At this point, it's not realistic to maintain interesting C++ programs without a build system. That being said, I expect the specific g++ example you provide will end up working with some special casing in the compiler, at least eventually, when someone submits patches to GCC to get it to work.

But mostly, it's not realistic to directly wire up calls to g++ anymore outside of research examples. Note that other compiled languages use systems like gobuild, cargo, Maven, etc. instead of fiddling with gccgo, rustc, javac, etc. directly.

Do you guys still offer deferred admissions for juniors who wish to join a batch after graduation?
In this context, stealth helps with trust and communication. Although that might seem paradoxical, we are initially working with a small number of members reached by word of mouth.

We walk members through our data usage policies in person and ask questions to ensure we understand both their health and privacy concerns. Without long-term trustworthiness on our part, we won't get the longitudinal data that we need to ensure that we continue building the best in class predictive models.

There are other reasons, but that's the biggest one.
Oh wow, employed since NeXT?
(There needs to be an "Apple/NeXT long-hauler oral history" or something. Chris Espinosa, hired 1976, is still around...)
That's the whole issue though, spread of disinformation eroded trust, furthering this into obliteration of all trust is not a good outcome.
I was thinking more in terms of a pharma startup.
> Even a fork that only fixed security bugs will have done better than Redis Labs after this debacle

This describes Redict, not Valkey. I think it's actually great we have two forks, so they can focus on different things.
FWIW, love or hate Bitcoin, the 4th Bitcoin halving is happening in 9 blocks as I type this, give our take 90 mins, probably a bit less.
I would like to know this, but it would get complicated fast.

The robot presumably doesn’t need many breaks and can go all night. But any outage can’t have someone else sub in.
> The problem was, of course, the fact that I didn’t copy-paste right the setup sequence

Sounds like the author did not specify the correct version of a dependency. It should not be surprising to find an incompatible API if using a (presumably) different major version number of a dependency, right?

I would say that failing to compile seems like a best-case scenario here. Serious question -- what would have been a better result in this situation?
Can you give an example of that?

I've rarely seen embeddings with fewer than hundreds of dimensions.

UMAP/T-SNE are dimensional reduction techniques that could maybe considered embeddings, but I haven't encountered that in anything that relates to word2vec or LLMs or much of the current AI fashion.
> I mean, I didn't even graduate college :P

Yes, but did you go to one of those colleges where dropping out is even better than graduating? Because most of us didn't even get the chance to drop out of one of those.
They just block or rate limit it severely when they dont know what it is.
The advantage of 041924 is that, when changing directories from the terminal, you can type 0419 and tab the rest of the way (99% of the time the only completion is 24). It's more efficient. If I prepended the year, I'd have to type out 240419 every time.
YC has apparently been helping many founders get the O-1 visa.

And there are plenty of services that allow you to manage US companies remotely.
Not a god damned thing.
Is there example how to do that on mac. Just happy to have an old emu ibm 5100 sun x program. Wonder I need to boot up a vm or can try squartz …
I had the same question.

Most YC founders seem to be new college graduates instead of seasoned FAANG folks. I'm in the latter camp and believe I'm better off leveraging my connections because I've aged out of YC.
Video is fine(it's just a minute), but why LinkedIn URL is required(not optional)?

LinkedIn is about education, career, and networking. I am under average in all of them, so I'm not registered. This is the only thing which holding me back from applying. Otherwise, I work full-time on kick-ass product for months with 1000+ commits.
I was under the impression that this idea of cofounders being a huge statistical success factor was pretty much just a myth.

Moreover, all reasons given by YC as to why you should have a cofounder are qualitative e.g. https://www.ycombinator.com/library/8h-how-to-find-the-right....

Would love to see the statistical evidence because if anything it seems to be the other way round and this is pretty much just reflective of YC’s personal preference as it were (and many VCs prefer otherwise). Personally I would only advise someone to take on a cofounder if they already know them well and need their skill set. There is so much risk in a poor fit that it far outweighs any theoretical benefit.
Is being used as pump fuel
I know you probably posted that as a semi-joke, but it's true that the US keeps treating terrible corporations with kid gloves. If a human does something heinous, the government and the general public want to throw the book at him, but if a corporation does something heinous, all of a sudden it's "Well, let's not be so hasty... think of the economy, and all those jobs they are providing! Maybe we should send them another letter asking them pretty please, don't do heinous things."
Can you give a recent example of a number 1? The problem I see is that a a piece of advice that got thrown out on twitter was "We applied without an idea and we got in, here's how we did it!" and the advice ends up being along the lines of "We didn't know what else to do, so we reached out to our Penn alumni network and got a referral"
what’s very funny is i made this comment well after the thread was flagged and removed from the front page, it garnered a bunch of upvotes, but then hours after it suddenly gets a spike of downvotes.

I see this trend a lot on this site whenever saying anything even slightly derogatory about google. Might be a fun side project to work on to quantify this.
MI1-2 were already plenty wacky, though.

Claiming a sequel that aligned more with the look and feel of the original couldn't have worked is neither here nor there, because it was never attempted, and so it can't be dismissed as the wrong way to go.
Product Launch Sites
This day holds a specific significance to me, as it's ten years since my first psychedelic experience - with LSD.
The civil war in the biohacking movement
I’m in the same boat, except now actively planning to take off to work on a side project. Rather than spend another year building a prototype for a potential $100M idea (last two landed me really nice jobs) I have my eyes set on ideas that will generate $3-6M/year that I can realize on my own with minimal/no outside funding.

I may apply to this YC round for giggles, but totally get the same feeling as you that I’m probably not good enough in their eyes. As Paul Graham said, if you are out chasing VC funding, you are not building your product. So just going to focus on making my life comfortable and launching another successful product or service.

Good luck!
To those who downvote: admit it, if climate justice was to be established in your terms, I would pay more for my rebellion than someone with a carbon footprint 10 times as big as mine. It's an ideological fight far removed from measurable facts (even if it pretends the opposite) where submission to the ideology overrides any other consideration.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Countdown experience for the 4th Bitcoin halving
> In the few interviews I did I made a point to ask for intros at the end and although they say "sure", it's crickets afterwards.

Are you doing these in person or virtually? If you're doing it in person, you're already at the end and have the data you're looking for from the person you're talking with. "Do you know any other people I should talk to?" "Yeah" "Ok, could I just write their names down right now here?"
I don't disable it at all.

Blocking ads saves bandwidth and battery from phones and laptops.

The time when websites used to have the right balance between ads and user experience has passed many years ago, and it's not going to change any time soon.

Honestly, I think it is going to get even worse because Google already knows that people will be eventually using more LLM than searching on a Browser. For most people, it is a much more convenient experience.

That's why your search results are now getting worse than used to be. These bloated websites are being much more promoted in the search ranking system. Generating income while search engines are still relevant for most people.
"but it wouldn't treat the actual underlying causes and may expose me to harm potentially."

There are so mamy people that think depression is just a chemical imbalance that can be solved by treatments and ignore the fact that many times there is a legitimate cause for their valid feelings.
Could a video game developer win the Nobel Prize for Literature?
The CV of Thomas Vidick, one of the two people that found the bug, is quite impressive. Undergrad at ENS in France (ranked 1st), PhD at Berkeley (3.97/4.0), postdoc at MIT under Scott Aaronson, and now full professor at Caltech. He literally wrote a book on the topic (Introduction to Quantum Cryptography). So, yeah.

Spains (and much of Europe's) old growth forests were also almost completely denuded much earlier than that to build most of the Roman Empire, and its vast mining operations, naval flotillas and so forth. Yet they grew back to again disappear roughly around the Renaissance over 1000 years later.

The interesting thing is that many modern popular social discussions (and even some pop sci arguments) speak of old growth forests as irreplaceable things that, if cut down, pretty much disappear when history clearly shows that this isn't true.

I don't defend cutting them down just because, but I think it's good to be honest about their ability to come back.
You’re at the end of a long and well-monied line of people (read: pharma companies) that want to get the attention of health care professionals. Lifetime customer value of patients can be extremely high so healthcare companies will spend (within legal limits) a lot of money to influence doctors.

Doctors know this - and they do take advantage of it from time to time. But you’re competing with a lot of money for highly valuable time. Maybe consider going where doctors go (e.g. conferences) and bothering them there?
Sorry missed this. It was hidden behind login before. It should now be reachable.
It's not about feeling like your safety is threatened physically or that you will be hurt or killed. I agree "threatened" or "safety" language is slightly out of place - but I'm not sure what the right alternative is.

The issue is, imagine you disagree with these protesters. Do you feel comfortable saying "Actually, I support Israel because X, Y, and Z. This isn't really a genocide, blah blah blah." I think most people would not feel comfortable disagreeing with a small crowd loudly protesting.

Nor should you feel comfortable, in my view, expressing that opinion at work. That opinion might make other people with contrasting opinions feel uncomfortable. It might make them hate you. Work isn't about opining on politics or current affairs, it's about, in Google's case, slightly altering your login form or cancelling products. Employees at work should focus on their jobs, or privately talk with people they are comfortable around - not really a problem if two friends and coworkers have a small political debate over lunch, more of a problem if there is a conversation imposed on unwilling participants.

The issue is that some people violate this unspoken agreement and force their political fixations on everyone else.
I was aware of the license change but not of the forks. Now I am.
His comment was accurate, yours was misleading, seemingly deliberately. AGW is not in scientific dispute; the skeptics are merely unscientific -- politically motivated, if you will.
I'm a YC founder and I dropped out of not-one-of-those colleges (RPI). My cofounder dropped out of high school.

Why not just give it a shot? Find the powerful parts of your story (I'm sure they exist) and share them!

We applied, as GP advocates for, mostly to sharpen our thinking. Just the application process would've been worth the time, even if we had gotten declined immediately. The interview 10x'd that value, then the YC batch itself was another multiple on top of that.
Sorry to hear that experience.

I've come to discount any form of flattery in intro emails. E.g. when a FAANG recruiter emails me "wow, we were impressed by your public project!", I used to believe it.

Now I know it's just a synonym for "join the back of the line of 17,639,838 applicants."
> I can fork VSCode

Well, sort of. You lose a whole bunch of stuff (e.g., Pylance) by doing so.
Agreed. The community can be very welcoming, which I sincerely appreciate, but seems like it could be prone to issues similar to the recent Hyprland dev's situation. The loudly broadcasted politically-relevant values mostly align with my own, but to me feel uncomfortably out of place at times.
Re the “won’t get in” point..

We applied a few years ago. I won’t lie, I was sad and disappointed we didn’t get in, but even more so because our application was just ignored. Left a very bad taste in our mouths.

I won’t again spend days on an application to have it be ignored. Since then, we have been grinding away at the same business and it’s now making 7 figures, giving us the perfect life of a 20% YoY growth business with no VCs breathing down our necks trying to 10x that growth rate. Not taking VC money was the best thing we ever did, albeit inadvertently.

So sure, you won’t get in (statistically), but it could be the best thing you ever don’t do!
Redis hasn’t materially changed since about 2.8 so tbh unmaintained is more than fine.
> Some predecessors, like DigiCash, were too reliant on trusted authorities and so never gained market acceptance.

Aren’t bitcoin holders trusting that no authority/state actor is going to 51% attack the blockchain?
The weirdest thing people do is make up criteria that YC supposedly uses to reject people. There was such a huge diversity in our batch: From 20 y/o to 40+. Foreign, domestic. Credentialed, not credentialed. $1M rev run rate, $0 run rate. Just apply.

Steve Jobs went to an obscure private school called Reed which seems to be something he became obsessed with due to LSD.

Lol, this is laughably far from my lived experience, and I imagine that of many others.

Child has ego → wants to be important → demonstrates a certain talent → identifies a dominance hierarchy predicated on that talent → consumes the mythology of the intrinsic importance of that dominance hierarchy, storied by generations of those who climbed it → spend your life climbing to the top of that dominance hierarchy.

For me it is: child has fun, wants to continue to have fun → realizes he has the most fun making things with people he loves → realizes society won't let him do what he wants to do unless he checks arbitrary boxes → spends time having fun making things instead of checking boxes → spend life trying to find a comfortable place to have fun making things and enjoying family.

The author may deny my internal motivations and assume I'm self-deluded all they want, but I am quite convinced that I know myself far better than them. I'm interested in having done things I find meaningful, not being someone of importance, and the actions of my life back up that assertion.

This article is an overly simplistic view of the world and human motivations. You get to choose if this is how you live your life, and you really can choose purpose and values other than ego. Ego and greed may be the norm for modern culture, and may be the typical way that the corporate world operates, but it is certainly not the only way. It's almost narcissistic how much it assumes that everyone else's motivations are exactly like the author's.
Probably prosemirror. I don't know that it's built in by default, but it's well within prosemirror's model, so it shouldn't require a large investment to use.

That said, prosemirror's got a pretty steep learning curve.
Blaming tools is rather dumb to me. That good software has been made with languages other than Rust proves that the issue is not the tool but rather the person using the tool. Additionally, claiming that a language’s compiler automatically solves an issue is actually just shifting trust from one’s self to someone else who is magically better because reasons.
We don't know from saccades that consciousness can't be continuous. We just know that the physical impressions on our retina do not map 1 to 1 to our visual conscious experience. The brain does all sorts of things to the raw information it receives before that information rises to the level of phenomenal consciousness.
This is really cool, I'm definitely going to be using this. I love theming support. Some feedback:

1. The slider for the blur on the custom theme bg image should have some sort of label - I had no idea what it did until I tried it while trying to figure out why all the images I uploaded looked like blurry shit (my fault for picking images with a lot of detail, but hey)

2. For the time widget, there should be a 12-hr time option that omits the AM/PM. I know what half of the day I'm in, and I want the time as big as possible.

3. For that matter, let us resize the clock widget, and the rest of the widgets where feasible (top sites especially)

4. Bug: the iframe widget worked at first and then... just stopped displaying anything for me. Not even an iframe tag in the div. It's a github pages site of my own, so it shouldn't be blocked. (I'm using Edge on Windows 10)

5. If feasible, let us resize the page INSIDE that iframe to make it smaller, or at least hide the scrollbars.

6. A bunch of the substack feeds in the RSS just have "..." for the second (preview?) line. It'd be nice if I could hide those (Or have a mode in between default and "compact", since I want to see authors for each post in the feed)

7. Having humidity on the weather widget would be nice (also maybe default to F/mph if the locale is USA? :P)

8. For tab groups I'd like a (2x2?) grid of the favicons it contains, but I suppose I can use a custom icon for that.

Feature requests aside, this is actually really well put-together in general.
Consumer != mainstream

Brown Danube: How Belgrade's sewers taint Europe's famous river
Yeah I have been trying soo hard to get into rust (My current stacks are very heavily Go based so performance for services is not a big concern for me and neither is the programming model - for doing long-running orchestration kinda work Go's CSP style is a god send). Main reason for wanting to get into Rust was doing more systems level stuff - ie CUDA, Parsers, DSLs etc. And frankly even though I thought i was great at learning new languages Rust has demanded a more distraction-free learning curve. Yep memsafety is great and all but if I cannot onboard piecemeal and I have to incur a reset each time I have to come back to it (say after a weak) that is a huge deal breaker.

No one, even the most ardent of postmodernists, is going to disagree that science is a very successful human enterprise and produces progress that philosophy cannot. But that doesn't mean science approaches an account of reality on its own terms. To suggest otherwise is to postulate additional metaphysical baggage that even I, the lowly philosopher, find intolerable.
