> I note that, aside from your wife, as an entrepreneur it is a bad idea to have partners, rather than employees, and it is a terrible idea to have equal partners. Somebody must rule. Very occasionally two partners can operate a business successfully if each has a separate and clearly-defined role. I have never seen a single instance where three partners could work together; in the many examples I have seen, invariably one of the three, and often two of the three, does no work at all, but he most definitely convinces himself that he invaluable, because he provides some impossible-to-specify intangible, worthy of a high salary and an equal equity portion, and in fact should receive maximum honors. Avoid this by never having partners.

> As I mentioned in my Rise & Grind discussion, I cut ethical corners, too. Shhhhhh. I bought crucial lab equipment a former employee haunting the auction privately sold me for cash in a dark corner. I didn’t ask where he had got the equipment, or why it was so cheap. When the fillhead, the most essential piece of equipment, for which I bid $14,400, was charged to me as $1,440, I said nothing. After the auction, I noticed that all the business records of the defunct business, including formulas, financial statements, and the like, had been thrown into a dumpster. I went to the bank’s man running the winddown and asked if I could have the documents. He said no. So I went and took them all anyway, and they were invaluable in understanding the business.
probably. But you can make it sufficiently hard: If you force the bacteria to make sufficiently large jumps in mutation to escape whatever antimicrobial you design, odds are that you force it into something either incompatible with life or make it have tradeoffs that make it easier to fight against with new drugs.
> I've read that 4% of Americans believe they could win a fight with a Grizzly bear.

14% believe they could win a fight with a Kangaroo. 8% with a Gorilla, an Elephant or a Lion, and for the Grizzly bear, it's actually 6%.
While I agree it came out at the right time, I don't think it was faster-paced and more forgiving than the the next most popular BR Fortnite. But yes it is compared to PUBG and Tarkov. Fortite is also probably as "fun" gunplay as you can get in comparison.

In my opinion, the only reason Warzone was/is popular was because it is the COD version of Battle Royale, that most gamers wanted to see since many of us played COD growing up.

I found it okay, but it felt like a rehashed COD on a larger map.

I am a Fortnite fanboy since its inception and what keeps me around is the constant change of the map either throughout the seasons or the complete map changes every chapter. Warzone suffers because it becomes too repetitive.
I'm not familiar enough with AI workflows to weigh in on how easy or hard it would be. I've just noticed that it's much easier to describe why something is not what you want than describing what you want.

So if AI can give us a mockup that's workable enough to skip the first few iterations of "no that's not what I want" and get right to the part where the engineer is asking questions about the edge cases that weren't explicit in the requirements... That's a win.

I imagine you'd still want to have it in a box of some sort re: creating infra. Like you give it a very small cluster and probably make the stack decisions "write me a postgres schema for... write a fastapi API for the schema... write a react UI for the API... write me a k8s operator that up/down's the above components... Workshop the idea with other product people...

...and only then involve the engineer like: "make this AI-generated house of cards into a fortress".
> We got our "deal" when buying just a single server and have since bought many more with the same provider. We didn't spend 7 figures all at once, we did it piece-meal over time. There is nothing stopping you from getting much better prices.

If it is as easy as you make it sound, why would you not just share the vendor name? I personally would love an 8xH100 machine for transformer experiments, but $100k+ pricing makes it a non-starter.
So you just have a lot of time on your hands
I would guess, it really depends how far you go.

Protection money for running a small mom&pop shop selling kebab or souvenirs for tourists is probably less than the protection money you pay for the same kinds of businesses to the government in Germany (percentage wise).

But the more you want to scale the business and try to deal with higher and higher strata of gangs (all the way up to the national level), the more expensive it gets. And unpredictable.

So my theory is - it is easy to start a micro-business in a corrupt environment, but it is hard to scale it.

This is where a decent Scrum Master or Agile Coach makes such a massive difference... I've seen what you're describing so many times and it's a simple fix to get people to stop focusing on what they've done and to instead focus on what the team needs to do (ie focus on work not yet complete for the team and not what on the individual has done/will do)
Temporary housing for the residents most directly in harms way. Low interest loans for people needing to relocate permanently.

It's certainly a reduction because, until very recently, Amazon had a maximum salary number that was quite low. Therefore, stock was used to achieve parity with market rates. However the stock was issued under the assumption that it would mostly hold its value, which has been untrue for the past year.

This is no different from GS and other finance companies paying out a large chunk of the compensation in 'bonuses'. If they decide to cut the 'bonuses', employees no longer have market parity and it's effectively a pay cut for them.

Of course people should be cautious about picking companies that structure compensation this way, but the expectation that has built up over the years is that the stock is as good as actual cash. Perhaps that expectation will be reset as a result of these mass layoffs at these companies.

I have a content-based classifier that struggles to learn that I don't want to hear about Arsenal, Chelsea and all that but that I am interested in the NFL and some other sports, not to mention expansion of women's soccer.

It might make me fall in love with the game, however, because I have seen how relegation is a high stakes event for teams and the fans

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/18/everton-lee...

Similarly promotion is an event better than your team winning the Superbowl.

MLS in the US, however, is like the NFL in that it has no relegation. Certainly some NFL games are badly mismatched and frequently I wind up wearing Giants gear towards the end of the season because the Giants fans I know don't want to be seen in public with it.

I used this in my Anki deck for John Heisig's Remembering the Kanji. The stroke ordering was helpful and it was animated with CSS. It's been a while, so I can't remember who to give credit to for the RTK deck or the CSS animations.

I also built a little tool that would expand out the Kanji character into its constituent radicals and Heisig primitives so I could at them to my study code.

At that time, I was reading NHK Web News Easy on a regular basis and wanted to study those characters with Heisig's visual approach.

Right on schedule here we have exactly that I predicted. Government is good, they just did not have enough power to stop the evil capitalism... because the evil capitalism forced other parts of the government to stip the good parts of the government of power...

Responses like that should be laughable but far too many people believe that narrative. Never mind that rail is one of the most heavily regulated industries, and even if more regulation was passed the next disaster will be again "well there is still not enough regulation" because again government is measured by intention not results

There is never "enough" regulation, there is never "enough" power transferred to government, and it could never ever be that government failed in their duty to enforce existing regulations, or failed to use their existing power. No it is always evil capitalism corrupting the pure government preventing the noble public servants from protecting us all...

Never mind that the regulation that everyone talks about (the brake system) has been shown that even if that regulation was in place it would not have applied to this train at all

Never mind that we do not even know what the cause of the derailment was at this point.

It has to be that norfolk southern tried to "squeeze more blood out of this penny" as evil capitalist, and the good pure government could have stopped it if they were just given more power, more money, or more regulation....

Not exactly the answer to your question, but I just run ML/CUDA workloads directly on Windows. PyTorch works fine.

I did not need multiGPU training so far (just run experiments in parallel), so unsure about the state of that. Additionally, torchvision does not support GPU video decoding on Windows. Those are two only limitations I faced so far.

I think there's an important point to make that if games haven't kept up with inflation and neither have our wages, then the price hasn't changed.
You're right. When I deliver the rant in the future I'll add that caveat. There are tons of domestic builders, drivers, operators, officers, longshoremen, etc. that work long, long nights and days to make society happen, who are part of the first-world.

You are who I believe deserves a four- or three-day work week. However, there are so many lower-middle and upper-low class people working these jobs that there's just no incentive to do so, and instead layoffs are focused on making you work harder, for more, with less. All the while I and my ilk get comparatively large bonuses for comparatively lackadaisical work weeks.

Covering the entire lean and agile history without touching on the work of Alistair Cockburn is missing some depth. He was on the list of Agile Manifesto signers and gave us Crystal and the Seven Properties.

The bubble grows until it pops. Between 2020 and 2022 liquidity was high and global problems (COVID, Russia-Ukraine, US inflation) meant upper management needed more support.

idk, I've often answered old questions with newer/better answers that get far more upvotes than the one OP chose back in the day as new people land on the question.

Trying to canonicalize dupe questions into one makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, good answers would be scattered across duplicate questions which is quite a large trade-off as well.
Ask HN: How to protect blog from AI search?
In the past, search engines were helpful in promoting content from independent bloggers like myself. However, the new AI search engines will paraphrase entire articles, giving visitors little reason to follow a link to primary sources.

I believe AI search engines violate the so-called "moral rights" [0] of intellectual property -- specifically attribution, and (possibly) integrity. I don't want AI to capture my readers and steal my voice.

So bloggers of HN, do you have plans to resist AI search engines? Are there certain robots.txt entries that would help? Other ideas? I'm even considering publishing future articles as PDFs behind a paywall. Maybe I'm overreacting?

Similarly, passkeys don't necessarily block the phishing attack where the user goes, "ugh, this dongle/phone isn't working, I guess I need to put in one of these one-time recovery codes."

Account recovery is still going to be a weak point here, and it's a kind of double-edged sword. If you're really strict about passkeys getting shared between devices or manually accessed, then users are going to lose access to accounts a lot, and recovery methods are going to get easier to accommodate those situations, which will in turn re-open phishing vulnerabilities.

On the other hand, if services don't implement those recovery options, then the first time a user gets burned with losing access to an account for a week, they're going to stop using passkeys, and broader adoption will be halted.
And this is why neither genre is the only genre. You're allowed to like and prefer different things and that doesn't take away from the other.

Public comms are always a charade. In fact I’d go so far as to say I think communication in general is just a game where you try to say the right thing and create the right impression. Expecting “genuine feeling” from other people, much less from a public statement, is a big misunderstanding of how social interaction works.

The dean who wrote this message doesn’t care about the students. She doesn’t know them. She’s fulfilling a role where she acts as a figurehead that students can project feelings of compassion onto. Like any other job, this one also involves some degree of drudgery, such as writing emails like this. It’s good that ChatGPT can make her life easier by automating that task. Her actual fault was accidentally admitting to it and ruining her image as a figurehead, which is her actual job. But if you’re looking for a referendum on the dangers of ChatGPT on society or something, this story isn’t it.
> Also, China has been cautious about nukes, I don't see them going for a lot.

That's not the assessment of the US Department of Defense [1]:

In 2021, Beijing probably accelerated its nuclear expansion. The Department of Defense estimates that the PRC’s operational nuclear warheads stockpile has surpassed 400.

The PLA plans to "basically complete modernization" of its national defense and armed forces by 2035. If China continues the pace of its nuclear expansion, it will likely field a stockpile of about 1500 warheads by its 2035 timeline.

Well, not all sci-fi obviously.

In many ways even the more depressive/dystopian sci-fi "got it wrong", as in the stories the reasons AI (and technology in general) is abused is often by some big powerful entity or entities (government, corporations, mob bosses, etc.) as part of its design. In reality it's abused by "the little people" who don't have any power or aspirations for it, and they do so for reasons that are banal and boring: to make a quick buck.

I am not sure how my comments relates to yours unless you have completely inverted both my comment and the purpose of the US Constitution.

no where in my comment did I state or imply anyone US Citizen or not has any duties to the US government. The US Constution does not impose any duties on any person at all, citizen or not

The entire purpose and scope of the US Constitution is the establishment of the US Federal government as a Republic composed of US States. There in limiting the power of this government to a specific list of powers and reserving all other power for the States and the people.

As a US Citizen, the US Constitution is not aimed at me, it is aimed at the federal government, many people misunderstand this relationship.
