It's great to read conversation of towering HN experts in the field.

Lisper, as I understand this part -

> In order to have kinematic skills, something in your brain must be doing something that can be equated by some mapping to solving kinematic equations

you're talking about an equivalent of YeGoblynQueenne's

> that humans ... do not find solutions to kinematic equations, but instead use simple heuristics that exploit our senses and body configuration, like placing their hands in front of their eyes so that they line up with the ball

So to me the question is, is it correct? Can "mapping to solve kinematic equation" be the same as "simple heuristic... like placing hands in from of eyes"?

Physically this equivalence seems at least plausible.

Now, about

> neurons operate according to laws having to do with electrical impulses

- can't we have those kinematic equations solving, or, in other words, applying simple heuristics, as a trained combination of such neuronal activity?
Worst possible thing is that bozos learn the closed source model. The closed source model only worked because they had the Great SJ.
> A central bank would create new money, adding it to their liabilities, and then give it away, receiving... nothing?

Central bank would get government bonds, as you mentioned. Of course, the lions share needs to be offset through a cut from a country's economy, however you organize it (taxes, social security), and bonds cover the variations over a few generations. But there is no real upside when handling that via middle men.
Don't Japanese people have smartphones or tablets with navigation on them that they can use? I'd rather cars just have a place I can mount my own device, rather than include any kind of screen whatsoever with crappy un-updated, un-maintained software.
I like Kagi. It's not great for images or videos at this stage, but it is good for general search because you can personalize the rankings of the results. And they are introducing improvements all the time.
Yes, this idea of collaborative proofs has been around for a while now, at least for 10 years: https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.6186
People seem a bit confused. There are a few separate legal questions here:

1. Whether Congress can ban noncompetes nationwide through its ability to regulate interstate commerce.

2. Whether Congress can say "so-and-so can make any laws he wants about x".

3. Whether this is in scope of the FTC's mission of preventing unfair trade practices.

To me, #1 is a clear no for intrastate agreements, but under Wickard it is constitutional.

#2 is yes under Chevron.

#3 seems an obvious yes.

The only question would be if SCOTUS decides now is the time to correct what it sees as prior incorrect decisions.
The US government could stop giving aid to Israel six months ago and it would have done nothing to discourage or stop Israel from doing what its done in Gaza since Oct 7, because its neither contingent on US funding nor US or UN approval.

First of all the military conflict in Gaza is asymmetric warfare, unlike Ukraine - Israel does not need any more money or weapons than it already has to destroy buildings. They already have everything they need, they already had it five years ago. No US military funding or weapons required.

Second, this is like 9/11 for Israel in terms of # of deaths of citizens (oct 7). They are not acting in a calculated manner but a vengeful manner. The UN could condemn them and nothing would happen. They have and will pursue this unless they are prevented forcefully, not merely criticized or tsk tsk'd.

The only thing that might do something to stop them from doing what they have done / are doing is economic sanctions or military intervention. But both those measures could be applied equally to Darfur or any other ongoing conflict, many of which are far more deadly than the war in Gaza currently. So it really isn't that different from those other conflicts, except optically (we love to hate on rich "white" people harming poor brown people, but when brown people kill brown people in Africa we don't really care, or Asian people kill Asian people, etc).
There was an interesting point in the recent Acquired podcast about Microsoft vs IBM. Supposedly IBM revenue only decreased after 2012 and Microsoft only passed it in revenue in 2015.
My understanding is that in many (but not all) cases they're gramatically interchangeable, but imply different levels of directness. Something like the difference between "I see you" (direct) and "I can see you" (indirect), with a general preference for the latter in polite conversation. It's not a perfect comparison because in English both usages of see are transitive, but hopefully the general idea comes across.

Circling back to the original discussion: I'd say that it's better to compare the past & non-past tenses of Japanese verbs:

- "Thank you" in the past tense ("ありがとうございました") conveys that you are thankful for acts already rendered and that you do not intend to impose further.

- "Thank you" in the non-past tense ("ありがとうございます") conveys that you are actively thankful, generally when the act in question is still in progress or otherwise not yet completely rendered.

This is a nuance that English renders trivial with a simple "Thank you", much like Japanese renders trivial the difference between a completed "look" and an incomplete "see".

New rules take time. Depending on the complexity of the regulation it can take a year or two to write (lots of internal reviews) and then there's a long statutorily-required public comment period during which an agency is required to read and address every comment. For this regulation, the public comment period appeared to start Jan 8, 2023.

You can see the public history here: https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2023-0007/document
"all that maths is fun" uh-huh.

How someone designed this product and figured out where all the resistors, oscillators, crystals and flip-flop chips and other pointy out things go where and were while ensuring it's tuning to 15.something mhz is beyond me.

Very cool though, I really envy knowledge of such.

1) Kindle/Goodreads, streaming service watchlists, iTunes playlists

2) Zero times. I do use ArchiveBox for snapshotting interesting articles and searching for them later, but mostly out of fear of some things falling off the Internet (which is increasingly common)

3) In practice, very very seldom. I stopped using delicious and Instapaper and whatever else because search is a solved problem.

4) Mountains of documents and plaintext notes, with file names prefixed with YYMMDD. Seriously, I can track down what I was doing ten years ago in under 5 seconds.

5) The fact that people keep reinventing note-taking apps and none of them do what I need, so I stick with my wiki (taoofmac.com) and my filesystem + Spotlight.
I don't see why subjective morals cannot be realistically followed. Do you mean that it will mean sufficiently different things for different people that they any promise of this shape will not communicate much to strangers, or something else?
No, though they should have a real hardware version of the machine here on earth, to test out hypotheses.

I think that it is too early for you to do this.
I would not go down the agency route, unless you have clear personas, messaging, targeting, and have managed agencies in the past so you can quickly assess all of the available options. Use an agency to scale what you have found to work (even if you only tested it on 10 ppl), otherwise they will be spinning their wheels trying to learn about your offering, customers, competitors, etc. to come up with strategy and plans.

I would not recommend you hire a consultant to own marketing until you have a clear understanding of your ideal customer and targets. You need to be sure about your ideal customers' company profile and pain points at a minimum. However, a consultant can help with well defined projects, especially if they require a specific kill sit (i.e. build 200 programatic pages for SEO to feature all of our integrations / programming languages we support/ SDKS, etc.).

I would recommend you lean into your VCs and network and speak with people that have done what you are looking to do. Your VCs might have a network of talent that is open to be non paying advisors (I do this myself).

In terms of growth motions you can put in play today, I would recommend you start documenting some of the cool things you are working on/ learning and posting that on your blog, and invest in documentation. Content is king, but it is a long game so I would start there. Another tactic you can deploy today is to start bidding on your brand name in Google Ads, to make sure you come up on the first page for that search. It shouldn't be too expensive either as it is your brand name. Look at that first page of results and see if you can find ways to add more links to that first page (do you have a LinkedIn page? What about a X account? Are you on Chunchbase? What about G2 and other product listing sites?)

Once you have done this, have had at least 20 conversations with your ideal target that is not from within your network and you still feel indicators of product-market fit, then look for a fractional CMO with experience with your market and buyer.

Generally, I wound't recommend you start paying for someone to own marketing until your seed round.
Anecdotally, women care more about strangers than men do. Men also go along with my amoral schemes much more than women do.
I really wish they'd remake this game - it was the best.
Same story, same turn based game play, same maps, update graphics, that's all it needs.

GM's plan is to sell a subscription service that covers all the things you already pay for on your phone (maps, music streaming, etc). It's why they're killing CarPlay, because they know that even if their service is good, nobody will pay $20/mo for shit they already get for free on their phones.

Basically, their goal in life is to be a worthless middleman who takes peoples money while providing no real value to society.
Pardon my language but the patent thing has turned into a **** measuring contest, and serves no useful purpose.

When I worked at FAANG you had a whole class of PE engineer who literally couldn’t build anything to save their lives. But they would constantly file patents with a frenzy like IT guys rack up certifications. Of course when the patent office gets an application from $FAANG they approve it.

And people who aren’t in the know just see patent on the resume and keep hiring these people thinking they are the next Elon Musk or something, unfortunately.
Well, the idea with this layout is that there isn't really an inherit order to the children. You would use it where it doesn't matter which order you 'read' the items.

If the order was important, you would use a 1D or 2D layout.
For what it's worth, I do not remember a time when YouTube's suggestions or search results were good. Absurdities like that happened 10 and 15 years ago as well.

These days my biggest gripe is that they put unrelated ragebait or clickbait videos in search results that I very clearly did not search for - often about American politics.
Local property taxes are a part of funding for most. However, most state and federal funds try to reduce the bias by providing more funding to the poorer schools. Some places might have large funding differences, but many are pretty close, including the ones we looked at.

It seems like the private school didn't really have the diversity or anti-bullying in their pitch. Probably since they had other things to pitch. I'm not sure the public schools had anything else to pitch (except one had a pool).

> If you didn't know your hair grew, could you track the amount that it grows in 24 hours by looking in a mirror?

Why in the world would I want to track that? It's not a good measure; it's a dumb measure. Nobody sane measures their hair in 24 hour increments. I don't know anybody who measures their hair at all. Even hair stylists eyeball it!

> The beauty of a true good measure (ie, a scale or other measuring device) is that you can track actual discrete progress over a very short time span.

This is a mistake, in my opinion. People are too obsessed with measuring their weight weekly, or even daily. That's not a good measure. Health is a marathon, not a sprint. The key is persistence: stick with the exercise, stick with the diet, and the results will come in time. A week is nothing. Even a month is practically nothing. Progress is never magically uniform. Plateaus and even setbacks are inevitable. Impatience just leads to premature doubt and failure. It's really about changing your lifestyle permanently rather than some temporary weight loss gimmick. I've never thought in terms of losing N pounds. I think in terms of becoming a healthier, fitter person, and losing N pounds is simply a side effect of that.
pain around defining your ICP, testing messaging and targeting, conducting customer research, etc.
Thank you! I'll give it a try :)
> wait, are building codes currently not copyrighted?

My understanding is that this is what is currently being argued about. Traditionally, the codes have been copyrighted, but more recently, people have argued that the law must be public (reasonable) and therefore if the law says "follow standard X", then standard X must therefor be public. It's still being argued, and this proposed law is an attempt to clarify this, supporting the pro-copyright side.

Not a lawyer.

Raghavan's story is an inspiration. He learned the hard way that you are either growing or you are dying, and if revenue declines, you need to turn it around prontissimo, or hope you find the next profit center in time. It's the comeback story of the generation.

Don't forget, the purpose of corporations is to make money for their owners. It does no good to say that delighting customers or providing the best product will make the most money in the long run--clearly, that is not the case.
Not only that, most of the other examples are just not at the end of their death spiral yet. Take a look at Windows market share, it's down 20% over the last 10 years:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/218089/global-market-sha...

And that's just desktop. Microsoft ceded the entire mobile market, which in turn now represents the majority of devices. The majority of the company's profits no longer come from selling Windows and Office. If they hadn't pivoted into a new line of business (Azure) they'd be on a trajectory to impact with the ground.

IBM has been bleeding customers -- and business units -- for decades. Their stock is flat, not even keeping up with inflation, compared to +300% over the last decade for the overall market. And they have no obvious path to redemption.

Oracle is kind of an outlier because of the nature of their business. Their product has an extraordinarily high transition cost, so once you're locked in, they can fleece you pretty hard and still not have it cost more than the cost of paying database admins high hourly rates for many hours to transition to a different database. Then they focus their efforts on getting naive MBAs to make a one-time mistake with a long-term cost. Or just literal bribery:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/27/sec-fines-oracle-23-million-...

And even with that, their database market share has been declining and they're only making up the revenue in the same way as Microsoft through cloud services.

Meta isn't a great example because people just don't hate them that much. Facebook sucks but in mostly the same ways as their major competitors, they're still run by the founder and they do things people like, like releasing LLaMA for free.
This is happening to me to, but from the kind of videos it's suggested for I suspect that people actually do tend to rewatch those particular videos, hence the recommendation.
On _average_ they last enough. Problem is that sudden failure can happen at anytime, even at 161k miles or so.

While I don't disagree with anything you've said I don't see a viable path to change. Step 1A is wresting control of legislative bodies from the most well funded individuals and corporate entities on the planet.
Twitter has polls. Facebook has polls. Instagram has polls. TikTok has polls from what I can tell. Reddit has polls. I could probably go on.

Marketing gimmicks absolutely still work even if you know about them because they take advantage of basic human psychology so when you're tired/hungry/sleepy or otherwise not operating at peak performance, your lizard brain/autopilot takes over and you choose what's been chosen for you.

Ask HN: Why are there many philanthropists among billionaires

The original claim in the code dump is that no ML tools are used at all and the tool is just leaning on Playwright to automate specific actions on a website.

The CEO here is claiming that the ML code is being run outside this code base and that the original claim is being made by someone who doesn't know how the code works.

The CEO's mention of sanitized code isn't as clear to me, that can mean different things. Compiled code can be considered sanitized since it likely isn't human readable, obfuscated code makes that harder, and removing some code all together would be the most effective. The problem with removing code all together is that you would still find code paths that just can't be executed at all, leaving some trail of what code was removed. That wouldn't leak any secrets obviously, but would support the argument that code has been removed and the codebase is being misread.
I think it means to say that:

I’m not sure I understand your last statement there. It sounds like ultimately it did become easy, but it took awhile to figure out what worked for you. That’s the thrust of my point actually; you have to figure out what works for you within the context of calories in / calories out.

Firstly, to clarify, there's nothing very special about 'gaming ram' other than the particular chunk of silicon performs better than others so they stuck a shiny sticker and an oversized heatsink on.

The problem here is the latency is state dependent and who knows what people are talking about here. The memory itself can have a latency 1-3x the CAS Latency number and you need to understand how DRAM is accessed to appreciate why. Which will also clarify why an L3 cache is such a good idea.

> For a completely unknown memory access (AKA Random access), the relevant latency is the time to close any open row, plus the time to open the desired row, followed by the CAS latency to read data from it.

(It's actually worse than than for DDR5.)

Then you've got some small time going to and from the controller, which might also be doing some address translation, maybe some access reordering to avoid switching rows. I think 30ns is very optimistic.
XAML poorly reimplements half of CSS layout, and then gives up and tells you to write your own manually positioned layout with terrible performance.

I'm not a senior executive, but I'm curious about:

"existing noncompetes for senior executives can remain in force."

So what happens to these people, are they stuck with the noncompete forever?

so if they leave, they can still be sued?

or is it that they can't start a competing business at the same time?
It's enough funding to show significant progress and raise more.
