Kind of have to agree with this sentiment. The UN is toothless and while the idea was good, I believe it has failed in practice. That isn't to say we should just scrap the whole thing as there really isn't an alternative, even though I believe it will eventually be abandoned.

It does seem like the golden age of international co-operation is at an end and more and more countries are becoming insular, entering conflict or creating factions with specific neighbours.
HP+ is different than Instant Ink. HP+ is required to use the printer, but does not cost money.

Instant Ink is an optional subscription, which they plainly state, and that costs money.

I would totally be a hoarder if it were not for the fact the local government gives us 6 cube metres of "free" curb side bulk rubbish pick up each year. If you don't use them, you lose them.

Obviously I'm paying for these through council tax rates so I make a point of using them up.

These give me a chance to, and crucially, force me to make decisions about junk to get rid of.

Another part of the hoarder condition is that often stuff you board does actually become useful again, I'm regularly coming across things in the house that need fixing or batteries replaced and a quick look around the workshop or in the dedicated junk draws and I can usually find the thing I need. This reinforces the habit.

But back to my point, can I suggest you supply your mom with a rubbish pick up a few times a year, rent a trailer or skip and drop it off to be filled for taking to the dump.

The time based urgency should help make some decisions.

I also wouldn't have let her wait to look that up, I would have looked it up on the spot. Putting things off is a good way to lose the war.
For some reason it really irks me that they are using the word defect. It's like they forgot that the rules/model we set follow what happens in reality. If there is a defect, it's not in spacetime, it's in our understanding.

Oh, wow! This is the creator of Glypha (https://boredzo.org/glypha/). I spent countless hours playing that game in the mid-ish 90's. Like so many games back then, you could tweak things with ResEdit. Nobody would believe my high score because they knew i could modify it.

"The DfT is also considering the cost of replacing or upgrading some on-train wifi equipment installed in the middle of the last decade, and whether passengers on shorter journeys use their own mobile phones or data rather than connecting to an operator’s wifi."

Well, based on my experience dealing with in-train coverage both working at a telco and as a traveler, if their hardware was deployed nearly ten years ago, then it is quite likely that their passengers _are_ using their own data plans instead of it.

According to research a few months later by the same people (https://d3cez36w5wymxj.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/202...), internet access seems to be valued as very important for modern travel:

> Improved internet and mobile connectivity on trains enhances rail’s
competitive advantage over other modes of travel and could also be instrumental in delivering the type of real-time information that passengers
want.
> Our railways are currently not financially sustainable

I have raised this issue before, let me rehash it. Railways is probably the worst mode of travel in the history of mankind. I have not found any examples of large scale, passenger railway that is a sustainable business.

But people continue to hype it up and it's always "Let's spend more billions of other people's stolen money into this, it will definitely work out then!". It is never "Let me invest billions of my own money into this railways system."

If something has never worked, it is unlikely to start working now, unless you change the economics fundamentally. I haven't seen that in any system. The wastage is immense, and the money is better spent on things that actually provide more value for less cost.

To conclude, they should remove the entire railways instead of removing wifi from the trains.
Yes, these are used by mainstream commercial AI thingies. But they are not their only sources. Plus they have armies of people preparing and cleaning this data, are you ready to employ one?

Sounds like you have had an fascinating career. I dunno, but maybe the world need two types of engineers; ones motivated by good code and ones motivated by money.

I wonder though if you can develop a superb product and company with just money alone. In a way you probably need evangelists rather than just hired guns.

In my experience as a product manager, the evangelists are much more creative than the hired guns. You can throw lots of money toward the development of a product but that doesn’t mean you’ll get innovative solutions from your team.

You need a mix of believers as well as hired guns.
Thanks for the pointer! I'll have to see if I can get that working. Last I looked at this stuff, I didn't understand oauth as well as I do now. (Which, I'm sure is still not perfect. Is an improvement, though.)

The more likely scenario is that Russia would rather detonate a nuke in Ukraine than lose the war, regardless of what NATO's response would be.

Having Ukraine become an official NATO base of operations is that dangerous to Russia, especially if it happens after they were just conclusively beaten in a war. It would obviously soon mean NATO support for separatists in Russian states directly, and the end of the federation.

I believe you when you say there is interesting tech running the site, but I couldn't find evidence of it in a few minutes of clicking around. So there's not much for me to engage with. A blog post explaining how the tech works might get more interest here.

I tried a demo quiz on studywand, but it seemed worse than typical manually generated quizzes. Here's an example:

Q: "What is the principle behind operant conditioning?"
A... is a process of gradually increasing the intensity of aversive stimuli in order to reduce their impact on a person's emotional state.
B... operant conditioning is the technique used to reinforce positive behaviors and punish unwanted behaviors.
C... is a plan that the therapist and client create together.

You could know nothing about psychology and choose B because it's the only one that's an answer to a question of that form. A good quiz question tests for a more precise understanding.

If the tech is doing something that couldn't be done before, you should draw our attention to it!
Speaking as a person who learned the basics of Vim from vimtutor, a friendly UI can reduce friction. Newer interfaces can also teach very useful commands at the start, making navigation much easier.

I was moderately curious about Vim but didn't really need to use the tool, but eventually after many months, I got curious enough to start and complete vimtutor. The introduction to vimtutor says it should take 30 minutes, but it took me 1.5-2 hours over two days while also making notes after the exercises to better remember the lessons (in my case, my approach to vimtutor worked, as I use Vim nearly every day for personal notes to keep practicing).

However, I put off vimtutor for months because it looked like work. While completing vimtutor, the process of completion also felt like work. A more friendly UI like the submitted article can help people easily get started and increase completion rates, which makes it easier to pick up the skill.

I didn't check if the submitted article does this, but newer interactive Vim tutor projects can also teach commands that I believe are essential to reducing the friction of using Vim. For example, throughout vimtutor I spammed jjjjjj to get down and did the same with k to go up, but only later found out that Ctrl+B & Ctrl+F (go back or forward a half-screen) or Ctrl+U & Ctrl+D (go up or down a full screen) were far easier ways to scroll, or at least 4k or 4j (four lines up or four lines down). This makes Vim much more pleasant to use, and makes it far easier to navigate through a file.

Still, I agree that vimtutor is great as it's free and in the console, but is room to make the introduction more friendly. $15 seems pretty steep, though, especially as there are other free alternatives out there to make it easier to learn Vim (at the very least, video tutorials and written guides).
It is the national median though, which completely loses the fine-grained detail built into the national poverty statistics that adjust for cost of living at the state level.

I don't think I would actually say the federal metric itself is particularly useful, but so much existing data depends on it that it seems crazy to reinvent the meaning of what the poverty line is for one specific study.
It's like Matrix, but from the 70s.
> The sacrifices don't always pay off.

The cynic in me wants to really say, typically the sacrifices never pay off.

My example time:

Company I was working for planned a promo on July 4th. This promo was in collaboration with a GIANT sports brand. Think of the most known sports brand (not sportswear) in the world. No real testing in our QA env due to (some reason I can't remember).

Day of promo (July 4th) I get a frantic call "IT'S NOT WORKING."

I spend my July 4th, stopped in my tracks right before I'm about to head out the door to the lake with some friends fixing a bug in this promo.

My reward for doing frantic work to save probably 3 peoples assess above me even when I wasn't on call? "thanks"

Not even the basic 2.5x daily rate that is mentioned in our company handbook.

All this to say: The sacrifices hardly ever pay off in my mind.

It depends on the building. A three story brick & concrete building may be able to handle a data center on the top floor. As you get into the 80 floor skyscrapers you're getting into buildings where you have to start worrying about exactly how they wave in the wind, something I don't tend to think about at all. Trying to stick a datacenter on the 75th floor there may be a noticeably bad idea. Scale isn't just an issue for programmers.

"The lack of money is the root of all evil." - Mark Twain.

Nothing good can truly develop consolidating a large community of poor in specific areas. The poor can't lift up the poor. The only ones who benefit are those exploiting them which are mainly politicians. Start requiring politicians, company executives and anyone else advocating for massive immigration to house immigrants in their own homes and communities. No more dumping them in specific zones anymore. Make them own managing lifting up the poor.
A number of people have recommended good books. So i'll maybe drop a few pieces of advice that I've learned while managing a diverse group of ~35 people.

* Listen to the people who report to you. They aren't always right, but they often are, and if they are pushing back then there is a good chance that they might be seeing something you don't.

* Much of leadership is about communication. And much of communication is about planning. And much of planning is about knowing and understanding all the components of the problem you're trying to solve. So cultivate a deep understanding of your people, their talents, your business, your boss, and spend time thinking about how to best optimize all those things.

* Its hard to lead in an area where you don't some expertise. You don't have to be the best, but you shouldn't be a slouch in the subject matter either. In order to earn respect you'll need to be able to understand what you're being told by your team, and you'll need to be able to articulate why you are making certain decisions, and that is seriously difficult if you don't have a good understanding of the domain.

* Good task management and organization is remarkably similar to good distributed systems architecture. Teams should be organized so that communication and integration dependencies are minimized, because communication overhead grows logarithmically as the number of people who need to be informed increases.

not nearly a complete list... but a start maybe. good luck! good leaders/managers are a scarce resource.

Ask HN: AI-generated podcast-like newsletter digest
Hi HN,

I'm in search of a particular type of service or application, with a specific set of capabilities:

1/ The ability to generate a unique email address for each user (e.g., <user-id>@<service.app>).
2/ Allows the user to subscribe to various newsletters, such as tldr.tech or morningbrew.com, using this email address.
3/ The service should then be able to receive these newsletters and create a digest using AI technologies (like GPT-3.5-Turbo, LLaMa, or anything similar).
4/ It should be able to convert this digest into a short podcast for the day or week using a Text-To-Speech engine (for instance, something like this: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS).
5/ Lastly, it should provide a voice/text prompt for asking questions within the news digest context.

I would be grateful for any recommendations or guidance you could provide. Thank you in advance.
It's not just about time-to-sleep, it's about sleep quality.

My only suggestion would be to fully go off of caffeine and rate your sleep quality off of caffeine.

I went years of drinking caffeine. So much so, that I had forgotten what deep sleep really felt like until finally removing caffeine from my daily routine.

It's a massive difference in sleep quality. With caffeine, the sleep is superficial. I get up to urinate a lot more. Lighter sounds can wake me up.

Without caffeine, I find myself sleeping so deeply, that my body stays in the same position, and I can wake up to tension in certain areas because I haven't moved for hours. The deep sleep feels amazing.
The original title is 'I'm Making Thousands Using AI to Write Books', and I think that kinda says it all. Especially when you apply the obvious reading of "thousands", which turns into "nearly $2,000" in the text.

He says he sold 574 books (by which I think he means "copies"), or approximately 6 copies per book, at about $4 each. Given that he says he works 6-8 hours on each book, he's making less than minimum wage.

Clearly he's hoping to expand that with this article, but it seems clear to me that it only gets worse, not better. If he can do it, others can do it. And I suspect that most of those 574 copies were sold as "look what AI can do" rather than "I want to read that book", a novelty that will quickly wear off.

Maybe one of these days an AI will crank out a book with some kind of engagement. Human authors don't really know how it's done; it seems to strike them as magic, too. Popular authors know that their books will sell, but that usually has more to do with people going on their previous successes. A great many authors are turning out great material every day that just never manages to catch on, amidst the flood of crud. Automating the crud-generation process doesn't seem to benefit anybody -- not even this guy, who could earn more as a barista.
The wonder of the single market, innit.

> I feel you should be able to tap a comment to expand, rather than just swipe

One frustration that I had with existing apps is collapsing a subtree by accident when tapping the upvote button. I feel like it would be even more frustrating with how my app works, it'd just expand/collapse if you miss the hitbox.

> Also it’d be neat if you just kept the new scroll position when expanding rather than scrolling back

The issue with that is that if you expand a subtree, scroll way way down and then collapse, your scroll position will be so far away from the initial node that you'd get lost.

> The orange flashes when navigating back are distracting. Just use the default system behaviour here (grey)

I'll add an ability yo choose the color in the Settings.

> If you tap the active tab (both in the heading and tab bar), it should scroll to the top

Nice idea, I'll add that.
a venture capitalist would ask this exact question

Yes. I was traveling and staying in a house that had no printer. To print I would load PDFs onto a flash drive and drive to FedEx Office. It didn't cost much but it was quite a hassle.

In my own house a printer is a must have item.

Always love to see people tinkering with their own languages. Everyone should write a language, at least once in their life :)

Skimmed through the docs. On the first look, the syntax seems to be a blend of Go and Rust.

Was confused by this sentence [0], perhaps some additional explanation/code example could help:

When a value has ownership, it can be stored and used anywhere. But you can only store it in one place.

Aside from that, I'd really like to know about

2) memory management techniques

As those are the most interesting aspects of any C-like language to me.

US bomb designed to hit targets like underground nuclear sites briefly reappears
Got news for you. Being a good leader or manager doesn’t come natural to anyone out of the gate. Sure some people have certain advantageous traits, but they probably aren’t what you think they are. For instance, you might assume charisma and confidence are important, but they can backfire and leave your reputation in tatters if you don’t have a high level of foundational knowledge and experience-honed judgement. The actual ingredients to a leadership personality are more subtle and something a young person is often ill-equipped to judge in themselves. Don’t box people in.
You will own nothing and you'll be happy :D
But this study doesn't say the opposite. It fails to show an effect. That's different from proving the absence of an effect.

This was my first thought, jaded as I am from bad scientific reporting (such as the linked article) which doesn’t distinguish between these two cases, so I had a look at the actual study.

In this case, it looks like the 95% confidence interval just barely overlaps the null hypothesis, however the mean effect favors placebo:

The mixed-effects model showed no evidence of effect of group assignment on post-infusion MADRS scores at 1 to 3 days post-infusion (-5.82, 95% CI -13.3 to 1.64, p=0.13).

(See also figure 2, which clarifies the direction of effect.)

So, potential methodological issues aside, I’d actually consider this evidence against a strong benefit relative to placebo, and possibly very weak evidence of harm.
yeah, that might be a good idea.
