AirPods aren’t that seamless for me. The switching between phone and MacBook is pretty good, but there is still an element of randomness if the phone will connect to the AirPods or not.

Add in a few more switches such as in the car or a Bluetooth speaker and the article rings true for me.
There's journalism and there's "journalism". There's certainly standup publications with great authors who make names for themselves by writing great articles. I've been really enjoying Heather Knight's coverage of public waste/corruption in SF for example. On the other hand, there's a lot of really crappy journalists who churn out top 10 lists on shady publications to get paid and desperately need that blue check to add whatever legitimacy they can grasp for to their names. The former category will have no trouble without Twitter, the latter will struggle. That's the steelman anyway. Most crappy journalists would flame out with or without a blue checkmark though.

Phone calls should have a subject line, just like emails.

It’s crazy that anyone can force a full-screen interrupt on my personal device with no context. If call metadata included a subject line, software could automatically screen out calls where the subject is empty or spammy, just like with email.

It would be very helpful for missed calls. “Why did my wife call twice in the last 5 minutes, did something happen, should I panic?!” It also removes the need to leave rambling voicemail.

The subject line takes only 15 seconds to write but will significantly reduce receiver anxiety, both synchronously and asynchronously. Sending a text after the call is not the same because it’s not in context.

I remember proposing this to WhatsApp while I was working at FB but the WhatsApp culture seemed uninterested in feature ideas of any kind. Hopefully someone else does it eventually.
> you are really clueless about 10x programming.

It's not particularly constructive to presume that someone who disagrees with you is "clueless". Just to reiterate, I think that it is absolutely true that some people have extremely high value in organizations. The obvious question is whether they have extremely high value above replacement. You've yet to present any so called "proof" of this.

> MapReduce was a revolutionary paper which allowed Google to scale using cheap hard-drives and compute instead of paying Oracle licenses. If you can't understand the impact of that paper during early days of Google to what it became

Sure. I do, however fail to see how this relates to whatever broader point you are trying to make, which still eludes me.

> You are clearly a 1x, 9-5, LeetCode, TC chasing programmer and not Jeff.

At least two of these are untrue, but yes, I'm proud to maintain work-life balance? I guess you got me.

Ah, I'm being trolled.

According to The Guardian, there are about 400,000 verified users on Twitter, as of 2021. That equates to less than 1% of Twitter accounts.

Assuming a 100% conversion rate and that number is accurate, 3.2 million a month or $38 a million a year.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, you have to factor in the fact that room/board is included in the military and it certainly isn't in Seattle. That's probably around a minus 8/hr for the Dick's job.
My golden rules to make videoconferencing more reliable :

- Use ethernet. Wi-Fi isn't reliable, your neighbor's microwave can ruin everything.
- Use wired headphones. 0 latency. 0 connection time. And disables the mic noise-cancelling algos.
- Use classic phone calls when required. It's more robust and latency is even better.
Not sure if it’s because I have a big head or mumble but nobody can hear me clearly on AirPods. It’s fine with wired headphones where I tend to hold the mic in position more. It’s annoying because AirPods are great apart from that.

I like css-in-js, but it's not the only way of creating isolated styles. CSS-Modules solves it by generating hashed classnames from css-files. Tailwind has global classes, but the styling of each element is local.
I am trying to replace most electric tools with hand-cranked cordless tools and I am especially excited to find a barely used 40 y/o tool where I know that it will last me easily another 40 years.

My battery-powered drill stays with me though, as it is just too helpful.

The pay is 7 days a week, 8 hours a day for the salary portion. Saturday & Sunday are all overtime hours at time and a half. Weekdays are typically 11 hours, so three hours per day at time and a half.

I use a tiling window manager and usually have 2 to 4 "spaces" on a 32 inch screen.

With pycharm I often split at least two panes vertically sometimes more if necessary. Depending on what I do I also have firefox open on the same virtual desktop to have documentation and code side by side.

If I were YouTube right now, I'd be evaluating the opportunity to eat Twitter's lunch as it'll get distracted by a randomizing new owner. The YouTube posts product really isn't relevant in the current YouTube app, but as a separate experience focused on posts, it might have some value for non-creators on the platform. Bad as it is, YouTube has more of its act together than Twitter when it comes to designing and enforcing content moderation policies at scale.
That's (a) hard to believe and (b) in the minority if true. I think this stuff works so poorly all the time that some get accustomed to it or some are just lucky. I had it happen on my desktop computer and the monitor's audio today because the audio device got confused after a Remote Desktop session. There wasn't even a wireless connection involved. I had to run to get wired headphones.

If anything, in my experience, it is service providers' cell coverage and cell reception on phones barely designed to be phones that are all so abysmal that it doesn't even matter if everything else works well. They alone make cellphones terrible as phones when on cellular.

And in general, BlueTooth sucks. I need to do an incantation to keep my PS4 controllers connected, a problem reported by many in various forums.
Oh, I thought it would be something more... interesting.

I have a voice that does not match most people's associations with my name, so the first minute of every phone call is spent explaining myself (sometimes it feels more like justifying). I've been mistaken for phishing attacks and got hung up on a few times too.

This is about local connection problems, audio device with your phone:

>Hello? … Wait, hello? Can you hear me? Okay, hold on. Ugh. Okay, okay, just a second. I have to get my earphones to connect. Damn it. Okay, never mind, I’ll just hold it up to my head. Hi, ugh, sorry about that.

I can confirm this. However, there is another class of problems, too, which aren't mentioned. Network problems. It is the year 2022 and still in many areas reception is really lousy. I need to hang up and call people again constantly.

It is not really better with FaceTime Audio or any other VOIP tech. It completely sucks! I want to connect instantly and then have a stable connection for at least 30min with crystal clear audio. Am I asking too much for 2022??
Both of those news outlets you mentioned are paywalled so that you cannot read even one article for free at a time like they used to. Meanwhile, over at Fox news, all articles are free and open. Without passing judgment on their respective content, this simple distinction shows the difference. Paywalling theoretically should have raised the quality by providing more income and perhaps it has. But that content is unavailable to the vast majority of casual readers.

> "the UN" had done a lot of reports related to the Angloamerican propaganda in the past as well, and the results of each precisely reflected the agenda of whichever country was leading that particular commission at that given moment. This includes all the 'genocides' attributed to the enemies of the US.

Once again you say a lot with no proof, it’s easy to write paragraphs of nothingness that backup whatever propaganda you are trying to push or believe, it’s much harder to do it with an actual credible source.

> So, sorry, but I shall pass that as a source as well.

> Neither do I see a source in your response.

Did you miss the url I posted to the report?. Or are you simply dismissing anything that doesn’t fit the narrative you are trying to push?.

But regardless you haven’t posted any source for any of your claims and continue to write paragraph long replies with no evidence of anything.
The pain point here is something like .home.arpa, which is nominally the recommended domain to use for home networks (not .local to avoid conflicts with mDNS IIRC).

There's still no good solution if you're using a domain that's not valid on the net. LE's lookup has to be able to reach the DNS server for the domain. I think it's something the industry as a whole has failed at - ensuring even LAN devices have good security without doing things like "your home network must have a publicly resolveable domain" or "run your own CA".

I agree, this far more profound than CGI. Ultimately I think this tech will be seen as allowing the exploration of all possible worlds. When the AI can generate convincing representations of anything we can think of and things we could never dream of - then what we are really looking at is a kind of inter-dimensional craft that can take us between realities.
The current stereotype for this is the peppy young salesperson having "this exact model at home".

No, since it's not a derived work.

And if you can come up with a model that can reproduce images exactly without first getting trained on them, it wouldn't be a derived work, either.

Just yesterday I received spam call, my only response was answering with "Yes?", then when they started to talk about something I just hang up without a word, they wasted enough of my time and energy. Private matter I communicate 100% through IM or video calls within IM, it must be very rare ocassion that my retired father calls me on the phone or that I have to call wife because she is not responding to IM.
Read some of quotes in this post and perhaps that will help you decide whether he is a genius or not.

"Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction.

He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy.

He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years."

Kevin Watson - chief of avionics at Launcher

Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so.

John Carmack

When I met Elon it was apparent to me that although he had a scientific mind and he understood scientific principles, he did not know anything about rockets. Nothing. That was in 2001. By 2007 he knew everything about rockets - he really knew everything, in detail. You have to put some serious study in to know as much about rockets as he knows now. This doesn't come just from hanging out with people.

> Copyright exists to incentivize authors

It's ideas (memes) copying themselves, making variations, evolving. Until now ideas could only jump from human to human, intermediated by various media. Now they can be unified and distilled into a model, a more efficient medium of replication for ideas, and more helpful in general because it can be adapted to new situations on the fly.

You say you're welcoming to all. But that isn't true, because you refuse access to anyone who doesn't agree to these rules. And a subtantial fraction of people would not agree to them, as you well know, regardless of whether they would ever break them.

That you got them from somewhere else doesn't head off uncertainty in their interpretation. It does raise the possibility that they're a bit of groupthink spreading through the open source software scene, versus something your group believes in enough to have indpendently developed. Historically such things tend to function more as shibboleths than meaningful exercises and I suspect that's the case here.
"This new advancement is intended for good but might also be used for evil" – this statement describes every invention in history, perhaps going back to the first time a prehistoric human used a rock to crack open a nut. Had online journalism existed back then I'd wager there would have been a "should we be messing with rocks?" article soon after.

Yes there are dangers in changing asteroid orbits. Yes we should be careful. But the argument that we should stop all progress towards diverting extinction-level threats to the planet because a nation might theoretically toss an asteroid at another one day is absurd.

>Why would anyone in their right mind choose to put effort into creating original art if there is "one easy trick" to get around copyright by simply turning their art into a model that can be used to churn out things they could have produced?

Why do some artists still paint on canvas instead of using photoshop or krita, where you can easily ctrl+z any mistake, never need to mix any paint, can move layers up and down, etc. etc. etc.?

Why do some photographers still shoot anything smaller than large format with film when medium format and full frame digital cameras exist?

Why do some people still use analog synths when Native Instrument's Komplete exists?

Why do some guitarists still use amplifiers when they could use an AxeFx/Kemper/Neural DSP?

Most of those options are also more expensive, on top of being more inefficient/difficult/generally burdensome, yet people still do them.

People do a lot of things that are not necessarily the most efficient way to do something. They like the minor differences, or enjoy the process, or many other things.

I also don't see how SD and similar get around copyright. Even if training these models on copyrighted images is legal, that doesn't mean that the output they produce necessarily is. It doesn't matter how I create a depiction of Iron Man, be it SD or a paintbrush and canvas, I do not have the rights to reproduce him. And for things that can't be protected by copyright, such as style, I am not hindered by it no matter if it is created with SD or colored pencils on a sketchpad.
Yeah, but new old people bring their habits from younger years like not using phone for making private calls.

"It would be very helpful for missed calls. “Why did my wife call twice in the last 5 minutes, did something happen, should I panic?!” It also removes the need to leave rambling voicemail."

Well, what is stopping your wife from also texting you, if it was something important and she did not reach you? And what would force her, to use a potential subject line?

Otherwise it is an interesting idea, but I doubt it will be a killer feature, as most would simply ignore it.
