A certain owner of an electric car company comes to mind.
Same if you're a host. I used to have a business which managed a few Airbnb properties on the side and I was getting plenty of word-of-mouth interest from property owners that could have let me expand quite rapidly. I gave up after 6 months, despite it being profitable, entirely because dealing with Airbnb was such a nightmare. I was wasting weeks going round in circles; emails being ignored, hours on hold on the phone, call centre staff who couldn't understand and deal with basic issues, refusing to be reasonable on insurance payouts when guests damaged things, and randomly cancelling bookings (without the guest's agreement) at very short notice with no explanation forcing me to either accept lost income or try to do a side-deal with the guest.
Perhaps it's both? In any case it's intended to shock visitors from this site. Maybe we need that from time to time in our comfortable bubbles.
>Getting the right software libraries in place is a minor pain

The developer experience is pretty good though, if you use platformio in the same way you might use Linux package management.
I recently needed some tiny server to bridge a printer to airprint / network scanner etc. Immediately thought about rpi as I could simply plug it in and probably tape it to the back of said printer indefinitely. Seeing the ridiculous pricing on new PIs, went ahead and grabbed a NUC like mini PC. I mean it was the same price as an rpi + memory card, had a nice case with a fan, power management etc. Has shit specs but what do I care for this use case.

If I don't need GPIO, PI does not seem to make much sense anymore.
The Rise, Fall, and Future of Vector Databases: How to Pick the One That Lasts
I wasn't claiming that sympathy for Mangione is online-only, but rather that being online too much will skew someone's perception of popular opinion.

Based on reddit, for example, you'd assume Mangione has more than 50% support when in reality he's not even close.
> why do we usually need to build software for a target architecture/system on the same architecture/system?

Because that's the path of least resistance in terms of development, at least unless you need to industrially build for many architectures. If the compiler runs on $ARCH, the output runs on $ARCH, I guess there's some exception but it's that, an exception.

> Unless the build includes tests

Build should indeed include tests, unless you want to ship software that potentially fails in architectures you claim to support.

Cross compiling isn't a first class citizen in many languages, and when it is, cross testing usually isn't, but you can have a toolchain that includes qemu (as a vm or as a dynamic binary translator) to cover those cases.
I came across that post recently and lookup the salesforce careers and this not the case they are still hiring in 2025.

This!

If you've been to the Bahamas and know a cool place, you can for example just ask "oh have you been to place X?", which implies that you've been there and know a cool thing, plays the ball back to the person telling the story, but still leaves the door open for them to hand the conversation to you (e.g. "what's place X?", "where is X located?", "when were you on the Bahamas?", etc.).
We use pragma target instead of compiler flags :)
Charity and trading company were/are separate (as practically required, in the UK)

A charity can't really trade in the same way a company can. For example a charity can't register for VAT (sales tax).

The way it normally works is that a charity exists which takes donations and does charitable stuff, then a seperate company exists which makes money and sells stuff (does trade) and it happens to be run by the same folks, and donate money to the charity (or have some kind of 75% of our profits get donated to charity) promise. That's super trivial to unwind as the charity often has no formal ownership over the trading company, it is really just a beneficiary.
The line is on why you are doing the denying. Are you doing so because providing the healthcare is literally impossible, or are you doing so in order to make more money?
Honestly it is the first time I read volleyball mentioned as a top-tier sport. This must be a regional thing because in most countries volleyball is totally anonymous.
Not necessarily. They can have a target margin of X% which is completely reasonable. Then they lower X for the lower RAM options and increase X for the higher RAM options. That way more people can buy your product, as many will be fine with less RAM. And the ones that really need that much RAM will contribute more to the margins needed for R&D and marketing.

I can't believe that people are still surprised about this kind of pricing, because it's completely normal pricing strategy in almost every market. If this is greed, then I guess greed is simply wanting to be able to run a viable business, and wanting as many customers as possible to be able to afford your products. It's basic price discrimination, and personally I think it's a good thing.

I suspect when you're selling at the quantities that Apple are doing, they'll have to consider the impact their RAM pricing will have on RAM shortages. If they price the highest RAM option much cheaper, everyone will just buy that option, even if they don't need it. At those volumes, that could trigger the need to build new RAM factories, which will drive up RAM prices a lot in the short term, which is rather self-defeating.
> Sales is everything in B2B software and always has been. Product-led growth in B2B has always been fantasy erotic-fiction outside of chat/notes apps.

PLG creates the distribution to actually implement Sales effectively and at scale for B2B. Even those companies that originally were purely Sales-led now have a strong PLG component. PLG is far from be a fantasy, but now it's almost a must have motion to build distribution and long term healthy business viability considering also that Enterprise software is living a consumerization moment. Not to mention that the next generations of users and buyers buy and expect software to be different from the past, this is already happening.
It’s also important to view a group conversation as a bonfire. You have to contribute to it and help it grow.

If you’re not saying anything that others can jump off from… then you can’t expect them to. Use a question sandwich: someone is talking about a place you’ve visited. You can then interject with “Oh you’ve been to Taipei? The hike to Elephant Mountain was incredible! What was your favourite part of the city?”

You don’t use the word “I”, and you pass the ball back to whomever was speaking. You brought fuel to the bonfire. You stoked it. If anyone concurs they’ll let the group know. If anyone else wants to jump in you’ve given them an opening. And the person you interrupted can either use your interjection to add to their story or they can keep going, but you didn’t prevent them from telling the story.

If instead you just say “Oh I’ve been to Taipei too” or “I really don’t like that show”, now you’ve put the burden of maintaining the bonfire on the person you interrupted. They have to now ask when, how long, did you like it, why not, etc.

I’m not saying OP was making these mistakes, but I’ve noticed these kind of patterns often. People love to talk, especially about themselves. Let them.
Then why the disparity with private polling.

... oh, and of course I am using those exposed GPIO pins.
However you can get an N100-based box for about $150 (including shipping) with 16GB RAM and 500GB NVMe storage[1].

The N100 has a more powerful CPU[2], and can use OpenVINO which llama.cpp supports, so better token performance than the Pi. The N100 has far better storage performance due to x4 M.2 slot, and if you need even more RAM you can upgrade[3] it to 32GB.

The RPi 5 was a very niche board to begin with, the 16GB option at $120 even more so IMO.

What are some of the best application of LLMs in Agriculture?
We have seen a lot of buzz around LLMs such as ChatGPT. I live in Uganda where the economy is still vastly agricultural as it employs about 70% of the population. I have had a lot of questions from friends asking me the best application of AI/LLMs in their farms and I have not come up with any good answer yet. I have tried to take pictures of certain crops in my garden and asking ChatGPT for solutions on certain conditions such as curly, yellow leaves for instance. Most of the answers, however, are pretty generic. I am not an Agric. expert, so I wouldn't even really know how accurate these results were. So I am looking for any pointers in how to apply AI in more practical and helpful way in agriculture sector. Thanks.
It's not a specific brand. Throw a hundreds euros at the matter and you are bound to have a really fine knife. Then you just need to keep it sharp.

Before that I had a Victorinox fibrox. A real workhorse of a knife. I suspect that it's just as serviceable, and that I am just not skilled enough at sharpening it.

You would probably get more out of getting them sharpened by a professional.
Is there a similarly priced, more powerful ARM based computer available (for power efficiency I would like ARM only)? A year ago I decided to go for a mac mini for around $500 as it's way more powerful (except for RAM, there it's constrained but that's ok if you don't attach a display).
Batman, Superman and Spider-Man are not real. And that does matter. It is super normal to watch a movie and sympathize with what would be clearly bad guys in real life.

So yes, batman in particular would be considered bad by most people. He is just another gangster cause quite a lot of damage to the city on the regular. We do not care, because it is made up movie city.

Superman and Spider man afaik do not go around randomly assassinating people, but it is a long time since I watched that.
I run a serious company and we have found MXRoute to be a great fit.

The main alternative that we could budget for (since we're an F&B business in Vietnam and many options are too expensive) is the Google Workspace lowest tier. That only gives 30gb per user which is shared between email and everything else, so it's not that different really. We'd still have to be making sure people were not sharing huge files by email.
These tiny PC with 4" boards have changed the game. Pi is sort of in-between the Arduino and these. As article points out the price difference is not much.

I bought 4B and found it slow, hot. Thanks to COVID I could resell it for a tidy profit lol. Of course there are use cases I can imagine.
> One half of me is sympathetic with you, the other wonders whether you're trying to get attention for a job (this is how the end of your LinkedIn post makes it sound).

Why not both. I hire, and it crossed my mind to reach out to him when I read the ending. The project shows ambition and independent thought, two virtues in my book.

He's smart to leverage the attention. Might as well get some benefit out of the university's heavy-handed policing here.
> DNS clients combine the 255-byte strings back into a single string.

No, DKIM clients and SPF clients do that. Generic DNS clients, however, are in theory free to ascribe any semantic meaning they like to the string separations.
The big eye opener for me was the discovery that different groups of people actually react differently to me. I.e. I was simply friends with people who ... didn't care as much about me as I cared about them

I second this. Make sure you’re in the right “layer” because this mismatch can induce the described avoidance/insignificance. And even if you want to stay there (which is absolutely fine) don’t take it as a global thing. Different groups may value completely different behavior patterns.
It’s a an excellent question! I don’t think there’s a specific answer just for you, but there are some important universal themes.

Try asking people questions and show interest and concern for their well-being. Observe other group’s rituals and pay respect to their customs. Then to capture people’s attention speak in terms of stories that they know, but switch up a few details, to make the conclusion refreshing and exciting.
The first line was also my thought when seeing this question. Sounds like aiming to be manipulative?

But then I guess the post's contents are rather asking how to have an actual conversation with anyone, including your life partner! Which seems so weird that I doubt we can play therapist over the internet to a useful enough degree and the better solution is to ask $wife (and the friends OP is talking about in 1:1 private conversation) what the thing is OP does that makes them uninterested

I know someone who has trouble with this as well (saying things that seem irrelevant to the conversation, but if you wait and let them speak, it'll become clear... but people don't), but the question they ask is not how to command people but how find people that fit you and/or how to fit in with other people, which very much depends on the individual situation and takes lots of conversation to untangle

Show HN: Copywork – an app that helps you write like your favorite author
Hey HN,

I’m an aspiring writer who struggled with writer's block for months.

I found myself stuck in a cycle: read books on writing style, start writing, get overly perfectionistic, over-edit, get discouraged, seek more writing advice, and then put my book off again...

That’s why I built Copywork. It’s based on a proven writing practice used by authors like Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson. The idea is simple: copy the work of great writers word-by-word and absorb the style and structure without overthinking it.

I hope this web app helps you overcome writer’s block the way it has for me. Since this is my first app, I’d really appreciate any feedback to help me improve it. Thank you!

Zoe
I understand what you're saying but I never advised anyone to change personalities and group conversations are not TED talks.

I merely pointed out something that helped me: instead of sharing tidbits that amount to "I find this relatable because...", I realized that when I came from a place more like "You all might find this interesting because..." people responded better.
It's pretty much impossible to say without observing you. This isn't a technical question that can be answered over text (as much as everyone here will try).

Ask this question to some people you trust and simulate a conversation _in person_ to get feedback.

Contact me (bio) and I'll have a 10 minute call with you if you'd like.
>The act of writing a value of a different type tells the compiler that the lifetime of the previous object has ended.

afaik only memcpy has that magic property, so I think parent is almost correct.

void *p = malloc(n);
*(int *)p = 42; // ok, *p is now an int.
//*(float *)p = 3.14f; // I think this is not allowed, p points to an int object, regular stores do not change effective type
float x = 3.14f;
memcpy(p, &x, sizeof(float)); // but this is fine, *p now has effective type float

So in the new, pool_new:

pool->chunk_arr[i].next = &pool->chunk_arr[i + 1];

This sets the effect type of the chunk block to 'Chunk'

Later in pool_alloc:

Chunk* result = pool->free_chunk;
...
return result;

result has effective type 'Chunk'

In user code:

int *x = pool_alloc();
*x = 42; // aliasing violation, *x has effective type 'Chunk' but tried to access it as an int*

User code would need to look like this:

int *x = pool_alloc();
memcpy(x, &(int){0}, sizeof(int)); // establish new effective type as 'int'
// now we can do
*x = 42;**
The ruling class isn't a monolith (see the linked study), but the consensus is yes:

https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/biggest-donor...

https://americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaire-clans-spend-...

The ruling class used its propaganda arm to manufacture consent for "I don't like him as a person, but he's good for the economy". I imagine this also represents many of their own views on Trump: what they appear to support is not necessarily what they support. That is, they might very publicly and loudly say they don't like him, but they love to see their decreased tax payment come tax season.

None of this is ideologically binary though. The ruling class is going to support whatever it thinks will allow it to continue to be the ruling class. They're not always in 100% agreement on what that is (or, at least, they want to have that appearance). If they aren't careful (and they haven't been as of late) and continue to whittle away at the populace's material conditions, it will lead to more violence, and possibly violent revolution.

I made a GPT which gives you recipes but also gives you an extensive back story
It's hard to say unless you had a recording of yourself in a conversation to listen to / watch why exactly you're getting this response.

As others have mentioned: tone, pacing, modulation, content ... these could all contribute, but I don't think you'd be able to know unless you really analysed a video or audio recording with someone.

Here's a few things that may help:

1) Get a voice coach and do a few lessons
2) Join an acting class
3) Take a clip from a movie and re-enact it. Record yourself and play it back to see the difference, you might pick up a few things.

Also, as others have mentioned it might be worth not paying as much emphasis on speaking, but focus more on listening, reflecting and asking questions. People like others that are intrigued by and like them!
This is interesting, thanks! I tried your quiz, and it really isn't obvious whether you got an answer right or not, it just turns blue and it left me wondering. Also, you say that electric vehicles are always more efficient than petrol, but I doubt that's true. It feels like it should be less efficient to put a liter of petrol into a generator, charge a battery with it, then use that battery to move a car, than to just move the car directly. If you mean something else, you're comparing apples to oranges and the question should be reworded.
> This is absurd. When your debtors go bankrupt, you lose money. Nobody wants to lend money to people who cannot afford it.

Weren't you just calling someone's comment "exceedingly naive"?

The poor and financially vulnerable (ie, most Americans) are at a systemic disadvantage when dealing with debt, bankruptcy laws, and the justice system. They are preyed upon by all sorts of people offering debt, at a higher rate than ever before, anywhere.

Not to mention government bailouts, which really changed the game with regard to balancing risk.
The latest android phones are adopting 16GB now, so the SBC's for equivalent performance are going to do so too. One use of them is running android for development purposes among many many others. They make great self hosting servers that are really low power.
Some people in the comments are implying that the problem is related to what you say as opposed to how you say it. For example, "talk about things other people find interesting". I feel strongly that this focus is incorrect. The problem is almost certainly how you talk.

When I think back to all the socialites in my life who've had the gift of commanding peoples' attention, they could talk about the most meaningless things and somehow make it engaging and entertaining. Like a talk show host who can crack a funny joke about any subject. Not saying you have to be a comedian, just saying that holding peoples' attention is more about your demeanor, tonality and vibe - not so much about the contents of what you say.
Yet one very nearly succeeded.
That creates other problems. Content analysis is a large part of anti-spam. Which is a much more important problem than (non-)repudiation and all that.
If a summary model cannot summarise spam as 'spam' then its not a very good summary model.
