If you have to go into the office once or twice a week (i.e., not full remote), then bring the drive to your office (assuming you have an assigned desk).

Heck, have a bunch and take one in and bring one back as a rotation scheme.
Just that thought did not come to my realisation
It is amazing that nobody can compete with google at search. Are the search engines in China and Russia as good respectively? I mean are they their countries version of Google search?

Macro-economy shows that EU is doing wrong as US companies outperform EU companies.
Wealth/power concentration isn't due to capitalism but due to human nature and society scale.

Even if success greatest factor is luck it still requires merit. By punishing success you're punishing people that put money into savings, that attempt to innovate and improve human society, that invest in promising areas. In the long term society will be stagnant. And I doubt that in the short term society will be more equal because forced distribution of wealth historically increases inequality.
Yeah there are, but it's hard to know where you are in. So best just to have fun & create great stuff. If focused on making people's lives better you never really go wrong in the longterm.

I disagree. To prove systemic issues within a culture is quite difficult. And people are justifiably defensive because they have become suspects. Ironic, considering the fight against racism and sexism is a fight against prejudice. So the cure is actually worsening the problem.

But no, people in power in corporations don't need the consent of anyone working under them. There is also a wrong culture where people get on witch hunts towards allegedly blasphemous behavior.
> don't waste time microptimising parts of your code which aren't bottlenecks anyway

The irony is that doing so barely optimises anything. The optimisations aren't so much premature as... Not optimisations. I'm a big fan of Casey Muratori's video where he compares 3 things commonly called optimisation:

- actual optimisation, which is detailed work involving profilers and evidence

- fake optimisation, like using fast inverse square root in a web app because you heard it was faster

- non-pessimization, where you just try to write straightforward code without introducing major performance regressions without good reason

"Premature optimisation" is probably just "fake optimisation".
I'm not so sure. Taking the displays at $228, these are specialist components that require integration work – I don't think one can walk into the Sony offices and ask to buy one (1) of them. That would then suggest that the "sticker price" is accounting for a certain level of scale, and while Apple are high volume in general, this device is not particularly high volume. Also volume discounts on components such as this don't tend to be that significant as to achieve a 33% reduction on price.
Noble savage doesn't mean that you think the environment of the past was better than the present, it means that you think the people were better before being corrupted by civilisation. I.e. it's about thinking that the changing environment under progress corrupts humans, which is the opposite of what the person you are replying to is saying and is exactly what the person they're replying to is saying...

Noble savage = humans fundamentally corrupted by civilisational progress
This is going to happen. It's happening already. For example the McDonalds App (that you use to order and pay) gives custom offers to people.

> I don’t even understand what the author wants here. There is no such thing “truly serverless”

The author says what they want. It's literally their next sentence:

"As in, I don't want to think about future resource needs, I just want things to magically handle it."

and they have four bullet points with examples of what this means to them earlier.

I think it's fair to argue about the desirability, achievability, etc of this. I don't think it's fair to act as if the author is just spewing buzzwords without explanation.

Certain technologies have been found to remove PFAS from drinking water, especially Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), which are the most studied of these chemicals. Those technologies include activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange resins, and high-pressure membranes. These technologies can be used in drinking water treatment facilities, in water systems in hospitals or individual buildings, or even in homes at the point-of-entry, where water enters the home, or the point-of-use, such as in a kitchen sink or a shower.
The US doesn't need reasons to invade Yemen. In fact, the weak media coverage makes me suspect that they don't want to escalate by not making a big deal out of it.
Google will do nothing. I’ve tried for over a decade to get a fake city removed from Google Maps. I’m making the name up but imagine you have a neighborhood near you called Northfield. When google maps started someone from the neighborhood thought it would be great to make up city with the same name.

No amount of complaining will remove it. It only exists on Google maps, not on Apple Maps, Waze, Openstreet, or the various garmin/navitronics outdoor/boating navigation apps I have.
They didn't make a business using an open source project; they turned their open source project into a monetized non open source project.
Examples from the conversations of that time:

> ...we want closures to capture the values we rendered with, and to keep "seeing" those values forever. That's really important for concurrent mode where a notion of current value doesn't really exist. Hooks design models a component as being in many non-clashing states at the same time, instead of switching the "current" state (which is what classes model well). People don't really need to think about these details, but they're motivating the design a lot. [0]

Not necessarily, the majority of them probably wouldn't have ended up in anything tech related. But they probably did end up back in China, so hopefully it would be hard to demand payment at least?
Does this 90s-era theory predict the popularity of JavaScript?
It's not really. And 8x7B is not a 7B model, it's a MoE that's closer to 60B that has to be kept in memory, and uses 2 experts per token so it runs at 15B speeds.

All of the current frameworks support MoE and sharding among GPUs so I don't see what the issue is.
Unless they can come up with financing options. A lot more people might be willing to pay $150 a month for a new VR headset every couple of years.
> This is also why larger healthcare orgs are reticent to work with smaller, less well capitalized startups in the ecosystem. The liability alone should something go wrong would potentially vaporize your company

While this sounds very dramatic, aren't the "less well capitalized startups" in your scenario the ones responsible for their own HIPAA violations, and not the larger healthcare orgs?
Do most data-driven decisions need to be made daily?

Sometimes you just need to see the data once or month or once a quarter to make a decision. Sometimes, you just need to see the data once! (an ad hoc analysis in Excel)

We should think of the rate at which we need to act on decisions, and it need not always be a frenetic "now, now, now"
If you had heard of them they wouldn't be doing their job right
In my experience, it's because of the order in which math is taught. I didn't _really_ learn about proofs until college, and even then, not until after my first basic calculus course.

Then, if you wanted an explanation for your example, it'd be a proof. The proof is not hard ( see [0] ), but how can one understand a proof if they've never been taught about proofs?

This is what I've seen over and over again. If we want folks to understand what they're looking at, the meat is waiting in the fridge for us. It seems to me that instructors don't have the time or inclination to teach these things at all, which is unfortunate because of how foundational it is to really understanding what you're looking at when it comes to math.

If you're interested in learning how proofs work, and you've missed out on a course like I did, I'd recommend "Mathematical Proofs", by Albert D. Polimeni, Gary Chartrand, and Ping Zhang. You should be able to find a paperback for some bucks.

Usually mathematics texts are thick and difficult to follow for me, I'm not the brightest, but this one was easy to follow and I worked through the brunt of it in a month of concentrated effort by myself. It really set me up for understanding how proofs are structured and why, and how to reason about them on my own.

Sure, open source is not a business model, it defines a set of software programs that respect some rules: the OSD [1].

But you can certainly have a business model around open source software.

And yet many people have far more actual power over people's lives, for example many elected and/or appointed officials.

If a cop in my city wants to ruin your life, there's a chance it'll be easier for them to do so than it is for a rich individual, not to mention the mayor of the city.

And unlike a billionaire, who'd have to spend money to actually "control people's lives" and is therefore limited by some constraint , an elected official gets to control people's lives with no constraint at all.
TBH, in 2018 I already used the things he was complaining about, so my opinion still stands.
Best feature of OpenBSD, that is NOT found in Linux, is the ability to do initialize, manage, replicate, and offline SDD/HDD drives of different RAID controllers using a single CLI command.

The superuser on iOS is Apple. Apple can do whatever they want, to any iPhone, whenever they want.

Haskell is a great language. However, when you want to build production grade software it’s the wrong language. Specially when it comes to a complicated piece of software like the compiler for a novel chip. I can tell you for a fact it has always being the wrong choice (specially in the case of Groq).
That’s a completely normal question to ask. It’s something people ask on Reddit or just Google when they move to a new area.
Things like this are actually done for very valid reasons, but these easter eggs are a really neat way to do it.

The reason? making an accurate map from a territory is (or used to be) difficult and takes time. Introducing fictional stuff in a map is a way to:

- figure out which of your cartographer competitors are copying you

- bring the case to court (factual data isn't protected by copyright, fictional data is).

Even Google Maps add a few fictional elements, but they're much more boring, like adding ghost streets in rural areas.

Isn’t that this company’s entire business? I’d be surprised if they were anywhere that far off on the first question most people would have, and most of those parts are quite specialized so you aren’t going to see volume discounts unless the market grows significantly.
Bit of a mystery why we're focusing on Japan. Global fertility is below replacement rate [0]. China and South Korea seem to be more extreme cases.

We seem to have stumbled over the solution to overpopulation. Wealth. Not many people saw that coming. In some ways, this is the best possible outcome as it beats war, famine, plague and dealing with the tax office as ways to conclude the story of civilisations.

EDIT And obviously I'm exaggerating. There are a bunch of countries still having lots of kids; but this is hardly a Japanese phenomenon.

> I think most people will agree the threshold to be in the few millions. Some will argue for 5 and few for 50, but nobody can produce $1B of value. Take control of it, sure, but produce, no.

That is just, on the face of it, false. Did Stephen King not produce millions and almost a billion in value? Despite writing books that have been read by millions of people, have turned into super successful movies, including some movies considered some of our best art?

Looks like a useful step towards 3D displays.

By stacking a bunch of these transparent panels on top of each other, you could display 3D objects without needing 3D glasses:

----o----- Layer1
---o-o---- Layer2
---o-o---- Layer3
----o----- Layer4
(etc)

The depth resolution would be kind of crap, but there'd probably still be uses for it. Maybe layers wrapped as cylinders?

Pretty sure there's an existing crowd trying something like this a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EA2FQXs4dw

They're taking a different approach, though using a stack of panels too.

Well, there's a vicious cycle with this sort of tech.

When sales are low, nobody releases great new applications for it. When nobody releases great new applications for it, sales stay low.
Yeah, but as the customer, I like getting the reason-for-outage reports that say "our CO tech was performing maintenance and accidentally bumped your fiber causing the outage".

Sometimes we need a reminder that people are human and make fuckups.
> Personally, I believe the Christian belief of Jesus being "theanthropos" (fully God and man) helped lead to the modern European ideals of human rights and eventual elimination of slavery.

How do you reconcile the millennium between that schism and the development of the modern European ideals of human rights or the eventual elimination of slavery? Jesus was theologically theanthropos for the entirety of the colonization era and the triangular trade period.
Manage what? The OP talks about SSD USB sticks and external HDDs. You plug it in, format it, maybe enable some encryption once at the beginning, and that's it.

Upon what is this based in a world where no long-term investors exist?

Even in the "DCF of dividends plus NPV of terminal enterprise value" model, the last is dependent on long-term investors. (For the high number of tech and high-growth companies who pay no dividends, the first term in the valuation is $0.)

When writing code in any language, readability and maintainabilty should always trump performance. Go is fast enough, if it's slow then it's more likely you need to rethink how you're solving the problem then optimize your code.

These conversations about "way back when" and attempting to compare tech opportunities from one time period to another, always seem to focus on the wild opportunities and forget about the equally insane constraints.

Please don't forget that in the late nineties, CPUs were measured in a few hundred MHz, RAM in tens of MBs, and network speeds were kilobytes per second.

FOSS was a new idea and most software cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. People PAID for compilers! Workstations cost many thousands and servers cost millions. These investments would be literally wiped out every year or two by the leading edge of Moore's law.

In the late nineties, I worked for a company that charged $3 million to a big brand to build a website with user forums. It took a year and more than 30 people to launch. We had to buy ~$1m worth of server hardware and fasten it into racks.

Every time constraints change, new opportunities emerge that either weren't possible or just didn't make sense before.

If you're looking for opportunities, keep an eye on observable, recent changes, especially those that haven't yet been broadly distributed.

Look for changes in constraints that are limiting large amounts of valuable activity.

Some random examples in the last 5-10 years (IMO) are:

- LLMs, obviously

- Shared, cloud infrastructure made it trivially inexpensive to launch new business ideas

- High speed computation has fallen in price so much that most applications don't even need cloud infrastructure anymore (IMO)

- The amount of trust many people have in big tech companies is at a nadir, this could be a great time to carve out a beach head in anything they do. Being perceived as trustworthy and NOT THEM could be enough to build a great business.

- Many people seem to feel that social media is net bad for us, figure out how to solve the same problem set (feeling engaged and connected?), with fewer negative trade offs.

- The electronics hobby market has exploded and made new hardware ideas possible, even if budget is limited.

There are a bunch of these kinds of observations that you're uniquely positioned to observe and dig deep on.

Most of them aren't viable, but the fun is in probing around at the edges of what's possible and learning. That's the thing that brings us closer to whatever will work.

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that when I'm waking up frustrated and unhappy most days, it has almost always been because I'm ignoring my conscience, which has been trying to tell me that I'm not pointed in the right direction.
