I’m an LP in all of Calm’s funds. At the time I invested (and still today), I didn’t care about returns as long as they made progress towards the goal - namely, helping more people start successful businesses who wouldn’t otherwise be able to.

Thar said, the funds are performing well. As an LP, I’m happy with the returns even independent of the goal.

I didn’t know Tyler until I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18338665 on HN. At the time, Calm was called Earnest Capital. I emailed him and ended up investing (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19154082).

> Tilt-Shift lenses are great and I own one but ... just like many things in photography now-a-days, computation can do much of this.

No it can't. You can not reliably tilt the plane of focus, something that precisely the tilt-shift lens does.

> No, it's not perfect just like an iPhone doesn't take as a good a picture as a high-end Canon/Nikon/Sony.

iPhone actually does very middle of the road pictures. You can never beat a Canon/Nikon/Sony simply because you do not have the sensor size. I am not even going to try to bring metering discussion here.

> And even on a large screen (my 65" TV) they still look great at a glance.

Depends on the viewing distance. Put ink on paper, and then we will talk.

> Let me change the perspective live while I'm taking the picture. IIRC I found apps that do this but they want $10-$20 a month. Here's hoping Apple and Google add it to the default camera apps. This could be even better because given computational photography the phone can take 10-20 shots at 1000fps and then merge them for higher res in the areas where there's less censor pixels per arc angle.

No, you are wrong. When you are shifting, you actually move over the "sensor" in the focus circle, not merely do a cropping gizmo like apps do.

If you want to really understand why view cameras still whip ass and tilt shift lenses are relevant, try taking photograph of a tall building and see how the edges are not parallel and if you try to correct that in software, you will see distortions.

Blackstone wrote approvingly of constitutional arrangements under which ‘each branch [is] armed with a negative power, sufficient to repel any innovation which it shall think inexpedient or dangerous’ (Commentaries, Introduction, § 2). Of course, the branches were different.

The Supreme Court is superficially, by nomenclature, an Americanism. But I am yet to see any convincing argument that its jurisprudence has meaningfully been Americanised. It was in the Appellate Committee, not the Supreme Court, that in R (Jackson) v Attorney General Lord Steyn, Lady Hale and Lord Hope in obiter expressed some doubt as to the Diceyan notion of parliamentary sovereignty. The independence of the Appellate Committee was not new. It was, perhaps, rather casually treated (‘Prologue’, Stevens, The independence of the judiciary) and under-theorised. But no non-law Lord has tried to vote since the 1880s. Reference to judicial independence is hardly a novelty.

Have British jurisprudence and constitutional discourse been Americanised in substance? Perhaps, but you make no, and hardly even advert to, such an argument.

That's a very defensive interpretation of the events. All of the parties involved have complex motivations, as is made evident by whatever-the-fuck just happened over the past 24 hours.

Apple's instigating act was a last-minute reversal on the eve of the DMA, it was never going to go unnoticed. Right or wrong, an inquiry was issued and Epic's complaint was resolved - it's up to Apple to "respond" now. Despite your logic, I don't think it would be wise for Apple to see this as an opportunity to flex. Europe is not going to change their mind, and punishing Epic isn't worth the money they would make Apple anyways. It's less about flexing at this point, and more envisioning what a smart path forward even looks like for Apple in a post-DMA reality.

> The DMA doesn’t have provisions that would force parties to enter into an agreement

> Are we to believe that they’ve lost their appetite for their favorite meal?

So? Apple is seeing things if they think any of this will (or should) stop a motivated competitor. Turning this into bloodsport does not benefit the butchering pig, Apple's reversal here is easily explained as an act of self-preservation. Their initial stance was hardly defensible unless you could feel the $AAPL weighing down your performance index. Crushing Epic is not a reasonable goal given the extraordinary legal danger it exposes them to.

The Apple shareholders are not having their eyes light up with dollar-signs in light of the recent response. This is a dangerous and petty road to walk, with ostensibly no financial benefit and the possibility of setting a negative precedent.
That’s how investors work, nothing new.

Ghosting can happen at any stage, even after what may feel like a good pitch.

On the other hand if they actually get back and provide feedback, in case of a no, make a note of that investor as they are probably one of the nicer one.
I am generally pretty fast with lenses that were designed to do manual focus, like Zeiss Otus and Milvus lenses for Canon (For example). Lenses that come with autofocus does not have a long enough throw to be able to perform manual focus quickly and accurately, but it is definitely doable.

Excellent article! Very well written, good explanations, useful graphics.

I first did tilt-shift photography as a teenager before I even knew what it was called, when I inherited a crown graphic from my grandfather, and I noted that I could change the plane of the lens, and could see on the ground glass viewfinder what the effect was. Had great fun running around Italy with a backpack full of Polaroids and a far more precious supply of 4x5 colour positives, taking architectural photographs. Had less fun developing them all at home later - the colour positive process is not easy.

I’ve since tried tilt shift with my DSLR but it just ain’t the same - it gives good enough results, but not much that you can’t do in post - whereas looking at some of the prints from the crown graphic, the quality and the… I don’t know, quality… of the images is different - better.

I guess my view is that it’s worthwhile with wet photography, but not with digital.
The computer will work for a long time, but in terms of updates, the M2 machines will stop being updated before the M3s - but that difference is just a year or so I think.

Depending on how much fiddling you/she wants to do with it, you may be able to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to install a newer version of macOS on her 2011 machine, and keep using it. It can breath some new life into an old MBP or MBA.

Nicole Seligman's husband Joel Klein famously prosecuted Microsoft with anti-trust in 2001. Time heals all wounds as they say.

Interestingly, soon after Seligman left Sony Entertainment in 2016 it started compelling PlayStation devs to censor character depictions and dialog - by 2018 this policy from California HQ was even imposed on long-loyal Japanese studios who made games solely for the Japanese market. I wonder what her opinion is on AI bias/safety given what happened at her old company.
Both can be true, but the structural forces (described by snowwrestler) predominate the influence of parliamentary expertise. Parliamentarianism is a game in itself, and it's only effective insofar as actual politics are being done, which is rarely the case on the floor of the US congress, which is more like a theatre stage where politics have usually been preempted by economics relations.
I wonder if Kagi would have been better or if it also had the bad results first.
It would be really difficult to find an experienced C++ developer these days who isn't comfortable with the basics of CMake, and that's all the Pico SDK demands from you.

That was my thought. I’d love to read his stuff, but I’m not willing to use twitter/x to do so.
It’s funny because you really have to have a lot of experience with the language to articulate these issues. C++ is the worst language, besides all the other ones, when it comes down to performance and third party library availability.

I’ll just throw in my own pet peeves here.

The existence of .h files is still a big problem. I’m not aware of another language (besides c of course) that basically forces you to type the same letters twice in slightly different ways in order to expose a public api.

I also don’t understand why there’s still no way to print an enum value.

However there is some progress. I think std::span fixes the issue with the vector of const vs const vector. The Eigen library gives a (not perfect, but very convenient) matrix type. And I think I heard something about modules?

I think there are certainly some people like this, but only some.

I think there is these 2 things to consider:

Obviously this will change nothing for most people. Baseline, 99.9% people will not be doing anything different today than yesterday. I think the way Apple acts is ridiculous and outrageous, but I already thought that and already don't have an iphone. My wife doesn't even know who Epic is or anything about ios developers or 30% or any of that, and nothing is changing about her iphone. Nothing changes in either case.

But there will be some subset of current Apple customers who see these actions as exposing an attitude they don't want to reward, enough to stop being Apple customers. Maybe it's the latest thing that adds to the constant stream of other criticisms that they've always heard but have been just excusing or dismissing but eventually they see something they decide is "see enough smoke, maybe time to stop doubting there's a fire". It's not a large group but not zero either.

But will there ever be anyone that goes the other way? Is there any such thing as a current Android user who sees Apple do this, and specifically because of the way Apple treats developers, that convinces them to switch TO Apple? Well there's at least one of every imaginable freak out there but there certainly can't be a class of these.
It honestly looks like something that will be available on eBay for under $200 in packs of two, at some point.
They are both fine. I got an M2 mini with base disk and memory. The ancient 27 inch iMac had a 7200 rpm terabyte disk and more memory, IIRC, and this $600 computer laps it in every way. ( The display quit and I may yet have it fixed ) A great reason for modular computers. I've had a lot of mini's over time.
I store all I can on external SSD's. (Sneakernet is the fastest network of all, but I don't currently use it)

Most people do prefer all in one's of course. I stopped using the 2010 or so MBA. Still works. The iPad Pro is my laptop, with keyboard, trackpad and third party mouse. I use it for musical scores and showing off photos from the Nikons pretty exclusively. Size and portability matter. For these two uses, a laptop configuration is less suitable for me.

Desktops and laptops are still hundreds of times more efficient and useful to me than any mobile OS.

Even with the gamut of goodies.

If your mom upgrades so infrequently, it's like cars. The newer model will obsolete later.

My phone and some other systems fell off support, and can't get software upgrades. (Other than Linux, of course)

I suspect that's the rationale, even if the M series all seem interchangeable. Or maybe it will run out of horsepower later, as software gets even more demanding.

I doubt that she'll need to count cores and GPU's.
I doubt there’s a precedent for a CEO of a “non-profit” effectively answerable to no-one and able to use it as their personal fiefdom. It’s basically a company without shareholders. I’m curious how this will play out legally.

Certainly, no one with any sense will be “donating” any money in OpenAI without some strong and specific guarantees of what they’re going to be getting in return. So it can in no way can be considered a non-profit any more.

And if the situation is allowed to stand then I think future donors to any non-profits might think more carefully about what their money will be used for.
Growing up we had a dog, and once our dog went after a big moose in the yard. The moose turned and tore after our dog, who stumbled or fell over himself in terror - the moose was running so fast that it jumped over our dog, who was unharmed (physically, at least).

I’ve lived around moose most of my life and don’t mind getting close, but you have to read their body language.

>Do you think these trade-offs are actually meaningful?

Yes, and it can be frustrating when your person want as a user may be different than what will be best for the most people. I do think there are a couple issues. The first is that reevaluating something, making a different tradeoff, and changing the product can be very expensive. Even if it's not be expensive alone, the opportunity cost may be higher and engineers could be working on something more impactful. The second issue is that the product will often target the needs of the majority of needs which means that the needs of power users may not be listened to very well. The solution to these issues are competition and extensibility. The work of making a version of the product for niche users can be done by a niche company and that can work out.

Looks very promising. Recently, I built an asynchronous DAG executor in Python, and I always felt I was reinventing the wheel, but when looking for a resilient and distributed DAG executor, nothing was really meeting the requirements. The feature set is appealing. Wondering if adding/removing/skipping nodes to the DAG dynamically at runtime is possible.

We did it because there are methods that should be accessed which don't map to `args` cleanly. For example, we let users call `context.log`, `context.done` (to determine whether to return on cancellation) or `context.step_output` (to dynamically access a parent's step output). Perhaps there's a more pythonic way to do this? Admittedly this is a pattern we adapted from Go.

Has anyone else read the reporting on the non-profit's corp structure?

> OpenAI also created a subsidiary of For-Profit-LP, OpenAI LLC (let’s call that “For-Profit-LLC”), of which Microsoft is a minority owner and For-Profit-LP is the majority owner. For-Profit-LLC’s operating agreement cautions that “it would be wise to view an investment in [For-Profit-LLC] in the spirit of a donation, with the understanding that it may be difficult to know what role money will play in a post-AGI [artificial general intelligence] world.”[0]

I really have no idea why companies like Microsoft are putting so much money into a for profit entity, and calling it like a donation. Am I just skeptical or is everyone winking at each other, and acting too cute by half?

Interesting. They only got 'some' which means MS are compartmenting and not putting all their eggs in one basket, one would hope. The best technique of securing intellectual property and business secrets is compartmenting, and although some data gets exfil'd it's not everything. I just hope it doesn't get weaponized for 0days.

FWIW Supermicro slides work with those 4U Rosewill cases. I was pushed in that direction because my rack is just slightly narrower than 19 inches.

Honestly I don't mind wasting 1 or 2U between machines because the tops of server cases function as great "temporary" shelves.

I do agree the meme of used enterprise deals is completely overblown, unless you actually want 15+ compute nodes and are prepared to suffer power, heat, and noise for the density. Honestly I wish they made those Rosewill cases in 5U so I could put any full height cooler in there instead of being somewhat restricted.
Kinda. We've invented many things to control and/or kill bees.
This depends on the SDK - both Typescript and Golang support a `registerAction` method on the worker which basically let you register a single step to only run on that worker. You would then call `putWorkflow` programmatically before starting the worker. Steps are distributed by default so they run on the workers which have registered them. Happy to provide a more concrete example for the language you're using.

GPUs may not be great for latency.
In the context of coroutines, the nice thing about this is that – as a catch-all trap – it works much like an interrupt that is internal to that specific object. (Of course, only when the GUI thread allows for event processing.) On the one hand, this is pretty much the essence of what events should be about: invoking a dormant object (or context) by the means of a message. On the other hand, this inherent locality may pose a problem for any framework. (And – in the age of AI generated images – on the third hand, this is why I personally don't like frameworks that much.)
