> Because they are their own individuals, and they have their own life based on their own experiences

it sounds like you need to make a choice to allow them to eat your life (spend your limited years of your life as race rat to satisfy their habits instead of "little life" if it is preference) or reject them.

> They simply are unable to see and accept that there are different people who were born, raised, and live under different set of rules that the ones they grew up under.

sorry, I don't understand how this claim(which I also don't understand why you put it here) connected to $5 starbucks and renting a home. Maybe you could expand?
I can't comment on YC and startups and while the administration likely will make changes to the H-1B law and process, I don't see major changes in how remote work is viewed and treated.
Because there are no instances. There are relays that you post to, and that people use to fetch notes from. But there are no “user accounts” on the relays. If the note is signed by your private key, it comes from you, regardless of how it came to me. It can be through a bunch of relays.

Relays can and do filter notes by pub key. To fight spam, and problematic content. But you as a user can always change the relay set that you post to. And, of course, host your own relay, which is pretty straightforward.

What to Do with Old Yubikeys?
What do you do with yours?

I found an old style yubikey after a clear out, plugged it in as you do to see if still worked - It did, and so I thought what other uses can you do with it.

Ended up turning into a web browser button for now, wonder if can be used for some game mechanic:

[code]
<!DOCTYPE html><body><div id="t">press key to start</div><script>
let startTime, count, press, posLeft = 0, o = document.getElementById("t");
o.style.position = "relative";
document.addEventListener('keyup', (event) => {
if (!startTime) {
startTime = Date.now();
o.innerHTML = "#";
} else {
const endTime = Date.now();
const timeDiff = endTime - startTime;
if (timeDiff > 100) { press = count = 0; }
if (timeDiff > 3 && timeDiff < 33) { press++; }
if (count == 44 && press == 44) { o.style.left = (posLeft+=10) + "px"; }
count++;
startTime = endTime;
}
});
</script></body></html>
[/code]

(not sure if the code will show as expected but you get the idea)
IBM and HP have had something similar to this in their mainframes/servers - Capacity on Demand - for decades. Pay more licensing to activate more CPUs/Cores that are present but disabled.
Thanks for explaining, I was not aware of that, that's interesting.
Not at all. It is quite clear that you are doing the "lets take this to the logical extreme". That might be fine in some sort of debate club tactic but it isn't what I was suggesting should happen at all and you know it. So I think we will leave it there.
The last startup was based on a great idea, with obviously high potential (see airtable). So why did you stop following that idea so early?
It’s a restriction either way. Whether it’s a reasonable one or one that meets elevated scrutiny is a separate second question. Your points are arguing that question and are reasonable context for that debate.
Did you know that some people actually choose to live in cities?

Personally I can’t wrap my head around the continuous boredom of living in rural areas or suburbia, where anything interesting is an hour or more of wasted life in a round-trip car ride. Even fetching groceries is a half hour there and back instead of a few minute walk. Crazy!

Different people have different norms, different preferences, and are acclimated to different environments.
Paul most definitely explained what he thinks "wokeness" means in a coherent way. The author has an malformed opinion on a piece he claimed to not read in its entirety.

Similar to LingQ there is Migaku which can do this for YouTube and other sites. It definitely has significantly aided my learning and made it a zero friction and even fun experience to learn another language.
I think people have been experimenting with integrating stable diffusion into text adventure games (like AI Dungeon) for a while now.

Prompt adherence is always an issue particularly in a text adventure game where position matters - e.g. (The crystalline amulet is sitting on top of the old wooden table. A fireplace at the end of the room gently crackles. To the east lies a door, cracked with age. On the west wall you can see a painting of the lords of the manor. etc)

Flux could probably get close - though it clearly doesn't have any examples of an amulet in its training data. :)

> My main lesson from running a startup: don't.

I hear this a lot and I think it is good advice because the only person who should actually start a startup is the one who sees this but still does it.
So I've tried playing with LLMs for this and the problem is you can talk your way around puzzles because you can't guarantee it'll stick to constraints. If you want something more like a traditional adventure game, it would probably work better to algorithmically generate a cohesive linear game, then use an LLM to fill in the gaps in the descriptions, story, NPC conversations and images.

I don't see how you could avoid the LLM saying stuff that implies workarounds to puzzles though e.g. you add a knife to the game that's meant to be the only object that can cut a rope, but the LLM describes a rock as sharp.
Yeah, the article's gripe seems to be mostly that a lot of people are not very keen on paying for the current offerings from Google and Microsoft.

Meanwhile research is cracking along with things like this from Jim Fan, a researcher at NVIDIA saying we are not far from AI being able to recursively improve itself without human help https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1i5ghkq/jim_fa...

Half my day is blocked with “no meetings please unless urgent” and it works great - but I guess it’s part of the org culture that we respect each others time and don’t do a lot of unnecessary meetings in general anyway so idk if it would work that well somewhere else
any of those switches in the right price range for home? I've been looking for a cheap SONiC switch for a long time but those on the supported hardware list are all rack/datacenter sized I would say -- and none do PoE which I really need for home usage (cameras, wifi APs)

I know it's said a lot, but this seems like a good a time as any to show my appreciation of the performance of this very website, news.ycombinator.com! It's so good that I use it as my default sanity check of internet connectivity. I think it's actually slightly better when logged out, but even logged in it's fantastic. It performs better than both the OP's website and my tiny personal site that's hosted on GitHub Pages.

By the way, here's a small anecdote that might be useful to some. I realized recently that my own website was loading more slowly than I felt it should, so I investigated it and found that the culprit was some fonts and @font-map declarations I was loading from an external CDN. The solution was simply to move everything home into my site's assets. How I discovered any of that: I simply opened the Network tab on Firefox's developer console and reloaded the site, and I was able to see the timeline of my site loading and each individual asset as it was being requested and delivered, and then it was obvious.

> where your standard pc will have thousands of cores

Thousands of non-GPU cores, intended to run normal tasks? I doubt it.

Thousands of special purpose cores running different programs like managing power, managing networks, managing RGB lighting around? Maybe, but that doesn't really benefit from this.

Thousands of cores including GPU cores? What you're talking about in labelling locality isn't sufficient to address this problem, and isn't really even a significant step towards its solution.

There are a few standards for rail-line widths. I know the US is on one standard (I think the narrow width lines died out almost 100 years ago at this point). I know that Europe has two, or maybe more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-gauge_railway << This makes for fun reading if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Relevant passage

A popular legend that has circulated since at least 1937[8] traces the origin of the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge even further back than the coalfields of northern England, pointing to the evidence of rutted roads marked by chariot wheels dating from the Roman Empire.[a][9] Snopes categorised this legend as "false", but commented that it "is perhaps more fairly labeled as 'Partly true, but for trivial and unremarkable reasons.'"[10] The historical tendency to place the wheels of horse-drawn vehicles around 5 ft (1,524 mm) apart probably derives from the width needed to fit a carthorse in between the shafts.[10] Research, however, has been undertaken to support the hypothesis that "the origin of the standard gauge of the railway might result from an interval of wheel ruts of prehistoric ancient carriages".[11]
Competition is fine. Deception, though, is more problematic, and if multiple pitches depend on it (like market a service to brokers to get their info but don't tell them the plan is to eliminate their jobs), people will be on to you if you aren't a very good sociopath. Perhaps look for more win/win opportunities.

That's not entirely true (about global civilization being needed). Any nominally developped but not too wasteful country or even just California could do it. It's just that that ship has sailed and we collectively decided a long time ago NOT to go that way. Recovering from these choices would take a lot of time and a lot of money that we would rather spend on railroads to and from nowhere (California). Sarcasm aside, americans, europeans, japan in particular are not ready to pay the price for that - even while they could totally afford it. They are busy paying the price for lots of other things and can't be bothered.
I for one am consuming HN through RSS. I find it is incredible.
It is the combination of what I described is the real issue. If it was just "people are a bit rude" I personally wouldn't be that worried about it.
I mean, it's certainly settled for me. At the same time, I think it would dishonest to insinuate that there are NOT people claiming the Earth is flat on the internet (Honestly, I don't believe that flat-earthers actually believe that--I think they're all trolling).

So, I don't know. I guess I just wanted to chime in to note that I have seen people repeat this crap about calories.
Weight-loss jabs linked to reduced risk of 42 conditions including dementia
Times "back then" had the same ambiguity, because the people were the same, but they were much more constrained, due to strictness of culture, and lack of information. Someone who might not be affected by such "ambiguity" would actually encounter it in others all the same, just in a way that would manifest not so directly, but as something like lack of sex drive, constant low mood, incarceration and stigmatization due to culturally inappropriate sex expression, or unexpected violence, either towards self, or others.

Very important to understand that the people didn't change, we just understand more of how humans work more than before. The current understanding is far from perfect too - I'm sure people not 100 years later will look back to the current one as archaic, or missing something very important, that they now understand commonly. The people back then were not any better or worse, or different, than we are today.
Can YC be attended completely remotely, or which incubators can be?
This is my experience as well. It's why LLM dungeon masters can tend to fall flat since they have a hard time distinguishing between a genuinely good alternative solution vs somebody clearly cheesing it.

If you want to force a solution, you have to add an additional prompt check - e.g. "Is the solution provided by the player properly making use of items only within their inventory (A, B, C -> from their actual inventory) and does the solution adhere to one of the following acceptable solutions (X, Y, Z)?"

This helps mitigate abuse but it can also unnecessarily constrain the player, so YMMV.
Somewhere there's a video of some Youtubers who are relevant in another niche eating that as part of a trip to Iceland. The Icelandic guy hosting them isn't a fan but eats it. The second guy tries it and hates it. The guy who was a connoisseur of french stuff says "it's like a good stinky french cheese" and asks for more.
i ran a synapse instance for a couple years for private purposes, but at this point the ecosystem seems kinda captured by element. self hosting is a pain. in some places it's really hard to tell that mistakes in good faith were made or it's just intentionally complicated to keep "normal" people from running their own instance. Especially the whole worker setup was subject to change multiple times and broke my instance every. single. time. couple that with sparse, out of date documentation and the "pro edition" they now announced suddenly makes a lot of sense (from their perspective at least)

- They own Element, the by far most used client

- They own Synapse, the by far most used server

- They own dendrite, the only matrix server so far that even comes close to spec adherance with synapse, which has been strangled (as evidenced by the last release almost half a year ago [3])

Because everyone is running synapse, everyone needs to keep running synapse or risk losing compatibility with the federation.

This is not what the sales brochure for matrix read like. Like, at all.

Do y'all believe it's random chance that the official synapse docker-compose does not come with async workers? [1]

And now check out the terrible setup process for setting up the whole "workers magic" (which, mind you, is unavoidable the moment you have some bigger rooms joined) [2] - Like who on this godforsaken planet considers this valid even for 2022? Pair that with how easy to handle the base documentation is and things start to smell. They have the stench of trying to artificially create a moot by making it "too hard for non-pros".

I understand synapse and dendrite development need funding, but this is not the way to go. All good will towards Element as a steward of matrix I had is completely eroded by now and I assume that will be the case for many others too. Forks are bound to happen at this point and I'm looking forward to the ecosystem become more diverse again.

Oh, and did you know the Matrix Foundation is infact a UK based Inc. controlled by 5 people in 5 companies, of which 4 companies are residing at the same address [4] and the fifth has an odd interest in NFTs and other BS?

Ask HN: What's the best way to receive email via a custom domain in 2025?
Despite having always owned a couple of domains, I've always used plain old Gmail accounts as my primary addresses.

I've been wanting to change this in favor of using my actual domains, but I recall that a couple of years ago this used to be a challenge because getting the big e-mail providers to not immediately treat your domain as spam was not trivial, unless you paid big bucks for Google's own custom e-mail solution.

Is this still the case today? If not, what are the best current ways to receive and send e-mail via my own domain?
Why would European population of almost a billion people need to specialize on anything? What would it even specialize on. What does that world need that there need to be 10% or the world working on it?

>In particular, trade is likely beneficial even when local production would be cheaper than remote production - just because there are other things that can be done localy and even stronger

This only matters if you can not do both. If your population is large the amount of things which it can do especially good can easily be exhausted before you run out of people.

I don't even see how you can specialize. What does China specialize in? (Before answering, think about the things which China is not trying to produce or the services it is not trying to perform. Can you name even one?)

Well, I thought this was pretty terrific, and I'm a little sad to see some of the comments.

I don't think it's a "very expensive mid-life retirement", to echo and paraphrase much of the criticism here. Yes, it could be, but it also doesn't need to be. Instead, it's about a mindset which says - I'm ok with going this far but don't feel the need to go a huge lot further.

We spent the weekend with friends. She is high up working for some US corp, doing maybe £250k a year. He's in something to do with governance that I don't fully understand, on maybe £150k+. They live in a stunning house, they have insanely busy jet-setting type lives, they have two small kids, two expensive cars, endless holidays abroad, several flats that they rent out, all the trimmings.

We had fun seeing them, and dipping into their life - but on the whole they seem to spend their lives being stressed, busy and not very contented.

My wife and I spent the journey home thanking our stars for our much simpler, much less glamorous, much (financially) poorer lives. We live by the sea, we have raised our (now late teen / early twenties) kids by choosing to be present, and this has come at the "expense" of our careers. We've run a small business working with non-profits for 15 years where we deliberately (in order to keep a sense of life balance) choose not to grow. My wife started a floristry business because she wanted something beautiful that was hers, but she has no ambitions to make it into something enormous and unwieldy.

We're in our late 40's / 50's - so I guess we partially fit the criticism, although we're far from retirement (lolz, not nearly enough cash to do that!), but on the other hand - we've always chosen to live like this. We had brief flirtations with big jobs in our mid-20's, and we had some hunger to climb a little bit up the salary pole early on, but we've both always been in and around non-profits and we've never had ambitions to be hugely wealthy or hugely successful, or hugely anything really. We just like ticking along, doing what we do, seeing some friends, writing a few songs and looking at bits of art along the way.

I do fully accept that there is a whole level of shitness in environments in which you have to hold down 3 jobs in order to make ends meet, and I also feel that the current environment is pretty scary for kids just entering the job market or at the beginning of their working lives. I'm under no illusions: I've been pretty lucky in my personal and working life. But I've also made this journey making quite a lot of conscious decisions that I think can be chosen (if you want to choose them!) along the way, not just when you're older or luckier or more comfortable.

You can sometimes choose (for example) to buy second hand, or to try not to take on debt, or to go for jobs that give you a better balance of time vs money. You can choose to do things cheaper. You can choose to be happier with less. You can choose experiences over objects.

Having no money is awful. But having a massive ton of it with all the complexity it brings - that can be awful, too.

> When I win-left/right a window and then resize it, then close it, now win-left/right always resizes it as previous one. There’s no way to reset it to 50:50 (unless logout).

When you've win-left-ed a window, you've put it into a "zone", so what you're resizing is that zone not just the window. This is helpful when you've both win-left-ed and win-right-ed something so resizing via the split between them resizes both windows. (There's actually four of these zones with an up/down split too). You can reset it to 50:50 by resizing a zone-ed window again and your ratio with stay that way.
