The dearth of couch coop games is annoying horrible.

I’m going to have to fire up the old switch as it seems they’re the only ones with even some that are both couch coop and little kid friendly.
They indicated it’s a team of all juniors so I didn’t see how they can receive any coaching on software. There’s a lot of growth from junior to mid and senior, it can happen fast but without guidance the basic work and software designs could be a large issue.

No, but in some context I might call 30W "full speed" and 45W "turbo speed" ;)

We can't do it on electric cars alone... we should have actually invested in high-speed rail for LA County, SD County, Orange County, San Francisco Bay Area, etc. How much more saturated can the electric car market here realistically get? Seems like everyone who wants one has one and those who don't can't due to renting in an apartment building etc.
I just skimmed it. Quite over my head in electronics. Is it stuff like this that you’re doing and looking for?

OpenAI has been pretty damn good at closing their weaknesses.

Originally AI was hard to communicate with, they released instruct models. It couldn't hold context and deal iteratively, so they released chat models e.g. ChatGPT.

AI can't do math? They added code interpreter so it would code its own calculators. It couldn't access APIs, they added functions. Companies like Voiceflow would specialize in building assistant bots, so OpenAI released assistant.

They're able to build fast, like a startup, but they're funded far better than a startup. So it's going to be hard to close in on these opportunities.

But if I have to answer the question:

1. Language and dialects - Indonesia has about 700 languages, most with significant overlap, but it would be nice to have something that supports more of them.

2. Safety. It goes overboard with it, which I think won't work anyway in the long run. A bot that could swear is nice but I don't think they'll go here anytime soon.
Man even once AI takes all our jobs or whatever there's still gonna be 8 billion people wandering around. We're still gonna need to talk to each other.
Automatic transmissions also have gears and no one is designing a bespoke unit to install on a mass produced car, also because the same car has many trims levels with different weights and different engines.
I am barely smarter than a five year old and also think this is a disaster of an idea.
The results unfortunately are too vague to support that interpretation.

There was no causal linkage because they couldn't determine why people were fasting: suppressed appetite due to illness, suppressed appetite due to being a smoker (which is very common), skipping meals due to poverty.

It also found that while cardiovascular deaths increased by 91% overall deaths were completely unchanged...which is a bit difficult to reconcile.

I agree.

I think the parent poster was referring to how much noise there is, and I'd agree. The moment you start learning, just the fanciest stuff is shoved down your throat. So you just assume its the best and roll with it.

Refreshing to see my old Prof quoted. This is an intensely intriguing area of research, not only the natural occurring phenomenon of infantile amnesia but also the experiments created to explore this area. For example tagging and reactivating engrams in separate contexts has shown us how to essentially create false memories, exposing possible mechanisms of PTSD triggers, further, stressing mothers or pups out in critical post-partem periods has revealed how not only early life stress can impact physiology, but that epigenetic changes can occur in the mother that then affect the physiology and functioning of subsequent litters.
Pure unfiltered are very rare, but you can still find things close.

This may be unconventional in the sense that most FPGAs aren't used for it, but it's quite common in general, and you can buy commercial products that use FPGAs in this way (e.g. ChipWhisperer)

Congrats on the launch! Some weird, random feedback—-I found the background music in your demo video surprisingly distracting! That probably seems petty but for me it was the strongest impression from interacting with your post.

The super bubbly chime vibe didn’t match my expectations for your brand based on the copy, value prop, fact that you’re posting on HN, etc. Reminded me a bit of the flat, corporate videos I’ve seen from B2B orgs, like “look, our tool is compliant and exciting, really!” (Just the music, overall it’s fine).

Music also doesn’t match the low, quiet LockpickingLawyer-esque voiceover. Which I thought was fine, seemed sincere, scrappy, matches the brand.

I’d experiment with different royalty-free music options, and maybe lower the level a bit more and/or boost the voiceover to make it easier to understand. Hope this is helpful!
your mileage may vary, meaning that point from the essay doesn't apply uniformly

Need Help Selecting University
I've been accepted into a few universities for computer science, they are:

UC Merced
UC Santa Cruz
UC Riverside
CSUN

I'm not sure if I should trust school ratings or how to interpret them. I'm after a good computer science education, with the right foundation of theory and practical knowledge. I would value your opinions and advice as it pertains to these universities, I have to make my decision in the next couple of weeks.

At the moment I'm interested in a bachelors. I currently don't have any specialty in mind. However I have interests in the following areas:

Computer Science
Computer Engineering
Game physics
Robotics

I'm not sure if I would like to pursue a master's degree or just a bachelor's degree.

I'm unsure how employers will view degrees from these universities, compared to one another.

I'll be graduating, from high school soon and in the past I've done several courses on computer science, from edX and Udemy primarily.
> Corporate Paper and bank loans are pretty much impossible since you have almost no revenue and not even a history of revenue. If you can get a loan, it will have a double-digit interest rate.

These two things can't really jive in the same world. There can't be a bunch of investors willing to blow huge sums of money on a business with no revenue in exchange for equity in pursuit of above average returns but no investors willing to buy corporate bonds or a new to be determined IOU structure from a business with no revenue in pursuit of above average returns. The only necessary condition in my view for this kind of investment to not shaft workers in the long run is that the amount paid to fulfill the IOU can't be indefinite or unbounded.
Giangreco's book explains why what you said isn't correct.
The articles on the browser tech are horribily outdated, and ditto with TLS libraries. But if they used something like mbedtls/bearssl and Gemini/Gopher, they would be still useful.
> Stanford was in the VC business long, long before...

Not at scale. In the 1980s, Stanford's biggest IP revenue came from FM synthesis for musical instruments. In 1991, Stanford started up the Stanford Management Company to manage the endowment. Offices were on Sand Hill Road, out by the venture capitalists. That worked out very well. Enough so that SMC became the tail that wagged the dog. But that's a long story.
Maybe it's (something similar to) Eidetic Memory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory
Same boat here.

I would suggest using your network and consider a path of least resistance such as building a side-business while working that either solves niche enterprise problems or makes enterprise capabilities more manageable for small businesses.

Starting a business is really easy. The bullshit that every business needs to do isn't particularly magical or mysterious. Don't get too invested in the bureaucratization process, but also be sure to implement what needs to happen just in time.

Find cofounders from your friends and coworkers, and go to startup events. Find people who you respect and who respect you, have integrity, and are the most fun. It's important to find people who don't turn into arrogant SOBs or raging sociopaths when large sums of money become involved. Honesty, awareness, navigating/prioritizing ambiguity, and conflict resolution skills are damn important.

Avoid external funding if at all possible unless it unblocks time-to-market that would otherwise miss market time or grow too slowly to survive. (Growing slower is often easier and more sustainable!)

Have sensible cost controls that are pennywise and poundwise.

If not changing the world or building a startup per se, focus on building a business that something people want. ;@] Expect it to take 20x longer, 50x more effort, and 4x more money than you think.
Who cares? Years of skill rendered irrelevant by pedal to the metal hmmmmmmmmmmmm/
Could be I suppose, but what about others? I guess the problem I see is that any given webapp might need to download & store several gigabytes.

If the models were built into the browser, the browser would need to download & store the model data, but that can at least be a lot more efficient than websites doubling up on download & storage of models.
It wasn’t quite one-shot. I had multiple interactions with ChatGPT on the first run-through before I could get the code to work, and a couple with Claude after I noticed that the partitions weren’t correct.

But all I did was report the errors to the LLMs and paste their revised code back into Colab. The core logic of the search algorithm was created entirely by the LLMs based on my natural-language description of the LetterBoxed rules and the solutions I was looking for. I could not have written that code myself.
I also feel your pain with datadog, and even GCP’s UI. I used to periodically travel to a relatives house that beamed internet from a cell tower miles away. Not being able to access these in my line of work is pretty critically bad. Unfortunately I don’t think the intersection of low bandwidth internet users and these types of high tech software will ever be large enough to justify an investment in making it work in low bandwidth environments. I bet most companies in the space take a Quick Look at number of users that would benefit and easily decide that it’s not worth the effort. Which is quite unfortunate for people who have to deal with that.

I will say though that the two pieces of software that we are discussing seem necessarily much more bandwidth and data heavy than a CRM. So there isn’t as much justification for large bundle sizes for a CRM in my opinion
Wow, you can really do a lot of very different stuff with a fuzzy finder
I was recently working for a customer that was heavily invested in an older version of Microsoft Dynamics, but they were considering alternatives for their CRM platform. Salesforce was one of the options.

They were a sales organization, so CRM was a very central tool for them, and they needed lots of customization and applications build on top of the CRM. So CRM selection was more than selecting a tool, it was selecting a platform, an ecosystem, method of developing apps etc.

The reason they were considering the alternatives at all was that practically all of the MS Dynamics customization was built based on direct database access, and Microsoft no longer supports the versions that allow that. That, and all CRM development was behind one person, which was huge risk for a multi-billion dollar company.

Salesforce was one of the alternatives, not due to it being technically superior, or even having a better UI, but because this customer was not really a software house, so they wanted to avoid in-house software development as much as possible. One part of that was to outsource CRM-related development, to "focus on their core competencies".

When people say "network effects", this is what they talk about. What would have it taken for them to consider a startup like this as the CRM platform? They did not really consider HubSpot nor 100% custom frameworks as alternatives. You had to be in the Gartner magic quandrant to be considered a serious alternative.

I am not saying you should target customers like this, but I believe it may helpful to think if this is the kind of customer you want to win in the long run, and what would it take to win a customer like this.

In that company, sales wanted MS Dynamics, because that was what the sales people were used to. IT wanted Salesforce, because they believed they could just outsource the CRM-related development work to Salesforce consultants, and integration narrative is strong for Salesforce due to Mulesoft.

They ended up choosing MS Dynamics, because in a sales orgazation, sales brings in the money, so everything else supports sales, and sales calls the shots.
It's too bad the top-rated answer on Reddit says "GR does not say Gravity is not a force (or if you do say it’s not a force, then none of the other forces are forces either)" rather than explaining what people mean when they say gravity is not a force (basically, it affects the geometry of spacetime in such a way that an unaccelerated particle can still move along a path that's not a straight line in the traditional sense) and why nonetheless we can treat gravity approximately (that is, perturbatively) as if it were a force, and why this perturbative description when quantized predicts a spin-2 boson, the graviton. Oh well.
That's actually a realistic, completely true take IMO. I mean, one look at the real world and it's the only take that makes sense to me
The recruiters are the worst. Or, as you put it, staffing agency lead generation firms. I had not recognized it as such, but the truth is the truth. And that description the fucking truth.

What follows below is a rant, and you can ignore it if you like.

Most of these sorts of contacts come from Linkedin, where I have an up-to-date profile showing the nearly 11 years of work in mechanical product and equipment design as a Mechanical Design Engineer, a few of those years being an Engineering Manager for a small automation group.

I keep getting hit up by recruiters for positions that, frankly, would be a career change. "Our client has an urgent need for a structural engineer." Well, that's great, of course, but I'm not one of those. That's really a branch of Civil or Architectural Engineering. Not Mechanical. "That's OK, you're still a great fit."

We end up going through the process of finding out the compensation, where I question: Are you sure they're going to be willing to pay someone who is new at this job the same salary as someone who's been working in their field for over a decade?

I'm talking to these people because I rarely pass on learning about an opportunity. There's a chance for me to go for my Professional Engineer license in these gigs, so it's worth exploring a little bit.

Invariably, we get to the point of receiving feedback from the hiring firm and the response is "Well... you aren't a structural / Professional / MEP / BIM engineer, which is what we require." Bonus points for that part of the feedback being received during an interview by the miserable fuck who didn't know when to ignore a recruiter: me.

To round all this out be to be back on topic: Thank you @joel_mckay for that "staffing agency lead generation firm" line. That helps me to realize what I've been coming to suspect is true: These aren't actually recruiters hired by firms. They're people scouring Linkedin for anyone who's a) breathing and b) has some overlapping words, for a job post the "recruiter" probably also found on Linkedin.
Two peopla will but then nobody else does for a whileeso it works out. Meanwhile I'm safer
What specifically makes it so infeasible in your opinion, given the rate of AI progress over the past 5 years? Do you believe no amount of scaling will reach human intelligence?
Instead of using five masters like GFS, which typically ran on five machines dedicated to the purpose, Colossus uses a variable number of so called curators to handle all the metadata work (think of directory entries and inodes in Unix, separate from the data blocks). They're just regular Borg tasks, running along those from other services like YouTube, Gmail, Reader, etc. The more storage added to the cluster, the more traffic it gets and the busier the curators become. For very small clusters five or fewer curators might suffice, but when you hit hundreds of petabytes, you need many, many more of them. Borg requires identities, including the system account that runs the Colossus service, to have quota, so there needs to be a way to grant it an amount of CPU cores and memory somewhat proportional to the storage cluster size. (Fun things happen when the cell shrinks instead of growing.) Monitoring the entire stack also requires resources of its own, proportional to cluster size, so there were additional grants at higher priority just for those jobs.

>1: Japan has their own Just Japan system, QZSS, which I have vague memories is different, but I don't remember enough to explain it.

Japan's QZSS is complementary to America's GPS and also covers Australia and everywhere in-between due to its orbit.

For generally practical purposes, it can be considered part of GPS. Any GPS receiver in range can receive its signals.
This is really cool. Thank you.
> However real they may seem, your earliest treasured memories were probably implanted by seeing photos or hearing your parents’ stories about waiting in line for the spinning teacups.

Call me skeptical of this explanation.

As a small talk conversation starter, I've developed a habit of asking people what their earliest memory was.

For lots of people they don't have any memories from early childhood. I'd say the most common age I hear is around 5 or 6. The oldest I heard was a 30-year-old who doesn't remember anything before high school.

But when there are those early memories, they are short, strong, and associated with fear. But not consequential in the 'lore' that a parent would develop about a child.

One girl told me about a time when she was at a restaurant with her dad. He got up and left the booth, and she was scared to be alone.

Another story was about throwing a toy car and watching it puncture a soda can, which then began spraying, and being scared, not knowing what was going on.

A guy related a story to me about hearing their parents talk about being pregnant with their sibling (who is 2 years younger than them). And he distinctly remembers their emotions, their stress, and how it made him feel (scared).

It's not like the parents are telling their kids about that one time they got up for a few minutes in a restaurant or that one scary time a dog barked at them or that time they rode in a car with a cigarette smoker and the smell was disgusting.

They'll remember one sensory input like the image of a can spraying soda or the smell of smoke or the words someone said and then they'll remember, distinctly, the emotion. When they tell the story, you can tell they know exactly how they felt in the moment.

That just doesn't jive with saying they reconstructed those memories.
