I dug a bit deeper. Looks like it's truly a "agency of one" in that he doesn't outsource his work. Rather, the customers are given access to a queue (that they can prioritize) where only one item in the queue is actively being worked on at a time.
Valid point.. I should have put it in terms of the effort/ROI of each approach:

In that first five years, it was entirely word of mouth. The only people who found us did because they met someone in the core group or knew someone who met someone in the core group. It required us to talk about it regularly everywhere in addition to organizing the actual meetings, etc.

In the next year on Meetup, they only had to organize meetings.

Fundamentally, it's not all that different than any early stage startup except that we were driven by passion, not pay.
That's fucked up. I hope the job is worth it.
Oh, I really wish those hackers would release the sources rather than pursue their dumbass crypto-mining demands... "We decided to help mining and gaming community" - hurting the gaming community, helping the get-rich-quick "community".

My own C++ wrappers for the CUDA APIs (shameless self-plug: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/) would really benefit a lot from behind-the-curtains access to the driver; and even if I just know how the internal logic of the driver and the runtime works, without actually being able to hook into that logic - I would already be able to leverage this somewhat in my design considerations.

Also, NVIDIA has definitely had this coming in its choice to promote its own proprietary execution ecosystem (CUDA), rather than build everything up over OpenCL or over both; and in keeping so much of its code clsoed.
This coupled with the jail sentences for "disinformation" are predictable in autocracies like Russia. They desire to shutdown information and steer their subject populations into the path of correct thinking.

Very disturbing to see the EU following down this path with the censorship of RussiaToday and other Russian propaganda outfits.

We aren’t an agency of one (but three) and have been doing this for many years. It’s been very helpful for both companies and ourselves. Let me explain:

We niched down to helping B2B software teams design better products (UI/UX). [1]

That focus helped us get really good at tackling design problems for these companies super effeciently.

Companies then benefit from just plugging us into their workflow and hit the ground running.

In the end, we as designers get to focus on what we love doing without the hassle of classical agencies (networking, endless prospecting). So less time is wasted doing things we hate.

And companies benefit from a more economic offering.

Why more economic?

Because we structure our business like a SaaS, our marketing is also structured like a SaaS. Clients find us, we don’t chase them.

The reason classic agencies are super expensive is because they spend many unpaid hours looking for projects. Then when they have one, the client gets charged a premium to cover for the previously unpaid hours.

A subscription model and treating the agency like a SaaS is more fair IMHO for both parties.

We have two EVs and in the last 18 months they were charged away from home a grand total of 5 times. Even if they were full 45 minute charge session and not just quick top ups to get home, that's significantly less time that people spend going to the gas station each year with one vehicle.
I really don't like dual displays, but I will say the Dell UltraSharp U4919DW is amazing hooked to my MacBook. The 32x9 is effectively two displays and it works very well as long as you do not try to use the HDMI port. Still not sure, why.

I'm hoping someone does a true 4K version (well 2 4Ks side by side I guess)
The way I've gotten around that is to create a table that's 1 cell, add inner-padding, and format it with consolas & 12pt ft...etc. Total PITA to do each time you want to copy in code.

I watched the first half. Having watched many (too many?) climbing vids it was actually incredible by comparison. The scenes are a series of statically-positioned full-sphere 3D shots where you can watch him climb through a sequence or turn and look out at the mountains. Scale is conveyed in a sense not possible with your standard 2D video, especially of both height and the actual geometry of the rock he has to move through. Very similar experience to watching someone climb as a belayer or when hanging next to them on a rope. Greatly enjoyed.

Anyone who has tried to take a photo of a climb they've just completed will know how difficult it is to really capture the climb and what was interesting or difficult about it. So much so that people will often resort to visual tricks to make the photo of the route look steeper, to match their non-photographic perception (you can pick this out by looking at the angle of trees in the background). It's also notoriously difficult to match a real-life climbing route to a photo, as anyone who has stumbled around a crag squinting at a guidebook will attest. I think this form really does capture what it's like to be looking at the route in real life.

In the US, at least, people's thoughts on classes seem all over the map. Some people think of 'working class' or 'blue collar' as people without degrees but if a teacher makes less than a plumber than who is in what class.

OTOH calling yourself 'rich' is going to sound braggy. Someone with a comfortable 6 figure income and a 2 million dollar house may sound like they are downgrading themselves by saying 'upper-class' but if they say 'rich' a lot people are going to think that 'rich' means private island in the Caribbean, not two weeks in Hawaii.

It's best to just stay away from it.
Maybe people just don’t have clear class identities? I grew up middle, perhaps upper middle class in the US. Both of my parents, especially my mother, came from lower social economic backgrounds than what they provided for me. I was very close to my mom’s extend family as a kid. My grandparents grew up very poor. No running water, dirt floors type of poor. By the end of their lives they were upper middle class. Some of their kids did even better, others regressed to the mean.

We’re all still part of the same family. The shared values among the family are much stronger than any shared values across class identities. Class just doesn’t offer much explanatory value to me. I suppose I am upper middle class today, but I don’t think “oh yes, let’s instill some upper middle class values in our kids.” I don’t even know what those would be.
I didn't say you're having a conscious experience. I just said that if you're having a conscious experience (which I would assume you are, but it's impossible to prove), then you're not a P-Zombie, by definition.

Bad inspiration from Wordle I guess
Today I introduce the Un-cc!

That old gcc is too big and complicated. In fact all the normal c compilers are too complicated. No one can read them and understand everything. There's thousands of lines of complicated code in there. Even in new reimplimentations like llvm.

So I have a new cc that only has about 8 lines of code. It's refreshinly simple to understand.

This makes it better. Enjoy!
I think I see your point, however, what I'm saying is I'd rather pay for something in exchange for some semblance of availability and security guarantees.
I have to say you lost me at:

> The cost of a Chernobyl-scale incident is that it renders a region uninhabitable and kills several hundred people.

There are quite a few interesting numbers regarding Chernobyl:

31 deaths, for example, is an official figure. But the credits for the TV series also state that estimates of deaths would vary between 4,000 and 93,000 victims.

A bit more about the numbers and some additional estimations:

The environmental organization Greenpeace estimates the total number of dead as a result of the Chernobyl accident at 93,000.

Kate Brown, a professor at MIT, considers up to 150,000 deaths realistic for Ukraine alone.

The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) says Chernobyl caused 50,000 to 100,000 deaths and up to 900,000 disabled.

34,499 rescue workers died, according to the Ukrainian Commission for Radiation Protection. However this figure is considered to be wrong because there is usually no such precise information on this scale. So the number just seems to be doctored to look more precise than is possible at estimations like these.

So now we can pick and choose to support our ideology. I don't pick and chose, but state that there are quite a few nuclear reactors that sit in areas way more densely populated with massively more inhabitants in the zone of imminent danger.

So any extrapolation from Chernobyl numbers (whichever one selects) would need to factor this into their argument imho.

Edit: One question ==>

> Waste storage is obviously a challenge. The US has apparently produced enough nuclear waste "to cover a football field about seven yards deep." (64,000 metric tons)

Does this number include the parts of the reactor buildings being contaminated?

>
I am also interested in this. I don't understand how it makes sense to talk about "class" in such a discrete way.

Is a FAANG engineer who earns $250k/year really an oppressed proletarian? Is the small bakery owner who struggles to make ends meet really a bourgeois because he owns a mean of production?
That isn't obvious?

It's trying to copy the artificial scarcity of Wordle, which limits the amount of times you can play to encourage sharing the link.
I see that the front page has language examples both in Cyrillic and in Latin alphabets.

Also I do not believe that there can be a better choice than "es", because I suppose that in order to simplify the grammar they have removed the personal terminations from the verbs, in which case "est" of the 3rd person singular becomes "es", just the simple stem of the verb.

Also, even if their examples show an explicit "es", optionally omitting redundant words is a trivial rule to add to any language grammar.

It is likely that there are other aspects of the language that can be criticized, but these 3 points seem OK.

Indeed. Consciousness itself is quite real (mine is anyway). It's the experience and awareness of my place in this simulation of the world that my meat-based computer is running. Turn off my simulation (sleep, anestesia, death) and consciousness goes away.
The Dell UltraSharp U4919DW is 32x9 with a 5120 x 1440 at 60Hz. I works with the MacBook as long as you do not use the HDMI port. I have mine hooked up either via a Thunderbolt 4 dock or a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.

> I always get a kick out of it when travelling motorway speed downhill

You'd probably get some giggles out of the OG Nissan Leaf. We have a steep hill near our house and it takes 6 miles of range to get up one side, but I've gotten 10 miles back coasting down the other side.

That's a rounding error for a Tesla but 10% of the charge on a Leaf.
> In this case, there's no evidence to even suggest it was an abrupt stop.

That's exactly what happened based on this article, assuming we agree that "slam on the break" means an abrupt stop.

"At first, the Independence Police Department speculated that a mechanical issue caused the Tesla to lose power, but officials are now saying they are unsure what made the vehicle stop unexpectedly [...]

Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a preliminary investigation into Tesla after hundreds of owners reported that their vehicles would sometimes unexpectedly slam on the brakes for no apparent reason. According to the agency, these incidents, known as "phantom braking," sometimes happened at highway speeds.

Sudden braking occurred when owners had switched on cruise control or Autopilot, a system that automatically brakes, steers, and accelerates to aid with highway driving. NHTSA is investigating the phenomenon in Model Y and Model 3 vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years. Owners of 2019 and 2020 vehicles have also complained to NHTSA about phantom braking."

The cost of removing an impedance mismatch between other peoples's code and your code base is inversely proportional to the scale of your code-base. If you have a 10 line program, use the standard libraries. If you have 10 billion lines of code, write your own language. Everything inbetween is a trade-off between comfort and effort.

Differing industries are often experience these cyclical inversions at different rates. At the moment there has been a trend in industrial power away from single huge projects and more towards managed services models, and I suspect a lot of that is down to accountants finding fun new ways to capitalize the costs.

As someone who helped launched such a service, it's nice for me because the revenue is reliable, but I suspect both our services and contractor rates are much, much higher than what this is looking at.

It's possibly more in line with the "small art design" markets in which you can hire a graphic designer or musician or whatever out of the global south that is doing solid work for a fraction of what a more developed country agency would charge. Which is great for everyone except the existing freelancers in said developed countries.

Yes, please.

I'd also like to see cover letters replaced by something more useful for both parties, like a small set of direct questions to answer.

When an applicant applies for a job, she's left to make her best guess as to what information the company might find useful, and has to find a way to cram that into an awkward, stiff, rather bullshitty epistolary format. The hirer is then left to try to parse and interpret that to arrive at some guesswork notion of whether the applicant might be a fit.

If the hiring company were to instead come up with a list of guided questions, they'd communicate and request up front what information they need to determine whether a candidate is worth meeting (and thereby would be forced to figure this out themselves before beginning interviews—an important step often skipped). Seeing these questions, the applicant would first make a quick judgment on whether she's interested in a company or role that wants to know these things, and then if she is, proceed to answer them, demonstrating her ability to communicate in a much more contextual, engaged fashion, versus modifying her own cover letter template or laboring over the blindfire of a custom one.

I see only advantages to this approach. It helps companies avoid an inbox full of inappropriate applicants who didn't even read the job description, and it enables applicants to learn more about the company and role up front while breaking the monotony of the application grind and having a greater opportunity to put their best feet forward by applying their personality, knowledge, and experience contextually, rather than packing it into a shotgun shell and blasting the job board with buckshot.

This may ask for more of an applicant's time than the current approach, especially in an era where every job site is trying to make applying into a one-click process, but as someone who has spent a truly unbelievable amount of time and effort looking for jobs (and a fair amount of time hiring), I can confidently say the dragnet application approach is ineffective, inefficient, and demoralizing compared to preparing fewer, better applications for jobs that actually interest you.

Framing any and all success (maybe not what OP is doing, but a lot of people do this so it's probably worth addressing) as "sheer dumb luck" implies that you think there's a lot of things in your life that are outside your control when they really aren't. The OP may have deliberately chose that wording to convey that _in their case_, their love for computers was something they pursued completely and entirely ignorant of it being a high-demand/high-paying field. There's a lot of people that have convinced themselves that the odds of them getting a well paying job and doing better for themselves are approaching zero, for no reason other than believing that the only way to have that happen is to be born into it or to have "sheer dumb luck". That prophecy fulfills itself.

There's luck involved, but it's only part of the story.
As someone who has been incredibly lucky _and_ has worked very hard to surpass a rough start, I think it simply helps to have a thorough understanding of what it means to be lucky.

You could be the best [whatever] in the world, but if you're on your couch and disconnected, nobody will ever notice. Luck would literally have to come and hunt you down at random. If you're pretty good at [whatever] but at the right places (including virtually) and meeting the right people, luck will work far better for you.

In both cases, luck is important. You can be among the best and be at every conference and active on every forum, and do well in every competition, and be first to launch with every idea, and get funded every time, and still lose badly, repeatedly. Which is why we like to say it's important to get used to losing. Because even if you're very good and always in the right places at the right times with the right people - you _still_ need luck.

You just need less luck than someone who isn't showing up every day. And a lot less luck than someone literally doing nothing in the middle of nowhere. But you still need luck.
