Alternative to 83B in Canada
hey founders, does Canada have an instrument that's similar to the 83b form that we file with the IRS after issuing shares? I'm thinking of working with a cofounder who's located in Vancouver and want to protect him from the catastrophic tax consequences of increasing the value of unvested shares.
Yes, in this case I'm counting the mathematical definition for a decoder that's required when compressing large corpii of text.
There are countless opportunities to capture the CO2 from industrial applications, not from the air. I’m hoping that many of them will be replaced by carbon neutral option soon, but things like burning domestic waste might not disappear soon.

I’m not sure how expensive it would be for it to be clean and pure enough, or what purity that process would need, but most of the cost you mention would be solved by colocating with a burner plant.
> An overview of all of mathematics

It covers only pure mathematics. From the Preface:

"... it was suggested that a more accurate title would be "The Princeton Companion to Pure Mathematics": the only reason for rejecting this title was that it does not sound as good as the actual title."
Didn't Google shut down this feature? Last I heard, someone "contributed" a image of the Android robot pissing on the Apple logo, which lead to the feature shutdown.

Didn't know Street View allows this still.
> That is - "equity" as I understand it doesn't need everyone to reach the same degree of success, it's more about making sure everyone reaches enough success ("to see over the fence") and beyond that to reach as much success as they each person can.

Okay, but what is sufficient success and who gets to define it? A CEO who says "25% of our employees are women, mission accomplished" would be tarred and feathered by the media and DEI activists. Even if that is the natural outcome of the choices individuals make in a society with excellent gender equality.

For example, Scandinavian women are less likely to go into STEM than women in less equal countries. If that is in fact a matter of preference rather than coercion, shouldn't the "equitable" level of employment in STEM be based on the level of demonstrated interest?

But in virtually every DEI training I have experienced, anything other than perfect representation is viewed as failure, and the agency of minority groups is ironically dismissed. It's quite depressing really. Maybe you prefer the equity model in theory, but from what I have seen in practice, it is often implemented in a toxic and divisive way.

Synthetic methane also would enable renewable, carbon-neutral plastics - I have a friend working on a startup that is using microorganisms to produce traditional petrochemical precursors and they have said a major barrier to this being green is that the methanol that the bacteria needs is typically produced from natgas now.
Maybe they could even charge people to read tweets! Think of all the money they could make!
> it's the holy grail for certain types of computational power

this literally isn't even known for a fact

Just recently heard that in my area, a local farm gets ~$650-$1250 per acre depending on the crop. I was told it went corn on the low end to hemp on the higher end. The conversation was specifically about hemp farming, so "of course" it roughly doubled.
I care about the process of determining truth. If one does expert deferral, then they should do so properly. Sadly Nature is expending their social capital as a scientific journal to pivot to a typical news organization.

If one is up to date with sc news, this article should not affect their beliefs.

But maybe some people are happy that they can share an article from Nature to convince their friends.
I get you but there is something about Location based roomscale that you cant replicate at home. And it's not just large m^2 of tracked space -- in this case it's tangible user interface at scale. Like a wall climbing experience where you are solo freescaling El Capitan from all you can tell. There are the tradeoffs but I like the possibility space it opens up to have highly controlled physical objects interacting with you in an otherwise virtual experience. Besides letting go of a 200lbs deadlift does kind of provide its own haptics ;}
I agree with you. ORM is for business domain object that you know of, are certain of, have clear definition of, and are the core data structures for your app. If you have to explore data in unintended ways, result-set mapper is useful. Another option is to provide an analysis tool that weaves into your app allowing you to run result-set mapper queries against your data source without having to make it part of your data access strategy in your application. Just a thought. Spring+JPA is designed for business, boring relational business, 99% of the time.
We’ve been building Design/UI development app with first class support for code generation (react + next) - https://www.kubi.design

It’s UI/UX is pretty similar to Figma (you can import from Figma).
We do support integration of your own design system, that means that you can use actual code components in design canvas with all interactions and business logic. (Currently we have integrated Ant design and Mantine libraries)

We are looking for beta testers who want to speed up UI development or simply save money on FE development.
I should have mentioned that my grandmother (who was in her late 40s back then, so not physically or mentally unable to deal with garage doors) had this installed because she was afraid of mice and didn't want mice getting into the garage. I think she imagined mice running in from the bushes if she left that door open too long. She wasn't worried about human intruders 50 years ago in Huntington Beach. Today she would probably have to worry a lot more about that possibility.
> Like if you hear a syncopated rhythm in your head, or tap it out, do you know the exact rest values you need to insert to achieve it?

Yeah, if I can hear it in my head, I can write it out, at least for the genres of music I’m likely to write. I used to do it on paper, so the playback function is nice to have but I don’t need it to know I have the notation right. I’ll fairly frequently make a typo in note entry mode, like forgetting to switch from quarter notes to eighths or whatever, and have to go back and change a note duration, but I don’t get in situations where I would need to insert a sixteenth and make the rest of the measure reflow or whatever. Not sure if that’s what you’re describing.
Do you have formal education? I’ve been trying to find an answer to this question, but it seems impossible without that.
Thanks for posting the guide. I took a look at it doesn't appear that the ISP is performing any DNS hijacking.

I'm using an updated copy of Firefox and Firefox ESR without any extensions. This has happened on Safari using MacOS as well. I'm aware of the default Cloudflare DoH settings and have this turned off, as well as making sure nothing is going through a proxy and all the settings are correct.
Thanks! That sounds like years of learning and experience distilled into a few paragraphs. Scary and interesting at the same time. Scary because learning math intensive stuff is 10x slower than coding stuff. I may never understand all that. Right now I am taking a break from learning deep and trying to have some fun, hence I am doing the fastAI course and hope to categorise dog and cat pics etc, and find a nice use case to impress the kids. But I will probably swing back round to this stuff at some point as it is fun (and unfun at the same time) to learn.
Raycast’s menu search works way better by the way
Is there an easy way to use these accelerators from the CLI? Sometimes I have to decompress several TBs of gzip files, but I don't want to rollout my own decompressor in C. I know that Graviton 2 includes a compression accelerator as well, but no idea how to use it (easily).
Yah I read The Martian before seeing the movie and found the movie left so much out! Makes sense as the audiobook is 10 hours and the movie is 2.
Not as narrow as many want to believe. The Wright brothers were the only ones doing actual engineering on the subject. They were 5 years ahead of everybody else and remember that being second is much much easier than being first, for one somebody else is the one making all the mistakes.

I would purchase a couple of google Nest webcams. It has smart alerts to tell you if strangers faces are detected. The added bonus is you can talk with her via the device when her phone doesn’t work. It works via wifi so you need good wifi and an electric outlet to plug it into.
> Protobuf is another library to handle cross-language serialization, but wouldn’t offer us the flexibility to add all the other features we now have — plus, it was a binary serialization when I last used it.

Protobuf has a well-defined text format, which is the top search result for "protobuf text" [1]. Proto3 also has a clearly defined set of rules for supporting JSON.

I honestly don't remember the last time I used wikipedia. As a member of a minority community. It doesn't have anything that I care about. My information resources are elsewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if the number of admins was cut in half again in the next 10 years.
> Considering this repo was posted to this site and prompted thousands of people to stumble on it by accident

but the guy himself didn't post it. how are people so entitled that they're upset about a deficiency in a thing that they sought out. no one is making you go the repo (or asking you to go).

it's literally like complaining about free samples at costco - if you don't like what they have don't take one!
Everybody always talks of a dream of a better shell. Where programs output structured data to each other and composition is free.

That dream is powershell.
I'm hard at work tracing out the 8088 die, so hopefully I can confirm this discussion at the circuitry level before too long.
Zerotier isn’t limited to IP, but will happily do other protocols as well. It’s more like a virtual private smart switch
From the wiki link of the z8000 there is a curious bit of Commodore history I never knew of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_900

C. had a pretty good deal with zilog, but they pissed it away for maybe not very good reasons....

Had things gone different C900 and the like might've been there instead of the Amiga.
Indeed. Please consider paying for it. Mathematicians aren't rolling in cash.

We don't know if it was a decision or a permissions error.
I've not heard that version before, I like it. The way I usually hear it end:

So, he yells out "102!" and... Crickets.

Yeah honestly some ipmi, cloudinit and (insert config management flavor of the week here) has been spinning up “private clouds” for decades with ease in large shops and in single server shops. We’ve had private clouds since the first person ran ssh commands against someone else’s dedicated metal in some dc.

The cloud is just “someone else’s computer”, not “someone else’s commercially available aws compatible api suite of service offerings that is operating against someone else’s computer”
Isn't it the case that time goes faster under high gravity? Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_Egg that would seem to be the case.
Unpredictable compression ratios weren't as much of a concern for me as physical failure. The bad taste was from having to unspool an entire backup tape onto the floor with a hand drill to get the tape reader operable again. All of this just so I can load another tape from the previous week to attempt a moonshot at restoring services before everyone wakes up.

You can test your restores all you want, but in an emergency, there is a chance it's going to jam up like a printer and destroy your backup at the same time.
Kinda off-topic, but this just reminded me of that story Paul Graham made about him being on Google Maps.
https://www.webtospeech.app

It takes a URL and a voice selection, sends it off to Azure TTS speech service. The backend handles converting the HTML to SSML, it's really a one step solution to converting web pages to audio files that you can download, or stream on the platform.

I use it a lot for Hackernews articles at work, where I want to keep working, but there's an interesting article that I want to read.

The voices that come from Azure are reasonably good enough.

It's just an Astro app for the frontend, with a golang service behind it that parses the webpages and sends it off the azure. Also using supabase for authentication and database storage, although I'm using Cloudflare for it's R2 storage of audio.

Have you contrasted this with cellular automata? It seems like an advanced form of that type of construction. Could possibly benefit from some formalization.
I got tired of tracking the status of my job applications in spreadsheets and emails, and built Rolepad (https://rolepad.com) to help with that. The goal is to help applicants focus on their job process and not expand mental energy on the mechanics of tracking dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of job applications. It's got a few beta users and I've gotten positive feedback, but there are still a few things I need to add before its ready for primetime (aka Show HN).

The tool is free and helps you manage your job applications, pipeline status, interviews, emails, notes, etc. Notable features include the ability to leave detailed reviews of your job process (+ read others' reviews and get various per-company stats... this is new, went live yesterday - tracking more fine-grained data than Glassdoor and others), forwarding emails to save@rolepad.com so they can be tracked as notes within Rolepad, sharing your progress via Sankey charts, and more.
Incidentally, leaked hydrogen is substantially worse, as a greenhouse gas, than methane.
This is great to know! Thanks for the update, I will take a look at the Linux version.
Before the function calling update[0] it was possible for the gpt models to use tools using specific prompts but it was unreliable. Have you tried using function calling to let the model build the calls?

Thanks for pointing this out. We updated our website.

For clarification, we weren't planning to launch until we had a proper looking website. Yesterday, I shared our GitHub repo on LinkedIn to get feedback from friends. Then, we saw this on HN - and realized that we haven't looked at our website in quite a while.

We're also trying to formulate a better point of view on the license and its implications. We Ask HN'ed several days ago, but there wasn't much input: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36998888

In the end, we picked a more restrictive license. An important reason for that is, we feel that we can move from a restrictive to a more liberal license easily. Doing the inverse would feel like not doing the right thing by our users.
To minimize risks throughout the contract lifecycle, organizations can utilize modern contract risk management tools. These tools allow businesses to identify potential risks and take proactive measures to mitigate them. By implementing these tools, organizations can ensure that they are fully aware of the risks associated with their contracts and can take appropriate steps to minimize them.
There was an earlier, and to my way of thinking, much better idea at Zilog than the Z8000. That was the Z280 (later christened the Z800) it was a 16 bit machine akin to the 8086 but with upward compatibility with the Z80 and a much nicer architecture. I believe that Godbout made and S-100 card with this processor at one time. I wanted one so badly and yet the 8088 and the IBM-PC steamrolled the industry because "big blue" and all that. Sigh.
>> CATL said at the event that the Shenxing Superfast Charging Battery is capable of adding 248 miles (400 km) in 10 minutes.<<

this is an extraordinary claim if true.
I sort of agree, but could be tempted to join a VR gym with haptic experiences I couldn’t get at home. Eg, a boxing experience that somehow includes a real bag, or rowing, or…whatever. I think there is a lot of room to be creative, if gym equipment can make VR exercise more effective and/or interesting, I would definitely do it.
I just wish this time sync feature wasn’t limited to only Western world and East Asia.

A nice feature, but not usable in Thailand, where I live.
Thank you for this excellent synopsis. One would think rheumatologists would be curious how many people with these symptoms could be helped with immunosuppression. Alas.
I invented this over 10 years ago and called it Pebbles. Got some stars on GitHub. I convinced Memrise to use it in production and it helped them speed up dev a lot.

Later when I worked at Facebook I saw that someone later made a similar library internally.
Website Lauch Checklist
I've developed a niche app designed to assist individuals in the Dominican Republic and potentially others outside the US who purchase from platforms like Amazon US and eBay US in retrieving sales tax refunds. The way it operates is by accessing data from your Amazon purchase history and your courier or forwarding service. From this, it auto-generates an email to Amazon to reclaim the sales tax. Initially, I aimed to introduce a commission-based model from these refunds, but this aspect is still in the pipeline.

The tool did function for a short while, during which it successfuly reclaimed a few hundred dollars in refunds. However, it broke when a courier site introduced reCAPTCHA at their login and Amazon made UI changes to their order page. I'm now at a crossroads, contemplating whether the upkeep required to ensure the app keeps working is worth my while, given how niche the potential market is. I am not sure if I can make realistically make money from this. Would love to hear insights or suggestions.

For reference, you can check it out at https://taxrefunder.io, although the core functionality is down at the moment.
As someone from India, this is false. How is the US responsible for China claiming Indian territory?

Isn't China at odds with every neighbor except for NK?

> Taiwan is entirely a US creation

Do you forget that during WW2, US supported mainland China with aid? Without US opening up its market, mainland China wouldn't have developed so fast.

In many ways that matter, current mainland China is more of a US creation than Taiwan.

Also, Taiwanese people are not puppets.

> And china should take it back

Shouldn't and couldn't. The US accepts a one-China policy. So the other way could also happen.

> Imagine if after the civil war, china got involved and 'liberated' the south from the north.

The difference is slavery. Taiwan is not going against CCP in defense of slavery.
I was confused about the $70 dollars in the headline because I remember doing the same thing with a ~$5 BLE dongle 6 years ago. Turns out they included the cost of the RPi that the dongle is connected to.
Breath focused meditation gear syncronized with pulse rate - today people breathe based on a count, like 4-7-8 is a popular pattern. 4 count inhale - 7 count hold - 8 count exhale. problem is the pattern doesnt account for metabolic level, so I plan to use pulse sensor to monitor pulse and breathing count will be in terms of pulses. This might create some feedback loop so not sure if it will work.

The gear I have is a cheap heartbeat/pulse monitor integrated with raspberry pi.
What, we didn’t get Electrek’s take on the superconducting ion rings? Wonder who paid for this article.
> GPS signals are much higher frequency and very low power and thus don’t work indoors.

With a $20 antenna placed near the window, together with a modern receiver, it is easy to get nanosecond level of precision for GPS systems. Some receivers even have in-door precision specification.

GPS not only work indoors, in terms of timing, it works actually pretty well indoors.
The popularity of your opinion depends a lot on what you think we should do about it.

Reduce the percentage of kids that need services by putting more effort into improving pre-natal care? Cleaning up environmental contamination?

Or just cut spending?
I find the presentation on colocating agrovoltaics inexplicably endearing: it’s the softer side of Solar-punk, I guess.

I will always fondly remember a presentation explaining that you could have strawberry fields or goat-herding under the shadow panels and how they worked together well: evaporation lowers the temperature of the panel, and goats cleared the vegetation around frames—when someone (who looked like he operated a farm) heckled, absolutely deadpan: “That won’t work. Goats are going to eat them strawberries.”
The urban mythology around forced namechange is immense. I have read the Sami people were single named, and made by the Finnish state to adopt surnames, with a proscribed list of names (Stalin, Hitler..) they couldn't pick.

We were told (racist?) officials at Ellis island picked names like Goldwater for immigrants to make fun of them, but we are also now told this was pure myth, and more likely stories of German naming practices for absorbed Jews in the 18th and 19th century (Napoleon basically enacted emancipation for european Jews, and the emergent states acquired citizens as a consequence, as I understand it) carried forward.

If you are obliged to pick a name by petty officialdom, having fun with it seems like something some people would do. I think now we're aware how problemmatical a name can be (Little Bobby Tables) this is something wiser parents don't foist on their children.

A colleague from Indonesia has one name. Many Indonesians have one name. Most non-indonesian forms assume two, and demand a family name, so they double up their single name. It can make for some fun times presenting ID at borders.
Where do you drive? In the United States everyone understands the custom regarding hazard lights. They serve two purposes:

1. To indicate that you intend to drive very slowly in the left lane for no apparent reason.

2. To indicate you just ran into Whole Foods for a La Croix and that's why your Tesla or Mercedes SUV is parked in the fire lane with a French bulldog in the back seat.

I have not seen people using their hazard lights to park, so I wonder what country you got your driving experience in. The American custom varies from place to place. In Los Angeles the hazard lights are never used to park, even when the rear end of the car sticks out into the street because you were rushed for a meeting or yoga class and couldn't bother to parallel park. In Portland the drivers use orange cones and wear a safety vest to park, not the hazard lights. In Las Vegas drivers don't use the hazard lights, or any lights, because driving with the lights off even at night saves electricity.
This is hard for me to grasp. It seems like an automated conversion tool that takes existing posts and then makes them audio. I see it as a tool since your whole landing page is basically an ad for a tool.

Yet you position this as a platform, but don't really show it. There is no sample content nor people to follow. I also don't see typical stuff like how long it will take to read (listen). No leader board. No examples of personas. Why a whole screen to explain the name?

If instead you kept it as a tool but positioned it like AI that first makes you a better writer, second adds emphasis to the speech to make listening interesting and adds music and intros and ads, third preps the file for other platforms.

Your tech stack writeup url is ugly and I would not want to listen to it without knowing some tool had trimmed 80%.
