I've used this opportunity to look at some recent init files.

Here's one of the first I stumbled upon.

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/...

It's 288 lines long; the LSB dependency nonsense is 8 lines of that.

Then I looked up one for Postgres;

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Lsb_conforming_init_script

This one is a whooping 356 lines long, LSB is again about 10 lines long, depending whether you count the header or not.

I don't think the "LSB dependency" argument holds water.

I am in a similar situation in a EU country, where I just live and pay taxes to, my income comes from a company located in another country.

The inefficiencies of the country where I live and the quasi-xenophobic sentiment towards foreigners (mostly Americans foreigners) made me decide to plan to leave.

I agree with your points, and I think that Canada will have to work smartly to retain those people otherwise they’ll end up leaving.
Nurses unions have advocated in the US for policies like Medicare-for-all (single payer health care), so it’s not just possible but plausible. It would help them too (simplifying insurance makes nurses lives easier), but that’s equally true for many consumer protection bills in the tech space.

noob here too, but I wanted to share what I found in one of the descriptions (“The bedroom”, which I chose while skimming through the thumbnails after reading your comment):

“The rules of perspective seem not to have been accurately applied throughout the painting, but this was a deliberate choice. Vincent told Theo in a letter that he had deliberately ‘flattened’ the interior and left out the shadows so that his picture would resemble a Japanese print”
Who said anything about slight? Assume your average commute is 1 hour each way. According to most HN users, the average dev can’t do more than 3-4 hours of “intense focus” work per day. Instead of paying you for “10” hours of being in the office and commuting to, I’d pay you for 3-4 hours of “intense focused” work. That’s 50%, being generous.

But cynicism gets you nowhere.
I've found the best way to recycle iPhones is to find a family/friend who has an older phone than me, and gift it to them as a new phone!

Sometimes this triggers a chain reaction where the person I gifted the phone ends up gifting the phone they're replacing to someone else (usually someone switching from Android, or someone with an even older iPhone).

Technically each pass down of the used phone is causing another phone to come out of service (and/or gifted again), but from an environmental standpoint this helps reduce demand for new phones since the people who received the gifted phones probably won't buy a new one for at least a couple additional years.

I respect what the author is getting at -- Pixar movies sometimes favor adult expectations instead of being kids movies and get stuck somewhere between. I can agree to an extent, I felt Soul was really guilty of this.

But the author is a victim of the same mistake. If kids like the movie it's a kids movie. I think Soul is barely for kids at all but if kids like it, it's a kids movie. Letting an adult decide what a kids movie truly is is just ignoring kids in a different way.

They also seem to think producing a handful of some of the most influential movies of all time makes Pixar not a masterpiece factory, as if their weak efforts somehow make their better efforts less valuable. And finally I won't hear Coco disrespected like that, Inside Out is overrated sure, but Coco is the same caliber of film as Ratatouille.
> At first glance, it looks like those measures will only serve to devalue the tech salaries even more (already at a considerable discount over US ones) and make the housing situation even worse

That's exactly the point, but they call it "addressing a skills shortage" and there is a huge entrenched interest in keeping the property bubble going higher and higher. Mortgage rates should be slaughtering house prices, more scarcity is the only way to keep them high.
Glad to see this is finally coming out in main stream media. Its been well known for decades among the so called "conspiracy theorists". Same thing with pesticide/herbicide being endocrine disrupting and cancer causing chemicals. Hopefully this type of thing start to get as much visibility and legislation as the so called "climate crisis" does.
Who/what are you replying to?
I think you severely underestimate not only how long effects can take to show, but how long and complicated it can be to fund good long term scientific studies.

There's this belief that if something has an effect, it'll just show up magically on the news after the minimum amount of time, without taking into account all the hurdles people have to go through to research. Even if you didn't have powerful companies with interests against the research being published, it would be complicated.
For what it's worth, replacement batteries can often be had for $20-30, maybe a bit more with tools included. For example: https://www.ifixit.com/products/google-pixel-2-battery-genui...

Of course it's a bit more involved for a device that wasn't intended to have a user-replaceable battery, but it's almost always possible.

Alternatively, even with a dead battery, you can probably plug it into the wall to boot it up and wipe all your data, and then sell it for maybe $30 to $40 on eBay. There's lots of folks out there who will buy phones cheap and either refurbish them themselves, or else just use them tethered for software development, IoT projects, etc.

How much land do they own to host their power-hungry servers?
Yeah, turns out I missed that part of the video. So the author, in fact, knew that minimax approximation is a thing, however he only tried to do it by hand! It's a bit silly to try to optimize a polynomial for minimizing the maximum error and then complain when the result predictably does worse in a completely different metric. What he should have tried is taking some tool for minimax approximation, like Sollya (Remez-based, also offers other functionality), and then try too look for a minimax that would additionally satisfy his other constraints. Sollya allows a weighted approximation, so he could have tried constraining the polynomial to specifically be more accurate around zero, π/2 and π. NB: My WIP package will be even more flexible than Sollya's remez and offer more direct ways to specify such constraints, due to the completely different approach.
Big numbers, big savings.

“Each year our Australian operations use roughly 1,500 mega litres of diesel in over 1,000 pieces of equipment,” said vice president of planning and technical minerals Australia Anna Wiley.

That’s likely deliberate and quite sensible, as elevating one of the existing four would probably cause disunity.

Something similar happened at the creation of the modern Indonesian state. Rather than elevating e.g. Javanese, they imported Malay as the neutral foundation of the Indonesian language.

Looking at the paper it uses Gallium, Indium and tin - not particularly abundant metals (yes, tin as well).

Global annual production of Gallium in particular is ~770 tonnes - about a fifth of the amount of gold mined.

The element is found largely in bauxite at a concentration of 50ppm, so recovering it is an involved affair.

Show HN: AI + Apple Music, search 100M+ tracks with natural language prompts
Hi HN!

We’re a group of electronic music artists and PhD researchers working in AI music.

We've been working on a project to help us discover new music in a more musically objective way, called Speak Music:

https://speakmusic.sonophase.com/

We recently presented at Sonar+D in Barcelona.

We’ve trained an AI model to understand the correspondence between music and language, combining a machine listening system for audio signal processing with transformers for text embeddings. Once trained, we index a huge catalogue of unseen audio, so that the search system can efficiently scale to millions of tracks.

At the moment, our model is optimised for our preferred music; electronic, techno, ambient and relaxing music. We’re currently fine-tuning to handle all kinds of genres and moods.

Our model handles two types of discovery: (a) natural language search and (b) similarity search.

(a) Speak: search for music using freeform natural language prompts, describing the mood, aesthetic, texture, setting and context of a track.

(b) Music: discover tracks that are acoustically similar to ANY reference track from Apple Music.

We hope you like it. Let us know what you think!
Imo it’s not just that Up sucks without the first 10 min, it’s that the last 90% of the movie is aimless, emotionless, and feels unnecessary. Like the first 10 min should have been a pre-film short that they drew out because it was too depressing to just end like that.

But this has the same problem that it's trying to solve in the first place: the LLM's behavior is unpredictable, and that includes its answers to questions like this. There's no guarantee that it won't hallucinate.

Maybe this can be ameliorated by giving it access to some hard-coded and highly vetted list of capabilities?
Launch HN: June (YC W21) – Product Analytics for B2B SaaS Companies
Two and a half years ago my co-founder and I left our jobs on the product team at Intercom to try and build a startup. We went through YC and launched an analytics tool on top of Segment that allowed you to generate some pre-made reports for common product metrics (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26155327). We raised a seed round, then spent a year building templates of reports for startups.

After a year of building our product we tried to monetise and failed. Our free users weren’t willing to pay us money for individual reports.

Among the users we had, there were a handful of later stage B2B companies with few customers but a lot of revenue (one had 50 customers and $1m in annual revenue). These companies looked at their analytics in a different way. They cared a lot more about specific individual users than consumer apps do, and they spent a lot of time using our product.

After learning this we spent some time trying to understand the differences between product analytics for a B2C product versus a B2B one. We learned three main things that led us to pivot our company into building a product analytics tool for B2B SaaS companies:

(1) Most of the revenue in B2B products comes from a handful of customers. In Slack’s case, 500 customers out of 700,000 made up to 40% of revenue[1]!
(2) Most of the revenue B2B products make comes from expansion. Contracts start small and grow over time, as a company wins more trust and delivers value. This means that growing product usage among existing users, over time, draws in more users and more revenue.
(3) Product management in B2B is a lot less quantitative than in B2C. It is more a collaboration with Sales and Customer Success teams. The kind of insights you need from analytics are different. You need to know “Are our key customers adopting the new feature we launched?” and not “Does our new redesign improve activation by 2%?”

After learning these things we went back to the drawing board and rebuilt our product with them in mind. That is, we built a product analytics tool that (1) has automatically set up reports that allow you to track acquisition, activation, retention and feature usage; (2) supports measuring metrics both in terms of how many users or companies use your product; and (3) helps you answer common questions for your users like “Who used our product the most in the last 90 days?”, “Who tried our new feature once and never came back?”, “What’s our feature with the highest retention? How many people use it?”

This realization happened a year ago and we’ve now reached the point where more than a thousand B2B SaaS companies at seed and Series A use us every month.

We would love to get some feedback from the broader HN community! You can find our product at: https://june.so

Sovereign countries can set their visa (and citizenship and work eligibility) requirements.

I’m not aware of any that have chosen fully open borders, mostly because that’s not in the interest of the citizens and residents of the country.

Edit in response to P’s edit: if the country I’m in has a good balance of labor, jobs, and related resources, and is therefore a great place to live, what’s the incentive to open our borders to everyone and risk upsetting that balance with no way to turn off the tap?

What I like about Van Gogh's work, is the 'vibrant energy' in his paintings. But I had to experience his work in person to come to appreciate and perceive that. Prior to my first in-person experience with his paintings, I was in the 'meh' camp. It was a similar story for me with the work of Georgia O'Keefe.
It just seems like they still used the age for things like: When do you start school, when can you vote, drink and so on, all of which in my mind has always been linked to some expectation of maturity (justified or not).

If school starts a six, then some of those children could be one to two years younger than others. For adult either way seems fine, there's little difference between 35 and 37, but for the youngest children it seems like it would make a huge difference.

Training is one thing, but the primary issue is wages and career prospects. Nobody working in a customer-facing role at a mobile carrier is paid enough to give a shit to do proper data protection - in fact they might be paid more by a malicious actor (bribery) to intentionally compromise data protection, just like it happens with fraudulent SIM swaps.

I have to agree. You can't call it autopilot or full self driving if it's not. It leads people into thinking it is.

But when full self driving is not actually full or self driven... Something should be done. It's driving assistance.

That seems plausible, although mobile SoCs are much more optimized for power efficiency (roughly, FLOP per watt), while other chips are more optimized for price/performance (roughly, FLOP/s per chip price). When the latter stops improving, when the cost per transistor goes up, then shrinking structures could still make sense for mobile SoCs, insofar efficiency still improves. This would result in smaller mobile SoCs. But this wouldn't affect other chips which aren't similarly power constrained.
