> It's not as if the business walks away because their AE isn't there anymore.

They absolutely will. Media buyers for the gigantic companies expect to be wined and dined very aggressively. Early in my career I worked for an agency that had a couple truly massive EU companies as clients. You know these names. I saw first hand that the personal charisma and relationship of the agency owner was the only reason those execs kept coming back. And he went to very great lengths to stroke their egos.

With buyers that big, there's always another agency. So as soon as the buyer doesn't like something, buh bye.
As a fluent Russian speaker I consider this a great article about what is happening in Russia.
What you describe is the natural outcome of having a single message loop with synchronous handlers, and describes e.g. Win32 just as well - a sequence of keys would simply end up as the corresponding sequence of window messages in the queue, and processed in order.

Where we partially lost that is when UX started to get async. It's not fundamentally incompatible with well-ordered input messages, but in practice, people who write async code all too often forget that it's async all the way (and not just for their favorite scenario). And so you get travesties such as textboxes that let you type text into them, and then erase all that when the app or the page is "fully loaded".

Oddly enough, I never met any of the coders. The entire code base turned up on mag tapes from Belmont, CA. I was working in Toronto. I was very much a newbie, so I didn't form an educated opinion on code quality. There were very few bugs, I do remember that.

There was a lot of code, about 1.5 million lines over two version of Oracle, which included a bunch of applications as well as the RDMS.
Anytime you compare things anecdotally to people you know be verrry careful. It’s easy to not be comparing apples to apples. Do those people have kids? Rent vs own? How nice of cars? Commute? Sq footage of house? Etc etc. for example, I don’t work for FANG and you probably haven’t heard of my employer, but out of ~300k TC I save 48k cash + 100k stock + ~20k 401k retirement, which I think is pretty good. Tell me if you think I could do better in EU. . And while I live in suburbs of HCOL area, I’m fully remote so could move and save even more. Also remember if you own your house the money is usually not being drained it’s building into an equity nest egg. So at the end of the day the HCOL person will have more wealth even if they have to sell a house and move to use it; that arrow only goes one way (LCOL can’t sell and move to HCOL area and come out ahead).

>TikTok is most likely to become the first mega app

Why is this likely? Seems like it just does one thing well, and even that one thing now has serious competition from Youtube shorts (which are kinda better). Plus it's not cool anymore. Facebook seems to want to be a mega app but no one cares and it's just not happening because Facebook is a dinosaur.

Twitter very likely won't become Elon's X app, but I think TikTok is even less likely.

I don't say that the candidate has to be the first to name a number, just that they can. In fact, in most negotiations the results ends up closest to the first number named, so candidates should be happy to name the first number.
Imo what's really missing is a kind of consciousness, or something to drive the system. If gpt3 could be adapted to run over some internal state instead of just a chat log, and came with some system that updated it (and that state stayed internally consistent), I'd be more inclined to believe it was closer to general intelligence.
Having tabs in the file explorer (and split view) puts the experience above windows. I could see normals loving those features.
Absolutely.

My only note it is that isn’t 40 years. For SV it’s more like 60 years (going back to the founding of Fairchild) or even longer if you want to go back as far as HP and other radio shops.

For NYC, it’s even longer. IBM has had a major NYC presence since at least the 30s (and obviously its main HQ is less than 40 miles from midtown)! Bell Labs/AT&T was based in Manhattan before moving to New Jersey and obviously is still in the NYC are. And that goes back to the 20s I think.

Not to mention other NYC and NYC adjacent companies like GE. So we’re going back 100 years or more for NYC and 80 for SV.

Xerox’s history combines both areas.

And as you said, Texas has a strong history too with the Motorola stuff and Silicon Prairie.

Historically speaking, Seattle is a relatively new entrant in computing and innovation, only really being a hub for 40 years or so (unless you count Boeing and then it back over 100 years), but is the home of two of the biggest companies of the last 50 years, Microsoft and Amazon.

Dozens and dozens of cities all over the world have tried to be the Silicon Valley of X and none have succeeded. And New York is extremely unique as a global center in dozens of different industries from finance to media to fashion to the arts.

Obviously things could be disrupted. But both of these areas have been innovation hubs for over 100 years, which given the short history of this country, is remarkable.

Please see the article itself. One that really resonates with me now is "putting a child to sleep" - that at often is one of the most trying things I do these days.

What often gives a clue that the child has slept is a slight change in muscle tone, or a sigh, perhaps the pace at which the baby sucks its thumb. How can that be translated into words?

You aren't taking the analogy far enough. That fish doesn't have a prefrontal cortex, and can't even comprehend what we are capable of or capable of perceiving. Whatever more advanced being that us would have perception and experience that we aren't capable of comprehending. They would do whatever they do that we are incapable of just as the fish is incapable of human-level creation.
Modern web culture is very much the problem. The tech can be keyboard-friendly, sure... but in practice, even the most basic stuff, like Enter to submit forms, is often not working because the "Submit" button is not a proper button, but a bunch of JS.
This is because of exhaustiveness checking in match statements, so it applies to many more languages than Rust: most modern languages have match statements whose pattern can be tuples and literals.

Whole Systems Design – The Resilient Homestead
You still seem to be labouring under the misconception that risk is about prevalence. If that were true then you wouldn't wear a seatbelt, as I'm willing to bet that you've never needed one.

Risk is the chance of something occurring combined with the effect of that thing occurring.

Hence, a one off but life threatening event may be considered high risk, so it doesn't really matter if false accusations are incredibly rare or not if the damage that flows from them is severe.

For example[1], a trainee lawyer accused her boyfriend of repeatedly raping her, imprisoning her, and violently abusing her to the point of making her miscarry. The reality was that she needed an excuse for failing her legal exams. When he was put into prison on remand - he hadn't even gone to trial yet - an officer spread a rumour that he was a paedophile, to which the other prisoners reacted as you might expect, by attacking him. He was then moved onto a wing with rapists and murderers. He called it "your worst nightmare come true".

Why is this a risk that anyone should ignore? The FBI has said[2]:

> As with all other Crime Index offenses, complaints of forcible rape made to law enforcement agencies are sometimes found to be false or baseless. In such cases, law enforcement agencies “unfound” the offenses and exclude them from crime counts. The “unfounded” rate, or percentage of complaints determined through investigation to be false, is higher for forc-ible rape than for any other Index crime. Eight percent of forcible rape complaints in 1996 were “unfounded,” while the average for all Index crimes was 2 percent.

8% seems a fair amount higher than what I'd call "incredibly rare", especially given it's 4 times higher than for other types of crime.

Systemd is without doubt one of the most important items of software on a modern Linux today, except perhaps for the Linux kernel itself. It turned the mess of shell scripts and other crap into the rock-solid, foundational system services layer we enjoy nowadays. If we do ever get the year of the Linux Desktop, we will have to thank the authors of systemd for giving us a bedrock of delight to build upon.

> We already have AI based agents that do this

Example?

> but no matter how sophisticated they are people can always claim they are hardwired and deterministic, while not realizing we can always claim the same thing about humans.

Humans are certainly not "hardwired" to prove mathematical statements, yet they do. That's not comparable to self-driving cars that are able to navigate in situations that they haven't encountered before.

Regardless of whether you consider consciousness a philosophical concept, it's clear that the human mind has a property that the current generation of AI agents does not emulate at all. This is not a "word game" but an observable distinction between humans and every existing artificial system.

Yep, 'speed runs' are all about optimizing whatever you can optimize and are mostly single-player.

The only real distinction between single-player games and multiplayer games in this manor is that in single-player games players can choose the 'category' they are currently playing, whereas in multiplayer it is chosen for them. This let's them pick the categories with environments that are most fun optimized which is where the hilarity comes.
In the original code, actually, no, incrementing "to" was not desired. The "to" was pointing to a hardware memory-mapped register, and it needed to copy to the same memory location each time.

Yes, so why did they do it? I guess it depends on the type of job and company. In this case it sounds like they didn't have the budget or wisdom to hire a high performer but we're trying to net one through trickery. There will always be bad actors. A salary range wouldn't stop this as they could do the same by baiting you at the top of the range and switching to the lower end.

I highly highly doubt this. TikTok was a new idea and targeted young people. It has no brand value or widespread cultural support for it to be able to expand into other types of social media.

Pretty much every TikTok creator hates the monetization and many are shifting focus to YouTube.

It's ordinary use is the one I'm complaining about. It's a slur that implies irrational hatred, disgust and fear - that is a mental illness, hence why phobia is appended to the objects of fear.

There's a reason such a misnomer is used, and there's a reason why those using it such as yourself, seem to overlook its utterly mistaken connotations.

> Humans are certainly not "hardwired" to prove mathematical statements, yet they do.

Umm... yeah we are? We're just chemical reactions and physics, there is no escaping that. Are we extremely sophisticated and complex, absolutely but that doesn't make us nondeterministic in any meaningful or special way.

> it's clear that the human mind has a property that the current generation of AI agents does not emulate at all

Certainly but it is a matter of degree, not a matter of possessing an ill-defined concept like "consciousness" which is what I was responding to (Unless we want to call "consciousness" an emergent phenomena arising from complexity -I'm fine with that - but the word is loaded with plenty of other connotations so I find its use counterproductive personally).

Instagram is practically anti-text. The app doesn't linkify URs because they don't want users to escape the app. Users worked around this with "see link in bio" to access Linktree pages. The app won't even let users select text in posts because they might copy a URL and escape the app.

The problem is that these kinds of strategies are boring to watch, have little counter play, and only interesting the first time around — as soon as it enters the meta, it’s just boring. In this case it’d probably be fine, but if you spent two minutes doing it? It’d be awful.
