I live in Argentina and you're right.

Milei is not good for the people, and the inflation numbers are highly misleading because the cost in dollars is very high in Argentina right now. Plenty of people losing their jobs, factories closing (some with decades of existence in Argentina), plenty of people begging on the streets.

A lot of people who support him do so out of antiperonist feelings (which has a very strong tradition in Argentina), even as he makes their lives harder or they have to close their businesses due to Milei-induced crises.
You won’t find one true answer that fits all use cases and your lifestyle. What approach motivates you?

The general YC advice is to find a way to validate your idea and “fail quickly” with the least amount of time and effort.

That’s kind of orthogonal to the potential scope of the problem, but applies to how to get started.

Isn't that still treating a symptom, rather than the core problem? If homelessness is caused by drug addiction, what causes drug addiction? Underlying mental health? Lack of opportunity? Government welfare dependence?
Not-insignificant winds may also have played a factor.
Sunny days are perfect. The sun warms you up and the breeze makes sure you don't get too warm. But shade, clouds, fog, or night time in general can make it a bit chilly.

Asecret.io – A Simple yet Powerful Secure Secret Sharing Site
I built aSecret.io, a secure secret-sharing site. I know, there are others like this, but I wanted something a bit different:

- Multiple views per secret (instead of auto-burning after the first view)
- Admin link for the creator – See how many times the secret has been viewed or manually burn it anytime

Not the end of the world but useful and I like the domain. Feel free to roast it.
> I haven't heard about any new ideas after that in France.

France is trying to restart it's small modular reactor program by leveraging India's new RFP.

It's $60B allocated for small modular nuclear reactor development, and they've already gotten Russian (Rosatom) and American (Holtec and GE) players. France's EDF is joining in now as well.

India is the only large state other than China with active tenders for greenfield SMRs, and unlike China, India's RFP is now open to foreign companies due to recent amendments.

The British SMR project mentioned in the Guardian article itself includes an US-India joint venture between GE and the Madhvani family along with Rolls Royce [0]

Maybe I'm a bit too cynical, but I always felt like its entire reason for being was to be the optimal data collector. Everything Meta does is driven by that need, and this never revealed itself as an exception.

That view also felt like the simplest explanation for why they re-implemented things we can already do extremely efficiently without a virtual world, while largely ignoring the efficiencies and innovation that a virtual world can bring.
Yeah, I don't think anyone told him about WindsorGreen, the RSA-cracking supercomputer that IBM built for the NSA. RSA-1024 probably should be assumed unsafe at this point.

It's nice to read an article showing someone with serious empathy and understanding. We need more of that these days.

But it's also immediately obvious that more of this cannot possibly be the solution. This article is basically the "California liberal" solution turned up to 11: maximum personalized attention, empathy, "softness" plus several opportunities for housing. And yet as the article shows, you put a homeless person with extreme mental illness and/or addiction into a shelter/apartment/SRO/wherever and they will usually end up homeless again. And this system has an extremely high cost. People harassed or attacked by the homeless. Volunteers and government employees with their own trauma from the things they deal with when working with the homeless. Sections of cities that are unlivable. Even when there's a "success story" it is usually "this person's life still sucks, they're still addicted and have the same other demons but now life sucks in a shitty apartment in a shitty neighborhood instead of in a park where it's other people's problem."

The only real option is prevention. We need stronger communities, stronger families, mentorship for young people. The interventions from the article, across the small handful of homeless men described, cost at least several million dollars. Take a fraction of that money and invest it in new windows and fresh paint and flowerbeds in the neighborhoods they grew up in. Give them access to nutritious food and exercise. Provide for regular contact with community leaders and mentors and people who can make a difference in their lives. Allocate money to wholesome community activities (sports, robotics, arts, etc) such that they can vacuum up all the free time of a teenager with nothing better to do. Every dollar invested in each of these things will repay itself a hundredfold.

Much of homelessness is a disease without a cure. What do you do with a disease without a cure? Prevent it.
at this point I just assume it's a given that he's tweeting misleading information. it seems like he removes all attempts removing community notes on himself as well. I just don't think the lay person on twitter, which is dumber than a an average layperson, can learn these things in 1 graph or 200 chars.

The problem with that argument is that it will have you waiting forever for a gig as cushy at Mark Zuckerberg's.

If you wanted to start a company like Zuckerberg's you had one place (Silicon Valley) and a time period of less than ten years in which things like that were getting funded (or alternately, a similar window in China that may or may not still be open)

You'll always be able to find people who want to be partners in a restaurant, whether or not they are out of their mind is another question.
One major point of the presentation here is that it's not making real progress. People are still publishing papers, but they have done nothing with an effect outside their little community. It's been in roughly the same state for the last 10 years. For a minimum of 30 years, there have been promises of amazing things coming in the next decade in QC. After how many decades should those predictions lose credibility?

There is real opportunity cost to doing this stuff, and real money getting sucked up by these grifters that could be spent on real problems. There are real PhD students getting sucked down this rabbit hole instead of doing something that actually does make progress. There is a real cost to screwing around and making promises of "next decade."
Never used an auto-dialer myself, but it would be trivial to code one. Just send ATDT<number> out the serial port and see if "CONNECT" comes back before timing out.

Back in that time, I think a good rate was $0.01/minute for a local call on a consumer landline. Unlimited calling plans came later. Not attributing any intent to the telco, just saying, there would be no cost issue to motivate an investigation.
Most wireless standards transmit some kind of pilot sequence next to the payload. A pilot is a sequence that is well-known to both TX and RX, and which allows the receiver to estimate the effect that the propagation has on the signal. The channel estimate is then used for equalization, i.e. undoing the channel effect.

For WiFi, some of the pilot symbols are called L-LTF (802.11g+n) and HT-LTF (802.11n). Every packet contains them as they are needed for successful communication. The ESP32 can provide channel estimates based on L-LTF and HT-LTF for any packet it receives. No need to enable anything, you can get CSI from every packet.

There's a "Growing B2B SaaS" podcast that had a guest that made an impression on me. He said tech is the wrong industry to try to grow a lifestyle business. You can do it, but your business is substantially more likely to be disrupted than more brick and mortar industries.

You might've had a solid calendar scheduling app in 2015, but by 2024 everyone is eating your lunch from every angle, while the plumbers continue to plumb. And the major moats like network effects or marketing specialization usually only apply to larger businesses.

His advice was to always go big, grow quickly, and sell quickly. Even if you go smaller for a higher chance success, the income stream likely will crumble as soon as you stop actively pressing forward with the product because of the intense competition in the software space. The lower risk option of growing and selling quickly, in his estimation, was the best risk-adjusted return.
Ah, the struggle of life: finding the lowest gradient slope to climb that results in the largest maxima. A slope where you're not too early, not too late, where you can build a moat, and where you hopefully enjoy the journey.
unraveling a stationairy ground based spool first tangles quickly if you lift two loops instead of one. Even if you had a dispencer hole you still snag loops under the dispenser that might get knots and snag the drone.
Second, you would now have to drag the whole fiber from the drone down to the ground, overcoming the kilometers resistance dragging all the cable over the ground and on top of all that extra force you also have to put tension on the spool at the start to unwind it.

If you unwind the spool hanging under the drone by a rotating shaft through the spool, you do not have any tension on the fiber (but for a few grams of its weight if you unspool to slowly) and the weight of the fiber in the air even helps unspool the fiber (although you want to prevent that by speeding up the unwinding)
I sure has heck don't want to waste a day of my vacation shopping for something I forgot.
I wonder if people would be more introverted/extroverted depending on the fit with the people they are around.

like if you spent all day with people you had a LOT in common, would an introvert relax and be "more extroverted". Not only subject matter, but maybe social compatibility, like polite conversation style?

I wonder if there could be communities for introverts that would make them more relaxed.
To be honest it is unclear if this is grifting, or just stupidity. I think the latter is more likely. And stupidity is probably not impeachable...
You should support your kid, in the best way you know how. :) That’s all.

MIT is not for everyone. I saw many students completely fold under the pressure, both from the expectations of being told they were “gifted” their whole lives, and from the sudden realization that they might be in the top 1% but might still be in the bottom third at MIT; that is a new experience for many. Also, many students just never learned how to study, since public school was easy for them, so that’s a whole ‘nother thing.

The point is: MIT is amazing, and there are countless students who would do incredibly well there. From any given year’s applications, MIT could form dozens of full-sized classes and all would do very well. If your kid doesn’t get in, that doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy or good enough; they might just be in one of those other dozens of other-timeline also-great classes.

But there are people for whom MIT does not work well; ultimately, it’s the student that knows themselves best. Do they thrive under pressure? Is curiosity essentially their top value? For me, the moment I visited MIT I knew it was the place I wanted to be. These were my people. Now it was just a question of whether or not I won the lottery of getting in.
This happens far too often, but I’ve never seen good advice on how to prevent it. All I ever see is “we as users need to be better.”
Their interview practices (at least the first round and two years ago) are quite fair. A couple of take-home programming exercises that are respectful of your time. And they'll grant feedback if you ask, if you don't pass.

An impossibly high bar. So we just take people at their word then?
Tech workers got fired so FBI/IRS workers should also get fired? What is the logic here? As far as I'm aware the FBI/IRS have nothing whatsoever to do with the tech job market, let alone individual employees.

As far as public sentiment wrt the firings go, it isn't super surprising that people are more upset about government employees getting fired. Big tech is becoming increasingly associated with things people don't like. Ads, toxic social media, gig economy, annoying CEOs (admittedly not the fault of the workers), AI in many cases, scams, pricing people out of cities they grew up in, etc. I think if you randomly selected a federal government employee and a tech worker, there's a much better chance the government employee is doing something more helpful for the average American.

I've wondered if introducing a small but omnipresent random delay in all trading requests might suffice. Something like 0-100 milliseconds. Just enough to moderate some of the advantage that physically co-located automated traders have, while not outright banning it.

I'm sorry, but it's very hard to take this project seriously: You originally claimed that it was 1.5x faster than Lefthook, but then you removed the parallel support from the Lefthook (https://github.com/jdx/hk/commit/ad473331db2866f6574555ac4b0...) and changed your claim to "4.6x faster". These numbers are also just for some a specific workload (Prettier, ActionLint, pkl eval, ripgrep, cargo fmt) on this specific repo. For now the "4.6x number" is heavily based on the fact you have five jobs and Hk runs commands in parallel by default while you let Lefthook run them sequentially. I bet you can turn that number into 10x if you just add a few more jobs!

> Despite what everyone here says: yeah, just doing CLIs in Rust will be faster than Go and for CLIs like this milliseconds matter.

You've shown nothing to suggest that this is true. On my computer "lefthook --help" is exactly as fast as "hk --help". There's also many other differences between these tools. YAML vs Pkl is one difference. Another one is that Lefthook shells out to "git" to determine the list of staged files, while Hk uses libgit2. Which of these are faster? I'm not sure! It might even depend on repository size and/or other details. And as we all agree: In practice the parallelism strategy will matter the most.

> As I said in the doc I think real-world performance in a large codebase will show that hk is even faster still

I'm absolutely sure that you will be able to tweak hk to become the "fastest" pre-commit runner in your designated category. I'm also pretty sure that similar optimizations will apply quite easily to Lefthook. They're after all doing pretty much the same thing.
The cost benefit calculation is, of course, reasonable. But there are 2 things that need to happen here.

1. Run a complex process requiring human intervention to determine age where it is hard to determine

2. Enter the result of step 1 in the DB

And it's pretty obvious that 99.99% of the cost of this is coming from step 1. So I find it completely implausible that just tracking the results here, when a single error could potentially result in a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars, is not cost effective.
Why is it called Roark?
That's true, but only if the thing they want is money. For example, a commercial software developer might fund lawsuits against its open-source competitor even with no hope of recovering significant cash, because the goal is simply to destroy that competitor.

Probably they'd lose eventually. The effect on the defendant would be big regardless though, and that's the point. A lawsuit doesn't have to win to be a useful economic weapon, just to survive long enough to inflict the intended pain on your opponent.

That's not even an engineering salary, and you haven't factored in operational costs. It needs to be higher than this. And there's also no guarantee the business will last.
> which leads to the question of what did cause the payouts to stop?

Pretty obviously the most common reason would be that the payments never started in the first place.

US social security payments don't start automatically on reaching an age, but you need to apply for them, right? Processing the application would be the ideal time to do all kinds of validity checks.

Vacation hours are precious. It's not about the cost of the goods you're buying, it's about the unique experiences you could have been having instead.

An Effective Treatment for Opioid Addiction Exists. Why Isn't It Used More?
Something is formally interesting when it varies a basic aspect of the genre. A song that was one long verse with no chorus would be formally interesting. Throbbing Gristle was formally innovative in exploring noise rock and creating "industrial" music. Kid A was a formally interesting British rock album (to the point of alienating fans). The Flaming Lips made an album delivered on 4 CDs that you'd queue up and play simultaneously, so that the minute differences in timing would ensure no listen was precisely the same. Formally interesting (also: not very good).

By 1993, neither REM nor (obviously) The Smashing Pumpkins were formally interesting bands. But REM would go on to make the same album, just with fewer and fewer hooks. Adore, on the other hand, was the Pumpkins Kid A, a transition from "Shopping Mall Shoegazer" to gothy electronic (it gives me no pleasure to report that the album predates Kid A by 2 years, but may have been expedited by Corgan's hair loss). It wasn't, like, a great album, because the Pumpkins are not Radiohead. But it was a departure, both from their previous catalog and from what was playing on the radio at the time.

(I reassure myself by telling myself that both Radiohead and the Smashing Pumpkins stole this musical shift from Bjork).

An aside: I think you will in the future find that dunks work better when you don't precede them by saying out loud "I don't know what the words in this dunk mean".

Like what systems?
If US allies are doing a full 180 because a democratic country elected someone a bit different then their US relations were founded on delusion and it was never going to end well for anyone. It is easy to fall into the trap of negotiating with a faceless bureaucracy but that isn't how democracies actually work. They rethink the basics from time to time. Particularly when they're under stress and the status quo isn't working. We all know that, democracy has been a thing for more than 2,00 years. This isn't a new thing.

I suppose ultimately it is a question for the US to debate internally how much to string people along; but my advice would be that it is better to root long term relations on a basis of common interests and basic power dynamics. Trump's approach looks pretty typical for someone with a lot of experience negotiating. You can hoodwink someone in good times or for tactical gain, but for a long term working relationship it in necessary to be straightforward about what the interests and goals are.

> The Democrats offered the "outcome" of a competently-run government

The trick is that the Republicans paint their identity politics as “helping the poor” by scapegoating all types of other people for the economic misery of the lower income earners. The Democrats don’t have a vision which includes lower income earners to a large extent. I remember most of Kamala’s campaign promises, and they seemed to me to promise more of the same policies which favor upper middle classes.
