"You, the founders, should only build a product and talk to customers; everything else is superfluous and a waste of time."

I found it interesting that this seems to be described as bad advice that boxes founders in.

"Hiring is waste of time, paid advertising is waste of time, content is waste of time, talking to investors is waste of time, getting media coverage is waste of time."

The above all seem to be like a waste of time—but the OP is claiming otherwise. Perhaps this speaks to some YC companies being more mature than they used to be when they enter a cohort?
What numbers do you expect to see for flicker?
How did you come about being "fairly positive" that GPT-4 is trained on other AI conversations?
As a YC alum, of all the emails i get spammed with, I'll give YC founders are read and a reply. More often than not it's a "sorry can't help" but I will at least give it a look.
Well, most available weather APIs just download data from NOAA and "repackage" them to JSON format and do not add much value.
One user is a patron. A million users is a metric.

I don't want companies with lots of customers to senselessly fake some sort of meaningful relationship. I hate when companies do that. No, I'm not here because we're pals and you make me feel like a regular barfly and know my name. I'm here because you sell something I want to buy and you want my money.

I have a sense that I would completely despise whatever it is that Churnkey is peddling to businesses.
If you have an app that sends out one tweet a minute, that strikes me as a bit more than a hobby.
I remember the most frustrating usually was coming in extra early so I can get some deep work done and suddenly the whole open office space fills up. People are laughing and trying to get your opinion on the latest Netflix show or worse, something actually interesting.

In-person interaction can be fun and is important for team bonding and meta work communication but it would be so much better to facilitate that explicitly, outside of the work space.

Optimally this would mean 95% remote plus cool getaways together (at minimum, actually fun evenings out).

It’s like with conferences, the most important learning usually happens outside of the premises.

Why not be smart about that fact?
It's not so ridiculous. Before I had enough work experience to have a job in my local city, I commuted 45 miles/1hr one-way to the next city that actually had tech companies. That was 2 hours commuting total, for 3 years. My roommate climbs cell phone towers. His company is located about 45 minutes to an hour away. Granted, though, he usually only makes the commute once per day then is on the road traveling the rest of the week. Living in the middle of nowhere sucks.
My personal take is that it's more of a service (ie Software-as-a-Service). So, you use the service for what you need then stop when you don't need it anymore. That's not rejection that's not needing that service anymore. Say for example, that I have car insurance. I sell my car and cancel the insurance. Does that mean I'm rejecting the insurance company. No, I just don't need that service anymore.

As this stuff scales you need for think of churn as a cohort and start looking at why. I don't argue that. But, framing it as rejection is incorrect. Guess it depends on the service you're providing though. If it's something highly personal where you, the person are highly involved, then it might be rejection. But, I think that's pretty niche.
By that logic, it's well past time to open source Windows, Office and the Adobe Creative Suite.

I'm trying to read this charitably but that convenience of a small binary is perhaps the sort of USP you're paying for in a $99 text editor.

Sometimes we can't have the moon on a stick. And that's okay.
> Documents obtained by WIRED confirm that Good Smile, which licenses toy production for Disney, was an investor in the controversial image board.

Why is the article presenting this as some sort of scoop? It's been publicly known for a while that Good Smile owns 4chan. The Hollywood Reporter [0] reported on it in 2021, and even Wired themselves [1] in 2022.

why? who uses twitter?? seriously. the best thing that happened was I don't go there nearly as much now....and didn't really before either. but less links and none of the previews keep me off the site.
Yeah ~10 years of LED bulbs and I've never replaced one. I've moved multiple times and brought my bulbs with me. Used to have a drawer with a bunch of incandescent ones ready to go because it was a regular occurrence.

Ask HN: Would you switch from full time to part time if you could?
You'd have to take a 50% pay cut for going from ~40 hrs/wk to ~20 hrs/wk, and you can discuss whether you would need to be able to keep your health benefits or not, etc.

I think there are plenty of pluses and minuses on various levels, but I'm mostly curious if _you_ would do this right now, if you were benevolent dictator of your own life, and someone asks this question to you today, and you have 24 hours to make a decision.

Thanks.
It's like a standard library except it's harder to search for the symbol you want via autocomplete, harder to infer the meaning of symbols you don't know (even when the C standard library has some terrible names) and easier to confuse (from the page, having symbols like ,. and .. or ,: and .:).

Of course, I assume that people end up knowing most of them and that not all of them are necessary. I'm not arguing that, I'm saying that symbols are an extra cognitive load and I find it funny that the argument for them is "well this is how is done in math" when precisely there's a push in math to avoid using excessive symbols.
What do you mean by "get to grid"? Have people come back around to the idea that tables weren't so bad?

I enjoyed web development quite a lot in the '90s, but after CSS came along it was an endless source of frustration, and I gave up on it all.
The point that I hear is that conservationists focus on things that people broadly don’t care about. “The planet”, “The environment”, “who cares, I’ve got my Starbucks and my cozy house, and I don’t even like hiking.”

His point is that people don’t care about those things, but they do care about themselves. Focus on how people will be individually impacted.
>It's been widely reported on the internet that Apple salespeople are not on commission, which is what makes the OP's story so curious.

It has also been widely reported that Apple invented USB-C and gave away for free, and All AirPod were sold at cost or at lost.

The No commission thing were from Steve Jobs era for pete sake. How long ago was that?

Depending on regions all Apple retail employees have KPIs. And we are coming close to 10 years since it’s first introduction.
It could very well be more of a US problem. In the bulbs that I've torn down, they all have used a capacitive dropper power supply, and it's usually been the capacitor that failed.

I have had lamps that lived long enough to see LED failures (the "black dot of death") but that's not the most usual failure mode that I've personally encountered.

I've been considering following in the footsteps of Big Clive and modifying new LED bulbs to stop them from overdriving the LEDs, but my interest in doing that hasn't yet overcome my inherent laziness.
Consider editing the docs to state that telemetry is not enabled by default; I'm more interested in software that respects privacy and adding that to the docs would be a positive for me.

https://gut-cli.dev/docs#9351504d-284d-4e59-81a1-465835682b3...

Additionally, consider removing telemetry data after a period of time for added privacy.
I am not aware of such a comparison, but I hope this quote will encourage you to have a serious look at APL:

> i don't know one week of studying some APL i could just visualize how I would do that and I would just run and no error every time. Like one week of study APL did more for my expertise, you know, by then more than one year coding in JAX and NumPy.

If there's a party which has intentionally conflated scraping web content in general with scraping it to build a direct competitor to the original sources, that party is Google.

Yes, this latest instance with OpenAI outputs is shady, but I think it's in the same spirit as scraping news organizations for content which journalists were paid to write, and then showing portions of it directly in response to queries so people don't go directly to the news organization's pages, and it's in the same spirit as showing answers to query-questions that are excerpts from scraped pages which another organization paid to produce.

I think devs are often prone to misjudging that though. Especially when there's a power imbalance. A senior or staff engineer talking to a junior or mid-level ALWAYS needs to be cognizant of the effect your actions and words have on other people.

"after we've gotten to know"

In my experience, once you've built solid rapport, you generally can always be less direct.

"hey man did you just deploy xyz? I noticed there's some weird error prints, wanted to make sure you saw"

"yeah thanks, just saw them a minute ago, already on it"

There's no need to be highly structured or direct, just a small nudge/hint/check, and they know you have their best interests at heart and aren't upset or annoyed.
As far as I can see this doesn't even show you the CRI just that its 90+ with limited reviews.
Thankfully, LED lighting will probably be gone within 20 years, while incandescent will be coming back more efficient than LED could dream. Already bumping up against theoretical maximum efficiency, LED lighting can't get any more efficient, and the better LED is at color rendition, the less efficient it is. But there are vast amounts of improvement available for incandescent lighting, and a group at MIT has already created incandescent light that is twice as efficient as LED.[1]

The article starts off with what I believe is a faulty premise, that churn "is" rejection. Trying something new is such a deeply ingrained part of our DNA that there willl always be a segment of your users and staff who do so regardless of all of your attempts to prevent it. It isn't rejection so much as standard human behavior. Also, I thing "rejection" is far more inflammatory than "churn".
Yeah, it's not as easy as if they were mounted on a normal PCB, but it's not really all that bad (using hot air, anyway).
Sticking to HTTP enables transparent caching. So it's not that MacOS/iOS try to connect to anything on the local network, they just connect directly to Apple via HTTP which allows the local network to hijack the connection and serve a locally cached copy instead. This kind of thing is more common than you might think on corporate and institutional networks because it can produce appreciable savings in bandwidth to the internet. Squid is a very common open-source solution for transparent forward proxy, but there are commercial products that are more common.

This kind of "friendly MITM" is sort of the baby that goes out with the bathwater on mandatory HTTPS, although I am personally of the opinion that it's not a big enough deal to block mandatory HTTPS---but there is debate there.
If you're like me, you might've missed that they have a semi-hidden "Personal Pro" that supports 100 devices, 2 subnet routers, and custom auth periods for $48 per year.
Some people seem to have different memories than I do of what it was like buying lightbulbs before LEDs came out. I remember incandescents also having a variety of color quality, lifespan, and decorative options. I remember having the choice between bargain bin bulbs and luxurious options, making sure to outfit a room with a single brand so everything looked the same, realizing it's more difficult to read with this one or that, keeping receipts in the box in case they don't live up to the "double life" (2000 hours!) branding, the annoyance of having a regular bulb in a 3-way lamp, or a faulty circuit causing lights to flicker, not to mention the fire hazard of having something too close to an exposed bulb.

Things are not so different now. As it was then, we still have crappy products with too little information and too much marketing. Having CRI ratings on the box is a good change (a spectrogram would have been nice though), I think it cuts down the trial and error it takes to find something suitable. What I don't like are all the built-in specialty lighting sources. More and more we're seeing fixtures with custom LED panels instead of sockets, which often means more expensive trial-and-error when it turns out that expensive "dimmable" ceiling light is doing PWM at 60 Hz, or when it dies one year out of warranty and you have to change the entire decorative housing instead of just replacing a bulb. The good news is that it's easier than ever to ask strangers what worked for them, and it's still less expensive to find and buy high quality LED bulbs than it is to use incandescents.
Copilot for Xcode
To be fair you can do that in a 172 as well (but it's obviously not negative ground speed). My CFI took me up on a particularly windy day so we could fly 3kts backwards.
US here. Light quality in my house went up noticeably when I switched to LEDs about a decade ago, probably due to having way more/better options for color temperature. Haven't had to replace a bulb since. I have zero clue what the author is talking about.
That's an interesting analysis. The issue isn't really whether the A.I. has creative ability, though, if we're talking about whether it infringes copyright. I think comparing the A.I. to a really simple bot is informative.

If I wrote a novel that contained once sentence from 1,000 people's novels, it would probably be fair use since I hardly took anything from any individual person and because my novel is probably not harming those other writers.

If I wrote a bot that did the same thing, same result, because my bot uses only a little from everyone's novel and doesn't harm the original novelist, so it's likely fair use.

Now I think a J.K. Rowling A.I. probably takes at least a little from her when it produces output, but it's not clear to me how much is actually based on J.K. Rowling and how much is a dataset of how words tend to be associated with other words. You could design a J.K. Rowling A.I. that uses nothing from J.K. Rowling, just data that is said to be J.K. Rowling-esque.
Police most often serves the capital owners through the politicians funded by capital owners. The farmers protest in India was a good example of this. Police tried to barricade, beat up the farmers who were protesting a law that would’ve benefited the agro companies and put small farmers on a weak position.
We could not give up nukes, we could not band together to stop contributing to climate change, heck, we could not even enact basic mitigation measures to quash the pandemic.

> we recommend that you migrate to the new tiers as soon as possible for a smooth transition

Considering I've been waiting for v2 approval since, IIRC, March 2021, I'm not holding out much hope they'll sort out v2 access for the 4 accounts I use in the next 30 days. I guess I'll just tweet out that the bots are going dark because of this and point to the mastodon versions...
A basic tier for "students learning code" starting at $100 a month? Delusional
A hypothetical guy works at a hypothetical startup that publishes a lot of blog posts, and he's not the greatest writer, so he uses a hypothetical service that does AI-based editing for him. He loves the service and recommends it to everyone. The startup folds and he goes to work at a different company and that company has a professional copy editor on the payroll so he doesn't need to use the service anymore.

He's churned, but he hasn't rejected the service. He just doesn't need it anymore because his circumstances have changed. If he needs the service it offered, he could presumably re-subscribe to it later.

This is something we'll need to figure out since we don't have specifics on how the image is fed into the model. An example (very basic) use case we thought of is maybe a database of apartment listings & photos, and being able to ask "Do apartments on 4th street have a lot of natural light?"

So what? Beautiful objects were often made for rich people. In what sense does that invalidate their aesthetic qualities rather than confirm them? Average people famously have little sense of beauty. Average people don't make art.
Whether or not using them is a good idea depends on what you're using them for. I tend to use them for projects where none of that really matters.

LEDs are indeed extremely cheap, but for me, the benefit is reducing the amount of electronic waste I produce, not cost-savings.

I don't think you're going to convince me to re-reifiy the concepts of Apple and TikTok.

Once a concept is de-reified the magic gets sucked out of it. If anything understanding enough about the process of reification to de-reify the concept has a much greater chance of de-reifying the concept in your own mind than it does re-reifying it in mine.

Saying repeatedly that something is real to someone for which the concept is de-reified is only further evidence that they are attempting to reify the concept. That's the weird part of the reified mind - it's a self-alienating process - a mental blindspot and once you see your own blindspot, you can't unsee it.
No, because I couldn't afford to meet my family's basic monthly expenses after that much of a pay cut. If the pay cut and insurance were not an issue, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

For a while in 2000 I went to six hours a day, paid purely hourly, for some audio driver and desktop application development, for a company that made audio interfaces. It was great, actually. I'd show up fully energized to work, put in a _focused_ six hours, get a lot done, and leave. I was single and didn't need to earn that much to meet my needs. It was not sustainable long-term because of the lack of health insurance, but everything else about it was great.
TBH I prefer traditional forums over Twitter/reddit. There are a few I go to every now and again, and while there is way less content, I feel people are way less inflammatory over random things and conversation is usually way more civil.
LEDs are sensitive to heat. It might be that recessed lighting is causing your bulbs to overheat and fail early because they don't have enough ventilation.
This is a trend that has spread into every aspect of specifically American society.

Items have been replaced with poorer quality versions, and the originals become incredibly expensive or impossible to find. Once the downsides of the new version become clear, you are left with obvious and uncounted inflation. It's a mixture of shrink-flation and planned obsolescence.

Examples such as: 100% juice, window blinds, light-bulbs, furniture, vegetables (tomatoes, corn, etc), produce (specifically meat), buildings/building materials.

Every time I see tailscale do something really neat I'm always a little disappointed to find out they still offer only the three auth schemes- and I really don't want to tie my networking to google/github/ms. On top of the various tinfoil hat reasons, I know a variety of people who have had these accounts terminated out of the blue, and it throwing out my networking stack would be insanely aggravating.

If you're reading tailscale, I will pay you actual real dollars per month to offer a different not-tied-to-a-megacorp authentication scheme. Till then, guess I've got headscale.

> It's truly incredible that the A12/SR-71 aircraft was designed without the benefit of modern computing.

One of the huge things that computers give us is the ability to simulate where the design limits actually are - you can "relatively" easily design a device that needs to do "at least X" but once you're done, you don't really know how far past X you can go - computer simulations can help discover where and what exactly fails.

(Some limits like boat "hull speed" are easier to find than others).
The modding/custom server situation with Minecraft is so exhausting. I can't believe after all these years there is still no official modding or plugin API.

So now we have Folia, which is a fork of Paper, which is a fork of Spigot, which I believe was originally a fork of Bukkit. Nice. I guess people don't want to upstream patches for some reason.
The machine learning model combines more weather models as mentioned and this feeds proprietary local models that compute the weather exactly for your location. If you request a specific GPS, the chance of rain will be computed for the exact point based on the orography and nearby grid points.
