This has probably been asked before, but has there been any thoughts about moving community chat to a platform other than Discord? Discord has been brought up many times on HN for its accessibility/privacy/proprietary lock-in concerns that don't seem to be in line with the spirit of open-source. Also see [1].

I can't recall where I read it, but I thought they moved because they didn't see a future in Boston. They thought the VC community just wasn't viable there (which seems like a bet that panned out - not many prominent VCs in Boston compared to their peers).
It's by default opt-out and am pretty sure the prompt doesn't apply for Apple's own apps.

And since you brought out the opt-out option, one can also block Facebook's trackers through uBlock and/or DNS filters.

The defaults are what matters. From the same Wikipedia article,

> Users can opt-out of IDFA via the "Limit Ad Tracking" (LAT) setting (and an estimated 20% do).

80% users never change the defaults.

I have been testing out Bun w/ Nest JS, and oddly it can run a dev server but can't run my E2E tests (using the Bun test runner). I think this has something to do with Nest's heavy reliance on old-school TS decorators.

Zinc-air is a primary cell. Once discharged you throw it out. This means external infrastructure to support recycling. What is the agenda of people pushing a poorly written thing like this? Not gonna lie, I broke a personal rule reading something with "could" in the title.
Yes, but they only use vague words without any numbers that could support their claims that hydrogen is viable as an aircraft fuel.

They should show the weights, volumes and costs for standard kerosen tanks and their liquid hydrogen tanks with the associated equipment, e.g. pumps, at the same stored energy.

At equal stored energy, the liquid hydrogen tanks must be much bigger and much more expensive, and as soon as they are partially empty they will also be heavier than the partially empty kerosen tanks. The maintenance costs and the risks of failure for the cryogenic equipment will also be much greater.

They do not say any word about any new technique used in their hydrogen fuel cells. All the kinds of hydrogen fuel cells remain too expensive, either due to using too expensive catalysts or because they have parts with a short lifetime, which must be replaced periodically, e.g. fluoropolymer membranes for low-temperature fuel cells or ceramic electrolytes (e.g. of ceria or zirconia) for high-temperature fuel cells.

As a loyal and long-time user of the original Procreate app (I bought my iPad basically exclusively to use it), and someone who's been interested in animation for a long time but too intimidated by the software to ever really get into making it myself, I'm extremely excited about this. If they can bring even a fraction of the usability and user-friendliness Procreate has to Procreate Dreams, I could easily see myself sinking many, many hours into it.

As soon as this was announced I instantly sent it to all my artist and animator friends, I think this is going to be a wildly popular app.
There's no way that's true. It may be "reported" as a typo or troll in the document.
Read the article

Reading the features I wonder if there are plans to also add linter and formatter to bun, it sounds compelling to use one tool for everything.
TIL about the Dead Sea Effect. I've been talking about the effect for years without realizing it had a name. Thanks!
> But yes it’s ridiculous that I can’t update Firefox snap while it’s still open.

Agreed, it really could use some kind of staging installation that it can quickly switch to.

> And that it won’t auto update if I just close Firefox after getting the pop up about needing an update and wait a few seconds. I’m optimistic that will happen.

This does seem to happen now. I'll get a notification that something has an update ready, I'll close it, and a few moments later a notification that the update has been installed and I can click that notification to relaunch it.

>Besides being wildly unprofessional, the people it's going to hurt are my former coworkers and the poor suckers who are hired on to replace me

Are you serious? Where's the hurt coming from?

I've been hired to take over a mess after people angrily quit more than once. The work I did took much longer than it would have if there had been a smooth hand over and there were tons of bugs and issues but the only people that were ever hurt by that were the shareholders and management with their deadlines and delivery schedules. I still got paid.
My experiences with Bun so far have been excellent. Its package manager and bundler in particular are extremely fast and pleasant to use. Not needing to care about transpilation or using ts-node for development is also wonderful. For all the tools I cared about, compatibility has been well documented.

I would have trusted it in production before 1.0 and moreso now. Unfortunately, I cannot use it for most projects right now. I package my applications with Nix for deployment and Nix and bundling JS dependencies is mostly not a great story right now. buildNpmPackage works just fine most of the time, but requires that I use npm to bundle my dependencies.

Of course, this is no fault of Bun whatsover. Bun can emit a yarn.lock that is compatible with Yarn 1. If it could also emit a package-lock.json that might unblock my use case. The more ideal solution would be to build an equivalent of buildNpmPackage that deals directly with Bun, but I'm afraid the effort would not be worth it right now.
It is well explained in the blog article: https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.0#why-bun-exists

This is extremely compelling for frontend DX.
This is called Text2SQL or NL2SQL, it’s a surprisingly difficult problem even with RAG and GPT4 as soon as the query is non trivial, especially if there are semantic differences between the question and the db schema.

I kinda disagree.

For example, expectations may come from work, but not from your work, but from the work of others not at similar workplaces (the "work culture" more in general).
One of the (mildly) "shocking" cultural moments I experienced when I first came to the U.S. more than a decade ago was that shops were mostly open at all times during the day and on Sundays (and some supermarkets 24/7, which was very new to me).

Did it inform me, rather brutally, about the way people in the United States view work? Yes. If I had had a conversation about the same work culture living all my life in Spain, would I have been informed in the same way? No.

I met some of my professional acquaintances in tech at the gym, not at work. It is much harder to get the same exposure in Mendoza, Argentina (first name that came to my mind, I am looking for wine).
I'm talking about a culture in mathematics that's intentionally allergic as a matter of custom to effective communication to anyone "outside".

This is so bad that different fields within the discipline can't even understand each other and they wear that as a badge of honor as if being opaque, uninformative, and misleading people is a natural law they're obligated to follow.

It's a truly bizarre social game. A cycle of gaslighting and abuse as an institution.
I am no bootlicker for any corp, but I do value and appreciate Apple’s focus on privacy, and I think that many criticisms of it is just nitpicky and doesn’t help anyone (e.g. calling that buy icloud service label an ad..).

On the other hand, I very much await sideloading to be forced out of Apple by the EU.

Again that’s you opinion.

There’s an exception for Google earlier in the file.

I wonder about Bing though, since they do seem to have Twitter results.
There's a big difference between

A. "I'm going to scrape the web to do X, Y, Z"

and

B. "I'm going to scrape Twitter data to do X, Y, Z"

A is far more likely to care about robots.txt because there's enough left of the web to complete their mission. B will not care if Twitter has a robots.txt file.
You're right. Usually the better people leave, and the people who remain are largely dead weight. Really good strategery there.
cryogenic hydrogen was always the centerpiece of hydrogen powered flight.

IIRC gaseous simply didn't have the right energy density to be viable. cryogenic also increased efficiency of jet engines and opened avenues for higher speeds (Tu-244 design, for example, for ~ Ma 3 supersonic transport plane)
Do you have terms that you prefer (to Server/Client split)? I agree they're confusing but I haven't seen any proposal that would address the issues with them without introducing other issues.

> was just so slightly above freezing

It usually feels much colder near freezing because of the humidity.

Once it's past about -30 it's extremely dry, and it feels much less cold. I'm much happier at -20 to -40 than just above or below freezing. Also snow just wipes off and you don't get wet.

The coldest day of my life was snowboarding in Juneau, AK. It was only -30C or so, but it was really, really humid. I was wearing everything I wear when it's -45, and I was freezing all day. I mean I couldn't feel my feet, hands, face and then had to constantly do pushups and jumping jacks to try and stay mobile.
How is that untrue for nearly any computing platform?
Probably some slight details of what is actually wrong, and where engineers are at in the process of fixing the issue. I don't think customers are looking for AWS-level incident details or anything, but people would like to know what is happening at a very high level, rather than completely generic updates for 16 hours.
ah there we go, the ad hominem. Discussion over
We can and have build tools for that.
Musk showed that if you fire a lot of your engineers, you very quickly start accumulating tech problems. In his case, it led to the absurd "tweet throttling" policy which opened the door for strategic competitors like Threads.
> If that was the entire point then I'm sorry I misunderstood you.

That's fine, no problem.

> Yes. But I don't see a problem with that (I mean you can still estimate costs and offer a price based on that).

It's not a problem in a capitalist or even a fully market-based system. My original point is that the information prices obscure might be functionally useful in a non-capitalist system.

> Same applies to labor though. e.g. it took the worker N hours to make it, he used up X amounts of calories to do that, his dormitory bunk costs Y etc.

Yes! There's some amount of cost to derive this information, and there would be thresholds where it just doesn't make sense to collect (or feasible). My point is that we actually do know the costs of various forms of labor and the amount of resources used in things, we just happen to throw them in the trash with each transaction.

> So what, though?

The information we throw out could be useful in scenarios other than "well, that's the price and that's all that matters." One example is the ability to price in known externalities of various resources (or the processes they go through). If you know fossil fuels burned at-scale are "bad" and you know exactly how much fossil fuels it took to build some product, you can immediately tax some externality-cost price amount of the product at point of sale.

In effect, this limits the scope of "economic planning" only to pricing externalities and lets "markets" (not really, because profit is gone, more like "distributed production") self-organize as a solving mechanism for those externality costs.

That's not to say you can't still use planning for bulding a freeway or a bridge or something, but fully planned economies are a beast of their own and I'm not a fan. This is a way of transforming markets into systems that operate within humanity's collective knowledge of the side-effects of production in ways that governments just can't handle.
If we're going to get technical, Facebook doesn't sell your information, it sells access to its ad network. Apple has an ad network it sells access to, too.
As a (mostly) former illustrator, I bought Procreate once and made thousands of dollars with it. My Adobe subscription, conversely, felt like little more than a tax on being in a creative field.

If NSO did not exist the vulnerabilities they discover would still be there. So I guess the complaint should not be that they exist, so much as their motivations and applications being questionable. It's an argument for something similarly funded to exist, but with an aim to responsibly report the bugs and get them fixed.
The industry is still struggling to track who's clicking on ads properly in all cases...we're very far from this idea of tracking cash purchases & building a profile with facial recognition. This sounds like science fiction. Are there any companies actually doing anything like this?

Closest thing I know is companies who sell "foot traffic" data, of who walks in front of your store. But that's done with phones pinging wifi networks passively as you walk, not anything as fancy as facial recognition.

Show HN: Find jobs at top AI startups
Hello HN, I am one of the creators of WorkInAI, and I'm excited to share our project with the community and gather valuable feedback.

WorkInAI is a job aggregation platform for positions at leading AI startups. We have compiled over 350 job listings from more than 20 top AI startups, including companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and more. We created this platform in response to a friend's frustration with trying to find suitable AI startup roles in London. He used to check various company career pages frequently to see if any new opportunities had arisen -- so we built this to aggregate jobs in a single place.

We're launching this MVP early to gather feedback, whether it's feature requests or suggestions for adding new startups to our list. We value your thoughts and input on our product and idea.

Thanks!

Definitely, much appreciated. You aren’t wrong about the fluff. We did user studies and showed people responded really well to this kind of landing page. I’ll see if I can have some more “hard facts”, but the average user doesn’t really understand the terminology which is why it’s dumbed down on this page - which essentially equates to fluff I suppose.

For the blog, it’s in the navigation, not sure how to have it more prominent without it being obnoxiously placed? Open to suggestions.

For the community, good points. I’ll make sure the subreddit and GitHub are more easily accessible as that’s where the community is based around and it’s very active.

You can't fix inflation of national currency by just not using national currency and switching to grey money used mainly by criminals like DPRK or Russia to bypass sanctions and get paid from cybercrime.

Actually switching to crypto and resulting lower demand for national currency would be part of the problem increasing inflation.
Leading a team is tiring work, so I hope Pietro has some time to recharge and then get back to the fun stuff.

Honestly, I’m not even sure why this has as many upvotes as it does: this is a pretty boring change, all things considered.
Let’s say you run a successful Ponzi scheme. You get ten thousand investors to fall for your fraud, and lead them to believe wholeheartedly that their money is safely invested in your scheme. When it collapses, the financial turmoil is so great it causes 0.1% of your “investors” commit suicide. In this case your fraud clearly had a strong influence on 10 people ending their lives. It seems to me in this case there is some argument for imprisonment in this case, as you would definitely go to prison for causing 10 people to die in other circumstances.
That's because it's not a full circle. There are plenty of subtle details that are new. The ability to interleave components written for Server and Client within a single programming model and with support for in-place refetching that doesn't destroy state is relatively novel — frankly I haven't seen something quite like it anywhere before.
Thanks! Yeah, recursive summarization of summaries makes its own summary go out of whack.

Should the managers who organized the layoff go to prison?

There is a drive within certain Big Tech companies to express as many machine-learning problems (really, computational problems) as suitably-prompted LLMs, and then deploy one uber-LLM model where all the other product tasks are specific prompts for the LLM. The goal is MBA-style synergy. If everything is an LLM, then you can optimize your TPU hardware for inferencing LLMs; you can put all your research dollars into LLM research; you have a common framework and common skillset for all engineering across the company; you have a common serving infrastructure when it comes to productionizing these models and deploying them on real traffic; and you have a centralized point where you can research & mitigate security attacks on LLMs.

It kinda makes sense, but it's up to the market to say whether this is ultimately a winning strategy. When it works it looks like the Wintel monopoly of the 80s/90s, where standardizing the whole world on an instruction set and OS (even if they were a bad instruction set and bad OS) freed up lots of capital to invest in the physical aspects of making chips fast, and so Intel ate all the specialized hardware manufacturers like Symbolics/Tandem/IBM/Cray/Sun because their higher sales volumes let them invest more capital into pouring more transistors on the chip, and eventually even the crappy 8086 architecture started to have better price/performance than a Cray. When it doesn't work it looks like lambda calculus & Church numerals: just because you can express everything in two simple primitives doesn't mean that you should, or that it's economically viable. If it doesn't work the 2020s are going to be open-season for startups to start eating away at Big Tech monopolies.

Smoke on the Water in a guitar shop is annoying simply because people playing loudly in guitar shops are annoying and that's one of the most widespread stereotypes of something an annoying person would play loudly at a guitar shop (incidentally, I'd argue that Stairway to Heaven is the more widespread stereotype).

A guitar instructor shouldn't criticize a beginner student for wanting to learn Smoke on the Water, at least assuming it's in the instructor's wheelhouse—it's also okay for a particular instructor to offer a specific curriculum rather than taking requests from the student.
