And you are doing exactly what I said: straight to the most powerful opiod available. Fentanil is bad, lets outlaw shrooms, LSD, MDMA, marihuana... But leave out alcohol because...? Ah, yes, because when it was ilegal, mafia, violence and damages related to them were worse than ever.

Also notice how heroin and fentanil are currently illegal. Everywhere. How is it going? I guess there are no addicts, or people stealing cars to get their fix. Because that only happens when they are legal, isn't it?

Somehow we know that ilegalization solves nothing or create worse problems like mafias and linked violence, and still believe that it's the solution.

I don't think the price is the biggest problem.

I used to own two generations of Oculus Quest devices and while they wowed me and got me to buy several games that wowed me even more, I eventually sold them because they were gathering dust.

Do you see the problem? If not, I'll go deeper. I rarely used them despite the wow factor since I rarely had the motivation of strapping them to my face and wearing them for too long despite me not having issues sitting playing PC games for hours or being for hours on my phone. Do you see the issues now? It was not a comfort issues, it was a motivation issue. It's just much less friction to stare a screens around you than strapping goggles to your face and wearinng them for long.

Wow factor is not enough, and neither is being cheaper. You need to convince people why they should strap goggles to their face and wear them prolonged.

The gap between woowing people and getting the to use some long therm is huge. While is why apple's VP and the other VR Googles are failing mainstream.

Thanks for your response. So far, we've been trying to reinvest our revenue into dev, Ips, etc... Here in Denmark, the tax system isn't very startup-friendly. So we're currently working on relocating to the US.

I’ll be researching the term "cattle versus pets" in sales, which is interesting and I'd never heard it before.

Regarding the sales team, I heard from Jason, the founder of Saastr, that offering a base salary with a commission structure up to a certain cap could be a good approach. This way, there's a strong incentive for the salespeople, while also ensuring they generate at least as much revenue for the company as they take home. I’m still unsure about the next steps because we're running on the blade with unexpected expenses like a massive one-night 10B request DDoS attack and a dispute over our logo with Apple.

Thanks
Many (most?) software supply chain attacks that I have observed in the wild over the last 10 years started with compromised user level credentials, or bad actors with (at the time) legit access.

My current thinking is there are too many ways in to protect yourself with 100% security, so better to spend time figuring out how to reduce the blast radius, and what your recovery protocol will be when you get hit.

I’d say interfaces are part of the problem. People are happy to change interfaces when it makes the implementation of a component easier. I’ve seen interfaces change without notice and this imposes maintenance overhead.

I’d say that complexity is the other part of the problem. As developers, we like to organize functionality into packages, and version them based on the type of changes we make. We like layers of abstraction to contain classes of problems to work on them independently. But all software is a list of instructions, and all the ways that they can interact cannot be categorized in a Symantec version number, or a unit test. Subtle changes can break functionality in surprising ways.

It's a chicken-egg problem. You won't even see 10% of the bugs lurking in your game without releasing it to a wider audience, no matter how long you worked on it or how good your QA process is (that's what Steam's Early Access is for after all). YMMV depending on the complexity of the game of course.

But even if your game code is perfect and completely bug free, there are so many weird PC configs and buggy drivers in the wild that your game will crash for some users. And for the affected users it doesn't matter whether that crash is caused by crappy game code, or some crappy 3rd party software interfering with your game. For the user it's always the game's fault ;)
That doesn't seem to be at all what they're saying, but in any case I checked SurrealDB (biggest Rust DB I could find) and there was exactly one report of a segfault and the developers couldn't reproduce it.

As far as I can tell about 5% of mariadb bugs mention segfaults, compared to 0.2% for SurrealDB.

I mean it's fairly obvious that even if some code in a Rust database is `unsafe` because it deals with manual paging and DMA and whatever, most of the code is going to be safe code.
> Code left alone "does not rust".

I think I am uniquely qualified to speak authoritatively on this subject as I regularly work in code bases dating back to the mid 1950s (nearly 70 years old if you are counting).

Code left alone absolutely does rust. Everything around the code changes, you can wax philosophically about how "technically the code didn't rust the world did", but at the end of the day that old code aged into a position where it no longer functions optimally or even correctly.

Just to tease with an example, the original machine some of this code was written for only had a few kilobytes of memory, half of which was taken up by the OS and compiler. In order to fit the problem you are working on into memory, they effectively wrote a custom swap allocator that looked and felt like you were using in-memory arrays but were actually using tape storage. Fast forward to today where we have a single compute node with 128 physical CPU cores and a terabyte of memory, the code still diligently uses disk storage to minimize RAM consumption but runs like dog shit on a single thread anyways. Not to mention all the integers used to store pointers have had to be widened over the years as you went from 48 bit words to 32 bit words to 64 bit words.

For anyone who hasn't played this before, you should know that the references to addiction are not jokes (for many people, at least). I played for a while, and had a blast doing so, but after I had achieved the simplest nominal 'victory' and noticed I was still compelled to disposed of a couple of good weekends towards meeting some self imposed challenged I felt it was time to stop.

I didn't have the discipline to just play occasionally, but I did have the discipline to delete the game and all my saves and blueprints one day, and I'm very glad I did. I recommend any player at least consider whether they should do the same.

Repeat, I had a great time, the community is great too, but the only way I could sustainably stop myself from turning that into a big waste of time was to delete the game.

To be clear, I'm not a defender of the US system. I vehemently hate it. Im just explaining why costs are so high.

It is high because of the system structure and the fact that most people are willing to tolerate.

I'm pushing back on the moronic idea that prices are high because drug companies are too “greedy“ in the US, but the same exact company is mysteriously less greedy in the EU or AUS. The difference is that insurance in those places negotiate a lower price, so they get one!

Insurance companies in the US operate on a cost plus basis, so they want prices as high as possible.

Medical bankruptcies do happen in the US, at a rate of about 1 per 1,000 people per year.

That type of wording reduces programming to a mere policy-translation job, not a policy-making job.
Well, I said I meant the tape of a Turing machine (irrespective of its size), or the RAM of a physical computer, and that I suspected that such memory is different from other states in that read/write operations have specific lower time complexity.

> A Turing machine’s infinite tape is what stops it being a finite state machine.

Well, that's if you accept the usual automata theory definition, which was what I was arguing against. Part of having an "infinite tape" memory is not just that it is infinite, but also that it is a tape. A pushdown automaton also has infinite "memory" (though a stack, not a tape memory with random access), but it is still not equivalent to a Turing machine. Nor is it equivalent to a finite state machine.

Basically, what I suspect is that the type of "memory" system that some automaton allows determines its computational power, not whether the memory or the maximum number of its states is infinite or not.

>For the first two decades of the century, what it meant to be Texan—as explained by the state’s politicians—was largely wrapped up in a feeling of competition with California

Completely asymmetrical, however. California does not define itself in terms of Texas.

>Technologists started picking up sticks in Taxifornia and moving to the Lone Star State in greater numbers.

>Meanwhile, Texas is not a low-tax, low-service state, as is commonly held. It’s a high-tax, low-service state: we may have no income tax, but at least one study found that we have one of the ten highest total tax burdens in the nation, with property taxes making up most of the gap. The quality of state services, however, has not improved commensurate with the growth of state budgets.

Imagine if this truth were more widely known, along with the fact that California pays federal taxes at a disproportionately higher rate than other states[0] and yet receives back less federal spending. California's degree of taxation without representation at the federal level is part of the reason why state taxes are so high, but this is never mentioned when discussing the topic.

[0]a middle income CA taxpayer on average pays more federal tax than a middle income taxpayer in the South because there is no tax rate and tax deduction adjustment for different cost of living regions -- simple example is business deduction for standard mileage, which does not reflect CA higher cost of gasoline.
Meta has just released another in a series of extraordinary models that are already being abused to flood the crawlable web with regurgitated generative uncanny-valley material.

If you had an appreciation for emissions technology and policy you would be able to see how it has swung past the point of it's intended purpose. People are dismantling new engines to find all kinds of issues that will severely limit the useful life of the vehicle and/or cost the consumer a ridiculous amount of money in repair or replacement costs.

The lengths to which manufacturers have gone to "hit the numbers" has resulted in these major deficiencies. This has all formed out in the last decade. Previous to that, a lot of the emissions standards had a positive affect (in most cases).

The automotive manufacturers and the regulators are colluding without enough transparency and it has corrupted the process.

I'm not the OP but have similar tastes.

Exapunks just never clicked for me in the way that the other Zach games did. Perhaps it was too visual, or perhaps the problems didn't sit well with how I problem solve.

I don't like to look at guides, yet it took me a long time to hit a wall in TIS-100 . But the wall I did hit was "Signal Window Filter" which involved delayed state.

A lot of the exapunk problems felt much closer to that style of problem, so perhaps it's just a blindspot of my own reasoning.
It doesn't only repeat things it's heard before. Have you ever talked with an LLM?
Far too many people (including AI researchers themselves) fail to see that all LLMs are actually simple machines. Extremely simple machines that are only mechanically following a relatively simple programming path.

Now before anyone gets too caught up with objecting to this notion, I would seriously suggest that you spend time with observing children from new-born to 2 years.

I have been observing my latest granddaughter sine her birth about 16 months ago and thinking about every public LLM system current;y available.

There is an insight here to be obtained and that insight is in the nature of real intelligence.

On the whole, no-one actually knows what intelligence is or what sentience is or what it means to be cognitively conscious. There is still much research going on and nothing actually definitive has come forth yet. We really are at the beginning in terms of studying these areas.

We can certainly produce some incredible systems, but none of them are intelligent per se. Solutions to certain kinds of problems can be achieved using these systems and there are researchers who are seriously looking at incorporating these systems into CAS and theorem provers. These systems though only provide an augmentation service for a person as does every mechanical system we use

But there is an essential component necessary for the use of all LLMs which many seem to not be cognisant of and that is these systems, to be useful, require humans to be involved.

The questions we have to ask ourselves is: what can we use these systems for and do these uses provide benefits in some way or can these systems be abused by various parties in obtaining control over others?

There are benefits and there are abuses. Can we do better or will we do worse by using them?

Show HN: Restaurant/Grocery Menu and Ordering API for 1.1M Stores (US and CA)
We spent the past 5 years developing technology to pull real-time menus/grocery store inventory and submit orders. We first made a consumer app that helped you to find the best online ordering deal, and we would link you out of the app (Like KAYAK). Then, we decided we needed to have ordering on our app, so we built the tech to get menus/inventory and send in orders (Like Expedia). We grew our app to 1,210,200 users and decided to pivot B2B and offer other companies the ability to pull menus/inventory and send in orders. We now have dozens of companies such as TripAdvisor using our API. Here are a few live examples:
