It's working just fine.

I guess if you want drug use to go down, or to reduce deaths etc. if those specific metrics are you goals, and nothing else matters, that's one thing. Maybe it is not "working" by those standards.

But I don't want a government having any opinion on what people put into their own bodies. It is a health/medical issue and, in a broader context, a liberty issue. It is not a legal issue in my opinion. Regardless of drug use statistics, no one belongs in jail or with a criminal record for no reason other than possessing and/or consuming an intoxicant. I don't even care if drug use goes up with decrminalization or legalization. In my opinion it is simply outside of the proper moral scope of a government to concern itself with such matters. Feel free to disagree. This is my personal political view.
We used TipTap to great effect in an old iteration of our product at credal.ai. It helped us create nuanced text tagging behavior without too much time investment. Would happily recommend it.

I grew in upper middle class southern California. I work in tech for the last 7 years.

My parents house went from $500K when they bought in 1995 to +$3M today. If my math is right, that would mean the all-in payment (principal, interest, taxes) would be around $20,000/month at today's rate. Assume you do not want to spend more than 1/3 of your income on housing, your household would need to make $720,000/year.

Nominally, I make a lot more than my parents did at their peak, but in real terms, I can't afford a home in the neighborhood I grew up in.

Anecdotally, the only people I know that can afford to live in my old neighborhood are young people who get help from their parents or people who bought way before covid and rolled up their existing equity into their new home purchases. Among the upper middle class people I know, no one can afford that area or they are not interested bc they think the cost is not worth it.

What's going to happen to the firefighters, cops, and teachers in that area?

Promising Cancer Drug - AOH1996 Cancer Drug Paper
There's a difference between a person who uses weed for fun, and a "stoner" which is closer to a functioning addict. A person who takes a toke every other night "to calm down" probably isn't a stoner. The guy who has to puff before work because he doesn't function otherwise is a stoner.

Even if it is true, we are a long ways off from Star Trek utopia. No idea if macroscopic quantities can be robustly produced, what their limitations will be, cost per gram, etc. If the material is confirmed, there will be oodles of money pumped into the space, but it could still be years before commercial applications begin to appear.
> Electric cars are not intrinsically more expensive. Because EVs are simpler mechanically they will be cheaper to make than ICE cars once the battery packs get cheap enough.

This is nonsense, because the battery packs are already cheap enough. The value of savings from cheap battery packs is simply not being passed on to the end consumer, because the car companies and dealerships can get away with not doing so.

It doesn't matter if Ford or Tesla builds battery packs for $90/KWh and the engine is 2x cheaper than the ICE car, if later on it is marked up appropriately to be sold as a luxury good.

NONE of the battery packs in current EVs cost more than $10000 to make, for ANY manufacturer. Which means they are pricing the econoboxes that contain the batteries at $30,000, which is ridiculous.

(Disclaimer: I work at Webrecorder)

Our automated crawler browsertrix-crawler (https://github.com/webrecorder/browsertrix-crawler) uses Puppeteer to run browsers that we archive in by loading pages, running behaviors such as auto-scroll, and then recording the request/response traffic in the WARC format (by default in Webrecorder tools, then packaged into a portable WACZ file: https://specs.webrecorder.net/wacz/1.1.1/). We have custom behaviors for some social media and video sites to make sure that content is appropriately captured. It is a bit of a cat-and-mouse game as we have to continue to update these behaviors as sites change, but for the most part it works pretty well. The crawler also has some job queuing functionality, supports multiple workers/browsers, and is highly configurable to set timeouts, page limits, etc.

The trickier part is in replaying the archived websites, as a certain amount of re-writing has to happen in order to make sure the HTML and JS are working with archived assets rather than the live web. One implementation of this is replayweb.page (https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page), which does all of the rewriting client-side in the browser. This sets you interact with archived websites in WARC or WACZ format as if interacting with the original site. replayweb.page can run locally in your browser without needing to send any data to a server or can be hosted, including in an embedded mode.

I'm really excited by the concept of local LLMs, we give to much of our data to the cloud. We should embrace local first principles with all these new AI tools.

Sure local inference if harder than in the cloud, but hardware is getting better all the time, and we are still early on the optimisation curve when it comes to LLMs.

I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing smaller less resource intensive models that are easer to run locally, even on mobile.

Does anyone who of any research info "trimming" or "stripping" less used parts of a LLM so that you can take a trained weights and make them smaller (obviously with loss of some sort)?

I'm a full-stack engineer with a passion for crafting excellent user experiences. I love cross-collaborating with Product and Design teams, as well as with other engineers to brainstorm efficient and effective solutions.

Recently, I built a feature flagging platform called Fána (https://fana-io.github.io/) with the purpose of making it easy for developers to test in production via segment targeting.

And the issue being that it takes a lot of energy to super cool those superconductors, and thus they can only be used in highly specialized applications. A room temperature superconductor would be like any other conductor, just much, much better.

Thanks to everyone. I understand this much better.

Another way to look at it is that they're _more likely_ to be corrupt because they have an insatiable appetite to amass as much money as possible. They're "wired differently" from the average person.

Anyone who is a billionaire has enough money that they could cease working and live in extravagant wealth the rest of their life.
It seems fair to compare to folks from the same country in this context, no?
I think the critical temperature was 400 K (127 °C).
I got a waxed jacket a while back. It was at some trendy designer store I haven't heard of, and overseas. It was ~$80USD, and lasted 5+ years.

I don't think the issues for the well-known brands have much to do with the materials. Instead, I think it's because there are a few traditional brands using traditional (non-optimized) production techniques, then charging large margins.

That's fine if you want to pay for the best of the best, but it would be nice if there were a bargain route too. e.g., for iron cookware, two good brands are Lodge and La Creuset. Heirloom-quality Lodge pans start at $25; La Creuset is many times more expensive because of the [traditional] ceramic coating.

I don't know of a company that's comparable to Lodge, but that makes oiled/waxed outerwear.
It's a terrible luxury product though because 1) Prop 13 means that people from 50 years ago are still in the luxury neighborhoods 2) Crime is not sufficiently eradicated even from expensive areas
Ah yes, the battery which is the most expensive part that also determines range doesn't make the car more expensive. Let's the poors have a 1kWh battery.
We experimented moving to Playwright but Playwright doesn't handle long-running browser sessions well, as the devs have (maybe rightly) prioritized its use for testing over archival use cases and want you to spin up a browser each time. For archival purposes, that doesn't work as well because we're not able to save the browser profile to retain cookies such as login credentials, so we've moved back to using Puppeteer for now.
I agree that nobody needs a multi-hundred or thousand dollar iron just to learn on, but I think your rec of the pinecil for beginners is a bit flawed.

To start with, the fact that the manufacturer includes the instruction set and address space size before the heat-up time makes me pretty skeptical. I get that its hackable, and that's cool and all, but as with all "smart things", I care about the "thing" part way more than the "smart" part. I can implement a PID controller in about 20 minutes (maybe an hour if I need to bit bang the pwm output) on any number of microcontrollers; that's the easy part.

Also, the USB-C power supply is going to be nothing but a headache. I already have drawers and drawers of usb cables that can't handle the current I want to use, now I need to keep careful track of my soldering cable, which only performs at 60W over USB (and at best 90W using a barrel jack supply)? And the iron doesn't even come with a power supply, so you have to go source that too. It may be $40 for the iron, but then its another $10-40 for the power supply, plus (as you say) an appropriate stand, brass sponge, etc, etc. Suddenly, the dedicated station like the (very affordable Hakko FX888D-23BY) starts to look pretty good.

The pinecil seems like a good thing to keep in your crash bag, but it feels a bit like refusing to buy a power drill because your swiss army knife has a screw driver.
Will it grow? If the battery packs are trash, there wont be an affordable used car market, as no one is going to drop $10k to replace the pack in a used car.
So it only works for a specific type of egg? My wife prefers over-easy - that's basically impossible on stainless?
Yeah, there's definitely lots of variability in both the per diem rates and how people spend it. I'd work 4 weeks on/2 weeks off (and travel some more), which I valued more than being back in my apartment every night.

We rented a 3BR for practically nothing and ate out just about every night (food was cheaper there than at home). I basically lived off of the per diem and put the actual salary away for the off-season.

Most of the people I worked with, myself included, were young and (more importantly) single and traveling all over the country was a plus. One of the electrical foreman used to work in Antarctica, and I forget what insane amount of money he made there, but I'd definitely have jumped on that even for half the pay.

Re: Hourly vs. Annual - I'm speaking more to the fact that it's non-linear, because of the per diem and lots of overtime.

I'm not sure I'd call it glamorous, but I'd definitely do it again if I didn't have a family to consider.

(My wife used to do commercial fishing, which is perhaps even more un-glamorous, but there's something satisfying about coming home after a few weeks with more money than you know what to do with - at least in your early/mid 20's.)

I get where the author is coming from, but I feel like his conclusion is reductionist.

Yes, on the one extreme you have Facebook, and the other extreme is say Mastodon, but there's also a huge middle way which is well populated.

This week I've browsed hacker news, Wikipedia, done some research for an upcoming trip, kept up with OpenSSL and Jquery (yeah, that's still around, and still useful.)

I bought some waterproofing (direct from the manufacturer), looked up nearby steel manufacturers, and looked up the phone number of my electrician (on his site).

In cases where I feel I might be tracked, I just open an incognito browser [1]. Mostly though (apart from news) I don't really find myself on sites driven by advertising.

If you spend your day on social media, news sites, or buying everything online, then sure, I get it, you're gonna get tracked. But that's really (for me) a tiny part of my browser history. Everyone is different I guess.

[1] yeah I know, tracking is more than cookies, but I see so few ads anyway I haven't even bothered to load an ad-blocker. Then again, I'm not on social media...

Thank you, this is valuable feedback for us and you’re not the first to say so.

To be honest, we’re still thinking about pricing and I’m sure there will be updates in the (hopefully near) future.

Personally, I’m a big fan of usage-based pricing because it’s the fairest approach. We are also thinking about splitting the price tiers into different modules, e.g. for OpenAI integration, collaboration, maybe support and so on. I said “hopefully in the near future” above because it’s going to be a huge amount of work for us to change that (for example, we have to change our payment provider) and we’re currently focused on other things like implementing new features that our users are asking for most.

What do you think about module-based pricing (in combination with usage-based pricing)?
I dunno. For me it is a running gag when I go to a McDonald's in a distant city, particularly in a foreign country, and say to somebody who's been waiting in line "... I thought this was supposed to be fast food".

In software development it is quite official that a fast computer is a good thing, I mean, idle minds do the devil's work if your compile takes 40 minutes.
Well, prices aside, there currently is no Ford SUV. I've been shopping for an EV but the current offerings still don't replace my ancient Ford Escape. Still waiting for the electric version...
When I visited Cali, I was hoping I'd be surrounded by ambitious people who wanted to work hard and make a lot of money.

I was disappointed, everyone seemed normal. Maybe a bit Epicurean hedonist. Since my local friends are this work hard and make a lot of money type, and it took a half decade to meet and cultivate those friends, I decided to stay local.

Me and the wife have the resume for Cali, but we decided that profiting 300k/yr + our ambitious friends made it obvious to stay. Maybe if she sells her local company, we'd reconsider it for that nice weather.
New cars in general are a luxury. Lots of people rely on their 2k beater to get to work, shop for groceries and drop off kids at school.

Should they be priced out of the economy completely?

Show HN: Visualize Your Spotify History
I made https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36714254 a bit ago, people seemed to like it, and since then Spotify has responded to my request for my full playback history, so here's a version that works for Spotify!

What's nice about Spotify's data is the playback timestamp and listen duration is included for each individual stream, this means you can scrub through portions of your history on a weekly/daily/monthly/etc. basis and see how your interests have evolved over time, or alternatively look at your full history and see how your interests repeat across time.

For instance: I seem to not listen to Lorde on weekends: https://spotifystats.pages.dev/?main=day&break=artist, and March 2022 was a nearly 24/7 Grimes marathon: https://spotifystats.pages.dev/?main=hour&break=artist&start...

Anyways, you can request your own data from Spotify at https://www.spotify.com/us/account/privacy/ (make sure you pick the Extended Streaming History!), there's a link on the site to email yourself a reminder so you don't forget the URL by the time Spotify gets back to you, but the Cloudflare/Mailchannels API doesn't seem to be working very reliably so probably better if you just bookmark it.
Japanese and South Korean increasing technical prowess didn't, why would Chinese be any different?

China has serious fundamental problems and if you account for its gigantic population - it's seriously underachieving not only compared to US, but even compared to the rest of the developed world.

It's fashionable to talk about China taking over, but it's far from guaranteed. China is pretty much confirmed to be falsifying its economic stats for example [1] [2] but people just take them at face value anyway. I don't understand why.

> We've plainly seen over the past several decades that the War on Drugs is an abject failure. All it's done is increase incarceration rates (without solving the problems of drug use and addiction), and many people caught in the system are just drug users, not distributors/traffickers. This really doesn't help much of anything.

Given that Oregon stopped its war on drugs and has had a terrible experience, I don't see how anyone can honestly believe that the war on drugs did not reduce the rates of drug use and addiction. This is not a political issue. Come to Portland and see. It's not like any other city. People engage in drugs freely and with impugnity. Correspondingly, people overdose continuously.

It seems obvious to me the war on drugs kept addiction rates and usage rates at a much more acceptable level. At least, it ensured the dangers of drug use didn't spill onto the streets (needles in public parks; drug users in public restrooms... places kids go).

Thus, it correspondingly seems obvious to me that the higher incarceration rate is worth it.
Woooahhhh 50k average? It's never crossed my mind to pay that much. Most of my friends don't own vehicles they paid more than 30k for and that includes a bunch of well-off software engineers.

What's the median or if they exclude top 10% of earners?

Edit:

For a few years now the Chevy Bolt would be the EV I would get if in the market. Ford has nothing comparable but they are, supposedly, thinking about bringing back the Fiesta as an EV. A brand new Bolt can be had for mid 20s.

Mormonism is perfect for raising little worker bees.

Mormonism deeply values work ethic and breeds a strong trust of authority.

You're taught at an early age questioning authority is a sin and doing what your leaders tell you is the right thing to do.

The end result is a group of people who are hard working, don't question leadership, and do what they are told.
