The TL;DR pointers are really great, and the note about asserting the shape of tensors applies any common linear algebra library out there, as far as I know. When working on complex LA code, it's extremely important to take small steps and code defensively. In my opinion programming linear algebra with any mainstream language is absolutely atrocious due to lack of compile-time checking of tensor shapes, which should properly be part of a tensor's type and would make it impossible to compile if you're trying to multiply a 3x4 by a 3x4 without transposing first. It really, really sucks to run a long calculation only to fail on an operation due to mismatched dimensions.

IMO PyTorch tensors should also have their device statically typed; right now you get a run-time error if you try to multiply a tensor in CPU memory by one in GPU memory.
Isn’t it just like… a couple of servers? As in, entirely fundable by one person who could afford the time to moderate.
DocuSign shmocusign. Digital signatures is the most bizarrely anachronistic technology on the Internet. Even credit card vendors gave up on signatures.

That is the spirit of Free Software (ie restricting users as little as possible) Open Source is much smaller in scope.

It's just a lever holding back the firing pin until the propellor is past a certain point even if the trigger is actuated. One of those brilliant inventions that is trivial if you know the secret but very tricky to discover if you don't.
Once you reach a certain level it becomes less about the stack itself and more about the bigger picture. What problems for the customer you're solving, what's the UX. If the stack there for historical reasons then just pick up that stack. Business don't generally care about how you solve their problem, they just want it solved. If you have to pick up a new stack to do it, then so be it. Is there a demand for that? Businesses still have, and will always have problems they need bespoke software written to solve. Choose whichever you want, you'll be valued either way. Specializing in one field limits the breadth of what you can do but the depth makes you more valuable, just in a different way.
You missed the point.

Hashicorp were probably not packaging a compiler+libraries and selling it and didn’t have a business model around compilers.

A letter of marque is a specific legal instrument.

If the US (or Russian) government is recruiting and employing private sector hacking groups as cyberwarfare agents (as both probably are), whehter or not they are doing so legally under domestic and/or international law, they aren’t issuing letters of marque.

>Being warm in winter and being wealthy are both good outcomes.

You can be warm in the winter without doing deals with "the devil", and most average Austrian people don't benefit from that corrupt "trade", just a few banks and oil execs and real estate moguls who get to become even richer, unless you're gonna tell that their immense riches will "trickle down" to us plebs, any minute now.

>A pretty basic assumption about Google and Facebook is that the US 3 letter agencies use the data in coups.

Sure they do, which is why maintaining tech supremacy is a national security matter of the US, and an issue Europe doesn't get, that the more you fall behind in mainstream tech products and services, the more you are at the mercy of the US (and China).

The fact that US companies own all the biggest cloud, social media and chat platforms, gives the US incredible leverage, that nobody else has.
One more neat trick for Brewfiles: They're evaluated as Ruby code, so you can use if-else etc. to conditionally install things on different machines with a single Brewfile. I use that together with yadm to manage both work and private laptops with minimum duplication.
Netflix 2 will be an AI generated studio that makes big budget films cheaply and owns all the rights. The code will largely be generated. They will not need actors/writers/tech people in the way that netflix does. So their margins will be large enough to sustain the streaming / generation.

Oracle Linux, surprisingly, is no strings attached. The licensing is straightforward GPL, the download pages are freely accessible.

In this case, it might be Oracle's lawyers preventing them from being aggressive, because they wouldn't fare well trying to challenge Red Hat. If they screw up their treading-lightly strategy, or if they get into legal trouble, there could no longer be a suitable operating system to run Oracle Database on.
On reflection, it might have been clearer to have started my comment with:

For years I was the "maths guy" at a small software house. And yet I often struggled through the terse mathematical notation that I frequently encountered while researching a given problem. On numerous occasions I had to ask for help on sites such as MathOverflow, and for a long time that really did bother me. All of my coworkers seemed to think of me as some kind of "real" mathematician, and yet there I was, posting questions on a forum like a complete noob. Eventually, I came to the realization that I truly was doing the best I could. Try to learn new things every day and give it everything you've got. That's all you can do!
Open source licenses don't require you to do those things. That was the intention in coming up with them.

They were the Bazaar people. They sold open source as something that makes software quality better. It was the counterpoint to Free Software, who said they made programs morally better, and that it was largely irrelevant whether copyleft made software quality better.
Leader? Citation needed.

For example, LWN's most-recent report[0] on who contributed Linux kernel patches puts either three or four different companies above Red Hat, depending on if you're looking at changesets or lines changed.

Regardless, if leadership is theirs to lose, then they're doing a good job of it.

This is simply not true.

The optimum path for all startups is to either bootstrap entirely or bootstrap up until the Series A where your negotiation position is the strongest because you know your unit economics and can demonstrate clear product-market fit.

Of course many startups may simply not be able to bootstrap. But equally there are many startups who could but choose the YC/VC track because of cargo culting, naivety or ignorance of all of the issues that it comes with e.g. dilution and the low percentage of startups making it to Series-A.

I would argue that most founders instead of emulating Stripe, Airbnb etc should look to florists, bakeries, ecommerce sites etc and learn the fundamentals for growing a business in a cost-effective and sustainable way. And then decide after they have a successful lifestyle business whether YC/VC will take them to the next level.

> > Can Google not send people a simple email with a link?

> Obviously they could. But equally obviously from your description, this is not a feature where sending one email with one link is sufficient. Based on the help page the final signed contract is "saved in your Drive", an operation that's not meaningful for a random email address that won't have an associated Google Drive. It seems likely that this is a feature that would be blocked on e.g. embedding the audit log in the pdf as per the discussion above.

None of this really matters. I totally agree with the parent comment: having an e-signature product that is only usable by other Gmail users (and of course their is really no way to know if any particular email address is a Gmail user) makes it useless. What, so if I need some docs signed I'll get half of them signed with DocuSign and the other half with Docs? Of course not, I'll just use the product that works with anyone.

Google used to have this same "can only share docs with other Drive users" feature, though it's improved somewhat. In general I think the enterprise doc sharing features are so bad in Drive that the only way I can wrap my head around it is to think that Google is scared of antitrust concerns if they too closely tried to emulate features from the likes of Dropbox, Box and others.

I never stop to be amazed how average consumption figures in the US are often at least 100 per cent bigger than in Europe. At least for water and electricity, let alone fuel.

Just a thought that naturally pops up... :

If you take the reasoning one step back, wouldn't it be easier to optimize the consumption side (low hanging fruit) in favour if optimizing the cost per unit of energy? The latter seems a lot of effort, at least for the devs.
You're talking about Xlinks? They are nowhere near doing it. They have been talking about it since 2018 and trying to get investors to give them money but despite favourable press and interest from politicians, a heavyweight board, nobody who has looked at their business plan has stepped up to the plate to back the project. Desertec is the other one which has raised nothing despite touting a similar idea since 2008.

Xlinks is going nowhere - in fact the founder, Simon Morrish, seems to be mostly spending his time on other projects these days.

Even their website claimed last year that the £16B project could be profitable if a CFD at £48/MWh (CDF is a type of contract electricity suppliers bid for in UK auctions to win 15 year contracts to supply electricity). Unfortunately local solar pv, on-shore and off-shore wind auction prices in the last auction round were all lower than this.

Regarding local subsidies and supports for rooftop solar, of-course it can make sense for an individual. My point is that on aggregate, it does not make sense - if the government is going to spend $X to encourage the production of solar PV, then supporting rooftop solar provides a poor return on the subsidy. And the difference is more than half the price - typically the multiple is 3 or 4 times cheaper.
That use case perfectly describes the needs of the SAAS product my team is building. We have tons of domain specific features we want to build, and anything that frees up dev time for that work gets a look.

While I haven't yet seen the pricing for your link or the OP, this seems like a case where there aren't many negative tradeoffs.

> Or Samsung "Smart Things".. but unlikely to last 30 years..

Is there anything that actually works with it directly? I have a growing number of connected devices around me, and none of them can talk to SmartThings, except floor heating controllers that do so by half-broken integration with Tuya...

Trying to figure out (without success) how to hook A/C units to SmartThings, I learned that apparently Samsung/ST is abandoning their existing "we'll figure it out for you in the cloud somehow" architecture, moving towards "please buy our hub/edge device, and run some Lua scripts on it" architecture, which actually doesn't feel like an upgrade.

That's because it is the foundation of the technique that makes them vulnerable. They are an "attractive nuisance". A system must be evaluated based on "typical use", not "perfect use".

You come across as a social Darwinist who would be happy for all the warning labels to be removed from everything and all safety regulations repealed. The world you advocate for would be an awful dystopia. You have nothing to say I haven't heard before.
I see no reason why knowledge needs to come from prerequisite facts.

Showing my ignorance here, but isn't this the whole point of "cogito ergo sum"? The "fact" that we are thinking is a first principle that comes from nothing else without a prerequisite axiom.
I would be very skeptical of how comprehensive that data is. Are they counting the empty "bank account" condos that have flooded every major metro downtown as vacant? Doubtful, because they're not on the market even though no one lives there. No is reporting that data-- in fact, there have been efforts to kill such proposals.
>So, for us YC was a no-brainer.

Saved you a click.

If the general consensus is that YC is worth it, then why bother publish something to state the obvious. I'd be more interested in cases or scenarios where the founders felt YC wasn't worth it, which I believe would be very low or non-existent.

Shifting to two-factor auth is hard to do. GitHub recommends the long game
"The muon, like its lighter sibling the electron, acts like a tiny magnet. The parameter known as the "g factor" indicates how strong the magnet is and the rate of its gyration in an externally applied magnetic field. It is this rate of gyration that is indirectly measured in the Muon g − 2 experiment.

The value of g is slightly larger than 2, hence the name of the experiment. This difference from 2 (the "anomalous" part) is caused by higher-order contributions from quantum field theory. In measuring g − 2 with high precision and comparing its value to the theoretical prediction, physicists will discover whether the experiment agrees with theory. Any deviation would point to as yet undiscovered subatomic particles that exist in nature.[4] "

From Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon_g-2
Standard model g factor should be 2.00233183620(86): https://physics.aps.org/articles/v16/139

TLDR: Standard model says the ratio measured should be about 2 for g, ie g-2 > 0 would indicate contributions from quantum field theory, which are yet to be well understood and could indicate there are more particles responsible for the excess.

How was this allowed? I was under the impression that companies the size of Microsoft needed to contact Meta to negotiate a license.

Excerpt from the license:

Additional Commercial Terms. If, on the Llama 2 version release date, the
monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee,
or Licensee's affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the
preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may
grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the

such rights.
Open source is what's written in the license, no more, no less. It doesn't have spirits or souls.
If Airbnbs were having a significant impact forcing people out of homes, we would see it as an increase in the vacancy rate - but overall vacancy rate is still dropping like a rock in the US: https://www.census.gov/housing/hvs/current/index.html

And FWIW, the Census has not found a significant increase in the number of vacation properties in the last few decades: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/dec/coh-vacat...

The foreign ownership thing seems like a bit of a distraction. They don't seem to have significant impact on vacancy rates - they are still insanely low even in places like NY and SF. And to the extent that they are buying up properties as speculation that seems like a symptom of supply constraints more than a cause of.
