I know that. I just threw that in because I've been doing game work in Rust and the graphics stack suffers from too few devs.

Better school software is worth another go-round, now that we have large language models.

Somebody already emailed me offering to fund the MoneyNow idea. That's a bad idea for another reason. The big problem with money transfer is fraud. PayPal is mostly a fraud-management service. Money transfer and user interface are the easy part.
I'm always confused by these Islamophobia charges. Christianity has similar backwards and violent rhetoric. Before the Reformation, non-Christians were right to fear Christians. Has Islam had a similar reformation of its violent precepts?
Movies are fiction. You can't make policies based on fiction. You could make policies based on real concern shown by the movies, but they have to be based on reality.
China needs to do two things to avoid war with the US: don’t invade Taiwan, don’t start fights with US allies in the Pacific. So far, they have been agitating for both of those things.
Thank you Greg, your feedback has been immensely helpful!

Only if there’s a language support for them. Like Rust, where I can concisely drop out of function if it’s an error case.

haha thanks good luck to you also!
Critique of Pure Reason is Kant. I thought you were making a joke based on the earlier mixup between Kant and Wittgenstein. Late Wittgenstein is Philosophical Investigations. There are also good texts on philosophy of language that excerpt from the major authors (including Wittgenstein) without requiring you to read the entirety of their books.
Ask HN: What makes you disable your adblocker?
We're in the stage of the adblocker cat and mouse game where sites will ask you to whitelist their site for their ads.

In most cases, the internet these days is unusable without an adblocker. But maybe there are some good faith actors out there that deserve to not have their ads blocked?

What sites do you have whitelisted on your adblocker? I personally have none.
There is an inverse relation between sites with ads, and sites that contain useful information that require time to look through. Open access journals, StackExchange, product support messageboards....none of these have ads.

In fact, it's the sites peddling trivial BS that are chock to the brim with ads.

It's kind of funny in a sad way that the push to classify Uber and other "gig" workers as employees just fucked over everyone else.

I wish politicians would work to separate healthcare and retirement (401k) from employment rather then trying to force everyone into traditional employment.

Pratt parsing is essentially hand-written LR. It's certainly bottom-up in the same way, despite Pratt's paper title.

"We consume the worklife of these people, which sure looks like employment, but we don't want to be held to account as their employer, so we're going to stop enforcing a standard for their rights and let the staffing firms compete in a race to the bottom"

Some people are going to point to regulation as the root of the problem and some to Google being exploitative, but ugh for the workers either way.
> Because that's where the land that doesn't already have a high-rise on it is.

True, but the people who want to live in a highrise also want to live in a city, not out in the suburbs.

Who are you (as the builder) selling these units to? Can you do so profitably if there's not that much demand for highrise living in the suburbs?
You don't need traction. Team is good because having a cofounder is statistically such a huge success factor. But YC does found solo founders, and you shouldn't make a team just to make your application look better - I'm pretty sure doing that would weaken your chances.
Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai received $226 million in total compensation in 2022.

That’s enough to give over 22 thousand 40 hour a week employees a $5/hour wage increase.

Instead they’re lowering pay via eliminating a minimum wage. Like I get it’s probably due to contractor/employer rules, but the optics are just bad.

I like to present questions to people to justify their position so that others reading the advice can better evaluate it, understand the reasons and make a more informed judgement on it.

I am also principled in critiquing an argument and never critiquing a person. I said that the advice you gave is a form of cargo culting, but I also said in the very first sentence that "I am not saying you are cargo cult programming".

I don't think there is anything wrong with getting into the subtleties of whether the advice is what you originally said it was, which is that longer names are better than shorter names, or whether the advice you learned was that descriptive names are better than non-descriptive names.

I think the subtlety between those two statements is not being appreciated and without a clear distinction other people may read that advice and take away the wrong conclusion.

Take care.
It’s not false, either. What were the stats on the last round? IIRC 20k applications and how many got there? It’s not zero, but it’s a small chance.
Arkell vs. Pressdram
I hadn't seen the Fourier paper before, nice. He doesn't really go into CO2 but focuses more on general atmosphere heating. I really appreciate the translator's notes.

Eunice Foot (1856) and John Tyndall (1859) independently characterized how CO2 absorbs radiant heat, and both postulated on the potential climate impacts. Tyndall is often given the credit as the founder of climate science but Foot was first.

And

And

> "But what ends up happening is that it's really Chinese people and Asian Americans here that end up being harmed by many of these statements and much of this discriminatory rhetoric, because it gives the general impression that it's OK to attack even Americans."

Agreed. Intel has pulled some amazing rabbits out of their hat over the years when they fell behind. I want to believe. If they pull it off this will be an amazing reinvention. But we have to be honest the smart money is probably on Intel being fabless when 18A and 14A drags on and they need to rely on TSMC
One problem I see for junior developers is that there is so much more churn in tech nowadays. It's just about manageable for seniors who already know the basics to keep up, but as a junior it's hard to build good basics if you've already exhausted all your brainpower learning $JS_FRAMEWORK_OF_THE_DAY.

Seniors' resume-driven-development is (even if unintentionally) making it much harder for any newcomers to break into the field.

Big fan of YC and pg. I'm waiting for some immigration related things to fall into place before I apply, but it's been several years. Potentially crass question: what is the age or industry experience distribution of a typical YC batch these days? Would a founding team in their early 40s be dinosaurs in a room full of young stars? Asking for a friend.
Sure, it’s subjective, but are you disagreeing that the new DDG chat button is unobtrusive?
Super great observation about the objectives! It started out with lies (er, let’s say “excuses”) but it’s broadened into more conversational goals. I need to highlight this more.

Specifically, re: flattening the strategy, spot on and I’m excited to introduce more long term repercussions for lying. There are some long-range dialog repercussions now, but not many. Having to craft a consistent narrative across the whole game (“Overboard” comes to mind if you’ve played that) would be wildly interesting.

Loud and clear re: demo and highlighting voice!
>> The Norse colonization didn't seem to have a major impact on major agricultural populations in North America, perhaps because they landed in remote regions of Greenland and Canada with low population densities

The Norse didn't travel to North America directly from Europe. For them to spread smallpox, someone from Europe would have had to travel to Greenland shortly before they left for North America. Then they would have had to come into close contact with Indians before the disease ran its course among the crew, which, given the close contact on a small sailing vessel, probably wouldn't take long.
Nope, not a joke. Just the same mistake I made originally. I guess I have conflated Kant and Wittgenstein in my mind even more thoroughly than I thought.

How? It's fine to have on people with all different viewpoints, including awful ones, but I think pushing back when they're on some bullshit is good and necessary. Otherwise you're just uncritically spreading fake junk to a huge audience, which leads to more people believing in fake junk.
isn't this just correlation vs causation?

2 people submit the same idea. 1 gets in, the other doesn't. yc, basing their decision on the founder themselves and not so much the idea, chose person 1, who had more of the founder characteristics (determination, ... i forget the rest).

maybe there's a higher chance that between 2 people, 1 from harvard 1 not, the harvard person has those characteristics. could be they "learnt" it there, or they had to use those same skills to even get into harvard, or whatever. but it doesn't mean they got in because of the harvard degree

apply that same logic of thousands of people, maybe it looks like they prefer harvard candidates.

As someone who grew up with these games, I played through and liked MI3 when it came out it, but the graphics style always felt off to me.

The exaggerated art style didn't mesh with that of the first two games. The art style of the first two is of course whimsical, but it's within the realm of photorealism. MI3, however, leans heavily into the Chuck Jones style of cartoons, with huge heads and spindly bodies, against super-exaggerated backgrounds where not a single straight corner can be seen.

It's not just that Guybrush looks completely different in MI3 — he's certainly not a tall, lanky fellow in MI1-2 (though in the "remastered" versions LucasArts retconned his look) — he feels like an entirely new and different character. The world also feels like a different universe entirely. It's a different island, sure, but it just doesn't feel like the dark and atmospheric environment of the first two games.

There's overall a weird lack of continuity here, and the heritage of Day of the Tentacle is apparent. DotT is of course about as Chunk Jones-y as you can get, with a huge dab of the wacky art style of Ren & Stimpy and Animaniacs. MI3 feels designed by people who wanted to do their own thing.

What's really weird and off-putting is the art style of MI6. I don't know what they were thinking. I guess they didn't think Guybrush was thin enough in the previous iterations?
Some is very different than every.

Banning subsidized travel to casino’s alone would go quite far. Similarly banning slot machines from having sound, flashing lights, animations etc would reduce though obviously not eliminate the draw.
Forgetting something like the footer thing happens. Forgive yourself for it. Maybe set a calendar event now for one month out from the next batch. It's how my ADHD brain remembers things.

As for the 'uncredentialed' thing, there are a ton of forces at play and I'm sure there will be more credentialed folks applying due to financial and access reasons. I'm an uncredentialed person (state SUNY school) who got flown out for an interview for YC Winter 2020. I didn't get selected due to my proposal itself and shortcomings within it, not due to a lack of any credentials. I enjoyed the experience and learned a bit about it. I may apply again at some point for another venture I'm working on.

Seamonkey used to be simply be known as "Mozilla" or "Mozilla Application Suite", and was the original browser by Mozilla before they decided to spin off the code into the "Phoenix" and "Thunderbird" projects. Originally the plan was that Mozilla was a browser for developers and that consumers would use Netscape. However AOL laid off the Netscape developers in 2003 and focus was switched to making Phoenix, which was then called Firebird the main product of the Mozilla project, and it become known as Firefox in 2004. I was around for the original 1.0 releases of Firefox and Mozilla, and after it was clear that Firefox was more popular than the Mozilla Application Suite it was spun off into the Seamonkey project, taking the name from the original codename used in the development of the browser. In recent years, the legacy code of Seamonkey means that its rendering engine hasn't kept up with Firefox, meaning that most modern sites don't work with it anymore, but it is an interesting historical browser who's user interface hasn't changed much since the 2000s, compared to Firefox which changes its user interface regularly.
It seems to be a problem with the certificate. The http version is good.

It's kind of funny the way I noticed this: I consume the RSS feed for the Paul Graham's essays he has setup in there (https://www.aaronsw.com/2002/feeds/pgessays.rss). When I check my RSS reader for problematic feeds, sure enough I got an error for that feed.

Anyway, is anyone responsible for that site?
Yeah I like his content too, but I'm far from revering him this way (and I see a lot of comments like yours). By the way I also respect how good he is at monetizing this, however... Internet both as a technology and even more as a community was founded by scientists whom were a bit later joined by (also often same people were doing both) people doing and creating things non-commercially, as a hobby, because they simply enjoy them, and so on (I'm speaking mostly of Usenet newsgroups in the latter part, as the early form of that). I don't see how (consensually) sharing content for free is "crazy". That's just the way, the Internet way. Maybe it's just the demographic cohort of enjoyers of his content largely overlaps with the cohort of customers of commercial video streaming platforms which creates a feeling like that.

Not the developer, but chances are, they are either using a fine-tuned ChatGPT, or cloud-hosting something in the likes of Llama. So they are getting quite a bill each month from one of the 3 cloud landlords.

So until they find a good product/market fit, opening the floodgates to free users would just drain whatever money they raised faster than they would get any meaningful market response.
Are they? Both have been acquired by the same holding company.
I balked at that too, because infinite mirrors and mirror houses also don't show any wavelenght shift no matter how many reflections they do. They do change perceived amplitude, as no mirror is perfectly reflective.
"It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle - they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments." - Alfred North Whitehead, "An Introduction to Mathematics", pp. 45–46
I wonder if there is any rules now for funded folks coming to one's linkedin saying "Hey, thank you so much for starring {{insert here YC-AI repo}} on github, that means a lot" when one's never even heard about them before.

When you consider who's running it, it makes perfect sense.

Only a moron of the scope of Musk would own an EV company, and then become a literal Nazi online alienating the left leaning people, you know, the kind of people interested in climate change, technology and EVs, and cater non-stop to right wingers, the kind of people who think climate change is a hoax, "EVs are for pussies", and love coal rolling.

> for eugenics, these “desired” traits pretty much boils down to upper class, white, man

That's entirely your extrapolation. One can advocate for the "breeding out" of hereditary genetic diseases. Not that I would. But such a thing is certainly in the realms of possibility.

> The second quote is a recommendation the same way as governments “recommended” the poor, the disabled, and the indigenous, to use birth control.

Governments may have had such policies in the past to reduce certain populations. But Downs isn't a hereditary disease and is just as likely for "upper class white" people as the categories you mention. Such abortions would not have any measurable genetic effect on the population. He's only saying that he thinks bringing the child into the world would cause more suffering than it's worth. I'm not sure I agree 100% but I certainly sympathise. As recent parents, my partner and I had to have the discussion about what we'd do if the 20-week genetic screening revealed something like Downs. To be frank, we probably wouldn't have gone ahead with it. Many, many other parents would make that choice in that situation.
