Ok, I get it now. You're basically playing around with the complexity factor by bounding the universe of possible solutions (programs) such that it will only grow polynomially. And assuming that because P=NP, the size-bound programs you try are guaranteed to find an answer, all without depending on the size of the input.
But I think the only relevance of the P VS NP problem is in whether or not we can find answer to NP problems in a "timely" fashion (as the article defines it: before the end of the universe), and I think one could show that this strategy (the name is universal search) doesn't guarantee that for any practical hardware we can envisage, now or in the future - the number of steps is just far too great for any interesting problem, even if it's not nearly as bad as exponentially growing (being less bad is not enough)?
> I am talking about a context switch to kernel code simply to access the shared memory. All interactions with SM require syscalls.

Please enlighten me with the syscall you use to access a shared memory... because there are none.

As far as the kernel is concerned, "memory" is just a set of pages mapped to a process at a specific address. These pages can be anonymous or named (meaning other processes can map them through that name).

There is no syscall, no context switch, involved to read or write memory, named or anonymous. Hell, that's even the whole purpose of memory mapped IO.

As mentioned earlier, there is also no real difference between a thread and a process as far as the kernel is concerned. A thread is just a special case of process which maps its heap to its parent.

Even the word "thread" doesn't really exist for the Linux kernel. We just call these "lightweight processes", because these are just processes with a shared heap.
I don't understand how people can plan customer growth with OKRs like "get 666,250 additional visitors". Or "increase revenue by 8,000,000 by EOY".

First of all, why EOY? And where does that 8m number come from? It just seems so arbitrary. Why not set growth direction with some lower boundary, and have simple guidelines like "If you do X, you will probably slow customer acquisition, so avoid X when makes sense" and "If you do Y, you will probably speed up customer acquisition, so try to do Y when makes sense".
I hate "did you even read my comment" replies, but again, you're pitching me on "trends throughout a time period", "larger trends throughout history" and "all kinds of other useful information that can impact decisions".

I don't think a person without interest in literary analysis would make this comment. On the contrary, I'm specifically calling out building non-sensical tools with little practical uses because the author of the tool does not engage with literary works beyond the most superficial layer. And because I don't believe quantitive analysis of art is benificial to culture and society, but that's a broader subject.

> They wanted to argue that copyright can be assigned to non humans, but that just isn’t how the law works.

Just a nitpick that this isn't really about copyright assignment, it's about rights that arise as a result of a eligible work by a eligible author being fixed into a tangible medium. These rights aren't assigned to the author, they come into being automatically.

In this case, the ruling seems to be that there was no eligible author, and as such, no rights came into being. Or at least, the claimed author is not an eligible author: had the claim been that the human was the author, using the AI as a paintbrush, that would be a different question.

It would be another matter if a natural person authored a work and wished to assign its rights to a non-person. Which yeah, you pretty much can't do. Under most legal frameworks, ownership is for people, natural or corporate; anything that's not a people is property and property can't own property.
This article conflates advertising and marketing right from the get-go rendering most of its advice, at best, as quite limited. Blowing $1.5MM on ads with no result is a sign of no marketing at all.

Marketing is a two way process you should start right away -- "before starting", actually.

Marketing is understanding your market: who wants your product, who uses it, who decides that it should be used, and who pays for it (sometimes four different people), both at the micro (individuals) and macro (demographics, market lifecycle ("crossing the chasm"), external factors (changing environment)). And then why -- what matters to them? And only later in the process do you start to think of how you might reach them -- ads? What kinds? What tone do you set?

At the very beginning you want to get some idea of 1- would anyone at all actually ever use this and 2 - how many o of those people will there be on day 0 and how many in a few years?

The other thing you learn is how to design your product: what features actually matter, and for my SaaS how big a back end infrastructure will I need -- with multiple answers like in the first year and when it's time to scale. Lets' you design a small product with affordances for later, revenue-funded changes to make it scale. You don't need K8s on day 0, maybe never, or maybe someday so you design your MVP without supporting k8s but with it in the back of your mind. This all comes from marketing.

Many years ago I raised a $20MM A round (when $20MM was a lot of money and there were rarely seed rounds and no "pre-seed" nonsense) on a powerpoint-deck-only plan with no TAM $ analysis at all. It was a drug, and I knew (from talking to doctors and patients) that on day 0 people would pay thousands, and their doctors could sell it to them (specific market where that was the case). Then I had a slide talking about demographic trends (aging baby boomers). Because the marketing was so compelling the investors did their own TAM in their heads.

I mention that not because I think you should ignore TAM! But in my case TAM $ was impossible to calculate; OTOH I had enough market data (and the one VC who did some DD doing his own survey confirmed it, to his surprise) that I knew enough about the market to be able to talk about how I could steer (as much as you can in the pharma business) as certain numbers turned out to be wrong.
A couple takeaways from this post and my most recent search:

* The first versions of the CV are so, so bad. Almost parody-level fluff (the rainbow infinity sign is peak CV cringe) hiding what should be considered some pretty impressive outcome metrics. It would be significantly better if the entire CV was "CEO who scaled startup from $XM Valuation to $250M Valuation" in 72 point font.

* Applying through the front door doesn't work. Only networking is going to get you a job at this level of seniority (and lately almost any level of seniority). Tuning your CV is only helpful for organizing your thoughts for your elevator pitch.

* Being without a job near the top of the pyramid is very bad, and you need a much better story to explain the gap. No one is handing you the keys to their company if you seem like a risk. "I'm a Ukrainian refugee" is a great story and should probably be in there to explain the lack of current employment. Your journey of self discovery is a great story to tell after you land your next role, not while you're looking.

* Probably most importantly, we've been living in a 15-year tech bubble driven by low interest rates and quantitative easing. Valuations have been driven by the insane amount of money flying around, and those valuations have required zero-marginal-cost and infinite TAM to justify the numbers. SaaS, tech, AI/ML are pretty much the only stories that can claim to meet the "zero cost, infinite TAM" investment thesis. Zero interest rate meant you got a super long runway to keep the fantasy going. We have a glut of people who can launch and scale tech companies and there aren't as many opportunities for that as there were three years ago.

When you try to catch a ball playing some sport are you thinking "I need to catch this ball", or are you imagining its path and yourself moving to catch it? I'm usually talking to myself in my mind, but I can't imagine doing it when speed is important, thinking with words takes like 10 times longer.

Or when you look at a photo and think which person is taller - are you thinking in words? Cause I'm imagining cutting and pasting one person next to the other and comparing them visually.

When you try to remember a song melody you probably don't use words to describe the sounds (it was c, g, e, d, ..) you probably imagine the melody in your head, right?

That's pretty fun to think about. I'd love to see node/graph operations in general become more commonplace and standardized.

Unfortunately, I think my node/graph dopamine pathways have been forever altered by node/graph QoL[1] issues that, while native to, and applicable to, every node/graph design system, almost never seem to be addressed before they become gigantic workflow speedbumps. And when they are addressed, they are still, in 2023, treated as awesome new features.

I think an applicable comparison might be e.g. a programming environment which locks you into its own text editor, and while initially excited by the language features, you soon find that the text editor doesn't support copy/paste, let alone duplicate-line, or any other fancy stuff that's really no longer fancy.

Still, I'd be interested to learn about other similar languages, in the case that FMJ might no longer be under development...

If I were interested in doing teardowns, I'd see what others are doing by googling.

The first result is for IFixIt's teardowns[1]. So I'd watch/read their teardowns and decide:

- What I like most about their teardowns.

- What I like least about their teardowns and what I'd do differently.

- Which teardown formats I prefer: videos or step-based, liveblog style with photos.

If you truly want to add to the knowledge graph, I suppose you'd want to use both video, as well as well-articulated and search optimized step-by-step web page.

I'm conflicted on such sandboxed approaches. On one hand it makes sense to shield learners from more frustrating things like grokking actual software artifacts, systems design problems and interfaces. On the other hand, programming logic per se is pretty damned simple, shouldn't take a hundred slides to impart, and the real challenge is actually figuring out interfaces and artifacts.

If we create the expectation that it's all about logic and that the environment should automagically work, aren't we crippling learners? How can someone design or debug if they don't know how things actually fit together behind the scenes?
This isn't very kind, in fact it's an outright personal attack. Worse, it misses the point, it's about making a quick back-of-the-napkin calculation as business consultant while making OKRs.

The problem with adding segmentation for more accurate calculations is there's always one more person who can sneer it's inaccurate because there wasn't enough segments. This type of person tends to move on from marketing / data science quickly, real world constraints are very frustrating to them

With motorcycles, it's a choice, but loud bikes are tied very closely to perceived power and manliness for some riders, plus the whole patently-bullshit POV of "loud pipes save lives." Honestly, it's MOSTLY Harley riders, at least in the US.

I have a motorcycle. It's louder than a car is, but it's not obnoxiously loud at all. You can't hear it from inside YOUR car, for example. Further, I can have a conversation with someone without turning the bike off. MOST motorcycles are like this, in fact. But the loud assholes kinda ruin the overall reputation for everyone.
>Based on what? ... In fact, Go Proverbs even says so.

And the Go style guide says otherwise: if err is non-nil, you shouldn't even check the other return values. The Go proverbs are just words, it doesn't make them true or even good ideas. When Go proverbs don't agree with how Go code is written, including idiomatic Go code, reality wins over a bad theory. The Go style guide happens to better match real code written by real people, even the people directly responsible for the proverbs.

>I'd love to see some real-world code you think is idiomatic

To be fair, I have been talking about the Go programming language and idiomatic code written in that language. You seem to have a different idea of "Idiomatic Go" from everyone else's. Most of the stdlib, including the newest additions, is idiomatic as judged by other people but evidently not by you.

The word is still friend. In English we use that one word and it covers a lot of nuances in meaning. We know it and we're used to it. It's the context of the language. Do we need a bunch of other words to further break down all the different levels that friend could convey? My thought is no.

Using labels helps too identify and categorize things. As part of that categorization you get separation. Adding in more separation in our society seems a bad thing to me especially around social constructs. If you develop eight different words to replace the usage of friend and all the varying contexts and nuances that it has, what has it gotten you that you didn't already know? What it does is place barriers between you and the people you meet. Now people will be wondering why they are only at friend level 2 instead of friend level 5. Because you put a label on it. Everyone knows the levels of their friends. If you meet someone at a bar and chat with them for an hour and you say have a good evening my friend we know that this is unlikely to be a person that you could call up at 4:00 a.m. because your house is on fire and you need a place to stay. We don't really need nuanced words to describe it. All of this kind of thinking separates people and promotes social competition in an unhealthy way. Ultimately the labeling someone as a friend level that they don't believe they are could cause you to lose them entirely.

The depth of friendships are known by actions and we should leave it as such.
