Not everyone is cut out to build online businesses, and while it’s never been more accessible to young people, it’s never been more competitive and hard to get attention.
Yes. Highly educated people tend to the left, and education is highly correlated to income.

> the alternative is basically to impose artificial scarcity to force people to work

No, the alternative is reality: people pay each other to do things they want done and for things they want to buy from them. There's no artificial scarcity. There's a vast amount of intricate, well-priced effort to reduce or remove scarcity.

> EV sales in the US have been slowing

Predominantly because Tesla is slowing, and that's where most EV sales were - see: https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q4-2024-ev-sales/

> Most major auto manufacturers ended 2024 with record EV sales, with Tesla being a notable exception.

> General Motors increased its sales by 50% to become the second largest EV seller in the US, Ford's EV sales increased 35%,

> and Kia and Hyundai expanded by 74% and 77% respectively.

EV sales excluding Tesla in the US are expected to be up >20% across the board.
Side note, the article says, "As writers and editors ourselves, we certainly get the desire not to have one's work ripped off or repurposed without payment, but even effective DRM imposes annoying costs on those who actually paid the money for the thing."

Can we acknowledge now that the widespread hyperscale theft of work the big AI companies engaged in demonstrates DRM does nothing to protect anyone?

Asahi is what the project to get Linux running on modern macs is called. For a stable Mint-like experience there's a Debian version (Mint is based off Debian) that includes the Cinnamon desktop as an option in the installer, so that would be most similar to what you're familiar with. (worth mentioning though that Fedora is the flagship Asahi version, so that may be more stable. I don't have personal experience)

> What did they have to do? `systemctl disable systemd-timesyncd` is not very complicated. If they want to create a service, they can have it disable timesyncd iff chrony has started successfully (in an ExecStartPost), or doing a logic chain.

This was over 5 years ago so I don't recall the details, but it did involve an issue/bug with systemd's handling of the way its internal services were disabled - it MAY have been unique to RHEL. Their fix was ultimately to upgrade RHEL that by then defaulted to chrony, but they were planning on that upgrade anyways. At the time I was making fun of my friend for using Kubernetes, which IMO is another overly complicated solution. :-P

> Maybe I can help you with that - I used to run a non systemd DHCP

Thanks, but I did solve most of the problems; it was a pain as both documentation and other issues (that again may be resolved) at the time made it a much larger hassle and we were an ubuntu shop moving from upstart to systemd that ubuntu 16.04 moved to. Now that systemd has "won out" (and I have accepted that it has), there's more clear and concise examples in documentation and stack overflow. I still dislike that it bloated out what IMO should be just a service and process management framework, though.

> RE IPv6

As I said, IPv6 (and IPSec) was used as an example of how flexibility is required when supporting services or protocols (and I'm a bit pleasantly surprised that systemd-networkd does), not an issue I was actually fighting. Also, enough consumer ISPs hand out /64's that flexibility isn't easy.

I'm also a strong believer that network configurations shouldn't be "chunked" out into multiple files, as it makes it harder to get a holistic configuration view. Fortunately that's a rare experience I need to deal with in today's world and I don't use linux as a router.

Show HN: 1-844-HEY-VAPI – voice AI platform for developers
Hey HN, I’m Jordan, founder of Vapi. For the past 1.5 years, we've been building voice infrastructure designed to help developers easily create, test, and deploy voice agents. We’re everything between raw models (like the realtime API) and end-users interacting with voice agents over telephony or within applications.

We’ve been around for about 1.5yrs. Vapi was born out of a personal frustration—I wanted to build my own voice agent but found existing solutions extremely limited. Back then, there were only a handful of voice AI startups. Since March 2024, we've witnessed a Cambrian explosion of new entrants.

In the early days, the biggest challenge was always latency. But as models have rapidly improved and funding has flooded into the space, voice agents are now trusted for business-critical applications like prior authorizations, payment processing, and customer support.

Today’s challenge is reliability: can these voice agents consistently perform in production?
What we’ve learned deploying 1000s of them: Yes, but it's really hard.

Why? Real-time is unweildy—coordinating 10+ third party real-time models, handling diverse, unconstrained inputs and outputs, with no latency budget for reasoning and reflection. Voice interactions don’t follow a linear flow like text, making determinism a challenge. Getting it right takes a ton of tuning and iteration.

Our approach does not simplify, it assumes it will be hard. We’re built for developers. We expose extensive configuration options through an API-native platform, including custom models, 100+ integrations, and detailed call testing and monitoring features.

--

Tldr; it works!

- We achieve performance equivalent to humans for use cases with clear user intent (appointment bookings, support, etc.).

- We've handled over 44M voice calls across support automation, healthcare intake, and logistics.

- We reliably manage long-running jobs (10–60+ minutes) with 99.95% uptime.

Questions we’re still exploring:

- When you have a complex product with 1000s of nobs, how do you help developers wield them, without heavy consulting?

- How do you detect and eliminate bad actors when the line can be blurry / not enough context to make the call on what is fraud and what isn’t?

- How do you guarantee reliability when we are built on services that are less reliable than industry standard (e.g. OpenAI posts < 99.9% uptime)

--

You can try a live agent by calling: 1-844-HEY-VAPI. Yes, that’s my voice.

Docs: https://docs.vapi.ai/introduction

Let me know if you have any questions about voice; the market or the tech. Happy to poke the eng team to chat on architecture, etc. if it’s of interest.

PS- we are also launching on product hunt today. we got an awesome team working really hard to make that happen, so pls support, thanks!

In construction, if all you're doing is building (essentially) the same house, with minor variations, and little risk, you can make very accurate estimates.

In contrast, the construction projects that go over schedule and over budget typically involve a certain degree of novelty where you just can't say, "it typically takes me 5 months to build a house from these plans, so it'll probably take 5 months."

The thing with software is that no one writes the same program over and over again. It's more like the situation where someone is building a unique bridge and it goes over budget.
what kind of nonsense are they doing with a link that uBO would block it? is it a 3rd party JS library that assembles an element that then places the link as stylized embed?

Anvil (https://anvil.works) | Senior Developer | Cambridge, UK | ONSITE, VISA | Full-time/part-time/flexible

We make an open-source web framework, an online code editor, a GUI builder, and a PaaS hosting platform. Together, you can build and host a full-stack web application - and all you need is a little Python. (Yes, even the client-side code - we compile Python to JS and provide a GUI framework!)

We’re looking for an experienced all-rounder to work on the core Anvil platform, with a focus on the back-end. Our stack is mostly Clojure, Javascript, Python, Postgres, and container tools – but we're looking for someone who isn't afraid to jump into something you haven't used before.

You’ll be working with other seriously good all-rounders, including the founders (relevant PhDs, kernel contributors, builders of backyard dancing fountains) and senior colleagues (eg: Stu went from teaching Python in maths class to reverse-engineering our drag'n'drop editor in months), as well as our other developers and developer advocates. We're bootstrapped and profitable, with a small, smart, friendly and diverse team.

Building dev tools is great! We're solving problems we've experienced ourselves, our customers are developers just like us, and platforms have the most fun engineering problems.

For full job descriptions, and to hear what it's like working here, go to https://anvil.works/jobs.

We work hybrid (in the office Tue-Thu, wherever you like Mon/Fri). If you have questions, I'm a founder and my email's in my profile.
I'm looking at https://beeline.co/pages/beeline-cycling for example, but it isn't clear what display they're using, it looks like regular LCD, not even anti-glare? What's nice with e-Ink, is that it's highly visible even in strong sunlight (extra so when they've focused on anti-glare), while LCD even with anti-glare can be difficult to see.
I've been looking for an e-ink maps/GPS device for years. I feel like turn-by-turn would be a waste of the e-ink, but more like, topo maps that I can use with a compass, and just power the device on for a moment whenever I want a new map tile.

But none of the e-ink devices I've found have an internal GPS chip, and I haven't dug deep enough to find if any have an internal UART or i2c pins to which I could attach one. (Nor do I have any clue how to make the OS see it after I do that.)

It looks like this is just using BlueNMEA to inhale GPS sentences from an external device, which is.... something, I guess.

Tesla is in serious financial trouble.
I think I screwed up the adjectives there. Gains and side effects are ~ proportional to dose.
This was written in 2016. 10 years later a lot of things changed, and a lot of back then seemingly good ideas could had turned bad by now.

But there are some things that are valid. Learning, understanding, try to fit it all together, as broad as you can, that keeps working. Being mindful, not overspend, don't get pulled by social trends, and train critical thinking also goes for most times.

But I would give some space to make some (not critical) mistakes. If you survive to them and they don't add a bad weight in your future they work as learning too.

Not really anything dramatically lopsided, but potentially the opposite of their assertion: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/04/09/partisanship...

I can't find a source right now but I think there's some lines to draw between jobs we consider "prestigious" and party affiliation but it's not the same line to draw with wealth, i.e. a professor is considered a more prestigious role than a plumber even though the plumber likely makes more.
I don't think any of those things are true in any meaningful sense. The market isn't as competitive, the pay is perhaps worse compared to FANG-tier programming but good or better than most other professions, and the conditions are hardly that bad. They also aren't going to get replaced by AI tools, which is the more salient point.

Yeah, everyone knows who Levels is.

> Is that more debuggable?

I've seen many approaches to computing in my life - optical, mechanical, hydro, even pneumatic. Classic digital based on CMOS is the most universal with huge range of mature debugging instruments.

CMOS digital is so universal, it even worth to pay magnitudes worse power consumption before find best structure, and then, sure use something less debuggable, but with better consumption.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough data to state, which will be better on power, CMOS or memristor. Just now CMOS is mature COTS tech, but memristor is still few years from COTS.

Cerebras, as I know, based on digital CMOS. Just using some tricks to handle near whole wafer space. BTW, Sir Clive Sinclair tried similar approach to make wafer-scale storage, but unsuccessful.

you're talking about specifically using genetic programming to create new programs as opposed to gradient decend in LLMs to minimize a loss function, right?

How would you construct a genetic algorithm to produce natural language like LLMs do?

Forgive me if i'm misunderstanding, but in programming we have "tokens" which are minimal meaningful bits of code.

For natural languages it's harder. "Words" are not super meaningful on their own, i don't think. (at least not as much as a token) so how would you break down natural language for a genetic algorithm?
Yeah, this is a piece of law that needs to be rectified.

A program is composed of arbitrarily many instructions of your set. How are you accounting for this; trying every possible program length? And you are considering the simpler case where the search space is discrete, unlike the continuous spaces in most machine learning problems.

I think you need to think this through some more. You may see there is a reason nobody uses genetic algorithms for real world tasks.

This is a really great article about binary compatibility!

I disagree with their idea for fixing it by splitting up glibc. I think it's a bad idea because it doesn't actually fix the problems that lead to compat breakage, and it's bad because it's harder than it seems.

They cite these compat bugs as part of their reasoning for why glibc should be split up:

- https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29456

- https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32653

- https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32786

I don't see how a single one of these would be fixed by splitting up glibc. If their proposed libdl or libthread were updated and had one of these regressions, it would cause just as much of a bug as if a monolithic libc updates with one of these regressions.

So, splitting up glibc wouldn't fix the issue.

Also, splitting up glibc would be super nasty because of how the threading, loading, and syscall parts of libc are coupled (some syscalls are implemented with deep threading awareness, like the setxid calls, threads need to know about the loader and vice-versa, and other issues).

I think the problem here is how releases are cut. In an ideal world, glibc devs would have caught all three of those bugs before shipping 2.41. Big corpos like Microsoft manage that by having a binary compatibility team that runs All The Apps on every new version of the OS. I'm guessing that glibc doesn't have (as much of) that kind of process.
