Yup that's a good start! It proves that a company other than apple can do something fanless. Probably they're plastic-y, but they are thin, light, and fanless. Power efficiency and performance are likely not good, but, at least google doesn't deliberately obfuscate their hardware like Apple does. Instead, they just let everything that's not ChromeOS fester, since they're trying to make money. But anyone who wants to start a business selling Alpine on Chromebooks can ;)

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Dave and I’m here to participate in (and perfect) the art of technical writing.

You see, I have vast experience in technical writing, technical support, and sales – from hungry startups looking to change the game to companies as big and established as Apple looking to endlessly craft perfection.

I want to join your team’s technical writing and editing team.

I can take your technical writing, and I can take it higher. I have a lofty understanding of Apple’s core values precisely because defense and cybersecurity runs in my family. My father worked for Boeing as an Aerospace engineer for almost 20+ years and his lessons and values are deeply instilled in me – and that shows up in my work, too.

I’m not just any kind of writer, either: I am a technical writer with an A.S. in Computer Science, a B.A. in Philosophy (and Pre-Med to boot) and I’m also published.

This all to say that I have the experience and the aptitude to communicate technically; I received a perfect score on the SAT Writing/Essay examination (an “8” which places me in the 98th – 99th percentile of test takers in the good old US of A).

I am looking forward to professionally articulating and artfully transforming your company’s values into analytical, intrepid and pertinent technical writing — with a good eye for proofreading, editing and beyond.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Karimi
On the other hand, I have yet to see any benchmark where people didn’t crawl out of the woodwork to complain about it.
I wonder what would happen if token input included the logprob (or n/a for input from outside the LLM) of each token selected and the network were trained with that extra layer of information, especially during the human feedback training at the end.
Customer service do not entertain us because we are not Proofpoint active customer. Only way to get in touch with us is a dynamic URL generated by them for our IP address. We filled it out immediately about two month ago but they did not respond. It seems like a black hole.
OpenChrome far exceeded Unichrome Windows drivers in performance. But things have changed. Modern engineers prefer “official” software. I understand why. Systems are more complex now.

Study: Disruptive protests by fringe groups give moderate groups more support
The success of the extensions added to UCSD, Apple, Lisa and Turbo Pascal demonstrate that Kernighan's findings, which only focused on Wirth's original Pascal, were not as wrong as you assume. Lisa, Turbo, Object and VAX Pascal essentially supported the same kind of pointer manipulation as C. And if we take a close look at the Oberon System, even Wirth depended on this feature (although it was actually a backdoor of the language and bypassed the type checker), or he directly escaped to assembler.

When I play Baldur's Gate 3 on my M2 Max, the fans get loud. You need a workload that is both CPU-heavy and GPU-heavy for that. When you are stressing only the CPU or the GPU but not both, the fans stay quiet.
I agree with the previous post here. In general garbage code hasn't broken a company I've worked for either.

A couple of cents I'd throw in, though:

Security holes are a marker of poor quality code and depending on the business sector that can break a business (healthcare, net security, VPN etc.). I don't have a clear case in mind, but it seems plausible.

JavaScript is fine as a language, the problem is the proficiency and understanding developers writing it have. I've seen terrible .NET and Java code that is just as bad as any JavaScript code I've encountered and the common denominator has always been outsourcing. Having worked for a consultancy in the past, I know they pass iOS developers as React Developers to get contracts and vice-versa. You can bet the code they write isn't the best.

If it helps, this doesn't end at software. It happens in all sectors due to the pull of profits. Remember the Yugo?

It gives Apple the data/insights which new artists are getting popular. Maybe they can use it to negotiate prices with artists.
What year was your class?

Just because it’s tiresome doesn’t make it untrue in this “era”.

This is not a bag on YC, but yesteryear’s “web store”, begot “social”, begot “blockchain”, begot “ai” and today’s private markets are more conservative for Seed and A rounds.
Absolute best baked (what some people mistakenly call roast) potatoes I've ever had were in a small restaurant in Cornwall, England.

They were almost definitely locally grown, doubtless extremely fresh, and almost definitely an heirloom variety. (And I acknowledge that food always tastes better when you're on holiday.)

We were told the preparation was pretty simple: 'boil in a strong stock until almost fully cooked, then dry and coat in goose fat, and then bake until they look good'.

(Apart from being much faster than conventional baked potatoes, and much much faster & safer than this rosin preparation, there's little risk of getting sick from this method.)
Sabine wasn’t mentioned in this article at all. Why is this the top comment?

But as a side note, Sabine has the annoying habit of speaking authoritatively in matters outside her expertise (i.e. physics) in her YouTube videos. You catch someone doing that once in a scripted presentation, in a subject area where you have expertise and you know they are being superficial at best and wrong at worst, and you basically tune out.

Since I'm committing my blog into git, I found it better to pre-optimize my images so that my repo won't balloon. At first, I wrote a script that simply `find`s my non-WebP images, turns them into WebP. It then looks for those image references in my *.md files and replaces the extension with WebP.

But now, I have a better workflow where I use the Image Converter plugin[^1] in Obsidian since that's how I'm composing my notes primarily. As I paste the images into the markdown file, it gets converted and embedded. There's also Clop[^2] for macOS which auto converts if I copy an image/file to my clipboard into my desired format and quality.

Quite happy with this setup for the time being.

I agree with you. I want to note that ADHD 'coaches' are not trained or licensed or regulated (they're not healthcare professionals at all) so they aren't at all appropriate to be practicing anything 'therapy-based' like you describe it.

I'm medicated and I still need therapy and support from disability support workers. Therapy should just be practiced by people qualified, trained, registered, and regulated. Support workers are such a better value prop than these ADHD 'coaching' scams.

It's also amazing how high efficacy ADHD meds have. There's loads of reasons why they don't work for people but they're so effective! Every time I see that stupid 'prescription' video game I get frustrated that it exists and it marketed particularly towards kids who I assume aren't getting the most effective medical care (meds and therapy) because people are still fearmongering over meds (and therapy lol). Also the whole war on drugs thing. Inhumane and not necessary. Just let people who want to be be medicated! Still need therapy tho. The meds don't suddenly cure everything
This is so dumb, I can hardly believe that it is real. I would need to talk to someone who had experienced it firsthand to fully believe.

Water (stew) is... in every aspect possible a superior cooking medium.

How could this ever have been economical? How hard is it to make a cooking fire, or share a rosin melting fire with a cook pot?

I think it's essentially an old sarcastic joke, that people took too literally?
America only cares about spreading democracy if some country they have beef with isn't democratic. America had no issue replacing democratic (and sometimes secular) goverments with dictatorships if dictatorship was more friendly to the US.
It’s less double check and more a request to go check sources online, which it does, provides links to those sources and then summarizes.

Dear NHL, We Can't See the Ice Through the Ads
Without getting into numbers, it’s more than we would have been able to make at, say, a big tech job over the same time period (5 years)
Point is, it's very likely that we don't know what Y truly was, because the data we have, from tombs where the upper classes are very plausibly heavily overrepresented, is not from a statistically average population-wide sample. In which case, it is likely that warrior heights are not any taller, on average, than what's already in that data. (i.e., warrior heights not any taller than generic upper-class male heights.)

In any case, 167cm is probably an over-estimate. The latest research puts the average at 163.1. (And again this perhaps skews high rather than low.) For a snapshot, see: https://i.ibb.co/FXZjNSL/Bronze-Age-Height.png

In Greece today the average height is nearly 1.8m. So there is a big difference that can't really be handwaved away.

You're right about the global average, but, in HEMA practitioners who might investigate the historical use of weapons, I'd bet that the average height is also around 1.8m!

We might learn a thing or two if we give a 1.63m Filipino swordmaster a Naue II sword, but it's unlikely that a sword made for a 1.63m Greek is going to be a good fit for somebody 20cm taller.

Come to think of it, that would be a fun experiment.
(Are you sure that SQLite attempts to protect against RCE from an attacker who can run fully arbitrary queries? I would be surprised.)
The strength of the statement is decoupled from its veracity.
It doesn't matter. It was enough for me.
They're literally inundated with the message in all media. The US government spread rumors about Chinese vaccines it knew to be safe to convince people not to take them. The US has budgeted 1.6 billion dollars for propaganda activity against China.
Personally I would demand of "reducing wealth inequality" that it makes everyone richer, not poorer. If this is the sort of equality you want ... what's the goal? Let's all be dirt poor?

By all goals set for this tax when introducing it, it's a failure. It did not change anything, made everyone poorer and reduced the state's ability to do anything about it.
Figma to me feels geared toward collaborative prototyping specifically. It’s kinda clunky and awkward for creation of graphical assets, which is where I find Sketch a lot nicer.
Wouldn’t that be up to the owner of the space?
In Britain, baked potatoes are oven-cooked whole, skin on, usually without fat; roast potatoes are peeled, cut into large uniform chunks (halved or quartered depending on the size), parboiled, then oven-cooked in lots of fat.
Could you shrinkwrap and sous-vide a potatoe for the same effect?

Looks like YC is moving to 4 cohorts annually -- and I agree with you on the AI product density in the past few batches -- but I've heard (from two alum) that the smaller sub-cohorts (i.e., within a batch) make it feel smaller and more intimate.

> The real question is why the misconception that minimum wage increases result in broad upward price spirals is so common when you can figure out why that's unlikely with math most people have learned by the time they're teenagers.

Owners of companies have an incentive to encourage us to think this, firstly because it’s a distraction from the true cause of inflation (their greed), and secondly because a public resistant to the idea of raising the minimum wage helps them keep their profits higher.

Latency of communication with GPU is too large, and GPUs suck at things CPUs are good at.
Yikes. Propaganda runs DEEP in the west.

Everything you said describes the US and other western nations better than any other civilization in history. The US backs genocide after genocide, consistently breaks the international “laws” it pushed for. From the start of the empire, that’s been the explicit policy of the American empire. Trail of tears anyone? Hiroshima? Agent Orange? East Timor? The banana republics? It’s a really long list…

Students really need to be taught their actual history. It’s really quite horrific.

This comment displays not even a shred of understanding regarding China or it’s history.

How dare China have territorial sovereignty. How dare they have security in their own region. How dare they build infrastructure in the global south, when everyone knows they should be pillaging those regions instead! Unthinkable! That all belongs to the west!

That comment represents an insanity in the west that may just be the downfall of organized human life.
Very interesting. In other words, it's never a good strategy to be at an extreme of something.
Blanket tarrifs seem like a very bad idea. I'd hope Congress would curtail the president's discretion around whole worth tarrifs.
Yes of course. Everybody needs a good editor ;)

No one said advantage. Merely difference. That is verbiage you introduced. There absolutely are differences in most often chosen types of approaches to problems.

There are an infinite number of ways to solve any problem, be it in the world or in code.

A common stereotype example (whether it's true or not, it still serves as an example of a difference in approach to a problem) would be how a male would more often choose to deal with some problem directly while a female will more often find some indirect way. Some people might say that as honest vs manipulative, or simple vs smart depending on their own bias and which approach they want to portray as more admirable.

I say the "manipulator" (female) way has a lot in common with what I as a male admire in the most "elegant" engineering solutions. Getting something to happen by itself from a small input vs a more direct brute force less flexible way. It can be bad, because one form of this indirect action is to manipulate people, but that is just one expression of it. The same thing also just means seeking and being willing to employ compromises and bargaining, being willing to give an complete asshole what they want to get what you need and not caring so much about your own pride or whatever. I myself am far less likely to do that. I judge and I don't compromise or bargain unless forced, and I rationalize it as not necessarily toxic because I don't think it makes the world a better place to let people get away with some things, I think it's important and worth it in the long run to absorb some difficulty to push back, precisely because many won't and someone should.

But intellectually I can recognize that there are these two different ways to attack the same problem, and they both get results, and so they are both valid, including the approach I myself don't usually choose.

Neither is better or worse or has a better or worse value necessarily. They are different ways to successfully get from the same A starting point to the same B ending point. But they are different.

In code there is practical infinity. Like preferring functions vs objects, implicit vs explicit, imperative vs declarative... countless different paths to arrive at a desired final result.

And they are not all equally random. Males and females absolutely have bell curves of how they are more or less likely to interpret some data or problem or process, and how they go about breaking the job up to get from a to b.

Other things like culture would have it's effect too, but that's just it's own seperate thing. We have studied ourselves thoroughly enough for long enough that even with all the bad and biased studies, we still just have overwhelming and ridiculously obvious data that there is a pattern of difference attached to sex regardless of all other factors.

I agree with your general point, but it’s even more nuanced than that. There are different kinds of machines: ballot marking machines, tabulating machines, printing machines, sorting and photographing machines…

When people say “just use paper ballots,” it’s almost always an oversimplification.

Sounds like they were building an aarch64 image, building an x86_64 image on Apple Silicon will also be slow - unless you are saying the M* builds x86_64 faster than an i9?

Here is a quick overview of how the system works.

Currently only smaller engines are EGR+DPF only. It takes having an SCR(&DEF) system to reduce emissions to legal limits on most larger engines now and the technology has been combined to have an engine with EGR+DPF&SCR(&DEF).

There are issues with engines and the active regeneration that has to occur in order to clean the DPF(basically engine has to get very hot and burn out the buildup) and also issues with DEF, which is an ammonia solution, both with the electronic dosing units failing and solution purity.

There is still no real equivalent on Linux. Kate seems nice but its session management isn't ideal.

Honestly I want to take Scintilla or whatever and just add in session support, syntax highlighting and spellchecking, and then I'll have my perfect editor.
If they release a Studio without increasing prices next year, these specs will cost you 4500€. That's more comparable to your build (sans the upgrade options of course).
Apparently Qualcomm's new ARM laptops are pretty close.

However I think ARM platforms tend to be way less open source friendly than x86, at least on mobile. Maybe the laptops are better because they have to run Windows and Microsoft probably wouldn't put up with the shit vendors pull on Android. I don't know.

Sure, but China has huge unemployment _and_ under-consumption. This means that the economy is not well-aligned with the needs of the population.

The fix for that is long-known: liberalize the business environment and let the market settle.

The question about the leadership is right, though. I'm not sure they _want_ the market to win.
I am talking about automatically adding fades and/or automatically snapping to nearest zero crossing when cutting audio to prevent clicks.

Every other modern DAW does this automatically. In Logic, you are expected to do this manually every time you do an audio edit. Like it's 2004 again.

Edit: added clarification about zero crossings and editing workflow
So the natural question is how come we nevertheless find people who take the extreme of something.
> The Philippine War started in 1898 in Cuba, and began US world expansion.

That is not entirely true. The United States government and/or its citizens acting autonomously had global reach much earlier than 1898.

Throughout the nineteenth century, American expansionism was seen in various Central American countries, Ecuador, Liberia and Japan, for instance. In some cases, like in Japan and in Brazil, America’s aggressive policies were thwarted. But it does not mean that there was not expansionism.
