SF is really nice, but I hear a lot of noise about extreme thought policing and other political propaganda-thumping (for lack of a better phrase). In other words, the impression I got was it isn't for people who are not "joiners" and conformists, especially risky if you want to risk it all and start a company there.

But then again I'm mentioning that here because I probably only heard one side of the story there. And also, it's all about who you know, so I guess that sort of a culture makes sense in a discomforting way.
At my company we used to only ask for email address. No names, no phone numbers, no mailing addresses. Because we understood that technical people don't like spam and don't like to give out their data. So we don't ask for them.

We also didn't send any reminders for them to check whether their email address was up to date. No account update reminders. To prevent annoying people with spam.

So other than sending emails and hoping that they read it, there was nothing else we could do.

And those small teams merge / move resources 'people' at various times. On a startup you start small and expand under un/under qualified leadership where getting a home run will erase early mistakes. You can get nice for both places but one has a full hr with paperwork for you to fill out while the other will probably screw up your taxes in some way.

Startups can be great "the owner pays for lunch" or bad "the owner orders food and constantly skips out when the bill comes". Either way you get a chance to eat with senior management when the company is under 10 and see how the sausage is made

First things first: I never implied (or wanted to imply) that you were introducing malware in that patchset, just that you could introduce it and I wouldn't be able to find that in a PR so big. Sorry if that came out wrong.

Still, that 3.18.140 kernel is ancient, it's not worth doing anything with it unless we find a bug that prevents something from working. Especially since there _is_ a mainline effort, and there's a 6.0 based tree that has most of the things working already except for some bugs with the nand and audio.

And that's the reason why there hasn't been a new release lately, because I hadn't had a lot of time, and because I'm spending all my little remaining energy on trying to get the userspace working with mainline.

For those who may not know, the userspace acts as a sort of bridge between the baseband and the Pinephone, by proxying stuff between them (that's how you can hijack some things and implement voice calls and SMS). When moving to mainline, there's certain devices that cease to exist, some others needs adapting, and I'm taking the time to try and get openqti to be more flexible and out of the box support different audio settings for different models, different flash configurations (for those modems which don't have a dedicated user data partition etc)
>They argue that ChatGPT's ability to produce detailed summaries of their works indicates their books were included in datasets used to train the technology.

This just isn't true. The authors have detailed summaries of their books on Wikipedia, that claim seems unsustainable.

There are actually interesting legal questions about AI, but this case seems not that interesting. I don't even see how the authors would demonstrate that their copyrighted works were used and not some summary, sourced from elsewhere.
So would it be fair to say that category theorists are mostly concerned with categorizing things?
Whoa there. Even as someone who spends only a small amount of time in a shop, a fractal vise is way more "everyday" useful than a tesla valve, or any of the things posted as a reply.

The most common methods of keeping something in place to be drilled/machined require at least one flat face in order to perform the clamping, or else extremely expensive and time consuming custom made fixtures. A fractal vise would perform an adequate job for a wide array of hobbyist level tasks. Even at ~$3000, it would pay for itself after a handful of jobs just from the lack of fixturing costs alone.

> I had this working with multiple X11 servers 20 years ago.

You had to hack around X11's shorttcomings.

X11 does not support HiDPI or multiple DPI across multiple monitors without hacks and workarounds. Wayland does. That makes X a non-starter and Wayland the only choice for many users.
It's literally the opposite of what patents were supposed to protect.

They are trying repackage an old technology they did not create and are threatening to sue everyone else making it. This product already existed before these "inventor" were even born. The original innovator who made this product already profited from it and are long gone from the market.
> I had this working with multiple X11 servers 20 years ago.

People want to move windows between their screens.

The lack of proper HiDPI support was really starting to become a problem when trying to run Linux on a laptop that isn't from the early 2000s. Fortunately, with wayland, it now seems mostly solved (at least in Gnome and KDE).

Not great, but nothing is worse than date calculations with the Swedish calendar between 1699 and 1753. They have a leap year with no Feb 29, a year with 30 days in February and 367 days in the year, 10 years where they used a globally unique calendar and a year where 1 March was the day after 17 February.

Quoting the entire thing:

> In November 1699, the Government of Sweden decided that, rather than adopt the Gregorian calendar outright, it would gradually approach it over a 40-year period. The plan was to skip all leap days in the period 1700 to 1740. Every fourth year, the gap between the Swedish calendar and the Gregorian would reduce by one day, until they finally lined up in 1740. In the meantime, this calendar would not be in line with either of the major alternative calendars and the differences would change every four years.

> In accordance with the plan, 29 February was omitted in 1700, but the Great Northern War stopped any further omissions from being made in the following years.

> In January 1711, King Charles XII declared that Sweden would abandon the calendar, which was not in use by any other nation, in favour of a return to the older Julian calendar. An extra day was added to February in the leap year of 1712, thus giving the month a unique 30-day (30 February) and the year a 367-day length.

> In 1753, one year later than England and its colonies, Sweden introduced the Gregorian calendar. The leap of 11 days was accomplished in one step, with 17 February being followed by 1 March

I guess you strip executives / owners of their dynastic wealth because it incentivises the next bunch of executives / owners to do everything in their power to ensure public safety.

However safety is not absolute and corporate harms are not always clear cut, as you point out. Perhaps the standard should be something like: does this do more harm than good, maybe weighting good by ~10x. Autonomous cars don't need to be perfect, just 10x+ better than human drivers.

Asset seisures should be in addition to jail for the most egregious cases, such as the Sackler family, who got off lightly for all the harm they caused.
Wasn't I already being pedantic enough about "Or peeling two stickers off a corner piece and swapping them to change the parity and make it impossible to solve."?

If you really want to make it physically impossible to solve and frustrating, swap two stickers between two cubes so they both have the wrong number of two colors, especially annoying with two colors on different faces of the same piece.

Ireland uses a special card. It's not that much of a pain to be honest. You can top the card up on your phone if you've got NFC and their app. But of course for a tourist, there's a certain amount of on-boarding that could be avoided if they just accepted traps directly from bank/credit cards or phones, and they wouldn't have to deal with replacement cards or an app.

Still, the card works on all public transport within the city, buses all over the country, and some commuter trains but not intercity trains (eg: I can go from Dublin to Belfast by tapping the card, but to be honest I'm probably gonna book that in advance anyway to guarantee a seat). Some smaller privately run bus operators also accept the card.
GC is in the UK so that's probably not it.
I had a 486 DX4/100mhz from around 1996 until 2001, I could not afford anything better - My Dad had a Pentium 166 but it was reserved for his work and was way more expensive then the 486 which was my personal computer, which I personally purchased for my own use - which in those days was mostly gaming.

The 486 was an absolute workhorse however one thing I do remember is it struggled to play MP3's in Winamp it would peg the CPU at 100% and made multitasking basically impossible. It wasn't until I upgraded from the 486 that I could play Quake and Mp3's at the same time.

Generating new text inspired by and iterated from concepts of older works is pretty much how human beings write.

A wild conspiracy theory appears!

Of course, like any good conspiracy, it's very competent and expansive, managing to simultaneously secretly convince all the major distros to use it by default and cruelly suppressing any efforts to provide funding and engineering effort towards X11.

In reality, Wayland works great for most Linux desktop users (on the mainstream distros) and no-one is funding X because no-one wants to.

I would expect Xcode doesn’t have its own parser, but gets its warnings from the compiler. It, in turn, would get them from the header files.

If so, the problem wouldn’t be “not using Swift/Objective-C” or “have a different/custom custom build system”, but having a binary in your build that calls a deprecated API that the build does not build from source.

That’s the case if you use a third party library you don’t have source code for, or if you use an in-house ‘library’ project (Xcode would warn you if you compiled that, but possibly not when you use it in another project, so you wouldn’t get a direct clue “rebuild that library to see the issues”).

Beautiful video, in more ways than one. This is how machines are meant to be used: augmenting humans rather than enslaving them.

Also, I have always felt that people who design industrial automation machines are mad geniuses. They just seem so complex but work!
Well yes true, risks as in "let people work in unsafe conditions hoping they will be lucky and no one dies" are something to avoid. I meant risks like "bet the farm on some new product not having a slightest idea if anyone wants to buy it or if it will even work", these risks are OK and they drive progress.
"Why isn't Apple approaching their device in the same way this other company approached their device? A device which, incidentally, nobody really cares about anymore after some initial."

Apple doesn't want their market to be the same as the market for the HTC Vive, which isn't exactly a successful product (at least by Apple standards). They also don't want the market to be defined by their competitors, so they're approaching the market in a very different way. An example of this is how, in the keynote where they announced their new VR headset, they didn't say the words "Virtual Reality" once.
I don't get when people get into a loud-idling vehicle (probably with some anti-muffling adjustments), start it, and then let it run without moving for half an hour before driving away. Every day. Does their car/truck/suv really take 30 minutes to warm up before it can drive anywhere?

Other times it's loud vehicle sound systems. I imagine the person inside either isn't aware how annoying it is or doesn't care that they're broadcasting bass to the entire neighborhood.

Obviously your context will vary. My experience is not your experience.

Early in my career I took something that was technically complex for me, and wrote it up as a book, using the path that lead me to understanding it.

Assuming that some of my peers might benefit from what I learned, I "self published" (aka printed copies on demand on my newly bought double-sided printer) and sold it for $50. I sold about 1000 copies over the next few years.

The money wasn't earth-shattering, but the effect on my career was immense. I was the one who literally "wrote the book". As far as resumes go, it's pretty up there.

Part of the success (I think) was that it was specifically designed to be an easy read. The goal was to get to the end and "know" a bunch of stuff, without it ever being anything but obvious.

I think it was helped by understanding where my own mental blocks were, and by unpicking those blocks, allowed others to easily disassemble and pass them.

In my experience the biggest block to learning is in understanding that something we absolutely positively know to be true, is actually false. Without letting it go first your brain refuses to accept the new (however simple) because it clashes with what is "true". But that's a digression for another thread.

Are you sure you mean topological data science? I know that there are topological methods for classifying high-dimensional data structures, but this discussion is mostly geographical/topographical. Yes, it does describe a surface, but there's a fundamental assumption that all objects are either on a plane or a sphere.

edit: If you mean GIS (geographical information systems/science), there are plenty of undergraduate courses strewn over github. IMO, the R geospatial ecosystem is more mature than its Python counterpart, but both are very usable.

>Because, just like when I walk in a city, I run into interesting and surprising and occasionally things that test my sensibilities.

Using your simile: cities aren't lawless wastelands just because some people like living in chaos, and neither should the internet be (in my opinion). Cities have places where more extreme content can be found for those that want it but is kept away from the general public. Why shouldn't the internet be the same?

I use GitHub Copilot very frequently for any programming I do.

I also use BingChat very often, I consider it to be a very underrated tool that people haven't fully explored. Of course, it's great for when you want your LLM queries augmented with search results. But BingChat can also view the current webpage, so for example you can pull up papers and ask BingChat questions about it. I've used it to help write abstracts for my papers. When I do this, BingChat literally searches up "how to write an abstract" which I found absolutely hilarious , it's like it's learning skills on the go as well. I didn't use the outputs directly, but it served as useful inspiration. I think BingChat uses a mix of models including GPT-4, all for free! Apparently more features are coming soon, including multimodal features.
I appreciate the reply, happy to hear mainline efforts progressing too. :)
Their comment is reflecting upon the posted video and nothing else.

There may be a log of people in the industry, but biotech is not "big" in the Bay area. QoL for biotech is low due to cost of living and everyone there in biotech is sad that they aren't making as much as the developers. If you want to work in biotech, San Diego of Boston, or even something like dc, toronto or research triangle is a better choice.

As for getting into tech, in the bay it's rather hard to break in unless you have a cs degree, or graduated from Stanford, or you are seen as cheap labor (South Asian), or possibly if you fill a DEI quota (but it was still hard[0] and not even that one anymore after belt tightening). Used to be easier. Not anymore.

Good luck! You'll need it. Hustle hard.

[0] I used to watch bay area startups harp about DEI and pass on perfectly good boot camp hirees and go for a white male from Stanford (actually never any good), but also all the non-asian diverse people I knew in personal life didn't have a problem getting tech jobs, so I have conflicting data. Watched an Asian male friend churn through 180+ job rejections over 9 months until I picked him up when I got hiring authority, he was perfectly good coder
> obviously some sort of weird re-writing of history

Might this not be a way to get people to accept the reality that the view of reality to which we have been exposed since birth is asymptotically approaching 100% phony, e.g. euphemism, puffery, imaginative vacuity and partial truths at best, paid-for praise, publicity, fraud, BS, deceit, whole cloth hokum and honey-fugling the norm, with every successful persona, product, purveyor and position diligently designed and manifested to be taken up by a specific audience, and to thrive among the myths already held dear by that audience? The NY Times is a media company that has reinvented itself to survive, dedicated to the proposition that survival is the sine qua non of meaning. The facts are not as important as the meaning, and the modern thoughtful reader, particularly the
sophisticated reader of the NY Times, engages the text, imagining and constructing their own meaning. Facts are the new adverbs -- to be used cautiously and sparingly, more for distraction or inspiration than for navigation or inference.
