I actually kind of agree with you, but my god man. Nothing may change today except the ability to innovate forward without living in fear of breaking shit. This is huge.

We are on a site called hacker news. What the hack with the ignorant business value. The business view has always been bad at being a hacker, but don't rub it in! Your degradation is just more heaped abuse from the know-nots. Have some decorum, so we smart knowing shit hackers can bother to put up with you presence without being in pain.

Building a good technical foundation is almost never a clear business case. But I dare you to try not doing it.
Eh, call me a naysayer, but nobody cared about AI agents because they largely weren't useful until ~GPT 3.5 and Alpaca Lora 7b is about as useful as a vestigial nipple and requires state of the art hardware to run locally.

I'm also going to take the opportunity to poo-poo this pet peeve:

>More powerful CPUs, such as the Intel Core i5, can generate 17 seconds of audio in the same amount of time.

Oh, really?

...Intel Core i5 brand microprocessors... Introduced in 2009...

About as accurate as saying "users of four-wheeled vehicles" when carriages were still around.

At the very least, you need to provide the node.
This comment is mostly based on my own personal anecdotal experience, but that is mostly elitist nonsense. These people don’t know the difference between Sauterne and Riesling, they don’t have the most up-to-date received wisdom and luxury beliefs, but they know by and large where babies come from.
Cool find!

One thing to note is that is what was, long ago, pitched as "Web 3.0"; a "semantic web" where all relationships between entities could be expressed in code.

Ask HN: B2B SaaS Advice Please
Hi everyone,
I'd appreciate some advice. Built a B2B SaaS (my first one) and have it working. It does a very specific thing for a very specific type of business (Car Dealerships). I've focused it on purpose so its value is clear. I'm starting to cold email the people who would make purchasing decisions (management). The pricing is $19/month for context. Bootstrapping btw.

Being that this is new for me I wanted to ask if those who have experience could share their tips or thoughts on what I'm doing. So far I've been doing outbound cold emails. The contact info for the people I need to reach is very easy to access. My first email is very straight to the point so they can understand what it is and how it can help. I plan on following up with a quick demo showing the tool in action (specifically for their business). And then going from there.

Is there anything else I should be doing, not doing? Am I doing this right overall so far? How many emails should I send out before looking at the numbers and deciding I need to change something or fuel what's working? Anything helps, thanks.
They are certainly superior in may ways now, none of which was true when Tesla made their debut. There is also the raft of basic build fuckups, gross fitment issues, and bullshit software problems to consider, none of which dissuaded the early adopters required to have the brand hit critical mass and go mainstream. My next vehicle will almost certainly be an EV, and absolutely will not be a Tesla. Thank you for illustrating my point in any case.
I actually used raw GDI+ for the GUI of an app recently. My personal requirement was that the executable had to be completely stand-alone and only a few KB in size. GDI+ helped fit the bill for creating a simple GUI and eliminating dependencies on large frameworks, so that it could easily be copied around and guaranteed to work everywhere.

Wouldn't use raw GDI+ for any UI of moderate complexity, but it was perfect for the ghetto app I made myself.
There are many conspiracy theories that turned out to be true. Therefore, there is no reason to downplay the people who like conspiracy theories.
Ok? What's the point? Do you want them to invent a time machine and not do that? Is it a bad idea to fix the issues?
My initial thoughts would be to try and scavenge cabling from a car. Wiring harnesses are surprisingly big, especially in modern cars.

Maybe even copper piping is an option?
The short form of this is "some people make money drilling for oil, and some people make money by NOT drilling for oil, and some people make money inbetween the two states, depending"

"Making money" is complicated. If you hold rights to shale oil, they may be worth more or less, depending on external conditions. You might sell on those rights, or leverage those rights, and it might go on a long, long time and never be actually invoked to process the shale. It was the act of being ABLE to, which drove the money cycle. It put a bottom over supply chain risk.
My first ever cell phone was a Nokia, in 1997. It was a "non-functional flip" (just a plastic cover over the mouthpiece) that the sales lady pointed out, as if that would discourage me? Anyway, it had a great LCD, good UI, solid construction, replaceable battery. About two weeks after purchase, I managed to smoosh it in the car door and destroy the display.

So then it was in repair for the rest of eternity, and in return they gave me, as a loaner, a Motorola Brick. It tended to hang up at the slightest provocation. I was living in a shelter and didn't really appreciate the shoddy service. I've never regretted breaking a good device more than that.
I wonder what they expect their killer app to be for the revenue stream to turn around. Like, do they think they just need to solve the leg problem and it's all gravy after that? Wild... John Carmack would talk about the price of the headset needing to drop.. even he was disillusion.

Again that's the opposite of my experience. When I reserve on Booking.com my reservation is always there (and I can see a confirmation of it whenever I want). When I reserve directly, who knows.
Europe to ChatGPT: disclose your sources
Motherboard manufacturers certainly have to consider DRAM trace lengths when supporting modern DDR5 clock speeds, which are now 6,000 Mhz for top of the line hardware.

The CAS latency for RAM is considerably higher and has been decoupled from this - as clock speeds go up CL multipliers go up and the CAS latency ends up being roughly the same - ~10 ns for the best RAM.

I'm not sure why CAS latency can't be driven lower. Row selection (tRCD) could be limited by the physics of charging up sense amplifiers, but I don't see why the logic for column address shouldn't be able to run faster. It's probably just something that hasn't been an area of optimization for the simple reason that there are many other much larger sources of latency.

And on that note, a CPU won't just jump to accessing some random word from RAM and copying it into a register. It will first look through L1, then L2, and then L3 before seeking the data from RAM. It will then copy an entire cache line into all three caches and load the target word into a register. This entire process results in ~100 ns latency.
>I was apparently not alone; it did poorly at the box office.

Box office response is hardly a barometer for anything. It can be a proxy for good, it can also be a proxy for marketing budgets (just look at how "successful" Marvel movies are, and they are the absolute worst types of movies).

>I'm also generally not a fan of religious films

Filtered. Absolutely plebeian take. I know it's uncool to be religious in tech circles/SV, but it shouldn't stop you from enjoying great cinema.
> see the current wave of anti-racism, anti-slavery, and anti-misogyny as just a silly fad

So... I certainly hope that being genuinely anti those things doesn't turn out to be a fad, those things are all bad things and should be opposed. Having said that I do hope that some of the ways people are choosing to be "anti" these things goes the way of the dodo because I believe they are ineffective and dumb.

As an example trying to get rid of the word "master" in tech... it's use in tech is in no way an endorsement of slavery. The suggestion it is racist to use this term is especially silly to me, because slavery has been practiced by all sorts of cultures for human history and because slavery is still a thing that is going on in the world (just look at that new stadium in the UAE).

Being anti slavery is fantastic. We can do that by boycotting companies that turn a blind eye to forced labour and by pressuring our governments to sanction countries that ignore it within their borders.

The same applies to being anti-racist or anti-misogynist or whatever. There are concrete actions that can be taken that will make a difference, but going back through old art and censoring certain words for fear that they get uttered as if this were Harry Potter and these words were Voldemort is just fucking silly.
Is the equipment still there at De Anza College? $180M worth of semiconductor equipment is a lot of equipment.
Even in C#, the default image handling libraries use GDI+ still, even in .NET 7. There was some sort of attempt to make it work on Linux (via some sort of shim or comparability layer, I assume) but MS abandoned those efforts after .NET Core 3.1

> When was it determined that access to orbit was a requirement?

I’d say for the general public, some time in the 90s. For states, as far back as the 60s or 70s I’d say.

> And a requirement to what?

Off the top of my head? Current uses would include communications, navigation/positioning, remote sensing, research, and exploration.

Future uses will almost certainly include access to the resources of the rest of the solar system. In the grand scheme of things, we’re not that far away from being able to capture, relocate, and mine asteroids. Many of those contain resources that are extremely rare or difficult to obtain on Earth.

For example - I think we can agree that moving automobiles from ICE to EV will be a good thing for our biosphere. Cobalt is one of the raw materials that is in short supply. There are two near-Earth asteroids that combined are believed to exceed the Earth’s reserves for cobalt:

If SpaceX does succeed in driving down the cost to orbit, mining those (and others like them) will be much more practical.

> Our orbit is already littered with orbital trash, we are worried we wont be able to leave orbit if it keeps going.

We’re a long way from risking Kessler Syndrome, and have the technology and experience to prevent it from occurring.
How many Smoky bars or cloudy restaurants have you stepped into lately? Smoking all together is way down. Pollution is way down. The claims of the article don't make sense.
It would be amazing if there were a Manhattan Project for eliminating memory-unsafe code from modern operating systems and browser engines. This would probably increase the cost of pwning VIPs and critical infrastructure by several orders of magnitude.
Interesting article, but the concept of 'drowning one's sorrows in a cup of wine' in relation to 'the wine-dark sea' is the kind of thing a poet would come up with. The texts seem to bear this out:

> "And now have I put in here, as thou seest, with ship and crew, while sailing over the wine-dark sea to men of strange speech, on my way to Temese for copper..."

> "Nay, if thou wilt, go and ask the old warrior Laertes, who, they say, comes no more to the city, but afar in the fields suffers woes attended by an aged woman as his handmaid, who sets before him food and drink, after weariness has laid hold of his limbs, as he creeps along the slope of his vineyard plot..."

> "What feast, what throng is this? What need hast thou of it? Is it a drinking bout, or a wedding feast?"

Even so, there's room to negotiate. Biden can't replace Thomas without the Senate's ok, and they might go for it if they got to choose the new one (and they might even be worried that if they wait, it'd work out worse for them). Biden makes sure that their favorite isn't bugshit psycho, so even though the new one's still conservative, it's an improvement.

When the Democrats signal that they're never willing to negotiate, of course the other side will take the same tact... "Why would we want to anyway!?!" all sour grapes.

Back when Trump was still in office, they might have had a successful impeachment with a little negotiation. The Democrats had something to offer (the presidency), and the GOP didn't much care for him (they just didn't want to end up the losers if they helped the Dems). Promise to impeach Pence first, put in someone the GOP likes as VP. Then impeach Trump, their favorite candidate moves into the White House. There was even enough leverage to get Trump to agree to the VP replacement (both carrot and stick). Everyone (including the American people) could have won.

Wasted opportunities because it's more important to beat the other team than for everyone to win. Even worse results 20 years down the line because you're all too busy wanting to tear apart every check and balance for some temporary advantage. Really are getting the government you all deserve.
"modify a reservation": The posts below are trying to guess the exactly meaning of this phrase. Can you provide some specific examples?
> So killing, cannibalism and pederasty are obviously imomral.

Actually cannibalism is just eating of people, there is no requirement that said people get butchered for it. Someone might ritualistically eat an elder in their community to gain part of their wisdom for example, but there is not a requirement that they slay that elder first - they may just wait for them to die

Do you have kids?

Because the reality is that if you did and you lived in an urban area, you are friends with many couples with kids, and no one is going past two, because they cant afford it without critical haircut to QoL.

And often this is families making 3x mean wages . with at least 1 parent working as an engineer or FAANG job.

I ask again. Are you a parent?
I’d hazard a guess that in order to bring in $100k on Twitch you’re probably in the top 1000 of all streamers. In order to make that in programming you don’t even need to be among the top few million.
Trading off security for user convenience is not objectively bad. In fact, it is always a must. The most secure product is no product.

Of course, what you really mean is that this tradeoff must be made in such a way that the product is still secure enough, as defined by the use-case. I only think this nitpick is warranted because we are discussing "epistemology".
You need to disconnect yourself if you are going to have authoritarian stances over every place your people can connect to. Your fake dominion over others will never happen nor should it. What a trash fire impossible facetiously crap un hackable perspective you offer. Complete egocentristic imposition, that those who connect can dictate terms. A joke. Absolutely the hell not.

Do you have even a single token offering to make? Is there any limit whatsoever in any way that anyone connecting from afar should have? Or should theirocal laws immediately apply in full force wherever they connect? That seems to be the stance here.
overbooking / "I've been bitten by this multiple times": Did you arrive and the hotel didn't have any spare rooms? What happened next? I have never once heard of such a thing. And you said multiple times. What kinds of hotels are these???
No, I want them to write better stuff going forward, which this seems to be.
Even as a child the apparently irrational nostalgia for the old ways and the denigration of anything new (steam vs diesel) bothered me.

I’m not sure if this was intentional and self-aware commentary, or if the series was really trying to espouse the idea that the old ways are better.
> I actually kind of agree with you [...]

Then it escalated really quickly.
> If you book through a booking website, and then you speak to the booking agent to make such a modification, they will have no ability to add the note to your booking in the hotel's computer in such a way that the staff will take it seriously; nor even, necessarily, the ability to confirm that that modification is something that the hotel can do for you. (They can call the hotel... but they're just as likely to be brushed off as you are.)

Being able to write a message and have them get back to me (even if all they're doing behind the scenes is calling the hotel) is a much better UX than having to make a phone call during business hours, particularly when there's a language barrier.

> If you book through a booking website, and then you speak to the hotel, they will tell you that they can't help you, because they want to charge you more, but they don't have the ability to charge you anything, since they're not billing you; they're billing the booking agency. And the booking agency itself has no way for a hotel to add an SKU for this kind of customization. (If it did, it'd be abused by unscrupulous hotels.) They'll then tell you that they can fix your problem if they cancel your agency booking and then re-book it through the hotel itself... but in so doing, you might not be able to keep your reservation.

> If you book through the hotel, you can just speak with the hotel, and enter into whatever private direct customer-to-business deals you like with them to negotiate whatever kind of special service you want from them.

Meh, that seems like a bullshit excuse to me. If they're selling me some special add-on service, surely they can bill me for it independently of my booking. If I'm already going to the trouble of calling them (ugh), having to give my credit card details separately is not making that a whole lot worse.
I've been reading Caroline Alexander's translation of the Iliad (she's the author of this article) and have been tremendously impressed. It's apparently at least as accurate as Lattimore (the academic standard) but so much more vivid. Scenes jump off of the page. They're also academically rigorous, important if like me you're interested in subtle meaning in Homeric epic. Highly recommended.
Perhaps my analogy wasn't clear. I meant, the painting device uses your parameters, but also supplies some modifications. Like a stenograph.

Over the past 3 years, I've been building "FreeCRT", a 24/7 Twitch streaming setup dedicated to casual Smash matches. Since I don't have a coding background, I used Node-RED to create custom flows that help manage the stream by connecting a MSI Gaming Laptop, Intel NUC, and Raspberry Pi 4. OCR and Node-RED extract text from the switch, while performing arena error logic, which connects to the Raspberry Pi to run macros to reset the open arena if it's closed. I just recently whipped up a Twitch Chatbot called FreeGPT that hosts the arena anytime. I've built it up slowly but it's been such a fun long term project.

I don't mean to sound like a real downer: but I don't see this tool "getting good" for the simple reason of: what are you training it with?

I thought ML needs huge datasets? This is great for GitHub's Copilot as there is plenty of high quality, production, open source code they've used without authorisation from the creators (and possibly proprietary code).

But this dataset just doesn't exist for hardware development on the internet. Almost everything on the net is hobbyist stuff. Great for hand building 10 on a desk but absolute rubbish for a (even horribly) manufacturable and COMPLIANT product.

Further: an anecdotal, but to me very telling, one liner from the video "the component is "not use for new designs" but we can ignore that because there's 260,000 of them". I have personally sniped larger quantities than that from digikey. "Not for new design" means you don't use it in a new design. PERIOD. And ironically, for something like a Murata cap, they've probably literally changed one letter in the PN because they've made a tiny process or recepie change and its more a "move everyone to the new iteration" process.

I do sincerely wish them success and maybe they can carved out a small bit of the hobbyist market but that's probably it.
