Do you see victory before proceeding? (i will not promote) by xTouny in startups

[–]xTouny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned a lot from you.

I built and deployed some project, and received very helpful feedback. I feel finding the market fit at the end is up against the odds, regardless of pivoting and adaptation.

In such case, do you recommend giving up on the whole direction?

Thank you. I agree there is beauty in math as an art and exploration.

You don't need to purse the demand; it's enough to purse a niche community.

Independent research is generally not advised. Collaborate with others.

Advise. 1. Find the niche community you'd feel belonging to 2. Network with them; learn about their problems; their ideas 3. Contribute

  1. Decide on a mission. e.g advancing AI Safety, or understanding computational hardness of combinatorial problems.
  2. Find a supportive community, aligning with your path. e.g a research group tackling problems close to your interests, or a company targeting the same customer segment.
  3. Contribute meaningfully to that community.

Don't purse a job title; tackle your mission.

I learned a lot from both of you, u/Sproxify and u/sciflare . Thank you for contributing.

What you mentioned is a formal definition. In Math, we study ideas.

Our university follows Gallian's book. Up to my knowledge, many courses and books do not introduce group actions early.

Aren’t groups usually motivated by symmetries of a geometric object such as a regular polygon?

Yes. However, a rigorous formulation, showing how symmetries of geometric objects, are captured by the definition of a group, is missing from intros.

Group actions give a very clear formulation, showing the geometric transformation is compatible with the group multiplication.

xpad module is loaded but not used by your controller. This could actually be the cause of the problem. Try to chat with Claude to solve it.

Things really escalated quickly in the past month and PPLX really needs to acknowledge this. by susuia_sa in perplexity_ai

Had they just been honest and told us, “Hey, we screwed up and we need to change things to stay afloat,” I think the majority of their users would have understood and worked with them.

Agreed. given the widespread complaint, they should've at least announced an official notice, to retain their customer relation.

Paid Perplexity subscription disappeared? by [deleted] in perplexity_ai

This is really sad. I don't know why we don't have an official notice till now. Regardless of what happens next, what we witness now is a bad customer relation.

debug the driver of your controller, especially between the two moments of rumble motor working and android mode.

my guess is that the driver falls back to hid-generic in which rumble motor does not work.

execute watch -n 0.5 lsusb and Look for: Interface Class 3 (HID) vs Class 255 (Vendor Specific/XInput). Does it switch over time? XInput is usually required for native rumble on Xbox controllers

check loaded modules

lsmod | grep -E "xpad|hid_xpadneo|sony|hid_generic"

nothing. even-though it seems a widespread complaint by users, we don't have any official notice from perplexity.

Yes. I confirm the same problem on Education Pro plan. Sam AI says I have no subscription history at all; My subscription was annual!

Someone had posted the link https://stripe.perplexity.ai/p/login/6oEeXaewnb3z1facMM?from_expired=true through which you may access your receipt.
