Is there something we are supposed to convince you of?

> Do you actually believe that before the 1900s and the invention of advertising, nobody knew about food?

1900s? Even what is considered "modern" advertising dates back to the 17th century – i.e. the 1600s.

> I don't see how you can make such a big claim without resorting to "well, daddy telling you to eat cucumber is a form of advertising".

Okay, but unless "daddy" hales from Mesopotamia, then he didn't really stumble upon one in nature by happenstance. The rest of world only came to learn of the existence of cucumbers through advertising.
Thin and Light are two independent variables, you can make a lightweight PC which still has good keyboard, thermals, repairable and ports by making it few mm thick. Its utility on the go comes primarily from weight and not thinness.
It’s very hard to say. I’m aged in gamer years, and over the last few decades I’ve seen the average age of gamer climb much higher than I expected. When I played Amiga or NES or GameGear, it was strictly in the kids territory. Adults sat around drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and having a chat. Talking business. Nowadays I think the average age is nearing 35? Has it passed it? Teens and young adults met up in PC Cafes but that era is gone, so now it’s all online.

Are kids going to be better than someone with 25-30 years of experience? Can they play FPSs better than the CAL generation of counter-strike players? Kids who spent their teenage years evening after evening meeting up to play Melee games? It’s doubtful.

Envious of new graphics? Not really. As a kid the games captivated me for what they were. Games strived to be unique, original. I think they’ve succeeded. My point of comparison for TailSpin was the tank (or ape) aiming game where you both sight the other and press fire, and TailSpin looked miles better with rain and thunder effects. No envy on my part, I got my “wow” many, many times over. Defeating Joker in Batman after 100+ playthroughs is triumph enough.
> Often our instinct is to apply more power to the accelerator when we are stuck in ice, snow, or mud. Unfortunately, this can deliver too much torque at once, resulting in the throttle opening up too quickly and creating rapid wheelspin with no traction. With X-MODE activated, the engine will deliver torque gradually

Translation: If you punch the throttle and it's slippery, the throttle is going to ignore you just a little bit.

> Subaru vehicles improve on the already outstanding AWD system by increasing the front/rear coupling force, splitting power more evenly between the front and rear sets of tires.

Translation: limited slip center differential. It'll mechanically send power more-or-less evenly to the front and the back of the car.

> With X-MODE in use, the Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system provides enhanced Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) control. This means that braking is applied much faster and only to the wheels that need it most because they are slipping or spinning without traction.

Translation: For slippage from left-to-right, the traction control system will brake the wheel that is spinning, thus encouraging the power to be used at the wheel that is gripping the road, rather than being wasted spinning a tire.

We recently went through a similar situation at a logistics company in Europe. We decided to bring software development in-house after facing similar frustrations with a third-party provider. It was a challenging process, especially in attracting talent, but ultimately, it allowed us to build a solution tailored to our needs.

Audi's with Torsens only lock front-to-back (but then so do a lot of 4WD vehicles). They use brakes to stop slipping wheels so the other side will get torque. A long time ago, they had lockers for the rear for low speed use.

Surprised to see an article about gear on HN. Very cool.

I was more heavily into bodybuilding culture 10-ish years ago when I started lifting. I never took the stuff, as there are a billionty downsides to using them and you have to train, and diet, even harder while you're on them, but I am saddened, but not surprised, to see that it's gotten _even easier_ to procure these drugs.

That said, I am impressed that there are influencers who are finally coming clean about their drug use. It was really taboo to openly admit to taking PEDs back then, so it was really frustrating to see fitness dudes talking about how diet and grindset is the key to gains without mentioning the drugs while also knowing that their followers wanted the same body they had.

VICE didn't emphasize the dark side of steroids and PEDs hard enough IMO. Steroids seriously fuck people up permanently when used without (and sometimes with) an oncologist guiding them. Heart and hormone regulation issues are the biggest side effects. And that's assuming you get good-quality drugs, which is very hard to do when you're ordering from wherever the fuck. Here's an article from WaPo that hits on that topic more directly: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/20...

The article reminded me of another thing I think I read/saw on Reddit where a bodybuilder on gear literally ripped their bicep open during a curl. It was gross. I also remembered that steroids can affect reproductive health and leaves "souvenirs" behind like enlarged guts and fat underneath chest muscles.
Tires can slip while in contact with the ground, as well.

- The overt contempt for the user's work: your computer reboots NOW to install updates, your work be damned. In comparison, macOS allows you to put off installing updates indefinitely. It never gets in your way. It doesn't consider itself more important than what you're doing on your computer.

- The overt contempt for the user's choices and preferences: oh no we sometimes accidentally reset your default web browser to Edge, it also sometimes accidentally opens itself after a reboot and requires the task manager to get rid of, and some links sometimes accidentally open in Edge. You know, computers are so unpredictable.

- Ads everywhere.

- MS Store sometimes accidentally installs "recommended" apps and games, or is it shortcuts to their listings, I don't remember.

- There are two UI stacks: win32 (the good one) and UWP/WinUI (the awkward tablet-like one with huge flat controls). Everything is wildly inconsistent. Some UIs haven't been updated since XP. I mean, if you're going to redesign your OS because you made the mistake of hiring designers full-time and now they need something to do, at least do it consistently. Like Apple does.

- Related to the last one, all new UIs are clearly built with touchscreens in mind first and foremost, while the vast majority of users use them with a keyboard and mouse.

First it was the orange/green dot in the corner of the screen for microphone/webcam (even in full-screen, much to the annoyance of anyone putting something on a projector). Then it was a full menu bar icon, with an added purple one for anytime something was doing screen recording (very annoying if you use software that regularly needs to do this, like Bartender[0] needed to for Bartender Bar and Show for Updates). I seriously hope this can be disabled, or at least is just one pop-up per week that covers all the applications, as otherwise it's going to be very annoying.

Maybe it's not meaningful, but vans in the 80s and 90s were often offered with optional 4x4, sometimes with a locking differential. An unmodified Astro or Aerostar doesn't have a whole lot of ground clearance, but could fit the definition of 4wd if properly optioned and probably wouldn't be suitable for these trails unless it gets some aftermarket help.

Of course, few of these are running anymore. 4x4 kei vans can get pretty serious too, but not a lot running on US national park fire roads.

I'm no fan of Helm, but there are surprisingly few good alternatives to etcd (i.e. highly available but consistent datastores, suitable for e.g. the distributed equivalent of a .pid file) - Zookeeper is the only one that comes to mind, and it's a real pain on the ops side of things, requiring ancient JVM versions and being generally flaky even then.

You say Intel’s semiconductor fabbing was leading when Apple started to do their mobile processors on ARM. In wafer tech that is probably true, I don’t know. But clearly Intel wasn’t making power efficient mobile chips. Either because they didn’t have the design capability or didn’t consider the segment worth it. There’s an interesting article in that alone.

My only point is that the story of Intel’s disorganized retreat is at least as relevant as Apple’s march forward

You must bring it in house. I am few weeks away from doing what you ask for an org. New stack from ground up taking all the old learnings and pieced together existing software,no/low code pile of yarn to simply build the correct db architecture and CRUD to match. Existing software worked and props to founder who scrapped it together, but it increasingly does not match the real world abstractions of the business.

Hire from within -- promote someone who is technical enough but more importantly excited and already knows the ops/logistics and has the entire mental model in their head. This eliminates a lot of headache for leadership to explain everything repeatedly and over many hours. Support this person with a senior developer with a track record. Luckily for this company I am both of those people. Keep the team lean, support them and let them work for multiple focused months to start, requiring certain milestones but allowing for refactoring as they see fit. There will be and should be some refactoring at the beginning. You want it to happen at the beginning, not later on. Maybe two people is enough or add one more person to support misc tasks and QA labors.

Within 3-6 months (depending on the team) you'll have a software foundation that actually matches your organizational structure. (note: lot of assumptions here)

I think this is a bit dismissive.

The rules regulating this clearly defined what was considered an appropriate vehicle and explicitly called out that AWD vehicles are not considered 4WD.

I will admit, the rule was not obviously posted, but knowing the rules is part of adventuring in public land like this.
We mostly do multimodal tasks (vision + text), and there the differences between flagship models are still much bigger. For us, the benchmarks showing all of them being close are pretty meaningless, it really depends on the task when vision is involved.

Our pure text tasks are generally quite simple, so for price+speed reasons those don't use Sonnet but instead Llama 3.0, very-old-version 3.5 Turbo (newer versions are awful) or 4o-mini.
It’s not clear what the reference date is.

If it’s the last time you viewed a page, then this would remain mostly unchanged (meaning no rank changes, no “new”), for example, when you refresh the page quickly after an initial view. Then if you come back, say 10 minutes later, it shows movement/new stories since the last visit 10 minutes ago.

That’s how it sounds like it works, but I could be wrong. But I’m not sure how else it would work.

But I don’t think it’s simply showing unread stories, because it’s also tracking rank changes, and that has to be relative to a reference date.

EDIT: looking at the code, it seems it works exactly as I described above.
YC does an 'open source panel' every batch where people come to hear from founders of successful open-source startups in order to learn the ropes. I've attended 4 of those by now (I think), so I have a sense of what gets said about this stuff from within the YC space at least.

I haven't heard anyone talk about ways to "pay-wall necessary features" or otherwise exploit users into paying. On the contrary, there's a lot of talk about how critical it is to be transparent and fair with your community. The consensus is that things tend to go well if you do that and badly if you don't.

The focus for these open-source companies is finding a natural way to carve out the free vs. paid parts of the space. By 'natural' I mean something that is a good fit for the domain and that both sides feel is fair. The free users know it's in their interest for the company to make money because that's how the whole thing is sustainable. People just need to feel that the paid product is one that it makes sense to charge for and that it's a fair exchange.

The most common way to do this is to open-source the product and offer a paid cloud offering. There are other approaches which I remember I found rather interesting, but unfortunately I forget the details because thanks to HN I never remember anything anymore!

But the main thing is no, not only are these founders not looking for ways to screw their open-source users, the seasoned ones are advising the junior ones to shy away from the slightest trace of that. The model by which an open-source company is making money needs to be as transparent and unimpeachable as possible.

One downside is that it's hard to get this right from the beginning, and changes can be messy. From what I've heard, the consensus is that if you keep a good relationship with your community at every step, and preserve transparency as an invariant, then it's at least possible to explain why a change is necessary and get through a messy phase that way.

Right. So the story of how Intel lost the world’s single biggest customer goes as far back as that and raises the question of why the world’s leading, at the time, chip maker couldn’t or wouldn’t make mobile chips.

Also, when Apple switched to ARM for their desktops the core motivation may have been to bring everything in house. But they gained a momentous advantage in the market because the chips they made were so much better than Intel’s. Again, explaining what happened to Intel to make them lag the cutting edge should imo be the key question, not why Apple made a rational business decision (albeit possibly an unethical one. Shareholder capitalism has entered the conversation.).
Understanding the domain is mission critical for projects. As the lead/architect/PO/... You need to balance what stakeholder say and what the really need. You can not get that, if you do not know the domain.

If you're comfortable spending $2M+ and 2 years building, then maintaining and renewing that software continuously for the life of the business then go for it!

In reality all big business become software companies eventually, but the really big ones tend to lean towards customizing a vendor product (e.g. SAP) to replace their collection of built-from-scratch tools. I'm not in the logistics business but if that's not SAP then I'm not sure what is.
I'm surprised to read so many comments that think a 'natural' phenomenon is being described. As with famous actors, it seems to me that certain faces are heavily promoted for some reason, and others are not. Certain people get endless publicity. The attention they get from the public is due to time they are gifted on TV, in newspapers - its not a natural phenomenon.

Eg Elton John and Madonna have got some good songs, but are they that good to merit the limelight they are given for so many years? And if you take anyone really, but give them access to the best producers and musicians etc, surely you will come up with lots of hits that would be associated with that act, even though the talent is in the group?
