I went to popeyes a few weeks ago and it was overpriced as all hell. $62 before tax for a 16 piece with 2 sides.

I have a difficult time understanding how they can have the audacity to charge that much. We got something else instead. IDK who is dropping nearly $70 on an order of chicken for 1 meal.
There most definitely is a reason to edit titles: to reduce clickbait or shorten titles.

The system even automatically removes certain clickbait elements, for instance "How" is stripped out of submitted titles.
> But Windows native app development - that seems like it belongs to a bygone era. Now even Microsoft develops own apps target Electron, not Windows.

I indeed have the impression that some industries (e.g. banking, insurance, development of engineering tools (e.g. CAD applications), PC gaming, ...; observe that at least banking and insurance are two financially quite powerful industries) have a lot more love for the "Microsoft ecosystem" (Windows; in banking and insurance also Microsoft Office) than Microsoft actually does. Thus, in these industries Windows (and Microsoft Office) is used and Windows software is developed despite Microsoft's actions and stance.

Why is #3 obvious? How can agents know all of reality? May be a subset?
Informal "meetings" became impossible and got replaced by formalized meetings. What could be resolved with a quick look over the table to the two other devs I need to talk with, and everyone else on the team was nearby and could hear or join the discussion, now must be a formal calendar invite because otherwise we built an information silo.

I had an example of that just this Friday (but really every day). A peer review got so complex that chat wasn't nearly enough, the PR comments were getting repetitive, and it resulted into 3 full draining hours of calls full of misunderstanding, stuck shared screens, "please can you zoom your editor I have a much smaller screen than you", etc. We used to solve issues like that with a quick look on the display next to us, maybe 20 minutes of on and off discussion while doing other things, few more quick looks and it was done. Same team, same people, less senior than now (before covid).

I love the flexibility but hate everything else about remote work.
None of those actually reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, and the amount of emissions to produce them are substantial.
SP500 had not returned 10% a year historically. And really would want to look at returns above the cash rate.

And the SP500 has had unusually good performance relative to other equity indexes. Would not count on that forever.
It would have been more funny if the reason was not disclosed at the end.
A cpu emulator will only get to 15-20% with a lot of tricks. Usually a cpu interpreter would get like 5%. It’s not like Numpy, where you can increase performance by trying to offload as much execution as possible into native code. When emulating cpu instructions, the atomic instructions are tiny. But as I said, python is a poor comparison because the interpreter is very slow and there is a lot of overhead.

I really appreciate your thoughts.

Question: When you say "best/fastest signal" and "prove that your product is something people are willing to pay for", are you speaking of proving to myself, like a bootstrapped small business? Or of proving to prospective investors?

Regarding the paid&free model, just thinking aloud... I suspect that the browser vendors are going to push me to use their extension store, so maybe I have to put the paid features as data/behavior on a server that the extension talks to. Or to send a paying customer an unlock code that flips a trivially-crackable switch in the free extension, but which at least helps keep honest users honest.

I personally actively listen to shorter-form content.
I have already listened to around 30 of Paul Graham's essays and the "Shape Up" mini-book from Basecamp (both are free on listenly.io/public-library).

Jason Cohen's blog posts and TechCrunch "Startup Weekly" newsletter are also great to listen to.

In terms of books, I'm not as active. But actually, I like Churchill's books much better with this AI narration than any that I've found on Audible. It looks like they're trying to narrate Churchill's books as if Churchill would, and it's not a good thing.

I think it's already very good in terms of sound quality. If not for fiction, then for professional literature, it's just great.

Some people have already purchased some books, finding them through Google (it is indexing all the pages right now, but it is taking some time, as there are 100,000+ pages for all the books, authors, and subjects).
You're ignoring that HTTPS took decades to be default thanks to massive work of a lot of security engineers who UNDERSTOOD that work and process around certificates was too onerous and hard for users. It took them literally decades of work to get HTTPS cert issuance to such a low cost process that everyone does it.
It *really* cannot be understated how much important work that was.

Meanwhile, other security zealots were just happy to scream at users for not sending 20 forms and thousands of dollars to cert authorities.

Usability matters - and the author of this original rant seems to be one of those security people who don't understand why the systems they're guarding are useful, used and how are they used. That's the core security cancer still in the wild - security experts not understanding just how transparent the security has to be and that it's sometimes ok to have a less secure system if that means users won't do something worse.
Knowing where you are in the file browser window is still in your head, it’s just because you’ve clicked from the desktop to the folder to the sub-folder that you’re aware of the current context… sure, it might be configured to display the cwd in a status line or title bar or what have you, but so does a well configured CLI. And sure, a CLI app can just delete stuff without interaction, but so could a GUI, it’s just that one’s be kept default unsafe and the other default safe because of the expected average user… if everyone was always going to be introduced to CLI/TUI first then those default safety features would be there too. What the GUI can never do well is work with things outside the CWD, and while GUIs could be scriptable, they almost never are. I wish they were, I would love to see GUIs be as inherently capable of the social effects the post is speaking to as CLIs, with a shareable artifact of your interaction, but there seem to be incentives that keep that from happening.

Honestly I don’t see there’s any reason we don’t introduce both modes to every user. Where they want to be able to do repeatable and shareable they should have that option, and where they want to click around they should have that… but until GUI frameworks are scriptable by default, with some embedded scripting language (don’t care which) that’s ubiquitously present in every window even if the writer of the app knows nothing about it, then we should be empowering users by showing them the things CLIs are inherently better at.

My guess is the work necessary to make CLIs more ergonomic is smaller than the work needed to make GUIs more scriptable, but I could be wrong.
Show HN: I made a site with business book summaries
There are many business books, and generally I've found them to be pretty padded, so I made a site with high-quality summaries. I use it both to skim a book before I read it, and as a reference while I'm reading it.
Great project.

Pricing: maybe try a mobile app with monthly subscription? Something for recurring revenue.

Features: can you generate at 1.5x speed? Might be more natural than the playback speed up options and be a nice differentiator.

Ah, nice! I've been doing something similar to convert web novels --> epub --> mp3/m4b --> sorta a graphic novel --> sorta a video / slide show

ElevenLabs has so many great voice models but is super expensive. I want to experiment with some oss voice models and even train my own but not sure on a great starting point with that. Play.ht has some good voices, too.

Seeing some of the results here with the openai tts I will probably switch at least the narrator to use one of these to save some money.
There is a similar but different product (without the downside protection).

A fund manager can replicate the index with derivatives and overlay their alpha on top of it.

Google “alpha overlay” or “portable alpha” for more info.

These types of products were more popular about 10-15 years ago.

Firms typically charge just for the alpha for these strategies.

You are asking for the manager to sell you an option.
> It interferes with the HIV capsid, a protein shell that protects HIV’s genetic material and enzymes needed for replication.

Do I understand correctly that this means an individual HIV virus cannot replicate in the presence of the drug? I assume there must be more to it because otherwise this would be a cure?
I don't think there is any misunderstanding. The issues are with local distribution, not generation or transmission. So it's simply a matter of prioritizing the restoration of distribution circuits which serve hospitals, seniors, etc. They don't need to have separate circuits and separate power plants that exclusively serve those loads in order for them to be prioritized.
I definitely support your goal: take all the public domain e-books and create audio versions for them. I think the "on-demand" approach is kinda brilliant. Once a book is requested, how long does it take to generate the audio file? Does it happen in one shot?

I sadly found an AI audio project I don't support: This person was instead summarizing popular books into 10 minutes of audio. Basically trying to SEO better than the author and I know the authors aren't compensated. That just left me feeling sad. (I know book summaries for busy people have been a thing for a while, but this just all felt so opportunistic.)

As I search podcasts these days, I'm finding more and more of these low-effort, "doesn't take more than a few minutes to set up, why not" type AI-generated spam cannons. Been hard for a while but it's about to get REALLY hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Cool but it seems you are not transparent about regenerating books?

The best books should already exist in audio and you can already show examples of the quality.

Has no one used this yet? Do you not store the generated result?

I mean it's fine to make money but you state it differently.

Nonetheless I like the project, I'm impressed with the examples and I also like the approach

If the taste is shit, I struggle to understand how this can sound good to you? You don’t care about the taste of your current alcoholic beverages?

For beer I switched to alcohol free because the taste is good (although less various). Wine, I still have not, because alcohol free wine tastes really bad.

This is an excellent list that is two decades over due, for some

> software and systems should be secure by design

That should be obvious. But nobody gets rich except by adding features, so this needs to be said over and over again

> This will never happen, so we need to utilize the find and patch technique,

Oh my giddy GAD! It is up to *us* to make this happen. Us. The find and patch technique does not work. Secure by design does work. The article had some good examples

> Most applications/systems are updated frequently, which means new vulnerabilities will be introduced.

That is only true when we are not allowed to do our jobs. When we are able to act like responsible professionals we can build secure software.

The flaw in the professional approach is how to get over the fact that features sell now, for cash, and building securely adds (a small amount of) cost for no visual benefit

I do not have a magic wand for that one. But we could look to the practices of civil engineers. Bridges do collapse, but they are not as unreliable as software

> This user-facing DSL utilizes a second, internal DSL to implement the second phase, which is an interface to a general, low-level C library. Finally, we inject type checking into our language via another DSL that supports programming in the language of type formalisms. In short, the development of the video editing language cleanly demonstrates how the Racket doctrine naturally leads to the creation of language hierarchies, analogous to the hierarchies of modules found in conventional functional languages.

This is wonderful to hear! I’m transgender, polyamorous, and on PrEP. Often trans people didn’t get to have the sex they really wanted for a long time, and after coming out there is this sense of liberation and joy along with a new found appreciation for sex. I’ve heard it said that “sex is an adult form of play” and that’s how I see it. It’s extremely fun to get together with another consenting adult and explore what feels nice together. PrEP has already been a game changer for our sense of safety and possibility. It’s always reassuring when you meet someone, find mutual interest, and then when discussing safety you find you’re both on PrEP and get regularly tested. I’ve never had this experience before as for a long time I dated in serial monogamy and had one new partner every three or four years. With an expansion of sexual partnership opportunities I’m learning so much about the myriad ways I enjoy relating to others, and finding so much fulfillment in this part of my life. These medications are truly wonderful. We owe so much to those who came before us and lived their truths despite the risks, blazed the trail for people like myself and our community today, and lost their lives or loved ones as a result. We should never forget the fight it took to gain this recognition, or the people who resisted our right to freedom along the way.

I want to say also that I recognize this trial was largely among presumably heterosexual people in an HIV stricken region, but my experience is in the gay and trans community in the USA and I wanted to share a personal story of the value these drugs have had for us. My story will no doubt attract some weird comments, but I hope we all recognize the value of consenting adults making their own choices. We all deserve to find our joy, and I suspect most of us recognize the value of sex and pleasure in some form or another. I hope my story provides some insight in to what drugs like this can mean to communities around the world. Love to all people. <3

Edit: By the way here’s some book recommendations on polyamory. You too can find this joy if you’re in the right community and you develop the skills to handle things with maturity and respect, while identifying others who have done the same work. It’s been a ten year journey for me, but it has been well worth it. Books: “More Than Two, 2nd edition” (2nd edition is in preprint but recommended over the first) “Polysecure”, “Polywise”. Good luck exploring! Oh and finding a supporting therapist made all the difference for me in this journey too. That one is harder but see the directory on the Psychology Today website and take advantage of their filters.
Love the concept and the UI looks amazing! Did you make this in SwiftUI?
Give me five minutes and I can get most of the unwashed to see that a Terminal window is not much different than a Finder window, for the tasks most of the unwashed are doing (browsing, finding, opening, maybe deleting, maybe moving). Sure, it’ll take me longer to get them up to speed on all the extra facilities the Terminal provides, but the mental model required for a Finder window and that required for a Terminal cwd aren’t a heck of a lot different, except that the latter can optionally do things outside its context.

Also training doesn’t have to be specialization… just like we do basic arithmetic and literacy and (mostly useless and often curated by people with agendas) history we could do basic directory navigation and associated operations, side by side, just to get everyone on the same page, going forward. Now suddenly everyone has access to the social value of sharing their interactions with machines.

Arguably this is what little value LLMs might actually provide, assuming we ever get to the point we can talk one into reliably performing some interaction with the OS for us, then capture that as an output we can share as well.
I’m not disputing that you have to derate conductors based on excess temperature according to NEC. I’m saying that no EVSE exists that will pull 37A. It’ll pull either 32A or 40A and needs wiring and a breaker backing it that either is 40 or 50 amp rated, respectively.

Also, Romex (NM-B) is always considered to be 60C rated, and you cannot assume 90C rated conductors (in the case of a properly rated 90C conductor like THHN) because the outlet and breaker must also be matched and capable of 90C. No 40-50A breaker I’m aware of is 90C rated. They’re typically 75C, and sometimes 60. Likewise, no NEMA 14-50 outlet I’ve ever seen is 90C rated. They’re all 75 or 60C. The crappy Leviton one mentioned in the article is 60C. That means everything is essentially treated as 60C for derating purposes besides derating factors for things like bundled conductors.

In comparison, Bryant and Hubbell outlets (the more expensive ones EV forums tend to recommend) are 75C rated, so you can usually use the 75C derating tables for everything, since breakers are THHN are typically capable of 75C. MC cable would also be 75C rated, as well.
Right now, I'm splitting all the text into 4,000-character chunks (OpenAI TTS limitation), and converting them into audio "on-demand".

When it's like 1-2 minutes before the end of the current chunk — I'm starting to generate the next one, for a seamless transition.

One chunk is taking about 30-40 seconds to generate (OpenAI API is 20-30s, Azure OpenAI API is ~40s).

I was planning to convert the whole book (just by queuing and parallelizing the requests) and concatenate it into a single MP3 (or an MP3 for each chapter), but it's not ready yet.

I respect the OP's vulnerability and the advice. I've felt like it was "time to go" before, but as a young man I just assumed it was burnout, treated it that way, and got back in the game once I had renewed desire.

Right now I feel like I'll never want to stop making things, but that if I were rich enough and good enough at creating in a different medium other than code, I completely understand the desire to walk away from the terminal and never look back. Few things have been as frustrating to me as programming. Yet since few things have been so rewarding, I persist.

It's a great article because it's making me think about my own life. I'll keep pondering. Thanks for posting it.

I've never really fit anywhere, so moving to a new country wasn't a big deal, just a change of scenery and weather. Given a chance I'd probably move even more up north where it's colder.

I do immensely appreciate the increased quality of life -- 24x7 clean water and electricity, comfortable and (almost) punctual public transport, fair wages, focus on having a life outside work; and an escape from a society which strictly adheres to traditional norms.

Thank you for buying it!

Putting the book online is one of those things that turned out to be a real non-zero-sum proposition. It draws a lot of people into the book and gives them the ability to check it out before they buy it, which has certainly increased total sales and made me more money.

But, also, for those who can't easily afford it, it ensures they still have access to it, which is good for them.

Kind of an honor system market segmentation.
And of course taxes make it better to spend less money than to earn the same amount of additional money. Beating a 10% discount for a one-year prepay means you're getting really good returns on your money, and 10% is the low end for annual discounts.
