> There's only no making money on health insurance

Health "insurance" is mostly not insurance: it's a healthcare plan for periodic maintenance and minor incidents combined with an insurance plan for large and catastrophic incidences.

When I buy car insurance, they don't give me 4 free (or even discounted) oil changes a year. Car insurance exists for large and catastrophic incidences. Same with home insurance.

Actual health _insurance_ plans are much cheaper than healthcare plans, but they also only cover large and catastrophic incidences.
Show HN: I built a site to track your buy it for life items
Hey HN,

I've been on a mission to buy higher quality, sustainable products, especially when replacing things I use frequently. To better understand the value of these items, I built a site to track how often I use them. Here is my list so far: https://www.costperuse.com/@nahtnam

Feel free to sign up and share the items that have served you well! https://www.costperuse.com/

You can also generate a sharable link for X (Twitter), complete with an open-graph image of your stats. Example: https://x.com/nahtnam/status/1797875287793004947

If there's interest, I have plenty of ideas to improve the site. With enough data, I aim to create lists of the best BIFL (Buy It For Life) items in various categories.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

“ However the original, anonymous user stumbled onto this photograph, it appears it was taken from either the Wayback directly, or the Wayback Machine crawled the same site the user had found, and kept that webpage’s preservation for over 20 years.”

Something people used to do is to use search engines to find images with file names that indicate they were from a digital camera. You could find all sorts of interesting photos that people had uploaded to share with their friends not realising that search engines would index them.

Consider defining or showing a few examples on the landing page describing exactly what a "buy-it-for-life" item is.

I'm not sure if you mean items I'll be buying until death (like soap, toothpaste, and socks), or things I buy once and expect them to last for a lifetime.

I see the "ZSA - Moonlander" example, but I'm unsure how to interpret what I'm seeing: "Hours" means how long I've had this particular item? And for what I paid for it, "Cost per hour" is just that.

Congratulations on the launch!

You're not necessarily wrong, but I wouldn't call it alarming in the context of an RTOS. Sometimes you just want to invoke the scheduler and let other stuff run for a while. In an RTOS, yielding or sleeping for a number of ticks has deterministic behavior. If you sleep for a few ticks, come back, and then have to sleep again, it's not the end of the world. Blocking on a concurrency primitive would be better, since you wouldn't get scheduled at all, of course, but sometimes you just don't have what you need hooked up. I'm not surprised to see them in the net stack - there's a lot of layers involved in networking, and network latencies are usually orders of magnitude longer than a scheduler tick.
I think the true term for this phenomenon is "decoherence" rather than "decoupling". Your components are still as coupled as they ever were, but the coupling has moved from compile-time (e.g. function calls) to runtime. The component that "handles events" decoheres the entire system because it's now responsible for the entire messaging layer between components, rather than the individual components being responsible for their slice of the system.
i know it's not quite what we're talking about, but people with wells can get an add-on mechanical pump that can retrieve water during power grid outages. 60 to 90 seconds of vigorous pumping can get 5 gallons from a 400 foot well, more than enough to flush a few toilets.
Why is this presented as some sort of "hack" or (to quote another commenter) "evil."

No one wants to go to trial. It makes no one happy, except lawyers.

Nor does this payment somehow remove the Justice Dept ability to sue. If they believe $2.3M is insufficient, they can still sue.

My standard for lower income class / middle income class / upper income class (not social, just income) is something along the lines of:

Lower class: Has little or no savings, probably works a "gig" job that pays on 1099s. Maybe has several part time jobs.

Middle class: Has 3-6+ months savings, the vast majority of their income is reported on a single W2 or 1099. Or they own a sole proprietorship kind of business. Either way, the majority of their income is coming from work or services. Net worth: Probably under $5M.

Upper class: The vast majority of their income is reported as capital gains. Owns multiple real estate properties. Net worth: 5-$500M.

Elite Upper class: I don't even know what to describe this as

Pretty much. Also all your projectors need to be deterministic.

eg. Your commands have to ALWAYS do the same thing else replaying the event log does not produce the same output and then you’re back to square one.

> I never even _thought_ about littering growing up.

Were we to meet, you would be the first person I could ever say that about.

I grew up long ago in a rural area with transplanted hill people. As a community, we could be a decade or two behind social mores. Even there+then, it crossed minds more than never.
> you have to keep maintaining and adjusting the pressure chamber to get the right pressure for the correct operation of the two check valves.

That may have been true of the pumps you made, but it's not correct in all cases. There was a ram pump where I grew up (in the 1950s) which worked year round to lift water from the spring line to a house higher up; it never needed adjustment and got almost no maintenance, it just worked and kept on working.
Wasn't it how people steal gasoline back in the days of gas caps not being locked? Guess it's a lost art.
The important distinction is not whether it has a propeller, but rather the powerplant: is it a reciprocating engine or a gas turbine? I'm going to go out on a limb a little and say that every single warplane in the US military has a gas turbine engine.

Some gas turbines drive a propeller (turboprop).
They will still go to trial, but they know they will not be able to get a jury to side with them. Thus a judge deciding the outcome is less risky, and there's a quirk in the court procedures that says "if there are no monetary damages, then you can't have a jury trial". So I would call this a hack.

> When a mutable random number generator is copied to a child task

When you make a child task, the parent adds one to the internal state of the random number generator and advances the random sequence by one. The child adds two to the internal state and advances the random sequence by one.

Now you can make any arbitrary tree of tasks, and those tasks each get their own random stream, there is no shared-between-task state or locking needed, and the whole thing is reproducible, even if parent and child tasks are scheduled arbitrarily. fork-ing and use of random numbers can be arbitrarily intermingled.
An article I remember being interesting on this topic. It discusses wood fired water heating systems.

https://www.homewoodstoves.co.nz/resources/heating-water-wit...
Tangentially related: My wife's grandparents lived on a farm that has been a working family farm for over 200 years. The ram pump was quite impressive in its day (pre-electricity); It meant not having to haul water from the spring or creek manually.

It was working and still the source of water for the farm house until they passed away (about a decade ago). There was always the rhythm of the ram in the background.
Bruh, the idea that tornado cash and SD are somehow equivalent is laughable. The point is that the open source stack means that there's no point where you can force any of these fingerprinting things in. It's all already out in the open. It's just like HDCP, if I can see the video on my computer I can pirate it, the same goes for glaze and related approaches, fundamentally you are not going to be able to prevent someone from training on an image if a human can correctly interpret the image as the artist intended. Sure you may cause some extra steps, but those steps will quickly be automated away. The vast majority of the "theft" from artists in the form of LoRAs and finetunes is done by individuals and trivially propagated all over the internet.

I can train a LoRA on a particular artist in about 6 hours using my old ass computer and a base model that's almost 2 years old plus 20 images scraped from wherever and achieve great results. Most of what gives the model the generic capability to create images doesn't need to be retrained, finetuning on styles is very cost effective. Though many of the advances in the capability of SD have nothing to do with training the model at all but rather advances in instrumentation and conditioning. Art is like 90% building on generic work that others have done before you and like 10% your own contribution if that. Everything is a remix. That is the the core truth that allows style transfer approaches to work even if the specific style is not represented in the training data, in most cases there's a blend of conditioning vectors that gets you pretty close.

Maybe the future of art is "making art that's hard for the computer to recreate" which would be dope, but the stuff it's already good at? That's over and done with, that cat is not going back in the bag. And to be clear, the set of stuff it's good at is larger than the set of things that are in the training data because of advanced conditioning techniques like CoAdapters/IPAdapter/ControlNet/modified CLIP conditioning etc.

And yes, millions of people, SD 1.5 had 4.5mil downloads in the last month alone.

I am having to make enhancements to a Ruby codebase where I barely know the language and the code base is completely foreign. So I tried using Cursor to provide AI autocompletion, suggests etc. It's definitely useful for this use case and so I can see the appeal for junior developers.

For my other code bases I find that the amount of time it saves is definitely nice but only barely worth paying another SaaS subscription for.

And so I'm happy to just wait for Jetbrains and Microsoft to roll this into the existing products for free.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll working on improving the landing page! You're totally right though, it lacks explanations and examples

To answer your question here, BIFL (in my experience) means paying extra for a premium quality item that will last significantly longer than the cheaper alternative. However, in some cases, it's worth buying the cheaper item if you don't use it enough.

The ZSA Moonlander example is a product I spent the extra $$$ on, and in the end it was totally worth it given how many hours I've spent using the keyboard. I built the site to put into perspective what the value of the keyboard is. Would I spend ~$0.04 an hour to rent this keyboard? Definitely yes

Banking, 7 ish years. Worked well for us in general. When I start needing increased confidence and truth the effort level goes way up but can be done. Definitely still worth it, has given us some solid benefits.

When I say increased, I mean we want the best answer but there are some answers the bank can’t know. If someone has transferred money into your account from another bank but we don’t know that yet, optimising for absolute correctness is pointless because the vast majority of wrong answers are baked in to the process. We can send you a message and you might read it a day later. Unless we delete the message from your phone, we can’t guarantee the message you read is fully consistent with our internal state.

Frankly our system is much better than the batch driven junk that is out of sync a second after it has executed. “Hey you have a reward.” “No I used it 2 hours ago you clowns.”

Note this isn’t cope. In some cases we started fully sync but relaxed it where there are tradeoffs that gave us better outcomes and we weren’t giving anything material up.

Wood Chipper Design for Biofuel Production After a Global Catastrophe
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickless_kernel

"The Linux kernel on s390 from 2.6.6[2] and on i386 from release 2.6.21 can be configured to turn the timer tick off... The XNU kernel from Mac OS X 10.4 on, and the NT kernel from Windows 8 on, are also tickless. The Solaris 8 kernel introduced the cyclic subsystem which allows arbitrary resolution timers and tickless operation. FreeBSD 9 introduced a "dynamic tick mode" (aka tickless).

Deaf people can already have kids
I’m starting to get a sad about event driven stuff.

I’ve used it with a good degree of success in some data pipeline and spark stuff to have stuff automatically kick off, without heinous conditional orchestration logic. I also use evented stuff over channels in a lot of my rust code with great success.

However, echoing the sentiments of some other comments: most articles about event driven stuff seem to be either marketing blogspam or “we tried it and it was awful”. To be honest I look at a lot of those blog posts and about half the time my thoughts are “no wonder that didn’t work out, that’s an insane design” but is that just “you’re-doing-it-wrong-cope”?

Are there success stories out there that just aren’t being written? Is there just no success stories? Is the architecture less forgiving of poor design and this “higher bar of entry” torpedoes a number of projects? Is it more susceptible to “architecture astronauts” which dooms it? Is it actually decent, but requires a somewhat larger mindset-change than most people take to it, leading to half-baked implementations?

I can’t help but feel the underlying design has some kernels of some really good ideas, but the volume of available evidence sort of suggests otherwise.
But it is true that huge amounts of our genome don't do anything. There are sequences where the same letter or string repeats thousands of times. There are many copies of things that have accumulated mutations that make them non-functional.

I'm not an expert in machine learning, but rather a web developer and data engineer helping develop a system to detect diseases from endoscopy images using the model developed by other ML engineers. And it was 5 years ago when I worked on the project, so please take it with a grain of salt.

If you want to learn machine learning for healthcare in general, it may help to start problems with tabular data like CSVs instead of images. Image processing is a lot harder, and takes a lot of time and computational power. But it's best to learn what you're interested in the most.

Anyway, first you need to be familiar with basic; Python, machine learning, and popular libraries like scikit-learn, matplotlib, numpy, and pandas. Those are tons of articles, textbooks, and videos to help you learn them.

If you grasp the basics, I think it's better to learn from actual code to train/evaluate models rather than more theories. Kaggle may be a good starting point. They host a lot of competitions for machine learning problems. There are easy competitions for beginners, and competitions and datasets in the medical field.

You can view notebooks (actual code to solve those problems well written by experts) and popular ones are very educational. You can learn a lot by reading those code, understanding concepts and how to use libraries, and modifying some code to see how it changes the result. ChatGPT is also helpful.

If you want to learn image classification, the technology used to detect objects from images and videos is called image classification and object detection. It uses CNN, one of the deep neural networks. You also need to learn basic image processing, how to train a deep neural network, how to evaluate, and libraries like OpenCV/Pillow/PyTorch/TorchVision. There are a lot of image classification competitions in the medical field on Kaggle too[0][1].

To run those notebooks, I recommend Google Colab. Image processing often uses a lot of GPUs, and you may not have GPUs, or even if you have it's difficult to set up the right environment. It's easier to use those dedicated cloud services and it doesn't cost much.

It's hard to learn, but sometimes fun, so enjoy your journey!
