As long as they figure out the prion safety issue, "going home" and then being turned into food doesn't sound like such a bad system really.
There's opportunity cost, that's true, and I'm sure one can show that the most optimal situation in this case would be everyone on the world using the same office suite (i.e. free trade is optimal), _provided_ non-US countries would spend the money on actual production cost. However, the money paid is not only for production, but also for rent seeking, squeezing value out of a quasi-monopoly. That is actual money lost for unproductive work, _and_ it is going outside of Germany.
I think your definition of enthalpy is not wrong.

My ranting is how most of thermo starts with U(S, V, N) whereas I would prefer with S(U, V, N). Either way the differential reads:

dU = T dS - p dV + mu dN

which, if we follow the standard way, is just saying that

T = (dU/dS)_{V, N}

- p = (dU/dV)_{S, N}

mu = (dU/dN)_{S, V}

where the derivatives are really just partial derivatives so I really should have written them with a curly d. Mathematically enthalpy is the Legendre transform where we eliminate V in favor of p:

H(S, p, N) = (U(S, V, N) + p V)_{V = V*(p)}

where V* extremizes the term in parentheses, i.e.

(dU/dV) (S, V*(p), N) + p = 0

Of course this equation is just the above definition of the pressure at constant V, but now we are meant to solve this equation to find V* as a function of p (and S and N), and then plug that back in to get H as a function of p.

The Legendre transform property ensures that:

(dH/dp)_{S,N} = V*(p)

You should note that taking the derivative of H wrt p would in principle also induce a term proportional to dV* / dp since in the definition of H there is V* which depends on p. But that term cancels out because V* is an extremum! So that is why dH/dp gives just V*(p) which is the inverse function of p(V) that you get from (minus) dU/dV. This is the "inverse of derivatives" property of the Legendre transform mentioned in the original post.

Clearly the enthalpy is the nicer gadget to have if you work at constant pressure since then one of its arguments is simply held constant.

It's going to sound harsh, but if a business is solely reliant on a single partner to not get fucked over, then that business has a far greater issue and it's failure will be entirely on them.

That aside, in practice the main people who benefit from GAFAM ads are Alibaba/AliExpress dropship sellers in my experience. Just take a generic piece of product, slap your own label on it and that's a new listing. Had to buy a PC keyboard recently and the search results are just littered with that crap. I don't think you'll find many people shed tears for that crap going bankrupt, it just clogs out actual legit small businesses.

Ask HN: Opinion please ― What are the best meeting transcription tools?
I'd like to start using a transcription tool like fireflies.ai regularly. But there are so many out there now (grain, notta, avoma, bluedot, tldv, ..., ...) that I'd love to get some guidance on which ones stand out.

What I'm most interested in:

- Stellar UX

- Very simple and reliable to integriate into all the video call platforms out there

- Great at deriving the real essentials from what was said: good summary and comprehensive action points (I don't care about the verbatim transcription (and think that should be commodity nowadays) so much and much more about the condensate)

- Good cost/value ratio (single user)

- Languages: de is a must in addition to en. Anything out there that can do swiss german?

- (Anything else I should find important but am missing here?)

Would love to get some input/opinions from people who are using one of these regularly.

Thank you!

I managed to create a popular Email LIST FOR STUDENTS
About 1,5 years ago I started my own studies in the University of Applied sciences in Finland. I knew that getting my first internship landed during my studies would be hard. Of course I knew that it would be hard for other people too. Then I got an idea.

And that is [internfromhome.io](https://internfromhome.io/) nowadays. It's very simple.

1. User signs up for free
2. We find the best internships
3. We send them to subscribers every Sunday

We are not trying to monetize this by collecting big money from the students as they usually can't pay much. We offer a cheap Premium-plan but it's not necessary. Our long term goal is to monetize through sponsored job postings and at the same time bring more internships for the students.

Gambling is predatory and immoral(*), regardless of what technology is used to advertise it. I know that makes me sound like a tea totaler who was trapped in cryogenic sleep for the last century, but I really can't think of a good reason to allow any kind of gambling at scale in our society. It's filled with negatives.

(*) of course, this is my opinion, you might not have the same morals as I do.

Read the report - there is zero evidence of rape that hasn't been thoroughly debunked. That "reasonable grounds" line was apparently added to placate Israel by the report's author (who has a history with Israel).

Even the NYT now admits (albeit quietly) that their "expose" contains no evidence.

And, as I'm sure you know, there are exactly zero videos showing rape. Quite frankly, I find it incredible that some people still believe the atrocity propaganda, even when it's so obvious and of such poor quality.
> The money extracted by the credit card companies and Visa causes merchants to raise prices for everyone regardless of whether they have a rewards card or use a credit card at all.

There has been nothing stopping US merchants from offering cash and/or debit card payers a discount since Oct 2011.

https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/new-rules-el...

Most merchants are betting that people paying with credit cards are willing to buy sufficiently more or buy at sufficiently higher prices such that credit card transaction costs are more than offset.

That is the only reason why a cash/debit card discount would not be advertised.

Edit to respond to below:

I don’t buy that. Merchants of all types already engage in myriad types of discounts and promotions to price discriminate customers all the time.

A simple sign saying “x% discount for paying cash/debit” is of negligible complexity.
You'd want three LLMs, one to create the bugs, one to report it, one to fix it. I joke of course but on the other hand this is potentially a worthwhile architecture from a self-training perspective - a bug-creating LLM means your training set size is as big as you want it +/- GAN features.
This would also break the current approach for responsive emails.

Usually the default/desktop styles are already compiled and inlined, then a style tag with media query selectors is used in the `head` to improve readability for mobile devices.

Each product has their own value proposition. I don't think anyone opposes that each business has control of their own AI pipeline, the crux of the problem is at what stage of the pipeline this censorship is injected, specially in open models.

Of course businesses have their right to release AIs with censorship, and we as costumers have a right to challenge that and ask for a product that is actually useful to us.

Saying it again: If a business releases a model, we have a right to demand that it is useful for us because we're the business' costumers.

If those demands aren't met by a business, another business should be able meet them in open competition. And this only happens when open uncensored models are not banned by law.

I run my organization's phish sims, and we had a similar issue one month. A bunch of people failed for downloading attachments. When I looked into it further, all the attachments were downloaded by the same Czech IP address. With some research, I found that it was an AVG IP address. The fix is very simple. The phish sim service has a place to exclude IP ranges. Any activity from those IPs are just ignored. I'm sure all phish sim services and software have this ability.

Thought experiment: Let's assume the vast majority of Palestinians genuinely despise Israel and would be willing to sacrifice their own community's existence to exterminate Israel.

Do you think that's a genetic inclination? My guess is you don't.

So if it's a cultural inclination, do you think it can be changed? Seemingly no, so why not? Why wouldn't goodwill and nation-building be able to change Palestinian minds?

Taking lessons from the final acts of WWII is extraordinarily myopic and foolish. It seems to assume that whatever did happen must have happened - why would we believe that? It's contradicted by the simple and undeniable fact that humans make errors in judgment. People chose to cause suffering. People chose to respond to suffering with war. People chose to pursue war to "total military defeat" (I would say that is actually a fiction but we can go along with it as it's close enough to the truth for our purposes here).

Depends on what you consider clean. By most standards, most of the air on earth is clean. The part that gets people is that because of population density, many people live in areas without clean air. We also have some events like forest fires that can affect large areas for relatively brief times.

So it's not about running out of clean air on earth, but more so about specific locations and individual exposure.

Exactly. Especially at the government level. Fine, some states allow casinos to operate, but it's pretty evil when they run lotteries themselves. The ridiculous reason "we're using these funds this to help educate people about math" is just that, ridiculous.

Now we need our central overlords to shut one side down so we don't hear inconvenient truth. You don't get to suppress the truth because it is inconvenient. HN is consistently flagging and removing articles about Israel and Palestine which doesn't fit the "approved truth". You and people like you need to hear "the other side" and not just keep repeating convenient lies. Israel is perpetuating a genocide against unarmed civilians under the guise of "war" and the people supporting the genocide don't want to hear it. Does it upset you that you support all out genocide and want the other side to shut up? That's the truth, killing 30,000+ Palestinians, and now aid workers, is not a war it's a genocidal slaughter.
I mean some languages don't.

I have ideas but I don't think I'm getting them through. Most of the problems functional proselytizers have with objects come from inheritance and mutability. Instance methods from classes don't seem to conflict with any of the functional tenets.

As for mutability, I think it's good sometimes. Dates should have been immutable, but Maps are a good fit for mutation. Immutable maps might make sense too sometimes.

But I find it difficult to communicate about any of this when fundamental terminology is used in novel ways.
Some argue it’s gotten worse due to recent tradeoffs between privacy and accuracy, such as the negative effect Apple’s ATT has purportedly had on Meta’s targeted ad efficacy.
Sorry to say this, but there's no hope of getting two of the world's largest companies to license you some ancient ROM code. The legal status and licensing of it is probably murky at best, and there's nothing in it for them to even look into it.

It performs better and uses different design choices (for example: SableDb uses tokio's local task per connection, and in general it uses green threads to make the code more readable and easy to maintain).

I will release some design documents later on (hopefully this month). Remember that is a one man project (hopefully, not for long), so it takes time to organize everything :)
Can the government also pursue Inhance for the cost of damages incurred by the continued use of PFAS based on new science? Or do we all have to collectively eat the cost of harm because of the “it’s not fair to Inhance to immediately ban it” legal process? Certainly, the EPA should have to work its process from a due process perspective, but private industry should not be permitted to harm based on new science without a cost burden. Make them put a bond up, calculated by the estimated cost of the harm burden between now and when a final decision is made.

Pretty much all Amex cards with an annual fee have no foreign transaction fees as a benefit. The issue is that a lot of small business merchants outside of the US don't accept Amex (or will at least say they don't to avoid the higher interchange fee).

Show HN: Secure Session Cookie Scheme Using Existing Tech
I saw an article this morning that Google is planning on exposing an API in Chrome to tie cookies to a user's machine via public key cryptography and the TPM.

I humbly submit what I think as a much simpler approach that _should_ work across all modern browsers and can be done today:

Secure Session Cookie Scheme Using JWT and Web Crypto API

1. Key Generation and Storage:

- Generate an ECDSA key pair using the Web Crypto API, set to 'unextractable'.

- Store the keys in IndexedDB for persistent and secure client-side storage.

2. Initial Authentication:

- The browser signs a message (a nonce or predetermined data) with the private key.

- Send the signed message and public key to the server.

3. Server-Side Verification and JWT Creation:

- Server verifies the signature with the public key.

- Upon verification, create a JWT embedding the browser’s public key.

4. JWT for Subsequent Requests:

- Browser signs the JWT with the private key for future requests.

- Server verifies request signatures using the public key in the JWT.

5. Session Security:

- Interception of JWT is not a threat without the corresponding private key.

- The 'unextractable' key property prevents direct theft from the browser.

6. Renewal and Expiration:

- Implement expiration for JWTs.

- New key pairs for key rotation/renewal and repeating initial authentication process.

This approach uses cryptographic signatures and JWTs for secure sessions, significantly reducing session hijacking risks by tying authenticated requests to the possession of a secure private key in the user's browser.

These are some libraries I built to help work with WebCrypto and IndexedDB. If you'd like to contribute to them, I'd love the help and extra sets of eyes!

Right? This is completely anecdotal, but I've occasionally seen people lament, "You have to bank, as well as manage health and travel stuff on your phone". My follow up is always, "What can I do with those apps on my phone that I can't do via a laptop or desktop?" I am typically met with silence.

Seriously - beyond SMS 2FA, there's nothing I can do on my phone that I can't do on my desktop, and I sure as hell don't need to have constant access to all of that when I'm out and about.

It’s a noticeable fee for them.
yes there is. that's an enormous added pricing and communication complexity for businesses. which we know has a high cost because of all the businesses who have decided it would be higher than just stomaching the credit card fees.
