Open source in only the literal sense of the word. It's like calling a wild boar from the midwestern coast of Africa a "Guinea pig". It's not actually lying (/pretending/cetera), since they clearly expect people to understand the distinction they're making, and so far it looks like most do, but it's still unforunately unclear (and rather needlessly so, since "source available" works just as well, if equally imprecisely).

People have been saying that for years. It's gotten a lot worse rather than improving though.
Arthur Conan Doyle famously embarrassed himself with the Cottingley Fairies fake [1]. A grown man, believing in fairies -- small women with butterfly wings -- based on some dodgy (doctored) photographs. He went beyond believing in them; he actually promoted the case.

> Most modern cars will happily start at -20°C and many will start at -30°C without any special additions

A couple years ago temps here went below -25° and there were a lot of cars which didn't go nowhere. Sure, some of them just had a battery too low from the usual urban minimal distance travel, but I heard enough rants from and about people who was forced to abandon their car and use the public transport or taxi. Diesels without an engine heater were among them.

> don't ask me how I know, you just need to know what you are doing

Ye, have an 'offline' (lol) charger for your car battery or have a 'kick-starter' kit. The thing is what the cars sold here are prepared for the winter conditions, yet many of them failed at a slightly lower temps - which again shows how a mere 5° difference can be way too much even for things what work otherwise just fine.
You’d think the fines would have inflation baked into it 15 years is a long time with intel stock up more than 80% over last 15 years.
An agent is a style of prompt that lets LLMs act as reasoning engines. It's also known as the ReAct pattern (which engineers are avoiding using for namespace collision reasions).

The problem with email attachments is that it only supports files up to around 25MB, and if you have a slow uplink to the cloud, it could take a while.

A friend wrote a faster and more sophisticated version of `python -m http.server 8000` in rust which also supports uploads, you can read about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37628347
File transfers are over the local network, and therefore should be very fast.
This is a staple of my childhood since I'm a GenXer.

My kids never saw a second of Sesame Street, unfortunately. We didn't watch TV, only streaming, and the other options like Daniel Tiger were much easier to get access to and relatable. It's sad that I don't have that shared experience with them but I guess that's just how life is!

The problem with email attachments is that they only support files up to around 25MB, while slack has a 1GB attachment limit, and if you have a slow uplink to the cloud, it could take a while to upload the file.

File transfers are performed over the local network, and therefore should be very fast. If you don't have a network connection, you can just enable a Wifi hotspot on your mobile device and transfer the files over that. There is no need to install any software on the mobile device, you can just use a web browser to browse to a directory that you share over the network.

I think the ship has sailed with regarding making captchas harder to automate, tech is too good.

However, my experience has been that if you can protect a comment form against a curl command, or a login form against wfuzz, it's done the job. If we accept this, we might make captchas less annoying to the humans trying to deal with them, and those 1% of people playing with headless chrome or whatever were always going to need manual moderation.
This could be an argument for anything, so it is a bad argument.

Had to check, yes, time is moving on, guess IIT is 20 years old.

Curious what tests you think have been done with String Theory.

Both String Theory and IIT, now decades old, and still trying to be tested. Both accused of being 'pseudoscience' and 'untestable'.

Haven't even gotten into the 'over-fitting' problem attributed to String Theory. IF it doesn't fit, keep adjusting it. But does it really predict anything, if it has to keep being adjusted after the fact.

Think you're really splitting hairs on what a 'test' is and what that other article was saying.

Guess even after 20+ years even string theory might finally be tested.

2020. Finally Getting there.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/will-string-theor...

"Many physicists consider string theory our best hope for combining quantum physics and gravity into a unified theory of everything. Yet a contrary opinion is that the concept is practically pseudoscience, because it seems to be nearly impossible to test through experiments."

You can feel like you’re contributing even when you aren’t doing that much.

The problem is when they know there is no need for them to contribute. That leads to a sense of pointlessness.
I've settled with Jira for issue tracking, and Notion for documentation after years of internal battles. Once I start to treat Notion as an overqualified xlsx, everything started to make sense to me, it's just that Notion sucks at issue tracking, I had to make due with Jira (under-powered Cloud version).

I have a serious issue with over-thinking and over-engineering with personal projects. After I'm sick and tired of seeing myself doing these, I actually ended up with a psychiatrist, whom has put me on a ADHD evaluation, but still pending 2 more visits to know.
Funny how this story has entered the folk lore around LSD. I remember hearing some version of it in the early 2000s in New Zealand.

The other one was the story of a guy who had taken so much LSD he thought he'd turned into a glass of orange juice. Couldn't lie down or he'd spill, couldn't go outside or he would evaporate. I wonder if it has any basis from a real story.
As an adult deeply involved in my children's lives, with a demanding job, and volunteering in local athletics, your comment completely missed the mark. It's trivial to lose track of social relationships.

The US has socialized healthcare, it's just run my insurance companies. That means it has all the bad incentives of socialized healthcare, ie the incentive is to minimize (locally) the amount of care provided, and it also has all the price gouging that comes from private companies being in charge of health. Lose/lose. The solution is charging per use for primary care, and insurance for big stuff.
"adjusted for inflation" -- what does that mean if it doesn't include basic life necessities, e.g. shelter.
I really like Sherlock stories, but yes, they are seldom all that rational.

I remember in one story Sherlock concludes a man must be smart because his hat size is large. I mean, come on, even in Doyle's time this would have raised more than one eyebrow.

I don't hold this against the stories because my enjoyment of them is more about the mystery and Sherlock as a character, rather than they actually making rational sense.
> Simple fix for that: require the concertgoer to physically present the ID when arriving at the concert.

That doesn't fix it. The person whose ID it is actually wants to go to the concert. They show up with their ID and activate the other tickets sold by the scalper.

> you buy one or more tickets online, and you're required to put full names to those tickets when you purchase them.

Then you're back to pissed off customers because they have multiple tickets they actually want to use and can't change who gets to go when one person can't.

> I do think this would inflate some ticket prices, but I feel like the situation would still be much better than it is now.

A lot of things like this work okay the first time you try it, then entrepreneurs find a way to improve the efficiency of the market.

Fundamentally the problem is that you're trying to violate the law of supply and demand. If you want scalpers to stop existing, raise the price of tickets to match what people will pay for them. If you want prices to go down, move to a venue with more seats.

Perhaps, I’m just pointing out that government free cash to hang around and do whatever isn’t an actual solution for 95% of the people. Most aren’t artists/makers oppressed by their jobs.
This can still be true with the original point. There might be a certain type of startup they're very good a nurturing, but not others.
Eh no surprises. Apples grossly predatory on many fronts. No surprises they give zero pucks about data integrity for users. Your a cash cow not something their genuinely trying to help.
The primary (maybe only?) value of YC is the networking.

Networking is fundamentally an in-person thing. The remote-only people can whine all they want, but that is simply an immutable fact.

Building a startup requires most of your time on non-coding tasks.
I've worked both with the Swift C++-Interop project and I've also spoken to the author of cxx.rs a little bit. The two approach the problem differently.

Swift's approach is that you only need to provide a header (which you likely already have), and the compiler does all the rest to handle the bridging for you. cxx.rs' approach is that you use this crate to write a bridging file and so long as you follow the type set that cxx.rs understands you have a bridge (int, char, std::string, std::unique_ptr etc).

They're both good approaches but the Swift approach is definitely much more ambitious and more user-friendly to the programmer.

Utterly terrible argument. You could just as easily claim social media or touchscreens or episodes of Modern Family or literally anything else has lead to this increase.
Here's one reference: https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-Lock-Broken

My reading of the saga is that the cryptocurrency mining bubble was causing huge demands for Nvidia GPUs as parallel processors (with ASICS for mining only starting to appear at this point). This meant that GPUs were being priced-out of the market for most PC gamers, as it was always profitable for cryptocurrency miners to buy more of them.

Nvidia introduced a lock on 'non-professional' cards which prevented alternative firmware from being loaded on them, effectively splitting the market into two, one for 'gamers' and the other for 'miners'. That lock interferes with the open source driver for Linux, Nouveau, meaning that normal things like CUDA (and not least running games!) couldn't be done on Linux without a labyrinthine network of proprietary drivers that, for instance, couldn't be updated automatically.

It seems as if Nvidia succeeded, because from my passive awareness of the PC gaming world, people seem very happy with their new GPUs. But for those using Linux for servers, at home or for AI research, it has been an ongoing nightmare.

There is no way the F-35 was flying without radar reflectors and likely even ADSB on.

That said however if there was a major systems failure you loose tracking and even if you have a pretty good idea where the aircraft was it’s still not that easy to find in a wooden area.

Funny, before reading the article was thinking about the eslint rule - believe it's called the "no-else-return". While reading and before finishing the article was thinking "isn't that the reason why we use guard clauses?".

It can be confusing but I really appreciate one-liner `unless` statements in ruby for guards

edit: not a fan of unless/else though
Why wouldn't today's "mesmerisms" be just as ridiculous? I don't think the mockery is about "absurd things people back then believed" but about "gullible people who will believe all sorts of things".

I think Conan Doyle was a very gullible man for his time. He would have been gullible for today's quakery if he was still alive.
No, it’s blended because hot water is fine in the US. We don’t use hot water tanks that sit on rooftops and accumulate bird shit.

If you do, you have to allow a random back off before the tickets are made available for resale. Otherwise there will be “transfers” through sale / purchase.
On this thread - there's a VC guy I follow on twitter who otherwise sounds like a decent guy, but as the tech job market was collapsing ~9 months ago was literally posting "suits suits suits".

Aka - the old Wall St saying that when the economy turns and labor loses power, casual Fridays go out the window and everyone is back to wearing suits.

So I do think that the debate is all kayfabe. There is no data.

They really see remote/hybrid as just an accommodation like allowing jeans, paying for your lunch, or having yoga classes on site... and look forward to cutting it at any time of their choosing, when they can get away with it.

You miss the point. People who want to walk and live that lifestyle live in New York. People that walking is painful for generally leave.

It’s like saying wearing bikinis on beaches seems to cause weight loss.
In the US you have the 4th amendment which proscribes unreasonable search and seizure but that is not a right to privacy. Thus, there is no such right articulated in the amendments themselves. Therefore, it's decided by case law (which is how all such things are decided in common law systems of jurisprudence). Chief amongst such cases is Griswold v. Connecticut, where the ruling found such a right is established by the constitution through a "reading between the lines" (penumbral reasoning).

Okay this isn't conlaw 101 but my point is privacy and right to privacy are technical terms, possibly unintuitive to you. Now someone's rights may have been arrogate here - I don't know - but that would be again argued in a court of law.

Australia has the largest average house block in the world (or close to it) at 400m2. A lot of the older-style houses are 700m2 blocks.

People have been subdivided and densifying older blocks, building two houses on one block.

Working off a criminal sentence for a decade then receiving emancipation and ownership of large land holdings was the original lifestyle of the convicts sent over to AUS. It's in the culture to value land.

One of our five major cities covers the distance of greater london measured north-to-south and has a population of 2.3mil, compared against 13mil for london.

We need to make the Bush/Desert liveable. People don't realize how much work goes into maintaining housing outside the 'butter zone' where everything works.

There's more thought put into terraforming Mars than there is, keeping salt out of the wind in the outback, or making it economical and affordable to keep wildlife out of your housing, or transporting water large distances for cheap. Basically we need rivers in the desert.

The economy is built around sexy projects and consumer bait, but the real expansionist policies that could secure Australian housing and Australian life for centuries to come, are basically an afterthought of silly politicians.
The concert is the product. A ticket is one approach for artists to control access to the limited experienc, typically while maintaining substantial equity and equality of access.

Of course profit maximization is not the only (or even primary) goal, that's what makes this such a hard problem. If it were, ticket sales would be trivially solved - just auction each seat to the highest bider, close biding near the concert date and prevent any transfers. Of course that's a terrible idea.
Yeah, it'd be just terrible if I got one of those jobs and lasted only 6 months.
In the US, the ticket selling platform (tickemaster) and the venue (live nation) are usually the same company.

The sale is set up so that ticket resale is forbidden, except that scalpers can resell them via ticketmaster. Ticketmaster gets to charge a second transaction fee when the scalper resells it.

Artists don’t have enough market leverage to bypass this. (Pearl Jam famously tried and failed at the top of their career.)

So, it’s a combination of auction fraud (building a platform for scalpers while pretending to enforce anti-scalper policies) and monopoly power (colluding with venues and probably agents to depress first-sale ticket prices).

I tried to figure out if ticketmaster also owns and operates the scalping companies (allowing two-sided auction fraud). I came up with a firm “maybe”.
Precisely - when there's a gold rush, sell shovels.

> And the only reason they consume that much energy is because the human body is inefficient at converting this heat to work.

The human body does not convert heat to work. We do something entirely different (look up the "ATP/ADP cycle").

But yeah there are certainly conversion losses in the conversion of egg sandwiches to labor. 25% or so. Which is actually pretty good; you won't be able to match that with a steam machine built over the weekend (start with solving the problem of setting eggs on fire?).
Alchemy was always quackery. It might have been proto-chemistry, but the minute it adopted scientific method it stopped being alchemy.

The problem with alchemy is that there was no rhyme or reason to its method, other than mysticisim; it wasn't scientific in nature.

If it sparked chemistry, that's a good thing; but it doesn't stop it from being quakery.
On the other hand, there's probably some sort of reasonable business model or two that will come out of the AI/LLM boom. So casting a wide net and hoping your accelerator will catch one of them is a decent play.

Hi, it's Tony here. Sorry about the experience with support.

I remember this issue, it's about making the screenshot background transparent without getting the drop shadow getting cut off, right?

The app is not designed well for using with transparent background. So if you prefer transparent background, it's best to make the shadow smaller, or remove the shadow completely, or… increase the padding.

I considered to supporting this but in the end I removed the ticket out of the backlog because I didn't want to turn Xnapper into a photo editor, sorry!

If this isn't about the transparent background, can you send me another email to support? I’ll take a look, thanks for using Xnapper! :)

I can’t speak for YC or FAANG management but as a regular software engineer I totally get where they’re coming from. I worked at a FAANG company through and after covid, the difference in teams productivity was noticeable. Not in the remote working favour.

Huh? The founders created these companies. YC just convinced these founders to give away a big share of their companies for almost nothing, in return for cult lulz. Accelerators are exploitative.
