Thanks for the reply, I do think you're right. I'm also GenZ, and thinking about others does consume my mental state more than I'd like. Maybe just shutting off the content consumption for a while is a good idea.

Yea I do think I haven't found my niche yet, I tend to read about a lot of different things, and hard to focus on one thing specifically. Thanks for the advice.
Nerds like to write code, as you put it, because it's easier than the alternative. Seen from the other side, it's amazing to what lengths people will go to avoid learning some very light scripting.

Historically the 4GL/nocode/lowcode movement has been a miserable failure, and not for lack of attempts to push that idea down people's throats.
VCs funded businesses that exacerbated problems in those sectors. So this is more of a critique that VCs caused problems, not chiding them for not providing solutions.

But sure, corporate social responsibility is a concept that has long predated the current ESG trend. We once had a society that at least paid lip service to noblesse oblige.
Apparently they are limited to investing 5% of the fund's money in banks.

Turns out they used 2 of those 5% for investing in these banks.

It is not a disaster though, not even close to a disaster. And talking about banking and market economy, they most likely gained much more money from that than they lost. It just happened very quickly .
It won’t be. React had its time and is now waning. The future is frameworks with no virtual DOM that are interoperable with other JS frameworks like Svelte.
Would've loved to see a different approach to the typical refrigerant-split units. I'm EPA certified, and do my own heat pump work, but something that could really blow up the heat pump space would be a closed-loop refrigerant system that uses water lines to the indoor coil/air handler. This would make the system a true DIY self-install, since you'd never be messing with refrigerant loops.

The indoor coil/AH could be made as lightweight and small as possible (or multiple configurations) so it could easily be installed by a DIYer or a handyman for extremely low cost using insulated PEX lines for the water with basic tools. The outdoor unit would be heavy and require an electrical circuit, but would otherwise be as easy as swapping a window-unit AC.

Just like with solar, the biggest problem with adoption of heat pumps is labor cost to install. The units themselves are shockingly cheap (and continuously getting cheaper), but labor adds 3-4X the cost of the unit itself. The certification, tools, and knowledge to handle the refrigerant is the 'secret sauce' used by HVAC companies to keep prices high. Imagine how few people would have window AC units or refrigerators if they needed to be installed by an HVAC company that wanted to make $300/hr to install.

Unlike competitors like iMessage, Signal makes a good faith effort to be available on commonly used platforms. Sucks to be left out. But if I send a message on Signal, I expect the receiving end to uphold some guarantees, such as that it won't be backed up in an unencrypted form on the other side. To me that is by some margin more important than any of the considerations raised in that post.

I am a parent of a toddler and he’s only on Apple Photos, my wife and I don’t use social media.

That said, I expect to be downvoted into oblivion.

> anonymity is one of the best gifts I can give them

I don’t know, I mean a lot of parents tell themselves they are doing a lot of things, me included, that they have no control over in reality.

I sympathize with the parents who try to turn their kids into celebs. We made this celebs-rule world.

For every one person, kids or adults, who feels exposed online, there are 99,999 more toiling away in obscurity.

On this forum probably the children are going to be fine. Their parents are rich enough that even if you are not a nepo baby in the strictest sense of having a famous last name, they will be fine. They can do whatever and they will be fine.

If you’re some random person, obscurity is crushing. If you’re not a nepo baby and you have no above average cognitive gifts, which is 80% of people, getting some attention can change your life.

Most people have the level of drama, the stupidity, the vapidity of influencers. You just didn’t know that until TikTok. TikTok doesn’t cause this, it doesn’t even exacerbate it.

And social media DOES benefit them, it IS rational. It’s the textbook definition of elitism to tell people who found a little fame and like it that they aren’t like the smart kids or true blue nepo babies, who can be offline and still thrive in this world.

Parts & Service documentation means more than software

The nerds can always reverse engineer practical controls. As a systems integrator, your job is providing access to comprehensive service information and long-term, easy access to parts. This is harder than it seems because of the necessary infrastructure and product management control. (Engineers are always tweaking something)

Of course, then you have to withstand the inevitable liability risk and lawsuits from idiots improperly installing capital goods in their homes. Let's be honest, there are people out there struggling to fasten their airplane lap belt...

There are millions of people that genuinely reject the idea they suffer from normal cognitive biases, or that they can be fooled, and that's a huge part of their worldview, that they are "smarter" than other people because they aren't affected by those pesky "biases". So whatever they "experience" must be ground truth. So if they think the song sounds better under C++, it doesn't matter what "the experts" say, they must be wrong.

From the research article:

> Catalytic H2 production by NB-2Ni was demonstrated using a photochemical assay with an organic dye (EosinY) as a photosensitizer and triethanolamine (TEOA) as a sacrificial electron donor irradiated at 540 nm (15).

IIUC the main reaction is

2 H+ + TEOA + light --> H2 + ???

so they store the energy of the light in the H2, and assume that the cell already know how to use the H2.

The TEOA is slightly oxidized to ???. It has a few alcohol groups that are good candidates to be transformed.

The reaction also uses a dye, that is probably responsible to capture the light initially, and then transfer the energy to the enzyme.

It's also interesting because it's very small, only 13 amino acids. Many modern proteins have hundreds of amino acids that makes a brute force search approach to find them very difficult, but with 13 the search space is only ~ 20^13.
It could be JPY ;)

I'm not questioning if they are viable, I'm questioning the blanket claims and the direct comparison. What kind of furnace? Natural gas? Oil? A heat pump in Maine is not going to be 3-5x more cost effective than a natural gas furnace in Maine. In fact, it's currently more expensive than natural gas, and at parity with oil furnaces. https://www.maine.gov/energy/heating-fuel-prices

Today it would be impossible. But also much other things in media. Like the first James Bond Casino Royale (1967). There is a scene in a tube with Bond and a younger than 18 years old girl in a tube. Or a in the movie Kickboxer (1988) with Van Damme. There is a scene when they are on a boat on a river in Thailand. You can see at least one young boy complete nude from frontside. Another scene later in the hospital. The brother just grop the butt from the nurse and everybody is laughing. To watch it today feels very strange.

I’ve got a schiit stack for my 400i’s (apparently they are designed to be drive-able by mobile amps but it is definitely right at the edge of what my desktop could do).

It is hard to say how much is placebo. I definitely see how having a “plugging stuff in” ritual could get you in a different headspace. But FWIW, I ended up having the 400i setup in another room that I wasn’t able to use every day, just because of the vagaries of pandemic era “adjust the apartment for multiple people working from home” stuff. One of my strongest “oh this sounds better” moments came from realizing I’d gone through a couple room changes and (without thinking of it) been sitting next to the 400i’s, all plugged in and ready to go, for a while and just using the Sennheisers without thinking, hahaha. So there was not much ritual in that case. Could have still been influenced by placebo or some sort of pseudo-nostalgia thing, though.

IEMs are even stranger, right? I had them mixed up with earbuds for a long time and assumed they were all just junk, but of course they can get really good sound quality by virtue of their position. Don’t need to push a big diaphragm if you are right up there in the ear canal!

Ask HN: Should I hire a CTO or two founding engineers?
Hi HN - I'm a nontechnical founder currently building a marketplace, am getting early customer validation talking to users, and have capital committed ahead of our first round of funding from Angels.

Have solo founders in similar situations approached derisking their company by hiring 1 early CTO or finding 2 founding engineers?

I'm leaning towards CTO but want to double-check for feedback here. Part of the reason I'm looking to add to the technical side now is to build the initial version of the product beyond the spreadsheets I have and make us more likely to get into YC.

Regardless we'll keep burn low so it's enough cash for this person to meet minimum living needs and more upside play with equity until we hit milestones for the next round and then can raise cash comp.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
> Ventura is a 150 year old city where 100k people live. I know this is HN, but can we not let mega-companies capture names like this?

Ventura is 5 different cities, two different municipalities, hundreds of people, a racehorse, at least one freeway, two planes, a ship, a car, a bus company, a guitar brand (defunct), an engine, a film festival, a design show, three albums, two songs, and two bands. And an OS codename. The exclusivity you're claiming never existed, and the name capture either doesn't either, or is a long-done deal.

Hell, the name of the city you're talking about isn't even Ventura, it's San Buenaventura.
Silicon Valley Bank: What experts think of US regulators response to the fallout
Look. If I just made the .1+.2 example in passing by as how code doesn't always behave like we expect, does that mean I'm claiming we even use addition to work with sound? If everyone misunderstands a claim I haven't made, and asks me to explain that claim, how exactly do I respond?

It was an example I don't know how audio works and don't claim I do. But I do know moving bits doesn't always end up the way we expect, and different functions has different outcomes.

I shouldn't have to explain sort and sort-reverse has different outcomes, it's implied and not my point. All I'm saying is don't call people without domain knowledge idiots when they're on the right track, kind of. The rest are strawman arguments I'm supposed to explain. I'll give you an example:

> ME: 1s and 0s in the same order are the same, but some data may be lost in the transfer

> Poster: Please explain? If the 1s and 0s are still in the same order, what data has been lost?

What I say: 2 files 1010 and 1010 are the same at start, but might be 0101 at the destination. How is irrelevant, there are a million ways.

What I'm asked to explain: If 1010 is 1010 at destination, how are they different.

Then I mentioned transfer, oh-oh. Now we're going into transport protocols and not just moving bits no matter the means. Incredibly frustrating and ironic given the context. I see the misunderstandings, I just can't seem to explain it. It's not hand-waving I just don't get why I have to explain things I never claimed.

You're insinuating that doing the work yourself means you'll have poor air quality, poor thermostat integration etc. That's not true at all. If you've gone to the trouble to do a DIY install then you're now already experienced enough to install a heat-recovery ventilator to get fresh air into your home via an independent system. I installed my own ecobee thermostat with my heat pump and electric furnace and it works with HomeKit so is integrated with my entire ecosystem.
I mean, that's worse. The depositors at SVB are being made whole, the shareholders are getting wiped out.

I don't think the captcha algorithm only wants to verify you can complete it accurately either. There are times where it seems like Google's captcha, and now CloudFlare also, have predetermined that you are a bot and they will make you complete challenges indefinitely to no avail. What's the point of a captcha if they are using some other metric anyway? Mobile nets, Tor, and proxies are pretty much unusable in certain places now.
> If we can't get models not to say racist or otherwise terrible things, we can't make any guarantees about our ability to control or guide some future AGI.

This is a very bold assumption that the current LLMs function and "think" in the same way some future AGI would. They do not even reason, just make up words that fit some context - thus they "hallucinate".

There is no reason the approach taken here by injecting some bias or word filtering would apply to the real thing. And AI safety and aligment is not (at least it was not until getting hijacked) and was not about some model saying mean words but something really threatening like the paperclip maker problem - an agent choosing a path to a goal which is not aligned with what humans find acceptable (e.g. solving world hunger by killing everyone)
That doesn't seem consistent with e.g. the National Merit Scholarship program, where the scholarship funding can be used towards an undergraduate course at any accredited school.
Because HVAC in theory should outlive most other standards that have come and gone.

The problem with SQL is it is based on relational algebra, just not consistently.

SQL allows you to insert a duplicate row or update a row such that it becomes similar to another row. But then it is not possible to delete or change the row again without changing or deleting all the duplicates, because the query language assumes rows are unique. This is obviously a footgun and not useful behavior.
