I wanted to make this a B2C product for those who can't afford to buy an online course, but don't want to scroll through all the content that's on youtube...

As for the B2B idea, it might work, but this would be just another gpt wrapper.

I'm honestly more interested into doing something useful, by embedding a ton of youtube content, then creating 100% free learning paths with free resources.

I intend to keep notclass free forever. No hidden fees.
macOS virtualization of Linux is very fast and flexible. Their sample code shows it's easy without any kind of service/application:

However, it doesn't support snapshots for Linux, so you need to power down each session.

I wanted a new feature in our customer support console and the dev lead suggested I write a JIRA. I’m the CEO, so this is not my usual thing (and probably should not be). I told Claude what I wanted and pasted in a .js file from the existing project so that it would get a sense of the context. It cranked out a fully functional React component that actually looks quite nice too. Two new API calls were needed, but Claude helpfully told me that. So I pasted the code sample and a screenshot of the HTML output into the JIRA and then got Claude to write me the rest of the JIRA as well.

Everyone knows this was “made by AI” because there’s no way in hell I would ever have the time. These models might not be able to sit there and build an entire project from scratch yet, but if what you need is some help adding the next control panel page, Claude’s got your back on that.

This is kind of disingenuous when the grandparent comment is complaining exactly about the particular way this country is free in.
You hit the nail on the head. And it’s something virtually everyone else replying to you is completely missing.

Apple isn’t perfect. They’re not better at privacy than some absolutist position where you run Tails on RISC V, only connect to services over Tor, host your own email, and run your own NAS.

But of all the consumer focused hardware manufacturers and cloud services companies, they are the only ones even trying.
To me this whole thing feels like lawfare. Regardless of whether what he’s doing is legal or not, the only reason this DA in Philadelphia is suing is because he or his office want to attack those who are in the opposing political camp. They have so many other priorities that are higher, like actual physical crime. But suddenly they have all the time and money in the world to focus on this? No the bizarre choice to put this first is politically biased, and that makes it lawfare - an abuse of power.

Setting that aside - it seems entirely unreasonable for a court to expect that the executive of a major company can just randomly appear the next morning. I think that’s unreasonable for anyone who isn’t living locally. How does that even work?
I am a generalist. Not once in my twenty years of experience have I met anyone like me. I can write firmware just as well as I can design and implement UX and UI. Heck, I can design circuits or even products in fusion 360. Where are all these so called generalists? If you mean “fullstack”, that is only a small fraction of software, and the bar has lowered a lot since JavaScript has become ubiquitous (so you only need to know TS/JS to call yourself fullstack…I don’t think you need to include even something like SQL).

As such, demand for me is so high that I’ve simply retired from all the money that was thrown at me (it’s also pretty easy for me to start my own business…although exiting is another story). I have no LinkedIn or other online presence and I still get headhunted despite having no interest.

From Claude:

I'll rank those three fruits from largest to smallest:

1. Grapefruit
2. Orange
3. Blueberry

The grapefruit is definitely the largest of these three fruits - they're typically around 4-6 inches in diameter. Oranges are usually 2-3 inches in diameter, and blueberries are the smallest at roughly 0.5 inches in diameter.

Someone has to take the garbage, and be paid for it.

If the pay is being kept artificially low though, then there is inefficiency in the system.

The Sufficiently Smart Compiler is a hypothetical argument used in advocating for a programming language whose naive implementations might tend towards inefficient designs, whereas the aliasing argument is not itself hypothetical but it may not be backed by data. That's a different thing altogether.

Whether the aliasing argument holds water does not affect whether it was used as justification for Rust's design.

Redundant copies on a single volume are a waste of resources. Spend less on size, spend more on an extra parity drive, or another backup of your most important files. That way you get more safety per gigabyte.
And on the other side of things if Trump loses I don't think Musk realizes the MAGA cult-mind is going to search for scapegoats and I imagine he's pretty high on the list of likely targets, especially when they find out how poorly he ran the get-out-the-vote drive he's responsible for.
According to the latest study [1] estimating how much money cheat developers make annually it is an upper limit of ~ $75M. I would say that the very liberal estimation of anti cheating efforts will cost maybe $100M annually. That does not include only research efforts but actual cost of tackle them (extra compute, reviewers...etc). This is unrealistic but even through to reach the point of billions (2-3 billions) you would say that Gaming companies were spending on average $100M since the beginning of personal computers era (on research only). This is not something that is hard to believe even with the most liberal interpretation.

So I think it is fair to say the there haven't been billions of dollars of research spent on this problem.

Over a weekend last month - at an AI hackathon made https://nonfungibledocs.com

Create variations of your content, so that you can backtrack the source of a leak.

Just changing 5 words in various places of a page of a doc, it can back track 1200 variations. It uses technology from multivariate testing and natural language processing although I have a version that can/avoid using LLMs as well.

## Why Now

With over 1,800 data breaches in the U.S. in 2022 alone, and rising regulatory pressures from GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, companies must prioritize information security.

Traditional methods like NDAs and basic data encryption fail to identify the source of leaks, leaving companies vulnerable

The global enterprise data protection SaaS market was valued at $7.9 billion in 2023, expected to grow to $20.1 billion by 2028. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are set to grow at a 21% CAGR through 2028, while Information Rights Management (IRM) solutions will reach $1.1 billion.

## My ask

I’ll have to look into this a little to see if it might be useful for some other things we have, if we’re even allowed to used it. We’re running everything through AAP which is useful for audits. We do have a home-grown tool for installing and maintaining state of a lot of the things we need to setup. We install that during setup with Ansible and wait for it to finish its initial setup to make sure there are no errors before we turn it over to the customer.

The other issue we have is our change management process. We need to provide a single update with the status of everything when it’s done. So our process can only go as fast as the slowest server. We could change this, but it would be a political nightmare I don’t want to deal with.
Don’t you know? Nothing is ever their fault. Their team is perfect. It’s always the other guys. Always. They never lose, the other guys cheat. ALWAYS.
No, what I meant is that, much like when copying code, I only keep the generated source code if it's written the way I would write it.

And then write tests. Or perhaps I wrote the test first.
What? Unless you have haemochromatosis this is really tinfoilery over the iron levels acquired through natural ingestion, especially the thought of leach levels from a pan. You get more iron from meat or a bowl of cereal than you could ever get from a pan without it being flat out dissolved in the process over the course of a handful of cooks.
The main problem here is that many people use non-stick cookware, and metal spatulas will scratch them up badly. Plastic or rubber spatulas don't do that.

Of course, you can say that they shouldn't use non-stick cookware, but they are, so...

I mean his wealth is basically irrelevant. A lot of his wealth isn’t even actually there (it’s just unrealized gains that can’t be realized in real life). But even setting that aside, the spending we do as a country and at all the other levels of the government is insanely huge. The federal government alone is obligated to spend around $9T. State and local governments spend another $4T ish. That’s $13T in one year. The total theoretical wealth of all the billionaires in the US is less than $6T. You could take away all of their wealth and it would not solve the spending issues we face. Either way, deep spending cuts HAVE to happen, to prevent the worst case economic hardship.
( not the person that made the "outside food" comment )

"you have to grow your own" is hardly the way to think about it .. we source the vast bulk of our food locally from our state and various farm groups.

To address your questions; Yes, we (the household I live in) have our own poultry, yes we grow our own grain, yes we have our own sheep. Ditto potatoes, figs, oranges, lemons, manderins, blueberries, garlic, herbs, olives, olive oil, etc.

No to "milk cow" - this isn't prime dairy country; that's some 500 km south and that's where we get milk from .. still extended family though. Beef cattle and the best fish is some 1,000+ km north - still the same state and still from extended family.

Essentially what we eat comes from our land or that of people we know either directly or with a single intermediary.

It's pretty healthy that way, we have one of the highest life expectancy's on the planet and COVID was a non issue here, both of the two roads in|out of the state were "closed" (goods trucks loaded | unloaded with no driver social contact, just sleep over, move on) the ships and airports quarantined with a mandated seperation of people or a mandated one-two week isolation if coming in.

Here's the local grain co-op: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBH_Group .. we can pass harvest on and get back ground grain in sacks for home use.

State land area is 3x that of Texas, state population 2.5 million (ish), mostly city dwellers.

> Russian has a lot of ways you can write "compactly" with fewer words than english and have a much more precise meaning of the sentence. (I always likened russian to type-safe haskell and english to dynamic python)

The difference is in fusionality. English does not use inflection and relies heavily on auxiliaries (pre-, post-positions, particles, other modifiers) while Russian (and other Slavic, Baltic languages) rely rather heavily on inflection.

For English speakers, probably the closest is the gerund. A simple suffix transforms a verb into a noun-compatible form, denoting process. In highly fusional languages a root can be combined with multiple modifying pre-, a-, suf-fixes, and inflected on top. This does unlock some subtlety.
Notably, having to duplicate all data x2 (or more) is more of a waste than having 2 copies of a few files - if full drive failure is not the expected failure mode, and not all files should be protected this heavily.

It’s why metadata gets duplicated in ZFS the way it does on all volumes.

Having seen this play out a bunch of times, it isn’t an uncommon need either.
I have a Japanese electric fry pan, non-stick. I use a bamboo spatula for it. It was not originally intended for the purpose, but I took a rasp and file to it to give it a sharp edge. I usually don't need the spatula. I flip things with chopsticks. I mean that's why you use a non-stick pan! If you have to peel the food off it with a spatula, what good is the non-stick surface? I mostly use the bamboo spatula for lifting things that are delicate, like sunny side up eggs.
Yes, I understand.

I hope I didn’t come across, my comment was not delicate but I was genuinely curious about the answer. I’ve created a product which luckily works for now, so I’m out of the job market, but I think everyone on HN knows that your situation is the normal one that awaits all of us in the second half of our career.
This is exactly how I’ve used copilot for over a year now. It’s really helpful! Especially with repetitive code. Certainly worth what my employer pays for it.

I thought the latest news was recycling doesn't work, it's just green washing for petroleum companies.
https://www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1131131088/recycling-plastic-...

This is evidenced in https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00489...

"To investigate the extent to which kitchen utensils are contaminated with BFRs and the potential for resultant human exposure, we collected 96 plastic kitchen utensils and screened for Br content using a hand-held X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. Only 3 out of 27 utensils purchased after 2011 contained detectable concentrations of Br (≥ 3 μg/g). In contrast, Br was detected in 31 out of the 69 utensils purchased before 2011."

Let me emphasize: Only 3 out of 27 utensils purchased after 2011 contained detectable concentrations of Br.

Further vital information: "Simulated cooking experiments were conducted to investigate BFR transfer from selected utensils (n = 10) to hot cooking oil, with considerable transfer (20% on average) observed."

Fine, I don't cook with hot oil. I don't melt my utensils when cooking, I don't damage them at all. I see the reason for concern, but for my cooking styles this really doesn't affect me.
I agree there’s lots of hype. I disagree that anything unusual is happening. Even before AI, 90% of funded startups would fail. All those companies did their best to hype themselves up. As for the capex for hyperscalers and venture investments, the returns not materializing yet is not very interesting. Remove AI and look at how long it takes a fund to return its investment (if ever). Look at past successful companies and note how long it took for them to become profitable, let alone make up for all the past losses. To me it seems like Linus is not noting anything interesting.

The concept he discusses of “the edge” is very similar to “edge of chaos” from physics, but has been studied extensively in complexity sciences, specifically complex adaptive systems.

The theory proposes that all complex adaptive systems (CAS) naturally adapt to a state at the “edge of chaos” which is a transition zone between order(stability) and disorder.

The theory proposes this is the zone where maximal learning/innovation/creativity in social systems occur.

We studied complex adaptive systems in 2019, at the time I changed my LinkedIn tag line to : “learning at the edge of chaos” , still have not changed it since then.
