I feel like the rise of 3d printing and the falling cost of rapid prototyping has to play a part here.

A giant Rubik's cube is the sort of thing that one person with a computer, a resin printer, and an obsession could design and test until it's ready to bring to market, and which is such a niche market that it'd be a terrible business decision to do it.

Ask HN: Are there any manufacturing co-ops/shared services groups in the US?
It seems like farmers are successful with the cooperative, shared services model. Is there anything similar for electronics manufacturing and light assembly? What I mean is a manufacturing facility that a bunch of small hardware companies collectively own for the purpose of producing products for the members. Right now the only options are to manufacture in China or use an American contractor manufacturer. Small hardware companies don't generally have the volume to support in-house manufacturing.
Am I the only one who thinks you should not give a 2 week notice to your current employer when you get an offer, so that in the event your offer gets rescinded, you still have your current job?

The top one that springs to mind is the Joe Rogan Experience. Wildly popular, and reveals a massive market for long form in-depth discussion. If I look at a recent episode, he just had Tulsi Gabbard on - US Hose of Reps, endorsed Joe Biden now a Republican [0].

It isn't academic fare, but Tulsi Gabbard for 2.5 hours is a much more high-information look into US politics than anything that could be considered mainstream in the early 2000s.

[0] My mistake, she's technically an independent. Should spend some time listening to Joe Rogan I suppose.

Yes, I'm deluded for expecting people to have common decency and respect people's wishes. It also makes you a dick for not being willing to respect someone's wishes. You feel that all of the data that someone posts automatically means you should be able to consume it even though you specifically were not included just sounds like you have issues of being left out. Whatever the issue, just don't be a dick and know when you're not wanted to be a part of something and just accept it.
My large scale application certainly didn't run the pooler on the host. I don't see any reason to do this except for not wanting to become familiar with postgres itself.
Most large scale web applications spend their time reading and writing data, both to/from clients and to/from other remote services such as databases. You don't need thousands of hosts. Stackoverflow famously ran 9 server instances in 2016 with 7 dedicated to the primary sites.

Unlike postgres, Oracle and Sql server can support thousands of connections but they see performance degradation at a certain point. So I have never seen them crash from too many connections(Although they definitely get slower.).

While I'm sure the FCC has an end game of actually mandating these labels, the vast majority of IoT devices are not exposed to the internet and just aren't a major attack vector in most environments. How much money and time needs to be spent to secure an RGB lightbulb or a wireless speaker?

There is approximately one class of consumer devices that I suppose fall under the IoT umbrella and that are commonly attacked: modems and wifi routers. But these generally get security support. And if you had product labels, would it change shopping behaviors in any way? "This NetGear router will get security updates for 8 years" sounds great. But then, in 10 years, you might have the same router in your closet. Will you even remember the label by then?
That's such a coincidence. I was browsing Replicate last night for new models and played with the very same one and was impressed at the results (well, mostly).

You know, it occurs to me that part of their reluctance to jump in and help is that they know they have painted targets on their backs and that some people won't pass up an opportunity at a swing in the close confines of a crowd. They fear the people when outnumbered because all of their policies, strategies, and tactics involve controlling with fear. They don't see themselves as aiding fellow citizens, it's more like begrudgingly assisting the enemy you're actually supposed to eye suspiciously and subjugate. This feeds the cycle. Oh how they reap what they sow!

And to add: shooting a guy in an abuse of force during a traffic stop on an empty highway leaves no witnesses. A crowd will have a hundred eyewitnesses and dozens of phones recording.

real life example: there are comments in code I've seen that are like "don't delete this or it breaks X"

but there is no X, no mention of what X does in any Confluence page, and deleting it borks stuff badly. asking around and no one is sure what X is or does, and short of refactoring the code, no one has bothered to get rid of it.

a simple question of "wtf is X?" turns into multiple meetings, failed QA tests, general custerfuckery, all of which have a $$$ cost in hours wasted.

Re Lean 3/4 problems: the port of mathlib from Lean 3 to Lean 4 just finished this summer, and unfortunately there's still going to be some confusion between the two for a little while! The mathlib community has been working on getting the documentation to all refer to Lean 4 -- if you find anything old please point it out on the Zulip. There's usually someone around who can fix it relatively quickly.

I think it's better to think of it as bleeding-edge research software rather than alpha software. There might be a little bit of culture shock if you're used to industry-oriented software, but part of this stable version announcement is that there's a new Lean organization that now has resources to improve the experience.

> Bureaucracies, if left unmanaged as they are today, will always find ways to increase their own budget or resource.

This is why you put pressure in the opposite direction by taking away funding from these bloated and toxic organizations. In a functioning democracy the size of the budget shouldn't be dictated by the organizations themselves, but by the voters.

I think "defund the police" is the perfect message as it cuts straight to the heart of the matter and gives people something they can support that will directly make a difference and be difficult to work around via corruption. Police budgets are massively bloated, we should start slashing and reinvesting into social programs and public infrastructure.
Ask HN: Simple paid deployment service for monetizing an open source app?
I have an open source app that's moderately successful and a few folks have shown interest in paying for a cloud/hosted version. However, setting up and managing a cloud service isn't something I'm particularly interested in doing, so I've been looking for an out-of-the-box option that seems like it should exist.

Basically it'd allow me to provide a docker image and config info, maybe some other setup, and then allow the user to easily deploy it on infrastructure somewhere.

It'd be awesome if they could choose the infrastructure they want, pay them directly, and just pay me a separate fee for on-going support, early updates, etc.

Things are containerized enough these days it seems like it should be possible, but I haven't found anything like this.

Any recommendations?

> Solar is improving at a rapid pace and is already cheaper. We need a large scale rollout, but that's a will issue, not a tech issue.

Solar is indeed improving at a rapid pace, but in a world full of cheap and abundant fossil energy. What will be its price in a world without fossil fuels?

Also it's obviously much easier to quickly go from "almost no solar" to "a little bit more solar", but it is not linear: the more solar you make, the harder it is to double the production.

It is most definitely a tech issue. Take absolutely whatever you want and try to get it to a whole different scale, and it will become a tech issue. And next to that, you can't control solar (if there is no sun, there is no electricity), and we don't have a convincing technical solution for that today.

> Nuclear is always an option as well.

Every year that we spend doing nothing, it becomes less and less of an option. It's pretty clear that fusion is way too late for the party. Now for fission plants, it takes decades to build, so we don't have a whole lot of time to start. Still you will get the scale problems again: you can't replace fossils entirely with fission.

Don't get me wrong: we absolutely need fission and nuclear and all the renewables. But we have to realize that they won't completely replace oil, and therefore we won't have enough energy to keep doing everything we are doing the way we are doing it today. Therefore we will have to choose what we prioritize, and that is called "degrowth".

There's a significant gap of engineering effort between practical quantum at the scale of "rent time on the small handful of systems in the world that can do this" vs. at the scale of "anyone can rent or buy hardware to do this at scale."

IBM may possibly be able to recoup their investment in quantum by whale-hunting with the former (and certainly some of the crypto-breaking characteristics will make that quite lucrative to sell to state-level agencies), but it will likely be decades before every company in the world is asking the question "how can quantum help us" the way they are with generative AI.

> if all non-essential industry in Texas didn't exist, would you expect the same amount of investment in energy production and thus an abundance of energy for 'socially valuable' uses?

If those industries are using that power that Texas has invested in producing, then how is it "abundantly available" for socially valuable uses?

Yes, without things like crypto, we probably would have somewhat less investment in green energy sources. We'd also be burning less coal. Given possible futures with "more fossil fuels and more renewables" versus "fossil fuels coal and fewer renewables", I'll pick the latter every time. The goal isn't more renewables, it's replacing fossil fuel with renewables.

Worse, those renewables being used up by cryptocurrencies are going to be the optimally-located renewables with the lowest installation and maintenance costs for the highest energy output (think: most reliable wind at high speeds, least cloud cover and highest sun angle). As we do continue to transition further away from fossil fuels, every additional installation is going to be in locations marginally less competitive than the ones that came before. This means that transitioning the non-crypto loads will take longer and be less cost-effective than if crypto magically disappeared overnight.
Even when you do ethical work there is a question about the effectiveness of the work. At least that is something that I struggle with. While the software I work on benefits healthcare workers I often question if and how my contributions are actually making a difference. Maybe a small one?

To me that raises the question whether it would make more sense to work for a bank / hedge fund and just donate the money I would make there to good causes -- effective altruism style. But that seems like extreme mental gymnastics to me.

Since we're sharing speedcube recommendations, here's what I'd suggest.

As a beginner, get a MoYu RS3M 2021 (or one of the newer MoYu budget cubes). Watch the 10 minute tutorial by J Perm on YouTube, then watch RiDo's Hunting Story, it really improved my first 2 layers early on.

Once you approach sub-30, get a YS3M if you want to have a more controllable cube, or a WRM v9 if you want a faster cube, and get cube lube. If you're trying to get serious, invest in a SpeedStacks timer; it is a much better method of timing and it's used in competitions.

Also, go to competitions early on. It gives you a big motivator to improve. You can find competitions on the WCA website.

Good luck!

Higher costs of living make relocation and in-office work more restrictive, but that isn't a big concern for remote. Same for the travel burden. It would be very natural to see remote salaries become lower than in-office salaries on convenience, while in-office salaries go up because of that, but that's not really happening.

So while you should choose work for your preferences when you can, you shouldn't let companies gain advantages like under compensating in-office workers. After all, they've already mostly taken away actual offices for individuals.

This fight could be fought on that principle alone.
