> The problem with this line of thinking is that 1) it's all relative anyway, and 2) The notion of "ground" is completely different depending on which perspective you have.

But if all is relative and depends on your PoV that implies that there isn't actually a problem here, right? :-P

I don't think there is anything wrong with "building up the model from first mathematical principles" as you wrote, it just wasn't what i personally had in mind with the "from the ground up" part.

And FWIW i'm not that stuck up on the "vim and C" aspect, i used those as an example that i expected most would understand and leave little room for misinterpretation in what you'd have to work with (i.e. very very little) and have to implement yourself (pretty much everything) - personally i'd consider it from "the ground up" even if it was in C#, D, Java, JavaScript or even Python, as long as the implementation was done in a way that didn't rely on 3rd party libraries so that whatever is implemented in, say, Java could also be implementable in C#, D, JavaScript or Python with just whatever is available out of the box in those languages or even C, if one doesn't mind writing the extra bookkeeping functionality themselves.
Measure is not being used as a literal verb. It's being used as an approximate measure. The same way we measure how much time we spend doing a task without a clock.

Good overview of a modern steel plant in Korea.[1] Useful for seeing how molten steel is handled at scale. Some good views of the refractory bricks inside a cold ladle. It's all about managed heat transfer, getting the heat out of the machinery before damage occurs. Water cooling of everything close to hot metal.

Anybody doing "green" processing of ore at this scale yet?

I missed out on his climate change denialism - if true that seem strange from the head of one of the most successful EV companies and arguably the company that finally got the EV revolution started since all the others were dragging their feet. He further sells solar roofs and off grid power.

I don't think it's undecided at all. Pre Airbnb, rent might be $50/day ($1500/mo) for your place. Airbnb comes along and now you can rent it for $200/day. What do you think that does to home prices in the area?

With how good WLB is for the intelligent in tech, many of them do perform at about that exact amount per year!

Seriously, this is the source of “rest and vest” as a mentality and why some companies, I.e Microsoft, are seen as tech retirement homes. They hire the brilliant lazy.

Yes, there really are a lot of FAANG caliber engineers who don’t work much harder than you described. Yes really.

Each insurance is different, of course, and it depends on the patient. It also varies if you’re type 1 or 2, and if you’re prescribed insulin. I’m not either, so I don’t know for sure. The American healthcare system (which I am part of) is pretty opaque.

That said, I’ve heard people quote an insurance price of about $100/mo for a g7 (which is the same as this), and Medicare should cover it outright. I’ve seen companies sells the G7 for ~$200/mo if you don’t have insurance, but without a prescription I’ve never actually gone and bought one so I don’t know if I’m missing something.
My same first thought.

For no reason other than I have a pair of them sitting on my kitchen table right now, I wondered how the ESP32-CAM setup would compare. I think it's only good for 2megapixel images, But I'd bet both its startup time and its power consumption would be close to an order of magnitude lower. (Here's some details if you're curious: https://components101.com/modules/esp32-cam-camera-module )

Anecdata - We had to buy a car last year to replace our old, but failing car. This matches the experience we had. We were ok with used, so that’s what we ended up with. If you’re on a tight budget, that’s where you’ll end up. From what we read and from what dealers said at the time, car manufacturers hadn’t recovered from COVID supply chain issues. And that is why there were so few small cars. We just accepted that as reality, but parent comment’s explanation would also make sense.
The longer it takes to train someone to do a job, the more skilled it is.
Skills that are low on the prestige scale are unskilled. Skills that pay well automatically rate higher on the prestige scale. Skills that pay poorly are skills that can be easily provided by whoever, which is what "unskilled" means.

I have lots of skills that would be incredibly valuable in an ant context; that doesn't mean they count as "skills" in a human context.
The nerve of this guy.
Solar flux is half gone by the time it gets to the ground (reflection, cloud absorption)

Witness the clause 'at its zenith'. That means, too much atmosphere is in the way the rest of the day to matter.

In space, the sun is always at its zenith, if you look the right direction. Further, you have the opportunity to convert all of it, rather than the 50% that reaches the ground.
> without disclosing the actual birthdate

What prevents the birthdate from being gleaned through a simple binary search? Or, if it's specifically an "over 18 today?" query based on some decentralized timestamp source, what prevents the query from just being repeated every day until the result changes (assuming it returns "under 18" at first)?
So Apple is clearly vetting everybody on Patreon to make sure they're kosher, which is why they get a larger take of the money than Patreon does?

The 30% fee is cromulent when it's stuff that's clearly related to the app store activity. I'm not even that upset about charging a 30% fee on video game microtransactions. But the 30% fee is being charged on purchases made within app for content consumed outside of the app, which really starts to look a lot more like a 30% credit card transaction fee.
Content behind Clickbait headline:

Depression is a "freeze" reaction to stress, effectively shutting down to avoid triggering a dangerous response from the environment.

To me this seems quite a stretch, and maybe some conflation with "learned helplessness".

In my experience, depression is an irrational fear reaction. When something good happens, the brain suddenly thinks "this is not good, failed, it's worthless, a waste of effort" or "this was a mistake; this is going to end in disaster for me, I shouldn't have done this." It's not adaptive just because it's occasionally a correct prediction by chance.

A more common adaptive reaction to adversity is carefulness/stress: heightened awareness of the world and intense effort to choose safe decisions, and to fantasize ways to escape.
The more skilled a person is, the fewer such persons there are. The fewer there are, the more compensation they can demand.

You might have trouble finding opportunities to do this full-time anywhere, but if you could manage the documentation and knowledge base (especially if they're training AI bots internally and to support customers from it) for 3-4 client companies, you might be able to make that work.

Good technical writing is especially important now. I guess you can try to train bots on the codebase itself, but unless that's pretty well documented, I wouldn't expect as much from that as training them on good technical documentation.
Coming from a regulated industry that have well established rules about AI/ML in Production. In my opinion both of these model changes and prompt changes are governance issues that should be handled by your friendly CI/CD or Risk Management team(s).
The point here is that the antitrust concerns are a natural consequences of them doing their job properly; with Apple becoming a bigger company - which is what is expected of them - it is quite natural that Apple will attract more scrutiny regarding their practices as a dominant player.

Their high level decisions and strategy created a desirable situation: Apple is bigger than ever. That situation has undesirable side effects, but overall the tradeoff is worth it.

It's what we call "rich people problem"; those are real problems - that need to be handled - but they are problems that "you wish to have" because it also means you solved a ton of other - more pressing - issues. And people don't usually look for "blame" in these situations.
Read more. Atmosphere and night tank ground-based solar by maybe 80% of what's possible. And, sand is a terrible thing to operate any efficient optics around. No, the desert is a fairly bad choice. Sure, it's kinda bright there, part of the day. That's about the only thing on the plus side.
Yeah it's gone under the radar pretty much, but going from an early 80s car in the 2010s to a new car, it was like I was driving blind for half the time but reversing cameras are great (too bad they also cause problems where we can't really see everything).

Driving in older cars is way easier apart from power steering. The rest are luxuries like air con, entertainment. Even cabin space in older cars was vastly larger than new cars and the exteriors of new cars are vastly larger now than before.. thanks (but no thanks) to safety measures.

Inductive or deductive? Rethinking the fundamental reasoning abilities of LLMs
Ideally they would support SSO, but at a minimum any service that wants business customers will have accounts in some form. If they don't even have that then I would seriously second guess using them for anything in production. They're clearly not designed for businesses and can't be relied upon to not screw you up in serious ways.
I'm amused by the simple study that put a fraction of primary students into a gifted reading group. Gave them extra attention and feedback. After a year, that group had all advanced more than a year's reading skill.

The group was actually chosen totally at random.
In 10 years LLMs will be so good that NewStream will hardly need any staff.

But only the good and inoffensive parts of cultural diversity, right? Not the parts that involve misogyny or patriarchy or homophobia or beheading apostates? When people advocate against globalization and for cultural diversity they're usually only in favor of the most shallow aspects: food, clothes, entertainment, architecture, etc. Not the stuff that actually matters for safety and quality of life in other countries.

And to be clear I'm not advocating for forcibly imposing our cultural values on those other countries. But let's not have an overly romanticized view of cultural diversity.
Zlmediakit – media streaming that has it all
Exactly. The medical profession is based on a ubiquitous form of elitism protected by knowledge hoarding (expensive journals and inaccessible language) and approvals (regulatory, appointments, and prescriptions) for routine, on-going condition maintenance. While there are laudable ostensible and obvious reasons for having clinicians periodically overseeing aspects, you don't need a clinician for a paper cut or every single purchase of lifelong maintenance supplies and equipment necessary or optional.

I guess the thing is that in countries where there is universal healthcare, gating is necessary to contain costs for patients who don't have a medical need. In countries without universal healthcare, the downside of prescription->OTC is shifting costs onto the patients where insurance may not cover them.
In finding it very difficult to see what exactly is the problem with teaching a minimum of computer and operating system fundamentals to people that have to learn programming.

No, your math is cockeyed and the parent is much closer.

those are all great reasons and I agree with them all.

Just to add one more data point, myself, I've never looked at switching jobs based on pay. I pretty much always just took the job that was offered. I'd eventually quit for random reasons (upset with the boss 3 times, company down sized twice, left to do my own thing twice, other...).

I never sat there at work thinking "hmmm, I wonder if there is a higher paying job somewhere".

That might be me just being stupid but since I can't see into the minds of anyone else I kind of assume it's same for lots of people.
What the VC’s want is to say, “Good idea, kid. The grown-ups’ll take it from here.” But not this time. This is our time. This time you’re gonna hand ‘em a business card that says “I’m CEO...bitch”
If you hold everything equal, then changes in supply work that way. But everything else is very far from equal across different types of job, enough to make supply-based calculations basically useless.
And when you set up 1Password, make sure you also get the CLI going, so passwords & shared gunk that's needed to access other people's services can be scripted, and when the passwords, etc get rotated no-one needs to know because no-one needs to store them.
AFAIK inflation is one of the reasons.

If an asset was worth $50k in 1950, and is now worth $100k, it would feel really weird when capital gains tax is collected on an asset that actually lost more than 80% of it's value over the years.

That would be better than the alternative which would be to only discuss real ones and see which suffer higher losses. You would have to A/B balance out because it would soon become apparent which "side" was under test otherwise.
> It implies you understand your customers business better than they do.

The quote does say "I" so there is an inherent assumption there. The problem with taking any quote and "best practice" at face value that can be applied anywhere is always incorrect.

> There's a few Steve Jobs quotes which have tanked the tech industry.

So hence it's like the hype trains an social media driven development. People need to think. Don't blame Jobs for it.
Acute low blood glucose (<10 mg/dL) is much, much worse. Acute high blood glucose (say 500 mg/dL) is really miserable and takes variable days to years to be fatal. There is an LD50 for glucose but it's difficult to reach without other problems.
It could also be survivorship bias. It's easy for a successful founder to say he or she felt it but couldn't describe it, but maybe it was just luck.

I don't know -- I've never worked at a strongly founder-driven company. I'm just trying to figure out what the essay means.
Aug 31 extremely hard. Aug 30 comically easy.
Yes, you are right. The article discusses scaling. I got fixated on the concept of "founder mode" because the article invites a discussion about its meaning. My example involving Steve Jobs doesn’t apply to scaling, but without moving forward from the company's initial stages, there isn't anything to scale. I think initial networking also plays a vital role in decision-making during growth. For example, Steve Jobs' contacts with Xerox Parc greatly influenced the creation of Apple's Lisa, and Mac.

So, a book on "founder mode" could include multiple chapters on leveraging your network to scale your company.
Ditto this. We use this in our ~100 company and it works great. Plus, it can hold more than just IT/Tech passwords. Everyone in the company uses it constantly and only has access to what they need.

> Skills that pay well automatically rate higher on the prestige scale.

This is pretty true. Though manual labor usually has less prestige at equal pay.

This is much less true. There are plenty of skills that require a master's degree level of learning but also pay poorly.
It's not because of that, it's primarily because the military won't give up the frequencies used for 5G elsewhere.
It is unlucky to correlate with the start of the horrible fentanyl epidemic and a huge increase in unhoused. Correlation isn’t causation, but given the huge cost of fent treatment and the low success rates of such treatment, the other side of decriminalization is unlikely to see much implementation.
The image is a Hilbert curve map of the IPv4 address space, with each pixel (block when zoomed in) representing an IP address. See https://xkcd.com/195/

The colour of pixel represents the domain name. The R,G and B components are resolved based on the TLD - so my.company.com and bob.company.com have the same G and B components but a different shade of red.

For example, the light purple of the 52.x.y.z block all resolve to AWS Compute domains.
On the left middle of the image much of the 34.x.y.z block resolve to googleusercontent.

My last company settled on LastPass before they gave away all your passwords.
Sorry but am I the only one who got absolutely nothing from this.

Firstly, I’ve never read more generalizations or stereotypes in a PG post. So manager mode is when a person sits at the top of a company, speaks to X direct reports and cares nothing about how they do their job. I’ve never seen anyone successfully manage like this. A skillful manager knows when to dig into ridiculously minute details and when not to.

Secondly, this post says Founders can do some things managers cannot and then listed no examples of what a non-founding leader or manager cannot do. I would think this could be true but mostly based on influence/respect/gravitas.

Thirdly, so when someone tells me to hire good people, why does that result in hiring professional fakers? What? So founders hire professionals and managers hire professional fakers?

Seriously, this post makes no sense and sounds like it’s written by someone who has no idea what a non-founding human does in their job. I think we can all agree that there are good founders and bad founders. In fact, there are many many more bad founders than good, given that most founders don’t get very far - hence the existence of incubators which operate to buy a ton of out of the money options because most will fail. There are also good managers and bad managers. So, have we learned anything here?

Hire good people, let them do their job, trust but verify, override their approach when necessary, dig into details when you need to.
That is the answer.

SSO, then password manager.

I'd strongly recommend bitwarden, having deployed and managed it. I would warn against lastpass, strongly, due to papercut level issues everywhere. I haven't used 1password in an appropriate scenario to comment on it.

two second search -- "Statistics is considered a mathematical science that is distinct from mathematics, though it does use mathematical methods:"

"statistics arguably is not a branch of mathematics. It is a mathematical science, built upon the mathematical discipline of probability. Some ways in which mathematics and Statistics differ include: Statistics often does not produce definitive conclusions whereas mathematics usually does."
Hmm that is the opposite what I would have expected. Because there is so much variation an AI that has trained on an insane breadth of data should easily be able to outcompete a human on specialized tasks.
