I wrote something similar in 2021 [0].

Lots of great opinion in the original piece. It's hard to pick just one piece of advice to amplify, but if you made me pick just one, it is that the risks are asymmetrical for each co-founder. The tech work is front-loaded because it is difficult to sell before something is built. I know at least one tech friend who slaved over a product that the other co-founders couldn't (or wouldn't) sell after it was built.

How can you avoid this as a non-tech co-founder? There's lots you can do to prove out the market:

* talk to potential customers

* build a no-code solution that solves part of the problem

* take people's money for a pre-sale

Yes, this is work, but so is the rest of a startup. De-risk the tech co-founder's role and you'll have a lot more success.

Things like web scrapers and lots of nodejs bits get caught out by the Vercel limits (like mb of RAM) don't they though? Or is that a thing of the past now?

I say this because, I develop moderately complex applications. We just always end up with some level of server side functionality, and even though Next.js is beautiful, the prevalence of these issues lead up to us self hosting. We do incur occasional issues scaling up, but so far, and despite intense applications with 5 figures of users, had had no issues with single/dual instance set ups. Any running a dockerized next.js application with auto restart is very easy for us.

I emphasize a lot with you - I too hate dev ops. But I suppose that comes from once spending 10 days migrating a service from VPS to AWS (back in the 10s mind - it would be easier now due to the standardization of environments)

But as to next.js features which can be caught out by the vercel resource limits - Do you not encounter those limitations, or do you work around them?
Yea, the world of the actual-rich is like Elysium, but (for now) without outer space as the physical separation. They live in an entirely different world, fully detached from our reality. They don't need to care about "a functional society" because they make their own society and very rarely have to land on planet Earth and interact with our dysfunctional one.

I agree that the comparison between langchain/llamaindex is probably the better one.

With that being said, txtai has a much more in-depth approach with how it builds it's data stores vs just assuming the underlying systems will handle everything. It supports running SQL statements and integrates the components in a way other RAG systems don't. It was also a vector store before it had a RAG workflow. There are years of code behind that part.

When teaching, to make it clear that an "Unpin" item is unaffected by "Pin," I’d suggest analogies from real life where objects remain unaffected despite the use of something designed to hold them in place:

1. Velcro hooks do not stick to smooth surfaces: Pin -> Velcro, Unpin -> Smooth

2. Magnets do not affect non-magnetic materials: Pin -> Magnet, Unpin -> NonMagnetic/Glass/Brass

3. Glue does not adhere to non-stick surfaces: Pin -> Glue, Unpin -> NonStick

This way, it becomes clear that a "Velcro" fixes an item in place, and if an item is "Smooth," it is unaffected by the "Velcro" mechanism.

Given Rust’s ecosystem naming themes it would have been beautiful to rename the trait to something something magnet and non-magnetic :’)
The author's AI companion is not a stand-in for a human with her own human limitations, flaws, and personal needs; the companion is a stand-in for a slave, a creature who exists only for the master's benefit. I fear the day that humanity considers such a one-way relationship in any way similar to a loving relationship among equals.

To add: the problem with the BUSL was that every variation of the BUSL was effectively its own license. The FSL reins that in so that a company's legal department could approve FSL full-scale, allowing all FSL projects to be used. The same full-scale approval could never happen for the BUSL due to the variances.

What's New on CPAN: June 2024
I have a suspicion that hacker news down ranks articles like this. Its dangerous for their business model. And nothing could be more true than:

"The business cofounder essentially gets more leverage the more work the technical cofounder does -- because now there is sunk-cost and a psychological shackle. The technical cofounder just wants to be done with the build-out so the business can proceed and make money -- but the business cofounder has every incentive to expand the MVP more and more since they are putting in no effort (possibly have not quit their job either) and wants more and more before the system can be sold."

Its a very good deal for non technical cofounders! And usually they end up running more of the business than the tech guy. The tech guy is stuck in front of a computer banging out code. The non technical cofounder is out wining and dining customers, doing "partnerships", etc. They become the face of the business. Which does matter, and it takes a psychological toll on you, watching them essentially take your hard work, and use it.
The Linux audio stack demystified
Wrote this blog article as I needed to get a better understanding of the audio stack on Linux (esp. PipeWire, PulseAudio, ALSA, etc. ...). The article turned out to be a lenghty in-depth explanation of how audio works, how digital audio works, and what sound servers on linux actually do. Tried to write it in a way so it is accessible and understandable for beginners but also enlightening for experienced users. Hope it's helpful to HN
Just guessing here, because my pronunciation is the same as yours...

Dai = Day

Die = Die

If you make an "ay" sound, then transition to an "i" sound, you can feel that the sounds are continuous. So maybe that inbetween sound OP is talking about literally the sound you make with your tongue between "ay" and "i".
Yes, that would be slick. Then in that mode return would toggle between active and done.

Having a command to archive all done tasks would make it easy to remove the clutter.

> And the next sentence says "On the other hand, this is a $619 list price CPU"...

You are misquoting. The next sentence does not say such.

The quote is "At the end of the day, if you are looking for a P-core enabled high-performance mini server or workstation, the Minisforum MS-01 is probably the best out there right now.". After that comes a new part of the article, concerning Where to Buy.

What you quote is mentioned in the article, but taken out of context by you. The full quote however is:

> The Minisforum MS-01 is a really awesome machine. Let us simply say that first. It is hard to make a system that pleases everyone. For one, I might want more RAM capacity and a lower-end CPU. On the other hand, this is a $619 list price CPU (Core i9-13900H) that comes in a system with a SSD, RAM, multiple network ports, chassis, and so forth for $829. That is a lot of extra components for $210. While I may want a lower power processor, I am not sure how much better of a value it would end up being.

In other words, it is actually a compliment. But the Core i9-13900H is the most expensive option. I didn't go for that one. Besides, I also put in my own SSD and RAM (and SFP+).

Well the unknown variable is whether like Trump he would prove to be more popular than the party he ran under after a successful Presidential election effectively taking it over so you got me there; but they were in 2016 both outsiders who came into their parties to run for President under an already successful Party-brand and made a helluva run, one more successfully than the other.

Either way, neither of them should have gotten as far as they did.

On the contrary, this is a pipeline problem. If you get to the root of the problem by avoiding unwanted children, the effort to paper over the suffering in the future is never needed. Society ain't changing on any meaningful timeline (based on all available evidence), "the purpose of the system is what it does," so attack the root cause in earnest.

It is a choice to not actively solve for the suffering, so find an inexpensive point of leverage to attempt to solve for it. Folks seeking this healthcare are being marginalized by the system at great cost realized as externalities, and therefore require empowerment (with strong positive second order effects). Like vaccinations, prevention is far cheaper than the alternatives.

Tangentially, it's kind of wild to think that the global population boom, billions of people, over the last ~100 years was because of women not being empowered [1], broadly speaking. Because as soon as women are empowered [2], educated, and have robust access to contraceptives, boom, fertility rate plummets off a cliff. Turns out, society (economic pyramid schemes leading to pearl clutching about rapidly declining populations) and men [3] [4] want more children than women do. Ergo, we must empower the human, because all available evidence demonstrates the system is built and operated to subjugate rather than empower (from a first principles systems analysis).

It feels like the strength and type of withdrawal symptoms for each substance plays a big role here.

I've only ever been addicted to caffeine and cigarettes and while my withdrawal symptoms were terrible (almost-disabling headaches, anxiety, etc) I don't think they were ever so bad that it would make me violent.

As opposed to people I knew that were addicted to cocaine and meth which would go absolutely crazy for their next fix. In the particular case of the person that was addicted to cocaine, money was not an issue and would still become violent when the fix was not available, so I don't think it's necessarily a function of price or access to it.

Of course, my sample size is very small but given that I also know a ton of people that quit cigarettes and caffeine without becoming violent, I would say withdrawal symptoms are probably a strong component on how violent people get.

"I might be biased but most cofounders who want to bootstrap was because they were afraid to do actual work. Raising funding requires hard rejections which they want to avoid as much as possible."

This. I worked with a guy who tried to raise money, couldn't take all the rejections, never prepared for any of his meetings (didn't remember the names of people he met), and didn't understand the market he was operating in or what his product should or would do. After that "failed", he "pivoted" (his words) to "bootstrapping" which actually meant just not paying people. In his words, we would be paid when the product had sales.

After people stopped showing up for work, he shifted the blame to the economy and "investor headwinds". Then he "pivoted" again to "crowdfunding". "Move fast and break stuff" he'd say when he would visit me a few times a week in the office.

Eventually, at one of his visits he found that I wasn't there anymore either. This was followed by threatening phone calls and emails from his laywer/father.

This guy had a big career at Fortune 500 and 100 companies and big tech before trying to start his own company. Guess the same skills that make one successful in corporate america don't translate into starting a real business.

> Fighting the ebpf validator is a bit like fighting Rust's borrow checker

I think this undersells how annoying it is. There's a bit of an impedance mismatch. Typically you write code in C and compile it with clang to eBPF bytecode, which is then checked by the kernel's eBPF verifier. But in some cases clang is smart enough to optimize away bounds checks, but the eBPF verifier isn't smart enough to realize the bound checks aren't needed. This requires manual hacking to trick clang into not optimizing things in a way that will confuse the verifier, and sometimes you just can't get the C code to work and need to write things in eBPF bytecode by hand using inline assembly. All of these problems are massively compounded if you need to support several different kernel versions. At least with the Rust borrow checker there is a clearly defined set of rules you can follow.

Well, eza certainly seems faster on my micro-benchmark as well, though in general I never have any performance issues with these tools. Btw, ls beats them both easily (in my single-directory test).

So features would be my main criteria, I guess. At least eza doesn't have that annoying bug I linked :).

Short comparison:
- Eza doesn't have the lsd's piping bug
- Eza has more different output from ls than I would like (by default)
- Both have git support
- Eza --hyperlink doesn't have "auto" mode so if I alias ls to it, ls | sed hacks will likely behave unexpectedly if I enable it: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/703 and this also seems like an instance of it: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/693
- Eza is slower to write than lsd :)
- Eza has more options to change its behaviour than lsd

Overall I think the hyperlink issue is more severe than lsd's piping one, so I think I'll just keep using lsd for the time being.
No it's not. We're offering additional choices to the immigrants, all the moral blame lies on the people who are persecuting the immigrants so much that they are forced to flee.

> But stremio users are only active on a given Torrent while watching its content. Meaning that they contribute nothing back to the network. If everyone (or a large enough percentage of users) would act like this the whole (public) BitTorrent Network would no longer work.

I am not convinced. They contribute while watching, which is more than nothing by any metrics I can imagine. Depending on the situation, I can totally imagine that they distribute the file 10 times while they watch it.
The most common mistake I see is putting data fetching in the view layer.

React hooks caused this because by default there’s no sensible place to fetch data.

So unless you know ahead of time, any complex single page ends up with complex and hard to track network requests.

The solution is really simple: pull data out of the view layer and make it a first class citizen.

> the output would always be displayed with (presumably) readable colors

There are several obstacles that make this not the case in practice, unfortunately. Black on white and white on black (whatever hex colors those actually are) will look fine. But different applications will use the accent colors differently. For example, some might use black text on a colored background, and others may use colored text on a black background. Some tools even use “bright” colored text on a different colored background. This is masked in most cases by iTerm2’s “Minimum contrast” setting, but when I tried to design a color palette with good contrast with that setting off, I found it to be very difficult.
