Based on the GIS dataset it's mostly Wahs, Distis, and Nullehs. You need an actual high capacity canals and locks to mitigate the kind of flooding seen in over the past few days. But the law and order situation in that region is a bit erm, lacking, compared to Northern+Central Punjab where industrial level canals the Brits left behind appear to be maintained. A lot of these regions where the flooding happened are also former princely state areas, so there wasn't that much infrastructural investment.

Related, I started a rather successful tech meetup in Tampa, Fl. In just under a year we grew it to 1000 active members. We're expected to hit 30-50k revenue (possibly even higher) as a almost newly nonprofit next year that we're putting back into the community

I still work on several old DOS systems. The only way to get anything off off it is with a floppy or an IDE HDD reader.

Upgrading basically means full controller and PC upgrade. So, you are looking at 50% the price of a brand new system.

I keep a set of floppies and usb floppy readers around. They also make some usb to floppy interfaces that replace the reader in PCs.

A few reasons

1) Convenience is marketable. You couldn't do it in a gas car, you could in some natural gas programs. Plugging in at night and waking up to a full charge is luxurious.

2) While available, charger networks will be catching up until electric cars make up a significant portion of vehicles are electric. We see this with diesel where availability is less than gas. Long charging times don't help

3) it helps expand; if 50% of EV trips use existing electrical (eg charging when the ac isn't running), it reduces lines at more commercial setups.

4) Fast charging can degrade battery life in some cases?
I think this is a great example of "what's good for the individual, is bad for humanity as a whole". Imagine we'd discovered a drug that adds 100 years to a persons natural life. Now imagine this drug was discovered 100 years ago. J.D. Rockefeller and the likes would still be alive and influencing politics. I can't even begin to think how much humanity would stagnate after such an invention.

It does feel like art's disruptive "Calculator moment" is happening where you can now leave a lot of basic/mechanical tasks to a tool and give more focus to higher-minded problems.

It's going to get so cool and interesting, I think.

A lot of the conversation around art may focus more on composition and objectives of the artist in the new prompt engineering world, with less bias from factors such as rendition quality etc. creeping in since it's so incidental.

New forms of art will emerge and/or gain popularity that focus on trying things the tools aren't good at yet. The human artist of the gaps. The niches will constantly be shifting.

I wonder if we'll learn to recognize the output of certain popular models and perceive them as instruments. "Made by xy on z" instead of "xz on guitar", so to speak. I remember the 90s/early 00s internet when it was always easy to tell when something had been done on Flash, just because of its line anti-aliasing rendition style being so distinct and familiar.

The novelty will wear off, and we'll all start to feel a bit disappointed that the average human's imagination is pretty limited and novel/original ideas remain somewhat rare as the patterns and tropes in all the generated art emerge. It's great you can put the space needle where you want it and get a good-looking city and space ship, but how many variations of a cyberpunky skyline with a space ship do you need? And then we'll celebrate the novel stuff that does happen, as always. I suppose the tropes will evolve faster as the throughput goes up.
You make a good point that policing who is who is difficult enough that letting bad guys pay $20 month or whatever is "cheaper" than actively validating who they are and then kicking them off your service for moral reasons. I get the feeling that 9/10 times these bad actors are on the cheapest cheapo plan available so it's actually very expensive to deal many tiny customers versus one huge one.

Oh, but wait, CloudFlare HAS the resources to validate and act, since they know whose fees to send to rights organizations.

And as for being the fire department? Excuse me? They are a company that exists to make money, not a public service beholden to a specific, lawfully mandated social contract. Their first point is a false equivalency and they can go fuck themselves for even bringing that up.

This statement from them is PR fluff.

Paradox of tolerance. You must be _intolerant_ to these intolerant people or they will fuck up everything for everyone. Cloudflare is letting cancer of society erode public trust, just like every other hyper scale tech company, because businesses exist to make money.
The content is available to search engines, and they are highly optimized for SEO, so they show up high in search results. So users expect by clicking the link in the search result they can see the rest of the content. Then you get hit with a paywall.
The points listed there include heart health and the prevention of diabetes and obesity, which are very clearly things traditional caloric restriction also help with. For the other claims I don't see any comparison with traditional caloric restriction (I can't access the source paper).
Want quick answers? Ask questions well
Working remotely day to day, I've seen some patterns of communication that feel like they could be slightly better for this mode of work.

Personally, doing calls with screen sharing when they could have been replaced by a screenshot or a code snippet alongside a text message feels like not the most efficient way to do things. Much like the "this meeting could have been an e-mail joke".

And yet, most of the sites that out there that encapsulate some of these ideas feel a bit emotionally charged:

https://nohello.net/en/ has a facepalm as a reaction to the behavior (though the design is great)

https://nohello.club/ calls pleasantries "useless", even if the logo is cool

https://no-hello.com/ seems to be meant for sending to someone in particular

So I went ahead and made my own little page that attempts to offer similar suggestions in a slightly more boring manner. Maybe some day I'll get a proper domain for it.

Overall, asynchronous communication just feels like one of those things where you can improve how well it works with minimal effort.
FWIW the problems with cold starts could also be solved at the platform layer. App startup is what typically dominates cold start times and there's creative ways to potentially frontload that, serialize the state, and treat all invocations as "warm".
I think it's just really hard for a company to keep innovating like that. Once you get to a certain size about the best you can do is refinement on your existing product or muscle into adjacent products.

It's good to see this problem getting attention. Hackerrank et al are just leetcode with a HR system integration. They're optimised entirely for the business, not the candidate. It misses the point that there is a human aspect to this, too, and not everything should be fully automated.

It has happened more times than I'd care to admit that somebody has passed an interview that I've run following company guidelines (always some algorithm puzzle on a whiteboard) and they've been terrible at the job. It sucks for everybody, the new hire and their team, too. Other times I've been on the fence about somebody in an interview and they turn out to be amazing.

One thing that worries me is that I see "projects" as a test option with this. It's just as much of a problem where companies give candidates projects saying that it should only take a few hours when, in reality, it could take days. That's time that not everybody has on top of a full time job.
Your survey seems very flawed. It puts an average SRE at 175k yet the CxO's only make 200k. Are you sure you're not excluding stock based comp in those numbers?

In any case, even if you go by the data in your survey, a machine learning specialist is supposed to make 150k and a mobile developer 144k. Those are still a lot more than 70-80k.

> Yet in the real world, geography, and luck/ability to bootstrap to HCOL areas plays a huge part

Considering the bar to get into a FAANG is just 4-5 leetcode medium-hard questions, I think there is little gatekeeping happening. This isn't investment banking where if you don't go to an Ivy you can't get in. And there are a lot more firms than FAANG paying big salaries.

> I think you're underestimating how wide the gap is between the bimodal peaks

IBM is your quintessential example of a consulting bodyshop. If anything, they would be at the lower bimodal peak, not the higher one.

Valid. Not everyone's cut out for all positions/ roles indeed.

But that's interesting and worth considering: returning to natural media.

This is something I personally feel strongly about, but do not think will find any traction whatsoever given how things are unfolding, coupled with human nature across time, butttttt... I personally would love to see less production of everything. From churning out entertainment, to product updates strategized around planned obsolescence, and even car & bike models that have marginal upgrades where they won't benefit 99% of consumers/ users, and even food that tries to stay relevant with ridiculous versions of itself in the form of new flavors or toppings or whatever.

In some ways, perhaps whatever I'm longing for (less of everything) may sorta kinda maybe somewhat lineup with you and your colleagues wanting to return to natural media instead of digital? Maybe not?

Either way, interesting to consider.

What I was curious about was how things got this way.

> Meanwhile, Bouzari told me, major U.S. manufacturers haven’t really kept up. They depend on appealing to as broad a swath of the country’s atypically diverse population as possible—not just across racial and ethnic lines, but across the country’s many local and regional food cultures. The results are candies that tend to be highly sweet and pretty bland, forgoing flavors and textures that brands believe might alienate white Americans in particular.

I get the sense that this is only part of the difference in methodology and results.
That makes v-cache that much more impressive. Do you know if the GPU cores will be able to read directly from v-cache?
First, there's a lot of bugs in the world. Second, many bugs get through gaps/holes in window screens. Plus houses have gaps that aren't air-tight and bug-proof. Trust me, the amount of bugs would be shocking to you if you haven't lived in that kind of area before. We even got the occasional snake indoors (maybe once a year or so)!

Basically screened in doesn't mean bug-proof, unfortunately. You might be thinking of mesh bug nets which are very fine and do provide more protection.
I 've never understood the point of JITing. Just compile the thing once for your target architecture and you're done. No more spawning threads for doing the same thing over and over again. I'm glad that languages like Go and Rust are bringing back the lost simplicity of yesteryear's dinosaur languages. Life can be so easy.
You are as overconfident as they are to say that there is "no way" that those things happen.

Let's try to not make false promise one way or another, just wait and see.
>They are a camera company...

Huh? Forgive my ignorance, and perhaps this speaks more broadly to a failure on Snap's own part to accurately convey that image, but the last thing that ever comes to my mind would be calling Snap a camera company. What makes them a camera company as opposed to a social media company?
Thanks for the reply! It's pretty cool to see a physical product succeed in YC!

One thought, you mentioned Skin Type 3-6 in one of the products. Do you have a description of that anywhere? Most Google results for "skin type" focus mainly on how oily your skin is. Having some sort of literature directly on the site may help. Though tbf I'm speaking as a man, I'm not sure how well known it is for your target audience.
100% concur.

Illinois has to allow the Nazis to march: they are the government.

You don't have to allow nazis into your private party, nor do you have to publish their books.

You, as an individual, and corporations as entities are emphatically not the government.

It has to do with commoditization and decreasing costs. Taking something technologically sophisticated and having it become open source and accessible so quickly is going from the top of the pyramid - big companies gate keeping betas, to the bottom - the public, available to everyone, cheaply. These companies are desperately trying to monetize this technology, but the value in terms of what people will pay is falling fast. It might not be a sustainable business model for OpenAI or anyone else for very long. Hence the race to the bottom - quickly make a buck before you can’t.
We will soon enough, now that cloudflare has published this.
I agree, maybe "how he fell for this" part is related to some legal constrictions. I personally dislike this type of apologies which is very commonly used by corporates.

Russian logistics are very good when they are good. Within their rail network they have this service

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Railway_Troops

If they have logistics in place you have the siege of Mariupol where they can fire an astonishing amount of rocket artillery, but if the logistics aren't in place you have the abortive attack on Kiev that the war began with.
Giving security advice in a format like this is always a bit weird. You will never catch all interesting bits much less all the edge cases. On top of that Thomas Ptacek is watching your every move.

As already noted, a tailored list for startups doesn't really exist. IMO, there are two approaches when it comes to establishing security in a Startup. You can either go the standard route or the checklist route.

1. Standard route: You hire a consultant, decide on a standard (preferably ISO27k) and go implementing. Costs a lot of money, takes a lot of time/energy, you will be happy about it in the future, if your company is not broke by then.

The German Federal Office for Information Security has adapted the ISO27001 standard in the past and created the so called Core Protection methodology. You can find the details here:
https://www.bsi.bund.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/EN/BSI/Grundsch...

It's a nice compromise between adherence to the standard and pragmatism.

As a Startup you basically want to protect two things: your IP and availability of your product. The core protection method allows you to specify a very narrow scope that you want to protect and helps you to develop protection requirements.

2. The checklist route: If standards are not your thing, I would advise you to take a look at CISA's "Cyber Essentials" checklist for Small and Midsize Businesses.

If you have 90% of these things implemented - which should be very easy for a startup - you will have a better security posture than 90% of all other companies out there (if not more).

https://www.cisa.gov/cyber-essentials
It's obvious. What was once a mysterious domain can now be constructed with machines. It brings the concept of "art" closer and closer to the "axiomatic theory of art". We are understanding more and more what we are from a logical standpoint.

Actually this might not be for the greater collective good. It might be bad.
You seem to be operating under a definition of "white supremacy" that is at least 5 years out of date.

You see "whiteness" is an illness that uniquely afflicts white people, and causes them to act in their group's self-interest (which is only bad for white people as we all know). Unless you fight against this urge by being actively "anti-racist," i.e. agitating for the benefit of non-white people, then you are a white supremacist (because by simply existing as a passive not-racist white person, you are supporting the white supremacist superstructure).

> terrorist groups that fester through spreading conspiracies about other races and peoples and want nothing less than ethnic cleansing

Given the above definition who exactly is spreading conspiracies about races and agitating for ethnic cleansing? Who is inculcating white children with self-hatred?

Spend 10 minutes on TikTok listening to POCs talk about "palm-handed" people, "mayo demons," colonizers etc. with billions of views and the support of academic, media and corporate orthodoxy, and compare that to some basement dwellers at Stormfront most people have never heard of.

Not sure if the analogy holds. Human brains work on the same principle as lizard brais, no change in strategy was needed to go from lizard intelligence to human intelligence. I'm not saying that DL holds this promise though.
The have added a lot more to it than just change the license, and the replacement is to the GNU AGPL. The original wording in the license puts arbitrary and unenforceable limits on what the end user can do. I would argue the original repo license applies to the weights only and not the code wrapping it. This is completely valid.

They have also made a way to use real-esrgan/gfpgan and so a license change is practicality required.
> - Snowden did enormous damage to US and allies with his indiscriminate distribution of classified information

That would be something like "telling the police about your abusive husband hurts your family". Yes, it did hurt intelligence agencies and their beneficiaries. That is not the same as "the US". The victims of the indiscriminate surveillance were largely American and are much more plentiful than the perpetrators.
No the majority of researchers in the field who have been researching for decades already know deep learning isn't the correct way forward it's just the vocal minority claiming it not to be true for nothing more than purely financial interests.

> I don’t know if this confusion is deliberate to justify certain acts or simply ignorance

Also, my guess is ignorance. Cloudflare is essentially restoring a platform on the internet that is difficult to get and keep for small creators. Their posts on this topic strike me as the super libertarian types who take no issue with privatizing public services.
