People here testing out the example on this page and reporting errors seem to be missing the fact that this demo is "trained" on one example. The linked paper[0] goes into error rates, and they get better pretty quickly with a few more examples.
Yeah that plus the claim of AGI in the Enterprise plan tipped me off. But you're right, I was momentarily convinced this was real and was about to very tactfully tell them they were destined for failure. :)
It took me a moment to see your point: it might take less information to store the entire game using a chess engine by entropy coding than a single position
They are privately operated since the 80s, but the vast majority of their initial development was government funded.
As far as I understand the privatized companies are monopolies-- these companies were formed from the JNR by geographic area served (hence "JR East", "JR West" etc.)
In major cities like Tokyo and Osaka, J(N)R is far from the only player in town, there are numerous "really" private railways like Keikyu, Odakyu, Keio, Tokyu etc. And they all followed the same very profitable playbook of snapping up rural land, building a train line to it, and then building/selling off rights to build apartments, shopping malls etc on the now much more valuable land.
If you were to talk in terms of asset value, then yes, the government did fund most of it; but that was because the Shinkansen were enormously expensive compared to the old, narrow curvy mainline network. In fact, the large Shinkansen debts are why JNR had to be privatized; the government restructured the private groups so that all the debt was confined to a ‘bad bank’ paid for by the government.
That article didn't touch on what happened before JGR/JNR. Prior to railway nationalization around 1906-1910, most lines beyond Tokyo-Osaka were built and owned by private companies. This includes Sanyo Main Line (previously built and owned by Sanyo Railway, not to be confused with today Sanyo Electric Railway), and Tohoku Main Line (previously built and owned by Nippon Railway).
The original lines may be from the private era but JNR also built a lot.
The Saikyo, Keiyo, and Musashino Lines in Tokyo were all built by JNR. So was all the Shinkansen. And all the main lines around Tokyo were quadrupled or sextupled by JNR at great cost. And let’s not forget the feats of the Kanmon tunnel to Kyushu, the Seikan tunnel to Hokkaido, and the Great Seto Bridge to Shikoku.
Tokyo Metro and Toei are also state-owned, and private operators directly benefit from the through operations into the Yamanote loop.
> help me determine what % of the company I'd be getting in this stage?
Just ask them what % of the company you'd be getting at this stage. They should absolutely tell you that; that's the high order bit of equity compensation negotiations. If they don't tell you up front they're wasting your time.
Early-stage startups need mutually trusting relationships in the team. If they don't trust you enough to tell you, or you don't trust them enough to believe their answer, equity comp numbers are not the issue here.
I run tmux in vterm in emacs rather than multiple vterm buffers because as awesome as emacs is it still crashes or just becomes unusable with enough uptime. This way I can bounce emacs without losing my terminals.
I still use Screen/TMux to run servers, or any process that I need to keep running for a long time and still maintain control over it's STDIN/STDOUT.
But now that I use Emacs "shell-mode" I hardly ever use Screen/TMux anymore. I don't even use Bash anymore, I switch my default shell to Dash, because I don't need Bash's tab-complation in Shell-mode. I use Emacs's tab completion instead.
