Wikipedia is not the Truth. That list is incomplete and selective. Seriously, there are much better sources that paint a much better picture of the grandeur, glory, and absurdity of the French Revolution. I would start with the Revolution podcast, which is itself imperfect but still presents a lot of the nuance missing in this sort of discussions.
I appreciate the distinction you made for me between intermediate host and original source. Appreciate realizing I misunderstood you :D

In any case it doesn't seem like I fully understand the significance of your intermediate host bit. I wrote a bit more, but cut it out. Frankly I don't know enough about the field to understand the significance or not of a lack of known intermediate host for an emergent virus

> or that Zuck knows more than a surface level of how FB's tech works

How about in 2016 where he built an home control AI and iPhone app with voice recognition for it using Facebook tech?

"I had to reverse engineer APIs for some of these to even get to the point where I could issue a command from my computer to turn the lights on or get a song to play."

"As the CEO of Facebook, I don't get much time to write code in our internal environment. I've never stopped coding, but these days I mostly build personal projects like Jarvis. I expected I'd learn a lot about the state of AI this year, but I didn't realize I would also learn so much about what it's like to be an engineer at Facebook. And it's impressive.
My experience of ramping up in the Facebook codebase is probably pretty similar to what most new engineers here go through. I was consistently impressed by how well organized our code is, and how easy it was to find what you're looking for -- whether it's related to face recognition, speech recognition, the Messenger Bot Framework or iOS development. The open source Nuclide packages we've built to work with GitHub's Atom make development much easier. The Buck build system we've developed to build large projects quickly also saved me a lot of time. Our open source FastText AI text classification tool is also a good one to check out, and if you're interested in AI development, the whole Facebook Research GitHub repo is worth taking a look at."

Anarchy for Who?
This is quite frustrating to see as someone who has been in the Vocaloid fandom since '08 and maintains a pretty sizable Vocaloid community.

The "realism" of Vocaloid is not exactly a priority--a lot of people enjoy the robotic sounding voice. Making ridiculous statements like "blow it out of the water" really rubs me the wrong way of the typical techbro looking for objective KPIs instead of what the general vibe of the fandom.

To me, this is like saying "DAWs blows physical instruments out of the water because it can create a lot more sounds!"--you're right, but you're totally missing the point.

Here's a KPI: nobody is making music from Synthesizer V, and it's not exactly very popular.

> Vocaloid was the only real competitor in vocal synths for so long they completely stopped innovating. Very IE6-esque.

This is probably the only fair argument here. The Vocaloid editor has always been quite difficult to use, and recent competitors in that space has made improvements to it. Hatsune Miku's new release moves away from Vocaloid in favor of a Piapro/Crypton voice engine with a better editor, for instance.
This isn’t a good faith reading of what I’m saying at all.

You could make really a really compelling argument that the US is better thought of as a more economically advanced Brazil rather than a more violent Germany. It seems clear to me that we have a constitutional amendment providing for a right to bare arms precisely because we emerged as a fractious collection of former colonies after armed struggle against England.

> Apple, Google (and others) asks their employees to come back to the office this year. Is management there stupid too?

I do and I've consistently voiced that opinion no matter the CEO/company. I don't think they think it is stupid, I know they have their reasons. I disagree with their reasons, I think there is more at play than only logical thinking on this point (real estate, asses in chair, etc), and I think it's shortsighted. WFH is an amazing perk and while I get not everyone wants it there are a large number of people who do and to cut off that entire group is incredibly short-sighted.

It's fine though, I'll never work for any of those companies, I have zero desire to do so, I much prefer smaller companies that understand WFH. Though I'd make 1 exception I think, for Apple, to gut and replace App Store Connect/The Developer Portal or at least have better feedback/errors/displaying the current state (which is a common complaint I have with Apple when their software needs to talk to server, the feedback is always lackluster or non-existent). Those websites look broken and/or are confusing/vague way too often. At least the Google Play dev console is so busy and incoherent that you'd not notice most issues. Though props to the Google Play devs for making apk/aab upload/release errors as confusing as possible in most cases :chefs-kiss:
1. Thought it would be funny to name it that due to Dashlane's tedious processes.

2. I made this so I wouldn't have to rely on Dashlane's servers so I called it serverless. Although you are correct in calling stateless instead of self hosted. I will fix that.

3. I thought ANU QRNG was good to use to generate non psuedorandomly to generate a master password just cause it was cool to see microwave background randomness haha.

Does "whatever it wants" include making contractual promises and then breaking them? Because I wasn't aware private companies had the right to rescind contracts at will.
Then why did he fight for months and months and ostensibly spend millions in legal fees to back out of the deal? I just can't square that with him truly wanting the platform. If he wanted it from the beginning, the acquisition would've been completed in what, May? He made the offer in April.
That's the biggest thing!
I've spent my last few weeks writing a platform in Go. Buffer management/strong typing is definitely an improvement on C. Shame about tall the null-pointer-exceptions though :')

In all seriousness though it does seem to mitigate a lot of exploitable memory corruption vulns, perhaps not memory-corruption-caused Denial-of-Service vulnerabilities as well as Rust et all maybe.
Those people should have done more diligence. The text messages with Larry Ellison show he committed 1 billion dollars more or less on a whim.

> (You wouldn’t believe the thought/effort/testing that can go into the shape, color, details, etc. of a web app button.)

I beg to differ. A/B testing minutiae like the exact shade of color is not UX research; it's merely the pretense thereof.

All the people doing this research are not exceptionally brilliant: this is easy to deduce by noticing how everything is getting objectively worse.

> UX design (I’m not speaking of other aspects of design) isn’t really a creative process as much as an engineering discipline.

Absolutely wrong. It's creative in the sense that you can't quantify it with scientific measures.

UX is coming up with the iPhone when all the smart phones in your era had a small tiny screen and a 4x4 keyboard.
If there's no salted database of passwords to crack, and some limit on tries, I agree. We don't know what he means by "unique" though. Maybe not truly high entropy.

An interesting company I talked to a while back working on (1) in the spaced is deep6.ai. Interesting approach and there is a lot of work that can be done here sourcing patients more effectively. I think they said something like only 10% of studies are able to be carried out due to lack of patient recruitment.
There's also a kind of surprising overlap with tech and visual design theory here. If you are creating even a simple design system it's important to watch your column-defined widths and be conscientious about them.

Through this lens, 80 column width is really liberal and may seem even presumptively so in lots of ways. As a result it can start to feel much less like a relic of olden times, and more like meaningless extra room for mildly-offensive slop, again given how far we've come with theory. Occasionally people will reference design principles as they exist independently of their tech tools and make some changes but it's very rare in tech.

Even more importantly though, the conscious integration of design theory can be used with intent to change the whole scope for the better, and there are ways to manage/leverage any extra breadth more creatively than we currently do in the text editing world. I hope to see editors and language standards move further in this direction in the future.
I'm confused, is this a joke? If it is, is there context here I'm missing?
> Why shouldn't it be legal?

Because it's destructive to the economy. The only winners when this happens are the execs who arranged the deal, which is why Twitter's execs pushed so hard for the Musk deal to close even though the outcome was going to be bad for everyone else.

To put it another way - a lot of businesses would still be operating and a lot of people would still have jobs if LBOs were illegal.
In neighbouring China, CCP has produced tremendous economic growth in that timeframe.

Some perspective is needed - tremendous economic growth is common when you're an incredibly poor country. China - after decades of growth - still has a lower GDP per capita than post-soviet Russia.

People calling him a genious should be able to point to some great success he has achieved in all this time, in any activity whatsoever, that an average person could not.

I don't see anyone calling him a genius. I'd imagine he's probably fairly smart, like most world leaders. Calling someone an idiot/crazy for starting a war isn't a very useful thing to do, if you're interested in the prevention of war.

Spotify used to have a version of a song that I had for years on MP3. It had an audio defect in it that wasn't part of the actual song.

I'm not saying they got it on Napster/Limewire, but uhh--that's where I got my identical copy many years before Spotify existed.

Unfortunately I have forgotten what song it was.
There’s this old quote from Surcouf (a French privateer from the late 18th and early 19th century). When an English captain told him “you Frenchmen fight merely for money. Whereas us Englishmen fight for Honour”, he answered “well, everyone fights for what he lacks”.
The explanation for the i element has had a rough history: I remember wording such as "the i element is for content that's normally put into italics" lol. Demonstrating the whole concept of "semantic" HTML is simply flawed at a fundamental level: HTML is a vocabulary for casual academic publishing, with headings, footers, lists, etc. for structuring, and other very specific elements (such as <var>) typical of such use case. But what about other pieces of text, such as threaded discussions like this page? For some, using a vocabulary fit for a specific purpose with mapping to a rendering vocabulary is the entire point of markup.

"Semantic" HTML seems to be pushed after the fact as a justification for CSS to have syntax completely separate from HTML, reserving attributes for "behavior". The idea that markup attributes shouldn't contain style info is laughable when they're there for the exact reason to associate typed properties with elements.
> sometimes I just want to design something basic without having to context switch to CSS. I want italic, I use the <i> tag.

Just use the <em> tag.
Hey! From a technical and product polish standpoint this looks great. That being said I have never really dived into making a personal website partly because I'm not sure what I'd do with it (looks like you've lowered the barrier to entry though). What do you see as the main use cases are for a personal website generally, and postcard specifically?
oh yeah i forgot, "serverless" here also means the recursive nature of how passwords could be attained without it needing to be stored anywhere.

>If you are the only person in the world with the private key to your coins, you are the only person who can move them. Period.

This is completely and utterly irrelevant and has not stopped anyone from performing massive fraud. Just look at the long history of crypto scams. They still happened constantly despite blockchains having that feature. It's just impossible for a blockchain to prevent these frauds. It doesn't matter if you still have all your coins if the value of that coin drops to zero after it's revealed the whole market for that coin is fraudulent, which is exactly what happened this week! And multiple times earlier this year, and multiple times before that! It doesn't matter if it's stored on a DEX either, when you're still stuck with a worthless coin that no one will trade you for! How many shitcoins need to collapse before this is understood? Blockchains do not and will never solve this problem because they create the problem, by design, by allowing anyone to manipulate and dump tokens anywhere they want with no regard for what's fraudulent and what isn't. On a DEX you can't even know if the person on the other end is a real person or not without going outside the chain. I can't believe I'm still talking about this after the long, long string of fraud that's happened over the last 12 years. FTX is not the problem, they are the symptom. The problem is blockchains. They're intentionally built to enable fraud. They have no other purpose, and they aren't even particularly good at that because they stop working when everyone notices the fraud.

I should also mention, your statement isn't even correct! There's a very easy way to get someone else to move their coins for you: threaten them. That's the entire principle that ransomware is built on. It's real easy for criminals and the police and anyone else using the threat of force to get people to give up their coins, blockchains don't prevent that and it's impossible for them to do so because they can't affect anything that happens in the real world outside the chain. I really can't understate this. Blockchains are a fraud. Every claimed authority or security provided by a blockchain is trivially defeated by just routing around it or by gaming the market, which is ridiculously easy for anyone with some cash to throw around because there are no real rules or safeguards. They're probably the worst "invention" that's come out of the tech sector in the last 15 years. I really hope this crash is the end for crypto.

There it is. There’s enough fanboys around that he doesn’t have to worry about butts to put in seats.
Curl is great because it’s stable and universally available.

But for interactive CLI usage, I always find its command line options non intuitive - take this for example, I don’t think I can really remember the difference between -d and —data-url and —url-query if I don’t use it daily. I think that the price to pay to make it backward compatible.

For that reason, I would recommend httpie as a replacement, which provides a more intuitive interface.
Possibly, but for some reason I had the impression they were doing away with grandfathered plans too. Because my old google apps (free) account was force upgraded to workspaces maybe.

I think I had read you can request additional storage when you exceed the standard limit now. Maybe that’s what he means by unlimited and if you already had the data in googled cloud, well you don’t have to request from anyone (yet).
The problem is not with copyright and patents per se. They were invented for a good reason: to promote creation of intellectual works, and to help keep them open, not perish in secrecy as in medieval times.

The problem is in the prolongation of copyright well beyond reason, to allow entities barely related to the original creators keep profiting. Not that profiting is bad per se! But the limitations stymie both other creators and the consumers of the art and other intellectual property.
if internet advertising really is that ineffective, how does one explain the incredible amount of it, its permeation of seemingly everything, and the amounts of money involved?
YES. I have seen layout prototypes for this kind of thinking, and they're magical. It's not trivial, but will come more and more into reach. All of visual layout delivers a spatial visual language that all humans understand. We know what headers _are_ because we know what headers _look like_. And not for a single style of article, but for all articles.

I also used to believe that rigorous semantic tagging was The Way To Do Documents, and it was certainly a useful crutch, but we absolutely need to move beyond that.
Considering that the current America is a product of European colonization, I'd say it lacks technology advancement early on.

Don't kid yourself, this is being weaponized. Anytime the government does anything, it is not to help you or me.

It will be used in ways not intended. The Sherman Act has been used by many politicians to go after their political advisories.

If the FTC wants to do this, then they need to go after the banks for their anticompetitive practices. How about Apple?

In the 90s, Janet Reno went after Bill Gates. It wasn't because of the browser in Windows. It was a result of Microsoft's reach into Congress, helping turn Congress over to the Republicans. Microsoft's execs didn't want the tax increases that were coming, so they went all in for Republicans. After the election, Reno directed the DOJ to prosecute M$. What a circus that was to see. Then, you know what really hit the fan, Microsoft backed Dave Stirling in California. Democrats were going to do anything they could to destroy M$.

Can you imagine someone going after Google, or Apple, because they won't let others put software on their devices? How anticompetitive is the Apple Store? Can I please remove Chrome off my Chromebook, and use Firefox? Google and Apple donate heavily to Democrats, as does Microsoft today. You're not going to see it used where it needs to be, related to technology, IMHO.

I'm not picking on Democrats, there are plenty of anticompetitive right leaning companies as well (The Banks, Oil & Gas Industry, Agriculture...).

It doesn’t look just a little Tailwind-y. It IS in fact a made of unmodified (in terms of design) components from TailwindUI stacked on a Hotwire+Rails website.

An example (the hero section)

- https://tailwindui.com/components/marketing/sections/heroes
- https://tailwindui.com/components/application-ui/lists/grid-lists

Since I’m guessing what the OP posted is an MVP, it’s perfectly acceptable and the product seems alright, just hope they do make homepages more distinct and polished like you said starting with their own.

On a more serious note, the OP might want to radically modify the design of these asap (I’m not sure if even that would make this project fall under TailwindUI’s license).

The License that TailwindUI provides (https://tailwindui.com/license) states:

Examples of usage not allowed by the license:

- Creating a "website builder" project where end users can build their own websites using components or templates included with or derived from Tailwind UI.

you write down phonemes on a DAW, and it synthesizes the voice for you. you also put down vibrato or other modifiers like you would for most other instruments.

the audio is generated from a voicebank that is a database of prepared phonemes recorded from a voice actor. some packages come with multiple variants of voicebanks, like you could have a "soft" voice and a "vivid" voice.
