lol up to 50k. My buddy broke his leg in 3 places (compound fracture) while hiking in Chamonix, France. He didn’t have travelers insurance. (I know. First time he and his wife traveled to Europe and I didn’t tell them to get it… I just thought they would.) it was estimated to cost up to 50k euros at the private clinics in Switzerland and the French hospital he was at was garbage.

He got surgery at home back in the states and all told it would have exceeded the CYA limits that’s for sure.
This round of updates seems amazing. I need to pour over these docs and start experimenting.
I think the problem might be for consumer apps how they create their APIs since lots of consumer apps are startups with limited resources and second is pricing. They need to make money somehow?
OT: this thread is nowhere on the first 15 pages, I had to user the search to find it (I saw the title on the frontpage just before refreshing but after that it was gone). What's the logic ? Is it ghost flagged or something ?

> Famously, what made Tetris so different was it's soviet style. There is no end let alone a solution. There is no second chance. Your mistakes just pile up until you fail.

Tetris is actually quite lenient in that regard. Mistakes are rarely fatal, you usually need to screw up pretty badly to find yourself in an unrecoverable situation. Generally, you lose by making mistakes at a higher rate than you can fix them. This is in contrast to games where you have a limited number of lives, famously a single one for Rogue, hence the term "Rogue-like".

And while Tetris have no "hard" ending, like many arcade-style games, at some point, it becomes effectively unplayable. Maybe that's what made it successful, it is an arcade game as much as it is a puzzle game.
I would love to hear an explanation as to why that makes a difference?

This entire mess happened because consumers usurped the naming convention. The intended marketing term is just "USB-C 5Gbps", "USB-C 20Gbps" and so on.

The "GenX" stuff was only ever intended to be an internal technical designation, but journalists who didn't bother to actually read all documents started using that term with the general public.

I was coming at it from the angle of making positive long term investments (E.g. Growing the pie), opposed to simply shifting money and who gets services.

Most of the reasons why there is low housing, Healthcare, or food isn't due to lack of capital investment.

If you ask something like why isn't Healthcare cheap and abundant, it isn't because nobody can make money and isn't due to lack of investment.

If you give everyone, $1000 to go to the doctor, guess what, doctors prices will just go up $1000.

The only thing that really makes a difference is expanding supply.

> That doesn't make this situation any less bad to the rest of the community.

How is the community suffering here? Let's say Element adds a bunch of baller stuff to their versions over the next few months and then closes the source. Can't the community just fork the last AGPL version? You might say, "well then no one can take the AGPL fork and make their own closed-source business", but do you want them to? Even if you do, they still can with the existing Apache-licensed version, just like Element is doing right now.

You're arguing that Element will lose a lot of contributions, but TFA points out that despite being super open, the vast majority of contributions are still made by Element employees (which seems to be true [0]). It's not the case that Element is looking to monetize the (small) contributions of others, it is the case that others are looking to monetize the (huge) contributions of Element.

And besides, aren't the MSCs the core of Matrix? It's already super possible to build your own compliant client and server.

The situation is that Element needs money to keep developing the ecosystem. It would be cool if there were a big network of donors and contributions, but there isn't. You're essentially saying, "that's fine, go out of business then, and the community will keep developing the ecosystem", but that's not happening now, and it can still happen anyway with the Apache-licensed versions, which again people can still contribute to.

Ask HN: How do I transition from working as Employee to Contracting?
Hi HN,

I'm at a point in my career where I'm considering starting a consulting business, and "working for myself", rather than working as an employee. I'd like to work remotely, on interesting, well-defined problems.

In the past I worked indpendently for about two years, starting off with one client a past college connected me with. That work was consistent enough to support me while I picked up additional clients.

What advice can anyone offer who's made the transition from working as an employere to working indepdently. How did you find your first clients? Did you advertise at all?

Did you work primarily hourly, or deliverables based?

Another potentially difficulty in my particular situation is that I've developed expertise in embedded systems, and as embedded systems work almost always requires hardware, the remote argument is harder to make.

Although I have worked with backends, frontends, databases, distributed systems, CI/CD, kubernetes, operating system, networking, message queuing, and more "pure software" technology, it's not self-evident from my work history, so selling my skills outside of core "embedded" work is tricky. Any advice on making the transition to a more pure software role?

I'm posting this from an almost a reverse-throwayay account. My "main" HN account is anonymous. Perhaps I will engage the internet with my given name(s) more going forward.

Regular expressions and glob(7) expressions look superficially similar, but it is mostly an illusion; they both use * and ? as common metacharacters, but both of those characters mean different things in the two systems. Only the [ and ] characters are used more similarly, but even those have their differences. The two syntaxes only have one common function which functions identically in the two systems, but it is invoked by different characters; specifically the ? (question mark) character in glob(7) exactly corresponds to the . (full stop) character in regular expressions.
Not in the US, so the specifics are different, but 1) my offers have always included the details important to me either from the start or after I've pointed out what I want confirmed, 2) what really matters is the contract, and my assumption is that anything not in the contract doesn't exist.

It's fine if they don't want to put something in the contract or the offer, but if so I tell them straight up that I will pretend it doesn't exist when evaluating how their offer stacks up.

I do that because I agree perks can often be misleading, and the solution is to make clear you'll err on the side of caution. If their perks are actually really good, odds are they're prepared to promise them in writing.

The weird thing about supermassive black holes is that their average density at the Schwarzschild radius actually goes down as they grow bigger. E.g. I just calculated Phoenix A's density is shockingly low at 2*10^-6 g/cm³ which is similar to high altitude in the earth's atmosphere.

Lots of different ESA and Arianespace made lots of arrogant and wrong statements over the years, trust me as somebody that has followed it.

Their claims about illegal subsidies were always utterly hilarious. It was literally just them appealing to European nationalism without any evidence. They were basically saying to convince clueless ESA member-state politicians of nonsense. There is a reason they haven't even tried to bring this to the WTO, they knew they were full of shit.
Frequent minor updates on F-Droid are why I stopped using a certain developers simple line of apps. F-Droid requires manual updating and I wonder if it occurred to this dev what a timesuck he had turned his apps into.
It’s just a matter of opinion. I think Vercel were acting reasonably with all of the context we have. Things like terms of business are at the account level, not project level.
The easiest route towards that might be contract work or employment.
I disagreed with you up to this point:

> Of course if you have developers that don't do that and instead merge dozens of commits that just say wip, wip, wip, lol, fml, wip, wip, lol, yolo and you can't fire them or get them to change, then squash merges ftw.

Yes, any large organization has plenty of devs who all have their own style and preferences, for better or worse.

Whoever demands they all bend to the one true way is a fascist (lol not really but you know).

Just set up your CI/CD in such a way that PRs with weird git logs get squashed into one pretty message, preferably the PR description since other devs have to review the PR it's often given more effort. Set it up so that if things weren't formatted the "right way" they get auto-formatted or a test fails and the dev says "ah, I have to run that one task and then update the PR".

I don't think a big organization is going to scale with developer "evangelists" demanding people write their commits a certain way either.

conventionalcommits.org was the worst. I worked at one "big co" that tried to get devs to do this. Even after we had been doing it for a while, nobody ever went back to look at the history in such a way that it was worth it. We ended up throwing in the towel rather than the company trying to get all other teams to do it.

It is mandated. Most companies just choose to deliberately ignore that part of the spec.
Most companies still don’t necessarily list total compensation. For base salary though, these ranges are quite helpful and has definitely caused some “good” trouble increasing baseline wages among competing companies.

At higher levels it’s still ambiguous what ranges truly are since job postings can span multiple job levels (which is why some ranges can feel dubiously wide). Ended up writing a bit about this phenomenon here and what contributes to it: https://www.levels.fyi/blog/notes-on-california-transparency...
The USB standards body really should fix this by requiring all USB-C cables to indicate what their capabilities are. It seems insane to make them all the same shape and not to have a requirement for some other way they can be easily differentiated.

This is one of the two things that makes me dislike USB-C (the other is that I find the physical connectors more fragile than the predecessors).
Just because something is great doesn't mean that others can't compete. Even a secondary good product can easily be successful due to a company having invested too much, not being aware of openai (ai progress in general), due to some magic integration, etc.

If it would be only me, no one would buy azure or aws but just gcp.
That incentive was already there for things like H1B. Or unrelated reasons, like hiring/retention.
This is far too much nuance for a hack like Doctorow. He just wants to fume and stamp his feet.
Reminds me of that sales entrapment approach from cloud providers. “Here is your free $400, go do your thing” next thing you know you have build so much on there already that it is not worth the time and effort to try and allocate it regardless of the 2k bill increase -haha. Good times.
I just feel like the big tech companies have gotten better at capturing the value of their platforms. It’s not the same as it was in 2008. I don’t think we’re going to see anything like the “manage an indie app as a lifestyle business” boom we saw back then, and I expect the consolidation that killed off most of those indie devs will happen way faster this time.
"Gen 1x2" wasn't deprecated because as a marketing term it was never a thing to begin with. And they recently dropped the whole "SuperSpeed" part so now it's just "USB 5Gbps".
I think that doesn't solve the problem of the variable scope
Speaking from the UK here. The CPI has largely remained around 6% recently here in the Uk, interest rates are very high but the Bank of England hasn’t started quantitative easing to start reducing interest rates and thus hopefully bringing down inflation. I believe that it will start in early 2024 at some point here in the Uk but the macro economics of the wars around the world will have a major impact of timeline to which that happens.

But I don’t suspect until later 2024 or 2025 for it to truly come down but I believe it won’t come down to much lower levels to like 2019 levels. A coke bottle will be around £2-2.50 it won’t be lower than that. Even if it is it will be pennies.

No, because there isn't a role for which you pay people 4x others. A grade E and A+ are doing different jobs with different qualifications and requirements.
Quick summary:

We've spotted strong evidence for a supermassive black hole (of the kind that tend to sit in the center of galaxies like ours, which contains Sagittarius A*) in an extremely distant galaxy - one that formed within the first half-billion or so years of the galaxy.

What makes this important is that we've seen increasing evidence that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) exist earlier than we've expect if they were born from the deaths of massive stars and slowly accumulating mass in the way "typical" black holes today do.

This black hole is apparently very good evidence that these early SMBHs did not form from star collapse but may have formed from gas clouds collapsing directly into black holes. Finding support for this alternative model could lead us to new possibilities in physics.
And there's us, https://garden.io, that does totally portable CI pipelines with caching from builds to tests: https://github.com/garden-io/garden

I made an irreverent short on why your CI pipelines ought to be portable and runnable locally. Number one reason? Give your developers their time (and sanity) back. Pushing to Git in the inner loop disrupts flow and shatters attention.

Ask HN: Best cold email practices for MVP-stage startups?
What have you found to work when sending cold emails to potential customers as a new, still incomplete product startup?

I've found that taking the more humble, "hey we're still developing it but we'd love for you to try it" to have more success on Reddit & Twitter.

We've been trying it on email but seems like it's not working. We're getting 30% open rate but no responses. We're going to test the more hard sell, value-prop based approach but I wanted to ask here to help further pinpoint if it's a messaging or lead-quality issue.

Thanks

I cannot speak knowledgeably about the original (non-GNU) Affero GPL v1, but about the GNU AGPL v3 I can say:

It does not require "forced upstream contributions". What it requires is that users who use the program over the network can get a copy of the source code. Your statement sounds a lot like the FUD about the plain GPL requiring forced upstream contributions; no, it only requires you give the source to those who get a binary from you; the AGPL only requires that you give the source to those who have access to your server instance.

Now, there is a cogent argument that applies everything you said not just to the AGPL but the GPL as well; but that does not appear to be the argument that you're making. So I will proceed with the assumption that you consider the GNU GPL v3 to be acceptable (possibly with the exception of the AGPL-compatibility clause in section 13).

The only non-name-change-related/reflective difference between the GNU GPL v3 and the GNU AGPL v3 main license text is that the AGPL adds the following paragraph to section 13:

> Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
following paragraph.

Now, if you're giving your contributions to a for-profit company that can re-license your work to a non-copyleft license... yeah, stop doing that.
interesting work, thanks! Not enough people studying this.

Do you have a whitepaper describing how you trained this hallucination detection model?

Is each row of the leaderboard the mean of the Vectara model's judgment of the 831 (article,summary) pairs, or was there any human rating involved? With so few pairs, it seems feasible that human ratings should be able to quantify how much hallucination is actually occurring.
Where does ChatGPT get its pattern to match to produce the output? Likely sources like this.
> you'll need a special government license to resolve issues opened by anyone related to China?

Yes but that's very similar to how the EUV "ban" works too. As long as you can get a license it's fine but getting the license is expected to be very hard and probably represents a big enough of a risk that you can't base your business around that. So effectively it is a ban.

The license thing does give the executive branch a good deal of leverage when negotiating with China. I think this is likely what the US is really after anyways. It's a pretty hard nosed renegotiation of the existing relationship by both sides.
It has nothing to do with dns-over-https, it has to do with using cloudflare dns at all, over https or plain.

In my case I added override rules in my opnsense router so that archive.is .ph .today .md are all resolved by a different nameserver.

Disabling DOH can appear to fix it only in the happenstance case that the fallback plain dns doesn't end up using cloudflare, or doesn't use it first.
Land use policy is the main driver for cost of living and homelessness. It has little to do with state gov policy (if anything state level policy is focused on fixing the problems over the objections of small cities) and it has nothing to do with execution by state agencies. Housing is not expensive because the gov is somehow incompetent.
The roll outs are quite slow. Sometimes it takes weeks for them to release a feature to my account while I know others who get access immediately. I understand that it helps them control the quality of ChatGPT, but I wish I got access earlier as I have been subscribed since the beginning.
It's probably 100b excess in a 750b company. It's earning 4 or 5% and gives a lot of option value to one of the worlds greatest investors should things go south. Given the current climate of wars, high interest rates, government spending... there is a decent chance he'll have a great chance to put that money to work at high rates of return here in the next few years.

And if the concern is about society... It's 150b that berkshire has lent to the government, who is spending the money on things for society. If someone doesn't like the way the government are spending it, that's another issue.

If big rockets are a strategical industry then throwing money at them to keep the industry alive is a good choice. The only issue with it is that SpaceX made evident that traditional rockets are becoming the steam locomotives of aerospace. It's time to build something else.

I'm not saying that Solar PV isn't economically viable at all (I've invested in Solar PV projects for my day job in fact, and obviously wouldn't have done so if I didn't think this).

My concern is the "end game", where all current baseload generation gets disconnected from the grid (including current nuclear when it reaches end of life). Solar PV's current low LCOE doesn't help you a lot in that case because in order to actually deliver the energy needed at the right time you will need to do some combination of (1) build a lot more PV than "needed" and routinely curtail it significantly in summer (ie significantly derate nameplate capacity) and (2) build a lot more storage to deal with seasonal and other variations.

This is when nuclear starts to look like it makes sense as part of the energy mix in my view.
