Hi everyone,

As you may know in DimensionLab we are working on Siml.ai, AI-driven physics simulations that is web-based and interactive (with "in-situ" visualization). We are now about to launch beta so I wanted to share these news with you.

I’ll introduce you some updates that might interest you:

Model Engineer Updates:

- New Visual Editor Design: Experience a sleek and intuitive new design for nodes in the visual editor, making your workflow more efficient and user-friendly.

- Effortless Node Copying: We've simplified the process of copying nodes, which accelerates the simulation setup process, enabling users to replicate nodes with just a few clicks, saving time and effort.

- Variable Parameterization: https://siml.ai introduces the much-anticipated feature of parameterizing inputs into the simulator’s neural network (defined in neural network node settings and usable in constraint node settings) and variables in equations.

Simulation Studio Enhancements:

- Parameterized Inference: With the recent introduction of the ability to train simulators using parameterized inputs, you can seamlessly harness their power within Simulation Studio. This exciting addition empowers users to swiftly perform high-fidelity multiphysics simulations for varying conditions, unlocking new frontiers in numerical simulation possibilities.

Other cool updates:

- Fine-tuning simulator models: Siml.ai now empowers users with the option to fine-tune publicly available or their own simulator models. This feature ensures that you can tailor simulators to your specific needs, achieving results that are more aligned with your objectives.

- Academic licenses: In our pursuit to foster learning and innovation, w We are excited to start offering academic licenses. Institutions and academicians can reach out to us for requests at hello@dimensionlab.org.

- Documentation:
To assist our users in making the most of these exciting new features, we have updated our documentation which can be accessed at https://docs.siml.ai. Here you will find comprehensive information on the latest features and how to use them effectively to maximize the potential of your simulations.

This is not everything that comes with in the beta release, if you are interested visit https://siml.ai to learn more or join our https://discord.gg/UxQyC9PEqt. In fact we’re giving out 1 month for free additionally to our 14-day free trial when you go through our Early Adopters Survey https://dmloc3fzh7g.typeform.com/to/LjYAfoxp so you can try it all yourself.

As well NVIDIA just released a blogpost showcasing not just upcoming features, so you can read about siml.ai there

Coppicing is used a lot in my neighbourhood (and in the Netherlands as a whole) on willows close to water banks; I don't know if the wood is used for anything, but the trees have deep and sturdy roots that stabilize the soil, without the tree growing to a size where it might fall over in a storm or drop a lot of materials in the water.

threads has had a webapp with pretty much feature parity to the mobile app for about a month now.

I think the "puzzle" is just translating from your current mental model into one that fits the language. That's why the author sees roughly Algol-like languages as non-puzzle languages, and all other styles are puzzle languages to them. People with different experiences probably think differently.

> powerful AI

AI is not powerful. AI doesn't increase information complexity or create new information. It actually does the opposite - it averages out the complexity peaks.

In effect, AI isn't intelligence, it dumbs everything down and reduces information to a common-denominator baseline.

(In the future the real difference between the "haves" and the "have nots" will be those who can understand and deal with information complexity and those who can't. Creating information complexity is the only thing humans are naturally good at, it's our biological imperative.)

You got it right at the end: "This is a place with no culture. We are literally not a team." But this is not a remote/local issue. This is bad team organisation with crappy leadership. They could fail in the same way locally and it could work so much better remotely.

It's on your manager to fix it if your team can't communicate effectively or at all. You're letting them off the hook by thinking moving where you work would magically make things better without culture changes.

Given that Threads seems to suppress posts linking to other websites, and the audience there isn't particularly interested in news, I'm not surprised the BBC has given up on it. The fact the algorithm recommends you everything but what you're interested in and engagement is questionable even for larger accounts is just the icing on the cake.

But I'm honestly not sure any of these alternative platforms is going to replace Twitter for news anytime soon. BlueSky feels a lot like Threads activity wise; decent to mediocre engagement for popular accounts and barely any for regular folks/new users, and Mastodon has high engagement, but a far more technical, niche audience.

And neither really care much more about news than Threads does. Probably because of all the toxicity that news posts tend to bring over on Twitter/X, and these services acting as an escape from that...

Fractional Chief of Staff: Strategic Leadership Without a Full-Time Commitment
I'm excited to share a model that's been transformative for startups and established businesses alike: The Fractional Chief of Staff (CoS).

Navigating through the operational and strategic challenges, especially for startups and busy executives, often demands more than what a full-time hire entails both in terms of cost and commitment. That’s where a Fractional CoS comes in.

The Problem:

Founders and CEOs are swamped, working IN the business instead of ON it.

Hiring a full-time CoS is a significant investment and commitment.

The Solution:

My Fractional CoS model provides the strategic leadership, operational oversight, and project management you need, without the hefty price tag or long-term commitment.

It's all about providing high-level, C-suite expertise on a part-time basis, ensuring your company can scale effectively and sustainably.

Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or queries about integrating a CoS into your operations.

That's because the culture that existed was erased by the colonizers. The fact you consider America and its culture is only 250 years old is a great example of that.

Native american culture goes back thousands of years, and it would be commendable to develop an interest in it as a lot of people do with the Japanese.
> However I'd suggest at least specifying a default value so developers don't need to mess with version-controlled .env

That's a good point. Most of my projects tend to ship an `example.env` which documents each env var and introduces a sane default.

When introducing the principle to projects some times a dev will complain about config drift and the like but experience in practice shows that these files tend to change a bit when introduced and then rarely at all so it really is not that much of a deal.

It's an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Just interpret the IPv4 address like it's the last 32 bits of the v6 address.

In the example, 64:ff9b::103:307 is equivalent. A more complicated example might be akin to 64:ff9b::198.51.100.231, equivalent to 64:ff9b::c633:64e7.

Those all work for me, on my v6-only desktop. (I don't use Discord, but their homepage loads at least.)

None of those sites have v6 though, so you'll need some form of backwards compatibility running to reach them. Presumably you were missing that.

The competitive disadvantage RTO companies have is trying to hire locally.

We have the pick of the best engineers from around the country (in some cases, world) because we pay bay area (startup adjusted) salaries regardless of where you live. The team is top notch - probably the best I’ve ever worked with.

So yeah - a cost to maintaining comms culture, but the payoff can be pretty nonlinear.
> It doesn't need electricity, a network of cables, satellites and routers.

But most businesses do. The main issue is there: why should a business be forced by law to accept cash if they absolutely need electricty and cables to work as a business ?

It's one step below forcing them to accept hand written checks. Those are also extremely resilient, you just need a pen and paper. But god no I wouldn't want to deal with them at a car rental desk.

Sure cash should be accepted in shops selling essential goods. But other shops should have the choice.

this may be a difference in definition of worth that we have.

You seem to equate "worth" with "market price"/"business value".

I equate "worth" with "how much money they make the business".

So in my defintion/worldview, an programmer in India that increases the click through rate on $AD_TECH_GIANT's ads by 1%, raising the ARR from $1 billion to $1 billion, $10 million dollars is worth $10 million, and a programmer in San Fransisco who accomplishes the same is worth the same.

In your worldview, how much value they bring to the organisation is irrelevant, and they are worth what the market pays them... which honestly doesn't strike me as a particularly useful mental model if you're trying to get rich, but if it works for you, keep using it.

To quote Warren Buffet:
"price is what you pay, value is what you get."

I try to find things with a good value/price ratio. Using your model, the value of a thing is it's price, so... not really sure how you can make purchase decisions thinking like that, honestly.

It's an echo chamber. People do not hurt each other in an echo chamber, they suppress dissenting voices. Reddit is the best tool ever developed to kill discussions and make people selfish dbags.

When someone asks about something people do not even upvote, thank or write a comment thanking the participating people. The single most important counter is missing: the reciprocal counter. If you post a question and do not participate, just read the answers, then you should pay the price and this must be shown. Also, bots are not filtered at all...

It's a cesspool. The sooner this mudpit gets drained, the better.

> What captures the consciousness now isn't necessarily a consensus of an economies major investors,...

If that is true, then there is your problem right there. A firm and stable democracy requires a large group of people with good education, political influence and capital. In other words, bourgeoisie.

The 'major investors' should be this bourgeoisie. They should be with many, to ensure political discussion is actively supported throughout all layers of society. If this group shrinks, and there are fewer people with larger capital and influence, there is no incentive for political discussion, and thus no incentive for a healthy democracy.

The major investors do not want the discussion, as they can easily discuss with the few of them. The proletariat do not want the discussion, cause they either do not have the education, or do not have the capital to organize it.

Then the media is more and more reduced to propaganda and perception management from the 'major investors'.

Democracy is not merely the freedom to vote. It is the open discussion in which everyone can participate and contribute with their knowledge and perspectives.
Right, a part of the film's design was "It should curve enough to look cool".

At first I found myself questioning the speed of the rotation, it seemed faster than claimed - 1rpm is not a lot?

Then I did the math: A quarter turn is a right angle, floor becomes wall. A quarter minute is every 15 seconds. That's about what's happening in the video. And it's quite disconcerting to watch continuously. I would not want to see faster rotation.

So the video is chosen for speed of motion and size of ring, and how they look. 1 G would either be faster motion or less curve, and it seems that the author didn't want those, for valid aesthetic reasons.

Well-said? He approached a sensitive topic by prefacing it with horse shit about how all "free[-]speech absolutists" in cyberspace are not victims of hate speech, therefore they go out of their way "to defend hate speech". This is false, and anyone who does this and claims to be such an absolutist, is lying to themselves and to everyone else around them, because they do not understand what free speech even entails.

I'm targeted (either personally or blanketed) by all manners of what most people would call bigotry and hate speech, and I still defend the position that such speech should be considered protected under free-speech doctrine, because for one, it gives me a clear indicator of what those people really think about me, rather than anyone having to beat around the bush and hope that I understand that they're a transphobe or whatever. And for another, it empowers me with the exact same language I can use to defend myself. On top of that, this kind of shit enters dangerous territory when it comes to the rights of parody authors or, say, black comedy. Fuck that.

Calls to action (the "shouting fire" or, more relevant here, calls for genocide or other hate crimes) are not protected under free speech. Devault is kidding himself by misinterpreting or simply not bothering to understand a definition that has been solidified by many a historical philosopher. They all came back with the same conclusion, and somehow that's lost on the masses today.

I admit to not having read the full article because I already have an idea of what the rest of it is about (after hearing what Devault dealt with early this year, from his own talk with me) and I don't feel comfortable endorsing this post at all when the entire first page is blasphemous.
cashless has a lot of negative externalities hence a business should have a _very good_ reason to not accept the legal tender.
This is actually a very good workaround/transition mechanism, because it lets you go fully IPv6 native, keeping the translation layer for things that absolutely must use IPv4.

And after transition is done, in theory, all you’d do would be turn off the translation box. In practice you’ll have to keep it up until the end of days, but that’s a separate matter.
This comes up quite a bit for me. Army people frequently wonder what it’s like to be a software developer. It used to be:

I drive an hour to an office so that I can spend half the day on phone conferences where people just like to hear the sound of their own voice. Nothing is accomplished, so sometimes I just take a nap until the call is complete.

Half the rest of the time is spent with inexperienced developers convincing themselves about how awesome they are as they dick around blindly in some stupid bloated framework. It’s just an excuse for people who never should be there in the first place to feel empowered when all they accomplish is putting text on screen.

When I want to actually program and actually accomplish something productive I either write personal software or I contribute to open source projects online. Sometimes I just take long walks outside. Then I spend an hour or more driving home.

When I am at work I have to keep my experience and opinions to myself and just not say anything. Even discussing technical opinions on HN is enough cause to be trolled. Many software developers are fragile. Many have convinced themselves they are super awesome and the worst thing you can do is shatter the illusion with any kind of actual self improvement. If I want to mentor people or just generally talk about programming I have to wait until I am at home and go online to something like IRC.

Now I am unemployed after being laid off. I absolutely love being unemployed but nobody outside of my line of work understands this. I am under tremendous social pressure to get a job. I would rather just go become a police officer for a third of the pay. I just landed a job with a large rocket company and it makes me super depressed. I really don’t want to go back to work.
