Asymmetry is common in startups, though. Consider one of the complaints from the article, and discussed here: founders get to keep several tens of percent ownership of their companies (at least initially), while early employees get a small fraction of a percent. Founders are generally not taking two orders of magnitude more risk, or doing two orders of magnitude more work.

I think giving founders liquidity but not employees is maybe ok for series A: the founders may have been working for $0 for a couple years at that point, and may have taken out a second mortgage or ran up a bunch of credit card debt to keep things going. An early employee is not going to do any of that once they join, even if they're getting paid a below market rate salary. That is definitely an asymmetry! Getting some liquidity at the series A allows the founders to pay down debt and replenish their savings, financial issues that are probably directly related to their time working on their company.

But after the series A, founders should be able to pay themselves a livable salary. The founders and employees should be on much more equal (or at least comparable) footing when it comes to their regular income. By the time the series B comes along, if the founders are going to get some (more) liquidity, the employees should get some too. That only seems fair.
Thanks for the good comment, but the link you shared has me confused - it's showing a 404, so I assumed it had changed overnight, but looking at IA's Wayback Machine shows that URL as having been saved on a number of previous dates all of which also show a 404.

Presumably it didn't show you a 404 yesterday, as you then wouldn't have shared it.... and I can't work out why it would have been archived multiple times if it's a non-existant page....

Am I being an idiot and missing something? Is there an explanation for why it's 404?

I'm wondering if the tensor parallel settings have any impact on the performance. My naive guess is yes but not sure.

According to the article:
"""
AMD Configuration: Tensor parallelism set to 1 (tp=1), since we can fit the entire model Mixtral 8x7B in a single MI300X’s 192GB of VRAM.

NVIDIA Configuration: Tensor parallelism set to 2 (tp=2), which is required to fit Mixtral 8x7B in two H100’s 80GB VRAM.

> I would expect that no C or C++ programmer would find it intuitive

My guess is that if instead C and C++ had two operators here you'd find C and C++ programmers fiercely defending this reality as the only correct choice.

The tribalism particularly in C++ is very strong. There are a handful of accepted topics for disparagement, such as the std::vector<bool> specialisation but outside that any questioning of orthodoxy is not well tolerated.
> first, we fine-tune a LLaMA-3-8B powered LLaVA-1.5 and then employ it to recaption ∼1.3 billion images from the DataComp-1B dataset

It's a bit surprising this works as well as they report.

After all, you would think if you trained LLaVA on a dataset with low quality labels, you'd get a model that could only generate low quality labels, and re-labelling the dataset with the model would give you labels no better than the original low quality ones.

> Also compare how big Forth is against CL

I would say a lot of this is because CL has a large standard library, but not much of that is primitive. Even then, I would say the CL standard lacks many things, so it is too small for general use rather than too large. From a perspective of implementation, I would almost always choose a small Scheme over Forth or something Forth-like.

> CL isn't 'any other language' though, lisps specifically have quite powerful reflection.

Those functions don't use reflection.

> Forth didn't create the 'problem' of structured syntax, it just didn't provide a solution out-of-box. That's one of the very explicit tradeoffs of the language.

It created the problem of not having structured syntax and that's a trade-off that you lose as soon as you write more than a maybe a hundred lines of code.
3M also make N95 masks without an exhale valve - you should get those instead, the ones with valves are perfectly fine for situations like a non-infected very vulnerable person, but when trying to limit the spread of coronavirus they're basically selfish and less useful, as they don't protect anyone except you.

(Though I must admit, having accidentally bought a few of the valved ones early on in the pandemic, I found that the exhale valve actually meant my warm breath didn't heat the mask & my face quite as much, which was really nice for me as I suffer from hyperhidrosis - excessive facial sweating - but I stuck with using non-valved masks since I'm much less at risk than various friends and family members are.)
Does anyone else hate writing HTML and CSS?
Hey everyone,

I've been thinking about how much I dislike writing HTML and CSS. Are there any tools that can help with this, especially for creating pages, modals, buttons, and other components? Ideally, I'd like to mock them up and have an AI copilot generate the code for me, while still adhering to my code style and reusing my components.

Does anyone else find this kind of work exhausting? I really enjoy working on backend and frontend logic, but writing HTML and CSS is the part of the job I really don't enjoy.

Thanks for any suggestions!
> it's the future of exercise

..for a certain demographic.

VR and video game based exercise isn't a scratch on real world training. Most people either drop off the bandwagon once the novelty wears off or they move onto more effective stuff (resistance training for anaerobic, cardio for aerobic).
My view on Elixir deployment is that for a given complexity of setup, it's no harder than anything else. For a basic single node webserver, `mix release` makes it like releasing anything else (often more easily). For complex multi-node setups, yes there's some hard work to do, just like there with on any other platform. The difference is that the development experience of getting to a working stable multi-node setup is so much easier on Elixir than anything else that you notice the difficult deployment more.
INT8/FP8 benchmarks would've been great, both cards could have loaded them with around 60GB VRAM instead of TP=2 on H100.

Eh, not quite your $250k number, but I was making (inflation adjusted) $200k/yr at a startup with ~$100M valuation back in 2010 (senior SWE level). Not sure if I'm typical, though.

> It’s possible you’d be making $700k+/yr if you were at google.

Possible, sure, but not likely. For a mid-tier SWE joining Google (or another FAANG) today, even $350k/yr salary+equity is probably above the median.

Also that feels like a specious comparison: most people (including those who would be otherwise joining a startup) are not joining a FAANG, and will not be getting paid as well.
My personal (probably non-representative) experience with ChromeOS vs. Android: my ChromeOS device (a Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 2-in-1 Chromebook) tends to get extremely unresponsive (i.e. hangs itself up for minutes before responding again, or just spontaneously reboots) the longer it runs without being rebooted, to the point that I eventually have to hard reset it after about a week of on-and-off use. I basically only use the browser on it (but with lots of tabs open). This never happened to me on any of the many Android phones/tablets I had. Maybe it's some bug in how newer ChromeOS versions work on this by now pretty old device, but it's still annoying as hell...
Android can boot from a mainline kernel, but all that gets you is that phones run a kernel forked from mainline, not forked from Google's fork.

You're expressing an extremely common misconception about the Constitution. The Constitution does not grant you e.g. the right to free speech or the right to bear arms. You already naturally have these rights. The way the Constitution works is to instead restrict what laws the government can pass. The government cannot simply say 'times have changed, we're going to pass laws banning speech and guns' because the Constitution expressly prohibits that.

So instead, if they want to do that, then they would need to amend the Constitution. And that's entirely possible - the process for that is well defined, and it has been done many times. It requires a supermajority vote in both the House and Senate, and then 75% of the US states agreeing to it. It's intentionally designed such that the Constitution will only change when there is overwhelming consensus across all affected groups.

The Supreme Court's role in all of those is exclusively to ensure that laws do not violate the Constitution.
PII is pretty intuitive to define.

Obvious examples: data that easily identifies a person (Photo, name, number, UUID, etc)

Thats trivial to block. Where it gets harder is stuff that on it's own isn't PII, but combined with another source, would be

For example, aggregating public comments on a celeb's post. (ie stripping out usernames and likes and assigning a new UUID to each person.) For a single post, thats good enough. You're very unlikley to be able to identify a single person.

But over multiple posts, thats where it gets tricky.

As with large companies, the process for getting permission to use that kind of data is righty difficult, so it often doesn't get used like that.

Embassy is next-level in terms of developer experience.

If you must use C, ESP-IDF/Arduino aren't terrible. But you still don't really have a package manager or means to abstract anything, especially across devices.

The cohesion present in Embassy between the HALs, probe-rs, etc. is really amazing.

With Embassy for example, I can run the same async/interrupt-driven I2C driver code on any number of different MCUs across various manufacturers. This holds true for many, many different types of peripherals in the ecosystem. For the unique peripherals, implementation style and interface are extremely consistent and high-quality.
Yes, but a while back. I settled on Scaniverse for 3 reasons: It worked well, it had a high App Store rating, and no in-app purchases. A couple years on, it still works great and gets regular upgrades.

BTW, it's not just sculptures. I've scanned rooms (mixed results), relief paintings, loved ones (mixed results but if my children weren't already grown I'd be scanning them at least once a year), and even food.

Food can be quite fun. I showed a restaurateur a scan of one of his appetizers (served on a round stone so it made for good scanning). I used the AR view to project it onto our table and joked "Now I can enjoy one whenever I feel like!" He was so excited that he downloaded Scaniverse on the spot and I showed him how to use it. After that, he took us under his wing and recommended all the dishes he was proudest of. (We still had to pay for them though ;-)

For "straight line" single thread number-crunching, other languages will often be faster. With the new JIT, I doubt they are 10 times faster, but you're right there is a difference.

That's often not the limiting factor though. Elixir makes it very easy to have excellent parallelism on your work so you actually take full advantage of processor. The design of the BEAM means that things are naturally quite low latency, and often you lose performance due to just waiting for things (this characteristic is why webservers on the BEAM are pretty fast).

The other key aspect is NX - like ML libraries in Python, Elixir is just orchestrating and the number crunching is done in C libraries or on GPU etc.

I wonder what would be the alternative, though? Other companies/universities would eventually have made the same breakthroughs, and I don’t think the answer to the innovators dilemma is to do less ambitious innovation?

Can you evidence this belief? Because I'm aware of a paper in which the authors attempted to find an actual proven example of someone trying this, and after a lot of effort they found one in South Korea. There was a court case that proved a bunch of government employees in an intelligence agency had been trying this tactic. But the case showed it had no impact on anything. Because, surprise, people don't actually choose to follow bot networks on Twitter. The conspirators were just tweeting into a void.

I occasionally end up reading Erlang so I can see what's going on in some library. I haven't had to write very much.

If you have decent familiarity with Elixir, understanding Erlang isn't very difficult. You spend 20 minutes grokking the slightly weird syntax and then it's generally just a subset of Elixir. This is of course a bit of a simplification, but it's close enough for when you're trying to understand someone's Erlang code.
