FWIW these are aviation terms not military.

Thank's! I'll have a look at this as well.

The timing of this is incredible. I was recently given a 120gb SQLite db to work with and I was going to investigate ways to work with it in the morning.

Seeing VCs like a16z shift so quickly from crypto to AI has made me doubt how smart these guys really are. When I started my career I thought, wrongly, that VCs were the real smart guys in the room when startups were founded. They were already rich, they provided great advice to early companies, they could see the future and knew what direction tech was going, they were essential.

As I've progressed in my career my view of them has changed dramatically. They're the money men who in many cases got lucky a few times. Sometimes really just once.

Now I don't mean to completely diminish their role. I've pretty much only worked at VC funded startups in my career and so imo there's no underselling the importance of having some cash in the bank so you can work. But the people providing that cash are not visionaries. They are simple investors chasing returns. Whatever they think is the current thing that will generate returns that's what they want to talk about. Whether it's social media, new media, crypto currencies, or now AI they're all just chasing returns and trying to hype the space their portfolio companies are in. It doesn't really feel so visionary or special after all.

This iso so awesome. Thank you for sharing. I hope you do write about that problem. I'd love to learn something new.

I get that. Call me old fashioned but if I were investing a hundred million dollars I'd like the team to build _something_ for me first. Maybe that's why I dont have a hundred million to invest lol.

I imagine that's the only way to get someone to commit 100M+ in a seed round though.

> It’s very early to talk about what Mistral is doing or will be doing — it’s only around a month old — but from what Mensch said, the plan is to build models using only publicly available data to avoid legal issues that some others have faced over training data, he said; users will be able to contribute their own datasets, too. Models and data sets will be open-sourced, as well.

Unless I missed it elsewhere in the article this part really glosses over something I have a hard time understanding. 113M seed round at a 240M valuation for a company that has no product yet and a plan to build something like something else that already exists. This feels insane to me.

They won't.

idk losing 59% of ad revenue feels a bit mismanaged.

If you've never used it before might you need to for it to show you more relevant things?

If Apollo stops working on my phone I'll basically stop being a reddit user.

I agree that nothing about the statement makes me think the risks are real however I disagree that if the risks are real these companies would stop working on their product. I think more realistically they'd shut up about the risk and downplay it a lot. Much like the oil industry did wrt climate change going back to the 70's.

lol call it what you want. protest takes form in many ways whether it's a march in the street, a prayer in a park, or simply sitting at a diner counter.

and i agree that there is a big difference between anti abortion protesters and and pro choice people. one of them has a history of murdering doctors. murders generally attract the attention of law enforcement.

This is why I keep a motorcycle for most of my daily usage. I like how dumb it is.

Why did you hate them at first? What about the experience of using the service changed your opinion?

I love the look of this thing and I'd love to own one. Unfortunately I live in America and there are very few places that I'd actually feel safe driving one of these. I live in Austin, TX and I wouldn't risk my life on the road in something like this. I wish it wasn't that way but unfortunately it is.

A list of things is not a story.

YOU'RE THE MAN NOW DOG

I've only been using Macs for a while now and was a thinkpad guy long ago so pardon my ignorance here but a touchscreen really considered common feature of a laptop now? Last I tried it I found the experience to be really awkward and not better than using a trackpad or mouse.

I dont understand this dude. He could have just made this video without the stupid bet. Are we supposed to believe it was just intended to get our attention? The only attention it got was of people who already follow him. This all seems so dumb. What am I missing?

People rarely link to research on this site or any other. It's a social network. People want to share their opinion and so they do. I cant remember the last reply to a comment I saw on here that actually linked to research.

What's the point that everyone's missing?

At Enron and Worldcom the CEOs were committing fraud. They brought that in themselves. It wasn't a "risk" they assumed. This is a bit of a ridiculous statement.

I had a bunch of tabs open and went back to the wrong one when I wanted to comment. Now I cant delete it :(

Of the nine bulleted benefits at the beginning of the article at least five can be achieved when giving two weeks notice.

Eliminate all stress from your job: the moment I've decided to leave a job, even if I haven't found the next one yet, I feel any stress dissipate almost immediately. Knowing that something unpleasant can end and that I'm going to take steps to end it is a relief.

Get paid the same. Extend your benefits for longer. Vest more stock. Get your bonus: you can achieve all of these things by simply waiting to give notice. Wait until after you've vested to the amount you want. Wait until after you've received your bonus. And obviously you get paid the same regardless of when you give notice so this is a weird benefit to cite.

Take unused vacation time: I've always taken a bunch of vacation before giving notice. Arguably that's less offensive than telling everyone, "hey my last day is in eight weeks and for a quarter of that time I'll be on vacation."

I'm sure there are companies that will wait several months for a new hire to start because they want a long petering out period with their current gig but I've never worked anywhere that would allow that for anyone other than executive or very, very high level engineer. This also seems risky because what if something happens to that job in the two to three months notice you gave?

If this had been posted three weeks ago I would have thought it was an April Fools joke.

These are capitalist enterprises here. I'd argue that product is almost all that matters. Sure someone has to innovate but the final product that can be sold is what keeps people and companies relevant.

I kinda prefer the algo feed tbh. It shows me stuff from yesterday when I didnt check the feed at all. I'm on some IRC servers and a couple discord as well and it often feels like if I don't check constantly I'll miss something and have to scroll for ages to sort it out. I don't mind that as much on those platforms but for things like IG and twitter I do enjoy the algo feed.

Whenever I see things like this – rare cloud formations, lights in the sky, etc – I always wonder what people thought was happening years ago.

I'm not a car person and not super informed about what's going on in the EV world so maybe I'm missing something obvious asking this question but... aren't most of the legacy car companies making EVs very clearly dunking on Tesla? I've been in a few recently including an Ioniq 5, Mercedes EQS, some Lexus EV. They were all really, really nice in different ways. The Mercedes was incredibly quiet (especially compared to friends' Teslas). All had great interiors and were stylish in their own ways (your taste may be different). So what gives with Tesla? Is it the supercharger network? Price?
