We are stuck in the twilight zone. I have never seen a serious defense of the dystopic status quo of current tech. I would have loved to. If you read an honest, intelligent argument (that comes from a recognizably human psyche, not a lawyer, or a cynical, amoral capital accumulator) it can "open your eyes". It can convince you that your view is missing an important angle. That can be liberating, exhilarating even as it enlarges the "universe".

Alas there is no such position because the status quo is essentially... evil. Deceit, greed, exploitation is baked in so deeply in the dominant business models it is impossible to square with what one might term "common morality". There is no other legal industry that is predicated on so much ignorance and impotence of its peculiar class of "users-consumers-products". Tacitly the actual argument is: "the world sucks and you can do nothing about it. Wear those goggles and joint our happy metaverse or live as a poor and socially awkward pariah".

Countless people have sketched what "good tech" looks like. It is as distant today (Aaron Swartz memory day) as it was in 2013. But I will never accept that this distorted reality is somehow our natural or deserved state.
I think I can get by, until somebody gets sick. That means I probably can't get by yet. Still more to do.
I think the idea is that it's not a file to be crawled, saved and archived as a distinct entity the same way the image is.
Bing image search has solved this problem.

For each result you can see multiple pages that include the image. It also shows the resolution and file size of each version. I did a test search for "bear" and clicked on the first result. It showed 14 different pages containing the same image with different sizes and possibly slightly different crops. You can also select a subsection of the image to search for that.

It makes Google image search feel like an old school internet tool. I know Bing isn't cool or popular, but their image search is undeniably superior.

I don't think we need to blame Pinterest for having indexable content. This is a failing of Google image search for not showing alternate matches for the same image.

Bing has it figured out. I can't tell if Google just doesn't care enough about image search to implement it, or if there's some obscure patent preventing them from doing so.

I don't think that's what they're getting at. My understanding of this was that "people who actually care about you will find a way". Someone who does not actually care about you won't bother. So chances are, if the person was only in contact with you because you're on Facebook, they don't really care about you in the first place. Cutting off someone who can't be bothered to get in touch with you is pretty normal.
I basically did the same for 2020 but it was more a "don't come for basics" attitude with the local provider so I am sympathetic.

In the 90's we did a rural health grant where we equipped an RV as a traveling doctor's exam room. I do wonder if that concept would have helped in the current situation.

This is a delight, but there is some truth to it. Walking in Paris is different than walking in Algiers. I need to watch my steps in Algiers more than in Paris. There are yellow tiles in the sidewalk that are slippery and I must not walk on them when it trains (us, ud friction stuff).

There also are loose tiles in Algiers that are similar to traps in the first Prince of Persia. You step on them, and they rotate to let your foot into the water.

Master Foo would do well in Algiers. This is not an instance where the master points to the moon and me looking at the tiles.

I hear this all the time I'm these discussions, but I call bunk. Sure, small talk is filler content, but you're not going to jump straight into the more meaningful conversations with people you don't yet know.

The filler small talk content isn't the substance, it's the launching point for those more substantive conversations.

For instance, maybe you got the hat at a concert in Wichita, and this person at the gas station grew up in Wichita. Maybe they spent their career designing hats. Maybe their deceased kid used to love hats and seeing it reminded them of their kid. You don't know what the "actually interesting" topics available are until you actually spend ten seconds talking to someone.

As with almost anything, people are free to ignore you or reject social conventions, that's totally their right. But it's also totally fine to try to start a conversation with someone.

You're right that some people, for one reason another, might not want to carry a conversation. In those cases, they can simply not carry the conversation. One of the joys of being human, though, is commiserating with fellow humans. If the location isn't one where conversation is strictly verboten (e.g. movie theaters, gym machines, library study rooms), I see no reason why people shouldn't (respectfully) see if the other is up for a conversation.

AMD Announces Instinct MI200 Accelerator Family: Taking Servers to Exascale
After long being skeptical of approaches that just cut out social media I'm giving it a serious consideration. (I know, very brave of me.) But my main reason is that I feel, over years of consumption, that it has put me in a constantly critical perspective. I'm always wondering "is this a good take?" or "is this thing in the world good or bad?" or "am I doing the right thing?" – there's a kind of toxic self-reflection, both of myself and the world, and I have to untrain my mind.

Facebook is fairly low on the list of places with this perspective. Twitter, some of Reddit (really depends on the sub), Hacker News, and a lot of regular media and podcasts are centered on this critical perspective.

Yet I don't want to just cut things out. I'm getting something from this media consumption. But I'm still in the process of figuring out exactly what, and if I can figure it out then maybe it will be clearer what can replace that consumption, satisfy my healthy desires, and exclude these psychologically negative feedback cycles.

Something that I am feeling right now is that self-improvement culture is in this same constellation of negative feedback cycles. The image of the Perfect Me Without Social Media is a barrier of its own... the me that quietly reads a book in the evening, that joyfully exercises each morning, that is just super present for my children, that is pondering all of life's big questions and just killing it at each of these things. It's unreasonable, it's absurd. I have a set of revealed preferences in the way I live my life, and that ain't it. I am sure I could satisfy those desires in a more healthy way, but I need to start with some basic respect for the real me.

So, bringing it back to the article: "I believe that these days you should focus more on doing, not on consuming." And man, I don't know...

Going deeper, I think this critical mindset is this domination of my superego, of some judging force looming over my own consciousness. That judging force is ME of course, but I've created enough stories and spectral visions of this force that it feels real.

I've started consciously putting that bit of myself aside lately, and it's worked better than I would have expected... but as soon as I tell myself "I should focus more on doing and not on consuming" then I'm inviting that little fucker right back into my head.
> Guys... we're humans. It isn't a crime to make small talk. It's not a chore to open your mouth.

That's not uncommon in many parts of Europe, Germany for example. People in Germany are commonly rude (compared to American standards) in response to attempts at small talk (by strangers). Some cultures plainly frown upon small talk with strangers and in those cultures people find it uncomfortable at best.

> There are huge swaths of the gaming industry which are based ENTIRELY on repetitive and boring tasks, including some of the most popular games in history, such as Bejeweled and all of its Candy Crush offspring. Or idle, incremental and clicker games. Or slot machines, for that matter. ALL of those gamers are perfectly happy to spend money on boring repetition -- sometimes for years on end.

I have highlighted the absolutes and sweeping generalizations for clarification, since you seem to be having a go at people for doing this. It is quite hard to not write in generalisations, because otherwise you have to caveat EVERYTHING.

I also did not write anything about intent, I said that the upset was finding a game becoming, for whatever reason, not what you thought it was or previously enjoyed.

> I listed incrementals, but those often don't turn out the way you expect, because most of the mechanisms are hidden until you unlock them

It is usually clear that a game is an incremental. I would be rather surprised if a new version of DOOM was released as a $60 boxed game that turned out to be an incremental.

Author here: yes this is exactly the goal of denoflare, I started it before miniflare existed, and Deno seemed much more aligned with the Cloudflare Worker model than Node, honestly.

With denoflare, you can serve your Cloudflare Worker script locally and deploy it to Cloudflare with a single tool, without the need for Wrangler, Node, NPM, or a separate bundler.

Also makes writing/deploying ESM-module-based workers trivial - can even deploy a CF Worker to your own account from a URL, e.g. [1]

Hiring someone willing to learn a new field filters for generalists and people who need jobs. Neither of those qualities are bad.

Specialists, or people in love with a stack, don't want to use 'some other tech'. As a senior, I pick the stack, because I have an idea where the industry's at and what's best for the type of software I'm experienced with making.

These hidden filters are interesting.

I think these companies know how to hire for their tech stack. I once had a job that was all Lotus script (VB basically) and Java with Domino. They just mention that's a plus but not required. They already know that no one has experience with that tech stack.

The other problem with this is let's say you need someone with GQL experience. And everyone in the company knows it. It's not that hard to pick up, but when you get a senior that DOESNT know it... they tend to just grumble about it and want REST instead. It's sometimes better to hire what you know you need.

.NET is sane now... .NET 5, .NET 6, .NET 7... all cool, no more confusion going forward...

> Core lives _inside_ of .net 6? Is there a non-core ASP.NET that also lives inside that framework?

Yep!

> I thought .net 5 was where the legacy 4.x branch and core 3.1 was married in holy matrimony, minus the worst of the legacy garbage.

.NET 5 was the next evolution of .NET Core. There was no great merging of legacy .NET Framework into the .NET Core branch or something like that. It saw a bunch of foundational stuff land in so that .NET could support modern client apps from Xamarin and further support the modern versions of WinForms and WPF.

If that sounds confusing, it kind of is. But it's a clear branding effort - .NET is not a choice between the "slim .NET Core" and the "big .NET Framework. It is either .NET or the legacy stuff (still called The .NET Framework).
Look at what narrow AI has already done just through variations on ML. Creation of echo chambers on line, highlighting of conspiracy theories in pursuit of pay per click. Youtube and Facebook rabbit holes. Complete political splits. I think so much of what is going on in the world can be attributed to ML advertising algorithms performing to such an exceptional degree. If one was to allow an intelligent machine to control and target this same power, I could see it easily making us tear ourselves apart.

I have never worked at Renaissance Technologies, but I do run an HFT firm and am quite familiar with my own techniques as well as techniques of other competing firms, and none of us use anything that could be described as remotely sophisticated.

One thing I tell new quants that I hire is that your job is kind of like a magic trick. To an outside observer the trick looks almost supernatural, but once you understand the trick you realize it's so unbelievably simple and straight forward you wonder how it is you were ever fooled by it.

That said, even if someone tells you how a magic trick is performed and then hands you everything you need to perform it, you are almost certainly going to mess it up. It takes a lot of practice, skill and discipline to pull off even a simple magic trick even after you fully understand it. All of the difficulty of a magic trick is in the execution, not in the idea.

It's the same with quantitative finance, the techniques do not involve anything remotely complex like quantum mechanics and in fact I am almost certain to reject strategies that are overly complex... but even if I revealed how our simplest of trading algorithms work, it's still incredibly difficult to actually execute them. Taking an idea and translating it into a high performance algorithm that is bug free, dealing with networking, collecting and dealing with petabytes of data, having a tight iteration loop, risk management, and most of all, having the creativity to identify something simple among a sea of complexity, those are what make my firm and other firms successful.

It's unbelievably difficult work and most quants do end up failing, but it's not difficult in the way that many people think it is. If anything, most quants I've worked with fail by overcomplicating things and not being able to work from the ground up, off of first principles.

I also think realtors were slow to sue Zillow homes to clients, but have no hard evidence to support this.

You can have the best of both worlds. This article makes it sound as if using social media saps your creative output and potential. I've never been more creative because of social media because I've essentially trained it to be high signal. I want to follow a bunch of artist friends on Instagram because it inspires me, and helps me keep up with my contemporaries. The artists of olde would be jealous of today's platforms.

What we want is perhaps not one big social network, but lots of little fragmented ones with no particular expectation that everyone will be on the same ones. Kind of like not expecting everyone to be in the same friends group in the real world.
