Not to mention using an actual language aids readability, extensibility, and static analysis, unlike a data exchange format. Starlark is a benefit, not a con, so YAML feels like a major step backwards.

I'm generally happy with Blaze/Bazel, so I'm not necessarily in the target market for Moonrepo, I guess.

EDIT: This isn't really competing with Blaze/Bazel either when I look at the execution model. It goes back to imperatively defined tasks instead of declaratively defined dependencies, which feels more spirtually aligned with Make than Blaze/Bazel.
Why would I want to use this instead of, say, GitLab's CI/CD Pipelines or Azure Pipelines?

It's a fair bit of effort to change one's already established code repository and build system, and I don't really understand from your pitch what you are offering that is sufficiently advantageous for a decision maker to choose to switch.
Because a huge amount of traffic on the internet is spam and trolling garbage. Humans really don't work well in the context of anyone anywhere can show up and start causing problems. We generally start putting up castle walls because we tire of the bullshit.

That said, Reddit has become very ban happy.
The problem is that you need people getting their questions answered to have anything to search for and it's only gotten worse for the first part. I never try to post on the site and I just use whatever I find in search if it's even usable.
"While I loved the free-money era as an entrepreneur, honestly the mal-investment is absurd and we need a cleansing of the charlatans in the tech industry. VCs are an area that needs to massively contract. "

This. 100% this.

Most founders are utterly ferrets having seizures and unfathomably out of their depth. The VCs are populated by former founders at the long tail of the Peter Principle.
The best book I've read on this topic is Chögyam Trungpa's "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" [1]. He's very clear in pointing out how ego tries to get involved in everything.

It sounds like you may have had an experience, to some extent, of dwelling in the union of wisdom and emptiness or what some call dharmadhatu [2]. It's not a teaching I encountered until I started practicing Vajrayana, as Theravada teachers don't often emphasize the teachings on sunyata. It's something you'll encounter in Mahamudra and Dzogchen teachings.

The API is down too.
I prefer to look for signs of grit and determination in a person's actions where those actions have signficant meaning to that person.

Also, showing up on time is a sign of determination, but making someone get up at 7AM because you do is a sign of narcissism.
I can speak to both of these.

I'll start with Turborepo. Turbo is primarily a task runner for `package.json` scripts with some caching... and that's basically it. If that's all you need, then great, but if you're looking for more functionality, that's where moon comes in. moon is more than just a task runner, we're aiming to be a repository management tool as a whole. This includes project/code ownership, direct CI support, future CD support, code generation, hooks management, constraints, release workflows, and much more. With that being said, we do have a comparison article against Turbo: https://moonrepo.dev/docs/comparison#turborepo

As for Nx, they're more of a competitor than Turborepo. Nx and moon are aiming to solve the same problems, but go about it in different ways. Nx is Node.js based and requires heavy adoption of their ecosystem (@nrwl packages) and their executors pattern. In the long run, this becomes a heavy source of tech debt, as your dependencies are now tightly coupled to their packages and release timelines. With moon, we wanted to avoid this all together. There are no coupled dependencies, and tasks are ran as if you ran them yourself on the command line. No abstraction layer necessary. We also want to embrace a language's ecosystem as much as possible, so moon adoption should be rather simple and transparent (at most each project has a moon.yml file).

But to your last point, we agree, multi-language support is a massive advantage. Having both backend and frontend code in the same repository, powered by the same build system, is a massive win in maintenance costs and developer time saved.
Hume’s point was there was no intelligent design in things made by a skillful craftsman even with a good eyesight. It was not a thought experiment but simple observation of how things were made. It was all tinkering for a long time until something that worked appeared. That it is, it was not a design but evolution.
M1 and M2 are both chiplet design, it has quite a few accelerators hardware built in(e.g. neural network unit), are those supported? or currently only the CPU and (built-in) GPU are used?

if all those units are fully supported, e.g. I can use its NPU to train a machine learning model, I may get a M2 laptop too.
Prompt engineering. The pick-up lines of the NLP world…
I'm a big fan of distri! Really enjoyed your blog posts on its design and development. Hopefully I didn't misremember too much about it in these comments. :)
It took me three readthroughs to notice as well, but the name is actually `moonrepo` not `monorepo`.
Unfortunately they rarely cut programs immediately. It would be too easy to see the consequences.

Instead:

1) freeze or reduce the budget

2) put incompetent people in charge with crazy mission statements

3) wait a bit for the program to fail and skilled employees to leave

4) point at how inefficient and useless the government program is

5) replace it by private sector and contractors

It is a classic move and not just in the US.
How are they not usable? I use a Nokia 7.2 and I think it's a perfect phone. Good screen. Pure Android. Fast. Nice camera (though I really don't care about this). It has 64GB of internal storage, but adding an SD card was straightforward.
Blocking a server because it's full of randos. Ahh, the rise of antisocial networking.

Bill Hicks would be proud; his people who hate people party has been growing quite well.
> ”Oh, but you absolutely would. You should not be pointing a loaded gun in the direction of a human being, safety or not, unless you intend to kill them.”

To extend the metaphor ever more haha, this is such a great way to put it. This applies directly to my point. If Autopilot is the ‘safety’ on the gun, and someone still points the ‘loaded gun’ (the Tesla) at another human, that’s 100% on them. We can’t abdicate their responsibility because the ‘safety’ was broken. The operator should have never pointed the gun at a person in the first place.
Ahh I misunderstood your comment. That does makes sense.
Since all costs are personnel, yes.

If an installation script is downloading an arbitrary binary then I’m not running that script unless that binary also comes from a trusted source. We have PKI to prove that sites are who they claim to be. I only run binaries from trusted sources.
I'd like to see the head of the EPA, the transportation secretary, the executive team at NS, and anybody in the Biden administration who was involved in blocking the rail workers from striking move into East Palestine and live there, with their children.

Don't want to do that because it isn't safe? Then buy these people all new homes. We can start the bidding at $1M per household.

I cannot overstate the fury that I feel watching this unfold. The people living in small midwestern towns, the type of town where I grew up, and where my family lives, are not disposable, and their lives matter exactly as much as the peoples lives who live on Martha's Vinyard, or any other rich enclave.

Can you imagine a tanker load of toxic chemicals spilling into the neighborhood around one of Biden's homes? Or on Mar A Lago? Do you think there would be this much feet dragging about cleaning it up?

It is further demoralizing to watch our President on a tour of Ukraine, giving away tens of billions of dollars to fight a proxy war, when we are having citizens of this country lose their homes to an industrial disaster. No acceptable. If there is money to fund a proxy war, then there is money to make the people in East Palestine whole.
I think “what are you working on” is pretty much the widest possible thread where you can find a cofounder.
What do you think should be the basic templates for?
Like software development project, travel planning. What else?
Maybe it depends where you are?

Hoochi-mama! Hoochi-mama!
One thing to always note in these studies, particularly at the college level, is whether students were randomly-assigned to different sections. (I glanced at the study and couldn't confirm that this was how it was done, although they do reference studies that show similar results for random assignment.)

The reason is that registration at universities has become akin to airline boarding, comprising a complex schedule of priorities allowing certain privileged groups to register first—students in various honors programs, students enrolled in the same major as the course, athletes, and so on. As a result, more desirable class times (or instructors) will frequently be populated with more successful or well-prepared students compared with unfavorable times. (And 8AM is about as unfavorable as it gets.)

Whether or not registration prioritization makes any logical sense or serves any objectives other than making some students feel special is another question. (It's certainly not optimized around minimizing time to degree. Because why would we care about that? /s) And clearly it can have the effect of putting students who are already at risk into schedules that place them more at risk. But the effects of non-random assignment can also pollute studies like this.

Why we're holding classes at 8AM at all is another great question. You'd be tempted to answer "because space", but you might be surprised to find that many large classrooms are idled as early as mid-afternoon. Students seem to also dislike afternoon courses, but I suspect that faculty preferences are more the reason that those time slots don't get used.
Addition of fine-tuning for large language models in Cerebras AI Model Studio
Quite cool development, Cerebras make largest GPU accelerators that can fit entire LLM on a single chip. Making their tech available and affordable for fine-tuning can democratize LLM space even further.
OK, now integrate another model that creates a textual description of the scene from the camera, put it together with ChatGPT and the physical robot arm in a game loop and prompt it to make paperclips. For science. What can possibly go wrong.
I recently silently rage quit a subreddit because it got a new moderator who is not very bright and deletes my posts as being off topic when I'm clearly on topic to anyone with a greater than room temperature IQ. I quit after several months of getting my posts deleted. I remind myself they do it for free, which was why I was silent in my quitting. The article isn't about AI writing code instead of using SO, but a follow up will probably be forthcoming.

Moderators: Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Edit: Note to moderators: If a post has garnered several thousands of up votes overnight don't come along a say it's not a good post in the morning when you wake up. You don't know more than thousands of people who have invested a lot of time in knowing their subject.
I would come up with the opposite example. When I was growing up, Air Jordan shoes were double or triple the price (~$60 to $100+) of other shoes with no extra utility, just branding. As opposed to an iPhone, which might be double the cost of the cheapest Android, but it will last twice or thrice as long making the amortized cost much lower.
I enjoyed the new Warzone, and I especially enjoyed the story/single player. Was a fun afternoon.
"Stack Overflow is a toxic cesspool that is utterly useless outside of historical answers. That begs the question, what fills the void? It seems like Reddit, mostly."

The irony is too much. Reddit is wildly toxic. Though, there are a few good communities. With that being said, SO isn't super useful when languages like Python have awesome documentation.
I have no qualms about getting asked about the gap or short duration of my employment because I am sure most will on some level be able to empathize with my situation. It's the idea of automated filtering machines or some person who has to go through 100s of CVs a day filtering me out without giving me a chance to explain that worries me. But that's a chance I'll simply have to take, I suppose.

What you mention about your current employer is eerily like the situation that ultimately led to every aspect of being just giving up. My last place of employment was an electronics startup making a portable version of an Amazon Go store. I joined fairly early and worked on pretty much every aspect from programming arduinos to migrating an old version of the web application, the mobile app and server code. I used to work about 17 hours a day and initially I really enjoyed solving all these different problems. But it eventually got to a point where those were the only problems I could solve and it ultimately came to a head, oddly enough, when I was buying milk at a store. I bought 2 packets and knowing how much 1 packet cost I couldn't calculate the cost of 2 packets. I just broke down right there and knew I needed to take a break. The feeling that I could write a daemon to reconfigure iptables rules on the fly without referring a manual but not multiply a small number by 2 is shattering.
Machine learning needs better tools
If that is true, wouldn’t it be more effective to use noindex so as not to curtail interaction with the site?
This is a completely broken system though. These cleanup fees should be paid for during the waste generation. Just being allowed to pollute everything and then paying out the owners and declaring bankruptcy leaving it to the tax system to clean up is nonsensical.
I'm working on demo video to put on landing page. It seems like project more complex to start with that I thought, so I will provide guidance on core features and how to use them.

Thanks for checking out. I'll fix that issue you have!
I assume this is from openstreetmap? Although I've never seen trees with specific info in osm.
Because with Android you pay with your privacy (to Google) whereas with Apple you pay more to pay off your privacy debt which also renders Apple iPhone toward a status symbol. Google Android is mobile touch UI computers ('smartphones') for the poor.
I think it's highly dependent on the individuals in the various programming language communities on SO. I've found answers to my Rust questions to be very helpful and welcoming, while I'm not sure I've ever managed to avoid a Golang question being downvoted (disclaimer: I write far more Go than Rust). Most languages are somewhere in the middle in my experience, with the default being not getting an answer at all.

That said, as a search resource for common problems SO is invaluable.
Potassium Bromate is in 100s of US commonly consumer products. Are you suggesting that the FDA is purposefully poisoning the public? That would suggest extreme regulatory capture (which is not tough to believe)
> Identify and clean up contaminated soil and water resources.

So, the EPA isn't going to identify which soils and waters were contaminated? This is going to be like a pharmaceutical company running their own safety trials. "Nothing to see here."
Apple is an entire ecosystem of devices that work very well and look really cool - phone,airpods,watch,macbook, ipad.
Can they control for salary paid/received? Since you would think that salary increases with increased working hours, and we know that satisfaction correlates to salary up to a point. Otherwise it's restating the point that people who make more money are happier.
So moon wouldn't replace your actual CI pipelines. It would be a tool that runs _in your pipeline_ to effectively run tasks as fast as possible.

For example, in CI, tasks are only ran if they are affected by files changed in the pull request. No more running everything unnecessarily. We also support remote caching of artifacts, which helps to speed up CI even further, by avoiding long build times.
It would be helpful if the ideas are clustered. Only non-focused founders will spend their time on reading all ideas, which is needed to find matches in specialized areas.

YC could offer hierarchical subreddits for business sectors. It would be possible to collaborate with founders who are attracted to the same topic and it would be possible to offer opportunities to people who want to work in the broader area.
I mean yeah, but I've also travelled as a private citizen to a number of places that someone politically-uncorrect would call "3rd world shitholes" like Iraq, Syria, etc. I've travelled places where I've been handed an AK by the locals and basically told "good fucking luck, try not to die." I'll go pretty much anywhere; I've been shot at, I've been robbed, I've been pushed out of cars abandoned in the middle of nowhere, I've had my shit jacked before and I generally not hold it against the police or the country in general if ununiformed criminals do that.

This is purely a matter of opinion but being told I have to worry about the cartels and the police is a bigger pill to swallow than just worrying about the cartels. The fact I personally was willing to go doesn't indicate I find being robbed in uniform more palatable.
That's interesting. My Algorithms professor illustrated this point by handing us Kirkman's schoolgirl problem[0] as a homework assignment. Sure the naive solution falls into the category of "intractable withing the lifespan of the universe", but with some clever heuristics you can find one of the solutions quickly (A lackluster program in a couple minutes, a well-thought-through one instantly).

IDK. I think Apple's take is these are appliances. Do you worry about upgrading your refrigerator or microwave? That's where computing has gone. Back when every 3 years or so there were significant performance improvements necessitating an upgrade then the ability to upgrade was important. Now you can go 5-10 years before you find your performance lacking - which is also the lifetime of the hardware. Apple has made computers appliances.

There may still be niche cases where such an approach is undesirable and that's okay - other vendors are filling that niche.
Shameless plug, but if you're interested in learning a bit more about Anaximander (along with the other philosophers of the Ionian School), I did a episode about him in my astronomy history podcast a little while back:

Which animal die offs? Like I said, vinyl chloride has very poor environmental and biological persistence. Any die off of livestock that was going to happen would have happened 2 weeks ago.
Yeah this is all stuff that Facebook is doing already. I tested it recently by creating an account (so there is no pre-existing information) and pausing during scrolling through the ads and suggested nonsense (there was nothing else to show as I hadn't added any friends). I paused on a video of a fish and I could instantly see the next video being replaced by a similar one.

I suppose some people could argue that this is for the user's benefit, to show them content they're interested in. But I find it very sneaky. I personally don't want to see any suggested content, only the people I subscribe to.
Strongly agree. We need to put out a constant stream of low-quality products, and iterate quickly to achieve our goals.

I used to do the opposite: write high-quality well-tested code, but very often the results weren't useful to the business by the time I was done. It would have been much better to produce a couple "sketches" of the feature first, then the business could kill or refine it as they want. Everyone wins!

"Schizophrenia tends to run in families, but no single gene is thought to be responsible."

https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/schizophrenia/ca...

Paul Meehl was associated with the hypothesis of schizotaxia and schizotypy in the 1960s, he believed the first was caused by a single dominant gene. Schizotaxia would cause you to have 'synaptic slippage' which would cause negative social learning which would cause you to develop as a schizotype, which is related to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizotypal_personality_disord...

Schizotaxia, for instance, makes you liable to paranoia, but if it makes you a bullying magnet in school and the authorities blow off your concerns and refuse to protect you you learn that they really are out to get you which has many kinds of negative impact on your development which leads you to become a schizotype who might further develop schizophrenia if you are unlucky.

Maybe 5% of the population is schizotypal, maybe 5% of those develop schizophrenia.

Schizotypy is a form of neurodivergence that is similar in prevalence to autism and ADHD but unlike the others there are not institutions in place to diagnose it so if you present as a schizotype to a therapist under distress they will probably say you have "adjustment disorder with depression|anxiety|conduct concerns" and if they get so far as to think there is a developmental problem they will probably think it is autism or adhd since those are fashionable to have. (So fashionable that people who don't know anything about psychodiagnosis self-diagnose with autism or ADHD but a person who reads about psychology as a hobby might take decades to have that fateful moment where they read a long list of 20+ signs and symptoms and find they have 15 of them... But the similarity to autism is apt since schizotypes develop 'special interests' and tend to be loners because they learn that it is completely unsafe to reveal their difference to other people, even if they have no idea what that difference is.)

It is not so safe to tell people you are a schizotype because of the stigma associated with schizophrenia and the fact that schizotypy is not well known among either the public or medical professionals. Some authorities think the pediatric syndrome described in this book

https://www.amazon.com/Loners-Life-Path-Unusual-Children/dp/...

is usually schizotypy.
Our rail infrastructure is abysmal. Nationalizing it is perhaps not the way to go, but a serious change needs to happen. Speaking as a former Ohioan who grew up in the Ohio river valley.
Is there a place to match with microfounder types? I’d love to build a business but I don’t want to build a billion dollar business. I also have no plans to quit my day job anytime soon.

I don’t really know what the best idea is and need someone who can brainstorm the right idea and then keep me grounded on it.

I can build MVPs and launch. I lean toward absurdly simple, launched too early prototypes. I’m a web developer with 25 years of professional experience. These days I’m a director, mostly managing other devs, but I still love to get my hands dirty.

Anyway, I always thought the YC stuff was for people with bigger ambitions than mine. I have tried YC founder school, which is cool.

Reach out if you wanna chat.
Is it all that it does is essentially just predicting the next bit depending on the training data?
