> Except in America, where it took on a somewhat narrower, variant meaning that focuses on "social liberalism."

Right and you'll find large populations of both Democrats and Republicans fall under the "Socially liberal, fiscally conservative" banner with Democrats generally skewing one way a bit and Republicans the other. But ultimately, both sides headed the same direction just at different speeds and priority.

I think the woke left and MAGA types have made more noise lately and it has disturbed some of the balance we've had the last 70 years where everyone is essentially onboard with the New Deal Regime.
Chess definitely needs a shakeup, but it's unclear where it can come from. Chess960 (Fischer Random) has never really taken off.

Maybe what we need is to run it like duplicate bridge -- have tournaments where you face off against an opponent starting from a random position, that may be a winning or losing position, and see how you do against other players faced with the same setup.
Semver is not universal. Always read your Software-Under-Scrutiny.

Don't get caught out by the SUS.
It's not the opposite either. Chess is a game of skill, poker is also a game of skill.

The difference is that chess is deterministic and poker is not. Chess skill means being able to forcefully convert a winning or drawing position. Poker skill means optimizing your chances of winning.

Not only is it possible to beat weaker opponents in chess by playing the best moves (contrary to your assertion), it happens all the time over the board. Weaker players are more likely to play moves that transforms the chess game from a win/draw to a draw/loss for them. There isn't a single human or engine alive that can consistently secure a draw against every opponent.

And it's possible for a poker player to mindlessly play the mathematically optimal move and still lose. Poker IS a game a chance, so they could just get unlucky.
I agree, but even if it cost Adobe $1B to build something like Figma, why spend the extra $19B?
Do you have any evidence to support your assertion here? It seems to me that promoting well practiced liars has rarely resulted in reasoned discussions.

Nor does compelling people to promote bad faith actors seem to me anything other than another method of suppression. Compelled speech is not free speech.

Let individuals and individual institutions apply some judgement, as if they were living, breathing human beings able to make choices.

If a university demonstrates consistently poor judgement, that problem will not be solved by having event organisers who believe they are unable to make their own choices.
So simple you can fix the problem in one line but me pointing that out as bad design is arrogance. Gotcha.
I'm not sure I understand your question.

I didn't know who he was and after reading about the pace in the article I decided to search YouTube for a video of him running, just to see how fast he's going, and instead found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSLyzAH9Y0A

Apparently he weighted 100kg, was a smoker and a drinker, quit both and started running in 2012, only 10 years ago in his 30s. Amazing.
I'm arguing for B.

What I care about is timeline, assets, library, keyframes, movie clips, drawing tools, text formatting, tweening and much more. All in one package, cmd+enter to see the output. Maybe even these days cmd+enter is too much, the output should be immediate and even better - live. Bret Victor would not be happy about not-live (dead!) scene. Definitely I don't want to resurrect old Flash. TypeScript is much nicer than AS3, even though AS3 had E4X which I remember to be quite powerful even compared do poor JSX.

I think you're right about missing GC and shipping `List`, `Set` etc. to the user as a part of the runtime. But, if that can chunked out and be stored on a CDN and downloaded only once for a browser session, then this problem won't hurt that much. Once GC is added to the platform I'd love to see Figma-quality reincarnation of Flash in an B-option (from your post) manner.

The only bummer about this is it is such an atypical essay for Paul Graham. He rarely writes lists, and is pretty outspoken about why outlines can be harmful.

I don't understand the distinction you're attempting to draw here. I looked at the Vox article in particular in detail, and it doesn't seem to have any kind of disclaimer that it's in a special section or that editorial standards have been lowered.

Am I just supposed to know that the string "/culture/" in the URL means it isn't real news and I shouldn't trust it? Even as a big proponent of media literacy, that seems unreasonable. News organizations must be aware that people will believe them when they publish things.

By aligning your brand with a specific archetype, it will be easier to build a brand with purpose and meaning and show up in an attractive and consistent way to your existing and potential customers.
What do you mean by "closer?" A modern arm chip would of course blow an x86 server from 200X out of the water, performance-wise. But by 200X, at least for large values of X, x86 was dominant in the server market (apparently they were around 90% of server sales in 2007 https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/despite-its-aging-de... ).

ARM is starting to make some headway, but it is significantly less than half. And AMD does seem to have revitalized the x86 market a bit. It isn't a given that we'll ever see ARM dominance.

And the world has changed, right? If someone is interested in running their workloads on ARM, then they apparently have a pretty portable stack. ARM adopters at the moment will specifically select for those with the least lock-in, who'll try out RISC-V when it comes around.
Not a tiny gap at all.

For which there had been numerous warnings for years by industry observers.

That system does not draw upon outside of network utilities, to avoid Federal regulation, hence has limited reserve resources. And the Texas system did not pay providers to have standby reserves. Thus a fragile system, easy to be subject to failure.

>Significantly, they found that the pretend personas — employing tactics used by countries such as Russia and China — did not gain much traction, and that overt accounts actually attracted more followers.

Because America is fundamentally not peddling the same kind of narrative that Russia or China does.

What America wants is freedom[0]. Russia is run by ethnofascists and China is run by near-textbook tankies. These ideologies are pariahs, and honest propaganda of this bent cannot survive contact with the background radiation of politics. In other words, when America is overt, people complain that we aren't living up to our own standards. When Russia or China is overt, people laugh at them and ignore them.

So, instead, they have to co-opt other concerns and lie about what their ideological opponents are doing. Hence shit like "the CDC created COVID" or "NATO is creating supersoldiers in Ukranian labs[1]". The job is not to prove that China or Russia is right, but to distract from what they are doing. The more they can piss off Americans against their own government, the better.

Americans do not need to do this, because... who is their target audience, here? Hardline Iranian theocrats or the Taliban aren't going to be distracted by covert propaganda. Neither will Russians who think Ukraine is run by the corpse of Adolf Hitler or Chinese who think America created COVID in a lab. People who aren't shitheaded will either respond well to American overt propaganda, or at least point out how America falls short of their own ideals. You don't need to lie to them.

Since America's interests are not furthered by covert propaganda, we should abandon it, since the only interest such propaganda could serve would be fifth-columning the country.

[0] As defined through a liberal lens; i.e. we accept and embrace private capital accumulation and business ownership. Other non-shitheaded definitions of freedom are free to reject this.

[1] Which is literally just the premise of Captain America with extra steps. Every time someone claims this we should reply, "Is this the new MCU movie"?
I like the sarcasm but if you read the report that originally started this review (you can find it in the attached link) you'll find the propaganda in this specific case didn't seem particularly effective. Quoting:

> It also reveals a somewhat damning tidbit when talking about the reach and impact of these campaigns; according to the report, “the vast majority of posts and tweets we reviewed received no more than a handful of likes or retweets, and only 19% of the covert assets we identified had more than 1,000 followers.” What’s more, the two accounts with the most followers explicitly said they were tied to the US military. I’ll try not to think about how much all this cost when I’m paying my taxes next year.

Had US social media agencies been fully in bed with the feds such a report would have never been produced in the first place. Remember, conspiracists always talk about shadowy organizations or groups of people with near omnipotent power - an idea these agencies themselves would like perpetuated to make it seem resistance is futile.

What do you mean by "rejection outright is not free"? If you don't have the option to decline to participate, it's not a contract.
Unfortunately that doesn’t work anymore either, unless you only go browse those subreddits. It’s fully gone the Facebook way, where 90% of your home feed is then “Suggested” or “Promoted” posts from elsewhere.

More money definitely means more time to pivot and potentially make something work. However, most companies still fail, even after raising large amounts of money.

My contention with OP's point is the absoluteness of the statement they made. They basically claimed that knowing the right people will fix all of your problems. If you read what they wrote, that's almost literally what they said. That is in practice extremely far from the truth. For every successful VC-funded company, there are hundreds that never make it to product-market fit. So clearly VC funding and knowing the right folks isn't sufficient for success.

In making such a strong (and in general provably false) claim, the OP is also taking away credit from Figma for their wild success. They got there through understanding their customers and building the best product on the open market. Period.

It's strange because Figma's success has basically nothing to do with "having enough VC money to pivot around to find product-market fit", which is the central tenet of yours and OP's point. Figma was on the right track the entire time. So this whole point is moot when talking about Figma.
> the correct way to think of AutoML is as an enabler that lets you focus more on the data side of things

Yes! This is exactly how we are starting to use it and it makes a ton of sense.

It also allows for very rapid POCs to just flesh out a problem space, then a data scientist can come later and refine.
Look for a keylogger that puts timestamps alongside logged keys, and you can start from there :)
Why would they need to retool? I don't understand why a source code leak means they have to reprogram the game.

> Probably the right thing to do is figure out more of a trace like the current trace profiles but perhaps less low level.

This is the key take away for me.

I think there's room for tracing support somewhere in-between runtime/trace and full blown distributed traces (e.g., OpenTelemetry[1]) - so I'm hopeful this effort may evolve into a good solution in that space.

From a usability point of view, my biggest gripe right now with the go tracer is that it's viewer is...painful. It uses the tracer that's built into chrome, which chrome itself is moving away from.

I'd hacked around a bit recently to try and get the existing go traces into perfetto[2], with some success. As I recall, I couldn't get user traces functioning.

The `go tool trace` server has an api to output compatible json, but it's limited in what it outputs. Unfortunately, the trace file itself is in some custom binary format. All the tools for manipulating it are in `internal/` folders, making them unavailable for import, so creating new tools for working with the traces is quite burdensome.

I'd debated copying the code out into a new project, and starting to hack on it, but at that point, I'd reached the end of my willingness to invest time. Perhaps I should open an issue or mesage the mailing list to see what the maintainers think the future of runtime tracing looks like.

Separating Sports by Sex Doesn't Make Sense
I've updated the article based on some of the feedback.
I read "This is an S, the letter, not a 5." and smiled... aaahhh, someone who's been deep in the trenches. ;-)
I'm guessing you know that would do nothing to "combat inflation". Without additional context, it is also hard to know if a 40% raise is justified or not.

If they got a 10% raise last year and if their "compensation" was already in line with other similar jobs then clearly a 40% raise is ludicrous. If they have not had a raise in 20 years, perhaps it was high time they got a 40% increase.

Maybe you could add more local context for us (assuming you are from the Austin area).
I'd consider them slightly different. "Hellsite" is a pretty common epithet for sites that are the brain version of cotton candy or Taco Bell: Very few people are under the impression that Tumblr or (to show my age) Fanfiction.Net were productive ways to spend their time. But 'hellsite' to me has a connotation of 'is devoid of intellectual/emotional stimulation and challenge' along with 'harmless'.

What grandparent commentator is talking about is, to me, more about realizing that Twitter isn't Taco Bell: It's arsenic. Or lead in makeup: Actively, immediately harmful. Not just 'bad for you'.
It's truly incredible. Even most pretty in shape people could not run a 7:15 pace for more than 2 or 3 miles.
I self hosted matrix-synapse and riot (now element) for a year or more. The resource utilization of synapse was rough on my cheap vps. Upgrading to dendrite and maintaining state seemed challenging. Eventually the server fell over and I didn’t feel like trying to rebuild everything.

I’m all for pluggable SOA architectures at work, but for personal use I’d prefer something turnkey.
Unity is way too heavy to replace the types of games that used to exist on Flash. And Lottie, GSAP, Framer Motion et al. don't really approach the comprehensive platform that was Flash. They're good animation primitives in their own right, but nothing to me has ever felt as intuitive as piecing a few key frames together in Flash and outputting a single file that could be dropped into a webpage with no scripting skills necessary.
Bug in iPhone 14 Pro Max causes camera to physically fail, users say
I was 35 when I was able to run 10k in 47m on my first season after I lost 26 kg the previous year. This is about about 7:30 minutes per mile. I was also able to run 5k in 21:03 (about 6:47) and at the end of the season a marathon in 4:12:00 (~9:35).

I wouldn't consider myself athletic and definitely not "conditioned athlete". I had no prior history of running or taking up any sports of any kind. Actually, I would be spending very few days doing anything else than sitting straight by the computer, lying down to read a book or standing in the kitchen cooking something.

But I quickly learned to like running and I would push myself to run faster, harder, longer and further and I ran about 900 miles between March and October of my first running season with most of the volume in second half as I was ramping up on distance. At the peak I was doing say three 10k days in the middle of the week and then a 20-24k on the weekend every two weeks.

Your personal devices should never be used for work, and should never even be connected to your employer's network or other machines. This article covers one of the reasons why.

In the end, it's about risk management. Keeping a hard wall between work and personal machines protects both you and your employer. I am honestly amazed that people are willing, and even eager, to break through that wall.
FX rates are like racing logic. It might be better to be behind for a while (weaker currency) because that could have long term advantages like moving industry to your country. But you want to be in first place.

The USD is strong because people need to buy things from the US to begin with. That is, at best, a "nobody goes there it's too popular" kind of comment. The idea that you weaken your currency to increase exports is something you do to benefit from growth, like moving industry to China. But if something like an energy shortage or a fertilizer shortage start limiting your ability to produce things with that opportunity, you're just doubled down on a bad situation.

This isn't even a story on "reserve currency" status. This is just the US (and Canada) being in an incredible competitive situation. What do you do when there's a global food shortage and the US is the only country unhindered? You suck it up, buy those stupidly expensive US dollars, and import US food. And get screwed if you owe USD denominated debts while your currency goes down.

And if the US finds it's not at the right level, it can always just... spend more money. It's basically free. Everyone's getting hit with inflation because it's genuinely harder to make and ship things. Slapping on some excess money sloshing around to try and keep things going is dangerous.
Yeah, the same in the UK (though I'd quibble about 'outcompete', and 'stronger than' is quite contingent in both countries in my view).

Our public transport system still works way better than in the US. And I say that as someone who actually likes Amtrak.

>I live in a country where college is paid by the taxpers,

May I ask which country? Whenever I look at education stats for a taxpayer college funded system versus the US, there are tradeoffs made, such as less of the population getting college degrees through stricter (taxpayer desired) requirements. I'm curious if your country has a solution that's better on some Pareto frontier of education funding methods.

Magnus Carlsen has himself commented a sentiment similar to the article , on the Lex Fridman podcast (although not the exact same terms, I think if you _try_ to give the article a favourable interpretation, you can understand what they're trying to say).

You need 'subterfuge and misdirection' in the sense that (as the world no-1 puts it), it's a semi-bluff...a weird/not-really-analysed position, but that will still end up in a draw if the opponent responds appropriately.

Lex: "Is there a sense in which it's ok to make sub-optimal moves?"

Magnus: "You HAVE to, because the best moves have been analysed to death, mostly."
