I'm not a very active person myself so I'm probably not your target market but I know a lot of people who are.

I actually moved from San Francisco to Croatia and when looking at your local map of my city here I was amazed at the detail. Super local detail which is rare but valuable when trying to plan things away from your home.

My advice would be to go to city expat Facebook Groups and post about it there. I live in Split, Croatia and there are at least 5 expat and digital nomad facebook groups and they are full of people who go would use your product.

Good luck!

Bizarre.
There's a difference between organic and forced diversity.

When someone starts out with bullet-point one devoted to orthogonal social issues and not the actual goals of the foundation and how to reach them, it's fairly clear where they stand.
“Not that difficult”?

Can you elaborate? Because I think it’s nearly insurmountable.

Is the sentence “Meagan Smith graduated magma cum laude from Northwestern’s business program in 2004” PII? How about if another part of the corpus says “M. Smith had a promising career in business after graduating with honors from a prestigious school, but an unplanned pregnancy caused her to quit her job in 2006”?

Does it matter if it’s from fiction? What if the fiction it comes from uses real people? Or if there might be both real and fictional Meagan Smiths?

And how so you process that kind of thing at the scale of billions of documents?

This is a very hard problem, especially at scale.

Yeah, there should be two redirects. The first is searching for the URL you entered, the second should either newly cache the page, or load the cached page. Same behavior as firefox.

If this is not what you are seeing, please open an issue on the github at:

So I can keep track of issues encountered.

Thanks!
> I was expecting to see this, there is nothing more corporations would like more then to see him gone. Then they can take full control of the FSF, already they have their hands in it.

That's amazingly over-optimistic IMO. Stallman hasn't been relevant in decades. Companies don't fear him. The FSF is as far as I can tell politically irrelevant.

Just look at even the nerdiest sites: HN, Slashdot, the Linux-centric subreddits. Nobody talks about what Stallman is doing today unless it's the old "Do we need a new FSF leader?" topic. Even that pops up infrequently to be then forgotten. Most of the time you see him brought up is in a historic sense, like your reference to the Right To Read, which is from 1997. I frequent all the places I listed, and from my activity there I haven't the faintest idea what Stallman or the FSF are up to.

If that's the state in the places that would be most interested in what Stallman/the FSF have to say, then in further away areas things are just dire and their influence is probably close to nonexistent.

I think Stallman did excellent and valuable work. But he just doesn't make an effective leader at this point. I think he'd make a far better "guru". The FSF should shove him to the side to some sort of consulting role, and give the role of the public face to somebody who can communicate more effectively.

And in any case, that's going to be needed on a pretty short timeframe anyway, since the man is just old. He can't do this forever, so there has to exist a worthy successor.

Germany wasn't defeated in WW1 on the Eastern Front, I think; and I believe that Hitler's attack on Europe in WW2 was incidental to his true goal, which was to occupy Poland and Ukraine. He didn't want to start a punch-up with the British Empire, and he initially thought Britain and Germany could be buddies.
There is no reason that this has to be true.

Assess your startup fundability (angel round to Series A(
Hey everyone,

I just built a Fundability calculator for early-stage startups. It's v1 and I intend to improve it over time.

You just enter information about your team, product, traction, and funding situation, and you get ranked as follows:
- Top 1%: Outstanding
- Top 10%: Solid
- Top 50%: Not bad
- Below: The struggle is real

I launched it today and 225 startups have already taken the test.

Would love some brutal feedback: https://fundability.app/
Now you have to go around shooting every cow, terrorizing locals, and giving the enemy ammo for propaganda purposes. Shooting every cow also gives away your position.
If they calculate that the gap would be filled with mostly fossil when new generation is overwhelmingly renewable, and building new renewables is cheaper than running existing coal plants, then they've made a mistake.

Specifically, it looks like they're using the grid makeup as of 2015 to calculate what would be used if nuclear disappeared overnight.
Copyright is anti-capitalist. It's a state-granted and state-enforced monopoly on intellectual property (which is itself a legal fiction). I'm about as anti-communist and anti-socialist as they come, and I still support the free software movement because I see the current state of software licensing (not to mention issues with hardware ownership etc.) as rent-seeking by those who do not want to have to compete in the free market without the force of the state backing them up. It also undermines individual property rights.

Whether or not the FSF is still the best champion for this cause is a different matter, but I support anyone pushing against the world of proprietary software.
I’m trying to think through the obvious retort that it’s programming. I guess you can’t quite say it’s programming like python (for example) is programming because in Python the creators explicitly defined everything about the language and created a concrete API for programming with it. With ChatGPT, no one knows what’s going on inside and the API is just guesswork.

I think this is an indication that it’s not only not programming (at least like we know it) but that we’re actually dealing with some sort of AI (maybe already obvious, but this really drives it home). It’s more like asking a programmer to program something than it is to program. Prompt engineering is requirements gathering.

> What if copilot can write code with only 50% more bugs than an engineer?

Is it only in the “AI gonna take my job” discussions that programmers insist on calling themselves “engineers” or is this just a recent phenomena?

A bit off topic (but not really) and I know I’ll get downvoted (because, yeah…) but somehow the tide has turned from “programmer” to “software engineer” to just “engineer”.

Just think it’s strange.
Truth is, and this applies to all companies regardless of size, is that you don't have to be first, best, biggest, fastest, or most well-known in order to win market share that out-paces your investment. The AI pie is going to be very, very big. To estimate this size, let's take McKinseys rough estimates of job displacement (~30% of ~60% of jobs, ~20% of work) and use that to estimate the actualized [US, apologies] GDP that can at some point be attributed to AI: it is in the 4-5 trillion range using today's figures.

To say a market that large will be owned by only 4-5 companies doesn't make sense. Let's take the PC market for example: there are roughly 6 companies that make up ~80% of the market, sure. However, let's look at a tiny participant compared to the total market (~65B): iBuyPower at rank #77 had sales of 40MM or 0.06% (small, expected) of the market with a much smaller capital investment. If look at this percent compared to 5T, we would be at 3B. While the 5B investment stated in the headline could result in a lower ranking and smaller share, the point stands that there is still a lot of money to be made on the long tail. Even if Anthropic fails, there will be other companies with similar infusions that succeed.
Code Easter Eggs: 7 Secrets Hidden in Programming Languages
The previous attempt of removing him was executed as an appalling witch-hunt. Yes, Stallman is insensitive, but when people saw something more insensitive being done to him, they sided with him.

I'm all in for finding a replacement for Stallman, but that must be done in a more careful manner.
Impressive amounts of investments. How can they know they are "10 times more capable" before they have trained the model? Anyone has a clue on why their model will end up being that better?
> I am not calling for non-proportional representation, or for forcing proportional representation either.

Then what, precisely, are you calling for when you call for more surface-level diversity in the leadership? How do you achieve proportional representation without manual manipulation?

And why do you think that DEI is the first problem worth listing? If we're criticizing Stallman as an unpopular and uncharismatic leader, it seems like his documented history of comments about child molestation should be #1, not vague hand waving over race and sex.
I do agree that 'engineering' is an extremely offensive term to use for ... essentially 'how to ask for something with context'.
The moment Europe decided to regulate tech, it decided in effect to stagnate. Innovation and creativity are incompatible with regulation. Unfortunately for us, tech is where progress happens currently. Europe is being left behind. Not that it was very competitive in the first place anyway.
I'd like you to look at what you just typed in reference to a product like the iPhone that turned Apple into a trillion dollar company. There were smartphones before the iPhone, but the iPhone redefined the market and all phones after that point use it as the reference.

This is also good practice for when you need to find a job, which often requires interfacing with people that have little familiarity with your PhD topic but have access to those that do (e.g., recruiters, business owners).
This has happened already, look at Open Source Initiative, Software Freedom Conservancy and others.
This is not true at all. Supply lines have existed as long as organised armies have existed. Many major military campaigns have made use of supply depots, supply ports, supply trains (on pulled wagons, long before what we now call trains existed), etc. Napoleon also made use of them. Only, it's very expensive, and it's a lot cheaper to live off the land. Only living off the land also takes time, so if you want to move fast, arranging your supplies up front allows your army to move faster. But long supply lines deep into enemy territory are incredibly expensive, as well as vulnerable to raids. Which means you need to protect them, which makes them even more expensive.

It was not logistically impossible, it was incredibly expensive. And more so the deeper into enemy territory you get. But plenty of armies throughout history did bring their own supplies.
> Is it only in the “AI gonna take my job” discussions that programmers insist on calling themselves “engineers” or is this just a recent phenomena

Not sure what your standard of “recent” is, but I’ve seen the usage and debate of the “engineer” title since I started programming.
You're forgetting that AI has not been trained on YouTube yet and that's the next big thing. Multi-modality still has a lot of gas left in it.
I did similar when I was planning to move. The new place was just a block away from my old address and my ISP told me my new address does not exist. After more than a month of arguing with their customer service people and being told there is nothing they can do, and with time running out for my move date, I got lucky. I somehow found the email address of a vice president at the company. After one thoughtfully crafted and well targeted email, 45 minutes later I had a supervisor and a technician at my house to do a site survey.
> We're giving the agents step-by-step instructions about how to think, and handling tasks like book-keeping memories and modeling the environment outside the interaction loop.

Sure, but this process seems amenable to automation based on the self-reflection that's already in the model. It's a good example of the kinds of prompts that drive human-like behaviour.
A lot has changed (grown) in the 5+ years since that was published.
Mozilla's servo seemed to be done in this fashion, so that some components were later brought to gecko/Firefox, so presumably you can do it.
What significant, tangible accomplishments does Stallmann have in the past 15 years? Because even before the controversy, it seems like he:

* Presided over and actively contributed to the decline of GCC and gave up the world of compiler-based-tools and compiler research to LLVM by insisting on making it impossible to use GCC as a library. Pissed off the emacs maintainers in the process.

* Pissed off the glibc maintainers by trying to veto the removal of an abortion joke from the manual, even though he's had no involvement in glibc for years and "veto" is not a reasonable power for him to have nor one that he has ever had. On this basis a lot of other maintainers got pissed off about the level of control he was demanding over details that have nothing to do with software freedom

* Has done absolutely nothing to address any threat to free software since 2005, or otherwise adapt to the changing needs of developers to keep FSF/GNU relevant. RMS has no idea what those needs even are because the man reads his email with curl.

And now he's been back for a while, and nothing continues to happen, and the FSF is increasingly irrelevant year over year without even taking optics into consideration.
Does anyone else see the "In X years time we'll have something Y times better than the competition has today" as a bit of a red flag? I saw this before in a product plan and it flagged up 2 things that really worried me. Firstly, the competition were already ahead of us, and they're obviously going to continue developing their stuff, so it's great to promise our thing will be better than their thing today but we're not competing against that, we're competing against what they'll have once time has passed. And secondly, by measuring yourself against the leading edge today you're eliding how much you're going to improve. For example, Anthropic say they'll be 10x better than leading models today in 18 months. That sounds acheivable right (no actually) but you don't even have to do that - because you aren't starting with the market leading model, so you have to catch up first and then 10x it so are they 10x or 20x or 100x in 18 months?
> an LLM gets it right most of the time

And so do humans. Don't forget that there's plenty of SEO copy writing out there about all kinds of dangerous things that is wrong because the writer didn't understand the topic, couldn't be bothered to copy correctly, changed the meaning while "rewriting" a text etc.

The same goes for quality, imho. Everybody thinks they're a terrific writer, but most writing on websites sucks, most documentation sucks, most FAQs are lacking severely and use vague language in answers that add confusion rather than remove it. I'm not sure if LLMs will really lower the average quality there.

I share your concern about correctness, I just wanted to emphasize that "a human wrote this" does not indicate "this is well-researched and was factually correct at the time of writing".

Using nuclear deterrence as an example. Yes, it is effective at avoiding battle but if you get nuked you must effectively wipe the aggressor's country off the map so it can continue to deter future aggressors and MAD can continue to be relevant. You can't hold back because of the enormous civilian casualties. The only thing important is to make sure that will be the last nuclear war and that no one thinks about using nukes against you. This is entirely possible for example with US vs NK or maybe even China (or if they ever achieve effective icbm interception...anyone)

It's got none of the problems all the different official front ends have.
Board games are definitely more interesting now, for the most part (with some exceptions...like I do think The Witness is more interesting than just about any board game I've played or designed).

Most of the big video games now are just movies that let you walk or drive around, jump on or climb things, and shoot or swing weapons periodically. Indie games have a bit more experimentation, but most still follow this formula, but with simpler graphics.

Board games still experiment with different and interesting mechanisms, like different takes on set collection, drafting, cooperative play, engine building, worker placement, auctions, logic and deduction, etc.
That's 80 percent of my job as a software engineer. Sure, I'm not an "engineer", but few find the term software engineer offensive.
The vast majority of the complexity is in the engine. One can whip up reasonable chrome (browser UI) in whatever UI framework one prefers in a few days tops. While there are slightly more involved parts like writing the bookmarks and history systems, those are pretty run of the mill tasks that can be completed in a relatively short period of time.

>We need more leaders of color, women, LGBTQ representation, and others...

That is dangerous mindset, so dangerous that I think the article is just trolling, trying to trigger people. But in case if author was serious, choosing leadership or any position for tha matter, should be based on their vision, skill, the weight of their respect is set community rather that on their sexual orientation, color of their skin, country of origin and ect.
Discrimination needs to go. And this writing, suggests discrimination based on race or sexuality and gender.

I'll be honest I stopped reading after that point. From the beginning the ranting was already a salt mine, but kinda wanted to see what direction they were going with it.
It's unbelievably childish and unprofessional.
And a big moat is going to be safety... and specifically configuration of safety.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if the major API-based vendors start leaning in on making their safety config proprietary.

If a business has already sunk XXXX hours into ensuring a model meets their safety criteria for public-facing use, they'd rather upgrade to a newer model from the same vendor that guarantees portability of that, versus having to reinvest and recertify.

Ergo, the AI PaaS that dominate at the beginning will likely continue to dominate.

It is amazing that in the year 2023, where things are possible that were science fiction until recently, we still rely on private payment processors, credit card companies, which extract fees for a service that doesn't have any technical necessity anymore. I think the reason is just inertia. They work well enough in most cases, and the fees aren't so high as to be painful, so there is little pressure to switch to something more modern.
