> Suicide should NOT be as stigmatized as it currently is in modern society.

I think that the problem here is the fact that in some cases what might drive someone to taking their life might be preventable: either with therapy, medication, supportive people around them, or a mix of all of those. Or to call out harmful behavior when it occurs on the part of others, because humans can be really horrible to one another.

That said, I guess I agree with your take, even if it sounds very antinatalist.

Maybe with the caveat that we should decisively figure out whether anything happens after death (our best guess is that nothing, though we might eventually even stimulate a near-death experience in an otherwise healthy brain to explain away any hallucinations) and in the end let people decide: either keep existing in our imperfect world, with all of the good and bad about it, or choose... eternal nothingness, until the heat death of the universe.

What a coincidence, I first saw this video in my YouTube recommends and now here. I used to have an MSX-2, a Philips. It had a double sided 720K 3.5" floppy drive, fhe file system is FAT12 and the disks were compatible with PC's. I learned Z80 assembler on the MSX and had a lot of fun with it both with playing games and making it do cool stuff. This computer was quite popular in the Netherlands as well as Spain.

These are not slow burning fuses or whatever. In their product video 6A blows a 5A fuse in like subseconds. However 6/5 rated current should probably blow slower, like days, or not at all? The 2A fuse is probably just made faulty.

I built a tool to help you validate your startup idea in SECONDS
Hey Hackers!

Like many of you, I've often found myself overwhelmed with startup ideas, unsure how to validate them or lost in a sea of information. To help navigate these early steps, I built something: SaaSlidator . It's a simple tool aimed at guiding through the initial, uncertain phases of entrepreneurship.

I faced a few common problems:

Not knowing where to start with an idea.
Difficulty in evaluating the idea's viability.
Confusion about differentiating the idea in the market.

SaaSlidator is designed to address these issues. It offers a structured approach while emphasizing market feedback for true validation.

Here's what it does:

Provides a customized SWOT analysis for your startup idea.
Gives insights on market trends and potential demand.
Outlines a roadmap for developing your MVP.
Includes a competitor analysis for strategic positioning.
Offers an action plan for execution.

It's not a magic solution, but it turns hours of research and planning into a quick, actionable report. Think of it as a basic guide to focus on the crucial part - bringing your idea to life.

I hope this tool will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls

Happy 2024!

Is English your native language? You might be confusing fuses with breakers.

Fuses aren't typically used to protect copper runs; breakers are. Fuses are used inside of electronics. Breakers are rated as you describe, to protect copper runs.

For fuses, this is a data sheet of a random fuse (first one on Digikey search; I didn't pick anything special):

What is wrong with academics? They just can't get the concept of "if you attract enough negative press, then the institution is gonna dump you to cut its losses".
Foxy Grandpas everywhere will line up.

I admit, the "barriers to entry" raises some troublesome contradictions to my mind. Do we set an age limit, and if so, what? What about testing for various intoxicants or anything else which might cause someone to be unable to enter even into a contract for a gym membership? But it seems to stretch out: will there be a panel to whom someone must justify themselves? Perhaps an essay ...

On the other hand, I am reminded of that quote from Patrick Stewart, "I have a strong feeling that, should the time come for me, having had no role in my birth, I would like there to be a choice I might make about how I die." Indeed, nobody tests for intoxicants or goes before a panel before producing an infant. Life is something which happens to you and not a great deal of fuss is made about the qualifications.

And make no mistake, we are each born owing the grave a debt. It will come due eventually, the question seems to be whether or not you get to set a time and a manner to it, or must it happen to you just as life happened to you? Without volition or selection of circumstance. Can we offer ourselves and one another the kindness we might bestow on a beloved pet?

I've no answers, only questions I find more and more uncomfortable.
> Everyone was brought into this world without their permission

I can never tell if this is satire or not. What does this even mean? Is this a bad thing? Is there some utopian goal where we somehow build some gizmo that can communicate with your consciousness pre-conception and get informed consent to 'being you into this world'?
The hardware / datacenter side of this is equally fascinating.

I used to work in AWS, but on the software / services side of things. But now and then, we would crash some talks from the datacenter folks.

One key relevation for me was that increasing compute power in DCs is primarily a thermodynamics problem than actual computing. The nodes have become so dense that shipping power in and shipping heat out, with all kinds of redundancies is an extremely hard problem. And it's not like you can perform a software update if you've discovered some inefficiencies.

This was ~10 years ago, so probably some things have changed.

What blows me away is that Amazon, starting out as an internet bookstore is at the cutting edge of solving thermodynamics problems.

What makes me sad, but also 100% unsurprised, is that this is exactly the opposite of the killer use case for LLMs. They should be used to summarize bloated ad-infested clickbait articles down to one paragraph or a series of bullet points. I don't want to read about the author's childhood, where the best place is to get the stuff the article is about, or some random anecdotes about that stuff and the author's unresolved childhood trauma that somehow have something to do with that stuff and something that happened with the author's relative(s). I just want to know what I searched for in the first place: how to do what I want to do with that stuff and nothing more.

Seems like an open and shut killer use case for sub-AGI LLMs to me, but also a nice thing, so that's why we can't have it.
No.

Pretty sure it was never like that, it was always gated by iTunes.

It was an integrated system, not an open one.

Definitely is today. It's difficult to copy mp3 files directly to an iPhone and play them. Even from a Mac, but even more so from a PC or Linux.

I bet less than 1% of iPhone and iPad users do that. They mostly pay for streaming. (Again, not saying that's better, but just that the general public doesn't do Napster-like file sharing.)
I don't think SSD cost is a factor anymore. I can buy a name-brand SSD on Amazon for $60/TB. 1 TB is a lot of stuff to download.

I suspect more streaming options is a big factor, though now that there are _so many_ services, people might want to unbundle again and go back to torrents.
Totally understand and the use case and really appreciate your feedback. We hope to resolve that in diff way. Just things kind of like truck vs suv vs sedan — we will just need diff form factor.

With this one, we really want to eliminate day to day use.

Fantastic! I love how we’ve been through the same stuff despite being perhaps continents apart.
Countries aren't monoliths though. I know there are great people in the UK, why should I hold the Brexit stupidity against them? We have our own share of shameful stuff.

Brexit made me terribly sad the second I heard of even the suggestion, before it won the vote. Then, when even the people who were against it just shrugged and said "politicians just have to go by the non-binding referendum, or they won't get re-elected", I was furious and frustrated. I spent all my resentment right then and there, screaming into the void. Now, I'd love to see this stupid bullshit get corrected, yeah. No hard feelings, no grudges.

Yeah. It's amazing that people in technology so often are unable to comprehend that the legal system is not a bunch of statements where debating the meaning of words or symbols or obscure things like rendering somehow are magic to bypass the law's intent.

> Copyright is a fairly ancient concept

The idea is fairly old, but it's current implementation in law is not nearly that old.

> that benefits normal people as much as it benefits big corporations

Clearly false if you measure that benefit in monetary terms.

>
Copyright is usually interpreted fairly narrowly, and doesn't prevent you from creating inspired works, or retelling the same story in your own words.

Absolutely false. You can absolutely be stopped from retelling copyrighted fictional stories. You can even be stopped from telling new stories with derivative characters or settings.

> Generative AI is a problem largely because it destroys these revenue streams for millions of people.

How? The restrictions on selling images of Mickey Mouse exist regarless of if they were created with or without AI assistance.

> But if we end up with a framework that maintains financial incentives to artistic expression, it's probably a good thing.

We already have that framework and arguably it is already far more restrictive than it needs to be to maintain incentives for artistic creation. Indeed, these rules now often limit new artistic expression or prevent artists from monetizing their creations.

The types of art that are helped the most today by the copyright laws of tosay are the kinds that require large budgets to produce. The types of art that are most hurt are those produced by fans who want to build new things upon the narratives in our shared culture.

We need to shorten copyright durations and expand fair use protections and monetization options for derivative works. We don't need to make copyright even more powerful than it already is.

Edit: If you disagree, I'd be curious to hear your answer to this question. A character like Harry Potter is so widely known that it is now a ubiquitous part of our culture. To incentive new novels, what is the minimum duration we need to give J K Rowling control of who is allowed to write stories about this cultural touchstone?

This trick is particularly useful for rendering things that have somewhat of a hierarchy, but aren't implicitly hierarchal. Like a table of contents for a HTML page, targeting the various header (h1-h6) elements. They're not (generally) descendents of each other, and parsing them is simpler to just go as a list of items with a depth.

"Gig work" when dependent on a single major market mediator, such as Uber, Door Dash etc. is clearly a form of masked employment, your criteria notwithstanding.

The fundamental feature of freelance work is that you get your own customers and you are not dependent on a market maker who cuts you in.

Some of the other criteria seem arbitrary. Of course companies want to pay their employees per task, only if a customer is present, they love zero cost employees that are available as a reserve workforce to pick up any sudden demand. A monthly base salary is a labour protection for the employee, forcing the employer to take the business risk and distribute revenues from the peak times to the slow times, ensuring a stable revenue for their workforce.
The law doesn't allow the operation of a motor vehicle if you're drunk or intoxicated. Why would the law allow the use of this device in those circumstances. Without too much thinking, there are plenty of reasons there many be legal restriction on this. Keep in mind that alcohol is involved in 40% or more of suicides.

People usually think that they are acting with a sound mind, and in their own interests. Except that they often are not. This is ok when the consequences are less grim than death or permanent disability.

People get confused, depressed, angry, drunk, high, or even have a psychotic break.

> There are no labour shortages that justify 750k immigrants in a single year.

Actually, yes. There was a very severe reduction in labour market participation due to the pandemic. The reasons for this are complex, varied and in many ways the fault of the government, but the upshot is that we lost ~700,000 employees from the labour market over the course of 2021/22. Job vacancies have declined sharply since mid-2022, but we still have about 150,000 more vacancies than we did pre-pandemic.

In comparison to what and how?

It really doesn't matter how fast you replace the air. If you let in the cold air then you need to warm it up.

What you actually do is a compromise between energy conservation and properly ventilated room as for the morning the room will be filled with high concentration of CO2 and humidity (from your breathing and sweating) and you more than often end up with bad sleep and headache.

Constant proper mechanical ventilation is the key for better sleep and health when windows are goods as German windows (some other European countries make good windows too).
