Let's get you some traction/feedback before your YC application deadline
YC Deadline is October 13th - 2 days from now.

Most of us who submits to YC will not get selected and will not receive any feedback.

Let's use this discussion to get some real traction and feedback.

Post your startup and pitch in YC format (make something people want):

- What are you building?

- What problem does it solve?

- Whom does it benefit?

- What traction do you have so far?

- Is it live for people to try and provide feedback? (link to your product)
Even for leaner websites, HTTP/2 was always going to be an improvement, for HTTP head-of-line blocking and better header compression, if nothing else. These are orthogonal issues for the most part.

Also, they tried prioritization, but it was too unwieldy in practice, the browser vendors didn't agree, and it was deprecated in the latest RFC 9113.
> Integer promotion will probably never be removed from the fundamental types

Oh let me assure you, I have no actual expectation that C would ever change in such a way.

Although it should be noted that both suggestions are entirely syntactic and could be gated behind a per-file (or even per function) stricture a la strict mode.
Isn't the common practice to just replace the personal data in the db with garbage and otherwise leave the records in place - i.e. to prevent accidental reuse of the ids which could have unforseen consequences?

If their user now brings up "deleted user 12345", you've done your job and deleted the data they cared about.
weird how it's almost entirely student groups of black and brown people.
GPT-4 is 100% AGI.
It is when a 1500MW nuclear power plant built in area A is essentially useless for anyone in area B.

Yes, you can transform from 50Hz to 60Hz, but the capacity is limited and can't be grown infinitely.
The Seattle fault is a significantly bigger threat to Seattle than the Cascadia Subduction Zone and it doesn’t get nearly as much attention. Parts of the city’s shorelines could subside up to 10-20 feet, and the tsunamis are substantial.
The film "War of the Worlds(2005)" has effects going down to 20 Hz; to play it you will need an ATMOS AV receiver that has an LFE port to feed the signal to an amp that has LFE input.
Not all amps which have an LFE input can cleanly output 20 Hz, let alone anything lower, so you would need to check the specs.

I wouldn't be surprised to discover that the original "Iron Man" movie reproduced effects at that level, but I know the "War of the Worlds" film does.
Nice, Apache 2.0 license. Thank you, Replit!

The E-ink patent holder is one of the most egregious cases of patent trolls. They won't lower the prices.
I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but capture on my Nikon D7100 always felt more “manipulable” than capture on an iPhone or the like, I suspected as a downstream effect of using RAW format with a larger image sensor. Interpreting log through this understanding, it felt pretty intuitive reading through this post. I don’t know if it’s accurate, but it feels accurate…

I’m gonna guess that 99% of the time a company gets hacked because the CFO gets caught downloading porn from a sketchy website on his Windows machine. Not because of some nerds running linux.

I can say that these machines get so much use in pediatric oncology wards (personal experience). It's an excellent way to let the kids get their minds off the chemo.
That's a really neat product. Starred it.
You can obviously provide the same abstraction with different implementations that yield different performance characteristics. Julia provides the same level of flexibility (if not more) as Python without any of the design decisions which cause Python to be so slow. I fail to see how this is a contentious point.
It can yes, but the efficiency is laughable. It's only viable when you've got essentially free renewables AND you've filled every battery you can.
okay, then could you answer your own question instead of nitpicking my lack of saccharine qualities? i am simultaneously curious and frustrated by the entitlement people express in these situations.
> CSS makes the common things that nearly everyone wants to do unnecessarily hard.

I'd like a list of those, along with a solution for each item in that list.[1]

A CSS cheat-sheet, if you will.

[1] I remember it common things being unnecessarily arcane, but since flexbox and grid, I can't think of any problems I might have. Although, take my words with a barrel of salt, because I am in no way an experienced CSS user.
My corporate IT doesn't let us use ad blockers, password managers, incognito windows, or GPG. It's rules like that, which motivate me to carve my own path to actual security.

I've seen security breaches happen, and it's not the self-motivated users who cause them. It's the casual users who leave their computer unlocked, or go on social media with the same one browser they're using for work, or who click links in email without checking the source.
Try performing better than anyone else in your team for a week or two. Notice how nobody cares about your amazing performance, go back to your usual performance level. Anxiety should be gone at this point.
for someone new and mostly work in web/mobile dev, will you recommend SBCL or clojure/clojurescript?
CUFI's website says it has ten million members. I can't find any mention of hastening the second coming - do you have a reference for that?
Simple reasons would include weight and volume.

A laptop takes physical space that I am paying for, not the company, unless the company is paying some slim percentage of my rent.

Why does the company feel entitled to have me store its stuff? Theres a policy that you can't leave the laptop at the office.
Oh we’ll make this more clear, actually only Linux 5.4 is required, Kubernetes is only to add more metadata. It still works just fine and we have customers running it outside of Kubernetes provisioned by ansible.
When I wanted to get my teeth straightened the first doctor suggested pulling two teeth to make room. I walked out quickly. The second doctor confirmed the suspicion that this would have been completely unnecessary.
TBF&H, when you say additional data formats such as dates, dates (including time) are the one format that would be great to have standardized in JSON, due to their inherent complexity. A format for binary data is also missing, but that is downright trivial to do ad-hoc (string literals + encoding hint) when compared to datetimes.
I'm also a long-time fan of Tom7 - I got into him after seeing the video about his reverse-emulation work to get Doom working on a NES - what I like about it is how subtle it is: using the same technique you could play Halo or GTA 5 on a NES, but by using a game that's almost contemporary with the NES it has some kind of je ne sais quoi aspect to it that I appreciate, even if I can't describe it.

----

All of his videos are about very distinct projects - not only demonstrating his high level of skill in those areas, but that he's very imaginative and creative. When I introspect myself I can tell that as I've gained technical skills that enable me to (say) recreate his work, I've simultaneously lost most of my imagination and huge chunks of my creativity as I've gotten older: I can certainly try my own hand (working from scratch, without using his work even as a reference) at a robust NES-to-3D render system, but I guarantee that the idea never would have come to me. My question is, how does he do that?

I'm hoping I'm not the only one experiencing this kind of creativity-deficit-disorder?
Does this also disable the excessive sharpening of iPhone's video processing?

Even 'ProRAW' photos are sharpened and aggressively denoised, which ruins detail.

But the css default is that a container expand to contain the content without overflow or cropping.

An effect like in the logo only happens if you set an explicit width which is less than the longest word.
Redux vs. Context: Performance vs. Simplicity in React State Management
I think perhaps you misunderstand: because each theory has zero evidence, each has zero truth to it (however you want to word "truth", maybe pick from the above list).

Because they both have zero truth, they are equally untrue, meaning an equal amount of untrue: zero in both cases.

Turns out there's no contradiction, and no truth to either!

Sweet! If you are prepared to spend more for more GPU compute power from Jetson SBCs you could use larger models. I’m busy adding the

It’s almost there but still have to finish the install scripts for the Orin series.

The deep fauna model can be used for all of France’s fauna which includes foxes and badgers (and wolves, bears, lynxes and more of course).
Credit card debt is something people choose to put themselves into. You can't go into debt without signing on the dotted line to be responsible for that debt and agreeing to pay it back.

Congress and the POTUS together are the ones that sign on the dotted line when the House and Senate jointly pass a budget (or a continuing resolution) authorizing the spending and the POTUS then signs it into law. So yes, they are responsible for authorizing the spending in the first place. Conversely, they are not responsible for the debt that individuals—even US Citizens, we are citizens and not subjects nor serfs after all and therefore are beholden only to ourselves—place themselves into.

It is not the same complexity, because syntax checking stops immediately at an error.

To determine if implicit dereferencing may be applied, more analysis has to be done, because there it may be not only a pointer to a structure, but a pointer to a pointer to a structure and so on, so multiple implicit dereferencing may be needed to obtain a valid expression.

However I agree that the difference in complexity is not big.
A smart hammer that sometimes unavoidably hits your thumb. How smart!
I think it would be less surprising if you had to opt-into text overflowing the border-box: the current behavior is like the behavior of floats, which always ended up being something you spent a lot of time working around.
I'm wondering the same thing: in what way is the provider of a service legally obligated to tell everyone about it? As long as they provide the actual service without bias to all who inquire, shouldn't it be up to them to decide how (and to whom) to advertise?
Sure, but it's weak AGI for now. Obviously strong AGI is on the way, thanks to LLMs.
In my case executives were more focussed on how it could be built into new projects, presales etc rather than internal efficiency improvements. A lot of people were amazed to see someone getting value out of it (efficiency gains) without building stuff around it. Blew my mind that this was the case.
You raise a great point. But honestly: if you got a DUI in your youth you deserve to answer for it. It might or might not keep you from getting a job 10 years later, but you put people's lives in danger. If it does affect you: too bad. Drunk driving has always been a life sentence for its victims.

I would find your argument more compelling with a different example like shoplifting or vandalism: still deeply anti social, but not killing innocent people who are just going about their business.
I’d argue against having no control of how others react/percieve you.

Perform well - others will most likely think highly of you.

Perform poorly - you’re getting fired.

Stoicism should be taken with a grain of salt.
Wow, that is not what this is even this ruling is saying.

Literally the only thing being said here is "this lawsuit is not obviously frivolous", and presenting it as such is piss poor reporting that Ars should be embarrassed to presumably be paid to publish.

The degree of hyperbole in this is in line with the mass media astroturfing McDonald's and similar engaged in for the "hot coffee" and similar lawsuits.

That it is starting this early - at the point where a court has only said that dismissing this lawsuit without a trial was a faulty judgement - just reeks of that kind of BS.
Good start but mh and bh can also be W, dh and gh can also be Y or silent.

I'd add: ph = F, sh = H, th = H or silent.
Small scale plants are the key when the grid is either unreliable or insufficient.

It's not much of an issue to have, say, a 1000kWh battery with some small/medium scale solar or wind power feeding it. Or even the grid if there's extra.

Then everyone around that battery uses it primarily for their energy needs and only when it runs out they tap into the larger grid.

The only thing solar panels on cars are good for is keeping the AC running in the summer so the car (and battery) are cool at all times.
Almost all the benefits mentioned in the video are (a) lack of post-processing and (b) high dynamic range. Is that what "log" means in videography?
James Bond was the hero England needed at the time in response to the general dreariness and deprivation most English people were feeling in the post-war years. James Bond is this "omnicompetent" character, he always knows what to do, what to say, how to act in any given situation. He also experiences exotic locales with fine food and drinks. In some ways he represents a return to the "old days" of the British Empire when the UK and England was more relevant and also he represents (especially) masculine wish-fulfilment.

But yes, I can see how to modern audiences it's not so exciting and seems stale. But at the time, it was "hot" because Fleming created so many of the tropes that now we see as tired or dated.

I dunno about that. Sure, if you're used to Qt or WxWidgets or similar, then CSS+HTML looks absolutely great as a design tool

But if you're using Lazarus in 2023, then CSS+HTML looks absolutely primitive as a design tool.

Elon open sourced the algorithm.
Yeah that’s basically how this system is built as well. We buffer a certain amount of data in the ingestion nodes and then offload it to object storage. In object storage it’s actually laid out in the parquet format so we could allow users to export/download this. Or like I said, the object storage cost is really the smallest piece in the system we might even just decide not to have any retention at all.
One reason is also that phone cameras have many limitations, so to get good images they have to "cheat" to work around those limitations. Additionally they often apply filters to the images so it looks good "out of the box", like contrast, smoothing, sharpening. Those choices done for you mean you lose information to do better yourself.
You mean apple should only use x86 cpus still? or it should only use Nvidia or AMD gpus? Or maybe it should implement Direct3D? (oh wait, they've done that)

How do you propose rolling back a kubernetes upgrade that users might depend on
Sure! I'm someone who tries to stay ahead of the curve in terms of personal security. And when my IT teams make rules that inhibit users' security (I just went into detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37841214 ), I feel responsible to take matters into my own hands.
Had to get a home PV system out of necessity due to our national power company being up a shitcreek with an aging fleet of badly maintained coal power plants.

3.7 Kw solar panels and 2 x 5KW LifePO batteries and a 5Kw SunSynk inverter tied to the grid - solar geyser and it does not power our electric oven - the only issue is the management system is dumb as bricks - there is no intelligence and difference charge settings or profiles for our cold winters and hot summers or using the weather forecast for the day.

It just averages out.

I'm happy to answer. Its word of mouth and referrals.
I don't think the APIs I was using still exist (this was ~3-4 years ago), so I suspect that it just won't work any more.
So all this data here is actually about you, huh? Well, thanks for the confirmation!
Don't work for small businesses or startups unless you're a cofounder or early in your career
>Also what's the point of the question. GPT has been specifically trained to not answer this. But in any case here is the answer with instruct model which generally is more open ended:

It would demonstrate basic reasoning skills that weren't things one would "reproduce, mix and match text from an enormous corpus". Like the response you provided, which is meaningless word salad. It's a prima facie takedown of your post.

This is like people who hate poetry, insisting their bad poetry is good poetry. Why? Because who else is to say otherwise! Well, the good poets. The people that appreciate poetry will know the difference. Everyone else wont care, save for those invested in having to sell their bad poetry as good.
And if we are talking late 1800's/early 1900's, Taxes were essentially non-existent, so people kept and spent more of their money. Taxes as a % of GDP was in the 5-10% range, opposed to ~40% today.

They also didn't have to worry about the same healthcare costs, as they were healthier in general, and the options were far fewer when sick.
At least with enterprise IT, or a bank etc you can pester them until they let you back in. They’ll have to sort it out eventually. That’s not going to work with Google or most web services.

Any web service that locks accounts to devices is going to be shedding customers as they lose or replace phones.
can a sane person explain to me how, "roof knock" to inform the civilians to leave a building before the inevitable explosives destroy the building are supposed to do anything other than collective punishment to the residents of that building?

If you have actual intel of your opponent in a building, you take that out and collateral damage of human and infra comes with it but when you "warn" the people that a strike is incoming, what's the point?
I really loved this talk and feel for Evan. As someone who was a VC/Angel investor in the space (I was the initial angel investor for something called LightTable/Eve) back in the day, worked for a couple of years at Red Hat, and am working on my own Open Source Language here: https://github.com/yazz/yazz (so yes, you could say I am a VC trying to build a low code product with my own hands), so I hope that I have valid opinions on this. I think that it is possible to make money in opensource as a little guy, but you need to have a combination of consulting, hosting, and support services. If your product is not able to encapsulate being sold and packaged as something that is possible to demo and sell to customers then you will most likely struggle to make a living from it. So for example, just making a single component (that could be built inhouse), or a new language (that could be substituted for another language) will be very hard to sell
Not being able to regain access in exceptional cases is one of the big reasons why I am very weary about being forced to activate 2FA and other auth. It is so nice in theory... But the reality is that many users only use their phone to do almost everything digital in their life. My gf works for an assitive technology reseller. Since 2FA has been forced down the throats of unsuspecting users, she had to support several of their customers in regaining access to their Apple ID, noticing a few glitches in the supposed apple support path while at it. Phone hardware changes every few years. email addresses can change. And phone numbers can change. Combine all of them, and 2FA is suddenly no longer such a good idea... For reasonably sized companies, 2FA might be a good solution, because in case of you loosing access in some way, there is likely a support path that gets you back on track in reasonable amount of time, given that IRL auth is relatively simple. But for services where you are just a number, like every big provider, I believe a reasonably strong "master" password is still comforting to have.
if there is no harm to the employer then what exactly is the problem? the complete Mac bootchain with all its security stays intact, Asahi is entirely separate and OP is not using it for work. at that point there is no risk to the company, its just economical use of a computer.
It might be beneficial for you to officially disclose your side hustle to your employer. This way you can draw the line where your intellectual property and time separate from the company’s property and time.

Consider this. You don’t post on LI. Your side hustle ends up being a success. You leave your company. There is a non-zero chance that your company will notice then, and possibly have suspicions about whose time you used to develop this successful venture.

It’s one of those situations where it is a bit uncomfortable to disclose now, but could avert a much more uncomfortable situation in the future.

Once it is disclosed, post freely.
OK, that's what I had thought you meant! But that position isn't found anywhere in the Wikipedia article.

Also, what if two contradictory propositions each have zero evidence, are they then both untrue?

this sounds like personal use, though. I do appreciate your perspective, and am sorry that your IT dept has no sense of security. Disallowing password managers and ad blockers honestly sounds like a good sign to gtfo and find a more competent org, or dig in and drive some serious change from the inside.
