It's a baseline which, given the current value of money in mind, in most people's heads defines someone as obscenely/aspirationally wealthy (or even having a multi-generation wealth), yet not someone who could just be endlessly spending this wealth on stupid stuff (having several megayachts, for example) without eventually running out.

Hypothetically, if some government some day sets this amount, then it will pave the way for further adjustments.
The problem with the analogy is that GHA's interface is quite thick.

I have a mi50 with 16gb of hbm thats collecting dust (its Vega bases, so it can play games, I guess) because I don’t want to bother setting up a system with Ubuntu 20.04, the last version of Ubuntu the last version of ROCM that supported the MI50 works on.

With situations like this, its not hard to see why Nvidia totally dominates in the compute/ai market.
About naming things, in the computer science world, there is this often repeated saying, as well as countless books and articles about naming things, often contradicting each others. From coding style guides to URL schemes.

But on the other side, there is administration. I work on projects with names like FRPPX21, in category PX23, same idea for tax forms, and just about everything administrative. Should I write code with variable names like that, I would be yelled at by the unfortunate guy who gets to read it.
I ride western and I rope, everything in the world of western tack is like that, be it vaquero, or the mainstream pageantry world. Well established brands like Tony Lama or Lucchese have relatively recently, as in in the past 10-20 years, switched their manufacturing methods to that of modern casual boot, so that their boots are just not quality enough to use for riding. Newcomers to the field, like Tecovas are not much better. obligatory, I have a few pairs of tecovas sitting next to hand me down real cowboy boots of yore and tecovas are already in worse shape from just few years of riding. People just don't know what a well made western boot feels like, nor do they put them through rigorous stress of cowboying, I mean, it's fashion, so if it looks the part but feels like cheap Chinese boot which is what they tend to be, it's good enough. Well it's not good enough under saddle. That is not to say that you don't still have a bunch of cheap Chinese tack from tractor supply, but the difference in quality and feel is stark. People myself included tend to have lists of phones numbers of various last cowboy masters that can braid you a mecate, or a leadline, or work with leather to fix your priceless, because irreplaceable saddle.
How much did you make per year? How many jobs did you have? How many jobs did you hop?

I wouldn't call it "losing my idealism," but, rather "understanding that everything is a lot more complex than my simple young mind could deal with."

I'm probably more "idealistic" than I have ever been; it's just that I no longer have the silly "Let's just do this one simple thing" attitude. I've just found that getting places is always a lot more difficult than we think. Usually, it's people, and all their messy personal issues, that gum up the works.

The good news is, is that I am actually accomplishing more than I did, when I was younger. I'm devoting less energy, and it is often more frustrating, but shit gets done. A big reason, is that I understand myself, and the people around me, a lot better than I used to. They are no longer "NPCs" in my Game of Life.

As to the article, I seriously feel for the author, but I am not exactly in their shoes. I don't have anything against them, but their cause is not my cause. I don't have a dog in this race. I have nothing at all against trans folks. Many of my friends are varying types of LGBTQI+ folks. If I'm not going to bed with them, then who they love, and what they do, when I'm not around, isn't my concern. I'd usually like them to be happy, and support their choices, as long as they don't interfere with my life. I'm even willing to go out of my way, in some cases, to support them (that's what friends do).

The one thing that is almost guaranteed to make our cause to go floop, is insisting that everyone else is either with us, or against us. This is especially annoying, when our cause is important to only a small minority of stakeholders.

For some reason, almost everyone in our life ends up in the "against" column, and many of them started as people that actually supported us, but weren't willing to go much farther than that. So now, they are actively working against us, as we declared them to be "enemy combatants." The "woke" stuff caused exactly this reaction. It's not just left-leaning stuff, either. Activists of every stripe, do the same thing, and then act all puzzled, as to why everyone seems to be against them.

As Dr. Phil might say, "So...how's that working out for you?"
Could you elaborate on this a bit more? If your company sponsors you to come on an L1 visa, how can you simultaneously apply for an H1B? And in any case, how can you get the H1B at all without winning the lottery (assuming your employer is subject to the cap)?
Did Elon Musk Appear to Sieg Heil at Trump Inauguration?
Great. We are in agreement that a person who engages in odious behavior is not worthy of support. As such Donald Trump is not worthy of support.

Worse than not trying is trying and experiencing burnout and/or destitution.

When you fail, it can be due to many things. Not everything in the world is controllable. This is one of the reasons why expecting zero ”What ifs” at the end of your post-mortem is unreasonable.
I just don't see how you can stop it from going off the rails though. For linear adventures, you have to carefully pick which items and actions are available to avoid breaking puzzles e.g. if the LLM lets you break a window which creates a shard of glass, you could use the glass to cut a rope, when you were suppose to use a knife. It would probably be able to come up with decent reasons to explain why you can't do stuff though haha, which is often a part of good puzzle design e.g. "I don't want to draw attention by breaking the window".
The future is now: Modern houses around here often feature a "Ventilation system with heat recovery": You get fresh air that's heated using the air it replaces. And just let the system run 24/7. You can also recover/regulate humidity.

These systems can sometimes be retrofit into older buildings (we're doing that for our 1950s SFH), but the necessary piping is often labor intensive to install and hence prices can be insane (we were able to combine it with other measures and significantly reduced costs - I installed pipes while the roof was removed). It's much easier for new buildings of course.
Cymer was the best purchase they ever made. But it also means they're totally beholden to US export controls.

It's not that the big players make it difficult for you to send/receive from "your own domain". It's more the underlying provider infrastructure. If you pick basically any mail provider, it'll work out just fine also with your own domain.

This resonates so deeply with me as an ADHDer. In the sense that I abhor it and have become clinically depressed in such situations.

It’s also why “evolutionarily” the farm-and-plan neurotypes became so numerically prevalent over the forage-and-explore ADHD neurotypes with the advent of farming and modern society.

That’s my working hypothesis at least. Also makes me think that’s why beer and alcohol were such an important aspect in Egyptian and other ancient societies. Perhaps believing that is just what helps me sleep at night having a semi-disfuctional prefrontal cortex. ;)

Still it fascinates me that ADHD neurotypes persist at a stubborn 1/20 ratio in almost all large societies even in cultures such as Japan’s where one might assume ADHD traits would be heavily discouraged. As in ADHDers are the required lubricant to keep the bureaucratic machines from rusting up and so persist.

As a descriptive counterpoint look at the imagination of the “perfect bureaucracy” in Star Trek: the Borg. The only way they progress technologically is by assimilating new peoples. I hope someone pursue this as a post-graduate thesis at some point.
I might be just being a bitter sceptic (although I'm probably not bitter because I'm very excited by their results), but some of the spending stats feel slightly too good to be true to me. But I can't really claim to have an insider-quality intuition.
I think there are upsides and downsides to starting young. On the one hand, you don't have much to lose, so failure is softer. On the other hand, you're missing some experience that would be useful.

I worked for a startup whose founder was a super young guy who had never had a job before being CEO. He was missing experiences like "what do I hate when my boss does" and so needed to repeat all the same mistakes. This resulted in things like... postmortem reviews with action items like "we should dock people's pay if installs are done incorrectly" instead of "we should ensure that the install crews have the tools they need to do the install correctly". (That action item was one of the few battles there that I won. We gave every installer a toolbox containing the tools to do the job. This improved the success of installs greatly. But who needs a meeting to come up with an "idea" like this?)
What do you build your web app on – B2B SaaS
I am curious on what tools the YC companies use to build their web app. Do they start out with a template like Material UI provides? What are the common ones?

The answer is simpler: it's not that big of a problem to the people that would need to solve it (visa, banks)

Yes, it' billions of dollars per year, but that's on a denominator of trillions.

> In 2022, global payment card transaction volume surpassed $40 trillion, with the U.S. accounting for over $9.5 trillion 1 . If we consider the $5 billion in unauthorized purchases reported by Security.org 2 , the percentage of fraudulent transactions in the U.S. would be approximately 0.05%.

They don't and it isn't. On this issue terfs share policy goals with the far right almost exactly, to the point where self-identified white nationalists keep showing up to support them at their actions. They used to experience or feign discomfort about this but since 2022 or so they are openly allied in some regions, especially the UK.

And they never want to let you in for a full cut, they want to give you like 1% of the company in the event that you're able to build the entire thing out from scratch. If you discuss modest technical limitations they'll berate you for corrupting their vision.
Well, it's coherent I guess. But you are just selecting for being convincing. Why not try to decide what you think each candidate will actually do, rather than caring about what they say, when you describe their lack of honesty in terms I would reserve for just the worst of them?

Hard to say from my perspective.

I think AMDs offer was fair (full remote access to several test machines), then again just giving tinycorp the boxes on their terms with no strings attached as a kind of research grant would have earned them some goodwill with that corner of the community.

Most people, myself included, struggle to understand what actually makes us happy, what our needs truly are, and how to balance the pressures of the world around us (real or perceived, necessary or irrelevant).

We leave a lot on the table in terms of doing less and getting more — meaning, contentment, joy, safety — from our lives.

Sage is a Python (and the snippet you pasted works fine in Python). And I'm also curious what would qualify that code as "horrid." I'd make light suggestion to improve performance by making `seen` a set right off the bat, but for this size of problem, that sort of detail is unimportant. Calling somebody's code "horrid" without even understanding what it's doing isn't a productive approach to, well; anything, really.
I’ll go so far as to say the massive add on/plugin list and featuritis of CI/CD tools is actively harmful to the sanity of your team.

The only functionality a CI tool should be providing is:

- starting and running an environment to build shit in

- accurately tracking success or failure

- accurate association of builds with artifacts

- telemetry (either their own or integration) and audit trails

- correlation with project planning software

- scheduled builds

- build chaining

That’s a lot, but it’s a lot less than any CI tool made in the last 15 years does, and that’s enough.

There’s a big difference for instance between having a tool that understands Maven information enough to present a build summary, and one with a Maven fetch/push task. The latter is a black box you can’t test locally, and your lead devs can’t either, so when it breaks, it triggers helplessness.

If the only answer to a build failure is to stare at config and wait for enlightenment, you fucked up.
>It could be argued that 0-based indexing was the mistake since it actually conflates two concepts, the memory layout in the machine, and the actual sequence you want to index.

This could be argued to be a feature. That it isn't conflating the concepts but communicating both.
I’ve had it and it doesn’t taste that bad. If you don’t mind blue cheese, it’s not that much worse.

Shame. No pictures. No code excerpts. No examples.
In my most recent job, I earned $160k. During my ~15 year software development career, I worked for a total of 4 companies, none overlapping, none that required more than 40 hours per week. I saved ~60% of my take-home pay every year, and invested it in a 60/40 mix of VTSAX / VTIAX. I'm married, and my wife made $8,000 last year. I had to save enough to cover our collective expenses, otherwise this timeline would've been even faster!

If you're unfamiliar, this is an excellent introduction to this concept: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-si...

It's extremely simple. It's boring. It's slow (but much faster than the alternative!). And it works.
I do hope you write the entire entire essay.

Guess my question is did you have any plans what to do with that freedom? Or did the vision just stop with freedom?

Must be I was less ambitious than you. I too started out with goal of tenure and financial independence. 3 years in on tenure track I figured it was easier just to get financial independence and give myself tenure than to play someone's game.

One I reached financial independence (probably a much lower threshold than your), I didn't have any trouble find trouble finding things to fill my days with fulfilling activities that I had long put off. Always fun stuff to learn.

So interested to learn if it was that you still had something you felt you had to prove? Just plan inertia?

Can really put my finger on it, but what if in "I am (not) a failure" essay in addition "Lesson Learned" for each attempt, you had a "Joy Experienced" (perhaps too corny) section as well.
I never said people were better off in one or the other nor is this a discussion about that. This is a discussion of the societal differences driving startups and risky investments.
> To this day I'm pretty sure that plan would have worked if we had actually executed it. It was a brilliant plan if I do say so myself. In fact, it was so brilliant that it convinced Richard Branson to acquire the company before we launched for $10M. We started the company as Smart Charter, but we launched as Virgin Charter.

It's noteworthy that he's portraying selling before launch as a failure, and while ultimately the acquirer didn't follow his vision and the business didn't pan out (and perhaps the author never even got to liquidate his shares), it's still arguably more of a success than Loopt (raised $39M, sold for $43.4M), which Sam Altman and his backers had no reservations about portraying as a huge success that springboarded him to YC president and later to AI kingmaker.
Most people don’t want to start a business. They might fantasize but it’s not something they would enjoy doing. It’s fine to realize you have other goals and to work on them instead.

"Specialize" is not quite the right word. In trade economics (from the very crudest level), trade is beneficial to BOTH parties EVEN when etc etc etc. i.e. higher profit. It's really hard to beat trade.

It's not that anyone needs to specialize as in "otherwise it won't work". It's that it's more profitable and so people will tend to prefer that plus some extra money in their pocket.

And it's not specialize as in only do wine, cheese and perfume and nothing else. It's systematically favor some things that you are relatively better at than others, and trade for the others (not even 100%, you can export some plastic parts and import some similar plastic parts at the same time). Even if the other country could themselves be better at it. So for France, engineering of all kinds, wine, cheese, perfume, meds, etc but also any manufacturing that by chance has gotten and remained strong (say, like airplanes, some electrical equipment, whatever else that really any other country also could possibly manufacture).

No, I think the investment account with no tax on gains is fine. I'm talking about things like "create a company, take a salary that's just over the lowest tax threshold, get 0% infinite term company loans from yourself" - things that your average person wouldn't be doing (unlike the free-gains-account.)
Commenting from the Netherlands. My take is this:

If you want the masses of households to convert to electricity, then electricity should be dirt cheap (and stay cheap) and any solution should be idiot-proof.

Electricity being cheap gives people the confidence to make the large investments in home optimization (i.e. isolation), a heat pump, EV, etc.

The upper middle class will convert regardless but the big masses need this carrot, else it will all move to a grinding halt. I don't care how we make electricity consistently cheap, I'm just saying its a precondition.

As for simplicity. I mostly live around the working class, not the educated glass. They are unable to grasp an energy contract. There's just too many variables at play. They would struggle to understand the article too.

And that's just the conceptual part. The actual custom implementation part can be complicated as well. People are overwhelmed by it and feel they're running an energy central, watching it like a penny stock trader.

The goal is worthy, but when it's expensive, complicated to understand and hard to use, people will resist it.
I'm pretty sure the hiring numbers still show white men have it easier than all other groups. Even with "DEI" policies.

Likewise it made neural nets trainable on home PCs, at sizes that weren’t in the past. Unfortunately for GP as well as for many people in disciplines I quoted, problem sizes grew farther, esp now that compute+electricity directly translates to cash.
