I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, so:

I've played a teensy amount of duplicate bridge. That's where the hands are kept together, so you can give the same hands to another table and compare scores. (I don't play anymore.)

Bidding conventions are supposed to be fully disclosed, so if you have some special signals with your partner, they're written right on your card and the other team can see them. If they're not sure what you're doing, they can ask "what does your partner's bid mean?" and you have to say something (of course, they can't ask YOU what your own bid meant).

But there was cheating even before computers, as others have pointed out. Bridge might last as a social game, where no money or reputation is involved, but making it cheat-proof is probably a fool's errand.

I definitely agree bots are underserved, I have a few things I do to keep them entertained, ssh bots are tar-pitted to keep them connected but busy, my hope is that I occupy at least one thread of not the whole process.

For wp-login bots I serve them a nice chunk of random (generated by a fuzzer) html in the hopes that 1. It wastes abit of their bandwidth/memory and 2. it crashes their parser

In reality I guess bots nowadays are sturdy enough to not get stuck or crash but who knows, feels good to do something :-)

The tipping point is the availability of quality, affordable AR glasses. Until recently, AR has been too niche, so even if the acoustic camera technology is fine, the company also has to build AR glasses to go with the other part of the system. Whenever Apple comes out with AR glasses, then writing an acoustic camera app is almost trivial in comparison to having to also having to design some AR glasses. Not having to design the glasses makes acoustic camera technology overlay software way more commercially viable.

Riding the Writing Wave
I think it's fair to say that Jony was ultimately the DRI ("directly responsible individual" in Apple-speak) for all industrial design, so he "owns" it, which is a bit above "signing off" or "accepting", whether or not he was personally pushing for something.

This is a bit of a quirk of how Apple structures responsibility, and makes it a bit more fair to say that "Jony made a disliked change" in a way that doesn't quite apply at Google or Microsoft, where responsibility tends to be a bit more diffuse.

https://github.com/c-blake/lc can do that and more; Indeed you can group "dot directories" differently than "non-dot directories". When I sat down to write `lc` I went through all of exas issues and features and included as much as I felt reasonable.

I never liked the graphical tree mode, though. I prefer packing as much information as possible into small real estate (like cell phone terminal screens).

https://github.com/c-blake/procs does include some "indentation" oriented tree viewing, though, and uses much of the same kind of classification-colorization as `lc`, just for process table listings (on Linux only for now). It also has "user tweakable aggregation" (kind of the reverse of listing the sub-threads in process).
That doesn't seem to be the claim. They say one third was written with AI help.

Doesn't say how much of the new code was generated by Copilot, just that it was used in the process of writing it.

edit: I read the article wrong, skimming it. I understood it as 30% of new code written by GitHub engineers uses AI help, which sounds much more reasonable.

What Sequoia Gains by Blowing Up the VC Fund Structure
Tusks are not bones
Cloudant was a startup that targeted multi-cloud. At one point they supported cluster deployments to AWS and Azure. They were bought by IBM and dropped AWS support but kept Azure support for a bit longer as they built out more of "BlueMix" (early IBM Cloud brand name), and then IBM did its dance of Cloud brand names and datacenters supported and Cloudant dropped Azure support too.

reply

(Emphasis mine)

I wonder if what this really means is ~30% of code written in codespaces or the web/cloud version of vscode you can use within a repo is written with co-pilot. Which I find much easier to believe than 30% of all code uploaded to github was written with AI assistance (how would they ever be able to measure that).
I'm guilty of this too! Change begins with one's self, they say, heh. (I should learn to write good docs before castigating the community)

And you're right - trivial docstrings for all the functions isn't documentation at all. Real documentation is the four-part system[1] of tutorials, howtos, examples, and reference material - I've found this mental framework to be enormously helpful for both (a) identifying when some other documentation is inadequate and (b) improving my own.

On the topic of unicorns existing...

> There are wild elephants in the country, and numerous unicorns, which are very nearly as big. They have hair like that of a buffalo, feet like those of an elephant, and a horn in the middle of the forehead, which is black and very thick. They do no mischief, however, with the horn, but with the tongue alone; for this is covered all over with long and strong prickles and when savage with any one they crush him under their knees and then rasp him with their tongue. The head resembles that of a wild boar, and they carry it ever bent towards the ground. They delight much to abide in mire and mud. 'Tis a passing ugly beast to look upon, and is not in the least like that which our stories tell of as being caught in the lap of a virgin; in fact, 'tis altogether different from what we fancied

>a very large portion of humanity’s knowledge.

I know that's the meme, but I think it's false and a dangerous thing to tell ourselves.

Walk into any university library, pull a random book off the shelf, and flip to a random page. What are the odds that the information on that page can be found in a google search?

And that's just the things that are publicly documented at all. There's libraries worth of implicit industrial knowledge too, including material that is explicitly proprietary. How does Intel or AMD design a modern computer chip? How does Rolls Royce design a jet engine? How do you fabricate a mono-crystalline solar cell? How do you mine for raw materials?

This is "I, Pencil" writ large. I would estimate only the smallest fraction of humanity's knowledge can be found on the internet - well under a percent, at least if you don't count "emailing an expert". If we had to rebuild society on the basis of what we could find on the internet, we'd be lucky to reach 20th century technology levels.
What is the second claimed drawing from? It would seem like a stay at home parent was more common in the past, considering there were historically more single income families with children.

“The percentage of dual-income households with children under age 18 has been on the rise since the 1960s”

Of course, it depends on one's definition of conspiracy. I'd consider your defn. as concealment. In practice, there are very few real instances of conspiracy in relative terms as it requires deliberate organization and forethought between multiple machinators/plotters from the outset - and such organization, in practice, is often difficult to achieve with success (that is, the planning and implementation thereof, not necessarily its outcome).

Concealment is much more common as it's a secondary process in reaction to an unfortunate or surreptitious event that's past. In phil. they're defined differently. Here's some instances:

> Are there any inexpensive microphone arrays?

Not that I can find! Building the array is way more expensive than it needs to be.

I have limited EE knowledge, so have been stumbling through it on my own, building my first array out of reference microphones, another with $10 omnis from guitar center, and one with 8x, cheap, repurposed webcams.

Right now, my limiting factor on driving the cost of a future array down is that I haven't figured out how to get a lot (at least 8) I2S inputs to a micro-controller. If that were solved, it would be easier.
Why is that useless? Codebases I have worked on that had high code coverage requirements had very little bugs.

That seems more like a complaint about the game itself, it can't really be cheating if there's no rule against it nor anybody hiding it. It was also part of the game to try an influence when the adjournment will happen to give yourself a more favorable position to analyze (and also determine who has to seal the last move).

FWIW adjournment never really happens anymore, largely because computers just make the analysis too easy and time controls are shorter. And I do agree that it does ruin a certain aspect of the game, but I don't think that makes it cheating, it was just a different time.

One of the fundamental purposes of any legal system is to protect people's land and property from being taken by others.

They released a feature in Big Sur where it learns if you always keep your laptop plugged in, and during those times (which may be all the time, like in my case) it'll hover the battery between 70-80% to preserve battery health, and won't charge up to 100% until you tell it to manually (click the battery icon -> "Charge to full now")

Kevin Scott is a CTO. He's in charge of top level product technical decisions

The top priority of his job is those few dozen decisions.

Be a little less stuck on the word "Director". The fact is, when you're one of the main people in charge of allowing decisions, it's not the same as personally championing them.

You know you can just read the comment I referred to right if you've already forgotten right?

The butterfly keyboard was Ive shaving off 0.5mm of the width for a worse user experience with a higher production cost and less reliability.

If John manages Joe and Joe deletes a database in prod, do you say "John's subordinate deleted a database in prod" or do you say "John deleted a database in prod".

You see how there's a difference there even though both acknowledge that John has a part in what happened?

It's not that complicated to see the difference if you've ever interacted with any sort of situation where the buck actually stopped with leadership, but I guess that's not universal.

The best way to spend money on carbon removal is to lobby politicians to initiate carbon taxes, or at least to place tariffs on nations without them.

It seems like the comment I responded to was referring to something like an 'incongruity', and saying it was '[situational] irony', but it doesn't really satisfy the definition of situational irony (from wikipedia):

>"Situational irony: The disparity of intention and result; when the result of an action is contrary to the desired or expected effect."

In this specific case, the intention of extracting animal products caused the animals to be killed, which is not contrary to the expected effect (unfortunate as it may be).

How to Grow as a Software Engineer – Tips
Innovative design doesn't work without an internal champion who can rally the company around unconventional ideas. Jobs played that role, but now Apple is led by the operations team. The word "design" does not appear anywhere on their executive leadership page.

Unconventional ideas are inherently risky. They're just not worth pursuing if buy-in can't be secured and leadership is more focused on compromising to increase profit margins, etc. For that reason, it's great (in the short term!) that Apple is rehashing known-good designs from a decade ago. However, I don't see that strategy working in the long term.
Based on what you just wrote, it sounds to me that you might be assuming the wrong abstraction yourself.
Yet here we are. Thanks for contributing.
Most of AI tools like TabNine, Copilot or Kite are quite resource intensive.
For example I have TabNine, but it is active ONLY when my laptop is plugged in, otherwise it drains batteries pretty quickly.
That's why I don't believe that more than 30% of developers are OK to heat up their laptops for getting AI suggestions. It more looks like a marketing title
As much as means >=.
I think, this is natural. Ext step of engineering.

I think you transform the way you code (actually writing) to the way you think strategically and make decision. So whatever you write as coder will be seen in design and decision making process.
