That's not a realistic way of thinking about it. From multiple angles.

Back of the envelope math: there are about 26,000 sailors staffing the nation's aircraft carriers. Let's round it up to 50,000 to account for the folks who build them, admin, etc.

That's 0.03% of the available workforce. It's not a remotely significant reason why our school system isn't great.

Additionally, the demographic of people who build and serve on aircraft carriers likely does not overlap significantly with the people who would otherwise be staffing schools.

LazurAI Launched on Producthunt
Hey guys!

I started my first startup, and just launched it on Producthunt.

The idea is pretty simple, all-in-one AI multitool. Access GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Amazon Nova and more. Generate text, code, images, video with top AI models - all in a single workspace. You pay only for usage.

Will be super happy to hear your feedback about it.

There is a free plan, so you can try it :)

It's a huge amount of work. It looks like at least a PhD's worth. Huge achievement for a hobbyist.

A real life example in closed source development in a tech company that I experienced directly...

A team organically chose a cute mascot animal and started doing things like bringing in stuffed animals of that animal and including visual puns involving that animal in presentations. The manager leaned into it, which caused people to find even more ways to have fun with it. As the team grew and split, it became the mascot of the group of teams. Some engineers got together and wrote a short graphic novel explaining the emergence of the mascot in the group. Eventually one of the engineers designed a logo for the group that was a cartoon version of the animal and subtly incorporated the group name into it (the name was almost an Easter egg that had to be discovered, it was very clever). Stickers of the logo were made and given to new engineers when they joined the group. People would use "where did you put your stickers?" as an ice-breaker to have a first conversation with new people. Reserved people who were hesitant about giving presentations were encouraged by getting laughs from their visual puns. It was all very silly, but it made a lot of people feel included in the group soon after joining, opening connections and fostering better communication / collaboration. Highly tangible benefits were easy to spot. This lasted for the better part of a decade.

When the leader of the group (the original manager that leaned into it) left that role, the new leader viewed all the silliness as a distraction. He didn't explicitly kill it, but he did lean away from it. He never included any references to it in his presentations. When asked to reimburse a batch of stickers for new hires, he said the company can't waste money on things like that (less than a dollar per new hire). He spent hours removing all references, usually in the form of textual puns, from documentation. In a year or so, the mascot was relegated to nostalgia. New people were no longer meeting as many people in their first week and cohesion suffered. There was less fun in general. It was a big part of the group's culture becoming much more sterile and detached. When asked about it, the new leader proudly called that sterility "professionalism". A lot of people that had been in the group for many years called it "one less reason to stay".

Years after the mascot faded away, there are still group dinners of ten or more former employees of that group, that happen multiple times a year. A recurring topic of discussion at those dinners is how to find a place to work that is so motivating and has such great teamwork. The silliness and simple jokes around that mascot were a big part of what made that group so cohesive. In fact, they were both a symptom and a cause, creating a positive feedback loop that helped build and maintain the group's culture.
I was going to say, this is what SPARQL was designed for and it's much better at than SQL.
It's called "access"

The process is self-selecting because it is not merit based; it is based on access and economic factors. It's not that black Americans or Hispanic Americans have no talent for hockey, it's that they have no access so the sport is "self-selecting" wealthier, white athletes who have access and the economics to start and sustain the sport from a young age. To make this a meritocracy, it requires inclusion (I'm not advocating for this, but simply as a thought experiment). Imagine if every community had plenty of free ice rinks on the same order as basketball courts. Do you think the racial composition of the sport of hockey would remain the same?

Tiger Woods would not be Tiger Woods if his dad didn't have access to Navy golf courses.

If you think the reason we don't see many Dominican hockey players is because they have no talent for the sport and not because of access, then well, I don't think this conversation is of any use; you already have it in your mind that because professional hockey is predominantly white, only white players have the merit or talent for the sport.

If you don't have access, it is not a meritocracy. That is the intent of DEI: to improve access and enable meritocracy.

The practice of DEI at any individual org is a different story.
This is an outcome of a very narcissistic approach to life which is completely disconnected to the lived reality of another that you are supposed to love. That approach to life will lead to very dissatisfying relationships, though it will also lead to a generally miserable and frustrating life, so I'd recommend working to grow out of it if you can figure out a way.

On a separate note, generalizing about half the human population isn't going to result in the reliable insights you imagine, you'll mostly find your own projections. If you don't like what you see, chances are it's a you problem.

> LibreOffice UI is why I stay away from MS Office. I can't find anything in MS Office anymore,

Exactly this. I much prefer LO to any version of MS Office since 2007. And early in my career I trained people on how to use MS Office and was something of a domain expert.

18Y ago they threw that into the shredder along with all my knowledge and muscle memory. What little functionality is left is literally not worth the pain and annoyance of trying to use it.

> The difference is that in a democracy the people can vote out corrupt individuals, at least theoretically.

A system where elected representatives always serve the interests of a select few is essentially an oligarchy in disguise. When the available choices are just two variations of the same corruption, it becomes difficult to view it as a genuine form of power.

> That can’t happen in a dictatorship because, again, the people have no power.

We always have the power, and it's called revolution. Historically, it's how corrupt dictatorships have met their end.

But that long tail will probably look like figure 4 of that link, only reversed: IPv4 running mostly as tunnels over a core IPv6 network. Some large cellphone networks are already at that stage, using things like 464XLAT to run IPv4 with NAT over an IPv6 network.
Sure you can, the tradeoff is that you can't reliably do SLAAC (which I agree needs to get deprecated yesterday).

You are costing us money. We have to pay royalties to the artist for each person who hears even part of a track. We do not have ads in the streams.

Why are you being so stubborn about honoring our request? Why not play creative commons music, embed SoundCloud tracks, or make your own music mix and pay the royalties on that.

The current zeitgeist is extremely anti-employee: mass layoffs in a lot of BigTech, and DOGE sadistically slashing federal employee jobs. All of this is meant to send a message that you, an employee, should be more compliant. For some, however (like yourself), the natural reaction is to step back and realize that you don't want that at all. It's an extremely healthy reaction, actually.

Concretely, as I said, I'd look at chiseling time off of your main job to work on other things. This will require a lot of patience (and maybe a job switch to somewhere where that is acceptable). You will probably lose money in the short term.
That's not great advice for a large database (and I wouldn't recommend it for small databases either). That incidentally works when the db is small enough that the copy is nearly atomic, but with a big copy, you can end up with a corrupt database. SQLite is designed such that a crashed system at any time does not corrupt a database. It's not designed such that a database can be copied linearly from beginning to end while it's being written to without corruption. Simply copying the database is only good enough if you can ensure that there are no write transactions opened during the entire copy.

A reliable backup will need to use the .backup command, the .dump command, the backup API[0], or filesystem or volume snapshots to get an atomic snapshot.

Cigarettes also exist and people smoke and get cancer from smoking all the time.

Does this mean cigarettes are a good thing? Why do they exist in society if they so clearly harm people?

There's a big industry around smoking that has managed to perpetuate itself in society despite the fact that it causes harm. This doesn't mean there's a good reason reason for it to exist; the reality of the situation is that you can entrench yourself in society and become very difficult to remove if you have enough power to do so. It might be that in 100 or 200 years the cigarette industry is finally gone.

Pretty much the same applies to Casinos. Yes, people play at them, and a lot of people that go to Casinos have a gambling addiction. For some, perhaps most, casinos provide a degree of entertainment that is not really a problem but ultimately Casinos are set up as a business that relies on people losing more money than they win. There's things like lotteries which seek to channel gambling addiction into social good.

And even in this scenario; Casinos are highly regulated. Which crypto ponzis are not. The existence of crypto gambling is simply a failure of regulation which is slow to adapt to new technologies. Yeah, crypto bros are in luck that there's an administration that goes as far as to encourage people to fall for these scams. It doesn't mean it's something that's going to last.

That is falling back to the purity tests and cynicism.

To be clear, I'm not judging your life, but challenging your claim about the forces driving human behavior, and the aggregate vale of the species.

I disagree with the idea that just because empathy doesn't prevent all violence, it is weak, or less meaningful. A bird can fly, but that doesn't mean gravity is weak.

Violence is real, and important to understand, but Empathy and good intentions are real too, and a huge part of human psychology. I would argue they are a greater driver of the two.

> 64000x($100+256x$4)=$7,193,600 worst case pricing

Not sure how you arrived at this calculation. 256x$4 already accounts for 256GB. The database in the OP is 6400GB large. So shouldn't it be 25x($100+256x$4) = $28100?

FWIW in practice this number should be much, MUCH lower. You can get 1TB of ECC DDR4 for ~$2k, probably lower if you buy wholesale.
Over here in Belgium telcos will reuse mobile telephone numbers if the client leaves without transfering the number to a new service.

This results in people getting a new mobile subscription with a number that can not be used to create a new Google account (this number has been used too many times), or e.g. get the Whatsapp account from the previous owner (as you recover the account by a text to the number)
There is significant growth in number of qubits per QPU, coherence time, time cost per instruction, and number of error-corrected qubits per QPU over time.

BTW if I may clarify, by thought leader, I mean people who are leaders or popular figures in a particular industry, whose voices matter and shapes up that domain.

Nuclear weapons are not meant to be used. They are meant to prevent invasion attempts.

For instance, between China and its own nuke North Korea is guaranteed not to be invaded by the US.

Likewise, Israel is guaranteed that Arab countries or Iran won't try to invade it.

In fact, that's why France developed its own nukes, in addition to making sure they'll keep a seat at the "adults table".

Poland might be/have been another good example. They would only need to guarantee that St Petersburg, Moscow, and Minsk would be vaporised in case of invasion to be safe on their Eastern border.

Show HN : A Voice AI Widget to Turn Every User into a Power User
Hey HN,

While building our app, we realized that users often don’t explore all features—even when they could massively improve their experience. Instead of relying on tooltips or documentation, we built a Voice AI widget that:

- Guides users inside your app with voice or text, reducing onboarding friction.
- Explains features in real-time, helping users discover hidden gems.
- Improves the feedback loop by capturing user reactions instantly.

This is great if:

- Your UX/UI is evolving, and you want users to navigate intuitively.
- Your app has many features, and users might miss out.
- You're in beta/testing, and want better engagement & feedback.

The issue with ltree is that it requires fanout on write when moving a node. The downside is you need to update every recursive descendant of the moved node to rewrite their ancestor path for the new location in the tree, so a move is O(subtree nodes), but you get to scan a subtree in using btree prefix search which is great.

That makes it good for relatively static and flat data like your label hierarchy, which probably receives a new label or a repainting within a tree relatively infrequently, and might have a p95 depth of 10. That makes it also a good fit for actual human (parent, child) relationships since parent-child change is usually infrequent and the total children per layer in the tree is also small.

For a tree like a Notion workspace where depth can be quite deep, and layers can easily have hundreds or hundreds of thousands of siblings, the cost at write-time when you reparent an ancestor in the worst case isn’t feasible.

For something like a social graph I’m not sure how to use ltree at all since a social graph isn’t a dag.

"Postgres as graph DB" starts to break down when you try to do serious network analysis with it, using specialized algorithms that are heavy on math - as opposed to merely using 'graphs' as the foundion of your data model, which is what graph databases mostly get used for. It's more about "what your actual use case is" than "how much data you have".
I went through an Austrian School binge during the financial crisis. The Austrian school had some very prescient and relevant observations on price signalling and why orthodox communism would inevitably fail because of it. Basically when you mess with prices, things get out of whack because they're a very basic and powerful signal of all the inputs into any product or service.

But the school is also a spectrum. If you watch interviews with Hayek, he's quite pragmatic in some ways; he concedes that some social programs can be desirable, particularly around heathcare, but pushes that such programs should be as market oriented as possible. He's also fine with taxes on negative externalities, like pollution.

Von Mises, who many consider the father of the movement, was extremely rigid and uncompromising in his classical economics view and how government should be minimal (though being jewish and watching the nazis operate greatly influence this viewpoint). Add to the fact that much of the modern torch has been carried by American advocates who were heavily influenced by Murray Rothbard (who was a student of Mises and can best be described as anarcho-capitalist through and through) and the whole movement has took a nosedive off the crazy tree.

IMO the movement is now mostly made up of people who at best can no longer see the forest for the trees and at worst are bigoted or terrible people who can't stand that "the government" won't let them do terrible things. I've literally seen videos of Rothbard disciples advocate for debtors bondage/slavery, child labour, and even worse things.
