I don’t think they are a trap. You can make constructive criticism without being personal. A lot of times middle management is implementing policy that it didn’t have a say in.

At the end of the day, everyone is human, and most people are more concerned with handling their own problems than making life hard for others.

And if the company has a functional business quality plan, they should be reviewing data from all the exit interviews on a regular basis (maybe quarterly or semi annual). You are just one data point. No matter how brilliant you think you are, they are going to be looking for major trends. Like, everyone made lateral moves for more pay, maybe our pay scales aren’t competitive, or we aren’t recognizing success appropriately.

The exit interview isn’t like pointing at the ship’s unmanned helm and letting the watch officer know the pilot has been in the head for 2 quarters.
Human eyes aren't an input. The process of vision is bidirectional and relies on you choosing what to look at just as much as what happens to be sending photons your way.

Same for the other senses and learning; it's all active engagement with an environment. An ML language model just gets text dumped into its weights until it works though. It doesn't get to ask for more, and it's probably not the best design that we're trying to store everything in its weights instead of letting it look up an external library.
Interesting, I find it exhausting instead. I'm intrigued by Redwood and glad to hear it hit 1.0 but I'd rather see everything they have to say now instead of having to "stay tuned" for more. I either remember to come back in a few days to see what it was or I forget about it and miss out on what could have helped convert me into a user.
Right, they can't create new evidence to learn from (yet). But we're feeding them a lot of data. Possibly more (and more diverse) data than a human takes in during childhood! I remember a lot of visual input, but I don't remember reading the entire internet. (Yes I know it's exaggeration, but come on- compare characters vs characters).

In my experience, the best way to avoid fighting frameworks, is to keep framework use minimal, and just write the 30 lines of UI code yourself for your custom form.

Why does the JavaScript rendering require so many abstractions layers ?.

I understand the promise that frameworks sort of do the heavy lifting for you, but after 2 years into the app, you are stuck with the framework, and the work hours to fix problems are going up, cause most of your code is hidden inside the framework.

I use Web Components and some minor libraries, having so much easier time going this way.

Not to kick down the hard work on developing of Redwood, but I'm just tired of being forced to use these frameworks on jobs.

At startup stage the team picks a monolithic framework, after 2 years the developers are depressed building with it and leave, then new developers that come are met with a mess and fixing even easy bugs, is practically rewriting 5000 lines of code of the app, because everything is so entangled.
Hi Nathan,

No, we haven't worked on this ability, yet - but it is something that we might look into the future. Has huge data privacy implications though

Right now, we simply are able to generate a link to the email that is sharable across everyone that is on the same email thread. It's dependant on some Gmail functions to make it work - what we need to store on our servers is only the email's message ID
That doesn't jive with any subscription plan I've seen from any of these companies. Far more likely that they jack up the rates on the pure subscription plans and then carve out a slightly lower priced tier with ad support.

I readily agree that it's not the best design, and that it will have a hard time figuring out things that are not in its corpus. But reinforcement learning is also unlike human learning, and may possibly be better at fitting data into a world model without requiring reflective attention and prediction the way human learning does.
Thanks a lot for that info, that clears up a lot! So an unmanaged Chromebook can't be "taken over" by logging into a managed account, the policies are only active until you reboot.

Still, if account policies "leak" into unmanaged accounts when both accounts are active at the same time, this sounds like a potential vulnerability: E.g., if the managed account has a policy that sets proxy settings or force-installs a particular browser extension, would those policies also be applied to the unmanaged account?

That's all nice for when on a startup, scaleup, unicorn, megasaurus adventure, but not what this is really about. At least not yet, and I hope it stays that way.

This is about free software projects in a hard-to-monetize decentralized (federated) environment, where a different culture currently thrives. One where all these incentives that made other social media such bad places, are not very prevalent yet (and to some extent can be controlled by moderation mechanisms). The "move fast and break things" growth hacking mindset, if that wins out, will likely destroy this culture. 'Hard-to-monetize' is an advantage in my book, in this regard.

Make No Little Plans
I see again the idea that for people to cooperate, compulsion must be used. I don't agree with this at all, and the US is full of effective and efficient cooperation without compulsion. These can involve literally tens of thousands of people, all voluntarily cooperating towards a common goal.

I also propose to you that voting is not the same thing at all as having a choice. For example, every election in my state has tax increases on the ballot. They always pass. What happened to my choice? I have to pay the increased taxes, whether I voted or not, whether I voted yea or nay, whether I want to or not.

> People follow the rules and laws because they want to

By and large in the US, they do. But they are still compelled to. Every law lists the penalties for non-compliance.

A democracy is far better than a dictatorship, but I'm not under any delusions that the will of the majority is not backed up by compulsion.

To put it more simply, a democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner (that's why we have a Bill of Rights, btw).
Everything at Amazon is a road between software engineers and warehouse workers, because everything SEs at Amazon (with the exception of AWS) are doing is serving its eCommerce business. And that eCommerce business is riding on the back of warehouse workers.

I defend this because the union system, where the government mandates companies engage in exclusive bargaining with unions, is illiberal, unfair and economically destructive. What's fair is the right to quit. Nothing beyond that. No one is entitled to a job that some other party furnishes, and to effectively force that company, via labor regulations, mandated negotiation advantages for unions, etc, to provide them a job with the terms they want.

With government mandates against them, Amazon is fighting with both hands tied behind its back, and it's only a matter of time before social activists will succeed in putting the company's US based sites under the control of unions, as we saw happen to the Big Three automakers.

In comparison to what Amazon is up against, which is blatant violations of its contract liberty by the state and its apparatus of violence (the courts, police and prisons that compel compliance with state injunctions), these tactics by Amazon are extremely benign.
You could say that predicting the next token is their only action, and minimizing the loss their only goal. It's a kind of impoverished environment. Imagine a human living in a cave, seeing only a scrolling line of text. Would that human learn anything new by getting out of its cave?

> So an unmanaged Chromebook can't be "taken over" by logging into a managed account, the policies are only active until you reboot.

That's my understanding, yes. You can't "infect" an unmanaged account from a managed one, as far as I know at least.

> E.g., if the managed account has a policy that sets proxy settings or force-installs a particular browser extension, would those policies also be applied to the unmanaged account?

I'm not 100% sure if those policies would apply, I admit I'm not familiar with the account enrolment details of ChromeOS since I work at a much lower level. However, from what I know, whenever you go to sign-in to a secondary account in the same session as your primary one, there's a big warning telling you to be careful because you're basically "entrusting" your secondary account to the primary one and to not share an account session with another account you do not trust. This I always assumed was due to reasons like (for example) ending up literally sharing account2 window with account1 session, if you bring a program running in the account2 "domain" (filesystem, etc) into the account1 UI session, the account1 can take a screenshot of it (screenshot will be saved into account1 local files) and that can leak data obviously.

You're entitled to your opinion. And my opinion is that yours sucks.
It's probably not malicious.

I don't quite know what their target audience is, but from my experience businesses (on desktop) primarily use Chromium based browsers, with a few percent of Safari users.

From business perspective, it can be quite reasonable to treat Safari bugs as low-ish priority, and just not dedicate any time to ensure other browsers work correctly. Of course this changes if you also need to support mobile/tablet devices, where iOS/Safari is similarly popular (if not more, depending on the location of your users) to Android/Chromium.

However, they should definitely update documentation, if they don't intent to keep FF support.
Youtube started with no ads, then ads at the end, then ads at the beginning, then ads randomly inserted in the middle.

It's like the income tax. First for only the wealthy, then the tax "trickles down" to everyone.
And ofcourse, most importantly, Netflix (or Disney or Prime or Max) with ads should be free (or really, really cheaper). With internet streaming, we consumers pay for the bandwidth to use any streaming service. And so if Netflix or Disney want to waste my bandwidth with ads, they better be willing to compensate me for it.
I mean, isn't the whole point of Plato that we do everything we do, which is a lot, certainly enough to be dangerous, just by sitting in a cave and manipulating levers while watching a shadow? This does not make text-trained AI seem safer.

Factories are themselves dense in resource usage, so it's different. It's a matter of scale.

A suburban neighborhood that hosts a few dozens of families requires more infrastructure, but can be replaced by a single 10 to 20-story building. An large apartment complex can serve hundreds of families.

Now, it doesn't have to be a dichotomy. It should be even more cost effective to build tall apartment buildings in the suburbs near the city. City-nations tend to expand capacity by creating new towns in suburban areas and extensive planning. That's much more efficient than US-style suburban sprawl.
I have a laptop that is powerful as a Ryzen 5x00, which is quiet and uses very little power. I can take it with me in my backpack and hook it up to my three workspaces by plugging one Thunderbolt over USB-C cable. (I use a Startech Thunderbolt Dock, which hasn't had any issues, except the dislikable Realtek NIC.)

I don't want to go back to the workstation tower life. Unfortunately, I still have to keep around a Ryzen machine for CUDA. But it is loud (even with Noctua fans), eats large amounts of power, and is completely non-portable.

It's binary in "fully reduced" form, what's interesting are the graphical rules for addition, multiplication and reduction.

(They correspond to things you can do with the expanded algebraic representation of a base-2 number, Sum a_k 2^k, but that's a necessary prerequisite for such a number system to work. After all, a way of writing numbers that did not ultimately correspond to the existing ways of writing numbers would be wrong.)
Would you describe an enfilade as related to a segment/Fenwick tree (https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc/data-structures/segment-tree...) which allows inserting or removing elements in the middle?
For addition I can see the binary addition at work. The ding "carries" if it get put in a ring that already has a ding by getting its own ring etc... For multiplication I just WAT

And they want to not be advertised to, so the power move would be to:

1) Advertise "ad-less" platforms to them that contain subtle advertisements for expensive but effective ad-blocker systems - even augmented reality systems that can block most billboards etc.

2) Have a controlled arms race where ads get even more egregious and bypass the old ad blockers. Sell new ones etc.

3) Add really powerful, comprehensive features to ad blocker systems that absolutely beat all the ads, but they only perform well when integrated with new, up-to-date apple and tesla products.

Take a couple expanded algebraic representations of base-2 numbers:

1×2 + 1×4 + 0×8 + 1×16, 1×8

and substitute the second for every 1 in the first,

8×2 + 8×4 + 0×8 + 8×16

then finally un-distribute,

(1×8)(1×2 + 1×4 + 0×8 + 1×16)

and that's why putting small copies of the second number in the place of every "ding" in the first number results in multiplication.
I have been using this one for years, it used to drive two 4k displays at 60 Hz. But since half a year or so, I can't get the second display to run at 60 Hz any more. I think it's a regression in the Linux kernel, but it's basically impossible to debug. A few times it suddenly did recognize it can do two displays at 60 Hz, but it seems to depend on the phase of the moon :/

A free society, yes. A free market no, because you are not setting prices for making transactions for exchanging limited products; the information distributed through the network can be indefinitely replicated and multiplied.

The different 'subpockets' will be competing for expansion as organisms in an evolutionary environment, but describing it was a market would be using the wrong model. The trend of simplifying every free organizations as markets is harmful to rational analysis, and I'd say it comes from over-reliance on a set of values that see it as the only valid tool for solving every problem - i.e. an irrational prejudice. We should do better in our analysis of the evolving world, since society is going through never-seen changes and applying old recipes will limit our understanding.
Not everything needs a business model. Not all projects are businesses.
Looking at the teaser video, Godot (or any other generic engine) wouldn't really struggle with this. It's like few hundred sprites with light scene hierarchy. What Unreal is doing right now is insanely-detailed 3D geometry and lightning, which is aimed at film industry and AAA 3D action games.

I wouldn't use AGS either because its animation is frame-based, and this latest Ron's game seems to use skeletal animation heavily.

More important than the engine is the rest asset pipeline. A crucial part is the tool to author all the skeletal animation sequences. Some engine editors have this built in, and there are dedicated tools like Spine and Spriter. They already supply some 'runtimes' to play out animations in many different engines. Looking at supported engines (http://esotericsoftware.com/spine-runtimes) should help with choosing one.
