I think indexeddb is somewhat orthogonal to this library.

The memory efficiency you might get would be that you don't need to hold the whole dataset in memory while running the filter step though at the moment it looks like it assumes you're working with an array in memory (https://github.com/leeoniya/uFuzzy/blob/main/src/uFuzzy.js#L...). That said I suspect there distance between this and something that could search against a stream of data is pretty short.
People don’t summit Everest in one go from 0m -> 8848m though… in a “single activity”. I don’t know how far up the Everest base camp is but it’s not on sea level.

In the limit, if the height of Everest goes to infinity and the base camp is say 2000m below the summit; Everesting would become impossibly challenging.

Funny you mention SEO. SEO is good example how network impacts your reach. SEO ranking is all about the network. You can't have good SEO ranking without network (other people and websites referencing to you). So network wins, again. More people you know and share your product in early phase, the better. They will mention it in social, on their blogs etc. If you knew few people, fewer people will knew for you too.

There's nothing theoretically impossible about the suggestion, giving it a shot would be doable today if someone with resources really wanted to. I'm sure people at Neuralink or similar companies talk about stuff like this all the time.

But there's a big difference between "it wouldn't be theoretically impossible" and "the resulting model would actually work and be useful for anything". I would bet with p80 if you literally tried this with a lot of good researchers and resources, you would get a model that outputs a bunch of mashed up electrical brain data that, hey, actually looks pretty damn realistic. Maybe you could use that to better understand how the brain works, and improve the model. But I would almost guarantee you wouldn't suddenly be talking to a man in the computer. The compute isn't there. Maybe in 50 or 100 years.

If you mean catch up as in FSD is making billions while Waymo is losing billions, yes the comparison is apt. Boston Dynamics tech is very impressive but they don't seem very good at commercializing it. Tesla bot may be janky now, but I could imagine it could do some useful tasks in their factories in 5-8 years or so. We'll see, I think the development will take even longer than self-driving, but at least it will be fun to follow the progress if they're as open as with FSD
> They probably ask more cybersecurity questions than any other group

And therein lies the problem. Ask lots of questions on paper, and you get something that is very secure on paper.

But if you want something actually secure, you need to do pentests, have a substantial bounty program, have the design+code inspected by security reviewers, etc.

At the end of the day, there are people who succeeded solo and then there are those who succeeded with a cofounder(s).

Guess theres no one “only” way to do it. Suppose you gotta do what feels right for you, experiment, iterate and find something that makes you happy to do what you do.

If I am not happy doing something solo whats the use going solo and If I am not happy co-founding whats the use of doing it with a team?
It's a bit too late for that, there is already a precedent set.

Specifically what, lol? How can an "devastating and overwhelming response" on a nuclear state be anything near "the best and most stabilising thing"?

It is as if you imagine that Russia would just sit there and do nothing as you devastate and "overwhelm" it. Srsly?

It weirds me out how some people are still so hard on "watchagonnado" politics, despite everything that had happened last half a year.

It is a matter of power because most people in europe don't care about people saying the english word 'fuck' but we can't see the video either.

Just like it's weird to hear talking about god as a justification for politics, or people self censoring 'nigger' into the 'n word' in a conversation reporting the usage of the word. Or hidding nipples but showing violent death. Or demonetizing videos showing pics of september 11 in a respectful context.

It's power because the american culture is strong enough to impose the view of a subset of communities to the rest of the world.

I would go one step farther and say most ergonomic issues stem from an insensitivity to feel what hurts and/or tenses your body and which motions bring relieve.

I sit in front of computers (much) more than the average person, yet I have never had any complaints at all. Whenever something feels tense I adjust. And this is not just about the hands, it is about the eyes, how you sit etc.

Many people make the mistake of following some ergonomic advice and not listening to their body. Just because one specific pose is recommended does not mean you should force your body into it for hours. Quite the opposite, you should probably find multiple good poses and cycle through them, and stand up or look at far away things once in a while. You should be able to feel where you have the tensions while you are doing it and do the countermotions that help you stretch the muscles that need stretching etc.

Without knowing the financials of this deal it's hard to evaluate the ridiculousness of it.

There's still generations alive that think highly of Bruce Willis, but I gotta imagine for Gen Z and younger he's just another guy in another movie.

When Disney bought James Earl Jones voice for Vader that made 100% sense because Jones is Vader and Vader is Jones. But Bruce Willis? He's been in cool movies but he's nowhere near as important to a franchise as James Earl Jones.

This feels a lot like Hollywood doing something because it can and is afraid of risk.

By far the biggest issue isn't just toxic accounts, but "smurf" accounts. Alternative accounts where players don't want to risk their incredibly high rank so they play on an account they "don't care about". You end up. With top 1% players playing at the median bell curve with average players.

You then end up with one player who can solo an entire enemy team of 6, dominating the game; OR being incredibly toxic to his team for not meeting his expectations and throwing the game.

It takes 1 player per match to ruin it for everyone else. In Overwatch, if 10% of accounts were smurfs, you statistically would have at least one in around half your games.
Players eventually can't progress and make progress to get better because the top 1% of players at 4500 SR gatekeep 2800 SR and above.

That's not really true. The "capacity" such as it is is defined by current technological ability to track the assets and respond to changes quickly.

Population? What?

Since when do nukes target "population" and since when is it a success metrics of a nuclear strike?

Nukes target industrial and economic centers. Both NATO and Russia have enough nukes for at least 1% to bypass missile defense end ensure mutual industrial and economic collapse.

Most of the global population would likely survive, it's just that there won't be any NATO or Russia anymore, just random tribes of survivors.
That would be a reasonable point if there was compelling evidence that technology at this scale ever overcame these biases. It never does. It’s just an empty promise of fealty to technology and advancement. The reality is that more technology continues to reinforce the same power structures.

Then also red-eyes, it's hard to sleep on a plane, so you may get to somewhere in the morning but if you didn't have a full nights rest, what's the point? You're exhausted.
It is. Let's check by two measures:

1. 160k people have bought and recieved FSD Beta at somewhere between $5 and $15k (today's price). Let's say an average of $8k, that means $1.28 billion. More have bought it but are waiting to get access.

2. FSD take rate is estimated as of now to be around 7% of vehicles sold world-wide. At the current price of $15k and the estimated 1.4 million vehicles sold this year, that amounts to $1.47 billion.

Numbers are rough estimates, 50% of revenue is held in reserve until FSD is out of beta, and many haven't received the beta yet, still by any measure they are making and will make billions. What you personally think of the product, or if you think Elon is a "snake oil salesman" is not really relevant.

To strong arm any counter argument, it's possible that all these buyers will realize it actually sucks/doesn't work, sue the company and the whole thing falls apart, but I don't see any indication of it. There are plenty of unhappy and happy customers with FSD, but they've clearly found something that people are willing to pay a lot for and many are happy with it. Clearly it needs to improve much further in order to sell this to the wider public beyond people who think it's fun to babysit an AI.

this is bad news for younger actors. Established actors have their name known and this is compounding throughout their career. Frankly they d overshadow all young actors if it wasn't for the passage of time making them look older and eventually dying. But now they can be immortal.

This is interesting, but it also stands to really weaken actors. If it's anything like the move to streaming platforms, I'd expect to see much lower royalties (if any) for the likeness of a famous actor.

Also, when the studio owns a likeness rather than a performance, I feel this opens the possibility for actors to lose out big time on the roles they can take. Why would Newline hire an actor they already have the license for, ever again?

I'm reminded of the Luddites, who were not anti technology, they just didn't want to lose their positions as skilled, knowledgeable workers when automation entered. Will we see a similar movement of actors losing out as soon as there's enough of a corpus of digital stand ins?
> When you deal with the scale that YT are operating at, automating content moderation is the only cost effective way.

Why?

If youtube had 30 million in revenue, could they afford a couple moderators?

Their revenue is 1000x higher, so can they not afford 1000x as many moderators?

Let's take some ballpark estimates. Half a million videos are uploaded per day (probably accurate), and 10% of them reach a thousand views or are on channels that typically reach a thousand views (probably accurate), and 10% of those need a human moderator (probably way too high). Investigation takes 10 minutes with each moderator doing 40 per work day (just a guess, should be sufficient), and averaging 25 per day over the entire year.

Multiply all those numbers together, and you get an estimate of 200 moderators to handle all videos of any import. For a company with 30 billion dollars in revenue.

Am I super far off on one of those numbers? The fact that it's so hard for medium to large channels to get the attention of a human seems entirely like mismanagement to me, not a real cost issue.
>> An eternal war rages between team “git log should be clean” vs. team “git log should have an accurate history.”

Having a clean commit history makes it easier to utilize commands like git blame and git bisect. I'm not convinced those who want to have an accurate history really understand what they want. For example, if after every single keystroke, I saved the file, added it to the index and ran git commit -F - <(date), then I certainly could have a comprehensive history detailing every single keystroke I made as I edited the code, but the history would not be very useful when looking back on it.

>> Team Clean

>> Methods: git merge --ff-only or git rebase && git merge (extreme clean freaks add the --squash option)

>> Pros: Linear history, git log is easy to read, git revert requires no thought.

>> Cons: You’re erasing history—you can no longer tell if two commits were written together on a single feature branch.

Could the con not be addressed by using the --no-ff even if it's a fast-foward merge? A merge commit in that situation points to the same tree as the HEAD commit of the branch that was merged, but the merge commit also has the information about the base commit and the head commit of the branch, so you know what commits were in the branch even after it's merged.

This comment is needlessly harsh on the article. I read this much more as why not consider the opposite view. One of my frustrations with the advice YC and others seem to give is that it is all hearsay and I don’t believe it needs to be that way. Especially for an organisation that prides itself on being scientifically lead there must be a way to show data around most of their claims. The whole point of the scientific method is trying to prevent people from guessing from their perceived experiences because we so easily fool ourselves into believing without the statistical proof to back it up.

This article is also not purely true, I’m certain there are cofounders that work perfectly together and people who are better at selecting them for themselves. I think the stuff about handling high stress situations is very useful and testing that somehow seems like a good idea. I’m not sure how many difficult situations I’ve had with my best friend to be honest, let alone a stranger.

I find it really surprising that a solo cofounder is more likely to succeed. Can anyone refute or confirm this?
