This is such a huge thing. One of my relatives worked in the housing authority of the HK government - he said that at any given time at least 50% of the housing was publicly owned and rented directly to tenants for like 2k HKD (~300 USD)/mo.

I'm a senior full-stack engineer with a good amount of applied AI experience. Eight years ago, I co-founded an AI Math Tutoring company (amy.app). My role was CTO, and we scaled the company to about 25 employees. It was a fully remote company, and we were distributed across all parts of the world.
Before that, I completed my PhD in HRI (Human-Robot Interaction) at the University of Oxford, in conjunction with the University of Canterbury, where I focused on the persuasive power of voice agents. My favorite working environments are early-stage startups with high growth potential.

Recently, with the release of the OpenAI real-time API, my interest in VUI (Voice User Interface) was reignited. I really love the VUI paradigm and strongly believe it will be the next big change in the way we communicate with computers.

Here is a project I built during the winter holiday: https://www.callgeist.com. I used almost exclusively Cursor for the UI. The backend uses Twilio + OpenAI real-time.

Here are a couple of other things I did last year:

- https://www.line-items.com is a simple receipt-to-JSON parser. This was written in just one day, but it landed on the front page of HN.
- https://distill.fyi is LinkedIn on steroids, auto-generating user profiles given a LinkedIn URL. My task was to build a QA system that detects if generated profiles would regress because of prompt changes. I used my know-how from amy.app, where we had a similar problem of undetected "approved" content regression due to prompt changes.
- https://www.spaarkd.com is a company that allows you to prompt a garment, which is then produced and delivered to your doorstep. My job was to set up the entire infrastructure, orchestration (payment, shipping, production line), and team.
It depends. If you want a service that doesn't have downtime because of a hardware issue, then you should have at least 2 machines. And then, you probably want to do deployments in a way where you spin up 2 new machines and then, only once confirmed that the deployment works, shut down the old 2.

That is super easy to do on AWS (and many other providers) but not so easy (or even impossible) anymore when you do things on-prem.

EDIT: due to the replies, let me clarify; this is not an argument for AWS specifically but for services that make it easy to spin up machines and that handle deployments and failover for you.

Also, there are more reasons to have more than one machine, e.g. being able to deploy with zero downtime and therefore without having to think when to deploy and what to do if a deployment fails etc.
anyone can call anything anything, sure(is it a "coup" when I paint a good painting, or win a game of chess? https://www.thefreedictionary.com/coup), but the great-grandparent comment referred to a "bizarre and highly illegal" coup.
Anyone know how this would work? Are they going to block at the IP address level or the DNS level? What are possible workarounds?

This is obviously going to be used for more than copyrights, like silencing any support for Palestine.
The problem with global variables is that they imply that there's only one of that thing. This assumption - no matter how certain it seems - will inevitably be proven false in any sufficiently long-lived software component.
> Advocates for fairer taxation have said that, due to the way that tax law is written and enforced, it is essentially optional for Musk and other billionaires to follow tax guidelines

What kind of bullshit is this? If Musk didn't follow the "guidelines" (i.e. laws, there are no "guidelines" when taxes are concerned, there are laws), why won't you point out where he doesn't and provide evidence? If he does follow the laws, but you don't like what these laws allow him to do (which is a legitimate opinion, of course), then don't tell "it's optional for him to follow tax guidelines" - he follows the guidelines, that is, laws, it's just that the laws, in your opinion, need to be changed. Don't vaguely accuse people in being criminals without any evidence of any crime.

Then in the ending blurb they are vaguely implying Trump is somehow threatening their lives, without again providing any evidence. I suspect this source is not at all trustworthy and is worried more about raising money on sensationalized clickbait than informing people.
Which is why I prefer to buy my milk with euros instead.
Whether trump can legally create a whole new government department by executive order is up for debate, but he did it and hired these people into roles within it. By my math they have 0 right to hide from the expected scrutiny of any other public official.
IMF is the lender of last resort, their loans pretty much always come with strings attached which provide some assurance that the loan will be repaid.
Their video has a cultish vibe. Not necessarily of the dangerous variety, but there seemed to be a lot of shared jargon and groupthink under the umbrella of "freeing your mind."
Prints being sent to defaulted offline queue is a real problem beyond user understanding for non-tech people, not that this solves it.

> By allowing 8x larger blocks (unless it's even larger now?), if in widespread use with full blocks, the blockchain would be 8x larger. Bitcoin's blockchain is already the better part of 1TB, though you can still fit that on a cheap SSD. Imagine if it were 8 and growing fast.

This has always felt like a completely weaksauce argument to me. Even with Bitcoin, very few people other than dedicated miners download a full blockchain (like it or not). 1TB is already too large to keep on your phone or laptop, but 8TB is at most a minor inconvenience on a server or dedicated mining rig. What's the demographic where a measly factor of 8 makes a difference?
Jevon's Paradox, as I understand it, applies in some domains and not others. Recently discussed here in fact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42906919]
Companies disrupting each other isn't really the point. They can go on disrupting each other. What's missing are the uses that will grow employment somewhere to offset the employment that's trimmed by efficiency gains. Growing by equivalent or better wages and by the same number of people, that is. A few highly-comped individuals and many McJobs that are farther behind in real wages than they all are today is not a net plus.
You should not sell your shares in the S&P 500 to buy pizza unless your financial situation changes drastically for the worse or I guess maybe you are near death. As I said in the other thread, the problem is that btc is too desirable in the market to be a functioning currency and using it for pizza or impulsive daily purchases is a nonstarter in reality.
Mayor is still there though.
Bitcoin as a currency was always going to fail. It’s a speculation instrument that wildly fluctuates. Satoshi sealed its fate by limiting it to 21000 coins.
A less radical optimization that still might improve on the original:

const fn ordinal_date_to_calendar_date(year: i32, ordinal: u16) -> (i32, u8, u8) {
/// The number of days up to and including the given month. Common years
/// are first, followed by leap years.
const CUMULATIVE_DAYS_IN_MONTH_COMMON_LEAP: [[u16; 13]; 2] = [
[0, 31, 59, 90, 120, 151, 181, 212, 243, 273, 304, 334, 365],
[0, 31, 60, 91, 121, 152, 182, 213, 244, 274, 305, 335, 366],
];

let days = CUMULATIVE_DAYS_IN_MONTH_COMMON_LEAP[is_leap_year(year) as usize];

// Approximation which is either exactly right or one too small.
let mut month = (ordinal - 1) / 31;

// Fix the approximation if necessary.
if ordinal > days[(month + 1) as usize] {
month += 1;
}

(year, (month + 1) as u8, (ordinal - days[month as usize]) as u8)
}

The basic idea is to approximate simply by dividing by 31, then correct the error.

Because no month has more than 31 days, the approximation cannot be too large. And because only a little error accumulates, if it is too small, it will only be too small by 1. So only a single check is needed to correct the error.

Also, if you want to avoid a divide instruction, you can switch to:

let mut month (ordinal - 1) >> 5;

Then you're dividing by 32 but the error is still small enough for it to work the same.

(Note that there's no bounds checking, which might be a regression compared to the original. Also, I've made the arrays bigger to get rid of special cases.)
> If I could convince someone to give me 1.x billion to change my behaviour, (...)

I think you need to check up with reality because your scenario has nothing to do with the one reported in the article. If you read the report, you'll understand thay El Salvador reached out to the IMF, a lender of last resort, asking for funding to finance their reform agenda. Among the long list of requirements designed to improve financial health, Bitcoin ceases to be an official currency.
A private, unelected individual is dismantling the US government from the inside. Congress is doing nothing about it. This is one of the wildest things I've seen in my life.

$20 million is plenty. Taxing someone AFTER they die is the fairest possible time to do so. Insisting you should have control of your assets even after you are dead is pretty absurd when you really think about it.

EDIT: Honestly the minimum could be $100 million or even $1 billion. The goal is to prevent a permanent class of overlords from growing.
We still don't know if P = NP. You seem peculiarly certain it is, which is odd given that most of the people who study the topic strongly suspect otherwise. They could of course be wrong, but what makes you so sure?
I use em dashes—chiefly to express parenthetical thoughts—all the time. Sadly, there’s no foolproof system for identifying machine-generated text. Happily, it means one less thing to worry about.
An alternative take on this is that the opposition doesn't really believe that anything extraordinary is happening and hence there is no strong response outside just some press releases.

I personally tried to follow all the news for a week. I tried to read the articles and research what was shared on reddit. Oftentimes my interpretation of these news wasn't nearly as dramatic as what reddit was aligning on. At the end, I figured it's too much work to double check every single piece of news, so I just stopped using reddit for some time.

Hi, I’m Arjun! I’m a full-stack developer based in Toronto, Canada. In my most recent role as a Salesforce Developer in enterprise healthcare technology, I’ve worked on major data migrations and developed APIs using Salesforce Health Cloud and MuleSoft.

Last year I launched created and launched Respitely.org: a platform built with React that integrates local shelter APIs to help modernize access to essential services. Respitely provides users with the latest shelter updates, including location info and navigation, and also features a live meal tracker to help improve accessibility for those in need.

I’m looking for any opportunities where I can continue growing, learning new skills, and making meaningful contributions to a team.

Further references available upon request. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email. Thanks! :)

If you have lost interest in your job, this snippet from my mission statement may help. I does for me.

I will remember that enthusiasm is voluntary and arises from imagining success. I find the pleasure and enthusiasm to begin working on a project by imagining the fruits of success while knowing that once started, continuing my efforts to this end is pleasurable itself irregardless of eventual success.

I actually sit down and ponder what success will be like once I have finish. I'm talking serious daydreaming here. I can spend 15 minutes getting into the spirit of my work.

> These would be just as traceable in your IDE/debugger.

A debugger can trace a single execution of your program at runtime. It can't statically verify properties of your program.

If you pass state to your functions explicitly instead of looking it up implicitly, even in dynamically typed languages there are linters that can tell you that you've forgot to set some state (and in statically typed languages, it wouldn't even compile).

They're acting in official capacity. I've lived in towns where the mayor is not elected. They're still public figures.
But you’re wrong. People sell S&P and BTC everyday even if they aren’t dying.

This is time value of money. If I wait 20 years instead of buying a house, I can have more money. But that’s 20 years of my life I didn’t live in the house I wanted.

I could invest more in S&P and not go on vacation, but then I won’t have as much time to go on vacations.

Goods and services now can be more valuable than money later, and that’s why people sell. And that’s why deflationary currency is fine.

Is open Source SaaS is just SaaS with better marketing
The OS community celebrates that we've "cracked" the open source business model with products like Cal.com, Plane, and Twenty - where the pitch is "the software is 'free', you just pay for hosting." We're all broadly aware that it's primarily a clever GTM strategy. Build in public, get community buzz, ride the "open source alternative to X" wave, and leverage that for sales.

When a user pays for traditional SaaS, they know they're buying software functionality, with hosting being implicit. The OSS model just flips the narrative: hosting is explicit, while software is "free." But if 99% of users lack the technical capability to self-host, manage security patches, handle DB migrations, or meaningfully contribute code - aren't we just reframing what they're paying for? The benefits of OSS (auditability, no vendor lock-in, community governance) are real, but they primarily serve technical users. For everyone else, a "hosting fee" is functionally identical to a SaaS subscription. Maybe the narrative: you're paying for the operational expertise/convenience that makes the software usable for non-technical users, and the "open source" label is mostly a marketing tool to stand out in a crowded SaaS market.

IDK really keen to just get some thoughts - don't get me wrong, I really love OSS and use the stated products above everyday. But I'm just curious to get other opinions.
Ollama has underlying plain URLs but they are parts so you'd need something to combine them. But you can use curl.
