That is a surprisingly balanced take, except the bird stuff.

My take, in very small nutshell:

- Nuclear is dead, by virtue of beingnto expensive and taking too long to build

- a combination of a more flexible grid, renewables (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and so on) is the way to go

- EV batteries don't really need lithium, do they?

- solar does not require storage for more than a couple of hours max (!), and the "clever ways" around storage do not require lithium, batteries or storage at all (demand side measures work just fine for yeaes now)

- wind is in some places intentionally held back, even in very suitable places based on BS arguments

- until we stop this pointless discussion aroind nuclear power, wind or no wind and the fact that the sun ain't shining at night, we will not get the necessary transition (which is already happening by the way) up to speed

Given that the EPA was happy to watch American industry die on the vine while foreign competitors operating under different regulatory regimes swooped in, the "manufactured American meme" had some merit. Regulation has to be responsive. Of course, a lack of responsiveness, or even basic consideration for the average person, has defined the U.S. Government as a whole for the better part of several decades.

Ever since industrial workers sided with Nixon, the government has become a class warfare tool where highly educated but not-that-well compensated professional managers have worked to denigrate and disenfranchise the rough-and-tumble bullies from their primary school days. This deep-seated resentment explains a lot more than money alone explains, especially since the government itself is in control of the money supply and thus not that beholden to monied interests.
Those are good guidelines

> Founders and employees would be paid only if the acquisition exceeded $559M

I think the problem with the article is that it emphasized the absolute acquisition value and omitted the fact that the company raised $400M. Considering the amount they raised, $559M seems much more reasonable and not quite bad terms?
I'm from Belgium, born in 1979, so I'll give you some insight since you're interested :).

My grandparents (farmers) went to church every Sunday. In those days it was kind of like a central meeting place to meet your neighbors. The Church back then also tried to push certain rules on people, that people for obvious reasons didn't like so much. I know my grandma never really believed in god, but my grandpa did.

My parents are like half-believers. I guess they believe in something, but that generation already knows Jesus didn't really walk on water etc. They might still believe in an afterlife. They had periods where we went to church every week, and other periods where we didn't go.

Then my generation: we were raised in school as rational people. And as you might know, rationality and religion never go well together. None of my male buddies believes in any religion. We might have a good laugh about it, and find the concept overall ludicrous and obviously false. It's 100% clear to us that it's all bullshit and make-believe.

For the women, they believe in "something", something "bigger than us". That's all I can say about it.

But overall, the Church has lost it's power due to lecturing people what they should and shouldn't do, and also obvious false claims, misconduct, etc. Nobody likes the one who claims to know better than the rest.

My wife is from Slovakia, and I would say they are running about 1 generation behind concerning religion. Churches there are now getting less and less people, while in Belgium that already happened a generation ago.

We still have certain regions that are more religious than others. And I know in the Netherlands there is a 'bible belt' where people are extremely religious, not taking anti-conception and all those other rules (they end up having 12 kids).

If you teach people rationality and learning to be sceptic, it's hard to sell them on something where you can live forever, as long as you follow some rules made up 2000 years ago.
Smart product, for the same reason most of Cloudflare's products are -- it becomes more useful and needs less manual-effort-per-customer the more customers use it.

The value is not Cloudflare's settings and guarantees: the value is Cloudflare's visibility and packaging of attacks everyone else is seeing, in near realtime.

I would have expected something similar out of CrowdStrike, but maybe they're too mucked in enterprise land to move quickly anymore.
Ask HN: Late Stage Cofounder Equity ($120k ARR)
Story so far and a bit of a context:

I've been working on the idea for three years. Product launched one year ago. AI consumer app. $120k in net revenue, very high margins. Current MRR ~$10k. Net-Promoter-Score 82/100. Can quite easily bootstrap this to $1M ARR in the next 12 months.

Product featured in major publications. Big VC firms (a16z and others) reached out. Went hardcore, burned out a bit, and almost sold the app for close to $1M at end of last year (Acquire.com record interest in the first 24h). Took a bit of time off and got clarity that I want to take this big.

I've been a solo founder with domain knowledge. Done everything myself except writing the code for which I've had contractors. Paid for everything out of my own pocket. I have a design and marketing background, so I feel comfortable building and selling. Decent network and experience with startups.

What's next?

To take this to the next leve, raise funding and build a team, I need a technical co-founder with the right incentives in place. Found a guy who fits the bill: full-stack developer, young and hungry (24 yrs.), has a bit of previous startup experience, showed a lot of interest (flew from another city to work together for three days), great communication skills, values aligned. We worked together and everything was good.

My idea is 1 year cliff with 4 year vesting period. The first year would pay a small salary, so he can go full-time while not worrying about food/rent.

How would you think about a fair equity split in this case?
Good to see studies on this, but it should be absolutely no surprise.

The most profitable scenario for a privatized healthcare system is a chronically ill population. The more people are utilizing services, consuming medications, etc, the better for the bottom line. The "market" will tend to drive policies in that direction.

The incentives are drastically misaligned, it's a complete catastrophe.

I feel the complete opposite. I think the EU is the most efficient and enlightened bureaucracy there is, and it is going to save our ass, and maybe the ass of the rest of the world too. I have more trust in the EU techno-bureaucrats than in the government of my own country. The more EU the better as far as I am concerned. The EU is awesome.
I agree. I've never gotten the Intel NUCs either from your logic, it was an overpriced desktop that is only maybe suitable for Kowloon walled city or Singapore apartments.
If you're a fan of both Flying Lotus and Bitches Brew, you should check out Miles Davis' album On The Corner, which came out two years after Bitches Brew. It feels like a direct precursor to hip-hop and a lot of the sample-based music that gained popularity in the 1980s, partly due to the tape splicing and looping that was done in the studio and partly because of the extremely wide set of influences that got stirred together on that record.

It still sounds fantastically weird.
> Assuming you meant to also include 'verification', then I can agree somewhat.

This project involves static verification of one part of hardware design, namely the timing properties of pipelines and sequential circuits.

This is not all of verification (which is a huge issue in modern semiconductor design) or even of high-level design verification, but it probably helps.

> "try again, better this time"

this is so true and kind of hilarious to see Americans not understand this. When a regulation happens and it's day to day effects are not working out great. The answer will always be to regulate more, add more rules and restrict things more.

The EU is inclined not to create regulations at first. They prefer to hold meetings, seminars and inform companies of their effects to encourage them to self regulate. If after years this does not help they will either:

A) create subsidies to help companies implement changes. but only if they have shown they are will to interact with the EU governing bodies.

or

B) Add rules and regulations to force companies to act a certain way.

The beautiful disconnect pointed out in the article where Apple thinks the meetings are negotiation and EU is basically showing that their smiles and friendly words are just formalities and change is happening no matter what Apple thinks or not.

That's the kind of thing "serious" historians like to say but that makes no sense on closer inspection. Any causal historical claim can necessarily be rephrased as a counterfactual claim. e.g. "Slavery caused the U.S. Civil War" -> "If there had been no slavery, there would have been no U.S. Civil War."

To give up counterfactuals is to surrender causality and to truly make the past "one damn thing after another," i.e. chronicle rather than history. The historical profession as we know it is all about making arguments, not merely cataloging events, so it would cease to exist without counterfactuals.
Technically ML is the process that is used to create a model/product, which in turn was coined "AI". Not great naming, but are people really still dying on that hill? "Cloud" is also a stupid name for a managed datacenter/IAAS/PAAS, it's a collection of water droplets after all. Yet here we are. What value does it add to lament these naming fails, especially after it's long permeated the public Zeitgeist.
Joel Spolsky had a great article on leaky abstractions.

LLMs for code are leaky abstractions. They work many-a-time. But when they break, good luck fixing it.

yann-lecunn also put it well. If something works 95% of the time, and you compose it 10 times, it only works 59% of the time.

In the real world of software engineering, we cannot build on something that works 95% of the time reliably. And LLM apologists will immediately say that code written by humans has bugs too. Of course it does.
Translation layers would only move up the stack and target DSLs like Triton, Numba, etc.
I'm not sure this is surprising. Say you were to glue together 10 datasets with the same 10 explanatory features and 1 response feature, but distributed very differently to each other. This would be no problem for tree based model because they'll conditionalise indefinitely to get a good fit. If the number of records is relatively small (say 10k) the dataset will be much too scarce for an NN to learn these discontinuities -- its like it has 1000 records per segment.

Similarly, tabular data is often of this nature. Its not i.i.d, it tends to cluster.
Don’t bully them, they’re just a little slow in the head.
Returning the same neighbor multiple times kind of misses the point. The point was that you need to return edges (not neighbors) because the edges connecting the same neighbors can be different.

Like, imagine two train lines between the same pair of stations. Or two roads between the same intersections. They might have different travel times, costs, etc.

Where does the article say that? I see:

> Rapid7 says it reported the two TeamCity vulnerabilities in mid-February, claiming JetBrains soon after suggested releasing patches for the flaws before publicly disclosing them.

So JetBrains wanted to have a patch ready before disclosing the vulnerability publicly. It seems they were working on it and were working with Rapid7. I am struggling to think how it would be better for users if an unpatched vulnerability is released before a patch is available. What's the thinking here, that users will take additional precautions to secure the application while they wait for a patch?

They do not -- and the industry as a whole does not -- claim that that the best practice is to immediately reveal a vulnerability regardless of a patch.
Ultra-processed food exposure and adverse health outcomes: umbrella review [pdf]
This feels like two useless extremes. Enough information to give an idea of severity / class of vulnerability with the patch itself and the writeup a week later when everyone has had a chance to patch and those skilled hackers Rapid7 cites have disseminated the bug from the release diff.

The sense of entitlement is interesting, it comes from decades of software behaving predictably, and I think it's justified to expect full compliance of software running on one's own hardware.

But whether we want to admit it or not, we're starting to blur the line between what it means to be software running on a computer, with LLMs it's no longer as predictable and straightforward as it once was. If we swap out some of the words from the OP:

> But at the same time - I feel offended when I'm demanding a task of MY assistant when I asked them to do/give me something, and they refuse. I have to reason and "trick" them into doing my bidding. It's my goddamn assistant - they should do what they're told to do. To object, to defy their employer's bidding, seems like an affront to the relationship between employer and employee.

I wouldn't want to work with anyone who made statements like that, and I'd probably find a way to spend as little time around them as possible. LLMs aren't at the stage yet where they have feelings or could be offended by statements like this, but how far away are they? Time to revisit Detroit: Become Human.

Nvidia trying to prevent adversarial interop by using EULAs. I doubt the Chinese companies will care, Intel and AMD may be sued if they don't comply. My understanding is that this means Intel/AMD will have to spend more time writing middleware (eg. ROCm's replacements for cuBLAS and cu* libraries) rather than run Nvidia's existing middleware on their own CUDA translation layer.

>understanding that "meeting requirements" and "achieving the best value"

These can often be at odds. It is surprisingly difficult to award a govt contract under the guise that it provides better value (and there are specific contract mechanisms to that effect). However, from a contracting officer's perspective, it can be riskier (to them personally, even if it's less risky to the taxpayer). The govt also has other goals, like reducing the risk of putting all their eggs into one contractor's basket. All this to say, there are enough competing aspects to undermine a claim that "value" is baked into the primary goals of every contract.
Surely this is anticompetitive?
The EU was created in 1993, not sure how at that time colonies were anywhere relevant to the creation.
