> 95% of businesses never become unicorns, but that's the goal for most (for the 5% which do).

I think you're missing quite a few 9s!
> 2) Plan for success
95% of businesses never become unicorns, but that's the goal for most (for the 5% which do). If you don't plan for it, you won't make it.

That's exactly what every architecture astronaut everywhere says. In my experience it's completely untrue, and actually "planning for success" more often than not causes huge drags on productivity, and even more important for startups, on agility. Because people never just make plans, they usually implement too.

Plan for the next 3 months and you'll be much more agile and productive. Your startup will never become a unicorn if you can't execute.
> To have any chance of becoming a unicorn, every part of the business needs to be planned for now and for later

I think that in practice that’s counterproductive. A startup has a limited runway. If your engineers are spending your money on something that doesn’t pay off for years then they’re increasing the chance you’ll fail before it matters.
This is wonderful! No need for a second language for plugins/extensions if your software is written in C++. Hell, it is mind-blowing - using a RISC-V emulator to run C++ scripts. Lol - this is not something that immediately strikes one's brain. Looking forward to fully digging into this next weekend.

It's definitely an echo chamber. Most companies definitely do not want to become "unicorns" - most SME's around the world don't even know what a "unicorn" is, let alone be in an industry/sector where it's possible.

Does a mining company want to become a "unicorn"?

A fish and chip shop?

Even within tech there is an extremely large number of companies whose goals are to steadily increase profits and return them to shareholders. 37 Signals is the posterchild there.

I've spoken to many people about building a venture studio focusing on career development and training.

They've all told me it's a bad idea.

"There's no money in training"
"Young people are only interested in getting their first job, no one wants to invest in their career"
"Venture studios are losing propositions, there's no way to scale your attention"

I think they're wrong.

I still believe helping young people build strong foundations for a career is the greatest impact I can make in the world.

And I believe that one can do that in a profitable and sustainable way.

I'm an X year "forever" post-doc. I have a wide range of tech and analysis skills but employers look at my CV and see no industry experience and will immediately dismiss me as an entry-level tech worker. Also, no one seems to be hiring at the moment despite the deluge of linked-in postings (I no longer trust most of these as legitimate, and instead see it as companies signalling "growth").

I enjoy my work, it feels meaningful, and I get great feedback from it, so I'm happy to put the extra hours in.

I've built good networks in academia over the last few years and I am constantly being courted by separate labs to win me to their team, but the pay is flat and isn't great.

Hence my desire to continue what I am doing, but officially for two teams and officially as two jobs.

Some developers have a crazy attitude about what they should be able to do and what the customers want. I would guess that a good portion of Apple customers consistently choose Apple products to avoid the developer attitude above. The smugness is truly off-putting and unlikely to create a good customer experience.

Somehow the developer feels enlightened and has taken on the mission of saving Apple customers. Apple customers can be quite technically literate and want a platform that keeps the developers at a distance. This is the feature one of the key features.
Really bad one that’s probably a subset of one of yours but really grates on me specifically are ones in the style of: “What the the top X products/things/whatever that are overrated/underrated/lies/scams?” Which of course are just super generic questions that get people to engage with the post and produce exactly zero new information.
BGP hijacking also works on a small scale. If you don't use DNSSEC and somebody hijacks the prefix(es) that host your DNS, they can obtain a letsencrypt certificate and redirect all your traffic.

If you don't have a CAA record and somebody hijacks the prefix(es) where your webserver is hosted, they can also obtain a letsencrypt certificate and redirect your traffic.
I regularly run `mtr 1.1` for monitoring network condition. One of its display modes gives you a 3D view: x-axis is time, y-axis is the hops, and each cell’s colour and character indicates how long the ping took (or if it got no response). This is frequently very valuable at identifying where a problem is, which is generally one of these three: between computer and router, router and ISP, ISP and public internet. It can show also where packet loss or latency jumps are occurring, and patterns where something goes wrong for a few seconds so that you can determine where the problem is (this is where the time axis is crucial).

One thing that becomes apparent when you monitor diverse ISPs and endpoints this way is the inconsistency: in a normally-functioning situation, although most hops will have 0% loss, some will have absolutely any value from 0%–100%. The network I’m on at present has ten hops from _gateway to one.one.one.one; hop five is 100% loss, hop six varies around 40–50% loss, hop seven is about 60–62% loss, the rest are all 0% loss. It does host name lookup as well which can be a little bit useful for figuring out what’s probably local, probably ISP and probably public internet, but the boundaries are often a bit fuzzy.

mtr: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTR_(software)>

1.1: short spelling of 1.0.0.1, the second address for Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS server.

You can switch between the display modes with the d key, or start in this mode with MTR_OPTIONS=--displaymode=2 in the environment (which is how I do it, as it’s almost always what I want; if it weren’t, I’d probably make some kind of alias for `mtr --displaymode=2 1.1` instead).
>Really? You’re going to claim that the prosperity of Britain did not come from systematically plundering the rest of the world?

I think the OP's question is how did Britain get it a position where it had the capability to "systematically plunder the rest of the world"?

Do you think that was luck? Were the British simply "evil", and everyone else not so? One has to assume they were already high-functioning, prior to the plundering.

Not allowing for whatever customisation any particular nerd wants is not ‘anti-competitive’. Have you ever actually written software for public consumption?

Yeah, I think the first factor is probably the biggest one here. Devs tend not to rebuild existing sites on a whim, especially not to integrate new technology for the hell of it.

We'll almost certainly see more container queries used on new website/app development projects going forward, but any that started prior to their integration into most browsers are likely going to remain using the old design philosophy with media queries instead.
I agree with the article that most data sets comfortably fit into a single traditional DB system. But I don’t think that implies that big data is dead. To me big data is about storing data in a columnar storage format with a weak schema, and using a query system based on partitioning and predicate push down instead of indexes. This allows the data to be used in an ad-hoc way by data science or other engineers to answer questions you did not have when you designed the system. Most setups would be relatively small, but could be made to scale relatively well using this architecture.
No. Big data was driven by people who had big data problems.

It started with Hadoop which was inspired by what existed at Google and became popular in enterprises all around the world who wanted a cheaper/better way to deal with their data than Oracle.

Spark came about as a solution to the complexity of Hive/Pig etc. And then once companies were able to build reliable data pipelines we started to see AI being able to be layered on top.
Jensen is a mastermind!

Tesla is buying Nvidia GPUs so naturally Jensen promotes Tesla for their GPU use case which is full self driving. If Tesla succeeds or not, doesn't matter for Nvidia as long as Tesla continue to buy Nvidia GPUs till the very end.

But actually Nvidia is also a competitor to Tesla because Nvidia is using DriveSim for 7 years now with a different approach to the issue of FSD. Nvidia decided to re-build the world in a real-time and all physics included simulation. This is a huge effort which might pay off in the end. Tesla can do like a billion miles in daily sunshine traffic but a simulation system allows you to simulate unpredictable situations. The hardest part is, how will AI decide what to do in difficult driving conditions or in sudden dangerous situation. How do you test a kid running on the road behind a school bus? Such things and a lot more can be tested and repeated a million times in simulation.

The difference between Tesla and Nvidia is that Tesla is fine with FSD at 99% and beta testing with customers while for Nvidia that isn't enough. That's why it seems that Tesla is ahead because they claim their solution is already driving around. Meanwhile, Nvidia has already probably billions if not trillions of driven miles in simulation and has been fine tuning that for years.

Almost nobody runs 4 sticks of unbuffered DDR5 anyway, because you wouldn't be able to get them to run above 4800 and you'll be spending several minutes waiting for memory training. And you get a minimum of 16GB per stick unless you buy modules with dead ranks.

There's so little margin to total signal degradation in DDR5, these improvements are actually necessary (and more upgrade friendly than the inevitable future of memory on SoC).

> How do you explain both that severe reaction to using C AND the historically negligible failure rate of the language itself?

You CAN get from point A to point B by riding a horse, but why would you when cars are a faster alternative?

But to the point, many failures have been attributed to the language, most of security bugs stem from the C's lack of memory safety.

_Fortunately_ the reason not a whole lot of deaths can be attributed dirrectly to C is the fact that:

- The safety critical sw is has multiple redundancies baked in, including at the HW level that would safeguard against fatal outcomes.

- Safety critical SW is tested intensley. This proves the "common" cases of usage, but in my experience still fails for long-tail events.

- Memory corruption issues would most of the cases "mearly" lead to resets instead of wrong program output.

- Thinking about SW that is deployed in large numbers, if we admit that memory corruption issues happen in very special cases ( see 2nd pct) then the sudden appearence of a bug could _very_ easily be bundled as a fluke instead of a bug and we would probably not be able to distinguish the failure leading to death as being attributed to C. (since " it works fine on my machine" in 99.99% of the cases)
This is a quite good allegory for the way AI is currently discussed (perhaps the outcome will be different this time round). Particularly the scary slide[1] with the up-and-to-the-right graph, which is used in a near identical fashion today to show an apparently inevitable march of progress in the AI space due to scaling laws.

I wish there was a Twitter currated and moderated like /r/historians is on reddit. The answers you are getting are not always correct and sometimes you dont' get one at all (either because no expert can answer or the question is unsanswerable in the first place) but they are always reasoned, calm and thought out.

(And yes I realize the irony posting this on a social media webpage).

Ultimately most people and their takes are really really boring and "freedom of speech absolutism" (as Twitter nowadays sees itself) leads to interesting, well researched and novel thoughts being drowned out by the mass garbage stuff.

I really don't understand why some people (like the current Twitter CEO) seem to crave that kind of attention.

Not dead, it's just having it's winter time not unlike AI winter and once it has its similar "chatbot" moment, all will be well.

My take on the killer application is the climate change for example earthquakes monitoring. For a case study China has just finished building world's largest earthquake monitoring system with the cost of around USD1 Billion across the country with 15K stations [1]. Somehow at the moment is just monitoring existing earthquakes. But let's say there is a big data analytics technique can reliably predicts impending earthquake within a few days, that can probably safe many people and China now still hold the records of the largest mortality and casualty numbers due to earthquakes. Is it probable, the answer is a positive yes based on our work and initial results it's already practical but in order to do that we need integration with comprehensive in-situ IoT networks with regular and frequent data sampling similar to that of China.

Secondly, China also has the largest radio astronomy telescopes and these telescopes together with other radio telescopes collaborate in real-time through e-VLBI to form a virtual giant radio telescopes as big as the earth to monitor distance stars and galaxy. This is how the black hole got its first image but at the time due to logistics one of the telescope remote disks cannot be shipped to the main processing centers in US [2]. At that moment they are not using real-time e-VLBI onky VLBI, and it tooks them several months just to get the complete sets of the black holes observation data. With e-VLBI everything is real-time and with automatic processing it will be hours instead of month. These radio telescopes can also be used for other purposes like monitoring climate change in addition to imaging black holes, their data is astronomical pardon the pun [3].

Only if you want to argue about what counts as "natural".
We know empirically that having humans drive cars results in many accidents, injuries, and deaths. We’ve tried many ways to solve this problem without success, and it seems reasonable to conclude that we cannot make human driving safe.

It’s still early days for autonomous driving and it clearly isn’t there yet. But perhaps one day it will be. We won’t know unless we keep trying.

But what we do know – with an extremely high degree of confidence – is that “just drive the car yourself” has a very large death toll. That’s not the solution to road safety you seem to think it is. The status quo is very dangerous.
