> If the answer is no, you don't sell trade flows and yes, you will rebate your borrow fees, can you make a lifetime commitment that you won't go back on your word?

To be honest, why would you even ask that? "Lifetime commitments" are ridiculous. It's simply not a promise that any founder or business owner could ever make. Businesses get sold, circumstances change, etc. It's better to just accept that as a risk factor and decide whether or not you'd be comfortable taking on that risk.
I've got a tern e-bike with a Bosch motor, I love taking it on long rides. You've made a compelling case for replacing the existing battery, but what does the story look like for replacing cells in 5 years? Do I have to replace them all at once? One at a time as they fail?

Also, how swappable or parallel are the batteries? I'd love to be able to have two batteries for days when I want to ride 100 miles. My existing Bosch battery only has a ~60 mile range and I'd love to push that up.

Also, do they have a usb port on the battery for power? Running lights, charging my phone, or powering a GoPro from the bike battery would be so helpful.

Is healthcare fraud 80% of the Canadian GDP?
There was a recent discussion in another HN thread that I think summed it up well. Good art rewards a careful viewer; the more you look at and think about good art, the more you get out of it. AI art does the opposite and punishes thoughtful consumers. There's no logical underpinning to the various details, it's just stuff mashed together in a superficially nice looking way.
It's easy to blame social media, but banks, credit card issuers, central banks, etc. don't seem to be pulling back on the levels of credit they're extending. FOMO and social media didn't create excess in student loans in the USA. The US gov itself is trillions in debt. That's not from social media, FOMO, etc.

Social and FOMO is a symptom.
I would seriously wonder how much you understand about proportions given the average nurse makes about 00.000002% of the $4.5 trillion in annual health care spending in the USA.

I also didn't say that should be the only factor. Clearly proximate responsibility for the relevant decisions should be (and already is) part of the equation.
Show HN: Operaton, a community fork of Camunda 7
We are a group of developers who forked Camunda 7, which will go EOL in October 2025 and be replaced by its proprietary successor Camunda 8.

After removing all trademarks from the repository and code, we ported the build pipeline to GitHub actions, as it was previously running on a private Jenkins server. We also began a careful modernization of the code base, cleaning up the Maven setup along the way. We are now stabilizing the builds and adding integration tests one by one. We will consider the software stable and release a final 1.0.0 release as soon as we are able to run all the tests automatically again.
The difference between life-in-prison and a death sentence is pretty minimal, given the length of time it takes in the US to get through the death row process. Decades, typically. Many are never actually executed. In either case, you are expected to die in a jail cell after many, many years of incarceration.

The difference between those two and a non-imprisoned life is... significant.

The law seems to be punishing people based on secret judgements over sealed "non-accusations".

Sorry, but no, I can't see why a country would want a law like this.

Honestly, my country had a dictator impose a Constitution that made sure every person had access to banks over 200 years ago (we haven't had a democracy at that point, but nobody even discussed it since, because nobody disagrees). I also can't understand how come the US treats that system so frivolously.

> all I've been hearing about is how the police wants to use DNA evidence and bullet "fingerpints" [...] and other CSI woo to now tie the actual crime to him

I don't know about your country, but in my country if you look like the person shown on CCTV committing a crime, you're wearing the same jacket, you're carrying the same illegal gun, and you're carrying a handwritten manifesto justifying the crime?

That's enough evidence for a normal jury of normal people to convict. The cops don't really need to add any DNA or CSI woo, juries are capable of exercising common sense.

Only way there's reasonable doubt here is if the guy's carrying the first place trophy for the CEO shooter lookalike contest.

Do you find it soulless when painters don’t mix their own paints or weave and stretch their own canvases?

Is it soulless when a sculptor doesn’t source their own clay and marble directly from the earth?

Or when a musician uses an instrument made by someone else, or a composer uses digital sounds recorded by someone else?

There are many different forms of artistic expression and many rely on relatively mechanical and “soulless” work being done for us by someone or something else.

Tools like this can open up new and creative world building options to people who previously didn’t have access to 3D models. It increases the opportunities for creative expression rather than diminishing them.
I Use AI 100 Times per Hour
Good observations but a more accurate title would be common misconceptions about c/c++ compilers. I point this out because I think that there is a lot of room for compiler innovation that will come from developing new compilers for new languages and I don't want us to continue being anchored in the mistakes of the past.
My feeling as a mathematician is that adding gen AI to study science takes the beauty away from scientific discovery. It is an overt signal to what was alreadly happening covertly: the transformation of science into a mechanized procedure for the sake of production instead of human good. I condemn technology like this especially.
>> Over a 30-year period on a $500k portfolio, the money lost to those fees would be $1.30M for the financial advisor and $244k for the average ETF and even $42,951 for the low fee VOO.

How do you calculate $42,951 for VOO? Seems too high on 500k, or at very best you are conflating FV and PV and comparing apples to oranges.

First year is going to be $150. Last year is going to be maybe 2^3 * 500k * 0.03 = $1200? I'm sure you are then FVing all those but even then it seems like you must be assuming pretty high returns. If that's what you are doing, surely calculate the FV compared to the FV of the portfolio (like $4 million or so). Or, do the PV of the fees which is going to be... $4500 or something.

Health insurance relies on young people subsidizing old people. If you lose enough young customers, you end up in a "death spiral" where you can't afford your claims, but if you raise rates more customers will leave.

There are a lot of problems with the healthcare system, but it's reductive to point at this one guy and say "you're evil".
Agreed. However, it's also the baseline expectation for anything from Wolfram, though. Hyperbole is the brand.

Mouseless: Fast Mouse Control with the Keyboard
Thank you, I highly appreciate it. As is website has clear and strong focus, it's "fresh" vs "repeated" job ads. Naturally, you would always prefer to give a shot with company that just posted a fresh ad, then to apply for a role that is repeated in 10 months of previous 12 but company still hasn't found a candidate that satisfies criteria.

For the additional filters, by technologies and role types it would be of great help if I could find some high level indexing and fuzzy search tools/libraries. I would probably need to migrate from SQLite to Postgres and when I am already there probably use ORM too.

Certainly, I would need to do serious research, if there is enough public interest in the current website and I manage to find some contributors with data science and information retrieval experience maybe we can add many interesting filters like tech, roles, location, visas, remote, etc.
Constraints That Liberate: Better to Reign in Hell Than Serve in Heaven
Pretty small, but I'm not sure if it matters. If any battery starts out-gassing when you're in an elevator, you're probably as good as dead, because the hydrogen fluoride release will quickly cause tremendous damage to you or just flat out kill you; I doubt there's much you can do about it.

So I definitely think that the moral of the story is simply never, ever take a large battery onto an elevator

Maybe solid state batteries can some day give us more peace of mind.

Ever done any work for a US health insurance company? You won't find many conservatives. You will find many "free lunch" advocates who spend half their day lobbying to protect their job and their industry. They are playing politics with your healthcare costs. How is that for nuance?

"Frontier Al systems have surpassed the self-replicating red line" [pdf]
>The percentage of websites that honor DNT is a rounding error

Referring to my previous comment: "This is spurious reasoning. 'Many' is neither a percentage, or a basis for justification. Many people ignore speed limits - so what?" Privacy configurations are not a popularity vote. Instead, they are an implementation of software design. E.g. "No one" bothers with PGP, therefore it should be supported.

A more charitable description of DNT, instead of saying it is "not an option" would be that it is a privacy option that is poorly enforced - exceedingly so!

I will of course agree wholeheartedly that the effectiveness of that privacy option, which is independent of its implementation and design, is ineffective. I also agree that it has a theoretical potential to give a user "false optimism", because of its failure of enforcement, but I don't see that second point as being inherently harmful.

I suppose it comes down to whether you want to take a pill that has "reduced effectiveness" at fighting pancreatic cancer, or if you prefer the several seconds saved in not needing to swallow. In my mind, even if the pill sucks and has a failure rate of 99.7/100, it seems bizarre to snatch it away from someone who would like to take it anyway.
>You're assuming that for instance the library is correctly setup and won't crapout because a system requirement is not met. Or that no other external factor will interfere with the result (e.g. your library is hooked to an API)

Correct, and if that isn't the case then that's a problem with the library, not my code. In C# I've had none of the issues you just mentioned with libraries, with the exception of ones that expect some specific native DLL to be present that the C# library calls into. And unit testing won't save you from that issue because the system you're running your tests on isn't the same as the system prod is running on.

To be frankly honest I question how much you know/understand about languages with strong type systems based on your comments.
By making it appear, and actually, much harder. More surveillance, more body guards, stronger loyalty checks can get you a lot of security.

And let's be honest. Who would take a bullet for this CEO of one of the most despised corporations in USA (that's saying something).

I honestly think, that the general distaste for this particular industry, is why the law enforcement had such a hard time catching him.
>nobody is allowed this naked shorting but Cidatel is because they are a market manipu ahhh sorry maker.

That's... working as intended?

> market makers provide a required amount of liquidity to the security's market, and take the other side of trades when there are short-term buy-and-sell-side imbalances in customer orders. In return, the specialist is granted various informational and trade execution advantages.

You can argue such a system is inegalitarian or whatever, but if you want a reliable provider of liquidity that won't instantly vanish when there's market turmoil (ie. when you need it the most), there has to be some mechanism to compensate market makers.
Cynically, this sounds to me like something that people typically suggest we leave up to markets. Is that insane? Yes, but it's already a business model, and health insurance basically does that.

These people make vast sums of money every year by asking the American people what it's worth to them to not be ruined by a chance illness or injury, then finding ways to make sure they don't have to save people from financial ruin or death. I don't see how that's really so different from a protection racket, except for the fact that most protection rackets were operated with more good faith effort towards the extorted.
It looks very good and has very inspiring aesthetics.

I am not sure why not many people checked it out - you might want to link directly to the website rather than the post about it - in the website you can add a what is this button, and copy paste the most important bits here also.

Also, while this may require significant changes, I think a better experience would be for someone to be able to check the website without login, meaning you will have to store everything locally and handle syncs to the server. Since you already engineered a lot, I would assume that would also be on your list of todo's. Looks like a great play demo project, I liked it.

No.

You're still paying the same people the same wages to work for the government.

Or is your solution that we should pay health insurance workers less money?

You originally proposed eliminating all the jobs. Now you've moved all the jobs to the public sector. So unless you're paying them dirt, all that money is still going to people working to make sure healthcare fraud isn't 80% of GDP.

In a perfect world, you have 6% more money to spend on healthcare instead of corporate profits.

That's not going to change the picture that much.

And you're unlikely to arrive in a perfect world.

You'll probably get a 10% more expensive system that's 9% more inefficient and has 0 profits.

If you are concerned about them, discharge the batteries completely. If you leave the battery discharged, it (very likely) won't start a fire. But it will also continue to self-discharge, which will ruin the battery over time. In which case, the device is likely junk anyway, so you might as well just take them in to be recycled now rather than later.

Just please do NOT throw them in the garbage.

I think this article from 1995 sums it up:
http://alvyray.com/Memos/CG/Microsoft/6_pixel.pdf

Summation: A pixel is a "picture element," a sampling of the intent.

On CRTs, the phosphors would sample the electron beams, which in turn sampled the memory. The phosphors, when hit, would diffuse in a perfectly round manner. As the voltage and intensity of the beam increases, the rays become more plentiful and the diffusion dilates; the output brightness becomes non-linear. In modern displays, this non-linearity is corrected for with "gamma."

So we have two changes in modern displays that affect the way the picture is presented to the eyes:

1. Square edges. These don't exist with CRTs, barring double-scan and prescaling.

2. Dilation. Pixels of higher brightness on a CRT occupy more area than that allocated for a pixel on an LCD. Brightness bleeds over into neighboring pixels, (importantly) making dark lines finer.

So, objectively, pixel art originally displayed on CRTs needs to be altered to have the same appearance on a LCD. The worst problem I see personally is that a bilinear-filter is often used, but it does the interpolation in gamma-space instead of linear. This causes dark lines and black areas to become more pronounced and blurry. This, coupled with the lack of dilation completely changes the character of the image.

About artistic intent, I can provide an anecdote as a counterexample: Shigeru Miyamoto said early sprites were first laid out on graph paper--as square blocks. There's photos out there, and the blocks are filled in completely and are very square. This was early on, so I don't know if they went back and adjusted them, or if later artists often used the intended display to model their art or not.
When you remove profit from the equation, you also remove the incentive to increase supply.

> Simpson was the best man at Kardashian and Kris Houghton's wedding in 1978.

> Following the June 12, 1994, murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, Simpson stayed in Kardashian's house to avoid the media. Kardashian was the man seen carrying Simpson's garment bag the day that Simpson flew back from Chicago. Prosecutors speculated that the bag may have contained Simpson's bloody clothes or the murder weapon.

> As one of Simpson's lawyers and a member of the defense "Dream Team", Kardashian could not be compelled or subpoenaed to testify against Simpson in the case, which included Simpson's past history and behavior with his ex-wife Nicole, and as to the contents of Simpson's garment bag.

One of the most interesting results of LLMs having "gotten too good" is not that they can make convincing sounded errors but that we are often so resolute on the idea we will be able to tell if something is AI generated based on how good we thought it was.

Reliability seems to have improved a lot but yeah.
Good TDD is mainly about API semantics specification, not implementation details. Of course, everything has an API, so you can take it down to whatever level of detail is needed and useful, but specifying the API of your application without knowing the implementation details is basically the entire problem you just described.
