Intersect.com will invest $10k USD in 10-20 startups in Q1 2025 for startups that are outside of Silicon Valley and want to relocate to Silicon Valley.

The $10k investment will be via a post-money SAFE at a $1-5M valuation with pro-rata rights.

The requirements for the startup are:

1. The startup must have raised a minimum of $50K USD (50% can be founders capital)

2. At least one of the startup’s founders relocates to Silicon Valley for a minimum of 1 month in April 2025 and all founders have plans to be based here in the long-term.

3. The startup is currently based outside of Silicon Valley

4. Are a US based entity (Delaware C-Corp preferred)

What you get:

1. February 2025 - 8 week program to help you prepare your startup for relocation to Silicon Valley

2. April 2025 - relocate to Silicon Valley for a minimum of 4 weeks during which Intersect will help you raise a pre-seed round, find customers and release your product.

3. We are partnering with accommodation providers and co-working spaces to get you affordable options for living here for a month - but there are no obligations to use these options.

4. There are no obligations to use any Intersect services or products

Please comment below your one-liner and I will reach out to you with more information. If you know a startup that might be a good fit, please tag them below.

We are doing this because:

1. Getting a startups off the ground is really hard and its a problem I have faced many times

2. It's just a good investment opportunity for the arbitrage between startups outside of Silicon valley and those in Silicon valley

3. Intersect might get some customers out of the program but that isn’t the primary driver
^ this, took my biggest step entry into programming via learning how to get my videos on an iPod Video in 2004, that eventually required compiling ffmpeg and keeping up with it.

I'll bet money, sight unseen, that poster above is right its used for HEVC. I'll bet even more money its not some massive out of nowhere win, hand-writing assembly for popular codecs was de rigeur for ffmpeg. Thrust of the article, or at least the headline, is clickbait-y.
You don't need to submit all of those, but generally these vectorized DSP functions are parts of decoding straight out of the spec, so there isn't a new way to do it.

Sometimes there is of course. In that case you can get someone else to help, or one platform just runs ahead of the others.

This actually is a security footgun. In Java or C# you can't get security issues by trying to update a reference from multiple threads, because it's always atomic. In Go you can create type confusion because interface pointer updates are not atomic.

The problem is that most of the 80% advance in your batteries are small 2-3% advances that never got a huge press cover. The 80% improvement press announcement are the unrealistic ones.

PS: My favorite weird quantum anecdote that nobody know and everyone uses was Giant Magnetoresistance. Have you ever read about it? Do you have a device that uses it at your home?

This is one of the main reasons I tell people not to use VSCode. The people most likely to use it are juniors and people new to python specifically, and they're the most likely to fall victim to 'but my "IDE" says it's running 3.8 with everything installed, but when I run it from my terminal it's a different python 3.8'

I watched it last week. With 4 (I hope junior) Devs in a "pair programming" session that forced me to figure out how VSCode does virtual envs, and still I had to tell them like 3 times "stop opening a damn new terminal, it's obviously not setup with our python version, run the command inside the one that has the virtual env activated".
> As long as the vast majority of processes don't use AVX-512

One very common function used by nearly every process is memcpy, and it's often optimized to use the largest vector size available, so it wouldn't surprise me if the vast majority of processes does use AVX-512.
I think async/sync is a big example as someone else mentioned.

I'd also say the macro systems. Macro by example is a totally new (and let's be honest, awful) language, and the proc macros are another thing again.

Thankfully I find I very very rarely need to actually write macros, and you can avoid async most of the time unless you're doing web dev.

Still a fantastic language - easily the best at the moment IMO, but I see his point.
> These text came into being later without titles. They circulated without titles. Its later church fathers who just assigned names to them based on tradition.

As someone who was raised in the christian faith, learned the sunday school version of the bible and only later seriously studied the texts (first in theological seminary and later from a purely historical perspective after becoming an atheist) - it's remarkable how different the consensus of serious historians is from what most people learned in sunday school.

As you've said, we don't even know who wrote the synoptic gospels, where or when (closer than estimated decades). Due to the lack of original documents, reliable contemporaneous accounts and other supporting evidence, we know shockingly little with any certainty. It's extremely unlikely the authors of the gospels were eyewitnesses to any of the events they describe. I was most surprised when I learned from later study just how much the canonical bible I'd learned as a child was retconned hundreds of years later through an opaque process of curation and editing by fractious groups of church leaders at events like the Council of Nicea.

> In Mark for example, Jesus basically doesn't say that he is the son of god.

Which is why the many inconsistencies in today's canonical new testament are even more remarkable. This is the most consistent version they could assemble from a far larger group of even more divergent, inconsistent texts. Ultimately, the bible we know today is descended from a pastiche of copies of copies, written over decades by unknown authors in different places and languages and then survived several 'negotiated settlements' between opposing factions arguing over arcane theological points under an overarching power dynamic trying to unite some semblance of a unified "church" (and even what we know of these councils is only the sanitized version written by the 'winners').

Applying an adult's experience of how large groups work and how ad hoc organizations adapt orthodoxies over time and distance (ie 'telephone game'), the only way to not see the synoptic gospels as randomized fan fiction largely unrelated to any actual historical events is to believe that god miraculously intervened dozens of times over hundreds of years to force an historically "correct" bible to be the surviving version we know today.

From article “Side note on frozen produce: The post above is about fresh produce only. A potentially appealing alternative may be buying frozen produce, which on average has equal or higher nutritional content than fresh. This is because frozen produce is picked at peak ripeness then frozen shortly after, locking in most of the nutrients at the expense of appearance/texture/flavor.”

You get that "all the black people are in lower roles or somehow all deemed less productive" is worse, right?
You’ll face a high regulatory and liability burden, but neither of those are insurmountable (note that I am not a lawyer or financial advisor and this is not legal or financial advice). Liquor license to serve drinks is the first that comes to mind. Then there’s the risk factor that running a bar involves dealing with unsavory people (people who start fights, harass, other levels of petty crime and violence). You also need to screen guests for valid IDs.

You need a rent-a-bouncer service for your hosts, too at the very least.

Again, not impossible but difficult (and solving the difficulty is the whole value prop of a business). Consider synergies with other event organizers, especially in the music scene.
Deep in the text they mention that a study looked at nutrient contents and Walmart was the best:

“I learned this from talking to Brent Overcash, co-founder of a startup called TeakOrigin, which specialized in testing nutrient content in groceries from retail grocery stores. For years, every week, his team would walk into grocery stores, buy thousands of produce items the way normal consumers would, and bring them back to the lab to assess nutrient content.“

No, it's not. But it also hasn't gone away. The long tail of viable technologies is much longer than most developers realize. Technology shifts are almost generational.

Can anyone talk about a better model?

Some things to consider:
1) The company needs a way to weed out folks who are net negative. In general, if someone is not playing their part, there should be a mechanism to evict if up-leveling fails.
2) The company needs a way to distribute incentives (bonuses) as fairly as possible.
You can double-pump a lot of the instructions, but emulating some of the rest would lead to severe slowdowns in code that should instead be using an AVX2 implementation.

It's better not to fake it that hard. If those cores don't have it, don't pretend to have it.

But turning it off on the P cores was dumb.
All I see is that newer library versions drop support for old Python versions (seems natural, unless you have unlimited resources). For example, If you need Python 2 support, use corresponding old versions.
Honestly, no. Prior to 2009 there were almost no 720p videos on the platform. In 2009 Windows 7 came out with a minimum requirement of 1GB RAM (Vista in 2007 also already recommended 1GB). What I'm trying to say is, 1GB wasn't much even before 720p got common. The amount of people watching 720p on systems with less than 1GB has likely always been minuscule.
I'm pro union. I'm just saying I've worked with a lot of people with Director in their title that I know don't do any actual work other than balance a budget or shuffle shit around in spreadsheets once every couple months. I've been at my new job almost a year now, and I can't believe what people are getting away with. Obviously not everywhere is like this, but it's not my first job where the rest of the company is completely clueless as to how little the IT dept actually does day to day.

> “Although the study found inadequate sleep duration was not an issue in brain atrophy in this study, we cannot say there is no association,” she said, noting that a previous CARDIA study showed that shorter sleep was associated with worse white matter integrity, indicating lower cognitive functioning.

That quote seems to directly contradict the headline.
> That sounds liking replacing striking staff to me

That's my read too, but they could also e.g. lend them some engineers, have them build an election dashboard for them etc.

The fact that that would still be crossing the picket line, how realistic any of that is, or how genuine the offer, are all great questions/observations, but "replace with AI" seems like a quite dishonest editorialization in any case.
I also recommend Pheme Perkins.
Ew, likewise. I'd even go so far as to say that "verbing" this way is "impactful," and not in a good way. "Going forward," we should all try to use language more thoughtfully.

I have a Prime G2 and the RPN mode is just bad. It feels like it was an afterthought, and some things just don't seem to work properly in that mode.

My 48G+ is a much, much better RPN calculator.

The Prime G2 is also missing the equation library from the 48G+, which I found weird. Maybe they expect you to download what you need instead of using space in Flash for it.

I'm approaching midlife and noticing the quality of my sleep has declined. I can't sleep in anymore. Sometimes I'm waking up in the middle of the night occasionally and something I'm wide awake because I'm thinking about work or something like that. Very frustrating.

Another reminder to try to pull myself away from the screens late at night.
> The second reason that I’ll write is to learn about something. It’s one thing to hand-wave one’s way through a presentation. It’s another to commit pen to paper (well, bytes to disk) and explain something. Quite often I’ll realise that there’s a gap—or gaps—in my knowledge that I need to explore first before I can properly write about something, and that’s the very reason that I do it.

This is a very good reason to write - I've learned about a ton of topics over the years at depths I wouldn't have bothered with if I weren't going to write blogposts about it. I really didn't need to spend a year chewing through other people's PhD work to understand some of the quirks of lead acid battery behavior I was seeing years back (Steve on IRC's description covered the details well enough to work around it), but if I was going to write it up[0], I wanted to actually understand it. And that took time.

But it misses one of the most important reasons I write: To force myself to finish projects and document things, so I can fully offload it from my brain.

I'm very prone to "90% done, eh, good enough, I'll finish it later..." sort of projects, and they take up a lot of mental space because I still have to (or, at least, try to...) remember state on the project. Before I write about something, I want it fully done, and then as part of writing it up, I trust myself to document anything weird, any odd findings, etc. Once I've done that, then I can entirely forget the details of the project, teardown, or whatever, knowing that if I need to do it again, I can go reference my old writeup and I'll know what I need to do!

Once written, I can just clear the brain-space out, and not worry about forgetting about it, because it's been written up, by me, in my style.

Also, copy editors and reviewers start to sound more like professional writing than "blogging," at least to me.

It’s a negotiation. What is reasonable is for the two parties to determine. But it’s not crazy to imagine. This is not Walter White asking to work remotely from a professional-grade chemistry lab. These are tech workers who can carry the professional-grade equipment in their backpacks.
> You could say the same thing any time in the past an you'd be wrong every time.

1. That is a weak argument. None of the prices so far would reault in this clear absurdity. Bitcoin cannot store more value than there is value. I am wrong if the population booms to the trillions, or the dollar crashes like Zimbabwe.

2. Past performance is not indicative of future results. For the past 40 years I have been alive. If you said anytime in the last 40 years I would die tomorrow, you'd be wrong every time. I will therefore live forever. Biology and statistics be damned.

The purpose, point, goal, and desire of a company, which in real terms means the people who work in the C-Suite and make all the choices, is to make as much money as possible. They have no loyalties, it's more profitable that way.

For example, multiple fast food companies have driven themselves into the ground by exploiting their franchise owners for fast cash. That's how Quiznos died. You would think murdering a company would actually be bad for C level people, but they just move on to the next company. They never seem to have a problem getting hired despite their past performance.

who ever thought this was a good idea?
I'm pretty well read in this area, and I have never come across the theory that the Gospel of Mark was written by Peter's son (or even that Peter had a son, never mind his name). Where are you getting all of this?

Most of the associations between Mark and Peter come from Papias (whom we possess only in fragments). He makes no suggestion of a filial relationship between the author of the second gospel and Peter.

There was the time I wrote a “data-assembler” for the AVR8 because I was packing up rather complicated data structures to represent parts of graphics that appear on a persistence of vision display and how the parts are assembled into images. If you look at any assembler you see there are a lot of facilities for constructing data as well as for constructing code and I took one approach to that problem, outputting C code for an array that the system can read out of the (comparatively large) ROM.
Right, I didn't say anything about scores. Just adding another point of view.
The teachers are a little different though. When they go on strike, the most directly affected people are the students, who they aren't negotiating with. Second hand effects are on the parents, who again they aren't negotiating with.

It's only via third hand effects that the other party is actually affected, because the parents have to make the admin's life hard.

So teachers consider that their first duty is to the students. Also they are there to help the students to begin with.
They have thousands of articles written by a range of authors.

It's easy to demonstrate contrived abuses of Go concurrency that break memory safety, but despite the enormous popularity of the language, actual shipping vulnerabilities --- mistakes in concurrency, not deliberately-engineered pathological cases, that yield attacker-controlled control over memory --- are basically nonexistent (I can't think of a single one; there must be one somewhere!).

Basically this is about as credible an argument as claiming that Rust isn't memory safe because its libraries have so much `unsafe` code. And that claim: not super credible.

Basically, the takeaway in both cases is that it's not safe to allow an attacker to write code for you in the language. But everybody assumes that's the case anyways, because it's the case with virtually every other language (with one very notable, fraught, and well-understood exception), too.

According to someone in the dupe thread, the C implementation is not just naive with no use of vector intrinsics, it also uses a more expensive filter algorithm than the assembly versions, and it was compiled with optimizations disabled in the benchmark showing a 94x improvement:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42042706

Talk about stacking the deck to make a point. Finely tuned assembly may well beat properly optimized C by a hair, but there's no way you're getting a two orders of magnitude difference unless your C implementation is extremely far from properly optimized.
Here is code to circumvent Go's memory safety without importing unsafe.

get() reads a byte at an arbitrary address and set() writes a byte at an arbitrary address.

go put(&ptr2)

if ok && ptr1 != nil {
close(done)

}
}
get := func(addr uintptr) byte {
*ptr1 = addr

}
set := func(addr uintptr, to byte) {
*ptr1 = addr
