I am disappointed that the "Irish goodbye" didn't happen at around number 82 with no items following it.
Been a long time since I used Hg, and I've mostly trained myself out of these ideas, but I'll try to recall the use cases.

1. Consider doing a bisect to find when a bug was introduced (which may now be in multiple branches) and being able to fix it immediately then merge and/or rebase over the current versions.

2. Working on a branch, you realize that you'd like to try an alternative approach to a problem. You check out a previous commit, leaving the branch in its non-working state, and try your alternative approach. If it works, you keep going on this version, otherwise you can just switch back. The temporary unnamed branch continues to exist until you choose to delete it (ideally before pushing!) . This unlocks a much lower inertia way to do small experimental work without having to formally label new branches, which carries enough weight to make me hesitate. I would do this all the time in Hg and almost never in git. In git I would probably reach for stash to achieve something similar.

If it makes you feel any better the money was never actually there in the first place.

If $11,000,000 turned into $700 then the "market cap" was bullshit and the coin was bullshit and whatever "price" it had was bullshit. Maybe you could have done a little better than you did but there wasn't any there there, in the sense that there were actually eleven million real greenback dollars in the hands of people that had any interest at all in owning that coin.

This dynamic completely underpins the entire concept of crypto, with the possible exception of a couple big ones. It's just market manipulation and people trading with each other. Turns out nobody wanted to own digital apes either it was grift all the way down.
Did you know that Apple allows sharing passkeys via Airdrop?
That's how law enforcement generally works in the US, yes. We accept the risk that some innocent people will be punished in order to enforce law, and put safeguards in place to try and prevent it. You can disagree with that of course.
Show HN: Admin AI – follow up emails, notes and CRM updates from recorded call
Hi HN! For the last 5 years I've been in sales (at mongoDB).

Spent half my week writing updates for sales-managers. My founder told me this is a lot like JIRA. Updating tickets for internal management - I hear it's painful.

Sellers call this "admin work". A lot of it is zero value (because it doesn't help us get paid), and easily takes up 5+ hours a week.

Admin AI uses the recorded calls to draft follow up emails, write call notes and CRM deal updates.

We're trained our AI to think like a seller. And also built all the integrations to make it feel magical.

Love your feedback, comments, questions. Happy to help anyone reading this figure out a bit of sales too!
They're apparently "banned" or "dangerous" at fuel filling stations. Whether that's actually true is a different matter, but all the stations I've been to have had prominent "cellphones not allowed" signs displayed.
“People have been giving human intelligence tests—IQ tests and so on—to machines since the very beginning of AI,” says Melanie Mitchell, an artificial-intelligence researcher at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. “The issue throughout has been what it means when you test a machine like this. It doesn’t mean the same thing that it means for a human.”

The last sentence above is an important point that most people don't consider.
To me that's just typical German straightfowardness. You can drive it in a downtown where pollution and noise are strictly regulated. That's not to say that emissions don't happen elsewhere - to build the truck and to charge it.
"Not forced" would mean the dialog has a "Nope", "Not" or "Nuh uh" button instead of "Not now" and permanently goes away when clicked, never to return.
Didn't they have a board or some kind of accountability from the investor side at the amount of funding? Why not?
How do you register your off-site hardware key. Did you have to go retrieve it each time you wanted to make an account?

I suppose every time one makes an account one can register the two on-site keys, and then rotate one of your on-site key to off-site and take the off-site key home with you, and then finally register it.

Maybe I should get a third key...
>The problem is it costs a lot of energy, and so it ends up 4-5 times more expensive than oil from a well.

The real problem there though of course is that oil from the a well has always been cheating by not pricing in its externalities. To get an apples-to-apples comparison with synthetic fuel, fossil fuel would also have to be made at a minimum [0] carbon net neutral too, such as by running an atmospheric scrubber and ensuring that for every ton of carbon coming out of the ground a ton was getting captured again in an equivalently long term stable way.

----

0: Fossil fuel extraction has always resulted in a ton of other externalities too, not just in terms of massive non-carbon pollution but geopolitical costs. That itself may well be a driver, if a country can switch fully to renewable/nuclear power and then run its entire economy solely off of that via grid/batteries/synthetic hydrocarbons the security implications alone are pretty massive. No more fossil fuel blackmail from hostile regimes, ever.
A fantastic question! Someone should do something about it. Maybe you can?

Yeah, practical hermeneutics involve a healthy sprinkle of our reality into those texts.

And it makes sense that modern problems aren't well treated by sutras or vedic texts. Deadlines are ever shortening, everything is vying for our attention.
A project that we're very attached to because the failure of delivering means you could get sacked (usually, our minds jump straight to the worst case: we WILL get sacked) is probably something unheard of in the times of the Buddha. But it's just hard-mode life compared to what they wrote. The patterns are the same, but you have less HP, and you're full of debuffs.
Under that lens, those texts are mostly timeless and independent of which era you read it on. If you understand that you're working on a team, that your agency is only one part of the success. There's all sort of factors that go into the success or failure of the project, and all you can do is the work you've been assigned to. That's where you can care and do the best work that you can while still being dispassionate about the project's success or failure, and thus less affected by the pressures of the deadlines, less stressed by the pressures from the higher ups, the estimates you know are completely wrong, etc.

Of course, all of this is assuming you're working on the kind of project I'm imagining, but it should apply to other things too
Fascinating the overarching motif of the purpose of treatment wasn’t care for the human but get the resource operational again.

Any plans on the roadmap for aggregation (compression) and long term retention or would you instead ship data back out to a separate tool?

I’ve enjoyed having 3-5 years of prom metrics retention to look at seasonal traffic trends but we spent a fair bit of CPU aggregating raw metrics down to the right granularity for that kind of long term retention. My feeling is that the observability world is moving towards small, localized installations with real-time data and separate systems with cheaper, slower, but long term retention. Curious how you see it as you’re building a product in the space.
Yes, but the point is that it's insane that your advice is the correct advice. There should be borderline zero "barrier to entry" for knowing what monetary burden you are about to submit to, especially considering the state you are probably in, and the time-sensitive nature of health issues.
Maybe it just needs to work in their borders
Japan had a unique response to the 1973 oil crisis. Given recent instability in Russia/Ukraine, Afghanistan after the Withdrawal, and now Israel, having a hedge against petroleum primarily sourced in the Middle East and Russia it's a smart hedge to have.
Besides, Americans have switched from wanting big extravagant American Made cars to small fuel efficient ones from Japan before

While no quotas are mentioned, it does seem like this is the tip of a very slippery slope.

This is clearly well-intentioned but at the same time feels like a bad idea.

I have a startup. The team is 2 people including myself. If I have a friend in CA offer to invest, do I have to subject myself to reporting that my cofounder is LGBTTTQQIAP+? Or that we're both left handed? Or that we're both WASP as hell? Where does it end?
1. Yes! Using resident keys, yubikeys can store a number of them. Not an infinite number. It's 25 resident keys.

2. Most services let you add more than one passkey. Using 1Password, or using iCloud Keychain or similar, you can sync passkeys between devices. Even with iCloud Keychain, if you have only one device, you're given a recovery code that can bootstrap the entire system from zero if your only device is stolen.
It seems a bit like having a human face off in a race against a car and then concluding that cars have exceeded human physical dexterity.

It's not an apples/apples comparison. The nature of the capability profile of a human vs. any known machine is radically different. Machines are intentionally designed to have extreme peaks of performance in narrow areas. Present-generation AI might be wider in its capabilities than what we've previously built, but it's still rather narrow as you quickly discover if you start trying to use it on real tasks.
So is this an argument against fairness? Are you saying that it's OK for me to discriminate against you based on your race or gender, since those are parts of who you are as a "whole person"? Or do parts of you not count as the whole person? Should I be able to discriminate against you based on any disabilities you have through no fault of your own, since those are parts of your "whole person" and can limit your job performance?

If a large pool of people like "we have a thousand employees" has a demographic balance that is wildly different from gen pop you at least need a good explanation for how it got that way. There are plenty of ways to explain it, but it's unreasonable to just assume "it's fine, I'm sure nothing bad happened" on faith.
Thank you! I'm pretty comfy spending most of my time coding the website and adding/planning new tools as well as its promotion, but I still trade occasionally and I also have some passive income selling photos on stocks (I don't upload anymore, it keeps on selling old photos).

But yes I really enjoy coding and may even take some freelance projects when the website requires less work.
Or they may have no procedure for selling one-offs to end users. It’s not uncommon.
> When has the common person alone ever had the voice to compete with large institutional voices? I think never, except today it’s actually easier for a lone person to get a huge platform without owning a newspaper.

Very good point!

> Suppose we pass laws allowing the executive branch to limit speech that’s against national security.

But I don't think this necessarily follows. In the US, government is always the default bogeyman for "authoritarian overreach", but that is so rarely true anymore. I can't remember the last time the executive branch (or any branch) tried to oppress me or take away my sacredly-held freedoms. It's almost always a big corporation or rich man or another: Meta/Twitter/Musk/etc, or a healthcare company, or some TV personality, or some healthcare/gun/religious fanatic lobby.

Why does "we as a society should decide how and when to regulate speech" necessarily lead to "the opposing party's president is going to censor me"? If anything this is just a call for more direct democracy instead of two-party elitism, no? It's not so much a battlecry against government, but of the co-optation of government by the elites -- which are almost always tied to wealth. What really protects the common person is other common people, who only have power in more democratic traditions, not by weakening democratic governments in favor of uber-rich libertarians and corrupt crony capitalism.
doing this on an annual basis is such an obviously inefficient system (on both sides) that you'd think somebody would've developed a basic mathematical approach by now to disrupt the market.

but of course in practice, most US healthcare consumers don't really have an actual choice about who they buy their healthcare from.
Let's not forget that in the original book he was driving a Blower Bentley, probably the most masculine car ever built. It's all downhill from there!
Ouch. I do hope you don‘t miss the millions. Still: 700 bucks could feed some people on this planet for at least one year, if not even two.

And another upside: the valuable lessons you learned are probably worth… well… millions of dollars!

Back to topic: How did the crash lead to losing the money technically? What happened here? How did too many requests of selling lead to „devaluation“?

You should definitely write a longer form story about this and include some code.
I would encourage you to educate yourself more on this.

The crossover point is 1.5 years for EVs to be net better than ICE cars, for one thing.

Also electric motor drivetrains make much more efficient use of energy, so even when powered by coal-generated electricity, EVs still win. Meantime power sources are getting more clean over time.
I came at it from a different angle. The simulation code in my case had a bug which I needed to point out. Then it got a similar final answer.
I think it's a closed system, fuel cell, no?
> people want to be back in their own homes

Seriously why are "bad food" and "noisy nurses" not on the list of reasons? People want to eat and sleep and if they feel like their acute medical problem is manageable I can see why they'd want to leave.

Amusing little anecdote: The company used to be called Daimler, with Mercedes-Benz being a brand. As part of the split, the cars & vans unit renamed itself to Mercedes-Benz. Employees got little "Founding Member" stickers for their badges as a result - for a 100+ years old company :-)
No. Neither.

5 sides, they forgot the base.
But nobody drives their Ford F-250 10,000 miles a week. It's not about the energy efficiency of someone's mode of transport, it's about the total emissions from their transit habits. You know, the actually important metric when measuring an individual's impact on the climate.
Agreed. I think there is a FOMO phenomena among C-level execs, that is generating a gigantic waste os money and time, creating distractions around “AI strategy”.

It started a few years back and it is now really inflamed with LLM, because of the consumer level hype and general media reporting about it.

You can perceive that by the multiple AI startups capturing millions in VC capital for absolutely bogus value proposition. Bizarre!
I don't have the data for the average age, but I was recently in a conversation around how long does it take to become a committer since getting involved in Postgres by writing code for it.

So, I wrote a couple git commands like below [1] to figure out when someone was first named in a commit message vs when they made their first commit (as a committer) for the last 10 people who became committers.

The average time of involvement was ~8.9 years (just comparing month / year), with the lowest being ~6.5 years.

Obviously one could do better analysis but my goal was just to get an approximate understanding.

> Run away screaming. Don’t believe the hype. Wait until the vendors get their act together and come up with a solution for transfer and recovery.

I believe all of the issues you've described, but you can usually add multiple passkeys to each service. There is nothing stopping you from adding your iPhone and a cheap android phone and having redundancy, or using 1Password and storing your passkey in there.

iPhone backups do store backups of the media stored in iCloud Keychain, if you have another apple device or if you have the recovery key, you can get back in. You just need the device passcode or recovery key and you can re-bootstrap everything. eSIMs are unique because they're carrier things and those things have and always will be a pain and tied to stores and phone calls.

Wonder how to they handle branding issues, though? For example infringement? They can’t possibly have all entities go after the offenders, they must coordinate that somehow? Not to mention logo or other branding changes.
I am just using the OpenAI API directly, and build my own libraries on top of that.

Human review can work great depending on how you embed it into your workflow, and how qualified the user is to make a judgement. But yes, the goal is to reduce human review to the specification level.
> it's easy to understand why it died out

I think it's probably more sociological than technical. People love to see themselves and their friends/family. My work has screens that show photos of events and it always causes a bit of a stir ("Did you see X's photo from the summer picnic?") Yearbooks are perennially popular and there's a whole slew of social media.

However, for this to be "fun", there must be a decent chance that most people in the audience know a few people in a few of the pictures. I can't imagine this working well in a big city, for example, or a rural theatre that draws from a huge area.
Night sky is no longer wild but cultivated, and it'll only get more so. Someday we may get to see little fireballs from space wars. I hope I don't live long enough to see the art installations and billboards.

That's how open standards work. Create a common ground so every tool built on top of it can be integrated. So Lit integrates with other web components frameworks. Imagine if React, Vue and Angular could be integrated? That's the change that Web Components brings. And currently Lit is a great choice to create components that can be integrated with those frameworks.
> if it was taxed to correctly account for its externalities?

I think you kind of identified the issue there, though. Externalities are notoriously difficult to tax and account for. The issue with EVs is that they are intrinsically better than hydrogen in nearly every way. Even issues with long distance driving and recharging are quickly improving with EVs, and the improvements are happening much faster than anything going on with hydrogen.
I dont think reputable alt-coins with liquidity could turn into 11mil->700$ in an hour, so i consider it pretty safe to assume that 11 million wasnt actually 11 million: it doesnt matter if nobody wants it. Nevertheless, great work on processing such emotional burden.

Your argument is textbook anti-EV propaganda that has been debunked for over a decade now.

Ask anyone that owns an EV how many times a month they go to a super charger. The answer is probably zero because unless they went on a road trip, they are definitely charging at home. You don't even need to install a 240V charger. For most people's commute a 120V charger (which can charge at ~1.4 kw) can recharge about 40 miles over night which is equivalent to the average American's commute.

It's still not ideal for apartment dwellers yet, but they don't need a super charger in their complex. They just need a standard power outlet accessible from their parking space.

I know managing the grid is probably really hard. But if we can power every home in America in less than a century, I'm pretty sure we can figure out how to add standard power outlets to parking garages without crashing the economy.

EV's are in fact a solution to the sporadic nature of renewables since they can charge anytime the car is sitting still such as for the 8 hours of sunshine that people spend in office buildings every day.
You use different numbers, for example 3/5 or 2/3.

You have to have at least 3 peers, though (IIRC, 2/3 is the minimum split possible that would provide fault tolerance).

I'll assume you're not arguing against letting women be nurses/teachers, and are instead arguing that we need more male nurses and teachers.

In which case, yeah? Gender bias in medicine has proven negative effects both for patients and physicians. If we do everything right to knock down barriers, we should eventually see more male nurses and more male teachers. Why shouldn't we? What's wrong with a man being a nurse?

I experienced this with skiing, where [1] you need to look down the hill and lean forward amongst other things for best results, things your fear reflexes want to avoid at all costs at first.

But with the parkour on top of city buildings that is more extreme than what they portray on rooftop chases in a Bourne Identity movie... hmm... I think that is another level. There is a good chance you will die if you do that alot over 10 years. It probably requires some letting go of ego to the point where you are happy to die early. Like the free and solo climbers.

[1] Forgive me if you are a great skiier this is my dumb interpretation!

There wasn't enough silicon wafer manufacturing infrastructure in 2005 to meet global silicon wafer demand in 2023 either, yet somehow humans magically got together, invested money, built plants, and wow, a decade and a half later there is silicon wafer manufacturing infrastructure to meet global demand.

Imagine not understanding the ability for humans to build things. Pretty sure the comment i'm responding to is a gas industry shill.
Absolutely. It’s a toxic, nihilist mentality that leaks into tools that greatly influence how we think.

Bad programmers are an organizational failure. You cannot fix that with tools.

You can make it easier for devs to fall into a pit of success, however. But, it’s fine line between facilitating that versus foisting things on users under the guise of being “opinionated.” The reality is it is often taken to be patronizing, such as views of nextauth on storing local usernames and passwords.
