The idea that introducing more regulations will foster the U.S. semiconductor industry doesn’t make sense. History shows that heavy regulation often stifles competition and innovation, leading to stagnation—similar to what happened in Russia’s outdated industries. Instead of imposing more rules that could entrench dominant players, the focus should be on creating an environment that encourages competition and innovation. Overregulation risks making the U.S. chip industry less competitive globally, which would undermine efforts to revitalize it.

Unless the USB-C connector costs $7-10, these are beyond ridiculously overpriced compared to the official dev board. At least throw in an IMU or something if you plan to sell low volumes at high prices jeez.
I think the hardest part is deciding which gems to use. It's not uncommon to end up with over 50 gems in your Gemfile.

For example, built-in capabilities for authentication are limited: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/50446

So then do you go with has_secure_password/etc., Devise, rodauth, authentication-zero, or something else? These are big decisions that then might affect other things like authorization, OAuth, PassKey, etc.

And that's authentication & authorization which are a relatively well-understood and maintained area, but other areas might have totally unmaintained gems that might have issues with recent versions of Rails, or native module compilation issues with more recent versions of operating systems, etc.

A lot of Rails guidance on blog posts and StackOverflow might be outdated.

This problem is not unique to Rails. I still think Rails is great and relatively vibrant. Nevertheless, I suggest being very wary of Rails guides, blog posts, and StackOverflow answers that are more than 1 year old and doing a careful study and inventory of gems before deciding to use them and reviewing their relative recent usage and activity.
Well we have a hiv prep shot already that’s every two months. I forgot the name, but yeah I think it’s very expensive
I'm not talking about Tab Containers. I don't need to segregate sessions/accounts or such.

Tab Groups is a way to be able to swap sets of tabs within a window. I can have groups for each of projects A, B, and C. Each project group can have a couple dozen tabs. When I switch groups, I only see the tabs for that group. I alternate among several projects each day and need to keep the pages live. Without groups, it is impossible to manage all of the tabs.
Exactly why those macros ought to have tests.
While the Intel laptop CPUs may have been not good enough, that is not where Intel has lost money.

The current financial results have shown decent profits for the consumer CPUs, which could have been greater if Intel had succeeded to produce more Meteor Lake CPUs. Intel could not produce as many Meteor Lake CPUs as the demand because their new Intel 4 manufacturing process has low production yields.

While Intel lost money in their foundry, that was unavoidable due to the high expenses needed for catching up with TSMC.

Where Intel had great losses was in server CPUs. The reason for these losses must have been that Intel had to grant very large discounts to the big buyers of server CPUs, in order to convince them to not buy superior AMD server CPUs.

These losses in server CPUs were easily predictable, because even if Intel has succeeded to reach in time all the publicly announced milestones of their roadmap, their roadmap itself does not hope to reach parity with the AMD server CPUs before H2 2025 (and that assuming that AMD will not introduce Zen 6 during 2025, which would move the target).

It looks like Intel has made a PR mistake. Even if their public roadmap has shown all the time that they will continue to have big losses for at least one more year, that was obvious only for technical people, who could compare the future Intel products with the AMD products, because Intel has not said any word in their roadmap about what the competition will have at the same time. For non-technical people, the Intel press releases sounded more optimistic than they should have been, leading to disappointment caused by financial results that should not have been surprising.
You do not even need a racial explanation for cities like LA losing population - The average rent cost of rent is less than the average pre-tax salary. This gnarly rent to income ratio is a trend across most major US cities. You simply cannot afford to live in them without a high paying salary. In LA, many of those people are fleeing inland, causing prices to increase there as well. It's a problem I'm not sure the solution for.

I outsourced that. Since I have seen leah2's anarchaias [1] tumblelog (and one of its successors project.ioni.st from the rails guys, I fail to find a snapshot online - it was pretty) I iterated through multiple software solutions. My bookmark manager is also a tumblog [2] and online accessible.

Ask HN: Thinking about selling my SaaS business
a throwaway account for privacy reasons.

I'm thinking about selling my SaaS business, which I have been running for almost three years now. Modest year-over-year growth (50-60%), low churn, healthy profit margin (90%), loyal customer base, strong SEO.

tech stack is simple - vanilla Rails app, Sidekiq + Redis, SQLite, hosted on Hetzner's bare metal server.

The business doesn't require much maintenance, but it does require some technical skills to operate. The biggest channel is SEO, which is on autopilot.

* MRR - $1.7k ($20k ARR)

* TTM Revenue - $17k

* TTM Profit - $15k

* ARPU - $9.1

* LTV - $140

Asking price - $85k (lower, if you're willing to move quickly)

There's room for growth, but you'll need to invest in further product development.

The previous business I sold was neglected by the new owner and shut down two years later. I built a lot of goodwill with my customers, so looking for someone who will take good care of them.

Immortality isn't a thing, the heat death of the universe virtually guarantees that. But nobody seriously thinks they're going to live a Googleplex of years. They just don't want to be limited to a max 110 year lifespan, where there's a good chance you spend the last few years wasting away in some nursing home. Why not live a few centuries or even millenia until something inevitably kills you? There's way more to see and do than any one current lifespan.
The regulator can take that, but as far as I can see it's only for DVDD, the core voltage of 1.1 V. You also need at least IOVDD, which should be between 1.8 V and 3.3 V. So you'll need to supply some lower voltage externally anyway.

I suppose the main draw of the regulator is that the DVDD rail will consume the most power. 1.1 V is also much more exotic than 3.3 V.

Things don't happen in a vacuum and trying to extrapolate current trends 100+ years into the future is a fool's errand. A couple decades ago everyone was worried about the opposite problem. Neither of us has any idea what the new worry will be in a few more decades.

The earth currently has billions more people than are necessary to keep humanity going; there's plenty of slack in the current system. Yes societies will have to evolve if birthrates stay low for a while, but they always have to evolve and if populations ever did drop precipitously low people already know how to make more babies.
Consuming a drink with erythritol — an artificial sweetener used to add bulk to stevia and monk fruit and to sweeten low-carb keto products — more than doubled the risk of blood clotting in 10 healthy people, according to a new pilot study.

The AI boom that lead to Nvidia's market position is still, 3 years on, almost entirely speculative. The only products that are currently driving value (i.e., that are providing consumer surplus, for which businesses and individuals are actually opening their checkbooks for) are paid chat-bots.

Nvidia ate the whole pie because they were in the right place at the right time with shovels to sell. Getting into it now, in house, would be a huge bet that the pot of gold will be there when they get to the end of the rainbow -- and they have a long way to go.
Good for you. That doesn't change the impression that many of us have when we see relatives and friends who buy Apple products yet have low incomes. I'm pretty confident they aren't doing it because of any technical superiority and they certainly aren't doing it because the devices last since they upgrade every couple of years.

Intel admitted that they knew about a problem with 13th and 14th gen chips since 2022, and just didn't tell anyone while continuing to sell that stock into 2024.

How is that not a crime against someone? How weak are our laws that you can knowingly sell broken products for two years and the only thing people can do is sue you?
Intel's main problem is its people. Sorry to say.

The management culture there is insanely siloed and toxic, full of scar tissue from previous periods of political turmoil and a few relentless sociopaths who absolutely will not stop climbing just because it's obviously damaging to the company.

The engineering culture is full of secrets, moats, and the general sense that while making progress might be your job, stopping it is everyone's job. And there are always more of them than there are of you.

Perhaps most fatally, responsibility for decisionmaking is ultimately delegated to the process of decisionmaking rather than the people involved. The resulting proliferation of checkboxes and box checkers have elevated dysfunctions like "the perfect being the enemy of the good" and "none of us is as dumb as all of us" into de facto mottos for large parts of the company.

All of this happens against the backdrop of eroding mind and marketshare, a total lack of real product clarity, and a pervasive culture of bullshit that puffs politically convenient non-accomplishments into events worth of companywide applause while spinning, downplaying, or even hiding bad news of calamitous import.

Intel has vast reserves of talent but without deep (IMO, impossible) cultural changes it will inevitably fail under its own weight.

From what I've observed, if the insurance company uses a mascot of any kind, you will have difficulties in getting them to pay a claim.

Genericity is not really the issue as I see it. The basic K&R macro using ?: is fully generic. The problem is that C has implicit conversion between essentially any numeric types. The main point of the kernel macro was to prevent such conversions.

I think implicit type conversion is a mistake, perhaps one of the few true design flaws in C. Languages like haskell and rust went with explicit conversions which is probably a better idea overall, even if it does increase the code verbosity a bit. C++ instead doubled down and added many more ways for implicit conversions to happen.
I didn’t see any evidence.
> It is very ironic that far right extremists organise themself globally

The one that’s baffling to me is the Irish far-right movement, which is essentially a satellite movement of the British one (to the point where one of their propaganda rags, “The Irish Light” is literally a localised version of a British one called “The Light”). Given the history between the UK and Ireland, and the general attitude of the British far-right to Ireland, this is all just bizarre.

While there are a couple of Ireland-and-Northern-Ireland political parties, the far right is the only truly integrated political movement between Ireland and the UK as a whole. The whole thing is very odd. It’s er, not where you’d normally expect internationalism.

He's upped his content publishing the past few months now that he is competing with Oren Cass to change mindshare and build a prominent profile, but Cass is a Romney protege so he's limited.

If Trump becomes president, Stoller is most likely going to be nominated as an FTC commissioner because of his close relationship to JD Vance [2]

Do you have a clear sense of what, exactly, it is that you're trying to accomplish?

You say that your third-party product "functions, but barely". In what ways is it failing you? What do you want it to do that it doesn't? Can you articulate that? What features do you want them to implement that they aren't? And more importantly, what are they doing that you couldn't do without them?

Before my current role, I was a PM (for a company of roughly comparable size to yours). And that job exists because "just make it do X" is in fact a project that requires days if not weeks of very deep thought, because X always involves dozens of assumptions and edge cases and complexities that are not obvious even with domain expertise.

To answer one of your specific questions from my perspective as the CEO of a tech recruiting company:

> Besides, can we even attract experienced developers to a non-glamorous industry like logistics?

Sure. Building an exciting product is something that motivates some developers, but it's not the only or even the primary thing that does. Common motivators in our candidate pool, in rough order of most to least frequent, are:

- Being able to work remotely (this, all by itself, will 10x your candidate pool overnight even if you're not working abroad)

- Salary

- Work-life balance

- Stability / trajectory

- Autonomy / lack of non-technical meddling in technical work

- Working with specific technologies

Remote work + reasonable dev salaries is already enough to have a decent pool of candidates. And I suspect that the nature of this post means you're much more open to treating a dev team as a value add and not a cost center, which is already better than a lot of people do.

I'd be happy to talk more specifically, if you want, about how you might pitch yourself to engineers (my email's in my HN profile - and no this isn't a sales honeypot, I'll tell you what we do if and only if you give a damn).
I am not comfortable writing bad code, as it is detrimental to my professional development. I am unable to improve my technical skills in this environment. The issue stems from a lack of qualified or senior developers on the team, which makes it easy to write poor-quality code and pass code review. The developers who were on the team before me wrote subpar code, and nobody questioned it. Now, we have items to deliver in sprints, and it's challenging to deliver quality software within the given timeframe. When I try to write good quality code or try to write, I often can't finish my items on time. Unfortunately, nobody blames the existing codebase; instead the blame falls solely on the developer.
>the focus should be on creating an environment that encourages competition and innovation.

What would that be exactly? Seems like an easy thing to say without specifics, but things like environmental rules and minimum wage laws exist for reasons. If those are obstacles, I'm not sure they're worth discarding.

LUKS has a negligible impact on I/O bandwidth, and the same is true for software RAID. I'm almost saturating NVMe drives using a combination of LUKS (aes-xts) and software RAID. Additionally, the encryption and decryption processes are almost free when using hardware AES-NI instructions, especially while waiting for I/O.
My experience, over 10 years building models with libraries using CUDA under the hood, this problem has nearly gone away in the past few years. Setting up CUDA on new machines and even getting multi GPU/nodes configuration working with NCCL and pytorch DDP, for example, is pretty slick. Have you experienced this recently?

TV, radio and newspaper ads are regulated by the FTC. Advertising on these mediums is limited (24 hours in a day, X number of pages in a paper) and illegal content can be easily tracked and archived, and prosecuted.

Big Tech serves an ungodly number of ads from all kinds of scrupulous and unscrupulous parties. Ad content is almost impossible to track and monitor. Big Tech says "let us self-regulate" while also saying "it's not possible to ensure thaf every single ad we serve complies with the law, we're doing our best".
You're ignoring most of the data and mischaracterizing what you did mention.

> That study also analyzed the blood of more than 4,000 people in the United States and Europe and found that those with the highest levels of erythritol were twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke.
It's of course up for debate, but one of the general assessments is that the resentment caused by the Treaty of Versailles gave fertile ground for the rise of the Nazi party. It's hard to see how unconditional surrender would have made the treaty more palatable to Germans rather than less.
I agree with a lot of the "how to" suggestions here. One addition is that you need to have a small number of key non-development employees really guide the development with strong opinions on functionality. This will likely mean your strongest folks in the departments that the software will serve. I would avoid building this by committee. 1-2 of your best folks who will be the ultimate end users should have massive decision-making power in what gets developed, in what order, and for what purpose.

Also, don't underestimate maintenance in your cost assumptions. Even after you've developed the product, you will need several people full-time just to maintain, update, and bug fix, let alone add new features that got sidelined during the initial development in order to meet the MVP.
