There are a few commercially valid strategies.

1. Goodwill and mindshare. If you're known as "the best" or "the most innovative", then you'll attract customers.

2. Talent acquisition. Smart people like working with smart people.

3. Becoming the standard. If your technology becomes widely adopted, and you've been using it the longest, then you're suddenly be the best placed in your industry to make use of the technology while everyone retools.

4. Deception. Sometimes you publish work that's "old" internally but is still state of the art. This provides your competition with a false sense of where your research actually is.

5. Freeride on others' work. Maybe experimenting with extending an idea is too expensive/risky to fund internally? Perhaps a wave of startups will try. Acquire one of them that actually makes it work.

6. Undercut the market leader. If your industry has a clear market leader, the others can use open source to cooperate to erode that leadership position.

Is outdated product documentation a known issue for you too?
Hi,
I've been talking with other founders, support leads, and product teams—and it seems like there's a shared pain point:
Product documentation becomes outdated way too fast.

Screenshots go stale, videos become misleading, step-by-step guides are obsolete after one or two UI changes.
Even internal wikis end up half-wrong because no one updates them in time.

The result:
- Users get confused or frustrated
- Support gets bombarded with tickets that “should be answered in the docs”
- The wiki becomes a graveyard—nobody trusts what’s in there

Everyone I’ve talked to agrees it’s frustrating, but most seem to just accept it as a cost of shipping fast.

I’m currently building something to help with this—making help content more resilient and easier to keep up-to-date, even when your product changes constantly.

Before I go deeper, I wanted to ask here:
Is this a well-known issue for you or your team too?
Or have you found workflows or tools that actually work long-term?

Appreciate any thoughts!
Show HN: Shadow Interview Assistant – AI that sees and listens your interviews
I've built an interview assistant that sits invisibly on your screen during technical interviews.
It can:

- Take screenshots of coding problems with Cmd+H
- Listen to questions through voice transcription (using Deepgram) with Cmd+E
- Generate complete solutions using GPT-4 Vision and GPT-4.1
- Stay nearly invisible with transparency and hotkeys
- Works on all meeting and screen-recording software.
- Buy once, no subscription, yours forever. All updates are included. Email Support

It's built with Electron, React, and OpenAI's API to fetch answers and Deepgram s.

The app is designed for remote technical interviews where you need help but can't have obvious assistance visible on your screen.

Looking for feedback on the concept and implementation. Would love to hear your thoughts!

>Your environmental footprint depends on your income and your country.

No, it depends on what you do with that income.

>Everything bought is environmentally unfriendly in proportion to the cost.

Plainly false. E.g. more expensive things made of natural materials and lasting for a long time create much less landfill than products which are cheap but last only a short time.

I own expensive shelfs which my parent bought for me as a child decades ago. They are literally "as good as new", much of the IKEA furniture I had to replace. Clearly the IKEA furniture had a bigger impact, although it was "cheaper".

>Complaining about specific things being bad is almost pointless.

All complaining I do is pointless. Obviously no institution who could force change is making decisions based on my HN posts.

It's hard to beat CDNs for streaming because the number of hops is low. Basically any p2p technology would have to mirror the way existing livestreams work; a local well-connected peer sucks down the livestream from farther away and rebroadcasts it to local peers. Anything else introduces latency or wastes WAN bandwidth. Peers are also rarely situated where they have moderate downstream and exceptional (local) upstream.

IPv6 multicast is probably the way forward for livestreams but I haven't really been keeping up on recent developments. In theory there could be dynamic registrations of multicast addresses that ISPs could opt-in to subscribe to and route for their customers.
The vast majority of Americans will be hurt even more when product prices double just to subsidize a handful of jobs. If there's such strong interest in ensuring some people have a salary—regardless of the cost to everyone else—we might as well drop the pretense and just pay them directly.

Except, of course, if we did that, the government wouldn't be able to hand those factories over to their friends or political allies. That's the real feature of these "industrial policy" moves, not a bug.

Argentina has been running a nearly identical playbook for decades: impose high tariffs and taxes on imports, hand out subsidies to politically connected local manufacturers, and claim it's all in the name of "national production" and "job creation." The result? Inefficient, uncompetitive factories that only survive because they're protected from global markets. Consumers get stuck paying absurd prices for low-quality goods, innovation dies, and the overall economy stagnates. The only real winners are the cronies who cash in on state favors.

If the U.S. goes down that same path, just like Argentina, it's not going to end in a manufacturing renaissance. It's going to end in inflation, stagnation, and a bunch of overpriced junk no one wants to buy.

This is also a uniquely American thing where you can both discover something and then build it, or is it the other way round?

> struggling [...] when dining

This is also a uniquely American thing where you can't just marry someone but must plan every detail months in advance, where you can't just give birth to a child but must perform a gender reveal party, and, also, struggle when 'dining'. In the rest of the world people get married, have kids, and eat.
Every tax, and tariff a tax, is shared between producer and consumer depending on elasticity of demand for the goods
One thing I’ve also noticed is that some big teams doing (Google included) is avoiding direct UI recordings/screenshots altogether. Instead, they use animated GIFs or illustrations that suggest the UI rather than replicate it exactly.

That way, when the product changes visually, the help content doesn’t immediately break. It communicates what to do rather than exactly where to click, and that seems to make it more resilient over time.

Kind of a “show the concept, not the pixels” approach.

It’s definitely a more scalable mindset, but also harder for smaller teams to pull off without design resources.

Curious if anyone else here has tried something similar or has lightweight ways to make help content more durable?
Fair take, but I think the key distinction is why Instagram and WhatsApp were targeted specifically

The problem with zooming out is that the speed of light sets a specific size/time scale so the more zoomed out you get, the more disconnected the big picture is. The observable universe is a mere 93 billion light-years across, so there's a limit on how far it makes sense to talk about zooming out. Also, with the universe expanding, the observable size will reduce over a long time period.

The scales involved are vastly different than the minor difference in scales between bacteria and us - we don't have to worry about the speed of light for anything that we currently consider alive.
Yet, another dead-man-switch software – Dead-Man-Hand
Dead-Man-Hand will execute pre-added actions when you will no longer be "available".

All actions are encrypted and when properly configured nobody will be able to get action details till you are alive.

Main goal of DMH is to ensure that actions can be executed only when you are dead. And before that time, every action should be confidential - even for people who have access to DMH.

Gnome does this, you can develop apps in Typescript.

But, they started to migrate some of their own apps to Typescript and immediately received backlash from the community [0]. Although granted, the Phoronix forums can be quite toxic.

My observation is that there is just a big disconnect between younger devs who just want to get the job done, and the more old-school community that care about resource efficients. Both are good intentions that I can understand, but they clash badly. This unfortunately hinders progress on this point.

A 125% duty would significantly raise the cost of Boeing jets bound for Chinese carriers, making them a financial burden and potentially prompting airlines to consider alternatives like Airbus and domestic player COMAC.

Resulting in footgun'ing Boeing to the tune of 179 passenger aircraft and several decades of parts.

Good news for Airbus et al. though.

"I can shoot it shopping receipts and it'll roughly parse them and dump the line item and cost into a spreadsheet" - very difficult to do that without using a vision LLM.
The question doesn't make sense imo because it, meaning neural network or other ML computer vision classification, doesn't have a mechanism to be trustworthy. It's just looking for shortcuts with predictive power, it's not reasoning, doesn't have a world model, it's just an equation that mostly works, etc, all the stuff we know about ML. It's not just about validation set performance, you could change the lighting or some camera feature or something, have some unusual mole shape, and suddenly get completely different performance. It can't be "trusted" the way a person can, even if they are less accurate.

These limitations are often acceptable but I think as long as it works how it does, denying someone a person looking at them in favor of a statistical stereotype should be the last thing we do.

I can see if this was in a third world country and the alternative was nothing, but in the developed world the alternative is less profit or fewer administrators. We should strongly reject outsourcing the actual medical care part of healthcare to AI as an efficiency measure.

Here's the Mr. Money Mustache article I referenced: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2021/01/29/margin-loan-ibkr-...

Another very rational reason for such a margin loan for a home down payment is if the stock you wanted to sell hadn't been held for a year and therefore its sale would not yet qualify for long-term capital gains rates.

You might choose to pay margin interest for up to a year so that the stock sales become taxed at the much lower long-term capital gains rates instead of like income.

That might make sense for someone in the 24% federal bracket which ends at just under $200K of annual income, depending upon how much longer one needs to hold the position to achieve the more favorable taxation. Certainly far below the yacht-owning bracket.

Reading this, I feel slightly embarrassed about our largely unplanned 100 km family cycling tour to France 1.5 years ago. We used our standard day-to-day Peugeot bikes from the 70ies, and a relatively new children's trailer. Because our bikes were so old, I made sure to have all the tools with me to fix anything broken, despite the relatively short distance. The bikes didn't have a single mechanical failure, not even a flat tire. But halfway through our trip, the trailer had a broken spoke. I removed the spoke, hoping that the rest of wheel would hold together, but all the remaining spokes immediately started to become loose after a few kilometers. I ended up truing the wheel using the remaining spokes, and than fixating the spoke nipples to the spokes and the rim with a pack of kid's plasters. To my surprise, this actually worked. We made the remaining 50km without problems, but stopped every kilometer or so to check if any spoke had become loose.

Note that we largely cycled through the French and German countryside on dedicated bike routes on which we were the only cyclists most of the time, so this was relatively uncritical.
What a great day to be European.

I think that websites like Temu or AliExpress are particularly popular in poorer countries because we're used to scammy tactics, and we know how to navigate them. We know what to buy in order to get what we want, and for this purpose, AliExpress is awesome, because there are so many products you can't find locally. Meanwhile customers from rich countries expect better customer service as the default, and are willing to pay higher price for it.
> Describe explicitly how your example will trigger illegal behavior? Happy to discuss the behavior of the compiled asm if you'd like to be that pendantic?

Through calling @fieldParentPtr with a field_ptr not pointing at a field of the given field name in the result type, when the result type has an ill-defined memory layout. I'm essentially just paraphrasing the documentation, which I've already quoted.

Generated code is irrelevant to this end. Illegal behavior can coincidentally result in code that works as intended in practice as a side effect of the implementation. Similarly you may expect a signed integer to wrap around as it overflows in C because of the implementation of the compiler and the code it generates, but it's still undefined behavior.

> No? Struts have a defined layout, they're not guaranteed between compilations, but they don't change within a compilation unit.

This is not the sense in which the Zig language reference uses the term well-defined memory layout. Bare structs, error unions, slices and optionals don't have a well-defined memory layout in the sense the Zig language reference uses it.

> And the failure mode is the compiler will decide to delete your OS?

The failure mode is irrelevant. Unchecked illegal behavior is unchecked illegal behavior regardless of the failure mode. You are moving goalposts now.

> I thought you were saying that it's guaranteed to be incorrect. In fact, I think that's what you said in your reply to me. Mostly because you used the word 'mearly'.

The example I posted is guaranteed to be incorrect, which demonstrates that the use of @fieldParentPtr can result in unchecked illegal behavior, hence not type safe nor giving you an error when you write invalid code. Regarding the use of "merely", you should adopt the habit of reading complete sentences before you draw conclusions about what they imply.

> The way that I understood what you meant was, the example you provided was guaranteed wrong.

The example is guaranteed to cause unchecked illegal behavior.

> I'm sorry if I was unclear, I was trying to discuss it in good faith. :(

If you want to argue in good faith, you can start with a good faith reading of the language reference.
Yep, this is my experience here in Greece. I'd randomly get maybe 5% of packages having a 3 € "customs fee" on top, but everything else was much cheaper. Now I have to pay VAT and import duties on everything, nothing gets extra fees but everything costs 50% more.

I guess the intent was to let local shops compete with AE, and they succeeded, because the prices are much more in line with the local market, I just miss all the cheap stuff :P
