That's very interesting to me. Because of this specifically being so weirdly pleasurable. I have now driven a lot of different cars because where I'm locally, you can use an app to rent cars for very temporary times and they are everywhere, within walking distance. Maybe it's in other countries as well, I don't know. But in any case, this has given me so much opportunities to try out various cars from 2021-2023 year release. I only recently got a license, and the car I bought is my first, so I don't have much historical experience, or experience in general, but to me when driving a car this particular audio quality is the main thing to affect my mood and perception. I either feel hyped for the rest of the day or frustrated and disappointed. And I usually don't think of myself as a music fan or anything like that. Also don't think I'm very young, I'm just a late bloomer in terms of getting a car.

Because of that impact, and because of my lack of knowledge, it was very difficult and concerning to find a car, because we are kind of trying out Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, bluetooth without anyone really giving advice on the topic. And car sellers don't seem to be mindful about the topic, neither any relatives that we tried to consult on which car to buy. The best advice car sellers have had on the topic is to "just always use the original cable" which I don't even know what it means. Well I know what it means, manufacturer likely put the proper USB with optimal transfer rates and all, but it doesn't really answer to what the factors are or anything like that.

Are we using wrong settings somewhere? Are we using optimal settings in all the apps, the car audio tuner, equalizer? I don't know.

So we have learned a lot and we decided on a car, which we bought, but presently I still feel there's something different about Android Auto, vs Apple CarPlay, that doesn't make it quite as pleasurable. Like I'm not getting this immersive hype feeling, but more of a rigid "boom". Apple CarPlay showing that the car should be capable of it, but I can't really reproduce it with my Android phone.

But surely I can't be the only one in the World, so it seems like a thing that can be this pleasurable would have been obviously solved.

And it's not about the loudness, it's about how it smooths out or spreads, or feels like it's all around you at any volume. Like you are inside the music and the bass.

When I tried to Google for solving this problem, I didn't really find any answers, so I'm sharing this here on hackernews, since frequently interesting perspectives appear here.

If there's a traffic jam or rush hour, but the music is so great and immersive, it wouldn't matter and you never want the music to end, it seems odd that there's not that much focus on it from sellers point of view or people I know in real life.

Or do I just have a weird physiology/psychology that responds to some odd things that no one else really cares about, or is some small setting somewhere?

Very simple solution for WebAPKs: do not use Chrome, nor let any of your relatives do so. Third-party browsers must implement their own minting server and as far as I'm aware Firefox does not. And you get real ad-blocking functionality and far less spying from Google while at it, too.

Not an expert in this area but I suspect if this idea started to gain traction people would liquidate all their holdings using any tax loopholes they can find then move their money to a country that does not have this tax and put their money in anonymous trusts, shell companies, etc... I have no idea what impact this might have on the stock market, banks, investment firms, state or national GDP. There are many countries one can purchase a citizenship.

Admittedly.. these days it's much easier. In the 1990s and prior to unicode it was a small nightmare. It's the same issue that Wikipedia still generally uses generated images to display equations, so unless you know the name of the symbol or can type it, you're going to have a hard time finding any reference to it.

I'm wondering what the ¬ operator was doing in BASIC. Line 25.

At first, I was thinking it might be power, so that A and B should be the same but calculated differently, but the final output shows that B is a bit less than double that of A. Or maybe it's just losing more precision because of log conversions, but I'm surprised that would error towards a bigger number. FWIW, I don't think either answer is correct, so I think the program is just demonstrating different rounding errors due to loss of precision.
In effect you’re making a claim that in the general case, less systemic precision is preferable because more precision is brittle

However you cannot know the relative brittleness apriori and you have to have a consistent measure that you’re comparing to

Like it seems that you’re suggesting a loose grained low variance forecasting model will only find high likelihood inferences and filter everything less impactful - making it more robust

However experiments regularly destroy previous concepts by the merging of conflicting variables - this is hegelian synthesis, or popperian falsification

So foundationally that thesis is flawed because it implies no system improves from additional observation - it gets more brittle. The entire theory of the firm, monopoly efficiencies etc… are a counter example disproving this logic

That said, all systems are coupled, so if a complex system is optimized around a narrow saddle point then it tipping into a new state may perturb other coupled models which cause cascading adjustments - that’s not more brittle by default. It means you have to observe more coupled interactions and not overestimate likelihood you can’t experimentally validate with a functional system.

For lead generation, some users have found Clay to have a slightly steep learning curve, which makes sense if you were scaling GTM and want to set up elaborate waterfall mechanisms for contact enrichment.

If Revolut is handling tens of thousands of manual business reviews per day, and only 40% of applications require review, that's upwards of 10 million new businesses joining Revolut per year. Revolut does not yet have one million business customers, let alone 10 million. Are you conflating KYC with KYB?

Verifying articles of incorporation is a poor example. Verifying business incorporation is very straightforward, it does not require AI, a simple rules-based system will capture most cases because there is a single authority in every jurisdiction. Revolut's business onboarding process has direct integration with Companies House in the UK. AiPrise offers that as a product.

I do not understand where AI fits into a world driven by rules and authoritative information. The success of existing platforms demonstrates this. I hope that I am wrong and that you succeed.

I doubt it. Sure you can deploy mirrors in space to collect and focus light towards PV panels on earth, but the sun isn't any brighter in low earth orbit.

To get meaningful amounts of power you'd need square kilometers of mirrors perfectly positioned. And if you had all that, a single dark cloud could swoop in and block all your incoming power.

But it could be interesting in today's dynamic electricity markets. Solar power plant owners could order some night time sun, if demand and prices surge in their region for whatever reason. I guess it all comes down to SpaceX rideshare pricing and their reflector-tech. Maybe they've got some huge folding or inflating mirrors, which can be deployed by tiny satellites.

I think coupling these ideas together, it’s all rather unsustainable, no? That seems to be the elephant in the room, but everyone is too busy here telling others they’re just “dicking around” not having children. Just kick that can down the road a bit more I guess.
My own bank used to have [A-Za-z0-9] passwords with a character limit + browser certificates. I thought the former was pretty bad (and it's always alarming, as it tends to imply they're storing it in plaintext if they even care what the characters are ...).

Then they got bought by another bank ... and now, they require *6-digit* PINs/passwords + no certificates. Yes, there's 2FA involved now, but seriously, 6 digits?
> we'd probably subject it to TSA security as bad or worse than what the Eurostar has now

I take the Eurostar a few times a year for work between Amsterdam and Paris and there's literally no security whatsoever. If there's security to board the Eurostar in routes to/from the UK maybe it's because of Brexit?

Depends on which system you're talking about. Muni is 100% hydro. BART is more coy but claims their electricity is "greenhouse gas-free" and their diesel (for eBART) is "renewable".

Tangentially related but I think upvote/downvote culture is one of the biggest social changes that we unleashed on the world and should’ve walked back long ago. The intent of the idea is good but I think in implementation it’s too ripe for abuse.

In those old forums, you couldn’t (easily) bury things the way you can today. We basically handed an incredibly powerful weapon to anyone interested in controlling a narrative - especially so with the centralization of everything.

(I want to be clear that I’m aware old forums could be gamed still, and I’m mostly trying to underscore how messed up I consider upvote/downvote/ratio culture).
Mind, you'll be unable to send emails to Microsoft-owned accounts (@outlook.com, @hotmail.com, and similar).

Ah yes, for people trying to reach companies outside of the crunchase/linkedin/apollo universe, we would not be great for discovering them.

However, we've had users find leads from other SMB-focused indexes and import them as CSVs into AnswerGrid for additional research.

One example is if you had a list of thousands of roofing companies (with websites) and wanted to flag which of them focused on commercial projects. You'd import this list and deploy our web scraping tool to visit their websites and look for any indication of this.

We are, however, planning to expand the coverage of our company index too

A PKS is a "polyketide synthase" which is a type of enzyme that acts sequentially, like an assembly line to build large complex molecules. It is best visualized- there are some good videos on youtube with animations and figures showing how they work.

Yes, I read the article- polyketide synthase (PKS) is mentioned right in the title. What makes this finding novel is just how massive this PKS, named PKZILLA is compared to previously discovered ones.
On a related tangent, the entire rail network of the whole country of Switzerland was fully electrified by 1967.

Electrification had started in 1907 and reached 70% by 1931.
Convert is an important word there. It's very obviously not the first electric train service, but they're normally built as electric from the beginning.
Its the fundamental question of whether the human is mostly savage and our systems are valuable at tempering our worst impulses and directing us in a reasonable direction, VERSUS humans can progress beyond their savage impulses if only we weren't encumbered by the systems and expectation anchoring us down.

So the reason we can't have nice things support the former position: that humans can't simply choose to be better. We need to change the system to direct people to better ends if we have the resources to do so. We shouldn't be surprised when a struggling startup sells user data because that's just what humans do. If we don't want this bad inevitable thing we need to modify the system elsewhere to prohibit or disincentivize.
But what does it actually stand for? Terminal user interface? Text user interface? I'm not complaining or saying it shouldn't be used, I'd just never seen it before and my initial searches for TUI were all overloaded with other things.
I think what you mean when you say instance of Gtk is a copy of the Gtk library in memory?

That's not how flatpak works; identical libraries will share the same file on disk and will only be loaded once, just like non-flatpak apps. And because Gtk is usually part of the runtime most apps will use one of a few versions.
I worked for Microsoft for 17 years, most of that in and around Windows.

I can tell you that you are wrong. Whatever the company’s flaws, the people in Windows care deeply about compatibility and about not breaking things with updates. I have hours of stories from the trenches, and could probably talk at length about how such a point of view would be suicidal for the Windows business.

I don’t know what went wrong here, and I’m not saying Microsoft is blameless. I am saying that whatever went wrong was NOT due to lack of caring about breaking things, even non-Microsoft stuff sharing the same computer.
I experienced a few German S-Bahn systems. Berlin's seems to be the only one that doesn't use trains similar to the regional ones, which have the delay.

Is multimodal data management an issue for you?
After hearing so many issues managing video/audio data for ML from my portfolio companies, I'm looking into incubating a infra startup in the space.

- lots of files make read write slow
- data size too big, makes S3 slow and EFS super
expensive
- labeling is annoying to set up and outsource
- Hard to store and load checkpoints fast

Anyone face these issues? I've seen some open source projects like JuiceFS tackling this but none with good UI/customer support and full featured.

FWIW Deutsche Bahn is just one of many train operators in Germany. On my recent trip back from Köln to Berlin, I experienced a whole lot of delays in the Rhine-Ruhr region (on trains not operated by DB) and no meaningful delay on the enno, Abellio or DB Regio segments from there on.

We had an early campaign where one of our AI columns was tasked with inferring the ICP of all companies based on their description.

We then used these ICPs to create a personalized starting list of leads for them.

This did not work very well, as most ICPs ended up looking as generic as "SaaS companies with more than 10 employees."

This was one of the reasons we decided that using AIs to write copy or create anything that would make it into the outbound itself was not the best use of their strengths.

Instead, the tools should be deployed towards qualification :)
