Hey just wanted to say that I really appreciate this comment and it's an opinion I haven't seen shared before even though in hindsight it's obvious.

I personally have chosen not to have kids - one reason is doomer level but the other is time and independence. I have a dog that is a relatively (to kids) minor responsibility but in my day to day life feels like the biggest responsibility, I compare that to having a kid which I would say is a lot more and I wouldn't want to take on as I've already experienced a dog and that is as far as I'd go. But while you haven't changed my mind, you have negated a lot of my feelings towards a previously thought "lifelong responsibility"
I found I enjoyed the process of putting together a mall from a blueprint, but leaving the rest of the factory up to me. I find the logistics and planning part of factorio more interesting than the "build up all the parts you need to make the factory" part.

That’s because apple hasn’t introduced any major new features to the ipad pro hardware since then. A 4 year old iphone is also just as future-proof but it doesn’t feel like that since they’ve added many new features to later models.
My guess is that for one, it's very hard to study this in it's natural environment in a consistent. Plus you would need a release document pages long and even then it might not keep the lawyers away. Further, the organ itself is very different from subject to subject; it's not just the tip of the iceberg. Lot's of downside, not much upside.

> if they recognize the mistake

what if they don't think it was any mistake and was just an honest job?

> can you imagine? Do you know someone like that?

Yes, personally know someone at Google in that space who worked on multiple chat apps and nicely climbed the career ladder.
Sony managed to do VR at scale properly many years ago for their PlayStation

The fact that a trillion dollar company failed is insane to me, this plus the poor reception of the Hololens by the army.. there is something that's not working at the HW/R&D microsoft divisions

Just insane, whoever is managing these teams should step down, laying off 1k people every once in a while won't change anything if that's to repeat the same mistakes with the same execs
When I imagine taking kids to the park, or camping or reading to them, or playing with them it just seems like a chore. Is that something that magically becomes different if it's _your_ kid?

Yes, of course. It’s not likely magic, more millions of years of evolutionary biology.

But boy it feels like magic.

(FWIW, I’m also someone who enjoys long stretches of alone time. Still get to do it, if somewhat less frequently. Still enjoy it.)

> Is Rust such a straight-forward language that people new to the language can write a very performant programme

Yes. At least that was my experience coming to Rust from a primarily JavaScript background. My first Rust program wasn't as fast as it could have been (I know a lot more about optimising programs now than I did then), but it was still ~30x faster than the JavaScript and Pythons versions my company had attempted to write first. That's without putting all that much effort into optimising it.
You're confusing "severity" and "infectivity". Increased infectivity is not increased severity. The evidence they have shows reduced severity and an unknown (but theorized increased) infectivity.
It definitely does but not completely. You are probably going to be totally smitten with your kid and spending time with them, even if its something "boring" is going to be really enjoyable. Unfortunately, your kid can sometimes be a brat (or at least mine is sometimes, but I'd guess a lot are!) and then these activities that are good for them can feel like a chore.

I definitely like having my own space and at least with one kid, I'm still getting plenty of it. But the time I spend with her is incredibly rewarding (most of the time ;)
The comment is one more of national policy than nationalistic aspersion.

I don't believe that commenting on the utter failure of national healthcare policy and implementation is a flamewar topic. It's certainly a significant element of this story.

Intelligent people also tend to overrate their own knowledge, which seems to be what you are doing here.
^ and this attitude is _exactly_ why so many companies can't get anything done and why I explicitly pointed out that software developers tend to be smarter than your product people.

So lets be very clear on what I was saying.

software developers can do the job of product, product cannot do the job of software developers

It kills me how many people seem to think the doers are the least important part of it. Gamedev gets this right with the insistence that the idea guy is worthless.

I work as a software architect and I see this all the time.
This isn't surprising, but it's unfortunate -- Apple still hasn't even opened up CoreNFC on the Watch.

I have a custom app for my business which uses NFC, and it's a bummer that iPads, and just about no modern Android tablets have NFC, so while I'd love to use a tablet to do certain tasks, I can't.
Simply saying that other places are a mess(which i agree with) doesn't mean that everything is fine in our camp but even just saying that everything is fine in our camp is a drastically lower bar than "the end of history"

If you had asked rhe author 20 years ago if nuclear threats, global inflation, an urgent climate disaster were compatible with "the end of history" he would have said no.

It might be in the article but I didn't see it. Where's the citation for this statistic?
> Casting mut to &mut in a safe function is unsound, and UB if the result is used alternatingly with an earlier &mut to the save object (I've seen this in a library I tried using). In C++ casting a to a & is sound, and casting a * into a __restrict & might be unsound but restrict is so rarely used that it doesn't matter, whereas safe Rust nearly requires using &mut for mutating through a pointer.

I'm not 100% sure I know what you're trying to say here due to the autoformatting doing a number on your pointers, but if I'm correct, you're unhappy that being able to cast a raw pointer to a reference in Rust is unsafe when casting a pointer to a reference is sound in C++. What do you think should happen if the pointer is null? I don't think this is sound in C++ either; this simple example[1] segfaults for me, and I imagine that it's undefined behavior and that even a segfault isn't guaranteed. In Rust, you can call this method[2] to convert a raw mutable pointer to an Option of a mutable reference, which will contain None if the raw pointer is null. If you absolutely don't want to check that it's null, you can always unwrap that. Yes, `unsafe { foo.as_mut().unwrap() }` is more verbose than `foo as &mut _`, but it doesn't really strike me as controversial that the syntax is being optimized for other uses.

> As for "compile-time memory safety inherently requires some limitations on programming style", I find compile-time lifetime safety to be a tradeoff, and often a net negative in not only performance but ease of programming for low-level code maintained by the same individual preserving a "theory" of the code over time (whereas I don't find compile-time bounds checking or thread safety to be a net negative to programmer experience nearly as often).

I think that's a fair opinion to hold, even though I don't happen to agree with it personally.

> And when I see people on crusades to stop programmers from writing code in unsafe languages (taking away programmers') ability to opt out of this tradeoff, I will stop at nothing to oppose these people.

This is where you lose me. Developing a language with verbose for casting a possibly null pointer to a type that assumes it's not null is worth "stopping at nothing to oppose"? This sounds like you're the one going on a crusade to stop people from using languages you don't like. I don't really see why you'd assume that the people who develop Rust are the same ones who are evangelizing it in a way you don't like, but I guess that it doesn't matter if that's accurate or not if you're going to stop at nothing.

My wife and I are looking to do the same in the next couple years. How has your experience been?

We’re worried they’ll get sick and we won’t be able to help. We’ve tried getting them to come with us but so far no luck.
Yes, absolutely both of those are factors. Walkability is a classic tragedy of the commons.

Which is why it is important and justifiable to occasionally decide collectively to do things that may be perceived as “anti-car”, such as removing (or refusing to build) new car-serving infrastructure such as parking spaces.

I listened to a Hidden Brain podcast recently which told me to try and think of the amount of time we have left with any experience like meeting our parents, visiting X place etc. and it's supposed to make you appreciate the situation more and not to sweat the small stuff.

What you've wrote about time with our parents is sad but in a beautiful way.

Absolutely blown away. As someone with a "design for learning" degree which I've found to be rather useless, I'd gladly have traded by dozens of thousands of dollars for a chance to learn with this guy. The technical sophistication combined with the incredibly didactic and clear flow of his work is truly insane.
Thank you for the detailed feedback pschuegr! Awesome you like it.

Would you prefer the columns to be consistent, vs dynamic based on search? Google web results are always first.

The order of the columns is based on the Google result ranking. The Google results usually trigger the column ranking generally. For example Wikipedia will only show if Google returns Wikipedia in the first 10 results. Same with pushing Instagram order up. So it is trying to show you relevant columns depending on the search. It is only as good as Google is at it.

What is the resolution of your laptop? I can test it to try to see what you see.

Yes it could feel too dense. It is a tradeoff. I could make it more minimal, but less info will show. I'm trying to make it as consistent/uniform/hierarchical as possible to make it feel less busy. It is very different, I am hoping people could get use to it and then like it better... but I may be wrong there.

Or Anathem by Neal Stephenson

They do not just ban AI, but almost all experimental research. All the researchers are isolated in monasteries and only get visited once each decade/century.
You're conflating two different things: (i) toying with DNA/RNA, and (ii) gain of function research into human viruses.

By all means, let's advance DNA/RNA and virus research. But can we carve out a little hole for purposefully making human viruses more deadly? Like: accidentally making human viruses more deadly, OK; purposefully messing with human viruses but not making them more deadly, OK; purposefully making mouse viruses more deadly OK; purposefully making human viruses more deadly NOT OK? How is this a big ask, when lab leaks are a thing?

The Wuhan lab was doing gain of function research into Coronaviruses. Isn't that exactly what should have been helpful for Covid, if gain of function research is ever helpful for anything? But so far as I've heard, the Wuhan research didn't help with Covid at all.

So kinda funny to use "saving lives from Covid" as an example of gain of function research being useful when (i) Covid itself may have been caused by gain of function research, and (ii) so far as I've heard gain of function research hasn't helped with vaccinations at all (please correct me if I'm wrong on this).

I really struggle to find a use case for the iPad over my Macbook Pro from 2014.

- It sits on my lap with the screen sitting upright without the need for a case to sit it upright
- I prefer using a keyboard over a touch screen for desktop like applications and browsing
- The trackpad being on my lap or directly in front of me is more ergonomically friendly than having to reach forward to touch the screen

If I was to need to buy another laptop, it would be another Macbook over an iPad.
Agreed. I always say getting married means the previous phase of your life is now over. Thats not a statement on better or worse, its just that you've now transitioned to another phase. Its the same with kids. Pre-kid life is now over. This is a new, different phase.

I wouldn’t be so confident. Big tech is diffused. If a company like Netflix can remain focused and steer clear of tribal commotions they can stay in the fight for a long time.
It's not hostile, just a simple statement of fact.

These product teams aren't interested in collaboration, that's part of the point. A strong software developer can do products job better than they themselves can do it, but they get treated like code monkeys.
It depends on what you're planning to do with these notes.

For me notebooks go straight to paper recycling after a while, the space and burden is just too much. Anything I intend to last any devent amount of time is digitized, and scanning notebooks is a PITA.
My compute intensive tablet activities involves a cheap chromebook duet remote desktopping into an actual desktop already efficiently setup for my workflows. I'd rather wait for reliable remote work solutions / infra than try to cope with subpar workflows.

Would you trust someone new to C++ to use these properly? The great thing about Rust is that you get all this and more (Rust's static checks are a lot more watertight) right out of the box without any configuration.
To the people responding to this saying that "expiry is mandatory", you're missing a key aspect: expiry is mandatory for uncontrolled secrets.

Passwords and API Keys are uncontrolled. Once they've leaked, they're "out there", and you can't know where they've been copied, stored, and who has them. There is no central, authoritative list of "currently held credentials". They're literally "bearer tokens", like cash-in-hand versus something held in an account that's recorded on a ledger.

This makes password-like credentials inherently risky, so people work around these issues by:

- Restricting network access

- Restricting the time for which they are valid

- Restricting who can get any access at all.

These restrictions then "get in the way", even for legitimate use. Network access restriction mean that everyone has to be on the VPN. I mean the VPN, because you can't be on two VPNs (in general). This limits business activities such as querying across federated systems. All "access control" now involves the network team. The guys "running cables" have to be involved in database access!

Time restrictions mean that as things expire, they break. One year expiry is just long enough that people have moved on from their six-month contracts, and the new guy has no idea why everything went down at 4:55pm on a Friday. Sure, you can automate the rotation away, but then the automation system itself inherits the same security boundary as the tokens it is managing. You can't automate your way out of this, because then it becomes turtles all the way down.[1]

Restricting who can get any access at all because of the legitimate fear that they will leak their API keys hampers productivity. If developers can't be trusted not to copy-paste keys into their code[2], then they won't be given keys at all. This limits what they can do. Similarly, even read-only access will be restricted, so you end up with systems where data is copied over-and-over into other systems because direct access "wasn't an option".

Generally my advice to architects and developers is to avoid passwords or API Keys like the plague. Use something like Azure Active Directory with managed user identities, which allow "secretless" access. This access is also self-documenting, with a central authority tracking who has access. You can't "copy" a managed identity or "run off with it". There is no way to paste one of these into Git, or leave it on a laptop that is being disposed of.

[1] One particularly problematic security risk with things like GitHub PATs is due to GitHub Actions. Previously, Git was "just code", posing only a slightly greater risk than documentation. Now, it's managing deployments of apps, and their secrets, making it super dangerous to give anyone access to the repo! There have been several major breaches because of this.

[2] In the last year or so working with over a dozen developers moving into cloud apps, I observed literally every single one of them pasting API Keys or similar secrets directly into the code and then checking that in to Git.
With occupational safety, just like anything else, you can hire professionals and set whatever objectives and deadlines your budget allows. Companies that embrace it get much better and faster results than companies that resist it.
What app are you using that runs poorly on the 11”?
You answered yourself in the last sentence. Google's algorithm is designed to maximize their add return not to immediately return what you are searching for.

Imagine this use case. User searches for a video that costs Youtube royalty fees and is not monetized. Do you prioritize that in your return results or some other video that makes your business money instead of costing it?

Same thing with the Spotify Company playlists and recommendations versus user generated ones. Spotify's seems to include lesser quality, lower royalty songs now even though that is not what I want and it knows it. But unlike Google, I only go to Spotify BECAUSE of the quality of the songs it recommends me. Now that it's priority is first lower royalty songs over songs it things I would like the most I have no incentive to stay.
> an intelligent life might have developed a different biological system

One theory is that some intelligences evolved the opposite to us. They started in pure silicon form and developed super-intelligence in the early stages and didn't evolve from carbon. They were /born/ computers and evolved from there into hyper-intelligence capable of exploring galaxies with Von Neumann probes[0]

> If you're just buying a music player or an office suite for a common file format, what you use doesn't really matter to anyone else, and their choices to you.

The question of how many people use any given physical product, such as music players, certainly matters to supply chain executives and factory managers at the very least.

Because the same network effects applies to manufactured products, notably in economics of scale.

More generally, it's true that KakaoTalk benefits from network effects, but Facebook Korea could have benefited from the same.

It's just that a homegrown Korean chat app is viable against Facebook Korea because the entry bar is lower, whereas a homegrown Korean iPod would have been laughable against Apple, even in Korea.

There's very few people that would have paid 5x more for an all Korean iPod, but most are fine with being slightly inconvenient by Kakao's smaller international userbase.
At the last job i actually went into an office for, I ended up biking because it was faster, the parking situation was so bad circling the lot and the neighborhood for a spot was just maddening.

Riding my bike the few miles ended up being shorter time door to desk.

Saudi Arabia is officially an ally of the US.
For the first one I already told you that I tried demonstrating that you don't necessarily need a hidden variable or supernatural for consciousness. I didn't offer exhaustive proof, but I linked a paper, and that paper is built on solving Maxwell's demon. Maxwell's demon used to provoke a substantial debate on the philosophy of science, until it was solved, and solved experimentally later. Reality is strange, but there is a way to figure it out.

For the second one my ego is not especially involved in this one, neither of us is an expert here, so the stakes are not high. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but you haven't been able to provide a coherent debate. I was curious about your argument, but you never really presented more than your default opinion, that there is more to reality than physical reality, namely metaphysical reality. You think that a thought or belief is not entirely physical, but there is nothing to suggest that. In fact the very existence of software elegantly demonstrates how seemingly metaphysical things are part of the physical reality. You wouldn't be able to find a red door in a video game with a microscope inside your computer either, it's still part of our physical reality. Computers keep advancing in their ability to see, hear and think, and yet nothing suggests that you would need anything, but physical reality to accomplish this.
