Reading your telling of the situation, my tingling sense are suggesting that their spouse is getting greedy. I'm assuming that you paid for the marketing services at a going rate. You have left unsaid whether you have a spouse and what their view is about the company, your cofounder and their spouse. I also get the impression that you and your cofounder might not be 50:50 partners. Of course, my comments assume that you don't yet have outside investors or stakeholders. If you do then they need to assist with your decision making.

Assuming you do need the full-time services of the cofounder's spouse, make her two offers, 1) at the going rate for that role and zero equity; and 2) at a discounted salary and with a small amount of equity, taken from the cofounder's share of equity.

If you don't retain majority of equity, then your company can be easily stolen from you.
Nice. I still have a real VT520 here. I'll give those animations a try on that too.
YouTube claims the deal has expired

> our music license agreement with SESAC has expired without an agreement on renewal conditions

> https://x.com/TeamYouTube/status/1840098708274168037

And elsewhere stated the same: https://9to5google.com/2024/09/28/youtube-music-sesac/

I agree this would make zero sense as a negotiating tactic (If they did want to use it as a negotiating tactic, don't needlessly do it before the real expiration date.)

Assuming the unnamed source is correct, I would guess the agreement expires end-of-month, and countries start entering October at 3am Monday Pacific Time, and Google wanted to turn the switch off ahead of the weekend, in case there were issues.
Those craters came from somewhere.

NB: most of the visible craters on the Moon are billions of years old, and were created during the late heavy bombardment, 4.1 -- 3.8 billion years ago:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Heavy_Bombardment>

There are still constant meteoric impacts on the Moon, most as micrometeroids, though occasionally large enough to be visible from Earth. The one observed here in 2023 likely created a ~12m / 40ft diameter crater:

<https://www.space.com/meteorite-impacts-moon-february-2023-v...>

The larger craters would also likely have survived passage through the Earth's atmosphere, FWIW, so that wouldn't have saved you much either.

A more significant problem for any surface structures would likely be dust launched by human-based rocket landings and launches. Lunar dust does not billow from rocket exhaust, it is launched on a trajectory, probably sub-orbital, and will continue moving at its initial velocity until it impacts terrain or a structure.

This was first clearly realised and demonstrated during the Apollo 12 mission, which landed ~180m / 600ft from the Surveyor 3 unmanned lander. Parts of that spacecraft were returned to Earth, where it was discovered that they'd be sandblasted by lunar dust, largely as a result of the Lunar Module Intrepid's final descent:

<https://www.space.com/4956-lunar-landers-sandblasted-moon.ht...>

So it's probable that most man-made lunar structures would either have highly-resistant exteriors or be underground. And landing zones out of line-of-sight (or parabolic trajectory).
LSM trees? ScyllaDB is LSM-based storage engine. RocksDB as well.
It used to be IRC channels on Freenode and I didn't see anyone complaining back then.
I don't think "some people out there spill a lot of non-sense out of their mouths" is a valid argument against correcting facts; if anything, it may be an argument for trying to avoid such people if possible.
I wonder if you could put more logic units per core and load balance to prevent thermal throttling, or if you’d make the communication pathways slower at a rate that exceeds the gains.
Did you have to work around some rough edges of the language in that job?

To me it feels like it never quite reached maturity, although in a better world it would have gotten more support and conquered all territory that is now ruled by the Gophers.

I guess to make a successful programming language, you either need corporate backing or extend an existing one nowadays, otherwise it's really hard to build a stdlib of modern proportions.
If a citizen recognizes or intuits this to be a deep-seated problem of the political process, and if the only concrete influence this citizen can exert on the political process is choosing one of several proposed representatives, it seems rational to choose the most irrational, volatile, chaotic and unpredictable candidate.

The ideal choice would be a random number generator, but lacking that, he would want to inject the greatest dose of entropy available into the system.
wanting equity is very fair if that person is making the cash register ring.

those two knows the ins and outs, they can get rid of you and rebuild everything from scratch and also question what you bring on the table aside from being the idea guy or the visionary or the first mover.

id say be generous because if you three are well compensated, the only problem is increasing the size of the pie. make bold bets, you only got one shot to do this right. you and your cofounder already fucked up by involving family and friends, better go all in instead of planting seeds that can ruin your friendship with your cofounder or the relationship with the spouse.

watch michael and dalton vids on this, the product and the market can turn shit anytime, what matters is you all are working on your best because you trust each other and yall are well compensated enough in equity and money.

also have clear boundaries on each other roles so you dont overlap. review the airbnb guys.
> Then there's a trademark dispute involved somehow - which seems to be their only actionable claim, but has no apparent connection to the stuff they're angry about, or what they want to change.

Its not just that it is unrelated. It also seems very weak. Like they are trying to claim the letters WP as a trademark? IANAL but i strongly suspect that wouldn't fly in court.
My measurements are very, very high. But I believe that effort plays a role: train yourself to see better.
Okay so the latter then - economies of scale. Surprised to hear that few hundred million figure - I thought it'd be 1/10th of that at most! Wow.

Although I did expect there'd be a very long tail, and you might choose to host a bunch of servers on a single RDBMS, at that scale yeah it wouldn't solve much.

Thanks for coming back to me, appreciate it.
Sea robins are fish with 'the wings of a bird and multiple legs like a crab'
Other major monuments we have left from world fairs are the Eiffel Tower, the magic fountain in Barcelona and the atomium in Belgium.

It's definitely a great idea to revisit it. I'd much rather see that than the umpteenth Olympics. Science is much more interesting than sports to me.
> Your default state on an island tends towards remaining alive.

I'm guessing you spend most of your life indoors?

On Earth, outside of the carefully regulated homes we've built as a society, the default state is dead and it takes tremendous work and constant vigilence to avoid that fate, only ever temporarily.
Some craters have central peaks, and polar peaks might also be possible. Those should be in (near) constant solar exposure.

The Astronomy Stack Exchange suggests both north- and south-polar locations, near Peary Crater (north) and Shackleton Crater (south):

I did it in the UK mostly for the hardware / legal transmit permissions on some experimental bands for my SDR.

There are repeaters most places, though chatting on them didn't really interest me much. Check out echolink (available as a smartphone app) after getting your license if that does though - there is no special hardware needed and you can speak with people on repeaters all over the world if you want to.
> Bitwig is a crazy powerful tool, but as a modular synthesizer, it's not particularly distinguished.

It's much better than a modular synthesizer. The whole software is built around easy modulations for everything. And it also has a complete modular synth environment with the grid which is like Nord Modular on steroids. Pretty distinguished, I'd say.

> VCV Rack or Cardinal would be the more obvious "modular synthesis" environments to try.

They are obvious in the way that they mimic eurorack-style synths. Unfortunately that's also where they fall short: they also mimic the "spaghetti incident" mess. Some people like that, I get it, but it's not for everyone. Drambo comes with a very clever modulation system. Even Bitwig with the grid manages to keep things nice and clean with clever UI.
> Write a POSIX shell script and integrate checkbashisms into your editor.

Suggestion: Use shellcheck. It will complain about bashisms if your script says #!/bin/sh and will also catch loads of other problems.
Yeah but not really at the scale they used to be. The world really revolved around these.
Would you agree that some populations have darker skin? Sprint faster? Have different kind of hair, or skin (requiring different products)? Do you agree with the non-controversial opinion that indigenous Australians have superior vision to white people?

Everyone believes in race realism. It's only when it's about a few specific traits of a few specific groups that people deny it. And it's only about one specific organ of the human body (the most complex one), that somehow is completely identical for everyone.
There is absolutely randomness and variance in chess. And variance/randomness is important for any sport, that is what makes it exciting and worth playing. If there were no randomness then every game against the same team and players would be the same.

And anyway, sports are vastly more complicated than chess is. Just simply dribbling a basketball while bipedal walking is beyond the capability of replication by robot at the current moment. But a home computer from 20 years ago would beat >90% of the world in chess.
I'm not sure how jigsaws are usually modelled in maths. I feel like there should be a graph model? Perhaps each piece could be labelled and have 'dangling' half-edges that are coloured such that they can only be connected to the appropriate partner.

Then a two solution jigsaw would be a set of these pieces that reconstruct into two different labelled graphs.

Hmm ok I realise this is all very dumb, as it's the labelling (the image!) that is the tricky part here ...
They mention “high quality code” without defining it. I assume this is internally well defined?
I don't know. It's less of a waste than sporting events. And in person events are more engaging than online.
I did it once before I moved to another hosting provider. My approach was to use a static site generator (hugo[1]) in combination with github actions. Adding content, using git tag and your github action does the rest. Was pretty neat.

I just can not for the life of me understand the mentality of someone who themselves knows full well this isn’t a topic they are an expert in will jump into the middle of a conversation about it, spout nonsense and when they are corrected that what they are saying isn’t actually true chooses to double down on it rather than just accepting they had some bad information.

It’s just incredibly weird behaviour and yet, almost every time I’ve seen a conversation about Dart or Flutter on here for the past year or two I keep running into the EXACT SAME situation and made up stories like what you did today.
> Is cruise line A rescuing the passengers from cruise line B? I'd say yes.

IMO that's only true in line A's PR campaign, assuming they're adversarial enough to run with it.

In your analogy, the passengers are always "stuck on the island with no immediate way to get off" for at least 5 days, as they have no alternative way to get back during their planned stay. If B's cruise ship breaks down - and AFAIK in this case, "breaks down" doesn't mean the ship can't move, just that the risk of catastrophic failure during the trip crossed a preset threshold - that's more of an operational disruption. The stranded passengers are still safe and sound, they just need to wait for the next scheduled cruise to take them home.

The schedule bit matters IMO. It would be a rescue if the next scheduled ride would be way too late to help them and thus it had to be moved up to save their lives.
I live in the UK. In my experience only English people think they are interchangeable since they use it a lot implicitly.

But there's no emergency situation at the moment.
No, not perfectly, because your half-joked formula can have implications that are very much not universal. (In fact, it can also mean the opposite of what I wrote. Although, it can have a few interpretations which are interesting and productive beyond its close scope: among them, "discontent reveals flaws in the system".)

Whereas (contrary to some immediate interpretations of your formula), the position "candidates that appeal to the guts are disqualified from office" has strong grounds.
What's the suit situation here? Did SpaceX make two new suits for them to use on the way back, or are they using their Boeing suits to fly back?

I'd imagine the former, but genuinely curious this time.
Maybe it's not about processors at all, but about camera sensors, lasers, high-speed analog electronics, high-power semiconductor devices, etc. These are also really important parts of military gear.
The author identifies problems with a system measuring targets, but then all the proposals are about increasing the power and control of the system.

Perhaps the answer—as hippy sounding as it is—is to reduce the control of the system outright. Instead of adding more measures, more controls, which are susceptible to the prejudices of control, we let the system fall where it may.

This, to me, is a classic post of an academic understanding the failures of a system (and people like themselves in control of said system) but then not allowing the mitigation mechanisms of alternate systems to take its place.

This is one of the reasons I come to HN: to view the prime instigators of big-M Modern failure and their inability to recognize their contributions to that problem.
you probably got ab tested, are you in any way subacribed to their developer preview?
GameGift – Create personalised games as unique gifts for £5
I’ve been working on GameGift, a platform that lets you create personalised games as gifts for friends, family, or anyone special. Instead of giving typical gifts, GameGift allows you to customise game templates (like clicker, escape, and shooter games) with your own images and text, making it a fun, interactive, and unique gift.

Here’s the concept:

Choose from 3 game templates: Clicker, Escape the Punch, and Boat Shoot.
Customise the game with your own images, text, and messages.
Share the game via a URL as a personalised gift.
It’s quick, fun, and affordable, with each game priced at £5.

I’d love to hear what you think about the idea, the website, or anything that could be improved. I’m also looking for feedback on whether the customisation experience is smooth and how you’d see this fitting into your gift-giving process.
The irony in all of this is that it was a set of fortuitous events that saved the company from bankruptcy, and being yet another footnote on computing history.

After being on the green, not only they got back to their former selfs, they do anything to avoid running out again of the money fountain.
AFAIK in some countries people do eat dogs just fine.

In the western sphere, people don't, but that's a combination of an ick factor and there being plenty of alternatives far more efficient/sustainable (and I guess, tastier) than dogs.

And then, if you paid the right person enough (which may be very little, if you choose your supplier right), you could still get dog meat if you really wanted. Much like life, and for the same reasons, the market finds a way.
Also, they bought a fab, and by extension a bunch of knowledgeable employees who can work it and are eligible for UK security clearances.

Once the knowledge of the workers is gone then it would be really hard to spin something up in country, and being the UK we would likely be forced to buy stuff from the US (or go to the far east anyway). If you built a fab in country then you would probably have to get staff from an existing fab to help run it and iron out any issues and gradually switch them out for local staff.
The GC in particular is excessively slow. It's not a production implementation. I don't need JVM level GC engineering everywhere but it really is painful.

As opposed to what other system that can do a single transaction in any time frame without individual or organizational interdiction?
Take a look at http://www.ch-werner.de/LUCK.html . This site builds custom single-file Tcl executables for various architectures. It has a large selection of packages and you can choose which ones get included in the build.
E.g if you select tclhttpd to be included in the build and name the output file tcluck, you can then start the web server by running:
./tcluck tcluck/tclhttpd3.5/bin/httpd.tcl

This is still using Tcl8.6 though, it will take time for all these packages to be updated to work with Tcl9.0. I am actually running tclhttpd with Tcl9.0 myself, after making a handful of tweaks for compatibility.
CSV stopped making sense really fast when commas are needed for thousands’ grouping of numbers or decimals, and what the heck, I even name all my scripts with a starting comma (read that somewhere as a short productivity burst). Anyhow, all my text file shenanigans are tabbed, the infamous \t then needs to be correctly parsed in all scripts which is a hell lot easier.
The way things are going having any kind of chips is more valuable than whatever build process they use.

Same applies to maybe starting having again some kind of national OSes, and programming languages, not subject to export regulations.

This idea has been pursued several times in the past, and it always ends up producing lots of interesting academic results and no practical conclusions.

It's certainly an interesting perspective on the development of complex systems. The idea that an economy can be somehow overfitted to its own incentives and constraints I don't think is entirely new, cf the Beer Game. But as a general concept, it's certainly not something that usually finds its way into policy discussion, beyond some very specific talk about reshoring of certain critical industries.

However, I think the most important benefit of this perspective is going to be providing yet another counterargument against the Austrian economics death cult.
In a mildly embarrassing note for Boeing, astronauts to return on spacex dragon.
I'm pretty sure automattic, a for-profit company, uses the free plugin hosting service from wordpress.org too.
Besides elements that should be present, there are elements that should rather be absent; you don't want to grow potatoes in a soil rich in arsenic or lead.

IIRC, most analyzed samples of Moon regolith contain something that plants don't exactly like, but can tolerate. Some selection and / or genetic engineering may be required to produce plants that grow readily on regolith-based soils.
As an American, I can't help but feel like they just shrug off all these cases and do the minimum required by the EU, kinda sorta, while still screwing over the rest of the world (like with the app store and browser renderer). Wish the US had real consumer protections like Europe did.
Yep, you can do that, and yep, it gets slower.

That’s basically the tradeoff Apple made with their M series chips vs AMD/Intel which until recently have been chasing fast and narrow designs. Apple in contrast, has a crazy “wide” core aka it can issue and retire many more instructions per clock than basically any other mainstream CPU.
What use cases do you see that in? And do you mean throughput or latency is slow?
wouldn't it be much simpler to just mass

It would take someone mentally ill (i.e. "neurodivergent") to actually go beyond the routine and take drastic action to fix. Normal people don't go against what society deems normal. Normal people will lie to themselves rather than face the truth, and that's a good thing usually. Almost always is it better to be united in a less optimal path than divided. This is true for the individual as well as socirty.

However, in certain situations a society's path becomes so misdirected that its better to be alone than follow the group.
How about migrant diversity? I.e. i found netherland far more diverse than uk.
No, what a ridiculous thing to say. Storytelling in the present tense is not new.
Well the use of the phrase “too much” already implies less than optimal. A self fulfilling prophesy by definition ?
That’s not what happened at all. There’s non-profit and for profit entities have always been selerate. The non-profit didn’t train anything, it invested money in the for profit to “further the mission towards agi” what’s happening now is just the non-profit defeating in OpenAI and turning to other endevours. Which makes a lot of sense since they tried to cut off the head of the for profit entity to take control, o company would like to see that independent of if the specific investor trying to gain control is a non-profit entity or a large investor.
One of the postgresql client packages (posgres) is roughly 8 years old. That's how "client side" it ever was...
I don’t disagree with you there. The corporation / consumer power balance in the US is one of the worst things about the country in my opinion.
Interesting timing for me! Just a couple of days ago I discovered the work of biologist Olivier Hamant who has been raising exactly this issue. His main thesis is that very high performance (which he defines as efficacy towards a known goal plus efficiency) and very high robustness (the ability to withstand large fluctuations in the system) are physically incompatible. Examples abound in nature. Contrary to common perception evolution does not optimise for high performance but high robustness. Giving priority to performance may have made sense in a world of abundant resources, but we are now facing a very different period where instability is the norm. We must (and will be forced to) backtrack on performance in order to become robust. It’s the freshest and most interesting take on the poly-crisis that I’ve seen in a long time.
