Sure! Send your resume to careers@serpapi.com. Several of our Ruby engineers come from a design background and now do full-stack.
You could take that position. It's like mocking the light bulb though as hardly innovative because torches got the same thing done.

I get what you're saying, but I think the key point is execution of an idea. If it were so obvious and so easy, someone other than Nintendo or Apple would actually get it done once every few decades.

The billionaire argument isn't bs. If you actually had a great idea, or knew how to execute things well, you'd have either patents or products under your belt. It's just incredibly difficult to execute an idea in the real world. Most people, 99%, don't even have a good idea. The whole thing seems like if you "just had connections and resources" you could do it. But you wouldn't be able to. Most people actually do less with connections and resources. What would your grand idea be? Buy rental apartments? You certainly aren't going to be taking on Twitter when you can lose your millions doing it, and have no particularly amazing ideas for a competitor. Most millionaires don't invent things or execute complex ideas. They sit on the couch and contribute even less than if they were hungry with ambition. This applies to most of us, most likely including myself.

The millionaires are largely self-made, and were hungry with ambition. That's the portion I'm referring to in the last paragraph. The billionaires that keep doing things and making money like Musk are even rarer yet.

My watch buying experience was really straightforward. I knew which watch I wanted, and which band - really the only thing I needed to be sure of was the band size (as I’d not worn one before). I’d say the whole thing took about 10 minutes.

This is anecdotal of course. Your experience is yours. Sorry you went through that. My experiences have all been pretty smooth.

As for the Vision Pro, I think we’re dealing with a very different kind of product. They want everyone to have a positive experience, and this is the kind of thing no one has used even if you’ve used VR headsets, you’ve not used the product they created. They want to make sure you’re not getting stuck on fit or comfort.

The most obvious and trivial answer is that countries implementing mask mandates have seen COVID become endemic. That masks provide 'some' impact is obvious. That said impact is negligible is also obvious. We are still waiting, years and years latter, for that curve to finally be flattened.
I found personally a lot of use for k8s in the "10 QPS" bracket, especially if you can afford to use GKE & CloudRun (but recently I managed similar setup with single hetzner dedicated server and k3s).

Specifically, the simplicity of managing things once you go through the initial pain of setting it up (much reduced with GKE), cost savings from bin packing your apps (not just your product but also anything else you need for your company that you can't afford SaaS for [1]). You can share servers for dev/test/prod till you get enough clients to migrate up. And as much as I love HAproxy, configuring it is way more annoying than dealing with some basic ingress controller + certmanager (+ optional external-dns, not needed if you just set a wildcard).

Right now I have a super cheap (compared to cloud) hetzner server which provides (using k3s) services to multiple clients, ranging from just VPN (using headscale) to handling git etc. All with SSO, low maintenance, etc.

[1] costs of SaaS service per employee hit differently when you're not VC backed and you're not based in the United States.In my experience it's often cheaper to get another full time engineer to handle some self hosting than pay for various cloud/SaaS/PaaS.

> Or do the courts not really care at all how something is made?

One of the fair use factors, which until fairly recently was consistently held out as the most important fair use factor, is the effect on the commercial market for the original work. Accordingly, a court is more likely to find that something is fair use if there is effectively no commercial market for the original work, though the fact that something isn't actively being sold isn't dispositive (open source licenses have survived in appellate courts despite being free as in beer).
Right that is the point of the parent comment - it’s not the book, it’s the amalgamation of all the discussions and content about the book. This case is probably dead in the water.

Some quotes:

In China there is this strong culture of cloning things quickly and building lots of different products instead of just focusing on one thing at a time. This allows them to plant lots of seeds, and although it yields lower quality products in the short term as they're cloning and the markets are growing quickly...

They (Renren) They also have more features than us, including:

They have built their own version of Pinterest. In addition to your own timeline, you can have board pages that people can follow. They are tightly integrated into their NF.

They have built their own version of Tumblr. Same deal as with their version of Pinterest.

They have built their own standalone messenger app, where one key feature is using it like a walkie talkie -- basically like Voxer. Apparently Tencent QQ has also released a Voxer-like app which is really blowing up in China.

Renren has also built their own games and they have 6 of the top 10 Chinese games in the iOS app
store.

They have also built out a full music product where they have licensed all the music in China
themselves.

They have done some innovative things with commenting, like enabling people to easily fork comment threads to turn them into separate threads if they want.
Unless Elon thinks he invented the solar panel, the electric motor and the rocket he might as well complain about himself. All entrepreneurial activity is taking something that exists and making it cheaper, nothing wrong with it.

Original creations are, by their very definition, spontaneous and discontinuous, if you could plan them they wouldn't be original. If there was a method to originality you could copy it, therefore everything truly original is by necessity accidental. The entire debate about copying is silly.
We aren't so far away from that, and it is becoming cheap enough that you won't even need money anymore. Rather than bootleg movies, people will just ask computers to derive a new movie from multiple existing movies, and then...it is an original work?

If you're interested, this is pretty fascinating - he shows experimentaly that the guitar itself has little to do with tone.

Other than that better made instruments could (no promises!) hold their tuning a little better, but you can cheaply buy locks or spend some money having that re-done.

More than this and I have a hard explaining what a "pro" guitar could do to help an amateur. You get the same tones out of it, pedals and amps have much more impact on sound anyway.

And seriously, unless you have musical training, you'll never hear the difference between epiphone and gibson, or squier and fender.
It is however a vicious cycle and as the article points out exclusivity is key.

Why do people actually hack? Incentives. Money, power, influence.

Where is the incentive to perform this? Which is essentially shitting in the collective pool of knowledge.
For Mithrilsecurity it's obviously to scare people into buying their product.

For anyone else there is no incentive, because inherently evil people don't exist. It's either misaligned incentives or curiosity.

Yeah this is an interesting question. A fair few universities were founded during the previous gilded age by guys like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Stanford.

If you had $10B+ wouldn't it be somewhat tempting to instead of donating to an existing university, just make your own? Buy some site, hire some profs, make it clear you are after the top kids, give a free ride to all of them, you're guaranteed to get plenty of applicants. You'll have your own Stanford in a few years.

I went to school with a guy who had all the top credentials (absolute top math guy), got into the top schools, ended up taking a free ride scholarship instead. You're simply bound to win some of those if you pay for it.
Yep. There's often people there whose job is to sell without an appointment. At my local stores they normally stand next to the accessories, where you can just grab stuff from the shelf.

But you can ask them to grab a specific model of iPhone, iMac, etc, for you if you don't need information.

Any news on when Bevy will have some legit documentation? I know there was a branch in work a while back that looked to have some in depth docs, but it doesn’t seem like it’s made its way into a release. This has always been a huge hurdle for me with Bevy. I really just don’t want to wade through discord to figure out how to use it. Wishing the best and awesome work. I think I’ll give bevy another shot once there’s an editor and good docs!
Eventually, I imagine a new licensing concept will emerge, similar to the idea of music synchronization rights -- maybe call it "training rights." It won't matter whether the text was purchased or pirated -- just like it doesn't matter now if an audio track was purchased or pirated, when it's mixed into in a movie soundtrack.

Talent agencies will negotiate training rights fees in bulk for popular content creators, who will get a small trickle of income from LLM providers, paid by a fee line-itemed into the API cost. Indie creators' training rights will be violated willy-nilly, as they are now. Large for-profit LLMs suspected or proven as training rights violators will be shamed and/or sued. Indie LLMs will go under the radar.
Bacteria and viruses do explain alot of religious experiences, just like rabies causes people to avoid water (hydrophobia) [1]. Whats interesting is how they gag when they come close to water or even try to drink it, which would suggest some sort of mind over matter affecting the brain. This is by definition a phobia, which is seen in people all over the world, ranging from food to certain sexual activity.

Some of those out of body experiences and near death experiences are just chemicals in the brain, sometimes caused by the body/brain deteriorating.

Religions have attempted to provide a rational explanation to historical events based on the knowledge at the time, but in the absence of knowledge like we have today, they could only pass it off as an act of god.

I think the reason medical experts keep quiet on the rational explanations is simply because they recognise the mental health benefits of believing in a higher being like god, but for the non-religious, the US military are pushing the alien and UFO idea as a form of mental health relief.

> To me it would be more exclusive and prestigious if they gave everyone a free ride but it was entirely on merit.

It's not up to you. It's far easier to be admitted into Harvard than to have your opinion on Harvard admissions be something that Harvard should be concerned about. Part of the definition of "exclusive and prestigious" is that elites get to decide what it is.

The reason Harvard is a top institution is because it is an elite institution. It is not because of its quality of instruction or thought, which are just fancy decorations.
As the article says, I agree, let Harvard put its money where its mouth is, if racial and other kinds of diversity are as important as its faculty and admissions officers believe. Let them make the choice about the money or the diversity.

I think you'll find that the factions of people running the university (which by the way is a many, many-headed beast) would rather keep the money than act according to the principles they profess. I think you find that's true for a lot of liberal principles. (and conservative ones equally)

Harvard is free to experiment with social tinkering. Just not with my tax money.
>it's going to take a while, and Rust has been here for 17 years.

Technically correct, but Rust was changing significantly from version to version prior to the 1.0 release some 8 years ago, notably the green thread runtime was removed.
NB: I've further tweaked my scripts (and titlecasing) which results in a few minor changes to the results, though the above list remains highly illustrative.

I think I've spammed this thread enough for now ;-)
Thank you! Will try that.
You'll likely see memcpy implemented using the vector extension, e.g.:

memcpy:
mv a3, a0 # Copy destination
loop:
vsetvli t0, a2, e8, m8, ta, ma # Vectors of 8b
vle8.v v0, (a1) # Load bytes
add a1, a1, t0 # Bump pointer
sub a2, a2, t0 # Decrement count
vse8.v v0, (a3) # Store bytes
add a3, a3, t0 # Bump pointer
bnez a2, loop # Any more?
ret # Return

Are you sure `rep stos/movs` are actually optimal on x86_64 systems?

There are other reference counted types with copy-on-write, like strings and dynamic arrays, it isn't only interfaces.
1. Data about me should be owned by me, not the entity that collects it.

2. Disseminating false info about a person should trigger a statutory defamation liability akin to statutory copy right infringement, where the person does not have to prove damages then expand the Credit Reporting laws to include all Information and force them to tell you who all they have sold or given that info to.

#2 would do the most, if we reform defamation to make it where if a credit reporting agency, or Google gets something wrong and tells someone else that wrong thing they are liable you would see a massive curbing of private information collection, and even more of it being up for sale.
I am personally of the opinion that the central bank is irrelevant. The only factor relating to central banks that has any relevance is that they issue cash with a price control aka the zero lower bound on interest. This results in the usual problems with minimum price controls. There will be an oversupply of the "product" in question. Because the ZLB applies to the short term interest ratethere will be an oversupply of liquid and immediately accessible deposits or account balances. People will be hesitant to commit their money long term and they instead just wait for the next opportunity. This then leads to a slow down of money circulation, which in turn forces the entire economy to adapt to this artificially created situation. This behaviour creates an opportunity to plug the gap with newly created money by commercial banks by keeping less than 100% of the deposits in reserve. The problem is that the newly created money will end up stuck in the same accounts as before which means that the bandaid solution has to be repeated endlessly. The obvious solution is to eliminate the zero lower bound and let the market determine both positive and negative interest on liquid account balances. Then the central bank won't have to do anything at all except prevent commercial banks from creating too much money by having reserve requirements at 50% or higher. You will get most of the neoclassical predictions like full employment even if the economy is no longer growing or the last world war has been eighty years ago.

But the reverse is also true. If you keep the ZLB enjoy living in an imperfect world that needs constant government intervention to deal with the constant dysfunction that such a price control generates.
> Not because the technology was bad, but because people just don't want it.

Have you ever used an AR/VR headset for something you generally enjoy (a game, a movie, Google Maps, whatever)?

I ask because my own experience (and the consensus of my network and the critics I read) is that devices like Oculus and the Vive Pro are extraordinarily compelling but overall held back by immature technology. Base stations. Wires. Visible pixels. Low quality video pass through. Stupid controllers you have to hold in your hands.

People see the potential and flashes of what might be, but it's impossible to get beyond the awful user experience.

> What Apple is missing here is that people wanted the iPhone (a phone with an iPod built in) for years before it was even officially announced as under development.

Two thoughts on this:

1) It seems to undermine your point that iPhone launched in 2007 and yet through 2011 failed to come close to outselling iPod in terms of units.

2) The device you are describing -- "a phone with an iPod built in", before the iPhone -- actually did exist. The Motorola ROKR E1, or the "iTunes Phone": it was unveiled in 2005 on stage by Steve Jobs. Motorola did the phone stuff, and Apple did the iPod bit.

It was a dismal failure and was discontinued after roughly a year on the market.

> It succeeded because the market invented it, not because Apple are geniuses who showed us we needed it.

What do you mean by "invented"? Because literally two years before the iPhone launched, the market "invented" a phone with a built-in iPod, manufactured by the leading cell phone manufacturer of the day, in collaboration with Apple, and it failed miserably. Did the market invent that phone?

It's fair to say that Apple is not the first entrant to most market it contributes to, and it's fair to say that they are rarely the progenitors of the technologies their devices rely upon.

What Apple is very good at is deeply understanding when new technologies can be combined or honed to bring them over a threshold of resonance with consumers which drives widespread adoption. It is not enough to simply say "ship a phone with a touch screen' --- folks were doing that for years before iPhone launched. Instead it's about understanding the interplay of latency, brightness, PPI, plural point awareness, manufacturing yields, component costs, and making tradeoffs which pursue a vision which people buy into.

That's why when you said "a phone with an iPod built in" you could have been referring to both iPhone _and_ the ROKR, but the two devices could not be more different: ROKR had a fiddly microSD card for storage. Crummy slow processor and user interface. Stupid tiny keyboard for typing on. WAP internet. Wired transfer speeds slower than high speed USB. Slow java apps. A low resolution TFT LCD display. Only 11 megabytes of onboard memory.

Fine-tuning is like statically linking a large library (available in binary form only) to a small app. (An optimizing linker can blend app and library code so much they cannot be distinguished.) Weights intended for fine-tuning are still a binary, just a reusable one. Nothing new here.
I'm not sure I follow. The mass extinction event is mostly due to habitat destruction AFAIK right? The reason for that is seeking new resources aka energy. You don't need to cut down the rainforest to plant low yield crops if you can more profitably grow higher yield crops vertically with grow lamps and powered watering systems.. no? 'Cheap energy' is very different from 'basically free energy' in terms of what you can do.
