As social animals, we think, learn and grow by interacting with others. It's absolutely ok to say stupid things you aren't sure about, and I think it's generally better that people do so in smaller personal settings rather than broadcasting to the internet at large.
Agree wholeheartedly. Seems like nearly everyone seems to "cheat" these days and ship well before the product is remotely finished.

>I will then endure a series of demos showcasing functionality I’ll never use because I’m only here for one or two specific features.

I've sat on a lot of sales calls and I get these feels. But when it comes to selling to people who are NOT the author, managers, execs, decision making architecture astronauts ... that long list of features and functionality really do seem to sell the product. Not that they'll use them...

There is some truth in what you say. Though steam engines still power most of the power grid (especially in the "developed world") their capital costs are indeed too high to be economically competitive.

However, there are also some errors.

In 02022 24% of total US electrical power generation capacity was combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT), https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=54539 which run the exhaust from a gas turbine through a boiler to run a steam turbine, thus increasing the efficiency by 50–60%. So in fact a lot of gas turbines are installed together with a comparable-capacity steam turbine, even today.

Syngas is not a technology that "just doesn't work". It's been in wide use for over two centuries, though its use declined precipitously in the 20th century with the advent of those natural-gas pipeline networks. The efficiency of the process has improved by an order of magnitude since the old gasworks you see the ruins of in many industrial cities. As you say, though, that isn't enough to make IGCC plants economically competitive.

The thing that makes steam engines economically uncompetitive today is renewable energy. Specifically, the precipitous drop in the price of solar power plants, especially PV modules, which are down to €0.10 per peak watt except in the US, about 15% of their cost ten years ago. This combines with rapidly dropping prices for batteries and for power electronics to undercut even the capex of thermal power generation rather badly, even (as you say) if the heat was free, whereas typically the fuel is actually about half the cost. I don't really understand what the prospects are for dramatically cheaper steam turbines, but given that the technology is over a century old, it seems likely that its cost will continue to improve only slowly.
Ok I'm getting tired of this habit of deep linking to apps. The apps either override existing web pages featuring the same content, or there's a web redirect to an app I might have installed but am not signed into. So in multiple cases, it's difficult to just read whatever the information is.

Web pages are universally accessible. Everyone has a browser on their device of choice. The web is 35 years old. Access to information is a solved problem.

Guess I'm just complaining. There are just so many links being submitted to HN these days that require accounts or specific apps installed. Feels like there should be a rule around this.
If you were of high class like the nobility or mercantile, you had children to continue your powerful bloodline. You also married to sign off on alliances and cooperatives. Entire wars have been waged over familial ties and successors.

If you were of low class like the peasantry, you had children to have enough hands to till the fields.

If you were of middle class somewhere in-between, you had children for both of the above each to lesser degrees.

In the modern era there's simply less and less practical reasons to have children, not to mention the costs of childcare and rearing. On the bright side, at least we have less instances of war being waged because Lord Dickus Bigus wants to pork out on a lady and screw everyone else.
Maybe I’m not asking the right questions, but I consistently find that I get “Yes” answers in these calls, that turn out to actually be “No” in practice.

I think the problem is that we rarely want to know “can you meet this use case”, but rather “how well can you meet this use case”, and that’s hard to assess without putting your hands on the software.
There absolutely is this middle ground, agreed. But personally, I've been very stupid with money. I let my passion for technology and the illusion that I will always be in high demand get the better of me and I am currently paying heavy interest, so to speak, in ruined health, both physical and mental, and having to look for a job in tough market with age discrimination sprinkled on top.

Oh well.
I actually do live in a neighborhood affected by densification, although not in Minneapolis. The "amenities" got worse, a couple of local small stores were demolished and replaced with apartment buildings. A couple of these apartment buildings are "low barrier housing", meaning that they are given to junkies. So the property crime in the area skyrocketed (not helped by newly opened transit), and we don't have a single 24-hour pharmacy in the area anymore.

The street parking is now oversubscribed, so my friends often have to circle around the area for quite a while to find a spot when they visit me.

These changes actually made me look into the question of density. Before that first-hand experience, I used to be a pro-urbanist victim of propaganda. And yes, I lived in Europe and I got my driving license when I was about 30.
There is no solution because most chronically homeless prefer that lifestyle. I know I would if I was homeless. Living in a tent, hanging out with friends, and drinking beer in the park. In good weather and with access to food it’s not so bad.

Remember that not everyone has good opportunities. If my other choice was working a dehumanizing job to afford a tiny room with several roommates and no leftover money.. can’t really blame them for not wanting help.
> my comments without lived experience are one reason why we shouldn’t do it

This is a fair rule for you to live your life by. I think it crosses a line when someone insists it be one everyone follow.

I personally got value from the comment about South Africa, and that’s despite knowing South Africans. (Their “lived experience” as non-military non-historian non-aviation South Africans is sort of irrelevant to questions of military aviation history.)
I’m concerned that this article is AI SEO slop. It doesn’t say much about its central thesis, but just “delves” into the background of wifi for several hundred words.

Thanks for the insightful comment. I have tried no less than 30 separate approaches for... a bunch of stuff really... and nothing worked.

Reassuring to see that it works for somebody else as well. Thank you.
A lot of current inpainting models have quite a lot of "signal leak". They're more for covering stuff vs removing it entirely.

Ironically, some older SD1/2-era models work a lot better for complete removal.
IANAL and this advice is only applicable to US/HIPAA rules based on my experience building and consulting in this space.

HIPAA rules apply to covered entities, and the developer of this app does not appear to be a covered entity. If a covered entity used this service, THEY would be required to enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with the developer, at which point the developer is on the hook and HIPAA applies.

If a covered entity engages with a platform like this, without a BAA, the liability under HIPAA is borne by the Covered Entity whom the rules apply to.

That said - if you want to engage with covered entities (and I think that should be a goal) you'll need to have all your ducks in a row before they'll be interested. It's all doable though, dont let the gatekeepers push you out.

One thing I've got my eye on right now is Palantir's HealthStart initiative that seeks to streamline the compliance requirements needed to operate in this space legally. Might be worth following if you plan to take this anywhere beyond a hobby.

Last note - my statement here is only about HIPAA. There are any number of state and federal level privacy rules where liability may or may not come into play here. Have a privacy policy, follow it, protect other people's data.If you're not confident you know how to do that, find someone who is. We do have a responsibility to our users that goes well beyond our desire to learn and experiment.

Good luck!

More power to you but in my experience

- people don’t read your documentation
- if they find one edge-case that is not covered by your product they concentrate all their energy on it even though the competitor product doesn’t even work for the happy path (but ofc they won’t learn that until too late)
- you will have a person on the free tier who is not able to the simplest programming take up all the time of your technical support if you let them

The rest (disclose usage of AI, offer multiple newsletters (imo unnecessary work), be upfront if it’s not a good fit) is very sensible and works in my experience.

The first three will break your product - but maybe I’m just cynical and was holding it wrong all this time

edit: I’m assuming you want to build some kind of investor fuelled unicorn - your approach probably will work for a single person slow but steady growth while you have other side income

Actually, even "if (pos >= bufSize) { pos -= bufSize; }" is much faster than pos = pos % bufSize. Division (and modulo) are like the only basic math operations that a modern wide ALU doesn't easily do three to four of per cycle (they are much more expensive), OTOH easily predicted branches are fairly cheap (or even compiled into conditional moves here).

All that aside, Automattic lying about what the GPL means in a court of law is truly disgusting. Especially since Matt loves to talk about the freedoms afforded by the GPL and how he is its biggest champion.

The questions around reselling GPL code are well settled (anyone can sell GPL code). One just needs to read their FAQ to see that what Automattic’s lawyers argued in court is total bullshit.

Mercator Projection: The Greenland Problem
> Trademark abuse is a "business-on-business crime".

So, I get where you're coming from, but I also have some second-hand exposure here because my wife is a trademark agent (and has to put up with all my inane hypotheticals about trademarks) - while you can call it a "business-on business crime", the question of fact revolves around whether an average consumer would get confused.

As a consumer, I'd feel pretty miffed about being misled into purchasing a product due to trademark confusion.

Heaven forbid your picture has a woman in it somewhere though, Adobe's AI will refuse to fill half the time..

Good suggestions, but also meh, e.g.: forward declaration requirement enables a single-pass compiler to emit code on-the-fly.

I have a much better list for things to add to C: Nothing. C isn't perfect, or nearly as good as it could be, but simply adding things onto C gets you C++.

Adjusting what sircmpwn says: in C you don't solve problems by adding features, but by writing more code in C.

I liked an answer on stack overflow on a question on "how to write a generic function wrapper in Go", or something similar. Many suggestions included reflection, but the author wanted something simpler with varargs without reflection. A comment simply said: "wrong language".

I'd rather adopt this position for some languages, instead of add more and more to C3X. I do away with things in C23, and don't want even more things added in to C.

Making a strech of OP's arguments: "look at all this cool things that C could do, and that D does!". Well, go on and use D, nothing wrong with that.

(BTW, I do write test targets for every file in my C projects, but I'm not so much into jogging).

Those things aren't that obvious, and I'd rather not have them added to C.

Wrong language.
Show HN: Social Music Sharing and Discovery App
I recently launched my new social music sharing and discovery app called Solance, and I would love any feedback (good or bad)! The vision for the app is to bridge the gap between friends showing each other music and recommending songs. Once you sign up and link your Spotify account, you just follow your friends who are on the app and you can start seeing the songs they have been listening to in your Solance feed. Within the feed you can interact with all the songs by listening to previews of the songs in your feed, liking and/or commenting on the songs, and the ability to save songs from Solance directly to your Spotify playlists.

The app is currently a MVP and so only the core functionality is currently in there but I would appreciate it a lot of you guys could give it a try and let me know what you think! If you don't want to invite friends at this stage, just go ahead and follow usernames ryan and/or dan.

The website is https://solance.app.

The second one hasn't just added a bitcoin, it has also added the "AI shimmer" that seems to be a part of a lot of generated images.

Someone should just spend some time in the blur tool if they don't like those glints.

I have the Bluesky app installed and did not see a pop-up. It’s not “gaslighting”. It’s people having different experiences due to different OSes and settings.

I'm an Australian working for a US big tech company, the culture thing is interesting to me. What I see from corp and the US side very much matches the "Americans tend to be enthusiastic about their company mission - in the extreme, believing that they’re saving the world" statement, but I always wonder how genuine it is? When your access to healthcare is directly tied to your enthusiasm for the company mission, it seems to me that you _must_ display that enthusiasm even if it's a facade. Maybe I'm just a cynical aussie, but how can you possibly be enthusiastic for (eg.) putting ads infront of as many eyeballs as possible?
