Currently going through this at my current company. My cofounder is battling cancer, but so far, it's been 3 years since diagnosis and he's still going strong. We still take all decisions jointly, enjoy equal equity, the works, even as we know that his time is severely limited. We have already planned succession elaborately as part of this process.

Fwiw, I was close to dying before him a few weeks back in a medical emergency, something we both didn't see coming. In the end, fate can always find a way.
Difficult to benchmark, but ... people are switching to ARM. You've heard of the M1 right?
> Quad-core 64-bit Arm®Cortex®-A53 CPU subsystem at 1.4GHz

It's slower.

> Memory 4GB LPDDR4

Has less and slower memory.

> Arm Cortex-R5 subsystem for low-latency I/O and control

Might use less power at idle, the Pi 5 is extremely power hungry when doing nothing (~5W).

> Dual general-purpose C7x DSP with Matrix Multiply Accelerator (MMA) capable of 4 TOPs

An AI chip with questionable software support.

The rest seems about the same, it's loosely based on the same PCB layout.
I've just made a ShowHN [1] about my pet project [2] for the past few weeks. It let you run isolated runners on-prem from any OCI image using microVMs. The project uses a base image to form a minimal runner environment, and an image that layers the tooling required for running the runner on top of the base image. You can insert your own set of pre-installed tools in that chain of images to warm up runners quickly.

> I would love to see a study on how banning social media impacts ADHD symptoms.

Most of my ADHD social circle does in fact not use any social media. Reading/posting on HN does kinda count tho, I guess.
I do think you are entitled to filter for a specific age group implicitly, but it doesn't make it any less discriminatory.

Example: statistically the odds of someone graduating from college being over 30 are low. Therefore if I claim that I hire college graduates I get to also filter implicitly by age.

Then the question is: assuming an inherent bias of sample, is it desirable or undesirable to introduce a "function" that attempts some mitigation? I see the "functions" that attempt to mitigate sexism, racism but not ageism.

It feels like companies or organizations are just fine with slapping a paragraph at the end of an announcement that parrots
"we are inclusive trust us" without any real adjustment and call it a day.
There's a weird dystopianness about having a machine that can write songs and poetry years or maybe decades before having one that can clean a toilet.

It doesnt help that the automated future imagined in the past would "free up" people so that they could spend all of their time writing songs and poetry.
> > it also seems payment terminals at the grocery store needed special support for the Apple/Google Pay apps.

> They don't. Unless a given POS terminal is buggy, it'll work anywhere that otherwise accepts the underlying card scheme. The physical and logical protocols are exactly the same as for actual plastic cards and mostly indistinguishable to the terminal; actually breaking Apple Pay/Google Pay support needs a lot of destructive energy on the merchant's/PSP's side.

this doesn't fit my experience. For example, Home Depot doesn't accept apple pay but their chip readers work with other cards. If there's no difference then it would seem impossible for the machines to distinguish apple pay from any other card.

I've had similar issues at many other merchants

OK, let Putin have his money then.

The truth is, US giving "aid", imposing or lifting sanctions exactly to protect their interests, and to increase their leverage, not because they care about other countries in question.

For decades our country tries to get rid of this "aid", but it's virtually impossible.
It's not really about the drinks and many people don't have the wine or beer. I just included them as a way to describe the informal nature. At lunch we only ever have one (in France even the canteens serve wine, it's quite normal). And we don't do it every day :)

It's just about enjoying life being the primary goal, not amassment of material goods.

There's different styles to it, depending on where you live, how your life is, and it means to "live your life" for you. E.g. you could have certain periods where you work really, really hard, and then you take a longer break, month, 3 months, 6 months, etc. Or you could work really hard to try and get an early state of financial independence. At that point living life becomes very easy, because you know you can just quit to do whatever you want, you are not dependent on anyone else so much less stress. Otherwise job market, your company state, leadership etc will be unnecessary stressors.

Seems like there is always push back on LLM's that they don't learn to do proofs and reasoning.

Deepmind just placed pretty high at International Mathematical Olympiad . Here it does have to present reasoning.

As others have said, you'll need to talk to him. And focus on what does he want, and what does he think is fair. He can't expect to keep his share of the company, while also bailing on you, but most people don't think like this anyway. If your working relation was good, and he wants the company to succeed, he won't play hardball. Which means that you also don't need to get into the conversation with your guard up. Just talk to him, and be a decent human being.

APL has a primitive for generating random sequences and I'm pretty sure I've seen toy examples of it being used to characterise functions; the story here may have been the origin of "fuzz testing" under that name but it would not surprise me at all to find 1960s computer use (or 1950s cybernetic use, or even 1930s radio use?) under a different name.
You need to clarify with legal what happens when he dies.

In germany and other europeon countries, their family would inherit his shares which can become a problem if those family members do not care about the company at all and just want out or nothing to do with it.

We talked to our partners and told them what we want them to do and they would become silent partners without control.

4 year vesting with 1 year cliff is just simulating what FAANGs were doing 10 years ago but out of touch tech wannabes are imagining is normal now

When we set up vesting for ourselves, we just wanted a huge portion of something for super cheap and taxed beneficially if we made an 83b or 83i election, and we realized that the terms of vesting wasn’t regulated and we had unilateral discretion over everything. Our cost basis wasn’t zero, but we wound up having $200 grants with like 3 month vesting. We exercised immediately, mailed the election in, and then had paper value way higher super fast after sales at much higher prices, with a lot of liquidity.

I periodically reaffirmed with my cofounder what the purpose of our venture was

“We’re still in the money game, right?”

and this supports our financial engineering, as opposed to being steered or married to the particular idea or line of business

so all that’s to say, what game are you in? do you two have unilateral control over the contracts? maybe that steers the conversation more than wondering if they could or should make the cliff for some illiquid startup ownership

Hallucinations as a term for incorrect answers made by token generators is a genius marketing term. In fact, labelling LLMs as AI is what propelled high valuations of these companies.

My point was that it does both. It didn't ditch dynamic system libraries, and it's better off for it than the rest of 'em.

The fun thing about the python ecosystem, is that even if you write an application for the latest version of Pillow, its API is stable, and you're unlikely to actually use anything introduced only in the newest version, so switching between versions is largely free (though you should definitely specify a minimum version reflecting the functionalities you actually use). In the worst case, the distro will eventually catch up with the library version your software needs, and then it can be packaged. Unlike with the node ecosystem, in python land code can easily survive years without upstream maintenance!

> Any system integrator that strictly insists on dynamic linking is missing the whole point of building systems in the first place.

You can't really say things like this without elaborating.
> However, US is at peace. Which is a great thing by itself, but it means it’s too easy for them to waste billions of dollars developing technologies which look awesome in PowerPoint, but useless in practice.

It's always easier to develop weapons in wartime because the requirements and effectiveness are much easier to find, but it's not cheaper. Billions will still be wasted but it will be spent on rebuilding buildings, bridges, infrastructure and lives destroyed by the war.

Ukraine has done some amazing things with cheap and boot strapped technology but the cost is the $486 billion required to rebuild the country.

> JavaScript is non static-typed and you'll spend time fixing bugs that can be prevented by static typing.

Use TypeScript if types are so important for you. Others find their own way of handling those issues without getting tripped up on it. Hardly a reason to completely switch between two languages in my mind, but of course it's alright if it's reason enough for you. Luckily there are acceptable workarounds for both groups of people :)

> Also, GJS is not well documented, as far as I remember.

What exactly is missing here? There are guides for the basics, API reference exists and there is a ton of apps you can look into for inspiration and/or figure out specific implementations.

Is that really worse than what exists for writing Gnome apps with Swift? Seems like a really weak argument for using Swift instead of GJS.
One could say that that's an insane take.

Any sufficiently sign of incompetence and negligence is usually just that - incompetence and negligence, you know, occam's razor and all.
If one wishes to keep an open mind and explore non-mainstream views of the modern world economy, I recommend the first chapters of The Bitcoin Standard, by Saifedean Ammous, an actual trained economist. He has been interviewed by Lex Fridman if you prefer to hear him in podcast version.

These chapters are not about bitcoin, but the societal shift that happened at the turn of last century when countries abandoned the gold standard to finance their wars. The Keynesian economic policy. The concept of time preference which shifts when the value of a currency is diluted by inflation. How very rich entities are allowed to grow richer simply because they are able to get large sums of money "at the source" before inflation has had the chance to raise prices for all of us, etc.

Very unpopular in this circles where the mention of bitcoin is cause to raise pitchforks, and everybody loves to quote economists that seemingly have no clue what is going on.
It is the same approach as declarative UI programming like SwiftUI or QML, but with an extra GUI abstraction on top of it. An artifact of this GUI-driven development process (like Xcode or Glade) is still a file with some declarative markup (sometimes even human-readable).
Depends on how well programed the bot is I guess. Personaly I use the encrypted packet port knocking package fwknop on my home server to hide the ssh port until I need it.
What's so funny about Piketty is that he probably reached the same conclusion as marxist theoricians did; the surplus value that workers have to forfeit to their bosses drives wealth accumulation and that process is simply theft. But he was probably like "No way I can say that, they gonna think im crazy" and reverted back to a boring social-democratic conclusion.
Really something we needed.

Swift has such low memory usage, that it's an order of magnitude easier on resources, than those Electron wrappers. At the same time, it gives what you loved about React - expressiveness for UI.

I wrote a lot of apps in SwiftUI, and it strikes a good balance between type safety and expressiveness, it's cool that we have something similar for GKT/Gnome now.
This is horrible news. Blurring the lines of accountability between people and software in the industry of war is a recipe for Armageddon. It's not only genocide laundering, which is atrocious enough. Unchecked, it will lead to a "stand your ground" type of situation where countries may strike first in anticipation of other actions. I fear for the future.

> in order to steer the business in the direction they are convinced is the right one

It's also necessary to be able to accept that others have other opinions and that to make progress everybody needs to be pulling in the same direction. A decision must be made and most of the time it's not going to be exactly what you're convinced is the perfect direction. Yet, having said your piece and perhaps having influenced the direction, it's necessary to then support the final decision even if you don't precisely agree with it.

A large proportion of people with the qualities you describe are unable to do this, and therefore tend not to be highly regarded by management.

Of course if you consistently find yourself at odds with the eventual direction then you're better off being elsewhere.
At $PREVIOUS_JOB non-compliance was really not an option. Just in my team, for two years, we had at least two people at any time working on MIFID-II compliance upgrades.

Yeah, take something proportional to how big (population) AND rich a country is. Divide this by a metric that grows with how rich a country is. This way poorer but bigger countries score better. But that doesn't tell much.

The other side of the coin is the needlessly defiant people.

The secret to being a decent human being is doing the right thing even when you don't have to... Your peers live a long time, and making powerful enemies is unwise.

In general, succession policy in companies keep the business running when individuals eventually leave. No one person's role should be so uniquely important that a firm will stop growing if they disappear.

In large firms: births, illness , and deaths are a daily occurrence.

In small firms, once the founders leave only a third of companies survive the next 2 years.

You may have your creditors target your firm as well, as the talent pool needed to reach a profit-mode may no longer be seen as viable.

Also, talking about other peoples health issues without consent may be a crime in your region (in my country it is a $93k fine per violation.)

The point of this isn't to hide your actual SSH service, but to tie up resources for those who are somewhat blindly scanning/connecting to any open SSH port.
This is the most robot human post I've ever seen. As others have said, stop thinking about yourself and even about a business as the priority. Get a reality check that business is not life. Support him, talk to him. Then come to an agreement about how you're going to move forward, and talk to actual lawyers for advice about how to deal with anything if he dies.
When economists throw Keynes in the bin where he belongs and accept that inflation is not because of lack of spending, but because of an ever expanding money supply.

Golang works well for this application because it can easily cope with very large numbers of idle goroutines.

What the author may be missing is that golang also works well for bots and scanners, for exactly the same reason. Attackers' time isn't being "wasted" by this, their goroutines are just sitting idle for longer.
I disagree.

The percentage of datacenters around the globe is very small (like 1%). In contrast this saves us a tremendes amount of co2 due to optimization of logistics, doing your bank business at home, calling someone instead of meeting them etc.

Datacenters are in my opinion the biggest net positives for co2, are easy to make green, have the most money behind them (which means faster and better investments) and are ooperated by our leading tech companies, who will use this to push further the industry of green energy.

Those datacenters and especially AI energy investments are also the biggest research advantage we have. Optimizing solar energy gains and storage capacity. We need them for simulating/generating new materials, production processies, etc.

We need to do a LOT in regards of heating. Heating is critical.
The content of mens messages had a lot to do with rate of responses. I don't remember if that was quantized in any way to try to control for it and remove it as a variable, or if it was just some article that showed what the average messages were, but it was bad, and I don't think rate of response is meaningful without factoring that in somehow.
> Then again I don't know what people would expect from a politics editor with a liberal arts background.

I'd expect better from them than from technologists who actually understand the technology, becuase the latter typically have unreserved praise for their creations and complete blindness to the negative effects of technology on society.
