Hey guys,

I'm launching a new service that allow people to create their own landing pages in seconds using AI. We also provide built-in tools like waiting list, billing integration, etc..

The goal is to help you put your business online as fast as possible. It's really useful for entrepreneurs that wants to try their next idea. Or for an established business that wants to go online without the hassle of programming a website.

A free demo is available on the website.

Please try it out and let me know if you have any feedback!
> Do I need to talk to actual potential users?

IMHO, that's step 1. Interview people you think are your target. You should be able to understand the following:

- What their pain points are
- How they currently solve them

It's key to validate your startup idea and envision the product.
This is great, would be useful to be able to point it at any domain.
A few years ago I had to work with an obscure 90's era embedded microcontroller with a proprietary language and IDE, and a serial adapter based programmer and debugger. The IDE sucked, and programming would fail 9 times out of 10, but at least the debugger was solid.

By complete chance, I happened to interview someone that had, "wrote the debugger for that obscure microcontroller back in the 90's," tucked away in their resume. It was hard not to spend the entire interview session just picking their brain for anecdotes about it.
> Can someone remind me why Apple is so anti-VM in seemingly every instance?

Apple is primarily a hardware company. If people are using VMs then they're not buying hardware.
If only there were a way to directly donate to the development of Firefox similar to this.
My usage of VR comes and goes over time, often based on some trigger like an update to a VR game or a friend pulling me into a new game. This also describes my usage of VR: gaming. I enjoy playing Beat Saber, Until You Fall and Pistol Whip. A friend pulled me into After The Fall for a bit and it was also great.

I also tried other things, but gaming, and especially the first three games, are what I come back to at least semi-regularly.

That’s not intentional though, it’s just that their hardware hasn’t been that successful.

Unfortunately, a lot of farm-raised fish are fed smaller fish from natural ecosystems, effectively shifting but maintaining the overfishing problem.

If you care about omega-3 (you probably should) without contributing to overfishing (again, imho you probably should), get an algal-oil based supplement. Prices are pretty competitive nowadays.
I don't know much Lisp, but your code is wonderfully readable! Great job!

To add regarding the signatures and portability, Mastodon at least signs its posts with JSON-LD signatures. They're in the downloaded archive I got from mastodon.social when I moved off it, for example. So is the key required to validate them.

The only thing missing there to make this better - and this is not an ActivityPub thing - is including those JSON-LD signatures in more contexts, so that you don't need to rely on the export functionality (of Mastodon) to get an archive, allowing clients to choose to keep a local copy (or nominate someone to back it up for them), and providing an upload functionality for posts (Mastodon doesn't do this, but that's also a Mastodon thing, not an ActivityPub thing).

I wouldn't have had an issue if they added extensions to ActivityPub. There are even things Mastodon refuses to add that I'd applaud people for forcing the issue on by adding extensions to support. But their choice to reinvent everything puts me off.
Why do we care about the centralized authority part so much? There are a lot of problem domains where zero trust is not desirable or understood to be a fool's errand.

In a B2B setting where you have 3 parties working together on an integration project wherein 2 parties are B2B vendors and the 3rd is a B2C org, where does the centralization reside? What about vendors of the B2B vendors? I honestly don't know what we are getting at with this word anymore.

If we were to apply something like SQL Server w/ Ledger tables (i.e. centralized blockchain) to this kind of problem in my shop, we would almost certainly find a solution that all parties would find agreeable. This forces you to trust 1-2 parties (i.e. Microsoft themselves), but in the above we agree that for many (most?) areas this may likely be explicitly desirable. There are also technologies (again, centralized) that provide non-repudiation through the hosting layer itself. Example of this being something like Azure Confidential Ledger.

The part where this seems to get frustrating for people is the desired crystalline & immediate nature of the system. If you operate with the tiniest amount of extra flexibility you can get so much more done - E.g. perhaps the business can review a data tamper event tomorrow with their partners on the phone.
Would be good to be able to point at any domain, a common issue with debugging cert stuff is working out which cert is being presented, TLS level, cipher suites etc are being negotiated.

Technically it's possible, but possibly not legal:

> Please ensure you have read and understood the Xcode license terms before continuing.

According to the EULA you may only use the SDK on Apple-branded computers. But you can use Linux to cross compile to Apple.

Do the Visual Studio build tools have more permissive license terms? AFAIK you can have clang-cl on Linux, but you do need a lot of the SDK for it to be useful. No experience there.
> Five years ago we would have used Medium without a second thought, but we moved away from it as it became less and less usable.

Similar to Medium but developer-friendly, you could use dev.to or Hashnode
I doubt it but that would be nice.
React with TypeScript: Free Tutorial by Matt Pocock
I enjoy reading docs from Algolia and Stripe. Both are educative and visually stunning.
Exactly same here (6-7 hard workouts per week - running, free weights, climbing, weekends spent on long hikes, ski touring etc), but evaporation of workout was mainly due to covid and WFH, and becoming parent (that's a proper black hole for any free time, even if you are unemployed). Also 2 pretty bad injuries last year (wrist and ankle). It got me pretty depressed and I am not yet out of woods completely.

If you find these kind of passions in life, corporate work world is just necessary evil distraction to get money to actually live and do what you want. Which I am fine with, but around me I see very few people with similar passions in their lives.

One dangerous thing I noticed - with diminishing number of trainings, my mindset also changed a bit. Getting motivation for workouts got harder, motivation to push myself a bit is lower. I actually could find more time if I tried harder. At least it goes both ways - increasing frequency brings it back, which is great now since I can run outside in the forest and it gets dark later.
You worry worts don’t realize you already live in the scenario you describe. Didn’t a country last year have all it’s dollars seized? Every financial power / data you have is a judge signature’s away from being taken already.

CBDCs offer benefits, and the downsides we already deal with. The digital money we transact with now is just as “antifreedumb” as you make CBDCs to be.
I think one could do with far less if things were optimised for nutrient retention (including human waste which often isn't allowed in many places).
In fact I think it's easy to produce enough for a person on far less than 1 hectare in my experience assuming one's climate is somewhat fitting. My tiny backyard produced more than I could eat last year albeit with barely any space for me to walk between the plants. It's doing it long term without fertiliser/manure that's difficult.
This site is fetched twice, once by your browser, and another time by the JS code after you press the button. For example the JS loader specifies that only one cipher suite is to be used (TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 ), while your browser will definitely support more than one. Any additional traffic is again fetched by your browser.
I have the same setup and it usually works nicely with ARC, but it all depends on the specific products and models you use, for example most TV's will remember the last use HDMI (or else I get an emergency phone call to fix that)
I would use Evolution if it didn't look and feel like the version found in early GNOME 2 Ubuntu, when they still used to ship installation CDs for free.

Aesthetics is as important a feature as supporting IMAP or having decent search. Which is why I'm still stuck with Fastmail's webmail, because neither Evolution nor Thunderbird seem to satisfy these criteria.

Glutamine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamine :

> Glutamine is synthesized by the enzyme glutamine synthetase from glutamate and ammonia. The most relevant glutamine-producing tissue is the muscle mass, accounting for about 90% of all glutamine synthesized. Glutamine is also released, in small amounts, by the lungs and brain. [20] Although the liver is capable of relevant glutamine synthesis, its role in glutamine metabolism is more regulatory than producing, since the liver takes up large amounts of glutamine derived from the gut.

Out of all the monthly subscriptions I have, YouTube Premium is by far my favourite. I don’t see an issue with paying for something I use so much everyday.

Let’s be real, at this point YouTube is too big to fail. Without Google’s capital it would be impossible to do this at scale. Also I would much rather support Google and independent creators rather than Netflix and the entertainment industry.
> Most people believe that polygraphs have some amount of validity

They have a much higher rate of false positive than false negative. That makes them useful in circumstances where your primary concern is, say, eliminating risky hires for jobs accessing sensitive data -- you may lose lots of good candidates, but your concern isn't fairness.
Yes. Indeed. I am working on this for investing. Where I believe the value proposition is the strongest.
They either stop working or they're vulnerable to a double spend attack. Until the servers come back and processing payments continues, there's no way to know if your customer has already spent the crypto they're supposedly transferring to you or not. Double spend attacks have been used in some scams already where the payment system didn't wait for the payment to make it to what becomes the "right" chain (validation takes up to 1½ hours with Bitcoin, depending on how many blocks the payment provider waits before assuming the transaction succeeded).

You don't need to take down the entire internet to sabotage cryptocurrency either. Many cryptocurrencies rely on a few key validation servers as running and processing the entire block chain all the time becomes very resource intensive as crypto gains popularity. A strategic attack on only a relatively small amount of servers (8000 in the case of ethereum and all coins using that blockchain) can DoS many cryptocurrencies worldwide. Furthermore, over 46% of Ethereum's servers are controlled by two parties, so if a government can seize those companies it's likely capable of doing a 51% attack to sabotage many cryptocurrencies used on exchanges today.

I doubt there's any risk of sabotage in practice, but like most digital payment methods, this stuff only works if there's an internet connection.

Its trivial to get ChatGPT to reason about things:

Me: A room contains a blue box and a red box. Alice stands on the red box. Bob also stands on a box. No box has multiple people standing on it. Which box is Bob stood on?

ChatGPT: There are two boxes in the room: a blue box and a red box. Alice is standing on the red box, so Bob must be standing on the blue box. Therefore, Bob is standing on the blue box.

Me: Add a green box to the room. Which box is bob standing on?

ChatGPT: If a green box is added to the room, then there are now three boxes: a blue box, a red box, and a green box. Since Alice is still standing on the red box, we know that Bob must be standing on either the blue box or the green box. We cannot determine which one Bob is standing on without additional information.

Precisely. If you're in an executive position at a company, you're an "insider" pretty much 100% of the time so you have no choice but to sign up for a trading plan that dumps stock on a regular basis regardless of the price.

And the reason why his sales grow is likely because his stockpile of vested equity has grown over time, so selling "10% of holding" is going to go up every year.

> 1. It doesn't have one main open source IDE like Octave/Rstudio that you can drop in and play around in. (you can see plots docs repl workspace)

It's looking like VS Code (julia-vscode.org) will be the equivalent, and it's gotten a good chunk of the way towards that - "plots docs repl" are all existing features and pretty easy to use. The docs [1] show a "Workspace" feature too. There's also some integration with tools like JET.jl [2] so that there's in-editor code analysis and diagnostics.

(And the extension works in VS Codium as well, so you can go completely FOSS if that's your wish.)

The flood began years ago with low-priced ghostwriting services.

I'd venture to say that most of the non-fiction ebooks, and especially the best-sellers for Kindle, are published by multi-nom-de-plume "grindset" publishers.

In 2017, a 10,000-word "booklet" on any non-fiction topic cost $200. That usually took about ten days from order to completion. The content was pretty much the same you'd now get via LLMs.
It’s a personal take, I believe in nowadays tech you can pretty much access anything, anywhere, anytime, and that’s before the whole chatgpt/LLM/generative AI/etc. where you can have a fully customizable assistant at your fingertips at any field. I also believe such communities will eventually be a source of distraction (aka drama) once they get large enough, because we are humans and these types of dynamics are bound to happen. To some, maybe it’s a source of motivation or inspiration as they need that extrinsic motivations.
I don't wanna make assumptions, but this sounds like you're probably not American. Americans are completely inundated with spam calls every day. It is hard for me as a European to imagine this kind of life, but that's what it is like for them.

As a result, I as a European cannot fathom how one can even live a life with a phone in America, while for Americans it's unfathomable that we would actually use our phones as phones by answering calls.

Holding onto a contract but I'm a bit burned out after 10 years in the industry and was considering sabbatical.

I hope you find a chair somewhere soon, but tbh it feels like most of us will have to drastically rethink viability of our careers in coming years if not immediately. It comes for us all, its just a question of time...
That's a pretty cool idea; now I'm thinking of other "logging" clocks, e.g. one that will plot the current temperature or other environmental factors on a strip of paper over the course of a year, producing an annual receipt like the github commit visualisation. It doesn't even need to be checked every year, it could have enough paper and storage in it to log decades, assuming an infinite pen or long-lasting thermal paper; perforations might also work, but in that case, having monthly or annual punch cards would be cool as well, like one of these player piano books.
IMO, the problem is that the people who created nftables (and the "ip" tool) couldn't create a user interface that anyone but themselves would like to use. Linux traffic shaping functionality suffers from the same "obscure word soup" interface.
> There's nothing special in RME regarding its USB operation.

It's USB Audio that is special.

> iPad can emit material with different sampling rate (haven't verified different bit depth, but I guess, there should be no issues),

Core Audio is a component of iPadOS and iOS, and along with Core Audio comes everything Core Audio can do.

Is there an example or anecdote you have in mind of a platform meddling with mixing?

It's really USB Audio that is performing these miracles.

If by "survive" you mean "age and die leaving nothing behind", then sure.

But the same is true for an ant.
if a small piece of code depends on a few big, complex packages then depending on how things work out, due to the JIT model, you might have needed to essentially recompile all these dependencies at runtime every time. now there are increasingly better precompilation tools to avoid this.
the thing is that you need additional CPU power to compress and decompress that data, maybe that is not much by today standards, but when accumulated it could be a significant number

I'm not sure if you're saying that 1-indexed arrays are counterintuitive, but if you are, my experience has been that 0-indexed arrays are more counterintuitive to non-programmers, since most people count or make ordered lists starting at 1.

A few years ago, I worked in a neuroimaging research lab and taught some basic Python programming to quite a few research assistants with psych degrees. At the time, a scientific computing or intro to programming course wasn't part of the psych curriculum at the university that the lab was. 0-indexed arrays were often a big sticking point. It just didn't mesh with their intuition.

For example, if `len(some_list)` returned 2, they would try to get the last value with `some_list[2]` and then get confused. Or for another example, if they used `for i in range(n)`, they'd be confused when `i` didn't start at 1 and end at n. They eventually caught on and learned further syntax such as `some_list[-1]` for getting the last value in a list. But, it was a bit of a frustrating experience for both them and myself because I only had time to teach them the basics and some google-fu as well as give them some example code. While 0-indexing was a source of a lot of their bugs in the beginning, I learned that the best method for them to get the hang of it was to encourage them to do a lot of print debugging, which was more than adequate for any scripts they'd be writing. They just really needed more feedback from what they wrote and what it actually did to get a better grasp of the idiosyncrasies of programming vs. their intuition.

Side note: The frustration of teaching non-techies Python was nothing compared to teaching them LaTeX. I was luckily able to eventually convince the PI to adopt Overleaf and organizing the text into separate files and using `\include` or `\input` to reduce the headache of collaborative writing as well as move all the internal docs to markdown. The latter became a huge help when we eventually moved to Jupyter notebooks for a lot of our python-related scripts as the team members already became adept enough with markdown. It was also easier to teach everyone how to use pandoc for making pretty PDFs of the internal docs or converting their markdown drafts into LaTeX.

It's possible that AI will make lies and propaganda easier, but we're already seeing plenty of people falling for obvious lies and clickbait.

As a simple example, just look at how in the USA, inventor of the internet, QAnon has gained zealous, violent supporters, over a bunch of intentionally cryptic messages and literal keyboard mashing to form a "code".

Look at the Reddit frontpage for an example of how easily people will believe the supposed context provided with a video. It usually takes hours for someone to actually check and comment "actually, this is a video from 2009 from another country" somewhere way down the bottom of the discussion thread. In private chat groups, this type of checking is almost entirely absent.

Why bother using AI when you can take an old video, add a title referring to a recent event, and spreading it around on social media? Good AI is expensive, lies are cheap.
