Regarding (1), are you selling B2B or B2C. I've found that B2C customers typically don't care that much, and if anything they are happy to be communicating with the founder. This is true once you have something built. It may be different when you're still at the idea phase, and thinking about building.

B2B customers will definitely care. Some will ask you to have millions in insurance and source code in escrow before they'll work with you. But there are some out there that are more flexible, or who just don't think about it that much.

Regarding (3), it's good to be in a big city for networking purposes, but these days it doesn't really matter that I'm in SV. I go to meetups only occasionally, and most of my networking happens at conferences. If you're finding it's hard to talk with customers remotely, then I guess it would be worth it to consider relocating. But I'd prioritize keeping the burn rate low, which means your small town is going to win out over a big city.
Oh thanks! I actually never considered this a direct application. I suspect I can shorten my prompt considerably.

But, I'm not convinced about "common". I've had several highly educated people, from top tier universities, outright offended that I would guess about anything, rather than go straight to the literature. But, they were also no fun.
That doesn't seem likely. According to this source, Frey Meyer (18.4%) + Safeway (17.3%) would be the clear market leader with over 35%, but there's still robust competition from Costco, Walmart, and others.

When people say "dissolve the TSA", they don't mean: "I want all the security theatre, it's just that I want private industry to do it". They mean: "eliminate the security theatre, thus vastly decreasing the number of people employed to perform security theatre operations". It's a jobs program because all of theatre needs a huge number of bodies to perform the play.
This isn't a tools.deps specific functionality. Pomegranate has always allowed one to dynamically add dependencies to a running Clojure REPL. Now that add-lib was added in Clojure 1.12 alpha, people do not need to use pomegranate to dynamically add dependencies. In fact, Leiningen itself can make use of add-lib.

Bluetooth usually introduces some pretty big delays to sound. Sometimes video players can synchronize themselves, but controls will have a weird lag even for audio-only applications and hopefully you don't want to do anything interactive.

And speaking of interactive, your typical bluetooth device will drop to horrendous quality if you switch into headset mode.
The local Kroger supermarket has Kroger branded items on the shelf right next to the national brand. The latter is always more expensive, I usually buy the Kroger brand.

The supermarket wouldn't stock the national brands at all if customers weren't buying them.
> Putting Ballard on a master’s course list, as I’ve done a couple of times, provokes a reaction that’s both funny and illuminating. Asked to read Crash or The Atrocity Exhibition, the more vociferous students invariably express their revulsion, while the more reflective ones voice their frustration that, although the ideas might be compelling, the prose “isn’t good.”

I've been in these kinds of courses. I always found the least helpful part to be hearing people's opinions about books, especially what didn't work for them. The opinions of a group of grad students is pretty worthless to me. Even the hotter takes, which can be entertaining, do not forward my understanding of reading or writing.

What's much more valuable is acknowledging that it is a book, it was published, people did get something out of it—sometimes many people—and then asking why that might be. I always wanted to break apart the mechanics of the style, the architecture of the story's structure, ask why the author did certain things instead of certain other things, etc. What I got instead was an airing of personal grievances, set vaguely against the backdrop of the story, with thin (or nonexistent) textual evidence as support. I always wanted the professor to say "I don't care, what made you think I would care about what you just said?" but they never did.

In fairness, neither did I. But, those classes were my vaccine against academia and literary criticism, so they were not useless and probably saved me from a career of sitting through that.

The hardware supports it fine, if you ran any other OS it'd work.

OSX refuses to support it because it eats into their monitor sales that use an alternative TB-based multiplexing protocol (which is only available on Apple devices, which are, well, not the world's best monitors, yet somehow the most expensive per square inch in a lot of cases).

All the various incarnations as far back as Ivy Bridge's TB2 should have working support in Windows and Linux. I have physically tested it on my MBPR from that era, and it worked, and I know of other people's newer OS-swapped Macs also working.

Lack of MST support in OSX has historically blocked 4k early adopters: 4k screens exported themselves as two logical displays due to 4k monitors coming out ahead of HBR2-capable controllers.

As for ARM-era Macs, as far as I know, they licensed a common ASIC block for their DisplayPort transceiver, which is also what AMD, Nvidia, and Intel have done. So, their hardware should still support it fine, but I have no clue if Asahi's work on the GPU driver has gotten MST to work.

World renewable at around 12% * in 2022 [1], Nuclear is 9%. "2x current renewable and nuclear" for reclamation involves tripling current installations, and then it's another nearly 5x increase on current installations just to "stop emitting carbon".

Yes they are forced to work. If you don't have a job you starve, that's how our economy works. That's a very soft form of force (specifically, a sin of omission), but it is still force.

Likewise, quitting your job is extremely disruptive and carries risk of bankruptcy if you can't get on to another employer in time. It's not simply a matter of "switch to the best offer available".
Or couldn't we just build a ton of nukes and start sucking? The power ratio only matters when power actually has a real cost.
This is a huge deal, congrats! We've had a ton of users asking how to run their own LLMs on Linux and the unfortunate answer was always that the existing options were slightly complicated.

FWIW, I had no problem building it, but I'm an EE with decades of experience and the right tools like a proper temperature-controlled soldering station, hot air, magnification, paste/flux/wick, etc. I agree it would not be reasonable for someone without both a modicum of skill and the right tools.

Having taught a number of coworkers to solder, it's hard to convey exactly what difficulty that entails without either scaring off worried potential buyers who could do it or giving overconfident buyers who can't do it an excess of confidence. There's probably a good deal of overlap between those two groups. Thanks for pulling it temporarily while you figure out a compromise.

I did wish that the guidance on the JST connector orientation was better - a little silkscreen with "1 BLK" and "8 PUR", or a representation of the connector tabs/slot orientation, would have meant I didn't have to squint at photos.

I've only eaten mutton in heavily spiced dishes and it does go very well in those settings - you need other strong flavors to stand up to the gaminess of the mutton, which might be why it hasn't caught on in American cuisine which tends to focus less on heavy spice profiles and more on just cooking ingredients to present their natural flavors.
I feel like the one thing that is systematically missed about generative AI is the scale.

Yes, one could ask their older brother to help. But not everyone, not for every single homework.

Yes, one could manually find information about a target and forge a phishing e-mail. But generative AI make it much faster/easier.

The scale means that it is different. Saying "it is not a new issue" is a bit like saying (for the lack of a better example): "well children could always throw stones at each other, letting them have machine guns is not a new issue".
> I just have a hard time understanding how it is any different than brick and mortar companies using their sales data to determine which products they should have a store brand version of. Costco, Walmart, Target, etc. all do this, and have been doing it for decades.

The legal difference underlying the lawsuit between this behavior by Amazon and the behavior you raise by those stores is not the behavior, but its context.

Amazon, the complaint alleges, has durable monopolies in two relevant markets which the behavior leverages and reinforces, making it a means of illegally maintaining a monopoly.

The other stores do not have monopolies, so the behavior is not part of a system of illegally maintaining a monopoly.

This is very similar to the kind of discussion that happened at the time of the Microsoft antitrusts suit about bundling software: one of the ways Microsoft illegally leveraged their Windows monopoly – in this case to monopolize other markets rather than to maintain the Windows monopoly, but same kind of issue – was bundling IE with Windows. People made all kinds of “well, how is this different than maker A bundling software X with software Y”, and mostly it wasn’t, except that maker A didn’t have and thus wasn’t leveraging a monopoly in the market of software X, so them bundling software Y with it wasn’t an issue.
I don't use macOS so am unaffected, although I would think that they shouldn't need to support PostScript in the Preview. PostScript is not that good format for publishing and documents anyways (for, among other reasons, security), but it is good as a programming language.

I still do often use PostScript, but I have Ghostscript and the graphical output of the program (if it has any; some of them don't) can be made in many file formats, including PNG, PDF, PCL, etc (it doesn't have SVG output, although that might be helpful if you are making diagrams).

(There are some features I think would be good to add into PostScript, such as alpha transparency, auto-allocation (by specifying null where the object is expected; this is most useful for readline, in case you do not know the length of the input), a "unread" operator (like ungetc in C), being able to specify encodings separately from fonts, and others. Some features are in Ghostscript and are good to have, such as ARGUMENTS and %pipe%, and I do commonly use ARGUMENTS.)

(PDF isn't good either though, but at least it is a format for publishing and documents, despite its problems.)

No, burying is better because it sequesters the carbon rather than releasing it into the atmosphere.
What especially rankles is how Amazon doesn’t give a fuck about counterfeits. So they’re allowing counterfeits (amplifying the mentioned effect) to discourage direct-sellers from attempting to compete on price.

Meanwhile, I have to order from direct sellers to be sure I will get a genuine, new product. So I don’t even get Amazon’s lower-but-still-higher-than-optimal price, but a yet higher one.

As far as I’m concerned the whole company’s a giant scam and I can’t believe it still hasn’t caught up with them. They benefit so very much from enabling bad actors, and have for so long clearly without any serious attempt to stop it, that I’ll do a happy dance the day they go under or get broken up. I just wish the eventual consequences could force Bezos to have to work for a living again, since he’s built his empire on fucking people weaker than him. Shouldn’t get to keep a penny of it.

I've been thinking about how these personal LLMs fit into Klara and The Sun[0], book by Ishiguro from a few years ago. Written in first person from someone named Klara, who is an AF (artificial friend) "human" who is an assistants for families and children.

The scene in the book that stuck out to me, and that I feel fits with personal AI / LLM, was the scene where a person in the AF store was looking to possibly buy an upgraded AF. The one the family had was something like 3.5, and now that 4 was around, they should ditch the outdated AF and get a new one with more learning power.

If I was looking to get into the personal LLM space, and I agree with the reddit post linked, I feel like the process will be to be able to quickly spin these up and train them, and be aware that new ones are going to come and don't be overly attached to the old. Weird to type that out.

[0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klara_and_the_Sun
yeah, as a developer I've yet to see any development tasks that an LLM would be useful for, and it's wasting resources that could be going into abstract reasoning about software, or really doing anything correctly/accurately...

Is there a way to fully turn off the RTC on the esp and still go into sleep, or are you using the external RTC to enable/disable the chip itself?

I noted this in the "future work" section but I don't have a way to actually test or validate whether the various deep sleep levels are working. If I try to use the ammeter on a standard multimeter it can't cope with the changing ranges as the esp draws a bunch of power to boot and I think probably causes brownouts.

I'd say impulsivity and asymmetric extra opportunity.

A European can usefully learn English before knowing what they'll use it for, pounce on whatever opportunity arises in the more impulsive US economy, possibly multiple times in different places, make some extra money for some years, and then eventually return home to a lower cost of living. Going the other way requires more planning and more specific goals for no bigger a payoff than can be found domestically, which naturally filters out many people.

It's more insidious than simply bundling together access to certain websites. The main way that ISPs extract $$ out of content providers is by charging the content providers to peer to their network. If there isn't a recurring peering agreement in place, the ISP will let the content provider's peering interface overload which drives service quality down. Of course, the ISP ensures /their/ content provider is always on an interface with plenty of bandwidth to spare.

Personal LLMs make a lot of sense. Until they don't.

Right now, having a OCR combined with an LLM would open the way to a personalized assistant (rather a well working search machine and letter/email generator). No need to manually manage or catalogue documents, photos, videos, contacts, it would all be available by grepping your input stream smartly.

But once everyone uses such a tool, why bother generating human-readable text in the first place? There's so much efficiency to be gained: Send plaintext instead of html or pdf. Replace plaintext with its embedding. The sending AI could learn what the receiver understands. Finally, don't send stuff at all. Just point to the relevant vector DB entry.

In the end, the LLM itself will be obsolete, except as an appendix to communicate with humans. For all other tasks it will be superseded by a evolvednit engineered, form of machine-to-machine language.
