Starting my own company to solve other people's use cases :-)

I'm a business "end user" who also loves programming. After 10+ years being a part of both worlds, I feel like I have a very strong vision for how these tools should work, so I've decided to build my own. It's a daunting task, but if I can leverage existing tools, maybe it's just a matter of gluing everything together neatly

Let's agree to disagree. So many people can't use LaTeX properly because it's too esoteric and dream of using something different than Office.
Deep learning is out there in real products a lot more than you think. Any system that’s processing images, video, audio, or natural language (better than what existed in 2010, which was almost universally very poor) is almost certainly using DL.
For sure. Right now it's mostly CTOs and engineers who are excited about Frigade. The product people and customer success folks we've talked to tend to care less about how it gets built, and moreso that it's built well and fast.

I like the suggestion you gave on how we can frame Frigade. It's a way to finally prioritize better onboarding, and self-serve access to the related data, without committing too much development time.
Thanks, I've added a note saying the video doesn't add new information. It's just a different avenue of explaining the idea. I think "modern art" isn't so far off the mark, but I'm hoping somebody smarter with more resources will adapt it or improve upon it in some way.
Chrome will still be faster even if ublock doesn't block as much as FF does. In fact the new declarative filters will most likely be faster than the current ones.

The flighty deposit base is also complicated. There are rules around depositors and capital ratios, and they include primitive models of depositor types. It turns out VC money is more like a "deposit broker" than a retail or merchant account, even when you have rules in place to make borrowers use your other services. We know this in retrospect, but I can't fault them too hard over deposit risk modelling. I would have thought "don't cause a bank run on your own bank" was something a dude who used to work for Credit Suisse would already know. Maybe thats why I shitpost on HN instead of running a high finance company myself.

> Its SVB's responsibility to understand its own depositor base.

Its SVB's responsibility, and they paid a price for it by getting zero'd out. But it's _also_ the regulator's job to look out for such risks, to protect deposit insurance among other things. One professor puts the blame on a shift from regulating risk to regulating process[1], promoted by Alan Greenspan. Who later said of the 2008 crises "those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder's equity – myself especially – are in a state of shocked disbelief."

Said differently the regulators aren't there to protect shareholders from the risk of owning a bank. That's just a handy benefit. It seems likely though that this risk would have been easy to spot and the power prevent had regulators been motivated to do so.

For whatever reason, banking seems to attract a lot of "heads the exec suite wins, tails shareholder loses" agent-principal problems. Thats really my point: the cost of hedging risk is the profits -- and profit-sharing -- that you might have earned. Probably _all_ of it. "Not hedging your risk" then isn't just staff and execs being "dumb dumbs" who forgot about it, but a deliberate enterprise and strategy. In the fullness of time we'll probably learn how execs were incentivized to take the risks that took the company down and how they influenced the board to give them those incentives. IDK how relevant it is but Greg Becker was on the board of the SF Fed, while running a regulated institution.

> No one else had the stupid amounts of interest-rate risk associated with having a Silicon Valley tech-startup as their #1 depositor / typical customer. No one else had 95%+ uninsured deposits.

About that... if fed keeps raising rates, I expect more banks to float to the surface. Collateral damage, in both senses. SVB was hardly unique in the 'unrealized losses' category.

Yeah, typically I wouldn't classify retrieving an object from where you believe it to be as "looking". By the time Bob is "looking" he already realizes the toy isn't in the box. In the universe there is only the box, Alice, and the table so maybe he "looks" under the table first.

Or looks inside Alice... Maybe that answer is how they test for psychopaths.
"7.) 2020+. Post-COVID. Culture was hurt significantly by remote work, it's very hard to realign the company to adapt to outside changes."

Agreed. I left end of 2021 after a year and a half of struggling with bad execution on WFH. Some teams did better than others but company as a whole I think lost out on that.

WFH can work. But it didn't work at Google, really.

And when the office was open during those times I went in, and the whole situation was just... crap. Floating reserved desks. Take away meh, food. Nobody else in the office. Ghost town but somehow the parking situation still sucked.

I know how a BMS works and I kind of understand why a reset is needed, but to replace a battery with a new one of the same characteristics (capacity, chemistry etc) should need a very simple reset procedure with no external tools. With the modern displays in most of the cars, you can put that in a menu there.

I am still riding a motorcycle with no battery and kickstarter. That is the ultimate reliability and dependability, the last thing you want in the middle of the mountains is the vehicle to stop because it does not have the latest monthly Windows update for .Net framework that works only OTA and there is no signal in that area. I am exaggerating a bit, but only for artistic purposes :)

Chrome doesn't allow loading remote web assembly in mv3 extentions. You can't run remote javascript either. It's fine if you bundle the wasm with your extension.

> Async/await allows to write concurrent code with no synchronization

Well you still need some sort of synchronization, because an "await" allows arbitrary other actions to occur. If an await is introduced in code you transitively call then you might find that some invariant you were expecting to hold has now changed across a call when it previously didn't. Fundamentally, locks are about making invariants atomic and that's independent of exactly how code is scheduled and when.

> iPhone 4 introduced mobile copy and paste.

To the iPhone. There were phones on the market that supported copy and paste by the time the first iPhone rolled around.

I would tend to agree with you about the rest; the internet didn't strike the average person as very useful, or at least as revolutionary as it did with the advent of the smartphone. Arguably the iPhone was the mainstream breakthrough there.

But this is what kills me, and you said it yourself:
"It was only when the internet became portable that it really infected every moment of life."

That was a good thing when the titans of today's web didn't employ armies of psychologists to hijack your attention to sell ads, inadvertently destroying the fabric of society. I don't have to tell the HN crowd how algorithms tuned to increase engagement blindly steer us toward outrage and division.

I recently posted comments about how I went from the Apple ecosystem to as open source as feasible. Nowadays the FairPhone only does duty as a GPS (hardmounted to my car). I have to be able to receive phone calls so I still use a Nokia, but it lives at home as much as possible.

For me personally, the total invasion of every aspect of life by the internet, and more specifically the tech giants in Silicon Valley, has killed all the joy and excitement I used to feel at the bleeding edge of tech. The bright-eyed sci-fi future turned out to be just another avenue for greed.

It's just a laptop now, and a gaming PC for the (very) occasional game with friends. If my house burned down with those in it, I doubt I'd feel loss.
Translating sign languages to spoken languages is really, really hard. Sign languages have a lot of features that don't really show up in spoken languages.

Let's take an example: the sign for "send email" in ASL (http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/e/email.htm). If I point at you at the end of the sign it could mean "I will send you an email." If I point at myself it could mean "You should send me an email" or "Did you send me an email" depending on my facial expression. If I point off into space it could mean "I'm sending an email." If I start by pointing at you and then end the sign by pointing off into space it could mean "You should send an email." So your translator AI needs not only to understand the facial expressions and movements of the signer, but also the spacial relationships of everyone in the conversation. And that is just one aspect of the difficulty - there are many other features of sign languages that are just as hard to translate.

Perhaps this is the sort of thing that future AI systems could do. But it is quite complex.

> LLMs and diffusors are the first AI technology to keep the AI name

"AI" is not a static name that can be given to something and it remains AI. What was AI today will not be AI tomorrow, it'll be too simple by then.

Just as the AI written in the 1950s is not even AI by today standards, while it was groundbreaking at the time.

This moment will too come to pass, and people will look at 2023 AI as "AI that lost its naming rights".
Typst still has a syntax that one needs to learn (or Google it).

Overleaf's slowness is not a LaTeX issue. I was using LaTeX IDEs with near-instant previews more than 10y ago.

Then again, why such emphasis on the preview? Both LaTeX and Typst are not WYSIWYG. The content is already in front of you. There's space for improvement, but building new systems is not the most optimal solution.
Midjourney, DALL-E, and many of these generative AIs have reached human-level for a long time.

The problem is - unlike a human - it's pretty hard to get them to do something close to what you have in mind. Sure, if you try a few dozen prompts - you'll probably eventually get something close to what you want.

And considering the cost of this will approach free - it's going to be hard for artists to compete.

I tried getting Midjourney to generate an image of a boy doing a high jump - and no matter what I tried - the boy is hurdling over the bar rather than high jumping over it.

The quality of the images is great - human-level. But it's not what I want.

I think we'll be stuck in this phase for a very long time, like self-driving cars.
> We somehow crossed over an invisible line that separates "cheeky hyperbole" from "outright deceit and lies" and nobody noticed

It's been around forever. As good recent-ish example is the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect:

" Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

— Michael Crichton"
This is great! Also awesome that it's open source. I was actually in the process of building this exact thing, I'll pause on that. I'm curious- what size companies do you envision as your target customer? And have you gotten any pushback yet about security/compliance concerns?

I'd never heard of fzf before! It looks like there's a lot of cool stuff you can do with it, but honestly, I think it's worth it even just to replace the frustrating ctrl+R search in bash, which I use a lot, but constantly dislike.

I feel like with a lot of these kinds of tools, if I have to actually actively use them, I forget that they exist ('z'[0] ended up being like this for me) and eventually remove them, but something that directly replaces something I use regularly (but hate the UX of) is perfect for me.

Another bit that helps is that I'm not having to learn/remember something new that I'll only have on my laptop. I'll continue to ctrl+R and get a nicer experience, but if I'm ssh'ed into some random box without fzf, ctrl+R will still work, just with a worse experience.

> I’ll wager $20 in 2023 dollars that median wage, wealth, and quality of life will be greater in 2043.

For who? Real wages have been falling for decades. 'Quality of life' is amorphous. Do we have a higher quality of life than people did 20 years ago? We're fatter, we have less wealth, we spend more time commuting, it's basically impossible to buy a house for most people.

The actual meaningful quantum attacks on modern cryptography all target the asymmetric key exchange algorithms, and make them practically attachable (assuming the standard “big enough” and “with low enough noise” constraints).

Grover’s algorithm is essentially just a square root improvement on the search complexity for finding the symmetric key. That means the search complexity remains exponential and the encryption is still secure - we might want to increase the key size[1], but that is all that is needed. The attacks on asymmetric ciphers mean increasing the key size isn’t a meaningful solution.

[1] currently under classical attack aes128 is “secure”, and assuming no algorithmic weakness being discovered will remain so for a while. However most modern protocols have increased to 256 but keys already as a pre-emotive defense against increasing classical computing capacity. Grover’s algorithm logically reduces the strength of a 256 bit key to 128 bits, but doing so requires quantum computers which so far seem to have some fundamental performance limits that leads me to not being overly concerned. I’d be more concerned about a quantum attack on aes128 as complexity on the order of 2^64 becomes much more plausibly broken.
At the very least, pick one case and stick with it, don’t mix upper and lower.
As far as I understand, no. This is only about Grover's algorithm.

I sure hope archive.org is on top of this. This is about as big of an archive emergency as there can be.
that's easily the least-interesting part of my post though (and a quick web search will show plenty of evidence both for and against it).

again: our news media temporarily gaslit the entire country into being bigoted against an entire major world religion (not to mention other groups who were unfortunate enough to resemble, at a glance, the caricatures we were gaslit into hating—like Sikhs), solely to further the agenda of foreign-soil invasions, and then told us we were wrong for having ever held these beliefs after the fact, when they were the ones who instilled those beliefs in us in the first place. when you sit down and examine how crazy this all was, it's mind-blowing, both the actual series of events and how quickly we forgot and moved on from it as though it never happened. most people forgot they ever held these beliefs at the time (understandable, as it was quite shameful—even if it wasn't our fault), and, I assume, people who were not born yet will never truly know what it was like, because I guarantee that shit ain't going in the history books. even saying "freedom fries" or playing American Idiot on Spotify today rarely truly jogs people's memory and makes them remember that chapter of their lives and how quickly our beliefs shifted as the result of blatantly state-backed media indoctrination enacted on a susceptibly trusting populace.
