Wait until you hear where much of the technology in your iPhone, Mac, Windows, Intel and so much else comes from.

With idiots like these, no wonder tech companies in the US look to hire in Israel.
I really want to switch to Linux full time. I’ve done it in the past for years at a time, but nowadays I stay on Windows because of a specific game I play with some friends that requires a kernel anti-cheat…

For anyone looking to switch to Linux (especially people who play games or make video content), Nobara[1] is the best desktop distro I’ve used by far — it’s the one I used most recently and it’s the only one I actually wanted to stick with. I’ve tried a bunch of different distros but this is the only one where I truly felt like “it’s the year of the Linux desktop”. I didn’t need to use the terminal at all, or manually set up drivers, or custom kernels, or edit config files, or anything. It just works out of the box and I install stuff with the built in app store. The only things that didn’t work were all caused by some company being stubborn (games not enabling the Linux support that comes with their anticheat, Nvidia not adding some features to their driver related to screen capture)

You’re a company, so you have to start thinking as one.

You’re not paying a lot for an accountant, you’re investing money that will generate free time and availability for other tasks.

If you don’t enjoy something, don’t do it. Pay someone else to do it. If your company has a net profit at the end of the year, you have budget to offload tasks to others, who enjoy them and are faster at them.

Get a manager. Find a business coach who you can have 1-on-1s with once a month, quarter, week, whatever you need. You need to be able to vent about clients, get constructive feedback, review how you handled specific situations, etc.

And, no, you can’t use your life partner for this.
Yeah because all that research and knowledge completely dissipates because the business hasn’t recouped its R&D costs.

Apple famously brought the iPhone into existence without any prior R&D or failed attempts to build similar devices.
I just started to distro-hop again to find the flavor of Linux I like. My current plan is to use a lightweight but slick distro for day-to-day stuff, to maximize battery life, plus GPU pass-through to a VM for gaming. If I don’t get that to work, I’ll just dual boot.

Any distro recommendations for a good small-footprint distro? So far Void, Sparky and Manjaro have caught my eye. If I decided to commit to gaming in Linux, I’d choose Pop!_OS though, just for the great nVidia driver support.

I really wish these projects, usually financed partially by European grants and other such schemes (aka tax payers), would release the raw data and let people develop their own experience with it.

Open data from museums are the only way I can see it being archived for the long term benefit of society.

PS: why the downvotes? It's literally written at the end but there's no download link anywhere...

I'm happy that he's pouring money into the metaverse, and glad that it's not my money.
"different game"

But what game? What is the AI play that makes giving it away a win for meta?
on the other hand, LLMs are often better then Google.
>I didn't expect this kind of nonsense

Serious question: why not? What out of SV and VC in the past 20 years has shown they have any intention of doing anything the expensive but "good/right" way rather than cut any corner, oversell, overpromise, underdeliver, and literally commit crime to get their paycheck?
> Someone here commenting on this story said that Lambda counted their student TAs in their employment stats, for example, but to the best of my knowledge this never happened. There were a handful (like three or four that I know of) that we did hire as full-time staff doing real jobs, and I'm pretty sure we counted them as employed, but not the student TAs.

That's true. A source of confusion is that the school did hire at least one bootcamp graduate as an instructor, though he graduated from a different bootcamp. And it's worth pointing out that the marketing material promised world class instruction, and a fresh bootcamp grad with zero industry experience is the very opposite of that. For that matter, the head of the data science program was the CEO's brother, whose only industry experience was from a no-name company in Utah.

> With respect to this ruling...

It's a waste of time to argue the semantics of income share agreements at this point. They always operated in a gray area, which is why Lambda School hired lobbiests to try to make them officially legal. That effort failed, and the law has decided they're just another form of loans with convoluted hoops to jump through.

I imagine that they got that $4,000 number from all the people who attended the program, received zero practical skills to get jobs, went on to further training (another bootcamp or even an associates degree) and still had to pay back the company because the terms of the ISAs lasted anywhere from five to eight years.

> Still others complain about the selling of the ISAs to investors, and say that that means that Lambda would still make money no matter how well their students performed. However, this would be a very short-sighted strategy as no investors would buy the ISAs if the students weren't performing.

Given the ISAs disappeared from the marketplaces that resold them to hedge funds, that sounds like exactly what happened. The issue is that it fooled prospective students into thinking, "Hey, if this company is able to run off ISAs, the program must work!" In fact the company made money by leaving hedge funds as bag holders.

> My point is, there's a lot of information out there by a lot of people who aren't sure about what they're talking about. And it can be tough to know what's real and what's not.

The same is probably true of Bernie Madoff, Charles Ponzi, and Sam Bankman-Fried. When someone acts like a sociopath for long enough, people start to assume that everything they do is unethical. There is a long list of crimes that the company committed which have been verified from multiple sources. A few people on the internet getting the details wrong doesn't invalidate that.

> As part of my layoff agreement, I had to sign a non-disparagement clause to get my severance.

They did the same thing to students who scrounge together the money to hire a lawyer to get out of their ISAs. These students had to any reference to Lambda School from their LinkedIn profile and tell nobody about what happened. While you did it to make money, imagine how it would feel sign away your right to free speech for fear of a $30,000 debt.
I swear I really tried hard and looked very hard for information. I never could transfer that pro license from one computer to another, an inifinite maze of unhelpful Microsoft web pages, wasted hours on this.
That's the point. He does things because he is excited about something, not to please shareholders. Shareholders didn't liked Metaverse at all. And shareholders likely don't like spending billion dollar in GPUs just to give the benefit away for free to others.
Anyone can direct me to alternative ways of running this on a cloud server? I want to fully host it myself on runpod or similar service. Thank you!
Cloudflare uses workerd as the runtime, not really the same thing as the browser. They do have compatible APIs however.
I'm using r2modman on Arch for Lethal Company and RoR2, has that worked for you? I have it and steam installed from the AUR/Repo's, I suspect flatpak would cause issues.

I definitely get just keeping windows around. I'm lucky enough that things usually have Just Worked, and I don't use VR.
We used WorldCheck data at my last startup, it was the best in the business at the time. High quality groomed data, well tagged, with an actual timeline for each entity that explains why they're in there. Absolute top notch.
The law does allow you to sell your rights, it happens in all countries in the world, and where the line is drawn is completely circumstantial and unprincipled. Consider what it means to pay someone for their silence, or conversely to pay someone to say things.
Medical software and devices are held to a higher standard of correctness. And because that correctness can be empirically measured, why shouldn't it be? At least humans are currently capable of saying "I don't know" and until GPTs are too, I don't think they are suitable for medical advice. But I did enjoy reading the satire, thank you!
Maybe you should consider that others may not share your views on Lex's lack of charisma or interesting thoughts.
There was plenty of negativity before Cybertruck. It was the most shorted stock. People were betting on when it would go bankrupt. Etc etc.
That's Paul Graham's account, so maybe not just speculation. I didn't realize he still read this site. Not to jump on to OPs paranoia but I kind of thought he was frequenting some secret meta-HN site that still talks about entrepreneurship. Paul, if you see this, let me in! I swear I won't complain about capitalism!
That’s what I inferred from your comment
3090, trivially.

No reason to go 4090 as it's no more capable, and the 5090 is probably not going to have more than 24GB on it either simply because nVidia wants to maintain their margins through market segregation (and adding more VRAM to that card would obsolete their low-end enterprise AI cards that cost 6000+ dollars).
I like the Arkell versus Pressdram.

Your portrayal of evolutionary processes oversimplifies the intricate dynamics at play. While you emphasize the complexity of cellular mechanisms, suggesting that such complexity cannot arise from "random mutations" alone, you overlook the essential role of natural selection. This process is anything but random; it is the methodical mechanism through which advantageous traits are favored over time, shaping complex biological forms.

Moreover, referencing Michael Behe's concept of "irreducible complexity" and Michael Denton's "Evolution: A Theory in Crisis" does little to undermine the robust body of empirical evidence supporting evolutionary theory. These critiques, while provocative, have been extensively rebutted in peer-reviewed research. The consensus among biologists is clear and based on a wide array of studies—from genetic sequencing to fossil records—that collectively validate evolutionary theory.

To dismiss evolutionary biology as an "unproven theory" is to ignore the comprehensive and corroborative data gathered over decades. Such a stance not only misrepresents the nature of scientific inquiry, where theories are continually tested and refined but also underestimates the adaptive power of natural processes documented in both the laboratory and the wild.
Do they have a VR experience too?
I really like this idea because it avoids the issue of fuzzers needing to burn tons of CPU just to get down to the actual domain logic, which can have really thorny bugs. Per usual, the idea of "unit" gets contentious quickly, but with appropriate tooling I could foresee adding annotations to code that leverage random input, property-based testing, and a user-defined dictionary of known weird inputs.
Oh god don't watch their teeth! Proper creepy.

Still, apart from the teeth this looks extremely convincing!
SpaceX’s propulsive recovery testing began over ten years ago, meaning a development campaign starting today would be ten years behind SpaceX if they can progress at the same speed. It seems crazy to me that essentially no one is even trying to follow the path demonstrated by SpaceX.
Google is hopeless at doing things offline. You can't even search for photos by their filename in the Android Google Photos app without enabling "backup to the cloud" first.
they are talking about the Xeon Scalable name. Just like they retired the Core name from the consumer versions.
Indeed, however there are still a few legacy games that I love playing that still do not work on Linux so I still keep Windows around for these. One of those long tail problems I guess.
everyone is well aware of data collection and targeted advertising

they may be aware of it happening, but they are not aware of the consequences, risks and dangers. they have no idea how that data can be misused. identity-theft, scams, stalking, harassment, doxxing, leaking of private information (your daughter is pregnant, gambling or other controversial activities) and who knows what else that can be enabled with access to this data.
Who stiffed him and how
Windows 7 was great from a technical point of view (as was XP with the later service packs), but parent is correct that XP started the erosion of users rights. It was the first version of Windows that required users to agree to an EULA upon installation. Prior to this you simply had to follow the law (copyright, trademark, etc).

It was the first version of windows that required external activation (via internet or telephone). Prior to this you just needed the activation code that came with the packaged software. IIRC it was also the first version that tied OEM software to the hardware you purchased it on.

It required you to agree to telemetry for the first time.

It was the first version of Windows that included DRM baked into the OS, and required you to agree to install updates to that DRM as needed.

It required different licensing for based on the number of processors in your computer, and the number of computers that connected to it over the network.

The EULA seems mild (and short!) compared to those today, but it was a big deal in technical circles at the time, and started the slow boiling of the frog.

> Russia did not stop after 3 days, didn’t it?

given trillion oil/gaz dollars pumped into war machine, and that after initial attack they now stuck fighting for some minor settlements for 2 years already against much weaker opponent, we can conclude they are effectively stopped, at least for now.

> I’m pretty sure China can take Taiwan if it wants to

Taiwan has a sea as defense line, which will be very hard to cross.
I do the same. I hate "notifications" and very few things are so potentially important that I need to be interrupted by them. Effectively zero notifications have any real urgency. Also apps and websites treat notifications like an invitation to spam you. I default deny every request for notifications.
I don't think it's a YMMV thing: no one claims it is useless, in fact, there's several specific examples of it being necessary.
> “obviously, the people mentioned … aren’t [female] at all”, but “men performing their idea of femaleness”.

the bracketed word there I replaced is [women]. The remarkable thing about this sentence, is how wrong it is with the word it chose, and how correct it is with that one word changed.

No one thinks people biologically born men have an XX chromosome. No one disputes that. The discussion is that "performing femaleness" is learned by societal expectations around how females vs males act. There's nothing inherent to female biology that says they have to have long hair. There's nothing inherent to female biology that says they have to wear skirts. There's nothing inherent to female biology that says they have to wear earings.

We created societal constructs around these ideas. And then we started assigning behaviors to these ideas that are similarly not anything to do with biology. And accordingly, we have 2 different words. One of them "woman" refers to how people present. The other of them "female" refers to the biology of someone. No one is trying to trick you into thinking they're female. Some people associate more with the traits we typically ascribe to "women" than the traits we typically ascribe to "men" and don't want to be called names for not conforming to typically "masculine" traits. Also vice versa.

This whole article is clearly just clickbait. They're not having an argument with a real person.
As K8s matures it's likely we will get some kind of LTS versioning scheme.

Having new realeases so often for such a core infrastructure component is kinda insane unless it was explicitly architected to allow seeamless upgrades.
What do you all have as your actual product? I feel that's the toughest part: having a product that can be easily maintained by one person yet still gain and retain customers.

> ...it's a wash between Windows enshittification and Linux rough edges.

I thought I would feel this way as well, but I came to the realization that, ultimately, my productivity is still better with Linux. And, well, I feel a little better knowing that I'm no longer subjected to Microsoft's monetarily-derived whims.
Only if you’re not pigeonholed.

That promotion is going to need a backfill and the organization may decide that it’s best to keep you in your place. Though it could lead to being able to negotiate a raise earlier than normal.
I have tried both. Elysia is nice but one thing I noticed is it absolutely trashed my typescript language server in webstorm, not even using complex routers. Elysia kind of abuses templates, so even simple configurations take a while to process.
I mostly agree with you. I listened to Fridman primarily because of the high profile AI/tech people he got to interview. Even though Lex was a terrible interviewer, his guests were amazing.

Dwarkesh has recently reached the level where he's also interviewing these high profile AI/tech people, but it's so much more enjoyable to listen to, because he is such a better interviewer and skips all the nonsense questions about "what is love?" or getting into politics.

This opinion is backed by 3 years of seeing their product stagnate despite huuuge investments.
I don't think that was the issue. VRChat was basically the same idea but done in a more appealing way and it was (still is) wildly popular.
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it.
The other manufactures are fine I think as google still build a quality phone to house their cutting edge tech.
I figure it's somewhat easier since you don't have to manage employees, no?
It doesn't have the same clickbait punch to say "homeowners with greater liquidity and access to loans." The title is supposed to convey rich people using their hoards of cash to push up housing prices.
Wayfair has demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt at this point that as a company they place little value on their employees. They're certainly not the only ones, but this is a timely reminder to be watchful of the signals companies send and be clear about your priorities.
Wow. I was just telling 2 co-workers this week that I keep a "How the F" file on my machine. It is not exactly what the author describes, but it's very similar and includes all the "how th f do i do this thing again?" every time I run into a problem when I'm new to a team.

I don't bring it to management's attention like the author suggests, but it gives me a perspective on what sticking points the team and company have that I need to work through over time.
It goes further than "not unheard of". Clean room design (one team reverse engineers a product, then writes product specifications, then a new team implements a compatible product) is an established business practice to replicate a product while avoiding liability for copyright infringement.
Hackers come in many different flavors. It's entirely possible that this group is state sponsored. Would that really change anything?

I don't see anyone seriously claiming that leaking this data would deliver any sort of legitimate justice.
Regarding the apps, you might want to check out this project on GitHub [0]. I came across this while doing some research about Fusion 360 on Linux and while I haven’t tried it yet, it is well trafficked and looks promising. In general, Wine has matured a lot making more things like this possible.

Regarding OneNote, the P3X project is worth checking out [1].

Regarding cursor acceleration, I’ve stopped trying to use Wayland and generally find that X11 is pretty rock solid. Many distros now focus on aesthetic optimizations, and coupled with ChatGPT as a configuration assistant, I haven’t gotten stuck on issues like this.

If you really want to minimize the footprint, Alpine Linux is amazing. Be forewarned that it has some sharp edges by virtue of being very different from most distros (musl, busybox, openrc). But like, I run it on my desktop and it's perfectly fine. Even runs the Steam flatpak with only minor effort; that was my main gaming rig for a good long while.
I dunno. I find a conviction in passion in founder CEOs that is missing in folks who replace them.

Compare Larry & Sergey with Pichai, or Gates with Balmer.
Thanks. This didn't get a lot of traction on HN but people seem to enjoy it.
I haven't tried Llama 3 yet, but Llama 2 is indeed extremely "safe." (I'm old enough to remember when AI safety was about not having AI take over the world and kill all humans, not when it might offend a Puritan's sexual sensibilities or hurt somebody's feelings, so I hate using the word "safe" for it, but I can't think of a better word that others would understand).

It's not quite as bad as Gemini, but in the same class where it's almost not useful because so often it refuses to do anything except lecture. Still very grateful for it, but I suspect the most useful model hasn't happened yet.
Putting all your personal data you've put on Facebook, and all the relationship you have there behind a paywall really is racketeering.
> ULA has a contract for possibly 83 launches from Amazon for Kuiper.

To put that into perspective, a single SpaceX booster could cover 25% of those launches!
It is unsurprising to see that RickO beat Hiroshi for the title of grand poobah of devices and platforms. Hiroshi always made the impression of a very smart guy. Rick always made the impression of a good politician. Politicians always win

>Give me better AI autocomplete, AI image correction, AI noise cancellation..

We have all those, some of it we've had a long time, we just didn't call it AI.
We should be extremely hard on these people. They have accumulated staggering amounts of money and power and use it to exercise influence over many aspects of our daily life.

As a society we should work tirelessly to hold them accountable and break up their concentrated power when it develops.
