- random3I just remembered I have a Xilinx I bought over a decade ago lying around somewhere. I don't remember ever plugging it in, but I do both the excitement of getting it and trying to figure out the toolchain and getting confused.
- Love the functional programming entry, but disappointed it’s not the Year of the Linux Desktop.
- Based on this rationale nobody should use Linux either =))
- IF $1900 is the bounty, it means it doesn't hurt enough.
I remember going for the highest paying bounty in the Ethereum VM several years ago (I think it was ~$400 DAI/SAI). I did it because I wanted to force myself to learn the internals and to see for myself if the bounty system works. I think I spent a few weeks debugging and ended up splitting the bounty.
As long as the user-facing issues are disconnected from the technical issues, it's going to be hard to get the true value.
- This is, personally, a controversial topic- I can take both sides of the debate in my head. I use markdown intensely and feel the deficiencies deeply, but wasn't able to see how there are real alternatives given the ecosystem (e.g. Obsidian).
I do think things are ripe for changes in this space.
- The processor is built of transistors, built of silicone. The paper that wraps the box that wraps the processor is simply a mindless container. Yes, there’s nuance when it comes to “wrapper” companies but it in the end they may just be wrappers. Back in the “web 2.0” things were called mash-ups and everybody didn’t try to make them look like companies.
- Your definition is off in a few ways:
Middlemen are brokers, intermediaries. Almost every job is in the middle of something including the ones labeled “real” - e.g. manufacturing uses some things to produce others. Some of the jobs you refer to as middle, are not actually middle - e.g. accounting.
You probably wanted to refer to white collar jobs or maybe just services.
Middleman are not what you think and your argument sounds off from the bat just because you use that word.
- The lay misconception and wrongly attributed revolutions, discoveries, inventions is so common it has a name - Stigler’s law of eponymy.
You confound the AI product with the AI revolution.
- so planes that don't flap their wings can't fly
- Not sure those two really capture the essence. Plus you need to capture the luminance too. Something like <R,G,B>.bikeshed.com is what's needed.
- That's awesome. Having done a bit of contract ping-pong and karate (many times as collateral damage of one of the legal teams) as a founder, this makes a ton of sense, now :)
This point and the article is more interesting than the OP, IMO
- Disclaimer: Subjective opinion, as a founder.
It’s as fair as characterizing an athlete saying he’s competing to win.
A common logical/semantic mistake is that claims about future facts are lies. They can be exaggerations, and we do see this often and I’m personally annoyed when I see it. These claims can be genuine or not. I often think it’s easier for a founder to be naive (or crazy) than not, because they can believe (sometimes strongly) the things they say.
But neither are lies. A lie is when you misrepresent a fact, something that already happened. That’s a big causal difference.
The large gray area is when someone misrepresents intent (as with most cases for cons). This, I suspect, is the main questions you should be asking, but I suspect it falls into the ethics rather than legal debates.
- I think both doctors and patients would want a different system for both doctors and patients. Having seen a poor performing medical system, and comparing it with the US medical system, all I can say it's that the US one doesn't seem designed to optimize health and well being of patients and, based on reading several articles representing doctors opinions, neither doctors'.
I do think it's maximially optimized to extract revenue. That can sometimes be good (e.g. good access to healthcare) but often times it's not great.
Given healthcare, along with education should be a national priority, both should be heavily "configured" to serve peoples' goals first and any financial goal should be secondary (although arguably useful).
I suspect the current shareholder structures from hedge funds are (intentionally or not) driving things in the wrong direction wrt to public health goals. This is article from a few days ago is also interesting https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=45680695
- It's surprising to me how long it can take for some languages to get decent package management solutions. There are no silver bullets because it's tricky to "encode" compatibility in a version number. I personally think semver helped a little and damaged a lot more by selling a pseudo solution that stands no chance to solve the real problem it needs to.
Maven has always been a very good solution. I think Bazel is too, but haven't had much experience with it.
- there are a small number of culprits from logging libraries to guava, netty that can cause these issues. For these you can use the Shade plugin https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/
- I guess this goes for water pickers use too
- Can you elaborate what's ironic (what is "this" - higher CT)?
A note on the motivations - CT was not originally intended as a foundations. This is clear from both the name (General Theory of Natural Equivalences) and construction (based on set theory, which is was and still is the foundation for most of mathematics). There was indeed work in the foundational direction and there are relevant aspects, but I don't think that's even today the core aspect of it.
- There's this post about sodium-ion batteries from two days ago - https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=45677243
My understanding is that they are particularly good for large scale storage. It looks like it's relevant part of China's strategy.
Yet, there seems to be close to 0 in the US in general (except from some pilots). I find it weird at least to boast about battery energy storage as a strategy while ignoring the most relevant aspect wrt to the future of battery-based storage.
