You one-sidedly pick a skill for someone else, that they don't enjoy and don't find useful and that you can't reasonably justify as being useful.

Then you insist that they do it well.

But that's not enough - you also insist that they have to want to do it well.

Which you also can't justify, other than very abstractly, by insisting that everything they do - including things they didn't choose themselves, don't care about, don't find useful and won't actually find useful - they should want to do well.

I'd be more worried for someone who didn't find that preposterous.

I've been on small teams where the direct manager was completely clueless about the day-to-day work of his 3 or 4 reports. These are professional meeting attenders, basically. 10+ years ago this seemed much less common in tech. Management was more technical and CEOs would actually talk to the ICs.

I'm struck by how much this seems to parallel the Microsoft DOJ case of 2001.[1]

At the time, Microsoft was bundling IE and trying to block use of other browsers. However, the browser wasn't really where the value was, and we all ended up with Chrome, while Microsoft completely missed the internet era and lost search to Google.

I find the timing of this interesting as we are seeing a shift to AI being able to answer the questions that Google once provided, and now the DOJ is saying Google blocking other search engines is anti-competitive, when that game has already been played, and the next game has already started.

Am I thinking of this correctly? Or do you think if Microsoft had been able to maintain IE dominance (which it kinda did until Chrome anyway) the internet would have ended up being shaped significantly differently?

Regardless of whether it is, even if the probability of a leak is in general low, we have seen that the expected number of deaths is likely in the millions.

Airplanes had far far fewer deaths for the aerospace industry to reach current safety regulations and requirements.

Given that, the regulations and requirements when dealing with pathogens should increase accordingly to match the potential damage.
Am I the only one confused Googles aging decrepit search is the bigger problem and not the fact that every browser other than Firefox and Safari are based on their code?
I suspect that because of conservation of energy, methane is a highly reactive over the short term, but ultimately an insignificant element in the big picture IF you ignore the massive oil inputs humans are adding to the system. That is to say, methane on its own is not a reason to discourage digging up oil to make grain, which is used to feed cattle.
Much appreciated! and no worries—the only thing that matters is using the site as intended going forward.
Average cost per install should be significantly lower than 20 for most games (it's just 2 cents for most country's in the world after all). However yeah it seems pretty excessive.

I wouldn't be surprised if that 20 cent cost is just there to encourage developers who'd have to pay to update to pro (e.g. a seat for a year seems to be equal to about 10k installs, but with pro you get extra 800k free installs and increase your revenue limit by another 800k so you'll likely won't even have to pay extra for users at all)
> Looking for a good counterpoint.

You only have a limited number of hours in life to devote to acquiring mastery, and there's a nearly unlimited number of subjects that are worth mastering.

Instead of trying to be good at everything you're doing, decide what you're going to be good at, what you're going to outsource and half-ass, and work towards being good at the former, while getting by/paying other people to do with the latter.

You need to take pride in something, but you're fooling yourself if you think you can do everything well - or that its a good investment of your time.

This seems like an abuse of the word need. Most of “professional development” is self-actualized, and a product of experience, ability, and achievement on the job.

I had years of germanic linguistics in undergrad and grad school, and i think this is an alternate ("archaic") past tense of work, so it's literally "worked", just like you said a blacksmith would do.

i mention the germanic classes because i can't at the moment think of other examples where (outside arabic etc) there's a commutativity between a consonant and vowel (work & wrokt) but i'd swear i would think of some if not trying.

Yeah, I don't know why more wasn't said here about impact thus far.

Looks like the p-Chip company did an impressive "road show" of major news outlets in August.

I'd guess for promoting to customers or investors (and they'd have to coordinate with the customer brand, and maybe also they were being discreet about the measures to make the first catches easier).

So I'd guess that the outlets are writing because the company is putting itself out there, and the story does interest. (Ordinary people are noticing counterfeits on Amazon and such, and I'd guess the idea of marrying high-tech with something as old-world charm as Italian cheese wheels has some clicky light news appeal.)

Since we're on HN, from a startup's perspective... we should hope that someday we could swing favorable coverage from top news outlets, and limit hardball interrogations to private dialogue with investors and prospects. :)
The best achievements to me act as hints on how to play the game in a certain way. Such as:

* "Find all 25 widgets" I like finding widgets and I've only found 12 of them. I'll keep looking!

* "Beat the game without using System X" Whoa, I thought System X was required! I'll figure out how to rely on the other systems to work around missing this one

* "Get ending #3" I hear that ending is neat so I'll play again making different choices

Achievements don't help mediocre games improve, they only compliment already good games. They also act as remembrances of games long past, something I can look up in a few minutes without having to install the game or hunt for a save file. Getting all of those achievements ten years ago must have really meant that I liked it.

I kinda wonder if the test is really good at catching more sinus-nasal infections and not so much lung-driven infections where there’s a lot more surface area to shed virus from.

Or am I to assume if you’re infected, it’s caked along the entire respiratory tract.
Because it's a waste of time in an age where we have machines that can do a much better job?

The same reason we don't wash clothes on a washboard in a river anymore?

Teaching how to make pretty smudges on dead trees to store and communicate information is in the exact same bucket, to me. It's a an utterly useless and wasteful anachronism, like mechanical watchmaking or praying. Given that we have limited time, energy, and budget to educate children, it is actively harmful to their future.
Just because something sounds bad to you doesn’t make your speculation accurate.

The stuff I dried is so fragrant that the cats magically show up like the "runs can opener" meme. Makes me want to become a catnip dealer at my local farmer's market.

I've tried bananas, but honestly, the whole slicing part and keeping them whole slices is just too much effort for me. Do you have a tip on how to keep it from being so frustrating?

And fuck-us-all if you go on vacation.

In a small business (read: startup), `deploy.sh` is all you should have. When you go on vacation and it breaks, I just need to read a bit of bash/python/php/whatever-script-you-use.lang and fix the broken stuff.
The good thing about "telemetry through achievements" is that players can see it too. It gives a good baseline about the other non-obvious achievements.

For instance, an achievement that has about the same unlock rate as the "complete stage 1" achievement is probably something you stumble upon randomly in the very beginning of the game, if you don't have it, you probably missed something. If an achievement has a significantly lower unlock rate than "complete the game", it is probably end game content and may require dedication.

Achievement can have more than one purpose. They can be used as progression markers (the "tutorial complete" kind). As hints about some secondary content. As a reward for curiosity or particularly difficult tasks. As an indication that you have finished something and there is no more of it. To taunt the player. As objectives that don't fit in the story. To acknowledge that a particular action is significant. Etc...

For example "Use the Batarang for the first time" tells you that you will use it again. It hints that from now on, the Batarang will be an important part of gameplay, more important than the other items you didn't get an achievement for. On the achievement list, it is a progression marker. If you see it on an achievement list, it tells that the players is, say, at least 10% into the game, and puts other achievements in perspective.

Two things:

- Grazers improve the capacity of grass to carbon capture

- Some land is ONLY able to grow grass. The alternative is desertification, and so livestock is the only option to produce food. edit: unless you bring in fossil fertilizers.
I have similar anecdata. My iPhone X still has 88% battery capacity. It still easily lasts a full day of light/intermittent use and gets charged each night on a wireless charger. The battery life is now noticeably shorter in cold weather.
it hasn't been too much of a problem, doing a very good wash of the garlic itself helps with this, and salinity helps as well.

I had the worst issue with kahm in a fairly low garlic fermentation, but am happy to try different amounts and report back.

I had 2 batches side by side, jalapeño, Fresno, garlic, and one had Thai bird, the other habanero. the habanero had a yeast growth, the Thai bird did not. all other variables were as close as possible to each other.

Wow, that Depends comments cuts to the bone, LOL oh my! Well done..

I guess what I'm looking for is a "Wow, that improvement is significant enough that, this time, early-adopting will make a huge difference" announcement. I remember around 2011 when hard drive prices-per-gigabyte took a huge drop to the point where what you got for your money was astoundingly better than what you could get a year earlier. I haven't bought a hard drive since then. Yes, prices have continued to go down, but the slope is not what it used to be. I'm still on a computer from 2014 because that was the last major increase (in my judgment) in what you got for your money. CPUs and GPUs are getting better, but only incrementally so. I typically look for those inflection points/discontinuities to make a tech purchase.

For example, if a phone manufacturer suddenly came out with a huge sci-fi level leap in battery technology, where, maybe paired with a stripped down OS I could get a week of battery life... That would be exciting. Or, if the phone's hardware and OS suddenly became powerful enough to plug in as a true desktop replacement and run desktop applications natively, where I could actually throw away my desktop workstation, that would be pretty awesome.
Bosch ones (at least the one I have) can even be set to 100F. I haven't actually tested how well it maintains such low temps, but I use it for proofing.
Or, better yet, why not actually prepare for the test, by doing the reading, and the homework?

Notes are an incredibly poor substitute for putting in the actual work of learning.
My notes on the upgrade from 14 to 15 I took during the announcement:

* Twice as bright screen
* Dynamic Island
* Smaller bezel
* Contoured edge
* New better plastic back
* Big camera improvements
- 48MP main camera vs. 24MP
- Faster focus
- Much better telephoto
- Improved portrait mode
* Better color
* Better low-light performance
* No shutter lag
* Turn on portrait mode after the fact
- Smart HDR for better lighting
* Live voicemail transcription
* Longer battery life?
* Satellite emergency / roadside assistance
Agree – Langfuse stores all prompts/completions, model configuration and metadata. Currently the GET API can be used to use the data for finetuning and we build a wrapper to access a filtered sample via the Python SDK.

HN hug of death applied to real items now.
Squaring isn't backreferences, though you can square more than a literal. An example squaring is /(foo|bar*){2}/ which is equivalent to /(foo|bar*)(foo|bar*)/, not /(foo|bar*)\g1/.

Backreferences aren't technically regular, and as you say they can take exponential time to match. But the theorem that regular expression equivalence is EXPSPACE-complete applies to real regular expressions, not just perl "regexes".

IIRC the proof is something like, given a Turing machine that runs in space S, to consider traces of the the computation, which are concatenations of S-long strings (plus a head indicator holding the machine's internal state etc). You can make a regex that matches invalid executions of the machine, which are basically of the form

/.* (foo1.{S}bar1 | foo2.{S}bar2 | ...) .*/

where foo1->bar1, foo2->bar2 etc are all the types of invalid transitions (basically, either something on the tape not next to the head changed, or the head changed in a way not indicated in the state table).

You also set rules to enforce the initial state. Then you ask whether:

/wrong initial state | invalid execution | execution that doesn't end in "accept"/

is the same regex as

/.*/

If it's the same, then there are no strings which don't match the first regex; such a string must have the right initial state, a valid execution, and end in "accept". So if the two are the same, then all valid executions end in "reject". Since you aren't constrained to allow only a single state transition rule, this actually shows NEXPSPACE hardness, but that's equal to EXPSPACE by Savitch's theorem. Anyway I could be misremembering this, it's been a while, but it doesn't require backreferences.

The squaring is required to make the {S} part without exponential blowup. Otherwise, I think the problem is only PSPACE-hard (PSPACE-complete? I don't remember).
Transcribe and import audio / video files into ChatGPT
Hi HN --

Wanted to share a new tool I just built and thought it might be useful for some of you.

It will transcribe your audio or video files (voice memos, lectures, podcasts, interviews, whatever!) and then allow you to quickly import the transcripts into ChatGPT with a variety of initial prompts to get you started (summaries, blog posts, outlines, social media posts, etc). It's part of the AI transcription product I created (TurboScribe).

I've been using it to summarize podcasts, write initial drafts of content from voice memos (kind of like a ghost writer), and transform long audio lectures into detailed summaries (w/ section headings and reference timestamps).

I made the first 4 daily audio/video transcriptions free (up to 30 min long) to make it easy to try.

Thoughts and feedback welcome. Cheers!
Cars designed for high speed will have a significant advantage over a motorcycle through capturing down forces to dramatically increase the amount of friction between the tires and the surface before losing grip and spinning out. Motorcycles can own the power to weight ratio category, but they can't use all that power because at that point the wheels just spin.

I found it super interesting when I learned that one of the biggest advances in maze solving races is that someone ended up putting a fan in their little "mouse" to push down so the wheels could get more traction.

>Arguments against against scarcity that point to copies of a singular work seem circuitous.

It's a good point, but I think it misses something. It is experiences of the effect of an artistic work that matter, not the work per se. Experiences of the work are 10-a-penny -- tens of millions have probably seen one of the 'originals', billions have probably experienced the effect of the artwork (which I will deftly avoid defining ;o)) through photos, copies, videos, imitations, and emulations.
Re watch: I discovered that the pinch gesture was already on my series 8 watch under quick actions.
The first 15 years of my career, up until roughly 2010, I had no regular 1:1's in tech. Managers were generally more technical also (they would do non-critical path dev work.) Today there is more separation between "people management" and "technical management." Usually one or the other suffers.
