1. Set an aggressive (but achievable) revenue goal for your first year. If you're having trouble figuring out what that might be, I suggest 500k ARR, because that will put you on a path to raising a series A. You should be able to hit this goal with fewer than 5 people in your first year. You should take a very hard look at your business and what's going wrong if you don't hit that goal.

2. Don't raise too much money for your seed. Plain and simple, you just do not need much money to build and validate your business plan. Whatever your number is, consider whether you'd really be much worse off if you raised half as much.

3. Start by providing professional services before you have a product. This will help you generate some early revenue, it will validate that someone is willing to pay for your services, it'll help you understand the requirements for your product before it's built, and most importantly, it'll help you build early relationships with crucial clients. Streamline these professional services by automating them with your early product. Over time, replace the professional services entirely with your product.

Another way to put it: a 4 minute mile is 15 mph. The four minute mile was itself a "barrier" at one point. This guy did an average of 4:35 minutes/mile... 26 times in a row.

4:35 is a good time for your high school track team. Not a great time, but it'll probably get you onto the varsity team. But you only have to do it once.

And that's without even considering "the wall", which makes everything after mile 20 so, so much harder. I myself slow down by as much as a factor of 3 at mile 20. (Not that I'm a great marathoner.)
Not really. FPGAs aren't lending themselves to much AI work these days.
Nice to see you name them as a pair. Very often, people seem to focus on Metta only, maybe due to the focus on this Sutta.

To my understanding, Compassion / Lovingkindness are linked and often arise together, and it's a bit odd to wish to separate them too strongly: When contemplating other's and out own Dukkha, Compassion may arise, wishing for it to cease. Lovingkindness may then arise, wishing for there to be happiness and peace instead. They both work together.

By contemplating Dukkha we better understand this Characteristic of existence, and develop Compassion/Lovingkindess. To avoid getting too "down" by too much Dukkha meditation, Sympathetic Joy with one's and other's good qualities or good actions we can brighten the mind. and Equanimity helps us from falling into grief/anger on one side, and euphoria and avoiding the truth of existence on the other.

So the Brahma Viharas work together and aren't too artificially / forcefully separated.
This was supposed to be lighthearted fun. You crossed a line.
Intelligent Traffic Control with Smart Speed Bumps
Pretty much 100% of my greenfield frontend development is using lit-html, and has been since they originally launched it.

Note: I don't use Lit/LitElement, I just use lit-html with vanilla web components.

I don't find a lot of value in the more complex "component" model/wrapper around native web components, though YMMV.

My components are very simple native light-dom web components that have a render() method that calls lit-html render. For reactivity, I just use class properties. On a setter that needs to mutate the dom, I just call render manually.

It's not really any extra lines of code at the end of the day, and it gives me full control over the lifecycle and render cycle of my components. It's also super easy to debug.

I've used different routers over the years, currently I'm using Vaadin, but I've used Ionic's and others. I may try out the new router that's in Lit/labs.

I'm very satisfied with it. No framework churn, no complex builds, easy debugging, lighting fast performance, minuscule js downloads, easy authoring and vscode has magical tooling support.

lit-html is one of my all time favorite pieces of tech.
It's a Python script. It's also available via Homebrew, but is curl download any worse than Homebrew or npm install?

(Obviously curl download piped into "sh" or similar is pretty terrible, but at the end of the day, there's a ton of software out there being installed via trust alone)

Haven’t yet found one myself, but from the information I’ve gathered I see that you can:
1. Go to events where you can meet such people
2. Sign up for different clubs (marketing, tech, etc.) and build strong relationships there though projects.
3. Working at your dayjob, if you see something outstanding you see yourself working with in the future, go the extra mile to show them they mean something to you.

Generally I think it’s all about the buildup after a certain amount of time of working in your industry. And not only 9-5 working but just doing interesting projects and attracting such likeminded people.
And that is why most people use a single, easy to remember password for everything: even if their house burns, their devices are gone and they no longer have their phone number, they can still remember their password.

For all of its many weaknesses, a password has that one major advantage over all the other authentication methods, and unless a new method provides a similar advantage, most people will keep using a password, just like they did even with the appearance of private keys, biometrics, USB tokens, SMS or TOTP.
Co-founder matching is a thing too (ex: https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching), but unsure how far it works.

Famously, the GitHub co-founders and the Instagram co-founders met at co-working spaces / hacker meetups. Tom Preston-Werner gave an interesting talk on how to build successful co-founding teams and products: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGTpU5XUAA8
Why was this flagged? If true, and we won’t know for a long time, it is relevant to the site that YCombinator and by extension Sam created.
The cost (and environmental impact) of generated images is a rounding error compared to the $7,500+ project cost. As an aside, I wonder how much smaller and faster a diffusion model could be if trained (quantized?) to 4-bit grayscale images.
This really is a good article, and is seriously researched. But the conclusion in the headline - “AI hype is built on flawed test scores” - feels like a poor summary of the article.

It _is_ correct to say that an LLM is not ready to be a medical doctor, even if it can pass the test.

But I think a better conclusion is that test scores don’t help us understand LLM capabilities like we think they do.

Using a human test for an LLM is like measuring a car’s “muscles” and calling it horsepower. They’re just different.

But the AI hype is justified, even if we struggle to measure it.

The forced SMS 2FA that banks and credit card companies have started implementing infuriates me for exactly this reason.
As always, the best way is to already know them or have a shared connection with them - have a wide network.

Do you have frequent social interactions with other professionals? Off the top of my head (and from personal experience) some ways to meet people:

- Network within your company, particularly with people in other disciplines

- Alumni events for your college

- Send your kids to private school and make friends with parents (or have gone to private school yourself)

- Play sports that professionals play like golf, tennis, pickleball?

- Attend networking events (though I haven't really tried doing this since covid)

- Get an (in-person) MBA

- Marry/date someone with a wide network
I think you're missing some nuances of the conversation here. A lot of Apple buyers celebrate the fact that Apple intentionally prevents interoperability with large swathes of software. So if someone is complaining that software doesn't work on an Apple product, they don't "deserve sympathy" because they've deliberately chosen a product where that is ostensibly a selling point.
Imagine if a big OS vendor like Apple decided that people were not "using the platform" correctly by building on top of third-party database libraries instead of using the filesystem directly.

So they introduced "File System Tables" which was their vendor-blessed replacement for databases, but it did a bunch of things really differently from SQL databases for no clear reason, and forced you to think about things like file locking and write durability that you were actually pretty happy to let a DBMS take care of for you.

Passkeys don't (only) replace passwords – they usually also replace another authentication factor as well.

That other factor might still be available for account recoveries (together with a password or recovery email etc.), but if either are not regularly exercised, users might forget them or lose access to them and not notice until they also lose access to their passkey(s).

That said, Google's and Apple's passkey solutions themselves are cloud-synced (with no way to opt out), so as long as users of either can still access their Google or Apple account, they would not be totally locked out.
I, for one, am extremely for open source kamikaze drones.
"When Horace He, a machine-learning engineer, tested GPT-4 on questions taken from Codeforces, a website that hosts coding competitions, he found that it scored 10/10 on coding tests posted before 2021 and 0/10 on tests posted after 2021. Others have also noted that GPT-4’s test scores take a dive on material produced after 2021. Because the model’s training data only included text collected before 2021, some say this shows that large language models display a kind of memorization rather than intelligence."

I'm sure that is just a matter of prompt engineering, though.
I'm curious about this - are you using shadow DOM? If so, I completely understand your frustration.

IMHO shadow dom isn't really useful for application authoring, it's beneficial for library authors and such.

Web Components become a lot easier if you just stick with the light dom.
Yes, a popular diesel tuner was the target a take down and fined big money for providing tunes that make vehicles non-compliant. https://www.thedrive.com/news/another-diesel-tuner-nailed-wi...

Omitting wear and reliability concerns, some tunes gain their effect by not controlling for things like NoX and unburned hydrocarbons.

The worst offenders? "Coal rolling". It would be one thing to do this to help spool a turbo or for some other performance reason, but it's literally running the motor as rich as possible to dump unburned fuel out the tailpipe to make a visual effect. At the expense of everyone around you.
I agree 100%, based on the desire for theme parks it fits.

But from the outside looking in what is "Disney". I would wager that for the vast majority of people Disney is Mickey Mouse, Frozen, Lion King, etc. basically media. Obviously I would say that people would also say the parks. But I doubt the word "Tech" is anywhere in the vast majority of people's opinion on what Disney is.

It is wild to think that behind what is a media company, is an organization with strong engineering talent. I mean it seems like that the robot engineering specifically rivals most of what else is out there.

That isn't saying there are not more advanced robotics, Boston Dynamics projects are a big example.

But there is also something to be said that this is probably going to be in a park in just a few years, if not sooner. It isn't going to sit in research stage forever.

But it is a really weird timeline that Disney is associated with advanced robotics and other crazy things that Disney Imagineering does.

Honest question: is there a situation in which you can identify a deficiency in your selling ability (as a founder) that subsequently makes sense to delegate to someone else?

Obviously, if your product doesn't sell, then your story isn't working. But what stories are out there where the founder didn't do the best job selling and someone came and crushed it as a chief member of the exec or early sales effort?

Forget big famous companies - what about the folks here?
So, I guess you're saying the erc20 contract for USDT has a backdoor builtin? On the one hand, I feel like I would've heard about this before, but on the other hand, I don't follow crypto circles off HN and the crypto discourse here is... well, not very deep.

Apple's absolute top end models might go for $5,000, but then again, have you bought gaming computer components lately? I can't imagine I spent far off of $3000 for my gaming computer all things taken into consideration (besides peripherals of course.) I only have not attempted to tally up the cost because I fear it would make me sick. Without actually listing a real drawback to using the platform besides "software providers decided not to support the platform," you come off as one of those drones that mindlessly hate on Apple products only because you don't want to pay for them. And to be clear, I'm not even your supposed opposition, in that I don't even own any Apple products besides an iPhone SE (which are notoriously cheaper than flagship Android phones.) I just find the Apple hating bickering to be about as childish as the Playstation vs Xbox console argument.

And yes, I consider your comment to be childish bickering primarily because you don't have another argument besides "their product is more expensive than it's worth comparing hardware to hardware." Apple users understand that they're actually paying a premium for the software (the operating system), as well as the designed and usually fetching exterior (which to be fair does look nice, and I tend to prefer Macbook charging ports over Dell's old barrel ports.) Which, there is something to be said about an operating system that decided they don't want to run Java anymore. I'll grant that their software might have merit. Java web start apps are the bane of my enterprise existence.
I think the reason is (any diesel mechanics around please correct me if I'm wrong) that modern engines stripped of their emissions equipment will pollute a lot more than old engines.

> In this case, it's a bid for biometrics

Biometrics are used to unlock an local, on-device key storage mechanism which contains a private key, and from that you can derive a public key, and that's what Passkeys fundamentally are, is a public/private keypair you use to validate you are logging into a website. If Google were harvesting your biometrics they were just doing it already and it has nothing to do with this.

This is an extremely basic detail of the security model that has been true since long before these were introduced, back when the iPhone started using e.g. the secure enclave; I don't know why people on this website talk so adamantly about things they clearly do not understand at all. It's honestly kind of astounding.

> For proficient users who use passwords securely, this is an acute drop in security (if forced to use).

No, it isn't, it's the moral equivalent of an SSH key to login to a server instead of using SSH password to login to a server, but now apply that to a website. And beyond that, it's objectively wrong; for instance passkeys are literally phishing resistant, and no amount of thinking you can "use passwords securely" can change that simple fact.

The significant thing here is that the technique should interfere with data collected by all common EDR software, rather than requiring specific tailoring for each one like most EDR bypass tricks. I’m curious about why the API protections present in Windows 11 couldn’t be brought to Windows 10.

>Multiple pieces of evidence show that Microsoft is aware of the weakness, but is not changing the API behavior retroactively on Windows 10, likely due to retro-compatibility issues.

If MS actually says that, it seems like a lame excuse.

"that early Christianity and early Rabbinic Judaism were largely defined in opposition to each other"

I never heard of that theory, but I don't think it makes a lot of sense. I would think early christians mainly defined themself by believing in jesus christ, meaning they believed Jesus from Nazareth was the Messias and the other jews did not believe jesus was the messiahs.

And then you had christians who believed jesus resurrected from the death and those who did not. Then you had those who believed it was only a jew thing and then you had Paulus, who made it a universal religion, ... so all in all, plenty of different things people believed in. So surely some groups of people define themself by what they are not, but I don't think this was valid of early christians.
In my e-ink newspaper, I have the driver board behind a relay (because it had an annoying idle current draw even when you tell the driver chip to go to standby, and they even added an annoying power LED ...) and do just fully shut it off between refreshes.

Quite sure you misread that article. It says 40% of the code checked in by people who use Copilot is AI-generated. Not 40% of all code.

That’s how some programmers are I guess. I have heard of people copy pasting code directly from stack overflow without a second thought about how it works. That’s probably Copilot’s audience.
