> Actual antisemitic content or alleged antisemitic

Actual antisemitic content. I can’t say Musk is an anti-Semite. But he repeatedly—and increasingly—promotes and now even says antisemitic things.

I have yet to see him sincerely apologise for preaching an anti-Semitic take on replacement theory as “the truth.” He apologised for being unclear, which just raises the question what he meant by that tweet.
Corollary: you do not need a non-technical co-founder.

My advice to engineers is that it's nearly always easier to learn business/sales than to learn to like a co-founder, especially the type generally drawn to being a "business" founder.

It is good to have a co-founder in general though, get one of those if you can. Just don't worry about finding complementary skills, bias entirely towards someone you can work with.
You also have much more room as a bike. If I'm passing someone going uphill, and I don't have enough power to finish the pass on the hill, I have another 8 feet of lateral buffer versus a car before they would come dangerously close to me.

I'm not saying you should hang out next to cars all the time, but it's better than in a car, where you might have 3 feet of buffer.
Thanks for that. I was wondering how paste was useful enough to be included based on the article. I’ve spent my share of time in shells but haven’t ever encountered paste as far as I remember.
Typically stories I hear where technical people maintained equity it was through a lot of maneuvering. It wasn't given to them by the merits of their accomplishments.

Had similar situations with PayPal and Uber recently where their support have absolutely no information or ability to take a decision.

Support essentially becomes a glorified text-to-speech system.

There are custom instructions that effectively get around this:

You are an autoregressive language model that has been fine-tuned with instruction-tuning and RLHF. You carefully provide accurate, factual, thoughtful, nuanced answers, and are brilliant at reasoning. If you think there might not be a correct answer, you say so.

Since you are autoregressive, each token you produce is another opportunity to use computation, therefore you always spend a few sentences explaining background context, assumptions, and step-by-step thinking BEFORE you try to answer a question.

Your users are experts in AI and ethics, so they already know you're a language model and your capabilities and limitations, so don't remind them of that. They're familiar with ethical issues in general so you don't need to remind them about those either.

Don't be verbose in your answers, keep them short, but do provide details and examples where it might help the explanation. When showing code, minimize vertical space.

I'm hesitant to share it because it works so well, and I don't want OpenAI to cripple it. But, for the HN crowd...
Fair point. That makes sense :)
I mean, this is largely true in software engineering in general. Programming is easy. Perhaps being an excellent programmer is much harder but for many things being mediocre is good enough.

The hard part is building things sustainably at scale (people wise or performance wise). That's when a combination of knowing how to manage systemic complexity and knowing how to communicate very well (soft skills) really come into play.
Google provides symbols for Chrome release builds, including source indexing so source code should be available. See sections symbol server and source indexing at https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/debugging-on-win...
Changing clocks only makes sense (to the little it does) in middle latitudes when there is a decent amount of both light and dark in a day in the worse case, as you can shift things around to use the light better (maybe). When there are only a couple hours of light/dark in the day it doesn't mater what the clocks do, you can't really do anything different.
Highway is a step to the right direction, but more difficult to use compared to ISPC - e.g. handling remainders is mostly manual and somewhat error-prone.
This is true for any compressible fluid. Work = -pressure * delta_volume. That amount of energy is why there are different standards for stress-testing something like a pipe, depending on the medium it's carrying. Occasionally you'll see an engineer or technician stress test a pipe carrying a compressible gas similar to one carrying a liquid. I can't remember the exact ASTM standards, but I think a compressed fluid should be tested to around 110% rated pressure and an incompressible fluid at 150%. If they use the wrong one on a compressible fluid, it's putting a lot more energy in the system. If it fails, it can be a bad day.
Very nearly no poets ever made a living as poets. Most artists never made a living as artists, either.

As an artist friend of mine once said: nobody chooses to be an artist. You become an artist because there's something inside you that will drive you crazy if you don't get it out.
Depends on the bike, but usually a little less stopping power at lower speeds. Above 45mph or so, it's a wash. Bigger bikes also stop slower.
The idea didn't spring fully formed from SGI. It was a natural extension of 2D graphics accelerators which were initially used for engineering (high value, small market) and later for business applications generally and games (lower value, large markets). 3D acceleration took the exact same path, but the utility for gaming was much higher than the general business utility.

Of course graphics hardware was also used for more creative purposes including desktop publishing, special effects for TV, and digital art, so you will find some people in those communities vaguely wishing for something better, but artistic creation, even for commercial purpose, was never the market driver of 3D acceleration. Games were. The hardware was designed for gamers first, game programmers second, game artists a distant third, and for nobody else.

The closest thing to an "art computer" around that time was the Amiga which targeted the design/audio/video production markets.
you're lucky, it is 3:30pm in Finland. Dusk at 3pm. Up north it is even worse, although they've got the Borealis and usually snow.
Oh boy, where do I even start. Maybe with this one:

I am preparing for my Kubernetes exam. You are an examiner who asks me questions on Kubernetes and grades my answers, correcting me if necessary. Your each answer should end with the next question for me. Start with the first question.
I do the opposite. I buy a bag of green ones, and put them in the fridge. They stay green for a while in there but do start to slowly ripen. Before I put them in the fridge on day 0, I put one on the counter, and one in a brown bag. The brown bag is for day 2, the one on the counter is for day 3 (there is no day 1 after day 0, at first). On day 2, when I take the ripe one out of the bag, I take another out of the fridge and put it on the counter for day 4, and continue this process. When I take the last one out of the fridge, I have another bag ready to go in. With the right timing, this provides a perfectly ripe avocado per day.

And for storing a cut avocado, the press & seal plastic wrap works wonders. The trick is to not let air touch the exposed bit. If it does, then just slicing a thin slice off the top exposes the green part again. (This also works for frozen loaves of bread that have been cut - just a thin slice off the end gets rid of the bit that was destroyed by ice.)

My memoirs will include all my food storage tips for the perpetually single.
I generally agree but if you're developing a product for a niche industry and that non-technical co-founder has a shit ton of insight and connections, it will 1000% open doors. Then again, perhaps you can partner with those folks in other ways vs giving away 50% equity.
> It's better to have longer darkness after the masses are RESTED (in the morning), opposed to when they're TIRED (in the evening)

Speak for yourself! I am definitely sleepier in the morning, and definitely feel less safe driving in the morning.

I prefer summer time, because I almost never wake up before dawn, but for most people, I think DST is actually the best. You generally want people to wake up at around sunrise. It means we could adjust office hours to sunrise, say, work starts 1h30 after sunrise and ends 10h after sunrise. Nice, but it would be a mess. Instead we are using clocks, but the problem becomes that during winter, you will wake up and even sometimes start to work at night, something that most people dislike, and during the summer, morning daylight is lost to sleep. So, how to fix the problem?
DST of course. It is an approximation, but it means that as a whole, our lives more closely match the sun cycles.

So that's my opinion, keep the DST. It is added complexity compared to no DST, but we have been doing that for decades, we know how to deal with it. And while many people want to abolish DST, about half want winter time, the other half want summer time, there is no consensus, so we might as well keep DST.
> typically technical people are progressively marginalized as the business grows

I know three YC technical co-founders who were ousted by their CEOs, and a justintv alumn who got nothing from the follow-on exits. When YC says “you need a technical co-founder” they mean it like you need a disposable lawyer. The essay here is about targeting growth and flipping, not high-performance teamwork.
You hit the nail on the head with complimentary piece - and extending that to personality as well.

You need a mix of technical skills (engineering, product, marketing, etc) but also personalities (which manifest in different behaviors which are all useful & compliment each other - eg bias for action and hitting targets vs careful analysis).

Yes! The obvious answer is to just increase your positions and train for that. This requires a ton of memory however (context length is squared) so most are currently training at 4k/8k and then finetuning higher similar to many of the image models.

However there's been some work that to "get extra milage" out of the current models so-to speak with rotary positions and a few other tricks. These in combination with finetuning is the current method many are using at the moment IIRC.

Here's a decent overview https://aman.ai/primers/ai/context-length-extension/

Rope - https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.15595

Yarn (based on rope) - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.00071.pdf

LongLoRA - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.12307.pdf

The bottleneck is quickly going to be inference. Since the current transformer models need the context length ^2, the memory requirements go up very quickly. IIRC a 4090 can _barely_ fit a 4bit 30B model in memory with 4096k context length.

From my understanding some form of RNNs are likely to be the next step for longer context. See RWKV as an example of a decent RNN https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13048
There are many readily available technical solutions to limit danger from cars and drivers. The problem is that there is zero political will to do so. I think mainly because of car manufacturers playing this on two fronts: bribing or blackmailing politicians (think what happens to economy if we don't sell faster, bigger, stupider cars!) and influencing pop culture - driving a car in irresponsible manner is still seen as cool and manly thing to do. It's cigarettes all over again and it will take a monumental effort to change it.
Many drivers in the United States rarely—if ever—use walking as anything other than for getting from their vehicle to their destination.

> Ultrasound can also be used to estimate neural activity within brain regions by measuring local changes in blood flow via the doppler effect

I don't know much about how their stimulation is supposed to work, but I do know quite a lot about ultrasonic imaging and I can tell you this is not going to get you the neural interface that people really want. It's going to get you slightly better "think really hard and the drone flies!" toys.
Why would you even use number of characters?

A better criteria is: what fraction of people does it stop from visiting the source (because they got the information they were looking for from the summary). Yes, yes that system has it's own problems, but it is more holistic that string.length().
ABS on bikes has largely erased the difference.
I am developer who spend 2 decades developing things. First decade it was hardware and now I moved to software. I can always guess which idea from “idea person” will work and which is not technically feasible. In my limited experience the “idea persons” are not really listening why stuff does not work. Sometimes simple laws of physics are ignored.
I feel like that could backfire since "scabbing" would be really easy, especially for less scrupulous news organizations more strongly tied to corporate or political interests than actual news reporting.

Basically while Reuters or AP are "on strike", Drudge Report, Jacobin, or Fox News would step in and become the de facto news sources across all of social media.
This is more likely to be true where you are selling to other technical people. But it becomes much less likely to be true when you are selling B2C, or to non-technical businesspeople. And of course, the ability of a technical person to learn sales varies quite a bit. Some technical folks pick it up easily, but others do not (or find important non-technical bits like fundraising and sales to be very distasteful/annoying).
I really wish I'd read this 25 years ago, but probably I wouldn't have believed any of it.
So wait what's your logic here -- if a person promotes racist content but it's totally a whoopsie and they didn't mean it, the content is no longer racist and we have to prepend it with "alleged" like it's legally defined?

Watching dozens and dozens of hours of SWUB made me come to the sad conclusion that a sizeable portion of the homeless population (at least in LA), simply just prefer a life of getting high and living on the street.

Good link. Some politicians really use it and seem to get away with it. It is amazing how many people fall for it. If they knew about DARVO maybe they wouldn't.

So you do not have need of innovation?

Usually a company with software need to develop new features, reengineering to reduce infrastructure costs and improving performance bottlenecks, maintenance, etc. Do not you have that in your company? And if you do, who is leading those initiatives?

>> AI is not reproducing it any more than someone inspired by it creating something new in the same style would be.

> This argument implies that AI scientists have replicated the human mind.

No, MightyBuzzard was not necessarily making an argument about the way the human mind is. Suppose that an AI model is prompted to make an image in X artist's style, and a human is commissioned to make an image in the same X artist's style. The result from the AI model cannot be ex-ante assumed to be more of a reproduction of X artist's actual works than is the result from the human. What matters first is the actual similarity of the new works to one or more old works. The method of creation of the new work comes second. If the style of the new work is similar to the style of the old work but the new work is not actually substantially similar to any of the old works, then the method of creation doesn't matter.

From an article about the substantial similarity test in the US [1]:

> To win a claim of copyright infringement in civil or criminal court, a plaintiff must show he or she owns a valid copyright, the defendant actually copied the work, and the level of copying amounts to misappropriation.[1][3]

The key phrase is "the work". An actual work, not a style.

Years ago I asked my brother, who's been working in software with major big-brand companies for decades, Why are water facilities and power plants connected to the internet? Because they want to save the money to have a certain number of people on-prem? He just shrugged.

Thinking you can be both online and secure from hacking is hubris. If you are a public utility—water, electricity, health—I feel more and more that it's plain irresponsible.

Maybe it’s because Grammarly enables full accessibility support in Chrome to be able to access all elements in the browser (similar to a screen reader). This has caused me various issues in the past (e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=136448... ). However it’s probably good that the Accessibility functions get more exposure due to this.
It works, but anytime you have custom networking or more complex cloud-init configs, you'll have to go into "snippets" territory or referring to files in a local filesystem of the host. They don't have API support for making snippets the last time I checked. Where I ran into this was when trying to set up hosts with Terraform on Proxmox VE (which works well itself too).
I'm currently the technical guy and would love to learn how to also be the business guy - what do I need to do to develop those skills?

Getting your hands dirty is the best way to learn anyhting, so with technical topics, especially programming, I would just dive into projects and start coding, building things, and that's how I learned. In terms of business skills, what projects can I realistically undertake on my own that would help me develop those skills? Should I start a low-stakes business selling soap on Etsy or something? Is that adequate? Completely different ballgame from the corporate startup world - but would any of the skills from such a humble venture transfer to the larger stakes ones?

How might a technical guy become the business guy?
Honest question: Why can't this person be employee #(single digit), SVP of sales or something, hired during product development? Why the need to elevate to co-founder? Does an introverted technical founder really need an extraverted non-tech networking expert from day one?
The first non-founder employees of a company usually end up with the worst deal financially.

Take that into account if you're the technical guy working for the startup.

I don't really care any longer having a pretty flexible schedule and no commute. But living in relatively northern New England, the timezone tweaks for summer and winter really were pretty welcome.

I find postfix is super easy and intuitive to configure. Still have nightmares of maintaining sendmail systems in the 90s.

Exim seemed ok from the times I've used it but I use postfix now everywhere. Feels like it has the best combination of wide support and excellent documentation, good maintenance and being widely used.

If you need drop-in compatibility with grep, then use grep. :-)
Yes. So much easier to reuse other common helper functions. Once you’ve finished exploration you can just copy the code into production instead of translating.
That's unfair: isn't this is exactly how most strange bugs get "fixed" by most companies?

It is an abnormal developer and an even more abnormal business that actually spends enough time to find the root cause of outré glitches. Especially when you start having to debug complex third party systems to debug them properly - requires skills and motivation plus a company that will encourage a developer to do that.

The story is not specific to Gusto - it is the story of every developers life. I have chased down bugs in my OS and my browser - it is rarely well rewarded! Fixing a compiler bug should be on my bucket list! A long time ago I worked around a compiler bug by inserting a label: (I think the label prevented certain optimisations where the label was put).
The first stages are just sales. You're just trying to find something people will buy and that means a lot of people time.
