I'm pretty Libertarian myself... the issue, to me, comes from treating companies/corporations as "people" in terms of political speech, etc. I don't think collective groups should be able to donate to political campaigns or non-profits unless they have open books and only take contributions from individuals or orgs that likewise have open books.

I also think that politicians should have to pre-declare by a day or more any financial trades.

Corporations are allowed to exist in a state beyond what an individual can, and as a balance should be very limited in execution and through the past century in particular are anything but. Their power is a grant of govt, and should also be limited. In the end, that's where I stand on it. I'm all for maximizing personal liberty, and even small business allowances. Major companies should be focused on stability with growth or divestment. Foreign owned companies should be more limited even. That just isn't the case today, and it's a shame.

I like restful API’s the most. Graphql is cool if you need data combined that is not nicely available in the restful endpoints. But I think that could mostly be solved with good endpoints that help with the actual use cases. When restful endpoints are hard to use, in a lot of cases it is because they are to much focused on how it is easy to write server side, then it is to consume them.
Not necessarily. Tools like Hasura, PostGraphile, and Prisma let you skip out without even having to pay with implementation complexity.

Call paginated APIs directly from the browser and export the data in JSON
I recently built Paginated APIs Online, a powerful tool that simplifies retrieving data from paginated APIs. It's free to try if you stay below 10 pages at the time, otherwise, it has a small one-time payment to unlock the unlimited version lifetime.

It allows users to make thousands of API calls in seconds and export the data in JSON format. The platform offers detailed control over API settings. Built with Next.js and Vercel, it provides a modern, user-friendly interface perfect for developers looking to streamline their workflow.

Boson sampling _works_. It's now on the error-correction skeptics to provide a framework where that remains true, but stops being true when a particular combination of gates is applied, because the “naive” math says it should work fine. It would require a new fundamental physical principle to be true, for a quantum system to be sensitive to the nature of the computation involved in generating the distribution being sampled from.

Only because they were compiled against cpython and not pypy right? If pypy had taken off/over, wouldn't it have been the other way around, where you need to do a special compile any time you want to use a C project with cpython rather than using the prebuilt pypy-compatible version?

Edit: things seem to have changed since I last looked into compiling a dependency for pypy. https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/faq.html#do-c-extension-modul... now says they support c-extension modules without modifications

The package you mentioned, some postgres thing apparently, mentions they support pypy 3.9 and 3.10: https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/basic/install.html

I'm struggling to see how this works well for a family. You're basically uninsured. If you have sudden large expenses, like very expensive medication, it's not clear how you can make that work without hemorrhaging money. The high deductible isn't going to help you if it doesn't cover prescriptions.

The shortage of PCPs is a money problem, not a symptom of a broken model.

People smart enough to go to med school are (generally) also smart enough to do an ROI analysis. If I can make $500k/yr as an oncologist and pay off my student loans in 10 years vs. getting paid $150k/yr as a PCP and pay off my student loans in 30 years, which route am I going to choose? People that want to be PCPs are making the choice to go into higher-paying specialties just because it is expensive to become a doctor in the first place.

Obviously it is possible to change the economic incentives to increase the supply of PCPs. One simple way would be to just create full-ride scholarships for those that want to be PCPs to dramatically increase the ROI for being a PCP.

I suspect this is a fundamental mindset issue between thinking as a lawyer/law maker vs. thinking as a programmer.

https://benwheatley.github.io/blog/2024/05/25-12.04.31.html

We can see how machines fail, and make the mistake of applying those standards to laws and money and so on, where they don't fit; law makers expect humans to be the ones actioning any given requirement, and cannot understand why it's so hard to only encrypt good content from good people and not bad content from bad people.
When the client’s data requirements change, isn’t there always a risk that the data loading performance profile will change?

Surely that is always the case, if the client is composing multiple REST requests, or if there’s one RPC method per client page, or with any other conceivable data loading scheme.
I do not share that author's belief about application code.
PG Chat Participant: GitHub Copilot Extension for PostgreSQL
I mean sure... if you redefine Sam as not an employee then you can definitely argue he wasn't fired. Also, you seem to imply that OpenAI decided to start a non-from profit but.. isn't that just... Sam? Like Sam was running the non-for-profit, Sam decided to start a for-profit part of it -and from what we know of what went on at OpenAI it seems like Sam was the one driving that. So you're presenting this as if this was thrust upon Sam, but so far all we've seen seems to indicate the exact opposite, that all the way along Sam has been the one driving this.

To be clear, I'm not saying he was fired. I'm saying he acted unethically, pushed PG to the point where he gave an ultimatum and then quit, but PG is smart enough not to burn bridges.

Thanks for explaining a bit how things work in the EU. Pretty interesting, and not something I would have thought or cared to look up.

In this light it feels a bit like some of the grandstanding bills US politicians write or even pass in the House, knowing they haven’t a chance in the Senate, or whatever. And perhaps the audience is folks in the home country or even other politicians in the home country?
> When my brain goes to a synonym it tells me that I understand the scene, but not the character.

That of course assumes that the script writer is infallible. Maybe you do understand the scene and the character deeply, and the writer screwed up by choosing the wrong synonym.
The grid needs several nines of reliability even on that cold night, and more nines are needed in places where extreme cold weather happens and people use electric heat. To achieve any reliability at all, there needs to be enough capacity for these extreme temperature events.

With heat pumps, on a cold night, 3-4x normal usage from all the heat pumps is possible, even likely. Maybe worse in places that get really cold and push the limits of the heat pumps (where COP can get quite close to 1).

So the grid needs overprovisioned capacity. One could hook up a lot of renewables, a lot of storage and a lot of inverter capacity to that storage, which is expensive. But this is expensive: batteries are approaching reasonable prices if the get used heavily, but there aren’t extra-cheap batteries for systems that only get used on rare occasions. But there are extra cheap power plants that make economic sense even if rarely used: these are peaker plants.

Yes, it would be nice to have a non-emitting peaker plant, and someone will surely figure this out eventually. But it wouldn’t be shocking if the eventual solution is an ordinary methane-fired plant (or maybe methanol?) where the fuel is synthetic. After all, even with renewable sources, if you actually want to store a whole lot of energy, chemical storage is pretty effective.

That’s what I came to ask. Why is it a picture at all? A screen shot of text rather than the actual text? If it’s posted from his own account why post a screen shot of something he wrote? That frankly makes it less authentic and more weird.

The font itself is weird. It’s not a programming monospaced font it’s a typewriter font which has weird kerning and other aspects that make it both noticeable and less useful than a console font.

What an end to end bizarre post.
Sort of, anarchy does not mean individualism. It absolutely can be built around syndicalism and federation. If a group of people says, "we believe it's best to take turns doing this labor" then they can do that.

Typically there's a cultural expectation of "wellbeing for all", which becomes a significant social expectation. If it's the cultural standard, it changes the relationship to chores significantly - I can contribute to them knowing that the general person out there is also doing chores with my wellbeing in mind.
What happened to him?
I did all the hard, crappy jobs through late teens and early 20s (demolition, roofing, house painting, pottery production, fast food, factory, grocery distribution warehouse). There is so little respect shown for workers in any of these that I imagine a lot of "cleaning" people work pretty hard. If you are self-employed in the profession it's probably a lot easier, but if you are being exploited, you're probably working pretty hard.

Show HN: Open Source AI Stock Analysis Platform
Hey guys,

Over the past year I've been working on my pet-project stocknear to help small investors to beat the hedgies with high-quality data + machine learning algorithm that mostly are based on certain papers to predict trends, price movement, sentiment analysis etc.

From today onwards the project is 100% Open-Source = Frontend+Backend.

The frontend is based on Sveltekit and Tailwindcss. The backend is a combination of FastAPI, Fastify and Pocketbase.

The reason why I wanted to open-source the project is to fight enshitification and also this field is filled with scammers and get-rich schemes. I wanted to become one of the few people who actually help users in the stock market without ads, tracking each movement or anything shady. An AI Stock Analysis Platform by the users, for the users.

Ask HN: How do services like make.com, pipedream,zapier integrations work?
I'm wondering how these services build so many integrations so quickly?
I'm trying to build some integrations myself and we need multiple integrations. I'm finding it very tedious.
How do they no what can connect with what?
When customer data changes how does it know it can still connect with another integration?

Anyone have some detailed insight on how they were all built so quickly?
I am in my mid 30s now and unfortunately due to genetics on my mother's side (diabetes and high blood pressure) and with tartar/plaque buildup accelerated the process and now I have periodontitis where the bone the teeth is lost (the left upper side from the 3rd molar to the 2nd bicuspid).

I still have my teeth, but not for long (probably not to even my 40s). While teeth cleaning and tartar removal every few weeks helps slowing this process, its not going to stop it.

I pray that this breakthrough happens (even though it will probably take 5 to 10 years until we have something viable that we can pay for).

Now, if only apple shipped a keyboard that wasn’t missing buttons, and had a haptic trackpad…).

There’s a lot to say about the structure of health care, but the classic “Now” lecture isn’t it. Most people make key decisions about provisioning and paying for their health insurance months before they actually need it, and likewise establish relationships with a primary care physician or dentist at a quite ordinary level of urgency.

The vaccines are also a particular bad example. (The typical Now-lecture example is of emergency room care).
I think the terms they came to were pretty generous to the buyer. Michael brings a lot of value to the deal as a seller, there isn't going to be a hidden gotcha, more likely hidden benefits of forward thinking you'd uncover over time.

Lock-in or additional hours from Michael wouldn't be needed, the product isn't awfully complex, and I'm sure everything is more documented than you would expect.

What I would have liked to do would be to use the company as a scaffold to develop a larger mid-market offering. I don't like mid-market that much, but they are much more willing to cobble together a better, cheaper solution, rather than just buy whatever package that HP or Dell is offering.

I would also try to sign up and train some government focused resellers to see if we can make progress in that segment. USG is very favorable to small businesses. Control over the supply chain would be a selling point to USG as well.

I would also try to partner with someone like System76 or a similar US manufacturer to make the existing TinyPilot product be a recommended KVM component for their server and small compute offerings.

I've been sticking to a PPO insurance for similar reasons. First, it's the only way to handle some of my medical needs. Second, it seems to be the only way to get decent care overall. I've thought about adding the same type of general care doctor back into the mix, as I don't like the current setup.

I have to see my regular doctor and 3 different specialists every quarter year... so, my needs go beyond what out of pocket is reasonable, given insurance negotiated rates. That said, the whole system is a bit of a mess, and insurance and pharma are large parts of the problem to begin with.

I don't want socialized medicine, but wouldn't mind replacing medicare/aid, govt employee and veteran coverage with a non-profit govt backed insurance corporation that allows anyone to buy into that coverage as an option. At least something resembling a baseline to compete with.
Oh that strawberry cake
Oh that strawberry cake
Out in California them berries were grown
And into this city them berries were flown
For making that strawberry cake*

Then I thought of Oxnard, just north of LA
Where I picked strawberries for many a day
Hard work with no future for the harvest was done
And I headed eastward a-travelin’ by thumb
And nobody wanted me here in this town
I felt like a stray dog they all kick around
Them berries reminded me of my bad breaks
I’m hungry and I want that strawberry cake*

We enjoy our strawberry cake, all the fresh and organic produce we eat, at an amazingly low price if we are honest, yet we don't fight for the well-being and rights of the people who work the fields, so-called illegal aliens, who are paid slave wages, who have no health care, whose citizenship status leaves them even more vulnerable to exploitation than others on the bottom of America's caste system.

I would buy this. Sell me one please.

There's a little history of trying to get a new coffee method named: Clover comes to mind, a vertical extraction, high pressure, fine-filter plunge method that's like a powered Aeropress. The founder made it to be a kind of new price point offering between drip and espresso drinks. Starbucks ultimately bought Clover, and seems mostly to have shut it down, which is too bad - it was a nice product for third wave coffee shops to offer, and it's only rolled out now at high end Starbucks.

It is worth the wait, although maybe not the cost - it seems to exist to sell $10 "Blue Mountain" coffee at Starbucks now.

Anyway, I would guess this would sell more as an enthusiast home product than something that can fit in to existing coffee shops; the Clover story I think is that something new can be appealing, but it's probably not worth the counter space at indies; unless it can replace the espresso machine completely, e.g. as a mode in your existing espresso machine, it's not going to go into what is usually very crowded production space.
