David Bohm was brillitant but his own worst enemy. He trashed his own career by exaggerating enmities in his mind and occasionally swerving into crackpottery. Sheldon Goldstein (author of this article) and Detlef Dürr are probably the best authors to read on this topic. Dürr has a recent book that might give a more readable introduction, Understanding Quantum Mechanics: The World According to Modern Quantum Foundations (2020).
Getty in theory could just ask for a "fair" (whatever large or small could it be) share in any AI company uses Getty's images to train its models. It could be battle not for instinction, but for the new market share and control over AI companies.
Remember, we're trying to freeze the ice cream (not just cool it down), which is proportionally just as thermodynamically expensive as melting ice.

Is it just proportional, or is it actually pretty close to 1:1? That is, how accurate is the view that if you want to freeze 1L (or kg) of ice cream you need to melt 1L (or kg) of ice? Although I guess ice cream is not just frozen water, so perhaps that forms a fixed proportion. Alternatively stated, how much ice do you need to start with to freeze a given quantify of ice cream?
Hmm, but many of those companies probably have a Salesforce contract too. What do you think will happen if/when SF bundles Slack?
I've been told it's better running inside chrome (I've yet to test this).

I suspect the complicated features mixed with weird memory/performance management techniques and automated testing don't align well with user use cases (try copy pasting large conversations and notice I'll start deselecting text as you scroll).

Not all LP commitments have the same durability.

It’s like leasing a building to a first time restaurant owner or a big public company doing restaurants and getting identical rent. One is more durable (and valuable) than the other. But it gets left out of cash flow.

Same with counts of dry powder.
It is, but despite it being coined by a former US President and WW2 Allied General, it is now taken to mean something akin to "defund the military".

I do think some of the concerns here are right on the nose

> What can be done to minimize the chances of colossal failure or sub-systemic breakdown, which in the worst case could threaten preservation of science and human knowledge?

It seems like the two extremes are degrowth and malthus on the one hand, and haughty denialist expansionism on the other. One is borderline eugenicist and denies billions of people of our american/european standard of living. The other is naive and stupid and ignores the fact that we humans are capable of wielding planetwide power.

The same strain of thinking that lets someone imagine himself as a tiny speck inconsequential to the cosmos, leads to denial that our species can affect the biosphere we live in. There’s a lack of context and of material security and of a culture of cultivating peace and mutual support.

I think there’s a middle ground which acknowledges our need for stewardship, for human-in-the-loop systems level thinking about how we can garden our planet into a sustainable system that is not only able to support us but also helps us to thrive and to enjoy in the miracle of existence.

We have to take stock of what we’re doing that isn’t working, and push for long term success in renewables, efficient human living, beauty in our proximate environments (not just faraway nature preserves). And we have to reckon with needing to mine huge amounts of materials in order to manufacture things like batteries and solar panels to make all this happen.

Ultimately I think we’ll continue to make progress in exactly these goals and it’s important to not lose hope, and to try to positively affect those around you (especially young folks, children are the future).
Ah! It seems your crystal ball is working better than mine. Could you tell me how you know a bigger crash is coming?
I'll say it is valid to use reliability.

If I depend on some performance metric, startup, speed, etc, my dependance on it equates to reliability. Not just on/off but the spectrum that it produces.

If a CPU doesn't operate at its 2GHz setting 60% of the time, I would say that's not reliable. When my bus shows up on time only 40% of the time - I can't rely on that bus to get me where I need to go consistently.

If the GPU took 1 hour to boot, but still booted, is it reliable? What about 1 year? At some point it tips over an "personal" metric of reliability.

The comparison to AWS which consistently out-performs GCP, while not explicitly, implicitly turns that into a reliability metric by setting the AWS boot time as "the standard".
checkout the citrix bond situation. unable to raise targeted goal through issuing corporate yields. its really scary we are seeing corporate bond yields spiking and liquidity drying up.

if a legitimate large corporation is having trouble raising money, its a huge red flag.
That's what so crazy. Millions of people marking the Yeti cooler mail as spam, yet the same email continues for months.
I worked doing layoffs and you always say to the press you are removing low performers because what else are you going to say?

In reality that’s not what happens. Instead you get rid of teams, roles or high cost individuals. Why? Because it is much easier to deal with the work the let go individuals are doing and it impacts morale less.

I never saw a stack ranked layoff. The closest was demanding teams all lose someone. But that leaves teams with really good people getting rid of good people and teams full of dogs retaining them.
Yeah Rust forces your program to use certain patterns. But in return, other users can assume those patterns exist. In result, Rust is one of the best programming languages to do refactorings in that exist. You are less free to write code that can be refactored badly, you are more free to do refactors. A sensible trade in my opinion.
It's easy to forget as literally no other application works this way.
Instance types and regions make a big difference.

Some regions and hardware generations are just busier than others. It may not be the same across cloud providers (although I suspect it is similar given the underlying market forces).

Any time I have to use the Twitter site instead of Twitterrific on both desktop on mobile, the difference is huge. The site is a never-ending barrage of loading spinners.
I've found few claims like this are backed by any sort of good evidence. The actual reality in the form of the masses of people putting in a huge amount of effort to live in the USA seems to indicate that it isn't such an awful place.

Yet I've never seen anybody question these "indexes" and social metrics, or the logic used to draw such conclusions from them. Faced with reality and their own preconceived worldview, they never seem to doubt themselves. "Am I out of touch? No, it's the tens of millions of migrants who are wrong."
I'm okay with revealing my name and my opinions on this site and some others.
Reliability is a fair term, with an asterix. It is a specific flavor of reliability: deployment or scaling or net-new or allocation or whatever you want to call it.

Eisenhower wasn't exactly praising it when he coined the term, and the military and military-industrial-complex are different things. You can support one but not the other, although most people who use it in conversation tend to be against both, since it's implicitly pejorative.
If they have an audience already willing to give them money, why wouldn't they keep that going indefinitely?

What changes if they release a game? The reviews will inevitably not live up to inflated expectations.

And the other change would be that they'd have to start giving a relatively predatory cut to Steam. Compared to their payment processor or crowdfunding platform fees now.
Nobody considering Office 365 is thinking of Discord as a Plan B.
No; because that comes at cost.

I have glasses, they are expensive, I understand that. I have sensitive eyes and overtime they fatigue much quicker then they should.

No one owes you anything, especially at cost. However when it comes to a dark mode option, it doesn't cost the developer anything, it's a theme change.

The other options are great enough for a sub that it's worth it with or without dark mode; the mobile editor and cloud storage are good enough reason. I only felt it was even acceptable to state dark mode should be free because for a good portion of people it's necessity and there are other good reasons to buy a sub. I usually won't test a free application unless it has dark mode by default because it's that hard for me and I know from others that they experience this as well.

With or without dark mode, if you use something like this daily, you will end up caving and paying. Without dark mode, there are people like me who can't even test it out properly (it's physically painful to look at a white screen for too long).
I watched the scene where they first introduce the IT guys and was disappointed to see they cut the finger-licking for some reason.
A mobile app design tool for native iOS developers
Hello everyone,

I’m an iOS developer who previously worked as a mobile app UI/UX designer. As someone with design skills honed over the years, I tend to have a good grasp on how to approach the design elements of my apps. Over the years, however, I noticed that fellow indie iOS developers struggled with the exact same thing I was relatively good at: design.

I decided I wanted to help other iOS developers work on such a problem, and with the release of SwiftUI by Apple, it has made building user interfaces in Xcode as easy as Lego.

The only problem that remains is having enough of a skill and design sense to design those views.

With SwiftBlocks, you’re able to select from an ever-growing catalogue of full app templates and UI Blocks that you can ‘remix’ to match your unique app design needs.

SwiftBlocks autogenerates the SwiftUI code for you so all you need to do is copy and paste it into Xcode.

Let me know if this is a problem you deal with often as an iOS developer and if this tool might be helpful in your development workflow.
Seriously. This is such an absurd feature. You hit “ignore” twice and then again maybe again and bingo! You essentially rendered the feature useless.

It should have an option to completely block access for the time and maybe nothing less than a horrible authorisation allows you to override that.
It's a different development model now. They've long passed the single payment kickstarter-style model and are monetizing existing players. For comparison, Clash of Clans gets over a billion/year revenue [1] but nobody calls it "funding" despite that money being used for further development of the game.

There's probably a lead time when stuff that was contracted previously is yet to be published.

Analogous to when you hear that a TV series has been cancelled and the current series is still being screened until all the episodes in the series have been shown.

It's just business. If it's already been paid for, you will lose that money if you stop using it immediately.

I actually gave fly.io a whirl over the weekend. was not fun. spent a lot of time on the forums and its pretty clear it has some way to go before it can give AWS or Linode a run for their money.

For instance, we run kubernetes on multiple VPS providers, including public clouds with serverless onramp/offramps deployed on edge location. Anything under 15 minutes are processed by serverless. Anything longer is offloaded to one of the VPS containers available in every part of the world.

I have some more feedbacks ready if you are interested, its a neat idea but not exactly as seamless and easy as the idea proposed since public clouds already offer a way to do this.
Sorry but what's twisted is some pseudonymous throwaway account not only shaming people for caring about privacy but also proclaiming loudly that they don't care when their privacy gets violated. You gotta be kidding me.
Yeah, reminds me of the Silicon Valley quote about how revenue is never enough and it's better to be a "pre-revenue" pure play.

There's a greater chance in most places to have your passport lost or stolen from you than losing it from somebody breaking into your hotel room I think (zero data to back this). It's also a hassle; you want to go to the beach and swim or snorkel or any sport, now what do you do, having to keep an eye on a pouch or something.

I'm not sure what you're referring to with two non-interoperable message apps named Messenger? There was MSN Messenger/.NET Messenger/Windows Messenger/Windows Live Messenger, but those were interoperable (they were the same thing, just updates). They also managed to wrangle compatibility with Yahoo Messenger (although by then no one I knew still used Yahoo), and apparently Facebook Messenger, and then did a crappy merger/migration to Skype.

I'd go back to those days in a heartbeat, and I was there.

It's time we killed the subsidies for rooftop scale solar. They made sense when panels were far more expensive but now the 30% federal subsidies for rooftop solar would pay outright for the same amount of utility scale capacity.

Anyone have a mirror on an actual website instead of the javascript application that all NASA.gov sites have become? Even with javascript enabled I can't get it to display anything other than a black screen.

And when I view source on that black screen it's all external JS calls. There are no img or href tags of HTML I can find that contain the images.
It's kinda ridiculous though. My work PC has 16GB of RAM and I periodically hit issues with heavy swapping and routinely causes my computer to BSOD or freeze irrecoverably. Obviously it's not just Teams and its 1.2GB of usage, but it's a significant contributor. (glass house disclaimer: the application I develop uses a ton of RAM, especially with a debug build)

Meanwhile I bought a personal computer for myself with none of my work stuff on it, and I got one with 4GB of RAM because for me that's plenty.
I have a debit card that can be used as a cash backed CC. There's a daily limit on it but if you call in and let them know it's coming through it's not an issue. The last time I had to do that was to pay for emergency surgery for my cat.

In addition, my debit card is attached to an account I use specifically for said card, and generally speaking I only keep enough money in it to cover what I plan on using it for, this limits the amount of damage someone can do by stealing my CC, and I don't have overdraft protection on it to further limit my exposure.

It will certainly make the website more accessible to more people and reduce the load on their computers. This is required for government/public services. Look at how nice the UK NHS sites are. But for-profit corporations are free to, and seem to always, go the javascript application route because it is cheaper and easier to find teams to build them.
While GDP growth has historically been strongly correlated with energy use and pollution (including CO2/greenhouse gas emissions), due to the switch to service and digital economy, in rich countries GDP growth has become decoupled from energy use for a few decades already, already before year 2000. The correlation is already broken, and it seems quite plausible to continue GDP growth even with a decrease in energy use and waste/pollution generation.
It really makes a better picture. Zoom / Meet / Teams / etc does compress a ton, but a big part of the horrendous video quality are webcams.

Another, potentially cheaper way to replace a webcam is to use the main (rear) camera of an old cell phone.

Digital photography, especially using tiny sensors, is computational photography. Webcams are too cheap to have reasonable processing power internally and webcam companies don’t have the budget to create high quality post processing software for the host computer.

It's actually not free as part of all Office 365 plans, sadly. We discovered recently that we'd either have to downgrade(!!!) to the version with only web apps, or upgrade to the version with Exchange, to get teams. (Or, better yet, pay for a Teams-specific license since it's $0.25 cheaper than getting Exchange...)

Of course, the whole reason that we were looking at it is that one vendor who says they prefer Teams for some reason, even though we already pay for both Google Meet and Zoom.
I don't really encounter any issues with it on MacOS.

> It's about "when this function executes, what data does it see, and did any of those values get changed out from under it in a way that could potentially break the logic"?

You're just describing the semantics of functions versus classes, and the consideration has existed long before hooks came around for exactly the reasons you describe. This discussion has also existed long before JavaScript, React, or hooks existed obviously. It's secondary to the discussion because function components have existed for a long time.

None of what you're saying changes the fact that replacing classes and lifecycles with hooks was done despite the fact that 99.9% of the API users would never care about the performance implications of classes, while that is precisely why the React team made the change. JavaScript is plenty composable with classes and without nested useEffect calls, which is one of the most absurd foot gun APIs that I have seen released in my entire career.
Well, that's a pretty extreme interpretation of what I said. It's just one piece of bayesian evidence, not a 100% determiner. Are there any witnesses who claim that this other individual killed her?
