> Range anxiety was solved years ago.

Well no, it wasn't. My partner just bought a new EV recently and range anxiety is huge. I've been researching places to charge and there's nothing convenient nearby. There's an old business campus but it's a sketchy area to go sit for an hour or more. There's one near a starbucks close by but they are ridiculously expensive (95c/kwh). The best one is at a whole foods, but requires driving 15 minutes away from their destination, go sit there for an hour and then drive to campus. Not so great.
Everyone who "drops out" in this sense imagines that they are justified.
Yeah i just switched to kagi a couple weeks ago and ita great, much less seo stuff and very useful results at the top. The only thing i'll still use google for is shopping searches, since kagi doesnt have that explicit functionality.
You're painting with way too broad of a brush. It is not always better and not always worse. E.g. "give me a list of users who made two posts where both posts were created within 1 second of each other" This query would likely blow up on a system which has all the data completely randomly sharded (because you'd have to aggregate all the data centrally, unless you had a complicated shuffle setup (which most dbs dont)) whereas would work fine on a system which has posts sharded by time.
Ever since AirPrint (IPP) became standard about 10 years ago, I think less about Linux-compatible printers than I do about Linux-compatible laptops - I just basically assume they all will work, which has been true for me so far.
Yes. Yes. Yes. And I want to say that the next big thing amongst sane new entrepreneurs will be "Grant-strapping". Check out Rupak Doshi at TurboSBIR and AFWERX. Use Google and Linkedin. $250k cheques, equity free. No more incubators taking their cut for doing eff all.

There are SO many companies that have great products that are shut down because they are "zombies". Bullshit. They were sustainable, they had people earning money to grow their families, paying taxes to make the outside world happen.

They made one mistake. They just did not grow to the required venture size to be slaughtered by VC's and served to their friends.

Bury the tech. Bury the service. Drag down progress. I was in a startup that got offered $40m. The Investors said no, they wanted $400 Million. 3 months later. about 90 jobs lost and all that work vaporized. Customers absolutely bemused.

So bootstrapping is in. Will be big again. If folk are interested I have a ton of reading, material and resources I can share. It really is a mind over matter thing. And once you get to the stage to clearly say why you need investor money ( like if you want to do photonic pooling research and need lab equipment etc).

And actually makes more sense.

Bootstrapping forces discipline that the VC's dont want younger leaders to have. They want them to burn through cash and ask for more at a lousier evaluation so they can get more bang for their buck. And yes I witnessed that at first hand after that startup. As a programmer I should recognize patterns. Fail.

VC's are not evil people, they just do their job. Oddly they make your mom's pension funds work in many cases :-)

They should not make out that they are likeable though.
What urgent outages are you having that can't be circulated with a quick "hey is ___ down for you" in a shared org channel? Also, you still have to get up and walk over to the hubbub to find out what's happening, then walk back before digging into the issue - in that time you could have just read the slack message and been fixing.

You're inventing solutions to a problem that actually worsen the issue.

edit: also, automated alerting solves literally all your problems here - and that should be an investment even if you're at a company with 100% RTO. Your first line of alert will still be digital in that case. If you're waiting to hear panicked seatmates to solve issues you're sure not worried about immediacy.
Also Mono and the rest of .NET are in the same open source repositories today and it isn't as much a case of replacement as a proper code refactor and merge over the course of the last several years (by both Microsoft and a large open source community).
I know what you mean. Its more noticeable (imo) on the Michael one.... but its definitely in there. I think the pitch correction is to blame for a bit of the weirdness.
i've been looking at the idea of ball cap with surface mount LEDs under the bill of the cap, but i'm not much of a cap wearer any more. i then thought if they can fit cameras into sunglasses, why not do the Orbital thing with bright LEDs attached to my sunnies? then, the evil grin comes out and starts thinking more sinister with lasers to not just ruin the shot, but the sensor itself. then i realize, i've got work to do, and forget the whole thing
Sorry, I was going off the screenshot in the home page. It's just how I remember it.
Hey - Managing SPF RFC limits in large environments can be rather challenging - given the limit of 10 entries. (especially before you adopt DKIM)

Some vendors such as ProofPoint offer services such as SPF hosting, which allow you to work around this constraint. (https://www.proofpoint.com/au/resources/solution-briefs/proo...)

I’m not sure it will beat the S&P 500 or Apple stock, but I’d bet that an OG Apple Watch Edition will hold its value better than the gold you’d melt out of it.
Tell me you live alone or only with a partner in a single TV home.

Multiple users, multiple locations, one setup. That's the value.
Ask HN: Who's Retired?
I just found myself curious who's retired but still hanging out here. (Or did you join after leaving work?) How was the transition? Are you glad you retired when you did? Do you feel like you have a lot of free time, or got used to it quickly? What have you been doing with it?
are you really the man of your castle if you're in a one party consent state and need permission to do something in your castle?
Hooking the video out of a computer to a TV isn't the only use case. Once you can stream to any device and multiples of them, transcoding on the fly, with a good UX that saves your spot and tells you what's new with artwork and what seasons or special cuts are available, each attached to user profiles for multiple people, with good search including in metadata, and toss in the ability to download subtitles on demand and whatever else, you will be well on your way to reinventing Jellyfin and other plex-alikes!

I understand favoring simplicity for a simple use case, but it obviously doesn't scratch every itch.
LLMs are a revolution in cofounder relationships
Yes, it is - well worth it for companies that perceive value for that investment, but that is all part of the value analysis.
Which are, in my view, really minor advantages when compared to the disadvantages. Not only in terms of putting people out of work, but in terms of increasing the artifice of the world around us and decreasing its humanity.

I think you’re missing the context of my comment. What I meant was most people moving from India don’t move to US purely for “education”, if that was the case, they’d be going back to India after they were done.

The parent of my comment was arguing that public education in India (schooling and college) is not great and therefore people move to US. In reality that’s far from the truth. Sure, there’s always exceptions and some people do purely want to pursue some specific form of education that’s unavailable in India, pretending that publicly funded education is never good is just plain disingenuous.
It’s funny how we predicted the opposite.
Are you talking about this article? (I don't see a link to CNN's article here)

https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/business/evergrande-china-pro...

The exact quote is:

"[Then] there is the problem of unfinished projects, even if there is demand. The majority of new properties in China — about 90% — are sold before being completed, meaning that any setbacks for home builders could directly impact buyers, according to economists."

What is the problem with the paragraph? It describes a practice that is common in China but may not be known to CNN's audience. It mentions a pitfall of the practice, which is true and has played out many times, in China and elsewhere, easily verifiable. Nowhere does it say that it's a China only problem.

In fact, read the whole article before playing the victim. Not long. You'd be hard pressed to say it's more negative that a US-related economy news piece.
> If only we'd have known where that road ultimately ended.

Pushback is nothing like “a bump”

The nose starts lifting and it’s quite obvious. I’ve heard the term “Captain Morganing” in multiple groups of riders, because that’s how it feels if you’re not aggressively leaning into it to go faster.

The GT already has an audible alert, it’s less obvious than pushback.
Go on? Source?

Although it is not as hyped, HPC is much wider than just machine learning. H100 are incredibly useful in numerical simulation and scientific computing.

That's why there's a union.
I think that's a bit of an overstatement. It's obvious to us that this picture is a captcha on a locket. There's a lot of room on the spectrum between "naïve stupidity" and "cynical consideration". This falls under the category of not actually successfully identifying the picture, and I'd say it's not related to such concerns.
Anytime I see a journalist report on the "far-right" I wonder what the Right would be to them. Milquetoast conservatism?
It's a weird thing to specifically protect against when countless image to text libraries work locally and faster. Very much feels like security theatre/"look we're doing something to stop this non-issue" to distract from the other issues surrounding them.
Satya Nadella testifies against Google about how hard it is to break into search
"putting people out of work" by automating jobs is also a good thing.

The amount of stuff humans can accomplish is strongly limited by the supply of workers. Automating one job frees them up to do other things.
While it's a nice story, I seem to remember that it isn't true.

There was some article a while back that talked about the fact that measurements from the oil drop experiment pretty much moved as the input data got better.
Bullshit. There was a window of time where hard quarantine could have prevented it. Instead we got politics.

This was a one off first-gen product that was sold almost 9 years ago. How long do you expect them to keep maintaining it? At least no one is attempting to build infrastructure on top of an Apple Watch—that can’t be said about google’s services.
It is a bit funny to me that reading this, I can only guess that Jellyfin is a... Plex clone? I guess the writer assumes I already know about/want to improve the product which IS its intended audience, but coming from HN I'm just like what... is... it...
I've used Spotlight search on accident enough times to know that this is false :D
Source addresses: the Google bot traffic comes from a small set of Google-owned IP address blocks.

Third parties bake this into things like Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules. For example, Azure App Gateway WAF has a policy category for “known bots” which includes Google but excludes your tiny AI startup.

It’s a moat built by giant corporations to keep tiny players in their place.

Google "helpfully" publishes their bot source IP addresses: https://developers.google.com/static/search/apis/ipranges/go...

AWS also provides named rules such as "bot:name:googlebot": https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/aws-ma...
You absolutely can run full Linux on a Chromebook. I've done it with four.

I recently used 3x Dell 5190 and 1x Dell 3100 as touch-capable displays built into wooden cabinets running a Pygame app to communicate with a microcontroller and assorted electronics as part of a science festival booth.

The machines are rugged, have great battery life & durable screens, enough USB ports, space to run plenty of stuff, and I got them for $60 a piece refurbished and guaranteed good screen quality.
I can understand the situation is different in the UK. It's certainly seen some big decisions that weren't rooted in any kind of reality. And of course many other countries also suffer from the occasional decisions made for completely the wrong reasons.

But I'm not yet convinced that's the case here. I don't know the details of what's going on in Wales, but the Amsterdam decision to go from 50 to 30 makes a lot of sense. According to the graph matsemann posted (https://www.nullvisjonen-agder.no/images/grafikk/dodsrisiko-...), 30 is significantly safer than 50, whereas 40 is still in the middle of that curve.

Also, in Netherland, 30 is already a standard speed limit in many places, and it doesn't make sense to confuse the situation by introducing new speed limits in between the existing ones unless there's a really good reason to do so.
Will have a look :)
I get that the luxury watch crowd will look at this as a failure because they count the time a watch works not in years but generations. But the Apple watch isn't that type of watch, it's a wrist computer. And from my perspective having gotten 8 years of support on a smartwatch that was still one of the early generations for the device type itself is pretty decent. How long would you expect them to keep supporting this?
Author here: thanks for taking a look at pg_branch! I didn't expect to have this posted to HN today, but I'm happy to answer any questions folks have about it.
There’s a story about this newly rich woman who is trying to impress her new friends. “I clean my diamonds with milk, and my rubies with dilute vinegar,…”

Finally, she turns to an older lady and asks, what she uses.

The older lady just smiles and says that when her jewels get dirty, she just throws them away.

The gold Apple Watch is a status overpriced, impractical good for signaling and technological obsolescence is not really something that a person who buys it cares about.
Do you have a sense of how much people tend to get paid for commercial art, stock photography, etc.? That's essentially the ceiling on what contributors to training datasets can expect going forward. Regulation isn't likely to be able to significantly influence that, at least not in the US.
I've been thinking about doing something like this myself. Lyra[0], a codec by google, supports speech @3.2kbps (0.0004 MB/s), so 3.26060*24/1024/8, or 33.75MB/day. Filtering out periods of inactivity, it's likely under 10MB a day.

I feel like my math must be wrong, because this feels crazy!!

The purpose of these watches has long been served. They introduced Apple Watch as a premium digital watch to the masses, getting free media attention.

Celebrity owners would have got a brief sparkle from it. Perhaps also some of Apple's marketing budget too. And they continue to own a legacy item which will have notoriety beyond mere function.

Collectors of rare historical firearms presumably don't actually fire them.

That never went away. We just have multiple avenues:

1. Government funded research

2. Private industrial research

3. Private personal research

Usually, those involved in #3 are made fun of constantly by the lumpenproles. Before someone in category #3 makes it they look like Bryan Johnson doing Blueprint. That's the defining characteristic, actually. If you were to look at Ms. Kariko before she was successful, the majority of HN users would have made fun of her.
Semi-retired. Started a PhD. Getting up whenever I like, though trying not to get under my kids' feet when they are having breakfast before school. And going out clubbing again.

I seem somehow, partly because of some mild volunteering maybe, to have less free time than before! I am going to be spending half a Friday admiring new electric garbage trucks down at the local waste centre soon as part of this for example...
We were never gonna have a balance where those stay just hard enough but not too hard forever.

CAPTCHAs are already low-value since a person in a low-wage country can solve 100s per hour for a buck or two, so it’s already not doing its main job which is usually to prevent mass account/transaction creation.

It's very similar! Postgres.ai is built on ZFS and is a separate application that manages the file system and its branches/"thin clones". pg_branch is an extension that hooks directly into Postgres's own commands (specifically, CREATE DATABASE) to trigger branching.

It's definitely why I finally bit the bullet and spent about a week or so to refine all of my "focus" status in iOS and have them automatically engage depending on geo-location or specific time of day.

After a week of observing what worked/didn't work for me I enjoy my phone more and get the notifications I want when I want.

Before setting up the focus groups I definitely was receiving too many useless notifications damn near every hour.

too much monthly posts already. and yc's cofounder matching is more organized for it. 44 is nothing. there are thousands of founders in the cofounder matching engine these days, and the search filtering has been improved greatly.

we appreciate the effort, however im siding on dang on this one given my exp with yc starrtup school and cofounder matching.
Does anyone realistically think "Facebook" will exist in 2100?

Looking at how different the web is today from even 20 years ago there's almost no services that are remotely the same.

This study is analogous to one which says "if Cardi B continues to gain new fans at her current rate there will be 100 billion Cardi B fans by 2100" - it's a fundamental misunderstanding of the data, just as pop bands go in and out of vogue, dramatically changing their customer-base, so do businesses (especially websites)
Also, since I can’t edit my other comment, by your logic, if you are able to move from India to US, get into great universities for higher education, I would consider that as a testament to the fact that publicly funded education absolutely works, unless your argument is that only people who went to private schooling can make it here.

I'm always gonna point out these overly broad titles assuming "every software developer" is some kind of internetty web dev type. I'm a game dev, I try and never touch strings at all, they are a nightmare data type. Strings in a game are like graphics or audio assets, your game might read them and show them to player, but they should never come anywhere near your code or even be manipulated by it. I dont need to know any of that stuff about Unicode.

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

"Independent of the author's economic rights, and even after the transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to the said work, which would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authors%27_rights

"The authors of dramatic works (plays, etc.) also have the right to authorize the public performance of their works (Article 11, Berne Convention)."

"The protection of the moral rights of an author is based on the view that a creative work is in some way an expression of the author's personality: the moral rights are therefore personal to the author and cannot be transferred to another person except by testament when the author dies."

"“Author” is used in a very wide sense, and includes composers, artists, sculptors and even architects"

Architects can deny changes in interior design: Lighting, artwork, etc., long after the building is finished. Just a few days ago I talked with a theater director: The author of the original work has the right to deny a production, for whatever reason, e.g. if they don't like the nose of an actor.

I bet my voice is mine under most jurisdictions (and I mean most; the Berne convention has been signed by 181 countries), even if I signed a contract that gives you wide permission to use it. And if I didn't, you can't use it outside of the very narrow scope of the work I produced for you. Even if you simply want to reuse an existing recording in another context.
