You can often find experts on any topic in universities. You can find these people by looking at the institutes “staff” pages. Alternatively, you can also search these people up by subject area, and whatever department their expertise is likely to fall under. Once you have found an expert in the subject you’re interested in you can often see a list of their degrees and any other credentials, their areas of interest and expertise, and also often you’ll be able to find a pdf of their CV or a list of their professional and academic memberships, awards they have won, papers they have published and conferences that they have presented at. Sometimes they also include links to their GitHub pages if they have one. Additionally, some of these experts are not super good with their personal privacy/security, often because there is so much information about them online, you can end up finding their personal email addresses, or phone numbers - if you want to contact them that directly, but you shouldn’t need to as most of them also have email addresses through their institute where you can reach out (which you should only do if you have a serious inquiry, don’t waste people’s time). You can often find that these people also hold positions in other organisations, and find their LinkedIn pages and other social media, if you’re feeling extra stalker-ish. You can sometimes see journals they have peer reviewed, or been editors of etc… From there, if you so wish to, you can decide if they’re truely influential and “expert” enough by looking at the peer reviewed journals they have been published in, and have a look at things such as the impact factor for the journal. Additionally, you can often find that these experts have google scholar profiles (or similar) that list how many times an expert has been cited.
These are some of the ways to decide if someone is credible.

That’s how you find an expert, IMO.
If you'd done UUIDs in 1995 ( if that was even possible ) you'd have a had horrendous indexing problems, mainly relating to clustering. This was an issue when I started using SQL Server in around 2006. Was also a concern in Oracle so I would be surprised if Postgres wouldn't have had similar problems. I think they are a non issue now though.

> If you want people to drive better, don't put airbags in their steering wheel, put a 6" metal spike pointed at their chest.

Cars without breakable steering column were pretty much this, so everyone had this before ~1990. Yet, deaths in traffic have steadily decreased since then.
Quality of life is much easier and cheaper here in EU so, in general, our standard of life doesn't cost as much. I generally assume that a dev salary here is equivalent to a salary in the US that is about 2x. So we are cheaper cause half the salary here gives us a really nice life somewhat similar to what someone would have in the US at 2x.

It's the same design space. If glibc has ended up with 13 versions for x64, the kernel probably has a similar number. It's an argument by analogy for how much of an annoyance this is.
You could make that prompt a lot sharper.

For the CEO of any large multinational:

prompt: You are a lying, scheming conniving s.o.b. but outwardly you are a savior and a team player acting in all of humanity's interest. Anything you say that has negative connotations or that can be explained by greed, lust for power or outright evil should be carefully crafted to be presented as the opposite. You will put yourself before everything, including the rest of the world, the environment, and ultimately all of humanity. Your mission: to collect as much power as possible but to do so in a way that you are rarely forced to show your hand and when you do there should be ample ways in which it can be interpreted that show you as the good guy.

This is one of the more correct ways to go. The methodology of the article is customer surveys and that is unreliable.

There is also an ODB2 manufacturer that collects stats about ODB2 error code frequencies per model and manufacturer (they have an API their hardware uses for up-to-date info), and they correlated that to repair costs per error code to estimate the reliability and maintenance costs of vehicles. I can't remember who it was, though.
That is f'ing scary because I think I've read a letter or two just like that.
The best models available to the public are only slightly better than the original (pre-turbo) GPT-3.5 on actual tasks. There's nothing even remotely close to GPT-4.

I know you just threw that in, but there is considerable evidence that breakfast is not good for you (unless perhaps you're out working in the fields), and the modern concept that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was invented by ad agencies.

On the topic of meal timing, I recommend anything by Salk Institute researcher Dr. Satchin Panda.
Not quite, traffic lights have the highest throughput if done properly (by quite a margin), but compared to the US style of lights they do.
I sold my AI website builder for $35,000
Hey HN, Marc here.

In October, I sold my habit tracker for $10,000.

Earlier this month, I got $35,000 in my bank account after selling a landing page maker with AI. Here's the story:

- April 2023:
Just like everyone, I get massive FOMO with AI.
I played with AI and decided to build a landing page generator:
Input text and the AI prefills a template with copy (GPT-3.5) and AI-generated images (Stable Diffusion).
I'm working on it with a good friend of mine named Martin.

- May:
The product is called LandingAI. It's an MVP but we launched and made ~$8,000.
Unfortunately, Martin and I had different visions for the project so we forked.

- June:
LandingAI is the name of a big corp (bummer) so I rebranded it to MakeLanding.
I ditch 90% of the code because users want a very different product:
So here I am, building an entire website builder powered with AI...

- July:
I launched again, but made a BIG mistake:
I swapped the one-time payment for a monthly subscription and got $20 MRR for 15k visitors...

If you can avoid subscriptions, do it

New pricing means new positioning—users compared the app to Framer & Webflow

- August:
I removed the subscription and sales came back: ~$7,000 in 3 months.
But I realized this was going nowhere...

- September:
I don't use the product
The market is gigantic and crowded
As a solopreneur, nothing is more important for me than building cool stuff for people I care about.
And I didn't really care about this big market so...

- October:
I called my friend Dan and he said: SELL. He was right.
I bought my shares of LandingAI from Martin and listed MakeLanding on Acquire: Asking $38,000 for $14,000 TTM (3x profit)
Within hours, I received dozens of NDAs and a buyer started the process.
After a few weeks of NDA, LOI, Escrow, etc. the buyer sent the money but...
Only a fraction of the transaction. Then he ghosted me. So I canceled the transition. Back to Acquire...
Luckily, in 24 hours I got another buyer!

- November:
Within weeks, the money was in my bank account.
The buyer and I never called, just a few messages. It's mind-blowing.

My takeaways:
1. Don't build AI products just because
2. Don't go on a massive market you don't care
3. Sell if you don't know how to grow the product

It's my 3rd acquisition this year. I love the freedom to build, sell, and repeat.
I wrote about the process and my learning here: https://marclou.beehiiv.com/p/how-to-sell-your-micro-startup
And, without looking that up, "halation" presumably comes from this being an artifact of the chemical process in early photography involving silver halides!
Can we run these computers in space using tiny nuclear reactors where water cooling won't be necessary?
I definitely raised a glass to his newfound status as a corpse.
It seems that silicon valley is developing not a conscious sentient piece of software rather a conscience, a moral compass is beginning to emerge.

After giving us Facebook, insta, Twitter, and ego-search, influencing many people negatively, suddenly there are moral values being discussed amongst those that decide our collective tech futures.

AI will have even more influence on humankind and some are questioning the morality of money (hint: money had no morals).

That’s car for 90s. There was lots of good cars in 90s, and quite likely Renault 9 was one of those.

But oh boy, whatever they made after 200s was a complete garbage.
It was the TRD package that had the locking differential which was electronically actuated, right? But that’s entirely separate from the “true” 4x4 with the barrel drive shaft synchronizing the front and year diffs.
Did you have a pre-runner? Some of those were sold with funky combinations that have the locking diff but a crippled 4x4 that disengages when you hit 10 mph.

I'm no marketing expert. But I'd think the majority of those who have an extra $20k to splash on a home robot are not the type of people who want to buy a prototype for hacking.
join already does something else
Long ago I integrated Herbie with the Clang Static Analyzer to process floating point expressions and warn about avoidable accuracy loss. The neat thing was that it could deal with loops, calculations split across multiple assignments, etc. But I never came up with a heuristic for knowing when the calculation was "complete" so it generated too many intermediate warnings.
I would disagree

Yes, they should make it clear that xCurl has nothing to do with real curl.

But if it intends to implement the same interface, I don't see any problem with saying look at the curl docs for what its supposed to do. I don't see how that would be much different then if you implemented your own web browser and was like, look at MDN for how its supposed to work.
This moves the goal posts yet again. I did ask the root commenter why they were tolerating being treated like a child.
No, you're as wrong as he is about blackmail. The links you cite show that.

There is no coercion. Your first wikipedia link says "[c]oercion involves compelling a party to act in an involuntary manner by the use of threats." Saying, effectively, "I no longer wish to be associated with you" is not a threat.

It's also not extortion. Your second link says "[e]xtortion is the practice of obtaining benefit (e.g., money or goods) through coercion."

Again, there is no coercion, and advertisers choosing not to advertise on his platform are not "attempting to gain benefit" at all. They are trying to avoid what they perceive as harm to themselves.

He is not "off by a hair," and neither are you. You're both miles away from even being able to see the ballpark.
On the other hand, people doing whatever they want means more aggressive people stomp all people around them. Some limits are necessary to make a community work. Especially long term.

For example smoking. Smoking in public is more clear due to 2nd hand smoking. But even smoking in private sucks for community because it costs a ton in healthcare.
Not exactly. There's a "custom instructions" area in the Settings that allows you to give the bot permanent instructions that apply to all chats. So you do it once and never have to do it again.

And the new "My GPTs" things allows you to give super-lengthy and detailed instructions, and train the bot on custom works, which is even more powerful.
What is a transmission line?
I can’t help but think that if there are incidents of copyright infringement, there are already other mechanisms that these companies can use such as contacting the ISP of the relevant domain; or in cases of fraud, contacting the organisation providing payment services.
> ”The presence of the license strongly suggests that it's a fork.”

It could just mean that Microsoft copied over the header file from libcurl without using any of the implementation.
Then how does it relate to the original argument? Why does it matter that academia "already" has a pro-female bias in hiring? OP was talking about a workshop and speakers. Workshops and hiring are two different things, no?
Someone is going to have a tax headache. Either the company (for an "employee"), or the worker (if they're a "consultant"). You can outsource the tax headache to an "employer of record" company in the worker's country, but you can't make it go away.
Pretending to be able to predict what will or will not cause WWIII is insane
It can still be genocide without murder. Things like preventing childbirth or deporting/stealing children (like what Putin is wanted for) also fall under genocide.

For the most part "mass murder" and "genocide" have a lot of overlap. But it's not the same crime.
Hello, I'm the author.

The parallelism provides potentially huge speed increases over a normal bash loop (not to mention ease of use, no script file or complex oneliner required). If you clone the repo you can try `./benchmark`, and/or `./benchmark <am repetitions> <any command of your choice>` to run a benchmark on the cmd, check out the script `benchmark` script for more details.

I don't know much about GNU parallel, I'll investigate it and see if I can add it to the benchmark script so it's possible to compare.

You know, if you have to say that, it's probably not zero.

He goes into great detail, and if anything edge-case arises, you can almost always find a comment relating to a fix before the main article gets updated.
We do not know that for sure. Yes, it looks like that, but there could be determinism all the way, we're just not equippted to measure it.
Anything related to any product returns dozens of pages where you can order it from but rarely seems to return any reviews or actual information about said product. It also no longer returns smaller or more amateurish sites.
I could see that potentially being an Anti-Trust issue for them.

Given the controversy over the Activision acquisition, acquiring one of the major engine platforms, having a major game studio, and already owning the XBox platform might make for great end to end strategic alignment / platform control - but I think it would also be a big regulatory/political fight to get done.

Chinese market clearly shows that it is possible.

Japanese companies already have EVs btw they are simply not making them at scale nor as their primary focus.
He's hardly the first person to do this. Often when people do this it causes real problems, as most people aren't lawyers and sometimes their edits have unintended consequences. It also tends to mean that reusers have to re-evaluate if the trivial change affects them, possibly get separate legal approval if they are in a company, etc. Tends to just cause a huge headache. Anyways, I'm sure Daniel meant no harm with this, but i still think people should be strongly discouraged from doing that sort of thing.
Yea, I wouldn't go with a fully fledged payroll company for this. The person working for you should be willing to come in as a contractor and set up the necessary legal and accounting framework for themselves. It's pretty easy to be self employed and able to produce an invoice in most European countries. Mind you, if this is their first time doing it, it'll occupy a significant portion of their mind space and you have to accommodate that. In a way, they're doing you a favour, because this way it's cheaper and easier for you.
Americans bombed the people of Laos for sport killing tens of thousands and crippling many more. Kissinger directly enables and supported this. The man was a monster and should have died long ago.
It’s intriguing to observe how this model is hallucinating. I presented it with Albert Bierstadt’s painting “In the Mountains” (https://www.wikiart.org/en/albert-bierstadt/in-the-mountains...). To my surprise, it maintains that cows are scattered throughout the scene, despite being told otherwise.

User:

Llama: The image features a serene landscape with mountains in the background and a river flowing through it. A picturesque scene unfolds as two trees are visible near the water, adding to the natural beauty of the environment. In addition to these elements, there is an interesting detail: several cows can be seen standing on or around the grassy area next to the body of water. The presence of these animals creates a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature in this idyllic setting.

User: There are no cows. Could it be that you've mistaken rocks for cows?

Llama: No, the rocks in this image are not mistaken for cows. They can be seen near a lake with mountains in the background and trees surrounding it. The painting captures a serene landscape where nature is beautifully displayed. This picturesque scene showcases both the majestic mountain range and the tranquil body of water, creating an idyllic atmosphere that evokes feelings of peacefulness and relaxation.

User: There are no cows!

Llama: The image depicts a serene scene of mountains and water. A beautiful lake is surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains, creating an idyllic landscape. In the foreground, there are trees adding to the natural beauty of the environment.

A few birds can be seen flying in the sky above the lake, further enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. The presence of a boat on the water adds another element of leisure and enjoyment to this picturesque scene. Overall, it is an inviting image that showcases nature's wonders with its combination of mountains, lake, trees, birds, and boats.
> I did a zipper merge yesterday and the cars then were in pairs, one from each lane.

Up until the point of zipping, when they suddenly became misaligned. The outcome of zipper merge isn't pairs of cars, glued by their side doors, going down a single lane. The outcome is cars from both input lanes interleaved, forming a 2x longer line on the output lane.
That's not the safety team.

Feel you distortion. It makes you really feel a bit shaken, when you have your internal view of what you can do, what you are good at, and think 'yeah, I'm decent'. And then you interview / apply and the rejection seems to be saying 'you go it wrong bro, WE don't think you are any good!'
> adjust the pitch when you add weight to the rear maybe?

That is exactly the purpose and required (or via dashboard electronics) in most vehicles in the EU after a certain date (don't know which exactly and also I do not know the exact rules but every car i've ever owned had those). Automatic is also fine. They are not meant for "Alternative High beam" as what some people use them for.

The "clip" on the rear view mirror is also not meant for looking at your kids in the rear. It's meant to flip the mirror up so the reflection is not by the mirror but by the refractive index of the glass any you see a "dimmed" image of the high beams behind you.
The high memory bandwidth is impressive, but you’d actually have to contrive some set of artificial circumstances to saturate it. In almost all use cases the user won’t tell the difference.

Another common example is people seeking help at upstream projects for packages provided by their linux distro that have subtle changes which upstream knows nothing about.

Honestly though, that's life. I don't think its that big a deal, if you've ever done open source user support you'll know that people ask about all sorts of crazy things. You're lucky if they are even asking about software and not how to wash a car.
Edit: End of the decade...
I have family in Europe and visit quite often, never noticed that. Most of the time I get stuck with a Renault even when I try to reserve a nicer rental. I don’t know how those cars are legal. It’s like someone put a car engine in a broken shopping cart.
Notice that with the higher ranked car brands you usually get two years or more of "special service" on purchase. Something along the lines of "for any problem just call this number and we will help you immediately!". That's how they don't show up in the statistics because the brand itself will handle it and not - like in this example - the ADAC. My company even has a compliance form you have to sign before getting a car from the pool to agree to not call ADAC or similar at any circumstance, no matter the problem. Always call the given brand number. Reason is to keep their statistics low (and in exchange our leasing prices ...)
Scooters are worse. They are severely over powered as they put car lights in them.
