This seems to be good for YC, bad for companies in YC. The value of YC, as far as I can tell, has been access to great advisors and a cohort of folks going through the same thing as you (maybe some other fringe benefits as well like discounts for services). As you scale up, both those things seem like they will be watered down (the quality of advisors and peers goes down as the quantity increases). This reads to me like YC has decided that a spray and pray approach is best.
Well, yeah, Nokia WAS a conglomerate that made all kinds of things like paper, electricity generation, cables, rubber boots, tyres, PC clone computers, and whatnot. But in the early 1990'ies all the rest were spun off and since then Nokia has been focused on the telecom business.

The turn of phrase is probably bad, but determinism can exist even in a fundamentally undeterministic universe. All that is required for the universe to be undetermimistic is for SOME events to lack a cause. For example, a universe in which once every billion years a particle appears out of thin air somewhere in the universe and flies off in a random direction is, on the whole, non-deterministic, even if every other interaction works according to simple mechanistic rules.
Bootstrap should look like Bootstrap.

It exhibits the materiality.

If you don't like the way Bootstrap looks, use a different material.

Or rebuild your content to the material.

That's design.

The rebuilding. The doing it again, I mean.
You couldn't be more spot-on.

The affordability aspect is also subsidized by green house gas emissions, and cheap oil.
The article doesn't specify, and I don't have the prior knowledge to understand the paper; Is there a coded implementation of this in some language or is it purely a mathematical description of how theoretically multiplication can always be done with slightly fewer multiplications?
As someone who had been a part of FDA interactions, it’s not being communicated via the media. I have no doubt there were conversations between the FDA and AZ prior to the press release.

I assume that whatever the discussion, it wasn’t going to get resolved quickly so the FDA informed AZ they could not sit on the information and would have to make a public statement.

The actual final data analysis isn’t done (AZ mentioned this in their press release). It sounds like they did an initial analysis of the final data, it looked similar to the Feb interim data, so they said “good enough, go with 79% in the press release” and the FDA was like “wait a second, that wasn’t the agreed upon final data”.

The problem with it is that layman people believe that both of these statements are equal to "it's a 999/1000 chance that it was something else". Which is not true.

The difference in these two formulations is that for b) it's explicit wrong, for a) this is arguably what the article says (which is not what the scientists say)
But they do have a good idea as to the area it's in. It's just very difficult to search such a wide area.

For me, that is far more impossible than "very careful about my information and privacy."
A normal interview process probably costs 4-5 hours just to do the interviews. People often travel for them. You spend all day doing your job for years on end. A few hours of prep doesn’t sound like a big deal, especially since that prep translates to other companies as well.
I think the difference being is that you don't have to get in the car just to leave it. I myself live about 5 minutes walk from a major train station in London whose trains go past my flat and it only takes me another five minutes walk in the opposite direction to find a completely different area.

Now, some of the commuter towns of London are a different story.

Edit: Making it clear I'm not using the train which I realise could be misconstrued from my previous wording. The train station was just a reference to how busy my local area can be.
I do remember the days where there was no thread or process separation, but, at least for the set of websites I would frequent back in those days, it rarely happened. And, even then, it didn't render the computer unusable due to constant swapping due to insufficient memory.
> > It's that they also seem to use them in ways that under other circumstances we'd call "lacking purpose", i.e., they're just cruising along in one direction at twice the speed of sound, then all of a sudden go "oh, crap! I'm going the wrong way!" and slam themselves 120 degrees in another direction in a fraction of a second.

> That said I do admit to having a lot of trouble trying to understand why craft that are apparently capable of hypersonic travel would spend hours moseying down the California coast from Catalina to Guadalupe islands. I mean if they were trying not to be noticed why not avoid the Nimitz CSG completely ? And if they wanted to be noticed wouldn't they have done something a little more dramatic than floating along at 100 knots (they didn't exhibit any spectacular behavior until an attempt was made to actually intercept them) ?

These at least are pretty easy to put together: Teenage aliens out for a joyride.
I am anything but a social butterfly, but would be upset if I came back to work in a largely empty office. I enjoy being around people even if I don't talk to them much.
This line of counterargument is built on the very flimsy assumption that an alien intelligence is just like us with similar thoughts and motivations. There is zero reason to believe that would be the case.
Chrome 89 has dropped support for HTTP Auth
I think a lot of the rage against alternative transit is the apparent bias among many such proponents to "First, we make car travel much, much less appealing; only after that's accomplished, then we'll hope to make alternative modes competitive with the nerfed version of private automobiles."
Technically just nonsense (Tomahawk is subsonic, could not carry many drones, very unlikely to make it that far, the Chinese govt is vast and could not be 'taken out' even with 10000 cruise missiles), but the most objectionable part is "Win the war before it's starting". These are human lives we're talking about. No one wins by starting a war, and there are no "home by Christmas" wars now, if there ever were.
I just added it. The preview text will become bold, but the idea is that you can send any kind of HTML to inject.
YC always required teams to move to the bay to maximize their success chances. But if almost everyone in tech is remote, then they aren’t losing ground compared to other companies working remote. It’s similar to saying “you have to be on site if you want to get promoted faster” when almost everyone is on site and you are the only remote person. When everyone is remote, the equation changes.
Looking outside, YC has also been a key indicator that a startup might have higher chance to succeed than a typical startup. When scaling to hundreds/thousands of companies per batch, I feel like that indicator will no longer be as valid.

10 seconds auto-clear (which is configurable) is short enough to prevent me accidentally pasting onto some other site.

Google results in the past year or two seem extremely odd to me. I see less results than I used to, I see more of the same sites than I used to, and a lot of content that I try to find that I know I used to be able to, I can't.

Oh, and then there's a bunch of weird links that come up to obvious content generated by AI being peddled. Odd.

Strange to see what kinds of things that Chrome leads the way on, and what things it's a distant follower to other browsers on.

Whats even worse is some of these "taxes" aren't even legit taxes, it's taxes they're creating. It's shady as all.
Also, people generally dislike having short term rentals as neighbors, because the people in them don’t stick around long enough to care for the community, or for punishment/warnings to work if they end up causing a mess.

I have been following these gitlab promotion threads here at HN and I dont usually comment, but I had to create this account after reading this post. It looks really bad and incompetent when a CEO of the company makes a statement like this. Have you ever used Heroku? On what basis are you allowing people to bash that product on your website? Do you consider Heroku your competitor? On what technical abilities of Gitlab do you think you have reached a place where you consider them your competitor? Some random meaningless doc someone put together to show how you will do better?
Yeah I normally take it out, just forgot this time. I don't mind it myself, but try and default to neutral.

I think the best thing to do is use the first 16 named colors and give users the option to disable colors if they want. This supports most use-cases.
The same happens with books. I happen to like both versions of Stephen King's _The Stand_ — the one first published, cut down to a reasonable size at his editor's insistence, and the one he published later, representing his original vision. But I honestly have to say that the shorter version is just as good as the longer one, so I tend to side with the editor here.

And Neal Stephenson's newer books seem to lack an editor to tell him they could do with somewhat tighter writing.

Cranking out a mediocre first draft and then revising it can be a very effective process, provided you don't get overly attached to that first draft.
Some delta between these two is true of all professions. How is the employer supposed to know what your skills are? Assessing this is a skill and there are only badly flawed tools available.
In any case, you have a point. Whether multiple analysis, multiple channels or multiple experiments, you have a look-elsewhere effect, and that can easily knock off one or two sigmas. If you look at a 10000 possibilities, you will a couple with 3 sigma difference, just by chance.

LHC looks at MANY possibilities. For a while, they tried to keep track to quantify the look-elsewhere effect. I think they have given up on that.
So does any physical computer. Modern computers push that limit into the billions or trillions, while optical interferometry machines are currently stuck in the hundreds or thousands. But you can't guarantee that won't change.
> most Americans like their suburbs.

Nothing wrong with saying that, but it's a loose characterization based strictly on opinion.

There's real and tangible problems with urban/sub-urban planning in the USA that go far deeper than whether someone "likes" something. It deserves exploration and critique. It's not merely a consumer choice.

Its not Stockholm syndrome. I have lived in urban cities as well as rural settings. I like my suburban lifestyle.
You like the city or rural living? Great. You do you.

Don’t assume because other people choose something different than you that they must be ignorant to the other options. It just different. Not wrong.
I'm interested If that behavior will be the same when using web.dev

Usually when I enter a site to test it there, it always tells me to avoid redirects. I think HSTS would would have also solved this, but our (managed) hosting provider does not offer this as a default, and doing it manually for the amount of sites is not really practical. At least not the sites that are already done.
Streaming services probably don't find much value in them for that reason.

I wonder why not. Imagine a Netflix marketing campaign claiming "we have all the great movies of the early 20th century on our streaming platform!" Maybe target senior citizens. They could just rip the movies from YouTube since they're in the public domain.
There are a number out there that I've heard of but never tried. Years ago, I used to use Seamonkey (which was a continuation of the Mozilla application suite and was the predecessor of Firefox and Thunderbird). I might try it again just to use the mail client :).
Very excited to hear that they'll be able to track these bad actors who are damaging the commons. Also VERY cool that they can discriminate and therefore identify ships based on small variations in the electronics even for a specific model of radio. Also - curious how the French govt is going to keep this tech under wraps.
Not the GP, but I have a question for you: if the vaccine works, why would I be putting others in danger by not getting it? Can't they get vaccinated instead?

If they can't, doesn't that just mean the vaccine is defective? As far as I know, vaccines are meant for those who are weaker, so if they can't get it, it seems to me that the vaccine is defective.

Also, the CDC has admitted that the asymptomatic transmission rate is far less than previously thought. (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7004e3.htm?s_cid=mm...)

With all of that put together, it seems to me that if I am healthy, it would be better for me to save the vaccines for those who want them and need them and let my immune system build my immunity.
I mean technically they are installed but the example is still using UJS and not the functionality provided by the hotwire libs.
Cost is by far the least interesting part of this for me. These are all astoundingly affordable vaccines. $18 is the cost of a big bottle of Claritin!
Man, Quanta magazine is a gift. I love that there is a publication with a significantly higher reading level assumed than most pop science content, but not written for industry insiders, it’s just great.

We have exactly the kind of suburbs he’s describing. See Franklin, TN or even Palo Alto. The problem is that it’s ludicrously expense to live close enough to all the action. My guess is far more expensive than Nordic countries.
I am not a Heroku user so cannot assess how this compares to their offering but as someone who spends ~4 hours a day looking at Terraform and the AWS console this does not look "production" quality at all.

* The web app is deployed to a single AWS EC2 instance which cannot be scaled horizontally.

* The web server is deployed from an AMI filter, when a new AMI matches this filter there will be downtime to redeploy the instance entirely.

* There does not seem to be any considerations for patching the web server.

* Everything shares a single security group. Although this is probably fine because you are using managed services for redis and postgres its still weird to allow port 443/22 from anywhere on your database.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong on these points.

There also seems to be quite a bit of assumed knowledge about AWS and Terraform. You mention the free tier a lot, but that only applies for the first year since your AWS sign up. After the free tier is up this infra is going to cost $40+ per month.
this kind of sucks. http basic auth is a good way to keep sites from being public while demoing.
I like this approach. I make it a point to try to understand other industries that I came across in daily life.

So much information is out there - you just need to learn basic research techniques and be patient/curious. Learning to understand financial statements is also a big one.

Why am I doing this?

a) Curiosity. I want to understand how the world works.

b) I'm looking for some niche industry market that can be improved, in some plausible way. By the way: There's so much weird market segmentation going on in most other industries than software.
For GPUs,
it's actually much faster than O(n^3) because computing each entry in the result matrix is independent. Hence, the problem is embarrassingly parallel in a way.

I don't know how to use O() notation for GPUs but it should be something like O(n^2/k^2) where K is the tile size [0].

Also lower memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck here. So there is a lot of optimizations done on how to transfer from CPU to GPU and then within GPU to efficiently query the matrices.

His comment seems reasonable in context. The article is about poor posture, with chairs and laptops being indicated from the initial image. The initial comment says that nothing has changed for them, implying that their home office setup is just as good as their pre-covid office setup. The reply is to that implicit statement, saying that office chairs are quite expensive, so not everyone is able to reproduce the same setup in a home office.

These are not explicitly stated in the comments, but can be reasonably inferred from the context.
EV charging is already more convenient than gas vehicles for most people. EV charging is done at home, unattended, and takes seconds. Trips to the supercharger are for special occasions, more akin to oil changes (another thing EVs don't have to do) than trips to the gas station.

Not everybody's home supports that, and a few people have driving patterns that require supercharging more frequently. But people who can support EVs find that they're more convenient than gas vehicles, not less. And that number grows larger every day, as apartment buildings and city streets find ways to make charging available.

That will scale roughly as EV production scales. It doesn't require any technological breakthrough. It would be fun if insta-charging happened, but EV owners find it's just not the problem that it's made out to be by people who are "worried". They go home, plug in their car, and never, ever have to go anywhere specifically for the purpose of fueling. In a few years, people are going to look at gas fueling as a waste of their time.
I completely agree, most people like their suburbs. However, I do wonder if there's a connection between American suburbanization and our mental health crisis. Modern suburbs are kind of anti-community and anti-human compared to most historical cities and towns.

You're surrounded by people, but miss out on a lot of the small interactions that come from being close together. You're dependent on a car, so regularly stuck in traffic and can't go anywhere on your own. The boring/ugly aspects might be uninspiring. All fo this is "normal" so you don't notice it in your day to day life, but it adds up.

I'm probably completely wrong here, but when I see the massive mental health and drug issues from otherwise rich, stable, suburban families I wonder if there's a connection.

isn’t it? Many of banks support adding extra note that you’re going to travel somewhere so in case of transactions from place of destination they don‘t block.

AFAIK, the continuous extrusion is actually the standard in manufacturing since the late 1500's.

This is exactly why they _should_ be in a knitting club together. To deflate these tribalistic views which are mostly fuelled by isolation from each other.
From the sidelines it seems like "scaling YC" is similar to "scaling MIT/Harvard/Stanford degrees". Pretty good for the masses who can access it, but bad for alumni.

The early value of YC as I recall (I got rejected from the first three batches IIRC) was that it pulled back the curtain on the VC ecosystem, and transferred some power from the VCs to fledgling entrepreneurs.

Over time the value has shifted to 1) signalling credibility and 2) membership in a powerful network. That is very similar to something like and MBA from Harvard - you definitely learn tons, but the value of Harvard versus other mechanisms to learn the material.
When I worked at att I was really only estimating what your bill would be, I never actually knew what we would charge you for phone service cable or internet even with our internal tools. Bills would also be different from month to month for seemingly no reason
That's a fair point: in China they weren't screening for unknown risk factors like hypovitaminosis D either. And if hypovitaminosis D is a large risk factor (it is, though the causal relationship is unclear—it may just be a comorbidity stemming from some other underlying cause that increases covid risk) studies with much less power should be able to find it (and they did).
