The advice about university is extremely dangerous in 2024 for anyone without a privileged upbringing because university is a far inferior place to learn things than YouTube videos aggregating all the best university lectures in history with the even more effective education style pioneered by Grant with 3blue1brown.

I was replying to this. I don’t find this “offensive”, I find it misleading and untrue. Maybe some tiny percentage of people will prefer sitting at home watching YouTube videos to the experience of attending a top college. For everyone else, the university is a better choice, not least because you’ll build a better network.

Not everyone wants to sit at home alone and watch videos. I’m not sure why that is difficult to understand.

Ashby (YC W19) Is Hiring Engineering Managers in EMEA
I'm not taking any bets on how you setup and maintain your particular Arch. Partial upgrades are unsupported etc. You can definitely shoot yourself in the foot with Arch, but after a while it becomes easy not to.
I have also heard that managers like to keep job postings for every role up if employment conditions create a flight risk. If someone gives their 2 weeks notice, there is a nice long pipeline of would-have-been ghost candidates for their role, which speeds up recruiting the replacement by a month at least.
It's true, the US had to go civilize Europe twice. America is using a lighter hand this time, but that is also because America is relatively weaker now. If Europe needs the US to come civilize it a third time, I think it might not happen. They will simply descend into the barbarism of the great wars without America to come quell them into civilization.
Looking at some benchmarks online and the 7900x always beat the 5950x even though the 5950x has more cores.

But in this article the 7900x performed worse than the 5950x, is it because of the core count, or are there some other factors?
The article is based on this report[0], which The Guardian mentions in its piece but does not link to it.

Do they solder the USB-C connectors on the motherboard still? Because that has been actually the only fatality in the T470/T495/T14 machines I have. There is no way of effectively repairing the connector other than throwing the motherboard away as the connector shell usually rips up traces when it goes.

Apple put theirs on a replaceable daughter board, which while annoying to get out, is possible with minimal tools. I’d expect the same if iFixit are crowing on this.

Edit: did some googling and found out that no they haven’t fixed this flaw. The USB-C ports are still directly soldered to the motherboard. More landfill and completely compromises this marketing. And it makes a mockery of iFixit supposed 9/10 score.

Sounds like you might want to start a lifestyle business. You should read and listen to everything by Rob Walling, especially his “stair step approach”. Wish someone had told me this at your stage.

For meeting founders, find someone in the area you’re interested in and build stuff with them. Also consider using the YC founder network, but they may be too ambitious for you.

Lifestyle businesses are probably less dependent on cofounders for success.

You’ll need to work hard at your tech skills if they’ve atrophied. The good news is, this part is incredibly fun.

Honest question: how? I've never seen anyone who's obese and having a diet that made me go "huh that's odd how can they be obese?"

While the inverse occasionally has been true, generally people who I consider in good shape appear to eat less, and less greasy food.

So while there might be exceptions it seems to be a damn good rule of thumb to me.
reminds me of high meat

recently learned that you need nitric oxide, and when you don't eat veggies, you can still get it from salami, which is fermented meat.

Also trying to make garum these days, will take half a year until it's done though.
Have you visited them? At some point, a place feeling right can trump any minor differences in the programs.

With stuff like this, I do my research, but then ultimately go with my gut. Some of the greatest lessons I learned in college were outside the classroom.

Keep cost in mind as well (especially if loans are going to be part of this). Unless you’re doing something very specific, the school on the diploma won’t matter much, as long as people have actually heard of it and it’s reputable.

> There are people who seem to literally believe that without inflation people will refuse to invest in anything

No. The problem comes without increase of the money supply. If there isn't enough growth to support the growth of the economy, then yes you're definitely hurting it (and if the supply is fixed, then your economy is going to be practically deadlocked).

The nice thing with commodity currency in the preindustrial era is that they accumulate roughly like the overall capital accumulation and productivity so it kind of works (it's not optimal though, and the massive increase of supply from the “new world” and the adoption of credit-based paper money triggered a period of higher growth that eventually led to the industrial revolution).

There's debate on inflation itself, but the economic consensus is in favor of price stability and that's what central bank are targeting. The reason why they are targeting 2% and not 0% is something you can learn from any book or economic resource on the internet, but there's nothing we can do against the fact that you somehow decided never to document yourself on the subject…

Your stance of “I've no idea how the works works or why it works this way and I won't try, but it definitely suck and doing this instead would be better” doesn't make you look good, you know?
Thanks for the awesome idea! Turning summaries into speech isn’t something we have yet, but it sounds like a great addition. We’ll definitely think about how we can add it.

Did you replace the real you with "AI you" to ask me "why"?

I presume you wouldn't do that? How about replacing your own voice on a video that you make, allowing your viewers to believe it's your natural voice? Are you comfortable with that deception?

Everyone has evolving opinions about this subject. For me, I don't want to converse with stand-in replacements for living people.
> DIMM, keyboard, SSD and WWAN

Basically a return to the status quo of 10 years ago, isn't it?

I am inclined to believe that this (as well as Dell's Concept Luna) is a direct result of Framework's existence and may not have happened without them in this form.
I use my laptop on a laptop stand on the couch and bed. Every time I slightly shift positions, the lap detection mode is triggered through the accelerometer (even though it's not on my lap) and the power limit throttles to 11W. You can clearly tell Lenovo does not dog food their own products, nor do they care about them. They've also released broken bios updates which ends up bricking devices. I can find links if people want to know more, but I have stopped recommending ThinkPads to friends and family. The quality is no longer there.

This is not a company that cares about their products - just one that attempts to extract the maximum possible value out of its consumers.
Eventually all academic papers will be released as cartoons, manga videos or other illustrated novels.
Greg Bear in the 1987 novel “Eon” describes a virtual “afterlife“ where both the world and the people in it are simulated.

He also describes a theory where you could design a system in such a way that the simulated people wouldn’t be able to tell the true state of the world.

And (spoiler alert) he also introduces an Alien race that has discovered algorithms that let them subvert the simulation.
Ariane Space is private, too.
United Launch Alliance is also private.

I think there are many reasons for the current situation.

First, Space X has a grand vision and is driven by it.
They have excellent management and ingenious engineers.

Second, (IMHO) Obama's economic policies included picking winners.
Space X got a juicy contract for many, many missions.
The US is buying US first, so Space X has a nice base-line launch volume that enables them to go towards "mass"-manufacturing.
As a result, cheaper prices drive demand even higher, increase volume, and lower prices.
The US government has a more innovative approach to industry policies than the EU.

This brings me to the third point: what the EU is doing wrong. While the US tends to _buy the product_ of the new industry they want to create, the EU _funds the research_. This leads to the current situation in which Europe, which had a lead in methane engine research[1], has no methane engine, while the US has a company that earns money by launching a reusable methane engine.

Point four applies to the US and EU: While Ariane Space is private, the money comes from the EU and the partner countries (mainly Germany and France). Engineers did not design Ariane 6; it was created by politicians who squabbled about where which part would be developed and manufactured. There were two competing plans, one driven by Germany and one by France, based on which country would benefit more.
I'm unsure about ULA, but at least SLS had the same problem.

So, in Europe, government funding comes with strings attached, and it goes towards research. People laugh about the CEO of Ariane (rightfully so for other reasons) when he complains that Europe is not buying enough launches from them to justify reusability. But he is right on this one. A rocket company needs a baseline of demand to justify going into "mass"-production and reusability. _After_ that, the lower prices will create new demand. In my opinion, this is how it worked for Space X and what Europe failed to see.

In my opinion, both Tesla and Space X are good examples of how to establish new industries (from the view of the government):

* find a private entity with a grand vision
* buy their product
* use economics of scale to drive down prices

The EU has started incorporating some of these ideas in its latest round of research funding.

[1] I don't have hard evidence for this other than that one of the researchers told me. Even if Europe didn't have the lead, we had cutting-edge research.

> "Long covid is not a thing" plays into the "Covid is not a thing" conspiracy theory; it's probably a harmful trope, rather than meaningfully helpful for the people suffering symptoms.

That something plays into a harmful trope doesn’t speak to its veracity though, and diminishing smaller inconvenient truths so as to not lead people astray in my opinion exacerbates rather than diminishes conspiracy theories.

Could probably have prevented a lot of wasted time, money, and endless internet arguments by saying something early on like “ivermectin, which humans are regularly prescribed, does look promising for treating Covid, but only at dosages that are very toxic to humans, or in populations that might have parasites, as a result of curing those parasites”, instead of the “lol it’s only for horses!” stuff, or by clearly stating “lab leak is possible, and not the same thing as an intentionally man-made bioweapon unleashed by Chinese people”.
I think we can summarize the whole Y combinator channel and post here. I like to watch YC videos but there are too many and I don't want to miss any of them. It's a good way to read the summaries instead of watching the original videos.

> create a quarterly summary and survey of engineers

What is exactly is meant by that?
I'm hoping/expecting a big improvement in long-context understanding. Currently GPT-4 has a "128K Context Window" but it does a very poor job at actually using all the information in that window.

Imagine you could load up that context window with information and it could use every bit of it with the same intelligence as if you only passed it a paragraph.

For example, function calling is good to maybe ten different functions before it starts forgetting them or mixing then up today. Maybe in GPT-5 we can pass in 1,000s of functions and it would be able to find the relevant one every time.

Or maybe we can pass in a huge codebase with line numbers, and it can identify exactly which lines need to be changed or added to implement a feature.
Interesting I hadn't noticed this was in the last sanctions package:

According to the EU:

>Prohibition to provide enterprise and design-related software to the Russian government or Russian companies. The aim is to further hamper Russia's capacities in its industrial sector. Restrictions in the area of services are an area where we have worked closely with our international partners, including the US and the UK.

So, not just cloud.
I think it stops being just a conversation when you make the choice to broadcast it.

I have a somewhat comparable history: I've taken a decade to get to the point where my bootstrapped SaaS ARR income is about to surpass my full-time consulting income.

It has taken about a decade of switching back and forth between consulting and working on the SaaS until I run out of money. Some consulting stints took a few months, others a few years, depending on our needs.

As I grew older, our needs and risk aversion in the family increased, so I just took on longer or more financially interesting consulting assignments, to grow a bigger buffer and allocate some extra assets.

I'm quite sure that, if I had just been consulting the last 15 years, I would already have been able to retire (owning more real estate and other assets).

However, my life would have been very different, and every single time I took on an ad interim assignment, I noticed the impact of my SaaS building experience was a big plus for my consulting assignments...

I'm not saying it's all rainbows & unicorns - building a SaaS is romanticized a lot, but IME it's an infinite game that requires a lot of grit, and as you grow you move the goal posts, so you're always in "hard" mode -, but I beg to differ that it has led to a more interesting life for me personally, as I tend to get bored quickly.

I have a few friends that built, sold, and could retire, but every single one of them has started building something new...

You need to love playing the game and be willing to sacrifice things, as the odds are typically against you.

I don’t think it’s even possible to read that theme out of book 1; the only real suggestion of it is the jihad prophecy, but by the end of the book our hero has only really done good things for good people and has dramatically escalated in power over his enemies with essentially zero negative consequences… and even as you read through it, it seems like Paul is going to eventually avoid that future (because he’s so constantly aware of heading towards it), so even thats not useful. It only really shows up in the next books, and then with hindsight
Yes, I really don’t know how you’d run a study.

Take thousands of children, give them some kind of experience without explaining why, and without anyone they know being there. Then ask them questions about it 20 years later. Have control groups where parents and photos give them information - some true, some false - at different intervals.

Interesting thought experiment, though impractical and probably unethical. But without that kind of independent verification it’s impossible to say you can accurately recall childhood memories. While your story is harmless, it can get dangerous when people recall crimes that may not have happened in the way they think.

To me it got bad around the time they gave up the docking station port and switched to USBC for that. We have such models at work now and they had multiple failures, like one USBC port dying, which was hilarious to figure out first because the docking station uses two, so it still half worked. Then the keyboard on one died. Another colleagues speakers died.

We had lots of models from the T series before, and while they were not all perfect they still worked perfectly and we usually got to take them home when they were replaced and they kept working for years to come after the inevitable battery swap.

> If the idea is bad or wrong, it will be debated and ultimately defeated in the marketplace of ideas.

This implies the existence of a marketplace of ideas where people can freely trade thoughts.

It was not the case in the past (i.e. you go to jail or are excommunicated for dissent), and it is increasingly not the case in the modern world (i.e. the algorithm is telling you what they want you to hear).

You cannot have a free marketplace of ideas in a world where the forums these ideas are being discussed have an incentive of causing conflict and keeping you engaged.

This is not an attack on you or anything, I just think we should all be more aware that everything we hear today has an agenda hidden behind it, which is malicious more often than honest.
