Get one client. Do an amazing job. Use that to tell other clients what you do.

Be specific. Most people outside tech have no idea how it works. Tell them what they will get.

Increased sales, reduced costs, better productivity. Whatever it is you do, forget about the tech and talk about the benefits.

Get your elevator pitch right. Mine is "I help businesses fix their procedures". People then say "You know, I could introduce you to my friend...."

This role's been open for a while, probably just recruiting getting re-organized after being cut to the bone.
Don't forget the larger companies who'll try to negotiate Net 90, one month in arrears, in which they'd still probably feel they had another 2 weeks of wiggle room. Companies try that. With me it ends up Net 30 as usual when we edit the service agreement, but lordy do they TRY that.

Which is why you need airtight service agreements, and then the willingness to follow up on them. Obligatory video, "Fuck You, Pay Me": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U]

I only ever had two customers (out of > 200) not pay in about 15 years. One got a lawyer letter and paid up. The other (new customer, and one I was warned to be wary of) I actually dragged to district court to receive a judgement. They then still wouldn't pay. I figured there was no one there I'd ever see again in my career... so I sent the sheriff. They wired payment within hours.

Honest question: if constructors have these pitfalls, and using a different design pattern fixes the issue, why have constructors at all? Couldn't the whole issue just be avoided by just having a basic, implicit constructor and then just letting people use static methods on top of this?
> That statement is incorrect, the logic is flawed. Just because a tool has both legal and illegal uses does not necessarily have any bearing whatsoever on whether the tool’s distribution is legal. Tools that are illegal to distribute can have legal uses, and that does not make them legal to distribute.

Making statements and assuming the truth without reason nor evidence nor examples to back it up. Logical fallacy of begging the question. You have also not reasoned how freely available information is “illegal” to read/index/store amongst other things.

Real world benchmarks and big O measure different things, so one is not a substitute for another.

Real world benchmarks don't just measure the algorithm, they also measure the implementation. By comparing big O, you can compare algorithms directly instead of comparing implementations of the algorithms.

Big O doesn't take into account constant factors, the time variability of CPU operations (e.g. cache hit vs cache miss), implementation details, or that all useful input sizes might be small. This means that even though an algorithm might have a better big O, it might actually be worse than other algorithms for practical size inputs.

Creating an algorithm with a better big O is a mathematical breakthrough, but it's not proof that it's going to be practical in the foreseeable future. If you want to additionally prove that, you need real-world benchmarks. So real-world benchmarks would be useful here for some people. It might not be useful for the authors though if their goal is just to prove algorithmic superiority rather than real-world superiority. Creating a real-world benchmark also has the problem that existing implementations have likely been tuned with microoptimizations for years, and the new algorithm's implementation won't have been, leading to an unfair comparison. Your example of 10ms vs 9ms is such a small difference that microoptimizations would matter much more than it.

"It pioneered many features that would become common in languages from the 1960s into the 1980s, including use of line numbers as both editing instructions and targets for branches, statements predicated by boolean decisions, and a built-in source-code editor that can perform instructions in direct or immediate mode, what they termed a conversational user interface."
The thing is the curse is only for the loser. The winner can change the document at will. For instance,for hundreds of years, christians lived and died thinking that the book of revelations was not part of the canon, only added 397 ad. The winner gets to say, it was always apart of the canon, you just didn't know it. Similarly, books like Shepherd of Hermas, was considered by many to be part of the canon, but later removed. No curses for either.
Having a globally unique address does not imply having no firewalls.

This paragraph from RFC7934 really sums it up much better than I can:

> Indeed, it could be argued that the main reason for deploying IPv6, instead of continuing to scale the Internet using only IPv4 and large-scale NAT44, is because doing so can provide all the hosts on the planet with end-to-end connectivity that is constrained not by accidental technical limitations, but only by intentional security policies.
The scale is different. Setting something on fire is a localised event, typically dealt with by local and/or state authorities. Taking out parts of the grid (remembering that grids are interconnected) is a state and potentially inter-state affair, and it is reasonable for state and/or national authorities to get involved.

As another commenter noted, such investigations are not mutually exclusive. They can (and should) both happen.
Have a read of this classic post by patio11:

I can testify as to the troubles that flow from doing work for discounts or gratis; I'm currently four years into a client relationship where I started out by helping them out of a desperate situation with a cut-price block of work, then they've continued to build their business on the basis that I (or other consultants) can keep providing ongoing work at comparable cut-price rates. Any time we try and explain that they need to increase their budgets if they want to keep funding further enhancements work, they protest that they're a non-profit with very limited budgets - they just can't accept that it costs big dollars to do this kind of work on an ongoing basis. It's just super-hard to adjust the expectation once the client has locked in an idea of what the work is "worth".
I have long considered this, but of course, the big question is "How do you land your first testimonial-worthy client?".

I'm not particularly inclined to do pro bono work in exchange for raising my profile (unless that work is of such a high profile that it would drive large numbers of CEOs to my door! This is very unlikely for the gigs I have seen).

Why are you talking about AI?

This was about the humans consuming other people's content.

> Humans are constantly ingesting gobs of "copyrighted" insights that they eventually remix into their own creations without necessarily reimbursing the original source(s) of their creativity.

If humans make stuff that is too close to someone else's source materials then it is considered plagiarism and not "inspired by".

> For any image that the AI generates, you can't point to any image in the training data that the image is derived from.

Why can't you point to the Getty Images watermark that it is quite happy to reproduce? Isn't that surely evidence that it doesn't actually understand what it is reproducing?

> The AI is trained on 5 billion images yet it stores only 4gb of data. Thus it is impossible that it stores the actual work.

I have also seen billions of images, therefore I cannot be actually store the real images in my head and thus nothing I paint could ever be considered plagiarism. That's brilliant, I think there are a few law firms defending artists who would be looking to hire you.

My experience with ML tools like co-pilot is why I reject copyright claims on ML systems. there are a tool that generated original work based on my instructions not unlike a paintbrush, photoshop, or a CNC machine. My instructions were based on my exposure to copyrighted works.

I use co-pilot as an accessibility device enabling me to write code again. like with speech recognition co-pilot is a force multiplier IF you change how you work. If you keep using the habits formed by typing, you will get shit results.

The end result of the shift in how I work is now I know how to tell co-pilot how to write code in my style. My co-pilot generated code is no less my code than what I generate by hand. Co-pilot acts as an extension of my brain, not my fingers.

Is my co-pilot generated code copyrightable? I say yes because it is the result of this human's creation and instruction.
It makes a lot of sense that these paleovalleys help get water into the ground quickly. But I am having trouble making the connection that they are automatically helping to get water into aquifers any faster or more efficiently. They are saying that millions of years ago, these valleys were carved into rock when the sea level was lower. Presumably, these valleys helped channel water out to sea? So how do we know that they aren’t doing exactly that right now, just underground and out of sight?
EV batteries don't actually contain rare-earth metals (but fuel-cells and catalytic converters in ICE cars do). Some types of electric motors use them (in the permanent magnets), which is where a lot of the confusion probably comes from.

Understand that the United States of America arose out of resentment for British governance and thus governance in general. Our literal essence is to distrust and hate all governments.

The US federal and state governments exist strictly at the pleasure of the people and it's written in our Declaration of Independence that we can and will get rid of them all at a moment's notice if they stop enjoying the people's pleasure.

That the Articles of Confederation got canned was a demonstration of the people's power to get rid of government that failed to garner pleasure.

Stuff like our Bill of Rights exist because, yes, we fucking distrust and hate our government so much we felt a need to codify our resentment.

Later calculators (the HP 42 and 48 lines) would basically accommodate either mode of operation. You can perform a calculation immediately without pressing ENTER to put it on the stack, or you could put it on the stack with ENTER first and it'll still do the same thing when you press an operator key.

I use an HP 48G+ frequently and I pretty much do both styles without any obvious rhyme or reason from my viewpoint. I just sometimes do one or the other.

I probably confused matters with my undefined expression "actual numbers".
e and pi are as actual as i or 0.

I think Turing introduced "computable numbers" which are a lot like the reals, but countable. You can write a program that produces each. So it includes integers, rationals, polynomic irrationals, and lots of transcendentals. But the set any particular person (or computer) operates on over the course of their existence is not just countable, but finite and not very large. You have to have expressed a representation of each in it at least once. We can only express a small number of numbers over the course of a life. Computers can do more of them. You might claim all those that programs you wrote have expressed.

And, of course, the number has to have finite expression. Representing pi as a summation is finite. But presenting a numerical computation involving it has to be an approximation if it ever to finish.

Sorting is an algorithm that organizes content. Auto-moderation is an algorithm that editorially curates content.

The conversation is about Section 230, which is ruling on whether companies can be held liable for editorial curation algorithms.

One question before the court, at least from the perspective of Reddit's brief, is whether voters whose input influences an editorial curation algorithm could be held liable and sued with enough merit to warrant a defense if Section 230 is removed.

@jedberg's point, at least in my reading, is that the r/law poster is equating the "hot" list with an editorial curation ("recommendation") algorithm, when the "hot" list is a content-neutral sorting algorithm.

Sorting is technically an algorithm, so saying "but sorting is an algorithm" is the best kind of correct. It's just not a very valuable correctness for this conversation.

First off, this is in huge bold letters at the top of the second link that you cite as evidence for a "cure" to diabetes:

> We don’t call it diabetes reversal, because this might sound like it's permanent, and there’s no guarantee that your diabetes has gone forever.

Second, starting with diet/exercise before medicines is already medical standard of care for mild diabetes [1, 2]:

> 8.5 Individuals with diabetes and overweight or obesity may benefit from modest or larger magnitudes of weight loss. Relatively small weight loss (approximately 3–7% of baseline weight) improves glycemia and other intermediate cardiovascular risk factors. Larger, sustained weight losses (>10%) usually confer greater benefits, including disease-modifying effects and possible remission of type 2 diabetes, and may improve long-term cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. 8.12 Short-term nutrition intervention using structured, very-low-calorie meals (800–1,000 kcal/day) may be prescribed for carefully selected individuals by trained practitioners in medical settings with close monitoring. Long-term, comprehensive weight maintenance strategies and counseling should be integrated to maintain weight loss.

Many doctors will stop diabetes medications if patients can sustain a hemoglobin A1c < 6.5%. People with a new diagnosis of diabetes often have a hemoglobin A1c in the high 6% to low 7% range, and for them diet alone is often enough to get there. For a new diagnosis with a hemoglobin A1c in that mild range, any doctor worth their salt will recommend a trial of diet and exercise for 3 - 6 months and start medications only if the patient's hemoglobin A1c has not shown much improvement.

But there are also people with hemoglobin A1cs greater than 10. These people have blood sugar levels that are dangerously high. Waiting 3 to 6 months for diet/exercise before starting medications would leave them at significantly increased risk of risk of lethal com[plications like DKA [3].

Very heavy calorie restriction is also not an option for these people because they have a blunted beta-adrenergic response, which means that unlike you and me, they do not release stores of glycogen from their liver when their blood sugar drops low. Which means that if they don't get enough calories for 1 - 2 days, their blood sugar will drop critically low. We see this in the hospital all the time.

So it's not just a matter of doctors throwing insulin and other expensive medications at everyone who walks through the door in diabetes. There is a broad spectrum of severity in diabetes, and different points on the spectrum require different approaches.

It’s possible my case was a bit unique in how obvious it was. I was specifically looking to find a small local shop or independent contractor just to do a walk through/consult on expanding the bare bones hvac setup in the basement for finishing. I was doing the work myself but wanted expert input so I could try to avoid the common problem in cold climates of basement living spaces being significantly colder than the rest of the house.

Independent contractors are easy. Many are just listed under their names, and even if they use a business name, their business number is almost always just the cell phone. When you call they’ll either not answer and you have to leave a voicemail to get a call back, or if they do answer, they’ll pick up with something like “this is <insert name>”. So for them you don’t even need to ask anything.

When calling a number that is supposedly a small shop, I found that when I told them what I was wanting and asked “is that something you would do?”, the fake ones would immediately say yes. The legit places would ask follow up questions, or if it was an office worker, they would have one of their techs call me back.
