Show HN: WSJ-style articles aggregator for quarterly financial reports
I’ve always enjoyed reading the earnings sections of WSJ to discover new ideas to dive deeper. But I’ve often wanted for a centralized place to access the latest financial reports from major corporations—something that goes beyond editor-curated content to cover the broader market.

Platforms like SeekingAlpha, Quartr, Finchat, Earningshub are fantastic, but they’re often complex, costly, and designed for in-depth stock research. I created something simpler and more discovery-focused, a tool that feels more like reading the morning newspaper.
Thanks so much!
Elixir was on my list but decided for Fastify (Node v22), Postgres and Vue3 in the end as these are the things I am more familiar with. :)

There are like 20 new AI startups every day. Makes for a warm winter
Interesting concept. I'm assuming since this is being done as a SaaS (which I understand, want to be compensated for your time), there's no way to run a server locally over wifi without allowing external internet access?
Love the idea about a demo on twitch. Simple yet effective! Next up, develop a twitch bot interface so you can handle everything directly there
Sauces are quite easy in practice. Usually you can measure in table spoons or whatever.
My other option was AWS though. That $700k is like 4 years of effort, and I get vacations. Actually realizing a sale on a billion dollar company after 4 years is just incomprehensibly low. TBH Amazon is also less work than running a startup. If you think AWS oncall is bad, think about having even less people on your team to handle the load, or to build the product durably in the first place :)

Also, I have no way of knowing if the same ownership thing is going to happen again. Giving me another 0.5% of the above calculation. Sure, lots of people make millions in a startup. Way more people make millions, although over a longer time span, in tech companies and index funds.
Which then again could have AI integrations of its own! Imagine the endless possibilities of AI shredding.
I was the ~15th engineer at a YC startup that had a very big exit. Over 4 years I made less than $80k total (20k/yr) from my options while the founders made high 8 figures. Had I joined BigTech I would have made over $1 M just from stock and I would have worked less.

Back during the dot com days, everyone from the secretaries to the chefs to the founders were getting rich but nowadays YC teaches their founders to keep the money and stock options for themselves and for the investors. The only way employees make life changing money is if the company exits for over $10B.
Just wanted to thank you and the commenter above for your thoughtful comment chain. It’s exceedingly rare to encounter such thoughtful nuanced conversation online.

It seems, YC and HN made their decision.
The trouble with the Rust community is that it is terrible at communication. That may be why you extend a presupposition that everyone understands the meaningful difference between Rust editions and Go version directives, but I can't tell a difference beyond the frivolous like syntax used. Based on the documentation of each they seem like the exact same concept, with the exact same goals in mind. As a result, unfortunately, your point is not yet made. Perhaps you can break the cycle and describe for every day people how Rust editions are fundamentally different?
Yeah I just didn't have the license at hand at the time. I usually just practice with Mixxx at home and then just use my vanilla USBs with whatever equipment is at the venue. I can play with vinyls so pretty much any equipment works for me. I do like all the QoL features of modern gear though.
I mostly quit gaming when I realized (load times+match maching+updated) < time playing.

Yeah, or the abstract which is a bit vague.
I'd say Rust editions are more like going from Python 2.x to Python 2.y, than the 2->3 migration. The Rust standard library is still the same (and the string type is still "valid UTF-8") no matter the edition (this is why you can mix-and-match editions), the edition differences are mostly on the syntax.

> Just imagine how much smoother the python 3 transition would have been if you could transition projects incrementally, module by module as needed.

That would require manually converting strings to the correct type at each module boundary (you can't do it automatically, because on the Python 2.x side, you don't know whether or not a string has already been decoded/encoded into a specific character encoding; that is, you don't know whether a Python 2.x string should be represented by a "bytes" or a "str" on the Python 3.x side). That's made even harder by Python's dynamic typing (you can't statically look at the code and point all the places which might need manual review).

A Calendar event is a specific moment in time, it doesn't move with timezones.

So if you want to enter an event which will be at 7pm local time in NY but you're currently in CA, why would you enter it at 7pm in your own timezone? Just enter it at 7pm and select NY as timezone.

> I live in a more rural community (moved from a big city). We have 5-6 small (~50k people) towns, all well connected. Everything happens on Facebook. I would like to move to a different platforms. Plus points for self-hosted, federated.

Do YOU want to move off of Facebook for some reason, or do people want to move off of Facebook for some reason. MOST people in the US, especially in a rural are are not going to quit an app because say the CEO of a company is friendly to the President. You have an uphill battle, and at best you are going to shed a majority of users. Facebook is a popular platform, especially for those 30+ people in a small town that use local groups.
Cell phones and laptops in general have changed a couple of things for me, as someone who grew up without them:

- I realized about 20y-25y ago that I could run a Web search and find out nearly any fact, probably one-shot but maybe with 2-3 searches' worth of research

- About 10-15y ago I began to have a connected device in my pocket that could do this on request at any time

- About 5y ago I explicitly *stopped* doing it, most of the time, socially. If I'm in the middle of a conversation and a question comes up about a minor fact, I'm not gonna break the flow to pull out my screen and stare at it and answer the question, I'm gonna keep hanging out with the person.

There was this "pub trivia" thing that used to happen in the 80s and 90s where you would see a spirited discussion between people arguing about a small fact which neither of them immediately had at hand. We don't get that much anymore because it's so easy to answer the question -- we've just totally lost it.

I don't miss it, but I have become keenly aware of how tethered my consciousness is to facts available via Web search, and I don't know that I love outsourcing that much of my brain to places beyond my control.

I've had some success with looking at meetup.com and finding when some kind of group is going to meet up somewhere, show up, and see if things click. I played some board games recently and then got added to the weekly text notification and now have some adults to chill with when I have an opening on that day.

Facebook is used for a lot of notification/scheduling at my local game store though. I refuse to use Facebook, but don't want to be a burden on everyone else. I found some people I like and gave them my phone number and told them I'm down for a game whenever they are. Although rare, I have gotten a text before and gone and had fun.
It is not typical that being good in one area of mathematics makes one proficient in another — mathematics has a lot of depth, and to reach the frontier in any specialization requires years of study. However:

- There are skills that carry over; these are usually known by the name "mathematical maturity" https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mathematical_matu...

- There is a story/legend told about Erdős, where he was so good at problem-solving/proofs that he once solved a problem in another area after asking for the definitions of the terms in the problem. (The fact that this story is told illustrates that it is not commonplace.)

How does your heat pump do on cold days like today? Do you still use an AC in the summer?
I disagree that it's a good approach. I think that parameters must be passed down always, as parameters. It allows compiler to detect unused parameters and it removes all implicitness.

It is verbose indeed and may be there should be programming language support to reduce that verbosity. Some languages support implicit parameters which proved to be problematic but may be there should be more iterations on that manner.

I consider context for passing down values to do more harm than good.
How?

There's no workplace to speak in hushed tones. There's no manager or de facto leader to make first contact with union representatives. There's no way to know when you've reached a quorum of local drivers.

I don't really know what "metacongnitive laziness" is even after they explain it in the paper, but I use LLMs to filter noise and help automate the drudgery of certain tasks, allowing me to use my energy and peak focus time on the more complicated tasks. Anecdotal, obviously. But I don't see how this hinders me in my ability to "self-regulate". It's just a tool, like a hammer.

From a learning perspective, it can also be a short cut to getting something explained in several different ways until the concept "clicks".
Must have gone under my radar, there probably was some license included with the device my local bar bought too but I didn't have it on hand at the time.

P4 as a language is still used on some programmable NICs for describing packet parsing dataplanes and exists as an HDL. Unfortunately the SDKs are not always exposed to small scale companies or universities like Intel did with Tofino.

SIM services is an integral part of the GSM stack, and all custom ROMs I used had SIM services menu, and I was able to see and utilize the functions in the menu, sans the ones requiring accessing the secure element.

There was one missing file (which I don't remember its name now, it's long gone), but I always carried over that one from the official ROM (same Android version, mind you), but while everything still worked, this was not enabling me to use the secure element based SIM services (namely e-signature).

The problem was not "not being able to access secure element", it was visible, but making it do (secure/verifiable) things, which require an "operator message" to trigger the right process on the phone. Even if the system which I'm trying to login said that the process should start, the phone just didn't respond/started the e-signature process. In my country, if your SIM is blocked for any reason from using these services (e.g. when you change your SIM and not-activate e-sig again), you SHALL and WILL (in RFC sense) get a message detailing what went wrong.

Again, the moment I flashed the original image, secure element based SIM services started working, I didn't need to do anything on the other side. Different ROM, it's working. Flash the custom one, reboot, it's gone. Add the required files back, no luck. That simple.

BTW, I was not mad that it was not working. It's a legally binding wet signature equivalent. I don't want that pipeline to be peek/poke enabled.

Totally get the resentment. However, I'm particularly excited about the benefits this could bring, especially for people like my grandma with dementia. She could say, "Print my shopping list," or "Can you write down my son's phone number?" Only thing missing for now is smarter home assistant devices as Alexa is too dumb to handle such requests. :/

I've done research in this space for many years at Google AI and now at SnapCalorie. The thing I find interesting is how confident people are in their ability to estimate portion size visually, and in truth how wrong they all are.

We published in CVPR (top peer reviewed academic conference for computer vision) and people are on average off by 53% and even trained professionals are still off by 40%. Basically if you want to have a higher level of accuracy you need to use a food scale or something that measure the volume of food, people just can't estimate portion sizes visually.

Oils, cooking fats, hidden ingredients are what people are most concerned about but they actually add far less error to people's tracking than portion. Nutrition5k is the paper we published if you want to check out more details on the breakdown of error most people get when tracking.

They're basically dynamic scoping and it's both a very useful and powerful and very dangerous feature ... scheme's dynamic-wind model makes it more obvious when the particular form of magic is in use but isn't otherwise a lot different.

I would like to think that somebody better at type systems than me could provide a way to encode it into one that doesn't require typing out the dynamic names and types on every single function but can instead infer them based on what other functions are being called therein, but even assuming you had that I'm not sure how much of the (very real) issues you describe it would ameliorate.

I think for golang the answer is probably "no, that sort of powerful but dangerous feature is not what we're going for here" ... and yet when used sufficiently sparingly in other languages, I've found it incredibly helpful.

Trade-offs all the way down as ever.
My assumption would be that the orgs aren't quite sure how they work either.
How many people in rural America are going to be familiar with Discourse? And if the end goal is to have a discussion forum and you are trying to meet the needs of the people, why would they care about it being self hosted and what happens when the original poster gets board?

This is like the hobbyist version of resume driven development.

But the better question is, what is the purpose of getting off of Facebook? Are the users asking for it?

Especially now that Zuck has kissed the ring, conservatives (ie rural small town folks) are not trying to flee Facebook now if they ever were.
Everything I do is either a Whatsapp group or a Telegram group these days. Whatsapp is owned by Meta but is at least encrypted, private and free from the bullshit of a real social media. Telegram is a better alternative if you really want to leave Meta behind. People will suggest Signal but in my experience literally nobody uses it except radical organisers. I have only one group on there and its for a protest group. Nobody else ever even messages me on there.
The submission is about Meta, and the comment that started the thread specifically mentioned OpenAI and Meta and no other LLMs or providers.

You are half right. A context also carries a deadline. This is important for those APIs which don't allow asynchronous cancellation but which do support timeouts as long as they are set up in advance. Indeed, your ContextReader is not safe to use in general, as io.ReadCloser does not specify the effect of concurrent calls to Close during Read. Not all implementations allow it, and even when they do tolerate it, they don't always guarantee that it interrupts Read.
