Multiplayer VR games are part of the metaverse… the metaverse is just XR with a network connection over the internet. That’s all it is which one reason I don’t understand all the hate for such a neutral medium from fellow techies

No. That is just some model of AI. I think I should advise following the publicly available MIT course of late Prof. Patrick Winston.

And we would like to know them, for many reasons. Because in some cases what we are looking for is the full solution as opposed to the conclusion; because we do not just trust advice blindly; because it is productive in the very engineering effort...
If you showed this to an advanced alien civilization I think they might consider his life one of enforced torture, if they themselves aren’t already living it.

Elsewhere they reference making updates to the Grafana Agent in the future, but it's hard to say what "scrape profiles" means.

But I really, really like the idea. Often when I want to test the performance of a change I'll launch test and control canary instances with a small percentage of live traffic, run perf against each, collect the data, load it into a local https://profiler.firefox.com/, and try to compare the differences. It would be awesome to automate that process. Beyond that, I often keep notes about the tests but the profiles themselves are a real pain to store and catalogue.
Funny, but thank you. I corrected the title now.
I used to be on Tello and loved it since the Sprint network had the best performance where I lived. Sadly that went away when they merged with T-Mobile, so I switched to Red Pocket since AT&T is second best here. Great prices and good customer service (the few times I've contacted them).
It's a two minute read and completely worth it. Steve Jobs hires a guy who recently oversaw a massive failure. But within the failure he and Ed Catmull saw a guy who could advance Pixar's capabilities and shake people loose from their preconceived notions of "how things are done."

Fits in well with the SiliValley received wisdom that we learn a lot from our failures.
PSVR2 needs additional 500-1000 USD device.
Quest 2 is standalone.
Nothing can avoid the speed-of-light lag, but full-duplex and things have made it certainly better.

It's very noticeable on globe-spanning links (which is where video actually starts to help because you can use the silent visual cues).
This is a good approach, though presumably the VM still has access to your Github credentials (via the browser) and your SSH keys? It'll limit the fallout of getting owned to anything reachable from Github (is it against Github's TOS to have multiple accounts?), less if you have 2FA (does there exist 2FA for SSH keys (I don't mean passphrases)?), but I think it would be better for just my build/run/test cycles to be cordoned off into their own universe, with a way for just the source code itself to cross the boundary.
I give up filesystem taxonomies to end up in org-mode/org-roam managed time-organized notes, with files attached and retrievable in a classic search&narrow UI (org-roam-node-find) with eventual quick search (via counsel-rg on org-roam-directory, where in that case notes are like files metadata) or queries (org-ql on drawes properties and tags who are ensured a bit consistent via templates (org-capture, yasnippet etc).

This extra layer was a game-changer for me, I hesitate for long, but finally switched few years ago and so far prove to be flawlessly. I still miss fancy UI/ML tools, but anything is at my fingertips locally, I can make quick slides if needed directly in org-mode, I can click code-executing links (elisp:), running code blocks (org-babel) and anything is integrated to a level NO ONE modern software can reach due to modern systems archaic, limited and limiting designs.
Idea: Use GPT-3 to identify GPT-3-generated snippets.
It's also laziness and controversy. Unit testing is something aggressively pushed in many of these places, but then they continue to litter side effects, long flows, loads of complex objects, void methods, and more which inherently make it more difficult to test. FP guidelines help a lot of these cases, and you don't need to understand monoids, monads or any of that to grasp the concept of simple functions with clear output.

Meanwhile, FP is kind of a pain to connect things in, for most people.

> You don't need much knowledge to make a circuit board

Not quite.

For most modern high speed designs PCB's are very far from being simple. Signal and power integrity are critical. It doesn't help that these can be "voodoo" fields where, a bit like RF, years of experience as well as the theoretical foundation are really important.

That said, I think I know where you are coming from. A ton of low-performance embedded designs these days can be done by people with very little EE education. Anyone can learn anything online. There are plenty of resources. This is a good thing, of course.
thats pretty harsh. I dont even like TypeScript/JavaScript, but these are some pretty good numbers:

Not according to latest developer survey by Stack Overflow.
I feel almost exactly the same way as you. I've flitted around the research/applied research boundary for ML for the last decade+, so I write plenty of Python. I enjoy the way Python gets out of my way so I can focus on interesting research problems. But the actual act of writing code in C++ is so much more fun, once you get good enough at it that the footguns don't trip you up.

The embedded AI space is a pretty good place to make money writing C++. I was in autonomous vehicles for a bit. It didn't really interrupt my post-Google compensation trajectory, and I got to write performance- and safety-critical C++
Now wait for =deep_dream() or maybe =stable_diffusion() as a graph-generating function! (Graphs plotted with this function will of course zoom in infinitely but the further you go the more eyes and shiba dogs you'll notice in the corners ...)
Well it makes it preferable to some, and really distasteful to others. It's rarely a good idea to make moral judgements on history or international politics. They don't really operate in the realm of morality. To those of us in the USA or west Europe, we have benefited a lot from the US' global power over the last near-century. On the other hand, I am sure China could argue that if the US wasn't as dominant, they could have benefited more. Considering that those two cliques have similar populations, we can't even go with what the majority thinks -- there isn't one.
The really pedestrian explanation is that the Fed just crashes the economy into a wall. It doesn't really have a magic wand, it just creates a recession (and I've definitely argued with people on here who think the Fed has the magical ability to steer us around inflation and recessions without causing any kind of crisis--but I'm old enough to have heard all that about Alan Greenspan back in 1999).

But then to completely switch gears and get even more technical about how raising interest rates results in a slowdown--the higher interest rates immediately raises borrowing costs for stuff like cars and houses and makes them more expensive. But at the same time there's a lot of bad business investment on the margins that rolls over their loans on a 1-2 year period (similar to an ARM on a house). Those loans are going to start refinancing at higher rates. When you look at stuff like the vacancy rate of commercial real estate in SF and Portland, those are going to have loans like this behind them which are only being propped up by low rates. As rates rise, the firms behind those properties risk going bankrupt and the ones at the margins will, which turns into losses for the creditor banks, tightening all kinds of appetite for risk and availability of credit. Those effects wash over the system creating layoffs and reducing demand for goods in a positive feedback loop--things like advertising spends also decline, hitting companies like Google and Meta.

That's the actual cause-and-effect that creates the slowdown going from raising the cost of borrowing to financial problems at FAANGs. Of course the current round of layoffs is mostly anticipatory. They aren't really hurting yet, although they're certainly seeing their growth numbers start to turn down.
I don't understand why a scammer wouldn't just add the number to their address book before calling.

Also as an individual this would be kinda scary. Not to mention the fact I have to share my private address book, but also if my friend forgets to add me I can randomly have to pay?
As someone who has done .NET, C++ embedded, Python and NodeJS, I have to say that picking up NodeJS and creating APIs at scale with full automated nightly test suites using docker and postman/newman was very easy to learn and very fun. Python is up there as well but I had to work on Django and not some of the more simpler api frameworks that looks nice.
It was not naïve, they grew up in a generational-scale labor shortage with low inflation and incredibly low costs of living and low energy costs.

They had a minimum wage in a technical legalistic sense, but financial success was guaranteed in practice. Risk taking is safe if you're not able to fail.

Nobody lives in that kind of paradise now. Was all squandered.
Parents do not, as a matter of course, have my cell phone number. It's fine for a few families to have it (because e.g. I had to call them), but if every parent in the program was able to message me at any time of day, I think I'd have a problem.

Now, there are other ways this could work. My company has a "director of client services"—let's call her "Anna"—and all parents have Anna's number. So I suppose I could have called Anna, and Anna could have called the parents, and then Anna could have called me back to relay what the parents said. It just would have taken longer.

Of course, Anna is occasionally sick / on vacation / otherwise unavailable, in which case there's a second person—let's call her "Vivian"—who I can reach out to in an emergency. We're an after-school program, so we're not set up to have a centralized office phone, but I guess parents could add Vivian to their contacts as well.

But I'm happy I was able to just call the parents.
What side effects are you experiencing with Strattera?
We tried doing this on PyPI a couple of years ago, and it produced a large number of false positives (too many to manually review).

You can see the rules we tried here[1].

In every single one of these cases, it begs the question whether "JS" is the problem or "backwards compatibility". There are a huge number of inefficiencies that can be fixed with a full rewrite.

There was a recent conversation over ViteJS (a pure JS bundler) vs rust-based tooling, and when you dig into the numbers the real difference is SWC vs Babel. It raises the question whether a new transpiler written in JS can be competitive with Rust, but it's unclear if anyone tried.
The main issue is that there was no sniffling symbol in the transcript. And the generated text wouldn't contain it either, because (thankfully) they are pruned out of written interviews that I used to train the model.
While they are open-source projects, I bet their software is still driven by customer feedback. I wouldn't put it past them to prioritize paying customer requests which takes time away from implementing features, doing bugfixes or code review.
Well I don’t know what the mainstream theory was in the US but in the Netherlands it was ‘well if due to our lockdowns R is smaller than 1 the disease will just die down’. Which is obviously nonsensical in a pandemic.

Inside out SLAM isn’t solely dependent on optics. It also uses IMUs to fill in the interim.

You can quite easily test this on any phone that supports AR (I’d recommend an iPhone).

That's a hard perspective for many developers to adopt because people understandably prioritize their own tasks and deadlines. I think it needs manager support and even encouragement because it's a global optimization for your team's productivity. Reviewing and merging pending PRs will deliver value to your product sooner than procrastinating on pending PRs so you can write new code that will then need to wait for some other developer to review it. It can be a vicious cycle.
Their principles are fine. It's just that hard-coding a list of English-language bad words, then matching on them in an extremely naive way, is not an excellent way of manifesting those principles in code.

The Scunthorpe Problem[1] has been known for over 25 years. Plenty of people have names that incorporate a word that, on its own, would be a slur. Many English-language slurs are also words with entirely different meanings in other languages. Naively regex-matching all incoming text to see if it contains any of a hard-coded list of words means that you're going to get a lot of false positives, which the instance administrators can do nothing to prevent. Meanwhile, you are requiring only the level of creativity of an unremarkable eight-year-old on behalf of those who wish to evade the filter by creatively mis-spelling something. This is all very very obvious to anyone who has ever worked on content filtering, and not much less obvious to someone who hasn't and just sits thinking for five minutes or so.

> I seriously couldn't figure out the idiomatic Ocaml workflow/developer inner loop after more than a day of struggling.

I tend to agree but, compiling C++ isn't just about typing "make". And it did take me more than one day to figure out python/js workflow.
The XDG standard is a Linux standard, for compatibility between Linux distributions. Writing to ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config} on a non-Linux platform is like writing to ${APPDATA:-~/AppData/Roaming} on a non-Windows platform. I will never understand where the habit of assuming Linux standards are universal standards comes from.

There is nothing in Apple's documentation about Application Support being incorrect for CLI applications. It is an ex post facto justification for apps that do the wrong thing on Linux too and don't want to go to the effort. They are almost guaranteed to do the same thing on Windows and not even go to the effort of setting the folder as hidden.
Whose backend should it be using? Apple’s?
By the fact that it was generated using GPT. Same way you would go about classifying something as e.g. not made with slave labour or made with a production process that follows environmental pollution rules. That you can't easily detect it from the end product is not necessarily an obstruction to legislation.
“Fully reusable” is still a little wiggly. Cars are fully reusable and they still get replaced after 150k miles. Are we going to begrudge someone calling it reusable if they have a MTBF of 10 flights? Or at least, as long as partial failure results in a successful mission but a decommissioned engine or unibody?

You’d use your whole manufacturing capacity then to do 90 missions a year.
If it helps, I'm not aware of you at all!
I like it when I'm done. I very much dislike it when I'm not sure yet what my code should do so it changes constantly. And that's most of the time in gamedev for example.

If you sell a large quantity (whether regular selling or short selling), it will drive the price down. If you short sell before regular selling, it will drive the price down even before you start your regular selling. Any gain from short selling will be offset by the lower price you get from your regular selling.
>Sorry for this being a bit secret until now but we tried to quickly build and iterate something usable. There isn't much documentation for it as it is behind feature flag it's not a GA feature but hope that will come soon.

Being productive is good but only as a means to an end. If you're using your productivity to get more done then that can be dangerous. But if you're using it to get your work done faster then it's actually quite useful.
The type system is awesome to work with. It is low level, but it does a good job at feeling like a high level language. The biggest thing to get used to is the borrow checker, but it also helps with data races. While it works as a low level language, I think it _feels_ like a higher level one to work with.
> Why would we not burn the plastic _and_ the other fuel?

Why would we? When you turn on the light, or drive in your car, are you thinking "hmm, they burned some plastic, let me drive extra"? No, the only signal you use is the cost of the product.

> Are you proposing we somehow regulate the ‘swap’ here?

It's automatically regulated by the fact that you have to pay for it. Plastic for fuel is similar in price to other fuels. You're not going to have extra consumption.

> “putting plastic in landfill sequesters carbon we’d otherwise burn”. That argument seems more intuitively correct to me.

As a technique to advance the argument sure we can talk about that, but "intuitive"????? I feel like you're missing something major if that feels intuitive to you.

We should find out what that is, or we'll be talking across each other, without understanding.

Are you theorizing we automatically burn every bit of fuel available to us? That's not how it works - people have a need for energy, they check the price of the energy and see if it's worth spending that much to accomplish their need.

Plastic for fuel is very valuable because someone already paid (in energy) to extract it from the ground. So now, you don't have to pay for that energy a second time. This is very good for the environment.

The wedding invitation is still there, and if you submitted it to a printer to print as a spot colour job, would print fine.

If you want to print it on your CMYK inkjet printer, just choose the CMYK build, and if you want to put the image on your web site, choose the RGB hex representation.

Because Adobe doesn't have an option for substrate representation, there are two spot colour libraries (for coated/uncoated stock), and in order for a job to print properly on a commercial press, spot colours have to be identifiable so that a plate can be made.

To use a car analogy, it's like a person complaining that their truck needs diesel because they didn't understand what the diesel engine description on the window sticker meant.
I switched to Aegis recently, and I did it for only 2 reasons:

1) I prefer to use OSS when possible

2) Aegis supports import/export/backup - so if I get a new phone, I don't have to spend days setting up my dozens of accounts again! This also means I can setup the same OTPs in both Keepass and my phone, so I can always get into my accounts

I'm really liking it, it does the same job as the Google and Microsoft Authenticator apps, but import/export/backup means it's more usable
Think this is a great reinforcement of also requiring a guiding mission to what you do - otherwise it won't feel authentic.

So if your niche is for example custom IT security services for religious, well off business folks, if you don't align and empathize with that niche (e.g., you're an atheist), even if it's a monetary opportunity, you're going to feel dissonance.

At a broader level, this is why I think aligning with your company's mission helps when people can do that vs. taking a more agnostic approach to where you work.

I've seen that too, ironic since most scripting languages are written in c++, but languages such as go and rust are now self-hosted so there's finally meaningful aloternatives to either c++ or java/c# (in the case of go).
Any tips on using ethernet when you're renting a house and unable to wire any infrastructure?
