For any would-be founders who are considering finding a ‘venture studio’ to apply to after reading the post, beware of this:

Lately many dev agencies have been repositioning themselves as ‘venture studios’ as a way of differentiating themselves from the plethora of generic agencies out there.

These agencies don’t develop ideas or de-risk anything (despite their claims). Rather, they will build your idea in exchange for fees and a significant chunk of equity under the guise of being a ‘venture studio.’

They have you ‘apply’ with your idea and then give you a proposal to build it for a mix of cash and equity. In reality it’s just another dev agency under the guise of a hip new ‘venture studio.’

I’ve seen proposals asking for six figures in dev fees upfront plus upwards of 40% in equity. And I’ve seen founders actually take those deals out of desperation to play the startup game.

They often target first time, non-technical founders who have extensive domain expertise and networks, although they also go after younger talent.

One owner of a ‘venture studio’ near me even took a job as an adjunct professor so he could take advantage of early talent with crappy deals before they get their bearings in the real world.

Not to discredit actual venture studios because I think it’s an interesting concept that has shown some success, but just beware of dev agencies trying to capitalize on the cool new thing by simply rebranding themselves as a studio…
I'm aware and I have. It's been helpful, but I tend to get into the habit of checking and messaging friends at random when I feel I feel slightly bored. Secondly, they'll often send me links and Youtube videos that I can't open. I'll likely reinstall it again in specific situations, like when I'm traveling abroad. Thirdly, the battery life on my phone lasts a few days without Signal running in the background. I've had the setup I have for about two months and it's working for me, at least right now.
Yep, YouTube had no real competitors until TikTok came out. Get too comfy, and this is what happens.
Yeah, I've since learned about the metastability issues of that sort of thing and probably could get it to work by doing just that, but I've long put this project to bed.
Like natural intelligence, all AI will be biased. The only question is how it will be biased, not whether.

Show HN: AI analyzes Earnings calls for profit
I have been working on this AI that analyzes earnings report line by line and highlights texts based on the sentiment

Here is a direct link to some of the popular stocks' latest earnings analysed with AI

Meta Platforms [ link in comments ]
Apple, Inc. [ link in comments ]
Tesla, Inc. [ link in comments ]

The green highlights are positive, and the red ones you can see if you scroll are negative statements

I also made a tab on top where you can see, individual statements made on margin, revenue, and growth

Hope you guys find it helpful, I'm always happy to take feedback or any more data you wanna see, please feel to comment and let me know

> That doesn't mean there is no room for "average" researchers.

The "average" researchers are doing disservice themselves, the people funding their research, and actually good researchers.

They are doing disservice themselves, because they would have most likely enjoyed much higher success at some other career or lifestyle. An "average" researcher at age 35 is rather poor, his or her life is rather unstable and precarious, family goals are likely unmet, their scientific output is too mediocre to be a source of pride, and generally they are not very happy. Talk to them and you'll find out.

They are failing the funders, who hoped for quality output, but got worthless crap. Finally, they are failing quality researchers, who more and more eschew academia, and instead enter industry, where they can make >3x times as much money putting less effort into something that's typivally less socially valuable than high quality research.

> This is a binary mindset that ignores the value of the discipline and seems like gatekeeping with no apparent benefit.

The benefit is not wasting lives on worthless activities, and getting more useful research output. I do agree, though, that this is not "apparent", and is often hard to see even in hindsight. If you follow science news, however, you will find many people wondering why science productivity has fallen so much in last 50 years, despite funding being greatly increased in absolute terms. One of the reasons here is that we have many more people doing science that simply shouldn't be involved in it.

> And struggling relative to your peers can happen for many reasons unrelated to core intelligence.

Sure, but so what? If you cannot keep up with your peers during graduate studies, why should anyone expect you to keep up when you're actually expected to produce valuable research? Some people might not be able to keep up, because e.g. they spend half of their time caring for their disabled child. This is not their fault, but for the institutions and (usually) taxpayers who pay them, why should they care? Why wouldn't they prefer to instead employ someone who'll be able to spend more of their energy on research, and produce more valuable output?

Yeah, it means that some people through their bad luck will be denied their dream career, but, again, my point is that life isn't fair, and the research careers are not prizes to be handed out to people who deserve them in some moral sense: they are public service.

There is no concise general answer to that question, especially one that covers many fields.

What you are saying is correct - from grade 1 to phd, the best way to learn is to solve problem (sciences) or create art pieces (arts) etc. As you solve problems, there are a few things I can say about how you can upgrade.

* If you are level N, you should only be learning techniques at level N. If you find that you are struggling even a little bit with level N-1 techniques, adopt an immediate no-nonsense attitude about eliminating those confusions. Eg. I have seen far too many students in my second year(!) differential equation struggling with solving with quadratic equations. This means they have to constantly jump between different levels of abstraction (algebra and differential equations) and that makes the question much harder to get right. A few hours of serious review should eliminate any confusion for something that probably took 2 weeks in high school, and probably give them an entire grade bump in differential equations.

* Figure out the meta-techniques at level N and take-off the training wheels. For instance, in graduate level applied math, you are working with a lot of theorems. Something that needs to become part of your study is generating positive and negative examples of each theorem as soon as you encounter it (something the book/prof did for you in undergrad). Nobody is ever going to teach you this at the grad level, as there is very little a grad prof can say to help you learn such meta-skills. But they will hit you with novel theorems in exams (or you will encounter new theorems in research), and you need to have the skill ready.

* Length of each study session and intensity of your study. In high school, a smart student can watch TV and still learn everything for an exam. A undergrad can listen to engaging music while still thinking about their problem on an assignment. A grad student needs the discipline to sit in a quiet room and fully engage with the problem for several hours. A PhD student might need to think about the problem and only the problem from the second they wake up all the way to when they go to sleep. Andrew Wiles might have to lock himself away for 6 years and immerse his whole life and being into solving Fermat's last theorem.

P.S. Not very happy with my answer. I need to chew on this for a few days or weeks.
Copying into a string is a safe default. Also, proto’s API currently returns string references (and not views) so making a copy is required for open source.

(Although now std::string_view is common, I hear rumors that the proto API might change…)
It depends when you buy vs. when it was first released. The 2014 Mac Mini for example was sold until late 2018 so it's perfectly possible for someone to have bought it Sept. 2018 which means only 3 years of new macOS versions as it didn't get Ventura. I think the model with the best supported OS track record from Apple is still the Mac Plus from 1986 which was supported all the way through 7.5.5 in 1996.
I like them even on newer ThinkPads just as much, and I've used them on an X1 Carbon with a 4K screen (I do use Linux exclusively, so maybe it's different on Windows). One thing I have noticed is that as the trackpads have gotten bigger, hitting it with your palm becomes much easier, despite any software protections against that. I generally disable the touchpad on newer models, something I never have to do on my old trusty T420s.
High net worth spending has a large opportunity cost. Of course some people are employed making yachts, but they could instead be employed in more useful productive enterprises. That is, wealth inequality generates a misallocation of the productive capacity of society. It's perfectly reasonable to oppose that.

But those profits would have been bigger without slavery. Slavery persisted not because it made the south richer overall (it made the south poorer overall) but because it concentrated profits in a handful of political elites. Northern banks and industries, however, would have preferred a richer south with more potential customers.

You can see the non-effect of slavery on overall American wealth by looking at the graph of GDP per capita over time: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/US_Gross_Domestic_Product_(G.... If slavery made America richer, you’d see a drop in GDP per capita after the civil war. But you barely see even a blip.
> Are you saying that these systems are just copying?

Your use of "just" is an issue, IMO. A significant problem of these systems is that they do copy. They do produce clearly derivative works of the data they're trained on. Copilot has been observed reproducing entire files, verbatim, from its training set. That they can be used to produce novel-seeming works is a legitimately interesting conversation to have, but as long as they're reproducing copyrighted works and clear derivatives thereof, that isn't the conversation the lawyers are interested in having.
> If the AI is simply reflecting the data it was trained on and this data is a representative sample of all data, isn’t it unbiased by definition?

No, “data” is just information which has been gathered. “All data” can be biased.

Also, data can itself be bias, even if it isn’t biased. For instance, a text generation model that was based on unbiased collection of all text ever written by humans would, in one sense, produce “unbiased, human-representative text”. It would also reproduce the biases of the authors, weighted by the volume of writing coming from that bias.

> That’s just a convenient excuse for OpenAI (or others like them) to get away with what effectively is censorship of certain ideas or political views.

While one might object to the editorial choices, I can’t see any rational bounds for objecting to the idea that the creator of models would censor “certain ideas or political views” as a generality.

Centuries of political stability before and after the Glorious Revolution (1688) (constraints on the monarchy by parliament and strong political institutions) led to a large merchant and wealthy landowner class. Property rights and unique legal framework (common law) enabled many economic and legal innovations that created the conditions and incentives for industry, and allowed inventors and entrepreneurs to operate and cooperate freely.

Without the unique legal, political, financial frameworks and enlightenment philosophy, the revolution wouldn't have happened in Britain. Technological developments were an emergent property of the fundamental structure of the country at the time.

Open source devs have made many AIs. So, if this was going to happen, it already would have.
I've planned on running the Pixel 2 XL into the ground. I was originally running GrapheneOS but switched to LineageOS after support was dropped. I did look into CalyxOS but I believe support for the Pixel 2 was dropped around the same time that it was dropped by GrapheneOS - likely coinciding when Google stopped releasing security updates.
> Serfdom was rare in the UK by 1400

You're of course only talking about local slavery in the UK. They were among the primary slave traders outside of their home territory. The British Empire and its prominent subjects traded in millions of slaves between 1400 and 1800. Centuries of profit from that slave trade helped fuel investment into industrialization across the UK.

This is a common escape for European apologists of slavery (whether in North or South America). Europe has largely gotten to avoid the consequences of their slave trade (they properly owe many trillions of dollars in reparations). The US history of slavery has nothing on the scale of European slavery - 12+ million slaves across the Americas (and that's merely the first generation number).
Sort of; so did Egypt - but these were more steam devices not engines per se. I think the limiting factor was metallurgy & pressure vessel design before you can do something like Watt did.

Because of that drama, I remember some people (maybe me included, not sure anymore) actually thinking that electrolytic caps just generally had a pretty bad lifetime, and the need for replacement was just reality for products that were expected to last for more than an unreasonably short lifetime.

Only later did I learn that it actually seemed to have been industrial espionage gone wrong! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

That's probably also the reason why so many retro enthusiasts just generally "re-cap" almost everything they touch. In a lot of cases, you just don't need to do that, and sometimes it could be worse to replace capacitors not affected by the capacitor plague: Any factory adjustments made to the device could well depend on the exact characteristics of the capacitors that were present in the device when it was manufactured.

>> I envision a future where individual appliances (including EVs) can opt in to spot pricing for the electricity they consume

When 1,000 devices jump on the grid the moment electricity hits $0.01/kWh, the demand spike will cause more generators to come back on line and increase the price back to $0.05/kWh -- thus causing the 1,000 devices to drop-off the grid.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

How do you compensate for the potential grid instability?

This app sounds disgusting. This just looks like Tinder for children. Note the app was created by "Find Your Crush":

And they're trying to profit off exploiting kids too:
> Can I see who answered a poll about me?
> ... However, for the ones that you're dying to know, you can reveal who sent it by upgrading to God Mode.
> God Mode is a subscription that unlocks these features:
> Two Bonus Reveals — See the full name of someone who voted for you twice

It's an app for children to talk about who of their friends they think is hottest. And course, if these kids give the company a shred of sweet sweet money, they'll even tell you their full name. Without telling the voter.

Children should not be allowed to use the internet.

> Or, simply by virtue of being more intelligent. Life is not fair, and some people do have it easier than others

I'm really not convinced this is the case when reaching higher level education.

My experience is that "being smart" is an advantage for the first years - say up to bachelor - at which point there is no magic: if you don't work, you won't get your exams.

This is in part because most exams will test not only your raw understanding, but also your practical experience at solving quickly/intuitively all the little pieces leading to the solution. And that can only be achieved in time if you're comfortable with this mental gymnastic, which comes with practice.

> If you are pursuing a research career, and you observe other students putting similar amounts of effort, but obtaining much better results, understanding things more quickly and getting better ideas, you should probably just drop out

Come on... I am a firm believer that exams test skill sets that are only partially correlated to being actually good at job X - even if X is fundamental research.
