>I don't know the specifics of how much identification UPI requires, but you could levy all sorts of taxes that way if you knew who was who.

UPI connects with your bank account -- that's the only way it works. So the identification that UPI has, will be same as that of what the bank account requires. Typically, higher the amount, more the IDs required to keep the account active.

> IIRC India has relatively high tax rates, but has struggled with collection in the past ....

The way tax evasion primarily happened in india was through cash payments. When you rotate money in cash, it's really hard to trace it back. Now with UPI becoming mainstream, the thing that is now accessible to govt is your day-to-day transaction history.

> once it's widely adopted enough (let's say 80/90%+ of payments)

UPI already is >80% of all consumer digital transactions (as per this article - https://bfsi.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/fintech/upi-d... )
Disagree. In the real world prices aren’t all that simple. Especially in payments it could come down to the riskiness of the business, fees imposed by upstream providers, etc. Simplifying that is a valid business decision, but it’s hardly “spam” not to.
> Do better.

This kind of condescension really doesn't help your point and in fact leads me to believe you're simply virtue signaling.
Thanks (turning JS off also works).
The goal is to handle as much accessibility as possible with smart defaults and by making it easy for users to get right. Currently, all aria stuff is handled internally the components. For example, look at <sl-input> and you’ll see that the input, label, and help text are automatically linked in the shadow root. The minimum the user needs to provide is a label and assistive devices work as expected.
Seems… redundant, no?
My feelings are mixed. I love the use of video in that page but i found it hard to get around the site on my iPad, I was not always sure what would happen when I scrolled. I was looking for more product pages but I wound up in these “look books” with scrumptious photos but no clear link to pages.

I am interested generally in interfaces that evoke “mixed reality” and kinda dreaming of making sites a lot like this but with completely clear and intuitive navigation which may be aspirational.

They're saving money by the simple fact that sparse models are much less expensive to train and infere than dense equivalents.

>OpenAI themselves have also publicly acknowledged they're hitting diminishing returns on model size. [1]

Do people even properly read this ? Altman acknowledged they were hitting economic wall scaling not that they thought they couldn't get better performance scaling further.

Ilya believes there is plenty performance left to squeeze still.

There was even an interview specifically correcting this misinformation.
A planetary scale strategy is only viable if it first outcompetes the alternatives, and then produces the “right behavior” as a side effect.

A few buy a Tesla to save the environment. The majority buy a Tesla because it has “self driving”, it appeals to their vanity, FOMO, etc.

A few buy bitcoin because it’s a necessary tool to curb fiat devaluation and other forms of corruption. Most buy bitcoin because “number go up”, appeal to greed, and even the worst intentioned actors engage simply out of self interest.

Whether Tesla and bitcoin are “the right thing” is not the point. They illustrate the right strategy, where a desired new behavior is adopted at scale even by those with no interest, or even opposing interests.

The hard part is not figuring out what new behavior is needed. It’s figuring out how to bring about wide scale adoption.
Glad someone liked it! :)

// I just could not make him understand that 5 milliseconds of additional latency in the era where microseconds are an eternity is a disaster for a veritable smorgasbord of upcoming projects. It just. Would. Not. Sink. In.

Does this company do something where this latency would be noticeable? Can you give an example of business impact that would result from it?

If you can, why don't you?
If you can't, then sounds like it doesn't matter.

I use it the other way around. I write the comments first and then I find it can often fill in the code.

I find it especially helpful with SQL queries, and with boilerplate type code. It’s also very helpful when I’d need to lookup the usage of various methods. I just start with the comments and most of the time it saves me the context switch to the browser to lookup the usage.
but I thought we were supposed to have infinite and unwavering trust in the legacy media, especially reuters.. I thought anyone who considered otherwise were tinfoil hat rightwingers that subscribe to "alternate facts".

But as it turns out time and time again, if the media tells you something, it is almost certainly a lie, mostly though, lie by omission. And if it turns out not to be, it was a mistake
If film was invented in France, why didn't France become the film hub of the world, then, instead of Los Angeles? If packet switching is from the UK, why didn't the UK build a world wide network instead of DARPA? If HTML was invented by a Brit in Switzerland, why didn't the UK or Switzerland become a hub for the world wide web instead of silicon valley?

You say that the rocket sent to the moon was built by a German, as if that's points against the United States. To many Americans that isn't a bad thing. It is a foundational American value to adopt culture, skill, and ambition from abroad.
> It also seems like this was a spontaneous initial conversation and not part of the process, so I’m not sure why you are suggesting that they made it up.

Yes, it was an initial conversation as I said. When I asked about equity compensation I was told that compensation discussions are to be avoided because bringing it up could be considered a negative by the company.
Berlin is special. Germany as a whole is much more conservative.

"Never again" is still a big part of the culture. The rise of the Nazis is a common theme at school, not only in history lessons, but also others ("analyze this speech's rhetoric").

I suppose as a German it feels natural to be able to criticize what the people in your country have done before yourself and some patterns are fairly easy to spot. It's sometimes hard to understand why it can be so difficult for others.

Another good one is Buldak. After cooking, you mix them mostly dry with the sauce though.
Hmm, they've tried to be clever by defining artificial intelligence by how it has been created and the fact that it is used to make decisions.

However since the techniques available are so varied they've basically just written a catch all that explicitly includes all kinds of statistics or optimization.

So really the rules apply equally to everything from GPT to basic linear regression to calculating an average. Frankly it's hard to come up with a computer aided decision that isn't covered by their definition of 'artificial intelligence system'. Which I guess is fine, but then why mention artificial intelligence? Just ignore the technique entirely and focus on the end results you want to avoid.
The FreeType library can generate SDFs from TrueType fonts. I am not sure whether it uses the Bezier curves directly though, or first renders to a bitmap.

That is a perfectly reasonable position. Personally I consider it a hobby to tweak these things. During high volatility periods of energy price home automation can be somewhat profitable too, as it enables scheduling of the load periods to coincide with cheaper power.
The problem with hierarchic identifiers is that you need to be extremely dilligent when assigning them, and you make it extremely hard to refactor something in the future. But refactoring is something that happens all the time.

For example, you might have "comments" and "posts", and later merge the two entities and call them "notes". Now you have to figure out a way to merge the identifiers -- with UUIDs you don't have issues like this, because they are universally unique.

A lot of developers have found that UUIDv7 provides the properties they want (unique identifiers which sort by creation time), and they don't come with the hassle that other approaches come with.
For decades I've heard, "what if the scientists are all wrong and it's not as bad as we thought?" and I always thought (not being much of an optimist), "what if they're wrong and it's worse?".

I do ! But the point technology is not the one to blame, it's the current structure of society, in particular the one in the USA who throws people in poverty while there's so many wealth around.

I an in Europe and wealth is a lot more redistributed. AI will just amplify wealth accumulation but it's the policies who have to step up to counterbalance it with coporate taxes. Blaming AI is like blaming rain for being wet.

The atomic bomb was built by Jewish scientists from Europe who fled from the Nazis.

Rockets were built by German scientists who were (voluntarily) picked up by the U.S.forces after WW2.

Let's take a look at Sun Microsystems. Bechtolsheim is German, Khosla is from India (if I'm not mistaken).

The Google founders are children of immigrants.

ChatGPT was built by a guy with a Russian name. If Altman takes credit, that's just very American.

Most open source contributions come from Asia, Russia and Europe. Americans commercialize them, take credit and start bullying the original contributors.

Show HN: A non-VC backed content creation and social media platform
Hey HN, I'm soft launching my MVP today and would love to hear your honest feedback. For the past few months I've been working extremely hard on this side hustle in my spare time (I have a day job as a CTO).

I'm building a platform for writers, bloggers and content creators that's built for them rather than for investors and advertisers like most similar products and social media platforms backed by VCs.

I wrote about why I built it here: https://persumi.com/c/persumi/u/fredwu/p/welcome-to-persumi-...

And the landing page is here: https://persumi.com/

I would really love your honest feedback, if you care to share them with me. :)

In the next week or two I'll write about how I built this MVP in three months - the tech, the architecture, the experiments and the missteps... If you are curious, stay tuned!

Most people in this thread are either in North America or Europe, so options for managed services like Fly exist, and they are plenty. But for people in South America, what options are there for a Heroku-like service? I don't want users shooting off requests halfway across the globe and back when there are many datacenters a couple of miles from our users. I just don't have the time and resources to manage VMs and scaling issues. I need a zero friction "./serviceX deploy" experience.

Fly seems unreliable, but they offer a deploy region close to me. Does anyone have know of any alternatives?
The major consequence here is a few weeks of repair time, there wouldn't be much gameplay in Half-Life 1 if that were it :)
There used to be. In ‘Type 3’ fonts, each glyph is defined by a Postscript routine. They were not supported by any of the major display systems (Windows, Mac, X). Maybe NeWS or NeXT did; I don't know.
Soft sciences are easy to look down on because science lacks the systemic tools required to understand systems as a whole. The scientific method is a systematic, step by step process that examines components of reality: reality which is made of interconnected systems.

Both systemic and systematic approaches are required to understand reality [1].

The lack of a systemic method results in a "soft" science that is complex, ambiguous, and inconsistent. The fields within it are in the wild west, looking for a direction.

Humans have a habit of looking at something unfamiliar and thinking to themselves," I don't understand it, therefore, it is dumb."

Ambiguity can be difficult to handle. Many people take comfort in achieving an objective truth.

> location of birth may change

My British passport says I was born in Birr; my Irish passport says I was born in Galway. These are both correct, because they are answering different questions.

Put another way, this is an example of people in tech seeing computers as the end to a means while everyone else rightfully sees computers as a means to an end (aka a tool).

It's natural for the CS professor to instinctively teach how computers work first, because the computer is the goal. The inner workings of computers are the means to an end: "How do I make a computer say 'hello world'?"

But for everyone else like the history professor, they want to know how and why making a computer say "hello world" can be useful to them and their goals. The computer is simply just another tool that might help them achieve something, and nobody cares about how any of it specifically works.
Agreed. At the same time, my customers are downright joyous when the code works and solves their problems. I've had numerous occasions where people were thrilled to meet me and gave me more hugs and praise than I was comfortable with once they heard that I created certain tools they use.

So while I do try to write good code, if you are looking for appreciation, it comes from what the code does, not how it is written.

You should spend some time with sales leaders to better understand what's needed from a CRM.

I took a look at your CRM product and understand that your long term goal is a great ecosystem...however, your UI is missing the point of a modern CRM.

A CRM used to be account/contact/opportunity tracking. Now, sales teams use CRM as the de facto customer-focused data warehouse (because no one in sales actually knows how to query a data warehouse). These days I rarely use salesforce for anything besides looking up data that was written there by another sales tool via the API. The product focus should be on developing a great analytics solution for salespeople, not an online Rolodex.

I used to work at Salesforce and have deployed it at multiple startups as the founding head of sales. Shoot me an email if you want to talk more; I'm looking forward to the day that Salesforce is replaced by something that better fits the modern sales process.

The device manufacture could silently push an update to reveal the keys? but the semantics of a label aren't important.

I think the important question is should an authority be able to read messages and if so, under what circumstances?

What if it's to prevent a major terrorist attack, should you have an absolute right to privacy so much so that, a means that would never be used against you can't exist even if it means the loss of a lot of life?

As I say, I think the question should be around where we draw the line and what protections we put in place to ensure it's not crossed.
Likely because while Computer Modern was a great font for 1978, its last update was in 92 & it’s painfully outdated & low quality compared to modern digital typefaces.

Its continued usage is a crime given how good Latex’s typesetting is.

Frankly, I’m not a huge fan of its stale "Didone" style either. It’s a style that does better in advertising or magazine covers than for reading.
If the elevator is behind the center of mass/lift they need to push the back down, so they need to point up to raise the nose of the aircraft (other side of cg/cl).

The populist right's obsession with currency -- pointing fingers at state banks and currency systems and money lenders and so on -- is a product of their unwillingness to point fingers at real corporate sources of power & control in the world. In large part because they're sympathetic to them (or outright funded by them in some cases.)

At best this kind of stuff is a harmless ideological pressure release valve for a discontented middle class / small business / entrepreneurial layer squeezed from above (esp after COVID). At worst it veers into outright authoritarian & xenophobic politics and often blends in some anti-Semitism. Starts with rants about Bretton-Woods and the next thing you know you're hearing about the Rothschilds.

There was a whole wing of this stuff ascendant in the 1930s (in western Canada we had "Social Credit", for example) whose ideological purpose was to displace left wing populism and anti-capitalist politics with an explicitly pro-capitalist highly social conservative narrative which pinned blame for problems on "international banking" and, ultimately, Jewish people.

The latest flavour is obsessed with talk about "petrodollars" and cryptocurrency, and then you scratch a little and there's the face of Sergei Lavrov or Marie Le Pen hiding under the paint.

The world is f*cked and unjust but not for the reasons that these people go on about.
Yes, 2nd and 3rd generation.
I disagree with your statement. Audacity had a minor issue of data collection, which was to report user data to law enforcement if necessary. However, that can be disabled by the user still. Audacity is still open source and it still works. Yes, they didn't handle it the best but the attempted to make good of it.

Also, they didn't really screw over the user base of Musescore. Musescore still works great and they are providing an amazing product for free. Even though pure open source might not be their focus, I have a hard time condemning them for providing great, free products.

(I'm not affiliated with Musescore or their company. I'm just a happy user of both Audacity and Musescore, both of which are the only truly competitive free products in their respective domains.)
