We totally hear you and that’s why we don’t really charge by keyword but instead look at how many agents we need to deploy/ use cases we build towards. A 1000+ assets is the norm for our users. Would you be interested in connecting on a call to better understand the use cases and tell you more about how it works?
I think that’s an interesting observation.

Indie.vc is as started as a fund in O’Reilly Alpha Tech Ventures, a traditional VC fund.

VC funds typically run on their 2% management fee. Have $10m in assets under management, and get $200k a year to run the fund on (including paying GPs and employees). To increase this operating budget, you raise more money from LPs.

When indie.vc had trouble raising more money, it returned to traditional VC. When Calm Company Fund had trouble raising more money, it started conferences and a low-code agency - ostensibly to get more operating budget.

Now that the markets care about profitable businesses, indie.vc has reopened. But, Calm Company Fund has had to deal with fallout from their non-investing activities - and I’m sure they have to disclose the lawsuit to all potential investors which probably scares them away.

So, there’s a lesson here about how VC funds should invest in businesses, not try to create additional revenue lines.

I have utmost respect for Tyler and what he’s been trying to build. He’s excellent at brand building.

(Disclosure: I have a small stake in Calm Company Fund).

Can it be a lot worse than working as many hours as possible and burning out? Because startup employees do that, without the compensation the founders get.
I think the point is that even if we can scale up DAC to work, we need some carbon-free source of energy to power it. Fixing the atmosphere essentially means we need enough non-emitting energy to run civilization since 1850 in reverse, and preferably much faster than 1x.

... that would just be Linux then? GalliumOS was Ubuntu for Chromebooks (with ChromeOS patches for touchpads etc). Mainline Linux is good enough nowadays for most things.

Several companies offer custom ChromeOS images with their own tools and one was even purchased by Google, but they focused on centralised management for classrooms etc.
It's often enough the case. Our own industry has plenty of examples of things that are net win when they exist in small quantities, or available to small group of people, that rapidly become a net tragedy when scaled up and available to everyone. I keep pondering, if the ethically correct choice needs to always be either everyone having something, or no one at all?
Thanks for explaining! It does make sense that working with a project that large would be a challenge.

> Something I haven't tried but am pretty sure would work well is building a new API connector by loading a current API client into context, the docs for a new API to implement, and then iterating a bit to generate the new one in the right style.

Yeah, that should work well--it's quite similar to how I generally build features with Plandex myself. Having a a model (like the current API client) for the LLM to work from definitely improves results.
It's truly gone nowhere. Still, the most advanced thing you can reliably get it to do is "Set a timer for 10 minutes."

I wonder if these "SmartAssistant" programmers ever actually had a human personal assistant. For most of what you need them to do, you don't even ask them to do it, they just know you and do it. An actually good computerized SmartAssistant would know that it's been a year, so it's time to book my physical with my doctor. It would have contacted the doctor's office for me, checked my calendar, scheduled the appointment, and then proactively reminded me a few days in advance. I shouldn't have to say "Hey, Assistant: Please schedule a physical for Doctor X at Clinic Y on July 1 of this year." (by the way SmartAssistants can't even currently do that).

The voice interaction should only be for exceptional cases: "Hey, Assistant: My trip to the Paris office needs to be delayed by one week." The assistant should then go and re-book flights, hotels, and rental cars, and then when finished, merely say "Done."

Until they can do this, tech companies might as well stop bothering releasing incremental crap products that can barely understand a task I'd expect a 4 year-old to be able to do.
Named after the road where it started, Camp Creek. But also named that way because "camp fire" is buzz worthy for media outlets.
The way you can test if it's accidental gambling is by answering the following:

If you had worked at a different company with pure cash comp equivalent to your RSUs, would you have invested the same $$ in Google stock? Or would you have invested it instead in an aggressive but diversified portfolio (e.g. 100% S&P 500 or even just a bucket of blue-chip tech stocks).

I am confident that for the vast majority of tech employees they would choose the latter if they were operating in a pure cash regime.

Heating and/or cooling can be shifted by hours, depending on the thermal time constant of the building. The better the insulation, the longer it can be shifted. Texas had a problem because so many older buildings there are very poorly insulated.

Thermal energy in general is very cheap to store. This is also true industrially, where thermal storage has long been used for regenerative recovery of waste heat, for example in various places in steelmaking. Thermal storage of heat derived from electrical power is now being proposed as a way to soak up zero or negative price electricity. There's a company based on work at MIT that's doing this, using moderately electrically conductive refractory ceramic bricks as combined storage and heating elements.
While I'm also not a big fan of the current genAI landscape, what's the danger?
I think if you read the whitepaper/roadmap/look at any of the online content relating to their general mission, they have pretty admirable goals along the way to the relatively sci-fi idea of full body reversible cryo! For example, providing human neural tissue to research labs that ordinarily would be unable--due to geographical and supply chain circumstances--to procure it. The implications of that are huge... the typically used rat tissue in neuro research is a terrible analog for the human brain, and technological innovations such as this would surely accelerate the pace of research towards curing neurodegenerative diseases. Also, their aim of reversibly cryopreserving whole human organs could potentially eliminate waiting lists for organs and ensure that every organ recipient receives a donor organ that has had all of the relevant immunological testing done to prevent post-op rejection.

I definitely agree, the future is uncertain, and the prospect of being sent thousands, maybe millions of years into to the future not knowing whether the infrastructure to revive you will still be around (and not knowing whether you will be under a thousand feet of accumulated sediment) is not for most people, if any. However, I think the implications of this technology when considered beyond a knee-jerk reaction are pretty substantial!
Do you have anything comparing and contrasting with temporal?

I'm particularly interested in the scaling characteristics, and how your approach to durable storage (seems no external database is required?) differs

My car is a 2021 Toyota SUV and it only has one recall for a minor issue where the rear turn signals could dim or fail prematurely.
Wow, I just learned that Forth programmers do something similar to the "point free" style in Haskell (which is discouraged in excess). For example, if you have a function like this:

-- f: returns the second argument minus the first
f :: Int -> Int -> Int
f x y = y - x

You could technically rewrite it like this:

f = flip (-)

In practice, I think the flip function is rarely used, except by bots online that rewrite your functions from ones that use variable names into ones that don't, e.g. the website "pointfree.io".

> why C++ is unsafe is that it's full of these unnecessary footguns

I don't see the "footgun". C and C++ allow you to perform divisions by integers. If you don't specify the decimals, it understands that they are integers. It's how it's meant to be. In my opinion, calling that a "footgun" is like saying using single quotes for characters is a "footgun" because someone could interpret them as strings. That's just not understanding the language.
Currently, Restate does not support this functionality out of the box. Since Restate does not need access to input/output messages or state (it ships it as bytes to the service endpoint), you could add your own client-side encryption mechanism. In the foreseeable future, Restate will probably add a more integrated solution for it.

Photography isn't real work from real creatives; painting is. All you're doing is pointing a box and pressing a button, the camera does all the work for you :)

I say this in slight jest as someone who does amateur / semi-pro photography. Yes, the barrier to entry to generative AI is lower than the barrier to entry for photography. Just like the barrier to entry for photography is (skill wise) lower than the barrier to entry for painting. That is completely unrelated to the high end / skill ceiling. You can use generative AI in creative ways. Just like you can use a box that instantly captures a scene with the press of a button in creative ways.
Curious question, what would you think if they told you some sessions are uploaded to Apple for them to evaluate the use of the product and your security?
I actually had the same thought after I had installed it and noticed that the binary was over 600MB. Sure, it's probably just Electron, but still, it was just enough to get me to hold off on actually trying it for now.
Absolutely. Yes, they have many PMs, but thay can always cache downloads in home/.cache/pip or appdata/local/python/pip-cache-common. Packages don’t change so there’s no need for separate caches, just dump them all in one folder and add basic locks on it.

I wonder how much traffic pressure pip remotes could release by just getting caching right.
The whole thing that differentiates this company from the dozen other seemingly-interchangeable new-space entrants is the novel technology they've developed to facilitate reuse. Even if it were the case that there isn't a market for five tons to LEO (and to be clear, Rocket Lab seems to be doing decent business launching a lot less) and all this was was a technology demonstrator, why would you build a technology demonstrator that doesn't show off the thing that makes your company interesting?
This is pretty much what I've come to over the years. It kinda feels like the "IQ Bell Curve" meme:

Beginner: I'll just create an if statement with 3 clauses.

Middle: No! that's clearly a ton of duplication - it's bad code!

Expert: I'll just create an if statement with 3 clauses.

And I can see how people get to the middle position. People often tell beginners to eschew duplication. They learn to see any trio of similar-looking lines as a code smell and jump to refactor. It takes a few years of doing that and getting burnt by it before you can really differentiate "this is duplicative and would benefit from refactoring" from "this only looks duplicative, and is actually cleanest with the repetition in place."

Haha, the infamous Clean Code book - "how to make your code unreadable in these few easy recursive steps". The steps are roughly to extract everything into as small as possible functions that happily mutate lots of state while having "expressive" (read: overly verbose and long) names but no parameters. Make a function "shouldNotBeCompacted" that returns the inverse of "shouldBeCompacted" because of a pathological hate of negatives? Okally-Dokally, or cue Robert C.

The "unsubstantive" part is another matter. Stop and look at the actual quality of my counterparts' comments Dang. Is it (solely) me who is deserving of a scolding?

Linux is behind other OSs at this point in terms of desktop security and hardening; there are of course ever-evolving mitigations for things like memory safety issues, but everyone has that, and more broadly the standard Unix permission model in the single-user system where every application has more-or-less unlimited access to everything else under your account, is very dated. In practice given a random Linux dev installation, it's morally equivalent to a workstation where you only use root. Flatpak-on-everything is like the absolute bare minimum for a comparison to ChromeOS or Android if we're being honest, and still many apps still aren't designed around supporting things like XDG Portals so permissions are typically much more coarse-grained than necessary. Not to mention the general atrocity that is setuid.

You could beat all of this into submission but you'd end up rewriting a lot of stuff anyway, because those things need to be designed with it in mind (PulseAudio never had a concept of permissions and in practice you had to live with that until PipeWire was written from scratch.) The Linux desktop is a big project with a lot of stakeholders in various projects and many of these ideas only really came into the desktop realm in the past 15 years or so. This means progress is relatively slow all things considered, compared to something like Android or ChromeOS, with unified teams and top-down vision, which is why they have more or less completely replaced the entire Linux desktop in that same timeframe and even delivered on things it still doesn't have like HDR, per-application sandbox and permission models, etc.

I do think that in the server space, you can produce reasonably secure and trustable Linux systems based on available distros. But on the desktop, well, it's not so hot.

Looking to work on providing companies easy access to developer environments
Hello, I noticed a problem at my current company. Developers need easy access to developer environments. This is often difficult if a company is using shared resources. If there is a developer environment playbook then it can also mean maintaining different infrastructure for prod vs dev. So I'm curious to learn about how other companies are managing this. Can anyone share insights about you/your team achieves this?
The problem with the Linux DE is that unlike Linux itself (which is great of course) it’s volunteer-ware. That can produce great software when the problem is man-sized (99% of open source is lead by an individual—-usually first author) but for something as massive as a DE you need a team of people, money, and most importantly: one leader responsible for the overall design + UX. With volunteer-ware DEs that’s basically impossible. So what you get is a weird mish mash when it works (it often doesn’t) and really dumb details forgotten about or glossed over as not important to someone who shouldn’t have sway on the committee.

I’ll never waste my time again thinking that this can magically come about from volunteers. If a startup puts out a DE with funding I’ll propably be beta tester—-that’s how badly I want a good desktop on Linux.
I was in a situation with some similarities once. There were several factors that protected the person:

1. They were charismatic, charming, and likable. Fun to be around. But they also had an angry/mean side that started to come out when things weren't going their way. People around them were trained to do things that brought out the fun side and avoid things that brought out the mean side.

2. They built their circle out of people who were impressionable and had a lot to gain by being part of the circle: Early career people, people desperate to climb the ladder, and people who wanted a lot of praise. There was an implicit understanding that as long as you didn't rock the boat, you just had to put up with everything for a couple years before pivoting to your dream position. If you exposed the person, your own resume might look questionable, so you had to go along with it.

3. Anyone who actually questioned them was marked for destruction. They would do everything in their power to discredit you, undermine your work, interfere with things you were doing, argue against promotions, and otherwise bring your career to a halt. It was all done out in the open, as a warning shot to anyone else who questioned it. People notice.

For a famous example, look into the Lance Armstrong story. He didn't just cheat, he tried to destroy the lives of anyone who might get in his way. He's a charismatic celebrity, so to this day he continues to whitewash his history by being nice and likable. Even after everything that has been revealed and admitted, people will still jump to his defense by substituting a lesser narrative and defending that. The common defense is "Yeah, well, everyone in cycling does doping!" even though doping is one of the least concerning things Lance Armstrong did.

Another upsetting factor is that people develop parasocial relationships with these grifters and will go to great lengths to dismiss or downplay their problems. Look at the recent issues with Andrew Huberman for a good example. Not only has his grasp of science been called into question on many topics, but his personal life has been exposed as being quite different than the ultra-righteous fatherly figure that he plays on his podcast. Yet despite this, people who love his podcast will rush to his defense and try to downplay the problems. Like the above story, people try to downplay the revelations about his personal life as if he made a mistake and "cheated on his girlfriend", when the actual allegations are more far-reaching and establish a chronic pattern of dishonesty.
