When did the term "leadership" get this so widespread use in such contexts? I have studied and worked in universities, and I used to know the head of the department as the head of the department. Now in my last department the head of the department is "the leadership" and the bunch of managers and admin people around them is "the leadership team" and this is how they go around, introduce themselves and sign their emails. They radiate all the madness and narcissistic vibes that the author describes. And the talk has become all this corporate blah blah void of real content stuff, with all that jargon as if they forgot how to talk like actual people and as we have all forgotten what we actually do. It is all madness. I have heard similar from other departments, so I do not think we are the only ones.

So, anyway, when has the word "leadership" started becoming more widely used to describe essentially "management"?
The title was intriguing. The setup, too. But then another 3,500 or so words that amounted to not much more than a rant and to conclude with “see, I was right!” Author isn’t wrong to be upset with the sorry state of leadership in the business world. But it should be a two-way street - you get what you give and the tone in this piece doesn’t sound like someone willing to give anything, not even four hours of their already-shortened workweek.

I was happy to see the distinction drawn between leadership and management. Leaders manage but not all managers lead. Sometimes that’s just fine - a good manager who stays in their lane will be effective. Sometimes they will even turn into decent leaders without knowing it. But the ones who are oblivious to the distinction will probably fail in both.
Canon don’t really care about the same cine market. Their bread and butter is more documentary, indie and news style shoots instead.

They’ve never shown an interest in competing outside of that.
I came to post this exact same line.
Good point yeah.
CPI accounts for shrinkflation, so it's not hidden. Turns out data collectors pay attention to the numbers.
Radicle developer here :) And yes you're completely right.

The current state of key management has A LOT left to be desired, because `did:key` has no rotation and so if you lose your key then it's game over. We decided to go with something simple first to allow us to develop the collaboration experience as much as possible -- we're a small team so it's hard to tackle all of the large problems all at once, while also getting an experience that's polished :D

Key management and a general "profile" is high on our priority list after we have properly launched. A few of us think DIDs (https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/) are a good way forward. In particular, `did:keri` seems very interesting because its method involves a merkle-chain log, which can be easily encoded in Git. It includes key pre-rotation -- meaning there's a key that's available to help recover if something goes wrong. It can also delegate to other people, so you can allow the safety of your identity and key be improved by third-parties.

That said maybe there are other DID methods or other methods in general that might better suit. Or maybe we're able to build something that can be more general, and just needs to essentially resolve to a public/private key pair and we don't care after that.

Would definitely be interested in the communities thoughts here :) Or if someone who's got expertise in the area wants to chip in, hit us up ;)
Yes, there a lot more civilians killed in Gaza every day than you could fit into a school. What Israel does is much, much worse.
Ask HN: 57 sales totaling $1,539 for micro-SaaS? Is the idea dead?
Hi friends, I'm making a small web service based on GPT4 for non-English speaking audience. It creates marketing strategy for marketers and business owners.

4 years behind, 9 ideas with 0$ mrr, thousands of hours on my ass, living on credit, dreaming and here I have my first 57 sales (one-time payments) for 1539$ in just 2 months. I was happy, but not for long.

I learned an interesting detail, making the first sales doesn't mean that the idea will eventually survive and work in the long run. It just shows that the idea is proven.

All my sales came from non-scalable channels (telegram chat with marketing strategists). I started looking for the same segment online:

- Buying promotional posts on telegram.
- Wrote articles on local startup sites.
- Did search advertising in yandex.direct, google ads
- I did sms mailing.

Nothing. Not a single sale. Absolutely the same offer.

I have a question. Could it be that it was just a mirage? These sales confused me and gave me faith in an idea that is dead? Or should I dig further, test hypotheses, spend time looking for a segment?

Friends, please share your experiences. Thanks in advance.
RED, Canon and Sony's cine equipment fills different niches, Sony having the broadest spectrum in the bunch. They're an audiovisual company for decades, which can handle/design/build the whole pipeline from acquisition to production to reproduction.

However, from what I see, Canon is filling a very specific niche and they're good at it. RED is the same.

So, it will not level the big three "capability" wise, but Nikon will have a hand (and feet) in cine market, which will provide them great feedback, development avenues and some cash hopefully.

So, they'll be able to compete in one way or another.

Do you have even a glimpse of evidance? or are we speculating now? They deaths are published by full name and national number. Regardless, the masscare is ongoing and the exact number doesn't change anything. It's not like there's a certain threshold they aimed for.

It's disgusting that your first response to reading 30,000 people were killed was to speculate and try to undertone it.
That feels like it would lead to jail time, which is an even worse option

Your post is nonsense. I was talking about the Apple Silicon chips. Which combine all the logic on one chip. That means, they are limited in the capacities by what is put on that corresponding chip. Apple chose to put 2 display outputs on the smaller chips, and more on the larger ones. That is a conscious choice trading off chip area with other capabilities.
Could they have done differently? Sure. Does it make sense? Yes. For the people, who need or want more compute power and more capabilities, they have two different chip offerings in the laptops, the Pro and the Max. And in the Mac Studio the Ultra, which are two Max and consequently raise the IO capability even further.

And I have certainly not talked about any other platform, which usually uses multi-chip approaches.

I'd say the War of Independence is too early for that, at that point they still had the French, the Spanish, and quite a lot of the Native American tribes as relevant military opposition. Even the British were still on the continent as Canada didn't follow the 13 colonies, and war between the two did result in the White House getting burned down by British-Canadian forces prior to Canadian independence.
In that notice, they claim:

This is just false. The owner of the original Reactle repo (now deleted) was never contacted previously.
There seems to be some disconnect here with price reality, at least in the UK.

They say the BYD dolphin is $13,500, but the on the road price of the Dolphin in the UK appears to be £25,000/~$32,000

I guess they are pricing for the market, but if they sold these cars for the ~£11,000 (Dolphin) or ~£7,500 (Seagull) they say they are selling for, it would sell like hot cakes. Sure there are some taxes and stuff, but that can't account for a 250-300% increase.

As it is at that higher price, no one is going to take a chance on an unknown (for the UK) brand when they can get an equivalent model from a brand they are familiar with (e.g. Dacia, MG (even if MG is Chinese, people recognise the brand)). Amazon has ruined it for these Chinese competitors (i.e. weird unheard of usually random ALLCAPS brands e.g. BYD, ALOOPTI, DFFUTRI etc etc from Amazon being absolute trash).

I drove a MG ZS EV for a month or two and it was actually pretty good so it is a shame that the reputation for cheap low-quality trash is so pervasive.
Many eastern EU countries have lax forest protection

Hope this is getting fixed someday.
One, Hamas isn't doing this. No proof beyond the inevitable effects of fighting in one of the most densly populated areas on this planet.

Two, Israel is doing an incredible good job at putting the pressure on themselves right now.
After 30 years of being highly positive towards more women in CS, and only seeing a handful of actual good examples, I can't get around the observation that women by large can't be bothered with tasks where they have to go deep and invest a lot of time learning new stuff. I just recently had the example in my friend circles. She used to work in a different field, and decided to switch to working with computers as a new job. The original argument was something like "I know how to use MS Word, so I am going to be a computer expert." Then there were 3 intenships, which all ended the same way. And once she was asked to learn Python to do a little coding, she dropped the ball completely and is now trying to become a singer. No joke. And she is not alone. I would love to have different experiences, but anecdotally, females are not willing to invest as much time as males when it comes to tech jobs.
Investigating the suggestion you can fake photo-realistic computer graphics

> Attach a MacMini to a non-HiDPI display and you could recognize that the font rendering is awkward.

Ironically for "always expose relevant options through system settings" Apple, you can still access font smoothing via command line, e.g. "defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 3". You can use 0-3 where 0 disables it (default) and 3 uses "strong" hinting, with 1 and 2 in between.
Whenever you read "first" just add "with the special meaning of A,B,C" in your head. There was the first person on the moon, or the first person to run 100m below 10s, but for mostly everything else "first" is basically never binary.
Extension IDs do not change, in my experience. (I could be wrong in some cases, but I know for a fact that at least one extension I've used has been bought up without the ID changing.) It seems to me that if they did change, it would defeat the purpose of buying up extensions in the first place, because automatic updates would stop working and they'd lose the installed user base.

Don’t we pretty much have this via AP tests and SAT II Subject tests?

> over an academic career vs a big bang at the end.

I hate to say this, but describing the SAT as a “big bang” strikes me as funny. It’s a test of fundamental literacy and fundamental numeracy for well-educated people. It’s not that hard.

The catch is that the preparation that yields high scores is developed over years.

For math, it’s taking the subjects and understanding the fundamentals of these subjects. Sadly, overall math education in the US is very weak and very skewed towards males. Note that most Asians (East and South) that have to take the SAT or GRE tend to and expect to get very high scores — it’s just that easy.

For the language sections, it boils down to having read and understood enough high quality “high brow” content. This high brow content covers most if not all of the vocab, reading comprehension, grammar, etc. that are needed for the test. Sadly, most young people are not exposed regularly to this type of content, and they rarely read it critically if they do have access.

I’m not sure what exactly we are trying to finesse with your suggested changes.
This is the only real problem I have with how they handled the situation. But it's a big problem.

Whether or not these folks on free plans are ever going to convert to paid, they trusted PlanetScale to serve as a critical building block for their project/business. I think the least they could do is ease the transition by offering them a reasonable amount of time to offboard.

I personally would never trust critical infra to a company that has ever abruptly terminated a product offering with only 1 month notice.
In my experience it is the opposite, very few people qualify for "knowing their stuff well". Let me put it this way:

Successfully executing on something requires _both_ domain knowledge + knowledge how to execute things efficiently.

This combination is extremely rare, and I think survivorship bias that you mention mostly exists due to original business goals not being defined formally enough - i.e. people commonly valuing "execution as an activity" instead of "execution is getting from A to B". You can execute while failing many times over because you lack knowledge or understanding. You can get recognised and praised for execution because nobody bothered to validate that you actually got the result.

This might sound insane for the IT world, but this is how business often operates on a day to day basis - vague objectives with recognition for effort and process, instead of the actual result.

Which makes "knowing stuff well" an extreme modern leadership blindspot, in my opinion.
Gaza is among the most densly populated areas on earth. By definition, any military installation is close to civilians. Same goes for a lot of IDF, and every other military, ehich has bases next to a city. Doesn't mean one just can indiscriminately bomb everything and everyone...
1. Python 3 also started earlier (2006 for pep-3000 [1]).

Imagine this is a code library and I think it’ll become clear that while only uniqueness may be strictly necessary, inconsistent, undescriptive naming is harmful to API consumers, and to a lesser extent harmful to the implementers.

These are registrations, not documentation of independent usage, so yes, there’s somebody in charge, the IETF. They can enforce good naming, and do: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8615#section-3. They just apparently have either granted or grandfathered in many exceptions.
Couldn’t a dedicated actor use IP address or other fingerprinting techniques to do the same thing more easily?
It's quite a basic circuit board. Start with an Arduino tutorial to get a feeling of hooking up electronics (Adafruit is probably a good start), once you've got it working look up a KiCad tutorial to turn it into an actual PCB.

The trickiest parts here are dealing with the MCU (look for example schematics to copy, they're probably already in the datasheet), sourcing parts (Mouser/Farnell/Arrow are expensive but have good search tools - LCSC is dirt cheap but has terrible search), and soldering the PCB (stick with through-hole parts, if at all possible). You can get a bare PCB of this size made at JLCPCB or a dozen other places for less than $5 - not including shipping.

I think your product is validated.
The fact you weren't able to make any other sales might be a red flag, or simply a numerical issue.
Are you sure you were reaching out to the right people via the other channels?
Were those people ready to buy your service, right then?

You have a niche of marketing strategists, who are willing to pay for your service.
Marketing is harder than one can think, even when you think you found the right user persona.

Keep leveraging the telegram chat and maybe look at high-quality search intent (SEO traffic from Google), it takes time but it rewards in the long term.
Finally, an accurate portrayal!

Google has superb robustness and code quality, with garbage-level usability. Once you're setup, you can kick off many massive training jobs and compare results easily. However, getting to that point is really hard. You'll never figure out how to use the ML infrastructure and libraries on your own. You can only get it to work by meeting with the teams that wrote the infra so they can find and fix every error and misconfiguration. Usually, there is one single way to get things working together, and neither the documentation nor the error messages will get you to that brittle state.

It's near impossible to get a VM with a TPU or GPU attached, so there's no way to debug issues that happen between the library and the accelerator. Plus somehow they've made Python take longer to build (??!!) and run than C++ takes, so your iteration cycle is several minutes for what would take seconds at any other place. Fun stuff! Somehow it's still one of the best places to do ML work, but they sure try to make it as difficult as possible.

Wayland and the way some people and distros handle the move puts me off because they violate a core tenet of user facing software design: support most if not all of your users. Not just a happy path. Not a few either. It's _all about_ understanding that the job is about 1001 'edge' cases, not a few happy paths.

A mindset that says a piece of software should be the only option because it works for all your fellow developers on their standard Intel Dell laptops is not one I put much stock in.

You keep repeating this, but I don’t see how it is relevant. Apple’s rules are not relevant anymore under the DMA. Under the DMA, companies are allowed to set up alternative app stores period. It doesn’t matter if they violate Apple’s App Store rules prior. The point of the DMA is exactly that you can make your own App Store that doesn’t have to comply with Apple’s rules.

I can understand that Apple wants to safeguard their platform by requiring notarization, etc. But they are playing with fire here. One outcome of misbehaving could be that the EC will require full sideloading (Android-style), so that Apple cannot sabotage third party stores anymore, like they are doing now.
Thats the first part.

The second part is that you must acknowledge that it is JUST an abstraction, and learn&understand what actually happens.

"Massive conspiracy" is a bit of a straw man. Self-interest among a group of people with power can lead to convergent behaviour that is to the detriment of wider society. No conspiracy needed.
Going off on a tangent here, but there's an inherent tension to "make no claims without support" when support typically refers to citations. The academic literature has become so large that you find support for almost any claim whatsoever, which makes it possible to string together an entire spiel that supposedly builds on existing science but is actually completely unsupported and void of any argumentation. Whenever you read "Method A has been shown to be a great way to investigate B" with no arguments, no summary, only citations, and especially when those citations don't mention page numbers but are meant to support hyperspecific claims, be suspicious.
I am not aware of a single time that's ever happened.
This is really neat.
