In practice performance problems are a nonissue. Your API should consist of start time and duration because that is how people think about appointments and meetings. (An hour long meeting starting at noon) It's a pain to write a UI that updates two pieces of information when one piece of information changes. If you are truly worried about query performance you can denormalize the data before saving by storing start/end times as a datetime range field, but it still makes no sense to expose that in your API.
This is how I played chess when I was a kid. Scan for all the possible next moves, all replies, do some pruning, repeat etc. I think my max depth was probably around 12 moves into the future or so.

But now, thinking about it as an adult and it terms of AI, why are we using our conscious mind to calculate when we have a whole brain in place to do the work for us? You instead want to train your brain to recognize positions, opportunities and let it empirically calculate for you in the background.

Looking at how chess masters play they seem to employ both these.

I still believe that device manufacturers should be forced to reveal any keys / similar to load 3rd party firmware onto devices like this, if/when the devices go out of support or deviate in pricing from when sold (viz: Ring Doorbells adding subscriptions).

Sure, the vendor lock does allow them to sell the device at a lower cost, but you pay for it later.
But “red” states have been making reproductive healthcare harder and harder to access during the study period. One hypothesis to test is whether there are increases in mortality in such states after controlling for factors outside of access to reproductive healthcare. This will likely be hard to tease out because health outcomes tend to be worse in general in such states.

This reminds me of a story that I heard from a tree surgeon. A customer complained about the cost of removing a tree as it was "unskilled" labour, and he asked them if they knew how to remove a 30-metre high tree without it falling on his house or car, or if he even owned the right tools, or if he was able and willing to climb up to the top of that tree and remove branches.

Probably there is a limited market for it, but at the same time you wouldn't need to do much to support it in most of the major console-based clients.

Back in the day I wrote a modal console-based mail reader, which was much more flexible than the alternatives at the time (mutt, pine, etc).

I wrote the core in C++ and used Lua for the UI and all scripting stuff. The user-interface, processing filtering, hooks, etc, were all based on lua and it was pretty good, and extremely quick to use if you had it setup like you wanted.

But to go back to the topic a lot of the console clients, such as mutt, use "mailcap" files. They allow you to filter the content of messages based on mime-types. So adding the ability to read/send markdown would be trivial.

text/markdown could be piped through a markdown to HTML converter, or displayed raw. Similarly you could add a text/markdown header to outgoing mail and just write .. markdown .. in your editor.

But most people wouldn't care, because most people don't even use console based mail clients any more. I gave up myself after having a virtual machine and reading mail over SSH for 20ish years. Nowadays? I pay for google workspace for myself, my virtual machine is long-since dead and I don't self-host anything myself in the cloud, just in my house where I have a NAS, backups, and stuff.

> But there is the cold reality...

THIS. Plus, so far, it's looking like both the dollar cost and total carbon footprint of a pound of cultured beef are far higher than what is easily accomplished with sustainable old-fashioned cattle farming.

And if the real (vs. VC-subsidized-'till-bankrupt) costs of cultured meat stay extremely high - then it's just another ultra-luxury good for the 0.01%. With an added dose of "reassure yourself that the 99% are moral degenerates, who deserve whatever you do to them".
Exactly. The difference here is that std::variant doesn’t “name” the options, you just get the type (and an index, so variant can contain duplicate types). So you have to have some marker type that’s like “this contains nothing”.

Fundamentally, Rust’s enums are a much better way of doing this thing compared to std::variant, but C++ did the best it could without changing the core language. Which arguably they should have done.
>but basically WWII but with small nukes and regional missile defense systems playing a huge role

So a total war scenario, but with multi megaton nuclear weapons? That sounds civilization ending to me.

“There was a strong wind that night and as I came out of the shelter, all I could see around us was fire…burning clothing, 'tatami' mats, and debris were blowing down the road and it looked like a flowing river of fire… I remember seeing other families, like us, holding hands and running through the fires…I saw a baby on fire on a mother's back. I saw children on fire, but they were still running. I saw people catch fire when they fell onto the road because it was so hot.” [1] This isn’t an account of the atomic bombs. This is the firebombing of Tokyo, which killed more people and destroyed more homes than either atomic bombs. The US was firebombing Japanese cities week after week, leveling over 60 Japanese cities and killing between 330,000 and 900,000 people (though we will never know for sure because the very records needed were obliterated in the conflagrations). WWII destruction was limited completely by the technology of the time. Total war means total war.

As always, it depends.

E.g. you don't want to refuse to open a document just because ten pages in there is a footnote that is somehow malformed.

Depending on the possible consequences, GIGO is much better for usability. Ideally you'd warn the user that something unexpected has occured and he should manually check the result but whenever you are handling external data where malformed input cannot be avoided then erroring early will only make your software less useful to the user who more often than not cannot do anything about the error but can manually correct the fallback if you got it wrong.

> First gen Ryzen was kinda mediocre.

I've used both the Ryzen 3 1200 and 7 1700 and all of them seemed fine for their time and price.

Honestly, I had the 1700 in my main PC up until last year, it was still very much okay for most things I might want to actually do, except no ReBAR support pushed me towards a Ryzen 5 4500 (got it for a low price, otherwise slightly better than the 1700 in performance, still good for my needs; runs noticeably hotter though, even without a big OC).

I guess things are quite different for enthusiasts and power users, but their needs probably don't affect what would be considered bad/mediocre/good for the general population.

Apple takes on Meta with new open-source AI model
I'm looking for a way to run a simple motion detector (as in physical motion using a gryoscope device) and have this notify me somehow that motion has occured. The bit I get stuck on is how to enable connectivity so it can notify me from a remote position with no access to wifi or wired network.

I would love for this thing to consume minimal power too, so I only have to recharge the battery once per week (for example, this might not be possible, or maybe something much better is possible, i have no idea)

The most convenient option I can think of is a cheap smartphone with 3g/4g data connection that can somehow integrate with the motion sensor and enables me to write some code to send a message.

There must be something better suited to this though. Thoughts welcome.

Animals are part of this thing called the cycle of life that has been going on since near the beginning of the earth and will go on long after humanity has faded to dust. Being eaten is normal, it's part of how ecosystems are regulated, and everything dies anyhow so why not be a meal on the way out so that something else can live.

> If you "added" two maps together of types `Map<String, int>` and `Map<String, String>`, you would get back a `Map<String, String | int>` (or, equivalently, `Map<String, String> | Map<String, int>`).

But these are obviously not equivalent: the first type is a map where all values are either strings or ints, and the second one is either a map where all values are strings, or all values are ints.

If that's confusing, consider: {foo: 1, bar: "2"}. It satisfies `Map<String, String | int>` but not `Map<String, String> | Map<String, int>`.

(In fact, the latter is a subtype of the former.)

P.S. You also seem to have misunderstood the toplevel comment about modeling record types as maps, as being about typing maps that exist in the language.

I'm not convinced lab grown meat will ever be economical because real meat is subsidized, but not in the way you think (ie government subsidies).

If you think about the Earth, it receives a large amount of solar energy. While it makes the world habitable it does a lot of other things. A big one is that the Earth stores this energy in various ways. Plants are an example of this. Photosynthesizing plants, in particular, convert solar energy into sugars.

Animals come along and eat those plants and convert the plant's stored energy into protein. You can think of the plant and animal kingdom as just a massive funnel that converts solar energy into the smallest organisms that successively collects into the largest animals and plants.

Traditionally, we would eat wild animals that were essentially "free". So if you have to create that much proetein and energy from scratch in a lab, you're suddenly paying for all the steps leading up to that that being a grown animal. Obviously we have farm-raised cows that do require inputs but they're still largely eating grown feed.

It's oddly similar to creating people to work. If you had to pay for and build a person it would be incredibly expensive and time-consuming. Like imagine if Amazon had to "farm" people to work in their warehouses. They'd be spending millions of dollars for one person and it would take 18+ years. It just wouldn't be economical or make any sense.

Butinstead we create new humans all by ourselves, pay for their eduction (either directly or indirectly), pay for their food and shelter and so on. So by the time that person becomes an adult, Amazon can pay them $15/hour to work in their warehouse.

So while we create new humans for reasons of our own, from the perspective of a company who really only views you as a labor unit to create value for them, we're "subsidizing' the creation of those new labor units.

That means it's really difficult for an AI/ML system or a robot to compete with a human because that human is "subsidized". Obviously automation happens but, so far at least, it's only really for the most menial of tasks.

You can buy a calf for like $100-500 IIRC. Put it in on some land with somne grass and fresh water and in a small number of years, it'll be a cow that will produce hundres of pounds of meat. It's taken a lot of energy to get there but most of that energy is free.

Lab-grown meat will have to pay that energy cost. That's why I think it'll have a difficult time competing.

all that i wanted to say, only better.

i am a zero-to-one guy and i get that this kind of positioning is often forward-looking, but i think that's what early-stage founders get wrong, especially if they aren't core whatever-noun they are anchoring to.

if you consider all other incumbents in this space, they are all AI-driven. your differentiator could be AI only if you are core AI and have drawn up models for project or work management use cases. otherwise, just stick to whatever your differentiators are in the near-term and change positioning later when you are core AI.

Taskade did this well. Notion is doing it well. they are all pivoting around AI without trading off whatever's their core.
> Having blind-spots is life's greatest luxury. Pure psychological comfort.

There is nothing more wrong than this statement. There are way bigger things in life than comfort. And having blind spots will make you lose all your "riches" in one way or another. Aren't there enough stories of rich people going down with drugs, bad management, family issues etc?

Rich people have a huge psychological discomfort because they need to worry about staying rich 24/7. In that state they can't reach even a piece of mind, forget about states of bliss and beyond. Their only comfort is thinking they are better than others, that is a comfort of a fool and life will make sure one will pay for it.
I disagree.

Applications want to receive/provide a stream (X sample-rate, Y sample format, Z channels) and have it routed to the right destination, that probably is not configured with the same parameters. Having all applications responsible for handling this conversion is not doable. Having the kernel handle this conversion is not a good idea. The routing decision-making needs to be implemented somewhere as well. Let's not ignore the complexity involved in format negotiation as well.

The scenario of a DAW (pro-audio usage) is too specific to generalise from that. That is the only kind of software that really cares about codec configuration, latencies and picking its own routing (or rather to let the user pick routing from the DAW GUI).

> Where do you think the nutrients for cultivated meat are going to come from? Where do you think the byproducts are going to go?

> Sustainably raised meat is the most environmentally friendly way to feed people.

Not even today.

Right now, a lot of livestock is a middle-man between plants and us, and we could feed more people for less money just by eating a fraction of the crops that are used to feed the animals.

Meat is a preference, widely chosen as people get richer, it's not a "best option" in terms of health or economics.

Show HN: Shade – A desktop app for local AWS development
Hi HN,

I’m a solo developer who has been developing serverless applications using AWS for a few years now and I always found working locally with them to be tedious.

So I have created a desktop application (Electron, yes I know!) that provides some much needed UX to the existing local AWS experience.

Its built with LocalStack in mind which provides an existing mock implementation of many AWS services on a local machine. Shade just calls the AWS SDK and provides a UI in front of it.

The main goal is to reduce the friction of deploying and setting up the main components of AWS serverless locally, and to just get started tinkering with them right away.

I hope some people will find it as useful as I have, and any feedback is greatly appreciated.
