The "something" that they see is that they have a 1% chance of success. YC is an investment strategy. They noticed that equity which is 99% sure to be worthless is heavily under priced and bought a ton of it. That bet paid off handsomely.

If your batchmates are seeing embarrassment from who else is at the top of such a funnel I don't think much of their judgment. Investors provide capital, not prestige.
Surely healthcare requires many ants who want to be compensated.

For this reason I think the idea that healthcare should not be contingent on profit seeking individuals to be a pretty hollow statement.

It also seems that we have a shortage of Rockefellers to bankroll the US healthcare system as active charity with no profit motive.

That seems inconsistent to claim that people will do the work and donate money without returns in the face of reality where very few people do that.

The response seems to be that people in our current system are forced to seek compensation to survive. This seems easily testable. Cut back doctor and healthcare workers salaries to a subsistence income or even the median and you will quickly see if people flock to the profession or leave it
It's a win for American industry, same as a politician would say when a new factory opens or something. I don't know a less offensive way to put it.

He didn't remotely say the combative stuff I would say, that it is partially a zero-sum game where we should stay ahead of the curve.
There would need to be significant capabilities that openai doesn't have or wouldn't be built on a short-ish timeline to have the enterprise switch. There's tons of bureaucratic work going on behind the scenes to approve a new vendor.

I've listened to a bunch of the snippets and you can usually just barely hear the sound in the background. Which makes me think Shazam is very accurate. I really should read more about how Shazam's algorithm works, because it feels like magic.

The phone records 10 minute chunks of audio at a time, in airplane mode. Every 10 minutes, airplane mode is turned off and the audio is uploaded to a server. The server then splits the audio into 15 second overlapping chunks, and each is passed to Shazam's API (no official API, but someone reverse engineered it and made a great Python package). This setup is super power efficient! The phone dips down to a minimum 70% percent battery by the early morning.
Thanks, really appreciate it.
> I have never felt "pure pleasure" during a run.

I've often have pure pleasure while running through nature if you count that. I've done a few long distance trail events over the years, and it seems rather good for my mental health.

I've only done the pure joy of running thing, the so called runners high, once or twice. That was while doing fast⁰ road¹ running before I discovered the joy of a slower long plod in the green stuff, and it literally feels like being a little drugged up. The physical joy of exercise usually comes from neuroactive chemicals that the brain kicks out as natural painkillers², when you finish these take a while to filter out of your system but no longer have effect of hard work to counteract, so you feel really good in that cool-down period. Sometimes though their levels end up a little higher than they need to be for your current efforts while still running, when that happens it feels like you are running on clouds and that you could keep going for days, if you notice that happening you can sometimes draw it out by careful management of your level of effort (but obviously your judgement in that regard is a bit off at the time so that is easier said than done).

I couldn't agree more with you. I've got a brother who's been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He's in denial and it's a constant worry that he will stop taking his meds again. It's a brutal, life-destroying illness if it's not managed. His lows are truly soul-destroying to witness.

One of the problems with stop words is that they vary between languages. "The" is a good candidate in English, but in Danish it just means "tea", which should be a valid search term. And even in English, what looks like a serious stop word, can be an integral part of the phrase. "How to use The in English".

It seems like this is a new architecture, alongside Mamba, Hyena, RWKV and Hybrid Transformer.
Indeed two 4090s provide more CUDA/RT/Tensor cores, but the A6000 gives you 48GB of RAM which can end up making the card faster at certain tasks that would require swapping out data to system RAM on a 24GB card.
Secushare: A decentralized, secure social network over GNUnet
Well said. Things change
I believe both Gnome and KDE have native "share my desktop" options (if you have the right packages installed) that will in theory work out of the box even on Wayland. It does not work properly when you're running games (games are just black screens). The nice thing about this is that you can use the local machine to use/continue your session once you're physically present. It also uses your native graphics drivers so your desktop has all the X11, GL and Vulkan extensions available for whatever graphics card is attached to the machine.

TigerVNC is decent and I have used it in the past for cases where there is never a need to have a local session. It has the disadvantage of no native 3D rendering.

Intel AMT (that is not available in every processor, and a lot of people want to see dead) has a remote VNC thing that you can enable and allow you to even browse your BIOS and Grub with it: it covers more cases than any alternative, but it's not a software solution. It's the one I prefer when available.

Note that Aix is a UNIX that shares the Windows dynamic libraries model.

ELF like libraries are supported, but not the way most things are expected to work, with XCOFF and export description files.

Symbian was another OS with similar model, but it wasn't a UNIX anyway, and PIPS was a compatible layer on top.

I don't think you're logic follows that we need a lot of people suffering to get a few people to be excellent. If people with a true and deep passion follow a thing I think they have a significant chance of becoming excellent at it. These are people who are more likely to try again if they fail, these are people who are more likely to invest above average levels of resources into acquiring the skill, these are people who are willing to try hard and self-educate, such people don't follow a long tail distribution for failure.

If someone wants to click generate on a podcast button or image generator it seems unlikely to me that was a person who would have been sufficiently motivated to make an excellent podcast or image. On the flip side, consider if the person who wants to click the podcast or image button wants to go on to do script writing, game development, Structural Engineering, anything else but they need a podcast or image. Having such a button frees up their time.

Of course this is all just rhetorical and occasionally someone is pressed into a field where they excel and become a field leader. I would argue that is far less common than someone succeeding and I think they want to do, but I can't present evidence that's very strong for this.
Yeah quite opinionated! I don't have an example project at the moment, but here's a youtube video from loco.rs that someone might find interesting: https://loco.rs/casts/007-htmx/
Some of it being the blood of Tippu Sultan, who died fighting against the British to protect the independence of Mysore (and whose rocket technology the British stole and led to the verse in "The Star-Spangled Banner" about "the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air"). If anyone had any reason not to assist the British Empire, it was her.
It involves a massive increase in housing prices, primarily brought about by artificial supply restrictions, that results in unintentional displacement. The reason the Mission is still variegated is rent control, along with various forms of affordable housing, housesharing, master tenant slumlords, SROs, extended family arrangements, etc. It's a pretty unique and amazing place really.

> … yield a big company …

I assume that this sort of says it all.

Everyone wants “big.”

The article talks about brand curation, really.

That seems to be a lost art, these days. I worked for a corporation that had one of the most powerful brands in the world (but has taken some real hits). I watched them dilute that brand, and make lots of money, but really get clobbered. They are now regrouping, and, I hope, re-establishing their original luster.

They were able to take a fairly small corporation, and compete with mega companies, on the strength of their brand. When they grew rather explosively, in the 1990s, they sowed the seeds of their own demise, in the mid-2010s.
>Your parents never worked, and you're surrounded by people who don't even "work"

I'm not sure that's a guaranteed future. Even today we offer subsistence living with welfare and food stamps, and nobody ever brags about not working because they're on the dole. Even if UBI is better than the current welfare system, it's not likely to be enough to support a middle class lifestyle. People will still work because they want to get ahead in life.
Thank you, it's always interesting to hear physicists talk about this stuff :-)
So it's a case of 'Take it from me, I'm an expert and it's nonsense' is it? Presumably no one needs to read any further on this topic. A relief to many no doubt.
Well, reliability does not just means "there is no neighbor who cut my aerial lines", means also normal performances with congestion, high RTT etc. While many jobs does not need special performance we still have many VoIP annoyances here and there, dropped frames from a video call, bad audio sometimes, the impromptu need to transfer a big amount of data as a normal thing like "ok, look, just download this 1Tb archive" etc.

Noise cancellation is remarkable these days but you can't work for a whole day with some headphones on you NORMALLY, it might happen, I think almost anyone here have experienced that but a day it's a thing, every day it's another. I've felt the pain of some colleagues with their laptop while they have rejected the idea of a proper desktop setup stating how nice it is being with a tiny laptop in the garden etc, yes it might be some days, but not every day. Every day we need comfy chairs, standing desk, a good keyboard a good monitor etc.

Many push against remote working are for real estate business and a certain economic model reasons, many others are for mere reactionary ideas, but some of them have good points about "way too many remote workers are not engaged, have little attention, are hard to find" etc and those in most cases are people with such "mobile setups" as their normal way of work.

Looking at 3B, the performance is roughly on par with phi 3.5.. not sure where how they gauge on their graph that it is better. Agreed though, I don't think I would switch my 3B model from phi unless Liquid was more transparent in data and research.

I'm not sure how they do it but the answer quality and the UI is meaningfully better than all the other "chat with your docs"-type products I've tried.

In other words the promised outcome isn't very original but they've nailed the execution.
People who already know what a monad is probably think this is a great example. I still have no clue.
If you were asking, "Can I use an API to access data in my sheets from other apps/services?" - no, not today, but we'll add that at some point in the future.

Yes, you can do that today in Quadratic with Fetch() in JS or Requests in Python.

Have you tried ChatGPT? Just give it the ingredients you have, and it will synthesize a tasty recipe for you, without having to deal with all that online garbage. My family makes its motor oil stir fry all the time, and we love it! Just be careful not to add too much bleach!
My Haskell is rusty—what does this line do?

Does `*` create a tuple type?

Do lowercase `option` and `list` somehow specify `Option` and `List` types?

This is just not true.
Has anyone gone from absolutely hating cooking to enjoying it? I just don't enjoy the process of it. I've done cooking classes, blue apron sort of stuff, etc. I love eating good home cooked food but I've had partners who loved baking or cooking.

My pet theory is my ADHD turns what some people see as a therapeutic maybe meditative (as I've had someone put it) alone time in the kitchen to me hating standing still, waiting on things, etc.

But maybe I just haven't found something I enjoy cooking to get on that wavelength yet. Lately I've been digging up my favorite restaurant foods and trying to replicate them but I always lose out on some of the sauces that seem like a pain to make.

The monad is the primitive/function that represents (VALUE or NULL), or in this case (CHICKEN or BEEF or ...). In this example, the ingredients and the burrito itself are also monads.

If you type-check your Python/JS/Ruby code, monads are a functional-style solution to get rid of that code (functional programmers don't like type-checking).

That's my simplest explanation at least!
I don't doubt that an executive requires a certain temperament that lots of people don't have and that the people who become executives are generally intelligent and capable. What I'm saying is that it is not a "trade" or "profession" that has specific teachable skills, knowledge bases and responsibilities like "engineer" or "lawyer" or "plumber"
Have you ever seen a show where the aliens come down and they go, "We know all about your culture! We've been watching your television shows since the 50s!" and then they act really bizarrely because they have no idea what real life is like?

Arguably this kind of viewpoint can be particuarly interesting to this group. People are well placed to see some of the more worrying aspects of technology.
"But some AI company probably still has that private data, and if so, presumably will go on to leak it various ways."

Both OpenAI and Anthropic don't train on data sent to them via their API. If they leak that private data it was from a security breach, not because they piped it into their training run.

(Cue a dozen comments saying "if you believe them about that you're naive", to which I have no useful response.)

The argument in the paper (that AGI through ML is intractable because the perfect-vs-chance problem is intractable) sounds similar to the uncomputability of Solomonoff induction (and AIXI, and the no free lunch theorem). Nobody thinks AGI is equivalent to Solomonoff induction. This paper is silly.
It's not a good look to piggyback off competitors' launches like this. Let them have their moment.
I've been doing this, but on my personal blog ( https://www.bbkane.com/recipes/ ). I'm really glad I got to get some of these from my grandma before she passed, and it's been a huge hit to just send a link when someone wants a recipe.
While rare events, it would be lovely if this also included notes on how to deal with "more than two balls" simultaneous contact cases.
I assume that

let tortilla = returnBurrito (Some Veggie, [])

is a typo and it should be

I'm working on a new product, Datagram, which makes it easy for developers to share metrics using an API and mobile app.

I've found that it's difficult to distribute metrics inside an organization. Today, most teams rely on systems like PowerBI / Tableau which are great for deep analysis, but can be too complex for sharing headline data to a large audience. Or, even more challenging, data can be locked in spreadsheets that are difficult to access when all you want to know is a few simple metrics like revenue or customer growth.

With Datagram, developers can quickly create data dashboards, update them via API, and push updates to the whole team on mobile using notifications.

Has anyone experienced similar challenges and does this sound interesting? It would be great to hear any feedback as we're early stage and want to make sure we're building something people want!

A missing n?
Syrio literally says that knight's swordsmanship is "hacking and hammering":

“Just so. Now we will begin the dance. Remember, child, this is not the
iron dance of Westeros we are learning, the knight’s dance, hacking and
hammering, no. This is the bravo’s dance, the water dance, swift and
sudden. All men are made of water, do you know this? When you pierce
them, the water leaks out and they die.” He took a step backward, raised his
own wooden blade. “Now you will try to strike me.”

Which is a direct reference to the myth of heavy and unweildy longsword.

Whether George Martin himself believes the myth or merely made Syrio misinformed, is anybody's guess.

Also, no, knight in full plate with a longsword is not certainly much less agile than someone with a rapier and no armor. He will be somewhat less agile... if the level of training is equal... but neither longsword nor armor are so heavy that they will significantly limit agility.

Main issue with full suit of plate is actually overheating and tiring out sooner due to added weight and insulation (and possibly restricted breathing depending on the helmet).
As far as I can tell, by boosting each recording and listening to the purported song in full, I can eventually hear just a snippet of that song. Shazam's algorithm is extremely good.
The problem is that the number one job of every politician is getting elected. Politicians have discovered that by refusing to rock the vote and shaking some hands they can consistently win as incumbents. That means that there is little incentive for them to actually pass laws. Combine that with the filibuster which is an easy excuse for why they never pass laws and we arrive at the current situation where no matter who you elect they cant pass any laws.

I agree both got it right, in the sense that it wouldn't be a stupid thing for a human to do. If there's a follow-up from someone, I'm sure the more basic llm would have been able to adjust.

Regardless I think it's good showing that models are increasingly able to solve these "gotcha" questions, even though I think it's not hugely useful. Partly because I think it's a poor compliant and an easy shutdown.
