I have no special knowledge but based on experience I think YC startups will be fine, and IIRC most founders don't come in on H1-B visas.

However, we're going to do another AMA with Peter Roberts soon (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=proberts). Watch out for that and ask your question there!
I have a MIDI keyboard and an interest in learning, but it's not hooked up to my computer most of the time.

But if this is strictly for learning fingering and not for identifying chords by ear, I guess it's reasonable to require a keyboard. Otherwise you can't use it anyway.

Related question: Some people are suggesting keyboards that are only MIDI controllers; but that doesn't seem sufficient, because in that instance where will the sounds come from? Are there default sounds that will be triggered if you hook up a controller-only keyboard?
There is no problem with the proof except the assumption that the value in the limit is the same as the value at infinity. If we simply define pi(n) as a function from N U {inf}, which gives the value that "pi" takes at the nth step of the process, and pi(inf) as the value that it actually takes for the circle, then we simply have a function where lim n->inf pi(n) ≠ pi(lim n->inf). For all finite n, it equals 4, and then at infinity it equals 3.1415... .

There are ways to reformulate the above so that "infinity" isn't involved but this is the clearest way to think of it. It isn't much different than the Kronecker delta function delta(t), which is 1 at t=0 and 0 elsewhere. We have lim t->0 delta(t) ≠ delta(lim t->0 t).
So many think they (their company) have “Big Data” but don’t.
Thank you for pointing that out! It sounds like height and proportions are a big challenge for finding the right fit. Could you share more about what typically doesn’t work for you? For example, do you struggle more with sleeve lengths, pant lengths, or overall proportions? Understanding this will help us tailor the experience better.
WLOG just means the other cases follow from the one case. There is no implication about how hard it is to get to the other cases, although generally it is easy and you don't bother spelling it out exactly.
Yes you can and there is at least one example, a web application where you enter a URL and the LLM automatically generates the page including links, you click a link, the LLM fills it in on the fly. I can't remember the name of it.

But they mention things like Oasis in the article that use a specialized model to generate games frame-by-frame.
I have heard fresh eggs making superior poached eggs for the same reason.
The article goes into that when seasoned traders were given the same test and had 60-130% gains, compare to the single digit gains and losses of the students

The seasoned traders:

This has always stood out to me about these trading challenges. They make it seem like you must always be invested and a lot of lay people fall for that.

Be wary of introducing the usage of LLMs at an age where instead the development of critical reasoning should be encouraged. LLMs aren't necessarily inherently bad, but they are SEDUCTIVE and over time it may become very easy to immediately reach for an LLM the moment you have a problem instead of taking some time to quietly ponder on your own.

Reasoning and problem solving is a CRAFT, and if it's not practiced it will atrophy.

Let's not fall into the trap of "LLMs are just a tool like a calculator". An LLM is like a calculator where you can just say, "Here's a math problem please solve it for me."
Show HN: Find in-person work in NYC that is actually convenient
I've been working on a site that helps you find in-person work in NYC that is actually convenient for you.

I cofounded a remote startup in 2021 that I ended up leaving after a few years because I found the remote culture to be very isolating and I didn't feel like it would lead to us building a successful company. I wanted to work closely with people who I could learn from and enjoy the day with.

When I was looking around for my next opportunity, I found it frustrating that I had no way to filter for jobs that were close to where I live. I find restaurants, apartments, and things to do in NYC by looking at a map so why shouldn't I be able to find a job, the place I go to most frequently, on a map as well?

Many companies have started implementing return to office policies that unfortunately don't make sense for a lot of their employees and many early stage startups are only hiring in-person/hybrid roles. I thought that a tool like this would help those companies find talent that wants to work in person and allow job seekers to index on location in a way they haven't able to before.

I recognize that in-person/hybrid work isn't for everybody and I'm not here to claim it's better than remote work. I just wanted to build this site to give people the power to find good jobs, companies, and teams that are convenient for them.

Let me know if you have any feedback or want to see it started in another city!

And who is building monuments[0] honoring Bandera[1] and names streets[2] after him all over Ukraine?

Local governments and various advocacy groups, with no support at the federal level. Meanwhile, a solid component of mainstream Russian society also continues to honor (and more broadly legitimize/normalize) a certain dead fascist icon:

A surprisingly large number of Russians even believe that Stalin had mystical powers. As recently as 2003, about 750,000 people voted for a party that aimed to continue what it said was Stalin's attempt to battle the ancient Egyptian priesthood of Ra, which supposedly runs the world from its base in Switzerland.

https://theweek.com/articles/467027/why-many-russians-still-...

In classrooms across Russia, students are taught out of a modern textbook which represents Stalin as simply an efficient leader who had the unfortunate responsibility to resort to extreme measures to protect Russia and ensure its leadership role on a global scale.[57] A poll in 2019 found that 70% of Russians believed that Stalin had a positive impact on Russian history, while 51% of people in Russia viewed Stalin with a positive attitude.[58]

Thank you for sharing this, Ryan! I’d love to understand more, when you say some models’ styles aren’t ‘you,’ is it the clothing types, colors, or overall vibe that doesn’t align? Also, what would make finding clothes that match your style easier? For example, do you prefer certain categories, like casual or formal styles?
I don't get it, Big Dan.
That is actually the focus of my question and comment:

> > *I threw away my smartphone 4-ish months ago,*

> *What did you replace it with* (if you did edit: scratch that, I brain froze and was thinking of "did you replace it with a regular phone") ? Most accounts I read of people ditching their smartphones mentioned they started carrying an ultra light laptop or small candy bar computer (for instance). Basically increasing inconvenience to reduce usage.

Now if you could stop hijacking the thread and assuming I don't know smartphones can be tweaked that'd be cool.

Indeed. I kept hearing "Wayland solves problems with two monitors at different refresh rates" But when I set up mismatching monitors, X11 didn't skip a beat (1440p native/120Hz, 1440p (being fed to a 4k native monitor)/60Hz

Conversely, the worst issue I had with dual monitors was with Wayland: Wayfire thought it was a brilliant idea to not support "window spanning two monitors" as default policy.

It feels to me like Wayland, GNOME and Systemd all come from the same sort of developer brain infection making them build vast, all-inclusive structures that are explicitly hostile to anyone who doesn't have the exact same underlying assumptions and needs.

I think the point about it being unscientific is completely fair, as far as a press release aiming to appear scientific is concerned.

However, I also think there is a tendency among well-educated people in physics to dismiss philosophical questions out of hand. It's fair enough when the point is "let's focus on the physics as it's hard enough", but questions of interpretation have merit in their own right.

Thank you for highlighting this, it’s an important point. We recognize that not everyone fits into ‘male’ or ‘female’ categories, and we want to improve here. Could you share more about what would make the experience feel inclusive? For instance, do you feel body shape or fit-based categories would work better instead of gendered labels?
I'd have to agree. It doesn't matter WSJ, NYT, WaPo, LAT, Trib, all garbage.
When I started to see grammar mistakes and typos in the NYT, I knew it was over. They were optimizing for clicks not correctness. The infotainment that started on TV and the destruction of revenue by aggregation has created an environment where largescale news as it was is not profitable (enough), but clickbait is. There may be individual journalists who care, but not a single senior editor that does. We have achieved post truth media. The news cycle is literally about UFOs.

edit: I will say that's a profit opportunity both for those who can spread fake meme news and for those who can bother to see through it, but for the vast middle it is idocracy.
Generalizing always misses things. I'm 65, and until recently, sometimes worked 15 hour days with no breaks. I value "being able to work" increasingly more with each passing year.

It's possible only because I've a had a lot of years to learn and experiment with how to have MORE "firepower". I had so many health issues when I was younger, I couldn't accomplish much. It affected my life goals and perspective tremendously. At the same time, if I don't do enough things right now, I suffer faster. Even with my issues at a younger age, I could get away with much more when I was younger.
Thanks! That's what I'm hoping. I'm already going down the YouTube hole of KiCAD...

Good read. I actually hope that this AI boom commoditizes phone/laptop devices much the way web browsers do for OSes. I'm sure many are die-hards will be like BBM users, but if our interface becomes saying something into a mic and having the answer in audio or shown on AR glasses, there's not much to the device itself, only the processing.
>where judges have been obviously wrong.

True. But if Qualcomm think they are not playing any tricks, playing by the rules clearly stated in the contract. You can bet they will appeal and fight on even if they lose.

A lot of juicy details will come out during the trial. Just like the Apple vs Qualcomm case ( Where Apple was clearly in the wrong ). We will all know soon and make up our own judgement.
I actually like Deno's take on things, the ability to "drop privs" (or "allow-list") is super powerful.

Starlark is supposedly a limited version of python (https://github.com/bazelbuild/starlark), but what if you could say in python itself:

def foo():
"""use strict; use no_func_calls; use idempotent; use no_loops; ..."""
...checked python here...

...or being able to make assertions within a body of a for loop or something.

I feel that programming languages need to evolve to deal with a hostile dependency ecosystem, eg:

import leftpad as lp with {
network: false,
filesystem: false,
environment: false,
max_cycles: 100_000,
max_mem: 10_000,
...etc...
}

...this is purely arbitrary and hypothetical, of course, but programs become safer when made from safer, more-structured components.

We're long past the "single programmer write all the code" phase, and in to the spiral of exponential code+complexity, but no programming languages give you the ability to wrestle with that complexity.

The exciting part is there are different concepts of it that start from different foundations and arrive at the same thing. It’s suggestive that our understanding is incomplete and there are deeper levels of understanding to uncover. And it _could_ just be the case that the universe started with low entropy for no reason, but if there are reasons and we ponder them it could lead to some massive epiphanies in physics/cosmology.

There's a lot of talk in this thread about age-related wisdom. One thing that didn't take me long to figure out was that this...

> your kids [...] might even help with your business.

...is a really, really bad idea. N=1 and everything but I've seen this backfire far more times than it has worked out. A few of the more common scenarios:

- Somebody loans somebody money even though both parties know (and refuse to admit) that the loan will never be repaid. Much consternation and gnashing of teeth ensues a year later when the inevitable happens.

- The business owner asks for a project to be done and it ends up not being done to their satisfaction because they didn't feel the need to spec it formally/properly which then leads to partial or non-payment for said project. Everybody is unhappy and worse off.

- Long, difficult work days with somebody that you live with continue after you get home at 2AM because you don't have time apart to process the interpersonal conflict from the day. Occasional distaste turns into outright protracted hostility.

- Friends of friends are hired, do a bad job because of entitlement or incompetence, then get terminated for cause. This creates hostility between the business owner and the person that referred them in the first place. Much shit is talked and everybody's reputation is tarnished.

- Non-related employees develop bad attitudes towards related ones because of perceived nepotism. The team at large then underperforms due to low trust and bad morale.

Occasionally things are resolved amicably but I've seen multiple families outright broken because they chose to do business together. Best to steer clear altogether in my experience.

Yes, we (and plenty of others) have prior data showing that perturbations (things that you can do to cells, like knocking out genes or putting drug-candidates on them) have different effects at different times, so we are excited to see the potential for time course imaging.

I work with technology and research management at a multi national industrial company. This includes strategy and roadmapping for specific products, but also broadly following research trends and networking with universities. I did a phd in theoretical computer science and stumbled into by accident. It is interesting following research but also see it applied and working with business from the ground up. It is a lot of stakeholder management and knowledge dissemination which I enjoy. Lots of internal networking and relations and informal power. Besides job, I am on the board a handful of volunteer organizations or non-profits. Last year I also taught a semester which I missed a lot from academia. I need many different things to keep my interest so the job works well for me.

> I would say that any state that we can't measure is not a physical state.

Ok, so if I understand correctly for you microstates are not physical states and it doesn't make sense to even consider that at any given moment the system may be in a particular microstate. That's one way to look at things but the usual starting point for statistical mechanics is quite different.
The GPU could do the equivalent of fprintf, if the concerned peripherals used only memory-mapped I/O an the IOMMU would be configured to allow the GPU to access directly those peripherals, without any involvement from the OS kernel that runs on the CPU.

This is the same as on the CPU, where the kernel can allow a user process to access directly a peripheral, without using system calls, by mapping that peripheral in the memory space of the user process.

In both cases the peripheral must be assigned exclusively to the GPU or the user process. What is lost by not using system calls is the ability to share the peripheral between multiple processes, but the performance for the exclusive user of the peripheral can be considerably increased. Of course, the complexity of the user process or GPU code is also increased, because it must include the equivalent of the kernel device driver for that peripheral.

Same. Im not sure if growing up watching liveleak and browsing 4chan made me a better or worse person.

I think the real effect on my life is that I was addicted to the internet and video games and didn’t socialize enough. My life turned out good, I’m married and have a decent life, but I think I missed out a lot in my university years because I was playing counter strike instead of going out and socializing and making friends. I look back now at how much time I squandered (tens of thousands of hours) but I guess many people feel this way about their younger self.
