One Take Audio | Senior or Student | REMOTE | https://www.onetakeaudio.com We're building generative AI software that helps music creators build their visions. Our team is at capacity and we need your help to accelerate development.

Experience we want - Generative AI model tuning (diffusion, ONNX runtime, WindowsML), C++ Windows/Mac desktop applications, addressing chipsets/architectures/memory, gRPC, audio processing, GPU & NPU optimizations.

People we need:

Senior SW Developer - Join the team and work for equity. Moonlighting is ok to start, with a willingness to convert to full-time once we complete our seed funding round.

Student - Internship (paid). Equity is possible for exceptional candidates. We want someone who will complete school within a year and be open to full-time employment afterwards.

Which is ironic because scores of enterprise companies developed internal systems/reporting/intranets using .NET in the early 2000s, restricting their users to Internet Explorer!

I've been a Lumina Camera user for almost a year now and I've been impressed with two things: the quality of the camera, but also the Lumina team's approach to improvements. They ship updates constantly and the software gets better all the time. I'm excited to see that same approach to such a cool new product.

Have journalists ever controlled or written their own headlines? I don't think this is a change from any point in newspaper history.

The article says there's a linux/no-os option

This is super exciting and I can't wait to see the machines in the wild. Congrats on the launch!

If anyone only ever made decisions while they were perfectly fed and rested, this would be a sad, slow, boring world, because nothing would ever get done or decided. There is such a thing as urgency, and people do work beyond a 35 hour work week with evenly spaced meals, and especially during a global pandemic.

Specific to this instance, this FDA meeting was a formality -- they had already had the data for two weeks to review. The efficacy was well-known. They chose to take a 4-day holiday (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday).

People don't all of a sudden sign house contracts. They've germinated the idea, spent weeks or months working through the pros and cons, talking to their life partners and family and agent and mortgage broker. The decision is made well in advance of the actual contract signing, and all the red lines are done before you get to the actual meeting to sign on the line. Similarly with the FDA regulators, they weren't meeting to review the data for the first time and come up with a decision on the spot. This was one final step in a very long process.

Yes, especially if you have an alternative place to park the money that earns N+1, where N is your interest. Anything above that is marginal gravy.

Exactly and makes total sense. Plus, not everyone has infinite income, so people are "rate limited" into choosing the 30 over a 15 or 10.

Opportunity cost of the higher monthly payment surely factors in?

The retail price is the same, sure, but the effective price is much different because the incentives come from different tax and rebate schemes that aren't factored into the retail price. EVs have no VAT in Norway, no road tax, no toll or ferry fees [0] -- that's a major difference in the effective price!

But they're not priced the same. The MSRP is just the MSRP and does not include the incentives for EVs.

There are significant subsidies and schemes that the Norwegian government offers that reduces the total purchase price of the electric.

Are you saying that the mutation velocity is so unbelievable that it's clearly wrong? Or that it's so unprecedented that we should be worried?

It's super hard to put together because you have to first do a factor analysis to even decide what the component parts are. I've always brute forced it using the (admittedly difficult) Excel function and the underlying dataset is not pretty!

The bias is Gell-Mann Amnesia.

Edit: looks like this was already answered by @the-dude

This is great, thanks. I'm always behind on Matt's daily email and this will help me catch up. I do wish he would guest on more podcasts!

Most California cities are 40-70 years (years!) behind demand in housing production. There aren’t 4 people waiting for that development; there are 40.

The population of the US continues to grow. Empty buildings are not something you need to be concerned about when the current supply is so inadequate.

Cancellation is also by phone call only, which creates a lot of friction. I’ve tried to cancel a couple of times, and let it lapse once, and they always end up dropping my rate to $4/mo. Hard to say no to $50/year for 150 more options in your car. Even when the bitrate is like listening to a 1998 mp3.

This is a good summary of The monthly investment for even a one-person side project.

Do you also use an accounting tool like QuickBooks or Xero?

All the candidates donated, not just Buttigieg. It was a joint venture between all of the primary candidates in Iowa.

They have a free tier up to $50k in revenue that I’ve used successfully. Hosted checkout, strong API, etc.

Exactly —- while the alert system is interesting and does have value, if they are putting in the tough, long, and grindingly harsh effort to compile these disparate data sources, that itself is the moat and becomes the product. Definitely worth doing!

Gmail has an autocomplete function which means it’s inherently reading everyone’s email (for training).

It may seem like a lot of cranes and a lot of construction, but like tigershark notes below, on a relative basis it’s not even close to the amount of construction needed to meet demand (and thereby induce lower prices). Today’s building boom is a pittance relative to population.

Society already makes an effort by using their money to vote on whether they like that particular pizza place.

A good point, so I just looked it up. This April 1991 ad [0] shows 386 desktops with a hard drive at around $2000 in 1991 prices, and the comparable 486 models with a hard drive start at $7300.

To put that in perspective, $2000 in 1991 is $3700 in today’s dollars, and the 486 would be a staggering $13,500 today.

Yes, I think we can agree that there are trade offs, as with everything in life. In a world of scarce resources, we all place different value in different things. I’m not lambasting your choices just as I’d expect you not to deride mine.

But on your last throw-in dig, that’s disingenuous. Poverty is not unique to large cities. I’ve lived in rural towns as small as 7,000 and poverty there is just as visible and acute.

Literally nothing you described is unique to a city. Have a lovely cynical life!

For you, perhaps. But for me and my family, raising children in the densest urban core is a highly enjoyable experience. Imagine never being in traffic again. Having your choice of activities, parkland, and restaurants. Hundreds of friends within a single square mile. That’s what draws many of us to the city over the suburb. But to each their own.
