Regarding 1) you can try to appear bigger than life sized:

Get an advisor or contractors or business developer and put them on the "team" page

Make PR like announcements on LinkedIn or Twitter or your newsletter - try to copy the style of corporates

Do free trials/collaborations with midsized customers and then list them as customers on your landing page

Get references from your end users. It doesn't even have to be key opinion leaders but if they are in the business try to get them to agree to a statement and that their face and title would be on your page.

Get a part-time employee if it's possible for your customers to find out how many employees you have.

> It will force a measure of actual aptitude

Which is almost impossible. Exams just measure your aptitude at passing exams, with the hope that they somehow don't generalize too badly. If we had a way to measure "actual" aptitude, job interviews would be very different. But we don't.

The ideal school system is one where students want to learn, as opposed to one where students want to make good grades. Unfortunately that's hard to get, but it should not be forgotten.
There is no way anyone familiar with the guy wouldn’t already know this, but his podcast Hypercritical was great and has aged well.
His is 1/3rd of ATP and there is content overlap. The main problem I find is that once he has complained about something, I can’t unsee it. It’s heavily Apple focussed and gives a lightweight and often hilarious version of his old reviews.

Episode 96 ‘Windows of Siracusa County’ was amazing.

An early story of Ballard, "The Voices of Time" blew my young mind as a teenager and single-handedly projected me toward a future career in distant places, a journey I could scarcely have imagined from my life on a remote midwest farm. It was immensely gratifying decades later to have an opportunity to thank the author personally after a lecture in London.

Just in case there are any "future me's" out there, here's a link to an unpredictable future adventure.

> forcing ISPs to take a total hands off approach to every traffic source on their pipes? That wasn't one of them.

Verizon FIOS back in like 2014-2018 was in a constant pissing match with Netflix over who would pay for peering. Netflix wanted to pay for their half, and have Verizon pay for their half. Verizon wanted Netflix to pay not only the real costs of both sides, but a huge fee to offset "excess traffic". When Netflix (and Google, etc) decided to not pay, multi-megabyte speeds dropped to a few kilobytes a second. Hopping on a VPN to route the traffic around Verizon got speeds back to normal.

ISPs should be forced to peer with whoever wants to pay for peering.

HN prefers but does not require the original title.

HN does not permit submitter editorialising.

Where the original title is clickbait, which may include editorialising, HN requests that submitters change the title, if at all possible to some phrase within the article.

Another de facto rule concerns "title fever", which is when a title is so distracting that it overwhelms the content of the article in discussion.

From the guidelines:

If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.

If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

I'm cooking a leg of lamb now from my local Safeway. It costs $7/lb, which is the same as chuck roast. But it's maybe 1/4 more expensive due to that big leg bone (which my dog values highly). Still that feels like the price is comparable to beef, but a nice alternative flavor.

> Carbon offsets always seemed to me to be a way of ameliorating one's guilt of one's pollution.

This is actually very common.

Here me out - EVs are not bad and in most scenarios produce less emissions than ICE vehicles. But they are similarly used to displace guilt about emissions.

EVs don’t eliminate emissions as some assume. They just displace them further up the supply chain. And if electricity is generated primarily by coal (which is the case in China, for example, which boasts about EVs) then it actually increases emissions. EVs aren’t inherently cleaner, but they do inherently hide emissions.

This does not describe every proponent of EVs but it does describe too many proponents of EVs.
Just you is also a plus: nobody to convince, 100% focus on the product. If you can hack it for a while like that until you need to bring in more people it may work to your advantage, unless you don't like working alone. One thing it will save you from is co-founder trouble (which is pretty common). One thing where you'll be week is criticism of your ideas and implementation, try to find people to have these roles for you in your network, this can be completely remote.

Save. Whenever you can. Make sure you have plenty of money in the bank once you have some surplus, one day you'll need it and the size of your bankroll will determine whether or not your first crisis will be your last.

Other than that: where you are can be an advantage if the cost of living isn't high.

Marketing: make sure your customers are happy first, then ask if they can be used as references, plenty of them will go to bat for you if your product is good. They might even give you referrals. Good and happy customers >> marketing budget.

As for fundraising: unless you have a very solid plan I wouldn't bother for now, first get your stuff established a bit and then when you have more substance if you are still interested in raising funds you could do it but make sure it is an option and not a must because otherwise you will hand control to your investors before they're even on board (and they are pretty good at detecting that).

best of luck!

This is like claiming that there is no physical temperature because "hot" water for a bathtub is different from "hot" water for a tea (and different from "hot" air during a summer day).

Perhaps we should use two different word for the "perceived time" and for the "clock time". The good days, when I go to sleep all the night appears to go away in an instant, but it isn't. It's more useful to have a physical defined "clock time" and then explain why the brain is bad estimating durations using the "perceived time".

My last company did a speed run from "we need to build competency in house" to "internal employees are costly and outsourcing will help us reduce cost" in just 3 years.

I was called to a meeting room and told my role was redundant. The HR somehow felt that I would break down into tears. I was calm. He asked if I already had another job offer. I didn't and I had to tell him that breaking down wasn't going to help either of us in the discussion.

To make matters worse this happened just as COVID news started hitting the waves. That is starting of Feb 2020. Most of the companies had stopped interviews. And then in March shutdowns started. I was out of job between a raging pandemic. No idea when things would open back up. And everyone saying the economy was done and there might not be a job even if things started to open up.

2 months later, in May - at the height of the pandemic - I got an opportunity but came at a cost. Because I was so afraid of not having job - I accepted a 20% pay cut.

But 3 years later things have turned out positively. I am making more than 2020 level and got a promotion into middle management and now pushing higher.

There is a social stigma of being "laid off" or rather "fired". Not many people appreciate that companies can lay off people for things unrelated to performance or other issues. Some are understanding if the lay off hits the news cycle. But if you are working with a smaller company that never happens.

Fedora Silverblue with Pipewire will just use a single subsystem and that's it. Inmutable OS and the rest of software it's Flatpak. The issues are gone. Oh, you need a proper devel environment with dnf/rpm? Just use "toolbox enter" and install all the complex envs under that container.
Networking is quite different in my book. There is no event - it's a call to an old friend who now works as a VP at a different company. It's a lunch with another pm on the last project. It's a beer with ex colleges to see who found greener pastures. It's a coffee with someone I don't have 1 on 1 anymore but we do it anyway because he catched a big carp and want to show the pictures.

If you need a new job you can reach out to them and they will help. If you have plan you have people to talk about and maybe find someone willing to help.

> School is not an adversary, school is here to teach.

This is debatable, at least in the US. In many cases, higher ed is here to offer a credential and network regardless of true aptitude since many students will simply not use the majority of what they are supposed to be learning in their career.

Put another way, students were already using things like ratemyprofessor to deliberately tailor their courses for easier grades back when I was in school, plus memorizing older exams rather than studying the core material in detail, or just straight up paying someone else to write papers for you. AI is an extension of this, not something new.
I'd like to see that too, but even with Sidebery I have been using Safari more because of its tab groups (and I have found the extensions lacking). It seems Mozilla is not interested in that idea any more. Without tab groups, its a stark difference that feels like the olden days when you had IE (no tabs) and FF (tabs). You just can't go back if they are useful to you.

The way to understand the origin of fossil fuel deposits is that hundreds of millions of years ago trees were made of plastic.

Thats not quite literally true but it gives the right sense. In the Carboniferous period trees grew abundently but there were not yet bacteria that could break down the lignins composing the woody structure. Its very similar to what you'd get with plastic trees today: they would fall and pile up like junk in a landfill. Then eventually this would be buried and result in the many-meters-thick coal deposits we find today.

Lessons? I don't know. But piles of un-decomposable hydrocarbons is not a new thing for the planet.
Indeed. And there is no option to disable the behavior - so the user has lost control over their own vehicle.

It's similar to how PSD2 demanded specific payment flows and thus Google Pay was born - yeah they could have implemented it in a more privacy-friendly way (like Apple did), but they didn't - and EU demands the flows, so card-like payments without an online backend are no longer possible with your phone. Thanks EU!
cool, thanks! I'm sort of surprised it didn't get attention via some other path, but then I never got around to filling a ticket myself :-)
Men mating with younger women is just statistics. The average age of fertile men is considerably higher than the average age of fertile women, so all else being equal we should expect to see older men pairing with younger women. No -isms are necessary. Now evidently many post-fertile women are annoyed by this reality, but oh well that’s life.

Likewise younger men just have to deal with the fact that women in their age group are generally going to be more attracted to older men. I hear that the dating scene for young men is pretty brutal these days, but at least they can look forward to it getting better.
So basically, Apple's focus on user privacy had the knock-on effect of ruining Amazon's potential competition?

Mine didn't. Verizon blackmailed Netflix and Google repeatedly for access to their network. YouTube and Netflix were unusuable for FIOS customers until they came to an agreement where Netflix gave piles of cash to Verizon.
The first step is admitting there's a problem. So... that's nice.
I know that is a popular line to say.

Economically, maybe, but not really. I think Europe is a lot better about hiding their corporate interests than the USA, but I think it's still largely capitalism-for-real behind the socialism-for-show. I can't think of how that statement is true, unless you look at things USA Left wants that they are unable to get, then saying they're conservative because they didn't get them. Like socialized healthcare.

What part are Democrats conservative over Europeans liberals? Healthcare, no I don't think so. Immigration? No. Guns? No. Free speech? No. Low taxes and small government? No. Abortion? lol no. Democrats in the USA were so up in arms over a 15 week limit in Missippi that they took it to the Supreme Court and lost Roe v Wade, but most of Europe is happily swimming along with 12 week bans.

So, maybe I just don't see it, but I hear this line all the time from progressives that are frustrated at Democrats for not doing all the hard left things they want. What am I missing? USA Democrats aren't conservative because they have a conservative party that opposes them.

What are USA Democrats so conservative at in their actual actions and desires?
This looks really cool! I'm excited to see a production deployment of DiskANN.

According to the single-threaded QPS experiments, your DiskANN solution should clock in at about 4.5ms latency (1000ms/224QPS) whereas pgvector is about 5.8ms latency (1000ms/173QPS). How is that possible? My (very shallow) knowledge of DiskANN vs HNSW tells me that DiskANN should generally have higher latency than HNSW — DiskANN needs to touch the SSD while HNSW only touches RAM.

Also, compared to pgvector and HNSWPQ in faiss, how much less RAM does your DiskANN-based solution use?

It seems like it can be transformative organizationally at some point, but for individuals I agree I don't see what people are getting. I seem to be able to pretty much do the things I want to do and achieve the things I want to achieve in terms of sheer information discovery and generation. The qualities that might improve my life are things like better relationships with my family, finally having a child and ensuring it's healthy and happy, my wife somehow having her alcoholism cured, possibly overcoming certain physical limitations related to aging and injuries. I don't feel like any meaningful life outcomes are currently being impeded by an inability to generate code fast enough or find information I need from the Internet or the fact that my queries and commands to computing systems largely have to follow a pre-defined structure.

Legitimate advances in cheap robotics, on the other hand, could maybe make a dent. It feels to me like the things that might make a difference in my life are help with physical labor, not intellectual labor. A nanny, a maid, a driver, that I don't need to pay a salary to.
