Eh, I don't see anything inappropriate in these documents. If they seem overly paranoid, it's because some major security breaches have historically involved silly things like this. Where do you draw the line between a Furby and a Casio SK-1 and a Teddy Ruxpin and a Minidisc recorder and any number of other stateful gadgets of the day, especially when the Furby is brand new and nobody really knows what's inside it?

The NSA is an intelligence agency. The NSA doesn't want people bringing things in that might have the ability to exfiltrate voices or other signals, and in any event the NSA doesn't want random employees talking about it to the press. Where's the element of surprise here? I don't understand why it was even newsworthy in the first place.

As for the intelligence agencies "owning our politicians," LOL. If there were the slightest truth to that, Trump's headstone would read "1946-2016."

But only because Oregon has a nice law that makes it so the assessed value for a house for property tax calculation purposes can't rise more than 3% per year. My house is estimated to be worth $550K, but I'm being taxed as if it's only $250K.

Which is nice for a homeowner as you're totally screwed by the rising housing market, but it makes new housing harder to sell since your tax will start where it needs to be, whereas buying an existing home keeps your tax low.

Also causes problems when areas gentrify, but the city isn't collecting enough tax to make improvements that are expected by the residents.
>> It becomes essential to build an intuition for where something went wrong based on the signals available.

This has always been my approach. I learned programming way before I had access to debuggers and other methods to dig in, set breakpoints and step through code to see where it was going wrong. As a result, when I got in the real world I kind of looked down on people using those tools (mostly because I hate tools actually). But then I saw people get to the root of problems that I don't think I ever could have solved, and I started to appreciate those tools and the detail you could get to. My preference is still to have a great understanding of how algorithms work, how the code is written, and what the problem is, and noodle out what and where things may be going wrong. I only switch to detailed monitoring of the insides when "thinking about it" fails. Maybe I should have gone into this ML stuff ;-)
An HN post is a good start.

It's not that people can't do it, but that it consumes a huge quantity of time. You're learning a bunch of new tools, and building infrastructure to feed it your data.

And often the result is failure, or something close to it, as the output isn't very good.

I think it might be time to get onboard with rust.

I'm a 20 year c/c++ developer and doing c since I was 12 and the idea of rust infuriates me but I want to deprogram my mind from that.

What does the community think is a good place to learn rust for someone with a strong c++ background?

I’m old enough to have learned that the secret to success is much less knowing the tool of the moment than picking the right tool for a job.

The right tool may in fact be the new one, and LLM do open a lot of doors with zero shot capabilities, but oftentimes they can underperform a well tuned heuristic. It’s the ability to pick the right tool that is key.

>By design, VLIW instruction sets encode a lot about how the execution units work in the instruction format. For example, Itanium is designed for a machine with three execution units and each instruction pack has up to three instructions, one for each of them. But what if you want to put more execution units into the CPU in a future iteration of the design? Well, it's not straightforward. One approach is to ship executables in a bytecode, which is only scheduled and encoded on the machine it is installed on, allowed the instruction encoding and thus number of ports to vary.

This was how Sun's MAJC[0] worked -

" For instance, if a particular implementation took three cycles to complete a floating-point multiplication, MAJC compilers would attempt to schedule in other instructions that took three cycles to complete and were not currently stalled. A change in the actual implementation might reduce this delay to only two instructions, however, and the compiler would need to be aware of this change.

This means that the compiler was not tied to MAJC as a whole, but a particular implementation of MAJC, each individual CPU based on the MAJC design.

...

The developer ships only a single bytecode version of their program, and the user's machine compiles that to the underlying platform. "[0]

This looks a lot like OpenAI's aesthetics - their post graphics and previous iterations of their site had a similar vibe - https://openai.com/blog/democratic-inputs-to-ai-grant-progra...

Design is hard, so doing variations on a theme, or formulaic processes to get to a point where you say "I like it, it feels right, and it looks good" is a success. If you can repeat a process like the OP lays out, that's a strong foundation to build a website on.

The identity part comes from the divergence from baseline, and having a good foundation lets you experiment and "craft" easily. Nobody is gonna get a knockout web design in 30 minutes following a tutorial, but you might spend a week or three building on what you do in that first 30 minutes to achieve something unique and stellar.

I think you underestimate how bad the competition has usually been. Apple is bad but the competition is usually terrible. Tech stuff has always had a pretty low bar, especially for actually working without a huge amount of sysadmin.
Google is far from an engineering led company today. It is the same product management situation as at any other company. That engineering led vision for the company is what produced their early successes. Their later failures aren't because of being an engineering led company...

I think the turning point was the Google+ failure. It was perhaps the first major initiative at Google that was not engineering led, and when it failed, it seems like the shift began in earnest to restructure the company for top down initiatives, led by business instead of engineering.

Google+ indeed happened under Page's leadership, so I agree with you that this is where it fell off the rails, but I think you have the reason backwards.

If I'm not mistaken, you created some graphical assets for your brand identity.

This headline is very clickbaity.

You already created a logo and a color palette, which is almost all work done.

On top of that, the visual assets are mediocre at most. This 'brand identity' is like 1 in a thousand. This only supports my opinion that midjourney isn't capable of real creative work.
Design comes in trends, if you've seen it on 5 brands there are probably 100 more coming.

One trend people probably have noticed is that many brands over the last decade went from a script or serif font to a san-serif.

People also hate "corporate memphis" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis) which has been a trend for a while (probably on the way out but still used heavily).

There aren't a lot of unique brands out there, and if they have some kind of success they're not likely to be unique for long.

The Vision Pro’s existing sales have already justified the project. They have sold 560+ million dollars worth of them at presumably insane profit margins.

I think Apple’s strategy is to just execute whatever the next tech thing is better than existing participants. MP3 players weren’t a forever thing, but they were a very profitable thing for Apple. Watch, tablet, 3D glasses etc timed after someone else proved the market and just in time for Apple to slurp up the most profitable slice of the pie.

They don’t want to be the first self driving car company, they want to be the most profitable self driving car company.

If they had 100% capture of the current consumer VR/AR market it would still have a tiny impact on their overall numbers.

They use a new term because they feel the only way to succeed is to create a new product category.

And that is part of why it is confusing - it doesn't feel like they could create a large enough market to matter for any device in the current VR/AR form factor, or even the idealized version of the current form.

The separation of 'natural' person [1] from legal persons[2] dates back to the Middle Ages and perhaps even Ancient Rome.[3]

It is how town/city charters were structured (the town is a legal person made of its inhabitants), as well as Medieval guilds (modern unions), universities,[4] etc.

Breaking down the legal separation could effect all of these legal entities.

How can you know if there was a security issue? If you can not, you can't say there was no issue.

You were being pedantic up until here, so let's continue with the presumption of pedantry: what GP described is very far from reckless driving because they knew exactly what they were doing. You can cut people off safely, if dickishly, because of how the laws of physics work: cars can't suddenly teleport into where you will be, acceleration (especially at those speeds) is relatively slow for the vast majority of passenger vehicles.
I have a serious question to those making money and I am hoping to learn here. How did you acquire customers? We have a startup going on for 3.5 months but it is incredibly hard to acquire customers. People don't respond to email or LinkedIn. We have not tried SEO and Ads yet.
TLDR: This is not making a brand identity in midjourney, this is making a logo and color palette and getting Midjourney to create some similar images.

I was somewhat expecting this to be more of a creating a brand identity based on the company, but this is not what they did.

They took a bunch of existing "themes", but who says those are representative of the brand?

> In our case, I have already designed the logo and color palette.

So, the core brand identity had already been decided before midjourney. Then they just used the blend feature to get a bunch more images that are a mix of the 2.

> It is estimated that the amount of gold present in the entire universe is about 50 billion tons, with about one ounce for every 150 billion tons of Earth.

According to Alexander Budianto on quora[2] the earth is ~6.58310^21 tons ~ 710^21

710^21/(15010^9) / 10^9 = 46 billion

So that is ~46 billion ounces of gold on earth, rounded up 50 billion. Maybe that is where they obtained 50 billion from?

The Roman Empire wasn't homogeneous.

Going from Rome to Lyon was about two weeks of travel. Paris and London about a month. Possibly (much) longer depending on season and how much funds you had.

> they mean knowledge basic operations and properties of tensors more than actual "algebra".

You're actually describing linear algebra. A core topic is system of equations. You might see a 2-Tensor (matrix) like Ax := [[a,b],[c,d]].[x,y] and you could write it as f = ax + by; g = cx + dy. Often dimensions are implicit so it may not look like this, but it is. But that's a big part of what it is about (there's a whole lot more btw). You're absolutely using linear algebra frequently in graphics. Euler angles are a good example, you're just probably not writing them in matrix/tensor form. You will even get a tiny bit of exposure to {field,group} theory/abstract algebra via quaternions.

In ML I'd say it is very similar. The typical researcher is going to have about the same math skills as the typical person studying graphics (I actually started my PhD in HPC graphics). But, and this holds for both domains, having a deeper math understanding only helps. It makes things easier to debug, gives you a better understanding of what the systems are doing, and gives you a lot of tools to solve many problems. I wouldn't ever use math as a strong barrier to entry, but I feel many get complacent with their skill level and we have been discouraging this myth that math doesn't help. Without a doubt, it does.
For a car that is, as Tesla fans like to point out, "far simpler than an ICE, with a lot less that can possibly go wrong", being in the "middle of the pack" with ICEs is actually pretty damning.
My 11th gen Intel Framework is my only PC and has been a great machine. I use it for dev, gaming, and general computing. Integrated Intel graphics goes surprisingly far if you run games at 720p - Skyrim, Dishonered, the Mass Effects, and more recently Battlebit all run well. I'd imagine the more recent Ryzens would be much better.

I want the 16 for more screen real-estate and better gaming; I've had family notice my laptop and make positive comments, so I may pass it on when I eventually upgrade.

On a related note, I saw someone else with a Framework laptop at a coffee shop the other day here in Alaska - super cool! First time I've seen another Framework user :)
Point 1 being true (upselling for more money), doesn't negate points 2 (potential cloud partners deals) and 3 (SD cards shitify the UX) also being true.

Regarding Exynos, Devil's advocate take: Most customers won't be able to tell the difference between Exynos or not in real world tasks, but they will definitely tell the difference between reading off SD and UFS.

They don't put Exynos in the US because Qualcom owns that modem market there as even Apple still uses them. Maybe if the EU had any alrge domestic competitors left in these spaces(phone modems and mobile phones), the situation would be different, but since we don't, we're at the mercy of US and Asian giants for selling us their consumer hardware.
