Well, that, but they also offer diversification. In general they will return lower average gains than the stock market, but they are often uncorrelated with it. Adding them to a portfolio can raise its Sharpe ratio (mean return divided by standard deviation of returns).

It's no different really. It's just the volume of manga is much more higher and diverse then American comics. She can't really know if she's interested if she hasn't tried it.

Though I will say manga does have it's cliche tropes the same way American comics do it with super heroes. If she picks the wrong book she can easily be turned off.
I remember when my buddy did this deal. Ended up the mayor at least on paper for a few days during the transition period.
That "increasing at a rate" vague phrasing makes me instinctively suspicious of abused statistics.

For example, suppose in 24 hours France's spending goes up +0% and the UK's spending goes up +0.001%: "Oh my god! The UK's spending is increasing at a rate infinity times more!!11"

The imposter syndrome comment straight up pissed me off and I immediately core dumped and killed the process, sorry. This “advice” (thanks at least for admitting you’re not qualified to give advice) was a very soft and ambiguous primer on being a bullshit artist.
This is reminiscent of the Hemming nickels. High-quality counterfeit nickels were made in the 1950s, with several dates but a common reverse. That's okay, except one of the dates counterfeited was 1944.

1944 nickels were made of a special nickel-free alloy for wartime needs, and they were distinguished with a large mint-mark. On the reverse. (Normally, coins minted in Philadelphia had no mint-mark)

Coin collectors soon noticed the "1944 no-P" and the scam began to unwind.
honestly, also this was a very poorly written message.

>When people design hardware, they do not think about security up front

This is a pretty big claim that is easily disproven. The way new features are secure will be a part of the design. The overal security model is figured out ahead of time. There are plenty of existing work to reference.
I don’t get many calls, but a LOT of whatsapp messages. What i usually do is ask them if they know how to trade crypto and if they want to 10x their money - they quit immediately.

Related, a close friend of mine was looking for jobs and in a moment of desperation he got prayed on by someone asking all their personal information. No follow up. Not sure what the end game is there, however it might turn ugly.

I find your strategy - putting them off foot - is a very good deterrent and an effective way to get rid of most scammers quickly.

I am incredibly fascinated by how scammers work and their inventive - many of them would be very successful in a corporate environment, they are clearly very smart and capable, you wonder why they end up doing this for a living.
>Point two is double edged, it also picks all losers.

Not really. Standard and Poors evaluates the top 500 on a quarterly basis. The losing stocks are naturally purged from such index funds on a regular basis.
I don't understand this particular criticism of C++, and I generally think there are a lot of legitimate criticisms of C++. Yes, the language spec has become complicated. But you don't have to use every single feature in the language. As the slogan goes, if you don't use it, you don't pay for it.

I find that the style I like best is what John Carmack calls "C flavored C++". To me this means plain structs and functions, references instead of pointers when appropriate, and conservative use of: templates, constexpr, operator overloading, strings, vectors, threads, and synchronization primitives. This subset of the language is relatively easy to learn and pleasant to use. Still, I will have no problem jumping ship to one of the newer C++ replacement languages when one that I like becomes mature enough.
I agree; I've really tried to find a phone that isn't "modern" but has the features I need and want..has to be able to make phone calls, encrypted messaging of some form, GPS and NFC payments while not being beholden to G/A/M. I've yet to find that so I still look. Currently use Graphene on an older pixel but it lacks NFC payment ability.
The Walt Disney Company does. I realize the shorthand is valid, but it just reads like Walt is still alive. I guess I’m being pedantic for my own sake…
It’s a bit sad that he doesn’t even attempt introspection on employees having any access to customer data whatsoever. I fully understand this is a normal situation, and that every function will puke all over the suggestion that they can do their jobs without access to customer data. But they can. It’s more difficult, yes. But it’s possible (I know, I’ve run this way in the past). Particularly in Carta’s business this should be on the table — zero internal access to the data. Period.
You've always been able to file your taxes freely.
My biggest problem is the IRS already knows what I owe, with the exception of a few small things. So why do I have to go through the process of telling them what I think I owe.
ChatGPT has been similarly helpful for working with xcb/xlib and teasing out the arcane bits of X11. I don’t know how anybody had the patience to sift through the scattered writings on those things before… maybe I just don’t know where to look but I find it much more challenging to dredge up info for than anything related to Apple platform development.
Being even more pedantic, he maybe still is, by some definition.
LLMs are fossilized intelligence. It takes a lot of energy to train them and have them learn new things (Calling RAG learning is like saying a human has memory because they have access to Google).

Therefore it is limited. It might do AGI in a universe where we could harness unlimited energy and create unlimited matmul compute. But if it needs to run on 3 square meals a day it doesn’t have much hope!
My understanding is this is why some old TV shows aren’t streaming despite interest.

“WKRP in Cincinnati” has so much music in the episodes that the licensing costs to stream it today would be prohibitive.
IANAMM (market mover) but my understanding of hedge funds is that their purpose is principal preservation not growth. When you have a billion dollars to invest, your investments begin to distort markets. Small investors benefit most from the index fund strategy, but it doesn't work as well for institutional investors and wealthy family offices.

Now, I'm sure there are a lot of hedge funds who promise market-beating returns to less savvy investors, who are just cashing in on to the cachet of the industry.
It was a bit of a lost decade for hedge funds.

The thing is though that those dependencies are part of your code. Seeing how they're changing through PRs and commits is actually a feature IMHO and not a bug.

I just wish the de facto standard framework, ASP.net core, was more of a batteries included kind of thing.

Diving into an ASP.net application not written by you is frustrating because it’s almost like its own framework you need to learn.
I like the idea, but the terminology “antilibrary” really bothers me. It isn’t in any way a negation, inverse, opposite or dual of a library.

If you think about a traditional communal library, it will have many titles. Some you may have read, others you have not.

So this feels more of a cache hierarchy. You have many books you haven’t read, or at least fully internalized. The books you have read and internalized are in your head, and you can opt to not retain the physical instantiation if you are confident they will stay in cache.
Thanks so much for the suggestion and checking me out.

I think for Read it makes a ton of sense to be able to provide a key to only get that specific key from your dataset.

I could add support for allowing you to use your token in the url to avoid headers, but to be very clear that token should NEVER be exposed to other users or to the public, that token isn't changeable, and if another user has it they can modify your dataset. Maybe I could add read only tokens at some point?

With your exact URL above, are you proposing the ability to Write data from the browser? I see you're providing a value so it lead me to believe you're suggesting writing a key/value pair with your token from the browser

I find computer scientist, Les Earnest to be an interesting, thoughtful and entertaining writer. After he moved to Virginia in the early sixties, he started self-identifying as “Mongrel” rather than allow himself to be classified by any one meaningless and not-very scientific concept of “race”.

> in 1966 I discovered that something very good had happened: the race question had disappeared from the security clearance form. In fact, this question disappeared from nearly all government forms then. I liked to think I helped that change along.

> I have argued that all historical and present racial and ethnic classification systems for individuals are nonsensical and so are the laws, court decisions, computer applications, and bureaucratic superstructures that have been built on top of them.

For more context, I’d recommend checking out the author’s bio at https://web.stanford.edu/~learnest/ – which includes a relevant photograph of the man himself.
I have to be honest, I don't really understand the appeal of the "dumb" part. You can just buy an android/apple phone and... only install the few apps you want to use. You don't need to go out of your way to buy a device that's incapable of more.

It seems like a lot of these phones have physical keyboards or are just more compact than the average phone too though - I see how that could be appealing.

I'd suggest using a cloud VM with a GPU attached. For normal stuff like LLM inference, I just rent an instance with a small (cheap) GPU. But when I need to do something more exotic like train an image model from scratch, I can temporarily spin up a cluster that has high-end expensive A100s. This way I don't have to invest in expensive hardware like an M3 that can still only do a small part of the full range.
Never underestimate human stupidity!

Ask HN: Managing Entitlement/Billing with Feature Flags – Pros and Cons?
Hello HN community,

I'm currently exploring the idea of managing entitlements and billing systems using feature flags, and I'm curious to hear from others who have experience in this area.

For those unfamiliar, feature flags (or feature toggles) are a powerful technique in software development that enables teams to modify system behavior without changing code. They can be used to turn features on or off, or to manage access to particular functionalities, often used in a variety of scenarios including A/B testing, canary releases, and more.

I'm particularly interested in how feature flags can be applied to manage entitlements and billing systems. This approach seems to offer a high degree of flexibility and control, allowing for easy adjustments and experimentation. However, I'm also aware that there might be potential drawbacks or challenges associated with this method.

Here are some specific points I'm hoping to discuss:

- Implementation Complexity: How complex is it to implement feature flags in the context of entitlements and billing systems? Are there any specific tools or platforms you would recommend?

- Flexibility vs. Security: While feature flags seem to offer flexibility, I wonder about the security implications. How do you ensure that the system remains secure, especially when dealing with sensitive billing information?

- Performance Impact: Do feature flags have any significant impact on the performance of the entitlement or billing systems?

- Real-world Experiences: I'm particularly keen to hear about real-world experiences. Have you found this approach to be beneficial in your projects? What specific advantages have you noticed? Conversely, what are the biggest challenges or downsides you've encountered?

- Best Practices and Pitfalls: If you've successfully implemented this system, what best practices can you share? Alternatively, are there any pitfalls or common mistakes to avoid?

I believe this discussion could be beneficial for many in the community who are considering or already working with similar systems. Your insights and experiences would be incredibly valuable and greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to an engaging and informative discussion!

Thank you!
Be careful: are we talking about The Industrial Revolution, or later copy-cats?

Unlike the inventions of agriculture which happened multiple times independently, The Industrial Revolution happened only once and then spread.

It's still debated amongst historians and economists what factors caused The Industrial Revolution to happen in Britain when it did, and not earlier or later or elsewhere.

We know a bit more about what factors help or hinder copy-cat industrialisers. Just because we have more examples to study. You bring up a few yourself.

Btw, I never made the argument that you absolutely need a reasonable financial system to have any kind of industrialisation. I would argue that such a system helps with prosperity, but is not absolutely required.

(One good example that you didn't mention is actually the US. They got quite prosperous despite absolutely hobbling their financial system throughout all of their short history. See eg their bans on branch banking, and obsession with unit banks.)

But all else being equal, I'd rather live in a more prosperous society than the Soviet Union, which barely managed to industrialize at great cost and largely thanks to oil money.

> Maybe the fact that you need the physical, manufactured goods to live a comfortable life unlike 'financial services', that won't cloth you, won't transport you and definitively won't feed you.

Thanks to the division of labour, the tailor doesn't have to drive a car, nor does the bus driver have to make her own clothes. Similarly, people can work in a bank and trade to acquire clothing and transportation.

If they are particularly good at providing banking services, they will be able to acquire a bigger bundle of those manufactured resources than if they worked the factories themselves.

Just like the tailor can get more bus rides with less hassle by selling clothing, then by getting behind the wheel herself.

Btw, what do you have against fractional reserve banking? It seems to universally spring up in anything remotely resembling a free market. Systems with 100% reserves only ever exist when governments interfere, and even then only briefly, because they are brittle. See eg https://www.cato.org/blog/friday-flashback-state-100-percent...
Which is odd..

Rice - throw it in a rice cooker.

Potatoes - poke some holes in it and put it in the oven for an hour. Don't even need to wrap it. You can put some oil and seasoning on the skin if you want to.

Chicken - What is hard about cooking chicken? Getting the pan hot?

Not that hard to make those things taste even better too. People should really learn to cook. Pretty good for you and saves you money to boot. Given how expensive fast food is nowadays (a rip-off) you'd think it'd be a given.
Someone mentions temperature in the context of algorithms, can't stop thinking, cool, simulated annealing. Haven't seen temperature used in any other family of algo before this.

Different funds will have different mandates, but generally they are trying to beat their benchmark index and charge 2 & 20 for the privilege.

If they can't beat the S&P 500 which I can invest in with Vanguard at 0.07% at relatively low risk, then why would you invest with them?
Pretty directly testable, although I suspect nobody will test.
+1 totally agree. My fridge is full of healthy stuff, and my pantry has a lot of of this sort of comfort food. Every now and then that 'instant spicy ramen' craving kicks in and I go for it.
We should be happy that compute is once again improving and machines are getting outdated rapidly. Which is better - a world where your laptop is competitive for 5+ years but everything stays the same? Or one where entire new realms of advancement open up every 18 months?

It’s a no contest option 2 for me.

Just use llama.cpp with any of the available UIs. It will be usable with 4 but quantization on CPU. You can use any of the “Q4_M” “GGUF” models that TheBloke puts out on Huggingface.

Someone at the time had a CNC aluminium one on ebay for $700 or so. I thought "I can do that cheaper". I was very wrong. The actual parts weren't too bad.(I still had to spend $1400 on the cameras IIRC), but the number of tools I didn't own was a lot higher than I expected.

Still no regrets, I had a fun week of arts and crafts and got to stick it to Elsevier and other academic publishers :D

> Not if you price carbon.

That is just adding an arbitrary cost, so you can get any result you like. You can also put an arbitrary cost on land usage to make nuclear cheaper that wind or solar. Just a government doing its job, putting its thumbs on the scale to get the result we want.
Wikipedia is going to hallucinate significantly fewer facts than an LLM.

Great tip. I used this little project as an exercise to some of learn DuckDB and Parquet. Still thinking about the best tradeoff for file format. An extra complicating factor is that items can change after they are posted so to get the most recent data, it's a good idea to re-request at least some range of historical items.
Yeah I’m with you. I don’t understand what everyone is complaining about. There’s a few things that are undocumented here and there (IOSurfaceRef) but you can sniff out how it works with a little trial and error.

I often code offline with only the Apple docs as reference, not a problem.
In your experience, how could these local LLMs become snappier than using streamed API calls? How far are they if not? How soon do you guess they’ll get there?

I understand the motivation includes factors other than performance, I’m just curious about performance as it applies to UX.
