I'm not the best person to give advice on this, so take that into consideration.

But I think you need to have a fairly decent skill in networking.

I've been slowly building up my skill in networking (randomly approaching people on LinkedIn). It's currently slowly paying off in that I think I will have one friend that is working in FAANG.

I've had 10 conversations so far with people from FAANG (or related). I found most of them okay conversations. However, with this guy, the conversation was genuinely fun and I realized I could consider hanging out with him no matter what his title is.

So why not synergize and look for people that work in prestigious places that I also genuinely enjoy?

Once enough people know you, work will slowly roll in.

That's my strategy moving forward.

Quite a mix of various talking points both from the extreme left and right.

Left:

- promote global equity

- a globally representative body of humans, elected or appointed based on merit and diversity

- Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through [...]

- Transition to a resource-based economy, where resources are allocated based on need, sustainability, and efficiency, rather than profit motives

Right:

- protect individual rights

- The system must account for diverse cultures, languages, and socioeconomic conditions

- [Establish global standards for environmental protection, enforced through] [...] regional cooperation.

- ensuring equitable opportunities

.

TBH, as a very right wing leaning person, if this was ever implemented, this part would scare me by far the most:

"Transition to a resource-based economy, where resources are allocated based on need, sustainability, and efficiency, rather than profit motives"

Imagine trying to shower one morning, no water comes out, and then you get a letter telling you that

"Your need for water has been reassessed to 57ml per day. If you think you qualify for additional quotas under the 'Utility Egality for Marginalized Groups and Public Servants Act', please schedule a reassessment appointment with the Bureau for 'Copper Gold Content Evaluation, Candle Wick Length Standards and Hypoionic Hydration Oversight', 12007 Cayman Islands, Luxory Resort Street 27, Room Nr. G-11-765. Working hours: Fr. 9am - 11am."

Just provide a significant excess for entire regions, give the people a universal free quota and charge a slowly increasing price (by usage amount) beyond that.
It's really unfortunate they seem to be unobtainium, despite all these benchmarks I've yet to see a place where they're actually sold outside absurdly priced ebay price-gougers.

Surprisingly I was able to get a mash of Intel and nvidia cards to work together for same inference job after two days of fiddling.

For me the nadir was the prequel series although I also think The Phantom Menace poisoned the well for the other two which weren't terrible. The more recent films have been a mixed bag with them generally being better the further they are from the original story arc.

For me at least, there's also a certain fatigue factor. While I like The Mandalorian and Rogue One, I'm pretty much done with the franchise. See also Star Trek and MCU. That said, I know that there are a lot of fans who will take pretty much anything you throw out even if they like to belly-ache about it.

Individuals can take on groupthink idea (ie a company) - they can re-interpret the information in a relatively coherent way. Think of the idea of say 'Christians' - there is a relatively coherent idea there being animated in all those minds. But then, at an individual level, there is difference in what is believed (eg 'the Father' idea will be be different in each). Its just assumed that the groupthink idea is the same in all. Its a pleasing illusion for an individual to believe.

There is no company morality - as companies and groups cannot feel or register value. The value is entirely in the individual. Yes, one individual can affected and be affected by another. Yes, an individual can say 'We at Google blah blah' and mean what they are saying, and still be wrong.

The idea of a 'group' with feelings, morality etc is just an illusory projection.
Those are applied-ML level advancements, OpenAI has pushed model level advancements. xAI has never really done much it seemed except download the latest papers and reproduce them.
I think my approach there if I didn’t have the correct tool (not sure if international plugs allow for the same, and sometimes manufacturers can be fussy about warranties), would be to lop the plug off, pass the cable through a smaller hole, then refit a plug.

This however requires having a plug to refit, and I believe there can be weird regs around having plugged goods passing through “walls”

Sinclair (of ZX Spectrum fame) made a variety of wacky devices over the years, including the crazy C5 electric bike [0]. They also dabbled with handheld TVs. The one I knew about was the TV80 [1] which came out in 1983 when I was a small kid. Apparently in the 70s, they also sold the MTV-1 [2] which also had a TV and radio in a bulkier package.

in fact I do believe I have a solution to this problem. I should have this fully implemented soon but right now it is not.

First, I intend to be able to define simple "dependencies", but IMO that's not the interesting part.

I am going to use rw mutexes on every file with staged changes. If 2 steps are running against disjoint files there is no problem. If 2 steps are running against "check" (not "fix" which edit files by convention), they can also run at the same time. The only scenario where blocking is necessary is when you have 2 "fix" or 1 "check" and 1 "fix" on an intersection of their files.

For that scenario there is going to be a setting that you can enable to run a steps "check" command first (only if this scenario is about to happen, if no files will be in contention it will simply run "fix"), and if "check" fails, then it will switch to "fix".

This is my current idea and in my head I think it would work. There are caveats, notably running "check" and then "fix" might be slower than just waiting and running "fix" once which is why it needs to be optional behavior. You also may not care about things stomping on each other (maybe the linters themselves have their own locking logic).
LeetCode for Behavioral Questions
I just made a Leetcode style Behavioral interview Prep. Its designed in the same way Leetcode is but it is targeted to make your behavioral responses better.

I call this " why the cost of hiring a guy to do anything is either 250$ or 10000$ ". And when the switch from low to high happens your jaw drops.

Most routine maintenance work is the latter coat point(your toilet flus repair, electrical short repair, Hole in the wall AC replacement), but anything else more complex and the cost explodes and if you get multiple times estimates you will find out there is no escaping the bare truth. This stuff is hard and you have to do lots of estimation before hand if you have to get into anything.

Fortunately all my tooling for my little condo fits in three tool containers a bit smaller than full-size suitcases. Once you build enough of a toolbox and experience small repairs become a no brainer.

But every now and then you gotta call a guy.

It is not that significantly different, although my poor understanding certainly left people with that impression. I thought the nurse in the hospital on the day I was born was an aunt. As a young child, I would later describe my baptism at 9 months of age as being dunked. It was not that I meant that I was literally dunked into the water. I simply thought the sensation of water dripping to the back of my head was being dunked. I also had been terrified during my baptism since I thought the deacon was trying to drown me. My parents were so thrilled that I was not crying like the other children while in reality, the reason I was silent was because I terrified about actually being immersed into water and drowned. That said, at the time, I did not really understand how to disambiguate what I had regarded to be dunking from immersion, even though I had the faint concept that the air supply could be severed by being immersed in water, which is why I had been terrified.

I recall one time when I was around 2 years old and my parents took me to Pizza Hut. When asked about toppings and hearing that we could have three, I said I wanted extra extra extra cheese. They thought I was being cute. However, I had no concept of cuteness or how to be it. I simply wanted all 3 toppings to be extra cheese and to my disappointment, 2 of the toppings were not. At the time, I had not known how to say 3 toppings of extra cheese and I thought repeating extra three times would communicate what I wanted.

That said, I stopped playing my memory recall game around age 5 when I began to be bullied and did not want to remember the past anymore. That left me with far fewer memories from early grade school than I had from prior years. It also let many of my early memories fade, although not enough for me to forget them entirely.
Not unless the brain does filtering (something we know for sure it does - psychedelics mess with this filter). I may be completely off the mark though
> It doesn’t teach things such as product of sums and kmaps which allows you to methodically find the Boolean equation for any arbitrary output

This is useful beyond low-level work. Every now and then I review code where the author has a complicated boolean condition (often in combination with auth and caching) and there's a much simpler way to write it -- that also has a more intuitive interpretation!

The same thing goes for finite state machines, of course, but the refactorings suggested are often trickier to apply in a late-stage code review.

I have a few memories that my parents have placed at around me being 2. I would say they have also remained through repetition, but in my case not active or voluntary. Those memories, although very vivid and specific (I can pinpoint them as specific events), are mostly attached to senses (something I saw, something I smelled). And because I continued to have those inputs during several years later, I guess the memories were thus persisted.
Great idea, thank you! Shorthands are on my list. Would it work if you could immediately start a stopwatch + assign a tag, such as “customer care” with a single click?

I preferably don’t want to include projects/folders/tickets, this is what I found cumbersome to deal with in other trackers.

Even the "good" contractors are unlikely to take as much care as you want them to for these sorts of things. Previous owners had a bathroom fitted, and did a really good job except for the tiles behind the toilet where they clearly didn't bother spending 45 seconds installing tile spacers between like 4 tiles.The rest of the job is flawless, but it annoys me every time I see it.
> only interesting to hardcore tech enthusiasts

I think that the HN crowd is exactly that and I doubt many would want this phone. Foldable phones are just flashy status symbols at this point without much use. I guess the actual target market is affluent people who want to show off, who want to have "something different", and who will not actually use the added screen space.
Could you show an example of what you mean? Not sure how not mutating data would lead to more unergonomic type signatures, I'm sure an example would help me understand. Although it wouldn't surprise me TypeScript makes things harder.

Hi there, do you have any example native apps built via Bolt.new?
As you said it:

and then want to use Rust to improve it.

They try to use blackmail and shaming to push for the rust in kernel agenda down our throat when they see that the community is not willing to.
> Cost as in, cost to you? Or cost to serve?

This. IIUC to serve an LLM is to perform an O(n^2) computation on the model weights for every single character of user input. These models are 40+GB so that means I need to provision about 40GB RAM per concurrent user and perform hundreds of TB worth of computations per query.

How much would I have to charge for this? Are there any products where the users would actually get enough value out of it to pay what it costs?

Compare to the cost of a user session in a normal database backed web app. Even if that session fans out thousands of backend RPCs across a hundred services, each of those calls executes in milliseconds and requires only a fraction of the LLM's RAM. So I can support thousands of concurrent users per node instead of one.
Or anything that can embed a WASM runtime I imagine.

They're considering a native build as well, search term "libpglite".

Though I feel like providing it as a library would work very well initially. Roll a suitable minimal WASM runtime and a WASM blob into a single package, separately for every language.
Sadly, the lack of morbidity because there's no dead people makes it not top news elsewhere.
Sva did say AGI doomerism, which I think is distinct from the more mundane and grounded concerns about how extant "AI" systems will effect the labor market, and related concerns. The LessWrong people talking about AIs exterminating humanity because we failed to worship it correctly, not the artists complaining about AI mimicking their style and turning art into a commodities available to anybody.
Forgot to put it in an ironic way. So they don't fund Ebola studies thus when the pandemic strikes and wipes out 90% of the wold population, they will be held accountable, so this conversation happens:

- What did you do with all those money we funded you?!

- Well, we spent them on snake bites. So in the event you get both Ebola and a snake bites you, you'll die, but it won't be the snake bite that killed you.
I don't think they are only for enthusiasts. I know multiple non-enthusiasts who decided to get the first form factor you described (regular phone size that folds in half) and love it. This style is also not way more expensive than other phones.

Personally I will likely get this tri-fold style for my next phone, being able to open up to a small tablet is very useful for me.

Your future is here. These devices have now proven themselves reliable enough for daily use by the average person. As long as you are ok with Android they are out of the enthusiast space.

> The most common NAT (PAT) configurations don't deny unsolicited inbound traffic

That doesn’t make sense.

If I have a single routable IPv4 addresses and 100 machines behind it with RFC1918 addresses, how can any possible router “allow by default” say, port 22? Which machine would it route it to? Would it pick the first one? Randomly select one?

Of course NAT has to drop incoming unsolicited packets. Unless you tell it which machine to route them too, it couldn’t possibly know how to “allow” them in the first place.

As someone who’s tried the high end Chinese phones and really appreciate that they’re innovating and trying new things, I’ve come to the conclusion that Apple and iOS is simply a more stable and reliable platform and better ecosystem (better quality apps, hands down). And the end of the day, I need a device that simply works.

The largest problem with Apple is not that they are “behind” feature wise, but their pathetic battery power - I’d pay a lot more for a phone that lasted a day or two on a charge. Maybe add memory options to that wish list.
I think part of the point of OP is that if your main concern is DRM (being able to actually own your books) and you also care to a non-zero extent about the author getting paid for their work (yes, authors receive a much smaller share of sale price than they should, but it's still a substantial percentage), then you should try to buy from DRM-free bookshops and only if that fails sail the high seas.

Regarding corporate piracy for AI, I don't think it's just Meta..
The last two paragraphs are really great.
If you can remember all the way back to the day of your birth, those memories are surely not real memories. Newborn babies are essentially not fully conscious - not in a way that would create any long-term memory of lived events anyway.

It sounds to me that this memory-recall game likely started when you were a toddler or preschooler rather than an infant, and that while this may give you additional reach back into your earliest memories, it was likely more a game of creativity than genuine memory recall. Into adulthood the real memories and the invented ones can end up feeling roughly the same.

Unfortunately there's really no way to test the accuracy of your memory aside from comparing your memories to a previously unobserved but concrete record. For most of us, our childhood was documented by our parents, and the stories shared with us over the course of our lives, so there's no way to prove that even the accurate recollections weren't simply our memories of the stories rather than the events themselves.

Humans have poor memory anyway. We misremember things that happened recently, so it is probably unwise to trust your memory of things that distant as being accurate, especially when they reach back to an age where most established science suggests that you wouldn't have even possessed self-awareness.
There is this convergence space intersecting phones, tablets, and laptops that seems tantalizingly a bit over the horizon but feels like it should be achievable. Some people make it work to some degree today: the phone is big enough that you don't really need a dedicated tablet. A keyboard and pencil let you use the tablet as a laptop for many purposes. (Heck, many kids are fine with using a phone for everything as it is.)
