No. If you’re just waking up a lot has changed. There’s a pandemic. Donald Trump (seriously!) was president. There’s a new Cold War. Everyone works from home and drives an EV. Cars can drive themselves now. It’s a weird time to be alive. Good luck!

Am I dumb but does that thread prove that DALL-E does in fact have a secret language, it's just not exactly the meaning described in the paper?
both. Otherwise, was there an overall increase in consumption?
I've heard a lot of tension & angst from workers in this industry, growingly so. One question I really don't have any idea about is what kind of headcount it takes. How big is the crew of a train? If you're picking up or dropping off some trains from a factory or warehouse or whatever, are there also on the ground people? They're part of the same union? Are they employed by the people running the train? How many might there be?

I have so little knowledge. But I imagine like 2, 3 people tops working on a huge huge train. I understand that it's completely bogus that the company just can't plan ahead, that they're so unprepared when a delay causes the crew to hit their maximum allowed hours for a stretch. But I also have so little idea how many people it takes. If it indeed is like 2-3 people, holy shit, these companies just need to employ standby people at some significant volume, and stop being total cheapasses.
I am not sure what to make of this wall. Is it copypasta?
> Mobile orders get pushed to the front of the line, so instead of waiting in line you can place a mobile order and go grab it right away.

Interesting, so customers pay for queue priority with their location data. Except the problem is it's not a fully consentual agreement, customers aren't explicitly aware of the arrangement.

My apathetic side says we're entering a world where it's so inconvenient to have privacy that we'll probably not bother.
I used this book (+ others obviously) and I think it was the best one around so far, for me at least. It does contain exercises for you to solve specific problems, which is helpful, but otherwise 4clojure comes closest I guess.

By the way, what languages have books that makes you go from knowing zero to being able to jump into a standard X-language project repository after reading through the book? Usually it goes from "knowing nothing" -> "knowing a bit, solving small problems" -> "solving bigger problems, maybe contribute to small projects" -> "being able to contribute substantially" -> "being able to own a project and lead it", and I know of no (single) books that takes you across multiple steps. Usually books focuses on one of the steps.
Cultivate an informed set of friends.

Avoid large spaces.

Books. (It's a somewhat one-sided discourse, but not entirely so.)

If in need of specific expertise, seek it out. Much will be written down, some isn't. Many authors will respond to a well-considered emailed question.

Conversation scales poorly. It's easily disrupted. Intimacy is the opposite of scale.

What kind of discourse are you looking to have? Shooting the breeze? Discussing fads? Feeding curiosity? Building or understanding something?

Those are all distinctly different.
I can look out the window and see what the weather is where I am now. Beyond that I am interested in the weather for my general area over the next couple of days, which is imprecise enough anyway that my exact location doesn't matter.
You don't need to speak the local language to live and work some place. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of migrant workers (temporary or permanent) around the world are unable to speak the local language upon entry.
Hahahaha how are people thinking you’re serious!
That's a really interesting observation you make, and one where I'll have to think on it for a bit. One of my thought exercises on this is to think about Glen Gould vs. Simone Dinnerstein's interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. There's something I like about the way Dinnerstein hits those keys that is different to my ear than Gould.
20 years of complete & total control of an industry is way way way too long. If we're going to allow what Qualcomm did, it should be 5 years, absolute tops, probably less.

This is just so proper fucked, such a messed up manipulation. And I agree- it does look legal. The law debases itself, delegitimizes itself, brings shame to itself by permitting this unbelievable horseshit. Which, as others elsewhere have pointed out, is what was allowed: this ruling got appealed & overturned. Qualcomm got away with being a tyrant & ruining an industry.
totally agree with you, but I wonder if things would be different if the players of the casino were aware that the jackpot winners were plants, fakes, renting lamborghinis or worse, actually profiting on money laundering schemes while passing it off to their instagram followers as being a good day-trader.

just shaking my head that anyone thinks putting their life savings into an alt-coin has any chance of going well for them
>Is that an exorbitant amount of money for maintaining a (global?) digital map?

Absolutely - Google is just one player, Apple Maps, Bing Maps, OSM.

Charging consumers 300$/year for map updates would never work even if free offerings didn't exist - they are just targeting a small niche and optimizing (ie. even if they made the price 30$/year most people would still use phone maps so they might as well milk the market that wants to pay for their solution as high as they can). If there were no free competitors someone would drive the mass market price down way lower than 300$.
All mechanical engineers. All of them. Even that guy, who corrects himself when you're in the room - as soon as you're gone, they're back to the codes.
See, I can easily think of reasons to ship ships on other ships. I couldn't think of any practical reason for cranes to lift cranes, and indeed it was a publicity stunt.

Oh yeah, was never a fan of Satisfactory's combat. Did they ever make it optional?

I really wanted to enjoy Satisfactory, but found the first-person perspective made factory building tedious. I know they've made some QoL changes like adding a grid to make it easier, but...meh. It's a beautiful game, but so far DSP has been my favorite factory builder, but gimme another dozen hours and I'll decide how CoI compares in the longer game.
In case if it was not clear from the way I phrased my question, it doesn't make any sense. The business _legally_ collected marketing information and then got fined because they collected too much, did it for too long, or didn't make a good use of it. I just don't get it.

Not to mention that the metaverse "universe" looks, for lack of a better word, kind of shitty. I mean all those billions of dollars (or maybe more) invested to get something that looks like this [1]? Or like this [2]?

Not since Google+ have I seen so much hybris when it comes to one of the big SV companies, but at least back then Google didn't bet the entire company on Google+ succeeding or not the same way as Facebook (ok, Meta) seems to be doing right now with the metaverse (yes, I know about the "all small arrows behind one big arrow" or something like that speech that came from Page but it turned out not even the Google higher-ups believed in their prep-talks).

I guess not enough people are using Cardinal for a meaningful discussion on that specifically.
DevOps is a philosophy, not a job role. It's the idea that developers deploy and operate their own code. An SRE is often someone who helps make that happen, by building the tools necessary for developers to operate their own code.

In a small organization, you can get away with a sysadmin running a Kubernetes cluster to enable that. In a larger org you'll need SREs as well as Operations Engineers to build and maintain the tools you need to enable the engineers.
Lots of communication was more effective with voice calls than video calls.
Unfortunately I’ve been unable to dig up the details and citations but there have been companies that have tried. It isn’t as straight forward as it seems. See my other comment in this thread about one that tried. I even owned their stock for a while hoping it’ll work out but in the end the FDA didn’t want to encourage safer TRT’s. I was floored when I read their justification and my stock went to zero, and it looks like the company is dead now. I wish I could dig it up, the FDA memo on their decision changed my view of medicine forever.
And what made it more promising than Friendster?

Your citations don't say anything about the web. I also don't know why you are wasting your time. I am not really interested in trying to convince you since you are astoundingly abusive.

FreeBSD was certainly loved, by researchers and universities, but I don't think we can trust a source that appears to be marketing, "we're No. 1!" I know why NetBSD ran the web for so long, because it was based on BSD4.3, ran on everything, was well-supported by a community in active development, included pkgsrc and all the ports that came with it, and it is free, unlike the alternatives Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, which also more often than not took advantage of pkgsrc. Linux was just not a viable option for running a public webserver between 1993-200x, but as to why NetBSD and not FreeBSD, I can't answer, but I know for a fact that most webservers globally ran NetBSD from the development of WWW and for over a decade, and the rest, in minority, ran Windows Server IIS. Why this is not widely documented is no mystery; it just isn't that interesting.

Believe it or not, I honestly don't care. Believe what you wish.

Or the guy on your couch?
From what I can gather, the current crew for most trains is 2. There are no cabooses anymore, so it's just what crew can fit in the engine compartment, and there is no provision for crew rest or sleeping on the train. Engineers and crew are swapped out at specific points, when the train arrives at that spot.

The workers suspect that the railroads want to go down to 1-man crews on the trains, for cost savings, but they feel (and I agree) that that's probably unsafe. There are on-the-ground people at endpoints, some bridges, critical crossings, etc., and the number of fixed ground staff would go up with 1-man crews, but that doesn't help when you have a problem 60 miles into the cascades.

Standby people is a possibility, but trains are often out in rural, or even inaccessible places; it may not be possible to get a supplementary crew member to a train without a helicopter or at least a multi-hour drive.
sure but the ground has shifted dramatically, in large part due to Meta because of standalone devices. You can't overlook that and pretend the tech is still 90's era.
I’d go even further and say that in most cases these days, even true genius is likely to be overlooked unless it coincides with a gift for self-promotion.

Only the absolute rarest of masterpieces can rise above the noise just based on the brilliance of the work itself. And even then, there’s a pretty good chance someone better at marketing will just copy it and receive all the credit.
> Or do I need to build a new room just for AR/VR stuff?

Probably, at least until we perfect the matrix or 360 degree treadmill tech.

Yup completely agreed. Restaurant chains badly wanting everyone to install apps is one that really annoys me. Mind you the general hunger for data even beyond mobile bugs me. I went and bought shoes a few weeks ago and they needed my email address as that was how I would get my receipt. So of course now they keep sending me all their sales bullshit. It is all incredibly frustrating and stupid.

As I understand it, all of these features are not features that people really like, they are features that 'drive engagement' in that horrible UX A/B testing sort of way. The basic tenet is that if you can increase the anxiety of the user they will spend more time checking the app. If I am messaging someone and see some blinking dots, I will stay in the app until they message back. Otherwise I might use the messaging app as an asynchronous tool and not waste all of my time in it.
As others have noted the app works fine without location on. (Android also has "only when using App" settings) It does default full location access all the time which is where the problem starts. Sane defaults required.
Is it older then Delphi?
bulls*hit.

1)

It's true that trying to use a "pure" solution ("[source]@[yourdoma.in]" - e.g. "amazon@mydomain.com") causes a lot of problems (red flags being issued on the remote site).

On the other hand with a mixed solution ("[partial_source_mixed_with_something_else]@[yourdoma.in]" - e.g. "zeama@mydomain.com") I never had any problems (I anyway keep files/keepass-entries to track which userid&pwd&email I'm using for which URL).

2a)

My common&real email address gets quite some spam (no filtering applied) (but I admit that the amount during the last years was stable).

2b)

My custom email addresses almost never get spam (even the ones that I used for "weird" sites) => I assume that whoever gets in some way email addresses performs some kind of healthcheck on them to get rid of the ones that might identify the source (from where they were extracted).

2c)

The few spam emails that I got during the last years on my custom email addresses indicated that they originated from 1) the garage which I use to swap winter/summer tires and 2) my doctor (?!) => it was interesting (e.g. is my doctor's IT compromised + did the garage sell my email address because I didn't visit them during the last two years?) => anyway changing address (which got rid of the spam) was super easy in these cases :)

The strategy seems to be "if we put this potato in a suit no one can really get too mad, and if they do we'll just bake him".
I remember walking into a computer shop in the late 90's and saying I wanted to install Wifi in my house. They looked at me like I was an alien. One of them literally said "Why would you want that?"

It was probably less than 5 years before Wifi was ubiquitous.
For my part...

Crypto, as they see it, is the only asymmetrical bet of their lifetime

this is the part that makes me feel the most cynically incredulous about some of the claims and aspirations not just from my friend but others who have bought entire box cars on the web3 hype train, andit's probably my own biases and notions about the world, but:

is it really all that asymmetrical? I presume you mean in the same spirit that the people who jumped in on the GameStop wagon did so not only because they saw dollar signs, but they bought into the notion that there had been some discovery, an inefficiency to exploit and they were "sticking it" to the institutional trading system by refusing to sell?

If that's not what you meant, feel free to stop reading, as my skepticism is borne out of completely misunderstanding your point (and I concede the misunderstanding on my part).

On the other hand if so....

I don't see the asymmetry, really. I just see a new set of thumbs on the scale. That's the cost of admission isn't it? Is that what I've been so oblivious to in my own apoplectic shock at all of this?
> Despite all the negatives associated with Facebook, I think she was the best thing to happen to FB and Mark Zuckerberg.

Yeah, my impression has been that she has provided cover for FB and Mark Zuckerberg.
Unclear what "rendering a webpage" entails exactly.

If you want to do frontend development, you can give shadow-cljs a try, the quickstart is pretty quick: https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs#quick-start

If you want to just render server-side HTML, something like compojure (HTTP routing) and hiccup (Clojure data -> HTML) is pretty easy and quick to get started with (https://gist.github.com/zehnpaard/2071c3f55ed319aa8528d54d90...).

If you want to generate HTML files to serve with nginx/whatever, you can just use hiccup and `(spit)` the resulting HTML to files on disk.
Way too hard
This.

That is the true reality of it all.
I don't know! I do know that I vastly prefer meeting people in person, compared to talking on the phone, and I think it is the same for a lot of people. I prefer it so much that I occasionally spend hundreds of dollars on airplane tickets to travel to see friends and family and attend meetings in person.

There is clearly something different in in-person interactions that makes me do this, and if Meta or someone else can replicate part of that experience I believe that could be very valuable. Think even of the environmental implications - so much energy is spend moving people around, imagine if AR platforms could reduce the number of trips by even a small percentage!
Too much marketing fluff around a minor resource optimization
nobody knows because it's not a real thing. It's one of those "there's something there and we need to be a part of it when it gets big" kind of things.

I don't believe that VR will ever become mainstream btw, but AR has huge applicability starting from business but also for people involved in all kinds of sports, especially anything to do with bikes / skis / motorcycles etc...

I strongly suspect Facebook will not be the winner of either use case.

Apple / Disney are much better positioned to capture the "virtual amusement park / mall" space than Meta.

Google / Microsoft are better positioned for the work / leisure time use case.

Conclusion: Meta is screwed.
Don’t confuse investor sobriety after an epic party with strategic miscalculation.

Zuck is taking a gamble. Good for him. It’s extremely rare for a big co to have the balls and for leadership to have the autonomy to do this these days. He has both.

He may fail. But at least he took a big hairy audacious risky shot at first to market and a chance at being what Steve Jobs is to smart phones.

I wouldn’t count him out just yet. What he’s doing with Oculus as a
loss leader is interesting, and the tech is hitting an interesting inflection point as it becomes wireless, low latency and cheap for the first time.

Hate on FB and confirm your biases all you want, but watch this space.
Devops work / oncall is one example that comes to mind. Some people really like - it's a fast paced environment where one can debug large systems, and apply fixes that make a lot of other people happy. Others can't stand it, and just want to write code.

Some people get satisfaction from writing some low-level code that isn't really visible for the end-user in the form of any feature, but e.g. makes the system 10% more efficient - think about kernel optimization work for example. Others again mostly get satisfaction from delivering user-facing features.

Then there's people who will get satisfaction from just being able to work with a certain set of technologies, who might not be happy about being asked to work with other pieces of technology.
I think tRPC.io works well for this, but haven’t used it for anything big. Curious what other folks think of it.
She seems squeaky clean compared to the Clintons, Trumps, and Bidens.
> We just locked everyone in their houses for the pandemic and people hated it.

Feel like this is not consensus on a tech forum.
Same, also on Android. I have maybe half a dozen apps installed that did not come with my phone. Most of the apps that did come with my phone I have removed or disabled.

I also keep location turned off unless I am actively navigating in Google Maps. I know that doesn't eliminate all tracking but it's an easy thing to do.
There's some form of language here... the correlations are evidence enough. The Grammar I believe is complex and likely not human grammar thus certain words when paired with other words can negate the meaning of the word all together or even completely change it.

For example "hedge" combined with "hog" is neither a "hedge" nor is it a "hog" nor is it some sort of horrific hybrid mixture of hedges and hogs. A hedgehog is tiny rodent. Most likely this is what's going on here.

The domain is almost infinite. And the range is even greater. Thus it's actually realistic to say that there are must be hundreds of input and output sets that form alternative languages.
Mark Zuckerberg's interview with Lex Fridman changed my perception about him. He seems really an empathetic person. Maybe he's too deep into his own dogma but he's definitely not robotic.
