But is this not the right thing to do? A kernel is a complex piece of software. Changes in one place can have very non-obvious consequences in other places (think of changes that cause deadlock because locks are applied in the wrong order). Of course, it is theoretically nice if I know that a change to e.g. documentation or fixing a typo in a comment is not affecting the Ethernet driver or the virtual file system layer, but this is down to the architecture of the project - this is not something that a version control system can prove.

Given that, it seems desirable to me that the source tree has as few different variations, permutations how to get there, and so on, as possible, since this makes testing and things like bisecting for something like a broken lock or another invariant much easier.

What keeps me from Mac is some people report some weird incompatibility issues with third-party things. Like external mouse, keyboard, monitors. All of my mac user friends complained about this to some extent.

Plus, on my laptop I just simply upgraded the RAM with another 16GB of RAM which will give me some breathing room for at least another year.

How many times has a startup shown you the full cap table? Was this at the very early stage, before raising money, or even after funding rounds?

The cap table contains names of individuals. Most founders I know were reluctant to share the exact details. At the same time it's impossible to value option or equity grants without knowing valuation estimates, shares outstanding, round sizes, and liquidation preferences. Those get shared more readily.
Given those points and given that fan control has been around for A G E S, the collective OSS community need only blame itself for the lack of an open project that has parity with FC.

I don't think there's anything "special" here. You have the same problem currently where finding the canonical location of a repository is done via some out-of-band social network or website.

On GitHub, you also can look at the stars to give you extra confidence, and on Radicle the equivalent is the seed count for a given repository.
You need to look at the real incentives in a system, not pick out what you would like to happen.

Large multi-national profit-focused companies are responsible for your food. (To be more precise, something like 60% of calories consumed by western nations is produced by a small number of international companies... I think my point is clear enough.)

Their overriding goal is to make money. It is not to make healthy food.

They do not comprehensively test new ultra-processed ingredients before using them in foods. This is partly why there is a cycle of "oh no, X is bad for you" and "don't worry, we can fix all of this by using Y" and "oh no, Y is bad for you". The test is live, on everyone, happening right now.

There are no general regulations preventing them to do whatever it takes to reduce the cost of "food", so long as they are not obviously killing people. There are many "slightly bad" side effects of this that will pass unnoticed until investigated with great effort and cost.

That's what this review is.

You are finding out now, after the fact.

Don't misjudge the cause though. It's not the ingredients. It's the system that underpins the entire (food) industry.

Just having a high frame-rate without (excessive) motion blur works pretty well. Perhaps it's not 100% realistic without eye movement but it's at least not as distracting as forced motion blur. I'm also not entirely sure that your eyes won't saccade in this case as they can lock onto moving objects just fine without body movement.

None of the prompts being demoed were offensive, only the outputs, so that wouldn't have helped. As to why they didn't test the outputs of prompts like "images of German soldiers in 1943", that's probably due to the belief in symbolic determinism that underlies their behavior.

The hard left is a big fan of the belief that reality comes to reflect its symbolic representation, not that symbolic representations reflect reality. In such belief systems depicting something symbolically can make it come true. An example of this in earlier eras was the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. This shows up as changing the race/gender/sexuality of people in art forms like job ads or on screen in an attempt to change job demographics in reality, but it can also show up in other ways. For example if you believe in symbolic determinism, then drawing Nazis is dangerous because doing that actually creates Nazis in reality (or in weaker forms of the belief, increase the probability of people's beliefs becoming more Nazi-like).

Remember that 50% of their effort went into stopping people drawing pictures of white men even when that would be highly realistic, because they believe that depicting us directly creates problems in the real world. For such people testing prompts expected to produce only white men would not only be risky in a careerist "what would HR say" sense, but it's perceived as risky in its own right! The very act of testing could make the world worse. That's the whole reason they're trying to stop users doing it in the first place! It's also why they constantly bring up physical safety even when talking about symbols.

So the Gemini team have ignored the actual feedback they got and decided that the error was making groups of bad people diverse. They're going to fix Nazis and Vikings to either refuse to depict them at all, or to show them as all white men (because those groups are bad), but ignore all the cases where groups of good people get incorrectly diversified. And of course they won't do anything about the text. This is all predictable given their beliefs about the nature of reality.

Staying a couple of days at each place would mean hotels/hostels which would greatly increase the total cost of the endeavour. Anyway you can just return to any city at any time, so it probably isn't as important to explore the whole place the first time you visit.

> Which tbh is a bad thing. Just because change a doesn't textually touch change b doesn't mean they don't interact.

A good example for this is code which grabs several locks and different functions have to do that in the same order, or a deadlock will result. A lot of interaction, even if changes might happen in completely different lines.

And I think that's generally true for complex software. Of course it is great if the compiler can prove that there are no data race conditions, but there will always be abstract invariants which have to be met by the changed code. In very complex code, it is essential to be able to do bisecting, and I think that works only if you have a defined linear order of changes in your artefact. Looking at the graphs of changes can only help to understand why some breakage happened, it cannot prevent it.

Why? If VCs invested $416M across 2009 (starting with the Series A) through 2017 and the company sold for $465M in mid-2018, how much value increase over the funding amounts did the company generate via its employees?

The Series E itself was 2/3 of the total funding and was about 3 years before acquisition. If we assume all of the investments happened 3 years before (rather than ranging from 3 years to almost 11 years, that's a return of under 4% per year. Investors in Fan Duel would have been just about as well off to pay down their mortgage at nearly historic low mortgage rates rather than invest in risky startups.

If I invest $400M in your company and you sell it for $400M, I think we can all agree that you should get your paycheck for the time you worked at the company, but you didn't create any value from the company.

That failure to create value on the part of FanDuel isn't anyone's "fault" per-se, but it's also not something that means that an equity payday has been earned by anyone.
I would spend my vacations with my grandparents in Uruguay in the 1980s and 1990s. The shops had all sorts of micros, from Amigas to Coleco Adams.

There was a small Amiga shop on 18 de Julio Avenue and I once took a friend from Brazil there and he was mesmerised; I couldn't get us out of there. I remember the owner was called Juan; he was a nice chap and we talked all afternoon.
Brave move, but I wonder how he keeps or makes new friendships and deeper relationships. Maybe this is fine for a while, but people need people (not just text in a chatroom), and I hope he has an exit strategy from this lifestyle, for this reason.
so, living in a home I own makes me lack some sort of freedom? If yes, what would be it?
This is basically my PhD thesis proposal, I don't think there's any fundamental technological problem here, just that for a graph to be efficient to process you need high-level optimisations that can take mathematical properties of graphs into account. For that you need to either reimplement a compiler into your framework, or be integrated into an existing compiler, both obviously take a lot of work.

Some comments here mention GraphBLAS, which is the big breakthrough in decoupling the layout of the graph from an efficient implementation of an algorithm, but none mention MLIR-GraphBLAS [0] which is the most promising integration into a compiler that I've seen.

I still think it's early days, I wouldn't throw in the towel quite yet :)

Presumably Google doesn't want anyone looking for models that are actually "based". Bing doesn't do much better for those terms, but if I search "based linear transformer", Bing correctly gets this post as the first result, while Google ignores it completely.
Yeah from what I can see, the games industry is going through what the broader tech industry is, just dialled up to eleven.

C++ chose not to have bounds checking on span’s operator[] by default. Like with vector, approximately nobody will use .at().

Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are where programmers thought they don’t need a bounds check, so having this as a choice every time, with the safer option looking worse, is working against it.

A nice minimal built-in syntax for spans (like Rust’s slices) could be an incentive to keep the bounds checks, and eventually make bare pointer arithmetic stand out as riskier.
