What is the meaningful distinction between "many accelerators globally follow the YC template" and "everyone's copying them"?

Does it work better though? Barring some statistical outliers such as unicorns, VC backed startups from accelerators don’t measurably do better at all for the founders.

Ok, then what's the problem? Just don't do it, easy. You started this off by lamenting that they ask for too much of a commitment, now you're saying that they don't really add value. I'm not sure what argument you're driving at.

"Egregious reductionism"? Who's point-scoring again? That sentiment about e.g. Hollywood is pretty widespread conventional wisdom. Can you make it elsewhere, sure, but that's beside the point. My point is that there are certain jobs and opportunities that require a lot of commitment and giving up of other things, and that closes them off to a lot of people, but that's ok. You've avoided making any argument against that by nitpicking and shifting your argument.

Nobody is stopping anybody from living a family life in the suburbs and starting a VC backed startup in their spare time. Be a rebel, buck the trend, prove 'em wrong! But maybe understand that there may be some truth to the idea that you're putting yourself at a disadvantage in an already tough environment, and that getting a bunch of people together in the same room and grinding actually does have value, it's not just toxic YC bro culture or whatever.

exclusion of literally everything else (family, hobbies, “routines” - whatever that may mean)

Routines are things like brushing your teeth, showering, sleeping; eating may even be considered a routine. You have a very real time budget you have to balance. You seem unwilling to accept this. Go ahead, do it all, I wish you luck!

I, for one, welcome the marginalization of religion here in the US. The introduction of religious dogma into the secular (pronounced “political”) domain has been and continues to be a disaster and is responsible for the growing schism in our country. The sooner it is reduced in size so that it may be drowned in the bathtub, the better.
> the gross monthly income

"The" gross monthly income, as if there is one blob of income that we could turn a knob and increase, by say, 10%? Are we doing this across the board, from migrant farmworkers to the Fortune 500 C-levels? Does this dovetail with UBI so that people who earned $0 + entitlements, lose their entitlements and begin receiving cash instead?

If rental housing is the #1 monthly expense for the working class, or say, the socio-economic class who needs Affordable Housing, and you "fix" their income (which I think you mean raise it, rather than the financial term of art) if you raise their income by a given amount, and housing costs stay constant, then more people get housed?

You might as well ask "Are ideas real?" in the broader philosophic sense. Yes, they (with math as a subset) are real existents within consciousness. The question of mathematical ideas' connection to reality is epistemological. "Real reality" pertains to metaphysics - the externally perceivable stuff of reality that exists independent of our minds (as in, eternally prior to, and subsequent to, the existence of any humans or other beings with conceptual consciousness.) Math is an epistemological tool to abstract the causality of existence into a simplified structure amenable to consideration and manipulation by human consciousness.

A quadratic equation can be used to approximate the coordinates of the trajectory of a thrown object in a gravity field. I think the really interesting question is why that particular equation reflects that trajectory. Arithmetic operators - multiplication and addition in that case - in a particular order, are approximating the causal operations of existence that are actually at work. I think of this as the philosophy of mathematics and much more should be done to investigate it.

> Don't waste people's time with nonsense-- I can find an article in US media that also puts forward every conceivable position if I try hard enough

It’s not nonsense it’s russias own position on the war straight from there own kremlin approved propaganda outlets.

I know it’s an inconvenient article as it dispels the narrative of this war being about NATO and shows it for what it really is, russian imperialism.

> You mean like the Minsk accords that Zelensky failed to implement?

All the agreements I speak off predate the Minsk accords by years to decades.

russia didn’t follow any of them so why should we have faith they would follow anything new?.

It’s not like russia obeyed the
Minsk accords either (shocking I know).

russia doesn’t appear to follow international agreements when it doesn’t benefit them.

So once again I ask why does russia get to ignore and violate all the formalised agreements it has with Ukraine.

Where as everyone else has to obey vague not in writing promises that where never formalised?.

Military pilots are trained to fly in areas where electronic warfare is commonplace. That's not a risk that needs to be in my risk matrix as a GA pilot.

I personally think it takes a decent chunk of hubris to believe that the likely out-of-date chart that you haven't picked up and actually used in years is going to help you and not impact your airplane control while you find the correct chart and then fold it properly. If we're talking VFR sectionals, I'd need to carry four charts to cover my state -- three, just to cover the area in which I typically fly. Good ole Michigan -- we lost the sectional lottery.

I treat my electronics as required equipment, just like you would apparently treat your sectionals as required equipment. I check their battery level before every flight. If they aren't charged, I don't fly. If I don't have a way to charge them in flight, I don't fly (particularly if IMC is in any way a possibility). If one of them fails during a flight, I seriously consider whether it's safe to continue the flight as planned.

I see paper charts providing a tiny amount of risk mitigation, which is easily outmatched by treating the electronics as an important checklist item and making sure to carry enough redundancy for the mission.

You know who also doesn't carry paper charts anymore? Part 121 airlines. They take risk mitigation pretty seriously.
My URL editing routine on Android:

- copy the URL to clipboard

- open "Fast Notepad" app, paste

- edit, copy, paste

I agree, URL editing is infuriating especially with long URLs with massive tracking query strings (e.g. anything opened from Facebook). But not only. Sometimes I want to change subdomain of a long URL (e.g. from reddit to old.reddit) and it requires a lot of scrolling to the left.

One imagines two intelligent alien races would be able to communicate that pi is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle without coming to any real agreements over postulates or axioms. But I suppose that's natural philosophy, not math.

See https://computingbiology.github.io/docs/hamming1998.pdf "Mathematics on a Distant Planet" for more thinking. Many physicists think that math is instrinsic and absolute (objective) in the universe, not "merely a mutual agreement"
ChangeLog - Paper - Sept 2023

Good news everyone, Paper supports MSPen 2.3.4.5.3.2...., GPen 1.10.1.0.11 "Lumpsucker", iPen 4.2.0 (8 new colors!), and the AmaWEbLumberPen (AWELP)

We're happy to report we've solved the issue of Paper randomly vanishing from your house, and reappearing on your roof.

Security exploits with D4r|<9@nc1l and Y+e()v+ have been discovered, and we're working on a fix. In the meantime, please update your Paper password (remember not to write it down)

Minor issues with Paper flickering (and in a limited user group causing epilepsy seizures and incontinence) have been mitigated.

We're aware of Paper occasionally causing i#Desk models to collapse, and working to close the loop.

We're also happy to report we've been sold to ShredderCo.! Congratulations to the team for going the extra mile, and we expect a bright future in their exciting and challenging area of business.

These laptops should not always be charging their batteries or should have some to disable them. We need this more now removable batteries are now a rarity. Mine is always plugged which is the reason why it last an hour now. It use to last around 8hrs in the beginning.

I would get a desktop if I could but I live in a rented place which don't have room for a desktop setup. My work setup with laptop always plugged on dock with multiple displays is already taking the space of a desktop setup.
Debian is not a commercial entity. It's a volunteer organization.

In fact there's been quite a bit of vitriol about Canonical (company behind Ubuntu) profiting (for what that's worth) from all the hard work from Debian volunteers and not sharing as much of that value back to Debian as was felt was deserved.
Oh, do I share the fun with those without grey hair...

RIP = Raster Image Processor, often a standalone computer acting as a front-end for a printer. It accepts jobs, runs the PostScript, and converts it to a format native to the printer.

At some point, it has to render a bitmap. Conceptually simple, but the frame buffer is going to be multiple megabytes.

When PostScript was young, megabytes of RAM could require thousands of dollars.

The CPU running PostScript was itself a rather powerful machine for the time.

And then, the software license for the PostScript running on the RIP...

I ran a network of 200 Macs, and for a number of years, the most powerful computer on that network was the printer.
Brains model patterns in signals, math could be described as the brain's language for expressing higher order manipulations on all those models with communicable symbols. So it's kind of both real and invented, because brains invent, and brains are also just real objects and any models they form came from somewhere.
Dharampal a student of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi wrote a book called "A beautiful tree" which documented at great lengths how British administration destroyed the local schooling system in India which at that time had managed to produce higher literacy rate (even among working low status masses) than England.

Among many things that British got wrong, one was the refusal to call a place school if it did not have a permanent building neatly separated into classrooms and such. More than the learning outcomes, the infra that mattered more for British to recognize anything as a school and they went about closing down the informal "under the tree" schools in this manner. Of course as you go deeper you realize this policy was driven more by the corruption in the East India Company and British government where missionaries wanted funding from government to build "infra" in the same of schools.

Much later in 2005 or so James Tooley another British Economist in charge of World Bank aid to school system in India discovered similar trends and quit his job to promote low cost high quality private schools.

Indian government around that time brought an evil law called Right to Education and permanently killed this concept. Running an open air school in India might get you jailed today.

So when an application is found to a previously pure theory area (e.g. number theory and RSA) does math becone real?

Is realness not an instrinsic property but just a judgement on how useful something is?

Is being real a real property of something or just a construct?

I don't agree with the commentator, but I think with extreme pieces like this any and all interpretations are on the table. Challenging and disruptive things aren't always handled eloquently or reasonably, otherwise they wouldn't be challenging and disruptive.

Consider reactions you'd rather not see here as extensions of regrettable behaviors in the performance of the piece. In other words, did 'Rhythm 0' ever really end, or are we all in it?

This is a terrible place to talk about art. We probably should avoid it entirely because the flamewars are inevitable.
It was both, but they bootlooped for different reasons. Nexus 5 had a faulty power button that could fail in a couple of ways. Nexus 5X was something about how the components on the PCB were constructed being of iffy quality. You could get lucky and never have the 5 fail whereas the 5X was/is guaranteed to fail. I bought a 5X purely for device testing. It was basically unused 99% of its lifetime (6+ years) and eventually started bootlooping last year.
I don't use either of those features, but the one reason I stick with Pixel phones is bloatware. The amount of useless bloatware that comes with most phones is horrid. I went with a Samsung tablet because Google (at the time) stopped making tablets. The tablet hardware is good, but even after 2 years of owning the device, I still get nagged constantly for not using samsung specific apps/features that I have zero use for. Google does do some nagging on Pixel phones for their silly features, but I have found them much easier to turn off.
It's extra delicious when read in context of these quotes:

> In the summer of 2016, the United Nations declared access to internet is a human right. While we are just beginning to realize the internet’s potential for our island and with the prospects of a high speed cable arriving on our shores, perhaps now is the time to re-evaluate the importance of information technology for EVERYONE. Can we truly reach our fullest potential if access to the World Wide Web is available only to those who can afford it?

> Inhabitants of the tiny tropical island of St Helena pay through the nose for an internet service that mainlanders would have considered painfully slow even during the pre-Netflix era.

> St Helena’s isolation and reliance on satellite technology, means that internet services are limited and expensive compared to many countries, and are a major barrier to development. The top residential package offered in St Helena provides 13.3 megabytes of data at a speed of 1.5 megabits per second, and costs £180.50 per month.
I don't think there was anything serious that didn't get reported. We never had to use anything beyond a single band-aid for non-recordable injuries that I know of and unless you want the office staff reporting every paper cut to OSHA, I don't think they were being unreasonable there.

If anything I'd worry more about the temperature of the floor or the number of hours worked, but it's hard when some people had second jobs or what have you.

Former military aerospace engineer here. In my opinion it would only be worth it on long range strategic bombers such as the B-52.

Fighters don't have the legs to fly far enough that celestial navigation becomes worth the added complexity.

For other air mobility platforms like the C-130 or C-17 in my experience they do not include these features, as GPS, INS, and regular old "ask ATC for a vector" are usually good enough.

There are ongoing experiments with magnetic and other forms of navigation, some of which are classified, but I'm a civilian now so I don't know any specifics.

Having watched the announcement the (literally) singular question that was presented was essentially "Why should the man on the street care about AGI now?", to which the answer was "They shouldn't". But key to that answer was Carmack's assertion that Keen will probably never release a "product" like ChatGPT that aims to specifically wow people, that's not Keen's goal.

Agreed. Jeff Bezo technically makes a pretty modest annual income (in 2019, it was reported his annual income was about $81,000), but obviously he's extremely wealthy. An "income" is the price laborers get for selling their labor. The capital-owning class, the people that buy that labor, build their wealth through other means.

I think "ultra-processed" is code for "food with all the fiber ripped out, and lots of added sugar and/or salt".

The latter is more obviously bad, and also very actionable for consumers.

Also, since I left "lots of artificial stuff" out of my definition, I intentionally included a broad range of "healthy organic snacks" that are actually terrible for you. It's probably best to avoid artificial crap in your food, but that should be(?) obvious.

Anyway, regarding tofu, it was hard to find a nutrition label, but this story has a bunch of them in a picture at the top: https://sporked.com/article/best-tofu/
