I think we are definitely in a new era.

My view: entrepreneurs should take on a little more technology risk. Not just market risk. License IP from federal labs and government agencies -- there is SO much advanced tech sitting on shelves. Do government contracting to fund R&D.

Go beyond just software, especially the SaaS kind, because ultimately, software can only make so much difference in society. Investors don't like government and anything sciencey, especially when there's a hardware component, so I don't believe most hotshot founders will go for it. But hopefully enough will take on more technology risk.

The biggest problems out there right now require a mix of traditional software, ML, hardware and research. All put together in the right way.

Some people will refuse to work for a FAANG as a matter of principle, and they don't have a monopsony, so it's not exactly a cartel I'd say
Sure, but it would be a completely different tree of life, from a different origin.

It's possible our origin was from a community of ancestral organisms, but at some point all terrestrial life that we have discovered so far intermixed enough to create an effective universal common ancestor that we all appear to branch from.
Interesting the ML corrects and averages the models instead of predicting itself.
I have FAANG attached to my name with multiple years of experience, where else would you recommend as a replacement or competitor to YC? I am aware of angel investors’ existence but looking for anything besides that
It is an interesting problem, and it has of course had some analysis done to it over the years. I particularly like Analog Device's take[0].

Note that the standard UART byte (8N1) has 10 bits (1 start + 8 data + 1 stop). Use of parity is not at all common. To accumulate 50% you need to be 5% off per-bit.

This is the naive approach, with a single sample in the middle of the bit. Super-sampling and clever clock recovery tricks can get you much better tolerance. An example such as the +4.58/-4.54 on the whole message even older atmega8[1] achieve. They are not even chips designed to be dedicated to UART. This is pretty good, while still working bit by bit.

A strong implementation can go considerably further by super-sampling the whole message, and sampling past the expected end. By super sampling the whole message and an extra bit, you can get to that 10%, or tolerance of clock being off by a whole bit.

ch340 and variants likely do not supersample at all, in addition to using a poor (not xtal oscillator) clock source, and that's why they do that poorly.

That technology exists. It's called newsgroups, it's fast, distributed, hard to censor, without a central authority and based on community of interests. It's also pretty much dead except for sharing pirated contents.
I used to have only 1 CV (like you, I assume). Not anymore. Now I have some sort of a template with fixed parts (e.g., education, past experience)... but whenever I apply for a company I put on my CV 90% or so of the keywords they are looking for. I usually know very well around 60% of what they are looking for, and have a bit of knowledge of everything else. So, for instance if they say that knowing Nginx is a plus, well, I put I used Nginx in some of my old jobs. I certainly know a bit of Nginx but I'm no expert. The point is that when they open my CV, they get to see their keywords.

Obviously this technique is only useful to pass the recruiters/screeners. When I get to talk to engineers and managers, I take it more seriously.

> I can vouch for a truly amazing amount of scammers that salivate when they hear startup.

It really is amazing, isn't it? Over the years, I've developed a few coping mechanisms. One of which is that I never tell people I'm an entrepreneur, and I never use the word "startup".

I work for a business, doing <whatever the business does>. Outside of potential investors, nobody needs to know that the company is a startup running on my sweat and blood.
That's... not a cartel though? A cartel is a group of firms conspiring to artificially control the supply of some good in order to increase its price, what you described is just several independent firms that have a high demand for workers and are bidding up salaries for them.

It was more cartel-like when Apple and Google were conspiring to keep tech salaries down by setting salary caps.
The UI looks awesome. Do you mind sharing your tech stack on the backend and the frontend?
This seems spectacular, and I already would have added my CC and purchased a subscription, except for two major things:

1) I don't use react, I use web components. This product seems very React centric, which kills it for use for a lot of people

2) It's not helpful to me to be limited to the Chakra UI design system, in order for this to be useful for my teams, I'd need to be able to add our web component design system. I assume there would be some sort of "mapping" process where I could indicate "this is a header component" and "this is a sidebar" component, etc...

The absolute killer feature would be to allow me (storybook style) to add any web component and place it on the screen. I've been searching for a visual designer like this forever, it seems like the obvious solution with web components, but I still haven't found it.

Agreed point 2 seems to be the crux.

An important concept behind this is Omohundro's Basic Drives. Any maximizing agent with a goal will try to acquire more resources, resist being shut off, resist having its goal changed, create copies of itself, and improve its algorithm. If it is possible to maximize its goal in a way that will not guarantee humanity's flourishing, then we all die, guaranteed.

If you want something more spelled out, I'll refer to Tim Urban's explanation. It's quite long, but is about as detailed as you can ask for. https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revol...

You might have misunderstood. Historically cartels have worked to keep SWE salaries low, not high[0].

I was first introduced to Linux with Ubuntu around 2009 - 2010. I used it up until 2014 or so, then toured my way around Windows and Mac OS. I'm currently on a Mac, but at a past job I had to boot straight into a Linux VM, and Fedora was fantastic.

I always hear how Ubuntu nowadays makes a lot of questionable decisions, how Snaps are bad, and so on. I also hear a lot of criticism about Flatpak. But Fedora 36 more or less "just worked". I disliked GNOME 3, but the GNOME 40 interface is a huge improvement. I also like how Fedora is able to just get out of my way. There are no quirks added to the desktop environment besides a little Fedora watermark. Flatpaks more or less "just works" for me, and I can hardly tell the difference between Flatpaks and "native packages" on GNOME Software. They both are one click, enter password, wait, then ready. DNF is slow as molasses, though, but otherwise Fedora was straightforward to install and use daily for development.

I'm very likely going to run Fedora on a Framework 16 when the time comes to replace my MacBook.

You haven't experienced the GFW if you think that's the main goal. Oh, and please try telling your Chinese friends that "the govt doesn't particularly care about VPNs" and listen to what they yell at you.

Why is rebase such a reviled git command? It's so useful. Interactive rebase is essentially a centralized place for editing history: reordering, squashing, amending, rewording, dropping, merging, splitting. Pretty much anything anyone could ever want to do can be done with interactive rebase. Enable autostashing and explicit dropping of commits and there's basically no way to screw things up. In the event that does happen somehow, reflog shows previous heads and even notes the point where the rebase began, making it easy to hard reset.

It's just so good. I don't know what I'd do without it.

Nice project! Anyway, one of the unrealistic details is that the robot in the simulation curls the fingers when it is not using them. In particular the pinky finger. Can that be fixed in a future version? For comparison, I got this as the first result in Google https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGYyOY4XaFs

It's also strange that all fingers are always parallel, but I guess that adding that freedom makes the search space huge.

Regarding the color criticism(s), it's wonderfully subjective and it's definitely a case of "once you see it, you can't unsee it". Early bulbs were too blue in color temperature; later ones finally got the color temperature right (at least technically) but something else still seems "off" sometimes.

There needs to be a way to read reviews of these, AND people need to be willing to spend more money on quality.

Treat it the same as drinking in public. Fentanyl should be legal for anyone to buy and use, but that doesn't mean it's ok to do it in public and expose others to it.
Again what you quote is precisely the definition you are seeking. Quite literally price gouging is simply another way to say "I think this price increase due to this abnormal market situation is unfair". It doesn't define how something should be considered unfair and it doesn't define what an abnormal market situation is rather it defines one's view on the situation. To try to debate price gouging on whether it is instead of why it is is therefore a bit misguided, as is comparing it to economic laws like supply and demand where it's completely orthogonal to how the market operates and instead focuses on why it does in bad situations.

In regards to "regulate it" price gouging laws are one type of regulation. Typically for government price gouging laws to kick in the government has to declare the situation an emergency but that doesn't limit what each person can consider price gouging.

Personally I don't think this is quite price gouging territory. The market situation is funky vs the normal situation for sure but it's not exactly a crisis driving people to buy eggs they have to get at inflated prices rather a problem lowering the supply of eggs which isn't enough to tick the box for me. Particularly at these prices. Others may disagree of course.

Apple Launches Interest-Free Buy Now, Pay Later Service
This is the level of analysis you'd expect from a first year economics student. And that isn't even considering that his points about teachers are entirely wrong.

Teachers generally need a post grad degree to teach, assholes in tech only devalue this work because it isn't coding. I would pay money to see this guy try to run a classroom.

Finally, teachers don't "get a lot of time off". They get a lot of time off in the summer but are pretty swamped throughout the rest of the year and it seems to end up hitting the average working hours per year in total.

Making the Case for an API Roadmap
It really doesn't. Under the new plan, you won't be able to read out anything from query/streaming endpoints unless you pat least $100/month. But you'll still be able to post 1500 tweets/mo (about 50/day) for free.

Given how easy it is to make/purchase Twitter accounts, this works just fine for spammers, people running influence operations etc. Sure you won't be able to tweet 10 times/minute like some spammers do, but those people are usually doing it manually or puppeteering via headless browsers rather than operating developer accounts.

You also don't need Twitter Blue unless your output depends on cold views. In reality, nearly all spam/scam/influence campaigning relies on follower/retweet networks to do amplification. Commoditized verification is meaningless, it's like paying for a t-shirt that says 'I'm famous.'
