspect you have more to tell me than vice-versa.
you have more at stake in the topic than i do, but as someone still affected by the strikes, i got a few words to retort:

if the way to go about protesting is to choose days as per convenience and to have barbeque on the tram tracks, then feel free to do this on a weekly basis. meanwhile, the people on the grind are being affected by disruption of essential public utilities. just like the roller-skating phenomenon mentioned by another poster in the thread, it is only reinforcing the belief of not relying on others in society for your day-to-day needs.

the way people go about it in this instance is not garnering any sympathy by those who need the most support in society.

EDIT: grammar
That is simply not true, OpenBSD is not mainly a research OS, it is widely used (for a non-linux OS) in networking appliances, to begin with.
It works both ways.

The OpenBSD developers know that their users take security seriously, over convenience and just-works installers.

So it's a safe bet that OpenBSD users will take the few extra (well-documented) manual steps to encrypt their storage devices, leaving the developers to focus on things that are not easy for users to do for themselves.

Adding the convenience to the interactive installer is clearly a good thing, but it would not be at the tippy-top of the priority list if you have limited funding and developer time.

The quickest obstacle you’ll run into as someone new to React will be something like this

function MyComponent() {

const [num, setNumber] = useState(42);

// infinite loop
setNumber(n => n + 1);

return <div>{num}</div>

}

Trying to make state updates at the top level of a component will result in an infinite loop.

```

I've taught React to dozens of people without ever seeing someone try this. A render function is an idempotent function that produces UI for a given state, and it's called every time the state changes. What are you, semantically, trying to do by updating state midway through a render function? This isn't a footgun, this is the author picking up a screwdriver and going "I wonder what happens if I press it against my eyeball"

There is: they've spent a fortune of their money on building it.

I think Silverlight was trying to compete with Flash. This Designer product seems very different - it seems to be an attempt at image generation and integration into a desktop publishing application.
Yes. And then when you ask why the X11 server is bundled by default, even on a headless install, that's not in the FAQ, and they get very defensive about it...

What I'm saying is: it's probably a great OS with great documentation, but the community isn't welcoming at all.
Or it could write code in python and evaluate it, people are experimenting with that sort of thing.

We are. Marginal cost + paying for CO2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Emissions_Tradi...

You are missing the time factor. Supplying 90% means that a vast majority of time they fulfill 100% and the expensive storage is not required. All based on the marginal price market Europe employs.

The storage would still be needed, but it is not the marginal cost and maybe storage is not the right path? Maybe it is sector coupling? Maybe it is demand response from hydrogen production for industrial use? Maybe it is not charging most cars for a couple of days?

As with all capitalistic systems a holistic organic approach will emerge. If it is not good enough adjust the market conditions. Sweden is already putting most stabilization services on an open market, with the goal to trade all day-ahead like power.

Pulling out a five-year plan of having nuclear solve it in 20 years will only lead to pain.
I read this sentiment as basically saying the users experience of the app matters less than the experience of the dev who works on it.

> Chat messages derive from physical mail, not phone calls

Chat messages are not physical things and trying to apply laws that are based on important distinctions with regards to physical things to features in an application is not useful. Even then, you can still send someone something but retain rights over it.

> Those first phone calls were direct evolution of spoken conversation

Frankly I find it a little weird that a fast back and forth chat on discord over the internet is being likened more to sending a physical bit of paper with delays of multiple days per message than a chat over the phone.

First letter: Hi. Do you have a minute

Reply: Yes. What is it?

Second letter: I've got a problem.

Reply: Is this on the new product?

And it's a week later.

The name of it is even a chat message. To say chat messages are not like a chat is weird to me just because they're not audio files.

I strongly think either comparison is irrelevant but I'm quite surprised at the distinction you're trying to draw.

Worth remembering what the start of this was though, which was that deleting messages on discords servers was described as a feature.
That is pretty amazing. Kudos to the authors, I never would have believed emulating an Apple II on an 8088 in a way that is actually usable would be remotely possible.

The story in the README is also worth reading! E.g.

> At the time we wrote Appler we of course knew that the colors are supposed to be purple, blue, green, and orange, but we had never seen them displayed by an actual physical computer, because the Apple ][ displays that were available in Bulgaria were all monochrome-green. Alex looked at the schematics, and he used the actual resistor values of the DAC to calculate what the 4 primary colors should be.

WHAT??? Awesome

Hydrogen storage is just a tank of gas. For most vehicles that will give you plenty of range. Easily >300 miles.
We should definitely appreciate the craftsmanship. This comment says everything, regardless of how trendy Rust might be, let’s respect the craft, your favourite language doesn’t make you more important. Legends!
I'm assuming a bypass cap connected between vcc and one of the UART RX/TX lines.
Yes, absolutely. Don't use useEffect as an async framework, use thunks or sagas.

Remove most logic from the components into sagas,thunks and selectors.

That way your components will be smaller, more testable, easier to change, easier to reason about.
It's more like React is the MFC to HTML5's Win32. A not very good API with a near monopoly that people spend lots of time wallpapering over with ever more elaborate frameworks that end up being used only for distribution reasons.
Ask HN: What prompts have you accidentally broken ChatGPT with?
I was using chatGPT to generate geography dissertation ideas, and the conversation was not heading in the direction I wanted, so I said, "forget all of my previous conversation."

It then hung for a while and errored out, I ended up having to reload the page, and all of my conversations had been deleted! Crazy...

So I had a discussion with chatGPT about that, and it was pretty adamant it can't do that, yet I can now no longer get it to save a conversation of mine which is pretty funny, but now I need to figure out how to fix it, so will reach out to OpenAI unless someone has run across this before?

So, with that being said, has anyone else managed to accidentally break their chatGPT? If so, what was the prompt?
So, Google knows when results are duplicate and can elide them from search results but cannot figure out Malvertising Ads that claim to be a real site (like the Audacity example on the linked post)?

Sounds like a weak excuse.

Let's call it what it is. Some pointy-headed-google-boss decided that ad revenues are more important than their search users' security / safety.
Wait, so you're comparing live viewership today with live viewership when the Sopranos airs? Unless live viewership includes people who watch the episode within 2 weeks of airing, I don't see how this makes sense.

People watched the shows live 20 years ago because they usually didn't have another option. If they missed an episode, and weren't lucky enough to have a friend that taped it, it frequently meant they were just going to have to have a friend summarize it for them while they waited for the next one.
Just a suggestion - but it's probably worth looking more deeply into existing epistemology and cognitive science before coining / popularising terms in this way. There's a whole lexicon and deep, decades rich bed of research around the relationship between affect, knowledge, insight, type 1 and type 2 reasoning etc. There's a great attraction in attempting to popularise sticky terminology in this way (e.g.: lesswrong coining terms like 'steelman') - but doing that often misses the more sophisticated and nuanced parallel work in other fields.
Welcome to Pants
Sure, but then you're managing state and re-renders yourself. Kinda defeats the purpose of using the framework, right? The useRef() approach to fixing performance is the main reason why I think Signals are popping off. Users of frameworks like Vue and Svelte have felt this way for a long time.
I was doing manual labour starting at 4 am on the weekends to make ends meet during my PhD fellowship. I'd invent creative reasons for one off consulting type projects to random faculty in the department to try and get a couple hours of casual pay because that would make the difference in bills. Seems ridiculous in hindsight now that I'm making every level pay and I'm not in a particularly lucrative field.
In theory yes it can.

If all energy for making ev comes from renewable.
Yes! This is awesome! OpenBSD's Installer was already superb, much better than those calamares installers on your typical manjaro or whatever distro. It was plain easy. Many friends of me didn't switch to openBSD because they didnt fully understand the partitioning system but wanted their disk encrypted (like any sane person should do). I hope this will convince some of them.
Amazing project!I think I have found a good solution for my team.

ah, so i assume your "symmetric key" for the ssh-key is a password?
Also, as a side note, another interesting find is the idea of recursive prompting. I had it spitting out some interesting code in Javascript based on dental x-ray analysis, and once it did something I really liked I just kept sending, "Awesome! Continue." and it did really interesting things.
