Trunk is an a16z funded dev tools startup, redefining software development at scale. We aim to flatten the lost productivity curve that software projects suffer as they grow in scale and complexity. When a majority of your engineer's time is not spent on actual engineering, when the tax paid to land a new Pull Request is greater than the time to write the code - it's time for a new approach.
In 2022, we raised a $25M Series A led by Initialized Capital (Garry Tan) and a16z (Peter Levine), with investments from Haystack Ventures, Garage VC, Tom Preston Warner (Founder/CEO of GitHub), Geoff Schmidt (Founder/CEO Apollo GraphQL), Nicolas Dessaigne (Founder/CEO Algolia), and Oleg Rognysky (Founder/CEO Peopl.ai).

Our tech stack Frontend: Typescript, React, Next.js Backend: Typescript, Node, AWS, CDK, k8s, gRPC Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Kiali, Jaeger CLI/Daemon/LSP: C++20, some Rust, Bazel VSCode Extension: Typescript CI/CD: GitHub Actions General: GitHub, Slack, Linear, Slite

We're currently hiring for a Sr C++ Engineer and Full Stack Engineers of all levels. Can work fully remote or in office in SF, unlimited PTO, competitive salary and equity packages! Please apply here: https://trunk.io/jobs

>If minority groups are "in charge", why is most of the wealth, corporate power and political power in the hands of majority groups?

Because there is no one majority group. The only way you get a majority group is by drawing dumb lines around non-adjacent cultural groups because they happen to be of the same economic means or vote the same way.

Yep, Solid is among the fastest but requires more cognitive overhead.

Svelte requires very little over and above HTML and JS while still being closer to Solid in performance than React, Vue, or Angular.

And the latest interactions of React and its ecosystem have both high cognitive overhead AND lackluster speed. At least Angular is opinionated. React is just a YOLO ball of yarn for large codebases.

I guess it all depends what kind of game you're making. The whole point of aoe damage is to hit multiple targets, having game to give option to just say "lol, no, you can't hit many units coz they are spread out automatically" makes the interaction shallower.

Which might be entirely fine if you want to make strategy focused on macro, not micro.

Some games have formations that are compact or spread that player can choose, some, like TW:Warhammer, have some units that are spread and some that are compact (in a game where you control only whole squads) and all of that have different drawbacks, compact ones are good for defending chokepoints, spread ones are harder to aoe etc.
The real world is not a math formula. A trend can just as quickly plateau, spike, or plummet. That's the point, that none of us can predict the next step, regardless how much we think we can.

The fallacy is proclaiming that a specific chain of events will occur due to one action. Can it happen? Sure. Will it happen with 100% certainty? Of course not, so don't pretend like it will, regardless how many datapoints exist.
If you have 8 years of experience, then you've never experienced what hiring is like in a bear market. Buckle up, because it's wildly different than the last 10+ years of "8 job applications, 7 interviews, 6 offers."

During the last two tech downturns, I was sending out ~50-100 resumes a day.

"Google Chrome and ESET collaborate in fight against online threats

As applied in Chrome Cleanup, ESET’s technology is used by Google to alert users about unwanted or potentially harmful software attempting to get on users’ devices through stealth—for example, by being bundled into a download of legitimate software or content. Google Chrome, using ESET’s security technology, then provides users with the option to remove the unwanted software. Chrome Cleanup operates in the background, without visibility or interruptions to the user. It deletes the unwanted software and notifies the user once the cleanup has been successfully completed."

Thing about 60s/70s counterculture is, it didn't become the culture. Rather, its members were recruited by mainstream culture with the promise of wealth and the good life, to betray the values they espoused as youths.

Were Gramsci alive in the 80s, he would be like "See? See? This is EXACTLY what I was talking about!"
I think they meant his background as an investment banker.

Cultural power is different from political and capital power. The influence of an musician, a political candidate, and a wealthy CEO can all be different in their scope, message, and the audience that they reach.

The WASPy power structure is still dominant in the corporate landscape and disproportionately high in the political one. But it has been losing ground on the cultural front for a while now.

There's a reason WASPy individuals complain about "the culture war" - it's the one they are losing. The slogan, "get woke, go broke" suggests they have started losing ground on the corporate front as well.
It’s not hard to imagine a template library or code generator that sits on top of this code layer that’s more approachable to non-technical users.

If done well, that would be an advantage over Zapier since a non-technical user can start something basic, then have a dev look at it if they need to get more sophisticated.

This is what has made Excel and Access so successful—a biz person can get it started and have something tangible to hand off to a dev.

This observation, for me is a rationale for supporting efforts that shift power down. From federal to state, from state to county, from county to local gov, from local gov to individuals.

Public policy discussions that start with the assumption that the only possible solution is for the federal/state/county/local government to dictate policies from above are almost always non-starters for me. The higher up in the hierarchy the more evidence I need to support a solution at that level.

I'm not absolutist on this matter, there are concerns that are best addressed at all those various levels but I prefer to get there through bottom-up policy experimentation and iteration rather than top-down diktats. There are also ample lessons from history about the dangers of expansive government powers.
That just drives home the point that we need clear, universally accepted terminology for when we are referring to mental identity versus physical attributes. I feel like a large part of the disagreement on policies towards transgender people today are manifestations of this ambiguity. Other languages do a better job than English, for certain.
"Even the bankrupt Taliban manages to keep 14k people in their prisons"

Yes, but if they actually jailed all criminals the number would be far higher.

Afghanistan's murder rate is approx 2800 people per year (6.7/100k, population 40 million). Assuming only a 10 year sentence for murder they should have twice as many people in prison -- assuming no other crimes whatsoever, which of course isn't the case.

"They're not opting for executions for the cost savings."

Don't be so sure. I agree with the above commenter - maintaining jails can be prohibitively expensive for undeveloped countries.
I was recently looking for a simpler alternative to Temporal (https://temporal.io/) so this could be ideal. If you could add instructions for self-hosting it (_sounds_ like you just need an Express server, but I would guess some backend persistent store/database/queue too) that would be great. The Webhook catalog only lists Github: I think integrating with Stripe would be neat. Like, when someone pays an invoice, Stripe calls a webhook. That could trigger an action.

The built-in React way of doing that is with context.
It's about a combination of stealth and the sensor/avionics package -- the ability to detect and identify SAM radar systems and launchers, and chart a path which minimizes likelihood of detection, aided by the aircraft's low radar signature, while enabling strike operations to take place. If you're arguing that the F-35 is not invisible, then you're attacking a strawman.

The F-117 was central to SEAD operations during Desert Storm, and the F-35 is regarded as the most credible SEAD platform in the USAF inventory today.

I can't say with 100% certainty but I don't think our brains turn words into numbers and perform math calculations equations to make images. It's a bit of a cop out saying "we don't know how the brain works". If you apply the same analogy to ChatGPT we don't use math calculations to write words. If anything GPUs are not using shortcut, they use brute computation, to get to what our brains perceive as similar.

Piracy lawsuits won constantly, enough to push all piracy to the dark web. They even sued little old grandmas and won. No legitimate business today is built on top of piracy.

I'm not arguing that generative art will cease to exist, I'm just arguing that the path to legal revenue will involve paying copyright holders; and the real gold in this industry is in licensing training datasets to businesses that just want 'AI Magic' in their product marketing.
Two possible reasons, off the top of my head.

First, it probably wouldn't work. Stable Diffusion is going to be a lot better at telling whether two images are the same than a perceptual hash check. E.g. I bet if you removed all pictures of the Mona Lisa from the training data, it could still produce a pixel perfect copy of it, just from the many times it appeared in the background of pictures, or under weird adjustments or lighting that fooled the perceptual hash.

Second, I would guess they wanted common images to appear in the training data more than once. It should be trained on the Mona Lisa more than someone's snapchat of their dinner. Common images are more salient.

Reminds me of asking Chat-GPT for an obfuscated C contest entry. It produced one verbatim, though it couldn't explain what it did (it looked like syntactic nonsense, but it printed the Twelve Days of Christmas when run). I can only imagine it saw that inscrutable sequence of characters enough times that it memorized it.

Saw a tweet recently where someone took a long-winded recipe from a website, posted it to ChatGPT and asked ChatGPT to play it back, taking out all the fluff and making it succinct. Result was perfect, just an ingredients list and simple instructions, no mistakes.
That's a big leap of inference without projecting bigotry on others.

Well we’re in luck! The human artist is the person who is coming up with the prompt and then deciding what to do with the resulting image based on their own ethics. Stable Diffusion is just a tool for artists, not a “computer artist”.

Funny enough, this notion in terms of liability pairs very well with our legal system!

Even funnier, this notion in terms of authorship pairs very well with modern and contemporary art theory!

And here’s some very relevant precedent in both a legal and artistic sense:

Despite the number of letters increasing, it's still a minority. Additionally, the rate of popularity is slowing.

I am still on the fence whether or not this is a left-handedness situation. (The number of people who are left-handed sharply increased within 1-2 generations once we stopped beating children for primarily using their left hands. But this was generally not considered a social contagion or some grooming behavior from left-handed teachers or something.) If it is, then we should see identification level out within a generation or two.
To expand on this, in a democracy-ish country law pretty much ALWAYS lags the cultural reality because legislatures basically never speculatively do things when it comes to cultural issues, they wait for enough people to want something for it to be an issue worth of the political platform. You might get some extremists pushing the envelope by catering to an extreme minority but even then they won't really be far out in front of the pack.
Gatsby is dead weight. Likely an acquihire.
"Static" here doesn't mean "UI doesn't change", it means "files served don't change". You build and ship static HTML for initial load, plus client-side React code that takes over from there. The awesome thing about these frameworks is that you don't have to write a separate templating language for the static HTML, and then keep it in sync with the client-side React. You write everything with the same React code, and the decision of when to render which parts becomes a totally independent decision. In my experience this is a really productive workflow

Oh I see no problems that could arise from this. I sincerely hope that those who proposed this have only good intentions but alas I fear they heard about China and decided they wanted to get in on the action.

We have an entire population of people who have demonstrated they're not good at making choices. They're now confined with a greatly curtailed set of rights. They're in a high stress, often violent environment and largely dehumanized. Some of these environments border on torturous.

Now considering all that, when you dangle this carrot of getting out sooner do you thing they're capable of making a rational decision? I'm sure a few are and those would be the ones who decline doing this.
It still does!
Solid.js is even faster than inferno, and it doesn't really use a VDOM strategy, uses a strategy much more like svelte. IMO svelte is just poorly implemented from a benchmark perspective.

In reality, most of these benchmarks are not meaningful when talking about real app performance. What's meaningful is how you do global state updates in your app. If you use a react app with react-hook based context providers that unnecessarily update hundreds of components on simple changes, you perf is going to suck. If you use a react app and don't use React.memo anywhere, perf is going to suck. If you use react very carefully and are fully aware of when the vDOM is going to run and use small components that only update when their data actually changes, and ideally avoid running vDOM 60 - 120fps a second for animations, performance is going to be good.

I like Solid.js because it does all this for you by nature of just using the framework. Svelte does some of this for you so for real world apps performance is likely to better than react, but it doesn't do it as well as Solid by nature of it's state management strategy, not by nature of it's DOM update strategy.

The less you update, the faster your app will be. Then the DOM diffing strategy doesn't matter.
