> They're a rare example of a company that started very self service and remained that way while growing to significantly more complex client bases

From my experience, anything with a self-serve option tends to be a better product.

It sets up all sorts of incentives (Have functioning support! Fix bugs! Have accurate documentation! Build understandable features!) that disappear when you remove "have to support self serve customers" from the equation.

Then all those nice things disappear into a morass of professional services custom implementations and big customer feature chasing.
> The JPEG XL reference encoder (cjpegxl) produces, by default, a well-compressed image that is indistinguishable from (or, in some cases, identical to) the original. In contrast, other image formats typically have an encoder with which you can select a quality setting, where quality is not really defined perceptually.

Nice one, it's working well. In my conversation I mentioned that I am not yet interested in having a customer service agent for my website at, but I would like to have one for personal use. The bot said that this would be possible and so we scheduled a demo call for later this week. Note: the bot said that a calendar scheduler would appear but it didn't, so I had to prompt the bot to take my email address, otherwise it would not have been able to follow through on the demo appointment.

I'm excited about the potential for personal conversational AI bots. What I really want is to build a personal RAG archive based on conversations with my bot, plus other media too. The bot should have excellent recall and insight into the growing RAG database. The bot must be a good conversational partner, probing and entertaining. It should be possible to modify and enhance the bot's training over time so that it becomes progressively more attuned to its collaborative objectives.
It's usable as a tool for quick communication or reading instructional text.

But don't expect to be able to use it to read actual literature or, back to the topic, subtitling a TV series or a YouTube video without misunderstanding.

Yes, the updates treated like a DB transaction are the main draw of Nix and I agree they're nice. However, Fedora and recently Manjaro started offering the so-called "immutable" versions that do nearly the same: you can install and delete and do whatever you like but you also have to explicitly opt in to commit those changes to your bootable image. If you don't do it they're just discarded after you reboot.

That's quite awesome and saves me from 99% of the problem you described... without having to learn the Nix's weird language or be willing to read cryptic error messages and get roasted on Reddit for not knowing them by heart.

I'd argue that there is 0 evidence so far that there will be a "post-smartphone internet", at least in the near/mid term.

Sure, those wearables may find niche use cases, but Zuckerberg definitely believed that the "Metaverse" (god I hate that term) would be the Next Big Computing Platform, as significant as the switch from desktops and laptops to smartphones. That has certainly not happened, and lots of people, myself included, still feel that all of these other devices are at best a "oh, that's cool" for a bit before ending up in a drawer somewhere, or at worst an undesired annoyance.

> I believe the discussion about text rendering is referring only to a line of very cheap TVs that do not in fact have RGB pixels.

It also comes up with very expensive OLED monitors, which do usually have true RGB or WRGB pixels, but their subpixels are usually not arranged in the standard horizontal RGB stripe which breaks most implementations of subpixel font rendering. With a sufficiently high pixel density it doesn't matter, but with the ~108ppi of a 27" 1440p OLED monitor the text rendering can be quite visibly worse than a 27" 1440p LCD.

Me too, but it’s increasingly uncommon.

Even the gamers I know don’t upgrade as often as they used to.

I get some pseudo-science (but it is funny, ancient aliens and quantum bullshit), a little bit of politics (but like, links to the Atlantic or whatever, so nothing too offensive), and lots of gaming stuff.

Overall, I really do not like Facebook (I’m only on there because some relatives are). I just think their algorithm is somewhat effective. I think I’ve managed to get them to label me as somebody with strong political opinions but low emotional valence toward politics, by marking some political posts or pseudo-political posts as offensive to me, but never allowing political content to “dwell” in premium screen space in the app.

Edit: I say I think their algorithm is effective, although I should say, I’m pretty sure I did trick it. In fact I’m very concerned about politics but I make sure to only angstily read articles I disagree with in Firefox browser with lots of tracking protection on.
A human may not technically need all that but the humans who do exist in our society do.

A measurement of a hypothetical human foraging in the bush is a useful one but a much more useful one is the energy expenditure to keep a human alive in our society.
If you have a given velocity but no given starting position, then position is the missing constant. If you measure some acceleration and time, you can integrate that into a delta-velocity, but not an absolute velocity.

You can measure your speed against the CMB as an "absolute velocity" (in your local observable universe), but for two locations that are a significant fraction of the width of the observable universe apart, "zero movement" relative to the CMB in each of those locations, will not be zero movement relative to each other, due to the expansion of space in between.

Disagree. Those are two very different roles - the most successful enterprise AE's are specialists and most of the time aren't going to have the generalist skillset or mindset that is needed to build a business from scratch.
Show HN: Built MRRTracker in 4 Days, Hit #4 on Product Hunt, Seeking Feedback
Hey HN!

Last week, I launched MRRTracker.app, a macOS toolbar app to track MRR easily, without needing to open Stripe’s dashboard every time. You can already access MRR on Stripe’s site, but I thought it’d be handy to have it right on the toolbar for instant updates.

Built it in just 4 days, and it surprisingly hit #4 on Product Hunt! Grateful for the support, but I’d love to make it better with input from this community.

Any feedback, feature ideas, or general thoughts would be awesome. Thanks, HN!

I am using a pair of 43", 4k TVs. The 2x43" configuration has been my working setup for about a decade. I love it.

Anything bigger than 43" diagonal causes neck pain because it is too tall.

I understand three 32" TVs also work.

I don't think this is true because a proof does more than state a conclusion. It establishes a true path from some premises to that conclusion. Sometimes that path continues.

For example if you had a general constructive proof that there were infinitely many prime numbers it should be a simple matter to alter it a bit and prove the twin prime conjecture wouldn't it?

In general a constructive proof and a non-constructive proof of some fact (say proof by contradiction) are fundamentally different in terms of where you can go with the proof.

Eating less food and keeping your body from knowing it seems to be a big part of why it works.

On GLP-1 agonists, you don’t get nearly the counterbalancing reduction in energy expenditure you usually see with caloric restriction. Your body keeps happily releasing lipid stores, assuming they will be replenished, but they aren’t. Hunger hormones remain untriggered, cortisol stays low, and insulin keeps shuttling glucose into cells to be burned.

If you aren’t metabolically deranged, your body does this anyway. But many people have totally decompensated metabolically due to excess energy intake over time, and essentially cannot recover without some kind of treatment.

GLP-1 is just the beginning — future compounds will do a better job maintaining muscle mass, for example. But this is looking like an absolute miracle, and once patent protection ends (especially for oral formulations), we’re going to be living in a very different world health-wise.

Born too late to die in infancy, born too early to see immortality.

This does remind me of the superconductor stuff tho - I’m too excited - it will be interesting to see what focused clinical studies show us here, particularly around GLP-1’s effects on addiction.

Your Noise, My Song (2023)
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), whether from plants or animals, are most susceptible to oxidative damage because they have multiple double bonds that can react with oxygen. Each double bond creates a potential site for oxidation.

Societies consuming high amounts of oxidized oils (repeatedly heated cooking oils, whether plant or animal) show increased rates of cardiovascular disease

Mediterranean populations consuming fresh, minimally processed olive oil show better cardiovascular outcomes

Populations with high fresh fish consumption (like traditional Japanese diets) show better health outcomes despite high PUFA intake, likely due to immediate consumption and minimal oxidation

Modern food processing/storage methods increase exposure to oxidized fats

Fast food consumption correlates with higher intake of oxidized fats due to repeated oil heating

Socioeconomic factors influence exposure - processed foods with oxidized fats are often cheaper and more accessible

Oxidation status of fats may be as important as the traditional saturated/unsaturated classification

And eventually if you can't afford to become unemployed to do it or pay full time caregivers, you need to move them to some kind of care home where there is minor scaling effect. Being housed together, the residents can share caregivers since most do not need continuous help.

A common arrangement is a board and care home with about 4 residents and 2 caregivers who work mostly non-overlapping shifts, and one sleeps onsite to (hopefully) be able to handle overnight care needs.

A larger place can scale a bit better. E.g. 10-20 residents can have 5-10 staff on various shifts. But some staff could be cooks or handle cleaning while others focus more on the residents' needs. And at this level of staffing, they can manage to have an overnight shift with someone who remains awake to keep an eye on things, as well as probably having other(s) sleep onsite to be on call to help with bigger events.
