Show HN: How to Shut Down a Venture Backed Startup [pdf]
After shutting down my own venture-backed startups a few years ago (and since helping dozens of startups do the same) I put together a comprehensive guide on how to go about it.
We also use it for all devs but I'm thinking of cancelling. The bugs it introduced that were too easy to glance over cost us more time in total than it really saves us imho.
"Universal Acclaim" being a phrase metacritic associates with a 8.5 score- from a whopping 509 reviews. Not very universal
Thanks for the additional details about your experience (and I'm sorry about them). Statistically, I'm slightly surprised that you were in a co-op that long ago. I was home-schooled a few years earlier and the notion of a co-op was just starting to be discussed.
I do something similar at home: lie on my bed with a keyboard half leaning on each of my hips.

One of these days I'll get around to 3D-printing a clamp or something.
Okay, here's something written by Trump supporter and Cal State Fresno prof. Victor Davis Hanson discussing the effect of immigration on a community where he has lived since 1970:

I've bounced around Splunk, New Relic, Sentry and Datadog over the years. Most recently, I was working with Java and used the open source Vendor-neutral application observability facade Micrometer[1] to test out and confirm which APM we wanted to go with.

ChatGPT4 is more often than not noticeably slow enough that I question why I pay for it.
That doesn't correspond to what the article itself says. GPU might not be supported yet but it doesn't look like the bare minimum either.

>The trust that’s given to employees will be returned tenfold–or even hundredfold. Everyone wins.

I must be a mercenary because that still reads to me as "we can do these things instead of paying you more". In fact, there is no mention of where their compensation falls, so it would be especially rude to do all of these things and then underpay your employees.
Auto-play video with sound is allowed by browsers after you interact with a web page. Youtube is an SPA (you can tell because it often fucks up the back button) so when you click on video link, you're interacting and auto-play works. When you open in a new tab, it loads anew and won't auto-play because there hasn't been any interaction.

Congrats on the launch! Been waiting for this.
Out of curiosity, why do you think the answer would be so simple and also completely untested?
What Problem Does ChatGPT Solve?
I kept waiting for the ideology, which is mostly absent from this, but here it is:

>Of the 10 districts with the most home-schooled kids in The Post database, nine are in Florida. That’s partly because of the state’s large school districts, but also because its elected officials have grown friendlier to home education as they saddle public schools with politically charged restrictions on what can be taught about race and gender.

So, FL parents are homeschooling because they object to the rules recently put in place about teaching about racism and LGBT issues?

Somehow, I doubt that.
I’m not sure how I’d improve the formulation in a way that would remove explicit questions.
Seems like a reasonable suspicion. The behind the scenes video shows use of DaVinci Resolve throughout.
That and the focus of the company being relatively niche with little to no competition in the space.

Like sure, there are other fancy furniture companies who could probably pay you more, but you'll most likely have to uproot yourself and move to a completely different city or even a different country.

With all this in mind, low turnover is natural.

Human rights are inherent in our existence as human beings. Or created by God if you believe in Him. They aren't "constructed by society," and this last paragraph is borderline advocating violence because you think some people have too many things.

News flash: this noble group of disinterested autocrats you think can allocate people's property better than themselves doesn't exist. They're the same biased schmucks as the rest of us are.

Yes, but if you don't check the printf return code (in C, say) the program won't fail. It'll return 0 (i.e. report success) but it did not do what it promised to do on the tin. If you only check its non-negativity, you might only have written "Hell" and again the program merrily carries on and says "all OK: 0!"

Not really good if AI can run around it but to normal people it exists as before.
A school-like environment that doesn't indoctrinate their children in values that the parents disagree with, which is what would happen if their children went to public schools.
Cool! Never heard of it and definitely gonna check it.
> IMO it’s probably a lot easier to fix this broken system rather than burn it to the ground and do homeschooling instead.

Imagine your school district has banned teaching algebra to 8th graders, for reasons of equity. You're upset at this, since you have a child about to attend 8th grade. You go to a school board meeting, express yourself, and are at best ignored or more likely called names. What, from the perspective of a parent with a child who needs an education, do you then do? Fixing the system would be nice and all, but how do you do that before your kid becomes an adult, let alone make up for all the damage public schooling has been doing in the meantime?
> I mean reading this it just sounds like they are discovering the hard way the concept of... a school??

Yeah, a school that works.
If you just taught kids the Bible, at a minimum they would have amazing literacy skills.
So I gave it this prompt:

> I need a typescript function which takes in an object with an id string property and a string message property, and also takes an array of search strings, and returns a mapping of search strings to matching message ids

The response I got was close, but it assumed that each search string would match only one message, so it returned Record<string, string>. I fed this to GPT-3.5 and it answered 10x faster with the correct return type.

This is a slightly tricky example, because it requires the model to infer that multiple message matches are possible. But I think that it’s interesting that ChatGPT nailed it despite not using any chain of thought.
You have much more patience than I. After the second email type I deleted my account.
It's the other way around, headscale would manage this operator.
> h265 (HEVC) was all but DoA until years after it's introduction Apple finally decided to embrace it

No? You're talking in terms of PC / phone hardware support only. HEVC was first released June 7, 2013. The UHD Blu-ray standard was released less than 3 years later on February 14, 2016 - and it was obvious to everyone in the intervening years that UHD Blu-ray would use HEVC because it needed support for 4k and HDR, both of which HEVC was specifically designed to be compatible with. (Wikipedia says licensing for UHD Blu-ray on the basis of a released spec began in mid 2015.)

I tried this question and GPT4 did way way better to getting closer to a final answer. Phind was horribly wrong. I can't help but think something seems off with your eval given just how badly Phind did on this.

I want to make an interactive plot in Colab where I can show

X axis is interest rate of a 15 year mortgage.
Y axis is the relative advantage of buying a house vs. renting in terms of total net worth at 15 years.

Assume a monthly budget for renting + investing or buying a house of 10k

Plot different lines for a few different market returns.

Make a slider that controls the total size of the loan.
In my experience, Phind is not as good as GPT4, but it's by far the second best LLM for programming. I find that tremendously impressive considering they are competing against the whole world for that title right now.

I agree with the assessment about consistency being its major flaw. While with GPT4 I can continue a conversation for quite long, Phind easily looses the required context. Perhaps it has to do with summarization capabilities, or messing with the context window has these types of side effects.
Then these should be distinguished and regulated appropriately.
Why does it matter if they are getting government funding when the article is discussing government subsidy to the tune of $18B?

It might be more cost effective to service rural customers using Starlink. I know of many people working remotely using it. Some of which have fiber at the road in front of them, running it up to their rural home from the road would still cost tens of thousands out of pocket and opted for Starlink.

If we are all helping pay to deliver internet access to every part of this country, which I wholeheartedly agree with, could we do so in a way that maybe also helps R&D space travel instead of whatever Comcast or Verizon is doing?
Pay is just part of the story. I'm so frustrated with the current company that I'm willing to cut my TC to transfer to something I'm happier with.
But that’s for the data part (otel) and not the applicative part (alerts, dashboards, etc)
I mean we know that compensation isn't the primary factor for most people's happiness and satisfaction in their professional life. Put mercenary in and get mercenary out if you want, but for most people that's not the optimal strategy.
That’s true, but it supports my point not yours. In 1950, Pakistan and China both had a GDP per capita around $600. Today, China is probably within a generation of becoming a developed country and eliminating child labor. Pakistan is nowhere close.

Of course capitalism doesn’t eliminate child labor overnight. Villages in Pakistan and to a lesser extent China would starve to death if you eliminated child labor overnight. But capitalism is the only system that has proven capable of nearly eliminating it from a society over time.
Painting your ideological opponents as "elite" and "out of touch" is a political trick as old as time, it encourages the listener not to engage the subject purportedly supported by the elite, but instead dismiss it out of hand as something no regular man should even bother themselves with.

Bonus points for making them elites in academia who apparently do not know how the "real word" works.
that's a lot of kooks!

Barri Weiss, Matt Taibbbi, Claire Fox, Jordan Peterson, Toby Young, on and on, and mostly just the usual suspects of people who whinge about Free Speech when it's boycotts of their bad ideas or social exclusion for arseholes, but are nearly universally silent on e.g. billionaires harrassing uni students or US governments making you promise not to boycott Israel or suing you for defamation or trying to get you sacked from your job for saying something they disagree with.

most of the notable people on this list could do infinitely more service to the sincere cause of safeguarding free speech by shutting the fuck up a lot more and then sometimes speaking up in support of speech they don't like.
Fully agree. For a long time I was heavily biased against it because of the versions of it I saw, growing up in a conservative religious family and seeing other far more conservative religious families in our church/etc do a very extreme/strict/sheltering form of it- and then becoming non-religious, kept that bias.

But over time I've come to realize that is only one very specific form of 'homeschooling' that is nothing like other forms
Those two first things have sure been tried, over and over as everyone knows. I said the obviousness of banning monero next was separate from whether it's a good idea.
One of the big advantages to the Blackmagic Camera app is that you can shoot Apple Log into an H.265 container rather than ProRes, saving huge amounts of storage space.

It also has far better features for exposure, focus peaking, etc. It's the same UI which is in Blackmagic's actual cameras.
My concern with rural physical implementation is maintenance. Bridge washes out...there goes the connection. Thinks like that.

That said, perhaps that's where most of that $18B is going to go...digging trenches.
I’m sorry for you bad experience, but statistically kids do better when homeschooled. It’s not like public school as some minimal level they’re assured to bring kids up to.
M1 was not a surprise.

After years of waiting for a non-butterfly keyboard, they released a working Intel based MBP, but almost immediately made it worthless by announcing the migration to Arm. They even "rented" prototypes using A12Z chips for developers to use to prepare their apps nearly a year in advance. Hardly a stealth endeavour.
> Why would you add a feature a small fraction of that chip’s users would use when you can use that space for something else?

Because it is a basic feature! I am not asking for the moon here, I have no idea why the idea that a laptop should support more than one external monitor is controversial on this site.

> Open discourse is the central pillar of a free society, and is essential for holding governments accountable, empowering vulnerable groups, and reducing the risk of tyranny.

Have fun hanging out at the Nazi bar then[1]. Don't drag us into it. It turns out, completely unrestricted speech actually has a massive negative effect on open discourse. Which is why we see more and more art, discourse, politics, etc. from marginalized people when we shut Nazis up.

I think excessive and partisan application of censorship is a bad thing. I think a total eradication of limitations on speech is also a bad thing. I think nuance is a great thing :)

I do agree that we need better transparency and oversight on corporate censorship of communication... but I would never suggest that we should stop calling people out for being assholes (a form of free speech which is often ironically touted as censorship by said assholes), nor would I suggest we should allow fascists to inject themselves into every conversation. In the latter case, I actually support censorship of people using speech to do harm to society. Also, I believe fascism is harmful to society - surprisingly controversial among the free speech champions.

I am just thinking if we could have one decent FS across both BSD and Linux. And it would still be better than CDDL.
Well, neither GPT4 or this Phind model where able to answer my torture test:
"Write amaranth code that can be used to control the readout of a frame from a kodak CCD with 4096 columns and 2048 rows."

Which yes, is missing a lot of detail (you could/I have feed/fed in a datasheet).

But Phind goes off on using pyserial (?!), and GPT4 assumes amaranth is a hypothetical CCD control library and makes a useless class control CCD using the hypothetical library.

Edit - Phind at least acknowledged that amaranth exists, unlike GPT4 with this prompt:
"Write amaranth code that can be used to control the readout of a frame from a kodak CCD using an lattice FPGA with 4096 columns and 2048 rows. Assume the design will be hooked up to a larger litex SoC "
And also probably one of the most distinct footprints.
Another curiosity, what do we estimate (if it's even possible) the context window of a human? Obviously an extremely broad question, and of course it must have some sort of decay factor... but... would be interesting to get a rule of thumb number in terms of token count. I can imagine its massive!

If only the depth of our feelings for Emacs counted for more in the market.

There's an argument that music and the arts are dumbed down by the fact that, for instance, making an album worth $10 to millions of people pays way better than making an album worth a million dollars to tens of people, since the album is going to get priced at $10 one way or the other. It only just now occurred to me that the same phenomenon applies to tools.
> Auto-fire is trivial to detect

Tell me you've never worked on an anti-cheat without saying you've never worked on an anti-cheat.....

Why do you even say this if you really don't know it?

In short - you don't want false positives with anti-cheat, you can tolerate some false negatives. Input timings and sequences are impossible to use for this, as button mashers (it's a pseudo-sport) can press buttons at up to 20 times a second - far faster than auto-fire would. Regularity of presses just takes care of the most obvious auto-fire, but once again - there isn't a clear human-robot threshold. And most auto-fire will be far on the human side.

So you normally use a composite or layered approach. If there are enough signals of cheating on layer 1, you do more thorough checks on layer 2, 3, etc. The higher layers can be other players watching replays, ML, behavior-matching, and so on. Layer 1 can be "too lucky" checks, speed checks, ESP (extra-sensory perception/clairvoyance), altered memory, data packet manipulation, suspicious IPs, honey trap code paths/memory locations/impossible game states, skill inconsistencies, stupid values written into obfuscated memory, etc. All of those, by the way, have significant false positives on a large scale. But higher layers are almost always heuristics-based (human or machine), and with high false positives. So all together - not good, not easy.

KM setup is easier to detect as there are certain expectations such a set-up must meet for the user, which are a different set of expectations from a controller. But it's still harder than one might think. Analog triggers can be simulated, noise can be introduced in smooth mouse movement, button presses that aren't feasible on a controller can be disabled on the keyboard, etc. Once again - the issue is with false positives. You don't want to ban a person because they play the game more "cheatey" naturally than the hardware that fakes it.

Tamper-proof hardware with an auth mechanism is a really elegant solution for near 0% false positives. You can't mod a controller if you can't open it.

And I suspect that players wouldn't mind buying such hardware if it put them in authenticated/cheat-free lobbies.

What Microsoft might doing here is a slightly different topic. All I am saying is that anti-cheat is really not what you're saying it is.
