It’s so easy to throw out meta-commentary and to pscyholigize[1] people based on a single prompt that you then don’t even have to defend (“people are reading this as more of a[...]”). Oh, were a16z good or bad, or neutral? Uh, doesn’t matter as long as I get to express my little pet-peeve.

[1] Using “ressentiment” is on the level of accusing someone of having father/mother issues (the Freud variant).
I think it is clever how the "negative space" of the rounded envelope plus how the wing is holding it evokes a "speech bubble" of most other messaging apps, while still being visually an envelope. It's subtle, but communicative, and one of those things that once you see it, is always there (like the FedEx arrow).

I'll repost my response to this from the last time it got brought up. I talk favorably about Elm all the time so I hope this doesn't come off as defensive but I really think Evan was more tone deaf than rude in this case.

I feel like this exchange is this skit writ small...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sngRrkQayDA. Evan meant a congenial "why are you doing this" as in like..honestly why do they match negative literals? Everyone took it as an accusatory statement that implied "you moron, why would you do such a thing?" which I at first took it that way too so I can totally understand! But on reflection I think he wouldn't react that way and I believe he was just misinterpreted. And by fake examples he meant contrived examples. He wasn't accusing them of acting in bad faith I don't think.

Sure, more information is good, but you shouldn't expect that information. People don't use DRLs and turn signals all the time. Lights break. Electrical connections degrade. Old cars almost never keep up with advancements in signaling technology.

All the signals in the world wouldn't help people deal with someone that refuses to use their indicators or doesn't maintain their old car, and that is the expectation you should have when driving: the worst possible drivers around you all the time.

You can deal with practically any situation as long as you're keeping your distance and staying observant. Regardless what the people around you are or are not doing.
As an engineering leader I always insist that everyone follows the "ice cream" rule in any debate or discussion about how something should be done. Only technical merit counts. Never personal taste.

Whether it is a design pattern, deployment strategy, or choice of language, if your argument has no technical advantage then you are just expressing your taste preference. This is where someone will likely call you out by asking, "are we discussing technology or ice cream flavors?"

Ya, it would be tedious to do all of this manually. I guess it wasn't clear, but all of this is part of my open source GPT coding tool called "aider".

See, I actually usually preferred the PDF menus to websites. Usually traditional menus are laid out in a really intuitive way that groups items logically, flows, and gently guides you to the better dishes.

When it's a website, it's often lousy long lists where you can only see 3 or 4 things at a time, have to scroll super far back up and down to compare things, and have no idea what the restaurant is nudging you to order.

If it's still using IBM code, then it definitely will. IBM's OS/2 kernel, even the 32-bit one from 2.0 onwards, had 16-bit code and the extra ring usage for IOPL.

I can only speak for myself, but their offer was underwhelming and I was easily one of the first five people they called. I’ve founded and exited companies myself, so when I walked them through why the founding SW engineer offer wasn’t worth my time giving the risk profile, and laid out there size and type of SW engineers they were going to need. They understood, but they also trotted out the “but we really have to make sure we hire the right chip guys.”

Fair enough. I’m old so these conversations are never personal. I tried to help them by steering younger, less experienced but very high potential engineers toward them, but in the end they failed utterly to put together a viable SW team.

I don’t know any of their investors in terms that would let me ask, but I do know a bunch who passed, and most of them had concluded that it would end up just being more silicon on a crowded market. Being 10-20x better than nvidia isn’t the point if the market is about to be flooded with a dozen other chips against whom you are maybe 1.5-3x better. Without nailing the go to market needs, which means “make the stuff people have work, don’t make the customer learn new” etc. you have nothing. That’s all a Sw problem.

It’s actually worse, because the engineers in the space are actually pretty bad. A lot of what they have actually barely works to begin with, being a bunch of cobbled together python frameworks of dubious engineering quality and all of the hassle of the ecosystem. So the amount of mental space for “different” is almost zero even if you ignore that they’ve been burned (AMD) before, which you can’t.
Medium matters. Anyone making public statements should understand as much.
I love that the "hater" thread turns into a discussion of uncountable infinities :)

The "cardinality" section of that Wikipedia page describes my objection well. I don't doubt the real numbers are not recursively enumerable, but that doesn't mean they have a larger cardinality than the integers.

In the video, he researches relevant laws in the EU and US, and explains the details and implications of those laws. He compares to previous solutions from another manufacturer, GM, and also personally verifies that his car's automatic cruise control mode does properly use brake lights, and also shows how that is following the letter of the law.

There is no cruft in the video, just a lot of densely packed content. Yes you can summarize the video in a few sentences, but you miss out on a lot of the details.

Eh, it's a little tricky. A lot of research marketed under the "AI" umbrella would be categorized under cs.LG (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.LG/recent), cs.CV (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.CV/recent), cs.CL (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.CL/recent), and to a lesser degree cs.NE (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.NE/recent). Oh, and of course, cs.AI (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.AI/recent). Not every one of those areas has grown monotonically, but the growth in CV and CL especially has been explosive over the last ten years.

Yeah, that would be my answer as well. I actually forgot to mention that - Snowflake and the like store data away from compute so no matter how you misconfigure clusters (though Snowflake isn't really that configurable) the data is safe. Messing up database that stores data locally means the data is gone - and that makes all operations like resizes and upgrades much more scary.

But of course the local storage is much faster. Tradeoffs.

"Illegal" refers to a person's presence in the country, not any specific action. If you would prefer to call them "trespassers", be my guest. But "undocumented" is deceptive - it implies they're allowed to stay, and they're just lacking documentation, like losing a passport. When in fact even fully documenting their presence and identity (such as during deportation procedures) doesn't mean they have permission to stay in the country.

I personally can't remember the last time I paid $100 on a monthly basis for any non-essential service that I was using as a hobby. Would be interested to see the amount of customers each one of these tiers was actually fielding...
That seems very unlikely. How much overhead do you believe there to be? Intel is about equal to apple silicon in performance and work per joule and per watt. If either of them could do much better, they would.
I'm not saying Apple executed perfectly, I'm saying Apple demonstrates how you can simply and easily emulate older systems at the OS level and that we shouldn't block hardware development on this. If she wants to play an old game there are a ton of options.

> create something radically more power efficient

Lots of the M1's efficiency comes from business decisions. Apple chooses to use an expensive, low clock TSMC node. They use a lot of expensive die area on wide cores and cache, so they can keep clocks and voltages (relatively) low. And they use packaged memory for efficiency, but at higher cost and with no modularity.

Not saying it isn't a great design, but Intel/AMD could make a far more efficient CPU if they had the right market incentives to try. We have already seen a hint of this with Van Gogh (the Steam Deck chip) and their rumored "premium" laptop chips with big GPUs and an M1 Pro-like memory bus.
> don't have to be a believer in a16z to find this list of AI resources useful

One wonders why the authors published with them, as well as what down-round portfolio company a16z are using this to shill.
It works both ways. Axing 32-bit support is going to make it impossible to use a large collection of software. On the other hand, supporting legacy architectures, legacy APIs, etc. for decades also makes developers and users lazy. There needs to be some balance.

Being able to look at your own code and notice what's wrong with it is the first step.

There are always at least trade-offs made between conflicting quality goals. Understand that others will value trade-offs differently. In a team, their preferences count as much as yours.

You wrote the code, but it is not you. Critique of the code is not critique of you.

Yes, and the same can happen with any number of other things, like a keybind that scrolls back, or a link in the feed the user accidentially clicks.

Which is part of the reason why infinite scroll falls under the same category as modals as far as I am concerned. There is a reason why pages with lots of entries are paginated.

twitter currently makes it's money from advertising served on content users generate, creating barriers around programmatically serving that content reduces the value of the platform for advertisers.

Ditto.

I have been doing something (in another field) since the mid 90's. I would say most people would consider me an expert. I get referrals for what I do from 'top' people investors in tech. I also went to what most would consider 'a top college'. I would never want to be positioned as being right or expert because of the amount of time I spent doing something or the college that I went to, or who trusts me, but actual things that I have done that point to my expertise (not a halo of some type).

Great great article. We have all kinds of rituals/meetings to do this. Work had a fairly good Friday end of day demo day with optional beers in hand that was OK. But we kept doing it pandemic & it's been dreadful. No one wants to be there, no one retains anything, and people dissect technical decisions like crazy. The ability to bring us together is gone.

Passports and documentation are a relatively new concept. Before 1920 or so, you would just show up in the USA for a new life, and if your skin color was the right shade of white, no one would stop you (otherwise you might be interned or otherwise sent back). All immigrants were undocumented back then.

Today, you show up with a passport and a visa, which is easy to get if your skin color is the right shade of white. Somethings never really change.

> Tell investors you're throwing away 10% of the market and they will fire you

Really not. 10% extra market share is something for large companies to worry about, the sort of thing that requires big spend in localization. For a company the size of OpenAI, there are bigger fish to fry. Europeans will use VPNs and route payments via resellers rather than not have access to the latest tech.
Yeah, but if the bulk of the world's population is slamming an api that's free...there's no more api or platform at that point, since it's not going to generate enough revenue anymore. Could take the entire platform with it if all of the available funds are going towards serving free api traffic.
