I am dogfooding the tool I made for cold emails cold Nureply. Basically it helps me to do marketing for Nureply by using Nureply.

I am mostly a technical person and not the best for selling/marketing. So I built Nureply to help me meet with potential customers and learn from them directly.

> I am totally under the billing gun and I am forced to pay otherwise they will ruiny credit.

That's not how it works. You should have disputed the debt. If it was a billing mistake then you technically don't owe the money, and the charge should have been disputed. Get yourself an attorney, their fee to make the negative reports go away could be less than the bill.
I'm missing the basic premise here - it uses small jets of air to vector thrust and whatnot right ?
instead of flaps? Because fewer moving parts?

This seems like it would involve a massive number of small fans or jets, which sound like more moving parts than flaps would be.

What gives?

> This is not something I've read about casually on the internet

Was speaking specifically about your opinions on Dialyzer and Elixir. It's very much a cursory Google around and having stronger opinions about the limits of a language than people who spend time with the language.

> You've graduated from saying "I think someone more savvy with Elixir would know more."

It took further reflection on the idea. It helps to start with at least some epistemic humility, once again the crux of this thread. I'm willing to revert to, "It ought to be possible" given that macros boil down to the final generated code (including typespecs) which is then analyzed by Dialyzer

> Elixir is just as good at dependent typing as Idris, which has that feature built in?

Metaprogramming allows features to become 'built in'. e.g., being able to integrate type checking and compiler errors for HTML/XML or other DSLs.

Everything nuclear is already a massive risk, that the NRC will decide tommorow that they are feeling grumpy so your billion-dollar years-long project is canceled. Of course companies won't assume additional risk on top of that! The only way to survive is to play it as safe as possible.
If you’ve never built PDF or archive document parsing systems, you don’t know true pain.

I see it as incredible. Most PDFs that i see are basically just thin wrappers around image scans of documents that don’t exist anywhere anymore. Archives from estates, manuals, etc.

These techniques of using LLMs to clean ocr output is game changing because best in class before was human-in-the-loop systems that required huge amounts of rewriting to get useable output.

Now LLMs are unlocking for significantly cheaper previously difficult data sources for relatively cheap.
It shouldn’t matter, been through it before. Just don’t make the failure seem to be your fault.
Putting this out there. But I’ve audited a number of implementations of Signal and of close similar protocols proposed by some of the big players. Found a bug that broke Matrix e2e encryption[1]. Wrote the chapter on e2e encryption in the real world cryptography book including the only explanation of Signal in a book[2].

All I’m saying is that twitter, if you’re reading this, know that I have the blue checkmark ;) and that I’m available for pentesting your e2e encryption implementation!

Show HN: The P2P Recommendations Platform to Boost Customer Acquisition
Attracting new customers can be tough, especially for technical founders. That's why I've been thinking about the best way to help such founders, and I believe that peer-to-peer recommendations are the solution. According to Nielsen, 84% of consumers trust recommendations from family, friends, and colleagues, making peer recommendations the most trusted source of information. Wonderlink.co leverages this trust to help you reach new customers.

Why not build a marketplace where your real customers can share their purchases with friends and family and get paid for successful recommendations? Both the referrer and the new customer get rewarded, and you can decide the amount of the reward (this for sure has to be less than your CAC)

I'm still validating the idea, so it's currently free to use. All you have to do is sign up as a partner, set your terms, and let your existing customers know. Another Nielsen statistic shows that nearly 49% of customers are willing to go the extra mile to receive a discount. Help your future customers decide!

So, if you're a technical founder struggling to attract new customers, Wonderlink.co may be the answer. Sign up today and start leveraging the power of peer-to-peer recommendations to grow your business.

American universities can be more competitive than European and even Asian ones. The stories of Singaporean uni students going to Stanford on an exchange and getting caught cheating are not rare. It’s a weird contradiction, where we have the worst and best schools at the same time.
Reasonable question, although stated kind of harshly by assuming the worst. Sometimes when you know exactly what you need, it’s reasonable to just build that rather than researching all the possibilities of things that could be adapted to your problem. Fear of reinventing the wheel can be a sort of analysis paralysis where you waste a lot of time looking for an overly-generic solution you will never need. It’s a balance.
Capitalism has an answer for excess profits: competition.

It works exceedingly well, better than anything else humans have invented to handle unexpected shortages and global supply chain issues.

Governments should focus on ensuring that business environments are ripe for competition. Write laws that do not require large corporate legal teams to navigate. Thus far, we've failed on that front.

You’re mistaken in how Citadel is using math to make money. It’s not trying to decide which way a stock or bond is moving. It’s a market maker - at anytime someone can go to them and buy or sell an instrument (when no one else might want to take the other side of the deal). Citadel is using math to create the price, decide how much inventory it should keep and create hedging strategies so that it makes a profit however volatile and whatever way the market is going.
So Investopedia says inflation is "the decline of purchasing power over time":

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/inflation.asp

Now what could cause that, I wonder . . .

(Note: It's not in any way cynical for profit-seeking companies to seek profits. So they un-cynically behave just like profit-seeking companies.)
I feel it's all rooted in bad leadership. Leaders who don't understand who's actually doing the work hire more folks like them and then there is a chain reaction. Unfortunate, but true, part of most big companies.
As I understand from the article it bleeds air from the exhaust for this purpose. So I assume no more than a few valves, and a computer.

There will presumably be a slight drop in thrust, but I expect that's too small, and too short-lived to be material.

Interesting, I’m having trouble understanding how in Robinhood you are aware that you’re benefitting from the Citadel flow, how do you see/know you are getting better fills/commissions? I am not aware of how you would know Citadel is involved in your activities. Are you comparing the same trade on different platforms and see that RH is better? Could you provide an example (if you do not want to expose your trading strategies that is understandable)?
Let's take airplanes as an example.

1. Do we start calling travel agents "aviation engineers" because they use airplanes to solve problems?

2. I sure hope the engineers who build planes aren't just winging it (ba doom pssh)

3. Context matters. Scientific knowledge increases over time, but isn't there a difference between willfull and unavoidable ignorance? If an engineer from the early days of flight were transported to SpaceX today, but they ignored the math and constructed rockets that we know with certainty will not fly, but they are convinced it will work due to sheer inner conviction, that's no longer engineering imho. Even if it may have been in their time, as long as they were using the known science of their day.

> You can never go back to the day you foolishly picked CS over law school!

You can do CS and then do law school, what you can’t undo is the time you invested into building a legal career rather than a software development career after school, or vice versa. (OTOH, there’s also ways you could leverage either start into an advantage in the other career, because both are fields that reward knowledge of the application domain as well as the career field, and both are fields where the other is a legitimate application domain, so its not a total loss.)
> their fee to make the negative reports go away could be less than the bill.

If I say death to America, unironically and openly from Syria or Yemen or most of the middle east I'll absolutely get flight restricted. My example about saying that I was part of Al Qaïda was about getting droned, not just get on a no fly list.

I can't read French (shoot, scroll down to the English), but I believe he was originally invited to share his thoughts and opinions. So the audience of EPFL cared. Now, EPFL doesn't want to risk giving a platform to, or otherwise being associated with, potentially problematic speech that they do not control. I'm sure he can still be a member of the audience at EPFL, so I don't know that this is shunning, per se.

Doubling a miniscule risk. Even if true, this is orders of magnitude less consequential than the benefit gained by giving people the vaccine, instead of maintaining the blind group.
I’m not American, I never understood the credit system so I may have misunderstood it. I’ve always been a little afraid to ask, but isn’t it sort of weird that it is legal to score your citizens like that in a democracy?

I can understand the need for a registry of people who cheat or simply don’t pay back, but even that is sort of an “evil” area to me since it can trap people. But an actual credit score? That seems very dystopian.

And how do you score it? I’m a poor bank customer, I’ve almost never taken any loans, and when I did I either paid them back more quickly than the bank would’ve liked, or it was for tax benefits like with my 60% mortgage. I have savings and investments, but I manage them myself meaning that I generate no real fees of note for the institutions that house them. So technically I’m sort of a terrible customer for a bank, but I imagine my credit score would be quite high?

/Edit

Thanks for the responses. I'd like to point out that we do get scored in Denmark where I live, but it's happening when you apply for things.

When my wife and I bought our house, we submitted a range of financial records, and we also granted the bank temporary access to obtain financial information about us from places like the national tax agency and the registry of "poor lenders". Which is I guess is similar to a "credit score", but to me it's different because it is generated and accessed at a specific time, and then gone.

Maybe that's actually how the credit score works, but seeing those apps where you can see your "number" felt dystopian to me.
Exactly! I think this is why "he changed his mind" does not really sit right with me. This isn't rocket science or even some culture war contentious issue. Having sex with kids is bad, and was considered bad when he said those things and put the blame on parents for being mad that their kids got abused. If there's one thing that communists, liberals, conservatives, fascists, anarchomonarchists (lol) can all agree on is that pedophilia is bad. It's a bi/tri/partisan issue. It's not some status quo position that he just happened to defend by force of habit.

Maybe it was ok on the internet back then, but 2006 isn't that far away. So we can't even say that the cultural context was different. I'm not saying he lied when he said that it just took someone to talk him through it... But it sure is weird that a grown 40yo+ educated man didn't understand that having sex with children was bad.
I keep forgetting what the N in FAANG stands for, then remember it must be Nintendo or Netflix or something. It’s already an outdated acronym.
I’ve read the mailing list comments. The problem is that he is trying to excuse something potentially horrible without sufficient data. A far better statement IMO would be to say that I hope Minsky didn’t know of the coercion or age. Because he doesn’t know what Minsky did or didn’t know.

If you’re around criminals enough, most of them try to simultaneously deny involvement while at the same time trying to excuse the crime. I’m not saying Stallman has this criminal mentality. I don’t know. But the types of statements are similar to those we all run into. And I think this also causes people to raise red flags.
I always check the bill, in the particular the medical coding - I've very very very rarely seen one that was coded correctly.

When I complain they offer me a "courtesy credit". Or I don't complain and just don't pay since if they can't be bothered to bill me correctly, I can't be bothered to pay.

So yah, admin mistakes. Deliberate ones.

Insurance just pays, they don't check the coding as carefully (how could they, they were not at the appointment).

An extremely common "mistake" (up-coding) is increasing the length of the Dr. visit up a level or two. Take a watch with you, and check how long the Dr. was actually present with you, then check the coding. (And paperwork and nurse time is built in, so it's not necessary to account for that when checking.)

They'll also bill for services they talked about, but didn't actually do.

And they'll code separately for a service that's supposed to be bundled with another code.

I've seen every one of these.
Is that true?

Small farms benefit from greater attention and incentives of their owners.
I’m not convinced almost anyone does this successfully. The people founding startups are able to do so because they have a big enough safety net to obviate a need for full-time employment. Sometimes this is from savings or luck from a previous job, but anecdotally it most often stems from inheriting money from rich families.
I got my first FAANG job at 45 years old. So I’m not really sure what they mean here.
Bizarre that the "fix" for congressional limits on a regulated statutory body are to privatise it: you'd think the fix was to get the congressional limits out, and fund it properly as an independent, regulated statutory body.
This is great - we needed a model where we're sure it won't reproduce someone's code with an incompatible license.
Without getting into any real details about US credit scores, how would you determine risk on say giving someone a car loan? You’d want to know that the person has 5 previous repossessions right? A credit score tells you that. Without some type of score (in the abstract sense), you’d have no way of determining risk.
Yuuuup. Like the above poster said, conservatives have gone way off the deep end…to the point where sometimes it’s really ducking hard to talk in any sort of neutral tone.

I read a lot of Reuters during the trump admin and boy you could hear their tone subtly slip the whole time and when the election results were being contested, journalists everywhere were straight up calling it baseless and inflammatory. Not very neutral but also just facts. And at some point, trying to sound neutral no matter the circumstances is going to sound insane.
