The market for bounties is a circus, breadcrumbs for free work from people trying to 'make it'. The number of CVSS vulns with a score above 8 that have floated across the front page of HN in the past year without anyone getting paid tells you that much.

You make it sound like there's a ton of people going around who can just dig up CVSS vulns above 8 and is making me all confused. Is that really happening? I have a single bounty on H1 just to show I could do it, and that still took ages and was a shitty bug.

I'm curious about this though, does a rich man actually wear the same pair of boots for 10 years?

That being said, I've noticed that a lot of clothes that I bought 10 years ago or so are of pretty high quality compared to today, (and no, they are not rich man's clothes). Some of them I actually have been wearing for more than 10 years now.

If you want more entrepreneurial type stories.

When the heavens went on sale, by Ashly Vance, is pretty good. It details the early days of the space start-ups other than spaceX

The Founders: The Story of Paypal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley is also pretty good, describes the crazy days of early paypal.

Someone already mentioned Liftoff by Erig Berger. Starting a private space company is probably as hard as things get, and it describes the early days pretty well

No, the comments are not confused. I wouldn't consider myself as a expert, but I've worked a lot with evolutionary algorithms. This is not a good work and should be rejected from ICLR, although again it is my personal opinion. Terminologies are there to help distinguish between different concepts, not to be obscured in some handwavy way to seem deep and knowledgable to sucker some ICLR paper reviewer with no scientific rigor. It is indeed possible to optimize NNs using GAs but claiming diffusion is an evolutionary algorithm is a huge stretch, and they even didn't draw the connection properly in the paper. There might be something worthwhile in their work but I would say portraying it this way is just flat-out not correct.

I don't really know much about ic manufacturing.

Are you sure university labs are really able to to this? If so how come only a few companies like tsmc and that one Dutch company are able to manufacture microchips? Or are those two completely different things and I'm just confusing myself?
