We have a separate Slack for Taro Premium, which is for paying members (a bit more than 100 people).

I think you're referring to the Tech Career Growth Slack which we've built over the past 1.5 years. Users there come from my YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/rpandey1234) or our LinkedIn sessions (https://www.linkedin.com/company/techcareergrowth).
I think trust is the killer for me. Even for relatively benign tasks all it has to do is screw up once for it to not be worth my time.
First, stop saying C/C++. If you are talking about C, you are not talking about C++. If you are talking about C++, you are not talking about C.

Second, give up on C. It simply has not got the resources to help you with safety. It is a wholly lost cause.

In C++, you can package semantics in libraries in ways hard to misuse accidentally. In effect, your library provides the safety that Rust reserves to its compiler. C++ offers more power to the library writer than Rust offers. Use it!
Can't believe it wasn't until this moment that I realized that Morpheus, lord of the Dreamworld, is pretty obviously similar in appearance to Neil Gaiman, author of fantastic (in all senses) fiction.
No one's said the magic word yet: homoiconicity
I have no idea what’s supposed to be interesting or novel here. An AI is just software. Software has always been capable of generating IP, or publishing IP. Why would there be any reason to presume that AI software could start filing patents?
> Creating novel waterproofing chemicals that don't have naturally-occurring ways to break down and then dumping them into the water supply isn't something beavers, or ants, or birds, can do.

Genes encode proteins, proteins are chemicals, so evolution creates new proteins, and organisms often dump them to environment. The difference is that other organisms produce new chemicals through genetic evolution and not memetic evolution, like humans. Some of these chemicals are initially non-breakable, for example after lignin was introduced, it took millions of years to evolve organisms able to break it.

I have two Asus ZenScreen Go MB16AHP. Comes with built in battery and a bunch of other great features.

For me, both of them stopped charging and refused to work right after warranty ran out. Now they are sitting on my shelf waiting to be cannibalized.

I very much enjoyed these screens. They were response, relatively light, fit into the bag, and with their own battery, I could chug along for hours without issue. Oh the joys of getting ready for meetings in airport lounges!

So, Asus portable monitors for me were great design, not so good implementation.
I follow a Facebook page for Helium miners in the UK, because a family member was interested in getting involved and I said I would check it out first. I recommended against it (as I do with all crypto 'investments').

I observed it going "well", with people boasting massive return on investment. I then saw their profits drop, with software updates and faulty equipment being blamed. As a result, people went out and purchased new and more expensive equipment, many buying ludicrously expensive support equipment to improve signal properties. After quite some time of this, I then saw their revenue drop even more so.

Many of these people are invested several thousand pounds (multiple miners, multiple types of miners and support equipment). I see fewer and fewer people post now, with many now accepting their loss.

There is a real cost here, and as per usual, it is the people least able to afford it that pay it.
Studying criminal material of any type is an unfortunate necessity to be able to recognize and combat it efficiently, whether it is CSAM on the internet, photographs of violent crime scenes, or something else.

To bring up another example, this is how Google since many years trains their employees who curate Google Images.

The article just reeks of TikTok bad/China bad.
He's spot on. There are dozens of parameters that can describe audio quality. And his comment compared CD/44.1 kHz to master tape. He said nothing about hi-def.

> The agency alleges the electric carmaker misled customers with advertising language on its website describing Autopilot and Full Self-Driving technologies as more capable than they actually are.

Not really a surprise to see the deception scam that Tesla has done with their false advertising with both autopilot and especially Fools Self Driving (FSD), as I have already said before.

With the countless videos showing both of these contraptions malfunctioning on the public roads, it is safe to say that they don't work reliably and this is even before mentioning the price increases on both of these features.

So essentially, customers are paying for a feature that doesn't work and is dangerous enough to put the driver and many other drivers on the road at risk.

Therefore, this dangerous contraption is an indefensible scam which is already being investigated by many regulators.
> To this day it is a real mystery to me why people would prefer whiteboards over blackboards.

I vastly prefer whiteboards over blackboards. It's the physical sensation of writing for me.

Using markers is smooth, a bit like writing with a pen on paper. Writing with chalk is rough and technically difficult - there is a component of pressure one needs to master.

It's not obvious to me how the finished product is any better with a blackboard or a whiteboard (although I've heard several people try). Or how whiteboards are "soul-sucking". People who prefer blackboards seem like those who prefer vinyl over CDs, but with even fewer coherent arguments. Which is fine - everyone has a hobby - but maybe be a little less vitriolic about it?

Whiteboards do have the downside of staining over time, but using glass is a foolproof solution to that particular problem. It's amazing how inexpensively one can find very large, used, glass-covered picture or art frames.
No, it's far too small. We'd have to send dozens of JWSTs far out of the solar system in order to build a large enough baseline to resolve details.
Wow! I've never heard of thus. How were the counterfeit servers eventually discovered to be counterfeits? Sounds like this went pretty deep.
Same, though I went $30 to $180 or some such shit and I didn't keep playing because it locks up the money. Concur with everything you're saying. On PredictIt the black swan was over-weighted.

You can take the suckers' money, but you end up still being a sucker because your money is locked up.

Key takeaway: For the current benchmark, Alexa provided the most number of adequate responses, with 34.7% of responses determined to be adequate while Google followed close behind with 34.0% adequate. Cortana showed much improvement from the previous benchmark with 31.9% adequate responses while Apple’s Siri still trails with 24.3% of answers determined to be adequate.
It's as optional as the people can be convinced to not worry about it.
The hacking of Nortel, which goes back at least to the year 2000, started around the same time Dunn began messing with the numbers:

https://archive.ph/TZM9A

Whatever other issues Nortel had, the theft of their IP, internal communications, and strategic plans certainly didn't help.
Internal emails is always a big big random variable which can then spawn all sorts of unrelated lawsuits from discrimination, to regulatory fines, to executives' private life drama, etc...

Given the NDAs that would apply to such discovery, were such information to exist and to become public, Musk would likely be imprisoned for contempt of court.

Not simply fined. Imprisoned. And his lawyers would likely be suspended for a few months, if not disbarred. You don't mess with the courts, because they have the power to mess right back.
Agreed, the one thing I really think Simon [1] got right about visuals is the information they relay. Seeing a box diagram is one thing, e.g. boxes, arrows, names of tech (omg, @see AWS diagrams - they're really unexpressive deployment diagrams).

Compare that to a C4 Landscape or Context diagram - and its just night and day - so much more meaningful information and the ability to express not just structure, but to provide hints at data flows, actors, and externalities. In the end, I've found the most value for C4 in communicating architecture to upper management and new hires. These diagrams really make more sense than boxes and lines.

For arc42 I find the document content really appealing - its like engineering thinking. There is no standard template/model for design docs, perhaps this could start a baseline or trend to do something similar. I do still prefer Structural and Behavioral classifications.

Exactly, just like when conservatives espouse "family values" and get busted for infidelity, or when they espouse anti-gay views and then solicit sex from police officers, or when they espouse free market values and then solicit money from the government to prop up some privatized service.

That's the least throw-away-all-grand-narratives-and-indulge-in-whatever-decadence-you-want behaviour I've ever seen, yessir. Reminds me of foot-soldier culture warriors posting pictures of depression-era breadlines and suggesting that that's where sOcIaLiSm is taking us. Wisdom indeed. At least liberals seem occasionally active in trying to keep the status quo from degenerating, rather than profit from its acceleration.
Sadly I think in modern society we have shifted from having to justify why something should be illegal, and today for many the default assumption is that all activity should be illegal and one should need to justify the value, subjective "goodness", or utility of an activity, business, device, etc for it is be ruled "legal"

>by the state itself! But it is illegal for me to gamble on a skill-based game like poker or predict-it

I think you have hit on the root cause, poker and other games of skill is harder for the government to inject themselves into it, harder to control the odds and revenue (like lottery), etc.

> Public opinion doesn't matter here.

Public opinion doesn't matter with regards to winners/losers of the case. But public opinion matters from the perspective of Elon Musk continuing to build his brand and grow his fanbase.

Even if Elon Musk loses the court case, he still want to turn this whole charade into a positive for himself. IE: Fail upwards, etc. etc.

And what makes you think Amazon doesn't do that yet? Kiva systems did what Ocado does now a DECADE go. Amazon acquired kiva systems (infact, Amazon robotics was born out of this acquisition) long long ago and I'm sure can do a lot more than Ocado does now.
> I think he was buying it in good faith.

But these concepts don't even apply to taking a company private. Once you do that, there is no stock price. You can't meaningfully claim that your stock is up or down. And what the stock does between when you agree to buy it and when you take possession isn't relevant to... anything.
That’s a thoughtful and hard won insight, thank you.
You didn’t have to create a new technology that enabled you to transition to post-adolescent.

That's a deeply cynical way to view things, and exactly what people here are afraid of happening.

Clearly the iOS marketing of the past few years has led people to believe that Apple is opposed to advertising technologies that rely on persistently-stored and correlated user behavior, because that persistent store can be plausibly (and terribly) misused.

And remember that the misuse itself hasn't really happened anywhere. People like to complain about Facebook and Google's (also Amazon's, and TikTok is in this conversation now too) accumulation of this data, but so far the actual abuses haven't happened. Tech companies have been, on the whole, actually pretty good stewards of this stuff. But people hate that they have it anyway, and mistrust them.

And now Apple's going to do the same thing.
I feel a bit bad about giving such negative feedback, but I have to chime in with the crowd: Sandy Bridge is out-dated, but it's not "very old".

A dual socket 2687W system (16C/32T, 3.1GHz base, 3.8GHz turbo, octa channel DDR3) can still keep up with a Ryzen 5600X for suitable workloads. And fits into 1U.

Much harder to emulate with a cluster of 486 or C64 (and then 2x2687 total power draw of >500W under full load would seem like a rounding error).
I have not experienced that for what it's worth... atleast not after I rebuilt the whole profile.
I have never heard of Wayne Gretzky; Google tells me he's a hockey player. I don't think I have ever seen a match of hockey in my entire life. I'm not annoyed by what I don't know.

But the "superstitions" that the linked article mentions, are rituals, lucky charms. They're much less dangerous than going around pretending that something exists, that provably isn't there.

Audiophiles are moon-landing deniers. Some might think it's funny or harmless. I think it's terrifying.

If they just bought it and shut up about it maybe.
I didn't know either of these things, I guess now I have some reading to do, so thanks.

Edited to add: Hmm. Actually though, surely that second reference is just "The Book" as it's called, did it actually say it's about ad hoc polymorphism? Because I've read this section of The Book, although I hadn't in 2018, and it doesn't mention "Ad hoc polymorphism".

What's there now (I just checked) is a description of how you'd approach this problem in Rust, using traits, but doesn't claim this is ad hoc polymorphism, and sure enough doesn't involve an arbitrary set of types which is the sort of the point of why "ad hoc" is there in the name.

Even though you are totally right, I can’t fault Elon for having a sour grape feeling and trying to renegotiate hard with all the tools he’s got. Millions of lawyer fees are nothing compared to the billions of losses he is going to have from the deal.

I think these are fair gripes. Would love to add my perspective:

1. I've been handwriting notes for about 2 years now, after typing all my notes before that. I generally agree with the author's points. My take on it, which I think they sort of had their own spin on, is that "notes" is an unhelpfully broad category. You record different things for different reasons. A todo is very different from jotting down a novel idea. So I have an Obsidian vault and a notebook.

The notebook is for my ephemeral notes. That includes any information whose lifespan is less than ~1 week, so usually quick thoughts about imminent meetings or todos for the next day or so. It also includes any time I'm taking notes strictly for my sake when the information can be referenced later. For example, my own personal thoughts during a meeting that has shared notes. In my opinion handwriting is better for that sort of stuff: I think it focuses you, it slows down your thinking a little, and it makes you more likely to remember what you wrote.

Obsidian is for archival notes. Things I may need to reference in the future. That's where I keep any longer running todos/projects, as well as any more detailed/complex info that I might not remember but want to reference in the future. Not infrequently I'll take something I jotted down in my notebook and add it to Obsidian if it seems like it might be useful in the future.

I find this split to be very effective for me personally. YMMV!

2. Totally agree. I doubt most people need or benefit from actually getting into Zettelkasten.

3. That seems very reasonable. I think for me personally it would be a bit of a hassle given how rarely I have a need to go back through my written notes.

So yeah tl;dr would be: I think handwritten notes are the ideal way to record information that you're not going to need for more than a few days tops, but I'd hate to have to dig through my old notebooks looking for something.
Who would bell the cat?
That one is/was Intel. Getting a bit long in the tooth, but still my daily driver.
I appreciate your analysis, but would like to add that I feel that "traditional conservatives" seem to have largely disappeared or become voiceless not only in the US but also in other places like e.g. the UK. I imagine in decades prior traditional conservatives would have found people like Trump or Boris Johnson obscene and distasteful.

However, I don't see many of that old guard speak out against them. It seems with the reducing success projections due to changing demographics, many see winning as more important than values. Or at least that is my only explanation.
Surely I'm misunderstanding, are you really advocating that people should roll their own encryption algorithms from scratch? As in, they should invent novel and secure algorithms in isolation? And this should happen.... at every major enterprise or software company in the world?

True! I meant "artificial scarcity" in the economic sense of monopolies reduce supply of an abundant material to drive up prices.
This is the best way to pick up the fundamentals of a language, but definitely not appropriate for learning deeper concepts. You can only learn what's new. If you're driving yourself, "new" can only be stumbled upon, which is extremely inefficient. It's much better to find somewhere with a consistent presentation of "new", like a book, or complex source, written by people that regularly use the "new".
> I've always run Ubuntu on it as my daily driver

I think linux is an important part of using old machines. I use a 2014 11" Macbook Air, (not too old, but quite a weak processor for 2014), and macOS and Windows run like treacle. Stock Ubuntu with Gnome is snappy though, I don't even need one of the lightweight variants.
> You can’t reuse them you mean

You mean foam earplugs? You absolutely can reuse them.

You can't reuse them if they get wet (they don't stay compressed when you roll them up - a necessary step before inserting them). And I throw them out if they get too dirty.

But I generally get 7-15 uses out of a set of foam plugs before I chuck them. It depends on how much I sweat when I'm using them, and how dirty my ears are.
I'm pleased by making types with the same tag and fields compatible within a TU. That was a stupid thing to work around with offsetof.

Unfortunate characterisation of constexpr in C++ over revisions as feature creep. It's more that any C++ should be executable at compile time with constexpr ultimately going the way of the register keyword, but selling people on things like compile file I/O is a long game.

Ultimately though it's hard to be too excited. I don't have a use case for C any more, beyond keeping some old code alive (with fstrict-aliasing et al and a sense that I really should port it to something else before I can no longer get any compiler to build a program out of it).

Yes, Duncan Campbell’s report is legendary ( https://www.duncancampbell.org/menu/surveillance/echelon/IC2... ). This is the same guy who revealed the existence of GCHQ, and was arrested for this gift to the public.

You could make the same argument about any market. And there is a self-consistent libertarian position that no voluntary economic transactions at all should be limited for this reason. But if you accept any form of regulation, the same arguments apply for regulating any market: historically, many markets have been set up with unfair rules that cheat participants because there is a information imbalance between organizers and participants. The CFTC proactively sets standards of fair play and disclosure to address that gap.

Their letter suggests that they were specifically withdrawing the right of predictt to operate without registration. It seems like the discussion can be advanced by registering.
The remedies proposed by the DMV if it prevails could be severe, including revocation of the company’s licenses to make or sell its cars in California.

Unlikely, but the likely remedy will be that Tesla needs to change the names of these features so that they aren't misleading to the general public.
