I've had fun playing with lit+mobx - there's

and (documented as based on the former)

https://github.com/adobe/lit-mobx

already out there, and next time I get some Copious Free Time I plan to experiment with adobe's connector plus mobx-state-tree (https://mobx-state-tree.js.org/intro/welcome).

Smartness is a multi-dimensional attribute. For example, a smart motor mechanic and a smart software developer are both smart in their respective fields, but neither is likely to be seen as smart in the other person's domain.

As a very broad brush generalisation, you become smart by learning from those who are smarter than you in your chosen field. You could accomplish that by reading, seriously studying, being mentored and most critically practising your "craft".

If you simply just learn a huge pile of facts and are able to regurgitate them at will, then most people will think you are a "smart alec", which is probably not what you want to be known as.
It isn't so much about competitiveness or pettiness, but rather about individualism. Americans for some reason always like to think that everything was invented by a single super-genious individual working alone in a cave with a box of scraps. That's how it's always presented in the media - superheroes (alone or in a very small group), lone scientists, billionaires who single-handedly created their wealth from scratch, etc.

Neither of these things magically make your review more trustworthy.

Getting free stuff taints your review, and it doesn't matter if it is low value or not. And to be fair: People get their utilities turned off for these amounts. These amounts keep folks from affording medicine. Some of them simply wouldn't be able to review so many games if they didn't get them for free.

People are more likely to view the company favorably if they are getting the product for free - and are likely to review games they wouldn't otherwise review. They should reveal this sort of bias. And it doesn't matter if you are "low stakes" or not.
i don't like redmond-puffin because it makes the mistake of baking "human" into the training data, which is quite difficult to avoid as it's a pretty common practice... and unfortunately it looks like luna-ai-llama2-uncensored bakes "assistant" into the training data!

so both those models are probably not suitable for simulating interactions between non-human, non-AI entities... the chronos and hermes models only do input/instruction which are incredibly generic and you can just eschew the format altogether, and it follows chats correctly with no bias towards human/user/assistant.

that app looks very interesting though, reminds me of something that we were planning to make, but gave up because winui xaml is too cursed
Just want to say I'm using Shoelace in two Rails projects and I absolutely love it.

You only need to be worried if your skillset is "deprecated", for example if your current position of 10 years consists of mostly Adobe Flash programming

In fact if your skills are applicable to the job market you are in much more demand than any 20 something year olds even if they have 5 years of experience with the same technologies
I like this feature. May be I'm using ChatGPT wrong, but I start new conversation almost on every new question. Sometimes I'm reusing conversation for similar questions.

I'm generally satisfied with ChatGPT, however I'll try to tune it a little bit for brevity. It spends too much time trying to be unnecessarily helpful and polite.
Ask HN: Team of senior engineers can't find clients. How to market dev services?
Hey guys, throwaway because this isn't meant to be an ad.

I have a team (I'm one of the engineers) of very senior developers in Europe, all speaking perfect English: 3x frontend Angular, 2x backend Python, 2x QA; for what I think is a very reasonable price - around 200-250 EUR per man-day. We have worked together for more than a year on a project we've finished in May and it's been incredible how well we work together, so we'd like to continue.

I've been trying to find a client for us for over a month now. I tried Facebook ads and LinkedIn posts, both with zero replies. We all tried reaching out to our network but they told us they want employees and just one/two of us.

How do people market services such as ours?

May be almost zero, but it's not zero! I have never tried DRAM-less NVME SSDs, but I have some samsung SATA 840-870 ones (tried several on this range) that consume around 0.2W on the most idle state they support. Considering my budget was 2W, it is not negligible...
I don't know about taking offence but there's something grating about the
tendency to try and "rank" everything (either explicitly or implicitly) - which underpins so much internet content. Such discussions always feel like those "who would win in a fight" conversations you may have had as a kid.

This is not to say everyone is equal let's all sing kumbaya but if we're discussing classical composers do we really need to rank someone vs Mozart/Bach/Beethoven? It rarely adds anything.
Depends, if the alternative is those laws are changed or removed from the statute books, their existence counterproductive for sure.

If the alternative is all the bad laws society regularly bends or ignores outright (suggesting there’s little or no democratic support for them) start being aggressively enforced, I’ll take never enforced every time.

In many societies there’s plenty of the latter.

Nice! I am also hoping to leave tutorial hell so this was the perfect post for me. Focusing on the last part: how much experience did you have with JS before designing the site?

NASA is not focusing on only this rock. Here is the current state of asteroid sample return:

It's always interesting that someone pays those who serve in this way. There can be problems, of course. but the solving process should not be like this.
Right, but is your suggestion to say "business as usual" until we have definite irrefutable proof for each and everything? I have no idea how likely or unlikely it is that having plastic in our bodies has any negative impact whatsoever, but that doesn't mean I can't still try to reduce the risk of accumulating more of it in my body. As with most things in life it's a tradeoff, with convenience mostly.

I don't have pans with teflon anymore. I avoid plastic bottles for beverages, which means I almost never drink any soda. I got rid of almost all my Tupperware and use paper bags or boxes made of steel when possible. And even though I grew up using the microwave a lot as a teen, I somehow ended up never owning one myself after moving out.

Yet for some reason I still managed to survive.
I'm still surprised nobody with a hard-on for justice took this case pro-bono.

I'm a pretty big board gamer with a collection somewhere north of 300 games and I feel by and large the influencer community isn't as bad as in other niches. Most people will state very clearly if they got a review copy or have other relations (sometimes they'll review a game from a publisher were they are also publishing a game soon etc.).

Mostly, the good creators are still people who like board games and there's not so many that have more of the "pro influencer" vibe. Not surprisingly, there was a pretty big shitstorm around one of the channels that always seemd super influenc-y recently (don't want to explicitly name it but the channel name related to the typing in Python).

However, I'd argue that board gamers tend to be overly enthusiastic in reviews in general and focus mostly on the positive. We (I'm not a content creator just a player of games) want to like games as a default :D
I'd also say that written text is still quite valuable in board gaming circles with boardgamegeek as the obvious example. At least I tend to research there and get my first contact with new games from Geeklists and the likes rather than from videos.

Apart from review videos, another kind of video is rules explaination (or playthrough) type of videos. These are somtimes payed for because (frankly speaking) the publishers couldn't do it themselves at these price points. To me this is a perfectly fine source of income for youtubers. Some content creators also do this for free anyways but typically these videos are very neutral just focusing on the rules. From a customer's point of view they tend to be quite good to get an impression of the games without any review content.
I'm not a Fly.io user nor affiliated with Fly in any way. I read through these comments and realize it's not possible to distinguish competitor/disgruntled/negative-astroturf from actual user. The "screw you guys, I'm outa here" opinion of someone running a Discord bot on a free tier who uses the public forum for customer support isn't the opinion you want to use to measure Fly customer support. What are paid production users experiencing?
The federal government "eroded local control" and forbade states from enforcing immigration laws, despite itself being derelict in enforcing those laws: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/21/us/politics/supreme-court...

States agreed to some written terms, limiting their own sovereignty, to join a union. That union then ignores terms it dislikes. States try to enforce those terms, but suddenly the union changes tune, finds that enforcing (some) terms actually is important, and stops those states.

But preventing laws from changing from city to city is the real tragedy.
They definitely have some filters. I don't remember exact question, but I saw questions which repeatedly result in "model disconnected" error (or something like that). Which obviously is a result of filter terminating the conversation.

For all his obviously high intelligence and more than anything, organizational ability in partly directing the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer sort of pales in comparison to the true genius and all-around polymath who worked on the same project, and so many, many others. John Von-Neuman.

Even among many other extremely brilliant minds he was recognized for being exceptional. Some of the quotes from other scientists in the Wikipedia link below really hammer home his particularly, peculiarly unique brilliance. I've never seen Oppenheimer described this way.

As I have grown older(early 40s), I too have observed this effect. Not that it is absolute, but there is certainly a correlation between looks/attractiveness and whatever they want, money, attention, partners and so on.

The most depressing part was when I in my early 20s realized there are people in this world and seeming quite many of them who have it 'easy'. They live their life's without struggling with the small stuff, everything just comes. The big stuff takes time of course. Not that they don't have their own subjective experience of struggle, its just on another level both personal and materialistic.

As you say physical fitness it maybe the only thing one can do in order improve ones standing unless one has some innate talent which can be exploited.
It turns out that you don't even need those for the case where the radiator is difficult to access, because you can get an unpowered remote TRV that works via (it appears) some kind of heat pipe. Eg: https://www.screwfix.com/p/pegler-white-remote-adjustment-tr...
I have a use case that uses a similar solution, but for a different reason: it doesn't scare me to use timestamp as sort key I since I know my hash keys are unique and I only write every few seconds. But I still add random amount of ms (well under the frequency of writes/updates), because otherwise I'll be hitting hot partition issues on the GSI (indexed by timestamp, as you can guess).
It’s just helium. Have you ever bought a helium balloon, the kind that float? This is the same stuff that’s in the balloon. It’s also used as a mixture gas by deep–sea divers. It's chemically completely inert; breathing it in doesn’t have any particular effect on the body. It’s harmless, unless you fill an entire room with it so that all the oxygen is displaced.

Are people really so scientifically illiterate that they immediately assume that if anything goes wrong with a complicated machine that it will be harmful to their health?
Don't forget most of us are using Leibniz' notation for calculus, though. They invented calculus around the same time.

Australia's "PayID" system gets around this by allowing you to pay to a mobile phone number or email address (generally findable via your phone's contacts). The implementation is a little clunky, but an additional benefit is that it's a bit like DNS for your payments - you can associated those details with different bank account to redirect payments if you move.
Also why math is never an experiment apart from geometry? For example one could easily do the coin toss and write down the actual 1s and 0s coming out of the tosses. The small difference between resulting numbers in class and yet their closeness to 1/2 should make this day a success for a teacher.
Because Microsoft, Apple and Mozilla can still exert pressure: "Support this feature we enabled and benefit from 20% less traffic with users of our browsers" and "Use Edge/Safari/Firefox to browse the web faster (and with metered connections: cheaper)" still has an effect on Chrome's decision making.

Chrome had that code, hidden behind a flag. There wasn't any kind of activity. No questions "when will you put it in by default in Chrome?". No other Blink-based browser (Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera) that could easily pick up the support by enabling that damn flag by default did so. Firefox hid JXL support even better than Chrome. No image sharing site that did the math and considered "200KB for a polyfill saves us and our users megabytes in traffic on each visit" and acted on that.

That doesn't look like anybody is interested in JXL support.

I'm bringing this up again and again because I dislike that notion of "Chrome is the market leader and we're powerless to do anything about it. Bad Google." It neither encourages the Chrome folks to do better nor anybody else to pick up the slack. It's 100% complaint, no matter what Chrome does.
Hello,
(I’m co-founder of MonoPayments, white label payment platform for fintechs.)

If you want to pay less, you have to use local processors with local currencies. This would be a complex operation.

1. Establish a company at that jurisdiction
2. Make agreements with processors, it could be banks or wallet providers.
3. You need a treasurer (or CFO)
4. Foreign Exchange rates will be a concern after a while.

I think he’s fascinating and capable. I read American Prometheus a few years ago, which is the biography of him that’s really in depth and factually accurate. One note I thought was interesting was that Einstein was considered from a different generation of physicists and people looked at him differently.

But the book compares Oppy’s contemporaries like Hans Beta to Oppy and reaches the same “no Einstein” conclusion. But my read was that that wasn’t a bad thing, Oppy was extremely capable in physics, but his real natural talent was in bringing out the true insights from others rather than making those insights himself directly, and was otherworldly good at coordination leadership. Which is why he led the Los Alamos project.

I don’t think I view “no Einstein” as a dig, but rather a factual truth presented in the best biography of the man and meant to highlight his world beating talent.
I believe the VSCode UI components that are designed to be used both internally and by extensions have React wrappers pre-built - see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-webview-ui-toolkit/blob/... - and the source code to said wrappers might be an interesting read.
My spouse has the same issue.

Except that a lot of tax filing companies require a bank account with an American address, so it's always an even bigger hassle.
It's an incredibly good idea. Did you even read the article?

The expert wanted to teach SYN/ACK, which is completely irrelevant to the non-experts.
But shouldn't that be a separate field then?
If you avoid this and other easily avoided situations, like stop using soft plastic drinking bottles and stop reusing bottled water bottles, you would be a big step in the right direction though.
> which nowadays is basically all what these scientists use all day now

Newton was a genius, but calculus isn't solely his. A lot of modern calculus is closer to Leibnitz's formulation rather than Newton's, e.g. notation [0].

Fly postgres is not managed postgres, it's cli sugar over a normal fly app, which the [docs](https://fly.io/docs/postgres/) make quite clear. Their docs also make clear that if you run postgres in a single-instance configuration, if the hardware it's running on has problems, you database will go down.

I believe the underlying reason that precludes failing over to a different host machine, is that fly volumes are slices of host-attached nvme drives. If the host goes down, these can't be migrated. I _think_ instances without attached volumes will fail-over to a different host.

Of course, that's not ideal, and maybe their CLI should also warn about this loudly when creating the cluster.
