You have to dig through this entire article to get to the punchline, but here it is:

> "These AI challenges, I would add, apply to monetization as well: one of the outcomes of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency changes is that advertising needs to shift from a deterministic model to a probabilistic one; the companies with the most data and the greatest amount of computing resources are going to make that shift more quickly and effectively, and I expect Meta to be top of the list. None of this matters, though, without engagement."

Relevant quote:

> "The junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client." ― William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch

This is slightly more complex with the social media business model: the product is the viewer, rather like a fish. The heroin-like bait to catch the viewer is the stream of short distractive entertainment content. The actual client buys the fish (the viewer) from the social media outfit. The actual client is an advertiser out to sell a product, a government out to push propaganda, a politician out to get votes, etc.

The more interesting aspect of this is that the clients might be paying the social media providers to control the content stream as a means of manipulating their audience. Weapons manufacturers might want Facebook/Instagram/Twitter to bury anti-war content; corporate media giants might want independent outlets booted off the recommendation algorithm results; established political parties might want independents hidden from view; etc

It's very plausible that this monetization model - i.e. not just the delivery of targeted advertising content to the 'engaged' audience, but also the targeted removal of competing content as a kind of shadow control of what that audience gets to see, is part of the revenue stream of Meta, Google, Twitter, etc.

Of course, people will agree that China is doing this with TikTok, but many tend to get uncomfortable if asked if the US government and major corporations are also playing this game on Twitter, Google, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit.

No, but it’s the only airport in London that the big US legacy carriers - American, Delta, and United - fly to.
Yup. Crypto is basically a pump and dump on a very large scale.
But as we've seen with Tesla, Rivian and others, electric is no barrier to horsepower. Horsepower is a barrier to range, but that's a different problem.

No, the reason there's no market for an electric Challenger et al is because the electric one doesn't sound right.

Around here, it seems pretty much every other pony car (Challenger, Mustang, Camaro) has reworked the exhaust system to "sound better", so it can be enjoyed by everyone else within a mile as they do their full throttle runs down empty street at night.

It should also be noted that Cadillac has already (year or so ago?) stated they won't be making any more ICE performance cars. All of their future ones will be electric. I doubt this is GM wide, pretty sure the ICE Corvette is filed in GMs "cold, dead hands" drawer.
>At the end of the day it is up to users to decide what they want to do with their computers - and deal with pros and cons of their choices

The issue with this thinking is that those cons eventually cascade back to the developer, if you know for a fact users will use an option that is going to break the intended use case. Window Maker is going to be broken or have a sub par experience with the situation you describe, because that only works with applications that support this method. Old legacy applications with no scaling support will still need support from the window manager. So that is a perfect illustration of why that solution is inferior and can never work correctly if you want to take this angle of "I can make whatever choice I want, including the broken ones".

I do not think so, your additional writings have drifted further from that subject. I should remind you, this thread is a discussion of GNOME, not Window Maker.

I found the key part of getting your application up to speed is 80% of the time, the query itself. Using stored procedures, bulk insert and the like, have speed up more "slow queries / databases" then anything else I've seen.

Of course, if your coder already knows and does this, your last resort will be moving the DB closer to the app (the last 20% of optimisation).

So, I'll start with a disclaimer - I've only futzed around with FRP in Haskell, and never for money. Somewhere on an old computer I've got some code to simulate a pool table. But it has been a few years.

The pool table is pretty fun to model. You've got events, which are collisions, and you've got an evolving state that you can sort of fast-forward through thanks to elementary physics. if you want to sample at a given time, you can. You can calculate out the time to the next event (collision with another ball or bumper)

For me, when I got to multiple objects interacting at different times it got really tough to store the state of the world. (like after the break) I didn't try to support angular momentum - but it would have been fairly straightforward to add.

What I've been thinking about lately, is algebra driven design https://algebradriven.design That'd really help with nailing down the data structures and operations on them. That book has a couple of really gnarly sequenced state with constraints examples, that came from real production code.

There's no closed form solution to some problems (a lot! most problems!). So I think really nailing down a data structure, and providing operations on that data structure are essential. You, well, I need to create an environment where I can create tactics for solving special cases, without that code for the tactic getting smeared all over the code base.

I'm a dilettante, I've got very little experience on the JS side of things. But from pure Haskell, I'm a reasonably sophisticated amateur. So take my opinion in that context.

I think the automated tooling for finding laws presented by Sandy Maguire really have a lot of potential for Locking down those interactions - and opening up new ways of decomposing those interactions, to make more sophisticated descriptions of interactions. I'm not clever enough to find a closed form, but given some state and a time delta, I can work out a bunch of special cases - the interactions. Keeping that tidy is tricky. That algebra approach seems really promising.

Again. I'm a dilettante. Take my opinion in that context. There are probably horrible corners where all this falls down. Anyway, the day is starting and it's almost time to go wrestle yaml.

That does not follow. WPF is also not backwards compatible and you have no issue with that, because Win32 is still being maintained so that makes you feel you can ignore WPF. Am I wrong here?
You don't need to be snarky.

Robots.txt isn't for hiding/suppressing information.

Often times you can have whole URL structures that are redundant with other ones, mainly database-generated pages with all sorts of possible query parameters often disguised as paths. Robots.txt is extremely useful in ensuring crawlers can make life easier for themselves by limiting to the "real" content, as opposed to the redundant stuff. Crawling the 5,000 real pages, not the 500,000 additional URL's that return the same content.

Also for ignoring "interactive" pages like login pages that make zero sense to be crawled.

People "give a crap" about robots.txt because it's useful for that.

Some of this may be association with recent violence in addition to shifting towards greener pastures. The Challenger is a fun car to drive, but anecdotally, I know quite a few folks that can’t see one without envisioning it plowing through a crowd of protestors.
If it lands mainly in the oceans, then effectively yes. (I don't know enough to say if there's a mechanism that would do this everywhere or most places)
We couldn't have done it any other way. If we had slowly developed new technology we'd have run out of coal during the industrial revolution. We needed a slow build up on the shoulders of pre-industrial giants, and then a massive ignition of all our resources to reach as high as we could, hopefully finding a ledge of some kind where we can create a sustainable perch. Then, maybe we'll start again and slowly build up to a massive boom. But that's just speculation.
> That’s because the company correctly intuited a significant gap between its users stated preference — no News Feed — and their revealed preference, which was that they liked News Feed quite a bit. The next fifteen years would prove the company right.

Stop right there. What you mean is that their corporate wallets like it. These companies delude themselves if they consider “spend more time in the app” as an indicator for users liking it, in no sane world it is true.

I like Mail.app because I need to spend so little time in it to get the most value out. I hate Instagram because it happens all the time that I missed a friend’s post because I didn’t scroll far enough.

Curiously enough, this self-centered self-delusion only happens in UI teams of pseudo-free double-sided market “products” where you have to keep viewing ads to make the corp money.

This business model also breaks how the market is supposed to work—the actual users and paying customers are now separate groups, users cannot vote with their wallets (or even leave, because the offering is free and my friends are here so the moat for competitors is infinite), and company’s interests are not aligned with theirs.

Just wait until those trucks are electric too and can accelerate as fast or faster than current electric cars.

But for some reason we don't care about car crashes and people getting run over and we keep designing highways and roads specifically to accelerate vehicles next to regular people and slower moving modes of transit and we keep locking people in their homes unless they drive 70 mph with near-instant acceleration to go half a mile to the grocery store to get a loaf of bread.

Ironically, .NET is positioned to use a shared runtime but Linux has all the package manager tooling and Microsoft's never took off. The buggy nature of shared runtimes on Windows meant that the culture is to ship a full runtime with your .NET app.

I'm not sure going back to shared runtime libs is worth the headache but I guess if you were really resource constrained but running .NET it would work for you.

I’m not sure about that. I have never seen the notation Z_2 being used for the Gaussian integers, for example. Their notation is not quite standard and this is often a bad sign. Also the abstract on arxiv is full of latex commands…

Umm. All proofs are in NP, not sure how that is relavent.
This paper is bad.

Edit: For a math paper, this paper is badly written, structured, and organized even if the argument turns out to be correct. (Which is ~0% chance.)

It's important to remember that P=NP doesn't just imply that P = NP; it implies that P = PH (the polynomial hierarchy). There are a whole series of much harder problems than NP that also are in P if P = NP.
Finding proofs is always at least NP hard! Remember, any proof is at least going to include some boolean phrase (this is true and that is true so we get such and such), which is just BSAT, an NP complete problem.
In other words, yes. It's very very unlikely.
> However, the term "Data engineer" was specifically created by/for ML folks to get rid of unpleasant repetitive work that has to be done but nobody looks forward to it.

This may indeed be how the term "data engineer" is used sometimes, but I have my doubts that it was originally created with this meaning. Not really sure where/when the term "data engineer" was actually created, but ICDE started in 1984 [1] and the Data Engineering Bulletin was renamed in 1987 [2] (from "Database Engineering"). It seems likely that the term "data engineer" has also been used since at least then.

Of course ML did also already exist then, but it's certainly a while before the current "big data" / "deep learning" time. And regarding the topics considered "data engineering" at that time, this is from the foreword of the December 1987 issue of the Data Engineering bulletin:

> The reasons for the recent surge of interest in the area of Databases and Logic go beyond the theoretical foundations that were explored by early work [...] and include the following three motivations:

> a) The projected future demand for Knowledge Management Systems. These will have to combine inference mechanisms from Logic with the efficient and secure management of large sets of information from Database Systems.

Which sounds just as relevant today as it did back then. It also does sound like a rather challenging task, and not exactly like "unpleasant repetitive work". Or at least not any more repetitive than: change some model parameters / retrain model / evaluate results / repeat ;)

Ah sorry about that. I think my comment came off as a bit rude after reading it back to myself. Backend development means so much nowadays I think it would be hard for someone to publish a general book on it. But maybe someone else has found something that I'm unaware of.

- Any up to date online course of the programming language of your choice

- https://hpbn.co/ (networking)

- Build APIs You Won't Hate (api design)

- API Design Patterns by Geewax (somewhat opinionated, but overall good resource for api design)

As in building containers to run tooling? I've gone down that route quite a few times and it usually isn't ... terrible. I've had some issues with access to USB and hardware from containers, but I can't remember the details anymore (I ended up ditching the project because of alternatives that were easier to work with).

One challenge is that when you work on a team and you know there will be people who have to maintain this stuff further down the road, you have to both ensure that they can make use of the technology (are allowed to by their employer) and that it is documented. I've worked with companies that won't allow Docker for instance (for reasons I was never made aware of).

(A lot of people seem to have gotten really upset about this posting. Most of the comments seem to indicate that a lot of people didn't actually read it and/or understand the context. It wasn't a language shitpost. It was a plea for people to please stop making tooling that just creates a lot of work for other people).
To be fair: nepotism is rampant everywhere, and has been throughout history. How many groups have you worked in or seen where everyone got recruited from the same set of schools? Where everyone used to work together at some other company?

The difference with what you're seeing is all down to who is allowed to be nepotistic. When south asian engineers were predominantly junior immigrants, you didn't notice anything wrong. Now the casteists are doing the hiring too. But the effect is the same.

A good perspective on the ever-shifting mediums.

Isn't the whole premise of modern social media to get you to engage in stuff you would not normally engage in out of societal norms, but is data driven to prove you can't look away?

Most modern "personalized infinite feeds" are preying on these psychological tricks where we can't look away from something shocking, seductive, or comforting. i.e. show something painful and then show something pleasureful to play games with your dopamine and adrenaline.

Technology will continue to get more persuasive until we find moderation with it. The medium will continue to evolve and we'll continue to increase our screentime year over year cutting into our sleep and work until we do so.
