You don't need to do _wild_ savings to retire at an age where you can enjoy your health in the US, as a tech worker.

Cost of living is skyrocketing where in the US and to what degree higher than its EU equivalent? The EU has borne the brunt of inflation so I'm having a hard time seeing where EU citizens are paying less to live than Americans.

> The horror. Personally, I'll take stagnant economic growth over statistics that get pumped by tech firms that are richer than entire countries in europe - Microsoft and Apple are individually worth more than Italy.

Ok. Economic growth is not a vanity metric for pumped up tech firms to move the needle on. Economic growth has direct effects on comparative quality of life. Trying to make some other, vaguely conspiratorial, equivalence is ignorant at the least.
There have been many attempts to do multi modal pre training, the difficulty is finding the right combination of data for it to be “useful” and “scalable”. It’s not trivial to just train a transformer on video, text, audio, etc. mainly due to O(N^2) on the token counts, time components with video, etc

Some unions are better than others, but all unions are democratic (at least to some degree) and engaged members can improve them.
I agree with this summarization but I don't see an issue with carrying three separate devices (three separate batteries!).
What you said is true, its something we would have to figure out on the way.

What I have in mind is -

1. Topic specialized models which are frequently updated maybe every month or two.

2. Fact Checking & Moderation specialized, models which moderate or do fact checking on other model's output.

Kind of a chicken and egg problem. But I believe on the way we will be able to minimize the effects of hallucinations through output validation (both neural and rule based).
I know intuition is often wrong, but to me a mix of dedicated visual processing AI and language AI and sound AI all somehow interacting with each other would be a good way to make an “animal” like AI rather than throw loads of attention heads at everything all at once.
My Linux install does dumb shit (technical term) all the time, but I find it's a small price to pay for software that doesn't hate me.

Case in point: I just upgraded to the newish Xubuntu 23.04 the other day, and now my default sound output device changes (to the wrong one) every time I come out of sleep mode.

A small price to pay.
What I wish I’d known when I started Indie Hacking
It's been a long journey since I started Indie Hacking!

I was broke from most of it and now my product Podsqueeze is making close to 12K MRR

So I decided to breakdown the most important lessons from my indie journey

I hope it helps other makers!

The Decision: Quitting a Job or Pursuing a Side Hustle?
As an indie hacker, I've learned that starting from scratch requires 100% of one's time. It's not just about building the right product, but also learning how to be an entrepreneur. Traditional education often doesn't teach the necessary business skills, so dedicating time to learning and experimenting is crucial.

If you're considering this path, I recommend saving enough money to have a runway of at least one year.

This financial stability contributes to mental well-being and helps gain credibility with those around you who may not understand the unconventional lifestyle of an indie hacker.

The Marathon of Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is like running a marathon without knowing the distance to the finish line. Managing both financial resources and mental well-being throughout the journey is vital.

I've experienced anxiety and financial uncertainty when I first became unemployed, which emphasized the need to prioritize mental health and find ways to vent and reflect on my feelings. Avoid burning out and remember that rest is an essential part of the routine for a successful indie maker.

The Audience-First Approach

Instead of starting with an idea, I suggest starting with an audience or target customer. Understand their problems, language, and how to reach them. This makes it easier to create or find multiple problems to solve for that audience.
Once you've identified an audience, it's important to find a problem to solve. Every product should solve a problem, and it's essential to understand if the problem is already being solved and how it can be solved better.

Building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Don't spend too much time on research. Instead, focus on building a minimum viable product (MVP) quickly.

What are the minimum set of features needed to solve the problem?

Finding Product-Market Fit

Finding a product that immediately gains traction and generates enthusiasm from users is crucial.
Podsqueeze early users were patient and engaged, providing feedback and requesting features.

If after one month your product have not reached this positive abnormal growth.

Kill it and start a new one!

The Importance of a Co-Founder

Having a co-founder has been a game-changer for me. It provides support and allows for task delegation. Trust and mutual effort are crucial for the success of the partnership.

In those worst cases, workers are almost always still better off with the union deal.

Or the capable engineers who can't/don't want to up and move to thousands of miles away from their lives.
I'm convinced that the M2 MacBook Air is by far the best portable work device. It's got enough horsepower yet light enough to not break your back over. Previously, I've been carrying the latest 15inch and then 16 inch MacBook Pro since 2012 when I travel.

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 with the magic keyboard as a device that's not purely for work but honestly, it's been collecting dust and I use it perhaps once a week to read news on the couch. It's pretty much a glorified note taker, a way to browse pictures/videos on a bigger screen, and respond to non-serious emails. For what I'm using, I don't think it's worth the $999+ price point.
I know the intent is good (it is!) but this common notion that good design is a toolbox of fun little games really prevents the design function from getting taken more seriously. In the business world at least it ensures our seat at the kid’s table.
You said the quiet part out loud. I think you're supposed to be a little less obvious at trolling.
> Ultimately why would you buy it if it's just an inferior laptop with a touchscreen that you can detach?

For the same reason you carry an "inferior" camera, pda, navigation system, cellphone with very short battery life and undersized movie screen: a smartphone does all that okay-ishly. Or why ultrabooks are vastly more popular than gaming laptops. Convenience and form factor trump "inferior" all the time.
The other element which appears unsaid is that in a typical datacentre, your bisection bandwidth is typically << (num computers * network bandwidth per computer). Or in other words, even if your computation is bandwidth and not latency starved, you're not obviously going to be able to do a gigantic data shuffle quickly unless it's within a rack. This is to say, I'm not sure _just how much_ this would affect your overall target system architecture at present. Once you're switching at a couple of terabits things are likely quite different in those terms.

The other element which is a bit scary is that it's fairly rare these days for mass market companies to index deeply on tech which isn't available in public clouds, so until AWS supports this sort of thing, it's unlikely that many folks will target it. You can kind of see this with the Optane PDIMMs - they looked absolutely fantastic, but given you couldn't get them on any AWS instance there wasn't much point actually trying to use them outside of very specific applications - as a software engineer this hardware lets me build my software very differently and in a simpler way, but how can I possibly risk architecting based on that if it then cannot support a customer's cloud migration?

Obviously v different in HPC contexts.

And it should always be said - latency is very different between these. Memory latency still measured in nanoseconds, PCIe latency still measured in 10s of microseconds, about 3 orders of magnitude difference.
Agreed. The right to complain I suppose. Like blowing raspberries up wind.
One company I worked for enforced vacations. If someone from work absolutely had to call you on your vacation day, ask a question or password, anything, you'd get a do-over for your day. No one ever called anyone on vacation without a damn good reason. Checking and answering emails on vacation was discouraged as well

The small issue with reviving Joy Silk is that the Supreme Court is the one that abandoned it.

As such, the NLRB, despite what they may want, doesn't actually have the authority to revive it.

They are just hoping the facts in this case are egregious enough that a court lets it slide.

That may or may not happen - the NLRB traditionally does not have the greatest success in court, even in days where unions were much more supported in the US than they are now.

One outcome in fact is that the courts decide to gut the power of the NLRB

As an aside: when modern medicine puts 'idiopathic' in front of any condition it means that the doctors don't know what's going on (yet).

Thats still interesting, as finetunes for different languages can be made using similar methodologies.
While the underlying model may not have 'understanding', the iterative process of interacting with the model creates a context that in my experience has captured part of the 'area of interest' during a pair programming session, our interactions have created a unique context that means the model responds as if it has modelled an 'understanding', it is something more than simply a text record of our conversation.
Can’t they afford holidays? They are the world first economy with a descent margin.
Every company that has to follow ITAR does this. Its simply not feasible to determine and continuously monitor the legibility of asylees and refugees.

Set aside how expensive it will be, you will inevitably end up breaking ITAR laws which is significantly worse.
when did they mention socialism?

how is what they said incorrect?
I don’t think it was particularly fair. The reason is probably that the question was poorly formed: it’s like asking how much of a performance benefit an application gets from "read" (not exactly like that; you could implement locking without futexes, it would just typically be worse, potentially by a lot, and doesn’t really work in as many cases). It also isn’t really the topic which should really be the new api rather than current futexes, though that sort of thinking doesn’t really stop anyone.

A better question to ask might have been for examples of cases improved by the new api. (Or rather by the new features that can be added thanks to the new api). An example improvement is that by having smaller futexes (8-bit instead of 32-bit) you can fit more in a cache line which could matter for some applications, I guess.
Probably: one click to select a file/folder, and one click on an already selected file/folder to open them? As opposed to windows, which doesn't open a file/folder if you single click on a selected icon.
Meh, $350k is good but comparatively not even too much in some areas of the US, like NY or SF.

> There's no one in Europe making that as dev, not even in the Netherlands or Switzerland, not even close!

Exactly! Which is ridiculous! And people always bring up "free healthcare!" as a counter but it doesn't really offset this vast discrepancy for someone with a generally healthy lifestyle. How are people in Europe wage-slaving like that all their life?

Edit: Lest it is misunderstood, this is not to demean the people. Rather, it is meant to critique the system. Free healthcare shouldn't mean having to give up indefinitely more in other regards. Furthermore, I'm sure European corporations too make millions and billions of €€ every year, so why can't they afford to pay competitively? Lastly taxes are obviously way too high and the pension rates are ridiculous for working 40-50 yrs. In short I'm critiquing the whole system.

Just imagine, you have the same skill, same daily struggles, same effort, same trouble waking up in the morning... but you make in a day what your mirror in another place makes in an hour.
For me the dream stems more for the realization that there is almost no way of living an environmentally sustainable lifestyle while participating in society.

I want to have a zero carbon footprint now, not in 50 years. This is just not possible if I have to buy food at the grocery store, take fossil fuel powered transport or just generally participate in the economy of a system which still strives for infinite growth.

Meanwhile, when living in a self sufficient community, it becomes absolutely possible to reach that goal, or even be carbon negative.

Of course collapse is a very real possibility. But collapse is often asynchronous, occurring at different times in different places. In first world countries, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't even happen within my lifetime, or at all In that case, will I feel bad that I decided to disengage early from a destructive society and live by my own beliefs? I don't believe so.
> And Canada.

As a Canadian: what?
Other similar projects require a CGI-capable web server. This one instead uses djb's tcpserver. Guess next step will be to drop any external dependencies.
The only reason TikTok was banned in US is because its Chinese company. Have you completely missed all-out trade/informational/technology war US has declared on China in past few years? Huawei, ban on chips and so on and on.

Facebook is doing exactly the same and wish to emulate TikTok as much as possible, sharing all data with US 3-letter agencies as required (most probably meaning everything all the time). They are just behind and lost the social momentum. Haven't heard anything about Meta products ban in US, probably because it will never ever happen.

Your thought experiment isn't the same scenario.

The actual scenario is this: "If you have a peach, would you declare the fleshy part non-existent if it had a certain probability of reallocating itself to a single spot once the pit achieves a certain mass density and if you touch it, there is only a small probability that you can even feel that the flesh is there?"
Wait till I start telling you about how we should be using tau as a replacement for 2 pi!

In all seriousness, we wouldn't accept this kind of thing in the standard library of a programming language.

Imagine if due to a historical mistake, all arrays reported their length as 2x the number of items in them, and indices would similarly be multiplied by two. So the first item would be a[0], and then a[2], a[4], etc...

Now imagine the entire software development world making excuses and justifications. "Oh, it's isomorphic, and shift-left-by-one is cheap!", or "sure, you can only use half of the system memory for any single array, but do you really need more than 2GB of data? 64-bit is common now anyway!"

Physics is in a dire need of refactoring, but it has never had it happen. My opinion of studying it was that I didn't expect it to be the "history of physics". I expected to be studying the current state of the art, not the three-hundred-year journey of comedic errors getting there.

Imagine starting Chemistry by studying alchemy for years and only then being told -- oh -- there's these things called atoms!

Or trying to understand Linux by reading the commit history from day one.

Etc...
The Zimablade is an upcoming low-cost x86 personal server
Cheap x86/x64 SBC, without RAM, but with SATA and PCI-e ports. The CPU is bottom of the barrel Celeron, but again, it starts at $64... looks interesting.

You only have to click/tap once, right? At least on mobile. Or was this changed?

Honestly that "undo" thing sounds like the least intuitive feature in the world to me. Would just seem like glitchy behavior to me.

Regarding OP:

> If you're ever in the position to provide a comparison of two images in a Web page like this, please consider providing a button to toggle back and forth between the two. (The toggling can also show the label for which is currently being shown.)

> Neither mechanism this Web page provides is as useful as that, IMHO.

But the "show only left/right" buttons below the slider do exactly that, no? The 0.5s animation would not be needed ok.

And the labels are not clear. A single toggle button with changing label would be great, I agree

> TBH I've always like the little 'wiper' widget that I can control and swipe back and forth at my own volition.

The part that's missing here is the drag function right.

Also, the sliding thing can be selected like text.

Good example for something where using polished components is better than one/off code, IMO.

E.g. something like this
https://img-comparison-slider.sneas.io/examples.html

Agree with OP about the button thing, that's really the clearest and simplest thing and should be added to such a component for better discoverability and to make the slider thing optional
yt-dlp is its successor, but I'm having a lot of trouble with it too.

Yes, but I am not generating anything.
We are talking about a few weeks of holidays, it’s something they can afford. Europeans can. The people that already have better and don’t want the same for everyone are selfish and not thinking much about what could happen to them in the future.
A pure bash web server is indeed possible using a loadable builtin. See: https://github.com/dzove855/Bash-web-server (discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29794979).
Humans have a brain that physically changes especially in childhood, so that is potentially a massive advantage.
It is a dark pattern to ask the user to switch defaults to a product randomly presenting an action button which tricks the user into clicking something they have no desire to change.

It's desktop spam. Like receiving an email trying to get you to click a link and install malware.
Personal computers started open, the iPad started as closed. The author is trying to get the twain to meet.

Myself, I've always seen the iPad as a "media consumption device" (despite the amazing Procreate) and never bothered to try to shoehorn it into another role.

My laptop and desktops will remain my primary devices forever I suspect.
This actually sounds pretty reasonable to me, and I think would be a positive step forward in terms of transparency and accountability.

If I understand the proposal correctly, there are some activities that utilities are prohibited from pursuing using ratepayer funds or pushing those costs down into the rate base, and for other types of costs, the burden of proof is borne by the utility to justify whether charging those costs back to the ratepayers (I.e., including them in the rate base) is fair, reasonable and justifiable.

If a utility wants to pursue these activities, they certainly can, but the costs to do it will come out of their “discretionary” funds - so that it’ll reduce the reasonable rate of return they’re entitled to receive on their costs to provide services.
> At least - thanks to the EU - soon they can all share the same USB-C charger.

Nitpick, but I've been using the same usb-c charger for years. Soon they can all share the same cable.
It is not inspired by, it's friendly fork, so its more than inspiration. Code has diverged a bit, yes I do try to share. Karpathy's llama2.c upstream project has clearly stated goals of elegance and simplicity, so code that has lot of pre-processor directives like ours won't help upstream. Apart from this we are very thankful to jart & contributors from the cosmopolitan project and also the unikraft folks without which binary portability or unikernels wouldn't have been possible.

TL;DR Simple elegant stuff that we added will be shared to upstream. Complex non elegant code won't be shared as it won't be accepted upstream.
Not even that, ITAR and other regulations are "vague" because a non-legal person just being in the room where ITAR work is performed can be considered a violation of ITAR. Then you have to spare significant expense sectioning off buildings, access control and security just to maintain that ITARness.

This makes non-ITAR compliant janitors a harder bargain to hire. Same for the cafeteria workers the DOJ mentions, they may overhear discussion of ITAR work in the cafeteria and that's a problem.

For companies that mostly do ITAR work, it's a no brainer to stick to hiring just ITAR compliant individuals. Companies would fall over themselves to hire cheap labor otherwise LOL.
It works for me. Where are you located?
I find the Microsoft Surface Pro works in this niche much better than the Yoga devices - they're lighter, smaller and the keyboard cover can be removed entirely for a tablet experience.
Money isn't actually all that important in politics. Including campaign financing.

See https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/09/18/too-much-dark-money-in... for some numbers and a deeper analysis.

(Also, whenever you hear about some scandal in the news that involves politicians and money, the sums are almost always laughably low compared to eg government budget or compensation for top CEOs in the private sector. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDU_donations_scandal for a German example.)

I agree with the rest of your comment about organisations being made up of different people with different motivations, not a hive mind.
Why do you assume it’s the only one targeted?
Right now training is insanely expensive because Nvidia, but I don't think that's sustainable given the demand. Eventually, training hardware may be priced like commodity CPU instances, and won't require a bajillion infiniband-linked nodes for respectable throughput.

But for now... I think you have a point. We would have seen more than Falcon, MPT, Llama, and the open Llama reproductions by now if open source foundational model training was viable.
Judging by OP's twitter profile, he seems to be a communist, so advocating for violence against political opponents is not surprising.
