Was this meant as an insult? That is a plausible reading of what you wrote. There’s no need to be disparaging. It hurts yourself and others too.

I created a free AI tool to help neurodivergent students with their school work
As a college student who suffers from crippling ADHD I needed something that helped level the playing field. Not only for myself but a staggering 30% of students consider themselves neurodivergent and I believe the spike in anxiety and depression amongst gen z is an indicator that our generation needs help with their school work.

This is why I created a free to use AI tool (not profiting at all) to help our generation with their work.

The website can scan and analyze any size reading document, any article link, and any YouTube video. The tool can then respond to any prompt asked by the student.

I hope this free tool can make a difference for a struggling generation
> YC basically being a post-Ivy League thing

I have a lot of friends of mine who are decade+ YoE first time founders who have done very very well in YC.

Lots of Enterprise SaaS companies have went thru YC and done very well - you just don't hear about them as much because Direct Enterprise Sales doesn't require as much marketing.

There are similar B2C successes by older founders and non-Ivy/Ivy Tier founders.

> we're profitable, and can even articulate a realistic vision about how it becomes the next $100M household name

You could easily pitch a Seed or Pre-Seed round depending on the numbers and location right now.

I guarantee you that you are a 2nd or 3rd degree connect with plenty of VCs.

Leverage that network you have and doors will open

The YC label does help to open doors if you don't know or don't have the network to do it.

(Note: this advice is US centric)
I have had a very curated home taxonomy, than I give up. Now nearly all my digital life is managed in a graph of org-mode notes, org-attached. So I do not need to look for some file traversing a tree but a single org-roam-node-find typing something to reach a heading title. This plus a heavy note usage allow for a far better search, full-text in notes via ripgrep as well, working far better both for structured files, like regular bills, and casual files. A small bonus the two-level cache-like global attachment dir is essentially a nicely balanced tree, meaning if I decide (experimented than dropped since of no use for me) to index my files for instance with Recoll (Xapian comfy wrapper) the indexing is typically faster than in a classic curated taxonomy.
We're still in lite stealth mode, so posting the name on HN isn't the best idea. :-)
All I can tell you is it's not true and that's why I posted this!

(and if it's true that everything you hear about YC is telling you otherwise, then YC has a serious messaging problem)
I don’t see how it’s bait and switch. You can still used and develop against the last open version. In fact, we’ve seen recent examples of that in Terraform and Redis.

Open source does not mean you are entitled to all future improvements unless the license says you are, like the AGPL.

Personally, I’m grateful these project made their source open for so long. The alternative would not be AGPL terraform, it would be completely closed terraform.
> Anyone have any good ideas for how we're going to do politics now?

If a business is showing a demo of this you can be assured that the Government already has this tech and has for a period of time.

> How will we vote for national candidates if nobody knows what they think or say?

You don't know what they think or say now - hopefully this disabuses people of this notion.
I suspected Frege, which is why I went looking for a source, but found Peirce instead. Good catch.
The US constitution applies to the US government. For a while, there were questions as to which parts and how much of it applied to state governments. The constitution doesn't really apply to private individuals and organizations, which is why a company can do things like ban neo-nazis from their platforms.
Using v3.16 iperf3.exe I got 9.2 Gbps between Windows and Ubuntu. A single TCP connection. No -P flag needed.
I love that game, along with Fate of Atlantis and Day of the Tentacle - but this has to be my favorite one.

For some reason I never quite understood, it wasn’t that well received when it came out. My stance on this one hasn’t changed in 27 years and I firmly believe it is the pinnacle of the genre : incredible art, hilarious, crazy but somehow logical puzzles, great music, and above all extraordinarily well written. Very very few games had me laugh in front of my computer. And don’t forget the brilliant voice acting.

I’ve just bought the latest title in the series but haven’t played it yet - I somehow fear it won’t be able to match COMI. I will also be introducing my kids to this incredible work of art - they will never hear about this from their friends at school, and I feel this is typically the kind of thing I can and probably should share as a parent.

Lucas folks, thanks for making this game.
Well, then you'll have to solve how to transport those larger blocks into site.

The very first sentence in the article (summary) is about 4k video, and it's supposedly something mobile users are whining about:

> With the rise of 4K video, the AV1 codec is becoming popular for better quality on Android devices.

So I don't get why people are putting themselves in that situation in the first place. It's like choosing to use a fork to row a boat and then going waaaahhhh this isn't working very well... no shit, wrong tool for the job.
There are several terms of art in poker that describe various versions of this:

action player — This is fairly neutral, and describes what I think you mean. Someone who likes to gamble. Sometimes these players are really bad, sometimes they are only sort of bad. These players make bank when playing against weak players who overfold and aren’t willing to gamble.

VIP — This is a polite way to say “donator”. Many/most action players are VIPs. Their attitude is that they can gamble in the pits or gamble at the poker table, and often times the poker table presents less bad (or even good) odds when compared to the house.

LAGtard — LAG is short for “loose aggressive”. LAG can be a very profitable style, especially when deep stacked. That said, LAGtards tend to play the style badly.

spewy — describes someone who puts a lot of chips into the pot, often times in questionable spots. Noun form is “spewtard”.
Thanks for the clarification. Still a rather horrifying effect for me given that I was trying to take in the content of the article and not the latency-ridden odd movements of other people's cursors, am I missing something (more!) here in terms of the why?
Don't forget saving a few dollars on a rain sensor... Tesla tried to use the cameras to detect rain in the early model S. The result was no automatic wipers for a long time.

The rest of the industry all use a standard sensor that works well.
You did not respond to the crux of my argument: The dynamics between offensive and defensive technology. Have you thought about it? What do you think is rational to conclude?
Society on the whole votes for people who say they will lick the wound.
An MIT license requires no propagation of software changes. I would say that a Copyleft licenses enforce software to be out-in-world. The lawyers needed to find out how not to propagate changes.

This reverse duality depends on whether the 'software' propagated is that which uses licensed software or evolution in public of the licensed software itself. If Linux itself was MIT licensed we would have a much messier world of fragmented, semi-working, partially compatible, proprietary platforms.
You mean what they call "crafts occupations"?

There again, you (and they) are making the mistake of lumping all of "those people" together.

Someone with an IQ of 80 could probably be a decent drywaller or roofer, maybe a mediocre framing carpenter or painter.

A good plumber or good electrician?

Not a chance in hell.
What do you mean, "factually"?
Nice post. With respect to maximizing future options, I find the ideas expressed in the following quotes are interesting counter-points.

From '4,000 weeks': "Not only should you settle; ideally you should settle in a way that makes it harder to back out, such as moving in together, or having a child. The irony of all our efforts to avoid facing finitude -- to carry on believing that it might be possible not to choose between mutually exclusive options -- is that when people finally do choose, in a relatively irreversible way, they're usually much happier as a result."

From 'Zero to One': "When people lack concrete plans to carry out, they use formal rules to assemble a portfolio of various options. ... A definite view, by contrast, favors firm convictions. Instead of pursuing many-sided mediocrity and calling it "well-roundedness," a definite person determines the one best thing to do and then does it."

I think demanding upfront pricing could hurt the customer. The company would be forced to overestimate their costs to cover the risk associated with unknown use-case details, making the enterprise price inflated. There would be a big "**" next to the price as well with a long list of conditions that need to be met.

The true costs are not front facing because it may not be clear which part of your product is going to be bearing most of the weight of the enterprise customers use-case until you know exactly what they are buying. Your costs may change a lot based on the nature and scale of what they are buying.

For example, you may be rate limited on a background service they use and the customer usecase will likely pish you over your limit. the next product tier from the background service vendor that's required to fulfill the enterprise company's use-case may cost way more and offer way more capacity than that company is going to use by itself. So you have to make a bet on how much cost to assign to that customer, and how much to assign to other/future customers given you buy that new tier and use it to change what you offer to other customers to try to make use of it. It may lower your cost overall if it supports a feature you can upsell relatively easily. Or it may be a service hardly used at all andyou really can't justify going up to that next tier unless this one enterprise customer pays for nearly all of the added cost
In cyber trucks shifting to neutral requires a tap and a gesture on the touch screen. It’s a really great and safe idea.
Many types of manufacturing. If you're making e.g. textiles, and being tired means you occasionally produce something that gets tossed out by quality control, this is not obviously a danger to anyone so it's just a cost trade off in wasted material vs. benefits of operating the factory for longer hours.

Many types of emergency response or on-call work. You just got off an 8 hour shift when an emergency happens. The cost of mistakes you make from being tired can be less than the cost of waiting 16 hours before responding to the emergency or leaving it to someone unqualified.

Generically anything where the cost of occasional mistakes is low or they can be detected before they have a major impact.

But also, the point is that different people have different levels of endurance. Some people will be making more mistakes after 6 hours than someone else would be making after 12.
This problem is VERY real and happens in surprising ways. My biotech has a dataset that was collected over several years and we found this pattern of older people having more Vitamin D in their blood than younger people, which is the opposite of the published literature. It turns out that the sample collection was initially year round but switched to summer only and everyone in the cohort was older, by definition, in the later collection.
> and this is why people so frequently break thread interrupts in Java.

By the way. I've been writing predominantly Java over the last 15 years and I absolutely hate it that InterruptedException is checked. It gets in the way All. The. Damn. Time. All for those 0.1% of cases when you need to be able to cancel a blocking operation from another thread.
I have a wonderful proof by mathematical induction for this, but it wouldn’t hold in the margin of an HN comment.
I think this looks nice and compelling, but I wonder how you lock down the seats here.

For an organization, they're going to be thinking "why not just get one seat and share it?"

It's also a hard sell to developers, who can spin up a LLM+RAG a lot easier than folks in spaces being similarly served by an OpenAI-as-a-service proxy app. Pointing ollama at my codebase is fairly trivial.

Not trying to rain on any parades; there are a lot of AI-powered projects like this and the ones that are selling are those that have proprietary data and serve less technical spaces.
Is that the latest game? I played it on the Switch and it seemed like there was a reference on the island that she's cheating on him or something.
Sorry, frustrating that a lie goes around the world six times before the truth can put its boots on. Also that I've abided by Mozilla NDAs while others there (or who used to be there) have not.
Given the "ribbon" happened around the same time as screens getting wide, it probably was one of the worst sins against usability ever committed. Before, on a 4:3 screen with 1280x1024 resolution, you could see or work on a full page (A4 or letter) directly. With 1920x1080 and the ribbon, this regressed to ~ 2/3rds of a page. With lots of useless space around.

Maybe it doesn't matter as much for spreadsheets. But for all else ... I can't curse snd swear properly, not in English nor in my native German, to express what I really feel about this pile of badness.
Modding games seems like a legal grey area. Permission hasn't been granted, but also, game developers already have your money and they know a lot of players would be unhappy if they tried to stop the modding.

There's two separate ideas here:

* Where to send a frame to get to the other side of the connection

* Whose connection this is.

TCP combined the two, because we didn't have mobile clients or a lot of multihomed systems that would benefit from distinguishing them. Also, every octet in the header counted.

In practice, this means we have to keep building a lot of infrastructure on top of TCP (or parallel to it, in datagram protocols) to handle retries and splitting flows well. In turn, these things are completely opaque to the network and it's difficult to write rules about them.

Whereas if we had different packet fields for "where am I sending this packet right now" and "whose flow does this belong to"? we could write better firewall rules, have less infrastructure built on top of TCP, and have better typical application performance.
Thanks for going through that! We used aerocompact, with 18” ground screws/anchors (a lot of them), and their engineering plans for our anticipated wind load didn’t even require all possible ground screw spots to be filled, so it seems like piles might not be strictly necessary?

With panels getting so much cheaper, is tracking necessary still? Maybe if land is at a premium, but I know the aerocompact commercial deployments don’t support tracking.
You can probably do a "true" pure C application (as in no Cocoa at all and no linking to objc-runtime) by dropping down to the CoreGraphics layer, but a lot of it is undocumented.

There's also Carbon (which I always assumed directly hit the same underlying quartz apis), but that's long deprecated and iirc never supported the UI portions in 64-bit
tptacek answered your question, but here's a rule for answering similar questions in the future: YC supports what founders choose. That's partly because it's the DNA of the organization (whose origins go back to a time when founders were much lower on the startup totem pole than they are today) and partly because it's a losing bet to do anything else (which is related).
Or at the very least release a short gameplay video so people know what they're getting into before paying.
Depends a bit on the use case. For personal photos, mobile photos and the like, I use Google Photo as well. But it just isn't suitable for professional storage or sorting IMHO, tho the face recognition is certainly neat. The best I've came across was FotoStation, but it's many years since I worked with those sorta things.
I'm psyched to see the market evolve in this way. All you need to do is look under the hood of an ICE car and you'll understand that electric cars can be dramatically cheaper than ICE cars. It's just a question of figuring out the right size for the batteries. I'm guessing they're getting the price down with a smaller battery. That may be all that some people need for daily driving, but it will exclude some long distance travellers.
I had ambitions of cranking out an MVP and pitching it to VCs in my late 20s. After a year of solid rejection ( including YC not even responding), I gave up.

You end up spending alot of time trying to pitch your work. I've had a few idea guys expect me to build MVPs for free with an offer of like 1% or something silly like that. Never any pay, poorly thought out concepts.

I've accepted I'm never going to be rich, it's easier this way.
> YC has a serious messaging problem

It does. I've met some founders who went with Tribe8 (edit: Team8) or Sequoia Surge due to YC messaging issues and the (imo incorrect) perception that it's B2C or SMB B2B SaaS oriented.

The Open-Core RFS will probably help though, but maybe highlighting additional successes beyond B2C or Coinbase types would help.

The market is tanking again and interest rates may go up and or continue into next year. YC graduates are expected to present and raise their seed rounds around Demo Day in 3-4 months. Raising any kind of money sets an interest rate that you pay with your equity % to investors (at high interest rates they expect to own more equity as time goes by.) What are the current fundraising terms you guys see for YC startups because the timing looks dicey for this cycle?

NVDA just tanked 10% today and with it a whole bunch of AI valuations. Did YC startups from in the 2022 batches see positives or negatives?

What is the upside to fundraising in the next few months vs waiting for a better environment? If we have a startup and it’s profitable, does it make sense to apply it to wait?
Further bikeshedding this, since the JEP admits regular clauses and Exception clauses should be kept separate as they are treated differently, we could as well retain the original catch syntax:

switch (f.get()) {
case Box(String s) when isGoodString(s) -> score(100);
catch InterruptedException ie -> ...ie...
};

Current try/catch gymnastics are laborious, requiring blocks making usage unwieldy in otherwise-one-line lambdas. Requiring "case throws" is yet more useless syntax inflation. It would be nice to keep things streamlined this once.
Any time you add a "new" security gate to your product, it should be in addition to and not instead of the existing gates. Biometrics should not replace username/password, they should be in addition to. Security Questions like "What was your first pet's name" should not be able to get you in the backdoor. SMS verification alone should not allow you to reset your password. Same with this voice authentication stuff. It should be another layer, not a replacement of your actual credentials.

If you treat it as OR instead of AND, then your security is only as good as the worst link in the chain.
When I've tried, occasionally, a lot of weed, in edible or otherwise, it just makes me nauseous, then fall asleep. So not the same experience here, unfortunately.
An Unfortunate Miscalculation
They are targeting Zionists. That the most active Zionist actors are Jewish doesn’t make it a witch hunt based on religion. Also lol at the level of Main Character Syndrome involved in using a phrase like “the self-determination of the people of Israel” - I wonder if any other people in those parts could do with some self-determination?
If TCP didn't use L3 source and destination addresses to distinguish connections, it could be more easily taught to deal with:

* Clients roaming between L3 addresses

* Clients/servers with multiple L3 addresses
I understand the protest is political. I'm wondering why they're wearing masks.
just pushes it underground

Why is this an argument? So push it underground. As a rule, old folks aren't going to take their pensions to Fast Freddy's strip club backroom poker nights. People think that because a law doesn't work 100 percent, it shouldn't exist.
Because programmers like to have something like DATA_DIR - a writable directory managed by the program.

Thinking about multiple storage locations is effort and most users don't care about this too much anyway
How do you think an Israeli who lost a relative when Hamas murdered hundreds of innocent civilians would feel about this little stunt in the workplace?

Maybe a relative of one of the ones whose bodies were mutilated and paraded around for all to see? You don't think that might touch a nerve?

Or on the opposite shoe: What if it were a bunch of Israeli employees who occupied that office demanding that google do MORE to support the war effort?

Leave your politics out of the workplace. This is not rocket science and the phenomenon we have nowadays where _everything_ must be co-opted for the political cause-du-jour is outright exhausting, even to people who support it.
> requires you to observe the efficacy of all methods of expanding human knowledge

I should have hedged with "all known methods". It's possible that someone might invent a more effective method (but I believe there is actually good reason to believe that this is not possible, but that's a tangent).

> preference utilitarianism sets the stage for social choice theory, in which theorems tell us about the properties and weaknesses of systems for groups of agents to collectively make choices (Arrow's theorem, Harsanyi's theorem etc).

Sure. So?

Arrow's theorem is a great example. It's a theorem. It's math. It's not what is generally done under the rubric of "philosophy".

> this does not mean that true properties of addition are "empirical" truths proceeding from science

Yes it does. What is the "true" value of (say) 11 + 27? It could be 38, but it could also be 1 (mod 12) or 13 (mod 24) any of which might be the "true" value depending on the application.

I dont want to be chanted at during the commute while the freeway is blocked. Chanted at during lunch at the cafe. Chanted at while looking at artwork defaced with mashed potatoes.

I dont care about your values. I trade time for money. Go away and stop telling me what to care about, I have a life of my own.
From a practical standpoint, do you just wait until they hit you up later asking for their money?
I'm not sure why you don't see this as a best of both worlds situation. It encourages EV adoption by dangling a carrot instead of using a stick.

The unfortunate reality is that EVs are still unaffordable for most people and don't seem on track to ever reach the <$15k car buyer. And it doesn't seem like EV By US standards I'm extremely well off and I've never even considered buying a $30k car which is the cheapest EV you can buy right now. You won't do anything to encourage EV adoption by making gas more expensive because the people who are the most price sensitive to gas can't make the switch and the people who aren't won't care and have to be convinced in some other way. You're just making most drivers worse off and getting nothing in return.
