Precisely. I am quite fit but only a decent athlete. Two different things.

Well, the WSJ recently reported that Meta is planning to charge money for ad-free versions of their platforms in Europe. So, yes, I am sure the common people will eventually "revolt" with their feet.
It is also well known that Amazon has (or has had) target attrition percentages. Managers are expected to oust a quota.

The only blame the author deserves is the financial leap of faith that he'd hit the big time by landing a job at Amazon.
You're trading ease of mentally calculating the total for the obfuscation of why items increased in price and really overselling the difficulty of calculating the tax. I can see why if you're traveling to the US that could be difficult (but if you estimate 10% your estimate will be over in most places and close enough everywhere else), because you'll probably be in many places you haven't been before (or often enough to retain the information). But if you live here, you learn the tax rate for the state and what goods it applies to and you're good to go.
It's an industry of booms and busts, we've all heard about the head of Xbox discussing the risky model of large publishers, making expensive sequels until the well dries, and everything collapses. Selling to the largest companies is more difficult too: Slower decision making, more negotiation. It's the road to having a working business, but not one for growth.

It's just so much easier to get your product ingrained into a company that is growing, as long as you are getting your revenue tied to theirs. Their growth becomes your growth. But it has to be done in a way that makes them not run away. Offer different funding models depending on the project on the other end, and let the customer pick their pricing plan. When the plan for the small company starts looking too expensive for the big one, you get to renegotiate when your tools are already everywhere, and moving away is a hassle.

It works for AWS, Stripe and the like. It should work here.
A) There have been no "threats" towards anyone much less customers. There was a lot of discussion taking place here and in other places about what was theoretically possible as per license agreement, but no "threats".

B) Oracle cannot be described as a "steward" if their entire goal is to produce a RHEL clone using the sources provided by Red Hat. Oracle "stewards" a kernel package themselves, but that's about it. The explicit goal of their distribution is to cede the bulk of the decisionmaking to Red Hat and be "compatible".

C) "The sources" are not behind a paywall. CentOS Stream is "the sources". The only difference between now and 6 months ago is that it used to be the case that the specfiles for every package in the distro were maintained in a single publicly facing git repository which made it trivial to rebuild the entire distro, whereas now you would have to create a mapping of which exactly CentOS Stream packages were used first, which is not as straightforward as having it all in one place. It is nonetheless possible to do. It's probably fair to call it an obfuscation technique, but not fair to call it closed source, because it isn't.
Those sound like things that are actually specific to cars, which operate on metal with tight tolerances because it e.g. has to hold compression in a cylinder.

As far as I was ever aware, bimbo always meant pretty and stupid. In the same way that nerd is awkward and smart, or jock is fit and dumb.
It was free before and can be free now. What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to do to justify the greed? Ads are dangerous. You’re entitled to protect yourself.
I don't see the point.

To me, the revenge of the nerds is not that Ivy League athletes should become miserable. It's the fact that a lot of top brass in huge companies is now people with STEM degrees, and a practical experience of working as an engineer.

Let's list a few: Bill Gates (once the wealthiest person on the planet); Andy Grove and Pat Geslinger (CEOs of Intel), Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Marc Andreesen, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. All these guys achieved considerable power and real financial success by starting and working as engineers, and applying science and engineering, not MBA skills, to win a colossal market.

That would be hard to imagine in 1930s, and even in 1960s.
C was definitely a player in the 70s and 80s (when it (and Unix) still had a lot of healthy competition), but it didn't attain its current veneer of ubiquity until approximately the early 90s (after being standardized in 1989). Javascript was derided as a joke until 2009 brought ECMAScript 5 and Node.js. Java's rise was relatively fast, but Java also had the benefit of the most concerted corporate ad campaign in the history of programming languages (how many programming languages have you seen advertised on TV? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpirOZe1Cgk )
No objection, but please live far away from the city so that useful land close to urban centers can be properly utilized. Or at least pay a land value tax proportionate to the current value of the land assuming it were properly utilized.

We'd also ask that you use a park-and-ride when visiting as to not cause undue congestion and noise, otherwise we'll charge a hefty congestion fee. Besides, do you really want to pay $100 just to park for the day?

Fuel taxes will need to tripple to fairly account for CO2 emissions and cover the cost of roads (we don't want to have to subsidize your car usage afterall).

But otherwise, it does seem fair that for those who can afford it, are willing to live within their carbon budget, and are willing to pay their share of taxes, should have the choice to live in a detached home.

Do install a native garden though, grass is horribly water inefficient.

If the choice is between burning out and taking a sabbatical to get a break, take the sabbatical.

My only advice is: structure the sabbatical in some way. Give yourself some OKRs. Doesn't matter what they are. If you don't you'll find yourself at the start of the last month wondering where the time went (and, in my case, extending another few months).

Second piece of advice: set up a job to return to before you take the break. Once you leave the company/organization, regardless of the terms, it's much more difficult to line up roles. Lining up a role is never a guarantee, of course, but it's better than waiting until the last month and trying to get rehired.

If you're trying to get chips up to something less than 100C, but instead get stuff underneath it with significant thermal mass up to above 200C, you're really messing up.

Hair dryers tend to emit like 65C-70C air on their "high heat" setting (as opposed to hot air guns used for heat-shrink and reflow soldering).
I pay for YouTube Premium in India. It's ultra cheap here.

2.16 USD per month for both YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium for a family of 6.

That comes down to 36 cents per person per month.

But I still use the Revanced app on my phone and watch YouTube on my desktop with uBlock turned on for two reasons:

1. I can't stand Shorts.
2. I don't like the clickbait-y and cringe inducing thumbnails that every creator uses now.
More sensibly, you can do some memory overclocking live on a running system, with no link training. It's not advisable for actual use, but you can use it to find the limits of your memory, or to generate errors.
And if you want to use that NAS while you are outside of your house, you could run Tailscale on both client and server, and that would allow you to securely connect to your NAS remotely over the WireGuard encrypted Tailscale connection.

Wow, what a coincidence... I just wrote a blog post that answers this very question (here's the link: https://www.justbeepit.com/post/starting-a-saas-startup-in-o...). I read through your list of questions and feel the article I linked here answers them sufficiently.

Unlike rozenmd though, it took us about a month to create the momentum we were looking for. But that eventual inertia was able to take us to being a part of TechCrunch, and then being selected to take part in a 500 Global Accelerator Program.

We found our first users when launching on Product Hunt alongside building our MVP. That's where we got more user feedback for further iterations. The MVP model still thrives in certain areas if you look hard enough.

I hope this helps!

Git repo focusing on productizing LLMs/AI
There are a bunch of open source projects or commercial projects productising LLMs, but there are still challenges in, e.g., latency, cost reduction, fine-tuning, data preparation, monitoring to name a few.

This repo monitors projects or packages that can help you speed up the adoption, with boilerplate, E2E backend and real-world use cases as its goal.

Please feel free to open issues and more contents will be coming soon.

Tips are completely discretionary. You are always free to tip zero. That may make you an asshole depending on local customs but I’m not aware of any place on earth where not leaving a tip will get you in legal trouble. Not paying a last minute hidden fee might.

Well, most people implement it using JavaScript if you want everything to be in the correct order. I use a pure CSS variant as I'm trying to go near-zero JS on my projects these days, but it means things are out-of-order. Depends on your use case.

I also check for CSS support in the browser using the "supports" feature and utilize the native support if it is enabled (e.g. Firefox behind a flag, and Safari behind a switch).
So much of high status jobs is looking the part, and demonstrating a certain masculine/eugenic "right" to a position above others. It has been repeatedly shown taller people out-earn and rise to higher ranks than their shorter peers. Same goes for more attractive, men with higher testosterone levels (which correlate and whose effects form virtuous confounding cycles pairwise with athletic ability, socialization, physical attractiveness, etc).

Business is all about impressions. People respond much more positively towards people on the high end of all the mentioned traits vs the low end. If a company wants to make a good impression, they'll send a 6'2" handsome athlete over a 5'8" underweight introvert. Life is the continuous compounded realization of opportunities afforded by the luck your preexisting circumstances allow you to have.

One simply has to browse through the headshots of C-levels and VCs vs engineers and researchers. People tend to gravitate towards the fields that affirm where they "ought" to be by our biological and cultural biases. You'll notice that even among those in more stereotypically "nerdy" fields, those who make a bigger name for themselves and gain more social status tend to be physical exceptions to the negative stereotypes ascribed to their group.
The whole point is that you want the shopping experience to be such that a child can predict how much they will pay at the counter, not so much that this particular scenario has to be considered and fulfilled.

> For a big corp, they want to advertise nationally. "$1 hamburgers!" or "$799 refrigerator!". You can't make a national ad if you have to have precise pricing.

If we zoom out of the “uniquely American issue” mindset for a second and look at how this is solved elsewhere, then it becomes clear that it doesn’t have to be an issue.

In this day and age plenty of multinational corporations advertise a euro price that applies for all the countries in Europe that carry the euro. This is a situation where companies have to account for varying VAT rates.

The solution? Companies take this into account w/r/t their margins when advertising a euro price that applies to all euro countries.

In the US however it’s even less of an issue.
I’ve noticed as a European that when you watch TV here in the US many ads are hyper localized, mentioning the closest local store.
If they can do that then they can list the price the item has at that store.

The real reason the full price including taxes isn’t used is because companies can make it look cheaper without hurting their margins, thus draw in more customers.

Right, the only thing worse than USB was the PS2 port. What sort of madness drive someone to invent a round connector that is keyed.

Hyperbole aside, there are some very good reasons to go with round connectors, it can be very strong and you can put a big nut on them to have an extremely secure lock. however the PS2 connector is nether of these things, It would require a much more robust key to work well.

The worst connector I ever encountered was on a old ATI capture card, it was the same barrel as a ps2 connector but had about 15 pins. Everything had to be perfect for it to insert, a tiny scratch or a slightly bent pin, it was not going anywhere.

what you're describing would make end-running the GPL absurdly easy. Vendors would just distribute vanilla Linux source code and in another file distribute their not-a-derivative patches under their own proprietary license.

Patches are obviously a derivative work. No one spontaneously describes deleting several lines of code & then replacing it with other lines of code.
Agree with you there... O.F. especially
I know that there are various strategies for picking pseudo random numbers, but what I mean by determinism is that as far as we can tell, the activation trigger for a neuron is highly dependent on outside signals like hormones. That means that a biological “dot product” will be different if you are tired vs. well rested.

A dot product run on Intel CPUs are intended to always be the same no matter what. The heat signature stuff isn’t changing the way circuits do math.

As to optical illusions, the point I was making was that “the way humans practically perceive something” is not a sufficient way to measure the similarness of two things, since our perceptions are so often tricked (LLMs are literally trained specifically to trick you into thinking you’re talking to sentience).

I also don’t think they are completely unrelated at all. As I said I know we designed one to be like the other. It’s just by no means “the same.” AI may one day do convergent evolution toward how brains think, but it’s still important to recognize that’s convergent evolution.
This is exactly right! I believe C's popularity grew so quickly because of its correlation with the popularity of Unix and its descendants. And yes, Sun pushing Java very hard certainly grew its adoption.

JavaScript is a really interesting case; initially, I don't think it was really taken very seriously. It was mostly tolerated because of its privileged status as part of the web platform. But since so much has moved from desktop application to the browser, that privileged status has proven all the more valuable!
Yeah, this working remote shit is killing my career.
> a satellite orbiting around the Earth is really going in a straight line but space is curved.

This is not quite how it works, I think. The gravity of the Earth isn't high enough to cause space to curve around in a circle, and the path of the satellite depends on its orbital velocity. If it fired a rocket forwards to reduce speed, it would fall towards the Earth, but that's not due to a change in space curvature.

The paths taken by light will follow the curvature, however. That would give a very small deflection for light passing near the Earth.
Drones are a solution to the targeting problem: the operator watches through a live video link, identifies the target, then deploys weapons. (Drops grenade/launches Hellfire/navigates into the enemy)

This is why, despite being technically feasible, we haven't seen drone swarms yet. You can easily build 1000 drones, but you can't have 1000 channels of live video over radio back to 1000 drone operators.

Europe's First Exascale Supercomputer Will Run on ARM Instead of x86
I have the Phillips Wiz and they work fine without internet, just need to be on the same wifi network.

They also work with no network at all, directly with the switch, but lack ability to make new changes to things like brightness or color, and instead only work with the details user-set settings or the secondary user-set settings, which are accessed by flipping the switch twice.

I think this is fair. It’s not as if nothing works, they basically revert to dumb bulbs in the absence of wifi, or dumbish bulbs that only remember the two defaults the user had set.
I just tried btop, it has crazy colours (nothing like screenshots) on my Mac Terminal app (Misterioso theme).
You also have a range advantage coming up.

Your arm and the end of your sword can more easily reach the feet and lower legs of something above you.

Whereas coming down the stairs, you have a harder time getting your sword to reach someone coming up because your range is reduced due to the height of your body.
Why are sticker prices $24.99 instead of $25.00? Tricks the brain into thinking the price is lower. Same thing with additional tax at counter instead of sicker price.

Probably because they are so large, there is a lot of variation in the quality of various features.

I think they did a great job with the new UI (quite old now)

The transition to prefabs inside prefabs seems to have gone smoothly for us, and updates to the editor itself seem well engineered.

It was probably a mistake to split the renderer. And its not great that it took _years_ to bring the URP back up to the level of the old renderer. We only just upgraded to the 2022 LTS and only just got shadows on point lights back. They have been missing for years!

The new input system works well, seems like good technology, but a little over complicated and documentation struggles because such a big system. I wish they were simply more prescriptive of how it should be used.

The addressables are a total fuck up. They push it very hard in the documentation but every time I have to interact with it I wish we had just dumped everything in a resource folder.

I can't comment on the DOTS because I never played with it.

https://github.com/rnvannatta/vanity-scheme

I am currently making a r7rs scheme derivative that compiles to C. The lofty goal is parallel fibers.

It's in extreme early stages, and I don't expect anyone will use it other than me, but I already like it. The compiler has been self hosted for a few months now. It has a cool FFI that you can see in use in the demos folder. Working on adding header generation to the module system.

While Chicken Scheme is cool, I don't think it'll be parallel, and not in the way I want it to be, and I am willing to make a lot of compromises Chicken isn't to get there. As mentioned, I am willing to settle with fibers for parallelism, and heavily eschewing side effects, making changes from r7rs to get there. For example, there will be no dynamic-wind provided and parameter objects will have different, thread friendlier, semantics.

----

My main reason for choosing C as a transpile is that it's easier to lean on gcc and C11 than it is to write my own codegen, and LLVM is too unstable for me to handle. I started writing this in June 2022, and since then LLVM has had 3 backwards compatibility breaking major release and millions of lines of code changed.
