> Like any firm, Apple writes its patents in such a way as to be as broad and even vague as the US Patent Office allows. But rather than just being a way that Apple could later sue anyone for making any ring-shaped smart device, this one goes into detail about use cases.

This is the thing that irks me. Why are people allowed to gatekeep an idea, even if they do not have any plans to actually release a product? In the worst case, a generic/vague patent can block entire classes of devices from appearing for 20 years.

IMHO, if a patent application is submitted, it should be required that the patent holder or a licensee releases a matching product to the market in at least five years, in a way that is accessible to the general public (so no trickery by selling for tens of millions of dollars apiece), or the patent is forfeited.
Ideally a recursive execution would also be a pure function - maybe a better way to put it about current LLMs is that they are a single mathematical expression being built up from a fix number of nodes and only addition and multiplication.
I worked as a sales engineer for a London based company selling trading technology to investment banks in my mid 20s. It was the single best work experience I had as an employee. (I've been doing my own thing starting at 30 which is generally more fun).

My job was to conduct mini integrations of our technology with the customer and to built out feature demos. The format was always similar: The bank would assign somewhere from 6 to 15 people to work on a proof of concept with me. Usually within something they'd refer to as an "innovation lab" - basically a space where the rest of the bank would leave you alone with their processes and concerns.

I'd spent 3-6 weeks with the banks team in a mix of discussion, education, sales and training - including lots of presentations to upper management and decision makers. My job was to get the team's buy-in to the technology, to showcase a concrete, working vision that looked a lot like the finished product (as long as you didn't look to deep under the cover), to help flash out the structure of what would be a very complex solution+product+professional services sale, to build up internal champions and to understand the dynamic among the decision makers.

The actual closing of the deal was then done by a dedicated sales person that looked better in a suit and could drink more than me.

Here's what I loved about the job:

- I got to travel to lot's of interesting locations. Big Banks tend to be in big cities, so I went to Sydney, Singapore, New York, Johannesburg and to lots of places across Europe.

- I got a lot of independence. I usually traveled alone or in teams of up to three. When I needed help or resources I called home, but mostly I just ran my own show and made my own decisions.

- I got to very quickly create things without having to fix bugs, write tests or document anything. Basically, I got to do just the fun parts of programming.

- There was a huge non-technical component. Relationship building, strategy, company dynamics.

- I got to work across a wide range of technologies, programming languages and systems.

As with anything, there where however also downsides:

- The travelling got a bit too much. I basically lived in hotels most of the year. My social contacts back home slowly deteriorated and there was no hope of having a family in this job.

- I like a good night out. But having to entertain drinky clients five out of seven nights in a week gets to you even at twenty.

- I initially was terrified. The technologies where so many and so different that I felt I constantly looked like a clueless fool. The board rooms full of old bank managers with important titles intimidated me. And it took me time to get the finance background.

Bottom line: If you're young, don't have many obligations and enjoy a bit of travelling and social interactions, it's a great choice.

Hope this helped, let me know if I can add details.

I'm 5'10. There's a lot of lifted trucks in my area. I am yet to see one where the edge of the hood would hit me in the face. Apropos of anything else, that's an actual ladder, not even a step ladder to get to things like wiper fluid, let alone engine work.
The best way to handle this (which is really terrible, honestly, but it works) is to make configdrive2 ISOs locally, and upload those using the API. That is, don't give Proxmox a cloud-init snippet, but rather a fully-built cloud-init ISO. This is basically bypassing/reimplementing Proxmox's cloud-init features yourself, which is terrible. But it works really well.

There's a pretty neat Proxmox API library written in Go that can do this all for you: https://github.com/luthermonson/go-proxmox

There's a Terraform plugin planned, as well. Not sure what the status on it is, currently.

I also am slowly working on my own Proxmox CLI, consuming the go-proxmox library: https://github.com/perchnet/gomox

But unfortunately I don't have much software engineering experience, so it's a very slow process... :)
Exactly. YCC is already happening in Japan; it's inevitable here too. The only alternative is outright default, which never happens when the debt is denominated in currency the debtor can print.
why would you want a nontechnical cofounder to do the pm/marketing/bizdev side of things? a nontechnical person might be able to do those things, but technical ignorance or incompetence are not necessary for them, and aren't even assets; they're just less serious drawbacks there than elsewhere

you might genuinely need some nontechnical people in your startup, but if you have some money you can always pay people to come be part of a focus group or user test when that's necessary
> Grammarly is an application that I don't get.

You write like a native speaker, so I'm not surprised. But imagine having a few years of school-German, and then taking a German language job. I'd bet there would be times you'd want a writing assistant, too.

There are also plenty of native English speakers who for whatever reason got a crappy education, and didn't get a lot of writing feedback.

As far as corporate security goes, you are correct, and we ban it. But I get why people want it.

Well, I do see and interact with the ones living in cars, tents, and abandoned buildings -- but you're right, the spectrum of homeless is wide, and I am limiting myself to a specific subset. I'm very well aware that the subset I'm not addressing do exist, though.
> Language Model that puts one token after the other,

The interesting thing about the one-token-at-a-time process in OpenAI transformer LLMs is how the Attention Mechanism is executing ~1600 processes in parallel over the entire context window for each new token generated. So it is dynamically re-evaluating the entire context (including the rules of the game) in relation to the next token at each step.
I'm thinking the same thing. It could be that Grammerly injects it's own loading spinner with the same filename into the HTML.

I wish they tried to simply rename the file instead of remove it.
> OTOH, the existence of an ISO standard with multiple implementations can benefit the portability and longevity of code.

This is true for ISO standards that actually standardize features. Fortran's standard, since F'90, has instead been inventing features, and doing so without prototyping in actual implementations. And without supplying standardized test suites to guide those implementations. The results, in actual practice, have been at best mixed. There are features that are "standard" but not at all portable, due to spotty and divergent implementations, and there are portable features that are not standard. Some features have been in the language for >=20 years without yet appearing in popular compilers.

So yes, standardization (ISO or otherwise) can be a good thing. But it hasn't really been so for Fortran. And I think things are getting worse; F'2023 has changes in it that actually silently change the behavior of existing standard-conforming code, which would have been viewed as an abomination in earlier days.

References: see the LLVM Flang documentation on extensions, non-standard features, &c. in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/flang/docs/Ex... and a suite of various incompatible feature tests in https://github.com/klausler/fortran-wringer-tests .

If you want to continue learning about computer architecture, I would recommend David Harris' and Sarah Harris' book "Digital Design and Computer Architecture", available in MIPS, ARM and RISC V editions.

https://pages.hmc.edu/harris/ddca/

An interesting second book that makes the connection to the software side is Bryant/O'Hallaron "Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective"

https://csapp.cs.cmu.edu

...and, more on the theory side, both books by Hennessy and Patterson ("Computer Architecture: The Hardware/Software Interface" and "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach").

On the OS implementation side, I still like Comer's "Operating System Design: The Xinu Approach" quite a lot. While this book is quite old, I learned OS design from Comer (and am still teaching this at university level 30 years later...).

https://xinu.cs.purdue.edu

A good complement would be Cox/Kaashoek/Morris "xv6: a simple, Unix-like teaching operating system" (free download)

https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.S081/2020/xv6/book-riscv-rev1.p...

A useful addition on OS theory is Remzi and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau's "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces" (also free)

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

If you want to dig into programming languages, I would recommend Cooper/Torczon "Engineering a Compiler" (unfortunately published by Elsevier) and "Crafting Interpreters" by Nystrom (free)

https://shop.elsevier.com/books/engineering-a-compiler/coope...

https://craftinginterpreters.com

Finally, if you're interested in virtualization (system and bytecode level), I can recommend Smith/Nair "Virtual Machines"

https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9781558609105/virtual-mac...

I use many of these books in my courses and recommend them to my students - so far, they seem to like the books:

(My OS course at NTNU) https://multicores.org/tdt4186_22/

(My Compiler Construction course at NTNU) https://multicores.org/tdt4205_21/

I hope this helps a bit. Learning all of this will be quite a challenge but also bring a lot of fun! :)

A 50% discount still sounds like more than an insurance negotiated rate, my insurance paid about 20% of the list price for an MRI. They gave you a ”deal” that was likely more than they’d get from insurance if you had it.

I’ve long believed that cash payers should be charged the lowest negotiated rate for services. It's a scam that insurance companies pay so much less than a cash payer.
Good take. Big companies should suffer so that the regular person can strive and compete. It is clear that big AI companies virtue signal so that they can exploit regulations and become monopolies. In the end the only thing enforcing these laws is government that can only enforce through punishment and ultimately violence, and you can fend that with enough money. AI training will continue to be done illegally and in the gray by both regular parties and those that can pay for the privilege.

Most of the artists I follow draw styles and subjects that can't easily be replicated using AI. Anyone with a refined enough taste should not feel threatened or relieved. The continued technological progress serves those who adapt. What you should fear is surveillance tech.

What are the suggested alternatives for:

- Desktop and mobile (not a web app), with global hotkeys on desktop

- Not self-hosted

- Fast and functional create/edit/search UX

- Basic organization (tags and/or groups)

- Basic formatting (headers and lists)

- Not drowning in features

Doesn't need to be FOSS, and I'm OK with paying depending on how well it works.

Edit: I could also let go of "not self-hosted" if it opens up a stand-out option.

Very curious how the GOP can construe this as anything other than strengthening our adversaries’ information ops. I know it’s a common meme around here to eyeroll about “disinformation,” but the reality is you’d be a goofball to think our adversaries aren’t utilizing our (very open) information ecosystem to further their interests. Of course we do the same to them to whatever extent possible and they combat those efforts to the extent possible, this isn’t a good guy bad guy debate.

The line between “notifying information services of foreign threats” and “coercing information services into specific moderation decisions” is, or can be, somewhat blurry. But this line has always been blurry, which is why there’s 200 years of case law establishing information services’ right to contest such coercion based, essentially, on their own feelings of coercion.

The recent GOP legal threats didn’t stem from that feeling at all — no information services AFAIK have reported feeling coerced. So as it stands in reality today, the GOP is just making the US strictly more vulnerable to information ops because they didn’t like the moderation decisions that private companies made, so far according to those companies, of their own accord.

Well, normal environments cost a lot of money. A shit ton of money. You know how much an 80 square meters apartment costs in Paris? 1 million euro.

Normal people can't afford "normalized environments", let alone handing them to the homeless.

And secondly, have I mentioned that a lot of these people aren't normal? Have you lived in a neighborhood near these mentally ill people? I lived and I moved. I could afford to since I was renting and it wasn't worth having these psychos around. And there was just one of them nearby, let alone having more of them concentrated.

In some ways, ARM and RISC-V are also way less attractive architectures. The level of platform standardization is very small compared to x86. Market penetration (in personal computer market) is still small.

By relying on x86 standardization (BIOS, VESA, ACPI...), KolibriOS can run on pretty much any PC without having to write a lot of platform-specific code. OTOH take some ARM machines - MacBook, PineBook, Raspberry Pi - what do they share in common besides ISA?
No private entity is gonna solve the trillion dollar mess that is the US healthcare system. However, they can completely solve the problem that is people who are almost bankrupt because of medical debt and have that bankruptcy hanging over their heads.

Their ceiling is essentially everyone that is extremely likely to declare bankruptcy because they’re unable to pay the debts. The actual owners of the debt are not gonna get any money back. Even a 3rd party is not likely to buy the debt because the only people who are gonna pay for this debt are charities like this and they aren’t required to do so, so they get to completely set the market rate.

Essentially, you have a lender that’s lent out $100 in medical debt to people who are basically bankrupt and is likely to get no money back.

A 3rd party might gamble that they will probably get $1 back so they may be willing to pay $0.75. However, this charity can offer the lender $1.25 and actually get $0 back because their purpose isn’t to make money (they can also “lose” money). Their purpose is to either prevent someone from going into bankruptcy or removes a huge burden on people who may already have declared bankruptcy.

What actually makes this system work is a properly functioning bankruptcy court. If the bankruptcy court didn’t effectively protect borrowers, then there would be no incentive to sell the debt for so cheap since you could try and extract money out of the borrowers. Alternatively, if the bankruptcy court was easily abused to discharge debt by people who can afford it, then lenders would exit the medical debt industry altogether (or rather, all treatments would end up requiring upfront payment).
This is happening not only in FAANG companies but also a lot (if not, all) of companies. Unless you are in a hyper-growth company, you are more likely to see this kind of performance management process to continuously review and cut.

Oh great, the Tesla Safety report [1]. Can you let me know where in that “exhaustive” report I can find the number of accidents or miles driven used in that calculation? You know, the numerator and denominator? You know, the sort of hard-hitting data reporting expected out of a elementary school science fair project?

Almost like they hide that information like how they demand NHTSA redact all pertinent information from the NHTSA SGO database of ADAS crashes [2] so that the public can not fact check them.

Or like how their telemetry just happened to miss 90% of their confirmed fatal crashes which we only know about due to third party investigations as seen in the NHTSA SGO database.

Or maybe like how around 50% of the crashes Tesla investigates are fatal, but they just choose to leave ~95% uninvestigated as seen in the NHTSA SGO database. They are just worried investigating the crashes they caused will show FSD is too safe.

That report and Tesla’s reporting around FSD are gross, criminal malpractice. Only a sociopathic executive team and company culture would encourage safety reporting that intentionally deceptive.

> IMHO, if a patent application is submitted, it should be required that the patent holder or a licensee releases a matching product to the market in at least five years

This would complete the transition from having patents as a tool available to independent inventors, to being purely for protection of established players. Even today, it's at least theoretically possible for someone to come up with, say, an idea for a new practical high-intensity EUV source, and to get reasonable compensation for developing that idea by licensing it to established industry players. With your proposal, if it would take a non-player more than five years to commercialize an idea (which is true of the vast majority of non-trivial inventions), all the establishment has to do is wait them out and then use the idea license-free in 5 years, instead of 21.

It's perfectly reasonable to disagree with many aspects of the patent system, and I certainly personally believe that eliminating it entirely might be beneficial, but I suspect your proposal would act contrary to your goals.
