Just a comment from behind the former Iron Curtain, I am really happy that you included letters with diacritics.

When it comes to ÁĚÝŘŠ etc., the Iron Curtain still sometimes rears its head from the screen, even in 2024.
If that were true then it would work on the second try. In reality it's always the wrong way on the second try.
The worst part about this is they will be out of business in 10 years, and resold the bands to an existing telecom.

In this day and age, the protocols do not require exclusive control over a band to function in spread spectrum modes.

Pretty douche move, and pissing off 68000 amateur radio folks in an election year may be unwise. =3
We have a problem getting rid of stuff in this way because we have hoarding tendencies. For every item you consider removing, you think up new ways in which you might need it in the future, or you say you will have a yard sale and make a little bit of money back, neither of which are realistic.

I think the problem is further exacerbated for people growing up in scarcity, so they are used to frugal operations, and are unable to cope with modern day flood of goods. Our parents are a good example, they save plastic grocery bags, all boxes, all original containers even for e.g. a coffee maker. "Just in case we will sell it one day".

I don't know what to do :-) Maybe we should write a will/set aside a fund to pay a junk removal company to come before our kids get ahold of the mess, so they don't inherit the burden.
When I was younger, I used to think that it was honorable to work long hours, including overnight, for an employer. As I grew older, I realized it was so unfair, especially considering that the bosses would never put in even a regular full day of effort, and would undermine my work with bad managerial decisions. Just because they put in extra effort at some point twenty years ago doesn't entitle them to do that to me now.

Regarding being an investment banker, if you're intelligent, it's imho better to earn your capital and then do your own investment banking for yourself, not for someone else.

It's time you stopped taking threads off-topic into whatever your personal thing is with YC/HN. As far as I know the only secrets anybody is keeping have to do with your own behavior, how badly you treated people who did nothing but try to help you, and how one by one you've exhausted their patience and goodwill.

If you want to blog or whatever about how you're being persecuted, fine, but I don't see what obligation HN has to serve as a platform for it.
The effects live on, unfortunately. Justice was not served as an outcome of that case.

Today, people's mindshare is still largely with Intel, mostly due to nearly 2 decades of associated brand new computers, and performance with Intel, since they were the only offered option 90% of the time.

Think about your typical non-technical person shopping for a computer. "I want Intel, they've always done well for me".

(I'm not sure what percentage-flippant I'm being in this upcoming comment, I'm just certain that it's neither 0% or 100%) and in what way is that different than "real" life?

Yes, you're certainly correct that there are horrifyingly-strong incentives for those-in-control to abuse or exploit simulated individuals. But those incentives exist in the real world, too, where those in power have the ability to dictate the conditions-of-life of the less-powerful; and while I'd _certainly_ not claim that exploitation is a thing of the past, it is, I claim, _generally_ on the decline, or at least that average-quality-of-life is increasing.

It depends. Is the author giving away content for free or is it paywalled? There are both types of authors using patreon.

I'm comfortable saying that the authors who give it away for free and ask for donations are, in fact, receiving donations.

Mine has been a little bit more along the lines of helping them understand how everything is linked. They can't really even understand the power of JOIN, which greatly reduces the power of what I set up. Basically, I'm sort of stuck in a place where I built something that's too powerful for them to use, and I can see an LLM finally bridging that gap

Ask HN: How do I get better at solving AoC-like problems?
Recently I've started to solve Advent of Code problems. I'm doing not too bad. But I do realise, that I spend way too much time on the problems that come after around day 16 and I'm not quite sure if I'll be able to solve all of them eventually. Sometimes I need time to refresh my knowledge of a particular algorithm. Sometimes I don't even know what exactly I'm looking for. Obviously I lack some basic building blocks, but probably also a skill to apply them in the more practical settings.

I wonder what would be the best way to improve? How do I learn to recognize algorithms needed to solve the problem quicker?

P.S. I am doing it just for fun and self-improvement, i.e. it has nothing to do with the interview preps or something. I'm also the most comfortable with learning on my own through the books (though not limited to that), so any books recommendations are welcome. Would classical texts like CLRS help in this case? Any better options?
Wow, that changes the meaning completely.
You are presented the final cost up-front. There is no "hidden cost" here.

When you sign up for a hotel room and they add on room cleaning charges at the end of your stay, that's a hidden cost, especially since the charge is the same no matter what you do while you are there.

Ironically, "sales tax" feels like a hidden cost to me. Yes, everyone knows it exists, but not everyone knows what the local value is wherever they are, especially on vacation. It should be on the sign. I guess it's not surprising that the government exempts themselves from this law.
In truth, there was no argument to reply to. Just name calling.
In reality it does often offer perks (seeing creative work before release, exclusive behind the scenes stuff, etc.) so I think you can see that as a purchase, no?
New CA electric trains may signal notoriously laggard US joining rest of world
In my eyes the most egregious aspect of this is it’s a financial transaction between two people that they’re taking a 30% cut of. I see 30% as fine for things like IAP for digital games and such, but somehow in this lens it feels wrong.

One proposal for a compromise that would feel fair: Apple gets 30% of the app creator’s take rate.

IE if patreon’s take rate is 8%, Apple should get 30% of that, not 30% of the full transaction. This could generalize to physical goods as well. It would require more reporting, but would feel more fair in the eyes of the creators and the users.

I run a similar service to patreon where I charge a flat $1 fee on subscriptions, regardless of the size of the subscription. A $50 sub suddenly getting only $34 after my $1 fee and apple’s $15 fee feels wrong. There’s no amount I can reduce my take rate to cover Apple’s take. But I’m entirely ok giving them $0.30 on my $1 take.

Basically - I’m entirely OK having 30% of my net profits taken by Apple. I’m not ok with 30% of my gross.

If Apple actually did that, then none.

But Apple's corporate tax structure requires them to be in the EU. It's not just the loss of EU revenues at stake; Apple would owe hundreds of billions more in taxes each year as a result of this "simple" suggestion.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Why not microplastics, fine particle pollution, noise (urban living around lots of cars and/or heavy industry), mental stress, lack of sleep, lack of healthy connections, lack of time outdoors and healthy exercise, and similar things?

The purpose of scientific research is to establish novel facts. I'm saying this hinges on belief, both for scientists and for astrology believers, and thus cannot really establish any novel facts.

Or ever more local differences like when school age cut off is. I would expect some small differences be found due to these impacts, but they would not be universally applicable without generalization.

If schools roll over to the next grade at the start of October, babies born in October will perform better due to being the oldest in their class, but this would not be universal. What I would expect to be universal, is given a school system that does grade division in this way, students right after the division would do better than the ones born right before, as the first group is the oldest in their class and the second group is the youngest.

The extent this pairs with astrology would probably depend purely on population densities between different cultures. If things were fully uniform it would average out, but given they aren't, some residual bias existing wouldn't surprise me.
I'm quite curious if there is some tenet of MBAology that essentially comes down to a more sophisticated version of 'ignore the side effects and likely future consequences of your actions.'

Show HN: Flowtest.ai – AI agent that performs E2E testing in your website
Hey, we are 3 co-founders working on Flowtest.ai, an AI agent that can use websites as a real human and perform there regular end-to-end testing without coding and complex setups.

You simply provide a prompt in natural language, watch a live video to ensure it behaves as expected, schedule it to run regularly, and you have an automated test built and launched. Agent will always run in a new Chrome window acting as a real visitor so if you change elements - it will adapt and you won't need to heal test.

Our goal is to simplify automated websites testing, so you don't need extensive coding, scripting, and ongoing maintenance to heal tests. While we don't aim to replace traditional tools like Selenium, Playwright or Cypress, we want to enable teams to start automated testing sooner without hiring QA engineers or enable existing QA team reach broader test coverage with minimum effort.

The tech behind Flowtest.ai: we convert visible screen elements into text for the LLM (currently GPT-4o), including visible text, element type, and sometimes HTML attributes like alt text or class names. This helps the LLM understand elements that don't have text (e.g. icons). LLM will interact with the page in a similar way as a real user would by simulating mouse click events, using keyboard to enter text, scrolling the page, etc.

You can describe tests as you would to a human, like "use the search box to find a t-shirt and add the first product to the cart" or be more specific with instructions.

We offer a free plan so you can experiment and launch your initial tests without any cost. Sign up here: https://app.flowtest.ai/register?plan=free

One could argue that including the taxes in the price makes it less obvious how much tax the government is collecting - which is disadvantageous to taxpayers.
Apple are really such filth. Imagine thinking it's ok to take 30% of every transaction like this, and like they already do on their app store. I don't know how anyone thinks this is ok. It's worse than credit card rates.

Seems like you might want to send in your comments.
But saying zero disallows your team from guessing at all, right? Maybe "<death card hint> 666" would work.

A common pattern in our play groups is when the other team is just 1 away from winning and you cannot find a clue that covers all your remaining words, you come up with the best clue you can and say "99" so that it's clear "The number is irrelevant to the clue here, just keep guessing until you win or you miss."

Edit: I'm wrong. From the rules: "If 0 is the number, the usual limit on guesses does not apply. Field operatives can guess as many words as they want. They still must guess at least one word."

Edit2: And instead of 99, my play groups should have been using "unlimited." Again from the rules: "Sometimes you may have multiple unguessed words related to clues from the previous rounds. If you want your team to guess more
than one of them, you may say unlimited instead of a number. For example feathers: unlimited."
It would be worth spending a few minutes improving this notice. Give more context for what the heck this is, and distinguish between "your screen is too small" and "you're using a browser that doesn't have the API we need".

Maybe, maybe not. The Paris Agreement doesn't actually have a threshold: although it clearly intended to specify one, it's not worded precisely enough to actually do so.

Sabine Hossenfelder has done a video on the problem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dqz7P-mORs

Climatologists fight with each other in public over whether the threshold has been crossed or not. They often can't even give a straight explanation of their own position. Sabine shows a clip from a recent video call by Michael Mann where he presents a temperature graph that shows 1.5 of warming, but with a baseline of 1970. He claims the baseline doesn't matter and you can "quibble" over it! Unfortunately for Mann he's talking to someone who is switched on, and they point out that 1970 isn't pre-industrial so the Paris Agreement must have been voided years ago according to that data.

Mann gets confused, starts stuttering, starts scrolling through his Twitter feed, points to another graph with a 1970 baseline and then claims the true baseline is actually 1900-2000. Again the guy he's talking to calls him out on it, asking if that's 1950 then it's still not pre-industrial times? Then Mann claims the official baseline is "late 19th century" and there has been only 1.4 degrees of warming since then. The video ends with the guy in the audience saying "Now I'm totally confused", which is reasonable because what Mann is saying isn't internally consistent.

As Hossenfelder and many of the YouTube commenters point out, it's absurd to claim there's an important threshold of increase whilst also claiming the baseline doesn't matter. Those two positions aren't compatible.
Yes, they do. The policy is not new. If you read the fine print you sign when you check into any hotel you will probably find it gives them the right to enter your room at any time.

After the Mandalay Bay shooting MGM settlesd an $800 million case. They were sued for negligence because had any employee just gone in the guys room they would have stopped the whole thing.

After that daily checks have been the policy in a whole lot of places.
I didn't read the whole thread but this seems incorrect to me:
