Maybe not any income level. Well, you can buy Twitter I suppose. But, yes, you can fly Netjets or whatever, buy supercars, have a bunch of personal staff, and eat out at Michelin-starred restaurants on a regular basis. And burn through certainly multiple $100Ks or even 6 figures annually pretty quickly.
Perception on the degree of severity seems to depend largely upon the size and structure of your social networks. In the post-GPT4 tech economy, your work friends are also the only worthwhile recruiters.
What kind of society would we create if legitimise murder of citizens because another citizen disagrees with them?

We invented rule of law and the ballot box to protect ourselves from each other. Yes it may be inefficient and may produce results we don't like, but once it becomes ok to murder people you disagree with, that legitimises killing anyone.
I used a tool in school that outputted svgs with watermarks. So I proved that if I ever wanted to, though I never needed to, I could just delete that element. Trivial.

I would like to move to a better backend and front end. Local first would be good over a database server. I've been looking at flutter and sqlite but I've little experience here and am unsure about a multi user context.

Access whilst old is a good technology when used correctly within its capabilities.
Thank you for your thoughtful response! I completely agree that there's a tradeoff between being proactive and reactive in this kind of strategy: minimizing risk by waiting can mean missing out on opportunities to gain a broader "stake".

That said, my perspective focuses more on strategic timing rather than complete passivity. It's about being engaged with understanding trends, staying informed, and preparing to act decisively when the right opportunity emerges. It's less about "waiting on the sidelines" and more about deliberate pacing, recognizing that it’s not always necessary to be at the bleeding edge to create value.

I'll definitely check out Dwarkesh Patel’s latest episode. I assume it is the Gwern one, right? Thanks!

Ahh, so we lack a definition, no one is fascist, and killing political dissidents is equivalent to fair and legal elections.

Good is equivalent to evil, because both are hard to define.

He can’t be a monarchist, he doesn’t believe in mercantilism, which random authority says is an essential part of monarchism. Plus, how do you define monarchism? You can’t.

Humanity is so fucked.

I have a theory that job search sights have an incentive to make the application/recruiting process so much of a slog due to (1) the hundreds of applications many people have to send out and (2) the hundreds of applications that companies have to sort through, as a way to justify their own existence.
To be specific, I would quit the other 73 income streams and stop any extracurricular activities until I shipped something. Even though AI feels overhyped (it sort of is), we're still early in the game, and there's plenty of money to be made. Businesses still have a ton of time-consuming, expensive pain points. You just have to pick an industry and go talk to insiders to figure out what to build.
Doctors and lawyers build up immense amounts of "open-source" work that proves their skill. Almost everything a lawyer writes becomes public at some point. Doctors have patient results and billing records that can be checked on a reference call. Software engineers comparatively work in the dark and rely on softly-defined metrics.
yup , I was actually looking at the tglite bytecode engine. I am really interested in this project.

My thought was about arturo lang though https://arturo-lang.io/ since it has https://github.com/arturo-lang/grafito , and it just felt like having a better integration with sql though lua is also fine.

We can also integrate this directly to something like lua running on sqlite compiled by cosmopolitan project to even ship a cross platform single executable sqlite.

The possibilites are endless.

If you are genuinely interested in this project. I am willing to help in my free time. But I am a novice and I don't have experience in low level langauges like C/rust and much prefer golang.
Is it just that one example? And the situation now is they "relented"?

call glibc what you want, but at least they don't have such dumb issues and that attitude.

I... Don't know what to say. You really can't think of one decision that the glibc maintainers have made that caused a lot of pain for users? Pretty sure the musl author has/had a blog post full of them. You don't write c library for no reason at all.
Given these limitations, isn’t it easier to create a small dotnet project?
Yeah, one of my pet peeves is when someone really puts a lot of effort into making a technical article into an exaggerated story about themselves, like some sort of gonzo journalist.

Then I thought about where homo sapiens went wrong because of the response. Clearly this bad response by chatgpt was a fundamental error with evolution. Do I really want to exist in a world where an LLM can give a bad response? Does anybody??? What is this world coming to when something on the internet is wrong?????'

They've been killing Ukrainians for almost 3 years.

So if they're not inclined to fight, they sure don't mind the killing and destruction of Ukraine, which is more of an entrepreneurial motivation than anything else:

- Some want to try to enrich themselves by killing Ukrainians;

- Others don't want that risk, but they're ok with it;
Show HN: Native.express – Ultimate React Native starter kit
Hi there,

I built NativeExpress, a React Native starter kit that includes boilerplate code, comprehensive docs, and submission guides & assets.

As a former startup CTO, I've felt the frustration of spending precious runway time just setting up basic app infrastructure. That's why I built NativeExpress.

NativeExpress is live on producthunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nativeexpress
Cools thanks for the answer. I’m getting downvoted for an honest question I guess.
FAANG jobs absolutely hire engineers over zoom. It’s not just one interview, but the whole process is done remotely over video. It typically includes somewhere between 5 to 10 sessions covering coding, architecture and behavioral.

5000 is not that much anymore, especially in the US. would have been better to split into $1000 chunks instead of $200
key insight. the factors influencing this are a couple I can think of. the first is just the sheer volume of applicants made possible by the internet and the mobility of workers, where you get hundreds of profiles to sort through for any job and use a coarse technical funnel to sort them. the second is we can't just pick good colleagues because the regulatory and litigation environment imposes selection criteria where we have to evaluate all these applicants equally.

these aren't justifications for the confrontational interview filter, but some upstream factors that are worth picking at to see if something better could become a solution to them.

Stuck in AI Hell: What to do in post LLM world
The other dark side of implementations using CRDTs is the infrastructure load. I wrote about this [0] in depth previously, and Supabase wrote an article [1] a couple of years ago about a CRDT extension for Postgres which I'm happy to discover agrees with my empirical findings.

If you're going to use CRDTs, do yourself a favor and either use Redis or similar (though the amount of memory being consumed is painful to think about), or MyRocks [2] (or anything else based on RocksDB / LevelDB). Whatever you do, do _not_ back it with an RDBMS, and especially not Postgres.

What to Know About Gadhimai Festival–and Its Controversial Mass Animal Sacrifice
I don't know what the big fuss is about. There are clearly rules in places that force you to declare your voting budgets and where the money comes from. Seems pretty clear. So saying you spent 0€ and then have ads everywhere and _win_, is clearly illegal. In smaller scale, this could have been omitted but this is just blatant fraud.

For people who say this undermines democracy, I think this is perfectly the opposite. We have rules in democracy that need to be followed. If he now declares he got the money from Russia and China or wherever and people still vote for him, so be it.

Well yeah, it is really bad, which is why I have no qualms with this project.

Now you get it.
I won't argue if I had a bunch of other activities consuming most of my bandwidth that weren't bringing in any money. If you really need cash though, I might consider lower risk, lower reward options on at least a part-time basis as well though. Doing a startup isn't exactly a high ROI activity in general--especially in a max-hype area.
I don’t know if that is true. Not all Russian people (or even a majority?) are in favor of the war. But they still need to eat.
I know – I've been playing with Ollama on my MBP and it's great.

My specific mention of Tails was because it's designed as an ephemeral OS for the paranoid / extremely security conscious, so it would make sense that they would consider something that allows further obfuscation of a user's identity.
I know at least one of the maintainers in the list, I know they live in the US and their project is something they maintain as a hobby with no expectation of retribution, and I know they are probably ecstatic to receive a small grant.
They dont manage to get by.

It's the same thing as in New York, just different currency.

Locals inheritted their apartments from parents or granparents, those with good jobs get a mortgage or burn their salaries on rent.

And the rest lives with roommates. Or spends hours ona bus or train to work.

Hence the fertility crisis in Central Europe: people dont want to have kids when they struggle with rent.

In Central Europe there is the saying that prices are western, but salaries are eastern.

Propert also gets bought by foreign investors like in Canada.
I think this is a really interesting model for providing funding to open source software. There's something about the "Index Fund" approach that is really appealing. I also think it's interesting that the author was both balancing "value" and "risk". I do wonder, if this became a more dominant strategy for providing funding for open source how you would deal with a couple potentially adverse incentives:

1. Publishing the exact formula for funding is great for transparency, but then leads to an incentive to game the system to capture funding. Doing things like breaking your project up into many small packages, or reducing the number of maintainers are not good for the ecosystem but may lead to more funding. Also, there starts to be an incentive to juice download numbers.

2. In general, rewarding "risk" with additional funding seems like it creates an adverse incentive. This seems like a really tricky problem, because lack of funding is a major source of risk. It seems like there could be a pendulum effect here if you're not careful. Is there a way to structure the funding so it encourages long term "de-risking"?

That's only because you have enough money.

There's plenty of people who are still financially short after a 40h job.
Given the dense amount of wisdom packed into this comment I checked out your profile. Both your current projects look extremely impressive and polished. And viable! Keep up the good work! It’s inspiring to see that in light of the obvious difficult lessons you’ve had to learn along the way.

Having learned many of the same lessons as you I can 100% backup everything you said in your “sum it up” paragraph!

The only caveat I would add is to the “make an MVP with AI”. I think MVPs generated directly out of ChatGPT/Claude are so easy now (or at least it can appear so on the face of it) that many people are just barely going beyond that - but to any experienced eye, that approach is quite transparent and can look very low-value (even if the idea is actually a good one).

Now if that person is a skilled salesperson then that might work.

But, for most people, I think it’s still very important to demonstrate good instincts, taste and strategic/commercial understanding when building such an MVP. And that means editing and shaping the output just enough to meet your vision for the product. So to agree with you - definitely, 100%, use AI as much as possible - but don’t assume that you can put zero work in on top and have that MVP be effective. Because the 10 year old down the street has the exact same tool as you - so if you are just relying verbatim on that tool’s output- it’s going to be hard to stand out.

I’d still definitely agree to spend as little time as physically possible on the MVP - with the above caveat.

Having said all that… a lot of historical wisdom on the topic of MVPs has been turned upside down since gen AI became mainstream, so on the flip side you could argue: create 1000 MVPs in an hour, publish them all, see what generates interest…*

Hmm.. I think I just argued against my own point.

* (I’m not really seriously suggesting anyone do this, but I’m also not entirely discounting this as an approach either…)

I watch this project since a few years and they make good progress. To whoever is interested in open source Computer Algebra Systems, there are of course plenty of more mature solutions. Classical ones such as GNU Octave or Maxima but also "modern ones" such as SAGEmath, Symbolics.jl or sympy. In particular, there is a broad range from symbolic libraries such as GiNaC up to "battery included" IDEs like SAGEmath. The community is vivid and amazing, for instance SAGEmath basically pioneered the web notebook interface which today brought us Jupyter in all its fashions.

I personally love the LISPy style of Mathematica (MMA) but of course it is not the (only) the core which makes MMA so powerful but the super large library which has not only instance industry-leading solutions for basic topics such as symbolic integration, 2D/3D graphics or finite element methods but also a plethora of special purpose domains such as bioinformatics. I guess Mathics has a good clone of the core but lacks, of course, all the libraries. It is, by the way, the same logic as with Matlab and its many "toolkits" compared to the numpy clone. However, the python movement brought many novel codes into the numpy world which no more work on Matlab.
So you are saying that if I generate stories on different worlds as new data, a model cannot learn from that?

This isn't anthropomorphizing - it's generating data. Generating data is not a uniquely human endevor.

Right. But doctors are regulated by government and the regulation is for a good reason but it also has bad side effects.

Doctors are not part of a free market. Supply is regulated like a cartel.
This is cool: good, reasonable methodology (I like the value x risk idea).

Two requests:
1) could you easily add the projects to the CSV file (maybe one column left of the user: "projectA;projectB;...")
2) could you share the code (understanding that it's rough and lots of hand-curation)

I've long given to EFF, FSF, and other projects sporadically, but this method seems excellent and expandable and customizable, maybe something like:
1) identify the packages on your machine (or used by your team)
2) score them
3 donate based on score

DRM Framebuffers are also the preferred way to interface with Vulkan renderers in GTK. For example, if you wanted to make a game scene editor with gnome, you could render the scene to a DRM Framebuffer and use a GTKGraphicsOffload widget to indicate that it will continue to be updated outside of the event loop.

In practice I’ve never been able to get this work. Static images totally fine. Graphics offloading fails and manually refreshing the image causes some sort of memory leak in the GPU

It might be! I'd expect that at some point this would be a natural progression.

However, very often you don't need that - you can just compile individual script files which merge together code, package and file references. No need to maintain a separate folder with a separate .fsproj - simply #open some_utils.fsx, #r "nuget: FsHttp" or #r "SomePackage.dll" and 'fspk my_script.fsx'.

Initially, I did not know this existed, but it turned out a friend of mine wrote this tool and I have been using it ever since.
Paycheck to paycheck means just that - your income is balancing exactly your expenses. This doesn't mean that you are not living in modest luxury. Having enough money to cover essentials is just definition of - at the edge of poverty. Paycheck to paycheck is about (anti) fragility. They overlap strongly in the bottom part of the income ladder and diverge as you go up. You may be financially vulnerable even if pulling a lot of income. This doesn't mean that you can't get easier out of a hole if you fall with higher income, but paycheck to paycheck evaluate the chance of falling into it.
A standardized test is considerably more standardized than a leetcode interview though. Not to mention you take it once and then provide the scores to everyone. My process with taking the cpa exam a single time was a much better experience than random leetcode problems every time.
