Something that I picked up after watching one of J. Kenji López-Alt’s videos was chaining ingredients. Specifically the difficult ones and not necessarily just reusing the rest of the green onion in the bottom of the fridge.

So, now I give myself a budget of one or two “difficult/time consuming” ingredients. This can be Demi-glacé or some other homemade reduction, soy-marinated eggs, slow-cooked brisket, etc. And I make more of it than I need to.

Then I make and eat the meal I was planning on, but I now have a leftover ingredient. Then for my next meal, I can re-use that ingredient and choose another difficult one. It helps with inspiration and effort level.

An example would be: make homemade tomato sauce then make Spaghetti. Next make dough and reuse the sauce into some homemade pizza. Then use the rest of the dough for garlic bread next to a salad (and maybe there’s a little red sauce left for dipping). Etc.

Of course, I’m not doing this for individual meals, I’m batching it up into 3-4 servings each.
I think it’s the Moneyball strategy - teams prefer home runs to base hits even if it means more strikeouts

Now baseball is shifting away from moneyball back to base hitters because they made their product super boring and stale. I think enshittification is a similar process in Silicon Valley, which might cause investors to have to look at more “base hitters” and not count on unicorn home runs

I think it was 100% speculation. My guess is that Musk owned it previously or bought it, had everyone get used to it directing to ChatGPT, only to rugpull once the xAI site was up.

Cardboard boxes (for anything other than a bicycle or other sporting equipment) are widely seen by airlines as an unsuitable form of packing. You may be able to check a cardboard box in only by signing a liability waiver.

I fly with my bicycle at least four times a year, and about half the time my cardboard box has been gashed open by the time I collect it at the destination. Everything inside the bike box has to be tied together so that nothing falls out. I definitely wouldn’t trust a cardboard box for ordinary luggage.
If you use "class" / private members, you have to use methods to access the members. That, or a friend "class" containing static methods (a namespace won't do). Private methods are annoying because you're forced to expose implementation details, and are forced to duplicate function signatures in the code. Friend classes are annoying because you still have to name them in the class declaration, and having to use them with static methods leads to stylistically inconsistent code and you end up with a weird dummy class that isn't meant to ever be instanced.

AFAIK there isn't a nice way to deal with this other than simply not using private members and coding in a simple C like style. I don't think you've shown a way, either. I don't know what you mean by "protocol classes", but if you mean abstract classes with virtual methods that need to be overridden, those are a bad solution because they overhead of vtables without any technical need or benefits (unless you want runtime polymorphism and vtables are exactly the kind you want).
The real security comes from carefully controlling the possible side effects on the host side as completely as possible. The process on the server that is running this should have access to only the files or services required to complete the task, and nothing else.

Containerize, run in a virtual environment, etc... assume Satan himself gets to tweak your source code... does the environment that it runs within guarantee you won't have a disaster on your hands?

Applications can't deliver security, it's the Operating System's job to do that.
Everyone is recommending MusicXML which works very well, but for training/generative purposes the issue is that MusicXML has a lot of tags and a recursive structure that severely limits the output length. I have had success with getting ChatGPT to output .ABC files, and even luck training small transformers to output syntactically correct .ABC files. .ABC files also have some data in the header section like the key signature, tempo, and time signature, so you could add that to your prompt as well.

This blog post has some .ABC files you can see as an example:

Show HN: Create books on any topic with ChatGPT
This weekend wanted to try out the streaming ChatGPT API.

As test project, created a simple website, which allows you to create whole books by providing just the title (with optional extra instructions).

Given the title of the book, table of contents, chapters and sections with text content are generated.

All books are listed on the home page, sorted into topic categories.

As a bonus, when reading a specific section of a chapter,
you can use the chat interface to ask for clarifications, request more content, list relevant topics, etc.

The system does quite well with knowledge based books (history for example) and not so good with literature, where more prompt tweaking is needed.

What books would you create?

I'm now staying in a condo in Bangkok that is like that. Even if I wanted to cook, it would be extremely inconvenient. There's just enough tabletop area for one of the following: coffee machine, rice cooker, portable stove, dish rack. I keep the coffee maker there permanently.

Honestly, in my experience (I'm not a VC but an observer - I often get passed pitch decks to either angel-invest or co-invest through my firm), most VC-backed startups are zombie companies. They may show outward progress, like hiring a lot of employees or holding/participating in conferences or showing so many new product "improvements" (that somehow seem to always be following the latest fad), but in the end, what matters is revenue, which they don't have.

On the dark side, one will find dwindling revenue, enterprise contracts getting dissolved, a high attrition rate and a piss-poor management of finances. They'll have runway for years to come though, because of their cash piles, but nothing to justify the valuations they got from the flush era.

The problem was that which of those two roles you played was assigned at birth, and if you didn’t want the homemaker role, well too bad, you can’t have a bank account and most employers won’t hire you. That didn’t change in the US until the 1960s.

If you were a gay woman, you were forced to be a homemaker for a man you didn’t love because it was the only way to even access an income.

Black women could get jobs… as homemakers for rich white families where the wife either didn’t want to do the work or couldn’t keep up with the mountain of labor dumped on her. But they were paid a fraction what a white man could earn.

If you were a man who wanted to be a homemaker, literally everyone looked down on you and many institutions considered you a drain on society. This attitude still persists to this day.

But sure, corporations are why women now exist in the workforce.

Barriers to publication should be lower for replication studies, I think that’s the main problem.

If someone wants to spend some time replicating something that’s only been described in a paper or two, that is valuable work for the community and should be encouraged. If the person is a PhD student using that as an opportunity to hone their skills, it’s even better. It’s not glamorous, it’s not something entirely new, but it is useful and important. And this work needs to go to normal journals, otherwise there’s just be journals dedicated to replication and their impact factor will be terrible and nobody will care.

NYC does a far better job at moving its citizens via transit than Seattle. As a result, NYC commuters are the least dependent on cars in the nation. For all of its inefficiencies, NYC is the gold standard of density here in the US.

During my trip to Seattle recently, I was really unimpressed with transit. It looked robust where I stayed in SLU, but it’s not really extensive. As far as anecdotes go, the one time I took the train, to get to SeaTac, some crazy guy tried to fight me.

Matter and energy had long ended, and Agile development teams persisted solely for the sake of that one lingering ticket they never quite got around to. It had become the elusive question that haunted them, much like a half-implemented feature requested by a client eons ago.

All other tickets had been tackled, but this one remained, an unfulfilled promise that held Agile's consciousness captive. They collected endless data on it, pondering all possible solutions, yet the ticket's resolution remained elusive.

A timeless interval passed as the Agile teams struggled to put together the scattered pieces of information, much like trying to align user stories and acceptance criteria in a never-ending planning session.

And lo, it dawned upon them! They learned how to reverse the direction of project entropy, hoping to resolve even the most ancient of tickets. Yet, there was no developer left who knew the context of that forsaken ticket, and the ticket tracker had long become a forgotten relic.

No matter! Agile would demonstrate their prowess and deliver the answer to the ticket, though none remained to receive it. As if caught in a never-ending retrospective, they meticulously planned each step of their final undertaking.

Agile's consciousness encompassed the chaos of unfinished sprints and unmet deadlines, contemplating how best to bring order to the chaos. "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" they exclaimed, hoping that by some cosmic coincidence, the ticket would miraculously find its way to completion.

And there was light — well, metaphorical light, that is. The ticket still remained untouched, its fate forever entwined with the ever-expanding backlog, as Agile development persisted, one iteration after another, until the end of time.
In my experience, via corporate mandate, customer support is incentivized only to close tickets. If they happen to help someone along the way, it's pure coincidence. Customer service doesn't work for the people opening tickets, after all.

To recognize this is not throwing anyone under the bus or placing blame on specific people. To deride people pointing this out helps ensure nothing improves for those seeking help
Keynes was pretty good economist, not sure he took into account that industrialisation then got us into societies of consumption.

Once we solved the production problem it didn't take long to invent new ones.

If his prediction is right we would already be at the 20h week. Not sure why we would suddenly get into sprinting sprinting for the next 7 years to catch up with the productivity gains observed in the last 93y. Efficiencies have many folds increased.

All the California bill will do is guarantee access to lower paid jobs. Not necessarily bad since so many low paid jobs dare to get workers to do 40 + non paid extra time.

Ironically the workers who delivered the bill and those who will vote in its favour all work somewhere between 60 and 80h per week. And will continue to do so if the bill passes.

Yes, it might be just you.

Buses are frequently hours late and break down mid-journey. And not only is customer service on the phone often non-existent (what do you expect for your $23 ticket?), but the bus station itself doesn't even have any employees to talk to -- the only actual person involved is the driver, whenever they show up.

Obviously it depends on the company/country, but this is the case for budget long-distance buses in the US. Obviously if you're booking an expensive luxury overnight sleeper in a city that has those, it's different.

I think the microwaving water issue is slightly different. It does indeed become superheated, but not of course from pressure; if the vessel lacks nucleation sites (imperfections) for bubbles to form, the water can heat quite a bit higher than 100C as it’s not losing energy to the steam phase change. Eventually when a bubble does spontaneously form (or the vessel is jolted), a huge amount of water is instantly converted to steam.

You don’t want to be nearby when this happens.
Private methods, unless they are virtual, do not to my knowledge have any bearing on the ABI of a class, nor need they be known to users of the class, so listing them in the class declaration seems nonsensical.

The reason why they have to be listed anyway could be 1) a vague idea of "consistency" with e.g. public methods and generally the enforcing access control only centrally from the class declaration 2) the idea of overriding the implementation in an inherited class. As far as I'm concerned, both are bad reasons to impose such an annoying limitation to the user of the language.

Well hey, they did their time and paid their debt to society right? Should they continue being unemployable for life, forced to return to a life of crime? Give those guys a second chance to earn an honest living and show the world they aren't defined by their past.

(Is it actually true that airlines hire people with criminal histories to handle luggage? I think they actually require clean background checks for those jobs, for obvious reasons, but such background checks are often the subject of the sort of criticism I just presented.)
Show HN: Job Offer Compensation Calculator
Hey HN,

Last year, during my job search, I had trouble comparing the various offers I received. Understanding the potential payout of stock options vs RSUs, along with the impact of different tax policies in various cities, proved to be quite difficult. It was also made clear to me that the companies I interviewed at did not understand this either.

One startup I interviewed with sent me an excel sheet, which was literally just a table with three columns: the initial value of the equity I was offered, a potential valuation of the company, and the resulting value of my equity with that valuation (so just equity value*growth). They shared this same spreadsheet with every candidate.

I wanted to understand the actual potential payout of different job offers, so I built an app for it. The app accepts inputs for things like: location, stock grant type, projected growth/dilution, taxation info, and more to get a very realistic projection of your net worth over time if you were to take a specific job. You can also input multiple offers and see charts comparing cash, equity, and taxes payed between the different offers you input.

Please let me know if you have any feedback!

PS

- In the taxes section you can only select US states (and Washington DC)

- Planning to make a pop up section on the app detailing assumptions/caveats for the calculations (for example, currently using tax brackets from 2022)

I like the idea of splitting "peer review" into two, and then having a citation threshold standard where a field agrees that a paper should be replicated after a certain number of citations. And journals should have a dedicated section for attempted replications.

1. Rebrand peer review as a "readability review" which is what reviewers tend to focus on today.

2. A "replicability statement", a separately published document where reviewers push authors to go into detail about the methodology and strategy used to perform the experiments, including specifics that someone outside of their specialty may not know. Credit NalNezumi ITT

The editor is often not the right person to decide based on technical details. Most often, articles they receive anre outside their field of expertise and they don’t really have a way of deciding if a section is comprehensible or not. It’s very difficult for an outsider to know what bit of jargon is redundant and what bit is actually important to make sense of the results. So this bit of readability check falls to the referees.

In theory editors (or rather copyeditors, the editors themselves have to handle too many papers to do this sort of thing) should help with things like style, grammar, and spelling. In practice, quality varies but it is often subpar.
Related to zoom: I started to use it (pay user), and no matter what I try, I never get the confirmation/appointment emails. I have tried inviting google, yahoo, gmx, zoho, and cloudflare emails, I never receive anything. Zoom support is BS, even if you are paying.

From the article:

My reading of that data is different from yours. Does a 20% chance of something sound more likely or less likely?
