> In NYC I walk past preachers at Union Square all the time. I've been called a heretic and a sinner, you just gotta shrug it off.

TBH I'd be totally OK if we de-normalized the passive acceptance of street preachers hurling insults at those who pass by. It feels like they're given a pass because of their "religious" status, while someone acting basically the same but without the religious context stands a good chance of catching a disorderly conduct / disturbing the peace citation.
Non-user-replaceable batteries in phones+laptops should be banned outright.

While people generally won't admit to replacing an entire phone/laptop due to a degraded battery, it's a significant nudge to get people to do just that, with battery replacement being made inconvenient and/or costly.
I'm still reading the fawning biography Going Infinite, and even Michael Lewis thinks there was a lot of "right guy right place right time" involved. Heck, even SBF thought so. Lewis' origin story is that SBF noticed how efficient Jane Street was and how inefficient crypto markets were and assumed that somebody would inevitably bring greater efficiency to crypto, so he thought, "Hey, why can't that somebody be me!?"

Google had marketed several expensive Chromebooks with 8gb. They all worked fine.
you'll grant however that when we were young, it was more of an unknown wild west. Parents didn't know what to make of it or fear, there was generally more freedom afforded. We were the first generation with stupid-easy access to pirated pornography. No one had any idea of health concerns, at best you heard a blanket moral stance that didn't convince anyone.

I think today parents have access to far better means of regulating access, should they so choose, and they're more conscious of it. I'm not saying it's fool-proof, but the overhead is enough to dissuade kids from spending too much time and getting into trouble.

That example is very actually very good one.

It has been known for years that megahertz are a terrible metric to measure CPU performance. The peak of that discussion was during the launch of Pentium 4, where it was proven that the IPC was much worse when comparing to a previous Pentium even though it had a lot more the clock speed.

Seconded. Get out of your office or house and become part of a larger community. Ideally, you will meet the right folks, or meet folks who know the right folks. Networking can really help. People naturally want to help others (for the most part).

Also, completely agree that you need to be prepared to pay folks, unless you are very close with them and they explicitly understand that you haven't raised, and are at an early stage. If you can't pay them, ask for simple advice and ask if you can call on them for help if/when you do raise/have money.

OP - if you don't know what you are looking for, ideally, be comfortable asking what you would think as stupid (or basic) questions. Don't worry, serious and/or good people worth working with or for won't mock you for that. Just because something is second nature to me (a product/sales/marketing person) doesn't mean it's second nature to someone who has a background in finance or systems engineering or whatever. And that's completely OK!!! People love to talk about themselves or their job or their industry, so just learn to ask good questions, no matter how complex or basic.

I myself have been in that situation recently - one of my neighbors has found tremendous success in the area of business I am currently in - so I've been able to pick his brain more than once, and because he knows I'm serious and want his help, he's more than willing to answer any question I have. Find people like this, and yes, be prepared to pay them or offer them equity if/when appropriate.

Why do people insist on reading the absolute worst interpretation of every comment on the internet? Honestly. It is so tiresome.

If I had to pick a favorite philosopher, it would be Nietzsche. No other thinker has influenced me more, and if you spent half a second searching Nietzsche and my username on HN, you’d see that. But if the man were alive today, he’d be writing a blog with 50 subscribers - because that’s about the level of readership he had during his life.

My point was that using Nietzsche as an example of what the philosophy field is like at the public, professional level is not a good example, as the man did most of his work in obscurity to begin with.

> I can't believe that modern computers cost less than a car.

A car weighs around a ton or more, while a modern computer weighs only a few kilograms; I'd expect the raw material costs alone to be enough to make the car much more expensive. And that's before considering that a modern car has several computers in it.

Has it actually accomplished much for the fellows? A few posts up /u/prepend wrote this:

> and does not match the success of Thiel’s programs for generating successful startups (11/900 is a pretty amazing success rate)

That may be an amazing success rate for generating startups, but it would also mean that 98.8% of the startups weren't successful. Was dropping out actually good for the fellows aside from a few? Couldn't many argue that for most of these "smart and ambitious" students it really did fail?

I'm not really taking a position here because I don't think failure alone means something wasn't worth it. Also I haven't followed Thiel's program that much so can't speak to the specifics. But given the numbers in this thread, I certainly wouldn't recommend students drop out.
There is no _one_ reason, and I don't present that particular phenomenon as a causal factor but as a symptom of the greater problem - which certainly includes poverty but is even more closely aligned to the opioid epidemic.

All this is in the context of asking parents to provide their children the guidance required to avoid child-inappropriate content.

My point stands: a large and growing contingent of parents lack the stability/ability/support required to even keep their children's behavior within acceptable boundaries. It's a fool's errand to think keeping kids away from bad actors on the internet can be added to their plate.
You can literally see the mind control they have ITT. Its incredible and scary.
No, I’m not comparing Harris to academic philosophers. I’m speaking in general: there is a class of ideas that aren’t worth anything until they are tried. Because you can’t fully “factor in the real world” in an argument - it’s far too surprising and complex.

Examples include economic theories, military strategies, business plans, and getting people to do anything differently at all. Making these work requires attention-getting, sales, and mass attention, frequently on social media.

Now if someone has a new theory about calculus or the atom, no ordinary person is going to care and no external factors are involved, and that idea stands alone from its implementation.

It's an impressive accomplishment and obviously kind of a marvel that this is what he feels called to do. Only respect for the man and his activism.

But I hate the tone that often emerges when this is brought up or referenced, especially common since 2020. As if Davis's approach is the correct way for black people to address the racism of white people, contrasted against the "wrong" ways like BLM protests and organized direct action.

The man put himself in significant danger over many years. For impressive and personally meaningful but ultimately very small scale victories. That can't be the standard we expect from black activists. White racism is a problem white people are obligated to solve. If you are are white it is your role to be doing this, don't make a black man do it for you.
Well, sure, but it's obviously brand dilution too. Pros now know Pro doesn't mean much, and so it's premium is wearing off. It's short-termism.
The problem is those prices are wrong; they are pricing the hard thing.

Renewable sells when it wants to, for dirt cheap. And they don't sell when they don't want to. At that point, today, typically natural gas picks up the ball. Other storage is as much in its infancy as SMRs, as is "demand response".

The pricing people compare so favorably isn't pure renewables, it's that renewables + fall back fossil mix.
> They are greedy, and instead of having a thriving business, they are making the exact same mistake as cable TV providers:

How are they supposed to have a thriving business with no ads?

Why would anyone pay for YouTube if not to remove the ads?

The videos that get the most views only exist because YouTube shares ad revenue with creators. That content largely wouldn't exist without ad money to fund it.

The cost to run YouTube is enormous.
You mean an example of rolling shutter issues.
> Because SMS sucks big time:

Let's look at these:

> limited characters

True, however for quite some time now smart phones have handled this just fine or worst case you would get multiple messages with "1/2" or whatever. With threads this is a non issue.

> cannot send videos, cannot send images

While technically true, MMS fixed that was was a standard that just expanded on SMS.

> cannot do groups.

I have done plenty of SMS groups with android users so that clearly isn't true and is achievable with software.

> it was charged by message

While true, Unlimted texting (at least in the US) was a fairly normal thing before smart phones so I consider that more a carrier problem than a SMS problem and since that predated apps in the first place I don't think its a valid argument.

> the interface really sucked.

I mean considering even iMessage still just uses the same interface. So is the really a SMS problem? RCS and iMessage just add a couple nice to have but far from required features (and in some cases like stickers ANNOYING FEATURES) so if you think the interface sucks for SMS are we really fixing it with RCS or iMessage? It doesn't seem like it.

Apple is well known for their extremely optimized software due to their tight integration with hardware and software. This would make sense to keep it 8GB for Apple-only software idealistically. Realistically, those modern software are not optimized for any OS. I had MBA M1 4GB, it wasn't enough. I imagine macOS put memory compression to constant heavy use and swap.
This would be the final, ultimate form of Copilot if I had my way with it.

I think that might be an error in the product photo- the 61TP/9 would have 5 octaves. These would also be full-size keys, I'm not sure if there are OEM kits for smaller keys - maybe Microkorg or Minilogue replacement keybeds could be good for that?
This is a great read. It takes an open mind to appreciate it. I have not read stuff like this since the 90's. I am sure there is plenty of it out there; I just have not had it pop up in a feed. The writer is being open-minded and brave. And #1, there does not feel like there is any political narrative. It does not feel like they are trying to force some train of thought on the reader... there is, dare I say, an appreciation for the intelligence and open-mindedness of the reader.

I'm in the US. Our neighborhood has a multi-slot locker like you describe. It has a small box per house and two larger boxes. The whole thing gets broken in to every couple years, after which the post office will not deliver anything until they fix it weeks later (and they're the only ones allowed to try).

When this happens you have to go to a post office to get your mail.

My advice would be to find advisors who are experts in these skills and have them screen for them, while you do everything else. Pay them for their time in cash or options. Make sure to hire senior level people first and then have them screen for these skills in subsequent hires going forward.

Finding external recruiters that are able to screen for these skills is another option, but such recruiters are few and far between and their interests may not be aligned with yours.

At Toughbyte we do tech recruitment and have helped early stage startups hire CTOs on a few occasions where I have been the one assessing their tech skills and culture fit, but this isn't something that I have yet figured out how to delegate properly to other team members.

When it comes to assessing tech skills, this blog post I wrote is worth a read: https://www.toughbyte.com/blog/how-to-effectively-assess-cod...

Every story? Now there's a false title. _Project Lawful_ for example has a sufficiently complex plot with enough opposed character perspectives that you'd have to really work to hammer it into this pigeonhole. Maybe one particular character arc could be said to have this structure.

More generally, any story that changes between character perspectives and evolves in who holds narrative force will have a hard time being analyzed this way.

Well, I didn't want to dismiss or minimize the importance of bureaucracy and certification, as I myself have been involved in FDA and CE certification.

Thing is, not familiar with rust and that certification, I didn't know how much "based on rustc" means. So I didn't know of the certification was more like "legal process and support" or something like "formal verification" or the like.
> If terrorists didn't kill thousands of Americans on 9/11, those wars don't happen, so you'd have to say 9/11 started it.

The narrative to push the war on Iraq largely also revolved around "WMDs" while the legality of the war still remains debatable.

> Ironically, the world had less combat deaths worldwide than ever during those two wars

I wouldn't measure peace just by number of deaths, but even if we were to do so, it is also worth taking into account the increased security measures and the less freedom we have to prevent deaths.

The anything goes / mass surveillance dichotomy is false. It is possible to have small-scale, individually-moderated websites, if the software to host them is available and easy to run, without sacrificing privacy (or even accountability). Pseudonymity is usually good enough, especially for things like Omegle.

Unfortunately, that requires a return to the days when most people's primary computing device was capable of acting as a web server, and computer literacy implied empowerment: that might be tricky, but if we work hard enough I'm sure we can get there.

I wonder if this explains cafes in Britain? They just don’t work quite right in the UK. Cafes end up being more like tea rooms, and pubs seem to fill the role of ‘place to meet friends, grab foot and a beverage’.

I tend to agree. For-profit companies can only argue against consumerism as a marketing strategy. But Fairphone has been consistently putting this topic on the table and raising awareness anyways, and they have created more sustainable supply chain options that other companies could now also use.
> 1/30th of a second is actually a relatively long exposure for a photo.

As an aside, in video & motion picture cameras the frame rate isn’t the exposure length. You need to account for the time the shutter is closed. So the real exposure is about 1/60, still slow but much more manageable.
In some ways, but in relatively different ways. Hitler played the charismatic warrior figure; Stalin wrote books and tried to talk like a scholar (whilst promoting the likes of Lysenko).
The landscape is not the same as it was.

Previously Google was not a monopoly in so many areas. Now the Internet goes through Google. It caters to investors, not to users. It controls search engine, and a browser, and phones. It can decide what is happening on client side, and on search server side.

The wild west of the Internet has ended. We have the corporate Internet now, that is surveilled and scanned, and they became quite efficient with that.

Previously you could find pirate links through Google, this has ended. You could run pirate software, but software more and more ask OS for approval to be executed. Android will scan sideloaded apps for example.

While environment becomes safer, it also becomes more controlled by corporations. Piracy eventually will be very hard to do. All blockades can be broken, but there more and more of them.

Thanks; never heard of him before. according to that wikipedia link, Scruton says:

"No proof is clearly stated or examined, and the jargon of set theory is waved like a magician's wand, to give authority to bursts of all but unintelligible metaphysics."

That seems to be exactly what Sokal was parodying.

I have very little time for what the French have been referring to as "philosophy" since roughly 1970. It's a sort of overproof bollocks.
Though this is exactly what happened.
The initial test was ran on a model that "Cheated" (aka has memorized the answers).
The second test was run on a model that didn't "Cheat" as much, yet still got only 2% less score.
So, the question is not resolved really. How much did the first model cheat, and how much did the second?
If the second model "cheats" less, then it wins.

Also, I don't understand your obsession with the word cheating.
If you have solved a problem before on a different website and solve it again, did you cheat? Or did you just use your brain to store the solution for later?
I have similar conclusions so far. We have a custom data set (basically visual Q&A about web apps) and `gpt4` gets roughly 90% correct, while `gpt-4-1106-preview` only 86%. It's a little noisy (I didn't yet check out the new seeds functionality), but roughly consistent.

Since I created this dataset by hand, it can't really be memorized. I'm sure there's _similar_ data in the training set, but answering correctly still requires some reasoning-like capabilities.
