how would you say you compare to graphiti from zep?

Appreciate the HN guest login. That's a good idea :)

oh yea i guess it's a country-based filter. works for me with vpn on. thanks

Do the settings need to be changed or something so it's public? I just tried but it only shows me the basic info and won't let me chat. I have a paid sub so I should be able to use it if it's properly permissioned.

there’s literally nothing brittle about a $15 dollar pair of merino socks though, which is the argument I was responding to. If you lose it you can still buy a cheap backup and still have socks, nobody is spending all their time and energy worrying about losing a pair of $15 socks. Some things really do provide more value for a higher price, but everyone’s utility curve is different for each item.

Mostly though i think it comes down to the old joke “everyone who spends more than me is wasting their money on exorbitant whatever and everyone who spends less than me is a cheapskate.”

planning everything around rare failures seems silly to me. If an expensive item has good value, adds utility over a less expensive option, and can still be functionally replaced in case of rare failure mode, i don’t see any white elephant in that picture.

interesting, thanks

Above a living wage means what exactly? Above minimum wage?

Thanks so much, appreciate it

What’s a good neighborhood or two in Houston where it’s possible to do this?

This is probably a very dumb question but I'm new to all this and trying to figure out how to mix/match these frameworks like you're describing. I have primarily a static site (using Jekyll, but Middleman would apply) but now need to add some server side stuff (e.g. with Sinatra). I see how I could dump my generated site into the Sinatra /public directory, but then I'm serving everything through the sinatra server when I really only want to hit that when I need the dynamic content/calls. How would I keep them separated while still having a single environment? Have tried googling to no avail, don't know if I'm asking the right questions. Any pointers would be super helpful! Thanks

No no it's all very easy, as is brain surgery: Think. Cut. Repeat. Nothing to it. Fine motor skills are irrelevant. Eyesight and depth perception play no role. Knowledge of the field can be learned immediately, in fact all you need to know is right in my three step directions!

In context it should be very easy to see why I phrased things the way I did. I do not personally think there's anything EXTRAORDINARY about US population size OR the budget amounts in question.

What makes you confident that you aren't overestimating the importance that we "experience anything"

The current leading theories on how the brain works are that yes, they are essentially very impressive prediction machines, which obviously rely on all sorts of pattern matching to make said predictions. You can look up Karl Friston's free energy principle or check this book for more details

Sounds pretty interesting. Are there company or federal requirements for where the work actually takes place? I’m a legal US resident but spend ~80% of my time in Mexico.

Everyone thinks they want a la carte, but (most) everyone is wrong. Bundling is generally better for consumers and producers.

Stratechery also has written about this

the US is an EXTRAORDINARY large country. It has a population >500x greater than the state of Vermont, a state with 630,000 people.

I'm curious if you see 3rd party vendors being useful in this space. e.g. one person consultancy that can use Retool to quickly build out internal apps for other orgs that aren't able to get any internal dev resources

Not really at all, have you considered that not everyone shares your preferences? That's usually a good place to start.

Have you seen the iPhone pricing strategy? Yes they’ve moved up asp for the high end but are also now selling a $400 phone with chips that outperform anything else in the Android market. It’s very likely some of this margin will be shifted to consumers

That’s not really “data points” in any useful sense of the word. The sim3 community could be a few thousand people - still large enough to be a community where this came up as a noticed issue, but not meaningfully large in any real sense as far as Apple is concerned.

Since everyone else is replying to hate on this machine, want to throw in that I loved it. My situation maybe wasn’t typical, but living on the road it was such a joy to have something that for all purposes disappeared into my pack and was totally capable for my basic needs. This style body w/ better arm chip is for sure future of “gen pop” Apple laptops.

Diet is so much more important for weight loss / maintenance than exercise. You can obviously have a healthy diet that does not include IF, but for most people they need to do something about their diet, and can’t just add exercise.

Slack is hands down the worst app I’ve ever used in environments that aren’t very high latency.

But what makes you think html+js+css performance have improved enough over native in the subsequent years where this isn’t relevant?

How much does google pay Apple for search priority on iOS safari? Assume they would likewise need to pay android similar amounts

what are the adjustments you made with bettertouchtool?

Was it intentional that you left out the parts of the article that show blue states pay more in, and receive less per resident relative to what they paid in? Because you completely misrepresented what is claimed by only highlighting the outlay per resident

Is Qatar hot and dry? I think heat with humidity are more likely to dampen the spread compared to just heat
