I was a board member at a small arts non-profit. Honestly one of the things we really struggled with was how to handle volunteers when we were paying some people.

We decided to go all volunteer, as it seemed like it would make it easier to ask members to help out. (avoids the why are they getting paid and not us..?).

But with a very small anual budget (very low 5 figures) per year, most of which was from member fees, and almost all of which we spent on our public and free event. paying people wasn't an issue, we just couldn't.

With the spike in donations the foundation got, it becomes way more difficult to manage. Especially since it was a volunteer effort for the most part before 2021. I see some obvious overhead (maintaining p5.js online editor/ toolkit. etc..) but I also see echos of the "why is this valuable and worth paying for but not that"...
Whatever you do, don't take the Android 14 upgrade. Mine is dogshit slow now. I'm trying to decide if I can be bothered losing all my config and setting it up again with Android 13, or just paying Google for a new phone.

One of the best professors I ever had took a radically different approach to grading than I've seen anywhere else but history books: he gave you a grade based on his perception of your understanding of the material.

He graded assignments and exams, out of a courtesy to those who needed a numeric style of feedback, but there was no set way to translate your total scores on assignments into your final grade in the course.

Exams would be, in a word, brutal, in that no one was expected to ace them, or even complete them. What he wanted to see was that you'd be able to apply the course material to novel situations. He'd meet with every student during the course of longer term projects, just to get some insight into their work.

Ultimately, it wouldn't have scaled well beyond the 50-odd of us were in his course, but it was certainly AI proof.

At the time, I thoroughly enjoyed it because it drove the kids who were hyper-fixated on grades and point grubbing up a wall. Looking back, it was the best teaching style I ever experienced.

>There will be no site that does not offer advertising, because advertising allows the site to determine which sellers can afford to pay more while still being profitable.

It's still possible that people exist who charge "what it's worth" rather than "what they can get". Those people can still make a fine living off of a two sided market place through flat transaction fees. Craigslist is an example that comes immediately to mind. Smart market participants are already punishing providers that maximize profit with payola, which is leading to success of new smaller niche markets - reverb.com comes to mind, or bricklink.com or alibris.com. That is not to say the market of markets is "solving" this problem - we probably want more consumer protection law - but it does show that your startement about ads is, strictly speaking, false.

The depreciation between Pixels and iPhones is staggering.

Trade-in in Germany on Google Store page:

- Pixel 6 Pro 256gb ($999 on release) - 235€

- iPhone 13 Pro 256gb ($1099 on release) - 730€

While I am partial to Googles line of phones (had pretty much every Google phone since the nexus one), the loss of value is something I cannot really ignore any more when deciding to buy a phone.
15 years is a really, really long time even with Moore's law being dead. The ios AppStore launched pretty much exactly 15 years ago and everything has changed since then.

Quick reminder what we had 15 years ago: a single camera on the back, 128 MB ram and samsung processors in the iphone.
Norway also had the FAST search company acquired by Microsoft. Is Norway particularly good at making search stuff?
The status quo is great. You have yearly releases that are stable and allow anyone to upgrade without fear of the new model coming out like with traditional video game consoles.

No one is forcing you to buy anything you don’t want.

Also, the OS and apps need to take advantage of new hardware, so it’s not a surprise if your seven year old phone becomes slower.

If you don’t like the status quo then I would go with a non-iOS and non-android phone like pine phone, Mairena, librem, or anything else that based on a more open Linux distro.
Are your thoughts or ideas ever in language before you say or write them?

I think this is the same misunderstanding as “the mind’s eye” https://x.com/stuartjritchie/status/1708871999924179024?s=46
What you are proving is that they are in fact working on this problem. And it is a problem, but it is not Estonia doing this, it is simply criminals taking advantage of an underpowered state in the EU that tries very hard to create ways to hook up to foreign entrepreneurs. Unfortunately the crypto gangs are like cockroaches. But it isn't Estonia itself doing this and you really should stop making silly statements like that.

The US did the right thing in forcing Latvia to have a higher standard, at the same time, these countries are very weak in terms of controls and yet they have to have all of the trappings of a fully functional EU state to be able to play by the rules. This stretches local resources, sometimes beyond the breaking point. As an illustration: you, a citizen of another country also did business in Estonia, something that likely would be quite difficult in many other places for exactly those reasons.

Finally: BaFin had problems, they run a lot deeper than WireCard and you would be similarly silly in stating that fraud was the businessmodel for Germany. Such generalizations serve no purpose.

Well, "I'm right because carefully cherry-picked opinion and misleading statistics agree with me" is arguably worse.

Tell me, would you use the same "reasoning" applied to literally anything else? Will you be taking up a cigar habit in the defense of Ronald Fisher, literally the "father of modern statistics", who disputed the link between smoking and cancer? https://priceonomics.com/why-the-father-of-modern-statistics... While doing this, will you turn a blind eye to the evidence that corporate interests had in maintaining doubt (in this case, it would be tobacco companies, but in the OP case, oil companies)? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2879177/ Or will you stop wearing seatbelts because of some niche cases of it preventing people from escaping submerged vehicles? https://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-driving-safety/safety-reg...

What's the potential cost of you being right vs. the cost of you being wrong? Can you even calculate it with any certainty? Do you know which groups of people it might impact? Do you know what parts will be irreversible? Or are you just another armchair rabblerouser whose day job is... Not remotely connected to studying this stuff at least 8/5?

Money laundering isn't about getting money into the system, it's about making it look like it comes from sources that aren't illegal.

If entity A can set up hundreds of fake twitch accounts, all of which tip entity B from A's pool of illegal money, then B can claim that it's revenue is entirely above board, it just came from Twitch tips.

By "to the floor", do you mean depressed as hard as one can, or that it actually fully depresses?

I genuinely like Java and find Spring Boot enables me to be more productive and let me focus on the business logic. Spring Boot may seem a bit scary for junior developers with its focus on "magical" annotations, but once you get past the initial learning threshold it really pays off relatively quickly due to the eco system of modules that work well together.

There are of course smaller Java frameworks that you can use if you have made an honest try and dont like Spring, but the eco system is hard to beat. Go also does not have any benefits that are of any real value to me. I have admittedly not tried Elixir, but it seems to me that the mature eco system around Java is better for someone like me who is not interested in spending time on less mature 3rd party dependencies. I like the concept behind Phoenix Liveview, so I will try it sometime.

Java as a language has improved a lot recently, and while there it could be better at handling nulls, it's not enough to make me choose Kotlin.

If you had told me I would have Java+Spring Boot as my first choice 10 years ago, I would have doubted you. Java at the time seemed to stagnate, but this has changed .
My wife and I are on the pixel 3 still as well. I hate the size of the 8, but that camera sure looks real nice...

Her pixel 3 is also starting to shutdown randomly which is concerning since our last phones were the bootlooping nexus 5x.
> The degree gets you the interview, the network might open a door or two, but the education is how you get the job.

What a great way to respond. I couldn’t agree more.
This decision was not optimized for the operation of the chemistry lab. It was optimized to game the university's procurement process. It was a brilliant idea, if your objective was to exhaust your allocated facilities maintenance budget on something that you knew would have a very limited lifespan. That means you would have to request an even larger budget in just a year or two, in order to replace the destroyed carpet. Then your department gets both a new floor and a larger budget.
He got ya.
In theory one can have 640G = 8 * 80G A100s memory and launch it. 180B Falcon with fp16 will be 360G, so there would be enough memory. It's definitely going to be very expensive indeed.
Is that really the case? Maybe if you DIY the replacement? When my Pixel 4 battery started expanding (and popped the back off the phone) 2 years ago, I contacted a local repair guy who came to my house and replaced the battery for me for $80. That was 2 years ago and the battery has been fine since. It's certainly degraded a bit over those 2 years, but no more than I'd expect. I still get a full day of charge out of it, and then some.

Yes, we absolutely need to be in a place where DIY battery replacements are reliable and cheap. But using a local repair shop seems to be a perfectly fine alternative for now.
It actually reminds me of a newspaper article about Mexico that is now unfortunately behind a paywall: https://worldview.stratfor.com/article/mexico-and-failed-sta...

It argued that Mexico is not a failed state and compares the contribution and profit margins of the Mexican industry to GDP and the contribution and profit margins of the drug industry to GDP. The conclusion was that the country is basically geographically divided between the industrialized area and the drug trade area and both parts provide roughly similar shares to the Mexican GDP and that it would be irrational for the Mexican government to change or fight this.

I agree with your take on Authoritarianism, it's not a good multi generational approach since transfer of power eventually becomes violent and incompetent dictators are normative.

Paternalistic communication isn't necessarily authoritarianism though. No info is being withheld, anyone who cares can still look it up, it's more of a marketing tactic.

Ask HN: Signal App recording screen when is in background
Has anyone observed it? After the new macos update, there is quite a visible icon when screen/sound is recorded. I had the Signal app active in the background, when I noticed that at first - it was recording my screen for a few seconds, and then recording sound (the same for a moment). I didn't catch it on screenshots (for a moment I am trying to filter system logs). So as before - has anyone also observed it?
This is for the PlayDate [1], which is a fantastic handheld gaming system.

For same reason, why e-ink not become secondary screen on mobiles - I've seen few examples, and all just not sold good enough to be considered as persistent solution.

Possible, this is because LCD/OLED screens are cheap and good enough for most cases, so too tiny market left for e-ink.

> typing doesn't really help with runtime bugs unless it's a strongly typed language

I’m skeptical of this research. Typescript prevents runtime bugs for me day in day out. It also allows me to produce much more elegant and flexible solutions which would be infeasible in plain JavaScript. When people say there is no significant benefit compared to JavaScript it almost feels like I must be on a different planet or something. I would love to see what kind of code these people are working with, or how they’re attempting to leverage the type system.
I’m always a bit turned off when I start reading their release notes and the first highlight is on accessibility improvements. They started doing that a few months ago and it’s just not exciting. I mean accessibility improvements are extremely important, but surely the most exciting changes that were worked on in this release are not « accessibility improvements in the GitHub extension »? Why is it even in the release notes of VSCode and not in the release notes of the extension?

It feels like virtue signaling to me, which is a bit cringe.
I recently sold some items on ebay. ebay will not release the funds for 3 weeks. They give no reason for this. However I think the real reason is that if you do this over a large enough user base you can use the "time-value" of money to make extra money. It's nefarious, and I too will never use ebay again.

I think you are taking it a little too seriously. Vonnegut joked around a lot. His signature was purposefully designed to look like an asshole. I wouldn’t read so much into it.
Yeah, and the stress of telling your body that it always needs to do better to survive probably makes you age faster.

There’s diminishing marginal returns from exercise. So there’s probably a sweet spot of how much you want to do it. Same with work. And for many people, same with spending time with friends and family.

There’s an implicit belief in a lot of this thread that more is better and that happiness is down the road of doing more things. That’s stupid and wrong for almost all of us. And ironically, your career, health and relationships all suffer if you push too hard and don’t let them breathe. The real joys are found sitting watching the sunset, with a good meal with the people we love. It doesn’t get better than that.
Why is it a lunacy to rent out your spare unit, but not a lunacy that an agreement between two adults somehow is going to lead to someone else using your property for free indefinitely?

The ironclad assurance is a legal system, that allows you to evict when one side breaks the agreement, which failed ridiculously in this case.
My guess is that’s how everyone works. But we’ll never really know. It’s all analogies like wine tasting notes.
There are two relevant rules:

From the FAQ: reposts are considered dupes if the story has had significant attention in the last year or so - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

From the Show HN guidelines: feature upgrades are generally not sufficient for a new Show HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Of course there's some grey area here (what counts as an incremental upgrade) but I think 6 months is too soon for this post. Sorry to disappoint, but users email us to complain about these things.

My argument was that this criticism was only being applied to LLM's and not to other humans.

It is invalid if you take what an LLM says as simply what another human (who happens to have a broad knowledge reach) would say.

As someone who lived the horrors of communism through my teen years and thus read Ayn Rand in my middle age, I find her books logical, rational and real-world validated. Attributes utterly lacking from her detractors, strangely enough.
I bought my pixel 7 early this year because my s20's screen broke and the cost to buy a new one to replace it myself, which is not something I think most people would be willing to do (instead paying even more for someone else to do it), exceeded the cost to buy another S20. On top of that, the moment my 3 year old, perfectly working phone had anything other than a pristine screen, it had zero trade-in value and basically encouraged me to throw it in a drawer or the trash. This was literally Samsung's flagship phone only 3 years prior.

That could have probably been mitigated if the s20 remained relevant for more than a year or two and there was a mature parts market that made it feasible to upkeep rather than scrap.
> lot of people I know tend to get new phones well before they actually have a need for them

It might just be your “bubble”, but even if not, is it really that bad of a deal? If you resell your previous phone at 2/3 the original price each year, you can use the latest phone for like 200 bucks for a year, or $17 monthly. For a device that is with you 0-24, and is probably the most often used item a typical person owns — they have it on them more often than even their shoes!

"be similarly silly in stating that fraud was the businessmodel for Germany"

No, I never stated that [financial] fraud was/is the business model for Germany. Especially Germany, while a hub for laundering money in other ways, is not very finance heavy. I was just pointing out that German authorities did not do their job in a nearly criminal way.
