Ask HN: Standard Founders Agreement Template?
I see a bunch of standard SAFE docs, Series A term sheets, sales document templates, but couldn't find a standard founders agreement template. Could someone link me to whatever YC or other accelerators use? Thanks!
This is pretty cool. I traveled to Patagonia light and often would find myself missing my DSLR. I only had an older iPhone 13 that had pretty good photos, but I often felt like I could have taken some good memories with a new iPhone 15 Pro with the telephoto lens. But cameras are already so good! Crazy to have this stuff in one's pocket. Young me would have lost his mind.
I am actually curious to know who does what?

Tesla and Panasonic and CATL are doing R&D on batteries. And Tesla and Panasonic are known long-term partners. So, how do they share the R&D? Do they research different topics (chemistry, manufacturing, etc...), does Tesla pays Panasonic to do the R&D? Directly or indirectly?

Tesla must have played a major role regarding battery technology. Other EV manufacturers too, but I suspect Tesla more than the others since they were the biggest player for quite a while (and still are by some metrics), have loads of money, and offer battery products other than cars.
> There's a reason every major OS GUI toolkit is this design.

Ehh.. the latest os ui toolkit is uwp which lost to react native (a im gui) and it does not look that winui3 will fix that.
Linux has two major gui libraries, both are probably only used by enthusiasts and not by enterprises which prefer to target react native (mostly for different reasons tough)

Drawing components won because the object oriented world of gui design sucks and because it’s hard to target multiple systems. All modern ui libs use a kind of immediate mode. It’s way easier to understand and you do not need to explain why you need to use mvvm.
Why would I be pissed about your "investment"? I earned * 9 with crypto, when I sold end of 2017. I'm at peace with that ( selling in that periods high) and shifted to stocks.

I'm just pointing out that NFT's, in a lot of cases, just point to an image on a website...

Why are you upset about that?

If you wanted me to be more specific, you didn't give me any details.

Now that you did...

How long did you have that "land" and what's it worth now?
This was a concrete example. I didn't know what "vanity URL" meant here, I read the concrete example, and now I do.
My first reaction was: "all of it, if one doesn't care if the model be accurate", and then I realised that for many thousands of years the most popular models not only purported to explain all of the world but even many worlds beyond it: realms of the gods, various afterlives, etc.
> some people had fewer than 3-4 hours per day to actually work.

3-4 hours per day? That seems like a lot to me! Looking at my calendar, I’m lucky if I get that many hours per week. (It’s not all scrum shit, but let’s just say between sync-ups, status reports, daily standups for multiple projects I’m involved in, architecture reviews, breakouts, etc etc etc, I’m lucky if I get a full work-day’s worth of coding done in a week.)

Plus - I don't know about your area, but every so often I try to staff a Django project, and people with more than superficial knowledge are like hens' teeth, so maybe lean into that.
It's more likely to be offloads and processing time - none of these have any of the offloads a regular network card does.
Even if the CPU can handle it, it increases latency, and with a single stream like this, that affects throughput badly.

At 10gigabit/second, with 1518 byte packets, it's 823451.9104 packets per second.

So in a single stream, you have to process each packet within 1.21microseconds to keep up

At 20gbps, you have 600nanoseconds per packet.

There are also almost certainly timing/synchronization issues between different stacks like this. It's horribly inefficient.

Network cards achieve >10gbps in part by offloading a lot of stuff.

Even if the CPU can handle the load, just going through different stacks like they are may add enough latency to throw single stream throughput off.

The posited reason of "not compete with network cards" is beyond stupid.
It can't because you can only do a few meters this way, max.

That's not interesting at all.
25gbps network cards are cheap and for a few meters, a $10-15 25gbps DAC will suffice

For more than that, 25gbps transceivers are 25 bucks a pop for 25gbps-SR, which will do 100meters.

With none of the problems of trying to use longer thunderbolt cables, too.

Intel's 25gbps SKUs are not where they make their money anyway.
Even technology feels a little bit like that. Anybody with moderate success - either as a founder or leader at a successful startup - seems to turn into an investor. Over time, the industry turned into an inverted pyramid with more money managers than operators. 2% management fees are easy money, and 20% of gains encourages gambling. So much capital burning a hole in the pockets of novice investors drove bad investments, and ultimately the most recent financial downturn happened as LPs wised up.

We glorify operators who keep operating - such as Elon, Zuck, and Bezos - but, few people seem to do it.

Long live the operators.
I forgot to mention... it was a HUGE deal when Jack came to visit a local GE subsidiary. Like Tom Cruise or the President visiting. People kinda worshipped him. He was Elon Musk for his day... but without social media or a focus on innovation.

Hydrogen in Transplantation: Potential Applications and Therapeutic Implications
But is that true? Or did Uber just buy it up to remove another competitor that might expand into delivering other things besides booze?

Let's not kid ourselves, these features will be rolled into Uber "Eats" soon if they haven't been already. The only thing shutting down is the overhead of running another brand on top of the Uber platform.
GE exported a lot of the Welch insanity. Anyone unfortunate enough to be forced into Six Sigma training will attest to the agony. This was through their own and licensed training orgs, their people who left to run other companies, and this guy, a sort-of Erdős-for-business that spread a lot of the frobozztik into other C-level offices. (No idea how much of it he came up with.)

They're still barely ankle deep in analysis to be honest.

Saharan sand has some not obvious from the outset effects on global climatic patterns (it's worth a look into).

More than 60 percent of the 1.5 billion tons of mineral-rich dust present in the earth's atmosphere comes from the Sahara. Individual dust clouds can reach a size of 500,000 square kilometers, an area equivalent to that of Spain. As these dust particles are only airborne for a short while, it's difficult to analyze the full extent of their impact.

https://www.britannica.com/video/179439/Overview-desert-sand...

How would a significant chunk of area under PV panelling ...

* survive abrasive desert conditions,

* alter local wind | sand movement patterns,

* affect other parts of the globe that until now had saharan sand as an input.
It's also often outside of your knowledge. You just too often don't have anything close to useful statistics which you can refer to. Say, replacing one message queue solution with another, because the first was considered - you may not know or agree with all the details - too slow or too unreliable. How does it help if you don't have enough knowledge about how often the previous one failed? The new one has better performance, but you don't have enough traffic to feel the difference - then what? All you see on the justification side is several logs where the error is present and maybe some obscure post on the Internet complaining about similar issues, and then you have a decision from above. And such situation could be quite typical.
Stable Canvas: A New AI Art Interface for Exploration
Today we’re finally sharing Stable Canvas. This is an AI tool we’ve been working on that explores improving the User Experience of using AI generation on creative projects.
Absolutely everyone (including the AAA studios) uses Dear ImGui for tools these days.

Retained mode is probably more common for user-facing GUIs, though.
Are you allowed to take hours of recordings of Sean Connery's voice, splice words into sentences, and make a radio commercial out of it without paying Connery? You aren't, but this is exactly what AI companies are doing. AI companies want to hide behind the fact that their splicing machine is very fancy.

No, but the death sentence of drowning perhaps should be given elsewhere.
Im just comparing the prices I see when I search ebay for "40gbe nic" vs "40gbe nic intel", making no effort to compare features.
To be fair, the audience here considers computers to output a black screen with gray or white text. That's 2D graphics of the most basic form.

Also, it's actually fairly unintuitive to even most computer nerds and professionals that desktop compositing, decoding and rendering video, etc. are all handled as 3D graphics behind the curtains these days.
Trends in Deep Learning Hardware: Bill Dally, Nvidia (2023) [video]
I'm self taught, started with IRC bots in tcl in late 90s and making websites with netscape and frontpage in early 00s. Dreamworks and Fireworks too. Got business degrees by mid 00s, but making things with code kept me going.

Got a US remote job early 10s (I'm in the EU), and by mid 10s I was called "software engineer" by my peers and bosses.

I have just fairly recently upgraded my LinkedIn bio from "Web developer" to "software developer", as I can't even call myself an engineer.

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing other than making a real effort not to do stupid shit (and RTFM).
Unfortunately that story didn't end like one might have hoped, the developer of Starbound did begin their next project using Rust but ended up pivoting back to a conventional C++ stack mid-development. IIRC it was down to a mix of difficulty hiring programmers with relevent experience, an immature ecosystem, and possibly one of the console vendors objecting to using a compiler they haven't certified.
I don’t know what current wisdom is, but when these were new they (eg This Old House) would suggest putting one at the master bath and maybe the common bath, then run one for the rest of the house.

Effectively daisy chaining two of them for piping hot showers, but still warm enough for the washer and dishwasher.

Pretty sure the deal was that none of them could really pull a couple gallons a minute at full temperature at the time.
It also includes the cost of Amazon Prime video content. I don’t know why he called it R&D.
Ask HN: We need better Emojis for AI, LLMs, and computer-related tools
The only emoji related to AI is the :robot emoji. Not only is it (imo) ugly, it doesn't represent what AI really is about in the 2020s. We need something that can stand for AI agents / copilots / ChatGPT / LLMs/ etc. Some people use the :parrot emoji (since some people think LLMs are "statistical parrots"), but that doesn't cut it either. AI is playing such an important role in our lives now and it deserves its own set of emojis.

On a related note, lots of computer concepts and tools don't have emojis either. There's no emoji for download/upload, social media, website, virtual reality headsets, etc.
i love how they went for something more plausible, and then still used 5%. Do they know how big the sahara is? Why not go to something like 0.1%?

We have only recently made each other's acquaintance; we are not friends (we haven't even shared a meal, let alone a glass); and it can't even presume to practise the same sports I do. What gives?
Dude, you made Hapland!

Hapland aside, out of 5 conventional sections - Executive summary, Education, Skills, Work Experience, Miscellania - you have only one. It's not clear what you are looking for, what it is that you know and at what level. Single page is a good format, but it's secondary to the info presented and it's incomplete.
This would also have been my opinion, computer science graduates should definitely be able to solve those problems in a few hours. The longest time to first solution this is year was something like 15 minutes, an hour or two for 100 correct solutions, so they are certainly not really hard problems.

But personal opinion aside nobody provided any real evidence that this indeed the case and only that is what I wanted to point out in my comment.

Isn't this analogous to Harvard Extension? People are particular about Harvard vs Harvard Extension.
I cannot recommend immediate mode GUI programming based on the limitations I've experienced working with egui (https://github.com/emilk/egui) in Rust.

egui does not support putting two widgets in the center of the screen: https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3211

It's really easy to get started with immediate mode and bust out some simple UIs, but the second you start trying to involve dynamically sized elements and responsive layouts -- abandon all hope. The fact it has to calculate everything in a single pass makes these things hard/impossible. Coming from a strong CSS/React background I find the limitation maddening.

... that said, I'm still using it to build a prototype UI for https://ant.care/ (https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants) because it's the best thing I've found so far.

I'm crossing my fingers that Bevy's UI story (or Kayak https://github.com/StarArawn/kayak_ui) becomes significantly more fleshed out sooner rather than later. Bevy 0.13 should have lots more in this area though (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/9538)
What if I told you that we lost the war to a flightless bird too?
My friend's company hires one of the big consulting firms every year to create a report of all their "innovative" research and development.

It's both hilarious and disheartening how much of a tax grift it is.
Well, carrot, celery, and cilantro (coriander) all share a common ancestor and it's not too fanciful to suppose that they might contain the same compounds that trigger people who have the aldehyde-detecting gene (ORA62) that is responsible for the dislike of cilantro.

There was a study written up here where the authors sequenced the cilantro genome and compared it to other plants, if you want to go down this rabbit hole.

Tobacco very rarely kills due to acute toxicity though. I mean, technically nicotine is a very potent and lethal toxin, but it's also so quickly absorbed and so nauseating that you have to go out of your way to extract the nicotine and take it through means that don't allow purging it from your body to even have a chance at reaching those toxicity levels.

In other words, hemlock and tobacco are toxic in very different ways and it's a bit strange to say one is more toxic than the other at all. Accidental tobacco poisoning is hardly a thing at all.
The article says this system in Vancouver has 300% efficiency, so seems like a problem that works a lot better at scale.

I find it really odd that the decision was made to store ints and floats as text in JSONB. It seems to defeat a lot of use cases for it as far as I can tell. There are few solutions for storing and retrieving/querying unstructured numerical data.

You said that already, verbatim.

Saying the same thing over and over does not help move the discussion forward, and is utterly pointless.

Starting in 2008 GM were dispersed $50B dollars. As of today there is still $11.3B outstanding.

GM gross profit for the quarter ending September 30, 2023 was $5.356B (so roughly $20B a year). Do you not think GM should have to pay back some of that outstanding $11.3B ?

How do you know you have a stable mindset? I've had very positive experiences with drugs but unfortunately went through psychosis with some weed about 11 years ago.

It's made me a lot more mindful of my mental state and I'm a lot stronger for it. I've become aware of positive and negative influences, where I'm being worried or too blasé, comfortable or not.

I haven't had mushrooms and I've heard that it really digs out deep things in your mind.
You can still use it! I keep an old ThinkPad X61 & T400 around with mini-Firewire ports on my MOTU 828 mkII interface. It is also a DAC over SPDIF for my much newer Ryzen desktop. I would like to try Thunderbolt to FW800 to FW400 adapters to see if I can get it working on something more modern, as I learned it has mainline Linux kernel support.

I don't really understand what the test cases will do? Is the code expected to already correct, and the tests are documentation?

If I imagine a workflow of

1. Updating some code (with a regression)
2. Running the ai to generate tests
3. The tests pass

How do I know that the ai didn't assume the regression is expected? Do I read the explanation of the test cases?

Kyoto is a uniquely good place for vegetarian food in Japan - there are a lot of Buddhist temples from which the monks etc. follow vegetarian diets, and the traditional Kyoto cuisine is simple vegetable-based meals.

For me, new phones are missing those features, wich were quite common a few years ago:

How this type of "credential" fits into the wider university system is a topic in the recent A16Z podcast Crisis in Higher Ed & Why Universities Still Matter with Marc & Ben (https://a16z.simplecast.com/episodes/crisis-in-higher-ed-why...). The pod goes into much wider issues that may be of interest to comment readers. Note I'm still computing on Marc & Ben's views and not agreeing or disagreeing but rather acknowledge the relevance of part of their discussion to this topic.
I love literature - there's something about the writing of a real writer compared with the rest of us slobs, it's like the difference between someone's functional diagram or photo and a painting by an artist. IME it's also by far the best way to explore many very human things (thus humanities), as Shaw gently and subtly - and so effortlessly and quickly - leads us deeply into these issues.

The unsaid tension between them, over commitment, devotion to each other - why not spend Sunday alone together? - and the fate of their marriage. I get the sense of people, or at least Michael, who is not really ready to commit fully, and the negotiated peace that Frances accepts.

Not the point of the story itself (which IMHO is to explore real humanity, not give pat, perfect answers), but I don't understand other people:

If something will make your partner happy, why not do it? Imagine how overjoyed Frances would feel, how special she would feel, if Michael responded - 'hey, if it bothers you, it won't happen again', and maybe, with a wicked smile 'but I'm going to need to look at you a lot more.'

And imagine how not respecting her feelings makes her feel - and it's every effing time you leave the house together, for the rest of your lives. Is it really worth it to cop some brief stares?

Is there anything better in the world than seeing your partner happy? Even omitting the feeling of seeing that joy, purely selfishly, what would make Michael's life better. I guess, in my reading, he's not ready to try it and find out.

(And any general statement must make many assumptions about the relationship. I think every relationship is unique and they cover an inconceivably - I mean, we really can't conceive of them all - wide range. It's all a bespoke arrangement between two people. Some are open, some closed, some long distance, some together every moment for decades, some passionate, some practical, some angry or sad or joyful or whatever. IME we almost shouldn't be using this same word for each one; it's like saying everything with a processor is a 'computer'.)
The best Onigiri are the ones that you nigiru yourself, homemade. Konibini Onigiri are convenient in a pinch, but they pale in comparison to homemade ongiri from some who know the right nigirikata techniques. Plus, homemade has way more variety, the choices of what you can put in them and mix with them are endless, furikake is great for making ongiri. I wouldn't consider it a comfort food, I think it would be more correct to compare it to the likes of a sandwich in many Western countries.
Since we premix the hot and the cold water and then spray it over a human body, 30% recovery rate sounds impressive honestly. I doubt you can go much higher than that even with the counter flow design they undoubtedly already have.
If you try to right size tasks, you can just count tasks instead of estimating them. This approach even has a catchy brand name in agile circles: #noestimates.

In every team I’ve tracked, the task count burndown velocity was impressively linear, whether looking at weeks, months, or years of data. I think we can thank the Law of Large Numbers, with shorter than average and longer than average tasks balancing each other over time. (We never bothered with story points, so I can’t compare.)
