Stock buybacks sound like they could be a fair way to structure this deal. What if the company never goes public/gets bought? How do I ensure that I get something out of this if the business becomes very profitable?

Thank you for your comment.
In the video I saw, and of course it is by the Hedy team, about Hedy, but it showed kids very much being excited that the keywords were in their language. There are a lot of kids in the world and meeting them where they are is important.
On the iPhone I get redirected to the Apple Store page for the Apple Watch. Nice humor.

Yea no shit, that's because meta is behind and Noone would care about them if it wasn't open source
Yep, that is probably where my confusion came from.
First problem with that demo is that putting all your clothes in a dryer is a very American thing. Much of the world pegs their washing on a line.
Alloca is allocations on the stack, seems the kernel might be stack based, but the os itself has it's own implementation of malloc. Which is heap based.

I'm also seeing references to rtos as the true underlying os though.
Are they reproducible? Shipping binaries in JS packages is dodgy AF - a Jia Tan attack waiting to happen.

One of the things I like about node_modules is that it's not purely source code and it's not purely build artifacts.

You can read the code and you can usually read the actual README/docs/tests of the package instead of having to find it online. And you can usually edit library code for debugging purposes.

If node_modules is taking up a lot of space across a bunch of old projects, just write the `find` script that recursively deletes them all; You can always run `npm install` in the future when you need to work on that project again.
Australia and Nea Zealand are "other" ?? Ok, I guess. If it's about economy scale, makes sense.
This guy is now behind two of the products that I wish the most: the Small Android Phone and the Pebble watch. I hope they succeed! :)
Only my first job after university was via a regular advertisement and application. The other jobs and contracts happened thanks to:

- one of my bosses

- me talking at an event and meeting another speaker

- getting recommended by a person that knew me
Interesting. Same Facebook, refuses take action on reports submitted on fake accounts created to spam people and harassment videos.
In my experience this tactic tends to work well for manager positions and backfire easily for technical positions.

If a manager screws things up they get pro or side moted. If an expert screws up and leaves technical debt behind, they just get a bad name.

The perception only makes sense if it is "that's it, pack up your stall" for AI.

I think what really happened is day to day trading noise. Nothing fundamentally changed, but traders believed other people believed it would.
It doesn't matter if you "deserve" the raise or not. If someone else will pay you more, the raise is yours.
Great device — lasted 4 years, woke me at 5 AM without disturbing my kids, and handled notifications well. Battery life was about a week, and it was swim-proof. That said, it was cheap... I hope this new version isn’t part of the “dumb” device trend where people spend $500 just to detox, thinking the price will force commitment.
It's not just you: Its typography and design is quite unsuitable to reading. The lines are too long, there is not enough leading, the typeface is badly chosen, and the black blocks everywhere are unpleasant and off putting.
In practice, it simply hasn't mattered all that much.

I also somewhat wish that k8s was programmed with something like the CDK where I could get a nice understandable compiler error about what went wrong and why. But for the most part I'm spending very little time writing helm charts and a lot more time writing my applications. A tweak here or there to the chart has to happen, but that's relatively minor and easy to accomplish.
Ask HN: Is PostgreSQL memory managment more closer tied to kernel than in MySQL?
I mainly mean things like memory paging (storing data that do not "fit" in memory) - I have vivid memories of reading that PostgreSQL is more close tied to kernel's virtual memory system for managing paging of data than MySQL is which according to what I read implements own paging mechanism that "bypasses" kernel's virtual memory. Is such description accurate? Or is it not accurate at all? Or just partially accurate.
Agree with the headline but I think the takeaways are a little too cynical. You don't really have to take such a confrontational approach with future employers.

IMO the biggest takeaway I had after a layoff: Always try to navigate your career so that you are doing something valuable to the business. You can tell based on a lot of clues whether you're in a position that's valuable or if you're forgettable. Moving "toward the money" not only helps job security but it helps your compensation too.

Say for example your team has a stretch of a few months without any new high priority requirements or requests. A young developer might think, "Yay, finally we have enough time to do all that refactoring in the backlog." But in reality, that situation should make you very concerned.
Pebble and Basis Peak (https://www.engadget.com/2016-08-09-basis-peak-obituary.html) are the two biggest smartwatch losses, and probably top 10 gadget losses of all time. Glad to see one of them might have a future.

Such a bad take. Consider examples like AlphaFold, which has revolutionized protein folding and is already having a profound impact on scientific research and healthcare. AI’s potential extends far beyond being compared to a 90s MS Office suite it has profound, wide-ranging implications for society.
At this point you are running thousands of dollars of sensitive electronics outside their design and testing whilst voiding your warrenty. Wearing out a few fans is probably tolerable.
Yea, AI still can't figure out jokes, irony, metaphor etc. Perplexity also quotes Reddit very often, idk how smart is that.

I'd upvote this twice if I could.

It is a great strength of the popular subset of SQL that it is _not_ Turing complete.

>But oh boy was it slow to unpack those bzip2 packages! Since conda had good caching, if you build environments often at all you could be paying more in decompress time than you pay in compression time.

For Paper, I'm planning to cache both the wheel archives (so that they're available without recompressing on demand) and unpacked versions (installing into new environments will generally use hard links to the unpacked cache, where possible).

> If you were building a new system today you'd probably use zstd since it beats gzip on both speed and compression.

FWIW, in my testing LZMA is a big win (and I'm sure zstd would be as well, but LZMA has standard library support already). But there are serious roadblocks to adopting a change like that in the Python ecosystem. This sort of idea puts them several layers deep in meta-discussion - see for example https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-777-how-to-re-invent-the-wh... . In general, progress on Python packaging gets stuck in a double-bind: try to change too little and you won't get any buy-in that it's worthwhile, but try to change too much and everyone will freak out about backwards compatibility.
Getting laid off was the best thing to ever happen to me.

It woke me up from a dream I was in. I believed if you worked hard and provided great value to a startup you would be valued and have a place.

After five years at the company (as employee #1), I was laid off. I realized my mindset was delusional and I swore to never work for anyone ever again.

Several years later, the founder that laid me off asked if I wanted to co-found a new company he was creating. I sorta felt vindicated then :)

At least for R1, folks more technical than me said the optmizations DeepSeek made doesn't make sense unless they were gimped by limited hardware. But the caveate being the limited hardware weren't actually super limited - NVIDIA exported gimped but still powerful hardware that was considerd legal under export controls - but DeepSeek engineers found optimizations to basically unlock full compute power. Maybe something similar.
Google didn't "vacuum up" Pebble. Fitbit bought them (after they were in financial trouble), Google bought Fitbit later so ended up owning the Pebble source code after that.

As the top voted comment on the article says, Google didn't have to do this. It's probably driven by only a few people internally there, and if everyone's cynical and nasty about it, they're less likely to try doing the nice thing again next time. That isn't a good outcome.
That makes sense, because it took 15-20 hours for all that oil to become fully heated and reach its carrying capacity. Your stainless steel tank and passive conduction was obviously not adequate, or you wouldn’t have overheating problems. When it was unsealed, the air convection across the top of the tank carried enough heat that it wouldn’t overheat. In another comment you say you use a passive cooling Noctua heatsink. If you seal up your PC with shrink wrap, your CPU will still overheat due to the lack of that same air convection. In a sealed system, you have to actively move liquid through radiators. You can move as much heat as you want into a heatsink, if there isn’t a way to move heat quickly out of the heatsink, then you aren't doing anything.
Show HN: First iOS app developed in Godot
I just released my first trivia puzzle ios app to the app store developed in Godot. Would love to hear thoughts and would appreciate a review.
This is amazing and I'm so glad this is happening. Please consider keeping the version of the Pebble OS running on the new watches open source to preserve access to it going forward, and if you can keep the hardware designs OSHW as well that would be even better.

I love my Pebble and want them to stay available for as long as possible!
Must save it. Some day it might be needed to do some advertising regarding mutiny against government or to gather people in the post apocalypse time...

Talk about tortured phrases. If you like stuff like that you might like this

https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Higher-Consciousness-Ken-Key...

but personally it loaded my mind up with crap and increased my stress level and might have gotten me checked into a mental hospital if I'd tried it any harder. (I learned years later that if you want to repeat a mantra and have it calm you down and not excite you, you only repeat it when you catch another thought in your mind. If there is no thought, enjoy the silence)

There is a point, I think, for a more granular approach to find specific thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to depression and catch them.

Lately I "hired a writer" for a part of myself that emerges when my schizotypy is acting up and I am under stress and have unproductive conversations. ("The Ogre" got me kicked out of elementary school) Now instead of digging myself deeper trying to explain myself I stick to repeating (externally) a single phrase which has not the slightest hint of malice but is really infuriating to the recipient because it is scientifically formulated with the principles of self-psychology. [2] The recipient bends, stomps off, or loses their shit. I look a little crazy but not as crazy as if I lose my shit and often less crazy than they look; at best the beliefs that underly "The Ogre" are disproven, at worst I don't inflame myself any further -- either way the bad habits are not reinforced.

Overall I am really glad that my current therapist hasn't put me through CBT and the more intensive therapies based on it. My son really benefited from reading some psychology books his therapist gave him, but I'm the kind of person who's going to argue the DSM is wrong about this or that and here are 3 monographs, 5 conference proceedings, and 15 papers to prove it.

I see "As long as my conscience is clean, I will not be put to shame" as a particular "blame the victim" kind of statement (what do you conclude if you feel shame?), the harms of which are well discussed in this classic. [2]

This interview with DeepSeek founder and CEO Liang Wenfeng, also co-founder of the hedge fund backing DeepSeek, might shed some light on the question: https://www.chinatalk.media/p/deepseek-ceo-interview-with-ch...

Some relevant excerpts:

“Because we believe the most important thing now is to participate in the global innovation wave. For many years, Chinese companies are used to others doing technological innovation, while we focused on application monetization — but this isn’t inevitable. In this wave, our starting point is not to take advantage of the opportunity to make a quick profit, but rather to reach the technical frontier and drive the development of the entire ecosystem.”

“We believe that as the economy develops, China should gradually become a contributor instead of freeriding. In the past 30+ years of the IT wave, we basically didn’t participate in real technological innovation. We’re used to Moore’s Law falling out of the sky, lying at home waiting 18 months for better hardware and software to emerge. That’s how the Scaling Law is being treated.

“But in fact, this is something that has been created through the tireless efforts of generations of Western-led tech communities. It’s just because we weren’t previously involved in this process that we’ve ignored its existence.”

“We do not have financing plans in the short term. Money has never been the problem for us; bans on shipments of advanced chips are the problem.”

“In the face of disruptive technologies, moats created by closed source are temporary. Even OpenAI’s closed source approach can’t prevent others from catching up. So we anchor our value in our team — our colleagues grow through this process, accumulate know-how, and form an organization and culture capable of innovation. That’s our moat.

“Open source, publishing papers, in fact, do not cost us anything. For technical talent, having others follow your innovation gives a great sense of accomplishment. In fact, open source is more of a cultural behavior than a commercial one, and contributing to it earns us respect. There is also a cultural attraction for a company to do this.”

The fact the wolf alpha male theory was wrong doesn't imply we don't have alpha dominance for men.

Do we use alpha male gorillas to explain the concept?

(Edit) Or Chimpanzees: https://news.janegoodall.org/2018/07/10/top-bottom-chimpanze...

The highest-ranking chimpanzee in a group is the alpha-male. These males climb their way to the top of the chimpanzee hierarchy, and the ways they choose to do so can differ with the personality of the individual leader. Take two of the alpha males observed in Gombe, Frodo and Freud, for instance. Though they were brothers, each chimp had a very different leadership style. While Freud maintained control through fostering strong alliances and grooming those he wanted to keep under his command, Frodo relied heavily on aggression and brute strength.

One of my long bets is that there are bacteria causing gastroenteritis that do not reproduce on growth media. I doubt very much that all of our problems are caused by chemicals.

There’s too many stories in modern medicine still that sound like, “if we can’t see it, you’re not sick.” There’s at least one more h pylori out there somewhere.

I don't disagree of course. And this is less a critique of the individual men vs our current social structure. A good deal of my work is in helping people free themselves, however, this wouldn't be necessary had it not been a life long project of incarceration.
There is a screenshot in the article of the appeal, confirming 1 and 2. Three follows logically.
restricting is censorship. justified in plenty of cases; only the USA-ians die about free speech

airing an opinion that may or may not reflect the opinions of the writer / user / parent organization is an editorial.
if you are looking for init scripts / systemd / kernel modules / etc in a container, that's not how you should be using a container.
The issue here is that, even with a lot of VRAM, you may be able to run the model, but with a large context, it will still be too slow. (For example, running LLaMA 70B with a 30k+ context prompt takes minutes to process.)
Because at some point, someone decided that 8 kbps makes for an acceptable audio stream per subscriber. And at first, the novelty of being able to call anyone anywhere, even with this awful quality, was novel enough that people would accept it. And most people did until the carriers decided they could allocate a little more with VoLTE, if it works on your phone in your area.
This seems like a non-starter to me - new packages are added to npm all the time, and will alter the word frequency distribution. If you aren't prepared to re-build constantly and accept that the dictionary isn't optimal, then it's hard to imagine it being significantly better than what you build with a more naive approach. Basically - why try to fine-tune to a moving target?
>However it has not and most modern (and premodern) successful companies (by metrics of growth, profit, income, revenue, PE etc) have been founded and grown by "alpha" leaders and staff.

Citation needed. By my estimation, the overwhelming majority of CEOs are doughy, effete city slickers who are the exact opposite of the prototypical "alpha male" image.

Zuckerberg, with his MMA training, might be the only one I can think of that fits the stereotype.

Don't confuse the putative "alpha male" with simply being a douchebag, because I can think of quite a large number of CEOs that fit that latter description, but it's not the same thing.
You believe your llm are alive or not trained by a human. You do not look at it realistically. Do you think llm will you teach or find a way to crime? According to your idea, it should have no censorship; it has to do. I don't trust any human-made stuff. No one has the liability to tell the truth.

I'm somewhat confused to why Google needed to open source the original Pebble source code for this project to exist?

Was it not possible to already create a comparible e-ink screen, long life battery, smart watch without the source code? Is it the pebble branding itself that is important somehow?
This isn't true. int[] decays into an int* but is a different type.

An array member of a struct will have its data allocated contiguously with other struct members (subject to compiler padding). An int* would point outside the struct. This is possible even with variable length arrays. Specifically, you can declare the final member of a struct as an int[] which makes it a "flexible array member". Then you have to malloc the struct to be the sizeof the struct + whatever size you want the array to be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member

This is used in struct sockaddr for generic APIs where the actual struct can be of different sizes.

https://lwn.net/Articles/997094/

This is rather pedantic but the memory model for arrays is important here. If you're iterating over multiple struct members that are arrays, the fact the arrays are stored contiguously in memory is going to matter to SIMD.
Are there any implementations, of either Prolog or other declarative languages, that try to parallelize parts of their search, then have multiple cores or even a GPU take the problem to speed up solutions?
I sometimes think back to my late teens and early 20s and wonder how I got out relatively normal. I feel like in hind sight I was dangerously close to this weird masculine stuff. I consumed alot of it for sure, but never applied to my life. Shout out to misc on bodybuilding.com

Can't tell you why though. Maybe I had enough friends and real life experience to keep me grounded and that's missing for some that get caught up in this communities.
Because these models aren't the end goal. The end goal is AGI in 5-10 years and these models are measures of each company's ability to move toward that goal. If someone is plagiarizing someone else's model, then that seriously erodes everyone's confidence in that company's ability to be the first to AGI and we stop respecting their models, they receive less funding, etc.
> while China is leading on renewable generation.

...and they're also #1 by far on GHG emissions, which doesn't offset even proportionally.

It's like saying Bob might be a murderer, but...he's really works hard to teach each Sunday during Bible study. You're just moving the goalpost (and you never acknowledged how your initial critique about number sense was off base).

> Sure. But the current US position is to leave the Paris accords and drill baby drill

Whataboutism fallacy on top of recency bias, i.e., the US has been the largest producer of natgas since 2009 and petro since 2013.
<< And as if releasing llama is one of the main reasons we got here in AI…

Wait.. are you saying it wasn't? Just releasing it in that form was a big deal ( and heavily discussed on HN, when it happened ). Not to mention, a lot of the work that followed on llama partly because it let researches and curious people dig deeper into internals.
I don't intend to put the blame on the wolf study. I think it's more that we are in captivity, and exhibit deeply unhealthy relationship patterns with pretty much our entire environment from food, to women, to time itself.
You need to be very solvent to stay rational.
You're misidentifying the interaction.

Person 1: I have built this thing that I hope you find useful.

Person 2: I can't use your thing unless it has this feature that my current thing has.

That is a two-way interaction, not a one-way demand. Person 1 is enriched by understanding what features might help them build a product people want.
