I don't see anyone catching up to SpaceX anytime soon. There are several possibilities on the horizon to catch up to Falcon 9, if Starship gets delayed for a number of years for example, but that seems unlikely. Competitors can continue to hang on via just the threat of SpaceX taking over the entire launch industry though but they'll basically stay minority players. That is until the cost advantages of SpaceX become too great and companies become large via using SpaceX to push their own business models.
The content is interesting. It’s not as negative, cynical and aggressive as on much of social media. But people have still ruined it because they push self-promotion and promotion of their companies way too hard.

Unless I am too picky, which may very well be the case, it feels to me like there simply is no way to have a healthy and large social network.

Germany showing its incredible infrastructure again then. But then giving the kids a cell phone really is a necessity huh. Can't even call parents at work if they're back from school or on break and something happens.
You don't need to be active. Just put your resume up there and update it once in a blue moon. Accept any random connection requests just to bump your connection count, and don't bother with anything else.

If you have a good resume you'll get a stream of recruiter messages. You can ignore them unless you're looking for a job in which case they are invaluable because they are a free ticket past the resume screening part of the application process.
Ah, true. I have seen their's. They seem more legit. The two I have been seeing are for medium sized companies and the listing are very generic. I think one might be legit since a recruiter on a different platform reached out for a specific role at that company. But the posting on here seems pretty generic. The other one has posted for months or even a year. It's also a generic one. Of course my area is a dead zone for jobs on here.
What are your thoughts on the artificial eye company that shut down, possibly leaving patients with non-working and non-repairable implants in their head [1]?

I am actually looking for such a solution. Would you care to share some of the players in this market?
this is awesome! i wish i had this before i knew aws well.

workers+r2 is the ideal stack for 80% of problems now.

to everyone complaining, just use workers+r2 directly. cheaper and more flexible.

this is excellent ux around the much smaller burden of learning workers+r2. bravo.

What I am saying that today with ChatGPT 4x, if it detects that its model doesn’t have the current information, it will search on the web and summarize the results from different websites.

One example I have was “what’s going on in Atlanta over the next two weeks”.

I had another example I just posted where I asked it “who are Amex’s and Chase’s current transfer partners and which ones do they have in common”.

It searched the web and summarized the information like you would expect.

I don't doubt your claim, but you didn't provide any examples or evidence. What positive effects did limiting device access from your kids have on them?
I consider LinkedIn to be a great case study in the value and perils of social networking. On one hand, maintaining a list of all the people I've worked with and their up-to-date CVs is incredibly valuable, and LinkedIn has enough network effects to make it irreplaceable.

On the other hand, despite the fact that Microsoft makes plenty of money from other business, and LinkedIn all of the above value would be effectively free to maintain and generate an immeasurable sum of relevance and good will, somehow it's still subject to the same Capitalist-American-tech cultural incentives to engage in a short-sighted McNamara fallacy to drive engagement. This means that the feed in LinkedIn is every bit as bad as any other social network as folks jockey for visibility and influence, but with the added wrinkle that peoples careers depend on this, and it's well understood in the corporate world that negativity is counter-productive to large group efforts, thus leading to an extremely saccharine and "toxic positivity" vibe that can come off extremely dystopic to independent thinkers.
I have been often judged harshly for not subscribing to parental paranoia and refusing to breach trust with constant surveillance. I stand by my choice: surveillance harms trust, children need space and safety is good enough. I'm way too old to be sensitive to the opinion of other parents !
In the US, the biggest danger to free-range kids is nosy neighbors, who are convinced kids out wandering alone are in danger of… something! Kidnapping? Sex trafficking? Darned if I know. But it’s a huge problem to those of us who want our kids to be free to walk to the corner store. My kid had a woman call the police on him at age 7, in a safe suburban neighborhood, when she wasn’t satisfied with his answers about why he was out alone. Having a phone would have helped: he could have called me right then. (As it is, he ran away before they got there, and I still chuckle wondering what the cops thought about the whole thing.)
Under the law, the rightful owner of stolen property can demand its return. If it's currently installed in your phone, that's your problem, even if you bought it "fair and square" - that just gives you a claim on the merchant who sold you stolen goods.

The exception to this is currency: if you're fairly paid with stolen money, you get to keep the money, regardless of whether the rightful owner is able to proof that it was originally theirs and stolen.
Other countries don’t have the bodycount of dead children like the USA. If anything it proves that less guns makes you safer.

It doesn't changed at all, at least where I saw it last year. Paw Patrol was (is?) still the rage.
PRC has several commercial reusables on the way and IIRC 3 seperate mega constellations planned for short/medium term. If there's sustained demand, there's no reason they can't do to space launch what they did to ship building. At 30-40 F9s, IMO people are conflating SpaceX's reusable "capability" lead for actual scale. If other sectors any indication, would not be out of question for PRC to economy of scale 100s of F9 tier launch vehicles and eclipse SpaceX in aggregate payload in a few years of buildup if there's business/strategic case for it.
I'm hoping to find a simple local http server that for development and basic local use cases. I have been using the http-server package from nodejs but I'd rather install a binary without dependencies.

I have been trying to use Caddy locally, haven't been successful with replacing http-server yet but it's a good start
I didn't read the whole thing, but the author briefly mentions VFIO which would have given him access to interrupts so it would have been possible (but for flat-out performance, polling is the only thing fast enough).

I wrote a small NVMe user-space driver using VFIO more than a decade ago this way. Coming from having virtualized ATAPI (SATA) and SCSI, NVMe was such a refreshingly excellent design.
Several things:

1 - Russia is tactically taking advantage of US caution. They amassed their forces on the border with Kharkiv in the wide open and used the head-start to launch an offensive there.

2 - At this point, the US has realized that Russia isn't going to come to their senses without a more decisive defeat. If anything, Russia is doubling down on their attack wish-list.

3 - Most importantly, Russia is launching espionage based attacks affecting Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

At this point, Russia has broken the red lines, and so NATO is opening theirs in a tit-for-tat fashion.
This is the kind of thing the three.js team spend a lot of time discussing and working towards (far too much time in my opinion, I'd much rather the effort was spent on improving the ecosystem, although thankfully the poimandres collective jumped into to fill the gap, for React at least) so I'd say it's reasonably likely.
Can anyone point me to models that look like they might actually be useful in moving towards AGI? I feel like I have a basic understanding of the transformer architecture, and multiplying X tokens in a sliding window across a set of static matrices to produce 1 new token does not look like a path to AGI.

Yes, the complex feature extraction is impressive. But are there any models that, I don't know, are more dynamic? Have a working memory? Have a less limited execution path?
In an unregulated market, the presence of non-repairable products means that repairable products can't achieve economies of as scale as easily.

This is a systematic effect, whose size must be quantified, so we can deploy appropriate regulation to counteract it.
I’d rather bet on BYD :)
> I remember many times as a kid having my parents call out on the PA system when I got lost in a department store.

How many times can you lose a child before it stops being accidental? It's a department store not Disney Land.
I'd hate those stools though. Great to have a non overwhelming auditory experience but if my back is killing me that's not much of an improvement.
One major reason for creating TSL is that it's no longer just about WebGL and GLSL. There's also WebGPU and WGSL which is very different to GLSL. The goal of TSL is to compile to both of those plus any future targets.
Vaguely reminds me of the Adapteva Epiphany RISC multi-processors from the old Parallella Kickstarter project, and presumably others, but that's the one I played with for a while.

I'm not sure how this project's interconnect differs, they do say theirs is revolutionary, maybe that's the difference.

The watch teaches the kids to reach out when they feel overwhelmed.
They are fully in control of their own destiny. They don't always end up where they planned they were going and that is perfectly ok for me because they can reach me if there is an issue.

Great chat!

Talking about 1D vs 2D data structures felt incomplete without some mention of 3D coding. The only examples I know of are from games - Minecraft's Redstone or the automation genre (Satisfactory, Foundry). I imagine there are neat tools in other domains like mechanical or computer engineering, for solving problems with physical, real world materials in 3D space.

The main challenge in the 3D games is lack of x-ray vision. The frustration of blindness encourages setting up cool POV catwalks to see into your layers, which is rewarding. I assume productivity tools (or a hypothetical 3d code editor) would bring these for free.

A cool place to experiment might be .vox, the voxel modeling format. MagicaVoxel is a pretty fun editor, and I've daydreamed about imbuing blocks with behavior ala Redstone.

I don't think it would be super productive, but it might be fun and satisfying.
So basically the people who care do nothing, and just let the people who don't care develop and control it all? Or do the people who care use violence or a threat of violence to prevent others from doing it?
I want to respond regarding the lingam statement

Like we can save data on a SD card, people tried to save positivity in a object, so that it can be shared with everyone, ling/lingam is made from a particular material and have a particular shape, the shape its just an oval, like a planets orbit around its star, even if you observe Buddhist stupa is bigger version of the same..

There are elaborate processes of how to install positivity in that, prana pratista or mantra pratista

I have no scientific data on how to save positivity in an object , As a Vipassana meditator I feel my meditation session is very smooth when sitting around few Linga

Ling in Sanskrit refers to a thing, like female and male are referred to as Stri-Ling (woman kind, not women phallus) and Purusha-Ling(man kind)...

So Shiv-Ling mean It is representation of Shiva or what ever
Firefox is better than Chrome [in the privacy aspect]... but still pretty terrible.

It sends a lot of "analytics" and "tracking" to some of Mozilla's servers, but if you inspect the requests, those servers are actually behind Google's CDN,and Google does the TLS termination.

So... Google has access too all the data that Mozilla sends when it phones home. Some of it even has a unique identifying id.

> T-Mobile 5G wireless home internet for example is generally a better choice for most people.

I was speaking with someone from US Cellular at a conference recently and they were saying their whole advantage over T-Mobile was spectrum in rural areas. Which explains why they were bought out by T-Mobile.

T-Mobile is also in the process of rolling out fiber home internet to compete with AT&T because 5G isn't that great.

T-Mobile's network might be good enough in suburban areas but it's lacking in rural areas. This is where Starlink is competitive, and also places like the middle of the ocean.
Ask HN: Feedback on Notifications API Docs
I've built an API that makes it easy to add notifications to any blockchain app. With the Nodefy API, you can listen for specific onchain activity and push notifications to email or custom webhooks.

I'd love to hear what you think and get some feedback on the docs.
For job searching, not being on it won't hurt you in any way, but you're missing out on potential upside in terms of recruiting. You can have a LinkedIn, use it only for job searching, and not read the bizarre cringe content.

If you find value in networking or keeping in touch with people, simply put it is the directory for many industries (including SV tech) and a good way to stay in contact, and I think that you are definitely missing out on the network value if you aren't on it. Like you called out, unlike email it does not require anything proactive and in my experience people are often excited to hear from you years later. I'm not here to tell you what to value though.
Yeah land based networking just makes less and less sense when you look at it from first principles, wireless is fast enough for most connections it has enough bandwidth if distributed and being in orbit makes widely distributed networks trivial compared to doing it on earth.

I dont know if it will be starlink but I do expect(hope) ground based telecom to go the way of floppy disks in the coming decades
By this logic we could call any API "fixed function" though.
Nobody “won” the charging standard war except for the consumer. Tesla had a great connector and a huge charging network, but it was closed and proprietary with a non-interoperable digital protocol. Government and the rest of the industry demanded an open standard with an interoperable digital protocol that allowed for payments. Tesla thus faced the choice of having everyone adopt the inferior (open) CCS connector, making their current cars basically obsolete; or else releasing their excellent physical connector and opening their chargers to the whole world and adopting the existing CCS digital protocol. They rationally chose the latter and all of North America moved onto it. This is certainly “winning” in the sense that Tesla chose the option that wasn’t a total disaster for Tesla and their customers, and the world got to benefit from an excellent open standard.

ETA: If believing that this is “winning” causes Tesla folks to encourage further positive-sum behavior, ignore everything I said: Tesla kicked everyone’s ass. Rah.
MailChannels CEO here. As discussed in my blog post, we're EOL'ing the free email delivery API that we made available to Cloudflare Workers users back in 2022. The uptake on the service was decent, but the uptake for the service did not meet our expectations.

We plan to launch a new email sending API that is richer in functionality, including features many developers need such as message delivery tracking; however, we also plan to add some features people haven't seen before. I am excited about that project and look forward to engaging with email API users again when there is something tangible to announce.

MailChannels continues to deliver an ever-growing amount of email for web hosting providers, ISPs, and mailbox providers. We send email for about 2 million unique domains and 13 million unique senders per week. We'll miss interacting with the Cloudflare community for the time being, but I look forward to coming back stronger with a revised API that has more of the features people want to support generative-AI email workflows.
But it can be seen the other way.

Tracking can give kids more freedom, because you can let them roam where they could get lost. For example, you can take them on vacation in a safe but unfamiliar place and let them do as they want. If they get lost, just use the tracker to find them. You don't even need to go for them immediately, you can let them try to figure it out by themselves and only go if it becomes really problematic. What would have been an unacceptable risk without a tracker becomes possible.

When I was a kid, my parents would have given a lot for such a tracker as I had the uncanny ability to lose them in the most remote places. highlights include central London (not my country, didn't speak English) and in a forest on a mountain with a thunderstorm approaching. I survived, but maybe a tracker could have saved my parents some sanity, they still talk to me about it, more than 30 years later.
Oh my god, these would be absolutely amazing as someone with auditory processing issues.
> I need control to see who they are talking to, chatting with, what apps they use, and controlling screen time.

I'm just some random on the internet, but this rubs me the wrong way. Trust is important in relationships, and this doesn't show any trust. Some of this is perfectly fine, but tracking their chatting is an invasion of privacy unless you have a specific reason to be worried.
They're not immune to the law, the law is just written so that all AI companies have to do all the bullshit safety stuff that OpenAI was already doing.

Now to be fair OpenAI's safety stuff is actually useful but it's useful for "programmable customer service agent" and companies that want to have a chatbot and not have it say fuck. But those tweaks aren't free, and come at the expense of model performance. So OpenAI pushed regulators hard on this and now everyone has to has to pay the same cost wooo!

It means you can't chip away at OpenAI's market by being better than them at specialized tasks because you have a raw completely unaligned non-instruction tuned model you use for say generating code. Because that model could be used to write viruses oohhh spooky.
well yeah when you pay the big bucks you can expect all the bells and whistles.

Are there really that many HNers who subscribe to FT, or have we devolved into having entire conversations as a mere reaction to a headline? (as I post this 2-3 hours after many other comments) Damn. :-s

After reading TFA, I'm surprised post-pandemic food service delivery usage is as high as it is today (in the ballpark of pandemic highs):

https://archive.ph/bZ2rh/679f7982ae6fbbfeae7e46350f253318eb6...

This seems positive for the future of the market sector.

Personally I avoid the delivery apps if at all possible, because I've learned it's usually a masochistic exercise in signing up for disappointment (and cooking a Simple Meal isn't really that hard, lol). I admit the dream of hot and fresh food delivered on demand is an appealing dream.

In the meantime, enjoy that not-even-lukewarm burrito.
Ask HN: How do you find what you're good at and make money?
I used to be a moderately high performer in just about everything - grades, sports, hobbies, college jobs, and even my first few years of professional life. Now I seem to be below average in most of those things. Like I'm in some sort of extended burnout across almost every category of life.

The most concerning part is my job. I've been getting a roller coaster of reviews for years. I'll get a good rating one year and a bad one the next. How can I find a job I'm actually good at? I'm a midlevel dev with about 12 yoe. I guess I should also mention I'm autistic.
He was fairly prescient. I started working remotely in 1998, and haven't stopped since.
Driving isn't really an option for children, which is the focus of these studies. Outdoor activities such as sports is a better idea.
I’m less worried about that with SpaceX than I am about most companies, because Elon has shown a willingness to just fire a large percentage of a company’s employees with the massive Twitter layoffs.
Ah, so when you say "Then the mirror became too slow and couldn't handle the amount of package data and was shut down" you're talking about the side that added packages to IPFS and did the initial seeding. That's what I wasn't following, thx.
Tell me more about the toasty brow please.
Yes but presumably this is a convenience for older kids and we're not expecting toddlers to roam about anywhere, gps or otherwise. They're capable of taking responsibility for a device.

SpaceX is a true marvel.

The closest competitor is Peter Beck's Rocket Lab. That's why SpaceX is using their monopoly position to attack them.[0] As I said in a different post, Beck is a combo of Musk and Tom Mueller.[1] The "only" things that Rocket Lab is missing is first-mover advantage, and billions of investment.
