> The only realy reason to join a startup is that you either believe in the "mission" or that you believe it will bring you joy to work in that way.

If the goal is economic security (FU money) then the quickest path is to get a job at a big tech company. This requires engineering skills and also the ability to play the various corporate games (ugh).

For the rest of us there's entrepreneurship and joining startups.
> Which puts in question the assumption that science as you put in your comment is the correct way to manage complexity in all areas.

One important aspect of the scientific method is that the outcome "we don't know" is perfectly acceptable. Not sure there are other approaches that have this humility built-in but happy to be enlightened (pun :-)
Again a small push forwards for the post-modernists against the modernists. But remember that Biden immediately dropped this EO. The American Institute of Architects is also baffled that more expensive ornamentics trump functionalism. And a good Oscar push for the wonderful "The Brutalist" which just had a ridiculous AI setback.
I think by biz heroes I mean people who I believe I can emulate and therefore want to be around more, which creates a feedback loop that makes me excited to start companies— which happened to me. I know they’re still amazing folks here, but is the feedback loop?

With the passage of time I’m not who they want in the big end of that funnel anymore anyway, so maybe I just don’t see it. But the founder class back then had an appeal that they don’t today to me. I’m sure it’s naïveté but I believed people wanted to change the world back then (while making money) and it was inspiring. Now I only believe people are in it for money, which is the opposite of inspiring
Sorry for the basic question but doe anyone know if this useable on a m1 macbook? or is it really time to upgrade to an m3? Thank you
I feel like the reason for the change in design trends was that for most of human history, ornate details and complexity required immense labour and signified wealth.

Then with modern technology, we could print or weave any pattern you want on fabric effortlessly. Instead of a stone mason chiseling away all day, you can pour plaster in a mould and have all that same detail.

Now that detail is cheap, simplicity is on trend.
Rather than accuse you, I'll just refute you thusly:

In order to achieve perfection, you must understand what should be removed. To understand what should be removed, you must respect the complexity.

Respect is not acceptance, even though it's very easy to confuse the two.
> spend more time on teaching and less on research, which may reduce their research output

It's ironic that universities are primarily judged by their research output rather than their teaching, even though their original purpose was to share and preserve knowledge.

But the academic paper printer goes brrrr!
An Apple device would need to bring 9.3x the value of a Garmin device in other ways to compensate the charge gap? I'd say Apple users would agree that it does.
SP500 returns too.
Good to know. I always wandered how difficult would it be to learn React as an Angular Developer.
This tracks.

I think the real value employees get is riding the rocketship in their career.

Early engineers often have first dibs on higher level roles, like CTO or director over people that join late.

Your initial grant might not be great, but being director at such a company is huge
Nice work! Definitely going to use it at a hackathon. There are css frameworks that do this, but this really went super deep with keyboard and interaction and components.
Companies prefer SAAS, as IT costs to manage that software is non-trivial. Individuals prefer standalone software, as managing costs for that software are non- existant. But company market pays much better. So we get this weird situation of SAAS for individual licenses.
Of course actually seeing those border checks is another thing entirely ;)
While youre touching on a real issue, your phrasing doesn't really convey you've understood the issue you're touching on, honestly.

What you're actually putting forth is wherever large social media platforms should be treated as utilities. (Which ISPs are).

If the legislative decided to categorize it as a utility, then any censorship the company decided to do could potentially infringe on your free speech, yes.

However, this is not the case as of today. If it's deemed as such, it'd definitely have a global effect. Wherever that'd be positive would be an interesting case study.

And I might add: lots of ISPs host DNS servers which do in fact censor / block certain domains from resolving
Yes, that's why you should instead use "COMEFROM", or it's more general form, "LET'S HAVE A WALK".
Yes, but this is just proof of concept. For any given case, you can optimize your approach to your needs. E.g. single goroutine ReadCloser:

type ioContextReadCloser struct {
io.ReadCloser
ctx context.Context

ch chan *readReq
}

type readReq struct {
p []byte
n *int
err *error
m sync.Mutex
}

func NewIoContextReadCloser(ctx context.Context, rc io.ReadCloser) *ioContextReadCloser {
rcc := &ioContextReadCloser{
ReadCloser: rc,
ctx: ctx,

ch: make(chan *readReq),
}
go rcc.readLoop()
return rcc
}

func (rcc *ioContextReadCloser) readLoop() {
for {
select {
case <-rcc.ctx.Done():
return
case req := <-rcc.ch:
*req.n, *req.err = rcc.ReadCloser.Read(req.p)
if *req.err != nil {
req.m.Unlock()
return
}
req.m.Unlock()
}
}
}

func (rcc *ioContextReadCloser) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error) {
req := &readReq{p: p, n: &n, err: &err}
req.m.Lock() // use plain mutex as signalling for efficiency
select {
case <-rcc.ctx.Done():
return 0, rcc.ctx.Err()
case rcc.ch <- req:
}
req.m.Lock() // wait for readLoop to unlock
return n, err
}

Again, this is not to say this is the right way, only that it is possible and does not require any shenanigans that e.g. Python needs when dealing with when mixing sync & async, or even different async libraries.

This is why later companies can be better. Either they are public or private but it is clearer what the stock is and could be worth. Best deal is to get actual stock not stock options.
On the topic of linguistics, I think "dive" isn't a verb here, but a noun ("a dive").
If you use Debian libraries then it will work. eg:

I can just leave my phone at home when I’m running or in the gym and get phone calls, send messages, and stream music from my watch.

I have a stand by my bed that I just plop my phone, watch and AirPods on and they all charge wirelessly and use MagSafe so I don’t have to worry about placement.
Docker swarm underneath. Id rather not build on top of anything that is swarm.

Nothing against it per se but just not confident in its longevity. I know people still have it deployed and seem happy but swarm subreddit has a post every two weeks

According to your criteria NO desktop is ready to use.
I think it's great that you can see the actual chain of thought behind the model, not just the censored one from OpenAI.

It strikes me that it's both so far from getting it correct and also so close- I'm not an expert but it feels like it could be just an iteration away from being able to reason through a problem like this. Which if true is an amazing step forward.
I can't remember the last time I had to send the same command to multiple services/units.

I thought the sleep tracking and resting heart rate tracking is one of the most important features of a smartwatch. pretty sure most garmin users wear them at night for these reasons.
This isn't just a repeat. The last time, nobody knew what it is, now we do. Last time, even anger at the obvious injustices the Nazis committed was tempered by the death camps being discovered much later. So let's not be deer staring at the headlights mounted on a glacier. We now know what they are, they still don't know what they are, just like the original Nazis didn't. That is an advantage.

Giving up will not help anyway. The sadism doesn't decrease with helplessness, to the contrary. And there's a lots of interesting things to learn from history, for example Danemark. They defied the Nazis; those who went along in hopes to saving themselves or others had MUCH MUCH WORSE outcomes.

They are weak as persons, and build movements of people who compensate their personal flaws by being in a movement. They are bottom feeders, and in a numerical minority. What they have is determination because running from your own mediocre self gives infinite motivation (you're never running fast enough). That and playing foul is all they have. It's not that much when you think about it.

What if keeping the death camps in mind, combined with the specter of current and future technology, could inspire a similarly fierce determination in those who are not insane, and in the majority? Like, has it ever been tried?

the further ones such as the cartwheel galaxy = 500 million light years = 5000 quintillion kms and hoag's object 600 million light years at 6000 quintillion kms are unfathomable to like ever reach. Given a quintillion has 1 followed by 18 zeroes, to cover 0.1% of a quintillion, we gotta travel 1 quadrillion kms, how the hell do we ever do that
Impact of Low Temperatures on the 5nm SRAM Array Size and Performance
Nah, that won't do it. Even if you had a rare false positive rate, it would be significantly higher for players with a profile similar to ones that trigger bans.

It would be even worse than the bans some developers hand out now because their inherit randomness would be essentially just that. Not acceptable for any form of service.
Are you referring to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacemaker

I haven't tried that myself, but used the AutoDJ feature of Mixxx a couple of times. It's fairly basic, you have a playlist, setup how you want it to fade, and how fast, hit Play and off it goes matching the beatgrids and whatnot.

Enterpreneurship is much more than just running a startup. You can build a product by bootstrapping it and start selling. You don't need to go all in from the very beginning, but you can build and try selling that. If it ever sticks, then you can go all in.

Also, you don't need to come up with something totally new that has never existed before. You can also build something that is already proven to have use for. Much easier to sell a little better or a little cheaper product to markets that exists instead of trying to create markets for something no-one has ever used before.
Because they don't have infinite resources like nVidia so they're asking what people want the most to prioritise it.

The title on HN got mangled. It’s ~$40B (APPROXIMATELY $40B), not minus.
The Ultra is the most bizarre in the lineup. It's marketed at extreme adventurers, mountaineers, extreme hikers, etc. For that demographic, battery life of less than at least a week is a non-starter, not to mention 100% button navigation as opposed to touchscreen + dial. Those are really hard to operate whilst wearing thick gloves.

2. Setting up robots is annoying, maybe add manual controls.

3. Constructions can't be removed or canceled.

i think i'm getting it so where does lobbying and paying for campaigns come into play?

i've been in a cult my entire life (to give you an idea i live in a house full of fanatics rn) so the thought of voting or having a say seem very alien to me

why do people care so much about that?
It's not so much the altitude that gives you a clear view (although that also helps), but the lack of nearby light pollution and lack of clouds. The European Alps are lit up like a Christmas tree and in most places will not give a spectacular view of the night sky. Western Europe is just a bit too highly populated for good easy astronomy.
Advantages of knowing your x86 machine code (2004)
Absolutely, and in practice it's not a well analyzed spreadsheet problem with a smooth transition. The change in interest rates moved necessary payoffs from the "later" bucket to the "soon" bucket.

A whole segment of product stories only worked when investors wanted to believe in them so that they could park their money there. With everything oversubscribed, products would get investment as long as success wasn't provably impossible - so CEOs and PMs optimized for inscrutability and constant pivots. More thoughts here:

A little blog post on how, sometimes, a little bit of dependent types can make your life easier. For practical things.
Well, there is no notion of crime if there is no actual personality involved. It's hard to define crime on a blockchain.

Scripting could be in rust of solidity for instance, but sometimes it's just python or literally bash.

Prime recent example: solana mods that improve voting. Before they stopped working (as too many people started using them), hundreds of millions were made by gaining advantage in attracting stake on staking pools by those who used them while others didn't - as they could consistently get better voting performance. And a mod was just a hundred or so lines in rust.
A lot in tech is driven by technological hardware progress: Cpu‘s faster, storage faster and bigger, network pipes thicker and more ubiquitous, power requirements lower. This progress has slowed down in the past decades creating fewer opportunities to put incremental innovation on a self rising pedestal. Today‘s hyperconnected and more centralized global economy makes it even harder - there are fewer markets and medium to large sized buyers.
AI has some advantages still on the scaling and basic hardware optimization side but even there it seems hard to monetize reliably innovation.
Interesting article. My partner bought an Apple watch a couple of years ago and I was shocked at what a poor value proposition it was. Very expensive and wouldn't even hold a charge for a day. I guess you get used to it but having to charge my watch every day would drive me mad. Obviously there are things it will do better than a Garmin (and things it can do that a Garmin simply can't) but overall it didn't make sense to me as a product (or, evidently, to my partner, who now leaves it gathering dust).

I do think Garmin have found a really good balance for their devices in being smart but not "too smart". I have had a Vívoactive 3 for years that I am pretty happy with. Good battery life and does all the basic fitness stuff plus some actually useful extras like alerting me to phone notifications, etc.

Also interesting is that the phone never just replaced standalone GPS fitness trackers. It's entirely possible to just use your phone to track your run, though obviously there are downsides, like you don't get heart rate tracking and it's a lot bulkier (though I think most people probably run with their phone anyway).
In my opinion it is decentralized startup spring rather. Just because all do not go mainstream and some can't notice, it does not mean they do not exist. Next 20 years there'll be thousands tiktoks potentially.
Additionally, when the product is software based, the typical reaction is to post open source alternatives, because naturally any weekend project will do as alternative.

Show HN: Using YOLO to Detect Office Chairs in 40M Hotel Photos
I used the YOLO object detection library from Ultralytics to scan over 40 million hotel photos and identify images with office chairs. This helped me create a map showing hotels suitable for remote work.

Yolo: https://www.ultralytics.com/yolo

The whole process was done on a home Mac without the use of any LLMs. It's based on traditional object detection technology.
> I've been using Python for right about 20 years now.

That's actually the biggest issue I've seen when a bit back joined a python-shop. Everyone there had mostly done python their whole careers. Fell in love with language during studies, then applied for jobs using that language. Stuck in the old ways, perhaps python felt nimble and nice 20 years ago compared to other things at the time, but with little progress (from its users) in using modern tooling it felt so arcane coming to this shop. And it wasn't the job's fault, it was a state of the art python stack, just a decade behind what other languages have.
Way to expensive watches. Full stop

Ask HN: Android Bug Reports – Can End Users Report Technical Issues?
I just had a frustrating experience with Android's bug tracker. I reported a regression in the App Battery Usage UI where battery optimization settings are now hidden behind non-obvious text interactions. Instead of evaluating the technical merits, a Google employee marked it "Obsolete" because I'm "an Android user, rather than an Android Open Source Developer."

This seems wrong. The bug is legitimate and impacts usability. Being redirected to general user support forums feels like a dead end for technical UI regressions that need developer attention.

Questions for the HN community:
- Is there an actual policy against end users filing Android bug reports?
- Where should technically-minded users report UI regressions that affect core Android functionality?
- Would any AOSP developers be willing to "sponsor" this bug report if there's truly a developers-only policy?
- Has anyone successfully gotten UI/UX issues addressed through the standard user support channels?

Context: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/390590782 if any Googlers are reading.

For reference, I'm not talking about basic usage questions - this is about a specific UI regression that makes battery optimization settings less discoverable than in previous Android versions.

That's a good question for which I couldn't find an answer on their site. They recommend getting in touch[1] for questions not answered. The lowest plan[2] allows 200 inbound messages per day which even including spam seems sufficiently high for a handful of inboxes.

The HN audience is more likely to be impacted by FOSS mailing lists and so that could be a legitimate concern.

In any case, their key advantage over competitors is not charging by user and allowing unlimited domains.

I think you're very wrong.

Once ordinary people start actually organizing and using violence, they tend get better conditions with society becoming reorganized for their benefit.

A good example is the Swedish peasants. The Swedish historian Dick Harrison wrote a book of which he states

>Huvudtemat är den politiska och socialhistoriska läroprocess genom vilken de svenska bönderna insåg att politiskt våld lönar sig, att en militarisering av det politiska beteendet resulterar i ökat samhälleligt inflytande.

i.e.

>The main theme is the political and socio-historical learning process through which the Swedish farmers learned that political violence pays off, that a militarization of the political behaviour results in increased societal influence.

Once it gets going and you learn how to do it leads to persistent and possibly permanent domination of society. In Sweden the farmer class owned at least 50% of the land. The Denmark, the nobility and church owned 90%. This kind of things saves whole peoples.

This influence also multiplies. When you own your own land and aren't dependent on others and make your own decisions, you become more capable. Look at the lowest classes in the UK, how they are unable to do anything. In Sweden, those don't exist, because people have always had a reasonable amount of independence, and this is because they had power, so when you start wielding it you get more and you get better and more capable, because you have to.
But while cars are a well known technology, the last 15 years have spawned a 1.3T company in that space - Tesla. There's room to innovate anywhere, maybe but the most basic commodities.
Economic cycles. As soon as the next cycle builds up momentum all the low risk entrepreneurs will rush in again.
> I get bombarded with premature growth and commercialization concerns

That general mindset was a major source of pain for me. I used to say I had founded a startup just to get along with the other entrepreneurs, but in fact I couldn't care less about fast growth, product-market fit and other common concerns in the field -- heck, "consulting" was in my list of services and some of my peers couldn't even wrap their minds around that concept -- and the ones who did, frowned upon it. They just kept asking about product, competitive edges and so on, while all I cared about was joining a growing market served until then by a handful of small but profitable companies in my country.

And you can do tricks such as lucky imaging or active optics (depending on your budget) to further improve the resulting resolution. Lucky imaging is tricky on something as dim as Andromeda, but has been shown to be just about possible.
Why are you so sure everybody else's don't accept "we don't know" as an acceptable answer? What makes you think only scientists are humble enough to accept such outcomes.

I believe you are romanticising science. It's done by humans it's prone human error just as much (reputation and money comes to mind). And even if it wasn't, if was done 100% correctly all the time, there are fundamental assumptions and simplifications needed to make the current scientific method work that's known to be incompatible with some domains of study, as I mentioned before.

And to answer your question, philosophers are the other kind of category of thinkers that would fit that description.

So by all means try to apply science to everything. It's been great so far. Just don't put too much expectation on it. It's disrespectful and unfair to science.
