Looks nice. I didn't see any time series use for trend analysis, will you be adding support for that? I think that's the area where I've seen the most demand for this type of assisted data exploration.

I also noticed that you have your org id in your LLM trace - does that mean that you are trusting your agent to limit the orgs it queries? If so that seems quite dangerous as it could be tainted by prompt injection, no?

> "DNA vaccines have never been deployed because of serious concerns about the patient’s genes being modified by the vaccine."

This is a false statement.

Here's an article debunking these kinds of claims: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-covid-19-vaccin...

From the article: "Mark Lynas, a visiting fellow at Cornell University’s Alliance for Science group, debunked the idea that a DNA vaccine could genetically modify an organism. Lynas told Reuters that no vaccine can genetically modify human DNA.

“That’s just a myth, one often spread intentionally by anti-vaccination activists to deliberately generate confusion and mistrust,” he said. “Genetic modification would involve the deliberate insertion of foreign DNA into the nucleus of a human cell, and vaccines simply don’t do that. Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a pathogen when it attempts to infect the body - this is mostly done by the injection of viral antigens or weakened live viruses that stimulate an immune response through the production of antibodies.”"

Totally agree. The creativity is still there, it just shifted to the latest medium that's easily available. Nobody could make cheap quick videos back before iphones and certainly couldn't view them easily on the web until YouTube came along.

And on that point it seems that Flash helped to kill itself by accelerating ubiquitous web video.

Thanks! Seeing this reminded me of this basketball being dropped off the edge of a dam:

The UI is made with Flutter, which can be used for Android & iOS apps today: https://flutter.io/

So... Instagram?

"If the company sells for a more modest $250M, between taxes and the dilution that inevitably will have occurred, your 1% won't net you as much as you'd intuitively think. It will probably be on the same order as what you might have made from RSUs at a large public company, but with far far more risk involved. Don't take my word for it though; it's pretty simple math to run the numbers for a spread of sale prices and dilution factors for yourself before joining, so do so."

This is key when you are thinking about joining a startup. If you can land a job at $BigTechCompany that pays a bonus and RSUs that refresh every year, it's likely a much safer bet and will have much lower risk.

There's also this tutorial from a while back:

Here's a different version with source code, not sure if it's the same planets:

> So instead of encouraging (or mandating?) young folks get trained or educated (or both!), we simply give them money for existing? I don't see how that solves the bigger issue.

No, you give them money to pay rent and eat while they go to school if they want to, or learn whatever new skills they might be interested in instead of having to wait tables.

Plenty of people would love to go to school but can't afford to on a minimum wage job.

You can still track users just fine without Flash - the VPAID spec calls for allowing cross-domain "Friendly" scripting access, which is horrible for users.[1]

The only problem with Javascript adoption was the availability of Javascript based ads and support for this VPAID style tracking.

[1] http://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/VPAID_2_0_Fina... - VPAID 2.0 spec, section 8.1.3: "The VPAID ad unit is rendered within a friendly IFRAME (FIF) and can access the DOM of the page in which the player is rendered."

I'd recommend one of the open source players, like video.js[1]. Unless you are doing some really advanced things it should cover your needs.

There's a more recent article in the New Yorker that follows Mr. Bostrom around a bit and is a good general read: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/doomsday-invent...

I suspect we'll see an explosion in popularity of "drones" that are just small enough to to avoid these regulations.

Looks like it. And Hackpad is now open source: https://github.com/hackpad

For those of us in NYC, I recommend keeping an eye on the nonsensenyc mailing list:

There's usually a handful of interesting events going on around the city and will often lead you to strange new places (in a good way).

Burning Man was better last year, too.

The study measured the ability to "mindread" and that sentence simply states that the women in the study performed better in that test. It's not a generalized statement about women.

There's an app for iOS, Android, and a web app for desktop (and I think mobile web, though I've never used it).

I wonder what prompted it, and if this means they could potentially fine anyone flying RC/Drone aircraft in that area during the NOTAM.

They shouldn't be emailing around "highly confidential brokerage account information" in the first place. It should be locked down in some internal system. Poor practice from GS that caused it all in the first place.

Agreed. Saying that communities decay is the same as saying pop music sucks because it appeals to the masses. Millions of people love that content and who are you to say whether they should enjoy it or not?

We should be building better tools that can adapt and grow with the community.

I wrote about this a couple of years ago, with a possible set of solutions: https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/c4c4074591ba

I wrote a post a while back about how the design of your social tools can help solve this problem:

https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/c4c4074591ba

If you look at sites that are based on following users or categories they are able to scale to much larger sizes without breaking down.

People think Weird Twitter is weird, but it's no competition for Weird YouTube.

> "It's not worth it to be an employee of a startup. You need to be a founder."

Yup. If you can get a job at a tech company that offers high compensation, you will likely make more there (and gain lots of great experience) than you will at a startup.

Look at the value over 4 years: - Startup salary (~$100k-ish) vs. Tech co (~$140k-ish+) - Startup equity could be worth $1,000,000 if you get 1% and the company sells for 100 million (obviously there can be other factors here, but lets just use that number) - Large co. Stock grant could be 150k-200k+(or more!) over 4 years, and you'll likely get refresher grants on top of that each year. And the stock price will likely go up over those 4 years. So after year 4 you are making quite a bit off of your vesting stocks.

There's also a pretty good chance the startup will fail, which would net you nothing but a sub-market salary for the last few years, so it will be harder for you to negotiate a higher salary at your next gig. Or if you are acqui-hired, you'll get some small hiring bonus and then have to wait 4 more years for your new stock to vest.

To me, the only time joining a startup and taking below-market compensation is if you are just starting out and want to gain some experience you might not get at a more established company, or perhaps your skills aren't up to par so you can't get past the interviews[1].

Or maybe you just like the "startup culture", and that's cool, but why not start your own thing instead?

[1] Note that if your startup gets acqui-hired, you'll probably have to interview anyway, which could result in not getting an offer!

"A few months ago while tagging my wife"

"This morning I told her I Instagrammed a photo of our kids that she should see."

Instagram names are not domain names, and it sounds like she doesn't use the account. Most services have a clause that lets them reclaim inactive accounts after a set period of time.

What about the sync client?

It varies by deal. If you are a hot-shit growing company, you obviously have more leverage to negotiate for your employees and can get them full-time positions with good retention bonuses/stock.

If you are running out of money and don't have a choice, then your employees are probably going to be rolled into an existing product, and at that point, there's probably not a lot of benefit to Google to hire sub-par employees, so they may not get an offer or might get less than in the above case.

It also depends on what your team does: A failing company that does hard core research and employs a bunch of Phds might be worth a lot more than a random social startup that just employs a bunch of randos.
