Feasibility of this fusion work aside, I think it must be quite amazing to really believe in all these things to come true, it's like living in the future.

I wonder whether Sam really believes in all these ventures, or if he's just building hype? I mean according to his timeline the whole world will run on Helion fusion energy in 15 years, A.I. will write all of our software code, we'll all pay in cryptocurrency using our biometric data and quantum computers will be a proven, practical technology (among other things). Would probably be amazing if these things came to pass (at least for some of us), but if I would go around and tell people stuff like that everyone would think I'm crazy. Then again I don't live in SV, so maybe that's on me.
Bingo, right up there with “if you want something to be confidential don’t make it digital.”
I suspect you are yearning for a shared syntax that supports distinct constructs for declarative structure (layout), composable functions for inheriting/overriding style and imperative/functional glue for behaviour.

For me, Reagent still reigns supreme because it is ClojureScript on top of React which compiles to JavaScript, renders to HTML & CSS but with the full power of a high-level programming language that hasn't changed since it was designed 15 years ago: https://reagent-project.github.io/
Bitcoin is not fungible and because of its hard cap does not incentive actual use as a means of exchange.

I'll never understand why BTC Maximalists refuse to acknowledge faults in BTC and see how other currencies can solve them.

If you're running an Apple Silicon Mac you can get an early build of Teams osx-arm64 from the exploration build link listed here.[0]

I've been running a daily build for a few weeks and it's noticeably better than the Intel build on an M1 Pro. It launches in half the time and feels far more responsive (probably due to not needing to use the Rosetta JIT for Electron). That said it's still a daily "exploration" build so YMMV.

The amount of shilling for nuclear energy on this site is never ceases to amaze me. It's just more expensive than alternatives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_nuclear_power_pla... and the costs related to storing fuel, decommission old reactors and so on are also huge and paid by the taxpayer.
I’m familiar with metric learning within the Mahalanobis family for kNN oriented applications . I’m not getting what use cases this framework targets? Is it custom image search type stuff which may benefit from fine tuning?

What is a realistic minimum viable dataset for an approach like this? When is it not advisable? How does it compare to other more basic approaches?
Nothing, that's kinda the point.

I'm not talking about just deleting the pixels. If you know your measurement instrument introduces artifacts, you just move it around or use some ground-truth image until you map the artifacts and then subtract them out by convolution.
I tend to agree. If there's a reason to drag Reddit, this isn't it.

Reddit is a messy place, but not nearly as messy as Twitter. Twitter has all the same problems and more. What this author is running up against, which is what all social networks run up against eventually, is that their vision of the site is not totally in line with the company's vision. It's yet another moderation policy story disguised as an IPO story.

Barbell investing from Taleb makes the most sense to me. Cap your downside, go balls out with the rest.

And prioritize long-term assets over cashflow. Revenue generating assets are best.
I pay for 5 podcasts, I do it via Patreon, Memberful, and a custom (stripe-based) solution. I'm not really sure what problem needs to be solved in this space. I pay for 2 podcasts that I haven't listened to in months, I do it because I pay to support these creators. I don't need/want my listen history to directly correlate to sending money to hosts I like (nor do they, they'd much rather have the constant stream instead of peaks and valleys). Also, I actually hate the idea of "boosts", it just encourages bad behavior (just like IAP's that aren't one-time/DLC/remove-ads).
There's no interoperability between services. We really don't have a video calling standard or anything. It's great that you can use 50 proprietary services, but have you ever called anybody without asking "Do you use Zoom/FaceTime/Teams, etc?" No, you have to get in touch with them before hand and arrange the video call or install some client application. You can't just give someone a number and make a video call like you can with a traditional phone. Nobody ever asks me who my cell phone carrier is to make sure we can make a phone call.
I remember a story of a X400/X500 based email system taking two hours to deliver mail within a single machine -- around 1990 or perhaps a little earlier.

> if the original uses highly-tuned x86 SIMD

BTW, if there is a problem with the current WASM performance, it's probably SIMD.

Again, based solely on my own benchmarks, exclusively in the area I'm interested in (game-type workload, so, say, multiplying many small matrices, performing geometric tests), there is little to no speed-up from wasm-simd128 (where it is supported), whereas native code compiled from the same sources, by the same compiler, profiled on the same machine, seems to be running a bit faster when vectorized.
> WW2 was the last time that we fired brass for incompetence

I don't think this is true. Two examples that immediately spring to mind because they've been in the news:

- In 2017, the Navy removed a rear admiral and a captain when a destroyer collided with a civilian tanker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_John_S._McCain_and_Alnic_M...

Realistically, what are the viable directions from here, and what are their outcomes?
Sounds like a misunderstanding similar to how people misquote Occam’s razor. Maybe the average person really does only reach 10% of their mental capacity, but they’re still using 100% of their brain to do so.
Fair enough, and I can sympathize with that having grown up in a difficult situation myself.

I went further and do believe society can be, and should be, better. It’s perhaps a less happy way to live as I can’t just live for myself, but from a philosophical perspective I can’t do otherwise after thinking on it.

Please don’t take that as judgemental of YOUR choice; as I said I’m actually highly sympathetic to it. I honestly believe there’s a better way to live and strive for it, and would love to convince others that way.
Doesn't sound like it...

My player is not as precise as that but it works for me. I have a dedicated skip button and I keep adding meta keys to make it skip more (each meta key is x2).

I seldom want to choose a track to play. The next track to play is automatically selected based on the combination of two factors: being skipped less and being selected less.

I get to hear my whole collection in a way that's far more enjoyable than an unweighted shuffle.
Helion addresses that in their FAQ (https://www.helionenergy.com/faq/). TLDR, they have produced six working prototypes, the most recent which has been continuously running for 16 months. These haven’t produced net electricity yet, apparently due more to scale than to any unsolved scientific or engineering problems. Prototype 7, “Polaris”, is aimed to scale up the design to produce net electricity by 2024. This new hiring spree is to figure out how to mass produce it.

It's the same for the desktop version. Not being able to see everyone is egregious.
I think you've misunderstood.

There are at least two separate things are stake here: there's professional software engineering, and then there's hobbyist programming.

Software engineering has been undergoing professionalization (in terms of processes and safety standards) for the last 70 years. It's one of the few ways in which software really is an engineering practice: our standards are written in blood (or fraud), just like every other engineering discipline. In this context, DRYAC and "don't write it in C" are excellent principles: we've successfully professionalized and compartmentalized beyond the need for the bad old ways, except in limited cases (corresponding to domain expertise or specific, legacy requirements).

Then there's hobbyist programming, where you can do whatever you please. I write C for fun. I implement hilariously outdated block ciphers for fun[1]. I couldn't write a web app if my life depended on it. The key understanding with hobbyist programming is that it's (1) adequately disclaimed as not usable in professional contexts, or (2) adheres to the same standards as professional, potentially critical, software engineering.

Open source started as case (1) above, and is slowly turning towards case (2) where it matters. And where it matters is cryptography and, increasingly, memory unsafe code.

In other words: you're more than welcome to build a model train set (I do it), but it doesn't qualify either of us to run a railroad. What qualifies us is learning and performing everything else involved in the safe and normal operation of a modern railroad, including knowing not to build steam engines anymore.

Back when I had to use teams I would try going on a VC and if Slack was also open, my battery would drain in about 30-45 minutes (on a new-at-the-time MacBook Pro) and be super laggy the whole time.

Ever since then, as long as I’m not presenting, I’ll only call into video calls from an iOS device, regardless of whether we’re using Meet, Teams etc. It’s improved the situation a lot.

Also I always turn off my video feed while others are talking. I never understand why on a call with hundreds of people, they’ll all be constantly uploading their live video stream. Seems wasteful and inefficient, maybe somebody could comment on just how much or little it really is.
Teams is likely the worst communication software I ever used on any OS. It can't even consistently sync messages across devices.
The look is the glasses equivalent of the bluetooth headset.

Though it might be cool in the style of scouter, if you're into that kind of thing...
Don't buy a house until the real estate market crashes. Then buy.

I bought a fixer-upper in 2008 for 200k; sold it for 425k 5 years later. Recently it sold for 650k (we still get redfin notifications.) In the meantime I bought a house for 625k (nice house with some rough edges) and sold it 18 months ago in covid real estate madness for 950k. We certainly put money into both houses over time, but we'd never have been able to do what we did had we not started at the bottom of the market.

Wait a year or two.
I've had a good experience with Discord. At work we use it as our primary voice communication software, and it hardly ever has issues with audio quality. Screen sharing is also configurable, which is good as you can better decide where your bitrate goes.

Sure, it's still Electron, but as far as Electron apps go, it's pretty responsive. Uses about 500MB RAM even on my personal account with literally hundreds of joined communities, some of them with thousands to tens of thousands of members.

It also doesn't drop notifications and the read indicators are not insane.

I still prefer Slack's text chat for business use, mainly because threads are frictionless to create, while on Discord they are more like "temporary sub-channels" where you still need to give them titles. But it's otherwise pretty good, and it has GFM-style highlighted code formatting.
I can't speak to the strengths of the VScode plugin, but if it's anything like the emacs gdscript plugin (which I use with Spacemacs + vi keybindings), then the integration is very tight. I get just as much completion as I do in the in-engine editor, I can run/debug/breakpoint etc. I've been using it for ~2 years.
My opinion: this user is confusing different communities; just because different subs are on the same site does not mean they operate the same. There are definitely porn subreddits that ban for self promo. Some subreddits are for aggregation and curation only. Some are for OC (original content) only. Reviews on /r/movies are typically done as text posts. This user should have taken some time to understand the community they were trying to engage with.

I feel what is underpinning this thread is a job dissatisfaction issues from the ratio between "using other people's software" vs. "writing software for others". The former is inevitably frustrating as I'd become a consumer of software, rather than a creator. Kernel programming, and low-level system engineering in general is more aligned with the latter where you have more creative freedom and less constraints from other people's abstractions. It's like driving an automatic vs. manual car. The latter is just more fun, despite its inefficiency.

Enjoy the courses!

I understand the theory behind this, but when it is used in an analogy like this it really blows my mind.
This is textbook projection.
Yes, that’s correct.
I had a contracting gig at MSFT a few years ago. I remember one occasion where I voiced some gripes about using Teams with some FTEs I worked with and receiving nothing but blank stares. I couldn’t believe they didn’t find Teams as frustrating as I did. Maybe they were just used to using crappy MSFT tech?
I think you have a point. I should have been more clear. What I'm saying is I don't account for anticipated withdraw when investing. That's not to say I don't or won't do it, just that it's not a consideration when putting the money in.

I treat the question of if I can afford to take money out or if it is a good time to take money out as an entirely separate topic.

I found that trying to optimize investing and weigh risks for a short-term Horizon will drive you crazy.

Lightning network is a hack. It doesn't actually work.

- There are many ways for a malicious entity to rollback a payment and prevent it from being detected (just DoS the watchtowers).

- You still need to make an on-chain transaction to open a new channel which incurs on-chain fees and limits the scalability of LN.

It's incredible how money can corrupt large groups of people into convincing themselves that a solution works when it simply doesn't.
Not missing them at all. In fact, wouldn't wear them even if I'm being paid to be that. Stone age tech :)
Apologies if I misunderstood, but in this case wouldn't the workaround be equally as simple? For example one could manually set the dns resolvers of one's own device to 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4
This estimate uses the Linear No Threshold (LNT) model [1], which is unsupported by science. The organization you mentioned, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation no longer uses this model.

The relevant wikipedia quote is

One of the organizations for establishing recommendations on radiation protection guidelines internationally, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) that previously supported the LNT model, no longer supports the model for very low radiation doses.

The actual UNSCEAR paper is [2]. The relevant quote is on page 33:

Projections of the absolute number of cancer cases in a population have less and less information value and can be increasingly misleading at lower and lower doses. As a matter of general practice, the Committee does not use the risks inferred from studies of populations following radiation exposure at moderate and high doses to project absolute numbers of radiation-induced cancers following exposure at low and very low doses.

I don't need you to be able to deduce what the J is doing. What I need is to write the computation as fast as possible so I can get the answer I need to know and then get back to whatever else I was doing. If I was writing something I needed to share with someone else, for sure I wouldn't use J!

Of course. The board has a fiduciary duty and in this environment, getting the company to be sold to Musk for anywhere near the agreed upon $44 billion valuation is a win.

Plus, after seeing the lawsuit filed yesterday, I think they really want Musk to have consequences for his actions. He has gotten away with making a mockery of the financial markets (remember funding secured?) for way too long. Set a precedent, make him pay!

I think so? Everyone I know at companies that have bought it also had employee-lead efforts to buy slack and/or zoom, and employees use those instead, like Adobe for example. I haven’t used it personally but I have only heard very negative things in my network.

Resources are more expensive because of interruptions due to war and disease.

Like in the 1970s. Crude oil prices went up 10X between 1972 and 1982. Is it surprising that the price of everything went up during that time, or economies everywhere experienced stress?

Fiscal and monetary policy isn't the whole explanation, no matter what certain recipients of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel would have you believe.

This is kind of ridiculous: Every subreddit is different. Some allow self-promotion and some don't. The ones that do allow self-promotion just happen to not be as popular as the ones that don't allow it. Hmmm

A big reason why Reddit is so popular is that it is mostly free of self-promotion spam (and generic, scam-like spam) and one of the tools that keeps the site spam-free are the anti-self-promotion rules. As annoying as it is--I've tried to promote my own stuff and had it taken down--it's not really as big a problem as spam.

There's a tradeoff here: If you allow self-promotion you're devaluing your subreddit (well, it depends on the topic of the subreddit I guess). Also, let's call it what it is: Advertising. It's just a genre of ads. Nobody likes ads because 99.99999% of all ads are trash and they get in the way of the other content people actually want to see.

I've desperately wanted to spend money on a better solution like this, but gaming being the only major use case makes it a difficult sell to the rest of the team. That cute UI bullshit wears thin very quickly in a work setting. It's also really tricky to get other 3rd parties and vendors to join your discord meetings in 2022.

All they would need to do is remove a bunch of gaming-related crap and sell it as Discord for Business to take our money from us. Maybe just a light sprinkle of outlook integration would be nice too. I'd sign annual agreements for this today if it was an option.
Was is because of the language or because of the IDE/Environment/Library?

My impression is VB is a language sucks but VB the entire package (forms, form editor, IDE, etc) was pretty awesome.

So the arguably a similar IDE with a better language would be a huge win.
Using the same tool for prod building is really a value-add. I'd love to seem them get there. I realize though that there's a fundamental difference in dev mode vs prod bundles. In dev, Vite is emitting 25-50 or so JS scripts. In prod, those will all be built into bundles. I just worry about small inconsistencies between esbuild and Rollup when it comes to things like CSS bundling or TS to JS transpilation.
