Like many in here I making the leap to founding a startup.

Unlike many in here I have no delusions of 20bn exits, much less 20mm exits, hell not even a 200k personal ROI.

But one point I am not willing to negotiate on is physical presence in the same working area.

The startup will crash and burn and cost me time and money but while it's still standing I shall be the leader of a wolf pack and in the trenches with my soldiers.

If I can't find a group of equally stoked individuals ready to match and amplify my energy I think I'd give up the startup idea entirely and move to South America to buy a Series D Football Club instead.

At least footballers are quite the stoked bunch and it's impossible for them to claim that they can WFH.
> How do you guarantee the same value we get out of IP, without IP?

I guarantee you nothing. There are alternative business models that don't require artificial scarcity. Returns are not guaranteed.

> OR, how do you propose we get along without the value that we get out of IP?

I propose we don't.

It's just information, numbers. Therefore you can just input it all into stable diffusion models and LLMs and generate an infinite number of similar enough numbers at negligible costs. And there's nothing anyone can do about it short of tyranny the likes of which this world has never seen. And even then it's doubtful it's gonna work.

It's just information, numbers. Therefore you can copy and transmit it with no limits and with complete impunity. The only success they had at stopping it was making it easier not to infringe copyright but their greed destroyed even that. Doesn't matter how many billions they invest into DRM, copyright infringement still happens at scale literally every day. Copyright infringement is natural, it's how people think. It happens every single time someone right clicks and saves a picture off a website, every single time someone makes a little meme. And there's virtually nothing they can do about it short of destroying the internet as we know it.

How's that for relevance?

The only ones who are "whinging" about anything here are these dinosaurs. They're the ones who are irrelevant. They are so absolutely and thoroughly irrelevant they need government intervention, literal government granted monopolies, in order to not be completely and utterly wiped out by technology. They're sacrificing computing, everything we love, so that they can continue their rent seeking with centuries-long monopolies on bits. All I'm saying is we should sacrifice them instead. And let the chips fall where they may.

15 of 16 uncles were in the military. There is a lot of great philosophy from that era but I think those writers were the only people who had the luxury of giving their internal monologue more than a few minutes.

In one job there was a window overlooking a grass field. Every week the guy would be riding the mower for a couple hours rocking out on his headphones.

There’d always be one or two guys staring out the window, enviously watching him.

Right. A common analogy is the dough for a loaf of raisin bread. Consider the raisins on the surface of the dough. Pick one raisin to be your point of view (analogous to Earth, in this case). If the dough rises and expands from (say) 50 cm to 100 cm in diameter, another raisin adjacent the "Earth" raisin won't move very much, but the distance to a raisin at the diametrically opposed point will increase from about 78 cm to about 157 cm. The distant raisin will thus appear to be moving at a higher velocity than the adjacent raisin.

I think there's probably a bunch of people who don't use things like A1111 because of the complexities of the download-this-which-downloads-this-which-downloads-this-then-you-manually-download-this-and-this setup model.

I can see how something simpler might appeal to new users, even if it doesn't appeal to existing users.

I find some problems of AoC are sometimes on the thin line between "it's interesting and I might learn something new" vs "wasting my time with under-specified or ambiguous problem specs".. Part 2 of Day 1 lies dangerously in the latter, for me.

Neat. How translatable are tones of voice for intent across languages? Like does a person trying to do a "nerdy" voice(nasally, whiny, etc.) in English translate to the "nerdy" stereotype for a French speaker. Seems to do very good on whispers which made me wonder what could be next.
Doesn't sound like we disagree that much. You are actually available, but not all things are urgent. I'd say the difference at my workplace is that pieces of the product are extremely old, developed under different architectures with different technologies under multiple management regimes of varying quality. There's a lot of tribal knowledge, so everything is kind of urgent by default as someone new to a specific piece of code can't move forward efficiently without picking the relevant SME's brain. Forbidding interruptions would be akin to mandating "only the SMEs can work, and the rest of you need to waste money twiddling your thumbs or banging your head against obscure legacy code until they feel like helping you". Most of the time when I'm interrupted it's because someone's blocked and I have the knowledge to unblock them, or I can at least point them to who does, so my loss of flow state is their gaining the ability to move forward at all, and everyone benefits.

By contrast it sounds like you guys designed your product around maximizing the impact of flow states and minimizing the need for interruption. I bet you have good documentation too. I'm honestly jealous, it would take tens of millions and years of re-writes to do the same here, and our prime customer wouldn't be willing to accept the delay even if we had the funding.
> leave their desks and hopefully find a free conference room

I've spent the last 20 years or so working for large conglomerates that have multiple satellite offices in different continents so huddles were always on zoom anyway. But they're still insisting on RTO.
Our company had ~100 people before covid. During covid, we grew to ~700 people. All of which were hired to work remotely. The office was designed for no more than 160 employees, so we can't go back even if we wanted to. And we have people working all over the world.

The company gets acquired by a fortune 100 that does not do remote work. Now let's see how this one goes...

Probably the same reason that grocery store shelves and circulars show the price with a loyalty card more prominently than the price without a loyalty card: since most people will end up paying that, it's a better number to use when comparison shopping against stores that don't have a loyalty card. Granted, it only works well for comparison shopping if other loyalty card retailers follow suit (highlighting the discounted price that has minor strings attached) but they all do; therefore so long as other EV makers also do this same thing, it works.

I used to work at a company that sold SaaS to big corporations.

We needed to win contracts, so we needed to tick their checkboxes, but we also cared for the user experience (good UX was almost never a strict requirement from our customer).

Our competitors' software was very painful to use, so we wanted to differentiate in this regard.

This made our own lives easier as the training was easier, the users we interacted with (that usually had no say in whether our solution was bought to them or our competitors') were happier and recommended to their managers (where they could) buying more stuff from us.

In the end this was 80% driven by pride (our software doesn't suck) and empathy (I couldn't stand using the software if it was as bad as our competitors') but to some extent this was also in our interest (especially in the long term, where your brand is built).

What's really sad is that not having overloading "ON" by default is a good idea, but it doesn't mean that language has to stop there, it's really simple to have a small language feature which would say that

a #everything_until_the_next_space b is rewritten in #everything_until_the_next_space(a,b)

So you'd have:

-a #foo b #foo c is foo(foo(a,b),c)

-a #foo b #bar c is forbidden, use parenthesis.

-and maybe #: for the inverse composition where
a #:foo b #:foo c is foo(a, foo(b,c))

It's explicit, no hidden overloading, yet it's "short" enough to be usable: (a #* b) #+ c isn't that much worse than a*b+c and is much more readable than madd(mmul(a,b),c)..

If there is no implicit conversion name clashes shouldn't be too bad (both #+ could be usable for matrix and for graphic libraries).
> And yet, no organization has come to dominate the world. Why would an AI?

Depends how smart, how many instances are running, and if those instances are aligned with each other.

And if you count the British empire as world domination. (It wasn't in charge everywhere, but it was dominant; two AI empires fighting each other in the same way the British Empire fought its peers still isn't good for the rest of us).

A fully general IQ 100 AI on commodity hardware radically changes the world economy, and yet isn't likely to make many breakthroughs. An army of robots guided by an equal number of such minds could well be on par with a human army of similar number and let a dictator fight a brutal war — even a smaller army in the form of assassin bots (which don't have to be humanoid, you can have an explosive kamikaze pigeon) is a radical change to combat on both a nation state level and also for non-governmental actors (organised crime, terrorism, vigilantes, paramilitaries, police, private security).

But there are also potential surprise failures modes. A group of replicated minds, no matter how smart, are going to have correlated failures. Figure out how to make one of those soldiers surrender, you know how to make all of them surrender. Make them smarter and have them do R&D or science, instead of bouncing ideas off each other, they all get stuck at the same place. You'll speed up research, but it won't look like an unbounded number of skilled researchers, it will look like one researcher with unbounded time.

(Not that I'm expecting IQ to generalise from humans to AI. Hasn't done so far, after all).

Also, an AI with no qualia which is really good at only one thing might become dominant just because what it does plays into a prisoners' dilemma where humans defect often enough ("enough" being a standard which depends on the details, e.g. we don't need many humans choosing to release CFCs to cause environmental issues).
Full code audit, exhaustive testing. This is not toy stuff.
Yes, nougat is used as part of the pipeline to convert the equations (basically marker detects the equations then passes those regions to nougat). It's a great model for this.
I am a recent banjo player (about 2 months). I've played the guitar for years and suddenly got the urge to pick up the banjo. Needless to say, I got a few weird looks. Some tech guy in SF playing the banjo, what?

Anyways, there are a lot of folks players that live in my neighborhood and play at the local bar, maybe that had some influence on it. The banjo is a beautiful instrument and it's just so fun to play! I've been learning clawhammer and I find it a complete joy.

NHS Palantir Legal Challenge
You hit the nail on the head when you said it's good marketing, but go all the way. The thing you find odd tells you who they want to use their product; You're not their target audience. They are trying to convert people from using online-only services like Dall-E, not people who already use SD.
That aligns with my (admittedly anecdotal) views as well. I wonder if thats part of why so many managers and leaders feel lost without in-office culture. Most organizations are not good at that kind of explicit communication and organization, and remote work magnifies those flaws. So instead of trying to reduce ambiguity and improve the process accordingly, they instead just wish people could come back to the office and absorb that inefficiency.

And I'm just talking here about dysfunctional organizations, there are plenty of valid reasons for a functional organization to need in-office culture if they need to work through "legitimate" ambiguity (like designing a new technology or product).

Thanks for the link, I haven't come across SymmetricDS before. The list of supported databases is impressive.

It appears to be primarily aimed at server-to-server replication. It does support Android and iOS, but I don't see much documentation on that. Do you know if it works in practice to implement offline-first applications?
> This is exactly the tradeoff, right?

But you're also expected to meet your weekly "commitments" in JIRA - which means you're going to be working nights and weekends to do the work you're supposed to be doing since you were interrupted all day to do the work other people were supposed to be doing.

But you're right, this _is_ the tradeoff, and it's by design, since you're "exempt".

That's not what the RTO proponents bring forward. A sincere "I prefer you to be here so that I can admire my kingdom and feel good" would be more productive than the currently preferred grasping for straws on why it's better for the bottom line:

Everybody gets a good laugh, and returns to their tasks, or coffee chats, or whatever it is that they were doing, where ever they were doing it.
Interestingly I see divides like that in the fully remote parts of my org, so I think it may be more related to what those teams work on rather than work style.

In fact our in-person teams have the opposite reputation: they are slow but theoretically work on high business value problems, while the remote hive mind takes care of business in the background.

Did you comment on the right thread?

None of the examples have people in their underwear.

Instead, it is regular people, and animated characters, doing tiktok dances.

Not sure why you are equating this to sexual content. Its simply trendy/viral content. Nothing sexual about it.

Dancing, and animated characters, are a great way of showing off what the technology is capable of.

Research has a return on investment. E.g., I wonder how many military technologies originated from US private universities?

Conservatives: We shouldn’t send tax dollars to woke private universities who are biased against conservatives.

If we’re going to be this pedantic about it: iPhone’s camera will not add or remove things that weren’t captured in its temporal window. It won’t change the semantic meaning of an image. It won’t make a sad face person look happy, make daytime look like nighttime, or change dogs into cats. It can make mistakes like from the OP, but the point is that Apple also sees this as a mistake, so I would expect the error rate to improve over time. This is a different approach from other computational photography apps, like Google’s, where it looks like they are more willing to push the boundaries into fantasy images. Apple’s approach seems to be more grounded, like they simply want to get great pro DSLR level images automatically.

For me it was a lack of specific instructions on how to handle overlaps. The edge case that frustrated me for a while was "oneight" at the end of a line. My initial code made it look like this "1ight", when it should have been "18".
I'd actually welcome it if the leaderboard was abolished. I never really played for placement, but something about the fact that the board was full of people who routinely solve every problem in about the same time it takes me to even READ the description was a bit demotivating. I always felt this racing aspect to be somewhat at odds with the idea that this is a challenge that you can complete in your own time, maybe even on weekends, and at the end be proud that you even made it.
I wonder if the hotel uses an incoming-fax-to-email system.
Can any electromagnetic (?) engineers here speak to the difficulties in creating these chips/antennas? Surprising to hear about Apple possibly failing at an engineering project for something that already exists, given their resources and access to talent. If true, could it be difficulty in creating new tech that gets around existing patents? Trying to achieve current results with less power? Unable to compete with the economics of just buying existing tech from competitors?
In a way our societies are already super intelligences, honed by natural selection and with their own incentives working on top of, and not necessarily aligned with, the desires of each of its constituent human apes. AI will just seamlessly blend into that, I think.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Shopify.

I'm sorry but if it's software related, I don't get going into the office at all. My entire experience before was one of mostly depression at work because I'd get maybe a couple hours a day to code. What the other hours had in store or what the point was, who knows. But, it was mostly for people to talk and network and "feel like they were working" form my cynical perspective.

I just don't believe people that say you _have_ to be in office to solve complex problems or some such nonsense. There are too many examples that show this is laughably false. If someone wants to go in, I don't mind. But don't conflate your discomfort of being alone with your mind with "better productivity" because a work environment provides you with distractions.

Exactly. Game Porting Toolkit is an awesome showing, but the intention is in the name; it's not a compatibility layer, it's a porting tool. Eventually it will go away, and you'll be stuck with the same Mojave/Catalina-style cutoff for all your old games.

Apple could make things so much easier by just shipping MacOS with a native Vulkan driver and letting the community maintain the DXVK translator like all the other GPUs. It wouldn't diminish the demand for Metal (it's still the only option on many platforms) and it would bring Mac back up to parity with other OSes. Maybe a renewed commitment to supporting Rosetta would also help seal the deal.
