As our 30 person startup has grown, I made a conscious decision to stop pitching stock options as a primary component of compensation.

Which means the job offer still includes stock options, but during the job offer call we don’t talk up the future value of the stock options. We don’t create any expectation that the options will be worth anything.

Upside from a founder perspective is we end up giving away less equity than we otherwise might. Downside from a founder perspective is you need up increase cash compensation to close the gap in some cases, where you might otherwise talk up the value of options.

Main upside for the employee is they don’t need to worry too much about stock options intricacies because they don’t view them as a primary aspect of their compensation.

In my experience, almost everyone prefers cash over startup stock options. And from an employee perspective, it’s almost always the right decision to place very little value ($0) on the stock option component of your offer. The vast majority of cases stock options end up worthless.
> Taking on a dependency does not relieve you of reading docs, but it also adds a further burden as you now need to trust the code. The stdlib is much more heavily tested and documented than any 3rd party library will be.

Sure, but the opposite applies as well. Sticking with the flawed stdlib means you are trusting that every single future developer is as careful in reading all the docs as you are - even when it's someone reviewing that random trivial-looking patch which is secretly hiding a massive footgun. A junior developer submitted a five-line patch touching datetime? Better schedule several hours for a proper analysis!

Or you can write your own wrapper code, of course. Which will almost certainly have worse documentation and testing than a popular third-party library.

External libraries aren't evil. When chosen properly, they relieve you of burdens. You shouldn't grab any random "leftpad"-like dependency like they are going out of fashion, but something as complicated as timezone handling is best left to code written by domain experts - which means using a library.

I liked Pettson because he's awesome and invents things. I think he's like a physical version of the guy who writes a bunch scripts that together are able to do all his work.

Findus is more of experimenter. He comes up with an idea about something, and ends up following that idea so that it gets tested. He isn't a systematic, scientific experimenter though, since he's a cat.

I also liked all the little animals. To contrast that with the Moomin stories, I only saw it on TV, but it was immediately obvious that they were very austere and very Finnish, even though of course, the author is a Finland-Swede. It's good stuff, but can be, not scary, but something adjacent, to watch as a child. It might be worth it since it allows you to understand these characters in this very austere, isolated environment.
... I mean this is the sort of thing that _developing world_ countries do, sure, but it's not at all the norm for a developed economy.

Null-terminated strings is an endless source of bugs in C progras. I with C used fixed size strings (may be with varint instead of 8-bit length field) or Pascal got more tratcion.
Awesome job, especially going fully native.
We've already passed several Malthusian moments because we invent stuff that allows growth to continue. 50% of all nitrogen in human tissue came from a process we invented like 70 years ago. And we're nowhere near fundamental constraints like energy absorption of the sun onto the earth, and sqft of land per human.
While some details may matter (like strategic industries), they may also not matter because the bigger picture is which country will dominate global politics in the 21st century. China is on the rise while the US decided to get on the struggle bus

My issue with your comment is that you're acting as if you're clarifying something, but you're just replacing it with another confusion.

There are three generations of AI Engines: AIE, AIE-ML and AIE-MLv2.

The latter are known as XDNA and XDNA2, which are available on laptops and the 8000G series on desktops. The former is exclusively available on select FPGAs specialising in DSP using single precision floating point.

The AI focused FPGAs use AIE-MLv2 and therefore are identical to XDNA2.
Agreed that a GUI can be just as keyboard-friendly as a good TUI, but it would seem natural that restricting things to a grid of characters encourages keyboard interaction, whereas allowing arbitrary placement of elements at the pixel level encourages mouse interaction.
Manufacturing doesn't just happen magically. You need factories and a trained workforce, and various infrastructure. The point is that you may not be keen to invest now in building a factory that'll be usable in a couple of years if everything is constantly changing every week.
> If a president stretched the limits of executive power to go after guns, half of the country would cheer for it.

That's speculation about specuation about an undefined interpretation. We are bounded by law, including by the Constitution.

> The Constitution is a living document, and the line is constantly pushed back and forth on its interpretation and enforcement.

There is variation in interpretation, but within bounds. If you want to eliminate Constitutional gun rights, you would need to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
Amazing that they were able to figure this out. I have a PET that also sometimes boots up into a garbled screen similar to the one pictured in the article. I am usually able to get past it with a few hard resets. I don’t have access to (or much knowledge of) logic analysers, but this almost makes it look doable to figure out the problem.
unrelated: a month ago you mentioned a quote: "Your religion prohibits you. It does not prohibit me." is originally from the WW2 movie "The Wind Cannot Read" (1958)
Well, we just spun up anubis in front of a two user private (as in publicly accessible but with almost all content set to private/login protected) forgejo instance after it started getting hammered (mostly by amazon ips presenting as amazonbot) earlier in the week, resulting in a >90% traffic reduction. From what we’ve seen (and Xe’s own posts) it seems git forges are getting hit harder than most other sites, though, so YMMV i guess.
Would they be referring to that here?

I think the "don't want to learn" is a very poor argument. I learn stuff every day, but I want want to decide myself what I learn to solve my problems, not because Rust folks think everybody has to learn Rust now. I learned a bit of Rust out of curiosity, but not so much I could do a lot with it. I do not want to learn more, because I think the language has severe flaws and and much less suitable than C for my use cases.
Many years ago I gave up on X11, etc. to remain in the console and virtual terminals 100% of the time, unless I need to view graphics. I use VGA text mode on NetBSD and something like kmscon on Linux. I use tmux instead of a window manager. Before I ditched X11 I used evilwm.
There are exceptions, but this phenomenon is well documented. I would also ask if you really think these two pieces are really representative of the opinion in the mass media, which I would barely characterize Smith as.

Two obvious differences to me:

Since it's a browser extension, it does not offer any protection outside the browser. If you use a DNS service with malware blocking it will, in theory, "protect" any DNS lookup your system performs. Including lookups that originate from software other than your web browser.

It also differs by using several different services to check all URLs (there's a list in the readme). If you set your DNS to Cloudflare and/or Quad9 you will only get protection from one of those.

I can think of pros and cons with both of these aspects.
I'm authoring a self-compiling compiler with custom lexical tokens via LLM. I'm almost at stage 2, and approximately 50 "stdlib" concerns have specifications authored for them.

The idea of doing them individually in the IDE is very unappealing. Now that the object system, ast, lexer, parser, and garbage collection have stabilized, the codebase is at a point where fanning out agents makes sense.

As stage 3 nears, it won't make sense to fan out until the fundamentals are ready again/stabilised, but at that point, I'll need to fan out again.

Living expenses are pretty tied to your 'scarcity', yes.

Transportation and home heating or cooling costs will go up when petro products rise. Oil is scarce and globally priced. Gas for the car is 3% of household income. Utilities are 6-7% of income

Fertilizer costs rise. Nitrogen-based fertilizers come from natural gas, and phosphate and potash are globally priced and often imported. That means higher costs for farmers, stacked on top of rising fuel and transport expenses. That's foods already 10-15% of income.

So food gets more expensive from every angle. Inputs, shipping, storage. All of it.

So that's 20%+ of household expenses hit.

Education costs go up too. Foreign students now effectively get a discount if their home currency strengthens and universities are expert at making that squeeze when they have room to raise prices without losing demand (if students still come, if they don't come well...education costs also go up to make up the shortfall of high paying foreign students).
> After this last election, I think political groups realized local subreddits were underutilized and have regrouped accordingly.

its not that. they realized: a) that folks were filtering out the astroturfed subreddits in /r/all, and b) that r/all's filter list has a hard limit of 100 subreddits. so, by astroturfing >100 subreddits, they can guarantee to their clients that their posts will make the front of r/all for everyone.
Yes, that's the point, they're utterly incompetent.
None of the articles say what you claim. There's no mention of dressing civilians in IDF uniforms. The claim is they are forced to enter suspected booby trapped building, not "conducting military operations". It's quite possible that this happens sometimes, and yes it's not supposed to, but that's war for you.

From the CNN article btw:
"The soldier said that he and his comrades refused to carry on with the practice after two days and confronted their senior commander about it. Their commander, who first told them not to “think about international law,” saying that their own lives were “more important,” ultimately relented, releasing the two Palestinians, the soldier said. "

This goes to show you to what degree Israeli soldiers do consider the international law and these sort of moral questions. They would rather risk their own lives. But yes, over a long war of this kind the threshold is going to become lower. It's the Hamas choice to keep fighting the way it does (booby trap every civilians building e.g.).

Now find me the Hamas "soldier" who refused to carry out orders to murder civilians or refused to hold civilian hostages and got their commander to free them. Let's see where's the moral equivalence.
That's because it's not: it's a mandarin-orange hybrid.

Fun fact: "dekopon" means basically "outie" (as in protruding navel, not Severance).

I like this new lib (Thank You) but the name unfortunately implies the opposite of what it is. "Whenever" sounds like you don't care, but you'd only be using this if you did care! Also Shakira, haha.
Hmm, pedantic is taken. Timely, precise, punctual, meticulous, ahorita, pronto, etc. I like that temporal name.

Finally, none of these links mention immutability, but it should be mentioned at the top.
its astroturfing by for profit companies. after the election, they realized: a) that folks were filtering out the astroturfed subreddits in /r/all, and b) that r/all's filter list has a hard limit of 100 subreddits. so, they switched tactics - by astroturfing >100 subreddits, they can guarantee to their clients that their posts will make the front of r/all for everyone.

I have experienced similar. A while ago I had some memory issues due to severe insomnia over weeks. It certainly sucked but the memory loss part wasn't so bas as I basically just felt happy often, not even remembering little annoyances.

It's kind of a double edged sword in my opinion because it's not really affordable to always be in that state.

> The vast majority of cases stock options end up worthless

My fav manager had a great way of phrasing this: "There are more ways for your options to be worthless than to make you rich"

But I also personally know plenty of people who made off great with their startup equity. They're def not worthless.

Ultimately I think you should never take an uncomfortable pay-cut to join a company and you should maximize your stock compensation on top of that. Don't forget other types of equity – brand, exposure to good problems, network.
No. I found it frustrating that so many BASIC programs had odd quirks or dependencies on one platform that I couldn't figure out how to mimic on whatever I was programming on (first a MicroVideo Interact, then an Apple 2 with Integer Basic followed eventually by AppleSoft Basic). I used to type in programs from the Creative Computing compilation books and hit various roadblocks because some of the programs would rely on commands specific to paper tape or the specific digital tape (not home computer cassette) drive in use.
You saw someone making a bunch of observations, setting up an experiment and trying to use maths/programming to prove an hypothesis they believed to be a sign of "lack of human-ness"?

To me it showed curiosity and ingenuity, sure they might not have studied a certain subject but it is a totally valid approach to an unknown problem. It might actually get people who have similar "silly questions" to run a similar set of experiment and perhaps stumble upon something novel.

You comment showed less human-ness than OP, ironically.
>The fact is, parents don't want to be blamed for traumatic upbringings, so they can pin it on the child's brain and almost always succeed - creating more trauma, symptoms and learned helplessness in the process. And nobody ever realizes the truth. Literally everyone you're supposed to trust buys into the same narrative of medicalization - guardians, teachers, counselors, doctors, the media - which means what what you think of yourself is set in stone from an early age, and the worst part is that it's totally false. You have to spend years trying to undo the damage stemming from this by yourself - and that only gets you so far. Some of it never goes away.

God yup, I know exactly how this one feels. I may have given myself too much credit in my original comment; I got incredibly lucky. I happened to have two very wise people in my life who were smart enough to see through that lifelong medicalization. Talking to them was how we slowly came to understand how the meds worked and the perverse nature of the whole thing. I would have been completely screwed without them. Everyone else around me, without exception, framed it as though I was simply treating the symptoms of a bodily disease, when the primary purpose for me was the psychoactive effect itself. The euphoric, motivational feeling helped me temporarily suppress a heavy burden of negative emotion that hung over me for unaddressed reasons. The problem is, this gave stimulants addictive qualities for me. I'd abuse them to an excessive degree. I sometimes went on multi-day binges, during which I never slept, and almost certainly did myself permanent damage.

It's the inevitable result of treating ADHD as a simple symptomology and lumping everyone with those symptoms into a single group. You'll get lots of people like me for whom a good relationship with stimulant medication is a struggle. The worst part is that the medicalization itself makes a good relationship impossible. Understanding them as drugs, thinking of them like any other psychoactive substance, is the framing that makes it possible to use them in a way that's actually helpful--small, targeted doses that change how you feel to make it easier to operate in the world when you have no alternative. It would be odd to recommend that someone put themselves in a perpetual caffeine high, yet for amphetamines this suddenly seems reasonable? It's the medicalized framing that makes this logic make sense to people, and, as you said, the lumping together of many disparate conditions under one banner.

This makes the most sense given that OpenAI is moving away from Nvidia GPUs and developing their own chips for inference.

So there would need to be compiler support in Triton for their new custom inference chips that will be used run on them.
That’s why I’m a software developer though, because I learned the footguns in the standard library. I use it before third party libraries whenever I can. I can’t understand the fear, just learn your job.
What portion of the population currently live paycheck to paycheck? That portion will die in the streets.
I assure you that taking care of a family does not make you independent. Regardless of who the family member to care about is. I am quite pro "you should be helping family" and as such I am fully aware that caregivers are giving up quite a lot. And in particular, having kids makes you much more dependent and limited then whatever was your life before them. That goes for those who stayed at home and depend on partner for everything, those who are primary breadwinner focusing on work only and for those who juggle childcare with work.

As for owning property instead of renting, that one is massively more influenced by whether you can afford to buy a property or rent. Renting requires much less money and that is all there is to it. Neither makes you more or less satisfied in life.

> Fortunately, if history goes to show us anything, it's these hate-fueled-orders always end up imploding.

That's taking the 'in the long run' analysis to an extreme.

In WWII, after hundreds of millions died - including over 10 million murdered by the hate-filled - major parts of the world were devestated, and the free world united in a massive war, the hate-fueled were stopped. They didn't implode.

The idea that they will implode is a common fantasy that you (and many others) won't have to do anthing, face their fears, fight an uncertain fight. If you really believed they would implode, the fight would be certain. They won't stop until you stop them.
You missed the sarcasm, no worries. It's also referencing a scene in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

>This thing has 8 motors. It’s easy to imagine that it could have 8 independent batteries and could be able to perform a controlled descent if two fail. Similarly, it could have redundant sensors and use commodity “majority rules” logic circuits where all calculations are run three times. On top of that, they can already cut over to ground control if the computer can’t proceed.

Most of these are a total nightmare to implement. There is no such thing as a "controlled descent" into a dense urban center. Even keeping maneuverability with a single defective motor is a hard task, you need to develop and test for this.

>On top of that, they can already cut over to ground control if the computer can’t proceed.

So ground control can do what? The only reasonable way these could ever safely operate is with a high degree of sensor fusion, information about nearby crafts, their trajectories, obstacles, etc. combined together. You can not put a human into that system and have him make split-second decisions.

>With all that, it’s “just” a software problem.

Passenger plane automation is also "just" a software problem. It is just an enormously difficult software problem with exceedingly high stakes. The problem is not that it is "impossible", but that it is extremely difficult and not worth the risk getting it wrong.

Again, what is the acceptable failure rate for these things crashing into sky scrapers? If it is zero, we are very far away from them being able to take flight.
Hopefully this all comes full circle and we just quit social sites en masse.

The AI Bottleneck: Bad UX
We only want people to pay for Crystal if they feel they get outsized value out of it; we’d never ask you to pay just to make a few searches.

That being said, each query makes a few LLM calls to make sure we’re returning the most relevant datasets, which costs money. So at some point we would expect power users to contribute, which seems reasonable.

Ultimately our goal is to democratize access to this data. So the cost would never be more than a nominal amount
