How not to fail when buildinpublic
When you're building and sharing your project (#buildinpublic), especially if you're working alone, many tech projects don't succeed because they lack good marketing and sales.

So, what's the solution? Think about the problem you're solving. If you really get what people need and have a clear idea of the problem, you've hit the jackpot. That's called finding a "product-market fit."

Now, as you work on your project, pay attention to the fact that your main issue might be that not enough people know about it. So, as you build your project, also create tools and services that help with marketing. Make these tools for yourself first. If they help your project grow, that's a win – even if no one else uses them. If the tools don't work, try again. Keep improving until you find what clicks for your project.

Here's the big idea: Sometimes, the tools you build for your own project end up becoming a successful business on their own. But to get there, you have to be your own customer and really feel the problem. So, focus on your main project, knowing it might not work out, but also build tools and projects that help it grow. If the main project doesn't take off, these tools might become your main money makers and the core of your business.
> But as soon as there are any real conflicts of interest, it will show who is the real manager. And it's not the product owner or scrum master.

If there's a conflict of interest, it needs to be discussed based on merit, not based on who has the bigger authority.

If there's no agreement, it needs to be escalated to somebody who has the authority (manager). But IME this doesn't happen very often.

I like this model, because the default position is that none of the engineering, product, process is the "master", so you need to negotiate. If one of the roles also has reporting authority, that automatically skews the decision making towards yielding to them.

It's popular because it works. Though it's not like you really have to drink a gallon of milk a day, the idea is that you eat way more than you would as a skinny person.
Pianoteq by Modartt seems to be well liked, it uses physical modeling rather than samples. Ivory II by Synthology is also highly regarded. Arturia makes some very nice electric piano VSTs, and some serviceable acoustic pianos as well, but they do seem a bit over priced to me personally.
Oh you - fixed.

Users of "real programming languages" have peddled this narrative for decades.

They are so mature and everything JS is just child's play...
I know this is easy for me to say but I really want to encourage you and other hardware people to innovate on extremely cheap consumer facing commodity p2p/mesh communication devices. I've been teaching myself electronics and RF to try to be able to meaningfully contribute.

It's dumb that we have these super computers in our pockets with long range antennas and in order to talk to each other they have to go through central intermediaries and paid access.

I want ad-hoc geographically local connectivity without service providers.
Another point of clarification that is of great importance to the results, and is a common Rust newcomer error: The benchmarks for the Rust implementation (in the original post that got all the traction) were run with a /debug/ build of rust, i.e. not an optimized binary compiled with --release.

So it was comparing something that a) didn't do meaningful parsing against b) the full parsing rust implementation in a non-optimized debug build.
Can you think of my bank account having 30m$? tnx
~90Mbps? That's super high. Admittedly, I haven't been in the shiny round disc game for more than a decade and a half, so maybe they bumped up the bitrate for 4K content??? According to Sony[0], up to 100Mbps is supported. This is just way higher than anything I had ever played with, and find it difficult to think that HEVC would even need that bitrate. Seems like the same logic in using gold Monster cables makes the audio sound better when using such a high video bitrate.

"The teachers felt like curriculum robots—and pushed back. “This seems dehumanizing, this is colonizing, this is the man telling us what to do,” says Weaver, describing their response to the approach. “So we fought tooth and nail as a teacher group to throw that out.” It was replaced in 2015 by a curriculum that emphasized rich literary experiences. “Those who wanted to fight for social justice, they figured that this new progressive way of teaching reading was the way,” he says."[1]

This quote seems almost absurd on its face, but I've seen other articles that mirror the sentiment. Essentially, teachers didn't like the "robotic" and "dehumanizing" drilling in phonics, and some EdD's provided them with a comforting "progressive" alternative that was stamped with the authority of the academy.

First name is a locally unique identifier for some period of time (usually a lifetime, otherwise for at least a decade) until a child will change it for any reason (e.g. immigration, conversion to a different religion, gender re-assignment, a recommendation from a personal psychic, or simply not liking it).

But yes, it's not a true semantic key since the first name usually doesn't come from an immutable properties of the child, but the last name can be a semantic key, derived from the properties of the family (e.g. geographic origin, profession, hair color, look, etc.)
For those who won’t click through those are two decent studies showing there are significant negative impacts on children based on childhood exposure to unilateral divorce laws — ie at least one parent could have unilaterally divorced.
I was like those people when younger but when I reflect and introspect I feel the real issue was that I simply didn’t recognise the negative effects or take them as seriously, not that I could actually handle the poor lifestyle better than I can now.
> I have a 16TB server on which I have downloaded all movies with IMDB rating > 6 and a good number of votes

You do not have all movies >6 with a bunch of votes on just 16TB, unless the cutoff is like 100k+ votes and you're downloading 1080p max. I have a 73TB server at 99% capacity right now and I hardly have a movie library.
I haven't done any calculations (since we don't have any feasible crafts for interstellar travel that's irrelevant really), but considering it for a few minutes I'd say there's 3 increasingly likely ways around that.

1: Considering the amount of rocket fuel we need to leave earths atmosphere and reach the Moon, people have been proposing nuclear rockets to reach Mars. That's still within the solar system, reaching another star requires magnitudes more energy, even more so to accomplish enough acceleration to reach another star within a persons lifetime. Such a mode of energy generation not having an explosive failure more feels unlikely (thus making it blow up in a dock is enough).

2: Barring option 1, reaching fractional light speeds, would not a ship need enormously more capable shields than anything today to safeguard humans? The Tunguska event(3-5 mt) was at "just" 27km/s of a 50 meter object.

3: Speaking of Tunguska, even if the ship itself would lack such shields (however a human would be expected to survive w/o one), a ship capable of interstellar travel should be able to push out a rock and then accelerate it back to earth to create a Tunguska (or larger) event at a target location.

The core issue is the energy levels required(1), converting them to something destructive is usually within grasp of less intelligent people than those that research the advances that make them available.

TL;DR; quotes 10^20 joules of energy, as the article says equivalent to complete fissioning of 1000 tons of Uranium.
S3 Storage: Relayer, This Changes Everything
Well, a year ago I made Mann-E, a SD 1.5 based model which got a lot of attention from Iranian media.

After a few months, we just trained our own diffusion model using HF recipes and resources I could find here and our model has similar results to SDXL, SDXL Turbo and those "good" SD 1.5 based models. For internationalization, we translated prompts and trained model over and over.

We also added Meta's NLLB model to our backend to help with languages like Tamil which we didn't have enough data.

The website is mann-e.com. We're not supporting currencies other than Iranian rials, but if you want a premium membership, you can ping me in the chat or ask me here. I'll help you out!

Also, you'll have 5 images for 3 days. Feel free to make new accounts each 3 days

If you like it, I can make it like ideogram, each day, a few credits will be added to your wallet!
I’d be interested in a kit. Containing everything.

Any reason DJI products don’t make your list? Would have thought they are the market leaders, no?

I’m just looking to use it for fun. Occasional use. No vlogging or racing or anything like that. Thing is, with the many AliExpress drones on the market, I can’t tell what is trash and what will actually be fun to use.

Thanks.
It may be true but not actionable. For example, some wives may be happy regardless of how much their partners bend over backwards to please them. Their partners are then more likely to have a happy life. Or, maybe your wife will be miserable no matter what you do. You're less likely to have a happy life. This is why I believe the most important step in vetting a spouse is to spend a long time with them first, the longer the better. How happy you both are isn't likely to change much after you get married.
Thanks for writing the comment. It was my first post in hackernews and needed this encouragement to keep posting my thoughts and ideas here every now and then.

I was already starting the project programming. Will do ~50

I just had a conversation with someone who disagreed with me on almost every topic. When it was done I thanked them for disagreeing with me civilly.

you're obviously free to believe whatever nonsense you want, but it says more about your lack of social skill than anything approaching a truth.

I go to a D&D group with 2 devout christians, 1 agnostic, 1 atheist, and 1 hindu.

> Why should someone living in Indiana make less money than someone living in NYC for a remote tech job?

There's no moral reason to satisfy "why _should_", but let's be honest. A company with equal salaries regardless of geo is more likely to cut the salaries of people in expensive places to live than raise the salaries of people in less-expensive places. This is especially true in places where both salary and fundamental necessities like health coverage are included in compensation, like the US.

Such companies then lose the employees who prefer to live in expensive places, to companies who _will_ pay them more to live in more expensive places.

Whether accepting that result produces a more efficient staff for a company is the more indicative question IMO. Or asking why some places are so much more expensive to live in.

That's all I've got.
That's great, but you should realize that not everyone is wired the same way, and that's fine - you'll have a hard time catching me criticizing anyone's choices here. All I can really offer is my own feelings and observations as someone who's been around the block a bit these days.

> intend on having 6-8 kids that I will cherish even when they're adults

There's a wonderful Mike Tyson quote that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. I assure you that it's quite a rare individual who gets married and has kids with the intent of despising their spouse and estranging themselves from their children. Sometimes it works out, and other times it doesn't.
Amazing. Now it just needs a nice wood enclosure and matching induction charging pedestal. Kickstarter please take my money!

I'm talking about what is published on the GNU and FSF sites. Whether they still actively do it is an interesting question and I welcome your feedback, but I'm not spreading false ideas, and my comment is "education" about various aspects of licensing.

Mr. Hastings, is that you? The Netflix library has become so small and full of crap, that I find it hard to honestly accept that anyone could be satisfied with that alone.

Both of my grandpas worked manual labor their entire lives. One had Alzheimer's, the other started to develop dementia but is on medicine now.

Interesting thing to note, both were extremely intelligent. Seems like the more intelligent of my extended family were also more likely to have memory issues.
Haha, wow, I remember reading this when it was written. I do think it's probably a bit too cynical though, probably colored by the author's own world-view and personal experience. I do think that some companies are just filled with BS; don't get me wrong. But I think that there are also a subset of companies who are filled with people trying their best, but who are making mistakes and/or being incompetent in a way that looks like the active sabotage that OP is describing. I think when there's a power imbalance it's easy to ascribe every non-perfect action by people above you to be some act of self-interest, when in reality it isn't always true that everyone has a secret ulterior motive.

> From the founders's perspective the org is basically an overactive genie. It will do what you say, but not what you mean. Want to increase sales in two quarters? No problem, sales increased. Oh, and we also subtly destroyed our customers's trust. Once the stakes are high, founders basically have to treat their org as an adversarial agent. You might think -- but a good founder will notice! Doesn't matter how good you are -- you've selected world class politicians that are good at getting past your exact psychological makeup.

This is a particularly good quote!
I guess it “returned” a couple years ago, as discussed heavily here:

I'm glad this got thoroughly downvoted. That some of the things people do in Haskell with HKTs don't work as well in Rust is poor evidence that there are no good uses for HKTs in Rust.

Indeed, there are uses that would in Rust that don't exist in Haskell, like parameterizing something with a pointer type constructor (Type -> Type).
Let's play devil's advocate for a moment.

Reading used to be necessary, since most of media was produced in written form, therefore consuming any sort of media mandated the ability to read it.

In the video-centric world of 21st century, where most media is produced and consumed on television and Internet via visuals and spoken language, why do you even need to be able to read? What's the need that the ability to read would resolve that cannot be resolved in other, simpler and/or more rewarding ways?

There are some rumors that the lumber comes from tropical forests.
how many people think they're smart because they can point out possibilities that go against the grain?

It gets old, seriously. The sad clown narrative never implied no one who is funny is happy, get over yourself.
It’s striking that “in the world” seems to exclude almost all the land mass and humans of the world, and all the most populated cities in the world. I’m sure Bangkok is louder than all these cities, and I’d be curious about the pools of silence that might exist there. Those are harder won than a quiet park is a relatively quiet (compared to say Lagos) city in a quiet European country.
I wonder why all of troublemakers are not ejected from the system? You would think any "komsomol" types would be flushed by democratic system whereas they would be retained in assignments based system. Are there parents who genuinely want culture wars / book banning types deciding how their children study?
Yeah I hear the legal system is draconic in the UK for men. Men’s mental health in general seems like a joke in England. British TV: “men are four times more likely to commit suicide but how can they help women defeat sexism???”

It's also some real shady shit, requiring MacOS users use an unsigned installer package.

There's no reason it should require an installer package when it can be distributed as a self-contained app.

I'm not giving authorization to an unsigned installer file made by some anonymous Russians.
Carmack didn't invent it either, my physics teacher was saying that a lot 17 years ago so it's clearly a common thing.

I didn't get that impression. To me it's more about calling into question bringing up certain statistics when if you were to really make policy based on unbiased decision-making, then you'd have to ask uncomfortable questions just like the one you've asked.
You edited out their jobs, but I saw before the edit. Without restating those jobs I'll say that one would have had exposure to emissions from 2-cycle mixed oil/gasoline engines. The other would have had exposure to lead solder fumes.

If anxiety is preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep, I don't think alcohol is the right solution. Alcohol might make you fall asleep quicker, but it's invariably going to affect how you sleep, such as messing with your REM sleep, messing with your ability to stay asleep, and then affecting deep sleep (NREM).

https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/healthu/2023/06/...

I would suggest sleep specific medicine, like NyQuil, rather than alcohol, which will not only long term negatively affect your sleep but also affect other parts of your body such as your ability to handle stress: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3860387/

Thus, alcohol might actually be increasing your stress and anxiety levels over time, rather than reducing them.

Bizarrely, I found the book Corps Business, by Freedman, to be useful. It's about how the US Marine Corps thinks about leadership. No, he doesn't tell you to shout at people. But he does show how they lead in more difficult circumstances than most of us will ever encounter, and how they help people from wildly different backgrounds work together.

Speaking of learning from people with completely different perspectives, if you want to learn about public speaking, read Do You Talk Funny?, by Nihill. The thesis is that good standup comedians are the best public speakers, and that we can learn their techniques. Much of what they do well has nothing to do with being funny.
RLHF = Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback
In this case the person was missing crucial local knowledge about the train system that Google doesn't have and did not have awareness of the problem they potentially were sending me into - it wasn't about trains not arriving but which station was the best one to be stranded at if a train was missed. I knew enough of that area to be cautious, the hotel attendant knew less. Maps will often give public transport directions that simply are inconvenient because it doesn't know the human realities of a trip (changes require crossing a busy road, or waiting at an isolated bus stop or unmanned train station, or that walking one block over gets a better bus) and I'll always take a local's train and subway knowledge over Maps.
I think the only answer is that housing as an investment needs to be banned, it’s just too damaging. Not only is it making people poorer by the decade, eventually leading to a dead economy, it’s completely unproductive. Imagine if all that money were to be invested in business instead.

Awesome, thanks. I'm only versed in JS and Lua and all of my pixel fonts are basically glyphs on a big sprite sheet of 32x32 pixel grid cells. How difficult would it be for me to simply patch what you've started to work off something simple like bitmap data to export a TTF of converted vector data?
Airline Bankruptcy: The Determining Factors Leading to an Airline's Decline
If you were "deciding which application server to use", then that WAS "years ago" indeed! The paradigm shifted, from applications being deployed to a server such as Weblogic or Websphere, to applications bundling their own HTTP server like Node or Golang. This shift happened around 15 years ago. Modern Java development looks almost nothing like it did back in that era.

AV presentation is much better at evoking emotion chosen by the presenter and worse at conveying factual information that is retained accurately (visual presentation is obviously useful for conveying spatial relationships relevant for physical/mechanical tasks and skills, though, so AV isn’t uniformly inferior for things other than emotional manipulation.)
I’m really excited about all these studies lately. Lots of work has been going on to chip away at these problems and it really feels like we’re at the cusp of resolving a lot of brain issues. The blood brain barrier isn’t exactly as impervious as once believed according to another study I ran across. They used ultrasonic pulses to widen the openings and deliver that controversial tau protein drug and resolved a patients tremors in about an hour or two.

What a time to be alive!
Interesting questions.

> Will your next workplace value all the effort you spent that way?

I'd hope so - as it's reasonable to assume that a next role for someone already managing/leading would involve more management/leadership. So yes, skills/achievements/examples in that area should be valued.

> Are the servant tasks even what you want to spend your time with?

It's probably not for everyone; but if someone doesn't want to perform the tasks that (many would say) are necessary to be a good manager/leader, maybe they shouldn't be in a manager/leader position in the first place?
Usually the idea of marriage comes from a romantic idea of building something together with a partner.

If you ignore the romance, and only consider the practicalities, there is no good reason to get married. It doesn't offer significant rights or benefits and mostly puts you at risk and restricts your option.

Me, I've been married, and I know I'll likely do it again. Not for personal gain, but because I'm a fool who believes in love.
