> but it would be easy for them to hire someone at the same cost who has more output

History has shown that it's not easy at all to replace someone. It's difficult to find good people and convince them to join you and it can take a long time. If you can write code, you should always have the upper hand on your employer especially if your co-workers also realize that.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know back in the 19th century that the US also used bimetallic currency where 10 US silver dollar is equivalent to 1 gold coin.

This has been (more or less) the standard since like forever, for at least several thousand of years including in major world's empires including the Greek, Persian, Roman (Rome and Byzantine), Islamic (Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, Ottoman) and British Empire until 19th century where bimetallic currency namely silver coin (dirham) and gold coin (dinar) were pervasive.

Fun facts, the word dirham in Islamic empire is derived from the word drachma with the same meaning in Greek, while dinar is derived from the Roman word denarius.

I would love to have Wed/Fri as no meeting days, so I could choose which one to take off depending on how I’m feeling, what the current work streams look like, and personal plans.

A three day weekend is great for a trip. Hump day off is great for a break. Either could be good for an extra day of big exercise/recovery or deep cleaning my house.

And then if working on either day, I get a full day of heads-down time.
Some times I miss being able to do updates in the way you described.

Bitcoin did factually fail at its stated goal, as laid out in the original whitepaper. Bitcoin has not succeeded at being a peer-to-peer currency, because the "peer-to-peer" part went out the window when users stopped hosting their own nodes, and the currency part was abandoned when people realized that transaction throughput is fatally low.
Absolutely. I worked very briefly and regrettably as a cold-call telemarketer and the vast majority of the people who would stay on the line were elderly and seemed to enjoy talking to a friendly person who wanted to sell them fake supplements. I still feel bad about the one sale I made.
My mom was building pretty good websites in dreamweaver nearly 25 years ago without touching code.

UTC is a time zone too. ISO standard "2023-09-29 09:26:43.927" isn't known to be UTC; you need a "Z" at the end for that. For whatever reason, the client doesn't ask the DB for its implied time zone either.

If no UTC relation information is given with a time representation, the time is assumed to be in local time.
If the time is in UTC, add a Z directly after the time without a space.

The only way to totally avoid the concept of time zones is to use a Unix-like timestamp, 1696004800.927.

The QHN/Kollsman window setting only affects what is displayed to the wetware. When you strip away all that the autopilot is just servoing to a pressure altitude. But sure if you are flying below the transition altitude and are flying between areas with different QNH settings when you adjust the setting the autopilot will climb or descend as needed because you told it to servo to a different pressure altitude.

There are many EFB (e.g. Foreflight), or log book, or other flight recorders you can use on an iPhone. And some can record the pressure transducer in the iPhone to record an approximate "pressure altitude". e.g. Naviter SeeYou Navigator intended for gliders can do that (but it's not unusual for modern gliders to have an array of sophisticated air data sensors and specialized variometers and flight computers that would feed the app this data over Bluetooth). Popular EFB software Foreflight will not use the iPhone pressure transducer, if you want pressure data there you need to drive that through an external interface like a Sentry ADS-B receiver that has a pressure sensor built into it -- or much better if the aircraft is equipped with ADS-B Out can receive the "own-ship" ADS-B Out broadcast pressure altitude from it's high accuracy encoder). Any in-cabin pressure traducer will be sensitive to the difference between calibrated static pressure and cockpit pressure, things like opening or closing vents, or varying the airspeed significant (and ram air pressure or suction on the cockpit exit vents) can cause observable changes. And when using an iPhone or similar, especially without a great GPS satellite overhead view (e.g. in high wing aircraft) you are likely not to get high-quality GPS altitude data. think best case ~ +/- hundred feet, worse case with little overhead GPS sat view, much worse... but those consumer GPS app is likely to happily display multiple decimal points of precision :-)

I don't think this time should be labeled as "slacking off". It's just not working and there's nothing wrong with that if you've already met your obligations.
Really gr8.
Doesn't this contradict your previous statement where you defined rape as "forcing someone to have sex against their will"?

Is having sex with a 12 years old despicable and morally unexcusable? Yes. Is it rape? Unless you're willing to say a 12 years old doesn't have a will at all, calling it rape contradicts your own definition.
You were the smartest of us all.
This is true. Laws are modified over time.

... the law rarely completely leaves the field once it has entered into regulating something previously unregulated. To do so is, generally, seen as returning an issue that needed the heavy hand of force back to the "chaos" of personal choices. So once the law replaces the murky, per-person-and-entity definition of "privacy" with a legal definition, that definition will stick.

I expect, for example, any law latching what data companies may and may not keep to be very, very sticky. The details may change, but I find it highly unlikely that the government, having crafted such a law, will return to the condition of "On this, the law remains silent; it is up to the corporations what they collect and the people what they yield," which is (mostly, with some notable exceptions) the status quo.

Can you think of examples where something was regulated and then the government retuned it to an unregulated state? Closest example I can think of was Prohibition; we added and removed an entire amendment, and even then, the current state is "a combination of state and federal authority regulates alcohol," stepped down from a ban.

My dad, whose dad had a radio and tv repair shop, got me a kit for making one when I was a little kid. I spend the day coiling the wire and following the instructions. When I was done and the artifact captured radio waves I was so excited! It's one of those vivid memories from childhood, a moment that put me on the path for a technology focused career.
The lack of an iMac 5K replacement is basically the reason why I'm preparing to leave Macs and the whole apple ecosystem behind.
As far as I'm concerned, when the main use of your computer is focused around text, because of Apple technological choice when it comes to scaling for HiDPI display you need a 5k27" display if you don't to want compromise in macOS. Otherwise with a cheaper 4k display your choices are between a much reduced workspace or get constant font blurriness.
Windows doesn't have this problem and I say that as someone who has historically prefered how macOS handle fonts (still do but only on capable hardware).

The way I see things Apple is completely responsible for this problem and should also be responsible for providing a decent solution at a reasonable price.

But currently the cheapest option (Basic M2 Mac Mini + Studio Display + Keyboard & Mouse) 2642€ instead of the previous 2100€ (inflation is unhinged in Apple land) and on top of being much more expensive for a way more locked down configuration (previously RAM was freely upgradable and SSD upgrade was involved but doable) it is not faster in a way that match the price increase or even better than what Intel has been doing. In fact the truly faster is mostly single thread performance (42% better), multicore is a just bit faster (21%) and GPU is actually slower (-14%).
In other words : for much more money you gain a bit not in way that is change what it possible to do with the computer but you also lose in a way that make some things you could do before worse (gaming and generally). That is on a

Not sure if this counts, but many successful games have been made with Game-maker-style tools, which I think would be classified as "low-code". E.g. Undertale
They really need to not use the term "authentic" to name this.

They also need to be very, very careful when introducing capability to falsify photographic images convincingly.

Using the term "authentic" for this (and how do they even know what's an authentic memory?) doesn't sound like being very, very careful. It sounds like being gratuitously reckless.
Show HN: SceneXtras – Chat with Netflix's AI Cast via Chrome Extension
Hey HN, A good friend an I have been building this passion project on nights and weekends working remotely. Its a Chrome extension that aims make your streaming experience interactive.

SceneXtras adds a chatbot interface to your streaming platforms. Imagine Tony Stark explaining his tech while you're watching Iron Man. Designed to be platform-agnostic. Based on demand we can add any number of streaming service.

Additionally we have SceneGPT which is for general questions around a film or series. When you're six episodes deep into that foreign political thriller and forgot who's screwing over who, you can ask it to give explantations without leaving the window. You can think of it like DVD commentary meets Pop Up Video meets Replika for TV & movies.

This is my first Show HN. So please be gentle :)
> But maybe then do not wonder when the rest of the world does not care about software freedom and also don't donate or support it in any way.

I mean, i would more wonder why people would think the rest of the world care about the gnu project's four freedoms or even understand them.

Half the time we can't even get citizens to care about basic things like freedom of speech.
Fucking with sovereign nations in the name of fruit companies is US heritage at this point
My bad, looks like the direct costs of an employee are more typically 1.4x the salary. That's basically taxes, benefits and perks and benefits. There also indirect costs like equipment, working space and administration so I believe the true cost of having an employee actually doing work is higher but probably more like 1.6x salary and not 2x.
My experience so far is that cheap small storage (usb thumb drives and sd cards, essentially) should be bought in person from a reputable store.

I agree but the alternative is even worse in my opinion. Yes it will work in the short term but check always comes due and it comes with a vengeance when you mess with reality.

This was the main messahe in all my previous posts. Re-organising society in such a way has massive unintended consequences.

Just like the human body, societies are very resilient but at some point it breaks and we are the breaking point. All it will take is a few more straws.

P.S.

> economists consider inflation to be good and healthy

I'm not an expert either but from what I understand, macro-economics is basically astrology for intellectuals but worse. There are different schools (keynesian, austrian, MMT, marxist etc) and the Keynesians won the roll of the dice. IMO very silly.

The entire premise is wrong. Both inflation and deflation are good or bad depending on the context. Its was never meant to wielded handful of people selected by a guy who won a popularity contest.

Idk if you've seen the world of warcraft movie (Warcraft), there is a type of magic in the movie called fell. Its offers a lot power at great cost. Thats artificial inflation/deflation (easing/tightening).

In the movie, you see the villain (Gul'dan) wielding fell by extracting the life force of people, thats exactly what happens when Jeremy (Fed chair) increases/decreases the rates or when a trillion dollars gets printed.
Hi HN! proud to present my latest interview with Raza Habib of Humanloop (YCS20). he went viral on the YC youtube a few months ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQC5O3WTmuo) and in general has been the first and best known LLMOps/PromptOps/Foundation model ops platform out there (having bet on NLP before GPT3 and then ChatGPT blew up).

I caught up with him in london and covered the origin story of how they pivoted from an automated labeling product into Humanloop today, and what they are seeing in both the AI Engineering and UK/Europe tech scene vs SF. They also launched their new pricing (free tier) and evals product (which a lot of other startups are trying to build) so we got into that a bit and I chose to highlight the "GPT4 nerfing" debate as that has been a topic of interest here before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36134249).

happy to take qtns!
I know someone who did something similar. He remarried then went back to and cropped or deleted ten years of Facebook photos to make it look like he never had a previous relationship and just ten years of boys nights.

He even has a picture up of him from his wedding day… standing alone in a tux.
I mean, they at least have SOC2 compliance, and obviously a lot more (FEDRAMP). To get those certifications an auditor is going to make sure you have basic shit in place like logging, etc.
I'd call that "contextual" rather than authentic.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. You could even treat extensions as tokens and whitelist numbers only if they call the right extension.
Hey, OP here! We just spent the past 8+ months rebuilding our DIY logging stack on top of ClickHouse. Happy to answer any questions!
Does it really matter? This isn’t a real product. It’s a scam product to trick people trying to buy a real Apple part and con them into the app’s clutches.

The real part doesn’t need anything. Plug and go.

Visa has at least 343 million cardholders worldwide.

Of course trying to determine crypto "users" is essentially impossible but even the most bloated and inflated estimates (users unique per chain, address = user) put the number somewhere around 300 million. Personally I think it's more like 50-100 million by the time you factor in users on different chains, different wallets, etc. I've spent a lot of time analyzing chains to come to that number, it's not difficult. Nearly every crypto user participates on more than one chain and often uses at least two addresses (hot and cold wallet, for example).

Sure enough, the quote is right there in the report:

"over 25 million blockchain addresses held over $1 in stablecoins"

25 million addresses, which absolutely don't equal users. Even if they did, that's .05% of global internet users (5.2 billion). With the threshold for inclusion at $1...

Of course you say "moving as much value" which doesn't necessarily correlate directly to users or their activity but I would venture to guess (if the report is accurate at all) that a substantial portion of that stablecoin "value" volume isn't anything resembling the economic activity of Visa where every swipe is in exchange for a good or service. At best settlement between exchanges but also wash trading and all kinds of weird hijinx that are basically just swapping tokens around with no other meaningful economic activity. Just look at chain analysis breakdowns on the latest crypto heist and watch them tumble it through stablecoins at least once (often many more). I guess that's "value" but I certainly wouldn't be touting it.

The crypto narrative of helping the unbanked is essentially PR damage control spin to try to counter all of the obvious evils that crypto is directly involved in and often responsible for. This volume (if even accurate) has nothing to do with helping regular people, the oppressed, the unbanked, whatever.
I don't think it's bots, I see these sort of people in real life, it's most people in some circles.

They are playing a little social game where you bet on a what a socially acceptable opinion is and if you guess right you get dopamine in the form of likes. This concensus seeking feedback loop results predictably in a hivemind.

What do you suppose that ratio to be in terms of e.g. transaction volume?

Personally I think it's >90 : <10 (scams : sympathetic). Others seem to think the balance is very different, or that it _could_ be different some day and that alone is a reason to "leave it alone".
Legally police need evidence of some crime (probable cause) to stop and investigate an individual. This is so police can't just randomly confront people or even worse illegally discriminate based on race. Police have historically used minor traffic violations like tail light failure, the smell of marijuana, or "furtive movements" as loopholes to the requirement of probable cause. A technowiz device provides an excuse to just stop and frisk everyone near the alert even if the cause was a car backfiring.
Phones weren't such a loud device constantly interrupting us. When they became this, people stopped having them.
Ask HN: Who is programming on iPadOS 17?

Teams in the FIRST robotics competition community use the Raspberry Pi for computer vision. There's an open source program called Photonvision that provides an easy way for talented high school students to set up CV. Some of the better teams use Orange Pis or mini PCs for this purpose (and some of the best teams have fully custom solutions), but a Raspberry Pi is a lot easier to set up and is cheaper (even at $60). Also, my understanding is that the architecture of the RPi4 CPU/GPU allows for GPU acceleration of classical CV algorithms without copying (and that feature is integrated into Photonvision), so this hardware upgrade will probably make the Raspberry PI perform on par or better than more expensive options, while being easier to setup.

And two MIPI camera ports is also really nice for this application, because the new advancement in FRC is to use April Tags included with the field for full field localization. For this purpose, I've heard you get better results with global shutter MIPI cameras than USB webcams, and having multiple cameras is good for always seeing an AprilTag.

Something important to remember is that the transient documents in the Ancient Mediterranean and Mesopotamian days were scratched into clay (a medium which allows it to be easily erased and adjusted if necessary, and is plentifully available in quantity). One consequence is that if you have these things in a storage building that catches on fire, the clay is baked into pottery and essentially permanently preserved for archaeologists to uncover. Texts written on organic parchment or papyrus are far less durable, as they tend to decompose unless properly stored.

This means we probably have an exaggerated abundance of economic documents due to survivorship bias of the things they wrote economic data on.
Wow that's amazing! Does the iPhone have something like that?
this is very cynical and hurts everything i am trying to do with this podcast. humanloop did not pay for this, i invited them on because they are one of the top companies in their space, and thought it might be of interest to HN because of their YC connection + perspective from working extremely closely with OpenAI (many might remember https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36177895 which we chose not to discuss on the pod but I asked him literally everything else). it hurts when people dismiss my work so casually as it was done in complete good faith and genuine interest in how founders are building in the new AI world.
I think "composite" would be more accurate to describe this process. As in, "complete a picture using image composition".

I think the reason is influence. Older people have accumulated more connections and therefore have more power and influence.

Their underlings support them because they lose access to a great influencer in case of removal.

It's more difficult for young people to rise up when there's very little influence to be had. However, in times of great upheaval young people tend to rise up much faster as the incompetent people at the top get removed.
