Sure, but subsidizing elderly care is a different discussion than how the elderly care is carried out. I'm sure the Dutch government would also be capping family expenses at $3600 even if this was just a run-of-the-mill nursing home we were talking about.
This really isn't something that can be answered easily in an Ask HN thread. This is a HUGE topic, about which many books have been written, many classes have been taught, etc. Any comments you get aren't even going to begin to start to scratch the surface of the surface.

That said, I'd suggest you start by reading The Four Steps to the Epiphany by @sgblank. His "Customer Development Process" is basically "market research" but by a different name, and with a slightly different focus than "traditional" market research.

While you're at it, I'd suggest also hitting up Alibris (or your favorite pirate e-book site, whatever) and pick up a cheap "Intro to Marketing" book. Doesn't matter which one, or what edition, but probably go for something written in the last 15 years or so. Even if it isn't super up to date, a lot of the basics will still be valid.

The book The Mom Test is also good and should probably be required reading at this stage.

If you want more, consider searching the HN archives, as a lot has been written on this topic here over the years.
"Degrees Kelvin". Yeah, I've actually heard that.
This feature was really useful for linking to live documentation URLs and asking GPT4 questions on them. Soon after I think what the other user said became true, where their ips started getting banned.
Some Macbooks don't match 218 ppi. MacBook Pro 14" and 16" have 254 ppi. I don't know why Apple decided to have such a high ppi for them.
The book “The Mom Test” is a really good read with similar advice.

> ban all M&A

Let's think through this. Company A wants to buy Company B. M&A is banned.

1. A pays B's owners $X for all IP and other properties of B.

2. B fires everyone.

3. A hires whoever they want out of B's former employees.

A "ban" will simply not work as long as your country has a concept of property rights and ownership.

I'm not confused I'm saying you're conflating two things - understanding something and being able to perform it in a single pass. Neither llms nor humans have to be able to solve a sudoku puzzle to write code that can. I can be awful at mental arithmetic and write code for a calculator.

Similar happened with LINE. They used to have a Lite app that only had the ability to encrypted chat + send files + make voice/video calls (& had a dark theme with no trackers). But they killed it off last year to make everyone ‘upgrade’ to the full app which is packed to the gills with games, trackers, delivery, etc. & the download is tenfold+ larger. When I didn’t upgrade they swept my account under the rug & despite a supporting Win/Mac/Chromium apps, your primary device must be Android/iOS or they won’t let you access the account (similar to Signal’s shenanigans).

>This is very annoying if you have common groups of things that interweave with other things visually; but you can’t put them under a single element to select.

I'm not sure I really understand what you're saying, you can put a group of paths etc. under a group element and then manipulate the display of that group. You can't control their z-indexing it's true but I've achieved relatively complex and pleasing interactions with this method.

I guess I see the point that it would be nice to control it, as I normally want to be able to control everything it would be a bit hypocritical to suddenly say no you don't need to, but I would note one benefit of current SVG's approach is you don't end up with the fighting about z-index you get every now and then in HTML where suddenly things overlap and it is hard to figure out in code where or why, in SVG things overlap because one element is above another and are occupying the same x,y.

Experienced frontend engineer with 6+ years of experience. Worked at small startups as well as a unicorn. Looking for a new role with exciting new technologies.
Somehow no one managed to make cross-compilers work, even though it is the standard way of working in embedded and game consoles for decades.
Were they there first or were they there last?
> I'm calling it now

This has become the indicator of hubris, the red flag that indicates the rest should be taken, at best, with a very large pinch of salt.
I think it's that software engineers don't know how to read what they don't write, that being instructions and documentation. I am making an assumption here on the category of those complianing about the UX, but I doubt it is far off.
I take similar notes in post-its on the relevant pages. They don't damage the book and can be easily removed later. The other advantage is that I can easily read the notes later as a way to revisit key ideas.

Writing in a book is abhorrent to me, but it's a personal preference.
A rough guess without knowing any better, would be that their SQLite configuration isn't flushing to disk after every write or similar.

Maybe they ran their entire benchmark in a single transaction or something?
stack_trace allows you to specify a custom allocator, which would protect against a lock held in the allocator (never ran into this in the real world though).

You're right about mutex & cv in the general case though
The open web was a nice idea but the economics for it were never sustainable. Ads lead to SEO spam and AI can be easily hacked because no one has figured out how to make statistical correlations "unhackable" so you'll eventually get sophisticated attacks like AI SEO spam that game whatever neural network is doing the summarizing to inject ads into the summaries.

There is a way to fix all these problems by removing profit motives but that's obviously practically unworkable so the quality of the content is just going to keep getting worse and worse until everyone starts using services like arxiv and semanticscholar to get any useful information because those will be the only places where neither the hosting nor the content is motivated by profit incentives.
Not in an online way, but the conversation is gold for further or new RLHF training.
This looks like a good implementation for common array operations in a type-safe manner.

Not a bad approach, but the source (header file) is not very readable (so I guess "just like the STL" applies :-))
I don't understand your question.

Exactly what was in your comment that I told you to state up front.

Most people in a discussion about AI and replacing people are working with a definition of general intelligence that includes humans to a large degree.

umami, pirsch analytics both are open source so you can host yourselves or if you don't want to host you can use their services.If you don't want to break the law than "who" is not an option unless you explicitly take permission from the user. All you can have is anonymized data.
Enlighten me. What has his research agenda resulted in? What did Hofstadter get right that others did not?
You can thank Rob Pike for that, about a decade ago he wrote a Google Plus post arguing that one of the things C brought to the table was that it essentially was portable assembly compared to most other high level language projects at the time. I guess the tiny sliver of nuance that the "essentially" added was quickly lost.
Why is there such a UX to tag ChatGPT responses with information for reviewers?
I just realized I swapped the two but it's too late. The bounds checks obviously stay in ReleaseSafe, not ReleaseFast.
I won't comment again on my support for these laws for obvious reasons but I will say that the laws are just democracy in action and the residents of those states are either getting their wishes done or this will help fix whatever corruption there is. PH and others declining to comply is a good thing too, that's what both sides wanted apparently. In some countries I have been to, even google and bing are very aggressive at removing any result that could remotely be considered adult content.

My understanding is that the whole point of federally structured statehood is for each state to do unpopular things like this and people move to where they want. The one thing that should change is for the federal government to stop supporting states unfairly. The federal tax revenue and population of a state should be the deciding factor on how much money and infrastructure support states get. For example, internet access itself should be state subsidized not federal. the federal government by law should force states to support its policies like this if it means subsidies and investments like rural interner access. The price for being left alone while they ban books an random things for their politics should be having to pull their weight. For conservative states like missisipi and arkansas that are dirt poor, they should look to texas and florida who are capable of pulling their weight while coming up with crazy laws. The only serious matter of contention is immigration which I won't touch with a 10-ft pole now.

Google maps is a crime against cartography. The two most important elements of a map are usually absent: a north arrow and a scale.
They may be good at copying features, but they then destroy the gains by trying to push real name policy.

How Red Hat’s Open-Source Negligence Is Doing Actual Harm to the Linux Community
Facebook should make a LinkedIn copy. LI has taken the majority of the feed eyeball time.

LI must have more DAU/MAU than Twitter - most people are just scrolling the LI feed, adding random people to their network (better than adding "friends" on FB), posting/re-sharing longer text+image content.
This is a good book that helps deal with those issues: https://www.momtestbook.com/
Thankfully most of those are C++ and not C, and some hip languages are bootstraped.
Businesses face challenges when it comes to achieving efficient and scalable development processes. Traditional approaches often fall short in meeting the ever-increasing demands for speed, scalability, and innovation. That's where Function as a Service comes.

FaaS is more than just another addition to the technology stack; it represents a paradigm shift in the way applications are developed and deployed. It offers a serverless computing model that abstracts away infrastructure concerns, allowing businesses to focus on innovation and core product development. As a result, FaaS has garnered significant attention and adoption across various industries, including BFSI, IT & Telecom, Public Sector, Healthcare, and more.
Developers can make users more frustrated with a product, intentional or not. Anti-patterns are a thing and anti-patterns in AI could have cascading consequences. Users should not gain deeper access from such "behavioral issues", but bullying/manipulating ChatGPT indeed seems to work better to get past filters than being polite.

I think you're overestimating the strength of the rule of law in those western countries.
There are various techniques automated agents (eg crawlers like Google's) can use. Ethical ones are done in agreement or following the guidance of the content providers to allow discovery which suits both parties while not giving unrestricted access which wouldn't always suit the provider.

We could hypothesize that in this case BWB is employing some of those techniques while it isn't a discovery-enabling service, but rather a content-using one, and so would be expected to present as an ordinary user and be subject to the same constraints.
I structured my hourly classes with a rough target of 20 min of free-form conversation (usually on a topic or two I or the sensei wrote down in a shared google doc ahead of time) followed by 40 min of structured lesson prepared by the sensei (grammar, vocab, textbook stuff).

What? Norway is smaller than Spain. And why do you think countries were distributed to people by some sort of collective decision?
It is annoying. And it seems rather impossible to get this under control 100%, at least if you don't want to much collateral damage. I don't know if it's just that I'm unconsciously raising expectations when trying chatgpt, but I somehow feel like it's getting dumber. I have no idea if this is because of trying to get it to not say inappropriate things, or from trying to get it to not hallucinate.

The problem is most likely that you cannot market this without achieving these two goals. Companies powering their support chat with it don't want it to ever curse or insult the customer, and average users using it as an assistant cannot fathom that something the computer says could possibly be wrong.
By "impressed" I mean the guys perpetuating the hype cycle and itching to be "disrupted".

The story of 2023 is the CEO or another C-level boss rushing to their ML team and excitedly telling them to scrap all their plans because they need to integrate ChatGPT AI "yesterday", while the ML team roll their eyes and laugh behind his back.

I'm sure it happened to you too.

Incidentally, that is also the case on Bluesky and one reason I would not dare to invite anybody on there until they address it.
That's really cool. Someone from that project must've been really attached to the name.

It's interesting that Facebook/Instagram keeps launching new apps to identify new usecases. Most of them rarely gets heard of, but perhaps they gain a lot of insight even when they shut down.

On the flip side, I hope it's not like Google where services are launched to die soon for the sake of enhancing a promo package.
I realize that it's probably not productive to invite a whole digression here on the whole "fake it till you make it" philosophy, but I can't help but feel that it's reckless.

Sooner or later (we may already be past that point), serious buyers will just stop speaking to anyone at all who even just remotely gives off the vibe of being a bootstrapped startup, assuming they're all just hustlers who won't deliver.
The 'compass' setting is a minefield if done 'correctly'

For the kinds of maps I coded for in the 1980's you'll want your compass rose to indicate

* Geographic North (on, say a WGS84 ellipsoid)

* Magnetic North (where a magnetic compass points, this varies by time and geographic location)

* Rotational North (the spin axis of the planet - it walks a bit)

This things can be added if you're looking for an additional ( pointless? ) challenge.
> Regulatory capture

You say this and in the next breath mention India banning TikTok, which indicates that you don’t know what you’re talking about. India banned TikTok and 57 other Chinese apps in June 2020 in response to clashes between the PLA and the Indian Army in the Himalayas.

How are you going to explain that? That Zuck picked up the phone and encouraged Xi to attack Ladakh so that Modi would ban TikTok? Be real.

It is definitely true that Meta has tangentially benefited from this, but let’s not pretend that Meta was the driving force behind this.
> The reason ECDSA exists is simply https://patents.google.com/patent/US4995082 (now expired),

Sort of.

Schnorr signatures have a "linearity" property -- if you add together two signatures you get a valid signature of the same text using the sum of the keys.

Sometimes you don't want people to be able to obtain signatures-with-the-sum-of-the-keys, or you don't want to enable bulk key-cracking via the same techniques that allow bulk validation.

Also, confusingly, "EdDSA" signatures (aka ed25519 signatures) are Schnorr signatures:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8032#section-1

... however EdDSA:

1. Uses hashing instead of either multiplicative inverse (slow) or a source of randomness (footgun) for the nonce.

2. Hashes the public key into the signature in order to deliberately break linearity. Signatures with different keys will use different hashes, and hashing isn't linear, so adding the signatures no longer yields anything useful. The signature verifier checks this (they can, since they have your public key), so a defective implementation can't skip this step without producing bogus signatures.
For those unfamiliar with the resource curse [1] this isn't usually a ticket to victory. The largest proven oil reserve in the world isn't in Saudi Arabia, it's in Venezuela - the poorest country in the Americas.

What Norway deserves huge credit for is the way they manage their natural resources, and how they designed their sovereign wealth fund.

They can't. Google as an organization just doesn't understand social networking.

They've had comments and forums (community?) for ages. Do you know how to engage in that community? Do you know how to even track your own comments? Etc.
Yeah, that was painful. How does memory work? Me, teacher who took graduate school classes on educational psychology: he’s going to talk about short-term memory, etc. now. Him: NEURONS!

Also, the article never mentioned the one absolutely knock down, finding that has been confirmed over and over again as effective for learning (or at least remembering): spaced repetition.
Possible, yes, and frequently used I’m sure, but entangles the retirees financial future with the business’s future — the retiree loses if the new owners make bad decisions, overleverage, and end up defaulting / bankrupting themselves. I don’t think it’s reasonable to force all businesspeople to retain this risk after disposing of the business concern.
