You worry about lock-in once you know that you have product-market fit and your current technology is inhibiting development or scale.
If so, I live in that fantasy land. Except, we never see any on-duty law enforcement, as it is virtually never needed. The neighbours that are police work in the city.

I've been living here for 10 years, and I've seen 2 on-duty police cars so far, one was on the first day of school several years ago, when they stopped every car on the way to school/day-care to make sure seats were safe, and one was due to a traffic accident where an electric scooter had hit a car.

My third grade daughter has been walking/cycling (depending on weather) the 2km trip to school for over a year, with a friend, but no adults. The benefits are considerable, both socially, physically and emotionally. 4km/day on top of normal playtime and sports is a nice exercise boost. Spending time away from adult supervision strengthens friendships and boosts self confidence and mental stamina.

Sometimes I miss the city, but for the freedom of my kids, living where I do is night and day in terms of safety and health compared to where I lived before.

Well my point is, a thin tunnel using existing commodity tunneling equipment, without egress, that you put a private $50,000 car into hardly seems like a big "disruption." In fact, it sounds like one extra lane of freeway with a roof on it.

Why not beta test whether adding one extra lane of freeway, but covering it with a roof, improves traffic? I'm betting it won't.
> Every assault makes the news, but cities are safer than they've ever been

Reminds me of one of my favorite pieces of data.[0] Pew tracks both crime rates and perception of crime rates. There's been an overwhelming declining trend crime (especially violent) in the past 30 years. But if you look at perceptions of crime, people think year over year it is on the rise. There's even a bias that it is on the rise more nationally rather than locally. What I like about this is how it shows the biases that we develop. You're right that _every_ assault makes the news (also there's 350m people in the US, even a 1 in 10k event is likely to occur frequently at the national level). Also, pareto plays a role. Most crime is limited to a few states, and really just a few cities in those states, and even more so specific areas within those cities (pareto is fractal in this way). We humans are typically bad at risk analysis.

I should add to this that I grew up and walked to school in the 90's. So it is safe to say that me walking to school as a kid was statistically substantially more dangerous than it is for kids to walk to school today.

It seems to be rate limited - shame. I’ll bookmark for later!
Because there is more to your community and culture than increasing GDP.

A major industry moved to my local area about 30 years ago. It radically transformed a unique area into an Anywhere, USA suburbia, with tons of people coming (and going) from all over the country (and some other countries.)

Nothing is the same anymore, and most of it is objectively worse - much higher crime, for example. The tight-knit high trust community is completely gone. A lot of local culture is gone.

But there's higher tax receipts and the roads have more lanes, so uh, there's that.
This is inevitably the case with renewable options that don't offer on-demand capacity (i.e. not hydro). The success metric for renewable adoption must take into account the need for on-demand generation, at present the most viable and cleanest option being natural gas.
Rate limited message AFTER I typed out my piece. At least block the text box and don't waste users time.
That's not accurate. 99% of people are on fixed rate plans.

Mainly it was one company, Griddy, that sold gullible people variable rate plans.

Griddy was then banned as it failed to provide people power during this time, suggesting their users to switch.

Most Texans are on fixed rate plans via TXU, Reliant, or the many other normal providers.

It was suggested to pass a law preventing variable rate plans that gamble like that, but I'm not sure the state of that.

> The assault and murder rates due to the untreated mentally ill in the cities I’ve lived in is high and visible.

Could you point to data that support that? I've heard it, but in many, many interactions over many years with people who appear to be homeless, including people showing signs of mental illness, I've never had problems. They are like everyone else on the street, friendly if you are friendly. They're just people, like you and me - really, no exaggeration.

I hypothesize that generally (I don't know the parent commenter at all) these stories come from fear of the unknown - a natural human reaction, but so is compassion. Just try overcoming alarm and treating them like normal people, and you'll soon learn the reality. I'd be much more worried about a-holes driving SUVs and using their phones, running over my child in an intersection.

> A major difference between when I grew up and now is the prevalence of the severely mentally ill living on city streets.

It seems to me like there were many more in Manhattan, at least, in the past. City streets used to be far more dangerous - I remember my parents teaching me how to walk, not look like a target, not look people in the eye, etc. All things I don't need to worry about now.

> How can you still write nonsense like this: "Musk used massive government subsidies to produce a small number of luxury electric cars for wealthy people"?

Technically still correct even if the intent was to use the wider margins to enable growth. But more to the parent comment's point, Musk used tax credits intended to incentivize EV purchases by everyday users to inflate the prices for his cars in order to extract more value from buyers/governments.

Proven true by the fact that he had to cut pre-rebate prices after Tesla cleared the sales thresholds for the tax rebates.
It's surprising that you decided to nitpick on hyperbole than any of his other frankly valid claims.

A "small number of electric cars" isn't nonsense. Ford sold as many F-150s in 2021, than Tesla has sold in it's lifetime.
One thing to note is that we support tracking forked/child processes as well!

>> - Much lower overhead, sounds like.

I actually think Fil has the potential to be faster in some situations because it seems that aggregates the flamegraph in memory. Memray needs to do a ton of I/O to disk holding a lock so if is under very heavy pressure it will be a bit slow.

Here are some non-very scientific tests running the "test_list" file from the CPython test suite:

* With pymalloc active (not a lot of heavy presure):

$ fil-profile run -m test test_list
...
Total duration: 278 ms

$ memray3.10 run -m test test_list
...
Total duration: 128 ms

* With pymalloc not active (heavy presure):

$ PYTHONMALLOC=malloc fil-profile run -m test test_list
...
Total duration: 278 ms

$ PYTHONMALLOC=malloc memray3.10 run -m test test_list

Total duration: 344 ms

So as you can see Fil is 20% faster than memray in this scenario. This means that Fil is doing a fantastic job! We spent a lot of time optimizing memray and the fact that Fil can beat it is a testament to Fil's quality :)

Tesla sells 5% as many cars as Toyota (valued at $0.25B vs $1.25T). They would need to increase deliveries 50% year over year for the next 8 years just to match Toyota's deliveries this year. They make a small number of cars. The cars they make are luxury cars based on their selling price. Primarily wealthy people buy these cars.

Ergo, it is a factual statement to say that (1) Tesla sells a small number of (2) luxury electric cars to (3) wealthy people.

Start with assembly
> Well, you still have to patch and secure your OS on EC2. As far as EC2, AWS is really just taking over the hardware portion and making it somewhat easier to scale. But rapidly scaling is not something most apps do, even big ones.

You're stuck on this theme that AWS is somehow akin to scaling. That's one benefit of AWS but it's not the only one. At small scale the margins on AWS are peanuts. A t4g micro is $6.15 / mo. The equivalent on Digital Ocean is $5 / mo. Buying your own Raspberry Pi 4 would be ~ $70 with an enclosure/peripherals, so you'd break even at ... 14 months of running your t4g. This isn't counting the power used (which would probably be minimal on a Raspberry Pi.) That overhead is nothing.

> As far as your host OS goes get a production ready image to run your production ready container images. It's a one time thing. Keeping the OS updated? This is not brain surgery every time there is an update. Plus you can configure it to automatically install security updates.

There's more to it than that. You're just thinking about running software not how packets get from a user's machine to your running software. Most residential connections don't come with a stable/static IPv4. You can update a DNS entry with your changing IP, but then you're down for however long it takes you to change your A record and however long your domain's TTLs to expire. If you pay for a static IPv4 then you've already paid for more than what you're getting from a cloud VPS. Then there's the fact that residential ISPs block tons of ports, have no SLAs on uptime, can drop your traffic without warning or recourse, etc etc.

If you're running a tiny, mostly-static site with minimal uptime requirements then you'll pay less and spend much less effort using a shared webhosting platform. They'll do all the ops for you and you get charged peanuts since these providers usually colo their own machines and run hundreds of sites on them. Dreamhost can serve a Wordpress site for $1.99 / mo with no ops work required. That pays for 35 months of running a Raspberry Pi.
Want to chime in to say it's awesome that Bloomberg is releasing this product to the world. I don't think many financial organizations would even consider releasing anything as open source, even if it is as general purpose as this tool. My current one (HFT,MM) wouldn't go for it.

It also shows good engineering practices. I'd venture a guess that they are probably one of the better ones in the space.

Makes me want to work there! Maybe one day...
(I know you're not arguing for this view, but) I just don't understand this perspective. The whole point about compensation is that it is explicitly a transfer of wealth, and through any transfer some people are going to "lose" money (on gross, but perhaps not lose money on net).

That is, can't I make the same argument about being paid at all above the legal minimum? "Taking a higher-than-minimum salary is really a direct wealth transfer from the employees who choose to remain at the company to former employees who are no longer contributing to building the business/its ultimate value."

The logic being that if a current employee takes a higher salary, then that reduces the valuation of the current (and future) company, which is a wealth transfer from future employees (who own some small share) to the current employee who may leave? From this argument a16z's position seems absurd...
Express lanes with limited access of course do, and tunnels are a great way to save the city above for new routes. But even barring that, I don't see a future for cities that doesn't involve moving more transportation infrastructure underground (for both buses and private vehicles).

I use JuMP to switch solvers to Mosek or an open source solver is something doesn't go as expected.
Can you cite that one? I'm surprised, I had heard about recognizable linguistic activity (evidently you can see your brain working extra hard when it has to re-interpret a sentence you've already started due to additional context), but nothing like recognizable words.
I'm not sure copyright protects you much against someone continuing a story. Trademark protection might.

At any rate, fan-fiction is nothing new and while it might be a bit iffy to do commercially I see nobody even trying something remotely similar without at least the blessing of the original author.

So really I think society has decided who is allowed to continue a story and as far as I can tell it has little to do with copyright and everything to do with public perception.
I suspect because "make a law" conveys some sense of the actual process of legislating, whereas "just pass a law" sounds as if it deliberately minimizes the process and makes it sound as if it is something trivial to do.
The original reasons people used spreadsheets still exist.

The original reasons people needed to move those spreadsheets into tools like Jira still exist.

I'm glad to see a product like this acknowledge that people want both:

a) The flexibility/speed of navigating spreadsheets

b) Centralizing that data for consumption by other people participating in the overall process

Jira and similar products seem to assume people moved away from spreadsheet because spreadsheets suck. This is not the whole story.

A quick tangent if you have time and can discuss it: some really interesting, effective and odd antenna designs came from AI:

I love the idea of tags/categories on sites. They're an alternative navigation strategy that I particularly like using when reading people's blogs.

I have not implemented tags in Minisleep's releases because, whilst doable, they are a bit messy and complex for this codebase. I want people to be able to fully understand what's going on in Minisleep so they can feel confident extending build_page.sh and adding custom script-pages themselves, not be worried they might be breaking some feature somewhere else that they don't know about yet.

Currently Minisleep's philosophy is "editing one page only modifies that one page". There are no central indexes. You are free to re-arrange, delete and create folders and files yourself, the worst you will have to do is re-run build_page.sh afterwards to update hyperlinks on a page.

Adding tags requires you to generate and update centralised pages regularly (eg every time a page has its tags changed or is deleted). If anyone modifies pages in a way that does not trigger these updates: things break.

Another (but more minor) issue: Minisleep's page relationships are hierarchical (folders) not relational (ala SQL). Tags are a bit more relational, ie different pages are arbitrarily related. For the pages themselves this is not a problem (tags are just a list of links somewhere on the page, no need to reference external materials when generating them) but it means the central tag pages (listing other pages with x tag) need to be made by trawling through _every_ page on the site manually with no optimisation.

In reality this is mostly fine, it's not really that performance demanding unless you have a wiki with thousands of pages or more (at which point you probably are not using Minisleep). I do it this way on my personal website https://halestrom.net/ for generating the front page index of articles and comments, with some hacked-up half indexes. It's a mess but it works, and that's exactly the sort of thing I want users to hack up and add to their Minisleep sites themselves, rather than accept as a mess from me.
> ... unless it becomes a crazy persons labour of love

Or there are valid business reasons to keep chipping away, in particular on performance-per-dollar problems at scale. If you're spending $1M/month on hardware to run something, each 10% win is worth enough to employ a couple senior engineers.
I think you're confusing social class with Marx's proletariat (working class) vs bourgeoisie (capitalists).

Your bargaining chips are determined by supply and demand. If you have stuff - money, knowledge, skill, power by virtue of organizational position - you have leverage. If you don't, you don't. Eliminating social class doesn't change this much.
Yeah, after the last catastrophe. They learned a lesson.

In fields where I have expertise, the Reddit discussions I've seen are worse than nothing - the wrong answers to the wrong questions. I find them a waste of time, with very rare exceptions.

Perhaps I'm painting with too broad a brush, and some subreddits are valuable?

> curated content from true experts _tends_ to be a lot better (finding those experts is obviously hard)

Yes! I would love a search engine that is limited to high-quality sources. Technically it seems simple: Just limit indexing to expert/professional/high-quality domains. If I look up something in the field of science, show me results from Nature, the NY Times science section, AAAS, conferences, Scientific American, etc.

Some valuable content would inevitably be omitted, but we live in an age of information overload - I would much rather omit a few things than deal with the 99% low quality info.
i will warn anyone against taking on convertible debt or government backed debt while also investing your own time and money in a company. i have been through this experience and sooner or later the debt will mature. this could mean that you lose all the IP you developed and the money invested. tread carefully.

i have also tried to raise debt against considerable IP assets (not patents but actual implementations and products) and was never able to do that. this remains a huge opportunity to this day.

raising debt against real estate or other traditional assets is nothing new and no point in writing an article on that. i would personally never borrow against my home no matter how much i believe in my company as there is always the unexpected event that can f** up everything.

That’s essentially a signing bonus. Remember that you will owe income tax on that. So if they paid the option price and 83b’d you then you would be on the hook for taxes (the money they used to exercise) on an asset that could be worth 0 one day.

The company could however pay for exercising and pay the income tax on that cost. Then it would be interesting.
This article never says 5 years old children, what it says is:

"Scottish health authorities had initially reported 10 cases of acute hepatitis in children aged under 10 --on 5 April--, the origin of which was not established".

"--" are mine. Some of those children weren't vaccinated, most had less than 5 years old but not all. At least in Spain some were aged enough to receive a vaccine. As it seems that some adults had liver problems after being vaccinated, and that some of the cases could be still undiscovered, the question is valid and the hypothesis deserve further discussion.

Maybe are we missing some additional info that does not appear here?
