Hi there - my name is Matt Althauser and I’m a partner/founder at Polychrome. The funding that we brought to the company was $250,000 which we valued as the equivalent of the value of 3 years of development that the existing team had invested into building the initial open source project.

For us (polychrome) at the time, the money came directly from the bank accounts of myself and my two co-founders. It was pretty scary for us all!

In that sense; we do think of ourselves as bootstrapped. We (polychrome) did not (and still have not) take a dollar in compensation for the business. We’ve worked directly on the business for 3 years with the founders. I have been selling the software in Europe and my partner, Greg, in the US/Asia until we got revenue high enough to hire our head of sales, Mike and head of marketing, Anna. While doing this, we (Polychrome) paid ourselves by doing consulting for venture baked companies. Ben (Flagsmith CEO) was being paid by the business and his existing agency.

This is definitely not venture. FWIW - I have built two venture backed companies - Optimizely & Amplitude which took typical venture rounds and would not be bootstrapped IMO.
I had a similar experience trying to find a justification for a “House rule” we use when playing Catan (aka “the penny rule”).

In trying to find a reputable source, the first result was to an HN comment… that I wrote.

The folks we were playing with were not convinced.
1. Yes, once.

2. There was some impact, since I had to take a job at a lower pay than I wanted. There wasn't any impact on the search itself, though.

3. No.
> The fact we’re talking about “universal childcare” while ignoring the equally large if not larger demand women have for staying at home shows our warped priorities. Instead of universal childcare, we should just pay families for children and let them decide whether to use the money for childcare or to enable one parent to stay home.

It would be interesting to see a direct cash transfer longitudinal experiment where you pay families for a parent to stay home and provide care for childrearing vs universal childcare, to see what that does to fertility rates and wellbeing of both care provider parent and the children being raised.

It seems so incredibly silly and shortsighted to be offering up free childcare to enable a parent to work when they could be working at home (if they choose!) raising their kid(s).

It's still a nasty stink to have people whose ideological leanings went that way, standing up in parliament and getting recognition.

And it does a disservice to the Ukrainian people. Because it emphasizes the ugly side of Ukrainian nationalism instead of the legitimate side of their cause, and gives Putin and Lavrov an ideological weapon at home and abroad in BRICs countries, etc.

The line from the west should be clear: we will help defend you. Your cause is just. But the far right imagery has to end, they need to put their foot down about it. Was looking at photos of the liberation of (what's left of) Andriivka the other day and right there in a western news media article was an unfurled flag of a far right militia with a quasi-Nazi insignia. That's f'd up.

From my understanding of friends who grew up in the Canadian Ukrainian community, there have always been two sides to it, with "progressive" or "left" branches and nationalist and right-wing branches. I remember a friend telling me his parents sent him to a Ukrainian summer camps where they practiced shooting rifles to "fight against Russians" and stuff. In Canada. It's a messed up history.
I wish more of those 10k people would help get others off of a package manager that is so fragile and convoluted that updating so often leads to popular things breaking.

Things like macports and pkgsrc do things in an arguably much simpler, more unixy way, without the contortions that so often seem to leave homebrew in a bind after routine operations like updating.
>In any case, she should have been involved...

The deputy prime minister should be involved in vetting other people's guests to the House of Commons? Personally? You don't think she has more important things to do? Vetting of guests should be done, and should be done much better than it was, but it's a job for (competent) staffers, not cabinet personally.

I think both are failures of planning over markets. China propped up giant companies that built whole cities speculatively, but in the US it’s a that they have comparatively strong municipalities that prevent new building in their neighborhoods. I think the solution there is to weaken the strength of these zoning laws. We have been kinda running an experiment across states and cities and can see the housing crisis is worse in places with stricter zoning laws. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12195

Let's chat about ChatGPT's creative writing skills
Yes, ChatGPT does indeed have the capability to write creatively. ChatGPT has been used by literary organizations and creative writing communities to generate unique story ideas and prompts.

Here are 10 ways in which it can demonstrate its creative writing abilities:

1. Use of vivid imagery: ChatGPT can use descriptive language to paint a picture in the reader's mind, drawing on sensory details to create a rich and immersive reading experience.

2. Unique storytelling: ChatGPT can come up with original and creative storylines that captivate the reader and keep them engaged throughout the narrative.

3. Wordplay: ChatGPT can play with words and language to create puns, metaphors, and other literary devices that add depth and dimension to the writing.

4. Character development: ChatGPT can develop characters that are complex and multi-dimensional, exploring their motivations, desires, and flaws in a way that feels authentic and relatable.

5. Unconventional plot twists: ChatGPT can introduce unexpected plot twists that keep the reader guessing and add intrigue to the story.

6. Poetic writing: ChatGPT can write in a poetic style, using lyricism and rhythm to create a musical quality to the prose.

7. Humor: ChatGPT can use humor to infuse the writing with wit and levity, making the reader laugh and lightening the mood.

8. Emotional resonance: ChatGPT can write in a way that taps into the reader's emotions, using empathy and pathos to create a powerful connection between the reader and the story.

9. Creative non-fiction: ChatGPT can write about real-life events in a creative and engaging way, using storytelling techniques to bring the facts to life.

10. Experimentation: ChatGPT can push the boundaries of conventional writing styles, experimenting with form, structure, and language to create new and exciting ways of telling a story.

I stand corrected. The period in 6.000 in place of a comma threw me off.
> It doesn't look like an indicator of the diachronic change in the popularity…

I thought all change is diachronic.*

I looked it up and found out that ‘diachrony’ is a term of art in linguistic analysis, contrasting with synchronic analysis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diachrony_and_synchrony

*Edit: I initially thought that saying ‘diachronic change’ was like saying ‘three-sided triangle’. But thinking about it, I suppose things do change in space but not time, e.g ‘the pattern changes abruptly’

How the Feds control the mainstream media in the U.S.
OpenAI has been fairly loose on the branding.. They never expected ChatGPT to be huge and a bunch of devs were already using the davinci APIs. Earlier on the ChatGPT API was not even available for external use. Plus ChatGPT became famous but not OpenAI so much. So they told devs you can add powered by ChatGPT if you use the API endpoints.

Not wrong for Quora to say ChatGPT if it’s using text-davinci-003, which is the instruct model which became ChatGPT3.5.
Post-truth is the greatest step toward truth in human history. For centuries the clergy, government, media, and corporations have owned the Truth and defined the Overton window. Post-truth’s overwhelming flood of true, false, and irrelevant claims is empowering critical thinking. It’s offering freedom.

The printing press led to the renaissance. The internet is now leading a new one.

There will continue to be protests by the establishment powers, and unfortunately there will likely be conflict. The fall of monarchies was not without bloodshed. Hopefully we can find a way to achieve similar progress this time around without the same loss of life.
One way in which this could be slightly more minimal is to remove the mvnw wrapper.

Honestly if you want to do development on a Java/Maven project, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have Java and Maven installed. The wrapper adds three directory entries to the top-level repo directory, and is lots of copy/pasted code.

The current edition of the "kit" is just a pre-soldered PCB, a plastic case, and some screws, it's basically a complete product.

The original DIY basic or pro kit are also close to complete - basically dropping some dev boards on 0.1" headers onto the PCB (and a USB-C connector, and 1.25mm pitch PM sensor cable, slightly harder).

You can also get just the bare sensor from a reputable distributor for $40:

https://www.adafruit.com/product/3686

Or get the same sensor from overseas for about $12.

I just built the AirGradient DIY Pro kit (no longer listed for sale on the website?), it's remarkable how PM and CO2 spike through the whole house when we cook on our natural gas stove - been waffling on that induction cooktop, but it's probably time! Still need to get the TVOC/NOx module to add to it...
The adoption of Tailwind is its own phenomenon. The whole point was to come at CSS at a different angle that circumvented the pain points of regular CSS, not really aimed at being a crutch for those who don't know CSS. You still gotta know that p-8 adds padding and what it does within the box model, and using the grid or flexbox doesn't really make anything simpler.
Doesn't change the fact though that both the US and SU have been fairly "pragmatic" after the war when it comes to Nazi scientists like Wernher von Braun (yes, the Soviets had "their" Nazi scientists too which helped them kickstart the transition into the jet and space age (just not as prominently on display as von Braun): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim)

Not that the cheating took place only two year before the game against Carlsen, which is close enough to keep the same behaviors..
The article doesn't mention cache specifically, and it the past having a shared cache and extra H/1 connections has been the justification for using 3rd party domains.
This is a real lame story for the BBC, and hypocritical of them to be using a Piers Morgan "scoop" as the basis.

Nobody takes the original joke seriously as a suggestion and this whole story was recently resolved with a truce after the regrettable bullying of him (for past transgressions) by Carlsen, Nakamura and others.

That resolution is newsworthy, this rubbish isn't.

If you aren't measuring performance than it doesn't exist and doesn't matter. So all you have to rely on what it looks like and personal biases. Most companies don't want to or can't do the leg work for a legally compliant performance related firing. It's easier to bundle everyone into a giant RIF.

The downside is the bad performers and the good performers don't get valuable feedback. Good workers assume they are in the former group which feeds their paranoia.

I think you’re being naive if you think NSO isn’t related to Israeli gov (in the same manner Lockheed Martin is related to US gov).

Having said that, I think you’re unjustly being downvoted. I agree that there’s often a strong bias against Israel, it’s being held to standards that other countries are not, and this is only one example.

True, and most websites will reencode images for compression anyway. But the point still stands this makes "hacked by clicking a link" a reality again for some people which should have ended along with flash and java applets. The current mainstream is that "you won't get hacked if you don't install." (not to say that this is the best security practise..) Since you don't install images most people will just assume they are safe. I hope this whole ordeal doesn't hurt JPEG-XL adoption.
You know nothing of how to read nor Morocco if you think this. The article you sent spells it out:

"The official investigation by the Spanish judiciary found that the attacks were directed by al-Qaeda,[5][6] allegedly as a reaction to Spain's involvement in the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq".

Morocco != Al-Qaeda. If you really think that, go travel the world and get enlightened a bit about it rather than sitting in your house with a tinfoil hat trying to relate a beautiful country to a terrorist organization without providing any proof. (or even providing an article which refutes your own claim.)

Yeah. This thread is getting to me.

Okay. Net neutrality died and ISPs didn’t immediately turn the internet in to subscriptions to different cloud providers.

The fact is that they CAN, and to be so deliriously ignorant as to believe that “it didn’t happen yet, so it will never happen” is just… what is happening here?

Is this thread just ChatGPT bots?

Regardless of if Microsoft, google, Amazon and ISPs have not yet managed to cooperate in to cable style subscriptions to what parts of the internet you get, we are WAY better off enshrining to law that they cannot do it.

I do not subscribe to the idea the regular german army was entirely clean. And all war is dirty!

Furthermore you are absolutely correct that Soviet rule was not something you'd wish for.

Waffen SS was however a truly heinous organisation. If you consider it common to join the SS I would state that it also paints a rather extreme picture of those persons.

I think it is very dangerous to apologise for SS "just because they killed Soviets".

I must admit I found that element of the story...surprising. Has realtime faking gotten that good yet? Presumably there was back and forth in this call so this person was either disguising their voice or typing responses to be generated on the fly.

I know all this can be done, I'm just surprised it's reached the maturity where an attacker would choose to impersonate someone the call recipient presumably knew vs just being a vague "Bob from IT".

Although to be fair the article does say the employee was suspicious so maybe there was a delay which (if you were looking for it) you would spot.
AI powered greenhouse outperforms Dutch growers
Our law says that the portion sizes must be the amount that people typically consume at once. Which conceptually makes a lot of sense.

Nutrition facts per 100g is conceptually nice, but if the amount people typically eat at once is not 100g, then that means more math. Furthermore, in the US most recipes are not done by weight, so to be useful for recpie calulation, we would need to use say per 8 fl oz for liquids, a per

The problem with the US system is more that the FDA implements it based on survey results for categories of food, and only occasionally update the value. This means that food that falls in one category, but that consumers treat like it falls in a different one can get laughable portion sizes, and the same thing happens when the values become out of date.

Manufacturers don't really get a lot of discretion on choosing the listed serving size for most foods, with only a few places where the rules let a manufacturer choose (like for discrete units that take more than half and less than two thirds of the RACC, where the manufacturer can choose between a service size of one or two units). There are cases where manufacturers would prefer to list a different size (usually larger) because they know it is more accurate representation of what people consume, but they can't.

This is hardly the only issue. Some of the rounding rules can be rather absurd, meaning that is is not always possible to get accurate information for larger sizes by simply multiplying the values on the nutrition facts label.

That’s as close as you will get to a master narrative but it isn’t all of it.

Politicians aren’t always sure what will win for them, often face a menu of unappetizing choices and have other motivations too. (Quite a few of the better Republicans have quit in disgust in the last decade: I watched the pope speak in front of congress flanked by Joe Biden, then VP and John Boehner, then House Speaker when the pope obliquely said they should start behaving like adults and then Boehner quit a few days later and got into the cannabis business.)
