I have also thought about this extensively, but haven't really come to any real useful insights. A few ideas I have considered:

1. Embrace the bots and get each request (with response) super lightweight. Anything you can pre-compute, pre-compress, pre-cache is great. I've used this successfully for a small service that can scale significantly.

2. Make the cost of interacting with your service computationally expensive. For example, you could send off a problem to be solved which becomes itself a token to make one interaction. There are several problems that are computationally expensive to compute, but easy to verify.

3. Make the cost of interacting with your service require sending a significant payload - the idea being that if they launch many requests from a single network, they saturate their network. If to watch a 100MB Youtube video you had to send 1MB of random data via UDP (used to fingerprint), I suspect people abusing your service would soon find they experience dropped packets. If they struggle to send 1MB of random data, there's a good chance they would have trouble downloading 100MB of data.

4. A lot of these AIs falsify information to appear plausible. You could abuse this to ask questions, some real some false, and brief the user to answer randomly on the nonsensical questions. For example, "How many connections are there in a tripoduplex?" Something like chatGPT may see tokens for "tri" and "du" and output 3 or 2. There would also be a way to do this with images, i.e. "Select all of the cats in the image and press done", where they are all some weird trip of images.

These are just some ideas and there are obvious flaws in some of them.

Which of the half dozen waylands support fractional scaling? This is a rhetorical question that you don't need to go research. It is just to highlight that there is not one wayland and any issue of feature support requires knowing which one you're talking about. And that itself is a problem.
A plastic bag that is reused as a trash bag that ends up in a properly lined landfill isn't going to release microplastics in the the ocean either. The problem is that people really like sexy solutions over practical ones, so you end up with with ineffective initiatives like teaching Africans how to recycle or plastic bag bans rather than building more and safer landfills.

Show HN: AI and the Future of Code Reviews
Hello readers!
Our team has built an AI-driven code review tool for GitHub PRs leveraging OpenAI’s gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 models. The tool significantly helps improve dev velocity and code quality.

We also wrote a blog post covering our journey to build CodeRabbit, how we worked around AI’s limitations, and our vision to see CodeRabbit as an AI-first developer tools company.

Please take a look at it. We will happily answer any technical questions regarding the sophisticated prompt engineering we did for this project.
I guess people get awesome landing pages the same way they get any other pages :-)

* either build them in-house if there are skills;

* or buy a template and customise it;

* or hire a designer/developer/team to do it. The awesomeness of the result directly depends on clarity of requirements, I think.

As an example, I recently designed a website for BinaryNights [0], and we did use Linear.app as a starting reference, but during the discussions quickly shifted towards more minimalistic approach.

Are you saying 9/10 people who buy a car are buying it because they got in an accident? There were 13.7 million new cars sold in 2022. I doubt you'll find 13.7 totaled cars in 2022.

And it still stands to reason that if somebody got in an accident, why would they turn around and buy a new car with a big mark up and massive waiting period when they can just walk onto a lot and get a good used car for much less?

I do understand it happens. I may not have had as many ghostings as you, but have had some. In those cases, generally, I wasn't in any mad dash to jump/switch, so I didn't put as much emphasis on being ghosted as you probably are.

If you have not yet, I would suggest proactively reaching out to them, vs responding to the ones who reach out to you. Many times by the time they are cold emailing, they're relatively desperate, and may not want to spend much time unless you are a perfect fit immediately for what's on their plate.
> Your garbage will still turn into compost, just in a landfill

This point is not actually true. Landfills are not built to optimize for decomposition, they're optimized for density. The high density leads to heavily anaerobic conditions below the surface, to the point where excavating a landfill can find shit like newspapers from decades ago.

Plus, composting makes more sense from a land use perspective. If you're exclusively taking compostables, and shipping out the compost, your land use limits your throughput, but for a landfill, your land use limits area under that curve, cumulative input. You fill up a landfill, then you have to make another one. They are, somewhat ironically, disposable.
Often times people don't want the general thing. They want to know how to solve a problem.

An analogy I might give is memory ordering constraints in C++. If somebody comes to you and says "hey I've got some concurrent code that has these requirements", it might be thoroughly reasonable to give them a recipe that uses a particular sequencing constraint and operation pattern even though you could have a much more general discussion of the nature of happens-before relationships and proofs of correctness of concurrent algorithms. But somebody's eyes might glaze over.

This is even true in mathematics. Sometimes you want to learn the full abstraction. Sometimes you want recipes that let you solve a PDE.

I think we are referring to costs in different contexts.

If I may switch to a different term, the outgoing cash flow will be what it will be, the question is where and when and from whom is the incoming cash flow?

In the context of this thread, apparently some of it will be from people who pay parking meters for the next 70 or so years. Is that what the plan was when this cash flow was promised to voters and recipients 20, 30, 40 years ago?

Losing half your staff is going to hurt you no matter what the labor market looks like. It’s likely that they’ll be losing a disproportionate number of high performers, and it’s going to take more than a year to work that many people through the hiring pipeline, and ramp them up fully.
See https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2880 for some background.

The root problem this all came from is that users can't really run two VPN clients at a time. It rarely works due to them fighting over the same resources in various OSes. So we need to either add Mullvad support to Tailscale's client or Tailscale support to Mullvad's client. The former is tons easier.

The root cause of this foolishness continues to go un-noticed.

Imagine a parallel world where where we no fuses, nor circuit breakers, nor any type of thing. You'd have government very carefully regulating what could and couldn't be hooked to the local power grid, just like this.

We live in a parallel universe to that, where nobody even considers only giving a program or "app" access to a carefully contained set of resources, instead of the whole computer, and internet. We find "as if" solutions, like VMs or containers, while still ignoring the root issue.

I can't speak for everyone, but technologies like WireGuard, Tailscale, and Nebula are not merely VPN solutions. They're SDN solutions that incorporate VPN capabilities, WireGuard (and thus Tailscale... in most cases) being unique that they're incorporated at the kernel level.

Apologies for the delayed response! I urge you to take a look at a few of the books I listed in a sibling comment. While I have neither the time nor desire to expound at length the copious amount of evidence for the deity of Jesus of Nazareth, there are several men who have done so for me! In addition, these guys were not your devout raised-from-birth Christians who believe simply because they were told. Rather, they believed because they could not disprove the evidence for Jesus. In fact, I believe all 4 men were atheists who set out to disprove Jesus, but came to the conclusion that the evidence supporting his claims to deity are monumental!

- Evidence That Demands a Verdict, by Josh McDowell

- More than a Carpenter, by Josh McDowell

- The Case for Christ, by Lee Strobel

- Mere Christianity, by C.S. Lewis

Finally, this is addressed in probably each of these books, but as for your last comment. It's not unthinkable to imagine Jesus was so insane he was willing to die for his "personal views on ethics" (Although there's precious little evidence to support this, see the "Lord, Liar, Lunatic" argument). Nor is it outside the realm of possibility to think that perhaps his closest 12 followers were willing to die for a charade (Although again, there's no logical reason to support this idea)—I imagine stranger situations have occurred.

But consider the vast history of Christianity, littered with martyrs whose only mandate to escape death was simply, "Deny Christ" and were yet unwilling to do so. It begins to become disingenuous to suggest that across 2,000 years people have been willing to die for one man's "personal views on ethics" when all that would be required to avoid said death is to simply say, "Jesus is not God", unless of course you were utterly convinced it was true.

It's very unlikely for all of your disks to fail at the same time. Even if they do, that's why you have an offsite backup. The name of the game is redundancy, not longevity.

In practically every use case, two consumer disks will be better than one enterprise disk. Once you start failing enough disks often enough, longevity can be worth the additional cost. Until then, it just isn't.

I think you’re wrong. Most people want a “family friendly” experience because they’re not interested in internet troll culture and aren’t interested in being surrounded by angry people doing and saying hurtful things for giggles. That’s not a knock on the angry people giggling at hurtful things - it’s just a statement that they’re a violently loud minority in the world. Most people are folks that work 60 hours a week raising kids, hang out with their friends, and generally just want to post Beyoncé videos and talk about the cookout next weekend at a friends place. They last thing they want is a racist screed and dick pics posted in their family and friends discussions, or in the Beyoncé fan forum they’re in. NGOs didn’t make that a reality, that’s just the reality of most peoples lives. I am not sure, but I suspect you’re experiencing that most people you associate with want such a forum - but I suspect people on HN don’t associate with very representative people of the populace.

That said, I’m really happy there’s places on the internet where you can go to get your fill of angry screeds, dick pics, and trolls trolling. It’s an undervalued subculture of the internet subculture.
IRC was great. mIRC if you had to pick. I'd take it over Discord any day. IRC was just missing features like being online all the time, creating channels, notifications. Nothing UI. Emojis on messages do add to it, but that's the only thing I'd add.

Old reddit and HN are nice. Maybe I just strongly dislike avatars. It becomes about who said what instead of what was said.

Forums like SMF could work, but only if they're mobile friendly. Sorting by down/upvotes creates an unfriendly atmosphere.

The VPN market has had considerable growth year-to-year since at least 2009. It's just that in the last few years that growth has added up to big absolute numbers.

Here's how I think about customer segments:

* Those interested in online privacy

* Those interested in circumventing censorship

* Those interested in a secure network channel from their machine to "The Internet", by which I mean secure from their local ISP eavesdropping on them.

* Those interested in circumventing geographical restrictions.

Due to the nature of the Internet and how its most important protocol (IP) works, changing your IP address is a necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, step in protecting your privacy online. This fact says something about the long term relevance of VPNs, Tor, and similar technologies.

They aren't the key, they are just a little bit more efficient and more compact.

The game to optimizing EVs for a given battery pack is that you want to minimize current. Motor torque is directly proportional to current, and efficiency losses are a function of current^2. So generally you are looking at ways to generate more torque per amp.

There are 3 ways to do that. First is to use a low KV motor. KV is RPM/Volt spec of the motor. The other important spec is Torque/Amp, which is KT. KV*KT = constant for permanent magnet motors. So the lower the KV, the higher the KT. There is a configuration of motors called outrunner which places the rotor with perm magnets on the outside shell, giving a bigger torque arm (which is also the case for the axial flux) - this reduces the KV, but increases torque/amp.

The second way is to use a gearbox. You eat a little bit of efficiency in the gears, but functionally its the same as trading rpms for torque with the kv/kt motor configuration. Porsche Taycan uses this

Third way is to spread out torque generation over multiple motors. If each motor is responsible for 1/4 of the torque, the overall efficiency is much higher.
Back in early 2000s, with much older battery tech, there was this car (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliica), which achieved a range of 200 miles, all because of the 8 wheels with 8 individual motors.

IMO the best way to make a small fun EV without exuberant costs is to put an outrunner motor into the hub of each of the 4 wheels. The downside to this is big increase in unsprung mass, but suspension systems are pretty good these days to where dynamic damping adjustment can be done quite easily at very fast response times.
This. By pivoting to your business model, they are lending it validation and doing you a favour. It’s another reason for a VC to invest in your product vs theirs, as you have been at it longer.

If you really believe in yourself and your team, work hard to outcompete them. Like many others have said, unless there is something illegal about this, it is fair game.
