To be honest, this makes a lot of sense. The time saved in support is probably worth way more that costs of dealing with any security fallout
The vacuum is not necessary here, something this simple is achievable with sand casting (search for "Delft Clay") and a bit of practice. Ensure the sprue is wide enough and air channels are plentiful, make sure the metal is as hot as it's possible to get it, and pour swiftly in one fluid motion.

The snag is that you need about 3X your desired weight in metal, which in gold is... probably more expensive than the vacuum casting setup! So maybe the above applies mainly to silver unless there's a good use for the rest of the gold.
Fine then, let's get rid of software copyrights too. We can copy the AI software, models, datasets all we want. They don't get copyright protection for their software while declaring that everybody else doesn't get copyright protection for their work.

Absolutely, and it seems I cannot read :) thanks for noticing
My wife is a creative director and she loves using this stuff. It's just another thing that she's added to her toolkit. It's actually remarkable to me how different people react to this stuff and just one more reason she and I are well-matched. Our reactions to LLMs and Diffusion Models are very similar. These are just new tools for us to accomplish what we want to do.

She used to draw on paper, then a Wacom, now she only ever doodles on her iPad. She designed our wedding clothes with Dall-E + Adobe AI + illustrating in PS/Illustrator.

I used to write code painstakingly in a text editor, then a rudimentary language-aware text editor, and then an IDE, and then an IDE with integrated LLMs. I ask my Mistral to find bugs and to tell me how to work with obscure systems.

These tools are really wonderful for doing things. They're not perfect and don't replace humans. But at every stage I recall most people opposing this stuff. And at every stage I recall enjoying the new tool. So I can only assume that the opposition to LLMs is the same as the opposition to search engines back in the day: "Real knowledge isn't about just looking up stuff. You only really grok something if you read the manual. There's lots of bits that relate to each other that you have to know".
Thanks for having the courage to mention the unmentionable.

StatsCan shows we went from 1.3m non-permanent residents as of Q2 2021 to 2.8m as of Q2 2024. Maybe you’re right about the rate, but however you look at it, more than doubling the population of immigrants in 3 years demands some leadership in coordinating downstream impacts rather than just opening the floodgates and hoping for the best.

Dotenvx: A better dotenv – from the creator of `dotenv`
We've been here before. OE firmware needs to be assumed hostile and either replaced with open source aftermarket firmware, or the device sequestered in a subnet with no internet access.
I think the problem is because AI is mostly created by engineers who have no clue about 'art', all they know is how to automate and optimise for the sole purpose of efficiency which has been the cause of AI eating creative fields including programming ironically as there an art to coding as well.
More recently I’ve been considering neuro-divergence in the context of these personality types. Specially ADHD and Autism. ADHD by example has a whole system effect for someone, with resultant strengths and challenges very much informing part someone’s personality.

Folks with Autism often have traits of being: direct, seek deep details, are able to stick with a few topics to deep excellence, can sometimes struggle reading people’s emotions.

And yes while generalisations, I wonder on how different neurodivergence’s may be hiding in plain sight within some of these personality systems.

I’ve def seen jokes online that notice that certain MBTI profiles are commonly gateway diagnosis for say ADHD/Autism.

Interested in others thoughts and takes on this.

The wheel, kept on an Sudafed repository, will let you lock down your supply chain, plus no need to rebuild every time it gets used.

Friend of a friend decided they could make art with generative AI, and they wouldn't need to practice any skills to do it. They honestly thought they were going to make billions from D&D art. They had also been incredibly jealous of the people who had practiced enough to get good at art or music. Generative AI art was their intended shortcut to money and respect, because practicing is difficult and tedious.

They gave up after being told that nobody wanted their pictures. Now they're even more resentful because in their eyes their "valuable skill" was mocked.
The problem is that difference is shrinking. Compare the ad creep between Windows 7 and 11. Now, compare Apple's first party ads between iPhone 5 vs the current iOS (not familiar enough w MacOS). Apple Music's full screen modal ads suck but I guess it's better than forcing a U2 album on us. And the iCloud ads to upgrade your space may be "subtle and integrated with the colors and less garish," but they're not just in the Settings. I'm getting iCloud reminder emails and Notifications multiple times a day, it's not much better. MS's are more ham-fisted and garish, sure, but the sad thing is watching the enshittification of iOS and society's expectations also.
Obviously if this gets reused you need to put it in a central definition.

Information security and software processes aren't that closely related. You can be secure and yolo in production. You can run an extensive change management system and a) push mostly unnecessary cloud services, b) not use reasonable precautions to protect information in transit (and at rest) when sending to cloud services.

I picked up some of the Linksys Velop wifi 6 routers recently, because OpenWRT works on them, but I figured I'd try the factory firmware first... Woof, it's bad (but I only used the web interface... I wasn't willing to install the app), I lasted a day.

Forming a mesh involves the central node using the default password when accessing the other nodes. I guess that's effective, but felt pretty gross to me.
Libc isn't the language runtime. The runtime is '/use/lib/crt*.o', which has no concept at all of signal handling.

Libc isn't particularly intrinsic to the language, and outside of some assembly to make syscalls, you can implement an alternative with a completely different interface, purely in C.

I don't know how many times I've reasonably pointed out why our product is extremely user-unfriendly - backed by evidence from user feedback and endless reddit complaints - but I still get shot down, badly. "Disagree and commit" they say, which is just short for "do what we tell you and shut the fuck up". If you bring up issues too many times, you end being treated like an agitator and they make your life hell. This has remained true for the many different industries I've worked in over the last 17+ years. Software developers are effectively powerless in many organizations.

It is a strange form of entitlement, not unlike incels.

Somehow people get in their mind that they are owed X, then spiral into bitterness and jealousy when they dont get it, and then lash out arbitrarily.

The part that I dont get is where the sense of entitlement comes from? Imagine such a deep sense of entitlement to free wifi on a boat that you feel the need to take revenge on innocents.

I make art for pleasure and the magical post creation beholding of what has emerged - it's a serious high :) That is of course a private concern, and that said, in my mind there are good points on both side of this argument. It is not a black/white issue.

To amplify my OP, there are certain intangibles regarding cultural artifacts which are strictly non-utilitarian. Culture is expression & is a product of the human psyche (of a coherent civilization). And past will affect the future. Culture minimally is a social tonic, maximally informs societal character.

The germinal question in context of 'high culture' (arts and letters) is whether the omission of the 'bar to entry' that requires acquisition of skill, dedication, and 'a development of a vocabulary' (etc) will have a degenerative long term effect on high culture, given that cultural development is generational and progressive, and the process of becoming an artist is a filter.

it's worth noting: meat production is only resource-intensive because of the amount that we produce. In smaller quantities, cows / sheep / goats can graze on land that isn't useful for anything else. Pigs and chickens can eat garbage.

Pigs especially were a significant urban technological advance, good at turning most kinds of organic matter into usable food. They played a big role in the rise of many civilizations.

If we ate less meat overall, we could absolutely produce it in ways that were environmentally friendly.
CityApp – What will climate feel like in 60 year
You can already represent infinitely many numbers with a finite set of symbols without positional notation, in unary. You can write "1 + 1 + 1 + 1" or "This number of stars: ****" or whatever. This idea (make N marks to represent the natural number N) has surely been understood about as long as counting has been understood.

The advantage of positional notation is greater efficiency at representing large numbers.

the other 99.99% of academics should reconsider their presentation style; the reason their papers don't spark such arguments is that they've given up on educating the ignorant the way scott does

you might say, no, plenty of academics teach undergraduates, and undergraduates are super ignorant. but undergraduates generally don't care whether bb(123456789) is computable or not unless that's on the exam, and their incentives run strongly counter to arguing with the professor if they're unconvinced; the way they've learned to play the academic game is by producing the desired answers, because that's what gets good grades, not finding holes in professors' reasoning

so i think people like scott and sabine hossenfelder are doing profoundly important work, and the groundless controversies around them demonstrate not the error of their ways but the astounding degree to which the current academic system is failing to educate the public
There are better and worse ways to do fact checking. Appealing to evidence is more objective than appealing to vibes or appealing to baseless authority.

Once solid evidence is in sight then are usually some clean objective takes to be had and some fairly obvious or likely subjective takes that a reasonable viewer might have.

The real problems happen when one side objects to what counts as evidence at all or one side puts forward low quality evidence and claims it is beyond reproach.
i'm a dev and a semi-successful artist and agree with you.

the way you sell art is not usually about skill, it's about how you market the art so that people will feel connected to it. it can be a story behind it, the people who are promoting it etc.

a lot of artists make art, don't sell anything and get angry at their audience for not buying it. now some of the blame is shifted to ai instead. i'm still not ok with ai being trained on artists work without permission, but it's not the only reason you're not able to sell art.
Tesla didn't invent this. Many manufacturers have it, including Ford and Volvo.
Analyzing the industry is tricky, though - do you sell to a feedlot, or raise on pasture to slaughter? (Most cow/calf operations sell to a feedlot, but you sound like you may be keeping them all the way?)

The drawback to fully pasture-raised is more methane, of course, but.. I've got no idea how to put that on a reasonable comparison to water use.
> This is such an ignorantly engineering centric perspective.

I gather this is for technical documentation. For people who either are engineers or who work closely with engineers.

> There is value in the larger organization being able to consume documentation and commenting on it and contributing to it.

Agreed! One benefit of "docs as code" as this person calls it is that you can pile tools and metadata on top of it. People have created excellent tools to comment on and make suggestions to Git pull requests, for instance.

> And most documentation systems are far easier adopted by people other than engineers.

That really will depend. And no matter how good the software is, you're likely going to be locked into one corporate service provider. If you instead treat documentation like you do code, you'll have access to a wide variety of wholly interoperable UI alternatives with no threat of lock-in.

Yes, I should have been more explicit: the raw WASM proposal only really defines how shared memory and cross-thread atomics work where it's assumed each thread runs a wasm module (with shared memory regions that are appropriately mapped.) It does not specify how the host environment actually spawns or manages threads or what hostcalls are available for that.

That said I think in the browser something like emscripten can do something akin to "use web workers with shared array buffers" to back it all up so that threading APIs roughly work, but yes, WASI currently has nothing for this.
First, congratulations on launching. I think people are so used to seeing beautiful products these days that it can be hard to remember how hard it is to make anything. Nice work! With that out of the way, here is some critical feedback:

- What is the pitch that you made to YC that convinced them to back you? The market size just doesn't seem that large and I don't understand what will differentiate you from Linear (whose design language you seem to have ripped off, somewhat poorly.) This post and the current featureset is vague and does not seem like a significant improvement. What is the core problem you're solving and why is that valuable? Your launch post above describes a lot of "how" but not a lot of "why".

- Why are you bothering to pretend to be "open source"? You're backed by YC and you'll make money selling access to the product on your "Tegon Cloud". If you're really going to be open-source, you need to make some significant improvements before anyone would consider contributing. Some documentation on how to self-host would be a good start. Look at all the environment variables in this dockerfile — which ones are necessary to run this service myself? https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/main/docker-compose.ya...

- If you're going to be "open source", the quality of your codebase and engineering skills is going to be a deciding factor in whether or not you get outside contributors. Consider writing actual descriptions in your pull requests, describing what you've done and why. Here's a PR picked at random — this is bad engineering work and does not encourage others to contribute. https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/pull/114

My advice is that you drop the facade of being "open source", hire a designer, and do some actual user research to figure out where people are actually struggling with their ticketing systems. The features you're building (automatic title suggestion, thread summarization, and "find similar tickets") do not solve the problems that I have had with ticketing systems. They're small, potentially nice-to-have features that absolutely do not help me understand the core question for all engineering teams: who is doing what, how will they do it, why, and when will it be done.

Insect-scale physics appears to work differently than the physics human bodies are accustomed to.

Among other things:

- Exoskeletons are better than endoskeletons

- Many insects can also walk on water

- Relatively large falls are easily survived

So the physics for insects "walking upside" down is not quite the same as a human doing the same thing. The small bodies of insects interact differently with the environment compared to a human body (or any larger animal)

The artists complaining about this have built their careers and revenue streams on the backs of thousands of years of artistic creation. Where's the compensation for those earlier artists? Did you get their permission to use their content to train yourself?

In almost every creative field, you learn by example. You watch what the Masters have done before you. You know their techniques, tools, and ways of expressing things, then mix those tools and techniques into something you think is original. It's almost guaranteed that somebody else had the same thought you did. Maybe they expressed it, maybe they didn't, maybe they rejected it, maybe it's not been published, but somebody else had the same thought that you did.

An individual is not unique, and people are not unique in feeling offended that they are not unique. People felt offended whenever animals did something previously thought to be uniquely human. People were offended when it was understood that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor. People felt offended when it was discovered that the Earth was not the center of the universe.

This is such a silly stance to take. Just because something is important or painful for you doesn't make it universal, no matter which way you try to frame it. Just like you won't see the users who don't rerequest a feature, you won't see all the users who don't even remotely care about it.
