Hi ! Thanks for sharing, it looks very comprehensive. This seems great, but quite overwhelming for very small companies. Do I need all of that between 0 and 100k ARR ? Do I need any of that in fact ? It seem all the official documents (cash flow statement, profit and loss) are made by the accountant when they are needed.

All the authors are part of OpenAI, and the very first sentence talks about computer vision and a parallel with real neurons. So "This isn't immediately clear" should be read as "I only read the title and didn't even try to understand what the article is about".

You can tidy your room and the mess (that they mistake for entropy) would be reduced. The 2nd law of thermodynamics states that in an isolated system the entropy is always increasing (or at best constant), so the room analogy does not work.

Interesting points! Thanks. I didn't know "inscrire" is a transitive verb, so indeed "s'inscrire à" is grammatically incorrect. As often with french it raises the question of "does this rule make sense regarding usage". A quick google search for "s'inscrire à une salle de sport" shows a lot of results, even from people specializing in sport. And many native speakers were fooled by this rule.

As for the "crédit", the dictionnary definition seem to state it is correct (even though "bon" would be a bit better). https://larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/cr%c3%a9dit/20314...

On a similar topic, PoC||GTFO [0] features files that are valid with multiple file formats. Issue 19 [1], for instance, "is valid as a PDF document, a ZIP archive, and a HTMLpage. It is also available as a Windows PE executable, a PNG image and an MP4 video" (see "technical note"). They are made by Ange Albertini [2] who has a great talk [3] on how he does this kind of things

product-market fit can never be achieved using this algorithm, since a product is never found: in achieveProductMarketFit.ks, _uncertainty is set to 1.0. It needs to go below the 0.8 threshold in order to get out of the loop, but _uncertainty is never updated anywhere so it can never happen. So achieveProductMarketFit won't ever return any product. QED ;)

Thanks for the work, I enjoyed trying it and loved the fact that indeed, 200 words is really achievable. I even did it twice ;) Do you have any plan for the possibility to publish "privately"? I'd like to write, but I don't want/feel the need to be read. I guess we could consider the drafts are private, but they seem like second-class citizens regarding streaks and so on.

The first paragraph of the articles says "The top left corner encodes my initials, JRH, in ASCII. The bottom right corner is my date of birth."

A high proportion of web development is done using somehow "off-the-shelf" web frameworks, and yet people write unit test/functional tests for the application logic and features. Despite how stable the base this code is written against.
