We use discord as a workplace chat platform that has allowed us to make great use of its converged “internal + external” structure. Basically, its works as both a team commons as well as a customer support and customer champion platform.

With everything it has provided for us there, I’m somewhere between shocked and flippant that discord hasn’t served our user category well or really at all. For example i’d love to have better tools to track customer support, measure user sentiment, promote the product to discord users, tie our premium features to discord statuses without using random bots and third parties, and so forth. And none of this needs to come at the expense of its free and open nature.

I still love discord, and I buy nitro for myself simply because we get so much value from the product that buying nitro for myself was “the least I could do”. But still. Huge missed opportunity.

You're rather over doing the self-promotion.
Your conclusion is correct but to be clear the memory is not "fused." It's soldered close to the main processor. Not even a Package-on-Package (two story) configuration.

In what way has it been getting worse? As a casual user I've noticed very little change in the last few years.
Good luck with CF's Tunnel. It may have been the complexity of my network at work, but I wasted a day trying to get that to work. Endless web setup 'wizards' and clicking around different components and their settings in the CF portal. It felt like trying to build out a moderately complicated cloud infra environment.

Tailscale is dead simple, even to create 'routers' that act more like a VPN appliance inside your network. It really does feel like something Apple would've come out with in their hayday: missing advanced features for power users, but is somehow able to deliver what feels like magic with minimal setup.
Bad UX... "chat with thousands of filings" but right after: pick a ticker to start. Sure, click the Chat tab instead. Type a query. Roadblock: you have to log in first. After login, boom query wiped. I'm sure people won't use it for the UX, but UX matters...

Woah, 8x Xeon CPUs on a single motherboard. That is a new record for me.

I found one here from Supermicro: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/X13OEI-CP...

Has anyone see one of these in action? What was the primary use case? Monolithic database server?
Like others have said, basically traditional GPUs (RTX 40/50 series in particular, 20/30 series have much weaker tensor cores).

In terms of software, recent NVIDIA and AMD research has focused on fast evaluation of small ~4 layer MLPs using FP8 weights for things like denoising, upscaling, radiance caching, and texture and material BRDF compression/decompression.

NVIDIA has just put out some new graphics API extensions and samples/demos for loading a chunk of neural net weights and performing inference from within a shader.

Cost of living is an important consideration. I dont know why people are comparing absolute values here. Wages are relative to cost of living.
After working at a company using SDRs, I realized that a well performing SDR is a lot more than an antenna, a DAC/ADC, amplifiers and a processor. You still have analog paths you need to worry about and for many applications those aren't going to cover your 1GHz range. You need to worry about noise, amplification, signal fidelity, etc. You still need a good portion of what makes up a traditional radio. Sure, there are narrowband, low power SDR xcvrs and xmitters but that's not the same thing.

That said, a long time ago I made a test fixture for a 6-bit, 12GHz DAC and it was cool to run it as an arbitrary waveform generator.

Oh well you might really like this, which I think is amazing. Steve Brunton from U Washington has an incredible course on DEs and dynamical systems. It’s a playlist on youtube where he talks through everything on a lightboard in a really incredibly clear way, there are tons of great examples, and he illustrates all the models using python and matlab code. And then a bunch of notes, problem sets etc are available online at the link.

Chat with "millions" of filings. As long as you select them one at a time.
So, let's say HN does burn to a crisp, let's take that as given.

- What is an HN in the world in which we seem to be headed?

- What is the possibility, however slim, that HN might serve as a bulwark against that world? Is that a die worth throwing?

- What is HN's, and YC's, culpability in creating that world? I'm looking at social media, crypto, AI, AdTech, FinTech, Thiel, Musk, Andreesen, and who knows who else here, as well as general enshittification and authoritarianisation of the Internet (surveillance, propaganda, disinformation, censorship, targeted manipulation,[1] kompromat, the intertwingled and self-reinforcing surveillance capitalism/state/anarchism, killbots, etc.).

- What if any sufficient difference would change your mind? Do you, dang, have any personal moral limits at which you'd change your moderator stance, or simply wash your hands and walk away? Or not?

I borrowed Anubis's scales, and it seems to me HN compares poorly to the feather of the liberal social democratic experiment.

Turning HN into a Nazi bar[2] is also an irreversible outcome. As is turning the polity in which it resides into a fascist state.

Scylla, Charybdis. How steer you helmsman?

2. A question I've pondered for a while. Toy poll suggests at the least a perception issue: <https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/112922175293010508>.
In a different messenger: people enable disappearing messages in WhatsApp not because of a threat model but because they don't want their phone to run out of space. The problem here is that messages are deleted for everybody in the chat and I saw people complaining about that in group chats. They would like that messages are deleted only for the people that enabled disappearing messages on their phones. Sometimes the creator of the group realized that everybody was an admin, set only themselves as admin and disabled disappearing messages.

I don't own an iPhone so I don't know for sure if old messages clog iPhones too but the article hints that this is the case.

Maybe Apple is happy to sell new phones with more storage to people that run out of space. Maybe iMessage is a tiny storage eater, maybe not. Photos, videos, vocal messages are on the phone forever too?

We do this in Arch Linux. It requires someone handling the registrations which isn't great either.
I‘ve tried the very early Q4 mlx release on an M1 Max 32GB (LM Studio @ default settings), and have run into severe issues. For the coding tasks I gave it, it froze before it was done with reasoning. I guess I should limit context size. I do love what I‘m seeing though, the output reads very similar to R1, and I mostly agree with its conclusions. The Q8 version has to be way better even.

I have a kid, and I'm very sad about the state of the world my daughter going to live. I was relatively lucky, she is not.

They already sell the eUp, which in my country costs €18k after government incentives. It has a range of 260km.

This looks like it is just a replacement for that in the "ID" range.
That’s exactly why I put the spend limit, and this was the first time to confirm that it actually works.
Is this really an authoritarian regime survival guide or a not-too-hidden jab at the Trump presidency?

Like I don't see too many of the items applying to classically authoritarian regimes like China.

Let's apply the guide's own advice:

> Always think critically, fact-check and point out the truth, expose ignorance with facts.

The guide after all is written by Eastern / Europeans, the people is getting expropriated the most by Trump, in January 2017, right as Trump got elected and the democratic "resistance" movement was all the range. (Surprisingly, Trump 2 is even more extreme, and no more talk of resistance).
Show HN: Would you build your startup if you knew it had no chance?
Hey HN,
I built ScribeAI to help founders/entrepreneurs avoid wasting months on bad startup ideas. Too many of us fall in love with an idea, spend time building, and then realize there’s no market for it. I’ve been there, and I wanted a faster, data-driven way to validate ideas.

How it works: 1⃣ Enter your startup idea 2⃣ ScribeAI scans the web for competitors, trends, and risks 3⃣ Get an instant breakdown: Should you pursue it or not?

No more endless Googling or guessing if your idea is worth it. Just quick, actionable insights.

I’d love your feedback! What would make this more useful for you? Try it out and let me know what you think.
Lichess was indeed perfect. I was hoping for a self-hosted solution like hedgedoc but lichess does what it needs to.

People portray everything in terms of the ideological war between "democracy" vs "authoritarianism", fitting everything into that narrative even when it doesn't make sense.

It's a nice, simple, easy way to understand what's happening around us, who's good and bad, yet deeply flawed.

Why does that necessitate a haphazard approach? It's surely still possible to make a detailed assessment and prioritise properly?
On the flipside of this: To understand how to establish, retain, and fail in running your authoritarian regime, I found The Dictator's Handbook by Alastair Smith and Bruce Bueno de Mesquita a very fun read. Although repetitive at times (as history often does so itself), it gives a systems-oriented framework of how power concentrates as it does, and various outcomes we get out of it. Definitely in line with the way of thinking most HNers appreciate.

Increases in spending do not imply impossibilitynto think about cuts. That is not how it works.

The not think part is a deliberate choice as described in project 2025 - to cause fear and chaos.
A behaviorist perspective on justice, punishment, and rehabilitation does not require morality.

1. Pragmatism - Justice can be effectively framed around practical outcomes and societal safety, it requires no moral framework.

2. Remorse and Emotional Response - Feelings of remorse can be understood as conditioned responses shaped by environmental influences rather than as reflections of moral responsibility; remorse does not necessitate moral weight as they can arise from societal conditioning and past experiences.

3. CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Approaches demonstrate that behavioral and emotional changes can occur without delving into moral implications, and requires no moral reflection.

4. Behavioral Accountability - Individuals can be held accountable for their actions based solely on their observable behavior and its consequences, without the need for moral judgments. The focus is on modifying harmful behaviors through interventions and reinforcements rather than assigning moral blame.

So, this framework provides a rational and effective approach to understanding and managing human behavior, focusing on the pragmatic aspects of justice, rehabilitation, and accountability, it does not require an already shaky and subjective moral judgment or moral accountability, and as thus, need not be morally justified.

If you want me to elaborate (with examples, too), I am willing to as my time allows.
> If the UI jitter on their phone was "so jarring", it's not because it's 60 Hz. It's because the phone's CPU isn't keeping up.

No, it's not. This isn't about dropped frames or micro-stutters caused by the CPU. It's about _motion clarity_.

You can follow the objects moving around on the screen much better, and the perceived motion is much smoother because there is literally twice the information hitting your eyes.

You can make a simple experiment — just change your current monitor to 30hz and move the mouse around.

Does it _feel_ different? Is the motion less smooth?

It's not because your computer is suddenly struggling to hit half of the frames it was hitting before; it's because you have less _motion information_ hitting your eyes (and the increased input lag; but that's a separate conversation).

60->120fps is less noticeable than 30->60fps; but for many, many people it is absolutely very clearly noticable.

> Like, nobody watches a video filmed at 60 fps and then watches their favorite TV show or a motion picture at 24 fps and says "the jitter was so jarring".

People absolutely complain about jitter in 24fps content on high-end displays with fast response times; it is especially noticeable in slow panning shots.

Google "oled 24fps stutter" to see people complaining about this.

It's literally why motion smoothing exists on TVs.
I does remember but you have to ask for. Try to say "make a bookmark at this point" and later ask for that bookmark. You can even give the bookmark a name or ask it to do so for you.
I think that a right-wing American that reads this can even think it is about the left. They are already that divided. I agree that this is not (or no longer) a place to discuss these things, or play “devils” advocate, or steelmanning the other side, it will be seen as gaslighting. Your post will be buried.
Leaflet looks like an amazing library. We only came across it and the naming collision after we got started, and so far haven't had too much confusion, but definitely a good idea to be aware when we do an SDK. Would love to make the confusion worse by including a map block in leaflet.pub via leafletjs someday though!
Current USA leadership is not concerned with negative pushback from abroad.
I understand and share that viewpoint, FWIW.

A key problem with that as a major argument is that 1) that group is unlikely to be persuaded regardless,[1] and 2) the disenfranchised population seems plausibly capable of having altered the outcome.

________________________________

Notes:

1. I'm increasingly of the view that political debate is far less about persuasion and far more about motivation and probably even moreso demotivation. At least in the present media landscape. The wrong side's been winning that war of late in the US. Though as many political commentators have noted, the theme in 2024 seems to have been less authoritarian advantage than incumbent disadvantage (see esp. Tory loss in UK). Even given that, a challenge is that authoritarian wins tend to be stickier (through promulgation of further anti-democratic voter exclusion, amongst other means) than nonauthoritarian wins. Reversing that trend will be a major challenge for the next few decades, should it even be possible.
In this case it really is just you. I can tell a high-refresh-rate display from across the room. I can tell if someone’s iPhone is a Pro even if the person is sitting five meters away from me on a moving bus.

On the other hand, my MacBook has a 120 Hz display and both my iPad Mini and iPhone Mini are 60 Hz, and even though the difference is night and day, I don’t really MIND using them. It’s just not that cool.
Well, a more normal approach would be to tell various administrators that they're getting a lot less funding and let them figure out what they want to cut. There are some obstacles to doing that with the government, but if you could make it stick it's better in every fundamental way.

Whether that would preserve the Chinese air quality program is open to question. It's an extremely cost-effective way to look good (in front of most of the world, but especially in front of China) while making the CCP look bad. But while that may be a goal that the administration supports, it also isn't a goal that lends itself to a lot of hard objective metrics, which makes choosing to keep it a risk in some ways.
well they aren’t targeting you as a customer at all, it has never been ‘intended’ to use discord for business, let alone for support
Awesome! Missingno was what i meant. Thank you!
They exist because of justified lack of trust
, and by people taking advantage advantage of that lack of trust.for their own benefit.

(Mis)Information is just the tool.

Being the world leader in everything was whatade the US great, these sort of data networks was part of what made it great.

What made it less great is the decimation of all industry except for PR,finance,services and software. Plus the fact corporates were allowed to buy politicians.

This caused all the wealth to be super concentrated.

The losers were gaslighted and completely lost trust in the system.

Now the vultures come to finish the job. Blaming transgenders and immigrants for all the problems.
No way. More teeth → more cavities for them to fix :) they'll likely be the ones administering the treatment to have them grow anyway
Yeah, I mean the supreme court already knocked down Trump's whole USAID thing. The US is very far from authoritarianism, the institutions seem quite strong and thats something I believe Americans recognized when they voted for him, that it was just a bit of a risk but it was unlikely he would actually be successful in toppling the government.
> They will distort the truth, deny facts and blatantly lie. They will try to make you forget what facts are, sedate your need to find the truth. They will feed “post-truths” and “alternative facts”, replace knowledge and logic with emotions and fiction.

Having followed the news/social media for a while while also having read a lot about electric cars, this statement is true already. Most articles or posts about EVs “distort the truth, deny facts and blatantly lie”. Sometimes with some basic knowledge and math you can easily spot the flaws in the article, but the articles are often so drenched in emotion that it’s hard to keep rational.
Youth is typically left leaning, and hn is a young crowd.
I guess I'll take the bait. If it's "pretty clear" that all of these are wins to you, then I think you might be part of the other extreme pole to what you're arguing happens here. Leaving all nuance behind doesn't really help the discussion.

For example: I'm excited to see how trade wars with the world turns out for the US, but I'm not sure it's a guaranteed win.
lol did it at least get it right?
I don't think those examples make any sense in the context of voting for self-interest.

- gerrymandering: voting for someone that will gerrymander is once again voting for your own interests (this time at the expense of democratic values). If the prone-to-gerrymander candidate you are voting for does in fact gerrymander, it is likely to be in favor of that political party (which is the one you voted for).

- Voter ID: I think everyone who wants stronger voter ID laws and is voting for them is not particularly worried about not having an ID when it comes time to vote in the next election.

- Reducing voting stations is an interesting one, but again I think most of the people who would vote for a party that reduces voting stations are not worried about access to them (either because they can easily take time off to vote, they are quite mobile, or because they are happy with mail-in-ballots).

So I think you are helping make my point, but in the opposite direction of how you meant – those are a bunch of examples of people voting selfishly in a way that could hurt democracy. I want people that would vote for such things to vote against their own self-interest, and instead vote for what is best for the health of our democratic republic.
I've seen a few of these kinds of posts. They are good but is there a "definitive" source that is published or something?
The actual numbers depend on the state of the economy, but you can't just lower the one without considering the others.

Historically "major tax cuts" were actually very small:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S

These were tax cuts on the order of 1-3% of GDP, so of course the effect on GDP growth was similarly muted.

Meanwhile the baseline level of recent US GDP growth isn't 4%, it's more like 2.5%, making a 0.5% increase much more significant for such a small tax cut, so it's not absurd that a hypothetical doubling of the growth rate could result from a hypothetical 15% of GDP reduction in taxes. The hypothetical was just using larger numbers on multiple dimensions.

You get a similar payback period if you use smaller numbers all around, e.g. a reduction in the overall tax rate from 23% to 21.5% resulting in an increase in the GDP growth rate from 2.5% to 3%.

Moreover, the exact rate is difficult to calculate given limited data (and depends on changing factors in the economy), but the point is the existence of the effect. And it's not obvious that even quite long payback periods wouldn't be worth it, since the lower tax rate and the higher growth rate could then be sustained thereafter indefinitely.
