Unlike standardized PCs, embedded systems are not just about specs and prices, but much more about stability and the whole ecosystem. What helps a higher spec if you can not find a stable driver or the documents are so bad, you can not make heads or tails from that? What helps a cheaper price tag if you have to spend days trying to figure out why sometimes a hardware connection works but sometimes not?

Ultimately, time is money. If I manufacture something en-masse, obviously a few dollars difference is important. But for my one-off hobby project? I'll stick with what works.
You basically don’t exist unless you hustle like crazy as if you want to be a famous influencer. Like, imagine your goal is just to get people to read your work and get some feedback: good luck with that unless you’re first willing to invest a year into growing an audience from scratch. The seo and content marketing spam has buried almost all organic content and google seems to reward it instead of blacklisting those sites

>does YouTube not care about UX? I generally find the UX pretty good

You think it's "pretty good" when a video is interrupted at some random point in time (usually while someone is mid-word) to play some annoying video at a much, much louder volume than the video? That is not what I consider a "good user experience" at all.
Then how do you send traffic to device1 on another network? You need globally unique addresses and hierarchy. Go back to the drawing board and come back when you’ve ended up inventing a worse IP protocol.

Because you haven’t even thought through basic use cases.
>If you just memorized the proofs, but cannot actually recreate them, it means that you did not actually learn it, and the perfect score on the exam doesn’t matter.

I wasn't tested on the exact proofs and problems I memorized. I was tested on variations and novel combinations of them I haven't seen before. That sure sounds like learning to me.

Further you can't just memorize a proof straight through, there isn't enough space in your brain for that - rather the act of mentally walking through the theorem over and over via an Anki flashcard prompt will eventually just... Change your logic, invisibly, to be correct. Which, again, sounds a lot like learning to me.

>The point of learning mathematics is to be able to transfer this skill into new domains, not to just regurgitate it.

I am far more confident in both my intuition and conscious reasoning around e.g. Abelian groups or the enumerative combinatorics applications of group actions than whatever I learned in real analysis, where I studied in the "usual" way. Indeed going back to learn Haskell a few years after that AA course was much easier than earlier attempts because I had a considerably stronger background in what kinds of things to look for in that domain.

But more importantly homework problems are rigged [1] and transfer learning is close to non-existent in every domain we've seriously looked at [2], so this is awfully close to moving the goalposts on what "really learning" something is by setting an unreasonably high bar to start with. Math certainly can transfer to new domains, but I would never call that "the point" of math, and that's also a totally different endeavor to be performed in addition to learning the math itself.

Have been using PyCharm. Few years ago switched to a thin and sleek MacBook Air for it being lighter to carry around.

And then it became difficult with PyCharm because MacBook Air started to struggle.

Reluctantly switched to VS code few years ago and I have not missed anything since then. Performance was great even then. So is it now.

Have used it for almost everything from Go to Typescript and everything in between.
QEMU is also a lovely piece of software, and completely free and open source.

It lacks the graphical interface of VirtualBox, but it's more scriptable, in my opinion.

In fact, virt-manager basically bridges the gap between VirtualBox and QEMU with the unfortunate dependency of libvirt.

Well, if the current choice is between Gmail and Outlook, it seems like bad mojo that all the operators of e-mail are also operators of advertising networks; they are the "attention brokers" of the world.

Amazon has people pay them for infrastructure and has no line of busines that seems like a conflict of interests. (Online retailing doesn't seem like one, for example).
right, because so many people are typing in the incorrectly shortened URL instead of clicking on the link. something that happens to work nowhere on any page, that's what people are going to rely on to contact CIA. phew, they really dodged a bullet here because putin didn't figure this out first!
Also if you just fire someone, you get to pick who you fire. If people leave because of low morale, you don't get to pick who leaves. It will probably be those most desirable to the outside market, though, which is exactly the opposite effect you want on your company.

It does hurt to let people go, and I understand why people don't want to put themselves in that position. But to some extent, that's why you get paid the big bucks. If it was all sunshine and rainbows, you'd just do it for free! (I finally canceled my cable last week after 5 months of procrastinating. So don't put me in charge of your Fortune 500. But there's someone that can get the job done, probably. ;)

I am also unsure that laying people off during a high interest rate period makes a lot of sense. The article smugly points out that "other bets" made 200 million while losing 800 million. If you only care that every venture makes money, then you probably won't ever hit the next big thing. Look at ChatGPT vs. Bard, for example, and remind me which company pioneered consumer AI products. Stop investing, and it's all gone in a flash.

Staff that failed to make random idea #32 work might very well make random idea #33 work. If you take a failed project and wait to start assembling a brand new team after you think of random idea #33, you're already years behind. What if your competitor just kept the team and moved right on to random idea #33? You're done! Scary! (But at some point, money doesn't matter, and I think most of the founders / execs at these big companies are more than finished. If they go out with a whimper instead of a bang, it doesn't really change their life. So, sell that stock today I guess!)
A clarification: You can certainly assume that char is 8 bits if you don't mind losing portability to a small minority of systems.

If I'm being pedantic, I might add something like

#if CHAR_BIT != 8
#error "This code assumes 8-bit char"
#endif

But realistically, if I'm using headers defined by either POSIX or Windows, that's probably enough of a guarantee. (Though I'd still use CHAR_BIT rather than 8 to refer to the number of bits in a byte.)
TLDR:

The premise isn't ambitious enough, the use cases seem thin, and the lack of marketing pop reflects a lack of distinct USP. But, I'm encouraged to see someone trying technically ambitious work like this because its barking up the right tree.

Long version:

It seems like your value prop is possibly about how various workflows are organized vis-a-vis each other, but that really doesn't come through in your marketing. Rethinking the info architecture and organization of information in support of more efficient and focused workflows is a promising place to go but everything in the screenshots shows me things I've already seen. Each of the items in your marketing had me going 'I already have something for that, and this is probably way worse'.

I'm not seeing ideas in here yet that are sufficient to consider worthy of the technical challenge you've undertaken - that is, an environment where you have complete control over apps.

For instance, app grids are terrible, even the notion of apps is terrible because apps have their own distractions and workflows span apps. I'd expect something that sits at a layer below (web)apps to be able to do something about that, like extract useful things from apps without showing me the whole app. You need to flex your unique position with product approaches like this.

The main idea I'm seeing besides organizing is the time/task system. This looks a bit like single player Clockwise [1] and raises more questions than it answers. The main concern I have with this is that any auto-schedule is going to be rather rigid and force me to babysit it to meet my expectations. The real test of systems managing our time is how adaptable they are to the uncertainties life throws at us, not the creation of rigid work plans. In this case it would be good to shift your marketing (& product) to how your product adapts to various scenarios and use cases in the user's life, rather than presenting an idealized way of working that users have to adapt to.

For whatever it's worth I've done some thinking around organizing OSes differently in my Spaces concept [2] and I'd guess you're probably aware of MercuryOS [3] ideas. Both of those start from premises far different than our current paradigm and show the implications of how organizing information differently creates unexpected new ways to use our devices. I would encourage a similar level of ambitious premise to justify this level of technical undertaking. Glad you're in the arena doing this work though, as the technical undertaking creates the opportunity for more ambitious ideas to be possible.

Usually I instinctively want to upvote anything that's gotten such a beatdown.

In this case, though, it's deserved. Nobody can "drive the price down." That's a futile pursuit, and would be illegal if it worked.
I want to ask this ignorant question

Other than being OS, cheaper... For the consumer do they need to know that it's risc v? Would a laptop instead of saying "Intel" or "ryzen" it would say risc v on the sticker... Otherwise it's still windows or ChromeOS?
Entrapment would be if they coerced you into doing it when you weren’t going to do it on your own.
I have the same as OP. I tried that, thinking maybe I was just working too much on the good days. Didn't help. Now I ride the wave, having a good day. I crunch out as much as I can.
But you can do that already. DNS, ARP, TCP/UDP, and IP are all completely optional.

We have "uncontacted tribes" here, still.

And the contacts that may have happened may have been unlawful. Perhaps they must be kept seekrit so that when the legitimate contact does happen, and the Interstellar Squid announce themselves, they can officially say they've followed the rules and we are a self evolved species, not uplifted by such and so and therefore their property.

see some of the works of David Brin (uplift) and Jerry Pournelle (King David's Spaceship) for further nods at those ideas.
I doubt it. I think this is a replacement for the existing on-prem Outlook, as well as replacing Quip and Workdocs which have been languishing for years. But I really doubt this replaces Slack/Chime for chat/video respectively.

It starts out simple :-).

Then you realize doing some action ends up being O(n^2) so you add some workaround in your switch and cache some things. And you know what they say about cache invalidation. And vendor A implemented it wrong in 1993 so you have a special case for their systems. And then you want to handle abuse cases. And authentication. And you're competing against the whole rest of the world and your thing isn't enough better.

That could actually be valuable information. If the competitor can avoid the costs involved with wasting development time on something that's already known by someone else to not work, that's money that can be spent on a different direction.
You'll find a great many people on this very forum arguing that a given law is bad because it's bad for the market, dismissing the question of whether that market is actually producing good outcomes for humans as beneath consideration. So in practice a lot of people do elevate the market over more human values, and that influences the political process and the law.

The most frustrating thing for me is fucking Google. Their search results are so bad these days I can't get my game to the top even though thousands play it every day and link to it on social media. I'm at the top of Bing, DDG, Kagi. These sites run links to each other and Google's dumb algo loves it.
Usually they don't use iFrame but proxy the whole request. Since using CloudFlare as my CDN a few of the app thieves have been defeated.
VS Code has semantic highlighting too, and I'm pretty sure it works with Python these days (might need the right extension/colour scheme).
Does anyone know of a second source to back this claim up? These numbers are "estimates ... based on machine learning algorithms using data from various websites and apps". We all know machine learning algorithms produce the outputs you train them to, and the nature of the company producing the data combined with current events gives me reason to pause before accepting it at face value.

That said, I haven't been able to find a good second opinion on this.

There are hundreds of instances of (char)0=0; in github, and there are none of the bit_cast variant, so if your goal is to inform people how to read code, starting with the one humans might actually encounter in the wild makes sense.

If you want "twice as hot" to be meaningful, you have to use an absolute scale, either Kelvin or Rankine. (1 K = 1.8 °R)
Doubling absolute temperature doubles the pressure (at constant volume) or volume (at constant pressure) of an ideal gas. This gets really important when it comes to compressing and expanding air and other gasses.

Room temperature is approximately 293 K, twice that is 586 K / 595 °F / 313 °C. Hotter than your typical oven cooking temperature.

We often don't realize how warm the world we live in truly is, from a physics standpoint.

During actual sprint I actually expect tested deliverables.

LoRA are explicitly supported, though you have to convert them, as well as the base model.

The scientific system is in love with shooting stars: rewards and prizes usually go to those that already have some. Every comity lives in fear of handing out recommendations to someone who will not “go on to do great things”.
