I encourage you to be more straight forward with what it is you are implying.

These doctors were, and are, actually reducing profit by not treating illnesses and instead prescribing things such as diet, exercise, and stress reduction.

And yes, doctors do that. All of them. If you're obese, the first thing out of their mouth is weight management. And yes, this is typically a good thing. But it does mean that lots of genuine issues are missed because any problem is attributed to weight. When in actuality they actually do have a tumor in their colon and no, they aren't just eating bad. And then they die when it was easily preventable.

To believe we live in a body positive world is to be deeply delusional. At the absolute most extreme, you have people asking not to be ridiculed for their weight. There are almost 0 people who legitimately think being fat is good for health. I would say 0, but then I remember some people think the Earth is flat.

All that is to say: yes, we know being fat is bad. Yes, even fat people know being fat is bad. Yes, doctors often prescribe not medicine to treat obesity. And yes, this often leads to missing genuine issues. And no, before anyone asks, I'm not a fatty, I'm actually quite thin. Not that I think it matters, but people are vain so it might matter to you.

If this comment feels very ungenerous to you, that's because you have forced me to make many assumptions about what you're trying to say. You can avoid that by not speaking as though you're an oracle in a medieval fantasy movie.

And, before I hear some nonsense about how you have no biases and you just want to conduct a thought experiment - uh, no. You are implying something, and we both know it. You do have an opinion on this topic. It's best to just let it out or say nothing at all. Otherwise, I might assume your opinion is dumb.
Taylor Lorenz is also 40 and spoiled. Not a young adult, she's middle-aged.

I agree with your sentiment though. I just want to point this out because Taylor is a dogshit human being.
A PR that moves the needle is worth 2-4 weeks or more. Small improvements or fixes can be handled by the team on the defense rotation.
Speaking of, at some point even middle class families could afford to live in a hotel year long. Are these days coming back ? What happened for that to become uneconomical for a while ? (Is it a symptom of the middle class getting much smaller ?)
Well, I'm using their tool in mine (hint is in one of the Easter Eggs... or just look at what's powering the product analytics ;)). So it's an ouroboros of open-source :D
Some tiagra 10 speed set up with an 8 speed cassette but its a simple enough cup and cone loose bearing design like most rear hubs made. Still though if you leave it in the rain like me the bearings will dry out and howl when the wheel is spinning, requiring new grease and bearings (since they are cheap enough to replace instead of clean and inspect).
Open-source 70B model surpass GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 on Arena Hard
Not only is he wrong, but folks with his worldview consistently ignore the dramatic improvement in what it means to be alive today vs any time before.

It's incredible how much purchasing power the average middle class person has when you look at what you're buying and what you're able to buy compared to previous generations. The power and functionality of consumer devices like computers and TVs to the fuel efficiency and cleanliness of transportation options have all drastically improved, but people tend to become numb to how amazing things are very quickly. Magic becomes mundane in days or weeks or months, which is really sad.

It also completely ignores how valuable it is to have a mobile supercomputer in our pocket, wirelessly and globally connected to every other computer, with access to the sum of human knowledge. To not factor this stuff in is to completely skew any real perspective of how far we've come.

There are people who are excited to see global poverty and child mortality plummet, and there are those who whine about anecdotes and artificial metrics. It's true that houses are less affordable, but there was no reality in which earnings were ever going to keep up with the housing bubble which is fueled by an entirely different set of perverse incentives.

TL;DR: yes, things are pretty good, actually. And trending towards better every day.
I read many similar instances when I was doing the historical research into this. It's true of any high power radio system.

They did some truly horrendous studies on rabbits.
Your most starred repo is inferior to a shell one-liner lol. Talk about pot calling the kettle black. Just use the system dict, shuf, grep, and head.

It’s bad form to badmouth someone’s earnest work for sure. I wouldn’t do it normally since I think it’s nice that you actually did something. But if you’re going to sit in a glass house and throw stones you should expect some back.

Fortunately, my house is an underground burrow so I can throw stones with impunity. As ugly as it is to do.

Something along these lines. Something with Javascript underneath. Probably React front-end.

Someone else had the right idea at looking at Linkedin and seeing what people are hiring for, but it would be difficult to become an FTE at a large company. You want somewhere willing to hire you from three months of study. One good bet is a startup that has not gotten angel/seed, but not VC funding yet, as they can't afford to pay market rates even for an SWE of average skill. Another is to work for a company that does consulting, as it is low commitment all around - they already have a place they can bill you for three months, and the billed company is getting you and a few others for three months, and at the end of that will keep whoever worked out and bounce whoever didn't. The bigger the "consulting" company you get into the better, it might be surprising how easy it can sometimes be to get in them after three months of study (although maybe not in 2022).

As others said, you have better options than these if your timeline is longer than three months.
Show HN: Kaomoji.ai – AI-powered Japanese emoticon generator
Hey HN!
I've built Kaomoji.ai, an AI-powered Japanese emoticon (kaomoji) generator. Here's what it does:

Input any emotion or scenario in your language
AI generates multiple relevant kaomoji options
Click to copy and use anywhere

Why I made this:

Simplify kaomoji creation
Offer personalized expressions
Bridge language gaps in online communication

It's free to use. I'd love to get your feedback!
Try it out: https://kaomoji.ai
Try https://activitywatch.net/. Free, open-source.

Plus extensions for Chrome and VSCode: https://docs.activitywatch.net/en/latest/watchers.html

It tracks how much time you spend per oppenned file, URL, window, etc.

Generates daily stats.
Seems good, but regular gmail (google auth) is not working. Is there any specific way to get signed up?
Oh thank you for the info, I’m not sure where I got my misinfo from! Presumably a podcast from the early days of the release.
Humans too, for the most part, until very recently.
Starting a new consulting company is the typical way a team moves to a new work context together. This makes it simple for an organization to engage the team: there's but a single negotiation and no responsibility for assigning contributor tasks and compensation in a way that makes each team member happy.

Good luck.

oh it's not an issue for me, I've been suicidal since I was 12, but don't have the guts to off myself. a few years ago I gave up entirely and decided to wait it out the long way, but the sooner something takes me out, the better. but thank you for the concern :-)
Both of them sound scammy. Vanity domains and cheap TLDs can be visually attractive but also inherently signify that you can't afford a .com commercial TLD. .com domains come with a prestige status, but you can make it look suspicious by creating a long drawn-out name (myathenaai sounds a lot scammier than athena.com).

You should be careful making broad conclusions about things that might not be causally related. The startup scene has a habit of using anecdotal experience as hard evidence of some big takeaway that's often not even true. I won't claim to know the situation any better than you do, but if you were a late-stage startup I would give you the same advice r/domains did.
Barrier to entry, if it's still like when I looked into it, which was many years ago.

My friend was trying to get me into it. Sending crypto or paypal payments to random people is sketchy, and that's just to get started without mentioning the hardware/software side.
"Don't be evil," from the very beginning, actually meant "focus on revenue more than profit for the time being."
Nice. I'd also suggest moving the spencer patent further down since it came several years later then the frequency allocation.

Will it ever though? Is this a goal?
Reasons for short lifetimes:

* there is no robust revocation mechanism, so just minimizing the validity of a compromised cert is the most effective - and technically simple - tool. OCSP is not viable for myriad reasons discussed over the years. OCSP stapling is optional and browsers have to consider it such explicit (opt in) policies.

* extended lifetime means rolling certificates is a complex ceremony that means rapid response is off the table, and can take companies days if not weeks to do.

* following from that: long lived certs also breaks distrust of CAs as they (or site owners) return with “we can’t perform the task we agreed to because we’ll break our customers” (CAs often fail to understand that their primary customers are end users not site owners).
Ah, weird! We can ask our publisher. This HN post was a surprise (Chis & I didn’t put it up) so we weren’t prepared.
from your point of view, they're wasting their time and effort. from their point of view, they'd rather fail than do unpaid work for you.
It's not surprising that Cloudflare both thinks it has no obligation to do anything to protect property owners, even when the infringement is blatant, and is also fighting an order from a court. They see themselves as above the law, as is evidenced by their desire to redefine words like "hosting" by fiat and via a huge quarrel of lawyers.

I started having a huge problem with them ages ago when I reported that they were hosting a Bank of America phishing site. They took no action, and when pressed, they said that they couldn't take action because they needed to protect the site owners' free speech. Imagine that! Fraud, even when it's 100% obvious and blatant, is protected by free speech!

Right now, for example, a phishing site is hosted via Cloudflare at "schwabs-wild dot com". Cloudflare replied to a complaint about it in less than a minute and a half to say:

"We were unable to confirm phishing at the URL(s) provided."

Visiting the phishing site shows a site that's clearly trying to pretend to be Charles Schwab and that asks for a person's social security number as part of the login!

So are Cloudflare employees so dumb that they can't tell that this clearly is NOT legitimate, and are they so quick that they respond to complaints in literally a minute and a half, or has Cloudflare automated their responses for complaints like these because they've already gotten so many of them?

HN has a lot of Cloudflare users who like Cloudflare, so sometimes comments like these get downvoted, but I genuinely wonder how even CF fans could justify CF not only hosting blatant phishing sites like this, but also how anyone could justify ignoring complaints about this illegal activity. They clearly will continue to do it until there's more pressure, whether Charles Schwab has to contact them directly or there's a court order from a court they care about (certainly not a Moldovan one).

Cloudflare wants to pretend they're doing good for the world by offering things like DNS-over-https, wanting everyone to use it and telling us to just trust them when they say they won't do anything nefarious with the data that's made available to them, but so long as they pick and choose their judicial jurisdictions, why would the rest of the world want to trust them?
Can recommend Glitch. A fun singleplayer parkour game with a story.
Curious what protocol you would use, or how you would do it differently? Are there small enhancements to the existing protocol you would do? Genuine open question for the sake of learning.
The talent follows the money. Consider what was hottest during the 2000s-2010s tech boom, startups offering free services with the value proposition of eventual data collection for ads.

Maybe also look at value instead of revenue, in terms of public market caps or private acquisitions. At least Facebook's $1.48T market cap is derived from ads.
I think I gave the best answer I can with the information you offered. You won’t find any shortcut. If you have marketable skills already then you look for a job. If not I doubt three months trying to learn anything will help much. Not enough time to get real expertise, certainly not enough to impress an employer.

AI has almost nothing to do with the recent layoffs. Interest rates, past over-hiring, and propping up stock prices drive the layoffs.

You can try to jump on the AI bandwagon and ride that bubble out but without experience in the field I think you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting a job in AI.
I don't get why some people get so worked up about bezels. I like being able to hold my devices without accidental inputs, and to me they look better anyway.

I wouldn't mind 3cm wide bezels and accordingly larger batteries.
That's not at all what's happening. I don't think the MIC invests heavily in producing false-flag events.

But they do evidently invest heavily in PR and "think tank" activities to drum up support, including misconstruing harmless events as national security threats.
Can you please stop using HN primarily for political and ideological battle? You've been doing it a lot, and we ban accounts that do this—regardless of what they're battling for or against. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

This sounds like someone confusing UX for the underlying system. Sure, AI can make it all seamless to the user. But in the example used, of an AI UX that works with the user and then handles everything seamlessly in the background... there still are data silos and systems in that background.

It also doesn't address exactly how these AI agents get built and maintained. Are we back to large internal IT dev orgs who build and maintain them? Or is it delivered from a vendor (in other words, SaaS)?

Sure, pricing and UX are absolutely going to have large changes. But that doesn't mean the underlying systems and delivery mechanisms differ.
If that’s disturbing, see African wild dogs and hyenas.

That said, I think the majority of prey is killed before consumed (say >65%). Big cats are used to suffocating or biting necks. It’s rather clean, compared to other animals even bears. There is an unlucky percentage, but the general rule is probably killing the prey first. The examples that I mentioned is because dogs and hyenas aren’t powerful enough to kill big prey like big cats. The hunt seems very brutal, but the duration of suffering might be limited: the whole prey is fully consumed within minutes. The prey is exhausted initially, hyenas then tear it apart from areas around intestine or below that. Massive shock and bleeding.

Show HN: DummyIDP – Test SAML SSO and SCIM Directory Sync
We heard from people (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41674109#41675409) a while back that there's demand for a lightweight SAML testing tool.

So we made one!

DummyIDP sends real SAML/SCIM messages to your app – just like Okta or Entra would. But it's radically simple. All of the settings are on the same page. You don't even need to create an account. It's just ready to go.

You can test IDP- initiated SAML login. You can test SP- initiated SAML logins. You can provision or deprovision users or edit their permissions. You can test just about everything you could reasonably expect your enterprise customers to do.

Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2EMzbJhVag

It's a free and open source tool. (See: https://github.com/ssoready/dummyidp)

We hope you find it useful.
Sorry, I may should not used the term Modern, Lets say the foundation is newer and more optimized than from the Original Minecraft server. Mojang developers have strict deadlines and do not care about performance (like basicly any big Studio today). This results in bad ugly code which only purpose it is to work nothing more. Minecraft was created 2009 btw
That's fair: even if their team has a problem with PR size, this doesn't have all that much to do with the pattern the article describes.
What's worse is that "there's just nothing left to build anymore". There's tons of work that needs to be done in the real economy (infrastructure repair and upgrades, housing, especially infill), but can't be, because the asset economy is much more profitable. Everything seems useless because it's not being built to use, it's being built to inflate equity "mystery box" values.
This actually didn't do away with my concern. I'm much more concerned now.

If it helps, keep in mind most medical issues don't kill you. They just lower your quality of life, sometimes a lot. So, if you've decided to stick it out, you might as well try to live the best life you can. Nobody wants to be chronically fatigued, or have bathroom troubles, or lose their hair, or whatever.
You almost don't have to snoop for details to have a good guess at what happened. If the acquisition announcement is the first time in a year or more that you're hearing from this company and they omit the sales price, you can bet this isn't the exit most parties wished for. Although by this stage the founder(s) is probably happy to find a buyer who will retain their team.
Everything seems to be going in this direction. We were recently looking for someone to clear out insects and other pests from our property, and every one of them tries to steer you to a very expensive "plan" where you're billed monthly. We looked around for a long time for a veterinarian where there were more actual vet and vet tech staff than there were billing staff. We were recently referred to an orthodontist for my kid, and right from the start they were on us like vultures about their various "payment plans."

I feel like as the years go by, more and more of my cognitive cycles are spent trying to avoid scams and predatory businesses.
> Which energy source has stricter safety and security regulations than nuclear?

A better question is why nuclear needs that much regulation, it's all just political difficulties. Nuclear technology itself don't need this much.
I will give it a try, Thanks for this project. The performance of pure vanilla server jar is so bad. Thats one thing I wish mojang would improve. I know new chunk generation is multithread at least. I also wish they'd officially support some basic control for SMP servers. Something as basic as areas defined by two corner coordinates and basic permissions like place, break, interact. Just a basic config file is fine I can manage the requests/updates ot it using other tools - or a simple commandline utilities in game to ops. Something that lets me not have to always only use an excluse whitelist. I know Paper/waterfall and the others have plugsins for this but theres just something nice about staying pure vanilla. Ive been keep servers alive for a long time now.
Even a light wind with a giant sail area is dangerous. An empty 20ft shipping container weighs about two tons. If it's hanging from an airship and the wind causes it to shift even a foot it'll kill you dead if it hits you. If it hit a light frame building it would bust right through a wall. It would also easily knock down a non-reinforced cinder block wall.

A cargo airship would lowering cargo would essentially be an incredibly dangerous crane. The sail area of the airship makes it far more dangerous than lowering external cargo with a helicopter.
A lot of predators will do this because they want to get those calories in their bellies fast, before some other creatures come and chase them off. They'll often eat certain organs first because of their high nutrient content. If the prey is dead or alive doesn't matter so long as it can't injure them or run off.
That doesn't answer the question. I asked for, and I quote, "any particular non-trivial fraction of engineering talent has been wasted on ad algorithms, or that those are the "best and brightest", or that those people would have been doing other useful work if the ads didn't exist".

Your inability to provide evidence is suggestive that the evidence does not exist.

The title's kind of confusing bait; the actual interest seems to be:

> The new findings are an important expansion of the kinds of data that can be extracted from skulls and hairs from the past, the researchers said.

> "Now we know that we can reconstruct complete mitochondrial genomes from single hair fragments from lions that are more than 100 years old," de Flamingh said.

i.e. they had the skulls along with the written record of the attack and their shooting, other fauna in the area, etc. and so were able to do the novel hair analysis and then verify it against that.
Well for one, the topics covered on here are far broader than just startups. And for two, a lot of the ones that are startups are actually interesting, they're trying to solve actual problems. In fact, putting aside the incompetence, this one I would say falls into that category.

That said, not all ideas are created equal, and IMO at least, this one is not, and what makes it fall short is so obvious that I have trouble treating it as a serious proposition on the part of the people behind it, let alone one worth putting money into.
