It seems from the reading of this article that jigar is in on the scam. That said, I agree.
> But the problem is that there isn’t enough government money in the world to pay off all private actors needed to get to sustainability

That’s where governments can partner with banks. Take a hypothetical startup that aims to manufacture green hydrogen. A lender will ask to look at the cashflows, preferably under a base scenario and a few stress scenarios. Will the borrower turn a profit? Let’s assume it won’t because fossil fuels don’t pay a carbon tax. The government can offer to pay a green subsidy, let’s say of $2 per kg of hydrogen. Is the company now profitable? If yes, the banks will advance the loan, roughly speaking. Maybe the base scenario looks good now, but the tail risk is still too high. Then the government can write a loan guarantee, either for the entire borrowed amount, or for half of that, for example.
Does this architecture supports uvloop?
I don't see how people will start using a completely new way python is running.

If you are just experimenting and having fun, sure. But would you bet your company or many many months of developpement on this? What happen if you get random bugs?

The advantage need to be extremely high to make it worth it. Maybe for specialized work that need to happen at the edge and then, why not use js instead that is the bedrock of this implementation?

My masters in info science was not. I'd be farther in my career if I had just put in extra hours everyday instead of spending it in classes.
If, by that you mean:

1. The EU passed a law that was too complicated for its own good and...
2. Is a law that isn't practically enforceable
3. Lastly, is largely incompatible with how US public companies operate - welcome to Capitalism, it's how the world works...get used to it.

If market forces mean people either choose piracy to get what they want (Napster), that's one thing and regulation can help with that. However, the idea that you can't build a closed ecosystem that operates how you want - before you even get to shareholders in a public company - because this imposes restrictions on citizens, is a weird way to look at the world for a region that is - nominally - still capitalist.
This is a great point and I think the crux of it is - is ML going to be like the last crypto 'boom'?

I don't think it is. Investment is being made at an institutional level in a way that was not happening for crypto.

We are deep in the midst of the hype cycle right now, but if the hype pans out, ML will have a transformative effect on the tech market (or world for that matter) akin to the internet itself. In that scenario, ML expertise at any level will be a golden ticket.
Yeah, mostly true - though there are also French and various other fingers in the pie:

I've seen people saying rates are going higher from here back in 2022. While this isn't my base case, it certainly isn't impossible.
Ask HN: What's the fastest way to learn SQL?
I recently joined a startup and I didn't realize how much I would need to be able to write off-the-cuff queries to debug stuff. I came from a massive company where running adhoc queries was basically a giant no-no and never really got familiar with SQL. Any tips on the best way to pick it up quickly so I can start being more productive at work?
Isn’t the real issue here that ephemeral chat is a poor substitute for forums?

One had the idea, the other had the technical ability (even if they had given up before Jobs pushed them harder).
Some of it is propaganda, and some of it is a direct result of Tesla's design choices. It would be ironic if Tesla helped give EVs a bad name with novelty "features" like electric door latches and a lack of mechanical controls.

You got a lot of great responses to your observations around 4chan, partly debating whether it should be to blame for the growth of the alt-right. I think it boils down to one simple thing: 4chan was unfettered. Anyone could go there and do anything - learn to code, coordinate a LOIC attack, draft an Anonymous army, or brew an ultra-conservative movement. Those things will happen in places where there aren’t guards in place. The fewer of those places there are, the slower things on the fringe will develop. If an open forum is shut down, these things find new places to grow. But they won’t stop.

I am not entirely sure why you would want to switch encodings for URLs, personally. If you use alphanumeric encoding and a URL in Base36, you are pretty much information-theoretically optimal.
> The technological gap is tightening, Tesla was alone before, the same way that Nvidia is "alone" for now.

It's worse than that. Nvidia has a moat (deployed software and the open source software ecosystem) that buys them at least a few years, even if a well-resourced hardware peer appeared out of thin air tomorrow. Tesla has nothing like this. The cost of switching away from them is negligible, and they have half a dozen extremely well-resourced competitors.
Only on HN can a company earn a net income (that's profit mind you, not gross sales) of nearly $34 billion and be dismissed as a "joke."
I've been a CTO for several startups now, and currently am a Technical Advisor for a couple of startups. The best "non-technical" cofounders I've met are relentless negotiators and have that magic ability to sell. They can squeeze orange juice from a rock if needed.

That sort of people's skills is what differentiates a technical from a business person. I've been amazed by some of these guys and how they are able to get great terms from VCs, providers, customers and other parties.

When you are the technical guy, you want to make sure that your non-technical cofonuder knows plenty of negotiation jujitsu so that while you are working on the machine, he has all the bases covered getting money, selling the idea and getting other great people into the company.

One of my CEOs put it pretty bluntly: When you are starting and are just 2 or 3 people, there are only two roles: BUILD SHIT, and SELL SHIT. You necessarily need at least one person who knows very well how to do that.

Also, the CEO never stops Selling shit. He may not sell to customers, but he will keep selling to investors, government agencies, prospective employees or advisors, etc.

I also love when startups brag about headcount. You know what's impressive? Revenue, followed by profit, and also profit per employee. Having 500 people and no revenue leads to the graveyard.
I'm a big fan of proof of work for this usecase, personally.
I think this can be made much more difficult by enforcing a policy of open builds for open source.
It shouldn't be possible to inject build files from a local machine.
All build assets should come from the source repository.
Artifacts should come from Github Actions or some other tool that has a clear specification of where all inputs came from.
Perhaps Github could play a role in helping to automate any inconveniences here.
Yeah, there are a few comments like these now about how keto benefits must for-sure be a fluke correlation. Even though the submitted article apparently says otherwise. (On the other hand (comment says) my own anecdotes are rock-solid.)

It’s weird enough how all science articles attract but-what-about-correlation knee-jerk comments. But diet articles also seem to attract anecdote wars.
That’s a comfort to know, as that is precisely the type of project I build. I arrange guarantees for working capital loans to farmers which include in their terms requirements for a transition to sustainable agricultural practice.

But this doesn’t get around the problem: how to stop financing of projects which damage the environment? And that’s also the problem raised in the parent Bloomberg article. The usual response is that government must legislate to stop these businesses. But the reality is that governments won’t do something banks don’t want. That’s the Catch22 I described in my first comment.
I suppose it depends on what you mean as a growing app. A few of the examples (https://github.com/yolmio/boost/tree/main/examples) are apps that you could easily sell as a freelancer/contract work.

You can of course split up your system into as many files as possible, the emphasis on a single file is that now instead of your architecture, languages, etc. enforcing separate files and hampering reuse, you can organize it however you like.

I'm sure best practices will evolve overtime, but I've been alright with just a single file for apps in production (as long as the majority of components are made reusable)
Is the ML industry different than the rest of tech I experienced so far, in that they actually care much about official certificates instead of testing your knowledge in interviews or looking at what you did already?
Then I think the wording is a bit confusing for new clients. I expect, when you say that you can integrate, not that I have to build that myself.
We have masters in ML now, wow!
What do they teach apart from stats, optimization and linear algebra?
Yeah, my understanding is that it's highly undesirable to have no sense of self-awareness.
Tesla has the Cybertruck now (is it shipping yet?). People love trucks, so this might work out great for TSLA.

Here in Redmond, where buying a Tesla seems to be a rite of passage for Microsoft employees, I will often see three Teslas at an intersection (and maybe one behind me). The things are everywhere. If you've got a dead cat, careful you don't hit a Tesla when you swing it around.

And I've seen a total of one Cybertruck. Either not that many have been made and shipped, or no one is buying. People do love trucks, and they even love electric ones because I seen Rivians all the time (and a few Lightnings). But I've only seen the one lonely, butt-ugly Cybertruck.
Whoa, that seems like so much more work to manage and use than the current standard.
"Underwater basket-weaving" was a derogatory term for impractical university classes back in the 70s (?)

and Mongolian is a stand-in for mongoloid, which fell off the euphemism treadmill as a descriptor for people with Downs syndrome.

So "Mongolian basket-weaving forum" means "place for r*, useless people"
Can you explain more in-depth what you mean? I'm also unaware of how you could have declarative rulesets in a non turing-complete language.

Co-founders typically come from the same company, or worked together previously. So you "will" find a technical co-founder if you're a business-side person working at Facebook or Google. Just go to the coffee machine...

Otherwise, no, you're trying to find a zero-cost implementation of a very costly employee number 1.

This is WeWork level sketch: “ Canoo reimburses Aquila Family Ventures, an entity owned by the CEO, for use of an aircraft”

This is a PUBLIC company??
And if you did, you wouldn't be irrelevant anymore. I don't get your point.
> Under a deal reached in November 2020, Canoo reimburses Aquila Family Ventures, an entity owned by the CEO (Tony Aquila), for use of an aircraft. In 2023, Canoo spent $1.7 million on this reimbursement — that’s double the amount of revenue it generated. Canoo paid Aquila Family Ventures $1.3 million in 2022 and $1.8 million in 2021 for use of the aircraft.

I'm surprised there are any employees left at the company. If I saw that the CEO is actively funneling funds out of the company where we work, to their family's company, I'll be long gone.
Hah! Not actually a robot... but I half suspect I could convince the that wife a fold-out arm with a modest clamp (that could rotate a bit if needed) at the end would be worth mounting to a wall along the kitchen counters for holding/draining various containers like your first two use-cases.

why just this one? do we collectively have the memory of a gold fish? just recently, log4j had a similar blast radius. is it because one was seemingly malicious that the other doesn't count?
The math should be straightforward. From their white paper: $2.50/kg for H2 + $250 / ton for CO2 -> $10/kcf for methane. So we can roughly calculate how much of the $10 is H2, how much is CO2 and how much is the Sabatier process. I'd do it, but I'm supposed to be working and not confident I'd screw up the unit conversions.
#1 often comes from #2, or at least is much much much easier to do if you have someone who is doing #2.

Technical folks often dramatically underestimate sales for the same reason that sales dramatically underestimates technical folks - they require very different mindsets, and almost everyone is insecure about it on one side or the other.
No, it leads to layoffs, a statement about "optimizing operational costs", and a bump in valuation in today's weird market.
I'm not the author, but I think, I understand what this is about. It's the etiquette rather than the law.

This is about bad situations like... here are some examples:

* If you read the description of Wheel format (Python packages), the name of the archive allows one to include eg. build number in it, but states such packages shouldn't be released publicly. (I've never tested this with PyPI.org, but wouldn't be surprised if they actually allow such packages, because see next).

* PyPI allows uploading packages with non-release versions, i.e. X.Y.Za1 or X.Y.Zb2 or X.Y.Zrc3. That is the public index intended for production use allows non-production versions. This usually doesn't bother Python programmers because they rarely use anything other than pip to install packages, whose crafty defaults allow to filter out non-released versions. This, of course, breaks when easy_install gets into the picture (and that happens when developers run something like "setup.py install").

Now, where this is all going: the protocol for working with publicly released software should include the release versions (if you want to debug it, send bug reports etc.) This is to prevent from overloading maintainers with investigation of custom configurations and the infinite number of things users could do with the software when not following the explicit usage / build instructions.

You, among friends, don't have to follow the protocol, as long as your friends are OK with it. But, as a general advise, OP is right, this is how you behave nicely, and if you don't do that the users will be upset, and you'll get a lot of extra work with a ton of criticism on top of it.
> There are a whole lot of binary test cases in software.

That's not how I read GP's point. If even binary blobs in test cases are a place where backdoors are, now as a matter of fact, hidden then, certainly, among the folks advocating for binary drivers in FOSS, there are some who are already --or planning to-- add backdoors there.

Binary blobs are all terrible, terrible, terrible ideas.

Builds should be 100% reproducible from source, bit for bit. At this point it's not open up for discussion anymore.

China is the only place that conceivably in the near future would be able to spin up their own designs and fabs for GPUs. In fact they seem to be well on their way, thanks to the push from the GPU export restrictions already in place!
It reads to me like the Google announcements. Platitudes to calm investors down so they can say "we are doing AI too see!". But I think Apple is really struggling, similar to Google.

Dropping sales in China doesn't help either...
In fact this is not true with Linux. We did a study of this[0] and found that there are too many interdependencies between Linux kernel subsystems. The smallest, usable Linux kernel we test with sometimes is around 30MB.

In comparison, compiling NGINX together with Unikraft results in a kernel size of under 2MB. This means that there is 28MB of kernel we didn't need or want.

As far as I know uvloop is not supported in Pyodide, mainly because it requires compiling libuv into WebAssembly (which is possible but not trivial).

In any case, it shall be possible to run uvloop fully inside of WebAssembly. However, doing so will prove challenging using their current architecture
> The no carb diet was easy: I was never hungry, I had mental clarity for the first time in my life. After the occasional sleep deprivation I was feeling much better than before. I started eating twice a day with no snacks, then migrated to one meal per day with no hunger. Adjusting to the new diet came with some mistakes (eg. balancing elecrolytes to get the optimal level of energy) but after fixing them I was much better than before.

I have no study to back me up but I think all anecdotes and studies about weight-loss without self-denial is bound to get more push-back than normal. Weight-loss and fitness above a certain level is “supposed to” (we think) involve hard work and sacrifice. No doubt colored by the hard workers who pushed through and have now have built a minor identity around how their strong character compared to their former selves.

I think that trust needs to be 'pushed deeper' than that so to speak. While this would be an improvement, what happens if there is a malicious actor at Github? This may be unlikely, but would be even harder to detect since so much of the pipeline would be proprietary.

Ideally, we would have a mechanism to verify that a given build _matches_ the source for a release. Then it wouldn't matter where it was built, we would be able to independently verify nothing funky happened.
Ask HN: Cohort + instructor based classes for experienced software devlopers?
I've been out of college for a while, but I'm wondering if there exists any online courses I could take with a cohort of peers and an instructor with weekly lectures and assignments?

For example, I'm not too interested in learning Rust by myself. But if there was a 6-12 week course where I could go through it with a cohort and make friends and we all come together for lecture and there's a slack/discord, that sounds really fun.

I feel like there's a lot of stuff like this where I have minimal interest learning on my own, but if you add a class around it, it sounds really fun.

I basically miss the college experience and am looking for more lightweight ways to replicate it
The sad reality is that most paid Masters degrees (and even non-paid via opportunity cost) are scams that are unlikely to lead to a job.
One way I can put it is that a non-technical co-founder must bring tangible business skills, that's what they provide, not "the idea".

If a technical founder is sitting down and writing code until 2am on the weekends the non-technical founder better be making phone calls and sending emails, etc...

The inexperienced "idea guy" thinks by sharing "the idea" they have done their part and are just now going to sit and watch as the "the programmer" implements it.
