I do not know background of that. But Stormer at some point also endorsed Hilary Clinton (as a satire). I could imagine they were trolling BBC or CNN, that compared Cloudflare to nacist, for not censoring them.
Hi, congrats on launching!

We've been in this field (AI-based online video editing) for 2+ years now with https://www.onetake.ai ; so I have a hard-earned lesson I'd like to share as a suggestion.

While your landing page is very clear about your features, it is a bit lacking as to the use cases / specific avatar (persona) you are targeting.

You do have a "why Us?" question in your FAQ, but it's not clear who is the "who" you're targeting.

Once we started talking about our user and their needs rather than talking about the technology, that's when MRR shot up. I think this market is tremendously huge - from hobbyists on Reels, to enterprise creating employee trainings, to SMBs needing TikTok content, to information businesses working with mostly long-form video (which is the niche we are after).

But because the market is so big, you need to be clear who can make the most from your tool, so that they can find you. This will also guide your feature set and your UX (e.g. we decided to never ever have a timeline, which is the opposite of everything else that was in the market at the time). There are a bunch of counter-intuitive contrarian moves ahead of you if you want to reach PMF, and I believe you can't figure those out without talking to a narrow type of user.

Just my two cents. I wish you a super successful launch!
It's not _just_ read, it's read and modify but not redistribute in a way that competes with the original product,

> So what is the point of picking software using this license over traditional closed source?

I don't want to compete with Sentry (or a variety of other open-like applications), but I _do_ want to support my employers identity provider, fix bugs (and push them back), and maybe even add features that I/my team use. As an example, I've personally contributed multiple bug fixes, performance improvements and documentation changes to sentry's libraries. I don't want to compete with sentry, I want them to maintain my improvements and for other developers to benefit from my work.
That never occurred to me, but sounds wonderful! I wonder if modern interfaces would have ended up more navigable if there had been the expectation of these dedicated keys on every keyboard?
Apologies for the off topic comment but found very funny that the autogenerated subtitles for the video had “eunuchs” for UNIX.
GPT has indeed been getting more verbose, but revenue has zero bearing on that decision. There's always a tradeoff here, and we do our imperfect best to pick a default that makes the most people happy.

I suspect the reason why most big LLMs have ended up in a pretty verbose spot is that it's easier for users to scroll & skim than to ask follow-up questions (which requires formulation + typing + waiting for a response).

With regard to this new gpt-4o model: you'll find it actually bucks the recent trend and is less verbose than its predecessor.
I mean, I get it, but it's very hard to participate in the courts and pre-court process unless you're identifiable and contactable. So if you don't want to be identifiable, the easiest option is to let the takedown go through and just post it somewhere else.
Looks great. Perhaps more than 30 days comparisons would be interesting. Or customizable should be fast enough with a duckdb backend
Seems to have been (2020)'d the same instant you posted :).
Any patch that I make to a third party dependency increases the risk of upgrading the dependency. Any change they take from us benefits us in the long term, and benefits the industry as a whole.
oh man! such a comment ;-)
What are you considering replacing it with for full-text search?
Does YC accept founders that aren't 22-26 years old in the Bay area and went to MIT, Berkeley, or Caltech? I've met quite a few in person and they fit a very specific archetype. Perhaps thats whose applying, but I do wonder.
Property value pro forma will be based on contracted rents and expectations.

Property value based on cash flows will be based on, well, real cash flows.

Take the contracted rent or cash flows and divide by the cap rate (tends to follow interest rates) and you get the value.

On the pro-forma plan your lowering rents to one implies lowering others and you just cut your building value in half pretty easily.

I mean, it depends who you’re talking about, but there are plenty of cities where the upper-middle-class use the public transport.
I was hoping for this very response (one that bothered to fact check apple's released statements):

yeah, balance sheet is the incorrect technical term.

And yes, obviously they haven't broken it out beyond "services" income on an income statement -- otherwise it would have been news prior to the court fact findings becoming public record.

> But each year, in Apple's annual report, when it breaks down each of its business lines, Apple does say: "The Company's advertising services include third-party licensing arrangements."

-- https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-advertising-google-sea...

> Apple does have a traditional advertising business...$5.4 billion last year.

That being said, what's fanfic about posing a question and proposing a hypothetical?

My primary point is that there are so many adtech apologists looking to drag Apple's claims of privacy, user-focused into the same realm as the ad-surveillance business: wouldn't it be deeply ironic if the vast majority of that "advertising" business (roughly 80% of it) was just payments from the biggest adtech giant of all?

Which is a conditional statement: IF(advertising=google money) -> ironic situation.

IF we can trust the business insider reporter's reading of income statements:

> "The Company's advertising services include third-party licensing arrangements." Like renting out its search exclusivity to Google.

Then it would be ironic indeed for people trying to paint them as no better than google. But my guess is that most people would just shrug and suggest that taking money for default search engine placement is the same as monetizing the entire web.
I have built a similar system for myself, but since it's small scale I just have "groups" of similar items that I manually populate.

I have the additional problem that I want to compare products across France and Belgium (Dutch-speaking side) so there is no hope at all to group products automatically. My manual system allows me to put together say 250g and 500g packaging of the same butter, or of two of the butters that I like to buy, so I can always see easily which one I should get (it's often the 250g that's cheaper by weight these days).

Also the 42000 or so different packagings for Head and Shoulders shampoo. 250ml, 270ml, 285ml, 480ml, 500ml (285ml is usually cheapest). I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose so each store doesn't have to match price with the others because it's a "different product".
As someone with more data, your observation is incorrect and has led you to an erroneous conclusion. The other stores are on the brink of unprofitability also but are seen as having less desirable merchandise so they weren't the favored target.
Free speech has lost all meaning in a world connected by large corporations with opaque algorithms and weighting, where discussions of "free speech" can be drowned out by propaganda.

Propaganda is a slippery slope to fascist genocide. The "marketplace of ideas" does not work if you're never exposed to counter arguments/viewpoints/facts.
That AI will be democratized with the free models and every big player like OpenAI will implode at some point because they’re burning too much capital.
Google: Managing ML Projects
Depends on one's interests. It sounds like my preferences would be more in alignment with yours - music and art - and yes, SF is almost completely lacking that today. But if one were an active part of the LGBT community - SF is a buzzing option. They have various festivals and events almost daily.

Oakland music scene isn't particularly inspiring either. Definitely more independent music events in run down houses, but quality and inventiveness is too often of questionable value.
My problem with Duolingo, as an English person, is the ‘English’ is actually American English (even uses a US flag!) and sometimes marks my answers as wrong when they are actually correct in English! Some of the required responses aren’t even English (e.g. “the books had gotten lost”). I would really appreciate it if they could allow actual English answers as well as American English ones.
Get ready for more manager propaganda
FAFO. Sounds justified.
I miss this so much in chats, even right now when typing this comment. It's too bad that return and enter ended up being the same thing in most applications.
Ah, 2k-line files makes me miss my days of coding in Go.
- Big tech is very different from open source

- The original SWE-bench paper only consists of solved issues when a big part of Open Source is triage, follow-up, clarification and dealing with crappy issues

- Saying "<Technique> is all you need" when you are increasing your energy usage 30-fold just to fail > 50% of the time is intellectually dishonest
Who is hosting it now? I’m inspired by this website, and hope maybe one day I can have a parody website made popular by the Streisand effect. But who should I use to host it? Who should I use as a registrar? I’m a Cloudflare customer, but it’s clear I cannot trust them in this endeavor.

Edit: I did some searching and it looks like it might be hetzner.com hosting it now?
My cofounder and I are thinking of applying again for www.onetake.ai (B2B AI SaaS, with growing revenue and ~3,000 paid users).

With such a surprise short deadline, we're not on the same continent at the moment. Is there any stigma attached to doing the application video remotely on eg. Zoom?

I always assumed that being together to record the video was just better.
When I looked into Go I found it a bit surprising that someone had created a non-expression-based language as late as ~2009.

I have not familiarized myself with the arguments against expression-based design but as a naive individual contributor/end-user-of-languages, expressions seem like one of the few software engineering decisions that doesn't actually "depend," but rather, designing languages around expressions seems to be unequivocally superior.
> My understanding was that Chinese companies had built a lot of the biggest subway systems in various cities from Kiev to Singapore.

From Kyiv to Singapore, sure, but not far west of Kyiv. I’m not aware of _any_ Chinese transport project in Western Europe?
This comment is a complete non-sequitor. Kubernetes solves an entirely different problem from Apache and nginx.
5000 / 17 ≈ 295. Is it a fair assumption to make that a commercial program of equivalent complexity would take 295x fewer man-hours?
While SF is a nice place to visit, but the sheer numbers of unreasonable, lemming-like people who will spend and do anything to cling to live there as some sort of Promised Land™ make it a hellish place to try to live a sustainable life for almost everyone who isn't already a multimillionaire. Keeping a car parked in SF to as far south as San Mateo on the street is a recipe for catalytic converter theft.

Visit the de Young museum's observation tower. It has a spectacular vantage point. The other things California have are: less annoying creepy crawlies, more variety of scenery and microclimates, weather, food, and relatively cheaper property taxes.
Protonvpn is protonmail. They're the same company. They choose to operate in a way that allows user IP's to be given for arbitrary political reasons. They will do it with VPN too if they're "requested".

> the article clearly says this is about anti trust.

Yes, I just don't see how anti-trust laws apply here.

> Corporations do not have the right to just do whatever they want.

Correct. And the main thing (in terms of cartel/monopoly behavior) is that they can't abuse a monopoly position in order to give themselves an unfair advantage. If they avoid doing that, it's entirely legal to be a cartel or monopoly.

I am failing to see how choosing not to do business with Twitter is giving themselves any kind of unfair advantage.

> If this situation were reversed, where a small group of powerful advertisers were colluding to suppress your speech, you would definitely be upset

I certainly would! But I don't think that's what's happening here. Nobody's speech is being curtailed here. It's companies choosing what sort of thing they do and don't want to be associated with.

Twitter can continue to do whatever it likes, and even if there are enough advertisers avoiding it that it ends up putting the company out of business (which I seriously doubt), everyone on it can still speak freely as they always could. They'll just use any of the numerous other outlets to do that with.

In any case, we're just the peanut gallery and what we think isn't actually important. It's what happens in court, and in court, I am very confident that Musk will lose hard.

I'd love this in modern UIs, I've got several apps where return is submitting a multiline textbox with shift-return adding a line, but then a few more that flip it the opposite way around... It's tough to recall which is which and therefore you end up submitting prematurely far too often!

Honest question: Why invent "safety" practices and ignore every documented software engineering best practice? 2,000 line long modules and 200-line methods with 3-4 if-levels are considered harmful. Comments that say what the code does instead of specifying why are similarly not useful and likely to go out of date with the actual code. Gratuitous use of `nil`. These are just surface-level observations without getting into coupling, SRP, etc.
100 is frankly not that impressive for software. A 2-9 system will sometimes work 100x in a row, and a 3-9 system usually will.
~20% of profits, though. Regardless, I found the number staggeringly high.

My absolute favorite reddit expression. I actually donate to an animal shelter every time I read it.
> Is the constant stream of flamebait helpful for twitter, or part of some larger strategy?

I don't think much thought was put into it, but I do think there will be a gradual numbing effect among the comments as people get bored of the criticism. Maybe very gradual though.

Edit: It just occurred to me that you might be referring to user posts on the platform being flamebait; my answer assumed that the action (moving the HQ) was perhaps flamebait, along with other recent changes.
TSMC today has more than 60% of the foundry market share, and an estimated 80%+ market share for the leading edge.

If you exclude Intel themselves (although they also use TSMC now) and Samsung, TSMC is pretty much the sole supplier to the leading edge.

So, yes, TSMC has the capacity.

Your Boeing / Airbus analogy hinges on multiple factors. First, Airbus and Boeing have comparable capacity. Second, they have comparable products. Both are not true when you compare Intel and TSMC.

NVIDIA is heavily supply constrained. Why haven’t they sourced Intel or Samsung as second source?

Historically, there are also many other issues with Intel operating as foundry. Do you think NVIDIA and AMD will be happy to send their CPU and GPU designs to Intel for manufacturing? Independence was one of the main drivers why TSMC was founded. To have an independent supplier who does not compete with its customers.
A lot...as you might imagine the costs of running the whole organization scale immensely.

Pulse was only really janky in the early years; by 2010 it was as solid as anything else in tech. Even then, it was absolutely an improvement over the previous system which either needed manual configuration per program to choose whether to use ALSA, OSS, EsoundD, or Arts with success of portaudio and other sound systems too keep things interesting. Even if you did get things working, I distinctly recall having to restart Firefox in order to play music because Firefox had the only available connection to the sound device.

Developer tool is 40 years old: can it be improved?
I found this article difficult to understand. Key details aren't clearly enunciated like:

Does the city know it's advocating for a pirate service? It isn't clear. The records and transcripts we're shown are super routine. There's no moment of dawning comprehension where the city (or anyone) realizes there is a problem.

Is the service actually a pirate service? The smoking gun: The town's channel listing is matches one from a pirate IPTV provider - a provider called "Well-known pirate IPTV service". Could "Well-Known" have copied their list from a legit provider? There's no way to tell.

Further down the article, we're offered up other details that seem tangentially related at best. Like how much the town will charge for service and a random mix of demographic stats.

Lastly, the author was shooting for an entertaining presentation - which might be fine if the article was comprehensible. In this context, it's something to filter out in hopes that the article will make some sense.
The space shuttle became obsolete technology after all those years. Would've needed a redesign.
I put a lot of effort into a YC application in 2019 and got a generic form letter rejection. If I had gotten any indication anyone had actually looked at it, I might consider applying again, but as it stands, I probably won't.

It seems to be a quote from https://cedardb.com/blog/german_strings/ which is about this German Strings type (implemented in Polars)

But yeah, it's pretty ignorant to assume Rust can't do this since the best available examples (as with many things) are in Rust. CompactString is really nice. On a typical modern (64-bit) computer CompactString takes 24 bytes and holds up to 24 bytes of UTF-8 text inline, while also having a niche.

I guess the confusion arises because C++ people tend to assume that anywhere Rust differs from the practice in the C++ community it's a mistake, even though that's often because C++ made the wrong choice? Rust's &str is "just" &[u8] plus a rule about the meaning of these bytes, and Rust's String is correspondingly "just" Vec<u8> plus a rule about the meaning of those bytes. C++ couldn't have done the former because it only belatedly got the fat pointer slice reference (as the troubled std::span) years after having a string data type.

Rust didn't do this in the stdlib, but not because it's impossible, because it's a trade off and they wanted the provided stdlib type to be straightforward. If you need or even just want the trade off, you can just cargo add compact_str
Can't speak to that, but I remember spending hours and hours and hours pouring over stock listings after hours.-

I distinctly remember we used a newspaper that I think is still around called IBD "Investors Business Daily", and they had this system that worked really well ("C-A-N-S-L-I-M").-

And I remember pouring over thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of possibilities each day, and basically doing fundamental and technical analysis. I would filter out the candidates with broad technical analysis and then review the fundamentals of each, looking up each company on huge binders - yes, paper - from a subscription service the school had that had all financial and other info for all listed companies.-

And it worked out. At some point, I caught a few big ones that just went ballistic. And it worked out great. One of the things it did is it taught me the value of effort. And I distinctly remember another thing, too. I distinctly remember being called by the organization to let me know I was winning, having won, all but certainly.-

And the day after that, right before the closing of the ranking, running out of trades - because one had a limited amount of trades to perform during the competition. So I could not close a position I had, which had earned me a lot, so I wound up at a loss after having won, which, and I shall never forget this, ended up with my teacher basically saying, "I have seen how much effort you put into this, so I will give you -my account- to handle, so you can continue trading, so you will always remember that hard work and effort pays off in the end".-

In the end I did loose my ranking and with too little time could not catch up, even with the second account.-

So, I lost, but - in a way - I won, because I "won" that lesson ...

And gush bump it, it's a lesson I've never forgotten.-

So thank you, Mr. Brown.-
Nobody liked the bots from pre-Elon Musk either. There were just fewer of them.
Definitely not saying multi-agents is all you need for SWE-bench haha. I touch on this at the end of the blog post, where I mention jumps in progress require better base models or tooling.

> The strongest argument for YC is how few alums speak out against it. Almost all of the negative comments come from people who haven't done the program.

I think YC has merit, but I'm just going to push back on this particular logic:

1. The set of people who've done X is already selected for people who were willing to do X in the first place.

2. In business, burning bridges with an influential network in which you have an in... forfeits some advantage, and probably invites a lot of downside.

(On #2, an occasional person might decide it's a matter of principle, or, less-principled, do the math and decide they can get more individual brand mileage out of saying something provocatively negative. But that seems unlikely and rare. Related dynamics we've seen might help our intuition: how Hollywood almost universally shielded abusers for so long, and how it's very rare for a student wronged by a prestigious alma mater university to go public about it.)

So I think there are stronger arguments for YC.
Yeah, this brought me back to the days of AIM and constantly having a "3" at the end of my messages (and people asking why) because I was pressing the Enter key on the numpad to send my messages (and sometimes accidentally hitting the 3), rather than the Return key which would add a newline into my message! The distinction was actually a good thing, looking back. Can't even guess how many messages I've erroneously sent in recent years when actually trying to jump to a new line in the text I'm drafting...
