I liked the main theme of concentrating on practical AI that adds value right now, but disagree with his opinions on CoPilot.

I use CoPilot in all or my development modes except for the LispWorks IDE. I find it very useful, especially when I toggle over multiple code completions, picking the best one. It is not as much about writing code for me as it is saving time looking up documentation. I usually work in Emacs with a REPL so checking generated code is quick.
Based on my own experience here is what I use.

I write backends with either a static server, AWS Lambda, Python aiohttp or Java with JAX-RS. The last two basically work like Sinatra. I have used Java at work since Java was in beta so I am comfortable with it and I have almost as much experience with Python. I have a lot of fun developing little applications for myself (a party controller for my music system, a workflow application for handling job applications, a similar system for constructing machine learning data sets.). Java though rules the roost in terms of being reliable under heavy load. I really have a lot of fun though with websockets in aiohttp.

For front end I have been using React, use MobX when appropriate, but I am thinking about how to transition to WebGL (maybe react-three-fiber) because I am inspired by video game interfaces, AR, and such.

I’d say that any shoestring project needs a lot of de-risking and you have to balance time spent learning and doing. If you are learning a language and framework that is radically different from what you know then you are going to do very little. Thus I’d tell people to stick with something they know if they like it. If you project is ambitious and time is limited you just add something new (like the WebGL stuff for me) only if it lets you do something that would otherwise be impossible.
Exactly. I know one myself, one of the biggest companies in the world, who's tenant name has no resemblance to their company name. Security by obscurity is not a security feature but it is a barrier...
IIRC, there are also no empty merge commits in the Linux kernel git logs.
Apparently CarPlay itself has had the ability to drive multiple displays for ages. It is the car vendors that haven’t utilised it.
I use Go, JavaScript (vanilla no framework) for the front-end, PostgreSQL, DigitalOcean
Why should X% of people be on social programs if 75% of them can type a number from the parsley tag into the computer (or scan the tag on the parsley)? Isn't it a more dignified life to have a purpose of helping your fellow humans select and pay for their groceries than to sit around being paid by a social program because we didn't want to make cashiers' jobs more automated? I think for those people lowering the bar is helpful to their psyche.

(I had a family member, since passed, who was significantly mentally handicapped by a difficult birth sequence. She loved nothing more than to feel like she was included and being helpful to the limits of her ability.)
Well, having a few more pieces of the incomplete puzzle, my thought would be, maybe you can take the metro 1 or 2 stations to a less jammed area and then Uber from there. But well, maybe that's out of the question if you can't deal with the "filthy" conditions.
Why was that title editorialized as "around 83.4%"?

83.4% of 500 is exactly 417. The article is also exact about these numbers. No need to add "around".

Edit: Why was the title editorialized to begin with?

Edit2: looks like the title was updated to the original. Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-ios or https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-android ?
I was similarly going to recommend HTMX — think the ease-of-use and beginner-friendliness is exactly what OP is looking for. (The Rails comment mentioning Turbo is basically the same thing as HTMX, so feels like a few of us are in agreement.)
I agree with this from the article:

"Netflix already limits the number of simultaneous streams per account, forcing you to pay more if you want more. In other words, the “problem” Netflix is trying to monetize has already been monetized. "
They didn't suggest the web is doomed, just that more aspects of it are opaque. I don't think they're talking about every day users of the web either, but rather nascent developers.

The early web was a great equalizer. Anybody could study a little html, download an ftp manager, jump through a few procedural hoops and have a web page. After some studying and trial and error they could even build an interactive site.[1]

It's easy to miss all the potential of wasm when that's what you remember of the web. To me the amazing thing is that browsers will still work with the methods described above[2] but we're on the cusp of being able to do almost everything a full application environment can do.

That said, even though there will be plenty of OSS wasm tech, it'll still be more opaque to those of us who don't do compiled languages. It'll be a lot tougher to just fork the code and do something more creative with it.

[1] PHP used to stand for "Personal Home Page" and, as one of its founders put it, was created so that "any idtiot" could make an interactive site.

I believe the author is referring to the money Taleb made during the 2008 financial crash, rather literally betting against people using mathematics to model complex systems (which collapsed and failed rather badly, much as Taleb predicts).

I care more about transistors than cores.

If I were designing a CPU and OS from scratch right now, I'd put in at least a hundred cores. An M1 Ultra has over 100B transistors. That's more than 1000x the transistors of an Allendale Core 2 Duo core from 2007 (which had 170M split among two cores). I could literally fit 100 Allendale cores those suckers on less than 10% of the M1 ultra silicon.

I'd probably have 1-4 fast, modern cores for tasks which don't parallelize. I'd then have a massive number of auxiliary cores for tasks which do parallelize.

I'd also make good use of this to isolate processes, so for example, a rowdy browser tab can't slow the rest of my system down.
Please open GitHub issues (or PRs) for any tables you'd like to added! If there is a cost API then we'd definitely like to have a table to query it. In the meantime, you may find the "Thrifty" mods useful - they have many prebuilt queries to look for cost saving opportunities in AWS, Azure, GCP and DigitalOcean - https://hub.steampipe.io/mods?q=thrifty
many languages had functions but not functions over functions (algol had downward but not upward), there's a level of genericity in lisp that I believe came from the math side of things because they dealt with ideas rather than machine architecture

This is awesome! I went 6 times to Microsoft AD’s pricing page and I could never figure out how much it would be! Then I remembered it would be bundled with Azure, which, like any cloud, has the “It’s 0.0062$ per unit of consumption, so sometimes it’s 2€ per month, sometimes it’s 647€, we never know ourselves, good luck!” effect.

Has anyone else sometimes avoided a cloud service because the pricing was opaque?

It's not strictly volume of protein, no.

I can and do eat six eggs, or a 300gm steak, or a half liter of yogurt, in one sitting.

All of these are readily digested. They also have fat, and buffing a yogurt shake with whey protein pushes the balance toward protein, sure. But strictly volume of protein doesn't hold up.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT read Dostoevsky. It's full of harmful memes which are very likely to impair your subsequent functioning, and spread out into your surroundings, by way of contaminating your intentional actions with paradox (not the fun kind, either.)

I would generally suggest avoiding Russian literature entirely, especially if you're a programmer. Unless you've somehow made yourself basilisk-proof (and note that the reverse Algernon method won't work, their whole deal's bootstrapped)

EDIT:

OP says:

Try applying the scientific method to define the psychology of the criminal. You will end up writing and sending a questionnaire, then publishing a paper in Science of how 80% of respondents (n=12) selected option A in the questionnaire. Try even finding 12 criminals willing to reply honestly to your questionnaire. Then ask yourself why social science papers don't replicate.

Now imagine a society with institutions that have the knowledge of how to force their way through the above issue, and decide for yourself whether you really wish to integrate any intellectual outputs from that society in your decision making process.
It's like focusing on building very fast transportation through a vacuum (which may eventually work after sinking an absurd amount of money) instead of creating fast train infrastructure which we know is possible and works. It looks like a moonshot but in reality is just a pipe dream and a waste of resources (imo, with today's technology anyway).

The linked video seems like most comedy - optimized for laughs instead of describing reality, I don't think it is relevant.
The article says that there may be other domains that it didn't catch because it wasn't the first result in google or the company has the server on a different domain, so it's likely a slight undercount.

That 417 is probably low. It’s hard to prove that nobody in a giant organization is using some tool, but conversely that undercuts the such statistics. If say 0.01% of Walmart’s employees are using X because of a recent acquisition then that’s hardly an endorsement of X by Walmart.

How many people really run a JavaScript web server? Most of us who are doing front end work are using a lot of node.is code as part of the build process but I think most of us are using some other platform for the server.

It is not so fashionable to talk about but everywhere I have worked since 2007 or so decade (consumer-oriented startups, enterprise-oriented startups, more staid organizations) has used either the JVM or .NET as a back end.

Well if you're familiar with Google Workspace.. you know once you've got email accounts in there then there's a whole lot of user admin you can do?

Azure AD is just Microsoft's version of that directory. The thing is if you use for example Exchange Online, or even just like Microsoft Office licensing, you've now got Azure AD where the users have accounts. Then I see businesses spend a fortune to integrate Okta or similar products that don't actually add anything given how feature full Azure AD is at this point.
Sorry for being a little off topic: I think that Lisp languages are long lived because of how the code looks visually. Because of needing to use deep learning in most things I do, I need to use Python more often than I would like. It makes me happy looking at Lisp code in my editor, not so much Python code.

Some friends of the family have been buying expensive top-of-the-line MTBs for decades. They said the first thing they do when they buy a new bike is go to the store and pick up a couple of spray cans with suitably horrible colors, and then spray paint the bike until it looks totally janky.

Worked for them so far, none of their bikes have been stolen.

Nothing about this looks great. Margins and Paddings feel "off". Heading 6 is too small to read comfortably on desktop (even worse on mobile). The text font is too thin and the entire site feels tiring to read in contrast with the white background. The entire content column is only 600 pixels wide on my 1080p monitor, so you'd need to scroll a lot for long texts. It's also weirdly off-center.

This entire idea is about size first and second, accessibility and look go dead last.

There is no advantage to using 58 bytes only. Just use 14KB if you care that much, which is the size the first 10 TCP packets that your server sends to the client before the first ACK anyway [1].

Excellent. It’s more general than mathematics, their problem is with a Platonic worldview of idealized models. Those people mistake the models for the real world and that’s their demise.

I know how we feel about the Microsoft Death Star consuming all in its path, but there are some upsides to statistics like this.

For instance, we are a B2B software vendor in the banking space, and we have to survive all kinds of audits regarding the nature of our code & vendors. By keeping nearly all of our 3rd party items under the Microsoft umbrella, we can automagically skip over vast chunks of our due diligence process (according to the mutual trust equation).

None of our customers is F500 (so far), but we have yet to encounter one who didn't already have AAD, or a willingness to set this up. From a product development perspective, we really prefer having a few known-good ways to do things. Authentication & authorization is one area that I strongly dislike having a large variety of flavors on. Especially considering the nature of our business and ever-increasing demands for complex MFA flows (e.g. SAML). There's been so many fly-by-night operations in this space, and our customers do not have patience for trying new things.
This is one of the best pieces of startup thought out there recently. So I had to dig a little, and found out it's by the creator of Teamflow, which the last team I was a part of (in the UK) used and was amazing. Not surprised.
Microsoft is traditionally great at bundling their products. This is reminiscent of bundling Internet Explorer with Windows.

Could an Okta have a claim against Microsoft similar to Netscape in the late 90's?
This is kind of how I've grown to feel about modern software development. I used to resent that my career took me down a path that albeit technical, was not what I enjoyed to do: programming. However, while still trying to somewhat keep up with things on my personal projects and tools, I'm constantly taking new Udemy courses etc for a new stack, or to get updated on how a framework now works from the last time I used it.

It was a powerful time when I could pull up Notepad++ and start hacking away a CRUD app in PHP and be confident it would run with minimal rework and minimal reference outside of typing php.net/<function_name>
I worked in Google Workspace.

A CIO needs to see significant upside in choosing a non Microsoft solution to take the risk of not going with on-prem /cloud AD.

Very few enterprises, this is an understatement, use Workspace exclusively.

They need Active Directory Domain Services (on-prem AD) regardless and it is their source of truth (typically syncing to Workdpace for users/roles). The tooling and expertise is in AD. Azure AD will always have a better on-prem to cloud story than Workspace (or any competitor). Plus their licensing makes it a no brainer. It’s a very strong moat.

What does TIBCO do? Well, I know their product WebFocus, curious if anyone else here uses it. It's basically an online platform for making charts, dashboards, scheduling data extracts for clients, etc. I'm in the healthcare domain, we use WebFocus to power a bunch of clinicians' products.

I will say, I think the product's technical underpinning is not ideal. Instead of just using SQL, they have a proprietary language built in which has similarities to SQL but is much less easy to read and use. For instance a lot is stored in Metadata tables that are many clicks away from the report they're referencing. Also, there are a few cryptic keywords and things specific to WebFocus, which is obviously not that widely used and doesn't have many S.O. posts about it. So you're left staring at some various mysterious keywords or specific-syntax and thinking, do I learn anything more about this than what I need to, since this product is probably not going to last and will end up in the dust-bin like many other proprietary products. And it's just not a very employable skill like SQL.

Overall, I don't like WebFocus, I think Tableau must be a couple notches better. But hey, my org is under-staffed and we don't have the manpower to change systems, so we're stuck with this.

I already use gpt3 in my daily life to refine details for things I'm building for work, and to advance personal goals. If you give AI all the pertinent requirements, it's great at coming up with solutions. That's despite the fact these early language models are optimized for coherency and not correctness. So I wouldn't think we're too far off from waking you up.

Apple managed to raise the price of everything they sell compared to their competitors by raising the bar for quality. They could do this to software too.

For me seeing an iPhone game priced at $20 or more is making me more likely to try it, not less. What stops many people from playing mobile games is time and quality tolerance, not money.
This looks nice. I might try it out.

One nitpick, the .git directory is rather large and probably needs some attention as it is 129MB. The tests directory also has a bit of photo content. Perhaps this could be stored outside of git somehow? Excluding those directories the repository would be less than 11MB.

For me, it's a natural consequence of filling a box line-wise vertically from top to bottom. If you want to use the sheet layout variant with 3 columns and boxes of variable height rather than a fixed 3x3 layout, the vertical scheme seems again more natural.

But whoever feels more comfortable with a horizontal scheme should do so.

Nietzsche discusses this at length (the author mentions Jung, but Jung borrowed heavily from Nietzsche in this regard)…

Nietzsche believed that the best decisions weren’t the most rationale ones but the ones that were “life furthering.”

However he believed rationality is preferable to idealism. Therefore, best to first deal with reality, learn rationality, then make decisions with your feet on the ground

I've read similar missives like this before, and I've always felt that they are at least somewhat of a strawman. The primary feature I always have associated with paleo is no processed carbs. That is, no flour or sugar. But certainly things like fruit and root vegetables are always fine, and encouraged.

Yes, some paleo adherents make it very meat heavy, and others combine paleo with low carb generally. But when I see articles like this saying "All paleo people think about is meat, meat, meat", I feel like they're arguing against some very limited, specific version of paleo that is not the norm.

I do feel they make a good point about honey, though.
Basic common sense says the site has poor visual hierarchy. These links in the past several posts have been to highlight that the common sense understanding is that it has poor visual hierarchy.

The basic scrutiny agrees with me, and the sources are to help provide both subjective and objective reference that shows that, yes, the common person would prefer a more structured layout.
The war of the liberal vs the conservative rages on.
