Not really.

It could be that "I would orient my marketing efforts to get you 1000 leads in 2 months. If I hit the target, i get x amount, else y based on the final result. You dont need the percentages. The key is to position yourself in a manner that whoever is hiring you can depend on you for results regardless of the circumstances. This way you get more recommendations, and better pay.

I just had another thought about this.

Programmers are pretty accustomed to thinking of functions as verbs. In some programming styles, we're even explicitly encouraged to name our functions after verbs describing what they do.

Sometimes mathematicians think of functions more as expressing a complete (and sort of timeless) relationship between a domain and a range. That relationship, considered in its totality, can be thought of as a noun rather than a verb.

Earlier mathematicians might also have tended to think of functional notation as referring to individual specific instances of the result of the calculation that the function refers to, like "the sine of 1/2" being a specific number (the result of computing the sine of one half, or, alternatively, the output of the function given a specific input). So when writing something like sin(1/2) they might not be thinking "please [person or machine] perform this computation on the number 1/2 right now" so much as "[I am here indicating] the specific [timeless and inherent] number that is the sine of 1/2". That's a different way that a function could be seen as a noun, essentially seeing the function as merely a way of referring to its output.

Calculus and real analysis start to give stronger reasons for thinking of functions as abstract objects in their own right (e.g. because we can say something like "d/dx sin(x) = cos(x)" or even "the derivative of sin is cos" without thinking about specific values. Or questions like "can a function exist that is continuous but not differentiable?". Maybe computer science then starts to give reasons for thinking of functions as descriptions of how to perform them (like source code or even machine code punched on punch cards) as opposed to references to their specific results (like a printed book of function tables, which someone else calculated ahead of time so you wouldn't have to).

This is all to say basically that maybe it's more natural for us as programmers to think of functions as verbs, but maybe Euler didn't conceive of them that way at all!

The difference between traditional software and LLMs is the generality of their intelligence, and there are formal definitions of general intelligence such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIXI

AIXI is a definition of the optimal agent and is hence uncomputable but LLMs are approximations which are approaching AIXI.

Never having been in the video game industry, nor knowing anyone that has, I've never really understood what the role of a publisher is now that games are distributed digitally.

What were the benefits for you of having a publisher, could you have gone without one and maybe finally how does one go about finding a publisher?
My house is wired for ethernet, and I don't use all the jacks. Best practice is probably run two lines to two opposite walls to most rooms. But you'd expect to only really use one of those for most rooms. It's just nice to have options for placing wired devices (which is why you want wired to opposite walls) and to have a spare in case it fails.

1gbps at low latency and low jitter is table stakes for wired networking, but pretty difficult for wifi (regardless of the sticker bandwidths). Wifi 7 will likely do a lot better than wifi 6 on well equiped clients and access points because of aggregation across frequencies, but it's still going to be not entirely consistent, and it still won't hold a candle to 10g-baseT which isn't too expensive if you only need a few ports and you shop well on ebay.

If you do fiber runs, there's lots of used stuff much faster than 10g for not much more. 40gbe seems to have had a short lifetime in enterprise so there's a lot of decommisioned hardware out there, if you've got fiber to run it on.
Going on an early morning, deep sea fishing cruise off Huntington Beach CA's coast circa 2015 with rented gear, the boat had to stop and float silent because of Dolphins. I didn't think this was a thing, until I saw thousands of dolphin adults and younglings speeding past, chasing wherever the fish might be. Ofc, nobody caught much of anything that run. It was the only time I ever tried it. I remember watching Hellboy 2 playing on the TV while we returned to shore.

This is using NFC, which is impossible to intercept. So only the person you send the key to can unlock and start your car with their phone, and you need to hack their phone to steal the key, which I believe is impossible given the way that Apple implements it (you need to steal their phone and know their passcode to use the key unless they set it in express, and even then the phone has to be unlocked within a certain time period to actually start the car).

One of the usecases that is relevant for us is supporting other companies over call. Zoom and team are built from meetings but not for support.

Key things for support are:

1. Ability to share access to the customers machine with out any hassle and easy acknowledgement for sharing access

2. Recordings and summarirs automatically gets added to tickets and issues

3. Playbooks are handy for the support engineer during the call

I found the text appearing in waves like that quite disturbing. It takes away from the classiness of the product.
Thanks for the advice. One challenge for us will be how to price-in token based costs, e.g. downstream GPT services. There was an interesting post earlier today on HN related to this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43186032 which recommended progressive pricing, which I thought was really interesting. On the other hand, the marginal cost of these services is being aggressively driven down by the big players so it may ultimately be safe to provide a fixed cost subscription model.

Right and Left are a false dichotomy of strawmen. But such is US politics.
according to what Trump says (i have not researched it myself) the US in the recent past has paid tariffs many times over what it has charged in tariffs, and he wants to equalize the playing field. So yes, imposing tariffs is a regression away from free markets, but if what he says about foreign tariffs is true, it already wasn't a free market for trade.

Evidence can be circumstantial.

Eg, searching “how to pick locks” when you’ve also robbed a house — even though people search that without committing crimes.

That’s particularly true for evidence showing intent.

The question for evidence is not “is this alone irrefutable proof of wrongdoing?” but “does this in an ensemble with other known facts raise the probability of guilty?”

Good catch.

Looks like the media controversies are driven more largely by false narratives from the "right" than anything that's really liberal or conservative in favor of America itself.

Definitely less basis in reality from that direction than from what's ill-defined as "liberal" today.

Global tags (with ACLs) as well as team and personal tags (also with ACLs) would be fantastic. Don't forget read and access ACLs, not just write ACLs.

Email integration would be nice. Emails -> IM, so I can read IMs and emails in one app. IM -> email (right-click on a range of messages, click send, get placed in $MUA and edit).

Don't forget retention controls, support for on-prem, etc.
> The easiest way for me to conceptualize it is to think of it as orientation + rotation. 3 dims for the orientation vector to get the object facing/pointing the right way, then a further 1 dim/var for rotation about that axis. For a total of 4 variables/dimensions

Something's missing. Orientation in 3D space is a two-dimensional quantity; you would never need three dimensions to express it. The third dimension has to be providing some additional information, like a magnitude.
I had an experience years ago, that might have qualified as a super pod. But as it was night time so no way to really do more than recount the experience.

South Atlantic, heading north in a motor yacht at 8 knots we were passed by a small group also heading north. Not possible to see much more than their reflections and hear the sounds as they crested. A couple of minutes later the main group caught up with us and passed us on both sides. No idea how wide the pod extended but it took at least fifteen minutes or so for the group to pass. A couple of minutes later another following group passed as well.

I like to wonder about the outrider groups.
It's not. I worked at a startup with a terrible CEO who was more lucky than smart, had sexual harassment case, put a family member as head of HR, and generally disliked. It definitely demotivated people.

It does though. The hardware might catch an error (or an "error") and halt the program, but you still need a human to fix it.

RISC-V is the future.
A tale about Perl array vs scalar context and `fortune` has gone missing from the internet (edit: found it, see below). I'll do my best to recount it.

The story goes a kid in high school setup a web page that displayed fortunes from, well, fortune. He did this via a Perl CGI program. One day, fortune spit out the following quote just as a teacher was viewing the page:

I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, thought, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to
crudeness. I'd had to turn both those twelve-gauge shells from brass stock, on the lathe, and then load then myself; I'd had to dig up an old microfiche with instructions for hand-loading cartridges; I'd had to build a lever-action press to seat the primers -all very tricky. But I knew they'd work. -- Johnny Mnemonic

Unfortunately due to the kid mistaking scalar vs array context, only the first line of the paragraph was displayed: I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks.

Missing the attribution, the teacher did not recognize this as a book quote. This resulted in police being called on the kid. Fortunately it was resolved w/o incident.

Now, I may be misremembering the story which isn't mine. I vaguely recall that maybe it was something Tom Christiansen used to tell? Maybe it appeared on Slashdot? Maybe it's apocryphal? I can't find the original.

Edit: Randal Schwartz recounted the story here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20070126150617/http://www.stoneh...

It was originally on Slashdot and I mostly got the details right. :-)
We should not outlaw tools. Lock picks are fun and some ordinary people have a hobby of lock picking. You shouldn't go to jail because you possess a lock pick. Electronic devices are the same.

It's dangerously close to the "thought crime".

Consciousness is not philosophy. In the past, it was. People didn't have the tools or theoretic background to even approach it in an empiric way.

However we now have at least the basics to hypothesize and perform experiments. So it's no longer philosophy and is in the realm of understanding what actually are the mechanisms of consciousness.

There's no such thing as hardware memory safety, with absolutely no change to the semantics of the machine as seen by the compiled C program. There are going to be false positives.
Been following this game! Congrats! Please bring us an MacOS port!
Very interesting idea.
The equivalent argument would be banning something that makes murder really really easy without much training or willpower. Killing with a knife is hard, and just not very accessible (if you doubt me, try going hunting for deer with a knife instead of a rifle). The equivalent would be some device that made killing really easy, eg something that supported point and shoot. Like, if someone invented a ray gun that you could just point at people and they would die, that would banned really quickly even by the most libertarian governments (because society doesn’t survive very long with them around, or society doesn’t ban them and is just replaced by another society that does).

Lock picks at least take some skill, they aren’t super accessible. But an RF repeater seems to be fairly accessible according to how quickly it spread (although most modern fobs stop transmitting when stationary, so these are only effective for people who carry fobs in their pockets all the time).
Works well, got problems with it (outside pure ignorance), pick something else; same difference to me. lol.

> Britain had internet and content laws before these recent changes and people were just fine with the risk that came with running them

I think it's equally likely that people didn't take them seriously, but each new law has had increasingly dire consequences AND has been increasingly difficult to decipher. So there's that.
The academic paper is here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361675439_The_Decip...

It looks convincing to me. It's exactly the same method used to decipher cuneiform, starting with proper names in certain inscriptions and then figuring out the content of other inscriptions somewhat like a crossword puzzle. The fact that one of the tablets turns out to record the syllabary in order is especially compelling.
Woops — thanks for catching that
Though that is decidedly a pro-free market philosophy.
Stealing is already outlawed, so banning the devices is not comparable to murder. What would be comparable if the government decided to ban knives and hammers? Those "devices" are used to commit murders, and anyone possessing them could be prosecuted for the crime of murder.
