Hi Folks.

It's hard to overstate how excited and a little bit terrified I am today. We launched on product hunt this morning and moved to open beta with Coso self-service.

Most important day in the last 4 years of startupping. We are probably 1-2 months away from launching "comfortably" but that's showbiz.

If you have a sec, it would be absolutely amazing if you could show us any support. And better yet if you get a chance to play around with the Coso app :)

Thanks a million!

This doesn't much bother me, but I also find it pointless. These will not be reproducible or easily manufactured. Maybe good for neuroscience experiments?

Now, chimeric animals made with addition of human stem cells, that would have significant ethical problems.

Yeah. My understanding was that you'd need constellations of neurons to achieve a complex result, rather than a couple individual ones. Perhaps this article is light on details and it's more involved.
This is actually useful thing for me, I need to migrate a blog I have in a WordPress instance to a static page so I can host it on GitHub pages or something that is less expensive than the server I have WordPress going. Thanks
> This is just electioneering 101: The party leadership

Again, you moved the goalposts from "individual voters including people on HN" to "party leadership". You are either incapable of understanding that voters are not equivalent to party leaders (which is an extremely serious flaw), given that I already pointed it out to you, or you aren't acting in good faith.

> I don’t need to lean on them when the facts make the case for me

> It gives me no pleasure to report these facts. They are what they are.

The "fact" that you are claiming is: rank-and-file republican voters ("You can tell someone's political party merely by asking whether they support a high voter participation rate") are using voter fraud as a "fig leaf" for voter suppression. You have provided exactly zero evidence for this claim, despite repeatedly asserting that it is a fact, and changing the goalposts when challenged.

Furthermore, "Fig leaf" doesn't have anything to do with whether or not voter fraud exists - it has to do with whether the users of that justification honestly believe in it. And, speaking as someone with many conservative friends who honestly believe in it, your assertion is factually false,

Your claims are uncited, false, and politically biased. This is partisan political activism.
In most cases they might be incremental enhancement, but in some cases I am arguing that they will be 'pivotal' changes.
Very tasteful, well done. Having said that:

Monospaced fonts are harder to read in long form.

Using box-drawing characters when you have a web browser seems silly. I’d rather have minimalistic design with proper canvas, CSS, etc. You’re already using rounded borders, anyway.
I get paid six figures to fart in a chair and occasionally type. The idea that I'm more deserving than a dishwasher is insane. Of course I won't turn down the paycheck, but the idea that $10 is anywhere in the ballpark of what the dishwasher deserves is delusional. Certainly they deserve the paycheck more than the vast majority of the people on this forum who get paid orders of magnitude more while doing barely any work (if that).

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said that while U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman "almost certainly unknowingly" had a conflict of interest, his partiality could reasonably be questioned because his wife's ownership of Bank of America stock created an "appearance of impropriety."

A spokesman for the Manhattan federal court, where Liman works, declined to comment.

Tuesday's unsigned decision came nearly three years after a Wall Street Journal investigation found that more than 130 federal judges had since 2010 violated federal law and judicial ethics by overseeing cases involving companies in which they or family members owned stock.

Bond investors accused Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, NatWest and Wells Fargo of overcharging them since 2006 on "odd-lot" trades, which are worth less than $1 million and comprise most corporate bond trades.

Liman, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, was assigned the lawsuit in April 2020 and dismissed it with prejudice in October 2021, three months after his wife sold $15,000 of Bank of America stock.

oh my. Seeing your posts makes me sincerely want to lobby to ban video games at least if adding additional liabilities to distributing software or computing devices were actually a direction that the games industry was promoting.

There is probably a historical element. Bricklayers and other tradesmen have traditionally been drinking beer (or cheap, watered-down wine) at lunchtime throughout Europe for centuries, since it was cheap, refreshing, and packing calories; in the past, alcoholic contents were significantly lower-grade, so it didn't interfere dramatically with their work.

Add to it that, in the XIX century, "functioning alcoholism" was basically the norm for most men.

Obviously things are different today: alcoholic drinks are now built explicitly to get you drunk as fast as possible, and hence are increasingly incompatible with modern living and working practices.
Ask HN: Did you regret staying at a job for too long?
I have been with my employer for almost a decade. It’s my first job out of college. I’m wfh in a medium cost of living area. My salary is 140k and work life balance is great. I’m very risk averse and feel very comfortable in my position but I’m starting to be concerned that I’m not growing as an engineer.

I’m wondering if anyone here was in this position and wants to share their experience.
The author of this is has some pretty ridiculous allegations, from blaming the browser for analytics on its homepage provider (when you can directly change the homepage to whatever you want right from the preferences without digging into about:config or elsewhere) to automatic updates, which is set to notify about them by default, not download and apply them. Firefox was(is?) known to install a separate updater service on Windows, FFS.

And he's complaining about NoScript, which doesn't play well with Pale Moon to the extent of destabilizing the browser and whose Pale Moon compatible XUL version is long abandoned by its developer while there's an alternative (eMatrix, forked from now abandoned uMatrix that was made by uBlock Origin's author) available. (https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=17619)

Pale Moon is what Firefox used to be once upon a time in terms of customization and privacy before Mozilla became Google's controlled opposition to guard against browser monopoly allegations.

When dealing with UNIXs like AIX, screen is the only choice.

Plus I noticed it is a bit lighter than tmux. But there was one odd instance where I had a minor issue with screen, I forgot what it was.

FWIW, tmux comes with NetBSD too, I suspect maybe it is there by default on FreeBSD too.

I know. Everyone is different and there is nothing wrong with that. I don't think RSS-to-email is for everyone. And I definitely don't have (most) feeds going to my inbox. That would be far too much. The vast majority of my feeds go to a "Not Important" folder.

I also find it interesting that running an RSS-to-Email service I have noticed that we both fetch feeds from and send mail to kill-the-newsletter.com. I would be curious to know what their use cases are.
Case in point.

Thanks for ignoring most of my comment and going straight to “you think wrong, nutjob”.

By a mile. The command line doesn't really bother me, and the killer feature is being able to hook it into my crontab, so it acts like Google Reader (without the social features), but it's completely local to my machine.

I honestly don't want to rely on another service again if I can help it, and this tool really scratches that itch.
They're likely hoping you figure all that out.
Please enlighten us with your wisdom, then.
More generally, sticking with an approach that "works" by some shallow criterion, even though on deeper analysis it doesn't work, because the alternatives are not as good by the shallow criterion.

And really, can you? GPT might not be an expert in every field, but it does better than the average person at average things. It is already cheaper than a human for some tasks, because it can do so many, and fast, if looking at a hourly rate.

IANAL, nor an Apple Watch owner, nor disabled, nor a corporate exec, nor ...

Yet I sometimes wonder if companies like Apple actively avoid making their products more accessible to the disabled - because such a good deed would be brutally punished in the real world. Whether attracting the "we gave 'em an inch; now they're demanding a mile" attentions of a crowd that ranged from I-have-a-righteous-cause screamers to the really desperate, or making Apple's deep pockets the obvious Jackpot for greedy lawyers following heart-rendering tragedies involving disabled people, or ...

F# has both a `head` and `tryHead` function to handle lists that may or may not be empty. In general, `tryFoo` is a good pattern for naming functions that might fail.

Having a separate NonEmptyList type might seem like a good idea in theory, but in my experience, it leads to code that is significantly more complicated.
I understand that Anti-Cheat keeps honest people honest. Which, sure if it's your purely-for-gaming box, ok, maybe ok.

I get what you’re saying, but it really comes down to just addressing the problem directly.

It’s the same thing with wealth inequality. Tax him until his wealth isn’t that unequal. If you then decide that the CEO of facebook has too much power you can break up Facebook, but that’s a separate issue.

> It's a matter of licensing independence.

And supply chain independence. I've heard that some GPU clouds are delayed because their Infiniband hardware was delayed due to the Israel–Hamas war. Optimally you probably want to avoid critical hardware that's being manufactured in a high risk of disruption zone.
I think this is one of the pernicious things about OKR-type organizational planning. Companies get so fixated on generating results -- quick wins -- that they kind of flail around doing stuff that gets measured on a dashboard.

For what it's worth, I think this is often what we mean when we complain about "MBAs" controlling companies.

I feel that people spend insufficient time deciding why they're choosing a course of action. Companies need to allocate more resources (i.e. time) deciding what they're not going to do.

The best executives I've known have invariably shared one trait: they've been decisive in killing decent/good ideas to focus on important problems. This often makes them unpopular.

By contrast, I've found that middling executives agonize over KPIs.
> Searching for keys under the light is reasonable. Concluding the keys must be under the light is not.

Yes. And there is nothing to indicate that they concluded that the keys must be under the lights. In fact there is every reason to assume that they choose this assumption to fit their resource constraints. Because the other option would have been to not even start searching.

But turns out if you assume people are stupid, then they will appear stupid.

> An airline using a free consumer tool [1] to track its planes is not a problem of complicated technology.

Everything about aviation is complicated technology. The fact that there are free tools which provide almost the same answer the professional tools do, but can be misleading in edge cases is further evidence that the technology is complicated.

Also this is the problem with vacuous statements. The statement, I quote "What in the actual fuck." does not let us know what the commenter found curious about the situation. I thought it was that an operator misread the display. You think it is that the operator's had a "free" display instead of a professional one. But who knows. We could even ask why is it the airline who was bumbling around instead of just calling the ATC that the airplane is overdue and letting them figure out with their professional tools and training. Or maybe they are just surprised that airplanes sometimes fly and sometimes not. Who knows.

In my opinion, consciousness is a philosophical issue, not a scientific one. You have no way of truly knowing whether any other entity, including myself, has a consciousness. The interesting thing is that even if we imagine some ultra-advanced tech where you could somehow brain swap with somebody, and you still had a consciousness, you still wouldn't really know if they had a consciousness because you end up begging the question there. Did you simply maintain your own consciousness, or did it come from the new brain?
That top one really gets me. That employees in flight operations wouldn't understand the concept of dead reckoning is used in a flight tracker. Well not that some would have been confused... But that nobody in the room would have raised that over a several hours span.
This is closer to rent a transistor, and the main use case is to find out what its voltage curves are.

I did work on a version which used in vivo brains for actual computation. It worked but no one wanted to invest in building the matrix for rodents. With the benefit of hindsight I shouldn't have added the slide explaining ethical considerations: 'Container Labs in international waters help us manage regulatory risks'.
It’s not. It’s an uncharitable interpretation of my question, aka straw man.

I was hoping for a discussion about exactly what I said. The basis for such a law and its impacts.
> even rules which are not visible on-screen.

If a rule was changed but it's never visible on the screen, did it really change?

> It simply generated frames and the appearance of play mechanics from a game it sampled (which humans created).

Simply?! I understand it's mechanically trivial but the fact that it's compressed such a rich conditional distribution seems far from simple to me.

> I guess you don't like roads, bridges,

That's a pretty tired old straw-man you're dragging out. Like, because I believe in limited government I somehow hate bridges.

You can do better.

BTW, roads etc... account for about 6% of state budget, and states provide 3/4 of the total funding [1].

> ... libertarianism .. is such an incredibly naive and ridiculous political philosophy.

Why?

- Censoring social media [2]

- Driving up inflation and the cost of food [3]

- Poisoning my kids with junk at school lunches [4]

- Bankrupting the nation with debt [5]

- Permits for everything! I can't add a railing to my front porch or remove a dead tree from my yard without permits.

- Ruinous taxation

That's hardly an exhaustive list, just some things that come to mind.

You, personally, you can provide these things for people in need.

For example, I am in a similar financial situation. My family took in a Ukrainian refugee. We house, feed, clothe, and educate this refugee to provide one individual with exactly the things you bemoan others not having.

In your and my income bracket, it takes only caring enough and the true will to do something tangible for others.

For $300K of otherwise unused income you could support 4 people. So go support 4 people. And keep your hands and your politicians' hands off my finances.

It's not unbelievable when you know AMD's drivers have always been hit or miss since the ATI days, with more misses than hits.

Fans call their driver development "fine wine" since they keep getting better over time, while realists call it "not being able to release good drivers from the start, unlike the competition, needing months to reach parity".

Yeah, their HW is good, but that's nothing without good SW and AMD still has loads of room for improvement there.

That doesn't help, most Linux distributions do not maintain ABI (library-program linkage) compatibility between major releases, and in the case of rolling distros half the system has to be recompiled when things such as libcurl, openssl, libc etc change. If these change, it's possible that anything compiled agaisnt the system version of it will no longer work without being recompiled

Windows goes back and beyond for compatibility with existing compiled software and Wine inherits that, is partially why Windows versions under Wine often have a higher chance of running than the native versions (ARK is a great example)

Projects like Flatpak attempt to solve this by the use of runtimes.
Mastering ISO 8583 Message Networking with Golang
Hey! While I'm motivated to write, I've decided not to stop after my first post on ISO 8583 messages (https://alovak.com/2024/08/15/mastering-iso-8583-messages-wi...) and write a second one. This time, it's about ISO 8583 networking: how to connect to a server, send and receive ISO 8583 messages, and how to create a network client for this using Golang. You can read the blog post here: https://alovak.com/2024/08/27/mastering-iso-8583-message-net....

The post describes how to create a simple version of the client, but if you're interested in the topic, you can find a production-ready, battle-tested Golang package here: https://github.com/moov-io/iso8583-connection.

And to understand how the whole e2e flow works starting from the seller and finishing with issuer authorizeing the transaction, you can check a demo project here: https://github.com/alovak/cardflow-playground
