Arjun and Zara are amazing! They’re our batch and group office hours mates from YC S22.

We (https://www.newscatcherapi.com/) also serve the same use case but only for the news analysis part. And we don’t really have a UI: it’s all data accessible via an API.

I see a lot of questions here about comparing Overwatch to other OSINT tools. The ability to customize/personalize is a huge difference.

In my experience, clients with the most expensive problems are super underserved because there is no “Palantir-like” solutions.

Don’t get me wrong: you don’t have to do consulting — just tweak the onboarding/set up. Making bespoke solution for the companies with the biggest problems is a great way to get into the market. And it can work on the huge scale. E.g. Palantir.

An example from what we have as a very typical situation at NewsCatcher: a big bank is absolutely blown away because we actually can find news about private companies that they need to track with minimum false positives. And all we have to do is to tweak a bit our entity disambiguation module to work with the data points that the bank actually has.
Some electrolyte is certainly required for a supercapacitor. Hopefully battery research(solid electrolytes) carries over so that there will be no need for soaking concrete in corrosive solution.
Honestly, I think it's just hype and people jumping on the band waggon that don't have a lot of experience yet? It has it's places, and for that it's awesome, but an app db? Come on
Thanks!

While I'm fairly dubious about the proposed dual-purpose structural implementation of this material -- if this works at scale it would be a boon for low cost DIY local energy storage in the developing world and remote areas in other places.

The idea that someone with minimal education/training can construct a durable electrical storage solution using commonly available materials and techniques is an absolute game changer!!
I used to think this way, but the fact of the matter is that if you want to know what’s happening in the world, you’re going to need to pay someone to figure it out. Those people (journalists) need to be paid because food and shelter aren’t free either.

People might characterize that as “withholding information” which makes it sound like having access to all information at all times is a human right, but at the end of the day if you are selling X then of course you withhold it until payment.
AMZN execs are watching AAPL stock go bonkers today on yesterdays AI announcement. APPLE IS DOING AI AND WE ALL NEED NEW PHONES TO USE IT!

I expect a similar thing to happen when AMZN announces some AI consumer product. Never mind they were in a Prime (ahahah - get it - "PRIME") position to be the first mover here.

An opportunity good and truly squandered.
For sales they gave up a good brand, what, 8? years ago when they stopped caring if what they were selling was even a real product and started taking part in the sale of products they know to be fake and/or rip-offs.

They cornered so many markets and, surprise, used that position to let every go to shit for a profit. Still at least Bezos got to wave his wang at the World by going to space.

Early executives at those companies did very well. Early employees did well, but risk-adjusted , not really. I know people who were fairly early at those companies and they own nice SFH in the Bay Area but they're still working as Directors or whatever.

Consider that if you could make 400k (including liquid stock) in compensation at FAANG but you take 180k at the startup, you're basically betting 220k a year on the company. Except unlike any other company you bet 220k on, you won't get a board seat, you won't get access to key metrics, your influence will be dominated by "real" investor's influence.

If your NW is less than 10M, which presumably it is, anyone who's heard even heard of the words "Kelly Criterion" would tell you your nuts for betting 220k a year on one startup. And yet, you get treated like "an employee" and not like "an investor" for taking that insane risk.

So YC has invested in 5000 companies, and you can name 3 that had top-notch outcomes, thats 0.06% success - and you had to work like a dog to realize it! And that money was locked up. Those same early employees could have taken that $220k/ year, put it on Bitcoin or Apple stock, and retired off that. And Bitcoin and Apple were much easier "picks" than an given startup.

The math simply does not add up and the whole system runs off mystique and naivety. And I've worked at startups that gave me a hard time about asking about outstanding shares, about asking about the cap table, about asking about liquidation preference. This is _critical_ information before you invest a significant portion of your life and net worth on a company and that they're guarded about and it should raise the ultimate alarm bells that they don't fall over themselves to explain every part of it.

There's a bunch of propaganda out there "Explaining ISOs, written by a16z" that's a smoke screen of the truth. The math does not add up.

The dream startup employee is really really good at Transformer architectures and really really bad at personal finance. Fortunately for startups, a shocking amount of these people exist. But it doesn't change that if sharp financiers looked at employee equity packages at startups objectively, every single one would agree it's a scam deal.
I think I might disagree, I would absolutely love there to be a rerecording where Mick Jagger croons that feral pigeons couldn't drag him away
I think its less about more risk etc, and its more like, they are the ones starting the company lol.

1. They are providing jobs
2. They are responsible for growing business
3. They are accountable to not only the employees but to board and investors, etc.

They take money off the table because they are in a much different position than say an engineer. It might be bad to say, but the engineer is responsible for one part of the business, the founders and CEO etc are responsible for all aspects of the business, and should be compensated appropriately for it, whether secondaries or higher salaries etc.

Also, secondaries at seed and A are not as common as they were during the 2020-2022 run up.
I've heard tales that Boeing's transporting of fuselages rarely made it to the destination without bullet holes.
Sure but this thread is about technology startups. The jobs you can get anywhere are business IT departments.
For anyone interested in simulating such a drive, American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator both have DLC ("Special Transport") with trucks pulling massive payloads. Lead & follow vehicles. Plus a police escort. Mostly fun and a little frustrating. The latter due to not-always-great AI on the lead vehicles / police escorts
Yes. I found it often necessary at my last job, either due to loading client data from various datasets and staging tables (ideally in an idempotent way to prevent mistakes or double-entries) , or because someone asked "Hey if we already have the data in system a, can we just copy the data to system b?"
Beat Saber was worth the price of admission alone, at least when you could mod custom songs onto the headset itself. There were also websites that would generate a Beat Saber level for any YouTube video you gave it, which was great for playing along to brand-new releases.

It was really such a good game that I'm surprised we haven't seen more stuff like it. Of all the futuristic VR experiences I've tried (even HL: Alyx) Beat Saber was the only one that really felt effortlessly futuristic.
OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 Released
>The iPod was nice because of the storage, but competitors (like Zune) had more storage and were cheaper. It took a while for iPod to get "good" and gain adoption.

You aren't remembering the iPod years very well at all. The Zune came out 5 years after the iPod. The iPod was already dominant by the time it came out (had at least 70% market share and was selling millions of units). The early competitors were MP3 CD players and the Creative Nomad. The iPod outclassed every single one of them.

What was suppressing early sales of the iPod was the size, the lack of Windows compatibility, and the ability of common people to buy music for it.

It was quite chonky in Gens 1 and 2 and even Gen 3 was a bit too large for most people. So when the iPod mini came out sales absolutely took off. Second, was the lack of Windows syncing. That came in 2002 with Musicmatch, and then was made vastly better in 2003 with the release of iTunes for Windows. And with the release of iTunes for Windows people also had a way of buying songs for the device.
This is what i found when looking it up....

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring is made up of multiple layers of materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), wood composites, and limestone stabilizers:

Vinyl layer: A layer of PVC

Glass fiber: A layer of glass fiber

On your second note, it's truly wild to have watched the (popular) use of cast-iron pans and cookware grow over the years thanks to the proliferation of their benefits and the early 'niche' character of them online. But it's also hilarious to watch the most online thing ever happen with them: people nerd out over minutiae and get into pointless optimization debates or "best practices" when it's just a big piece of cast iron. It's hard to fuck it up. And yet you see people babying them like crazy online with hyper elaborate seasoning and maintenance routines. 99% of them are overkill, but people are inundated with them and come away with a false idea of their requirement.

All you need to know for long term maintenance is don't let the pan rust. Cooking in the pan will season the pan. (People will act like that's impossible without ultra-refined avocado oil or meticulous reseasoning protocols - they're wrong.) If you wash the pan, dry it on the stovetop; running a little water over the pan won't "ruin" the seasoning. That's it. Otherwise you can beat the ever living shit out of the pan and it will still be perfectly fine.

The search results are ranked based on a couple of factors.
Some factors have a bigger impact on the results than others.
One of the most significant factors is the number of stars showing how much the community is interested in the repository.

Well, the horses are indigenous to that habitat, after all.
Yeah - financial risks aside. It just seems difficult to do this without major disruptions to family life as I am a part of it. Of course, you can hire as many people as you need (if you have the means) to resolve the logistical problem. But my absense isn’t replaceable like that.
I feel like this really stretches the definition of "syllable".

For example, "interesting" becomes "snirnktstsk". That feels like at least 2 syllables, if not 3, for the same reason "pspsps" (think the sound you make when trying to beckon a cat) should be considered 3 syllables.

It's a given that they'll start and end on keyframes, so you can cut the middle section without losing or re-encoding anything.

> I understood how to do arithmetic for numbers with multiple digits before I was taught a "procedure"

What did you understand, exactly? You understood how to "count" using "numbers" that you also memorized? You intuitively understood that addition was counting up and subtraction was counting down, or did you memorize those words and what they meant in reference to counting?

> Also, I am not even sure what you mean by "memorization is how you learned fractions". What is there to memorize?

The procedure to add or subtract fractions by establishing a common denominator, for instance. The procedure for how numerators and denominators are multiplied or divided. I could go on.
I'm still trying to figure out if dealing with OPEC and having to constantly control and monitor some of the most conflict prone areas and governments that have no love for America. . . . OR. . . .having to deal with trying to be energy independent and all the issues that come with it like what's being pointed out in the article.

There is no silver bullet for being able to power a country with 340+ million people - some of who live in very inhospitable climates (Arizona/Alaska) where one solution will work for everything and everybody.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but every time something like this happens, we focus on all the negatives instead of understanding the alternatives aren't that great either.
really fun read and great diagrams throughout!

Hello!
You asked how is Code Finder different from GitHub Search.
So there is some difference in the user experience and ease of use compared to GitHub search.
Let's say you want to look for some ML algorithms for image recognition written in Python.
In Code Finder you would simply write it as it is: Machine learning algorithm for image recognition in Python
If you want to use GitHub's built-in search and get the same results you would have to write some complex syntax like this: machine-learning AND image-recognition language:python language:Jupyter-Notebook

Besides that Code Finder ranks the search results based on a custom-made algorithm that measures the relevance of the search result to the search request, and in that way, you get an easy search experience with the most relevant answers.
They don't seem to have modded Alexa to keep pace with accessibility of the pubic to LLMs though? Presumably they'd have just let that market lead slide in the same way.
This isn't a 'real' contest. It's a marketing promotion for Nathan's hotdogs disguised as a competition. Always has been, always will be.
Even while they were free to download, they were inconvenient and slow to download, especially if you wanted a whole channel - pirates just have better ways to share files.
Never a good idea to drink hot metal plates

I've never ever seen that in the wild, but that would def. make it sane to use the blur tool.
You are not taking into account QSBS. [0]

When you sell your stocks before 5 years of holding period has passed, you pay significantly higher taxes. So you don't get 500k net, you get 500k gross, or probably 300k net. Which makes the de-risking less compelling.

I had a manager who came from Amazon and shared some of the horror stories from their time on Alexa. It seemed like a lot of senior folks were only using it for career advancement because it was where all the R&D money was flowing into. So a bunch of hard working folks building things, leadership playing political games with each other, and an org that had no idea what problems they were actually trying to solve.

It definitely captured the market, but without a top down vision, the whole thing was just a huge letdown.
Interesting breakdown of the dataset. Are you guys manually assigning labels to the clusters after the fact or is this using some kind of LLM to create a cluster name?
> . I'd be inventing their core technology (which didn't exist yet and which their CTO wasn't fit to do) and probably interviewing every engineer and growing them.

I see this a lot in failing startups:

The CTO is a pure manager who can't do any actual engineering. The result is that the shares and salary that could have been traded for getting product to market faster & better ends up being burnt on an empty chair.
Buddy when you're eight comments deep fighting for your life like this how are you gonna pretend your initial statement was innocuous. You came here with a bone to pick.
PostgreSQL also supports a hash index type, which should be able to handle random (v4) UUIDs pretty well. Since there's no meaning to the sort order on random UUIDs anyway, the limitation to exact comparisons (=) shouldn't be a problem.

It doesn't seem like you can specify what index type is used to implement the PRIMARY KEY constraint, though, so this is really only useful for certain situations.

Framework – Framework Laptop 16 in stock and more open source releases
I don't think it needs any justification, really. The investor decides, whom to sell to and how much. If the founder doesn't want to organize a sale for employees, then he doesn't do that. He would probably have to pitch it and include it in to an already complicated funding round.

I totally understand why a typical founder doesn't want to do that. If for you as an employee it is a deal breaker, then you can complain about it, change company or whatever. It is not like the founder owes anything to the employees (unless he has promised that). Everyone in the equation are adults and have to decide themselves, if the position they are in makes sense for them with the terms they have.
You have to contextualize it with the historical background.

The Cold War was ongoing and there was an arms race in research occurring between the Soviet Union and the United States with regards to directed energy weapons and influence/control of the mind.
> Presumably some state is changed somewhere in the system to indicate a detection.

Yes, but "state change" happens all the time! When the photon bounces off the mirror, even if 100% of its energy is reflected, it imparts momentum to the mirror. When the photon propagates through free space, it "changes state". All state changes occur exactly in accordance with the time-evolution of the Schrodinger equation.

> Do we know that branching is unbounded when we're not looking?

This is a basic principle of QM, which would have pretty measurable macroscopic impact if it were invalid. "Branches" are not even finite in number, even for a single particle in free space; its position and momentum distributions are both continuous, with a minimum possible area guaranteed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and even so much as precisely localizing its momentum already creates an infinity of equally-likely possible positions.

Hello
We get all the search results directly from GitHub, so if you didn't find it on Code Finder, then it is not on GitHub.
You can try to change the search request and try and see what it gives you.
Code Finder is primarily for repositories.
There is no danger. If the output of the Neural net is wrong, then Lean will catch it.

>what if it does because the LLM did not properly translate the mathematician's intent to Lean language?

How so? The one thing which definitely needs to be checked by hand is the theorem to be proven, which obviously shouldn't be provided by a Neural network. The NN will try to find the proof, which is then verified by Lean, but fundamentally the NN can't prove the wrong theorem and have it verified by Lean.

Non LLM conversational agents are a dead end. It's a waste of that one programmer's time now that we have an imperfect but pretty good solution. There is zero discoverability in voice commands and the best you'll do is remember 3 to 10 commands if you can't actually ask the agent anything. Better to have that person work on the team to improve the LLM.
I assumed by now that "Python _____ has no canonical form" was a feature, not a bug, to the Python community.
