Classic HN. You personally can't see the value of X therefore the entire market for X is wrong.
Don't go all in. Try starting your business on the side and see how it goes for a while.

I’m chipping away at bugs and adding features to my app Reminder Sync for Obsidian! https://turquoisehexagon.co.uk/remindersync/

Currently working on supporting dataview tasks format and multiple reminder lists.

The app supports any markdown backed notes app, but I fear I may have limited its appeal by including Obsidian in the app name.

CV pipeline to get some additional realtime stats for an annual Mario Kart 8 LAN tournament my friends and I run, hoping to be able to get real time race position tracking and other stats like boost/drift %, per-player item distributions, average time to 10 coins, and whatever else we can think of (and make work)

sorry, "exploration" is a wrong word, destruction I guess is better ... 25bn is absolutely not enough money not just for any "deep space" exploration but not enough for "around the Earth and back" exploration which is why private companies like SpaceX are taking over even that...

That sounds fairly awful. The top 1% of earners pay 45% of income tax (US figure). Why would you want laborers to pay so much more tax?
I don’t understand these types of articles. They criticize capitalists for behaving like capitalists, and capitalism for being capitalism. It’s like society is trying to hitch itself to this predatory economic animal and then ends up surprised pikachu when said predatory animal acts true to its own nature.

Capitalism is going to prioritize what it’s designed to prioritize, CAPITAL, and those priorities don’t include labor, or even society as a whole, and definitely not the environment. If we want an economic system that prioritizes society and people, or the environment, we should choose something different with a different design and different priorities, rather than continuing to complain about capitalism acting like capitalism.
Note that Paul Graham has a vested interest in you doing that and he writes with that in mind.
BWX does not help with unaligned accesses, but solves the fact that original Alpha did not even have instructions for memory accesses smaller than word. Which kind of becomes an issue when you start building the systems on PC-like hardware (another related “feature” is that EV5 does not have equivalent to MTRRs, but dealing with the weirdness of VGA framebuffer accesses is part of the architecture specification by means of hardcoded uncached memory region).
The earlier you go, the easier it is to pinpoint a single demographic (although not sure what's the point in doing that).
But from '95 on, I'd say it's pretty misleading to point that to US or middle class engineers. Even in 95, it was already available to non-ranked university students in peripheric countries, and not just for those studying at engineering faculties. Although most web content at that time was related to porn (90%) and jokes (9%) and some other content (1% - probably stem and engineering?), but I don't know exactly in what philosophy that content is considered prominent and default.
From 2000, it was accessible and even not too expensive for most middle class households by landline. From that time on, it was more about which demographic is not yet present... I think you had to wait e.g., another 10-12 years for mobile-first minors and for the idle retired people.
Neat. I’d love something that could watch my wife and I play and confirm I really do get hit by more blue shells than her

Nobody wanted to buy them because the pricing was just ridiculous. I’m sure as hell not dropping 1.5 grand per year to display a freaking logo next to our mails. Had they been less greedy, this could have actually worked. But the way it is, it’s just a money grab from the same guys that used to sell you overpriced SSL certificates.

> (BIMI is still a tracking pixel in every mail, BTW.)

It doesn’t have to be. Email platforms and clients should have servers in place to fetch logo images and cache them for their users; no direct correlation between users and requests in that case.

I am working on (yet another?) DuckDB gui, with an emphasis on devops-y/back office workflows.

I want to join data from AWS with other sources and present a nice data-table UI, and perhaps allow taking some basic actions on a row, defining some filters, etc.

Have you ever tried to copy-paste data out of the AWS console? Truly a terrible experience.
I’ve found if I announce I want to make a change I’m more likely to follow through. Maybe they are trying it out?
Cosmo Kramer:

They just write it off.

Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.

Jerry:
You don't even know what a write-off is.

Cosmo Kramer:
Do you?

Jerry:
No, I don't.

Cosmo Kramer:
But they do. And they're the ones writing it off.

In 2021, SoftBank is very interested in your egg selling company.
And the bank stands to lose far more money than the company they have lent to who will just fold.

In renewable energy it is actually common for the funding institutions to be paid a cut of the profits and to have no recourse to repossess assets. They take all the risk because they provide all the funding. The job of the actual developer is to provide a project worth funding.
yes.

there is not and should not be an "open market" for power. the sale of electricity from the power grid is highly regulated, and for good reason. delivery to residential customers and essential services should always be prioritized over industrial bulk purchasers.

bulk purchasers already have the opportunity to use power sources that are not connected to the grid, if they want to use grid power they should be prioritized according to their benefit to society, not their cash on hand.
My model for LDD in my head was, "run the app up until the entry point of the executable, print the loaded DSOs, and exit() before ever starting the exe." That'd get you potentially more libraries than if you just statically examine the needed libraries recursively.

> If it's in the public interest

What's in this dossier that's in the public interest?
True, that's definitely possible. I was giving the habitual answer (that I occasionally need to explain to a client at work) why you need to spend $2m having an ASIC made when "it's just digital logic and we got the prototype going in a month"

They usually care about at least one of - size, power, cost.
Mastercam already has Automatic Tool Pathing. It's essentially click "go." It'll spit out all the toolpaths to make the part. It'll be inefficient and if you don't tell it specifically what tools to use, it'll use 100 different tools, but it's actually not too bad if you set it up correctly. A number of other CAM packages have similar features now.

A basic CRUD app around goal setting as a test for how AI tools can help write web apps to see how a modern web team could leverage this stuff to go faster, and maybe identify some missing pieces I could build one day. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot etc are genuinely great if you can already write code. They really let you blast straight through the mundane bits and focus on the hard stuff.
Trying to figure out a bizarre performance drop in a merge sort I wrote for one of those daily coding problems.

https://bruceediger.com/posts/mergesort-investigation-1/

It seems that adding one node to a linked list causes a repeatable performance drop. That is, linked lists of say 2^21 nodes sort faster than lists of 2^21 + 1 nodes.

Also trying to work on the ui/ux flow to make it easier for people to understand what it is and how to create and host a game.
WebAuthn doesn't work the way you think it does. Most computers don't have fingerprint readers or even webcams, let alone webcams capable of verifying a user. Instead, you'll end up making people type in their Windows password or scanning QR codes.

Remote attestation concepts already exists to solve this problem: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-att...

Cloudflare ran an experiment with it, and I think Apple and Cloudflare are working to make it into a proper RFC. It's only a matter of time before other browsers will support it too with the way things are going right now.
Woah, I would have loved a A1200 version back in 1993.

The point is that difficulty is adjusted in accordance with network saturation to prevent a 51% attack. The network is not inherently inefficient unless you're attempting to monopolize it - you are still rewarded for using more efficient mining methods than your competitors.

Which leads us to the GPUs. For a while everyone said ASICs (and the courageous ones, FPGAs) were the future of mining because they were inherently more efficient than GPU hardware could ever be. But it turns out that it's the other way around - mass-manufactured GPUs have access to more efficient silicon than any FPGA on the market could hope for. Similarly, AI chips that want to beat Nvidia on efficiency terms first have to climb a mountain of power usage that is inherent to their exponentially less-dense hardware.

I'm working on this food logging app / personal health dashboard that I'm building for myself.

It's the non-square pixel size that throws off screenshots, pillarboxing should account for the differences between 16:9 and 4:3. 320×200 resolution was "4.8:3" squished to a 4:3 display, so pixels should be slimmer in the horizontal direction.

You're going into first place too early. You kinda have to cruse in 2nd until the very end to avoid blue shells. Better yet, stay in 9th as long as possible - that's the highest position you can get the good drops like Blue Shells, Bullets, etc. But I think you can get red shells in 2nd, so just save those till the end.
AI jerks will just start putting big red crosses on their buildings, open one 10'x10' space in their facility with some barely passed the exams to get a license type of doctor and claim it to be a medical facility of some sort. Just like other hospitals, they'll have a shortage of beds.

I'm only half joking as from what I've seen of those involved, I would not put this type of consideration past them.
Besides removing distractions, having more money raises the limits on what you can build before it needs to become self-sustaining. Retirement should be a consolation prize but not the entire goal.
Australian who has spent time living in the US: yes, the difference is still true today between how waiters at an Australian restaurant and servers at a US restaurant interact with customers.

Waiters wait. If you need anything you make eye contact and they come over.

Servers are overly friendly and will interrupt conversations to ask if the food is up to standard, etc.

I've always thought it was due to tipping. Servers need to be active and show they're being attentive in order to get tips.
It may not be fair math. The company may bet on 10 different things and just one pays off. It needs to pay off for the bad bets as well.

Janukowytsch was elected president of the country and was forcibly removed from that function. If you like him or not, it's by definition a coup.

It's also not correct to say he was simply forcibly removed from that function.
The movement is still coalescing but I noticed this too in my church--people were leaving churches that were more strict about lockdowns towards churches that were more right wing. A steady trickle of people leaving and people arriving.

That only solves half of the problem though. Since many people do not use password managers (and thus potentially reuse their passwords, there's still an incentive to obtain stored password hashes. With passkeys, the public keys stored in any given provider's database are useless—so any provider switching to Passkeys rids themselves of a big attack vector. Just think about a possible feature without rainbow tables, large credential leaks, and so on. That's what Passkeys enable.
I spent a week building a website that is a repository of timeless content. It generally consists of old magazine articles (though not exclusively) that you can pick up at any time and will bring value to your life. I notice most of what we consume on daily basis is ephemeral and not all that valuable outside of the moment, whereas ever-present content is always valuable.

The unique angle here is that each article includes a hand-written summary explaining why the article was meaningful to the curator. This gives you a quick window into the piece without being overwhelming.

Since this is a free website mostly to be shared with friends and family, I implemented user login via "phone number" to save and submit articles, but without a one-time token. So it's "password-less" for now; a trust-based system.

It's basically 'done' - but I'm not sure that I want to share it publicly for the aforementioned reasons. I've been using it on my subway rides to read more interesting stuff. So far so good.
