I absolutely agree with this. Monkey see, monkey do.

I think the big winners who make it "fun" are the exceptions that prove the rule. Whatever they really have that leads to success (be it simply luck, timing, connections, market fit, whathaveyou) is a lot less visible and harder to replicate than the lazy, obvious stuff like "make the workplace fun for developers" which any wannabe can emulate.
Idea ... If you want to stick to a (late) 1980s platform AND you want to code in C without penalty, consider the Sega Genesis.

68000 CPU. There's a mature and helpful homebrew scene. Documentation is good. The SGDK devkit/framework is nice and gives you a no fuss pipeline from C through GCC to a ROM file output that you can run on any emulator, or actual Genesis console (flash cart), or an FPGA like the MiSTer project. 68K assembly is pleasant IMO, if you want to sprinkle in some of that with your C. And, to satisfy an 8-bit itch, the Genesis also has a Z80 CPU on board, typically used for audio programming. Which, by the way, gives you authentic 1980s arcade/console FM synthesis.

IMO the Genesis' architecture of sprites, tilemaps, and palettes is very sane and easy to grok (compared to, say, the Super Nintendo of the era). Also, flat memory model. Yay.

Hi! Thank you so much. I am using Spacy tokenizer with python.

This is incorrect. It's not cost, if cost were the concern we would not have recorders at all. Cearly the cost of a longer recording is inconsequential once you have agreed to install a recorder at all.

It is about privacy, it's easy to verify the history of pilot's unions concerns and objections.

It depends on the objective. You can test stuff like is there any set of navigations that results in an exception in the backend.

This is what Sapienz from facebook did, it fuzzed their mobile applications to find paths that caused errors and it would try to find the shortest sequence of actions that reproduces the issue.

Things on the moon are permanent until launching is 1000x cheaper. Even then, who would pay to clean up and what property rights are in play?

Lets stop polluting the moon with garbage to get rich people involved in projects (ashes of relatives, etc). Invest on its merits, not on some morbid ego boosting entitlement.

NASA and the international community needs to step in here. The moon should not be the trophy case of the super-rich.

Also these budget moon missions are starting to get concerning. What standards bodies are in control here, if any? The Israeli's lost one in 2019. It crashed on the moon and spilled a bunch of tardigardes and dna samples on its surface.
There's also the Stanford twins experiment where the omnivore diet is also very healthy.[1]

There's plenty of Harvard studies too.

There's an abundance of literature that meat causes cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc, but people aren't different to 50s smokers.

Seriously. It's so obvious that cattle farming is among the most earth destroying activities but people prefer not to see, because it impacts their life. Easier to she'll 50k on a Tesla to feel good.

Also, just to point out, I'm not a vegan, all I'm saying is that meat should be heavily limited, which is what I do myself.

> In this case nothing is stuck, ships are just taking a slower route.

that might be what parent is mentioning : this alternative route was sold to the news-viewing public as absolutely impossible and untenable when producing profit over time -- they were told that the suez canal was of vital importance and that trade must halt until it was cleared.

and now suddenly, not much time afterwards, the threat of violence has prompted the realization that there are clear and viable alternatives to the suez canal.

the 180 on the importance of the canal feels telling, but I don't know how. I presume it's an effort to keep public opinion from desiring a strong military response in the area. It feels like election-time stalling so that "Cleaning up the Red Sea" can be a political talking point during election season -- but I hate to be so cynical as to think we're ignoring a global political partner for the sake of a politician having an ace up their sleeve during debates.

What should I learn in tech?
I am going to have a month of free time in between jobs. I'd like to get hands on on some of the latest technologies. What courses should I take?
Protip: it's a metaphor
If you run an actual binary, the OS will not only cache the code pages, it will share them across processes. In the perl case, the actual interpreter is loaded, cached, and shared across the CGI invocations, while the actual script code will be cached from the disk, but each invocation will (likely) get their own copy of the code (i.e. they will duplicate it from cache when they read it in).

Finally, of course, the runtime needs to start up again, compile/interpret the code, and, finally, execute it.

A binary will have the fastest startup. I'm sure there may be things that could be done. I don't know if perl mmap'd the .pl file as a readonly buffer, if each invocation would share that file (probably), and thus prevent that initial duplication. Don't know if any of the interpreters do this. Odds are this gain is lost in the whole startup of the interpreter anyways.

Also, using a binary, by a similar mechanic, lowers overall memory consumption. Have 100 connections all running the binary, they all share the code pages, and thus only "pay" for their individual data use. Share 100 connections with an interpreter, and they each pay their own cost for the entire program file plus any runtime data. Again, not so much a problem today with our ample memory resources, and mmap the source may remedy this, but this actually was an issue back in the day.
Mysterious $1.2M Bitcoin Transaction to Satoshi Nakamoto Sparks Speculations

We have developed some insights at least, for example a certain type of algae fed to cows reduces their methane released by something like 80% - so mass producing that food additive, ideally in non-harmful way to environment like monocrops cause, and getting that distributed to all cows [which will increase the cost of meat, of the highest nutrient-calorie dense food possible] could be one way to immediately reduce CO2 impacts; but at what externalized costs, if you are taking away-reducing too much of a necessary source of nutrients and caloric intake for certain demographics - and maybe that is more harmful in the short and long-term than executing on other strategies?

The best solution, most efficient, and most harmless solution appears to be driving for abundance so more and more people have more money to pay for what's minimally necessary for products-services that follow minimally acceptable processes; raise the floor for everyone, but not while opening up major cracks hurting or killing off millions or potentially billions if a societal-economic systems collapse and ensuing chaos/disorder - virtue signalling it's for "the greater good" while killing off those who are out of sight and out of mind of the constituents voting them into power [assuming democratic-fair election process - even if gamed unethically to win, still needing to keep up appearances to their ideological mob voter base].

Ask HN: I built 4 custom products while trying to build a SaaS. What to do next?
For your context:

I am working on a Generative AI SaaS tool that helps to extract insights out of qualitative feedback data (e.g. Voice of the Customer Surveys, NPS surveys, Employee satisfaction surveys, Expert or Customer interviews, etc.)

My initial approach was to build a vertical-specific tool that saves a lot of time for a high-value-ad industry, so I targeted consultants. I was able to get a few paid design partnerships with consulting firms (commercial due diligence, HR, strategy etc.). I thought everything was going great.

Now, 6 months later I realized I built a more or less custom solution for each of these companies. It is I who became the consultant…

These design partners use and pay for my MVPs but I can’t seem to find an overlap to scale my SaaS product. I have regular usage and high recurring revenue per user (one customer pays $1k / month / active user…), but each customer runs a different version of the product, and they mainly use different features. Although there is a topical connection in the use cases, i.e. it is always qualitative feedback data in a tabular format, the workflows of my users are different and so are my MVPs. I have a hard time scaling…

How could I make one product out of all my MVPs that is also useful to other users beyond my initial design partners?

Is this a common trap? Has anyone had this issue before?

Thanks for the tips :)
Gary Gensler Warns Against Investing in Crypto as Market Awaits Bitcoin ETF
I remember from the arcade days, operators would paint quarters for testing so they could remove them from the revenue share numbers. Maybe this was a sort of shibboleth? Greshams law says bad money displaces good money, so a lower value coin would let an organized operator pull silver out and know their own. More likely just an error, but possible?
Chicago's Construction Permit workflow is incompatible with pop-up blockers
My wife and her business partner flip houses, in Chicago.

Their buyers prefer that work is done with permits, so they are getting permits for their latest project.

The city has a new, all-online, permit system, so it's easy, right?

Not right! Unfortunately, their current licensed plumber is unable to 'accept' the approved plumbing permit, due to the fact that the city's web application requires him to turn off his pop-up blocker to do so. He doesn't know how to do that and does not want to learn. So they now have to find another plumber and either revise or redo the permit, setting them back a couple weeks of time and carrying costs.

Yes, this is a 'people' problem, but it is also a 'not understanding your customer base' problem, in that licensed tradespeople aren't necessarily tech-savvy enough to use the new permit system.

Anyway, this is extremely frustrating for my wife, but I thought HackerNews might like it.

I think it's to communicate that even if you think it's not that bad, it's never good: A single beer every month probably won't kill you, but there is a non-zero increase in risk. By definition, any amount is a danger.

I believe that kind of communication intends to combat the more laissez faire "a beer here and there won't kill you," which glosses over the fact that, yeah, it probably won't, but it's also not without statistical risk. Getting rid of that attitude reduces the risk of alcohol-related health complications across the population as a whole.
The whole opt-out thing is such a dark pattern. If we (ML researchers) knew how to cheaply remove/untrain content from an already trained model, we'd say that opt-out without untraining is wrong. But since we don't know how to do it, we throw our hands in the air and say "well we should get a free pass on other people's content, because we can't do our jobs without it, because our jobs MUST be done before we figure this out."
I haven't worked in big tech but I imagine their tooling is really good for this particular stack. Internal expertise too for running into big scale edge cases.
I'm not sure I understand the metaphor. What is wrong with lasers? If they are pointed at your eye they could be harmful, but we don't have an 'eye' for the waves that are pointed at us, and a laser powerful enough to do damage to us for other reasons like heat would show likewise the same damage in non viewable wavelengths.

No one is contending that EMF waves can't harm people, since it is know that they can if they are of specific type and power. People are asking how it is possible the ones that exist that are of low power used for communication could harm some incredibly small number of people and not everyone, since it is a physical effect. If you flipped it and someone said they were immune to bullets, would you believe them?

I know Christmas is over, but my letter to Santa would include:
- some Anki sync feature (over an external Anki sync server or any other solution)
- a non-docker install guide
- of course more languages!

I've been looking for a tool to study vocabulary this way, especially in languages I'm already fluent in, to learn more nuances or specific meanings to some words. Having tried several things I settled on the bookmark feature of my Wiktionary Android apps (Livio's, which are nice), and a small sync/script chain that would let me review words, compare definitions in different dictionaries, choose the best and edit/complete it, and make an Anki card of it. The whole process was still tedious.
Can I Get into Tech?
Hi,I am really in a limbo right now.I am a college dropout due to personal circumstances(health issues).I am now a depressed 22 years old without solid skills that are typically expected of my age.
I can go either do some odd jobs all my life but I feel like my calling is tech and SWE as this is the only thing that I am passionate about nowadays.

I have been learning coding for about 3 years on and off and now feel like I am ready to be an intern.
You can review my some of projects below to advise me if I should persue finding a remote internship since they are pretty competitve and I feel like I have very low chances as I have a non-conventional background.

My github is https://github.com/Oreoro

I recently made a Chrome extension, pulished an npm package among other basic stuff(below)
1.https://simpletaskmanager.vercel.app
2.https://un-overwhelmed.vercel.app (Dont use this on mobile)
3.https://chatbots.streamlit.app
Source code is on my github.

Now I know this is not fancy stuff but I am willing to learn from an internship(preferably
remote).I just cant seem to have my door in anywhere since I dont have a college degree.
Hoping this drives down the price for the 7800XT or older used models in the near future.

That being said, these look competent enough, just stingy with VRAM still making them less desirable for longer use (4+ years) in either playing games or training models.
The parent asked why they cared, I'm not making an argument I'm answering the question.

My answer is that it's distasteful to them and their belief system / worldview. I happen to share the same distaste, though not on any religious grounds.

Who cares about Navajo tastes? Presumably other people who agree with them and would support a ban on vanity projects on the moon or who find it distasteful, like myself.

Share buybacks are a capital return to investors. This is a sensible and desirable thing to do in a lot of macro environments. ZIRP may increase the instances of borrowing money to do share buybacks, just like it would increase the propensity to borrow money to do any other valid corporate activity. There were share buybacks in the 80s and 90s when interest rates were quite a bit higher than today.

Adjusted for inflation, there were more buybacks in 2000 than in 2015 and interest rates were quite a bit higher in 2000 than in 2015.
That mildly-explosive missile has software running on it too. So do a lot of actual missiles, for that matter.

Great stuff:

- Brief. Respect people's time, and take a stand.

- Tailored, to solopreneur. It's tempting to be drawn into building beautiful tech, chasing resume skills, or building domain experience in crap work. Putting yourself on the hook of your own decision-making builds character.

- Refined: it's easy to go from bad to good (just smooth out the pain points). It's very hard to go from good (happy but free customers) to better (paying customers), because you're trading lots of pain for benefits.

- Timely: those are the virtues of 2023, of contraction (outside AI-mania), where you control your destiny as a solopreneur. If it starts raining money again, it might not be the right approach.

However, the most common measure of leadership is a success pattern in ... leadership. People can take solopreneur experience as fitting for product management and not much else.

To show leadership, you have to demonstrate decision-making under stress, where you identified the key factors and how to change them. That's a different post, one that shows how you sift through noise, excitement, and gaps to find the difference that makes a difference, and prosecute that.

It's possible solopreneurs can get rich, but more often success means finding partners, get attention or getting bought, or just proving yourself - to yourself and perhaps others.

Or, if you're really lucky, you can make a difference.

My favorite mental visualization I came up with: imagine driving from New Jersey to Florida (substitute with a long drive you had). Mine was about 1,200 miles which at 60 miles per hour is 20 hours. That's 72,000 seconds of mind-numbing driving.

Now if during the entire, exhausting, 20 hours of driving, you press a button, and it falls within the "danger zone" that lasts 15 seconds, you lose.

The above example is better when looking at lottery winning chances (worse than 1 in million) - where you can imagine having to throw a quarter out of the window, hoping for it to land within the proper 1 inch section of the road.

I like this example because it gives you visceral feeling - allowing you to think in terms of lengths of road or length of time to compare various odds.

The concise notation of vector languages is not just an affectation; it's a crucial property. Obscuring the notation with long names and "more familiar" syntax diminishes its value. Translating it into something "easier" leaves beginners unable to communicate clearly with APL experts or engage with resources from the broader community.

Imagine suggesting to a Prolog programmer that they make the language more accessible to beginners with tools that dynamically translate it into the equivalent Fortran, which is, after all, a Turing-complete language...
Only if it's equally applied globally, at the same time.

Otherwise currently, for example, Canadians are suffering with the increasing CO2 tax - while the East is skyrocketing their CO2 emissions - where arguably the majority of Canadian products bought come from; making Canadian produced goods more expensive due to the CO2 tax, making Chinese goods cheaper to produce - and therefore not only ceding power to China but also destroying more ethical production-manufacturing of goods here in Canada.
