> the correct full forms of (…) Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi isn’t like the others on your list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Etymology_and_terminolog...

> The name Wi-Fi, commercially used at least as early as August 1999, was coined by the brand-consulting firm Interbrand. The Wi-Fi Alliance had hired Interbrand to create a name that was "a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'." According to Phil Belanger, a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, the term Wi-Fi was chosen from a list of ten names that Interbrand proposed. (…)

> The name Wi-Fi is not short-form for 'Wireless Fidelity' (…) The name Wi-Fi was partly chosen because it sounds similar to Hi-Fi, which consumers take to mean high fidelity or high quality. Interbrand hoped consumers would find the name catchy, and that they would assume this wireless protocol has high fidelity because of its name.
Average work hours for CEO (according to the article): 62.5/week. I’m guessing that’s also true of those who are trying to become CEO.

Personally, I’d rather not spend almost all my waking hours at work, most of my life.
But even PG goes back on that by saying "Obviously founders can't keep running a 2000 person company the way they ran it when it had 20. There's going to have to be some amount of delegation." So what he is saying is managers should talk to their reports.
He writes like this is some groundbreaking realization, but to me I'm not even sure what he's getting at. For example he pushes back against the idea of hiring and letting them do work, but then says don't micromanage them, so which is it?

This is a very good point, survivor biais in all its glory.

I would be interested to see which fields have the most retracted papers, broken by impact index. I am not sure the conclusion to draw from there (most honest vs least competent vs most reproductible vs most scrutinized etc.)
We go quite a bit further than keeping out hate speech. For example, we have a policy of "good vibes" in the chat so we don't permit bashing other languages and will publicly ask folks to take it elsewhere if they start.

It's been a few years of using these policies and it's going great! The community and discord server have been consistently praised as one of the highlights of Gleam.

The main drawback is that we tend to attract a lot of criticism from right-wing social media posters as a result, bizarrely including one brief smear campaign from one of the founders of Trump's Truth Social.
"Security" as provided by the Pentagon/MIL complex is an evolution of what the Brits used to do to maintain order across the Empire. After the Empire fell, the Americans basically cut and paste that policy, where the goal is mainly about protecting the flows of capital and trade. Colonial legacy and thinking needs a total reboot. Will die out naturally as boomers trained in that kind of thinking pre-globalization die out.
Are you implying that PyTorch is proprietary?

You can't criticize Israel or you will get punished by government in US. Where is your freedom of speech in this case?

"The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to revive a newspaper's challenge on free speech grounds to an Arkansas law requiring state government contractors to pledge not to boycott Israel, a policy the publication's lawyers called a threat to a constitutionally protected form of collective protest."

Is prompt engineering really 'psychology'. Convincing the AI to do what you want. Just like you might 'prompt' a human to do something.

> Not many people will want a $100K self driving car instead of a $30k Camry

What you said is true, but does not reflect reality.

Today The Model 3 is ~$40k, and once self driving is "solved", there is no reason a ~$40k car won't be capable of it.
> Why should they ignore their own self-interest in favor of your company's long-term success?

I wasn't expecting them to do something bad for themselves, merely to simply do what I was explicitly asking and paying them for (and we paid above-market salaries). Too often communication was conveniently misinterpreted in obvious bad faith to justify them using some expensive AWS feature, or simply ignore the core message in the request. This was hidden for a lot longer than it should have been since Covid forced us to go remote all of a sudden and people would vouch for one another.

Honestly, I think now that there simply isn't a way to align most employees with you, and that the secret to successful start-ups is only going for the easy to execute things, that don't rely on the qualities of your employees (or you have 100mil raised and your problem is naturally a good challenge for them).

That's a shame. Having a "project" is what kicks off learning the cool bits about computers. If you can't do it with the devices we're giving kids, we are robbing our future inventors.
In chemistry only very simple stuff works the first time you try it. Even skilled chemists usually fail to replicate research papers, especially in organic chemistry. It's very frustrating. Lots of work, lots of cleaning up.

Pretty much all the chemistry you see on youtube can be considered simple. Even the cubane synthesis, which Extractions&Fire epically failed at, was undergrad stuff at my university. Chemiolis nailed it, I think.

Other great chemistry channels that come to my mind are Chemical Force (breathtaking slowmo videos), Thy Labs, Thoisoi, Prussian Blue, Chemdelic, not exhaustive.

So what you're saying is the West wanted (and funded and armed) tough governments that kept a lid on things as opposed to "modern governments built around such ideals as individual rights, rule of law, checks and balances, multiple political parties, free speech, independent court systems, a secular state".

People can be on your side or not, but at least you are rooted in the real world and actual history.
Nokia hasn’t been the “most respected phone brand” in at least a decade… and I’m sure it costs them money to license it. They’re slowly letting go.
There are surprisingly few reviews of any nxtpaper devices outdoors. Chalid Raqami did a comparison with two generations of eink displays, stating that the nxtpaper 10s appears hard to read and washed out outdoors but the accompanying video clip hardly demonstrates that.
I'm from a dysfunctional third-world country, too (Nigeria), and I agree with the GP. Our population lacks the ability to cooperate for the greater good. Politics here is insanely tribal and corrupt. We're heading for the tatters, except something miraculous happens.

If you've never lived in a poor, corrupt, dysfunctional place, you'll not understand how bad life is that'll make someone wish to be occupied.
My favourite feature of this video is that he uses the "Network Block Device Kit" to make a kit of 3 drives, each using one of those words as the main point:

My hunch from having a similar disease that caused brain fog, and having read some of the literature as a layman, is that tiny capillaries are clotting in the brain. Or the lungs. Or wherever your viral load was heaviest maybe? It seems to last up to a year, meaning worsening or new symptoms could manifest. I would hope the plasticity of your brain minimizes that.

That symptom, from a different disease, only caused a serious problem after persisting for over a decade. Count on it going away, if you work, and rest, your brain. - Crosses fingers

Even if that individual moved into the village knowing perfectly well that this is the rule in this village?

It is not unreasonable to me that you have to pitch in for common goods if you live in a village, and should you refuse to take part in this you might find yourself in a situation where you have to either move out of the village or forfeit your share.
You're right: you said "statistically we never had any luck trying, or by an exhaustive search of all possible perpetual motion machines." as an antithesis.

I took "reasoned to be false" as sort of a weak and refutable statement.
I know several people working as software developers, myself included, who have a liberal arts education/background.

The small article aptly points out the unique ‘perk’ (or in their eyes necessary for conducting CEO business) use of the Starbucks jet for commuting by jet. However it tries to paint a comparison to Starbuck’s environmental initiative that speaks to giving back more than it takes in terms of agriculture. This seems like a false comparison. Two have nothing to do with each other.

The reason is because he wants to live in his home in Newport Beach, California vs moving to Seattle.

Quoted text from SEC notification:

“ During your employment with the Company, you will not be required to relocate to the Company’s headquarters (currently in Seattle, Washington). You agree to commute from your residence to the Company’s headquarters (and engage in other business travel) as is required to perform your duties and responsibilities.

From the Start Date until such time as you secure permanent secondary housing arrangements in Seattle, Washington (up to three months following the Start Date), the Company will pay directly, or reimburse you for, the costs of your reasonable temporary housing arrangements in Seattle, Washington and a driver to transport you as necessary while you are in Seattle, Washington.

If you decide to relocate to the Seattle, Washington area, you will be eligible for reimbursement for qualified relocation expenses to Seattle, Washington, pursuant to the Company’s relocation policy.
Remote Office: Promptly following the Start Date, the Company will establish, with your assistance, a small remote office in Newport Beach, California. The Company will employ an assistant of your choosing for such office, subject to the reasonable consent of the Company. This office location will be maintained at the expense of the Company.”

CTRL+F for jet comes up empty. It does say they will provide a driver. So maybe it’s implied he will use the jet.

Turbo Pascal was my first "real" language. Not CP/M, but Macintosh, ha ha.

I was recently able to recover some games I wrote in the late 80's, early 90's and to get some of them to function correctly I had to re-learn Pascal. That too was a rabbit hole.
>It's a business continuity plan, not some altruistic gesture.

Yeah, the big concern for Starlink and Musk is maintaining non-paying customers.

Egypt elected the Muslim Brotherhood into power. There's nothing about the Muslim Brotherhood pertaining to "modern governments built around such ideals as individual rights, rule of law, checks and balances, multiple political parties, free speech, independent court systems, a secular state".

Better to deal with a secular dictator than an elected religious extremist. Elected Islamists always crap on democracy once they're elected.

There is nothing linux-specific in this list, you describe learning UNIX and could do it on any *BSD, including macOS. I would agree that knowing you way around unix is very helpful, having some specific linux knowledge is worth very little if your job does not consist of managing linux machines. And even then you will require a lot of distro-specific knowledge.

Are you sure the author is expressing a negative opinion here?

Consider his audience. He's explaining all this to people who would have similar preconceived notions about coding.
The "balls on a rubber sheet" is a pain because nothing is in free-fall: there are dissipative contact forces between the balls and the rubber sheet. Consequently realistic initial [position, velocity] values for the test ball cannot give you a stable circular orbit around the central mass ball. Venus isn't about to fall into the sun. Now try setting up Earth-Moon or the Jovian-Gallilean systems on the rubber sheet.

It's fun to try to peel away defects in the "ball on a rubber sheet" in an effort to arrive at Newtonian limit equations of motion for balls in placed around it. (First advanced question: how do we adapt Einstein-Hilbert to reflect trapping onto the sheet? Does dimensional reduction work?) What sort of membrane in constant acceleration could generate scaled 2+1 timelike geodesics for model solar system objects placed on it? Can one scale this to a model of the solar system with all orbits flattened onto the membrane? For instance, what do the IVs look like for a ~ 1050:1 mass ratio between a model sun and a model Jupiter that is shrunk down to classroom size and retains a good match to Jupiter's real orbital parameters (or if you prefer, lengths and angles) across many orbits? Without destroying this scale model orbit, can we add the inner solar system? Can we get sensible orbits of scale model Galilean moons?

(And of course all of the above has completely neglected the rotations of these bodies about their axes, which is clearly always very wrong with a typical in-classroom rubber sheet + balls demonstration. We can blame friction for that.)

I'm not sure what you're representing on silly putty: are the drawn lines solutions to geodesic equations? What would the twists-pulls of the putty in a scale model ~kg:g Sun and Jupiter system look like? Or are you thinking about a relativistic regime somewhere in the right half of this diagram : <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Newtonian_expansion#/medi...> ?

It's not just the far right that's uncomfortable with this kind of policy and rhetoric—I'm glad that the relatively small subset of the population that you're interested in supporting has enjoyed the environment you've created, but know that you're severely limiting the growth of your community and excluding people who could really contribute.

There are a lot of people from every part of political manifold that are uncomfortable with the growing tendency towards sheltering oneself and others from all emotional discomfort, and those people aren't interested in participating in a community where everything has to have "good vibes".

For myself, I love the quote in dang's profile:

> "Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups. It follows that the aim of healthy living is not the direct elimination of conflict, which is possible only by forcible suppression of one or other of its antagonistic components, but the toleration of it—the capacity to bear the tensions of doubt and of unsatisfied need and the willingness to hold judgement in suspense until finer and finer solutions can be discovered which integrate more and more the claims of both sides. It is the psychologist's job to make possible the acceptance of such an idea so that the richness of the varieties of experience, whether within the unit of the single personality or in the wider unit of the group, can come to expression."

— Marion Milner, 'The Toleration of Conflict', Occupational Psychology, 17, 1, January 1943
They’re not “real” computer devices but other things with charge ports. One is an air duster, for example.

It's because then you could have name collisions between variables and modules. E.g. it's ambigious whether io.Error is in a module called io, or a field of a variable called io. Which means you can no longer use fully qualified names regardless of context.

Totally different circumstance because the population pyramid even after black death looked great. Tons of incoming young people every generation. In fact it improved the pyramid! The black plague disproportionately killed old people.

This is going to end up in a top heavy pyramid with a ton of old people relying on fewer and fewer young people. Simply because fewer and fewer are being born every year.
