It's dual licensed in a way, but neither license is open source. The OSI messed up in not coming up with an answer to the SSPL, and now ambitious projects that would have traditionally gone with an open source license like AGPL are now

One of my more painful design mistakes happened in this sort of way when designing a system for recording inspections. I interviewed multiple inspectors and came up with a representation that was a little bit more elaborate than I would hav

Exactly, and since it's good to profit, and it's good to have fun, surely it's the smart people who are doing that, and the dumb people who are resisting. I certainly feel dumb for dismissing crypto as only an effective store

Filters. If you can come up with a problem where incorrect solutions can be filtered out, and you accept that LLM outputs are closer to a correct answer than a random string then LLM's are a way to get to a correct answer faster than p

Exactly, but surely they weren't actually losing money? Why not keep the business afloat selling expensive drones to specialty companies until the broader market picked up as they envisioned it would when they bought the company. I thi

The company is still thriving, you can check out their website to find out more about what real estate inspection is about (in The Netherlands): https://www.aeroscan.nl/

Intel bought a drone company that was producing the only drone that was good enough for my real estate inspection company to use. They acquired it and then killed it a year or two after. The inspection industry didn't have a proper dro

Planks and beams rot substantially slower than they take to grow if built correctly. My house was cheap labor housing in the 1910's so no particularly fancy practice and only the exposed wood has been partly replaced. I've been to

Their wishlist is composability, being able to write performant code, being able to perform other low-level operations, being able to use assembly and a reasonably easy build system. I'd argue that's not just a fairly common list

I don't know about YT kids, but Ms Rachel on YouTube is a really good show for babies / toddlers. On Netflix there's Kit & Sam that's a really cool series, it's apparently from the same makers as octonauts which

It's not just a pity, it's very surprising. In my eyes Go is a direct competitor of C#. Whenever you pick Go for a project, C# should have been a serious consideration. Hejlsberg designed C# and that a team that he's an autho

I agree with your rant, but it's not relevant to this thread. GP asked a question about how Trump's behavior could be explained and I explained it. If you can't understand someone's behavior and you think everything they

Coding agents are increasingly moving to have the human after the loop instead of somewhere in it. That's a good thing, because being in the middle of something else's thought process basically turns you into a tool without any

Nice! Could you maybe share some cool things that you've used it for? I love that your demo is it adding a feature to itself. We did the exact same thing for our OSS autonomous agent: https://github.com/bosun-ai/kw

You don't have to ask this sort of question. He literally says it in the discussion. He wanted to show the world Zelensky's attitude. And he was successful in doing so Trump failed to make the deal, they tried to get resources for

European VC's missed five unicorns that are currently valued at over 2BN euro each. This study shows that VC's misallocate capital in predictable patterns by analyzing a dataset of french companies and investments. These patterns

Joke's on us, the VC's are using LLM's to evaluate the pitch decks.

Maybe I'm naive but I don't think you need to construct an argument of ill intent/deceit to explain Tesla's actions and marketing. Nothing Tesla has done is in conflict with the strategy laid out at the beginning which w

Well yes, in the sense that Al Capone famously got nailed on not filing income taxes. But of course, if Al Capone had told the IRS that he got his money through extortion and illegal liquor, gambling and drugs or whatever it was he did then

You have money you can't explain to the IRS how you got it, that's dirty money. Now you use some clean money to buy a kebab shop. Every day you give your dirty money to the kebab shop, the kebab shop prints fake receipts. Now the

As father to a toddler, the diapers we have (pampers brand) definitely contain these extremely absorbent polymers. They never leak and can contain insane amounts of liquid. Sometimes you forget about the diapers for half a day and there&#x2

No, it's like a teacher's assistant using a answer sheet provided by the professor to grade exams. A common practice at the university I went to and accurate enough in most cases. The problem of matching an answer to a given answe

Potty would be a small pot, for keeping the lentils. Crib is a mistranslation, I don't know German well enough to know if it's even a possible translation but the word means small crop. The ashes go into the crop because they are

I'm a Rust coder who also occasionally watches Prime, and I've never seen Prime casually pour gasoline on fires. Yes his whole business model is reacting to whatever content is hot right now, but he always does so in a considerate

The article is literally just not on point. They're confused about what NPS is for, and wrote a confused article about it. I agree that it's very useful to track where your leads come from, and I love the short radio button lists

by tinco 2y ago
No, the goal of tracking NPS is to find out whether the customer enjoys the product enough that they would recommend it. Whether the customer would recommend it to other potential customers is almost completely irrelevant. The article is th

Banks are service providers. They are the middlemen between entities that have money and entities that need money. They make the deal (a loan/mortgage) and then skim some off the top. There is real economic benefits derived from banks.

They pay themselves 200k/y in a pre-market fit startup? That's insane and I guess on the investors for going over the traditional preseed amounts. Or do you mean that they're zombie startups that make enough to pay the founde
