not a bad idea... could work.

Also the child to yours has a decent link to using masking. That way you could encode 'color filters' into a few different spaces and get the most of the color ranges.

The more dimensions you can pack in, the higher your bit rate. For example I could have 256 glyphs. Just black and white. But if I rotate them (and make sure all the glyphs are rotatable) I can at least 8x the amount of data packed into one location (just using 45degree rotations). Color for me was just to another dimension. You could pack more by breaking the glyphs into 4 regions (or more) and varying the colors. There all sorts of interesting dimensions you can pack in there.

Anyone considering getting on the latest dietary fad train should think twice; strict adherence to a modified dietary regime without monitoring by medical professionals can lead to unintended consquences. Often, the promoters of such diets use a handful of scientific studies to gain followers (hence revenue), even if such studies (such as the one in this article) aren't applicable for the general public. If you want to get on the train regardless, or are already on it, I suggest reading this entire review (2013) (it's dense, a chatbot can help).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3625904/

It covers everything from basic biochemistry to unusual disease states, here's the diet-relevant bit:

> "Ketogenic diets are often unpalatable, which leads to poor patient compliance. Additionally, such diets raise blood cholesterol and free fatty acids, increase the risk of nephrolithiasis, and cause constipation (23, 116, 201). Therefore, Veech and Clarke developed and tested ingestible ketone ester compounds, which can rapidly generate ketoses exceeding 5 mM in rats and humans (37, 103, 195), while sparing the adverse consequences of high-fat diets."

Now these ketone esters are being marketed direct to consumers when they really should only be used under medical supervision as part of a coherent treatment program for specific issues:

Do you know yet which Canadian sources you'd likely use content from?

For news matters that I have had direct personal knowledge about, I've often found that the coverage from the so-called "mainstream" Canadian news media has been quite bad.

The most accurate and relevant Canadian news reporting I've seen has been from anonymous or quasi-anonymous Reddit comments, Twitter tweets, YouTube videos, blog posts, and comments on "mainstream" articles (back when they tended to allow those), for example, rather than from anybody who might be called a "verified journalist".

Aggregating and selecting from the "mainstream" Canadian news media wouldn't provide any real value to me.

running at high temperatures mean you could use the heat to run a chemical factory and could possibly make hydrogen thermally (though it does involve sulfuric acid at 850 °C which will eat most reaction vessels) or possibly fit a gas turbine powerset which, together with compact heat exchangers, could possibly get capital cost under the LWR:

Higher temperatures could even improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of a steam turbine.
Launched my first startup that was built for startups
Guys! I finally did it — I launched my first startup

It's called Sprintli, and it's a marketing service/platform built to help startups accelerate their marketing efforts.

I've been working on it for around 6 months, creating systems and the brand, building the team and the processes, and interviewing all kinds of founders and marketing executives.

It almost feels surreal to finally be able to launch Sprintli. I would love if you guys could take a look and let me know your thoughts on the website and the service itself.

And if you're interested in learning more, just shoot me a message or ask away in the comments! The website is www.sprintli.com and we just published it.

And before someone says it, I know there are a lot of productized marketing services. This is only phase 1 of this project, phase 2 will be an actual platform built for freelancers and businesses. We just needed to get something off the ground to build capital to invest in that sort of thing.

Really excited to get this project off the ground :D

Is there any evidence that the best-fit portions of the market are getting saturated. There are plenty of places in the USA where an ICE vehicle is just a better fit, given usage patterns, lack of charging facilities etc.
I agree this is part of it. There are still many parts of the USA where charging is a real concern, as is the need to drive beyond the vehicle's range (I do that several times a month, and would worry about charging along the way or at my destination).
I need to re-run the math based on this info, but a while back, I wanted to figure out the maximum density of QR codes that could be reliably printed on a sheet of plain paper with a laser printer, then optically scanned and re-digitized. I recall the answer was about the same as a double-density 5.25" floppy disk, which is 320kb.

> Feels heartbreaking and scary to me, given that it was part of my identity.

I took two years of a language, merely for enjoyment, and it saddens me now that I've neglected to maintain my studies that I've lost most of what I learned. I get frustrated looking at sentences where in my prime I would have been able to sight translate with ease. I can imagine it's offers of magnitude worse to feel something similar with ones own native language, starting to struggle to use the language with which you had your first thoughts.
FWIW they had some insane discounts toward the end of March, to the extent that I'm not sure high prices is the problem. I bought a new long-range AWD Model Y myself a couple weeks ago because between the discounts and tax credits I ended up paying under $40k (would've been around $36k but even after sales tax and fees and stuff it was still only around $39k).

At those prices I'm not sure how they aren't selling more cars. For the amount of range and functionality you get, that kind of deal blows the competition out of the water; no other EV I'm aware of comes close. (That said, I have no idea if they still made much of a profit off that car or if they were just desperate to clear out space.)
> How plausible is this theory?

Points to consider:

- How easily could a real "Satoshi Nakamoto", working alone, perform the tasks which mainstream Bitcoin history attributes to him?

- How many vaguely-similar-to-founding-Bitcoin things are known to have been done by reclusive/secretive loners?

- How similar is "secretly founding Bitcoin" to known or reasonably suspected operations done by the NSA, or similar intel agencies?

- Why would NSA management sign off on a pseudonym that was such a convenient anagram?

- Given some of the history - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto#Characteristi... - why aren't you asking "What if GCHQ is Satoshi Nakamoto?".

- How useful is Bitcoin, really, for the Western intelligence community? Vs. various "former Communist Block" countries.
No one likes to set up or update things. But when everything is coupled (why not even include a framework in Bun?), you are even more dependent on choices made by them and will be forced to upgrade no matter what. For example, if they decide that their implementation of the test component wasn't good enough in version X and they completely reimplement it in version X+1, you will have to upgrade your code, but maybe at that point you don't want to rewrite all your test suites, you just want to get the new http3 request handler, but you still must rewrite all your test suites...

When things are not that coupled, independent components you bring together, you can update the webserver, and/or some components, and keep the old version of the test library for now, until you decide it's time to upgrade.
I ask owners of other EV vehicles how they like their car, and >50% of my sample size of ~10 bring up "at least it's not owned by that crazy man" as a big reason as they explain the other deficiencies. (Mostly bad controls, UX, etc. stuff that the Tesla gets right.)

I have a Tesla Model 3 right now and it's my favorite car ever, by far, but I also will be unlikely to buy another tesla. It's not the same company as six years ago.

It has a menuconfig :D

At least I know from talking to Alex that they actually know what users and people playing with kernels like in his toolchain.

Kraftcloud is just them eating their own dogfood. In my opinion it's all about the toolchain(I mean not only) and these people understand that.

In my opinion Linux didn't win because it has the best design on every front. It won, because it had the easiest toolchain for someone like me with zero experience to just read a total after school and start building a kernel.

This is similar. Building is simple, configuring is simple, packaging is simple. It has the added bonus of having people behind it, that are ALSO good researchers.

I hope that at some point they will pay for a professional audit, but it's already awesome to see where they got.
Your experiences may differ, but I'd say pretty much anyone who lived through the past few years has reason enough to pay careful attention to their mental health.
Right but when do I get my cheap Tesla?
I read some studies about gut flora being tied to mental wellbeing. This is so complicated probably because there’s so much diversity at play, what might balance the gut for one person may unbalance another.

It aggregates the news from thousands of newspapers, youtube channels and podcasts, then serves you a summarized digestible version, as a feed and as a personalized podcast, using LLM models.

You can also ask to clarify or explain the news, and there's a new function to ask if an article's claims are supported by other sources, to avoid reading biased or opinionated information.

I think the Business Co-Founder getting a loan is a fantastic idea, and I've suggested it many times. Basically, each co-founder needs skin in the game, not one -- both.

The technical co-founder is contributing $70k to 100k of time assuming 3mo of effort -- they are also "borrowing"...from an uncertain future. They have obvious skin in the game.

The business co-founder needs equal skin in the game. The best would be to go pre-sell the idea. But if they cannot do that, what are they brining to the table?
Not sure how it will affect things going forward, but the Model 3 may help. Jay Leno did an excellent segment about it a few weeks back, with a pair of Tesla engineers:

Yes and they used to offer online access to it as well.
Most non-git projects have git mirrors these days, even if they're not official.

If upstream only releases tarballs, you can still untar them and create a commit for each version so you can easily compare them and merge any additional patches you need.
Check the GitHub profile of anybody that commits. Is there a photo of the person? Can you see a commit history and repos that help validate who they seem to be.

In this instance, noticing the people emailing to pressure you have fake looking names that start with adjacent letters and the same domain name.

Be more paranoid.
I am shopping for an EV right now. I absolutely refuse to look at Teslas. So there is some effect of unknown size, and in hard times that added effect can push things over an edge.
So trying to establish how to attribute this to:

- World wide supply issues (Red Sea)
- TSLA specific issues (Strikes, Pay Dispute)
- Overall demand for EVs - to this factor, any good benchmarks out there to establish demand?
The level of complexity involved in making sure that electrical plants work, that water gets to your home, that planes don't crash into each other, that food gets from the ground to a supermarket shelf, etc, is unfathomable and no single person knows how all of it works. Code is not some unique part of human infrastructure in this aspect. We specialize and rely on the fact that by and large, people want things to work and as long as the incentives align people won't do destructive things. There are millions of people acting in concert to keep the modern world working, every second of every day, and it is amazing that more crap isn't constantly going disastrously wrong and that when it does when are surprised.
I think that depends on the context. If you're maintaining one of the most widely used packages that is directly linked to by libsystemd and is included by pretty much every Linux distro as part of the base system? Then maybe some measure of paranoia is justified.

I think the OpenBSD developers are right to be as paranoid as they are. Anyone who is maintaining a security critical system should be on guard against these kinds of attacks.
I am not sure. I do have mine pair with my iPhone using the picture on the label of the bridge. The bridge itself communicates with the dimmers via the same wireless protocol the pico remotes use. The bridge has all the smarts in it for working with apps, doing schedules, etc. My bridge is about 9 years old and is still getting updates. Internally, I am aware that efforts are made to ensure that systems work for 20 years or more.

Tesla should be absolutely terrified of this. I think lots of us would love to like Elon, but the man is such a disgrace that we are actively disincentivised to root for his success.

This. I really like Tesla as a brand, but Musk should really stop over-promising and under-delivering.

Their technology is really good, but far away from the promises of their CEO.

I'm by no means an expert, but doesn't the Mullvad browser in combination with a (trusted) VPN robustly prevent fingerprinting? It got a pretty good response when it was posted here a while ago. I'd be interested to know by someone more knowledgeable just how robustly it prevents fingerprinting.

I was looking at adding another Y to our household while those sales were offered, but didn’t because my income prevents us from getting the tax credit, so maybe next year. Agree it’s a great value, more customer research required (what price do the vehicles need to get to in order to move faster, and can Tesla still make a profit at those prices).
You have to be remarkably good to be able to afford being an asshole.
I chose a Kia eNiro because it had ”bad” but predictable controls/UX. Basically a normal, boring car with dedicated buttons for most things, but with a EV drivetrain.
> Are Tesla sales levelling off?

No. Tesla sales are dropping. This is worse than "leveling off".

EDIT: Tesla hasn't had sales this low in a quarter since 2022.
BYD is a state backed enterprise.

The rest of chinas EV market is in Freefall (plant closures) and much of their output is of a quality level you would expect from china.
>> Hence being in the black about the market for such product, they obviously want someone to do it "for free" as the risk is high.

This is spot on -- many Business Co-Founders want to borrow -- but they want someone else to borrow (their time, their effort) and take the risk. The risk needs to be transferred back equally to all co-founders. If only one person is taking the majority of the upfront risk, this isnt a co-founder situation!

I once met a "Business" Co-Founder who "Personally Guaranteed" this business would succeed if I did 3mo of upfront work. He followed me around at multiple events in NY and kept insisting. I retorted if he was so sure, why not take a HELOC and pay for the technical PoC/MVP?
Forgive the arrogant tone here. But just to speak to a moment to the poor 'non-technical founder' or 'idea person' being pilloried: If you find the article and comments depressing, ignore them. They sound reasonable, but in fact if you have the idea and the guts to go out there and try to get it built, that does have incredible value. It's a different type of value - perhaps less immediately monetizable than top-notch programming skills, but potentially with a bigger payoff long-term, and whether that is fair or not is irrelevant. Yes, maybe you'll have to adjust your strategy as you go along, whether it's looking for cofounders elsewhere, hiring freelancers, learning to do the technical stuff yourself and taking 10x as long, etc. But you have to start somewhere, and starting by asking people who can help you build whatever you want to build is not at all an unreasonable place to start. When I quit my job and was starting my first business (solo, which is another thing you'll hear on this forum you can't/shouldn't do), I was trying to hire employee #1. There was one candidate who literally laughed at me. Imagine how that feels - I had no funding - I was going to pay him out of my limited and hard-earned savings. I fear that some of this stuff here is even more insidious. Because although I felt terrible in the moment, I used that to fuel my drive. He was the image of who I was going to prove wrong. Whereas all this stuff that has a veneer of logic can potentially convince someone not to go out and build. But as I read this, the word 'problem' appears 16x in the comments, 'can't' 13x, 'no' 32x, and on and on - on a forum hosted by a startup incubator of all things! In my experience you don't even need an 'idea' in the sense of a unique insight, you just need openness to the 'idea' that yes you can succeed and opportunities are as abundant as problems.
> At those prices I'm not sure how they aren't selling more cars.
