Well HN articles should be a good mix between serious, concise & boring on one side and on the other hand easy to read articles like these.

While reading I still have some cpu cycles left to think about the broader context and how this applies to my own situation.
It is mostly a blog post. A usecase for a database that holds tables and rows is very rare in real world. I know noone who uses contacts app in their mobile phones. Access is already there with checkboxes, select inputs and everything for years. Noone uses.
No, not where should it start.

Whether that behaviour is acceptable is not the question. In my opinion it is not, but I don't think I should decide because a whole lot of things that are widely seen as very acceptable I would place under bad for the internet as well.

If you throw around an idea as strong as that of a "good netizen" I am much more interested in where it ends.

Are the Tor developers good netizens?
That's a fair concern but it seems the tech has matured a lot and it's at least as safe with maybe the dangers of unforeseen natural disasters like what happened with Fukushima.

Solar is still being held back by battery tech, at least for scaling properly from my limited understanding. Then there is the problem of efficiency in places with less sunlight like a lot of northern cities. I think it will definitely be the best option for sunny places once there is cheap and dense batteries.

That's literally what "senior engineer" is supposed to be doing according to what I hear are current industry norm, which makes as much sense as what your comment makes it sound. Basically a hidden management role, with all the responsibilities but none of the power.

Show HN: I created a SaaS tool for helping businesses, it's called Gapsly
Hi,

I recently launched Gapsly, a SaaS tool aimed at helping businesses identify and bridge operational gaps in their processes and increase their efficiency in their processes. After months of hard work, it’s live and (mostly) bug-free, but here's the thing: I’m having a tough time attracting traffic and converting visitors into customers. Struggling at the moment with backlinks too.

I’ve tried:

- SEO and optimizing the landing page
- Posting in forums and relevant communities
- Going over the backlinks directories and posting it there in the hope of a higher DA (but that might come in time)

Despite these efforts, user engagement and conversions are still really low. I’d love to hear from anyone who has faced (and hopefully overcome) similar issues. Any strategies, marketing channels, or growth hacks you’d recommend? If you’ve done a SaaS launch, what worked for you?

Open to any constructive feedback on the site, messaging, or general approach!

Find the tool here: https://gapsly.com

Thanks in advance for your help,
Nicolae
I like the idea of CLI-first. But then could the tooling make it simple & convenient to run the exact same configuration in a browser ? With the choice of either (a) a shell-like prompt, or (b) an auto-generated basic GUI with the appropriate input widgets ?

How can you think you the righteous and morally correct one in this conversation after writing something like this. owning nigge.rs might be distasteful to say the least but there is no domain name you could possibly rank above threats of physical violence.
That has nothing to do with my comment.

I don't care about who closed the last nuclear plant. I care that the Greens who are for the de-carbonization of the economy advocated for the removal of nuclear energy and because they needed more energy anyway, they simply decided with the government in power to buy it from Russian oligarchs instead.

They did not have to do this. They could have stopped building new nuclear plants, keep maintaining the ones they had until such a time as the PV and Wind production could replace all the power generated by the nuclear plants and then start decommissioning them.

But they followed ideology instead of logic and ended being at the mercy of Russia and had to scramble to fix that problem in the last few years when this could have been avoided.

In the meantime, they now import a lot of electricity from France which ironically is generating it with, you guessed it, nuclear power. How about that?

Does that sound like a good rational plan to you?

> All the big guys are hiring domain experts - serious brains, phd level, in some cases

I don't know where this myth had originated, and perhaps it was true at least at some point, but you just have to consider that all the recent major advances in datasets had to do with _unsupervised_ reward models, synthetic, generational datasets, and new advanced alignment methods. The big labs _are_ hiring serious PhD level researchers, and most of these are physicists, Bayesians of many kind and breed, not "domain experts." However, perception matters a lot these days; some labs, I won't point, but OpenAI is probably the biggest offender, simply cannot control themselves. The fact of the matter is they LOVE including the public evals in their finetuning, as it makes them appear stronger in the "benchmarks."

Most products in a UK corner shop are of poor quality. I wouldn't touch their sandwiches with a bargepole.

Contrast to Japan where you can get a fresh, good quality, tasty meal from the fridges and the hot cabinet. The 7/11 fruit smoothies are great.

The appropriate comparison to the UK is probably Greggs, and Greggs is still losing that battle.

I honestly think that they were just too big.

People think of Intel as just doing CPUs, but they had a massively broad impact, from scientific computing libraries to compilers, to plenty of other hardware offerings. It's not actually obvious they needed to jump onto mobile, GPU, etc, they just needed to continue to have the best processors around. They don't any more, at least not obviously.

They can 100% survive as the second-best US-based processor producer, esp if they focus and do well, but they cannot be as large as they are and be number 2. Intel has 5x the employees of AMD.

It's worth investing in learning how to deliver feedback. If you are a manager or team lead, this is one of the most important skills you need to have. It's also useful if you are not leading.

For me, the best framework for learning how to deliver feedback was Refound's Accountability Dial. It breaks down stages of delivering feedback and allows you to comfortably escalate if the feedback does not lead to desired changes. You can read about it for free on the internet.
Do you have a cite on that?

Off the top of my head, no, but I do have a degree in astronomy and an interest going back to childhood.
Your sarcasm was factually incorrect to the point where it did not make sense. First, you chose the wrong tech for it. As a matter of fact, the only survivor from that group is in active contact with modern civilization - even being personally informed about certain space launches. She isn’t on TikTok, of course, but she is not different from many other people.

Second, they didn’t live the life they wanted. They were refugees fighting for their survival in a very harsh environment. It‘s ethically questionable to say that they have chosen this life over TikTok.

I was listening to the recent interviews with Sam Altman and the Anthropic guy who are familiar with current research and they are very not like that. It's more wow we've got so much to build, AGI in a couple of years. (For it seems to me a rather limited version of AGI - more can code well rather than can fix your plumbing.)

Dollywood's Mountain Myth-Making
My feeling is that postwar Japan was a chaotic time and empowered a lot of crazy risk taking individuals along with the old zaibatsu who became keiretsu. As the Shouwa era progressed Japanese society became more risk averse and that most of Japanese industry now succeeds on the creative seeds of Postwar Japan and the rigidity born through the structure that came after.
Not to mention that this is paid by insurance in many countries which means there is little incentive for individuals to shop around.

Can you say which Epyc processor? And in what benchmark it was worse than which old intel processor?
Very very cool, but only makes it more disappointing that you can't actually use this for anything innovative, except in the Apple-approved format & use cases.

Can't upgrade any of the internals, doesn't run Linux easily, no way to use any of the internal components separately, or rebuild them into a different form factor. Imagine being able to directly mount these to VESA behind a dashboard. I have an old M1 Mac Mini I'd love to use as a NAS, but the disk is slightly too small and you can't upgrade it, so it's just useless to me instead.

Impressive to see Apple match the Pi for idle power & efficiency, but deeply frustrating to see them takes the exact opposite design philosophy.
True. Flagship smartphones, and some rugged models do have a pressure sensor.
The PhD folks will steal from Stackoverflow and leetcode solutions. Just another laundering buffer.

Hardly any PhD has the patience or skill for that matter to code robust solutions from scratch. Just look at PhD code in the wild.
> How to be happy

funerals do have their protocols grouped by culture, but i think that there's unfortunately no recipe or protocol for how to be happy. to me it seems like that's one of the holy grails for humanity.

maybe you have to reframe this problem. not "how to be happy" and rather, "what exactly is happiness and should the goal be for it to be a constant state?".
Correct. Refcell is also an area where you can happily create footguns.

If you'd like to avoid the guardrails, you still need to be disciplined.
But they do have Fabs. Fabs are hard.
Even if it was cooler, say 15 degrees, going somewhere with more daylight hours is really great at that time of year.

The ones "forming on their own" would be essentially brown dwarfs. As myself and others have said, the line is fuzzy. However, to form on their own there needs to be sufficient density for them to coalesce. It is not a hard limit, but tends to mean only objects larger than about 10 Jupiter masses.

I can't say for all states but here in Massachusetts we have an annual tax free weekend where sales tax (6.25%) is not applied for "most retail items of up to $2,500, purchased in Massachusetts for personal use" (https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massachusetts-sales-tax-ho...).

Also groceries never have a sales tax in Massachusetts but, again, that varies by state.
One of the reasons for the reforms was to "go back to the old roots", because the Greeks peformed some rituals differently from Russians, and the opinion was that the Russian rituals were "corrupted" but, interestingly, some of the "restored" canon was actually later Greek innovations while the Russian Church preserved the older ways. For example, they started to cross themselves with 3 fingers instead of 2 fingers in Constantinople only in the 13th century. In my opinion, an unnecessary and misguided reform.
The Election Wasn't a Realignment or a "Mandate"
I submit this piece because of the matter of reliability in reporting. From and around November 6, a recurring keyword seems to have been "landslide"¹ - also definitely stuck with many people. It puzzles me a few days later to read, on Volokh and from Somin:

> When all votes are fully counted, it looks like Trump will have won the popular vote by 1.5 points and have 1-4 point margins in the 7 swing states. That's not the kind of large margin of victory typically associated with realignment elections in which large blocs of voters shift from one party to another (e.g. 1932 or 1980). It's actually a narrower victory than Bush won in 2004 or Obama in 2012. Few would argue either of those wins was a realignment or a mandate. Biden in 2020 won the popular vote by a bigger margin (about 4.5 points) and had nearly the same electoral vote margin (306 for Biden in 2020; 312 for Trump this year). For those keeping score, I wrote at the time that Biden didn't have a mandate either. Trump's popular vote margin may actually be a little smaller than Hillary Clinton's was in 2016 (yes, obviously, she lost the electoral college). // House and Senate results are consistent with the above. The GOP will have only a narrow House majority (probably about 220-215). The Republicans gained only 4 seats in the Senate, despite a very favorable map, and actually lost 4 of 5 swing-state Senate races, despite Trump winning all five of those states on the top of the ballot. // [...] It is true there has been a bigger shift in the Hispanic vote than elsewhere. Exit polls suggest Trump lost it by only about 53-45 (some polling data shows a weaker performance for Trump). However, that means he got about the same share of the Hispanic vote as….. George W. Bush in 2004—the last time the GOP ran a presidential campaign with this highly favorable background conditions

The general quality of the press still has an issue. The problem of acquiring information reliably and efficiently remains important in all senses, including encumbrance.

All Mac devices still come with a headphone jack - and they are even good for higher impedance headphones (I use a 32ohms DT770 on my Macbook/MacMini).

For mobile devices, removing the headphone jack was not well received and it annoyed me too when it happened. Last year I made the switch to airpod pros, and I think I was the last person on earth to switch to BT for headphones - never looking back. So much better not to have a cable and untangled it.

Yes, indeed, at the level of abstraction in which everything is syntax without any semantics, then everything is the same.

Require more than two parties, and have proportional representation.

If team "east side" and team "west side" are butting up against each other with the hope of the 50%±1 of the population behind them all being on their side, but suddenly one or both of them has to face factions behind them splitting off — well, it's like how often the US Democrats are upset about the US Green Party "splitting the vote" (do US Republicans have the same reaction to the Libertarians? Libertarians barely get in the news here on the other side of the Atlantic).

I think that without proportional representation, that just pushes the half-way point further from the new party. Can anyone who has actually studied this confirm or refute? I'm in danger of LARPing XKCD here: https://xkcd.com/793/

I’ve had trouble verifying that these chips still have reliability problems after the microcode updates. There seem to be a lot of anecdotes, but pc manufacturers are reporting normal rates of warranty return. It’s possible long term reliability is worse but it’s pretty easy to stress test a CPU.

Anyway, would love to hear if anyone has some decent quality data about these chips reliability.

How I should launch my project?
Hey, Thanks for having the interest . So, i have previously worked on side projects. But never published it widely.
I worked so hard on a project since last 6 months.

When i try to get inspiration from other, there are too many suggestions and every suggestions are different.

I am thinking of launching my project on ProductHunt next week.

It is a CV and Motivation letter generator and analyser.

Also, can help user to prepare for job interview.

The only thing on my mind was, how to help a groupe of people by saving their time.

I am open to suggestions if you have any?
