That's an interesting take on the subject. Personally, my "smart" appliances run on a closed Wi-Fi network, disconnected from the internet (the access point is a raspberry pi, which itself is connected to the rest of the network). I wouldn't trust any of these not to phone home, and everything can work offline if needs be.

I tend to prefer open-source compatible solutions (such as broadlink devices with python-broadlink), but my understanding is that the Amazon ecosystem is a closed "walled garden" one. Are you confident enough in Amazon to trust that your products will continue working in the future? Are you really willing to lose your lights in case of an internet outage?
This is unfathomably harder than anything YC has ever dealt with in the past. Judging by what happened with IBM's Watson and Theranos I really doubt Sam will be given a blank check for the black box that is likely to emerge.
I thought the same, though the second one along seemed to have dodgy audio too yet that was real.

This exactly. I am pretty sure that if you gain [adb] shell access inside of an android recovery partition (as a random example), you have read-only access to the system, with only busybox at your disposal. Thus vi, but no nano.
>> even on Windows, JavaScript is one browser window away

I have nothing but love for Bill Gates' software. I programmed my vic 20 using his BASIC.

In my twenties I had no trouble picking up WINTEL + JS. But that's because I had already learnt what is computing. I had already realized what is a virtual machine and what is a "high-level language".

When I try to explain to my kids the architecture that is today's computing I don't know where to start. Now I wish there where sprites. When I was ten I grasped the concept or sprites.

There is a fair amount of cargo-culting in the following statement but I still believe in it:

If we had maintained the 8-bit architecture and even 6502 as a "gateway drug", today, we would be much better off. Talent is hard to find, in my mind, because there is no longer a C64.
OpenSSL code and docs are still a huge mess.
How much would it cost to buy every domain name?
Very limited shared state (only c types, including structs), which in practice means (for non trivial apps) some form of marshaling from python classes to the C structs. Boilerplate abound!
In other words, nothing behind mmap with simple size calculations, which is what you'd really want to abstract away.

I know Nancy Klimas and her team in Florida do a lot of Gulf War Illness research. They liken it to being a relative of ME/CFS but I seem to recall they say it does differ in some pretty key ways that suggest it’s a distinct illness. ISTR they’ve found evidence of differences in cytokine levels and other markers of immune function in their research. I would investigate her work if it’s of interest.
Libraries like this are an argument for dynamic types. In Clojure, all libraries work with associative or sequential collections, which is why you can compose supdate with literally anything.

We do lose the embedded proofs that statically typed APIs give. We regain some of the confidence with clojure.spec'ing them.

I wonder if there's a way to make a compile time spec - enforce contracts at API boundaries, but let stuff like supdate work in a highly generic way in between. C++ templates and Rust traits could work, but everyone would need to agree on a core set to use.
Huh. I don't think of Honeycomb and ELK as a "versus" relationship. Don't they solve different problems?
How does the GIL help you write concurrent code?

As I tend not quit vi that often compared to the time I spend inside, I prefer to use the more explicit version. I have made some mistakes in the past typing `^X-O` in nano instead of `^X-N` because of muscle memory, thereby overwriting a file I didn't want, and I am afraid of repeating this if `ZZ` became part of my muscle memory.

Well I am aware of the dilema. But your argument the usual defense line of war criminals. "I had to do that, if not me someone else will do it instead".

Each of us is taking some moral choices. Tim Cook isn't acting under a gun to his head.

Public speaking where Cook is signalling concern about enviroment is just hypocrytical virtue signaling in my humble opinion.
That makes a lot more sense in the UK with 220V, where standard wall juice has some kick.

In countries with 110V, the car charger that comes with your EV is a trickle charger. Non-teslas (like a LEAF) only charge at 3-6 miles of range per hour, and Teslas are almost half that, over standard 110V.
Until someone adds a callback from C back into Python and the unexpected GIL contention makes performance dramatically worse even as compared to the single-threaded version.
I think it neglects Dan's original point. Say you're doing a search input that filters a list of elements using fuzzy matching. No amount of optimization in your components or the framework is going to make the fuzzy string matching library you use work faster. Faster renders might make more room for the main thread to update, but fundamentally the problem persists. Concurrent React would allow you to type while the fuzzy matching happens asynchronously.

This is different than the demo shown. The demo with the charts is very render heavy. It's an unrealistic experience (and in my opinion, it is regretful that it was used to show the power of async rendering). In any real application, if you're rerendering thousands of nodes on every key press when their component instances are not changing input/state, something is very wrong. A fuzzy string matching filter is a much better example of this, since the visibility of each item is dependent on the state of the text input.

Sure, not all items in your list will update simultaneously. But are they really all visible on screen? Do they really all do need to be updating instantly? The overhead of the framework is almost certainly negligible here either way. But the scheduling that takes place is going to be critical, because that's what will directly affect how the app's performance is perceived by the user.
Far better idea is to remove as much cancerous bureaucratic institutions as possible. Starting from those which promote dangerous massive top-down health advices and policies, especially which add this or that pill for non-emergency "preconditions".

Physicists Create Quantum-Scale “Mona Lisa”
I remember as I was working my way through the "Programming Phoenix" book, I felt that the whole idea of "context" modules seemed like an unnecessary indirection. Why put all those functions in a separate module instead of just doing the work in the controller? In my initial use cases I'd end up with an AccountController that just calls a function in the Accounts module which in turn uses the User module to actually interact with the database.

Once I actually started building stuff and writing tests I had my aha-moment. By putting most of my logic in a separate 'context' module, I could both use and test all that without having to do all the bootstrapping that was necessary to run the web-framework controller logic.

While this might seem obvious to some, for me it felt like a proper level-up as a developer, as I suddenly realized how the same principle could be applied in other contexts.
Even better than recycling is being able to repair and continue using.

Not only that, but effectively saying, "hey, nevermind the tens of trillions in debt the country is, spend more."
Drupal 6/7 would be an example for "widely used [at the time] but pretty bad". I don't know how many of the issues across all layers were addressed in later versions.

OpenSSL is still an excellent example for very messy code where even maintainers / frequent contributors regularly get lost. Also a good example for designing many bad APIs and poor docs. libsodium is a good counterexample, although the internal structuring of the code base is a bit atypical, it is logical and consistent. (It does have some API idiosyncrasies which cater specifically to dynamic bindings, like providing a constant always as a #define/macro but also as an exported function; and it has a bit of an issue where you have both legacy APIs and newer APIs, but the docs are pretty clear on which is which).

BorgBackup is an example of how you don't want to mix C and Python code, and also contains various bits that only 1-2 people on the planet really bothered to understand, besides demonstrating other issues of organically grown code bases.
I wonder if that was poor wording from the reporter. They write “capped” but then describe a liquidation preference.
It's not even that. You just need something simple to get started with that produces instant results and is built in to the computer.

Ex: VBScript, bash, python, etc.

You don't explain everything from scratch.
Not to the degree that PHP is hated.

Agreed. It seems extremely naive that they believe they can control the power of AGI, plus it is borderline ridiculous that their goal for AGI is to capture economic value.
The Do's and Don'ts of Good Logo Design
I think someone starting, or intermediate, or perhaps advanced won't be able to tell what's good or bad... even I have problems sometimes identifying what would be the best approach of implementing a good design and could end up implementing a bad one easily.

And refactoring as almost always a must... unless you are stuck in a legacy support project where you are just hacking fixes away despite the glaring flaws and the client doesn't want to spend any more money on improving things.
You failed to understand that at least majority of people who engage in economic activities are greedy. This is also what communists deny the most and why they always fail.
I'm not sure where I'd recommend anyone (child or adult) start learning how to program. After BASIC disappeared, I always thought Javascript was a good starting place, but even that ecosystem has gotten crazy complex.

Beyond charging infrastructure, I wonder whether the main obstacle to get over is base power generation. If the bulk of the transportation system electrifies, we're going to need a lot more power stations.

Now more than ever we need fusion to be less than 50 years away - by the sounds of it, much less... .
I mean, I don't disagree. But it doesn't just touch electric cars - hybrids are affected too. And it's just bizzare to me that you could have a £39k diesel or a £40k hybrid and the latter will actually pay more in annual tax despite being more ecologically friendly, purely because of the purchase price. If I was in the market for a vehicle like that the extra "luxury" tax would probably steer me towards the non-hybrid option, and that's not what we want customers to do, is it? I don't know. Maybe I just can't relate to the whole idea of this tax, the only intuitive way that I understand it is "how dare you buy an expensive car, fuck you, here's extra tax"(despite the fact that obviously VAT applies equally so the more expensive the car the more tax you pay anyway....)
Hibernate Introduction
Let me try - briefly - to explain why that is nonsense.

If AGI ever comes to fruit it will cause such a huge disruption that anything that came before it will not be useful in trying to predict aspects of the world after it. For all we know the people that backed it will be hunted down like rats for extermination.

If you own the lamppost, perhaps you could own orchestration of power delivery as well?

If load exceeds tolerances, the EV plugs apply a "rolling blackout" that oscillates through the network every N minutes, to give every car at least some juice?

Also, typical EV eMPG is double an ICE. LEAFs are 124/90 eMPG City/Highway, for example. That makes your math for doubling electrical production a bit less scary. The fact that EV charging is commonly off peak also makes it more convenient for the grid.
> and the App Store editors do try to highlight them,

That’s funny, because I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of the App Store.

The one function I’ve been waiting for, both directly as a customer and as a parental control, is to be able to have the app store search filter out results with in-app purchases.

Right now there is no way to effectively -find- real premium games, let alone purchase them. Of course they’re going to die under the flood of freemium garbage.
Not sure if this fits within your definition of strategy, but Mini Metro is a great example of a game that "works" on mobile.

Didn't down vote, but the original mvc was a bit subtler than that - originally dubbed user-model-view-controller - the idea was that the user has a mental model of the domain, and the computer has a concrete data model - and the user can act on a view via controllers to translate changes in their mental model to the underlying data model.

(one example of this, while not very graphical, might be a withdrawal from a bank account;the program stores a transaction - the user sees a "Change" in amount available in the account - in the user's mind there's 300 dollars in the account before withdrawing 100 dollars, and 200 after - but this view is a (beneficial lie - the "account" is merely a sum of transactions).

In short mvc wasn't really about a tight mapping between widgets and internal state of the data model - but about translating between the users idea of the domain model and the implementation.

But certainly implementing mvc in a object/message oriented language like smalltalk leads to data flow of input event > controller translation > model update > view update.

I recommend reading the paper, it's short and an easy read.
The cap is one of the reasons this wager might actually be great marketing.

- General hubris (ambition?) weeds out skeptics (curmudgeons?) In the audience right away. Not the intended buyer!

- Every minute a potential investor spends contemplating the impact of a 100x return cap is a moment they are framing on that outcome.

- OpenAI already proved that they can advance the cutting edge on specific AI tasks. In that context, AGI is a good smokescreen (or the kind of North star that you navigate toward without reaching). It's attractive to idealistic investors and new hires, but also justifies pragmatic research.

I don't put weight on the AGI goal, but I fully believe that Sam can help find business models in the research projects that can be executed with a critical mass of talent and capital.
Sadly, as far as I know, it's impossible to short startups, but I wish it were otherwise.

After I made a comment hear last year about prediction markets and startups [1] a VC got in touch with me to kick the idea around. To my mind one of SV's big problems is the high level of hype and herd-following. It's a certainty money is getting wasted on fashionable ideas of the day (e.g., "Uber for X"), and some sort of informational corrective could get VCs better returns. But we couldn't figure out a sustainable way to fund it.

The Minoan civilization flourished on the Isle of Crete in the Mediterranean from 3000 to 100 BCE. Until Roman times, Minoan plumbing and drainage were the most developed in what was then the Western World.

> 3. What Rails calls "views" should be though of as simple html templates with loops and simple if/else, but no complex logic.

I rather like how Phoenix makes a clear separation between views and templates. The templates have no logic, but the views can have quite a bit of it as long as it is directly linked to the templates (presentational).
It has little impact on fasting cholesterol, but absolutely raises your blood cholesterol after eating it. So e.g. you eat one egg, you get a spike in blood cholesterol. Wait 8 hours, it's gone. So it would seem that if your baseline fasting blood cholesterol is "healthy", eating one meal a day that leads to a spike in blood cholesterol should not be an issue. The problem is if you eat an egg for breakfast, then bacon on toast for brunch, then a steak for lunch, then an afternoon snack and then a burger for dinner. In that scenario your body can't clear out the dietary cholesterol you've ingested and you absolutely have a persistent raise in blood cholesterol.

Of course then there's still the question of if cholesterol is a cause of, or an indication of increased danger of cardiovascular disease. This guy [1] summarises several studies and it comes out as a shrug. At least we know that statins do help people to not have a second heart attack. The science on this is progressing slowly partly because you need to run 10-year long trials on thousands of people to get good data.

> fall along the lines of "fail to see the forest for the trees"

I think I'm going to need an example to understand this?

Having said that, one of the most informative programming books I've ever read was C Traps And Pitfalls. Flags common easily-made errors and explains them, which in turn fixes misconceptions about the language. I feel most languages could do with one.
I feel it's not that PHP is low bar but rather widely accessible out of the box on almost all web hosting services... you don't have to set up a lot of stuff before running your web application.

I'd argue the only reason PHP still remains at the top is because no one has made X language to work out of the box with cpanel installations and run with little to no modification to run, lets say, django apps or RoR apps. Maybe if Python or any other language spent more time on improving that type of accessibility in the realm of web applications we could see PHP fragmenting in the later years...

If you like board games at all, there are a ton of board game adaptations. The unique thing about board game apps is they seem to be one of the few categories of games that can still get away with charging money up front for their audience, and not having any free to play garbage in them. They're about the only apps I still get for mobile platforms, nowadays.

Twilight Struggle, for example, is a very thematic and deep board game about the Cold War, that for years was the highest rated game on BoardGameGeek, and they made a great version for mobile. By the way, the board game was designed by Ananda Gupta also designed the video game XCOM: Enemy Within. https://www.pockettactics.com/reviews/review-twilight-strugg...

Through the Ages is another popular and deep strategy board game that's about building up civilizations over time, and it has a really excellent mobile version (so good that a lot of people prefer it to playing the board game version): https://www.throughtheages.com/

Race for the Galaxy is another good one, where you're trying to build up an engine, but faster than your opponents. Has tons of cards with unique properties and yet it plays pretty quickly. https://www.pockettactics.com/reviews/review-race-for-the-ga...

Pandemic is another modern classic game about trying to keep four different viruses contained as well as possible around the planet while searching for a cure. It's a bit lighter than the others I mentioned mechanically, but it can still be a tricky puzzle of efficiency, trade-offs, and pushing your luck, especially at higher difficulty levels:
https://www.pockettactics.com/reviews/review-pandemic-board-...

There's a section on BoardGameGeek for iOS Board Game news (seems to also have Android and Steam in there also) that is my usual go-to to find out what board games are being adapted to mobile. Here's the link: https://boardgamegeek.com/blogcategory/108
