The way we work is changing. Less people are going into a physical location. More people are doing knowledge work or creative work at home by themselves. The office is moving online.

But for some reason, when things go online everyone becomes obsessed with data and productivity. Are you transcribing your meetings? Did you optimize your note-taking workflow? What keyboard shortcuts are you using? This leads to the sterile, generic software tools popping up every day optimized for eking out that last bit of output. Humanity is completely traded for efficiency.

Over the last year and a half, it's become apparent to me (and to the team here at Macro) that what we need more authentic, human connection not ultra-productive work streams. We need more people feeling like they can bring their full selves to work. We need to realize that burnout is a much bigger problem than remote workers not getting things done. We need to bring empathy and emotion into the virtual world we now work in.

We completely rebuilt Macro over the past year to focus on doing just that. It's a Zoom client (so you can join any Zoom meeting with it) that is completely redesigned for expression and inclusion. We subtly show you how much you're talking so you can pull in people who have trouble joining in the conversation. We let you change the shape and color of your video stream to feel more comfortable with people staring at your face every day. We let you organize your window that way you want so you can feel most at home in a meeting with your team. We optimize for fun and hopefully help reduce some Zoom fatigue.

It's been a tough road technically to build Macro with the level of reliability and feature parity people expect from a new videoconferencing client. We've been frantically writing Typescript, Obj-C, Swift, and everything in the middle to bring a client that delights without sacrificing functionality. Because of that, we're macOS only for now (let's just say there's a lot of native code that has to be written for each platform) but we're actively working on adding more support! I'd love to hear your feedback :)
Nice. I will consider.

We give every app instance it's own server (VM) and database. It is completely isolated from all other instances of the same app. The developer has no access to your app instances or their data. Take a look at our sister product for the technical details "Deta Cloud" (deta.sh)

We don't have much information on Space as we're still in the alpha stage.
This is all been tried before. It is the same as defined benefit pension funds with a board of trustees made up of union members. Anyway you cut it, if there is a board tasked with allocating a big pot of money, there will be corruption.

So far the least corrupt method is a low cost broad market index fund. There are fewer people in the chain of decision making, hence less agency risk. Passive index funds do the job better than human investors with lower probabilities of corruption.
>... there’s never been a recorded death from LSD directly...

but earlier in the article:

Sounds like it was pretty touch and go there for at least those three people.

I don't really have a notion of how widespread LSD usage has been throughout history (thousand of users? millions of users? ) so the toxicity anecdote is interesting, especially since acid has a reputation for being such a heavy drug.

Great presentation. Adobe has lost their way. Their products are great, so it's sad. I imagine the engineers at Adobe are mad at management for their sales and marketing behavior. If I needed a job and they were hiring, I wouldn't even consider working for them. I might work for Serif though.
There should be a rule that if an IP was broadly commercialized at any point (eg. offered at a retail store) the owner can’t resist any abandonware offering unless he’s still offering the IP at RAND terms

Last medical paper I read was using a cohort of 20,000 people. This paper concluded that natural covid immunity doesn't last forever. Median time to reinfection was 160+ days.

Is there new research or something? I keep seeing people talk about this and no one ever provides a source.

source: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.13.21249642v...

Additionally here's a bunch of data that makes me doubt your point about naturally immunity being superior to vaccines:

I bet some of them out there do that, but so far mine haven’t. My spammers usually threaten to kill me, then hang up, then I never hear from them again. If they were using me to slow down competitors, I’d expect more call volume than I get.
Meanwhile in CA. I'm building a home and pretty much locked into a specific bank for this stupid deal. Yesterday I called my banker and said: "I'm spending about $9K to get hooked up to PG&E, can I redirect that money to make this a 100% off grid solar house"?

The answer was NO and it's all tied to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, bla bla bla and I hope in the future it changes.

He was also refusing to allow me to put Solar anywhere that the appraiser sees.

The laws right now are designed to burn California down (and make people homeless but that's a completely separate thing)
Yeah, I just meant to show what is probably a worst case (not really, worst case would be company goes under or loses a lot of value/market share I guess), where they accept money and it's spent in an effort to help the business but just doesn't. I guess in the example you put forth that would be a $50 million company that takes $5 million, spends it on a major advertising campaign, and sees zero difference. Now they've given away equity and gotten nothing in return other than that what they tried before doesn't work. The flip side is that it helps immensely and your lower equity might be worth more overall. Any anything in between.

At least that's how I understand it. I'm not trying to pretend I know a huge amount about this. It's mostly general knowledge accumulated from normal sources and discussions here, so if you think I'm totally missing something, I'm happy to hear it.
Because like all churches, they make money from it.

Anecdote: I went to a charismatic non-denominational new wave evangelical thing in Maui, for reasons I will not explain, call it amusement. I paid particular attention to the pastor before and after the collection plate, and it amused me so much that I went back to confirm what I had first seen: that every ounce of his charisma (and boy was he loaded in that dept.) drained from his Animus as soon as the collection plate was full. He would disappear into the background to suffer the remaining service until which time he could count his winnings.
The government doesn’t supply the hashes in an unauditable way, that is a totally false statement.

The hashes are supplied by NCMEC, a non-profit which is auditable, not a secret government agency.

In any case, even if a non-CSAM hash were somehow in the database, Apple reviews the images before making reports, and those reports are used in normal criminal prosecutions.

I'm with you on your general point - however you made some strong claims which are not supported by any literature I've seen (and I read a lot of literature on the topic, but of course I haven't read it all).

> Natural immunity is much better than the vaccines

The literature supports the fact that immunity acquired through natural infection is at least as effective as vaccination. I'm not aware of any strong evidence that one is better than the other in terms of individual health outcomes. It has been established that natural infection induces an immune response that includes nucleocapsid protein antibodies whereas vaccination with the current mRNA formulations does not. There are other subtle differences in the immune response, and those may have a significant long-term impact on both individual health outcomes and viral evolution at a population level, but scientific evidence on those points is extremely limited.

> The rate of severe infection with Delta among vaccinated is higher than the rate of severe infection of the general population a year ago with Original COVID

> Natural immunity has less than 1% reinfection rate vs a nearly 40% infection rate for fully vaccinated

I'm all for challenging the status quo but folks really need to start citing primary sources to support such claims, otherwise they will be dismissed as uninformed opinion.

> Obviously week long 'retreats' are out of the question for those with very young children/etc, but that's a tiny minority amongst tech workers.

Maybe true in expensive cities that aren't family-friendly (Bay Area, I'm looking at you), but once you leave those bubbles it's actually really common for people in tech to have children.

This isn't really a tech thing. It's more of an age thing. Some tech bubbles, especially startup bubbles in places like the Bay Area, end up selecting for young, childless people. Once you age out of the bubble or your company grows up and starts collecting employees from a broader range of ages and locations, you'll be surrounded by parents.

Why do you think it would be worth more than $200? People bought the album for the music, not the cover. And even if the art might be worth more, wouldn’t it be the photographer who made the image that deserved it? Any other baby could substitute, and it would be essentially the same image. What unique quality did this particular baby contribute?

If you were to build a complex distributed system, there are no tools to help model it short of building it. This is vastly different than, for example, building a bridge, where we can use math and science encoded into computational processes to be able to model a bridge and then simulate it's behavior under varying conditions. Same with most other fields of science and engineering that are starting to leverage computing.

One thing that I find hard to sympathize in terms of Cyperpunk Manifesto is that a lot of it seems to do with perceived oppression of government and is written and supported by those who live in a countries with representative democracy.
I hope so. I have always interpreted the album cover to be a statement that greed is innate to us, to the point that you could go fishing for babies using dollar bills as bait. It’s conceivable that he’s just underscoring that point now. I kinda doubt he’d do so at the expense of his own reputation, but it’s a nice thought.
Worst case scenario: what would happen if you went ahead anyway?
Disabling JS makes you keep going back to the new layout? Interesting that it's essentially being done client-side then.

I don't use any blanket JS blocking browser addons. I find it frustrating how much of the web gets broken with them, and having to manually flag damn near every site just to get them to work is tedious. Just using uBlock Origin to block all the trackers and ads is good enough for me.
I didn't read anything about those organizations being involved in any of the stories about the Pornhub thing. Do you have any evidence of them being involved or are you just speculating?

This would be handy, but at the same time, I think I like that not doing so encourages people to click the link and read more of the article than they might otherwise.
I disagree, and it would have been courteous to highlight the part that you edited after my reply. It now makes it look like I ignored almost half of your comment.
I think your example is discarding too much of the context. Rather than considering this through a racial lens, I think it would be more accurate to view it as an act of cultural stewardship - where the cultural separation, as in many parts of the world, largely follows racial and tribal lines.

When thought of as a cultural act, it makes much more sense. Cultures implicitly lay claim to information i.e. their cultural heritage, all the time. It's also less surprising that you can find the concept itself "bananas", because the value system of your culture won't necessarily line up with that of other cultures and their stewards.
> Surely the correct and only answer is "the right tech stack for the job".

That is assuming that there is a "right" stack in the first place. That thread is mostly proving the opposite, that the stack doesn't really matter.

"use the right tool for the right job", "don't focus on the flavor of the month", "focus on getting users before scalability" and "KISS" all have been said a thousand times. Saying that again leads to no new insight.
Where is the source for this?

What actual leverage do these groups have over the banking and processing systems that were actually forcing the changes to OnlyFans? Shouldn't there be some statements that it was 2 million signatures that had an effect somewhere? And if so, why retract? Did someone get 3 million reddit karma to keep it, and now someone else needs 4 million survey responses to ban porn again?

I looked an was not able to find evidence. Only these groups happy with the plan and congratulating themselves based on seemingly nothing.
call/cc is a widget from Scheme / Lisp is a glorified come_here statement (where "come_here" is roughly the exact opposite of a "goto" statement). Its gloriously complicated but its applications are seemingly endless.

call/cc calls function "f" with a "come_here" label. Later, if you call the label, you return to the "come_here" point. call/cc saves off the stack-frame, so the "come_here" executes exactly as before (all local variables remain the same as they were before).

------

In C++ (call/cc doesn't exist, but we can imagine it in C++ lambdas)

int f(auto come_here){
come_here(25); // call the "come_here" function with the parameter 25
}

...

int x;
x = call/cc(f);
// x now equals 25, because f called come_here with 25.

We can imagine the "come_here" function to be the exact line of code "x = call/cc". Now funny things can happen if you do ... funny things.

int g(auto come_here){
some_global_variable = come_here; // Yeah, lets store this come_here label off for later.
return 0; // Notice, come_here hasn't been called yet. Return 0 normally.
}

int x;
x = call/cc(g); // defaults to the 0, for the "Return 0" in g.

if(x < 100){
some_global_variable(x+1); // Loop back to the x=call/cc command, and set x+1.
}

Look Ma, I created an overly complicated while loop!

---------

EDIT: Now for fun, try _writing_ try, catch, finally statements (from Java). By saving off the right labels in the right order, you can experiment with try/catch, or other complicated maneuvers (ex: the "Ambiguous" operator, often named "amb").

This call/cc exists because scheme is catering itself as a meta-language. A language to build other languages out of.
Oh, obstructive sleep apnea - not worth it IMO.

The other possibility, though remote, is we find ourselves at the mercy of some form of advanced extraterrestrial life. What ever should come after is anyone's guess, but it would mean we would be of lesser intelligence in the universe by comparison.
Do you know of any resources for learning CPU-bound parallel/concurrent programming? I wish it was easier to user all the cores my devices actually have. Asynchronous IO and network stuff is “easy” because you don’t care to much when then work completes as long as it’s not blocking the main thread, but speeding up CPU bound tasks is much harder. For all its flaws, Unity with their DOTS (and I believe specifically their job system) is the only thing that I am aware of that facilitates programmers multithreading CPU bound work (you can multithread actual gameplay code rather than just the standard rendering thread, game logic thread, IO thread, etc. of many games)rather than just having to roll your own solution.
Yeah, "experimental" depends on a shifted version of reality. It's basically the ignorant excuse (where any excuse would do) of screaming parents at school board meetings.

Of what use is the WSJ again?
I did miss that from the homepage.

And yet, I just watched the Loom and am not bullish on a model where kids have and are asked to read on devices and then are streamed supporting video content.

There may be a delta between effective and commercially viable, but sitting with a group of kids and reading to and with them, as a teaching method, is fundamentally not broken. It works really, really well!

Kids who don't get that experience struggle, and while I appreciate that you are trying something that may offer some kids who need it some additional reading experience, I don't see it as anything like Khan Academy for reading, which we all agree would be super.
I use Pinboard for a cloud-based solution to bookmarking, and I export my Pinboard bookmark collection to an on-premises local PC location every 4 months or so, in-case Pinboard's servers are somehow destroyed (which is unlikely, but still possible).

All my browser bookmarks accumulate to staggering volumes after each year, and then I simply prune the cruft, or low-quality bookmarks and curate a list of all the best ones, all using Firefox's bookmark library, which is an underestimated tool and enormously useful for organizing bookmarks.

I typically use Firefox's bookmarks export feature that generates a HTML file that I can then browse at my leisure at any time and create a sort of 'master list' of bookmarks that I can then backup in Pinboard, or other cloud services to refer back to at any time.

There's no contempt in what I'm saying, I am honestly glad that this incident got my brother to re-evaluate his life. My point was experiencing something terrible can lead to change for the better, its not an exact science and it is not by any mean pleasant. Getting his arm smash with a baseball bat was my brothers wake-up call but he isn't going to start espousing the benefits of having your arm broken as a form of rehab, just like I assume TecoAndJix isn't going to endorse the force labor compound they were sent to despite it being the thing that forced them to re-evaluate their life.

This seemed like the obvious trap he was going to fall into.

I used to listen to him when he interviewed someone I was interested in. I even installed Spotify so I can access his podcast.

In practice, because I don’t use Spotify for anything else, I have simply forgotten about him.
Please, no.

AVX-512 was a mistake, causing Intel lots of issues for the benefit of a new benchmark. It heats up and clocks down the chip for other work. And it takes up too much space.

This is all very valuable feedback. Esp the part re craft activity actually contributing to comprehension of the book/lesson rather than adhoc/random. We definitely build our own activities as part of our curriculum team to complement learning objectives based on the book and continue to look for improvements/feedback to make this better! As for the physical book, it's currently really hard as a startup to provide physical books but maybe as we grow and scale we will be able to do so I hope!!

While I disagree with the appraisal portion, not hooking up to the grid is understandable. While you may be prepared and willing to live off-grid, future home owners may see that as a downside (perceived/actual unreliability, maintenance costs, requirement of specialized knowledge), so it would make sense that it would effect your home price (hence the conditions of your mortage).
