I do not think the OP intended to mean a 'pure auction' in the sense you're using it. I strongly suspect he meant run a competitive bidding / auction process. Non-tangibles are absolutely acceptable tools in such a process, including future relationships, intangible terms like fewer board seats, etc. An auction does not have to be solely monetary in nature.
Some folks might be surprised by the qualification of single family zoning as 'historically racist' (the concepts don't even seem superficially related, so the suggestion seems absurd -- zoning, to many, is a mundane topic). Some education into how and why single family zoning developed would be quite beneficial.

A larger number of folks are aware of redlining (addressed shortly after Civil Rights legislation was passed), so when viewed through the lens of other racist housing policy that we all acknowledge occurred, it shouldn't be surprising to understand that zoning was unfortunately another tool in the toolbox to segregate people.

Another angle to this is property rights. Nobody is saying it's bad to live in a single family home. Nobody will force these property owners to tear down their dwellings to build higher density. It's about providing choice for a wider income band.

Less dense air -> higher angle of attack required to produce required lift -> true lift vector is more offset from vertical -> horizontal component of lift is actually producing drag

Like I said in the other comment, if the plane is operating at the range-optimal speed, I think the air density does not impact the range capability (it cancels out) but it does increase the range-optimal speed, allowing for faster travel.
Why Scrappy Founders Have a Hard Time Growing into Scalable CEOs
Wait until you hear about “case law”. Just because it’s not on the law books doesn’t mean it’s not legally binding. If a court rules something unconstitutional or whatever, the law sometimes remains on the books instead of being removed. “Why bother writing and passing a bill to repeal a law when the court said it’s unenforceable?”

No, those are pure.

A pure, idempotent function would be one where f(f(x)) = f(x).

An idempotent function could have side-effects. Imagine turn_on() where if it's already on, then nothing happens and it just stays on.
> I don't think even half of it turned out to be factually correct in the end, meaning less truthful than randomness.

This implies a 50% chance that a randomly generated statement is true, which--without getting into the weeds on the generative model--is certainly false.

For example, I can generate random statements of the form "I am X years old" for X \in {1, ..., 100}.

Far from a 50% chance that the statement is factually correct.
Borrowed from whom? If it is another federal organization, then I do not see a difference. If my left pocket borrows money from the right one to give money to someone, yet my right pocket was empty to begin with, any money were created out of thin air during such a borrowing process.

You seem to be equating "smart money" with "less money" which isn't true. It may be equivalent, or even more money, possibly with less favorable terms, due to the outsized advantage they provide in other ways.

It's nice that you'd prefer a longer runway to more coaches. I prefer a longer runway and more coaches I trust to help me execute; they are not mutually exclusive and you've presented a false choice, particularly in this market which is so founder-driven.

> Tow planes and gliders routinely fly with a disconnecting cable between two aircraft

This is true. However, the cable is not carrying KW or megawatts of electricity, it's just there for tension, to transfer forces from something else to get the glider airborne.

Technically, you don't even need the tow plane, some places perform winch launches (or car launches!) exclusively. This is very common where general aviation is not as common.

Should the cable not detach (extremely rare), it can be cut at the other end. Cutting a live cable should be much more interesting. Other issues, the glider can release it. The glider will most likely be fine, even if the flight is now cut short.

Gliders are very light and still the cable weights a lot. That's probably the limit of what's practical. There are some gliders with electric motors, they don't need all that much power, by definition. Some can even self-launch.
This is a great statement. You are probably joking and serious at the same time.

At the same time, I think your quip demonstrates something I'm trying to get across. I've seen some people miss an opportunity to learn from games like Diplomacy. They bring in their personal expectations of how things should work. For example, they may want friends IRL to cut them a break in the game.

I find Diplomacy interesting because you have to light up all of your brain: assessment, strategy, tactics, and communication. Playing Diplomacy is cognitively demanding. One's ability to do well is a blend of hard power (what shows on the board) and soft power (how well you can persuade).

I agree with you; it is a good thing that there are accreditation requirements to invest in as risky an investment as a startup. Getting rid of that would be an awful idea. That was the point of my comment.
Well, now I've got to get a radio and have a look.

Looking at teardowns of the current Onyx radio [0], the NXP LPC4078FET180 has both a unique ID and some mechanisms to make it very difficult to read the programmed code externally. One option would be to store the key there, and use that mcu to run all the audio decryption, processing, device activation, and protocol updates (under the control of the TMX570 running the UI etc).

The phenomenon is due to Paschen's law (there is a good wikipedia article on it). The breakdown potential of a gas is minimized at some pressure, and in the case of air, that pressure is < 1 atm, and corresponds to a specific altitude.

I owned a GP32 back in the day. The killer app was of course Super Nintendo emulation, but it was also amazing to have a media machine at that time, and something you could easily develop for. I wonder if the mindset is different these days though. The title linked machine seems overkill for 16 but nostalgia. I wonder if people really want a portable machine that they can stick steam on and play indie games?
Sure, I agree; I do not think it was intended as a pure price auction. That would be ridiculous, imho.

Rust's compiler/library interface is still much simpler than C++'s. An `async fn` call gives you an anonymous-typed object (much like a lambda) which implements the `Future` trait, which has a single method `poll`.

`Generator` and `GeneratorState` are not exposed or usable. There are no knobs to turn like C++'s `await_ready` or `early_suspend`/`final_suspend`. There is no implicit heap allocation or corresponding elision optimization, and thus no need to map between `coroutine_handle`s and promise objects.

To be fair, C++'s design is a bit more flexible in that it supports passing data in and out of a coroutine. But even if you look at Rust's (unstable work-in-progress) approach to supporting this, the compiler/library interface is still way simpler. The difference is really not related to how much functionality is stabilized, but how scattered and ad-hoc the C++ interface is.

After reading this, I still don't understand. But I find https://codereview.appspot.com/5451057#msg38 particularly entertaining: there was going to be an environment variable to control the interval, which might have allowed Discord to keep using Go, but Russ Cox shot it down.

I guess it's another example of "when you got into a band" as seen throughout this thread. Saw them at my first "big" concert at Lollapalooza 1994. 17 years old and it was the coolest crap I'd ever seen.

Gish is awesome and Siamese Dream will always hold a special place in my heart, but I always felt like Mellon Collie was the start of Corgan's long, slow descent into self-indulgence. If Siamese Dream was their Appetite for Destruction, Mellon Collie was Use Your Illusion (two parter at that!) I guess you could do worse, though since both are solid.

And I guess Lies would be analogous to that album with the Stevie Nicks cover.

Worth noting that in very late mega rounds (like the Uber late rounds) there are a lot of odd things going on.

Not only are their preferential shares (which people should know about), but in some cases the investment seems to have been ways of moving and/or washing money.

Things like Chinese investment via investment funds and Saudi money via the vision fund and others can be seen as ways to move from illiquid assets to liquid holdings and these investors are prepared to lose money in that transaction.

> This is not to say that species richness is not declining,

I continue to be baffled by how many take serious this rather arbitrary concept as though it actually mean something.

Apparently Clostridium botulinum as a species is purely defined by the ability to produce botulinum; many members of this species have acquired this trait by way of horizontal gene transfer and are otherwise vertically not specially related and vertically related strains that lost it recently are considered different species.

The species of the neanderthal man has recently gone extinct, or not, depending on a sheer matter of semantics of whether it and the cro-magnon man are of the same species, or not.

Similar arguments can of course be made for languages. A dialect with an army-and-a-navy being lost is a tragœdy; a dialect that lacks such being lost is inconsequential, — for the former is a separate language, and the latter merely a variant of another.
Tight integration removes an entire housing and cold plate from the inverter design (++ specific power). Allowable SiC die temperatures are ~175 C these days, which is pretty awesome.

The inverter and motor are on opposite sides of the coolant, and so heat from each flows into the coolant. The mechanism by which the motor would heat the power electronics is via increasing the coolant temperature, which to some extent is mitigated by maintaining an appropriate flow rate given the loading conditions.

Is this a joke considering the vast majority of Western countries have basically ignored their “public health establishments” for almost all of the past year?

Small investors can participate in IPO where regulation allows it (so vote for that). Here in Hong Kong, every grandma rushes to the bank at every IPO to stuff her pocket with pre-allocated retail blocks of 1 to 10k USD. Do you want your grandma to do this ? You can vote for it, but be ready for what it means. For me what it means is that the "poor little small investor" is a fallacy, most small investors are retired landlords/rent earners, not struggling productive young people and giving more leeway to retail investor just make old people either consolidate more or risk more when they rely on high cost of survival. Fine, but be ready to see none of the young people invest in IPO because they earn a salary or don't have a capital large enough, and a LOT of the whiny old fucks lose all their savings and vote pro-China to spite you :D

SPAC are a travesty imho, we do it often in Hong Kong too, because why not be creative if it can also give you the pleasure of bypassing regulation, hiding that your Chinese forestry company never saw a forest or whatever, but frankly I don't see any social or financial value. You ask for public money, you give public information, it was the first commandment of capitalism...

As for the banks' commission, it's well deserved and usually a function of the volume they bring via marketing. I suppose you could bypass the banks in an IPO by building a small department in your company doing just that, but good luck calling people you made rich 10 times over to sell them the next unicorn. People will just scoff at you selling your own crap. It's like being a restaurant with a 10x increase in orders from foodpanda whining about their awful commission rate. Fine, do it and see or figure a way to make margins with it anyway.
Best online communities for people building the future?
Looking for recommendations on the best places online to co-work and interact with others who are focused on the hard unsexy work involved in going from zero to one.

> employees get paid last, and therefore get paid less

Paid by who and in what case? If the company IPOs or buys back a sizeable chunk of stock as part of fundraising or acquisition, employees with options do just fine. Employees are paid when they choose to sell.

If the company liquidates that's obviously a bad deal for employees, but it's a bad deal for everyone involved.

In some sense, working for a tech startup is like working for FAANG and spending part of your salary on buying 10 year call options on random other private tech companies (if that were possible without having VC-tier wealth). Lost sleep is a founder issue.

Multiple things to think about here:

1. For summarizing, in my experience GPT-3 still has some ways to go. It gets it right a lot of the times, but when it misses, it misses bad.

2. Assuming that after scraping we feed all the scrapped data as a prompt from which GPT-3 generates bullet points, that will be a very big prompt. Since prompts are also counted as tokens, it might end up costing 10cents minimum to generate one summary.

3. I think the core USP from the process the OP has detailed is in steps 1,2 and 3. Step 4 is a good hook to get people to try this out, but have to test it properly and check the costs also.

Yeah, it doesn't, though.

Inflation only matters from the time you receive your paycheck to the time you invest it in productive assets or buy the necessities of life. After that it sets the benchmark rate of return for your investments.

If your salary fails to track inflation that's between you and your boss who's giving you a pay cut year over year, or between you and congress if you're under the minimum wage umbrella.

Currency only has value while its changing hands and inflation is an incentive to change hands. If you'd invested in anything at all 100 years ago you'd have just as much value as you did back then - at an absolute minimum. If you insisted on sticking a square peg in a round hole and hid your cash in your mattress the whole time, inflation did its job and took that value from you.
