Hey there. It's my site but I haven't had time to do anything with it for a long time

Hoping to find sometime the next few months though.

Always appreciate any (constructive) feedback or suggestions on what users would like to see :)
A minute or two.

You can ask it to summarize things if you like. It sometimes forgets to do so, however.
BTC is just wallets, DeFi here refers to more complicated instruments.
Show HN: Open-source CMS self-managed on serverless Cloudflare
There has been general hate towards self taught and code bootcamp grads. Some are in the field only for the money, but many others simply lacked the resources to attend a 4 year university.

When you openly state that you dislike these types of programmers, and want to essentially purge them? Hopefully AI destroys your specific job and you can’t find work again.
Feature flag systems should have the following features:

- Ability in code to set the default value in non-production environments such that if a developer never set the flag, it assumes this default value. When a feature is fully released the default should be "on for everyone", generally with the expectation it will be retired soon.

- A required field designating an owner usually a team, but can be a person if your company is small enough

- A field in the flag definition for an expected retirement date

The defaults keep combinatorial explosion down and the other practices make it easy for one responsible person to audit flags and track down responsible parties.
Also effective: nuking the <head> section in dev tools.

I’m sorry, but that’s not how you provide a source. If you make a strong claim you should either prove it yourself or point to someone who does. You did neither.
>Never heard about button sequences being a possibility! does that mean the menus were tracking the sequence of keys inputted or you structured menus in a way that allowed sequences to work (e.g. tons of spots at the end of a menu that all just overlap so the user doesn't notice)?

this is exactly how it worked. a bunch of buttons stacked on top of each other so that if you didn't get the sequence correct, the enter button would do the default (for each of the buttons in the sequence).
The idea that the powerful would find a way to circumvent or corrupt such a rule is a significant problem; it isn’t a fallacy.

Fallacy =/= thing I don’t like.

It's hard not to see patterns emerging honestly. TikTok ban, Coinbase and now this. Seems like the US Gov is ramping up not only attacks on Chinese proxies but anything that might threaten US dollar reserve status.

Should be interesting times.
This is a community musical instrument.
Yeah, apologies I keep meaning to add an RSS feed back in, it's on my to-do list!
You may be too deep in the community to appreciate, but younger teens have had family supervision for millennia and for good reason. Their brains are not fully formed yet.

That you can think up a problematic case doesn’t mean we throw out the concept for the other 90% of kids that benefit from involved parents. Some of the rest are suicide risks even when not being harassed. They’d benefit as well.

I personally grew up in a “lord of the flies” environment and wouldn’t recommend it. Would have been nice to have some guidance, even if not perfect.
::sobs:: zing!
Yeah I can't wait to get API access to gpt-4, it is a stepwise more capable based on the stuff I've done with chatgpt on gpt-4.

That said, even gpt-3.5 will try multiple routes to get to the same endpoint. It seems to get distracted pretty easily though.
> what keeps us from releasing more often is the maintenance burden that imposes on our customers.

You guys rock. Almost no software companies pay any attention to the fact that every new release imposes a burden on their customers, and rapid release schedules impose that burden rapidly. In a way, it's offloading some of the development burden onto your customers.

This is true for pure SaaS products as well, although to a lesser degree.

I am very happy to hear of a company that remembers this and takes it into consideration.
No, energy costs started raising before the war.

Once war started, the sanctions made sure they stayed high.
It depends. Often law enforcement investigations come with gag orders so the service provider cannot tell the customer they are under investigation.
Trump did not explicitly recommend ingesting a disinfectant like bleach. Nevertheless, his remarks led some companies and state agencies to issue warnings about ingesting disinfectants.
yes, a relative made recordings of a communal band in the past (before mobilephones were widespread for quick memories). I remember how the DVDs menus were cumbersome and so in a short stint pre-youtube-popularity I prepped a themed player with HTML5 to go alongside the video file.

Worked pretty nice (in chrome) and reminds me what we've lost...
That was probably DigitalFoundry with a Sony FW900, one of the last high-end CRT monitors. Iirc it does 120 Hz at 1920x1200, which purely in terms of latency and lack of S&H blur remains unbeatable for flat-panel displays.
Want to say that MSN headlines have appeared in Windows for a long time. Vista had an RSS reader sidebar where the defaults were set to MSN.
The TikTok ban is a betrayal of the open internet
My experience with GPT-4 has been really disappointing. It didn't feel like a step up from 3.5.

As an example, I've been trying to use it to learn Zig since the official docs are ... spartan. And I've said, "here's my code, here's the error, what's wrong with it?" and it will go completely off the rails suggesting fixes that don't do anything (or are themselves wrong).

In my case, understanding/fixing the code would have required GPT-4 to know the difference between allocating on the stack/heap and the lifetimes of pointers. It never even approached the right solution.

I haven't yet gotten it to help me in even a single instance. Every suggestion is wrong or won't compile, and it can't reason through the errors iteratively to find a fix. I'm sure this has to do with a small sample of Zig code in its training set, but I reckon an expert C coder could have spotted the bug instantly.
It’s funny you’re using “blue collar” to mean low skilled probably things like retail cashiers, but folks in trades actually make very livable wages in the US.

Here’s a recent article from the seattle times: https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/as-tech-job...
>General anaesthesia and the idea you are actually awake but forget.

This freaked me out as well. Wouldn't I know in the moment? Do we actually experience something if we don't encode memories for it?
Well, the title says "tube", which would be enough of a hint for most people, I think.
People are forgetting that Binance is not a US company nor a bank
It’s open enough that a poor person working freelance for $5 per hour on the other side of the world can use it for free to enhance their work.

Sure you can bleat on and on that it’s not GPL blah blah.

But I see some VA’s who have English as a third language step up their game and be able to be more efficient?

They don’t have to pay a cent. Just have an internet connection and an e-mail address and they are on the same playing field as you.

That’s open enough for me. And for the vast number of people outside the HN ivory tower.
Is this confirmed that it's really launching in July, do you have a source?
> Pretty sure the person who wrote the trashy Harlequin novel in your example has to grind pretty hard to earn enough to buy their, let's say, diabetic medication.

So does the plumber. Why are they not being paid per flush of your toilet? The advance on a trashy romance novel is likely more than a plumber charges.

As to speaking for artists, I'm speaking as a member of society. The expectation you create some piece of "art" and make money for the rest of your natural life is ridiculous. Copyrights lasting as long as patents gives an artist plenty of time to monetize their work. It then becomes public domain to serve the public that gave them that monopoly in the first place.

Billions of dollars changed hands every year due to patent licensing. If two decades wasn't enough time to monetize something that wouldn't happen.

The length of copyright protections in the US are ludicrous. It's especially egregious as the company that's done the most to extend copyrights, Disney, made their fortune absolutely pillaging public domain fairy tales. Thousands of pop songs have been riffing Johann Pachelbel for nearly a century.

There's a lot of drawing from the public domain and not nearly enough replenishment.
Not entirely sure how you got that impression from the article.
I watched the video and saw 7.5 seconds compared to the older 15 seconds and was surprised that they are presumably proud of this?? Do they have no shame or do they simply do not know better? I worked on a data intensive app with 2D/3D graphics that launches in fractions of a second. All teams needs to do is primarily show some images & text.

Of all the companies that exist out there, Microsoft definitely has the resources to make full native apps for all the platforms they want Teams to run on.
I feel off my chair laughing at this coz this is true as well
> I would love a world where users upload the multiple quality levels. Then anyone could run a stream service, not just those that can afford transcodes.

I believe both AV1 and HEVC/h.265 specify optional Scalable Video Coding, although I don't know if that's a common feature of encoders or if this integration supports it. If the stars align, it's straightforward to choose parts of the stream to throw away to fit into available bandwidth or decode capacity without transcoding. Of course, decoder support is also needed.

The road to hell, these days, is often paved with marketing OKRs.
Not, however, if the Duke of Gloucester Variant is in play, which is popular in the shires. Though, naturally, standard Sudbury-type openings are discouraged in that case, unless one is trying for a Wembley Roundabout.
How many compilers, operating systems, and databases have you written?

I make 6 figures, never took any of these classes (though I did write my own OS, and compiler). Why do you want people to waste time and money? Perhaps it’s time to split out those classes into some degree that’s more relevant to that work?
The total number of 486s sold is incredibly dwarfed by the the absolute huge numbers of Pentiums after Windows 95. It grew the market just astronomically.
As someone who used office communicator back in 2006/2007 time period, it felt more snappy and consistent than anything that came afterwards. It was simple and basic as hell, but didn't have all the quirks.

That’s what open meant from what I understood, that the models would be open for use and not just for improving google search or better ads. OpenAI could have tried to become a B2B and not reveal anything about their tech, and simply have sold low code tools or something

To Canonical's credit, minimal Ubuntu is pretty small, unfortunately it bloats quickly when you start installing packages for dependencies. Minimal Ubuntu clocks in around 30MB, comparable Alpine images are around 5MB, both are significantly smaller than a typical distro installation. Packaged our software on Ubuntu takes 400MB and around 45MB on Alpine, so the base image for minimal Ubuntu is 6x larger than Alpine and the packaged image is nearly 10x larger than Alpine.
Maybe they could have added multiple accounts + switching support?
Shout out? You involved in SFBook.com?
> No, in democratic societies you have the rule of law.

Democracy and legalism are orthogonal concepts, though both tend to be (rhetorically, if not always as much practically) ideals of liberal government.
I completely agree with what you're saying here and wonder every day why Nim hasn't taken over the world. People seem not to realize that Nim not only has a "pluggable" gc system (so you can pick the gc that makes sense for your use case), but also allows you to turn the gc off. As in, no gc (which is exactly what you need in certain very narrow situations).
So it depends on the wavelength, but no, perfect reflection does not happen.

Further, as an IOT engineer, I can tell you we do not currently have enough data to be sure

I’m getting downvoted by people who probably aren’t even in the signals field lol…

Remember just 70 years ago when “lobotomies were sound science and totally safe”
For performance reasons, you might not want to wait for promises to resolve in your load function, though. My app got way faster once I switched to streaming promises.
> I wish I could join an on prem team to learn all those small details slowly and painfully.

Learning "from the middle" of a tech stack outwards is the default case for everyone, so don't be so hard on yourself. There is no "from scratch", never was even in the Bombe days, just a question of how many abstraction layers you want to tackle. Give yourself time to learn and plenty of room to fail and try again, and "all those small details" will ingrain themselves into you as second nature.
If they need to work so hard to keep people in the system, it should be a good indicator of the state of affairs.
They are still so tasteless it's insane
vscode launches very fast for me and is in general quite snappy
Still whitelisted atm.
Which is pathetic considering that every other app on an M1 loads in a second (or less).
You’re trolling, right? Right?!

My shitty Toyota Corolla can bring a metric ton of metal and composites to a velocity of 100kmph in less time than it takes Teams to launch… in their own promo video?!

Sorry for the histrionics but the reality of how far we’ve fallen just slapped me in the face

Well, if they wanted to stick to the letter of the law, they'd immediately stop selling unregistered securities. It's not like it's difficult to register a security with the SEC.
Looking forward to the improvements to Teams, just so that it'll put more pressure on Slack both on the business front and technical front.

Slack has been slacking (pun intended) on performance for a long time now, I'm honestly not sure what exactly it is that they're working on but nothing that I use daily is improved.
That's not the definition of open. Nobody is saying the tech is not useful. Of course is useful ! but is not open as the boast.
In SF last I checked

Copying big files onto a 120GB SSD is a fringe use case, unless it's an external SSD you're using to transport those files. Editing and organizing large videos is usually done on drives large enough to hold more than two of them (plus the OS and applications).
generally the limit here is windows/antivirus making your storage a ton slower. Linux/Mac don't have this problem nearly as bad.
I guess "cheap" is relative. $20/mo doesn't register as cheap to me at all, generally speaking. Whether or not it's worth the money is a different question entirely.
To be fair, with Moore's law cranking away at full tilt at ~300nm nodes, those 250nm chips were probably cheaper for them too.
The 8TB 7200 RPM Toshiba drive has decent sustained write performance. But if the author had tested a cheaper hard disk, such as a 8TB Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) Seagate drive, they'd have seen sustained writes even worse than the cheapest SSDs.
In aviation, VOR stations broadcast their identifier in morse (so you can confirm it's the right station) but VOR is being killed off in favor of GPS.
>Here was a creepy popup I got one day - it slid down from directly top-center of screen and gave me a notification asking my to uncover my webcam.

I'm guessing that was probably Windows Hello attempting to use your camera for face recognition.
I'm curious — as someone who's had a hard time with Notes' maybe... lack of features and less-than-friendly formatting IMHO (no Markdown, unconventional keyboard shortcuts, layout formatting quirks...) — what about Apple Notes appeals to you more than other popular tools?

Always been on some restaurant menus whereever in the country I have lived and been able to find it in the small specialty frozen meat sections many grocery stores have.
The more unpleasant you make public service, the more you filter and select for people who want to use that power for evil ends and self-dealing. This is the same backwards thinking that causes people to want to cut legislative salaries, not understanding that this just makes it so the only people who can run for office are millionaires who can live off their accumulated wealth.
What's the alternative? The joke that is macOS?

I use Linux daily, but its not ready for everyone, creative apps for example are nonexistent, And games aren't exactly plug and play.

In addition to not having a distro that combines gnome + zero hassle driver installs + friendly defaults, it was Ubuntu till they ruined it with snap, and now there is still nothing like it.

I just hope canonical gives up on snap.
> General anaesthesia and the idea you are actually awake but forget

Do you mean that this happens for some people? For me, GA felt like a very deep dream where I didn't notice falling asleep but I definitely remember what I dreamed.
> Who/what is dumping money into Bitcoin that would cause this much demand?

As usual, there's no way to tell if the demand is synthetic, or anything other than invented stablecoins and fake volume, because the entire market is deliberately opaque.
It comes down to power supply and distance, you could, but you would probably need numerous sensors and would probably be better off with a longer wave and bigger power source

The complaint doesn't claim it's illegal in and of itself, but it supports the idea that Binance more generally saw US law enforcement efforts as an annoyance to be circumvented. These kind of complaints typically try to tell a good story and not just state the unlawful activity.
Who gets to define them as unregistered securities? The SEC claimed BUSD is a security and shut it down. If stabelcoins pegged against the dollar with provable 1:1 reserves are a security then... SEC needs to be dismantled or reset.
Contrary to their preferences, when 12% of your trading volume comes from a Chicago-based trader, you are square in the realm of "governed by applicable US laws".

Design rationale for the Nickel configuration language
Regarding your points on automation - it's an inherently contradictory position. If automation didn't save time/money/labor costs, we wouldn't invest in it. Carpentry being in demand has to do with external factors, not technological factors. There was no demand for carpentry in 2009, for example.

New industries will have to spawn from generative AI for there to be a net positive. Most IT and tech jobs are lower level coding positions. This will all but eliminate these roles. SWEs especially top ones will likely be safe. But that doesn't solve the societal problem.

Regarding layoffs - we've barely touched the surface. We haven't even entered recession yet, and a financial crisis looms. Most are on hiring freeze now and just in the last 2 weeks both meta and amazon slashed additional jobs. More will be coming. The industry won't completely collapse because it's a mature industry now - FAANGs are now like Coke. Blue chip. This says nothing about its workforce though - there's nothing these companies would love more than to be able to reduce the cost of their software devs.
That is really awesome. But OP and parent talk about Microsoft Teams.
the sky isn't falling but we reaching a bunch of natural tippings points.

Arctic sea ice melt: The loss of Arctic sea ice can lead to positive feedback loops, where less ice means more solar radiation absorbed by the dark ocean, leading to more warming and more ice melt.

Greenland ice sheet melt: The melting of the Greenland ice sheet could contribute to sea level rise and ocean circulation changes, potentially disrupting global climate patterns.

West Antarctic ice sheet melt: Similar to the Greenland ice sheet, the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet could contribute to sea level rise and ocean circulation changes.

Amazon rainforest dieback: If the Amazon rainforest reaches a tipping point, it could lead to a self-sustaining cycle of forest dieback and degradation, releasing vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.

Permafrost melt: The melting of permafrost, which is frozen soil that stores vast amounts of carbon, could release large amounts of greenhouse gases, amplifying global warming.

Boreal forest dieback: Like the Amazon rainforest, the boreal forest is also at risk of reaching a tipping point that could lead to a self-sustaining cycle of forest dieback and degradation, releasing large amounts of carbon.

Lamentably, these work on Linux. Nothing else seems to excepting a few using Java (jetbrains) and libre-office and the open source big ones: Gnu Image, Krita and Blender.
I agree with that sentiment, but think you should still give them credit for making whisper open source.

Export/import is about comm/direction, it does not (technically, just as you like it) imply loss. Also, technically we're discussing a comment from a specific person here, not from "most users".

So even technically you're wrong, but more importantly, you're missing the forest for the technicality tree
