Show HN: Notifire – Notifications for Anything
Hi HN, I have built a web app that allows you to set up and receive notifications for anything you want!

I was motivated by my own desire to easily stay updated with things going on, such as news events, announcements for products I want to use, or when films or TV shows are available in theatres or on streaming in my region.

Notifire allows you to do this all in one place, whatever it is, using natural language to define what you want to get notified about. The only catch is that the information is available and searchable on the public Internet.

Happy to hear any feedback, and keen to hear what interesting ideas people can use this for.
EV batteries have been performing much better than dying after just 700 cycles. Also, power is generally cheapest overnight when there is excess grid capacity. People with variable electricity pricing and battery banks make money by charging overnight and releasing power to the grid during peak hours. Commercial vehicles typically get more like 6,000 cycles out of a battery pack.
I am pretty sure anyone who sticks around Jane Street for a while is getting “rich” by any popularly accepted measure.
This already feels like a reddit discussion. You made points all outlined in the article I linked.

I'm not qualified to speak to hypotheticals and likely neither is anyone else here. However, the only consequences are either Congress removing him, the cabinet removing him via Article 25, an armed uprising, or potentially a Big Mac.

Until any of those happen, there are no consequences for the duration.
The BBC series was really excellent. Stephen Mangan was perfectly cast. I enjoyed it way more than Sherlock or anything else at the time that took itself too seriously.
This video walks through the tech in a very explainable way, and the interviewer asks a lot of pointed questions.

https://youtu.be/b_EoZzE7KJ0

To your questions

> 1) keep the hole from collapsing

They are vaporizing the rock which turns everythingeft into an obsidian like substance.

> 2) remove the volume of rock required to continue going down

As the rock is vaporized, they push nitrogen gas down the hole to cycle the vapor back to the surface

The video goes through the main challenges they have, like rate of penetration, power output and other small issues.

Will they be successful? Who knows, but the concept seems sound and the tech is proven. Can they do it at scale and consistently enough to change drilling worldwide? Who knows.
While there's many definitions, I'd concentrate on zero-sum vs non-zero-sum games. Lots of games in trading are effectively zero-sum games - if I make 100USD, you lose 100USD (there's details about transaction costs going to exchanges that make this more nuanced, but the principle applies). A chunk of financial engineering games are not : for example risk pooling games. A big part of finance for example is liquidity provisioning games - which kindof boil down to risk pooling games in the limit. But unfortunately - a _very_ big chunk of the financial markets is zero-sum.

Even in a purely digital world - most of the economy is not zero sum - i.e., it _creates_ wealth. I pay you 100USD for 1 million LLM tokens - a purely digital transaction - the net result of this is the 1 million tokes that I can consume and use - net of the transaction.
I don't know what you categorize it as (I usually call it an "educational standup"), but his last talk before his death "Parrots, The Universe, and Everything" is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It's very funny, with a lot of interesting anecdotes about his life, with a lot of interesting facts about animals, and he manages to tie the entire thing together with a pretty clever theme about the environment. I genuinely think it's one of the greatest public speeches ever done, at least in the English language.

If you haven't seen it, it's an hour and a half long, and it's totally worth it:

I hope you succeed. I've downloaded and at least skimmed hundreds of papers ML, many alternative architectures. A subset of them built prototypes that claimed good results on benchmarks. Of those, many didn't pass further scrutiny due to various failures. Those that did pass often failed on real-world tasks despite doing well on benchmarks. That we're so jaded by failures of published models makes us even more skeptical of unpublished methods.

So, each architectural advance needs published prototypes solving real-world problems. The smallest I've seen do useful stuff are in 100+M-3B range. There are also papers about testing advances with low, pretraining cost: BabyLM; GPT2 replications; MosaicBERT. Some do straight pre-training while others distill field-proven models. Alternative architectures would do well to crank out examples like this to prove themselves.

Please, do build at least one of the above using your method. Post it to your site. Link to demos of the actual prototype in use. This might get an ecosystem going that builds on your ideas.
My wife is currently in the Marshall Islands commemorating an anniversary related to the nuclear testing. The trauma and fallout, cultural and nuclear, persists to this day - over 7 decades (and how many generations?) since the Bravo test.

I've heard and read a lot about the atrocities visited upon the Marshallese in the name of research in the last six months. Including around the potential "intentionality" of the human testing [1]. It is harrowing. And a hard pill to swallow in any context. The Nolan film did the islands little justice.

As an aside: while indirect, the journey to the Marshalls isn't as onorous as the article suggests - yes there's an island hopper, but United also fly direct from Honolulu. Though getting to Bikini is likely another adventure in itself.

I find that the "unnecessary features" and footguns are what makes XML, well, XML. I guess there must be some legitimate usage of those, or at least was back in the day. If you strip them out, you'd end up with a JSON-like (so you may as well use JSON).
Things like Cloudflare are a natural monopoly. They are most useful when they have servers in datacenters worldwide in every possible location. So it takes a lot of capital to start. So competitors are few to none.

Personally, I'd like to see browsers moving away from HTTP for the web, towards something more P2P, so that there is less need for Cloudflare. Something like; look up your site key in DNS, then look up things signed by it in the BitTorrent DHT, and go from there.
This one I've seen caused by N+ burst transmissions tanking the power rail, which causes acknowledgements to be dropped, which causes the esp to lower its TX rate so the TX takes longer...
This reminds me of Renaissance Technologies (Jim Simons, PhD in math from uc berkeley).

He started the company in 1982 after he left academia for finance and leveraged quant models for training, they mostly hire PhD mathematicians, physicists and scientists, working on algorithms.

They have a fund called Medallion that is closed off from outsiders (you have to be an employee I believe), and it averages 66% annual gross returns (39% net after fees). Generated hundreds of billions in profits.
A typical diesel or natural gas city bus has a curb weight between 20,000 and 33,000 lbs[1]. An electric bus I found lists a curb weight of 28,000 lbs[2]. It doesn't seem like extra road wear is going to be a major issue.

It's really wild how Mister Rogers Neighborhood had this slow, thoughtful cadence with long pauses, quiet moments, no flashing graphics or over-the-top antics. It engaged the audience (mostly kids I guess) with something calm and sincere. You don’t see that much anymore.

I sometimes wonder if a show with that same deliberate pacing and emotional intelligence could even succeed today or if it would get buried under all the noise.

You can run Arduino code on anything, since it's mostly just a bit of syntactic sugar around C. But I'm sure you know what I mean.

My point is that people who are attracted to Arduino are, by and large, not the kind of people who want to geek out about the inner workings of the MCU, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I'd suggest the Word of God (Bible). It's full of wisdom which includes the four you mentioned. It can also give you access to our Creator on a personal level, forgiveness for sins you've committed, eternal life, inner change driven by God Himself, and prayer He actually answers. It's pretty awesome.

I usually give people John above. I tell them to ask God to speak to their hearts about the truth. Then, read it all the way through. Ask as you read: "Who is Jesus? What is our problem? How does He say we will be saved? How do we live?"
I'm sorry, I don't see anywhere in either the editorial or the guidelines where they push nature completely out the window in favor of 100% nurture.

They do appear to be putting nature-based explanations under heightened scrutiny. Probably because attempts at those explanations in the past have proven not only wrong, but served as the foundation for extremely anti-human policy.

And if they don't want to be complicit in that, good on them. This isn't the only scientific field where that's the case. Go try to find the precise calculations necessary to get all of the chemistry and physics right to build a hydrogen bomb with a city-busting yield. Not a dirty bomb or enough tactical nuke to blow up a block or three, something more powerful than what was dropped in World War II. Let us know how that goes. Hint: What you will discover is that some constants used in the scientific community and published in widely circulated documents don't quite add up precisely right... And have different values if you can find documents from the United States and from the old Soviet Union.

And also, if you dig deeply enough in the States, eventually some very nice folks from the Department of Energy will show up and express some curiosity and excitement about your project, wondering how they can help. Because, the thing is, almost nobody is doing the kind of physics that requires those numbers to have extremely specific values, and the kind of equipment you have to buy or build to really investigate those numbers in detail is rare and unusual. Rare and unusual enough to show up on some very inexpensive tracking of who is purchasing it. So they just want to make sure that they help you get exactly. The. Right. Numbers.
Yes but USA lets you write off taxes you've already paid to other countries, up to ~$150k - $200k of income IIRC (might be wrong here on the details).

You also get other benefits too though. If you ever become desolate or need help getting home, embassies can help or provide a loan. If war breaks out or some natural disaster happens, America will come for you. You get the power of our passport. You can still collect benefits like social security.

Pros and cons.
General intelligence is overstated sometimes, but it is a thing. Someone who is smart enough to work for Jane Street probably could at least be an intelligence analyst or software developer at the NSA contributing to national security. (Jim Simmons literally was a code breaker during the Vietnam War)

I don't think there's a gene for playing esoteric minigames on the options market while you literally suck at everything else
I read this and think: "I would love to spend a day with Jane Street and teach them how to use notebooks." So much effort is wasted because of knowledge gaps or systems that don't encourage best practices.

I just taught a course to a client this week helping them with this (and other best practices for Python).
The default rails application server is puma and it uses threads
> It disables the radio in between AP beacons, so unless there's a bug in the implementation it should have no noticeable impact to a quiet WiFi station other than saving a lot of power.

A) this increases ripple voltage which eventually impacts RX noise floor. As long as you have enough headroom at the input to your regulator power saving is great, but eventually having a more consistent load becomes the limiting factor for many devices.

B) drastically increases typical latency - not an issue for all applications, but the ESP-IDF network stack has a Nagler that can't always cleanly be disabled and tends to write each little bit of the next layer to the TCP socket.
Financial markets are not zero sum. Wealth is created or destroyed in financial markets despite each trade having a buyer and a seller.
It is a subject that bothers me far more than it should, but when I was first exposed to the term kanban I naturally look it up and go "what on earth does any of this have to do with software?"

The term refers to a method to attach the logistical back pressure mechanism to the logistical items in question, basically distributing it to solve the problems of large central control. However the logistics of software development is very different, Software is mostly research and development with close to zero manufacturing and parts logistics. You would have to model each software feature as a one off custom item with a long lead time. and that is not what the kanban system is good at. Why do you need back pressure control when each item is a one-off?

So software developers came up with a system that works well for them, but instead of giving it it's own name they reused the name from a manufacturing system. thus leading to endless confusion.

If for some unimaginable reason the western world had embraced this philosophy wholeheartedly in 1985, literally billions of people would be struggling in grinding poverty (or worse!) instead of living significantly better lives than their parents or grandparents.

Fascinating stuff. Reminds me of the decreased sleep need associated with hypomania—something attributed to historical figures like Alexander Hamilton or contemporary ones like Elon Musk. I wonder if there’s a shared neurobiological mechanism here, perhaps involving orexin pathways. If so, exploring this overlap might unlock even more interesting avenues for research and therapies.
i never realized that was a programming game but now that I think about it I think it is. I liked that game a lot because it had such nice visuals and gameplay. I still have the CD too.
Well, the typical setup with OneDrive in MS365, is that the overworked manager get’s an email when an employee account is deactivated. The manager has 90 days to search through their OneDrive and copy anything out that they think is needed, possibly to the central SharePoint or to their own OneDrive. I’m sure there are similar policies and procedures in place for enterprise dropbox, box.net, and Google Drive. So typically employee leaves and the manager never gets around to copying data out, 6-9 months later they need something that employee had, and yell at IT to recover it. IT laughs and laughs and then cries.
More importantly, a lot of it was hidden from view. Your washing machine and laundry detergent might be not as good as 30 years ago, but... do you know that for sure? And when did that happen? Maybe you're just imagining it.

Your old home had a gas furnace, and then you bought new construction and it's all-electric. Did the government do this? Are you even gonna think about it when making an offer? Your bill is gonna be higher, but how much of it is just because it's a different home?

And even then... you get away with it for a while, and then it all of sudden becomes a political talking point.
> But buying a Eurofighter or Saab in 2025 seems silly. New avionics is not enough to make them competitive.

Why would that be when the F35 flies like a turd, no matter which variant?

Why would that matter if both F22 and F35 can go supersonic only in short bursts, because otherwise 'der lack ist ab', meaning the paint job and its stealthiness is gone, not to mention bad weather with heavy rain, snow, hail?

Why would new avionics be necessary to be competitive, when the avionics with which they compete still seem like bananaware?

Why is there no US-Aerobatics team flying that capricious crap?

Other nations have very capable missiles, radars and AEW/ECM, too.

It's not about the planes alone, but how they are integrated into operations, how much they cost to operate per unit/time flown, and how much time/man-power is needed to keep them that way between flights/turn around.

Taking all this into account, combined with things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erieye mounted on something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_R-99 the Gripen seems like a very smart and economic choice.

Yeah, this is not that, though. We know how to get to the moon, and a small probe is lighter than 3 people plus a vehicle that allows them to make a return trip.

> Clearly, certain populations have much different mixtures, which explains large portions of variances in human behavior.

Citation needed.

Geneticists can, at best, sometimes figure out what any particular gene does, and yet here you are claiming that you can tie broad behavior differences to traces of the Neanderthal genetic code (Weird, since geneticists can at best, barely correlate the smallest differences in behaviour to particular genes). That's an extraordinary claim, and would require some truly extraordinary evidence.

Behavioral genetics does not have the predictive power that you think it does.

Couching scientific racism behind the fig leaf of 'Behavioural geneticists all know this but refuse to talk about it', fortunately, requires absolutely no actual evidence. In fact, the absence of evidence for it is viewed as evidence for it!

I am biased as a Londoner but it UK Garage is/was a wonderful subgenre of house from the 90s, a uniquely London blend of genres including Chicago house. Infectious stuff. It was a precursor to later genres like Dubstep and Grime which are so popular today.

Spotify has some good playlists. Rosie Gaines 'Closer than Close' and Artful Dodger 'Movin too Fast' or 'Woman Trouble' are good starting points.
