Yep, this is me as well.

Worked at YC'11 company. Went back to a <100 headcount startup.
I think the opportunity is most likely going to be taken Huawei's HarmonyOS than something like Lineage or Librem.
As such we should consider this almost a-kin to a DeepSeek level threat to international security. Google did a lot to secure our phones [0], and we were lucky their economic incentive forced them to be as open as they were.

Thank you for sharing, this is almost exactly what I've been looking for, for ages!
Working out what copilot models perform best has been a deep exercise for myself and has really made me evaluate my own coding style on what I find important and things I look out for when investigating models and evaluating interview candidates.
I think three benchmarks & leaderboards most go to are:
https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcode-models-leaderb... - which is the most understood, broad language capability leaderboad that relies on well understood evaluations and benchmarks.
https://huggingface.co/spaces/mike-ravkine/can-ai-code-resul... - Also comprehensive, but primarily assesses Python and JavaScript.
https://evalplus.github.io/leaderboard.html - which I think is a better take on comparing models you intend to run locally as you can evaluate performance, operability and size in one visualisation.
Best of luck and I would love to know which models & benchmarks you choose and why.
The only older than elders writing off the youth is the youth proving them wrong. Let's hope some follow Charlie's quote instead: "If you've got anything you really want to do, don't wait until you're 93. Start now, and don't stop!"
Also there's plenty of shows and news about MU, SSC etc. I'm also surprised that Tao's rather specifically niche blog attracts such comments. Is it possible that the other blogs are just better moderated and Professor Tao doesn't need or care to?

I think for the most part I've learnt I've learnt that much of what we think about happiness is consistently shown not to work. And that many of our expectations of what we think will make us happy, simply won't. If we want genuine happiness, it takes an honest self-assessment of what we're doing, what's stopping us from being happy and what would be the best way to map the parts of our life we can control to actually make us happy.
Anyway, the course seems well respected and highly recommended [2]. But I hope you're doing ok, and whatever you choose to do next, you find what you're looking for. Best of luck.

1) Let the arrow keys be used to move the in-game paddle.
2) The "squares" where the ball has gone through, should change colours so after a while the players are able to create their own versions Mondrian compositions.
Great work.
Why not read the pdf Pinker linked to then [0]. It's a very interesting psycho-analysis of a fictional character.

What really annoys me is how woven Google has now become to our working day processes. It's all very well having open-source alternatives for private use, but many (I included) used Inbox for work where we are obligated to use Gmail. This feels like a step backwards in many regards.
>"The privacy right established by Roe was not absolute. In the words of the Court:
'The pregnant woman cannot be isolated in her privacy. She carries an embryo and, later, a fetus, if one accepts the medical definitions of the developing young in the human uterus…. The woman’s privacy is no longer sole and any right of privacy she possesses must be measured accordingly.'
This, as we’ve witnessed in the intervening years, is the legal wedge that the anti-abortion movement has used to pick apart Roe."
As someone who has grown up in a country whose highest jurists have also historically been members of the higher parliament chamber and therefore subject to continuous parliamentary review, I'm continually interested in the way the decisions of 9 purposely separate individuals can set the political discourse of an issue of many generations, if not permanently.
Abortion with Roe vs Wade is obviously an extreme example, but are there any other times this has happened? Are there any US movements, other than extreme libertarianism or political anarchism that do away with this current process?
Any resources/book recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I still have to agree with minimaxir's comment, but I'm nowhere near as pivotal/experienced/well-versed in ML as the parent comment.
Yes, for a combination of two reasons:
1) They have obvious incentives to publish their results. 2) The more we know about vulnerabilities, the better we are at combatting ourselves against it.
That second reason is why we are (overall) better off from acknowledging possible threats to our existence. In your example, the more open the study of super-pandemics is, the more open the study of combatting against super-pandemics is. The more we are aware of a threat, the better informed we are to prevent it.
Yes, in your example, the threat could be highly dangerous and imminent. However, if only one individual was capable of creating a super-pandemic, the number of people who could potentially help stop it is drastically reduced. Rather than a free distribution of results which arms our society completely with the ability of preventing it.
My own belief is that the majority of those who rate films online tend to be of a younger demographic. As members of the Academy themselves get younger, it's not completely outside the realms of possibility that the two tastes become more aligned.
pandas.read_hdf has beaten out ray.dataframe.read_csv in terms of speed on the few files I've just initially tested now. But I imagine the programmable flexibility csvs have over hdfs (I've never used a Unix command to edit a hdf for example) is why this new approach could get some traction.
Informative, engaging and educational. Would be very keen to learn more subjects through this method.
This is a valid point, but the majority of the content in this video (and in this series) is to help entrepreneurs. As the President of YC, his entire life now is spent helping entrepreneurs and given his track record in helping companies becoming very serious brands out of quite literally nothing [1] is clearly important and something worth listening to.

Is that not exactly how a human decides which move to play?
