> HTC Droid

Huh...I was about to post "Droid was from Motorola" but I checked myself first, and yeah...HTC had a few models they called Droid, though they all had a suffix, ie, Droid Incredible or Droid Eris.

Personally, I'll never buy Apple just because I absolutely hate their walled garden approach to your device.
This was a reference to Instagram, et. al., where distributing your illustrations there implicitly allows thier Ad machine to profit from your work
> And their local copycat, Baidu, is years behind Google in terms of technological sophistication and simultaneously years ahead of Google in terms of user hostility.

Baidu search was fine during early days, issue as you hinted was PRC internet went mobile first and content got locked behind various platforms and made deliberately hard to scrape - crawling/indexing got locked much earlier than west. Hence now as more gets locked in west behind logins, western behaviours also shifting towards that model, how much of default search is query + wiki/reddit/youtube or straight into short video services like looking up recipes on XiaoHongShu. Reddit especially, simply because reddit app has horrible search experience. Also technically, Baidu rankdex predated Google PageRank which Larry Page referenced for Pagerank patents. Eitherway, depending on how ChatGPT copyright drama plays out, imo more people will just go the lazy route and have AI generate good enough summaries for most queries.
At a certain size, I'd rather just have a detachable split keyboard.
If you'll still pay for the software I write, why should I care?
Exactly, if you have a human take in the information and make something that is arguably "different layout and pacing" then its possible it's not plagiarism.

Unfortunately no such leeway exists for algorithms, and the human elements of creation and judgement are integral to the process so they cant be codified and worked around without changing the law.
Quite likely underreporting affiliate links due to obfuscation like cloaking, hiding redirects behind javascript (they mention in the paper not rendering the page), using JS and a POST, other URL minifiers etc.

One interesting solution to the problem is to have more than one dominant search engine and its algorithmic choices, having half a dozen web-scale engines with some variation at least gives the user a choice into other avenues of information discovery. (There isn't really much point in using Startpage and DDG here since they're effectively meta search engines of Google and Bing). For SEOs in English speaking countries there is not much point in thinking beyond pleasing Google.

Clearly AI and whack-a-mole spam sites have been a problem for a while due to the prevalance of people tacking on 'reddit' to their query to find other humans talking about stuff.
Frozen gas station pumps is also relatively common, and a similar situation.

It's fun, but not useful. I want a solar powered Humvee in a zombie apocalypse.
Going out of your way to voluntarily choose to post your work on the internet, and on social media specifically, in order to market yourself and connect with new readers, is unpaid labor?

No it's not. It's being sour that you live in an interconnected world where others might find a way to benefit as a side effect of your own efforts.
A) The overall job market is tighter than it was a few years ago and MBAs are not immune.

B) Over the last decade I’ve observed the MBA becoming a lot less fashionable than it once was. I get the whole “it’s a great networking experience” thing but as a value-add degree there seems to be a lot less interest in people who specialize in “management” vs folks that focus first and foremost on being an expert at something. The “professional mid-level manager” definitely seems to be less of a thing than it used to be, with that now more of a meme for poorly performing companies (eg commentary about “the MBAs rocked up and messed up this org/company/product”). The days of armies of MBA hires consistently forming the next generation of leaders in high performing companies seems to have broadly passed. Not saying don’t do an MBA but it’s not the ticket to a senior role that it once was.

Particularly in tech there’s a lot less pathways in for an MBA than say a brilliant technologist that has some experience managing teams/products.

That's literally built into their corporate rules for how to take investment money, and when those rules were written they were criticised because people didn't think they'd ever grow enough for it to matter.

The main thing is the "work from home" movement. At first employers hated the idea of employees working from home. But then employers got used to it, and then they realized that they could outsource most work to a Third World country. Because once work leaves the office, there is no reason for the work to remain in the USA or Europe. It might as well as go some place cheap, like Brazil or India or Vietnam. Mentally, it took employers several years to fully adjust their mindset, but now that they've committed to being "remote first" they are realizing that they can outsource much more work than they ever did in the past.

Isn't that only Android (and maybe only older models)? Doesn't iOS use a LIDAR sensor instead of the camera?
Github is an unfortunate choice of example because the replies have fixated on it but there are a large number of sites that impose security cargo-culting to secure things that just don't need it. e.g. Why do I need to make an account with a password to pay a bill?
I've gotten the same recruiter reach out to me twice after already starting at the company.
This is getting exceptionally bad, where places like the SSA are moving to "online-only" for basically everything, and the ability to go to a local office and have someone help you is getting rarer and rarer.

And even if you can get in-person with someone, the new "secure" systems may block them from being able to help, anyway.
The same effect type writers and printing had on Scribes and Scriptoriums - they won't be around, they won't be needed, people will not pay for them except for extremely niche scenarios.
It looks as if other commenters have already done so.

There is definitely a push to get out more negative stories about EVs at present. This here is one of them. You might regard it as the "then they fight you" phase.
Your result is art not some AI generating something which looks familiar to what you did.

As far fetched as it might sound for obviuos artists: I'm also an artist when i write code and design systems and architect things.

I hate software patents and if i write a really good system, i'm happy to share how i did it.

I would only be pissed at someone if they just copy paste my work not if they got inspired by it.
Not GP, but an example that comes to mind is the trend of Victorian-era (British) translators bowdlerizing texts to align them with typical Victorian values and writing quirks. Although obviously not machine translated in those days :P
I'm not convinced this is true and not just a popular argument.

Just today I've processed 4 TB of JSON data, in Python, on a desktop computer. That would be crazy to imagine 10 years ago. Yes, many cores, fast SSD, etc. Maybe it should be 20 TB if ultra optimized, but the capability advance is incredible.

Yes, apps maybe start slowly, but now everybody can easily edit HD video on their mid-range laptop.
We already have laws covering close derivatives - in this case it might not be clear who is the inspiration but there is no novel creativity... everything these networks produce is derived from artists - there is no added novelty.
Is there no limit (ignoring outside limits, e.g. from the OS) for normal threads? I know people usually use limited size thread pools for a variety of reasons, but I can't say that I've actually tried to exceed limits in a Java process yet...

That would indeed be a problem if it's not similarly unlimited by default. Configurable makes perfect sense, as does attempting to be conservative, but small hard-capped defaults are very obviously going to cause problems, especially while synchronized locks the carrier.
Diffuse could be something like bounds checking in Rust. It’s not code I’ve written nor will any profiler call out the bounds check - they’ll at best point to the high level collection method but each one is a speed bump. Or the compiler generating inefficient code - spelunking through assembly hoping to spot the problem isn’t an effective use of time and profilers I’ve tried (valgrind and hotspot) have been unhelpful in giving me the info.

The advice you’ve provided is correct philosophy but not actually actionable - I’m having trouble finding the inefficiencies.
I wonder if everything becoming a saas has to do with that. Everyone has added a bunch of network hops to services that (probably) have to make a bunch of network hops.

It will be interesting to see if that changes in a post zero interest rate world. Will people do more locally in their programs instead of reaching out to third party saas to save money? Will performance be a value add in competitive niche markets?
I hate this for developers. I got to experience this first hand because I had a boss who thought like you.
Developers generally need to run a bunch of resource intensive tools to build the application in the first place, so an underpowered system will already be choking. It means their app will feel slow no matter what. So then when they run it and it's slow, they will shrug and say it's just slow because their system is slow.

There might be a case for specifically running testing on a slower machine, though.
I could get behind this for AI
You know, I missed that part. Oops.

Looking into the full paper, it looks like the task identified inside the frontier is much more broken down, with 18 numbered steps. The outside the frontier task is two bullet points.

So for clearly scoped tasks, ChatGPT is hands down good. For less well scoped work it reduces quality.

Interestingly, the authors also looked at the amount of text retained from ChatGPT, and found that people who received ChatGPT training ended up retaining a larger portion of the ChatGPT output in their final answers and performed better in the quality assessment.

I had the opportunity to work on TinyML, it's a wonderful field!
You can do a lot even with very small hardware.

For example, it's possible to get real-time computer vision system with an esp32-s3 (dual-core XTensa LX7 @ 240 MHz cost like 2$), of course using the methods given in the article (Pruning, Quantization, Knowledge distillation, etc.). The more important thing is to craft the model to fit as much as possible your need.

More than that, it's not that hard to get into, with solution named AutoML that do a lot for you. Checkout tool like Edge impulse [0], NanoEdge AI Studio [1], eIQ® ML [2]

There is a lot of tooling that is more low-level too, like model compiler (TVM or glow) and Tensorflow Lite Micro [3].

It's very likely that TinyML will get a lot more of traction. A lot of hardware companies are starting to provide MCU with NPU to keep consumption as low as possible. Company like NXP with the MCX N94x, Alif semiconductor [4], etc.

Use Apple's Magic Keyboard with backlit keys and trackpad (which is also a USB-C charging dock).

For multi-tasking, use Stage Manager to have thumbs of screens along the left side of the screen, and use the window affordances to resize windows with overlaps to have 2 or 3 applications open at the same time per thumbnail (a thumbnail isn't an app, it's a space or desktop).

Windows can 1/2 overlap the thumbs, so it doesn't take much screen space, and you can also overlap or leave showing the dock across the bottom.

This also works with a second monitor which can extend the desktop space instead of mirroring to it, then you can have a half dozen apps open at once.

Of course the killer feature is 5G, all day battery, and paper-notebook level of portability.
You know you can just fast-forward through those, right?

I mean, sure, that's still a minor annoyance, but not every channel has them, and many of them put them at the end anyways.
Nah. Even the "good" stuff feels cheap. It's the art version of ho-hos and twinkies. Every once in a while I see one and think, "oh, neat, wonder how they got it to do that?", but usually I'm just left slightly queasy and with a bad taste.

I recall the reverse problem when I was leaving school smack in the dot com era.

We had one friend who today would probably fall loosely under the moniker of Edge Lord. He was always stirring shit, and we also always suspected that his mouth was writing checks his skills couldn't cash. Most of us were working on little personal projects. Which is essentially what you do at that school - the teachers are almost world class, but the computer labs were undersubscribed, and maybe twenty hours out of the month was there a wait for hardware. You could almost always justify using a machine to work on 'frivolities'. So we all did. Games, Unix tools, whatever. But he never did.

Come graduation time, all of my friends were scattering to the west coast, Chicago, NYC, for their new jobs, meanwhile he elected to enroll for a masters degree instead. In the middle of a gold rush. Somehow never believed that higher education was his main priority.

Off topic: once worked at a company that built a "domino tracker" of some security service we were installing on customer hosts.

I learned to drive on a 1976 VW Rabbit diesel. We had a block heater for it, and in the winter, we had to plug it in to warm it up. You'd think there'd be some way to do that for EVs.
> have a personal "business plan" for what you are going to accomplish and treat professional school like a job

This is how people should treat any schooling. My plans weren't as thought out when I went to undergrad long ago, but even something as simple as 'pick a major that has a high likelihood of financial stability' helps.

Don't many of the top b-schools also require some work experience prior to attending?
Strongest possible disagree.

There was some pain around Ruby 1.8->1.9 because of string encodings, but no huge schism ala Python 2/3.

One of my biggest complaints about Google is the prioritization of pop culture slop over everything else. I feel like I'm frequently getting auto-corrected because some Netflix show is titled with a pun of a phrase or there is a dramatization of some historical figure that Google considers more relevant than the real person.
I had very similar experience with npm. Especially when you need to merge all the security updates for the sdk and all their dependencies. I also prefer interacting with the api, if it is straightforward.
Try going to the URL directly, and try curling the URL with a referrer of Google.

There's a thing that's been happening the last year or two where compromised web servers serve the intended content unless there's a referrer of Google (and maybe Bing?). The site looks normal to the owner, or to crawlers, but when a user clicks through from Google it redirects them to a spam site.

I mostly see it with restaurants getting hijacked by herbal quackery.
That's your opinion; the creator of the comic disagrees.
I'm curious as to why this isn't 0ms for a VM. The entire state of the system can be known ahead of time. Why does the kernel need to do any kind of dynamic initialization? Why aren't all data structures and variables statically assigned to proper values for the given VM. So at VM start up time it simply enters the main dispatch loop.
You can use function entry/exit (FEE) tracing.

A optimized implementation should only incur overhead around one hardware timestamp per function call which is generally around 10-100 ns. That is sufficient for benchmarking quantitative differences at the 1000 ns level and even clear qualitative differences at the 100 ns level. The bias is also fairly stable so you can generally even subtract it out with a little bit of care. And really, the microarchitectural state starts dominating at that point anyways, so anything more fine-grained than that starts depending on making sure the surrounding code did not mess up your L2 or branch predictor and such.
A) The overall job market is tighter than it was a few years ago and MBAs are not immune.

But what about all the "help wanted" signs I hear about from the media. I think it's more like they don't necessarily need a work, but are more like looking for candidates who may be offered a job.
Thanks for the mention!

OP — for startups (as opposed to a regular new small business) in the US, what would be in a "founders agreement" is typically handled across stock purchase agreements, IP and confidentiality agreements (either CIIA or PIIA agreements), company bylaws, and Delaware law. It is pretty rare for US startups to have one single "founders agreement". I think the reason why you read about them is that they may be more common for regular small businesses, and some people consider any new small business to be a startup. For our purposes, to paraphrase pg, a startup is a company that is optimizing for growth (as opposed to distributions to owners).

And to answer your original question, yes, we (Clerky) are what most YC companies use to handle everything described above (the others typically have cross-border setups that require more tailored paperwork from a law firm).
Doesn't it all boil down to economics in the end? When I worked at AOL, QA was very important/valued because our SW was shipped on CDs (I know, I know), and every bug/update cost us users because we had to download an update at modem speed. Now that I work on a web development team, bugs are easily fixed by an update. So who cares if there's a bug? We can just update the site. There are other costs, of course -- if we tolerate lots of bugs and tech debt, making development slower, we will evenually have our lunch eaten -- that's economics too.

Users/customers accept a certain level of quality, and it doesn't make short-term economic sense to provide more.

Please stop suggesting that people not take it personally. It's always personal for the person being fired, even if the company doesn't "personally" care.
Fully agree. Developers should regularly dog-food their software and they should have to do it on the lowest-spec machine/phone that the software claims to be supported on. Too many developers run their creations on their fully-maxxed-out development workstation beast machine, observe it runs fast enough, and call it a day.
