> A key feature of these environments is that state is not generally persisted from one request to the next. That means we can’t use standard client-side database connection pooling.

University towns are nice little "theme parks" for those who can afford them. In the real world we need things like ports, factories, and warehouses.

I will not attempt to defend the bizarre excesses of the tech industry. But over a long enough time scale, tech companies have to either turn a profit or disappear so there is at least some grounding in objective reality. Whereas academia faces no such pressures, and many instructors teaching courses have never even worked outside that environment.

I dunno. It took like one line in conda to bring in GPU PyTorch, one for sentence-transformers, one line of Python to initialize it, one line to encode. No worries about somebody else getting data breached, acqui-hired, or struggling to find a sensible, fair, and profitable pricing model.

Clustering with sci kit-learn is… easy. Indexing in FAISS is… easy. Maybe it’s hard if you use Rust and it was hard to do this in Pythoh 5 years ago. Dilbert’s Boss probably thinks it is hard but he got fired…
Maybe, but I think if that were really the case, they would have at least offered 2% cash back on all purchases to be competitive with other credit cards. That is the baseline free credit card that anyone credit card worthy can get.
I don't really think Apple's interest is in collecting interest on these payments, but I do think it will cause people to use Apple Pay more because it enables (perhaps encourages) them to buy things they otherwise wouldn't buy. That can be good or bad depending on the circumstances, I just expect this will be frequently utilized in an "impulse buy" sort of way because it creates an illusion of affordability.

I still find it fascinating how bad the "new reddit" was and still is.

It is so badly coded there was an entire subreddit dedicated to finding bugs for a year or two that they simply shut down after a megathread analysed the amateurish spaghetti code that made up the frontend; race conditions, code duplication and library hell was everywhere.

It's still super sluggish and the pop-over functionality is still so laughably brittle that it's a mystery to me how this was coded by a professional team.

Speculating wildly on something we still haven't been able to figure out...

I was talking with an old colleague, and one of the biggest problems we've heard of in too many startups is founders with little-to-no experience who seem mind-bogglingly, clinically sure of themselves. Even in fields in which they have zero education or experience, even when all the highly-skilled specialists they hired are telling them the opposite. Even when they're told the good employees and customers will leave if they do a stupid thing that they have no business even considering. But why are so many of these people getting funded?

Going back to the article: imagine you're pitching, and startup experts who seem to be on your side are nevertheless trying to talk inexperienced you out of it. You can't make an argument that convinces them to stop trying to talk you out of it. Maybe they know something you don't? Nope, then you're rewarded for irrational confidence in yourself, and perhaps for manipulative fake-it-till-you-make-it behaviors.

Even if this wasn't the nature of the discouragement PG wrote about, given how influential PG's articles seemed early in tech startups, maybe a lot of investors since then have been selecting for, and encouraging, some traits that we've seen destroy more companies than they make?

If that's the case, was that part of some angel/VC formulas all along, to make some percentage of the investments be in narcissists, till you hit a high-functioning one? Or that, plus roll the dice on whether the necessary mitigating/complementary external factors align at random? Maybe that's not a bad strategy, especially when the investment environment is such that you can have an apparently skyrocketing property, and exit rich, before anyone realizes the rocket has deep-seated problems and is going to blow up.

Obviously, personalities like this have existed before tech startups, but maybe not as frequently enabled by professional investors?

Speculating wildly here, but the not-unusual clinically overconfident startup founder (to the point of self-destructive) is a phenomenon we haven't been able to figure out in any satisfying way, and only have guesses.

GitHub Galaxy 2023: Empower developer teams with a new developer experience
Secondlife was doing this well before Zuck made the idea his and struggled ihn many of the same ways including the gold rush to 'own' parts only to realize there was minimal return even if it's just a pure marketing channel.

The idea will take hold when someone can show a real way to monetize and derive value for the companies participating which will require having a user base before you start selling 'real estate' and expensive equipment.

You're right. Those events just move you further away from any past meanings of the surname.
Yes, exactly. Those aren't seen as tech companies. Apple has cheapened their brand to that of an airline or hotel, or Costco at best. It's not terrible, but it's not the visionary company it used to be.

Cody is being open sourced under Apache 2. The source code is here: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/-.... The analog would be if GitHub open-sourced Copilot but didn't open source GitHub (Sourcegraph is open core, similar to GitLab, with all the code publicly available and the enterprise-licensed code under "enterprise" directories).

The network dependencies are Cody --> Sourcegraph --> Anthropic. Cody does need to talk to a chat-based LLM to generate responses. (It hits other APIs specific to Sourcegraph that are optional.)

We are working on making the chat-based LLM swappable. Anthropic has been a great partner so far and they are stellar to work with. But our customers have asked for the ability to use GPT-4 as well as the ability to self-host, which means we are exploring open source models. Actively working on that at the moment.

Sorry for any lack of clarity here. We would like to have Cody (the 100% open source editor plugin) talk to a whole bunch of dev tools (OSS and proprietary). We think it's totally fine to have proprietary tools in your stack, but would prefer to live in a world where the thing that integrates all that info in your editor using the magic of AI and LLMs to be open source. This fits into our broader principle of selling to companies/teams, and making tools free and open for individual devs.

> In 2020, a U.S. firm called Delta Crescent Energy LLC secured a deal with the Kurdish authorities under an authorization from the U.S. government. The firm’s partners include former U.S. ambassador to Denmark James Cain, also a Republican campaign donor; James Reese, a former U.S. special forces officer; and an experience oil executive, John Dorrier Jr.

> The Daily Beast reported that Delta was to earn $1 per barrel of oil exported from Syria, according to government filings. Dorrier, the firm’s CEO, had worked with a U.K. oil company with offices in Syria. He told the Military Times that Delta “had some $2 billion in contracts to sell oil into the international market that will benefit American allies in northeast Syria that have helped in the fight against the Islamic State group.”

> The Assad foreign ministry called it all a U.S. plot to “steal Syria’s crude oil.” The ministry described the Kurdish forces as “terrorist militias,” and predicted they would be defeated by the government.

> Delta Crescent Energy was the only firm licensed by the U.S. government to work in Syria. The license was permitted despite U.S. Treasury sanctions aimed at punishing the Assad regime.

> Things changed when the new Biden administration did not renew Delta’s sanctions waiver this year.

> In February, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that the 900 American troops then in Syria were there to resist IS and “are not authorized to provide assistance to any other private company, including its employees or agents, seeking to develop oil resources in Syria.”

how does "i'd like to see all baristas be able to call out of work if they get sick without consequence (fear of losing their job) despite the constraint of a store needing sufficient manpower hours scheduled when it comes to staffing to give good service/get through a shift for its customers" correlate to "i/other customers don't want to pay starbucks already high prices, let alone hypothetically higher needed to support starbucks having a more lax 'employees need unpaid spontaneous time off' policy"

they don't correlate well

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/SBUX/starbucks/pro...

they have 75% margins on their coffee as is, yet their net margins are 10% company wide. the average drink in my experience is $6-$8 before a tip. how much more do they need to charge their customers in order to make "starbucks will be less strict and more understanding about their employees needing unpaid time off randomly without having to worry about it counting as a missed shift/needing to get it covered"? they only have that policy because otherwise their bottom line would get affected, right?

what's realistic? 2 random sick days a quarter per employee? 4 a year? sick bank hours accrued?

Yes. Jim O'Neil (the economist in question) grouped them together in a piece of economic research for Goldman Sachs as examples of fast-growing developing economies that he believed would overtake the G7 in terms of GDP by 2050.

The person you're responding to already mentioned variations in pronunciation. There's also the problem of homophones. Then there's the even bigger problem of reading speed. You can comprehend a lot at a glance with characters, which you can't do with pinyin due to homophones. And the biggest problem is losing access to existing literature. While the 繁体/简体 gap can be easily overcome, at least for reading, the character pinyin gap is pretty much impossible to bridge.
Correct. It is very explicitly targeting tourists who want to stay for more than 90 days, up to 180 days. Basically this is a convoluted method of extending tourism to rich tourists for a longer (specifically, a double) period of time to have them pump more of their money into the country. That's all.
> You’ll need to answer some questions to verify your identity. These questions come from a public database dating back as far as 20 years.

Wait, I need to verify my identity by regurgitating public information about me? However PayPal scraped up that information, an attacker could as well. This is absolutely security theater.
This is nothing new. Apple's been in the BNPL finance game since the original iMac was introduced - so if they're tarnishing the brand, they've been doing it since they completely rebooted the brand.

In 1998, you could finance a G3 iMac with a loan for ~70 months of $29 payments. They also started up a store-only credit card finance option sometime in the early aughts via Barclays.
Don't even get me started on airplanes though - there was only 66 years between the first airplane (Wright Flyer in 1903) and the moon landing (1969).
