> Today, my base salary is $175K, no bonus, no stock refresh since the founder grant, fully vested stock, no severance, no indemnification.

Here is your problem.

Some founders milk company directly on bonuses and pay, there is no "grand exit" when they go public. I think you may be subconsciously aware of that, maybe there is some hidden regret or self-hate etc... Continuing with this frugality may not be way forward.

I would suggest:

- get out of NY, some nice environment near sea or forest, work remotely

- prepare for your exit. Move out of NY to minimize income tax etc..

- can you actually become CEO? If not, it is not your business anymore, not your problem

- find way to increase your take-home money. For start you could pay yourself for overtimes. Maybe if you move out of NY, you may need office there and so on...

- personal brand is worth quite a lot. Maybe there is way to use this startup to build your own.
Orrr, the grid is moved towards renewable energy so that the fear of global warming doesn't stunt technological advancements?
The usual suspects: LinkedIn, Indeed, Workable and a few other local job boards. I'm part of a professional contractor network too, which helps a lot.
No, that is not wrong. Nor is it wrong to dislike what a company does and try to get them to change.
As a consumer, within some definition of reason, I would be ok with taking "good enough" for $200 and then just doing another $200 for more work to improve on that, as it's own new distinct job.

At these levels it's not such a concern about getting stuck with a bad job. You just don't use that developer again and the $200 didn't wipe out your company.

I've commissioned jobs like that on freelancer sites for a lot more and pretty much did the same thing. Paid someone else to rework it or reworked it myself. I wouldn't use them again, but I did still get enough of what I needed and the job got done.

I guess it goes the other way too. Let's say I'm uncommonly generous and most other consumers will be much more demanding and try to get away with whatever they can. So the same thing as a provider. You get burned by one buyer for $200, you just don't service them any more but otherwise don't worry about the chance too much.
Well, your father cares for a good reason about AM reception when driving through the Rockies/Sierras in snowy weather.

Closures take their place in many languagrs. Gcc supports nested functions in C as an extension, though, and I agree it's nice.
> Is there any Researcher who maintains that LLM models contain Reasoning and intent?

Researchers with jobs that depend on promulgating this belief. E.g., "Open"AI employees.
I would argue that the genius in the prusa printer is not directly that its calibrated - its in little details that become obvious once you have experience them during upgrades of your own printer.

Say the magnetic bed and the elimination of bed springs. Or where exactly stepper motors are placed. Details of cooling fan ducting.

If you add good calibration to that you end up with a very well working printer.

this means that if you copy it exactly the printer will work well even with inferior parts. So companies that are cheap and innovate are punished and do not know why exactly.
My git client can talk to any remote origin, who cares? Good on this kid for the clout chase though. Being upset with AI is just comedy at this point...
The UK was a bit slow to get going but is going in the right direction at a reasonable pace now. Openreach has been doing a rollout covering most people and the DCMS voucher scheme is funding independents to fill in the gaps.

I believe there will still be a rural segment relying on cellular for a while yet, but it's a shrinking minority.
A few people have said the same thing, why not bring costs down.

130M in ARR and you can't save 1M a month in burn? what is holding you back from letting go ~60 people and/or trimming other costs?

Raising on those terms, that dilution and no board seat, I would not do it.
I'm doing exactly what you asked.

> What exactly are the downsides of owning a bike that you don't have owning a e-scooter?

You said OWNING a bike. Now you suddenly seem to talk about rented bikes.

The argument around "rented vehicle being left anywhere" can be made for bikes. If you only argue for bikes that can be left at a station, then it's definitely worse than e-scooters. If the bike can be locked like e-scooters, without the need of an exciting station, then people will end up complaining just as much and ban them with the same reasoning.

> Not sure why you call me close minded, I never mentioned any of those "alternatives" you mention. I walk to most places I go to, as I currently live in a walkable metropolitan city in Europe.

Lol. How much and how long do you actually walk? I live in a metropolitan city in europe too (and have lived in multiple ones and travelled to many) and it can be called walkable, using the ridiculous US standards.

I love hiking and will walk long distances or, when I actually have a bike, bike longer but it's not practical in your day to day, to walk more than 2k, if you're pressed for time.

Also, if you're leaving a place in one end of the city at 2 am, when public transport options thin out, you're not going to walk 20/30km.

It's very easy to live in a well connected place and move very little and claim "I walk everywhere". It's also very selfish and lacks empathy with other realities.

But hey, it's an uphill battle to discuss things that affect real people in HN where it's all about "I'm sorted" and "The narrative says this is correct".
What board?
Midjourney has no investors. No shareholders.

He’s only beholden to himself. And proud of it.

Ever heard of ZRAM under Linux? KVM settings with RAM deduplication?
I'm aware of the differences. I just wanted to provide an example of censorship that is more aligned with cultural values to provide a counter-example to the thread that violating such laws can never be exclusionary.

There are are similar laws that involve depictions of The Buddha, monks etc here that would fall into the same category. I imagine this is less contentious for Western observers because religion is often a protected class in Western nations too.

The idea of the head of state being immune to criticism however hits a political sore spot however and triggers these sorts of standoff views.

I just feel this sort of nuance is lost on primarily American audiences. The world isn't homogenous and at least here in Thailand values are significantly different for better or worse.
Depends on the hardware being targeted.
>The police are liable if they don't follow-up on the report

Since when?

The police have zero duty to protect anyone or otherwise enforce the law in any way; they already don't bother investigating a good chunk of smaller thefts and will just stand around while crowds torch buildings and shootings continue inside their perimeter.

They have a lot of discretion; I suggest they exercise it.

>All they have to do is prove there was some negligence which is a very low bar.

Most people are agreeable enough that their first response isn't a life-and-death dash to the nearest lawyer. This is generally a mistake, but they really don't know better.

>reports are often tailored to be vague by the neighbor to ensure a confrontation with police.

"Swatting" and more indirect cases of vexatious litigation are criminal offenses for a reason (even if nobody gets hurt).
Karen is guilty of violating these laws; it's time to get serious about enforcing them.
This was a sensible response. China, unlike the U.S, will focus its resources on destroying Midjourney and the lives of people running it. Don't think for a moment that the U.S. government will protect your business, you or your family. Pick your battles wisely and decide whether freedom of speech involving Winnie the Xi Jinping are worth protecting.
why do you have to cut revenue? you can't continue your current ARR while cutting costs? trimming people/infra? maintenance mode for a while until you can ring better operational efficiencies out?
The manual encourages bad SSH practices.

The server could collect SSH public keys and use GitHub to resolve them to GitHub users to deanonymize users.

To protect yourself against this kind of problems:

1. Put this block at the end of ~/.ssh/config:

Host *
ForwardAgent no
ForwardX11 no
PermitLocalCommand no
# Avoid keys being propose to any SSH server we connect to (ex: whoami.filippo.io)
PubkeyAuthentication no
IdentitiesOnly yes
AddKeysToAgent no

2. Use a separate private SSH key for each organization you connect to. You must create a config entry to tell OpenSSH to use it. Ex:

Host shhhbb.com
PubkeyAuthentication yes
IdentitiesOnly yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id@shhhbb.com

I feel like the Nvidia chips from NV1-NV3 were doing a take on this idea IIRC. My memory is foggy and would really love to see the documentation again. Possibly it survived on beyond the original chips?

I'm not entirely sure if it was just the driver API or the actual hardware that supported objects but definitely they were trying to abstract it that way.

I found this through googling "redesigned PGRAPH objects, introducing the concept of object class in hardware"

Very nice.

I think that the explanation given for why the water stops flowing [1] is wrong. It has likely less to do with the surface tension "on the lip" (see video) and more with the fact that that all air bubbles in the maze become pressurized and their cumulative pressure is enough to push back on the water trying to get into the maze and prevent it from flowing in.

I do agree though that it's a rather unexpected behavior.

I believe the goal is to build a minimal UI for those that don't prefer which is fine, but email & pull requests aren't the only model here. Look how much tooling is created to try to fit stack-based diffs atop Git+GitHub instead of using a different platform.

> That's the spirit here

not really.

All this Free Software movement started by something really similar to "right to repair", a firmware bug in a printer that was proprietary software.
Free Software is about being in control of software you use. The spirit was never "contribute back to GNU", the spirit was always "if you take GNU software, you can't make it non-free". Those GNU devs at the time just wanted a good and actually free/libre OS, that would remain free no matter who distributed it.

You are using expectations of modern day devs in the world of a lot of social development thanks to Github.

You might claim that GP was using the technicalities of the licences, but you can actually check the whole FSF philosophy an you note that they align perfectly with "giving forward" not "giving back".

Free Software is about user's freedom. Not dev rights, or politeness, etc.
Now obviously, some devs picked up copyleft licenses with the purpose of improving their own software from downstream changes (Linus states that is the reason he picked GPL), but that's a nice side effect, not the purpose. Which ofc, with popular social sharing platforms like github, those things gets confused.
Wronger Than Wrong
If you use the Visual Studio build system the way it's designed to be used and use vcpkg to manage your third party libraries, then C++ on Windows is pretty great, even when using the free version of Visual Studio.

Trying to force a UNIX shaped build environment and development setup into a Windows shaped hole on the other hand can be a pain.
> Docker is making development from the ground up be OS agnostic.

Docker is not really OS agnostic, on macOS or Windows it involves some kind of Linux VM.

Very unclear statement...
>Should a company be allowed to own slaves?

No, because slavery is illegal.

>Should a company be allowed to do business with a company that owns slaves?

They do, all the time. Manufacturing, mining (particularly of the rare earth metals that go into electronics) and agriculture all depend on slave labor.
You need to buy time. Right now your biggest priority is to stop losing money. Can you cut expenses or staff? Can you raise prices without losing all your customers? Can you get more customers? You need to act as if financing will not be available to you, because in honesty it might not be.

If you don't figure this out within the next few weeks, you will find yourself without any options and will need to either close the company or take whatever lowball offer you can get.
That probably has simple practical reasons, as more and more screens are wide today.
This is a pattern of argument I see all the time in minority communities, and it really irks me the wrong way.

You are allowed to care about the things you care about and not have a concrete well-informed opinion on something related that might be more pressing. It only becomes hypocricy as soon as you actively dismiss the other thing as if you were well-informed. And I don't see anyone here doing that.
Nice display of arrogance there.
From the Github page:

Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. This program, driven by GPT-4, autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth. As one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously, Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

The following seems either insanely buzzwordy or profound: "autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth". Why "to increase net worth"?
The Again button is so clever!
the one city i have seen e scooters work perfectly is Tallinn. after hating them in berlin, it took some getting used to, but it takes a certain balance of smooth and wide enough sidewalks/ streets, limit of pedestrian and car density, commonly accepted rules like parking spots and maybe some mentality. you see way more scooters than bicycles here and it seems to be the standard transportation mode after cars. even children mostly have little (non e) scooters instead of little bicycles.
"Technological advancements" is a term that is open to interpretation. To many, it means advancements in terms of reducing CO2 emissions.

The last thing I read on HN was something about boobs overtaking the Stable Diffusion community, so yeah, I'm a little uncomfortable too.
Satellite connectivity for emergencies will be just that, for emergencies. Technology will have to progress greatly (which, 10 years could do it) before "for emergencies" will include "you get data connectivity to tell you details of the road conditions" like you're imagining. In the interim, AM radios are still necessary.
I feel like hallucinations in the LLM sense is something we do a lot too. It's also where I feel people can come up with good ideas and different perspectives.

Many times in my life I've explained a solution to a problem to someone else, they say something like "oh that's genius! we can just do X Y Z!", but actually it's not what I meant and instead their solution is much better and often simpler than mine. Same thing has happened in reverse too of course.

One time I even hallucinated the meaning behind a song with my partner. We thought it was about the tragedy of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb, but actually it was about the first time snow falls in a city. I really had to double check many times when my friend told me the original meaning behind the song. Once I realized everything clicked as if I had watched a movie with a big reveal to the mystery at the end.

Maybe it's not useful in a LLM, but I think it can be a beautiful thing about humans.
Ok so you don't have an actual counter argument to what I said and instead you revert the tiered old 'but but but nuclear waste' nonsense argument.
In his work on memetics Daniel Dennett does a poor job of negotiating the territory between philosophy and science. The analytic tools he has as a philosopher aren’t of much use in building accounts of the psychological and social mechanisms that underlie cultural processes. The only tool Dennett seems to have at his disposal is analogy. That’s how he builds his memetics, by analogy from biology on the one hand and computer science on the other. These analogies do not work very well. To formulate an evolutionary account of culture one needs to construct one’s gene and phenotype analogues directly from the appropriate materials, neurons and brains in social interaction. Dennett doesn’t do that. Instead of social interaction he has an analogy to apps loading into computers. Instead of neurons he has homuncular agents that are suspiciously like his other favorite homuncular agents, memes. It doesn’t work.
this is fun!
Can't believe how often I see this sentiment, and how nonsensical it is.

We're private citizens, nothing prevents us from criticizing them for a wide variety of reasons. If you want to restrict yourself and ignore everything except the literal function of the product, you're free to do that, but you can't argue everyone else has to do the same.

Or is your argument that we have some kind of social responsibility to judge products based on exclusively on what the product does, but the product has no social responsibility whatsoever? That's a double standard that can't have any justification.
I do. We don't use Ubuntu / Fedora. We use the stone-age RHEL/CentOS distros. AND we have NVidia drivers to worry about almost everyday. And all our work-arounds go away as soon as IT updates the Linux Kernel. That never happens on Windows machines. It's such a PIA, among other problems that of-course our IT doesn't have any knowledge of, so we have to find the solutions ourselves.
You can make a maze with only one path (other than paths that double back on themselves), but has three pieces: https://i.imgur.io/R4j6TH3_d.png

I think this is basically a flaw in the intuitive definition (or maybe only my intuitive definition) of "doubling back".
This made me realize I have no MP3s anymore :(
> Malmo, Sweden; where I live, has excellent cycling infrastructure and the scooter "problem" is really miniscule.

It could be that what can turn e-scooters from an amenity to a menace is tourism.

Malmö would hardly be on the map as an international touristic destination. This means that e-scooter users are mostly locals. Which in turns means (a) that e-scooters would typically be a complementary mean of personal mobility, (b) there will be relatively few e-scooters.

Paris OTOH, is #1 city tourist destination in the world. It also happens to have a lot of car traffic. This (a) makes moving with an e-scooter convenient, (b) makes deploying a huge number of e-scooters for-rent a very lucrative business, (c) the number of e-scooters is inflated to cater to the tourist clientele. Add to this that many tourists may be unfamiliar with Parisian traffic and norms, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Meanwhile I am sitting here with a 5 year old windows/linux laptop and will probably continue using it for another 5 years. It still has a hidpi, HDR, ips display, great keyboard, 16gb of ram, 2tb of nvme storage and weighs the same as a current MacBook pro of the same size.

I highly doubt you can find any $1500+ laptop that is "unusable after 2". I might want to pick up a new one with a 3:2 oled display or more ram at some point, but that is want not need.

You'd be surprised!

Cars are an incredibly inefficient way of transportation. You can easily fit 10x as many bikes in the same space as a car lane. By building a viable biking / scooter infrastructure you reduce the amount of cars on the road, which more than makes up for the space required by this infrastructure.

Besides, car-heavy tend to be designed quite badly. Planners have a tendency to design for the worst-case scenario, so you end up with communities which legally require a 40-foot wide street in a quiet residential area. You simply don't need that much space!
Here’s the difference: is Holz banning the production of images of the King?
Sam Altman wants to convince billions to scan eyes to prove they aren’t bots
Yeah, it seems to me (not an expert!) that energy will cost less and less over time, both in terms of how much you pay and how much CO2 is produced, thus CO2 production won't have much relation to image compression.
Starlink is delivering internet to otherwise off-grid homes... Solar+battery tech has made power lines not only unnecessary, but in some states arguably not worth the fire risk anymore.
> Now a last misconception is that this ban is bad because people will revert to cars. No they won't. In the first place, people riding rental e-scooters do not replace a car trip by a rental e-scooter trip

This is a hard one to qualify completely. There is a lot of statistical evidence that infers that greater usage of e-Scooters and e-Bikes decreases car traffic. That may not be the case in Paris (and I can definitely see that being true) but it does go against everything we know statistically.

There are other points though, "last mile" is a difficult problem, it's not solved with bicycles (they are too onerous to take on public transport, and they are a huge target of theft), it's not solved with rental bicycles either (they are usually very few and far between).

Last-mile is most likely solved with personal e-scooters as they are much more acceptable to take on public transport and can be taken inside so they are a lot less steal-able. The problem with this is that personal e-scooters are significantly less regulated than the "all-seeing-eye" rental ones which impose restrictions on speed (20kph in Sweden, personal vehicles can be modified to go 30kph, legal maximum is 25kph and personal e-scooters all go this speed -- with no slow zones anywhere)
Even at random stranger cars (which I expect to be the case, you don't throw stones on cars of people you actually know, not under normal circumstances)? Ie I am a tourist and driving around and I like some older parts of town.

What is it with people generally that make them feel above others, forcing their viewpoints on everybody else as the only truth? People should generally travel far and exotic more, it changes folks for the better rather than their own micro echo chambers
