Magnesium fixed my insomnia and muscle cramps. Here's my story:

I have seen many doctors, including sleep specialists, regarding insomnia. They all pointed to one source as the reason for the sleep issues: stress. And they all wanted to put me on prescription sleeping pills. I said no to that. Sleeping pills are addictive and you have to take them for the rest of your life. As a software developer, I am used to finding and fixing the underlying problem as opposed to the quickfixes these doctors were offering me.

After much research I figured out the underlying problem, and the fix for it. The underlying problem is magnesium deficiency. As a software developer I am using my brain more intensely than most people. This is the stress the doctors are talking about. Stress depletes magnesium. The cells in our body depend on two essential minerals for normal function: Calcium and magnesium. Cells go into ON state when calcium goes in, and OFF state when calcium goes out. Calcium doesn't go out on its own: magnesium has to go in and displace the calcium. When you are low on magnesium, cells can't go into OFF state. When that happens your muscles become stiff and you need massages, and your brain can't turn off and you can't sleep. The solution is magnesium supplements. This fixed my muscle stiffness issues and my sleep issues. A special compound of magnesium called magnesium l-threonate is especially helpful for sleep because it can penetrate what is known as the "blood brain barrier".
My friend is part of a team of PhDs working on hard tech research problems without much interest in becoming a viable business (in the sense of counting dollars). It seems like YC would not be the right fit for them, is that correct? They seem to have gotten interest from other VCs but they have the impression that YC is more of a traditional firm focused on startups that are very close to revenue or are post revenue
I think this is probably how I work too, and people tell me I think very quickly, so I suppose that means I can just talk to myself faster than whatever they are doing, hah. If you don't mind me asking, how are you with math? My mind completely lacks a framework for numbers, so I'm unable to do math (I feel like that might sound insane).
Your description almost exactly matches the Maverick solar array produced by the Aussie company 5b (https://5b.co/) - you are definitely on to something.

Factory assembly and field deployment is a far faster, safer, and higher quality method of building solar farms.
You say that, but Iran keeps on war merchanting, North Korea keeps on lobbing missiles, Russia keeps on warmongering, and China keeps on owning the world.

Sanctions as they are right now don't work, and that is a problem.
I understand that you're asking a slightly different question than the one I'm answering, but having been involved in the JTBD world, my spidey sense is that you could save yourself a ton of pain if you watch this

TL;DR: A lot of folks (myself included) think that the sort of discovery interview you're describing is somewhere between unhelpful and dangerous. People cannot tell you what their problem is, they can only tell you what they think you want to hear. Yes, I'm generalizing, but it's hard to estimate how many entrepreneur-years have been burned by attempting to solve a problem someone told them that they have.

My suggestion is that you figure out a way to deeply embed yourself in a world or industry, possibly for a few years. The less sexy the domain, the better. Pay close attention, look for solvable problems with your own eyes.

Often there are opportunities hiding in plain sight that people don't see because there's an entrenched "way things are done". But frankly, you have no business disrupting how soup gets canned if you have never worked in a soup canning plant. Don't bring on an industry expert as a startup co-founder; be the industry expert.
HN will make snarky comments about doing no evil and avoid reading the part where the NLRB forced their hand by classifying worker protection of subcontractors as de-facto employee status. Good job NLRB.
No countries have experienced a faster fertility drop than the poor countries in the "global south". Chile's TFR numbers just came out last month and it dropped 24% YOY.

I guess the time is for me to start using a different platform. Perhaps one that I can control. ;)
An important topic to be on HN for several reasons. Let's hope it doesn't get downvoted / flamed into oblivion.

> There’s a leaderboard on the Blue Wolf app, which effectively tracks the military units that are using the tool and capturing the faces of Palestinians. It gives you a weekly score based on the most amount of pictures taken. Military units that captured the most faces of Palestinians on a weekly basis would be provided rewards such as paid time away.

Protest activities like strikes and sit-ins/sit-downs and whatnot are voted on and approved. When a few members do this without voting, they endanger everyone in the union for their personal beliefs.

If the union voted on it and it was approved, then I think they would certainly support the protesters. If they didn't and protestors just did it on their own, that would be a big mess and I'm not sure what would happen, but I would guess expulsion from the union.

Well you might be in luck as there is a pretty good consensus that the next iOS will be heavily focused on Siri improvements. Some people are suggesting the new iPhone will be able to run an LLM locally as the Siri backend.

I will be curious to see how the usually controlling and exacting Apple will grapple with an inherently unpredictable LLM.

Having never used an Android, is manipulating text as bad as it is on iOS?
I assume it's mostly the timing, with the DMA coming into action and the DOJ lawsuit ?

I think the article it has its merit. I'm following a few podcast and news outlets and they seem to be very blind to what's actually missing from iOS or Apple's influence, in that sense it is a better take than most I've seen.

In particular, on browser engine most people seem to brush it off as a "every will just choose Chrome and it will all be the same" when there's a lot more to it. In particular it makes it a lot more interesting to keep Firefox on the desktop as we get history sync.

The other parts (e.g. DEX) are also usually brushed off as things people don't use, but I'd wager the fact that the dominant mobile OS doesn't support it has a lot to do with that state.
I do not think that is true anymore about MS. For most cases it is pretty manageable these days.
Microsoft has added premium subscriptions to modern Windows Solitaire, because it's 2024 and God has forsaken us. So this is a welcome project.

Yeah, I'm willing to trust the Linux Foundation won't pull a stunt like this but I have zero faith that in 5 years there won't be another announcement that "<other users of Redis we think have money> are no longer allowed to use it without paying."
Congrats on the bootstrapped business! Could you please share some of the marketing for founder resources you mentioned? I'd like to avoid taking investments too.
I'm using the OP's term. If you don't like the term, take it up with that person. It's not "flamebait" in any case.

Instead, perhaps you're disagreeing with my assertion that most families in the past were autocratic, and that in many cultures they still are. A link to a lengthy Wikipedia article does nothing to refute the claim. You're going to have to be more specific.

Most historical families in Europe, India, and China were run by the elders on autocratic lines, and those constitute, and pretty much always have constituted, the majority of families on Earth (at least since the population boom brought on by the invention of agriculture).

Indeed, in classical Roman civilization, the paterfamilias could kill any junior member of the family at any time, for any reason he chose. Your own article even mentions that.

Sounds pretty autocratic to me.
My understanding is that the protests were closely coordinated with lawyers, and Google will likely spend a ton of $$$ defending the terminations as a result.
I have applied to YC with multiple ideas in the past and have been rejected without interview. In my current iteration what I have going against me - solo founder, late 40s, building in a crowded consumer space.

I have no idea what YC looks for and it doesn't matter. I will still apply last minute. Almost all my past applications helped me refine and rethink about my ideas.

It is highly discouraging to hear a reject but that's the life of a founder.
Netflix and A24 have recently found themselves embroiled in controversy over their involvement with AI-related projects. The streaming giant and the renowned film studio, known for their innovative storytelling, faced scrutiny after reports surfaced regarding their use of artificial intelligence in content creation.

This development has sparked widespread debate about the ethical implications of AI in creative industries. While AI technology holds promise for streamlining production processes and generating captivating content, concerns have been raised about its potential to replace human creativity and diminish the authenticity of storytelling.

Critics argue that relying too heavily on AI algorithms could result in homogenized content and limit diverse voices in the entertainment landscape. Moreover, questions surrounding ownership and intellectual property rights have further complicated the discussion.

In response to the controversy, both Netflix and A24 have pledged to engage in transparent dialogue with creators, industry stakeholders, and the public to address concerns and ensure responsible use of AI technology in their projects.

However, amidst the discourse, it's essential to stay informed and explore reliable sources for deeper insights into these complex issues.

It depends on your keyboard, but it's usually a better.

The main bit would be the arrow keys, which are a lot better than swiping around. Otherwise firefox has better text selection IMHO, but it has other downsides that Chrome doesn't.

The Job Drought in Finance and Tech Is Ending
Ask HN: Is week a too long of time to build an MVP?
I am working to validate an idea. I've seen many threads that suggest it should take a few hours. I am pretty confident that I won't have workable prototype for at least a week, and I am wondering if I am overcomplicating.

The case law is really clear here, unless the Supreme court has gotten progressive enough to overturn their 1939 decision (which is really not possible), this will not make it far at all in court (anyone can sue anyone for anything, but this probably gets thrown out before pretrial). If they got advice from lawyers, however, that this was ok, there is probably clear grounds for a legal malpractice lawsuit.

I really doubt Google is going to spend much on this at all.
I went wakeboarding in a freshwater lake a few years ago.

On the first wipeout, my face smashed into the water, and it went very far up my nose.

On getting up, I remembered "Naegleria fowleri", and wondered, hmmmm this might have killed me.

Luckily no symptoms appeared over the next few days.

I feel like wakeboarding should be banned in warm freshwaters.
I don't have a complex model, it's just your test that is capturing the wrong variable. Every network you listed is "profitable" because the subsidies they get are in the "income" column instead of the "subsidy" column. The distinction between profitability or making a loss is purely nominative. In the US for example, the HK transit authority would be "aiming to make a loss" because its largest source of income are the taxes it is allowed to levy. Since in the US it's the government that levies the taxes which are counted as subsidies, the HK transit authority in the US would be classified as loss-making. Additionally the MTR in HK has pseudo-governmental powers in that it gets to expropriate, rezone, and resell land at a higher price, which would also be counted as a subsidy in the US and therefore it would be considered to be loss making.

So the problem isn't that my model isn't capturing a variable, it's that your test isn't capturing a variable and is taking in erroneous data points due to diverging definitions of your metric.
To me, modern-day Zionism means two things:

1. The belief that Israel is the homeland of the Jews, and by extension, my homeland.

2. The belief that Israel should remain, legally, a Jewish supremacist state, where only Jewish sovereignty is recognized.

I disagree strongly with both of these notions.
And uprisings are usually started by the military. Oops.
It appears that they started this as one of their virtue signaling projects, and they seem to have run into real world legal implications. If someone specifies the working conditions including wage and hours they are considered as employers of the contractors.

Conquering the press strategy always works for corporates. They can declare programs and initiatives to virtue signal whatever is catch of the season and they can choose either delay to implement or rollback with less fanfare. They've already gained political currency with in the initial barrage of press releases.
Tell HN: Chrome DevTools protocol has begun providing the faviconUrl
This is good news. If you want to build a browser or some other similar experience atop this protocol you had to fish around for the favicon URL yourself, which while it might sound trivial is not always easy.

This is because it might be one of:

- /favicon.ico

- the first successful /link[rel=icon].href

But what if favicon.ico serves with 200 but is an invalid image? Same goes for the icon link elements. Including that sometimes, you can't just pull the data from within the page's JS context using fetch/xhr due to CORS.

So, you need to send the favicon url to the server for fetching, but ensure you have the right browser headers and in some cases cookies etc! Hahah :)

So, serving up the expected favicon is not always trivial. Hahaha! :) Having a canonical url that the browser thinks is right will save a lot of hassle.

Of course, caveats around the response validity are still true, but it's good news or seems so.

Now to obtain this, run Chrome with a remote debugging port and point it at that some URL. Then just curl /json/version on the protocol backend, like so:

google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9993
curl http://localhost:9992/json

You should see (in latest) a `faviconUrl` field for any page targets returned! :)
Well, it's worse if you don't realize you got it.

Fiat doesn’t hold value because it has fundamentals or inherent utility either.

Fiat currency holds value because it is backed by a sufficiently large group with guns.

Crypto currency holds value because it is backed by a sufficiently large group with encryption.
So far your thought experiment involves someone with an athlete’s endurance who’s willing to spend half of their day on a menial task for three days out of five? A little unclear on the last part since you don’t seem to understand how overtime is calculated.

You are asking for them to spend a considerabe amount of their time on you. If you wrote me a super short mesage about my field (not medicine), I might feel too that this will be 30-60 minutes of my time wasted on a likely sales call.

On the other hand, if you write me a longer message, explaining your background and position, give me all the background info, and let me answer via email, I might be more inclined to help, assuming you demonstrate that you at least have some understanding of the field.

Alternatively, you could offer to pay people for their time, which is not something sales people typically do.
I appreciate the effort, but after a couple of pages I can already tell, that it wouldn't be something I wanted if it was the first time I'm learning calculus. And even for a refresher it isn't exactly perfect.

IMO, the author is right about what's wrong with the most "proper" books, but overcompensates, and thus makes it unnecessarily complicated to understand, maybe even more so, than some "proper" textbooks. It is too wordy, too informal and pretty hard to read and follow. I don't need any Dean Swift poetry and references to "Queen Elizabeth's days", I just want to know what is calculus, why do we need it, and how do I actually do it, goddammit… That's if we follow the seemingly easier "engineering" approach. And we need it to be a bit more formal still if we follow even slightly more mathematical approach, which I think is actually necessary if you want even a bit of real understanding, because math is this thing where it's very easy to fool yourself into thinking you understand something, when you actually don't, and then get all flabbergasted and helpless against paradoxical "fake proofs" or being asked to prove anything yourself. And to tell valid derivation from invalid, yes, you do need some formal definitions.

And in fact, the (formal) basics really aren't difficult to understand at all. Everyone can readily agree that x² grows faster than x, and being introduced into concept of limits to see why (dx)² can be considered negligible compared to dx. You don't need to be comparing weeks to minutes for that. If anything, the latter only throws you off. And I feel like it takes way less patience to read a handful of formal definitions than pages of these "old British"-stylized ramblings.

Edit: oh, it isn't "stylized". Still, doesn't change the main point, that there are far better more recent resources to learn calculus.
Another example:

These folks built a robotic restaurant. It took the form of a food truck in a shipping container, and they put it in our little food truck area here. I then saw for the next 3 months, engineers frantically running around a semi operational thing, until they took it away because it didn't work.

The investors could have just invested in some food trucks, and made money.
Yes, so it's clearly quite relevant to this board.
To be fair, thats probably where nearly half of them were sold anyway.
Your comment does make me think that really the only acceptable voice to voice in a company like Google is to be a democrat. But I bet a bunch are actually Republican and want lower taxes for the wealthy (of which Googlers benefit some) but won’t say it aloud.
That would be true, but the prices for datacenter GPUs are so inflated (both for NVDIA and for AMD) that it does not matter that CPUs are not as efficient from the technical point of view (i.e. in performance per watt and performance per die area), because the performance per dollar of CPUs is currently much better, unlike 10 years ago, when the GPUs were much cheaper, so they also had better performance per dollar.
That's kind of what annoys me though; it's almost like the word "math" is toxic to people. When I try explaining a correspondence between something that they're doing via code, and how maybe learning a bit of the mathematics behind it might be useful, people kind of just roll their eyes, acting like I asked them to go get three PhDs, and acting like it's just one of those weird "Tombert things".

I don't know anything about neural networks yet (though I really need to get on that), but I have noticed the other two examples you mentioned as well; recursion is more or less applied inductive proofs, a lot of crypto boils to number theory.

My dream is to some day convince a manager to give me budget to spend a few weeks designing a new system and proving correctness with TLA+. I'm not saying it's terribly likely, but a man can dream.

But there's no email or username. No identifier. That's what makes it useful from a privacy standpoint. That, and the only way a user can login is if they upload a file that generates the matching checksum in my database. Whereas with hashed passwords, there's more avenues for an attacker to reveal the actual password. If all they have is only a sha256 sum, they'll probably just give up. Idk maybe I'm wrong and this is pointless to pursue. And I'm not sure what bcrypt or scrypt is, I just thought sha256 would be sufficient for the use case.
I think you’re just saying “cogito, ergo sum”.

Yours sounds more like, “something seeming therefore something seeming”.
That, unfortunately, won’t help it set two alarms at the same time.

I think maybe the difference for me is that I know I’m very unmotivated myself. If it doesn’t come easy to me, chances are I wouldn’t do it. I’ve just been lucky that I was born in a middle class family in a socialist country and fell into a career that comes both easy and pays a lot of money.

If I’d been born in a low income family in the US, I’d be working a dead end cleaning job, with no prospect of anything ever getting better. I’m fairly certain I’d be a kick ass cleaner though.
