This seems like a huge humble brag. Guy graduates, makes a successful startup with his friend, lives on exotic beaches coding all day, sells the app for 6 figures, and in the end this is the second biggest regret of his life? Are you kidding me? Would really love to hear what his #1 regret is...

edit: the more I think about it the more I'm not buying this story.

By the time they left the accelerator (of course they were the #1 startup of the batch), they had a startup with an app that had traction, they had paying customers, they had thousands of downloads a day, and were pulling in at least $55k per year, revenue the author describes as "stable". The author claims at that point he was demotivated (why??) and decided to backpack across the world (which was funded by the app income, I would assume).

Then he gets a mysterious offer out of the blue from a faceless, nameless buyer, who the author never saw or even talked to personally even after the eventual sale. The buyer stays engaged for an entire year despite being ghosted in an attempt to buy this thing (because it's just that amazing?), and somehow the founders manage to talk him up to 2x the original offer! Afterwards, the app goes on to be a great success, and the author attributes that all to himself, and not anything the buyer did with the app ("The buyer is doing minimal updates, just enough to keep the app alive.")

I'm sorry but this whole story just seems fantastical. At every stage, the author paints himself in the best light possible, and everything good happens to him, despite this being a cautionary tale of woe and regret. Nothing bad happened in this whole story. Add to it the author offers no personal details in order to corroborate the story, and his entire online presence seems to be one of self-promotion, and I'm just not buying it. I mean, his pseudonym is "shadowy", which is pretty on the nose here.

So when I said:

Am I missing something more than "but it's happening on-device!"?

Your answer is "no".
In UK, where NHS is publicly owned, it was actually policy to have 90% occupancy of ICU beds. If it was less than that, the "extra" beds would be removed.
In the US city that I live in, cars get stolen an awful lot too. And not just puffers (cars left with the keys in the ignition to warm up on a cold day) -- I've heard of plenty of locked recent-year cars stolen from private locked garages with no keys at all. I believe car theft is up at least 500% from pre-covid.

And that's to say nothing of the opportunistic catalytic converter thefts if you park your car on the street overnight.
Ever since working on Integrated-Logistcs-Support I take issue when terms like reliability are thrown around. Because in the end it's a result of looking at Reliability (stuff not breaking down often), Availability (stuff being functional when planned to be), Maintainability (how easily stuff can be kept functioning and repaired when broken), Supportability (how easy spares can be get) and Testability (how easy it is to find defects).

On that, Availability is the result of all the rest. With the important part of planned Availability, because that excludes stuff like planned maintenance. Arguably modern cars beat old ones in that category.
So, "agile", then?

> I consider I'd be doing free labor for a company not willing to let its own workers contribute to a project if they can't monopolize the returns from it

I don't think that is the reason. When Raytheon or other contractors perform software work under a DOD contract (i.e., they charge the labor to a contract) the government generally gets certain exclusive rights to the software created. Raytheon is technically still the copyright holder, but effectively is required to grant the US government an irrevocable license to do whatever they want with the source in support of government missions if the code is delivered to the government. Depending on the contract, such code may also fall under blanket non-disclosure agreements. I believe both of these are incompatible with the GPL, and the latter with having a public fork at all.

The company could work this out with the government, but it would be an expensive and time-consuming process because government program offices are slow, bureaucratic, and hate dealing with small exceptions on large contracts. They might even still refuse to make the contract mods required at the end simply because they don't understand it or they are too risk averse. Legal is likely of the opinion that it isn't worth trying, and the Raytheon program office likely won't push them unless they can show a significant benefit for the company.
Every time I see something like this I have two answers: none and all. On one hand, "life changing" is a big word and I have never read anything that I could possibly say had as big an impact on me as, say, having children. It's hard to imagine articles and books are life changing, only that they can contribute to life changing actions.

On the other, nearly everything I've read has changed me and how I saw the world, even ever so slightly. Different perspectives, bits of knowledge, connections made that I'm not even aware of. So I guess I just have to assume that everyone's definition of "life changing" is going to be quite wide depending on their own life experience and attitudes.
Yeah, I normally buy used, and this time I just bought new (technically I leased new, but it's the first time I'm leasing a car in my entire life), because it just didn't make any sense to me to buy a used car for almost the same price as a new car.
> The problem is that FIRE has become a magnet for people who are miserable. This subset of FIRE people see their job as the source of all of their misery and have glorified the idea of FIRE as the only escape hatch.

Frankly I'm amazed that there are people who don't see their job as their primary source of misery. I mean, I can understand it on a logical level, I just can't empathize. When I take time off I get up every day and actually get to decide for myself what I want to do with it and that's amazing. Work doesn't permit me that. Instead I have to prioritize away most of the things I want to do and squeeze the rest in between the 8+ hour chunks of my time I'm forced to sell. I derive no meaning from my work, it simply exists to sustain me. I'd get a job with fewer hours, even with the significantly lower pay, but because I live in the US that's impossible if I also want to have decent healthcare.
Sounds like he sold the app for $110K after being demotivated by a shitty accelerator... and then the app went on to gross $110K+ a year with minimal maintenance.

I'd be salty too.
>do you think developers are the only people who deserve to consume information?

I think he just meant the overall narrative was hard to read, I think it was too.

I don't know what 'non-tech crowd' has to do with it. They can read blogs and paragraphs and other formats too...
Much of the ECUs OEM are purchasing from Tier 1 suppliers (Denso for example - a Toyota spinoff) who are directly hit by IC shortage, so that's why they are talking about overall supply.
Also Japanese OEMs and suppliers tend to favor ICs from Renesas, and Renesas has been hit particularly hard this year [1].

No, inflation has to do with the price of goods and services. Inflation is defined as "a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money".

Inflation can be caused by many things: reduced supply, increased demand, expectation of future price increases, degradation in the quality/desirability of alternative products (eg bond yields), and, yes, an increase in the amount of dollars chasing an asset class/product/service.

Re: your original question, to be a bit pedantic, the supply of money on its own cannot cause inflation in consumer goods except via extremely odd channels (e.g., inflation expectations). A trillion dollars sitting in a bank account has approximately no effect on prices. Like a bullet in a chamber, money at rest has no effect on consumers' experience of inflation until it's propelled forward.

But it's important not to conflate causes with definitions. Also, attributing causes of inflation to particular instances of inflation is often extremely and inherently political. The inflation we've seen in consumer goods is a complex phenomenon with many disparate causes. Beware of anyone selling you a "just-so" story for the cause of inflation in a few dozen disconnected goods and services.

Especially if that story aligns perfectly with their ideology/product/investment/political campaign.

And even more especially if they start the story by conflating one possible cause of inflation with the very definition of the thing.
> This seems highly unlikely. You could train a model to find those exact known hashes, but I highly doubt you could get it to accurately find any other unknown hash.

Your "highly doubt" is baseless. Black box attacks (where you create adversarial examples only using some inputs and outputs, but not the model) on machine learning models are not new. They have been demonstrated countless times [1]. You don't need to know the network at all.

> These are all, in fact, secret.

This is not the case, since regular, unprivileged Apple employees can and will look at the inputs and outputs of the model (the visual derivatives and their hashes). It's also irrelevant.

You insist that there is some kind of analogy between "keeping the model secret" and keeping a "cryptographic key" secret. There is no such analogy. It makes no sense. It is simply not there. Keeping a cryptographic key secret keeps confidentiality and integrity. Keeping your model secret accomplishes neither of these.

Not everything is a purpose built CPU, GPU or SoC on cutting edge nodes. There are many general purpose ICs that are boring and ubiquitous: Display drivers, power conversion, amplifiers, microcontrollers, etc.
(All this is wrong, go to edit) I would expect this mead to be high ABV, in the 12-13% range.
The rule of thumb I've heard, and has been good in my experience is 1.035 SG per 1 lb honey per 1 gallon of water. The 3 lbs in 1 gallons would come out to a ~1.105 SG, which is a bit over 13%.
Though, the sugar content of honey varies from batch to batch, and the non ferment-able sugars from the caramelization process, I would expect anywhere from 9-12%. The more caramelization, the more "burnt sugars", the less ABV.~

EDIT: I grossly miscalculated the weight oz to lbs. This is only 1.5 lbs, which would be ~5-6%, making it more akin the ABV of a beer. Same caveat that it would have probably been lower due to the unfermentable sugars.
> Header files serve as a library interface for almost all languages out there, and are so simple that for the most part they can automatically be used from other languages to access the library

What does that have to do with compilation? I use C headers all the time from Java projects and I've never had to compile them. Not manually anyway.

Headers are usable from Python, Tcl, Lua, Java, C# and a whole lot of other languages that similarly don't require compilation and don't require much effort further than issuing a single command.

The modules being proposed as a replacement for headers cannot, and will never, provide this functionality.
Tesla does not equal electric cars. Most well known brands have great electric cars now, not to mention all the new brands like Nio and Polestar.
Then your problem isn't the medium. Your problem is a lack of trust and to rely too much on facial signal that, in other scale of things, are a very bad way to measure your collaborators
I don't think that's exactly true and actually may be a common misconception - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1JlYZQG3lI for a much better explanation than I could provide.
Out survives

We have no predators but we do have a lot of existential threats. The more we spread out the more chances we have of surviving. If we sit on our hands and stay put we’ll wind up like the dinosaurs one way or another.
> just stepping into adulthood and financial responsibility.

I am older than that (40 and my wife is 35) and while we have been independent professionals for a while, we now have a 1 year old so this summer for the first time in our lives we bought a house and a car.

It was definitely harder to find a house (mainly less availability driving competitive bidding) and it took a little longer to find a car and we ended up having to pay MSRP.

However the thing I can say is - the incremental cost/hassle of having to do these things during the pandemic supply crunch is almost irrelevant compared to having to do this stuff at all. We paid say 3% more for the car and ok maybe 10/20% for the house than we would have otherwise, obviously that's painful but if I was "just stepping into adulthood and financial responsibility" I'd look to avoid this stuff altogether.

EG: do you need to own a house? If you're a single person, "throwing away" money on a relatively inexpensive rental might be much wiser than "investing" in a house in a seller's market. Likewise, if you're young and single then you should relatively easily (depending on where you live of course) arrange your life to not need a car. It was very easy for us in NYC, of course may be different for you.

The point is that in my mind, "adulthood and financial responsibility" don't have to translate "got my own house and car" but simply "making wise financial decisions given my situation" so if there's room to be flexible, be flexible.
Not only they need to be realistic, they need to be accurate and real-time.

If I see a colleague confused during a presentation, I can adjust my delivery. I can’t do the same unless the avatar communicates that to me in no uncertain terms.
What short term profits? The car industry has among the lowest margins in the entire economy.

Moreover the chips were never outsourced. Toyota never made its own chips, nor is it feasible to. You seem to have some sort of idealized view where a company internally manufactures everything it needs starting from raw materials. That’s not how it works, and that’s never how it worked.
The fact that clunkers can be kept running at some level for an extended period of time (especially if they're not somewhere that the frame will simply rust out from road salt) doesn't change the fact that what people in developed countries would consider reliable day-to-day transportation has a significantly longer life cycle than it used to.

I've wondered if somebody could use a black hole jet to power a civilization. The trouble I see with it is that the power of the jet is highly variable so you need some mechanism to even it out... Maybe some really big dust clouds that re-radiate it at a reasonable temperature.
> Oh ok it's only allowed to making negative claims about Tesla

I do not understand what this means. But I am simply stating that the data for ICE vehicles is far longer and the dataset larger, especially for Toyota and other reputable brands, to make a conclusive claim that Tesla’s reliability (and even maintenance) is less over the whole life of the vehicle.

Although I do not doubt that it is possible for electric vehicles to achieve this claim, and maybe Tesla already has.
>> whereas nearly everyone wants car prices to go back to normal.

There is a significant voice that would like to price cars out of private ownership. Traffic, pollution, safety, urban sprawl ... pick your evil and someone wants to eliminate private cars for that reason.

I regularly read about how the next wave of cars will all be somehow "shared", that we will whistle and they will appear at our doorsteps ready to carry us off to our 9-to-5 jobs in shiny glass office towers. I just don't see that happening anytime soon. Total conversion to electric cars in 10 years, maybe. Conversion to total ride-sharing and/or mass transit, doubtful in 30.
Man, you are reddit-level obnoxious. Part of me wants you to explain it to me, but part of me thinks you're just an ass. Again, I ask you Mr. Righteous if your consumption is slave-free, or if you think that doesn't matter since there's a national border between you and the slaves.
That's what we do for geosynchronous orbit, for example. But if you want a satellite to fly over the entire surface of the Earth to take pictures it'll have to be in a polar orbit and those all cross at the poles where the last major collision was.
I too am without a Twitter account. I am using Chrome on a laptop and had 0 difficulty reading this thread. What specifically is your issue?

Can someone explain to me why this wasn't the case before covid? Are the companies who are ahead of the automakers "in line" ordering more than before covid?
Come on, we all know this problem and we all know the solution. It's probably red-circuits that we are talking about here. We've all been there: you have your yellow belts full of green-circuits, but the red ones are just so much more complex. You need to set up the entire oil production chain for that, which is tedious and you probably rushed it just 'get a few red circuits so I can get my electric furnace'...

I say, take a step back, take some time and really automate plastic-bar production (yes, even the oil wells and refineries, and don't just put rocks in a container, belt them over there like a grown-up)

Only after producting enough for a full red belt, should you continue expanding into other branches, like robots and faster belts.

Don't they teach this stuff anymore?

This is mostly just a reflection of the fact that the value of the dollar has declined precipitously over the last 18 months. Dollar prices are sticky, so it can take a bit of a shock for inflation to “kick in”, but we’ve had plenty of shocks to go around.
Would be news to me that mathematicians consider maths to work like C++ language semantics. (endless loops that don't "make progress" are UB, so it can optimize them away)
I've read portions of that book, and the description is not inapt. It's a man of late middle age explaining to his young (14 iirc) wife _every painful feature of her duties_ in excruciating detail and with perfect self-concern, in a way that is not typical of the way wives are addressed and marriage handled in other works I've read from the time. I found it hard not to dislike the author intensely, which was not my reaction to other medieval writing at all.
How would you cover the whole planet if things can only go in a single direction? Things orbiting around a sphere must cross paths at some point in order to get global coverage.
It's not about there being "enough" gas stations. It's about location. If people are willing to go to a new gas station because it's in a more optimal location for them, then there's a market for it. People often prefer one station over another just to avoid left turns.

There may also be other factors at play with the convenience store. Is there a store like that within walking distance? That's another market opportunity. In my home state there is a gas station chain who is very popular for their pizza. They actually opened another station in my home town specifically to keep up with demand for the pizza.

I’ve taken my son on an e-bike daily since he was 11 months old - he loves it compared to being in the car. There are a range of products on the market handling up to 4 kids and with creature comforts like rain shields.

I interviewed a guy for a dev job a while back who had written software for a consumer embroidery machine just because he had one and wanted it to work better, that had turned into a pretty good side business and it sounded like he had the same customer base, and it was a very profitable niche. A small but devoted group of users who weren't well served by the manufacturers and didn't have the technical skills to develop a solution for themselves.
I capitalized on it by buying a new car and selling my old one. I sold a 3 year old camaro for $1000 less than I paid for it. I didn't get very much off MSRP of the new car, but I got way more value from a three year old camaro than I ever expected to get.

This is something I've never learned how to defend against. I've always tried to stay professional... but I'm a chronic under-estimator, and also find it difficult to say no, which is a recipe for disaster.

Unfortunately people usually don't work like the team they purport to be (managers shielding their ICs, POs tracking down AC)-- they just see your willingness to work and exploit it for as much as you'll do, rather than trying to make a system that hums forward quickly. They demand speed, but don't want to improve process to get that, they just want you to work more and harder.

Is there a way to build trust or consistently set boundaries or protect your time? Some of my co-workers say "I'm almost out of hours for this week", which I think is one of the only things they understand, but then you really have to close the chat client and not help other devs, lest you miss your "estimates".

That they also summarized it in one paragraph for the audience here on hn is separate from that point
