A slide is not a text transcript. Revealing one bullet at a time assumes the atomic element in a presentation is the bullet. I think it's the slide, which is often an image or a diagram. You earn the audience's attention for the next slide by what you have said for the last. In addition, a TED talk is not a good model for an effective briefing. An effective presentation is interactive and allows for questions to affect the flow. This is especially true for sales presentations, but any presentation where you are trying to move an audience to action.
Interesting magic word. My prompts were often full of 'masterpiece' or 'octane render' (which improves 3D consistency).

With regard to your main point, I generated more than a thousand images trough various models, and yes good results such as these posted on social media are very rare. And people definitely spend lots of time to adjust things with inpainting and other tricks, in a way that I would find infuriating. For the effort it takes I would rather just redraw it. It depends on the styles; with brushstrokes you can hide a lot, with cartoon lineart is crucial so fixing requires more work.

Sure, I'll ask my wife to quit her job even though her income is the only one we have right now, I'll explain to my children that they'll have to leave school and never see their friends again, we'll say goodbye to all of our family and friends, we'll leave our entire support network, and we'll spend a lot of money to move to a country halfway across the world where none of us speak the language and we don't know anyone because this week Berlin happens to have more open job postings on LinkedIn than San Francisco.

I think the time is right to revamp a basic shell. Something that generalizes pipes to async DAGs. The idea floats in the air between reactive objects graph in a browser or systemd services, docker composer ..

It would reseat the base os user interaction to something cleaner and leaner IMO.
A good friend of mine spent his life being pretty frugal. Saved up a nice chunk of change, too -- his wife is also a software developer, they both made good money. Got cancer early last year and was dead 10 months later. 55 years old. Ugh.

Not saying you should run out and spend your nest egg. On the other hand, I'd be reluctant to suffer too much during my prime working years scrimping and saving for a retirement that might actually not happen. I'd rather have jobs I really enjoy, and frankly, if I enjoy the work well enough why would I retire? Just take longer and longer vacations and work part time. So I'm willing to use a bit of my saved up funds when necessary to get out of a work environment that is unpleasant.

Ask HN: Where to research on what B2B apps to build?
I'm been in software industry for just 10 years. Ideas are very limited. It's mostly marketing heavy needs; tools for helping flooding social media feeds. And analytics, site builders, cms, docs generators, api testing, little CRM, etc.

I think that's it. All are very saturated (I know .. 10 years ago people also said that).

Tech-enabled business seems to want websites, cms mostly which has plenty of off-shelf. Niche markets, most of the time, are too niche. Not worth building apps for.

"Yet another x is still good if that market is huge" .. doesn't sound good to me, because at some point it's just not good.

Thanks.

Again, you fail to understand that the number of a machines that find a block could be changed by making the blocks smaller. You could do that by also reducing block size to keep the total number of transactions the same. But the larger point is that mining pools make it so that mining machines are paid for partial work, even without finding a block. This enables the utility of mining to be measured by hash rate, rather than by number of blocks solved.

You called it a gray goo style positive feedback loop. It is not, there is a upper bound on how much will be spent. There is no feedback loop as well, if the price goes up, more will be spent on mining, but that does not feedback to make the price go higher as required for a loop. Moreover, the block reward is exponentially decaying.

Your reading of the tweet is that a person saying a system should use less CO2 implies that person believes the system is unsustainable. I don't think that is reasonable, e.g. an Airline CEO launching an initiative to reduce the airlines CO2 usage would not believe that the airline is unsustainable. I did misread the other part of your statement-- you said bitcoin is ridiculous, not that Hal said that.
This seems reasonable as the US Navy likely hadn't bough licenses for $155 mil, but had negotiated or accepted other use patterns than en-masse installation.

Importantly, this should also be seen as precedence for private piracy and that people with thousands of movies on their harddrives naturally aren't liable for the sum of their retail price.
This is very impressive and difficult to maintain in London. Rent for a "double" room - meaning a room in a flat/apartment or house that fits a US full or European double bed is like 900/month right now. Spending only 1200/month is very difficult to achieve. I have no idea how this is feasible. To add to rent, local stores are usually more expensive than the supermarkets.

Maybe you ought to make a masterclass on this topic.

What you are describing is just normal heating, not superheating.

"Superheating" means to heat something beyond the point of phase transition without it changing phase. Superheating would be heating water beyond 100 degree celsius.

If it's steam, you can't superheat it any more, you just heat it. You are correct that there is no limit how much you can heat steam.
> If I/O was the bottleneck, parallelizing it won't help, your SSD/network link/database won't get magically faster.

Of course it will. Near every serious DB will allow to work on multiple requests in parallel and unless the DB itself is on something that's slow you will get data faster from 2 parallel requests than from serializing them

NVMe SSDs in particular can easily fill what single thread can read, just run fio with single vs parallel threads to see that.

> If you're writing to files, most of the time the parallism will be hard to implement correctly. SQLite doesn't support parallel writes for example.

That's just one random example. If all you do is "read data, parse ,write data" in some batch job you can have massive parallelism. Sharding is also easy way to fill up the IO.
How the mighty have fallen eh
I took ~1.5 years off after 12+ years of FAANG. 1 month ago, I decided I was ready to work again and started talking to recruiters for real. It's been very slow. Most positions I've applied to, I've heard nothing back, even when referred by a current employee. I've had some flat rejections without even a recruiter chat. One recruiter called me to say they were on a temporary hiring freeze, and then she got laid off.

I've had a handful of tech screen interviews, but only one* has progressed all the way to a full interview loop so far, and I got a generic rejection a few days later. I have been waiting 2.5 weeks and counting for a phone screen result from another (larger, public) tech company. Nothing close to an offer yet.

I'm considering just taking more time off until things speed up again - I can afford it, but I worry about how hard it will be to get hired again with a "long" gap of 2+ years.

Most of non-tech people consider Excel as the ideal software. But they also know limitation of Excel, too (lack of data validation, complicated business logic, permission system, concurrent update,...)

> with process for turning source to binary, you need to trust compiler, cpu, flashing hardware and software and the whole lot of other things.

"We should not solve this solvable problem because other problems exist" is false.

Meanwhile the other problems have solutions, like reproducible builds, so that the attacker not only has to compromise your compiler/CPU/hardware, they also have to compromise any others the output result gets compared by, or one of them will differ and the attack will be detected.

There's a huge taboo in the United States against explicitly pointing out the economic agendas behind foreign wars. You can go up on a soapbox and talk about 'humanitarian concerns and defending democracy abroad' (typical neoliberal-Democratic drivel) or 'patriotism, national security and fighting terror' (typical neocon-Republican drivel), but noting that war is a huge profit center for various interests, that's not really allowed.

For example, the Iraq War really was related to oil - Saddam had no WMDs, no ties with Al Qaeda, but he was moving his oil money out of the petrodollar recycling system, which was a huge threat to global dollar hegemony and the balance-of-payements issue (see capital accounts vs. current accounts). Plus, it was a huge cash cow for government contracts and the military procurement system, which always gets hungry during peacetime. GW Bush and the neocons of course sold this in their preferred manner.

The same thing happened with Libya and Syria, only now it was the other set of talking points - although again, Qaddafi was promoting pan-African unity, an alternative currency, independence from Europe and the USA on oil sales, closer ties to Russia and China, etc. Assad backed out of a Saudi-USA-Israeli pipeline deal in 2009 and went for the Russia-Iran pipeline instead (plus lots of electricity integration with Iran), so Obama signed off on the CIA overthrow/regime change directive. If you want more strong evidence that their 'humanitarian democractic' rhetoric was nonsense, look at how they treated the pro-democracy protests in Bahrain (crushed by Saudi tanks) or the Saudi assault on Yemen.

It's all pretty farcical. Just admit that maintaining a global financial empire is pretty difficult without engaging in covert regime change and military dominance, already. Stop pretending it's about self-defense or good works - I mean Ukraine is all about control of natural gas sales to Europe, plus another multi-billion injection into the domestic weapons manufacturing complex.
"Freedom to roam" laws are an archaic notion that only sort of work in very specific locations like the Nordic countries.

Even with a large staff of park rangers and a budget for trail maintenance, trash bins, toilet facilities and informational signs about "leave no trace" ethics, it's still hard to minimize the damage tourists do in parks. And even within parks, we don't let people freely roam, we ask them to stay to trails to prevent erosion and we shut down areas seasonally to protect critical nesting, feeding or migration paths. To ask private citizens to deal with such damage to their property is unfair and unreasonable.

Further, the average city dweller has no ability to assess what land is safe for them to hike on in America. Again, for parks we have dedicated staff to put up signs and set clear rules about closures and access, but agricultural lands are far more complex. What looks like "unused" land may be grazing for cattle, flowers for bees or habit for wildlife (whether for conservation or hunting). It may have been recently sprayed with chemicals which are harmful if humans come into contact with them or it may have recently been planted and footsteps will trample early crops.

"Freedom to roam" is like suggesting that the solution to homelessness is to just let homeless people choose to sleep on anyone's couch who wasn't using it. The millions of acres of managed public lands in the US, which can have appropriate usage policies depending on environmental impact, historical significance, number of visitors, etc and which can be properly managed for the long-term balance of many diverse stakeholders needs is a far better system.

I think the reality is that anyone might engage in these behaviors from time to time. I've seen myself doing some of these things in my weaker moments and I've seen others doing them. And I've seen those same people turn around and contribute positively on other days. Of course no one is going to categorize themselves as highly overrated. Maybe that's because people often don't reliably fit into specific categories.
Not being able to talk about jury nullification does not mean all judges are crooks.

The reason people try to discourage “jury nullification” is because if a law is unjust, it should be removed, not be in place for certain juries to give _some_ people passes.

The law should be the law. If you allow juries to decide to give “innocent” verdicts even if someone broke it, then congrats you have made a system where the jury gets to decide randomly if they want to enforce something.

People assume it's easier for more senior people to get offers, but it's actually the opposite. The more senior you get, the longer it can take to get a new job.

You are much more expensive, so companies are extra cautious hiring you. And it's just common sense that there is an order of magnitude fewer managers than there are individual contributors. And many (most?) companies have a bias to promoting internally.
The cloud costs really are between "unreasonable" and "very unreasonable". The only time when it gets cheaper is if workload would be so spiky we coul'dve turned most of it off for 2/3 of the day but most of what we have is many smaller projects that don't even have enough traffic to even need scaling and the big ones, well, can't scale database size down off-peak...

Over last ~6 years we did "is it worth going to cloud" calculation few times and it was always ridiculously more expensive.
I might believe that to some extent except that not all development jobs lend themselves equally to cranking out commits. Sure, if you're working on a well defined feature with all dependencies already built, you can really crank stuff out. However, those also tend to be the easiest jobs filled by junior developers. Solving the less well understood/defined problems often generated fewer commits per day but often generates more value.
> has been on americas shitlist ever since they beat US telcos to market with 5g

Serious question, have the the likes of Ericsson and Nokia managed to catch up with Huawei when it comes to 5G telco equipment?

Last I dived into this was about 2-3 years ago, when that Huawei executive got arrested in Canada or some such, and if I remember right the discourse back then was that Huawei's 5G equipment was both cheaper and better compared to what the Western companies were able to provide at the time.

Not so. The crashes only significantly affect people holding significant amounts of the currency, i.e. speculators. Ordinary people continue to hold the bulk of their assets in US dollars in banks (or shares of the S&P 500 or real estate or some other non-crypto thing).

We're hiring, but very slowly/carefully atm (https://getstream.io/team/). It's insane, similar companies to us used to raise $100-$200M with our metrics, at the moment i'm not even trying to raise additional capital. On the other hands it's nice that there is less hype and you can just focus on building and real progress.
I recursively generated a Hilbert curve, stuck four together for a Moore curve, then did a FFT (to generate the function pair θ -> {x, y}).

Then I drew it using a filthy decompilation of some (java) image editing crap that I knocked up in uni.

I spat all of the images out to a directory (saving buffered images as PNG files) and glued them together with ffmpeg.

I'm not 100% happy with the Moore Curve, since I think that under the circumstances rotational symmetry would be more useful.

I'm also not happy with the fourier transform; I think that for something like this there should be an adequate expression for n points using log(n)/log(2) terms, but the transform that I used includes one term in the output for each in the input.

There might be a degree of something similar to "overfitting" in the result.
I actually think the higher price is an asset, not a liability (unless you can't afford it, of course). It means they have a business model that doesn't require a huge mass market to survive, so they won't go broke or get acquired and watered down by some big company.
