This is just an urban legend.

Also, Elon Musk acquired solar city and then gutted it. Essentially wasting billions of Tesla shareholder dollars and he basically shrugged it off. What he did with solar city is very obviously illegal, yet the consequences have been quite insignificant. If you don't know what he did: he acquired solar city for 2.6 billion dollars to bail out his brother Kimbal Musk at the expense of public Tesla shareholders. That money literally went up in flames for nepotism. You could say that this subsidy money he took for Tesla has all gone into the solar city bailout.

Really? Should OP just bask in Stallman's glory and not notice things that were bad etiquette even in the Victorian era?

Stallman's done some amazing somethings, some average things and some repugnant things (including the field of software engineering/Free Software; see the Emacs and GCC forks, his maintanership of Emacs in the latter part of his time as main maintainer, etc).
That doesn't mean they're not in their infancy. I take infancy to mean they have not achieved their potential // can be vastly improved or made powerful, as opposed to taking infancy to literally mean 'young' (as in, a period of time).
Or in this case, when a global pandemic makes it abundantly clear that those rejected ideas actually had merit.
Imagine the vendor lock in dark patterns to counter competitive AI assistant utility... Even shittier docs, etc.

Just had to use ChatGPT to get help about ASP.Net APIs as the docs are way worse than used to be 10 years ago, and are full of sales plugs for products instead of explaining the basics/architecture/workflow... MS docs used to be quite okay in my experience. (ChatGPT managed to cut through the bullshit and showed me the APIs I needed but were deliberately not mentioned/detailed in the official docs)
Go ahead and use fe80::3 as a link-local address.

For site local, fec0::3. Yeah site-local is discouraged but you can still do it. Or you can slightly misuse fd00::3.

You only get those latter 16 hex characters if you explicitly don't want to choose addresses.
Your co-founder is wrong, or going about it the wrong way. I don't know what your business is, but if she's already successfully bootstrapped a $100m business, why would she think she needs money to start this venture?

If that money is the $500k from YC, how much difference is $500k going to make for your business?

If it's the valuation post-YC, what makes her think you can get there without the money?

BTW, my co-founder has the same attitude towards YC, and he's only in his 30s, but I'm the one pushing for us to apply. It can't hurt the business, but keep progressing as if you're not going to get in, because that is the most likely outcome anyway.

Maybe I'm sadistic, but I like doing the application, and have been doing them for over a decade now without an invite.
As a power user (not professional sysadmin) I love Uptime Kuma. A simple docker image that uses 110MB RAM and gave me all the monitoring I need for my home lab and my cloud VPS. Very easy to use too, lovely UI.

But this time "I just asked the AI to do the excel"
"But what I want to focus on is the power of a visionary leader to set out on bold ambitions and bring ideas to life."

Apart from single-product companies I don't think this is really a thing.

CEO's set the company culture, and maybe strategic direction (but it often doesn't need any kind of visionary genious to see which way the world is turning), and of course jump in on any 'big' deals or negotiations the company is dealing with, but are otherwise more curators than creators. IMHO.

Exploring Investment Opportunities in Pufferfish Frenzy by Mymetanomics
Hotdesking can be so utterly impersonal it makes a mockery of RTO.

The point of RTO is that you are surrounded by colleagues in your team so that you can spontaneously collaborate. It sounds like its just a meat market and everyone is jammed together regardless of team or affiliation.

hotdesking only really works for a small number of situations, and even then, it needs careful planning and thought.

You need permanent lockers so that you have somewhere to stash your shit.

the equipment needs to be all the same class(to avoid "I want this one") and _higher_ quality than non-hotdesk.

Repairs need to be proactive.
Greetings, fellow investors,

Today, we’re delving into an exciting NFT project that combines the allure of gaming with the potential for investment gains — Pufferfish Frenzy by Mymetanomics. This discussion aims to provide you with an impartial overview of what this project entails, with the goal of fostering a lively discussion among our community members.
That's redefining "support" to mean something completely different. You'll get in a lot of pointless fights if you don't make it clear to people you're using an obscure definition.

I really dislike copilot. I hate how slow it is. The way I write programs is I think about them first. Sketch out on paper if I need to and then start working on it. By the time I am working and in a flow state waiting for copilot to suggest stuff is just annoying. I am baffled when I see respectable people like CTO of Azure praise working with copilot. I feel like there is something I am missing in my workflow
>"It seems impossible to get one desk for a long enough period," one employee said. The person noted one day having to go between hot desks at Menlo Park on different floors to get through a work day in which they'd been required to come in for meetings.

So even when teams are co-located (which isn't a given), they aren't necessarily working face to face. This kind of flies in the face of the premise that RTO is needed for "collaboration". There's definitely another reason for RTO and it's not one the bosses are willing to state on the record.
The issue of MDE EP2 is that they roll-out signature-based definitions to all fleets of all customers with what appears to be insufficient testing.

This led to a situation where it decided to delete all of the shortcuts to apps, leading end users to believe all of their apps were removed.

If there is malware on a machine, it's already compromised and needs to be reimaged rather than selectively, haphazardly repaired through so-called "remediations". There should be no malware on a machine to begin with by disallowing running random software from untrusted sources. Signature-based anti-malware is a last line of defense, reactive security often unable to prevent a machine from being compromised as it already happened.

Another issue is that only a fraction of malware ever has signatures for them by either being too new or not widely seen.

A final problem is mis-categorizing things as "malware" when they do no harm but do things certain factions of people don't like: remote control, recover passwords, and pirate keygens.
Yeah, but if they want to break compatibility with Haskell (GHC).. I think that's a significant drag, and I am very skeptical of that. I think Haskell's extension mechanism has shown that language can improve significantly without breaking changes. Furthermore, I don't see much in their goals which would require a departure from GHC compatibility, it's mostly about tooling.
Performance reviews are a waste of time.

Standardize pay for everyone. If someone does something "extra" with way more work, then independently to that person give them a bonus (i.e don't make bonuses a regular part of salary), or if they continue to show exceptional qualities, make them a lead and give them a pay bump.
True. They should've added a probably in there.

Preferred lenders usually are just as good as any other, or said differently, no better than anyone else except maybe for expedited paperwork. The bit about offering lower rates and sucking up more net in assosciated costs, hidden or plain, is not uncommon though.
"From a Computer on Every Desktop to Empowering Every Person and Every Organization to Achieve More"

OK, "a computer on every desk" is something concrete. Measurable. Achievable (as in: it is both possible to achieve it, and you can tell whether you have achieved it or not).

What is "Empowering Every Person and Every Organization to Achieve More"? Apart from meaningless corporate gobbledygook?
The AI-generated Hanks looks a good 20-25 years younger, so you'd have to be really off your guard to fall for it.
This article pretty well matches my own reaction to seeing the Neohaskell web site a few minutes earlier, from clicking a nearby HN post about it. Too much song and dance, too much Discord, not enough plain explanations instead of cute graphics, no convincing vision that any version of Haskell can be anything other than a language for nerds, and also no explanation of why we nerds shouldn't want to use a nerdy language that we can nerd with, instead of this weird attention seeking thing. Hipsters already have Ruby after all. Can't they just use it?

I even felt something like that about Yesod, so Gabriella's mention of Stack seemed apropos. In Yesod's case, the author (Michael Snoyman, also author of Stack) was at least an extremely knowledgeable and productive Haskeller, even if some of the decisions in Yesod came across as dubious for purists. Neohaskell has far less substance behind it.
I hope they integrate it with their troubleshooter program that rarely solves issues for me. Perhaps I will use copilot instead of googling my issue
When someone tells me they react the way you do, my reaction is to assume they are an idiot.
The beginning of psychohistory?
I believe you misunderstood the OP. The OP is talking about increasing profit YoY.

If you have a company that makes a profit of $1 billion, and the next year they make another $1 billion in profit, they have not increased the amount of profit, and if they are publicly traded, the stock price will probably suffer, even though they made 1 billion freaking dollars! That is insane and it's not physically possible to continue growth forever.

With offline material!
If you can afford to take with you some hundreds GB of data and a laptop you're set. For example, let's say you want to learn Erlang: install the VM, keep an offline cache for dependencies (with their respective docs), Erlang docs and mirror devdocs.io. If the skill in question is not tech-related you can carry a lot less data probably too (find some manuals).
You never know how people will going to respond

That’s the thing. You might read “drug extends median overall survival by 3 months”.

Big deal right?

Well that’s the median. In reality it looks more like:

- 5% see a complete response (cure)

- 40% see a partial response

- 55% see no response

And of those 40% who see a partial response the median is 3 months but the range is 1 to 29 months.

So now do you do it? 1 in 20 chance of a cure and 1 in 20 chance of two more years of life and a 1 in 10 chance of 1 more year of life.
The second one, probably. But ChatGPT-4 can handle surprisingly complex tasks well for SQL, I don’t doubt it would do well across the office suite.

Obviously it doesn't have the context window to handle things I really want it to do in Python (“refactor this spaghetti mess I got myself into, separate the giant classes into multiple separate modules, fix any O(n^2) parts, add unit tests and do some fuzz testing on function arguments”) but it will be incredible once it does in 10 years or whenever GPU’s have enough VRAM or we figure out how to stuff large context windows into less VRAM.

You can't trust an intern with that command either, yet that's exactly the type of task an intern would be assigned today in many large groups.

Of course you'd want to verify the report, but verifying it will probably be simpler & faster than building it, for many tasks. And AI can help you verify as well.
I need to swim 3 times a week and bike to work every day to not bite someone's head off or become depressed.

On the meeting room thing: I worked in an office a number of years ago where the name of the person who booked the meeting (and its time/duration) was shown on a small touch screen by the door.

To start the meeting, that person (or their proxy) had to swipe the screen with their badge. If the swipe had not been completed after 10mins, the room would become free and accept anyone's swipe to start that meeting. Their name would then be displayed for the same duration as the original.

The kicker was that after the 10mins (and if no swipe), the system would send an email to ALL EMPLOYEES saying "Room XYZ, booked by [name of culprit], is now free".

To this day I still fondly think of the genius of the person who got that system approved!

Hi, I'm Johannes, a tech specialist with a focus on Kubernetes. I have been working in the industry since 2003 and have extensive experience building and managing large-scale systems using Kubernetes, with a focus on Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and bare-metal deployments.

In addition to my technical skills, I also have a background in psychology which gives me unique insights on team leadership and communication. I have a proven track record of leading and creating successful international teams.

One of my specialties are bare-metal kubernetes deployment with RKE2 or K3s which are CIS compliant and use SELINUX under the hood. They can effectively be used to bring new wind to your existing data-centers and hardware or create hybrid systems that easily connect your online and on-premise servers. My Mantra is that in then end of the day your kubernetes clusters should be able to run anywhere with minimal modifications, because that is the promise kubernetes actually offers.

I'm currently offering my services as a freelancer and would be happy to discuss potential opportunities involving Kubernetes. If you're looking for someone with seniority and experience in the field, please feel free to reach out. I have a wealth of experience with Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and bare-metal Kubernetes and am confident in my abilities.

Small contradiction there on the role of realtors and investors. Add drag to trade really hits the investors. Look at the Netherlands, recently the buying tax has increased from 6 to 10%+ when buy to let or flip. Consumers buying a home pay only 2% tax. After this (+current interest rates, +some other factors), the professional home investment market in NL completely dried up.

For the rest totally agree, disrupt the middle man in real estate is OK++.
SEEKING WORK || USA registered co-op, remote OK

Tech: Javascript / Node anything (frameworks, flavors, engines), Python, deployment, hosting, etc forms of web development. Full stack, devops, integrations.

I'm a member of the software engineering co-op 508.dev LLC. We're web-environment specialized developers that as a team for previous clients have upgraded old builds to be serverless (jovono.com) and project managed, architected, and built from scratch an entire SASS frontend for a Ycombinator startup (cofactr.com).

Our site is https://508.dev. My personal resume as the founder and lead engineer is https://calebjay.com/resume.html.

We've had enough time open up to take on a new full time project, but are also happy to take a look at smaller or short-term needs, including consultancy, upgrades, or filling a dev team's gaps. There's no minimum team or project size (for now) - if you just need one dev for a little bit, let us know! If you've seen our message before and wonder how we're doing, we have a couple new projects on, but also a couple more senior engineers have joined the team, so we still have time for new projects.

Happy to chat about work you need doing, joining our team, our somewhat unique structure as a co-op, or whatever else, at caleb@508.dev. I actually really like chatting so hit me on email about literally whatever :)

I think Google is not going to keep its monopoly.

Last Saturday I was searching for something on Google and not getting anything and just for laughs I tried bing. I have been using it for second opinion since. And I don't think bing got any better, but my god has Google got a lot worse.

It’s because tech people are often fed XY problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

The person asking the question is asking how to do something, instead of explaining what the problem is.

Without an explanation of what the problem actually is, you have to guess.

Solving XY problems without getting at the root issue can create endless amounts of needless effort for many people, which is why discussion and communication are so important.

It seems to be specific integration with a few specific Microsoft applications so far..

LLM might be the end of complex GUIs.

CLI and symbolic languages are so much easier for an LLM to work with so far, stdout and stdin, main and argv, these are things and LLM can compliment.

Microsoft may learn just how cantankerous their UI/UX and ever-changing GUI stacks have been to users and developers when they find out their best AI can’t even use it properly!

It's because people associate the word with actual government dictatorships and they immediately fall into the freedom and democracy patriotism mode.

Must be, because average ad revenue per US user and month seems to be ~$20.

Sadly, this is entirely unsurprising - justice is blind, generally in the worst possible way, and states do not like to admit that they are capable of making mistakes. Millions, if not billions, of people have suffered and died over the years purely because states wanted to dogmatically and cruelly demonstrate their ownership and power over the individual.
I think, perhaps, that declaring oneself a benevolent dictator on a project that is more or less a proposal still is just jumping the gun a bit.

Any project needs good leadership, of course, and at the start that leadership is going to be concentrated amongst a tiny number of people, maybe even just one.

It's going to be hard to encourage contribution if, right off the bat, you say "I'm BDFL. End of discussion." So the author of the project might find themselves in a position where they have actively reduced buy-in.
Perhaps it could be a KickStarter project? As long as it allows you to read all current eBook formats. I wouldn't mind if it could also be used as a tablet.

I see. Honestly it feels more like your seller’s choice to go with a realtor. Then it’s the typical realtor preference to deal with another realtor. It’s like how a judge would hate to deal with a self representing defendant. It’s just a lot more hassle for them and they don’t wanna hold anyone’s hand throughout the process.

Unless there are cities or counties with weird laws I’m not familiar with, you can always direct sell/buy. Due to where my place is, I get almost a monthly or bimonthly letter from a couple of well known developers in the area that usually highlight “no banks, no realtors” an they are looking to pay cash and handle all paper work themselves.

It seems that the grift in your case was every body’s else’s convenience but yours, and that convenience costed 6%
