personally it seems to me that it must be resolvable with math by taking into account the stride of each step, in fact if the stride is equal each step it shows the actual paradox of assuming the halving of distance.

Wouldn't they still owe interest to the banks on the money they borrowed, as well as the money they borrowed? I mean if all the money I make goes to the bank to pay off my mortgage my solution is not quitting my job, even though life is not very good under that situation.

The analogy has a lot of problems.

Imagine you got a loan to buy a bunch of laundry machines to run a laundromat. But your laundromat earns $8,000 a month, and the loan payment is $10,000.

You can decide to sink $2,000 of your personal money into the laundromat every month, or you can give up.


The business owes the money or the fund. In any case the individuals do not unless they backed it with personal collateral.

hmm, yeah ok so the collateral is the business they are buying, I forgot that one.

why does GH actions bill macOS minis 10X?

Ah sorry minutes, they bill the most for macOS probably because of what a pain it is to scale it with apples EULA (I'm guessing) https://docs.github.com/en/billing/reference/actions-runner-...

ah ok, minutes makes more sense. thanks.

Mins here being short for minutes, not minis.

And, presumably for a combination of the Mac build (and hardware) being of niche interest and sitting outside the standard Linux workflows so it's annoying to administer. And serving a money-making audience (iOS app devs) who have a revenue stream and see the extra CI cost as worth it.

What is a macOS mini…

Not “mini”, “mins” -> minutes.

if you get a response from the "Bureaucrat Bot" you just got to fire up the "Annoy Customer Service Bot" as a counter-measure


I believe by saying it is coincidental they are saying there is probably no relevance, just an interesting piece of trivia, why put out this interesting piece of trivia? Because maybe someone will be able to make an argument of relevance.

It's more than coincidental, but tangential to the point. It shows crime runs in families.

I don't think you could self-host Google Reader, so it sort of feels like these two sentences don't hang together.

It's more linked to there not being any / many high quality RSS reader applications, so the comment is talking about a feature, so it does make sense.

theoldreader was built to be as close as possible to Google Reader. And from an interface PoV it's really close. Problem is that without critical mass you can't do the social features.

so can it be the one that gets ahead on having people go find things for them - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47285283

Interesting

It seems to me this is a real show hn, of course there is a lot of worry about those nowadays. I basically had the same idea, but to build a product on top of it, I believe I have several algorithms that assures to greater than 99.9% accuracy that website changes will not cause crawlers to stop working - what degree of accuracy have you achieved with the AI method.

Does it have ways to detect if it has failed to extract the correct fields?


William the Conqueor was a fellow who used to make horns out of the shells of large sea snails; he used to travel across the Pacific in a catamaran, from island to island make horns and selling them.

If William the Conqueor had been on the English side at the Battle of Hastings then the English would have one because their warning horns would have been top notch, everybody says so.


I sort of think the whole middlebrow angst thread about Bourdieu going on right now applies to LLM writing
