I think the claim is rather that idea is not the high-order bit in an early-stage startup funding decision; founders are.

There's no success without eventually finding a good idea, especially since 'successful in the end' is practically the definition of 'good idea', or close enough to be inseparable.

So it's not so much "ideas don't matter" as "starting ideas don't matter", as long as you're the type of founder who can excecute on an idea, change it as needed, and drop it when necessary.
Well then, aren't we lucky that there are so many people who want to come to America? It might be a good idea to, y'know, let them in and allow them to work.

This is such an easy to solve problem. If only we would decide to solve it.
I don't think that should be the first step. Trying to voice your frustrations is an important first step, maybe leave if you eventually find the organisation impervious to change, but simply leaving as a first step isn't the right way to do things.

What’s pathetic is that you think your third grade level of reasoning on the topic makes you morally superior. It doesn’t. It just makes you a buffoon.

Every government requires corporations (and thus people) to do things I think are unethical. All of them. I still expect foreign ones to follow our laws, and us theirs, because to not do so is also unethical.

It’s not the role of a corporation to fight every battle. Apple shouldn’t tank a trillion dollar company (their profits come entirely from things manufactured in China) to fight removing two more apps. A lot of livelihoods in both countries might be lost over something that makes no difference, which itself could be considered ethical.

The world isn’t as simple as you are. And you’d remove those apps in two seconds if Apple were dumb enough to put you in charge.

Difference between USA and Japan. Japan is far more centralized than USA. Not saying that is a better system, but it may be advantageous to handle declining population.
It keeps chugging, but it's not terribly useful for a typical person. Close to $20 for a transaction that takes an hour or so to complete is kinda rough.
I disagree: I'd rather see people use the original title (when it's not clickbait) and leave a comment with the context that they feel is important. That places your sense of what context is important on the same footing as everyone else's and doesn't allow the submitter to shape the discussion more than is warranted.

That I do not understand. Insulting a president is indirectly insulting half of the country which chosen him. That's OK. At the same time, insulting black people or homosexuals is not OK, despite them being a small minority of the entire population.

Also I think that if we will focus on this particular thing: whether there are legal repercussion for insulting a country leader, that might reveal plenty of countries where it's not allowed. So China might be not an outlier.

Here's some wikipedia that I've found about this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A8se-majest%C3%A9 and while most western countries allow to insult their leader, that's definitely not all of them.
The "housing shortage" is due to a shortage of housing. This is entirely self-inflicted by various cities that have illegalized all the easy ways of increasing density (see San Francisco for the reductio ad absurdum case), at the prompting of deeply NIMBY voters who oppose anything that will increase construction regardless of claimed political beliefs.

> clearly they are dumb AF

Man, it’s wild you think this. It’s like that old story about how a fish would be considered dumb for not being able to climb a tree, and a monkey dumb for not being able to swim under water. Are chickens dumb AF on the things we use to rate human intelligence? Sure. But they are massively in tune with their environment and adapt to changing light and temperatures in ways that are highly intelligent and beyond human capacity. Same with how attuned they are to predators and how they respond. They’re also smart enough to clearly behave in ways different enough and consistent enough as to form personalities.

I’ve got a flock of around 35 and wouldn’t label them dumb at all.
Wouldn't ChatGPT be a p-zombie? Unless of course one thinks it's conscious.
> You build the biggest thing you can within a parcel because there is plenty of demand at the top of the market.

I know many people who have built many homes and I don't know a single one who thought that way or built a house that reflects it.

While impacted by practical needs to a degree, preferred home size is just a fashion that changes over time and amounts to personal taste.

The 3500sf McMansion of yesterday becomes the "who would want to maintain and heat all that?!" of tomorrow, the cramped matchbox of yesterday becomes the Eco Friendly Tiny Home of tomorrow, etc

People build for the intersection of they want to budget and either: what they want to live in, or what their near-term anticipated buyer is assumed to want in light of current trends.
Afair Apple users also get those higher bitrates by default, for free.
I don't know that I made my point as clear as I should, but what I was saying is that starting a business does require a mindset that is more tolerant to risk.

I do think that there's a bit of overlap in that part of the mentality of people who gamble and people who start businesses. You have to accept that there's a good chunk of luck with starting a business, and also acknowledge that if you don't have that luck that the business will likely go belly-up.

What I was getting at is I am personally a coward. I don't say this with pride, and this isn't some attempt at humble-bragging or anything, it's a dig at myself, not entrepreneurs.

Sometimes being a coward isn't a bad thing, if nothing else I don't waste my money at casinos, so that's good. But because I'm so terrified of losing money, and so terrified of anything involving "risk", I feel like I took the cowards way out by working for BigCos at a desk job instead of trying to build my own thing. Sometimes I'm a little jealous of the people who can throw caution to the wind.
Which is why that advice confuses the metric for the principle.

This is your exact quote:

"We write code once, but read it many times, so shorter names (incl. namespaces) seems like a poor efficiency choice."

And the point being made is that there are cases where shorter names are actually more readable than longer names and one of those cases is when every name shares a common prefix. By prefixing everything with something common code becomes more uniform, and names become less distinctive and consequently less readable because it's harder to identify and differentiate sections of code. Code ends up looking like a soup of std::s everywhere.

It would be like a chess player who only tries to control the center because someone told them that controlling the center is important, but then repeatedly loses to the King's Indian Defense [1] because they never took the time to fundamentally understand why the center is important and so they don't realize how the King's Indian Defense is used precisely to destabilize the center of the board with sharp angles of attack.

They just blindly apply what they hear... and let me tell you there are plenty of mediocre chess players who do just that.

In almost any field from programming to chess to sports, you can find guidelines and good rules of thumb and I do not want to discourage people from knowing those rules because having heuristics certainly improves productivity. But don't ever let those rules become dogma; at some point it's worth understanding what the principles behind those rules are, when do they apply and when don't they apply.

>Are you even a developer?

Note that you keep trying to make this discussion personal whereas I have kept this discussion about the topic and the argument.

I would respectfully ask you to do the same, let's discuss the topic and avoid making this personal. It's irrelevant how long you've been programming for or how long I've been programming for or even if I am a programmer at all.

Trying to justify arguments on the basis of who you are or who I am is a poor way to go about engineering best practices.

What matters is whether your points can be justified.

I think that I think, therefore I think I am.
Enlighten me please, sincerely. I’m apparently too thick to understand.
The issue is LLM’s also generating the web results. Garbage in, garbage out. The real problem is maintaining the ability to find the ground of real knowledge.
I think it's a no brainer if it's no effort or small effort (set a socket option on the client, somehow)... but it's a big effort to support it in a large load balancing situation.

If you balance your load balancers with ECMP, I don't know if you can get two client streams to the same mptcp terminating place.

If you've optimized the heck out of your tcp flows, this throws a wrench in there, because the second stream is likely to get hashed into a different nic queue, and then you have communication between cpus to move forward on the logical stream.

It would have been really handy though, and solve real issues with real users.

Edit to add: it could also solve some issues on private networking / interserver networking I saw... although the contention would be a much bigger problem on higher bandwidth streams. On networks with link aggregation, while there are many paths from one host to another, usually path selection is by hashing the connection 5-tuple {src ip, dst ip, protocol, src port, dst port} so a long running tcp connection remains on the same path for the duration, if a path segment has high loss/corruption or is congested, MPTCP could help if you had an extra connection that hit a different path. Otherwise, you need to find the segment and get network operations to fix it; it's not easy to figure that out (i had to write a tool to sample and find port combinations with trouble and then a patch for mtr to run a trace with fixed ports) and then you still need to reconnect your affected tcp sockets unless you can get a quick response from net ops (sometimes they can check error stats once the right devices are pointed out to them, and then replacing a cable/fiber often helps, or disconnecting it during investigation can help the traffic flow across the redundant links)

Part of core infrastructure should be in the commons (consider the roads) to lower friction. There are many road builders but to a great extent anybody can drive on any road with any cargo without asking for permission. And that being the case unlocks more innovation.

My family lived from 1969 through 2006 in a house in Colorado with a basement. My stepmother--who grew up in a region with cooler summers--ight have perished of heat exhaustion but for the basement.

I think the situation in Japan is a bit different, with how the overwhelming majority of its population is concentrated into just a few cities, with that concentration intensifying as the few remaining young people in rural areas move to the cities in search of opportunity. The effects of population decline aren’t that visible in Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, etc, but become evident as one travels further away from major metros.

The population of the US, while still weighted toward cities, is for now still considerably more diffused. Even so, I’ve already seen some of the effects in my tiny rural hometown which has seen its population cut in half in the past decade and change since I moved out. The only reason it’s hanging on at all is because of the major highway running through it and because it’s one of the only places to get essentials (grocery stores etc) in the larger area which pulls in residents of surrounding towns, which are even more depopulated.

Microsoft already announced their own ARM server processor so it's really Oracle that's left using Ampere.

Or they might be doing it just to keep their fingers 'warm'. I recall during AlphaStar, there were a lot of questions about why the human pro APMs were so high when it seemed like a lot of them were null ops, and apparently the answer is that they do that just to keep their fingers going and reduce reflex reaction time. (As you can imagine, this would be very bad for imitation learning...)
Wow what a timing? Thanks Dang for penning this. My friend and his cofounders are just getting ready to record their demo. Question for @dang.

If I spend $2M to mine $2M of gold, and the value of that gold increases by 2x over the next 10 years, then I think I could stay in business. That would actually be a pretty solid business.

The value of BTC has increased nearly ~200x in the last 10 years. I don't anticipate it will do this again, but I'm sure some of these miners think it will continue to grow at some rate (plus, they have already capitalized on the last 10yrs of growth).

Yes, the situation that happened here is that the rand package would have made a breaking change.

I haven’t heard of that being the case. The book’s code is tested in CI. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I am saying it’s surprising. It’s certainly a bad experience, though, while the author is wrong about many things, he’s right about that.

Simple answer: yes, they can. For example a state actor or a crazy billionare could spend enough money to launch a 51% attack. Indeed the theoretical attack requires only around 20% of mining power.

Also, the next generation of people could choose another blockchain, Bitcoin turns irrelevant because another blockchain surpasses it in the audience.

What you saw had little to do with decline.
People building their own homes are outliers.

Most homes are built by cookie-cutter block developments, and they make the most money by:

1. Minimizing the size of their lots.

2. Maximizing the size of the homes on the lots.

They subdivide as much as they are allowed to, and build as big as they are allowed to. If the houses in your city are too big, it's because the smallest allowed lot size is.

If we ever caught up with the housing shortage, and there was a glut of housing on the market, maybe developers would start to build smaller, but we aren't there, and we won't be there for the next ~30 years.
The favorite "philosopher" of non-philosophers.
Isn't this kinda similar to what Brian Armstrong said around that time?

(And yeah, he did get dragged for it.)
When a dog rescues a baby from harm, of course it's because it's consciously acting, like a human rescuing a baby from harm. It also shows concept of self. "There is a situation unfolding. I'm an observer to the situation, and a distinct actor; it is possible for me to intervene, with a plan intended to produce a desired outcome, which I will execute."

The dog has similar gray matter in its skull, just of lower complexity. The dog also loses consciousness in the form of sleeping, like a person, and shows signs of having dreams; e.g. moving its paws as if running.

If a dog were not conscious, there would be no point in distinguishing a sleeping dog from a wakeful dog; the two would have to be the same.

Uses under 1.5 MB of memory at any one time (most of it is used for drawing the window).

Unfortunately there is no screenshot and I have no access to a Mac at the moment, but if View.c is where things actually happen, that is a huge amount of memory just for a (resizeable?) window with a little filled rectangle in it. The memory usage of a trivial app like this should be measured in kilobytes.

Comparing applications written in the same language across platforms is IMHO a good gauge of their relative efficiency. From what I've seen, Win32 and Linux (Xlib) are pretty close but Mac is clearly very "think different". I'm sure the liberal use of string constants here doesn't help either.

Here's a related interesting comparison: https://zserge.com/posts/fenster/
I'm playing with the llama 3 8b instruct model out of curiosity, and it is insanely better than the llama 2 on that regard. It's almost like a fully uncensored model. it did refused to make pentest scripts when i asked, which is fine. But it made the scripts after i changed the system prompt to something more 'permissive'. The model seem to adhere more to user commands, and it's more useful overall. It's even good at complex math, which is insane considering even GPT4 is bad at it.

I wasn't sure if meta would release the model to the public, i'm glad they did.

"Mosquitoes enjoy feeding on plant nectar like juices from flowers and fruits, plant sap, honeydew and other fluids from plants. This sugary mosquito food gives them the energy they need to fly, reproduce and sustain themselves." [0]
