Interesting, for context in Australia almost all goods and services that aren’t billed based on usage must clearly outline total cost - if you order something you can expect the marked price to match the reciept (unless the receipt is less, common in retail discount offers)

We also don’t have tipping culture, you can tip, but it’s not an expectation. Though, the latter is slowly creeping in.

If that were the case, it would be very appropriate for them to publicly acknowledge this with a root cause.

I don’t give them such benefit of the doubt because occams razor in this case is that the company has a vindictive and childish billionaire at the helm, with a history of prioritizing edgy and spiteful actions.

Seriously, try Svelte. See how its Stores API works. For bonus points, look at the Context API. Between Stores, Context, and what looks like plain ole JS in the component, state management is a solved problem. With all due respect, calling it a "monolith" out of hand just screams you haven't even looked at solutions and don't know what you're talking about.

SolidJS stores work the same.

In other words, this is basically a solved problem unless you live in the React ecosystem.

Two points.

Might be easy to miss, but I think the equally (if not more) concerning result of this study is that "Results were posted for 103 studies (25%) and, in 24 (6%) studies, results were first posted within 6 months after approval.". Now, clearly the FDA has the unposted results to make their decision, but I do agree that it's incredibly concerning that these results are being posted promptly.

Second... ugh, I wish they just published their scraped dataset along with this letter. It's only a 413 row spreadsheet. Come on.

Contrived arguments about whether something is a tax or a user fee has been a feature of politically motivated spin since basically forever. I would say any essential service (like access to internet, roads, healthcare, etc…) that requires for money to be paid to the government is taxes. There is no way to get access to the internet without paying these taxes to the government, and your suggestion to implement a private-land-only infrastructure is silly. There is no contiguous area of private land between my house and an ISP POP that doesn’t cross over publicly owned land. That’s almost certainly true for you too, and anybody else who’s reading this.

It's just some lighthearted snark. No offense meant.

I needed a point of reference for the analogy. If I'd mentioned PHP instead, people would have come out of the woodwork and vigorously protested.

I figured there wouldn't be many Perl fans left. (Still tongue in cheek.)
Fair enough yeah, I know he doesn't care about what ppl think, but would love to hear a proper explanation.

I couldn't even duplicate it for multiple NYT links on the site (last night). People were jumping to conclusions based on personal tests etc.

Anyways, usual sh*tshow all around, just kind of wary/embarassing to see it jump out of a random Tell HN: thread on here to news sites.
You don't have to engage in small talk or chit-chat: just have a genuine conversation with the other person, and end it when it starts to get tedious. I don't see these conversations having to last more than 10 or 15 minutes; an hour would be a really long time, unless you're enjoying it.

Agreed, this is not always fun or easy, but it may help to approach it like a hacker would: given a seemingly impenetrable system (a stranger's personality), how do you find something in common to talk about?

How to begin the convo and guide it will depend largely on who you're talking to (complete stranger, acquaintance, etc.) but a good starting topic would be something simple like websites and/or something related to your area of expertise or interest. Pro tip: ask them what things they're interested in and see if you can find common ground.
Having taken part in many build-vs-buy decisions, there are no easy answers. The overriding factors in most decision relate to the specifics of the business. Some very common reason for buy decisions:

- You don't actually know if this feature will be important long term

- You have many urgent needs, the opportunity cost of waiting for "build" to finish is too high

- Your company is, for various reasons, unable to attract and retain the kind of talent who could maintain a system of this complexity (I realize this sounds like "we're not willing to pay market reates", I promise it's more complicated than that)
Ah yes, it is clearly incumbent upon all other industries to modify their practices to pave over the gross deficiencies of self-driving cars.

I mean this is just a terrible analogy to start with. I guarantee you it's a lot quicker, easier and cheaper to change your TOTP authenticator than it is to change a fucking fridge.

You clearly didn't understand the point I'm making so let me be more explicit: I don't expect people to know everything. As you allude to, it's impossible to know everything.

What I do expect, is for people to learn and try to resolve problems they face, rather than just sticking their head in the sand and pretending there's nothing they can do.

A more accurate analogy using your fridge example would be:

Johnny buys a POS Samsung fridge.

Unknown to Johnny, Samsung fridges use R407c refrigerant which causes the compressor valves to wear out prematurely. The compressor on his fridge needs to be replaced after just 3 years of use.

Rather than asking others for advice on the issue, Johnny now tells anyone that will listen, that all fridges will all need their compressor replaced after 3 years.

That's what's happening in this thread: zero requests for information or help about the issue; multiple posts claiming things that are factually incorrect, with absolute confidence.
People try to drive on wet concrete all the time. It's super bad for the car, especially if you let it dry.

You’re not wrong. But HNers have decided that their employers are terrible tyrants, companies are awful entities that are both efficiently Machiavellian but also incredibly stupid and unproductive, and managers and executives are just foolish people who work for status and have no idea how to do actual real work.

And yet, somehow, these companies have existed for decades and the only time they’ve died out is usually because of technological leaps implemented by a competitor that looks very much like them.
Although I have FOSS projects, there is no social media so far. There are several difficulties.

> Bluecheck-bros are prioritized. Content is heavily rate limited. DMs are restricted. Obtuse algorithms rule supreme. You'll also be sharing the space with an increasing amount of far-right influencers and a diminishing number of reputable scientists.

There are some problems with Twitter, including some of the things listed here (and many others beyond these), but some is unclear. How much rate limiting? Send or receive or both? And if there are other people on there, that isn't such significant; at least on Nitter (I don't know if you can directly on Twitter, but probably you can), you can view messages from an individual user account or messages belonging to an individual thread, so you do not have to display everything.

> I will argue that the 10+ million people already on the fediverse are actually the exact group of nerdy open culture enthusiasts you wanna be reaching out to. As the common startup advice goes (which I can attest also holds true for community building), this is where you'll find the first 10-100 people who love your project.

It would be a good idea, because currently hardly anyone has the interest of my projects (other than myself). It would be helpful to make them well-known, although for the mainly discussions forums of my projects I would want to use NNTP instead (which I already have set up).

> [Fediverse] runs on the same interoperable internet protocols that enable you to view this HTML document in a standards-based web browser.

It is true, but both protocols are too complicated, and have some other technical problems.

I would want to make the discussion forums for my projects to be on NNTP, and I have a NNTP server set up for such a thing, but currently it is hardly in use by anyone. Furthermore, I think what I had read is Mastodon does not implement ActivityPub client-server protocol anyways, and only server-server protocol is implemented.

Mastodon also is requiring their own protocol which is not indicated by the URL (since many instances are possible) and which does not seem to be a way to identify it. And then you will have to use their HTML and JavaScripts etc (and, I do not want my messages to be blocked by such a things, if I can avoid it), and if you want to customize you will have to know each one, to do it.

> Hachyderm checks all the boxes most OSS folks should care about

That is hardly even half of them. Also, some of them are not clear enough.

Another note about Mastodon (and about Fediverse in general): When blocking users or instances, there should be possibility of (if the blocked instance does not cause excessive flooding) to hide them from displays which are not explicitly showing them (e.g. replies to a thread which is being displayed; users can still hide messages from individual users or instances or whatever else if they wish to do so), rather than necessarily having to be blocked entirely. (Although the things people say about it suggests it doesn't work that way, even though I am not sure why it shouldn't work that way.)
We expect human drivers to attempt to avoid accidents which are not their fault (see: legal duty to lookout/avoid), why shouldn't we do the same for non-human drivers? To not do this seems like a step backwards in safety expectations.
> Actually, people DO claim that [MAC table limits make IPv4 over Ethernet infeasible]. Flat Ethernet doesn't scale, and you need to use routing to break up broadcast domains.

This has nothing to do with unicast MAC table limits, and everything to do with ARP's O(n^2) scaling property. You use just as many MAC table entries in a network with 10 VLANs of 100 hosts as you do with 1 VLAN of 1000 hosts. Ethernet scales fine; ARP doesn't.
> that anywhere civilization occurs, a government does as well

This is because beyond a certain amount of complexity (e.g. on the path to civilization), you better have a government what orchestrates favorable outcomes.

One way to frame it might be a chicken/egg problem, as you say, but that just begs the question whether one can meaningfully exist without the other?
Burton Weltman, the author of this article, is a humorless old man, who plays an old game of reframing whimsical and fantastical in cynical terms, but he doesn't do it for comedic effect, no he plays it straight! Mr Weltman has at least two things going against him, he's an old bore (he was a history professor for 20 years, god help his students) so his imagination and whimsy faculties have entirely atrophied, and before that he was a deputy attorney general for the state of New Jersey, so it's a safe bet he didn't have imagination and whimsy faculties to begin with. Reading this article is a literary equivalent of approaching an old man at a dinner party expecting a lively conversation, but the man starts telling you how we should outlaw kids, because they are noisy and rambunctious and make messes wherever they appear, and you think that it's a jest, until you realize with horror and pity that the man is dead serious and is in the early stages of senility. As you attempt to flee you hear his last attempts at your attention, something about hitler being a kid once.
You're thinking about the wrong bandwidth here. The article is talking about going from the GPU's RAM <-> GPU cores (i.e. through load/store instructions in a cuda kernel), not from CPU's RAM <-> GPU's RAM. That kind of bandwidth is still important but usually not the bottleneck on most ML workloads.
I’ve had pretty easy access to wild pawpaws and tried them a bunch over the past couple decades. I’d say they are not for everyone. I find the initial flavor ok, quite mild, with a weird dry/bitter aftertaste that I don’t enjoy. I don’t bother picking them anymore.

Definitely worth seeking out and trying if you are curious. But I think their reputation for tastiness has been enhanced by the difficulty of getting them. Only folks who truly love them put in the work (like this guy) to evangelize them. And in general, rarity tends to make things seem more interesting.

Discrete events and very small numbers make it hard to draw good conclusions, and you shouldn’t extrapolate like that. With the exact same logic, you could have argued yesterday that Cruise vehicles are less likely to drive into concrete than humans with an extrapolated rate of zero! This claim is just as suspect as the other — n=1 just isn’t giving you enough data.
It’s just another variation of “do more with less”

If you want to play that game now we get to compare the number of human operator hours per wet pavement incident vs self-driving cars. A quick google search suggests the estimated number of human drivers on the road today is 1.4 billion. The rest of that calculation is left as an exercise.
> I think it’s important to bring these points up ad nauseum on any discussions involving this technology

Yeah, hijacking and derailing every distantly-related discussion to your pet political issue has been recognized as bad netiquette since, at least, the early Usenet days, and its definitely not appropriate here. There is definitely an interesting and important discussion to be had about the practical, ethical, and legal issues around AI training and use, intellectual property, and the market for works of the types that models are trained on, but your overtly stated crusade to hijack all AI image generation conversations onto that topic is wildly inappropriate for this forum.
My reasoning here is this: it should not be legal to provide pricing when the customer already owes and has no choice to go elsewhere. That price should be zero.

Capitalism is playing with supply and demand. Holding people hostage is not it.

Example: I went to Hawai this month with my wife and the fires broke out. So I went to United’s website to move up my return flight. They said in order to have the option to change the flight free of charge I needed to upgrade from Economy Basic to Economy for $90 ($45/person). After I did, the site said there were no flights, however I could see the flights on kayak. So I call United, and indeed, they had a flight, but it would cost $1000 ($500/person). The return flight cost more than the entire 2 way flight as originally booked. Plus the $90 upgrade for no fee changes.

Either the $90 or the $1000 should be illegal.

I was simply entertaining the 'statistic' posed by the parent at face value. But you're right, we don't know whether or not this is an outlier event.
That seems like an incomplete thought.

What kind of cycle are you suggesting, and why does the fact of "there's a second-place for hottest 30 days long ago" indicate a cyclic or repeating pattern?

I might wake today with a 24-hour temperature average that is hotter than any other 24-hour period except that one time I was sick as a child... but that doesn't indicate it's somehow normal or not due to events within my control.
One of the articles about this past weekend's Cruise traffic jams mentioned the company blamed a flakey cell phone signal as the root cause. Now why would having perfect access to cell networks be required to keep the car driving... I suspect because Cruise is relying much more heavily on remote human drivers. It would not surprise me to find out Cruise is just a big scam and the self driving algorithm fails so often the cars are basically just remote piloted taxis.
Years ago when I was cycling home from work in NYC, a driver cut from the middle of 1st avenue and across the bright green bike lane to make a left turn. I and four other bike commuters slammed into the back corner of her car as she cut across the lane. The driver stopped, walked to the back of the car and lectured us on the dangers of cycling. Before we could compose ourselves, being in a jumble on the ground, she got back into her car and drove off.

I was equal parts shocked and impressed by her. But she was definitely the sort of a-hole who makes cycling a more dangerous endeavor.
"car stuck in concrete" on google image search shows a lot of human-driven carnage.
Honestly, I'm not exactly sure about that myself. Someone asked for that feature on reddit and I realized that it wouldn't be too hard to add it, so I did. Another poster here mentioned that it might be useful for doing word-level highlighting of what was most relevant to a semantic query string within a sentence. I do think it is able to capture a lot more nuance simply because it's giving you so much more data. The question is how best to leverage that incremental data and take advantage of it, and I'm still trying to figure that out.
Do you have any other sources for health concerns about pawpaws? This slide deck jumps all over the place and has a big disclaimer up front that it is educational only and not intended to actually mitigate any disease.

I still see a roughly 2 second delay on first grab. The second is immediate.
But human drivers have similar accidents.

The good news is they can fix the self-driving software then replicate the solution forever in millions of cars.

Now, how to prevent the small number of humans who do the same thing?
You couldn't do that before. Combining a PHP backend and a frontend framework meant you had two different html templates.
I don’t really see the problem. Of course, CSV is more of a vague description of a family of pseudo-standards, rather than an actual standard. But Modern CSV seems like a fine name for an actual standard that takes inspiration from them.
There was a gap between the beta expiring and me reaching out and requesting an update, which you supplied. I think the first replacement also expired and we had to make another request but I could be wrong, I'm no longer at that company and have no way to verify. Maybe not.

I am not claiming you ripped us off or that your product is no good. Pretty sure we eventually purchased 4 licenses, because it is a good product. But better communication, taking the whole thing a bit more seriously, would go a long way. You knew what day the betas were expiring, instead of leaving all the customers hanging, you could have proactively sent everyone license keys or a longer-expiring version. You could have posted a quick status update on your web site. As I mentioned in another comment, I vouched for you internally and when asked about it months later (budget reviews, etc) with still just a beta version, I didn't have any answers.
Sure, check the rest of human history though. Things moved at a fairly glacial pace until the industrial revolution. Since computers we've accelerated that even more. Things move very fast these days compared to 2000 years ago.
