I bounce between 144hz, 120hz, and 60hz all the time and while I notice a difference if I think about it, it’s not that big of a deal.

I notice 120hz vs 60hz more on iOS and Windows. But even then.
If this ML algorithm were not open source, it would be illegal for you to release it yourself as Apache 2.

It's a theoretical benefit, not a real one, and the scenario is so rare that most people don't think of it critically. It's like buying insurance against "damage by asteroids".

E.g.: "We can just sue Microsoft" is a common one.

a) Their SLA literally states that they will compensate you only for the cost of the individual service they provided. The $1/month Azure DNS Zone outage caused your $100M/month business to vanish off the Internet? Here's $1 for your compensation!

b) The US Government sued Microsoft and failed to get very far. Are you the US Government? Do you have a budget for dozens of the best lawyers money can buy? Have you sued a multi-trillion dollar market cap org successfully ever? No? Why do you think you can... and win?

Generally this boils down to: "I haven't read the contract I signed, but I'm sure if things go bad I can just make the lawyers magically fix things for me."
Not particularly relevant but the name "ROCm" is kind of terrible. Hard to pronounce, doesnt look good (the caps and then lower case is quite jarring). Minor details but I feel like these things do have a bit of downstream impact.
Fuck Luxottica. One of the jerkiest and most abusive companies on Earth. They bought Ray-Ban and every other glasses company, and then enshittifyied each and every one. The worst.

Fly.io: Bottomless S3-backed volumes
First thing I looked for was dedicated parentheses keys, was not disappointed.
I like Boston Dynamics' Stretch as a general solution, but given the sheer volume of standard loading docks/trailers, optimizing loading speed and density with a specialized solution feels (ooof) right.
you mention climate being a waste, but one of the only extinction events bigger than KT was the permian triassic, and that was caused by high atmospheric CO2. We're already on track for a pretty bad time (if all current government climate commitments are met, we're still on track for 3.8 degrees of warming by 2100, which is already a mass extinction), I would put climate induced mass extinctions above asteroid induced ones, just because we are in one now, and it is guaranteed to get worse.

Ask HN: Tips and Resources to get immersed in startup culture
I’m an early stage startup founder, and I’m loving it so far.

Apart from these, what other resources and communities exist that I can engage in?

Thank you in advance!
For starters, AUs are "easier" to run under Roestta than VSTs since AUs run out-of-process by default. This means you can use a x86_64 AU without running the entire DAW under Rosetta on Apple Silicon.

Version bumps are often enough to own a repository. There are plenty of examples of a quickly pulled version that introduces a security hole, and a few where the maintainer [account] pushes then immediately hides a malicious point release.
My understanding is that a lot of "knot culture" developed during the Nantucket whaling days. There were knots before, of course, but the variety and intricacy exploded. (a bit of a simplification of course, there are lots of cool Celtic knots and whatnot, too)

It was a somewhat special time, where you had a lot of relatively well-paid capable people stuck on a boat with nothing to do for sometimes weeks on end. Encourages some creativity, I suppose (: Scrimshaw is another product of that time — some really intricate stuff out there (eg: [1]).

For me, I feel like the bowline and trucker's hitch give you huge bang for the buck. Memorize those, and you can handle many things, with a bit of rope.

"The very occasional lag spike" completely destroys the ability to play Beat Saber. It'll drive you crazy (as it did me)!

...and I too tried dedicating my Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Wireless Long-Range Access Point (U6-LR-US) just for the headset to see if that would improve things (set it up with a new hotspot name so it'd be dedicated and only told the headset about it). The Wifi AP was on the wall just about 3 feet from my head and I still got the occasional lag spikes and I confirmed that they were due to the Wifi network (not just rendering spikes on my PC).

There's just too much random interference on the 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands for it to be buttery smooth. I suppose I could turn my house into a Faraday cage and that might improve things :)
Friendships are overhead. If you don't make regular effort to cultivate them, they wither and die. That takes time, and involves tradeoffs or impositions on other things you might want or need to do.

The question is whether the benefits are worth it.
It’s funny because I know of Marshall from the fact that he hosts one of the most popular Magic: the Gathering podcasts and I knew he had a wristwatch channel on YouTube but I’ve never seen anyone who knew him primarily from that.
Mistake, to underestimate scale effect. For example, in Ukraine use large enterprise fission reactors (mostly 900MWt or 1000MWt), and they are so effective, that could sell energy for less than half of solar cost.

Yes, we have some parts of country with small population density, but their share of energy consumption is also small, so they are not affect whole balance much.

I must admit, things are constantly change last months, so future could be very different. But just now, nuclear are cheapest in Ukrainian energy balance.
It seems like aspects of miniaturizing multi-stage fusion devices can still be difficult. Single stage unboosted fission devices should be be near trivial, so long as you have a source of fissile material (as you indicated).

The other secret-ish aspect is details of the safety features and permissive action links. I say -ish because at one point the US offered to give PAL technology to the Soviets.
“Has more information therefor better optimized” is bordering on a lie, is the problem.

Theres truth to a point I guess, but it’s also true that lots of “more information” is useless, and sometimes harmful to optimization, and additionally that it’s really diminishing returns.

Truth is as long as you’re not over relying on RAII, JVM will virtually never outperform C++.

Yep, but in the end I was able to switch by monitoring the voltage generated by the water on the stainless rods, using a microcontroller. Worked great for a few years until I moved out. Haven't had a sump pump since. (good riddance)

Residential: Bah; Dormitory: Yay!

In brief: [Charlie Munger—billionaire vice chairman of Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway] has offered UCSB more than $200 million to build this dorm to his designs, which will cost an estimated $1.2 billion. The structure is a giant block in which almost none of the rooms have windows.

Lighthouses of the United Kingdom

If you’re spending more than a few months on a topic you might be doing it wrong. I find that following a slightly stressful fast-paced schedule is actually kind of important for effective learning.
it is commonly remarked that the automatic transmission is a hydraulic computer. well, the old ones. the newer ones are hydraulic/electric computers.

Ya want real fun go look at the balancing, multipoint valve manifold bodies on some construction equipment. stuff where they're switching 3 or 4 hydraulic cylinders that articulate an arm. each with 2 analog inputs that need attention to work together. and then the whole group has to coordinate smoothly so none of their power curves intersect badly (and wrench the joint apart instead of lifting the arm, for example)

Feed that off a limited pool of power (and fluid!) and make it all controllable by one or two levers in such a way that a human can learn to use it as smoothly as they do any other stick. Humans are really good at "stick".

One fellow I worked with had built his own (massive, huge monster) cable plow type deal for putting 6in drain pipe several feet under croplands without having to disturb the surface much. He showed me one of the custom control valves he'd fabricated; it resembled the cylinder from a revolver with the control stick coming out the top linking to these "shell" cylinders that went into each individual chamber as the joystick moved around and twisted. with like a dozen in and out hydraulic ports feeding from a large square base into this, machines such that little leverage could control high pressure, high volume fluid flows. mixer faucet x6.

Lovely thing, massive block of metal. I dunno how much pressure that controlled in use but likely enough for a pinhole leak to cause serious injury. This machine was built on top of a Caterpillar D8 dozer and the thing grunted to lift the plow hanging off the back of it. As a control, it was at least as natural as the MS Sidewinder force joysticks were... i don't have a higher standard of comparison to offer.
Industrial garage or old single story garment factory conversions are extremely popular with hipsters. Many of the smaller places can be converted into...something. I've seen some beautiful conversions in Pioneer Square/downtown Seattle.

But the taller office buildings are much harder to convert, not impossible, and can lead to some stunning excesses (like really high ceilings with horrible heating costs) that wouldn't be possible in a direct for residential build.

> , some of them even make the plumbing added look more of an industrial design

This was probably out of necessity rather than aesthetics, but again, hipsters (especially rich ones) love this stuff.
"Nobody plays games on Apple."
I love this! My father created a panorama with walkable waypoints like this for the Golden Temple in Amritsar and a few other historic sites back in the Shockwave/Flash days (something like 2001). Turned out to be some of my early learnings in building with Flash.

I also actually took my own series of photos on a whim a few weeks ago with the intention of DIY stitching my own pano and used to love using Microsoft's "old" (08-10) Seadragon/Photosynth tech.

I'd be very curious to learn more about your JS implementation. :)
Any human worker will increase the cost of labor compared to automation. Even at slave wages, automation wins every single time. Employers are, and long have been, 100% incentivized to automate the instant it becomes technologically feasible.

Research and advancement in automated food preparation has never stopped. They were working on the problem in the 1970s with automatic vending machines, Fast food in particular has been salivating at thought of throwing out human workers for ages. (see for example: https://www.deseret.com/2003/8/11/19740875/mcdonald-s-flips-... and https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/local/mcdonalds-testi... and https://www.cnet.com/culture/mcdonalds-hires-7000-touch-scre...)

The very second that the tech is ready and reliable enough, it's a done deal. No worker will ever be as cheap as a robot slave.
Would you rather do something yourself with an accessible user interface or API, or open a ticket to ask somebody to do it for you?

Sometimes communicating with an intelligent agent is harder than doing things yourself with a good structured user interface where you can communicate your intent clearly.

There are many tradeoffs the major OS's made over the years.

There is a reason Mac had such tiny market share for so long, especially among enterprises. Installation was among pros and cons, but I would advise you to come off your high horse and understand the rest of it. Some reasons technical, some not. For a long time enterprises shunned Mac for extremely pragmatic reasons.

serious question but aren’t newer connections that you make in this manner necessarily much more shallow than the ones you’ve started long ago, which does include friends/family from earlier phases in life? how could that possibly give you joy or even call it “friendship” at all if people only know you in a trivial sense? what you described sound more like acquaintances to me.

DozerDb Plugin Adds Multi-Database to Neo4j Community

Yes, but they are not scoped to the parent:

$ foo()
> {
> bar()
> {
> echo 42
> }
> }
$ foo
$ bar # bar can be called though we are not in foo!
42

Probably the most profitable use for this is for individual functions to override some callback.

But without even dynamic scope, you have no nice way of restoring the previous one, which could be one that some intermediate caller installed for itself.

It could be used to delay the definition of functions. Say that for whatever reason, we put a large number of functions into a file and don't need them all to be defined at once. There can be functions which, when invoked, define sets of functions.

A module could be written in which certain functions are intended to be clobbered by the user with its own implementation. A function which defines those functions to their original state would be useful to recover from a bad redefinition, without reloading that module.
Correct, you do not know me or my friends. You only know what I told you, that we had a lot of fun for a while, but I shortened what would have been a much longer story. It is easy to judge others when you do not know the details, I understand that. The best possible life is often a trade off between a lot of fun and responsibilities, children, family, careers, parents that need care and well, one could explain those things at great length, or one could say "life happens". Caring about others sometimes means making trade offs. I don't know you, so I won't judge you or your perspective, but you might want to consider broadening your perspective about what the best possible life entails. It's not always as simple as you might imagine. I wish you well, and hope you find your best possible life and find a way to understand how others often make a number of complicated calculations to find that, often that is not as simple as you might realize right now.
Personally, I would use the terminal, too for a throwaway use case like this. But GUIs are very good at that and faster when you do more than the naïve case, they also allow to see intermediate steps.

For your use case, on macOS open Automator.app and add three actions

1. "ask for finder items" (the source folder)
2. "filter finder items" (by name)
3. "copy finder items" (to target folder)

This takes roughly 5 clicks, 10 seconds at most.

Repeatability and configurability is where the GUI action shines. With only one click more you can

- add filtering by size, opening date, modification date, etc. in addition or a combination thereof

- do the same action for multiple source folders and the same target folder

- choose whether you want to replace existing files

- add it as a folder action that runs automatically on modification of the source folder

Arguably much slower on the terminal.

Alternative on macOS, that works on all other major OS with similar shortcuts and a similar feature set, just not repeatable:

1. Go to source folder (shift-cmd-G)
2. Filter (cmd-shift-F)
3. Copy (cmd-A, cmd-C)
4. Go to target folder (shift-cmd-G)
5. Paste (cmd-V)

This repeatability, configurability and automation is where GPT falls short, for now.

pfft. I want residuals when the instruction pointer is incremented.
That has always been me. As an adult I have always had just one or two close friends at any point in time. Never really part of a larger group of more casual friends. And I agree, in those situations it seems like most people are just bullshitting to say something. I rarely come away feeling like it was time well spent, or that I got to really know anything about anyone.

Much easier and more rewarding to spend time with one person at a time.
Prompt engineering directly correlates with good communication and knowing how to steer a conversation. There’s no tricks to the game, but the amount of people I talk to that don’t know how to get what they want from an LLM, clearly shows that it’s a skill set to be acquired.

The issue is with the name. Perhaps prompt tinkering would have been a better choice.
Insomnium?
You could use &3 etc, but that's non-standard. 2>&1 does pipe both into stdout, you would have to do 1>/dev/null 2>&1 to get stderr only going to stdout.
To expand the conversation a bit with the hopes of breaking out of what seems to be some kind of language trap ... Let's talk about how a person and a computer can arrive at / prove truth.

A person's brain can generate true concepts in many ways. One way is careful logical thinking based on true premises. Another is some other manner of thinking (pick whatever you like) which ends up being true.

Speaking of combinatorics and algorithms now, there are many ways to validate truth. It depends of course on the style of logic in play. Depending on the set of logical primitives available (e.g. modus ponens), there are many different computational pathways get from a set of premises to a conclusion. In other words, there are many ways to prove the Pythagorean Theorem.

I don't think we'll disagree. But maybe? Or maybe we'll get clear on some language barrier?
