“Startup” implies VC-backed company.

And VC’s invest in companies to get a 100x return.

Which almost by definition means, if you run a startup - you need to get it to become a unicorn for it to be successful.

Otherwise, why take VC money … and just bootstrap it instead.

I'm not necessarily sharing that view, but that is the answer for all the posts, who claim that criticism of trump/musk/Tesla/USA etc. is censored on hn. Enough people are sick of all that politics and want their old hn back. So they use the tools, that hn gives to them and down vote and flag posts.

So this period last year the visits went up 300K, and this year they are down 200K. So compared to the two year ago it's still up 100K? Am I missing anything? It would be interesting to see the data over a multi-year period.

edit: they actually even say that the data "go back for 3 years", but only show 1 year of data.
Seems like DNG does behave like the RAW lite format you've just described: Everything common would be stored within the base DNG file, while everything "advanced" / more specific to a camera would be stored in additional metadata properties, which do not need to be parsed to still be able to process the base image.
You can add support for these metadata on a case-by-case basis without breaking the original format, so you're not stuck re-implementing your whole raw parsing when a new camera is released as the base subset of DNG would still work.

Mackenzie’s analysis holds a grain of truth and remains too simplistic.

If you work at a company whose notion of value is purely dividends, get out.

The aviation industry didn’t get profitable without regulation. Safety is a big part of the value generated. Spending on safety is not spending money putting more butts in seats and selling more tickets faster. But few people will choose to fly if the risk to their safety is too great.

Software does have similar responsibilities. People hate losing their money, having their private data leaked, having their entire production run screwed up because of a software error. It can cost a business a lot of money. Cutting corners to bring new features to the table doesn’t exactly add to the value the company brings to their customers. You also need to respect their privacy, do what's required to avoid security errors, programming errors, etc.

Update: This article, and Mackenzie's advice, is decent if you're trying to survive at such a company and you can't get out yet.. for reasons. But I would aim your career towards getting out at some point because such a company will never value your work.

Haven’t read full article either. But dogs have an incredibly well studied genome and are generally incredibly well understood. And due to cloning efforts, performing implantation of lab grown embryos is established protocol. Wolves are also well studied and understood, so even tho dire wolves aren’t super closely related, the dog baseline is a great control.

This would be a lot harder to do with an extinct species we don’t know well.
> With a Canadian or American passport (until recently)? No problem.

First of all, the folks profiling and detaining you don't ask you where your passport is from first - they'll generally make the decision and then ask for your documentation.

But even then, I have a US passport, and I've had far more issues being detained in European airports than I have in the US - which is really saying something.

Another Problem i see with this trend of "everyone is fullstack now" is that no one knows what they are doing.

Basically, you and your team spent a year or so architecting and building something that you know, it's your domain, you know the in and outs of the system. Then your manager comes and says that team X needs a feature that needs a change on your system, but instead of working with them to implement it, we should work on something else and they will do the changes on our system.

Clearly team X has no experience on the stack or the system itself, and they start to create nonsensical PRs that don't even compile, you spent a lot of time reviewing those, explaining them the issues until it becomes a political/ego driven discussion and... congratulations you are a blocker now.

You experience the same working on your own feature, messing with code that you don't like or even understand, creating yamls that you don't have a clue on what they actually do, just replacing string where you see it fit, learning on production.

Of course, you have no time to actually understand what you are doing, is expected to be done by yesterday.

Suddenly, in name of productivity, everyone is working in the less efficient way possible, taking months what could be weeks, weeks what could be days, and days what could be hours.

> So far, the travel warnings I've seen all specify specific groups targeted by the American government, such as LGBTQ+ people.

The travel warnings for Germany in the 1930s were specific groups targeted by the Nazi government, such as Jewish people
Here's recent article going into how the EU and some of its members are responding https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-exploit-dunald-trump-...
> Last I checked, Germany's advice was similar

What changed is that they made the text clearer, that ESTA approval doesn't guarantee entry and decision is made by the border officer and adding a note that wrong information may lead to incarceration.

Those notes weren't "needed" before as that was rare, while theoretically the rules were the same, but seem to be handled stricter now.

This is still far from a "proper" travel warning.

AutoRAG: Managed Retrieval-Augmented Generation on Cloudflare
Extra dimensions are always a desperate measure. If you add them to your theory you open up a huge parameter space, because you have no clue about the number, size and topology of the extra dimensions. What is missing is a real physical symmetry or reason that would enforce the existence of extra dimensions and on the other side restricts its geometry and topology.

Just adding more parameters to your theory will allow you to overfit the data better, but that does not mean you understand more about nature.

That's a sorry excuse, one of these guys was part of this Signal chat on their mobile device while in Russia... an absolutely foolish move regardless of UX.

There was nothing necessary about the conversation that couldn't wait for a secure location. The government will go as far to set up a secure comms room in employees homes if needed, it's not like they don't know how to secure communication.

A lot of us have had to work within specific constraints for data security, I've had to make hour long trips because I forgot a secure laptop in my office. No one would have died if I did some work on my personal device, but I still went out of my way to follow procedure.

> possible while forcing the exact behaviour regulators intend

That's what I'm seeing happened?

1. Companies store personal data willy nilly

2. Regulators create directives that force companies to stop doing that, or at least be upfront about it

3. Companies who still want to do it, are at least up front about it, telling users what is happening

4. Users now complain about regulators that companies are letting them know, missing the fact that the only companies who are adding those banners, are companies who are hellbent on doing these things anyways.

The blame seems misdirected to me.
A defining pillar of a society is either a very strong common goal or enemy. US supplanted both, so yeah actually thank you for that.

My 2 cents - wanted to take family on a trip to western US, parks and maybe SF, not in fucking hell now or in next 2 decades. I know its just some tiny drop in the bucket, but that ~10k spent locally in those few weeks will be spent elsewhere and if enough people will do the same (which they will do), tourism will suffer a bit. Maybe US folks will go there more, who knows (US tourists are still very welcome in Europe, we just hate the people you vote in because they clearly hate us).

I'm not surprised at all. That's North Korea/Russia levels of terror and it's honestly sickening that Trump can just go on TV and say "yeah it's a good deal I'm glad we're working with El Salvador".It's maddening the admin can admit a "mistake" but then fight with a judge that they can't be ordered to fix a blatant obsruction of the constitution they loved waving around the year prior

I wouldn't take any risks either.
I think we're going a bit past each other.

In AVR or other MPU-less architecture you can literally modify the string literal memory without triggering a crash.

Why? Because there is no memory protection ("rodata") at all.

And such microprocessors are still in use today, so it's a bit too far fetched to say "really old code."

It's UB, sure, but how many embedded programmers actually care? The OP's proposal is trying to change the type system so that this UB becomes much less likely to trigger in practice.
When they'll deport innocent US citizens to El Salvador and then argue it's impossible to get them back I don't have any hope at all as a visitor. There's no way in hell I'm stepping foot in the United States right now.

> why argue hypotheticals here when I look out my window and I see teslas self driving just fine?

I'll reiterate:

2019 - Tesla didn’t fix an Autopilot problem for three years, and now another person is dead

That's not a hypothetical. How do you figure this result indicates the Tesla theory of camera-only navigation is working out "just fine"? This level of professional negligence should be considered a crime.

> And if it was truly unsafe or compromised we'd have seen a good deal of evidence

We see that evidence all the time. Teslas veering into oncoming traffic, hitting parked vehicles, driving through loony tunes walls where other cars stop, being fooled by smokescreens where other cars are not, and decapitating multiple people in a similar way that would have been mitigated by LiDAR. And now apparently real-ending motorcyclists.

This whole self driving scam is an exercise in the 80/20 rule. They spent 20% of the time to get 80% of the results, and that's why you claim "I see teslas self driving just fine"

But Tesla has been promising the other 20% will be here in 5 years for 10 years. That last 20% is the difference between the system being "Full" self driving and a fraud. Right now what we see is a vaporware fraud, and they're not going to be able to deliver.
Ireland or at least Dublin Airport is unique in that it has 'US Preclearance' so when you land you simply pick up your bags at the carousel and leave the airport as you've passed US immigration based in Dublin Airport.

This means if you're going to be denied entry it will probably be in Dublin which will make it a preferred airport of origin within the EU -- this is massively more convenient than getting stuck in JFK.

I travel quite a bit, and there are only 2 places on Earth where I was close to a shooting happening in real time: São Paulo, Brazil, and Oakland, California.

As much as the scenarios can be rare, there is an undeniable sense of everything hanging by a thin thread when traveling around the USA, which I've only experienced in Latin American countries in all my trips.

Giving that I'm originally from Brazil even though with Swedish citizenship, I won't be traveling to the USA anytime in the near future. I have no idea what could happen, might be a completely rare occurrence to be profiled at the border, jailed for no cause, etc., but there's nothing in the USA worth enough to make me even more paranoid at crossing its borders. It's more like the straw that finally broke the camel's back, it's been brewing for a while, I've been stopped by CBP for holding both a B-1/B-2 visa on my Brazilian passport as well as an ESTA on my Swedish one, I do not want the potential issues that another interrogation by CBP at present times could create, like being sent to some jail for 20 days instead of just being refused entry and put on a plane to get back to the EU.
"Most" in this case means 49.81% of the vote, with 48.34% voting against. And that's with people largely expecting Trump to behave the same way as last time and a historically unpopular Democratic candidate. Whatever right wing cope you may have read, if the election were held today he'd probably lose.

Granted I don't blame foreigners for not risking ICE abuse. And Hockey fans can just be dumb sometimes. A lot of Americans have severe recency bias, the right is saying "the same people telling you this will be catastrophic were the same ones who locked down schools over a cold and told you inflation would be transitory". These people are going to have to touch the stove to learn it's hot, and then they'll admit that it's hot but deny that it's burning them, and then enough at the margins will start to defect such that they start losing elections, leaving a hard-core to endlessly complain about how if they'd only held on until 3rd degree burns the stove would have turned itself off.

What I find terrifying and everyone else should as well: If all that stands between you and indefinite detention is an accusation without due process that you're foreign then literally anyone including citizens can be black bagged.
Plus it's false that the rest of the world doesn't get the Fox spin along with the CNN spin. We get both.
The fact that Trump is nuts and possibly serving Putin by destroying the West is one thing, but the fact that so many people seem fine with it, corporations and institutions eager to do his bidding, Republicans all voting along with things they used to strongly oppose, that's really an eye opener.
It makes sense if you view it as an intentional effort to demonize the US. Terrorizing visiting tourists is a great way to get the “we are crazy, your best never come here” message out.

The simplest explanation is that this administration wants the US to be hated and sees atrocities as an important tool in that effort.

If the GDPR is simplified, the fines should be drastically raised. (At least for companies) E.g. to minimum 20% of the global last years revenue, for bigger companies (FAANG-Scale) to minimum 70% of the revenue. The GDPR must make companies afraid of breaking the law.

Nobody is surprised that a Republican or Democratic nominee might have a strong take regarding Roe v Wade, because it's practically a litmus test for nomination. No nominee has ever been asked about Central Hudson v PSC NY. There's a reason for that.

I've been using QwQ-32B a lot recently and while I quite like it (especially given its size), I noticed it will often misinterpret the system prompt as something I (the user) said, revealing secrets or details that only the agent is supposed to know. When I saw that it topped the "earliest out" chart, I wondered if that was part of the reason.
I'm guessing it's a mixture of practical concerns and something that captures the imagination of investors.
