Unlike with F9, in this case they most probably had high-bandwidth telemetry all the way till the vehicle broke up (if the high-def video stream is anything to go by). So, they probably have a lot more data this time. Even the video can yield information - for example, given that the cameras were mounted on the flaps, they can probably back out the actuation angles from that.
Oops, misread.
but epigenetics is just DNA. it's state information stored directly in the DNA, or in directly attached machinery. from the perspective of learned models, those are just other features.

But realistically, the right source for transcription is the RNA in the cell, not the epigenetics. Nearly all cell type profiling is based on RNA. It's far easier and more reliable to interrogate the transcriptome than to try to gain info from epigenetic states.
encoder decoder vs decoder only
Hardware ring has nothing to do with "directly using the CPU", it controls what access level the program has.

Forget virtualisation. Compile a userspace program which just adds numbers into a stack variable. That program is running directly on the CPU in the unprivileged ring.

A userspace program in a VT-x virtual machine is exactly the same.

If those programs attempt privileged access then that access will fail and a trap is raised. That's what the CPU ring controls.
> As the minimum viable product approaches the complexity of a complete product, the difference between the two shrinks to the point that the concept of MVP isn't all that useful anymore. That's the actual case against Lean Startup in 2024.

I think this is an excellent way to summarize this.

I'm one of the anti-MVP persons out there, and my point is that more often than not people tend to use MVP as practice ship something half baked, not truly trying to build something viable or trying to validate anything. Then the response is crickets. In many professional domains, people are busy and not willing to spend time or evaluate solutions that are half way there to provide any value.

For startups with limited resources, more practical advice would be focus on building great core experience for a specific user group. You narrow the scope, build less but something better and different and shows the value for that group fast, whatever it takes.

You could call this a MVP but I'd just call it building a product people want to use. The MVP term is unnecessary.

Some ways maybe the success of Lean Startup also means that it's just a normal to build things iteratively. I don't think anyone is recommending here go back to the days shutting yourself in a basement for 5 years and then shipping 10,000 copies of it on a CD to all the RadioShacks.

They are rare (not unique), true, but I don't think they fail to recognize that. In fact, this post is the opposite of such failure. They're saying they're special because they choose to be--because they're clear on the tradeoffs and willing to make them.

There are plenty of other small, profitable, SAAS businesses out there, but you don't hear about them because they don't operate on the same scale (and they're not as outspoken).
I think this is really my favorite takeaway from the Cato Institute's study/ranking/index. Despite being #50 in personal freedom, Texas ranked #6 for most economic freedom. But even for things like "Personal travel freedom", half the sub-ranking was based on ALPR presence and seat belt laws. Somehow Texas ranked dead last for that, even though they allow people to ride in the back of pickup trucks without any seatbelt, and that's illegal in a lot of other states.

It's nice to see these comprehensive categorizations, where I can prompt myself to ask "How much do I care about this particular freedom vs. that one?"

Yes, making games depend on Steam-specific APIs will obviously make it more difficult to publish on other stores. But many games only publish to one store anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think the 30% cut Steam takes is justified, but they take it because the competition isn't there yet.

nice landing page. and docs too. design could be prettier but it does the job of showing the damn product which is all we want.

so this is like amplitude/heap/whatever but instead of manual tagging of events you use gpt4 for tagging? with a ui/pipeline for iteration.

candidly i doubt that you can build this faster/better than amplitude can clone you, but thats the joy of founding things, you have to overcome everyone's doubt including your own!

It ins't doing it though. It's splashing huge amounts of cash on performative BS like flashy SF office space (that's now sitting mostly unused) and not actually making products, even.

I'm torn on this. Exactly once have I gotten a recruiting email from someone that turned out to be a good match for me. That job literally changed my life.

But... every other recruiting email I've gotten has been at best something I just wasn't interested in, while the vast majority of them are so poorly targeted, I'm embarrassed for the recruiter for clearly not having a clue how to evaluate if a candidate is a good fit in even the most basic ways. All promising job prospects I've had (whether they worked out or not) came through connections, or active work on my part to seek out positions that interested me.

(Obviously everyone's experience differs; I see you mention downthread that you once found a great match from a cold recruiter call.)

So... did that one life-changing job come to me because of a privacy-minefield site like LinkedIn? I'm not sure how that in-house recruiter found me: it was a cold email to an address that I hadn't used in years, and it was just dumb luck that I signed into it a week after it was sent, which seems at odds with the usual way to get in touch with someone you've found through a job-network site.

I'm at a point where I don't think I really need to maintain a LinkedIn profile in order to achieve my employment goals... but a part of me is too afraid it'll be useful (or even critical) to something in the future, so I haven't deleted it. Meh.
I wish I was straw-manning. It'd be great if my description was an overly pessimistic caricature of a major political party. Unfortunately, it's not. It wasn't some political cartoon of people cheering on the deaths of the poor and sick. It was real people. I could understand why someone reading my description would think "wow what a perverse view of people this misanthrope has" -- if that person had no exposure to U.S. politics; never watched interviews with these people; never actually listened to the things they're actually saying. Not straw men. Real people.

The previous failure to differentiate between intakes was thus not confirmed. The estimated calorie expenditure per minute, excluding what was require for basal metabolism, was on an average 2-2 Cal. for light work, 2-7 for light to medium work, 2.6 for medium to medium heavy work and 3-8 for heavy work.

"Surface tension in water owes to the fact that water molecules attract one another, as each molecule forms a bond with the ones in its vicinity."

Surface tension is a bond that binds water mold together similar to how mortar holds bricks together in a wall.

Mortar doesn't make the brick solid, but it holds the bricks together.

People are reading bond in two different ways. Bond within a molecule vs bond between molecules.

This was pretty much my experience as well. I didn’t feel high or up when taking adderall. It was almost unnoticed while on it, but reflecting back on what I was able to accomplish during the day it clearly had an impact. After taking it for close to a year, I just stopped cold turkey and had zero issues with any withdrawal symptoms.

My brother has been known to take adderall recreationally. Apparently he would crush it up and snort it. He definitely gets a high from it. I’m not sure how much the difference in our experience is due to the delivery method versus differences in how our bodies processed it.

> Somebody will probably crack that problem in the next five years

Nothing in your list has really changed in the last 5 years. What makes you think we are significantly closer now?

NB: I'm not saying we aren't making strides in robotics. A lot of these problems are really tough though; smart people have been working hard on them for the last 4+ decades, and making some headway. We are definitely enjoying the benefits of that work, but I don't have any reason to think we're "nearly there"

What I do think is much improved in the last decade or so is the infrastructure and vendor ecosystem - you can get a lot done no with commodity and near-commodity components, there is less need to start "from scratch" to do useful things. But the hard problems are still hard.
It got much farther than IFT-2, and exposed new problems, which is the purpose of a test flight. This seems like a success.

Cato's a pretty well-known libertarian think tank. Not saying they are right or wrong or that your choice of words was intentional, but calling them "The conservative Cato Institute" feels a little iffy.

This is just absurd, how much revenue does Facebook need to "survive"?

I'd expect from society in 2024, platforms like Facebook, Quora, GlassDoor to not only exist but to work well in an established way. It's just greed, pure and simple.

Nothing works, and everything is "shittified".

For example, I was really excited about Triplebyte. I thought finally we may have a tool to separate the wheat from the chaff and hoped it would make it's way even to Europe but then it got shittified with dark patterns.

The moment something becomes cool for a few months, it's already a cow to be milked endlessly and sold off to the highest bidder who will do the same and once it's gone they'll find someone to throw under the bus and move on to the next thing.

And that's not even counting personal information which they consistently misuse or sell. I am terrified to use majority of services online with personal name/surname and recently my very unique(identifies just me) name:surname combo got hijacked and was used in a fake review site. I just don't trust any company when they say "your private notes" are private. Yes, they are, if they earn trillions and become like apple. But the moment money is tighter they change the tune.

For example take a site like bumble. The frontend is junior level programming even HS. The backend is a simple DB. It can't cost billions of euros to run that.
You likely haven't witnessed him in person. For subjects he is expecting his lies are delivered with perfect fluidity and almost messianic confidence. He easily slips into raw belligerence that absolutely shuts down most people.

He is an expert at statements that brim with sound and fury but which signify nothing, and so although they covey some impression their content leaves nothing to falsify.

He immediately deceives many people. Some of his approach is polarizing, particularly the technobabbling-- people either fall hard for him or see right through him-- but generally a conman only needs to fool some people, not everyone.

The technobabbling even sometimes works on technical people, particularly when they go in pre-awed by him, they assume that misunderstandings are errors on their part.

Like if you met Knuth and asked him a question and he replied with a bunch of jargon you've barely heard about but it doesn't really sound right... you're not going to suddenly start thinking he's a big fake, right? you're going to assume you're the clueless one.

I quoted you directly. You said that it's not "somebody else" who decided the unemployed deserve no dignity, but that it's MSFT_Edging decided that. Like, he's the only one who thinks that?

The moral framing almost certainly a part of the strategy to get the public to accept the projects. But at the same time, I'm not sure the moral framing (that natives should have more autonomy over their ancestral land) is incorrect, or detracts at all.

Define "need".

I've been consulting for a large org where someone decided that every web app needs to use a consistent pattern, and they mandated Angular. This could have been React, Vue, whatever, the point is that they picked a client-side JavaScript framework for all of their web apps.

Turns out that they weren't actually making web "apps". They were making web sites with mostly read-only content and a handful of web forms.

Traditional server-side templating, like Razor pages, is a well-established method for handling this. Something like HTMX adds the tiny bit of client-side interactivity that is actually required. Nothing else is needed.

The article talks about about reducing code size to 2/3rds and you just handwave that away!?

That's the exact same thing I've been telling my customer! They're literally bloating out their codebase three times over (3x!) by using JavaScript client-side rendering instead of plain, ordinary, boring, and simple server-side rendering like they should have.

For every single thing that they do, they need a C# bit of code and a TypeScript bit of code, and a whole API thing to wire the two up. They are forced to use distributed monitoring spread across the browser (untrusted!) and the server! Deployments have to factor in client-side cache expiry! And on, and on, and on.

I did a demo for them recently where I rewrote several thousand lines of code with 50. Not fifty thousand. Fifty.
