All Microsoft products have terrible search, Teams isn’t exceptional in this regard.

If you work at Microsoft, and have any influence on the WinDev team, please tell them that the Start menu search is simply shameful.

There hasn’t been a single major Windows release — server or client — capable of consistently, reliably, and correctly finding start menu items. Worse, every major release is broken in new and creative ways. This is especially true for a fresh install, because apparently a 64-core server needs several days to index 500 KB of text. (Microsoft support told me this with a straight face, almost verbatim.)

Seriously, what is that team doing!?

Is this the same code that’s in Outlook and Teams search too?

It feels like it…
Winforms designer is pretty much it. But who's building windows apps these days :) ?

Helpful, but unless there's an ML/AI form of docking scoring function that's also new the resulting bound conformations are helpful but not really useful for predicting activity. Enough to get started - but can this technology find docked poses for structures or pockets that do not have (high?) similarity to the training set?

As has been said somewhat sadly at various conferences, "Scoring functions suck". They can be trained within (close?) families, they can show reasonable poses when enthalpies predominate but non-bonded/grease interactions were and probably still aren't a strength. It's a start until a crystal structure is generated and will help if/when the sar goes to hell and another is required.
Were everybody else also doing it on pen & paper, or were you the only one?

>produces only α-particles and protons, with no neutron by-products.

Magnificent use of weasel wording there. D-He3 is aneutronic, but of course a mixed plasma hot enough for that reaction is going to have tons of fusions among deuterons, producing plenty of neutrons. I'm not sure if the sky high price of helium-3 is worth just reducing the neutron output of a reactor, rather than eliminating it.
rclone is good too, particularly for people using the command line, and supports client-side encryption.

Even if you can't make money during that time, time is inherently limited and most people value their limited time on the planet. Some may value that time more than some arbitrary dollar amount.
> Starbucks? McDonald's? There's no margin there to make money on delivery, unless you're charging outrageous fees

I’m not sure about that - if you purely count the money that actually makes it to the drivers, it’s reasonable.

The problem with these services is that besides paying for the actual driver, you’re paying about as much if not more to the company itself in the form of explicit fees as well as hidden ones (such as the markups on food items).

The latter pushes the prices to unsustainable levels. If you just had to pay drivers, it could work - see my other comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32088565) about how delivered food used to work fine despite being done by employees of the restaurant itself and despite lacking the economies of scale that restaurant-agnostic delivery drivers provide.
Not in computer science. In the valley, Stanford and UCB graduates are common. I know many self-taught ones that get just as much respect.
That is not obvious to me. Only certain types of restaurants did delivery, and they probably had process optimizations to make it work. One being that the driver was basically paid in all cash netting the driver immediate savings from tax evasion.

It seems like it could be possible, but coordinating many individually owned and operated small businesses to ensure efficiency and throughput seems like a big task. Which is not a problem, but the upside is limited - how much extra are people really willing and able to pay?

Ever since the dominos pizza tracker came into the market I’ve noticed more and more places copying it - and outright lying about the status.

I got a “free” door dash related thing and I tried it (no markup, made the poor guy deliver an avocado from the convenience store, did tip) and it was marked as “picked up” after it had been dropped off.
Calling into an external JavaScript function, which will then throw a JavaScript exception (as the linked documentation states).

Wasm cannot throw the exception itself, nor can it catch the exception. How exceptions are handled when raised in code called via FFI in another language are a property of the embedding and wasm engine, not of wasm itself, which (as of yet, barring that exceptions proposal) has no concept of them besides unrecoverable traps.
Only a dumb detective will reveal how they caught the thief
"When there's a mysterious box that does some vague thing that you don't care about, it's safe to hate it. It's not helping you in any observable way, so opposing its existence is a safe, easy decision"

This sounds like the justification of stupidity. If you don't know what it does it ignoring may or may not be safe.
If you can't observe a benefit to you (I assume you mean obvious and causual observation) doesn't mean it doesn't benefit you.

It's like you've codified ignorance to make it sound reasonable. This is the same level of thought my cat uses to interact with the world.

I've seen the hazards of "raise the dead" campaigns before. You send out a campaign to your inactive users and get 20% engagement. Half of those are cancellations. With 30% sleeper rate, you just immediately 3% of your users. Not fun.

What I haven't seen is an analysis of the effect on retention rate. That's going to play out over time. Some of the users who cancelled were going to anyway and some people you reactivated were saved. It would be very handy to have a formula of what values make sense to send out these campaigns so you can stomach the short term loss for the long term gain.

I want an IaC and nixos level language with prolog inspiration. Let me express how to go from fact to goals with constraints.

It would probably make more sense than HCL or Pulumi.

Agents based language are close in theory but they are really targeted at specific simulation and not at explaining what went wrong.

It would also make it easier to do partial application and resumption of it. And probably make constraints for security easier.

Probably make composition of infra level work easier too.
Analog multiplexer employed as an RF mixer is pure genius.

Of course you can only drive it with square-wave, and mixing with square-wave, intuitively, feels like a terrible idea (think of all the harmonics!). But surprisingly, listening to the recording of the whole thing working, end result sounds A-okay!
Then what's the advantage compared to normal assertions, which I think would be a lot more readable.

I think normally this sort of thing is useful so you can statically check stuff. If it's runtime only that seems a bit useless.
Related to that, I find I often end up getting into arguments with people over the "computers run at such faster speeds than humans" myths/tropes. It's very common in the cyberpunk genre especially that time "runs faster" for people inside simulation spaces (metaverses/The Matrix/whatever). (Or sometimes the other direction where robots/cyborgs are significantly faster than humans at "thinking".)

Computers are very fast at raw, boring mathematical calculations such addition, but that doesn't transfer to entire physics simulations or human scale activities. Think about how much time it takes a large file to download/transfer, for instance. A lot of videogame design through history and continuing through the modern day is fighting to keep the physics simulation close to real time and lot of classic videogame glitches and/or bugs are when it takes longer than real time to simulate. (With the fun that the Halting Problem tells us that we'll never be certain exactly how long it takes to run algorithms, in general.)
SproutCore tried to do that, I believe. They were developing a framework called... Greenhouse(?) that would do exactly that, drag and drop GUI and auto write boilerplate.

It never took off because SproutCore turned into Ember and then died, I think, but not before my company had written numerous things in both SC and Ember...
I think it takes as long as you continue to believe your opinion deserves no counterbalance in a public forum setting.
I expected it because over the years any Dart or Microsoft positive statements I've made have received pushback. Some people can't let go what Microsoft did 20 years ago and assume they are still evil (with GitHub Copilot for example.) Others who are JavaScript programmers can't let go that a Google exec said at the outset that Dart was meant to replace JavaScript. They have fought it over the years.

I almost felt like I was trolling by combining the two, but I'm actually using Dart and Blazor to see how they can work together because Blazor Wasm doesn't do DOM manipulation and Dart does it in such a easy to use fashion that the marriage feels natural to me.

>digest anything related to cost increases other than "it's probably oil"

I think Oil is a large part for sure, probably larger than the others, but I have no way of diving into how each affects prices. Energy costs have grown the most dramatically of the factors I listed, so "it's probably oil" doesn't seem too far off at the moment.

However in the near term, looking at China's labor force (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.TOTL.IN?location...) you can see that it's begun its downward trend (https://www.populationpyramid.net/china/2020/), which means that labor costs in China necessarily have to rise as supply falls, which will affect prices very soon (if not already).

This labor crunch will slowly squeeze in many places and make international goods more of a hassle to produce. It also has a destabilizing effect on the QoL in many countries (see Russia) which will provoke them to drastic moves that make global shipping even more of a pain (more expensive).

Right now we still import lots from China, maybe someone else can find something better than this chart of nominal trade values with China per month: https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html but I don't know if the dollar amount reflects the total volume accurately. I would wager we import less goods overall compared to 2019.

As for why I think demand is the same, take a look at the number of workers in the USA: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS. It's about where it was in 2019 and we managed to provide every service we needed just fine back then - goods have to be more expensive due to some sort of gap in supply, not due to a new outsized growth in demand (in my opinion at least).

The Dominos pizza tracker “lies” too in the sense that it’s just a well-calibrated timer, but at least they’re only hurting themselves and their own reputation.

The food delivery companies on the other hand ruin the restaurant’s reputation by lying about them being slow, not to mention that they have zero excuse for doing so considering they actually have all the true information behind the scenes since the drivers are geolocated in real-time.
The term 'regulate' in the ICC means 'to make normal'. At the time of the ratification, power was given to Congress to make interstate commerce normal instead of exceptional. It took away the power of the states to tax interstate commerce and impose other impediments.
Great article. I've been working in and around this space since 2014, and I think similarity learning, vector search, and embedding management will be a core part of future applications that leverage ML.

I recently built a similarity search application that recommends new Pinterest users channels to follow based on liked images using Milvus (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus) as a backend. Similarity learning is a huge part of it, and I'm glad more and more tools like Quaterion are being released to help make this kind of tech ubiquitous.

You’re on the “happy path”.

A lot of Microsoft software is like this, where they imagined one type of user and for them the product is great..

E.g.: Teams is okay for Project Managers permanently employed at some (single) mega corp.

For consultant developers switching between many clients, it’s a trash fire.

Both scenarios should work well, but Microsoft simply ignored the second case.

Why? Because it was designed by… PMs working at a single mega corp: Microsoft.
Most of the time, no. There are generally far more bodies offered than needed.

There are still entities in the region oppressed by the Israel regime too, human beings whose land has been taken, journalists, children, civilians in general murdered by their army, a belligerent stance on their neighbors, known nuclear weapons... The list could go on and on, but there's no way to put Israel on some noble pedestal, it's a powerful first world nuclear power oppressing people on their doorsteps.
The neighbor isn't a party to the conversation though?

No tools like vite will detect changes, rebuild/bundle/transform, and then inject the changed HTML, JS, and CSS into the page you're viewing automatically. They work by injecting a script into the HTML they serve which connects over a websocket or SSE to monitor changes and slurp them up when notified by the dev server.

It's really a magical experience to have your code open in one window, your browser open next to it, and as soon as you hit ctrl-s instantly see the page change. I won't tweak CSS any other way, changing sizes, colors, etc is amazing with hot reload.
BentoML is by far the best open source tool I've seen for model deployment. Congrats, team!
VB was the peak of computing, modern dev wishes it was as capable.

One of the truely great things about the drag and drop form builder was being able to sit with a user and go through requirements with them, to wire it all up later.

"Ok, so when you type in the customers details, we should have a button to save them into the database. Will we put it here?"
Well, that's part of my point. However, in Lisp you get to macro the language into whatever you like, so you can make lisp into the desired graph language, layered on CONSs, but not so much with other languages because only in Lisp do you get to create an entirely new language. (People think of Lisp wrongly as a programming language, whereas it's really a meta-programming language.)
You're forgetting about how much car insurance is for an 18 year old male. Car insurance alone is $200+/month for a new driver.

It's an imperfect analogy but it might look something like this:

L5: Credit card networks

If you think about how a diode mixer works then you're using a square wave LO, same for a Gilbert cell.

Remember, a square wave is just a sum of odd harmonics. The only downside is that a strong signal at a multiple of the signal of interest might get aliased into your IF. Hence bandpass filtering on the input is important.

If I host my own, I know how to get openCV to only get notifications when a particular feature is detected, but can I get a live preview as a picture-in-picture on my TV while I'm watching NBA basketball?

Buying a HomeKit hosted camera, and AppleTV, and the prerequisite WiFi network upgrade costs about two hours of my time. Could a standalone camera, ethernet/wifi connection, server, and software be stood up for fewer dollars or less time? I really doubt it.
yeah, they probably capture all DNS packets (or packets with answers?) and modify them. That is more effort than a couple of lines in DNS server config.

> In general, how did we get to this point that it is more expensive to order takeaway food from a restaurant than if you cooked the food by yourself ?*

Because it costs more for the restaurant to make it. I'm not sure where you are getting "how did we get to this point" -- this has always been the case. The restaurant not only has to pay for the cost of the ingredients, they have to pay to store those ingredients, pay for someone to assemble and cook the final dish, someone to take orders, payment processing, real estate, electricity/gas, insurance, business fees, accounting, and all that. And that's just for takeout; add dine-in or delivery and costs go up even further.

When you cook yourself, you only pay for the ingredients. We don't think about the electricity/gas costs for refrigeration or cooking, or that the space in our home for our kitchen and pantry costs us money in home purchase price or rent. The main place the restaurant "wins" here is that their cost of ingredients is probably lower because of their scale.

> By logic it should be considerably cheaper to produce 10'000 pizza (this is 30 per day) using professional ingredients and optimised processes than baking your own pizza at home.

If you only consider the cost of ingredients, then yes, that's true.

I would love to see a programming language with some sort of bitemporal data store built in. Let me define dataflow graphs, including highly stateful logic over streams of data, but let me go back and change data, or fix bugs and replay from the beginning of time and view the state of the system (in a nice REPL) at any point in time. Gimme a fast, distributed runtime that can scale to any level of complexity or data size.

I can imagine it being Materialize who build this first but in my heart of hearts I’d love it not to be SQL.
