My thought exactly! First the usage limits + model limitations and now fundamental change to the billing. Hope some consumer watchdogs are looking into this!

There is but I don’t think this is it.

I’ve worked most of my career in US tech satellite offices and I have not experienced EU team members to be less productive than US team members, nor spend less time on work (if anything, more really since they also need to be available for US time zone overlap).

It’s true there are chill jobs here, as there are in the US.

But ambitious people tend to work as much as ambitious US people (and it’s really more like 40 hours work weeks - 39,5 where I live since lunch is not work time). But again, many are not really counting, it’s just a full time job.

Vacations (typically 3 weeks summer holiday and additional weeks to distribute over the year) does create longer time on skeleton crew. Skilled tech labour is also cheaper so you can just hire more to make up for it.

Are you hiring internationally (EU specifically) or only US?

Transparent screens doesn’t make much sense for consumer TVs (I know the article indeed points to other use-cases). You still need a black background to facilitate display of black content.

Couldnt you just add an LCD layer that turns on when you turn the TV on, to act as a black substrate?

Doesn't the screen just go black as needed?

More likely crash looping of so many VMs overloading some system with insufficient back pressure, possibly combined with unfortunate cluster management scheduler behavior at this scale of crash looping (e.g. too eager to retry scheduling instances, maybe even on new hosts which causes more infrastructure load).

I believe Show HN is also what is suggested in guidelines for non-YC startups that are not allowed to use Launch HN (although some text along with the post would have been nice).

Exactly. It’s just leveling the playing field. I’ve been doing generated cover letters based on cv, job post and a few other data sources with manual review + adjustments with a very decent callback rate.

Sounds interesting, any reading material you could point to about this?

Hmmm it’s a very hard thing to sum up in one piece, not sure I have a good author… I highly recommend skimming Marvin Minsky’s “The Frame Problem” (TL;DR personal assistants will only be helpful once they have intuition), and Picardy writings on Affective computing (TL;DR computers need to simulate our mental states in order to help us effectively). This is a good reminder to look for more lit though!

Philosophy wise, I’m frustratingly forgetting the two people who write about how one’s consciousness can be said to include things like personal journals, record books, calendars, etc. The idea is that you’re offloading part of your mind into artificial forms, in a very meaningful and real way. Will update if I remember their names soon! In the meantime, this is a great skim on the more general topic IMO: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity-personal/

Thanks!

At least in danish, we have “bedstemor” which behaves likes “oldemor” in being the mother or fathers mom so it’s really that form that is consistent with the system and not the parent-specific forms.

Long-range got a bump of about 5% WLTP if I remember then numbers correctly.

Ah ok - it looks like it is due differences in measuring standards.
