> VCs trading insider shares at escalating valuations isn't real value.

To be fair, this is your thesis, and you are free build your portfolio around it.

VC’s portfolios are built around a different thesis, and a big part of that is preferred shares and valuations.

Note that both you and VCs can be “correct” (i.e. profitable) simultaneously, you’re just trading on different things.
It's not just emerging markets. Many people are not capable of setting up authenticator apps, not everyone is a "techy" and not everyone is smart. Those people use the internet too.

SMS token is something that is much easier to use. 2FA with SMS is still a lot of added security in comparison to no second factor at all. Especially for people who use insecure passwords.
Are you on ZFS by any chance? There's a bug with SQLite which can lock the thread for a few seconds, I had the same problem. Here's the issue I created, with several workarounds included. My current workaround is to have a separate dataset without sync for the atuin directory.

> As a first generation immigrant, I’m in no way “just as American” as my wife, whose family settled the west coast in the wagon trails.

I don't know who convinced you of this notion, but it's 100% horseshit. You absolutely are just as much of an American as anyone else living here. America as a country is founded on the contributions of all of the people who moved here. The concept of "nationality" meaning you must have roots here, or that you must look like an "American", is just complete garbage. If you're a citizen, you're an American, and that's all there is to it.

Photorealism is well within current capabilities. Technical drawings absolutely not. Not sure what other graphical media includes.
Actually there should be 0 outrage. I'm not outraged at all, I find this very funny. Let Google drown in it's own poor quality product. People can choose to use the DEI model if they want.
People used to do that with actual books. Terry Pratchett had to change his German publisher because they would keep doing it to his books.
This is true, but you could say the same about "Tory", or many other labels for political groups that are used by supporters and opponents alike. It refers to a thing that some people have good and some people have poor opinions on, but the label is just a proxy, not a cause or carrier of opinion itself

That’s not even remotely comparable. North America etc. turned out to be effectively more “habitable” than the old world due the abundance of fertile land and other resources relative to population. That can never happen on Mars.

> Human history is full of people who have done exactly this.

Are there any self-sustainable colonies in Antarctica (which is more habitable than Mars by at least several magnitudes)? So not humans have never done anything even remotely close to what colonizing Mars would require.
One of the fascinating things that came out of this is the price these commercial APT groups run, 60k for hacking the Vietnamese government feels shockingly low. It's no wonder so many moonlight doing intellectual property theft and such, I wonder if it's an unspoken part of the compensation for doing work for the government.
I said the "project economy". I didn't say: "I spent".
In the end, I calculated the profit as if I didn't use my own tools, because that's what the reader of the case study wants to see.

The point of the whole post is to take one real case study.
If you follow my steps, you have to pay for tools, so for the reader it's not important at all if I personally paid or not.

You don't get the point of the post at all.
It's a case study on how I brought an idea to implementation and grew it to 7k revenue. What's the point of bringing up all those details? I didn't "fabricate" this case. This is a real case.

If I used other tools that aren't mine(i used godaddy and hosting..) would there be even the slightest difference for the key point of the article?
If I start the article but saying: "I used my own tools...." would it make any difference to the main point of the article? for the case study?
Indeed. Check this: https://mindmatters.ai/2022/01/the-strange-story-of-googles-...
It's not even a thought experiment, it's a philosophical debate on morals and laws vs freedom and whatnot. It's not an easy one, and it goes back decades if not hundreds of years; remember things like the Anarchist's Cookbook?

And the OP wasn't contributing to the truth about Jack Welch by simply skipping past what a jackass he was. He was technically an engineer, and spent 30+ years ignoring engineering, integrity and common sense, for the sake of profits. That's faux engineer, at best.

Every single time assholes are mentioned, their assholery should be mentioned too. Let's not rewrite history for those unaware of how these "people" acted.

By your logic, the only thing that should be mentioned about Pol Pot is that he was a leader of Cambodia at one point.

I’m my experience, softwares (and related configs) change enough from one machine to the next that it’s mostly a waste of time. Unless you plan on switching hardware yearly or something it’s a waste of time to overthink so sort of config management.

On top of that you are unlikely to do and need the exact same thing when you will be switching hardware (considering how evolution has slowed down); and new hardware is very often motivated by a change of activity (so the relevant specs and setup te d to change).

Don’t overthink it, just install a plain old windows, use VMs to test stuff and fix things as you go along.
Nowadays Windows is stable enough that you are unlikely to need much fixing until you are ready to change the hardware anyway…
And a stereotype of a phone doesn't have nearly the same historical context or ongoing harmful effects on the world as a racial stereotype.
> discrimination will be solved and atrocities from the past will be forgiven

The majority of people that committed these atrocities are dead. Will you stoop to their same level and collectively discriminate against whole swaths of populations based on the actions of some dead people? Guilt by association? An eye for an eye? Great way to perpetuate the madness. How about you focus on individuals, as only they can act and be held accountable? Find the extortion inherent to the system, and remove it so individuals can succeed.

> expectations that come from using other image editors

Or have expectations that...make sense? The way GIMP represents layers is unintuitive, at best.

There are some de-facto tools (Adobe Photoshop, etc.) that have paved the way for intuitive UX in this space - no need to re-invent the wheel in areas that are well-established by now.
There's no run to any OCR, first step or not.

Are you using the CL REPL directly on a terminal emulator? I do not type expressions directly into the REPL often. I do sometimes but not often. Instead I send expressions right from the editor to the REPL. The REPL itself is available as a separate buffer in the editor. How this is done depends on the editor/IDE. Some examples:

• With Emacs + SLIME, we can type C-M-x (evaluate current top-level form) or C-x C-e (evaluate the expression before the cursor).

• With Vim + Slimv, it is ,e and ,d respectively.

• Yet another popular option is Vim + Vlime in which case the key sequences are \ss and \st instead.

I have written two guides to explain how to create such a development environment from scratch and get started with such a setup:

• https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl

• https://susam.net/lisp-in-vim.html

There are commercial implementation + IDEs too which according to many people provide even better integrated development experience. The most popular among them is perhaps LispWorks. I use Emacs + SLIME myself.
Thank you. This is the specific answer I was looking for.

Sure, Humans going to Mars and back would be cool. Attempting to establish any permanent presence there let a lone a colony with more than a dozen or so people there would be an inconceivable massive waste of resources.

Disclaimer: by no means a pro at my thinking...

One thing you have to practice is the art (science?) of separating emotion from action. My historical crutch is suffering from the emotion of failure or anticipation of failure and not learning as much from that failure. And, what looks like failure at the start of something may in fact turn the other way. Life, process, things evolve somewhat out of your control.

That ties to my other point. I think it's important to learn to give up power/control. Try to look things with an objective lens. What can you do, what can't you do, where do you need help, and methodically tackle. Worry less about where the power and control comes from and do things that drive toward an outcome.

I'm practicing constantly!
Don't worry, no one gets them.
The private lander's mission control looks like the proverbial two-pizza team.

Would it that the silent revolution in spaceflight, hidden under the glamour of reusable rockets, is incredibly sophisticated telemetry, communication, on-board automation? A computing stack that's making the 1x mission control a 10x mission control?

I understand there will be other teams elsewhere (delivery vehicle, remote sensing etc. etc.). But that image is rad too --- from one or a few space agencies co-orchestrating a program to multiples more doing so.

Obviously some version of this has been going on for decades, but somehow the imagery on their website struck a chord.
There is some truth in what you say, just like saying you're a "free speech absolutist" sounds good at first blush. But the real world is more complicated, and the provider adds safety features because they have to operate in the real world and not just make superficial arguments about how things should work.

Yes, they are protecting themselves from lawsuits, but they are also protecting other people. Preventing people asking for specific celebrities (or children) having sex is for their benefit too.
I would describe those issues as technical. It’s genuinely getting things wrong because the “safety” element was implemented poorly.
It did mess up with my ego heavily. Because once in a while I would actually manage to push through anxiety and do something, and I'd succeed.

Unfortunately it made me quite narcistic, as I ended up with belief that I could always succeed, if only I gave in some effort - but as I never tried to do that in practice, I ended up at the top of Dunning-Kruger curve. High ego, no skills.
Of all criticism that could be leveled at Google, 'shipping a product and supporting it' being the only thing that matters seems fair.

Which takes all the behind the scenes steps, not just the technical ones.
It's odd that long after 70s-2000s post-modernism has been supplanted by hyper-racist activism in academia, Google finally produced a true technological engine for postmodern expression through the lens of this contemporary ideology.

Imagine for a moment a Gemini that just altered the weights on a daily or hourly basis, so one hour you had it producing material from an exhumed Jim Crow ideology, the next hour you'd have the Juche machine, then the 1930s-era Soviet machine, then 1930s New Deal propaganda, followed by something derived from Mayan tablets trying to meme children into ripping one another's hearts out for a bloody reptile god.
Yes it does, I don't want AI generating something that is illegal in my country. And it cannot make assumptions about where I live, due to VPNs and the like.
For the race-essentialist practices described by the original poster, Yascha Mounk's "The Identity Trap," published in 2023, and interviews with Coleman Hughes regarding his college experience at Columbia are insightful resources.

To delve into the philosophical roots that lead to the type of absurd reasoning mentioned by the original poster, "Cynical Theories" by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, released in 2020, is recommended. Despite Lindsay's more recent radical stance, the book provides a critical exploration of these theories. It is also heavy on citations.

For the kind of misconduct in higher education described by the original poster, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) or the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) serve as reliable references. There's no lack of explicit anti-semitism on campus.

The discussion around "woke" culture is often muddled by attempts to obscure its existence, framing it as merely an extreme right-wing concern. For those who genuinely want a quick way to challenge their priors regarding "woke" being some kind of "right-wing" thing, you should give this short piece[0] a read. Does it comport with your notion of "right-wing"? If not, you should start questioning those who use "right-wing" as a boogeymen to convince you that there isn't a radical ideology who've created newspeak for their brand of racism, sexism, whatever-ism.

I truly wonder what "unsafe" scenarios an image generator could be used for? Don't we already have software that can do pretty much anything if a professional human is using it?
Idk, but watch this live demo: https://youtube.com/watch?v=69vx8ozQv-s He couldn't do it.

There could have been multiple versions of Gemini active at any given time. Or, A/B testing, or somehow they faked it to help Google out. Or maybe they fixed it already, less than 24 hours after hitting the press. But the current fix is to not do images at all.
You sound like you do not understand hardware wallets. The point of the hardware wallet is that you NEVER EVER expose your seed phase you basically hammer it in some metal or buy something that survives fire with your seed phase, and you NEVER EVER type it into any program, nor to you write it down from a computer screen but only directly from the wallet device. If anyone is dumb enough to go through the setup process of a hardware wallet and STILL end up typing their seed phase into some software wallet, then it's on them.

So hell yeah, it would matter, because that setup process alone makes you understand crypto better and why it's isolated from your PC. As others mentioned, that person later realized this.
If it’s a one way trip then perhaps, otherwise that’s not obvious to me at all.

text has definitely gotten better. i remember when text could not be modified (as text) after initial creation -- but this has been fixed quite some time ago.

also, paths and text can be exported to svg format, but i still wouldn't call gimp a suitable editor for rich vector graphics. the vector features are more just a means to a (rasterized) end.
We can consider 3 common ways this could have happened.

1. Engineering incompetence.

2. Mgmt pressure.

3. Engineering failure. As in legitimately attempted, but missed the mark.

Considering how this company has operated, for decades, it's fairly simple to point to Option 2 as the most likely culprit. Option 1 is possible, but unlikely, since there are a number of engineers involved. Option 3 is also possible and could still be the issue, but if we were betting, it would be option 2, because they've already proven, that's who they are.
I wonder if this is a cyber incident. Curious if any telecom folks know what the most likely explanation for an event like this would be, and what telltale signs/symptoms might first indicate this was caused by something nefarious.
I'm using it happily in all projects I'm involved but I'm not writing code often.

It helps tremendously.

Also when you look what Google is doing internally: gpt might not be perfect right now, but I would try to keep up with testing/using it regularly enough to not loose sight.

It is a challenge for these models to generate images of counterintuitive or unusual situations that aren't depicted in the training set. For example, if you ask for a small cube sitting on top of a large cube, you'll likely get the correct result on the first attempt. Ask for a large cube on a small cube and you'll probably get an image of them side-by-side or with the small cube on top instead. The models can generalize in impressive ways, but it's still limited.
That’s kind of funny. Chinese and Taiwanese transplants call natural born Americans, whether black, white or latin, “foreigners” when speaking in Chinese dialects even while they live in America.

Current open source tools include pretty decent off the shelf segment anything based detectors. It leaves a lot to be desired, but you do layer-like operations automatically detecting certain concept and applying changes to them or, less commonly exporting the cropped areas. But not the content "beneath" the layers as they don't exist.

Any worry about counterfeit glasses? I recall during the last eclipse it was a bit tricky: product detail pages would often list some ISO numbers or whatever, but no reason to trust that, so instead you could find a short list of manufacturer names on some highly reputable website (maybe a government or health site?) but then don't use Amazon due to the commingling problem...

On my Ubuntu machines, `man rev` indicates that it came with a package called util-linux, so it seems like it might actually considered even more essential than coreutils. Funny enough, that manpage lists `tac` under its "See Also" section, so maybe these two packages are tied together at the hip.

You describe a really clever use case for rev. On the surface, my intuition was that reversing, cutting, and reversing again wouldn't work if you had escape sequences, but I suppose that's a moot point with cut!
I was referring to 'safety'. how the hell can an image generation model be dangerous? we had software for editing text, images, videos and audio for half a century now.

I love it that Paolo says that Medley is his preferred environment. I try Medley periodically, and for me in modern times, Emacs with SBCL or LispWorks fits my needs better.

I was fortunate enough to have had a Xerox 1108 Lisp Machine purchased for me in 1982. I loved it with InterLisp-D but a few years later I started running it in Common Lisp mode, and the 1.5 megabytes of RAM in my 1108 was not really adequate.

In any case, the Medley developers make it easy to try Medley so give it a try.
