Yeah, I am struggling a bit with this analogy of a car.

I am building a what I can only describe as "Supplement discovery based on science and not marketing". It requires that I create a database of supplements available on the market, then allow to compare them at a ingredient level to understand which is the best one to buy.

I started building this out of frustration of trying to figure out which supplement I should buy myself. It took a ton of time to build a comparison table ( Here is one example https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vQcLEAPk5lcg-4YR_dwD... ).

So I validated with a spreadsheet that people find it useful. And then I started building the data model for representing this across all supplements. And this is where things have gone a bit south. Somehow now I have most ingredient data at a molecular level. I tell myself that I needed to go this deep to ensure data quality (def don't want to accidentally misrepresent ingredients).

I am over this hump now, i.e. I have indexed and categorized every ingredient of over 10k+ supplements. Now I am just building the UI to compare them, but it feels like dug myself into a whole for a good part of the week. Will see what happens once I make this public; if people use it would be hugely rewarding.

But going to the car analogy... my mind is telling me that doors, a windscreen, or bike rack are all nice to have things that translate to various compromises in the UI. Just keeping that extremely simple. But that data integrity is not something I can compromise on (it is like letting car for a ride with an engine that may break).

Don't know how this way of looking at things is true for others. Sometimes I feel like I just have an OCD specific to designing the underlying data architecture.
But those areas probably don't have the energy of a large metropolis, do they?

Sounds like the artist wanted an affordable place to live that _also_ has the feel of a large city. For creative work, that could be important.

Pretty sure John D. Rockefeller talked politics. William Randolph Hearst had his own newspaper and gave rise to the term "yellow journalism". Henry Ford was a fascist, complete with glowing admiration for Hitler.

Wealthy individuals have always opened their mouths, were quite loud, and quite often spewed sewage through said orifices. Far too many equated economic success with comprehensive intelligence and expertise in all things.

Musk is nothing new among the extremely wealthy, but has the potential to do just as much damage to the social fabric as his predecessors.
Once again, an article completely misconstrued the entire issue. It's not about banning TikTok, it's about banning Chinese ownership of TikTok. It will continue. Under a different owner.

IMO the tiny 1950's boxes were the start of the problem. "Everybody gets a house", yet it made for an extreme pressure for kids to gtfo as soon as possible rather than living in the bedroom across the hall from your parents (assuming the parents even allow that).

My grandparents had a bona fide two family house, two stories with the common "balloon" construction from the (earlier) period. Looking at how its use changed through the years, it allowed for great flexibility. Lots of bedrooms for kids, somewhat private space as they got into their teenage+ years. Then after most moved out and settled down on their own, one stayed in the upstairs apartment with their husband and own kid, and helped out grandma while grandma helped watch the next generation. Then when grandma passed, the house passed to a different brother, who lived in one apartment and rented out the second.

Now modern humongous homes are trying to recreate some of that flexibility, but not doing a great job at it. They're still focused on a singular living space where everyone has to interact with each other. This is often due to zoning regulations directly aimed at preventing people from creating full second living spaces that would be possible to rent on the open market - when it's exactly that independence that allows scaling how much house you're actually using.

Any source for the chatGPT claim? Typically (in the US) when doctors disagree with an insurance denial they have to do a "peer to peer" call, and plead their case with a doctor employed by the insurance company.
> would you have been happier?

Yea, people reach for this one a lot when this discussion happens. Personally, I think "but at least you're happy" is a bunch of hollow "cope" that people in the middle tell each other in order to not be so envious of the people who made it big. It's not one or the other. There exist plenty of rich people who are also happy. Happy+rich always beats happy+poor.

I'm sure there are CEOs out there who are unhappy. No doubt. But they can wipe their tears with $100 bills, and they have the option to quit their job any time they want to take up painting or become a monk to "find themself". Optionality usually beats raw happiness.

Eh. Sectoral bargaining is very very different from the much more-confrontational US model where individual firms unionize, to the extent that I don't really think they should even be in the same category as each other. In an alternate history sectorally bargained US, auto workers might actually have lower wages than UAW workers do today because the manufacturing industry sectoral union wants to have a more competitive export sector. They are just two completely different models of not just unionization but how to organize society and have labor-corporate-government relations, so it's not helpful to compare them
Never a good sign when you have a line in your slides that says “Alien spacecraft are made to be very light. Why?”

Isn't he contradicting himself when he says people are used to hear in-tune instruments because they are auto-tuned by a device, so that they immediately hear when an instrument is out of tune? It contradicts everything he said up to that point, which is most of the video.

I get annoyed a lot by out-of-tune instruments, to the point that I immediately stop listening to the song (usually live performances).
Agreed, I think of a standardized clerical process (even if wholly administered by humans) as an algorithm.

I’m not a lawyer but I suspect there are regulations that apply to unjustified denial of insurance healthcare services - they don’t seem to be closely enforced and moreover there is also a frustrating magical enforcement loophole when software becomes involved where even previous precedents seem to need to be reestablished just because tech doing the denial is somehow different than people following a process.

I don't think this is accurate. Maybe on healthcare and welfare, sure. But on many social issues, the Democrats are much further to the left than the European left. On issues such as abortion, gender/sexuality, migration, and race, the Democrats are more extreme compared to Labour in the UK, SPD in Germany, and the PSOE in Spain. Even the left in France isn't as socially extremist as the Democrats.

I think it's mostly "because it can be done". These types of impressive demos have become relatively low hanging fruit in terms of how modern machine learning can be applied.

This is what happens when people are censored. They will go to increasingly more drastic protests until they can't be ignored any more. This man set himself on fire he was so adamant that both Trump and Biden are evil. Now a confused media can't figure out what narrative to contort in an attempt to discredit and gaslight his ideals.
I suspect in the incentives, the downside risk weighs much heavier for these people. If they block surveillance powers and another 9/11 happened they'd be dragged over the coals, whereas approving them is pretty risk free.

I'm building a business that operates as the cap/opex for businesses that do not want to invest in the huge upfront costs and effort to deploy the best compute and storage that we can get today. Especially around AI/ML/CFD type of workloads.

I see this as a niche for allowing you to focus on building products with features, while we handle the rest of the details. Gone are the days of just racking some servers, as the deployment complexity has only increased exponentially over time. Especially with this newer hardware, the infrastructure needs and failure rate, debugging issues are all through the roof.

I see us as kind of a middle ground between hyperscalers and building it yourself. We give full bare metal access to the hardware, as if you own it yourself and are sitting at it. This should help protect at least a small amount against hyperscalers and HPC completely dominating the market.

My competitors are all focused on one company beating another in this AI compute race, as if it is a sporting competition. My focus is on running only the best of the best, I don't care who's equipment it is.

We have been doing large scale deployments for a while now, but just getting started in this new business. Looking forward to seeing how things develop over time.
I wouldn't be so quick to crown teletext as the king of succinct media. Just on the first page of the ORF teletext channel you refer to, there are lines flashing between advertisements for online gambling, tattoos and vegan (?) products with which to protect one's bladder and prostate. In order to navigate between news stories you have to memorize series of three-digit numbers or scroll through long indexes. After that, yes, in fairness, you get a nice simple text-only news article. Shame if you actually want the pictures though.

I personally think that the Web is a worthy successor in every respect, mostly because you have so much choice in how the page is displayed. Typefaces, colours, whether or not to display pictures - it's all up to you, the reader.

The TI-84 came out in 2004 which I have a hard time calling Stone Age for anything calculator related, graphing or otherwise. But if you were born in 2000 or so perhaps it feels that way. This is also getting well past the time calculators were marketed heavily outside the education market anyway. Also the 84 really is an enhanced 83 which is solidly targeted as a secondary education machine. TI would even sell them etched with “School Property”

https://brownmath.com/ti83/diff8384.htm#Catalog

In the Stone Age of graphing calculators (80s-90s), HP was dominant in engineering disciplines (and France).

Now I think maybe you’re confusing with the TI-85 (but the TI-86 was a TI-85 replacement and handles matrices just fine and superior to the 84) - so then perhaps your teacher had a TI-83. That would be more plausible and sensible.
Draw an equilateral triangle. The internal angle at a corner is 1/6 of a circle, 1.0471975511965 radians.

That can be divided by 60 into degrees, which are 0.0174532925199 radians

Those can be divided by 60 into minutes, which are 0.0002908882086 radians

Those can be divided by 60 into seconds, which are 0.00000484813681109 radians

Those can be divided by 60 into thirds, which are 8.08022801849E−8 radians

I think going any further is likely to be meaningless in a modern context, but fourths and fifths were used in the past.

It can certainly be worth more; I know engineers personally who became wildly wealthy, tens of millions of dollars from their equity—— but you’re right that most of the good outcomes are comparable to working in big tech over the last few years.

NT 4.0 was not for the masses, it was costly (the OS license) and needed higher specs than the almost contemporary Windows 95 (which was largely sold with license included with the new PC).
As well, Windows 2000 was a "professional" OS.
Both were way ahead in stability when compared to the Win9x/Me counterparts, but in terms of number of users, they were a fraction of the 9x ones, so it is not surprising that you can find much more nostalgic people about the latter.

XP somehow "unified" the professional and home market, bringing the (unneeded) Fisher Price look that the professionals hated and the (unneeded) complexities of authorizations/NTFS that the home users were not prepared for.

I can testify for the stability of NT 4.0, I have run a machine for some 15 years, roughly from 2001 to 2016, running NT 4.00, on 24/7, and only reboots were once a year or so for cleaning or occasionally for replacing the (failed) PSU or hard disk (not as a server, as a desktop running a specific DOS based accounting software).
I remember initially I had a few BSOD's because for some reasons there was a counter of some kind in the mouse driver that caused them, but once that was fixed, if I recall correctly by a change in the Registry, it was really rock solid.

In Rust, C, and C++, people have come up with their own solutions to it, which are incompatible with one another, hard to debug, and have caused ecosystem fragmentation. The reality is that evented IO is a system feature that needs to be supported in the standard library first and foremost, if not in the compiler, to avoid competing “async std” implementations, and then a blessed API should be provided to support it so that the ecosystem doesn’t diverge. Go knocked it out of the park on this.

Not quite, they are small business owners. Small businesses need revenue to stay afloat, so they like to make and save money. You can target them like any other small business. Ask for the person around with the most authority (doc is probably with patients), tell them you can save them money and how you can do it or to see if they can set up a meeting of some kind with their business manager (whoever that is), hopefully they pass it on to their boss.

I like this article and agree with much of it. However, everyone writes these things from the perspective of feeling like they didn’t meet the bar. “What I could have done better” I’d like to see the same article written from the perspective of “what I did right”. To me, articles like that have a bigger impact and it’s easier to internalize.

> even big-budget banking apps that are painful to use

What do you mean by a "big-budget banking app"? Do you mean the website/online banking or mobile app that the bank provides to consumers for free?

For those, the purpose of the software is:

* Advertise the bank's latest credit card / mortgage products.

* Keep all your data in their app, so you're locked in and can't get to your information without seeing the ads first.

* Make it hard to do export data, switch banks, etc.

Being a convenient way to manage finances is not a goal of the software, because that doesn't generate revenue.
