The dirty truth is that the ideal Silicon Valley CEO is whomever can be a perfect sockpuppet for investors and still understand technical velocity.

The more ability you have to be kind of waterproof so to speak - like a duck - because of a mixture of positioning, ruthlessness, access, intelligence, perseverance, etc the better you are. Most importantly you have to regularly show allegiance to specifically investors over all other considerations, and boom you’re perfectly crafted.

Altman has brilliantly positioned himself as that perfect fulcrum between venture and technical skills such that he is (in his own mind and to a tiny subset of incredibly powerful people in SV) indispensable to the silicon valley crowd who doesn’t really know how to navigate the intersection between venture and technical skills.

That is because if you don't know the story of the original, you don't even realise that the loop is there. (That's not meant to insulting - the game is specifically written that way.)

Throughout Remake, the game toys with the knowledge and expectations of the player who's familiar with the original - in ways that are sometimes moving, subtle, beautiful and elegant (e.g. Chapter 8), sometimes ridiculously clumsy and terrible (e.g. Chapter 17). But it is written so that a new player wouldn't even know there is a whole layer of the story that they have missed. That is why so many players who don't know the original never even realise, even after they finish Remake, that it is not a "remake", in the sense of a modern version of the original; the word "remake" in the title is wordplay, and the game reveals itself to be a requel. I've watched quite a few streamers start with the Remake, love it enough to go back to play the original, love it, then go back to replay the Remake - and start seeing this whole layer that they didn't see before, didn't even realise was there. It would be a lot better if Square Enix were honest and clear about this, but I guess they know they would sell far fewer copies if they told everyone how much of the story depends on knowledge of the original and its spinoffs. It doesn't mean Remake can't be enjoyed on its own - it's written so that its story makes some sense on its own - it's just that you miss out on a lot if you don't know what came before. (I mean, they're now saying that Rebirth can be enjoyed on its own too, without having played Remake. What they never bother to make clear is that "can be enjoyed" and "best enjoyed" are very different things.)
Yeah that's not a storage standard
And on top of that, the nomenclature is really confusing.

I used to play this game all the time - great blast from the past seeing it posted today. It's like a mini RTS.

I love how easy it is to jump into/out of a game quickly, at most, you're only ever committing 10 minutes.
Win 12 is neither of what the title posits. It's just the next branded bundle of the same Windows rolling release that they are doing since they decided to run with the NT kernel and make that the main one. The rest of it is just fluff, branding, business deals, PR and things like that.

I feel like posting has become simply uncool in time for few major reasons:

- older gens (50+) getting on socials (cool kids club vanishes)

- raise of influencers and post quality (comparison anxiety)

- change to algos (fewer people will see it)

I can't but think that plain old vBulletin/PhpBB topic-based forums are still the pinnacle of internet discussions.

I don't like the fact, e.g. that interesting discussion on hackernews end up in a day and you don't have long threaded discussions.
I had a bit of a mental shift after I turned 30, realising I'd spent the best part of a decade building up my career in various ways.

I'm still in the typical 9-5 job since I'm way too young to retire (and we don't get paid the crazy money in the UK that software engineers in parts of the US do), but I've been able to settle on what I want and what I don't want so I have the power to walk away.

In the simplest terms, I just need to be at a place working on something I give a fuck about, which pushes me to smaller upstarts. This sometimes incurs a bit of a paycut but I see that as a worthwhile hit to take if I don't feel like I'm selling my soul to people I realise I don't want to work for.

Just gotta avoid the lifestyle creep so a temporary downsize doesn't contribute to mental distress.
I mean I would say it is. Are engineers not the bulk of AWS employees? But I do see your point..."tech industry" maybe doesn't make sense as a description anymore.
I’d hardly say this is “precedent” for something that’s been done since the beginning of the language. (The Canterbury Tales are generally considered the threshold between old and modern English and they use singular “they”.)
It is a fair point as people have told me before, but I will show this thread to my children as I get them and ask what is their opinion on the matter before choosing my final outlook as well.
> but we decided to go with RoaringBitmaps to reduce their size

Interesting. Could you elaborate on the benefit of this?

I've (possibly prematurely) discarded the notion of using RoaringBitmaps like this because while they use less memory, traversal is and mutation is so much slower using a fixed buffer out of a pool and considering an upper bounded slice of putative results at a time.

Although this is for a search engine that typically deals with under-specified queries and is designed for best-effort retrieval given an upper computation time.

I was raised with the KJV and Shakespeare. To me, that language is definitely "modern english"; it doesn't need translating, any more than Scouse needs translating.

I have a completely different relationship with Chaucer. But it's like reading a foreign language that I know, but not idiomatically; I can't be sure whether X is supposed to be sarcastic, or Y is meant to be as funny as it seems.

Beowulf is some thing else again. That definitely seems to me like a foreign language.
Gpt-4 fails the Turing test by default because it does not claim to be human therefore it’s trivial for a judge to identify it. It would be interesting to train gpt to pass the Turing test, but I think for any reasonable judge it would still fail.
Hindi has 3: aap, tum, and tu.
The one fundamental thing we didn't account for is the willingness of a massive industrialized nation in the modern age to burn off young men like cordwood by the hundreds of thousands to achieve their war aims. Just about every last bit of military thought in the past 70 years needs to be thrown out and rewritten with that in mind, as it invalidates everything we hold as common sense and viable strategy.

Successfully waging an asymmetric war relies on the assumption that in a conflict of choice, the agressor can be inflicted enough pain to quit. The Soviet failures in Afghanistan, and the Americans in Vietnam, convinced the world of this fact. But that breaks down entirely when your agressor treats their own people as cattle for the slaughter, and has the viable means to maintain power regardless. We are entering a dark new age where the answer to "what would WWI look like with modern technology" is now being answered.
While I can’t really say whether it’s better/worse than elsewhere, I do know that divorce in Japan can be ruinous.

Horror stories abound on reddit forums for expats in Japan. Combine this with the fact that international marriages are more likely to end in divorce, and things can start to look pretty grim.

That being said, I still think marriage is worth it, provided both parties are willing and able to put in the effort to make it work. And I know many examples of couples in international marriages who have been happily married for decades or more (myself included).

And what makes it a “bad contract” anyway? The obligation to support one’s spouse and children in the event of divorce? I can see how this might be seen as a negative by the primary earner in a marriage, but on the other hand I can see clear societal benefits to this arrangement.

What is it saying, then? Are you saying TikTok is doing Good Stuff (aka propaganda) for the US government and other western governments? Because that sounds an awful lot like doing what those governments would want TikTok to do, and the opposite of what TikTok gets accused of doing.
If you make and sell paper, you're a paper company. If you make and sell cars, you're a car company. If you make and sell software, you're a software company.

If you happen to use paper in your company and send printed advertising to customers, but you actually rent vacations homes, you're not a paper company. Even if paper is a hot new industry and companies that sell paper are receiving high valuations, you are still not a paper company. Even if you buy a ton more printers than you need and really produce a lot of paper internally and go to paper conferences and talk about how much paper you use, you are still not a paper company.
>less waiting

This is such a nonsensical argument. I own two cars, and have a bit of a commute. I gas up once a week, it takes 10 minutes. What are you "waiting" for? There's a gas station on the corner in every town across North America.

Meanwhile, the same EV crowd talk about stopping for 30 minutes at a time on road trip to charge and go to the washroom.
I'm pretty sure they were talking about their impression of trends regarding how people actually talk, not how some literal language lawyers demand they speak. Whether they're actually correct or not, I have no idea and it's beside the point.
x86-64 Assembly Language Programming with Ubuntu (2022)
I glanced at the two links you shared and I wouldn't call those architectures boring, in fact they're quite involved. "I personally can't even answer with confidence what a single reasonably fat server can handle" - this is too ambiguous of a question anyway, since it depends on the workload. HN still runs on a single server, for instance.

The good news is you should stop worrying about this stuff, and just build. You'll eventually run into bottlenecks and can address them then. That's how best learning happens anyways. Premature optimization is fun and intellectually stimulating, but rarely gets you closer to delivering value.

My rules of thumb for starting out:

- Start with a monolith (microservices are great for certain problems, but it's very unlikely you'll have those problems in the beginning, and they add quite a bit of complexity)

- Use a relational DB (same caveats as above for NoSQL, RDBMS can handle search well enough early on as well)

- Use managed services as much as possible (cloud > managing your own hardware, RDS > managing your Postgres instance, etc). They typically have sensible defaults, provide greater security/scalability/availability, and let you focus on the product.

- The fewer independent moving parts in your architecture and infrastructure, the better. Let the complexity add over time, as needed.
That's not the comparison you have to make here. Instead consider :
price of the lot + compounding (regular income from utilizing the lot + rent you would have otherwise paid)

Nothing will come anywhere close.

Although no incidents occurred during the experiments, personal safety equipment such as protecting helmets, face shields, ear plugs, leather coats, Kevlar gloves, and grounded shoes as well as grounded equipment were strongly recommended."

This looks fun to work with [0]. It has a molecular formula of C3N12. Derek Lowe wrote a "Things I Won't Work With" column about cyanogen azide [1], which is CN4; this seems to be some kind of trimer form of that one. (Which one is worse?)

Not your problem and someone else should educate people about what you're actively choosing to do, got it.
Thanks a lot for the detailed response! I was indeed not aware of the scope of the problem and the fact that it has its own Wikipedia page.

Also many thanks making me aware of ORCID (together with "DamonHD"). After doing some digging I found ORCID API endpoints which are able to resolve DOIs and PMIDs to ORCID profiles, which is great.

I will take a closer look at the "disambiguation" project you linked to and will see what approach I can take for reliably resolving email addresses to first names (while filtering out non-personal email addresses).

That being said, I fear that resolving non-ORCID + non-email authors using the SerpApi + LLM approach I described in my initial post is still the best shot I currently have.
That reads an awful lot like a "Guilty until proven innocent because China" argument.

It will certainly go away, and with it one of the major non-environmental reasons to own an EV: fuel costs.

A game I would easily lose
I do think shops should stock both, but personally I can't stand Sonicare. I tried using my wife's toothbrush (I was a manual brushing guy at the time and wanted to check it out), and it actually hurt to use because the vibration was so intense. I figured that electric toothbrushes weren't for me and just went back to manual brushing, until my wife got me a cheap Oral-B to see if I liked that more. It's been really nice actually, and I've been planning to get a nicer Oral-B model. But yeah, I would far rather manually brush my teeth than use a Sonicare with how uncomfortable they are.
I'd love to see more language tooling install to ~/.local/bin. I think quite a bit of it predates the widespread use of that XDG directory, so adopting it now would require a migration. I think it'd be worth it, but I also think that's why it hasn't happened yet.
> Stadia was strictly a subscription service

I don’t know. Xbox Pass or whatever it’s called, you know, it’s the same thing as Stadia, better in every way, people pay for it. But who cares. At the end of the day it makes no sense to stream FPSes.

If they focused their product development on features for innovative games exclusively practicable with streaming, they’d still be around. Instead they made VP8 accelerators for YouTube, and called a field trial for libwebrtc some sort of time-traveling latency compensation method.

I mean they were demoing ControlNet with GANs (https://blog.research.google/2020/11/using-gans-to-create-fa...) 3 years ago, way before the current AI craze, and seemingly no one GAF. It was very cool but all their product development didn’t make sense in the context of “games that are only practicable with streaming.” Usually that means “you’re an indie developer with $2 and you want to make great assets and physics driven networked multiplayer” - two things you can actually uniquely achieve with streaming - but Google was fundamentally disinterested in that. They were so focused on Assassin's Creed, because that’s a game that the PMs were fond of, a multi million dollar production which makes no sense to stream, and some indie platformers which god bless them, made more sense to sell as Humble Bundles than streams. It wasn’t a lack of imagination, they had imagination, I think they just actively rejected the folks who are trying to make things for $2, that’s the real thing that is incompatible with Google’s ethos and it’s why Google failed.
I've spent a considerable amount of time porting various Unix C software to Xenix 286. My main task has been to identify and correct the implicit assumptions that pointers and integers are 32-bit, as opposed to 16-bit, and to ensure that there are no integer overflows. Some software was well-written, utilizing portable types and macros, while other software was a mess.

I get the urge to quantify life like this, but as a late bloomer in many respects I find it helpful (less stressful) to focus on who I've been rather than how long my flesh has been bumbling around.

It's all a continuum full of overlapping parts of myself, but I wasn't really recognizable as my current self before about 22ish. I don't find it terribly helpful to feel time-pressured about what that previous person spent those weeks on.

Think of it as a kind of persona bankruptcy.

Life is short, and my subconscious already spends enough time worrying about water under the bridge.
I would say the opposite. This paper was a very easy read, totally clear from the first reading what it is about, etc.

The background matters. Attention was already very well known in the community (machine translation), so nothing new for this paper, and it was written for such an audience which already knows these basics concepts like attention.

If you want to learn about attention, read some of the actual background papers which introduced it.

What makes Win11 bad is precisely those unnecessary bits, though. Sure, Win11 is perfectly fine if you take the time to de-crapify it. But the point is that your OS should not come with crapware out of the box! Windows used to not need that, and there's no excuse for MS adding all the consumer hostile crap they have added in recent years.
I went through an exploratory stage 16 years ago of this. It may be that more and more networks are opting for vendors who do not, in fact, offer 'internet' connections, but rather relayed proxies of various sorts, breaking things. After my bout, it kinda faded as I realized SSH-ing over almost any network was really a shoo-in. Then recently post covid i ran into similar blocks myself, so it may be on the rise with fortinet et al.
> I hope it helps you avoid death by a thousand tabs

I'll take having many tabs open over having many windows open, anytime. I use "Pin Tab" for a few important things (messenger, calendar).

I'm glad to have, at any given time, at most 2-3 windows open:

- A tabbed browser and a tabbed terminal (always)

- During meetings, a video call (in its own half-width window, with either the terminal or browser on the other side for notes/work/collaboration), so three windows.

- When writing a presentation or paper, a PDF viewer (in its own half-width window, with the terminal on the other half editing it).
Efficiency? The garbage truck and the recycling truck both get full on their routes and probably have different destinations. They’re both going to cover some middle ground to reach their service areas, which could overlap but don’t have to be the same.

In my neighborhood we have three different trucks. Garbage, recycling, and compost. The garbage and compost come weekly but recycling is every other week.
Why do you feel LinkedIn is a necessity these days? What exactly does it provide that makes getting a job without it so difficult?

And I've been involved in the hiring several people; linkedin has never been involved.
