Why yes it does!

Ankles are usually only slightly larger in circumference than wrists, my Garmin even does OK at picking up my heart rate when I'm working in the machine shop and wearing it on my ankle.
> He's not the change anyone wants, but he may be the only kind of change possible.

To US speakers of English that sentiment conveys the implicit assumption that change is needed, and that any kind of change is desirable over no change at all.

As far as whether we're going to set the neighborhood on fire, yeah, I have the same concerns. It's hard to tell whether we're dealing with an extremely vocal minority who will be silenced quickly should they become physically belligerent, or are they more widespread? If Trump is found guilty in the trial the jury is deliberating on, then we may find out sooner. Otherwise, we may have to wait until November to find out. I would have never believed I'd see the day where Americans are pining for a dictator, but here we are.
Being fired does not include the option to stay.
Just use jsonrpc over websockets - you’ll have same semantics as function calling in your programming language, type it if you’re using static type aware lang and have happy life. It’s easy to optimise, refactor, trace/debug, use (same as using library with async functions) etc.
Interesting, I put the book down at the second half because I felt it went from extremely strong to somewhat weak. If he wrote the first part last then it makes a lot more sense. Might pick it up again after this.

Completely worth it for the first part already tho.

Perhaps a ... human curated index ... would be more useful then? :)

I mean, if you're manually curating what you feed to the LLM you end up doing one of the web directories of old and might as well skip the LLM part... or use it just to gain funding...
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that this appears to be a (very polished) "Hipstamatic for video" yet. I feel like Hipstamatic has been a zombie app for years now, but was once beloved and at one point in 2011-2012 people spoke about it alongside Instagram...

Obviously video is harder, but the "analog film" UI looks mighty familiar... ;)
All you have to do is look at the fact that PG has been consistently effusive about Sam in his public comments and essays since the mid 00s through till the present day, for it to be clear that Sam wasn’t simply fired.

Of course these situations are always complex behind the scenes, with many factors and considerations at play.

But the no he must really just have been fired against his will claim just doesn’t pass the sniff test to anyone paying attention.
Would it make sense to have a license that gives any contributors a full license as long as they have ownership in the company they want to use it with or if that company makes a million in revenue?
No, but a lack of market feedback absolutely == NOT selling.
To me, the best feature is Relay Fragments (I think Apollo has fragments too?), as each component describes the data they need: no need to do a big top-level request then pass down the data to the responsible components, everything is in one file.

It makes UI changes much much easier to deal with.
When I was chair of a small non-profit (currently still a board member after a hiatus for a few years), I'm not sure I'd have described it as burnout but increased lack of engagement and interest definitely became a problem over time. When we did require in-person votes/quorums, that did become a problem because it usually required traveling for most board members 2 or 3 weekends a year.

At some point, while I was on hiatus, the board did change its rules to allow telephone and, later, Zoom attendance which has been IMO something of a mixed bag but probably inevitable especially post-COVID. I'd like people to get together in person more but it's harder than when the board skewed younger; people have more family responsibilities at this point and, of course at this point, a lot of people just have less patience about getting together physically when business can mostly be taken care of over a couple hour Zoom call.

Fortunately, the non-profit's regular activities and finances have been on a pretty even keel so the board mostly just keeps an eye out for problems.
The Facebook feed is over half ads. I rarely use Facebook anymore except for some groups I am active in. Even the groups are overrun by bots. I rarely use Instagram. Facebook is dying a slow death.
I still use F-gas blowers like https://www.bestbuy.com/site/maxpro-air-duster/6569631.p?sku...

Unfortunately products like this cause a disproportionate amount of climate change because of the gas it contains. They really work though and I've seen dust-clogged laptops that were thermally throttling get like new after blowing them out. There is no trouble with moisture because they don't put any moisture into the can to begin with.

I was hoping flouroketone-based products would get on the market but with 3M being in disarray over PFAS threats I don't think they're that excited about the potential.
Your other comments sound dispassionate about your product. It makes it sound like you are only interested in growing a company and not in solving problems for your customers. You said you arent interested in slowly growing a business that is currently making you money

This is completely at odds with growing an open source community. Its typically one of the slowest and most thankless jobs you can do in software. nix has been around for 10+ years and only recently are normies like me becoming interested in it.

Your product sounds like its niche, making it open source and getting other developers to contribute sounds like trying to grow a niche within a niche. Add F# and there might be like 5 people in the whole world who might care about your open source project.

Im sure your integration partners say they would like your project to be open source but they arent going to be doing ANY of the work.

I would sell your business as a turn key.
There are a lot of languages that are actually pretty small if you just boil them down to their primitives. Prolog and most other rule engines, especially CLIPS, jump to mind. ANSI C and SML. SML in particular is cute if you use your tiny Prolog to implement the type system ;-)
>A lot of people here bending over backwards to try to interpret this maximally negatively.

This thread exposes who buys into whatever the SF/VC overlords say.

"Got fired" may be a tad ambiguous, but being told "stop working on that other thing or leave" is not too far off.
Going back to the original question of the thread, it’s starting to sound more like a grieving process than an answerable question. How do you open source the code? You flip it from private to public. That’s pretty much it. Well, okay, maybe an over-simplification.

If the business is small and profitable but it’s not growing how you’d like then I’d probably be more interested in selling it if it was me. I am not sure you will be able to sell it if the code is all open source.
I was able to restore my entries after clicking the “Restore” button, and choosing iCloud. However, the export feature is now paywalled.

This is hostageware, plain and simple.

I even had a todo to move away from it after I heard it had been acquired… guess it’s my fault for getting busy and not getting around to it.

One of my rules is to only use software where you can export your data easily. I guess I need to add another rule where I only use software where I control when it updates. That might be impossible with Apple devices though…
If you stick to the high level "Hey, take a photo for me" APIs, it isn't a problem. If you want to take advantage of hardware specific features, the iPhone camera system varies from generation to generation, and sometimes within a single generation. On top of this, the AV frameworks have a mountain of undefined behavior which easily breaks with iOS updates. There are tons of iOS and model specific code branches that have cropped up in Halide over the years.

That said, it doesn't hold a candle to Android fragmentation. It's a major reason we will not touch the platform.
Is there anything you did that, in hindsight, seemed a bit too heavy-handed?

Curious what makes it clickbait though, I just read it and it seems like genuinely good advice when most products fail due to lack of marketing / sales rather than lack of technical know-how?
You reminded me of the Meisner workshop scene in Asteroid City (you can't wake up if you don't fall asleep). The more I think about it, the more the Meisner Technique seems like a central theme of the whole movie. The scene with Margot Robbie and Jason Schwartzman drives home the difference between recitation and acting. Cool stuff.

For coding it would be nice to add task to links. So when a link is clicked you could simply choose to follow it or create a new agent with the link. Each agent will tune the output as one goes down the rabbit hole.
I do deals a fair bit larger than this, and so am obviously biased, but while this sounds appealing, the fact is that only once or twice out of the couple of dozen times I’ve heard back from founders that decided to DIY their M&A have I not thought to myself “you got taken to the cleaners”.

The buyers on the other side are professional buyers. They get promoted by buying great companies for as little as possible. Most founders will only ever sell one business, if that. Buyers don’t care about their reputation with you, they do care about their reputation with a banker they may interact with multiple times.
At some point between that and human size, a cluster of neurons starts being conscious, and we don’t know where. All we know is this is the material substrate of consciousness making the motions of consciousness, albeit in a limited form. We’ve got no strong basis for arguing it isn’t conscious except our gut feeling about how large a population of neurons is required and no way to test whether we’re right.
OpenAPI can do graphs too, since you can put in refs to objects that can themselves have refs to other objects, possibly recursively.

I mean, that's fair, but phones don't need to cost that much. I can buy a current-gen basic Moto for $60 in the Fi store today. Who buys current flagship phones for kids? Most families I know upgrade one device at a time and the kids get old hand-me-down devices.

It's a rich privileged family that is buying kids either new smartwatches or $500 - $1000 phones.
Selling the business would free up your time to do something else that scratches your itch.

A lot of people are interested in owning boring low-growth businesses. If that’s not you that’s okay.
Wife just went into surgery literally 5 minutes ago. While waiting we had several doctors and nurses check in and ask basically the same questions. While this was happening I was thinking about how we're at the mercy of the hospital and doctors to use providers that our insurance will actually cover. We have NO (very little if any) control over those. What if between scheduling the surgery several months ago and now our insurance and the providers no longer have contracts with each other? What if the surgeon only uses anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetists that don't belong to our insurance providers network?

Don't DRY Your Code Prematurely
I sometimes think about what my life would be like if my wife passed away. I'm also a father, and sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I lost my entire family. I think I'd have a hard time finding purpose and would either spiral or would become hyper focused in my career.

It is amazing. I had the same "best friend" for 20 years, from age 3 until 23, but almost as soon as I set eyes on my wife she became my best friend and became a much deeper and beloved one. I find that much of my motivation in life is because I want the best for her and our children.

Well if the market price for something is X and your margins are small but X is big you do well. But someone can innovate and do it for half X and now his margins are 50% so he makes more money.

The question is why can't I provide insurance at the market price and just bring in efficiencies to get my cost down and margin up?

The reason is that it's not a real market through onerous regulations. People are forced to buy it, new entrants aren't allowed and there is an implicit threat that if margins get big politicians will come after you. So were stuck in this crappy system
I would hire some students, mentor them, and we would build all of the open source projects that I want to build (that I'm already slowly working on/planning out on my own).
This is actually what Fly machines do under the covers. When you use it as a PaaS, the client CLI sets all this up for you, and then our proxy starts/stops things as needed.
You're over-thinking this. There exist battery powered blower fans for specifically this purpose. I bought one on Amazon about a month ago. If you're blowing away SMD-soldered components with any kind of compressed air, either quit buying cheap no-name electronics or avoid using an aviation jet engine for your compressed air source. Edit : for the price of like 4 cans of compressed air cans, too. Just don't bother with anything else, get a battery-operated fan and move onto more important things in your life.
> I might be snobby with my coffee, but you can drink whatever you like.

Sure, I agree. My disappointment with torrefacto is just a personal opinion.

For example, I think chicory is great, and so is barley (mugicha). I would very much rather drink those instead of torrefacto.
It is (or at least used to be) possible to deactivate automatic updates on iOS, but I have them enabled, since it makes sense to me from a security point of view – but maybe this will make me reconsider...

This really makes me appreciate OSes where I can access the data of any application, without the app developer being able to hold it hostage (for a literal ransom, in this case!) on my own device.
Duh..? Lots of autistic people have less adrenocorticotropic hormone production, which implies less proopiomelanocortin so less alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone activity.

Autistic people have weaker substantia nigra, and symmetrically stronger bioenergetic drive from melanin-concentrating hormone.

This is a downstream effect from the persistently dysregulated AVPR2 activity & high body vasopressin that triggers a large chunk of "high functioning" autism.
That seems to be windows only? My main target OS is Linux.

I saw the notification when I upgraded the package so I removed it after and installed the full version. But, a few days later a coworker complained about some script using KeePassXC from the cli, because he did not see the notification and was missing the secret agent.

I think that they should gone for upgrading keepassxc packages to the new keepassxc-full and deprecating the old keepassxc package in favor of a new keepassxc-lite for new installs.

There are better toothpastes out there that use more than fluoride. Sensodyne with Novamin is one (but you need to import it), along with many that have hydroxyapatite. The latter often don’t have fluoride but there are some with both.

Typically libraries use a Dataloader + ORM to implement this which gets you pretty far, outside of that some libs like Strawberry with automatically optimize your queries for you if you return Django ORM Querysets.

Any query you were going to build and serve with Rest can be made with these two methods or even a raw dataloader and manual SQL string.
What is Elon gaining that he doesn't already have? Being in Trump's orbit makes you a right-wing media darling, but Elon already has that. Biden has already imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese-made EVs.
The continued goal of realizing SDI is not secret, nor a conspiracy. Heritage Foundation is quite open about it since proposing the original idea to Ronald Reagan. Griffin is a very influential member. He just pulled a team of SpaceX people (from the Starshield group) to build hypersonic warheads to implement the interceptor part of an SDI "at scale": https://www.castelion.com/team
As someone else said, follow what these people DO, not the self-serving narratives they/Elon gives biographers.
> I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick."

Let me see if I can articulate it.

You know how a human conversation can have multiple threads? And ten minutes in, you find the topic has totally changed and you're trying to figure out the original topic? Sometimes you can get back to it, sometimes you can't, right?

Obviously it's not quite the same when you can see prompt history, but the conversation is still pretty linear. This pre-empts that problem by letting you fork thoughts.
It probably would matter what type of computations it would be running, no? I think if a silicon computer ran the same exact computations as a conscious brain it would be conscious. If brain tissue ran some simple algorithm for playing doom or predicting the next word, it wouldn't be conscious
Depends on what engine you choose… you can get a base model that has an identical simple and reliable drivetrain to a Jetta or Golf, or some exotic engines that are very costly to maintain- like the V6 TDI.
Exactly. Its failure was a self-fulfilling prophecy imposed by PE (and other malicious financial actors). Like Toys R Us and many others, it was a stable but unremarkable business that might have been in dire straits at some point in the future if changes weren't made to update its approach. It was not, as others allege, "failing" - at least, not until PE came along and forced it into an untenable position. But that's what they do.
I got a notification today the verification now free and Linkedin invited me to get such a badge. I think Linkedin users just start adding those badges more than they have in the past. Maybe the price and availability is regional or slow rollout.

I managed to reverse engineer my dreams to the point where I pretty much always understand what every dream I have means these days.

If you're having the same dream over and over, your subconcious is trying to tell you something.

Some repetitve themes in my dreams used to be going back to school, and running away from someone chasing me.

Running away/chase dreams - refusing to face some sort of truth (mine was refusing to grow up)

Going back to school - retrogression. I'm picking up had habits again.

Not all dreams have meaning, of course. Some just an inner reflection of your other self. "Language of the gods" so to speak.
Having gone through just 2 Garmin watches over the last 10 years (though the upgrade from the FR220 was only to get optical heart rate, it's still perfectly serviceable), how did it possibly take you that long to learn that?
Yep, GQL can make sense if you have tons of clients.
Sure, but just how often is the client the one who defines what data it needs without the designer being able to create obvious endpoints?

Surely there are some good use cases.. just so few and far between. No one should be using GraphQL unless absolutely necessary.
Shop air compressor, no moisture trap. I just keep the nozzle a couple feet from the target, and drain its tank occasionally (they have a screw on the bottom for that).

"moisture" is only a problem if you don't let it dry off before applying power. Your circuit boards were washed multiple times before they got to you. In the before time, we'd disassemble our ModelM keyboards and rung the whole thing through a dishwaser.

A more common problem is people not securing the fans on things; you don't want to spin them at compressed air speeds, ain't great for the bearings or the upstream electronics. Who protects their fan power lines with diodes?
Ostensibly, it's to prevent attacks, according to the author of the bill:

“At 25 feet, that person can’t spit in my face when I’m making an arrest,” Fontenot said while presenting his bill in a committee earlier this year. “The chances of him hitting me in the back of the head with a beer bottle at 25 feet — it sure is a lot more difficult than if he’s sitting right here.”

But it's very easy to see how it will also make it harder to record videos of the police. I bet that's at least part of the reason why they're doing it, even if they won't say so.

(I assume that Fontenot is speaking in the first person because he's a former law enforcement officer.)
>dealing with it when they stray.

I know we're not supposed to assume reading comprehension problems here, so I just have to assume that your dealing with it when they stray does not have any component of monitoring in it? Because I said "or monitoring more closely a child that has done improper things." and everyone seems to think that you shouldn't monitor someone that has done improper things - I really don't get it?

Seems like apathy, oh your kid is sneaking out with other kids to drink, well give them a talking to and then whatever you do, don't monitor them!

Oh your kid got a sugar daddy on Roblox, hmm, well go talk to the neighbors next door, the 1980s neighbor network was the best way to ever keep track of your kids for every kid that didn't grow up in the 1980s.

Half of the commentators here seem to think I'm living in the 80s, and the other half seem to think I'm living in Kansas, but everyone is in agreement on one thing which is that I should definitely behave myself to their model of raising kids in 1980s Kansas.
