No.

Analog copper signals are TERRIBLE. A big reason telecom was one of the first to embrace digital transmissions was due to all the quality issues of copper.

Yes, latency was low, but that was about the only thing going for it.

To get a clear signal over copper you NEED a very large amount of insulation, and that insulation needs to be through the entire circuit. Just one section with frayed plastic, ran too close to a powerline, or is passing under a thunderstorm would introduce all sorts of noise onto the line. The longer the distance, the bigger a problem this was.

Sure, some calls might have been clear, but a lot were utterly terrible.

Free messaging. And nowadays free calls- when my brother calls me from Japan he uses WhatsApp. I have no idea how they make money but I'm not complaining.

Imagine a time when telcos literally demanded 50 cents for every time you asked "where are you".
I've used rails for years, and have used old versions of django at one company, and used python extensively for non-web purposes.

I think my take is that there's no middle-ground between Rails and some of the newer Java-based frameworks.

Either I'm doing a side project or startup, and I need to go as FAST as possible, type systems and similar be damned, or I'm OK with not going as fast as possible and we're going to go slower but deliver something very solid.

Python/django still had me spending a bunch of time on stuff that rails will either generate, scaffold, or hide from you completely. While still not being nearly as safe or performant as anything in the Java world. Note I'm mostly thinking about more modern frameworks like Javalin, not necessarily Spring's entire ecosystem/way-of-life.

We ignore it too. But I can tell the ones who do answer. They get extremely irate if you do not pick up when they call. As if it is their personal line to you and you should drop everything for them. I dump them into voicemail too.
I could absolutely see people be willing to pay for this. I am from the Midwest in the United States and I happened to be at an airport in some foreign country. Someone else heard me talking and they came up and asked me where I learned to speak English because it was so smooth. They were looking to get lessons to make their English better or at least more smooth. I thought their English was fine and they were a bit disappointed when I mentioned I was from the United States.
Heck yeah!

Per ISO C, the identifiers declared or defined with external linkage by any C standard library header are considered reserved, so the moment you define your own memcpy, you're already in UB land.
For the consumer GPUs, PCIe 4.0 x16 has plenty of BW headroom. The full sized x16 is more for stability reasons. Some vendors even put a couple of M.2 slots on PCI4/5 GPU board to recuperate the unused PCIe lanes.
I'm sympathetic to using mesh approaches, hence the last part of my comment focusing more on the physics, etc. vs. requiring BREP.

The main advantages of BREP are:

(1) You capture design intent because of the explicit dimensioning and constraint model, which of course is still not used enough and 2D drawings are useful.

(1a) This intent is often needed (even if just implicitly) during the manufacturing process as machinists, toolmakers, etc. + their software (CAM, G-Code, etc.) convert them into physical parts.

(2) They are human understandable and editable.

(3) The legacy ecosystem uses old CAD, and it's very hard to switch - ie Boeing isn't putting 777 in a new CAD unless it has some massive advantage.

So having BREP, or perhaps a mixed approach like you suggest with the feel of BREP (feature tree, direct modeling, etc.) approach would ease the transition.
That's quite reasonable. You might consider the Open Street Maps clients - OrganicMaps is one I've played with on tablet. That gets you navigational data, but works purely offline and isn't trying to stream your data out.

It’s possible that we have a different definition of sympathetic. For me, I mean that his actions feel justified and I would have no problem with him repeating that.

Supposing you accept that definition of sympathetic…Are you generally supportive of more public assassinations? Who is on your list? What about if your list is different from the generally accepted list?
Hrm, when I tried to get it to generate an image it said it was using Imagen 3. Not sure what “native” image generation means then.

Because it's trivial to take an existing healthy business and extract value from it? Literally cannibalizing a business is a way to make money. The group that killed Sears for example knew what they were doing, and got very wealthy doing it.

As long as there is a nonzero switching cost for any business relationship, it is profitable to take over that business and milk that switching cost for pure profit. Switching costs go up non-linearly as your market approaches monopoly or duopoly.
Using Devin AI at Dagger
This was less interesting than I was hoping for, because it wasn't specific. It said I don't have a non-native English accent. Great, I already knew that. But I'm curious if it could place my regional accent in the United States. I'm originally from the Southern Midwest which has a distinct accent, but have made a great effort to neutralize my accent and believe I now sound neutrally American (what used to be called Nebraska Newscaster).

Sounds like others tried and had similar results (not identifying Australian or Irish accents).

Given that some people do not see a soldier killing another solider vs a serial killer killing a random person as different, I think it is relevant. The technical distinction as far as I can tell is homicide (killing in any sense) vs murder (unlawful killing, e.g. not what soldiers typically do). How can one have a discussion about the ethics if those are not different? To flip it around, how could we have a discussion about the ethics of software and human life, if one of us believed that a serial killer killing people was an ok thing to do? e.g. everything would be ok, so there's no discussion? Conversely if all forms of combat killing are not ok, then there's no discussion to be had.

Should I Use a Fundraising Coach
Hello all! Recently a fundraising coach and I came into contact about the startup I am building. He has offered to help me raise, and take payment of about a 1/4 of the raise if successful. Is this a smart thing for me to do?
Pat on Twitter says that he fasts on Thursdays and prays for the company
I'm just thinking for myself, how much money I save, even though I'm paying out of pocket for ZepBound.

I sleep better, so I gain an hour per day. At that rate my out of pocket per month is still less than my hourly wage.

Not to mention food and shoes (yes, I'm someone who was overweight and hiked 5 miles a day...).
But that's a weird thing to do. Why advise people to do stuff detrimental to the world?
I think we disagree that soil is fungible for growing crops. Even if I were to steelman your stance, it still requires considerable inputs to do so. All of this ends up making food cost more.

Similarly, I think making HFCS more expensive isn't likely to make foods less calorically dense. What it will do is make them more expensive as manufacturers put use more expensive alternatives.

I do think your ethanol stance is a circular argument. The US produces a lot of ethanol because of the subsidies, so it doesn't make sense to point to that production level as a reason to get rid of subsidies. Fracking is a good counterpoint, but also a politically contentious one if your stance is that the US should ramp up fracking to offset agricultural subsidies.

I certainly agree that subsidies have inertia that's hard to overcome. (My favorite example is the alpaca subsidy that was implemented for warm-weather clothing for the Korean War that stayed on the books until the 1990s). I also agree they need to be tailored to the current environment.

The bulk of your point seems to be we can get rid of subsidies in exchange for higher and less stable food prices. Historically, our food is quite cheap today but I find the idea that the proposed solution to obesity is to make food more expensive not very palatable (ha). I personally don't think that is a good tradeoff because my position is it's calories and not HFCS that is the largest contributor to the obesity problem. My OP was not saying "keep subsidies" but rather "be aware of the systemic effects of getting rid of subsidies". I think there are lots of arguments to get rid of corn subsidies, but I find the obesity one pretty weak. So the simple solution of "just get rid of subsidies" will create all these negative consequences that need to be managed for something that isn't likely to move the needle much on obesity. That doesn't seem like a great tradeoff and I'd label it as one of those simple solutions that sounds great as a sound byte but isn't particularly pragmatic. Going back to the original point, if your goal is to make food more expensive to curb obesity, there are probably more straightforward and effective ways of doing so that don't have all those additional factors.

The only way that take makes sense to me is if you think there is something unique about HFCS that leads to obesity compared to other sweeteners when controlled for calories. I don't think the science supports this.

I created a Peertube client for android a few years ago. It was removed by Google in September and is still pending appeal: https://github.com/sschueller/peertube-android/issues/302

I found this:

A current proposal regarding the 900MHz band, primarily put forward by NextNav, suggests a significant reorganization of the spectrum to allocate a portion for their terrestrial 3D positioning network, potentially creating dedicated uplink and downlink bands within the lower 900MHz range, which could impact existing users like toll systems and RFID devices due to potential interference concerns; however, this proposal faces strong opposition from various industries currently utilizing the band

I was the founding site lead of a Polish office of U.S. tech company, with an initial target of a hundred developers. After looking at… many resumes I realized I strongly disliked custom resumes.

Don’t get me started about cute resumes that were written as code, etc. I hated them and hated myself for how much I hated them.

Show HN: Get honest customer feedback with a simple QR code
That is a far more reasonable prediction but I don’t even see this future. This kind of “film making” will at best be something generated for the amusement of the creator (think, give me a specific episode of Star Trek where Picard ...) or as prototypes or concepts of yet to be filmed with actual actors. And it certainly won’t be in theaters, not in 5 years, or ever.

Generative AI will not be able to approach the artistry of your average actor (not even a bad actor), it won’t be able match the lighting or the score to the mood (unless you carefully craft that in your prompt). It won‘t get creative with the camera angles (again unless you specifically prompt for a specific angle) or the cuts. And it probably won’t stay consistent with any of these, or otherwise break the consistency at the right moments, like an artist could.

If you manage to prompt the generative AI to create a full feature film with excellent acting, the correct lighting given the mood, a consistent tone with editing to match, etc. you have probably spent much more time and money into crafting the prompt than would otherwise have gone into simply hiring the crew to create your movie. The AI movie will certainly contain slop and be visibly so bad it guaranteed will not be in theaters.

Now if you hired that crew to make the movie instead, that crew might use AI as a tool to enhance their artistry, but you still need your specialized artists to use that tool correctly. That movie might make it to the theaters.
Hey OP here!

I just launched my solo project: https://qrfeedback.app
It’s a simple way to collect customer feedback through a QR code, helping businesses improve.

I’m eager to get it in front of users and would love any advice on quick, low-cost marketing tactics that have worked for others here.
What strategies would you recommend to rapidly attract the right audience and start gathering feedback?

Any tips or insights would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Also highly appreciate any feedback!

Bonus: If you know anyone that runs small businesses such as restaurants, hotels, etc and you could show them it :)

It's good to be able to easily access facts about food, yes. It's the warnings that I think are simply OK, they don't help much nor hurt much.

For instance, most people don't need to worry about their dietary sodium, and I think in the US a lot of people could discover tasty food like soups and stir fries and curries that are high in salt and moderate their animal product consumption. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/dietary-salt-and...

Edit: looking in that article it's good to avoid too much sodium, but a lot of people don't notice that how salty food tastes isn't always directly related to how much sodium is being consumed. Sodium deep inside of food isn't going to be as easy to taste as salt on the surface.
Sorry, should law not be punitive?
Sadly, a single paragraph is not a good defense.

I agree that there are shades of gray though. My counterpoint is that I am not so sure the non-commercial vehicle market is that efficient that when you sell a vehicle that it is going to the best candidate best on the miles driven. Your vehicle is still in the fleet and being used. I think the simpler argument is that for any modern vehicle, there is not a significant enough gain and you are better holding on to the vehicle until it reaches your preferred EOL.

You literally agreed with the assertion that rich schools "are trying to create this prestige/competition environment which excludes anybody who is going to be hard to teach". That's agreeing factually with what I'm saying; I'm just saying that that (separating out the kids that will learn at a higher pace and teaching them at an appropriate pace) is a totally reasonable thing to do.

"You're only able to teach kids more because they're the kids that will actually learn" isn't some gotcha. It's the point. Those kids are otherwise neglected. If public schools were still willing to hold kids to some standard, parents wouldn't be looking for alternatives.

And the point of charters or vouchers is to make that more accessible to lower income people, as opposed to today's system where private schools (which in general outperform public in almost every way) exclude most people based on cost rather than aptitude or work ethic. The school my sister went to is in a median-priced neighborhood, for example. Middle class people would like a high-quality education too.
Only because they operate different businesses. Google is primarily a service provider. They have few software products that are not designed to integrate with their servers. Many of Microsoft's businesses work fundamentally differently. There's nothing Microsoft could do to Windows to disable all MFC applications and only MFC applications, and if there was it would involve more work than simply not doing anything else with MFC.
This was a big confidence booster for me as when I first started learning English, people would complement me on how well I spoke English, but I took that as my accent was still detectable. It's only been in the past 5 years that people assumed I was American and made no comment on my English at all, until I disclosed that English was my second language. It's usually certain words that give me trouble, like "cupboard" or "chef". The AI detected my accent as a mixture of German and English. When I tried to exaggerate my accent, it correctly detected Thai.
That's not how it works.

Refinancing a mortgage doesn't trigger capital gains tax.

Capital gains tax applies when you sell an asset, like a house.

While currency fluctuations do play a role, you calculate the gain or loss at the time of sale, not when refinancing. You'd compare the USD value of your purchase price to the USD value of your selling price.

From my understanding Germany is an outlier among countries with socialized healthcare because their system is either straight up reliant on insurance or is modelled after insurance-like systems. My experience is based on Poland and UK. And sure in the UK you pay for "national insurance" which partially funds the NHS, but the point is that it's almost irrelevant to your coverage - as long as you live in the UK legally you are entitled to treatment, whether you pay NI or not. Again, the difference(imho) is that if you go to a hospital and a doctor there decides you need an operation done, it only goes through a cursory check to make sure the operation is covered and then it's carried out. It doesn't go to some central office where someone checks if you as a person X are entitled to have this done or not, it's not a "claim" like a one you would make with an actual insurance company.

And yes, of course you can supplement that with private insurance if you wish, but vast majority of people don't.

And yes, of course the government negotiates with providers - but when you get treated that's not something that affects you. You don't get a bill that says "your treatment was £10k, but the goverment will only pay £5k, cough up the rest". In fact no one(patients) gets any bills ever.

Is there any AI chatbot that doesnt try to kill people?
We have laws about what you can say in real life. Fire in a crowed theater for example. Even if the things said are not in themselves illegal, if they cause someone to take an illegal action, or attempt to take action but fortunately caught in time - you can be held liable as partially at fault for the illegal action. It might be legal to plan a crime (different countries have different rules, but this is often done at parties where nobody is serious) but if you commit a crime or are serious about committing the crime that is illegal.

How are we going to hold AI liable for their part in causing a crime to be committed? If we cannot prevent AI from causing crime them AI must be illegal.
