Possible but not easy.

Visa and Mastercard make a highly complex payment system look easy to consumers. They also have developed a high level of trust with consumers and businesses.

It is a two sided market. I know I can go out with a credit (or debit) card in my wallet and use it in many places, the vendor knows that most people have a payment card so it is worth it for them to work with the incumbent. Starting out from zero you have a much harder time.

They also play a mean game of political engineering. Since they work closely with banks there are local and regional banks in every legislative district. Vendors complain about high fees, but some of those fees get kicked back to consumers in the form of “points”; consumers see that, they don’t see that everything is a little more expensive even if you don’t use credit because vendors are forced to build those fees into their prices.

Note it isn’t free to handle cash so comparing 3%-ish fees to 0% is wrong since cash is attractive to steal for both employees and others and requires time safes, armed guards, etc.

Note American Express and Discover are both alternative payment cars that look the same to the consumer but worked differently from a business perspective at least until the 2008 crisis. Then there are the Paypals and Venmos and M-PESAs of the world which there are an awful lot of because there are so many countries where Visa and Mastercard are not as entrenched.
In what way does it seem simple?
> Why would anyone want to have kids today?

I'm gradually learning through experience and anecdotes that most women seem to have an innate biological drive to procreate, which is separate from sex drive. I think that's the main reason.
This was discussed in about 1300 comments when it occurred in 2021. Is there anything new about replit that warranted the re-submission?

And I see personal attacks on the CEO here in some comments that refer to his opinions about the most divisive topic on HN nowadays.
>Why not report that upfront?

Because it doesn't pay to be honest.
Yes, it feels like the world is about to implode.

I don’t have any friends that care about their own security and privacy. Wanna be my friend? Lol
Yes, it's already happening in some places, for instance: https://cryptopotato.com/saint-kitts-and-nevis-to-make-bitco...
Ultimately an unintended consequence of trying to reduce costs. Otherwise they'd just use full throttle.
I know that a government’s primary objective is to perpetuate itself and grow, but other than that, what is wrong with a declining population? Especially as young people concentrate in urban centres which remain dynamic. People often quote the need for workforce to maintain the extravagant lifestyles of the retirees, but they will not starve in any case, will they? And if everywhere has Japan’s birthbrate, you get to solve pollution emissions, housing crisis and other problems in one or two generations.

You can safely ignore capex once the plant is built, though. Because nobody is going to give you the money back. And so, after the plant is built, the only relevant optimization parameter left is marginal cost.
Nice.

I wonder if you could do something creepy by starting with a standard log tail output and then slowly introducing more and more visible patterns before, I dunno, a scary face appearing out of the text.
The 3DFX jump was almost the same as playing games badly rendered from the GBA (or maybe the first Nintendo DS games) to the quality of the PSP.

Or, as a better example, compare the V-Rally game for the GBA with Ridge Racer for the PSP.

Deus Ex and Unreal could run under a 3DFX card. The jump from a software rendered Quake (or just any software rendered Unreal game) to a hardware rendered one was pretty noticeable.
At which point does it make sense for the Japanese government to just start a baby production facility? Pay women to be artificially inseminated for the purpose of human generation. Feasible, yes, ethical and moral, questionable, but ..it might be scalable.
This is commonly repeated but I don’t think it has any basis in reality. Dating apps compete. the one your friends tell you they met their partner is the one you sign up for.

Are you claiming that no company asks irrelevant leetcode-style questions as part of its interview process? If so, that’ll require some more evidence than “well, I haven’t been asked any such questions.”
Yeah this is Dall-E incapable of cleanly writing text. The 2 C is just a “hallucination” from the 26 C. This is a hobby project and as such I prioritized the text looking unique every time (and usually more artistic than in that image), rather than put a traditionally rendered text on there, but image generation models are not good enough for this use case if you were to make a serious product out of it.
What is "FINITE"?
I think the crushing time commitment of Japanese professionals to their jobs is part of the problem. From my limited western understanding, after work, and socializing with your colleagues from work, there's very little time for Japanese couples to start a family.
> I can never remember whether /x means "the last x bits are 0" or "the first x bits are 1"

> People should write 80/48 or 48/80 to be clear

The clarity is found implied in your preferred example.

- "80/" would mean "80 bits before"

- "/48" would mean "48 bits after"
That's an interesting approach. I am curious, why is editing and adding notes to the Tweets important for you?

That’s ignoring an important period before WW1 and between both world wars, where Paris was a magnet for American artists and enjoyed a minor golden age.

OTOH Berlin never really had the cultural importance that Paris, London or New York had. The counter-culture was much broader than gay bars and both England and the UK were much more influent. I’m not denigrating Berlin because I love the city, but it just is not in the same league. And it certainly was not prominent for a century.
The pdf had absolutely horrible keming (long words were visibly broken into their component parts) on my mobile reader which I thought was a deliberate part of the joke until I opened it on desktop and it looked fine. I assume it was perhaps substituting a different font or something.
>the one your friends tell you they met their partner is the one you sign up for

That's also survivorship bias. My friend met his GF at a sports-group. I've been going to that sports group for a year and didn't meet a GF. I met my ex-GF in a coffee shop. My friend has been going to that coffeeshop for a while and didn't meet a GF.

There's too much randomness in dating and variance between people, to draw conclusion that just because an app or social place/group worked for one person it will bring results to another.

There's no sure thing in dating apps, otherwise everyone would be on that one app and stop going out altogether if it were that easy to find a partner.
Reminds me of the movie Midnight in Paris, where a guy comes to Paris with romantic visions and is disappointed by the modern touristy reality. Whither the 1920s Paris of Hemingway, Dali, and Stein? And then he accidentally happens across a portal to that era, and falls in love with a girl… who is entirely disillusioned with the interwar Paris that doesn’t live up to her romantic associations with the Paris of Balzac and Toulouse-Latrec, the Moulin Rouge at its peak! So he shows her the portal which takes them back in time to the 1870s where they go to the Moulin Rouge and meet Toulouse-Latrec, who rues the loss of the Paris of the 1820s. What a glorious time period that was!
Takashi Kokubo's Ion Series [video]
A series of New Age/kankyō ongaku albums by Takashi Kokubo, designed primarily as soundscapes for office workers and, in one case, a sound installation. The first five volumes, released in 1992, were surtitled "都市生活者へおくる音風景" (Toshi seikatsu-sha e okuru oto fūkei, "Sound landscape for city residents".) The final five were released in 1993. All ten were reissued on June 21, 1996 as "Message from Oasis."
I think you're confused - this is a from-scratch new design, not an old prototype. There's no adapter other than the desktop mount, the VSA-100 is directly mounted to the board that plugs into the laptop.
Nobody said they bought it: an adversary could. Since I found evidence the domain leaks, I think we can assume there are risks to resolve in code.
How about how they offered a classroom product for teachers to deploy an online IDE. Then with no notice while people were in the middle of classes replit pulled the plug on it with no notice.

No one should be patronizing a company like this.

I've been thinking an escrow system could work. On signup, you pledge to donate to a charity when you leave. Candidates won't be able to get back their funds, they can only release them. Once they have a mate, their mate would make sure the money is released. The platform could take a cut to finance their operations.

The amount pledged and the charity could be public for extra virtue signaling.

How can someone write an article on that theme without ever mentioning self-publishing? It may not be super big in mainstream books yet, but it is getting pretty common for genre literature to first publish and build an audience on something like RoyalRoad, then self-publish, and then get picked up by something bigger. And it also ties very much into some of the themes of the article to cooperate and do shout-outs to other authors, as that is super common in those circles.
I am genuinely curious of how they are going to design the matching system. Which features are going to be used to describe individuals?

If you think about it, there has never been a good time to have children. In 1920 I could’ve said why have kids, they might die from an infection. 1820s, famine or war etc.
1. No, they aren't forms of genre fiction

2. Middlemarch isn't social realism. If you had to put a label on it, it would be psychological fiction a la Stephen King

Markdown vs. AsciiDoc: I find that mdBook is sufficient for my needs.

Where Markdown comes short for me is presentation layout. The only worthy contender of LaTeX so far is Typst. I’ve made my resume and my slides with Typst, and it’s amazing.

I really like SciPress, and I think a web-based VSCode with the right plugins and a presentation layer holds a LOT of potential.
I don't see any dishonesty here. Boeing has designed a system that sets up pilots for failure. It's Boeing's fault, not the pilots', that the auto-throttle disengages for no reason and that they then have to manually set the correct thrust during an already high workload situation. It's absurd and unacceptable. This is the kind of unsafe work culture that I thought we were done with in aviation.
The guy was a legend - flew fighter jets, was a test pilot, and then an astronaut. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt - I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing.

There have only been 3 year on year rises between 1980 and 2014 (increases of 0.1, 0.1 and 0.2 infant deaths per 1000 live births) [1].

Since then, there have been 2 sustained rises over several years, totalling 0.3 in each case. The second of which is ongoing and could continue to rise - we lack data from 2023.

These are anomalous given the decades long downward trend in this type of mortality.

(There are other very significant issues in maternal healthcare from the same period. A corresponding upward trend in maternal mortality in recent years [2]. And black women in the UK are nearly four times more likely than white women to die within six weeks of giving birth, based on figures from 2018-2020.)

Call it what you want, but outcomes surrounding a basic biological function getting worse after 14 years of control by a single party in one of the richest countries in the world is worth covering.

This isn't partisan politics either. Compare these non-opinion headlines from the famously left-leaning (sic) Telegraph:

- 2011 - Infant mortality falls by 60 per cent in a generation [3]
- 2024 - British infants more likely to die before first birthday than those in other developed countries [4]
> The UK’s global ranking has gradually fallen from 23rd in 2015 when the infant mortality rate was 3.9 deaths per 1,000 births. While other countries improved, Britain’s rate stagnated before it fell during the pandemic back to figures not seen since 2012.

Even though they ultimately will tend to point the blame in different directions, they are reporting the same underlying story.

I don't understand at all why this would be unethical. Maybe I'm working for a company making a product I have expertise for and I'm passionate about, but they're making decisions that I feel make it worse for users unnecessarily. I leave and start my own competing product to do it my own way that I consider to be the better way. This isn't unethical. This is the nature of all competition everywhere going back as far as anybody can remember. I've stolen nothing at all, so I'm not sure on what basis it would be unethical.

And if it's a topic or industry I have expertise and knowledge of, why would I throw that all away just because I worked for a company where I used that expertise and knowledge? That's basically implying that we're all "ethically" subject to non-competes for the rest of our lives after working for a company making a particular kind of product.

That's clearly and absolutely "inelegant", to use your phrasing.

(I've heard that although Buck Owens had many solid hits, Barrett Strong could stop traffic. I guess that's why they used to keep C&W charts separate from R&B: because the artists were of different calibres?)

Exercise: the Owens 1964 hit "Heart Skips a Beat" is different to the Murs 2011 hit of the same title; is it possible to release an LP's worth of songs, none of which would be appropriate for muzak in hospital? (if so, what would be the most appropriate runout message?)

People who are misinformed by watching too much news will call the cops on kids without grownups near by. This is somewhat rare, but it feeds into a real culture of misinformation where parents think this happens enough to fear letting them roam.

The feedback loop self reinforces because of lack of education - many people don’t realize the more news they consume the less they know about the statistics on the ground.

Also, cars are more dangerous now than before for kids to get crushed by.

One of the most annoying things about the NPUs is that they are generally built around vendor provided compilers. Having an ISA extension for a popular ISA that is just a compiler patch in LLVM or GCC away is a whole different experience than running Vitis AI to compile to Ryzen AI. Performance isn't necessarily about having the fastest hardware, it is about having the fastest software and software that gets faster and faster every year because it is simple to update will outcompete software that doesn't.
It just isn't. You're allowed to make products that compete with products already on the market, even if you've worked for the company making that product. Unless there's specific IP that was stolen, I don't see how this is in any way unethical or shady. They hired you to develop that product, and you did. Nowhere in that contract is anything saying you can never use what you learned elsewhere. They'd need to pay you significantly more than what they paid you (which they won't). And there are great reasons why non-competes are basically invalid in most places.

Ask HN: Privacy-Aware Inferencing for LLMs
Hello,

One of the biggest challenges with cloud-based inferencing for LLMs is keeping user data private. Is it possible to use both local and cloud machines together to solve this?

For example, could we run the first and last layers of an LLM on a local machine to protect the data privacy and use the cloud for the rest to speed things up? We could fine-tune the first and last layers locally to change the weights and keep them away from the cloud.

Please let me know if there's any ongoing researches using such approach for privacy-aware inferencing.

Thank you.

Semi related, why does it seem like the forecast, current temp, and historical temp, are always 10c lower than reality in summer? Happens across a few locations I monitor, both urban and rural.

I’ll often read 41c outside, 35c in shade, but the weather says it’s currently 29c.
This is ridiculous. There are no rules, not even ethical ones, preventing you from starting a competing company. Especially since generally we don't start companies "putting our effort into destroying the jobs of our former co-workers". That's an absurd take.
That's why it's either AGPLv3 or copyrighted all rights reserved. "Permissive" anything is just unconditional transfer of wealth from well meaning developers straight into the pockets of corporations.
