>> If someone is speculating they should say that.

I agree. This was not speculation though. It was a hypothetical, signaled by the use of "illustrative".

The OP was making a point, not about that order of magnitude, they were saying that whatever the number is, Amazon knows it. Even if the OP, myself and yourself don't. It is possible they deliberately selected an implausibly low number, in order to further signal this as a hypothetical.

>> I'm afraid you are too used to the blurry edges of the "truth".

Please, less of the personally directed comments like this. I am trying to explain how you have misconstrued the OP's comments. It would be great if you could take us as arguing in good faith.
can you link to the sources that those numbers came from? i wouldn't be surprised if serp summaries were llm-generated nonsense
So, move all of GRUB’s complexity into the kernel

I guess that was the issue, we were casual skiers who just enjoyed the runs so when they offered wax, it was of no use to us so may father refused. This was at the mountain ski shop so you know they pushed everything they could.
Solution in C#: use named parameters: RaiseInvoice(taxInvoice: false, sendEmail: true)
Yes v3 is very welcome, v2 only works on outdated Node versions and package compatibility is becoming an issue...
It's definitely not a ghost town, but the community feels smaller and pace is a little slow.
I'm a bit in the same boat, I found nothing that can replace it.
Sure, but the data you give them is pretty much a condition of attending their shows, not whether you use their app, Chrome, or a PC in the library to buy the ticket. Regardless, they will get some contact and basic financial info for you unless you avoid all their concerts (which is certainly a principled and defensible choice!)
Not supported. Minimum 15. See "8. Compiler support"
I'm glad that works for you! Unfortunately, that wasn't enough for me and still led to some pretty groggy/brain-foggy days. Hence the "optimization" to understand which levers to tweak. They've now just become a habit and helped me stay in tune with why certain things might be off.
> It's not just making up a bullshit address, it's generating a random localpart then going to the email forwarding service you've integrated and having that service create an email forward to your real address per whatever settings you have there.

Fair enough - the one I use automatically creates an alias whenever it receives an email at the relevant domain so there's no need to manually create one, I assumed the other services were the same.
this has to be done on every instance of where I use Bitwarden separately?
That is not how publishing works. Publisher produces the book, sells to book stores, and pays royalties to the author out of their portion. The author gets 10-15% for every book sold. The whole point of going traditional publishing route is to put the risk of producing the book on the publisher. Self-published authors get bigger cut, but have to pay for editing and promotion.

There are advances where publishers give money to the author before the book is even completed. The royalties first pay off the advance before author gets royalty checks. Most authors never pay off the advance, but they don't have to pay it back.
I believe most authors do not earn out their advance of $5k - $10k. I'm not sure how long it takes to write a book, but I'd be willing to be that ends up being less than minimum wage. If you enjoy reading, but don't think they deserve even that amount, well...
Audio has a few things going for it.

1. It's significantly more standardized and straightforward for data interpretation. MIDI is standard (and OSC sort of fizzled), and audio clips (wav, aiff, whatever) are also very standard. You don't have the issues of color science, and you have a much smaller range of transformations that can be done to an audio clip.

2. A lot of infrastructure is standardized. From hardware interaction, to key mapping, but also things like plugins (Audio Units, VSTs, RTAS/AAX). It's so much simpler to go between apps.

3. A lot of audio workflows are treated as procedural and non-destructive.

Compare this to images:

1. Color science is horrific. Even Adobe often get it wrong (Krita was actually the best for a long time). D

2. Plugins are very application specific. So biggest marketshare often wins.

3. The range of transformations people want to do is massive. Each of them need very bespoke workflows, and due to the lack of standardized plugins, they're rarely shared.

4. A lot of image workflows are destructive by nature. A lot of image plugins as well are destructive.

5. Document interchange still sucks. For raster, you'll be plagued by color science issues. For vector, you'll be plagued by nobody implementing SVG the same.

6. Hardware APIs also vary wildly. For a long time, you had to target every vendor of pen you wanted to support for example.

I think a large part of it is due to the industries behind it. Video and Audio need to scale massively within a single project, across a lot of hardware devices, and production houses. The data is massive in comparison. Issues cost a lot.

Images are smaller in scale. An issue can be fixed very cheaply.

The Video and Audio industries fixed this by putting effort into standardization, education and interoperability. Images never had that attention.
GitHub workflows? 3 months ago. Source? Last year.

Still, less dead.
That's fair! Love that take. It's what my partner does and it works wonders for her.
No one's asking you to care. Some people wouldn't notice tripled text size, even though it's similarly hard for me to imagine.

I usually notice motion interpolation within a second of watching. I also find it to be intolerable.

Maybe people like you can come out ahead on the newly reduced prices on these RokuTV's with recently reduced market value.
> free distros taken note of this?

Gnome tries hard to emulate Apple's approach. Results are mixed, but I've seen fans of it.

Elementary OS goes in the "normal users" direction, too.

OTOH if something goes badly wrong, and you do need to open the hood and follow an arcane tech support recipe, you open a command line, be it Linux. macOS, or Windows. (Not Android or iOS though, where you do a reset + restore dance.)

> people want out of Windows

Yes, here's where they meet Steam Deck, that did take note, and just puts you into a cared-for gaming environment. It can also run a typical desktop. The hardware is proprietary, but the software is (mostly / completely?) free.
>Seems like an easy bet to take.

Well, yeah, you're two years too late.
Deliberately, both in order to mark it in a special way to stand out clearly, as well as to avoid having to add indentation for such a code where it is unnecessary and not helpful. That line of code will soon be deleted anyways, so it does not matter much if other people dislike it.
Mark Forkner was a pilot charged in the MCAS debacle (and acquitted).
You can do that sort of thing with a toy universe -- in fact Stephen Wolfram has a number of ongoing projects along broadly similar lines -- but you can't do it in our physical universe. Among other reasons, the universe is to all appearances infinite and simultaneously very complex, therefore it is incompressible and cannot be described by anything smaller than itself, nor can it be encapsulated in any encoding. You can make statistical statements about it -- with, e.g., Ramsey Theory -- but you can never capture its totality in a way that would enable its use in computation. For another thing, toy model universes tend to be straightforwardly deterministic, which is not clearly the case with our physical universe. (It is likely deterministic in ways that are not straightforward from our frame of reference.)
Nice story about perseverance. But I do not know how helpful this is to young researchers.

My advice for young researchers is read more articles - like at least a solid month of reading and journaling full time (40 hrs per week) before you even start to think about what you want to start off with by replicating.

The other related mistake I see young researchers make a lot is not leveraging pre-existing work / results and wasting weeks or months reinventing the wheel.
I always keep remembering Discworld of going one way and becoming the extreme. Rephrased from Moving pictures:

> Not simply, ordinarily cold. Ordinary cold was merely the absence of movement. It has passed through there a long time ago, had gone straight through commonplace idleness and out the far side. It put more effort into staying still than most things put into movement.

Hopefully this replicates well. I think the microbiome plays a huge role in human health and disease and that we basically have largely ignored the microbiome.
What problem do you think ensuring every participant is an actual human would solve?
Good luck forcing a check like this at a busy event venue.

I once paid at Starbucks with the Apple Wallet barcode appearing in a photo of my phone displayed on the back of a DSLR. Plopped my not-remotely-iPhone-like Nikon D800 on the counter lens-down, LCD-up, barista scanned it without a second thought.
Ever watched The Wire?

Discussing federal prosecutions, specifically, they talk about something known in slang as “the head-shot” for federal investigators and prosecutors: finding that someone took a loan from an associate, then used that money to secure a bank loan (a mortgage, say) while misrepresenting the loaned money as their own, then later paid the money back (making it clear, in the paper trail, that it was in fact a loan).

It’s very easy to understand, easy to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, it’s fraud, and it’s a great entry to comb through the books looking for more crimes.

“Something every kid does with their parents to buy their first home”, one Baltimore cop observes.
With regards to potential solutions, I think it really comes down to fighting for a system we believe is sustainable long term and resilient to bad ideas floating around the population. To me that means doubling down on many of the core ideals of the American system, throwing out where we've gone wrong, and doubling down on free speech.

Ultimately all we can do is trust that the system is designed to withstand. If we don't think the system can work without breaking our own rules to "do the right thing" then what are we really doing? As long as people can speak their minds and hash out disagreements in public we're all better off. When ideas that may end up being dangerous are forced to stay behind closed doors we really have a problem.
> Encouraging innovation and hard work is one of the primary justifications given for capitalism.

Yep. And it's very important that the folks managing our generally-capitalist economy to force businesses to act against their own self-interests and engage in innovation and hard work, rather than milking cash cows for perpetuity. [0]

> Society's operation is often based on the assumption that things will be priced perfectly.

Did you mean to say "priced imperfectly"? If so, then I agree. The same goes for enforcement of laws, actually... which is why largely-unrestricted superhuman surveillance and information correlation powers are such a threat.

> The rich hurting the poor in order to become even more rich is considered immoral in almost all philosophies.

You don't even have to get questions of morality involved.

1) Soaking people for every penny they have means that folks don't have money to buy anything else, which makes it dreadful hard for anything new to enter "the market", because with what money would anyone purchase it? (Not to mention, how the hell can you handle emergency expenses if everyone else is soaking you for all of your money?)

2) People who don't have money for some luxuries are unhappy people. People who don't have money for emergency expenses are very unhappy people. If you have enough people unhappy for long enough, they're going to behave drastically. Maybe they're going to drop out of your system. Maybe they're going to forcefully upend your system.

[0] To be clear, there are products out there that are high quality and need no improvement. It's fine for a company to sell the same solid product or service at a reasonable price from now until the end of time. That's -IMO- the ideal situation for a company to be in. What's NOT fine is if that company prevents other companies from selling similar (or functionally identical) products/services, OR if that company suddenly decides that they need to massively increase the price, decrease the quality (or both) of the product/service.
you seem to be saying that they are using two separate kernels, one for the bootloader and one for the final boot target

the title text says 'Loaded by the EFI stub on UEFI, and packed into a unified kernel image (UKI), the kernel, initramfs, and kernel command line, contain everything they need to reach the final boot target' which sounds like they're not talking about using two separate kernels, one for the bootloader and one for the final boot target, but rather only one single kernel. possibly that is not the case because the actual information is hidden in a video i haven't watched

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40909165 seems to confirm that they are indeed not saying what you thought

edit: they're proposing both configurations
There are plenty of unrelated factoids thrown here in attempt to answer, but the real reason is that DIY, software, engineering, scientific communities in most of former USSR countries have been depending on freely downloaded (or $3 CD compilations) stuff because few people could afford as an example even a legal installation of Windows for a long time. Even if economic difference is not as wide as it used to be, cost of many books, subscriptions, and software tools looks prohibitively high there still. It just became so commonly accepted, and up until very recent times weren't really prosecuted, so a kind of culture emerged where any attempt to uproot this practice feels like an attack against natural rights.

Here is a demo (https://tweetguess.flawn.eu/) to one of my last personal indie projects which I am working on to release - I love developing mobile apps with love to the detail!

I am open to doing to be honest everything, I have worked with a lot of stuff over the last few years and I love challenges & complex problems as well as learning new stuff!
I don’t know much about how the CCP operates, but China is not a democracy. They don’t have elections in China. San Francisco has elections with numerous candidates.
Yeah, that sounds like a wild shift! In my teens I used to be nocturnal and loved the quiet. Nocturnal living definitely takes its toll though. The body needs sunlight. I hope you're able to find a pattern that works well for you! Maybe you can become a 4am–7pm person and get the best of both.
Business in physical property/goods also requires the government to hold others back with a barrel of a gun.

Tangential but coding in JS/TS, I often will go for object arguments to make things more readable. If you have a function like:

foo(arg1: boolean, arg2: boolean, arg3: boolean)

Then when you call it it will look like foo(true, false, true) which is not great for readability. Instead I move all the arguments into an object which makes each field explicit. Ie.

foo({ arg1: true, arg2: false, arg3: true })

This also carries the advantage that you can quickly add/remove arguments without going through an arduous refactor.
I’d rather copy the whole thing down by hand, than rely on a bullshit generator for my access to knowledge.
If one outlawed / disincentivized hostile the bot behavior you described, there would still be the opportunity to do the good and profitable things I described.
Lots of technician roles can be filled by software people. In fact I even recommend it for at least a part of your career, get your grubby hands on as many physical devices as you can at least once in your life.
Friends of Mozilla certainly control Rust, and it is not outside the realm of possibility for Rust to switch to an awful license. It may be a bit much to suppose that Rust devs would sabotage Ladybird but certainly there is a potential conflict of interest that should be looked at.

>At this point, Ladybird has no competitors because it is not much more than a hobby project. It isn't usable yet.

Whether or not it is usable is a temporary technical issue. It absolutely is a contender for mindshare. Lots of people want a browser that isn't controlled by a nefarious advertising megacorp, and Firefox is about the only game in town. That is hopefully going to change.

It's the frame rate. People are accustomed to seeing video at ~30fps. But old soap operas were somehow at ~60fps, among other things. I think this motion interpolation thing looks significantly worse than the old soap operas, because the interpolated frames break down when there's too much movement, which is exactly when they could have the most value, if you believed they had any value proposition at all.
What the VW-Rivian Deal Means for Big Auto
Ask HN: Hire freelancer devs, or a dev shop?
I have been a cofounder in the past in a different industry (Business-to-government, EU), with an experienced CTO, we raised 250K but failed to raise more due the nature of our business so we closed shop.

Now, I have been working on this idea for a few months on validation and on technical feasibility and decided to go for it. Its not very complicated to pull off tech-wise, and I found some open source projects that could be of help, but ultimately I would need a team of people to build it.

I obviously need a CTO and I have asked a few friends and acquaintances but at the moment theyre busy doing their own things, and its too early for them because I dont have much to show for at the moment. They have told me to validate the idea first by signing up potential customers and then come back.

So going forward, I can invest around $50K for an MVP, and the initial launch. I can start talking to customers, but I need a team of freelancers to build the MVP.

My question is, how and where do you find effective and affordable freelancers? How do you go about it without getting burned? Do you go to a dev shop, or make a team of individual ones?
With GPT4/o there is a trick for math problems. You can ask it to write the python code. This solves for example famous problem of counting letters in string. Sure model can be trained to use python under the hood without being explicitly asked. Pretty sure it can be trained to interpret code/algorithm step by step printing out intermediate results. Important in loops. Generating algorithm is easier for known problems, they learn it from github already. So, it looks like it's not that difficult to make model better/good at math.
For the music listening use case, if you can get your hands on a CD and rip it to FLAC that's the way to go.

When the CD format first took hold in the early/mid 80's, it was common for the record labels to push out CD's that were just straight digital transfers of the original analog mastering that was used to create the vinyl LP.

Now we're here 40 years later, and you can still find those CD's on Ebay and rip them using a program like foobar2000, and the result is basically flawless for all the common playback use cases (I'm not here to make the audiophile argument).

I'm also impressed that the 80's and 90's era CD's are not going bad on me. Boomers and Gen-X-ers will always have that box full of treasured CD's, and not a single one of them has failed on me so far.
Sounds great. Won't be going to any ticketmaster events ever, and you shouldn't either.
I don't think crypto wpuld help in this instance, they'd still have to turn it into fiat to do anything with it.
Yeah, he gets that way sometimes.

Yes, these systems are getting more popular recently, I believe they are typically being run by large ticket broker platforms.

I don't know about the specific site you mentioned, however the large broker platform Automatiq runs a number of domains like this, where they effectively proxy the original ticket token, recreate it with TOTP just as in this article, and display it to any user who has the right link in a similar format to how TM displays it. They advertise this service as "Transferless Delivery" to their ticket reseller customers. The main Automatiq one is called "secure.tickets".

It reduces work for sellers, because they never even have to transfer the tickets out of their Ticketmaster account anymore. Of course, it's horrible for buyers because they have no idea whether the random website link they were sent is actually going to serve them a barcode corresponding to a real ticket or not, or whether the site will be up, and they have no rights to the ticket as far as the primary ticket issuer (TM) is concerned, buyers don't even know the name on their own tickets.

Seatgeek and StubHub seem to be aware of these systems because of how closely they work with ticket brokers, and just coach customers to accept them if they are from any of the domains known to them. See https://support.seatgeek.com/hc/en-us/articles/2074030716443... the Automatiq site is called out specifically on that page.
From my hearsay, you absolutely can, given two things: fewer pointer-chasing data structures, and, most crucially, fewer or no allocations. Pre-allocate arrays of things you need, run ring buffers on them if you have to use a varying number of things.

A fun but practical approach which I again heard (second-hand) to be used, is just drowning your code in physical RAM, and switch the GC completely off. Have enough RAM to run a trading day, then reboot. The cost is trivial, compared to spending engineering hours on different approaches.
All protest that involves people who wish not to be involved is fundamentally immoral.

AMD have a greater incentive than ever to get their act together. I have faith Lisa Su will pull it off.
Keyword arguments or named parameters solve this. In JS I tend to pass a single object to a function with a large number of parameters like this. But I do agree using named entities like enums or constants is also good. A bit heavier but if you do it everywhere the cost is worth it.
A devoted fan will have no issue to wake up a 6am and try to buy a ticket. They'll have more chance to get one if they don't have to compete with scalpers. Half the tickets could be sold as first arrived, first served, and half as a lottery system. The ratio might be adjusted.

If we agree that scalpers are a problem, we can make it illegal to resell ticket over the original price. Enforcement is always a problem, so to help with that it could be required to have an ID matching the ticket name and resell can only be performed on official platform.

To grantee having a ticket with this system, a wealthy or connected devoted fan can have private arrangement with the artist manager or event organizer to get tickets.
