> Suppose a guy wants to be a slave? Shouldn’t he have the right to be enslaved?

Sure. Why not? Typically society would only be concerned with the servitude becoming involuntary. Thus the right to be enslaved would be expected to also come the right to end enslavement at will. That said, in most jurisdictions marriage dissolution is happy to uphold involuntary servitude so we're not entirely consistent here.

> Suppose a guy wants to sell his organs?

Likewise, society might take issue with it because of its once and done nature. Decide that selling your organs was a bad idea and don't want to do it anymore? Too bad. You are already dead. However, relatedly, things like the sale of blood often is legally accepted as you can stop providing blood at any time if you find the association is no longer working for you.

Aside from the monopolistic considerations, the 30% offer to Apple would normally be acceptable to society because, like blood, one can stop offering it in the future should they no longer find it to be desirable. If it were a contract that states that you will pay 30% and on all future transactions for the rest of your life, even if you stop liking the idea, then society would undoubtedly take issue with it. But that in no way has any relationship to what is being talked about here.

Now, the monopolistic considerations are not typically accepted by society, but, indeed, we have gotten pretty lazy in doing anything about it.
It does not matter on what set a tensor field is defined.

A tensor field is not a tensor, but the value of a tensor field at any point is a tensor, which satisfies the definition given above, exactly like the value of a vector field at any point is a vector.

The "fields" are just functions.

There are physics books that do not give the easier to understand definition given above, but they give an equivalent, but more obscure, definition of a tensor, by giving the transformation rules for its contravariant components and for its covariant components at a change of the reference system.

The word "tensor" with the current meaning has been used for the first time by Einstein and he has not given any explanation for this word choice. The theory of tensors that Einstein has learned had not used the word "tensor".

Before Einstein, the word "tensor" (coined by Hamilton) was used in physics with the meaning of "symmetrical matrix", because the geometric (affine) transformation of a body that is determined by the multiplication with a symmetric matrix extends (or compresses) the body towards certain directions (the axes that correspond to a rotation that would diagonalize the symmetric matrix). The word "tensor" in the old sense was applied only to what is called now "symmetric tensor of the second order" (which remains the most important kind of the tensors that are neither vectors nor scalars).
I see what you did there ;)
One idea from the book that stuck with me is that we are too often in a rush to get this or that done, so we can move on with our life. Instead, we can take the time to do it the right way and find some kind of happiness in the process.

I like the idea and know a lot of people who would profit from something like that, however for me sadly it only works for really basic charts. And scaling is not consitent. E.g the scale in the pic goes from 500 to 530 and the ai scales it from 0 to 600 where you cant see anything anymore. The good thing is AIs are getting better and better any may tomorrow the problem is solved.

+ Do you hand the pic right to Gemini Flash or do you have middle steps to extract the scales and so on?

I am super fortunate that my spouse likes to do the home projects as well. She is artistic, and I am mechanical. We solve problems together....when I don't know how to do something electrical or plumbing, and she has no idea at all, I can explain to her what the problem is, and either she gets it enough to point me in the right direction or in the process of explaining the problem I get the solution.

When she is agonizing over some color scheme (which in most cases doesn't interest me much) she will explain what she wants to achieve, and I can ask "stupid" questions that lead her to the answer...or in the odd case I make a suggestion and the lightbulb pops on.

It seems to me the mental health professionals do the same thing.

Together we have tackled installing over a 1000 sqft of hardwood flooring, removing popcorn ceilings (yuk), re-engineering built in cabinetry to accommodate an 82" TV, gutting and rebuilding 3 bathrooms, re-upholstering a livingroom suite that has no right angles (all curves), running a 90ft PEX pipe through a ceiling crawl space after receive a quote from a plumber for $8000 (took a day of our time).

The problem I have with "professionals" is that they all tell me a different story of what I need, and the "other guy" is always dead wrong.

I need a new roof and am getting quotes from multiple vendors....Just today I had calls with a couple of the vendors and they told me opposite stories of what "I need". One told me I need to replace all the wall flashings (which is very difficult and expensive given the siding must come off), and the other said don't touch it if its not leaking. Who to believe?

At the end of each project we are amazed at our accomplishment (note youtube helps). It certainly took 5x longer than a professional might take, but the end result was unique, we could change direction mid project, and in the end I know it is not crap work from some guy who left a leak in the wall. I believe the elation we achieved (and compliments from the neighbors), far exceeds the sweat equity that we put into the projects.

I would like that tabs and tab groups and MDI and related stuff like that, would be a feature of the window manager rather than the browser. (The application program (e.g. browser) may need to tell the window manager which window the new one is created from, but I would design the operating system to do that.) This way it can be used with many programs and can be used consistently with different programs and does not require add-ons; it also allows to do e.g. split-screen, to use MDI instead of (or in addition to) tabs if the user wants to do, etc.
Pimoroni does a very sweet rp2350 board with 16MB flash and 8MB PSRAM. It landed on my desktop a few days ago but I've not had a look at it yet. I might bring up a Rust-based operating system on it, I already have have it up and running in QEmu but it will need a lot of changes to even boot as the Hazard3 cores only supports machine and user modes, there's no paging.
Hmm, Im not really sure why MBTiles are popular? They seems to be cache unfriendly. Good old tiles via /{x}/{y}/{z}.png seems to be better. And you can slap web cache in front.

> I'm surprised there haven't been more attempts at a "tying" argument against Apple's App Store and their platforms, but I'm also not a lawyer. It has what looks like a pretty clear, long history of being considered an anti-competitive practice by the courts.

Epic tried to make this argument in court and failed, mostly because tying is generally not illegal if the consumer is aware of the tie when purchasing and has the option to purchase an alternative product without such a tie.

In other words it would be absolutely legal for Brother to sell a printer that only uses Brother-branded paper and toner, because if you don't like those restrictions you can simply go and purchase a non-Brother printer instead.
We probably should tax churches, since many churches require tithing and offer a pretty outstanding benefit for membership. It's hardly a donation when you're donating to an establishment central to your everyday life.

This is the core presumption of the arrogance of the christian faith. The very concept that mankind is inherently flawed, always in need of cosmic repair from some imaginary being.

If that isn’t the epitome of a toxic and pathological worldview, I don’t know what is.

Literally everything good in this life was conceived of and created by mankind.

At the bottom, they noted the following:

> SWE-Bench has recently modified their submission requirements, now asking for the full working process of our AI model in addition to the final results -their condition to have us appear on the offical leaderboard. This change poses a significant challenge for us, as our proprietary methodology is evident in these internal processes. Publicly sharing this information would essentially open-source our approach, undermining the competitive advantage we’ve worked hard to develop. For now, we’ve decided to keep our model’s internal workings confidential. However we’ve made the model’s final outputs publicly available on GitHub for independent verification. These outputs clearly demonstrate our model’s 30% success rate on the SWE-Bench tasks.

Article: "Liquid water in the Martian mid-crust" (2024)
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2409983121

- "Mars may host oceans’ worth of water deep underground" [according to an analysis of seismic data]
https://www.planetary.org/articles/mars-may-host-oceans-wort... :

> Now, a team of scientists has used Marsquakes — measured by NASA’s InSight lander years ago — to see what lies beneath. Since the way a Marsquake travels depends on the rock it’s passing through, the researchers could back out what Mars’ crust looks like from seismic measurements. They found that the mid-crust, about 10-20 kilometers (6-12 miles) down, may be riddled with cracks and pores filled with water. A rough estimate predicts these cracks could hold enough water to cover all of Mars with an ocean 1-2 kilometers (0.6-1.2 miles) deep

> [...] This reservoir could have percolated down through nooks and crannies billions of years ago, only stopping at huge depths where the pressure would seal off any cracks. The same process happens on our planet — but unlike Mars, Earth’s plate tectonics cycles this water back up to the surface

> [...] “It would be very challenging,” Wright said. Only a few projects have ever bored so deep into Earth’s crust, and each one was an intensive undertaking. Replicating that effort on another planet would take lots of infrastructure, Wright goes on, and lots of water.

How much water does drilling take on Earth?
It was largely about what FOIA compels an agency to do. They were arguing that what we were asking for was way outside of what is normally done. It was a strange argument.
That will be just great when Apple finds a creator doing that during App Review and bans Patreon over it. Patreon is going to be forced into the position of policing it for Apple, I'd guess.

The thing most aren’t thinking about is that per-creation billing is an absolute nightmare, and I don’t blame Apple for not supporting it. Can’t even begin to imagine the support nightmare/chargebacks etc.

It’s not all about the 30% cut.

If it was easy and trouble free, they would support it.

Imagine what a great time apps would have if Apple let them charge you an amount whenever they wanted, without user authorisation?

I also started gaussian splatting environments from TNG for use in unreal it's fun :)
They never make these decisions with regard for the societal benefits of solving crime, they just ban policing and congratulate themselves on preventing bad policing. They could have narrowed this down to a new definition of probable cause rather than saying "See that terrorist on video using his GPS to plant bombs at the orphanage? Sorry, we can't find 'im."
There is a little-known actor... oh what was his name again? Oh yeah, Martin Sheen-- He narrated a documentary covering the effects of a tribe being downwind from a nuclear testing area.

I've had a similar experience a few years ago. At the time, enthusiast Ryzen CPUs had just started outperforming Xeons that Dell and others were exclusively pushing. A sub thousand box edging out a ten thousand dollar workstation wasn't enough to move the needle until Threadripper workstations started to show up. Even then I wasn't able to push our IT to consider AMD as a serious replacement. Maybe that's partially why we still see ten Intel options for every AMD one.
My main pain point switching between work macbook and personal linux machines is the shortcuts. The macos configuration options are limited and require various hacks, and while I could configure things on linux to match I really don't like the macos shortcuts. So I end up with a weird mix and each time I switch keep pressing the wrong keys all the time...

Anyone found a good setup that works for them?
If the Generative AI growth continues, then physical real estate and power usage will be top priorities.

The data center shortage means hyperscalers want as much performance as possible per server (and ideally the best performance/watt because cooling is also a concern). This why AMD has double the ASP of Intel in the server market.
Hey! I work at a startup that does industrial automation related work and this looks super helpful. Going to take a deeper look later, but off the bat I wanted to ask why you felt a custom time series database was warranted when there are options like timescale or regular old postgres out there?
Only on HN would I see someone argue that depreciating or stagnant assets are the same thing as a 30% transaction fee. This community is smart enough to be able to tell the difference between a tax on revenue and a tax on profit.

Apple is imposing a tax on revenue that is higher than the revenue that Patreon pulls in from each transaction fee.

There is no equivalent situation in a realtor market. In no world would a realtor sell your house for $500k and then tell you that they deserve a higher cut of the revenue than you do.
Some of my fondest memories are of my Dad and I working on things together. One of the things I most valued about him was his willingness to dive in and learn how things worked, and sometimes even fix them. To each their own, I suppose.

I cannot overrecommend marriage counseling. (And if you have kids, make sure the counselor has their own kids. It matters a lot.) We tend to devise all manner of distortions about how our spouse really feels, and fear saying things that need to be said. It literally saved my marriage.

It's not necessarily an either-or situation. It can be privacy, annoyance, and a general lack of effectiveness.

Advertising isn't just the art of selling a product, it's the art of getting past our normal social defense that someone is trying to take our money, our attention, and our time. Advertising is necessarily adversarial, and everyone's tolerance for it is going to be unique depending on how heavily they rely on free resources, but it is a necessary unpleasantry at its best.

If I could even recall the exact number of times an advertisement of any type appealed to me in the last 20 or more years, it would amount to less than the fingers on my hand. I used to welcome all of Google's advertising tracking and relevance-seeking as the best version of advertising out there, but even that resulted in unimpressive and less than meaningful ads. If Google can't advertise something useful to me, then I have zero qualms about walking by, palm facing them in refusal.

Because of these product failures, and because it is unwise to trust a big company with all of your personal data, I rarely desired to be advertised to at all.

Individual content creators have the opportunity to give me a chance with something unique that they know that their viewers would be interested in because they (hopefully) relate to their audience much more than a faceless corporation, and can present a product in its best, most relevant light.

But if that content creator is trying to sell me a Scandinavian VPN service or a game of legendary shadows, you can bet I have zero interest.

All this may change as GenAI-driven methods may key in on relevant interests based on what I wish to share about myself. I'm hoping that Apple's Intelligence systems will end up preserving privacy as well as driving a more effective ad model.

Ask HN: Is YC Worth It for a B2B SaaS with $8.5k MRR and Linear Growth?
My startup acquired 87 customer companies and reached $8.5k MRR recently. We have around 4-5 new paying customers every week, and 13% monthly churn rate. However, the new growth rate has been linear for 2 months.

We raised pre-seed funding last July, and have 18+ month runway as of now. This can be decreased if we hire more people and spend more on marketing.

Would YC be worth it for us? We are considering next fundraising or YC to accelerate our growth.
That makes a lot of sense, and I agree. Perhaps a good baseline to develop against today to produce a similar result on modern hardware would be something like a Core 2 Duo or Core i5-750 and Geforce 9600 GT.

I find that Varoufakis idea of Technofeudalism is not exactly right, but it's right in the overall picture.
My opinion is pretty logical: If you train stuff on the entire web, the first training set will be the only set of data that doesn’t include model generated data and thus will be the most realistic about “what is human seeming”. Now the web is full of generated content. That will tend to bias the model over time if you continue to train from the web. There really was only ever one chance to do the web training thing and now it’s over and done. We will have to go back to carefully curated training sets or come up with a truly failsafe way to detect and not ingest model generated content from the web, or you’re basically eating your own feces which will cause model feedback and hysteresis, leading to bias. This is a very big picture view, but it does seem that the “great leap” 2020-2023 was because we got to do this one time ingestion of a wide amount of clean data, and now it’s going to go back to training quality to get better results.
