There is a class of content that is not interesting enough and requires too much work to be maintained by hobbyists. Perhaps you will always find people willing to write interesting content about vintage computers, but you won't find many people who want to write about the intricacies of local bureaucracy, the tax system, and other boring-but-necessary topics.

Donations just don't work, and people should stop pretending they do. I make literally 100 times more from affiliate marketing than I do from donations. If I had no integrity, that multiple would be even bigger.

Let me put this another way: the bare minimum level of affiliate marketing covers all my expenses. Donations don't ever buy groceries. I could not put this much effort into my work if I had to get another job to put food on the table.

5 cents. Per resume. $500 per 10k. 1-3 hours of a fully loaded engineers salary per year. You are being criminally cheap.
Why? AR lowers are ludicrously cheap and common. You're going to need a generally "rifle-like" form factor for ease of use, so why not go with the most common design, and save money on things like pistol grips, buttstocks, etc?

Something to keep in mind - how many of the games that work have been played to completion? Too often, "working" means the initial areas in the game work.
The country was founded on the notion that individual liberty was the most important concern. It's right there in the text. You can have equality of rights under law (yes please!) without infringing on other's rights to live as they please. Expand the scope of liberty, but leave the definition alone.

> nobody expects the same laissez-faire approach that worked for a country of 100,000 to work today, right?

This argument supposes that the only factor in liberty is scale. It seems to be far more complicated than that - there are far smaller and far more collectivist nations.

The point is that you can jettison racism (or any other kind of inequality) while leaving the racists alone. All people need to be is equal under law.

> For what liberty can a man truly have

Being free doesn't mean you're entitled to relationships (personal or professional) with others. It means you're free to navigate these without interference. Just like every other free person, you are born with nothing. Everything that you obtain you do so by negotiating with people.
Maybe, but probably not.

Some folks I know are citizens and still trying to stay in the company orbit.

My company offers RSU's as a standard part of performance based comp after a certain level - and having talked to recruiters that is the thing which makes it hard to compete with. Huge tech companies just have higher TC than lesser tech companies as a result. I gather this is generally the case at FAANG companies.

> So we are politely asking the Chinese Communist Party to stop spying on us, rather than closing down these outposts ourselves.

I suspect that the countries involved have legal system which require a degree of evidence which may not be available (or which they may prefer not to reveal in the kind of process that would be required, given the possibility of resolving the problem without doing so) yet before forcibly taking action the way, e.g., the US just has, but there is no strict proof threshold for lodging a diplomatic complaint.
It makes sense, though. Google search is terrible. Bing isn't great, either. But Bing probably charges less, and if there's no real quality difference between the two, why pay more?

Sure, I agree they are useful. My objection is it’s more in the tool category than science, while Alphafold is both. There isn’t convincing evidence that GPTs are pushing what we know; rather, they make it easier to process/search what we already know. You could hire an ML expert to be your tutor without GPTs and you’d get equal or better tutoring, though at a higher price. You can’t hire people to predict protein folding better than Alphafold. It’s very convenient that GPTs exist and they can provide tons of value, but they’re essentially the next version of mechanical turk or a domain expert you’d hire for contract work except more scalable. The net impact of GPTs may also be higher due to how often we use text, but I’d rather see a society curing disease, etc. than one generating fake books, etc.

Well the discussion is about phonics, so I was thinking of how none of the letters in "oiseaux" are pronounced. That was pointed out to me by a French colleague. Although he stopped at "oiseau", strangely. Anyway I thought it was a common joke of sorts.

I guess you could argue that there is an "aah" after the "oo", so the "a" in "-eaux" counts, but the "aah" is not pronounced where the "a" is written in the word.

Btw, I can't make a good French accent on a keyboard but: oo-aah-zoh.

i don't understand using that as a source, there's literally a giant banner on it showing that the tweet you linked is wrong

poorly sourced hit pieces aside, go watch an interview where elon walks a journalist engineer through a tesla plant or spacex facility. he clearly knows the engineering that's happening there and there's even videos of him using autocad/solidworks/whatever in a manner that clearly demonstrates he's familiar with the software. Does he sit there designing some small piece of hardware in autocad for months at a time? No, but that also doesn't mean he's not an engineer.

Is cost really that much of a burden?

Intelligence is the single most expensive resource on the planet. Hundreds of individuals have to be born, nurtured, and educated before you might get an exceptional 135+ IQ individual. Every intelligent person is produced at a great societal cost.

If you can reduce the cost of replicating a 135 IQ, or heck, even a 115 IQ person to a few thousand dollars, you're beating biology by a massive margin.

When the App Store first opened, I wondered if Apple would allow an alternative App Store to launch, to carry apps that Apple was unwilling to. I wonder if that solution, instead of a side-loading free-for-all, would 1. Satisfy Europe 2. Protect users 3. Potentially get Apple everything they want.

1. Because Apple wouldn't have a monopoly on app distribution

2. Because there would still be a limited number of players who would need to commit to app review/security.

3. Because users would likely continue to use Apple's App Store almost exclusively, while allowing certain outliers (subscription-dependent apps) a way out.

The arena is saturated, but the quality is garbage. Lots of 3rd party recruiters hiding company names posting the same job everywhere.

If you can keep the quality high for a small-medium group there is money to be made, I imagine (i'm trying to start a job board myself for a tiny group). But just look at anything Pieter Levels has built (remoteok.io) dude has a huge monthly MRR. granted hes a solo founder and SO probably employs many. Also look at Dice.com. They allegedly bring in near 150Million/year! To have a targeted audience in the palm of you hands and throw it out the window is just bad business. SO is really just throwing away money.

> There are potential privacy issues that could be troubling if not managed well...

Like what? This technique seems like it would be one of the least troubling, from a privacy perspective, since a tracking device that was shot at the exterior of your car will be one of the easiest to find and remove later. I'd be much more worried about tracking devices hidden under the car or in a wheel well.
Which are all built on top of the public disclosure of these algorithms, which was required by... the patents!

Prior to RSA being patented, a lot of encryption was proprietary (and probably mostly broken), and nobody could build on top of it. Post-patent, the RSA inventors could publish details and publicize their invention, which led to the alternatives.
One warrant let the Gendarmerie copy all data on EncroChat phones indefinitely, and seemingly let them then use that data for any number of charges. That is kind of messed up. Burying it in "but we have to stop the drugs" doesn't change anything.

For $20k they probably only got a few devices - possibly 1. What are the odds that the police officer with one of these few devices is the officer nearby when a pursuit happens? And they have a partner in their car ready to use the device? Effectively zero.

I think this would be better implemented as a drone which could smash into the car and have the same tracking abilities. Then it could be launched by any officer even if they're not within 35 feet of a car, perhaps steered autonomously or by an officer back at the precinct, or even dropped from a police helicopter.

Embedded systems or firmware dev
Is there a business opportunity here for an independent, transparent 3rd party, (side-loaded or not app)safety inspection/testing service? Right now customers rely on the word of outfits. mostly Google and Apple who make money on your use, that the software they will "allow" you to install is "safe." Yet a lot of malicious crap gets through and sometimes remains available until enough victims post reviews.

A legitimate, transparent and disinterested 3rd party vetting service would not have a stake in whether or not a customer would download or sideload apps - from anywhere.

I see the cloud mostly for startup-ish companies hoping to grow rapidly but which want to avoid large upfront expenses to be ready for said growth.

A stable company where growth as a percentage isn't likely to be significant can run things cheaper on their own in most cases. At least if you consider the cost of the inevitable departure from the cloud provider either to switch another or to go on-prem. And if you aren't willing to make that exit, you can guarantee your cloud provider won't stop cranking up the fees until the threat of you leaving surfaces.

Do you have specifics on size of equity grants and timings and levels?

There are lots of recent counter-examples; I have a relative who joined Uber shortly before IPO, he didn't get much. The pre-IPO valuation was already high and there were enough employees that grant sizes were not large.

Even joining Zoom/Snowflake/Mongo seems like you would've had to time it very well to make sure you got in before the peak and vested in time to sell before the fall.

Some other googling of recent tech IPOs shows a lot of drops: HashiCorp, Confluent, Monday.com, Squarespace... do you retire if you join companies like that just before IPO a few times in a row?

Indeed, December here we made all of 85 KWh, whereas the peak day in April so far produced 68 KWh and I fully expect summer days to be much better than that still. So that's a ratio of 1:30 between winter and summer!

The worst day in April so far was 13 KWh, the worst day in December was 0.3 KWh. So no matter what you do, you'll end up using power from the grid. And no realistic battery system is going to give you three months worth of storage. At best you'll have two days worth, maybe three.

We will need a combination of technologies we have in order to really achieve emergent intelligence.

Humans are comprised of various "subnets" modelling aspects which, in unison, produce self-conciousness and real intelligence. What is missing in the current line of approaches is that we only rely on auto-alignment of subnetworks by machine learning, which scales only up to a point.

If we would produce a model which has

* something akin a LLM as we know it today, which is able to

* store or fetch facts to a short- ("context") or longterm ("memory") storage

* if not in the current "context", query the longterm context ("memory") by keywords for associations, which are one-by-one inserted into the current "context"

* repeat as required until fulfilling some self-defined condition ("thinking")

To me, this is mostly mechanical plumbing work and lots of money.

Also, if we get rid of the "word-boundedness" of LLMs - which we already did to some degree, as shown by the multi-language capabilities - LLMs would be free to roam in the domain of thoughts /s :)

This approach could be further improved by meta-LLMs governing the longterm memory access, providing an "intuition" which longterm memory suits the provided context best. Apply recursion as needed to improve results (paying by exponential training time, but this meta-NN will quite probably be independent of actual training, as real life / brain organization shows).

> The article makes no mention of international law, or of extraterritoriality.

Because neither is particularly relevant here; these are actions in places under simple US jurisdiction, by people under simple US jurisdiction, not by PRC diplomats and/or carried out in facilities that are PRC extraterritorial enclaves.

EDIT: For the arrestees. For the non-arrested charged parties, I suppose an expert on international law and extraterritoriality could explain that there is no international law protecting people from charges for working in their own country to violate the laws of another country, though enforcement of those charges may be difficult so long as the charged parties remain in and protected by the government of China. But, I mean, it doesn’t really take an expert in international law and extraterritoriality to explain that, either.
Good points but YMMV:

- fraction scaling: I don't need it

- Wayland: still using X

- hardware accel: I think that's true for chromium but IIRC there's a package with it and widevine (google-chrome-stablevon Arch AUR)

- nvidia: the AMD drivers are great and well supported (I've even been using ROCm to play with stable diffusion on my 6750XT)

- shooters: I mostly play strategy, puzzle, sim and 2D games. Haven't run into multiplayer issues yet but I'm sure there are some in the FPS genre with heavy DRM

Not for everyone but when I got my AMD card I stopped using my qemu virt-io VM w/ GPU passthrough and started using native steam with proton - much better experience all around and haven't booted windows ever since
> Typically when companies/banks do this sort of pass through banking, the money isn’t actually held in a personal account at the host bank. It’s usually held in one giant account that had a “managed on behalf of many” type structure.

Here's what their terms say:

> Upon Betterment’s instruction, Betterment Securities, acting as your agent, will open one or more Demand Deposit Accounts (“DDAs”) at Deposit Banks. Betterment Securities, as your agent, may also open one or more linked money market deposit accounts (“MMDAs”) at the Deposit Banks as indicated on the Deposit Bank List. Deposit Accounts are non-transferable.

> ...if you decide to terminate your participation in the Program, you may establish a direct relationship with each Deposit Bank by requesting to have your Deposit Accounts established in your name at each Deposit Bank, subject to each Deposit Bank’s rules with respect to establishing and maintaining deposits accounts.

This makes it sound like separate bank accounts are opened for each customer, though possibly not in the customer's name initially (with Betterment Securities acting as the customer's "agent"). So maybe better than thought?

IDK. This seems like good advice for a particular kind of person. One who is content for the vast majority of their human experience to revolve around software and technology. All these side gigs add up and this looks like a life with very little time to broaden oneself. Either that or this person has somehow found the golden ticket of a boss that actually considers career development as something they are willing to pay salary for.

I would have to do these kind of things on the side and I don't want my whole intellectual inner life and my hobbies to become software. I don't want to write software blogs in the evening. I want to read history books and cook dinner. I don't want to do podcasts on Saturday. I want to tear the drywall off my entryway and frame in a new window. I don't want to do side hustle paperwork on Sunday. I want to teach my kid how to shoot. I don't want to take a day off to go to a developer meetup. I want to go march for Medicare.

It comes down to time frame. If you need the money in a short time frame, stocks/bonds are not going to have a high confidence interval in having the same or more value at the time you need it. So, say, saving for a car 3-5 years from now, probably better off putting it in high-yield savings.

But a retirement dream home 20 years from now, throw it in stocks and bonds according to an asset allocation[0] you're comfortable with.
