Show HN: I created solopreneurs community to fight challenges in business
I am a lawyer turned into a solopreneur, and one of the hardest challenges I struggled was not feeling community share wins and stragies with like minded people. So long story short I created my own weekly free newsletter for solopreneurs like me: I share my legal tips, strategies, automated tips of the business, and motivation, as mental health and keeping eye on the focus is most challenging.

We have to contend with working with people who are sometimes very hard to work with. Watercooler talk gives you the opportunity to remember that the guy who keeps filing badly written tickets has a wife and kids and hobbies, and is likely filing badly written tickets because he's extremely overworked and doesn't have time to write better tickets.

We're social creatures, and having unstructured social interactions greases the wheels when we work together.

I'm sure this also depends on the kind of organization you work at, but I find that being on-site makes a huge difference. Yes, even in the quality of the work.
Rizin is a fork of radare2, so I guess mentioning the original would also be a nice thing to do:

Would be interesting to see if any relavant authorities could be interested now that this is out?

I understand some of this is a direct contradiction of things they have said in court previously?
Wow I didn't know Hitachi made anything outside of their superh/sh CPUs (which also do a mixed encoding scheme) I'm guessing they derived it from these guys and appeased the risc crowds. Off topic but I wonder what ever happened to that j-core project. I have a feeling understanding/learning both the turbo9/6809 along with the j2/sh2 would make for a great comparison.
An interesting aside here about moving away from React to Web Components was a big part of their improvement it seems.
>“This is a very powerful adversarial force that is seeking to undermine science, and now it’s not only going after the science. It’s going after the scientists,” he says.

Some vague "very powerful" anti-scientist conspiracy theory is unbecoming of nature mag. You write this entire article about harassment and don't know the name to this 'adversarial force"?

>Such threats to scientists aren’t new; those researching climate change and gun control, for example, have endured abuse for decades.

So scientists whose feet are deep into politics and not science? Does being a scientist mean you can't ever be criticized during political topics? Gun control has basically nothing to do with science. But this reveals the truth of this entire article.

>Anthony Fauci, the former director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Again, politics, not science.

>Researchers say that the surge in abuse is showing no signs of slowing down, even as the pandemic itself slips from the headlines.

The big change and "surge" is that scientists have gone deep into politics and are attempting to shield themselves from criticism.

I get that we are moving toward a technocracy, but the rules of politics are VERY VERY different from science.

>In the United States, says Hotez, “the aggression against science and scientists is coming from one political party, and the extreme element of one political party”.

Again, politics. Rather biased here as well. I assume they are alleging MAGA is the 'very powerful adversarial force' but I certainly don't agree.

This entire article has nothing, they do a poor job at deflecting that this is entirely about politics and not science.
Instead of calling everything you don't understand stupid you could just make some effort to comprehend

Wasn't that extremely obvious at the time?

The fundamental problem with the Internet is that people don't want to pay for things on it.

No matter what, whatever we ended up with was going to be shitty and exploitive.
You can have some of the social remotely too. I’ll often open our weekly engineering meeting on Slack with a few minutes of people talking about their weekend or related stuff. It happens in chats as well. Of course we’re a small team who have worked together for years.
The US put 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and the rest of the Western/developed world are probably going to follow suit so… they can probably respond by doing nothing in particular.

I’m conflicted about these tariffs since on one hand I understand the security threats and I’d like the rest of the world to catch up so it’s not just China dominating the market, but on the other it seems sad that affordable and effective EVs are here and probably can make a significant dent in emissions but the politics keep them from being utilized.
How is that useful? It just has a big tank of gas, no? That doesn't really seem revolutionary.

2.9 l/100 km is pretty good though.
I switched to Kagi in June last year. I just realized I tried it initially because I wanted to try out blocking sites in search results, and I have only ever needed to block three domains.
Toyota have been making hybrids since the 90s. How is it that BYD have managed to come out of nowhere and doubled the range of any Prius?
I used to work at Sonos, long before their current app update debacle and headphone debut.

During the first aborted product effort to develop headphones, we were looking at a conceptual feature similar to this - selectively allowing people’s voices through the ANC chipset.

I don’t recall the exact approach the DSP folks were using (I was closer to the hardware for ANC) but they were really only able to figure out how to isolate the wearer’s voice by virtue of that signal having more power than all the others.

This is terribly cool. I wonder what other kinds of fun you could have with headphones. ANC chipsets are incredibly powerful and I’d wager their capabilities are not even close to fully tapped.

OpenAI can't have it both ways. Either it's not a company owned by it's founders (as Sam claims) or it is. A board that does nothing ever is equivalent to the former.

You can get earplugs with ~30 dB reduction and builtin in-ear monitors. Slap some microphones and such on the outside, and you can probably work with it.
Yes. "The science" has become a religion for many.

That's not how science is supposed to work.
The number of golden visas may be relatively small to affect prices on themselves (around 20.000 for Portugal in the last ~10y [1]). But I would bet that there is a connection between golden visas and the rise in the numbers of AirBnB properties.

The golden visa is just a fast and convenient way to get a foothold in the country and do further investments. And what would these investments be? Probably AirBnBs...

This is supported by data presented in [1]: >90% of golden visa holders acquired it via real estate investments. Now, would anyone pour their life's savings in a single property investment in a far away land? I would say no. So these golden visa holders are probably very well-off and they will continue "investing" in real estate, and expecting returns on their investment. Which translates to more AirBnBs.

Agreed. This had absolutely nothing to do with science. This is entirely people who abused their authority in politics and are hoping someone else will save them.

>Those scientists will need to work a bit harder if they expect to regain the public trust.

These harassed scientists didn't understand politics, went deep and damaged public trust to an extreme degree. They are now repeating their consequences.

That hurts a little too deep.

Elegant code and clean architecture are no match for the chaos of the human mind.
I've had to go for a dual boot for most of my stuff as I like to work linux but tons of tools that work in windows better that I need to use for work.

AMD GPUs are damn good value, in fact even AMD processors tend to pack quite an amazing punch compared to what we'd get with intel in the same price brackets.

Linux all the way!
This is cool, but the flipping-over aspect seems a bit annoying, perhaps one could draw lines connecting points of the border of the right side to corresponding points on the left side instead to not require the flipping over.

And make versions that are aligned in other directions rather than the equator perhaps

I could not hear anyone in any crowded situation. At middle age I thought my hearing was leaving. Yet every audiologist I went to said my hearing was fine. So I found the best audiologist in my fairly large metro area, and scheduled a year in advance (the wait list was that long).

After a whole day of tests the audiologist comes in and says I have good news and bad news and good bad news. The good news is that my hearing was beyond great, it was at the level of a 5 year old. The bad news: I could hear so well I was unable to differentiate sound; my hearing hadn’t gotten worse, my brain’s ability to separate sound had. The good bad news is that my hearing would inevitably deteriorate, as all ours does, and for several years I’d be able hear in public places!

I think part of what has made this worse is that restaurant and public space designers have stopped thinking about sound. Most bars opened in the last 15 years have cement floors, very little sound insulation, and they’re based on the idea that you’re not having a good time unless your ears are ringing.

I’ve stopped patronizing these places if only because I literally cannot maintain conversations.
Have you measured the bandwidth usage or packets per second when this happens? It is possible for websites to consume all available bandwidth. It used to be pretty universal that your internet connection was smaller than your Wi-Fi connection. This allowed various queuing and discard algorithms within your router to do their job and provide some sort of fairness to the various things competing for bandwidth. Modern internet connections can be 1gb or more which can far exceed what Wi-Fi can actually do. This kind of flips the mechanisms where the congestion is actually happening and can cause odd behavior.

Google and I imagine other specialized sites do play some trickery with how they craft their TCP packets potentially to avoid some things like this. So it is possible that it's less a bug in their web RTC and more an optimization with the other sites that don't have this same behavior.

It's really difficult to tell beyond some general speculation without some packet captures bandwidth graphs and packets per second measurements.

Coincidentally, yesterday I saw (again) “The West Wing” scenes[1] that express this problem (and the related social issues). It was the first learned about map projections and I think if they aren’t already an explicit topic in school, they ought to be. I find it very interesting.

I literally said in my last comment who they could've told that would've made the whole thing probably go over better.
After my first few jobs out of college (15 years ago), I realized I hate working from someone else's office. It feels so constrained and like I'm in school again. Remote work was very rare then with salaried jobs, but not as a contractor.

The company I'm working for now had an office pre-pandemic (I would meet with the director once/month), sold the one here locally during the pandemic, and got acquired by a large, international, company where the majority of the employees work remotely and the HQ is in Europe (I'm in the US).

The last time I had to go to an office was for a local contract a few years ago (80 miles away from me) that required me to drive-in once/week for a few hours. The project ended after a few months and I found something 100% remote.

I used to work from coworking spaces and sometimes the library, but now I have my own home office. Everyone talks about mixing life and work when working from home. It's pretty easy for me to just turn everything off and walk away at 5.
Apologies, I might have misunderstood: when you say carrot, are you referring to things like extra bump in salary to go in?
How Running a Business Changes the Way You Think (2011)
Damn, this is really really helpful! I do have an m1 macbook pro which tends to handle all that I need to throw at it at this point in time and works pretty well out of the box.

However for certain other things I've been inclining more and more towards Linux especially as Windows experience is dwindling although tbh I think W11 is a big step up from what windows has offered in the past.

But then again with some touch in cybersec etc I think my bias for at least personal work, studies and running DS stuff I do prefer Linux, Arch primarily with KDE.

But I haven't gotten rid of Windows and plus since my work more or less requires it I don't think I will do anyways, as you said - all comes down to the recommended tech stack by the development environment itself.
If you have never worked in a highly regulated industry such as defense or finance then I don’t think you would be so flippant over the data loss concerns.
The battery, because at the end of the day BYD is a battery manufacturer.

Most PHEVs are Hybrid ICE first and battery second. BYD's is the other way around because Japanese companies didn't ToT Hybrid engine technology in the 2000s unlike battery tech (BYD's was initially a ToT JV by Panasonic EDIT: NTT, Sony, and Sanyo. CATL was TDK and Panasonic).
How much of that is politicized?
"Ledoyen attributes this to the elusive French idea of terroir. No translation accurately explains this concept [...]"

Terroir means earth, hence land (as in Terra for the name of planet Earth). Every peasant everywhere throughout all time understood and understands that the local soil and conditions affect the final agricultural product.

There's nothing elusive or untranslatable about the French word.

I always find myself sitting down to read Out of the Tar Pit[0] at least a couple times per year. It has been—and continues to be—one of the most seminal texts in my career. I still remember the first time I read the following passage on complexity, and how it just turned on all the mental light bulbs:

>> Essential Complexity is inherent in, and the essence of, the problem (as seen by the users).

>> Accidental Complexity is all the rest — complexity with which the development team would not have to deal in the ideal world (e.g. complexity arising from performance issues and from suboptimal language and infrastructure).

>> Note that the definition of essential is deliberately more strict than common usage. Specifically when we use the term essential we will mean strictly essential to the users’ problem (as opposed to — perhaps — essential to some specific, implemented, system, or even — essential to software in general).

The best skill I've learned, and continued to practice and improve, is the ability to strip how we talk about problems we want to solve with software down to what's truly essential to the problem. Making a habit of doing so helps clarify the contours of the problem itself, and improves discussions around solving because the boundaries of what's truly essential become clear—and then everyone involved knows that every choice we make from that point is additional, accidental complexity we are adding to the problem ourselves.

Far too often I have seen even greenfield software quickly ratchet up the overall complexity because the people making choices don't take the time to really isolate the problem from the software—but instead frame the problem within the context of languages, frameworks, architecture, infrastructure, and so on, and then just start slinging code at the problem.

If you haven't yet read Into the Tar Pit, it truly changed the way I look at and think about software and problem complexity. You may find value in it, as well.

Sounds like a great way to spy on all people and extract all conversations. I can't wait for judges to declare that all conversation at your office must be recorded like some of them have for chat. This tech is a step to enable such a thing.
Hard to find a link with all the noise, but there was a big employer in Singapore that studied work from home well before COVID and started to switch to remote work because it made employees so much more productive. Yet this piece casually asserts "Against all expectations, remote workers appear to work harder and more productively than workers in traditional offices." The only people with these expectations were those who ignore the literature on productivity. Kind of sad that this seems to include most managers and workers in tech.
Cool insight. Anyone with more knowledge care to weigh in? Some supermassive dark matter there? Also, on what timeframe might this change if so? Note to self to Google this topic in a year.
I get your point! More ownership is always a great idea, I've seen friends of mine lose accounts with thousands of people following them for no reason at all!
It is not specific to "back to the office". You generally can't "force" good employees to do things they don't want to.

You can get them back to the office, some of them don't mind, some may even want it, or you may be able to negotiate it with an appropriate compensation, but you can't force them or they will just leave. Same for everything else: being on-call, travel, overtime work, flexible hours, etc...
Even in firmware level code, you can still get most of the benefits. There are very few cases where you don't gain any safety at all.
the general problem seems to be when a protocol uses the counter as a diversification component, it becomes another secret value to manage. I can't think of an example where it is and isn't, but only using an authenticated counter (via something like hotp or a ratchet) is a subtle design challenge.
That hurts a little too deep.

Elegant code and clean architecture are no match for the chaos of the human mind.

Note how even the author thinks that nonsensically complex systems like Kubernetes and Zookeeper are the best possible designs.
I'm curious what's actually been done here, because a regular hybrid is just an efficient gas powered vehicle - so you could have any range you want by sizing the tank appropriately. The Prius Gen 2 (my car) has a 45L tank, which is smaller then equivalent Toyota vehicles in that size range and good for about 800km.

I imagine that under the right test conditions, if you were using a plug-in hybrid design and have a fairly substantial battery pack, then it would be different - because then you're just using EV mode for part of the range, and the gas for the rest of it (and choose your speed for optimal ICE performance vs. drag losses).

Main differences.

AMD is fabless competes directly with Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm, ... etc for fab capacity. Intel can supply has own manufacturing capacity. Must also spend heavily. Will get closer to TSMC over time.
The Gervais principle is correct once again.
Thats exactly what I am talking about.

Kagi is kind of like Google in 2009, seriously good coverage, good ranking

... but also:

- more modern

- more features (summarizer, bangs like in DDG, FastGPT and probably a few I forgot)

- blocklists for websites (and also options to pin, raise and lower)

- with actual support: report a bug and you get an answer from a real engineer, a follow up when it is fixed and a shout out in the relevant release notes

- no tracking
> “his conduct did not mandate removal.”

Curious what “mandate” refers to here. He didn’t do anything illegal? Didn’t break bylaws? Or was it that he didn’t do anything to lose the trust?

He could have done everything well within his right as the CEO, but still gotten fired for failure to build trust with the board
It doesn't sound like you disagree with the thesis of this article as much as you think you do. Your argument basically boils down to "complexity can be controlled if you spend enough time and mental effort on doing so."

Which, I mean, is exactly the point of this article - software complexity is like entropy, it will always increase over time unless energy is spent to keep it low.

Most companies have no economic incentive to spend this energy, therefore most software becomes poorly built over time. It's not because the engineers were bad or because they had bad culture, it's simply because we live in a capitalist world.
I have some specific ideas on high school maths education that I’d like to develop into a book or two for self-publishing. Working is currently one serious obstacle to that.

If anyone enables their camera that's usually causing a short burst of laughter. Not because there's anything particularly funny, but simply because noone is used to see other people's faces anymore.

From what the video says, it sounds like you could get a much better price by buying the devices directly from the constructor, even without the healthcare subsidies. But doing so means you need to calibrate them yourself.

I wonder if some constructors could target this use-case by making aids that are very easy to self-calibrate.

On the other hand, the median hearing aid user is pretty old, has lots of disposable money and has never watched a youtube tutorial in their life, so it might be a small market.
