I would not say so. Saying a "pyramid scheme" implies intentional fraud, which is not the business that (most) startups are in. Theranos, etc. aside, most startups are sincere attempts to build viable businesses and are not committing fraud. It's just an inherently risky game. shrug
> You mean people being let go? There have been layoffs in ton of SV companies, complete with fake "I take full responsibility".

At least the employees of those companies knew they were fired. Read the originating message from Haraldur to Elon...he went to twitter because he had no idea whether he was employed or not. smh
Thanks for the response! My projects aren't that far along, but this echoes a lot of my experience and helps me remember these are common feelings.

> I don't always know the best way to do something, but so long as I know some way to do it, I can make progress.

This helps a lot. Thanks! One of my issues is being able to be ok with feature gaps or bugs. I can solve them if they were created by me, but there are some that need outside help as they are likely bugs in external software or even drivers. But maybe it makes sense to press on and revisit later.

> One more thing: don't talk about your projects until they're 95% done. Seeking early validation is a poison pill.

Is this because you draw attention to an unfinished project, get distracted by feature requests or praise, or something else?
I think case sensitivity in a language, or a shell, is a mistake; but I'm outnumbered 100 to 1 by people who want it.
It could run with a significant performance penalty, and I would be thrilled if I knew it could package numpy, scipy, pandas, matplotlib, and jupyter. Those are the heavy hitter libraries which are likely to be dependent upon some hard packaging requirements.
> this basically requires your language to have ergonomic support for sum types, immutable "data classes", pattern matching

Not at all, the article is about pushing complexity to the "edges" of your code so that the gooey center doesn't have to faff around with (re-)checking the same invariants over and over... but its examples are also in Haskell, in which it would be weird to do this without the type system.

In python or java or whatever you'd just parse your received_api_request_could_be_sketchy or fetched_db_records_but_are_they_really into a BlessedApiRequest or DefinitelyForRealDBRecords in their constructors or builder methods or whatever, disallow any other ways of creating those types, and then exclusively using those types.

I don't know what game #160 is supposed to teach me, lol. I do admit that my explanation isn't right. The game's measure of similarity is based on context in which words are used, not necessarily their meaning. Some people probably argue that context is what gives meaning to words. I think it's not just context.

That's just Nintendo. Old games from other companies are still cheap, especially on platforms other than the Switch. PC in particular.

Nintendo's store also runs less-frequent and worse sales than others. Other stores, a two-year-old game might still be $50 full price, but it'll go on sale half-off multiple times per year. Not so much on Nintendo's store. Doubly so for first-party stuff. 20% off is a steep and rare sale for those, even older titles.
You don't need a "carnivore" diet for that, you just need to avoid sugar and adjust to it.

Multiple currency types are a key part of freemium / microtransaction games, but there are other reasons to have multiple currency types, and it’s becoming more and more common across all types of games.

In a sense, games are often about managing resources. Currency is a resource. If you have one currency type, you can come up with a dominant strategy that maximizes production of that particular currency type. If you make multiple currency types, which are difficult / inefficient to exchange for each other, it encourages people to interact with more portions of the game. You can also have certain currency types tied to key parts of the game’s progression.

Take a look at games like Hades or Control. Hades has obol, darkness, gems, chthonic keys, ambrosia, titan’s blood, diamonds, and nectar. That’s 8 different currency types, the way I count it. No microtransactions—you purchase the game and play it until you are satisfied. There are a ton of game design reasons why those different currency types exist, rather than using a single currency type.

The freemium / microtransaction model just needs one more currency type—something that is slow to acquire, but you can buy it with cash, that directly translates into gacha or something similar, and can be easily converted to other currency types. If Hades had microtransactions, it would probably just have 9 currency types instead of 8.

Whether Twitter was "wrong" to fire him is not really relevant. The employee in question wasn't trying to get his job back, but just trying to get a straight answer about whether he was fired and whether Twitter would honor their contractual obligations, only to get dumped on by Musk and his remora-like followers.

Contractual obligations are relevant because Twitter is famously just ignoring their obligations and stiffing their vendors and contractors, under Musk's watch. This is also something he did with Tesla. So its entirely believable that Musk intends to do the same here.

> the sugar industry is paying a lot of money for all this 'research' and 'news coverage' on sugar alternatives

This has happened before. In the 1960's, the sugar industry funded research that downplayed the risks of sugar and highlighted the hazards of fat:

It is simply impossible to ripoff an entire style of drawing.
> Yeah it’s sucks how he was let go. But he will get paid.

Will he? Musk is currently stiffing Twitter's contractors and vendors, as he has done in the past at Tesla.
Nope. If it was validation, it would return a boolean indicating if the value was... Valid.

Instead it's parsing. It takes in a value of one type and returns a value of a different type that is known good. Or it fails. But what it never does is let you continue forward with an invalid value as if it was valid. This is because it's doing more than just validation.
Having to maintain older versions because you pulled out a function is much more burdensome than just keeping it in. I prefer the lodash way of doing things, you don't. So don't use it, that is fine.

> But it seems like paying someone who isn't working isn't a great use of money.

He and Twitter agreed to structure the buyout of his firm as income for tax reasons so even if he didn't do a single ounce of work for twitter his entire tenure it would have been money well spent for no other reason than the time value of money. Common sense and reading between the lines a bit it seems like his contract stipulates that Twitter now owes a lump sum.

Yah.. you compound this with English/German hybrid electrical system design from 20 years ago, and it rapidly becomes something too expensive to pay a mechanic to fix.
Unsure if I would love or hate that, but it might be more natural than the iphone/airpods/mac "incoming call" fiasco I face regularly.

Airpods/MacOS - listening to background music. Phone call comes in... VERY LOUD facetime 'ring' announces on mac that I'm getting a phone call.

Pick up phone to answer it... holy tamole - it's minimum 8 seconds between clicking 'answer' and... eventually airpods switching over to phone - most of the time. To the calling party, I've 'answered', but they can't hear me - or... can sort of hear me, but I can't hear them. The speed at which the 'switch' takes place, and the visual delay (air pod icons turning on, then off, then on again, then a floating top notification saying "airpods connected"...)... this is always minimum 8 seconds. Usually 10-11.

I just say "hang on, i'm switching my earpiece over..." and wait. Annoying. Given that this is all in their ecosystem, I expect this to get better, not worse. I'd rather this sort of experience get fixed vs more emojis, or 'sidecar' or whatnot.
> And I'm not sure anyone loves this attitude either. Keep it technical.

If I didn't include that proviso, I'd have someone arguing with me to the death about how I'm completely wrong and an idiot who doesn't understand the Correct Way of doing things.
How is that comparable? iPhones, cars, clothes and much more are available in more than one color as well.

> while I'm sure there were many people at Twitter doing mostly nothing

As somebody who was a manager at Twitter (briefly; laid off in 2017 after 7 months) I want to say that this is very much a management problem, not a worker problem.

When I started there, in my initial 1:1s with my team, each told me their story of their time at Twitter. Every single one had worked on at least one project that they were excited about and made great progress on but that at the last minute got canceled by senior execs. At least one; some had more.

So I believe that the main reason Twitter had a justified reputation for low feature velocity was executive-level chaos. Dorsey was the half-time CEO from 2015-2022. When I was there, the VP Product position was jokingly called "defense against the dark arts teacher", as a new person swapped in every year or so. I'm sure it's possible to have a half-time CEO, but for that to work you need a very clear vision and an excellent executive team that is actually working as a team, neither of which I saw during my time there.

It would not surprise me at all that Twitter ,ended up with some people who became discouraged and were just biding their time. However, during my time there I never met anybody like that. Twitter was full of smart, passionate people who loved the product.

That said, if Twitter, months after Musk's takeover and after massive layoffs still has do nothing people, that is 100% Musk's fault. All the people there have passed multiple selection filters by Musk and his goons. Musk has had months to change the culture, share his vision, and build a sense of mission. In my view, he's failed comprehensively. At this point, him publicly shitting on his workers is just him displaying his lack of basic competence as a manager.
This sounds like the kind of high risk gamble that relies on prices continuously going up to work out. It might work out for some and hit it big, or the market can go belly up and leave you in ruin.

I'm also a bit weary of having to manage properties in far flung locations. I rather use a property manager, who would eat into the profits.
True, you can probably get worse chips for s better price from somewhere but these aren't particularly expensive for the devices Apple makes.

> Here in the US, people do not give a sh*. Already benefits have been reduced to the point were you cannot live on Social Security unless you pitch a tent next to a dumpster outside of a restaurant.

This is a problem with Congress not managing the Social Security system properly over the last 85 years.

> Not only that, every year the retirement age is increased. For people born after 1960 full retirement is 67. The GOP in congress is trying to raise it to 70.

See the life expectancy and demographic tables published here by none other than the SSA:
https://www.ssa.gov/history/lifeexpect.html

That's because the combination of benefits times life expectancy times demographics is either going to result in a 25% reduction in benefits that the SSA can pay out or result in a high tax burden on workers (read: major economic drag and recessions) or some kind of half-assed compromise in between.

Had Congress continuously and properly managed the retirement ages, contributions, and SS trust funds properly over the last 85 years we would not be having this conversation. But they haven't, and now there will be pain for almost everyone because of it.
Common sense says that if anything is done in a rush it had higher chances of not being done with same quality as equivalent thing done without time pressure.

This doesn’t necessarily mean Covid vaccines are worse in any ways.

But it means that anyone very confident in their quality and safety is either mislead or not very professional (if it’s a doctor) or trying to mislead you.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter, the market has decided that a company led by a person like this is worth many multiples of a similar company led by a regular person who would never consider doing something like this.

Stroll through the prepackaged bread aisle of any U.S. grocery store and look at the sugar content on the nutrition labels.

The ingredients? Whole wheat flour, water, sugar, wheat gluten, honey, brown sugar, yeast, oil, salt, …

Something I heard recently on the cortex podcast is that Amazon is changing customer's understanding of how shipping works. While it is easy to set up a direct to consumer platform for a shop to sell their own goods, the shipping costs surprise the users because they are used to free shipping through Amazon.
Amazon is more than an online retailer...

Amazon sells ads on its marketplace. It also sells ads that integrate within its marketplace listings in a fashion that can be difficult to discern. It offers a fulfillment service that is integrated with its marketplace. It offers an integrated third party marketplace. These, are of course, facts. Whereas my initial response to was just the hypothetical point that you misunderstand how anti-trust law is applied. I don't think this has been much of a conversation seeing as how you are just being purposefully obtuse. It's clear you are making no efforts to come at this with good faith and I'm not going to bother any further otherwise.
This is where dependent types would shine.

function processUserInput(input: String, requirement: InputReqs[input]): Unit = ...

type InputReqs[input] = {
// We'll say that a Proposition takes Boolean expressions and turn them into types
notTooLong: Proposition[length(input) < 128],
authorIsNotBlocked: AuthorIsNotBlocked[input],
sanitized: Sanitized[input],
...
}

where you might have the following functions (which are all examples of parse don't validate)

function checkIfAuthorIsBlocked(author: String, input: String): Maybe[AuthorIsNotBlocked[input]] = ...

// Create a pair that contains both the sanitized String and a tag that it has been sanitized
function sanitizeString(input: String): (output: String, Sanitized[output]) = ...

where just by types alone I know that e.g. length checking must occur after sanitization (because sanitizeString generates a new `output` that is distinct from `input`) and don't have to write down in docs somewhere that you might cause a bug if you check lengths before sanitization because maybe sanitization changes the length of the input.

Note that this is also strictly stronger than a simple precondition/postcondition system or some sort of assertion system because properties of the input that we care about may not be observable at runtime/from the input alone (e.g. AuthorIsNotBlocked can't be asserted based only on input: you'd have to change the runtime representation of input to include that information).
>Unfortunately I can't create this kind of machine (software eng, no hardware skills), but I think there is a very big market for portable masks with safe air

You may not need to DIY (much).

I recently posted my experiences and tips with the AirPro mask,[0] and the response was at least entertaining! Tl;dr it's a wearable HEPA device that pipes 99.97% filtered air into any N95 mask. Besides improved filtration, this also prevents the hot humid mask feeling that some people dislike.

You might consider adding a carbon prefilter (look for sheet filter medium and cut to size) for the HEPA unit, and pairing that with a carbon N95 mask (eg 3M 8247). This should filter several pollutants of concern you mentioned, including nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and ammonia. Sadly CO is nearly impossible to filter.

For indoor filtration, you might find some MERV-13 filters[1] and make a Corsi Box[2]. No engineering skill required, just a bit of duct tape.

Maybe something here will help! Cheers and good health

Old boy's company was acquired by Twitter, with a contract where he was retained. If it's the standard deal, he only gets paid out if he stays the term in the contract (because old boy was a huge part of the 'assets' that were acquired). Now, instead of explicitly firing old boy (which would then require Musk fulfill the acquisition contract and pay dude) Musk/HR get super squishy. Real men keep their promises and fulfill contracts that they have made. It's not just that Musk is a dick, it's that we're seeing he's not a man of his word but a creature of convenience to himself.

The fact the he's screwing someone who instead of letting the fact they were dealt a bad hand stop them but instead pushed to be the top and what they could do (so like the highest idea of a man and what is impressive in a person) makes the contrast even sharper.
Fake sugar? Is that like "fake leaded petrol"?
Well yes, and I feel like if you're part of a small team, you do want to have much more control over the deployment strategy and implementation, you do want to have ironed-out documentation and perhaps you even want every member of the core team to be able to act in a heartbeat to re/deploy when needed.

On the other hand, of you do have the resources, then it is likely that you will have money to pay for the engineers and have an operating devops team.

So, yeah, while there is probably some place in the middle of these cases where this abstraction can work I think for the vast majority of software implementations this is merely a solution looking for a problem, and of course, as long as a collective we refuse to address the extreme added complexity brought into the field by the Javascript ecosystem we are never going to eventually find true solutions for any engineering problem.

Title here is wrong. Title in article and headings in article are right: ONLINE gradient descent

It's specifically not stochastic. From the article:

Online gradient descent

Finally, we have enough experience to implement online gradient descent. To keep things simple, we will use a very vanilla version:

- Constant learning rate, as opposed to a schedule.

- Single epoch, we only do one pass on the data.

- Not stochastic: the rows are not shuffled. ⇠ ⇠ ⇠ ⇠

- Squared loss, which is the standard loss for regression.

- No gradient clipping.

- No weight regularisation.

- No intercept term.
