My only consolation for you is the phenomenon is largely concentrated at companies that profit on selling user’s information.

Also - I question their characterization of how carefree these folks were. Of the few folks in my network that we knew rested and vested, many were so burnt out they eventually left the industry all together.

Except that AI models, especially large deep ones, do NOT overfit like the author thinks. They exhibit what is now called "deep double descent" -- the validation error declines, then increases, and then declines again:

https://openai.com/blog/deep-double-descent/

A question I've pondered for a while is whether complex systems in the real world also exhibit double descent.

For example, transitioning an online application that currently serves thousands of users to one that can serve millions and then billions requires reorganizing all code, processes, and infrastructure, making software development harder at first, but easier down the road. Anyone who has gone through it will tell you that it's like going through "phase transitions" that require "getting over humps."

Similarly, startups that want to transition from small-scale to mid-size and then to large-scale businesses must increase operational complexity, making everything harder at first, but easier down the road. Anyone who has been with a startup that has grown from tiny two-person shop to large corporation will tell you that it's like going through "phase transitions" that require "getting over humps."

Finally, it may be that whole countries and economies that want to improve the lives of their citizens may have to go through an interim period of less efficiency, making everything harder at first, but easier down the road. It may be that human progress involves "phase transitions" that require "getting over humps."

Not really; there are no localized function names for languages that use non-Latin based scripts because otherwise one would have to constantly switch keyboard layouts to type any formula. Except for the Russian version of Excel which uses Latin-spelt cell names (D1, F2, etc.) but Cyrillic-spelt function names (ЕСЛИ, СУММ, БЕССЕЛЬ.J, etc.), of course.

Is your system notably different from most parliamentary systems? The PM is usually selected by seeing who can put together a large enough coalition of parties, in terms of the sum of MPs in those parties, right? Is the difference that your MPs actually vote, rather than it being assumed that they follow their party leadership, or something like that? But I imagine the parties must have a way of keeping their MPs in line…

I mean that isn’t how it works in the US of course but I was under the impression our system was more unusual. Parliamentary systems seem quite popular.

(In the US it often seems like we’ve got this weird old version of Representative Democracy XP, while most of the rest of the advanced democracies have updated to Representative Democracy 10: Parliamentary Edition. We had a bunch of the original devs on staff, so they wrote a bunch of in-house patches, which let us keep XP running well past EOL, but now it turns out layering on patches like that results in an incredibly fragile system and we can’t update anything without possibly taking down the whole system.)

The way this approach is implemented in Emacs is that it depends on whether your previous action was an undo.

A B C undo undo D undo: A
A B C undo undo D undo undo: AB

Really depends on the insulation if you're in Western Europe close to the sea (making the winters less harsh). I live in a flat and the whole complex has been upgraded with modern insulation and modern windows about five years ago. I turn on the heat on a few days when I feel exceptionally cold, otherwise I don't and it still maintains 18-19° (being chubby helps, that's my comfort temperature). It's not because my neighbors are doing the heating for me -- I've talked to them, and they barely ever turn it up, either.

Granted, that would change somewhat if we get a super harsh winter here, but otherwise: I consume much more electrical power than heating.

Based on my experience working at a company based in a London WeWork, the problem is that they didn't do the boring stuff well at all. Oh sure, I guess the atmosphere could be neat sometimes and there was food being served, but we ended up having:

- Internet outages that lasted for a significant amount of time (not great for a tech company)
- Power issues
- Bathroom/plumbing issues
- Various key card issues
- etc (I think a microwave exploded at one point)

It's nice if the fun stuff is there, but if they can't do the boring stuff of running a functional office space well, I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Yup, it's GitHub pages. It's just a private repo, so the world doesn't get to see my embarrassing edits and half written drafts. I would be happy to share a snapshot of the source code with you if you have a specific use for it though -- email me.

I'm using the minima Jekyll theme. I also used Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) rather than vanilla markdown to write the post. (Markdeep is awesome. It took me a full day to figure out how to get it to play nice with Jekyll, but in the end of course it turned out to be simple. You can see how I did it by looking at the blog page source -- note the <pre class="markdeep"> block, and the "mode: 'html'" option.)
You can't "turn off" memory safety in Rust, that's an absolutely misleading way to describe unsafe.
I've enjoyed writing Go for years. However, it's not been the language that does it for me. It's been the combination of features and ecosystem that makes it a default.

It's hard to explain, but the language is one you can throw into a team of random developers and come out with benchmarks, tests, CI/CD pipelines, unified code formatting, and good parallel work models (via goroutines) almost every time. Builds are instant. Built artifacts are a single binary - not 1,200 files that must be moved. Every single package that has any traction is both easy to read and has documentation inline or via published go.dev docs.

It's easy enough the frontend JS guy can write it. It's complex enough you can use goa.design or go-kit to auto generate openapi specs and complex microservice designs that support multiple transports (like gRPC). Errors always get handled because the linter points them out and the devs don't cheat by setting up multi-function try/catch blocks.

I've had less issues with production Go applications than any other language. I don't want it to win over Rust though, Rust is awesome. I want Go to replace Java.

The aesthetic has a name, "resimercial". Agreed that "fun" doesn't quite capture it, even though often times the arcade machine and corn hole boards give that inmpression.

I think tbh wework's vibe works quite well for temporary office/flex-space, low cost of entry.

The fact that everybody is somewhat of a transient at a wework creates its own cohesion too. e.g. I rented office space at a "real" office building once, and it was just weird for some rando telecommuter to share space with more established companies in more local industries. ymmv, but they did create something "new", or at least a niche office offering is now an established fixture in most metros.

no, this is not true.

So they want to control what you see. Netflix showed them the way and it took them all these years to get there. This is what turned me off Netflix.

The worst part is the top ten lists also seem to catered to my past views. The moment I realized it, I cancelled Netflix.

It’s not really sympathy though. From a game theory perspective, what benefit did he get from saying FTX US wouldn’t be impacted?

It seems like there was negative benefit: not only did it accomplish nothing in practice, but it couldn’t have helped even theoretically.

I wanted to get a shared workspace in San Antonio, but I didn't find any workspace that wasn't said to be a rip-off or total pain to sign up for. WeWork isn't here, and if they're cutting off locations, I'm sure they're not planning to be.
There's an interesting parallel here: the system proposed in the post is concatenative, and the undo tree style is, well, a tree. Sort of a Forth v. Lisp thing.

Here the big disadvantage of Forth, the implicit stack state, is less obviously balanced by something good. The UX of undo trees could certainly use improvement, it would be great if undo/redo behaved as expected, but any pivot point would automatically pop up the tree view. Then there's cherry-picking, but I have a solution to that.

This is in fact the thing I want most from an editor: select a region and then undo/redo changes only in that region. Search and replace tends to work this way, but I've never seen it in an undo/redo system.

How many times have you modified a function, broke it accidentally, and just didn't notice and made more changes? So the tests go red, you run a diff, and you see exactly what needs fixing: but you copy and paste out of the diff, because you can't just undo within the offending function.
I disagree that undo and redo are the only two actions needed to support this behavior. For example, if I’m performing the following three actions:

- insert A

- insert B

- insert C

And then I undo, I would expect to be be back at having AB. If I then undo, I would be undoing my undo and have ABC. Then undoing again would get me back to AB. And I remain in this 2-cycle.

Instead I propose the best solution is to be able to “step out” of the editing experience and see your history in a separate UI, and be able to choose a specific past version to revert to. This revert would be an atomic operation that could then be undone.

This is how most versioned consumer systems I know of work today (e.g. Google Docs, Figma, MS Office) and it feels intuitive to me as a user.

When pretty much no one pays the ‘default’ price it loses relevance.

In fact, when almost everyone pays the ‘stalking’ price, even when they obviously don’t want to be stalked and go out of their way to screw with the program and attempt to stop the stalking, your comment seems to completely ignores actual reality, which is heavily influenced by marketing, social pressures, price pressures, etc?

You know, actual market forces in a capitalist environment?

If you want something that cuts, you use a knife. If you want something that pinches, you use pliers. If your pliers cuts you, that's a bug. If your knife pinches you, that's a bug.

If you want to insulate your dealings from action by third parties, you use crypto. If your crypto is sensitive to action by third parties, that's a bug. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. If you don't like it don't use it.

When most people name something, they don't think: "golly, I better make sure the ministry of truth can step in and rename this thing if I'm being bad". And when people want to reference a named thing, they're more worried about whether the reference will fail than they are about whether whoever named the thing had to name it differently than they would've preferred due to hazards in the namespace.

Besides, isn't squatting more of a problem because your ownership lapsed and some jerk bought the domain out from under you? If ownership doesn't lapse, the only problem is when the squatter gets the name before you have even distributed it--just pick a different name and distribute that one instead.

And legal disputes. What legal disputes? I name my variables whatever I want, what laws am I going to run afoul of by naming my blog whatever I want? If the content is illegal, go censor the content, the only reason that it's customary to censor the name is because that's the weakest link. DNS NFT's would move the weakest link to... I dunno, IP addresses maybe? That'll be something that the cops have to figure out, but it's not a naming system's problem to handle its adversaries' needs just because it has less attack surface than its predecessor.

In maven, don't you need to update the pom file of the projects to point to the local copy? What's nice about the Go workspace system is that the workspace lives above the individual modules, meaning that the individual modules don't need any modification to pull in local dependencies.

E.g. if your workspace looks like this:

workspace/
mod1/
mod2/

Then both mod1 and mod2 will pull their dependencies remotely.

But if you add a file to workspace/go.work, then local versions of mod1 and mod2 can be used without changing either mod1 or mod2.

> fun-filled work environment - the culture aspect

This seems like a doomed idea. Every person I know who goes to a co-working space is because they want to get work done. They want good Internet and quietness. If they wanted a fun-filled work environment, they'd work from home. It almost sounds like WeWork based their model on the wrong part of office culture.
I feel things work most intuitively if the undo/redo functions simply navigate the history, but do not themselves form part of the history.
Non-trivial amounts of time? When I lived in the US, I would wake up and be at the DL location (Dallas Tx) at 5am. Not fun but doable and I would have my temporary ID the same day. I live in France now. It took me 9 months to receive a DL.. So a few hours waiting in line in the US is not so bad. So for me, the arguement that it is too time consuming to 'access' a form of identification is not reality. It sucks, it isn't fun. But you can get it done same day by sacrificing a little sleep. For a small fee I might add.
