Lots of good comments in this thread, but I think this is a critical one. It seems you've (OP) almost already decided, but you're unsure about details such as how to retain software developers. Before you go into such details you need to be sure you want to make this move. This must be a strategic move, meaning a long term move where you're sure you're gaining a strategic competitive advantage through this being a core competence (in the academic/theoretical strategic sense). There are very few quick fixes in IT. Most projects are grossly underestimated - in particularly if you lack the competence in-house today (easily 10-100x).

At it's core, it should be a decision that is not only about control over the software, it's about bringing the knowledge about the processes and technical complexities of doing your business in-house. You might think you know all about it, but most likely you don't (otherwise most IT projects wouldn't fail). The big cost in IT is specifying exactly how things should work (that's basically what coding is all about). If you're not a developer (and even most developers underestimate/don't fully understand this) it's highly likely you underestimate this part of it (otherwise it would be easy for you to code it yourself - again, how to code is not a big deal, it's specifying exactly how it should work).

Software development is a lot about managing and documenting processes, aka knowledge, about your business.

Otherwise I agree with lots of other comments. Make sure you and the rest of the business is sure and have enough budget/resources allocated for a long time forward. Bring in a CTO/leader with the experience/skills of doing something like this. Make sure that person has the mandate to do what's needed (hiring, culture, etc). Could be a good idea to do it step by step to test out (again, a good mindset is to see this as an investment in learning about how to do your business, using IT/automation). A hybrid approach could work (take over existing code, use another platform/ERP/system as a base) - all depends on the specifics of your business, how custom your business and processes really are, how core to your business they are, etc.

Good luck!
The legal theory is that asset forfeiture actions are filed against the assets, not the owners, so the owners civil liberties are not violated.

The history of civil forfeiture actually dates back to the British, with the British Navigation Acts generally recognized as the first such law. It spread to the U.S. colonies through "writs of assistance" and was part of the original legislation passed by the First Congress (to enforce taxes and customs duties). It was limited to that until Prohibition, when it was expanded to target bootleggers. After that success, it was expanded to target drug dealers generally and has since been used on a broad basis by law enforcement agencies without discretion.

There is still due process: the asset is accused of being used in furtherance of a crime, or the result of a crime, and the asset is required to prove that it was not. However, because this is a civil action, the burden of proof is simply "more likely than not."

Note that some states are pushing back against prosecutors' use of civil forfeitures where the defendants have not been convicted or even charged with a crime. In California, the Bar Association is reviewing proposals to sanction prosecutors for pursuing civil forfeiture in such situations (though, full disclosure: they've been reviewing these proposals for almost a decade...).
> Should I answer anything else besides "I'm looking for a job and this position matches my skills"?

Yes. If someone at a company is asking you this question at all, they aren't cynical realists that expect you to answer "because I need a job" or "because I want money" even though those things are the truth. People who like those answers just don't ask that question in the first place. You need to answer with some bullshit about how their mission really speaks to you or about how you didn't feel like you made enough of a difference to the world at your last company and believe you have a better opportunity to do so at this new place.
> it would help if they did because the project fails after a year due to the overwhelming burden of the disorganized legacy

It's always someone else's fault with you. It's always someone else's goof. It's a mystery why no one listens to you.

Over a full year of disorganization where you are a powerless contributor and a non-lazy victim and those unfair tyrants deserve to crumple and fail at the end of it?

I'm not buying what you're selling, hyperbole or not.

To answer my own questions:

There is no mechanism to self-check your cognition for viability. Only other people (the team) can check your ideas in the moment with agreed-upon evidence/track record as a long-term proof.

Because you need others to validate your strategies and designs, which are likely flawed, you need to work harmoniously with others.

Therefore, you need to ingratiate yourself to them and respect them so you can influence them and you'll eventually get your way with the team if you're any good. It's called being a team player.
Yep, “too many SKUs” killed off the consumer HDD a few years faster than it had to die. If these companies had focus groups that reached out to ordinary people they’d realize it sounds absolutely incredible to most people that you need one hard drive for a 3-5 bay NAS, another for a 6-9 bay NAS, another if you are recording from video cameras.

Even if there was a real benefit from optimizing firmware and saving a few cents with cheap washers for drives in a low vibration environment there is a much more certain cost in that you have to qualify the firmware, risk introducing errors, etc. I can imagine that Best Buy might have been able to stock one model of high capacity HDD but no way were they going to stock more colors of WD drive than there are on the rainbow flag. That lack of product sense locked manufacturers out of the retail market.

(Makes me think of the cringe monthly hard drive roundup in Anandtech where an enterprise drive produced in huge numbers in a single SKU would usually be $80-100 cheaper than prosumer drives that, according to the spec sheet, consumed about 0.5W less and were about 3db quieter… And I have plenty of those enterprise drives still spinning after all these years, the only time I think about the noise is when the machine boots and the drives emit a throaty chirp that makes me think of a Ferrari spooling up.)
I checked my policy and they use the "surface water" term. So it's probably something that varies by company and perhaps region.

To get a flood policy you would have to speak to a broker about whether you qualify for the National Flood Insurance Program. They won't issue a policy to you directly.
Back in the XUL days there was an addon that did this. And it wasn't just two, I'm pretty sure you could split arbitrarily deep, both horizontal and vertical.

We lost a lot when they abandoned that.
Also ADHD (medicated) and I would say terminology matters a lot. GTD is it's own distraction loop (for me). I enjoy identifying and grouping problem spaces and creating TODO actions to solve them. Thus get stuck on steps 1-3(4) and never get to the doing because I am doing!

I'm doing the GTD and getting 3-4 of the 5 steps done! Good job me. Except it's not, it was just another distraction. When I view what needs to be done in terms of "action that does the thing", or going on quest* as described here, I am much more successful. Meds makes the doing of something productive possible, but that something can be anything productive.

Knowing I am GTD by working on the first few steps is getting something done. But not really. When I narrow down what I need to do into a single main "quest" and/or coming upon a side-quest and seeing it as that so I can get back to the main thread, I'm taking real action towards it. That doing of something is the actual doing of the thing. Taking the journey of the quest minus all this busy work of defining what I want to get done or what my quest/journey should be, and doing it instead.

* I don't actually tell myself I'm on a quest like this article seems to suggest, but "quest" is a very good descriptor of my process (and may start using it because I personally find it fun, and my ADHD like fun)
I wonder if Spike Jonze realised how accurate his near-future prediction would be with Her.

I don't think chip design conversation, particularly for mobile, really have much to do with the semiconductor production conversation. Sticking with that theme when Apple was doing their own mobile CPUs with ARM Intel's semiconductor fab capabilities were industry leading.

I think Intel probably deserves a mention in the article but that line of question feels like the wrong angle of approach for it.

Yeah I think it's a US thing. It's surprising how vehement people are in the comments when you suggest they could drink without a straw.

I was thinking back, I just went on a 2 week vacation in NZ and was eating out a lot. I ordered soda a couple of times and was never given a straw. The kids did get straws a few times with juice drinks.

It's a cultural/learned thing but people don't realize that so they get cross about it, one way or the other.

>Kids these days have it easy.

Sure but also a bunch of people in this thread have been vastly over-estimating how many of their peers actually beat a lot of these games. Plus modern games have plenty of stupidly challenging levels. I pretty much fail on any game that makes you make dozens of perfectly placed jumps in a row or walk across narrow platforms and end up having my kids complete those for me.
I'd be happy to share my experience with you. We've solved problems like this for a lot of folks with small or non-existent internal tech teams. I agree with the small team of experts approach, but there are pitfalls there too.

i've been looking for these two ROM packs for NES forever

First mystery ROM: It was called 101-in-1 or one of those bootleg multiple games in one cartridge and there is a menu list of all the games you can play and at the bottom there is two crab like characters walking towards the center from the left and right and when they meet they pull away from each other but different color. The games in this cartridge were insanely tough.

Second mystery ROM: side scroller but there is this weird dune like worm monsters, definitely not kid friendly as the game had creepy images but it was the hardest game I ever played on the NES

> one must explain how and why Apple decided to develop their own (first mobile, then computer) chips in the first place instead of sticking with Intel.

Re mobile:

1. Timelines. Apple only transitioned to Intel in 2006 on their computer side, the first iPhone was announced in 2006. As a company they had little overall Intel experience. There was no "sticking with Intel" because they'd just switched to Intel concurrent with the development and release of the iPhone

2. iPod. Apple's prior mobile devices were already using ARM processors. That's a lot of experience and existing supply chain connections to take advantage of.

3. Mobile Intel chips sucked. They drew too much power and were not suitable at that time for a mobile device like a phone (already more power hungry with the wireless components compared to something like an iPod).
On this point it’s worth noting that internal users are very very different from external users too.

An internal user that can wander over to Bob and say hey, this thing isn’t working quite right, I’ll grab a coffee with you and we can talk through it, is very different from a paying corporate who will not tolerate service falling below a certain standard. I joined a company where they were trying to transition an internal piece of condition monitoring software to be a SaaS app and it went really badly wrong, the sales people seemed to assume it was ready for this but it just wasn’t and needed a huge amount of hardening and security work, not to mention features to make it easier to use.
What if you do not have enough time to do you best work... Problem isn't about caring, problem is when you care it takes time and when it takes time nobody gives a shit, because they do not care good software but just ship and get results. Also when you have a codebase full of fixmes or bad code it is not easy to adding a single line sometimes because 'technical depth'.

Tiny doses can generally avoid this. When you eat a banana, there are probably over 1 million different chemicals in there. There are probably a few molecules that exist nowhere else on earth.

Yet nobody is worried about the safety of a banana, because the concentration of the really rare chemicals is low enough to not matter.

One thing to be aware of is your existing supplier might play hardball with your data.

I’ve known companies in this situation try everything from price gouging (“it’ll cost you $10 a record to export your 2 million records”), to just flat out refusing to pick up the phone, answer emails, or reply to legal threats: in principle a court can tell them they need to hand data over, in practice they can drag their feet.

As a former CTO I think you might need help to help you figure out your strategy in more detail and then get it delivered. Plenty of non-tech businesses have dev teams, and it’s becoming more and more frequent in my experience. You can attract a team with flexibility, autonomy, a promise they can learn new things and a great mission. A good CTO with experience in startups can probably help you get that lined up right.
Stepping back to observe a general pattern: When an organization permits and spends a disproportionate amount of time on nonsense and/or unfair governance then it could be too caught up in drama like ideological wars instead of its original mission. At that point, high performing and interesting people disengage or find another organization that doesn't waste their time or energy.

The SF MoMA case follows a similar pattern. [1]

The Hebrew scriptures and Buddha were plenty troubled by death prior to Christianity. I don't see why the equivalent of an intelligent ant civilization wouldn't remove aging from individuals once they were advanced enough. Jellyfish don't age, and one of The Expanse aliens (to mention a scifi example) were jellyfish-like, and had made themselves immune to biological forms of death.
Yeah, and I think that’s enough motivation for determinants being important beyond as a computational trick. I was being somewhat hyperbolic.

Seeing the determinant as the unique solution to the problem of assigning a scalar to each linear map/matrix in such a way that several natural axioms are satisfied is a very nice way to motivate it. Along with the fact that it, along with the trace, can be calculated from the eigenvectors (from which the basis-invariance is clear).
yes, they are part of the same software package. i guess qmail-smtpd does have to parse the email address somewhat in order to match the domain against rcpthosts so it can reject attempts to relay mail? and yeah, that's what the addrparse() call does in the code i quoted—but it just stores the email in addr as a canonicalized string. so it may end up rewriting things like lelanthran@[10.1.2.3] as lelanthran@lelanthran.com, for example, and also has code to strip out explicit smtp source routes (@foo.com:lelanthran@lelanthran.com) which were still in theory required when qmail came out

so when i implied that 'trying to parse the email address in the qmail-smtpd process' was not a thing that was already being done, i was wrong, so plausibly your recommendation is in fact applicable; maybe it would have been better to parse the email address into a struct with user and host fields, then have email_to_bytes represent the email <kragen@gentle.dyn.ml.org> as T6:kragen,17:gentle.dyn.ml.org, instead of as Tkragen@gentle.dyn.ml.org\0. i mean you could generate email_to_bytes with a code generator (an idl compiler) instead of writing it

then you wouldn't have to worry about the possibility that you'd accidentally left an @ in one part or the other—unless you did relay the mail over smtp to some other host, in which case you would have to worry about it anyway

While outputting DVI! I wouldn't be surprised.
I have a different take. A pet peeve of mine is give things a good name and define what you mean by it. A good name is as much as possible self-explaining. Quest rhymes well with adventure, detours, heroism,... the word itself tends to create the mindset that the author wants you to have.
"Wei et al., have studied the subunit composition of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors responsible for the tonic inhibition of parvalbumin positive interneurons and identified a small molecule (DDL-920) as a potent, efficacious, and selective negative allosteric modulator of these receptors."

A SMALL molecule? And not formula? Odd.
Disclaimer: I used to work at Intel:

Specifically, I was the second person on the planet to game on a Celeron Proc. How? Me and my best friend ran the Intel Developer Relations Group Gaming Test Lab in the later half of the 90s.

Our job was to specifically test all PC games that were being developed against the Intel Celeron procs and the amd alts... with a focus on Subjective Gaming Performance of the Celeron as an "Optimized" feature leader whereby developers were given handsome marketing monies to optimize the games against latest SIMD instructions to allow for the games to be more performant on the Celeron.

THe goal: Show the world that a $1,000 fully capable gaming PC was possible, in their budget, and desirable.

---

The Issue at the time was the graphic bottlenecks -- all the pieces had yet to come to fore: AGP, Unreal, OpenGL, ~~NERDS~~ NURBS!, Games, Graphix Chips (VooDoo, 3DFX, blah blah)

Celeron should have died long ago - but certainly when the first, actual GPUs came along and did the heavy lifting.

I have a lot of thoughts about Intels mess (Transmetta really fucked Intel up in the way an abusive step-relative would) and caused them to lose focus...

Then, just the ridiculous amount of marketing over engineering....

(if anyone worked at intel in the DRG circles in SC5 - and has access to emails of that day - search my name and the thread I started asking why we cant just physically stack CPUs on top of eachother... (this was prior to the Voxel timeline) and was laughed at. it wasnt until several years after that I went on a hike with a labs head and found out about the 64-core text CPUs that were only coming out)

---

I was just having shower-thoughts about intels future as effectively computing grout -- a mechanism to get data from real-world INTO NVIDIA GPUs and then displayed again real-world. And thats it. Thats the only thing Intel may be doing in the future - is grout to display the data components solely computed, as NVIDIA CEO stated himself "All compute will be done on NVIDIA chips" -- delivery of the data through intel's grout (minimally) then again delivered to an NVIDIA desktop GPU...

Intel is like the maintenance staff of a home. NVIDIA is the architect, interior designer, party planner and end user.

(Intel was my first ever stock package: $70 with a $125 option price. 10K shares. I left before ever vesting... it was the late 90s and I had to chase the dream intc: https://i.imgur.com/U9PWURv.png )
On the latency of the first request - How is the CFG cached?

Is it done at the API Key + schema level? Meaning that for a given API key, the latency penalty for a new schema is only paid one time, regardless of how far apart requests are? Or is cached with less duration, e.g. each session, conversation thread, etc?
A charlatan that everyone believes in IS a visionary. There is no other definition of a visionary. Powerful visionaries are able influence behavior and create a future that would not otherwise have existed.
One firm saving $2B saves $2B, open source software that opens up the market for everyone is priceless.

A company like OpenAI that is mostly concerned about pace might see going with the #2 GPU vendor is risky, even if it has the possibility to save money.
Not who you asked, but where I live, the law prescribes three levels of severance pay (one to three months of pay, depending on your time with the company) for all layoffs. Obviously not if you get fired.
I only have L1 / 120V charging at home. Have never used any other charging method for my Nissan Leaf, which I've owned for two years. I have a 20 mile (total) commute, and really only charge every other day or so. I've never reset the efficiency calculator, and the average report is 4.3 miles/kwh. I don't think I really engage in any hyper-miling behavior, but I might drive more efficiently than most.

good luck - i think its an important problem but idk if its venture scale yet. you might explore RLHF/AI data annotation as a usecase.

i'd be most concerned about botting and filtering out low effort surveys - the latter i imagine is a big academic concern. if you came out with a singular innovation there you could probably build a company around it.
