One great piece of pricing advice I received was that you can price the product based on the seniority of the person in the room. If you're meeting with a mid-level manager of a medium-sized company, you shouldn't go crazy with the pricing. But if a senior executive is in the meeting, you can tell the deal is important enough for him/her to spend time on it, and you can price accordingly.

This doesn't override other more concrete considerations, but when you're trying to price software (zero marginal cost) made by a startup (often no direct competitors/comparabales), it can be a useful factor.
That's because the lion doesn't have an abundance of resources that allow it care about "ethical calculus." It simply eats, mates, socializes, and sleeps; and it is satisfied with this arrangement -- never feeling the need for "more."

In my opinion, thought that verges beyond: "how to acquire food," "how to acquire mate," "how to acquire friend," and "how to acquire sleep" is "too much," and a neuroses. Or maybe all of our actions are predicated on fulfilling these base needs? And that our civilization has created an environment where these needs can no longer be simply attained, so we come up with ever more complex ways to attempt attaining them.

One can also make the distinction that those needs are also simply just "feel good" and "don't feel bad." For a lion, the aforementioned things are enough to "feel good." But for us people, the simple pleasures have become unattainable in any sustainable sense. So we once again try to find something to make us feel good. For the GP, that might be practicing vegetarianism; for the readers of Hacker News, it might be stuffing their minds full of information of only temporary utility.

And for what? So we can feel good, and escape the bad. "Ethical calculus" is no different. It's simply a rationalization of our base needs. Though I wish the simpler pleasures were more readily available... I'm getting awfully tired of working harder and smarter to find outlets!
Reading "Children of the Dust" in Jr. High School haunts me to this day.
This is true, bug again, how is the company culture formed in the first place? Was there ever a company culture that formed from fully remote individuals who never ever met in person even once?

I can't think of an example to be honest.

I very much agree with your point of view, but I've seen it go sideways when the culture is not well established and rooted deeply throughout the organization.

When you remove top-down management, pay well, and "treat people like adults" then they will have to autonomously align with the greater mission and purpose of the company and work quickly towards delivering positive outcomes for the business.

What I've seen happen instead, is people just start working on things that tickle their curiosity, wandering off into left field and the team is struggling to row in the same direction.

It is my belief, that in an office, or at least in a company that has an established culture, this is less of a problem. There are more mechanisms available to our innate human biology to reach a group homeostasis.
Automatic memory management is not exclusively positive, even if you don't care about performance.

If you lose deterministic destructors and therefore the possibility of RAII, for me it is a loss.

I worked with lots of garbage collected languages (Java, C#, Scala) before rust, and I don't miss garbage collection at all...
another irrelevant comment about politics.
Students learn best when they have a quiet home to study in, 3 quality meals a day, parents who aren't working 3 jobs they can ask questions to, parents who aren't fighting about paying the bills that month, good school supplies, etc.
Cable breaks a show by sticking adverts in the middle even though you've paid for access to watch the show.

Even if it was exactly the same price, cable would be a worse experience.
There's a reason we call it "the blue marble".

Effects spread wide enough can be said to be characteristic of the Earth's dynamics without needing to cover 100.000% of the surface. In the case of the article, if it affects enough of the population, we can generalize without missing the point.
Please do tell- which institutions effect is as you describe?
Any design pattern can be applied in a wrong way.
`flowmatic.Do` is equivalent to `future::try_join` (https://docs.rs/futures/latest/futures/future/fn.try_join.ht...), and `.Each` is equivalent to `stream::iter().map().buffer_unordered()` (https://docs.rs/futures/latest/futures/stream/fn.iter.html, https://docs.rs/futures/latest/futures/stream/trait.StreamEx..., https://docs.rs/futures/latest/futures/stream/trait.StreamEx...).

`.ManageTasks` doesn't seem to have a clear analogue that I can think of right now, that's an interesting one.

`.TaskPool` looks like `StreamExt::buffer_unordered` unless I'm missing something. The code example in the README didn't really say a lot for someone who isn't already well-versed in the library.
Yeah the SAT is the worst admissions metric, besides all the other ones.

What would you use in its place? You think grades don't have bias?
Ask HN: What are some favorite hardware used by hackers today?
The ligatures are really interesting, but at a glance I process them so much slower than the raw characters, especially the ones that change the graphical semantics such as <= vs ≤. Does anyone have experience getting used to these and 1) does it end up faster? 2) once you are used to it is it harder than it was before to process the raw characters when reading code in fonts that don't have the same ligatures?
I go back and forth on this. Athletics definitely have outsize influence on college admissions that should be diminished, but surely it should still count for something, right? Most people wouldn’t argue against considering artists’ portfolios and musicians’ performances in admissions. What makes athletics a less important pursuit?
They're not 3.5 models, which are 175B param, they're 220B and the idea is the fine tuning is different for each which is where the 'expert' comes in.
Football and (men's) basketball pay for themselves. The other sports do not. At many smaller universities, not even football and basketball can achieve net revenue for sports.

The name reminds me of Iosefka, an NPC in the game Bloodborne: https://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/Iosefka

It appears these are two ways of spelling the same name, and that has made me curious about its etymology.

I've not found much in the way of clues. Most of the search results are either in reference to the font or to the game.

According to names.org, Iosefka is tagged with Gender-Neutral and Hebrew: https://www.names.org/n/iosefka/about

Does anyone here have one of these names? Can you share the story behind them?
Guys this is a serious concern. This is not about a single person or organization. There is something illegal being done here.

There are innumerable number of profiles that are being collected without consent from the profile owners. Their sensitive information being 'stolen' in an established manner from companies like Instahyre and People Data Labs.

This company has zero adherence towards information security and by the effort required to crack the encryption it is very clear that this company even lacks technical expertise as well.

If it were to be in a country protected by Data protection Laws, the founders would be in a grave situation.

The people responsible for this data theft should be held accountable. I really hope Y-Combinator gets on top of this incident to address the concerns highlighted. I would also recommend YC take a better approach in evaluating early stage startups by considering Information security adherence as a key factor in adopting early stage startups into it's fold.

we urge all the companies using this tool to immediately suspend usage and delete the information they have on the candidates to protect their and the candidates' sensitive information.

Please understand that in the hands of a real hacker this could prove fatal.

People's addresses, contact numbers, emails and their current and previous interview schedules being let out in the open could literally end careers for many.

I really hope this community takes an appropriate action to address the concerns raised.
This is a little bit ridiculous. There is no connection between alumni donations and capital investments except decisions that university leadership chooses to make. The issue isn't the donations, its the university leadership thats choosing to make large capital expenditures. The donations could go to other things and do go to other things. Any blame you're putting on the donations actually belongs to the people running the university. Blaming unwise spending on donations without mentioning who is making those decisions as the root of the issue is ridiculous.
Because downvotes aren't for disagreement. There is nothing wrong with the comment, it isn't aggressive or trolling or in bad faith or anything. It's just reasonable to disagree with it.
Yes, considering those are fields where humans have to be professionally educated and licensed, and also carry liabilty for any mistakes. It probably shouldn't be used for civil or mechanical engineering either.
Governments obviously give people plenty of things back for their taxes, so taxes are in no way "taking the fruits of your labor for free".
Property rights are not a binary, all or nothing thing, so the answer is complicated.

When do you have the right to use something? When do you have the exclusive right to use it? When do you have the right to eject others? When do you have the right to destroy it? Copy it? Sell it?

Some of these rights you may never have. Some you have the moment you pay, others are practically impossible to enforce until you take delivery.
The Jet Stream is a global wind current in the upper atmosphere that circumnavigates the world. It's equally relevant to all countries in temperate regions.

El Niño is a warming of the water in the North Pacific that sometimes happens and sometimes isn't. It has an outsized impact on the weather in the Western US.

The Gulf Stream is a current in the North Atlantic that brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico to the North Atlantic, where it has an outsized impact on the climate in Europe.
Just trying to gauge opinions. Is roughly half off tuition for 3.5+ GPA acceptable? That’s been the most generous I’ve seen
I would argue for the reverse: transparency in pricing and don’t try to haggle up depending on the business/person you have in front.
I can point at $12M/yr professional footballers who have been lied to and screwed over by the billionaires that they work for. They certainly won't be going hungry at night, but their careers have been affected negatively. Power imbalances can still exist between multimillionaire employees and their multibillionaire owners.
Harvard recently reported that legacies actually had higher SAT scores than non-legacy admits…

So you agree that Harvard shouldn’t need to factor in legacy status and instead use fairer metrics like SAT scores?

CVE-2023-38408: Remote Code Execution in OpenSSH's forwarded SSH-agent

Like Postman, without all the bullshit. Which is to say, like a few-versions-ago Postman.
That’s because the money goes to everything except education. The “admin” is a curse to everything it gets involved with. I went to a public university and I remember our CS classes over subscribed because the UnI wouldn’t fund two additional TAs, meanwhile our Chancellor got a 300k fence to prevent protesters from getting close to his university funded house protesting “his mismanagement of funds and corruption”.
I agree that postman has a moat. I think it’s important to say that every company has a moat in that they’re organized, located somewhere, and have customers. The size of the moat varies. We can treat a moat as a scalar value of dollars to cross.

Every company also has a valuation, either through public markets, private markets, or discounted cash flows.

A house cleaning company has a moat of trained cleaners, existing client generation process, goodwill of existing clients, etc. If the value of their discounted cash flows exceed the cost of crossing their moat, they are vulnerable.

The argument is that crossing postman’s moat would cost much less than their private valuation, and their future roadmap is unlikely to build a moat that is significantly harder to cross.
I get that. I just never really understood why higher education and semi-pro athletics are so deeply linked together. They are totally different things!
You either play the Organic SEO game or you Pay to Play (Ads). Google as a search engine is now useless when it comes to searching for a tool/software etc because everyone has gamed the "Best software for xyz" etc. But what's the alternative ? None. There are these "review" websites like Capterra/Software Advice/G2 and again you have to pay to play. You can technically get a review from a customer and get listed BUT if you want to be shown on the main page for that category, you need to pay crazy PPC.

Source: I play this game since I run a software business. Would love an alternative but there are none. You either Play the game or you Die.
I may be wrong here, and you are certainly entitled to your own opinion. In my mind he isn't doing a nefarious "wink to audience" or as some might say a "dog whistle."

Instead he is genuinely saying that we don't know one way or the other but we should be open to the possibility of either option. One could, of course take a more cynical view and maybe that is the right course of action in a potentially adversarial situation such as this.

To be fair, the same argument could be made of the US and their 46 recently acknowledged biolabs in the Ukraine alone. We have many others around the world. I'm not an expert in adversarial bio-warfare or geopolitics so I can't say for sure what the right course of action.

I do however, love a statement he made in response to a question he was once asked by a reporter on how he would handle the potential of China invading Taiwan under his presidency.

His response was: "Strategic Ambiguity" in other words recognize the threat, prepare for the threat, but don't show your hand too early so as to keep your opponent on it's toes.

On a related note, RFK Jr. has, in my opinion, a truly novel view on how to engage with China in general. In his view, China is not interested in taking on the US in either a hot or cold war, and would prefer to compete with us on an economic rather than a military theater of engagement. In his view, and in mine, how you engage with your 'enemy' can have an enormous impact on how they choose to respond.

If the US under RFK Jr. were to signal that we also have no interest in engaging militarily against China but instead that we wish to compete with them for economic dominance - well then we might just teach each other how to be good free market competitors, competing on the basis of hard work, productivity and innovation.

As we look to compete with our rivals in AI, the next likely competitive threat - I would hope that this sort of framing would lend itself better to a China-US and even a global alignment on a policy framework that prevents an AI apocalypse.
Show HN: Sidekic AI, Giving You Infinite Memory
Hello Hacker News!
I’m Obinna, and I’m building www.sidekic.ai with my cofounder Harsha.

We’re building infinite memory for the world’s smartest people. A bit of marketing jargon, but here’s what we do.

1. We help you save any resource you find on the web, like websites, articles, videos and tweets. We’ll be releasing a browser extension soon to make this simpler!
2. Our AI automatically sorts, tags and organize your resources based on the content and the context. We put them into neat shareable collections called “StarterPacs”
3. Lastly we help you search through your resources that you’ve saved, but also from your friends, teams and communities.

Our end goal is to use this pipeline to build a curated index to offer a more helpful and relevant search experience based on curated knowledge from experts.

We chose to tackle this problem because we experienced first hand how stifling and time consuming it can be to search for information. We worked at LinkedIn and Apple previously, and search infrastructure at those companies was **.

More importantly, we saw that many of our friends also had this problem, and the best way they found to solve it was asking a coworker or subject matter expert.

Here is an example StarterPac:
https://www.sidekic.ai/starterpac/8500825504404890

We just launched on product hunt today if you want to check us out! We’d appreciate any feedback, no matter how critical :) feel free to send an email as well! hello@sidekic.ai

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/sidekic-ai

Now for the fun stuff, how did we build this? It’s a pretty simple stack right now.

Frontend is NextJs, tailwinds, daisyUI and Spline. Our backend is AWS Amplify for the application layer (for now, moving to AppWrite most likely) and a Python flask server for the AI functions.

For our “AI” we use a combination of our own NLP models, and ChatGPT. GPT 3.5 has been more than enough for our purposes, so the running costs have been practically nothing.

As you can tell, the application is a bit slow. We wanted to launch something that we weren’t proud of to get quick feedback.

Thank you very much for reading! :)
They are very similar typefaces I think one can be quite happy with either.
Why are the reward ratios in professional sports relevant to other occupations in society?

> But what it results in is a teeny tiny elite making millions, and nearly everyone else barely making enough to get by.

That is because a very small number of people can satiate the demand for almost all of the world’s people for entertainment from watching sports. Simple supply and demand.

It has nothing to do with meritocracy or how meritocracy distributed rewards. Making sure doctors/lawyers/engineers are appropriately qualified is not going to result in only a few getting the rewards, because their work does not scale as much (for the most part).
On desktop I don't seem to have an x; I see three dots with the only option being 'Send feedback' (opens up the Send Feedback to YouTube sidebar)
> The objection (more surprise than objection) is that web browsers are supposed to be sandboxed environments. They are not supposed to be able to do things that negatively impact system performance.

I agree with the sandboxing model, but it is orthogonal to WebGPU and impacting system performance. Sandboxing is about making the environment hermetic (for security purposes and such), not about full hardware bandwidth isolation.

First, there is no way for web browsers to have no system performance impact whatsoever. Browsers already use hardware acceleration (which you can disable, thus alleviating your WebGPU concerns as well), your RAM, and your CPU.

Second, afaik WebGPU has limits on how much of your GPU resources it is allowed to use (for the exact purpose of limiting system performance impact).
I'm confused here. Both facts are salient (what was built and under which circumstances was it built) to any discussion of merit. The main complaint I see here is that admissions committees should use as much information as possible, which I doubt anyone disagrees with. What is racist is someone saying 'Oh, student 2 is black, thus without any further information, I'm going to assume he's poor and from Sudan'.

Case in point, we had a very wealthy black student in my college. This woman was not disadvantaged in any way, yet she played the race card all the time in order to claim a disadvantaged background. I'm talking about a family that would take their kids to France and England to summer. That level of wealth, yet framing all her accomplishments as if she came from the inner city. That's disingenuous, yet the (now-gone) affirmative action camp would have gladly taken her checking the 'African-American/Black' checkbox as a sign that all her accomplishments should be judged on a poor disadvantaged upbringing. How is that not racist?
Then so has Ruby, Haskell, Erlang, and a bunch of other languages that espouse virtues completely contrary to Go. So I'm not sure what your point is?

Also you didn't even get my point because I explictly contrasted Go, as a niche language, with the big languages that most things are written in.
If you would like to see science on it you can search for something like 'protein satiety study.' Brave search, at least, returns countless high quality looking results. [1] Suffice to say it's not even remotely controversial. In any case this isn't complex - just try it yourself, though remember to adjust protein intake vs DIAAS levels. What is controversial is my claim that the world, including the developed world, is largely protein deficient.

Yet we accept that protein not only has countless health benefits, but also significantly helps with things like satiety - in a world where obesity has become arguably the #1 public health crisis. And now pair this with DIAAS scores also emphasizing that many of the sources being used to pump up raw protein numbers (such as flour based products - bread, pasta, etc) are some of the worst possible sources of protein in terms of actual digestibility, let alone amino acid balance. The fact there isn't more focus on protein outside of e.g. body building nutritionists is quite odd.

I believe that GP would admit the child of billionaires. People who promote the meritocracy myth have an agenda and are sticking to it. Do you really think you can change GP’s mind with logic?
No, because taxes are used to fund basic infrastructure and services you consume, that is nothing like pirating movies.
How often does anyone donate millions of dollars with no strings attached, especially to a university?
Speaking from experience, there is no single, easy answer to your questions about specific measures and workarounds, because neurodiverse people are so, well, diverse. The common sense tips given elsewhere in this thread are worth trying. Keep what works. Discard what doesn't.

Listen to professionals' advice, especially OTs and speech therapists. Their work is most applicable here.

Don't listen - in fact, run away from - anyone who offers you a "cure", because they are trying to exploit you. There is no "cure" for neurodiversity. It's a difference, not an illness.

The most important thing to do for your daughter is the most obvious one: Love her unconditionally. Everything else flows from that, you just do what it takes. What that is will be pretty obvious 99% of the time.

The most important thing to do for yourself/selves is to be kind to yourself. You will need to advocate for your daughter as she grows up, and possibly beyond. You won't be effective at this if you're running on empty emotionally or financially.
> They frequently lead to large capital investments that then have uncovered operational costs

The problem is not the high amounts, but most donations can only be used for a specific purpose, so even though the endowments are high, the actual working capital will be a lot lower.
