What would you suppose the list is for? Almost everything on that list is something they have publicly stated they are trying to reduce. I don't think we have to play dumb here and say "it didn't specifically use the word downvote therefore we can't possibly know what it is for"
We have 748 million people here in the EU, so I'm not sure what you're on about when it comes to scale. As for efficiency, I suppose that depends on how you define the numerator and denominator.
Sounds about right. Which would make this corner case about 5-10x more expensive than a laser, which is close but below one order of magnitude difference. At these points and with such infrequently printing, the cost of the printer itself becomes more relevant than the cost of ink, and that favors inkjets and inkjet multifunctions (e.g. dual-sided ADFs can be had for around 50€ inkjet, since they obviously under-price them; much harder to see these prices for lasers or even non-cartridge inkjets).
I think the rocket will succeed but I find Musk's projections of costs as low as $10 a ton to orbit a bit unlikely.
You assume a free market economy that does not exist. Rent is a good example because regulation is driving it small land lords in favor of a few large corporate land lords that collude on rent using common algorithmic models.
In this context, your "simply" is probably the greatest understatement I've read on HN in 2023 so far. There's nothing simple about coordinating people like this, starting from facilitating communication across individual people to bootstrap the process and ending at grabbing enough attention of people on top to gain the necessary world-scale attention towards the problem.

My (brand new) product solves a regulatory compliance problem using GPT.

How would you defend it against competition?

* Competition includes customers building the thing themselves and third party competitors.

* Don't worry about product market fit, distribution channels, audience targeting, MVP features, or any other very valid concerns for early-stage startups. This post only concerns moat.
Show HN: Shhhbb, an SSH BBS
Hello all :) I made this BBS for fun and thought you all would enjoy it. It's not perfect, but it's been a fun exercise!

see it: https://asciinema.org/a/Emg6SWrXMV6cehfQxrw1GRu75

try it:

ssh -p 2223 shhhbb.com

host it: https://github.com/donuts-are-good/shhhbb/releases/latest

why?

Every year I challenge myself in some new way, this year it is to push one project per week. You might recognize my static site generator [0] or my releaser for go [1] from previous posts as one of these weekly projects. If you want to join me in doing this, it's been a blast and I highly recommend it! Maybe we can chat on the bbs about it :)

[0] - bearclaw tiny static generator - https://github.com/donuts-are-good/bearclaw

[1] - release.sh release builder for go - https://github.com/donuts-are-good/bearclaw

need:

I'd love a few co-conspirators, or even some new friends for the bbs software or the bbs itself. A lofty nice-to-have goal is meeting a few other similarly motivated people to conspire with on a weekly basis. If that's you, drop me a line!

goals:

I have about half of an admin interface endpoint pushed up, which I'd like to finish. I realized mid-commit that I'd lacked some other material in a previous commit, and in pushing it up, I ended up pushing half the admin feature. Stay tuned for that.

I'd also like to implement a feature where I surrender the socket to a new process so I can upgrade the binary without dropping all of the connected users. I'm not sure on the feasibility of this, but all the words fit together, so it'll be tried.

it still seems that you are unaware of the distinction i was focusing on between transmission systems and distribution systems

a residence that can provide some of its own power during peak hours does not need distribution, transmission, or (utility-scale) generation sized for full load; a neighborhood that can provide some of its own power during peak hours does not need transmission or (utility-scale) generation sized for full load, just distribution. this is a much less onerous requirement than the one you erroneously believe to be necessary
Manjaro Can’t boot LUKS encrypted install after stable update
You have to be careful with that analysis. There are at least three issues:

1. The time period over which he looks is extremely short. Although the change in data looks compelling, I'd really want to see more than just a few years of "normal" levels to be convinced there's really a major deviation from the norm.

2. The argument starts by asserting a correlation (rollout of smart phones, change in the data) but then moves smoothly to a different correlation (social media usage, change in the data).

3. The biggest problem: this is all social science. Someone took a close look at the studies Haidt is using to try and prove a link to social media specifically (vs other causes) and discovered they're of the sort of quality we've come to expect from the field, dominated by tiny unrepresentative samples, bad methodologies, bad statistics and so on.

https://reason.com/2023/03/29/the-statistically-flawed-evide...

To his credit I found this rebuttal on Haidt's Twitter feed and he promises a response. Unfortunately, judging from his tweets so far, that response might not be convincing:

Haidt: "Brown requires a standard of proof not appropriate for a public health crisis"

Reply from someone on Twitter: "Oh no, that's a bad argument I think! We shouldn't be calling for lower standards of evidence during a public health crisis, but the inverse"

Haidt: "Aaron has set his skepticism meter so high that he says none of the 300 studies in the google doc are valid. That is too high. No studies pass muster?"

I don't think Brown actually does assert all 300 are invalid, just that he checked quite a few and none of the ones he spot checked were valid.

But this is a way of thinking that crops up all the time in academic work. Back when I was reviewing COVID papers I was constantly hitting this kind type of assumption in the public health space, that quantity is some proxy/substitute for quality, or that you don't need to verify the quality of studies you're citing because they can't all be wrong, or (worst of all) that because a problem seems important the standard of evidence should be low.

It's totally possible that there is an abnormal increase in teen mental health issues lately but it's too early to consider it proven. More raw data is needed stretching back a lot further in time. Additionally the claim that it's driven by social media needs a smaller number of higher quality studies before it's taken seriously. Right now not only do the studies not convince, but it's not even clear what they're measuring. For example the growth in smartphones would also make it much easier to consume news around the clock, and social media often rebroadcasts news, so it could be hard to decorrelate these things to decide to what extent it's selfies vs headlines that drives the depression.
The wpa_passphrase tool simply stores the raw hash used by WPA to authenticate to the AP. This is the behavior performed under the hood even when the plaintext is utilized. You could still reuse the stored hash to maintain the same level of access afforded by the plaintext passphrase, but wpa_passphrase isn't security theater or obfuscation.

There's an opportunity for a wider discussion about how these situations should be handled. We can all learn and grow from that.
If you think an acme using website is going to remain accessible when left unattended for a decade I have a bridge to sell you. acme 1 didn't even last a handful of years. And that's ignoring the dozens of ways every individual acme package can and do fail even before the protocol becomes obsoleted. Moving parts break. Even if the complexity is hidden from you it is still there. And lets not even get into root cert churn. Remember when LE's original root cert stopped working a couple years ago?

HTTPS only, CA TLS only, leads to websites with lifetimes that max out around several years. This is fine for corporate/institutions as nothing of theirs lasts this long anyway. But it's a huge problem with personal sites which remain useful and valuable for longer time periods.

> It does seem pretty clear however that the Russian-speaking eastern Ukrainian/Crimean population doesn't want to be ruled by Kyiv, doesn't it? So just draw a new border and end the conflict.

Umm, my dude, are you sure you are not familiar with typical Russian propaganda talking points as you declared in your previous reply? You seem to regurgitate them all too well to be honest with you!

So, first of all, as a person with half of my family coming from one the towns in eastern Ukraine that has been occupied occupied since 2014: No, it is absolutely not clear that the population of those regions that were there in 2014 "don't want to be ruled by Kyiv". By now, yes, people who didn't like the occupation are either left or dead. You are also seem to be wrong regarding Crimea [0].

Now, with that out of the way we need to discuss some other inconvenient facts regarding where Russians want to "draw a new border". The Russians also tried to occupy parts of northern Ukraine where, as I can assure you, they were _extremely_ not welcome. I don't have close friends or relatives from south, but I also got the impression that people on [1] or [2] or [3] are not too unfriendly towards Kyiv. Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Someone should use GPT3 and a voice model to make a dramatic version of github issues.
Actually, I just got a wood boiler for this past winter. This is basically a stove that lives outside, surrounded by a water jacket (~200 gallons) and insulation. It modulates the fire to keep the water from boiling off regardless of how much heat you're drawing off. You then run pipes to your house and tie it into your hydronic heating system. I feed it wood twice a day, and it keeps my house as comfortable as burning oil did (actually even more comfortable since I can heat the unfinished basement when I want, and not feel bad). And since it's outside, I don't deal with any of the mess or work of bringing heating-scale quantities of wood inside.

They do require power to run (automated dampers, blower, circulators), so I have a small backup generator as per my last comment. And they've gotten a bit expensive (especially now that the US federal tax credit has gone away), but my estimated payback period is around 6 years.

You might wonder why I'm posting in a thread about heat pumps when I just got a different major heating source, but I see heat pumps and wood as two very complementary heat sources. Down the line I'm planning to add a water-to-water or air-to-water heat pump for the shoulder seasons (and summer DHW), so that I don't have to tend a fire (or burn oil) when the heating load is low. One four or five ton unit should take care of my heat loss most of the time, and I won't have to oversize the system to handle the dead of winter cold snaps.
He makes way more mistakes than I would like as well. But he also has made a lot of fantastic decisions that IMO outweigh by magnitudes the annoying irreverence he displays.

By the way, I’m not excusing his behavior by saying this, but I’m pretty sure the irreverence is a complete response to the struggles and pain from non-stop attacks from fighting giants in the arena for years. Putting yourself out there, living in the arena, especially to the extent he has, is super hard. Most of us don’t have the courage. If you do, you’re welcome to enter it and try to be a better role model. The world needs it.
I'm extremely wary of any analysis that uses US official poverty measures over time. Highlighting just one obvious problem, this measure doesn't include non-cash benefits like housing assistance or SNAP benefits, and only takes into account pre-tax earnings. So if you're making the argument "government doesn't do enough to fight poverty", I'm not going to pay attention to you if you deliberately exclude some of the most common ways that the government uses to fight poverty.

Pretty much the reason in my case. I like being in an office itself well enough, but mainly just don't like packed-in seating arrangements. If things were spaced out more and I had the feeling of more personal space, it could feel completely different. I don't generally have a problem focusing in a busy cafe for example.

But after years of WFH I've found I can't easily go back to work in that stress-inducing (for me) environment anymore. I've tried and couldn't make it more than a couple days. My coping skills have atrophied. I'd say it's even worse now with hybrid and online meetings or discussions from desks at the office.

Guess I'm lucky I still have a choice, but I'd jump at the chance of my own private office.
They are less affected by Instagram perfect images and social pressure like girls are.

That's why I think it's more then just that.
You are right, and expecting the first launch of a rocket platform to be anything but a bomb is a little unrealistic.

But wouldn’t it be amazing if it did make max Q, then coast, then ORBIT on the first try? It’s never happened before. But imagining the possibility gives my imagination a little bit of awe.

Starship would be the first system to run purely on our optimism! ;p
I could never nap. After I quit caffeine I could nap on command at any time of the day.

Also a nap doesn’t have to be a deep sleep. Just a period of short and deliberate rest for the mind.
Thanks, junior! So far (67), I find that I become grouchier and more suspicious.
fwiw, I'm in the same boat. My parents are retired, though still here. The strategy you mentioned worked for me, although it takes longer. A year instead of six months.

I have read more about being able to use short and long term disability, which might help, or be a viable part of a strategy. If you do this, I'd recommend having your own insurance and not using your state or companies disability insurance.
hahah it's the infamous HN Dropbox comment but on steroids
Sadly I’m on my phone at the moment and can’t find the specific post, but in that PR or related discussion there was talk of only a few GB of the weights actually being used during the computation, which anyone who understands how a multi headed attention transformer works would know is impossible… your QKV matmuls need to touch all of the weights once you go through all the layers. Since that post yesterday getting 1200+ upvotes resulted in multiple conversations in my social circle that took that untrue statement as fact.
I don't know what planet you're from but for me the I in AGI stands for intelligence. Nothing today is even close to intelligence. We have behavior that we, humans, perceive as intelligent in a very narrow sense.

Intelligence implies an environment and some sort of self-conservation. So being able to predict the environment AND using the prediction to survive/gain an advantage. The leaf to a self and consciousness is not that big from this but made murky by not knowing what consciousness really is to begin with.

It's unfortunate you feel that way about young men and women who are looking for direction and a path to a better future. Whether or not it works out for them, most people join the military expecting to work hard and get something in return, which doesn't conjure "bum" to me.
The potential downside for a woman who misjudges a dangerous man is far more severe than the potential downside for a man who is misjudged as dangerous by a woman.

Rest easy, HTTP/3 and below have fallback mechanisms all the way back to HTTP 1.0, as long as you still keep TLS enabled. I'm not planning on blocking anything older than TLS 1.2 in my standard config.

I fully support user choice to disable whatever protocol they want. I also think modern browsers lack options in this department. If you dislike QUIC, which I can completely understand, you should disable it.

On the server side, though, you can use modern servers and tell all your clients to stick with HTTP 1.1. Let the people who do like QUIC (or don't care) get the benefit of faster page loads and lower latency. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 solve some real performance issues, particularly for users with unstable or slow internet connections. I don't see why would would deprive them of that simply because you prefer to have the protocol disabled.
There were no improvements to memory use, the earlier GBs were a measurement error. If you couldn't run a model before (or were swapping, so running very slow), then you still have the same problem. You will actually "swap" a lot more than before if you have barely enough memory, but this is fixable with the --mlock flag.

Just. Stop. Putting. Teflon. On. Everything.

Figuring out what does and does not have PFAS on it to protect my family is exhausting and infuriating. I’ve emailed with manufacturers, sent stuff to labs; basically, no one seems to know how much materials like this are used on every day products.
The idea is to check if the new operation has nice properties.

For example if we call your new operation x, is it true that

((A x B) x C) = (A x (B) x C)) ???

Almost all useful operations have that property. Check with a few examples of matrices.
Boost B1/B2/B3 vitamin supplementation, take NAD boosters like Niagen or NMN, NAC, potassium and alpha-ketoglutarate to get your neural mitochondria back into shape. Sodium-potassium pump consumes 75% of neuron's energy and too low potassium or too weak mitochondria interferes with it. Too strong mitochondria with low potassium makes it worse as well. NAC is to get rid of metabolic waste, AKG is to make cells more resilient.
For posterity, use a platform where you own your work.

It doesn't need to last a decade no more than does a web server. We have to upgrade software, it's just a fact of life. I don't really understand the objection on those grounds. It sounds like you just don't want to do it for other reasons.

> What is wealth? How do you define it?

Anything you own with a quantifiable monetary value. Yes, even if that value is not fixed.

> If I own a company worth X billion, does that mean I have to sell my shares to withdraw enough cash to pay my taxes, thereby tanking the value of my own company?

Yes.

> If I pay a lot in a downturn but my company does better in a boom, will I get refunded the extra tax I paid?

No. How does that even make sense?

The answers to these questions are easy, people you just don't like them, because they mean that those who have a lot and feel like they "got it fair and square" suddenly have to (gasp) contribute to society rather than hoarding all of that money to themselves. Even though you start to hit massive diminishing returns in terms of effect on your actual lifestyle once you're getting up into the million range, and see barely any effect at all of additional wealth or income once you're past, say, 100 million. It becomes just a dollar-denominated high score, so that you can feel smug about How Great A Businessman You Are, while millions of people starve on the streets unnecessarily.
> To me “rich” implies independence and the ability to stop working 9-5.

Perhaps this is a good example of the uselessness of the term “rich” when used absolutely because I would never interpret the word that way and we’d be talking past each other in any discussion!

Fresh food logistics are horrible. Did fresh food online for a few years. Makes things almost impossible.

The smart companies try to extent the shelf life as long as possible. And make storage easy.

Plastic and chemicals are great for those.

Put some chemicals in that make your company profitable while the gov deems it safe? A no brainer.

Only non chemical alternative is the freezer.
It's hard to say what the long-term effects look like. It looks to me that when I (rarely) go into Boston, commuting traffic is at pre-pandemic levels although broader stats suggest commuting is still down somewhat (and local transit still seems reduced).

But, especially as leases expire, for both major employers and various support businesses like restaurants and bars we'll start to have a better idea of what the new normal looks like. (There's of course also no reason to think that the same preferences for work and living will automatically be picked up by new generations.)
