I have a lavender bush in my front yard. Besides smelling nice to people, bumblebees seem to love it. I often see half a dozen to a dozen at least as I go by. Other lavender bushes in the neighborhood always have bumblebees, too. (And the lavender bush also seems to be pretty low maintenance; it was there when we moved in a decade ago and seems to be thriving while I've just left it alone.)
I've often wished for a tool that seamlessly organizes my digital life across devices. Imagine an all-in-one platform that syncs bookmarks, notes, passwords, and files effortlessly.

While some apps come close, having a unified hub would save so much time and streamline my productivity.

My link provided examples that did that! See the Iran study [0]!

> Spotify basically killed any money coming from the physical distribution - Worse than piracy, which was inevitable too at the time, but at least you didn't have to pay your lawyers to renegotiate with your label on top of NOT getting any money.

It’s even worse than you say — it was murder on digital retail too, right at the time when it was on track to compete with or exceed old physical sales.

Spotify adopted the economics of piracy and stamped them with the false veneer of legitimacy.
Have you considered finding a Connection Machine?

Nope, it works very well. I have been testing it routinely for a decade now.

The core to it is simply getting the "mobile" keyword out of the user agent string. That takes care of nearly everything, from there all you have to do is a simple css split for either desktop or mobile.

It very effectively covers all the major browsers, all the major platforms, going back at least a decade.
> It’s hard to make a simple chart of how fast science and technology are advancing, the same way we can make a chart for economic growth. But I think that if we could, it would present a broadly similar picture as the economic growth chart.

This is a common feeling but I think it is wrong. Consider the following intuition pump (due to astrophysicist Tom Murphy, one of whose blog posts is cited in the article). Take someone from 1880 and plop them down in 1950. Take someone from 1950 and wizard them into the modern day. Who has a harder time understanding the world? The one from the 50s may think our little black rectangles look a bit silly, but would suspect immediately that they are telephones and operate by radio. On the other hand, you'd have to teach the 19th century-dweller nearly all modern physics from the ground up.

Of course our understanding of some fields (e.g. biology, artificial intelligence) has grown by leaps and bounds since 1950, but it is hard to argue these advances have changed the face of the earth or our civilizational prospects in the same way.
This is changing the subject. My point was that 1) corruption exists and 2) it is not (in my opinion) a dominant factor in the justice system.

Regarding drug use: I do not think I have a right to tell other people what to put in their mouth / nose / whatever. It should be legal to use recreational drugs, just as it is legal to do many other very stupid things.
The real trick is to realize that having a 4 yr grant valued at present value is tough. only hindsight can give you a perfect picture of what you were compensated. This is partly why folks should always be selling at least a portion of their equity and shifting it into other assets smoothly as they vest.

My middle ground was to sell ~50% of my vesting meaning I took some risk off the table, but also wouldn't feel left out if it moonshot. People with economics (game theory) degrees likely could figure out a better way to deleverage + prevent fomo.
After reading multiple comments here, I decided to look it up, and discovered:

> Blooming is the process of adding your bath bomb dye to hot water and mixing it with sodium bicarbonate

So no, it's not just dissolving it in water. It's dissolving it in hot water and adding an additional totally separate chemical.

So no, the article does not do a "pretty good job" at explaining. It doesn't explain any of that.
It is the web-demo of the app that we have.
On our iOS and Android app, we have onboarding pages that guide you what our mission is, and how to use the app.
Sorry if the web-demo interface felt abrupt!

The goal is to facilitate people forming authentic connections using their voice in today's day and age where we are flooded with vanity-focused photos and videos and easy-to-misinterpret texts.

So far, the response from the actual users have been really great. I suggest you give it a try to connect with someone online1
So does your response mean (1) "take it easy on Namecheap because this kind of bait-and-switch is common among registrars", or (2) "take it easy on Namecheap because it was unintentional incompetence"?
Tangentially related: for reasons I don't yet really understand, the LORAs that I build for Stable Diffusion XL only work well if I give a pretty generic negative prompt.

These are fine-tuned on 6 photos of my face, and if I use them with positive prompts, the generated characters don't look much like me. But if I add generic negative terms like "low quality", suddenly the depiction of my face is almost exactly right.

I've trained several models and this has been true across a range of learning rates and number of training epochs.

To me, this feels like it will somehow ultimately be connected to whatever is driving minimaxir's observations in this post.
Why wouldn't it be the other way around? I know people who reduced inflammation by staying off social media and away from news media. These things tend to induce stress, which can cause inflammation.

Remember, "alternative medicine" is about your """liberty""", and totally not about selling you sugar pills for markups that even the pharma industry thinks is obscene.

Look Look at this """study""" we did where giving people anti-parasite meds made them more likely to survive covid! Don't pay attention to the fact that half the patients in this """study""" had parasites, because impoverished country, and parasites are known to leave your body struggling to fight infection, and that removing said parasites would absolutely leave you more likely to survive anything else, and that as a citizen of the United States, who has benefited from at least a hundred years of listening to, and funding infectious disease experts and using their advice to run public healthy programs, you most likely have no parasites in you......
I've recently caught onto the flutter bug and started creating an app my self. Really liking it. The DX is amazing.

You might need to add a splash screen by using flutter_native_splash though, 2s of blank screen is a bit misleading as if its not working.

There’s more general concept of perception here that is worth thinking about.

Users can get awfully confused by generic, misleading or overly technical error messages. So they call/write you and confuse you even more.

“There is something wrong about X.” Where X is some misinterpreted partial of a message. This only gets cleared up if you let them walk you through what happened step by step and/or examine logs etc.

Error messages are an important part of a UI. No matter if they’re user errors or internal errors.

There are always errors that you don’t foresee and just need to display generic messages for. But even then there should be a very clear, short(!) description and a unmistakable call to action.
An object without behavior is simply an object with zero methods. You don't have to treat that as a special case in any way.

Historically, Simula-67 replaced records (in competing derivatives of Algol 60) with classes, precisely because it was clear to the designers that an object is a fundamentally different thing.

And yes, of course nobody actually does this kind of thing with Point. The whole Java-style getX/setY business was never what OO is about. A well-designed OO language shouldn't make you encapsulate data until the moment you actually need non-record-like behavior.
The current USSC is very politicized and wanting to enact their form of justice that departs strongly with jurisprudence as it has been understood for decades.

In short they want to legislate from the bench.
Oh. I was sort of wondering why we were talking about Soylent Green on HN. I worried some VC had re-written a modern version of "A Modest Proposal."
There were two things I had to do to shave the last few seconds, the most beneficial was disabling all the unnecessary peripherals in the BIOS. When I looked at the Ubuntu boot log it said it spend 1.7 seconds uploading firmware to the bluetooth controller, which at that point was like 95% of the post-POST boot time, and not needing that I just turned it off in the BIOS.

There is the oestrogen-choline pathway, choline is found in the connections between neurons (brain fog), the cell wall and importantly in this example, the fluid in the alveolar which lowers the pressure for gas exchange which increases physical performance.

The body did everything right for males, by up regulating aromatise to convert the testosterone to estradiol and thus increase choline. They could have also consumed lecithin, choline bitartrate, Alpha GPC or citicoline to get their choline levels up.

Manganese to increase EPO levels and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), but then you might be accused of doping in the Tour De'France.

If they wanted to get their testosterone levels up, consume more zinc or pine nuts; to inhibit aromatase eat apple skin, rosemary and sources which are high in ursolic acid.

www.alibaba.com sells the cheapest ursolic acid.

Aldi's sell pine nuts, and there's plenty in of roasted pine nuts in the forests currently burning across North America.
This is true, but Porkbun couldn't be further from the big registrars like GoDaddy in their approach. It is actually difficult to buy a domain on GoDaddy for most people without getting sucked in to buying extras, whereas Porkbun barely even suggests extras at any point since I've been a user, and what are extras other places are offered for free.

That's exactly what happens in Argentina.

Thank you very much.

Voice connections without the element of vanity (photos, videos) can allow for authentic connections between strangers that texts cannot convey. It is what we believe in and first-hand experienced on our app.

We first want to achieve the network effect so that the platform has value to users, then we do have some premium features in mind that we can serve to enrich the experience of power users.

Thank you for your thoughtful remark!
That sounds pretty good to me, the most annoying part about these dating apps is that people match with dozens of other people and then don’t message or respond.
The Spotify example is similar to the Google impact: the last mile is the search engine UI that controls your access to content. Spotify is another UI as they are streaming services, etc.

Seems like a natural iteration in the ordering of complex systems. Beyond legal regulations it would be great to start to think about new solutions, if they ever exist.
Why ignore the facts?

The link had explicit examples of universal experiments that met the parent's goalpost criteria (i.e. "entire country"). See the nationwide program in Iran[0].

If you're not satisfied, then you need to provide your criteria and references to support your argument.

Both exactly equally famous for sometimes being an asshole?
they talk about this in the article, apparently there's an analogy to AM vs FM radio to be made with "FM" much more tolerant of interference in lidar
I believe this setup works (until it does not, but does work for a very long time) in Argentina in large part due to currency controls making it hard to purchase dollars.

Should the same high-inflation state come to the US it would be a very interesting state (technically interesting, not meaning this in a nasty "I plan to watch this show from the outside" way). With current opportunities to easily move between the dollar, other currencies, gold, BTC, etc. should the high (20+%) inflation expectation become entrenched the government will find it hard to force people to buy dollars.

When anyone can move a large hedging sum from dollar to Swiss franc or Norwegian krone, forcing the local citizenry to buy rapidly depreciated fiat is virtually impossible. My 2c.
Apple's customers had been screaming for better stability for years and Apple repeatedly tried and failed to deliver a meaningful solution. Even MacOS 8 introduced very limited memory protection that didn't help much in most practical cases. In context, it's really a story about an organization's capacity and will to rationalize - this very nearly killed Apple as a business.
This is a great opportunity to migrate to registrars like Cloudflare or Porkbun.

I bought a great domain name from Namecheap, after which they voided the purchase and made it a $1,500 premium domain. I recommend avoiding them.
One important detail to add: hinge limits users to one new match per day.

This fact also goes into the calculation when grading user interactions.
Errr my biggest shock and awe moment was Guild Wars 2. A bit after launch I was playing and an update came in. "Please restart the client now after patching"

Okay... Let's click that button!!!!

Game... shuts down... downloads an update... patches... starts up... loads me back into where I was.

All this in... 1 minute flat! Baldur's Gate 3 can't do that on today's hardware with an SSD and a much faster processor, and 4x the ram, compared to a game 13 years ago on significantly crappier hardware.

That's what solidified to me that the game was rock-freaken-solid.
That line of thinking is so prevalent it’s a standard polygraph test question!

“Have you ever driven while intoxicated?”

The examiner expects “No” and uses the reaction to gauge what a lie looks like for the remainder of the test. Never driven drunk? Screw you!

Don't they just create fake bot accounts to draw you back in when they detect you've abandoned the app? I'd imagine the app is tuned to maximum scam based on the individual user not using a single set of values.
Just a bit of my thoughts on seeing how this is being promoted, and the fine line/gray area between spam and an authentic "Show HN":

1. First, want to say kudos for building this app and putting it out there. It takes works and guts to do that.

2. "Overly promotional" submissions come off as spammy to me. Some of this is likely cultural, but things like "It definitely restored my faith in humanity" and "We are on a mission to end loneliness that is gripping our world today" are not likely to be that well received on a site like HN for an app that basically lets strangers leave voice clips. To be quite frank, I went and visited your site, and if it "restored your faith in humanity", perhaps your faith wasn't much in question to begin with.

3. Refrain from friends/colleagues leaving inauthentic comments. I don't know who "de4n_whit3" is, but the tone of his comment and his post history leads me to disregard it as BS.

Don't mean to be overly critical, but another commenter mentioned, "Agreed, the site would benefit from clearly answering, "what is this and why should I care?"", and you should try to better answer that.
I read the article, that isn't relevant to my original post.

The 'Algorithm' applies outside of one dating app.
That is great to hear!

Sometimes it is hit-or-miss. I think it might have to do something with the AWS backend that sometimes fail to connect instantly. We plan to improve on this for next iterations.
It isn't, really. My impression is that anyone could just sit in a parked vehicle with one of these and track what info is available. But they're not flashy enough by themselves. The drones are the sizzle that sells the steak.

I've had a problem with domain registration when I purchased a .com and they asked for all kinds of business licenses and asking what the purpose of the domain is. Obviously I was shocked as they have no right to ask for the purpose of the domain and I explained that this was not for a business but for a privately administered website.

My registration was being denied again after back and forth with support, without a refund as well. I eventually had it escalated to their legal team and they were able to clear the issue up and offer me an extension on the registration for the hassle.

I'm happy that they corrected their errors and there hasn't been issues since, but that type of process was beyond what I'm willing to go through as a customer. I then registered a very similar domain name using one of the largest providers without any incident.

Edit: Does anyone have a recommendation for a registrar that just completes the registration and doesn't "flag" domains or ask silly questions?
Dutch is not my first language but I play wordfeud in it sometimes; I was surprised to eventually infer that the Y was not used in any native words but still available in the bag. It's been a real challenge to use it to play the ~4 loan words I know that use it.
Don't bring your work home. Even better, see your work as a form of play to make it easier. It's worth re-framing work as play since nobody wants to see their work as drudgery.

Read a lot of this kind of post. Years ago I recall someone bleating for 8 cores when 1 or 2 was the norm. Now you want 256. Next generation will ask for thousands. All for nothing because you have no idea what to do with it except give the handwaviest justifications. A computer's a tool to do an actual job.

For Argentinian citizens what you say is common sense, backed by the experience of living with inflation for more than 50 years.

Not seeing those boot times, but I rarely reboot. I usually reboot my W10 box once every few months or so. Our IT department commissions our Windows PCs in about an hour. Something seems very very wrong here, but I'm not an IT expert.

There's one thing I absolutely will disable and that is the MFing pull to refresh. I hate that feature more than pretty much anything else about the Internet.

Users can't, for some hideous reasons that should be illegal due to accessibility concerns, disable it, and it is an excellent way to accidentally throw away your work several times a month if you don't have very steady hands, depending on if the back button decides to not restore.

Internet, even with modern TLS, is surprisingly usable on m68k machines. I recently played around with a contemporary web browser on my 25 MHz m68030 Amiga 3000 with AmigaDOS 3.2.1, and it was almost usable. I bet it'd fly on an '040.

ClassicHasClass has helped to keep SO MANY systems much more usable than the world would have us believe. Good work, and thank you!

Fundamentally, neither spotify nor piracy matter. People enjoy making music. Today, there are more people able to make and publish music then ever, but the day still only has 24 hours, you can't listen to more music then before. Unlimited supply, limited demand.
Many of the popular dating apps are all owned by Match group -- Tinder, Match.com, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, OurTime, etc. etc. It was a huge private equity play under IAC for awhile and then they spun out and IPOed but the universal dark patterns and enshitification isn't coincidental.

This is truly a nightmare. How did we allow such a crucial human function, finding a mate, to become monopolized? Both Democrats and Republicans need to date (though maybe not each other), so the issue should be bipartisan.

I feel like ever since Microsoft got a slap on the wrist back in 2001 (a few days before 9/11), antitrust law has more or less ceased to exist.
The KBI director's early comments on the case were borderline retarded, and the Kansas Attorney General came out publicly in defense of those comments.
