It's actually that life is too good for childless people, especially when they're wealthier. Take a DINK couple with high paying jobs, say an engineer and an attorney. Without kids they can have a nice house or condo, regularly take great vacations, and still be saving enough to have the option of retiring in their 40s or 50s. But with kids, that mostly goes out the window. The societal expectation is that you should spend basically all your disposable time and income on your children, which means expensive daycare, travel sports (gotta start working on the college applications in grade school), and private schools (or "good" "public" schools gated by living in a super-expensive area). And even if you can avoid all that, colleges are very good at figuring out how much money you have and declaring that to be the tuition.

As a high-earning childless person myself, I'll freely acknowledge that I should have been paying significantly higher taxes in order to benefit my counterparts who did have kids. Although it would be a challenge to do that redistribution in a way that doesn't just get captured by daycare and college.
Also old people. They need younger people to support them, like grow their food, fix their houses, etc. But given that I plan on growing old, as I hope you do too, we should make sure the generations after us are capable of taking care of us.
The main difference is that this library is built for Elixir, which means you can take advantage of the Elixir real-time and distributed capabilities to easily integrate YOLO into scalable, fault-tolerant systems.
You are missing two things.

First, the elections will be rerun. If people think the annulment was unfair, the opposition candidate may get even more votes due to organic publicity.

Second, you can't just buy ads. You must also find someone with wide enough circulation willing to show the ads. And that someone may be liable for the consequences.
Sure, but right now we're talking about a situation in which quite a lot of money has been pumped into someone's campaign! This situation is proof that people are willing to interfere in the election. The problem is that once you introduce the idea that the election can be "annulled" a bunch of people are going to be motivated to hack the election to get it "annulled" in some way.

As a marathon runner, I think we use the expression exclusively for the (vast majority) who aren't going to win. You're trying to set your personal best time, or perhaps just finish. That's best done by knowing your body and what it can do.

The other expression is "plan your run, and run your plan". That is, don't be influenced by other runners, who are presumably doing what is best for their bodies, not yours. That's especially important early, when it's easy to set out too fast.

(And especially after the pack opens up a bit. Before that you can't run your own race, because you're surrounded. When it opens up, all that energy you've been saving up during your taper wants to come out all at once.)

Nobody expects it to apply to the front of the pack. They're competing against each other, not against themselves. A personal best means nothing. All they care about is getting across ahead of the other guy.

I understand that they're using the expression in a completely different way. And that way smacks of self-congratulatory survivorship bias.

It remains good advice for marathon runners.
'But Brawndo has what plants crave! It's got electrolytes!' '...Okay - what are electrolytes? Do you know? Yeah. It's what they use to make Brawndo.' 'But why do they use them in Brawndo? What do they do?' 'They're part of what plants crave. 'But why do plants crave them? 'Because plants crave Brawndo, and Brawndo has electrolytes.'

Also: you forgot to disagree with my definition of democracy and basically said "yeah, but this hypocrisy works"? So if the only valid vote is for "the right people", why bother with voting at all? Just put them in charge and be done. That would still be democracy, right?
You refer to Anthem walking back its decision to charge anesthesiologists according to Medicare standards (average time of procedure, rather than recorded time). I agree that the timing of the new policy announcement (if not the policy change itself) was probably influenced by the recent murder and public reaction.
But I’m not convinced this is actually a positive thing.

Notice that word in my previous paragraph: Medicare. One of the promises of single‐payer healthcare like Medicare is to lower bloated procedure costs by having a powerful, unified negotiator (the government) on the side of the patient. The fact that Medicare charges anesthesia this way seems to be an intentional example of this.

Is cutting costs here justified? Obviously it would be unjustified if the anesthesia were necessary. On the other hand, it would be justified if the anesthesia charges didn’t actually reflect the cost of the procedure. Personally, I don’t assume Medicare is in the business of maliciously cutting necessary healthcare to lower costs (the “death panels” argument famously put forth by Sarah Palin), at least not without evidence. So what does the evidence show? Well, it’s easy to find stats saying recorded anesthesia procedure times are considered unreliable, that an unusual number of procedure times are measured in round numbers, that the unusual procedure times are consistently and significantly longer than average procedure times, and suggesting (though not proving) fraud on the part of anesthesiologists and doctors.

• https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle...

• https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6324364/

The main group I’ve seen advocating against BCBS following Medicare’s charging rules has been the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Which makes sense—of course anesthesiologists would be against policies that decrease their pay. (By the way, the mean anesthesiologist salary in the US is $340,000 per year. https://www.bls.gov/oes/2023/may/oes291211.htm) This walkback is a great PR victory for them.

Insurance companies are, of course, evil grifters. They have incentive to lower costs by cutting necessary care. But this particular policy is copied from Medicare, which doesn’t have the same incentives as an insurance company. Part of the dysfunction of the US health care system is that our procedure costs are unreasonably high. That doesn’t come from insurance companies and Medicare, it comes from doctors and hospitals. We can’t paper over that.
Romanian culture is pretty conservative by modern Western standards. All the gay stuff is completely foreign and anathema to someone who grew up in it (most Romanians are orthodox Christians) and the political correctness/liberal propaganda is a return to the communist system but as applied to culture rather than economics. Russia is seen as the last bastion in Europe willing to stand up for traditional values.

I mean, we get it. It's a UX problem. But the thing is you have to tell it exactly what to do every time. Very often, it'll do what you said but not what you meant, and you have to wrestle with it.

> Try testing for internationally recognized borders and the situation is same for the Israeli invasion and Russian invasion.

I do not understand your point. Ukraine has borders that were recognized by Russia itself (Budapest Memorandum). They violated those borders when they annexed Crimea-- their excuse: those people want to be part of our empire-- ok.

8 years later they marched on Kyiv-- whats even the excuse for that? Do you think the people in Kyiv want to be liberated from their president, and governed by some Russian oligarch?

If Russia is in a similar situation than Israel, then were are the massive acts of terrorism against Russian citizens comparable to October 7th? Where are the missiles fired towards Moscow, before 2014?
This is a variant of the broken window fallacy. Paying more in labor for the same amount of output is not good for the economy.
Couldn't the LLM though just randomly replace/reword things to cover up its frequency in "post"?
Yep, it could work, and I happen to have such a hub (it came with the PinePhone). I think the PinePhone is able to receive power AND do USB OTG at the same time, to be confirmed.

To be completely honest, what I had in mind was to use it as a Bluetooth receiver to play music using my dumb speakers. I don't have a Bluetooth receiver and at this point if I have to buy something I might be better off buying some off the shelf device to do this. So the status quo is to just plug a laptop the times I want to play music in this room because I don't care that much about it.
But we already have open borders in the EU. If you're referring to allowing in migrants freely, that's deeply unpopular in Romania and no candidate is in support of it.

But I think this is not enough. Not misrepresenting is not enough, they should instead represent the content of the article.

If I take a random one on the front page right now, "The square roots of all evil", it doesn't describe at all its content. Yet if I flagged it, I know it wouldn't be renamed.

Another example is an earlier post that got a lot of traction: "The correct amount of ads is zero". This is borderline misrepresentative to be fair, but even being lenient on that aspect, it is not at all helping me understand what I will be reading if I decide to click on this article.

Those articles thrives on HN because even if it's not exactly clickbaity, the titles have a "shock factor" that makes people click on them.
Probably depends on how much money you spend. But spend enough and at a minimum it’ll be considered election interference (the exact rules depend on the country). If there’s evidence the candidate that benefited collaborated with you in any way, then it’s likely they’ll face sanctions as well.

Europe is like the U.S. We don’t have Political Action Committees here, or anything similar. Political campaigns, particularly in the lead up to an election, are tightly controlled and limited to ensure candidates have to compete on an even playing field. They can’t just try and outspend their competitors.

Heck in the UK, it’s illegal for political campaigning to occur outside the few weeks before an election. Obviously politicians will do everything they can to demonstrate their value to the people all the time. But they can’t engage in explicit campaigning, with calls to actions about how to vote, outside of the time limited campaign period. It’s all done to keep as much money as possible out of our political system, and prevent our politics becoming ruled entirely by money, like we see in the U.S. Hell there recently been huge controversy in the UK because out PM accepted some clothes (literally a few suits) from a party donor, and that was considered as being potentially illegal campaign support.
Show HN: PVBenchmark – Forecast and Benchmark PV Systems with Real-World Data
Hi HN,

I want to share PVBenchmark with you, a side project designed to help owners of photovoltaic systems forecast and benchmark their solar energy production.

Small plug-and-play solar systems, like those increasingly popular in Germany and around the world, allow homeowners and renters to install solar panels on balconies, rooftops, or backyards. These systems make renewable energy more accessible and help reduce electricity bills. However, understanding how well a system is performing or whether it’s optimized can be challenging.

PVBenchmark is here to address that challenge by offering:

Forecasting: Enter your location and details for multiple surfaces (orientation, tilt, and capacity) to get tailored solar production forecasts.

Benchmarking: Compare your actual energy production with real-world data from other users’ systems. By crowdsourcing production data, the platform builds a growing dataset that enables meaningful comparisons and insights. Over time, the plan is to expand benchmarks to include specific solar modules, inverters, and batteries, providing unbiased evaluation data beyond product marketing claims.

Though the project started with a focus on Germany, PVBenchmark now supports English and supports global production forecasts. As interest in small-scale solar systems grows in the U.S. and beyond, I hope this platform can become a valuable resource for homeowners, renters, and energy enthusiasts alike.

It’s an early version, and I’d love to hear your feedback.
Thanks, and I look forward to your thoughts!
>Pretty much clear. Unless you watch Russia Today everyday. If you throw away tons of Russian lies it is clear expansion invasion.

You are misrepresenting my argument. I don't say that Russian are innocent, I say that Israel is just as guilty.
Oh my. Brings me back to my internship at a web development firm in Venlo. Someone "hacked" the company (somehow knew the master password used for everything) and deleted half the websites. Could restore from backup iirc but you know what the solution was?

Add an exclamation mark to the password

—

Which in turn reminds me of another internship where a computer upstairs got "hacked". Everything on the desktop was messed up, icons moved, random programs open, some files moved into folders at random... why'd anyone do that? The boss left it as-is for me to take a look at how this could happen—yes, including the thematic porn sites hinting 17-year-old me at what happened to his marriage. Not finding any hints, I started sorting the stuff back out and business continued as usual

Come afternoon, I was working on the computer when the mouse moved. Like, not me, I didn't move it. Was it the hacker? How are they connected? After a bit it moved again, but it didn't make any sense. I don't remember how I put 2 and 2 together but, going downstairs and seeing him at the media station using a wireless mouse downstairs, I got a dark suspicion

Yes of course it was an insider threat =) We bought a different wireless receiver for the mouse that day

Ask HN: Will we soon have an International Creativity Olympiad graded AI?
It could have the same format as the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Each question would ask candidates to come up with an idea given certain constraints.

All grading would be done by AI.
Presumably they meant "transatlantic".
I've been doing photography as a hobby since I was a kid, learning from my dad who also did photography as a hobby. We've both won numerous awards, although I have not won as many as my dad, and none of them are particularly prestigious (mostly local / regional contests, often tied into a fair)

Pretty much all of the stuff being discussed here is meaningless, although a table stakes that every person should learn. The most important thing in photography is learning about light and lighting, how light works, how the camera interacts with light, and how to capture and harness light. Every single thing you see with your eyes, and every single thing you capture with your camera is just a reflection of light off your subject and the subject's surroundings. If you don't understand light, you cannot formulate a composition, and if you can't formulate a composition it doesn't matter what settings you use on the camera, it's not going to be a good photo.

I love the technical aspects of cameras, both film and digital, and I delve very deeply into that myself out of my enjoyment of these aspects, but they're really ultimately not important to the actual art of photography and taking good photos. They're just tools. What matters most is composition. I see a lot of great photos online that are taken with smartphones, and there is nothing wrong with that. I have complicated gear because I enjoy futzing with complicated gear and some of the things I do visually are not possible (easily) with a phone, but for the most part these days I take most of my photos with a phone and some have even been printed and hung in galleries.

There's no reason to worry about any of the meaningless things this article talks about until you understand light, composition, and have figured out what you want to say with that photo. Keep in mind your phone, and any camera you can buy today has more digital resolution than any of the professional grade digital gear available just a decade ago, and in some cases more digital resolution than was available on 35mm film. Even with the revival of film today, you get more stops of dynamic range on a current-generation professional mirrorless camera than you can get on 35mm film.

These technical details basically have ceased to matter within the last 3-5 years, all that matters is composition, storytelling, and lighting.
It's a nice comparison of advice that I was pondering with when I started photography.
As an advice I'd like to give about the comparison: stick to one of each options for a series of pictures. Do not change these principles too often.

It pays off to develop an intuition about whichever option you choose.

Just personally, I try to limit my max ISO, I do crop pictures, but I do not alter them. Fujifilm has awesome color grading, so I only need JPG. I love my prime lenses and I don't wanna use zoom anytime soon.
And all these things were different 5 years ago.

If you want to use Z3 with a .NET language, there is also this very useful file with examples of how to use the bindings:

https://github.com/Z3Prover/z3/blob/master/examples/dotnet/P...

The examples are in C#, but easy to adapt to other languages. I found them quite useful to write a program for symbolic execution in F# that calls Z3 to simplify conditionals, here is its interface to Z3:

https://github.com/constructum/asm-symbolic-execution/blob/m...

The bindings are perhaps a bit cumbersome, but rather easy to understand and work very well. Once you appropriately wrap what you need, you can forget about the bindings as well as avoiding SMT-LIB completely.
