There will at least have to be a law restricting the duplication or creation of persons; otherwise the dictator only needs to copy themselves >N times where world population is N and vote themselves into the top leadership position(s). It would be a race to the bottom cloning people, consuming all available compute resources, just to maintain status quo of political power. And it will be the wealthy/powerful who can afford the resources for mass self-duplication.

And then the question of personhood itself; someone is going to try uplifting animals (or raw creation of new beings) and we'll need a rigorous threshold for the properties an intelligence must have for personhood, and this is also vulnerable to the mass-cloning takeover of democracy because the simplest artificial person is likely much less resource intensive than a human, so they will quickly outnumber everyone else and who knows what their values would be in a democracy?

If it helps avoid the truly dumbest of all straw man arguments surrounding gun violence, then fine.

news: A person killed 19 schoolchildren with an AR-15 assault rifle today.

average American: wow, we should really enact some basic laws to keep powerful weapons out of the hands of known unstable people.

This is Raganwald, (http://raganwald.com).

I'm glad you mentioned both a blog AND a brand. They can go together (as they have done for me), but I honestly get different things out of them. Blogging helped me work out my thoughts on many subjects, not all of which were useful for "building my brand."

The brand, on the other hand, helped me build enough personal security to feel safe taking chances like quitting my job long enough to write a book or three (e.g. https://leanpub.com/javascriptallongesix/read).

So, each one contributed to the other, but I feel they delivered different benefits to me personally.

Now as to whether the blog or the brand have been worth it to me... I'd say blogging was worth it to me independently of the brand, and I'd do it again exactly the same even if I knew I wouldn't build a brand again.

In fact, if I started today under an alias, I probably wouldn't build the same brand. I think a lot of my minor, b-list success was my work, but a lot of it was timing as well, my first modern blog-post was published in 2004, and that was a time when it was much easier to stand out.
I’ve seen a few orgs who elected to use Azure because they don’t want to give revenue to a competitor, leaving technologists to “make it work.” Who makes technology choices in an org is an important question to ask when interviewing (which C level
role, CTO vs CIO vs CFO etc).

I have no preference either way, everyone’s money is green.
Never played with WP Unix that much, but the notion that their printer driver system could be adapted to terminal output doesn't seem surprising: it could print that image on dot matrix printers speaking several different "printer control language" variants, some of which required some ingenious hacks. Terminal graphics fit quite well within that family.

WP also had pretty good support for the early laser printers, which had a wide range of ways to tell them to do stuff. Some wanted bitmaps, some built their own and you had to sent them fonts; etc. It was UGLY.

IIRC they even had some drivers for optical type setter things, the old stuff that used thermal paper. Not sure of those made it to version 5 era.

Clearly. Things that seem super obvious and intuitive for an end customer require one to go through multiple hoops to get done. At this point even AWS seem to have give up trying to look at big picture and provide higher level end to end services. They are happy to roll out lower level primitives.

I guess there’s a good amount of money to be made by building end to end solutions on top of AWS services.

I was synchronizing iCloud and importing mail it took very long and that process was using the most amount energy.

Since I was using my Envy for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word, with Edge and Chrome open, I didn't expect the Macbook to shutdown, since it has great battery life. (According to some people) I don't care to be honest, but I hate it when I things turn out differently for me and I have this experience a lot and the things we do, shows this too. (benchmarking, but differently than the majority of people)

Edit: I forgot to say, I don't hate Apple or the Macbook at all. it's the notebook that's first on my list, when I suggest a good model.
Desktop yes, laptops not so much.
Frankly I find both of these really hard to wrap my head around. Not like football fields or olympic swimming pools are better, but the country of Finland being ¾ covered gives me a much better sense of scale than x million hectolometers.

Probably that only works for people that are from nearby Finland and/or into geography, though. For huge scales like these, I'm thinking degrees might theoretically be a better unit, since it's easier to visualize a fraction of the globe (presuming people know there's 360 degrees around the globe) than picturing hundreds of thousands of some other unit.
All these Silicon valley start ups are trying really desperately to argue that they are not actually employing people.

> AWS feels like 700 two pizza teams designing a cloud all in their own black boxes.

Couldn't agree with this point more, and it's enough to make me prefer Azure. AWS is taking open source tooling and slapping a very thin veneer on top to make it their own. Almost nothing is cohesive or easily integrated. You can ask the same question to three AWS solution architects and get three similar-but-different stacks suggested.

Azure seems to be going the way of solid, simplified, integrations between their tooling (things like Synapse), while AWS is trying to be first to market (or fastest, or cheapest) with all of these individual components.
Thanks for reading my deep dive and your comment. If we zoom out to one year ago, most non AI-savvy people would have considered it preposterous that a graphics designer could become AI automated anytime soon. I believe, similar to you, that we are in the same position with software development becoming automated. Most tech people consider it preposterous right now, but watch it happen in the next couple years.

My point about the highly skilled creative workers retaining jobs is that they may have a year or two of lead time before they too get automated by the AI-job suite.
Ah, I didn't read it that way, too many pronouns.
Honestly, not that bad. Classmates openly laughed during announcements. The next day they issued a correction, which was worse than no correction.

I like the clean design, but the marketing copy could use work. For example, "We’re the leading southeast new business specialists" doesn't mean a lot, and also has a typo (region names should be capitalized).

My personal website/blog is my digital outlet as a coder. I love working on it and have had some kind of website since I was 9 years old (which was 27 years ago). When I travelled I blogged a lot but haven't written a new post in years. Instead my site has evolved into my side project where I get to play with the front-end. I plan to keep working on it and doing blog posts for the rest of my life (or the life of the internet).

That's more tractable. Gotta make sure everything hits the same z-height and the contact patches are right... But you still have a capacity issue.
The link you provided doesn't seem to work for me. I don't think it's a particularly useful metric anyway, as the actual code matters a lot, not just the semantics.

Also, those examples were very simple ones, and APL has a lot of handy composition features[1] that make function composition the best in any language I've tried, including Haskell. For example (+/÷≢) in APL is (liftM2 (/) (foldl1 (+)) (fromIntegral . length)) in Haskell.

I can assure you that children from middle school onward absolutely do not give complete and truthful accounts of their interactions with friends. True, this can be a point of family tension! It’s a natural and probably healthy push and pull, children wanting privacy and independence, parents wanting access and control. That’s the process of growing up into your own person. There would be something developmentally wrong with a child who didn’t try & succeed to some extent. And something inhuman about a parent who didn’t resent and resist it. Children get ahead of themselves and parents slow them down. But the kids are supposed to win in the end, ideally before their 18th birthdays.

I worry that digital surveillance gives such an asymmetric advantage to parents’ natural helicoptering impulses that future generations never win. Worse, that they realize they are overmatched and give up. What kind of adults will they be, when their agency has been broken on the wheel in this way?
You still need to conduct the heat away from the sources to a radiator of some sort, since cooling is proportional to surface area and it’s much easier to increase surface area by adding fins than by increasing airflow. You can only speed up the air to a certain point, past which better cooling becomes a matter of shaping the components for more contact with the air.
I think this is absolutely correct time to ask something to the people who have worked on this kinda integration. Currently we have a PSP which gives a webhook on successful payment. The challenge here is once I receive webhook (which is a stateless POST request to one of our server) we want to attach it to a browser with an open websocket connection. I have to make a redirect now what do you think is an ideal way to make it? Currently I am posting it directly to the notify page which is waiting for success/failure response. But the problem here is I don't have any mechanism through which I could make a post request directly with the browser context as well as redirect without explicit post(which ofcourse displays payload - think success/fail response). Can you provide a better way for handling the redirect here with form post?

To make things more clear we have our client which wants to display a QR hosted on a different service where it comes via http redirect on requesting one of the server API - then this service gets the webhook & it has to redirect back to the client again with the payment status/webhook response.
I built an app like this & raised a respectable pre-seed round for it. tl;dr journaling types were into it, but already had a journaling process. Regular people would use it for a week or so & then stop. tbh (app) had flash-in-the-pan success with the concept, but did it via simple one-tap survey. Might be a tbh 2.0 approach here.

I can create a fully functional website in 1 minute using Azure Web Apps, but it will take me 2 days to configure millions of options for AWS Beanstalk... So definitely Azure is better, because AWS is extremely overengineered and needs a lot of administration overhead.

> How can this be so different from the situation with, say, the nvidia drivers, or even many wi-fi drivers, where it took years of effort from the community before reaching fully working drivers?

Support for Apple Silicon has much less device combinations to deal with unlike what you see with other devices. There is only one type and fixed set of GPU, storage, wifi, bluetooth drivers to support vs the hundreds of hundreds of GPU variants, with the infinite combinations of other devices found on PCs.

Also the so-called 'open-sourcing' of the Nvidia drivers which got the Linux fans too excited, only to be disappointed to realise that Nvidia was not only still working against them, but the news of this announcement turned out to be a red herring.

Pushing GPU FFI wrapper code to binary blobs is still not 'open-source'.
That is just counting the markup you deliver for those requests, not your style and JS bundles, which I don’t think is the spirit of the post.

This is very generous of you and I would appreciate it as a candidate. In my experience, almost nobody does that. I even came across companies that never looked at the portfolios that they had requested in their job ads. One of these companies even hired me! Fun times.
My blog is probably the single best thing I’ve ever done for my career.

It hasn’t gotten me a single job. I’ve only changed jobs once in the past 12 years and my blog had no impact on that. My blog helped me learn out to right. How to formalize my thoughts. How to effectively express ideas to peers.

IMHO everyone would be very well served if they improved their writing. A personal brand on that blog may or may not help.

I am convinced that every decision behind Azure goes like this:
"Did AWS do it like that? Then no."
"But it makes everything we do worse if we do it differently."
"That's fine."

Had a similar experience when integrating with Microsoft Teams. The integration worked OK for 99% users, but for 1% users we were getting some vague "not supported" errors without explaining anything (what's wrong or how to fix it), sometimes just 500's. Nothing in the documentation about the errors. Filed a ticket, the support guy gave a few suggestions, but it was clear he didn't really understand the documentation himself, I explained why his reading of the documentation was demonstrably wrong and had nothing to do with my problem, he agreed and promised to escalate to the actual dev team. Haven't heard from them since then (it was several months ago). I've had several such interactions with MS which led to nowhere. Meanwhile a competitor (we integrated with, too) used to solve all our problems in 1-3 work days.

Our fight with fat: Why is obesity getting worse?
One interesting question - how do you weight emulated minds / AGI in a democracy? If a given quantity of compute can run ten “human-level” or one “10x human-level”, how do we allocate votes? (I’m declining to specify “10x of what” here, it could be speed of thought, or IQ at human-speed cognition, or something else).

What if a “10x-human” mind can do some thinking, come up with decisions, and then temporarily fork itself into 10 “human-level” instances, vote 10 times, and then join back to its more powerful self?

Put differently, in a world where minds can vary in power/size/scope by orders of magnitude, does “one mind = one vote” make any sense? We might be forced to look towards “economic weight votes” and systems like quadratic voting.
I use hledger and while I also use my actual bank balances as targets (and often I do get obsessive, to the point of chasing down cents), I think it would be impossible for me to do it without importing my bank statements.

It's not the transactions themselves that I find tedious, it's all the ways I split them. My partner and I split many transactions together and we often travel with friends so I charge friends over Zelle/Venmo for transactions we had while out. Importing transactions from my banks makes it significantly easier to reconcile all of these, especially when I'm on a vacation. Ease of writing importers was a huge driving factor when I switched to hledger from GNUCash.

It's amazing discipline that you enter these manually. I remember that GNUCash has decent autocomplete which certainly helps. I don't think I'd be able to keep up with my finances myself if I had to input it all myself. I personally have anywhere from 50-100 transactions a month.

We have those in the USA. They are called cars. They are incredibly popular.

This isn't just a pedantic joke. My point is there will be little demand for such a thing in the USA, since the USA, unlike much of the world, supports a culture in which it is, for better or worse, already easy to avoid going outside for more than a couple of minutes at a time.
This feels like one of those classic things, though, where you read this and go "ha ha, that'll never be valuable or even work in real life", and then in ten years you read an article that's something like "Hackers Steal Ugandan President's Credit Card Data by Reading a Single Bit".

You usually have to budget a few °C of difference just for pushing enough energy through heat exchangers. So the rate of chip temperature / external temperature is lower than the rate that effectively determines the cooling efficiency.

Being in the data and startup ecosystem for some time now, have been trying to extract value from data, but the first step was always to get the infrastructure right and when I tried to do that, always got stuck in selecting the right tool for each step of Ingestion, storage, transformation and BI among 100's of available tools. And even after spending time and energy, chances of ending up choosing tools which are difficult to scale well with each other in a reliable and maintainable way are still very high !!
