Unpopular opinion: most of "Higher Education" is just a jobs program for people with liberal arts degrees, funded by theft of the future earning potential of the youth.
If you’ve ever had first hand experience with what investigative journalists write, it’s not all true. The better ones do a good job, in the worse ones their editorial opinion shines through.
IMO - my theory is that 5 years ago Musk was successful enough that regular people in the tech industry admired him, but not so successful that most people who admired him realised he was substantially more successful than they were ever going to be.

These days though, it’s quite clear to the 250k a year tech-guy that, even though they’re making bank, they’re never going to be “Elon rich”, and so the jealousy disguised as virtue has come out in full swing.

Is he perfect? Of course he fucking isn’t… we work in tech, we all work with atleast one “brilliant ass-hole”… they’re the ones that make our days a little bit more painful but also write the fucking insane code that makes most of our workplaces profitable.

Elon is just the end of that bell-curve.

> Yes, the data is interesting, but how many of us really do something from that data? I know I don't. And if you really need this data (professional athlete or whatever), most of the time, someone will pay the gadget for you.

Which is why I was sad when Pebble doubled down on the fitness/sports marketing in the months before they shut down.

I don't care about fitness tracking and sportsball data. What I do care about is an e-paper-like screen (not just the "always on display" phone screen tech, but a proper "looks the same whether I look at it or not" always-on screen), hackability, predictable UI and buttons. The ability to operate the watch (and remotely control the phone, via Pebble/Tasker integration) without looking at it is supremely useful to me. That, and no fucking cloud. Ever. Hardware tied to SaaS is the enemy of all that's holy.

The US should grow up and stop it with these bicameral partisan pissing matches.

Both the US centre right and alt-right parties are equally responsible for putting US citizens taxes directly in the grubby hands of middlemen who fail to deliver outcomes.
You can't "push" people into a field. I know smart people who would quite literally go insane if they had to stare at a screen all day. They don't have autism. They want to work with people not machines. So they work in healthcare.

I am an ardent user of 1password and can do all the tasks you desire:

- I frequently add notes to the logins / items I've created (adding information about security questions or why I created an account to begin with)
- I add tags to every single item in 1password, detailing if it relates to a "website", "app", for "personal" or "work", etc...
- The primary presentation of items _is_ in a list

I would highly recommend you review 1password as perhaps you have not used it in some time or were using something else.

We had a power cut while on holiday. No real damage or loss but the bottom layer is now re-frozen icecream, probably caused by something not quite sealed being stacked sideways.
> That's not a good strategy either if users notice you're doing it, because they just won't use the app.

Users can be informed about all kinds of user-hostile behavior by dating sites/apps and still use them. Turns out companies don't go out of business because of screwing over their customers. Companies have been caught knowingly poisoning their customers and still they've stayed in business and are profitable.

Companies often put on a good show in their twitter feed but they don't actually fear customer backlash. If doing something evil is going to make a company money they will do it. We'll bitch about it on social media until we get distracted by something else, but we'll continue to accept their abuses over and over again. We'll even keep paying the company that did it to us.

The freezer drawer on the bottom style of combination fridge/freezers is actually significantly less efficient (10-25%, depending on the model) than the freezer on top style.
Yes.

I only see tweets from people I follow. There is zero chance I'd use the twitter app/site default timeline, look at "trending" topics etc. I just follow a hundred or so people and I see their tweets in alphabetical order because I use a sane client (In my case Tweetbot, but there are others).

Content/people discovery is not a problem because of retweets. Almost all the people I follow I follow because people I already followed retweeted or quoted them. Then I look at that profile, the content they write, and if they are interesting, I follow them too.

If someone produces content I don't like for whatever reason, I unfollow them. That includes content they quote or retweet too obviously.
If this is one of the main reasons, then the case against Closure that you're making doesn't sound very strong.
> Not really? It's less about arithmetic and more about inferencing data in higher dimensions than we can understand.

This is a VERY poor definition of mathematics.
> It compiles a custom kernel for every operation, allowing extreme shape specialization.

This doesn't matter. Just look at the performance achieved by CuDNN kernels (which back PyTorch), they're dynamically shaped and hit near peak. For dense linear algebra at the size of modern neural networks, optimizing for the loop bound condition won't help much.

> All tensors are lazy, so it can aggressively fuse operations.

This matters. PyTorch teams are trying to implement that now (they have LazyTensor, AITemplate, TorchDynamo), but I'm not sure of the status (it's been tried repeatedly).

> The backend is 10x+ simpler, meaning optimizing one kernel makes everything fast.

The first part of that sentence matters, the second part doesn't. Kernels are already fast and their reuse outside of being fused into each other (which you need a full linear algebra compiler to do) isn't very high. If you make sum fast, you have not made matrix multiplication fast even though MM has a sum in it. It just isn't that easy to compose operations and still hit 80+% of hardware efficiency.

But it is easier to iterate fast and build a seamless lazy compiler if your backend is simple. You can pattern match more easily and ensure you handle edge cases without insanely complicated things like alias analysis (which PyTorch has to do).

I consider that WebP lossy was fixed to usable quality level around 2015, five years after the launch. For the first five years it had a tendency to make 4x4 pixel lego-block representations of smooth gradients and lose highly saturated colors.

8-bits per channel and YUV420 only were caused by hurrying it.

With JPEG XL we have the opposing mistake. We had a great format already in 2017, and spent 5 years more for improving it further.

I mean, if you don't like it then quit. I think that's the point. Elon is going to run Twitter like his other companies which means he only wants people who actually want to be there and want to put in the hours to make the business work. Anyone not willing to do so should leave. It's a private company so he can set whatever expectations he wants, if the former employees don't like it they can start their own business.
Any client that doesn't work exactly like this (doesn't let me resume from where I last read, lets me know when I have read everything I follow, and shows only what they write in alphabetical order) is a broken Twitter client.

The default behavior of both the Twitter apps and Twitter site feed is exactly like this. Plus it inserts ads into the feed, and tries to bait you with "trending" topics.

The level of detail that will be available to servers will not be reduced at all, but rather repackaged and split up into separate headers that the server can individually request. The information contained in these headers will likely be more accurate because it's claimed to be safer this way.

Whereas today your browser sends the messy but relatively detailed user agent string automatically with each request, after this change it will still send the messy user agent string with each request but with a tiny bit less detail.

Just to add on that.

In 2015, Paris Airport Air Traffic Software were running on windows 3.1.

Is windows 3.1 outdated ? Yes. No longer a public facing product ? Yes.

Dead ? Absolutely not (at least back then, maybe it got decommissioned).

Around that time, a friend of mine was doing his master Thesis in an astronomy lab. He had to load fortran 77 routines from a 5" floppy disk that were doing critical computation (they were in the process of migrating). Same diagnosis: outdated, became a niche product, but not dead at all.

> Could it be that Lisp is not dead because the people that started learning programming when it was popular are not dead?

I think that this kind of questions is derived from some kind of ignorance of one mathematical principle. If some mathematical law is discovered - it works, no matter how many active users it has. Lisp will never be like Python 2 which is definitely dead by all measures. A word "Lisp" as a name of programming language does not even have a certain implementation because "Lisp" is not "Common Lisp" or "Lisp 1.5". The word "Lisp" is just an idea, an extremely rigorous mathematical idea, this kind of things will never die.

This is more common than you would think in the U.S. ZIP codes don't always follow geopolitical boundaries. There are two cities in 57717. Some ZIP codes even cross state boundaries; USPS won't state it when you look up ZIP 42223 in their web tool, but part of it covers Tennessee. For example, the Pratt Museum is in Fort Campbell TN but has a Fort Campbell KY mailing address.
It's a good question. Here, if you have a permanent contract, the employer is required to pay into various government insurances, and this is mandatory for all employers. The salaries here are lower because of this, but it's deceiving because the insurances are based on your salary. Your employer also pays anywhere between 2-10% on top of your monthly salary into a pension fund on top of your state pension. So in short, if you make 100k EUR, after taxes that's actually your money. So in my case, after I've made my monthly mortgage payment, set some aside for groceries and some subscriptions, the money I have left can be spent on whatever I want without worry, I practically don't need to save unless I choose to.

You're right in that employers restrict hiring as much as possible, what tends to happen here is you get a 1 year contract with the option to be taken on permanently, and these contracts don't have all of the insurances. Taking a permanent contract here is seen as a serious commitment to the company, so most people who just want more money in their bank account at the end of the month choose not to take permanent contracts and take the risk themselves.

If I saved for these things myself in the US, I would've been netting less than I do here in Europe, despite my US salary being 100k higher. A lot of people live way beyond their means with all these things considered.

I have a separate freezer/fridge and they amount to about the same as a standard European sized fridge (so no double door US style things) and the freezer uses about 63W when on and the fridge about 58W. I guess the compressors are of the same order but the freezer simply runs longer. Daily usage is about 0.9-0.92kWh. Less if you don't open them, more if you put something in the freezer/fridge which is not cold.

I tried measuring if getting a new one would save power and was affordable somewhat cost effective but the short story is that the upfront cost could only be recuperated even by a tiny bit when kWh prices rise far into the 1 Euro/kWh.
If you go from earning $250k+ at a highly recognizable company to homeless then you fucked up severely somewhere along the way. You'd have to have 0 savings, massive debt, and completely fail at every job interview afterwards.

Sorry, what? Am I misunderstanding? In Europe after you get fired, you can opt to just draw 50% of your old salary indefinitely? Who's paying it?
Two reasons: "Learn to drive" and "Cockroach".

Both were translation error from Finnish. European moderators are mostly Russians living in Malta(etc) and only with rudimentary knowledge of Finnish and other small language.

First one was the "Learn to Code"-problem, but too complex to explain.

And other one was "Russakka". Finnish word for "Cockroach" stems from the word Russian, but that is how it is, for obvious reasons. No fault of mine.

Your code is open source and free for self-hosting. You have a paid managed model. I really like this model and want to adopt it, but have always wondered how this works out for most companies. Do most people opt for your managed solution? Is it enough to keep paying the bills? Do you have outside contributions thanks to the projects being open sourced?
So? If they need specific people to come in then they'll probably just call them, I'm guessing they're running with a skeleton crew while they do the lay offs. Most of the people in the office probably won't even be Twitter employees.

Well this is the other side of the public opinion on Elon Musk. His companies have done a bunch of things, ranging from impressive to bad. As outsiders all we know is that his involvement with, say, a rocket that can land itself is somewhere between "Elon single-handedly designed, constructed and assembled every part of it" and "Elon told someone the rockets re-usable". There's no way to know, but you and a legion of people seem to be portraying his involvement as closer to the former (literally "He’s also built rockets that land themselves..." - come on)

Honestly this discourse has played out a thousand times over. Some people love him, attribute all his companies' wins to him and memory-hole any of the fuck-ups or gaffes. Some people acknowledge his business acumen, don't quite believe the hype on the company-level achievements that get attributed to him personally and find his personality as portrayed on traditional and social media to be grating.

I'm clearly in the latter group and I think that's a pretty uncontroversial position to take.

Yes, and repeatedly people point out that high dozens or low hundreds should be enough but they have thousands (allegedly).

I think the point you are missing that especially tech people might have been using twitter for 10 years like a public IRC client. Open App/Browser, read messages, write messages, complain about lack of linear timeline, close app.

Yes, it has grown, but they added a million features that probably none of the people here asked for. We don't necessarily follow Justin Bieber where the system needs to be able to handle 2m users connected, we follow a kernel developer with 2000 followers.

I guess it's a marvel of engineering that's mostly needed for whatever method they found to make money off, I'm still asking myself this after these years.

Here's there's a major difference between USA and EU law, and I daresay culture as well: how private information is viewed.

As far as I understand in the EU private information is part of the self. Thus, manipulating, exchanging, dealing with private information without the person's consent is by itself a kind of aggression or violation of their rights. Even if the person never finds out.

In the USA however private information is an asset. The aggression or violation of right only happens when it actually damages the victim's finances. So if the victim never finds out about discussions happening somewhere else in the world, well… no harm done I guess?

Both views are a little extreme in my opinion, but the correct view (rights are only violated once the victim's own life has been affected in any way), is next to impossible to establish: in many cases the chain of events that can eventually affect a person's life is impossible to trace. Because of that I tend to suggest caution, and lean towards the EU side of the issue.

Especially if it's the documentation of a crime as heinous as child abuse.
They're referring to contract law, though. Free speech isn't the legal bit here.

> Without a DRM mechanism it can be easily shared on warez sites.

Every time a publisher mentions this to me, they look surprised when I tell them their books are already easily shared on warez sites. Complex DRM schemes, especially Adobe, limit innovation in reading applications and cause all sorts of end user issues. This in turns pushes people to find sites like zlib in the first place.
