There are languages that have fully codified grammar which completely covers everything people actually use (and more). But we spend 10 years learning the grammar itself 1-2 hours every day at school (then you have literature etc on top of that)...

I see it as a complete waste of my youth, BTW. Today I speak English that I learned through listening, reading and watching, and all of this mother tongue grammar nonsense that used to stress me out daily at school and during homework is absolutely useless to me.

Lithium is everywhere, mostly in lowish concentrations but there's a lot of it. Way more than we'll ever need. The trick is extracting it economically.

It comes in several forms. Brines and mineral deposits. Brines are a form of very salty water that form when most of the water evaporates. Chile conveniently has some salt planes where that has happened naturally. The dead sea is very rich in lithium too. The salt lakes in Utah have plenty of lithium. And apparently Cornwall has some underground brines that have high concentrations of lithium. And actually our oceans are full of lithium too; albeit in lowish concentrations. The reason it's in water everywhere is because it leaches out from the earth crust. Those Cornish brines are the result of underground water being heated up geothermally and extracting lithium from granite.

Extracting lithium from brines or sea water can be done through evaporation or through filtering. There are some companies experimenting with filtering using nano technology. The advantage is that it is less energy intensive and you need way less clean water. And you can extract all sorts of stuff from these brines as they contain more than just lithium.

Mineral deposits in clays and rocks are also fairly common. There are viable lithium mines in many countries. Most of these are not being exploited because demand for lithium wasn't that high until only a few years ago. Also, it used to be a relatively worthless waste material that you'd have to separate from copper in copper mining and that would then get dumped. It's only fairly recently that lithium became valuable enough to bother to extract it.

And of course there's a rapidly growing third source of lithium that's very convenient to extract because it occurs in super high concentrations: all the products we make that have lithium in them. Like batteries. The lithium isn't actually consumed or lost when these products reach their end of life. Lithium recycling is becoming a big industry. Right now the demand for lithium is still growing rapidly so only a fraction of the demand can be met through recycling. But in a few decades that should taper off. At that point most of our lithium needs could come from recycling.

There's no shortage of lithium and there never will be. There are temporary dynamics where bringing new lithium production online simply takes time and money which is why prices were high a few years ago and are trending down lately. Actually, Bloomberg NEF recently published a report where they note that it seems we are heading for significant over production of lithium batteries. So, they are predicting price jobs and cancellations for a lot of the already committed investments on that front. https://about.bnef.com/blog/china-already-makes-as-many-batt...

What narrative? Your comment is vague. Would you mind expanding on this accusation and how it relates to open source, especially when today's maintainers on platforms like GitHub and GitLab have an array of tools at their disposal to deal with issues?
Pine64 has been doing much better in that matter for years, I've had a Pine64 since 2016 and a raspberry pi 4 running the same OS (dietpi) and software kept running hotter even though it got released 3 years later and for double the price

It doesn't say anything about CORS in the networking tab: https://i.imgur.com/yeH6bGi.png

It correctly identifies that Twitter is trying to load a tracking site, which Firefox blocks by default (with an allowlist). Instead of hating on Firefox, hate on Chrome and other browser vendors that don't go to the effort of maintaining a blocklist to protect their customers privacy (or implementing support for an existing blocklist, in the case of Brave)
In so many ways raising funding is just like applying for a job. Here's what I can do, give me money.

The only difference is that the VC pays you your salary (and all your other expenses) in advance. And let's you keep some of the upside. By contrast an employer pays you a salary, and your (work) expenses as you go.

The VC "implies" by their funding how long your contract is. The employee goes "forever".

So all the things that apply to job-hunting apply to VC funding (Amplified). And make no mistake, the VC becomes your boss.

Once you understand it in these terms you can best evaluate if VC funding is for you.
That’s a good point! I did’t even think about that. For Stitch to become self hosting, we’d either have to implement those instructions, or implement a fallback mode using an interpreter loop with a trampoline. The latter would negate most of the speed benefits of Stitch though.
The contact with passengers is sometimes very unpleasant (basically in every bigger city there is a neighbourhood where drivers don't like to serve, given the risk of being robbed or at least spat and cursed upon)...

Consistent getting up at 4 AM would be probably better than the irregular shifts that are the norm. You get up at 4 AM three days in a row, then you only have duties in the afternoon, because someone fell ill etc.

Driver shortage problem is pretty much across Europe, with poorer countries and cities being somewhat, but not crushingly worse off. I sort-of doubt that there is some low-hanging fruit waiting to be picked. This is a highly diverse market, with thousands of public and private sphere organizations competing for workforce across the entire EU, and having quite a lot of latitude to provide better conditions. Still, the average age of an extant bus driver is slowly creeping into the late 50s and early 60s. The disinterest of the younger generation in a driving career is palpable.

If true, I'd much rather buy an M4 and use Asashi linux (once it supports the M4) than Oryon, but I enjoy low level coding.
Being NEON-only doesn't really bring anything new or interesting to the table from that perspective.
More like: Companies who decided to build their buisness on open source offerings are having trouble monetizing.

I find this irony extremely pleasing. Those who discarded GPL freedoms in the name of corporate adoption, are now complaining that companies are using their software and not giving back anything.

I would love to say "well you had it coming", but honestly I just think this article is a PR move for such open source organizations to attract money, a cry for funding. I'm sure they'll be fine (at least the critical ones)
Thanks for trying. With the prompt I provided chatgpt was able to play and understand the win condition. However the moves were stupid.

If I changed the prompt and removed the word win, it did not understand the win conditions as well.

It is marvelous that a statistical word guessing model can get so far though :).
I think you are starting to talk past through me.

Nothing of what you mention is my point, my point applies to living close to cities.

I'm not saying that everyone should stop using cars, I'm saying that people living close to cities should have the means to not depend on personal ownership of cars.

I use cars, like I mention: I get the odd cab here and there when getting to some place will be inconvenient by public transport due to schedule. The same applies when I got to the closest airport which is 50km away, if I need to be there for a very early flight I will get a taxi. I rent cars when needed (like transporting moving boxes between houses, or purchasing some big piece of furniture).

What I'm advocating for is to not depend on oneself owning a car just for the sake of the odd times where one can't use public transport. I spent much less money by hailing taxis when needed compared to if I had owned a car in the past 10 years.

> Having cars might means no benefit to you, but have a price for the society, yourself included, because well, we already see in various fields we are good at making small things at scale, like clusters, but any big project have not so nice outcome, so being able to live and flourish at small scale on scale it's a very important thing in a changing world. Not anything can be done so far like that, sure, but many things can be done.

Yeah, of course, it doesn't mean that people in cities should depend on a car just to gain economies of scale on producing cars, I'm not saying cars shouldn't exist, I think you missed that point...
I think we as a mankind went through some collective mental trauma re dealing with covid pandemics, and our subconsiousness ain't best equipped to deal with it. Just like with other trauma it blurred it into into some hazy dreamy distant maybe-land.

Fascinating to see it happening in real time and be part of it.
Wouter is great, I recommend.
I didn’t read this as “10% will become 100B businesses”,

I read this as “10% are hot”—probably the author meant “like a team out of OAI” but maybe they meant “like recent rounds of OAI have been”.

In any case this post read as sophisticated, reasonable, and helpful, to me.

I loved planetariums as a kid but I wonder now if they still have much of a point with space simulators on computers and especially with VR space simulators.

I'm far more WOW!ed with a good VR sim. In fact just hovering over the earth at the start of Google Earth VR is way more impressive than the many times I've been to a planetarium and I've been many times over many decades and many continents. And, it will only get better as the resolution and fov continue to improve
Those numbers are hilarious. I can see an associate getting that many decks a week, then culling them down to 1 to 3 for the next guy up the chain. But there will be 3 to 12 associates.

Then the number of deals is also hilarious. These people don't have unlimited money, even in the good old days, you'd be lucky to be doing a deal a week out of the pool the associates approved.

So basically there are a hundred times as many decks as what the OP thinks there are for each deal. And the successful ones aren't open AI, the majority of the time a successful exit is getting sold for $10m to the incumbents in the field.
Hunting and solving bugs is good but there's a better alternative: having pipelines that run performance regression tests before commits are merged in master branch.
Interesting, do you have any links to share, it seems like direct-propane synthesis (3-carbon chain) is less likely than methane. Is it some kind of sweet spot, or does direct butane work too?

Something like direct butanol synthesis and fuel cells would be the ultimate I think, a liquid fuel that could be burned as jet fuel as well as in a fuel cell.

> If the parcel is lightweight, it does not rain or snow, and those who get parcels are not too much because shops have a bit of room for parcels but not too much. Now imaging getting a washing machine or a fridge with this system. This system is a workaround working enough today since on-line retail is popular but not the most common solution to buy anything. In a not so far future though it will be common to buy foods, ANYTHING via web so, this system will not work anymore. Of course stores will probably disappear so there might be room for something else but anything get more and more complex, and still there is no viable solution for the green new deal.

I get parcels all the time during rain and snow, I live in Scandinavia, rain and snow is a constant thing for 8 months of the year, that is totally doable.

How often do you think people are buying washing machines? Big items are delivered to home, no questions, but those are scheduled deliveries because no post worker is going to be dropping off your washing machine to the mailbox of the building.

This system works, it's been working fine, I've bought a fridge and a stove and just scheduled a delivery where I waited at home and got my item, for the 99,9% of the other parcels I get them delivered to a packet station. The network of packet stations ensures there's enough room to deliver to the region, if needed they expand the network with more packet stations...

I wonder if using an ORM wouldn't actually be better than writing queries.
This reminds me of movies shot in early times of the internet. We were warned that information on the internet could be inaccurate or falsified.

We found solutions to minimize wrong information for example we built and maintain Wikipedia.

LLMs will also come to a point where we can work with them comfortably. Maybe we will ask a council of various LLMs before taking an answer for granted, just like we would surf a couple of websites.
Why is the DOJ involved in blockchain disputes? ETH is imaginary, if they want to pretend it's actual property that can be stolen, they need to start following a lot of laws related to banking and financials that no one involved with blockchains wants to follow. At best this is some sort of cybercrime of the unauthorized access sort and even that is dubious.
I heard from Reid Hoffman himself that he approached 99 VCs before he got funded.

He had two meetings in one day. The first he was asked whether it’s B2B or B2C. He said B2C and was told they only fund B2B. Then next one he said B2B but they said they only fund B2C.

Meanwhile, some startups are funded by VCs piling on, and then go bankrupt quickly.

When interest rates are lower, money is easier to come by so terms are usually more favorable to founders.
You can't compare VC behaviour when interest rates are low to when they're high, because when they're low they're handing out money to anyone with a pulse, and when they're high they're checking if pitches say March instead of May.
No, neither Deno nor Bun does any type-checking. They both just convert the code to JS.

To do type-checking you need to run TSC.
Mistakes don't threaten them that much. When Equifax (admittedly not a bank) can make massive negligent fuckups and still be a going concern there isn't much heat there. Most fuckups a bank make can be unwound.

Stitch lazily compiles each wasm function to a form of threaded code in which each instruction has multiple variants, depending on where it loads its operands from.

Each operand is either stored on the stack (s), a virtual register (r), or as an immediate value (i). The add instruction, for instance, has an add_ss variant, an add_rs, and an add_ri variant, among others.

Most instructions store their result in a register, so that subsequent instructions operating on the result can avoid a stack load.

i32/i64/f32/f64.const instructions are completely elided: instead of storing constant values on the stack, they are stored as an immediate operand for the next instruction (this is one area where stitch differs from wasm3, which preloads all constants for a function on the stack every time the function is called)

I hope that clarifies things :-)
I disagree. AI in 1960s relied on expert systems where each fact and rule was handcoded by humans. As far as I know LLMs learn on their own on vast bodies of text. There is some level of supervision, but it is bot 1960s AI. That is the reason we get hallucinations as well.

Expert systems are more accurate as they rely on first order logic.
> For most junior folks I meet, I recommend starting their career at a big company rather than a startup.

Yes, absolutely this. I'm surprised to see recommendations to do a startup as a first job. That's not a good idea.

A new grad who has never worked anywhere might know how to code quite well academically but they have zero exposure to how to build a commercial product. Semester-long projects at school can't teach that. That's how you end up with codebases without source control, no code reviews, no architecture, tons of security problems and so on.

Go work a few stints at large respected companies (in whatever field you are in). Absorb everything you can about how and why they do things. Understand the processes and why they exist. There's a reason for everything.

Then go do startups. You'll know how mature products are engineered, and you'll understand which parts of the processes make sense for a startup (not much, but you'll know) and you'll know how and when to slowly start introducing more maturity as the startup grows.

By now in my career I've worked at every size company, from 100K+ people multinationals to 3 person startups and just about every size and maturity point in between. I would never hire a zero-experience person to a tiny startup, that makes no sense. It would be bad for them and bad for the startup.

The promised Utopia which for one reason or another will never come to be. This world where monopolies are not a thing anymore and all that’s there is pure clean competition is, just a dream.
Also, evolutionary pressure tends to make viruses less deadly. Variants that don't kill or incapacitate the host can spread faster, since the carriers are up and moving around. They'll inoculate the population against more deadly variants in the process. The longer a virus hangs around, the more variants there will be--with the more lethal ones tending to fade away, and the less lethal ones spreading far and wide.

Ask HN: Survey for Product people and Founders on data tooling
Hey HN community!

First time posting here – so hi everyone! Hope you're all well.

We're Strike, a small team of passionate product builders working on a new tool to make data analysis easier and more insightful for product builders. We believe that data tooling should be as quick to identify opportunities as 0->1 products are built.

We’ve put together a short survey to gather feedback from product people and founders like you. Your responses will help us gain a clearer picture of the problems you encounter and ensure we're addressing the right issues from the start.

If you could spare a few minutes to fill it out, we’d be incredibly grateful. Its currently 17 questions and should only take a few minutes (only 3 are open questions). Your insights will directly influence how we approach solving these challenges.

Thanks a ton for your help!

The is all "investing theater", in which stuff other than the business and product is what the VC uses to make a decision.
If customers get all the way to the payment page and abandon the purchase, that can have several causes:

- Your site doesn't offer enough or the right payment options. For example, PayPal and direct bank debit along with credit cards.

- Your site doesn't show the full price and/or all of the conditions until customers get to the payment page. Shipping charges, for example, can turn someone off completing the purchase. People abandon hotel reservations at the last page when they see all of the fees and taxes, for example. Be sure you show all of the costs and any important conditions (returns/cancel policies, shipping charges, taxes).

- Many people don't like to use their card or bank account for a recurring subscription. Do you allow paying for a year at a time? Do you take Apple Pay and/or Google Pay, which make canceling subscriptions easy?

- Business/corporate buyers may not have a company credit card. B2B products generally need payment options other than credit cards.

- Customers outside the USA may not have a credit card, or may not feel comfortable using it online without the consumer fraud protections American card users enjoy.

If your customers put things in their cart (whatever that looks like on your site) and then don't get to the payment page, that's called an abandoned cart. Some sites have very high abandoned cart rates, others complete a large percentage of sales. I can't tell for sure if you see customers abandoning before getting to the payment page or at the payment page.

Take a careful look at the checkout process, eliminate friction, make sure the site clearly explains everything, and ask your customers why they choose not to complete the sale if you can find some way to do that in your payment flow.
It's unfortunate that org-mode is not more wide-spread (linked to Emacs). Org-mode covers this and a million other use-cases.
Don't get me wrong though, this looks really good. So, congrats to OP :)
