My apologies, you phrased your point so generally that I was under the impression you were talking about any form of online social media.

> Why haven't they already risen up and done something about what they are supposedly rallying around? Perhaps it is because the opinions they express are only being explored?

People are lazy, and turning public sentiment into a functioning movement is hard work. This does not stop the big political belief systems from including an evangelizing component, the idea that it would be best for as many people as possible to know about and be in support of the belief. Otherwise, they don't grow very big in the first place!

> If you are hard-lined "binge drinking is bad for one's health" and nothing is going to change your mind about that fact, are you going to tell ChatGPT that? If not, why would you tell Reddit? What are you going to gain from it? Why would you waste your time? Indeed, if you are unsure, only postulating the opinion of binge drinking being harmful as something to explore, then the responses provide a learning opportunity. That brings value and can make it worth your time.

My point is that someone might want fewer people getting harmed by binge drinking, even if the victims are complete strangers. So they post their earnest belief on Reddit that binge drinking is bad, backing it up with some reasoning, so that a few more people in the world might be convinced not to binge drink. That is, someone might feel some sense of pride when they help strangers by informing them of (what they see as) the truth, so they consider their time well spent.

> A hypothetical can only take us so far, but presumably the candidate hypothesizes that they can win, but they don't know for sure and are throwing it out there to try and find out.

Sure, the candidate doesn't know for sure that they'll win, but that's beside the point. Your idea would suggest that they aren't even sure if they want people to vote for them, and they only ask people to vote for them in order to probe for reasons why they shouldn't be voted for. I'm saying that they might earnestly want to win, so they campaign because they want to get as many votes as possible!

Overall, it just seems like an incredible claim that no one ever posts strongly-held opinions on Reddit primarily because they want to convince others. There are all sorts of reasons why someone might want to convince people of things! Also, I really wouldn't discount the possibility of people who like talking in its own right, as a way to spend free time. Not everyone is looking to optimize every minute of their day being maximally profuctive.

This is a good chart. But I’d argue using Vercel is entirely justified for many indie devs or startups. I bet most won’t get to the point where the extra cost of using Vercel really hurts. If someone is lucky to get there, they can just switch to using Upstash / Neon if they feel the benefits of Vercel’s extra layer don’t outweigh the added costs.
HTTPS is still a pain in the ass.

If letsencrypt would offer wildcard certificates with their url based authentification as they offer for non-wildcard certificates, it would be annoying but bearable.

But having to tinker with the DNS infrastructure for each project which wants to use domain wide HTTPS is so much hassle.
This is an awesome idea and I'm kicking myself for not thinking about it before. Very creative.

Have you made any attempt at quantifying its biases? Both whether it considers left- or right-leaning articles more significant and where it focuses most of its reporting. (Economy and the US from a first glance?)
Is better tooling support for Elixir on the horizon? I’ve found eg VSCode code completion leaving something to be desired. With TS, I feel like IDEs have my back, but with Elixir I (as a newbie) keep getting stuck. There’s also a lack of readymade idiomatic solutions to common problems out there, requiring me to browse the Elixir forum a lot.

Next.js promotes serverless deployments and in that scenario it’s not sufficiently Open Source. Vercel (or amplify) adds proprietary stuff that’s missing in next itself. There is an Open Source serverless implementation for aws lambda (open next), but it’s not official.

> Currently too much of the trust chain relies on untrustworthy components.

This will always be true unless you build all the components yourself. And you don't have time to build all the components yourself. Therefore this will always be true.

With root of trust measurement you get to see that you're running code you've arbitrarily decided to trust. Everything else you could do would be mitigations (e.g., look for access patterns that imply compromise) or attempts to suss out vulnerable and/or backdoored components (e.g., reverse engineering and analysis). Not that one should not do those other things, but that root of trust measurement is still both, essential and insufficient.

Remember: perfection is the enemy because it's unattainable. We can tilt at windmills, but that won't get us anywhere.
Totally agree on the The Body Keeps the Score. It was a hard read at the time as the author described hard scenes which I would start feeling anxious just listening about them, but it was necessary for me to understand how is the trauma stored in the body and what to do with it. I totally forgot to add this book in my recommendations. It's added now. Thanks!

I agree, you don't have to pay for my program $75-$150 to overcome Anxiety. You can totally do that with a Therapist or by yourself, which in my case was a combination of both, but also I went through some anxiety programs that gave me information that the Therapist didn't gave me at the time even when working with multiple ones.

I also believe I gave enough tools and practical tips in this article that someone can try and apply in their daily without paying me anything as I am happy to share with them for Free as long as it helps even 1 person. I also was doing that with my podcast while not charging anything. But, I can see your point of view tho!
Not a Vercel user but when I see such markups, I would like to see alternatives and compare their markups.
Can you point us to the code for cell selection, then?
The point isn't to care about what Vercel is paying but what you the end user are paying/saving when using the two services being compared.
Framework is doing brilliant work. They create reusable computer formats that anyone can hack against. Strongly considering a Framework 13 as my next computer.

The problem are SaaS headless platforms that are now making Vercel/NextJS their main SDK tooling for frontend code, where everyone that decides to use another stack is faced with having to implement by themselves what those SDKs offer out of the box in Vercel/NextJS integration.
Misconceptions. There's no inherent reason a false statement would have lower probability than a true one.

To be clear, I'm referring to things like GPT-3.5 reportedly consistently messing up on statements like "what's heavier, two pounds of feathers or a pound of bricks". Being consistently wrong in the same way implies to me (but I don't know for sure) that the class of response is high probability in an absolute sense.

I can't find the article that demonstrated the sort of things that GPT consistently gets wrong, but it was things like common misconceptions and sayings.
He seems to have been right that Trump's odds were higher because prediction error for different states wasn't independent as some other models were assuming.

I agree that we don't have a way of assessing whether the percentage given was "correct", but over a bunch of predictions we can keep track and see how he does when he gives various percentages, or compare against others with a proper scoring rule.

I don't make any claim that the odds he gave were right, but just that if they were we should still expect to see his "prediction" be wrong pretty often, so the fact that his prediction was wrong this time only counts so much against him (and to make up for that, only counts so much in is favor if he's right with low confidence).
Technically does that mean the FTC can literally go after all the companies for collusive price fixing?
I've been using Caddy for personal projects and I don't even think about HTTPS anymore. Except when I have to use another web server at work :-/
They hate you because you spoke the truth.

So much of security is performance or ruining the convenience of things just for the sake of protecting things.

It's really frustrating. But hey it's to protect the kids or something /s

Both SVB and Signature Bank were atypical banks with atypical depositors.

SVB catered to risky tech startup and Signature Bank was involved in risky crypto shenanigans.

On SVB:

>As a regional bank in the Bay Area, SVB offered services specifically designed to meet the needs of the tech industry, and soon became the largest bank by deposits in Silicon Valley and the preferred bank of almost half of all venture-backed tech startups.

On Signature Bank:

>By 2021, cryptocurrency businesses had represented 30 percent of its deposits.

>Banking officials in the state of New York closed the bank on March 12, 2023, two days after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). After SVB failed and in light of the closure of the cryptocurrency-friendly Silvergate Bank earlier in the week, nervous customers withdrew more than $10 billion in deposits.

First Republic Bank was also an atypical bank that offered high interest rates for high-net-worth depositors by not insuring deposits and having a very high loan-to-deposit ratio:

>Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings downgraded First Republic's credit rating, citing "a high proportion of uninsured deposits" from wealthy customers who are more likely to move their money elsewhere and a loan-to-deposit ratio of 111%, meaning that it had lent out more money than it had in deposits from customers.
That "Nothing more exiting in your life than looking at 'About' pages on the internet?"-banner on their 'About' page made me feel slightly embarrassed :)
Your TI calculator use 4xAAA batteries, yes? Why not use NiMH rechargeables instead of disposables? NiMH are so cheap these days that they pay for themselves after only a handful of recharge cycles. The other advantage of NiMH is that they rarely leak (I've never seen one leak). In contrast to disposable batteries which tend to leak and destroy electronics.
If you want to follow their progress what social media would you use?
The passive attacks on dTPMs in question require physical access, and opening the computer (and can be defeated with software). That is a pretty unlikely event for most users' computers. Active attacks (which can also be defeated with software) are more interesting because those are more likely, since the user doesn't have to cooperate with the attacker in those attacks.
> National governments should control their own money, scrap interest entirely. Let the market decide what each currency is worth for international trading.

Isn't this how the current system already works? Except for the "scrap interest entirely" part, which I'm not sure know what it means.
hey nikita, just checking the 100% postgres compatibility.

From what I understand there isn't any logical replication: https://community.neon.tech/t/plans-for-logical-replication/...

This prevents makes it incompatible with our Realtime server and a few other CDC tools like Debezium

(mentioned previously: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33912348)
Anyone can watch the traffic go back and forth and see all the hypermedia urls that are present in the response, just like they could hypothetically see the graphql console.

However, the smart way to implement graphql is to map queries to a restful url (that’s a simple tool to build), so that the full graph isn’t exposed to end users.
> There is at this point a remarkable absence of small bank failures.

Not sure it's that remarkable? 1. not adjusted for inflation as others have commented. 2. There are less banks in the US, maybe up to 1/2 as many as in 2008 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/184536/number-of-fdic-in...). 3. You may only be seeing the leading edge of something similar to 2008-2010 range - too early to tell.
I can't speak for others, but I think fast.ai is pretty great...
Yeah, I'm skeptical that the world has forgotten overnight that China is the posterchild of currency manipulation. I'm also skeptical that Russia's economy isn't entirely smoke and mirrors at this point.
I don't think dragonwriter was weighing in on your broader point, but being a little pedantic (and a lot correct) about what work is done by what people in our electoral coverage.
The Zimbabwean dollar had MONTHLY inflation rates reaching 79,000,000,000%.
Right around the time when Vercel introduced their performance analytics upsell service, they deleted the NextJS documentation on "web vitals" gathering - same thing, but without the service.

Then again when they introduced their new Image component for the longest time it would by default use Vercel's paid image optimisation services, eventually it could be disabled but only with some weird and poorly/confusingly documented custom configuration entry.

There are more instances of similar such questionable actions by the NextJS maintainers. I'd rather have seen them just be open about what drove them to do these things.
> well we would assume you were living in a pretty "uptown" neighborhood

No. And off plumb. Adjust your priors. (Obviously no doormen.)

> where we lived

Where?

We have so many generic hypotheticals with loose calls for policy. Let the folks who feel the brawn and brunt of crime and law enforcement speak solutions. This topic has lost relevance because it was diluted.
Then thay are better off doing it their own currency, so they don‘t even have to pay back.
Hire a fullstack product and development team for 90% cheaper
I started my first SaaS startup in 2019.
After a year, we almost had to close down.
We couldn't cover our costs.
Our expenses were mostly for developers, product team, and designers.
We had to lay off some amazing people.

After some time, we started growing.
We slowly hired the team back.
And in 2023, we sold the company!

I learned a big lesson:
Paying team members can be really expensive startups.

That's why we've launched a new service in the last few days.
It's a subscription-based dedicated product and development team.
You get diverse skillsets at 90% less cost.
No contract, more flexibility for your business.

PS: We haven't completed our landing page. So we use Notion. Lol
A bank is a business and businesses fail sometimes. This is inevitable.
Competition should drive down prices even if consumers have deep pockets.

This suggests that the US market has gotten less competitive. I wonder how much it has to do with ownership of competing firms by a few large index funds with concentrated voting power.
For some reason I remember reading that example.com will never have https, but I'm not sure that's true. It's what I use for now.
Hi and congrats, that's a great idea ? Is your project open source by any chance ? And if so, are you open to contributions ?
One of the best accounts of what happened in Bucha in my opinion: https://youtu.be/IrGZ66uKcl0, I think it can also be seen in Russia.
Possibly Korean? I would expect it to at least have a rather low level of irregularity as it doesn’t have the most complicated phonology and its alphabet was crafted for that purpose relatively recently.

What's the question? They are sharp and pointy and Mojo has an unsafe `Pointer` struct vended by the standard library for folks who know what the they are doing.
Power tends to concentrate. As democracy had to force itself into existence, so will horizontal AI. The natural condition is automated dictatorship.
Dividing by 0 or -0 is a valid floating-point operation because there's an infinity in the number system, and JS uses double precision floating point for all numbers. Python has an integer type and a double type, and division by 0 is disallowed for integers, but okay for doubles.
That’s cool there are WASM enabled Rust engines! I’ll be honest, before you mentioned them, I’d never even heard of Bevy or Fyrox before.

As for people continuing to use three.js, yeah, I still see a lot of folks using it to build games. That whole “js everywhere” still seems to be really popular with a lot of folks.

It probably also helps that new comp sci students learning 3D graphics are often now taught using three.js instead of C++ like when I was a student.
Now that’s a funny one

With a straight face you’re going to say that in 2016 you saw a bunch of polls coming out showing trump winning?

Absolutely not. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gave him a snowflakes chance. Everyone including Silver mentioned “the greatest election landslide in history”, or some variant.

If there were polls showing trump winning they were hidden from ans downplayed in the msm. And to say anything else is a very poor lie.
Ask HN: How many of you HNers learned to program for the first time in college?
What was the experience like good and bad both? What was your first language? Would you have changed something if you were given another chance at life?
> At this point I’m starting to wonder why it isn’t more popular.

The last time I tried it, most of the "automagic" quickly turned into "do everything by hand if you don’t want to get burned, and oh, we say we handle this use case but, as obliquely mentioned in passing, you really shouldn’t use it. Also, we don’t see the point in having our CLI tool spit anything more than the most generic errors.

What? What do you mean access control? What is that?"

I ended up on Firebase.

And, on my current project, found a single-table DynamoDB to be more reliable and predictable.

But perhaps things have improved since then?
Upvoted for the 1st sentence.

A primary software at work is $1,500 to $10,000 a seat (depending on extensions) plus 10% annual maintenance. Our department annual fee is ~$70,000. I have a long list of "vote up this enhancement request or bug to get it fixed" that goes back almost two decades. (It's hard to identify the oldest because the vendor has switched tracking platforms twice.)

Thanks for the suggestion! I believe I gave enough tools and practical tips that someone can try and apply in their daily life for free and I was doing that before with my podcast too while not charging anything. I can see your concern, but I also don't see anything wrong with offering something while charging money for it. If the suggestions in my article helps at least one person to feel a little bit better and motivated to start incorporating some changes in their life, then, I accomplished my goal and I haven't charged anyone for anything. The program is optional, I didn't mention anything about it until the end after sharing my story and what helped me. But I can see your point!

Me neither (that the American version used proprietary ones), otherwise I'd have specified.
Bad UX.
Mediocre DX.

Unreliable tools.

Well they are saying there is no collusion. Companies are all individually deciding to raise prices and not bringing them down.

> I'm a tile user, and indeed they seem a bit unreliable. I got one for my wife to keep in a known location because she misplaces her phone, and it works to signal the phone maybe 4 out of 5 times.

Mobile is hard.

Google's Find My Phone fails to wake up my pixel 7 about half the time I used it, even if I am staring at the phone. Sometimes the alert goes off half an hour later.

My fitbit's "find your phone" feature also works less than half the time.

I am genuinely surprised that my wife's apple watch can locate her phone every time she asks it to.
Hi, this is unrelated, but I was trying to find the source video for Bruton Stroube - STL Jersey (2022). But I can't find it anywhere! Could you share the title of the film?

There are more than 3,000 different China A-shares that you can purchase in Hong Kong via Stock Connect. You can also purchase any Hong Kong listed shares.
ISPs and coffee shop wifi injecting ads into webpages wasn't a theoretical attack, but I'm more curious: Which barriers with HTTPS are you referring to?
Nope, those were pushed by Google, the Web is now ChromeOS.
Incidentally, the term "microcode" for the OS kernel originated with the AS/400's predecessor, the System/38, because, as a legacy of '60s-era lawsuits, it was IBM's policy at the time to separate hardware and software sales and development costs.

Bundling microcode with hardware, on the other hand, was standard practice.

The designers' idea was to build and sell the hardware and software stack as an integrated product, never to implement an operating system or RDBMS "in hardware".

For an explanation of this integrated architecture from one of its original designers, see
