They don't want feedback. They want you to listen and obey. It doesn't actually matter if things are wrong, so long as in the moment the boss thinks they aren't, then to him they aren't since appearances trump reality. The boss would prefer you didn't disturb that. The result is sometimes things just blow up spectacularly later on down the track but "shou ga nai".

The compensation that makes the dysfunction more bearable is the culture of "gaman" which is deeply, deeply ingrained from a young age. It's normal for them to just suck it up and tolerate shit they don't like. It's a way of life. For everything thing else there is "shou ga nai" which often translates to "it can't be helped" and many Westerners think it's just Japanese people giving up too easily and don't really get it, but it comes from the Buddhist philosophy of accepting things as they are.

That'd be perfect for me to be honest. We have a Tesla Model Y which we can road trip in. I'm just looking for a slick, efficient commuter. I normally only charge my Model 3 to ~60%, which is ~150 miles of range anyways.
What a bad take. Unwarranted tracking is the waste, privacy protection is a great thing.

Stop complaining about strong privacy protection and blame websites that work around the law and force users to submit to total surveillance.

This is tiring.
It has yet to be seen if this can truly be generalized and if such an analogy holds.

Go is a game constrained by an extremely narrow set of rules. Brute forcing potential solutions and arriving at something novel within such a constrained ruleset is an entirely different scenario than writing or film-making which occur in an almost incomprehensibly larger potential "solution" space.

Perhaps the same thing will eventually happen, but I don't think the success of AI in games like Go is particularly instructive for predicting what can happen in other fields.

> The first mistake the developer made, was that he wanted to create a different user experience between keyboard and mouse.

No, they wanted to make them the same. It's just to give a blind person the same experience as a seeing person requires different things because they operate differently for obvious reasons. For example, a blind person can't see when an animation has finished. They expect that menu to be available once they've triggered it. However, seeing people see the dropdown appearing and then go to use it once it's ready.

> Don't try to be smart when it comes to accessibility.

In all seriousness, considering the state of accessibility as is, I think going outside the box isn't trying to be smart. It's actually being smart. The BBC frontend team is probably at the forefront of making high-traffic websites extremely usable.

Like, as postliberals the CCP and Russia do not like the West not because they were once dominant empires that conquered the world, in fact they respect that. They hate the West because of their belief in democracy, in diversity, in individualism and the belief in human rights.
That’s always been the argument, but in the end, everyone wants to know how many visitors they have. I know, there are trackless solutions, but you have to admit the reality: The audience of website administrators who want to use non-tracking analytics is a subset of the audience for recompilation of kernels on Arch Linux.

Also I’m quite sure your website is not ranked as high on Google if you don’t use GA.
this helps you, but not the 450M people living in the EU.

Almost: most of the history of physics is based on detectors being sensitive to things people didn't even know existed. Fits and starts based on happy accidents. The teleology of scientific progress is a myth. The most famous example is of course the Galilean moons.

My favorite quote on this topic is "Why should I bother to read something you didn't bother to write?"

Especially when you're talking about fiction and reading/watching for enjoyment, what does it matter if you can shit out 1000 hours of AI content? Maybe it's good to keep babies entertained? Studios have gotten so into the habit of treating "content" as a fungible commodity, but the fact is that even blockbuster movies still live and die by actually being entertaining.

To clarify for those who don't know: If your website uses cookies for storing the products a customer added to their shopping cart or similar "legitimate interest" purposes, they don't need to display a cookie banner.

The law demands them to ask for informed consent only if they want to collect more than that technically necessary data. If that consent isn't given voluntarily it isn't consent. If the choise is "Yes" and a puzzle-maze of a thousand flavors of "No" it isn't informed consent. If the cookies exist before asking they haven't been consentual, etc.

If websites cared about users they just honored the Do Not Track setting

That's how I got interested in this kind of memory layout in the first place. I wanted a nice Lisp for WebAssembly and had recently gotten into Zig. When I started defining the word structure I remembered Andy Kelley's talk about using data-oriented design to make the Zig compiler fast, so I thought I'd try it, and the more I thought about it the more reasonable it seemed.

There are like a dozen object types with different growing multiarrays. Words are 32 bit with 1 for GC state and 27 for index and the rest are the type tag. Ints are 28 bits. Byte arrays have their own heap too, as well as general 32 bit vectors.
Love this idea! Biggest hurdle though have been to have predictable Auth&IO across multiple Python/Scala versions and all other things (Spark, orchestrators, CLI's of teams of varying types of OS etc etc) add to that access logs.

SF3s/boto/botocore versions x Scala/Spark x parquet x iceberg x k8s etc readers own assumptions makes reading from S3 alone a maintenance and compatibility nightmare.

Will the mounted system _really_ be accessible as local fs and seen as such to all running processes? No surprises? No need for python specific filesystem like S3Fs?

If so then you will win 100% I wouldn't even care about speed/cost if it's up to par with s3

I maintain a package for which the upstream source hasn't changed in about 23 years. I still need to intervene once or twice a year because something else changes in the distro to cause that package to no longer build or run.
Yeah, sure in that sense this partially turns off Rust's safety features. That being said: A big part of making the engine be safe for interleaved GC is about using ZST's with lifetimes held inside them to bind any JavaScript Values when they appear on the stack and getting back parts of those security guarantees.

We can still make mistakes, especially in the garbage collector, but that is again somewhat helped by code-sharing and coding conventions enabled by Rust ie. using destructuring in GC to make sure we don't forget any part of the heap data. (Coding conventions are not a solution, they are a mitigation at most. I _can_ write the heap GC as a map from one heap data of 'old lifetime to 'new, but that leads to worse code generation than mutating a 'static lifetime heap data :( )

This is very cool, I signed up and uploaded a few docs (PDFs) to the dashboard

Our Use case: We have been looking at farming out this work (analyzing complaince documents (manufacturing paperwork) for our AI Startup however we need to understand the potential scale this can operate under and the cost model for it to be useful to us

We will have about 300K PDF documents per client and expect about a 10% change in that document set, month to month -any GraphRag system has to handle documents at scale - we can use S3 as an igestion mechanism but have to understand the cost and processing time needed for the system to be ready to use duiring:

1. inital loading
2. regular updates -how do we delete data from system for example

cool framework btw..

> The general engineering challenge, is how we deal with little-used little-seen functionality (definitely thinking of fault-handling, but there may be other cases) that is totally reasonable when put in place, but has not aged well, and nobody has noticed or realized it, and even if they did it might be hard to convince anyone it's a priority to improve, and the longer you wait the more expensive.

The solution to this is to trigger all functionality periodically and randomly to ensure it remains tested. If you don't test your backups, you don't have any.
> That's autodiff! :D The error (change) in a function's output given an error (change) in its input is the definition of its derivative

Ah but the error of your autodiff math isn’t the same thing as the error of the function you’re autodiffing! And the math error isn’t even a derivative. Specifically, the absolute value handling of rounding error analysis will cause the error bounds to diverge from being proportional to the function and/or derivative values.

I assume your unknown sum sizes are eventually finite… otherwise you won’t get an answer? Evaluating the rounding error will just take the same time as evaluating your sum. Long sums, btw, are bad for precision. Typically people try to sort them or compute them in hierarchical/ butterfly reduce fashion, or use other tricks.
Take your brickbats. I don't run one now, but I used to.

All of this is irrelevant (and ad hominem) by the way.

The situation is simple: Apple doesn't make a mouse good enough for its CEO. It's as embarassing as if a Dell CEO used a Macbook.

Whether that's still fine business-wise ("we still sell millions of our own mice to less discerning folks") is irrelevant. We're criticizing their mouse quality and commitment to making a good product, not their money making abilities.

Huh? This is perfectly fine in the EU. The reason they have the banners is because they need consent. Removing the banner is totally fine.
This is solid, I'll show my appreciation by giving constructive criticism. This is after giving it the "120 second glance" that I imagine is how most people scan projects quickly without a proper deep dive:

* First impression: this is a website builder that looks and feels like many other website builders, with some advantages like low onboarding friction, and AI integration. As a solo project reaching par is a triumph. But I think if you continue to diverge your marketing page from a default SaaS startup style you can separate yourself more from the pack AND build a reputation as a better design tool instead of another design tool. Of course the product is more important than the landing page, but perception is perception. You do for example show personality in some of the loading pages which I personally enjoy.

* I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I was thrilled when I could click into your app and immediately play around without having to register or experience other forms of friction. But complex design interfaces are overwhelming to me. How do I learn your tool quickly? Why should I invest the time to learn your tool versus other great tools? These are questions I'm left with after a quick scan. There are a lot of developer tools vying for my time. And I imagine their all working on AI integrations if they don't have it already.

* As a SWE I don't like Tailwind. I don't like the syntax soup, I don't like having to memorize less conventional syntax because my brain already has enough trivia in it, and I prefer small indie projects that are maintained by extremely small teams with limited resources. As a result I do not reach for Tailwind (despite having paid the $300 or whatever for their membership!). What about developers who don't want to use Tailwind?

* As a potential business customer, can I depend on you? Where will this product be in multiple years? What's the process to transition from a competing tool? What's the process for transitioning to a different tool? Enterprise customers, where the real money is, care about consistency and managing liability sometimes (often?) more then the potential value of a new tool. Consider looking into various compliance licensing, industry audits, and enterprise features, that will be needed to attract investors who want returns based on enterprise sales, not consumer sales.

I wrote this up because I like your project and hope you succeed. Hopefully it helps!

>If you made it that far you have more bargaining power than trying for remote at the phone screen stage.

Perhaps theoretically, but I don't really see this being a winning strategy, you're just going to waste everyone's time. If a company doesn't want to do remote, they aren't going to change their mind for you. There are all sorts of tax and logistical reasons to not have remote, and a place that isn't setup for any remote employees isn't going to go through the cost of setting it up for one easily replaceable person just because they interviewed well.

In my experience this mostly occurs when people don't recognize names like Popper and Feierabend, and consider science and humanities to be mutually exclusive. Likely borne of a neurotic desire for certainty in all things. At least, that's my best guess having been steeped in the cultures of academia and industry for so long.
People who think generating language is very much different from generating audio/video are in for a ride, which I think is the flaw with his reasoning.

All the "AI personalities" that are already popping up here and there are already decent enough, again, it will only take a couple years until their quality is on par with meatspace video.

Then it's gg for actors (and many other professions).

Surely you must be joking about a first-strike nuclear provocation or larger. I would think almost anything other than a border incursion could be dealt with in other ways.

This Week in KDE Apps: Python Bindings
Selling a Comprehensive SaaS with No User Base
I have recently been approached by a founder who has developed a comprehensive SaaS solution for hospitality venues aimed at enhancing guest experience and improving operational efficiency. I am a consultant in this area.

Despite its advanced features and significant investment (hundreds of thousands of euros spent working with an outsourcing shop), the app has no client base. The founder mistakenly believed that being just one feature away from perfection would make the app universally desirable.

The lack of active users makes traditional acquisition routes challenging: initial outreach to industry vendors showed interest only if there's an existing user base as they can use it to grow their own user base; but interest for the app itself was close to none.

The founder is not willing nor able to invest further in the project and needs to move on.

Given these circumstances, my questions to the HN community are:

1. Does code or tech with no users have intrinsic value?
2. What strategies might work for selling this app's tech stack?
3. Are there alternative avenues or creative ideas for providing my client with a satisfying outcome while minimizing additional costs?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
