I'll agree that it's not super common that holding onto RSUs makes sense, but I think it's more common than "rare exceptions".

Ultimately it's an investing decision. If you believe the stock price is going up at a rate faster than the rest of the market, and are willing to accept the risk that a concentrated position like that entails, then that can make financial sense.

For people who want to hold their RSUs but still want to diversify to some extent, my usual recommendation is to pick some percent of the shares that vest every quarter to sell immediately, and hold the rest. And -- critically -- to stick with that commitment every single quarter, and not fall into the trap of thinking "oh, the stock seems to be doing so well, I'll skip the sale this quarter". (Of course, a measured re-evaluation of the plan is a reasonable and good thing to do every so often.)

> App Store and Google Play sucks in every way. Discovery is awful. Their approach is awful.

~30% of Apple's total value could be attributed to the App Store alone. That's a ~$1T company.

If you think the product is awful - I don't know what to tell you.

Next, are you going to tell me the iPhone is awful and Nvidia's GPUs, too?

Look, just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean it's awful.

The App Store could be better. It doesn't suck.
There is no "accessing the secure enclave". Not even the iOS kernel itself can access the secure enclave. That's the point. It's designed to keep your biometrics and private keys safe even when the entire OS is compromised.

It's also not completely relevant to third party payment processors. They don't have to use the secure enclave at all. They could theoretically just ask for your credit card info every time. They're not allowed to do that currently for no other reason than Apple's bottom line.

For convenience, they'd probably want to store it encrypted on your device, using a private key from the secure enclave to decrypt it when you pass the biometrics test. That's the normal level of "access" to the secure enclave that all apps should have. It's in no way concerning because private keys and biometrics never leave the enclave, but can still be used to decrypt data elsewhere on the device when the biometrics test is passed. It's the whole reason why the secure enclave exists in the first place.

Here's a simple example where the certain knowledge of an opponent's hand comes in handy:

Player 1: "Hey, Player 2, I'll trade my wheat for your brick."

Player 2: "I don't have a brick."

Player 1 knows that Player 2 got two bricks and a wood 3 turns ago, and he bought a road. So the one card that's left over is a brick.

Player 1: "OK, I play a knight development card, I move the robber to your plot, and I take your card. Lo and behold, it's a brick!"

Yes, definitely, I think we live in a bit of a bubble here where we actively read and think about these things. I think most early employees will see a 0.5% or even 0.1% equity offer and think that's incredible. It barely even registers that the founder sitting across the interview table from them holds 40% or whatever, and that while, yes, the founder has taken on more risk than they are about to take on, they certainly have not taken on 80x the risk or are putting in 80x the work.

> background car noise […] the sound of a background highway almost everywhere in the USA

To each their own I guess. Grew up in LA and the persistent thrum of the faraway highway at all hours of the night is a beautiful sound to me (but I also like/make experimental music so take that with a grain of salt).

I have so many fond but also sad memories of sitting on the roof alone at night on a relatively calm street, looking at the purple la sky (not a star to be seen) and just listening to the sound of the highways a few miles away. People often talk about how watching the stars makes you feel small but hearing the density of urban life in a way where it has just receded into a stochastic ever present hum is a wholly different way of feeling small… the life of the city goes on around you at all times, people zooming along in their cars completely oblivious to your existence and everyone else’s. All those individual discrete sonic events blending together, smearing out into a a single ambient rush. When you stay still and silent and listen for long enough that sound eventually becomes a roar to lose yourself in. When you eventually move and go back inside, climb through a window and shut it, the silence inside in turn becomes deafening and strange. Try it. Try to really listen to it.

See, I find this to be the core of what is wrong with the idea of "hard" sci-fi. The technology we have today is magic to a medieval peasant. Just because the explanation of how something works gets disproven, doesn't mean the invention itself won't happen.

Take FTL travel for instance. Sure, lightspeed is a hard limit, but we don't know yet whether wormholes are possible, which meanns warp drives are not impossible too.

But more than that, it's the effect that tech has on people that makes good sci-fi, not the tech itself. In this sense, even the technically impossible remains relevant. For instance, we'll (likely) never meet aliens, but most of us will one day be confronted with the themes of aliens stories, e.g. understanding people beyond our culture, dealing with the unfathomable, grieving our place in the universe, etc. "Hard"ness is just aesthetics.

Posts like this underscore why the smart money is betting on Google as the long term AI winner. Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc. are trying to address problems with consumer video cards and spending billions to try and out bid each other to win Nvidia's favor - while Google is on their 6th generation of custom silicon.

Literally the only thing that can stop Google now is the fact they keep bringing Microsoft and Oracle flunkies into leadership positions.

usually the term 'dispersion' is contrasted to what diffraction gratings do. 'dispersion' normally refers to the frequency-dependency of phase velocity in a wave medium, which can result in separating waves into separate frequencies but does not always (for example, a pulse train traveling through a one-dimensional dispersive medium is a case of great practical interest). but it's true that from time to time people do use the term 'dispersion' to refer to separating light into individual frequency components with a diffraction grating. it just isn't the normal meaning, and it isn't one i'd seen before

The most relevant (practical) questions to me are, how does this capacitor behave long-term? How does it fare over a large number of charge/discharge cycles? I'd like to assume that, since it's not a battery, thus not based on chemical process for energy storage, it will retain its initial performance for a long time, but the question is - how long? A human generation (i.e. 25-30 years)? Or maybe longer, as for at least ten generations? That would directly affect the demand for long term investments in the construction sector. And if things may sound rosy from its storage capacity capability, if it will get used for combined structural and energy storage use, what long term impact on structural properties may render this dual use?

99% of people opening the App Store are not opening it to solve a problem with software. They’re opening it because it is the only way to install Disney+, ChatGPT or whatever thing they’ve heard of through a $10m-$1b of ad budget and ubiquity in the discourse. Compare to Steam where most people opening it are doing so to launch games and learn more about other new games. The App Store sucks.

I'm inclined to agree. People seem to be getting hung up on 'no, _my_ React app is hard and challenging for me!' which completely misses the point. I think it's a combination of a few things:

- skill is generally log-normally distributed, so there's few exceptional people anyway (see also: sturgeon's law, 99% of everything is crap)

- smaller/earlier fields may self-select for extreme talent as the support infrastructure just isn't there for most to make it, leading to an unrealistically high density of top talent

- it's a fundamentally different thing to make a substantial impact than to cookie-cutter a todo list app by wrangling the latest 47 frameworks. in that, it's highly unlikely that the typical engineering career trajectory will somehow hit an inflection point and change gears

- presumably, from a cost/benefit perspective there's a strong local maxima in spewing out tons of code cheaply for some gain, vs a much more substantial investment in big things that are harder to realize gains (further out, less likely, etc). the more the field develops, the lower the skill floor gets to hit that local maxima. which therefore increases the gap between the typical talent and the top talent

- there's not a lot of focus on training top talent. it's not really a direct priority of most organizations/institutions by volume. most coders are neither aiming for or pushed towards that goal

All told, I think there's a bunch of systemic effects at play. It seems unlikely to expect the density of talent to just get better for no reason, and it's easier to explain why left unchecked the average talent would degrade as a field grows. Perhaps that's not even an issue and we don't need 'so many cooks in the kitchen', if the top X% can push the foundations enough for everyone else to make apps with. But the general distribution should be worth paying attention to bc if we get it wrong it's probably costly to fix
When looking at the diagrams for an ideal wall [1], I am reminded of diagrams of capacitors from Physics classes. This got me to thinking that two conductive vapor barrier with a dialectic/insulator sandwiched between them, such as aerogel, would work well as a wall element, and a capacitor storage device for a house.

For anyone with Chat GPT - I would be curious what it would say if asked:

- I want a bearish trade strategy with bounded max loss and a profit or loss realization time frame of approximately 6 to 12 months. Do not consider stop losses as a way to bound either max profits or max losses.

- I want a bearish trade strategy with high delta and low theta and vega risk, that also has bounded max losses (without using stop losses to create a bounded max loss).
How do TPUs perform compared to GPUs on LLMs and image generation?
The value is in the lock in, though. This absolutely sucks for consumers and the profit is just an indication of market inefficiency. We need to be able to force competition to bring the valuation of the app store and the value the hardware provides users in line with the potential of the technology.

If apple truly is bringing the market what it wants at a price folks find reasonable surely this competition wouldn't impact anything!

I think cyberpunk made it a cheap trope, so we don't notice it anymore, it's just a depressing constant in stories, with grubby, real world consequences like having to live on a toxic cocktail of anti rejection drugs so your outdated Neuralink V implants don't go septic.

You don't need high concept telepathy. You just need an implant. Then you can hear your mission handler in your ear, feel the traumatizing sensorium of your attack drones as they get crippled by an ICE strike, or send your consciousness on a one last valiant cyber dive that inevitably leaves your body in a vegetable state.

Telepathy has become as cheap and lowdown as human life in this setting, so it no longer gives us wonder, but a self reproaching dread of, "are we really going to do this to our Bodies and Minds? I guess we are...."
I am confused about how the MCTSr algorithm actually is. It is not clear how it is better than simply mutating potential answers (by LLM) and sorting by LLM self-eval.

I have a hard time understanding how many LLM evals MCTSr actually does. How the rollout limit is implemented is not described at all. It doesn't seem like it can mean the same thing as for normal MCTS because there is not any definitive "end" to the tree search. Additionally, MCTS is normally limited by the nodes expanded.

Aside from theoretical concerns, it is not clear why they have not include an > 8 rollout version in the tables or used an LLM stronger than Llama 3 8B. If the concept scales well it should be able to beat GPT-4 and friends by a rather large margin.

Obviously marrying search with LLMs is a ripe area for research, but I find it hard to actually take anything away from this paper.

The OPs complaint is not that the risk is high, the OPs complaint is that the risk relative to their market rate is not balanced. Often you can end up working for junior founders and would be better off as a founder yourself.

If the founder views you as replaceable, then why not work at a big tech which would pay you dramatically more? Successful startups are not often populated by the irrational.
My fear is that if I want to download Skype or Teams, I’ll need to first download the Microsoft Store app, and then sign in, and then download the app I want. And the store will be slow and shitty and packed with ads. Likewise for Meta, Adobe, every big game publisher, etc. And my subscriptions will end up spread across multiple different stores rather than all in one place.

That feels like the natural direction App Store competition would take us. But, on the other hand, it doesn’t seem to have happened on Android, so maybe I’m being overly pessimistic.

You just have to put regulation in for supercapacitors that batteries don't need. Batteries have natural internal resistance, so they "meter" the power out, whereas capacitors are perfectly happy releasing all of their energy at once (also known as a bomb). If accounted for I don't see it as a big deal, but it is a potentially explosive risk.
I don't know of any singular resource, but if you ask me here or in r[eddit]/FoodNerds about a specific vitamin or mineral, I will be happy to share what I know. You can message the mods there if you want with a specific question.

The FDA doesn't set the values, and be glad they don't because they're very corrupt in ways you wouldn't realize. If it were up to the FDA, every product that doesn't pay the FDA a bribe of $1 million for "certification" would be banned, and then everything would cost the consumer 10x. You would also then have to pay a useless licensed practitioner for the privilege of buying anything, typically at a dose that would be too low to improve health. The NIH ODS sets them, and you can read them at https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/

There is no standard because each vitamin and mineral is unique and special. There are some heuristics, but they only go so far. For example, an ideal dose is often (but not always) close to the average of the minimum and maximum limits.

And believe me when I say that I do my best to keep the cost as low as possible while keeping the quality good enough.
