I think Retool is awesome - though last time I think I didn't see a way to allow clients to have access to certain views. We have some databases we'd love to generate views for client access, but we don't need them to have full blown accounts. Is that something on the horizon?

Fair! Although I'm just reporting my preference and not making any contestable claims, other than that I can tell the difference. If someone can make an LED bulb where I can't tell the difference, then I'd fit my house with them, but it seems like this must be impossible or someone would have done it.
As a forum moderator, I have transitioned to relying heavily on AI-generated responses to users.

These responses can range from short and concise ("Friendly reminder: please ensure that all content posted adheres to our rules regarding hate speech. Let's work together to maintain a safe and inclusive community for everyone") to lengthy explanations of underlying issues.

By using AI-generated content, a small moderation team can efficiently manage a large group of users in a timely manner.

This approach is becoming increasingly common, as evidenced by the rise in AI-generated comments on popular sites such as HN, Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.

Many users are also using AI tools to fix grammar issues and add extra content to their comments, which can be tempting but may result in unintentional changes to the original message.

In fact, I myself have used this technique to edit this very comment to provide an example.

---- Original comment:

As an online forum mod, I switched to mainly using AI to generate replies to users. Some are very short ("Hey! Remember the rules.") and some are long paragraphs explaining underlying issues. Someone training on my replies would pretty much train on AI generated content without knowing. It allows a small moderation team to moderate a large group quickly. I know that I am not alone in this.

There is also a raise in AI generated comments on sites like HN, Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. It's tempting to copy-paste a comment in AI for it to fix grammar issues, which often results in extra content being added to text. In fact, I did it for this comment.
The easiest way is if the attacker is in the path between a DNS client (which could be your ISPs recursive server) and an authoritative server. But anytime there's caching, you have a risk of the wrong thing getting cached.

There's the Kaminsky attack, if your ISP's DNS server doesn't properly randomize query ids and source ports (and query case, for a few extra bits)

But you can also get unintentionally wrong information cached, if something flips a bit on the way, as DNS doesn't have end to end integrity.
Honestly, maybe you don't.

But, as a serial entrepreneur for more decades than I like to think about, I can confidently say that there is one thing that you really do need: you need access to people experienced in business, preferable a similar sort of business to yours. You need their advice.

YC can provide that, and has paved the path for it. You can also get it through many other avenues. But whether through YC or not, your business will be more likely to succeed if you can learn from what other people have already done.
Biology is truly fascinating, the ultimate hardware/software combo of proteins/genes.

It's likely parasites can alter our genetic expression and behavior today as well like rabies and toxoplasmosis(cats often have it). Rabies causing the fear of water is truly mind bending, how does it do that?!

I have thought about this a lot already and basically came to exact same conclusion with the "bubble" system.

But don't the bubbles have to tick at the same time to be 100% vanilla? They still compute their ticks independently but only "roll over" together.
Which would still increase performance extremely, don't get me wrong. But will not stop lag machines, since global mspt would be the min of all bubble mspt's. Although it would make tracking lag generation a lot easier.

This is good news. Retool-local storage was a big missing piece of the puzzle for us.

According to himself it has fallen 50% in value since he bought it. If he just wanted to salvage his investment he'd tweet once a week about about features or metrics. As it is he spends a lot of his time shitposting and making facially absurd claims.

Just started doing slightly the opposite (going from Debian to Fedora). For me, Debian keeps screwing with upstream packages in ways that introduce unintended bugs, Ubuntu is probably similar. Also really disappointed systemd 253 didn't make it into bookworm. Fedora feels closer to upstream (both version and build) without being a rolling release like Arch, and I'll get full podman support.
Honestly, I agree. I think that the American experiment is failing. The school shootings, the insane death toll from reckless driving, the drugs - people are desperate and disconnected.

I pay attention to colour temperature. Lights at home are usually lighten during evening, so it should be not more then 3000K - (for melatonin). I use mostly 2700K, tried even 2000K but that was too reddish for my taste.

Keep in mind that after sunset in nature there is only moon light that has blue spectrum. Fire, as light source is about 1700K.
To counter these anecdotes, I used python for building web apis and only needed poetry to manage 1 virtual env, and containerizing with docker was straight forward.
> A directory is a file like anything else that contains a map of names to inodes. If you're trying to add or remove mappings (create or delete files), then clearly some synchronization must occur or the contents of the file will contain garbage.

I'm one of those freaks who actually liked Unity, especially towards the end it felt like such a snappy and efficient desktop interface. The switch to GNOME killed what differentiated Ubuntu on the desktop for me.
> updates feel too infrequent

Wow, really? I think I see available updates everyday if I run dnf or open GNOME Software. I just checked right now and got the 6.2.8 kernel. I guess it wasn't available on Fedora until 28 March, after being announced by Greg Kroah-Hartman on 22 March?
Just checked out Nix. I can definitely see myself using nix-shell. Do you actually use nix-build? If so, do you like it more than working with the familiar 3P tooling (i.e. docker)?
It is also affected by the value of the work-if the work is not valuable enough for the salaries required to hire people who can do it, the job won't exist. If the business can't substitute for that role the business won't exist.
You are very lucky, 1000mg (two tablets) has absolutely no effect on my headaches. As for toothaches, I may as well suck M&M's—unlike acetaminophen, they at least taste sweet.

Unfortunately, that's how it goes for many people.

BTW, where I live, all OTC acetaminophen tablets are 500mg (and often come in packets of 100 tablets), and the usual recommended single dose is 1000mg (max 4000mg daily).

> after she was first contacted by investigators, she carried out an elaborate attempt to frame her housekeeper

Not only that, but she continued to make purchases! For all the dumb things she did prior to that contact (using her own addresses and a phone that's trivially associated with her), continuing to make buys while you know damn well you're being watched is just breathtakingly stupid. I don't get it.
Few people want to wear shit on their face to play a videogame.

Yes, I know you may, but you are not typical.

The vast, overwhelming, majority of people do not want to wear shit on their face to play video games. Or watch movies. Or work.

Marketing or curiosity may convince them that they do, so they buy a Quest 2, play Beat Saber for a couple of hours, and then put it in a drawer and forget about it.
Yeah. In the past some companies were doing it every month or so, sometimes on Fridays at 16:00... and I attended only once. Somehow I thought they were doing it at such times because "it's Friday! Let's relax and stop working at 16!". There are better ways to spend the Friday afternoon.

In other companies they were doing the All Hands on normal office hours. I usually like it because I can listen (camera off) without participating, so, maybe I can do it from the sofa, or while eating something in the kitchen.

> Commercial production of BPA began in the United States in 1957 and then in Europe a year later

A quote from the article you posted. This suggests that older people born before 1957 should have different properties compared to people born after that year, especially if you are alleging that babies are especially sensitive to this plastic.

I know my Grandma is older than 1957. There's probably plenty of people who can participate in such a study of the anti-BPA crowd cared.

I recently bought EcoSmart bulbs from Home Depot (they're a HD brand) that have a color temperature selector on the side (2700k to 5000k). But it also has an option called DuoBright, which will change the temperature in response to the standard cheap Lutron Diva dimmer I have.

It works *perfectly*! I can max the dimmer and it's bright white daylight, or I can dim it down to a very dim 2000k. There's no buzzing, no weird high-temp/low-light weirdness. It works magically. And it's the cheap option!

I replaced all BR30 & BR40 bulbs with it. I wish it came in more shapes! I'd replace every lightbulb in the house with them. I paid $5-$13 per bulb.

No one seems to know about them, not even the guy at Home Depot who worked in the aisle. He was surprised how much I raved about them.

That's like saying that my front door isn't shut because the doors to rooms inside are open. When people say 'API' they mean the public-facing endpoints, not the internal ones that are only accessible to Twitter's developers.
I'm not arguing that. But, now that we are hooking up LLMs to the internet, and they are actively hitting various endpoints, something somewhere is eventually going to go haywire and people will be affected somehow. Or it will be deployed against an oppressed class and contribute physically to their misery.

China's monstrous social credit thing might already be that.

Yeah, not to mention that good guys far number bad guys and we can develop a good AGI to pre-detect bad ones and destroy.

Even with AGIs, there is still power in numbers. We still understand how all the mechanical things work. The first attempts of AGIs will be botched anyway.

It's not the AGI will secretly plan for years hiding itself and suddenly launch one final attack.
While my led bulbs last much longer Incandescent, and end probably save money and energy, they consistently fail very long before their stated lifetime.

I believe this is due to the poor quality of the electronics that comprise the base of the bulb and control the LEDs. The same issue with compact fluorescent bulbs I had opened up some of those cf. bulbs when they burned out prematurely and found burnt ou components.

I haven’t bothered to do this with LED bulbs because I have every reason to assume they’re the same manufactures that need the CF bulbs and are making the LED bulbs are pulling the same trick.

It was a race to the bottom to make the cheapest bulb stand compete on price may have resulted in bulbs that are far more faulty than they need to be.
It's certainly not sufficient and experiencing that in practice is painful and sucks.
Meteosource learns from historical data and forecasts from many different models (including those from NOAA), compares the data from different places and meteorological situations, and based on this machine learning creates a single output that minimises individual models' biases and local inaccuracies.

Hi HN! I’m the lead engineer on Retool Database.

Spreadsheets are often used as “poor man’s databases”—they’re quick to get started, but fall apart when you need data integrity, validation, and the ability to query/filter data.

This is why I am so excited about this launch - Retool Database gives you the power of Postgres with the “getting started” speed of a spreadsheet. No setup required.

We've also spent a lot of time on the UI for interacting with the database as well. You can create and edit tables, columns, and rows quickly without writing SQL. You should be able to get the same speed of iteration as spreadsheets, but you are also starting from the get-go that can handle the increasing complexity of your data and scale much better with app development.

We’re giving you 5GB free storage for the first year + connection strings so you can access your data outside Retool.

Lots of learnings as we built this—happy to answer any question you have!

The YC model is.. it's own thing.. seems like in the current economy, they need every company to be a potential unicorn, which works out for them because they're doing it at scale, and the ones that deliver, deliver outsized returns.

But possibly doesn't work out as well for the founders, because the 9/10 that don't deliver, are forced to run their company into the ground chasing a moonshot vs. a sustainable lifestyle business, and don't get to reap the rewards they might get from the latter business model
