Thanks a lot for the feedback. The website is actually a prototype, with rules subject to change.

> I think it would be much more interesting if each clue was a question, like, “Frida, which room were you in at 10:30?” etc. Then I would actually need to think about how to use as few clues as possible. Now I don’t think there’s any way to get the answer right except by guessing until all the clues eliminating murder weapons.

This sounds a little bit like Clue, right?

> The UI for filling in who is in which room isn’t great, it would make more sense to say which room each person is in than who is in each room - one person can just be in one room after all.

This UI is similar to the one murdle, which supposedly allow to make deduce (e.g. if someone is not in room A or B, then it must be in room C). I need to think on how to improve it..
There’s been 5 or 6 articles like this lately. The survey looks suspect.

Having met and worked with c-suite execs across a few different industries, Tech to me seems to have a lower percentage of psychoactive drug usage compared to media, finance, or real estate, but a higher percentage than say telecommunications or industrial manufacturing.

What’s strange is why is this narrative being launched now and in such a coordinated way? Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, NYT all in the last few weeks.
I does sometimes refuse to autofill. I have considered reporting it as a bug but I am unable to reliably reproduce it. Restarting Chrome seems to fix it.
Every company? What about banks that have old codebases running on Cobol?

I'm also very skeptical about big bang rewrites, but there are points where you need to migrate off certain tech. Ideally you can make that transition piece by piece though, but that also introduces its own set of problems (now you have two systems and the new one has to inherit some of the baggage of the old one in order to be compatible).
> If you receive a Mac from work, often times it requires an iCloud account.

It doesn't. Organizations should prohibit employees from using iCloud at all on their work machines. It's not work.

If employees need to listen to music or respond to iMessages they should feel free to bring their own Mac or most likely an iPhone to the workplace. The workplace should provide a separate Wi-Fi that directly connects to the public internet.
Assuming you have a garage.
Exactly, this is what it feels like to me. Sometimes it feels like I get more of it's attention (processing power) and the answers are good and correct. Other times it makes many mistakes easily. I would pay more to get more processing power for my questions.
What could a YC-style startup do for construction?

A lot of stuff is already done.

There's total standardization of parts sizes, and has been for decades. If you order a 2x4" wall stud from your local lumber yard, it will be the same size as the ones you order tomorrow. (It won't be 2x4, but that's another story.) Doors, windows, stairways, plasterboard, switchboexes, plumbing parts, basically everything in stock at a Lowes, are all designed to standard sizes, made in factories, and delivered to the site. The CAD software has all those standards built in.

Payroll and scheduling for workers? Done.

Ordering? Done.

I imagine any startup app opportunities will be in something you'd only learn about by going out to jobs sites and swinging a hammer for a year or two. If someone came in with such an idea, it might be wise to say "let's go on a tour of the jobsites you've been on in the last year" just as a way of validating real experience.
That makes many applications infeasible because the user conversion cost will be too high. It means you can't provide even one free trial run unless you are VC funded.
That certainly is one way to try and pick a side, but in practice it's no better than flipping a coin.

Anytime you hear one side of the story, we'll you're hearing one side of the story. Most situations are not black and white, most have context and nuance.

I've seen employees leave because the company behaved badly. I've seen employess leave when they behaved badly. I've seen situations where both sides had legitimate complaints.

Obviously no person posts something like "they fired me cause I'm a dick". But plenty of people do get fired for perfectly valid reasons. Companies will very seldom talk about firings publically, it's too dangerous to do so. So basically just be aware that people who have been fired are, well, unreliable witnesses to how that came about.

Of course there are plenty of bad companies. It eould be good yo know who they are. Im not sure employee reviews from ex-workers is meaningful. I -know- reviews from current employees is not meaningful. Which makes the value of review sites questionable.
Hah I’ve been meaning to give it away but I don’t want to inflict it on anyone I like.
Apple supports app specific sign-ins. That is what I do.

I live in a center of an European city, just like about 20000 nearby people. No garage, car parked at a random free place in 1 km radius.

I'd love to be able to get an EV, but it's a no go. Also, there are no electric family MPVs.
But (presumably) those seven posters would be motivated by big tech money and thus be identified by some algorithm or the other in that blockchain? And/or you being a genuine reviewer would have a more organic activity across the blockchain with other products too compared to theirs and that will add to the weight?
I really like the author's advice to do the "real" thing instead of the "kid" thing. This is what kids in more primitive societies do... if the family is subsistence farmers, the kids are helping do economically productive work from the moment they can. Even in farming communities in the US, kids are driving tractors, fixing cars, actually doing real adult work. Important for kids in the knowledge worker segment to do the same.
As someone who uses notebooks for research, outputs don’t play well with git. You can end up with very large commits that GitHub or wherever your repo lives may not like if you have a lot of plots and animations.

Moreover, while research moves fast, reproducibility remains important. If your notebook is stateful, then when you share it I may not be able to recreate your result or you might have a bug due to something lingering in the notebook state. Having your outputs is convenient, but if I download the notebook, run it myself, and find that the code doesn’t run because there’s some variable that got defined earlier in your session but that code got deleted during iteration, that’s really not helpful. It’s the equivalent of handing someone your lab notebook but you kept erasing over early pages to make room for new content.

That’s one example of a bug. You could easily introduce more subtle bugs where the state leads to invalid results.
Sorry this probably did seem like it was implicitly referring to you, but it wasn't my intention at all. I find you very reasonable :-)

It's kind of the culmination of dozens of threads on Hacker News over the last few years and increasing frustration on my end. Mainly the frustration is because I have criticisms of Red Hat, but every conversation seems to jump straight to some variation of IBM and it drowns out the (IMHO) reasonable discussion, or it's (rarely but still happens) a Red Hat person who doesn't think a single decision they've made is bad.
Exactly what I'm seeing!
What if you live in an apartment complex that doesn't provide charging? Or if you have to park on the street?
Good! More requests for me
7 years of being unable to finance a home purchase and having to pay cash or a huge down payment to get a car, but in exchange my entire college education is free?

Which is realistically a worst case scenario because there will always be someone who will try to figure out how to correctly evaluate the lending risk of people who are all equally handed free money and thus for whom the bankruptcy signal doesn't differentiate much.

And as a fresh college graduate I'm necessarily the most mobile I will likely ever be in my life, with no kids yet and maximum disposable income relative to my needs at this time of young adulthood, thus unlikely to be able or interested in looking for a settle-down home anyway for several years?

better believe I'll take that deal, or I would if I was back in that age group and stage of life.
Oh yes, won't somebody please look out for the poor put upon business owners. They just can't catch a break in modern America.

Return to Obra Dinn is a great game, indeed!. I will also recommend to check the Case of the Golden Idol.
For me the funnest way to play nethack was with a copy of the source nearby. It's cheating of course, but it is the fun sort of cheating. I always thought of it like being a monk or wizard, journeying forth armed with the hidden secrets of the world.

I never did beat the game, but My most memorable experience was once when I was messing around in wizard mode(a sort debug/creative mode to try things out in) and summoned a high level demon for grins and giggles, which promptly killed me. I did not think much of it at the time. but nethack, when you die, writes a bones file with what you had on what level and what killed you. it normally lets you find what killed you and a chance to get your stuff back. But now my nethack install is tainted with Juiblex, the faceless evil, on dungeon level level 2. I probable could have fixed it but it made the game hilarious, every play through containing a mad dash through level 2 and fervent usually unanswered prayers that the infernal thing would not follow you to the next level.
I don't quite follow. I don't have a problem with git or Github. I just don't happen to have npm installed.
It’s nice to know bankruptcy at least works when I die
> EU have deemed "gender-affirming care" experimental

This is a lie that Gender Critical people keep repeating, it is simply untrue. The EU continues to treat transgender children according to the same scientifically studied standards of care that they have in the past
The infrastructure will catch up as sales increase. A lot of people who say they don't want them can be convinced pretty quickly. Anyone who wants vehicles that will never be electric can just deal with it and pay exorbitant markups to make us deal with their frivolous emissions.
I highly doubt that. The end-to-end efficiency, energy density, safety, difficulty in transit and storage, and cost will make it a very dubious choice for anything but the niche of niche cases.

I'm pretty convinced that anything that can't realistically be electrified is likely going to end up being biodiesel.
Mostly means the majority and by construction allows for exceptions.
You underestimate how absolutely stupid many people are.
It does seem to be Meta's answer to WGPU.

The picture looks like they didn't have automatic tonemapping, the rendering equivalent of auto exposure control. So the picture is too dim. I brought it into a photo editor, saw that the top third of the intensity space was empty, used "Levels", and it looked much better.

That's a standard glTF test scene, called "bistro". Here's the same scene, rendered with Rend3/WGPU.[1]
Here's the source code for that example.[2] Rend3 is a level above WGPU; it deals with memory management and synchronization, so you just create objects, materials, transforms, and textures, then let the renderer do its thing. Rust handles the object management via RAII - delete the object, and it drops out of the scene.

Looking at Meta's examples, there are too many platform-specific #ifdef lines. More than you need with WGPU. Probably because WGPU is usually used with something like Winit, which abstracts over different window systems.

We'll have to wait for user reports about performance. Meta didn't show any video.
Here's a test video of mine using Rend3/WGPU on a town scene comparable to the "bistro" demo.[3] This is a speed run, to test dynamic texture loading and unloading while rendering.
The WGPU people are still working through lock conflicts in that area. The idea with Vulkan land is that you should be able to load content while rendering is in progress. For that to be useful, all the layers above Vulkan also have to have their locking problems hammered out. Most open source game engines don't do that yet. Unreal Engine and Unity do, which is why you pay for them for your AAA title.

Threads is a fantastic name, in my opinion. It is self-descriptive, it trademarks an English word, like Windows, everybody knows how to spell it, and works in multiple languages. What's not to like?
Yeah except there would still be a mechanism for revoking or moderating bad reviews because people would use the platform to review bomb any company they took issue with. The review might still be on the chain's history, but the moderation tool would still be created with good intentions, with a new transaction on a later block that basically revokes the "validity" of the bad review. Similar mechanisms can be seen in NFTs, where you can update the NFTs metadata.

Many garages are not attached or people park on the street! Also level 1 charge is reeeeally slow. It works fine with my PHEV (only a 14 kWh battery) but would not be able to charge a fully used EV battery overnight

> Why is the US based tradesperson superior to the Mexican?

A better question to ask is why is the value of the Mexican’s labor so much higher once they step foot into the United States for the same exact work and exact same skill level.

Another question you can ask is why can’t I as an American move to Norway and partake in their healthcare system and sovereign wealth fund? Or why can’t I move to Switzerland and work as a barista?

Once you can answer the second question, you have your answer to the first.
I think a really interesting project would be an Arduino/Pico/ESP controller and driver for the $1500 display.

Open source, wake-up timer on set interval, connect to Wifi, fetch URL, display image, go back to sleep.

Or have it permanently connected to Wifi and POST a URL to the controller any time to fetch a new image.

That way you could control the full stack and do not need any subscriptions or rely on external companies.
Cringe because... "Why bother?" and more so, "Why talk about it?"

If Google isn't in compliance, Google will get there... or appeal the ruling, or find some other way so that every user of GA doesn't have to migrate off it.

So I find it cringe because I see it as the tech equivalent of those people who rave about 5G making their COVID vaccines magnetic. It's just GA... use it, don't use it. But jumping to comply with a poorly written law, and saying like, "See this law that is poorly written deserves our respect!" Meh. It'll all get overturned. It's a poorly written law.

Plus there are plenty of places to go to "get your GA into compliance" without uninstalling GA.

I suspect that if OpenAI didn't have ChatGPT continuously output these disclaimers then they could get in a lot of legal trouble if, say, someone asked it for medical or legal advice and then sued when something bad happened.
I think you're ideologically motivated, and arguing from a position of emotional distaste for trans people rather than unbiased concern about medical practice. Here's why:

> any legitimate discussion or criticism about gender-affirming care, possible social cause that's driving the increase of trans-identifying teenagers

Trans-identified is a term created by anti-trans activists initially as an "in joke" because calling someone a trans identified male or trans identified female created acronyms that spelled traditionally female and male names: TIM and TIF, where TIM would be applied to trans women and TIF would be applied to trans men. A group that is serious about improving the world wouldn't choose their terminology so as to make fun of or harass people. A hate group would.

> or how certain trans rights infringes on women's rights

It's not at all clear that trans rights infringe on women's rights. The right to segregate yourself from elements of the population that you find distasteful isn't guaranteed. Otherwise we'd still have Jim Crow laws in the American South and lesbians would still be barred from women's sports due to concerns about them being predatory in locker rooms - yes this was a big concern in the 1980's.

> the capture of cultural institutions by radical activists

This is conspiratorial thinking. "Institutions" are made up of individuals and operate under some guiding principles. They aren't captured like territories in a game of risk.

> This would also mean that statements made by countries that are arguably more progressive than the US (i.e. UK and European countries) about the current trans issue would fall into that category as well.

The UK and EU have different politics than the US. They are economically more egalitarian, but socially can be very conservative.

> it's hard to believe that the medical and activist organisations in the US are actually acting in good faith

Why would you conflate medical and activist organizations? Isn't it possible that you are the activist, and that you'd like to bend medical organizations to your will because they disagree with your own prejudices?

> Anyone of sound mind can clearly evaluate that my point isn't transphobic. The reply to this comment is a demonstration of what's wrong with the US.

Saying that nobody can disagree with you unless they are mentally unwell, and then calling someone who disagreed with you an example of "what's wrong with the US" is very odd behavior. It doesn't seem like the way someone operating in good faith would behave.
> Then find and read the other papers, science is made in this way

I wish. Science is made based on funding and grants. Those deciding what to fund are after conclusions supporting political or business objectives.

Simple example:

Run a search for papers in support of all kinds of hairbrained schemes to "save the planet".

Then run a search for papers explaining that this is a fantasy and we can't affect climate and other factors at a planetary scale.

You'll find thousands of the first type and, maybe, a dozen, if that, of the second.

Why?

Is it because there is no science in support of the second perspective?

No. Not even close.

In fact, there's overwhelming science --even going down to basic Physics-- in support of it. However, all funding has been going towards supporting a narrative that can, in turn, support political and business strategies. A researcher who dares swim against this massive current will quickly find that driving an Uber might be the only profitable career path he/she might have left. Or, they jump into the funding river, swim with the current and have a life.

Yes, sure, when I was a kid I was taught that science was this virtuous thing where facts reigned supreme. Not a little kid any more.

Yeah and a normal wall plug will run at 20 amps, which will take almost 10x longer to charge a car than a Supercharger. Meanwhile, a ton of people rent and can't arbitrarily add chargers to their home. Even if they own, it's common for many cars to need to park on the street far from access to a plug.
Steam has thousands of good games and hundreds of excellent games. Android has, what, less than dozen good games?
I think that there is also a certain (to a large degree realistic) pessimism that comes with age. It's not just that younger people are less risk averse (though they are), it's that they are less likely to think that they will fail.

Lots of successful startups could have a post-hoc analysis of "Holy shit we were stupid, but we worked hard and got lucky"

Or, as a friend of mine put it, inexperienced people don't succeed because they know something that experienced people do, they succeed because they don't know something that experienced people do.
I've been algo trading as a side project for a few years now, but all through TD Ameritrade. I get all my quotes and whatnot with them, and it's free with my accounts. I also get other data elsewhere, which is free as well.

I was curious in getting a websocket setup with Polygon after seeing your post, but I noticed it's $29 for first package with the websocket feature. Then I noticed that the package with real-time data is the Advanced package at $200 a month. I'll admit, real-time with unlimited API calls sounds pretty sweet, as my strats rely on to the second data. However, I don't know if I can justify $200 as my algos run no more than 78% win rates with a normal bankroll funding it all. I'm looking to save wherever I can while I build these things and get a passive income stream rolling in.

I would love to know which package you were using, as I didn't see it in the time I quickly read your post? Also, any pro/cons to that specific package? Any and all other details are welcome, and if you would rather respond to my email, it's in my profile. Thanks!
I've been wondering how to do the same, my guess is at the end of the day most people will end up using Windows Copilot or Siri whatever apple decides to call it.

Burn the oil that would have gone into cars in a power plant... You can propel an EV 2-3x as far as an ICE vehicle with the same amount of oil because power plants are much more efficient than car engines.

I don't see it myself. My circle of friends (poker buddies, families with kids the same age as my stepkids, etc) here in SV is more than half tech execs, investors and other high stress professionals and I don't see this at all.

For the poker buddies we talk about all sorts of things (including job stress and, yes, drug use) literally at the pub but don't see any excessive drinking. For the others, though it is far easier to keep up a front, when alcohol or pot are around people with problems controlling consumption tend to stand out.

While this is anecdote, not data, I am hyper-alert to this: abuse of alcohol and other recreational drugs has been a serious issue in my life -- not me personally (I don't even drink) but close family members, including a couple of ODs.

Maybe the culture is different for people living up in the city these days.
