These have historically often been thought of separately: knowledge representation was the data, and language was the interface.

To at least some degree, maybe language is enough for both. Language doesn't just express concepts, but it contains them.
By "dynamism" I meant it makes it harder to be unemployed, as you might be if you want to start a new business/become a contractor etc. Switching jobs is OK if you already have one lined up.

Also, being married makes it safer (but you might be relying on two incomes) and Obamacare is good in some states.

Ask HN: How to Comply with Sanctions as a SaaS
In the modern world, many countries have sanction laws, and lists. How to comply this for a small SaaS company? Which payment processors, or merchants of record provide such services as part of their offering?

What does your SaaS do to comply with such laws?

Turnstile (https://www.tryturnstile.com) | REMOTE (US/Canada) | Engineering/Product/Design | $155k-250k salary + equity

---

We're a small (16-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building a usage-based revenue platform that helps SaaS companies price however they want. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — most of us have 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Technical Lead (frontend and data)
- Software Engineer (frontend and fullstack)
- Product Designer
- Product Manager

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm Mike, one of the founders— if interested, apply here (https://tryturnstile.com/about) and mention this post.

I am guessing this couldn't have been just luck either.
So you basically understand the US is guilty, but somehow assumed I was saying the people on Latin America who used this training to murder their own people are innocent?

Of course it requires two things: murderers and those willing to train and support them.

PS: "nice try" my ass. This piece of history I'm telling you is widely acknowledged, this is not some kind of conspiracy theory.
This seems misguided. Or at least, I can't see the value of it. It just seems like a classic JS community take - shape a thing so it fits with the familiar ecosystem, constrain it with structure and types and such, and keep grinding.

I think the author misses the point by a million miles: part of the attractiveness of LLMs is that you don't have to bother with a formally structured language to achieve results. GPT effortlessly bridges the gap between programming and human languages - making some structured prompt language seems.. pointless. Almost like an artifact of a mind that finds comfort in constraint, at a time when we're given freedom to roam.
Not all of us feel this way. Like GP, if you put your work out there for anyone to consume. I put my work out there without permissions, so that it is truly open and free to use for anyone without discrimination.

Why do you want to add discrimination in order to use your work?
This feels like inventing horseshoes for cars. The author asks ChatGPT for its advantages over natural language interactions, and the ever agreeable ChatGPT comes up with this:

> Firstly, SudoLang provides a more structured and consistent syntax than free-form natural language interactions. This can make it easier to understand and modify code

> Secondly, SudoLang is designed specifically for interacting with LLMs, which means it can take advantage of their unique capabilities, such as generating code, solving problems, and answering complex questions

> Finally, SudoLang includes features like modifiers and template strings that allow for more precise control over the responses and outputs generated by the LLM

But none of these is an actual advantage.

1. Formal languages' restrictiveness is a disadvantage with an LLM. It artificially limits the LLM to acting like a traditional GPPL. With an LLM, when you need to express something that would break the mold of a formal language, you can simply express it: There's no need to introduce a new version of the language spec or search Stack Overflow.

2. "Designed specifically for" isn't an advantage if the design is poor. LLMs were already designed specifically for interacting with natural language, which already lets the user "take advantage of [LLMs'] unique capabilities," as ChatGPT puts it.

3. Modifiers and template strings aren't useful because, again, LLMs don't have the constraints of formal languages. In fact, as ChatGPT points out in the article, "an LLM (large language model) does not need to be given the specification of SudoLang in order to interpret SudoLang code." In other words, my naive request to ChatGPT to "mail merge" a set of names into some text is as valid as SudoLang's template strings, without having to learn their syntax.

It's an interesting experiment, but I don't think it makes sense beyond that.
Amsuingly the article compared to Pandas. Which in 2.0 has an Arrow backend. It'd be fun to see an update with the new Arrow backend.

The idea of having a zero-copy datastore is very compelling. I'd futzed around a little with Arrow Ray, which is just a dumb shared-object store. Going further makes hea sense. It also suggests the need for radically higher radix db's, where most nodes have some local db instance, that selectively pulls in data. With the disaggregated db model that's rapidly rising in popularity, this comes semi-free.

That seems an expensive lesson in filling in the customs declaration. Gifts are exempt from customs duties and VAT if they're worth €45 or less, and exempt from duties but not VAT up to €150.

If you ignore a parcel or reject it, it should be returned to the sender.
Even commodity Dells like the Inspiron and XPS models tend to be extremely repairable (and fairly upgradable, which is where Apple really falls flat). Granted that there will always be lemons (and there have been lemon Macs, in which case you are SOL), but by and large people replacing PCs after a year or two just don't care to take the time.

I'm currently using a Dell XPS laptop that will turn 12 years old in a few months. Since I bought it, I've been able to

1. Replace the AC adapter and battery multiple times (the most common failure point for this model).

2. Upgrade the screen (yes, really!) to a wide color gamut model that can do photo editing in the AdobeRGB space. (New Macs have good screens, but not so long ago even the MBP only had an sRGB screen).

3. Add an SSD.

4. Upgrade the memory (supports up to 32 GB).

5. Upgrade the WiFi adapter card to a new model that supports WiFi 5 (née AC), getting me much faster wireless without having to buy a new laptop.

And ... a bunch of other stuff. All this has cost me less money, in total, than a brand new bottom-of-the-line Dell model would have cost me at any point in the last 12 years. The point being, if you're going to replace your device after 4 years anyway, may as well get a Macbook Air at this point (especially with the M1/M2 chip). But I've been delighted by the longevity of my old Dell.
I suspect Apple views WebXR as an inefficient lowest common denominator API, not unlike Flash on mobile back in 2007, and they don’t want people writing apps on their platform against that.
What do you mean by Meta mistakes? If you think they're neglecting their VR department I have news for you...
> Additionally there's just multitudes of construction jobs, maintenance jobs, physical jobs that can't be replaced.

Yes, I should have been more specific: I can't think of a way I could adapt to such a world in a way that wouldn't be utterly soul-crushing. If those sorts of jobs were appealing to me, I would still be doing them.

In any case, this is why I don't spend a lot of time thinking about this eventuality. I think it's an unlikely one, and it's a possible future that looks incredibly dystopian to me.

Since it's an unlikely future that I consider incredibly dystopian and have no idea how I could possible adapt to it, the most logical thing to do is to not waste a lot of time thinking about it. If/when the future comes, perhaps there will be options that are unclear to me now, or perhaps I'm just doomed. Either way, that's a bridge better crossed when I get to it. There's far too much uncertainty right now to engage in anything like planning.
> Or the 2019 constitutional amendment that placed joining the EU and NATO as a strategic objective for Ukraine?

Russia invaded and annexed Crimea in 2014. Pretending this counts is like charging a rape victim with criminal assault because they fought back.
I still have my Asus ROG g73S from 2010 and boot it up from time to time when I need a windows machine or CD/DVD/blu ray player. It runs windows 10 these days and doesn't have any issues with drivers, I definitely think its closer to apple in terms of both price and longevity. I use a macbook pro as my daily driver now and love the smaller form factor though.

2) how many container sails are needed in an array to achieve 20% fuel cost reduction?

3) what scale of retrofitting is required to install this onto existing fleets?

Font Awesome (YC S15) Is Hiring a Remote, US-Based Product Designer
Awesome to see this on Hacker News, I love whenever we get sailors on here. I have tons of questions.

Why steel? Durability I assume? Have you modeled using a textile?

Do you have load sensors throughout the wing? Anemometors?

How active is the trimming? Is it just a single axis of rotation or do you have the ability to adjust the leech and luff shape? If so do you have the ability to adjust both the leeward and windward skins? Or just the windward? 2mm steel seems like it has a decent amount of play at that scale? Have you built any bigger scale models with steel? Feels to me like iteration time would take a significant hit playing with steel instead of cloth?

As consistent as these ships are with their speed under motor, the apparent wind will be all over the place. Could see apparent from 50+ on the nose to 5 knots from dead astern. Do you intend to have a fixed set of optimal wind velocities and trim settings? Or want to make something that is usable and automatic in anything but the most violent of breezes?

How much of the bill-of-materials is custom and how much is off-the-shelf type components and structural bits? Any custom composite parts or fairly off the shelf steel tubing, bar, and such?

Also are you hiring?
Thanks for the feedback. I get your point but with Unriddle users curate information for the index that sits on top of GPT-4. It's just one doc for now but in the future it will be multiple - this curation of info sources is where the "own" part comes in.

Recently ex-Google, but I also have small- and medium-sized company experience. Probably happiest building for builders, but pragmatically flexible to meet project needs.
I recently picked up an m2 14". It's fucking delightful, it's true that it's a pound heavier (which is about 40% heavier). But in a bag that pound doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot to me.

The inclusion of the HDMI port, and generally how far along we are in the usb-c transition, means that I can probably get away without one of those mini dock dongles that generally are no more than a few usb-a ports, an HDMI port and maybe an ethernet port. I have a couple of tiny usb-c(male) to usb-a(female) in my bag for interfacing if I need to.

Previously I had a 13" M1 work machine and it was also great but skated a bit too close to the 'air' sun. It was almost perfect except I felt like I had to carry that stupid mini-dock dongle with me just about everywhere given that it only had 2 ports, one of which was probably going to be for power. (and no magsafe... boooooo)
Honestly I wish you well in this approach, I just worry that ignoring this completely may be too costly.

I'm just advocating a very cautious middle path. For now, these tools are just code helpers to me (and right now I barely use them for that), but the moment I sense a genuine advantage to using them in my job, and I don't think it undermines my engineering, I think I'll have to engage further. Undermining for me means, reducing software quality, reliability, my own understanding. To the extent that I can work faster though, and even improve on those metrics, so much the better.

The semi-near future to me (5-10 years?) , breathless hype-aside, looks like one where quite a lot of coding is automated with machines able to range over whole codebases and build higher level models of the software, and then getting into architectural system-design suggestions. I also see them linking up with company docs to build up a model of the whole domain. This doesn't need AGI, it's just an extension of what we have now, and I can't see it being anything other than a game changer.

Forget ChatGPT, imagine your own private LLM, trained on your code and business, with all the weird glitches these prototypes have currently largely gone. You, the expert architect, are still needed, but you've now added a superpower to your tool chain.

I'm an experienced product manager, currently at a large US-based corporate firm working as a senior PM for two companies it owns. I'd like to step back away from the corporate feeling. Focused primarily on IDEs and code tooling, with a focus today on C++, but I enjoy all kinds of customer-facing products and they don't need to be high-tech: I like understanding customers, solving problems, and making great UIs that are genuinely usable (ones that are not just current, but also genuinely help people get their work done.) I'm no longer a professional programmer, but I have a long history as a developer before I became a PM and understand development well.

I prefer impactful technology. Currently the tools I manage are relied on by many worldwide, and I've worked before on tools used by scientists that helped drive eco-based political policy or climate change research among more. I would value any product and company that has a positive influence on the world. If you have a positive impact and culture, I will value your goals and can work very well to help you.

At work I have a strong drive to improve processes, teach and mentor, and ultimately of course deliver good products.
"Smart phones are for work and communication. Not for gaming and escape." could've been a credible statement before the iPhone.

I'm not sure if their eventual products will be 'revolutionary' or 'magical' but considering Apple is pretty damn good at displays, creating new input paradigms and they make their own chip, it's possible we'll see something that's way better than everything on the market. It could make us re-think VR devices for non-productivity use cases.

Or, it could just be a failed product. Time will tell.

Both SpaceX and Tesla nearly went bankrupt multiple times, we could just as easily be talking about an Elon Musk who had every advantage (government contracts, huge tax breaks and a fantastically wealthy family) and still failed. Maybe this is a case of fortune favoring the bold and I admire his perseverance/grit/marketing ability a lot. I've never heard him explain anything technical in any interview he's ever given and instead just starts behaving autistic if he's asked any detail about things. When he does stray into technical subjects like Twitter code he seems to talk nonsense that any engineer who has worked at a Twitter scale company would laugh at.
>Then why don’t people buy those over apple products?

But they do lil bro/sis

Lenovo Thinkpad, Dell Presicion/Latitude or HP Elitebook for companies aint cheap. Gaming laptops.
Android phones, the top ones.

etc
Apple is the only major consumer electronics manufacturer with high enough margins to cut them "significantly". IIRC, their gross margins are still multiple times higher than the industry average. They would have to cut prices by a lot more to fall in line with industry averages, which honestly, doesn't seem likely to me.

Exactly, Ma was kinda struggling to get a train of thought across linguistically and half the time when Musk interrupted him he was rather making fun of some poor choice of words and being like "lol whatever" than trying to actually engage in a conversation.
