we just check connectivity on the front-end kind of naively by ensuring each square is adjacent to another. is that union-find? I didn't do well in algorithms class..

Here’s hoping they make another s2000

So if I understand the totality of the situation here: mans donates cameras from company he invested in, gets tax break for doing so, helps portfolio co, furthers own self-interest and propels us towards surveillance state?

Did I miss anything?

I’ve been noodling on this idea for a while but I think getting commercial acceptance would be hard. People have tried it with crypto albeit with lukewarm results. I think to have the network effects required to be successful in such an endeavor, it would have to come from a vendor like apple or google unfortunately.

You kind of want an mTLS for the masses with a chain of trust that makes sense.

I wonder if such a business model could exist where they were effectively "public" and thus, access was uniformly granted to anyone willing to pay. not sure if this would be net better for society, but an interesting thought.

I thought it was odd that there was mention of competitors but then when a feature matrix ranking them many were suddenly omitted. Then I rechecked the URL and realized this was a marketing post by milvus.

I have no skin in or say in the vector db space but do support a very large (1.4B+ vector) Vespa deployment and see 40ms p99 query times. YMMV but it seems like people sleep on Vespa for whatever reason. Again, not an endorsement but this is what we’re seeing in prod at a fortune100 co.

With a product like this that costs so much and is so deeply technical, no one is buying on emotion, so to me, omitting data is tantamount to admitting their product is inferior in some way.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall during one of their 1:1’s.

Given his wealth, this just feels lazy and unimaginative. Running a secret illegal school, okay, I get that. But getting caught up on the drop off and pick up? How does he not just build a secret tunnel entrance?

Stay up late playing

Scoutzknivez low gravity

A youth so well spent

I think if Israel went the lebensraum route, it would be WW3 for real.

Forget links, agents are gonna just go upstream to the source and buy it for you. I think it will change the game because intent will be super high and conversion will go through the roof.

Would be comedy if one of the progenitors of this took Sundar’s buyout offer yesterday and let the world burn today.

i had some interesting thoughts while playing about how this aligns with the work of startups.

Even with the constraints of time and gravity removed and with undo, it's still quite easy to make choices that keep the structure up but leave gaps which are hard to fill in. These end up leading to cruft that's hard to get rid of.

With some degree of ability to look ahead, it's hard to break away from the human psychology of aligning the structure to your expectations for a certain piece, that may or may not be coming in the near future. somewhat analogous to building for an audience that may not be there or may never come.

Despite having all advantages, it's still quite possible to paint yourself into a corner and fail.

One can learn a lot from this game if they take the time to observe it.

The article somehow misses the mark on how VC firms actually make money apart from carry, its management fees. Thus, a16z raising a 20b fund on 3% management fee and 30% carry effectively guarantees them 600M even if the fund goes to zero and they have many such funds.

Sure, they would prefer to make money through carry, but the management fee is a nice downside protection.

Tesla has minted a fortune on broken promises and vaporware. As someone who purchased FSD, would be glad to see them lose their shirts on this one.

Leadership has been pushing AI in my company for a while. Just had a massive outage because someone asked copilot how to deal with some data and it broke prod for 2 hours. Was actively asking copilot for help during the remediation. The lost revenue was probably equivalent to 20 engineers full-time. Explain to me how AI saves more money than it costs.

My personal favorite is 281-330-8004.

Wake up babe. A new Beej’s guide just dropped.

Curious why California when the kwh is so high here vs Oregon or Washington

How are the schools though? Will the kids in your commune go through LAUSD together?

Depending on your home setup, projector seems like a decent option as well.

Horrible as it was what he did, I can’t help but wonder what he could have done differently so that he wouldn’t get caught. Seems like a few small slip ups did him in, but if they never saw his face, he had a new disguise, immediately left the country, could he have evaded law enforcement?

What does the $500 a month get me? Infinite resources to scrape all of LinkedIn?

The lack of miata is always the answer comments in this thread and the readme are troubling.

CAR and NAR are going to have a field day with this one.

Can you go into a bit more detail here. Seems like there are a lot of hurdles in place to preventing any random from just moving money around?

The macroeconomic read between the lines takeaway for me from this is, these pension funds are big time LPs in VC firms. If that well dries, it has substantial downstream effects for the startup ecosystem and raising capital.

Absolutely eviscerating. Also I see this guy on some investor updates I get so I assume if he’s got enough cash to be an accredited investor he took a few chips off the table at some point.

I think the nice benefit here is because of OPs infrastructure experience and process, he can now quickly run and test new ideas and projects for a reasonable marginal cost. Seems legit. Very clean setup.
