The Supreme Court settled it in 2017 actually - surcharges are fine now:

They basically said a surcharge for credit is effectively the same thing as a discount for cash, and because of freedom of speech, merchants are free to communicate the difference to their customers either way.
Right on. These days my llm-assisted workflow feels very similar to the 20% of my day that I used to devote to code review, just now it’s more like 60% of my day.

It's the "good ads" argument -- this machine can guess your age/gender and offer up items most purchased by your demographic, all the while feeding that data back to the vendor. Who wouldn't love that? :-/

More seriously, this has been a standard capability in vending machines, fast food menu systems, and digital signage in general for over a decade. Check out this ad from 2012 for Intel's AIM Suite for an example of how this stuff is pitched: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KdMIp2vQjG8

I couldn't find more through Kagi. I could do a search through LexisNexis or another tool that indexes a bunch (_not all_) of the ordinances but it's more time than I want to spend right now.

You'd be surprised what is allowed and not allowed by ordinances, it's very locale specific too. I tried living in a tiny home and it very much broke many ordinances.
Just make ci releases with daily updates. Good luck reverse engineering and auditing that.

If the protocol is not open, you have to rely in the clients provided by the vendor, and you can slip a backdoor throigh easily.

It would be great to have the data cleaned up a bit more. For example Nvidia chips are at least 5 items and not all of them start with N. That makes them hard to find.

Agile seems to have ended up as a way for PMs to report upward to senior managers who also need to report upward.

You can see why. These people have to decide what will be worked on out of all the potential things that can be worked on. Someone has to make that decision. Will this feature make us money? What about that bit of work that doesn't add a feature but reduces resource costs? What about tech debt that I'm told is building up and slowing the ability to deliver features?

I'm not a senior manager, but ultimately someone up the chain is responsible for the company surviving and making money and paying our salaries. They are just like you and I, trying to make decisions based on what little information that can glean. So part of that is "what will this cost and how much will it be worth" vs "what will that other thing cost and how much will it be worth".

To that end, they need some way to estimate this. They latched on to agile as it was being promoted by tech as a way to do this. Whose fault is that?

And so with that came all the frequent estimations, are we on track, rituals, etc. Some people don't believe this should naturally follow. I agree. But somehow all those rituals have become part of the cult.

We abondanded scrum. We abandoned refinements and estimation of stories and story points etc. Now we meet with a PM once a month formally and as a team perform a t-shirt size estimate on where we are. Otherwise we update her as frequently as she asks (which isn't often) or we want. This gives power to us but because of that we're conscientious and make sure to inform her timeously when things are looking sketchy or whatever. Yes, we still have to give "estimates", because ultimately, senior management want to make decisions, but it is otherwise quite lightweight.

It is so liberating.

Well that is embarrassing.
I think search is the wrong lens to look at it. Yes, finding relevant information quickly is important, but the key to enterprise search tools would be to get a holistic view around any topic. A typical enterprise has a lot of silos (12 out of top 15 enterprise apps on G2 are addressing this problem) and the flow of information doesn't exist. Any enterprise search tool helps in aggregation and triangulation of conversations/knowledge from various sources, helping any user get the sense of 1/ what is the current state of this topic? 2/ how did they get to this state? (you would have guessed it, you need a knowledge graph for the product to work well)

(Disclaimer: we started with enterprise search too, and now we think a custom model is a better way to get to those goals) Also, the output needs to be integrated into their own workflows. Eg: Seeing a conversation on slack and using a bot fetch all the supplemental information to understand the context from say mail, docs etc. is mighty useful. Search using RAG is the easy part, the hard part is contextualizing it in a way it is immediately useful. That depends on understanding the company/domain lingo, understanding users, etc.

Private aspect is a bad UX but not a bottleneck. Remember, this is targeted towards power users looking to use it on a daily basis. Connecting the bot once to get started is fine as long as it adds value. If anyone offers data governance along with it (updating access on a daily basis and answers only from access), it could be a huge hit.

I think this sentiment is wrong.

The reason we don't have free tax preparation software (or a tax system that doesn't require that) and don't have free health care is because of competence issues. Taxes seems like a different dimension of problem, so let's leave it aside for the moment. Do we really believe that the people that work in the government here (in the US) are actually competent enough to administer a public health care system? I don't. I'd like to be convinced otherwise. Maybe you mean to say that we'd, I don't know, outlay lobbying and redirect that economic activity toward paying market salaries to people who are, in fact, competent enough to administer a public healthcare system.

SpaceX launches keep exploding and to be compliant with Nasa requirements they need to start launching about now (they need a lot of successful launches not too close together)

They proposal also requires dozens of in orbit refils and was rashly awarded in very sketchy circumstances by a NASA executive that now works for spaceX

(NASA was supposed to award 2 contracts for X billion dollars, the new budget has only ~200 million dollars so the executive calls spacex to have them ask a lower price)

Overall my impression is that SpaceX/Musk lives on hype ("Success maybe, Excitement guaranteed" cit Musk) While Blue Origin is trying to build something solid slowly (having infinite money helps...)

I do not mean this as a criticism of Musk (the original video is quite scathing). For a good representation of my personal opinion of Musk I would point to the Slate Star Codex review of his biography https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-elon-musk

If it's an ordinance and someone complains (or it's one of those narc-y townships using satellite imagery and drone enforcement) then you get an inspection. If you're found in violation you'll get an enforcement notice.

It's the one reason I am so nervous about who my neighbors are when doing anything "weird" on a property. The township, city, county, state, whatever jurisdiction it falls under _will_ handle it.
I would hope you just partner with the open source Bloop AI for that :)
I’m thinking something more along the lines of “expedite business growth by taking VC money”.
Its tricky to get credit when your skills are x10 or higher compared to your team. 2 companies ago, a team of 40 engineers took 4 years and $29M to do a generation product update. The next company I worked for took $1M 5 engineers and 2 years (product from scratch). My current company I did the whole thing myself in 14 months (@ < $0.5M), basically on autopilot. Unfortunately, the stakeholders are unaware that they got enormous value by being lucky of hiring the right person for the project. And I still fight management/budget constraits and hot headedness. Almost enough to drive me to next employer.
Occasionally I find GPT4 will blur a response indicating it's reproduced from a specific source and will ask me to rephrase my request/question.

So at least OpenAI has some safeguard in place to not do that. Have no clue how that behavior is determined or whether or not other providers do similar.

I don't work on the machines but I can provide you an example on why this wouldn't even work for simple machines like CNC machines. You could tell the machine for instance to move the drill out of boundaries, too hard, run it into a wall... All things that you can't catch with a software only unit test because the machine you're sending commands to doesn't really have any idea what else is going on in the space within it. So you can give it commands which are fine software wise but once they reach the real world, they can break stuffm

Many credit cards give 2% cash back, so they'd be operating at a loss. I'm quite sure credit card companies will never operate at a loss, so that can't be.

Even if you model them as the most extreme conceivable woke boogeymen, surely they wouldn't want a scenario where the diversity programming produced a result that they would consider more insulting to minorities than the one that would have been produced without it.
It's the taking engineers out of retirement that's deindustrialization. A properly industrialized nation would have an active program with educators in the prime of their career to do the educating, and not need to pull someone out of retirement because there wasn't a need for them to train their replacements until after they'd retired.
Hmm, this would also imply they would need more infrastructure at their side when they could just maybe use cached values stored locally.

This is incredibly rude, irrelevant (I could not find your claim anywhere in the article posted) and not the way to behave on Hacker News. "Be kind. Don't be snarky." Please be better.
Japan famously privatized it's trains/subways. They're now considered best in the world. They appear to have made it a positive feedback loop by letting the train companies own land and business near tracks so that over time, every station is a mini shopping center owned by the train company. Several train companies also run grocery stores at nearly every station. Some run office buildings, department stores, and apartments near the stations. All this means more riders and more riders = more customers for the other business.

Show HN: emacs-ssg file-based routing site generation with and without Emacs
Emacs' org-mode is great to write documents (.org files, similar to .md) and export them to HTML.

It is also practical to evaluate and export "code blocks", like "notebooks" would do (observable framework, jupyter, mdx etc.).

With emacs-ssg, we don't have to use emacs to write the document, but in the background it is used to evaluate the files and produce the HTML result in a `./public` folder.

With `npm create @sctlib/emacs-ssg` we get the textual list of the few steps it takes to install and publish a project with content.

This project is mainly a wrapper around emacs and org-mode, to allow usage in the npm ecosystem and ways of publishing websites and pages. It tries to add nothing but a formal way to organize content in `/content` for each pages and `/assets/{js,css,…}/` for the static assets.
If the company can promote others but not the one who performs enough for the promotion, then it's a clear signal:

Show HN: Kiwi – Extensible Real-Time Data Streaming with WASM
Hi HN!

I started building Kiwi with the goal of creating an extensible solution for real-time data delivery to end users. The recent developments in WASM/WASI have made it a great choice as a plugin model that allows for offloading of authentication and data filtering to operators.

It's not quite yet feature complete, but can definitely be run and tested (with examples). Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
> The merchant just raises prices so you can pretend like your points are saving you money.

No, you are saving money, because while the merchant raises the price to account for it, everyone gets the higher price regardless how you pay. At least with a card you can get some of it back.

(With rare exceptions, some vendors do give a cash discount. In which case I always pay cash.)
the checkout fallacy:

waiting in line compresses your perception of time. when your items are being rung up, and it's time to pay, your perception of time dilates.

i pay cash mostly. if i don't organize my change at the register, i have to do it later, which i'm less likely to do since others behind me are waiting, causing my next transaction to take longer.

i don't want to hold up the line, but i'm largely unaware of the time it took those ahead of me to accomplish the same task i'm sweating through and doing poorly.

what i'm attempting to propose via analogy, is that systems are only as effective as the amount of time you put in. if social pressure causes me to toss everything back into my pocket haphazardly, it takes me more time in the future to use those things.

i used a straight text file with my own format while i had my own business. it worked. i'm not a dev anymore, i'm a musician and booker. if i don't amend my calendar or text file or handwritten notebook in the moment? i'm toast.

the fallacy is thinking one system is better when any system that's not updated fails

The LLMs will read the actual source code which is way better than the documentation (as any iOS engineer will tell you). For private codebases the companies can provide custom-trained LLMs. Techniques like "Representation Engineering" will at some point also prevent against accidental leakage of private codebase source code.

I feel like a better comparison would be AC vs good quality house design, where we aren't so reliant on AC. AC would still be necessary for some people in some climates, but I know my rental in Australia isn't designed to withstand heat at all, compared to a rental I had in Germany. It's putting an expensive bandaid on something that ought to be fixed in the design stage.

Edit: For context I'm referring to "cheaper/better/faster production" having a negative impact of the quality of housing, which disproportionately impacts renters, who don't have the ability to improve their rented dwelling. Regulation is the only thing that will improve the housing situation for those born too late to buy in the current market.
Doesn't that assume the market is perfectly able to assess value?

As an example the market decided Netflix was a terrible value when they announced they were a video streaming company in like 2008ish losing around half their value. Except we all know now that was not a priced in moment.
This is kind of a problem with preventive ethics in general. It seems to me that given two bad choices, the best option is actually neither - that is, to prevent the choice from being necessary. To use the common example of the trolley problem, the best answer isn’t to choose one option or another, it’s to prevent the trolley from being about to run someone over in the first place.

Unfortunately the visibility of these non-events means that their heroes go unnoticed. Noticing them would require a fundamental reorganization of how we perceive time and the future.
