Show HN: Digital to Physical Zero waste fashion brand
We are House of Supr. Our brand promotes zero waste by doing two things well.

1. make our designs in digital format. Save creating hundreds of useless samples.

2. Make only made to measure Orders. No stock piling , zero returns.

Most of the products are AI generated images that can be made into physical garments

Where we are stuck is marketing. Feel some resistance , people like what we doing but hesitate to place orders.
Welcome any suggestions or advice
Your opinion is common in language learning it seems, as most people praise a perfect accent but some get very offended by it.

I couldn't tell you why, maybe it's a feeling of lack of authenticity?

I find it impressive when someone has acquired a good accent personally since it's quite difficult to do.
Prion diseases https://www.cdc.gov/prions/index.html lurk within brains and nerve stems, with cows it became a big thing when the industry started making mega tonnes of offal waste mixed with grain feed pellets .. so all cows were being feed ground up other cows including brains.

Like most other diseases species -> same species is an easier vector than species -> different species.

Haha there's one about a "genius programmer", maybe not a terrible idea for listening practice.
Its ok to admit you cant truly grasp something, in fact its a mark of wisdom. The collective output and understanding of the world's scientists is equivalent to that of a superintelligence, you alone will never come close.

I have an uncle who knows a lot more facts about climate change than I do, and uses them to great effect in arguing that its not real.

My uncle is also an idiot.

> You know what would be fun? If we could see where all of our ancestors were from

That is the part I could never understand. Maybe I have jumped to too many conclusions in my past.

So, you send your DNA and your results say you are 25% Irish or whatever broad "Northwestern European" category you are lumped into.

Okay, cool. . . But that does really make you "Irish" like someone that was born and raised in Ireland? Someone who grew up immersed in the culture, history, languages, etc.? Go tell someone from Ireland that you took a DNA test and that you are part Irish. I guarantee they would not care, probably hear it all the time from Americans, and would not think of you as one of them.

Another aspect about ancestry that has always bothered me is that I feel like it's a socially acceptable version of Nationalism-lite/Racism-lite.

"I am proud to be of Italian descent!"

Why? Do you think Italians are better than other people? You didn't do anything to earn your heritage, and sure, Italians -- like all cultures -- have made wonderful contributions to humanity, but those contributions were more than likely due to their culture and resources vs. the DNA in their cells.

"Wow! I two of my grandparents from 5 generations ago were German"

Cool, except Germany was only established in 1867, so they probably were Germanic people, but not "German" like one thinks. After all, countries are just lines on a map.

Lastly, aren't all people with European ancestry related by at least one common ancestor if you go back like 500-1000 years? I think if you go back like 2000 years or something, everyone on Earth shares at least one common ancestor. So, regardless of what the DNA tests say about your ancestor 4x generations back or however far back they go, we're all related anyway, and maybe we should start acting like that towards one another.

Seriously, what's the appeal to these tests? I can understand health information slightly more, but couldn't a hospital do that for you?
The announcement event is still going on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctkW3V0Mh-k
If we're being critical here, I'd also argue that often the CISO's job and main concern is simply making sure they have the right paperwork and motions in place to pass a given set of industry audit standards. These people are not always even capable of understanding the technical security of a product.

Paper security like this is often a minimum bar, and sometimes even below minimum when the audit checklists lag best practices like "password rules" requirements did for so long.

I agree that if the CISO is liable, they should also actually be responsible, but making the CISO responsible won't by itself fix the industry's security issues.

The 401k generation is retiring right now. They peak in 5 years and end in 10.

I think the guessing they'll work longer is optimistic. Once you hit age 65 or 67 man, you'll be surprised how much harder life is lol. At my workplace, two people retired this year and they announced their funerals within 2 weeks. That caused 5 more to finally retire before it's err, too late.

But I fully agree the 401k meme is in trouble. It's modeled just like social security and pensions. Infinite growth, which simply does not exist. Except instead of the government footing it, we threw it into the market and allowed middlemen to also take a cut.

I don't know about this. I think things like stage fright can be more nuanced than just caring about other's opinions.

Two game controller companies. Garvis (1998) & Mad Catz (2004)

My Gravis Xterminator's cable was coming out of the controller body. They shipped me a new one, and the box came with a return label. All free of charge.

My Mad Catz PS2 controller's tumbsticks had some stick-drift. They wouldn't replace the whole unit (out of warranty?) but did send me replacement parts for free. The rep. said they'd sent almost any replacement part for free.

Any time this comes up I try to entertain the idea of using a much faster computer without MacOS and then realize that the OS is ~70% of the complete user experience for me. I am not sure what percentage of users are like that. I have ptsd just thinking about the whole multivendor fuckery what it means to have hardware devices with drivers that barely work most of the time. After using a computer on a daily basis for three decades I have no idea why people wasting time with bad software other than being a work requirement. I still use Windows for work and the amount of time is wasted on that platform is insane. The majority of staff at current co agrees that Windows is a dead end. The most notable ‘innovation’ ms has in win11 is the removal of adjustable scrolling direction. I seriously thought it was a joke that was executed somebody at ms trolling people just to even consider using win11. Apparently this is ok.

Anyways, back to the subject if Apple start to ship Raspberry Pis from tomorrow then I still don’t care and buy Apple until they ruin MacOS, in which case I switch to a job that does not require a computer.
Looks useful - will be cool to see the results as more models and datasets are added!
I know what you mean.

I remember one time I got off the plane in Italy and I was walking with my girlfriend to customs.

At one point we branched off from all the other passengers and she was like "hey we're going the wrong way, everyone is heading there". And I said nope this is the EU passengers exit, look at the sign.

She couldn't believe it was right because the plane was full of others from our EU country. All those people couldn't be wrong, right? I explained I guessed they were all just dumbly following the herd without looking which wouldn't even occur to me. I don't really have that autopilot herd-following program in me. Even when I'm in a group I'm navigating as if I were alone.

So we got to the end and there were 6 free booths in front of us and all the other passengers were queuing up for the 2 unmanned non-EU passport booths :') a security guard had to let them into the right queue.

This applies to the bystander effect too. I'm not surprised about this conclusion at all.

Awesome job guys, and thank you for creating it. Curious if you guys have any insights on long-term memory and if there are better ways to do retreivel apart from top-k.

Seems weird that every RAG app uses top-k especially since you might pull in information irrelevant to the context (e.g. if you were asking for the names of the authors of paper, you probably only want the top-1 embedding).
McDonald's, Chipotle to raise menu prices in Cali as fast-food wages rise to $20
If the amount of stress-relief that having a small cushion of a couple tens of thousands of dollars, (such as what I and people in my peer group would have had when we were getting started) scales up to having a million or more to start with then it definitely makes a huge difference.

The simple fact of knowing but there's a place to fall back on for a few weeks or a few months that isn't flipping burgers or scraping together money to get your car out of impound because it wouldn't start and you had to leave it on the street for a week to get it looked at. The ability to give yourself the liberty of taking time away from "producing stuff" to attend some social event or mixer where you might meet someone who could put you in touch with others who are interested in your idea, without having to cold call grind every single investment lead. The network that having this kind of money around brings to you. these are incalculable advantages that are often glossed over or dismissed when arguments about supposed envy and jealousy of others' mega-success come up.

And even more intangible but still very present in the mindset of people who are trying to get a startup off the ground at all, is that having family with this kind of money available, even if they don't give you a single cent of it, is likely to make you feel more comfortable about taking a risk because it's very likely that your family understands the upsides of taking a risk. Which is completely different from coming from a background where everyone close to you expects you to work an honest trade or profession for a regular paycheck, and with whom you have to rationalize your life choices - why didn't you just become a doctor or a lawyer, etc. - always on the defense about why you were doing what you're doing instead of getting even notional support from them instead.
Now spam comes from calendar invites, DRIVE shares, and who knows what is coming in the future.
That makes sense though. An existing business is a known quantity where is a new business isn't. It's easier to assess the risk of something that already exists.
I had a feeling they’d announce MacBook Pro in black because that black keyboard stood out so much in all the existing colors that it was shocking they had even released it as such. But making it exclusively a Max and Ultra option is just such an obvious money grabbing attempt milking the elitist cult around Apple… This whole event is grasping at straws. Wonder how the market feels about it tomorrow.

EDIT: oh wow, that was it. A new 10% faster processor and a new MacBook color. And the whole event for that… bizzare.
> It's weird how smart people are naturally attracted to complexity like moth to a flame.

Hah, I just experienced this when I asked my brother for a simple comparison of about 7 criteria in a 3 column table, to include in a report.

He gave me 12 criteria not entirely from the data source I was looking for, and a cost calculator to boot.

On the other hand, over the course of a few weekends he coded up a beautiful baroque bastard of an excel macro that saved us thousands of man-hours over 5 years.

I can understand that if the pay is high enough companies will want the most skilled/effective workers, but you'd hope for some kind of apprentice program to get younger workers trained up.

we are not blaming african families for making their children work. we are blaming western businesses for not paying africans enough so that they are forced to do this.

the problem is not the lying about the age. discovering that is not about saying those are bad parents, but instead this is proof that the price paid for cocoa is still to low.

there is really only one way to solve this: to stop exploiting labor and resources in those countries but actually pay them enough so that they can live a decent life.

and the way to make that happen is to create awareness in the consumer to make them demand from the chocolate producers that they actually make an effort to fix this.

> Few are ever able to escape the mindset because they are not fully conscious.

No one can, and no one is. All lines of code are over-engineered, just some more so. No amount of thought will get you to the perfect solution; it's an unapproachable asymptote. We're all creatures of time and there's a limit to how many cycles we can afford to spend iterating in design space to try and hit the right note. (Not to say we can't get better with practice, though.)

Well, as of 13 minutes ago Apple announced the M3 which is on the N3 process.
Exactly my point - if he resigned quietly, the company would hire a "yes man" that exactly fits the profile I described. If he resigned loudly, he probably would be pretty unhireable, at least as another CISO.

In neither case do the customers at any company get the benefit of actual improved security.

but the processing will still cost CPU time which takes it away from the 'main' process, unless it's transferred away from the machine and processed elsewhere. Unless if eBPF can do such processing much more efficiently than the application's own code, i don't see how it reduces latency differently from a properly threaded app. Of course, using eBPF makes an app instrument-able without changes is good enough a reason to use it.
I found it surprisingly helpful to use the heuristic of just pausing when everyone is doing some thing (like moving in a mass) and just literally evaluating the opposite thing to do.

It’s a surprisingly useful heuristic.

rsync.net has been amazing. just real people, normal email, super nice. Technologically capable.

NS.nl (dutch trains) has been wonderful, too - their support chat went straight to a human who apologized for the wait saying it was a peak time. They handled my question (which wasnt even an issue, just a question) immediately and were very kind and made sure I understood. They ended the chat by telling me to please come back if I have followup questions, and wishing me a nice weekend. It was awesome.
> If it's legal -- it's fair and just.

A quick look at history shows this to be false (Jim Crow laws, Nuremberg Laws, a million other examples). People should never derive their morality from bureaucrats.
That requires knowing how it will fail. It’s hard enough to do so with lots of interfaces and even more so when the software is opaque.

Now extend that to safety critical domains where a separate party doesn’t control an API and it gets harder still.
Oh, we're saying the same thing, and I misconstrued you; I thought you were making a comment about how lackadaisical Apple is about security, but you're just saying "CISO" isn't that big a thing. I agree! Sorry about that.

I wish the paper put more emphasis on understanding the mechanism driving the outcome than the implications of the outcomes. It's great to discuss the practical utility of findings such as organizational and employment practices (because it's easy to dismiss research otherwise), but remarkably little time is spent actually discussing how their data reflects things like diffusion of responsibility brought up in the introduction.
I really don't know much about Czech history but I Googled:

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

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

Lots of nasty stuff. I obviously won't defend the Nazis but Czechs didn't exactly play by the rules of law against the Nazis who also didn't play by the rules of law.

The Germans seem to have a reasonable grounds to claim parts of your land. If 3000 Germans armed to the teeth with assault rifles, heavy machine guns and RPGs went on a rampage through Prague killing 1000 civilians, taking hostages, and retreating back to Germany... What would be your take on that?

Maybe it's not a good analogy, I'm totally ignorant of European history like most are about middle eastern history, point is that without context you can't make a moral judgement.

Smotrich is an idiot. The PA has no interest in making peace. But Israel and the PA do collaborate because the PA corrupt officials want to remain in power and their people will slaughter them without Israel's protection just like they did to the Fatah in Gaza.

EDIT: So why aren't Europeans killing each other all the time when basically every inch of land there was stolen from someone in some war not too long ago? They were for a long time. Because at some point you move on and you stop thinking that you're going to solve the problem by killing your neighbor. The Palestinians are just not willing to move on. Israel has been willing to move on a long time ago but its neighbors want to kill it. Those neighbors also don't generally share the values of the west at all. Just look at the human right situation in the middle east and how neighboring countries (unrelated to Israel) treat each other. It's not Western Europe.

EDIT2: this is ancient history but since we've gone back to WW-II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husseini ... I am not super familiar with this guy's history but supposedly the family originates from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husayn_ibn_Ali who lived in Medina (modern day Saudi Arabia) and not in "Palestine". I've heard some Palestinians claim they're the descendants of the Canaanites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan ... anyhow, context history and such.

I do feel on a human level for the individuals who are suffering and being pawns in a bigger game.

Irrelevant. You said “it’s the law”. I responded with “it’s the law”. You lack consistency, more at 12.

I already made it clear in my original comment that unlike you, my position on IP holds universally and not just in situations that benefit me. The fact that you continue to try to argue how beneficial it would be to have IP makes me believe that you simply do not care about being consistent, so I’d like to hear it from you personally. You believe in IP when it comes to stopping AI but not when it prevents you from pirating, agree or disagree? If I don’t get a one word answer I’ll answer for you.
In the real world. I’ve been working for large vendors for literal decades and I can tell you outright that you own us if you’re a big customer, even if we are the only vendor in sight, and no one gives a shit if you’re spreading out your business.

This is 100% a natural consequence of the need to make your quarter. A bigger deal is much more influential than a small one, consistently. Sales incentives also do this.

People who have not actually worked in the industry with a solid eye for how this works often think that having multiple vendors is a good answer, but it’s not. Having optionality helps, but in the end it’s all about deal size.
>The study was published this week in the October issue of Autism Research and created with collaborators from the University of Toronto. The research participants -- employed individuals, 33 with autism and 34 neurotypical -- were asked to weigh in on hypothetical scenarios involving everything from inefficiencies to inequalities to quality concerns.

It's a survey of 67 people. Could have been online even. Nothing I'd take seriously.
I don't see this going in any direction other than a boilerplate that will become something that is ignored.
