The ending of the piece helps to confirm exactly what you said - really, you want to bootstrap unless you are going so gangbusters that a lack of quick cash is damaging your ability to grow.
Because the training data/model size/compute tradeoff derived from that paper is highly suboptimal (too many parameters) compared to the ones from the later Deepmind scaling laws [1]. And then Meta researchers recommended using even smaller models, to trade-off training- and inference-time compute [2] (which I thought was pretty obvious if you care about more than just benchmarks).

> Well, Lingua Franca == Frankish

Technically no. Especially not the northern dialects which modern French is based on. Arabs/North Africans/etc. just called all Western European Franks. The actual dialect/pigeon language used in the Mediterranean and called "Lingua Franca" was mainly based on Northern Italian, Occitan and Catalan (so barely related to modern French).
Nice short read. Can't help but wonder how young people's rituals today would be viewed by historians hundreds of years from now!

They seek companionship by swiping right on each others' photos in dating apps, hoping to initiate a conversation. The photos are carefully curated to prominently display their most attractive attributes or eschew visual insecurities. Most men throw caution to the wind and swipe on everyone, while a few select women do their best to sift through the deluge of attention. Sadly this custom only created a 'wealth' inequality which left them with an indelible generational impression for years to come.
This is my sense as well. Growing up in a restaurant, I could see the cash being counted each evening. You scrub the toilets, make smalltalk, get orders, cook the food, serve it, clean the tables. At the end of the evening you have more cash in the till than at the start. Results are very obvious.

Most people who get a desk job will not see this, in fact they will barely ever meet an end consumer (person who eventually pays VAT for example), and the money will have passed through a huge number of hands before getting into their account each month. Doing a slightly better or worse job makes no difference.

They might also re-evaluate their risk profile and invest more into securing their systems (for existing tech&laws, an analogy for the IRL product companies). The lawyers and peanut counters are often involved in the decision making around these things.

I mean the Russians trying to exert soft power of Europe is a thing, but over a century if French colonialism _really_ doesn't help your argument one bit.

It's really scary to think that his prejudiced and genocidal views are reflected in the LLMs. We've also seen Israel use AI to choose targets (resulting in mostly civilian deaths). It feels like our industry is splitting in two because I don't want to work with people who support what Israel is doing.
About two weeks in to my first job, as a dishwasher, I told myself that I didn't want to do this for the next forty years. I stayed in restaurants another ~five years and was known as a hard worker, but that desire is what drove me to college and to a career.
Hi, author here.

Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax
They knew what they were doing would kill people and did it anyway with that knowledge. The fact that their motivation was profit instead of the deaths doesn't make it not murder.

If I intend to enrich myself my taking all the money in an armored car and the deaths of the security guards I'll have to shoot my way through is just some side effect to me, not my intent by neither my concern, that's still murder.
Seems sort of clearly misleading at any rate.

Using EEG to predict thought is like looking at the clouds in Mumbai to predict the clouds in Austin.

> cookware with tight fitting lids

Not sure what you mean? Lids should cover the top, but they need to rest loosely so that steam building up pressure can escape.

I don't even know what a "tight fitting lid" means (unless you're talking about a pressure cooker). Or why you would want one.
They do - they just have to have had larger successes.

"Founding X" doesn't count for shit.

Being part of a team that built a hugely successful product teaches you a lot - it teaches you about the counterintuitive dynamics of superlinear growth. That is a very important mindset to bring to the table if you want to create a successful VC-funded startup.
Is it possible to make a fuel efficient open source car that is road legal? How much funding would it require?
So there’s the general “why is this called a recall when it doesn’t have to go to a shop” complaint for which the answer is “recall is the legal term for what happens” and that is what forces action.

Then there are people complaining about not being able to use AP as much with the car actually enforcing the stated requirements of using AP, which seem to imply an admission that you were knowingly using a vehicle in an unsafe manner. The rules for using AP “safely” is that you must be just as engaged and focused as you would be if you were driving the car. Never mind that decades of air safety have determined that that isn’t physiologically possible, those instructions exist, and they exist for a reason. Namely that AP is not safe, and Tesla wants to insulate themselves from liability by claiming that the person in the drivers seat is the one responsible when AP fails. If AP were safe it would not require those terms. If AP were safe and effective as claimed Tesla would not spend so much time faking videos. If Tesla actually expected people to follow those rules their CEO would not post videos of himself not doing so. Tesla claimed these were the rules, and claimed to enforce them, but demonstrably did not.

I think a reasonable complaint would be “I paid extra for AP but now I can’t use it, how do I get a refund?”
Is that really just on AMD?

What was great about the early web was largely the parts that weren’t economically driven. It would be very difficult, if not impossible, to build a better web with economics as the primary concern. It’s the drive for profits that fostered the bad aspects of the modern web in the first place.

You can mount the card vertically with a riser cable. It won't solve the problem of it taking up all slots but it won't risk sagging either.
I've never understood the cult around tech VCs, the ratio of self-regard to actual value delivered to the world (or even their own firms) has always seemed staggeringly out of scale with reality. And that's even true in a world that seems to have no shortage of unearned self-regard.

I guess if you play the game you can get your hands on a lottery ticket with pretty good odds. But seriously fuck these people and their egos.

I'm pretty sure if you build really solid tech or a growing company they'll come chase you, so I am really hard pressed to figure out why people should pay all that much attention to who they are and what they think at all.
> You MIGHT find some isolated instance where someone objects to this movie. However, they'll be in an extreme minority.

Really? Take a look at the reception of recent movies that are arguably comparable - The Dictator (Larry Charles, 2012), The Interview, Jojo Rabbit. All of which, to a greater or lesser extent, have been overshadowed by controversy about their portrayal of these topics, often including claims that the movie is either promoting hateful attitudes or "trivializing" and implicitly minimizing past atrocities by the vey act of portraying them via satire and ridicule. The contrast with how The Great Dictator was received historically could hardly be any clearer!
The only reason people prefer cast iron is an affectation for "old school" things. There is no practical, objective reason to use them over stainless steel.

> having an accident with "autopilot" engaged will now become more the driver's fault.

As a condition of the recall? I'm not understanding. I'm not a fan of this whole "autopilot needing driver intervention to avoid danger" product launch at all. It's absurd. Either limit it to just highways and focus on that model, prohibiting it from city traffic, or just limit use to some other context-specific form. I don't even trust my new Mercedes to slow down on cruise control when cars are too close and that's an insanely simple feature.
It’s more silly not to realize that 60 years ago the janitor could buy a house and put the kids through school, 40 years ago you could get a college degree and buy a house as soon as you graduate…

And now you get nothing. Sure a few people get lucky - but that’s clearly luck with such obvious systemic issues. Like do you not know people? I know way more people who will never retire or own homes than the opposite.

People shouldn’t work hard if the deal gets worse every year. Don’t reinforce this bad system. Tear it down.

French colonialism ended a long time ago, like in the 60s. It’s been over 60 years.

[edit] The French even regularly hold referendums in COMs like New Caledonia offering to cut them loose. But the last one they had 97% voted to remain part of France. Sometimes it’s good to be a dependency of a world power.

I should correct myself, New Caledonia isn’t a COM (collectivité d'outre-mer) anymore but a sui generis collectivity. But I digress.
I think it's insulting to say that human opinion or observation is worthless because a small program with a neat dataset can answer a lot of questions.

> to the language that was used around the Eastern Mediterranean Sea as the main language of commerce.

Which was a language that was barely related to modern French (besides belonging to the same Romance language sub-branch which includes Catalan, Occitan and most Northern Italian dialects, coincidentally places where most of those merchants who introduced that language came from).
Just to recap, your argument is: "Some experts in some fields have been wrong before, ergo we have good reason to disbelieve some claims of some experts in this field (and by sheer coincidence the ones we should disbelieve are the ones I already disagree with)?"

Another great example of faulty alarm bells.

I'm all for approaching these claims with skepticism, but that's not what you're doing here. You are categorically discarding claims you already disagree with.
There are even other forms like RASCI (S for support role)
Unfortunately the C++ compiler cannot reason about much of anything as soon as you make a virtual function call, or even a call into a separate translation unit (unless maybe you are using LTO but that has its own issues).

E.g. if you do:

{
auto foo = std::make_shared<Foo>();
bar->baz(foo);
}

The compiler has to know what `baz()` does in order to know whether it can elide heap allocation and refcounting of `foo`. `baz()` could, after all, add a refcount on `foo` and keep it somewhere.

If `baz()` is virtual, or just implemented in a source file that the compiler cannot see at the time of compiling the calling code, then there's no ability to optimize at all. Even if the compiler does know the full implementation of `baz()`, eliding the heap allocation is not going to be easy. Maybe if `baz()` is very simple, it can do it? I actually don't know if the compiler is even capable of this when using shared_ptr.

Of course you can always say "well a sufficiently smart compiler could reason about your whole codebase including every implementation of a virtual call" but we program to the compiler we have, not the one we want. And frankly, if you had a compiler that smart it would be able to detect your use-after-free bugs and warn about them, so you wouldn't need to use shared_ptr everywehre.

I'd argue that the Hexagon DSPs shipped with all Qualcomm's phone SoC which a large number of us have in our pockets right now are probably more prominent example.

Itanium's problem wasn't so much divergent control flow as not being able to handle unpredictable latencies on load instructions without halting all execution entirely. There were some features that were, in theory, supposed to deal with this but using them was where the magic compiler problem came in.

For DSPs you can usually predict memory latency so this isn't an issue and VLIW works great there even with some amount of branching.
> Learning by trial and error, no factual knowledge to go by

To me, it seems more like learning how to clearly and thoroughly communicate with the LLM, much like we have to do with other humans. There are basics we already know and guides are out there. The details are different for how we communicate with each other, but by and large, the process is similar. I mean, how many books are out there on how to be a better speaker, writer, communicator, relationships... the list could get quite long.
While you’re probably right, this isn’t super relevant. From Google’s perspective, they just want to auction off the advertising slot and get that view, the actual click through rate on that ad is a secondary issue.
Maybe it's my business major background and my skepticism of all these tech companies that have no reasonable business model to make $'s, but unless there is an obvious need for investment like buying a large amount of real estate or machinery, why would you need VC money to build an app after you've already spent several months doing it?

It should run on it's own and not need investor money. You shouldn't be focused on getting VC's, you should focus on developing an app that actually turns a profit.

It's not that difficult. Anyways, I found your story really interesting. Good story :)
It wasn't even on the Mediterranean at the time (or rather French was spoken in the North of modern France back then). People on Mediterranean coast of France were speaking Occitan and other dialects which were more closely related to Catalan and Northern Italian (all of those were mostly eradicated during and during the century or so after the French revolution).
I actually got a response fairly quickly after emailing support@hcaptcha.com. So now I can automate away :)
> The reason people think climate change is overblown is because it challenges them to think about changing their way of life ie directly goes against their interests…

I don’t think the vast, vast majority of people actually care that much. It’s a vocal minority on all sides. Most people just want to pay their bills, have food/clothing/shelter covered, and try to muddle through this life thing.

I would posit that the vast, vast majority of people have little say or impact as it pertains to climate change, they just don’t have the means or mental bandwidth to effect change.

Ummm... this seems pretty genuine, as opposed to a polite no? If you don't have something compelling to differentiate you from the cacophony of other founders who want preproduct dollars, then of course you need to demonstrate the viability of the product.
no sure why people downvoted you. Maybe people are unaware of how stupid the french state has become when dealing with immigration.

Also BGA explicitly asks for permission to post these games.

Also BGA is pretty big and large. It's already one of the best places to put digital implementations of games, and that's why you see major hobby games come out on there, like Wingspan and Ark Nova, with about 75 or more new games added to the site every year, including games that haven't even been released yet and still on Kickstarter, like Undergrove recently.

And yeah, I've bought probably at least a dozen games now after playing them on BGA first. It's fun to play them on BGA, but I'd also like to play them in person with my friends, too.
Appreciate it :)

But yes, after learning a lot from my various startup scars, I don't believe I'll be seeking VC dollars for an app unless:

- I am a late-onset cofounder of an already successful co that needs and app
