LOL. Me too. 35 years here. There's always something new to learn.

This, coupled with all the fascinating new ideas on how to optimize 3D math has made me determined to go rewrite my old x86 code.
'Everything happens for a reason' is a pretty common example of magical thinking that you might be more familiar with. Basically when someone favors a magical principal over cause and effect when describing the world.

I don't think it would make sense to say religion in general is magical thinking, a lot of religion can be moral or legal precepts or an explanation of the world that is rooted largely in cause and effect. There is clearly some magical thinking at play when you get into specifics but personally I'm not sure where we would say it enters play: is the belief in a final tallying magical thinking when it is justified by the belief that there exists an entity capable and willing? Not sure.

Laggy? That's doesn't sound right, especially HDMI. Disable screen mirroring and only have the content play on the TV screen (so your computer is not rendering it twice), maybe?

Or play it with VLC.

Or downscale any 4K content to 1080P. Maybe your CPU/GPU can't handle that resolution.
No. You need some motion smoothing for that too look good. At 3MP it does not have enough CCD to stablize and transcode into smooth pics.
Many routers require manual firmware updates. GL.iNet routers had several RCE (Remote Code Execution) vulnerabilities within the last 6 months. I advise you to have a quick look in your own router to ensure its not hacked, and possibly upgrade firmware.

As a typical user the noticeable symptoms for me were:
- internet speed noticeably slows down
- WiFi signal drops and personal devices either don't see it, or struggle to connect. At the same time the router is still connected to the internet
- router's internal admin page (192.168.8.1) stopped responding

I imagine many users haven't updated their routers and thus may be hacked. In my case the hacker installed Pawns app from IPRoyal, which makes the router a proxy server and lets hacker and IPRoyal make money. The hacker also stole system logs containing information about who and when they use the device, whether any NAS is attached. They also had a reverse shell.

Solution:
1. Upgrade firmware to ensure these vulnerabilities are patched.
2. Then wipe the router to remove the actual malware.
3. Then disable SSH access, e.g. for GL.iNet routers that's possible within the Luci dashboard.
4. Afterwards disable remote access to the router, e.g. by turning Dynamic DNS off in GL.iNet. If remote access is needed, consider Cloudflare Tunnel or Zero Trust or similar. There is also GoodCloud, ZeroTier, Tailscale, etc. I am not too sure what they all do and which one would be suitable for protected access remotely. If anyone has advice, I would appreciate a comment.

Consider avoiding GL.iNet routers. They do not follow principle of least privilege (PoLP) - router runs processes using root user by default. SSH is also enabled by default (with root access), anyone can try to bruteforce in (10 symbol password consisting of [0-9A-Z] and possibly might be more predictable). I set mine to only allow ssh keys rather than a password to prevent that. Despite running OpenWrt they are actually running their own flavor of OpenWrt. So upgrading from OpenWrt 21.02 to 23.05 is not possible at the moment.
If you want a pure crm- without marketing automation- hub spot has a free option. If you want to engage the users in your crm hubspot also has a startup discount that can reach 90% for the first year. Check out intercom as well, it can function as a budget crm and mailer in addition to live chat. I hope this helps!
Hey guys, I am currently working on my SaaS idea called Zoode AI. It's a chatbot AI for landing pages, and I really need your feedback on it. You can also sign up for the waiting list to get a coupon code. Here is the link to the features and mockup page: https://zode-ai-waitlist.framer.website/. Please, if you have any questions or opinions, just put them in the comment section.
Except this is often done by corporations (or their spokesperson) to exploit that feeling. So we’re back to square one.
Simple, complete, stable, built on solid foundations. That's the kind of software I like.
I'm fairly convinced this is not much different than the way that your body will prime itself if it knows you have an alarm going off at a given time. I don't have the paper anymore, but it was shown that your hormone profile will change with just the knowledge of an alarm. Similar results have been found for other drugs and using cues to the body so that it will prime them itself.

I'd love to read more on how this links to the powers of ritual and general routines. Specifically, if I'm not misremembering, it isn't just "belief that one has been administered a drug", but it has to be a drug that you have had before. Or that you have seen work on someone else. Just taking sugar pills does nothing. Taking sugar pills that you thought were the aspirin pills you took last time you were sick can cause the body to react.
Thanks! I took a look at Apollo, and even with large discount found the price quite steep.

Nice idea with scraping job sites. Have you had any luck with any particular one?

Kinda want to avoid another CRM, and just get a smart list that I can build my own workflow around.
Perplexity too?
I don't think I'll be disappointed if this gets implemented. Time-sucking apps which enable these types of ads break the flow of using that app for me so hard that I stop using them entirely.
You must come from a really unusual background if you have family and friends that would know the slightest bit about running a startup.

The last part can be any size, so with a few tweaks to the streaming code you should be fine. Ready-made AWS SDKs handle this (chunking) for you. Truth be told, the multupart upload on GCP is even worse :/

I was just looking into this kind of thing for a training lab we stood up and maybe you could have some advice/clarification to offer me from working on this. We have a locally hosted external DNS which wildcards everything not otherwise specified to an authenticating web proxy (currently caddy and locally hosted coredns). It's not clear what the "lazy" way to get a wildcard DNS cert via ACME DNS challenge going is with this kind of set up. To me it feels like Caddy is missing a built in functionality to act as the delegated ACME DNS responder and it's not clear which option is the best way to get Caddy (normally very automatic) to reload after it handles the requests.

Not particularly bound to Caddy or Coredns on the external side but it's what we're using for the internal as well.
Perplexity is also out for me. That uses `gpt-3.5-turbo` via the API, so I assume the API might be having trouble too, but `llm` seems to work fine with `gpt-3.5-turbo`
Thank you, It is interesting to understand the employee perspective better. Having the chances to earn 2-3x the local salary is a huge lever to look past other issues, I didn't see that so clearly in the past.

How about putting the ISP supplied modem in a DMZ? Then the ISP could admin it all they want but still never touch the LAN.
Were those juniors with no experience developing features? Leetcode doesn't test if they have experience, you need to check both if you want someone that can do everything.

Someone who does well on leetcode is usually easy to teach so they will become good/great in a year or two, but if you don't have that time then go for leetcode+experience just like everyone else is.
Pale Fire has been my favorite book for a long, long time, ever since I read it as part of a course in university. After all these years I haven't read a better, more intricately-constructed book.

It was suggested to me to read the intro first, then skip the poem and read the endnotes start to finish, then to go back and read the poem. The index is part of the fiction and must also be read.

I think the keys to really enjoying Pale Fire are 1) to realize that while the subject matter is ostensibly serious, Kinbote is really a comic figure, and you're meant to be laughing a lot of the time; and 2) the great puzzles to unravel are who is John Shade, who is Charles Kinbote, are any of them even real, and who wrote the poem? The book is so beautifully written that it can be argued that none of those questions have definitive answers - and thinking about them, and how Nabokov threads clues and possibilities throughout the novel, without any of them seeming to be contradictory, is the pleasure.
Nonsense. It could be 1,000X more common and still be considered a very rare disease.

It is safe to say it is rare.

A disease is considered "rare" in the US if less than 200k people have it. If there 200k Americans suffering from spontaneous drunkenness, we would know it.
The moon and Io are roughly the same diameter, so you can just divide Io's distance by the moon's distance to get the ratio of their perceived size without futzing with angles or geometry.

Claude has been spotty today and now died completely.

But OpenAI status pages say API is fine. I suspect it's some kind of DDoS or a rouge script to abuse the chat pages. Or something going on at CloudFlare.

You're right. Anduril has been on my radar, but I actually had no idea it had anything to do with the kid that duct-taped together a VR headset a decade ago :)
> 3D printing lets anyone design and build for their own use case.

That may be the case but fundamentally buildings are built to a code, which uses a design pattern (GoF book is literally inspired by architecture), so is repeatable. Customers will ask for bespoke features but none of that scales or even requires 3D printing. And the inventors, so far, are trying to woo investors by suggesting this tech is cheaper than traditional construction and/or scalable. And it so far it hasn't addressed any of that.
I'm just waiting for the day where the 'drink verification can' greentext finally gets realised.
The comments are great (“unsprung” refers to wheels, tires, hub):

"On the top end though, the Chevy's extra unsprung mass may hamper it;"

Do you have the specs for unsprung mass for each car? I also am a bit at a loss as to how unsprung mass has a single thing to do with top speed, which is almost entirely a function of power and aerodynamics (barring odd gearing choices of course).

Honestly this whole article stinks a bit of AI generation.
In my PhD thesis I am doing this, but at an organizational level, how algorithms are managed and organized, i.e., via task lists, inside of the system, e.g., the debugger, or virtual meetings. There was a clear discovery of the movement away from the code, but also that we should really think about how the algorithm sees things, and how it is taking on a subjectivity on its own, as an actor.

This approach is postmodern, by describing hyper-reality, so taking in things that management theory would approach as only superficial, and putting this into the foreground. Your idea is actually brilliant, to go one step further and check the individual implementation details. I think there is some work about algorithms, but mostly for the AI case.
OTHER MOATS

I would say:

Yes, it would be easy to copy and build.

But, other companies would not want to or be able to do/offer what we do, because <reasons-essentially-acting-as-unique-enough-moats>.

Really think about what makes you uniquely able to provide value with this product.

Is it really "your idea"? If you "really" want to protect it, file a provisional patent application for $199 online in case it takes off and then later you can file the actual patent, if your business really was successful and you are within the time limit.

If it isn't really "your idea", then just roll with it and make your distribution your moat. Life it too short for that paperwork and headache.

People are buying you and your brand, if there truly are other equivalents available. Give your product the vibe that only you can.

FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS

If the product isn't out there, and it solves problems, and you have it, and competition isn't your problem, your problem isn't competitors. It's not having customers.

According to some YC Startup School video I saw, your ONLY TWO valid activities this early are

1) building product and
2) talking to customers.

If the market is big enough and there are 3 players, maybe you get 30% share and life is still good.

if we were to dramatically oversimplify it, we could say that these drugs grant someone a perspective that they were unable or unwilling to achieve through their typical thought processes

it's not hard to imagine why sometimes that can be helpful, and we can try to optimize towards "usually helpful" — but sure they could also be harmful or plain useless
At that point just buy a proper domain. That ought to be easier than setting up a custom CA.

Thanks - this is much clearer than the original article, which somehow never actually defines "reverse Z" before going on and on about it.

Why is it that most things you render are far away rather than close? I guess I'd expect the opposite, at least depending on what you're rendering. And I'd also assume you'd want better visual fidelity for closer things, so I find this a little counter-intuitive.

Are there certain cases where you'd want "regular Z" rather than "reverse Z"? Or cases where you'd want to limit your Z to [0, 0.5] instead of [0, 1]?
> It was suggested to me to read the endnotes first, start to finish, then to go back and read the poem.

I read it with two copies open, so that I was reading the poem and the endnotes in parallel.
Can't we have something Python based, since it is already the lingua franca and seems to be the language that people are least frustrated about?
You've chosen a couple of very specific examples here (coincidentally, the same ones often chosen by neo-nazis). There are many well-known examples of very similar peoples hating each other and leading to widespread violence, several of which are mentioned in the linked article.

Characterizing these as "good natured pranks" seems to deliberately miss the point in favor of reinforcing your priors.
I think OPs sentiment translates to "I'm fine with them charging more money for a version that works without a Microsoft account, so long as it exists."

We have a saying here on Airstrip One, "Keeping up with the Joneses".

Keeping up with the Joneses is the biggest driver of capitalism, excess spending and debt.

The Joneses are the ones who desire all the things that other people have.

That could be your wife, your car, your shoes, your house, your holiday, anything goes, the list is endless, they must must must have what you have.

So yes, I agree, ban those bloody joneses.
But you see, while some of those things aren’t _just_ recall, they are recall, too. Just different types of it, rather than point recall. And a modern SOTA LLM can accurately recall _vastly more_ data than any human or even any group of humans. Transformers are quite literally very fancy associative memories.

The placebo effect is not a single thing. That is, there are ways of amplifying the effect and minimizing the effect. For maximum effect, treatments ought to be designed to take advantage of the placebo effect to the extent possible. That’s because placebos have low side effects and are often very effective. However, this creates some challenges — how do you test which placebo effect works best? What do you use as a placebo? It’s not that hard, really — just use a placebo with less of a placebo effect.

Niacin was used as the placebo for Timothy Leary’s Good Friday experiment [1], where he randomly dosed catholic monks on psilocybin. Unlike a sugar pill, Niacin creates some facial flushing — so you do feel something. But it would be very clear eventually that you didn’t get the psilocybin. But that doesn’t negate the findings of the experiment.

Good point! It checks the cardio box for that day.

I don't do it every day though. I only go into the office 3 days a week and for much of the summer it's too hot for me to bike (I'm in Austin, TX). I can manage up until about 101F/38C, but anything after that feels dangerous.
> That's a facile dismissal

Not really. The paper referenced in this article basically says "time" for a quantum system emerges from entanglement between that system and a clock. What is a clock? A system that, um, keeps time. Circular reasoning.

NextJS to-do app – open-source
I've seen an episode from Ricky Gervias's "An Idiot Abroad" satire-documentary, where this British guy was trying out a dating matching service in India around 2009 and you had to provide this exact kind of personal information, since as a man you were judged mainly on those factors: academic titles, career, salary, wealth, family background. Some parts of Asia seem very status and wealth oriented to me. Brutal and sad.

This is not true. Liberals tend to be calling out powerful people who harbor hateful ideas. It seems like it can be a bit heavy handed at times, but it's generally awareness and boycott actions.

Meanwhile the right was and continues to be book burners, just like their Nazi counterparts. Remember the censorship debates of 1980-2000 (although this was partly bipartisan)? It continues to this day.

It's the right that I've seen consistently try to corrupt institutions and restrict free speech using the government. They're the ones developing lists of "undesirables". The left just says that it's okay to be gay, and gives out free condoms.

There's a little bit from all sides now. Also, harboring some progressive ideals, doesn't make you free from bigotry in all regards. That said, the right pretending that free speech is now a right wing virtue is absurd. It's just as ridiculous to pretend it's "even".

Sorry but that's a really poor example and IMO not a valid complaint. I don't think they made the wrong decision there. There are quite a lot of other API changes in GTK4 so some tiny shims for only a couple APIs wouldn't help in porting at all. It would only create confusion because there would be two APIs for the same thing but now it's even more unclear when the old API is going to be removed. The argument you're essentially making here is "keep deprecated APIs around forever" which isn't realistic. They're deprecated for a reason, if you never remove them then deprecation isn't meaningful anymore.

Also you're incorrect that it would be "just a few lines of code." Those things are GObject classes which can be referred to in various ways through the runtime system or by language bindings, it's not just a matter of creating some aliases for C symbols. If you only use those in such limited ways that a tiny shim would do the job, then it would be just as easy and more beneficial to create a small script that does search and replace on your entire project.

It would be entirely possible to create a larger shim to ease porting, and keep it outside the main project so it doesn't cause confusion. But for it to be truly useful, someone would have to put a lot of thought and effort into making it work for a good portion of the APIs that changed. Then it would have to be tested thoroughly with all the language bindings. It's a way bigger project than just shipping a couple of #defines in a header. And if it did exist, it too would get deprecated and obsolete at some point when all the apps finish their ports to the new version. None of this is a new idea -- all this I'm taking about is exactly what Qt already did with Qt5Compat. It could be done in GTK as well but some interested party needs to make it happen. So far, no one has cared enough to put their money where their mouth is and actually do it.

BTW even the Linux kernel does a thing now where they don't use deprecation attributes in the code at all anymore. If a kernel developer intends to remove an API then they just delete it and fix the build. Because in practice it's actually much worse to keep an API around for long past its expiration date and annoy everyone with deprecation warnings.

Cargo culting the processes required for extreme use cases outside of that context is only good for learning to get paid money to do it in those contexts in the future. In and of itself it is very silly. For a human person a process running on an OS on running on a computer is far, far less work, maintenance, and complexity with better performance and longer lifetime.
