I think what people don't seem to understand is that entrepreneurship is a skillset. You can get better at it by practicing.

Like any skillset, you can build a career out of it. And, just like any career, you could end up on the scale of loving it to hating it. I'll admit it's quite a bit harder than any other career though since often you can't look to your peers for advice or examples of success. It's largely a game of taking on risk to provide value to people who will pay for it.

If you've never promoted yourself online, how do you expect to learn enough marketing chops to get people to the value you provide with your business; how do you expect to learn enough sales chops if you've never sold anything to anyone before.

As for me, I'm just a lowly independent consultant, so make of this what you will, but I understand that I'm slowly getting better at sales and marketing, and understanding the value I can provide to my clients, and what makes my consulting different (and hopefully better) than others. Like a natural career progression, I hope to give myself a promotion by creating and selling digital products one day using the skills I've built at the bottom of the ladder.

Really liked this post and overall the entire site’s content seems great; especially like the simple way of expanding additional detail — though maybe that could be done with more semantic <details> and <summary> tags rather than <div>? — but I really wish it was more mobile friendly… might be the arbitrary initial-scale value, but not sure at a glance… on my iPhone, at least, the page loads with a good portion of the content overflowing offscreen and I need to manually pinch to zoom and drag all over to read the content.
I can't rhyme in French either. A lot of these comments just remind me of that Alan Kay quote: “Artificial intelligence is what we don’t know how to do yet.”

In the past year we've got models that can draw, write poetry and code better than a significant percentage of people, and now the goal posts are moving so fast they're even hard to see.

I'd probably agree that we're still a few breakthroughs away from something that could pass as AGI, but the current models are already better than just "parroting". And even if progress stales for the next 10 or 15 years like it has happened frequently with AI, everything that it has learned to do in the last couple years can be fine-tuned and made a lot more efficient, which I expect will have a big impact already.
Sure, you would have got it right if you didn't get it wrong.

At the very least, this should be evidence that the problem wasn't a totally-trivial easy pre-kintergarden level problem though, and it did manage to correctly solve it.

It required understanding new axioms (smaller = bigger feet) and infering that people with bigger feet would crush more bugs without this being mentioned in the challenge.

Your dismissal that the AI messed up because it didn't phrase the correct answer back in the way you liked is a little harsh IMO, as the AI's explanation does make it clear it is basing it on likelihoods ("the person with the biggest feet would be more likely...").

What's more, the contagiousness aspect isn't the only issue here. Jerks tend to cause problems for organisations for other reasons too. Such as:

1. They scare away a lot of competent workers, since many smart and talented employees won't want to be stuck working alongside an asshole, regardless of how 'talented' they might be. And given that the best employees tend to have a plethora of options for where to work, and well... you can guess how that affects the talent remaining.

2. They discourage newer and less experienced employees from learning/improving, and instead encourage them to leave. But folks who aren't necessarily the most talented developers now can very much turn into such with the right environment and incentives, which these types of people don't provide.

There really aren't any benefits to keeping around jerks, and a whole lot more downsides than people think.
Mint is flatpak based? Since when? (writing this from my Linux Mint OS).
I think as engineers we have to realize a few things:

1. Unless you are working alone and for yourself good communications are more important than most engineers will admit. The thing is: the quality of communication does not necessarily correlate with the quantity or the duration of it. And depending what role you play, you might not need a lot of communication in order to get a clear picture, while others might need more (for you: unnecessary) communiation to get on the same page. The drummer of my band always used to say there shouldn't be that much discussion about what we are playing, which is super easy to say if you don't need to harmonically integrate with other instrumentalists.

2. Every single one of us is in danger of dialing the degree of complexity too far, or not far enough. Every single one of us is in danger of doing things a certain way because we try to make them nice, while that makes them technically unmaintainable. Code is communication as well. Communication with your collegues or yourself in the future. Good code is efficient, reliable and communicates well. Sometimes we have to sacrifice a little bit of one for the other, but clear code and e.g. efficient code should not be seen as opposites, but as a multidimensional problem to which there are solutions that work better on both fronts and solutions that suck on both fronts.

3. Context. Many engineers I have met have a hard time explaining some concept or problem in a way that it is understandable. Either they dive in way to hard and assume everybody knows what they know or they will start explaining it and get side-tracked and end up talking about something entirely else. Giving someone a clear image of where we are and then zooming in on the detail in well-sized steps is a skill I wish more people had. This skill also helps when debugging, because you will check your zoomed-out-priors first and then bifurcate the problem space as you zoom in.

I shop on both websites every week. I spend about $150/week in one order on Walmart.com, primarily food. I sporadically buy from Amazon, but place over 200 orders a year.

For the first thing, if a product can be delivered from my local Walmart to my house within a few hours I feel like it has reached a much higher quality bar Amazon. Walmart put a lot of effort picking items to put on their shelfs. Much more than Amazon, or things that are shipped to you over days on Walmart.com. Both have good return policies, but returning to an actual store is easier.

I rarely purchase something from the front page of Amazon, but often purchase from the front page of Walmart. I find using amazon to find anything but very specific products to be a complete waste of time. All categories and subcategories are overfilled with look-a-like products, and is just spam to search through. The types of things Amazon recommends are almost exclusively things I have already looked, or something I have absolutely zero interest in.

Walmart's recommendation system is powerful at getting me to make smaller purchases. A lot of it is because of the repeat purchase nature of groceries. It knows I've bought my favorite type of orange juice 12 times, it shows me the orange juice, and I buy it again. It's also good at getting me to buy things I have never bought before. Walmart has categories that are good for browsing. If I type in "cookie" I get a wide selection of cookies, and can find something I want to eat. When I visited the home page there was a large selection called "Patio and Garden". I just realized I would probably like to do some gardening, and will buy supplies from walmart.com later.
Sounds a lot like 1984. Who gets to decide the allowable discourse?
Totally agree there. Even people that have years of ML under their belt may have a hard time there. And the cost (and scarcity) of those GPUs really are a major barrier to entry.

>Some musicians are just too talented for the mainstream.

The mainstream is a limiting factor in all talent. Not just music. This is because: information wants to be free. It is the mainstream which sets those restrictions.
Why does the out of the box voltage is so high though? And as far as I see it is something set by the motherboard manufacturer. Like it varies to brand to brand and betwee chipsets too (Z/H/B). Chasing that +5-10% performance doesn't seem to worth that much when the power consumption and temps go so high (so more noise from the fans, more CPU fan power consumption too etc)

Same with the P1/P2 limits. By default on my motherboard it was 253w/unlimited. Which is crazy when the Intel defaults are 125w/181w (at least that's publicly available on the data sheet)

I at least wish Intel would show somewhere what are the default voltage numbers. Or the motherboard manufacturer's should be more "law abiding", a simple "Enforce Intel factory defaults" should be more than enough.

> Don't get mad at someone else because of your own families path

Should I get mad at my family? This part is not clear to me.

You are also saying this like it's possible for everyone to become wealthy, if only they were picking one of these three options. Not every family can be wealthy - the wealthy make sure of it. It's a zero-sum game (well, more of a negative-sum game? as wealth becomes more concentrated at the top).

Actually, the more I think about it, the less I see how these are three different options. For me as an individual, #3 comes down to inheriting wealth that someone else generated with #1, which is just #2 + luck.
I don't know Gleam at all but doesn't this beg the question here...

|> iterator.from_list()
|> iterator.map(Friend)
|> iterator.map(friend.to_display)
|> print_things_from_an_iterator()

This only prints Friend types. How would you loop through a collection of several types and display them? In other languages they could all implement the interface. Perhaps you could have several to_display functions that handle each type but I'm not sure that's valid in Gleam. It would need runtime type checking. In this example to_display is a member function.

This page outlines the rights of the person being laid off, there are a couple other pages out there that outline the responsibilities of the company[1]. Among other things there is a requirement to notify the UK government if they plan to let go of 20 or more employees. It's clearly stated[2] that this information goes directly to job assistance and training for the unemployed.

It's up for debate but I do think this indicates that the UK government is concerned about companies laying off a large number of people. In my opinion, this and the rules around the fair selection process are designed to make mass layoffs less attractive to companies.

In regards to how the activities of a company like Google appear to any regional government, I do think the two most important functions of that company are to employ people in the region and pay taxes to the regional government. They do not seem vague to me and, in this case, we have laws on both sides: some that deal with taxes and others that deal with employment and layoffs.

All this sounds great to me. Not everything needs to be security locked down; the last thing I need is a camera that demands a PIN or a fingerprint to open up its storage and take or view pictures (e.g. by encrypting the SD card). I'd much rather have one where I can rig up useful features thanks to these "security holes".
This is a great application. My example use case was to upload a REIT quarterly report (in Spanish) and ask questions that I am interested in about it.

I felt that at this point, it was more the "potential" than what it actually did. I asked some questions that it just couldn't answer. Also, at some point it started answering in English even though all my conversation with it had been in Spanish.

A rule of thumb in classical mechanics is that 0.1c is when you should start taking (special) relativity into account, I think it’s 0.5% contribution then.

For general relativity I don’t know such a cutoff rule of thumb. Astronomy-wise, Mercury is the only planet that is obviously general-relativistic (its orbit is not an ellipse because it’s so close to the sun). On Earth, we don’t have strong/inhomogeneous enough gravity, so unless you’re synchronizing satellites or atomic clocks, GR is not something to worry about.

It's because Americans have no awareness of what is going on in India. Just in general the US tends to be focused internally, except major wars which do get peoples attention. Partially to blame is the US government, it's been a trade off to keep India as close as possible with China looming so the usual pushback you would see isn't there, and that leads to less coverage in the media. For the most part it seems allying with India is the best option given the tough circumstances for the US despite what is happening there.
Integrating an accelerator into a dishwasher is also expensive. How many inferences are you going to get out of it before the hardware is outdated? Once a day for 5 years may not be enough to justify the cost. Compare that to having a single GPU in a server in your house that services all your IoT devices, which can be readily upgraded and requires no special software. The is no benefit to doing inference on device unless you are in the business of selling said devices.

The US is obviously the global Big Dog, but NATO's got three other top-ten-by-expenditure militaries in it, plus two more of the very-small count of global nuclear powers (Britain, France), and three of maybe a half-dozen countries with notable navies that aren't the US (Britain, France, Italy). Expanding to look at the top-20 by expenditure, you pick up another five entries that are NATO members.

The rest of NATO gives you basically another China's worth of military (they're #2 by spending), so it's not nothing, to put it mildly.

The geography controlled by and the economic power of the bloc is also important, for logistical reasons. Having not just open trade and maybe some donations in wartime but outright military support for your supply lines is huge, plus intel sharing and such.
Adding hardware capable of running an LLM would significantly increase the price of appliances, not sure that's a win for consumers.

I’m not sure I agree with that explanation of the color subcarrier.

The color subcarrier is modulated to a higher frequency, but on an old B&W TV, there are no pixels, only lines. The color subcarrier can appear as a pattern superimposed over the picture if it is not filtered out with a low-pass filter—and indeed, B&W TVs made after the advent of color television contain such a filter, which can be removed if you want to use the TV as a higher-resolution monitor for your home computer (ask how I know...)

The two chroma channels are, however, “rotated”, similar to the way mid-side encoding is done. You take a YUV signal, you extract the chrominance UV channels, and then you rotate them to IQ channels. The I and Q channels are then quadrature modulated with different amounts of bandwidth assigned to the I and Q channels. The I channel gets, like, 3x as much bandwidth.

Since filesystems introduced dynamic inode count it hasn't really been a problem. I remember ages ago you had to format filesystem in certain way if you wanted a lots of small files (say news or email server), but the need of that went away with better filesystems and growing storage sizes.

On their side it's most likely on the number of entries in database, which usually is more than just storage cost.
