Disruption can come from any direction. I don’t think Spin launch has better than 5% odds of success, but it could drastically undercut SpaceX in terms of $/kg to orbit and there’s a few others willing to face SpaceX head on. Or China, US military, etc may decide to heavily subsidize a competitor for strategic reasons outside of economics.

Starlink is becoming a core component of their business model which presents its own issues. The service is attractive today, but cellular or wired connections have inherent advantages in most situations and could seriously eat into their customer base fairly quickly. T-Mobile/Verizon/etc 5G wireless home internet for example is generally a better choice for most people.

Which isn’t to say SpaceX is in any kind of imminent danger, rather the company has significant long term risks.
There's entire TV channels dedicated to indoctrinating their viewers into a continuous mood of fear and anxiety, probably because it's easier to advertise to people in a febrile state.
Learning how to deal with anxiety in limited doses is an important part of childhood too.

> If anything this gives kids more freedom

I hope you're not too optimistic there. If it lets kids roam around outside more, than the upsides massively outweigh the downsides. But that's a very big "if".
I follow a few environmental researchers, climate scientists, and several large mining companies relevant to my role. I find Linkedin to be a pretty good way to get information I wouldn't otherwise seek out that is relevant to my industry niche. The trash inspirational stuff is rare for me and it is easy to bypass. I use scrolling and liking stuff to train the algorithm to keep giving me industry news.
You can do similar things with an iPhone or iPad. Turn off all kinds of stuff entirely, require a request (comes through in the parent’s phone) to override. No Web browsing without asking? Done. No installing apps without asking? Done. Web browsing allowed, but allow-list only? Done. Allow some app, but max one hour per day? Done. Lots of stuff.

>The importance of public critique & awareness of OpenAI's leadership should go beyond the interests of YC.

"Should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting; YC is ultimately about getting rich, and unfortunately there are a lot of pro-Altman types 'round these parts who share that "wealth at all costs" mentality.

I'll take my downvotes.
I don't either, but that won't stop them from calling the cops.

It seems like kids have to be at least teenagers these days for people to assume they're OK to be out by themselves, and even then, some people are apparently wary before the kids are old enough to drive.
I think we all learned the value of some personal space during COVID-19. I'd really like the right to ask people to stop approaching you be extended to all people, not just police.
I tried using (paid) LinkedIn to find candidates once. It was not very helpful. Other than that I've never looked at anyone's LinkedIn profile when hiring/interviewing. Nor have I ever applied for a job using LinkedIn.

Some people swear by it, but they mostly seem like MBA types that post the annoying content mentioned in other threads.
Ask HN: ChatGPT Making Browser Unresponsive
Chat GPT is causing my Firefox and Chrome browsers to become unresponsive. It's so bad that I have to force close the browsers and reopen them.

System has plenty of memory/cpu available.

Any idea how to debug/fix this?
People do still use indexes and the basic FK/UQ constraints because they're add value even when using ORM mappers,etc. I don't think that the ideas of changing databases are that prevalent any more (apart from perhaps unit-testing but since db's can often be dockerized that's also solved now).

People don't hate stored-procedures (or other custom SQL constraints/triggers) per-se, but more the amount of headache they bring when it comes to debugging and keeping in sync with version control.
Huge kudos to Michael on bringing us through his journey, including the selling. I remember starting reading his blog during the pandemic, the expensive website upgrade that got him lower sales is something I think about every once in a while. Huge congrats on the exit!
No it isn't. Starlink was funded completely with private funding until well into its operation when it started getting a few small government contracts.

I've very recently seen numerous posts starting to show up on both reddit and various websites as well as anonymous wikipedia editors pushing this conspiracy theory. They all repeat the same thing. They'll claim Griffin as basically a founder of SpaceX (who in reality had almost no involvement with starting SpaceX) and they'll claim Griffin basically "gave" SpaceX its first government contracts even though NASA administrators have almost no sway over where contracts go (that'd be illegal). They'll also claim other things like that Starlink is somehow developing weapons to be put in orbit to reproduce SDI.
Been following your story from the beginning Michael, as around the time your tinypilot/KVM came out, I was having the same issues but never occurred to me or had the energy to tackle it. So glad you did and gave an insight to your journey, truly shows the amount of grit it requires to run a business and happy that you finally were able to close.

Here we go with more helicopter parenting devices.

Please parents...look up the studies on how detrimental it is to hover over every aspect of your child's life. It's not good.

I raised five kids to adulthood with the last one finishing his freshman year of college this year.

None of them had devices until middle school and even then, it was restricted. We made our kids roam around like feral coyotes.

They are absolutely better for it.

> Medical devices and aircraft should NEVER be the exemptions.

> "if a third party manufacturer is selling an FDA approved replacement battery for an older hearing aid,"

The FDA and FAA are massive bureaucracies that are not going to get into the business of regulating electronics. Practically, medical devices and aircraft should be exempt, as things are today. Suggesting legislation should be written otherwise, is negligent at best and malicious at worst.
This logic moves right into victim blaming territory real quick though. "Have you taught your child what to do if they get lost?" doesn't fix the fact that you don't know what they'll do till it happens, and then it might be too late.

I'd much rather have a backup system in case they don't do the right thing in case they panic.

I'll also point out that your advice here is statistically unsound: there's the baked in "stranger danger" element - "approach a police officer/approach someone who works at the store". See, no one wants to say "approach literally the first adult you see" because "stranger danger"...but statistically, there aren't a lot of predators around. The longer a child is unattended with no one helping them, the more time an active predator has to spot and isolate them.

But no one can put that extremely small risk that literally the first random adult in a major shopping center is actually going to be one, so we always qualify the advice with "find an authority figure preferentially" (increasing the time they're alone and obviously unattended).

> I do fairly well

That's an interesting statement. I don't use LinkedIn at all any more (deleted my account when MS bought it), so I'm wondering what "do fairly well" means?

Is it a measurement of attention or something?
Only if you want to confuse and mislead everyone.
OK, so I'm neither a developer nor a content creator, and I can't think of anything useful a LLM could do for me. I tried a bit of chat and it was mildly amusing, but not for long. I certainly don't want one of them running my digital life for me. Isn't this just the zombie reincarnation of Clippy?

LinkedIn seems great for people who have had a relatively straightforward career path, or where they know they want their next job to be in a specific direction.

Maybe that's most of humanity and I'm not their target market and that's fine. I just find it an absolute pain because there's no one way to summarize what I did in past roles that is universally clear to all the roles I might be considering that I have the requisite skillset.
If you can modify the California constitution by a simple ballot initiative, anything is possible within the bounds of Federal law and the US Constitution. AB5 was a bad law, but the solution was only a half-step to reversing it and yeah, the super majority requirement is essentially a bad solution to a legislature that would have had no qualms overturning a majority vote and talking a good game about how they’re right and voters are wrong.

If our political environment didn’t feature short legislative term limits and ballot initiatives to begin with and was properly representative, it’s unlikely someone like the bill’s sponsor would have either been voted in in the first place or received enough support within the legislature to get AB5 passed. She also left the legislature and found herself a nice career working for the very interest groups that wanted to see AB5 passed in the first place.
Personally more than anything I just find it funny people try to do real marketing on linkedin. I also think it's funny people post stuff that should be on facebook on linkedin. Thankfully I don't have many of them, I still keep connected with those people because: I genuinely find it amusing.

What I like and see less and less of: I have this one open position I really super need filled, if you know anyone who has done this <insert very specific mission> plz connect me. - That I can actually do something with vs I'm hiring for <insert every open role that could ever exist in a company>

I'm looking to join <insert very specific thing> because I care about this <very specific thing> and I'm willing to beg borrow and steal because <insert very good reason>

So yeah, I think linkedin is fine, and I keep my network super tight, I'm pretty sure I've met everyone I'm connected with IRL or know someone IRL who knows that person very well.
Voting for new legislators, personally. I wish they'd do something about PG&E or housing instead of criminalizing software development of chatbots. Truly useless, and I wish we had more choice of non-insane candidates.
The general concept has a real world use, but this specific implementation probably doesn't perform as well as most of the already available ones on more powerful hardware.

Maybe it could have an IRL use for efficient wake word spotting or the like though.

What's the harm with knowing where your minor kids or opted in spouse are?

Honest question.
It’s a lot easier to get busybodies to leave you alone if you can call your mom on your watch. My kid also wanted to roam free at age 7, and he got the cops called on him. He’s in middle school now and still salty about it. If I could have gotten him a reasonably-priced phone in watch format, I’d have done it.
My ex girlfriend's family used to have their cat litters right next to the kitchen table. Any bad behavior or decisions I've made since then I'm going to blame on her and my "taxoplasmosis".
> We invented padded rooms

Precisely.

> Guns are one of the most dangerous things a person can own

Actually it's an extension ladder.

> any other weapon is a lot easier to stop and a lot harder to kill with.

Where's your can do spirit now? We literally invented metal detectors and have dogs that can smell guns and explosives because sometimes mentally unwell people have weapons.

> That’s why other places don’t have the same death rates as America.

That's one possible explanation. It's very thin and there's much contrary evidence. You'd have to make a stronger case.
Exactly,I feel that some parents will be judged by their peers if they are not keeping a short leash on their children.

And because people are encouraged to look at any sign of child neglect (for some reason), dirty clothes or bruise that could be acquired during play, could be easily misconstrued as child abuse.
Which is arguably more important. Amazon knows what sells and who is selling it. It can surgically strike and offer products it knows will sell well.
Assuming the analysis and logic behind the initial decision were valid, what has changed in Russia where they wouldn’t escalate over this? Or has something changed in Ukraine that makes the risk worth it?
If it weren’t her, it’d be another one. There are whole swaths of the populace convinced any child out alone is in mortal danger. They’ll post to the neighborhood Facebook group in panic if they see a child walking to the convenience store unattended.

I've noticed Mike Griffin's goals have been pretty consistent since he led the SDI (and conceived COTS). Follow the man's actions not what's written on the tin. SpaceX's development has wed closely to the SDI requirements. Even Starship seems optimized for mass to LEO rather than Mars.
It’s possible, but the whole reason Starlink has a userbase is because there’s large areas where traditional telecom companies either never had enough interest to set up infrastructure or let what had already been set up rot. If that were to change meaningfully it’d require a significant shift in strategy from Verizon, AT&T, etc.

It worked like this: rsync2ipfs-cluster fetched the packages from a rsync mirror into an IPFS-MFS-Folder updated the link in IPNS and then added this folder to a running IPFS instance/cluster.

All of those packages are then available for pacman under the (unchanging) IPNS name and the packages themselves are stored in IPFS as usual files.
All you had to was add `http://x86-64.archlinux.pkg.pacman.store.ipns.localhost:8080...` to your mirror list after running your ipfs node (or use a public ipfs gateway).

The website sadly is down now. It had a nicer explanation. None of this still works now however.

EDIT: the folder/list of files was managed by the user hosting the project. The files/packages themselves were distributed. That's just how IPFS/IPNS works. Somebody has to put them into IPFS.

EDIT2: technically the example I posted is a DNSLink which points to a (now gone) TXT record which points to an IPNS name (which is a mutable pointer) that contained the directory of all current archlinux packages.

I hope that was comprehensible.
Some recruiters exclusively use LinkedIn as a source. You will be overlooked by them. It's difficult to demonstrate this matters, but I suspect it does.

I wouldn't bother with any of the social networking aspects of LinkedIn. Turn off every notification you possibly can.

I've gotten instructions accidentally mailed to me by recruiters indicating to only accept candidates with a profile photo. I've yet to decide if this means I should have one or not.
I really appreciate how the change log is structured as “$category: $short-desc”.

It takes a lot of discipline to have all tickets & commits titled this way. But it makes reading a change log so much easier to parse as a human.

> I think the reason is questionable value.

It's my hope, having casually followed the development of the three.js shader nodes and now TSL, that they will end up getting wrapped up into a visual node editor of high quality. As far a I'm aware, they have made some attempt at following the MaterialX spec which should help here.

So even if writing code in TSL has limited utility over pure shader code (I don't have an opinion here but I've seen it brought up a few times), it should make writing a three.js visual node editor much simpler.
I mostly write with fountain pens, primarily pre-1980s, but find myself rather confused by much of this article. Presumably there are terminology differences involved, but I have no idea what he is referring to by 'socket', why it needs to be washed weekly, or why he would add one to a pen. I can't find anything online, and the various uses of the word in the article don't really fit any part of a fountain pen that I do know about. I don't understand how a nib would be curved to fit a smaller hand: the 1930s Waterman reference he makes might be a reference to the Lady Patricia, but that's a smaller-bodied version of the at-the-time quite large Patrician; I don't think the nib, or even the size, is particularly different than Watermans before it. I'm also not sure I'd agree about modern pen mechanisms being more complex: while the article is inconsistent about when the shop was opened (77 years ago, but also late 1950s), that would have put the shop during his grandfather's time right around an era of pens like the Sheaffer Snorkel (filled through an extending snorkel by a pneumatic mechanism to avoid the nib, itself with an unusual cylindrical design, needing to be immersed in ink) that are particularly complex compared to modern fountain pens, which mostly seem to use typical, stiff nib and feed designs, and cartridges or converters rather than elaborate filling mechanisms.

I certainly don't 'wash off' a pen with water once a week when I'm using it, and I'm not even sure what that would mean. Unless there's a problem with ink flow, there should not be 'excess ink'. Is he saying the pen should be flushed once a week? That seems quite excessive. It's just very odd that he seems quite insistent about the necessity of something that I've never heard of.
That seems like a hard problem for a phone that won't boot. You'd only be able to verify the device's serial from the labels. To validate each component you'd have to take the device apart.

Sofas don't need constant bug fixes; they don't inexplicably stop working when someone upgrades their apartment with a new TV. Also, the up-front cost of a piece of furniture is a couple of orders magnitude higher than most apps, which help keeps the retailer in the black until it's time for the customer to buy another, similarly high priced item.
I don't think blizzards, hail, torrential rain, and dense fog will be particularly challenging for waymos, at least not keeping the card driving in a controlled a predictable state.

The hard thing is that every other human car acts randomly because they don't say, have winter tires, and unlike waymo, don't have the very quick control loop.

Every government on earth wants this, and they'll have it. The backdoors may not occur today, nor tomorrow. They may take another couple of years to implement, but they'll be there. The data-collective desires it. The backdoors are too useful to deny.

It's not doom-and-gloom to state this certainty. It's merely a logical progression from yesterday and today.

Make your peace with it. Much like ledgerized ecurrencies backdoors and surveillance isn't decreasing, it's taking over.
