Exactly. Like I have said before, [0] there is a lot of reasons why Meta would want to waste no time in building another hardware platform like smart glasses with AR capabilities with the metaverse supporting it and executing it better than anyone else before them (Alphabet, Snap, North) and especially better than Apple.

This is Meta's answer to the iOS and Android ecosystem and they are aiming to get the games on their first.

Linkedin is a walled garden. They make it really hard to use "their data" - the professional profiles of their users - outside their ecosystem, which makes sense as their business model optimises to sell Linkedin Recruiter Licences.

The fact that professional identities live in a closed ecosystem prevents real innovation to happen on top of the network.

The 199os were a time when we tried all sorts of tricks to get the last bit of performance out of the hardware. One book which stands out is the one Michael Abrash wrote:

Michael Abrash's "Graphics Programming Black Book"

As CPU power, the number of cores, RAM sizes, HDD sizes, graphics card capabilities have increased, the developers are no longer as careful to squeeze out the performance.

I LOVE the iDrive controller and it is a definite plus for choosing a BMW over another car with a touchscreen only. My current BMW also has a touch screen, but I rarely use it. The iDrive controller is perfect for the BMW-specific UI, but also works pretty OK even with Apple CarPlay. I would not miss the touch screen at all.
This concept sounds like tyranny. Would it really stop at credentialism? How would this work for the self-taught? If I quit a shitty employer after 2 weeks, is that going to follow me for the rest of my life?

It kind of baffles me how people act like interviews are a one-way street. I get that applying and interviewing can be a slog, but you should be interviewing your employer as much as they are interviewing you. There have been several instances where I turned down jobs because the employer failed the interview process in my eyes. I shudder to imagine how my life would have turned out if I ended up working at that one place where they wanted me to speed-code under 1 minute per challenge while the interviewer stood behind me with a stopwatch.
I agree that federation can be implemented badly; with emails the problem is that comunications are federated but identity is not.

A possible half-assed solution would be to have your identity be linked to a public key you can move between servers.

Obviously non-bitcoin-like network will have nodes more important than others on which users will ends up relying. The solution is not to delete any kind of "centricity" but rather to make nodes easy to replace.
I just finished reading Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor, which is apparently a classic popular account of animal training based off Skinners ideas. It's pretty interesting but a little too self congratulatory. The short summary is:

- punishment usually comes too late and also makes the trainee dislike the trainer and so makes future training harder

- rewards should come immediately at success

- since most rewards can't be given immediately, develop a cue (a "clicker" is popular) which you give at the immediate moment that informs them they're about to get the reward. This bridges the time span between act and reward, and the cue itself becomes valuable to the trainee later

- variable rewards often work better

- trainees in a rut can sometimes be jolted out of the rut by giving them an undeserved reward jackpot

- teaching a trainee to not do something is harder but one strategy is to teach them to do it on command. Then simply don't never give them the command. Most behaviors die out once trainned to command except when commanded

- or train them to do something that is incompatible with the undesired behavior

- bizarrely, stopping doing an undesirable task can be reward enough to train them to do the undesirable task. I'm not super clear on how you do this in practice

- giving cues and rewards too late is a common error. It's counterintuitive because you often must interrupt the behavior you are training. Rewarding your dog for sitting will cause the dog to stop sitting, but you must do this. Waiting until the dog stops sitting is too late since then you are rewarding the stopping of sitting, not sitting itself.

- all of this applies to humans (if you don't let them know what you're doing) and also to yourself, supposedly

I'm trying to train my misbehaving cat. We're making some progress but it's not as fast and magical as the book makes it sound (my inexperienced training skills likely contributing).

I'm also learning Mandarin and a lot of what I've learned is through apps like Anki. Feedback is instant. But it doesn't really feel that rewarding to get a card right, so I'm not sure how successful it is in a Skinnerian sense. Teaching machines are here and work but I think they're still suboptimal.
My pre-touchscreen cars (past and present) were, and are, much easier to use.

Of course there are good uses for touch screens, but like many technologies, we sometimes over-apply them for the wrong functions.
So, I had a few tragedies in a row.

I have a boy who is a 23+2 prem. Who spent around 6 months in the hospital, had brain damage due to the trauma, blindness due to retinopathy of prematurity, severe skin disfiguration of the lower abdomen due to aspergillosis. He's non verbal and whilst mentally a lot easier to deal with than my other kids it is quite physically demanding.

My wife was diagnosed with cancer a few years back, aggressive, but was treated and it seems to be in remission though the side effects of treatment are still taking a toll on her (severe joint pain mainly).

I injured myself a few months prior to my wife's cancer, spinal disc related, was due to have surgery a few months after my wife's cancer diagnosis and ended up putting it off until the pandemic hit and then put it off again until last August.

Suffice it to say, the surgery was not entirely successful and I'm at the point where as a 36 year old person I'm not able to squat, stairs are difficult and it feels like my entire nervous system is on fire constantly. So much that when I have a good day and get used to being pain free for a while, that when I slip into a bad day, I'm just completely irritable and have lost all patience. As such, caring for my son has become borderline impossible without help.

I won't say it's easy and let's be clear I have to be honest and say that this is not about you as much as I know this impacts you and you will feel the mental pressure. The important thing is to do as much as you can for your mother whilst keeping her distracted with things to do.

I took very little leave as I also needed the distraction too for my own pain and just so I didnt have to process my families trauma at that time. My personal opinion is having an idle mind is the worst thing.

Things will eventually change for your mother and hopefully it is for the best. Take leave for the day after chemotherapy and ask for help from other people too (siblings, in laws, friends) and this doesn't have to mean actual care for your mother but perhaps other things in the house that need taking care of (childcare, cooking, etc).
Great resource. Thank you.

Recognizing that Firefox is sucky is the first step to make it unsucky.
I've been thinking about this comment. It is super easy to enable which native gui one wants. However, I suspect the issue is one of cognitive overload: developing for the web is more complicated than developing native software for a single OS. These days, young developers learn web development first, and everything they learn is basically operating system independent. Simply the prospect of learning how to build software that is OS specific probably feels like a step backwards, and that negative cognitive association is enough to cause many/most young developers to groupthink themselves away from any native platform ambitions.

> I cannot understand what idiot thought it d be fancy cutting everything into mini dependencies that update every day without you knowing made by amateurish hipsters who transitive depend on each other like their life depended on it.

I'm not sure you're thought things through in your comment, and that you are being fair or reasonable.

No one cuts "everything into mini dependendencies". You have dependencies you reuse. That's it. When one of those dependencies gets updated, say to fix a bug or a security issue, your package manager of choice handles it for you without any issue. Still, if you do not want to fix bugs or vulnerabilities in your code then you are free to pin them all and move on with your life.

At most, the JavaScript or NodeJS crowd needs to have a serious talk about standard libraries and third party lackages, such as whether using packages such as rimraf is desirable.

> and yarn/npm frontend projects that cant be even rebuilt two weeks later

You only experience that sort of problem if you're incompetent in how you manage your dependencies.

With npm you can a) pin major/minor/patch versions of specific packages, b) save your package-lock.json file which specifies exactly which dependencies you use. If you free-float any dependency then that's something you chose to do.

With JavaScript/NodeJS + npm you only shoot yourself in the foot that way if you purposely aim at your foot, remove the safety, and press the trigger really hard.

> And I m very against transpilers and linters which I try to avoid for sanity (...)

Complaining about linters because they test your sanity is a major red flag on your approach to mundane coding tasks. This, and your casual criticism on everyone else's code, leads me to suspect that you really need to do some introspection.

> I kid you not we have an entire team in charge of one small frontent management tool for a pretrade backend, they literally spend 99% of their time justifying why they wont change it, and 1% begging me to join for a week to reorder their column or put a new button...

Based on your comment and on my experience with similar projects, I suspect you're either oblivious and/or leaving out important bits of the story just to continue plowing with your humblebrag, or you're succumbing the need to be hyperbolic.

Frontend development has to deal with far more details and constraints and requirements than any backend task. Frontend is what both clients and PMs and executives look at, and the tiniest changes like resizing a button has deep implications on the business side of things. Furthermore, it's both harder to automate tests and their tests need to be more extensive.

Thus any change, no matter how small, is a uphill battle.

It's beyond me how someone who is so hard on their entire team ends up showing such weak understanding and insight of the problem domain. I know that on the internet no one knows you're a dog, but let's not get silly here.

Lost all respect for Greg Isenberg. This thread comes across as a scam artist. The underlying proposed concept doesn't need NFTs nor does it need blockchains.
I don’t mind a touch screen for GPS/CarPlay. But control of the vehicles operation, environment and entertainment systems should have robust, tactile and intuitive physical input devices that don’t require eyeballs to use.

Not to get too far on a tangent but one of the best ways to increase intuition of a control is to provide haptic feedback. This guy has a few projects related to that, this video summarizes them pretty nicely. https://youtu.be/9Eh1p_rUQMA

I don't really mind about customization and ease (i mean it's just a chat). Again I feel like they're overdoing and overbelieving in the current paradigm. All this to have nitro emojis and short lived things.
I find my clients by networking and leveraging of successful completed projects. For example, if I just completed a project automating some aspect of a travel agency (yes they still exist). Then we contact all other travel agencies in our area and offer to solve the same problem for them or something similar. If the completed project is in the area of a common business area, e.g. follow-up for contract renewals, then we would look at other industries with a similar issue, pick the most likely one and then call those.

We have tried using sales people and they generally don't know enough about our solutions nor the clients' problems to conduct consultative sales process. And asking for referrals is a key part of the discussions that you conduct with past clients as well as prospects who say "no thanks".

Also everyone clapped. Really this time.

Most Discord channels are created with specific topics in mind, and a few very generalized ones thrown around for everything else.
Skillset and capabilites are a small part of the process when hiring for full time roles. The person has to work with a team full of highly unique individuals. This thread misses the whole point there.
I think working, at all, will totally become optional by the time we reach the point what author imagines. If it is just the skillset that matters, you can hire a freelancer in 6, not 60, seconds even today.
I reluctantly accepted a Discord server for my project as my users demanded it. Now the people who help out on the project do so in Discord and I hate it. I have to constantly copy the info into a Github issue or discussion otherwise it's pretty much impossible to find again as it scrolls up. There's also a ton of noise in between the contributing comments. I think I'm going to push back and leave the Discord server and tell people to please use Github instead for contributions.

A terrible one. It’s literally one of the worst experiences you can have. I say that without an ounce of bias.

When tpu SSH first came out, I immediately went to my pytorch buddy (who became famous in the meantime by pioneering the CLIP AI art you’ve probably been seeing: https://mobile.twitter.com/rivershavewings) and said “Rivers, you have to try TPUs! They’re wonderful! Now you can run pytorch on them directly!”

She was skeptical, because she’d had nothing but endless problems with the official pytorch TPU notebooks (which use a TPU in “remote” mode, aka it fires up an RPC server you attach to).

“No no, trust me — I bet their rpc driver was just horrible. It can’t be true that the Pytorch XLA backend is terrible on TPUs. How could that be? Facebook makes awesome software, and they’ve worked on this for so long. Some intern probably wrote the rpc system or something. Anyway, you can SSH into mine! See, no RPC server! What’s your pubkey?”

A few hours later, she reported that it froze in exactly the same place.

I could hardly believe it. I was so upset that I dug really deeply to try to figure out what the heck the problem was.

It was recompiling itself. Every. Inference.

Every compile took 15 minutes.

Their XLA backend is so far behind Jax that it’s not even a contest.

Worse, I’ve since realized why they can’t fix the problem. JAX gives you precise control over which functions get JIT’ed (compiled into XLA), and when that happens.

Pytorch doesn’t. There’s no @torch.jit decorator for your functions.

That means they need to infer which parts to jit (the inference model), and which parts not to (the inference loop).

The moment that magic fails, congrats; it’s now recompiling every iteration. (15 min per iteration is impressive, since usually it’s measured in “iterations per second”…)

JAX even has a TPU compiler cache now, which persists across Python runs. It’s like MacOS in 2021 vs Windows in 1995.

This is deeply frustrating to me, because there’s no reason for it — I don’t know if Facebook is intentionally kneecapping pytorch to keep people off of TPUs, or if it’s just run of the mill incompetence. But (like Windows 95) they’re going to discover they’re not the only game in town forever.
I am running a no-code web automation and data extraction tool called https://automatio.co. And from my experience most of the time when using quality residential proxies you will be fine. But that comes at cost since they are way expensive then data center proxies.

But for some websites, even residential ips doesn't let you pass.

I noticed there is like a premium reCaptcha service, which just work differently then standard one and not let you pass. It's mostly shown with a Cloud flare anti bot page.

I imagined it and I don’t find it that special.

Picking up a strong and regular periodic signal and predicting the next iteration is not a hard problem.

ML models don’t do those things because ML models are abstract constructs without appendages or any other physical embodiment.

We cannot manufacture artifical slime molds because we cannot manufacture artifical cells. This doesn’t seems to be an ML problem. (Or if it is, then everything become an ML problem too and the term lost its meaning.)

People keep saying this but even on my worst IRC days I've never encountered that much petty-kingdom feeling. Maybe freenode was its own bubble I don't know. On IRC there's this vibe that you don't own anything. You just joined a room first, or someone gave you mod capabilities but it was very freeform in nature.
That’s likely because of the dyld shared cache.

The validity of the web is a joke.
I do not use the YouTube app on my iPhone, I only browse YouTube in a private window through Safari. And I notice little “inconveniences”. For example, I can’t drag the selector text over more than one word in the search bar like I can everywhere else. The videos will always default to the lowest quality setting, and only offer 720 P as the highest (even when logged in). When you auto play the next video in a playlist, the playlist loads that video, but the scroll location is all the way at the very top again. Google is really good at powdering lots of little inconveniences all over for you when you try to break away from them.

I rented a model X and was blown away by the drivability of the car. It’s truly one of the best driving experiences I’ve had in my life.

However i very quickly developed disdain for how much of a dependency there was on the screen. It made the car feel very vulnerable and was super annoying.

It was great for the gps though.
