for companies raising 9 figure later-stage rounds? that's not obvious to me

and relevant to this case, often the investor will do a higher valuation (artificially minting a unicorn etc) for optics/vanity reasons, which eats an additional 1+ years of future growth, eliminating the relevance of a discount here

and for folks who many not have followed terms above: investors get preferred shares, with rights over these discounted common shares. These include things like veto rights over acquisitions, first money out ("if $200M raised, no one else sees any $ until that $200M is paid back"), and for high-valuation unicorn rounds, often something like a participation multiple ("guaranteed extra $100M profit, so no one sees anything till $300M paid"), high interest rate on convertible debt portions, etc. So beyond the obvious dilution hit of new investors, there are a lot of these gotchas that trade a bigger bank account for heightened exit value risks to employees.
The kind of people who can self direct learning don't really need much schooling. I don't understand it but some people need the textbook read to them in a classroom to learn anything.
I disagree, at early startup scale you don't need much, you just buy a better VPS when you need to scale up

Learning aws vs learning how to operate a vps are of comparable complexity

One of the reasons the Dutch transportation system is so radically different is because there was strong backlash to rising child deaths from motor vehicles - aka Stop de Kindermoord.

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

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/02/20/the-origins-of-hollan...

In the Netherlands in many residential areas, the streets are primarily for walking and bicycling; drivers must yield to everything else, because they are the greatest danger on the road. There's extensive, comprehensive separated cycling infrastructure. There's a presumption of fault, not innocence, if you hit a cyclist or pedestrian with your car.

In the US, guns have only recently overtaken motor vehicle related deaths (which have been declining) as the top killers of children.

Unfortunately, the Dutch are weaponized against cycling infrastructure elsewhere. "Well, you can't have bicycles in the streets until you have comprehensively education of children in how to cycle", for example (despite plenty of evidence that, around the world, cyclists do not break traffic laws more than drivers.) Or defeatist nonsense like "there's no point to legal protections for cyclists in the street, we must only work for separated infrastructure."
The amount of "gotchas" in this process and the tooling required just to use git + email seems insane to me. If it works for you, great, but I don't expect a new hire (experienced or not) to pickup this flow and run with it.
T-mobile has become super untrustworthy. Their support team now regularly lies in order to close the ticket.

Why stay with HF instead of going OpenAI?
I have, yeah. A couple years ago I got a bunch of Tasmota-flashable ones, and I use them for the coffeemaker, a couple stereos, and one table lamp. Oh yeah, and the christmas lights. :)

My issue with those is that they fail the "normal person" test. A normal person will try to turn on a lamp and it will never work because the smart plug is off. But with a smart bulb, it'll come on after they twist the stem a couple times. (And it never gets noticed! People are used to 3-way style lamp sockets needing a couple clicks to turn regular bulbs on and off, so they don't really notice that they had to double twist the stem to get the light to turn on)
My experience in Germany was very different. I walked across a street without the walking man and people looked at me like I was naked.

I would argue it helped older, more mature people who have greater self-discipline. Not only that but they are quite self motivated. They are great - for those people.

If you want to teach every child (which is what we do) then the classroom is by far a better model. Teachers do this every day. They set online tutorials and quizzes for homework.

I think all these billionaires are caught up in the idea that the next Einstein is wasting their time in traditional schools, mostly based on the billionaires memory that their time was wasted at school and their belief that they were geniuses whose time was wasted.

I was a smart, bookish kid with ADHD who was last in school decades ago. It seems like such hubris to even think I have any answers about how to fix the school system in 2023 let alone my personal experiences would have some bearing on optimal modern educational methods.
Podcast Content Intelligence - https://siev.io/

I've been working on building a content intelligence dataset on podcast data. Using new LLMs I'm able to transcribe, speaker detect, and topic extract anything in the podcast space (or audio in general) and produce a detailed structured dataset from what people are talking about.

The website is jank as hell atm, but I think the resulting transcripts are pretty interesting - https://siev.io/episode/b6139bf3-f680-42c0-bc9d-f195fd71f293

Not in my experience. My impression is that it's a degenerative process that only gets worse.

Recommendations: More stimulus to mask it and just "tune it out".

One possible prophylaxis may be vitamin supplementation of A, C, B-12, D2 & K3.

Possibly unrelated: I have SCDS (a tiny hole between the brain and inner ear). Although it makes eating crunchy foods extremely loud internally, the internal feedback echo of speaking annoying, and some loud music can disturb my oculovestibular reflex.

This is an odd/strawman take. Personalized education in the form of tutoring is consistently the biggest intervention in education, don't have the definitive studies handy but there are many (here is one https://edworkingpapers.org/sites/default/files/ai20-267.pdf).

I would suspect almost nobody (Gates, Kahn, etc) suggest having an entirely asocial education experience.

As we can figure out how to replicate the effects of tutoring with technology, we should see massive improvements in education outcomes.

Perhaps cache effects. If one instance has relatively large memory footprint, then two instances will compete for L3 cache. One moment they may share some common memory or just not use much memory and work fast, next moment they will work on distinct memory sets which will cause active cache thrashing. Different runs of several instances will interact a bit differently each time, resulting in big differences in run times.

On their system two instances work fine because they have two CPUs so two L3 caches.

Their Opterons actually have an unusual cache hierarchy by modern standards - L2 and L1i caches are also shared, in every pair of cores. L3 is shared between all cores as usual.

It's a small go web server that queues jobs (commands in a whitelist and a list of args) and runs them in go routines with some max parallelism, and a browser extension to submit commands with the URL as the last argument. I use it to run scraping and archiving scripts on things mostly.
You're conflating two kinds of bad students: the stupid ones and the poorly-behaved ones. Students with lower intellectual capacities should absolutely be helped; students who are disruptive, not so much. They may need to be sacrificed so the majority can have a decent learning environment.

Costream allows you to enjoy livestreamed content across multiple platforms simultaneously.

Professional e-sports tend to be limited to the official broadcast. This has created a subculture in the streaming world where people mute the main broadcast but continue to watch it, and then open a second stream of a professional player and listen to their commentary.

Costream aims to enable that with customizable UI elements.

I have a ton of features in the pipeline, but I've decided to take a break and wait to see how many users are actually interested in it before dedicating more time.
I'd bet that there are any number of submarine startups out there sitting on top of full downloads of Common Crawl, archive.org, etc. who are only too happy to let OpenAI be the first penguin off the iceberg.

If OpenAI survives all the legal challenges, they'll just click "Go" and be in business in weeks to months.

If OpenAI gets smacked down, they haven't lost much.

There are probably also some submarine operations that are already doing/have done the training. If OpenAI gets bankrupted for copyright violations, we'll just never hear from those.

I was just wondering that too, I’ve dealt with release forms before and that concept is entirely at the state level

Also, think about these disruptive kids.

They are the minority. They clearly don't function well in the conventional school setting. They are struggling to learn the material. They learn how to disrupt though, and how the grown-ups around them are powerless. They learn to be constantly blamed, and feel miserable, defiant, or both. A lot of wrong lessons.

This makes the lives of these disruptive kids worse. Being in a public school robs them of a chance to become decent people and get an education. These kids should receive a special education, tailored to their special needs, like e.g. autistic kids get a special education.
> this is a case where 12 factor is so successful / dominant today I don't think you even know what it's arguing against anymore

Thank you! This is the same thing people miss when they read things like the Agile Manifesto, or about DevOps, or even architectural choices like React's original pitch for one-way data binding - or, dare I say, microservices.

You can read these things today, and see flaws - holes in the argument, mistaken assumptions, or misread them as claiming to be superior to things that have been developed since. No - to understand what they are talking about you need to know what was current common knowledge or accepted wisdom in the world when they were written.

I'm sure some people at google and meta were screaming at the top of their lungs to jump on the ai bandwagon before chatgpt - but you know how things work in large companies.

OHTTP is designed for low latency or lightweight applications. A VPN (or MASQUE, to later comments) requires that you do two handshakes before making a request: one with the VPN and one with the server you want to talk to. OHTTP does away with the second and, where where you are making multiple requests, lets the first handshake only occur once (a VPN/MASQUE can do this too).

Now, this has very little to do with what you might trust Firefox or Mozilla to do. OHTTP only provides a degree of anonymity. If you don't want to share the data that is carried in the message, then you might want to disable the request, not the privacy protections that OHTTP provides. Firefox will use OHTTP for different purposes, so you need to look at each in turn.
I think Amazon have been their own enemy here, their antics have set the conditions for a race to the bottom.

Instead of Amazon's early days where I'd see a large range of options and quality/price levels, I now deal with page after page of the same low-quality options from a large number of "different" suppliers. Increasing my spend doesn't work, as they've got that angle covered, it's just the same items but with a higher price. I can't even rely on reviews, since those are gamed too.

Then when I did find the item, the next hoop to jump through was the scams, when it's clothing: it's often a knock off using stolen photos, or the wrong size, or return instructions that demand delivery to a far away country even though the goods didn't come from there.

Then there are the issues with counterfeiting, or worse, like when Amazon's own staff steal the product by swapping the contents of the box - something that is incredibly difficult to prove with customer service.

Now if I want to shop online, I visit a store's website and buy directly. No scams, no counterfeits, no wrong sizes or b/s photos.
Yeah, same with Meta.

Both have a large graveyard of failed innovation attempts. Remember Google Buzz? Google Plus?

If there is are traffic lights and they are red, you're not allowed to walk. Germans really seem to care about those rules, in many other countries people also walk on red lights if there are no cars coming, and nobody cares.
Multistep is fair, though for the record "multi" in this case means 2. One of those steps (the only thing that differs by OS) is installing git- I think you'd agree that gatekeeping by ability to install git is pretty reasonable for a project that uses git. Using git send-email doesn't require much more configuration than configuring ssh keys to push to GitHub. The fact is, most open source development workflows outside the safe confines of java on intellij will rely on the ability to use a few commands. We're better off making more great documentation like this to help new people adjust than deliberately clipping their wings.
No, the issue is the proliferation of CSAM. Reducing child abuse in CSAM production is only one of the reasons its prohibited. I find it hard to believe that a long time technology advocate like yourself is unaware of the fact that the circulation of older CSAM continues to hurt people who were abused in its manufacture.

Your comment unfortunately exemplifies the problem of tech people trying to define the problem away rather than directly address the harms involved or propose privacy-respecting technical solutions to proactively mitigate it.

Also, the engine is GPL-licensed, but the installer isn’t. https://www.geogebra.org/license#FAQ:

“How is GeoGebra licensed?

We license the different component parts of GeoGebra differently depending on their origin (authorship) and depending on your intended use of GeoGebra (see also next question)

- the source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License to ensure consistency with the various other pieces of software and libraries which are used within the GeoGebra source code (for a complete list of which see: https://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Reference:Sources_For_Used_Libr...).

Thus, there are really many different licenses involved in the background.”

I also noticed that one of their non-free options allows you the use of their logo. IANAL, but I don’t think the GPL automatically allows you that.
This is not how it works in the UK. There is no such thing as "right of way" on a road in the way you have described it. It does not refer to any kind of legal priority of one kind of road user over another. You will sometimes hear irate motorists complaining "you can't do that, I had the right of way!" but it doesn't mean what they think. The "right of way" simply means that the public has a right to use the way, by whatever lawful means -- on foot, on a bike, on a horse, etc. So, "having the right of way" is the tautology that you happen to physically occupy some chunk of public highway; it has no bearing on whether you were in the right.

If the term meant what people thought, motorists would never have the right of way, since driving is not a right, but requires a license, and the ability to travel on public highways in cars is a creation of statute, not common law.

Recent revisions of the Highway Code put about a hierarchy of road users, but opposite to the one you have put across. Smaller, slower, more vulnerable road users have priority over larger and faster vehicles.

>Designated crosswalks by their very existence imply "this is an area you should be especially aware of pedestrians", which by nature makes it easier for a driver to avoid causing a collisions. If cross walks have been provided, it only makes sense to require pedestrians to use them if they want prioritized right of way.

This begs the question. You only need specially designated areas where pedestrians might be, if it is otherwise dangerous for pedestrians to cross the road. Why build roads to be dangerous to pedestrians in the first place? Why should pedestrians have their freedoms curtailed because of the actions of motorists?

In the UK, pedestrians are not required to use zebra crossings, nor are they even required to obey a red light at a pelican crossing (it is merely advisory). Britons have the absolute freedom to cross the road wherever and whenever they please, so long as it's not on a motorway. You are simply allowed to use your own common sense and situational awareness. And we have far fewer traffic fatalities than North America, so maybe we are doing something right.

>Every rule I've seen on cycling requires pedestrians to give right of way to bicycles.

As a cyclist I find this idea appalling. What you are describing sounds like the Law of the Jungle.
The act may be good, but this 70 years after death thing was a disaster for copyright. Seems like 5 years after death is plenty to avoid any issues.

So, I lived through a lot of that and feel like some of this is people either forgetting or not having experienced what it was like pre-cold war thaw.

On the other hand, Ukraine feels different to me for some reason and seems tied to broader territorial ambitions, which wasn't exactly the case before because the territory was put in place in WWII. There was Afghanistan etc but that didn't have the domino implications of NATO.

The Soviet state also seemed more stable to me than the current megalomaniac plutocracy.

China also didn't have the same presence it does now. There's more big players in some ways.

On the other hand, for awhile there in the past there were nuclear drills in classrooms, and it was for a reason.

I don't really see WWIII happening soon but if things continue to escalate everywhere it seems reasonable to wonder about it. People wondered then too.
> Even Google and Apple probably won't last 100 years.

I'm not sure, there are 100+ yo companies like Kodak, Nikon, IBM, Panasonic, GSK, Merck, etc. With that in mind, it's not hard for me to imagine that some of the tech giants will also have a presence in hundred years, maybe not as dominant as today, but they could survive.

As a short addenda and much more within reach of the project is that we have many hapax legomena (that is a word or an expression that occurs only once within a context) in classical Western languages that are likely to have meanings discerned on the basis of these new texts (not to say anything of new hapax legomena).

For example, the Iliad and Odyssey alone contain around 500 hapaxes. Even if the ground is not shaken, there will at least be some tremors in the field, regardless of whether whole works will.be able to be successfully recovered.
