That was a summary. If I had to write every single one of those bullet points in full detail it would require hundreds of posts.

Instead of "The responsibility to follow up is also you." you could have asked a question, like "Did you follow up? What happened?", which would have led to more information on the one item that you thought might not have been clear. In other words, your response sounded like it came from thinking "Duh! You are supposed to follow-up!".

The answer to that question would have been:

Yes. Definitely. Multiple times, via email, SMS and LinkedIn message. No response whatsoever. Ghosted.

It is impossible to decode how these people think. Here's an example of an actual conversation (anonymized):

VC 25AUG: Hi Martin, lets set up a follow up call this upcoming week

ME 25AUG: Sounds good. Let me know what works for you. If it’s easier,
just text me on my cell: XXX-XXX-XXXX.

No response.

ME 26AUG: Following-up. Let me know when you might have time for a call.

No response.

ME 28AUG: Checking in. Do you have time to meet this week as up proposed?
I am good any day. Afternoons are best.

No response.

ME 02SEP: I understand you might be busy. Can we try to meet this week?

No response.

ME 09OCT: A bit of time has passed since you suggested we meet.
Do you have time for a quick call this week?

No response.

How do you decode when someone tell you, on Sunday, "let's meet this week" and then you are ghosted? To add context, we met in person many months before this conversation. This was not a case of him not knowing who I am and what I am doing. We met at a conference in Zurich where I put on a 30 minute presentation, with him in the audience just a few feet in front of me.

And, on top of that, I see him posting crap on LinkedIn every day. So, it isn't a case of not having 30 seconds to have the decency to reply with something like "Sorry Martin. We are going to pass on this at the moment. If I learn of someone who might be a good fit for your, I'll be sure to send them your way.". That took me no more than 20 seconds to write. Why don't VC's have the common decency to treat human beings like equals as opposed to insignificant pawns in their game?

BTW, the same problem exists in the job market. Ghosting seems to be the new normal across a whole range of human interactions. I was just talking to a family member this last weekend who took me through her job-hunting journey. The only word that fits is: Unbelievable.

Is this a cultural shift? Maybe I am too old-school. I try to treat people with respect and consideration. What has changed that makes behaviors like ghosting so commonplace? Don't know.

I won't be holding my breath for you to deliver that evidence.
I think your last paragraph sums it up pretty nicely: users need a good UX to get to these tools.

> You forgot about conservation of momentum. Photon cannot change it's direction without interaction with something to exchange momentum.

No. I'm not forgetting anything. Photons _do_ _not_ change direction. They always move in straight lines (from their "point of view"). It's just that if you step a bit away, these straight lines are not actually "straight" globally.

A classic example is a 2D ant crawling on a surface of a sphere. From the ant's point of view, it moves in a straight line, but a 3D observer will see that a straight line is actually a 3D circle.

Conservation laws are not violated. A photon (or another particle) will cause its own slight bending of the space-time, that in turn will slightly bend the star's trajectory.

It does sound like an interaction between gravitational fields, but the models give different numeric predictions.

> "Bending of spacetime" is just computational trick to increase precision of the model.

It really is not.

> Photon is very wide.

Facepalm. Sorry dude, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Lensing and time dilation also happen for point-like particles like electrons.
Not sure a random UA extension is giving you much privacy. Try your results on coveryourtracks eff, and see. A random UA would provide a lot of identifying information despite being randomized.

From experience, a lot of the things people do in hopes of protecting their privacy only makes them far easier to profile.

How are YC startups addressing the myriad of legal and copyright concerns around the AI models that seem to underpin so many of their business models?
> You would rarely find any other nation that where defense tech companies are turned away from job fairs.

To be fair, most countries don't routinely bomb some random folk halfway across the world. So if you work on defense tech there, there is a less immediate connection between what you do and people dying.
Do you have a list of common red flags that engineers should avoid when considering working at a startup?

Somebody's putting "AI expert" on their resume
A person who was maximally distrustful of Google would assume they link your phone and your IP through the connection used to receive push notifications, and the wifi-network-visibility-to-location API, and the software update checker, and the DNS over HTTPS, and suchlike. As a US company, they could even be forced to do this in secret against their will, and lie about it.

Of course as Google doesn't claim they do this, many people would consider it unreasonably fearful/cynical.
The OP is talking about constraining the response not the input. Granted, in many cases, the input may give some kind of indicator that the large language model may be more prone to generating output that could violate the given constraints but this is not guaranteed by any measure.

As far as I know, there's no way of validating a streamed response until those tokens have already been streamed unfortunately. You could try buffering the stream in larger chunks before displaying them on screen in the hopes that you might be able to catch it earlier, but that's not going to be a great user experience either.
> Makes you think will what you build keep the same interface or at least backwards compatibility 50 years from now?

SMTP comes to mind.
The screen tech is a bit too expensive in larger sizes for now, so it'll take a bit until you'll get a large fast color e-ink screen.
"So basically anything you say is speculation?"

No, just that it might not be the complete picture.

Until the original source from the Nullsoft days surfaces, we do not know, and certainly should not make unfounded speculations.
I think a lot of oddities we attribute to cats can be explained by the fact that they are both predator and prey. No other animal we spend a lot of time with occupies such a schizophrenic position in the food chain.
It wouldn't amplify them, there's no energy gain. A gravitational lenses just bends the trajectory of the waves. If you do it right it may be possible to use that to focus the signal on a directional trajectory(as in, the same energy is redirected in a single direction instead of being spread out), if I'm not mistaken.
Sampling a sample can definitely be useful, if the original sample is in an inconvenient format (e.g. inside some hardware). Of course, this business is in a legal gray area, because the recordings inside the machines are copyrighted. But they are resold with some "processing" that could potentially be considered transformative enough. This is niche enough that I doubt it will ever be tried in court.

You can have both!

Cool features that excite users (and that they ultimately end of using), and that get investors excited.

(i.e. Adobe mentioned in the day 1 keynote that Generative Fill, released last year and powered by Adobe Firefly is not one of the top 5 used features in Photoshop).

The features we make, and how we use gen ai is based on a lot of discussions and back and forth with the community (both public and private)

I guess Adobe could make features that look cool, but no one wants to use, but that doesn't seem to really make any sense.

Python approach to the Semantic Web: exploring linked data and RDF
To make content more machine-readable, the Semantic Web adds links between structured data, datasets, and metadata to the existing web. It enables machines to interact with humans and use the internet in a similar way. This notebook demonstrates Python applications and key concepts, such as the use of linked data sources like DBpedia and Wikidata, employing tools like SPARQL and RDF.
GIMP does not fully support non-destructive editing yet.

The overhead view of figure 3 in particular is noteworthy to me. The 3 human subjects are represented as abstract ovals, and the cat drawn as a cat who is staring up as if to look through the fourth ceiling at the reader.

> there is no agreed upon exchange format to form a community around to reuse work packaging application deployments.

Wasn't the OCI Image Format an attempt at this? Obviously it hasn't become THE format but I thought there was effort towards it a while back.
Why?

It's not "force-feeding". You usually get a little popup highlighting the new feature that you close and never see again.

It's not that hard to ignore a new "magic wand" button in the toolbar or something.

I personally hardly use any of the features, but neither do I feel "force-fed" in the slightest. Aside from the introductory popups (which are interesting), they don't get in my way at all.
So it's ok for all of us to become lab rats for these companies?
I still love making and repairing stuff. The pay and physical toil are better behind a keyboard though.
That's outside my area but the key is to engage with corporate/IP counsel at the outset, ideally before the company has been incorporate. One non-immigration issue that comes up all the time is incorporating before the founder has left his or her employer and thus putting the IP at risk.
For me, I still buy games on Steam because my kids want them (I just try hard to find them elsewhere first). Steam just make it hard for me to do that, which is insane when the root of preventing me is a couple of quid they refused to refund when they sold a game they knew was broken.

Of course they don't care about that, it's the £10s across millions of customers that they possibly retain unlawfully that makes it worthwhile.
I agree, that it can be a coping mechanism. You find something that's esoteric enough that you can project your goodwill onto it and use it to justify your weird behaviors.

I also agree that if you're doing good, your work speaks for itself, and does not need to be justified. I think Rockefeller, for example, struggled with this a lot later in life when he tried to pay for the cruelty his career with a later devotion to philanthropy. But I don't think it worked. Gates, Zuckerberg, and Bezos will need to wrestle with this, too, regardless of how much they "donate" to "charity". I don't envy them their positions in life.

The book was "Understanding Media: the Extensions of Man" by McLuhan, Marshall. You can find it pretty regularly on biblio for ~$150.
I love how the recent availability of cheap PPM and CO2 sensors spawned a whole new subculture of air quality paranoia.

Based on Veritasium's recent video, given the cabins are pressurized by bleeding air off of the jet engine might not be too surprising about CO2 or particulates. However the cabin air is also exceptionally dry.

Google and Apple were both part of the PRISM program, of course I'm making this claim.

> What's wrong with trying out 100 different AI features across your product suite, and then seeing which ones "stick"?

For users? Almost everything is wrong with that.

There are no users looking for wild churn in their user interface, no users crossing their fingers that the feature that stuck for them gets pruned because it didn't hit adoption targets overall, no users hoping for popups and nags interrupting their workflow to promote some new garbage that was rushed out and barely considered.

Users want to know what their tool does, learn how to use it, and get back to their own business. They can welcome compelling new features, of course, but they generally want them to be introduced in a coherent way, they want to be able to rely on the feature being there for as long as their own use of those features persists, and they want to be able to step into and explore these new features on their own pace and without disturbance to their practiced workflow.
Evidence-free allegations of "human shields" is not an excuse to repeatedly commit mass murder.

Hi all, please comment here with any questions! We used Electric Clojure to make some of our kanji lessons into multiplayer challenges at Japanese Complete.
Do we need that much storage, though? Presumably we won't have the hydrogen-powered generation capacity to use that much energy quickly, so the comparison to utility-scale batteries isn't quite apples-to-apples.

From the article about the Chevron project:

> The project will initially provide fuel to the Intermountain Power Project, an 840-MW blended gas power plant also under construction in Delta, but Chevron believes there will be opportunities to supply hydrogen to the transportation and industrial sectors as well.

So even if the hydrogen storage facility was full, we're still limited to 840 MW of generation capacity. Sure, we get ~350 hours of runtime, but that's not really needed.

The Bath County Pumped Storage Station has 3003 MW of generation potential, with 11 hours of runtime from full.

Looks like the Moss Landing project is rated to be able to discharge 1/4 of its capacity per hour, so that 3 GWh facility can provide 750 MW. Batteries also have the advantage of being able to be sited much closer to the end user.
Strictly speaking, passwords do not have to be shared during auth, either. There are password-agreement schemes (e.g. SRP [1] as used in TLS-SRP) which allow one or both parties to prove they know the password without sharing it. However, these schemes never gained broad adoption.

Self-defense is supposed to be proportional. If you're killing 30x as many people in "response", and most of them weren't in any way involved in the original attack, that's not justifiable.
I was rooting against you in this exchange until you said this , because I took your initial plea for authority to be a cop out from joshmcginnis's argument, because I'm a human and have biases and sometimes put the quality of "earnestness" behind my beliefs above others' (i.e., whether I agree with them or not, my counterpart is equally sincere in what they believe in as me). That disposition is unwise and I think my realization of this underpins what I found striking about the comment that you just made.

In a way, I think this is what joshmcginnis is guilty of here...but I want to believe that he's aware that he's being provocative, but being provocative is the entire point. Your initial response of deference and the overall response that his comments are receiving from others are decent representations of how the mere questioning of certain institutions (online, pseudonymously, through relatively obscure channels) can be seen as problematic.

It is something like social science as performance art. Or the other way around?
Again, this is outside my scope. That question should be directed to YC directly.

The lisp atom 1729 is like a "constant" in a programming language, representing a particular arrangement of bits in lisp systems. The integer 1729 is a number that, in a mathematical sense, has always existed and will always exist regardless of computer systems.

While some atoms can be assigned values, the atom 1729 cannot be assigned any value other than the number 1729.
Every consumer is a "lab rat" for every company at all times, if that's how you want to think about it.

Each of our decisions to buy or not buy a product, to use or not use a feature, influences the future design of our products.

And thank goodness, because that's the process by which products improve. It's capitalism at work.

Mature technologies don't need as much experimentation because they're mature. But whenever you get new technologies, yes all these new applications battle each other out in the market in a kind of survival-of-the-fittest. If you want to call consumers "lab rats", I guess that's your choice.

But the point is -- yes, it's not only OK -- it's something to be celebrated!
Interesting. This is new library that certainly wasn't present when I last checked Clojure's offerings - the first commit was in March 2023. It still appears a work in progress to me, but I look forward to checking it to see how it compares to pandas/dplyr.

Lots of sites see an empty referrer and send you to their main page or marketing page. Which means you can't get anywhere else on their site without a valid referrer. They consider it a form of "hotlink" protection.

(I'm not saying I agree with it, just that it exists.)

An atom is something defined in the semantics of lisp and a part of the program, it will be represented as bits in the computer memory and as pixels on the screen. A number is a very general concept with many representations, on of which is as a lisp atom, and another could be a pile of 1729 kiwis. The kiwis and the code both represent the number, but they don't represent each other.

Isn't this what AI is all about? Don't kid yourself, most companies, even some big ones, will bankrupt themselves chasing AI and the few remaining will get the spoils.
Yeah, but the lead times on silicon mean we're going to be stuck with Microsoft's decision for while regardless of how hard they commit to it. AMD and Intel probably already have two or three future generations of Copilot+ CPUs in the pipeline.
Mine has as well, but it's pretty useful. It's really just a search engine though, but it's indexed confluence and all other internal sites and i've found it pretty useful for everything.
